Head/eye tracking as user input isn't really new in VR. In the past it has not felt very good. The pinch gesture in the Hololens was very unreliable. Its not natural that your gaze effects the world around you other than making eye contact with someone, perhaps. I think reaching out and gripping things is farm more _natural_.

That said, the sensors and software in this headset might finally be up to the task. And despite being unnatural it might be easy enough to pick up.
wasm compiles to "native" code, for whatever "native" means in your execution environment

if you're deploying wasm to the browser, then native means your JS engine

if you're deploying wasm to the server, then native means actual machine code

the competitive advantage versus java is (at a very high level) the language design -- java is much higher-level than wasm, which limits its potential

And your definition of democracy is nothing more than electing a master to rule over you for 5 years. As long as his actions are legal, you consider them legitimate despite being highly unpopular and imposed on people through police violence.

There is more to democracy than a vote every 5 years.

Consent of the governed: "Government's legitimacy and moral right to use state power is justified and lawful only when consented to by the people or society over which that political power is exercised."

The founders of the United States believed that the government of Great Britain should rest on the principle that government depended on the consent of the governed and that any government not based on that consent could be justifiably overthrown and replaced.

Pretty sure revolutionary France abides by the same principles.

> Red Hat distributes GPL code with restrictions attached beyond the GPL license

Do you honestly believe that Red Hat and IBM's army of lawyers don't understand GPL?
C++ has constructors, designated initializers are redundant.
Agreed, yeah.

I don't want to start a flamewar with this controversial hot-button topic, but imo it is kind of similar to the whole incel culture. The kind of takes where they believe that women aren't interested in them because they are 5'9 or because of them not having a square jawline or because of some perceived "chad" gatekeeping them, and totally not because of their own attitudes and behaviors.

This is just missing forest for the trees. I am not saying that looks don't matter at all. But the sad part is that the heavy majority of those people look totally fine, and it is just their hyperfocus on their perceived deficiencies (and associated behaviors) that drives people away.

Same here. No one denies that nepotism exists. But 9 times out of 10 when I hear someone complaining about it, it boils down to "how dare they hire someone that they had any prior personal experience with and who they know for a fact is a great specialist due to the shared track record".
It's definitely not a perfect metaphor but I enjoy working with vanilla JS or without a framework and I think it's very different from "no JS" (I mean... seems obvious given that it's JS).

You can technically do anything a framework does in your own JS, since they're all just opinionated JS libraries. You can make your own SPA or implement your own VDOM or SSG but it might take a long time and not be as battle tested. On the other hand you're also free to make your own optimizations that might work well for your needs without worrying about a huge framework.
Look into article, it is all Phase 1, Phase 2.... like an elevator. And absolute top is helping community like proper tradcon. It does not even count with possibility, that people do not really care about such things. There is no basic reasoning about "should we do it"? Usual endgame is to settle down with bad partner.

I like hiking and traveling. I am always in climate that has nice temperatures, usually near sea. Sometimes I sleep on beach, sometimes in hotel. All via super cheap deals (you get very good at that over time).

If I would have less money, I would probably live healthier lifestyle. I would cut alcohol and meat, eat more veggies. I would also take long term lease, make some friends, that is another win for mental health.
[Spoilers]

They don't need Chaos. They want to disable Rabbit, and they know Rabbit's certificates mostly tie back to a single CA, Credit Suisse. So they "revoke" Credit Suisse and accept the consequences, which (they acknowledge) are career ending for the Europeans. This is mostly a plot convenience because Rabbit is much too powerful to allow what Vinge wants to happen next.

No, you can't actually "revoke" a root CA, the decision to trust (or not) a root is local. So this part of the novel is a fantasy. But even if you assume it means that the European authorities can somehow reach into Credit Suisse and cause it to revoke all the intermediates (which maybe is a plausible reading) and so on down to end entity certificates, that doesn't really work either. Not on the time scale Vinge needs for the novel.

Hours are conceivable but unlikely. Days maybe. A week. But the novel needs it to be seconds.

There are two big obstacles to even the revocation which does really exist. Firstly humans are much more enthusiastic about seeing Dancing Pigs than they are about safety, because safety is a very abstract idea, whereas seeing dancing pigs is an immediate reward. This is the Dancing Pigs problem, and we've put some effort in, it's less likely a random Chrome user would get their face ripped to pieces because they wanted Dancing Pigs and so they bypassed the security checks that would protected them - than say - fifteen years ago, but only somewhat.

Secondly though, there's not a great enthusiasm technically for this sort of counter-measure. It's so rarely beneficial in practice. Most of the time those humans were right, we were just denying them Dancing Pigs. Their face might get ripped to pieces, but to be honest it's as likely to be because they deliberate went to "Rip My Face To Pieces.example" as through anything we could have prevented. This is only barely a technical problem. So, when there are things we could do to get closer to what's in the novel, why would we?

Building the PKI which exists in Vinge's novel is probably a bad expenditure of resources.
so let's say you're in an implosion event at 5000 ft.

Do you feel it? The brain stays alive for 20 seconds after your heart stops. I would imagine your skull doesn't get crushed because fluids are only a tiny bit compressible with that much pressure

I imagine your ribcage would collapse, stopping your heart immediately

logically not in this case. at that point where the water level is sufficient to make someone drown the remaining air would be compressed to several hundred atmospheres pressure.
Compared to Unix and especially modern operating systems DOS is more comparable to firmware than OS, it was something ultra minimal which basically got out of the way of developers. And being so minimal it allowed IBM PCs to sell for prices below $10,000 (1980s! dollars). This was they key to the success of Microsoft and the IBM PC.
You might have created a ‘better’ OS at the time, but no one cared about your fancy slow OS which used all the memory cost a fortune in hardware.
I can't imagine that the author is saying "don't count uuids this way!" but instead is trying to explain how locality works in btree indices, using a trivial example to demonstrate it.
Midjourney only used a combination of SD and their own stuff with the --beta and --test/testp model which came between V3 and V4, other versions have no connection to SD.
Also former Red Hatter, disclaimer also applies.

According to my observations, Red Hat does an unbelievable amount of stuff by hand. Lots of internal processes require someone to do something at a given point, otherwise these distros are not happening.

I believe RH is now cutting costs at precisely these places: projects that don't directly contribute to the revenue get cut. However, as the post said, these changes make it incredibly hard to ship open source software for RHEL-likes to the point where I already decided to look for alternatives when doing integration work.
Depending on your definition of 'instantly' and 'crushed' yes.

true, i've never heard of issues with the engineering of a submarine produced under socialism
I was basing it off of “IME” and “AFAICT” similar to what you just did in your own ad hominem attack ironically. I don’t tend to preface things like that when commenting and usually I assume this when reading comments online. I used to write “anecdotally” but it’s 2023.

https://itsoktobewhite.quora.com/

On Quora, there’s a “group” sort of like a subreddit titled “It’s OK to be White”. There’s about 35k people who follow it. Their mission is to “uplift White cultures and oppose anti-White racism”.

Like I already said in my previous comment (so you didn’t need to ask twice what I was basing it off of), people often post map distortion memes on Quora and these other people from that group come out of the woodworks to complain. These memes aren’t even posted in that group. And I wish I could say that it’s just these weirdos on Quora that act like this. But no. I’ve seen it on Instagram. On Facebook. I’ve heard it in real life. It’s a thing that bothers a certain demographic of people. While it’s not a “major” thing and shouldn’t matter, it’s still a thing that I tend to see often.

I see there’s miscommunication here though. I do agree with you that most people “don’t care”. That’s the phrase we have been using. What you are saying and what I also believe is that most people are “map agnostic” for lack of a better phrase. They don’t care in that sense. Like life is too short. It’s just a map.

But when I used the phrase “don’t care” and added underscores around it and the words “at all” in my comments yesterday, I was referring to people who have _strong_ and _negative_ opinions about not caring.

For example, OP said that he was _constantly amazed_. And the other language he used evoked that he was “flabbergasted” that people care about map distortions. (Do you see how this is a different definition of “don’t care”?)

The language he was using and the emotions involved “mirrored” the language and emotions that I see on Quora and hear in real life from that specific group of people.

You’re right. I don’t have any concrete data or surveys or experiments or a sentiment analysis to show that those groups overlap. I was just basing it off of being alive for 30+ years, living in different countries, having a brain, etc.

(Also, there’s nothing wrong with calling someone a moron and/or a racist lol. The two groups usually overlap. Oops I did it again!)
Have you read Superforecasting? One conclusion they had was that very partisan thinkers, basically dogmatic, were the worst at predicting future events, and it didn't matter what that dogma was. Liberal or conservative or anti big business or whatever. All of the really good forecasters were relentlessly fact based and spent a huge amount of time diving deeply into facts, and microfacts that supported facts. It sounded exhausting and one of the author's takeaways was "the world is enormously complex" and that most of us don't know anything about anything (hello gelman amnesia).
Now, the arbitrariness has been codified, and moderators can be selective with the force of law.
I've always felt like I have awful short term memory. I use tiling WMs so I can see information side-by-side. If I need to type something exactly, I forget the exact details almost immediately.

I need to derive things to understand them, ie music theory. I'm jealous of people who can memorize and take at face value but if I'm looking at a chord, I need to know the components that create that chord, which gets frustrating because music has a lot of rules that seem to be based on vibe and closeness. Two things can be identical but distinct based on their context.

It used to take me 2-3x as long to do homeworks or labs compared to other classmates. Same with work assignments. It often triggers an imposter syndrome type feeling.

Yet I have proof that I'm capable of solving complex problems, I understand certain things almost immediately compared to others, other things I need to study for a long time.

I tend to rarely know an answer on the spot, but I know how to determine many things, by knowing how to find the information needed.

I don't pretend to be a genius, but I have proof via a degree, others opinions of me, and material results that basically say I'm intelligent to a point.

Once I get into a flow I can retain a fairly complex system in my head but before or after that state, it's a terrible blur where I can barely focus my eyes.
It's just that experimental submarines vanishing on their way to the Titanic are much more unusual and intriguing than boating accidents. There was also an element of suspense since the fate of the sub was unknown (similar to flight MH370).

Linux battery life is what sells so many MacBooks to developers.
These kind of long, agonizing, pointless deaths are all too common when dealing with the ocean.

There was a horrifying case after Pearl Harbor where bodies were found in the airpocket of the USS West Virginia. They had flashlights with batteries and fresh water and had marked off 16 days on a calendar.

Legend has it that sailors could hear banging for weeks knowing they could not cut through the thick battleship armor in time and just drowned out the noise.
I would like to add the perspective of a small-business infrastructure guy here.

First things first: we're a Rocky Linux shop. About 100 instances, some bare metal, some VMs. A few local, a few at cloud providers like DigitalOcean.
Held together by Ansible and kickstart installs.

Too often the discussion about RHEL clones like Rocky paints a picture of people like me as freeloaders.
And some of the folks with a similar setup might be.
But most small-time Linux admins I know are real open-source believers.
I would really like to funnel some money into the platform we're using.
First and foremost because it's the right thing to do, the people writing all that source code deserve it.
But also because we need platform continuity, and being able to open a support case from time to time would also be great.

But it's really hard. I don't have the time and nerves to deal with the RHEL sales department, deal with the licensing, produce my own cloud images because DigitalOcean can't provide them, deal with our own internal purchasing process, deal with convincing my superiors that we need to.

Please, dear Red Hat, just give me a DigitalOcean VM (or something comparable) that costs a few dollars more and has automatic RHEL licensing. Make deals with the VM providers, work something out.
I also did remote long before the whole COVID business, and I think you're half right.

I do think remote was a "fad" to some degree, people were ushering in a "new era of work that will forever change things", and that clearly wasn't going to happen. While I do really like remote work, it's not without its downsides, both for employees and employers. I think almost everyone who worked remote before COVID realized this.

That said, certainly for software development, I don't think remote work is going away. It existed before COVID and will exist after COVID, and in that sense it's not a "fad". I also think software dev is the best example of where remote works well because fundamentally it's an individual activity, and it's also an activity where I feel text communication often works better than verbal communication (although verbal still has value, of course).

They're well-understood to not be what you want to build a high-pressure submarine out of.

They can take the pressure. But they're incredibly expensive to check for defects, and the result of a defect is "sub-second catastrophic failure" instead of any warning of imminent structural degradation.
Did Oceangate or its founder(s) say they intended to 'move fast and break things', or are you just imputing that they held those beliefs? The company purported to "maintain[] high-level operational safety".

I found this post insightful and interesting. I especially appreciate the various quotes and links to further sources. I don't have much to contribute to the discussion, but this penultimate paragraph brought up an idea:

>This principle can also apply when private incentives exist but are asymmetric. A pro-Ukraine propagandist can probably make a bit of money, but not as much as a pro-Russian one, because Russia has a lot more money. And debunking propaganda makes little money at all. So the Kremlin’s lies have a natural advantage here.

This seems correct on the face, but leaves out the substantial effects that platforms have by putting their thumbs on the scales. Pro-Ukraine videos perform better on YouTube and Twitter than do Pro-Russian ones. I believe this is because the platforms are explicitly down-ranking pro-Russian propaganda. This is likely being done in the name of combatting misinformation. One thing that is abundantly clear though - in war, both sides are strongly incentivized to lie. For example, you will essentially never hear a true casualty number about a war that's in progress from either side. I follow a number of pro-Ukraine commentators who conveniently leave out the rare occasions that Russia has a military victory, but confidently repeat each Ukrainian success as if it were the tipping point of the war. Is this misinformation? It is certainly selected and communicated with a strong slant.

If you set two clocks to the same time and put one at the bottom of the ocean and one at the top of a mountain ... after time, they will drift apart ... so is this ultra precise time in space making up for gravity time distortion as well?

> Why is it more likely that it immediately imploded rather than after a few days?

Weren't there a lot of boats and other resources listening once it was reported missing?

It's one thing for the tender to not hear an implosion when no one else was following this excursion. It seems harder to explain no one hearing an implosion when a growing number of resources were trying to detect any signs of activity from the sub.
That is not true when your looking at IT infrastructure, connecting to the state K-12 network, qualifying for connectivity grants, etc.

"Most Indians oppose legal abortion"

one text compares abortion to the killing of a priest
another text considers abortion a worse sin than killing one's parents
another text says that a woman who aborts her child will lose her caste"

Reddit is kind of a special case because the same moderators stayed there forever and have evolved to extreme uniculture. Also they are (obviously) coordinated now and reddit has never given users any recourse. It's not like the moderation in other places.

Catalogs are also forms of advertising, but your larger point on push vs pull is correct. Something being shoved in your face is invasive and abusive while having something accessible should you decide to request or seek it out is the ideal.

I've gone to some lengths to remove as many ads from my life as I can and discoverability is a real problem. There are times when I only hear about something I'm very interested in long after others have and there's likely things I'd buy, but I don't even know it exists as an option. Even with that problem, it's still worth it to me to shut out as much of that manipulation and noise as I can.
In Lisp, you can just use what you know and not challenge yourself; you're not constrained or forced. Any such challenge has to be self-imposed.

You can learn enough to be able to work in it, and then just use it like Fortran.
