> given that it is a Nazi reference. Richard Wagner was a notorious antisemite and Hitler was a fan.

Wagner was never a Nazi – he died six years before Hitler was born. Wagner isn't my thing, but not all fans of his music (even today) are Nazis. Theodor Herzl, the founder of Zionism, was a big Wagner fan–of course, he knew Wagner was a rabid antisemite, but he managed to look past that and appreciate his music in spite of his antisemitism. In 2001, the Israeli conductor Mendi Rodan–a Holocaust survivor–conducted the first public performance of one of Wagner's works in Israel since before the Second World War. If a Holocaust survivor can separate the artistic value of Wagner's music from Wagner's Jew-hatred, can others?

I wouldn't recommend naming something after him–especially in contemporary English-speaking culture which is very focused on the historical associations of names–although it is easy to forget how specific that (relatively recent development) is to a particular cultural sphere, something alien to much of the globe–but I wouldn't assume someone who did so was necessarily motivated by any sympathy for Nazism or antisemitism, especially someone coming from a culture which lacks that focus.

Actually, here's an open source project named Wagner, and obviously in reference to the composer – https://github.com/spite/Wagner – maybe an unfortunate choice of name, but I see no reason to accuse the author of sympathy for Nazism or antisemitism

> It’s like calling the group “88 Division”. Sure, not all of the grunts working for them are dyed-in-the-wool Nazis, but the leadership sure are.

"88" can mean a lot of different things. To Australians of a certain age, it may make them think of Australia's bicentenary celebrations in 1988. Some in the UK may remember "Charter 88", a left-of-centre constitutional reform pressure group founded in that year. In Chinese culture, 88 means good luck–and as someone who lives in a country with a significant Chinese minority, I've seen it used in that sense a lot over the years. I have no idea what (if anything) "88" means in Russia, but I wouldn't assume a hypothetical Russian group with "88" in its name necessarily had anything to do with Nazism. "88" as a neo-Nazi code is part of American culture, in other cultures 88 means completely different things, or nothing at all. Even in US culture, it has meanings unrelated to Nazism (amateur radio, NASCAR)

But going into exile is not going to do his power craving any good. If he aimed at toppling the minister of defence or even the president, how on earth would he be satisfied with getting some money or some contract by Belarus or some other country?

Professor Malan said students would be warned of the pitfalls of the AI, saying they should “always think critically” when presented with information.

I want to believe that this will actually happen, but my experience with people blindly trusting what a tool (not even an AI-based one) says, including but not limited to students, suggests that's not going to happen.

>which took his transgressions from private to public

In which way were his transgressions private when the transgressing article was published?
Doubt so. Putin able to gain 12T usd worth of Ukrainian land with that SMO. It is absolutely worth it. Obama and Bush would be your most stupid person attempting the invasions of Afghan, Iraq, and Libya (and Syria and Yemen to some extend). All of that is heavily in red which largely bill to American public while the military complex able to have extra swimming pools, some mistresses and maybe engaged in pedo activities.

Prigozhin coup attempt is just too clean which looked almost like a well scripted play. I wait a bit longer to access this. For now just treat it as another drama plot in ongoing SMO. Kiev should be more concern now Wagner is in Belarus with closer striking range to Kiev than at Bakhmut.
If you randomly popped in, I'd be likely to have 2-4 windows open, as I like to organize by topic. Sometimes a single topic will have 2 windows dedicated to it so I can have things on both monitors. There are usually at least 5-10 tabs on each window. I have a daily review in which I think about closing but inevitably keep most of the tabs around indefinitely because I'm a hoarder and I might need them later. In reality I go on a tab-closing frenzy about once every 2 weeks and just close everything not related to what I'm working on.

I keep tons of bookmarks, organized into folders (Projects, Learning resources, School (separate from learning because school is a drone factory), Shopping lists, political propaganda, and Entertainment stuff like YouTube/Hulu). I keep even more "bookmarks" in my org-roam PKMS in the form of link indexes.

More bandwidth, and more or wider cache lines, maybe. From my crude benchmarking, pretty sure a lot of the oomph in Apple's M1 is that 128-byte cache line.

512-byte SIMD operations are great, but if I'm constantly having to copy things over to SIMD registers to do it... am I really winning?

More cores just means more cache evictions / contention in many workloads.

It's very clear that you're objecting to a turn of phrase that posed no issue to

Perhaps it's something about yourself and your background exposure to English that's at issue here.
Re: the course descriptions. Yes, I can see a judge buying that defense. And yes, we don't know what license to use exists for MIT faculty. I could also see a judge buying that the research article here doesn't need to publish the course descriptions in order to make its point at all.

> IANAL either, but figure 4 is likely not the "work", rather a small quote from a much larger work. How does a small quote from a work (even if allegedly unpublished) "fully and completely destroys its value"?

Exams are often composites of multiple independent works. Said exams being recomposited periodically (i.e. using a database of questions to create an exam). The argument here is that the individual question is itself a complete work (equivalent to an independent chapter in a book of works on a topic). And here it is not just on its lonesome, but with its answer, too.
> If you lose trust in your own switching equipment then it's all over.

What is all over? The security boundary is when packets leave the machine with private information. VLANs and management networks and whatever aren't it. Proper security assumes an insecure network and uses cryptography for privacy and authentication.
"food insecurity" is an extremely broad brush, and has nothing to do with abundance. Many homes where members of the home are obese qualify as "food insecure" because they don't buy fruits and/or vegetables.

The USDA doesn't ask why, they just ask if there are fruits/vegetables in the house, and if the answer is no, they mark the home as "food insecure".

Another questions is whether you worry that you might not have enough food at some point in the future YEAR.

Frankly, the metric becomes obviously meaningless once you read all eight questions.

Or the Many Worlds Interpretation is the correct understanding of quantum mechanics. The MWI people will say that indeterminism comes from the Copenhagen idea of there being a random collapse. But since measuring devices and human brains are also quantum systems, there's no reason to propose a collapse. Decoherence would be the reason we only see one result.
I didn't solo at my limit. The routes were easy, below my standard, and well known by me. The possibilities of so low that I just didn't think I would fall. I was good enough and confident enough that I want to experience freedom. During the solos, I didn't feel anything, it was mechanical, pure physical movements. I didn't have heightened sense or anything like that. In fact, it was less "arousal" than if I have rope and trying my absolute hardest on other routes. I also didn't have selfies or anything that would even prove I was there. But after the climbs, there was a sense of fulfillment, a quiet confidence and pride that simply make me happy. I didn't tell many people about my soloing because I did it for myself.

Many of my partners/mentors have done bigger solos. All of the solos were done in quiet manner, and generally on less traffic routes or days. They weren't searching for meaning of life or next high. They simply want to climb quietly and competently and come home without any drama.

I stopped soloing because I find it hard to take the next step, which is to solo harder and harder grades. I didn't like the way it made me feel. It became chasing glory rather than self expression.

You state that it makes credit more accessible to everyone else yet don’t really cite any reason why discrimination based on location is inherently bad.

The truth is it isn’t. Anything that helps the lender feel they are reducing their risk in lending will allow them to accept lower interest rates.

Of course, for a person that has no choice but to be in location X, this sucks as the data will suggest lending money to them at a higher rate due to greater perceived risk, but it’s tough to argue with data.
There’s some literal survival bias here. Those climbers became famous because they didn’t die.

Ryan Triplett was a very well known climber in the PNW that died free soloing 15 years ago. Perhaps he would have more name recognition if still alive today.

Let me tell you, I've been diving back into it and it's just the same stuff. It took me a pretty long time just to get logging working. I had to Grok Integrant again because I wouldn't understand my project otherwise. And when it comes to best practices around unit testing, it's another one of those things where no one in the community seems to be sharing much about it. I used Kit to bootstrap this project and the way it set up tests doesn't even work, but this was what most people recommended to me for starting a Clojure project

I think the vibe I have gotten working for so long in Clojure is that you're basically screwed unless you are already in a work place using it.
Yes, that’s how dog whistles work. They have plausible deniability. I’m sure that Wagner group are just fans of classical music and it’s all a big misunderstanding!
You spend on a lot of things beyond housing, and most things outside of housing are about the same price between regions, so even if your housing costs is half as cheap, you are still falling behind on half as much salary. This is especially true for retirement savings, since you don’t have retire in a HCOL where you earned that money, and that expensive house can be sold, perhaps with some kind of profit to offset the extra interest paid, later.
Then that sounds like we need more accurate certifications.

R Markdown using pandoc and knitr. Initially, I had developed shell scripts to run them alongside YAML metadata[1]. I developed KeenWrite to replace those scripts opting for flexmark-java, which implements the CommonMark standard, and is highly compatible with pandoc.

If your goal is to write a little bit of prose and do lots of data analysis, plots, graphs, etc., then use Jupyter Notebooks. If you plan to write a lot of prose with images, graphs, and plots thrown in, use KeenWrite.

Well, no such thing as stable addresses since you don't really own IP addresses, you are leasing from RIR.
But, if you are fine with APNIC allocation, see if RIPE PI Allocation is sufficient for you, they are much cheaper(RIPE charges $50/yr), add some LIR cost, total would be <$100/yr.

"[Coral larvae] don't have ears but somehow they're attracted to healthy reef sounds," he said.

"Maybe they can sense the vibrations with their cilia [tiny hair-like appendages], but we don't know.".

This sounds like more of a philosophical question, but is there a difference between hearing and sensing vibrations? Is there a certain level of signal processing required for hearing? Like, I can sense vibrations with my fingers, but I wouldn't call that hearing.
> Exams are often composites of multiple independent works.

If figure 4 came from an exam. For all we know, figure 4 actually came from course notes, assignments, etc. Whether or not issuing those to students counts as "publication", they are easily available to future students in a way that past exam questions are often not, hence their publication does far less damage to their value.

Also, MIT says that "Iddo did not have permission from all the instructors" – for all we know, figure 4 is from one of those instructors for which he did have that permission.
Phew, I'm just happy that OpenAI first gathered consent from all data sources on which they trained GPT4.
I do. I am using async-graphql to create various micro-services and then stitches them into a single GraphQL gateway. Unless you are going for a JavaScript-less website, I don't recommend patterns like Actix. It's better to go for a full React stack with your API bundled into a single point (REST or GraphQL). Static elements can be served from a CDN or else.
Ah! Sorry for the confusion, you are right that there can be at most one Windows Sandbox running at a time. But Windows Sandbox is based on Windows Containers [1] which can coexist (Defender already uses the same technology, so this must be true), and it seems that the single instance limitation of Sandbox is more or less artificial [2]. I haven't yet seen a third-party attempt to emulate Sandbox but it looks in principle possible.

What exactly do you see as overstated - only the "10x"?
I realize characterizing sort performance with one number is very lossy, but consider "can be" to be a rather modest claim.

> The 10x number is from comparing against std::sort on random data, yes?

That's just one example. For another, check out how many projects still use the even slower HeapSort: https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=context:global+HeapSort+cou...
(198K search hits)

When comparing against ipnsort, that is also (partially) vectorized, right?

FWIW I agree that radix sort can be great in certain cases, especially if one core is allowed to soak up all the system memory bandwidth.
Unfortunately this is rare from where I sit.

I'm curious which specific parts/aspects of scalar algorithms you'd recommend for study?
From my perspective (admittedly skewed towards servers), anything as energy-inefficient as scalar code running on big OoO cores is a hard sell whenever vector alternatives exist.
Likely because, as a whole, they are a lot older?
Has the IPCC or any credible organisation demonstrated that CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is the primary driver of climate change?

Note that emissions and actual pollution in the atmosphere (let's not forget our lands and the seas) MUST be heavily reduced to levels FAR FAR lower than the current and worsening crapping in our planet.

The first MUST be identified before throwing resources and effort at it.

Not even a Black Swan, in Taleb's original. It's a known unknown. Every time I write a checklist I know it's going to be somewhat wrong, even if I have other people go over it. I also know there are things I should have checklists for but don't, but I don't know what they are. Another known unknown. A real black swan is when thousands of dedicated people have thought about the issue and miss it. Thinking your checklists that no one or only a few other people looked at are perfect is just a major lack of intellectual humility.
> vqsort authors found that at 1e8 elements a hybrid of ips4o (samplesort, think many-way partition) beats pure vqsort.

Whoa, important caveat there: we did the hybrid with ips4o as an easy way of getting multicore support.
We also mention pure scalar ips4o is slower than vqsort until it can use _19 threads_ (vs one for vqsort).
It is the combination of multiple threads (to compensate for the much slower scalar code) and bandwidth friendliness that makes this hybrid useful.
Don't transactions give that feature?
I'm not sure "underpins" is the right word here.

A theory of ants wouldn't "underpin" the behavior of ants. If the ants behave differently than the theory, then the theory is wrong and should be changed. The ant theory is something in the minds of outside observers, not the ants, and ant behavior doesn't rely on it. The dependency goes the other way: the observers modify their theory to better describe the ants. The ants would exist without the theory, but theory would be pointless if there were no ants.

Is a philosophy of science similar? Or does it have a practical effect on scientific work?

Unlike ants, scientists can learn a philosophy of science, and perhaps believe it. Does this affect their work?

One reason it might not affect their work in practice is that they didn't learn that particular philosophy. Also, perhaps different scientists might learn different philosophies without practical effect.
Explicit suicide, while every adult's human right (in my view), is not precisely congruent with irresponsibly climbing things.

There is an inequality between doing something explicitly to die and doing something that may cause death but probably, usually won't.

Equating them is a mistake.
The other thing about "dog whistles": you can claim anything you want is a "dog whistle", and even if it isn't, it is almost impossible for anybody to prove you wrong. It is an unfalsifiable claim, and unfalsifiable claims rarely have much value.

I'm no fan of Wagner PMC – they are brutes guilty of war crimes – but why bother with this worthless "dog whistle" criticism of them when there are lots of real atrocities we can condemn them for?

Suicide itself is, in the philosophy of many, permissible.

This isn't congruent with suicide, however. But even if it were, that's permissible, as our lives are our own to use as we see fit. Anything less means you're not free to choose your own destiny.

It's unnecessary to you and me, but obviously not to these people. Our own opinions of necessary do not apply to them, only to our own lives.
