Back when I was in the depths of drug addiction, I was arrogant enough to believe I could think of enough permutations of possible outcomes given input variables etc.

But I was always wrong. I couldn’t predict the future — and neither can you. None of us can.

> The task at hand, though, was to come up with a concrete scenario and you've failed at that.

Nah. The task I assigned myself (I don’t work for you) was to highlight the error in your logical reasoning.

Truth and reality is a lot more analogue. It’s never two options.

Might be a good take home exercise for you to come up with a few boring and likely options that sit somewhere in the middle of dystopia and utopia.

But you don’t have to.
3. Get rid of the aspects of capitalism which make it too difficult to have kids.

It isn't crazy. The system we have now is crazy. The fact that we're mentioning artificial wombs instead of destroying capitalism is worrying.

> some organizations have a single place of documentation and users still fail to bother checking it

It depends on the size is the org in question, but at some point docs existing and being indexed is still not enough to find them. On the extreme side of that, AWS has docs for pretty much everything - yet I often fail to find the right page, simply because there's too much content and there's lots of pages talking about related things but not answering my question.

Sometimes it's missing docs, sometimes it's lack of searching, sometimes the most viable path to the answer is through support. (Amazon has TAMs for that purpose)
Over time, will we cover all the roofs of the world with solar panels?

I would guess that a solar roof generates enough energy to cool the rooms below it, no matter how high the temperature rises on the outside. So with climate change continuing and solar roofs becoming more efficient and more affordable, it seems inevitable.
do the chattels and daily dealings, of life become evidence at birth, or do you have to commit a crime before anything becomes evidence?
It’s a dystopian fantasy, one that has been played out in a variety of novels.

There’s nothing inevitable about it.

> Any beer recommendations?

Where? In eastern US, Athletic Brewing makes really good hoppy ales. The ones from Brooklyn Brewery are good too, but a bit heavy for my taste.

In continental Europe, Germany has a large selection of lagers, good but not great. Clausthaler is an example. Also, I like the Czech beer Staropramen.

Is it superset if it doesn't implement all of Python? It seems more like a set that has a non-empty intersection with Python.

Depends where the support is and what level it is. With enterprise level support, not as far as you would think.

'Cheap' support is typically terrible to the point of being worse than a chatbot, generally due to the terrible pay and conditions. As support engineers get good they generally move to higher paying jobs leaving a dead sea effect at the lower pay scales.
I flipped to the my80s TV and immediately had a deja vu moment.

I was a big Trekkie and watched Star Trek 2 from an over the air VHS recording. The commercial before it started was some cop/judge show, and a series premiere of a show starring Kristie Alley as a playboy bunny. As a kid who watched too much 80s TV, I remember alot of those promos, news blips and commercials! Another movie recording (Star Wars I think) had a news promo about the death of Kiki Camarena, a DEA agent murdered by a Mexican cartel. I probably watched that promo 100 times!

Hopefully our brain capacity doesn’t fill up. I have a lot of commercials up there in long term storage!
Why do you have notifications turned on?

I have notifications on a couple of critics channels where time critical incidents are logged, they fire every month or two and that’s where I want to stop what I’m doing and look at those.

With teams however I can’t seem to find a way of muting corporate spam channels, so I have to keep the program closed when deep working.

I prefer teams to zoom now I’m afraid, the persistence of meeting chat windows for example, but for textual collaboration slack is orders of magnitude better. Maybe because we have managed to get our entire organisation at least federated and most channels are global or in large enough departments that you only need to be in one or at most two.

Spanish Words That Start with W
The last sentence of the article:

> WEI can potentially be used to impose restrictions on unlawful activities on the internet, such as downloading YouTube videos and other content, ad blocking, web scraping, etc.

Note that every single one of those activities is legal.

It's legal to scrape websites. It's legal to download Youtube videos (copyright violation is the crime, not downloading videos, and there are plenty of videos on Youtube that can be legally downloaded). It is legal to block ads.

This article isn't bad, but it really shouldn't be playing into these tropes. That sentence caught me off-guard because it's just straight up wrong, and wrong in a harmful way that suggests that there aren't court ruling showing that these activities are legal, and that people should be somehow ashamed for doing them or that they're doing something transgressive when they scrape a website.
Yes and...

This is not ambiguous: There is no safe amount that does not affect health.[1]

"We cannot talk about a so-called safe level of alcohol use. It doesn’t matter how much you drink – the risk to the drinker’s health starts from the first drop of any alcoholic beverage. The only thing that we can say for sure is that the more you drink, the more harmful it is – or, in other words, the less you drink, the safer it is,"

It is possible that a totally sober and mentally healthy person can determine that the benefits of alcohol counterbalance the health risks. I've heard a dozen meandering explanations here and they all boil down to "I like it and it seems to be helping my life more than hurting it." That seems reasonable.

However not everyone has the same risk profile, or even the same moral grounding, so demonstrating to others that there are few relative risks to alcohol consumption or not (based on your personal threat model) biases the threat models of others.

It helps nothing to continue to reject some of the strongest correlations we have and risks imbuing incorrect epistemic biases to others via demonstration. Accept the fact that you are taking a risk instead of trying to brush off the scientific consensus and be vocal about the risks given the fact that this literature is not accessible to most people.

That’s not a fair characterization. Indonesia has suffered at the hands of two empires, first the Dutch then the Japanese. It is not an expansionist power or a threat to Australia any more than New Zealand is. Just because people look different or have different beliefs doesn’t make them threats, that’s a primitive form of thinking that humanity ought to move away from.
Oh great, I'm sure this will end as well as the pain pills from Purdue..

There is a sizable minority of people who don't have a "governor" when it comes to drinking, we call them alcoholics.

Then there is a big group of people who have some moderation, but part of that "moderation" are the hangovers and by the late 20's they start to hurt much more than consecutive nights of boozing can offer.

Let's hope this is yet another pseudo-science piece to fluff some careers and little more, otherwise I'm guessing it could in the early 80's again when coke "was fun and gave you energy to do more even at work".. ( not the company line, but the general feeling in the streets )

You can easily import and use specific functions for the decoder, or executor for specific ISA. Or even use the whole state machine. And this is represented by tests. Those. any single RISC-V architecture instruction, or an entire program. Because it can be used as a cpu emulator. Those. OS doesn't matter in this case. However, I draw your attention to the fact that this is only a processor, and not an emulation of the PC and its peripherals.

By way of analogy, the government might make a law that allows, in secondary legislation, the setting of a driving speed limit.

These activists are claiming that the government is secretly intending the speed limit to be 1mph. The government are trying to ban driving!! The activists are demanding the enabling legislation be amended so that the speed limit, when set, must be no lower than Xmph.

But all this does is force all regulation to be done in primary legislation.

The debate about what the regulations should be is separate to there being a regulatory system at all.

It is right that the primary legislation just lays out in broad terms that the regulations must be "reasonable" and "proportionate" etc because it's only real purpose is to allow those regulations to be challenged in court in future.

Bank and government sites can implement it for all I care (I would buy a cheapo device to interact with them). As for my job, the laptop is already theirs. Any sites that try to implement this would be just missing me. The web enabled globalism due to its free aspect. And if they want to restrict it, I'm pretty sure someone will come with an alternate protocol.

Most people don't care because they view their computing devices as a utility or a tool. I save my breath in these cases because convenience trumps everything for them, including ownership and control. Most of my childhood was without the internet, I'm not unwilling to go back to a mostly offline life.

I wouldn't say I've seen aversion, more lack of awareness.

And what aversion there is seems to be a missing distinction between the military organization and military outcomes.

There are 1.3m active duty US DoD uniformed personnel. And another 1m reserve.

The bulk of those are performing support functions and keeping the whole organization running.

It's difficult for me to form any kind of ethical judgment about support folks, however the military is ultimately employed. And especially when weighed against the large number of tech careers that are in support of advertising/tracking.
Prying the old tiles off of the ruins of an post-apocalyptic wasteland can be very cost efficient.
West Germany had a very dynamic, bustling era in the decades after WW2. The foundation established there made them the world's top export economy pound-for-pound and one of the elite manufacturing economies. If they're lacking for ambition nationally-culturally, that would be a more recent event (post Euro).

I would speculate that there is cultural identity and dynamism value in having your own independent currency, just as there is in having your own language.

Germany's economy for example would be more potent if they weren't on the Euro. Artificially cheap exports is like a sugar high that is ultimately unhealthy for them, they have ridden that horse too far (relied on it to too great of an extent).
You seem to be conflating a bunch of individual actors here.

Congress didn't testify to Congress, Clapper did. Clapper did so in both public and private settings.

Clapper didn't tell the truth in a public setting because it was classified. Clapper (privately & immediately) informed Congress of the need for a private meeting to correct things he said in the public setting.

This would be akin to your husband asking you were the cookies are and since you noticed your son around the corner saying you don't know. Then when you son leaves you tell him they're in the top of the cabinet. Nobody is going to actually be mad except your son (that's you in this example!).

It is a pretty nice alternative to alcohol, and since their name is GABA Labs, and GHB can be synthesized from GABA, I assume they will be selling some analog or even rebranding and packaging GHB properly for consumption.

That is at odds with the observation that the German Mittelstand arguably carries the country’s economy in large parts. There are many world leaders there, hiding in niche markets. For how that lasts remains to be seen.

I was a die hard android fan boy. Owned nearly all android flagships.

I first was driven away from the Google branded phones because it was clear their priorities where something other than providing me the best hardware and software experience.

Then I was driven away from Samsung because too much bloat and advertisements within the core OS.

None is the home integration worked right. Too fractured and error prone.

I got tied of seeing people use their iPhones to get shit done and not needing to tinker heir damn phone all the time.

The iPhone is a tool. A well thought out tool that gets the fuxk out of my way so I can do the things I want. Android. IRS a toy. It’s an advertisement delivery vehicle. On Android you are the customer not the user.
>Logging isn't a "fancy" feature

If you're storing data, someone somewhere has to pay for housing it. One of the reasons IRC is lightweight is because a network and its constituent servers only facilitates exchanging data between users.

Consider how Discord is begging you and everyone to sign up for Nitro because they're housing and serving all of their data. Most IRC networks on the other hand operate perfectly fine off of donated volunteer time and hardware for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of users.

No data to store means cheaper and easier logistics. IRC is just a simple bridge, whereas Discord is a Costco.

The overwhelming majority of cyberdecks I see get posted on reddit are basically raspi + pelican case + ortho/ergodox. It's grown quite stale and certainly almost none of these devices get toted around despite the emphasis on portability in the source material.

I think a really useful cyberdeck would be something like one of the old chunky ThinkPads with the guts replaced with something smaller, leaving space for a KVM switch and other interconnects/peripherals, so that you can use its keyboard and display for an external server box, or accessing the serial console on random digital signage boxes/IOT things.
H Clinton was a terrible candidate. That's why she lost. Neoliberalism has destroyed the working class. Democrat elites too arrogant to blame themselves for their own stupidly tried to blame Putin/Russians and now we have a war in Ukraine. How's that war going in Ukraine? If it's strictly a policy to make the military industrial complex rich it's a huge success. By all other measures it's an effing disaster.

I debated in the Lincoln-Douglas format (policy wasn't big in my area) and would sometimes try arguments from deconstructionist points of view. The judges never really understood them and without their understanding, the arguments couldn't remain strong. In L-D having better analogies often was a stronger method than being clever.

I suppose that's something that was different in policy debate, where as I understand it, nonsense can be debated so long as the other side responds to it? Also, which approach leads to nuclear war? Calling the frame of the debate legitimate or illegitimate?

Precisely. Most people "enjoy" alcohol because it is socially accepted drug, but for many people so many other substances would be a lot more enjoyable, without collateral damage of alcohol for society. Alcohol is a poor choice for recreational drug for many, for the exceptions those who likes depressants.

Thats always been the problem with competetive debate - you're supposed to argue a position that often has significant culutural weight, meaning its unlikely anything you say will change anyones mind. I was once asked to debate a pro slavery stance in debate class despite obviously everyone being against it. I felt our team did pretty well and the other team did barely anything and yet everyone voted for the other side. Often the only way to succeed is by reframing the stupid position you are supposed to argue for entirely, which appears to be what this is talking about.
The problem with this type of theory is that you have to accept that everything is x-ist first, and then the speaker iterates on logic that seems internally consistent, after you have accepted that the axioms (and conclusions) of their system of reasoning are true. The problem is that since the axioms and conclusions are negatively defined, any statement within it can seem internally consistent, so it doesn't matter they just run down the clock and rope in the credulous.

The legitimacy of these critical theories seems to rest on Kripke's invention of so-called "modal logics," which I understand were initially presented as a progressive reaction in philosophy departments to the positive logics derived from maths. The criteria for logic is that it "adds up," or more accurately, our rules about logic and consistency (from Gödel, Russell, and others) were only deemed to represent reality if the logical system could represent arithmetic. Kripke seemed to propose that if you revisit and start with logics that cannot represent arithmetic, you still get consistent logical forms, which are sufficient for expressing a much larger range of phenomena. Because sure, if you produce nonsense, nonsense can represent anything. It's the definition of magical thinking, but within a couple of decades, it was being presented as the "formal" logical underpinnings for a variety of essentially marxist ideologies of different intersectional flavours, where they produce the same circular bullshit with only a few words changed, and with the same object in mind: dissolution of meaning and the destruction (neutralization) of discourse as a means to create chaos and to seize power.

It is a rhetorical system for protagonizing antagonists. We can sythesize these ideologies pretty trivially and inject them into naive minds that turn them into either activists, or neutralize any resistance to them because they're just baffling gibberish with the threat of political consequences. Nobody wants to admit they have been fooled or taken, and its easier to attack the people who point it out than to admit that you have been bullied and hustled by highly trained pros.

High school teachers judging middle school debate clubs aren't equipped to handle this, but theory is teaching kids to rhyme out ideologies that are entertaining, and even charismatic, but they're nothing but the same old tropes of the 20th century and its grisly consequences.
Fantastic, looking forward to trying this out!

And good point about JIT--it does have its place. What I should have said is that I wish there were better options with high quality support for _both_ AoT and JIT. Most of the options I'm aware of have good support for one, but poor or no support for the other. I'm curious to see how well LPython bridges the gap.
That's what we're getting at though: if you don't block browsers that spoof their identity, then you don't know that the browser isn't acting as a robot and clicking on ads in place of a human.
