> Nope. “Let people break the law” is the new standard.

First of all cops in America don't have to do nothing. Being robbed or murdered? Nah, let's look other way. Mass shooter on the prowl? But he can shoot at me better hide. White person in expensive car, nothing happened, nothing to see. But as soon there is money to be made through civil forfeiture, every cop is all of sudden a brave law defender. There is no money in law enforcement, but a lot in legalised theft.
War crimes vs necessary evils appear to be in the eye of each beholder. Heh, consider the U.S.' War Between the States, a/k/a Civil War, a/k/a War of Northern Aggression. Even nearly 160 years after, there's plenty of cultural controversy over who was evil and who was in the right. Even recent government banning of old flag motifs, tearing down of statues, and renaming of domestic military bases hasn't taken the wind out of those old sails.
Parents care about the probability of their kid being victimized. They don’t care whether 1 priest abuses 10 kids in a congregation of 300 or 10 teachers abuse 10 kids in a school of 300. The relevant metric is number complaints normalized by the relevant potential victim population. There’s more complaints in one year against schools than in 50 years against the Catholic Church. Yes, that’s partly because way more people attend school (everyone) than attend Catholic church regularly. But the difference isn’t a factor of 50. In the relevant period—complaints peaked in the 1980s—probably 1 in 8 Americans attended Catholic Church weekly. (Probably even more than that because families with children are much more likely to attend church.)
Kiss up, kick down
If you mean I am not aware of the ones that don’t speak English, not really, I have worked and gone to university in Japan and know a large number of people with whom I only speak in Japanese because their English skills are not good. Among working research physicists (not just Phds working on some company) under 45 I have found solid English skills as a rule, probably because international experience is important to their careers.
> EUV necessitates an entirely new way to generate light. It’s a remarkably complex process that involves hitting molten tin droplets in midflight with a powerful CO2 laser. The laser vaporizes the tin into a plasma, emitting a spectrum of photonic energy. From this spectrum, the EUV optics harvest the required 13.5-nm wavelength and direct it through a series of mirrors before it is reflected off a patterned mask to project that pattern onto the wafer

This is incredible and feels like the most sci-fi sentence I've read in a long time.

It's unbelievable to think that this works, not just in a lab, but in commercial systems that will produce hundreds of chip wafers an hour (>100 anyway, they didn't clarify further).

A thought exercice: would you enjoy living in a 3x bigger house and drive a small cart from room to room ? with a well adapted house it could be more convenient. Would it be nicer ?
I think the argument would be that they're necessary but not sufficient for success.
I agree.

> proper debate.

Unfortunately, only True Scotsmen can have Proper Debates.

> Tools only work when you don't abuse them.

I agree. The point of the parent article is that debate is being abused by kritik. My point is that debate has many weaknesses besides kritik.

> it just means you need to realize that they can be gamed.

I have to expand on this - you, me, and the rest of the audience need to realize that it can be gamed, and how, and we need to notice when it is being gamed.
What I see here amounts to an organizational problem. The Dewey decimal system isn't limited to physical copies. An application that has all that organizational information on all of libgen for example would be much more powerful than at any one library. The only thing I see that is missing is randomly walking by a shelf and finding a book that catches your fancy, a side effect of the way in which the information is accessed, and we have other ways of stumbling on books, I do it all the time on the internet. My personal library is almost entirely made up of books I found like that.

While alphabetically indexed lists of http links would most certainly be prone to rot, other modes of information storage can be more resilient than physical libraries, and easier to access.

> Equity in software is weird. At small companies, it's pretty much like winning the lottery

What’s weird about it? Stock in public companies are also “equity”. It’s not winning the lottery in that case. I know my shares of AMZN are going to be worth something as they vest.

That’s the reason I refuse to work for a startup at this point in my life. It was bad enough when my RSUs dropped from $140 to $90 by the time my first shares vested (back to $130 now and I got a refresher that mostly made up for it). But that’s a kid better than waiting for an exit.
> i'll ignore the infrastructure costs, it's free to drive on I-5 after all.

Ugh. Like I said. =\

We aren’t building a new city with no initial infrastructure. This isn’t Sim City. And we aren’t rebuilding after getting firebombed and flattened in WW2. What we do have is an actually pretty good interstate highway system that was built in the 50s by eradicating minority neighborhoods and rampant use of eminent domain.

The only relevant question “given where we are today, what makes sense”. How much does it cost to go from where we are to a rich and robust train system?

So, we have a bunch of highways that require maintenance/growth and a bunch of train track that needs to be built. If you want to move budget from highway maintenance to train track construction and maintenance that’s totally cool. But you can’t just handwave it away.

I’ve read all the articles about why America sucks at building rail and what the per mile cost is.

So. Napkin math. How much to build, operate, and maintain a high-speed rail system in the PNW. Full system costs. Face value. With zero complaining or snark about how much we spend on cars/highways today.
Most breakthroughs come from serendipitous discoveries. It’s counter productive to be critical in this way.
I think you have to distinguish between the aesthetic and the themes. The former, is very definitely tied to the '80 and it feel very retro-futuristic today (still cool in its own way).

The themes I think are still relevant today, so much that they are hardly sci-fi anymore.
Genuine question--if one isn't willing to debate the question at hand, then why debate at all? Why not, as a point of pride or honor or authentic rejection of the topic, withdraw from debate and take the L? It seems the side bringing up the K either is an activist for a different topic no one else wants to hear or is just someone(s) wanting to get one over (even embarrass) their opponent(s) by blind-siding them.
Are you sure you watched high school debates? That sounds suspiciously like presidential debates.
If things were so obvious, we wouldn't need the debates. Your first line is most correct, in that many things are up to debate because even if the general tack is right, nuances matter.
SWI is just software interrupt. Gets trapped by supervisor mode. Then the registers can be decoded by the kernel to implement the correct syscall. Old school real mode x86 equivalent would be an INT instruction.

If you want to do straight to the hardware bare metal then you need to do something like this (https://www.rpi4os.com/part5-framebuffer/) but you’re going to have to do all the other system init work that a modern system needs. Old computers were simpler!
I lived in a place for most of my life that refused to build freeways "because they didn't want to become like LA" meanwhile more people moved there, traffic got worse. Going "across town" about 15 miles was a burden. You hated to do it. I then moved to a town that had a few freeways and 15 miles away was considered close. The town I grew up in, finally built some cross town roads, and travel time improved.
I think you can have too many freeways, but you can definitely have to few
> You remove the testing and suddenly all these problematic incentives go away.

IME the teacher unions are also opposed to advanced learning. It requires teachers to do more work if classes are heterogeneous, since they would need to make up more lesson plans and assignments. And the teacher unions are opposed to tracking because then teachers don’t all have the same mix of students, which leads to member complaints. At least this is what we’ve been told.
IMHO the traditions of debate are more analogous to boxing than say, philosophy - a competitive endeavour, emphasising technique and effectiveness rather than a truth-seeking activity per se.

I think this is a legimate point of view despite the underlying hint of nihilism.

Some traditions emphasise restrictions on the kinds of tactics you're allowed to use (e.g. pure demagogy or deliberate use of convincing fallacies are frowned upon) and I can't help but think of these as like queensberry rules vs mma...

We don’t allow multiple values for a given input of a function. Ever. This is never done. f(x) = x^2 is not invertible as a real valued function of a real variable. On the restricted domain of [0, infinity) it is invertible and that inverse is sqrt(x). If you want to talk about negative roots you use the function -1*sqrt(x). You can construct a new function as you did to encapsulate this fact but one never has a function with multiple values for a given input. I don’t know of any mathematician that thinks of functions as allowing them to have multiple values for a given input. You will not find this in the literature.
> 1) Most people prefer to drive..

You don’t know that. You would have to run the experiment - spend equal amount of money on infrastructure for bikes and for cars. Then see.

Most British cities are tiny, you can cross most of them on an e-bike in like 15 to 30 minutes. Except London of course. But there is usually no safe way to cross them.

When I ask people in London, why are your not cycling, 95% say they are afraid of getting hit by a car. They are wrong - they will be killed by a truck. Most cyclists in London due to 4 axle construction trucks. I have seen one of the bastards illegally drive into a cycle lane, then onto a pavement where women walk with kids, and drive on that pavement to get around traffic. I have seen a BMW stuck on a bend in a segregated cycle way at Tower of London. I’ve seen a wolksvagen in a cycle lane upside down.

Go to a rich and cycling safe are of London like hackney, there are plenty of bikes. Go to an area with dangerous roads, like Surrey, no bikes

We spend insane amount of money on car infra. We just built a new tonnes in east London, the only way to cross the river for miles, and you can only cross in a car.
>I'm questioning the reason why it's included at all.

Because it makes the final product taste better. You can reframe that to mean something nefarious (ie. "it's there is to increase [...] addiction"), but fundamentally it's not any different than you adding salt when you're cooking.

>it's not much, you won't even notice it

>Because soda contains several potentially habit-forming substances like [...] sodium

Let me get this straight. You're claiming that "you won't even notice it" yet it's also "habit-forming"? What's the mechanism by which drinking 0.2g of salt per 20oz bottle gets you addicted?
If you read the article, you'll see some TALK about child sex slaves. The only evidence you'll see of any ACTION is doxxing self-employed adult prostitutes.

That's probably because actual child sex slavery is relatively hard to find.
The drama does give it kind of a cold fusion vibe. But the motivation of the "industry guy" is pretty text book. If you wanted to scam your way into a Nobel Prize this might be a way to do it right? Still I don't think the Nobel committee would buy it but who knows right?

Going to be really an interesting August and even if it doesn't pan out to be "superconducting" the theory is one that leads to more structural investigations into crystal structures that "might".
> There's no gifted program or tracking/segregating by ability anymore. I guess those are bad for "equity".

Unlikely you'd even see it in a sea of city lights; not close enough to SFO to matter.

> That doesn't mean civilian "reality" is somehow more valid or more accurate than military "reality".

It's not any more valid than living in a different culture. There's an assimilation that one undergoes. And it seems to be the case that the transition from military to civilian life is quite jarring (for lots of reasons we don't have to address here). I don't think people understand how PTSD (e.g., the constant nightmares and jerking awake to fight for your life, against your kids who stumbled in the bedroom because they are scared of the dark) impacts families. It's silent. And VA doesn't provide sufficient resources to help people cope. It's a serious situation. It's possible to make the transition better for service members and their families. It's also gravely underfunded.

> I see no point in further discussion with you.

OK. Well, if you change your mind, I'm cool with continuing the conversation.
A while ago there was an issue that when replacing a camera on an iphone 12 it would cause the camera to become unresponsive. The problem was later solved with a software update without much fanfare; Backing up the fact that it was a glitch, the problem never occurred on the 12 pro. but yea i definitely hate the serialization, especially considering it looks like their hardware design is becoming more repairable with the 14's back glass becoming removable, it makes their software lockdowns make even less sense.
By "critical-everything" I'm talking about "critical" theories, or "Critical Theory". Aka the lenses people put on that makes them see everything as some sort of struggle due to power structures. A fun thought experiment that's worthy of exploration, but a side quest, not something that should be front and center in a child's education.
There are ethical ways to produce foie gras without force feeding. Anyway no, I don't think animals should suffer but this is beside the point about tobacco. It does line up nicely with my theory that a huge portion of the population enjoys feeling superior to others based on an off-the-rack set of identity politics masquerading as ethics, which hasn't changed much from the religiosity that preceded it.
Ask three people a political question and you’ll get five opinions.
Jesus it's objectively worse. NY/Chicago/London/Paris/Tokyo you can conceivably and easily nip out to a grocer's, bodega, cafe or pub within 10 minutes of where you are. LA?

yes, i'm a big fan of that design too!
I agree with that, but there's always going to be exceptions like 'smart' TVs. I have a Roku-based one, and I accept that whatever service (Disney/Hulu/etc.) I connect to can track what I do on their app, but I don't consent to Roku themselves tracking every click I make, app I'm using, or setting I change. Plenty of people have pointed out this traffic to Roku on their support forums, and AFAIK, they've never come clean as to what, exactly, they track.

Just because I let someone sleep on my couch doesn't mean I accept that they sneak into my bathroom and watch me shower.
I sometimes wonder if Turing picked factorial as the example in his 1949 "Checking a Large Routine"[0] purely at hazard, or possibly as an homage to Leibniz, who was fond of them[1]?

> I wonder how his vector math was?

He was born around the same time as the invention of analytical geometry (i.e. the idea that it is possible to do geometry using algebra), and "vector math" (or linear algebra) came several decades later.

So, his vector math was non-existent.
I don't get it, is your claim that we shouldn't engage in public health interventions until we solve the problem of aging once and for all? I don't think anyone is under the illusion that curing heart attacks will make people live forever. Sure, someone who didn't die of a heart attack at 75 or whatever might have lived until 85 and died from dementia, but living 10 extra years is an improvement that we shouldn't pass up.

I mean, debate is Calvinball, so you could go either way. I've seen people win arguing that a K is too generic/doesn't link to the affirmative team's case, and I've seen the affirmative's response get nailed the same way.

There's also more performance than people admit to, if your responses seem more competent, that goes a long way. A slow talking K that gets responded to by a team speed reading their prebuilt, 20 point "Foucault was a wanker" folder is probably going to lose.
I wonder if the speed/frequency of discourse has soured some of the potentially good ideas that critical theory can put forth.

In college I had a deep interest in critical theory, but I recall most of my time with it spent simply thinking: reflecting on the ideas and critiquing them myself. We didn't exactly debate the ideas, either - it was more akin to collaborative analysis of their strengths and weaknesses.

As you suggest, I think allowing this ebb and flow made the experience a more fruitful one.

Because it’s normalized dark window tint all around over the past few decades. We used to think family cars looked like this rather than the heavily tinted vehicles of today: https://i.insider.com/5e875eba8427e939fb61ffb4?width=1200&fo...

So now individuals get dark tint on windshields and front side windows, which would have really stood out 40 years ago but now is just another dark window in a sea of dark automotive glass. That’s my theory anyhow.

> Yes, but the American views about specifically Hiroshima and Nagasaki seem different from most other countries

I think you mean the current view of non-American generations which have never experienced or are third or four generation of an international conflict like the WWI and/or the WWII? A lot of people died in these conflicts. They were not broadcasted by TikTok, YouTube, and/or Instagram. They where not likes.

I mean, this is an unique event in history in the context of other very unique events at a huge scale. Thinking about a war crime is trying to bring a post rationality to many events that are far from that reductionism.

I think the problem with the town you grew up in is that they didn't build any good modes of transportation and not that they didn't build freeways. Sure freeways can fix the problem of people getting from point A to point B, but they're probably one of the worse ways to go about it. Street cars, bus rapid transit, metros, etc., are all better across the board even for the people who do want to drive because it allows non-drivers to get to point B without a car, thereby clearing up traffic for the drivers.

The sensor quality and the open source nature make a lot of difference there.
For displays I imagine the reason is more reputation and experience - normally just about every apple product has a factory calibrated display, but that promise can be broken (intentionally or not) on the used market. It’s nice to have a means of checking whether a display is legit other than eyeballing it

That being said, I can’t think of a reason for blocking correct pencil functionality. It doesn’t seem like something that would need individual calibration
I don’t think helmets make you any safer on a bike. At least now to a relevant degree.

I remember reading that it actively makes you less safe because people wearing a helmet trust it to protect them, when in reality, basically any collision with a car will crush them.
