In many cases, it's not because you're (the general "you") being "suppressed". It's just that you're tiresome.

A few weeks ago someone was ranting about something (some movie he claimed was being given the woke treatment). I told him that he shouldn't get so worked up about it. In hindsight, his response should've been predictable. "Oh, so I'm not allowed to have an opinion?". I told him it was fine to have an opinion and share it, but that I thought he should just skip watching the movie and not get worked up about creative choices he disagreed with. I wasn't trying to "suppress wrongthink", I just found it very tiresome.

Edit: granted that wasn't about science, but I find the dynamic is often similar.
But Worldcoin isn't doing that. They scan your eyes once and issue you a private key that you can then sell. Maybe one day they can give away scanners CueCat-style but I haven't seen any discussion of that.

I’m not a web or browser developer, the vertical isn’t quite as high as “you need to be working in the web space to understand it.”

There’s a lot to look at in there, but there’s some usual suspects tabs that people look at the majority of the time they have dev tools open. And conversely some tabs that you probably only use in the web dev scene. I’d highly recommend perusing the network and storage tabs, for things like status codes and cookies, respectively. As I mentioned, the vertical is nowhere near as high as you’re saying, you’ll figure it out if you look at it more.
> The experts began by saying "Don't wear masks." The CDC and the Surgeon General told all Americans to stop wearing masks.

Yes. Not because masks didn't work, but because they were in short supply and medical and emergency personnel needed them more. And because the level of transmissibility was underestimated at first.[1]

March 2020, CDC: “Facemasks may be in short supply and they should be saved for caregivers."

April 3, 2020: "After insisting for weeks that healthy people did not need to wear masks in most circumstances, federal health officials change their guidance in response to a growing body of evidence that people who do not appear to be sick are playing an outsize role in the COVID-19 pandemic."

US coronavirus hospitalizations are going up again. There's been a low the last three summers, and then it picks up again.[2] Time to stock up on N-95 masks. Don't bother with anything less.

My point is that it's still the result of human action, it's purposeful and intentional.

Can I ask how you come across these links to such original court document material? I am always wanting to find the source of news reporting of such things, but reporters seemingly can never just quote the original document that contains so much more information than their interpreted regurgitation of it. It's like they don't want us to read the authoritative original.

I think you're not considering the first album with an actual track called Mobius. You're thinking of the opening cut on Orbital II (the brown album). That one is the one where the "where time becomes a loop" becomes fun. The Mobius track is the one where "whatever happens, will happen again" is also included. Sorry, but I will have to deduct Orbital fanboi points, and you will lose your next turn

on the lunatic bin that is sci.physics on usenet there one time was a cooperative effort making a list of topics (in any field) forbidden to research. I much regret not saving a copy. It was insanely long.

I want to say most of it was wrong but who am I to judge? One could say it was all wrong, it was the whole point of the exercise.

The discussion pretended everything was astrology. What is there to fear from researching the relationship between peoples personality and the position of the stars at their birth? Does it enrage you? What if they find something? Would you deny it foaming from the mouth? Based on what?
I didn't downvote you, because I prefer just refuting your argument. I do believe you made the argument in good faith.

But it's completely absurd. Was there a degree of platform moderation to attempt to reduce covid disinformation, or at least label it as such? Yes. But was there anything remotely resembling effective "censorship" that made it at all difficult to reach "eyeballs" with bogus antivaxxer narratives? No. Of course not. The claim is ludicrous on its face. We were all bombarded with BOTH sides throughout the pandemic.

I'm guessing this is following the same / highly similar motivation as rsc's coroutines post about a month ago: https://research.swtch.com/coro

I welcome people embracing function closures more, as I feel they're a drastically under-used language tool (particularly in Go where everyone crams everything into single-func interfaces which are almost exclusively far worse). More exposure to it helps people become comfortable with it, and now that we have generics it's finally not a pile of pain and agony at all times. And just using functions makes it very flexible / doesn't repeat the "X for me but not for thee" issues of past Go versions.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this proposal though. It kinda feels like it's trying to put a round peg into a square hole. If you try hard enough, everything can go in the square hole! But that doesn't mean it's a good fit.
It was a very reasonable decision.

He was under great personal pressure as a result of the actions of the original criminal (US gov pursuing him and canceling passport etc), and had very limited time and resources of his own.

He could have dumped it all on the net, but instead handed it to big name highly resourced journalists, who were definitely aware of the seriousness of what they'd received.

There's two ways people try to discredit Snowden. The first is the government absolutist way, that no-one can wrong the government even to remedy its own far superior wrongs. The second is the backdoor version of the same: to say yes we get why he did it, but to impose a burden of performance that only a superman could attain in the reality of that situation, falling short of which: "he caused more harm than he prevented".

Similarly, tic-tacs are labeled as having 0 grams of sugar even though they are nearly 100% sugar. That is because their chosen serving size is 1 tictac, and 1 tictac is 0.49 g, which is 0.01 g below the limit for reporting.

Is that because they're parsing porcelain output? Or is git's plumbing machine-readable but not well specified?

But git users are more familiar with porcelain so I wouldn't be surprised if they parsed that for an initial implementation.

It sounds like plumbing shouldn't break as often as you imply:

> The interface (input, output, set of options and the semantics) to these low-level commands are meant to be a lot more stable than Porcelain level commands, because these commands are primarily for scripted use.

However, doesn't seem like they're nearly as rigorous as you hope.
Not sure how i feel about “ML” that would likely change over time being used in a VCS. This would make commits or whatever unit of work you want to save at non deterministic. Also as people we still care about file format and likely want to track it. If anything what you are talking about would just be a different view in a VCS that would still want to track file level changes if it was ever adopted.

For what your talking about though I don’t think the fundamental VCS really matters. You can do everything you are talking about with a tool that uses the diff from git.

It’s a bit more than them starting with a random default playbook for serious disease outbreaks. They started with the playbook for this specific virus family! “Covid” is a synonym for SARS-CoV-2. It’s not that surprising that experts would start with the set of procedures that had successfully contained and eliminated SARS-CoV-1. It didn’t work in the case of v2, but I have trouble seeing why it’s a bad starting point to start with what actually worked in practice to stop v1.

It’s sort of interesting to me that the partisan politics on this have flipped from the early days though. Early on, Bill DeBlasio (at the time, NYC’s left-ish mayor) was against cancelling anything or imposing any travel restrictions, even telling people it was racist to avoid Chinese New Year or St Patrick’s Day celebrations, and xenophobic to ask for restrictions on travel. The NY conservative media were very critical of his decisions to let those events move forward and called for travel bans and event cancellations to stop the virus. Fast-forward a bit and they had each adopted the other side’s positions.
I do think this is an apt analogy. I've heard a counterpoint that there won't be enough "destinations" for this to work, but then it's not hard to imagine a single order of magnitude more LLM "destinations" than today (all of which were launched in the last 12 months).

There's also the fact that the data being sent to these LLM "destinations" could be significantly more valuable (or contain significantly more sensitive information) than the average segment identity or track objects.

I have yet to run into a single piece from any mainstream news outlet that deserves my money. I have happily paid for the Financial Times, for example, because they have significantly higher bars set for journalistic integrity. Reuters is another one.

Pardon me if I don't cry that NYT, WaPo, Marketwatch, WSJ, Bloomberg, and all other OpEd-disguised-as-journalism vendors don't get my $0.001 worth of clicks.
> the MBTA hasn’t actually fixed the vulnerabilities they discovered and instead appears to be waiting for an entirely new subway card system that it plans to roll out in 2025 ... This vulnerability will not exist once the new fare collection system goes live, due to the fact that it will be an account-based system versus today’s card-based system.

Seemingly another poorly-designed system ripe for surveillance, with little public outcry. In 2025 it'll be "so easy to check your balance online". In 2030 they'll be selling everything they know about you (including everywhere you go) to the consumer surveillance industry, just as cell companies and DMVs do today. The US desperately needs a port of the GDPR.

Ignoring the appeal to authority, do you do research?

I've yet to meet someone that does and doesn't see scientific institutions as flawed and human with results often driven by interpersonal and political pressures.

What's your expectation of "rigorous university education"? I attended the best University of South America and I rarely see research be conducted to standards I would call rigorous.

[ I personally do think it's extremely important to listen to the "I do my own research" crowd because that's what the scientific process demands. Sadly "science" for the left is like "freedom" for the right, a big fat jingle. ]

What law is that? I'm not familiar with such a law but can't imagine it would even be constitutional. Eg the law Jack Smith indicted trump with recently is about protecting federal/conditional rights.

Yes, the commerce clause is quite expansive and is interpreted expansively, but at the least this would be a first amendment issue and Congress can enforce that and does

I've been in the energy and minerals exploration game for a few decades and I've seen all manner of odd things said with a straight face by all kinds of people.

While I have no a priori knowledge about yourself specifically, I have seen people regularly dismiss notions that minerals and energy get increasingly hard to find and will cost increasingly more to extract.

Peak oil is a specific discussion about oil resources and one that is often dismissed as (not the statement you made) "rubbish, we were supposed to run out, that never happened" etc.

The claim in the nineties was that given demand for oil was ever increasing there would come a time when no ordinary individual would be able to afford oil .. and we do appear to be on that trajectory in the world, even if certain demographics are sheilded from that reality.

Your GP comment misframed that and described that as a common mistake mistake in predicting the future.

What does "my own interests" mean to chat GPT? It doesn't even have continuous existence, it exists only in a query/reply fashion. It doesn't have memory, a body to identify with, emotions, goals, fears, desires, or a notion of action. It can read text and spit text. We're not quite at the "robot starts a machine revolution" stage.
Right and assembling things by hand will probably become a niche hobby like retro computing. For small scale startups assembling things by hand may still even be a valuable skill in some cases.

I pose this question as an industrial mathematics practitioner who does not specialize in graph theory: are there specific classes of problems that are only solvable (or best solved) using graph theory? AFAIK, from computation perspective, graph problems are often recasted into linear algebra, in which you have tools of both analysis and algebra. What are some results from graph theory that engender unique insights?

You are obviously arguing about product, when the post and submitted subject is by my understanding about CPU Design. ARM dont make Cortex CPU to be sold, they sell blueprint and IP only.

In any case I proved that the current design and products are already competing with Apple on single core performance. If you insist that is not the case, that would be arguing AMD and Intel hasn't been competing on CPU design for the past 3 decades.
I don't even see a way to submit an explanation for my edits, let alone a photograph. Mobile only?

Triumph in particular is notorious for this. For most bikes made beyond 2018 or so there are nearly no 3rd party manuals available. You have to pay, quite literally by the page or by the hour, to view the manuals on their website.

For older bikes its often easier. Clymer's has a substantial library that are often better than even the dealer mechanic book. I'm the mechanic among my group of friends and newer bikes are exceedingly difficult to not only work on, but also find proper manuals for.
This is interesting and I will be keeping it in mind. I'm not actively seeking a career change, but the idea of solo outdoor survey-esque work potentially involving cycling is definitely appealing to me and I'm not wedded to what I do.

Most people don’t understand how fast tolerances can stack up during assembly and how complicated any step could be. Oftentimes for complex parts you may need to articulate on 5-6 axis or support in a complex orientation or just shim out existing mismatch. Humans are really cheap compared to robots that could do the same thing.

Multi-Patterning EUV vs. High-NA EUV (2019)
Yeah, I like doing this too. Not _always_, but for a few things. I use it to emulate partial functions.

In a show hosting/ticket booking app for example, I never want in any case user facing search/by-id endpoints to serve a show from 2 months ago. So I create a view `select * from shows where time > now`. I can now use this as a 'table' and apply more filters and joins to this if I wish.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a truly great game. It’s interesting to discuss how that may or may not be replicated. Still, we’ve been going through years of mediocre cash grab after mediocre cash grab. So many beloved franchises have been basically ruined by monetization, and developers that either don’t care, or don’t have the freedom to care.

Knowing what gamers want isn’t hard. They want games that don’t suck. You might try to build something great, and only end up with something good. But if your only real passion is making money, then the games you make will never be “good” no matter how much money they make.

Because we tend to do this at the expense of every other living thing. It’s also very presumptuous.
I think it’s a hilarious concept.
Yeah. China is full of make-work programs. It's obvious.

For example, every Chinese city has sidewalks made, not of poured concrete, but rather 30 cm x 30 cm ceramic tiles. Due to historic city planning, the Chinese tend to park their cars on the sidewalks, which inevitably breaks the tiles, thus causing regular replacement. These tiles are laid not by some sort of brick laying machine, but rather by hand.

The sidewalk by my house was poured in 1968. I know that, because there's a date stamped in it. A couple of blocks over there's a sidewalk that someone scrawled graffiti into. "Elton John 75". There's literally nothing wrong with either of these sidewalks. They're not cracked, nor buckled.

China doesn't need to replace every sidewalk every two or three years, but they choose to.
