A good place to start would be with this text on Rothbard’s leftism, which connects ideas you may already familiar regarding libertarianism with leftism: https://cdn.mises.org/19_1_2.pdf

However the roots go much deeper. Nozick himself was advancing the progressive tradition. One way to understand it is to start by considering how the state was the tool leftist had used through the 19th century to advance individual human rights. Once the state had become totalizing in the way all modern capitalist countries are today, the only way forward to advance human rights further must involve the dissolution of the state since oppression is no longer caused by traditional social mores but rather by the system that replaced those. That’s why you often see weird alliances between rightists and libertarians: the few remnants of reactionary resistance against the state allied with what is at core a radical progressive movement. Leftists are a more natural ally with libertarians but cannot support libertarians as leftist power flows from state authority.

There’s also a more specific history of libertarian plus leftist conference and other collaborations but I’m not knowledgeable on the details, merely that the info is there if you search for it.

Qualcomm is selling performance. Performance is a combination of the hardware and the tubing that developers do to make their products perform well on the hardware.

Sorry, this reads as resentment that Trump won and that Wikileaks played a part by putting up Podesta's emails. That is the one instance I've heard of Russian intelligence supposedly funneling data through them, posing as Guccifer, with a specific goal in mind.

Yeap. The VA commissioned Dean Kamen to build the Luke Arm, a practical prosthetic arm for disabled vets. It took years, million$, determination, and extensive testing to achieve. Not impossible, but it's not something that can be thrown together in a weekend hackathon.

Ten years ago when DB engines were not as good and servers were not as large, I did something similar -- set up a trigger on insert/updates to certain relations that auto updates the main record with a cache column. Back then it was comma separated, but today I would obviously use JSONB. Back then it reduced latency significantly. Today, I would probably not attempt it.

Wonder what the overlap is between the lab leak people and the people that were shitting on expert opinion that the LK99 authors looked kinda like amateurs.
That kind of suffers if you want to be able to cheaply cancel the iteration.

Lets say the logic is:

for item := range list {
if condition(item) {
break
}
}

That is nice and readable, but if the thing your iterating is returning items in a batch then this gets far, far uglier. Its possible to end up with one loop that fetches x items at a time, and another that iterates over those items.. etc. But if you switch that to channels you maintain the readability and everything is nice! .. Except, you need a way to cancel the iteration, and it can't be closing the channel or the writer will panic.

items, cancelFunc := apiCall()
for item := range items {
if condition(items) {
cancelFunc()
for _ := range items { }
break
}
}
close(items)

Now, this is even worse if you need some kind of finalization of the goroutine that spawns to write to the given channel. Now you have a wait group, or a second channel.. etc. If its possible to error in the middle of iteration then things get complicated as well.
Maybe they could hire all these movie extras who will soon be replaced by AI generated alter egos and be out of work?

> Nobody is forced to listen

This is an overly reductive take on how social media would work with no moderation (no censorship). Recommendations that show up on my Home timeline aren't all voluntary, I'm often reading things that I would prefer not to read. I don't have complete power to curate my feed. What a lot of people want is not more censorship per se, it's for this recommendation system to be changed in order to deemphasize polarizing and toxic content and promote less polarizing content. Basically, many of us want to alter the social dynamics (which were arbitrarily chosen in the first place) in a healthy direction, rather than ratchet up the censorship.

> but you can absolutely demand a neutral channel where people who want to listen can go to listen to you

Rumble exists, so even if they were censored on Youtube, they still have a "neutral channel where people who want to listen can go to listen".

> What you really want, instead, is that nobody should be able to listen to the speech you don't like because you're afraid that other people might decide they like it.

Pretty much yes, but this is a euphemistic/strawman take on the fears of those you're arguing against. I am indeed "afraid" that people will "decide they like" extremist content, thereby becoming radicalized and committing a terrorist attack or voting in someone far worse than Trump. It's not them liking the content that I'm afraid of. It's the secondary consequences of that liking. I want to stop those consequences from happening. Ultimately, the objective is to protect our freedoms, even if it means sacrificing a little freedom (of speech) in the here and now.

Is there a lot of suppression corruption in big cities? I was under the impression that it's mostly embezzlement and theft. San Francisco, for instance, is solidly in the hands of unbelievably corrupt people (one of the supervisors here, Peskin, pulled off a bunch of shady shit - which makes me think the others are too), but I was under the impression 1A stuff was safe.

Still, I suppose there was all the stuff about Jeff Adachi and what the cops did to the journalists there, so I suppose your point is sound.

I would probably just do the following:

type Iterator[T any] interface {
HasNext() bool
GetNext() T
}

And then use it like:

for i.HasNext() {
current := i.GetNext()
// do things here
}

It's an extra line, sure, but it's pretty obvious what's going on.

Data is often stored in structures which are based on graphs. And searching within these data structures does not nicely reduce to linear algebra. For instance, I don't think there is any nice way of reducing binary search to linear algebra.
Not arguing against your point (I do agree with it!), just mentioning that there being this technicality is reasonable for a generic case even in countries where it would be out of the ordinary not to have them.

Edit: I could have said it simpler above :)
I disagree. Merge conflicts are just a fact of life, and line-granularity has good usability properties (displaying and editing). `git` has issues, but I don't see merge conflict granularity being an issue, especially when project enforce consistent&automatic formatting.

I agree however that while Pijul is technically very interesting, it doesn't seem to have any killer features that would overcome the cost of switching to a niche version control.
Face recognition tech that discriminates against black people is pretty widespread for one.

But even LLMs essentially regurgitate content created by human artists and writers. The decline of stackoverflow might seem like "market force" decision. But AIs are trained on stackoverflow, if people stop contributing there (because of AI) the AI will become dumber since the training material will be outdated and information will become siloed.
It’s because meetings and full calendars of check ins and touch bases is constant and actually is the productive work for an executive. They are the ones wanting productivity for themselves. The byproduct of this executive productivity is it causes the busy work for the people who are lower in the org chart. Busywork for them is a big source of their nonproductive time and what was freed up during mandatory WFH generating the productivity boost.

Then what happened was a lot of the pending and backlog of projects and busyness got moved over to a completed status. But the lack of productivity at the executive levels meant that the project funnel wasn’t keeping up. So the company was at risk of having a ton of people with not enough to do.

This is purely my personal anthropological perspective of the situation having been an active participant working closely with executives making these decisions the past few years as well as talking with colleagues that do the same. I’m aware it’s probably completely BS.

I remember that there was violence against asian-americans during the first two years of the C-19 pandemic.

This is the question I thought about all evening before I fell asleep. I have two ways to answer it.

1. Let's take the well-known Feline and Canine. All my friends who spend a lot of time with animals will call dogs smarter than cats, but why?
Dogs have a more developed communication system: they have more varieties of barking than cats have varieties of meowing. Dogs are playful, they know how to smile, they know how to feel guilty and actively show it, they are capable of paired activities under the supervision of a person. From what most of dogs can't, cats can only chase prey without visual or odor contact, purely by sound (but polar foxes can do even this).
Conclusion - the level of communication correlates with the level of intelligence.

2. Let's take the most primitive organism, the prokaryote (sorry for not naming some precise specie, let's consider some abstract prokaryote with the requirement to be the simplest). Google tells us:
> All organisms, from the prokaryotes to the most complex eukaryotes can sense and respond to environmental stimuli.

But also Wikipedia tells us that prokaryotes are able to interchange some information using DNA:
> These are (1) bacterial virus (bacteriophage)-mediated transduction, (2) plasmid-mediated conjugation, and (3) natural transformation.

These two examples make me confident in the opinion that communication and cognition are two different words for describing the same idea from two different points of view.
Honestly I would just prefer an interface that can be implemented (not this interface.. one like it that is better thought out).

type Iterator interface{} {
// Returns the next object and true, or nil and false if iteration has ended.
func NextIteration() (interface{}, bool)
}

Even better (in my opinion) if it also adds a finalizer function to help clean up resources used during iteration and some kind of error handling.. but that might be asking too much given my track record of getting golang improvements approved. I still want else on for statements dang it! =)
Haha, this was one of the projects I funded on Kickstarter. Great success. The Enhanced Edition is a fantastic game. And the second game is great too! I loved it. Can't wait to play Baldur's Gate.

The best part about this is that they're one of the few developers who are making co-op games. I really appreciate that since I can play with a friend on the couch.
Looks like one needs to be twitter troll to qualify. Too much work...
Wait, so you return `false` to terminate the iterator? Stupid!! Now I can’t have an iterator that returns Booleans.

UPDATE: I misread the article. This isn’t what happens. My bad.

Honestly, I feel like Go focuses so much on superficial simplicity that you wind up with bad/leaky abstractions all over the place as well as bad primitive obsession.

You've misunderstood the article that you linked. Scientists found SARS-1 in civet cats and raccoon dogs within about a year of the first human outbreaks. We believe these are the animals that first transmitted SARS-1 to humans.

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5241a2.htm

Much later, Dr. Zhengli Shi found viruses related to SARS-1 in bats. These bat viruses are more distant genetically from the human samples than the civet and racoon dog viruses were; but they're significant because of the prevalence and diversity of such viruses. This suggests that SARS-1 evolved mostly in bats (the reservoir hosts), then spilled to civets and racoon dogs (the proximal hosts) and evolved a little more, then spilled to humans.

SARS-CoV-2 is close enough genetically to SARS-1 that we knew immediately that the reservoir host was bats. The proximal host still hasn't been found, despite the much greater effort to search. This doesn't mean SARS-CoV-2 is necessarily unnatural, since the exact zoonotic transmission path is still unknown for other viruses that are certainly of natural origin (e.g. Ebola). It's different from both SARS-1 and MERS, though.
W7-X is a new stellarator design. It’s magnet arrangement was optimized using a lot of compute time and is designed to overcome the faults of previous more naive designs.
"Crackpot" in your situation is factually correct.

I took the vaccine knowing the risks, I don't know why someone should be humiliated as a "crackpot" for voicing those concerns.
What was the point of your question, then?

Why ask something akin to "why does anyone ever even try to audit stuff, tho?" What's with the stark epistemological nihilism?

Why do you even respond if you won't actually address any of the questions? How is that not exactly the bad faith argument style you imply I make?
Which mental illness are you speculating that he has? I listened to and read a lot of his words in the months leading up to the FTX collapse and he came across as sharp as a tack and not unstable.
just a counter-point, if it is at all; I grew up in SoCal with poured sidewalks around the entire area. Nearly every single one of them was destroyed by nearby trees or shrubbery extending their roots under the thing and cracked it up into a million pedestrian-tripping pieces.

These sidewalks were from the 60s and 70s too -- thing is that they cracked 20-30 years ago and no one ever bothered to replace. The home owners i've spoken to that wish they could were confronted with the aspect of being forced to pay for their entire street lest they wish to pull permits to repair their small section.

So you have this new problem with a liability tug-of-war between well-wishing civillians against the cost-saving municipalities, and to be clear this was more than one single municipality, i've seen it across SoCal.

So, what i'm trying to get across is that there is a middle ground between 'needless replacement for the sake of generating work' and 'neglect', and neither China or the US has seemed to pin that middle down yet : but that needless replacement regime sure sounds nice as a pedestrian that just wants to use the goddamn sidewalk. I've seen busy-work before, that just doesn't strike me as that.

Aside from lack of demand, there are some significant technical reasons that contribute to 8TB M.2 drives being expensive niche products, both stemming from the fact that 8TB of flash is still a lot of chips: PC OEMs prefer M.2 SSDs that are single-sided because many thin laptop designs require that, and many low-end SSD controllers literally don't have the pin count necessary to interface with that many flash chips.
