On one hand I get your point, but there's a pragmatic element to this that doesn't actually make sense. If I wanted to just find new and creative ways of being a racist, there's a million and one ways I could do that on the internet.

Actually looking for a somewhat exhaustive list of racist phrases has very minimal utility when it comes to "being racist" and a fairly large amount of utility in regards to preventing people from being racist.
> How is that giving medical advice? that's a mission statement.

As a mission statement for a software project, it very clearly indicates an intent to have the software act as a doctor.

> If my mission statement is to provide everyone with a private lawyer, then is that giving lawful advice?

If you have a software project with that as your mission statement, then its a pretty good indication you are aiming at unlicensed practice of law (which involves “legal advice” but exactly not, despite “legal” and “lawful” in other circumstances being synonymous, “lawful advice”.)

It doesn't have user IDs... seems like an odd selling point... if you have good end to end encryption who cares if you have user IDs? I imagine you could do network analysis and so on to try an determine a network of people to deanonymize... but if you have encrypted chats, you have no context... unless guilt by association is enough.

On the other hand, a bigger problem than IDs would probably be IP addresses, etc. Random IDs per-conversation would also go a long way.
Looking over the incidents in the last few months, it's pretty clear that Waymo is significantly better than Cruise in tech - Cruise has a lot of things to fix and they clearly rushed it but have good PR team to sell it well and make it seem like Waymo and Cruise are in the same bucket.

If I were Waymo, I'd start doing the best I can to distance myself from Cruise - I think it's unfair for any city regulations that'll come after things like this to effect Waymo which is doing much better but is in the 'AV' category with Cruise.

Look at this hilarious video where a Cruise is stuck in the middle of the road and a Waymo passes by it, imo better than what other human drivers did: https://www.tiktok.com/@highwithlo/video/7266311787237362990
Listen to the audio; small things like this can significantly skew public opinion/belief.

Edit: More evidence - checkout Cruise twitter account reply history; most of the replies are Cruise justifying why they fucked up or hyping up their approvals and numbers. Look at Waymo's history, there is barely any mention of an incident (I'm making a fair assumption that both companies have a similar PR strategy of responding to popular tweets with incidents involving their vehicles).

LGBTQ is a marketing category. Netflix wants to know which marketing categories you belong to. So it conducts experiments, feeding you types of content and seeing what you react to. Having determined the correct marketing category, it feeds you more content from that category.
P4 feels like it's in a rough spot, where it's heavily used, but almost entirely by a couple gigantic companies. And many of these can make their own chip.

So the market for merchant silicon here seems super weak. Intel bowed out, for example.

And without available competitive hardware, there won't be means for people to get interested.

I really hope the open networking world can have a bit of a re-revival but the hardware situation feels semi scary right now.

This talk is from Oxide, whose using Intel's last chip. It's a team I trust to do good things with p4 & look forward to seeing what they've done & what they have to say. Fingers crossed for p4.
The African Americans I've known are very in tune to race issues. And the poll question comes off as a racist dog whistle, like an extreme form of "all lives matter".

I tend to just override nixpkgs downstream.
I think the situation you are describing is more power-user.

Flakes to me introduced a lot of overhead beyond what niv can provide.

The steroids thing is a great example that shows that “we” don’t know things. Even when the information is out there some don’t have access to it and some don’t believe it. For every pro bodybuilder or shredded Hollywood actor using steroids (many, to put it lightly), there are tons of people following their routines and diets, thinking it will lead to similar results. Not all that much research and critical thinking will show that that’s not going to happen.

This isn’t really an answer to your question, but the bummer is that even someone like the people you listed telling the truth isn’t enough. Shit, tons of people still believe the thing about carrots.
My impression around here (southern Ontario) is that when this happens (high e.coli counts after heavy rain) this is mostly due to runoff from farms and from seagull, goose etc feces, not human sewer overflows. Areas with high waterfowl populations are the worst for it.
Ah, do you have a link to the paper?
You can still `nix run` packages using niv -- no clue what you talking about.

You can also just look at the niv sources.json file pretty easily if you knew the URL. Rather trivial command to run.

First off, ty for running all these benchmarks, above and beyond!

FWIW, I don’t think joins are bad, I’m 100% for normalized DB schemas with joins. But I’ve done tonnes of performance work over the past ~10 years, and run into a bunch of real world cases where, when caches are cold (which does happen frequently with large datasets and limited budgets), queries similar to the above (join two tables, read a page of data, sorting on one table and filtering on the other) take 10s of seconds, sometimes even minutes with very large datasets. In those cases, the only solution has been to denormalize so we can create a compound index, with filter key(s) as the prefix, sort key as the suffix, which makes the query consistently fast. I am not at all suggesting this as the default, better to default to normalized with joins, and only do this for these specific cases. Generally a company just has one or a few cases where this is necessary, can just do the ugly denormalization + compound indexes for these few hot spots. But when ppl say “joins are slow”, these cases are examples of where it’s true.

Re: your above 17 second query, if you do something like adding fields to the user table for primary and secondary contact method (denormalizing), and then create a compound index with the necessary filter keys first, and the sort key second, I think you’ll find the query (which no longer needs a join) is quite fast even if caches are ice cold.
> I can't fathom the desire to be a virtuoso programmer - it would be like being a virtuoso widget assembler.

Only if all the programming you do is assembling widgets, which given your tone might be the case. For some it is a form of art, just like a paintbrush or a musical instrument.

Imagine if we were in a bizarro world where you go to violin university not because you like it, but because it's a good career that pays well; after 20 years doing 40 h/wk playing the violin for a nameless Big Orchestra playing day in day out what is frankly trite crap for pointy haired composers, you'd find it very hard to imagine a world where people play the violin for fun.

I sense a LOT of hostility on your part against me defending what is just, simply a tool, because Big Orchestra has killed your creativity and imagination. Again, it is not the tool's fault. Nor am I fighting for the world to adopt this tool as you claim. It's not a tool that meshes well with pointy haired bosses, and sadly they rule the world.

In any case I'm not a "lisper", which seems to be a convenient category to put people in so they can be berated by your enormous frustration. I doubt all this rage comes because of deep seated trauma with S-expressions themselves. Glancing at your recent comment history, it sounds like you might need a holiday, Internet stranger.
right of millions of "unsophisticated" users to not be scammed / abused by malware - but who even said this will lead to millions being scammed? Does (just) the ability to create a server on pc/mac imply are less secure compared to phones?(the question is just for this ability, not other protection mechanisms). Also, why just not treat it like option to sideload apps in android? Imo that option is orders of magnitude 'more dangerous' compared to creating a server but still that option can be used without the root and without breaking the warranty.
I could see this being useful for graphical layout.
> It was not eliminated in any country, at any time during the pandemic, the claim is entirely false.

You're just wrong in this claim. For example, New Zealand completely eliminated the virus in early 2020 and went for over 100 days with zero local cases, from 10 May until 11 August 2020. That's when a new cluster was discovered - genetic sequencing of the viral genome showed that it was imported from abroad.[0]

I suspect that the mistake you're making is that you're looking at aggregated case numbers, which include cases caught inside border quarantine (you can see an example in this report: [1]), and confusing them with local cases (compare with this report: [2]).

> Everyone in the medical and public health field was trying to prevent mass casualties and complete collapse of the healthcare system to the best of their ability using the knowledge they had. Not being able to discredit random morons commenting on the situation with absolutely no expertise is an insane take.

In the pandemic, those in charge were asserting that Covid was a virus with a droplet based spread (like the flu) and were shutting down domain experts who asserted that Covid was a virus that was fully airborne (like the measles).

> Aerosol researchers started warning that "the world should face the reality" of airborne transmission in April 2020. Then in June, some claimed that it was "the dominant route for the spread of COVID-19".

In July, 239 scientists signed an open letter appealing to the medical community and governing bodies to recognize the potential risk of airborne transmission.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jvchamary/2021/05/04/who-corona...

Because they were only willing to accept a theory that was incorrect and ignored domain experts, those in charge were pushing mitigations that could never be effective against a virus you caught by breathing.

No amount of hand washing, wiping down surfaces, putting up sneeze guards, or staying six feet apart can possibly protect you from breathing in a virus that floats in the air.

This was the biggest failure of the pandemic, and it took two years for the truth to start being begrudgingly accepted.

Yes, "legal" was the word I was looking for!

> As a mission statement for a software project, it very clearly indicates an intent to have the software act as a doctor.

I do understand that interpretation. However, the mission statement seems vague enough since there are many ways to achieve that said mission statement. Not saying it's good as it currently is, but trying to understand how that mission statement equated to giving medical advice.

Let's say that intent is true, is the intent the same as actually providing the medical/legal advice in this case?
I agree with this. I will also add, being gay myself;

1. The television you dedicate time to watch will often (if given long enough) reflect the general values and interests you hold. It's not hard to imagine Netflix doing this with even more subtle details or personal traits.

2. Their example is extremely vague and generic:

> Spotify suggested a playlist it described as "sapphic" - a word to describe women who love women.

> After a couple of months on TikTok, I started seeing videos on my feed from bisexual creators.

> A few months later, I came to the separate realisation that I myself was bisexual.

It's an interesting story, but... not difficult to imagine? There is a sizable percentage of modern media that features queer characters or aspects. It makes sense that over the course of a few months, you could encounter that media and eventually come to a realization about your own sexuality and experiences.

It's kinda a nothingburger story. "Dear Penthouse, I never thought it would happen to me..."
> run games in almost native performance in windows guest vm?

No, vfio is still the most recommended option.

This is essentially something like VirtualBox or VMWare 3D acceleration - the host is still the "owner" of the GPU, and has to juggle receiving OpenGL commands from the guest and sending the render results back to it, with lots of overhead. But easier for users than setting up passthrough or using proprietary GPU virtualization solutions.

People pointed out that there is a similar project for Vulkan, already being used in production for ChromeOS, called Venus. Should be the one to watch nowadays.

>> on a corpus of ... abstracts

Wait a minute. Isn't the abstract the summary? I've read accounts of people digging through a paper and seeing impossible, obviously fabricated numbers. I don't think those types of issues would surface in an abstract.
not quite the same thing. piecing together parts with individual equations, like a mosaic, not the same as modeling the whole thing with a set of huge parametric equations
That would be far more impressive if true. The equations while having a number of magic numbers also don't have that many parameters, so it would seem difficult to find such equations to fit well to images.
So I spent too much time benchmarking:

| Entries | gcc | gcc+pref. | clang | clang+pref. | clang -cmov | clang -cmov+pref. |
|---------|-----|-----------|-------|-------------|-------------|-------------------|
| 0.5 | 210 | 88 | 213 | 191 | 109 | 93 |
| 1.0 | 231 | 107 | 235 | 211 | 134 | 112 |
| 2.0 | 289 | 168 | 306 | 275 | 231 | 179 |
| 5.0 | 369 | 231 | 389 | 343 | 338 | 239 |
| 10 | 413 | 268 | 437 | 384 | 410 | 276 |
| 25 | 469 | 311 | 490 | 435 | 506 | 318 |
| 50 | 515 | 346 | 537 | 478 | 586 | 356 |
| 100 | 564 | 387 | 588 | 522 | 670 | 399 |

Entries are in millions and times in ns per bsearch call. Prefetching does all the difference, but perhaps not for the right reason. On my machine (broadwell) the two prefetches that you suggested makes gcc emit the cmovb that clang with -cmov uses. The second one is enough to make it prefer cmovb but not the first one. Maybe a hand-hacked assembly loop based on the code gcc emits but without the prefetches would run even faster.

But this issue is minuscule compared to allowing running unverified apps... a thing that's allowed in most android phones a button away without the need to break warranty. What's more funny, looks like ios soon will allow this too. So phones are already offering the option to run unverified code, user should just allow it and accept the risks prompt. Why not treat the server thing (which imo is much less dangerous) just the same way?

> they can still fail

>> Of course. I never wrote otherwise.

I did not mean to imply that you did (:

You touched on a general topic, and I was speaking to that, more than your specific words.

> successful people ... blamed themselves for the failures

I'm sure that's true. But I'm trying to draw a thin, wiggly line between awareness of room for improvement (usually more on a rational level), and blame/judgement (usually more on an emotional level). The former is great, the latter not so much.

I'd wager that there are also a whole lot of un-successful people who blamed themselves for their failures, even if they could do no better.
People who hate themselves. People who are unhappy. My commentary is more directed at those people and those who would care about them, than the ones you mention.

> taking responsibility ... you can succeed by learning

This definitely straddles the wiggly line (:
One one side is "taking responsibility," and on the other is "it's your fault."

Certainly one should internalize the lesson. But hopefully not the shame/blame. Perhaps neither you nor your successful acquaintences suffer from this affliction, but in my experience many do.

I realize that some people are lazy and looking for excuses to escape responsibility, so perhaps you see my viewpoint as somehow enabling or encouraging that bad behavior. I just want to point out that there are downsides in the other direction too, if taken to puritanical extremes. And I daresay the "being lazy is bad" side of the argument gets a whole lot more headspace in our culture than the "it's okay, there's nothing wrong with you" side. Hence my attempt to bring some balance.

> You could consider it like airliners ...

> ride a bike the first time ...

The thing about airlines is that they operate in a very carefully crafted environment. Planes stay away from each other, are generally aware of each other (notwithstanding that friggin' biplane without a radio that cut me off on downwind... grr), have high maintenance standards, etc. etc. Real life can be much more dense/messy/fast-moving/full of unknowns, I find. You do not always get the luxury of knowing the variables involved.

But the problem with both of your examples is that they assume you can learn and try again. And that's not always the case.

What if you're a passenger on one of those airliners that crashes? What should you have done better, personally?

Born in a poor country? Sorry, no re-try.

Born with a damaged brain or body? Sorry, no re-try.

Have abusive parents? Maybe a few can pull themselves out (probably mostly by luck or the help of others), but it will have lifelong effects.

You get the idea. And those examples are extreme; there are myriad other "softer" struggles people have, with varying levels of control. Depression comes to mind.

So, in conclusion, my whole long-winded reply is just trying to say: sometimes people (like you) express the "you have nobody to blame but yourself" attitude, with good intentions, directed at the sort of enabled people you were talking about, but it gets applied to other people, with heart-wrenching effects.
> The California Public Utilities Commission on Thursday voted to lift all restrictions for Cruise and Waymo’s full commercialization in the city amid vocal opposition from city officials.

Why do the state's removal of restrictions override the city's? Surely if the city officials had objections they can just impose their own restrictions within city limits?
