> We can't have progress if we don't get over this inane sentimentality(?) over how accidents, deaths, and dismemberments are just 'how things are' so long as they are caused by people and 'Safety of the traveling public is the California DMV’s top priority[0]' when a robot does it.

That sure does sound like the way to have progress.

Blockchain and self-driving seem to be the only digital domains where adherents argue for lowering our standards for the technology being offered-- typically in pursuit of some unspecified improvement at an unspecified future date.

It's actually difficult to come up with an analogy in any other domain. Perhaps if VR hardware had some inane limitation that required users to always walk the entire physically analogous distance to move around in the virtual world. And when a user complains about not being able to teleport to different areas, VR adherents push back that the VR world is no worse than the physical world in this sense.
Gorbachev is quoted as saying that Chernobyl was the beginning of the end of the USSR.

Nobody likes to talk about that stuff. Ideologues most of all.
The use-case is concerned with is multi-user, most likely remote login, sometimes desktop login. He whines about everyone not having root and breaking the box. Too bad. If you don't like the isolation and privilege separation a system provides, use virtualization, containers, run your own, or change the OS to allow your specialness that doesn't affect other users.

It's not wheel's fault, and so substituting root group for wheel was nothing more than a special snowflake move by someone who thought the sysadmins were holding back and the "enemy".
This seems like a non-sequitur. Can you please just speak plainly instead of having me try to interpret your vagueposting?

I'm out of the loop (I tried 2007scape but don't play it enough to be in the know). Is it because some other faster way of leveling Runecrafting has become available?
For the unimaginative, can see at least 3 potential use cases:

* Companion to elderly or infirm who wish to have a pet but cannot physically take care of one

> Deception, misdirection, sabotage, these are all crucial elements in every war.

If the Ukrainians tampered with the sensors, the Russians undoubtedly knew about it. In such a scenario, the deception and misdirection are aimed at the rest of the world. If that is the case, there are much more similar manipulations taking place.
>RISC-V is not going to be offered in any commercial grade product anytime soon.

That sentence isn't gonna age well.

>That was my point. It is slower than a RPI4, which is already too slow to use for anything serious.

I am still using my RPi1, but I guess my uses would not meet this arbitrary "something serious" tablet requirement.

Joking aside, the RPi4 is actually very fast, and its shortcomings are elsewhere than the CPU.

E.g. its GPU is grossly inadequate. Its video codec block can't encode. It lacks cryptography acceleration, so LUKS and SSL need to be done in the cpu with non-specialized instructions.

These are issues JH7110 does not have. The experience is much better with JH7110.

>The point I was trying to make, it that the other alternative, ARM, is also not suitable for StarLite's mission due to the closed blobs.

Ah. They buy the FSF nonsense where closed blobs need to be burned into a ROM for the machine to quality as "open".

Unfortunate, but I understand.

RISC-V is inevitable.
Absolutely it can. But it's rarer than you think.
Sure, you can always cherry-pick someone from a remote village so this can't be literally "everybody", but it's absurd to claim that the majority of the population doesn't know about Chernobyl. It was a very hot topic in Russia for a long time, and in the 90s the government lost control over the information space of the country so the information about Chernobyl was spreading freely. The younger generations can learn about the topic from either their parents, or from pop culture things like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and even HBO's miniseries (freely available on Russian torrent trackers that are quite popular).

Also Greenpeace investigated, so they are not a credible source after all the lobying and protests they did in Germany and which closed down nuclear power stations.

To be clear, the copyright strike is for a small two second animation in the middle of a much larger video.

The correct course of action here is for Mr Beast to apologize to the animation owner (AO) and to reupload the video with the animation removed. Or, to license the animation.

YouTube should then lift demonization.

AO didn't suffer any damage so there's no compensation owed. Legally, AO might be able to chase this but the payout will likely be far less than the court costs.

Mr Beast seems to be a pretty upstanding guy, so I wouldn't be surprised if he licensed the animation for a generous price.

Ultimately, it was the editor who messed up so the Mr Beast team need to review their processes.

Sure, overall you’re going to have a better experience if you can just roll with whatever happens and enjoy it (true in life and cinema).

I think that at some level, when I’m consuming fiction, in the back of my head I’m learning the “rules” of that media. That creates a set of expectations about the boundaries of what can happen. Done well, a work can make a powerful impression by breaking the rules. That only works if the audience is aware of the rules in the first place.

A lot of movies go for verisimilitude. They’re trying to look and feel real, which can make the audience identify more with the characters. When you see a movie that does a lot of things right, it can be jarring when it gets something wrong. Suddenly you might be thinking - they could afford a hundred stylists, take over city streets to film, but they couldn’t get a plumber? It can take you out of the movie. The filmmaker doesn’t want to break the rules by accident.

There's just no coherent proposal to fix it.

Even the shareholders of some of these firms think the executives are robbing them with the compensation they've set (see ongoing Tesla lawsuits, for example). But, they can't come up with a clear rule for what "appropriate" pay is.

I suspect we'll hit a point where the pay is so excessive that it's worth buying companies purely to cut the pay of management, as it'll be the easiest way to improve profitability.
This is the company that every dictator wants to have which can literally control the world if it wanted.

It has so many of the electronics under its hostage, no one can make

Yet, still being a respected company is marvelous. Imagine how crap the world becomes if it comes under Chinese or Russian control.
Perhaps not among themselves but, at least in the community I'm familiar with, there was noticeable griefing against openly non-Japanese players attempting to play on Japanese-specific server shards.

I disagree strongly.

Americans only care about moving up that ladder themselves and keeping others below them.

Here’s examples..

1. Universal healthcare was proposed as early as 1912, but overwhelmingly white Americans at the time didn’t want to cover minorities. This was backed by insurers and the work of Frederick Hoffman, the head of American Statistical Association at the time. Nothing has changed on the universal healthcare issue since that time.

3. Americans obviously don’t care about gun violence. Since the sunsetting of the Federal Assault Weapons Bans, mass shootings (overwhelmingly committed by AR15) have skyrocketed with no end in sight.

4. 58% of Republicans believe the US country should prioritize expanding exploration and production of oil, coal and natural gas. As an example, China outspent the US almost to 5:1 in transitioning to low carbon energy production in 2023.

5. Americans don’t care about income inequality. Improving public school education is the best way to improve outcomes for poor people but state legislatures have been defunding public schools since desegregation.

The assembly example isn't a good comparison. We have compilers that can generate a lot of assembly tricks most programmers wouldn't write. We don't have a way compiler that can analyze the logical constraints of a programming problem and simplify the data structures in the library.

> Generic code has proven itself time and time again, even Go caved in and supported it.

I'm not saying anything against the language feature generics. There is plenty of use for them even in a self contained code base.
Compiling stuff yourself is generally much harder than one might want it to be be. The instructions might or might not actually work unless you're on a source based distro. It also might take hours. Or days, but the stuff that's big enough to take days generally works out of the box.

Windows has IPC, but doesn't have as heavy of an influence from the Unix philosophy, and Android seems to have even less. More stuff is just built into the OS, it's always going to be there, probably for 20 years.
The PRC and its people view Taiwan as part of China. It would be viewed by many as an invasion of China and clear interference with its sovereignty.

If the U.S. dares to integrate its sensor, software, and shooter capabilities with Taiwan it should expect a forceful response from the PRC.
How about Semipalatinsk in Kazakhstan? Atomic Lake? Hundreds of nuclear weapons tested all over the steppe - and open to the public. If you were an American soldier deployed there would you have a single clue you shouldn’t be digging near Opytnoe Pole? Or avoid catching fish from Lake Chagan?

Or a Russian soldier deployed at the Nevada test site?

I think not knowing is quite plausible.
Surprising hostility here. It’s a toy. It doesn’t need to have any value. Concerns about it snooping on you would have been valid if all of us weren’t trotting around with multiple spying devices on our person already.
That's pretty much what's been happening for the last decade. I turned off search history an age ago and I've had a slightly tailored (based on subscriptions) but mostly generic home page since them.

It's not a cas where they can't. They decide on this course of action.

On a related note, they already show an (almost) totally generic feed for Shorts. If you turn search history off, you see a lot of Andrew Tate, anti-trans, and "masculinity is under attack" messaging. It's disgusting to think that's what Google are showing to new sign users.
It's completely copium. It's kind of dumb. Already the biggest in the world a few years ago by some metrics, but in GDP terms maybe 10 - 15 years. But the strange thing is that still so much room to grow beyond that. 5 to 6x times as many people as US, to achieve a comparable standard of living to US would produce a truly enormous economy.

I don't think China should be "world ruler" by any means (they're not ready and not international enough, and that Chinese culture is not respecting of other people enough at all, and that's not OK, but we can't expect them to develop themselves too quickly because they have a lot on their plate) but I think people should want China to be successful. To want them to be a giant failure is just dumb.

And smart people will be learning from China right now, not drinking copium while being a pendejo over China-crash-porn. It's all so ridiculous and sad. How can you say you're from "the best/ better" system if that's your reaction to a new contender? It makes you look like a bitter loser. Ugh...

Granted there will be downvotes to espousing this correct view, so part of the problem is people in the West need to work through their anger/fear issues on China before they can see it clearly. We're not there yet. And we can't hope to really compete until we can see it clearly, so...get to work people, do the inner work to have some clear sight!!

You are too optimistic about Russian education system in poor regions.

Even ignoring tons of corruption and the fact that many teenagers are skipping school to do house/agriculture/other work, consider the fact that those schools are severely underfunded and good teachers migrated long time ago for a better life to bigger cities and even if they have internet, that doesn't meen the information they consume is educational type. I've seen some similar regions when I've visited Russia when I was in school and it looked depressing and I've only visited a bit of west part. The eastern russia is has much bigger problems in this regard, aside mybe from big cities.

And that's just abt education, other comments abt how soldiers maybe didn't know where they are or were thinking that all Chernobyl is a thing of past may be also true
My ISP had deprecated email and other cloud services long ago. They used to offer an entire suite.

ISP email addresses were once the de facto way to have a stable, legitimate, and respectable address that wasn't "freemail". Long ago, of course, everyone just used their employer's or school address for everything.

When I found out about the deprecation, I was pissed, and I moved every single thing away from the three boxes I'd created. This was a prudent move also, because email addresses evaporate immediately upon termination of service, and cannot be retained a la carte in any circumstance. As an apartment dweller, I could not guarantee the perpetual stability of said ISP service.

(My previous provider, who supported my 56k modem dialup through mid-2008, fully supported a la carte email for as long as I wanted, and helped me make a very smooth transition.)

Sure, you can always cherry-pick someone from major city so this can't be literally "everybody", but it's absurd to claim that the majority of the population knows about Chernobyl.

For christ sakes, as you state, there is a whole new generation that was born after 2000 in russia. 90s are out and there is control of information> it doesn't matter that they can learn about this topic from internet or hbo or stalker (yes, sure, all gamers will assume that game is based on real events). if they are not taught about it, they won't know.

I agree. Does UB allow for compilers to do 'rm -rf /' in case of UB? I think some out-of-touch compiler bureaucrats might argue for it, but in practice nobody wants this
