Indeed it's a simplification! You can use buffers to keep information from previous states or share state between pixels (for both fragment and compute shaders). Though it can greatly reduce the performance sometimes.
For an intro however, I think it's simpler to assume no memory nor shared state.
The paper he links to [1] broadly agrees with his statement, eg "An estimated 1 in 270 women who underwent a coronary angiography CT at age 40 will develop cancer from that CT (1 in 600 men), compared with an estimated 1 in 8,100 women who had routine head CT at the same age (1 in 11, 080 men)".

You undermine the argument in favor of "better internet" with a terrible analogy from war on drugs.

There are plenty normal, highly functional heroin users whom we don't know about because they hide this (since it's prosecuted). The poster examples of abuse are not them however, which helps justify prosecution. On the other hand there are people with mental issues who will get addicted to anything, if not heroin then weed, if not weed then gambling, if not gambling then social media, etc etc. Maybe "dehumanizing" is trying to ban every potential vice rather than fixing the issues that lead to misuse. The cause vs. the symptom.
Notes on making a multiplayer "doing nothing app"
I'd consider that an exceptional case of one site that was provably harmful. With scam sites it is easy to find thousands that match a pattern that identifies them as scams but that's still circumstantial evidence. We actually don't want internet police that shuts down sites based on indirect evidence of falsity as there would be numerous false positives, with legitimate sites shut down. The web (both the true www as well as walled gardens) will always be populated by scams and bad actors, just like real life is. We can hope that education & control mechanisms help as much as possible but they are fallible and require time, effort & money.

Well, it short-circuits the licensing cost argument for rolling your own frameworks, but I don’t think that was ever the real reason why devs love reinventing the wheel.

The thing I don't understand is that if the CT scan is more dangerous than having a kidney removed, then surely they'd take the kidney out to see if it was compatible with the recipient rather than give you such a dangerous scan.

Tito passed away in 1980 at the age of 88, and his influence had been waning for at least a decade before his death. His final significant power move occurred in 1972 when he dismissed the Croatian leadership. However, it's worth noting that he also dismissed the Serbian leadership, seemingly in an effort to maintain a semblance of parity. The constitutional changes in 1974 paved the way for Yugoslavia's eventual disintegration, and it became a question of whether the republic leaderships could come to any agreements.

As for concerns about Serb domination in Yugoslavia, it's important to consider that each political reform in Yugoslavia since the end of World War II had weakened the federal administration while strengthening the republic administrations. By the time the last constitution was established in 1974, each republic had its own president, government with various ministries, police, secret police, and some form of military forces (territorial defense). On the federal level, each of these institutions had become a mere shadow of what they were just 20 years earlier. To pass any decision at the federal level, a majority vote was required and Serbia had one vote just like everybody else (that will change once Milosevic got control over two autonomous provinces in Serbia but that happened only in 1989-1990).

In the case of Serbia proper, by 1974, two autonomous provinces, Vojvodina and Kosovo, had gained so much autonomy that they had voting power on the federal level. These two regions of Serbia already possessed legislative autonomy, meaning they could pass laws for their own territories without consulting the rest of Serbia. Consequently, there was a central part of Serbia that found itself somewhat beholden to these two autonomous provinces.
> Kosovo is a country.

The same way that Afghan democratic government melted away, when the US troops withdrew, so will "Kosovo" go.
Accumulating stuff that "might be useful" at some indefinite point in the future, without trying to curate the accumulation might not be hoarding, but, it's actually quite similar to the mindset of some of the actual hoarders on the TV show Hoarders. Those people obviously take it to pathological extremes, and I'm not suggesting having a bunch of empty, cleaned out yogurt containers stashed away somewhere is in any way equivalent to stuffing one's entire house from floor to ceiling with stuff. But, on the show, when the hoarders talk about why they do it, it's often a behavior that came about as a reaction to some kind of loss, or out of a fear of some kind of loss. I would suggest that what you've described ("I'll hold on to this 'just in case....") is a lot like the reasons they give for doing it, even if the real motivation is quite different.

There are differences as well. Magnitude is the obvious one, unless you actually filled your entire kitchen with yogurt containers or something lol. :) The other big one I can think of is that an actual hoarder will have genuine, severe anxiety at the mere thought of getting rid of anything from their hoard. This is another assumption, of course, but my guess is that if you had to get rid of some, or maybe even most of your accumulation of yogurt containers for some reason, you'd be able to do that, and the thought wouldn't fill you with dread or anything.

> The EA view of things is pretty simple to understand. Given the premise of limited resources, and a belief that all lives are worth the same, how can you best improve human livelihood?

Not quuiiite. Many other groups would accept that value, framed that way, maybe even a majority of people. What differentiates EA isn't their intention to improve livelihood, but their belief that it is possible to know how to do that.

And in fact other groups also have high confidence in their understanding of how to achieve this goal. It's not obvious to me that EA's approach to the constraints is more effective than the noble eightfold path or love your neighbor as yourself.

No, multiplying the incidence by 1.05 is incorrect. The 5% figure is additive.

Worth to note that is not just some obscure small company coming out of nowhere to capitalize from Apple. Masimo is a decades-old medical equipment company, with several developments and patents for non-invasive PPG.

Apple is obviously well-aware of their developments, and was in touch with them already in 2013, more than a year before the launch of the Apple Watch.

From the actual lawsuit filed by Masimo in 2020 [1]:

"In 2013, Apple contacted Masimo and asked to meet regarding a potential collaboration. Apple told Masimo that Apple would like to understand more about Masimo’s technology to potentially integrate that technology into Apple’s products. Apple and Masimo later entered into a confidentiality agreement, and Masimo’s management met with Apple. The meetings included confidential discussions of Masimo’s technology. After what seemed to Masimo to have been productive meetings, Apple quickly began trying to hire Masimo employees, including engineers and key management."

Well yeah, it’s better that patent trolls can hold on to them.

Apple at least is under some pressure to not abuse it’s dominant position in the market. And more importantly that patents in this case seem just idiotic and shouldn’t be valid in the first place.
> How long has the oldest one lasted?

The list is right there, answer your own question. At least 89 years, though maybe there is something older.

> Come on. You think Marxism works, find one that works.

Again, communes aren't Marxist in the first place (though some small minority of communes may be composed of Marxists), but there are several on that list decades older and significantly larger than that one.

Also, I provided upthread what I described as the best example of Marxism working, this whole discussion of communes is you trying to beat a strawman that you set up, but failing even at that.

> Jamestown and Plymouth were (failed) communes

Neither Jamestown nor Plymouth were remotely communes at any point, including in their planning and founding. (While it was merged with a number of other colonies in a later colonial reorganization, I also don't understand what your criteria is for Plymouth failing, unless you mean failing as a commune, which is unsurprising since it never tried to be a commune, being closer to a capitalist republic with a very strong state church, from its founding to when it ceased to be a separate entity.)

> Just because they predated Marxism doesn't mean they aren't Marxist.

No, institutions which predate the existence of Marxism were not Marxist, but I guess this illustrates your commitment to seeing the world as a duality of things which are Marxism and things which are opposed to it, even where not only does that conflict not exist, but also it is logically impossible for it to exist.
Only interpolating based on the edge? Needing to carefully map float coordinates so you don't wind up with fractional pixels mapping incorrectly? Inability to look at pixels to each side to compute something?

You can work around the limitations in vertex or fragment shaders, but, in many cases, you're having to unwind a lot of what the vertex and fragment processing does.

On of my favorite examples is drawing a screen/pixel-space rectangle and then drawing a border of the rectangle in a different color and specifying the number of pixels that border should be wide. Oof. You have to specify 4 triangles, make sure they don't overlap, specify them in a particular vertex order or annotate them with extra data so you only draw one of the three edges, make sure that you only draw each pixel just once or your blending goes all to crap, etc. Whereas, you can divide the rectangle into chunks, send each chunk through the compute pipeline, and it's stupidly straightforward.

Or, if you want simpler, just draw a line n pixels wide. If you don't have an explicit extension to do this, it's really a pain.

2D graphics simply wants very different graphic and computational primitives compared to 3D.

In fact an interesting detail of the ecommerce image situation is that you can somewhat trade-off bandwidth and compute. Creating resized images is expensive (we had ~2m unique images viewed per month), but if you can resize an image down and compress it well you might save 80% of the bandwidth on it, and deliver a better UX due to faster images. We did a bit of modelling to figure out how many sizes we wanted to deliver in order to get the best compute/bandwidth trade-off. This can be tricky for many companies but we were in a weird position because we had a large catalog compared to order volume, because of how the business worked.

Video is an even better one. While we didn't have to deal with it in ecommerce, so many social applications are built around video. That doesn't necessarily mean YouTube/TikTok/etc, but also smaller things like BeReal who I'd guess are built entirely on cloud infra, even embedded videos in Mastodon posts. A similar thing could even be said about Podcasting/audio – not as bad as video, but there are specialist podcast hosts for a reason, and it's not that they do a great job, it's because they have cheap bandwidth.
Looks like the monthly “people absolutely lose their minds over VS Code telemetry”. The same people would then be complaining if VS Code crashed constantly from bugs that they also never report in place of no telemetry.
Apple certainly deserves a taste of what they do to others, but of course they won't.

Actually it's worse than that, this would be a legitimate, deserved hit, while what they do to all the refurbished/scavenged parts is not. Someone somewhere already paid Apple for those parts, and Apple no longer owns them, yet they can deploy the government to exert control over them, and the little guy can not do the same to defend against that.

> I don't know where Scott got 30, but maybe the kidney screening is multiple scans or otherwise higher dose.

Scott called it "multiphase abdominal CT". Quick searching on-line suggests[0] that the "multiphase" here stands for doing 3-4 scans within a minute or two of each other, as the contrast agent diffuses through the organ, giving you multiple images that inform you about different parts of the target structure.

> Wiki gives ~10 Sv for an abdominal CT; (...) Or he was wrong by a factor of 3

If what I wrote above is correct, then it tracks - ~10 mSv for one CT, multiplied by 3-4 scans done in a multiphase CT, gives you ~30-40 mSv, which matches the number Scott posted.

apropos language, yes they are definitely mutually intelligible.. but there are some grammatical and definitely a lot of lexicographical differences to consider them to an extent separate.

They say the way to hell is paved with good intentions. Playfullness is a very cute way to frame deceit, but its still a lie to most.

Grumpiness out of the market rewarding liars and cheaters is the obvious, and normal response. The proposed goal of a market led economy is the efficient market hypothesis, if you find obvious, glaring, examples of non optimal solutions (such as cheating, corruption, law breaking, scams, deceit, fraud etc) being rewarded instead of punished then yeah you should be grumpy.

Another case why the Internet Archive is one of the most important organizations of our time.
