Then I resort to my original comment: Then just not fucking bomb the children. Their blood is on Israeli hands just as much as Hamas, don't try to weasel out of it.

That you're comparing children throwing rocks to using advanced military equipment to bomb them back says a lot about your values. As if doing the first in any way excuses doing the second.. A child being told to throw rocks doesn't know any better, and doesn't deserve to die for it. Holy crap some of you are out of touch with humanity.
> Once your projects grow past a certain size, threats of physical violence also become a regular occurrence, here's a milder email I have received last year: https://i.imgur.com/LKJQq1p.png

That's not a threat of physical violence at all.
The RISC-V instruction set is not encumbered by intellectual property. This means they are cheaper to make, licensing costs being 0. Cheaper to make can translate to the customer into cheaper to buy.
The Hamas is using drones heavily and did use them to disable the fence. They planned to use them against tanks which would have worked against older versions of Israeli armed vehicles. Newer versions have a defensive system that can stop most anti-tank warfare and everything the Hamas have (they have many Russian weapons supplied via Iran, they have a very deep cache of weapons).

This tank defense system is also designed to stop drones.
> Please note that cash payments are not at all popular in India and UPI is the most common means of digital payment.

This is a very privileged (and personal) view.

In terms of objective hard data, the percentage of Cash in Circulation to GDP (CIC/GDP) in India is about 12.7% which is about the same as 2005-2015 figures (12.1%), in fact it’s slightly higher.

Essentially the ratio of cash in circulation to the total economy hasn’t changed materially, in fact it’s gone up slightly, measured over a decade.

Note that CIC/GDP did rise to 14.4% in 2021 due to GDP shrinkage post COVID, so it’s fallen from then, but that was a one-off blip.

Why CIC/GDP has not fallen further needs more investigation, but an interesting nugget is that most UPI transactions are very low value, 2/3rds under INR 500 ($6).

It’s also worth considering the impact of internet shutdowns, which can be long and sustained. People living in New Delhi won’t realise this, but many parts of the country have experienced this. Of course UPI now has “offline mode” (Lite) but it’s limited to small-value payments.

Some of the stats above was drawn from here[1], the writer is quite well known in finance journalism circles.

An awful lot of marketing puff sounds like GPT3 output.

One good consequence of generative "AI" might be that real people start discounting meaningless bafflegab marketing prose as automated nonsense, even if it was deliberately composed by a human. Which in turn might drive PR-type people to learn to write meaningful English.

Incidentally, I thought GPT3's summary of the post (upthread) was rather good.
Also, some Israel and US tanks already have active protection system (APS) that can automatically shoot down anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), anti-tank rockets, and high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds [0].

Don't think it'll take too much to update them to also shoot down drones.

>> The world's foremost proponent of not trusting standardized parameters wrote and repeatedly submitted a paper demonstrating a model attack that targeted curves built from mathematical constants; when you've "backdoored pi", there's really no place to go from there.

That sounds like an argument against standard parameters. Even if we trust an algorithm, we can't trust others to choose parameters for them? The solution seems obvious - find a better way to choose (non-standard) parameters.
Are there any external hardware encoders/decoders?
The latter. Over the last several years, I replaced our clever Nix setups with standard solutions. What resulted was measurable increased reliability, performance and development velocity. So I feel qualified to comment.

I still keep an eye on Nix because it has some interesting ideas and there’s clever folks working on it.

Some fuel pumps still require inserting my card, but that’s changing too compared to just a few years ago.
Potentially it's being poorly described by the writer.

Tanks have comparatively weak turret and upper armour. Plus you don't need to destroy a tank to reduce its combat ability, you can just make it throw a track, or destroy its external sensors. A grenade will sometimes do that, but even better is a cheap rocket propelled grenade warhead that you drop onto the turret of the tank, as those are designed to penetrate armour.

In addition, russian tanks would be driven with their hatches open for fresh air, providing an easy entry point for a skilled Ukrainian drone pilot.

- A 2021 study of fatal dog attacks in Europe during the period 1995–2016 placed the United Kingdom (with 56 fatalities) as fourth in the top five countries for number of human fatalities alongside Hungary (#1), France (#2), Romania (#3), and Poland (#5).

- Hospital episode data for England also reveal an upward trend in the number of attendances for dog related injuries in the past 15 years. There has been an 88% increase in attendances, from 4699 in 2007 to 8819 in 2021-22.

- BBC News - Dog attacks: 34% increase recorded by police in England and Wales (2023). Last year, there were nearly 22,000 cases of out-of-control dogs causing injury. In 2018, there were just over 16,000.

I prefer cash, and use it as much as possible, but the US is becoming increasingly cash-hostile. More and more places are refusing to accept it. You will generally only find success claiming legal tender in situations where an actual debt has been incurred (e.g. you've already eaten your meal but have not paid for it yet).

I don't really understand why, from the merchant's perspective. It's like these businesses like reducing their profit margins by paying 2% interchange fees. Baffling.
I think in the case of Peterson the answer to not dying is "not getting addicted to benzodiazopene".
You forgot the road themselves. Note that Illich also refuse train, so you have to build them with all logistic to build them on bicycles cargo.

On top of this, the ambulance we know how to build today are not the one from when we first managed to go faster than a bicycle (average human).

Which means you would be stuck at state of the art engine, car, brakes, etc from the 30s. Or maybe the 10s even, as it was already valuable in first world war.

Same for planes. Trains. Etc

And would we really build the infrastructure for them to actually drive on if it was so limited?

As the other answers point out, this fails to acknowledge the systemic impact of such rules.

My usual test for a lot of critics of current systems that offer something "far better" with nearly no downside compared to the current one is to ask if they could invent, develop and produce MRIs in enough quantities.

It is actually really hard to build systems that would. This is a taller order than you think.

I think most college math depts have "applied math" majors. I like both sides of math, but I found it incredibly frustrating when I would try to study just the equations for that chapter, only to be tested on a word problem. The whole "trying to trick you" conspiracy turned me off to college in general. If I'm trying to teach someone how to do something, I would show them "A, then, B, and you get C" , then assign a variety of homework of that form, and on the test, say "A, then B, then _____" and they would be correct if they concluded C. But for some reason this method isn't used much in university. If I wanted to teach a student how to start with C and deconstruct into A, B , thats what I would have taught them!

Note that illich is against cities. In his mind, a more atomised world would emerge from such a ban, more localised and focused on communities in neighborhood, with less dependencies outside.

So the only thing using roads would be emergency. Food would need to be local too or transported slowly by speed of walk or bicycle.

Which means that we would all be taxed pretty high for something rarely used.

In "big tech" you see counters to that such as Microsoft's repeated experiments like Windows 8 (where they looked ready to throw it all away for the tablet form factor) or Facebook's knowing that it is very mortal so it has bought many possible competitors and is investing heavily in XR.

Pre-Tesla the assumption was that electric cars were going to start out as low capability vehicles

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_EV1

but Tesla realized a lithium-ion electric could make it as a luxury car. The trouble w/ western car manufacturers is that they are hung up on selling $80,000 XXXL SUVs and pickup trucks that not a lot of people can afford. Had GM come out with an electric Hummer in 2010 that might have been the right vehicle but today is too late, you have 50 electric car startups competing to sell 5000 XXXL SUVs, it is not worth GM's time. Tesla is meantime moving downmarket whereas Detroit's plan is to gang up with the UAW to double-team lawmakers to use the law as a weapon against competition.

Depending on your use case. For example, I was using a RPi 4 with a large external drive to receive backups over ssh. Come to find out, the performance bottleneck was ssh encryption overhead -- ssh server is single threaded, so it only used one cpu core, and got about 20 MB/s instead of the expected > 100 MB/s I can get out of even a low end x86 board.

On the other hand, a RPi 4 was cheap enough that if you needed to work on someone's Windows box, you can plop one of these down to get them "back in business" real quick for browsing the internet, video streaming, email, etc.
I won’t claim that these are perfect solutions, but I do believe they’re better than just making stuff open source and then feeling that you can ignore diversity. So with that, here are a few things that I think could be helpful:

- use employment rather than contractors for things like janitorial and service work. This give people more stable employment and better benefits that can be leveraged to climb the social ladder

- develop strong recruiting efforts at HBCUs and other sources of under-represented talent

- add some non-university/credential based sources in your recruitment pool (ex: leet code)

- sponsor your employee’s time to volunteer during the workday for things like robotics competitions and other STEM clubs at area high schools that have under-represented youth

- at a cultural level, begin to at least collectively acknowledge that almost nothing is a pure meritocracy; that attitude serves as air cover to avoid confronting internal biases. You may doubt that implicit bias exists or that it impacts you. If so, I kindly request that you take [this test](https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatouchtest.html) before responding to this particular point.

> Can't hormone treatment during the early years have lasting, permanent effects?

It can, although the GP's assertion that this is more reversible than knee surgery is probably still true.
Oh yes. Derp! No one really uses graphic calculators in UK schools, so they're all the same to me to me to be honest. A £10 Casio was all that was ever needed at school, and I didn't need one at university either. So I never got any kind of deep connection with any model in the way that some people seem to live and breathe their favourite models.

The data there is not good. There are studies that claim it is low. They focus on surgery a lot. There are not many trans people (relative to the general population) and not many studies on them. There is not sufficient granularity between:

- trans people who only take hormones,

- who do that and have top surgery,

- who are castrated and,

- who have top and bottom surgery

Personally, I think bottom surgery is not quite there and is definitely a medical frontier and free-for-all. Hormones and top surgery are fairly reversible via application of more money, exercise and time.

Based on that, I am forced to fall back to first principles, and feel that given that the risk of lasting damage is low on some procedures, that those procedures which give perfectly acceptable and also potentially reversible results are reasonable to offer in this way.

Which parts of Austria and Germany are that? In Germany the air raid sirens are part of the emergency broadcast system and outside natural disasters only heard during tests. These tests happen on a schedule and when done at a federal level )(i.e. when the cellular emergency system is also tested rather than just the sirens) you'll hear about them on the news in advance.

I'm not aware of them being used to summon the fire department and don't think that's very common outside maybe extremely rural areas. AFAIK volunteer fire departments use mobile phones.

I would love to see into the future and know if Rust adoption will meet or exceed C adoption in the microcontroller space. Right now, it seems like the trend seems to be going more towards greater adoption of high-level/scripting languages (MicroPython especially), instead of replacing C with another "low level"* language.

Now, replacing a MicroPython written in C, with a MicroPython written in Rust? I can easily see that.

* I know some consider C high level, especially if you are writing Assembly.

I do agree that dramatically reducing the number of private cars is a challenge. But I strongly believe that we don't have a choice.

I see it this way: our society is built upon abundant energy, which is mostly (and by far) fossil fuels. Yes, renewable grow fast (while still being marginal), but they grow fast in a world of abundant fossil fuels. Cut the fossil fuels entirely today, and we are dead.

The thing is: fossil fuels are not unlimited; in the close future, we will have passed the peak of production for all of them (conventional peak oil was in 2008, Europe feels it since then). So we are going towards a world with less fossil energy, and we don't have a solution to replace it (we can hope for technological breakthroughs, but we just don't have the solution today). Hence it seems pretty reasonable to think that we will have less energy in the future. And therefore, we need to do less, and it will be more costly.

That's not necessarily the end of the world, that's just different (though probably more complicated).

> Do you expect to still pay $20 for that?

No. I expect to have to do less with less. I am not saying that I will necessarily live better, just that my survival depends on my society being able to do it.
The "infinite depth" seems to be a matter of definition. It's practically infinite if you include feedback loops via learning.
If you exclude learning, then it's far from "infinite". Activations linger for up to 15-30 seconds, so at oscillations of around 30 Hz that would result in about 450-900 loops (times an unknown small multiplier for the actual number of layers). But the brain presumably only backprops/optimizes a few layers at a time and not much "through" time.
I use a triple strategy of Google Photos (for AI and editing), iCloud (for integration into Apple software), and OneDrive (cheap storage + stores everything as raw files). Occasionally I perform a Google Takeout and keep a hard copy on an external SSD as well.
