I don't follow why the specific Coronavirus that causes COVID-19 would be different on this regard.

I cannot get past the captcha loop. Is that typical?
That's pretty good good overall. But it's acceptable to pick a fight here over functional vs imperative programming, undefined behavior vs ...I don't even know what the opposite more intelligent camp is called because the undefined behavior crowd, who I resent, have done such a thorough job of making it sound like a bad thing when it was included for very good practical reasons (e.g. pointers on different architectures were implemented different ways; you had to code for your architecture; you were unlikely to port your code; when you did port it, you ported it; C was actually sort of genius about it). So I've just expressed ideas, and disdain, which is what I wished to say.

People complain about the ugliness of politic, but free politics arises mostly out of democracy, before democracy average people could only express politics during bloody revolutions. So I don't see anything wrong with fighting (with words) about things we care about. The people who keep talking about undefined behavior have an agenda. So did the people who ruined the liberal arts. They were open about wishing to expel the people and ideas that they expelled. I'm not against expulsion, I wish to expel them. But at the same time I bring up the explicit ideological reasons. If you urge conciliation and compromise, great, join me, and put the Western canon back into the curriculum, we don't need to remove post-modern writing, just look at it askance, as any good skeptic should. If you don't want to do that, I don't want to cooperate with you. If writing things in a nice way hides what you want, I want no part of it.

"language not kingdom" was a nit, but as another nit, when I read the orig, my brain had me thinking I was going to be reading about England, so that's what was on my mind. en.wikipedia would have been more understandable to me, and till this moment right now, I never considered that different *.wikis would have different enough sensibilities that Wikimedia's PR machine would make that language distinction in a PR puff piece they planted. I guess they might be saying, "we've kicked retrograde ideas out of en.wikipedia, now we're turning our attention to the others."

Because, having experience with PR, I believe that the original article under consideration here is a PR piece, attempting to push back against the articles and ideas I'm expressing and that i linked to, that en.wikipedia is already ideologically captured by people who in private and sometimes in public talk exactly the way I'm talking, just in the other direction.

I do salute you for writing a nice response, it's possible missed somethings you said, but this is what came to my mind as I replied.

add on: postmodernism vs personal truth and lived experience. Postmoderism started as an art movement, where art has an academic tradition of exploring ideas and moving on, not persuading the middle classes to live that way; being associated with anything middle class is anathema to art. Personal truth and lived experience are much easier, and much more worthy, to ridicule.
Less active than Mastodon, I'd assume more active than Nostr.

But the interesting thing for me isn't activity — it's the people on there.

Of the cohort who had >100k followers on Twitter, I think more of them post regularly on Bluesky than post on Mastodon. Bluesky definitely has a more cohesive feel, especially because there's currently just one instance & mod team.

It’s not a good reason.

It's like my previous project https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33755016 but on a much larger amount of data. Rewrote everything in C++, tried to minimize allocations etc but still have some things to optimize. Current algorithm is just the cosine delta method on word/character {1,2,3}-grams as described in https://academic.oup.com/dsh/article/32/suppl_2/ii4/3865676 combined with a few other features from the Writeprint paper.

I have no academic or professional linguistic background so it's definitely not state of the art, but it works reasonably well and from what I can tell in the literature the fancier methods work slightly better but have significantly worse performance. The beauty of the cosine delta is that I can put the vectorized representations of each author into something like hnswlib (InnerProductSpace) or Milvus and get really fast comparisons.

> I appreciate the sentiment, but new devices being sold that still don’t support WPA3 means the adoption of 6GHz is going to be a very slow process.

No, it just means the adoption of WPA3 is going to happen at the same speed of 6 Ghz. The point is that every device that supports 6Ghz has to support WPA3.It's not like you could do 6Ghz on your Raspberry Pi but lack of WPA3 blocks you from it.

???????????????????????? is this argumentative fanboyism really helping anyone here?

Did they add some way to sideload your own apps or do what you want with photos and videos on the device at some point while I wasn't paying attention?

This is why people hate walled gardens. If everything is some half-assed walled garden, your ability to do interesting stuff gets painfully curtailed.

> I think there is an element of self-fulfilling prophecy here.

This too, but there's another thing at play as well: many developers don't know git at all. They just memorized enough commands to let them do their work. They don't understand what they're doing, so they can't reap the benefits of the tool they use. You won't get much use of RAW photos if all you can do in a graphics editor is clicking "auto enhance" button.
My claim is that my characterization of how Stallman thinks about this is an accurate characterization of how he thinks about this.

> It is "immoral" to release your code under a permissive license

That doesn't jibe with the FSF philosophy at all. I get the feeling that I'm interacting with someone who "knows" more about the FSF and Stallman based on what they've heard or imagined rather than actually reading what either Stallman or FSF have to say.

Permissive licenses like the X11 license are free software licenses and have the FSF's (and Stallman's) approval.
Average is deceiving. A single billionaire and 999 with zero yields an average of one million each.

With so much wealth at the too, average is going to be pulled up even when there are many with relatively near zero.
I have a lot of respect for lisp and its heritage. Respect is certainly one reason why I chose to write a lisp.

Other reasons include simplicity, practicality and ease of implementation. Lisp has a very simple syntax and it is relatively easy to parse it and implement a basic interpreter. I wrote the lexer and the parser by hand, there was no need to mess around with parser generators.

Another reason is I've come to see lisp as something of a frontend for C data structures. I have a byte buffer, encoded text, linked lists, resizable arrays, hash tables... Lisp is the language that binds them all together.

Another reason is that I knew how powerful lisp was despite the simplicity. Despite being a small project, lone is already metaprogrammable with FEXPRs. It turned out I needed exactly one bit in order to give lone macros.

if (function->function.flags.evaluate_arguments) {
arguments = lone_evaluate_all(lone, module, environment, arguments);
}

It just doesn't evaluate the arguments if it's a macro. The function gets the lists that represent the expressions of each argument instead of the final value they compute to. And those lists can be manipulated just like any other list.

I think that was the moment I got the fabled enlightenment they say lisp programmers experience. It just brings a smile to my face.

> Smartphones have taken over much of classic gadget functionality, and perhaps dimmed its magic.

Almost all gadget functionally, really. I was looking through a mid-1980's Radio Shack catalog. Just about everything in there can now be done by a phone instead. It is crazy and awesome when you think about it.

Camcorders, tape recorders, stereo systems, shortwave radios (now Internet streaming), TVs, VCRs, electronic weather gauges (just look up the current humidity now), computers, etc.
Yah, i love time zones because it means sun roughly corresponds to the same time on the clock at all places and instantly makes decisions about other time zones easy. I hate daylight savings time because it means my sleep schedule is messed for about two weeks twice a year and i get absolutely nothing from it except screwed out of drive in movies being as much of a thing as they should be and increased risk of sudden death from a cardiovascular event.
Well also it's totally fair to say they should know better than to spend thousands of real money on idiotic computer-generated cartoons. But it's really unexpected that any event would blind the attendees. The first is a pyramid scheme and the second is like a war crime or something. There's zero financial incentive to blind the attendees.
I think you're confusing 'embedded industry' with 'embedded hobbyists', because we (the industry) don't focus on hobbyists.

The RPi really does suck from a professional use-case: no volume, no 10 year guarantee, no proper industrial certifications and until a few years ago, extremely bad integration with tools like Yocto.

The two segments do overlap sometimes, but it's definitely not the same beast. A lot of SBC vendors have provided great boards over the years (looking at Variscite, PHYTEC, Toradex, SECO et al), but the incentives, and thus the final product, are not what hobbyists expect.

I really like this analysis, which also discusses the “fast doubling” method: https://extratricky.com/blog/fibonacci-complexity

it points out that the bit complexity of the traditional algorithm is actually quadratic. and apparently, restricted to fixed width integers, there is a constant time method.
For conversations sake I'm curious about specific evidence. It's also fun to consider which country or group of countries would provide the regulations and enforcement.

Feel this hard. I feel like I did well during unemployment while the Covid lockdown played out. I was an audio engineer before that, and during lockdown I ran 30 miles a week, made a lot of music, learned some Python, managed to pivot into tech (analytics). Still, it never feels like I'm really doing anywhere near as much as I could - that was all pretty much 3-5 hours a day with the rest being more or less pure leisure and rest.

Part of me is tempted to buy into the idea that the human animal just isn't naturally inclined to do more than a handful of hours of difficult or "productive" work in an average day. I honestly have no idea whether I'm normal or not, but I agree the pressure I put on myself probably isn't ultimately helpful most of the time. It's hard not to feel like others are getting way more done, and even harder to tell how much of what is presented is authentic.

Muslims are 'radical' because they stick to Qur'an, their book. Christians should also be sharing most of the same principles, if they are honest about following both Testaments. But hey, apparently they are mere "tales" nowadays if you ask a self-proclaimed Christian and you can see churches with pride flags. Christianity is dead because there is no one left who lives as per their book. It's arguably not very possible too, given that it is self-conflicting in many instances. Muslim view on this is that Jews tried to kill Jesus, weren't able to, and then corrupted the original Bible in an attempt to divide Christians.

> It requires fidelity at the threat of death and the forced conversion of outsiders.

Islam does not require forced conversion of outsiders. It can be said to require dominating Earth as a goal, but Christians and Jews lived peacefully under Islamic rule for millenia.

Fidelity at the threat of death is only if the person committing adultery is married and at least 4 people witnessed the incident. This requirement is rarely satisfied, while being enough too deter people to stay away from this act.

> Iran for instance instantiates the tenets of Islam in fact.

Iran is Shiite. They are a deviant sect. Doesn't mean all their practices represent Islam. There will be multiple deviant sects in any religion with billions of population. Vast majority of Muslims are Sunnis who are following the original teachings.

Important to note is all Islamic punishments regarding sins apply to Muslims, not people of other religions. They are (and historically were) free to do whatever they want, barring things like insulting people and betraying the state, which are also punishable under current secular law.

Christianity got killed first in the hands of St. Paul who basically changed Bible to his liking - and then by the Roman emperor whom I forgot his name who selected 4 out of the 400 Bibles available at the time in that famous meeting.

Can anyone recommend an insurer where can I take out an insurance policy that covers against this sort of thing and any other weird and random spookie stuff at a distance, in order to cover medical costs and any quality of life issues that result?

Some sort of literal insurance policy would make me feel better after reading stories like this.

It probably wouldn't be too expensive, people tend to inflate risks based on saliency, I bet the actual risk is very low, but it will give me enough peace of mind to be worth it.

This really resonates with me. Not powerlifting myself, but I have a strength training routine at the gym with the goal of improving my right knee pain.

No, I’m contrasting utilitarianism with deontology and explaining why deontological ethics are preferable. Utilitarianism is concerned with effects while deontology is concerned with actions and/or intents.

That said there are several arguments from within utilitarianism that support deontology. For instance Bentham mugging indicates a utilitarian should pretend to support a deontology.
Again, I'm not talking about the scientific process of figuring stuff out, I'm saying that we literally censored people saying otherwise, even if it turned out, that they were correct after all.

> Yeah, because we all learned new things! We learned that while the vaccines did do a good job at preventing death and serious disease, they not provide a great deal of immunity.

Back then? No.

> And we have -- we can kind of almost see the end. We`re vaccinating so very fast, our data from the CDC today suggests, you know, that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don`t get sick, and that it`s not just in the clinical trials but it`s also in real world data.

If you went on facebook/reddit back then, the day after that interview, and wrote: "vaccines don't give you a lot of immunity, you'll still get ill, you'll still infect grandma, she can still die from covid, and even with 100% vaccination rate, there will never be herd immunity!", what would happen to your post? Would it stay there? Or would it be removed for misinformation? If you were a public figure and said that out loud, would "the science/experts" agree with your (then and now) perfectly valid theory, or would you be called an antivaxxer, denyer, conspiracy theorist?

It's not deceiving, it's quite clear what it represents. Who isn't aware these days that the US is an unbalanced society in terms of wealth? I think even the typical person commenting on eg Reddit knows that story by now (which is why you'll find that - the gap between median and mean - pointed out in every single relevant thread on sites like that).
If you read this article and immediately wanted to admonish others for what you imagine their reactions to be, examine those feelings.
I agree it's a hard problem to solve. And pay transparency alone won't solve it.

But it helps, as not only do you know what other people are making but they'd know what you're making. So people who manage to talk their way into some extra bucks on the way in, well now their coworkers know. And if that person isn't performing at a higher level, they'll start complaining.

And then yes, there are problems with the above. But my larger point is this puts more information in the hands of more employees, which can only be a good thing. The set of employees it hurts are the one set of employees who I think shouldn't be getting ahead in the first place.
