Yeah we need strong anti-Kafka laws so that individuals can always find out what they've been "charged" with and that there always need to be an "appeal" process and businesses are strictly denied the ability to claim that they can't reveal their methods.

I suppose it may seem simpler because we tend to anthropomorphize god, so "god simply snapped his fingers and everything came into existence" angle doesn't sound too complicated.

But then you start asking questions like where did god come from and why did he do what he did and the simplicity starts to fall apart.

Really, the moment the words "there's an omnipotent being that..." are uttered, simplicity goes out of the window.
I've been to Berghain quite a few times, each time I wore the same thing. black dress shoes no socks, black knee length "cut jean" shorts, and a white dress shirt 3 buttons undone. Never had any issues, I got the impression your vibe matters a lot more than how you're dressed? I love Berghain, it's great spot, crazy how kind and fun everyone is when you're in there.
At the end of the Cold War, I enlisted in the Navy because it was a good opportunity; there was no ambiguity regarding the bad guys; the military leadership was good; the elected leadership was generally tolerable.

I'm no longer able to encourage the youth to follow in my footsteps, as the opposite of the above is generally the case.

Sure hope the situation improves.
The '386 was the first in that line to support demand paged virtual memory which opened up a lot of things an OS could do. IMO that's the most important thing the '386 provided. My second PC was a '386 that ran SCO UNIX. (First was an 8080 based Heathkit H-8 that ran CP/M.)
> Windows NT shipped on about 7 or so architectures including PowerPC for the Xbox360. And they also have experience with emulation, that's how they got Xbox 360 emulation on the newer X86 models.

The entire NT stuff has gone down the drain. The last non-x86 platforms were dropped around 2000 [1] until ARM entered the picture in 2012, but the latter was mostly used for Windows Phone for many years which itself got discontinued around 2017.

All these many thousand human-years of experience have long ago retired or went to other companies, their institutional knowledge is effectively lost for Microsoft. And that is the problem.

I can tell you from first hand experience that while the hospice system is certainly better than nothing and has extremely helpful and useful aspects, it's also extremely expensive where i live and the only "spiritual" assistance available is through one specific church, as far as i was aware. Sure, she had a moderately comfy bed and assistants that came to drain her bags and talk but she was still terrified and constantly drugged up to keep from freaking out. Any tool that has even a chance of helping retain sanity and humanity in such a trial is worth researching and communicating. These psychedelic drugs provide a service that simply cannot be achieved with any hospice system, anywhere in the world, ever. To actively advocate against the dying beings allowed to feel peace is inhuman, incomprehensible, and if i weren't certain it was pure naivety, evil.

Psychedelics bring peace to the dying. What harm is that? That's what you're arguing against

Heh, https://cdixon.org/2010/01/03/the-next-big-thing-will-start-...

«The reason big new things sneak by incumbents is that the next big thing always starts out being dismissed as a “toy.” This is one of the main insights of Clay Christensen’s “disruptive technology” theory.»

Tho Raspberry Pi computers are designed to a low price point, so they are aiming for the low end not the high end. But the 5 is about as powerful as the last-generation Intel MacBooks, despite using fairly old Arm cores. I don’t think they can be casually dismissed.

> He seems to have written a book dismissing renewables by assuming fixed technology/costs from 2008 for projection into the future

Your impression is incorrect.

As the blog post notes, the problem is that two changes in particular - the reduction in demand, and the absolutely crazy drop in the cost of PV - were far larger than anything mckay was able to reasonable foresee in 2008.

Almost the opposite, in fact.
Ammonia was used in early home refrigerators, and people died in their sleep from exposure to leaked refrigerant with distressing frequency. There was a race to design leak-proof refrigerators; Einstein was issued a patent.

Then non-toxic freon was introduced and rendered those efforts irrelevant.

I don't trust Elon Musk words, at all. It doesn't mean I think it is wrong, but that it can be right or wrong, and material evidence may point to either direction, but what Elon Musk says is random noise to me. At least when he is talking about his business. He is like a professional poker player, you never know when he is bluffing.

In the case of Starlink, on what grounds does it "breakeven"? It is a department of a private company, there is no way to know. In particular, Starlink is entirely dependent on SpaceX launches. How much does Starlink pays SpaceX for its launches? It is a completely arbitrary value. In reality, the money doesn't leave the company.

For what I know, it may just be a pumping scheme for a future IPO, with the goal of eventually funneling investor money from a public Starlink to a private SpaceX. Or maybe not, Elon Musk is way smarter than me when it comes to business, that's why he is a billionaire and I am not, I can't predict his moves, but I know enough not to trust him.

> when I had two or more files of the same size, and the size was larger than a few MB, they likely had the same content.

Yes, if the number of files is small enough, then "notice unique file sizes" is really the only optimization that ends up mattering much. If you have a few thousand files and they're each multiple gigabytes then hopefully you'll get lucky and no two will have the same size.

But the ideal tool should also try to handle the opposite case well too.

First, imagine if you have a huge collection of unique ~100KiB files. Now the "birthday paradox" means that size collisions are inevitable so optimizing the total I/O needed to prove two files are different starts to belp.

But the pathological case is even worse -- what if nearly all of your files are about the same size? For instance, suppose you have a program that is recording time-series data from a sensor and rotating the file every time it grows to 10MB. This sort of thing happens all the time dealing with scientific data sets -- you might have a directory with thousands of large files, all exactly the same size. If you want to quickly verify none of the files are dups, reading one block from each is far more efficient than hashing them all.

Agree completely about the vibe. Outfit is really just a way to read vibe, but not at all the only one. That outfit sounds like you weren't trying to be anything someone else expects, which is precisely the kind of thing that demonstrates you would be a good fit.

The culture in Berghain (and many Berlin clubs) is amazing - and part of the reason is the selectivity!
Cory Doctorow has talked about how "they" test these kinds of things on captive "audiences" - mainly children and prisoners - before expanding to the rest of us. I tend to add marginalized groups to that list. Even when a person can nominally be held accountable, it doesn't matter if you can't reach them, protected by an administrative or institutional barrier of some kind.

Standardized testing and remote learning monitoring, automated sentencing software, and any number of social programs are examples, if you were wondering.

So, part of the problem is the signalling that the tolerating of these practices when they happen to those less able to defend themselves presents to companies. "Go ahead, do it, you'll get away with it." I tend to think: because the people with the power to stop it benefit from it.

I got put on a watch list during my time in Saudi and Abu Dhabi. Didnt affect my banking but every plane ticket i got for years had “SSSS”[0] printed/sharpied on it and all my luggage would get a secondary hand-search at every stop immediately pre-boarding both domestically and internationally.

I am just average white US citizen who was working on oil rigs but most likely some of my whatsapp/facebook/iMessage contacts were related to families involved in dissidence against the Saudi government (because the oil region of Saudi is populated by a minority Shia group that is severely underrepresented in governance). Their mosques also had individuals with mental health issues who occasionally try to bomb the mosques in a very, very similar parallel to school shooters back home here in USA.

I have written that chess engines stopped improving at chess played from starting position - it's a draw every time (well, unless you really push them to play very fast on limited hardware). The reason we assess current Stockfish as stronger engine than Stockfish from 2 years ago is that it is better at playing chess starting from different positions than a standard starting one.

In terms of weakly and strongly solved you could say that modern Stockfish is a step closer to strongly solving chess than previous one (it is able to win more winning positions and find draws in more difficult drawn positions). It is however not able to win from standard starting position (what we call chess).

It seems to me you're not familiar with how chess engines are tested and compared and your misunderstanding of the state of the affairs stems from that.

>>Is your suggestion that StockFish of 2020 will always draw against StockFish of 2023 if they have "unlimited time?"

You don't need unlimited time. You need less than 30 minutes per move on modern top of the line consumer CPU. Probably much less but I want to be safe. You also need an opening book if using Stockfish before NNUE. It had a very well known weakness in the openings and wasn't designed to be used without an opening book. If the goal was to ship a strongest engine in as-is state the programmers would add a few megabytes of book moves - resulting in still smaller executable than modern NNUE version. They didn't because everyone used their own book anyway.

If NN engine "contains" an opening book is a philosophical question heavily debated by chess programmers. It didn't matter for a long time until Alpha Zero team exploited it to make their engine look much better than it really was.

>>But I'm actually interested. Has anyone tried 2020 StockFish vs 2023 StockFish with huge time allowances?

It's pointless from starting position (with caveats above). That's also the reason correspondence chess is dead. Rare wins come from mistakes in move entry or failure to run an engine for 30 seconds for whatever reason. Top correspondence players - guys who used to run multiple huge machines for days or weeks to find any tiny edge with often custom software to guide the engine can't win vs bare unattended Stockfish running on a Threadripper for 30 minutes or less per move anymore.
This is the coolest thing I have seen over the previous week! Looks fantastic!
Someone mentioned this already but it means the beaglebone can act as a peripheral. Only RPi 4 and above has this feature so its not necessarily mainstream until maybe the past 5 years.

The problem isn't even building NT for ARM/RISC-V/SH-4 or whatever, it's being able to reproduce enough of the surrounding universe that Windows on x86-64 has.

Apple has more leverage over devs; they can say "No more x86-64 in N years" and the developers basically have to move to ARM or abandon MacOS. This bootstraps the market; people who want MacOS have to suck it in and buy ARM because it's the only new hardware we'll be seeing in the future.

Microsoft doesn't control the hardware sector to put a hard deadline on new x86-64 products, and it would be suicidal to cut off the x86-64 software support at any time in the near future.

This means we'll see new x86-64 Windows machines in the store, and all the third-party apps supporting x86-64 Windows, for years to come. So as a consumer, why would I want an ARM-Windows machine? It has little exclusive software, is likely buggier and less mature, and probably runs the vast majority of x86-64 software in an emulation penalty box.

I'm talking about during parsing.

Let's assume I send you a JSON object that is one very long string and nothing else. It's e.g. 1 GB in size. To know you need to allocate a 1GB buffer, you need to first scan it, and then copy it; or keep reallocating the same buffer until it fits.

It's an absurd case, but shorter strings face similar overhead.
> Somehow somewhere along the way we as a society decided we were ok with criminalizing the types of transactions that can be used to hide crime. That to me should have been a clear step in the wrong direction.

Totally wrong direction.

This goes back to this weird fetishism where people think it was oh-so-cool to arrest and convict Al Capone for "not paying taxes" instead of convicting him for his actual crimes.

A society which thinks its cool to send people to jail for tax evasion instead of sending them to jail for organized crime is a failed society.
Going nuclear: how the future of crypto mining is playing out in rural America
Software engineers can sometimes find it difficult as with a HDL you (should) describe hardware that exhibits the intended behaviour, rather than just directly describing the behaviour.

HDLs have familiar syntax that makes it seem like you can just program algorithms imperatively (for loops, if statements, functions etc) but it's all just a mean trick to catch software people out, and generally won't give the results you expect.

On top there's then the fact everything happens at the same time, the faff of making everything synchronised and making sure it meets timing and fighting the frankly awful tooling every step of the way.

Once you get it, it's fine, but you have to unlearn a lot of software muscle memory and keep the actual design work (boxes and lines) almost entirely separate from the implementation (typing your boxes and lines into a text editor).

Hey, maybe a little off topic but if you're still taking MDMA multiple times a month i would strongly suggest you should stop. It's known to be neurotoxin, especially in large doses, especially especially when done frequently, frequently being more than once in about 3 months. It doesn't matter what you're supplementing, effective doses of MDMA done every week or two will be catastrophic to the long term health of your serotonin system and cause chronic health issues that will take years and years to resolve, if they ever do.

I don't know you're situation, dose, knowledge, safety, etc. But in the off chance you're one of the many people destroying their future minds with this stuff, i have to say something. Google MDMA Supplementation Guide Reddit to find the best ways to reduce toxicity if you intend on continuing.

Interestingly, I've never owned a 386. I was not much of a DOS/Win PC person until 1994, when I got a 486 to run NEXTSTEP. I've had an i8088, NEC V20, i80286, i80486, AMD 5x86, P4, and then on with the Mac starting in 2006 with (well, just before) Intel Core microarch. In those early days I was more Amiga, ST, etc. ( https://bytecellar.com/the-list/ )

I felt more spiritually connected to the MC68K line back when, for lack of a better term.

Amusingly the i386 system I spent the most time with was in college in 1993/4 on a Sun 386 tower running SunOS or Solaris in the APCS lab.

All this crying when they could have simply returned the product or not buy it at all. Colossal Order themselves warned about the performance before it was even released. There were plenty of reviews that said the same thing.

So to get up in arms about the performance means they are just being exceptionally stupid and entitled, and they should just grow up and stop crying over their toys.

Colossal Order can release whatever garbage they want to. And you can choose to buy it or not, or even buy it and return it (fight for better return policies if you want something positive).
To me, every instance of "house" in the above sentence sound the exact same and perfect ryhme with mouse. Neiher "house" or "to house" sounds like "hows".

I'm in the Southeastern Michigan area if that explains anything.

edit: Using barrkel's comparison in a sibling thread - "house" and "to house" are both howce and "hows" is "howz".

edit2: Further thinking leads me to conclude I have heard others use "howz" for "to house" around me and if I were speaking quickly that may be how I would say it. Just reading those sentences to myself internally at my own speed uses the howce.

I completely agree: his introductory mention of the importance of good numbers to inform policy got me hopeful, and then he ignored storage which is possibly the most critical constraint for high renewable penetration.

I’m hoping grid scale batteries follow a similar cost reduction to solar but the latest projects which have been built do not inspire confidence. But for some reason this issue is always hand-waved away by the most ardent proponents of renewables.

People treat this issue like a football match in that they cheer for their favourite team and ignore their failings.
