I agreed with you (see my comment I wrote before I saw yours). I’m hoping there is some thought put in on when this particular approach is used. I had a boss who asked for detailed docs and said he needed it to include pictures. He did not really need the pictures but it was very useful when communicating. Was it slightly deceitful? Yes. But it was also quite useful.
If it were just a standalone tool it wouldn't affect the licencing of the project, but it's not a tool, it's a software library, so projects using the library need to follow the terms of the GPL.

The tricky part here is that it's a library that produces graphs which themselves aren't covered by the terms of the GPL. The intent of the tool seems to be that you use it to produce graphs during development for benchmarking or during research or whatever where the tool is internal but the graphs aren't necessarily internal, in which case the licence of the library is mostly irrelevant as the GPL is mostly concerned with distributing software to other users of said software, not the output of the software, but if you later choose to want to release that tool it really aught to follow the terms of the GPL and be under a licence compatible with the GPL, so the note about it being a GPL licenced library is completely valid. You should use a more permissive LGPL/MIT/BSD/whatever licenced library like benchit if you don't want to have to think about this sort of stuff.

A couple of friends do a 1-player (and 1 GM) game in the Chronicles of Darkness setting (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_Darkness). It focuses a lot on mystery and investigation so it seems to scale pretty well to differing group sizes. While I don't play in that game, I assume there is still much of the usual prep work done on the GM side so it may not quite fit what you're looking for.

1. I don't 100%, but video evidence and multiple sources helps a lot.

2. Managers typically have a handful of direct reports that they can check and trust. Also, managers can fire their employees on the spot, reduce their pay etc. You have nowhere near that level of control over your representatives, and you have many more representatives than any normal manager has direct reports.

3. While I trust my direct reports and employees, I very much occasionally verify that their work is being done. I don't need to design a widget myself: I can find out if the widget works or not by checking how well it holds up, what the QA department finds and so on.

Not exactly, but almost. Five years in and around midtown east, then 7 years in astoria, now 13 years in midtown east. Not the same apartment, obviously, but same enough that I pass by the same places that I was passing by back in 1998.

In my experience, the places that were sketchy back then in Manhattan are still sketchy today, but the radius of sketch is much smaller and the demarcation line much brighter.

To use your examples, I agree that bushwick today is grittier than BH in 2000, but my impression is that it compares similarly to, say, avenue C in 2000, where there were hipster bars and restaurants popping up, but it was still considered less safe than the area around washington square park. I don't live in bushwick, though, so I'm sure its an imperfect comparison.
There are a couple problems with that approach.

1. That is likely to exceed the maximum length allowed for the form fields you have to use to enter it on web pages or in apps.

You might find that on the page where you initially set it up the page silently truncated it to say 1000 bits, and that's what got stored on the server. But the page where you need to use it for password recovery handles 1500 bits, and the form in their app only handles 500.

So you cannot get it to work in the app no matter what, and can only use it on the recovery page if you somehow figure out that only 1000 bits are on the server and truncate to that yourself.

2. Some places use the same security questions when you phone support. The support person asks you one of the security questions and can read the answer from the database. They compare that to what you tell them over the phone.

You probably don't want to go through that with a random 4096 bit string.

I guess it depends on the situation ... if you are avoiding lengthy discussions with bank tellers about how you can "just do this yourself" when they are getting paid to, in part, provide this service; seems fine.

If you are doing this so that your co-workers end up having to do parts of your job ... maybe it's not a good thing.

My bet is that in 2124 we will be able to use our eyes to read the original paper documents but we won't be able to read the 2024 digital copies anymore, unless we keep migrating them to the next standard.

Furthermore the servers (hw+sw) are not for free and all government projects use to cost more than market prices.

>It's clearly not as procuring another SIM card from another carrier requires actual effort and money that is by no means guaranteed to be available for everyone

Setting up an email/mastodon/matrix server requires effort and money. You either need to self host which requires a local internet connection, electricity, and ideally a static IP none of which are guarantee. If you host at a hosting company it costs money.

>(And in some countries there is an ID check or other legal obligations/contracts must be signed.)

Hetzner and other hosting companies require IDs as well. I wouldn't be surprised if in some countries you have to have an ID to get internet.

>And even then the new SIM card still won't allow the phone to connect with any of the proprietary cellular towers and antennas for normal usage, only emergency situations.

A mastodon server won't connect with a proprietary protocol so it seems like it is the same boat? It won't even connect in emergency situations!

>This is not federated in any sense.

Seems exactly the same. There are just far more gatekeepers when it comes to carriers.

> I'm taken aback by what you seem to suggest though; Would you seriously claim that most new projects ARE using PHP?

No. I didn't say that, and we need to clarify what you meant originally to make sense here.

When you say "most people wouldn't start a project in php", there are two ways to interpret "most" in that sentence: "the majority of" (ie 50%+) or "nearly all of" (ie a much higher percentage). Both are accepted definitions for "most".

I assumed you meant the latter: ie "nearly everyone would not start a project in php", which is what I disagree with, because the former makes little sense in context.

If you did in fact mean "a majority of people would not start a project in php" then of course I agree because that sentence can be substituted to mention any programming language in existence and still be true, because none are ever so dominant over all others in terms of popularity, that more than half of all new projects are written in said language.
> He did not really need the pictures but it was very useful when communicating

"Need" is a pretty amorphous word. He may not have needed pictures to understand the docs at all, but he could be said to have needed pictures to understand the docs in the timeframe he had available. Calling it deceitful feels untrue to me. I would only say it's deceitful if the intended use of the pictures was something other than understanding, like he wanted to steal them for another purpose.
I kind of agree, but given the amount of locking[1] that would entail, the drop-off in performance would have those self-same users squalling about how slow it was . And then they had rewrite everything with a (NOLOCK) without understanding the implications are even worse ("hey guys, I put this hint everywhere and things run really fast now!"). I know this because I've seen it.

IIRC Jim Gray said that Repeatable Read is 99% of Serialisable anyway, all serialisable does is hide phantoms.

> When Scott illustrates the Solomon conversation in section I, he's clearly talking about two largely overlapping categories which have different groundings and those groundings are precisely the cause of the disagreement.

But the author is clearly aware of this; he just doesn't call it grounding. So your argument seems to be "rationalists aren't thinking about this correctly because they're not using the correct words that other people invented". Which I find deeply ironic given the subject of the post.

A useful take might be "the difference between Soloman and the biologist is sometimes called grounding; here's some more info on it". But instead your take was "Rationalists are going on about something they don't understand and need to read more philosophy", which is arrogant and wrong. Nobody needs to read more philosophy; it does not actually help you think about the world in any way.

Taking the first two sentences of your first link:

> Consider the following claim: the truck drivers are engaged in a labor strike in virtue of picketing. What sort of claim is this?

Who cares what sort of claim it is? Seriously? Why is that at all a useful question to ask? Here we are talking about categories and whether they're useful, and that link is saying "it's very very important that we categorize this claim correctly". No, it's not. That question does not help anyone come to the correct conclusion about life in any way. And then you come along with an addendum "and if you can't correctly categorize this claim, then you should not be discussing rationality." Come on.
I'm just a lost epistemologist seeking truth in whatever dirty alleyway I find myself in.

Values don't come from logic. My values can be:

- The greatest good for the greatest number, where good is defined by happiness

... by self-growth

... by adherence to a code of behavior

- Loyalty to family and country

- Improve humanity by euthanizing inferior individuals

- Save the environment from humanity

- Subjugate the environment for humanity

... and so on. Those have no logic behind them. They're just values. They're arbitrary.

Logic comes in after that, in what you do from there.

I was in the beta test for the AI assistant plugin but in my work I only used it 2 or 3 times from curiosity, for me at that time the AI could not help, maybe in future when it can understand the entire project then it would make more sense.

In that case it's sort of accurate, particularly the "let him" part. The re-negotiation of NAFTA was a piece of political theatre initiated by Trump. In the end they resulted in essentially the same deal as before, which is what the Canadians wanted, but they needed to throw him a few bones he could hang "victory" off in speeches. Hence "let him" (perhaps "steer him" ?)

The whole thing was a colossal waste of time and money, with Trump starting from "worst deal in history" type rhetoric to "amazing new deal" after its signed, but you have to squint pretty hard to find differences.
I fully agree that the self-reporting in this (alleged?) study is suspect. I've been accused of being a corporate shill many times on reddit just for voicing an opinion contrary (or even just partially contrary) to the bulk of the thread. This seems to be a lot of people's favorite way of dismissing dissenting opinions (accusing dissenters of being trolls is still a close second, though), and it's likely that it makes other people believe it's actually true when a few people start accusing dissent of being corporately motivated in that way. It's such a common occurrence that I refuse to comment in most larger subreddits. Smaller subreddits are much more reasonable, in my experience.

Of course it is. But religions make mutually exclusive objective claims. Metaphysics has nothing to do with it.
I think that Metal or something is actually a built in graphics/matrix accelerator that those Macs have now. It's not really using a CPU although it seems like Apple may be trying to market it a little bit as though it's just a powerful CPU. But more like accelerator integrated with CPU.

But whatever it is, it's great, and I hope that Intel and AMD will catch up.

AMD has had the APUs for awhile but I think they aren't at the same level at all as the new Mac acceleration.
