> I have been told that Vonnegut wrote "Harrison Bergeron" as a kind of parody of right-wing thought about left-winger ideas of equality

Though I’ve heard that sentiment before, it seems unlikely, and when I looked very hard for a source, I never found anything remotely satisfactory. Barring something, anything from Vonnegut indicating otherwise, it seems reasonable to accept that he meant the story to be taken at face value.
> While it's ridiculous to expect that people will audit every single dependency and sub-dependency

It's not ridiculous at all. Professional programmers should answer for the dependencies they bring into their projects.
Yeah, thanks for including that
Honestly, a lot of what goes on with shooting, fighting, etc. just takes a certain suspension of disbelief that no guest gets killed or seriously hurt.
> The worst part is the chronic thinking that I could've/should've/would've done something amazing, if a single shit had been given at any point along the way.

Like what? Define amazing. Become the founder of some extractive start up? Write some bs science and gain a nobel prize? Be the best chess player?

My view is that you always have to put yourself together. Intellect is simply a factor, but so is honesty and the state of your heart. You can be very smart and you can still be stupid. You sound a bit resentful, but do you ever consider that your experience grants you the opportunity to lead life away from the well-travelled track to success, and do something personally and actually meaningful?
People who live in the US are usually less aware of how a lot of the international community perceives them as a bully. His view is very common and he finds it completely foreign that the US is even perceived this way.

A lot of people in the US view the US as the heroic peace keeper, and that all actions the US takes against China are for "world security" rather then an attempt to keep the top spot as the #1 economic and military super power.

It's weird because while there is freedom of the press in the US, many US citizens are still strangely misinformed and irrationally patriotic.

I'm not even clear about the mechanism at work here but there is a sort of strange form of control of information at play here. You can sort of sense it in US news. It's genius really how the media can be controlled despite amendments in place ensuring freedom of the press.
Oh and now that you have found a couple more instances, those were also ones that I was aware of but there definitely were not any others.

There are unfortunately a lot of hard workers who think credit magically appears when you are smart enough, valuable enough, etc., and that seeking appropriate credit is beneath their dignity. This attitude often nicely coincides with their complete lack of skill at sticking up for themselves.

There is no shame in shining a bit of light on your own value. Just don’t make it blazing sun pointing at a small accomplishment.
It helped that on 8 bit home computers BASIC was the OS and systems language, exposing the whole hardware, including having pointer like mechanisms, via PEEK, POKE, DATA, USR, PTR, among others.

Why she’s controversial? That’s easy, it’s because she repeatedly pushes theories that are not widely accepted and disagrees vocally with the direction that she thinks physics is going in. This means that almost every discussion of her devolves into “wow she is a genius who is speaking truth to an entrenched and rigid field” versus “she’s a crank that just says unsubstantiated stuff for popularity”. This means that any comment section that involves her is somewhat tiresome, honestly.
Malloc() and free() are a bad API (2022)
The systems-level analysis is fascinating. Why doesn't someone rewrite it to use less controversial terminology? Or err... would that would be comparible to a fig-leaf campaign?

Honestly what this needs is a more rigorous analysis. Such as a proof of maximum possible diversity given starting conditions and rules of movement.

However you'd probably prefer an analysis from socialogical standpoint, some ammo to discourage the more licentious posts.
> If everything zeroing out means there is no evil, wouldn't that also mean that there is no good?

As far as I understand the reincarnation philosophy, then, yes, there is no concept of good, because you can't have a concept of "good" without having the other end of the scale of "evil".

> I haven't looked into Hinduism too much myself but it's hard for me to not conceptualize "moving toward enlightenment" as good and "moving away from enlightenment" as evil.

I'm not a Hindu so I can't get into the weeds about this. What I remember from reading the religious texts (decades ago), such as the Bhagvhad Gita(sp?) is that "you do what you do, it will come back to you if it hasn't already".

The article assumes we will "soon" be able to simulate sentient, conscious experience.

The same is true for any lib. There is no guarantee even the largest lib will have everything you ever need. That's where new code comes from.
> What's the point of power if you have everything you want.

To those that seek power, it is an end, not a means.

And there is no limit to what people want. Indeed, it expands faster than real possibilities do. By the standards of a thousand years ago, even today's "poor" people live like kings. But that doesn't mean anything.

A "post-scarcity" society would resemble the society of today far more closely than most people realize.
I said “many”, not all. There’s plenty of leeway to listen to established experts on boring things. You don’t have to be at the cutting edge of every single field, all the time. Nobody needs to listen to controversial opinions about the shape of the planet.
They are hooking up potential buyers with private pricing info to help the buyer get a good deal, which makes the sale more likely and helps ensure Carta gets to take a nice cut.
I don't find the "we're in a simulation" argument convincing: Moore's law of exponential growth is bending into the S-curve dictated to all initially exponentially growing physical systems, and thus we will never have arbitrarily deeply nested simulations with atomic granularity on a planetary scale, to say nothing of a galactic or universal scale. Even more, were there containing universes with physical laws and resources sufficient to such simulations, the idea that the operators were teenage boys bored into cruelty is anthropomorphism at its most absurd.
Is there a similar search model the can find books based not on a vibe, but a on few descriptions of its content, from specific scenes to a more general description of its plot?
It is controversial if you are a free market supremacist like myself and believe that the market should be setting any and all prices. Removing market inefficiencies is what capitalism is all about and preventing the trading of pre-IPO shares seems like a very glaring inefficiency for setting the actual price of Linear.

It doesn't matter if it's legal. No founder in their right mind would use them if this is how they act. Many angels will not want to touch this. Many investors will be rightly pissed off.

But I also doubt that it is legal. I am not a lawyer but I'm sure over the next week plenty of lawyers will be reviewing the same documents that I have read, and it doesn't seem like this is above board.

I'm sure their legal team is scrambling to contain this before any discovery arrives.

Carta depends, critically, on it's reputation as a secure and trustworthy platform. By any measure they appear to have violated that trust.

When I was quite young and visiting my grandmother's home, I made a painting or drawing of Garfield. I was definitely not the artistic type and I had no training or guidance on drawing or coloring, but on that day I felt inspired, and pretty much reproduced that ugly fat cat without reference to an official image.

This must be the common case for practically any kid creating art these days; they are going to imitate commercial and copyrighted content that they are most exposed to. It just seems a natural thing to do, the unnatural course being that they come up with something beyond the Threshold of Originality.

I am scientifically minded (so much so that I was atheist for a long time due to biblical literalism) and I also believe God has no reason to lie or mislead us about things like the age of the earth or our side by side evolution with animals. The first 15 chapters of Genesis are Jewish poetry, not a literal account of creation. There are even two creation accounts, one right after the other, which contradict each other!

That no longer being an issue with my faith has helped my mental health immensely. I don't feel the painful cognitive dissonance I used to because the point Genesis is trying to get across is "God made everything and it wasn't hard for him, we can choose to do things he doesn't want us to do, and this tendency can lead to a lot of serious shenanigans. Then God promises stuff to Abraham."

To be fair to most Christians, they are not apologists and as most atheists will tell you have a very limited understanding of most points of their faith, let alone individual points of contention in the bible. So the only defense mechanism they have is withdrawing to literalism and flail too much to reevaluate. Then there's the ones who are apologists, and most of them online are downright annoying lol

Again, Violently Disagree! People who think Djikstra/Hoare/Boehm/other greats had not written much "code" to warrant being taken seriously and were "mere theorists" do not understand the first thing about Science/Research/Meta-whatever and Engineering/Implementation; the former is the bedrock on which the latter stands.

> wirth's achievements as a Scientist/Engineer/Technician/Programmer/Coder were because he took software seriously, the opposite extreme from the 'mere software' viewpoint

Not opposite, he was both a Scientist and an Engineer which is the source of his greatness. Languages/Compilers/OS/HDL/Processor design/Applications the man did it all.
I went with Pulley after a Carta sales rep called me out of the blue, on a number they must have scraped (or bought from someone who scraped) from an SEC filing, ignoring the do-not-call registry.
Questions the judge will decide.
I never said anything about preventing the trading. I said Carta should not steal information to set the price. Even a free market supremacist should understand the moral hazard of using stolen information to set prices.
I thought the performance thresholds they put in the law were supposed to express just that intent (i.e sell only second rate GPUs to China). If the real intent was to stop all GPU sales to China, why doesn't the law say so?

Very true. But there is probably something about the fact that traffic accidents are direct human error, usually, that make us more comfortable with the risk than the prospect of a systemic, corporate or technical error. Entirely irrational of course.
IIRC the strategy of Tesla was to start building very expensive EVs (Roadster, then Model S and X) to fund the build of cheaper options (Model 3 and Y), and the final target would be a mass market car affordable by everyone, maybe in the $20-25K range.
I would add "compatibility and stability across software upgrades" - I don't want games to break every year due to Apple's software updates (which usually fix critical security bugs.)

I believe that's an entirely different issue, tbh. There is no grand strategy or conspiracy behind dedollarization, just a path of least resistance for free and open trade.

Yes, seems like you can easily run out of stack with 256 bytes. Maybe they used their own secondary stack along with the hardware stack.

Specifically:

1. Make it easier to move between states.

2. Restrict knowledge of diversity - which flies in the face of bean-counters and their conventional wisdom.
The new link mentions "the first version from 2017", so I'm assuming this release is what Google considers version 2.
There are some places where a not-completely 90% transparent piece of glass might not raise too much suspicion, but it could be more difficult to retrofit with a more traditional "pinhole" style spycam.

Like the wall of a shower stall, which you would expect to be less than 100% transparent.

I do think this threat model is less likely, however.

What I think is more likely is a Minority Report style system where there are pervasive cameras everywhere, constantly scanning your face, etc.... Maybe not constantly scanning your retinas and identifying you that way, but facial recognition alone would be more than enough. Either way, once you're recognized, you could be easily tracked silently, or you could be called out publicly by a nearby display.
Removing the “good shit” from something?
These things are highly specific to certain places, namely the US.

Waiting in line to vote is unthinkable in much of Europe. And private schools with "better teachers" are a fringe phenomenon elsewhere. "Healthy" grocery stores are usually much more expensive, and people can't afford to buy from them just because they live nearby.

Of course, if you are ready to suffix the claim "diversity is good" with "...in the United States of America", that's fine. But my impression has been that people are trying to establish that diversity is good in principle. And I simply fail to see what theoretical argument supports that belief.

the empire state building is a bit more than an order of magnitude smaller than the great pyramid of khufu, if you go by weight

that's why it can be taller, was built much faster, and has much more room inside. also, it has served its intended purpose, while as far as we can tell, khufu's pyramid failed to make him immortal; this is because it was based on flawed theories

wirth's work should be an inspiration to see if we can make systems that are many times smaller, maybe many orders of magnitude smaller, than the systems we are unfortunately currently forced to maintain; and yet are more powerful than those systems

Considering that I the first, second, third, …basically every result for a search of “Elon Musk sexual assault” references the incident in question, your claim that you have no idea what I’m talking about either shows that you’re playing dumb or not willing to do a single search to look up what other people are talking about. Why are you surprised when people push back on you saying he’s basically a great guy? Of course you’ll have that viewpoint if you ignore everything that points to the opposite being true or just never look at it. If you’re going to make the argument that Elon just has gamer moments or is constantly being vilified by the media I think that’s also completely false but at least it’s possible to respond to. If you’re going to go “look I don’t even know what you’re talking about” I don’t see how there’s anything more to discuss.
You could just use a spreadsheet. The reason I pay for cap table management software is that it’s the easiest way to get a 409(a) valuation, which is something pretty much every US startup needs annually and open source couldn’t replace.

(I looked at getting a 409(a) valuation separately and the best prices were more than cap table software that bundled one.)

My observation is simply that giving credit to community-minded scientists costs nothing, but giving credit to psychopaths with the Kings ear can cost everyone their lives. There are always problems with a Meritocracy, as someone eventually has to define what has merit.

> In what sense? In that customers may stop using Carta? If so they probably will not suffer the consequences that badly

Are you saying Carta doesn't give a fuck about their customers? Wow, lol. You (ironically?) hit the nail on the head.

Anyway, they're not pissing off just the ones you see directly affected here, each one of those will likely advocate against them in his/her own circle, and any business they might be involved with in the future. Also, these discussions and this incident, will live on the internet forever. Carta's brand, and their CEO's reputation will remain tainted, no matter how trivial you might view this, and it will be a golden edge for their competitors.

They'll experience the power of the almighty Word-of-mouth marketing but going downhill.
