This always confused me as well. It’s all nature in the end - your genes will react to a certain environment in a certain way. Of course we have some control over environment so it’s worth making the nature vs nurture distinction, but how you react to an environment is predetermined. Not that we can easily predict any of this given the staggering complexity.

Additionally, what’s the deal with the almost doublespeak in the article? The author plainly states that genes aren’t code, but then goes on to say they’re just more complex code.

The reason this "myth" exists is not because a so-called "tech" company is listening. That is difficult to prove (or disprove). The "myth" exists because it is possible for a so-called "tech" company to listen. The reason people imagine that the company is listening is because it could in fact be listening. And it could do so without the computer owner ever discovering the audio surveillance. What's funny is that the advertising-related manipulation of what the computer user sees on their screen is so personalised that a computer owner could start to believe that the so-called "tech" company is listening. These so-called "tech" companies do not announce to the computer owner how much data they are collecting or what they have collected. They may as well be collecting audio data without notifying the computer owner. The data collection they perform is intentionally outside the computer owner's awareness.
You get an American-centric perspective, which is of course the correct one.
DSPs already do something like this, offering the option of saturating arithmetic operations, in addition to the normal modulo arithmetic. It's the operation that's special, not the representation in memory.

The normal way to do it is to use the "ETSI Basic Operator" library, which provides saturating arithmetic operations, among other things [1]. If the hardware supports saturated arithmetic the compiler maps the operations to the relevant instructions, otherwise it provides a software implementation.

Example:

Modulo arithmetic: int16_t a,b,c; a = b + c;

Saturating 16-bit arithmetic using ETSI: int16_t a,b,c; a = add(b, c);

>…WordPress is still more than 1/3 of the web…

Why still? WordPress, like jQuery, is awesome. It's an incredibly powerful and easy open source CMS. I hope it takes more of the Web.

And if you're gonna defend the decentralization of the Web (and I do), it's hard to find a better argument than “just buy a domain and install WordPress”.

Statisticians really like using dry descriptions that often border on euphemistic in their work, not unlike psychologists. I think this reads to them as more objective or serious.

That said, figures I can find about how many starve to death in a year seem to hover around 10-15k, which would make up about half to a third of a percent of deaths per year (though with the COVID-19 pandemic recent numbers of total deaths are still somewhat higher than before it started)

This is a pretty conservative estimator for what we might colloquially consider "starvation", because there are a lot of deaths in which severe malnutrition is a significant factor, but are not attributed to starvation as a cause of death. But even if we treat it as a perfect proxy, it's a lot more than zero. 10k people per year are just holding the perfectly adequate socialist machine we apparently already have fully operational and available to anyone who doesn't simply desire to starve, wrong

Writing by Hand Is Good for Your Brain
I am wildly uneducated on this topic, but I don't know if the concept of "impersonally better" makes sense when extended as far as "it would be impersonally better if none of this ever existed." I guess I can buy that "impersonally better" might be intelligible if there is some subjective experience to ... experience it, but in a universe with no consciousness how could we say any state of affairs is better than another?

As for this question:

> What amount of pathos, pleasure, love, beauty, could justify the life and suffering of even one person who say, was raped and murdered in childhood?

I'm not really in the business of doing these sorts of utilitarian calculations, and I think this back-and-forth is a great example of why I don't think they lead anywhere useful. But it seems to me that you could make the same argument as Parfit above in reverse.

If someone led an essentially perfect life for 100 years, filled with all the things we all agree make life good, but then was subjected to 30 seconds of torture and then murdered, that's still a good life on net, and I think you'd be hard pressed to make a serious argument that those 30 seconds of intense suffering at the end are terrible enough to make that life not having been worth living.

So, by the same kind of induction that Parfit does above, it seems you could contrive a situation where the vast amount of universal conscious flourishing being experienced by, let's say, quadrillions or consciousnesses would "outweigh" the suffering of however many millions of apes it took to get there.

And even in the particular case of a horribly murdered child, is it universally true that no life ending in that manner could have been worth the suffering at the end? If a child lives ten wonderful years with loving parents, doing all the best things a child can do, but then dies horribly, can we be sure that life wasn't worth living? That it would be better on net had it never happened?

I'm not sure, and like I said, I don't typically go in for arguments that work on this basis. I'll admit that's probably partially because they feel distasteful, but I think there's also an intuition worth examining that those types of arguments don't really work, that they miss something critical about subjective experience when we try to sum up all the goods and bads of a life into some metric that can assign that life into a bucket of "worth living" or "not worth living."

tl;dr - I'm not convinced, and I'm happy I exist.
Sure. I'm just trying to discuss a personal experience, not give referrals to a third party business. I'm also not that hard to find... if people wanted to reach out personally, that is fine too.
Some disagree because almost all miners underclock and run under close to ideal temperature to increase efficiency per watt. So it might turn out to be a deal because it was better treated than a random gamer

> These are the same thing. The only way to demonstrate the efficacy of a vaccine is if the control group gets sick, otherwise there can't be a relative improvement.

That's simply not true. A vaccine efficacy study specifically validates how well the introduction of a vaccine prevents disease, it does nothing to show the specific link between disease and the pathogen itself.

Prior studies are needed to link the pathogen to disease, and the most accurate way to do this is to first isolate the pathogen then show that introducing it to a novel population recreates the disease. After symptoms show up, if the pathogen can again be isolated from the newly infected hosts you have a pretty strong case for causation. Moving on to reproducing the results in follow up studies would go a long way. At that point you know the likely pathogenic cause and can move on to developing a vaccine based on that pathogen and run efficacy studies to see how well the vaccine works to prevent infection, disease, or transmission.

Am I the only one left with a deep distrust of ChatGPT? It still lies ("hallucinates"), doesn't it? And no, I will not accept a rebuttal that says, "well everyone lies" because no, not everyone is as confidently wrong as ChatGPT. It's doesn't qualify statements with, "I was told..." or, "some believe..." or, "I'm not sure but it might be..." It just flat out lies. People are enthralled with this tech when they should still be very very skeptical.

Well, let's hope the "computers are magic" riff-raff never show up at the design reviews. Especially if they expect someone to explain to them the basics of computing without any reasonable offer of compensation in return.

If those people show up here and put on a tantrum by pressing random buttons or whatever it was that you were trying to point out... Oh well? I wouldn't have even noticed if you didn't bring it up.

What value you found in calling attention to their pointless tantrums is an interesting mystery, though!
I set this up a few years ago and now that time has passed I'm not confident enough to claim what exactly led me to that conclusion. I never got around to setting up a second pi-hole server which is what led me to click on the article above. 3 years in and I've never had a blip in service so I just haven't prioritized it.

I did go and test this now, and agree with you. On macOS I set my primary DNS to pi-hole and secondary to 8.8.8.8. running dig on api.segment.io (blocked on pi-hole by default), it resolved to 0.0.0.0 via pi-hole and did not try 8.8.8.8 on any attempt. So my earlier comment is incorrect above and setting a secondary DNS server as a back-up may work.
Well growing up I got a Slovenian-centric perspective. Except in elementary and middle school it was still a little Yugoslavian-centric because we hadn’t yet quite decided what we wanted to highlight. Very interesting transformation to observe in real time.

With a half-life of 12 years and the time interstellar voyages take, you can just let your tritium sit around for a while. (In addition to what the other comment said about separation actually being relatively easy.)

Depending on your fusion reactor, you might actually highly value any tritium produced, instead of seeing it as a nuisance.

> Your fuel still gets consumed, so you still can't rely on your fuel as the main form of shielding. Towards the end of your journey, your rocket is approximately 0% fuel. And at the point of highest speed, before you start decelerating, it is roughly 50% fuel.

With a nuclear engine you make a difference between fuel and propellant. When you fuse your hydrogen into helium, you still have the helium afterwards.

I haven't run the numbers to see how your fuel consumption would compare to your propellant consumption for a reasonable fusion powered rocket. Though I suspect that you also need oodles of propellant, given how the rocket equation works.

For the first part of your journey you could rely on passive shielding via your propellant. For the latter part, you could use more costly active shielding like a big magnetic field or ablative shields in front of your main rocket etc.

Basically, you would still want to use your propellant as free shielding as much as possible.

It does make mistakes, but it gets stuff right enough to be worth it. And if you catch it in a lie, you can just tell it and usually it will correct itself.

To me, it is like a junior developer. It does the bulk of the work and whenever there is an issue, you can tell it like in a code review to fix a particular piece. Look past the confidence level and focus on the work product.

Remember, it doesn’t need to always be accurate. It doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to outperform the alternative (passable job here) for the price paid (amazing value here).

If we're allowed to use computing analogies here, would it be fair to say the old model is more like how we view a standard CPU and the new model is more like a FPGA? Where the old model viewed genes in a more classic reductionist approach as CPUs, arranged and static logic waiting for input from the environment and impressing on the environment in such a deterministic way. While the newer model analogy, genes act as an FPGA, an array of gates with potential to adapt to input imposed upon them with this bi-directional synchronicity of environment impressing on genes and genes therefore impressing on environment?

It seems as fields mature we move further away from classic reductionism and encompass more a holistic approach, a path gravitating towards objectivity which I find interesting from a philosophical perspective.

I see you're trying to do multi-arch builds. At reasonable (on bare metal) speeds you say?

Delete the entire docker stack. It's utter shite. Then install Podman and Buildah, and rejoice! For all the evil buildx magic can now be done explicitly.

This solution was born when trying to do native builds on CircleCI - where you do not have a buildx cluster with multiple architectures. You have to build the archs as independent build steps, then pull them together afterwards. This is something that Docker never considered, and Docker only functions on the happy path. Buildah has multiarch manipulation commands: https://danmanners.com/posts/2022-01-buildah-multi-arch/ (not a plug, first blog on search)

We migrated to GHA, but still use separate builders to avoid the Docker trite. We also ditched DCT (Docker signing) for Cosign because - again - DCT is home-grown garbage.

You’re arguing that a younger audience would never care for what critics have to say, in which case, Pitchfork was doomed to die regardless of the choices they made: if you’re not bringing in a new audience, you’re dying, because of churn.

Perhaps wokeness hastened the loss of the old audience but evolving to meet the changing tastes of your potential audience is important, otherwise, you’re setting a date for your death.

That said, I don’t think it was a cynical attempt to ride a trend but rather evolution in response to the writers and editors evolving in their understanding of music and the world. After all, Pitchfork was always a representation of the tastes of the writers and editors. Of all the people you’d expect to be at the forefront of cultural evolution, writers about culture are up there.
