Said the human, apparently blithely unaware and certainly dismissive of any possible bias.

The infinite animals, on the other end, made no such genocidal claims. In fact, on the whole, they were about 100% less fond of ethnic cleansing than the hairless apes.

Not satisfied with continuing their perverse murder of the biosphere, the apes regularly turned on their own also, inventing ever-more horrifying methods of doing so. This didn't seem to register on the human who proclaimed such inherent value in human life in the slightest.

In fact, at that current moment multiple genocides were happening, some of them with the full-throated support of that human's voted-for government. Some 40% of citizens and 90+% of politicians and media figures were not only ignoring said mass murder, but in fact paying for it.

You might find this hard to belive, Xanthrax, but these humans are so thoroughly convinced of their superiority by an effect they themselves have identified and named: the Dunning-Kruger effect.

It's hard to know if the person saying that about Putin is a plant for propaganda or if he really was being honest. He could be unknowing be spreading misinformation to benefit Putin and I could be doing the same quoting what the man said.
> Of what use is a filesystem with many empty files? You could use it to benchmark things that do things to all the files in a directory tree. For example, what is the fastest way to list all those files? Delete them? Back them up? Create an archive file with all of them?

This can be useful up to a point. But be careful of over optimizing for the pathological case at the expense of typical usage. Most of the listed operations are usually done on a small number of files. And even when they seem a lot to the user it's still a teeny tiny fraction of one billion.

And that's before we even mention directories.
> They’re vocally aiming to take the whole of Ukraine

Putin (following Dugin) has expressed the goal of building a Russian empire stretching from Vladivostok to Lisbon. I suppose that's just sabre-rattling; but Leningrad is very exposed, at the end of a long land corridor bordered on either side by NATO members. I'm convinced he hopes to dominate all the land between Russia and the Baltic.

How? How US can be loosing a war it doesn't fight in? It's the same as saying that North Korea is loosing against Ukraine because they deliver ammunition to Russia. A fallacy.

And even if you'd want to use that metric. How exactly loosing zero US personnel at the cost of getting a real-life assessment of NATO combined mobile warfare against the Soviet artillery superiority doctrine is a lose situation for US?

I never had direct contact with John Walker. Outside of family and friends, the Autodesk founders probably had the biggest impact on my life.

In 11th grade, I submitted a grant application on behalf of my school. I wanted to draw molecules. My teacher (for our voc tech program) gave me the blank paperwork and said "go for it".

Some time later, two NEC APC III showed up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APC_series#APC_III Running AutoCAD. On 8" floppy media. The manuals were in 3-ring binders. Hot damn, I loved those computers. So much better than the more common IBM PC-XT. I'd take portions of the manuals home over night to study.

One of the upgrades featured AutoLISP. Version 2.17b? That really lit my fire. Like LOGO turtle on steroids or something.

I eventually published some shareware using AutoCAD/AutoLISP. Pretty good money for a kid.

AutoCAD, AutoShade, AutoSOLID, AutoFlix (Animator), HP plotters (using drafting pens and inks), transition from sneaker-net to LANs... Truly mind blowing stuff. Democratizing all that high-end workstation stuff (eg Apollo) for us normies.

Autodesk begat an entire ecosystem from scratch. Dealer channels, third party add-ons and utilities, conferences, magazines, curriculum, consultants, custom graphics cards (and drivers), huge CRTs, crazy variety of input hardware (pen tablets and chorded keyboards), etc, etc.

Helluva an achievement.

Thanks John Walker. RIP.
Which file system is best optimized to deal with a huge number of tiny files?
There's a cultural dimension.

In general south europe culture it is normal to drink wine to food, and enjoy it, but also embarrassing to get publically drunk.

Whereas in northern europe, though, it's all beer or spirits and the aim is to get as drunk as possible as quickly as possible.

These generalisations are based on my own observations. There's doubtless a lot of variation.

A lot of cosmology rests on far less stable ground than most might realize. So for instance the big bang was hypothesized by observing than everything is expanding. So if you roll back the tape then it seems obvious that everything must have been closer. Roll it way back and you get the basic foundation of the idea.

So one natural consequence of this explosion would be the cosmic microwave background radiation, the radiant heat left after the explosion. And we do observe that! Kind of... The thing is, it's nothing like what we expected. When we look at the CMB it's extremely homogeneous, everywhere. The reason this is a problem is because areas that are not causally connected (could not have reached each other at the speed of light, since the beginning of the universe) actually seem to be causally connected. We would expect to see a much more heterogeneous universe after a big bang.

So we resolved this by inventing cosmic inflation. [1] The idea is that somehow, shortly after the big bang, everything just sped up dramatically - well past the speed of light. And then it slowed down. And then started accelerating again in a fashion similar to what we currently observe. If you assume this, then we can get the big bang to match what we observe. But there's no causal mechanism or anything of the sort proposed. It's literally just retrofitting a hypothesis to avoid having it falsified, an ad hoc hypothesis. [2]

Inflation does fit what we see quite well, but it's untestable, unfalsifiable (especially given the ad-hoc nature of its own existence), and the predictions its offered to date were not particularly unexpected, given the homogeneity of the CMB.

Nice hit piece that looks like written by someone deeply invested in chemical batteries (or going mercenary for patrons who are). But his dismissal of mine shafts omits some important parts: when you have a mine, you don't just dangle a mass from an elevator winch, you fill the entire volume at the low end with ballast while discharging and get all that mass up again when charging. That's a many orders of magnitude difference in capacity versus the naive block-on-a-winch approach. And you don't just operate one winch with a Very Large Rope, you form a bucket-brigade of identical, cheap, short loops with a good handover mechanism. Or you equip the shaft with a pair of linear induction motors all the way up/down if you'd rather go solid state.

We have used this with recent Intel GPUs that support SR-IOV. This is what you see in the video on the cyberus website. Intel hasn't managed to upstream the drivers for this yet and you have to piece together things, which is very unpleasant. But we are there to help, if someone wants to use this in a professional setting.

We used to have support for Intel GVT-g GPU virtualization as well, which was more of a software solution. This doesn't work with modern Intel GPUs anymore.

It highly depends I guess. A 12 minute drive in peak hour in Melbourne on one of the walks I used to take was about 50 minutes of walking. At a different time of day, about 1hr and 50 mins of distance (using Google Maps to find examples).

Granted an hour of walking each way isn't necessarily doable. But that same track can be done in about 25 mins on a bike, probably less on an e-bike.

For it to be a good example, I'd make some changes. As one example, there are a few places where stderr is thrown away in an error and substituted for a very generic failure message. And some where the failure is assumed to be something that it may not be.

My quirk is being phoneless. I have an android phone, but unless I'm flying, it stays at home, in a drawer.

People were confused by 1,000 songs in your pocket when we already have radio, or the Internet on a tiny crappy LCD screen with a dog slow connection when it's much easier to read on a desktop CRT and ISDN or DSL line.

It is strange to see people assuming blame already given how vague the article is. Even if it turns out that the bike broke a rule, it is possible that the collision was easily avoidable by the car. I am suspicious of the car because self-driving cars do not have a great reputation for dealing well with unusual situations. And how unusual is a situation? Anything that is not a car, truck, or bus doing something in the road?

Maybe self-driving cars are too dumb. How many specific types of "unusual" interactions with bikes, walkers, kids, dogs, etc., will each self-driving car AI model need to encounter to build up a large enough training set to learn to avoid a collisions for a specific type of interaction.
Will there need to a training set of thousands of crashes or near misses of every precise combination of interactions that can occur with non-negligible global frequency in order for any self-driving car model to avoid collisions that a perfectly attentive, smart, and instant-to-react person would avoid? or do the models allow fuzzy predictions of what (for example) a bike might do even in cases where the model does not comprehend that a particular blob is a person on a bike.

Well, yes, but the "real world" might have infinite dimensions, and the only reason we don't is because we're near the bottom of an infinitely high stack.

The problem with trying to make assumptions like these is that without "outside knowledge" we're stuck trying to postulate limitations based on a world that might well be a result of the "outside world" taking liberties for the sake of computability of their simulation.

The original simulation hypothesis took simplifying steps for the sake of "selling it" that at the same time makes it easier to attack. E.g., the "ancestor simulations" presumes some degree of similarity between those running a simulation and the subjects of the simulation, but there's no reason for us to presume that simulations of our own past would dominate sufficiently if we gain the ability to simulate worlds that we can assume that anyone running "our" simulation if we are in one would represent our "descendants".

Beyond not knowing if "our" physics reflects anything resembling the complexity of a containing simulation, we also need to presume a whole lot of things about "our" simulation to assume that it is expensive/complex to run. A small selection of such assumptions:

1. That the simulation actually simulates the whole of "our" universe.

2. Or even a significant part of it.

3. And that it simulates a long time period

4. Or even more than a single moment over and over.

5. That the world outside our individual mind exists

6. That there aren't all kinds of other crude shortcuts (chunks despawning and serializing differences from base simulation whenever nobody "interesting" observes it, etc.)

7. That we can know there aren't crude shortcuts because we're not seeing any. See 3, 4, 5, plus maybe the only reason "our" simulation is running is because nobody has spotted any shortcuts and triggered kill switches yet ("oh no, another experiment contaminated; time for a reboot")

8. As a variant on 5, that other people, or any significant number of people, exist, and make pruning the simulation computational budget hard.

You can come up with an endless number of these. We can perhaps start to make some very vague guesses about some very generic qualities of a simulation, but the'd largely be in relation to qualities of a hypothetical "outside" that we don't know the qualities off. E.g. it may be reasonable to assume that our physics would either be no more complex than theirs or that our simulation would be strictly limited in scope, be it time, space, fidelity. But that wouldn't tell us much.

From a scientific point of view, this makes the entire hypothesis rather pointless, unless we run head-first into extremely clear signs we are in one. But from a philosophical point of view it's what makes it fun to think about consequences.

Doesn't change a thing. Convenience doesn't matter. Owning a subscription and then subsequently pirating an illegal version (which I'm positive it's not all you're doing) doesn't mean fuck all. I own it, I want you to obtain said media through one venue. That's my fucking right. Even if that venue makes you jump through 30 hoops doesn't mean shit. You don't jump through the hoops your a fucking thief.

I'm the one who truly doesn't give a shit. How else can I criticize myself? I pirate without guilt. I recognize my crime but someone like you has to make up some fantasy in order to live with himself.

What gets me is when that fantasy not only validates your actions, but condemns the party you fucking stole from. That's a freaking joke. That's the epitome of delusional.

> Humans are not important, we are a fault to this world.

No other plant or animal is important either. Nature doesn't give a shit about any of us. The ability to actually care about abstract concepts like the suffering of others is a rare trait in the animal kingdom. Humans have it. Maybe some primates and cetaceans have it. Otherwise animals are quite content to rip each other apart in the most cruel ways possible for food. I assure you, a lion does not lose any sleep over the suffering of the gazelle.

This alone makes humans a little special, no?

I know people like to criticise Spotify's UX/UI but whenever I'm using Apple Music on my partner's devices (she has AM, I'm on Spotify) it's a quite marked difference in snappiness of the UI, Apple Music for some reason has the same weird loading behaviour that the App Store suffers from (and sometimes even fucking System Settings on macOS goes through), and I can't understand how Apple can drop the ball that much in their own platforms...
