It sounds like you're starting from exactly the same bias that these researchers are attempting to correct. From earlier in that same paragraph:

> A shift from the medical to a more social model has also seen advocacy for it to be reframed as a difference, rather than a disorder or deficit

If you start from the presumption that autism is a disorder, you're more likely to identify difficulties, and less likely to identify strengths. And indeed, this article focuses on some strengths they identified by taking a different angle.

And the very next sentence after the one you quoted very clearly acknowledges that the strength the article discusses is directly related to a difficulty that autistic people have:

> Psychology and perception researcher David Simmons and colleagues at the University of Glasgow were the first to suggest that while high neural noise is generally a disadvantage in autism, it can sometimes provide benefits due to a phenomenon called stochastic resonance.

I was years ago brainstorming ways to improve physics education content, and explored linking to commercial/professional online material. So for instance, the glossy specs for a sump pump might mention a flow rate, and thus help develop a feel for reasonable values of volume transport, and for associated power etc. And also for pumps, and building moisture control. And provide a grounding "this stuff is real, used, useful, and applies to things in my life". And encourage curiosity and browsing.

Toy safety standards seemed an obvious candidate. Especially for younger kids and girls. And indeed, lots of fun bits turned up in such standards. Infant grip torque, pinching force, etc, etc. In paywalled "google temporarily turns up an unauthorized leak" "there's no way to link to this stuff" standards. Punted.

"Restorative Justice" is more bullying from authorities and taking time from the victim.

From your link: "Victims may help decide on the punishment for the person who harm them. They often get answers and an apology. Offenders might receive reduced sentences." -- how about increased sentences because of how the victim feels? No, it's all about going easier on offenders. All the authorities involved are pushing victims to "go easy" on offenders aka bullying, victimizing them once again.

> We only change our prices when our costs change, and after holding our price for bananas at 19 cents each for more than two decades, we’ve now reached a point where this change is necessary,

This seems unlikely. 19c is an extremely suspicious price, and costs exactly counterbalancing inflation for 20years, and then jumping 20% in one year is even more suspicious.

The idea that NIST is trying to weaken cryptography by regularizing TLS intercept at banks is tinfoil hat stuff. Not only were banks already doing this, but they literally tried to halt TLS 1.3 and re-add RSA key agreement to keep doing it. NIST is trying to minimize harm here.

As far as I can tell, the only rough awakening is that they paid $25m in 2023, that costs a fraction of that today, for even better performance.

Article gives a good overview, but skips a few key points:

1) Open ISAs have been around for a long time, notably for academic purposes. Many of those are just... simple. But not good jack-of-all-trades.

More recently, some existing ISAs with high-performance, commercial implementations were opened up (Sparc, Power).

2) A spiritual predecessor (MIPS) was fairly successful back in the day. And lives on in Loongson.

3) Gaining traction took several tries (see eg. OpenRISC). And the "V" has meaning.

So what's different with RISC-V?

a) It's actually very well-designed. Modular, with modern demands in mind but an otherwise 'boring' ISA cherry-picking the best features of successful, existing ISAs. And designed for practical applications & scale from microcontrollers to datacenters.

b) Tools used for early designs (simulators, FPGA boards, prototype silicon tapeout etc) have become much more accessible to hobbyists, universities, small startups etc. So the bar to join in & create implementations was far lower than say, 1..2 decades earlier.

c) Timing of its introduction was pretty good. Open source software became commonplace. Open hardware gaining ground. But a good, scaleable, open ISA was lacking.

Article emphasizes the "open" aspect heavily. But imho the reason industry jumped on it, was RISC-V bringing above factors together. $0.02 royalties/chip doesn't count, design flexibility + rapidly growing & maturing ecosystem does.
I don't entirely disagree with your point, and I see the real harm done here. But if I were a juror on this case, I'd have a really hard time being a part of taking away a full third of another human beings' life for what he did. There's no doubt that he knowingly did something wrong, he hurt people, and he deserves some level of punishment. But when I really think about what he did relative to the potential for 25 years in prison, that strikes me as barbaric.
I am puzzled by the concept of simultaneous sentences. Is "simultaneous" just a complicated way of saying "you get the max of the two numbers"? Because it's not like you're in a prison cell inside another prison cell. If I'm carrying 2 suitcases simultaneously, that's harder than carrying one at a time. But 2 prison sentences simultaneously is not harder than one sentence.

What does negative production mean to you here? I can run an incineration business or a demolition derby, as long as I get paid to do so. If that doesn't count as negative production (because I'm producing space or entertainment value; potentially at a loss to acquire market share), what does? If negative production is a physical impossibility, the claim that you can't run a business with it doesn't tell us anything about business.
There were plenty of people who were die-hard in favour of the Nazis' purges (and still are). There were loads of people opposed to women's suffrage (and still are). I don't know if there were objections to Magna Carta, but if there were, I'm pretty sure complacency due to fear wouldn't have been a major factor. And sure, there was lots of support for reform, in each case… but there's currently widespread support for (the idea of) taking positive action against climate change.

Today, there are people afraid that, if they engage in climate activism, they will be evicted from their homes, denied medical treatment, and left to starve to death. Several governments are labelling people 'extremists' for blocking traffic with their (somehow) non-violent protests, and enforcing laws against them that were originally designed for terrorism.

> I don’t want an authority that is so feared that the people are afraid to speak out against it or cannot be changed.

To be clear: I agree with this. But this definition of "authoritarianism" isn't compatible with what you were originally complaining about. Every action is an imposition of will on the universe: imposition of will is neither the main problem with, nor the characteristic feature of, authoritarianism.

His point is that "evolution by selection" also includes that transformers are easy to implement with modern linear algebra libraries and cheap to scale on current silicon, both of which are engineering details with no direct relationship to their innate efficacy at learning (though indirectly it means you scale up the training data for more inefficient learning).
Me too. I’m disappointed. Also, I very much doubt “no height limitations” as I have yet so see anything without limitations.

There's no necessary link from research into that, and blockchain in general, and the Proof of X style crypto blockchains specifically.

Can you point to some research of Waller? I've tried to find it to see if it's more directly related, but the only somewhat famous person under that name I can find is a historian, not an expert in computing related topics.

There's some interesting technology blockchains lean on (remember, git storage is a blockchain) but the value proposition of crypo currency blockchains (largely 0 trust) have so far not materialized outside speculative currency.

Which is partially due to misaligned incentives (the developers of e.g. game assets in the NFT case) where the party that would have to enable something do not have an incentive to give up controle.
The analogy doesn't hold. There is no country in the world that enshrines in its doctrines and laws the right for people to throw garbage anywhere they want. That's not a human right or a privilege for which people have fought and died.

But speech is.

You might argue that Twitter isn't the government and nobody should have an expectation of free speech there, or that Twitter is international and many developed countries have laws against hate speech.

However, "freedom to say things others don't like" is a thing people generally value or regret not having, in any country.

It's not unreasonable to celebrate the evidence that on Twitter it is alive and well.

This is one of the few topics (this being Twitter or anything Elon Musk-adjacent), where getting downvotes on HN is commonplace.

Mojo just open sourced their standard library. https://github.com/modularml/mojo/tree/nightly/stdlib

It's very interesting to browse, since it's a huge collection of (presumably) working tested example code doing mundane things using Mojo, which is extremely useful to browse when trying to figure out how to efficiently use the language. Similarly, browsing the implementation of the stdlib has helped me a lot with learning zig.
#2 is true of everyone. I'm not arguing against the kind of empathy you're describing, I just think we should extend it to all sorts of criminals. The murderer and rapist in the cell was screwed the moment they were born to dysfunctional, probably abusive parents. They have to fight hard to break the generational cycle.

All this means is that crime and violence are a systemic problem. Thinking about free will as the cause of crime isn't useful compared to thinking about how we might support and treat abused children and help them take a different path.

> If they couldn't stop the settlements, there was no self-governance.

Forgot absolute terms for a minute. The Oslo accords gave Palestinians more self governance than they had before. It was a step in the right direction.

The PA does have a form of self government over the Palestinians. It's not a full state, and I hope that we reach an agreement in which the Palestinians do get statehood, but we're not gong to get there by insisting that steps in the right direction are meaningless, and certainly not by increasing the amount of terror attacks to prevent the peace process.

> Whereas Baruch Goldstein and Yigal Amir were just peace loving dudes right?

No, of course not. They were terrible terrorists. In the case of Yigal Amir, he's sitting in jail where he belongs (Baruch Goldstein was beaten to death in the place he was attacking). Luckily Goldstein didn't derail the peace process, though Amir probably did.

> Do you feel that local Microsoft AI offerings will not be a meaningful part of collecting user data?

This ultimately depends on how Microsoft implements the AI -- if they use well-understood techniques such as federated learning[0] and differential privacy[1], there's a strong chance for Microsoft to offer useful features without the user sacrificing privacy.

Of course, the elephant in the room is that, since 10, privacy on Windows has taken a nosedive. I'm really not sure if they'd even want to spend the R&D work on doing things The Right Way.

> Or if you allow that they could, do you believe that MS will be steadfast in not sharing it?

There are good techniques for ensuring local AI (or "on-device AI"?) is private as of now, so I'm not sure.

EDIT: (Rising to yours, too!)

> Let's say you found a local MS AI product in front of you. Do you have confidence it would not be a meaningful part of collecting user data?

With the history of privacy on Windows, I would be very hesitant that it would preserve privacy without doing some serious in-depth analysis on it, to be honest.

this exactly. the freakonomics podcast (iirc, maybe the economist's money talks?) did a long form interview with the "emergency CEO" that was parachuted in when ftz filed for bankruptcy.

my big takeaway from that is that the books, when they existed, were a complete shitshow. the money ended up all being there, but it was so scattered that it's taken all this time to find it. an investment here, a forgotten wallet there. they lost billions the way normal people lose dollar bills or car keys.

ofc that doesn't mean there wasn't fraud happening. the fact that they intentionally faked reserve balances and treated alameda like a piggy bank and did gymnastics to hide it can't be ignored. but even that still smacks of hubris to me more than a Bernie Madoff type scam.

it was like sbf didn't think it would be an issue because he genuinely believed that it would never be an issue. eg "people just want to believe there's a reserve, so let's show them one. we don't actually need it tho because we're actual geniuses." or maybe "no one will ever look because we're in the Bahamas and the Bahamas loves us, needs us." or it could be simply "money solves all problems and we have infinite money".

A good resource for contemporary israeli discourse is the account @ireallyhateyou on Twitter.

I wouldn't reduce e.g. Operation Magic Carpet to rescue from persecution. The main zionist motivation was to expand the jewish population in Palestine.

Sure it does. It's The Jewish State. It's were jews belong, as famous zionist Joe Biden puts it, no jew would be safe unless it existed. Inbetween messages about 'death to arabs' the IDF puts up menorahs and paints the star of David when they're operating in the Gaza strip. In the Knesset they've tried to expel Ofer Cassif for defending international law over the religious fervour of the Likud and far-right settler parties.

> Our biggest problem is feature environments

I'm always baffled to see how many shops claim to either not have this problem, or sidestep it. Every project I've ever worked on has had multiple enhancements/fixes in flight at the same time, they need to be tested and deployed independently of each other, on their own timelines. For this we need story branches and a fast way of deploying different story branches to different test environments. If you're merging everything into kitchen-sink "dev", "staging", "test" branches because someone drank the Gitflow kool-aid, your confidence goes way down that a specific story branch is "ready to go" and that production will behave exactly like dev and test. And, as you mention, accomplishing the story-branch approach across multiple repos (assuming the change is large enough to affect multiple repos) sounds like swimming with crocodiles.

Traditional operating systems are extremely abstracted as well.
