For the sake of argument, let's assume that Hamas uses children as human shields

Does that make it okay for Israel to kill 13,000 children... ?

Sure, I can understand Israel accidentally killing 1 or 2 children. Maybe even accidentally killing 10 children.

But 13,000 ?

It is hard to comprehend accidentally killing 13,000 children.
Am I reading that right? It sounds like they’re outlawing advertising (“Cognitive behavioural manipulation of people”), credit scores (“classifying people based on behaviour, socio-economic status or personal characteristics”) and fingerprint/facial recognition for phone unlocking etc. (“Biometric identification and categorisation of people”)

Maybe they mean specific uses of these things in a centralised manner but the way it’s written makes it sound incredibly broad.

Yes, that's correct. In the Linux kernel, it would not be possible to switch to MPTCP by default.

But apps can use it by default. For the server case, it really makes sense: https://www.mptcp.dev/faq.html#why--when-should-mptcp-be-ena...

GNU/Linux distributions could even switch MPTCP on by default (via eBPF).
Another point overlooked is that the main focus of the article cites fewer people per household, then discounts things like AirB&B, which directly contributes to this statistic. It seems like a casual dismissal of the statistic, painting it as simply no one having children.

> Take away the tourists and they have no economy and no jobs.

Nobody is arguing to take away tourism. They are arguing against it's unsustainable growth. The industry is perfectly ok in it's current state, brings in 16bn dollars a year.
Since the Internet really took off, there has been a huge and unrelenting demand for software. Everything from basic websites to cloud services to the stuff running in the cloud.

Lots of people have taken up the role of developers, but most of those people are not very good. Lots of sweatshop development, with zero knowledge of, or attention to either security or quality. People using frameworks and libraries they don't really understand, to get product out the door fast.

This article is a great source of information for young people who still are at the start of their life.
But for the OP and for us older ones, instead of saying "what could I have done better?", it's better to say "what should I do better today". This is because a lot of things that could have been done better don't matter now anymore. Instead, use the knowledge learned from looking back to the past to improve your future.

The only thing I disagree with though is to define a clear education and career path. It's always easy to say that in hindsight, but if you are at the start of the path and already fix your destination then, you are closing off a lot of opportunities. I've seen people who had a very clear goal at the start of their career, and then burn out because that goal turned out to be not obtainable, and I think they would have been happier if they cared less and just switched to more obtainable goals as they went along.
Hehe, I also worked on a delivery robot with exactly the same problem. We ended up licencing phantom auto. Expensive and ... Not particularly amazing.

Many public institutions was mandated to follow the WCAG (Web Content Accessibulity Guidelies) which recommend against tables used purely for layout.

Some things I have realised after working in the industry for around 13 years:

- I focus on my health more. So I control my screen time, my posture, I avoid sitting down too much

- Because of the point above, I do not work 8h/day, even though my contract as an employee say so. I don’t feel bad about it: I receive positive feedback constantly and raises so it’s a win-win

- I don’t give a damn about any company, but I do care about doing a good job

- Tech stacks come and go. Good computer science fundamentals are invaluable

- I don’t do on-call rotation. The money isn’t worth it at all
On my Pixel multi-tasking has become suite limited since Android 13. Cannot switch only one of the apps anymore when dual tasking.
Note that MPQUIC is still being discussed at the IETF. At the last IETF meeting, more changes have been discussed. Unfortunately, that slows down its adoption. https://lwn.net/Articles/964377/

But both tries to achieve the same goal. Technically, you can have a very similar behaviour. MPTCP is implemented in the Linux kernel, while QUIC is on the userspace side.
That means the demand is very high and we need to build even more subway stations until the “vultures” can’t arbitrage the market anymore.

Mahatma Gandhi: "The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed."

Dalai Lama: "More compassionate mind, more sense of concern for other's well-being, is source of happiness."

... Lotsoweiners: "Bullshit. I’d gladly sit on a morally bankrupt throne of cash".

Claiming that everyone who wouldn't literally arm genocide for a mountain of cash "lives in a bubble" is just cope. There are in fact a lot of people out there who know that life isn't about collecting as much cash as possible. We call them "decent folk", as opposed to "collaborators".

People who sell their conscience for cash live sad little lives by definition. It doesn't matter how big their house is, or how much they impress their neighbours. Their lives are tragic, for themselves and for all of us.

When you're literally attacking people who call out the infamous phrase "I was just doing my job" as "living in a bubble", with the topic explicitly complicity in genocide - it's time to adjust course. Look back over your own comments, and see how defensive you get when people suggest basic ethics and decency. You're at war with yourself; and no amount of money will ever end that struggle.

Also, screenwriters seem to be mostly people hired by a producer to write something, not single authors who may be writing a genius story (a novel or short story, or stage play in the past) simply because they are struck by inspiration. There are many famous novelists but hardly any famous screenwriters. A large portion of famous movies are actually adoptions of preexisting books.
>If correct, these satanists might argue those were of good intention.

You really need to bone up on the acts of Christians, if you think only satanists would irreparably harm others, including children.
I mean I share your belief about p-zombies.

But if (when?) it was possible to empirically discriminate between these beliefs, it would stop being philosophy and would become science ! (Assuming you see them as exclusive rather than nested.)

I guess that, unlike in the sub-field of philosophy that are mathematics, where starting with different axioms isn't as much of a deal (outside of turf wars of mathematics departments ?), the issue is that you have plenty of questions that most people deeply care about, so disagreements can turn quite violent indeed ?
Intel Core is an eighth-generation microarchitecture, and the most recent Intel desktop CPUs are 14th gen Core processors. So the current generation is "8.14" as it were; the basic architecture is still more or less the same as it was 15 years ago.
“The problem isn’t the tourists,” he said. “It’s a model that was built around – and with the connivance of – a business class that doesn’t want to listen to what needs to be done, and with a political class that serves that business class instead of serving all the citizens.”

Yup. The problem is the local elites and their tendency towards profit maximization at the expense of everything else.

It's a very familiar story.
> please don't blog at 4am like the author

It's less about when the author blogged and more about how much deprivation is built up.

I regularly stay up til 4am but my day doesn't start until 11am, so I get my regular 7 hours of sleep. I split my work day in order to pull this off, working the over night hours and daytime is for meetings.

This pattern works best for me as I produce better and think clearer late at night.

I think a simpler approach is to limit the number of flights.

Volkswagen expected the plant to be unionized when they were planning it, and it was OK about that. However, the local political leaders in power let it be known that they would not offer VW various incentives for locating the plant in TN if it was to be unionized, presumably because union workers are much more inclined to vote for, and unions much more inclined to contribute to the opposite party. There are three other large non-union auto plants in Tennessee and two in neighboring states. The UAW certainly thinks that the VW plant will demonstrate the advantage of collective bargaining to workers in those other plants.

When I think about tangible problems (coding, physics, ...) as a hobby, I usually start with a verbal expression "funny that this and that" or "if I code this that way" and then switch to non verbal - imagining interactions through pictures or something like that.

I think that the main reason is that thinking in words slows me down.
"One to two orders of magnitude" may be true only for FP32 or FP16 and only when comparing a single GPU to a single CPU.

For FP64, the ratio in the performance per watt between the few datacenter-only GPU models that support FP64 and CPUs has been only around 3 for multiple GPU and CPU generations.

For inference using the AMX instruction set I have not seen any useful published benchmark that can show which is the ratio between the performance per watt of Emerald Rapids vs. NVIDIA, but the performance per dollar is certainly much worse for NVIDIA.

What limits the performance is normally either the performance per dollar or the performance per watt, it seldom matters if the performance is provided by a single huge GPU or by multiple smaller GPUs or CPUs.

While the top models of the server CPUs are overpriced, there are also models with very decent prices, like the 28-core Xeon 5512U @ $1230 or AMD Ryzen 9 7950X.
It really does show the absurdity of the current discourse around sex and gender when the definition of woman is considered to be "inflammatory political speech".
I agree.

What I like about TempleOS is that Terry wasn't afraid to make something new and unique, even though it was completely incompatible with everything else.

DolDoc is such a cool idea. Not a unique one, but you don't find many operating systems which have a shell based on that. Since the command output is in DolDoc, you can type `DIR` at the command line and get a list which expands into the whole file tree when you click on it. DolDoc also means that his games have all the images and models embedded in the code, and you can just go there and edit them.

And there are a lot of these. Sure it's clunky and weird and sort of unusable, but I appreciate it for what it is. And I think it's really awesome. Take a look at a random person's osdev project and you'll see mostly the same thing — a unix-like that tries to be compatible with POSIX and port all the utilities. TempleOS is as far from that as you can get (though definitely not unique either).

(Also, a minor correction: TempleOS is not real mode, it runs in full 64-bit mode with symmetric multiprocessing and everything. The text UI isn't the VGA text mode, it's a framebuffer that also displays graphics).
One part of the answer to that is a land value tax. That way the “vultures” won’t be able to simply sit on the property waiting for it to appreciate before selling it.

Second, could you explain some use case? GitHub has these limits for a reason, and there's probably better ways to host a 350MB video if you need it to be played on GitHub.

Third, if I understand right the whole thing looks quite complex when you could just give someone a simple guide on what ffmpeg invocation needs to be done.
Some ISPs in Europe are using MPTCP for people being too far from the street cabinets. Typically, for people in the countryside, with < 50 Mbps. Thanks to a transparent proxy installed in the home gateway, and servers in the ISP's network, they can combine both the fixed and cellular networks, and use the fixed one in priority.

MPTCP can also be very interesting for mobility use-cases, even when one network is used at a time, e.g. switching from WiFi to cellular, or different cellular networks in the train, etc.
Interesting. I bought the book with Reuter's student discount, but never read it (apart from some pages). Haven't really done anything with databases since university if I don't count looking into some sqlite database an application has stored on my PC or phone.

I guess the book must still be in storage somewhere, I never through away anything...

> Well, there's good to have vs. stupid. It would perhaps be nice to have per-app volume. But the fact that iPhone has just a global volume ... that my ringtone vs. media volume can't be separate is plain stupid isn't it.

The volume of media playback und ringtones can be changed separately. Ringtone volume can be set in "Sounds & Haptics". Disable the toggle for changing the ringtone volume with the physical volume keys if that interferes.

Maybe when I was 15 or 16, PHP stuff in order to maintain a website. I never really became interested in coding itself, I learned it for practical reasons and I studied it informally (forced myself through some boring books) when I was in my early 20s and wanted to get a real job.
I also believe that OpenAI's RLHF process highly biased the model towards producing that sort of specific verbose, padded-out 'chatGPT speak' that we are seeing. The RLHF fine tuning process took outputs from the instruction-tuned model and A/B tested variations with human workers who may or may not have had the same feelings towards writing quality as many of us.

The process resulted in those verbose, interjection-laden responses that we see now, because that type of response was deemed 'better' (thumbs-up'd more) than the shorter, more-direct-but-less-impressive-sounding responses.
I looked it up briefly.

IG Farben: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IG_Farben

> A decade later, it was a Nazi Party donor and, after the Nazi takeover of Germany in 1933, a major government contractor, providing significant material for the German war effort. Throughout that decade it purged itself of its Jewish employees; the remainder left in 1938.[9] Described as "the most notorious German industrial concern during the Third Reich",[10] in the 1940s the company relied on slave labour from concentration camps, including 30,000 from Auschwitz,[11] and was involved in medical experiments on inmates at both Auschwitz and Mauthausen.[12][13] One of its subsidiaries supplied the poison gas Zyklon B, which killed over one million people in gas chambers during the Holocaust.

IBM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM#History

> The Nazis made extensive use of Hollerith punch card and alphabetical accounting equipment and IBM's majority-owned German subsidiary, Deutsche Hollerith Maschinen GmbH (Dehomag), supplied this equipment from the early 1930s. This equipment was critical to Nazi efforts to categorize citizens of both Germany and other nations that fell under Nazi control through ongoing censuses. This census data was used to facilitate the round-up of Jews and other targeted groups, and to catalog their movements through the machinery of the Holocaust, including internment in the concentration camps.

Because of that, I guess the critique of saying it's "just business" makes sense.

I'm not a history major, nor am well versed in what's going on in the Middle East, I'm just thankful to be from a more boring part of the world where I'm not exposed to a variety of horrors nowadays. Or at least that I live in a time where I don't have the risk of being taken to the Corner House by the KGB, which was an issue in my country under Soviet occupation.
If you have a mole on your foot they will peck at it because they think it's a bug. The fact that it isn't doesn't seem to stop them next time. If we're talking about intelligence of farm animals, they have to be down the bottom.
On the same boat with 25 years of programming behind me, and similar thoughts.

My 3 counter points to OP.

1. Sleep as much as you can. Looking back I have produced the best results when I've slept close to 9 hours. Too much sleep is almost never a problem because I can't produce high quality code for more than about 6 hours per day. When I try, I just tread water, because I have to fix what I did the day before. (If you have more than 10% monotoneus coding you can do almost asleep, you haven't yet fixed the code to eliminate that work, or are in the wrong place.)

2. Try to get to a place where your "career" doesn't matter. This is a privilege that may be impossible to get, but if you can, try to be "just" a team member many times during the years, no matter how high up the ladder you've ended up earlier. IMO that's the best way to keep learning and improving in the craft.

3. Most importantly, read, understand and internalize how you impact to the world as a technologist. Get a deep understanding about society, ecology and ethics related to technology. Know where the money flows, keep crystal clear who gets wealthy and what gets destroyed to generate that wealth. Aim to get to a place where your code is net positive for the world based on that knowledge.
It's not notable.
I run a few small SaaSes, and, back when I was receiving emails on every purchase, I found this to be true, though the context was a bit different.

Our journey through life is shaped by the experiences we encounter, particularly during childhood. The bonds formed with caregivers during our formative years lay the groundwork for how we navigate relationships in adulthood. By understanding the influence of childhood experiences on attachment styles and relationship dynamics, individuals can embark on a journey of healing, growth, and transformation. With awareness and intentional effort, we can break free from the limitations of the past and cultivate healthier, more fulfilling relationships in the present and future.
Isn't this focusing on these courses too much as an academic pursuit ?

Most students will not stay in academia, but making them think about questions like what is it to live a good life seems to me pretty important for the education of future citizens !

And in fact ancient philosophers being historically so remote is likely to be a good thing, to prevent emotional knee-jerk rejections that is at risk of happening with more recent philosophers too associated with current politics.
It's a lesson from history.
