The wafer is thick. Let's call it a mm thick (not quite, but close). Devices are tiny. The claim is 1.6nm, which isn't quite true, but let's pretend it is, since for the qualitative argument, it doesn't make a difference. That's on the order of a million times smaller than the thickness of the wafer.

Historically, everything was etched, grown, deposited, and sputtered on one side of the wafer. The rest of the wafer was mostly mechanical support. The other side of the wafer is a universe away.

The world is more complex today, but that's a good model to keep in mind.

For a 3d integrated circuit, you would do this, and then e.g. grind away the whole wafer, and be left with a few micron thick sheet of just the electronics, which you'd mechanically place on top of another similar sheet. That's every bit as complex as it sounds. That's why this was restricted to very high-end applications.

As for whether the wafer is a huge ground plane, that's complex too, since it depends on the top of the device and the IC:

* First, it's worth remembering a pure silicon crystal is an insulator. It's only when you dope it that it becomes a conductor. The wafer starts out undoped.

* Early ICs had the whole wafer doped, and the collector of all the NPN transistors was just the wafer. There, it was a ground plane.

* SOI processes deposit a layer of glass on top of the wafer, and everything else on the glass. There, the wafer is insulated from the circuit.

So all of this can very quickly go in many directions, depending on generation of technology and application.

I'm not sure this post is helpful, since it's a lot of complexity in an ELI5, so I'll do a TL;DR: It's complicated. (or: Ask your dad)
(with the understanding that I'm only speaking for what I found, not for the Tor project or the relay community)

Most of the people I spoke to saw themselves as providing a service - they wanted to help do something to bring a particular kind of future Internet about and found it rewarding to be a part of that. A number of them found the act of running a relay interesting and fun in itself - something they could get better at. Plus, membership of the relay community itself (especially now) is a kind of shared experience of community - and that's attractive to people in itself.

In terms of malicious actors, Tor does a lot to avoid this, from hunting down bad relays actively, monitoring the network as best as it can, continuously developing the algorithms which select routes through the network, and other mechanisms, like forcing relays to operate for a while before they get trusted with a lot of connections.
The scope creep of these agencies in recent decades is substantial, though.

It's one thing to set rules for dumping that protect wildlands, or verify drugs in the medical supply chain aren't toxic.

Yes, I am absolutely sure.

Each of the propagandists I mentioned in this comment[0] made assertions that are demonstrably false, e.g., russia isn't going to invade Ukraine; this is just a western conspiracy theory.

They each insisted that Ukraine has no chance, like you do. They each insisted repeatedly that Ukraine was just about to collapse. They said that several times in 2022. They said that several times in 2023. They're saying that now in 2024, like you are.

>From my perspective, nothing about the internet changed since then (my experience did not upgrade or downgrade). People stopped talking about it, there weren't major protests, news about it even largely disappeared from the front page of HN (!). ... What, then, is the impetus for restoring the net neutrality rules, given there is always some political cost to any action like this? Has the lack of net neutrality caused issues that I just have not heard about?

IMO it seems likely ISPs knew the rules were likely to come back so they avoided most of the practices that would generate outrage (throttling streaming and other popular services unless you pay an additional fee). I have no doubt if they could get away with it they would haha. Many providers did roll out zero rating programs.

As for why this is important just because ISPs aren't currently doing it on a large scale doesn't mean steps shouldn't be taken to prohibit it. We already know what happens in the long run when ISPs are allowed to double dip https://restofworld.org/2024/south-korea-twitch-exit-problem...
I find the only commonality is that after the right wing does something, both sides say “this is going to hurt so many people”. It’s just that one side is laughing when they say it.

I visit alt-right circles A LOT, and I have literally never once heard “the other side does these things out of spite”. The vast majority of the time, they don’t have anything to say on a topic beyond repeating some stupid meme.

Additionally, I would also like to point out that people on the right actually demonstrably DO have zero conviction for their beliefs. It is a tested fact that on the whole people on the right will absolutely flip flop on a topic the moment they find out that the left supports it (some 90% of right wing voters in tests), however, on the whole, people on the left are *far* less likely to flip flop (only some 10% of left wing voters flip on a topic upon learning the right supports it).

That the right actually votes out of spite is not just something people assert, it’s a tested fact.

It's not very good at it, and I wouldn't recommend it over more capable options like Kicad, but if all you need is a simple 2-layer PCB to connect a few basic components together, it'll get the job done. The results won't win any design awards, but they'll work.

The difference between Go and Rust is that I can (and have) teach any Java coder to be productive in Go in about a week.

I couldn't teach _myself_ Rust in a week.

Yes, if you're making something where being Correct is a hard requirement - Rust is perfect. But you do need to acknowledge that there is a definite learning curve and the average Job Coder (works from 9-5 and doesn't think about it on their free time) isn't cut out for Rust.

If your team is hand-picked 10x coders, Rust is again by far the best choice. It's got fancy PL bells and whistles that keep the dopamine running for experienced people =)

> By working on a project with a CLA, where you sign away your code, you're giving carte blanche for the company to take away your freedom to use their software.

Ok it's been a while so I don't remember the details or how it played out, but when Linux introduced a CoC, there were people who contributed to the kernel in the past that threatened to withdraw their code from the kernel, which would've been a nightmare to handle and clean up. How much power does a contributor have if my project is using a standard licence like GPL or BSD? Does the contributor hold any copyright over their code? Im not talking about rug pulls here, let's just say the contributor gets really mad at me for some reason.
> rules made by appointed regulators rather than elected legislators is obviously anti-democratic

The people making the appointments are elected. It is obviously democratic.

The general population can't get together to vote on everything, so we elect representatives to do that job for us. Our representatives can't make rules on minutia, so they appoint regulators. Don't like the regulators? Go talk to your representative.

The opposite is worse: I live in a town that still has old-style town meeting where any resident can show up. It's tyranny of whoever has time to show up and stay up late, because someone will always create an amendment at 11PM to overrule a town-wide vote.

I don't think this is what they were saying. The political and economic state in Iran is about as far from Afghanistan as possible. Iran/Persia has a long history of national identity and has a highly organized society. Afghanistan is a tribal region and still does not have a sense of nation or really a mature sense of political identity. Iran is also a major power player in Asia with a far stronger economy, with a GDP in the top quartile in the world, and with one of the best performing stock exchanges in Asia in the last decade, while Afghanistan has for many years been the poorest country in Asia.

That said, Iran has a political structure that owes little to no obedience to the will of the people, with a non-elected supreme leader and guardian council (half of which are appointed by the supreme leader) who have the final say in all political decisions, so the actions of Iran should not be mistaken as the will of the people, even in the loose sense that representative democracies are.

> I did not say "not focus as much on deep understanding". I am only talking about exposure to all sorts of concepts/ideas.

This discussion started because the person you replied to was saying "[I was] dissapointed with myself for not taking more notes ... This quote made me feel better about simply reading, getting whatever I get out of it".

You replied "This is the way to approach it, particularly in these times when knowledge is so vast and there is so much to read."

This response, to me, appears to be based on the assumption that because there is a vast amount of knowledge available, one must read more of it and keep up with it simply because there is more of it.

> I think maybe you are confusing my comments with somebody else's and meant this as a reply to somebody else? I have not mentioned note-taking in any of my comments in this thread.

See my comment above, this started with the person your replied to talking about giving up on note taking while reading.

> What Reading widely/broadly enables is to see interconnections/interplay between various subjects the very existence of which you might have been unaware of earlier.

I would counter that one does not see the existence of such connections with only superficial understandings. For example, most undergraduate students struggle, even after many courses, to connect the expected solution to a problem set up for them; to say nothing of being able to draw connections between subjects.

Yes there is great value in being able to go between many domains and to tie them together, but it is not immediately obvious why this would be more valuable than digging deeply in a smaller number

> This is particularly true in today's times where there is so much knowledge that it is impossible to go deep into everything.

See my point from above about the lack of imperative for reading more simply because there is more to read.

> if you were to study this "just in case" and even if you don't use it rigorously the very act of knowing it will allow you think about program construction in a whole new light which will give you superior insight and increase your effectiveness/productivity immeasurably.

I agree that you can't study something "just in time" if you don't know that it exists. The issue is that a great many things can (or claim to) "give you superior insight and increase your effectiveness/productivity immeasurably". You don't have time to learn about all of them. And when choosing to pick what to look at next, I argue that searching for the thing related to your current problem is more valuable knowledge than a that which you get "just in case".
An implicit assumption of the American political order is that a body that makes policy also has the ability to unmake that policy. I think that's good because otherwise there would be a land rush to create policies that are irreversible or have a higher bar for reversal than enactment. These policies would inevitably become out of date and reversing them could be politically impossible.

The big exception to this was the drafting of the Constitution itself, which arguably was easier to ratify than it is to amend. The problem of the practical impossibility of undoing past policies applies very much here.
I've successfully used ChatGPT and Gemini to 1:1 translate a pretty much all of my Python programs from the last 20 years (scripts really) to Go and couldn't be happier.

Instead of figuring out what's the package manager/virtual env wrangler du jour when installing my stuff to a new server after 2+ years of not touching it (Poetry is the current leader I think?) I can just compile the Go program with the correct arch on my local computer and scp it to the server.
The barrier of proof for a bogus DMCA is incredibly high. Even something like "our system sends out 100k takedowns a day, so it had to be automaded and sometimes we face false positives" is enough to shut down a case.

There are no incentives. I'm pretty sure the vast majority does it for altruistic reasons. At least all those I've met. Many run relays with spare resources they pay for anyway. Others rent a cheap VPS to run a relay. $10 gives you a surprisingly large amount of bandwidth if you avoid the cloud like the plague.

Governments have other possibilities. Why should they run a relay if they can force the ISP to mirror the traffic of all relays to them?

The Museum of Hoaxes: Male Lactation
The "why" is because people quit environments that are toxic, but hold out if there are signs of improvement. People don't want to quit - it's a large investment of time and investment to job hunt. It's annoying as hell. So if you can string together promises:

- We'll hire more people, it's just so hard to find candidates!
- We're doing bonuses right after evaluations, but we're doing a new evaluation system that's taking a bit longer than we expected this year
- We're just finalizing talking to a customer we'll have them signed next month, we swear

That delays people looking, delays that large investment, and you can extract engineering time with little investment.

If you ran a company that couldn't afford another engineer for a team that desperately needed another engineer, are you going to paint the bleak picture for your team and risk losing those engineers that you have, or lie? If you have morals and say you'd be upfront, great; but that's unfortunately not a universal answer.

This sort of business model is generally known as "cost engineering". It can work, to an extent, when you're small enough to kind of fly under the radar. Once you grow enough to start impacting margins for the big players that actually control the resources then they become highly motivated to crush you.
Unfortunately, if you have a contentious issue which is decided by fiat of one of the sides being in power and not by mutual compromise, there's no reason for the other side, coming in power, to not change it back. Since, fortunately, we still have a functioning democracy in the US, the sides in power change. Since, unfortunately, there seems to be not enough will to reach a workable compromise satisfactory to both sides, flip-flopping will likely continue in the foreseeable future, until either societal consensus moves firmly on one side of the issue to the point that makes other side's position untenable, or some mutually agreeable compromise emerges.
My first reaction was to raise concern about alignment, and came up with an example that has nothing to do with current or past events, instead describing a hypotetical future scenario that might possibly play out if current AIs were tasked to issue a report, which are (IMO) overly tuned to be exceedingly sensitive to racial issues and would thus be likely fail to be neutral.
Some hosts accept alternate payment systems, like gift cards or cryptocurrency. You can also have someone else pay for it with a credit card or bank transfer without giving your name, which can be quite important in some cases. The new rules would presumably make that a crime.
I am still not sold that e.g. using an arena as a scratch space for real-time frame rendering of the scene is worse than refcounting all of the temporary data, especially if the workload fits comfortably into the available memory.

Also, generations are a thing, so no need to "waste several decades of your life". And why is that metaphor applicable anyhow? Why not something like "stop constantly opening and closing the warehouse door during the work, and reinventorize it once a year instead of making a note every time you take something out of it or put something back in it" instead?

Anyway, thanks for you time and exchange.

This is not happening. It is a lie.

What happens is some folks decide they want to make violent threats towards others, or espouse ideologies that are inherently violent (e.g. white supremacy, which aims for genocide to create a white ethno-state), or decide that they want to be misogynist, or racist. The folks that do this are selfish and don't deserve to have their hate* and ignorance amplified.

There's a difference between expressing an opinion and pushing ideologies that are incompatible with a free and open society where people are actually able to have civilized discussions on differences of opinion. (If you are unaware of this concept, brush up on "The Paradox of Tolerance".)
