'False' is a matter of opinion, not an absolute.

Citing international law, Ms. Albanese explained that genocide is defined as a specific set of acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.

“Specifically, Israel has committed three acts of genocide with the requisite intent: causing seriously serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group, deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part, and imposing measures intended to prevent birth within the group,” she said.

Furthermore, “the genocide in Gaza is the most extreme stage of a long-standing settler colonial process of erasure of the native Palestinians,” she continued.

Clearly there are opinions at odds with your opinion.
I agree that the argument that there must be no free will because everything already happened is a circular argument. It simply equates determinism with the antithesis of free will, without proving why that should be the case, or even giving us a model of free will. But after eliminating that mental trap, what what is your model of how deterministic free will works? I think that unless we have one, we're still in a circular argument - it's the opposite circular argument to the one we had before, but still in circular form.

That is, just like insisting determinism must eliminate free will is begging the question, simply insisting that determinism does not eliminate free will is also insufficient.

We also need a theory of free will that is compatible with determinism. In another subthread to OP's question, I detail my idea of a protected computational substructure as the best version of free will a determinist can expect, and suggest that's enough to explain the survival benefits of what we call free will. If you are in need of a model I propose that one.

But I am also curious about your thoughts, especially if you have a very different model in mind! What kind of model do you have in mind?

> it is shocking to me that you’re spending so much time commenting on a few figures from there

You give me too much credit! They were copy pastes to the same responder who responded to me in a few places in the thread. I did that to avoid spending too much time responding!

> because looking at any one figure in isolation is dumb

So the self-reported performance figures are bad, the are hundreds of web pages and support pages reporting slow performance and low startup time from their first hand experience, there are Google hosted documentation pages about how to improve app performance for cloudrun (probably the largest user and creators of Gvisor, can I assume they know how to run it?) including gems like "delete temporary files" and a blog post recommending "using global variables" (I'm not joking). And the accusation is "dumb" cherry-picking? Huh?

Also, if I'm not wrong CloudRun GCP's main (only? besides managed K8s) PaaS container runtime. Presenting it as a general container runtime with ultra fast scaling when people online are reporting 30 second startup times for basic python/node apps, is a joke. These tradeoffs should also be highlighted somewhere in these sales pages, but they're not.

This is the last I'm responding to this thread. Also my apologies to the Coder folks for going off topic like this.

The Works of Kogonada
If one wants less fraud change incentives.

1. Grants and faculty positions should be less dependent on number of publications, and more on the quality of publications.

2. Place more emphasis on basic research and less on translational research. The latter encourages hyperbole and p-hacking. In the late 90s, the NIH initiated a strong emphasis that all research should have an immediate practical value. This is not reasonable and as a result, researchers grossly exaggerate the impact of their work, and some even engage in an outright fraud.

I used go-starlark[1] to build a configurable reverse proxy and container manager for web app deployment [2]. Starlark is used to configure the proxy and it can be used to actually implement the backend apis.

One challenge with Starlark was not having exceptions, which by itself is a good thing. But not having go-style multi-value returns in Starlark makes error handling verbose. Since the errors originate in plugin calls to go code, the solution I implemented was a thread-local to store the last error and handle that on the next plugin call if the error was not explicitly handled in the code [3]. Worked out pretty well in my test apps. For example, this app [4] implements a bookmark manager, with minimal error handling required in the code.

Starlark is great for adding dynamic behavior for go applications. I was worried about performance when I started but perf has not been a concern in the context of a web app server.

I understand the ones that stay on cheated servers. There have been CS servers in the past that made it unequivocally clear you only belong there for cheating, and it was a literal duel against cheat client configs - I've heard it was a lot of fun.
The idea is that the eardrums are not vibrating due to the air - so such medium is irrelevant to the question.

Speak for yourself. Most people in tech do not work for Google or Microsoft. Working in tech alone doesn't give you some kind of power to offer pushback in these tech companies, just like being a random worker in the agriculture sector doesn't give you power to offer pushback against the tobacco companies.

Thanks for that summary, this saga fascinates me as well. As someone with no real knowledge of the financial industry (which seems incomprehensibly vast and obfuscated by design) it's fun to wander down the rabbit hole of theories and wonder what's going on behind the curtain.

The details of the complicated financial instruments that supposedly create "phantom shares" are lost on me, but I would really love to see a layman's breakdown of how this supposedly works and how large players are said to use this to their advantage for price suppression.

It's awesome that Gill is testing this theory, very publicly, for the world to witness.

I'm also excited to see if the domino effects at work will shed light on other, deeper layers of the rabbit hole (shorts never closed?).
Jocko’s and Goggins are good examples of it. And to be taken with a pinch of healthy salt

Why are you assuming those calls weren’t hedged by the MM that sold them to Gill? And besides, it would be very easy to acquire those shares if they needed to. I’m sure GameStop would be happy to print a few million fresh, crisp shares to sell to the unlucky market maker that got caught with their pants down. GameStop literally created $1B worth of shares out of nowhere and sold them on the open market last week.

Reading your post, it reads like decision paralysis has set in since you are running yourself in a circular loop.

You had something in mind, build some discipline, learn how to rationally analyze the prospects and the risks/competitors (risk management), and then do something about it as a Proof of Concept to see if its viable. Rinse repeat.

That is literally the easy part, but hardest for most people today.

There are plenty of nearly impossible problems to solve. Just read Mises work from the 1930s on Socialism to get a solid good idea about recognizing those problems. Most costly failures aren't that they fail outright, but that they fail slow and indirectly (after you've invested far too much). Set limits where you cut your losses ahead of time.

This is a problem even for macOS updates, ever since they moved to the sealed system volume in macOS 11. When you update macOS, it downloads the entire OS and installs it to a separate APFS snapshot. The infuriating thing about this is that the sealed system volume should actually make it easier to provide reliable delta updates, but instead they used it as an excuse to remove them.

And of course Apple's always treated app updates as "download entire new copy of app to separate container and relaunch", ever since day one of the iOS App Store. This too could be handled with APFS snapshots.

I really wish Apple - and the rest of the industry - would stop being so damned allergic to delta updates. It's infuriating knowing how much damned engineering effort, say, Google put into shipping deltas on Chrome, and then everyone else is "just download two copies of every app while you're updating them, bandwidth and storage is free if we don't pay for them".
Do my eyes deceive me, or is nobody talking about what the article actually says?

There is exactly one case where swap can be helpful: when

1. there are low traffic memory pages that can be swapped out in lieu of

In particular: swap is NOT for when your system is out of memory.

You absolutely can have a problem with invasive and inappropriate behavior like this, even if it’s technically not illegal. You have every right to also do anything legal to stop them. You can’t rely on the law to set or enforce personal boundaries, that is your responsibility.

I personally would not actually harm or rob anyone, but I certainly will make them strongly suspect that I am willing to by appearing to be extremely pissed off- after exhausting any possibility of reasoning with them. As I described above, this happens to me and my son a lot by virtue of hop how we look and what we are doing, and I won’t tolerate it. I’m actually a very calm person, but I am also a large scary looking man, and very very occasionally I will pretend to be about to lose control, for the sake of the kind of person that understands nothing else. They are lucky to be having this conflict with me, someone that won’t actually hurt them… as a lot of people would.
I think the op means that this is a mindset to apply on any kind of software or tech project. Think apps supported by ads or deploying tracking toolkits by default.

In my small friend group of 6-7 people we used to regularly play league of legends almost every night. Since vanguard came out we play significantly less. And some of us are trying to switch to Dota instead. The anticheat causes more problems for us than it solves. Playing is such a hassle now. We never noticed cheaters in our games.

Last time I tried to play, my PC bluescreened on the loading screen with an error about vgk.sys. (Vanguard) Then on reboot I get into the game late. It also bluescreened once with the same error while I wasn’t even playing too.

This anticheat causes so many problems on my computer. It always pops up saying it killed some driver. I still haven’t been able to figure out what or why. And it frequently makes all of us reboot in order to play. Other games with kernel level anti-cheat don’t have these issues.

There are definitely ways around these kernel level cheats too- it’s almost certainly just a matter of time. Vanguard specifically is just so invasive and not stable. Looking forward to finally being done with League. Enjoying Dota more anyway.
Apple Fell Behind in the AI Arms Race
Apple can use it in their marketing to try to convince some Apple holdouts to switch. The people who already have Apples will tout privacy to their non-Apple friends because they heard about it from Apple. Basically, it doesn't hurt, and can only help, and it sounds better than many other things they could tout as features. The most important thing in their ads isn't exactly what they're touting (privacy features), but that they're keeping themselves in peoples' minds and making them feel good somehow.
This seems like a remnant opinion resultant from old propaganda campaigns promoted by politicians Russia was supporting with its interference in US politics.

These campaigns were multifaceted and included calling proven basic facts into question, going so far as to suggest Russia wasn't interfering at all.

Convincing people to disbelieve this basic fact precluded them from any possible consideration of whether Russia was supporting specific candidates, how Russia might benefit from such a candidate taking power, and why Russia might consider interference to be worth the effort, money, and risk.

This disbelief would also preclude any consideration about why the politician might:

- support such Russian meddling by pretending it did not exist

- make unsupported claims implicating their political opponents which completely ignored known facts

- play dumb whenever the subject came up

It was a playbook, followed to incredible success in conjunction with other propaganda efforts.

This all served to enable the politician to completely avoid addressing core questions about why Russia would support the candidate to the point of interfering with US elections to begin with.

> less lock in to matchmaking.

I have very fond memories of playing on a clan owned server the first few years after TF2 came out. Slowly, I got to know people, and even overcame some pretty severe shyness to talk on a mic during games. My Steam friends list grew and we learned where each other lived around North America, what each other did, who was in a relationship with who. Some people even went so far as to offer couches if someone was visiting their town.

When I last booted up TF2, I was sad to just get put in a random server and couldn't find the old crews stomping ground.

Being older now, I sometimes wish I could find a game where communities like that could form. In hindsight it felt like one of the last breaths of the old internet...
It looks like there's slightly too much padding and it doesn't quite fit on my phone's screen - it seems designed for a tablet-sized device, but everything I see on the screen would fit very well on a phone screen. Indeed, if I zoom out, everything does fit on the screen properly, it's just that the default zoom means I have to scroll to get around.

But the idea looks useful, and the idea of having it on the device you're always using anyway is sensible.
Exactly the same with me. W10 LTSC 2021 goes EOL on 2027, once that happens we'll have no choice.
Well if you can call a syscall you don't need a named file. You can call execfd.

One case where I need an executable named temp file is when I need to pass that named file to another process which in turn will call that file (so I don't have control on how that other process will call exec)
i've spoke about it before, but I think it's criminal when a video game company continues to rake-in in-game-purchase profit far after they've ceased moderation or population herding.

TF2 is one such example. Another egregious example is GTA V.

I think it sucks that a 'software' company is more than willing to take 50 bucks for virtual simoleons while simultaneously being too busy to moderate that same universe because of future development.

Having their cake and eating it too. Whole economy around that stuff just sucks, and it's only morally allowed because "well we need to eat, too." -- which is never that great an excuse for screwing people over.
Ok. I'm only triggered by two things:

1. An argument that a tool using netstack is in any way tainted with gVisor's runtime costs.

2. An argument that shared-kernel multitenant is tenable and thus gVisor addresses no meaningful security concerns.
Wouldn't that logic also apply to, say, Apple?
Extremely difficult task. Think of a kernel as a container of device drivers, where the motherboard/system is the top level device (scheduling, including interrupts), each processor is a device, memory is a device, etc. The most important decisions to make up front have to do with managing state across transitions between kernel mode and user mode. Say what you will of Windows, its model for this is potentially highly performant, though Microsoft's documentation is so poor that most drivers are badly written: too much is done in ISRs versus DPCs. (In the early days, Microsoft sold very expensive training under NDA; I'm not sure they are still doing that but it is why, to this day, the doco still leaves out so much essential context.)

Apologies for the LMGTFY, but there needs to be a ratcheting up of gently-administered teasing of people when they share tired, easily checkable, fallacious, talking points like this.

Frankly, to me personally, it's stomach-churning, especially when it's reserved for "my racism justifying human rights violations is noble self-defense, unlike theirs."

Yes. Is Beijing justified because they did?
I've seen it done with human observations instead of AI, e.g. for validating the skills of the best rhythm game players or the best speedrunners.

My perception (purely from personal gaming experience, to be fair) is that most esports games' existing anti-cheat solutions are good enough at suppressing obvious cheaters, so there's not enough benefit to adopting a system like this for the vast majority of players for the cost.

My understanding of TF2's problem is partially that it's easy to cheat, but unlike other games, it's also easy to cheat on multiple accounts simultaneously on the same machine, and there's not enough (if any?) enforcement to deter people from doing this.
ULA is still the right solution here.

ULA would let you maintain your internal lan with custom subnets and DNS even if you switch carriers or use multiple carriers. No need to update your internal DNS servers for ULA.

If you're running a server on your dynamic residential service, you must be using dyndns for ipv4. So do the same with ipv6.

Residential random prefixes is the nature of residential networks, as ISPs don't want to preserve state. With a business grade service, you'd get a static prefix, much like static ipv4. Then the only time you need to update anything is when you switch your ISP and need to update global DNS addresses for your servers.
You would need really high quality video to catch an aim-assist sending a 2px mouse input to turn a near-miss into a hit.
