You've made a leap in logic by not breaking down the steps enough and assuming positions I hold.

I'm not contesting that you're a meat computer (I actually believe this since I don't believe in magic). I also don't believe in a soul, except in the figurative sense (e.g. "this music is lacking soul").

> wouldn't experience both realities simultaneously, there would just be two of me.

By saying this you unknowingly agree with me. Carefully reread what I wrote reconsidering your assumptions.

Specifically this part

>> Why do people think that version is "you". Or rather "me". Even if it is indistinguishable to an outside observer, it's not "you".

Take a program that has memory and responds to inputs and copy it onto a disk drive. It is not running so not responding. Now install it onto another computer which isn't connected to first. Are these the same programs? Yes.

Now assume the program is self modifying. Is it still yes?

Self modifying code is not fungible.
If a researcher can get the data, then so could someone else with less altruistic motives. So the good actor is slowed because of the bad actor. Unfortunately, there's very little way to prove the good is good and not crossing their fingers behind their back.
especially if it's anonymized

And there's the problem. In theory, this is possible. But in reality, there is no such thing.

You also assume that your data will be correct. If data integrity was so easy and common, people wouldn't be encouraged to repeatedly check their credit reports for mistakes.

One bit flip and you go from "perfectly healthy" to "about to die" and suddenly you can't get life insurance, your credit score tanks and you can't get a job.

Is grip strength really a proxy for doing resistance training in general (people who do full workouts having stronger grip)? Just speculation on my part due to forearms not really being a major muscle group.
Interesting reference as more and more people long for the a comeback of the old days in tech.
Insurance companies refusing to pay because of $reason based on deanonymized data. Ad companies or bigPharma bombarding you to get new pills because they want to sell more pills. Black mail because you have embarrassing disease.

There's a lot of money being spent on deanonymizing data, and I would never count on it ever being able to remain anonymous with that much incentive.
I suppose we must grant this author credit for out-of-the-box thinking.

Having done so, we should now put his idea back in the box, seal the box, and ship it to that government warehouse from "Raiders of the Lost Ark", where its merits can be most suitably appreciated.
Penis worked! Very impressive. I agree with the other commenter that the name "all texts" makes me think specifically of text messages.
Develop tools for health insurance companies to abuse patients. Instead of denying coverage to patients based on real life symptoms, they can deny coverage due to model outputs that are “based” on real life data.

Since these models are black boxes, it’s easy to hide biases within them
For those who missed the point of this concise note;

There are 8 billion people alive today. A few handfuls of whom will be alive 100 years from now.

Everyone dies.

Will the birthrate drop? Likely yes. Will resources become more scarce? Some, definitely yes. Will life be easier or harder 100 years from now? That's harder to predict.

TBF your contention that the impact of price collusion also requires citations. And the DOJ has thought a lot of things, however their track record in court has been not exactly been stellar so I'm not sure how much of a signal that is.

These are all great points, and of course, I didn't mean to trivialize any of them. I can't say a federal state would actually work for the EU, precisely because of these issues.

>Imagine a president who doesn't even speak the native language of the vast majority of people in the country.

This actually reminds me of Spain. Their leaders, while they speak the native language of a majority, it's not a vast majority, with very significant minority-language areas (Catalan, Basque, Galician). And that country sometimes seems to be barely holding itself together, with Catalonia attempting an independence referendum a few years ago that didn't end well.

However, this is a quibble, but as an American I'd argue that if the EU did federalize, they shouldn't have a president at all. The US has a presidential system and it kinda sucks (see: frequent government shutdowns). I think a parliamentary system works better in practice, or perhaps something resembling Germany's system (since Germany also has a federal government).

>So the squabbling mess of European powers, barely coordinating under a balance of power system at home, was dramatically successful militarily and economically (at an even more dramatic human cost)

I really don't think those days are coming back. Europe was so successful back then because it was far more developed technologically. That advantage is long gone now. Plus, Europe's population just isn't what it was. And I'm not a historian, but I thought the reason China didn't develop as fast was all self-inflicted: they intentionally turned inwards and refused outside contact.

Anyway, perhaps you're right and the current state of the EU is the best they can do with their circumstances. Still, I suspect it's not enough: I don't see this as a stable system. They can't even keep one or two of their own member states from torpedoing all progress, and if the US weren't there to defend them from Russia, they appear to be powerless there too.
It was probably a bad choice of words, but chosen for a reason. I'm guessing of course, but I think the people that picked those words knew what they were doing. They wanted to appeal to people who think the police do more harm than good.

99% is down three days a year, and 99.8% can still go down for 17 hours each year.

Neither of those is particularly hard to reach. The cost increase to go from one to the other is not a big percentage.

What do you even get if the SLA is breached? Looking it up I see it excludes planned maintenance, and "in the event the Service availability drops below 99.8% for two consecutive months, Customer may terminate the Service". That's useless.
This is the kind of cultural literacy that comes from getting your politics from morons on Twitter.
Yeah it is ridiculous to see all of the "employees" complain so heavily about one important work email that comes over the weekend, when the business patiently puts up with hundreds of personal phone calls, time spent scrolling on the phone, hacker News / Reddit posts and much more.

There needs to be a little bit more of a give and take. If employees are not expected to receive a single phone call or email outside of working hours. Would it be acceptable if the same restrictions were placed on personal calls and emails during working hours?

How many of the same people would be screaming murder, if their bosses came to them and complained about them taking personal email during work time.
Having had to use many different logging/observability platforms, I have to say Datadog is one of the better ones I've used.

Again using parent's example of AwesomeWM: You'll temporary move one of the "windows" to the same "screen" as the other one (via "tagging"), resetting everything once you're done. Usually this is like 2 or 3 shortcuts all together.

AwesomeWM uses a tag system for windows, so you assign windows to one or more tags, then you can freely view one or many tags at the same time, compared to the traditional "workspaces" approach that for example Gnome and macOS has.
The context of this discussion is that it would be better if pipes were faster. Then you would have more options.
By capturing off-shored manufacturing of Western companies, Chinese companies have acquired some decent "basic" manufacturing know-how/quality at unbeatable prices, often resulting in finished components that are lower-cost than locally sourced raw materials here.

The second-order effect is that other companies can then build on those cheap basic components and integrate into something higher-tech. Initially usually some sort of cheaper knock-off of some idea but constantly improving it while keeping cost cheaper than the Western competitors, reinvesting most of the proceeds into continued development. Eventually the product stands out in its own right and the manufacturer becomes world-class in its niche.

I've seen this a couple times - DJI or Bambu Labs to some degree are imo examples of this, Unitree seems to be another example.
Some of the studies seem to control for this. Some have looked specifically at isometric vs eccentric, etc and found the isometric grip strength exercises to be more correlated.

On a side note, there have been studies about grip strength and lifespan, including on small children who have never strength trained at all. Higher grip strength had a fairly strong correlation with longer lifespan.
> Without essentially a formal proof that the output of the compiler is what you expect, you will have to manually inspect every aspect of every output phase of any bootstrapping process.

And why would it be easier to manually inspect (prove correct) the output of every phase than to manually inspect (prove correct) the source code? The compiled code will often lose important information about code structure, how abstractions are used, include optimisations, etc.

I usually trust my ability to understand source code better than my ability to understand the compiled code.
Whenever you have a stripe with missing chunks they need to be re-encoded ASAP because those stripes will be lost if they lose enough chunks. Every distributed storage system needs some kind of librarian to go around grooming the stripes to keep them out of danger.

I'm not sure if this is relevant, but Ben Goldachre in the UK is working on how to get access to NHS patient data in a privacy-preserving manner [0]. My understanding is that you essentially submit your analysis and it is run against live data but you only recieve summary results. I'm not sure if this could be adapted to training.

Predicting the Future of Distributed Systems
I generally read the Associated Press (apnews.com) directly. They're a non-profit wire service that collects news from member agencies all over the world and then redistributes them among its members. If you ever read a news story from your local paper, check the byline (the author)... a lot of times it's just a reposted AP story. But I just go to their home page directly.

Most US news is owned by some corporation or private company, whose owners have their own agendas. This is especially terrible in the TV world, with local channels mostly owners by a few giant conglomerates. I avoid TV news altogether.

Print news is in similarly dire shape, with most local papers either completely dead or absorbed by a conglomerate or owned by some billionaire for the lulz.

The AP is still independent for now, and a nonprofit. Right wing extremists would probably throw it in there with all the other liberal propaganda mainstream media, but it's really not (compared to something like the Guardian or WaPo), and it seems more even-handed than the NYT.

There are other similar wire service agencies (Reuters, AFP, etc.) but I think AP is one of the few nonprofit ones.
Okay, speculation then.

BTW I never said that I believed he was telling the truth.

But that's very different from pretending to simply "know" that he wasn't.

borplk hit this right on the head - the public/private distinction not sufficiently nuanced enough to handle the requirements of more complex codebases.

To put your example in other words, I simply want baz scoped to foo. baz may be public for all members and sub-modules of foo, but external uses of baz outside of foo would create brittle and unwanted dependencies across my codebase.

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -- Arthur C. Clarke

I thought the same thing when using PAR files. They're still useful today if you save things on media that can be damaged (CD, DVD, Blue-Ray) or across multiple multiple media.

Eventually, I decided to dig into the math behind it. It is a surprisingly simple principle:

Given polynomial of a degree X and an array of data points of size X, there is one and only one solution to the polynomial's coefficients such that it will pass through those data points.

So, stripe the data into bands of arrays, compute the polynomial, and compute additional data points of the curve, and save it with the original data. If you have at least the array's size of data points ( original array and/or parity values) and know the place in the list for each data point (thus which data is missing), there is one and only one solution to the polynomial equation. Once you solve the polynomial again, you can compute any point, including the missing ones. Again, because there is one and only one solution for the curve.

The devil is the math necessary solve the polynomials, which is why it is so computationally intensive.

It's not on die, it's separate dies on chip.

This engineering was common in x86 CPUs by 2013 when AMD introduced Heterogeneous System Architecture which utilized Heterogeneous Uniform Memory Access. The approach has its upsides and downsides, the latter generally being a unified bus tends to have much lower overall bandwidth (even in the Max) and runtime scalability issues. Upsides are more obvious for the types of systems people want APUs for in the first place though so that's usually fine.

The main bit of engineering Apple should be lauded for in the memory department is the gumption to throw the hundreds of GB/s at the mid and high end models.

Can't tmux's built-in mouse support¹ handle this? Just add

set -g option mouse on

to your `tmux.conf` and tmux will do mouse selections for you and won't cross pane boundaries.

You can use something like tmux-yank² to get your tmux selections onto your OS/DE clipboard if you're not using a nice/modern terminal emulator with OSC 52 support and you don't want to manually plug in `xsel` or `pbcopy` or whatever. (See the tmux docs on clipboard integration³ if you're not sure whether/how your terminal supports the standard.)

> Ahead in terms of what?

Passenger safety for starters, passing safety audits, units shipped or sold, not having a 60 year old airframe to iterate its product with [1].

> Airbus benefits when Boeing drops the ball.

It also has to build airplanes of quality, price and on time that can fly economically for its customers. Duopoly doesn’t mean it has to do nothing.

[1] MCAS was needed after all because Boeing decided to stick a big new engine on a low sitting 1960s 737 airframe, instead of developing a new airframe.
Huge problem is data protections in the USA that do not allow for easy sharing of patient data for these purposes. The liability is huge and the upside is very little. Furthermore, if it's a college-affiliated hospital, that data is not going anywhere except to the internal teams within the college.

If you create special definitions for "global tech industry" and "talent" and "innovation" specifically in order to arrive at that result, absolutely!

> Metering water consumed in most cases is pretty good at finding sewage use, and water metering exists in most apartments or at least every one I've lived in.

And this is how it already works in “most places”. Where it isn’t currently doing that you propose installing meters that aren’t already there, or determining pipe size to every user to determine the proper amount to charge for their shit. How is this not adding complexity?

> your system is a complicated one

Yes, the tax code is complicated for some small cohort of people, and that should be fixed.

> Sure but under my proposal everyone pays for services consumed, if you think rural people are stealing your infrastructure taxes to build septic systems by all means that's an argument to 'tax' at point of consumption, since we're cheating you apparently.

Sure, just as soon as you pay for all of the infrastructure between your community and the septic system. I wonder how many million or billions of dollars that would add up to.

> Well in practice they pay interest either way, privately or via inflation and public debt gov uses to expand their scope.

In practice they’re spending that money on something else. This isn’t about savvy savers losing a few percent to inflation. This is about people mortgaging a way to take a shit because they need to hook up their apartment to some company’s system.
