I think focusing on Nick Land's provocations rather than confronting the predictive validity of Accelerationism, which the Guardian article highlights, is just a nice coping strategy for people who are low on decoupling.

I'm doing a primary literature review of Land's core thesis that AI and capitalism are teleologically identical at https://retrochronic.com/ and I hope it will show that there is at least some substance to his work, such as his perspective on AI in the context of capital autonomization.
I loved Mistborn, and I heard great things about The Stormlight Archives, but to be honest, I found that they have very different pacing. My biggest gripe with most fantasy books is that you can suddenly realize that you've been reading for 100 pages, and nothing has happened. The Stormlight Archives has that problem in spades. I got about 1/4 into the 2nd book before I suddenly realized absolutely nothing at all had happened since about halfway through the 1st book. It just dragged on way too much for me. Mistborn 1 didn't drag at all; 2 and 3 did a bit but not egregiously.

I've made the argument before that A Song of Ice and Fire doesn't have a particularly high rate of character death. It's just that things actually happen in those books. I think that's why they're so loved: not because they're the best writing, or the best world, or the best characters, but because things happen, every single chapter. Character deaths are high per page, but not high per actual story event that happens. In the Stormlight Archives, it felt like after 1.25 books, each major character had had about 2 major plot events. Way too slow pacing for my taste.

This information is definitely dated and I might be misremembering (but it was given to me right next to the clean room where ICs for satelites were being prepped), but for ICs from a certain manufacturer "rad-hardened" was basically "we take ICs from our normal production batch, and do even more tests on them".

The idea being that failure is bimodal: most stuff fails very quickly, _or_ after a long time, but rarely in the middle. So they just do 100 test cycles in a messy test environment.

ICs for "normal use" also got tests like this, but generally the test suite was a bit nicer. The rad-hardened ones got way nastier tests done to them, and the yield was (of course) much lower. So you charge way more for them.

The important competition isn't Google v Apple.

It's everyone else v Google and/or Apple.

Ironically, forcing this onto Google might be the best thing for Android, as it's the openness the platform really needed to compete against Apple, but costs Google too much revenue to ever do it if left to their own decision.

The reason that isn't too much of a problem is that if an app is only available on one store, a significant fraction of people will simply not install it. Businesses don't want to lose customers like that, but the mere fact that they could will force Monopoly App Store to act more reasonably.

We'll probably see 3-4 major stores that manage to get enough mindshare for people to actually install them, and a lot of apps available on a 2-ish-store subset of them.
Pulmonary fibrosis. The very name sounds ominous, doesn’t it? It conjures up images of tangled threads slowly strangling your lungs, and honestly, that’s not too far from the truth. If you’re reading this, you’re probably either trying to understand a loved one’s diagnosis or you’ve just gotten some tough news yourself. Either way, this article is designed to give you straight answers no sugarcoating, no vague medical jargon—just the raw, honest truth about this complex disease.

By the time you finish reading, you’ll know exactly how pulmonary fibrosis (PF) kills, how it’s diagnosed, treated, and why it wreaks havoc on the heart. Plus, you’ll get a clear picture of how it progresses over time, just so there are no unpleasant surprises down the line. Get ready, because we're going to explore deeply into the world of scarred lungs, weakened hearts, and frustratingly slow progress in modern medicine.

> This "precision versus quantity" argument played out to greatly favor precision in Ukraine.

Yes, but the defining attribute of the Ukraine war seems to be CHEAP precision - the ability of drones to respond and attack car-sized targets in real time is what has turned this war into a slog.

The American-made stuff is great, but I've seen multiple examples of Ukrainian missile crews reacting contemptuously to the idea that they could use a Javelin/NLAW to take out an older Soviet piece of equipment; that kind of task seems to be reserved for Soviet-era weapons or (preferably) drones.
If you just need to host a static page, then sure something like Express is a much better fit. But most web applications have at least some if not all of the following:

- Auth, sessions, secure cookie handling, etc.

- DB interaction

- View templates, layouts, etc.

- SPA-like interactivity

- Form handling & validation

- File uploads

- Asset handling

- Emails

- Background jobs

- Security (CSRF, XSS, SQL injection, etc.)

- Logging

- Internationalization

- Testing

- Real-time functionality

With Node/Express, you're either searching for other people's libraries to use and integrate, which aren't guaranteed to synergize, or writing it yourself. You have all of that baked into Rails, tucked away neatly so you only have to write and focus on what matters. You also have an opinionated architecture so you know exactly where all the custom business logic should go.

I think if you have extremely simple requirements, or you're at a stage where you want to learn all these things by doing it yourself, it would make sense not to use Rails. But if you want to focus on delivering value ASAP, Rails (or similar frameworks like Django) are for sure the way to go.

Which in turn will mean more expensive products.

And which products will the consumer buy? The better priced one...

If someone has two choices that can provide the same output, and one of them makes it more effort to figure out how to do, then people will do the other one more often. There's no inherent virtue is spending effort to do something equivalent. It's not clear to me why you seem to think that pointing this out deserves a sarcastic response.
I don't see how this isn't the filter still working. A polite end to the conversation and self-selection is just as useful to me as being scolded.

I've used the same test (simply reference Ayn Rand in a non-disparaging context when topical) and it's fantastic what the results are as far as actually finding independent, open, and prosocial people.

There's a narrow band of people that will actually give Rand a fair shot and treat her objectively without also mentioning that they're also in Mensa and into Agorism (the opposite and ironic red flags of slavishness to Objectivism).

With that narrow band of people you can have any conversation and explore any topic because they have their own thoughts! And I'd rather discover who is and isn't a member of that set early on.

In short, not a bug, will not fix.
I assume you looked at the various Postgres functions, like width_bucket()?

+1 that would be very useful. This mirror implementation at least mirrors the official wordpress.org plugin json metadata and checksum files so you can verify as well https://github.com/centminmod/wordpress-plugin-mirror-poc#ho...

Though still limiting as you can only checksum files after plugin installation. You probably need a staging WordPress install to verify mirror plugins before rolling out for production usage

Been mucking around with huge doses of B Vitamins (especially B3/Niacin) and 5-HTP (a serotonin precursor). Both of those are rather, uh, effectful. 500mg+ Niacin will turn you red unless you're actually deficient. And you do not want to mess with the 5-HTP and alcohol at the same time, plus 5-HTP can cause some nasty side effects in some people.

Seems like a nice way to have some weird dreams while probably improving my health (high dose B vitamins seem to do great things for mental disorder and the only apparent downside is colorful piss and possibly turning into a cherry).

You will be better able to deal with the possibility of violence if you can stop "hating" it. A way not to hate violence is to understand it. Hating violence is like hating sickness... or extreme youth. Sick people can heal. Young people can grow. Hating about these things will either have no effect or, at worst, delay the improvement process.

Generally, people want to be respected. Show them respect and they are likely to calm down.

Generally, if someone is weirdly upset with you, and you know you did nothing particular to provoke it, then their anger is not ABOUT you, EVEN IF it is directed toward you. Usually, showing empathy and sympathy and respect will have a good effect, here.

Above all, be as patient as you can. The emotionally more stable person must hold his emotions in check while the less stable one goes through his own process.

I have been the angry guy, defused by a patient listener. I have also been the defuser. I once managed to get a psychotic fellow to leave the middle of a street in Manhattan, and got him to yell at me for 20 minutes so that normal traffic could resume. I listened to him (demons were invading NYC and he wanted to warn people). I also once came within a few seconds of using my car as a battering ram in road rage caused indirectly by personally devastating news from the previous day. I was in a fragile state and didn't realize it.

Don't hate violence, as such. Hate the effects of it or the necessity of it. But if you can stay calm in the face of ungovernable emotions of others, you will make the world better for everyone.

Worth noting that Ukraine had nuclear weapons and negotiated them away in exchange for a promise that Russia would not use nuclear weapons against them.
It matters because Google got to the current state (Play Store installed on more devices than it would have been) through anti-competitive behavior.

Ergo, the redress isn't to say "Keep the ill gotten gains, but don't do it any more" -- it's to attempt to return things to the competitive playing field that might have existed if Google hadn't broken the law.

From that perspective, forcing them to use their market share to distribute alternatives makes sense.
Highly denormalized tables are often the norm simply because the tables weren’t properly normalized to begin with, and the data model wasn’t properly done, such that reasonable joins are overly difficult.

OLAP is of course its own problem, and most of the best practices for OLTP do not apply.

Ugh, micropayments again! I have no desire to pay for content or software -- torrents and OSS are all anyone needs.
EINTR's design is one of computing's absolute classics. To MIT and New Jersey, we should add the McDougals approach: "I cannot work under these conditions." When faced with the PC loser-ing issue, just don't implement the code in question.

McDougals resolves the apparent conflict between the other two. It blames the interrupt hardware as the root cause. It produces non-working, incomplete software. It's kind of a modest proposal.

However, it also produces no ripples in the design fabric. With MIT, the OS source is a maintenance nightmare. With NJ, modern software still has to deal with archaic idiosyncrasies like EINTR. With McDougals, all the "conflict-free" portions of the software advance, those that write themselves.

The result is likely immediately shelved, perhaps as an open source PoC. Over time, someone might write some inelegant glue that makes interrupts appear to behave nicely. Alternatively, the world might become perfect to match the software.

If nothing else, the software will have mimicked the way we learn. We use imperfect examples to draw the idealized conclusion. Even if it never gets to run, it will be more readable and more inspiring than either MIT or NJ.
Obviously this is just a binomial distribution, but another thing to consider I suppose would be if all trials are performed sequentially or simultaneously. If performed sequentially, on the one hand, you have a non-zero chance of not needing to expend the subsequent trials; on the other hand, it seems reasonable to think there might be a degraded (or increased!) probability for each sequential trial. If conducted simultaneous, similarly, it seems reasonable to think that that the individual chance of success is higher due to saturation of one form or another, but you are also guaranteed to expend all resources.

Point is just that it seems a little silly to try to reductively do these calculations - seems meaningless to try to compare without more information…

It seems like this should be possible since Rosetta2 is (supposedly) a transpiler and so it's (supposedly) really running M1 code under the hood, but I haven't been able to figure out a way to call out to native M1 code.
Idk how they wouldn't compete in terms of financials.

They are in effect the specced-down mass production version of the F-22 and are comparable in terms of cost relative to similar fifth generation fighters (and even comparable to many fourth generation fights) but go toe to toe with or outperform the competition.

This stacks the deck such that the F-35 will be a peer to or superior to any "opposition" aircraft or anti-air weapon system while the US keeps the F-22 around to serve as a dogfighter that is reserved for fighting the rare circumstance of something that's legitimately a threat to an F-35.
How does the mesh (zero-server) work under-the-hood? What are some example of applications you see being possible with this library?

Switchblade 600’s have the same warhead as the Javelin. With 8.5kg of explosives, it’s an entirely different category of weapon than the drones you’re thinking of which had closer to 200g of explosives.
If we look at the Pixel 4a which was a 5"8 screen, straight in the middle of the mini (5"4) and the regular iPhone (6"1). It had extremly good sales, and of course the super low price is a major factor in it, but it also was very well reviewed and people flocked to it as one of the best smallish phone at the time.

Then of course Google just went bigger for their garbage 5G variant of it which just trashed battery life, and all subsequent phones doing ML with the Tensor processor also went bigger.

It makes me think it's not a matter of commercial success, or even if there's a market for it. The issue is probably the massive incentives on the maker side to push a bigger battery to deal with more computation and push the device price upper to get better margins.
