You disagree — perhaps I’m wrong.

But that you responded with rhetoric rather than pointing out where I’m wrong suggests you don’t have an answer to what would change the outcome.

Not even his allies believe in the “Victory Plan” — and several started talking about calling Putin after reading it.

If you think I’m wrong, stop engaging in empty rhetoric and explain what you think will allow Ukraine to win… because nobody seems to know, not even Zelensky.

> APL could work well with gpus

I've seen at least an APL implementation running on top of Julia, thanks to macros.

Julia has good GPU support, and it makes it easy to compose that support with any library.

However, kdb+ and q, which are APL descendants, have good GPU support already: https://code.kx.com/q/interfaces/gpus. But licenses are not cheap...
It's crazy to me that custom sprays existed at all in any capacity for so long. They were novel and sometimes funny but man, I really don't miss the days at all of playing a game and having your roommate/family ask why your computer screen is plastered with goatse or meatspin or the like. I remember more than a handful of awkward conversations trying to explain WHY that wasn't actually part of the game itself.

Others are commenting on the “abrasiveness” and other emotional aspects of this post, and I guess I am just too little a fan (of python) to see it. I have nothing against it, I’m just not a fan...

...of python or of anything else.

Well, with the possible exception of bash, which is my go-to for those first few rounds of hacking, and which sometimes gets me into trouble when I stick with it too long, unless and of course it is obvious that something else is better suited.

(Like two years ago when I wrote a queue management orchestrator for our core security product using C because it HAD to be fast, and since I am stronger in C than Rust. I would have preferred Rust, for traits and safety, but I didn’t know it well enough and needed to get to 1.0 fast, so C it was.)

Anyway, my point is that while perhaps wordier than it needed to be, TFA is spot-on: don’t use your favourite tool unless it also happens to be a right tool for the job (and there are almost always more than one right tool).

Seems like something we should all know.
Expression of thought is free. As brazilians we don't have the right to censor others, we have the right to answer and to be compensated for damages. The original insult is not censored.

I cited all the relevant parts of the constitution in a previous post:

I could not find the exception you spoke of in the constitution.

I agree with you about the irregular and illegal nature of the orders. The judge did not even give the defense lawyers the details. This is not how a civilized nation does things.
No, because that's a straw man. The idea is that the Soviets were not looking to be in a half-century-long dick-measuring contest with the US, with the fate of the biosphere in the balance, and that the impetus for much of their expansionism and antagonism was the selfsame posturing that we claimed was our response to their antagonism. This is tantamount to the stance that Henry A. Wallace - the man who would have been president after FDR's death if not for the DNC pulling a Kamala at the 1944 convention - took (even if he walked that back amidst McCarthyism).

I'm not saying that the US and Soviets ever would have been strict allies like we became with Japan, but a calmer entry to the post-war period might have cooled nerves and prevented the worst excesses of the Cold War. Do they seek the bomb? Do they ruin Afghanistan? Do we have flashpoints in Korea, Vietnam, South America? Are we still dealing with the negative ramifications of these events, decades on? And, in this hypothetical alternate history, did we have to employ and grant amnesty to literal Nazis to counter Soviets threatened by the Truman Doctrine? We can't know, but surely it's believable. Unless you think that mid-century communists were evil and irrational (and I suppose that you could (not me)).

> The market as a whole is completely zero sum in my view.

How is it even possible to believe this? How do you think societies should manage their resources and plan for the future, if not a market? Soviet style central planning, or a cash and barter only economy? And if the answer is that we should have a market, then the market is providing some utility (because if it was providing neutral or negative utility then why have it) and is therefore not zero sum.
The logical conclusion of this line of thinking is that you must then believe there to be a moral
obligation to always pay service people in cash and avoid paying taxes at every possible opportunity.

Do I understand your position correctly?

Most of them don't allow any amount of app control whatsoever unless they have an internet connection. LAN-only app interaction is apparently basically non-existent in this market, for some reason. You can usually use them without giving a wifi connection, but then you can do nothing more than "push a button on the robot to start cleaning the house" and it just runs an automatic/default scheme -- no customization.

Basically the reality is, because you're held hostage by the very few manufacturers making these also gating most functionality behind "let us surveil your entire home permanently".

Back when I was playing with DIY Drones, there were a bunch of projects using optical mouse sensors to do visual position hold at low altitudes. There was a fairly well known way to swap out the lens, then you'd get a 16x16 or 32x32 pixel "image" stream, which was good enough to do feature detection and at the same time made that feature detection way less computationally expensive than hi resolution video feeds.

I strongly suspect anything a robot vac does with cameras could easily be done with super low resolution sensors. Even if you needed to put 2 of them in stereo to get depth perception that maybe you could compute from HD video.
The problem with what CEOs like Page do here is that they are out of touch. It’s easy to say things like this when everyone is paid to listen to you and do whatever you want.

You can make these bold statements that sound insightful but at the end of the day there are many reasons why I would like to talk to some teammates, or another team, that don’t have an action or a decision attached to it.

After being fully remote for over five years now, I will say something unpopular and that is face time is valuable. Humans are complicated and empathetic and value is lost if we only ever interact in a slack thread or over a faceless Zoom call where I just stare at your name on a black box for 30 minutes.

Meetings without an agenda are a waste of time? I guess you just don’t value human contact at all, so that tells me more about you than it does about the quality of your meetings. Me? I can learn a lot about how a project is going simply by listening and watching someone talk about it and that context will be completely stripped from an email, chat or zoom tile.

But CEOs are widely considered to be overrepresented with dark triad psychological traits. We shouldn’t be surprised when they just don’t get people and want to throw away things they can’t immediately extract value from.

I was having this discussions the other day where my boss thinks these wiki list and Forbes list are some sort of ground truth.

The Forbes list only include people who Forbes want it to be listed and / or are public record. For example Michael Bloomberg is included but he is not even on the Bloomberg billionaires list, simply because Forbes want to expose him. And there were plenty of Billionaires in China who wasn't listed before lots of information becomes public. And I would imagine the same for Brazil, India or lots of other countries.

These list can only include people by their stock market cap or worth. It doesn't include people who are in the property market and basically own or operate via private equity. And there are plenty of billionaires in the property market. Along with many other asset that we dont even know or aware.

Another thing, if a person with $10B net worth of stock for 25 years, and the stock has been paying 3% dividends per year. You will still see him listed as $10B net worth. In reality he has $10B of dividends already. ( Although in US I think dividends are taxed ). And that is excluding any investment he made with those dividends and operate completely in the dark.

Basically because the ultra wealth are so opaque I argue that inequality is actually much wider than we thought or what we could calculate.

Feudal systems are better described as local organised threat of violence.

There are castle strongholds, control of choke points, a lower strata that are required to work the land and pay tithe upwards to the military heirarchy.

Feudal systems have existed in times and locations where there was little need for military defense against external forces, they persist in form as a polite, polished, chivalrous bikie club on horses, mafia with great houses.

Why is that obscene? Presumably the person created something very valuable to the world. Sure there are zero-sum ways to generate wealth (e.g. suing people, theft, front running trades) but generally that kind of wealth comes from actually generating something that people value.
Herbert was very clever in the sense that his made up words were close to real words. They were easily guessable.
Yes and no. The problem with older or old cars is that eventually spare parts become sparsely available or downright unavailable, and even getting the normal wear and tear serviced becomes a problem. I went through it with my previous car that I owned close to 20 years, and it became a headache.

It appears that legislation is the only way to restrain nefarious parties from inflicting the data collection upon us.

The legislation has to codify the definition of the primary function of a consumable object (a car, a smart TV, a smart whatever), and any technology that does not directly assist the consumable object to fulfil its primary function, should be a strict and legally enforceable opt-in (or, better, banned) with the object manufacturer being legally held accountable for a failure to disclose the dodgy data collection or similar functions. Hefty fines, then more fines for failing to comply.

It is a windy road and a uphill journey ahead of us, and it will not be easy to counteract the misdeeds of the middle level management.

In the limit, there is a hard tradeoff between efficiency and reliability.

Failovers, redundancies, and backups are all important for building systems that are resilient in the face of problems, for reasons you've pointed out.

However, failovers, redundancies and backups are inefficient. Solving a problem with 1 thing is always going to be more efficient that solving the same problem with 10 things.

It's interesting to see this tradeoff play out in real-life. We see people coalescing around one or two services because that's the most efficient path, and then we see them diversifying across multiple services once bad things happen to the centralised services.
That is a true system of checks and balances at play

Agreed on that. My disagreement is with the statement that everything that was once referred to as high energy physics is "not looking so good". Nuclear physics in particular does not feel stuck in the way I've heard some high energy physicists talk about their field.

Right — but the question isn’t CD/DVD versus nothing. It’s CD/DVD versus USB; and which has a smaller attack surface.

I’d argue that read-only CD/DVD has a smaller attack surface than USB, so of the two, it’s preferable. I’d further argue that a CD/DVD (ie, the actual object moved between systems) is easier to inspect than USB devices, to validate the behavior.
Reminds me of the time I was looking after a SECURE system: One of the tasks was the daily update of the antivirus.

I got the Roborock Q Revo a little under a year ago, as an upgrade to a Neato Botvac 80 that had just broken down. Robot vacuums have come so far in ~8 years they're very nearly an entirely different product.

I think OP's issue with Roomba is simply that it was a Roomba (depending on when they tried it); I did a lot of searching before deciding on the Q Revo, and it seems like iRobot had been relying on the Roomba brand name for some time and until very recently was still playing catch-up. Not sure they have caught up when it comes to navigation and the control app.

A big part of modern monetary theory is taxing the newly printed money and putting it towards (wasteful) government programs to "burn it" in a sense.

Sometimes people really do build treadmills to be more exhausting and costly than you could have sensibly imagined :\

I never did like a treadmill so I always liked to keep PCs having the original Windows version that they were built for, and when a new version came out I would eventually install that to a different partition and go forward from there with the traditional built-in multibooting approach.

I've even still got two XP machines running Windows 11 that can also boot to 10 or 8 or 7 at a moment's notice, and I've got plenty of drive space to spare.

I like Windows 7 for its native ability to play DVDs like you don't get with newer Windows, so I'm always going to want one partition for W7 on every PC that actually still has a DVD player. With W7 I'm just doing office work or watching DVDs, not even doing vintage games.

Windows 11 really is continuing to increase its failure rate on millions more perfectly working hardware items with each revision, in what can only be recognized as a rehash of the old anti-recycling approach. Tonnes of unnecessary e-waste just in the last year. Is it really worth it just to get an incremental bump for a software business which could otherwise be handled as one of the most environmentally responsible companies if they really tried?

There's supposed to be a net advantage to more digital communication and cutting down less trees for paperwork. I don't know how that includes more 18-wheelers full of perfectly operational electronics being scrapped all the time just because "support" was dropped in order to sell something shiny and new. I know, you've really got to pull out all the stops when the shiny and new is not really what people want as much, and one tactic is to put up hurdles to what people actually want. And you need to make money doing it, and once that pays off numerically, the more you keep people from what they really want, the more it pays off and it can be habit forming and difficult to quit.

I'm not one to mindlessly stay connected to the internet at all times, and never allow Windows to connect except one of the fully-updated partitions, but if the trend I see continues it's only going to get easier for Linux to gain ground in the office simply by dropping the ball when it could have been carried so much further.

Kind of a stern warning that some of the major bastions of enterprise value, such as backward compatibility, may be crumbling faster than realized and it may be later than you think already.

Or they are a rent-seeker, or a straight-up thief that sucked a lot of value out of the world. (Or one of their ancestors did, etc, etc.)

Or they robbed Peter to create value for Paul, and took a share of the difference.

These are all tried and true mechanisms for wealth generation. Without any information, you shouldn't assume that their contributions were net-positive.
