You are playing with the semantics of sober/intoxicated. Intoxicated (in this context) refers to exogenous modulators of neurochemistry, which activate distinct signalling pathways compared to endogenous ligands:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_selectivity#Example...

This accounts for the “alien” character of the psychedelic experience, which is not an attribute normally used for sober mystical experiences.

> Importantly, the mysticism scale is not a “drug induced mysticism scale.”

Yes, hence my argument: while this scale identifies similarities between sober/intoxicated experiences, it doesn’t give an exhaustive description and overlooks that there might be just as many differences.

The same argument goes for the perennialist view of mysticism. Different doctrines might share the end goal, but the chosen path can be experienced very differently. I guess my point is to not stipulate one path as representative of all paths which arrive at the same destination. The end goal in fact lays outside doctrine.

Medfield was faster than A9 and Qualcomm Krait in performance, but not so much in power (see Motorola Razr i vs M where the dual-core ARM version got basically the same battery life as the single-core x86 version).

Shortly after though, ARM launched A15 and the game was over. A15 was faster per clock while using less power too. Intel's future Atom generations never even came close after that.
In the journey of learning, it is certainly a good point when our understanding grows so great, that we can point to things that are unknown and claim with certainty that they are bullshit.

It is no easy feat, as to denounce a concept as bullshit, we need to effectively prove a negative, which depends on knowing either all of the things adjacent to that subject, or most of them, and coming to the conclusion that it's not like the others.

It's like learning that Astrology and Phrenology are not like Astronomy, or Psychology.

> The less public reason is so that it doesn't extract all money to a foreign corporation through license/patent fees (dividends are taxed more).

Purchase tax would fix it by taxing money "on exit" on foreign purchases of anything. This also works as a tariff without singling out any foreign country as a target for tariff.

> VAT with progressive rate based on item class and price.

Here's your bureaucracy. VAT classification is huge catalog that many businesses are trying to gamble to jump to lower tax rate. Creating it, updating it, adhering to it is a huge pile of decentralized and distributed bureaucracy.

What you are proposing is a spaghetti of solutions. Every interface between the parts and every solution itself is an attack surface for tax dodgers.

Genral purchase tax is unified framework on all transactions that can consistently extract money from the rich through taxing all their spending that intrudes on the markets only when you specifically wish to and gives you clear tool for intrusion in the form of tax credits for specific market actors for whatever reason you wish.

> That Israel has a bit of a special status in Germany shouldn't come as a surprise considering Germany's history between 1933 and 1945.

It absolutely must. That history involved concentrating, starving, murdering people en masse, and blaming them for it in huge media campaigns, after all. Genocide isn't about about Germans that to Jews, and it's not okay to treat it this superficially.

Taking German history seriously and trials for Netanyahu and the people who supplied and supply him with weapons are inseparable.

You would need to fit the 389B parameters in VRAM to have a speed that is usable. Different experts are activated on a per token basis, so you would need to load/unload a large chunk of the 52B active parameters every token if you were trying to offload parameters to system RAM or SSD. PCIE 4.0 x16 speed is 64GB/s, so you can load those active parameters maybe 1 or 2 times per second, yielding an output speed of 1-2 tokens per second, which most would consider "unusable".

Oh yeah, it was just hyperbole. I really do think that natural human promiscuity áttern involves more a facade of monogamy and "cheating" than simultaneous sex (I do think it's an event, and it has been claimed to be related to the mushroom shape of the glans).

Cheating promsicuity is probably the case for most primates, and certainly the case for many mammals as shown by their preference to mate during the dark.

It relates to paternity certainty and mate jealousy/protection, which is again, present in most species.

> Remote dev gives you as beefy a machine as you want, with the fastest network and lowest bandwidth.

Yes and no. Realistically, the range between the beefiest possible remote server and the beefiest possible workstation is what, one order of magnitude? So in a growing environment doing remote dev will maybe let you kick the can down the road a year or two, but you'll still have to deal with whatever was causing your requirements to grow pretty soon.

> But that's only the resource problem. Another problem I have seen my entire career, is devs can't keep their machines configured the same. They have different model laptops, they don't pin their app versions, they configure and install things by hand. Each time they change something by accident it takes them hours, days, sometimes weeks, to get it working again.

> Finally, it's rare for local setups to be secure. Often devs get too much access from their local machines, and this is stolen by infostealer malware and compromise happens. A protected remote environment is easier to secure. A lot of development is hampered by all the crappy corporate security tools that's on laptops now. Remote dev allows you to bypass all that and have a fully working yet protected network without restrictions.

This isn't a remote versus local question, it's a question of how much control developers have over their environment and how much you manage and standardise what's installed. You can have a fully locked down local machine where developers can't install anything except a short whitelist (of course you may get some pushback) and you can have a remote VM where developers curl|sh whatever random repack of Python they wanted this week - I've seen both these things happen in practice.

Security junkware I sort of agree with you, but I think that's more of an artifact of bad laws/policies and if and when remote dev takes off we'll see just as much junkware on remote dev machines as on local ones.
Since others have mentioned them already: yes, this is what feature flag systems are for. They're not just for rollouts and experiments, though they're good at that too. Where they're especially good is with targeting rules, but more on that later.

There are already several good open source and commercial flag systems[1], some of which have SDKs for many different server-side and client-side languages, e.g. Growthbook[2].

At its most basic, a feature flag client SDK lets you evaluate a variable instantly, without blocking/async, because the variable was already fetched and cached when your app started up. The SDK also maintains an ongoing background mechanism of some kind to keep that cache updated with changes from the server; the most popular method is polling (i.e. re-fetch the variables every X seconds) but a more effective way is to keep a single long-lived HTTP connection open to the server and listen for Server-Sent Events. The SDK should also, ideally, emit in-app events whenever changes arrive.

Targeting rules are what make feature flags much more useful: they allow you to define logic that changes the evaluation of a flag depending on context. For example: enabling new features or new code versions depending on who the current user is, or which server is handling the request, or the current time of day. Sure, this is all logic you could do in code, but then every change to that logic requires an update and restart. Having the logic stored and communicated with the flag gives you a separate level of control that's much easier and faster to change.

So yeah, what you're doing here is creating yet another feature flag system. Even if you're saying "but this is meant for simpler stuff" I would honestly just go with an existing, somewhat mature system like Posthog or Growthbook than invest any more engineering time in this, unless you have major use cases in mind that they don't support - and even then, I would be careful. Simplicity alone does not give you any real advantage that is worth the effort.

It requires 2^(x-1) levers to guarantee you can precisely toggle the state of all the doors. You have add other restrictions, e.g. that all doors must be controlled by at least one lever, all doors must have at least one lever that does not control them, then X levers would be sufficient.

With three doors, you have levers (1,0,0), (0,1,0), (1,1,0) and any fourth unique non null lever. In general, you have a set of 2^(x-1) levers that don't touch the Xth door, and then you replace the null lever with anything that includes the Xth door and you are fine.

> One of the "chapters" in my presentation was about traceroute, and it more or less said "Don't use it, because you don't know how, and almost nobody you'll talk to does either, so try your best to ignore them." This is not just my opinion, it's backed up by people much more experienced than me. For a good summary I highly recommend this presentation.

I'm being pedantic but this paragraph was bizarre to read. You are basically telling us we or anyone we know won't know enough about traceroute not to use it but you and many people you know do know enough. It is presumptuous but also inconsistent. Are there people who know, or not?
> more you complicate the election process, particularly the more meta-information you add - such as predictions, polls, early results - the more it drives people to play silly meta-games

Agree with the former. Not the latter. Our elections are complicated because the process is complicated. To the degree I most appreciate polling, it's around things like ballot measures.

Traceroute is often useful because it almost always diagnoses LAN vs. WAN issues. Since most home routers/modems will send TTL Exceeded and so will most edge ISP routers, it is often the quickest way to see where the problem is when there is little or no connectivity.
> Maybe the main FOSS browser will be a Chromium fork so it's cheaper to maintain?

Likely not. If the fork would need to fight against any privacy-threatning actions, it will start to be quite different.

You would need to fight them too if there is something controversial, and the code is getting different, again.
