> If it is your contention that suffering is something-other-than-subjective, then you're the one trying to be edgy.

You do feel pain and hunger, at least to the extent you experience touch. You can in fact be even more certain of that than anything conventionally thought to be objective, physical models of the world, for it is only through your perception that you receive those models, or evidence to build those models.

The notion of suffering used in the paper is primarily with respect to pain and pleasure.

Now, you may deny that shrimp feel pain and pleasure. It's also possible to deny that other people feel pain and pleasure. But you do feel pain and pleasure, and you always engage in behaviors in response to these sensations; your senses also inform you secondarily that many other people abide by similar rules.

Many animals like us are fundamentally sympathetic to pain and pleasure. That is, observing behavior related to pain and pleasure impels a related feeling ourselves, in certain contexts, not necessarily exact. This mechanism is quite obvious when you observe parents caring for their young, herd behavior, etc.. With this established, some people are in a context where they are sympathetic to observed pain and pleasure of nonhuman animals; in this case shrimp rather than cats and dogs, and such a study helps one figure out this relationship in more detail.
Can you clarify? Trump got them rich parents and hired at tech startups before they exploded? In 2005? And because wealthy people can afford expensive homes, the people of America voted Trump?
Sorry, no idea what Onyx's inventory status / fulfillment time is.

I'd bought mine a few years back through their online store. Arrived in a few days as I recall.

Onyx refresh their offerings frequently, though older models typically still sell for a while. You might be between offerings.

You can also likely buy used from online sales sites (e.g., Craigslist, eBay).

I'm not sure that's analogous to "best practices" like "do not repeat yourself (DRY)" or "don't use GOTO". These are little more than stylistic choices that claim to offer more maintainable code. Comparable "best practices" in other engineering fields would be along the lines of "do not chamfer/fillet until the end of modelling" (one I have heard before).

Analyzing a CAD model as you describe is more like running a compiler or type checker on code already written, which is the norm in software too, but is not within in the vein of the topic of discussion.

Sure. I'm really happy to debate the substance of these designs, because it is interesting and should drive decisions.

> The relay isn't secondary. proof of the matter is, bluesky last week went down because it was down.

Mmm kind of. The data is primarily stored in the PDSes and there can be a plurality of relays and appviews, none of which are considered authoritative / primary. If a relay goes down, anybody downstream of it is (fire)hosed, but that's just systems.

One useful observation -- the relay is a convenience we implemented so that work can be shared. Generally speaking an appview (or any other service) could crawl PDSes directly & sync their event streams. You're right that a ban from the bsky relay is going to affect visibility among anybody downstream of it, and that a relay monoculture would centralize control. This is why we have an organizational goal to get other independent relays running.

Regarding costs, there's a laws of physics thing at play. If you want global activity in your app, you're going to pay for it like we are. However -- if youre happy with a subset that's similar to ActivityPub, you can setup an appview which selectively syncs according to the social graphs of registered users and other known links (like URIs of replied-to posts). You could attach it to a PDS if you wanted. You then might want an additional layer for push-notifying peers for activity outside their existing social graph, though that's somewhat optional (you can get a pretty rich dataset from a pull-based crawl model). If it turned out that the global view was cost prohibitive for any org, this is the implementation I'd push for people to develop. This "mode" was in our original plans but cut for time; it's not something the protocol needs to prescribe for or against.

>I think you're overestimating how taxing going "viral" is on an ActivityPub server. if one of your posts goes viral, it doesn't get hit for every follower you have. It'll only be a request per instance.

Maybe you're right. But we wanted to target an aggressively low capital and management cost for account hosting.

One funeral at a time is true but “standing on the shoulders of giants” is also true and there is absolutely good science done without redoing all experiments since Newton, like there is a bad science standing on the sand hill of the other bad science. Having distrust by itself will not make one a good scientist and so it can’t be “the essence of science”.

It *is* misleading because Apple saying that Safari supports a feature doesn't actually mean that the feature in question actually works.

Rather than go through every single point (because I don't have all day), I'll just pick one:

> IndexedDB API

> W3C recommended standard in 2015. Supported in Safari in 2014.

No.

It didn't work in 2014, it wasn't working until 2016. (see: https://gist.github.com/nolanlawson/08eb857c6b17a30c1b26)

So what? It was recommended in 2015 and was working in 2016, what's the big deal?

The big deal is that if you tried to see if you could use it at all, you would get false information:

```js

function indexedDBOk() {

return "indexedDB" in window;

}

```

This returned true on Safari, all of the functions did, and a bunch of them looked like they worked too, until they completely bugged out.

So we couldn't use them until it was fixed, *and* because you can't reliably use features until the last two major versions of a browser support those feature and because Safari releases updates locked to OS updates, that means that it wasn't what most would consider "supported" until nearly 2018.

That feature that every other browser had working since 2012 wasn't "working" until almost 2018, for Safari, and worse than that 6 year difference, they lied about it working.

So you could spend 6 months working on a project, release your product, then get inundated with bad reviews because it didn't work for half the population with iPhones.

And instead of improving your project, you have to either try to retrofit the base storage layer of your app, or build a new product based on a different tech. That's assuming you were lucky enough to have the runway to continue and not just have your project fail.

They weren't just late, they lied and those lies harmed developers.

I wish you had read the comment correctly. I never said those 2 incidents have anything to do with partition.

As for the stereotypes, I took an educated guess. But then it's not just the British who look back at the imperial times with fondness. Plenty of Europeans do the same. Even many Americans, which is ironic considering the USA embraced capitalism (or at least sincerely tried to) and abhorred colonialism. Whereas most European projects were mercantilist in nature. Because they couldn't compete.

I didn't "pretend" about anything. In fact even now I'm unconvinced you don't hold these views. The only thing in doubt is that you are from the UK. Sorry if you don't believe in those things.

I have a RoboRock Q Revo that I got when it was on sale at Costco a while back. I was a bit wary that it was a Chinese brand and uses a cloud connection for control (no local option).

I believe pricing was mid 6 figures per machine. They're also like 8U and water cooled I believe.

Doesn't multiply area scale at O(n^2 * log(n)) ?? (At least, I'm pretty sure the Wallace Tree Multiplier circuit is somewhere in that order).

So a 64-bit multiplier is something like 32x more area than a 16-bit multiplier.

But what you say is correct for RAM area or the number of bits you need for register space. So taken holistically, it's difficult to say...

Okay, 64-bit FP is only like 53-bits and 16-bit FP is actually like 11 bits. But you know what I mean. I'm still doing quick napkin math here, nothing formal.

We can ignore adders and subtractor circuits because they are so small. Division is often implemented as reciprocal followed by multiplication circuits for floating point (true division is very expensive).
Yeah, i've been seriously impressed. Glad it worked for your use cases.
> You assume too much. I'm talking about languages I'm fluent in, can read and write, etc.

None of that takes anything away from what I said. The more likely bias is that you don't know much about the languages you're referring to. Whether you can read or write them doesn't even speak to these questions.

"Cleaner phonetics" doesn't have a meaning. And the idea that there's less regional variation in Spanish than English is not plausible.

> If you give me the correct spelling of any word and a short description of where the speaker is from I can give you the IPA with remarkable accuracy, a task that would be very difficult for English.

Do you usually notate that [d] and [t] in standard Spanish are generally dental rather than alveolar?

IPA is almost never used with a concern for the phonetic accuracy of the symbols. It's almost always used to indicate phonemes. You can even read John Wells arguing vehemently that correct IPA for English should use the symbols "e" and "r" because those are familiar to people who use the English alphabet.

The reference blog entry that the article refers to has further explanation - see https://ubuntu.com//blog/profile-guided-optimization-a-case-...

Summary (for building OpenSSL, Emacs, GDB, and Python) - "QEMU will be profiled only when building OpenSSL, and a new QEMU will be built using profiling data from this build"

The 5-7% improvement is seen when using QEMU on an x64 CPU to emulate a RISC-V CPU to build the 4 previously mentioned software projects.

So if you're building software that uses C, you'll probably see 5-7% improvement in RISC-V build times on an AMD x64 CPU.

I recall that Meta's BOLT optimizer can extract further reduction by optimizing software that has already been through PGO/FDO. ...assuming your workload matches the profiled workload. see https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/bolt/docs/Opt...
most "best practices" are just trends that got way out of hand. Microservices, long variable names, XML, TDD, SCRUM, OOP were just marketing concepts that turned into a cult.

Books like Code Complete are useful tools but not bibles.

Just like everything on the internet: it's just another person's opinion. What matters is what works (i.e. makes you money).
it is ok to do proof of concept. But for production, user-facing app, how are you gonna make enough money with their pricing per user? It just doesn't make any sense from a cost perspective if you're creating consumer app or low margin sass app.
> And that is what is called “UDP”. Also the “spray and pray” of the networking world. Meaning, you literally don’t get a response.

> Fundamental difference.

And that is what's is called a bad assumption. SIP also uses TCP, and these days it's pretty common for end-user facing services because of both NAT being terrible and more data being crammed in to messages leading to fragmentation issues with UDP. This particular system's services facing the open internet are 100% TCP.

> Which is exactly what ssh does and the point of why comparing the two and obscuring the port/IP makes no difference.

Yes, SSH does have a banner by default, but it's possible to change that behavior.

Sure, if an attacker is specifically targeting your IP and has some ideas what services you might be running then it's hard to entirely hide, but when you're just another system on the internet no one's going to put the effort in to look for services on odd ports.

I have dozens of systems out there running SSH on a port that's not 22 as well and most of them have never logged a SSH ban on fail2ban after years of operation.

The ones that listen on port 22 on the other hand log literally thousands a day.
Looks pretty cool, however, I'm curious about the usage of a pointer to the key slice. A slice is just two ints and a pointer, so the copy semantics is pretty cheap, and one less pointer for the GC to clean up later.

Is there some reason why you choose to pass a pointer to the slice?
Cerebras' benchmark is most likely under ideal conditions, but I'm not sure it's possible to test public cloud APIs under ideal conditions as it's shared infrastructure so you just don't know if a request is "ideal". I think you can only test these things across significant numbers of requests, and that still assumes that shared resource usage doesn't change much.
