> And how often has the latter actually happened?

Often enough to demonstrate that incarcerating males in women's prisons on the basis of self-declared "gender identity" is harmful policy that needs to be removed and cancelled everywhere it's been implemented.

It's worth keeping in mind that the reason we have sex-segregated prisons in the first place is because mixed-sex prisons were so demonstrably harmful to female inmates, who were subjected to physical violence, sexual assault, rape, impregnation by male prisoners.

> In any case, segregation of men and women in sports is a relatively new thing in history, dating back to around 1920-ish when the first bans for women appeared under the guise of "protecting their health / modesty". Plain and simple, men were afraid that women were just as competitive as they were, most sports are skill sports and not brute-strength sports.

You are confusing two separate things here: access to competitive sports, and having a separate female category in competitive sports. The former was denied to women for the same reasons that women were denied access to many aspects of society that men could freely enjoy. Whereas the latter - eliminating male physical advantage from competition - is necessary for fairness and, in the case of contact sports, for safety.

> Where does one want to draw the line?

Evidence-based policy approaches typically draw the line at the male physical advantage of testosterone-driven development.

So for example a male athlete with CAIS (complete insensitivity to androgens) may be permitted to compete in the women's category because testosterone was entirely ineffective from development in utereo onwards.

Whereas a male athlete with 5-ARD (impaired conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone) won't be, as the phenotype of micropenis and less facial hair doesn't eliminate the male physical advantage in sport.

This is a huge challenge with Iceberg. I have found that there is substantial bang for your buck in tuning how parquet files are written, particularly in terms of row group size and column-level bloom filters. In addition to that, I make heavy use of the encoding options (dictionary/RLE) while denormalizing data into as few files as possible. This has allowed me to rely on DuckDB for querying terabytes of data at low cost and acceptable performance.

What we are lacking now is tooling that gives you insight into how you should configure Iceberg. Does something like this exist? I have been looking for something that would show me the query plan that is developed from Iceberg metadata, but didn’t find anything. It would go a long way to showing where the bottleneck is for queries.

> More to the topic: why the hell are the US embassies reporting other countries' cities air quality? While it's a "nice" thing to do, it would be even nicer if those countries monitored that themselves. The fact that we think we need the US to do it because other countries tend to be dishonest about it is incredibly depressing.

You answered your own question, but there are also other reasons; see the first post.
This was nice to read through - not sure why it's flagged. Doesn't seem to qualify as rage bait like other stuff dang has pointed at recently.
It was my fault, and was created by a moment of absent-mindedness.

They are both correct individually, but definitely wrong when read together. I corrected it.

Thanks for reading the article and pointing out the obvious mistake. I will proofread more carefully and use a spell checker from the next time. There were some typos, too, that I corrected since then. Like 'langauge', 'equaion', etc.

I wrote the article in Jupyter Lab with a Julia kernel. I just wrote LaTeX in Markdown cells. I rendered the article with quarto and quarto is also how the blog is created. I am ignorant about how it renders LaTeX in webpages. Pandoc and MathJax seems to be involved. I am not sure.

Thank you for your compliment. I absolutely don't want people not making it any farther due to a small mistake I made. I will be more mindful about it from the next time.
I had a superday, which to their credit was paid. It was for a technical product role which they wanted to hire people with some baseline technical ability, but it wasn't a coding job. I was up front that while I can code, and do build my own projects, I'm not a app developer. The superday was an app development exercise, and they let me know I didn't pass because my app development skills were not up to snuff. Not really sure how or why that played out that way, but at least I was compensated.

Not really now that we have the AMD Strix Halo: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/02/review-asus-rog-flow....

The only available SKU right now is the above one that is a weird gaming tablet/laptop that seems to not be good in either (too heavy for a tablet, too cramped for laptop usage), but the performance is definitely there (similar performance of RTX 4060 for laptop, using a similar TDP of only the GPU for the whole APU) and you also have 32GB of unified memory for LLMs. Also, the chipset itself supports up to 128GB of RAM, so technically in future we could have an even better SKUs for LLMs (but nothing announced yet AFAIK).
And game consoles that use similar parts as laptops.
Good to know. Still, is it viable option?
Buying i.e. AMD Threadripper for 2.5k$, motherboard and ram for 2k$ and i.e. 4 GPUs for 4k$ to have total of 96GB of VRAM? Total should be around 10k$ which is roughly price of Intel GPU specifically for AI if I am not mistaken? Which option would be better performance wise.

There are a lot of Americans travelling to or working in China, it is in their interest if nothing else to know the true values.
Of all the things that will be affected by tarrifs, physical game media seem the least important.
I am not American. I'm just, like many, influenced by your propaganda.

It is very possible that Americans in the 70s where as dumb as they are today, no way for me to confirm it, apart from the fact that a lot of nonsense that's happening today was not happening then, so that has to count for something.

If it helps, the idiocy is not a purely American phenomenon but widespread and now affecting the younger generations. As someone with a Gen-Z sibling, the illiteracy of that generation, grown on Youtube and Tiktok, is utterly mind-boggling. A large contingent of them voted for conservatives and fascists just "for the memes." Back in my day, young people tended to be idealistic and progressive. Fighting for something. Hoping to be better and more open-minded than their parents. I squarely blame this shift on the social like-and-subscribe upvote-driven Internet.

Note that there have been rumours about Discord preparing to go public, I reckon this might be made in preparation for it. I think it is a wise move to offer an alternative.

The design is very similar to Discord, could this possibly even go to a copyright breach or is the bar for that set too high?
Who does this, and how can they tell?
The "fit" itself is the goal. It is not like water flowing in a direction guided by the terrain. Trees produce thorns to keep away animals. You could say that thorns worked best among multiple options that were tried. But the question is, why is the tree trying out with option at all. Why should it protect itself from animals? Why should it grow and reproduce? A rock boulder, lying next to the tree, doesn't seem to have these goals or intentions.

The water flow has the motivation driven by gravitational force. What is driving the motivation behind the growth the reproduction of an organism? In fact, life, growth and build go against the principle of least action that governs the physical universe.

And I'm not sure why someone has evolved the intention of downvoting me.
I think the implication is that discord is designed for profit, not you.
Other people might say it's a great way to self-moderate its network.
And then they will say, "You see? Government doesn't work. We must privatize this service."

And they will hand that contract to their friends.
lol, or how to easily filter out a few users who can't take a joke.
How is open-source supposed to compete without access to Apple's certificates? If you are constantly forced to override the warnings about unsigned software, assuming your system even allows you in the first place, how much friction before less technical users give up?

Code signing is good, I like it, I approve, but it is a big obstacle for me personally and others who cannot afford Apple Developer Credentials.

>> But once they eat up all the market share, the story would start to change.

You may be right. But at the moment this is just speculation. Just like happened from Japan and Korea, the quality ramped up quickly. And yes, companies age, and as they do so quality drops off. And another rises in it's place. That's literally the issue you're seeing now with US and European goods.

>> Just think about the product from TEMU.

Interestingly the quality there is climbing too.
Not everywhere has the death penalty. Some countries are civilized.

There are two non-moral reasons I can think of:

- Polution travels all over the globe, everyone eventually is impacted.
Movie cameras have something called "shutter angle".

I 100% agree with this, and much prefer reading blog content than micro-blogging threads (regardless of platform). I no longer read anything anyone links to on Twitter, since it now requires a login to see replies to tweets. Whenever I see a link to a Mastodon instance or to Bluesky, I sigh, but usually still click through if it sounds interesting.

But at the same time, I get it. Setting up a blog may not be hard, but it's still more work than starting a Twitter thread. And there are some people who have claimed they just don't have the attention span to write a blog post, so if they were forced to do that (instead of form their thoughts as a series of tweets), they just wouldn't write at all. I think that (if true) is a bit sad, but it is what it is, and I have a lot of respect for people who find something that works (for them), rather than continuously banging their head against something that doesn't, just because it's "the right way to do things".

Nowadays, though, considering the direction Twitter has gone in, I frankly find it a little gross that left-leaning people still use it.
With emphasis on few. I'd wager less than 0.01% of potential users would be butthurt enough by that joke to avoid the platform as a whole. And the ones who got butthurt, probably better off not having them on the platform in the first place.
Lol, the design of discord is identical to about 9000 chat apps no?
It seems strange that someone would be offended by the US variant being called "simplified" spelling — wasn't that the whole point?

> 1. Being plagued by spam,

An overstated problem IMO. Even just Thunderbird's client-side filtering works well enough to mostly ignore it and just occasionally go sweep through the spam folder to see if anything was caught inadvertantly. If you run your own server you can also setup whatever spam filter you want but personally I care more about real people being able to contact me than I care about never seing any spam (subjects only, pretty easy to tell what is worth openingn from subject + sender).

> 2. Being considered spam by major mail services (where most of one’s recipients will usually reside)?

Which may or may not be a problem for a personal mail server. Personally I have never had any problem with Gmail (YMMV) which at this point covers pretty much everyone I know who doesn't run their own server. Microsoft doesn't like my server due to others on the same block but so far I have decided that's not my problem.
Sure, I do journal for myself and do a lot of in-person teaching/coaching, but presumably the original article is geared towards those who still choose to write publicly, which I now rarely do.

No offense taken, but I had been blogging _way_ before my marketing tech startup (which itself is almost a decade old). It's not so much about the metrics, it's that there are far higher-leverage things I can do than publish articles that only a handful of people will ever see.
Or "new". maintain discipline and rigorously avoid using new in an name. There is very little that is more soul crushing than having to explain how new-server is a legacy installation and will be replaced by new-new-server any day now.

Names have a strange duality, they are simultaneously the least and most important part of any system. least in that the name does not actually provide any load bearing strength, most, in that not only is it how you talk and share ideas about the thing, once it is in place it is the most difficult part to change.

I used to think programmers were bad at naming things. then I started reading math proofs. mathematicians are absolutely terrible at it. the worst are programs derived directly from math proofs.
Thanks. That does sound like it could be a pragmatic solution, if they go through with it.
> How is open-source supposed to compete without access to Apple's certificates?

Does the license of your application somehow prevent you from following whatever Apple wants to do regarding signing? I think there are plenty of apps/games out there built on FOSS technology yet they're still signed and run like anything else signed on macOS, but maybe I remember incorrectly?
I'm pretty sure I use many open-source projects that have Apple's certificates.

So the only question is communities desire. There is no technical problem here.
Dear Teacher,everything is screwed, we are aiming low, and have no fucks left to give.

> isn't the design/UX part of what you're looking for?

I think this applies to the original target audience, namely gamers, but as a general purpose chat application, e.g. as a support channel for software projects, the UI design of Discord is indeed atrocious.

Of course, this begs the question why these projects adopted Discord in the first place. I guess the lack of a better alternative (that is not self-hosted)?

IDK whether you know it, but in case you don't—you articulated Cippola's definition "stupid is one causing harm to others while not deriving any gain, even taking a small personal loss" above. If you are interested further, I encourage you to check his pamphlet "The Basic Laws Of Human Stupidity". (is "book" too big word for it?)

I must say I got a lot out of it and it's followups. It became much easier for me to understand the world around me, what is happening. And even predict what's to happen sometimes.

What you observe with Trump admin: 1) it's stupidity; 2) it's not low IQ or lack of rationality; 3) it's lack of morals, not caring about good/bad, or even considering good what the rest consider bad (and vice versa); 4) it's social more than individual, it's a "mind virus". (ha!-Musk)

That is the reason I made the mistake initially. They both were correct in my mind.

But that's no excuse for the mistake, and I made a correction.
Wireguard does not re-resolve dns when your dyndns ip changes. This ip change is common in parts of Europe where it usually changes daily. To circumvent this you need a jumphost or similar. This again brings additional issues when you don’t want to go through the jumphost when at home (I use nftables-magic on the router, but it’s not very nice).
In many countries, gambling winnings are not taxed. I'm guessing the argument was that this wasn't really gambling.

Yup, port forwarding is always a big win over any VPN, for real. No random stutter, no random disconnection, no random DERP fallback. It's just that ISPs are killing home port forwarding with CGNAT.
forward secrecy seems to apply to realtime connections, not to messages sent over SMTP.

now what's interesting here is a potential future development of deltachat where SMTP is only used to negotiate the peer to peer connection, and the actual chat messages are sent over the direct connection. although it sounds kind of weird to build a chat solution on top of SMTP and then bypass SMTP in the end.

the remaining benefit would be the ability to talk to people who don't use deltachat. not needing another account on a new service. not needing to develop or maintain server infrastructure.

I did my own experiments and it looks like (surprisingly) Q4KM models often outperforms Q6 and Q8 quantised models.

For bigger models (in range of 8B - 70B) the Q4KM is very good, there are no any degradation compared to full FP16 models.

The biggest selling point of Discord is its insane network effects. There are servers for libraries/frameworks, languages, ai/ml, math, whatever you can think of. And a lot of the adjacent ones will cross-link scheduled events and messages from other servers.

I'm really hoping for an alternative. I'm always weary of en-shitification whenever a single platform wins all the users.. like what has happened to Reddit.
