But it is abstract, without requiring language. Driving would be a better example, the other guy put it better.

Look at my other example - maths. How do you reason about solving mathematical problems rapidly with words? Many mathematicians visualise abstract problems without using words, only using words later to attempt to write more thorough proofs.

> Your disagreement essentially amounts to "it's appropriate because it accomplishes my goal", or do I misunderstand? In a discussion of ethics that seems specious to me.

My disagreement is that the ongoing or imminent unlawful destruction of property should be allowed to be met with _appropriate_ deterring force, whether by law enforcement or by the property owners. I argue that because in a system of individual rights that include property ownership, the position that an impassioned crowd has more right to that property than the owner (by damaging or destroying it in this case) is morally indefensible.

> once rioters escalate against the officers themselves most people are unlikely to raise objections to targeted use of force.

That is untrue for at least the last decade or so. After the 2015 Baltimore riots, President Obama couldn't even popularly get away with referring to rioters as "thugs"[1] after ~300 businesses were damaged, 60 buildings set on fire, 113 police officers injured and 27 drugstores looted. Since then, there have been plentiful riots and mass demonstrations that either turned violent or otherwise sheltered violent activity, including the moment in 2020 that spawned the "mostly peaceful protests" meme of the reporter with a building burning down behind him because of the rose-tinted glasses public analysts used in their coverage. Mayors and governors gave lip service to violent demonstrations like CHAZ/CHOP [2] while violence was taking place, and only tepidly supported law enforcement's presence to curtail it after the fact.

_To this day_ those actions are routinely and popularly dismissed as racial outrage, justified, etc. largely along political boundaries, all to the detriment of the thousands of individuals whose livelihoods were damaged or destroyed as result. The idea that good consciences will win the day and protestors will distance themselves from n'er-do-wells among them is, as a standard, irreconcilable with the countless recorded hours of protest footage that exist.

Rights aren't trumped by implicit public vote to destroy your property, any more than two thieves can vote that they need their victim's wallet more than them, or a gang of rapists can hold a 5-1 vote for consent. QED, immediate and active threats against property should, morally and legally, warrant an appropriate amount of force to defend it.

Expansive means large, vast.

Not necessarily growing.
HTTP/3 is not a mobile centric technology. Yes there was a lot of discussion of packet pacing and it's implications for mobile in early presentations on QUIC but that's not the same as "centric", that's one application of the behavior. Improved congestion control, reduced control plane cost and removal of head of line blocking behaviors have significant value in data center networks as well. How often do you work with services where they have absolutely atrocious tail latencies and wide gaps between median and mean latencies? how often is that a side effect of http/tcp semantics?

IPv6 is the same deal, I sort of understand where the confusion comes from around QUIC because so much was discussed about mobile early on, and it just got parroted heavily in the rumor mill, but IPv6? that long predates the mobile explosion, and again, it helps as an application, but ascribing it as the only application because of it's applicability somewhere else doesn't hold up to basic scrutiny. The largest data centers these days are pushing up against a whole v4 IP class (I know, classes are dead, sorta) in hardware addressable compute units - a trend that is not slowing.

We did this with quic data center side: https://tailscale.com/blog/living-in-the-future#the-c10k-pro... and while it might be slightly crazy in and of itself, it's far more practical with multiplexing than with a million excessively sized buffers competing over pools and so on.

There is absolutely value to quic and ipv6 in the data center, perhaps it's not so useful for traditionally shaped and sized LAMP stacks, but you can absolutely make great use of these at scale and in modern architectures, and they open a lot of doors/relax constraints in the design space. This also doesn't mean everyone needs to reach for them, but I don't think they should be discarded or ascribed limited purpose so blithely.

Are you talking about the skepticism from Kalai or more general skepticism (from wider group people, which is more about its application to optimization problem, not prime factoring)?
I walked into my company hardware labs at the right time and was gifted a bambu labs a1 mini with 350 printing hours on it. I've since added another 300 hours over the last month and a half. It's a fantastic machine, and only costs $200-$240 (MSRP is 240 but I've seen it as low as 200 new).

Stick to some matte pla to begin with and with the a1/a1 mini it's as close as you can get to plug and play.

This isn't the whole story though. While Amazon might have 1.5m employees, many of those are going to be in the fulfilment and distribution process, which is a very different place to being in engineering/product/finance/business/marketing working in an office.

I think it would be more useful to split the company down that line, in which case Amazon probably have ~300k(?) on the office side, and this represents more like a 4-5% layoff, a level at which people will really notice it.
I've been considering to get in to the Blu-ray backups for a while. Is there a good guide on how to organize your files in order to split it in to multiple backup disks? And how to catalogue all your physical Discs to keep track of them?

I remember about 20 years ago my friend had a huge catalogue of 100s of disks with media(anime) and he used some kind of application to keep track of where each file is located across 100s of discs in his collection. I assume that software must have improved for that sort of a thing?

The MacBook air 11" in 2012 was my favorite laptop by far. Maxed out with an i7 and 8GB RAM it handled everything I needed to including multiple InteliJ projects. The resolution today seems obscenely low, but it was completely usable and the compactness was of great utility, practical for use while traveling.

I've bought tablets multiple times thinking it could replace it, it just isn't the same. It's a real shame that particular form factor has been lost, as we could probably easily have an m4 air in that size. I'd buy one in a heart beat now that Apple has remembered how to make good keyboards again.

Even though it was tiny,

And what would the problem be with that example? It seems everyone has agreed on a fair price and is trading on it. There isn't any incentive for the private traders to trade at a different price or one of them is getting ripped off due to the arbitrage potential. And they don't believe that publicising the trade would move the price or - again - one of them would have an incentive to do so because it'd move in their favour.

I don't see how I'd be disadvantaged as any actor in that scene.
I had a Lenovo S10 netbook too back in the day. I have fond memories of it, but I definitely don't 'miss that tiny size'. It was so tiny that they had to shrink the key size on the keyboard to make it fit, and the trackpad was also so tiny as to be barely usable.

Nowadays, I'd say 14" is the sweet spot. Compact enough to easily fit in a bag and be taken basically anywhere, without having to sacrifice much if anything in terms of functionality/capability.

With screen bezels reduced to almost nothing, a modern 14" is pretty comparable in size to a 12" model from yesteryear.

I had one, and I really liked it, but the 13" MBA just edged it out for me due to the added comfort and visibility. I've had various MBPs, but I continue to prefer a 13" MBA over a decade later. Any other laptop I try just feels inferior.

> That's physical, not abstract. Our entire body's neural net is used to develop those physical skills. When it comes time to catch or throw a ball, no abstract thinking is involved, just doing.

Abstraction is about generalising beyond the physical objects we experience. The ability to understand the physics behind how objects work is abstract, but it's a low enough level of abstraction that even simple animals are capable of it.

Overlap, certainly. Anything else is conjecture.
This is also my experience. If you are dealing with clients that can pay to have their content cached, and not hit the originating server, that's great. To me, that sounds like what Cloudflare offers. Unless you have the ability to push an entire website into a CDN, there are things like query (GET) parameters on a URL that will bypass the cache and hit the server. This means that only using file caching is not viable unless you are running a completely static website. Most websites allow the client to make changes to the content through some web based GUI, and you have things like pagination where the maximum page number may not be known ahead of time for your CDN.

I have dealt with DDoS attacks with and without a service like Cloudflare, and without something like Cloudflare, the costs are extremely high. These are not clients pulling in millions of dollars of sales, even per year. There are IP blocks, but sometimes those bots are running on networks shared with the client's customers. Most clients I deal with couldn't fathom dealing with a static website, even if I could give them a hidden backend that pushed all files to a CDN for caching. I have enough trouble explaining why a page isn't showing recent changes, even with a big button stating to press it if your page changes do not display (integration with the Cloudflare caching API).

Bots, human fraud, it's all a balancing act while trying to give your clients the easiest solution possible for them to run their business online. Without a massive hosting budget, it's not feasible to provide for an easily maintainable client solution, that is also easy on their clients, and prevents abuse from bots and those that would cause fraud or damage.
I've also had all good managers who helped me move up levels, etc. across 3 companies for about 5 years. I think you're right about the side effects, and it's sad to see. It reflects, in my mind, an acknowledgment from these companies that they won't grow as much in the future as people right now think they will
> Line of sight free space optics can be immune to many many forms of jamming.

I’m a bit of two minds about this. Obviously jamming resistant high bandwidth communication enables some scarry possibilities.

But the lack of it is what drives and will drive militaries around the world to put more and more autonomy into weapons. It doesn’t matter what kind of treaties we write on paper to prohibit technologies. During a war if your drones/loitering munition are less effective than those of your enemies because your control signals are jammed you will give in and make your weapons find their target without that control signal. That leads to an arm race of ever more sophisticated autonomous weapons. That is scarry for many reasons, and probably a worse outcome for all of us.

On the other hand if communication is possible that puts a leash on this dynamic and ensurers that a human mind can remain in the loop. So… maybe being better at jamming resistant communication is actually better for humankind?

In reality, something like this wouldn't take you 3 years. However, I can't fault you for not wanting to go into court pro se; it's not a good position to be in.

Interestingly, in some jurisdictions, provisions like these also carry attorney's fees to the prevailing tenant (i.e., asymmetric fee-shifting). So your landlord would be facing exposure to not only the underlying deposit and penalty and their own attorney's fees, but also possibly yours as well.

It seems weird but realizing one supports the other it kinda makes sense.

For example, Discover spun out from Sears attempts at having an in house credit card. Ally started as a financing division of GM. In both cases, you'd think similarly how it's weird one company runs both a bank and builds cars or sells houses.

It doesn't seem that different, in that Amazon started AWS to support its primary business, then realized they could sell it to others.

Not yet. As I said, I only bought it recently, and Asus have all sorts of settings in their rather good MyASUS app to mitigate this. Hopefully I won't see any problems for a couple of years at least.

I personally find that the limiting factor for a laptop on airplane is how much I have to angle the screen to be able to see it, which is how far forward the laptop has to be for the screen to go that far back.

This is fantastic. I've always used JavE before but this being a single HTML file is a big+ and packs quite a punch. Kudos to the author!

One question though, how do edit the content later? For example I generated a few diagrams one at a time and pasted those in a local plain text file. Later when I want to edit a particular diagram/part, I tried copy pasted it in, but always got "cannot paste, content leaves canvas" error. If I tried copy-pasting a really small section (e.g. 3x3 table), it pasted it right in the center. Anyway, not sure if that's an intended work flow or not. Great job regardless.
