This is amazingly coherent and explanatory article! the writer really went into depth about the problem and...surprise...the answer is almost embarrassingly simple. Everyone in the country needs to read this.

yes some of the provocative imagery is non-productive in public spheres outside private circles. As a remedy, I recommend everyone on the left read George Lakoff's book "Don't Think of an Elephant." It's a guide fo

What's needed are democratically-agreed upon guidelines. Yes if you suck at science, you can't get paid. But if the subjects you study are politically inconvenient to the presently-in-charge admin, you should still be allowed to r

I am generally agreeing with you. IIUC, your point is we can't survive like this, so why are we even pretending to go to Mars? and i'm saying: let's not wreck ourselves trying to get to Mars/beyond the solar system in t

Yes, it's important to leave the solar system...but we have 4 billion years to think about it. We can do a little bit each year. We don't have to tap into all of our social services, cops on the street, clean water, and create

I really like this...I've been trying to come up with a similar system, not necessarily for just gh, but for comms in general. And with groups so e.g. someone from my group can trust someone in the group of a someone I trust. And fr

yes and also no ;) Think of stirling engines as driven by "heat differentials" as opposed to "heat." At first when you fire up the GPU, it's hotter than everythign else and can start driving a stirling...but event

When someone can’t manage first-order thermodynamics or basic human boundaries, it’s reasonable to downgrade their credibility across domains. re: thermodynamics....you can not feasibly dissipate GPU/LLM/Data center-level heat in

> If folks want more Rust projects under licenses they prefer, they should start those projects. 100% true, but also hides a powerful fact: Our choices aren't limited to doing it ourselves. Listening to others and discussing how t

True, but you might want to look into the licenses people are actually choosing for Rust versions of coreutils/uutils and who's promoting them.

The 2nd amendment is different from the Castle doctrine. You can have the 1st one without the 2nd one. A militia to deter occupiers is different from protecting one's own house. And cases like this go beyond the Castle doctrine. T

Yeah it pays to have a huge library of routines...e.g. multiplication for every size combo of number sizes, signedness. Also sorts...everything, but if you scour youll find many :)

The invention of the corporation is virtually to eliminate responsibility/culpability from any individual. Human car crash? Human punishment. Corporate-owned car crash? A fine which reduces salaries some negligible percent.
