Unfortunately you are doing the very thing that you accuse Musk of doing. L5 autonomy is not formalized (nor do I think it is able to be formalized) to the extent that would permit a rigorous proof showing it is isomorphic to the halting pr

For me, it's more what's philosophically right about an innocent person enduring suffering or punishment through no fault of their own. To me, that appears to be a great (maybe even the greatest) injustice.

I suppose that's a practical argument for it. Philosophically it still doesn't seem right, though.

Some of us, governments included, believe that the presumption of innocence is a fundamental right. "That it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer, is a Maxim that has been long and gene

I actually support masks in schools. There's solid scientific evidence backing it as a mechanism to help limit the spread of COVID. Until all ages are able to be vaccinated, it seems like a prudent course of action. It's unfortuna

It's a sophist play on emotions. I don't think there's actual malice behind it, though. More that people struggle to assert themselves and provide direct, well-reasoned arguments. So, exaggerating or throwing meaning away alt

That's called a false dichotomy.

What's the alternative? Wallow in ignorance some more? I prefer to know what's actually going on.

What's your point? That increases the risk through increased exposure.

I've already experienced advertisements on gasoline pumps. I would concede that it is not exactly the same thing - gas pumps are worse, because you're already paying for a product. However, it is certainly just as annoying and inv

There isn't one, because it's wrong. Source: run strace on almost any useful Linux command (e.g. ls, sort, which, ...), you'll see it makes calls to both brk() and mmap().

I'm not sure I really agree with the analogy, but there are other approaches that don't involve assaulting my senses. For instance, they could just flat out charge money for it. On a tangentially related note, I think there's

There are lots of variations on the UNIX philosophy [1], but two core points are to: 1. Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new "features". 2. Expect the
