It seems like the article is trying to suggest there is some drama here when the change is completely anodyne. > barring any objections from prominent Linux kernel developers or Linus Torvalds himself. Just like any other patch, is there

Isn't 12k steps like 6 miles? I could plausibly jog that much, but to walk it every day seems like a huge time commitment.

SAT is NP-complete, and both gaussian elimination and 2SAT are polynomial-time, so this would suggest either you're mistaken or there is some hidden catch here (like the size of one or the other being exponential-sized).

You can get blood tests pretty cheaply. The safe level is the level that, after you take it consistently, has you in the desired range on the test.

Links are "DOI NOT FOUND". Article does not seem to suggest that the study actual found any relationship between the increase in the two things, just that they both happened around the same time.

I was with you up until the last statement which does not seem plausible at all. Curiosity about computers is not something you are born with.

People are trying to lock down Linux yes, but the specific software used for enforcement, systemd or otherwise, is mostly irrelevant.

There is a deeper point here, not just pedantry. The point is that harm is a spectrum not a binary and one cannot meaningfully answer a question that assumes a binary.

I agree that that's a bad definition, that's my point. The question is how _you_ are defining it since your definition seems to have this problem; if you're going to complain about others' use of the term you should indi

How do you define it? If your ISP has a problem, you can't access that hardware physically, so it would seem this definition rules out anyone that doesn't control an ISP.

I don't think that's true, an intellectually curious comment about site moderation would be fine (this one for instance). Usually what I see penalized are broad insults like "everyone on this site is so fucking dumb, why do I

The author seems to not have conceived of the possibility that the guy's goal was something other than subscriber count. Did he consider his own results "dismal"?

It seems odd to look at failure rate in isolation, without considering cost and density; at scale, improved cost and density can be converted to lower failure rates via more aggressive RAID redundancy, no?

Pretty clueless. When hardware with a new paradigm is invented that provides value, new software has been created for it. GPUs are a great example, TPUs/systolic arrays and the Cerebras device are others; all of these are pretty succes

I think you would also need to ban threading and reentrancy (from signals)? Also, if you had function pointers, you would have to pessimize to storing each such function's stack memory separately I think (since the compiler wouldn&#x27

The email was a "personal message to close friends", I think it's a reasonable request for him to ask them not to share the information.

> if you model memory access as O(N^1/3), linear search worse case is not O(N), it is O(N^4/3) This would be true if we modeled memory access as Theta(N^{1/3}) but that's not the claim. One can imagine the data organi

I'm arguing against the use of Big-O "in the limit" as GP puts it; our tech is far away from that limit and O(N^{1/3}) is a better model.

If one wants to start talking cosmology, it's unlikely to the case that arbitrarily long-lived computers are possible, I don't think any of the theories in [0] are conducive to either an infinite-time or infinite-memory computer,

Presumably, GP only worked on the problems in English and someone else would translate it appropriately.

You're talking about a base rate fallacy, which is a different thing than correlation/causation errors. (Both are potentially problems given the high-level description of the study, the full text of which is behind a paywall)
