Line 6 is the bottom of the barrel in the market. The Fractal stuff holds value well, and the kemper has barely dropped in value on the used market at all. Maybe my ears are a bit less golden or whatever, but I barely break out any of my ol

If we assume that tiktok is a mass surveillance tool (which at least didn't use to controversial on this site) what alternatives really are there? Using a VPN isn't criminalized, using a VPN to bypass the provisions in the law is.

Were you actually stuck shipping at only the local "Mom and Pop" shops at any point? There's a reason Walmart/Amazon crushed them all. I shop to get cool stuff. Not to convey meaning.

The problems he elucidates in the Tractatus cuts an entire category deeper than just "language problems - we have not defined our terms clearly", but rather that the very project itself of finding the ultimate sound and complete f

Graduate courses in philosophy at a top-tier department was where I learned it, lol. If you're interested, I can't recommend Cora Diamond's and James Conant's works on Wittgenstein enough (and "the resolute reading&

The tractatus isn't like the blue and brown notebooks, where we just grabbed random notes of his after he died and published them for future generations to study. It's an intentional published work. He means everything he says in

It's very much intended to be a tearing down of such projects "from the inside". Back in the day, philosophers _actually_ _believed_ they could write down a series of proposition that fully and completely described reality. T

I studied Wittgenstein and the philosophy of AI/Computation for years. I don't see how any of those conclusions in your last paragraph follow from his work. (If anything, Godels incompleteness can be found as a trival result of Wi

The eye can't see inside of itself. The metaphor breaks down though, because the inside of an eye are in principle _seeable_ (mirrors and microscopes etc), while the "nature of language" or whatever, is in principle _unspeaka

Exactly this, but even more so. Wittgenstein believed the purpose of philosophy is to "prevent the bewitchment of our senses by means of language". Throwing the ladder away is important, else the reader might mistakenly interpret

Even early Wittgenstein was never a positivist. One of the reasons he quit philosophy for so long was his frustration at that interpretation of works (see some of the interactions between him and Russell for example). What you are describin

Have you tried to get inline-timestamping going on those fancy modern NICs that support PPT? Orders of magnitude cheaper than new ingress ports on that appliance whose name starts with a "C", also _really_ cool to have more perspe

Do the vendors actually convince anyone to buy those hubs rebranded as "ultra high performance 5ns L1 switches"?

Basically yes, but the links themselves are controlled by the exchanges (and tied in to your general contact for market access). In general UDP is not a problem in the space because of overprovisioning. Think "algorithms are for people
