That’s an amazing point, actually

What information could possibly be relevant to national security?

It’s just names.

Any reaction means it’s a member of the administration, because they aren’t going to protect anyone else.

Every reddit user should consider r/redditseppuku

Quintessential does not mean “really essential”, and does not make sense in this context.

You can’t really be quintessential “for” something; only quintessential of something.

Martin Luther King marched on the capital.

But if you think I’m using a definition that makes Martin Luther King a fascist then I’m going to conclude you’re not discussing the issue in good faith.

Yes. We all saw it on national television.

Then he pardoned the offenders.

GTFO with your stupid pretend skepticism and gas lighting.

It’s about cheap Chinese AI

That IS amazing!

Fair point. But no adult who is paying attention needed the salute to understand the contempt that Musk has for the rule of law.

He marshalled an attack on the capital. No non-fascist does that.

No indeed.

But supporting an administration (in any medium) whose inauguration included a Nazi salute does, in fact, make you a fascist.

And no: it doesn’t matter if you previously did something good.

It’s really not that complicated,

This guy is a fascist, and nobody should be using proton.

Well this policy seems like a good way for them to nip that in the bud. Customer contempt is toxic to brand loyalty.

You start to feel badly for legacy tech manufacturers like Canon.

Then they do things like this, and suddenly I am happy to see them die.

You can’t treat your customers with contempt and not expect them to return the sentiment.

Have you looked at sandstorm? Or used it?

It’s one of my favorite stacks, and I’m curious to hear your thoughts.

Your initial claim was that they couldn’t be measured that way. You’re right that they aren’t stored as bits, but it’s irrelevant to whether you can measure them using bits as the unit of information size.

Think of it like this: in the 1980s there were breathless articles about CD ROM technology, and how, in the future, “the entire encyclopedia Britannica could be stored on one disc”. How was that possible to know? Encyclopedias were not digitally stored! You can’t measure them in bits!

It’s possible because you could define a hypothetical analog to digital encoder, and then quantify how many bits coming off that encoder would be needed to store the entire corpus.

This is the same thing. You can ADC anything, and the spec on your ADC defines the bitrate you need to store the stream coming off… in bits (per second)

All information can be stored in a digital form, and all information can be measured in base 2 units (of bits).

Amazing! This is great work!
