It also contradicts the author's earlier argument:

> I need to know there was intention behind it. [...] That someone needed to articulate the chaos in their head, and wrestle it into shape.

If forced to choose, I'd use coherence as evidence of care than use it as a refutation of humanity.

Great catch. I was getting ready to mention the theoretical risk of asking an LLM be your arbiter of truth; it didn't even occur to me to check the chosen example for correctness. In a way, this blog post is a useful illustration not just of the hazards of LLMs, but also of our collective tendency to eschew verity for novelty.

That part was straightforward thanks to the "d3-force" plugin for D3.js:

I probably ought to spend a little more time tuning the parameters, though.

Comparisons to OpenGPG are likely to make anyone cringe, but if you're willing to suspend disbelief about the usability issues, it seems like such an apt metaphor. Where signing a key is vouching for the owner's humanity, not their identity. I can imagine websites integrating my browser to attach a "humanity key" to the content I post, and my browser maintaining my collection of keys and my preferences for divulging them.

Granted, pseudonymity is not the same as anonymity. Maybe if the meaning (and lifespan?) behind these keys was constrained, then they could be sufficiently disposable to approximate anonymity.

This system is either fundamentally flawed or already implemented, but I don't know how determine which. Can anyone here share writing along these lines?

New comment by jugglinmike in "News is bad for you – and giving up reading it will make you happier"

jugglinmike — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:40:10 +0000

The real irony comes from the author's claims:

> Unlike reading books and long magazine articles (which > require thinking), we can swallow limitless quantities > of news flashes, which are bright-coloured candies for > the mind.

...and the manner of publication:

> This is an edited extract from an essay first published > at dobelli.com. The Art of Thinking Clearly: Better > Thinking, Better Decisions by Rolf Dobelli is published > by Sceptre, £9.99. Buy it for £7.99 at > guardianbookshop.co.uk

But there's a good case to be made for knowing your audience. In that sense, this version is actually much more likely to reach those who might be influenced by it.

Based on the full quote (below), it seems that he was referring to Valve's offering only:

"Well certainly our hardware will be a very controlled environment," he said. "If you want more flexibility, you can always buy a more general purpose PC. [...]"

Yeah, that's a good point. This introduces a new inventory consideration, namely CPU model demands (they'll have to determine the best distribution of proc models across each product). Probably not too big a deal

New comment by jugglinmike in "Intel 'preparing' to put an end to user-replaceable CPUs"

jugglinmike — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 20:46:58 +0000

Two points that I haven't seen covered yet:

1. Waste. If some component on your motherboard goes, you're on the hook for a new CPU (and vice versa). This seems tremendously wasteful. Maybe bigger repair shops will support mail-in refurbishing? Will people take advantage of that? Or just buy new for convenience?

2. Competition. Smaller motherboard vendors won't be able to sell direct anymore. I'm wondering if anyone can comment on how bad of a thing this is.

New comment by jugglinmike in "A Node.js speed dilemma: AJAX or Socket.IO?"

jugglinmike — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 14:07:58 +0000

The OP doesn't mention expected client count, but the number of concurrent connections is a crucial factor that these tests overlook.

I'm currently doing some Socket.io stress testing, and it's clear that XHR-polling is significantly harder on the CPU for the reasons you've mentioned. This detail is lost in the noise for single-client tests, but it will become increasingly relevant as more clients connect.
