Another way to mitigate the force of inductive skepticism is to restrict its scope. Karl Popper, for instance, regarded the problem of induction as insurmountable, but he argued that science is not in fact based on inductive inferences at all (Popper 1935 [1959]). Rather he presented a deductivist view of science, according to which it proceeds by making bold conjectures, and then attempting to falsify those conjectures. In the simplest version of this account, when a hypothesis makes a prediction which is found to be false in an experiment, the hypothesis is rejected as falsified. The logic of this procedure is fully deductive. The hypothesis entails the prediction, and the falsity of the prediction refutes the hypothesis by modus tollens. Thus, Popper claimed that science was not based on the extrapolative inferences considered by Hume. The consequence then is that it is not so important, at least for science, if those inferences would lack a rational foundation.

I just knew my philosophy degree would come in handy one day.

I can’t even get mdns to work with systemd-resolved and a local VM.
Best of luck though, definitely something I’ll be watching!
- Comment on The plural of Kleenex should be Kleenices. 1 week ago:
As a crazy person that took 5 semesters of Latin, absolutely, but it’s a battle in which I’ve admitted defeat, much like “as per.”
If English made any sense, “matrices” would be the normal plural and pronounced with the italianized soft c. But then “indexes” is over there being irksome.
I think the correct plural here is simpler: a zero plural, i.e Kleenex. Probably because we just elide the entire word “tissues.”

Yeah, gotta jump to the 13 (waiting for mine with a ryzen 7 350 now).
FWIW, they had very specific goals with the 12 and outlined the reasoning in a video.

- Comment on If restaurants just microwave their food can I just get the frozen version and cut out the middle man? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I get that.
It seemed like you presented it as a given that just because it’s at a restaurant, it’s higher quality.
I was trying offer the counterexample and suggest that the grocery store frozen food is also intentionally different making “quality” difficult to compare.
- Comment on If restaurants just microwave their food can I just get the frozen version and cut out the middle man? 3 weeks ago:
Higher quality seems like a stretch based on the last times someone dragged me to a crappy national chain.
Higher salt and fat content definitely, because that shit tastes good. At the grocery store, you’re far more likely to shop for things that seem healthy, and the restaurant meals would have insane nutrition labels (especially if they were honest about restaurant serving sizes).

Auto lid, auto flush checking in.
Yes, I’m spoiled.
- Comment on Clean butt 3 weeks ago:
I started with a $30 cheapo 10 years ago and it was life changing. Last year I got a stupid expensive one. Like, has a night light, auto flush (because I got the matching toilet), auto lid, heated seat, heated water, deodorizer, wireless remote, etc. (Toto S7A)
Just so you’re prepared, the air dry doesn’t fully replace the pat dry entirely unless you’re gonna sit there for a good long time.
That said, I have no regrets.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 4 weeks ago:
Scrubbing a little demo project I made featuring a web app behind oauth2-proxy leveraging keycloak as local idp with social login. It also uses a devcontainer config for development. The demo app uses the Litestar framework (fka starlite, in Python) because I was interested, but it’s hardly the focus. Still gotta put caddy in front of it all for easy SSL. Oh, and clean up all the default secrets I’ve strewn about with appropriate secret management.
All of it is via rootless podman and declarative configuration.
Think I might have to create my own Litestar RBAC plugin that leverages the oauth headers provided by the proxy.
It has been a minute since I worked daily in this space, so it has been good to dust off the cobwebs.
- Comment on Interesting SSH Authentication Mechanism 4 weeks ago:
Definitely looks like a nice improvement. Functions very like cloud provider CLI SSO, but with a generic tool.
I think for an enterprise use case, supporting the use of the groups claim (or other configurable scopes) is table stakes. Although in those situations, I’ve also had to use other tools like teleport that come with other enterprise niceties like full session audit capture and playback.
And while everyone should do their own threat and risk modeling, you’ve now made your ssh connection dependent on an external service that likely needs to reach out over the internet.
- Comment on Multiple Tesla vehicles were set on fire in Las Vegas and Kansas City 5 weeks ago:
As a reminder, Tesla is “direct to consumer” and the “dealership” is corporate owned!
So when the party of conspiracy theorists claims conspiracy against them, you can rest assured it’s a conspiracy by them.
But that’s what they’d say if the the tables were turned, so fuck 'em and their shit. I hope the insurance adjuster finds a way out and leaves them holding the bag.

To a significant extent, they do, contracting for construction of generation and transmission (very often renewable), at least at the largest scale.
But, it’s (mostly) all on the grid.
With demand like that, it’s not like there isn’t significant negotiation with the local power company, especially because they’re frequently built a significant distance from existing large power infrastructure.
Heck, all the big 3 cloud providers signed deals for nuclear generation in the last few months. spectrum.ieee.org/nuclear-powered-data-center

3 classes of cars fighting for places through traffic for 24hrs. It’s absolutely wild, and the commentators are definitely fighting fatigue with sometimes extremely random sidetracks too.
