Probably nowadays Instagram is the medium that shows more "ads", considering the number of users that publish "promoted" content. It reminds me those fashion magazines that show like 130 pages of ads in 150 pages.

It's kinda sad to see people promoting stuff in exchange for some free samples, just so they can call themselves "influencers". I'm wondering if people are not getting tired of all of this fakeness.

Some ad networks are already providing what is effectively IaaS.
I remember reading somewhere an idea to make the polygraph produce more objective results:

Instead of asking for example "Did you rob the bank?" and interpret the response as "lying" or "not lying" they can be asked "Was the getaway car white?" "Was the getaway car red?" "Was the getaway car blue?". By asking several of these you can statistically prove the suspect is guilty if they responded differently to several detail questions about information only they knew. Tthis doesn't help prove innocence (because people can beat the machine) but it reduces false positives and can therefor prove guilt (because it's unlikely a nervous person would randomly be more nervous when the true details are being asked vs. the decoys).

Of course to be done right the operator must be "blind" (not know the answers and subconsciously tip the suspect off) and other statistical safe-guards need to be in place, so how useful in the real-world this is I don't know.
To put a futurist spin on it: advertising is the commercialization around the information bottleneck in the information age.
34 gigabits/sec/core isn't astounding by any means but unless you went looking for more cores as a performance solution to your already io-bound workload it should be plenty.
There is no firm difference between “advertising” and “the media” and there never has been. Only varying levels of forthcomingness regarding intent. Burger King is trying to sell you hamburgers - no confusion there. A newspaper? Less clear of what they’re trying to sell you, but don’t doubt it for a second - they’re selling you something.

The NY Times in particular has tried to portray themselves as independent and unbiased, when they’ve been anything but for essentially their entire history.
I was working with a guy who came from let say “disruptive car company”. He really laid out and explained that almost all “news” you see in the NYT, WaPo, etc about big companies was designed to first and foremost effect a stock price. When you see “charismatic company leader does X” it was a directed move to effect some stock. That at his company he was in the marketing, PR, and finance co-op that did exactly this.

Laid out just how much everything is manipulated. So yes, I believe that if you are reading an NYT about this and the target happens to be advertisers on NYT, that’s not an accident, nor is it speaking highly of NYT’s journalism standards.

Look at the history of e.g. International Computers Limited (ICL) to see what nationalised computing industry was like. Slow pace of development, product development interference by government, and high prices. It's personal computing and capitalism that have made computing so available and affordable, and pushed miniaturisation to its limits. For example, just look at AMD's threadripper CPUs, or any modern GPU. A ridiculous amount of compute capability at a very affordable price, and pretty low running cost. I laugh to think about a nationalised industry having the drive and business sense to invest in such advancements, and then capitalise upon them to make a decent profit. They are run by bureaucrats and beancounters, and avoid rocking the boat at all costs. A bit like the present-day Intel maybe, which got into a safe zone where they could keep pushing out more of the same without really putting in much effort. You wouldn't want revolutionary products to cannibalise your existing business, after all.

It's very hard to unpick this.

The internet services themselves are almost completely nonsense that we could do without. It's difficult for me to think of a single ad-based website or application that serves a purpose outside of its' own self propagation.

I don't think this kind of resource is going to decrease attendance at art museums. People who want to go are still going to go, but while I live near Washington D.C., and have been to the National Gallery of Art many times, there are hundreds or thousands of museums and art galleries in cities I will most likely never travel to.

I think it's reasonable to consider these digital resources as a supplement to, rather than a replacement of, visiting the gallery in person.

Hello, Community Advocate from GitLab here.

I would love to share this little piece of information about GitLab installation with everyone.

Since there was a little confusion mentioning GitLab installation, I would love to clarify that our installation page [1] offers many different approaches. Before the installation process, please make sure that you read our Installation doc [2].

The Omnibus package may be the best choice installation since it is quicker to install, easier to upgrade, and it contains features to enhance reliability not found in other methods [2].

[2] https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/install/

[3] Other official installation methods are via Docker, Kubernetes, Google Cloud Platform etc.

The default setting is to only allow booting from your current macOS installation or from another macOS installation that is signed by apple and currently trusted (requires an internet connection to verify).

That can be turned down to either accept any OS that was ever signed by Apple, or to boot whatever you want it to.

The third option should let you attempt to boot Linux, but like you said, whether the driver support exists is another matter entirely.

> The names of the promises are obvious and their intention is clear. There are subsets of POSIX.

That's true, but not really the whole truth. Take "dns", for instance. It enables a number of system calls needed to perform DNS resolution. But as far as I understand, those system calls (sendto(2) for example) can then be used arbitrarily. So "dns" actually permits more than the name implies.

On the other hand, when a program is running in capability mode, we know exactly what is permitted and what isn't.

The pressure difference is much worse underwater but in contrast to space it doesn’t take much energy at all to get there and back, the speed difference with your start/end point is very small, and it doesn’t matter very much how massive the vehicle is. Swings and roundabouts.
I’m not suggesting that the model would infer the truth from the input. Just that it would render a reasonably reliable estimate that the subject is dissembling. I don’t think the actual words used would be the principle component of such a determination.

> Studies on memory show that human beings, as a whole, are terrible at remembering things.

I always remember testifying in court about an assault that took place some months earlier. By the time I was actually there, I couldn't remember the event at all. I simply remembered describing the event previously (a bunch of times).

Did I see what I said I did? I believe so. Was the testimony in court worth anything at all when compared to the Police interview 2 hours after the fact? God no.

At that point my truth was that I was confident that I didn't lie in previous testimony. That's it. As you say - what value is there in something which tests that?
> It definitely would not be "essentially a 48-core" at all since it'd complicate memory access patterns significantly

My belief is that it behaves similarly to a 4-way 12-core machine using less real estate for the CPU. Even though memory will occupy the same amount of space, I suspect we may see it on high-end workstation-class machines by the likes of Supermicro and Gigabyte.

Part of the reason "fake news" is so readily consumed is that the press does stuff like this.
Right now we're experiencing an issue where a small percentage of end users on our GKE site are getting super slow speeds. The issue is ISP related as they can switch to a 4G hot spot in the same location and get normal speeds... and inside our system the timing looks normal. So there's a slowdown either TO the load balancer or FROM the load balancer. Took a week to convince Google's support contractor to even believe it wasn't an issue with our site and their advice is generally along the lines of Turn it off and Turn it back on again (which might actually fix the problem) though that's easier said than done in GCP.
Humans are strongly wired to evaluate differences between humans, and advertisers are skilled at creating the signals that humans use to evaluate.

But they don't have to work too hard. "Influencers" can be created virtually out of thin air. Simply say "this is an influencer", and in the absence of contrary signals many people will treat them as such.

(We've all heard of a NOT famous person hiring friends to pretend to be paparazzi when they go out somewhere, fooling people who see them, being introduced to someone "famous" that we've never heard of, etc., etc.)
I've been poking around for a good blog platform (my website currently is generated statically with Hugo).

I know that goes beyond the slick simplicity you've got here, but for the work I do, I want to be able to speak in more than one way.

Is there an opportunity for contributing these features?

Think of the brain as a pool of subconscious thoughts where only one can rise to the surface of consciousness. To do so, it must be more exciting than the other thoughts also competing for your awareness. The decision of what is exciting depends on your past reaction to such thoughts.

If you're excited (even if not in a good way) at the thought of harming your children, it will cause more such images to get through the filter more. Because your brain thinks it's an important thought and needs conscious attention. The solution (and I'm not saying this is easy) is to discard these ideas as not worthy of your consideration. Tell yourself that they are not related to your life because you won't do what they say you could do.

I think to understand such phenomena we have to ask another "why?" Why is it a profitable path for people who have no hands-on-expertise to be trite advice gurus spouting untestable platitudes at conferences and through blog posts?
