It sometimes feels that more and more economic activity (in the USK is totally pointless, or zero sum like advertising. Suppose this is true, heterodox as it may be. Certainly as a programmer consultant it seems that so much technology work is pointless searching for a profit and problem, never meeting a pre-existing demand.

In such a low stakes weird economy, it's really hard to compete because nobody needs anything. For your corporate desk worker, keeping the existing deal is inertia while changing it is work and career risk. So rather than effort ~ dMoney, effort ~ d^2Money. That's alread explanes so much even before saying deals are corrupt steak dinner affairs or whatever.

The right is correct in saying that the things people really need, housing food and healthcare, are super regulated. But the left right in that land use and especially ealthcare are totally unsuited for a free market anyways. (Though LVT is more powerful and magical than any healthcare rule.)
Uber and the entire gig economy is a blight on society, where a poorly skilled labor force are exploited for gain by a wealthy few with little hope of improvement.
It would improve security, but ultimately as long as the file "enclave" can execute javascript, it has access to enough side channels to communicate any data it collects to the outside, so I guess the security concerns wouldn't be fully resolved.
Exactly. There are suddenly dozens of articles everywhere about how images are automatically tagged with alt text over at Instagram, etc. If there is anything other than the current apparent need to use the phrase 'AI does this' I truly don't get it.
For what it's worth, the Superfish and LSE BIOS scandals didn't apply to ThinkPads. I think Lenovo understands that they have too many serious business and gov clients using ThinkPads to risk doing something silly like that to their professional-grade ThinkPad brand.

Zach's games are great, I'd heartily recommend TIS-100, Shenzhen I/O, and Exapunks to anyone. Despite his ratings on the site, I actually found Infinifactory the most difficult of the bunch for me, but maybe that just means I'm not as good at spatially oriented puzzles.
I think it's wrong to tell someone what they can do with land they own. If you want to decide what's done on land, buy it. This would also work as a solution to NIMBYism.

You seem to be interpreting the parent as using scare-quotes to disagree with the idea that Linus's behavior was "abusive."

But the parent comment was, as far as I can tell, intending to use regular quotation marks, in the way a journalist does (and as I just did)—to mention what someone else said, without endorsing or denying that opinion as their own, in order to avoid an argument.

(Personally, I think more things people describe should be put in quotation marks. A lot of Internet arguments are started by people trying to argue others out of beliefs they don't actually personally have.)

Right. I miss when people did their own thing. Nowadays I'm directed to a handful of websites for content.
A for-profit grade school? Interesting. I'm not sure I've ever encountered one of those.

But yeah, an entity's ability to draw a net positive profit doesn't change their for-profit status, obviously. As for why Zachtronics is limiting this to non-profit schools, my guess would be for tax purposes. There's a good chance there's a benefit from providing something like this for non-profit institutions, but not for for-profit ones, although it's been 7 years since law school for me and my tax law is rusty.

Although there's always the chance that he just didn't know for-profit grade schools exist, because I sure as heck didn't.
That doesn't really prove much. The classification is the heavy part that needs acceleration. The algorithmic side would probably not need an accelerator, as it's basically a decision tree.

My original point was that the decision tree should hopefully degrade gracefully as the prediction quality goes down, and not have any brand that leads to an insane behavior.

Now obviously, the better your predictions, the better the driving will be, which is why you'd want NN accelerators.
The idea is that "wealth-weighted" is weighted by what people want, because people get wealthy by doing what lots of people want (and are willing to pay lots for).
That tendency goes way back. To the point of coopting anticorporate texts as corporate propaganda, such as Wealth of Nations.
Don't know why you're downvoted. Probably because quite a few people here work for Google. I hate this downvote/upvote system so damn much.
This one appears to be a repackaging of Mozilla's CPython/numpy wasm build (your [2] link).
Not OP, but over 24 years some major db upgrades may as well be an entirely new db. In addition database vendors go out of business and when their assets are bought, the buyer is often buying customer base and not so much the obligation to keep developing a separate product forever. E.g. IBM and Oracle have each bought lots of their prior competition, and sometimes they only offer customers an upgrade path to a different product. Each time something like that happens you are going to re write your db support anyway.

From the fist link:

> Possible scenarios [for human extinction]

> Population decline through a preference for fewer children. If developing world demographics are assumed to become developed world demographics, and if the latter are extrapolated, data suggest an extinction before 3000 AD. John A. Leslie estimates that if the reproduction rate drops to the German level or Japanese level the extinction date will be 2400. However, evolutionary biology suggests the demographic transition may reverse itself.

The second link is about a huge problem, but it's not clear that it will hit us (I can't find anything specific about human extinction in the link.) It's more dangerous for overspecialized apex predator like whales that only can eat krill. Even if we drop animal farming, we can choose from a dozen of common cereal the one that is better for the new climate. Perhaps bananas that like hot weather and are used as staple food in many countries.

The third link is very similar. I can't find anything specific about human extinction in the link. Also remember that in a book the author can cherrypick the parts to get a better story and sell more books. Try to look in the IPCC report to have a scientific source.
My understanding is that the wasm runtime is substantially independent from the browser, like NodeJS but maybe moreso?

> Google also allows you to request a read receipt the responsible, official way that you're thinking of, but why would I ever use that feature when I can just give you a tracking pixel instead? The responsible read receipts require consent, and tracking pixels don't.

Read receipts (as opposed to email tracking through images, let's not overload terms here) have the benefit that they might be returned by clients that don't load images by default. That's probably a relatively small portion of clients, but it is only one setting change away on Gmail.

> Again, I haven't checked Gmail's default settings in... probably years. So maybe this has changed, and it doesn't load images by default anymore. But any client that loads images by default has non-consensual read receipts, and they should be shamed for that.

A client that loads images by default does what 99% of people desire. That Gmail does so in a safer way than many others is a good thing, and maybe shame is a strong word for transparently making people's default behavior slightly safer while doing what they want (showing emails as they were visually intended and looking nice).
> The heroism shown at the battles of Lexington and Concord are forgotten, whereas a bunch of men signing a document is raised to the level of something epic.

The signers were heroes, too, because signing the DoI was a hanging offense. If the Revolution had failed, they would have all hung and they knew it. They were all prominent men, and their families would have been likely ruined as well.

Not even the government has to provide you with a soap box -- so being functionally indistinguishable from the government makes no difference.

If you cannot find a platform, can't buy one, can't build one because nobody will work with you then tough shit.

We talk about how developers shouldn't work on projects that are morally questionable but here you are suggesting that they must because a platform must be provided. That sounds so much worse to me. How would that even work?

Also if you unpack “prefers”, there’s nothing there which is not based on current biochemistry, genetic make up, instinctive responses, conditioning, trauma and experiences until a fraction of a second ago, and environment.

Sorry, but I'd just like to point out that top answer (about async I/O in Win95) is wrong and sounds like someone repeating something he (mis)heard once.

I actually wrote apps in the Win95 days, and I can say that async (i.e. overlapped) I/O, which seems to be what he's talking about in the rest of the answer about IO completions, basically does not exist at all on the Win9x series; it was an NT-exclusive feature. There were some bits and pieces that seemed to work somewhat from what I remember, but to quote my trusty old WIN32.HLP regarding the ReadFile function:

"Windows 95

For asynchronous read operations, hFile can be a communications resource, mailslot, or named pipe handle opened with the FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED flag by CreateFile, or a socket handle returned by the socket or accept functions. Windows 95 does not support asynchronous read operations on disk files."

...so his example about file copying and installers is invalidated. The correct answer(s) are of course lower down on the page and in the comments, where everyone talking about "pumping the message loop" gets it right.

The second anecdote about scrolling behaviour also hits vaguely beside the point; it has nothing to do with multitasking, is only tangentially related to "pumping the message loop", and can be explained very simply: moving the mouse causes a WM_MOUSEMOVE message to be sent to the window, containing the new coordinates of the cursor. The edit control that Notepad is composed of handles this message when in selection mode by checking if the position is outside of the control, and scrolls appropriately by a single amount if so. If you continue moving the mouse outside the control with a selection highlighted, the generation of WM_MOUSEMOVE continues, and thus the scrolling too. Stop moving the mouse, and the scrolling stops. There is nothing else to it. Other controls/windows (e.g. browsers) may handle this select-scroll behaviour differently; some will start a timer that continues to issue scroll messages as long as you hold down the button, and some even fancier ones will vary the rate of the timer depending on how far from the control's edge the current position is (so you can adjust the auto-scrolling speed easily.)

Only the third answer is when we start getting closer to an accurate explanation, the fourth answer about WM_TIMER is quite off-the-mark, and then the rest of them vary in accuracy between "close, but not quite" and "no, just no."

(Incidentally, this is also one of the reasons I don't use SE/SO.)

I second this and will add that often, our value in these discussions come from our dissenting opinions as result of our experience. Rather than shying from, we should be embracing and encouraging our diversity of opinions as a community. Or as a wise sage once said to me... “fuck your eggshells” which for me has been a very handy approach... balanced with compassion and patience of course.
He is technically correct, idealistic, and uncompromising. Unfortunately that doesn't really work in the real world unless your name is Richard Stallman. It's not pragmatic.

Cracking and reverse-engineering DRM is already illegal with the accepted US laws, so it's not far fetched for YouTube to be forced to remove those videos as well.
Relax. When machines are sentient enough to replace all human labor, they probably won't be willing to work for free (and trying to force them is how you get a robot slave rebellion).
Do you know any production Bayesian inference that really needs specialized chips?

The problem with NN inference / training is that they are eating up the datacenters.

At the same time you can't achieve 20x speedup compared to GPUs if you need 32 bit floats, because in that case your relative energy utilization is not that bad.
I believe this is a dupe, much wider discussion in this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20346865
It's kind of accurate but incomplete. What you're missing is that Amazon does "commingling" in which all sellers of item X (including Amazon itself) submit inventory to Amazon and all of that inventory of supposedly identical items is put together into one big pool. If someone manages to submit counterfeit items, they have successfully contaminated the pool so some seller's customer is going to get counterfeit goods by it probably won't be a customer of the counterfeiter.

That's not actually relevant for this case, however. In this case it sounds like the item in question was not fulfilled by Amazon but was directly shipped by a seller who is no longer active and cannot be reached using whatever contact information Amazon has.

I'm actually kind of surprised by this ruling because it seems like it is requiring Amazon to maintain current contact information for former sellers for some indeterminate amount of time. I guess the closest thing that I'm thinking of in terms of another business working like this is dropshipping where you sell items without maintaining an inventory but instead have the order shipped directly from a manufacturer or wholesaler to your customer. That's actually fairly common with a lot of computer equipment, where you'll see on a website a mention of "ships directly from manufacturer"
> But I think finding a trainer that understands therapy/recovery and that things need to go slow is..... let me say "difficult".

You're totally right, and I think finding that certain someone actually requires a lot of specialized knowledge to know what you're getting into. Failing that, very good references from people with past injuries. There are a lot of people out there who'll tell you they're professionals, but have never opened up a kinesiology text book or worked through a significant injury themselves.

Hopefully having someone at all would be better than going it alone, if only for the external motivation... But going slow is paramount, and if they want to make your recovery happen fast, it should probably be a deal breaker. That's a tough one.

That would certainly help. It would restrict some multi-html-file projects a bit though that use shared resources. Probably can be helped by having a folder named html-fetchable-files or something.
I suppose you are correct. But AFAIK at the moment it's not really used anywhere except in browsers. If you need to run it locally, why not just use normal Python?

Under the amendments, government officials would also be required, upon returning to Taiwan, to report to the agency they serve, with the mayors of special municipalities reporting to the Executive Yuan, and the mayors of other cities and county commissioners to the Ministry of the Interior.

Retired or former employees of government agencies associated with national defense, foreign affairs, technology, intelligence or China affairs agencies and who worked with national security, interests or secrets could also be required by the agency to report before and after travel to China, according to the amendments.
But it is decidedly legal to publish materials that explain how to do so.

Apparently beginning in the 1970s there was a nationwide movement to sunset state agencies. A choice quote from a Texas legislator in 1994:

> [I] never saw so many alligator shoes and $600 suits as when some agency is up for sunset review.

Source: https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Is+the+sun+setting+on+the+Tex...

That suggests a more general downside from sunsetting--it increases opportunities for lobbying. Worse, it benefits long-term preparation and strategy, which will favor monied interest groups and lobbyists especially. Which is similar to the downsides of term limits, which effectively shifts power to those behind the scenes--e.g. political operators, party bosses--rather than to the electorate. If you make serving in an office a literal revolving door, you empower those positioned to line people up at the door. Likewise, if you make lawmaking a process of continually rehashing old compromises, you empower those playing the long game.
