I've been missing the old internet. A little while ago I tried to find StumbleUpon and discovered it's transformed into more of a social media thing. I took a couple days to recreate what I thought of as the core StumbleUpon functionality - click button, get random site. And I've been trying to aggregate what feel like unique, individual, not well known sites into my index for it.

https://stumblingon.com

It currently gets about ten unique visitors and one or two submissions a day.
Buzzword bingo already? Why not though "gaslighting" in there with your "whataboutism" claim?
Exactly.

Arguments for "spinoff benefits" from research always seem really weak to me. If you want lighter, imperishable food, invest in food preservation, not a space program that might happen to produce freeze-dried food.
For some reason this made me yearn for a GAN that generates motorcycles riding through landscapes. Love the storytelling potential of your work, great stuff!

About what particularly? Blood transfusions in general are neither new nor rare.
I agree with your general points, but I'll argue against their relative priority.

You're saying that all speech is somehow political. I agree. Yet you must admit that on an advertising platform, there are some forms of political speech (e.g., the type allowed by ad buys) that, in lieu of some external regulation, will be _inherently_ biased. That is, the economic arrangement can only pit one group against another.

The only _true_ solution to this problem is a platform where the stakeholders (users) also govern all parts of the platform like a common pooled resource. But we know this cannot happen because, well, capitalism.

So I do not discount your claim that all goings-on in public fora are inherently political, I'll just pit two concrete facts against your abstract observation: 1) limiting political ad buys will be less bad than not limiting political ad buys and 2 we can only start really reasoning about your abstract concept of relative existential truths after we fundamentally fix a fundamentally broken economic and technical arrangement.
"The investigation revealed that the infected PC belonged to a user who was connected to the Internet connected network used for administrative purposes. This is isolated from the critical internal network."

The article explicitly states that there was no air gap at play here.
Airtable, maybe?
I'm more stunned at Twitter's UX. For example if a tweet of mine has x likes, I click on the link to see who liked it, and am often just greeted with a blank modal. I believe it has something to do with the likes being private, or likes from people who don't follow me? I actually don't know, and feel they could use this blank modal as a chance to tell me.

Their icon buttons on desktop have no tooltip. For some of them you can get a sense of what they do by hovering over them and looking at the url in the corner of the browser. But others that just have click handlers on them give you no clue at all. I could go on and on about how perplexing I find Twitter's UX to be, these are just two examples.
unfortunately im right there with you man. lol
SQL/GraphQL are query languages. Good for that, but not for fully develop an app.

FoxPro have his own language that allow mix SQL and imperative constructs:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_FoxPro

This mean:

* You code login in foxpro

* And the stored procedures

* And the forms

* And the reports

* And the script glues

* ....

"Just" adding SQL/GraphQL to a RDBMS is absolutely not enough. Both are too limited.

For example:

- Can you build a btree with SQL? No

- Work with the terminal? No

- Make a visual grid? No

- etc

Only query and maybe crud.
As I understand it, this change wraps the anodes in a conductive heater so the thermally efficient region is kept small, so it's potentially bad aspects are contained. It can heat up fast so is kind-of preconditioning, but perhaps less onerous.
He did not provide a bright line answer and hemmed and hawed quite a bit. He tried to reframe as “harm” but of course provided no clear definition there. So there’s “some” undefined policy that might maybe apply. He and the PR team really flubbed the obvious questions showing I think how uncomfortable and unclear they are internally about their policy and where to draw the line.

Ah, I see. So the problem isn't that the schoolteachers are dominantly female. The problem is that the fathers have abdicated as fathers - either through abandonment, divorce, workaholism, or just being absorbed in other things when home. And other men don't step in and fill the gap (relatives, neighbors, coaches, or religious figures).

And that circles right back to the article. If men aren't seen as valuable, including as fathers (not just biologically, but in terms of nurture), then more men abandon that role. That leaves more boys growing up with no male role models. That I can buy leading to "misogynistic and violent men", and even to mass shootings.

Obviously, if I'm going to share the image, I won't link it directly and would use an image hosting service, or just upload it directly to reddit for them to host.

All advertising is incredibly political, because companies operate in a politicized world.

Under this guidance for example, Shell could advertise all they want on twitter, but running an ad against Shell about how they pollute the environment or contribute to global warming would be banned.

So then your options are to ban all advertising, or be selective in what advertising you allow. Which is inherently a political position.
I wasn't talking about you per se or even Gates alone, so please don't take it as a personal attack. There's plenty of examples of people taking this guilt-by-association stuff way too far. A popular one is when politicians take a photo with an unsavoury character, even though they took a hundred that night alone, and the media spins it like their buddies.

The Gates case is more complicated, as you mentioned, but the general trend is worrying and I personally wouldn't public tell people I met with Epstein either.
What? PG&E aren't shutting off power because they are large.

They are shutting off power because there are massive windstorms hitting California right now that are hitting massive swaths of the state at once. Other utilities in California also are performing "public safety power shutoffs".

Even LADWP, the PUBLIC utility of Los Angles has commenced "public safety power shutoffs"

Mind you, the entire concept of "public safety power shutoffs" was 100% California state government approved in May.

Fellow (former) physicist here. I think you got downvotes because you merely asserted the death of string theory, and didn’t provide any facts. Ironic because string theory doesn’t present any new facts either. Down voters don’t know that what you state about string theory being dead is not just some guys opinion, but a general observation that any unbiased person in the field would infer. String theory was a fad that came and is now out of fashion.
Technology has been great for this, for me. I no longer travel with a camera (aside from phone) or my drone on group vacations. Everyone already has one. So I just let them take all of their photos and after the trip ask for the iCloud or Drive share link or whatever. It's great.

The difficulty is that we once used propaganda in war time, because we needed it. The problem now is that you don’t know who is doing it, and for what.

And propaganda back then wasn’t so clear cut. We were allied with Russia and at the end their population was truly decimated.
I find it hard to justify why, but I'm always so curious about those legacy systems still running in enterprise-scale companies. I doubt that working on them is anything short of terrifying, but I find it so interesting to hear about what important systems are still out there running just fine on ancient tech.
Yes, but the question is, did developing number theory hundreds of years in advance of its applications accelerate the development of, say, cryptography? Or would cryptographers have just worked out the number theory when they needed it? If it did accelerate the development of cryptography, how much acceleration did we get for that investment?

Also in modern times, especially, there is a big problem of discoverability. If the mathematical result you need for some application is buried in a thirty-year-old journal using unfamiliar terminology, what are the chances you'll find it and understand it when you need it? I venture to suggest that much of the time it's easier to re-derive the result than to find it.

My mother was widowed in her 50s, worked until she was 67. Her advice? "Don't retire too early. You'll just get bored."

I know it's good advice, but it's hard to want to follow it.
Anecdote: My grandma retired in her 60's, she is now 102. She used to own a bar, in France (you can imagine the secondhand smoke, back in the 60-70's). She is mentally sharp, although the last couple of years, she is napping more. Vision (always had issue) and hearing (super annoying now) are declining, but memory is still here, and with hearing aid, the conversation is fine (if you do not mind repeating sometimes).

So got retired for about 4 decades now (she lost my grandpa at the same time, it is crazy she lived ~40 years with him, and ~40 years without him). Even though she was not "working" (i.e. for a salary) in the past 40 years, she always kept herself busy, taking care of her house until 2 years ago when she went to assisted living place (not ideal, but it was becoming too dangerous for her to stay by herself past 100 years old). She like to do stationary bike until her 90's.

Her daughter (now 82 yo) has some sort of Alzheimer, and does not have any short memory or facial recognition. Strangely enough she does have very old memories that looks current to her e.g. she warned us that we need to hide from the Germans... second world war trauma I guess, but interesting how it is still in her memory, when she cannot remember what she ate for lunch.
So, for a while like until 5 years ago, my grandma (97yo at the time) was taking care of my aunty (77yo at the time), and was schooling her to make here remember of things. That was weird to witness... My aunty retired in her 60's too, did not exercise more than normal, but was always active maintaining a large house after her 5 kids left home. She worked in a hair salon for about 50 years (started at 16yo). I always wondered if hair products (ammonia, spray, etc.) did not play a role in the current situation.

I have no idea how much exercise can slow down the decline, but there is more than just exercise. Clearly I would put my grandma as a "fighter" spirit person. She was born in an extremely poor family (alcohol issue, ending her as an orphan), in Brest, France which was where the Spanish flu started in Europe, in 1918 (she was one year old). She is a tough cookie, in a frail body. She is short and always been kinda skinny, probably the result of malnutrition in her early years. But yet, here she is a century later. To be fair, she is a bit tired to be around, and see everyone around her either die or getting some sort of Alzheimer. Now she is friend with her kids friends, since all of her generation friends are not there anymore. It is kinda cute to see her talking to my dad's childhood friends who are in their 70's or 80's now, recalling some mischiefs that happened 60 or 70 years ago.

Running an outright dirty campaign would break ToS. So even if they were protected from deletion by virtue of being a politician, their tweets would no longer be included in feeds. It'd be political suicide.

Proper enforcement is hard. They won't get there soon. It'll come slowly for a few years to avoid mistakes. When AIs get reliable at detecting lies/harassment, enforcement will become the norm. (my prediction)

There are some great vids of the Skydio 2 in action on YouTube. One guy on a pit bike getting scared shitless about the abandoned area he drives around is pretty good.

Theres a certain predatory element to the flying the Skydio does while operating in trees that is awesome and creepy at the same time.

Edit: video in question - https://youtu.be/2UbRP5YsjuY

Flying starts around 4:30. Definitely watch it negotiate through the trees a bit then fast forward to the riding at the end if you get bored.

The cream should eventually rise to the top. Political ads are now archived for anyone to scrutinize. If a politician kept releasing ridiculous ads, voters and the general public would likely know about the existence at least. Censoring ads opens up a much larger can of worms IMO. "Republicans back the green deal" could mean:

a. Congressional Republican majority
b. Some elected Republicans
c. A group of Republican voters

If AOC ran that ad, it very well would be truthful for B and C, but should Facebook interpret the ad as describing A? There's way too much nuance to be the single arbitrator.

The research shows - contrary to common wisdom - that money only helps a campaign until it's reached all reachable voters with their message. After that, more spending does not matter.

It's true that (A) the candidate with the most money (B) usually wins, but that doesn't mean A causes B. It's more likely that the most popular candidate attracts both the most money and the most votes, simply by being more popular.

Ahhhh the never ending should UI live in the code, or should it live outside the code debate. There is definitely a cohort of people who find React and code based UI patterns better. There is also a cohort of people who prefer to keep the two separate. I tend to side with the former architecture, just from years of experience building software where keeping them separate actually doesn't win you anything. Yet I've met engineers who swear by XML/Interface Builder/VB style development. Hey, as long as you can build your software and get the job done and the tools are helping you get the job done, who am I to tell you what pattern to build with?!
Indeed! It's especially relevant because being smarter doesn't obviate the cost of doing experiments. The superintelligence still has to build hardware and wait around for results.
Well this sort of underscores the problem with this approach — who exactly is an elite? What exactly is political? We can’t even agree yet we think Twitter is going to be better at it than us? If it were up to me, I would design the platform as one in which all messages including those with mail-intent were allowed. Then I’d enable the client software to decide based on user preferences. Having a centralized scrutinizer is just a recipe for bad Ju-ju.
I only use left shift, too. I think it's just that right shift is way over to the right compared to left shift. Though I did take a proper typing class in high school, so I wonder how I managed to get away with that... :)

Sorry you can't drive a 2-ton vehicle through one of the most dense cities in the world, that also has a very extensive public transportation system.
(I didn't downvote you but) I think the "elites" are the ones who most abuse the right to free speech, by controlling mass media and the public narrative, as well as conflating political contributions as "speech". Money talks.

When Jack says:

> This isn’t about free expression. This is about paying for reach. And paying to increase the reach of political speech has significant ramifications that today’s democratic infrastructure may not be prepared to handle.

Paying for reach and political influence has already pushed democracy to the breaking point. The symptoms are everywhere, from the appalling state of public healthcare, to regulatory capture in virtually every industry, especially financial. The "elites" are not a single group, but a fractured one with varying interests vying for power - but they do have one thing in common, which is using money as speech to control the narrative.
I mean, when you have millions of line of code, it takes many many years to rebuild the system. It may make more sense to abstract away a part of the code and treat it as legacy-API-that-works-fine, and write new code in a new language.

> I've seen the simple act of untangling a globbed dependency to the various isolated files reduce the size of an output artifact by gigabytes.

And I don't take issue with what are obviously exceptional cases. What you are describing is not "I put togeather 5 related files" it's like "I globbed a file I wasn't supposed to".

> You're calling literally every language that doesn't use the c-linker an immature language. Which may include c++17-with-modules, though I don't know that for certain.

Uhhhh, I don't think you understand how the feature in question functions. I am simply talking about the -M option family of gcc (and similar commands for other compilers). Which provides a dependency tree for C++ files.

> At least not if you do any fancy precompilation/tree-shaking to your js at compile time.

I think it's actually the opposite. Those are the same tools that provide the reflection features in question (or some other AST parsing library)... then you write a two line lambda and feed that in over an interpreter. Boom list of files.

>If gas stations were without power and being rationed, sounds like ICE vehicle owners were pretty fucked too.

Yes, but the problem has been very easily corrected for little cost (law mandating generators which don't take much to run pumps, not to mention they can run off the gasoline in the station).

The problem is, gasoline stations only exist by and large because of existing ICE demand. If the switch to EVs happened, gasoline stations would disappear fast given they operate on tight margins. The next major storm after that critical mass switchover and things will be ulgy.
