I can't help but notice these patterns all over society and especially in tech. FAANG, Uber, Microsoft, TV, internet, dark patterns everywhere.
The author mentions that the shape of the curve from 117M parameters to 175B is interesting, but doesn't show it. Does anyone have the graph?
Very much related to the sister comment that recommended resilio sync, I usually tell people to install the free (but equally good) synthing when I want to transfer very large files in private. I have it running anyways, and it's not too big of a hassle to install for them. It has the added benefit that you can abort and resume the transfer at any point, which is especially useful if you're transferring from some noisy machine that you want to turn off during the night.
There's already a few more general repos out there. For example, this one focuses on US attrocities: https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/master/us_atrociti...

And this one is a general one about America's shit: https://github.com/mikeizbicki/american-shit (disclaimer: it's my repo)
I see Solid uses proxy to 'get' and 'notice update' the state. This seems providing a better DX than s-js. However, Solid require developer to explicitly use 'react style/hook' to update the state.

Why not also use proxy to 'set' and 'notice update' on the state?
White supremacists or militiamen (that can be specifically identified as such) no, but there seem to be a suspiciously high number of videos showing masked up young white kids who are cleary instigating destruction, and encouraging others to do so.

How true is all this? We'll likely never know, but it seems odd that the media and FBI seem to have very little interest in this very plausible scenario.
> That is the thing about collectivism though. Imagine one person throwing a bottle from the crowd at the police(something which can be seen in tons of videos). The idea of collectivism implies that the crowd itself is no longer innocent at that point.

You are confusing the idea of collectivism (in which each individual is responsible for the welfare of the members of the group, and is expected to sacrifice to some extent—different variations on collectivism vary on the extent—their own welfare for the common good) with the concept of collective punishment (a widely recognized violation of human rights and, in the context of armed conflict, a war crime, in which members of a group are punished for mere shared membership in a group which contains wrongdoers, without any evidence of collaboration in or support for the wrongdoing.)

They are not equivalent.
Like Java, I can write a Go program, compile it on my computer for 3 different OSes, ship the binaries, and I can be reasonably sure that it works on other OSes.

All of this has been possible for decades (eg cross compile C++), but Go is the first mainstream compiled-to-native language that I know that makes it easy. Thanks to this, I can run many utilities written in Go on my Windows box, written mostly by people who likely never even tested in on Windows. That's pretty amazing to me.

People just drop a Windows binary on GitHub and think "I'll get the PR if stuff doesn't work". They'd never do that if it cost them effort to cross build a Windows binary. People didn't do that before Go, and many modern OSS command line utilities / server apps only worked on unixes.

Or pay for it. There is always a cost for free.
One of the things that Allen only barely hints at and I'm not sure Gilads piece really touches on was the shifting economics in Software development. In 1995/96 when Java gut punched the wind out of Smalltalk and the other OO solutions (CLOS, Eifel, Beta, etc), they spent a butt load on marketing and gave the stuff away for free. In other industries it would be called "dumping." It wasn't just Sun giving Java away. It was also the beginning of the rise of Linux, also free. I remember a colleague pointing out "there is no money in tools anymore, there's a few niche islands left, but they'll fail too."

I think neither of these articles aptly covers this counter trend enough. Whilst Smalltalk had come out of the kind of freeish academic research zone with its small band of developers of un-patroned developers trying to eke out a living, the industry was clamoring to free and open source.

What I wouldn't give to have closures that were as simple and robust and approachable as Smalltalk in any of the languages I work in today (Swift, Kotlin, Python, Dart, C).

(Did 20 years of Smalltalk, including 6 years at Cimcom)
Unions are tied to pensions. Pensions are tied to politics. You’d have to create a greater economic force then tens or hundreds of billions of dollar pension funds.
> Can you find a single video of an ambulance being stopped by protests?

Why would anyone make a video of stopped traffic?
> On the second point, handing armored vehicles and body armor to a group that isn't well versed in their use and effects on the opposing force is a bad idea.

This may be a topic of another discussion but I wouldn't call it a bad idea in a country where everyone and their dog has firearms, just saying...
>fathers literally fought in the war to keep slavery legal.

The civil war was never about slavery.
I'm not denying that "the public" do it.

I'm pointing out that _cops_ do it.

And they absolutely need to be held to a higher standard than "the public", because we give them guns and state sanctioned use-of-force. They cannot do their job without respect of their authority, and they do not have that respect, and they are doing the exact opposite thing of winning it back.

While not condoning the "textbook black bloc" actions, I can see why 2 centuries of systematic oppression might lead some people in some sections of society to think there are no other options.

I have no explanation for the current police behaviour that's more sympathetic than cynical South Park quotes. And if _that's_ how they want to be portrayed? Well, I guess they're achieving it...

(And as I pointed out elsewhere in this thread, I too have doubts about the veracity of that article I posted - but it's at least in mu mind, more than plausible. And _that_ is a serious problem. I too urge HNers to decide for themselves if they trust their local police force to think none of them would ever use unnecessary force, or go agent provocateur. If you have any doubt, you have a big problem.)
Does anyone have information about how frequently keys are rotated or exchanged? Seems like keeping 100 radios on the same channel could be hard to do without the potential for human error to leak some data - cops aren't typically very tech savvy.
alternatively, the FBI is sponsoring "free" for whoever wants it.
We do. SWAT teams absolutely exist. You're seeing them here.
I'm using "Just an Email" [1] for quite a while now, on a self-hosted server. QR-code generation has been integrated - I simply press "Start" on my computer, scan the QR code with my mobile, and can share links, files and texts in realtime. That's easy enough for my use-case.

Yeah I'm tired of this loudmouthed confused old man from the Northeast who groped and digitally penetrated his Senate staffer... oh, wait.

Maybe this "electing better people" thing could be a challenge.
Truly an insane moment that really underscores the level of fear these cops are acting under. If they are that unstable, they should not be out in the field currently.

I have said this elsewhere on HN, but I think these protests would be better for everyone if police simply did not show up. I think the video we are referencing is a great example why.
Everyone knows you can't report on science without promising cellphones that you only have to charge once per week.
I think civil unrest will set back privacy efforts. Basically, when people are scared, they want the government to protect them and theirs, and privacy concerns are pushed to the back burner.
Almost all DOS games I played at the time worked fine in Windows 95. There were just a couple that I needed custom boot disks for.
You know this is legit when the install instructions mention JAX.
What's wrong with the analogy? Tubes each have a limited capacity, so do the various ways I connect to the net. That capacity can fill. Tubes connect and their contents routed similar to the contents of internet traffic. If you drew a diagram of water tubes and a diagram of internet connections they'd both resemble each other.

I'm still not sure why this is a bad analogy even in context.
Can they encrypt the calls at all if they allow people to call in? They would be the ones receiving the phone call, so they would need to be able to decrypt the zoom call in order to send it over the phone. I guess they could encrypt calls only if you disable dialing in or something.
Acme is an editor.
That's what everyone tries to do but it's fatally flawed, especially since the practitioners are often clueless about some of the soft emergent behaviours in between (like chemistry). As Sydney Brenner quipped, modern systems biology is low input, high throughput, no output science., Or as a cs person might say, GIGO principle in action.
Given their eagerness to work with the FBI why would anyone not assume they’d give the FBI encryption keys for paid sessions of interest to them?
Perhaps less applicable to the Facebook issue, but I have found Mastodon to be a potentially viable replacement for Twitter, though it definitely skews heavily towards the tech crowd.

Chronological timelines, and user-driven moderation. Plus there are way more users now than there were when I joined a few years ago.
I’ve changed my mind on this recently; I suspect that if the protestors today had been heavily armed and armored, the cops would not have attacked them.

Maybe the smartest move is for the legitimate protestors to go somewhere else, do something else, so that we can isolate those who are taking advantage of the chaos to riot and loot. The protestors are basically just cover for the rioters/looters at this point. To play devil's advocate, they play cover for each other. Protestors retain legitimacy by claiming the rioters/looters are some other people. Rioters/looters can do their work because of all the people and chaos. Protestors have the leverage of continuing violence and destruction unless their demands are met while looters get their free Jordans and Gucci.
Well, respect for coming out and saying it directly.
The reality is that this is being made out to be way more insidious than it is. Platforms should work with authorities so that bad actors like known terrorists can’t use a free platform to organize.

To the crowd who says “well you can do bad stuff if you pay” - If terrorists are paying for Zoom, they’re leaving a paper trail for the FBI. Free platforms are ripe for abuse because they’re free.
Being a large enough crowd to block an intersection does not mean your views are valid enough to be supported by everyone else. Would you really advocate joining KKK protests just because they were large?
Automation has always created better new jobs to replace the ones it’s eliminated for 10,000 years straight. Why would that change now?
No, the project got cancelled before Java showed up. Sybase pretty much went down the tubes after that as a major DBMS vendor. Not because our project failed, but because Sybase had a dud release in 1993 named System 10 that had serious quality problems and tanked sales.
Sorry for the late reply will probably be buried, but I don't know how someone in opposition to tolerance has any kind of moral high ground to be any kind of meaningful political enemy. It is like a core aspect of a society to have be some kind of accepting. It's like an open world or closed world problem, and none of us really live in a closed world ultimately.
One of the big advantages Windows had on the desktop is the absolutely fanatical commitment to backwards compatibility. While this affected purity, it gave businesses the assurance that the software they owned would still continue to work.
A dozen more people have died on all sides and combinations so now it's self-perpetuating chain reaction into civil war.
My French language classes, typically held in person after work, moved to online and over Zoom. Initially, we tried Google Meet and found it laggy and that we would often drop out. Then we moved to Zoom and it has been a much better experience. The interface is more intuitive, has a few more features and somehow the quality has improved and the connection is much smoother. I care deeply about my privacy, but I'm lucky that we don't discuss anything sensitive in our classes such that the security issues and the lack of encryption would become a big deal.

EDIT: We tried Meet, not Hangouts.
If there's an ambulance stuck, it might be stuck behind a bunch of cars that can't move.
Not only did I saw plenty of interviews of Alan Kay, I learned OOP with Turbo Pascal 5.5, improved my OOP skills with Turbo Vision 6.0 in TP 6 and Borland C++.

Later moved into Turbo Pascal for Windows and Turbo C++ for Windows, using Object Windows Library, followed by early versions of C++ Builder and Delphi, using Visual Component Library.

Used Smalltalk/V during university, was introduced to the alternative OOP programming models of SELF, SWI Prolog, Native Oberon (including Oberon-2 / Component Pascal) and plenty of other stuff, including being a Java early adopter and pushing C++ with IDE tooling on places still stuck in C.

So yeah, Smalltalk was a genius environment and everyone has a different learning process.

For example I try to stay away from UNIX cli as much as I can, yet I learned UNIX via Xenix in 1993 and used almost every major UNIX variant since then.
Was this the coroner or medical examiner? I didn't think the coroner did a report. The medical examiner released their full report shortly after the preliminary one and did state the death was ultimately due to asphyxiation. I read that the initial medical examiner's report didn't go this far b/c they had not completed their review and they needed to get a report out quickly so that the officers could be charged.
> There is always a cost for free.

There is? I'm not sure what my cost for clang, python, llvm, firefox, is for being free. Even wikipedia, mdn, openstreetmaps, ...
It's literally footage from 7 News Australia, the biggest TV station in Australia.

Are you suggesting the footage was doctored? Where do you host video, if not YouTube? Honest question. If video from a reputable Australia News crew, hosted on YouTube is not adequate, what do you think would be?
Well none of the things the protesters wanted (broken up banks, more taxes for the rich, arrested bank execs, more social entitlements, etc) came to fruition.
No only 5 states voted for Goldwater (the same 5 that voted for Wallace). The South has 13 states, 14 if you count Maryland. Wallace ran as an independent but he lost and then returned as a Democrat governor for Alabama. Again, I repeat myself from elsewhere, the south continued to be strongly Democrat in state elections and Congress until the 90s, with Gore and Clinton representing the last strong showing of the old hegemony (enjoying fairly strong support in the south until 2000).

Also, the myth that the "solid south" began cracking in 1964 can easily be dispelled by looking at the 1960 election, Kennedy v. Nixon, with Kennedy carrying 8 states in the South (w/ Byrd picking up 2).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960_United_States_president...

Or the 1956 election, where Eisenhower took half the South and the rest of the country: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1956_United_States_president...
If it’s only a question of money, if a 3 letter agency or someone else pays more than you to access your unencrypted data then what happens?
If there are 1000 cops and 50 start brawling with the protestors...
I guess the hopes of the Keybase acquisition leading to better privacy in Zoom are dead.
I see mostly black folks. Is it racist to state what I see? How many black folks are white supremacists?
Means of employment and racial characteristics are not the same thing. Only one is voluntary.
Most previous versions of iOS are rootable - easy on an older phone that can't be updated.
That was definitely a major point.
> Riots happen when the social contact is broken.

Were you saying the same things during the lockdown protests?
What about Google Meet? Did you try it? I heard that its performing okay.
Ever heard of stolen credit cards
In the context of the speaker's insane quote, in which he blamed streaming video for a 4-day delay of his personal emails, it doesn't make much sense. Also it's a rhetorical fallacy to suggest that because a thing is not another thing, then it must be a third thing. Really, the Internet is neither a truck nor a series of tubes.
What if you call the Grubhub number from a prison phone!
The best thing for Americans and for the rest of the world would be for USA to be broken up into about ten pieces. It would really suck for armaments manufacturers, though, so it ain't gonna happen.

Really?!? Then one wonders how C keeps its hegemony.

How does Debian deal with other stuff also not written in C?
I wonder if that is just people lazily mapping old paradigms onto this new space. Holding a gesture to simulate a button is a perfect example of that.

While in the demo of the cat, you see all kinds of sliders being manipulated as well as rotations and pinches that seem instanteneous.I think they got it right by making the buttons virtual entities.

This is how I know your views are driven by your political biases.
yes, you are. Google has no incentive to spy on Firebase projects because any project using firebase could contain sensitive data and any company that believed Google would spy on the data would not use them so Google would lose market. The same is true for AWS and Azure

Trevor Noah gave an incredibly insightful commentary about this here: https://youtu.be/v4amCfVbA_c

I highly recommend watching it even if you don't like or usually don't agree with him. He frames this as a row of dominoes and the societal contract that black people constantly see violated.
Can you please move into a glass house. I just need to make sure you’re not doing anything bad, and the FBI can’t see through your walls.

Also I’ll need a copy of your bank account statement. I just need to take a look. Make sure it’s ok. Unless someone else has recently.

The narrative that we should sack our privacy to help “law enforcement” is fucking braindead.
If you are using these videos as evidence to make a racist point, then yeah it would be racist.

I provide these videos in hopes people will knock it off with the conspiracy theories about white people being the ones rioting and looting. Police brutality disproportionately affect black and brown people. So why is it wrong to think that it would be mainly black and brown people who would be angered and go on a rioting/looting spree to lash out against the oppressors?
I've seen a lot of cessna-style aircraft circling over south seattle at low altitude in the last few days - no visible camera - I bet that's what they're being used for.

A mass protest is by all means a form of collectivism. Everyone has the right to protest and everyone has the responsibility to keep it civilized. Collective punishment may be a violation of human right and it should be condemned but what is your solution when you have the manpower of say 1,000 people vs a crowd of 100,000 and your task is to make sure that the city is still there the next morning? Just do the math.
C#er here. The .NET world is confusing and hard to navigate if you haven't being doing it for years. The various flavours of .NET. The various ways of doing concurrency depending on what version it was introduced in. It's actually quite hard to get a project running in .NET core with EF for example from what I found. VSCode crapped out trying to install Nuget packages. I mostly use classic .NET. A lot to be said for getting started quickly. I have not used Go but I imagine it's great at that. Quickly compile to a single binary and ship that.
Yeah that doesn’t seem right. What Debian requirement does this follow from?
Of course, most of the looters are undercover cops anyway.

You cannot draw simple conclusions I believe but still the stats show that

Black and Hispanic police are as likely or more likely to kill people of color as white officers

With regard to your second point, you're hinting at something, why don't you spell out your aetiology for the high levels of crime along black people along with your evidence for that causation.
I would say that is correct.

(Fascinating trivia: California allowed open carry until the Mulford Act in 1967 restricted it -- directly in response to the Black Panthers practicing it. The Act was signed into law by Ronald Reagan, with the explicit support of the National Rifle Association.)
If there was a stopped ambulance with its siren on, people would find that very interesting and record it. This isn't some boring traffic jam, it's very political.

Anyways, if you're trapped in traffic and not moving, there's not much else for you to do besides get out your phone and take some video.
It's hard to believe that report when it doesn't name any of the people or organizations they met with. As far as I know, the protesters don't have any leaders that could negotiate on their behalf.
