And if you curate news, you likely create a propaganda section selected by individuals or a small group of individuals. It's not as if an unbiased AI hand-picks which stories are of factual merit and representative of the current world context. Is a story from Facebook's curated feed about protests over a children's TV show more significant and accurate than "NASCAR’s Bubba Wallace wants confederate flags banned from race tracks"? Is J.K. Rowling doubling down on a "transphobic manifesto" more significant and/or accurate than the sister of a slain police officer asking "Where’s the outrage for a fallen officer who happens to be African American?"? A group of curators selecting content does not necessarily make that content any more factual either. Curated news greater possibility of being propaganda because the news selection is in the hands of the few instead of the many.

Is a propaganda section a propaganda section if it contains propaganda from both sides? I suppose, in that it is a section that contains propaganda, but the section itself does not serve as an unequal biasing agent for viewers, unless your issue with the engagement-based recommendation is that you believe it is biased in a certain direction.

That seems like quite the assumption to assume that people will think content has factual merit because it shows up in their news section. People should not be treated with kid gloves and herded in certain directions out of fear that we will harm ourselves. Facebook should clearly label news sections as "Selections Based on Engagement" and "Selections By Facebook Curators". People are capable of understaning that the selected news is biased.

What a coincidence that such alleged bug exists for this particular person at this particular time. A virtue-signaling google employee blocking the photo in support of BLM is the simplest and most likely explanation.
The problem with the equation is it doesn’t include the individual who had their data stolen. If the school didn’t properly construct itself to code and I got hurt inside of it, I can sue. But if my data was stolen and my credit is destroyed I don’t have an option (I haven’t heard of anyone claiming this, but it could be true and idk).

We need laws out in place to treat human data as someone’s property. If your data is mishandled with negligence and you experience provable hardship, there should be repercussions just like any other situation.
Yeah, ~$45 dollars min for ice40LP on digikey: https://www.digikey.com/products/en/development-boards-kits-...

But I have no idea how proper it is, only ~10x the cost of the FGPA itself. I'm still interested in it though, kind of want to buy it now but to lazy to figure out how to buy it from where I am now in indonesia and imports are a PITA here :/
It’s one example out of many where rust users bring a political topic (and yes, post-gender queer theory stuff is political) into a discussion where there’s no reason to do so except to leverage the discussion as a platform for boosting your political belief. It’s very unprofessional, very counterproductive, and a huge turn off for people who don’t have the same fringe politics.
I can see a difference between light-hearted speculation about an imaginary crab's gender and saying that non-gender-binary people don't exist. Can you think of any reason why one of these might be allowed, while the other might not be?
Gilad Bracha gave an interesting talk (or in his words, "[maybe] the best talk I ever gave") called "Utopia and Dystopia: Smalltalk And The Wider World", where he posits a universe where the Smalltalk community has recognized and proactively fixed this problem, along with some other problems that outsiders see when they look at Smalltalk.

His blog is also great to follow as a general programming blog, and as it turns out, he wrote a post just two weeks ago where he rehashes some of the content.

...unless you are using a language where types are not part of the contract and not used in dispatching, such as Elixir.

I have mixed feelings about that because, on the other hand, in runs on the BEAM VM and as long as lack of typing leads to a proper crash, you may be OK as long as your code is written correctly.

Greenwald equated Michael Flynn's plea deal with the plight of poor folks being forced into bad deals by disinterested public defenders/overextended court systems on a recent episode of The Intercepted podcast. I no longer recognize the person I used to look forward to seeing as a guest on Democracy Now.
>you just have to wait them out.

I'm not sure this is true. My experience is that either the mob is destroyed by force, or they manage to convert enough out of fear that they end up controlling the institution they were attacking.
What you say makes sense in principle, but I don't think it sufficiently accounts for the fact that with AI we can mass generate enormous quantity of artwork with essentially zero incremental effort.

If I create an AI that creates billions of different image of dogs sitting on a park bench, and then someone else creates an image of a dog sitting on a park bench, odds are pretty high that it would look substantially similar to at least one of my AI generated images. Would it then be fair for me sue whoever is using that image for copyright infringement?
Sure, it's not the best situation that a human can ever imagine.

But let's not exaggerate. It's not bad for whatsapp founders. Better than 99.9999999999% of the population (maybe add a couple 9s at the end).

For me, I don't even wanna make a single donation because I need to save every dollar. I can't join any protest or get involved in any politics because I'm already busy enough with my own life.

Whatsapp founders now have 6,000,000,000 USD to power the change they want to see happen. Ok, maybe 5B, as they might want to keep 1B for living cost.

Noob question. Isn't some GPU acceleration for 2D used since forever? I keep being perplexed as to why browsers still have problems with it (at least on my older Macbook with a shitty Intel's embedded GPU). I thought some stuff, like scrolling, was offloaded at least in early/mid-2000s, making for a distinctly meh experience when proper drivers weren't installed.

Is the left losing their minds of their own accord? Or are people becoming more reactionary due to the unprecedented level of insanity that the right has displayed and wielded with actual political power of late? Calls for liberals to be be rational when a trump administration rules the country is a bit odd, since reasoned debate does no good there, or with the current GOP senate. what is left? throw a fit is about all that is left.
Wonderful thank you! I have had a hard time finding a replacement and "time grid" wasn't a good search term!
I 'turned on him' because as I learned more about him I trusted his motives less.

If I thought his motives were pure, I would give him more slack but I think he has nefarious motives based on his indiscriminate releases. 150 years sounds right for a spy at his stature without a state sponsor, good thing we aren't at war or there may be an argument to kill him.
Ironically the US, the "land of the free", forced Snowden to stay in Russia because that's where he happened to be when the US canceled his passport.
Thanks! Skulpt doesn't implement NumPy out of the box, but I'm using a library which is basically a shim / partial implementation of NumPy for Skulpt:

It's fairly outdated (5-years old) and doesn't implement some of the functions I wanted to use (like equality), but otherwise works pretty well.
No, factual assertions are discredited by not being able to come up with proof. If I say that Mister Rogers raped a goat in a field in Pennsylvania in 1988, and am unable to come up with any proof, my assertion is discredited.
That isn't as uncommon as you may think. Especially when talking about DR (disaster recovery) plans, sneakernet is certainly a valid way to get backup data from off-site because you never know what the network status will be when you need to enact your plan.

I am a subscriber to the NYT as well and lean center right politically. The NYT is without question the best newspaper in the country, and worth reading despite their editorial slant. Ignore the front page and the op-ed section and their coverage is wider, deeper And better written than any other US newspaper. (The Washington Post is good for politics, but mostly cause it’s the local paper in a one company town.)

But TFA isn’t about bias so much as the the left leaning press eating itself with doctrinaire purges.

Absolutely agreed. And from what I hear, the spirit of Transmeta ended up in a lot of other places (either via cleanroom design of similar tech, personnel working on similar projects, or inspiration).

People are also starting to wake up to the just how underhanded and illegal technology companies will behave to squash their competitors, whereas I think the 00s still had rose tinted glasses about the best technical product winning.
I understand.

Problem is that any practical 2D rendering solution shall support as GPU as CPU rendering unfortunately.

It would be interesting to see any GPU equivalent of something like AGG by Max Shemanarev, RIP.
Also curious here...
That's true, and I usually like Taibbi, but I think he's misreading the issue.

The real overton window has moved a little bit, but a lot of this is really about Twitter. Many institutions, including universities and publishers, act like Twitter outrage represents their real readers and communities.

This isn't true. Twitter is a thick bubble that gives the loudest voice to the angriest, most passionate outrage-mongers. Sometimes they use it for good causes, other times they're way outside the mainstream. They also firmly believe, in a way that's constantly contradicted by polling, surveys, and talking to people in real life, that they're not only right but the majority.

I can't say for sure that it's getting worse, but it feels like.
What about the Webkit Nightly builds though? Those basically seem to be Safari.
You can say it's invalid but it's the fact of the matter, the reality, and since the data in question is only in the app because the owner of the data has access to the app it means that the data is not locked away from the owner, because they have access to the export function.

People in the former oppressor class always frame societal upheaval in terms of disorder caused by the moral failings of the former victim in this case your talk of female promiscuity.

After we freed the slaves im sure lower income laborers too poor to have been responsible for owning anyone were put off by having to compete for jobs.

Incels long for an imaginary time when naive women would have accepted their advances and been happy instead of chosen men like jobs or cars by comparing specs.

They rationalize away any actual responsibility for their own lives by pretending it's all down to immutable factors like height, race, facial structure and mock fellow incels for trying to improve health, self, or wealth because this would invite self blame for not doing so.

Inequality is a legitimate concern but this evil self hate isn't on society. We will have to help everyone we can with mental health support and for those who commit acts of violence and terror we have bullets and jail cells.

Do you have a better idea or would you like to indulge yourself in more nostalgia for a world that was worse for everyone except middle class white men?
It was discredited, Steele's own source reported to the FBI that the stuff in the report was full of hearsay, rumor, misstatements, and exaggeration: 'the Primary Sub-source told the FBI that he/she had not seen Steele's reports until they became public that month, and that he/she made statements indicating that Steele misstated or exaggerated the Primary Sub-source's statements in multiple sections of the reporting. 336 For example, the Primary Sub-source told the FBI that, while Report 80 stated that Trump's alleged sexual activities at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Moscow had been "confirmed" by a senior, western staff member at the hotel, the Primary Sub-source explained that he/she reported to Steele that Trump's alleged unorthodox sexual activity at the Ritz Carlton hotel was "rumor and speculation" and that he/she had not been able to confirm the story....In addition, the FBI interviews with the Primary Sub-source revealed that Steele did not have good insight into how many degrees of separation existed between the Primary Sub-source's sub-sources and the persons quoted in the reporting, and that it could have been multiple layers of hearsay upon hearsay. For example, the Primary Sub-source stated to WFO Agent 1 that, in contrast to the impression left from the election reports, his/her sub-sources did not have direct access to the persons they were reporting on. Instead, the Primary Sub-source told WFO Agent 1 that their information was "from someone else who may have had access." The Primary Sub-source also informed WFO Agent 1 that Steele tasked him/her after the 2016 U.S. elections to find corroboration for the election reporting and that the Primary Sub-source could find none. According to WFO Agent 1, during an interview in May 2017, the Primary Sub-source said the corroboration was "zero."'

This is all in the Horowitz Report.

There is zero reason to believe anything in the Steel Dossier.

It's going to take a new kind of software engineer to build these fully distributed systems. You can imagine calls for "Senior Serverless Engineers". Will conventional serverful engineers be left in the dust, or will the serverless engineers just break away and pioneer the apps on a new scale?
> There’s one exception to this: x86_64 allows for a 64-bit displacement with the a* registers.

I don't think the example for this (https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/35ytYW) is correct.

The highlighted instruction ("movabs rax, offset x") is not a load, it's just moving the address of x into rax. The "offset x" operand is a 64-bit immediate (not a displacement). It will be resolved to the address of x with a relocation.

Indeed, you can get the compiler to emit this form of "movabs" into other registers, which contradicts the point that 64-bit displacements are a* specific: https://godbolt.org/z/3MYTUC

To get a load or store to a 64-bit displacement, I think you want something like this: https://godbolt.org/z/4QMtpo

Amen. I wish more developers realized that without deliberate effort, minification == obfuscation.

I've written small custom scripts to reformat and enhance redfin's data when I was househunting, to declutter (read: adblock) pinterest, etc etc.

Navigating markup is a nightmare when each node has 10 minified classes with no obvious meaning, and such frequent overlap that it's difficult to infer from usage alone. And that's before the weekly rotation.

aside: I wonder if there's appetite for a tool that takes snapshots of markups/css and tries to automatically update old -> new classes.

It wasn't rude, it was predictive, and I predicted correctly. You literally ignored the second half of the sentence where I already explained why your incorrect conclusion is incorrect.

Your logic makes perfect sense, in a world where I/O bound processes, JIT versus interpretation differences, garbage collection versus reference counting differences, etc., don't exist. But those things do exist in the real world, so if your logic doesn't include them, you're quite likely to be wrong. In general, an interpreted concurrent system is far too complex to make performance predictions about based only on logic, because your logic can't possibly include all the relevant variables.

> No need for evidence or data driven techniques.

Well, there's where you're wrong. It turns out that if you actually collect evidence through experimentation, you'll discover results that are not predicted by your logic.

> Then you hilariously decided to dismiss it before i even presented it.

Well, you presented basically what a predicted, so... I wasn't wrong.

> But you seem perfectly comfortable in being rude and accusing me of making stuff up. I'm not comfortable in going around the internet and trashing other peoples theories with accusations that they are making shit up. If you disagree say it, I respect that. I don't respect the part where you're saying I'm making stuff up.

You are, in fact, making stuff up. If you are offended by accurate description of your behavior, behave better.

Thank you for doing so.

If you don’t mind some feedback for the way posts are marked, read on. :)

There is no doubt that the post is technically a dupe.

I realize now (from your comment) that a post can be flagged either for its content or the content of the conversation. I was only thinking of the former, and under that system it would make a lot more sense for things to get marked consistently (ie if a link is flagged, it is flagged if it gets reposted). That allows us to understand better what things are allowed here and what are not. A dupe flag tells me that there is nothing wrong with the link or the type of content it contains (or the conversation that took place under it, for that matter.) If somebody had not posted the link to the original, I would have never known that the article had been removed for its content (again or the conversation). I would have thought I simply missed the discussion.

In fact, that’s precisely what happened to me. Since I was enjoying it, I clicked through to the older post, only to get whiplash as I discovered that it was a conversation that was apparently not allowed here.

I hope that explains why I felt so frustrated and misled by the [dupe] flag, and that it t is a help to you in your moderation work.

Edited to add: To be clear, my point was not to allow the conversation to continue (though I’m glad you did). My point was that the second removal should get marked the same way so it’s clear what is going on.
