I think that statement "ultimately a machine" is hinged upon a philosophical view that existence is simply the result of various material interactions, chemistry, physics and what have you that is pretty common in our culture but also originates from the view of a clockwork universe with divine creator. Nowadays the idea of a creator is often omitted and people suggest that its just everything is just caused by the consequences of the big bang or what have you. I have been suspicious of this kind of reductionist view but also found that a lot of alternatives fly way too quickly into nonsensical dogma without acknowledging that they are just making up something to feel better. The "truth" I like to embrace is kind a panpsychic panspermia pantheism that recognizes that we as humans with limited perception and knowledge are probably part of much larger processes and there are emergent entities created in part through our minds/bodies. These entities can be us as individual humans or something like a family, church, company or government composed of many individuals but acting in concert as a larger entity.
That is not entirely correct for Rust. I know because I helped a friend of mine debug the porting process. (Apple did not see fit to give me access to the hardware, alas.)

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/73908 has the full details.

(Also, not to be super pedantic, but this (among other things) is partially why I said "and is only going to get better in the future," that is, the support is generally good (I know, I am literally doing some of that in another tab right now) but not flawless.)
So it's better to have rural dwellers with an outsized voice in deciding what happens in city areas?

You also are performing a convenient geographic sidestep where suddenly "where you live" isn't the country or even the state but is really only concerned with the local. So the rest of the people who live in the nation are diminished.

Localism has led to lots of problems in American history, now we can add a shitshow of a Coronavirus response on top of the others.

The party of localism tends to be gung-ho about that huge federal military operation... yet refuses a necessarily-similar intervention in a pandemic.
One might even say it makes the conversation less “accessible”
Disagree strongly. The main reason is one needs to understand how much leverage you can gain by successfully playing very risky far-out-of-the-money call/put options, but also that the volume on stocks (and derivatives) like $TLSA is insane, and millions are being traded in it every single minute.

$TSLA OTM call/put options with the right tweet could easily make someone millions, and the liquidity and open volume is crazy enough on them that it'd be very hard to be found out. If that isn't good enough, you could post rumors and tweets beforehand to cause many others to also buy in, and there would be no way to reasonably separate who was behind it and who just joined in on it.

For example:

1) Tweet as Elon musk "Very good TSLA news coming up"

2) many more people buy calls, including yourself

3) Tweet as Elon musk "TSLA earning are going to beat by so much"

4) sell your calls for puts

5) Tweet very negative/offensive/terrible content
The FBI has some very effective ways to pick faces out of the crowd once there's real money on the line.

One of the advantages of using BTC for this attack is that as a stateless currency, fewer states are willing to dedicate resources to pursue people getting their BTC defrauded out from under them.
You think the FBI and SEC couldn't get a warrant, look through 10000 people's trading activity and have a list of 100 most likely suspects within a single day?
This possibility makes quite a bit of sense to me. It explains why the attackers went to so much trouble, given that world leader and major CEO DMs could be quite valuable, while also explaining why they bothered with the seemingly trivial crypto scam.

> Just like with array access, the compiler can often optimize the checks away, making the safe and unsafe versions equivalent when the compiler can prove it.

Can it "often" solve the halting problem as well?

The hope that this kind of optimization will happen sounds a bit fanciful for any non-trivial part of a program.
I have the same question... if a type is used by the type-checker to verify the consistency of the data it’s annotating, then I don’t see how a recursive definition could provide anything new, other than potentially making type checking run forever...

Although maybe there’s something conceptually satisfying about defining bottom as the only type that refers to itself?
Cuz, TSLA is MUSK. WIthout him, the company has batteries on wheels.
Well, there's always 4chan, which is exactly what you just said. Not exactly a poster-boy for quality internet discussion.

Also, I recommend https://bengrosser.com/projects/twitter-demetricator/ to remove metrics from twitter.
I wonder why they didn't target Donald Trump's account. My guess is that there's some accounts hidden behind a different structure that is only accesible to a handful of people.

Or maybe they just didn't want to shake the hornet's nest.
For consistency you would also expect `257u32 as u8` to panic (which it doesn't, and never has); the `as` operator has always been about fast-and-lossy conversions, with the standard library ideally providing methods for more principled conversions.
> They're going to heavily investigate everyone that made a half million on a super high volume, widely shorted stock in a time of extreme volatility?

These arguments all seem to be operating on the assumption that there would be a large number of day/swing traders who would exit their positions with perfect timing, but this is unlikely because they wouldn't have the knowledge that the price move was ephemeral and driven by a false rumor. The number of people who made a half million off it would be a lot smaller than you think.
Either way, why are the <> necessary?

local f close = io.open("foo.txt")

seems fine.
Why short at all? That is asking for trouble.
Buy some stock, then make some incredibly positive claims on Elon’s Twitter (l4 self driving perfected, coming next week to all customers after a lengthy secret testing. New battery chemistry wildly better than anticipated, twice the power density and a life of 25000 charge cycles - and it even costs less to make, without needing any cobalt or rare earths).

Watch stock go up, sell before the whole thing is clarified.

Woah, in that case I might have to watch this all over again.
Maybe because it's been around for a couple of years?
It should be `assert!(len(arr) >= 255)` (greater instead of less than), right?
> The dialogue was way more in the middle. [] The whole thing felt pretty civilized.

> It made me realize how much content these twitter blue checks are creating.

Ironically, content that includes yelling at the unwashed masses for making twitter toxic. Bastards.
I guess it depends on your goal:

If you want to reach a large audience, you need a platform with a large audience. If you want to just publish something for the sake of archiving it, you don't need a large platform.

It's a bit of a tautology.

Shane wants to be a creator, so he needs to play in that competitive space. Which I guess is part of what being a self-sustaining creator is all about.

I have no evidence to back this up, but it seems to me that trying to make a living as a creator is akin to become a rockstar: far less likely than just putting the effort in to get a job in engineering.

EDIT: After scanning his blog, he has tens of thousands of dollars of equipment, or more. (Yes, I am jealous, but that is besides the point.) Perhaps money isn't a problem for him, but I don't know if this is BECAUSE he is a successful maker/creater, or in spite of it. Some catch-22 there.
That is an argument for federalism, not vote tally inequality.
No, I learned of it the same time you did, although I had a fairly good idea about when this was coming for a few years ;) And while I have a bit of additional information now, it's nothing that would really be useful for porting.
> Shouldn't then Ireland pay it (or act as if it was paid, and paid whatever it would have paid from it to the EU budget).

The EU is not getting paid anything. The EU said that Apple should have paid Ireland more.

It's like the EU saying to Germany "we thing that you are giving an unfair tax advantage to BMW compared to Renault: you need to collect more taxes from them".
I work within a financial institution (CU) and I can say they have no wish to actually evict/foreclose/etc. After the 2008 crash they bumped their reserve % 3-5 points higher than required to insulate from the next recession (here today). But for mortgages, internal notices appear to suggest it's better for the CU if they keep people in their homes and have the same level of payments resume in a few months vs auction the house. Maybe the math only works out for a few months, I'm not in the loop on those conversations. They are very community focused and not driven by profit so that helps me trust the internal news.

As someone wanting a home in a high CoL area, I would love a 10-20% off rush from thousands of houses going to auction or sale but it wold be devastating locally. We simply are not equipped, as a nation, to address the fallout from this years events. Especially not with current (lack of) leadership and circling of wagons.
If you have a problem you can fix, fix it. If you have a problem you cannot fix, accept it. Either way complaining gets you nowhere.

Building consistent daily habits takes a while, but after a year you will marvel at your progress.

The medium is the message. Social media [probably] cannot be built in a way that promotes "healthy" discourse.

Not all things can be understood in a scientific context. That does not make them any less real.
I doubt Apple or Bill Gates have very many incriminating Twitter DMs. Kanye is a non-factor, nobody serious cares what a, respectfully, manic-depressive is DMing about.

Elon Musk might have some suspect DMs, but honestly I think his crazy Twitter behavior is priced into TSLA already.
Yeah, with so much trading volume, it doesn't seem hard to blend in with the crowd. Whenever there's a big Musk tweet, there's already tons of news-based traders that immediately react and earn huge profits.

You could set up a plausible history ahead of time by doing innocent TSLA trades. Maybe establish a pattern of regularly scheduled trades. And then it just so happens that the fake tweet comes out right around when your scheduled trade was going to execute.
That platform is not even out yet. Outside of Apple's stuff, I doubt any ecosystem supports it.

Some probably won't support it years after it's available for actual commercial products...
> When Akamai can offer you a better deal than this, you have to wonder how good a deal this is. :-)

If you were doing the volume of traffic necessary to get the Akamai discount in the range you are suggesting then you are also going to be able to negotiate Amazon pricing in a similar way. It is unfair to compare theoretical bulk CDN pricing to non-discounted Amazon pricing. It would be like negatively comparing the published price of some other CDN to your private knowledge of deals you did with Akamai that probably included contractual commitments.

If you go by published CDN pricing (I use Fastly as an example in another post below) and assume you are pushing close to the maximum bitrate then the comparison is actually reasonably fair. Anything outside of that is speculation based on theoretical deals you might negotiate based on theoretical usages.

However, I would have no problem agreeing that building your own system to handle large scale would probably get to a lower $/GB. But then you have to build it, maintain it, monitor it, etc.
Money can be goal but not the prime goal. Prime goal must be their interests.
That's severely miscalculating the number of traders (around 10 million individuals, often with multiple accounts and multiple strategies, and not counting institutions). What I'm saying is that hiding in plain sight might be very easy - just join the crowd for a week and you'll look like many beginners that have scored surprisingly.
Fish in a Barrel NSA Inspired Memory Unsafety Posters
Yea, but it's been shown that well placed posts on wallstreetbets can cause trading activity. A post like "some of you guys are cool. Don't hold any tesla puts on Wednesday" might be enough to generate a bunch of trades you can hide under.
Yes, absolutely. I mean, if you put in years of preparation and are an active trader with a big portfolio, 500k$ is probably getting through the net. But if you're a newer trader, not much invested or not many positions? You're sure as hell getting some questions.

I mean, yeah, there might be a ten or hundred people who match this criteria, but market manipulation is a very serious crime and when people lost many millions, the SEC is going to pour a lot of resources into checking everyone.

EDIT: This is also assuming the hacker is American. I bet you a lot that this matches very few people in, for example, India.
You have total control of 15 Twitter accounts of your choosing for 90 minutes. What do you do?

This Twitter hack could have changed history, could have made some group of insiders fabulously wealthy, could have started a war, etc. Yet they "waste" it on an obvious scam.

My competing hypotheses:

- The hacker got way in over his head and panicked (the wasted opportunity branch)

- The hacker siphoned the DMs from the hacked accounts (and others that did not tweet out the scam), and this is just the beginning

- There are larger forces at work, and this was a demo for a larger client and is part of a longer play
Wouldn't it be great if we lived under a utopia where artisans can craft code like the statue of David?

Too bad we live under capitalism and the supremacy of the minimum viable product. I laugh at my CompE graduates who think they're going to use any of their degree. The clients don't give a fuck, they will never see the code ever, they want quick and cheap.
The concept of UBI is harmed by treating it as an unemployment benefit.
UBI is most effective when it helps people pursue /better/ jobs.
Wondering if America government has the power to forbid foreign companies or countries from using open source software such as Go, Rust, React, Kubernetes, Docker, Ubuntu etc especially those with strong stewardship by US corporations.
> But I don’t think scientists think that previous common cold exposure actually makes you immune?

That's the subject of the paper being discussed, it's worth going back and looking at it. The researchers demonstrated T-cell reactivity against it not just in blood from people who had SARS-Cov-1/2 but those who had neither. So something else is going on -- maybe one of the common cold coronaviruses, maybe some other infective but not dangerous coronavirus, maybe something else.

> I‘m also not sure why you think that even neighboring and very similar countries are so wildly different based on wildly different levels of pre-existing immunity. That doesn’t seem very plausible. Why should, say, Germany and Italy be so different? Or Germany and France?

Since we don't even know the source of this pre-existing immunity, much less how it varies between countries, it's impossible to say. But it's clear that there are many differences between what happens in countries that aren't just lockdown timing/severity. Immunity, density, demographics, climate, sheer luck, etc.
YouTube recommendations is one of those filter bubbles which I've learned to use heavily to my advantage.

I consume a lot of video content and I've learned to curate my watch history (what to watch/search for in incognito versus watch logged in; what to delete from my history etc) so that my youtube homepage actually consistently has a lot of high quality discovery.

One thing I systematically do is avoid videos that are anywhere between 10m00s and 10m20s in length: those are almost always videos that have been arbitrarily lengthened to meet some ad length milestones. I've even seen videos slowed down by some percentage just to fucking get to 10 mins.

Also apparently youtube's changing the milestone to 8 minutes soon, so I'm going to watch out for those too…
Nope, just a third-party developer who until June knew of "aarch64-darwin-xnu" as "iOS" ;)
You don't need perfect timing, and there will generally be a lot of traders who think "lol this is insane, I'll just cash out".
Yep! Dumb example.

main()
x = get_from_some_external_data_source()
if x:
print("Hello World")
trigger_ub()

You might expect this code to always print if x is true but the optimizer can look at this and say "welp, if x is true then it would trigger ub, therefore it must be false, and since x must always be false we can just remove that entire branch."
Hey guys, so articles like this are no better than long winded hackernews comments. Which we all debate the semantics of and unceremoniously decide are wrong. So lets treat this article that way:

You absolutely could make money in the stock market instead and it has happened before buy trading the indices. The "problems" with individual companies don't exist when trading indices like the SPX or VIX.

This has already happened before, Associated Press' hacked twitter account sent out something alarming sending the indices in a brief frenzy. Like long enough for trading to react before correcting.
Have you SEEN ElectroBoom and his monobrow?

:)

I'm looking forward to the day when I can walk, unplucked, down the US streets and not get funny looks due to remnants of my middle-eastern heritage!

LONG LIVE THE BROW!
Sounds expensive, like they need to make up for the lost revenue in cancer "treatment" since "non-essential" visits were frowned upon for so long out of worry that we might run out of capacity.
Well, don't ever assume lack of sloppiness. ;) But to the large question: markets are built on trust, and the SEC has the job of ensuring the trust bedrock of the US markets via enforcement. A high-profile move like the one we're describing here, manipulating the US markets so brazenly, is worth spending more money than exchanged hands in the fraud to find the perpetrators, just so they can put heads on pikes and make everyone feel better that the system works (because the net loss of value if market trust breaks down is much, much higher).
No, it doesn't make sense that people should have greater voting power based on their location in the same polity.

Your argument is equally valid in reverse -- there's no reason why rural dwellers should decide what happens in cities. Why should your vote count for more because I have more neighbors than you do?
You're welcome! And I'm sorry you're downvoted, I think that's a little overly harsh. Had I not known, that would have been helpful.
I am sure you realise that it's not incompatible, right?
For some reason Linux distros mostly default to not sending anything over the serial port, even when they can't find a video device.

To get everything you need to have GRUB, the kernel, and inittab configured to use the serial port.

Once you've done that it all works, but yeah annoying.
I am just surprised that these tweets actually worked.

It would have made total sense if the hijacked accounts suggested doubling others' donations to certain charities, as we have seen played out in the beginning of June. In fact, the first time I saw those tweets, with their "giving back" theme, I misread them as meaning exactly that, doubling donations to charities. But instead they were proposing to immediately send the money back, doubled. Asking people for money first is hardly a believable "giving back" offer; it should have raised so many eyebrows and red flags. Especially coming from Biden's account — I might almost believe it coming from Elon, but for Biden that would be completely out of character; he wouldn't have the imagination.
Indeed it is very divorced from reality.

It just requires having capital already and trading the indices.
> Fully human being is very hard to explain. According to my knowledge of Huxley is that it's someone who has essentially reached an ego state that has certain values(life, beauty, suffering). All is each which is all.

Defining fully human as being in the nihilistic ego-destroyed state where differentiation between the Self and all existence is nullified is another fictional ideal. Huxley himself borrowed from eastern philosophy of Vedanta, of which Huxley was a student.

It's a deeply interesting path of thought to go down as an individual, but it shouldn't be mistaken as a prescription for how to be fully human in society a practical way, or a principle around which to configure society.
You'd only have to look at the traders with enormous short positions on specific stocks, though.

It's likely you could continue to narrow things down via KYC data; location, past trading history, etc.
Also, what is the appropriate threshold where we call it mental illness. The article, Jenna's boyfriend cheated. She's seriously depressed. That ain't illness, it's normal. That doctor is a quack.

I feel part of the problem is the expectation that humans are supposed to be happy. Happy is just a state of mind, not necessarily our default state. Depression and mental pain have their uses. They alert us, something is wrong - make a change! Working through pain, not self-medicating, strengthens you. Even if you 'don't know what's wrong', the unconscious WILL act out on, repressed childhood trauma, for instance.

We're destined to suffer, if for no other reason the horrific reality that we will all be annihilated one day. Everything beautiful in the world will be taken from us. Our existence will end. So happiness is not our default state, or even where we SHOULD get to. Why would it be?

There are certainly people who need intervention before they suicide, and people with real chemical imbalances (for people prescribed meds - -is this EVER proven scientifically? EEG? blood test?), but we conflate those people with others who are just very rightfully sad about the circumstances in their lives. Often these people (alcohol, food, drugs, phone) instead of making the difficult changes.
Program verification. How to design and implement correct programs.
No need to yell, it’s a relevant point to make since we’re talking about ARM.

Not sure also what you mean by giving it a rest, this is the first time I’ve made a comment on this point.

Update: thanks for editing your comment to be less offensive.
that's a perfectly valid answer, but it raises the additional question of why actual cheap haircut shops use scissors and fingers instead of a flowbee-style piece of equipment, too. :-)
They also don't even need incriminating DMs, they can release fake DMs and use the BTC address to prove "authenticity" to the media. Released at the right time that could be quiet valuable to certain people.
The Chinese need more reasons to invade Taiwan right :-/

Can someone please bring up and discuss with world leaders that we are potentially heading toward terrifying conflicts. I'm very concerned about nuclear war over things like this.

I liked the world much better when we did our best to level the playing field (not always successfully) but which caused huge growth and prosperity for maybe billions of people.

We need a world forum on how we can move back to everyone playing by the rules - a new Bretton woods for our time that tries to prevent this technology arms race the Western governments and Chinese government want to fight with each other.

My GF has yet to get hers or her tax return. The stimulus check went to an address from 2 years ago and she would be on hold for hours just trying to get her address updated and stopped calling. There's maybe $3k just sitting out there but the Treasury can't get it to her. This is why I vote blue, we need to adequately fund our government systems or face issues like this.
