I think you misinterpreted it. The intent is not to put labels on someone's forehead.

Some of these symptoms are not related to fascism, and are not problematic in themselves. But when you see more of these showing up, you need to be a bit critical and see how fascism has worked in other countries, because you might be in a position to stop its rise. It's more a warning about the need to be careful.

If someone ticks 12 of the 14 boxes, it means that person should be approached cautiously. Same way as someone believing in flat earth and fake moon landings makes them more likely to fall for QAnon.

> To the extent they someone does match the list, all that really does is note that he'd match the characteristics of a few governments in the early 20th century

There were a bunch of far-right and/or nationalists governments in the early 20th Century. It did not really end well and that is not something we should emulate.

Also, this definition does not only apply narrowly to self-professed fascists. It fits Stalinism and Maoism (and Xi-ism, Putinism, and Orbanism, if that is a thing) quite well, too. These regimes are fascist in all but name. I think if you want to swap mentally "fascism" with "totalitarianism", the essay is still instructive.

> This is a bit ironic, no?

No, I think he is right on point. This is how QAnon followers get over cognitive dissonance and how populists harness conflicting conspiracy theories and ideologies to their advantage. Not all syncretism is bad, but syncretism is a very powerful tool in the hands of an oppressor. This is how the Romans bought peace, and how the Church extended its power.

Look at how Trump (a notorious rich liar, divorced philanderer who ostensibly made fortunes in casinos and who never showed an ounce of religious belief) managed to unite Republicans, poor Whites, and Christians fundamentalists. He (said he) offered to everyone something they wanted, regardless of the consistency of it all.
No more or no less than it is influencing people who are pro-Bitcoin, and in fact that bias may give them a clear, less biased view.
In the trailer with the example in the shoe and playing soccer, that's insights a phone couldn't capture. It's got an accelerometer and gyroscope, so it can answer the question of "what do people do when they aren't on their phones"

Maybe it can't differentiate between soccer and ultimate frisbee, but even just recognizing active vs sedentary lifestyle is valuable information for an advertising profile.
I have a HomePod in the kitchen and use Siri for two main things :

1. Hey Siri, add Olive Oil to the grocery list. Super easy. When I’m cooking and running low on something, no need to break my stride and pull out my phone, or clean my hands. It’s immediately into my grocery list and out of my mental inbox.

2. Hey Siri, play some Jazz. Or whatever music. This is nice and easy to get some music on the HomePod for either cooking, working, or dinner background. The only annoyance is that Siri can be super particular at times unlike when searching Apple Music on my phone. Also sometimes my kids hijack my music selection with their own, hehe.
If we are talking about linear in number of characters, an easy answer is building a trie and traversing it left to right. (Cache-friendly variation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burstsort)
the difference is, the motivation for the two kinds of communication are completely different. anonymous govt sources talking to the media want the info to be public. govt officials telling a limited circle of people involved in core infrastructure generally do not want the info to be public. if you are trying to broadcast info to the public, your message is much more suspect, because the likelihood of an intent to deceive is higher. if you wanted the message to get out, there are far easier ways that telling a small circle of private sector people. generally govt isn't going around telling dams, nuclear power plants and drinking water plants about bogus chinese hacking threats on purpose. they can easily be wrong. it's a lot less likely they are lying about something like this.
I'm the author of esbuild. Rest assured that I am very interested in supporting it and am actively working on it. It's just unfortunately very complicated to correctly, especially without affecting any of the other existing features. There are some recent updates at the bottom of this thread: https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/253.
Actually, there are 3 D back ends. There's the original Digital Mars C++ backend for DMD, the Gnu Compiler Collection backend for GDC, and the LLVM compiler backend for LDC.

Each has their strengths and weaknesses, and some users even switch back and forth depending on what they need at the moment.
Interview with founder of Yac on raising Series A for async audio startup
It depends on the visibility of the tattoo artist or production. Friend went on a TV production for tattoos and the artists had a strict policy they would not use any copyrighted image.
True. The teasers are an unfortunate side effect of the primary goal of TV news, which is to sell ad slots. A family member did the weather graphics for a TV station years ago. I've sat on the set and in the control room a couple of times during a live broadcast. Everyone involved is really talented, and it's a shame that talent isn't devoted solely to the long-term benefit of the viewer and society.
> Sometimes the core application has to change to expose things those plugins need

Sure, I'm all for that. I want the extension api to be flexible enough to fully accommodate this type of stuff. I don't want sublime vim bindings as a core feature bundled in with every copy of VSCode, it's not something will ever use.
Legal matters aside this is quite interesting from moral point of view. Sure, 30 years is long and 150k USD is a lot, but where one draws the line?

I imagine that photographer would like to earn money for the photo he took. Probably such photographer only has couple of those shot throughout lifetime and it’s quite obvious he’s trying to make a living out of it. One could criticize greediness and time, but should it be 1$ and 1 day instead?

On the other hand we have tattoo artist that reproduced 1:1 photo to skin. It probably was hard and required a lot of skill and experience. My guess is that artist should have the source material. Should they create all of it? If not should they have permission of the source material?

And there is third side - using sourced work as a marketing material. Would drawing straight rectangle both on client’s arm and showing it on photo of “work in progress” had the same marketing effect as using famous photo? Instagram brings money too and this specific piece of work was used to boost it.

I understand the need and also myself I would like art to be free, but in the end artist (such as photographer or tattoo artist) has to eat, I’m not really sure how one could settle this without a fight though.

Seems impossible to me that an electron app can respond as quickly as native code one.

Ignoring other issues I had, I ditched VSCode and went back to MacVim after probably 3-4 months specifically because of the input lag I experienced when typing. The input lag seemed to be tied to things like plugins looking up information like autocomplete, which, I know is more computationally expensive than simple text rendering but it seemed like VSCode blocked simple text rendering on waiting for autocompletion results.

I did have a number of other issues, but, I enjoyed VSCode enough that I would have stuck with it and tried to resolve. Now, I'm probably too old and too disconnected from code to actually switch.
Name one piece of modern legislation that isn't regarded as "well intentioned" by those passing it.
This analysis is quite the strawman. It's a bit like taking a demo SQL table and basic select queries off an intro to SQL tutorial and claiming SQL sucks because the queries are inefficient and the tables can only store books and author names but not any other kind of data because that's what the example was. There is a lot more to SQL than what gets introduced in the intro to SQL tutorial and there is a lot more to computer vision nets than grabbing the network trained on a benchmark dataset and shoving completely different data at it.
Please don't just jump on the bandwagon. There are existing extensions providing extensive vim mode - if you're not using VS you don't know what's already possible.
>Similarly the only use Siri gets on the kitchen HomePod is for hands-free timers while cooking.

Same here. Just wish it could handle setting multiple timers (yes I realize you can set multiple alarms, but those aren't one-time use).
I received similar skepticism from people for coconut but after a few times of my lips turning purple they started to believe me. I seemed to have aged out of it though as more recent accidental exposures haven't resulted in a reaction.

Choice quote from the article: “The ERCOT grid has collapsed in exactly the same manner as the old Soviet Union,” said Hirs. “It limped along on underinvestment and neglect until it finally broke under predictable circumstances.”
Same, but I've realized my kids aren't me, and most people aren't me. Most young children I encounter are not innately fascinated by computers and itching to get programming ASAP in the way that I was. But they don't seem to be autistic like I was/am either.

I've tried to introduce them to Squeak, robots, and various such things on offer nowadays as gateways for children to get into tech, but the curiosity isn't there just yet. This is fine. They are into other things that I wasn't into at all.. like dancing, sports, or just being kids! :-)
Got it... yes, orientation is a PITA.
I don’t think MySQL has/had full outer join either?
Reaching Godwin's law is a pretty good sign this is over.

Everyone has unreligious beliefs, but my rough definition of religion requires beliefs. You could make a law banning religious beliefs, but enforcement would be a shitshow.

Beliefs can be a negative thing for your life, and they can lead you to things like insurrection. Banning them will not stop this, and will cause additional damage to society.
Not sure about tattoo artists, but Disney has been known to pursue cake decorators / bakeries that uses their IP without a license.
The fastest memory allocator is no-allocation allocation. D has some cool methods for doing that, like the chain template and voldemort types.

For example, chain can be used to "concatenate" two arrays without allocating a byte.

While I believe it is probably production ready, due to how Go is implemented with implicit coroutines/yielding, generated WASM from Go is larger and has many more instructions than a lower-level languages that map more directly to machine code. For most, this tradeoff is likely negligible.
For my use cases, the existing vscodevim extension has been pretty fine.

Macros would be nice but my keyboard supports on the fly macros so it’s not a show stopper.

I wouldn’t mind an implementation of :move but the nice thing about vim is it’s easy enough to work around that being missing in vscode vim.

Essentials like :%s///g work fine, regular motions are fine too in my experience.

While I fall on the side of the tattoo being transformative... I disagree with the sentiment that "a drawing by eye" is especially relevant. To take another medium as an example, if I listen to a song and then release a cover of it by ear, then I believe that would fall afoul of copyright laws. That seems like a pretty direct parallel.
Shameless self plug, but I've had that itch and decided to scratch it with a tool[0] that would be universal and not limited to Go - albeit written in it ;)

In extreme cases, this can become uneasy and then you need a mental model of what is traceable and what GC "roots" to add. If it's not GC-reachable it gets collected.

But in most cases, most people will likely just need custom allocators, or just malloc. You can generate arbitrarily less garbage in D progressively.

Mixed allocation strategies is still nice because whatever is in GC memory doesn't need an owner (it has a global owner). Nowadays, the D GC is really unlikely to be a problem whatever your performance requirements. It isn't a problem for corporate users, as you can see on the parent link. Besides the GC performance increased in the last few years.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Is it the responsibility of a running clock to know the time that the stopped clock displays?

That is, I am not so worried that I'm a fascist that I'm going through the list, making sure that I share no points of intersection. I could have a point in common (syncretistic beliefs, say, or criticism of modernism) as part of a completely benign worldview. The fact that there is one point in common does not render my worldview fascistic or otherwise malignant. (In this, I am disagreeing with Eco, who said "But it is enough that one of them be present to allow fascism to coagulate around it.")

Now, the closer I get to all the points in common, the more concerning it is (and also the less likely I am to honestly do the comparison). But no, I'm not worried about "1/14 fascist"... at least not in myself, because I'm pretty sure my worldview is benign. (On the other hand, everybody thinks that...)

I was keeping it simple as the DM backend cannot compile (say) Rust whereas LLVM (and sort of GCC) has frontends for both so you can make the comparison.

> I mean, who made "photography" an "art" anyway that deserved to have such protections? I mean, come on, all you did was be at the right time at the right place and took a fucking picture, with a camera no less.

If that were the case, everyone would be a great photographer. Being able to envision a shot and then also being able to execute it (prepare for it, shoot it and process it afterwards) is not as simple as "being at the right place and right time".

Why do big businesses seemingly suck at innovation?
Regardless of the author’s political affiliation (and problems which are outside of the scope of the provided discussion topic...), it seems wrong to collect fees from people who have supposedly “served their debt to society.”
Well, I don't know about where you are, but over in the UK the Government isn't doing us any favours on this front.

We've just been through a year of businesses being forced to close whilst their landlords continue to collect rent, and everyone seems to think the latter is just an amusing oversight.

In that sort of environment, it's far more logical for me to just buy hard assets and sit on them; it's been made very clear that we're going to just force that to be the winning side of the trade via legislation.
>there is a lot more to computer vision nets than grabbing the network trained on a benchmark dataset and shoving completely different data at it.

Sure, you are right, but lots of people are wandering about saying different!
Transferring things like roads into private property for no reason at all seems dubious and certainly circumvents the spirit of what I'm going after.

My main concerns are the US becoming a surveillance state (probably first and foremost - not to say we haven't already arrived or are well on our way) and secondarily the way average citizens are allowed to violate each other's privacy. Some can argue that when you are in public you assume zero privacy, but in a world where a local incident that be dealt with at a local level occurs, is recorded, and then goes viral multinationally or where bad actors want to be lazy we start to face issues where this simple understanding of privacy breaks down and has intersections like this one.

BTC is more auditable than most/all assets.

Tesla simply needs to show the auditor their addresses and use the respective private keys to sign a message of the auditor's choosing.

The signed message proves they own those addresses, and the holdings can be easily verified on any block explorer or node.

This process can even be done remotely in a single afternoon, I don't know of any other asset class that is this easy to audit.
Don't worry too much about this tweet, my guess is that the author wanted to express a strong opinion to provoke a reaction form a certain audience.

Once you reach a large scale, relational databases start being a problem for availability and replication of data across different availability zones. Operations become complicated (you have replication chains, master/slave setups, etc.)

If your data is relatively simple and doesn't require a lot of relations and foreign keys, then something like Cassandra can save a lot of headaches.

Btw, a common trick to make a relational database perform at scale by limiting joins is to "flatten data", i.e. replicate data across different tables to avoid joining them.

Finally, don't let yourself be fooled by anyone who claims they know "the better option." There is no better option. There is only a better option for a particular use case you're looking at, given the specific constraints at hands. That's what engineering is about, including software engineering.

If you want to learn more about designing storage systems by constraints, I recommend that you read the 2007 Dynamo paper from Amazon, and in particular section 2.3 "Design Considerations". Below is a link, you can easily find a PDF online if you need.

What evidence is there that they intended to change the government?
I think that they should've included something into the law, that makes it possible for a browser to automatically signify how a user wants their data to be used; for browsers to offer some interface to control these choices, and force websites to automatically accept these choices. I'm hopeful something like that will come around sometime. I think some browser (looking at firefox or brave here) needs to perhaps offer such an interface first, so that legislators could pick it up and make a law that'll make it possible to enforce compliance.
> I think they serve a good purpose once you realise you've stepped out of OOP. You have the idea of a command, or a service, and it does a bunch of procedural things as part of its execution. It only has one public method, so the private methods are a way to describe the steps of the command.

It doesn't have to be a step out of OOP, and their usage is not limited to "Single Public Method Objects". Single use methods are just a convenient and clean way to make complicated code easy to digest, OOP or not.
It's also a possible butterfly effect. Would Bitcoin have taken off without those specific few thousand coins in the economy?

Hi All,

I recently created an open source website[1] having a collection of podcasts about Machine Learning, Data Science, and ML Engineering. The podcast details are updated daily using GitHub actions. The source is available at the GitHub Repo[2]. Adding a new podcast is easy: just add a simple text file with YAML front matter. I want the website to become a go-to place where people find the next Data Science podcast they want to listen to. I have plans to make podcast pages more informative. My objectives of sharing the website are three-fold:

1. Share this resource with people here who might be interested in podcasts.

2. Feedback and suggestions about what more information can be added to make the discovery and selection process for users easier.

3. If people have any additions to the current list, I am happy to add them.

Hope this helps the community. People on r/machinelearning[3] liked it.

There's a big difference between common traditional natural substances and industrialized chemicals though.

My understanding is that our immune system learns through exposure that things like peanuts, pollen, gluten, etc. aren't bad, so lots of exposure to these things and playing in the dirt is healthy for kids.

On the other hand, from my understanding, we don't build up protection to industrial chemicals. They're just poison, plain and simple. The more you accumulate, the more you're likely to die.

Judging by the sentiment in this thread it is definitely not at peak hype.

That's what everybody said when it was $17k and crashed to $5k. I loaded up on it, now its $50k. I bet there were a lot of similar comments saying that it would never be 10x. I also seem to recall a lot of people 10 years ago saying TSLA was overpriced and they would never hit their production goals. Time will tell.
I mean, that was a trend for a long time hah. Even in this thread we’ve got folks talking about the 3k+ Bitcoin they used to have.
