Everything on reddit is archived roughly as soon as it's posted. Any manipulation can therefore be spotted just by looking at an archive.
I find this counterintuitive to my own lived experience of being in San Francisco as a programmer. Although my partner and I often talk about relocating, the comforts of San Francisco so far outweigh the disadvantages. Specifically, access to neighbors with children near our childrens age, 3 playgrounds in walking distance, dining, organic food, antiracist political sentiments, activities and easy access to mountains and beaches. Our alternatives in the Midwest, NY, or central valley would be far less convenient, despite the lower cost of living and homelessness, crime, and feces.

Perhaps my perspective as a parent and a programmer is not what this article is talking about, but I feel very committed to San Francisco and plan to raise my family here in the public school system and without relying heavily on cars.

I was thinking of switching away from Chrome as well. Was there something about Vivaldi that made you use it instead of Brave?

I don't know much about either one of them except that Brave is (fully?) open source while Vivaldi is not.
Are they still "Silicon Valley firms" when the employees are spread out around the country, and world, or can we finally retire this tedious, self-perpetuating myth of the elite workers of the golden coasts of California and New York, doing incredible and smart things the rest of the world can scarcely understand?

Good riddance to the Valley. Maybe having everyone go home will create an actual diversity of opinions, not the myopic progressive echo chambers that give rise to one Facebook after another - keep up the stock value, society be damned, but make sure no one gets offended in the process.
What was the propulsion system? Are these traditional quadrocopters, or something else?
IMHO means "in my humble opinion". The reason I hold that opinion is that when someone is using their power surreptitiously, they generally don't call attention to it.

More subjectively, none of us can know for certain, but this line of reasoning just isn't supported by an honest reading of the thread in question. The Reddit leadership was in between a rock ("this sub is full of white supremacists and if you don't ban them you're racist!") and a hard place ("we're being persecuted for being conservative and white and if you ban us you're racist!"). Spez isn't perfect, but he seemed to be at least trying to engage honestly and field questions about what he had done and why. After many hours of arguing with people (and, it goes without saying, taking a fair amount of insults and abuse) he did this thing where he edited some posts in a way that seemed pretty clearly to be an attempt to blow off steam.

Now, was that wise? Clearly not, and I'm not defending it. But neither is it defensible to selectively pluck the fact that he edited some posts out of its context and use it to push the idea that Reddit leadership is in the habit of editing peoples' posts surreptitiously to push a viewpoint. AFAIK that's never happened, and I feel like Reddit is under enough of a microscope that we'd know if it had.
Then they should have done some research about the neighborhood they were moving into.

Funny that.
Scale isn't the right thing to complain about here. Compare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_dwarf :

> most brown dwarfs are slightly smaller than Jupiter (15–20%)

> Brown dwarfs are all roughly the same radius as Jupiter.

The suggestion that Jupiter is "orders of magnitude too small" to be a brown dwarf is obviously wrong in terms of size, but it's also wrong in terms of mass:

> at the low end of the range (10 [Jupiter masses]), their volume is governed primarily by Coulomb pressure
Node.js adds several orders of magnitude more packages as well. That doesn't mean much, other than that a lot of disputable quality packages are added, introducing needless entropy and dependency hell. I compiled a simple Rust program (pueue) a few weeks ago which pulled ~290 deps, which served as a reminder, although nothing broke compared to node and also no deprecation and security warnings. Golang is no different.
It should eventually trickle down to the various Linux distributions. I'm waiting for Fedora 34, which is just around the corner.

< OpenAI's DoTA 2 system wasn't playing the full game. I think the final version could play 17 of the 117 heroes, and the opposing human players were also restricted to playing this subset of the game.

The bigger issue in my eyes was that while OpenAI 5 defeated the world champion team OG, when they let anyone in the world fight it, some ingenious players figured out a pretty robust method to consistently exploit and defeat the bot. As I haven't heard any buzz about OpenAI 5 since then, I think it was more or less unsuccessful unless they can show that their training method produces unexploitable bots (instead of bots that are really good against certain strategies)

Does he? Nothing stopping him from staying anonymous.
So there are. That's cool.

There seems to be a selfish trend where someone with a legitimate though perhaps unpopular opinion expects to be given more consideration than others. Complains that the game is rigged since their unpopular opinion is not allowed to jump the line and be given immediate attention.

In DC, people tried to overturn the US Congress, which's elected by and representing the American people.

Where in HK, people protested against the HK government which is appointed by the CCP, and the HK legislature where half of the seats are appointed by the CCP and the rest is elected with vetting by the CCP. The HK gov (both exec. + leg. branches) don't represent the HK people, they represent the CCP.

That's the non-ideological distinction. US Congress is authorized by the people. But the HK gov (both exec. + leg. branches) are authorized by the CCP. And unlike US, people in HK have no peaceful way to influence the politics in HK by voting.

I work from the road quite a bit and use a Pepwave Max router which allows you to pop in multiple sims. I have a Verizon prepaid sim as well as Google Fi which gets me Sprint & T-Mobile so I basically pretty much always have coverage. Data cap wise, Google Fi is pretty generous but also relatively cheap to add additional data-only sims if you need to.

As someone who has had to endure over a year of very close to the metal (in this case, imagine centuries old, gnarly, rusty random pot metal, maybe) development on a Renesas platform, I'm tempted to think "fewer Renesas products? Awesome!!" but obviously that would be childish.

I'm sorry for all the people hurt by this, fire is no joke.

Edit: added missing words.
Whoa, does this mean that if I manage to get hold of a sim like this anywhere free has coverage I can effectively bypass local service packages?

I understand that in many countries this kind of roaming still comes with bandwidth caps (ie. slower speeds than if you were using non-roaming sim) but it may still be a better option
Nothing would really happen. We’d keep using 2 year old processors from Intel, and pay more for them. The GPUs, whose price is high because of cryptocurrency, will not be missed. These auto manufacturers could pay a little more for a general purpose CPU instead of ASICs.

Aimee was already a moderator on quite a few subs. I believe the husband (or perhaps the other boyfriend) is also.
Very interesting. How do you think about navigating the misinformation problem? I would imagine that the AI could result in a fair amount of bias in the writing over time.
I think this is kind of pedantic. They built an AI agent to take pixel data as input, and provide mouse movements and clicks as output, and rather than just flail around like a baby it actually played the games with a sophisticated competency. This to me is such an incredible achievement that I have no doubt that it could be enhanced to defeat top players consistently and easily.

As another commenter remarks, there are holes to plug in terms of exploitable behaviours that are locked into the model, but this too I'm confident they will find a general method of preventing; on the other hand, it's not like humans aren't susceptible to similar exploits by competitors in situations where they decide to cease innovation/learning

I mean Thomas J. Watson Sr (turned CTR into IBM) and Thomas J Watson Jr (turned IBM into a computer company), not the dumb software platform that the sad, current IBM is overselling. Perhaps you didn't realize why the program bears that name.

Gerstner was astonishing too. I just thought of him as the "cookie guy" when he showed up. But he saved a company that was spiraling towards the ground...he didn't restore it to its former glory but did bring it back to a successful life. An achievement subsequently squandered.
I'd say lastpass but hoping to switch to Bitwarden soon. also i don't care about cookies, small plugin but really makes the web more bearable.
You can't just ignore the ideological elements of this, because they are at the heart of why people feel differently about these events. If I attack someone because I want to rob them, I'm the bad guy. If I attack someone because they are about to hurt some children, I'm the good guy. The only difference here is the intent of both parties, and you can't simply brush that aside because it isn't "empirical".
As far as I understand, he is currently in jail.

I think bail before conviction is fine if the person is not a flight-risk. (Innocence before being proven guilty, etc.) Far too many stories of people who are denied or unable to post bail (usually people without power or means) and get stuck in jail for months before ever seeing trial.

The fun thing is there's a line through my property. The eagles' territory is west of the line, the hawks' is to the east. Sometimes they fight over the location of that line.

The hawks are half the size of the eagles, but they don't take no ** from the eagles, and it's a fair fight. The hawks usually win the tussle and drive the eagles back over the line. It's like a WW1 aerial dogfight.

And this is in the middle of the Seattle metropolitan area.

Or as if they were on the same tracks but on... different trains?

Glass generates a rhythmic tension that is similar to Reich's loops moving in and out of phase by changing the time signature feel (eg duplets vs. triplets). These are not the same mechanisms but for me both generate a curious shifting feeling where suddenly I'm listening to the "wrong" line. With Glass, I'm now also feeling the "wrong" beat! The effect from Reich's loop asynchrony is more gradual, transformational, just as surprising (perhaps even more so) but they are definitely different animals.

According to national eagle center, "The average eagle needs between ½ and 1 pound of food each day.". So those animals are harvesting 35-70lb of food (other animals) per day. That's incredible to me! There must be so much life in that area.

Industrial sort of lost the war for IDM, and the Industrial Dance Music genre is now called EBM "Electronic Body Music".
There's a large amount of process in place at traditional companies to prevent this kind of tampering. Commonly, it involves separation of powers, with an "Operations" team that runs the software and an "Engineering" team that runs the software. This way, theoretically, nobody who has the knowledge of how to abuse the system would have access to abuse it. Making "unwanted" changes to software would require the consent of two parties at odds - One on Ops, one on Eng.

In practice, it was impossible to debug software if you didn't have knowledge of how it ran and it was impossible for teams to cooperate when designed as antagonistic. "Operations" people needed to know enough programming and SQL to be able to audit engineering access, or they became blind drones parroting the actions that the Engineering team took. A useless layer of signaling that added no substance. And it was easy to align bad actors in Ops and Eng, at least in places where it mattered - Usually with money.

My career in DevOps has been breaking down these barriers, promoting a "shared ownership" model where it's devs are directly oncall and have production credentials to their services. Still, there are serious protections in place: The passwords to the production databases are stored securely, not typically visible to devs - They have to jump through hoops of using a auditable bastion box to run SQL commands directly on the production databases. Not that it's not possible, not that it's not done (Though good engineering practices make it an uncommon task, I think we've actually used the ability half a dozen times in the last year), but as the commands are being typed they send out logs to a third-party service that's instructed to archive them. It's not hard to get access, but it would be easy to see the trail.

That said: This is on a mature team. That doesn't come out of the box and we didn't get there easily. Many teams, even with all of that protection, don't actually audit the logs, and do generate a lot of logs because of poor system behavior.

Knowing the engineering talent at Reddit, I doubt that it's a concern. Whether by malice or naivete, it has likely never crossed their mind that anyone would break protocol and access databases directly for anything other than legitimate debugging purposes. I'm convinced that the SF bay has some of the narrowest focused minds... and also many of the most malicious.
There's correlation, but mistaking that for causation prevents us from being able to identify root problems and actually solve issues. Asians outperform in academics. Blacks outperform in basketball. Whites outperform in hockey. You can just as easily say those correlations are a result of racism as any other race-based statistic, but again, you'd be mistaken.
I also find it strange how some people are so incredibly emotional about this subject like being punched in the face or having their car stolen at gun point.

I like programming as hobby so I choose to program outside of work. By no means is that sentiment meant to suggest any form of hostility. There isn’t even any competition implied.
The Shape of Faces to Come (Facial Recognition and Political Orientation)
Thank you for your support, I really appreciate, I hope many newcomers will find it interesting.
I don't think Bundler/Bundler-like project lockfiles work that way; lockfiles generally need to be static artifacts checked into source control, so that their transitive dependencies can be resolved and the whole tree of dependencies can be inter-constrained. Swapping the dep out for a different one would require you to re-lock everything.

And, even taking one step back and not having a lockfile, and instead using the dependency version-constraints spec file (the Gemfile) — constraint specs are still generally not really dynamic formats. "Runtime", for them, is compile-time; and usually you can't execute code in them, because the runtime needs to load and resolve them before any of your library's code gets to run. If your app depends on the Rails gem, Rails doesn't get any opportunity during dependency-resolution to run code that decides what its transitive dependencies will be.

(One exception to this general rule in package ecosystems, is Python, due to the existence of setup.py files. This exception is why `pipenv install` in a large Python project takes upwards of 15 minutes: nothing can be parallelized — or ever truly locked down to a specific version — because each dependency gets to run arbitrary, not-guaranteed-deterministic code during installation to decide what its own transitive dependencies will be.)

You could probably create some sort of shim library that dynamically downloads your actual library at runtime — first rewriting its transitive deps, and then loading it as a dep through low-level use of the runtime packaging machinery... but at that point it's a lot easier to just actually load the database itself by dynamic reference.
