> - WaPo admitted Trump's phone call conversation to an election official was faked (used in the second impeachment)

False:

"""However, Trump has used the correction to claim in a statement that “the original story was a Hoax, right from the very beginning,” which is untrue. The original story that got so much attention was Trump’s call with Raffensperger, for which we had the full and accurate transcript all along. It has not been corrected. Furthermore, it remains the case that Trump did in fact call Watson to insist he won the state and that she should turn up evidence revealing fraud. “The country is counting on it,” he said.

Overall, the Post’s correction changes what we know about the exact words Trump said to Watson, but it doesn’t fundamentally change our understanding of what Trump was saying and doing to Georgia state officials at the time."""
SNMP is at least a real standard, well several real standards, that are sometimes even followed.

The big problem with SNMP is that the MIBs have to be handled out of band. If there was some part of the standard where you could query the device to get its MIB in some standard format it would be so so much better. The daemon could be small because it wouldn't have to ship with hundreds of megabytes of data for devices built over the past 40 years. You wouldn't have to go on a hunt to track down where the vendor hid the MIBs for oddball and obsolete equipment, often times only available with a support contract on a website that was decommissioned years ago.

Alternatively it could have a query type that gives you a description of every field, so when you walk the tree you get all of the data that you would otherwise need the MIB for.
Makes me sad as a polish game-developer, who decided never to work in my country again. I have 15+ years of experience, I've made games for ps2 and original xbox aside PCs, and until i've left the "national" gamedev industry, my salaries were (monthly) along these numbers:
around 2005ish:
3d artist / junior - 600usd
3d artist / mid - 800usd
around 2009ish:
3d artist / team lead: 1100usd
3d artist / senior / team lead 1200usd
around 2012ish:
3d artist / senior / team lead / delegated to maintain and oversee a remote office in other side of the country - 1200usd + rent paid (around 300usd)
2014 decided to leave any employment, and started own company that freelance/outsource work - salary quadrupled (after taxes).
Since then, I had a steady rose in hourly rates, so its not comparable to normal local gamedev salaries at any point.
Its ok to love games and want to make games. Just dont be exploitable idiot, and working on AAA title that sells millions for 1000usd/month, while beign called mid, or lead for 2.5k usd/month for having responsibility of evaluating several other teammates work.

I think you're overplaying brand loyalty. I didn't have loyalty once everyone switched off AOL instant messenger. They'll just likely see it as a utility and switch to the next best thing when it comes along.
Oh and, the way name and public_name works is also not great. Basically you never know what is being importer or used because it ultimately depends not on how the folder is named but on either name or public_name in a dune file. For example in rust you can import what’s in folder a/b by doing a::b but in OCaml you import a.b or a_b it it’s what set as name or public_name.
I've seen this video a few times now, and what's amazing about it is that Jobs freely admits he doesn't even really know what OpenDoc was really all about as he goes on this presentation. It's nicely presented, but frankly I think it was off target. I would be pissed if I was the questioner who initiated it (though the questioner was very rude)

As I see it, OpenDoc's entire purpose was to benefit the user, as it put the focus on the user's intent and document rather than on the applications used to assemble it. The person who would have struggled to see the benefit was the application publishing houses, not the user. So I think this is all a bit disingenuous. There was a clear user benefit to something like OpenDoc, and frankly I think the era where Jobs returns to Apple is in fact the turning point where Apple went from an end-user focused company ("the computer for the rest of us") to a lifestyle/luxury-branding company.

That obviously has given them far better financial success, but has it benefited the world like Jobs liked to pontificate?

Frankly, what it comes down to is this: OpenDoc had no home at Apple, because the return of Jobs was not just a management transplant from NeXT to Apple, but a tech one as well, and Jobs & Tevanian etc. wanted to replace/supplant MacOS with what they had developed at NeXT. Like the Newton and other tech, OpenDoc was something innovated at Apple during the years while he was exiled. So it had to go and be replaced with whatever the NeXTstep/OpenStep world would want instead.

There's an excellent comment on that YouTube video, which I thought was insightful:

This was actually a fairly disastrous response from Steve Jobs that really hurt the company. This was 1997, more than a decade before the iPhone, and the Apple Macintosh (the company's sole product) was in bad shape. The questioner here was referring to the fact that Apple had just pulled the plug on support for OpenDoc, a cross-platform software framework for creating complex documents. Many developers (such as the questioner) had devoted years to the OpenDoc technology and made a livelihood developing applications for it since 1992, and thought Jobs abruptly dropped the technology without good reason. The questioner was asking, dude, why did you pull it? Jobs' response was basically, tough shit, no answer. Developers learned that technologies that were sacred to Apple one year could be dropped the next without cause or warning, so many devs concluded the investment wasn't worth it and abandoned the Macintosh platform in droves. The market share for the Macintosh would drop by more than 50% over the next two years as the (few) remaining developers who were loyal to the Macintosh platform fled to the greener pastures of Windows. People look at this response with rose colored glasses because of what Apple would become many, many years later, but this was actually a very poor way to respond to a legit question (although posed angrily) from the type of developers that Apple really needed to keep happy."
One thing that I haven’t really seen mentioned is that the barrier for entry is high in a lot of video game development. Meaning, I can’t really take 3 of my friends and make the next GTA in my garage. Those type of games need developers, but also artists, writers, actors, etc.

They’re expensive, risky operations of which development is only a part of.

This is probably why it makes the most sense to treat developers as a commodity in the industry. The level at which the consumer interacts with the developer isn’t as high as say, a website.
And then took the training. It’s like the SAS and their first jump - they lost half the group.
> What I am asking is, is it possible for me, who already has a niche audience for my writing, to have those followers support me as a writer? Can I add enough value to that small audience, that they want to pay to subscribe to my work? Would 1,000 people pay $100/year? Or 2,000 people pay $50/year?

That's a completely different concept that a novelist so data from the classic publishing industry are likely useless. You'll have to find out for yourself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know of some niches that certainly are supporting multiple independent authors at that amount per year or more, but they're all unique markets in their own right and I'd hesitate to extrapolate one from the other. In truth, I'd call most of those people analysts who write well and the few who work in fiction have semi-formulaic/restricted niches like writing material for GMs of hardcore D&D groups. Hardly work that allows one to flourish artistically.

tldr: Short answer: no. Long answer: ...is left as an exercise for the reader.

Incidentally, this is a good example to the value superstructure I was talking about.

It allows selecting what behavior belongs to what extent and what doesn't. It tells us we can do better and what that better looks like.

What a lens does is fully reversible if you have phases as well as amplitudes at infinitely high resolution.

Unfortunately, you don't. You have a sensor that captures only amplitudes, on a spatially quantized grid, with some noise. It loses a lot of information. If your lens has very low aberration and not too much distortion, most of that information is information you don't care about. If your lens has a lot of aberration and distortion, a lot of the information you care about is encoded in exactly the stuff that the sensor is losing.

Eh. It depends on if you want to make art or be an artist. Artists make art. People who make art make art. But if you want to be an Artist you cant really do something else full time and do art on the side. Maybe at the start but eventually you have to be an Artist full time. Otherwise the other thing will take over.

To be fair I give people the same advice. Just that the people who want to Artists look at me like I'm insane because nothing I say would stop them from living that life. The people who just want to make some art realize that it's not that bad to get paid well in a career and do art on the side.
There’s a [perhaps apocryphal?] story about Onsager https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lars_Onsager standing up at a conference and saying to someone discussing super conductivity, “No no no you’re off by a factor of two!”

“A factor of 2?”

“Yes, definitely.”

He couldn’t explain the factor two under further questioning. It turns out he was exactly right, there is a factor of 2 that arises from the fact that to superconduct electrons form Cooper pairs. [Aside: Actually, related to Bardeen, since Cooper pairing was first really well explained by the BCS theory!]

Onsager also had some calculational techniques nobody else understood; he could calculate statistical mechanics results in ways that really seemed alien at the time. He was understood to be completely right, years later; his method was similar to Feynman diagrams.

When we were told these stories by my stat mech professor during my PhD, the [tongue-in-cheek] end of the story was “The only reasonable explanation is that Onsager was sent back in time.”
So? It’s not instant for most of the world.
Well getting minimum wage at Wendy's is also a supply and demand issue, but that job isn't sold as "do it for the love of the fast food industry". Ultimately a large chunk of game developers do have the skillset to be able to get better pay and working conditions elsewhere. They like making games, sure, but the tiniest amount of collective action among workers in the industry could ensure that you get to do what you love and get paid for it.

It's interesting you bring this up. Norbert Wiener (coined cybernetics among other accomplishments) was once working on a kind of visual tracking system for the military, where a human in the loop would provide predictions as to where a plane were headed and this would be incorporated as a signal into the tracking system's prediction.

I think ever since then you get a lot of ideas about using men as parts of machines, rather than the more Stalin-esque idea of making a new type of man

You might take a look at this one: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/unemployment-low-trump/

The claim is that Trump got unemployment to a 50 year low. Snopes rules it "Mostly False".

The problem I have with that is that unemployment really was at a 50-year low. Snopes just wanted to deny Trump any credit for it so they throw up a lot of dust and smoke about whether the president deserves credit for it.

Compare that with this one: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/obama-created-more-jobs-tr...

In this case, the claim is that Obama created more jobs than Trump during adjacent 3-year periods. Snopes rules it true, full stop. They don't throw in any caveats about whether the president should get credit.

Whether a sitting president deserves credit for economic conditions is always a debatable point. Politicians will just hold whatever position is convenient for them and partisans will line up on their respective sides. I can't help but notice that Snopes lines up pretty predictably on one side of any political issue.

So, probably, yes.

I have struggled my entire life with these issues. The post you see here isn't something that's new.

Whatever is causing this is inherent to my being.

I've seen doctors, and had both depression and adhd diagnosed. The ADHD meds were amazing. They "solved" this problem. I feel better, I feel happy, I feel more motivated, I feel more natural interest and ability to hold my focus. I feel less foggy and tired.

But, I can't stomach being on stimulants my entire life. I hate that idea.

So yea, the one thing that works, I'm not willing to take. Hard to have much sympathy for me if I'm not even willing to take what is being prescribed.

I keep saying to myself I need to just man up, and take the medicine. I do it for a week, I feel great, and then I start to hate feeling different (even if different, is quite good), and I attribute it to being loaded with amphetamines, and how bad that must be for my body.

So I stop taking them and revert to feeling shitty and looking for a new solution.
Snopes is the one choosing which version of the claim to fact-check, though, so choosing that version to downplay the whole "helped bomb a government building" thing is not very reasonable here, just like the choice of saying that "convicted terrorist" can only mean "convicted of a crime called terrorism that does not exist" instead of the meaning most people would use which is being "convicted of a crime that involved bombing government buildings, which is a central example of 'terrorism'".
Your mind replays previous experiences so that you can learn from them. Shortly after a traumatic experience, you may not understand what you did wrong, but after growing as a human, you may be able to understand it years later. Replaying experiences is more valuable than immediately attempting to internalize lessons.

> For example, when you tell me something is conscious, I expect that I can teach that thing certain things, like how to sing or how to fetch. Since a photon has a wavefunction, by your definition I would expect to be able to teach a photon to do things.

The possible futures for a photon, given the laws of physics, are much simpler than for you or I. Its wavefunction is known. The usual (classical) Maxwell field is the quantum wave function for a single photon.

> Similarly, I expect conscious things to be able to interact with the world and have feelings about it. Do you beleive a photon admires an electron more than a proton, or anything similar?

You are confusing consciousness with reactiveness. Deterministic rules can cause reactions. Your refrigerator for example, reacts to temperature changes. It however, is not exercising free will or any kind of quantum randomness to do so.

> Until you can show any experiments where anything that is known to be described by a wavefunction is shown to have all of the properties we associate with the word 'consciousness' in everyday usage, your assertion that all wavefunctions have a corresponding 'consciousness' doesn't really mean anything. I could just as easily say that all wavefunctions have an associated music, and that music is all there actually is. It's a definition, so it's not wrong, but it's not illuminating.

There is no rule-based construct for random number generation except for PRNG[1]. It follows that, if true randomness is exhibited by the universe, one that is not generated by rules, then it must be the leftover ingredient. Consciousness is the only leftover ingredient. Everything else we know about physics is deterministic and rule-based. Now, you know very well, things like this are likely not able to be proven given the hard consciousness problem and the other proximal issues. So I'm making an argument. Some things in life are arguments, not proofs. Like political views. Get used to it instead of being cliche and resorting to Newton's Flaming Laser Sword.

‘General Magic’ was pretty interesting. It was especially fun to learn about all the influential companies and technology people that emerged from that one company. It definitely re-enforces the idea that sillicon valley isn’t just about a handful of big companies but a community of folks that influence each other.

I've never been unhappy with my older Nikon 50mm lenses, and the Zeiss 50mm lenses are fantastic and have been for years. What I'm really happy with on newer lenses is technology like fresnel lens elements that allow us to have compact and light weight telephotos. I have a Nikon 300mm lens that weighs 1/5th of its predecessor (which I also have) and is 1/3 the length and takes better photos. It was well worth the price tag and I greatly appreciate this sort of technical improvement if it allows me to avoid carrying a tripod for birding.

Requiring a description of the contents would be abusing the warrant to gain access to information the warrant didn't cover. All they should need to claim their property is proof of their identity as the owner of the safe deposit box, including the key to the box. At that point they should be granted access to the box in private so that they can remove their property, just as if they were claiming it from the original custodian. The FBI definitely should not be opening the boxes themselves or attempting to inventory their contents.
