When Labyrinthe/Horror Tour 3 leaked, the collector went absolutely apeshit and stopped giving anyone access to anything. And that was a ROM collector downstream of the collector with exclusive physical copies. It was someone who wasn't supposed to have those dumps and probably burned a lot of (if not all of) their connections. https://kotaku.com/collection-of-rare-japanese-games-leaks-o...

Keep in mind that a lot of the rare stuff ends up helping contribute to emulator development/accuracy.

The importance of devkits (and these are still hotly collected) only goes so far as decapping ICs is hard work. A finished game might show you new valid opcodes or undocumented system call you weren't aware of.

Keep in mind that the way collecting works in Japan is more about archiving and a rare few people get things into their collection because they are trusted. They're trusted to preserve it, but also entrusted not to make it available to everyone who wants to download it for free. Creators revisit prior works (or make available for resale) far more frequently than we tend to here.
This is probably good advice but that is exactly what is wrong with this. There's a negative gain to questioning if the person indeed even did something wrong or opening it to debate. There's positive gain for those piling on to the outrage as they are seen to be of good virtue.

How is using an in-memory database related to OOP? They seem completely orthogonal to me.
Stories are incredibly valuable to humans, on the same level as survival.

People see themselves continuously as playing a role in a story than spans millenia. That's what "identity" is really about, and it underlies war, crime, achievement, religion, raising of families, etc.

Historians could be the leaders here, but for whatever reason they are not. Historians haven't put themselves in a position where they could guide human stories for society overall.

So do they have potential value? Yes. But either they aren't able to provide it, or we aren't able to accept it.

Instead we have media narratives, which are a sad substitute.

That's definitely much lower than I remember it being back when I looked. (Which doesn't necessarily mean that it is lower—it's not something I took special note of.) Still, for me, not something I think it worth my time & money to do, but not nearly as much of a pinch as I was thinking for someone that does actually like that sort of thing.
I was disappointed that this isn't a complete working project, but I have to say the documentation is well-written and informative. This seems like a great learning project.
This very platform is founded on interesting discussion.
To be fair, the problem is less about the platform or the medium and the simple concept of optimizing for engagement. Regulate advertising to the point where it's less profitable than letting customers pay for services and suddenly the incentives to promote toxicity for engagement's sake disappears.
You missed the point. While the entire thread talk about how people can easily accuse others on the internet without evidence, someone posts a link containing accusations and we're supposed to automatically assume it's true.

But hey, now some guy on hacker news says his friend witnessed it...
I think it's "trollish" on purpose. They make a few good points, but do it in a mocking and humorous but borderline serious kind of way.
You’ll be happy to learn that the CARD act of 2009 limited credit card companies’ marketing activities on college campuses.
The "all lives" vs "black lives" thing was just signaling. I don't think it really needed any redefinition, it was pretty obvious the intent of both sides.
That's not a very clever argument. Animals also routinely rape each other, fight and sometimes kill rivals, engage in cannibalism, etc.; that doesn't excuse humans committing murder and sexual assault anymore than natural predation excuses factory farming.

I mean sure it's perfectly natural, sure, whatever, it's also perfectly natural if the rest of us decide to ostracize and/or throw you in jail for it.
I keep mine startup fairly clean and this is key to a 'fast startup'. There are about 10 different ways applications can auto start in windows and you have too check them all, as all will be used. My laptop from 2012 is 10-30 seconds. My laptop from last year is usually under 10. My NUC from 2011 is about 30 seconds and has been consistently that for the time I have owned it. Also on older computers check to see if it is thermal throttling. As the fans/paste can stop being effective and just need to be cleaned up after some time.

My parents bought this rubish computer about 3 years ago it is easily 3-5 mins to startup. Which is due to a lack of RAM (3GB, which should be plenty) and windows swapping to startup. Plus a bunch of startup apps they 'just can not live without'. I remove them, and get 'wow the computer is so much faster'. Few months later and some update to that 'must have' app will put itself back into the startup (sigh).
I've yet to get a satisfying answer to why it matters - life is suffering. Is there any organism that can survive without the expense of something else?

construction kills animals, eating animals kills animals, using computers promotes industry which kills animals. what activity can a human participate in that doesn't kill animals?

of course, one can say fewer animals could be killed by doing [other things], but that's besides the point. I'm not sure you can win, nature will always find an equilibrium that will result in the same amount of death - you save the goats and they'll ruin the land and eventually all die. you kill the predators and overpopulation of the prey will run rampant resulting in eventual famine, etc.

and of course, if you're lucky things are in a stable state until something evolves and figures out efficient ways to wipe everything out - I suppose that's where we come in.
This has been precisely my experience. Windows 7 was fast on an HDD and blazing fast on a SSD. Windows 10 is unusable on an HDD and usable on an SSD. Still kinda sluggish, even then, for what it's worth.

Not to mention the applications. A slow operating system that uses so much resources merely idling plus Applications-That-Are-Actually-Web-Browsers make day to day usage almost innavigable for someone with quick reflexes used to a Linux CLI.
Noah, why are you even replying to this guy? He is obviously a troll, and you won't be able to "explain" anything to him.

Personally, I enjoy ignoring his types in online debates. Bait them, and ignore them - priceless.
I personally dont have twitter, insta, FB except for dummy work accounts, but I will say this. If a company or person takes Twitter half seriously, thats a red flag. What a person does outside of work should not even be considered until and unless there are legal ramfications.

The are a lot of scary things about cancel culture, one being that it is remarkably like of witch hunts or the purges of the middle ages. More closer to home, the most vile of facist regimes would be licking their lips in approval of how a mere toy, a trinket, can be used to such great effect with little no due process. The reason why the law exists and why it is essential in protecting the rights of indviduals and the whole idea of democracy probably doesnt register, at least in an academic sense, with our twitter warriors. But I cant blame them. They're child-like. We are unfortunately a generation that refuses to grow up and caught in some weird disney loop, pseudo-adult, stage still waiting for the day we actually get to be adults.

My gripe is with the people who have to make decisions and take it upon themselves to include schoolyard gossip as part of their process.

It's beyond reckoning at this point.
> I think Twitter and News Companies who repeat libelous and defamatory tweets about people should be liable.

Actually, given how defamation works in the US, even without Section 230, it's very hard to see how they'd be liable.

In the US, if the defamation is towards a public figure (which it is for every case you'll hear about), then it's not enough that the statement be demonstrably false, but it also has to be made with "actual malice." That means you need to demonstrate that the speaker either knew it was false or acted with reckless disregard as to its veracity.

Since Twitter basically publishes everything its users do, there's no way it can form sufficient mens rea to defame anybody merely by publishing a tweet.

Oh, and loosening up defamation law in the US would run afoul of this pesky thing called the First Amendment.
He was cancelled because he wrote a public apology on Twitter and that's how people found out about him. Twitter is completely to blame here - maybe along with being so naive to think that writing an apology on Twitter is a good idea.
Where are you getting "multiple years connecting dots to ruin their life" from? I interpreted it as someone in an adjacent part of the same profession ("commercial art for nerd things") being not-really-surprised to find out a disliked person did something terrible.

(Has that never happened to you? Never found out that somebody you knew or worked with did something terrible and went 'huh, yeah that checks out'?)
Aha, thank you for your service.
> Most people in the US can't afford or even get enough bandwidth to support two simultaneous video conferences

?!?! How much bandwidth do you think it takes???

Zoom requirements: For group video calling: For 1080p HD video: 3.8Mbps/3.0Mbps (up/down)

(Of course, most people probably don't even have 1080p webcams...)
What changed is that the bulk of human communication now is happening on the Internet. And the Internet itself is concentrated in the hands of few companies. And there is an increasing sophistication of actors who play the system.

This means that political and societal activism is now manipulable at scales that were inconceivable some time ago.

So the human factor has always been there (and arguably helped us when the memes were like "kill the sabertooth tiger!"). But the problem is growing because of technology, which is another thing that cannot lightheartedly be slowed down.

So the least we can do is to be aware and minimize the damage
For young people without options the military isn't a horrible choice. Especially as we wind down the mid-East war. For young people with options a History PhD is a horrible choice and if you have the brainpower to be in the cognitive elite you should be able to figure that out pretty easily.
I think the point in this case is pretty simple. A company can't employ this guy and also credibly claim to be concerned about creating a safe environment for women at conferences and other events. There's nothing 'exaggerated' about that.

Sometimes actions have long-lasting consequences. Apologies can't magically wash those away.
I often see pp keep people poor and stuck. Its interesting they hate where they are in life but refuse to do anything different because perceived risk, and that its better to do nothing.

you should save money
poor: it doesn't grow fast enough, inflation risk

you should invest
poor: don't want to loose money, risk

you should go to school
poor: what if I end stuck with student loan debt, cant find a job, what will the world look like in 4 years?

there is not a lot of opportunity in your area, you should move
poor: I wont know the place or anyone there, how will I <insert what ever>

poor: home prices are so high, I can't afford
Disagree. People sharing political memes wouldn't be out organizing unions if not for the memes.

It's a zero-sum tradeoffs with other online activities, maybe, but definitely not with outdoors political action.
The bulk of pushback against bad ideas, especially sinister ones that come with societal blowback, occurs in the form of ignoring them.

It's whats happening right now with CRT. You can't speak out against it, without risking reputation or livelihood so you hope to just ignore it until it goes away.
Confused. Filling a jar with beans and water, and dumping/refilling every so often is "a huge amount of labour"? Compared to what? Sitting and watching TV?

This is a tiny, tiny effort compared to almost anything - running, riding a bike, vacuuming the carpet. Heck its about the same as ordering takeout delivered and going to the door to get it.
I built a Windows PC after 3 years of using my 15 inch 2018 MBP (which is by far the worst machine I have owned considering the price).

Windows has gone to shit, I have visual glitches in the UI using dark mode (even the search box on bottom left doesn't render correctly in dark mode until I hover it). They preinstall some shitty "news" bar right there on the task bar and hide disabling it behind a submenu of a right click on taskbar. Start menu search goes online by default and misdirects me because of it (I disabled it quickly).

Using a 5k monitor and display scaling is very iffy as well compared to MacOS.

I'm waiting on next get M1 and then I'm using the Windows box as a docker server I'll SSH into and maybe play some games. But using it as a daily driver is really underwhelming. I would use Linux desktop but from what I've heard HDPI scaling is even worse.
It works pretty similar to cjdns, but implementation is not as crashy in my experience, also some transport protocol differences (ygg uses tcp while cjdns does udp), also DHT routing instead of cjdns supernode stuff.

So while usability is pretty similar, they're pretty different underneath.
Just because there isn't a top-down solution that eradicates the source of the issue doesn't mean it shouldn't be observed and discussed. You pointed out that you can't "beef" with the gravitational constant, but if you are aware of it you can avoid its negative affects and potentially use them to your advantage. Gravity will collapse a building, but if you are aware of it you can engineer a building so it doesn't collapse.

"Gravity, at least, will keep grinding until the universe is compressed into a single point. To eliminate gravity completely it would require constant destruction, compression, agitation, and elimination of all physical laws. Instead, just plug your ears and scream "LALALALA" a pretend gravity doesn't exist because you will stick to the surface of the planet regardless."
Yes, people misuse the terminology to make it sound more negative than it is
Bad article.

Probably worth highlighting that I could not find a single direct reference to Neel Kashkar (the person who apparently said that, actually saying that it's a Ponzi scheme.

He used "dumpster fire" in past, which is quite different.

He knows that it's not a Ponzi scheme, because there is no fraud. It's like the dollae, stocks, interest, money printing and some VC investments, etc. which aren't usually Ponzi scheme either because it's not illegal.

What I do with lentils is just leave them with water during one night, not too much water so they "drink" it all. Once they sprout I cook them in a pan with a little of extra virgin olive oil. Finally I add salt and the result is a very crunchy and healthy snack that everybody likes. Sprouts with Mediterranean touch
Precisely. Depends on what you're trying to achieve.

If you want to actually make lasting, positive changes to the world? Absolutely worthless.

If you want to self-promote for the sake of e-fame, real fame, money, power etc, smash hit.

Guess which one most Twitter activists are actually interested in.

What we currently do --- hashing inputs --- is the same ccache way. We just don't yet sandbox with the granularity yet.

What we want to id hash outputs. Say I replace 1 + 2 with 0 + 3. That will cause ccache to rebuild. We don't want downstream stuff to also be rebuilt. C-linking withing a package is nice in parallelizable, but in the general case there is more dependency chains and now that sort of thing starts to matter.

For how pre-industrial farmers worked, look to the Old Order Amish. They are not isolated family units, the community is the bedrock. The oldest settlements found suggest group cooperation was essential in the development of hominids.
I'm the same, but I think that's... Fine? If I understand what I want to do in terms of first principles, there's no harm in searching for the exact incantation if I do that only once every few months.

For the rest, there's shell autocomplete and muscle memory.
From the perspective of the whole industry there's no such thing as "hire better developers" - if one company does that, then all it means that the "better developer" moves from company A to company B, and an "average developer" moves from company B to company A. It's an almost-zero-sum game - it's an appropriate mechanism to assign better(more expensive) developers to more important jobs and average or weaker developers to less important jobs, but it doesn't influence (in the short term) the total quantity of "better developers" available, that's achieved only by education and training (and immigration, and overseas outsourcing). "Hazard pay" means that you attract a developer to work on your boring software, but they quit working on someone else's boring software. It's not satisfactory to answer questions of "how should developers work" and "how should developers be managed" just with respect to top developers working in top places, they need to be answered with respect to median developers working on median tasks.

Your answer, including "The real answer of course is to pay more to hire better developers" and "software is too complex to be created by non-experts" is essentially saying that only a portion of the current developers should be writing code at all. Okay, so let's assume all the companies hire only "better developers" and everyone else gets pushed out of the industry - but there's not enough developers as is, so what do we do with half as many developers? Writing half as much software is not really an option.
Alternatively, Kashkari's comments could be given more weight if he were willing to short Doge over a long-ish (~2 year) timeframe. Then he would stand to lose money if Doge held its value for longer than that timeframe (which would indicate that it has more value than he's stating that it has).
bingo - this; add to that higher stakes conversations, like political grouping, and you have started down the path of why anonymity is irreplaceable in public discourse.
> Lives are consistently destroyed and everyone just shrugs their shoulders and goes "aw-shucks."

There is such an asymmetry between how it feels to get piled on and watching someone else piled on.

If I was watching a stranger get their teeth pulled I can almost physically feel the pain. Watching someone harassed online is more like, "the internet sure can be mean" and then I move on.

My hunch here is this illustrates how our social systems aren't designed for a world the size of the internet.
So when you were asking for an expert with no skin in the game, that was more wishful thinking than anything about what's going on in the story.

That's all good. I was unsure about where you thought the line was as it gives context to that statement.
> Vengefulness isn't likely to be a motive in itself.

I know - I’m saying it should be. Vengeance is a critical social regulator in human societies, but it has been damped to the point of total dysfunction.

The biological instinct for vengeance solves a social coordination problem - namely, the stability of altruistic punishment, where you make a sacrifice (such as spending resources fighting someone who wronged you rather than capitulating and moving on) to protect other people.

Modern liberal capitalism has done too good a job of suppressing higher-order social optimization instincts like vengeance, while leaving first-order selfish optimization instincts like profit-seeking in place. I don’t think this is necessarily an inherent problem in capitalism, but the current implementation won’t let you do things like this in most cases. If you go after a patent troll instead of settling, your shareholders will sue you.
We talk about cancel culture like it’s a new horrible thing that’s developed only recently but I don’t see it that way. The internet definitely amplifies the effects, but unkindness begets unkindness, and the consequences or the social cost of one’s unkindness will always catch up to an individual at some point.

That said, I draw a line at defamation. When someone is accusing someone online of having committed a crime, I think that the proper reaction would be to stay quiet and let it play out in a court, if it ever gets there. I also don’t think that companies should be allowed to fire employees based on accusations that have not yet been proven to be true, though, of course, it is justifiable once they are proven.
It's an interesting book, who cares? Knowledge can be used for good or bad purposes. There's nothing implicitly wrong with "power".

There's nothing even wrong with reading any book. Just because you read "mein kaumpf" doesn't mean you agree with Hitler, it might just mean you're curious how the most evil man in history became that way.

(I've read that 48 laws book btw. It's "amoral" -- none of the advice is suggested be either good or bad, but simply effective)
