I was thinking about this the other day when I saw a YouTube Warzone stream lament that the game didn't have an anti-cheat system on the end users machine.

I do wonder about the claim that it is undetectable though since a machine will be flawless where as even the best human players make mistakes.
The more we narrow our focus the less meaningful the discussion. Whether Eureka is overpriced is a digression. The parent post to this whole offshoot is implying that comparing a carefully chosen podunk town in California with one of the only two big cities in the entire state of NC shows why people are leaving CA.

Eureka can be overpriced while the overall thesis remains carefully constructed malarkey. NC has grown by 300% in the last century while CA has grown by 900% in the same period. More recently NC has grown at about 1% per year over the last decade. California grew similarly over the same period until 2016 when it started to slow down. Its barely a blip in the graph and needs no complicated explanation.
They mention sending wastewater downstream for desalination, so if this plant is built alongside an existing desalination plant, then the desalination plant can take care of the offshore piping and pumping, removing a lot of the complexity for this lithium extraction plant.
Why would they remove the timeline, mixer, and sequencer?

We didn't need Captain Obvious to let us know of such insights through 10 pages of text. It was very clear if you even worked a single month from home.
What you're thinking of is CHIP-8[1]. PICO-8[2] is similar in spirit, though much more powerful. It's a constrained (in memory, code size, and cpu cycles) lua environment tied to a 128x128 16 color display.

That's true, I completely forgot about PHP. One thing I like about it is that it's included in the language and you don't need an external too like mypy to validate the types.
This seems like a very reasonable comment and I had exactly the same thought, yet I found this comment dead and had to vouch for it. Can any of the downvoters explain why? Or was this somehow automatic?
The title is misleading, this is just one application for linux audio, which I never heard about.

I looked into it the other day but AFAIR it easily breaks down if a site is using Cloudflare to protect itself from abuse, which I imagine could be quite a fair few sides these days.
Ah, but what about the subsections of the subsections? And so, ad infinitum? Eventually you'll need something like the exclusion postulate of Integrated Information Theory
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but it feels like there is a new trend in celebrating this type of articles that does nothing but repeat already-known concepts without references, adds nothing new, and basically just there to pollute search engine results in the hope of self-promotion. If MDN Web Docs are not enough, there are better sources like YDKJS.

$5 of electricity is a near meaningless metric.

It's not completely meaningless, as it gives a sense of the operating costs, and dollars are easily turned into electricity and vice-versa.

> When looking at social media, it’s part public forum that needs some type of discovery/filter mechanism, and part a tool for individual users and community to communicate and collaborate.

> The barrier in current social media networks is largely skewed towards manipulative design that optimizes towards datamining and addictive gamified systems and interfaces.

I think you're spot on. Even at the level of individual we have to do heavy noise filtering to reach at the signals that matter to us. We have heuristics to go towards people that we find useful and stay away from those are mere nuisance. Social media is this one giant noise machine that actively throws bullshit at us, ads are 99.99% noise considering their usability/mental processing cost, ranking algorithms are optimized to make signals that get you stay engaged overly salient in comparison to their natural incidence rates, our self-association is heavily distorted; content of friends that rile us up are showed as often as the friends we like etc.

> Information needs to be discoverable, but people need to be free from propaganda.

I think the only solution to this is breaking away any recommendation engine from the rest of the product and make it available for competition. "Use Facebook with our RecommendSmart, scientifically proven to make you less depressed than the default one". "Me and my friends use Twitter with SocratesSort, has been great at starting deep conversations on topics we care about, totally troll free".
Alternatives works that way, because conflicting binary names are messy to handle, but at the same time it works that way, because that's the behaviour you normally want in your system. You want "a grep" and "an awk" and many others.

Linguistics is an important and fascinating science. I'm all for studying dead and dying languages in all ways possible.

What I'm strongly against is forcing kids to learn an impractical language because old people can't let go of the past and/or want to win political battles.
I'd recommend linking to one of the demos on your landing page. I get that you want to have a singular CTA (create an account), but it seems like there's not enough bait on the hook to get most people to create an account.

If you show people a demo or two, many more of them will consider signing up. Also, some of them might share your website with other people they know who would be interested. After seeing a demo, I'm 100x as likely to share this with professors I know.

Separately, I would suggest checking to see if the Homer reading app/platform [1] presents a trademark risk for you. They're in a similar/adjacent market (more on the K-6 side) and may have broadly-drafted trademarks. Worth checking before you build up too much goodwill in your current name!

No need to get upset over this marketing - the kids know what's up and the real use of VPN which is safely pulling torrents of copyrighted material. Of course marketing that would get the VPN companies into trouble fast, so lacking a better message, the security angle is what they got.
Why should we cater to the lowest common denominator? If we did it your way, we increase friction for the people most likely to use, read and edit this code. Just like the written word, code has a target audience. If you want to call that gatekeeping or some other putative pejorative, find by me.
As someone who's not too familiar with IP law/GPL versions: is GPL3 not "GPLv2 or later"?
I'm not the parent commenter, but I'm sure they know that.

I think their point is that the image which a tag refers to can be changed in the repository, so if you're concerned someone might generate a Git commit with a colliding hash and produce another build with the same hash, there is in fact a much simpler attack scenario: replace the container image in the repository with any different image with the same tag.

The syntax they provided identifies the image by its own hash, so producing a different image with the same hash is _much_ more difficult.
Some new accounts are automatically dead on arrival or if they post too quickly, and have to be vouched. Nothing sinister about it.
I stopped playing war zone due to the amount of cheaters. Most of the streamers cheat too and it’s sad. It can be a lot of fun to play but it’s like counter strike back in the day when it got over run by cheaters until valve started auto detecting them.

There’s videos of a popular streamer called symphony or something where he’s shooting people through walls or sniping people when zoomed in that aren’t even visible. Then jokes “oh someone will call me a cheater”

That reminds me of my old CD setup: I had 3 of the Sony 200-disc CD changers and a "Slink-e" device to computer control them. I wrote some Python code that would pause shuffle all the tracks on all the discs, and hold two of the devices paused while the third was playing. When it reached the end of the track, it would pause that one, unpause another one, and then seek the newly-paused player to a new song and pause it there.

It was really empowering to have this because: I had more CDs than a single player could handle, and it took a quite a long time to change discs, maybe 10-30 seconds.

Of course, this was back in the early '90s. By the mid to late '90s I had ripped all my CDs to mp3s and later spent 2 weeks re-ripping them as FLACs.

F# has grown a lot, and ha already been around for quite some time now.

So long as Microsoft makes sure F# is 100% supported in jupyter I see myself using it more and more to replace Python.

One huge item missing is a data frame library though. They started developing one last year but since then I have seen nothing.

Without dataframes it’s hard to convince myself to spend the time doing analysis. And Deedle is not up to par with pandas unfortunately.

Your brain can perceive the difference between a 25 foot tall figure and a 25 inch tall one even if the angular distance is the same. Just like you can tell the difference between a giant ant striding through your neighborhood and a tiny ant on the wall in front of your face. One is impressive, the other isn't.
What does "reliably measured" mean? Isn't the record 134F, measured in 1913? I wonder what the backstory here is.
I just don't get this, it's ai not a search engine, unless we deliberately bait it, it won't spit out verbatim code snippets. I'd also use all public code in github if I wanted to train a similar tool. Furthermore, tabnine has been doing the same for years and not a single dramatic statement about it.

This simply feels like anti-Microsot people flocking to what they see as some exposed Microsoft flesh for social media biting.

I've used native-image both directly and indirectly. Directly to implement a Clojure-language authentication server which needed a small memory footprint. Indirectly through @borkdude's https://github.com/babashka/babashka which provides a native-image binary that can run much of the Clojure language.

We open-sourced some babashka code at https://github.com/staticweb-io/staticweb-open-wp/tree/maste... One major caveat: when I wrote that code, babashka didn't have any MySQL support, so I shelled out to the MySQL CLI. Later, I figured out how to compile the MySQL JDBC drivers with native-image and it's now available at https://github.com/babashka/babashka-sql-pods along with HSQLDB, SQL Server, Oracle, and Postgres drivers.

The original upstream was more or less a monorepo of several subprojects. The fork only involved the session manager, so the other pieces were removed from the forked repository.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27783755
Greg Egan wrote a short story about a financial salesperson who’s job was taken by an AI that was trained by listening to his phone calls with clients.

As a programmer though, I’m not worried. Every line of code is generating more code. Every recursive function, every loop, every piece of meta programming. Every script file that calls a Python program that calls c routines that microcode that call actual ops. It’s already all generated code generating more generated code.

When (if) we have full AGI that is capable of truly understanding a real world problem and kicking off a chain of code generation and is affordable, then I’ll be worried.
Agreed, the only surprising thing is that this isn't a Medium post and (from glancing at the comments but not the article) it isn't glaringly wrong.
I would suggest that consciousness is a faculty that is independent of thoughts, emotions or sensations. I can think of instances where I was aware of myself in the absence (or at least greatly reduced levels) of thought, emotion or sensations.

Perhaps the question is whether qualia [1] are binary or not. This is a question that is probably impossible to answer because there is nothing else to measure it with. To paraphrase Julian Jaynes, what's more immediate that immediate awareness itself?

Violating the memory model gets you undefined behavior.

> However, this does not rebuke my original argument, which assumes that most devs are not in the know. They do not know about slices being unsafe, nor do they know about happens-before

I just don't agree. Go programmers know that nothing is safe for concurrent access unless explicitly noted otherwise. They don't have any confusion about slices requiring synchronization.

Concurrent programming isn't trivial but neither is it impossible. And data races are critical bugs that can be subtle, but are straightforward to identify, and straightforward to fix.
I think it's because the language is literally tied to a distant village in a forest.
Pain is strictly a physical sensation. It may however be triggered by thoughts or emotions. The three are rarely ever experienced in isolation.
It’s overshadowed by all the weirdness of crypto currencies since. The tweets for the various currencies, the constant “I know something you don’t”, the pumping of pie in the sky futures and secret crypto societies… figure that’s the appreciation for what magic Bitcoin and the like are based on. The lack of fundamental real-world use allows for the super magical thinking.

What you said is true, the blog post talks about it at the very end.
Pretty much all Tor accounts are shadowbanned from the start. It is pretty common for Tor IPs to just be banned from the start on sites given the volume of abuse.

Reddit also uses cookies to track together your accounts together when not using Tor. My friend got to the point where any account she tried to use was shadow locked out, i.e. as soon as you tried to log in on the poisoned browser, it locked the account and any account that followed. Clearing the cookies solved that problem.

They also appear to have some kind of language profiling for certain topics and new accounts.

Sending every change to everything up to AWS would be wildly expensive both in bandwidth and cash. It would also put all of your data "in the cloud" (aka on other people's computers).

Plus a ransomware attack on AWS would make the backup unavailable.

A small, local device that contains a memory cache could write a DVD once half the cache is filled (double buffering).

A double-sided, double-layer DVD can hold 16GB so an "inline cache" with 32GB could copy and store a DVD worth of disk backup and then write a DVD.

BLU-RAY can store up to 50GB

This seems like the right thread to ask: Has anyone seen a HDMI-CEC embeddable amplifier board?

I'd love to DIY some speakers or a soundbar, maybe something like the Tech Ingredients "Worlds Best Speakers". But the convenience snob in me doesn't want to go back to a Harmony, or other multi-system remote. I've gotten really spoiled by being able to use my TV remote to control the soundbar volume, TV, chromecast, etc... all over HDMI.

I've done some searches for an amplifier board, like the youtubers are using to make homemade soundbars. Either I don't know the right combination of search terms, or they just don't seem to make such a thing. I don't REALLY want to make a bunch of space for a receiver, I'm fairly space constrained in the TV area because reasons.

Comparing individual theaters doing a handful of showings to AMC running 10 showings a day of a film with ads all over YouTube and a McDonalds tie-in is not a fair comparison.

A fair comparison would be a re-release with advertising, a press tour, collabs with social media personalities, and a nationwide multi-week run.

People see movies because their brother in Florida said it was fun, or because they have seen the trailer four times. What on earth would compel someone to look up the schedule of random showings at their local theater?
Journalists have been doing this kind of thing for ages, but yes, the Internet made it worse.
Not sure if this is the reason, but I've heard Apple (and also Netflix) give individual teams much more autonomy on how they select, interview, and hire candidates, so maybe the fit between each person and their team is better? i.e. you may even not get leetcoded depending on the team and hiring manager.

Versus Facebook, Amazon, and Google having a more one-size-fits-all approach to hiring.
