Nothing changed, but you redesigned the formulation? What does that mean?
But how does that cause problems? b/c the monitoring software cannot see the errors?

Well, even if it did, it presumably wouldn't be able to make sense of the error field anyway; so it either has support for graph-ql specifically, or cannot see the errors.

If the resolution of monitoring is literally is-200/not-200 a basic level of customisation should allow for "has error field" as a second error condition. Saying "expects those arguments to have been settled a decade ago" ignores that little in HTTP endpoints is settled, and building brittle software around these assumptions is the problem.
Then again my nother is using Ubuntu for the last 6 years and.. it just works.

Back when she still had Windows on the same hardware it was one call a week. Now it is one call every 4 to 5 months (and this is usually not about the system but about some button that moved in some userland application)

What makes you think anyone is jumping to conclusions? Many explanations have been proposed but the undetectable matter explanation is still the leading candidate.

From observations, we can see dark matter acting independently of visible matter. It's very difficult to explain this any other way.
We might be missing the forest for the trees here.

I think the "angry emoji" being 5x stronger than "like emoji" from Facebook is the key finding this week. Conspiracy theories would make people angry, possibly responding with the angry emoji, and then THOSE posts would have 5x higher scores than "like" emojis on Facebook.

Why are people drawn into conspiracy theories? Because when other people react angrily to a post (angry emoji), that post becomes 5x more popular than if they reacted with a simple like.

In such an environment, any disinformation would become the most popular* (popular as measured by Facebook, and pushed to the top of feeds). That's the kind of online life that people have been living if they're a part of Facebook.

Downvote?? Has anyone missed out on the news? https://thehill.com/policy/technology/578548-facebook-formul...

This is news to me, so yeah, its something I've been thinking about today. Conspiracy theories existed forever (moon landings faked. Holocaust didn't happen. JFK assassination, etc. etc.). But why is it under today's society that conspiracies are getting pushed so hard?

Well, there we go. Anger-emoji seems to explain a lot of it.

> I don't understand why consensus jumped to the conclusion that there must be a new form of undetectable matter instead trying to figure out what we don't know about gravity.

Is it implied in "I don't understand" that "it's not understandable?" There is quite a bit of evidence that point towards dark matter and away from problems in our theories of gravity. We have direct evidence for forms of matter that do not interact with particular fields, it would be unsurprising to find other forms that are extremely difficult or impossible to detect.

I often wonder if there could be some minimized instance of both practical, engaging exercises that are also aiming at abstracting principles (like teaching numbers not only with tables but also trying to break them down into bases, showing different gearing mechanisms to count in base 2,3,5,9 .. just to open the mind)
The gorilla would be much, much better than what they did - presenting the primary as some kind of fair process, with real rules, that anyone could have a chance in if they were a Democrat.

Correct, the Integrity Institute's cofounder:

"Frances is exposing a lot of the knobs in the machine that is a modern social media platform," Massachi said. "Now that people know that those knobs exist, we can start having a conversation about what is the science of how these work, what these knobs do and why you would want to turn them in which direction."

It seems public discussion does help, and is even a critical input to this effort. It's just better when others do it first.

I mean it is an infinite polynomial. Sometimes it’s a lot more useful to think of it that way and not in terms of compounding.

Or you can think of the function exp() represented by the Taylor series and e just happens to be exp(1). But the particular number itself isn’t as important as the function.

I haven't played a single player Ubisoft game is years, but they sent out these exact same emails with Far Cry 4 (2014). The only difference is the messaging: "I am the mean dictator and I am still in power because you wont play the game!". Outside of that, the email is just an excuse to show you stats and hook you back in.

I am honestly surprised this is a news story. Like I said, I haven't played a game like this in awhile from Ubisoft, but I assumed they've been doing this email stuff for all of their games since 2014.

That ignores an enormous about of vehicle safety improvements (roof crush resistance, various collision detection/drift detection, electronic stability control, crumple zones... ad nauseum).

That also ignores really impressive improvements in ICE based cars (idle shutdown, cylinder deactivation, reduced pollution).

That's not even touching on electric vehicles and self-driving car advances.
I keep a windows VM (Aws lightsail, 2 cores) in case my my app fails to build on it. It was usable but only when disabled Windows Defender. I joked about it to my wife who uses MS suits that Windows is made for running Windows defender. She has smooth ride on her 8 cores laptop.

I was also frustrated how much downloading I had to do to compile a simple c program. Chocolaty is what makes me not give up. Poweshell is good too.

This is why you always have to benchmark YOUR software, your usecase. If Linux works better for your use of "dav1d" or whatever else is on this list, then it may be what you should be using. I use nothing on this list of benchmarks other than git, and I think I'm good on the trade offs here to move to desktop Linux. I personally love Windows 11 and typing this on it, with my 11900K. I won't be switching.

Nobody seems to mention the mini-series - I thought it was the best Dune rendition to video/film. I hated the Lynch version. Sting totally turns me off.

I read the book in the early seventies; never liked the prequels/sequels. I'm also not that keen on the mutant Paul/Sandworm god. That didn't work for me.

Indian Court Constitutes Independent Committee to Probe Pegasus Snooping
If CNN or FoxNews says something blatantly slanderous / libelous, you can sue them and probably win.

If someone on Facebook says something blatantly slanderous / libelous, you can't sue anybody. Ditto with Youtube, etc. etc. So if you're going to say disinformation, its best to do it on Facebook.

EDIT: Downvotes? I'm sure everyone has heard the story of "Liars on Facebook / Amazon reviews / Yelp are killing my business". You literally can't win vs the liars on these platforms. FoxNews / CNN are legally not allowed to make libelous / slanderous claims. But go to Facebook / Amazon Reviews / Yelp (etc. etc.), and suddenly you see slander / libel / lies all over the place.

Because our laws are ineffective at policing that behavior on the internet.

Yeah, lots of things don't really taste like the thing they're "supposed" to taste like. Like, I find most grape stuff approximates the taste of concord grapes... but how many people think of concords when they think of grapes?

Grenadine tastes more like cherry flavoring than pomegranates. Heck, cherry flavoring doesn't taste much like cherries either.

Definitely motivation to avoid Windows... (and maybe Java too). The fact that that's the workflow is absurd to me.

To be more clear, e is the optimal base for representing approximate numbers, when it is desired to minimize the relative errors.

Old IBM mainframes used base 16 for floating-point numbers, which (like also the base 10) is more distant from e than 2, and that caused larger computation errors than in modern computers with binary floating-point numbers.

For exact numbers (e.g. integers), the base does not matter, except on how it influences the cost of the hardware needed to implement the arithmetic operations. Base 2 normally results in minimal cost.
Gold has properties that are similar to copper (highly electrically and thermally conductive, lustrous, and malleable), with the added benefit of being corrosion resistant. Many of the industrial applications of gold and copper are similar.

Which would suggest that if gold and copper had the same supply, the demand would be similar and thus the price would be the same. It turns out that's approximately correct— the ratio of gold and copper's prices is similar to the ratio of their supply.

Zuck, is that you? (i'm joking. surely Zuck has better things to do than hang out on online forums...)

it's interesting how you engage with only a small portion of my comment. it seems you didn't bother clicking through to the deeper critiques of the tech industry that i referenced (Wendy Liu's Abolish Silicon Valley Tribune article/essay). you casually dismiss serious in-depth critiques of today's system with anecdotal information ("I can access whatever I want, discuss whatever I want"); also by suggesting that i yearn to feel a sense of elitism or be a part of some sort of 'in-group'; that i don't have a facebook account, and that i live inside of an echo-chamber, all without actually engaging with the material and any of the arguments.

would you consider that maybe it is you who is living inside the Silicon Valley echo-chamber? your blanket statements and straw man arguments are suspiciously echo-chamber -like [1]

anyway, hope you're having fun up there on Elysium

Gaming performance usually comes down to graphics drivers.
I used to play Guild Wars growing up, and they would actually display an in game message telling you to consider stop playing after 3 continuous hours, as well as every subsequent hour after that.

It's interesting to see the juxtaposition of developers concerned about your health, vs those that completely disregard it. But I think the bigger picture might be that we have different standards now as opposed to 15 years ago for what is sane, healthy, or acceptable game playing habits.
In the 50s, they were predicting that cars would be flying and nuclear powered by the 80s. That's what I think about with accelerating magnitude of advances. What we have now seems much more like the expected linear progress of 70 years, helped along by the computing revolution, where most of the actual magnitudes of progress has occurred.

Mostly yes. E.g. in Germany there’s often no speed limits. I also support laws like “you’re responsible for not speeding” so if you crash and hurt someone, you could be guilty, but not if you’re speeding on a completely straight & empty motorway.

From a bit of research this does appear to be true, at least partially, although the meanings are also a bit different.

Either way, the affect was the same, both in terms of how it influenced others and how it felt to read.

Though it does make me wonder how it treats the arabic translations. The obvious answer would be to keep the words the same, but if thats the case then the use of different languages would seem a bit arbitrary. Maybe English words are used in the Arabic translations (though I doubt it)
> Ads in the start menu? those are apps... silly... sure.. worthwhile of a rage fest? nah..

I read the book, my girlfriend didn't. We both agreed on two things:

1. The plot was moving too quickly and without enough context. She said she didn't understand much, and I can relate to that. If I haven't read the book I wouldn't be able to pick up with the plotline.

2. We didn't have any feelings towards any of the characters. We weren't sorry for Leto, we didn't identify with Paul, Jessica or any other character, we weren't even hating the Harkonnen.

All this led us to the conclusion that it was better to take things more slowly, investing more building the characters and context and getting people "onboard". This would have probably required to split the book into 3 films instead of 2, but I think it would have been worth it.

The press has no special rights or privileges, as much as they'd like the plebs to think otherwise.

Extremely obvious indeed. Why would the Democrats attack their own propaganda arm?

> Finally, Facebook lied in Congressional hearings. As far as I know, neither Fox nor CNN has done that.

Instead they just give permanent talking head platforms to the people who did lie during congressional hearings (Brennan, Fauci etc.)
The word 'robota' is also related to the German word 'arbeiter'; both suggesting 'laborer' at the most basic level, and sometimes used as a euphemism for outright slave.

Thus the ironic power of the word's use in the play, the same irony that powers the motto 'Arbeit Macht Frei'.

How about a mention that so many "conspiracy theories" have a certain grain of truth to them, and the fact that corporate media tries so hard to make sure you're not aware of those things?

The Jeffrey Epstein story is so deep and disturbing, but no one in media will touch it in any depth. Or even do anything more than superficially acknowledge it.

The fact that an article like this doesn't even acknowledge that there are underlying truths that contribute to conspiracy theories ultimately contributes to the spread of conspiracy theories.

To be clear, I'm not defending Q. But to attack "Q" in a pseudo-intellectual way without pointing out that there is often a truth at the center of these theories is further evidence used by conspiracy theorists to show that truths are being covered up.

The arrogance of articles like this talk is to down to the "stupid people" who believe in such things. But people know there are crazy, almost unbelievable truths out there, like Epstein or MK-ULTRA (and the absolutely nuts connection between MK-ULTRA, Charles Manson, and Jack Ruby).

Lithium batteries seem to blow up a lot or a lot more than they should. People say that this doesn't matter for the best made batteries, which is fair in those cases, but judging safety relative to an ideal is not wise.

Its also absolutely terrible for the local environment to mine it. That should be well known by now (e.g. effects in Bolivia / Chile).

I'm more interested to see where Catl and Faradion or others go with sodium ion technology. Zinc and potassium are also good candidates too. For now, the lithium show continues though unfortunately.

Lisp seems a lot like Linq to me where it's an undeniably cool part of a language but crucially, just a part. If you plop Linq down on someone's lap, they're not going to know what to do with it. If you give someone Linq in the context of C#, suddenly it's the greatest thing you've ever laid eyes on.

Likewise, if you're using Lisp within the context of some other language for scripting, it's fucking phenomenal. If you try to use it on its own to build a whole project from 0 to 100, you're going to be confused as to why you're not using a different language.
I did find it interesting that the primary source for this article appears to be the couple who owns the land the deposit is on. They would obviously have an interest in making this deposit seem special, especially since it seems like they want to pressure the state to allow them to mine it.
> The suit filed by the Illinois woman

While this is technically true, it obscures the reality of the matter. I doubt that woman woke up that day and decided in earnest she wanted to sue Kellogs over a poptart.

What likely happened is that Sheehan & Associates decided they wanted to try their hand at a class action lawsuit on the matter.

They need an actual plaintiff for doing that, just one person who, they will argue in court, is representative of anyone who ever bought a pop tart. They're not allowed to just solicit that person directly, so what they'll do is claim that they are "investigating the lack of strawberries in pop tart" and advertise heavily asking for help in their "investigation".

Once they get someone in their office or on the phone, it's easy to lead them towards the filing of a lawsuit (for which they can get paid).

The article does an unusually good job at showing scepticism over what is clearly lawyer-led and not plaintiff-led litigation, down to the title: "law firm sues".
