Offering a recursive DNS server is one of the basic jobs of an ISP intended for regular users.

It's not strictly required, but it makes everyone a lot happier, since most consumer oriented operating systems don't include a recursive resolver (or they're not enabled out of the box). I can't find a changelog for the root hints, but I don't think they change that often. I can see L changed IPs in 2007 (and IPv6 in 2015), D in 2012, H in 2015; B in 2017 (and also 2004); I'm not sure if there were changes before then too, but I'm pretty sure even if you had a really old list from 1991, at least a few of the roots are still there, and you could bootstrap from there.

There's value in a shared, somewhat local cache though. And also value in your ISP doing the recursion without the delay imposed by the last mile physical protocol.

That makes no sense. He is the CEO and on the board, he _is_ the decision maker and could reverse any action he disagreed with. Any disagreement was purely theatre.
IR is line-of-sight, and the receiver can be blocked with a small piece of electrical tape.
Being in a Building
I disagree that "enlightened" societies don't rely on mediating access to information as the defining tool of control; our difference of opinion is perhaps that you think of this purely as limiting information spread, where I think of it also as shaping the information for their own ends. The governments of the UK and the USA, to state two examples you mentioned, have used these tools effectively as propaganda channels repeatedly to sell their vision of armed conflict. The second Iraq war wasn't that long ago.

I'll make a tangentially related argument: Starting with the printing press, and through the advent of telephone, radio, television, and now the Internet (mainly via the Web), controlling messaging via these media (or controlling these media directly at times) has been as much a tool of control for those in power in democratic societies as in autocratic ones.
No of course not. The moment you - possibly accidentally - grant the fucker an internet connection over BT, it starts to rat on you. However briefly.

Yeah. I think apart from that he knows how painful is to work with the current payment systems given the trouble they had to go through to get credit card companies work initially with Square to give their card readers for small businesses.
It's for manufacturability, not design... Airstreams are now a premium brand, and it's quite expensive to develop and maintain a mirror polish. Someone buying a $150k polished trailer expects it to be completely unblemished.

You can still polish it yourself, it only takes about 80 hours of manual labor...
I don't have any special insight into the problem, but I'd say whatever form real AGI takes it won't be a language model. Even without AGI these models are massively useful though - a version of GPT-3 that incorporates a knowledge graph similar to TOME would upend a lot of industries.

> It's not nonsensical.

It had nothing to do with the passage you were quoting. So yes it was nonsensical.

> That guy is conflating violating a copyright with violating a trademark

You keep saying that but I’ve not seen anyone discuss IP violations apart from you.

They didn’t even mention copyright, the OP was discussing trademark preventing Mickey Mouse from being public domain. Ok they lacked eloquence but at least they weren’t making bullshit up like you were.

> I even gave examples. Rather than acknowledge this, he doesn't.

They literally replied to it. Which is more than you deserved given it was a stupid straw man argument.

By the way, what makes you so sure they identify themselves as “he”? Another of many assumptions you’ve made about them today.

Does he think Microsoft is close to peak valuation or that the markets are frothy?

Or maybe he just wants to diversify or buy personal toys and real estate.

He still has about $300 million in shares.

There also seems to be a potential tax element to it:

“Satya sold approximately 840,000 shares of his holdings of Microsoft stock for personal financial planning and diversification reasons,” a Microsoft spokesman said in a written statement. “He is committed to the continued success of the company and his holdings significantly exceed the holding requirements set by the Microsoft Board of Directors.”

Analysts said the move could be related to Washington state instituting a 7% tax for long-term capital gains beginning at the start of next year for anything exceeding $250,000 a year.
More charitably, he may have been suckered by the crypto Ponzi. Many intelligent people have.
Transformational machine learning(TML): ‘learns how to learn’
They use those advantages to compete with other companies and with volunteer efforts. That's another reason I'm not too worried about doom-and-gloom predictions of what would happen if we killed the ads (and spying-fed ML) golden goose: we do not know how much better protocols, free (open source) products, non-profit services (as in Wikipedia), and paid software/services would be without ad-fed giants sucking all the air out of the room at best, and deliberately using their advantages to kill things (competitors, protocols, et c.) at worst. I suspect all of those would be a whole lot better, absent the money-firehoses dependent on bad & dangerous behavior.
I am not against ML. I have built useful ML models.

I am against GPT-3.

For that matter I was interested in AGI 7 years before it got ‘cool’. Back then I was called a crackpot, now I say the people at lesswrong are crackpots.
Thanks, I agree that blockchain-permenance is undesirable (not to mention illegal in EU !)

Still, I do wish links were content-addressed to fight against link rot, but with individual users able to choose what files they want to keep seeding, as is the case now with torrents. I never saw the appeal of IPFS broadcasting every file I look at, but wouldn’t it be cool if archive.org’s job was made eaiser by a replication protocol, maybe something like Beaker’s Hyperdrive?

The way I see it, if someone copies something I publish, they can’t prove it was me unless I choose to cryptographically sign it - the trouble with blockchain solutions is everything is signed by default and its hard to keep an alt account anonymous.

More pressing than link rot tho, as you point out, is network spam, how to stay sane on a web that’s 90% bots posting markov-generated content. I’m interested in maintaining collections of data and their original context, so if someone shares a 5 second clip its trivial for me to pull up the file it was clipped from. This kind of searchability and back-linking is what I’m turning to xanadu for.

[ I appreciate the opportunity to think “out loud” :) ]
Thanks for sharing! Is there an example site built with Markblog? I didn’t see a link in the readme.

It certainly sounds very similar!

Edit: Found this link on the Markblog docs: https://olaven.org/

Edit again: I like that you appear to have an automated approach to deploying to GitHub Pages.
Not really, just like TV's there's certainly a 'premium' range for those that are interested but there's a wide range or regular 'work' monitors. e.g. a few years ago I got a 43" 4K monitor with 10-bit colour-depth, 60Hz refresh, good local dimming etc. for $800.

In OP's link for IPS, a monitor of the same size and brand that seems to be the next version after the one I got is $550. It's hardly a premium over a comparable TV.
Excluding that Mac market, I don't think Apple sell anything new anymore that is under 200 PPI.

His tweet the day prior to resigning was:

Weird timing. Also I don’t know anyone who actively and daily uses Pinterest.
My god damn CPAP machine does this. Insurance required the modem in order for them to pay for it.

Maybe, maybe not. But I could've predicted your entire response nearly word for word.
I wonder if this would work to self-host on a crusty old T480 with a broken screen? Can Argo tunnel be used sort of like a dyndns? Although my Google Fiber connection at home has had the same IP, but in order to get a static IP, I need to get a Google Fiber Business connection which is 2.5x times more expensive.
Significant hyperbole.

Elementary kids do not care one bit about wearing masks indoors. They picked up the habit quickly, don't complain, and now put the rest of us to shame. Indeed, they often don't bother (not out of fear, but just forgetting or not bothering) to remove when going outside.

And, the risk is much more significant than you imply, and the risk to us who work with them is substantial.

I'm looking forward to masks going away eventually for a lot of reasons (though I kinda hope they become normal for e.g. the worst month of flu season, like in many other parts of the world), but calling it abuse is just ridiculous.
>What's bs to you, may not be to someone else.

That doesn't make it not BS.

That's a good point. We want to figure out a way to help with UI design in the long run, but for now, we're focused on branding.

P.S. Have you read Don Norman's The Design of Everyday Things? Your comment "someone is doing the design for that product, whether they realize it or not" reminded me of a lot of the examples in the book.

You're choosing an overly generous definition of platform.

A surly neighbor, a dreaded personage at church, has limits on their influence based on simple geography. They experience pushback against their behavior via ostracism (exclusion from events and groups) and non-verbal cues (facial expressions, body language).

The same type of character on a massive online platform has the opportunity to reach a much broader audience, aided by engagement-focused algorithms that can suggest similarly cantankerous personalities to commiserate with. There is less opportunity for negative feedback against their opinions and actions, because there are seldom any "unlike" buttons, and bans and mutes are usually invisible to the originator of the speech: they can opt to interpret silence as acceptance.
I feel like my shiny new iPhone is made of tears. This is awful.
Excellent point.

A lot of focus is on pilots, but the safety chain was also weak. Maint, communication with flight dept, communication to subsequent pilots etc, training dept and required experience / education to fly. Not a good combo. Someone with 200 hrs of time, plane badly maintained, no good handoff around prior issues etc.

I still think Boeings safety model with humans as the backup for computers probably doesn't work in a world where a large majority of pilots lean on fully fly by wire (computerized) planes. Someone with 240 hours, a bunch of that just sim time - can they hand fly a plane in its entire envelope?

This is where Boeing sounded really tone deaf. They built a model around humans as backup, a very US centric model (ie, folks with tons of general aviation experience just as a hobby from young ages, military flight experience etc) which was not really appropriate here.
>A better funding model is right in front of our eyes and is used by almost every other company

An even better "funding model" would be a non-profit entity with no additional agenda beyond providing an anti-adtech browser to the world. I'm guessing that there are a lot of people who would donate their time and money to thwarting the overreach of adtech.

I recently purchased one of the Sceptre TVs and overall am happy with it. The only drawback I found was the sound is not great: it is tinny and muddled (possibly because it's wall-mounted). I'm planning to buy some external speakers.

During the 90's EA Spouse period and during the dotcom boom I saw people being crushed, burnt to a crisp and discarded like empty candy wrappers. No, it was not as extreme then, it took another decade and outsourcing to a foreign country to get as bad as we see here at Foxconn. Don't be fooled into thinking such overwork does not occur in your own country. Cast your eyes over at the web developers being abused right now...

Basically, a manner of speaking depending on to whom you're talking to or who you're addressing or how you mean it to be interpreted.

In English a similar concept is formality, but register is a generalized concept.

> Because VSCode is a fancy text editor, not a full-blown IDE.

What does that have anything to respond to the question?

I kept seeing people making this claim as if there is a definition of what an IDE is. VSC has project-wide code anyalysis and step debug. It may not be a good IDE in YOUR opinion but tell me what definition of IDE are you using?
OCB isn't committing, so it doesn't solve the stated problem.
I wouldn't be surprised if that's the reason why FB investigated cryptocurrencies as well, they had/have so much trouble getting payment features approved in different countries.
> It looks as though Xu even enjoyed his time at Foxconn

That is opposite his words in the article. He did not appear to enjoy his time at Foxconn.

A space of ten square meters
Cramped and damp, no sunlight all year
Here I eat, sleep, shit, and think
Cough, get headaches, grow old, get sick but still fail to die
Under the dull yellow light again I stare blankly, chuckling like an idiot
I pace back and forth, singing softly, reading, writing poems
Every time I open the window or the wicker gate
I seem like a dead man
Slowly pushing open the lid of a coffin.
Agree, Foxconn is an over simplification that has somehow captured the mindshare… I guess because of Apple.

Foxconn doesn’t force people to work there, and they can resign at anytime.

The problem is, life outside of your houkou in China is soul crushingly hard. But if you are born in rural China your life in your houkou will be soul crushingly boring/mundane.

It’s not a good choice.
For a so-so discovery, you need the cred of a high-tier journal far more than they need your paper.

For an actual holy grail, ~every journal in the field needs the cred of your paper far more than you need them.
It would be nice if as part of the zero config effort, programs (esp. programs that aim to be easy-to-use Web-authoring tools) would focus even more on being as close to zero setup/zero installation as possible, too. To wit:

This program is written in TypeScript, a browser-incompatible dialect of JS that is nonetheless regularly compiled to standard JS, e.g. to transform a given module into a form that can run in the browser—and yet md2blog itself doesn't. You are expected to either download an out-of-band, platform-specific binary or use Deno to run it.

Instead, one should be able to use md2blog and similar programs by using the browser itself to open and run the program, considering it's the universal platform that everyone already has, and it's reasonable to expect that you're going to use it at some point in the pipeline, anyway (e.g. for proofing your work).

Even better quick start instructions would look something like this:

0. Start with a directory that contains the site sources that you intend to publish.

1. Save a copy of "md2blog.html" there, too (or anywhere, really).

2. Open the md2blog program in your browser by double clicking md2blog.html.

3. Drag and drop the directory with your Markdown sources (same one from steps 0 and 1) into the newly opened md2blog tab.

(For good measure, a copy of these quick start instructions would be shown when you open md2blog.html.)
Fair enough! I haven't used it since I was a teenager to watch bootleg episodes of Love Hina and Aqua Teen Hunger Force (and other things that might appeal to a 15 year old boy), but I didn't mean to imply it was "dead" or anything.
Just tested it. I can't save the new account in the Mail settings when I leave the incoming credentials blank :-/ It works when I add the real IMAP account though. And the Mail app seems to be clever enough to not duplicate everything in the combined Inbox view. Thanks, at least that's a tradeoff.
What's the stack now?
This is exactly what should stop, so if this is the case of someone publishing an actual breakthrough in a lower tier journal then that should be encouraged, rather than punished by outright dismissing the contribution based on where it is published.

Otherwise we'll never get rid of those cartels.
A deal with comcast and their ubiquitous pseudo public hotspots would simplify that.

One wonders if you could apply some of this technology to make passive toilet facilities for cities.
I think the basic intellij config is set at max 2 gigs of RAM, so it doesn’t really matter how many you have unless you change that.

I really don’t know how did you manage to crash it, even with misbehaving plugins it will manage the situation gracefully (usually with a notification that this plugin had an exception) but will continue to run perfectly. Modifying files due to locking sounds like a Windows issue, and has nothing to do with intellij.

I really don’t know what have you configured for all these things to happen — what language was that project written in?
What you describe here is clearly insanity, although I am slightly unconvinced owner's manual page count is very relevant.

I read nothing and intuitively understood my car's controls, this is what I also agree should be the clear state, and it seems to me in some sense it should be legislated to prevent what you describe. It is an interesting point though, should each vehicle manufacturer be obligated to put a light stick with some exact set of controls for the headlights in?
On Ethereum, Solidity has access to the global state of the blockchain and it's very hard do create secure program with it. Cardano's language Plutus has only access to UTXOs ( bitcoin way to manage account) and store a local state in it. It's really functional programming applied to the blockchain space. The language is functional ( Haskell subset ) and the ledger too. One advantage of this design is that fees are deterministic. For a given transaction input you will have exactly the same fees.

How to diagnose and fix?
If you'd like another depressing read, Derrick Jensen's "Bright Green Lies" is a good one. It does the very uncomfortable math on "Ok, so, you want to power civilization with wind/solar/nuclear/etc? What does that look like in mountain tops removed, valleys filled with tailings, habitats blown to pieces, etc?" The answers aren't good.

A number of the environmental groups have subtly shifted over the past decade or two from "How can we protect the environment?" to "How can we maintain industrial civilization levels of energy consumption and all our conveniences, but carbon neutral?" They are not the same question or issue, even though they're often confused.
If you found that interesting, make sure to have a look at the list of other articles on that blog. It's all written by the same author, a trained mathematician - now software dev, on the quest to figure out what music actually is. You can see it as a sort of log of his efforts, ideas, dead-ends...
