"We can prune for the facts"

I wouldn't be too sure of that. People have shown time and time again that they are pretty bad at determining what a 'fact' is.

It gets far worse when they're shown more data (the issue we are dealing with right now), and these models see far more data than any one of us will see in our lifetimes.

Much of our ability to determine what a 'fact' is is either something like: (1) (if political) 'does it fit with my bias?' or (2) (if physics) 'is it physically possible?'. Since (1) is mostly dependent on what information you show yourself, and (2) depends on comparing to interaction with physical reality, the system has too much information for (1) and no physical space to run experiments in for (2).

I've met two of their devs randomly in different Discord servers. Both were great people (Noah, Olaf) and are very active in OSS communities. Perhaps not coincidentally, both worked on Language Server related stuff.

Ólafur is responsible for a lot of Scala tooling and some pretty neat original ideas.

Sourcegraph also came up with LSIF, which is useful format for building tooling for language servers:

If you want to build this sort of stuff, the work Sourcegraph has done with LSIF + SemanticDB is probably your easiest bet.

This will show up as excess mortality of "preventable deaths".

But those stats will be overshadowed by 2 larger factors:

1. the pendulum will swing back as covid goes to zero .. fewer unhealthy and elderly members of the population will result in overall lower mortality rates in the short term (2-3 years).

2. baby boomers are coming of age .. a baby boom is eventually followed by a death boom. This will drive up the mortality rate long term (5-10 years).

Chloramine also strips the layer, so mixing water from another district that uses chloramine can also cause this problem. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't that the case in Flint?

I believe the same thing happened around the turn of the century somewhere in Pennsylvania? In that case it just affected one section of the distribution grid, not the entire city. Somewhere on the order of a thousand kids. IIRC they got free testing and I think some health care for life.

You might look into putting all of the static files into source control, but ignore the folders full of uploaded documents (the videos, etc.). Then you can at least track changes and deploy updated HTML via a managed process. You should back up the large files and figure out how you're going to serve those.
This is misleading. The new privacy protection features in Telegram are not DRM at all. They are just to prevent users from forwarding information outside of private chats or saving them, not related to copyrights at all (which is what DRM is meant to protect).

I find it quiet funny there are a bunch of unix sysadmins in here talking about how PS isn't great, but admit to only touching it "sometimes" for some minor use case. Well, no shit. I now do cloud/unix/windows dev and formerly used to admin both types and use both bash and PS and have to say I like PS better, only because the community around it is less toxic and does not gatekeep. From actual REPL language POV though, PS serves its purpose quiet well and I look forward to where it takes us in the future.

I don't want a Hippocratic Oath for software engineers. "That software is used by abortion clinics, so I am morally obliged not to write it."

And even ignoring cases like that, there are too many situations where the programmer needs to be a lawyer, a statistician, an accountant, or otherwise have expertise in too many things outside of his field of knowledge in order to figure out that he's writing something that can harm people. Not everything is as obviously bad as a fake progress bar.
Alan Watts is an excellent writer and speaker, absolutely worth reading and listening to. I can't help but feeling that the video wraps his speech into a pathos of melancholic, "full of emotions" song married to a meaningless set of disjointed clips.

I really like the new language of calling it child abuse imagery. It’s not porn, it’s abuse. We as technologists need to do a better job of building the moderation tools that help platforms act on abuse reports. At YouTube a staggering quantity of abusive videos were uploaded. The content moderation team had mandatory therapy, were provided with powerful tooling to glance at thumbnails without watching full videos and still people burnt out so fast 3 month contacts were the norm. There was a dedicated FBI liaison who’s job it was to collect evidence and report it. (Funny note, it was technically illegal for him to possess the evidence while collecting it to report it. This became interesting due to mandatory record retention during an unrelated case.)

Better tooling allows platforms to quickly pull and report abusive content. We should all take this need quite seriously. I’d love to see some open source tooling around content moderation geared at stamping out abuse.
Cross compiling with Rust is actually not that bad.

> Water from showers and sinks ought to be collected for irrigation. There's nothing wrong with this water, and yet we throw it away, every day.

Unfortunately, this may not be as true as you think. A lot of assumptions about what was "safe" got upended with data when everything shut down. A lot of what we do is a lot more "unsafe" for us than we credit.

> Should we really be farming in the desert?

Don't call it "farming". Call it "agribusiness" because that's what it is and what drives the incentives.

The real problem is that the agribusinesses aren't paying for the water at a rate that reflects what it is worth to not run out. Consequently, the incentive is "pump now and leave someone else holding the empty bucket".

The reality is that agribusiness will eventually shut down in the Central Valley. However, there is a lot of money to be made maintaining the status quo in the meantime, and no money to be made protecting the aquifers.
I wonder if the author has heard of https://github.com/goplus/gop

I'm not a physicist but it doesn't seem hard to understand: "Water waves, sound waves, and electromagnetic waves are able to carry energy, momentum, and angular momentum and by doing so they carry those away from the source. Gravitational waves perform the same function[0]."

So as water wave is hitting rock or any other object(mass/energy) on its way gravitational waves should hit also everything and anything on their way until they lose energy and collapse.

"Gravitational waves are constantly passing Earth; however, even the strongest have a minuscule effect and their sources are generally at a great distance. For example, the waves given off by the cataclysmic final merger of GW150914 reached Earth after travelling over a billion light-years, as a ripple in spacetime that changed the length of a 4 km LIGO* arm by a thousandth of the width of a proton, proportionally equivalent to changing the distance to the nearest star outside the Solar System by one hair's width[0]."

Gravitational waves are all around us but they have minimal impact whatsoever unless I suppose some large event(source) propagates strong gravitational waves near us.

> I could see not wanting to support a tool.

I had one time written a small tool to reformat a CSV file for one of the office workers. One day she comes to me to make some change to the tool, but I was extraordinarily busy with my real work - and I only came in that day because there was a fire burning that I was best suited to putting out.

So my refusal to drop the emergency that I was fixing (on my day off) in order to modify this tool that had already saved her probably tens of hours of tedium, let to resentment and ultimately to me being fired from the place.

I'm in a much better place now ))

I just tested it again, and as the user below notes, it has some way of interfering with screen recording. However this is not 100% reliable. as I was able to create a screen recording of the media in the group's media overview page and zoom in as usual.

The trick was to start the screen recording out of Telegram, open it (if you're on the actual page it will freeze the recording interestingly) but once you get to the media overview page, the screen recording works again and you can capture whatever you want. I have been able to record everything without problem once incl the chat, but this is probably only effective in some cases.

As it turns out, regular screenshots also work on that page. My testing was not super thorough I suppose, for something I quickly did while trying to fall asleep...

Combine this phthalates and Teflon and the Hormonal balance of newborn and frowning young organisms, the the balance of the endocrine system is fucked.

——

I have a theory about the seemingly rise in gay/trans people is related to the pesticides and the rise of this…

So in the Philippines and other sea countries, pesticides are so heavily pushed to rural farmers to the point where they actually have advertising signs (think political lawn signs) that they place in the rice fields that advertise the pesticide they are spraying on the rice…

The exposure to pesticides and phthalates and lead, and the robust bust still fragile chemical balance of the hormonal systems in biological organisms is whacked and results in, my personal opinion, an additive factor to all the different expressions of how humans identify…

Ever wonder why all the brown people seem to live south of Rio Grande, as soon as the language changes to Spanish? Because the Spaniards were, by far, the most benign European imperialists.

There were crimes, Potosi cries out to this day, but the fact that an Incan nobleman knew how to write in Spanish and could petition the court of Charles V (?) is a testament to Spain.

> Tools like vcpkg paper over the horror that is cmake and more isolated build environments and could ultimately be de-facto

Given that I've been working with C++ for nearly 30 years, have used autotools, cmake, meson and waf but have never heard of vcpkg, it seems unlikely to me that such a thing is going to be the de facto anything.

> But without an official stance on how to go from "well-formed code to binaries" that covers real-world use-cases, it's hard to imagine C++ being new-learner-friendly.

Binaries are platform specific (especially installers). I don't want my language (which should almost necessarily be platform independent) grappling with or trying to tell me how to deal with them.

Understanding that creating binaries is a potentially complex task that is largely (though not totally) independent of writing code is an important step for programmers working in compiled languages.
This probably falls under the poster’s "it doesn’t always work as well as the real deal” qualification.
I agree with you that Gurgeh was just a piece getting manipulated and that that was the point, but Gurgeh was still the best piece that they could use for the job.

The Culture is (in this story) pretty much only bound by their own constraints. They chose Gurgeh for the role, since he had enough skill and talent to actually be able to accomplish the Culture's (or the SC's, winkwink) objectives without having the whole thing being taken over by an AI.

The Culture worked very much like the PoG this thread is about: it minimised potential loss and considered the constraints it had to get the best possible outcome.

The Culture is mostly constrained by only ethical rules, which, admittedly, can get flexible, especially with regards to the SC. The practical restrictions, like it being easier to send one capable human than to conquer a small galaxy, are in my mind lesser in comparison.

As such, I think they got the most out of the operation, just by being confident in their assessment of a single human who played games good. And there's absolutely no reason to believe that the overminds that guide the Culture can't model human behaviour down to the smallest variable, especially considering how augmented humans are in the Culture.

I'm also 100% onboard the idea that all the drones could outplay Gurgeh in a blink in any game, intuition be damned.

If that isn't whataboutism, then you really ought to work on better phrasing your thoughts.

Just a random article on the history, I felt there was a weird vibe of "well kids are being made ill by this lead that's everywhere for unknown reasons" as if it was some natural and unavoidable tragedy, rather than a century long conspiracy in plain sight, driven by greed that got us here. Paint manufacturers were talking publicly about it in 1904.

There's an American amazed at how good the US response to this threat is vs the UK, possibly overlooking that the UK government and industry basically banned it 15 years earlier than the US, massively reducing the scope of the problem.

The Doctor that in America is held as being responsible for proving there was an issue only starting looking into it years after that change in the UK had happened, decades after attempts at legislation started.

I feel there's an important point there that's worth thinking about.
