I think so, or at least the film was very self-aware of the fact the Matrix as a movie franchise has exactly become what the Matrix in the original movie was, a repetitive, stagnant world that exists solely to suck the lifeforce out of its subjects. This is a critique that Baudrillard (whose work is featured in the original) actually had already of the original trilogy itself when he stated that "the matrix is the kind of movie that the matrix would come up with"

Not sure if she was trying to burn cash on purpose as performance art but I wouldn't put it past her either
> and it wasn't a political thing

Where you see "a political thing" I see "a trust thing". I have been burned too many times to sanely remain trusting . It's not politics I dont care if red/blue/pink/pirate team is pushing it, I have lost blind faith and now scrutinize as I'm able. And there used to be a time when I just trusted whatever came under the banner of "Science" thinking that smarter people than me were benevolently doing the best for all.

But since I've experienced unexpected costs I've done more research and been shocked at what I found, for example Pfizer the maker of my vaccine has been fined ~$5Bn over 75 separate situations over the past 20 years [1]. Or Merck paying out 4.7Bn in damages , $1Bn in fines -- but gathered $12Bn in sales[2] ... No one went to jail. There is too much corporatism[3] for me to trust.

A friend of mine was dying from it at the hospital. Strong medication, followed by stronger one and then experimental ones that cost thousand a pill.

At some point he said ’fuck it, if I going to die it’s going to be in the sun’ (he lived in cold Canada.)

He went to Mexico and completely recover without any drugs, eating anything he wanted. I later found there is a strong connection with vitamin D deficiency and autoimmune diseases.

Look into functional medicine if you haven’t, basically the idea of giving what a normal body need to function properly ( good food, sleep, friends, family, sun, etc, probiotics) and mostly get out of the way.
Definitely. It gets the name of "ICG America" in front of thousands of potential customers, and demonstrates that they can think of innovative ways of solving difficult problems. And mentioning Google is a very effective way of attracting readers' attention, since it's a name that's much more recognizable than their own.
The cover ruined it for me. I remember being a kid and seeing that scene with Neo flying and Rage Against The Machine playing and it sent chills down my spine. Not so much this time around.
How do you do this and how much does it cost?
You might be right, "forced" might be the wrong word.

WB's been in pre-production on a new Matrix for years now, and maybe she saw the opportunity to use it.
That justifies using something like rollup or webpack to bundle all your dependencies into one huge file to make a "static build" of sorts. Then you can at least do a cursory check for anything obviously bad in the changes, if tree-shaking works well enough.

It leaves vulnerabilities open until next release, but deals with direct attacks.
> but hearing details like this makes the divide seem much starker.

I'm in a deeply red part of the country, most of my neighbors (all of whom are non-white) are hardcore Trump supporters. Exactly zero behave or talk like this. I am not saying what the grandparent described is false, rather I would suggest that the current political zeitgeist is exceptionally reactionary. In a state like Oregon, in a small town just outside Portland, a legendarily kooky Left-wing enclave, that the folks who are on the Right are significantly more "out there" than is typical. Meanwhile, I'm in a heavily red area of a heavily red state and nobody feels the need to be "out there" because the localized norm is being on the Right.

So, I won't say that the divide isn't quite stark, but I think it's easy to look at the most extreme examples from each side and see the chasm that separates, which can lead to imagining a much bigger divide than actually exists. Political zealotry operates on a bell curve like pretty much anything else involving people.
Cold take: It is regular racism, just directed at acceptable targets.
folkhack posted a comment advocating for the 2nd. That's what we're talking about.
I was on Refind (until they went paid) and now I'm on OneNote. I take notes in OneNote as well so I think this works out well. I wish their Chrome Extension works a bit better though (some sites are difficult to capture as an Article).
Hot take: I was a huge fan of the original matrix trilogy and the animatrix, and while it wasn't what I expected, I enjoyed the film. In the late 90s, we had this whole thing of the corporate drone. That's sort of dead now. Instead we have millennials and zoomers with their spunk and crippling anxiety and standups and fair trade and breaking of fourth walls, and meta, etc, etc. It just feels like the original trilogy were movies that matched the late 90s and early 00s, and this movie matches the 2020s. It is impossible to take the sincere authenticity of the first three films and transplant them into the 2020s without having an identity crisis. This is just the shit timeline we're living in. Movie was on point. Was delighted to see none other than NPH as the central villain. Would have been much worse without him, imo.
Crime in inner cities was really high in general at the same time most of those projects were built so there's a large number of confounding factors. It's likely many of the residents would have otherwise been homeless and still living in violence.

Plus modern design philosophy solves many of the issues by making the common/public areas more visible rather than less. Also cameras/CCTV are so cheap now there's little chance of serious violent crime occurring.
"There can be only one"

Applies to The Matrix at least as much as it applies to the movie it came from.
And what happens if project A pins projects B and C, which in turn pin DIFFERENT versions of project D? Is there any language or environment out there that can make that work?

Node and npm have always been able to do this. Once upon a time this was accomplished via very hierarchical node_modules directories. This caused some issues, so the directory was flattened, however the multi-version compatibility was always maintained.
Launching an MVNO that pays out to network providers isn’t the same thing as a hostile takeover of a single carrier, for either case.

Also, as a carrier, I’m not worried about Google’s MVNO for one simple reason: Google hates humans.

For all that the carriers are bad to their customers, they at least have a footprint in meatspace. Google’s DNA finds physical footprint and real human interaction anathema.

I would gladly take Google in a customer foot race any day.
> We are setting the precedent that users can modify the code you've published under your own name, if they don't like what you've done with it.

Not users of your code, platforms you distribute on, and that precedent has been rolling forward for a while now, it's not new. Even so, I don't approve of GitHub's ban, but that doesn't mean I have to endorse the author.

> People are choosing to run his code, and choosing to update to whatever new code he publishes, regardless of the contents.

This line of reasoning would suggest that the authors of malware that requires affirmative action to start running (download an exe, open a PDF, whatever) are clean and clear legally because the victim chose to run their code. How is this any different than a malicious EXE sitting on a server somewhere waiting to be downloaded? It can't just be that the victims in this case ought to have known better, because the victims in most cases of malware ought to have known better.
What does that even mean? Plenty of people find farm animals adorable, why else would we have petting zoo's?

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that humans eat meat, and we've gotten quite used to processing certain species of animals for their meat.
Awesome. Let's go back to "what is the simplest useful implementation"... Let's say you have some static media like PDFs. Let's say you can use VR/AR if you want, but you can also just use your flat screen with a handheld motion controller.

Would it be useful to create a 3D world where those PDFs take up space and stay where they're put? Let's say you open an app on your computer that shows you a virtual room, and there's a menu that lets you select a folder from your computer full of PDFs. You open the folder and a pile of physical documents appears as either a stack, a spread, or something messier.

Viewing from there would be really important. You'd need to bring the camera in really close to give you the ability to read anything. Or magnifying glasses. Maybe the ability to clone and transform pages and parts of pages while leaving them linked to their parent documents.

Worked on this one some time ago[0]. Webcams are a big reason folks come to the site. Clicking on the "Princeton" icon get you a popup of the current image and clicking on that gets you the detail page[1]. On the detail page there is a "Replay the day" button which will "card flip" the images for the last 24hrs to give you a sense of what conditions have been like (no time machine yet :-) ).

Site went live back in 2005 with the current look appearing around about 2009 (memory is getting fuzzy).

Baseline network activity on a typical day ran about 4 MByte/sec continuous; on "snow days"[2] the load increases an order of magnitude to 24 MByte/second. That was 5+ years ago - I expect there's been growth since then.

Well I didn't explicitly license my tweets to allow that, so maybe not. But they probably are, anyway.

What's really the difference between "fork the repos and change the fork" and "seize and modify somebody else's IP without permission". It just comes down to the specific reference/name on GitHub and npm. I don't think there are any IP issues involved. I am pretty sure that those platforms have given themselves unlimited rights to do whatever they want with the identifiers inside their platform. You don't "own" a username on social media.

Maybe the worst that could be said is that they are impersonating someone, which might be illegal? IANAL as should be obvious.

No. None of those safety implements you describe are things that alter the structure of my body, they are applied to augment the safety of existing pieces of external technology. So if they symbolize something negative, it would have to be along the lines of "constraining worldly authority" which could be argued to be a natural precaution, or an overprotective tyrannical overreach, but the nature of it is not the same as the operation. I do not share this materialist/gnostic mindset which tends to make a person consider matter to be essentially all the same in meaning, with a dead universe acted upon at a libertine perogative through a window of the human mind.

Everything has become for me a layered network of symbolic meaning. The diet is about resisting gluttonous impulses and building up my body via natural means towards an ideal intended by the Creator. High blood pressure medicine may be an enactment of an archetype of a good doctor, or not, depending on how the medicine itself interacts with this network of meanings.

WB new releases are only on HBO Max for a month. If you watched Matrix 4 within that month they can attribute some fraction of your monthly fee to it.
Original link: https://darebee.com/workouts/goliath-workout.html
"Ultralow logic state switching energies of 10−17 J are predicted for 20 nm feature size ULTRARAM memories." Which basically means that they have not yet managed to get UltraRAM working on a 20nm process. Intel made great predictions about Optane memory, as did the developers of STT-MRAM, but all of these technologies have encountered tremendous challenges scaling down to the 7nm and now 5nm process sizes that vendors like TSMC are now selling in bulk.

I really hope they're able to come through where previous vendors have failed.
> and nobody legislates or regulates things

Completely agree, which is why I support such endeavors wholeheartedly.
It felt like a sort of kabuki of the original Matrix, as written by Redditors who were tasked with making it as self-referential as possible.

I know the post - it includes most of the examples I gave! "I could decide that I never have the same name after it's been uttered once" is the extension of "8. People’s names change, but only at a certain enumerated set of events". "I could decide that my name is the last ten thousand numbers of pi" is an extension of "40. People have names". "I could decide that my name is only allowed to be said by a person, and not rendered by a computer, because my name belongs to only the heavenly language of humans" is the same as "11. People’s names are all mapped in Unicode code points". "I could decide that my name is the same as my social security number, which would make any system that doesn't have PCI-DSS control on my name out of compliance" is the same, in spirit, as "31. I can safely assume that this dictionary of bad words contains no people’s names in it".

I'm not inventing any new ones. "Falsehoods programmers believe about names" is a superset of the examples I gave. If you have issues with the examples I gave, then it's because you have issues with what is implied by the article, and not about my examples. Everything that I said flows directly from reading that article and understanding its implications.
I saw Dark City first, so I wasn't able to see The Matrix for the first time even once. :-)
Staying close to the code where possible always wins, I think. One code base I worked in had a particularly complex state machine, and right above its main function was a giant ascii art diagram of said state machine. It was perfect documentation.
> as long as package.json hasn't been updated, or update the lockfile if it has

There is a problem here: it will update the __entire__ package-lock.json file, regardless of the actual changes in packages.json.

Pinning doesn't help here if colors dependency is not your direct dependency.

So you can have a pinned library that doesn't pin colors.js. Now you make a change in packages.json (say adding or removing another unrelated package). You will end up with colors being bumped to latest.
The public information is an afterthought. Cameras on plows are a liability thing. Plows often hit things they simply cannot see, stuff covered in snow. But after a collision is is very hard to determine what if anything was under the snow prior to impact. There is no way to really avoid this problem while still plowing. So cameras protect the city/state/driver by showing what things looked like from the driver's perspective. That the streams are shared with the public is a bonus.
> We can add The Matrix Resurrections to that list, too, with the HBO Max hybrid barely scraping past $100 million globally since hitting the big screen and streaming on December 22, not ideal when the sci-fi actioner’s budget is estimated to be hovering around the $190 million mark.

Even with the fact that it was used to inspire people to sign for HBO max, I'm going to guess it's not a success if those two numbers are true. I don't know how much more legs it's got but rough rule of thumb is the films' grosses need to roughly double the film's budget to be a success.
Would you run searches over them if you could?
The lure of industry is strong for academics, especially in CS. It's hard to pass up making my 2x or more in industry. But every time I think about making the switch, I find it really hard to put a value on what the author points out at the end:

The freedom and unstructured time to explore fuzzy problems is unmatched.

An assistant tenure-track professor in CS or CompE is going to make maybe $100k for 9 months of service, and really it's more like 30-32 weeks. I don't know any other job that gives you 6-figure salary and lets you basically do whatever* you want for 42% of the year.

Is a 2x salary increase worth giving up that kind of time? For me I think It'd have to be a sum where I could retire much sooner, but what I would imagine myself doing in early retirement is the research I'm doing right now.

I know a lot of people that made the same decision as this author, and they do report they miss the freedom of summer that academics get.

Ward Cunningham gave us FIT which begat Fitnesse which eventually begat many flavors of Cucumber. This deserves more wailing and moaning from all of us than what we give to the wiki or the technical debt. For it is truly evil.

It's hard enough to get business folks to explain to us what they actually want. Trying to get them to code is a step too far.

And business-friendly frameworks are generally a PITA for us to maintain. And ugly. And wasteful.

RSpec, on the other hand, and the spec-like frameworks it's inspired in many languages, are intended as literate test programming, not as a business translation layer. They're tools for us to think and talk about software differently. They help us talk about behaviors while still being in our code.

Now if only PyTest folks could copy the "good parts" of RSpec instead of the output.

Or if someone would figure out a succinct, repeatable, reliable way to do more of our testing in Jupyter.

Compare that to Doom 2:

Doom is extremely fast by design. So... it takes some getting used to.

The Covid vaccine is hardly a “completely novel” health intervention, but rather it rests on a huge body of knowledge of the immune system and decades of vaccine science, does it not?

I think most people that viscerally hate it came in with strong expectations. On its own I found it quite interesting. On the matrix reddit there are two "blue pill, red pill" threads that split apart the people that like it and don't, and for the people who like it there are some long essays explaining why, that I found heartfelt and well-reasoned. I have a theory that if people really liked Cloud Atlas and Sense8, they're more apt to like Resurrections.
The person who holds the copyright doesn't own the storage for the repo. They agreed to a terms of service, which they almost certainly violated by pushing malicious code. Microsoft undid a change; that's not even derivative, it's literally the same code that the author published. To claim that Microsoft can't remove content from GitHub is wild.

I guess it depends on what motivates you. To me there is huge opportunity and exciting new approaches in “boring” areas like enterprise software.

we are witnessing a once in a generation reset where we get to make the lives of millions of corporate programmer and operations folks a bit better. Look at what Pulumi, Tanzu, Spotify/Backstage, Crossplane, Tailscale, Chainguard, Gitlab, Etc. are all doing.

The last reset like this was in the late 90s with Java. There’s still tens of billions of dollars being spent on IBM, Oracle, etc. that could be better spent. Channeling that all to Google, AWS, etc. isn’t going to solve things. There’s a vibrant ISV ecosystem out there.
