I think the trick is to separate your home office from your home-home well enough to create compartmentalization.

The President of the United States has worked from home for centuries, but the Oval Office and West Wing are well separated from the residence. “Oh, but I don’t have room in my West Coast studio apartment to do that.” If you’re working remote, why are you in a West Coast studio apartment?
The immediate goal of FSD is NOT to drive perfectly, the goal (MVP) is to drive safer than the average human.

Most probably the type of accidents the FSD MVP will be having is different than a human would and vice versa.

There are 60k testers [0] of FSD and only 1 accident since September. OK, not really average drivers but that's one accident for 15k years of (some) driving. Probably FSD is already safer than most drivers. Although FSD is not yet complete as it cannot handle some situations at all and hands over to the human.

Hardly surprising to see some attempt at an alternative rise after the absolute mess that was the last financial crisis though.
Well, yes, the government should be aware of how far they can push their laws before a backlash. Now we have an absurd situation where some countries declare the end of pandemic and remove the last limitations and other countries try to enforce new rules. A good ruler knows how far they can go, and what to do once they realize they've gone too far.
> I think that a lot of people are anti-NFT because they hate them and all these explanations for the exact reason why they suck shift once you start talking to these NFT haters and engaging them.

As one of the terrible nocoin haters, possibly I can explain what's going on here.

People dislike NFTs for _multiple reasons_:

- They're typically hideously wasteful of energy.

- They are typically scams

- Even if not explicitly scams, they represent a pointless and inefficient financialisation of bloody everything that no-one except crypto enthusiasts seems to be at all interested in

- The art is weirdly universally alarmingly bad

- As applied to games, they incentivise bad (pay to win) design dynamics

I could go on. It is not inconsistent to dislike something for multiple reasons.
the linked site clearly states this only applies to international account rather than domestic accounts.

The Biden administration has, however, provided the IRS more power by requiring financial institutions to report transactions over $600 to the IRS, a significant reduction fdown from the previous $10K threshold.

This new law went into effect in 2022 and shows the govt’s desire to shake down the middle class for more taxes, while eliminating privacy.
How would you know? You might be working for an institution that does this right now.

I was intimidated into signed an NDA which says I can't talk about the NDA. The threats were serious, and I don't talk about that NDA.

Unless you're at senior levels of your university, you wouldn't know about sketchy stuff like this going on.

The way to solve this would be to extend restrictions on federal grant funding and financial aid to only encompass institutions which don't use tools like this.
> back when everyone was deploying their sites by uploading in Filezilla

There are a lot of people still doing this. Some of us have gotten away from it, but I support some people on the side that have multiple projects that still manage it this way and it works for them.

I would not want to be the one to explain to them what docker is, how it works and how to use it.
This actually works somewhat today, but it's all a little hit and miss.

For Wayland I believe the currently accepted way if doing screen sharing is through xdg-desktop-portal which has a backend for wlroots and a bunch of other common compositors. I have gotten this to work fairly decently with Firefox at least, but some things are a bit hacky.

He used to be an anglican priest, so no wonder he's coming off as preachy. :) By abandoning the anglican church and incorporating eastern religion and philosophy, he was able to teach much broader and also more suitable for his audience in the 1960s (and onward).

Much of what he says is very inspiring but he also tends to over-generalize in order to make his point salient. It should be reflected upon and taken with a healthy grain of salt.

My experience was similar to yours, I think. The book opened my perspective on how to think about myself and the world around me, and it was a stepping stone towards the original sources of Hinduism and Buddhism.
I'm not sure about the "maintenance" part, however, my experience was:

- a few years ago, one system would suddently not boot (due to btrfs); this happened twice

- nowadays, on one system, background scrub doesn't start

This is anecdata of course, but I've never had a good impression overall. I don't see any reason to use btrfs rather than ZFS, considering that Ubuntu and derivatives are starting to add builtin support.
> Languages should provide simple primitives that frameworks and libraries build on.

This had tons of disadvantages.

Say CoolLang is such a language. Since is msall CoolLang has a micro standard library so has no DateTime or JSON, so you have a package manager and maybe 1 repo where 15 different JSON packages, you decide to use JSON_A but you also want to integrate with Amazon and they used JSON_B in their API and you also need to integrate with other API and this guys used JSON_A2 witch is an incompatible version of JSON_A. So now repeat for each web related function you have to decide for what package to use, if is compatible with whatever you use and review all it's dependencies, in the end you notice you depend on 100 packages and 3 years alter you have issues upgrading.

You maybe now will complain that JSON is included and the solution is to use the CoolFramework_V13 for CoolLang, with is incompatible with previous versions and is based on 100 packages that could explode when some dev decides he had a bad day and purch is package.
That's a very different kettle of fish - the "RISC" core inside an Intel processor isn't really RISC and isn't really a core (it is the processor), whereas those cheapo VIA ones are actually a X86 translation layer on top of a RISC machine
The backlash might be booming but there are still enough stories out there about people minting millions to sustain the hysteria. Today the New York Times ran a story - "They Made Millions on Luna, Solana and Polygon: Crypto’s Boom Beyond Bitcoin" [0] - that will probably prompt some people to invest in obscure cryptocurrencies in the "if they can do I can do it too" belief. This is eerily similar to the stories run by numerous print and online publications in the early 2000's highlighting the massive amounts of money that people were making day trading.

> Lego did extensive research and found that girls preferred to play with the characters rather than build sets. So they created the Lego Friends line where the characters own beauty salons, pet boutiques and can be news reporters working on stories about cakes. The sets do not come with hundreds of pages of instructions because most of them are fairly simple to build. The Lego Friends line is immensely popular.

1.) Majority of lego sets kinds have characters in them. That includes Star Wars sets, Ninja go sets, knights sets and what not. Lego Friends having characters in them is not something unique.

2.) Also, lego sets marked for similar age brackets have similarly complex manuals. It is just not true that Lego Friends for 7 years old would be much less complex them Minecraft for 7 years old or City for 7 years old.

3.) The actual study lego made and wrote about distinguished "indoor vs outdoor" as differing preference between boys and girls. And I think "a lot of details" in that indoor (not sure about this one). This is the first time I hear about the difference being "character vs building". Which does not even match what sets lego makes. Knights series are all about characters.

> Last year, Lego created a female scientist set on a limited run. It sold out quickly.

The special thing about this was that they were based on actual real world scientists. It was very much collector item.
> You spoke only of one withheld account, that of Mary, and you said it was because of her gender.

Yes, and I explained why I did in the post above

> And when you say it lacks authenticity, is it because it's a mans account? Meaning a mans account cannot be authentic in its own right..

Fuck me this is getting repetitive.

Let’s just forget all mention of gender because my points stand up without that context. The points being the Bible lacks the accounts from those closest to Jesus and his teachings. And let’s just say, for the context of our discussion, the reasons for that omission is a historical curiosity but mostly irrelevant to this conversation.

Now you can argue whether missing texts affects the authenticity or not. And whether that even matters for a recommendation. At least if we disagree on that, we’re arguing the same topic. :)

> You are still saying the same thing: the bible is fake/"not authentic" because it was written by men.

I don’t really know why you’ve got fixated about gender nor why you find it so offensive that was even mentioned in the first place. I wasn’t trying to undermine the feelings of any alpha males on here, I was just adding some background for anyone who might have been interested.
> (as an aside this is why I think a diesel-electric tractor or pure electric would be pretty nifty thing)

Electric motors on tractors are an absolute rarity (usually, the motors need cooling, which is in conflict with the wheel/tracks being rated for driving through water and mud).

The usual is either direct drive or using the hydraulic generator for the power tools and actuators also for the drive train... and you can get electricity generator packs that you can simply plug in into the hydraulics port for a power tool [1].

The Intel source code was basically leaked for a bunch of their firmware and nothing particularly interesting got out.
Wayland works on nvidia gpus as well now, so even that is solved now.
Ads are bad in the sense that they introduce bias (imagine your biggest advertiser pulls out because you publish a story about X, and staff needs to put bread on their families’ tables). That said, yeah, no ads does not automatically mean fair reporting.

Organizations and individuals doing journalist work are in a weird position where they have to have a degree of selflessness/idealism in order to do a good job, and subscribers need to trust that they have it.
Yeah, I agree with you about the Ethereum part.
> it's no more decentralised than the internet

Much, much less so, really. Good luck pulling something like the big Ethereum shift that produced Ethereum Classic with the internet... We still aren't even on ipv6.
Competitor brick quality is on par or better than Lego at least for some. You need to do a little research on which competitors use which brick producer, but for example the bricks I’ve had in the Mould King sets were absolutely indistinguishable from Lego bricks in quality.

I thought the whole point of a true refactoring was that it should not lead to any changes in outwardly visible behavior. If you're changing what the code does, that should absolutely be pointed out, regardless of whether it's phrased as "clean up".
>So yeah, it's more dangerous than the stereotypical example of a cycling paradise, but it's not some sort of hellscape.

Last week I had somebody do a really close pass at 50 or 60 mph. It was obviously an attempt at intimidation and to some extent it worked, it did make me think about why I cycle rather than drive. That sort of thing is going to put off a lot of people which is why we need a lot more infrastructure.

This is rural Oxfordshire though.
> The difficulty arise from the complexity of the problems to solve.

What problems are those exactly? It's my impression that Wayland (the protocol) just creates problems without solving any.

> Wayland is just one part of the big efforts that are ongoing

Yes. The anti-user anti-general-purpose-computing anti-freedom efforts. Trying to create a world where device owners may use their devices only for a set of approved actions such as browsing Instagram and Tiktok. When someone speaks against it, they are attacked with FUD, and "security" is called upon. Does that remind you of anything?

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but hear me out: the issue of social and physical comfort in public transit is probably at least as important as the issue of efficiency. In public transit, the expectation of adhering to a social contract is almost non-existent. Women deal with creepy gropers, everyone deals with the smell of urine, and of course there's the ubiquitous annoyance of music played over phone speakers (or worse, bluetooth).

If you want people to prefer to take transit, and you should want that, you need to deal with the lack of a social contract on public transit. That means, in other words, that behavior not tolerated in a private business (such as a bar or restaurant) can't be tolerated on public transit either.

For urban liberals, that means confronting some uncomfortable choices. A public space (and transit is public) is supposed to be open to all, but if we want public spaces to be livable, that probably means smells and behaviors are more tightly regulated in public, either through direct enforcement by transit police (unlikely) or more social pressure (also unlikely).

There's a lot of evidence that the inflows to NFTs are extremely small, and that the VAST majority of NFT sales are wash trades.

Why would anyone do this when the fees to trade are so high? Everyone thinks the end goal is to fake it until you make it, and sell the wash-traded pumped up tokens to an unsuspecting victim.

It's not.

The goal is to create fake wealth from nothing. There are banks now that will lend using NFTs as collateral.

You get millions of dollars in loans, then you spend millions, then you go bankrupt. Oopsie.

I know that .NET is cross-platform, that was not my point. I'm referring to the parts where the article specifically mentions Windows API. How do I do the same on macOS and Linux? Is it even possible?
Exactly. Code can pass 100% of tests--but the tests only cover what the test writer knows about. Code, especially old code, can encapsulate TONS of weird human and business specific behavior that you don't know about or doesn't seem sensible at a quick glance. Don't be so quick to dismiss old code--people rarely set out to build something thats shitty and code, especially code that seems completely asinine, is rarely just in there for the lulz.

I'm pleased you said that, because we also have a mixture, but most of the sets that were built were broken up and are now in communal boxes. This seems pretty unusual compared to most parents, I guess it's mostly because the parents don't want things to get mixed up. In theory we could rebuild according to the instructions, but in reality it's never going to happen as it would take so long to find all the pieces. Almost every day my kids (Boy 6, Girl, 8) do free play with the mixed lego, sometimes for hours. I'm really pleased with it, as it makes a good break from Youtube etc.
The change in immigration patterns in terms of numbers of immigrants and origins, post WWII is striking to me. I knew immigration patterns had changed but didn't realize how much, that they changed so much specifically postwar, and how heterogeneity had increased so much.

Sometimes I think immigration patterns need more attention, as indicators of other things. The number of displaced persons/refugees worldwide is very high right now, for example.

As a minor thing, it makes me wonder about current political tensions in the US. Looking at some of these figures makes me wonder if we're living in more of an unusual era relative to the last couple of centuries than I've realized. Again, not with reference to immigrants per se, but with reference to whatever is associated with such magnitude of sociodemographic pattern change.
Just like the art market.

This is not interesting or worthy of an article, The Atlantic must be having a slow day. Everything popular always has its most ardent haters, just look at any big tech company like Google, Facebook or popstar like Justin Bieber, Drake, etc. This is not unique to crypto. Anything that attracts such enormous wealth is naturally going to attract the get-rich-quick schemers, scammers, charlatans, moonbois, etc. Any bold new concepts and grandiose claims like web3 and NFTs will be met with skepticism just like anytime a popular tech platform redesigns its UI or algorithm.

Virtually all of the extreme vitriol is pure nonsense and entirely misplaced. People bashing NFTs because jpegs of apes are selling for millions are completely missing the point. It's equivalent to bashing the email protocol because of the existence of spammers, or hating tech in 2001 because of pets.com. A grammy-winning artist yesterday wrote a nice thread about how NFTs have changed his life by enabling him to better monetize his work [1]

Not to excuse scammers/spammers and charlatans because obviously that stuff is irritating. I personally despite the crappy NFT art collections selling for millions, NFT profile pictures, Ponzi-like play-to-earn crypto games as much as any hater. But I'm also aware that nobody is forcing me to buy a digital ape or play Axie Infinity, and that stuff is only a tiny fraction of what NFTs and crypto enable.

It's important to realize that we're still in very very early stages, not even the first inning of the web3 decentralized future, so at this point much of the talk is just prophecy. But there's no doubt in my mind that crypto, smart contracts, and decentralized technology (eg. IPFS) enable a ton of applications that were not possible before. Rather than fixating on bored apes, I'd rather focus on the real innovation (eg. with defi, zero knowledge proofs, DAOs, NFTs with real application, IPFS) and join in on building the future.

I see your Chesterton's fence and raise a Gell-Mann amnesia. Yes, the phenomenon in the article is real, but the opposite is also true. Many times I have seen something, thought it is silly, wrong, or could be done better, but I reserved judgement because I didn't know much about the subject. And then in the end, I was right.

Be it some technical choice at work that had obvious flaws. Or when we were renovating our house and as a layperson I noticed a serious problem the experts didn't see. Or when I was reading about poststructuralism, or critical theory at university. I had a feeling it was just a lot of word games around a couple important ideas - then I put in the work and read books and went to courses, and yupp, that was basically true.

Looking at it from the other side, as an expert on some topics, I know there are a lot of things we do that are not justified by the "subject matter" but we just do them because we have always been doing them, or because a pointy haired boss decided so. Or we have operational blindness and can't notice the flaws anymore.
Drat. I knew I shouldn't've gone off memory. (Wikipedia says it's a Merle Travis song.)
I have literally no idea how you can think that's what they're trying to say. I believe you, I'm not saying it's BS, I just can't see the path to it. Somebody slightly-awkwardly making the point that (they believe) modern schooling is doing more harm than good to the development of children in no way implies the claim that children should not have teachers, or be taught, or that somehow shakespeare didn't need to learn lessons from people about english or life. These counterpoints to an idea that isn't present are the worst form of strawman.
JavaScript: the language that can barely understand itself is better than PHP! The language, where JetBrain's IDE (arguably one of the best IDEs when it comes to understanding languages, consistently better than any LSPs among other things) can barely understand it fully, is better than PHP! The language that has consistently added new features, but have yet to fix horrible messes of legacy design.

The majority of Gary Bernhardt's 2012 talk "wat"[0] is still relevant today with JavaScript. PHP's devs at least are actively trying to address the majority of issues people have had problems with, and have done so successfully for many of the issues it had.

In my opinion the only thing JavaScript has going for it over PHP is its ability to develop frontend and backend code using the same language, but then, you know, you'll need a million NPM dependencies if you pull in some of the simplest packages.

Until TypeScript takes over JavaScript I refuse to believe anyone who understands either languages fully prefers JS over PHP. I've yet to dabble in Deno, but I'm hoping that it also addresses much of the issues with JS, but I'm doubtful since it's also based on V8.

Wired had an unsuccessful IPO attempt in 1996. Condé Nast bought the print magazine in 1998. Lycos owned the digital properties until 2006 when they were sold back to CN.
Append-only, cryptographically verified, distributed databases are a good idea with some useful applications, and I'm sure they'll spread as tech infrastructure just like e.g. stream processing has in the last few years. But that seems barely related to the whole crypto phenomenon which inherently relies on destructive proof-of-work (maybe proof-of-stake will turn out to work at scale but I'm dubious) which in turn requires everything to have financial value and be pumped and presumably eventually dumped.
