I actually prefer IRC over Discord. I'm not sure why. Discord feels a bit excessive in its features. I don't like the bots. It doesn't handle multiple channels well, not as well as Slack, and yet something about it makes people do so many, unlike IRC. There's the mess of roles/self roles.

There's just something about it that encourages overcommunication. You have announcement channels that people just tell you to mute if you don't like announcements but, well, you miss out on all the announcements. The logging means that too much documentation goes on in a server, alongside memes and motivational posts.

I've actually been playing a game where all spoiler related chat goes in channels that get cleared every 3 days. 90% of the conversation is spoiler related. This is a lot more pleasant - things get documented off discord, and yet there's plenty of chatter and banter.
But what you described does not match my behavior at all. Not the one of my friends. It sounds like logical theory, sure.

And it is completely at odds with how I buy things. Or how people I know buy things.

> I still maintain that people who have bought a TV yesterday are more likely to buy a TV today than people who haven't bought a TV yesterday.

I never ever seen anyone buy second TV shortly after buying first one. Never.

> Amazon showing me a TV ad doesn't preclude Amazon from showing me a kitchen utensil ad on the next page.

I get monothematic ads. There is always that one thing that follows me everywhere. I don't get mix of ads. It is as if their system thought I buy only shoes. Or only TV.
Yes but this question was specifically about “the arts”, which is pretty unambiguous.
Fossil fuels, specially petroleum, is heavily taxed in all countries. Of every liter of gasoline, approximately 70%-80% of the price goes to taxes.

Also, there's no such thing as EU states, like there's US states. In Europe, there's member countries.
> though ethically it is frowned upon.

That’s a bit ridiculous. Just about everyone does their best to minimize the taxes they pay.

Where would you draw the line? The lawmakers drew one, but apparently you aren’t entirely happy with that.
A merger of state and privatized power asserts a monopoly on virtue and truth
“Conservatives and libertarians must reckon with the fact that a jurisprudence and governing philosophy that sought to aggrandize the rights of private actors to rule without any outside interference is foundational to the emerging progressive social credit system

“Sh-tty person" is not a category protected under any civil rights statute or equal protection clause. So the political struggle has been to define who fits that category -- a struggle which the culturally hegemonic party has dominated completely since T-u-p's election.

Ever since November 2016 the political opposition has been an insurrectionary rabbIe in the eyes of that hegemonic party, even when it held all three branches of government...

The politics of morally policing contrary views out of circulation through administrative fiat that campus administrators perfected was easily translated to the domain of the tech monopolies after T-u-p’s victory

First to deplatform the bad people, then to practice partisan politics under the guise of "fighting Russian disinformation" (the Hunter Biden story), now to simply push out anyone not on script who can be plausibly accused of endangering lives with heresy (Rogan)

Now wherever resistance to state mandates, regardless of how irrational or unscientific those mandates might be, is instantly portrayed as a menacing danger colluding with hate and violence

The vertically integrated messaging apparatus moves to cut off the oxygen to such movements by manufacturing consensus and pressuring those who enable it to pull away from it Thus a merger of state and privatized power asserts a monopoly on virtue and truth and operationalizes it through the tech monopolies that control speech

Rogan grew to his size under the prior system; like Martin Luther, he may have become his own sovereign entity too big to completely purge without risking other worse consequences from the standpoint of the regime.

But the system now knows to nip any future figure in the bud. “
I turned off ad targeting wherever possible, but Meta is one of the few that don't allow you to and I still see targeted ads on Instagram.

I've been thinking of getting a new backpack, and I got backpack ads. However, while I get "ads" -- plural -- they're all from the same single vendor selling a "last bag you'll ever need" that doesn't look all that good. It's frustrating more than helping, the exact reason why I turned off ad targeting in the first place.

Years ago I turned targeting back on in Google, and it just meant I got spammed with Pebble ads (>50% of the banners everywhere were Pebble) because I kept checking their website for a sale (at the time they did occasional 2-3 day sales without advertising them, weird given the banner budget). I just turned it off again after that experience.
That is brilliant. Especially the part where you teach this to others.

I can't help but wonder, how much more time did you spent on all of this, since you would presumably still need to do the assignment?
Maybe the ground workers should be primary shareholders then?

I don't see how Bezos adds any value, I legitimately don't.
Yup. I've discovered and bought things on Instagram countless of times from ads.

I can't say the same for YouTube or Google: all ads I see on Google and YouTube are crap. Ads I see on Instagram/Facebook are actually high quality.

YMMV.

They're statements, not meant to be practical for the most part.

You can literally buy lightly used smaller cruise ships substantially cheaper than most super yachts - the cost is in customized expensive interior and in operating the thing with a large crew, not in the "bare" ship structure per se.

They're attractive to some exactly because the barrier to having one is far higher than for a luxury penthouse, to the point that the biggest ones are known by name and recognisable wherever they go because there are so few of them.

I think there are some elements of the XMP it is trying to make sense of, and perhaps failing. Or possibly the XMP-reading code is in production but none of the decoding is yet. Or maybe it will get keywords from XMP but nothing else? Not sure.

The thing is, XMP is not any kind of independent standard; it's largely a set of instructions specific to Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop. I do think we should expect them ultimately to be able to interpret most of it, and I half expect them to support XMP in their eventual DAM product as one sidecar type, (which is why I think there is probably code in Photo that is ready to read it) but they don't commit to it yet.

I must say that if I process a raw file in one package then open it up in a competitor's raw processing package, I expect the second to ignore the work of the first

The main thing that the suite really can't do is a Bridge-type function, though.
It depends where and when, I find that Instagram/Meta ads sometimes work for me, and Amazon related items occasionally do too. But more often than not (I wrote in another comment) I get ads in a category I am interested in, but from one of the many brands that sell a marked-up "recycled polyester fabric! 50% off!" type of thing that's clearly worse than "real" brands, like a backpack worse than the one I'm trying to replace.

You say that Web3 and NFT results in more transparency.

But I work for a bank and our money laundering systems and processes automatically kick in for suspicious transactions and those over a certain amount. We will freeze transactions until we conduct due diligence aiming to identity the true parties e.g by unsheathing shell companies as well as the nature and intent of the transaction.

And this is through a range of methods including requesting supplemental documentation and involving law enforcement.

Can you clarify for any of the million dollar Bored Ape Yacht Club purchases who the true parties are given that supposedly this information can be derived from the blockchain ?
I run adblockers for the same reason. I’m not against ads or supporting sites via ads, and I actually want something new to try. But all ads I see fall into two categories: already bought it for a couple of weeks. Or completely irrelevant, which I never click.

They have everything on me: my age, sex, social state and circles, location, life habits, profession, work hours, sleep hours, movie and porn preferences, which non-entertainment topics I’m interested in, which medical issues I have, and probably 50 more properties I never thought about.

But I never clicked on any nonsense they tried to advertise to me. I see nothing new, nothing interesting, nothing relevant to my life in ads. None of my new interests ever came from these flashy boxes.
So we have 33 smart people and not one was able to double check the facts, read the bibliography, spot the falsehoods and use the most basic level of critical thinking in their own paper. Or just don't cared because boring science will not bring grants to the table.

To start "There are zillions of planets that could have life" equals to "As they are many, there must be a link with earth. Every rock in the galaxy must cross the earth orbit eventually". Do we have a lot of samples of soil from Saturn in the planet? And don't made me talk about the idea of those octopus pointing a luminous tentacle to the sky and saying "my caave". Biologists know that this planet is perfectly able to made things much more weird than that.

Well if you’re gonna do that, you might as well have it accompany a star to give it energy for that journey.

Add a gas giant or two (or 4) to protect it against incoming space debris and help stabilize orbits.

Add some neighboring rocks to also help with that + give them extra material to use once they arrive.

Implant ideas of leaving the rock and coming from a place of great power into the colony’s generational memory.

Include some infrastructure to aid them.
You don't need to use strong words like "dictate", "disaster", "nuts" to hyperbole a normal situation/discussion to extremeties.

In the case of COVID, it was as simple as listening to the experts as they learned things and as the virus evolved. No need for the president to suggest medicines/treatments to general public. Let the doctors/medical personnel do their job.

Following that there has been so much mud slinging/disinformation/distraction intending to make it a political issue rather than public health issue and they have succeeded to some extent.

I am going to be selfish and ask that the businesses/websites that I visit don't partake/promote/be-in-league with any of this nonsense. I want them to promote science if the general govt + media system doesn't do it. I am just sad that businesses take so long to make a stand, they fix a situation rather than preventing it in the first place.

I cringe with so many web3 conversations assuming that it will replace the current web. It’ll be a layer of abstraction on top of it, the same way web 2.0 was on 1.0. Also, no one’s going to flip a switch and turn the web into something new. Finally, people tend to neglect other populations that likely won’t have access to crypto wallets, such as kids. Those will still use web 2.0, as defined here.

Yes, but you have to sue over it. For most people, it's probably not worth it. Besides, since it's a private company, equity is what the board/executives say it is.
Unfortunately "not implementing a feature" is not my decision most of the time.

Most of the time we need to convince some customer that we can implement what he needs because even though everything is there "they are super special".

If you start with saying no - you won't get a sale, our sales of course try to explain that we are quite successful SaaS solution so they probably could work in way we propose and won't have to pay for custom development.

Mind you that it most of the time is not purely technical but often it is checking if they can get what they want so to say "checking the waters" if we are responsible vendor.

Sometimes it is just asserting dominance by asshole manager of a big company to see how far will company bend over to win the contract.

Good part is most of the time we simply get paid for "custom development" but the downside is when 1 year or 2 later such customer goes away this code stays and is not that useful for other customers.

So even if those customers pay quite a lot for custom dev, they externalize cost of software maintenance to SaaS vendor. Because I don't believe anyone is factoring that in the price even if customer pays monthly fees for 2 years, if he goes away we are left with dead code and even removing it costs money as you still have to do regression testing.
Oh yes, that's the other Android calculator. The one in which you can't arbitrarily edit the input field, only backspace from the right. Especially frustrating when modifying expression with parentheses.
I don't think there's any model for anything that's immune to over-extrapolation.

A weather prediction model is going to hold for a few days and probably break by the end of the week. If Peterson thinks this is the kind of model that they actually use to model the climate over several centuries, he is either mistaken, or attacking a straw man. But I'm intrigued enough to actually listen to the podcast in case there's some missing context. If I can find the time and it hasn't been deleted by Spotify yet.

You aren't old. I'm really into crypto and relatively young. I've stayed away from the "crypto realm" for about a year and still playing catch up as a person who was involved in it.

There's just too much going on.
I'm not married to my theory, "It sounds like logical theory, sure" is pretty much all I'd like to get out of my comment.

I simply cannot believe that this superficially irrational behaviour is as irrational as always asserted on HN.

The big companies are spending a gazillion dollars on ad tech, and while I believe that there is lots of stupid money floating around, I don't believe it's so obviously irrational. Just look at behavioral biology or psychology how much of seemingly irrational or downright stupid behaviour makes a lot of sense when you find the right vantage point.

Unfortunately, there will probably nobody come forward and tell us how it really is, so we can only speculate and build our own pet theories.

The flag for marketing etc. should be automated, I understand account-related emails like billing not having "unsubscribe" links but promotions definitely need one. Clicking that would then toggle the flag (and maybe have one in their account panel).
> DLL’s add a level of complexity to writing and using software, and newer languages like Rust and Go have eschewed them,

Yeah, no. Every sane compiler developer would always prefer DLLs over static linking because of modularity. It makes the compiler much smaller if you can defer the combination of modules to a linker and thus have proper separate compilation.

Unfortunately, separate compilation with a C-like ABI only works well with a relatively limited monomorphic language. All other languages would have to leave quite a few optimizations on the table or make some suboptimal choices for uniform object representation (compare OCaml's ABI with Rust or Haskell).

Consequently, a modern language would face the tremendous (but I think interesting) task to extend the C-ABI in a way that allows these optimizations and separate compilation. Understandably, developers then play down the importance of separate compilation and choose a global approach.
I really like the idea of using my huge steam and gog game libraries, but 0.45/h for the lowest configuration is way too expensive. I use stadia, bought some games, play a lot (hundreds of hours) and I like it, simply I'll not buy more games. I like the service, not expensive at all and ideal for my not competitive game habits. I will not be happy if the service will die.

I love R. Once you get it, there is something beautiful about its functional approach. I like using either tidyverse or data.table with pipes, split, map, reduce. The code looks like layers of a filter that data flows through.
Whatever it is, it isn’t a dragnet.
You're right. That was stupid. We fixed it. How's this?
We did look at `jo`, and also `jarg`[0], the W3C HTML JSON form syntax[1], and pretty much every other approach we could find. We had quite a few requirements that the new nested syntax had to meet: be simple/flexible, easy to read/write, backward/forward compatible, and play well with the rest of the HTTPie request language.

The final syntax is heavily inspired by the HTML JSON forms one. But we made it stricter, added type safety, and some other features. It also supports all the existing functionality like embedding raw JSON strings and JSON/text files by paths.

The final implementation[2] is completely custom. We have plans to ship it as a standalone tool as well, publish the test suite in a language-independent format and write a formal spec so that other tools can easily adopt it. This spec will eventually be a subset of one for the overall HTTPie request language, which is currently tied to our CLI implementation but we want to decouple it.

I think that these bills will have not only a chilling effect over free speech, but also reduce the overall safety of citizens, both of which are truly bad things. And make no mistake, many countries will follow the lead of USA, UK and Australia in taking these steps.

On the plus side, moving free speech outside the moderation of big tech and, by extension, big-government, is a good thing. And that will happen the moment people realize that they are liable for CSAM crimes for posting photos of bread and having a stupid AI flag them, or referring to their cat as "my kid" in a tweet. People with a strong political opinion on bread or otherwise will need to find high-effort platforms to publish those opinions, i.e. magazines, books, and (eventually) face-to-face meetups. My perhaps over-optimistic hope is that this will attenuate the rage-by-tweet phenomenon, we will get back to thinking before publicly expressing something, and people will only get mobilized after informing themselves properly on a subject. Even if this is a "count your blessings" attitude.

Thank you - much appreciated.

The quality, morals and perception of our product and how we treat people matters to me greatly which is why I'm always happy to get involved in discussions like this.

As is evidenced from other post on this topic, there are a number of competitors that don't behave in the same way and that leads people to think we are all the same and I absolutely want to challenge that perception when it comes to us.

I just finished it and haven't sat down to write a proper review yet.

But I thought it was very uneven in value.

The parts about deep and shallow modules, what good interfaces are, _why_ keeping everything about their implementation hidden is so important -- those were very good.

He also advocated against having small routines, which are almost dogma nowadays (mostly because they're easier to unit test), and he's pretty convincing. That would mean that "making your code easier to test also improves its design" is wrong.

Other parts about documentation etc I thought were too long and not very interesting. Then the bit at the end about optimizing for execution speed was very interesting again, though perhaps because I had never read much on the subject, before, I don't know.

Yes, read it, it's an interesting contribution.
