This is the real argument for things like UBI and simple tax credits, that often goes unnoticed. Giving poor people money doesn't need to have outstanding effects to be worthwhile, it just needs to be better than the existing mess of overlapping institutional red tape. This goes for healthcare too. Get rid of complex government assistance, and put money in Singapore-style health savings accounts, that people can draw from for insurance payments or simple "cash" expenses. One of the things that are most clearly needed in the healthcare sector is direct consumer discipline, and HSAs provide that.
I'll add why Cloudflare is cheaper: it's subsidised. The fee for their own operations is $0.00, they expect you to use their other services though, which is paid.
Well, then, you must know it's not really a big deal to write code with proper memory checks.
a manufacturing company is designed the ground up to works whit machine but isn't the same whit software, is hard to understand that triple data isn't only triple server but a totaly different software stack, and exponentially more complex is not only put more factories like textile.

Have you? I used to write device drivers mostly on ARM architectures and I have newer seen an instruction which would let me precisely control CPU instruction ordering or what it does with cache that I couldn't do in C.
another lovely one is COBRA health insurance coverage after losing your job; you gain the privilege of both being out of work AND paying for health insurance out of your own pocket
I don't know if they offer that feature. I use reddit enhancement suite and mobile clients for the functionality (allows for filtering even if not signed in or don't have an account).

You once claimed C requires UNIX like OS to run.
Not necessarily; see https://github.com/LinusHenze/Fugu14/blob/master/Writeup.pdf for example. It's a full chain that repeatedly escalates privileges without exploiting any memory safety bugs by tricking privileged subsystems into giving it more access than it should have, all the way up through and beyond kernel code execution.

Implementation Pitfalls of OKRs
A compelling introduction but not really sure how the connections are made.

Comparing the general value of more things in an ecosystem representing passive or neutral characteristics as a net positive.

I think the other examples are different given the “addition by subtraction” of these things improving with the natural evolution / diminishing effect of them.
I don't think Apple is shipping anything customer facing that's built on Rust?

There is no meaningful distinction between the two.

> Zero-click describes an issue on a client system where usually a user would have to click something to trigger it, but doesn't as parsing/processing happens before the user actually sees anything (e.g. via an SMS on a phone).

Historically these have been referred to as RCE.

FWIW You are essentially describing a service listening on the network. It’s silly to try to make an artificial distinction based on some irrelevant L4 differences.
No, and the harder you try to do so, the worse you make it.

It's called the "Streisand Effect"

Also note that every major Nation-State has an intelligence service that has a copy of most internet communications. You'll never be able to review, let alone modify that data.
I saw the ads and it definitely was ambiguous whether builder.ai and AI were working together or not. Looks like Builder.ai is simply trying to cash in on the buzz around the Tata group taking over Air India.

Otoh, AI threatening legal action gives too much weight to a dumbass ad campaign. They should have trotted out a spokesperson to poke fun at a unsolicited gift saying they’re returning it to sender.
Could CHT be something like PCL line drawing commands or similar?
The Lasting Legacy of Redlining
Interesting. I think the field of using electronic brain stimulation to help disease is moving forward in a good direction compared to the lobotomies and craziness of the 60s. That seems to be what you’ve linked here.

I’m talking about a simple, non intrusive way of testing someone’s mental health without talking to them. That stills seems far off on the horizon. Maybe some MRI research might be able to take us into the future in that regard.
I swear, the "facts" that are flatly asserted on this site, with zero questioning or critical thought, seem roughly equivalent to the "election was stolen!" facts that you find in other echo chambers.
I definitely don't miss tinkering with Autoexec.bat, config.sys or xmodeconfig/fvwmrc for that matter.

Thanks to OS X killing the market for desktop UNIX, Nadella realised that many developers don't really care about Linux, they are more than happy for whatever runs their POSIX toys, and since UNIX for better or worse won the cloud war, then it should be in the box.

The irony that OS X and a Linux based VM on Windows are the winners for running UNIX stuff on laptops.
So this isn't directly related but is in a similar veind. There's a book I read called persuasion bt a Dr. Robert Calidni which is about demonstrating various types of subconscious tricks to get someone to be compliant. However one of the parts of the book I found interesting was he also noted that many of these tricks of persuasion would be made to disappear if the you brought someone's attention to the trigger. E.g people are less complaint when the weather outside is bad; however if you start by asking someone how the weather is the effect disappears.

I take the whole book with a grain of salt since the whole of social psychology is full of tons of issues right now but it is interesting, especially when one considers the beneficial effects of meditation that have been observed when that is mostly about sitting and becoming aware of your body and your feelings.
There is much more to that than just a new name.
Facebook basically pivoted as a company. Now, if you have stock, you are an investor into a company with a different focus, different risks, different name, a different future, etc.
if Google renamed the company to Alphabet saying that they will now focus on producing alphabet soup their stock would also tank.
"MIT researcher Tamay Besiroglu joined OpenAI cofounder Ilya Sutskever in warning that some machine learning AI may have achieved a limited form of sentience,"

The definition of "sentience" is missing which means the phrase "limited form of sentience" is meaningless. Provide a definition of "sentience" that is testable and can distinguish sentience from non-sentience.

Oh, your robot dog "knows" when you enter a room? That's amazing! So does my motion-detecting light switch. Neural nets recognize patterns? So does statistical pattern recognition, a field I studied in the 1970s. Reinforcement "deep learning"? Wow. You've discovered Norbert Wiener's work circa 1950.

The students get a failing grade.

I realize there is "big money" in the game. I realize Elon Musk is involved. He is someone I greatly respect and admire. I've used the OpenAI gym. I'm researching using deep neural nets for self-reproducing systems (to terraform Mars). I've looked into the reinforcement learning and the associated math. I have a deep background in robotics. I've built AI-related systems most of my life. It really annoys me to see "market-speak" nonsense pollute the research.

It is this kind of ill-founded market-speak that led to the first AI winter.

Such language is a cancer that will again grow into another AI winter.

Your achievements are amazing. Please stop trying to anthropomorphise them.
Bugs in Apple's Music apps have essentially nothing to do with it being written in C++ and Objective-C (and these days a significant portion of it is JavaScript and Swift).
How do other useful not-for-profit services cover operating costs? I bet we don't need to reinvent the Wikimedia Foundation for this.

I believe that, it actually reads like it was written by someone at Splunk! Very little detail about what they are logging and why - it's a surprisingly poor article that is little more than a crappy ad for Splunk.
The answer is a high tax on the unimproved value of land (Georgism). Makes land speculation and investment unprofitable, and property values to drop overall, so homes also become more affordable.
User-Centered Design Is Killing Innovation
This is a religious debate among many. The IT/engineering nerd stuff doesn’t matter at all. Cloud migration decisions are always made by accounting and tax factors.

I run two critical apps, one on-prem and one cloud. There is no difference in people cost, and the cloud service costs about 20% more on the infrastructure side. We went cloud because customer uptake was unknown and making capital investments didn’t make sense.

I’ve had a few scenarios where we’ve moved workloads from cloud to on-prem and reverse. These things are tools and it doesn’t pay to be dogmatic.
Hugo supports org-mode natively. It's not a very widely known feature but it does work.
have you actually seen the ad?

they're pretending there is partnership between them and Air India but there is none

then they use Air India trademarks for their own advertisement

then they start a contest on behalf of Air India

imho, they definitely should be getting sued
Just teach them to be responsible in their use. It can be done at any age, I'm sure it's just people treat cjoldren like dogs or something instead off little humans.
The entire financial industry is built upon a foundation of entering sensitive information all over the place.

Swipe cards gave merchants your credit card number. Checks still give the recipient and every intermediary your full account and routing number. When you pay at any website, you’re entering in your full credit card number.

Modern finance is a teetering stack of measures designed to account for this and handle cases where fraud or other malice occur.
Quickbooks for a startup makes a lot of sense. Pretty much any accountant you would hire has basic familiarity with it.

Invoicing is built in, with a payments option you can turn on. Easy to set up and decent API and starter apps.

I would also add Carta if you have or want investors. Keeping good records of the cap structure from the start is so much easier than trying to fix it later.
Using another company's brand deceptively is a textbook example of trademark infringement.

Being cavalier about it won't do good in court either. RIP Builder.ai
> But if you're implying that money exists to force people to work I'd consider the possibility that you're describing what is essentially a form of slavery. Or at least extreme political control.

Bingo. Many people do =not realize that calling money for labor "wage slavery" was a term used in the 1700's and was common even into the 1940's. It was even uttered by Hiddy in the 1940's movie "His Girl Friday".

So are people who do not want UBI are pro slavery? That is a good question. If you think about the one common complaint that UBI will mean people will not work, just this about that in the terms of a plantation owner talking about his slaves.

https://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/disp_textbook.cfm?smtid=2&...

"Because slaves had no direct incentive to work hard, slaveowners combined harsh penalties with positive incentives. Some masters denied passes to disobedient slaves. Others confined recalcitrant slaves to private jails."

They even tried instilling a "positive mindset" in the slave!

How is this that much different than our current system?
Short of not using those apps, no.
It matters in principle, but probably not in practice.

If it comes down to choosing who next to make rich off search, why reward those who've already benefited creating the modern status quo?

And if these people were passionate about end user privacy and rights, their positions within Alphabet we're much better poised to make a difference than spinning up a new search engine.

Maybe their experience makes them perfect to compete and their intentions are good. Search is too ripe with opportunity and too difficult to keep useful that a regression towards profit at all costs is mandatory.

If tracking and targeted ads are a given, just give me the ability to blacklist seo spam, unwanted ads, and other low quality content. That's the killer app. Track away, just give me some control.
it's exhausting but can be fun if you have a competent team to support you. I like nothing more than being told "one TPU chip in this data center is bad. Find it efficiently at priority 0."
I did at first, but then learning config management and taking smaller bites helped.

I started out as a systems administrator and it's evolved into doing that more and faster. The tooling helps me get there, but I did have to learn how to give better estimates.
No, however, we have a command which exports a version of PDF file with embedded notes and highlights.
I agree that simply pushing a positive mindset is useless because that's not really something you can push unless if you're talking about a parent to your child. However, that isn't to say that a positive mindset is useless. I tutor poor kids and overall, there is definitely a difference between the attitudes of immigrant children and those born into intergenerational poverty. Immigrants tend to take their educational background seriously, where's an alarmingly high number of people born into intergenerational poverty accept the status quo that they're in. This is historically observable as well (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/28/upshot/immigration-americ...).

Also, I disagree that the government actually is trying to foster a positive mindset to begin with. Welfare is systemically structured to award victimhood (e.g. welfare cliffs).
> the only way to have produced zero emissions was to not mine the bitcoin at all

Yes, obviously. And what's the downside of that?
While I am grateful you list the options for many, please understand I was in a position where I was too "rich" for all these options (more than 25k), but too poor for effective insurance ($45k+)

I don't feel this is a trivial range, and yet, sub $65 seem to have special rules that add a ridiculous amount of stress.

I din't want children because I didn't want to raise a child who had fight for basic comforts. I personally don't want a child for the purpose of qualifying for a break, and I've not felt the desire to raise a child on the "chance" that some payouts will work.

Checking a few of the items you metnioned, I'm glad you did as they're not known tot me, but it seems risky, and the conditions that forbid me to qualify are too great/ambiguous.

Again, I cannot stress how relaxing it is to be in Russia of all places and be told "MRI? 4000 rubles" _before_ I take the MRI, when the same MRI in the US has a variable cost only delivered _after_ the procedure. This stresses me out immensely.

When I was last in the US temporarily, I had an ear infection, and since I had no insurance, medication cost me $450 for a week's worth of pills; abroad, this cost me $10

I cannot stress enough that it's not about the potential to circumvent the systems that the US has, it's about the base out of pocket cost and how you are penalized for not participating in the US healthcare system. I grant there might bee another answer, but somehow the rest of the world uses the same machines/analyses and can charge far less. It's only the US where I was afraid to even go to the hospital _with insurance_ when I might have broken my ribs on the off-chance I'd be denied.

yes, I could fight it, but after 10+ hours, this is almost a part-time/full-time job to get what I've already paid for. If I already paid, why do I have to spend my time to get what is rightfully mine?
Strangely the official Google Camera app also started crashing on an original Pixel phone soon after the Pixel 6 & Android 12 related app updates were launched (despite being stuck on an older version of android as it's beyond its lifetime expectancy / planned obsolescence).

Various other apps that use the camera aren't effected
This is a strange article that has no real sources, makes a broad conjecture about an entire field of research, then goes into tangents about homeopathy, Tik Tok, and religion.

And yet somehow, it feels par for the course when it comes to pop-science microbiome discussion. The entire field of microbiome research has been greatly overhyped despite very mixed and lackluster results in studies. You can go out and find individual studies claiming that certain gut bacteria are associated with certain conditions or that certain probiotics are associated with certain outcomes, but it’s much harder to find those results replicated again or even proven out in the real world, with a few minor exceptions.

Meanwhile, the more philosophically minded writers have latched on to all of this uncertainty and ambiguity as an opening to inject their own pet theories or hypothesize that various disease stages are related to something vague with the microbiome. It’s reminiscent of how misunderstandings of quantum physics are often used to justify quack theories because the reader may not know how to separate quantum physics fact from fiction.

I’m still optimistic that some value will come from microbiome research, but it’s not going to come from wandering blog posts like this.
>due to C not having good expressive/abstracting powers

I disagree, if anything, C's scantness forces you to abstract things much properly, unless you plan to write pages of boilerplate code here and there.
That's nothing.

that cage is a liability, not an asset. How is the networking in that rack? What's its connection to large-scale storage (IE, petabytes, since that's what I work with). What happens if a meteor hits the cage? Etc.
For sure rural jobs aren’t a great fit for public transportation. But most people commuting to work by car are commuting to offices, retail stores, restaurants, and other places in semi-densely populated areas that could be better served by public transit.
Where is your evidence for all of this? I showed you mine. Your turn.

These are all just talking points.
A super reductive way of explaining it is it's because a lot of state actors (including NSA) have a lot of skin in the game through active, deep investment in the cyber weapon market. State actors strongly incentivize the 'attack' side of the market while companies historically disincentivize the 'defense' side. A solid elucidation of the system (for laypeople like me) can be found in Nicole Perlroth's book "This is How They Tell Me the World Ends": https://browse.nypl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb22352302__STh...

> Fecal transplants have proven effective for treating a range of diseases

They can be very effective for C. diff infections, but beyond that it’s not as much of a wonder treatment as the initially hype suggested. There have been a lot of startups and researchers working on this space with very lackluster results (outside of C. diff, that is)
While I haven't seen it work very well, it's not the case that it's impossible. My mother has been the superintendent at a number of places in the rural southwest. They manage to get the kids to school via bus.

So it isn't the case that rural public transportation simply can't work.

Potential ancestors who didn't experience the dread of possibly being watched from the tall grass were more likely to be eaten. And so we begin to believe in the unseen.
Musk has done great things, but he's wrong about vision alone being good enough. The assertion that humans use vision alone to drive is nice marketing, but not good enginnering. Vision is easily fooled. Lidar and radar provide very valuable information, especially in emergency situations, and ensuring failsafes can be implemented.
It's nice for stuff you might want to reference later:

I learnt it via the org babel way too and published my notes when I finished the chapters of the book: https://psibi.in/awk/

The whole interactive experience of evaluating awk script and tinkering with it in a single place, greatly helped while learning it.
It's interesting that you seem to perceive this as a fault in those experiencing generational poverty, rather than one of its effects.
I'm wondering why Hugo wants you to install homebrew. It's a Go program. Shouldn't downloading a binary be all you need? Or maybe building it from source? The Go SDK doesn't require Homebrew.
Probably an order of magnitude less than was put in to creating that environment ;)
The speccie certainly helped kickstart my computer science career. Sinclair BASIC made for a friendly programming experience, and once outgrown, I enjoyed learning the intricacies of Z80 programming. Even the attribute color system where each 8x8 block of pixels had one dedicated color byte including a foreground color, background color, and I think brightness and flash bits, proved very charming when I programmed a connect-4 game using attribute memory as storage for the board. You could literally see the alpha-beta game tree search progress through the screen colors.
Some of my favorite games were Lords of Midnight, The Sentinel, and Underwurlde. Good times...
Perhaps the person who has to travel 2 hours to get to work would be able to afford to earn lower wages at a closer job. And then perhaps someone that lives closer to the job site would take the other persons original job.
It doesn't matter if you're Indian. Painting with a brush that thick is absolutely disgusting.

"Given the level of incredible and unrelenting misbehavior by Indians", unbelievable.
Do crime apps and viral videos stop bystanders from helping?
I just don't understand why. Like I get it they are trying to get more eyeballs on them, but the ads sure made it seem like Builder.ai and Air India were doing some sort of collaboration (almost as if Air India was building a new site on top of Builder.ai). This is like the corporate version of girls on Instagram saying they are "sponsored by" when in reality they are not sponsored by anyone and are just trying to get clout.
