For a very different take on a computer AI helping a human taking over the world (okay, many worlds), see Cordwainer Smith's "The Planet Buyer", also known as "The Boy Who Bought Old Earth", and expanded into the novel "Norstrilia".

The scene from "The Boy Who Bought Old Earth" is available at https://archive.org/details/Galaxy_v22n04_1964-04/page/n5/mo... (from Galaxy, 1964). Rod, the main character, wants the computer to figure out a way to prevent Rod from being sent to "the giggle room", death by a medicine that makes you laugh and laugh while it burns your brain away. Rod is not able to "heir" (communicate telepathically) like other Norstrilians, which on that planet is a death penalty.

Quoting from https://archive.org/details/Galaxy_v22n04_1964-04/page/n57/m...

> “What can I do to stop everybody?”

> “You can bankrupt Norstrilia temporarily, buy Old Earth Itself, and then negotiate on human terms for anything you want.”

> “Oh, lord!” said Rod. “You’ve gone logical again, computer! This is one of your as-if situations.”

> The computer voice did not change its tone. It could not. The sequence of the words held a reproach, however. “This is not an imaginary situation. I am a war computer, and I was designed to include economic warfare. If you did exactly what I told you to do, you could take over all Old North Australia by legal means.”

> “How long would we need? Two hundred years? Old Hot and Simple would have me in
my grave by then.”

> The computer could not laugh, but it could pause. It paused. “I have just checked the time on the New Melbourne Exchange. The ‘Change signal says they will open in seventeen minutes. I will need four hours for your voice to say what it must.
That means you will need four hours and seventeen minutes, give or take five minutes.”

> “What makes you think you can do it?”

> “I am a pure computer, obsolete model. All the others have animal brains built into them, to allow for error. I do not. Furthermore, your great 12 - grandfather hooked me into the defense net.”

> “Didn’t the Commonwealth cut you out?”

> “I am the only Computer which was built to tell lies. I lied to the Commonwealth when they checked on what I was getting. I am obliged to tell the truth only to you and to your designated descendants.”

> '“I know that, but what does it have to do with it?”

> “I predict my own space weather, ahead of the Commonwealth . The accent was not in the pleasant, even-toned voice; Rod himself supplied it.

> “You’ve tried this out?”

> “I have war-gamed it more than a hundred million times. I had nothing else to do while I waited for you.”

> “You never failed?”

> “I failed most of the time, when I first began. But I have not failed a 'war-game from real data for the last thousand years.”

The only thing that would help you in that case is having an account at another registrar, with a similarly named domain (maybe different TLD, or added word in front of the domain name) that is established as a alternative but rightful domain in case of failure. Test the fail-over process and make sure your documentation describe what domains are legitimate fail-over domains for your users.

Also, chose a registrar that won't just terminate your account over nothing (like Google is famous to do). I've had good luck with DNSimple over the years. Sign up for their enterprise plan and make sure to stay up-to-date on their policies. If you see that they start acting "googley", start thinking about moving to another one.

You're conflating syllabic consonants and vowels. Phonetically, R and L are always consonants. The distinction between consonants and vowels is not in whether they can appear by themselves as syllables.

For example, in many English dialects "bottle" has two syllables and the second syllable is just an "L". But that L is still a consonant.
> if your hobbies are really popular like rock climbing or craft beer or Harry Potter

What would you say your hobbies are?

There are obviously some who wouldn't find much of value in TikTok because the nature of the content (3 minute videos) cannot deliver in-depth technical material about a complex topic, for example. The medium is clearly very different from those that you found addictive, so blaming the algorithm for not delivering good content might be a case of blaming apples for not being oranges.

I've had two separate experiences with TikTok - in the first one I ended up as you describe, seeing mostly content that I found boring or useless. The second time I made a mental note to not interact in any way with content that seemed in the same category - I would move on to another video as fast as I could. That helped a lot, and now I enjoy at least every other video I see. But then again, I don't use TikTok for hobbies, it's mostly for generic interesting stuff.
userspace means that the code runs in userspace so, it doesn't require admin privileges. So, it is great if you are not the root. Exposing socks5 is great, so that another userspace process can use it. So, let's say you would like to run a torrent client in a restrictive environment, you can setup this and then through sock5 interface, you might be able to bypass firewall around it.
Records is what Java calls data classes which kotlin had since 1.0

I don't think these criticisms really hold water to be honest, though Ron may have a stronger take on this because he works on the Java team on Loom, and Loom is one of the few areas where big JVM upgrades can actually drastically simplify the programming model. Most of the other things Java has been doing are just catching up. The needs of stability and their general culture prevents them moving as fast as the Jetbrains guys did when designing Kotlin.

The NSA has eChirp, a classified clone of Twitter. No scaling problems since it isn't on the Internet and classified networks have at most a few hundred thousand users at a time, but I don't think it took them anywhere near a month to create this. I'm not sure it took a week.

Wouldn't it be amusing if a common english word like "foundation", usually referring to the thing on which buildings are constructed, is uniquely reserved for the all the kinds of things on which you can theoretically build all of mathematics, but where none of the people involved are actually trying to do that, and a different word has to be invented for a similar thing, because you got banned out of the club for trying to actually build mathematics on top of it.

We saw recently the almost downfalls of Intel, Apple, Boeing because of grave engineering mistakes, but ultimately caused by grave management mistakes.

Apple seems to have jumped the ship successfully by switching to ARM, their keyboard and OS are still unusable though. Wonder how their China adventure will turn out.

Intel could be bought by Nvidia or AMD, but since the government invested so much into their backdoors there, they will be kept alive. But no chance that their architectural problems can be solved at all.

Boing is unfixable since its unfriendly McDonald-Douglas management takeover and technical decline since. Now even their stable flagship product line fell down in a straight line.

Heroin and other opiates need to be available over the counter at a store. This is the only way to remove the black market and the fentanyl tainted supply. If you just decriminalize, people still won't be able to get it and will have to go through a black market.

The market doesn't need to be a free for all, we can choose to make advertising the compounds illegal but still make them available.

If you don't fully legalize, the problem never actually gets solved. Pretty much all drug problems are created by prohibition itself. Full stop.
Imagine all that time spent watching other people do hobbies you would like to have instead be spent actually doing those hobbies. Where would your life be right now and where would it go from there.

Never got into instagram/tiktok and its less appealing every time I hear about it or see too small kids addicted to it. I am rather too busy living real life interacting with real people - that isn't some smug snobbishness, just that online interaction in such a form simply doesn't cut it for me, too bland, too passive, too shallow and life painfully too short for such mistakes.
>, how do ffmpeg and vlc go around that problem then?

The ffmpeg project does not distribute binaries with unlicensed or illegal code. E.g. if you want ffmpeg to use libdvdcss for decrypting DVDs or use libfdk-aac to encode aac/m4a without paying license royalties to Fraunhofer, the end user has to download those components and build a custom ffmpeg on their own. No legitimate website will host ffmpeg built with the "illegal/unlicensed" libraries. E.g. When the popular Zeranoe website hosted ffmpeg executables for download, it was only built with the free GNU components.

The vlc project says they can include libdvdcss because they are a French company instead of American. E.g. Microsoft removes DVD playback from Windows 8 but VLC does not:

I was also considering writing some introductory stuff about HoTT but I don't think it's possible to avoid talking about topology, homotopy theory, and category theory in depth like you can with, say Haskell and category theory. This is because the stuff that makes HoTT so cool cannot be separated from it's mathematical foundations. How would you explain truncated types without going fairly deep into the math? Or the circle type? Sure both of these could be explained as instances of higher inductive types but that explanation is missing a lot.
That has nothing to do with scale.

Quite honestly though, I don’t see null as that big of a deal. I haven’t struggled with it since I began programming 10 years ago.

> It’s open to objections: first, Github does this already, so it’s a solved problem.

I can buy the reasoning that it's a solved problem with additional software, but citing github specifically here is absurd.

Github is a SaaS, centralised, closed source and unfederated platform.

I can understand that you think they're a good service, but there's a huge difference between something like git (which is a tool and a flexible one) and SVN, vs a hosted service.

You can think of it like VLC media player vs youtube.
the real reaction to those sanctions is that japan will have to pay for russian gas in rubles which they can only do by breaking the sanctions.
That's somewhat ironic since TikTok pays certain content creators, although apparently not well.
> It’s open to objections: first, Github does this already, so it’s a solved problem

No, you're misunderstanding the feature (or they don't explain it well). GitHub solves the problem on their platform yes, but not in the protocol (git) itself.

Fossil embeds that data in the repository, all the data is local. Fossil works perfectly with the "local first" doctrine, something Git also does, but not for everything around Git, that Fossil embeds into the repository.

Basically, Fossil is Git + GitHub but self-hosted and offline first. You pull down a Fossil repository is like pulling down the Git repository + all related GitHub data.

> Why would VCS experts be good at designing a compelling forum or ticketing system?

They don't have to be experts about something to make it good enough. For a lot of us with poor internet connectivity, the offline first doctrine is essential in a lot of the work we do, as internet can disappear at any notice. Fossil works much better for this, as I can still read the wiki and tickets when my internet drops, while if I were using GitHub, I'd have to results to writing my own code/use 3rd party software to get the same experience.

What if a company incorporates using your name in this or that jurisdiction then claims your .com? It happened in the past (although many companies, at first, simply bought the .com from the early .com hoarders for it was easier and faster than claim the name ownership).

I don't know how you can defend against that, except having a company incorporated with that name in the country which corresponds to the TLD.
Sounds good, though previous EU initiatives have been blunted by lobbying and non-compliance. Possibly China's recent moves in similar directions will make it more obvious when the EU backslides. Maybe one day soon the US will join them and a new dawn of technological capitalism based on multiple competing services trying to meet user needs rather than achieve network lock-in will arise.

It's kind of interesting to imagine what could have been if so much human effort hadn't been poured into trapping people into walled gardens.
Since lots of Kotlin code is normally ran on the JVM, some of that code might depend on java libraries or jvm specific stuff. They won't be able to be transpiled to run in the browser.

> taking down content that the platform doesn’t want to host is not illegal, and not a free speech violation

It may or may not be a free speech violation due to some circumstances not being told. For example, if go to [1] and press on "total edits" then we realize that George W. Bush is the most edited Wikipedia's page except some system pages. What is it if not a censorship? I do not want to spread conspiracy but I would not surprise if some of that edits even do not listed (I mean wiped) because of a little bit of more needness for Wikipedia to obey the American law than needness to obey some other countries' laws.

Downloaded it. Hard to mine data as, not surprisingly, everything is in Cyrillic. The problem is that there are multiple code pages to encode Cyrillic text (CP866, KOI8-R, CP1251 at least) and the encoding varies among files. Also the most of the PDF files consist of scanned pages.

Yeah, in the case of Git, the web ui is very simple, as Git only cares about code. In the case of Fossil, the web ui is extensive, as Fossil stores all types of data, not just code.

As an interesting example, the very website in this submission (fossil-scm.org) is in fact just a standalone Fossil website, running as you'd run your own repository. Everything that is on that website, is something you get for free for each repository you use Fossil for.

I try to think about the speed of light as a geometric property of the universe, similar to how you can’t draw a straight line between two points on a circle that’s longer than the circle’s diameter.

> "It was alleged that this was done deliberately by the subcontractors to create additional paid work."

I don't entirely doubt this. I actually briefly lived in a flat overlooking the Hayes & Harlington station works some years ago. And also used to often commute to the Prince Regent DLR station which had a good view of the Crossrail works at Custom House. In both cases, as far as I could tell, progress was very slow with typically large amounts of idle workers and equipment sitting around (workers on-site but seemingly without much to do!).

> "They were having this exact problem on the jubilee line."

And Crossrail's signalling is, of course, much more complicated compared to the self-contained Jubilee line because of the need for interoperation with the wider rail network and for trains to run on 3(!) totally different signalling systems: Siemens' proprietary TrainGuard ATO on the central (Paddington-Abbey Wood) section, traditional British TPWS & AWS on the Reading and Stratford branches, and ETCS on the Heathrow branch.

I can certainly imagine that getting all of these systems to work together has been a systems integration nightmare, so it's worrying that they seem to be struggling just to get the core Paddington-Abbey Wood section running in self-contained operation!

I think some hobbies work really well for the format.

At one point in my life, I was interested in chicken breeding. I could see that being really easy to capture in TikTok format. I'm also a long distance runner - so that's a pretty popular hobby, but I don't know that I'd ever watch a video about it.

But I'm primarily interested in early Christian history and treasure hunting/specific antiquities. I'm interested in virtual worlds like Ultima Online.

There are some accounts that deal with those topics, but I'd mostly get general history videos and gem/mineral hunting videos, which I'm not really interested in - at all.

Like you said, I would occassionally see a video that was outside of my hobbies that I found interesting.

But maybe TikTok is telling me something else: maybe I'm just a very dry boring person these days.
