Social media is a mirror in the same way that baseball is a mirror. Individual personalities are tested and the fact we're playing it is because we're human, but the rules of baseball are not the rules of life. When we're playing baseball we're doing something very different from when we're relating to each other or spending time together.

Twitter is a social game, and distorts the behavior of its participants. Its a fun house mirror, not a reflecting pool.

https://github.com/google/go-attestation is a free implementation of remote attestation that's not associated with any CPU type and will work on anything that has a TPM. But what we want here isn't really remote attestation (which implies attesting to the overall state of the device), it's key attestation (where you verify that the key was generated on a legitimate TPM). But there's still a legitimate privacy concern, in that the attestation is still rooted in an immutable key that would allow anyone who performed key attestation with you to associate your identity with a specific computer.
Both pnpm and Yarn are independent projects maintained by the community. I personally think that these are better projects than npm CLI because they can make their own decisions. Not decisions dictated by business needs of a company.

I was OK to merge pnpm into npm in the past. They have never suggested me this opportunity. Instead, they decided to re-implement pnpm's algorithm into npm and call it "isolated mode".

>> The answer was "10 years away" for decades, right up to 2015, and then one day in 2016, that day was "today".

I've heard this a few times. In 2014 I was doing an MSc in Intelligent Systems ("AI" after the Winter) and Go was discussed in class in the context of Russel and Norvig. I don't remember the tutor saying that beating a grandmaster (? do they have grandmasters in Go?) was "10 years away". I remember him saying that Go was the last of the classic board games where humans still dominated machines because it requires intuition.

So, can you say where the "10 years away" quote comes from? Is it an actual quote? Do you know someone who actually said beating [a top human player] in Go is "10 years away" at some time before 2015?

I have a decent size library and accessing Jellyfin via DLNA from a PS4 was unworkable for me. There is no search, and I couldn't find any way to select specific movies other than scrolling through the entire library by title name, or finnicky categories like genre or release year. Plex's DLNA implementation provides a "By First Letter" listing so you can find it via "By First Letter > M > (scroll down past a dozen entries to 'The Matrix')" instead of "By Title > (scroll down past a few hundred entries to 'The Matrix')". I don't think I'd be able to stomach that amount of scrolling to watch "Zardoz" on Jellyfin.
I don't know how you got that sentiment from that graphic, which doesn't have jack shit to do with political affiliation.

I will put $100 down right now that if you did a statistically significant, unbiased, controlled, representative sample of verified Twitter users - as in people you can provably show are actual human beings - you'll find the majority are left-leaning.

Auth in the Age of Kubernetes
With modern nuclear technology, it is quite possible to convert lead into gold. It's been done. Years ago.

HOWEVER, it was also understood that the cost per ounce of the resulting gold was orders of magnitude higher than the cost of gold obtained via lower-tech methods.

So there were no serious attempts to scale up the original process. Nor to improve it. Nor to develop "new and better" lead-to-gold conversion processes. Nor to otherwise squander vast sums and resources chasing the "but it IS possible..." dream of making real gold from mere lead.
Which is why they shut down the NY Times for posting trumps tax information. ... and why, after hunter biden, they shut down ProPublica after they obtained the detailed tax records of all Americans and started publishing documents from a multitude of wealthy people, none of which (thus far) have exposed any crimes, and little of which could be argued to be a matter of public interest... oh wait they didn't.

In these examples not only was the material hacked, its further disclosure is a crime. By comparison, the disclosure of the hunter biden material was completely lawful, as far as we're able to tell right now. The material was also easily verified to be legitimate, at least in part-- since the google DKIM on the messages passed. You won't find pretty much any other hacked material reporting that twitter allowed to spread that could be cryptographic authenticated.

It's why twitter shut down accounts sharing the dump of Epik (right wing wingnut friendly domain registrar), or personal information extracted from it... oh wait, they didn't (well they didn't shut down a few accounts calling for violence against people in it, just not one merely propagating the hacked information).

It's why they shut down Suddeutsche Zeitung when they published their reporting on the Panama Papers... oh right, yet again. They didn't.

I could keep going, -- there is a lot of journalism that comes from hacked documents.

Can you give a single prior example of high profile reporting on hacked materials where twitter suppressed the media outlet and discussion of the subject? -- I'm earnestly interested.

I think you thoroughly misunderstood his point. His point is that everything is ideology and that it's inescapable, that obviously includes him. Everyone is an ideologue if you will, some just think their ideology isn't ideology.

(and it seems that includes you based on how you contrasted "status quo" and "ideology" in the other comment, as if the status quo were somehow unideological)

Candidly, the Firefox extension framework is significantly nicer. Blam'ing chrome.runtime.lastError.

There's a lot of small amounts of work to get everything working right using the webext module. We're slowly chipping away, we've eliminated all our dependencies on chrome specific modules in the last month while working on other functionality, but we're a really small team right now with competing priorities, so this will get more priority as we get more people on the team.

>That gas, oil and coal are means for missiles and hired mercenaries.

Russia is not a banana republic where you could possibly find the direct link between the export revenues and military expenses. This is not how Russian economy works, the picture is much more complicated.

First of all, the revenue from oil and gas sales is collected in foreign currency. Russian budget receives the money in taxes paid by exporters, but these money must be converted first to rouble.
The conversion rate can be regulated by the central bank through purchases and sales of the currency and they of course can print money when necessary. This means that this currency actually never reaches the recipients of the budget money and exchange rate can be adjusted to serve the needs of the economy.

Second, Russia produces nearly all of its military equipment and pays for it in rouble. There's almost no mercenaries in this conflict, it is mostly regular army, which also receives their salaries in rouble. They have very low exposure to external economic shocks and if necessary can switch to the war economy mode at the cost of the rest of Russian population.

Now, what happens if Russia stops exporting oil and gas to Europe? Just in the last year Russia collected 50% more money than it planned in the annual budget. The extra money are usually deposited in the Reserve Fund and National Wealth Fund and re-invested, but they can be used in crisis times. Basically, just in the last year Russia collected enough money to survive 6 months of oil and gas trade embargo (and this is 150% of its military budget). Let's say, some of these money are frozen on European and American bank accounts and cannot actually be used except for servicing the debt. Still plenty of these savings are still accessible. Besides that, Russian central bank can still print money to fund the war. This may result in even higher inflation, but the economic bloc of Russian government is extremely competent and can mitigate the impact on the population.

Ordinary Russian people will inevitably notice the economic downturn, but their mentality is the mentality of survival and mobilization, plus the state propaganda can justify the means very convincingly and repressive apparatus can silence those who disagree. We are talking about many years of attrition until the economic situation becomes untolerable. No sanctions in the world will force Russian people to overthrow the government in the next year or two, just like they did not work for North Korea, Venezuela or Iran.
Honest question: have any far left politicians/celebrities/blue checkmark people been banned from twitter?
That's because Reddit is one of the few places left on the web that is open (aka: not a walled-garden like Facebook) and has people talking to people without financial incentive. HN is another.

Reddit is changing fast though. It's becoming more walled-off every day as they push to become the next Pinterest, and it's increasingly plagued with spam and bad actors.

Google brought this upon us by lifting SEO spam websites to the front page while pushing down helpful websites written by humans without incentive, like Ask MetaFilter.

>In short, there's no actual model of what an apple is, as an object in space, connected to other objects by various relationships.

I don't know why you think language models are fundamentally unable to deduce the knowledge of the points you mention. Much knowledge isn't explicitly stated, but is implicit and can be deduced from a collection of explicit facts. For example, apples are food, food is physical matter, physical matter is fixed in size, cannot be in two places at once, maintains its current momentum unless acted on by a force, etc. Categorization and deducing properties from an object's category is in parameter space of language models. There's no reason to think that a sufficiently large model will not land on these parameters.

>But the reason GPT-3 and other models tend to make no sense is because their output is not constrained by reality.

The issue isn't what GPT-3 can or cannot do, its about what autoregressive language models as a class are capable of. Yes, there are massive holes in GPT-3's ability to maintain coherency across wide ranges of contexts. But GPT-3's limits does not imply a limit to autoregressive language models more generally.
> One day, a big one is going to go dark, and millions of people will suddenly lose access to the hundreds of movies they got used to accessing

Probably one of the remaining streaming services will just buy the content at fire-sale prices, and people who want that stuff will have to switch services - which they had to do anyway, because their one went dark.
Man, drones are scary. This approach could be adopted for a whole slew of malicious techniques.
I assume that Apple does have small-scale events for developers of various types though I don't know for a fact as I don't develop for mobile.

But putting on full-blown events like WWDC is enormously expensive both in direct dollars and, probably more importantly, people's time. Some big US companies do hold their big user shows (which serve a somewhat different purpose and audience anyway) in both the US and Europe but most just do US only.
"The school is effectively making the computer a terminal into their system."

I agree with this. If you had an rdp / citrix / ssh session to your employer you'd expect them to control what's on the other end. A Chromebook on which you're using a work/school account is much closer to that experience than a PC, but with the lines unfortunately much more blurred.
If the bill prevents any discussion that would teach someone who was unaware that gay people existed, with no explicit reference towards banning teaching that gay people existed, does that make a material difference in your eyes?
Thanks a lot for these resources. I will surely look into these when I get any further on the 1200 machines or 600 vampire accelerated or something.
> I am annoyed that somehow Plex got this to work but Apple TV app does not with Netflix.

I have a feeling that this is because Apple has some onerous little line in their contract that Netflix was not willing to accept. There's certainly no technical reason that it can't happen.

And it annoys the hell out of me.
Comedy Central. Technically not an article, but Jon Stewart (also technically not a journalist, but imho he was better at being one than actual journalists) was pretty open about opposing the Iraq war. I assume in Russia he’d already be serving his 15+ year sentence?

Yes the US has problems. But Russia is just on another level considering that being a free and independent media source is literally illegal there.

The weird thing I keep seeing is that many C libraries still define their own integer types for some reason instead of just using the ones from stdint.h. Even new ones, that certainly didn't ever need to support ancient platforms and ancient compilers, like libopus.
He also loves free speech except when employees discuss unions.

He wants Twitters algorithms to be open, but his cars must stay closed.

Requesting anything of him is anti-freedom then he projects at others how they could do better in the same contexts.

He’s like a crazy TV Lenny salesman who has never actually invented anything net new. He’s playing the acquisitions of other people work game to prop up his preference to not work.

Normal humans should not be given extreme leverage over other normal humans. Lie to me about “free markets” but as one of the 13% with and advanced degree, mine being in math, the average person has no ability to smell through his BS in detail, but they have a gut sense he’s just another used car salesman.
I haven't said anything about Blade Runner. I reference Gibson claiming inspiration from the line "you flew the Gullwing over Leningrad, didn't you?" in Escape from New York because he loved how 'a casual reference could imply a lot', which is all about his admiration for the style of SF (and trope-heavy style at that).

> What are modern cyberpunk derivatives fighting against? Cyberpunk today is codified as a consumer-friendly, eye-popping style, complete with a collection of tropes so ingrained fans will fight you to the death if you try to deviate so much as an inch from them.

But eye-popping style was all it ever was. Neuromancer didn't fight against John Campbell's opinions on slavery, or capitalism, or Cold War politics, it just wrote about punks and hacking in a neo-noir dystopia because Gibson thought that was a much less boring setting for a story than conservative utopias.

I'm not the person you were discussing with, but couldn't help but notice that this comment you call the person an ideologue:

> Again, life is complex. Abandon ideology.

Seems to be in direct conflict with this comment you made earlier:

> I find that when we call someone an ideologue today, or refer to an ideology, it is always a false narrative-based over-simplification of the world.

The idea of abandoning ideology is it's own ideology, no?
1000s of developers use Idea's IntelliJ, Webstorm and GoLand. Only the community edition of IntelliJ is open source.

Software doesn't need to be open source for it to be adopted, if they have the right security practices and I'm sure for enterprise contracts they will have the right level of information available under NDA when GA.
Google employee here. I work in engineering but collaborate very closely with recruiters and executives. While I don't speak for the company nor for all of its countless employees, I can say that in four years of employment, nobody ever, EVER said, implied, or appeared to act in a way that made me think that they want what you describe.

Case in point, I'm in my forties and have a family with young kids and have arguably been successful as well.

Coincidentally, there was an episode about this yesterday on NPR's Shortwave:

https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1089593627

Apparently, despite having a population of 140,000, Flagstaff, Arizona has decided to become a "dark sky city" and succeeded well enough that you can see the Milky Way from downtown. And there are people working to preserve areas that are currently dark and reclaim night sky darkness in other areas.

> I'm genuinely rooting for Jellyfin to overtake Plex in functionality and popularity; someone needs to. Plex isn't even fully FLOSS.

XBMC (now called Kodi) still exist and is open source. I’ve been using it for going on 15 years now and it’s never disappointed.
I've seen it in action at least once and I think it was a really good experience. Basically you could manage a single ecommerce profile and sellers could piggy-back on it and not have to set up their own payments system or even authentication. I think they may have put themselves in an awkward spot in between sellers and their customers data though. It's also a narrow niche in between fully-managed ecomm players like Shopify and fully custom platforms that big guys would be using.
The bill is not unclear about what and when things can be taught. Please stop buying into the hype on this bill.

First the bill applies to kindergarten to 3rd grade. Very clear who it applies to. If you teach fourth grade or above this does not apply.

Second, the bill basically prevents three things.

1. The withholding of information "affecting a
student's mental, emotional, or physical well-being" from a parent. It also requires no prohibitions on parents "accessing any of their student's education and health records created, maintained, or used by the school district".

2. Banning teachers of kindergartens through 3rd grade from "discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity or in a manner that is not age
appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students"

3. Prevents a school from "administering a student well-being questionnaire
or health screening form to a student in kindergarten through
grade 3" without providing "the questionnaire or health screening form to the parent and obtain[ing] the permission of the parent"

The law also requires the school districts to "notify parents of each healthcare service offered
at their student's school and the option to withhold consent or decline any specific service."

It is quite clear and less than 10 pages long. It is not chilling speech to not talk to a 5 year old about sex. Also, this bill also literally would apply to all sexual orientations including straight. If this is a don't say gay bill then it is also don't say straight.

Yes. The Wiktionary entry mentions this: "In the US, generally has devious connotations, while in the UK, frequently used as a neutral term for projects"

People don't mind walled gardens because for a while they've been good enough if not better than the previous status-quo. However, those walled gardens are decaying such that there might actually be demand for something better if it existed.
I guess it depends on whether you consider "The Next Google" to imply that it becomes a the dominant company in the space, used by every "average user", or if it's enough to be a niche solution for highly technical users who prefer it to Google.
