The TV doesn't need firmware updates as long as it's able to show me my sources, and "laggy" doesn't matter when the only input it ever has to deal with is whichever smart stick I choose to stick in HDMI 1.

I got a smart LG and let it go on the Internet to get a feel for the apps and webOS (as a Palm fanboy who was curious of how that story ended), and after trying it for a few weeks, it went back offline. Now the TV is turned on and off by the AppleTV connected to it.
Don't get drawn into whataboutism.
Ukraine was attacked by Russia against international law. Do you believe Russia should get away with it?

And before there's a whataboutism reply, I also do not agree with a lot of the US' aggression, and they and their leaders should be tried for war crimes.
Now that I think about exposing cache hierarchy in a programming language, that makes much more sense. One can imagine a programming language with explicit control over CPU caches and their hierarchy. Also, this could make GPU/CUDA programming more explicit, safe and efficient.

Still, this requires the hardware to cooperate with software instead of pretending that random access memory is truly random access. This functionality just isn't there at this point.

Edit: this would require programmable caching hardware to make caching analysis and algorithms introspectable and changeable. For now, fixed caching algorithms implemented in hardware do provide lots of benefits.

We communicate with the most detail using words, but body language, facial expressions, touch and other scrubs act as girls of communication as well. All of these things have a common foundation in pattern.

What we call art is the manipulation of these common patterns. When it's most successful, it often regurgitates patterns that have proven successful. When it's most meaningful it modifies the old pattern to make new patterns that people can appreciate.

The question then becomes, how much modification can you engage in before your work because meaningless to everyone but yourself.

Imagine if your friend was a writer who got tired of the spoken languages and began writing novels in his own custom language. Would you lament the fact that no one reads his books?

> It's not connected to internet.

Just wait until one of your neighbors gets a DSL or cable contract with a deal like "share your electricity with us to run a public hotspot and get free access to our nationwide hotspot network in turn". There have been complaints about smart TVs automatically connecting to open WiFi networks [1], it's not that far fetched to assume some manufacturer will sooner or later cut a deal with Comcast or other providers.

Or that your smart TV gets its own embedded DOCSIS modem - one would not even be able to spot that except by dissecting the firmware! - or LTE modems. All it takes is the smell of enough profits.

Also, TVs went from dumb to smart, so empirically,
sufficient buyers voted for smart even when they
had an option for dumb

This is one of those areas where consumerism/capitalism trips over itself and leads to sub-optimal outcomes.

The implicit assumption here is that this must be what consumers want, because it's what they "voted" for.

But voting (whether democratic elections, or just free-market consumer spending choices) only leads to optimal outcomes when the "voters" are sufficently knowledgeable in terms of both general domain knowledge and the choices themselves.

For all but the simplest choices (say, a choice between a bucket with a hole in the bottom and a bucket without a hole in the bottom) this is difficult.

There's no reasonable way for consumers to know how shitty the inbuilt OS/apps of a "smart TV" will become over time, or what onerous software updates the manufacturer will pump out, etc. A lot of this stuff is difficult or impossible to know even for savvy, educated people looking for a TV.

I wonder what sort of reaction you have when a successful, legally approved medicine turns out to cause death or injury in the long run, or merely proves to be ineffective. Or when a specific model of car develops problems after a couple of years.

Do you say, "well... this is clearly what consumers voted for?"
Thanks for sharing your Upwork experience, I have used them many times as a buyer but always felt it must be relentless to survive as a bidder there. I probably underestimate the work available that is not just optimizing on price when looking for a freelancer.

The free market doesn't seem so keen on modifications, see phones, laptops etc. All walled gardens where even repair is discouraged.
If you are paying 112$ instead of 35$ for the exact same product (except shipping times, but perhaps you could find them on ebay/amazon with fast shipping) and you do not feel taken advantage of, good for you.

To make it clear, it's not theoretical, I bought the parts for 35$ instead of 112$, and the are exactly the same as from iFixit or better.

I just dislike the aura of "iFixit is fighting for you, doing the right thing!" and then proceed to rip you off.

Also, on aliexpress things go trough a few middlemans (and aliexpress cut). They probably buy bulk from alibaba or another channel, and prices there are lower.

I found this article interesting, exactly because "typing the name of the repo you want to make private before proceeding" seemed like a good solution to me as well. (Until now.)

However, I can absolutely imagine doing the author's mistake and I think their UI improvement suggestion is great.

To me the interface design lesson here is valuable. A recommendation to "check what repo you're in before taking destructive actions" has zero value, since everyone knows that already.

Completely agreed on the second point though, it's weird to blame this mainly on GitHub.
The elite in russia becomes wealthy by extracting natural resources from the vast territories of the russian federation's member republics. They need the distant republics and ethnic minorities to stay poor, dependent, and deferential to moscow. The danger putin would see in "dividing into categories" is ethnic pride (in anything but russian ethnicity), uprisings, and "colour revolutions".

Do you understand how a spark plug works or how a hardware interrupt works within the Linux kernel?

I don’t, but people who have specialized in those specific disciplines and spent their time thinking about how these things work have lead to usable cars and usable/better operating systems as a result. USB is a spec that I don’t care how it works, just that it does.

I think crypto concepts like BFT, MEV, consensus, etc are advanced concepts for specialists in the crypto space who are building these same sorts of layers of abstraction that people will generally be using in the future. I don’t need to know how a spark plug works to drive my car, and the average person doesn’t need to understand how a physical device triggers hardware interrupts in the Linux kernel to use a keyboard.

People also don’t need to understand DNS or BGP to use the internet, because some clever folks built RFCs and open protocols that were adopted and bundled together to create web browsers, routers, and the general internet. Things were also rough around the edges in the early days there too, but have now evolved to be a critical part of today’s world. Traditional mail is still a thing but the obvious winds are blowing more and more to use e-mail for things, not because it’s a fad or has a lot of hype, but because it’s demonstrably better.

People here like to throw shade on crypto but there are already useful things (like multisig smart contracts) that are not only unique to crypto and useful today, but imply that there are other new and useful building blocks that need to be realized and developed to unlock more interesting and complex use cases (you can’t have Netflix or e-commerce without DNS and BGP for example, even if the vast majority of users have no idea how it works).

People excited about the space (disclaimer: I am excited about the space) see the possibilities based on the building blocks that exist today, not to mention the very real spike in practical cryptographic research that’s being done (zero knowledge proofs as a field of study has been massively accelerated by the cryptocurrency space). People also struggled to see secure real time video calls or online banking as a result of the DNS protocol being developed or the RSA algorithm being created, but some did see the implications and got very excited about that future.
This was my first reaction too.
These comments are immeasurably depressing. I had no idea so many in this community were one step away from openly supporting authoritarianism and genocide.
I'm not quite sure what your point here is, but if it is that there is no plausible way in which Putin can claim Russia is threatened with invasion from the west, I agree.

The author’s confidence is itself an indication that they’re more likely to be wrong.

Kidding. Well, half-kidding, I did kind of find the tone a bit biting and dismissive, especially towards one of the commenters that were pointing out exactly what you did.

It’s an interesting question to ask whether ask whether the uniformly random data “really” exhibits DK or not, and whether that’s interesting. A world where people have 0 ability to assess their own skill and resort to making uniformly random guesses at it is kind of interesting, and of course in such a world more skilled people would end up on average underestimating themselves and vice versa.

But I think the author’s right that obviously nothing psychological is happening here. There’s the psychological effect of no one being able to assess themselves, but the fact that unskilled people overestimate themselves in this world has nothing to do with the fact that they are unskilled.
Lots of people think differently without having brain injuries.

There are people with no internal monolog, for example. They don't "talk" internally.

Another example is that while I "see" things easily, they are very abstract. It doesn't relate to world world things, but they can create intuitive connections. I can't really think that well without "day dreaming" and staring off into the distance.

However I can't really "hear" things internally. Sometimes, rarely, I can listen to music in my brain as if I am hearing it, but it's a fluke. It is extremely unusual.

Were as I have had musician friends that can record and playback every note internally. I remember back in the day when Little Caesars had "Simon Says" style musical game were you could win a free pizza... the owner of the store would get so angry at my friend for effortlessly beating it that he would just hand him a free pizza and tell him to leave every time we would show up with a handful of quarters. He would have to lose on purpose so we could win just a free soda to go along with the free pizzas.

My girlfriend, when she hears a catchy song, can have it playing so loudly in her head that it will keep her up at night. It is not something she has lot of control over. I am banned from playing certain songs around her because it will fuck up her sleep schedule. It is not even related to whether she likes the song or not.

According to her the most evil song that ever created is 4 Non Blondes' "What's Up".

I think the idea that "we need to be cautious" in regards to the article is missing the point. It's not trying to claim that "If you get head injury everything will be alright".

I think the main point is something more along the lines of:

We don't know how the brain works. When people talk about "language centers" and this part of the brain does that... They are factually wrong. They don't know that.

They know that MRIs can show different parts of the brain getting more or less blood flow when people see different things or carry out different tasks, and there is some correlation between different types of brain injury and different types of cognitive impairment, but the ultimate meaning behind all that is still largely a mystery.
OK, I think I understand. What the data from the original experiment actually shows is that people at all skill levels are pretty bad at estimating their skill level- it's just that if you scored well, the errors are likely to be underestimates, and if you scored badly, the errors are likely to be overestimates, by pure chance alone. So it's not that low scoring individuals are particularly overconfident so much as everyone is imperfect at guessing how well they did. Great observation.
Does anyone know if this can finally be a treatment for tinnitus? I would love to hear silence again.
> Blocking the MAC address from making connections outright seems like a more sensible way to prevent surveillance.

That won't protect against DNS data exfiltration. Extremely low-bandwidth, but works in a lot of cases - people have even written proxy servers to get slow but working Internet on public hotspots that normally require login.

> I found that having experiences with coworkers from outside of a work settings would significantly strengthen the relationship with those coworkers.

Why can’t work just be work? Do you really want to spent time with your coworkers outside of work? Some of us have families to care for. And some of us have actual friends that we like to hangout with. Coworkers aren’t my buddies or family. We are a team to get things done for a price.
> It even makes you type the name

More and more IT systems are starting to do this for more and more tasks. I understand why: it's a hell of a lot easier than implementing a trashcan, timed undo, joining in helpful data, etc, but man, one good session with a couple hundred resources that need to be deleted this way is enough to burn you out pretty hard on these.

Also, systems that go for these lazy solutions tend also to go for the lazy solution of "just delete and recreate the resource" instead of implementing proper modify functionality. This compounds the problem. As if administrative tasks didn't already come with enough drudgery, now you have to constantly do the old timey school punishment of writing lines just to do your job.

"Just add friction" is evil. Easy, but evil.
I hope distributed is the new norm in order to get similar salaries despite the fact we were born or chose to live in different continents.
h2o still is pretty modular and it's easy to for example rip out their http/1.1 parser and use it. Other projects tend to accumulate a large utils.h or similar over time wrapping every other libc function, have typedefs, macros left and right etc. so you'd either pull all this in too or spend a few days undoing everything.
But what happened with the app your friend was trying to run?? Were you able to patch it and make it work? (and if "yes", how?)
Sweden has the Royal Library, US has the Library of Congress. I believe most developed countries have national libraries, archiving books and newspapers as they are published.
Would be interesting to know why consumers want smart TVs so much.

Some smart TV features are indeed necessary if you want to watch anything via streaming (i.e. any halfway relevant modern series). But as GP said, you can usually get those via some kind of HDMI stick.

So one explanation might be that most people want to watch Netflix but don't know this is possible with a dumb TV + stick as well. Or they know this but don't understand why fiddling with two devices would be preferable to having one device where everything is built-in.

So far that's a reasonable stance, I believe - especially if you don't know all the tracking smart TV vendors already have done. This might change though if ads and other overtly user-hostile features are rolled out more widely.
The modern attitude that risk taking is by default bad or at least of questionable value is not that old and will probably die out before risk taking behavior does. The latter is common across species and millions of years. The former is a new development and may just be a blip.
Current immigration is a strong positive contributor to GDP growth. All things equal, it should allow for more construction and lower (real) housing prices under the right regulatory regime.

If your thesis is true then increases with immigration should be correlated with increases in housing prices, right? But this is not at all what is empirically verified.

It's not a supply-side problem (or not only or even majorly a supply-side problem). We can see this because the housing bubble is occurring in widely different places with widely different construction rules: both very restrictive and very lax. This is fundamentally a finance bubble.

For me, this part of the post really helps understand the context in which the mistake was made. The post is long so it is possible some people read other parts but missed this one.

Old money vs new money, Harvard vs others, Boston Irish vs Others. The cultural divides are subtle. They are like glass ceiling. You will realize how big a deal it is when you enter to their priorities. For getting most of the jobs, no one could care less. Try housing - You will not get housing in certain areas unless you project a certain class.
If you're single (watching alone), I'd say there's very little advantage over a laptop / tablet. If you're watching with others (family, significant other, sports with friends, etc.) it's more social to use a shared screen (TV). I personally never turn it on unless I've planned to watch something with the kids.
My biggest gripe with returning to the office is the inability to determine and enforce priority.

At home, if you slack me and you’re not my top priority right now, I can ignore you or politely reply that I’ll be with you shortly.

In the office folks can simply walk over and tap me on the shoulder. Due to social norms, I cannot simply ignore you and most like will need to devote my full attention to your questions.

Essentially, my actions throughout the day make a subtle shift from proactive activities to reactive.

If I’m not the only person to experience this, I wonder what the macro effect is on an organization?
Solaris 11 does not work without ZFS. It is the only supported root file system.

Keep in mind that Solaris ZFS is largely incompatible with anything that exists in an open source OS. ZFS started out by incrementing pool and dataset versions as features were added. The pool version that will be created by default in Solaris 11.4 cannot be used by ZFS in illumos, FreeBSD, or Linux.

The open source versions of ZFS (found in illumos, FreeBSD, OpenZFS, ZFS on Linux, OpenZFS on Windows) use feature flags. By default, pools created with these will likely use a pool version that says "I have feature flags", which Solaris ZFS will no understand and will refuse to import.

All implementations of ZFS should be able to create a pool with an explicitly old pool version and be able to be imported everywhere. That doesn't mean that pool will be useful for everything. For instance, open source ZFS does not have dataset aliasing, a feature I added in Solaris ZFS after the SoLongAndThanksForAllTheFish commit but before Solaris 11 was released. This feature is required for Solaris Zones.

To suggest modern human life is governed by the same constraints as a troop of monkeys is ludicrous. Of course we're not the same, but to think we should leave it at that and never try to bridge the gap and fix injustices that might arise from it is weird.
What helps: if you check the account creation dates you'll see that quite a few of these accounts have been created very recently or were created right around the invasion of Ukraine, chapter 1.

The problem is real but probably not as large as you might think it is based on the comments.

The more worrying thing is that lots of people have a 'somebody else's problem' approach to this, which is what got the world into World War II.
