given that Jack Dorsey is also on the record for claiming that Bitcoin will lead to world peace I think it's fair to say the answer to that question is yes.
The kernel.org transparency log is a git repository maintained by Konstantin Ryabitsev.

What I did, and the post describes, is a monitor for this log. It also doubles as a verifier which can check if all commits in a kernel release is actually present on the log.
Sadly it's been like this for very long.

I attended the third Google Summer of Code, and they paid me using an unnamed credit card. It was impossible to use the card anywhere, including using their very own Google Checkout!

All my transaction attempts were flagged as suspicious by Google. And I was performing very normal purchases from a regular country, both online and onsite.

Getting hold of someone that could help me was a nightmare, and I only managed to use my funds 20 hours before the card expired, and a year after GSoC had ended.

They have never had a customer service.
I am a solo non-technical founder who hired and fired around 10 developers on a freelancer platform before finding the gem of a developer who single handedly completed the platform. Unfortunately, after a year he has left and now I'm struggling to find a replacement. The web app is still running fine, but further development is stalled. I'm wary of giving access to the entire codebase to the would be new hire. And I being a non technical person, have no idea how to give only partial access to my developer. Just rambling after reading the title. Sorry!
Free speech has turned from a widely held value on the left into a narrow technicality.

perhaps unsurprisingly it is still being fought in court, because the US government is very slow to investigate itself.

that being said, in 2020:

This is the thesis of the Millionare Next Door and it probably still applies roughly adjusting for inflation, etc.

Not the first. Maybe the first one recently. The old fart from Liverpool and his mates sorta roto-rootered culture and defined “it” for a while. Phil Collins, unfortunately, was the face of pop music in the 80’s. So “average bloke” was a popular look I guess. Chops as a drummer and grew up playing complex music but neither made the big bux. He paid the price for it it seems but survived.
Kind of like vcs and startup founders who use their status to “mentor” women in tech just to try and get in their pants. Predation is not unique or exclusive to any organization or group.
> People aren't rational. They are rationalizers

In college we had to read Freud's Civilization and its Discontents for a literature class. The only thing I remember about that entire book was him saying that no matter what, if people wanted to do something, they would find a way to rationalize it to themselves to avoid cognitive dissonance.

That one concept has been illustrated over and over in the 30 years since!

Yes still seeing them in photonics. Conference organisers are still a bit ambiguous about how to make the online compatible as many conferences run hybrid, as someone else said it typically doesn't work well, although I think it could work with some of the platforms that are available (like gather town), but typically the conferences are so entrenched with zoom that they don't really try other options.

When tail latency (high-percentile latency) is important GC is not a good choice. Wait-free (threads progress independently) concurrent algorithms also need wait-free memory reclamation with bounded memory usage to be able to guarantee progress.

But most software are throughput-oriented.
If you're doing things like command-line apps you'll probably find Rust much easier to work with than Zig. You can write high-level code that looks basically like TypeScript in Rust, whereas Zig is more manual. Nim and Crystal are easier from a language perspective, but they have much smaller ecosystems.
Thanks. We'll add info around free plan build speeds in the dashboard and docs.
> Intelligence is in the properties of the data supplied to the kNN. Not in its distance function.

If this were true, then all people who observe the same training samples would learn equally well and predict equally well. But we don't. Some of us invent a better loss function than others or reject irrelevant data better. The representation formed by the data is surely derived, not fixed in its raw form. Forming a better representation of the data is the art of learning better. I'm convinced learning and remembering what you learn is more than kNN; in humans it involves data compression and recontextualization as you improve your loss function or tie your old representation to newly learned data — old raw data and representations that heretofore you had not believed were relevant to that objective (or lesson).
"Namely, that it uncovers latent representational structure not present in the data."

Who thinks this? You're talking to straw-men. The latent structure is absolutely present in the data, but a series of transforms makes the structure more readily available. (Where else would it come from? Forest spirits whispering to the model?)

The 'availability' is made evident by training a linear regression for classification on the learned representation (keeping the base network fixed). This works decently-well for a good representation, and not at all for raw pixels. The point is that you can use 'simple' algorithms - including kNN - on this transformed view of the inputs; it's not magical at all.

FWIW, I find the classification problem space to be riddled with conceptual holes, while other application areas are much less problematic. The use of neural networks for compression makes a lot of sense, and much of representation learning can be thought of as augmentation-invariant compression for some family of augmentations. Some of the recent big advances are really about getting away from the problems of classification.

Meanwhile, reinforcement learning, diffusion learning, recurrent networks, and GANs all bring different kinds of 'interactivity' into the learning problem, and resolve your complaint about ML algorithms working on 'just data.' The iterative processes in these models provide space to push against the data with decisions, and react accordingly.

I find your complaints to be lacking in curiosity or even knowledge about what people are actually doing in the field... Great results keep piling up and ML systems are used by billions of people every day, while you continue to call no-true-scotsman...

Who Watches the Watchers?
There is this thread booming up around banning of a store on Shopify. While this could be justified because the store owner may have been actually just at fault and not played by the law of the platform. This does point out a more burning issue. As platforms tightly control access, open governance and transparency needs to be just baked in. This includes communicating back to folks who are building on top.
My 2017 Pixelbook has no fan and it's 14nm x86. So yes. Feed a processor 10 watts and it can run fanless.
Arguably this is a drawback of M1; it can't use more than ~20W even if you have more power and cooling available.

I agree that NATO and the US made decisions that led to the war in Ukraine.

But that's a causal question, there's nothing moral about it. It's like saying someone who walked through the bad part of town and got mugged made a bad decision. But morally speaking the mugger is in the wrong, Russia is in the wrong. Ukraine, a sovereign state, is allowed to flirt with joining NATO or enter trade agreements with the EU. Besides, somewhat ironically, Ukraine would have no reason to join NATO if the Russia wasn't an ever-present threat to Ukrainian sovereignty.

People are just talking past each other. Realists aren't making moral prescriptions and moralists are worried about right and wrong, the violations of sovereignty and the body count. Both perspectives are necessary. Moralism can't guide foreign policy completely but it can't be totally absent. Reasonable people can disagree about the right mix.

Like the grandparent poster noted, it is strange and irritating that realists are being shouted down as "Russian agents" by mindless moralists.

Have you ever worked on a new codebase?

I've found PR's become important approximately when feature momentum starts to drop.
They’re working towards having native backends for x86-64, aarch64, etc., that are all written in Zig, making LLVM an optional dependency, and eliminating literally all uses of non-Zig code (including no mandatory use of C standard library, for example) for those builds. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31052234

I’m assuming these will primarily be for super fast debug builds (at least to start), and LLVM (and maybe C backend too) will still be the favored backend(s) for release builds.
The world is obviously full of conspiracies. People have been conspiring on various topics for a long time.

> If I was a member of Twitter's board, Musk's history of erratic public behavior, SEC settlement, and openly hostile attitude towards the company's employees would be more than sufficient to justify my belief that his controlling ownership would not be in the interest of the current average shareholder.

But all that is irrelevant because he wants to take the company private- no shareholders. The impact to shareholders is the massive bailout he would give them on their shares.

If they cared about shareholders best interests they would bring it to vote.
You can do it with LaTeX (using baposter or another template) and in my experience it worked well for the kind of things Beamer works well for - that is, text, equations, and simple images. Positioning and resizing things is as annoying as you’d think, but using something with an auto-updating preview (latexmk -pvc or Overleaf, etc) makes it a little more tolerable.
The Snowden leaks are almost totally information-free and conspiracy theorists simply project their prior beliefs onto them. As an exercise, take any widely-repeated conclusion drawn from the leaks and then go back to Snowden's materials and try to build a supporting case for that conclusion.

I truly don't understand this business of thinking everything shitty needs to be banned and denied as a right. Like, I take a pretty dim view of hookup culture, but I'm still going to denounce any attempt to make it illegal or deprive people of the right to fuck N different people per week. Because I'm more interested in freedom than agitating to hammer the world's people into a min/maxed social utilitarian dystopia. I'm trying to understand when and how America started pining for its own Soviet Union so hard. Or is this just a Liberal Technologist thing? Just want the government to do the AI Genie's job until the AI Genie wakes up? Like children trying to birth their own parents.

Cancel culture is NEET busybodies making it their day job to hunt for le problematique like bounty hunters (paid in retweets) organizing mobs to campaign to ruin people's lives (for great justice!) Yes, it's free speech! Yes, it's free association! Yes, it has precedents, you savvy insightful geniuses! Most things do, we call that history, and it's full of terrible things we should probably stop doing.

But this modern manifestation of a thing that has precedents and conservatives do too sometimes also has interesting features that are probably worth talking about on their own terms. I repeat: Cancel culture is NEET busybodies making it their day job to hunt for le problematique like bounty hunters, organizing mobs to campaign to ruin people's lives. It's legal, they have every right, and it's shitty, shitty behavior. Please stop denying it's a thing, or alternately trying to whatabout it to death.
Given the global scale I can assure you that the illegality has been proven in many affected countries. The main question is if it's also illegal in the US.

That's a pretty poor assumption. In practice people that choose to become citizen of a country are often prouder and more worthy of it than people who just happened to be born there.
Laptops. Apple is the undisputed king of laptops, and no PC can achieve quiet power in such a light enclosure. I mean, the Macbook Air doesn't even have a fan!
There's one called Smart Recovery that is more along those lines. They put a lot of effort into keeping their practice in line with the state of the art of mainstream mental health and scientific practice around addiction, and are explicitly secular.

They're based around harm reduction, so no day-counting or rigid definition of sobriety like AA which honestly is wonderful and AA could (and does!) learn a lot from it. Alcoholics already carry a lot of shame, increasing it isn't helpful imo.

It doesn't have the reach or widespread cultural awareness that AA does but they still seem pretty common. I think AA is only really a good fit for people who are already religious or are open to becoming so. Otherwise I generally do suggest people try smart recovery first.
What's unethical about offering people jobs? The alternative must be worse for them, otherwise they'd be doing that.
The difference of domestic emissions caused by city vs non-city residence is quite minor, about 10% per person looking at UK numbers. In comparison, a single flight by plane can double a person emission.

It also not clear if using existing numbers of rural living makes sense since most people do not work from home. If the norm is to travel to work, the further people live away from said employment the bigger the footprint will be. Existing numbers reflect that culture.

Looking at CO2 per capita, does the very high density cities of japan have better numbers than say India? No. Japan has 10 times higher than India. Of course we all likely know that that wealth influence emissions, which mean it not that simple to just say that concentrated metro areas are better for the environment than sprawl. Emission rates depend on multiple factors.

I'm sure Elon is aware of this, but he should be prepared to deal with those who oppose freedom, and who flood platforms that do not restrict speech with the most disgusting, degenerate, awful, things possible. There are ways of managing this, but it will turn decent people away. It would be challenging to tolerate them on your own platform, and it is undesirable to use these platforms if you don't have to. There's the rub. The vast majority of, let's call it "communication", on the web is noise. The next largest portion is nonsense. We get all manner of stuff that is unimportant, and then we get the tiny percentage that is stuff that matters, or would matter, if anyone could find it.

The chicken and egg at the center of hope for humanity is the protection of free speech, and right to bear arms. One protects the other, and they both protect everything else.

We have an incredible need for truth, and for insight into what the world's most dangerous people are doing, while virtually all programming is intended to leave people disinterested in the info and condemning of the messengers.

There is a tactic that has not been used against the enemies of humanity, and their flooding any signal with noise..

Every individual has the right to speak freely, with few exceptions. One of them that used to be taught to kids is, "but, you can't shout "FIRE" in a theater when there isn't one". In other words, we're not allowed to communicate lies with the intention of terrorism.

Every individual has freedom of "press". The liars which own "media" (and the reason why Elon is interested in Twitter, and the liars are interested in preventing it) would have you believe that they are press, and you are not... when the truth is liars are not "press", and anyone communicating the truth is.

I have no idea how it would be achieved, but anyone running a free platform these days should look into eliminating liars from it. If anything good could come from AI, it might be the elimination of those useful idiots from platforms who use and tolerate logical fallacies.. but, one step at a time.

I love sarcasm. My daughter loves it too. We sometimes engage in conversation where we're both clearly being sarcastic, but we get increasingly dead pan about it till neither of us is quite sure if the other is still being sarcastic. She termed this a "sarcasm trap" a few years ago. We find it fun to see how far we can take it.

Birds Aren't Real seems way too on the nose for anyone to mistake it as serious, but there are some truly naive/gullible people in the world.
It does, but only if you also add a redundant await. Which I still do, even in TypeScript, unless there’s a compelling performance reason not to. I disagree with the article overall, but I do agree that making asynchrony as explicit as possible is a good idea. Otherwise you end up with code like:

async function foo(bar) {
// ...
}

function nonObviousAsyncFn() {
// ...
return foo(quux);
}

Explicit return types would help, but most people don’t write them unless they’re forced by a linter.

> Their fundamental purpose is to make some fraction of people choose Crest over Colgate

Their fundamental purpose is to convince their boss or client that they are indeed making consumers choose one over the other and make up data and/or theories to support that assertion so they can justify their fees/salaries/bonuses. They don't particularly care whether consumers are actually choosing the product.
At some point I realized that most (all?) Electron apps have web versions that work just fine, and sometimes even better, in the one instance of Chromium I run anyway. I don't need Teams nor Slack (thankfully), but I do use Discord in a browser tab.
I feel the same, and people will misinterpret this outlook as jealousy, which of course, I often feel but try to be conscientious about, when really it's frustration that we endorse a system that plays so unfairly to the huge population of talent in our society who not only do not receive this kind of success but are fully impoverished. It's severely unbalanced and I believe it hinders our creativity as a whole.
The answer is obviously yes.
