This is true, but it also applies to the tech sector as a whole.
The engineers of big tech companies tend to look down on all other engineers on the basis that they happen to work for financially successful companies which have market monopolies (and are propped up by easy money from government money printers via huge contracts and exposure to public markets).

Never mind that their processes are a bureaucratic hell and it takes 100 of their engineers to implement the same thing which just 1 really good engineer working for a startup could implement in the same amount of time - Look at Whatsapp as an example; before they were acquired, they had hundreds of millions of users and only 55 engineers in total... Facebook has over 10K of them and gets a lot less done...

Talent outside of big tech is not unusual; it is the norm, but most startups which are full of talented engineers don't go on to become Whatsapp because the market doesn't care about technical talent above a certain (rather low) threshold.

Everything is a lottery. Any appearance of meritocracy is an illusion crafted by media and PR firms in an effort to keep the system from falling apart. Only extremely lucky, delusional outliers think that the narratives make sense nowadays.... Through a lot of people who know that the narratives don't make sense still pretend that they do.
Crypto Could Be Contagious
Agree nothing more hostile than going to reddit on a mobile device these days.
Hardly sasquatch. It's extremely common where I work. Your experience simply isn't representative of the population.

Also these days clients don't have much of a problem handling things. I don't know exactly when, but at some point I went from not being able to paste excel into an email without it being unusably messy to having it paste nearly perfectly on formatting.
if you need an example of "hands on the wheel" look to nvidia's attempted purchase of ARM. all board says ok, all shareholders ok, passed through a lot of paperwork but no deal in the end.

Both Nvidia and ARM definitely needed "hands on wheel" regardless of what happened.

any company at this size needs "hands on wheel"
Sure it's macro. But if crypto is dragging down the rest of the market what does that say about the market?

We conclude that a previously unidentified cholinergic deficit, identifiable by abnormal -BChEsa, is present at birth in SIDS babies and represents a measurable, specific vulnerability prior to their death.

They're both calls to action: avoid cyberpunk, seek solarpunk. We've gotten so much "avoid this" fiction in the past decades that people are just burnt out and actual visions of a positive future have been largely absent since Star Trek, so it makes sense to say "hey, you know all these abstract political ideas that we talk about? this is what the world might look like if we implemented them". Nothing about solarpunk says that it is the default outcome. No reasonable person thinks that it is. It's an ideal to fight for.

The era of collapse fiction like cyberpunk has only really given rise to one political movement: accelerationism. Whose defining trait is "if the world's going to collapse, we should probably hurry it along so we can see if there's anything to salvage afterwards".
awesome take
It's tough because you don't want the formatting...until you. If I'm editing text that has a few bolded words I'd be immediately annoyed if the pasted text didn't have the bolded instances.
awk is a tool for handling records in text. csv is a textual format for records.

I'd argue that needing a different tool for handling records in text so that you can pass it to a tool for handling records in text is a bit too far.

I've had an idea written down for a while about how it would be cool to have a tool like this but as a browser extension. It would show you exactly what on the page has been changed and also notify you when changes occur to pages or articles you "subscribe" to.

The idea would be that you can "subscribe" to news articles that are often updated, redacted, changed etc. with information that completely changes the entire story. Think about a major national event where the first reports were completely wrong, it's updated 3 days later with correct information, but the public still primarily believes the first version of the story.

Anyways, figured I'd share this idea (since ideas are worth $0 without execution). Hoping diffchecker or someone else could tackle a project like this!
I cannot replicate this on my M1 MBP running 12.3.1.
The majority of people I know who are into crypto buy the hype and believe their own bullshit. The cynical opportunists seem to be a minority.
Within the same application and document, it can make sense. That's not what people are raging about though.

I hate myself each time I'm using LibreOffice just for this reason, why the hell would that be the norm?

I feel that way about your average day traders, leveraged buyers and short sellers, but these were largely people who thought they were getting 20%. Not quite degenerate gambler metrics.

Who are you to tell him that feeling hate and bitterness is unhealthy? Bitterness is useful, it helps us protect our values and helps prevent anti social behavior.
Exactly! Also, some are wronger than others.
Even if it doesn't have goals and it just a tool-AI, if a human operator asks it to destroy humanity it will comply as programmed. Current level AI is about average human level in hundreds of tasks and exceeding human level in a few.
That site is the one I used to get started with JS many moons ago when all they offered were that, HTML, and CSS. It's a fantastic resource that I can't recommend enough.
There is no clean energy, just some that are cleaner than others.

For every solar panel, there's a pile of toxic garbage that must be dealt with after ~20 years. It's unquestionably better than the billions of tonnes of CO2 that would be produced by the equivalent coal plant, but it's still a problem.

There is no "ethical consumption" of cryptocurrency.

Good catch, I didn't see that!
It seems most of my posts here end up being a complaint about MS Teams. So here is another. Teams will happily take the formatting of "black text" from copying from Word for example. But anyone who is using a dark theme on Teams now can't read it because it "intelligently" kept the formatting that didn't even matter because it was just "plain back text". Had it been copied from something that didn't specify that formatting, it would have just worked.
Being so proud you lose your sanity? That's quite odd. It's an insane amount of hyperbole.
Reason one is that one doesn’t generally connect to an access point (BSSID), but rather to a an SSID. That SSID may have many access points, as the device may roam. Periodic scans check to see if another access point for the same SSID is now a better choice, and switch accordingly. On Linux, configuring the connection to a specific BSSID generally disables periodic scans.

Reason two is to determine location from WiFi network data. Location may not be static even if connected to a single network, since that network may cover a large area and be roam-able, or be moving (hotspot, train, etc.).
I think it depends on your workflow -- I'd tend to assume the receiving end has some formatting, and it would be best if the copied text was fit that formatting, rather than bringing formatting with it. Ultimately though it seems pretty arbitrary, I guess they just went with the default that benefits what they assumed would be the most popular workflow.

I dunno, we should all just use LaTeX to avoid these kinds of issues.
> In the enterprise, if someone high ranking is going to be replaced, they're never fired unless there was company-hostile bad behavior.

What? Perhaps in shitty companies that are incapable of making tough decisions, but this is definitely not my experience.

On the contrary, for most cases I don't think there is much "shame" for being fired as a senior exec because a lot of times it's just that there are disagreements among senior leadership about where to take the company, and so it's better to have people leave who aren't on board with the company direction than to have those disagreements fester.
Copying a table is one thing, copying font style is another, I think.

At least in the US, this seems to be empirically false.

Twitter will never succeed without satisfying the old school whims of HN users.
On Mac you can do shift+option+command+v to paste with formatting removed.
If you generate a static page, you have to upload it to something to host it. Wix and Squarespace handle that "last mile" for you. You drag and drop things to get the layout you want, click the publish button, and it's live. They also support things like response forms, etc., that you'd otherwise have to manage yourself.

I wouldn't use Wix or similar for those things, but after seeing how someone less technical uses them, I see the appeal.
The market isn't down because of crypto.
I like the option. If I want the formatting stripped I paste the text into notepad++, then copy that text. Otherwise I get all the formatting and don't need to reapply it.
The danger is really us, the ones who might task the AI to do something bad. Even if the AI has no ill intentions it might do what is asked.
This is the one time keeping format is useful. I still frequently have to paste a table or graph as an image, because it still changes on paste.
>What? You lose nothing but a perception of privacy in the theoretical case of a backdoor to encryption, we have rule of law ffs.

We lost that perception years ago when Snowden revealed it was all backdoored anyway. I do not know what rule of law you are referring to.

>If we ban cars tomorrow society grinds to a halt, there will be mass starvation. If we ban e2e encryption in consumer products tomorrow nothing changes.

I do not think anyone serious is referring to banning all cars period. The discussion is more like creating more spaces where large vehicles are de prioritized or not allowed and walking and bicycling are prioritized such that there is greatly reduced risk of being run over. Also included are probably returning cars to smaller sizes and to reduce the severity of injuries and increased visibility.

Banning e2e does change something. Maybe not visibly, and not exactly tomorrow, but it certainly enables and progresses the mission of those wanting to limit civil rights.
Restoring a historical object and making deliberate, unnecessary alterations is perverse. If the bottom half of the Mona Lisa was destroyed in a fire would you find it acceptable for the conservator to paint her in a blazer?
If the deal falls through then Twitter will probably have to announce some big changes to keep its stock price from falling too much. Although this move could have been made after the deal's collapse is announced but maybe he wants to have things in place before that happens.
Ah the classic coiner refrain. Thanks bud. We do. We really, really do.

We've spent many years learning exactly what those things are thanks to all this insufferable nonsense. I know more about crypto than practically 90% of the crypto community. I know all the personalities, the history, the fraud, the crime, the grift. I've read countless whitepapers. I've learned about 'traditional' finance.

All because of the brigading army of the insufferable.
A lot of the tech sector stocks are crashing hard too, not only crypto.
I feel bad for those who lost on a risky bet.

I am, however, looking forward to replacing my 970 with a more modern graphics card! Haven't seen the pallets of 3080TIs showing up on eBay yet, though...
No, the lower court issued an injunction and the higher court lifted it. The case is still being argued.
Makes complete sense to me for LTRs.

Being responsible for my own happiness is enough. Being responsible for mine AND someone else’s happiness is too difficult to sustain long term.

Step 1: Learn to fulfill your own happiness.
Step 2: Find someone that can do the same.

I can intuitively get a sense that someone generates their own happiness (with a varying degree of accuracy). Though it’s highly dependent on facial cues, tonal intonation, and conversation. Until big data gets hold of this information (and I hope it never does), it probably won’t be able to be an accurate match maker.

Dating can be fun, why take the fun out of it? It’s the joy of meeting someone interesting after a bunch of bad dates that kicks your brain into gear and excites you about discovering that person. A perfect match maker might inadvertently destroy itself by taking the spice out of dating.
I love this. He intuitively knew the stuff I wrote in my comment and didn’t let his pride distract him from his mission.
>...I really don't think there's anyone involved in crypto that is deliberately "winning".

I believe that bitcoin began as a straightforward "pump and dump" scheme, dressed up in a techno-libertarian narrative to appeal to its intended marks, young tech males with disposable income. As the size of the market has grown, I suspect the original cartel holds a smaller percentage of the outstanding supply, but I'll bet it's still enough to move the market deliberately when they choose.
I appreciate anecdotes as much as the next person but you're not responding to what I actually wrote; I am simply saying that it is not in the hands of most developers to use/not use these tools. They get no choice. Therefore blaming them is misplaced.

Most developers also don't think they're working at the next Google. There's a different group within many software companies that likes to think so, usually not your ICs.
Fucking Microsoft. Why can't things be simple and standardized?
The point spread function of the detector is pretty well characterized, and from there the image is basically just a Fourier transform. It's not as magical as you might think.

Then it looks like they average a bunch of these images to get a maximum likelihood image. What is your issue with that?

Besides, to calibrate on a known celestial body, they'd have to have another micro-arcsecond resolution radio telescope to use. Do you have one they can borrow?
I don’t know why you think that. As soon as it is viable, some unscrupulous actor will surely program an AI with the goal of “make money and give it to me”, and if that AI is able to self modify, well that’s all that’s required for that experiment to end badly because decent AI alignment is basically intractable.
I'm kinda hoping that reddit will finally remove old.reddit and the old design, not that I think the new design is good but it would finally make me drop reddit from my social media addiction.

The only difference being I don't shill pyramid schemes on the internet for profit.

I kinda sit back and wait and take profit when it makes sense to me.

I certainly don't tell other people about it when I do it.
If you are copying over, for example, a paragraph or a list for a paper, you'd want the formatting, right? (I don't really have a horse in this fight, primarily use LaTeX for this sort of stuff, but I find it vaguely interesting -- it seems to be a case where people have workflows that they are really invested in).

>Instead, JPEGs and skeuomorphic representations of traditional financial vehicles in web3 space.

As with previous crypto crashes, the chaff is gonna die, and the grain will remain (Bitcoin, ethereum, maybe a few others). Then a new spike to a new all time high will occur after the next bitcoin halving.
For all your window dressing, you want to destroy communities, force people out of their homes, and coerce adherence to your viewpoint on how people should live.

Whatever injustice you think you’d be correcting, the one you’d be promulgating would be just as immoral.

You pretend to lofty ideals because you cannot actually justify the real human costs incurred by your desired form of government social engineering.
I'm starting to think I've used the wrong units in my comment.

10k people per square kilometre is over twice as dense as an average European city, or around the density of New York.

There's a lot of middle ground between that and rural life.
Notes from Underground
I doubt crypto is the driver. Seems more likely that institutional investors are pulling out of cryptos as inflation spikes. So crypto crash is an effect, not a cause.
Failed to verify the token, as in the user did not have valid authorization to download the file.

Something like this would really help cutting down on unwanted bot requests as each valid request could be traced back to a user and abusive users could be banned.

But if the "failed" requests still cause a charge on your account, this wouldn't really work as intended.

Just trying to think of reliable ways to defend against bot downloading causing massive charges, but also without letting them take down the entire site by triggering something like a billing cap. Hostile world out there...
What does a "head of consumer product" do? Has Twitter's platform/offering changed all that much in 7 years?
I ended up buying a blocker to block Reddit on my device because of the pain. It’s a shame I couldn’t stop visiting the website just from willpower though.
I've been using Twitter since it's main novelty was that it was a successful Ruby on Rails app, and honestly I've been trying to figure out where the exit is for my personal use of Twitter lately. If the acquisition goes through, Twitter won't make enough money to service it's debt, and the things they will do to fix that are pretty much guaranteed to lower the quality of the platform, which frankly has never worked very well for me anyways. The fact that they're doing a leadership purge right now is not helping my opinion on this.

I also think the proposal to have Twitter allow all content that is "legal under US law" is a dangerous idea for the platform being a healthy community that most people actually want to participate in. Content moderation debates have never been so ham-fisted as they are online so I won't try here, suffice to say there's some pretty horrible, disgusting things that are "legal under US law" (and as a content moderator, I've seen them all). If Twitter allows people to do them, it will make it difficult for Twitter to maintain a healthy community, and the platform could quickly devolve into a scarychan-style sewer that only the craziest people on the internet will want to dwell in. To say nothing about whether advertisers will tolerate some of it, or even Apple's app store.

There's an emergent quality to AI models. Not all statistical models can dream pandas on the moon or solve hundreds of tasks, even without specific training.
Great comment / quote.

FWIW, I don't identify as Christian, but was raised as such by devout parents. The Bruggemann citation reminds me of a book "The Jesus I Never Knew" which, despite the cringe-inducing title, is worthwhile, as a non-religious look at the life of the historical person Jesus of Nazareth. If Christianity had developed differently, in an alternate reality where its adherents modelled their behavior on that person's teachings, what a different world it'd be.

A blogger named Andrew Sullivan coined a term "Christianist" to avoid conflating followers of Jesus' teachings with the nationalistic right-wing political movement that's highjacked the GOP. I hope the term catches on.
Thank you for taking the time.
Exactly. Direct your hate to the fed who is manipulating the market and toying with people's livelihoods.
I would be very happy if it (asking to login) is gone. If that's the case then I can keep being away from social media accounts and still casually surf twitter.

> "Just under 40% of all new apartments were in the 70 sqm (753 sq.ft) range, while just 9.1% were sized between 80 ~ 100 sqm. The biggest shift is in the 30 ~ 50 sqm (323 ~ 538 sq.ft) sector where the total share has increased by 3.1 points to 10% in 2019."

https://nypost.com/2022/03/03/why-the-size-of-an-nyc-apartme...

> "Data collected from 765 residential Manhattan buildings shows that their apartments grew from 950 square feet to 975 square feet on average over the last five years — roughly a 5% increase... Despite much-hyped tiny housing trends, the vast majority of new development in the city over the last 20 years has been in the “luxury” sector (i.e., larger than average). Meanwhile, each year, unit combinations enlarge the average square footage of individual apartments, while shrinking the city’s housing stock."

That's actually the opposite trend on size in both places, isn't it?
Tangential question: who all previously had a Twitter account, abandoned it, then came back when Elon Musk announced he was buying it?
>"Since the interferometric measurements are often incomplete in the Fourier domain, the inverse problem of reconstructing an image from the observed data set is usually underdetermined.

It might be more accurate to say, scarcity issues are worst when neither party advocates for abundance.

In housing, neither party advocates for densification nor deregulation on the front of zoning; instead party lines revolve around subsidized housing, mortgage industry regulation, etc.

In medicine neither party talks about increasing the supply of doctors(or the ability for hospitals to deliver care more efficiently without being hamstrung by insurance), party lines are fought over who pays for it.

In education the two sides might bicker over affirmative action and how Harvard decides which high school seniors get to attend; but not whether it’s OK that the worlds foremost university accepts only 2000 undergrads a year.

None of these are easy problems to solve, but the common theme is that both parties accept the status quo. Housing is scarce, desirable education is scarce, medical care is scarce.

On the other hand, food or gas prices start moving and it becomes a priority political issue for the current administration guaranteed. It’s night and day.
That's exactly what got me to use nitter.net to browser twitter. No forced logins. No time limits. No trending section. Most javascript is disabled (you have to click a button to enable it to even play videos). Just tweets.
