> and this results in the conclusion that Linear B is actually a version of a regional [script, not linguistic] dialect of Linear A that was used to write a different language.

I guess that's nice to know, but hasn't it always been known that linear A and B were "related". Regardless, Linear A still hasn't been deciphered and that's what's ultimately important.
Tab completion and zmv are neat, nothing new to learn, no complicated configs.
I agree - I don't believe that there is a grand master plan of a conspiratorial or other nature. I think it is simply, as you stated, a co-evolution of independent actors.
I love this idea. Would be nice to see it in a search engine, or at least a browser extension showing how much analytics junk a site has before you click it.
As far as I understand, if you tip a street musician using Bitcoin, it's also a taxable event in the USA: you have to pay capital gains taxes on the difference between the price you paid for that amount of Bitcoin, and the market price that Bitcoin has now. My understanding is that it's as if, on every Bitcoin transaction, you virtually converted it to dollars and back; that is, from a tax perspective, it's as if you had converted the Bitcoin into cash, tipped the street musician using that cash, and the street musician converted that cash back into Bitcoin, all in a single atomic transaction.

Am I right in concluding this appears to be another closed-source brick which is likely to implode in a few years, as they always do?
I don't disagree in premise, but you're vastly overestimating the average person's computer knowledge (which is annoyingly easy to do).

Even figuring out where Plex wants the video files to be is going to be a lot for some people, much less figuring out how to get the torrent files into that location. That's assuming they've already figured out how to get the drives in, plug it in correctly, partition the system, figure out what software they need, and installed it.

The non-IT people I've talked IT with would struggle with that. E.g. a common misconception is that Explorer is the only way to see or interact with files. They're going to be confused as soon as they have to use something other than Explorer. I don't even know if NFS would help, or if it would be more confusing that a file exists both "in Explorer" and "in the browser".

I think that's why Popcorn Time drew so much heat. It was easy enough that your grandma could use it, which was a problem for IP owners. Usenet doesn't form an existential threat, and the users are motivated enough to find other ways if they need. My grandma is sure as hell not going to be setting up a Plex server running rtorrent with auto-downloaders and auto-sorters to make sure that she gets the latest episodes of her soaps.

p2p is great and has some excellent use cases. We used it on a previous project to download 100+GB patches onto dozens of PCs in a trusted environment using a 100(?)mbps external connection in a couple of minutes.

Torrents are also an incredible piece of technology, allowing tamper resistant distribution of files from untrusted parties - imagine how much value Linux distros glean from being hosted by third parties who voluntarily do so without needing to "partner up"?

I don't disagree that the _primary_ use case is piracy though (and I've yet to see any genuine use cases for web3 suggested either)
I can't edit my comment, so I'll add it here: after looking into it more, this Cyberdeck wouldn't be a reasonable replacement for an Alphasmart or even for the original Model 100. It's way too power hungry.

Is there a board out there you could build a machine around that is low power and fanless? Something that could run on a 4 AA batteries for a month? the Tandy machine couldn't make it that long, but we've come a long way since then. Along the way there have been machines from other companies - Alphasmart, Psion, Sharp, Casio, etc...
So let's recount what Putin has achieved in the last 3 months:

1. Failed to conquer all of Ukraine;

2. Failed to capture Kyiv;

3. Failed to make meaningful gains in the Donbass;

4. Failed to decapitate Ukraine's leadership;

5. Suffered huge casulaties;

6. Done massive damage to the perception of Russia's military (and thus the power it can project);

7. Done more for NATO solidarity than probably anything else in the last 20 years when previous to this, there wasn't a lot as much fervour for NATO;

8. Prompted Finland and Sweden to join NATO when previously they were happy being neutral;

9. Russia is now subject to broad sanctions where previously Europe was looking to increase gas dependence on Russia (eg Nord Stream 2).

So Putin has quite literally achieved nothing. A lot of this was foreseeable too, which is why many (including myself) thought Putin wouldn't invade.

The question now is what is Putin's state of mind? Is he aware of the true position (as in, is he getting accurate assessments and intelligence or just "yes men")? Does he still think he can "win"? What does "winning" even look like now? A rational person would be looking for a face-saving exit (think "mission accomplished"). I thought that might be occupying the Donbass and negotiating for some autonomy for the region but even that is starting to look out of reach.

My concern is that someone cornered like this after making such a huge gamble at terrible cost is capable of doing something even more awful.
No, it was a web-based prototype in the browser. It was so nice because the key bindings worked exactly as you'd expect when it came to adding new tasks, setting hierarchy etc, no fiddling.
No, I mean people who earn $100-200k/year and do nothing. Consumer products company had hundreds of these people.
So instead of affirming your sovereignity and your ties to the West, you would cut your ties? I think it has proven useful to have those ties when the invasion is on. If it doesn't come to an invasion, Russia kills you slowly with a strong embrace.
Yep the West and China have to lead the way on alternatives that are cheaper than coal/oil, India is decades behind them on GDP/capita . We need to quit pointing fingers and just do it. We'll spend trillions of dollars on unwinnable wars but won't do the same with energy research that could solve a much bigger problem, the demise of human civilization.
Badly put. Only that the cost might well not drop. Whether it needs to rise significantly I don't know.
I have heard something similar.

There is a phone app, I think it was called “MeowTalk” that purported to machine learn cats vocalizations.

With two of our younger (4yo sibling tabby) cats it seemed to “translate” their infrequent meows as “I love you” “I want to play”, so kind of, yea, probably, not impressive.

But for our third cat, (an elderly female cross somewhere between Maine coon, silver tabby and sofa, a 22 pound ball of complaints) the app suggestions were often along the lines of “I don’t feel well”, “I’m in pain”. She does have arthritis (and
is under vet care) so that response from the app was
seemingly reasonable.
Well, I like it and that’s a good reason for me.
This is far from true. Either via trojans, botnets, "crowd sourced vpns", or of course tor relays, residential IPs are a source of many bots. The overwhelming majority of spam sources (after you block a few data centers in NL).
There was this suggestion to conduct a sting operation of displaying captcha to a sample of users to determine the % of the bots.

Probably picking the sample is still challenging but at least can somewhat tell if the accounts in the sample are genuine.

The method in this article is so flawed that Larry Ellison, founder of a famous law firm, would count as an inactive account since haven't tweeted since 2012[0] and that person apparently looks into investing in Twitter[1]. How can be investing a billion in Twitter when he doesn't use Twitter at all?

> That's not web3.

This sentence is emblematic of the major problem with discussions of "web3" right now. There are dozens of different definitions of web3 that all conflict with each other in one way or another; the only thing people seem to agree on is that web3 involves blockchain somehow. With so many different versions, it's hard to have a conversation because any criticism invariably ends up with people jumping in with "well, that's not really web3!"

Have you tried tweeting at them :P

Edit add: I find it horrible that we have companies that you can not contact, in fact they seem to be going out of their way to make hard to contact them.

Even things you pay money for, like airline tickets. They want you to email them, make the phone number hard to find. So you do, they don't respond and then you have to search and call them, wait an hour or more on hold. The agents are nice but the entire process is terrible.

Earlier I had to do that for a damaged luggage claim. Went through the automated phone assistant to get to damaged luggage claims and it gave the option to use text messages. So I give it a try, nope. They can't resolve the issue through text, has to be on the phone. So I had to call back, re-enter all the info through the automated system and then ignore it's pleadings to use the text system.
"Active user" is a common industry term with a well-defined meaning. It's misleading to use it to mean something else, particularly when there are a number of more appropriate choices, e.g. "20% of Twitter posters".

I see people are forgetting the only reason we care about this number is because someone was not confortable with what bots and non bots were saying.
If they are bots or not is just a convenience because of the price.

Hubitat’s UI looks like it came from the early 2000s. There’s a small learning curve to get used to its philosophy, but it’s pretty consistent. Once you get it, it’s stupidly easy.

I mean for your case, as a dashboard, HA might be better because the Hubitat UI is pretty ugly.
Thanks! thats exactly the goal. Find unique things and share them slowly.
It makes iteration less error-prone too when the index of the last element is equal to the length of the array. In C it’s pretty easy to iterate past the end of an array if you use <= by mistake in a for loop, or forget a “length - 1” somewhere.

Putin’s Ukraine War Fail: The Ukrainian Military Is at the Russian Border
They both border the Baltic Sea. Russian fighters frequently violate Swedish air space. They're close enough to matter.
The question here is are these merely just bugs or is there something about the language that makes Julia error prone?

There is potential in using Julia's type inference engine to check for correctness. For example see JET.jl. "JET.jl employs Julia's type inference to detect potential bugs."

https://github.com/aviatesk/JET.jl
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eOiGc8wfE0

The video brings up some potential difficulties with Julia's metaprogramming facilities for static or lexical analysis, but also shows that these issues are also addressable.

The type inference system could be exploited for further effect. For example, the type system could be extended to check for shape information within the type as demonstrated in this prototype:
https://twitter.com/KenoFischer/status/1407810981338796035

Julia has guard rails (e.g. default bounds checking), but also also provides facilities to work outside them (`@inbounds`, `unsafe_*` methods, `ccall`, in-place methods with a `!` suffix). Typically these provide features that trade safety for performance or access to features. Used judiciously one can achieve a balance between performance and safety. Julia is not a language that restricts its users to a sandbox in the name of safety, but it does provide bounds of where the sandbox is and is not.

Another take away from the original blog post is that much Julia development is happening in the open on Github. These issues and their fixes just require a Github account to contribute to. Is this a feature?
That seems to be common practice by now. Had nearly the exact same thing happen with a Microsoft account. I posted a technical question on their forums and did not give out my mobile number on account creation. Account was locked shortly after without any explanation. Then decided it was not worth it and tried to delete the account. I would have needed to give my mobile number again to even get the option to delete it...

Of course you cannot contact support without an account either. Well, their dead database entry then.
As someone who has worked in product design for many years, the most important part of the job is making sure bad changes and ideas don't get pushed out. Yes, making sure they don't do anything is a crucial part of the job and I'm always very busy with that part of things, especially if it's something that comes down from the C-level.
I don't get these complaints about `sum!(a, a)`. Sure it's a bit of a footgun that you can overwrite the array you are working with. This doesn't rise to a "major problem" of composability.

The histogram errors seem annoying though. Hopefully they can get fixed.
I didn't realize bilingual auto correct existed until now. How did you set that up?

At this point I just buy new phone mobile number lines as an overhead cost

With voip numbers being basically banned in 7 out of 10 services, I’m too privileged to be trying these infinite workarounds aside from just adding another line

Since I’m not trying to be anonymous (to a subpoena) but nobody else can tell the user is the same and assume people won’t bother with paying for an additional phone number or device, so its fine, for now

Iphones have dual sims though
I am extremely out of the loop on the latest crypto developments / schemes, but

FriendlyElec has a range of boards under their NanoPi brand that might fit:

https://www.friendlyelec.com/index.php?route=product/categor...

The NEO Air in particular is a very compact board using an Allwinner chip, which works pretty well under Linux including such niceties as support for the integrated power management chip.

I also recently got a couple of the Space Cats Jeter Nano boards. They’re more on par with the VoCore, performance-wise, but with a lot of GPIOs on more hobbyist-friendly (read: breadboard-ready) connectors.
Yeah, I think 99% of the real-world usage of YAML would trivially convert to JSON. Just static data.

If you need weird complex stuff, use a real scripting language like Lua or something. It should be faster than a YAML parser, at least.
> They talk about "active" accounts (meaning have tweeted in the last 9 weeks),

This is not their definition, that's what Twitter considers an active account in their revenue reports.

> has no relation

It has some relation, no? I wouldn't be surprised if there is a strong correlation between how frequently a user sends tweets and how monetizable that user is.
It's not an active account if by "active" they mean "generating content". While Twitter isn't a typical content aggreagation site like Youtube or Reddit, tweets are still "content" in the sense that they drive further user engagement on the site.
American media I think is completely done with Covid reporting, realizing that they have exhausted the public's appetite for it.

It's hard to avoid the temptation to blame the news media for the pseudo-populist dysfunction of the American political system at the moment.
>Turkey has long been the champion of secularism in the area, and obviosuly everyone in NATO (and elsewhere) hopes that will remain the case, hence one is reluctant to push Turkey away too.

Exactly. With all the faults of current Turkish government, they are a mile ahead of everyone else in Middle East. The problem is the comparison: they were going forward with EU membership - their government just was way more sane in the past... And there's decent chance that Erdogan will be voted out in 2023.

The theory is that people are incentivized to contribute to the p2p ecosystem. Unfortunately, the visionaries behind it probably didn’t predict that the user base (and therefore the next generations of developers) would be dominated by scammers and charlatans. Most of those projects didn’t even become decentralized, having a heavy UI on top of a thin blockchain.

I think the original vision might be possible to pull off if redesigned to ward against that sort of thing. Successfully rebranding it would be one of the harder problems I would imagine.
The money is not evenly distributed does not imply that the crappy schools are the ones with no money.

I've had a couple of conversations on twitter with Viral B Shah (co creator of Julia) which I found unprofessional, so I stopped learning Julia. Unless he was just having a very bad day, in my opinion he takes badly to minor criticism of Julia (although others might disagree).

Edit, here is one thread I could find quickly: <EDIT2: edited out link which most people seem to think is actually fine, just people getting slightly annoyed on Twitter. I deleted the link as people were going and interacting with people in the old thread>

The comments aren't particularly bad, but they do feel to me like making a bad faith interpretation of someone's comment, then digging in. I don't feel that's a good way to talk to users, and ethos comes from the top.
>What you lament is that so many of our "PC" systems seem to have wasted processing potential

That's not my lament. I don't care at all about not wasting processing power.

I care about the fact that it's so difficult for people to use their existing computers in ways that were not intended by their manufacturers, that even technically adept people will just buy a new computer rather than deal with it.

It should be easy to install some new software on any of your computers (router or desktop or TV or phone or whatever) and have it do some useful new thing. But it's not.
