Right direction, not far enough

Steep fines are barely a speed bump to either a profitable business or a scammer. They take years to actually get implemented, don't survive bankruptcy and get reduced in court.

Jail time. Mandatory. Zero room for judges and juries to go easy on the perps.

Even this does not stop white-collar crime, but it maybe slows just a little bit of it.
Awesome thank you for that insight sounds great ! If I had any free time would be a fun project to try to implement the API in Unreal but really not necessary game looks great amazing work!
Looks amazing, would love a port to Nintendo Switch, though I understand that might be very unrealistic.
Queen – Don't Stop Me Now on 8 Electric Devices
Disagree, it should be doable..

- Fund your brand new eth account by swapping from XMR via a DEX

- do the shenanigans

- exit your ETH back into XMR via the DEX

- do whatever with the XMR?

Of course there's a lot more when it comes to metadata leakage and there is a lot to learn before you can use XMR with a high degree of privacy.

You also have to remember that this guy was caught by fairly basic on-chain research by crypto Twitter so even some basic measures could have saved him, or could have prevented the charges which may not have been brought against him if it wasn't a slam-dunk case with such obvious evidence.
Or the known knowns which I just ignored.
Agree completely. The base idea might have some merit but the way it's been deployed is atrocious.
> This problem is much worse for "open" systems in which the protocols are public or in which the clients are open source because in those systems anyone can build their own client that interoperates with the system but doesn't correctly run the classifier (i.e., it lies!), which makes the system far less useful.

Bold of you to assume that open systems will be allowed under these rules.

In fact, someone who is conspiracy minded might imagine that these rules are being introduced with the specific intent to make open source projects and platforms unable to compete with those of proprietary companies (who have bigger lobbying budgets).
A tool to check all NPM package maintainers for unregistered domains to hijack
I think good arguments often have to begin with an assertion that "we aren't as dumb as we tend to think" and introduce color that gives the average person the benefit of the doubt. This post does that nicely.

> "Their inability to suss out all possible downsides of a set of EULAs..."

This is the part I quibble with, however. This assumes folks even read legal-speak. Privacy laws have undermined this by forcing more text and more "I see, I agree, go away" links/checkboxes/buttons in front of people. The problem isn't the EULAs, the problem is that no sane person can (or should) keep up with it.

Yes, sometimes people can be surprising. My wife has an awesome t-shirt from MailChimp from a not-so-hidden "if you read this, you get a free shirt!" clause she found in their legal stuff. But relative to the amount of cheap "consent" given, this is a huge outlier.

That said, I also have to give kudos to some of the lawyers I've worked with in the GDPR/CCPA/etc era. At least at the point of purchase, there was no better corporate consumer advocate of "boil it down to two or three crystal clear sentences and link to the details, which must cut to the chase" to be found.
Because there may not be that many themes.
Appendix: the VM footprint number doesn't really give us a breakdown since it includes executable and shared libs mappings. I ran the second compile again with the memory-optimized build, and this time captured a pmap.

Here you can also see the full command, confirming the compile job:

You can see the 11700K fairly closely matches the earlier VIRT figure of 11964.

Anyway, look at the [ anon ] heap area: it's like 6-something megs. That's it. That's where all the dynamic Lisp stuff is. All the predefined symbols and function bindings and whatnot, and all the objects allocated during the compile job.

libz is new; I integrated libz into TXR in just the most recent release. It happens to be number 277, so I code named it (L)Z77.
Ridiculous to make an unsatisfied statement like that
Looks and feels polished. Only gripe is that I have to spam the keys to make it go in the direction I want.

Perhaps, you can queue the key presses, so that I can press left then up, and it'll actually do left then up.

At the moment, the 2nd key press doesn't activate to avoid turning into itself, but that shouldn't be my problem if I spam key presses too fast.

Ha, I was trying to debate the cost of paying 10$ a month for a subscription like this, and this might have changed the way I look at it. As a developer I wasn't thinking about "how much I am willing to pay for it and how much use I get out of it", I was thinking from a "how much does it cost Kagi" perspective.

I do not care much about ads or privacy from Kagi (I use adblock + I won't use kagi for private searches). But I think the features just make it worth it.

Google's Borg clusters don't have wildly larger sizes than that despite having more years of development and a lot of motivation at that scale. They instead have a lot of clusters and transparent inter-cluster network topologies (i.e. you can choose clusters with very high bandwidths to each other).

The fundamental design just isn't infinitely scalable, and at a certain point, you might rather have some bulkheads/autonomy or regional diversity.

I am 50+ and no not at all. Quite the opposite. Having 25+ years of experience in very different software development contexts makes most things super easy to figure out. I have either done something similar before, or I have proven general solutions that can be easily applied to specific cases. Having said that, I also very carefully manage my diet and exercise. Learning as much as I can about keeping my body and mind healthy. That might be a reason as well?
I'm a Kansan as well. If you move to some areas of Kansas you don't have to mow at all for >half the summer since grass needs water to grow. :)
I’d quit tomorrow if my company offered a decent severance package. I’m super burned out and with attrition and hiring freezes, I’m stuck with double the workload. I wake up in the middle of the night stressing and full of anxiety about going to work. I despise going to work on Mondays due to the slog of meetings all day long. Writing software used to be fun and I’d do it after hours as a hobby. Now, I can’t stand the thought and just hope I can get 3-5 more years in the industry before I bail out for good.
Are you sure it's thousand? "m" is the common British abbreviation for million, while "M" would be the Roman abbreviation for a thousand. Plus, frankly only 10,000 Indian manuscripts seems way too low. India is huge, and has been literate for thousands of years.
I would love to see the following... I think Ill try a short story about:

---

In preparation for a global war, a plan was put in place, in accordance with Continuity of Government ; Project Celestial Constellation.

A global network of subterranian launch facilities. Massive in scale. Their purpose: to re-spawn orbital assets as required to maintain Total Global Awareness in the event of Planetary Cataclysms.

There are four classifications of facility, each with a specific mission to re-establish, maintain and defend the Communications Constellation.

One facility is to clear orbital debris. One is to launch replacement communication constellations. and one serves to defend against orbital attacks against these assets.

The worst part.... the rebels are attacking the re-spawns as they launch. We have lost nearly 100 this year alone...
Why Intel chose Columbus, Ohio to build chips
Very true. Also video games, and particularly rendering.

> Google's messaging app mess

No, do you have first hand experience with deep rural areas? If those men hadn't been agents of the state they would have found another way to do those or similar things, because that is what they wanted to do and they sought out the power that would allow them to do it.

I do support abolishing the police and all forms of carceral justice, for what it's worth. Possibly the state too, sure, eventually.

But I do not accept, right now that diminishing all forms of the state in favor of elevating personal and corporate power is a reasonable path.

Obviously the answer is to produce things that they and others want. That's a sufficient incentive proven by everyone that does subsistence farming or has a hobby... We don't need profit and capital accumulation to survive and do cool shit.
To abuse Chesterton’s analogy a bit, I suspect that some of the fences only keep in google-shaped sheep. Sometimes the best way to find out which fences are necessary is to tear them all down.
It’s not easy; even with the resources. The Kardashians don’t have the level of resources (money) Warren Buffet or Bill Gates have; but have at least 10x the amount of coverage and top headlines. Elon Musk BUILT his PR. He has some 90M followers on Twitter, that took over a decade to build. Tesla and SpaceX have both been on the verge of complete bankruptcy SEVERAL times.

The fact that Tesla is the ONLY Fortune 100 company in the world without a Public Relations department and STILL manages to be #1 in the news—globally—nearly every single day… It’s insane for you to suggest it’s all because of “resources.”

Why doesn’t Rivian have that kind of coverage? I don’t even know who the CEO of Rivian is. Do you know who runs Intel or AMD? Can you tell me who runs Saudi Aramco or Samsung? What’s Samsung’s latest and most exciting product? What’s Tesla’s?

You probably know, even if you don’t want to admit you know. Cybertruck is one. They got solar roofs, a new Roadster… The craziest part is… You will probably make fun of how these products were already supposed to be in production; but they haven’t been for YEARS, and they are STILL among the most anticipated and highest in-demand products that barely exist. We are talking tens, if not hundreds, of billions of dollars in revenue of anticipation. WITHOUT ADVERTISING.

The only other company to do that well without advertising is Apple. They have never advertised a new phone before its release. Ever. The iPad was the first iOS device to receive advertising before launch.
Possible, but that wouldn't explain the lack of posts from anyone else. I checked once or twice, but at most I see folks organically posting once every 6 months or less - at this point I think I'd be surprised if anyone saw those posts.
I have often thought that we may regret abandoning the shortwave band for broadcasting in the future. Being able to transmit over the horizon without the requirement to launch something into space is quite the boon, and may suddenly become more useful than we think should spacefaring nations decide to declare war on each other.

Patents are a very broad instrument, and their practical length can be either quite short or crushingly large depending on which industry we are talking about. when your time to market from patent to actual use in the field can be measured in minutes, and first mover advantage leads to a patent locking an industry down, then sure, the current system is too much. But there are fields where the distance between patent and first use in industry can be 8-10 years, and no product gains wide adoption in the first couple of years, so the practical time of patent exploitation is a whole lot shorter.

It's just unfortunate that more nuance legislation will get us people playing games to define inventions as the most protected thing possible, whether they really deserve it or not.
Lol, I'm sure it will achieve that.

Cool! Will that be continuous queries that can be used for downsampling?

I'm working on load testing and monitoring tools. Since either can produce enough metrics to overflow available storage, the downsampling story ends up as important as write speed for me. I imagine that's true of a lot of metric database scenarios--what happens if they go on...forever?

Huh, I enjoy a muted slackbot. Are you sure it’s not just that you can’t mute slackbot when a personal at-mention is “injected” in slackbot’s message? Because yea that’s annoying af. That comes from slack app developers not understanding the platform though. At-mentions should only be used with intention, and obviously an at-mention in a DM is completely unnecessary.
The "best" is when you can't even sign up without having an account at a Large Company e.g. gmail or outlook. I'm not sure what that's supposed to prevent issues with.

Yeah. h265 encoding is quite expensive so to be doing it live there is a tradeoff with speed/size. If you take a look at most cameras (I have Fujifilm XT4), if you're recording at 4k resolution with h265 at 60fps, you're looking at 400Mb/s. Which is still not much compared to something like say ProRes422 (~100MB/s)
And nothing compared to raw uncompressed video (recorduing the literal raw video bytes coming uncompressed via HDMI cable) where you can get to something like 1GB/s even (https://www.gammaraydigital.com/blog/just-how-big-are-those-...). In fact in my above commands if you just keep the `rawvideo` format without passing any encoder and try to save to a file, you'll see how large these files can get!

Ever since I started playing with video recording I ended up getting a NAS with 10Gb/s ethernet card, definitely helps!

Thanks! I'd say that the most important "resource" is dedication. Anything else is just matter of doing it until it works. We've been chipping away for so many years without an end in sight and if just one of us gave up, that would be probably the end of it.

Of course my degree in computer science and computer graphics helps, but with dedication and you can just search your way through most problems.

I'd also recommend to limit the scope as much as possible. We might have been a little too ambitious. Don't design features that you cant make. For example, in one iteration we had a vision of global economy where you can buy/sell materials, competing with AI players. On paper, that's great. When we started coding, we had no idea how to make this all work, and after a few months of failed attempts we completely scratched it.
OP here - we've done a lot of talking and interviewing people about their thoughts on other communication tools, and these are definitely common threads. That said, I don't know that they're universal. Also I think a ton of people judge themselves significantly more harshly than they judge others when it comes to communicating online at work (although yes, judging others harshly is also certainly a thing).
> it doesn't really function like a cafe in the community sense.

Some do, and those are the ones I frequent. At mid-day and early afternoon it is often very busy with people that hang around for half an hour or more—not just to eat, but to socialize. The amount of first dates I've witnessed (universally older people, often divorced), mothers or fathers with babies or toddlers catching up with a friend, college-aged people having openly-public heated discussions about their sex lives, old biker dudes planning their next trip and going on the wildest tangents about mystery vacations picked by lottery, primary-aged boys arriving by bike to get an iced cappuccino and hang around talking, work colleagues planning a company outing and dissing their other colleagues, etc. is incredible. Dozens and dozens of interactions that I've observed. And I haven't even mentioned the staff yet: the ones nearby me are almost always jovial and are free to discuss things among themselves, plainly audible due to the open kitchen designs, and listening to them is oddly inviting. Also, most of them don't play music, or if they do it's pretty quiet and is not distracting.
I watch other people play StarCraft because I find that I get too frustrated and angry when I play. It’s also too time consuming.

You're confusing free with free
I’m thinking with a little tomfoolery you could get the python version to mimic the parentheses paradox without having to overload the array access operator. I’d have to think about how much the call order would matter and how much hackery it would take if it did. I think it could be made to work by abusing the attribute lookup function, I did something similar in a project but it didn’t pass information from the general to specific (if that’s even required for this).

The real question is if you’d want to as it wouldn’t be very pythonic.
I wonder... Is there a way to overwhelm them with useless junk data?

I'm just thinking out loud, but maybe send my own phone a bunch of fake GPS signals, say, within my own house? Or maybe, somehow 'trade signals' with someone else in a way that collecting the data is useless? Or store my phone in. Faraday cage when I'm not specifically using it? Im sure other people who know the specifics better than I do will flesh it out better that I have, but maybe this will get the ball rolling...
DevOps are supposed to be part of the software development team. NOT a separate department. That’s the difference between SysAdmins and DevOps. It’s in the name! Developers (on a team that run) Operations (of the teams products). DevOps.
That was meant as a general statement about many of this class of apps; sorry if that wasn't clear. So the TH app doesn't nag you, it just takes wildly inappropriate amounts of data that it has no legitimate business collecting. Awesome...they have that going for them.
The existence of paid features at all is exactly what makes it open core.

> That sense of control is a dangerous illusion, though. Cars move way too fast for people to be able to react when something unexpected happens. Drivers included.

That's a dangerous fatalistic (literally) assumption. One must train and practice car control. Which unfortunately isn't required in the US, but training is available for those who seek it.

A driver can most certainly safely control mostly any slide or emergency manouver. But it does take training and regular practice.

I regularly drive on Hwy 17 (a windy highway in the hills just south of silicon valley) and have witnessed countless times cars which start to slide and the driver panics and doesn't know what to do so they end up crashing. But watching the slide, all of them would've been easy to control by a driver exposed to a decent amount of car control training. It's unfortunate we allow people to drive without requiring car control school and frequent referesher training.
