This is debatable, especically for anyone who followed Murray's reporting. Here are a few random links that I had bookmarked that give a different opinion. I could possibly find more but I really do not want to spend the rest of the day on this.

I also think that you misunderstood what the parent said, I took it to mean that the court could deny it because they could hypothetically decide that it wasn’t a crime according to UK law
That feels like a semantic distraction to me. Is it too much supply, or not enough demand? I think they both mean the same thing.
He does BJJ and has comedian friends, so he went on the Joe Rogan Podcast and established a fanbase. In podcasting, the discovery system is quite low signal to noise; because there are so many podcasts and the content itself is hard to inspect (episodes are multiple hours long and it's expensive to do transcription over the millions of episodes posted every day). So because podcast organization is hard, the strongest signal for those looking for a new podcast is popularity. Joe Rogan has the most popular podcast in the world, so he has the capability of spawning popularity boosts to other podcasts. If that podcast is somewhat competent, then that popularity can be captured for the long term, which is what Lex did.

Also, Lex's podcast has great academic and computer science guests that you don't usually get to have long-form conversations with. It's a high quality podcast with great production value for such a small operation.
They’ve been pretty transparent that the plan is for hundreds of starships. Not just one. Obviously they can’t do it with just one ship. A lot of the issues you’re referencing decrease dramatically with every additional ship. Hundreds of tons of cargo to unload? Not really an issue if you give them a lot of heavy equipment. Energy requirements would be pretty small. Oxygen and water for a few dozen people is a solved problem on subs. Radiation is sort of solved if you live on the ship after landing.

You’ll still probably die of course but the point stands that the logistics side of the equation seems fine with startships.
I mean i think he used his MIT connections sure but Lex strikes me as the kind of guy that isn't afraid to email some high profile guy asking what he wants, and his personality is so "positive vibes", "earth, humanity, learning", that guests aren't scared off that they are going to be put under the gun.
Being on Rogan probably helped him get more viewers but I don't think it has the same kind of effect on potential guests who are considering whether to come on Lex's podcast.
As an overweight-midwestern-american, RAMcheese sounds great!
A lot like Joe Rogan, he doesn't pretend to know more than he does. That can be very refreshing, and makes guests feel comfortable and empowered. His podcast's success comes from the letters MIT on his resume and the high profiles of the guests he's had on.
Thanks. I also evaluated Celsius (and others) but decided that I couldn't determine counterparty risk after reading their terms and conditions. In the end I stayed away because of that.

Not enough people realize this. I was reading Obama's memoir recently and he mentioned this exact concept during the financial crisis, where everyone wanted him to publicly skewer the big banks and talk trash on their CEOs. The problem is, those same big banks are (1) the ones he's trying to convince to re-invest back into the market and stimulate the economy and (2) probably the ones most knowledgable on how to rebuild and fix the financial sector. It's not corruption any more than the NFL hiring Peyton Manning as commissioner would be "corruption"
We no longer have the M26 rockets used in grid square removal. They've all been decommissioned in favor of M30/M31 GMLRS guided rockets, which don't have submunitions. Oddly, "grid square removal system" is actually a backronym, as the original designation of the M270 was General Support Rocket System (GSRS)
This 1000%. Legitimate services have an incentive to self-identify because they don't want to anger parents and are generally not out to corrupt kids. A setting to block unrated sites could be provided as well.

Movies and video games self report their rating not sure why web content needs to be any different.

The problem with the top down approach of the government deciding which topics are taboo is that it removes agency from parents. Different parents, different kids, and different ages all lead to different values and levels of acceptibility.

My tin foil hat catches my eye every time I see government trying a heavy-handed, slippery-slope approach to clamping down on a problem instead of just providing society with a common set of tools to accomplish a relatively simple goal.
If you want to get to the truth of a matter, you need to hold conflicting thoughts in your head at the same time. Most cops are doing a good job, and most people they interact with are criminals. The system allows all of their priors to run amok, unjustly harming everyone they interact with. The system/union protects the bad apples that go even further, who spoil the bunch and gives the profession a bad image. By holding one side blameless, you are contributing to the ongoing destruction of the institution. If you're truly interested in law and order, you should focus on the current lack of law and order for the people tasked with upholding it.

As for the actual recent "crime waves", that is being debated to death elsewhere. Like everything, it's some of column A and some of column B and the partisan narratives distract rather than enlighten.
This is pretty awesome. I was looking for something like this in the last month! Thanks for sharing.

A Beginner's Guide to Cloud Security Architecture
FWICS, wheel has no cryptographic signatures at present:

The minimal cryptographic signature support in the `wheel` reference implementation was removed by dholth;

The GPG ASC signature upload support present in legacy PyPI and then the warehouse was removed by dstufft;

"e2e" TUF is not yet implemented for PyPI, which signs everything uploaded with a key necessarily held in RAM; but there's no "e2e" because packages aren't signed before being uploaded to PyPI. Does twine download and check PyPI's TUF signature for whatever was uploaded?

I honestly haven't looked at conda's fairly new package signing support yet.

FWIR, in comparison to legacy python eggs with setup.py files, wheels aren't supposed to execute code as the user installing the package.

Personally, i like his dry style. I only watch the episodes with guests i am interested in. So far i found the conversations very interesting. Also he makes it easy to skip the ads at the beginning of the podcast which is nice.

I like that he frequently talks about love and its importance for humans. He is also helpful by often asking successful people for early career advice. His passion for AI is often at the forefront.

He could be a bit more critical in his interviews but then again that might get him fewer famous guests.
Isn’t that just a recloser on a barge
So the Online Harms Bill (the switch part of TFA) is about having a completely controlled Internet in which innovation is completely stalled and entirely government mandated. It seems kind of mad that this could be phased in soon...

I presume I will have to log into hacker news via a VPN because obviously this place isn't going to implement anything other than geo blocking for UK IPs (like 99% of websites will); it certainly isn't going to be paying 10p+ for every user here to prove they are over 16/18?

Do we know under what terms young people will be allowed to interact with the Internet?
I agree. Sure it’s fun, but some people will either be turned off by it as it brings up negative connotations, and it can impact word of mouth effects if people don’t want to recommend something that the other party might think sounds juvenile.

Saving the planet is outside of your control. Caring for it is not.
>I find it much better and more interesting to speak truthfully (while not being an asshole!)

But that’s just it, the truth will always be offensive to someone. You’ll always be the asshole to “someone”. If we structure discourse around never being perceived as an asshole by anyone we effectively yield the zeitgeist to whoever is the biggest crybaby.

It’s not just this site, this line of thinking has infected most western dialog.

> Lex knows how to dig deeper into a conversation and bring more substance out.

I've seen the opposite - he seems to care a lot more about saying his own things instead of listening to the guests, and a lot of the time he just follows his list of questions instead of talking to them.
Semantic arguments are childish
I think his break came in when he interviewed Elon Musk. I believe years ago there was a shared AI related project between his team at MIT and Tesla. He would tweet about his work and Elon would reply often. This got him on the radar. His Twitter followers exploded. Once he interviewed Elon his YT channel exploded too and everyone else wanted to be interviewed by him.
Also, targeting prominent people no one has heard of is a good strategy, everyone knows elon musk, jeff bezos etc... but what about that prominent AI researcher that no one has heard of? I'm sure they aren't getting too many interview requests, so its a great way to get those kinds of peoples ideas heard and you get the have a prominent guest even if the guest isn't well known in mainstream culture.
I've wondered this as well - specifically regarding Fridman but also other people who have become popular through social media. (As to the latter, it never ceases to shock me how various YouTube channels can amass hundreds of thousands of subscribers.)

Anyway, as someone mentioned above, he was on Rogan's podcast and fits the Rogan mold of influencer: interested in AI and machine learning, politically neutral, trains in Brazilian jiu jitsu, etc. In fact, I'd describe his style as being a more intellectual Rogan, haha (which is not necessarily a compliment). His popularity has skyrocketed after being on Rogan. However, I'm not sure about his popularity prior to Rogan.

Its wa quite sad actually. I like the blockchain technology and its properties. I like things like hyperledgrler and the like.

But at the same time it's disgusting the current state of the crypto wars. All that is happening is due to greed. People are greedy, crypto "companies " are greedy and everyone wants to become rich without effort. There are VERY few projects that really want to develop technology. And those are also hijacked by greedy people to play as casinos.

I really wish the crypto space would crash and burn, BTC to hobdown to $100 and similar, so that all that noise goes out, and people go back to scam penny stocks or Amway, and leave the development of blockchain technology alone.

I remember when Wikileaks started accepting bitcoin. Satoshi very well mentioned that it was not ready. I am sure he was surprised by the craziness that came of it. Becoming exactly the thing that it was supposed to fight against.
It depends on the interview but most of his discussions are genuinely unique. Who else is doing relatively in-depth, multi-hour conversations with people at the top of their fields? Rogan is the only one that comes to mind, but he doesn’t have the depth of knowledge that Lex has.

Sometimes Lex infuriates me, but again, there is nobody else doing what he does and in general, he does a good job of asking interesting questions even when it’s far outside of his area of expertise.
Pass is quite nice but calling it 'standard unix password manager' isn't very appropriate given that it depends on bash.
Going on Rogan is clearly a big opportunity, but to reduce his YouTube/podcast success to simply going on Rogan and having "friends in high places" is nonsense. There are _plenty_ of people that Rogan has had on his show multiple times who have not been able to turn that into long-term success. If the content you put out doesn't stand on its own, no amount of going on Rogan is going to fix that. Go look at Lex's YouTube videos — you don't get a committed listener base and at least hundreds of thousands of views on every video again and again just because you've been on Rogan.

> His content is often cringe inducing to the point that I can’t continue listening.

I think you kind of revealed your hand here and made it clear why you (dishonestly IMO) tried to minimize Lex's accomplishments.
Ireland seems the natural choice, and wouldn't require you to use a language other than English for anything.
That's claimed for two reasons - bootstrapping is the first milestone of a working and useful rust compiler. In this case; if it couldn't be used for anything else, at least it could do that.

It's also claimed that "it will only be that" to seem more non-threatening to the main Rustc project. If it was “easy” to do, mrustc would of course support all of the Rust language. Maybe it will get there if there is enough work and interest.

There was this vague concern about splitting the ecosystem. The concern is understandable - to an ecosystem that has been "in control" by a central implementation for a decade. I would file it under growing pains. Rust can't, when it grows up, always be a single-implementation language.
This is a significant accessibility and inclusive design issue - carrying multiple untippable objects is a little tricky for the median person, but is near-impossible for someone who is using a guide dog or cane, someone who is carrying a child in one arm or someone with a shoulder spica cast.

The people who suffer from these policies will rarely speak up or request a tray because having to continually ask and wait for these accommodations is painful, as is the fact it makes you stand out more.
It seems inflating housing prices are tied to some of the worst societal outcomes in the modern era, too. i.e. The Great Depression and Great Recession were both real estate devaluation driven. I also wonder about investor owned homes not being as beneficial to localities as householders. Out of area investors don't shop at local stores, pay local taxes to support local governments/projects, etc. That stuff matters. Look at how fast Detroit deteriorated without people living in the neighborhoods to keep things up.

I've been thinking a lot about GUI and CLI.

When you build your Blog or Docs.

What do you prefer to use as CMS? do you prefer something like Wordpress or Ghost or something like Sanity?

I enjoy to write in a file and then publish to a cloud provider to serve my content, and use a solution like NextJS or NuxtJS as frontend.

I had the exact same thought after listening to a recent podcast. He's not insightful, his questions are uninteresting, and his conclusions are banal. He seems like a slightly smarter, but less charismatic version of Joe Rogan. As others have said, I guess it's just the guest list. Unlike say, Sam Harris, I'm sure as hell not listening to hear Lex's perspective.
Yeah I think it's a bit of a stretch to try to combine all these ideas under a single name.

One guideline I would follow is:

Statically type everything that a service needs to inspect to do its job, and no more, but without introducing a layering violation.

So, for example if a component accepts this input:

{
"timestamp": "2022-06-17 00:00:00",
"data": {
...
}
}

If it only uses "timestamp" to decide whether to discard the input, and then passes "data" to some other service, you would definitely want to make timestamp be a "datetime" type rather than a string. "data" should be an arbitrary JSON value, but it should still be parsed as JSON, just no additional structure enforced.
DAI is doing just fine and will continue to do so.
I heard good things about Ireland.
Yes you just clone the folder and that's it... I've moved machines several times and this "just works". I think you're making a big mistake leaving pass :). pass is just a UX for PGP. PGP enables a lot more. Learn one and it enables a lot of other things...! As you've been able to see.
That is strange. Did you try any of these?

I am not sure about major release upgrades. But if you are on an LTS release, this should cover it for five years. And as much as I dislike snaps, they do auto updates too, so in 22.04 Firefox at least keeps up-to-date too.
I read this take somewhere that we are basically a vessel for our microbiome / gut Flora. Our moods, what food we crave, how social we are might all be impacted by them, in which case they do have some sort of control over not just how we feel, but how we behave. For instance if you eat a lot of sugar, you will crave more sugar, and the argument would be that it's the bacteria that have developed in your gut that are causing you to crave that sugar because that is what they consume (vs the more human-focused evolutionary argument of "sugar was rare and so humans have evolved to crave as much of it as they can get").

Reality is probably a mix of both (ie we are a complex system with wants/needs influenced by both our own body and the Flora that live within it).
I'm not really a fan of his work, but as with most other posts in this thread I think a lot of his success is driven by the guests.

I do think that many posts in this thread are overestimating how hard it can be to get guests on podcasts. Some connections may have helped during his early episodes, but many of the guests on his shows (just scrolling through the episode list) were probably quite easy to book given the audience that they would be speaking to. I see a lot of people who would be actively trying to talk about their subject. Groups like academics and tech researchers are heavily represented in early episodes. Then later you start getting people who might be a "challenge" to book, but only after there are years of a backlog of interviews.

He then also has several interviews with people with their own large podcast/youtube followings which are always a large boost. Just scrolling through his video history I see people like Joe Rogan, Dan Carlin, and Jocko Willink as an example.

His interviews also hit many different interests, not too narrow of a focus, which makes it easy to build an audience based on somebody looking for any number of topics for a podcast/youtube video. That certainly helps build listener numbers over the 4 years that the podcast has been ongoing.
That can't be true, the Wayland people are currently working on a Weston reference implementation before changing the protocol to support HDR.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/-/issues/467

The DRM KMS API can be used to pass HDR metadata to the monitor, so it's not impossible to write a software to take advantage of that, but I don't know any that does.

Did you just call the US underdeveloped? :P

But seriously, the US does not have a standardized "ID card" either. They have things like passports (which not that many people have), state-issued driver's licenses (so 50+ different ones, not sure how it's handled in all the non-state areas like Guam or Puerto Rico), social security numbers (which aren't exactly ID either), birth certificates, voter id cards (for people without a driver's license), and a slew of other things the government and businesses will accept under certain circumstances. What they do not have is a nation id card.
How to use $.flow.rerun for bulk operations
> Banks are forced to abide by regulations and laws dictating how fractional-reserve organizations are allowed to operate. In return, peoples' deposits are backed by the government up to $250k (in the US).

Depositors also have first claim against assets in insolvency, so even uninsured accounts will be paid back before bondholders or equity owners. Even a well-intentioned crypto security has no such strict prioritization.
I do understand the government's argument, but:

1. I don't believe children will really be "saved" from viewing/reading harmful content - if they really want to see something, they will simply find a way around it, but also remember this is a *UK-only* thing!
2. I don't believe for a second that the security apparatus won't have unchecked access to the data
