The facts aren't really in dispute. The NY Post got kicked off of twitter for running stories that were deemed misinformation and which subsequently proved to be true. This didn't happen to the NY Times because they dropped the story like a hot potato. There was no actual evidence that it was misinformation, that was just a presumption by various 'experts' not directly involved. The Post is in fact mostly a tabloid but even tabloids can print the truth and this incident was a particularly egregious example of mainstream media not doing their job. They deserve to be called out for it.
I noticed upon logging into GitHub today that there is now an option to share or not share your code with co-pilot.

Oh, your enemy is capitalism. But who is your friend? Well, ideally we could find a friend, could run experiments, big and small, and gather data about alternative ways to organize society. What works? What doesn't? And also, of course, we need to pay attention to the outcomes, both good and bad (something Americans in particular are very bad at).

Insofar as capitalism tends to squash such experiments, because it feels threatened, yes, that is evil. But the good news is that few people would do that for a couple of reasons, not the least of which is that they (we?) believe that capitalism is pretty damn good at organizing society, all things being equal, and it's hard to feel threatened by such an experiment. However, given the revolution in technology, particularly with smartphones, all kinds of possibilities open up which have not been explored. Such experiments tend to need champions, capitalists with a magnanimous (or curious) bent that can carve out a space to run, fund, and protect these experiments from predators. Such experiments would be like startups, but with a different success criteria (not just "eventual profitability") and a more comprehensive set of behaviors for the participants (not just "find product/market fit").

It may be time for another round of utopian experiments, but this time supercharged with knowledge of those failures, and adding ~50 years of new knowledge about psychology, society and science. What sorts of minds could arise in these unusual places? Optimistically, in the worst case you'd raise a generation of unique minds that, with any luck, would be highly sought after in the wider society, such that even in the event of failure the participants would be okay. And if they succeed, they can spread and grow, and gradually replace components of capitalist society. (Success is when the real danger starts, of course, because it goes from curiosity to threat.)

I just hope you don't give up on your dreams. If undermining capitalism is what you want, you have to play the cards you're dealt. Capitalism is ascendant, although it is showing tremendous weakness WRT wealth concentration. The world is the way it is, so pick a path that uses what you have. Good luck!

I'm one of the co-founders of Turquoise Health, mentioned in the article here. We've been downloading and parsing this data all day. It's a really big deal in the industry that the prices that insurance companies pay doctors are now being shared publicly. It will have all sorts of positive impacts over time, hopefully making rate negotiations more consistent and fair between different insurance plans. Right now, 10x differences in prices paid for the same healthcare service from the same doctor between insurance plans is not uncommon.

The baffling thing to me is how anyone thought rapid privatization was a good idea. Going from an economic system where the only way to become personally wealthy is via crime and corruption to auctioning off a country's core infrastructure can only lead to criminals ending up absurdly rich.

Copying from an earlier comment of mine, "American cheese" or "processed cheese" is often (but not always) a blend of materials none of which begins life as cheese:

> Typical formulation for Analogue Pizza Cheese, from Fundamentals of Cheese Science:

Ingredient Level added (g/100g Blend)
Casein and caseinates 23.00
Vegetable oil 25.00
startch 2.00
Emulsifying salts 2.00
Flavour 2.00
Flavour enhancer 2.00
Acid regulator 0.40
Color 0.04
Preservative 0.10
Water 38.50
Condensate^ 7.00

^ Upon cooking the blend to about 85°C using direct steam injection, condensate equivalent to about 7.0 g is absorbed by the blend.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27169697

The list above is for "analogue pizza cheese" but that's just the most common use of this kind of "cheese": as pizza topping.

So, in a way, "vegan cheese" is not the worst kind of thing in the market that's labelled as "cheese" while not even close to the real thing.

Btw, many people who are not vegan or vegetarian eat this stuff and think it's cheese. I mean because it's on pizza. And it kiind of melts, right? What else do you expect to find sort of melting on top of pizza? Cheese!

So, yeah, 100%, you can totally and absolutely fool consumers by emulating the look, taste and feel of a real foodstuff. But usually that's because those consumers are so used to eating fake stuff anyway that they have forgotten what the real thing tastes like... if they ever even tasted it.

I think that building a high performance organisation starts way before you get to the point where you need an emergency leadership directive at the beginning of a downturn that from now on you’re going to turn up the heat and hold people accountable for performance. If you are pulling that lever to some extent I think you have to admit you took a wrong turn somewhere.
In what sense is calling on government buildings to be burned down and the occupants slaughtered "protected speech"?

The only way I could see it being protected is if it was clear hyperbole. Which...not in this day and age.
My old portable CD player had perfected this skipping thing. Didn't even need user input.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elonis_v._United_States is similar to this case. Basically there's 2 modes of thought, one is that a "reasonable person" (whatever that means) has to find it threatening, and the other mode is that a "reasonable person" has to find it threatening, AND the government has to show that the person intended it to be threatening.

The fact that it's just a letter and a finger wag implies that the government might know it's not a "true threat".
> However the attitude of the lead developers toward criticism or negative feedback...

I disagree about that, because there is a major difference between submitting a bug or disagreeing about a claim or feature versus outright trolling, smearing, instigating drama, or trying desperately to create negative public perception.

Issues and discussions can be brought to V's GitHub (https://github.com/vlang/v/issues, https://github.com/vlang/v/discussions), but instead what various competitors and detractors do is create drama filled smear blogs or bad joke posts (on various websites) against the author or language. That's not any attempt at being helpful or constructive, that's more about slander or to create such negative sentiment in the hope of killing off the language.

When issues and discussions are brought peacefully to V's GitHub, they are discussed and debated intelligently. If any such issues have any validity, then they are usually fixed.

> Everything negative that people say appear to be taken as an "attack"...

That's simply not true. What does happen, is various competitors and detractors do specifically attack and smear the language or author, and who have no intention to want to be helpful or make any improvements. To include engaging in downvoting or trolling those who appear to be V supporters.

Such attacks and smears are not about fixing anything, their point is to be destructive, create negative publicity, and dissuade others from using a rival language.

If there are those that don't think that is the case, then simply ask yourself why many of those engaging in such attacks and smearing who claim to be technically knowledgeable or interested in using the language are not making their case on V's GitHub? That's where a person can go to improve V and get it production ready. Continually engaging in smearing is not about fixing, improving, nor reaching out to V's developers or community.

Rights being “fair game” isn’t exactly something I’m excited about.
Arthur Benjamin's book Secrets of Mental Math has similar tricks to this one.

One I like is multiplying 10x+y by 10x+z where y+z = 10, then the answer is 100x(x+1) + yz (such that the two multiplications can be concatenated). So 53*57 = [5*(5+1)][3*7] = 3021.

The article mentions its trick

> saves the student from having to learn the scary outer reaches of the multiplication table — they only have to know how to multiply digits up to 5.

Similarly, another cool trick I like allows quick calculation of all squares up to 125^2 (you could go higher too if you extend it, but through 125^2 is simpler), and you only need to memorize the squares up to 25^2. The trick is to expand (x)*(x) into (x+y)(x-y) + y^2, picking y such that one of the sum/difference factors becomes 50 or 100. Then, you can easily halve the other factor (which will also be even) and shift it two places (if 50), or simply shift it two places (if 100), and then add the square of the small y which has been memorized.

For example, 78^2 = (78-22)(78+22) + 22^2 = 56*100 + 484 = 5600 + 484 = 6084.

Or 74^2 = (74+24)(74-24) + 24^2 = 98*50 + 576 = 4900 + 576 = 5476.

Or 123^2 = (123+23)(123-23) + 23^2 = 146*100 + 529 = 14600 + 529 = 15129.

Since the distance to the nearest multiple of 50 is at most 25, you only need to remember your squares through 25^2 = 625, and the rest of the work is division by two, place shifting, and addition.

I'm going to say it is goofy.

There was another platform i will leave nameless. They performed additional "ahead of time" type optimization after a developer submitted a binary. That layer had bugs. I personally saw them surface. Since the AOT happened transparently on the platform vendor's machine it was very hard for a developer to test, diagnose, confirm fixed, etc. The developer still got blamed for bugs hitting the end user. That layer one can also imagine could see changes on the platform vendor's server so something could theoretically break later on and nobody would know until the bug reports came flooding to the developer.

Because it was a goofy idea. Sounds good superficially, but ill conceived at the design stage.

Moreover, that goofiness may also be why they don't need it anymore. It wasn't a solid idea to begin with, so your changing requirements wind up revealing that.
The legitimate government of China that's lasted for thousands of years is currently effectively exiled to Taiwan. The CCP is a new usurper/colonizer/occupier.
They literally cite that as the benefit it provides over landfill. All of the studies, that this is a meta review of, do that. It's just a fact that it releases CO2.

> Similar discretion is needed while comparing the results obtained for the WTE [waste to energy] option
by the four studies. It is known that the incineration process emits greenhouse gases,
but it also generates thermal energy and electricity which can be used as an alternative
to fossil fuel consumption. However, the results indicate that overall, the WTE option
contributes adversely towards the global warming problem, with all high positive impact
values between 50% and 100%. However, all four studies indicated a negative impact value
for AP, indicating that the incineration process is advantageous in reducing the impact of
acidification, making it the second most environmentally friendly method of disposal, and
suitable for disposal of the residues discarded by the MRF process.

The key point being, if you can get your heat or electricity from a non-fossil source, then it's preferable to do so. Because releasing CO2 into the atmosphere is bad for climate change.

But luckily for WTE, the are other aspects that make landfill even worse. Still not as good as recycling, just like all those environmentalists have been saying, correctly, for years. How boringly non-contrarian of them.
The UDRP ("Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy" - the arbitration process all domain name disputes go through - you have little choice as mandated by ICANN for all domain name registrars) has been hopelessly broken in favor of the pursuer for a long time. It's a pursuer pays system; surprise surprise pursuers almost always win. UDRP panels are run by private firms of typically retired judges looking to cash in for easy work, selected by WIPO ("World Intellectual Property Organisation") . WIPO love the UDRP, because for the first time its given them real teeth to enforce something directly. Similarly, if you don't respond to a UDRP notification the case is almost always decided against you and you lose control of the domain, regardless of the merits of the case.

If you want to look up some really terrible UDRP decisions regarding things that can't typically be trademarked under almost all legal systems (place and family names etc), the barcelona.com case is pretty famous. Same too with mcdonalds.com. Nissan.com is just another example sadly.

There have even been UDRP cases where the panel has claimed using WHOIS anonymization was an "act of bad faith" and handed the domain to the pursuer. It's a wild system.

Terrified to consider what happens when these scammers get hold of large language models here in a year or so. Rather than fading into the background as this article posits, I expect people to have models finetuned on convincing them to make purchases/send money. Probably trained by being pitted against other models which have been trained on the mark's social media feeds. Train the scambot to perfectly push your buttons by having it practice against your own style of thought as embodied by your social corpus.
This is just a factory owner telling the workers the expected output increased by 20%. Nothing more. This thinking belongs in 1872.

I wonder if this would still work with cameras like the S22 Ultra which has iirc, ~108MP sensors and uses pixel binning to improve the pic and outputs ~12MP photos. Seems the binning algorithm would obscure many of the 'sins' of the individual pixels and blend the output to something more like what is generically expected from a photo. Or, could the algorithm actually wind up amplifying some of the flaws, perhaps once they got past a certain size?

I get around 50 unsolicited emails a day, many asking for help with my OSS projects, but rarely is there something as cookie-cutter as this that's not outright spam.

Please read my other comment to another person, I should not repeat it. I hope that helps.

The things you described does not really happen here, or not that I know. They are trying to waste less time with minor crimes. It takes a lot of time and money for them and they are not eager to ruin people's lives either. They know they will not get rehabilitated in prison.

You can interact with police here just like with any other person, just do not keep them up if they are doing something. I had some discussions with a lot of them. My teacher used to be a chief of police. He is a very humble and nice person. I love him.

I am not trying to say everything is nice and dandy here, a lot of things suck in this area, but I definitely do not have to fear for my life for being shot for being at the wrong place at the wrong time, like one of my friends was. They did not shoot him, they talked to him, and let him go after a while, and he is a gypsy. They are known to be treated poorly. He could have easily have gone to prison if anyone wanted that to happen. He was running away from a place where someone committed a crime. As I said, it is not in their economic interest I would say. I may be wrong, but it does not seem to be trendy to just unnecessarily kill or imprison people.
If we did what you suggest, the only right thing to do would be to not believe any information source, including our own eyes and ears.

> I'd take 10x the amount of spam in my mailbox if I could get rid of all of the rest of the garbage I'm bombarded with

I for one would not. Digital spam is easy to deal with. There are automated filters, easy ways to block them, and the few that slip through are simple to deal with. Mailbox spam is physically painful to deal with and it's a massive waste of paper.
to be fair I can't google for shit anymore either. Try to find an actual review or more information about an item and the first 90 results are SEO spam and places selling said item.
>This sounds like one of those few weird things in the US where the processed version's somehow cheaper.

If you buy it in a supermarket, minced/chopped garlic is more expensive. Mostly (I surmise) because they charge a lot for the tiny jars and don't sell the big ones.

I buy my garlic online from folks who generally sell to restaurants/food service companies. As such, I pay much, much less than from the supermarket.

If I couldn't get the big jars at a good price, I'd use the fresh stuff more often.
