Learning Perpetual View Generation of Natural Scenes from Single Images
This author is describing stuff they are only affected by -- niche whining. "I don't know about you but I'm on vibrate all the time" etc. The pause/unpause vs sound muting has been forever on videos/reels. I'd say this is in line with general OS changes that leave all volume controls to the OS and people are just getting more used to going there to control that (i.e. in Android 13 etc). It's hardly a dark pattern, especially if you're not constantly performing tasks with different audio levels. Many will have already set their audio levels and are ready to go.

And then with the Reels 'flipping' mode of browsing. Also been a core facet of the Reels-specific UI area for a long time now. It may not be the most fun for you but it's not new and many who hang out in that area will be comfortable with it.

Yes, Instagram's copying of annoying things from TikTok and general decline on quality of content experience etc is a common gripe, but that's it, it's a common gripe and part of an ongoing evolution that ppl have been commenting on for ages. Not new. There's a lot of manual finessing that can be done to help the balance of ads and curation you get in your IG experience and it just takes work, all is not lost to the algorithm. People seem lazy and at odds with IG's business goals but that doesn't mean the whole thing has gone out the window.
The Dangers of Microsoft Pluton
> Can you show me a single successful enterprise that does not require any land?

Businesses often rent office space. Microsoft got its start from a rented building. As I mentioned before, Japan became a world economic power with very little land. South Korea is another example. South America has plenty of land, and is mired in poverty.

> Next are you going to tell us how the free market was so amazing before that rapscallion FDR came in and ruined the masterpiece of the free market that was the Great Depression?

WW1 showed that the free market had turned a nation of poor immigrants into a super power. The doughboys arrived taller than the Europeans, and far better equipped and fed.

The Great Depression was caused by the creation of the Fed in 1914. The Fed proceeded to the inflate the dollar, while keeping a fixed exchange rate with gold. The disparity led to what always happens with pegged currencies - collapse. The depression was deepened and lengthened by FDR not understanding what was going on.

> bootlickers

I suspect you've never heard the case for the free market before. It isn't taught in school or in college. Which is sad, because the schools graduate students into a market economy with little idea of how it works. For example, I saw some 12th grade history materials a few years ago that asserted that the middle class did not exist in the US before FDR. This is the nonsense taught in schools.

> amazing

Yes, it is amazing. The evidence is right in front of us. Feel free to refute the evidence I presented that free markets are the common thread in prosperity, not land nor slaves nor socialism.

If you want some more, look at the historical statistics of height in the US. It went up all through the 19th century, up to WW2 where it leveled out. That's pretty good objective evidence of growing prosperity. Remember that the US was peopled by immigrants who arrived with nothing.
> They appear in the Kerr metric

Only inside the inner horizon, which virtually all physicists working in the field consider to be unphysical because of the "infinite blueshift" effect at the inner horizon and the fact that it is a Cauchy horizon: you actually can't predict what will be inside it based on any data from outside it. (Note that the outer horizon, like the horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole, does not have these properties.) The prevailing opinion seems to be that the interior of a rotating black hole will end up being qualitatively similar to the interior of a non-rotating black hole, with the inner horizon and region inside it of the idealized Kerr solution being replaced by something that looks more like a Schwarzschild interior. (And of course if we figure out quantum gravity that might change things even further.)

> We certainly use the Kerr black hole solution to model things in the actual universe.

We use its exterior to model things in the actual universe, yes. But none of those models depend on the interior having the properties that the idealized Kerr solution has. They certainly don't depend on their being CTCs somewhere inside.

> the fact that CTCs appear in solutions to GR but seem physically implausible suggest that the basic physics of time are not fully understood

No, it suggests that, as with any physical theory, you have to look at actual data to see which of the infinite number of mathematically possible solutions to the theory's equations describe things that actually exist. All of the solutions that describe things that actually exist are globally hyperbolic and do not contain CTCs or any other weird "time" properties. That suggests that, as far as things that actually exist go, we have pretty good models of "the basic physics of time".
The cynic in me thinks that their real plan is just to add monetisation and or implement/sell features that already exist in modified clients and that "security" is a convenient excuse.

Sooner or later we have to price carbon externalities correctly, and fund development of offsets. It’ll be later of course, but it’s the rational course.

Restating your math slightly, how can 3.5 of these be funded by a carbon fee from ~365 flights a year over 20 years? Doesn’t seem like an impossible problem to think through and at least gives us a path to a renewable cycle.
The question remains: If pair-programming is so great, wouldn't triplet programming be even greater? Why not? Or why not "take it to the eleven"? Eleven programming. Why is 2 the answer? Why not 42?

I can see that pair-programming can help in some situations like getting new team-members up to speed. But I question those who say it should be applied universally, always, as a general rule.
No. Most languages with good gcs do not have pointer arithmetic, and many good gcs, especially real-time ones, have a read barrier.
If you want feedback about how some features should work, pick how they should work yourself, and make them work that way, then release.

Nothing will give people opinions faster about how it should work than playing with something that works somehow now.

I think I'd like working with you.

Overly generic code is often pre-emptive, and most times the day never comes that you need that flexibility. And often when you do, you discover you need flexibility along a different axis anyway.

And most of what we do is story telling: what were the requirements we understood? What is our model to solve it? What are some precise examples that show it working in different capacities? When people treat the code as simply "the thing the computer interprets", instead of "the thing the next person has to comprehend", you get this inevitable slide into incomprehensible code.

Unfortunately our profession is obsessed with outdated approaches to (premature) performance optimization, and an addiction to being "clever".

I think I'd much rather surround myself with driven folks that have empathy and a strong desire to be understood. That's a long way from the programmer stereotype I'm familiar with.
That is all fair, though I will say there is a reason I did not hop on the Ryzen bandwagon until Zen 2.
The Scheme-79 chip (https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/6334) was doing GC in microcode. According to Steel & Sussman it typically spent 80% of time collecting. :-) RMS invented "phantom stacks" to reduce the amount of garbage due to closures, not sure this was ever implemented anywhere.

It's the modern American form of capitalism. Privatize the gains and socialize the losses. In this case, the schools get guaranteed funds and the students will pay the bill until it is paid in full or they die.
It does mean that in a short period your heap will be a knotted spaghetti of objects with virtually pessimal locality as you chase pointers around the loop.
I am more curious to find out what is the basis of the article’s assertion that Paris Hilton’s “dumb blond heiress” was a brilliant high level strategy and not exactly what it appeared to be?

You mean the story by the guy that (successfully!) used this legal defense in court:

> The "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.'

and

> Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statement he makes."

So if even the guys lawyers tell you any reasonable person would take him with a grain of salt, I would assume that everything he says is indeed exaggerated and non-literal as they phrase it. Or phrased differently: he will say what he thinks his audience wants to hear. What he says might be completely made up, have some important bits omitted or contain a kernel of truth with a truckload of fantasy.

From a European perspective this guy seems so over the top that I thought it was meant to be parody when I first saw a clip from him.

Gas to liquid fuel is quite possible. But if it could be done economically, everything that generates excess methane would be converting it to liquid fuels. Many approaches have been tried.[1]

Ok, thank you!

So, this means there is hope for getting the data required for a full DNA restoration:

- bases near the telomeres, difficult to get (i.e. difficult to locate) with standard sequencing, can be sequenced (and located) with long-sequence sequencing (but this kind of GWS cheap service doesn't use long-sequencing right?)

- for bases around centromeres, do we assume that they are surrounded by a sea of nothingness, and that relying on a unique reference genome's centromere is enough? Isn't that risky, are we really sure that individual variations do not matter for centromeres?

My aim is to imagine a future where any defects, including centromeres, could be fixed, if necessary by regenerating whole chromosomes. Using data gathered now and safely stored.
Tbh can just use simple packages to get most stuff done. Not really sure why they’d realistically need any open source stuff besides some super limited really tested stuff. It would be really bizarre to me to understand that yes sir indeed an enormous base of the software hub
of the country is built on top of free stuff that is of questionable quality?!?! Yikes. Someone should fix that and vet those packages asap! Aren’t there automatic linters that check for this and even tell you to fix security vulnerabilities in stale packages? And third parties that are skilled in auditing open source libraries you may want to use? Working on automation for these two would be cool product ideas or jobs.
What about software that could query another endpoint without my knowledge?

Even early Google Chrome shat on OS DNS settings and was querying 8.8.8.8 but that could be filtered.
It’s also a lot of luck. A friend of a friend made some trashy weekend website in php years ago which calculates profits from options trades. He somehow makes 6 figures from advertising on the site.

Apparently he tried doing a big rewrite a couple years ago to fix the UX and whatnot, but his income dropped to 1/3rd of what it was after the change. Probably people spent less time on the site. So he put it back how it was.

The best we can hope for at this point is that there will be a backlash. Otherwise, I fear it’s a form of nihilism and sociopathy that will bring down everything.
Glancing at the links you provided, I see some unfounded rumors and some (three?) references to the creation of avatars that overload users, causing them to crash (including one of the features in the bottom links). It's common knowledge that this is possible, and VRChat should probably do a better job of analyzing avatars at time of upload.

EAC does not prevent this in any way, shape or form.

I see what you mean now about abusing the API - they seem to be invite bombing or similar. This is not what DDoS means. If possible, this is definitely a rate limiting issue to be solved on the backend. EAC does not prevent this.

The client in your last link appears harmless at a glance, though maybe if I dug enough into it I'd find something unsavory. Did you look at what it does?

I don't think you have provided any evidence of harmful modding that will be affected by this patch yet. It's easy enough, on the other hand, to locate the github repositories for the hundreds of harmless mods that tens of thousands of community members use regularly, and which you don't seem to know about if you think these videos suffice to describe what mods are "mostly" used for.
> Error values suffer from the pit of failure. If you forget to handle them correctly, you have a bug. See [1].

Then you put your value behind the error in the type...like rust or zig where you cannot ignore them.

You keep describing the upsides of Zig's error system as reasons why something else is better.

This is a good post but I wasn’t sure at first where it was going.

I have a … colleague (not actually in my organization) who is “shameless” as described. Not a Paris Hilton, but moves the Overton window in a (morally) good and useful way. He does say things I disagree with and indeed sometimes that I think are quite wrong. He’ll strike ip a conversation with anyone he thinks can help his cause. He pisses people off, and I have had uncomfortable conversations where people have said they don’t want to work with people who put up with him. But I won’t disavow him.

Actually this describes rms as well, and he’s a good example of someone who’s been willing to go to extremes to get things done, and has been quite influential. I would never disavow him either.

For both people (hmm, both males, both from the MIT “community”, and with other characteristics in common as well) I’ve admired them while simultaneously not wanting to be them. And remained friends.
How did you get to know people in CDMX?
Yes, to an extent it’s more of the same, just more immersive. If you’re an adult, the bad stuff is white noise for the most part.

If you’re a kid, it can be scary and potentially dangerous. The game is advertised with cartoon characters and a child-friendly aesthetic, far from what you actually find in public worlds. It’s easy for bad actors to hone in on kids based on voice, then corner them and do bad things. I’ve spoken to kids who were approached and “flashed” by much older users with explicit, ejaculating sexual avatars. It’s unpleasant and disorienting. Not to mention adults who zero in on kids, drop a portal to show them a “cool world” and then get them one-on-one in essentially an unsupervised VoIP call. This platform is practically designed to trap and abuse kids.

And yes, kids technically aren’t allowed to play VRChat or even go online using the Quest per Terms of Service. Enforcement is impossible, not that anyone tries, so kids are everywhere.
I don't mind the lack of physical buttons since the haptics seem to be okay on this trackpad[0], but another downside is the 2242-sized SSD on the Z13 model. It's a Gen 4 PCIe, but delivers Gen 3 speeds, as noted by some early reviewers[1]. Seems like 2242 SSDs lack local DRAM, which affects speed according to posts on the Lenovo Community forum. But the fact of the matter is that the XPS 13 Plus is achieving double the speed with regular 2280 SSDs.

Worth noting that the Z13 all black version and the version with integrated LTE are not available in the US.

That English dub has two serious flaws. First, they took out the two fun 70's J-POP songs, which really set the tone of the film, and replaced them with forgettable American songs written for the movie. Second, they inserted background music into parts of the film that aren't supposed to have music (e.g., when the mood is set by the sounds of the town, or suspense is heightened by only having the sound of the wind).

Edit: Also, Jiji (Kiki's cat) played by Phil Hartman has a completely different character from Jiji in the Japanese version.
> If something is lead by the main person/people, then it won’t be a natural sort of discussion right?

That form may be perfect for the subject - the genius of Twitter Spaces is its flexibility: it can be indistinguishable from a podcast (with 1 person speaking), or a town hall where anyone/everyone can get to speak, and anything in between. I've been in some amazingly great/funny/informative Spaces - and it hinged on the quality of moderation.

FWIW, "a podcast with a Q&A" is valuable: it can draw out amazing insights from listeners in realtime - unlike regular podcasts that get discussed on Twitter after the fact, and without canonical answers.
