I remember when CDs were very very new the first review of them in an audiophile magazine a friend subscribed to. The reviewer was quite unhappy.

The next month he reviewed a different player. He basically retracted his opinion of CDs but said the player from the previous month was obviously terrible, at least the particular one that he did his review on, if not the entire brand.

And for audiophiles themselves, I notice many of them seem to have very poor taste in music. Like do you really need $50,000 of equipment and sand weighted speakers that weigh 700 pounds each to play 1968 bachelor pad music?
You're comparing a threat that sounds cool and scary and is practically non-existent to a mundane abuse of privacy that happens every day.
You're not caught up with things. Twitter is suing to force the deal to go through at the original price, not to get the $1B.
> The main problem is that Lex is a terrible host.

Agreed. Three hundred episodes later, and he still hasn't learned how to interview people in a way that doesn't make the show a slog.
You appear to be throwing shade on his contributions. Do I misunderstand you?

A stalemate, if you already want to diminish his efforts, isn’t a loss by definition - the classic example is in chess. He brought the government to heel even after EFF bailed. You’re also minimizing his contributions to the first case.

His web page clearly credits the right people at the EFF, and he holds back on criticism for their lack of continuing on the case.

I won’t presume to speak for Dan.
This assumes that everyone who has lots of money and advantages chooses to try to run companies. That's not the case at all. I grew up around ultra-wealthy people and many of them wanted to focus on the arts.

So you have a small sample size - extremely wealthy people. Then you cut that down massively again - those people who also want to run businesses. Then a bunch of other things to narrow the pool lol. But then, finally, you cut it down to "and then the ones who succeed".

I don't think, at that point, the numbers are going to be behind you.

> I like having to take a moment to consider the sub-narrative of the side as a whole before moving on.

That's a great way of putting it! And something I hadn't considered before I bought a record player and started listening to it. There's that point in time where you realize the A-side is done, you get up to go and flip it, and you have a half-minute or so of reflection on the first half. Then the B-side starts and it's like the second act of a play is starting after intermission.

Their methodology is very detailed. Maybe Twitter can post theirs to give more confidence in their 5%.

They used multiple datasets and posted the calculated mDAU for each.

Maybe this is too much tinfoil hattery, but are we sure DJB isn't a government asset? He'd be the perfect deep-cover agent.
Off-topic: I don't think those email tricks are spared by crawlers using language models.
The JOLTS numbers you are using would indicate a neutral market at 6 unemployed per open job, not at 1 (5% unemployment is considered fully employed). I use these numbers regularly in estimating advertising costs and market demand in my business day to day (I own are recruiting tech company). The reason for optimism is simple: workers are aging out of the market, and young people are starting to work on average 4.9 years later in life - so the worker side is scarce and so scarce that the employer side can shrink with effectively little effect on employment, other than fluctuations in wages.

Today's report from DOL is unsurprising (unemployment went down in July).
Just now I went to RT.com and searched various article titles verbatim on DDG, they came up near the bottom half of results. I repeated this test with WSJ and found the link as the #1 result. From this it wouldn't be unreasonable to believe that either you or the sources you pull from are engaging in arbitrary website throttling/downranking.

I hear you when you say you don't remove content, but do you, or to what extent do you throttle/downrank websites?
This whole thing reminds me of the time some renowned wine connoisseurs blind taste tested vintage wines and they slipped 2 buck chuck in there. A few of them picked the 2 buck chuck as their favorite. None of them called it out as inferior wine. They all said stuff like "hints of smoke. Berry finish."
Was it? TBH I'm a little confused by the downvotes - going by the 100 sample size number @ a 95% confidence level this is a 10 point margin of error. This seems like basic statistics but maybe I'm missing something. I think it's fair to assume that they had people who were taught basic statistics doing these calculations. If these people then say they think the number of bots is 5% without mentioning the margin of error due to their methodology that seems deceptive. I'm not a lawyer but if I was on a jury I could see being persuaded by that.
hahahha, "It's a memory dump of the entire app state" explains SO MUCH.

This seems incorrect.
Damn, you have two cores! I'm stuck with just one on my merely a decade (and a half?) old netbook. A bit ashamed to admit, but I didn't know better at the time I bought it, and boy does this purchase feel like a scam now :)

I've casually tried out probably all the popular performance-oriented Linux distros. Some of them aren't really what they claim to be (Zorin OS Lite, for instance), while some perform fairly well (Debian + LXQT). Windows is surprisingly good in the GUI performance department, too! But all is well only until you open a browser or start updating the system. Then it doesn't matter which OS you are running since it won't really be 'running' anymore. One core simply isn't enough for the modern systems to run well, apparently.

Kinda makes me sad that I have to fiddle with the distros and be looking for alternatives for essential software like web-browser as I recall Windows XP running simply great on the thing. I'd really like to know what that is we get these days on the modern systems that hogs the CPU like it does.

PS: for those in the same boat, Midori [0] performs considerably better than mainstream browsers while having fairly tidy looks and a few useful features like an ad blocking mechanism and ability to disable scripts and images.

He has been in a pride parade in the past and has mentioned it in interviews/tweets.
I wouldn't call him an activist at any stretch, but he doesn't hide his support.
My son told me that some hip-hop recordings incorporate digitally generated tics and scratches to simulate vinyl.
That’s disappointing, I was hoping it would be 50% or even better. Initially it’s going to be just the oil changes that you save on, but over say 10 years I’d expect not having to change cam belts etc would bring the advantage further to EVs. On the other hand, after 10 years the higher cost of EV tires will probably bring the cost balance back (although not usually considered a service cost)

I looked through the rest of the magazine. From the preview of the Motorola 68000:

> Coupled with the new low cost, high density memory devices with 64 K bit capacity and with even greater density coming, the personal computer will attain or exceed the power of an IBM 360 Model 30 within the next decade.

Wow. We've come a long way...
I've heard rumors that this was going on for a long time before it's been publicly acknowledged to have -- before OCR should have been able to handle that sort of variety of handwriting (reliably), let alone at scale. Like a snail-mail version of the NSA metadata collection program.
No, it's US-only, that's odd. Like chatbots are export-controlled technology now.
> Except you can just buy up supporters by gaslighting huge masses of people on Twitter. The house in question.

What's the path from the masses on twitter and courts which will hear the case? Public opinion doesn't matter here. The case over the contract doesn't even have a jury if I understand correctly.
You ran towards an unregulated market - literally because it was unregulated, these promises couldn't be made by a regulated entity, and now you're unhappy because you feel screwed. That's literally why the regulations exist, but you have to accept that you aren't just going to get "free money" offers in real markets. You're going to get them in unregulated markets, and they're going to be lies.
In 2006 a "Controversies" section was removed from their Wikipedia page[1] after
"a letter of complaint". You can still read it of course[2], part of which is:

"Additionally, some both inside and outside the audiophile community have criticized MFSL's [aka MoFi] willingness to stretch its "Original Master Recording" logo. For example, critics note that several MFSL Mk I releases are not from the original masters; one notorious example is the Beatles "Magical Mystery Tour". More troublesome to some, though, is MFSL's recent habit of releasing gold CDs that are sourced from digital master tapes instead of the original analog masters."

So it seems these allegations go back quite some time.

For what it's worth, I don't really buy in to the whole "audiophile" stuff and am skeptical you can hear the difference, but delivering "B" while it says "A" on the label is essentially defrauding your customers, and possibly illegal (or at least, it ought to be).

It is allowed, and some companies have based their business around it.

For that matter, I've received written correspondence from people while doing genealogical research with the return address listed as "Mobile, Alabama, Occupied CSA". There are definitely cultural norms that come into play here, but in that particular case - it was from an officer of a chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and contained photocopies of Confederate military records - I was amused by it. I kept the envelope and included it in my own archives.
I was going to say leftists of more federally liberals but settled on post modernism since it’s taken up by those groups.

Post modernists say there is no truth and that everything comes down to power structures and control. That everything is made up anyways so feel free to throw away all grand narratives and indulge in whatever decadence you want. Because truth doesn’t exist and is a function of power structures.

I think modern liberals are against science and rationality just as much as conservatives. They’re just think they aren’t. Liberals tend to be smart and conservatives tend to be wise.

TWTR is only down 1.6% YTD.

* SNAP is down 80%

* PINS is down 40%

* FB is down 50%

A good chunk of TWTR's current valuation is now being propped up by Elon's buyout offer. Elon could be looking at paying a 100-125% premium on what should be the fair market value for Twitter. Twitter's board should care deeply about getting as much value here as possible.
"Fsh".
That might be enough if the carpet starts relatively clean though - most of the deep down dirt gets pushed down through repeated use - stamping around a carpet with muddy boots will definitely ruin things quick but if you're conscientious about usage you're usually leaving surface level dirt that a mini-vacuum can scoop up if it's run frequently enough.

Roombas or similar things definitely can't keep a rug clean forever, but I think it's fair to say they'll make the times you need to get the heavy duty pet vac out less frequent.
It's not just progressives that loathe the book, it's everybody in the reality based community. The book is just political pandering.

You aren't reading, or possibly understanding, what I'm writing.

Granite seems fine to me, and even if it isn't, it is localized in ways plastic and PFAS aren't. Plastic is very different from almost the entirety of the planet earth. It doesn't occur naturally, and doesn't break down naturally; just like PFAS. You can obscure this fact all you like, but it's trivially true.

>Natural poisons exist nearly everywhere. Nature is not some wonderful synchrony of cooperative organisms. Everything is doing its best to kill something else through poison, acid, lye, violence etc. That apricot pit wants to kill you with cyanide so it's pit can thrive in your decaying body.

Natural poisons (wait, now you're fine with invoking "natural"?!) are broken down over time -- they're natural. That apricot pit doesn't "want" anything, unlike the humans that make plastics or PFAS, and its cyanide "pollution" is contained physically by virtue of its properties, unlike the plastics and PFAS made by humans. Plus, the pit is easily metabolized by the various systems of microbes and fungus and rot that keep things from the natural world participating in the great cycle, like cyanide and apricot pits and apricot flesh and absolutely everything related to or created by apricots ever. I repeat, "every example provided in the parent is, and has been, a part of the world for so long that they're not disruptive to other systems, or at least are physically contained".

The system is complex, yes, so let's not go polluting almost the entire environment with things that haven't existed long enough for the various naturally-occurring garbagemen to notice, let alone adapt to them. Are unnaturally occurring materials vital to modern human life? Yes! Do we absolutely need to blanket the ecosystem in them, to our cancerous detriment? No!
The tool doesn't matter. What works, is to actually do the stuff consistently.

One of the most productive people I know, took her lecture notes in the comment panel of PowerPoint in college, simply because _it's there_ when she open a lecture note. UI wise, it's probably worse than any note taking system that has ever showed up on HN. Nevertheless, she was a straight A student juggling 2 majors, 1 minor, and a lot of social life.

This is what I observed in hyper productive people: some of them have a unique, novel system of organizing their knowledge, but many of them don't. So, having such a system is probably not that important.

And even though I'm not a hyper productive person, this applies to what I'm good at doing as well. You can take away my favorite text editors/plugins/command line tools, and I can still competently write programs. I can code in notepad.exe if I have to. It won't be as convenient, but I can absolutely be productive.

It's the same for writing/reading/thinking. If you can already write, it's fine to try to perfect your workflow. If you can't write, it's not because you have the wrong pen.
> its actually far safer to keep an eyedropper pen mostly full so that there is less of bubble of air to heat up and cause this.

This tip as well for any fountain pen you’re air-traveling with. Pressurization changes affect the air volume, not the liquid volume, so make the pen pressure-change resistant by having it full of ink.
What you described is completely unrelated to LiDAR, and could just as lazily be implemented with a SLAM based vision stack. LiIDAR and vision based systems make 3d measurements of what the sensors see, whenever they look at it. What's done with those measurements in software isn't related to the ability to collect the real-time sensing of those distances.
I really can't see any other outcome besides Musk getting his ass handed to him by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

It's always important to look at incentives and motivations when trying to read the tea leaves, and if you look at Delaware's incentives, it's very clear. The whole reason everyone incorporates in Delaware is because they have centuries of handling business cases and have built out a clear set of rules and procedures. That is, businesses go to them more for stability and predictability than anything else.

Musk signed a contract. The BS reasons he is trying to use to back out of it are borderline laughable, and even he knows this, so if anything is just really trying to negotiate better terms. The Delaware Court has every incentive to hold up the established rules of contracts, especially business acquisition contracts, and I'd be pretty shocked if they ruled in favor of Musk on any of his claims.
I'm exaggerating; Adobe Flex's MXML was an XML schema for building application UIs declaratively. It supported custom elements, which would correspond to classes you'd write, whose constructors, fields and methods would mirror the attributes and events on the DOM, kind of like a stricter HTML5.

That's a good description of the Flash ecosystem from 2006 onwards, actually: before its time, and more stringent than what came after. That strictness was the legacy of ECMAScript 4, I suppose.
what is going on with the scrolling of those apidocs? are they iframed or something?
Right, this is my sentiment exactly. Give me open-source, modular devices created by people operating outside the incentive structures of a capitalist mode of production and I'll take a look.

As far as the devices of the current order, I keep that dirty bullshit as far away from my body (and home) as I reasonably can.

They’re not in question for many people carefully tracking this process. He filed his FOIA before the round three results were announced.

The lawsuit is because they refused to answer his reasonable and important FOIA in a timely manner. This is not unlike how they also delayed the round three announcement.

In totally the same boat!

My daily driver home machine is an i5-760 (Released in 2010!) with a GTX 1060, and it works GREAT. I play lots of RTS-like games in 4K via Steam (Stellaris, Civ, Timberborn, Factorio, Valheim, etc) and there's absolutely no problem whatsoever. The "pcmasterrace" mentality that makes you think nothing works without the latest & greatest CPUs & Graphics is just blatantly false.

I've always run Ubuntu on it as my daily driver, and I think that's part of my success. Windows machines of this age are seem to be more susceptible to long-term performance degradation.

As a comparison, I routinely use it side-by-side with much more recent machines (Intel 10th gens) provided by my workplace, and all the machines feel nearly identical in speed and performance to my 12-year old beater.

My only regret/hope is that my ancient motherboard doesn't seem to support more than 8G RAM, which is a bit annoying given how cheap memory is at this point.
I think if a culture finds out that doing a particular thing benefits it greatly, and that it cannot be punished for doing that thing... it will do that thing.

This idea of "cultural differences in the idea of stealing" is a bit silly. It's based on self-reports of the people who are stealing, and making massive amounts of money from the theft. Rationalizations, in other words.

In all honesty, if I could "steal" from a culture with a far superior level of technology without repercussion, in order to sell products mainly within my own culture, I'd do it too. It's still a benefit to the whole group, isn't it? The same story plays out every time this power dynamic comes up, and in far more varied patterns than people talk about (e.g. Japan "stealing" transistor designs to start its electronics giants, with the cooperation of a few Americans but still against moral values).
Looks great, a well rounded analysis of the situation.

But, it misses the critical historical heritage for the event and the actual international laws at the time of the end of WWII.

The situation is more like the China domestic war was not ending, and US intervened China's unification out of the strategic goal of contain communism. PRC of cuz had been the Vanguard of political insurgency across the east Asia.

One China policy is recognized by international law not because of US, one China policy is derived from a series of international treaties after ww2. Those are the laws actually has the most legitimacy.

And the other so called general men's agreement of PRC's representation of this one China. That's just an automatic derivation from that fact that PRC inherits the ROC seat in UN. You are reversing the cause and effect. But this is quite common for people living in US, as they tend to view everything as if they were always under US leadership, and claimed that a lot things that actually sanctioned under check and balance of geopolitical struggles into some kind of US concession out of necessary strategic goal that eventually US are going to revert.

Precisely that's one wrong lesson of geopolitical struggling. You can always claims a moral superiority and legal high ground from ones own perspective. That's the case for US, Taiwan, PRC, and even for Japan's refusal to admit it war crimes. But the underlying facts of power and strength, which has always been the driven force of geopolitical struggles, is always the foundation.
Nothing in the judgment seems to suggest that AI cannot produce valid art as in prior art. I would tend to think it can.
Imagine the gasps in the courtroom when his lawyer walks in and people notice it's actually a prototype of his Optimus android, that somehow managed to pass an online law degree.

Presumably it would then announce that it is an expert in "bot law" and the judge would have no choice but to let it argue Musk's case.
We've got cats - and we just invested in like four brooms for our small condo - if you see some fur accumulating you can sweep it up before it becomes a gigantic rug of cat fur.

I'll usually sweep our main hallway twice a day which is a nice two minute brain break from work. As someone with ADHD working these sorts of chores into a very frequent and regular schedule is important or nothing will ever happen.
Why is it flakey for automation testing though? In my experience that's basically targeting page elements and interacting with them. Doesn't this do the same thing?
