It's a similar problem to "jamming" in military radar systems. You might be half-blind while jammed, but you're aware that you are being jammed in the same way that you won't miss someone shining a torch in your face.

Multiple cameras across a wide range of wavelengths (UV-Visible-IR) would be fantastically difficult to hide from, for a range of parameters such as UFO size, altitude, speed, etc... To the point where it starts to become physically impossible, irrespective of technology level.

For example, various militaries have looked into tracking high-altitude spy planes via the disturbance they make in the air. You can camouflage the plane all you want, but you can't stop air from existing.
I'm curious why you can't just go to like an old building or something and pull steel from that?

Exactly. The reason they’re called “influencers” at all is because their purpose is to influence you, whether with an idea and/or purchase decision. Any part that’s entertainment is just an add on.

The entire trend originated from Instagram where people would show products they “use” as part of sponsored posts.

This level of hollowness is part of the cause of the downfall of streamer Ninja. The originality and audience were neglected for profit.
Big fan of Zulip here. Admittedly, I haven't used Zulip in the context of a company. But I'm a happy user of

- leanprover.zulipchat.com (~4000 messages / week)
- coq.zulipchat.com (~1200 messages / week)
- categorytheory.zulipchat.com (~600 messages / week)

as well as the quieter

- isabelle.zulipchat.com
- hott.zulipchat.com

For research groups, it seems to work exceedingly well. The UI is unobtrusive, and values my screen real estate. (Slack only devotes < 50% of the screen to the actual conversation. On Zulip, the list of users and threads are delegated to the margins, so that the actual messages have the center stage.)

Besides that, I find that Zulip found the Goldilocks-equilibrium with its threading model. It works really well for both synchronous and asynchronous conversations, and you can easily switch back and forth between the two within one thread.

I'm a big fan.

All of those existed before Romans. From Sumeria to Indus Valley civilization to Egypt. If you dive into their history and watch related channels, you will find even more amazing things. What Romans did, however, was building them systematically and in a standardized fashion to bring them everywhere. That is an innovation.

However...

Aside from that and what advances Rome was able to do from their inception until the Late Republic period, Romans did not innovate as you would describe it. That's why the Roman history from Middle Republic until its fall is a story of slow decline and deterioration into feudalism.

It happens to be a standard ARM instruction, Apple pushes some bits into ACTLR_EL1 (Auxiliary Control Register, EL1, "Provides IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED configuration and control options for execution at EL1 and EL0") in the kernel on context switch. The DTKs used a proprietary register and touched it using msr, but again, no custom instructions.

Apple does in fact ship custom instructions on their silicon, but where those are used, how they work, and how ARM lets them get away with it is a story for another day :)
There were “market forces” in play, but they were hidden, so to speak.

Thing is the Soviets and people East of the Wall also had limited resources, like most everyone else when it comes to economics, and as such they had to come with a solution that would work at scale, while using the least amount of resources, while providing a decent amount of service, so to speak (fulfilling people’s desire to live under a roof with their family, for example). The more rational use of building materials, the more was left for using part of those materials for war-related stuff (one can use iron to both build a block of apartments made of reinforced concrete or to make tanks and artillery shells).

There’s this perspective in the West that us here in the East were guessing our way through the entire economic process, which, in many cases of course we were (like it also happens in capitalism), but the system couldn’t have resisted for as long as it did if it had all been left to make-believe or simple educated guesses.

If it matters I live in one of those commie blocks and I quite like it, including the whole ideological concept behind it.

I usually use the Xbox app that's probably preinstalled on your Windows computer anyway; it's built to integrate with the game bar and can cut videos quite easily.

For this reason, and the fact that Windows already ships a clip editor, I'm not sure what Microsoft is planning to do with this. Maybe they'll replace the built in editor at some point?

It looks a lot like what newspapers have been doing forever. And other forms of media. The most novel part of this story is the existence of the Joe Rogan Experience which is broadcasting unvarnished opinions of the relevant CEO to explain what is happening (big improvement!).

The 2nd most novel part is that this form of massaging the news happens by choosing what personal communication can pass unmolested through a local community.

Zulip didn't just "copy [Slack] exactly". The UX is much better than Slack, in my opinion. It's faster, and it puts the conversations center stage. With Slack I always felt that I had too click too much to get to a certain thread, and then it only used < 50% of my screen to show the conversation.

Zulip > Slack, even without this new change that Slack is dumping on users.

> I worry that capitalism is using us in a similar manner.

That's the entire point of capitalism. Reinstitution of feudal economy, or even worse, slave economies, through economic system. In post Civil War US and post-emancipation Brazil, the slave economy was reinstituted through 'free market' precisely using capitalist methodology. Former slave owners kept wages low, which forced now-freed slaves to work for even less economic return than before. Because now the slave-owners did not even have to feed their slaves and keep them healthy enough to work. They could just discard them when they couldn't work.

> but just like the Romans, people think the system is working because they can buy a smart phone and a gaming console and some cheap snacks and go for a ride in their fine automobile.

I very much think that people don't think that the system works. Only those who are in or above the top 10% of the society. The rest are aware of the brutal reality of the system and they are unwilling participants in it for that reason. Exactly the same with later Rome. Which is a reason why Rome fall so easily and so fast - there was no difference in between their former Roman masters and their new feudal overlords as far as Romans were concerned.

No they didn’t are you all in some kind of reality distortion field? At least read the article.
Heathrow and Gatwick are private, British Airways is private, so its got nothing to do with the Government. The decision by BA was probably made for economic reasons, the Heathrow slots could probably have been used for more profitable flights. If the demand was there another airline could have used their slots for flights to Ghana from Heathrow. Problem solved for people wanting to fly to Ghana from Heathrow. Sounds like a fit of pique from the Ghanaian government to me.
The nearest primary school is 4 mile away, 2 miles of which are on single lane tracks up and down steep hills, and I’m by no means in a massively remote area - we even have a bus (not to the villages and no use for working people).

I’d love to take farmland and build cycle tracks, but realistically they are not going to be used more than a couple of times a day.

Now if you’re talking in towns and cities, sure, but be careful when using the word “every”
Of course at that point as an end user, you could just "eliminate the middleman", and go to the next supermarket and buy yourself a bunch of microwave food.

The whole model only works because the end users don't know they are ordering reheated microwave crap. It's deception, nothing else.

McDonald's and other franchisers at least still offer a physical restaurant and food items you wouldn't be able to prepare at home in that quality.

Don’t know how I missed this, thanks
To put it in numbers (actual production per year, not capacity) [1] [2]:

China nuclear 2010: 75 TW/h
China nuclear 2021: 408 TW/h (+333 TW/h)
Worldwide nuclear: 2768 => 2800 (+32 TW/h)

China solar 2010: 0.7 TW/h
China solar 2021: 327 TW/h (+326 TW/h)
Worldwide solar: 34 => 1033 (+999 TW/h)

Luckily, nuclear doesn't really care about solar, since they complement each other perfectly (wind is a different story and it is already much bigger than nuclear).

However, China is a country that is pretty much perfect for nuclear: Little unnecessary regulation, no green party, expertise in nuclear technology, and excellence in constructing large scale construction projects.

So if nuclear is getting overtaken by solar even in China, then I don't see how it will be able to compete in the west against wind and solar.

> there may really be a finite set of [control structures]

Kleene Algebras (which compose via sequencing, choice, and repetition) map so well to sequential programming that I currently believe, yeah, we have them[0]:

- cf ';', case, and while

- Hoare triples map nicely into a Kleene Algebra. I suspect the rise of structured programming tanked adoption of formal methods, because informal methods sufficed, where they may not have had we continued with spaghetti coding.

- matrices/graphs of Kleene Algebras also form a Kleene Algebra, so the state machine[2] a "structured program" compiles down to is still expressed in the same paradigm.

- Kleene himself was originally modelling neural networks, not sequential programs, and he still arrived at the same theory.

So if we're looking for new control structures, they're probably to be found in non-sequential programming.

- unix '|' is a nice example: 'f | g' is not strictly parallel, because f can only run a finite amount ahead of g, which I'm guessing was a deliberate design decision.

- and sometimes not even there? NESL had novel control, but it implicitly followed the data structure[1].

[0] modulo Duff's Device, but so far even that seems to be unique, and not a whole family of too-narrowly-useful control structures.

[1] the 1962 formulation of APL already has a number of primitives suitable for parallel jobs. I have wondered if people in the Unit Record Equipment days often sped up computations by breaking decks into pieces, running them through a gang of machines, and recombining the output decks. However, the oldest APL person I've had contact with was still too young to remember those times, so it remains a hypothesis.

Edit: [2] upon reflection, this would explain why we have these three classical control structures: anything that doesn't really fit into them gets coded as a state machine, which does. Eg. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1109.5416.pdf is a recent rediscovery of a program derivation technique I've seen used elsewhere by at least Hehner and (IIRC) Pratt.

One possibility for going beyond: if we think geometrically, sequencing corresponds to snapping two paths together at a common endpoint to form a new path, choice to splitting the path into multiple paths (leaving a hole instead of a face between them, where 'if' often explicitly marks the beginning of a split, but any join, unless one is using ϕ functions, remains implicit — cf "comefrom"), and repetition to joining into an ancestor, forming (per Euler) a new face. So 0-d points are sets of states (iow: predicates), 1-d paths are maps, and 2-d faces are loops.
What would a 3-d volume be, if anything?
I think it can change and in fact has already started to change. The widespread adoption of remote work is eroding the concept of a "workday" and I expect this to continue.
Them being proprietary means they can invest in marketing and UX and QA.

That's how you get a company of 500 employees to buy your product that "just works" in all browsers, operating systems and mobile devices over a free one that needs every single user to fiddle with a custom solution.

Spending $5 per user and month is way way way cheaper than wasting 1h of an employee's time even once.

I find Zulip unbeareable and feel like I was sent back to the 1990s but IRC in the 90s was much better than Zulip in the 2020s.

What he’s saying is extremely muddled, I think he’s just ham fisted-ly trying to say “the truth got out there eventually” rather than “our process was as good as a criminal trial and whatever the FBI says constitutes absolute truth until it’s disproven”. I’m really not sure what Facebook should do in this situation, it’s really tricky for them.
Going back to basics. The fun there is in understanding the low-levels and being able to tinker is one of the most satisfying thing. Unfortunately we have added so much abstract layers over things using technology that no one knows anymore what exactly is happening under those abstract layers.

I remember my Dad use to do DIY of almost everything in the house, Radio repair, Grinder-Mixer repair, TV repair, Plumbing, Carpentry, Stove repair, Fan repair, Building his own tools for work, Electricals of the house, Sewing machine repair, Scooter repair(hell, he once even built a small moped for his boss's daughter!). And he had limited resources i.e. lack of tools. His education? A basic Diploma in electronics, in native language(not English) in a remote village and completed just few years after the country became independent from British rule?

But he was not unique. Most of my neighbours use to do DIY of most things. We are losing that art.

lets not forget not too long ago art was a available only to the rich. the social elements were confined to the whim and contingency of the lords, aristocratics and nobles who deemed art to be so. as we may glean from walter benjamin, the reproducibility of art in a capitalist industry brought art to the 'people'. we now live in an age where 'art' and 'artists' are ubiquitous and available for 'everyone'. these social parameters are beguiling and precarious. machine learning as a factor of human creativity is almost somewhat a meta statement on art as 'art'. a second order logic to this 'social' element. an 'algorithmic' tendencay to achive some 'objective' (german idealist) sensitivity to what art is, within the confines of a subjugate classism. think insta, the labor of some is proliferate to the consumption of many. even the doom scroll is an installation by which we socially engage to pronounce the illusion of an agreement to an objective beauty.

So with the C8 and 911 they can’t be characterized as merely RWD for straight line acceleration purposes because of weight distribution. One of the biggest issues with launching is that by the time weight transfer happens tires are already spinning, so to get a good launch you want a softer suspension which would ruin the car’s performance at corner exit. Being mid or rear engined helps there because you’re starting with 55-60% of the mass over the rear wheels which is closer to AWD than RWD for launch traction.
It takes time. It’s similar to people wondering why Matt Gaetz hasn’t been charged with sex trafficking yet, or Lauren Boebart with numerous violations of election rules.

And let’s not forget Trump and various others for Jan 6th, let alone what we’re seeing unfold now with these documents he took. Federal criminal investigations like this take a bit of time.

Everybody understands this.

Here’s what companies don’t understand: if you promote your product through a loss leader — which is arguably how Slack became popular in the first place — changing your pricing at a later date will piss people off.

You’re trying to put the blame on the consumer here which never makes any sense from a business perspective. If your loss-leading pricing strategy was unsustainable from the start, that’s on you.

It doesn’t matter if the product is “worth it” because when you piss people off, they will gladly put in effort into migrating to another provider they can trust, because that’s what it’s all about: trust.

The latest Google Apps fiasco is a great example of this, where Google eventually had to backpedal due to the massive backlash.

It’s simply a consequence of just staring at the numbers, without properly understanding the psychological effect of taking something away from what is, despite the zero income but rather in a sense of trust, a customer. It’s just a customer you failed to get any revenue out of, and that’s your fault, not the customers.

Changing pricing pisses people off. Killing features pisses people off. Bad communication pisses people off. It’s really not that hard.

At the end of the day you’re making a deal with the devil with these overly optimistic loss-leaders, because you’re getting growth you never would have gotten otherwise. Failing to capitalize on that and then blaming the users while throwing features out the window is just not good business practice.
I don't think it's a problem that needs fixing. I think of it like this - Twitter labels accounts that are Russian government accounts so that the public is aware of where the information they are seeing is coming from. That same benefit in the context of misinformation / selective publishing would go to the public if it was known that companies lean a certain way. For example the public knows that Fox leans right and MSNBC leans left.
What matters is the food.

For instance, where I live (England, so granted not a gastronomical paradise) the best pizzas in town are from a chain that is only available through the local Deliveroo's dark kitchen.

Even a pretty poor model (and it probably will be) would be a huge boon to editors in an encyclopedia full of references which are missing, out of date, a bit stretchy or plain bad faith.
