> The filter for this is a simple review exercise. We present a small chunk of code and ask them to review it over 15 minutes pointing out any issues they see. The idea is to respect their and our time. It works pretty well and we can determine how much experience someone has by their ability to pick up the obvious vs subtle bugs.

So maybe there's more? But it's definitely a mandatory, initial part of the interview process at the very least.
As the story's headline and main thesis confirm, I cannot think of a large tech company that I'd trust less than Twitter to effectively mitigate the child porn problem, not if Google/Facebook/TikTok/Pornhub continue to struggle with it. It not b/c Twitter Engineering is incompetent, but Twitter just doesn't seem to have nearly the same capacity or resources as its larger/more profitable rivals.

So the more alarming thing for me is that Twitter was even considering an official porn product at all. Spaces and Super Followers feel half-baked and underpromoted; Periscope and Vine are long dead. For Twitter to seriously believe it could whip up its own OnlyFans seems like a decision made out of pure desperation than gung-ho innovative spirit.

I'm also curious about how Twitter thought through the downsides of having an official porn platform. A big part of Twitter's usefulness is its adoption by brands, celebrities, and government officials and agencies. If porn became a big part of Twitter's brand association and identity -- which it would have to be to be any kind of financial lifeline -- I feel like many mainstream brands and celebrities would just move to Facebook with its more-tightly patrolled "public square"

You might be even more surprised how much they love Americans. Albania has big main roads named after US presidents, the national parliament is on one of them.

Bill and George are also very popular names for children.

While US presidents often attract protests in Europe, it's the complete opposite in Albania and people turn up in hordes cheering for them, there's also highly favourable visas for US citizens, you can arrive and legally work for 12 months without question.

They have a lot of love and aren't quick to forget US support in the 90's when Yugoslavia broke up, a somewhat strange situation being a muslim majority country these days, yet the sentiment still remains just as strong.
Somewhat related; how do you find these "looking for [co-]maintainer" libraries?

> The problem is that Intel is reviving their Pentium 4 strategy of performance via ridiculous frequencies and voltages, and AMD is following suit.

> Contrast to Apple, where the strategy is throwing die space at more execution units and running the clocks at the efficient end of the voltage frequency curve.

That's the benefit of having a single customer. Apple knows they're never going to build mobile devices with good thermals, so their chips will never clock to the moon, so they have freedom to make a much wider core that (almost certainly) has larger clock domains and would be difficult to run at higher clocks.

Otoh, AMD has many customers and those customers like high clockspeed, and their competitor will give it to them, so AMD needs to have a design that can clock to the moon, but also be power efficient at lower clocks.
This will be the majority use case for tools like this. I suppose this also extends rule 34 - even if it does not exist, there will be porn of it.
> Is it possible that Apple’s implementation uses less power and hence conserve battery life?

On WebKit, you can still use WebRequest to intercept and log all traffic, you just can't block it. I don't think that intercepting/recording all traffic and selectively blocking it would have a meaningful difference compared to just intercepting it all and letting it through.
For whatever reason, most of those who challenge the orthodoxy on this go downhill, I mean Jordan Peterson used to be a 'quixotic person with an opinion', but this popularity made him a hero to 'one side' and so he's gone down a really odd path.

There is no meaningful debate on the issue because nobody (or rather very few) is willing to dump their career to challenge the orthodoxy. Therefore only voices challenging the system are far-right wingnuts like Matt Gaetz, the Trump sons etc.

I order for the issue to be taken serious, people need to be a few notches above 'Joe Rogan' and there just not that many.

You’re assuming OPs not doing the above. A job is 35 hours a week. OP might want a side gig that gives 20 hours x $200/hour. This means OPs making $4k extra a week and has 55 hours remaining a week to do the above assuming 8 hours of sleep. The few quick judgements in this thread are something else.
You're talking about the internals and optimizations. Smalltalk still uses message passing as the concept, even if it doesn't send an actual a message for the recipient to parse under the covers.

That's how you can trivially have distributed objects, instances responsing to methods they don't directly declare and know about, etc.
>the Canadarm (a gimmick that allows them to pretend to be an aerospace player)

That name "Canadarm" is related to how Canadians are far more flag-obsessed than Americans. The maple leaf appears in the logo/signage of every single company in Canada, including Canadian subsidiaries of US companies.

If Canada had a full space program of its own, we'd see red-and-white Canashuttles (named Anne Murray, Rush, Gordon Lightfoot, and Margaret Atwood) launching from Cape Canadaveral in Labrador.

That is where you are wrong. They are not my rules. They are commands of God to be obeyed. They are meant to be followed and to show one thing: That we cannot obey them perfectly. If we could, and history proves we can't, then we wouldn't need God. But we do need God and that is why he sent his son to redeem us from the eternal consequences, not the temporal consequences, of our failure to obey God's commandments. So by His grace the commandments are sufficient.

That's the definition, and it's the same as "an increase in the cost of goods & services".

"The root [cause] of X is [definition of X]" is very much a tautology.
"Whataboutism" is so reliable in discussions of China that it may as well be the only card in the Wumao's deck. It's also a pretty defeatist attitude, were they to actually believe it, since it amounts to "Everyone is awful and there's no point in trying to be better".

This is basically just facilitating people data dredging their own health. If you measure one outcome variable and enough "candidate" inputs you'll eventually find something that looks like a pattern.

As a doctor I measure CRP when I'm specifically looking for something - but that's in the context of having formed a differential diagnosis, then having considered the pre-test probably of each differential, and forming a view that the test result with alter the overall likely outcome. The last thing I would even want to do (for me or my patients) is to start randomly measuring CRP when generally well.

Why not just eat the ginger?
AM4 being supported for that long caused more trouble than it was worth IMO. When buying a new CPU+motherboard, you had to make sure you got a motherboard with a new BIOS, since BIOS updates were required to support new CPUs. AMD would even send out older CPU models just to help consumers update their BIOS of necessary. A lot of cheaper motherboards didn't have enough flash memory to support both the last and the first CPUs, so you had to make sure not to install the wrong BIOS update or your CPU wouldn't work anymore.

Intel's approach, which means you can always count on the BIOS supporting your CPU if the CPU physically fits, and which meant a BIOS update would never remove support for your CPU, is honestly arguably the more consumer friendly approach.
As someone who stopped looking at porn about two months ago, after years of porn use, I can tell you: it’s going to be highly subjective.

I used to watch porn basically daily. But then after finally deciding to stop watching porn, the idea of porn itself is downright off putting to me. I don’t even quite know how or why. It just is.

And I imagine it will be the same for others with AI generated porn.
This kind of toxic purview is one of the 'roots of the problem'.

This is the same situation as the opposite side of the country, here on Vancouver Island the waitlist for a doctor is only getting longer. That combined with offices closing (can't get enough money doing their fee-for-service work to keep the doors open with rising rents and everything else) has created an awful non-emergency medical system. Our province cares, but not enough to forcibly do something about it. Medical professionals are some of the worst treated employees next to teachers.

Yeah, I’ve programmed (not professionally) quite a bit in the various free Smalltalks and from a purely development perspective I could easily see it as a competitive advantage. The big question I would have is performance of the VMs and images under load but I guess that would fall under premature optimization. I imagine horizontal scaling or transitioning to Gemstone when needed would be the answer.

> It's one of the most extreme forms of contact sports, but it's sanctioned. Injuries are commonplace, not something trans people exclusively inflict.

For a competitor who has grown up with the (extreme in the case of contact sports) benefit of male hormones to compete with someone without that benefit is something new, at least in this era. It makes injuries more likely ... to the competitor with the female hormone profile.

A lot of us feel that it isn't fair. Whatever the explanation, it appears to be a man beating up a woman. Because biologically it is. Sanctioned or not, consensual or not, that's not my preferred entertainment.

The way I like to deploy a Smalltalk backend service is when developers have their cloned git repos and follow gitflow, one new directory for a new branch, so they can:

1. Build a local image intended to help with 1 branch (branched out of fresh cloned develop).

2. Add changes, unit and system tests for TDD/regression defense/coverage.

3. Commit and push code to share with the teammates.

4. Open PR to develop when ready/PR's approved

5. Eventually merge develop into master and version bump for release

6. The PRs running CI/CD pipelines with the full battery of tests and

7. The final docker image that devops can consume at will for deployment under their load balancer or whatever architecture they had setup.

In this style, images generated by work on bugfix or feature branches are optionally disposable after its PR. The dev can choose to archive or not.

I learned a lot by writing "prototypes." If you look at system design and architecture from afar, they're all very simple patterns that can be written up in a self contained python or javascript program:

* RPC = function call

* API design = function signature

* data schema = simple structs

* message queue = list

* load balancer = simple facade object

* database = hash table / in memory SQLite

Once you have a rough sketch in place, you can run your prototype and test different behaviours.

It is a bit "tricky" to tackle asynchronous and concurrency, which you should do from the start. I prefer to do everything based on callbacks, and run my simulation from a static input list of events, ticking every component with a tick() method. This way I can generate different scenarios, save them to JSON, replay them.

Here's some examples:

cell.py is a kubernetes prototype (blackboard system), while app.py is the start of the netflix event notification system.

The only reason we see articles like this about AI stealing (or not stealing) jobs is because we have a collective fantasy that generalized intelligence is right around the corner. It's not.

But that doesn't mean we won't get there eventually.

AI (and AR/VR, but that's another topic), to me, is like PCs in the early 80s. Everyone can kinda sorta theoretically understand the value, but the technology has not advanced enough to have a meaningful impact on our day to day lives, outside of very well defined problems. The use cases that most of us can think of require massive leaps in technology.

Once upon a time, people thought of computers as fancy calculators. Steve Jobs had to compare them to bicycles to get people to understand the benefit. Computers were so bad for so long that any movie that tried to feature a hacker subplot had to come up with all kinds of crazy visuals to help the audience relate to this strange new world.

Same with AI. We can see what it's doing now, and be disappointed when we realize it's nowhere near as good as we've been led to believe. Or we can zoom into some distant future where AI is just as conscious as anyone else, but super intelligent. What we struggle with is the in-between, the journey to getting there.

DALL-E is amazing. One day we'll look back and be able to see how crucial of an advance this is.

But the PR story around DALL-E is all smokes and mirrors. It's the classic tale: Scientists make a discovery; the general public doesn't understand the significance of the discovery; so someone (usually in marketing or PR) has to paint a picture to show how incredible it is, otherwise funding will dry up. That picture, inevitably, is both useful and inaccurate.

For another analogy: Just like a map of the world is inaccurate but useful, so are these fantastical stories. We just need to remember: the map is not the territory. It's just a tool to help us navigate the territory.
My 3 year old GPU generates one image every ~5 seconds, and according to the documentation draws 215 watts at a maximum steady state load (TDP). That's very roughly a kilowatt second per image.

The internet tells me that a 2022 honda civic takes about 0.07 liters of gas per km. And it also tells me that that is equivalent to 2394 kilowatt seconds. I.e. 2394 images on a 3 year old GPU per km travelled using a new and fuel efficient model of car...

I have worked in the environmental advocacy community for a long time. There is a reason this talking point is radioactive and never talked about. You have the environmental footprint of many, many Pakistanis. The moment you start talking in the terms of the population being already too high or the increasing footprint of people from poor nations being a problem, the obvious solutions become terrifying. And if you read through your first comment, I think you will see why. It’s always “too many of them,” not “too many of us.”

And I’m not even saying that’s incorrect, just that there is a reason it’s not talked about.
