Cloudflare: "... we believe are potential criminal acts and imminent threats to human life that were posted to the site."

No, Cloudflare isn't obligated to continue to provide services to support "potential criminal acts and imminent threats to human life". Perhaps if KiwiFarms had better moderated their content and discouraged such behavior this could have been avoided.
I ran an open CIFS volume (windows share) in our dorm for music and movies. This was just after Napster went down but before Limewire or something. So the only way to share music was to upload everything you had and have access to whatever everyone else uploaded. You just dropped what you had in a writable folder and it would organize it in read only folders, doing any deduping for identical files and flagging non-identical files with the same meta or anything it didn’t understand.
There seems to be a double standard with who can partake in intimidation campaigns.

Before any mention of keffals in Kiwifarms she was running a harassment campaign against Destiny, making false accusations that he was a rapist and rallying their followers to get him de-platformed on all platforms.

The worst situation is having one sided intimidation campaigns where trans activists can de-platform users like Destiny but they cannot defend themselves due to either losing remaining platforms or fear of losing their remaining platforms.
Libertarians are anything but shy about defending porn.

Not sure about that claim, but Twitter still is distributing CP on their platform and they are still unable to remove it, which means they are indeed breaking the law. [0] [1] [2]

Certainly, and the book doesn't claim otherwise.

There are differences in the origins of the drive to succeed, however, and these are still worth examining.

In modern Western society, the pressure to succeed is largely internalised. People are encouraged to be their "best selves", to strive for endless self-improvement. This pressure doesn't come from familial or societal obligations, but an obligation to oneself. I'll just quote the book:

"The achievement-subject stands free from external instances of domination forcing it to work and exploiting it. It is subject to no one if not to itself. However, the absence of external domination does not abolish the structure of compulsion. It makes freedom and compulsion coincide. The achievement-subject gives itself over to freestanding compulsion in order to maximize performance. In this way, it exploits itself. Auto-exploitation is more efficient than allo-exploitation because a deceptive feeling of freedom accompanies it. The exploiter is simultaneously the exploited. Exploitation now occurs without domination. That is what makes self-exploitation so efficient."
Upon hearing this, I was enlightened.
Good question.

Bandwidth of dual channel DDR4-3600: 48 GB/s
Bandwidth of PCIe 4 x16: 26 GB/s
Bandiwdth of 3090 GDDR6X memory: 935.8 GB/s

Since neural network evaluation is usually bandwidth limited, it's possible that pushing the data through PCI-E from CPU to GPU is actually slower than doing the evaluation on CPU only for typical neural networks.

How do you know?

And to be specific, the claim was "targeted threats have escalated over the last 48 hours to the point that we believe there is an unprecedented emergency and immediate threat to human life".
IANAL but strict liability could very well apply here, so the answer may be yes.
I think the answer is that you mostly didn't, because it was cheaper/better to just carve the whole page in wood, which then acts as it's own press, and was the widespread technique used in Europe for images and short text before people tried moveable type.

So it's kind of like, why didn't we use electric cars in the 1900s, the answer is we did, but since something else was cheaper/better at that moment given the context all the decades of industrial innovation happened around that model, until there was a reason to revisit it much later. I think the Chinese inventors were like those early electric car makers. Really smart inventors, but just missing some key supporting infrastructure or need. Just like printing in Europe was held back by lack of paper.

Excellent article and interview.

Jack London helped me see how those in control (here the New Orleans owners of enslaved people, the merchants, and/or the politicians—author says many were all 3) would likely respond to an event (including disease) so as to preserve their own position and then claim that as moral and scientific:

In The Iron Heel, referring to owners of northern factories with child labor and other ghastly working conditions, Jack London wrote,

“When they want to do a thing, in business of course, they must wait till there arises in their brains, somehow, a religious, or ethical, or scientific, or philosophic, concept that the thing is right. And then they go ahead and do it, unwitting that one of the weaknesses of the human mind is that the wish is parent to the thought.“

I try to stay personally vigilant in remembering how my mind can trick me this way. The trick works in so very many contexts.
Which companies in which countries? I'm in Germany and I have never ever seen or (from friends and acquaintances) heard of vacations not taken due to pressure from the employer. It's about as common as an employer arbitrarily deciding to transfer less than the agreed amount of salary at the end of the month - maybe some very dubious employers have done it at some point, but it's not something to worry about.

What is fairly common is employers reminding employees to take their vacation days before they expire. Vacation days from year n expire in April or so of year n+1. That is intended to prevent postponing vacations to never (maybe until switching jobs).
Kiwi Farms response to CloudFlare
Josh Moon (Null), the owner and administrator of Kiwi Farms, responds to their removal from CloudFlare.

Their core claim is that the post which got attention (a shooting/bomb threat) was made by a sleeper account that had only ever posted a single time before the controversy started.
Null also says the post was removed just after half an hour from its creation, having been reported seven times by other community members.

I’m not a fan of ceremonies/rituals and always have to laugh when looking up the dictionary definition of ceremony/ritual which implies something that gets because “we’ve always done it” but is actually pointless. Pretty much on the nose. If something is useless, then change it!
>Or was this a response to some alarming Twitter outrage?

People have died. Byuu/Near comitted suicide after an harassment campaign that lasted years and included death threats, doxing, and harassment both online and irl.

Free speech in my book is about protecting people like Near from being harassed into silence or death, more than it is about enabling said harassment campaigns.
Yes that's right.

What's missing here is that this doesn't come for free. Requiring to always be able to get information about "what's the progress" without delay means that someone must constantly calculate the current progress. And this is difficult and requires a human that can estimate all the things, including resources (will a dev get sick next week?) and delays from other teams, external blockers and their chance of happening (will the clould environment fail again this week?) and so on.

If this is desired (it may well be) a resource for this has to be planned and implemented _in advance_. That costs a lot of money. And even then, it can just give an estimate in the form of a probablity curve.

If the management has not planned for this, they can either not expect to get status information all the time but have to request it, then wait for it to be calculated and have to accept it will delay the project by the time it takes to calculate it. Or they have to live with an extremely vague and unprecise estimation.

And unfortunately, all methods, be it SCRUM, v-model xt or a randomly assembled method, will not automatically calculate a good estimate. Otherwise no one would complain. :)

- More detailed simulation. Cargo has fixed destinations so more places to deliver = more cargo

- The UI is much worse

Correct. There is a status quo bias that infects people's thinking, as if deciding not to deplatform somebody isn't itself a decision. Similar fallacy that people bring to the Trolley Problem which can maximize the number of dead people.

There is a kernel of truth though. Many communities are organized per instance, so if you want to be part of multiple communities you must register on multiple instances. You can follow an account, but you can't follow an entire instance and have all toots of everyone there displayed in a timeline on your own instance.

Humans are naturally converging towards communities, and Mastodon leaned into that. But it's actually not the right tool, because in the end it's centered around individual accounts. Lemmy is the closest thing to what the author wants I guess.
No amount of seeing black characters in a movie or show (or the flipside in Indonesia, seeing non-asian characters) is gonna make it any less strange for people when they spot them in real life if the reality for them is that every single person they ever interact with in their day-to-day lives looks like them.

I also don't see what exactly you're improving here either. Most people outside of the West that I've met don't care about diversity, at least not in the way American leftists seem to portray it. In my eyes, that Hollywood cast of elites making millions off of acting are all the same type of person regardless of their gender, skin color or any of the other superficial traits people usually judge diversity by, and I can relate to them as much as I can relate to a mosquito. Likewise, I might be Serbian by blood, but I feel about as Serbian as you probably do, considering I was born and have grown up in Indonesia. I relate more to Indonesians and stories revolving around Indonesia than I do anything coming out of the West (the influence of the Internet notwithstanding), yet by all superficial standards I definitely wouldn't be considered "diverse" enough for a lot of things considering I'm just another corpse-white dude.

I guess my point is that the US, and especially the Liberal/Hollywood idea of diversity isn't anything like what my friends and I would consider diverse at all, and I suspect a lot of people in the real world feel very similarly, though that's obviously hopeful conjecture on my part. I'll take my friend group consisting of every nationality that exists (and a lot of them are dual nationalities as well!) who have white skin color over the same number of Americans of every shade of the rainbow any day of the week if you ask me to make the most diverse crowd of people possible.

Why? The article states that Space Shuttle technology is 40 years old, isn’t it more like 50.

Agile is a way being, not a thing to be.

For the majority of people, they just want to know what to do and expecting them to “become agile” is like asking them to change their beliefs related to politics, religion, etc. — AND more importantly, practice them.

If you want to become more agile, focus on improving yourself and finding others that align to what you feel is agile.

* Personally, to me, Boyd’s OODA model of agility is the the most adaptable. Problem is it’s not a check list and requires you to internalize is. For example, most people think being agile is always about speed, but it’s not, it’s about dynamically controlling yourself in to optimally control what is not yourself; sometimes most agile thing to do is be slow, or even do nothing — to see what happens, force someone else to act, etc. People that to me felt the most agile are the ones that enjoy being agile all the time and playing agility games.

I started programming on the VIC20 back when it was released, and moved on to being part of the C64 and Amiga Demo Scene in the 80s, releasing the first Amiga Demo creator back in May 1987:

https://coding-and-computers.blogspot.com/2022/05/first-amig...

Programming was my hobby and passion before I went on to study Computer Science, and subsequently working as a systems developer for the past 30 years.

Programming is still my hobby, and I use my free time reading up on and trying out interesting technologies and languages. I've also completed 30+ MOOCs since 2012 in my spare time. For me the thrill is the problem solving part and the journey towards a solution to a problem or task by applying both old and newly acquired knowledge. It's something like the thrill of waiting in anticipation for Christmas presents as child. I've been lucky to work with lots of nice people during my time in the industry. I hope to continue with my hobby after I professionally retire.

Collecting info early serves several functions:
- confirming you are a real user
- routing / escalating you appropriately
- weeding out unmotivated calls
- generating analytics about inbound in volume
- (potentially) improving your handle time

As you can see, the frost four bullets have value even if the fifth one is ignored, so "vestigial" identification steps have a reason to persist even if they don't follow you. Add in a couple of reasons that the info might not get passed:

- fear of fraud
- constantly shifting tech platforms
- org boundaries, like using an outsourced call center at certain times of day

And there are a lot of ways you can end up with repeat asks.

Bonus: the same reasons this info doesn't get passed makes it harder to track the negative impact to it not getting passed along, so it is hard to prioritize a fix.

That last example, as you recognise at the end, was an agile flow, as per the Manifesto, they found what worked for them well. However they wanted to call it.

Any other flow in which management wants to standarized the process, fails at agility. I don't consider those Agile. Just because I call the fruit Orange Blue, doesn't make it so.
The big mistake you're making is capitalizing the word "agile".

At $WORK we are agile as a software team, but we don't practice Agile. It's a subtle but important difference imo.

Unfortunately the word "agile" has picked up some baggage over the years that means to many folks the word translates into a rigid framework of practices, philosophies and ceremonies. This to me is the total antithesis of what being agile really means.
Sounds to me that the artificial crunch is the problem. And if you have the capability to deploy quickly, I don’t see any value in sprints they tend to artificially delay deployments, reviews or retrospectives. If something needs talking about, don’t wait for a ceremony in a week and a half when everyone has forgotten about it.

I’ve been part of teams working this way without sprints and artificial crunch on mature and large scale services, so it really isn’t a MVP/startup only deal…
Since this was written Chez Scheme was open sourced, it has a great optimizing compiler that doesn't go via C. The downside of it is that it doesn't come with a lot of libraries, so for example if you want to use sockets you have to find a library[0] or write your own bindings.

I completely agree with you. Thing is - not everyone can do that.

Thats why top companies hire best talent and not anyone who applied.

Thats why there is a canyon size difference in compensation between one “expert” engineer and another EXPERT engineer.

It sounds like elitism, thats just how it is.

blfoat would indeed be nice. It's supported on a wide range of hardware (basically all mid-range to high-end Intel CPUs since 2013, AMD MI5 and up compute cards, ARM NEON and NVIDIA cards since Pascal [10-series, 2016!]).

It could speed up calculations and significantly reduce memory requirements. I'd expect slightly worse results, though.

It boils down to who's doing it. An artist in photoshop the artist is responsible. An AI asked to do it likely the people that made the AI is responsible (until AI can think for itself).

That's true. A lot of people conflate aggressive and misandrist self-described (but fake) feminists who adopt that label for clout and status and who are prominent in high culture, and the actual more low profile social justice folks who often criticize things like a culture towards height preference. Amber Heard is a good example of the former. A clear narcissist who uses "short" as a pejorative against men and adopts the feminist label for clout.
Whenever possible I recommend reading primary sources because they're often fascinating and remarkably well written works. That's why they're influential.
Disconnect the user, not the platform.
I believe safe harbor laws cover this for the platform, but perhaps some platforms are pushing the limits and litigation will likely still be how we decide upon that. It would be surprising if there isn't precedent on this already, I would be surprised if it goes anywhere.
