To be clear you want the state to more aggressively police/prosecute "bad" people on social networks?
“Some” in this case make up over 70% or so of his collection due to sexual content. I think that hits the demonetized territory.
> 3) those people that _willingly_ took those jobs are being taken advantage of

There is of course no threat of homelessness or starvation and those that were unemployed could have "chosen" to remain unemployed rather than taking those gig employment offers.

Also as per your example, clearly everyone that started working at Uber knew they had to take into account costs such as the replacement cost of their vehicle, higher maintenance cost due to a huge increase on average kilometers driven per month, higher insurance costs, cleaning and repair cost to seats due to higher usage, etc.

If people could choose to not work and not starve/lose their home I would somewhat agree most of those picking up employment as pauperized gig workers would do so willingly.
looks like they crossed rust and javascript and came up with something worse lol
So if your unsafe code hits an UB then your safe code can be broken…
People have been focused on getting stable diffusion running well on M1 macs because their graphics systems have so much more horsepower than the Intel macs. The M1s also have a fast memory sharing architecture for graphics, and this needs an absolute minimum of around 8gb of vram — many Intel macs just won’t be able to handle this.
i don’t think the crux of the issue is determining how to legislate the priv/publ dichotomy, but rather how can we enable as many people as desire an ability to establish their own chalkboard.
legislation as its proceeding is serving to entrench big tech platforms, its disabling the common person from having their own chalkboard with its own moderation preferences.
let the market decide.
this, in my opinion, is not the place for law. you don’t like how twitter does things? use a different app. it doesn’t exist? build it.

this includes things like legislation determining how to “appropriately” handle user data. it would be very easy to make it too expensive for any one person to “appropriately” handle user data in their webapp, which is my concern with the current twitter drama
Wow. Evidence?
Has Stable Diffusion been optimized already so it could run on M1 with 8 GB of RAM without swapping?
> Doesn't address other major C++ ecosystem problems like build times, packaging, build systems, etc. cpp2 could make them slightly worse.

I assume that as long as the cpp2 syntax is clean, you could improve on compile times. In theory, cpp2 files could compile much more quickly that C++, so as you migrate code to cpp2 your builds speed up?

It all depends on how well Sutter has thought through the cpp2 language design I suppose.
This is work that is 5+ years old. Before casually dismissing work that is long in the making, it's worth taking a moment to evaluate it. There are some amazing talks in the README that Herb has given. I particularly enjoyed his "Thoughts on Metaclasses" talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nsyX37nsRs) which starts with a live on-stage user study.

Herb's thoughtfulness and care for tasteful evolution is manifest in the way he describes his work, and it's a shame to see it disparaged so easily.
From the website:

> Will this be available on Intel Macs?

> Yep, I'm working on making it compatible with older Macs.
This doesnt make sense because hard hats and high vis vests are not health insurance and youre talking like theyre the same thing.
Unironically, hating on gig labor is just a proxy for hating on wage labor and capitalism. It has basically shown an even more effective way to exploit people than wage labor (because now you don't even have to guarantee them hours, a minimum wage, or even that their job will still be accessible to them tomorrow)

People who get super pissed at Uber without materialism just have a narrow perspective (Uber's still evil tho)
No, you've actually got it backwards.

Common carrier isn't a descriptive term that applies based on behavior. It's a legal category that forces the behavior.

Telephone companies are common carriers because the law requires them not to discriminate between customers. They don't "become" common carriers. They are required to be whether they like it or not. It's legislatively imposed.

And whether with railroads or telephone lines, this constricting regulation is generally accompanied with benefits, often involving access to land and lack of competition.
You are shut out, and with the latest CCP censorship measures you are forbidden to creat accounts "web-wide".

So I guess you should just keep your mouth shut other than harmonious online activities to avoid that doomsday situation, like me, I never use WeChat or Weibo to do anything other than keeping in basic touch, since you don't know which mundane word would become sensitive, trigger the censors and get you banned, there's no appeal.
For you it is about fanboys. For me it is direct utility. If there was no 'Rust' in the title I would miss it in my RSS feed. While I do have also filters for specific tech fields not language related - here I can find, for example, what is used in the production for this specific language I'm interested in.

I just have to learn now not to look in the comment section, which is not only off-topic but actually arguing why even this topic exists.
The issue is not that the people running the EU do not want what's best for the EU. It's that:

1. "what's best" is subjective
2. They sometimes lack the ability to understand and measure the consequences of their decisions
SOLAS. International maritime law requires a lot of stuff to ensure the Safety Of Life At Sea. SOLAS is initially a treaty which happens because of Titanic, but was updated repeatedly and eventually moved to a model where the safety rules change and you either keep up or you need to explicitly say "Nope, our country hates safety now". Unsurprisingly nowhere civilised wants to do that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOLAS_Convention

SOLAS doesn't make a lot of requirements of recreational vessels but in practice you'll have a Digital Selective Calling VHF radio much like SOLAS requires a container ship to have, because either local laws require it or just it was really annoying without it as you can't talk to anybody. DSC has automated Mayday. So it's practical to teach children how to activate it at about the same age you teach them to make a 911/ 112/ whatever phone call. The radio will make Mayday radio calls, automatically giving its location (unless it doesn't know) and its identity, and explaining that there's a problem, but it doesn't know what the problem is. Somebody will come investigate, because SOLAS also made explicit what is obvious to most mariners, that you should always come help people. The ocean will definitely kill us if it gets a chance, so by the Golden Rule we should all pitch in to save others.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_selective_calling

SOLAS also requires float-release EPIRBS which are beacons that a COSPAS/SARSAT satellite can see from space, and again transmit their identity, so a shore-based emergency response co-ordinator can see e.g. this beacon is registered to a medium sized power yacht named "Example", we don't know what's wrong with it, but its beacon is activated, so either it sank or its in trouble and the beacon was activated manually (or somebody fucked up). The owner's satellite phone doesn't answer, he gives a home number, his wife answered and said he's fishing with two friends, due back this evening.
It doesn't matter, if you can insert a political angle, in anything, these days, it sells because everyone is buying. It does not matter if it's imagined or real.
I’m saying there’s something innately different emotionally about interacting with a human.

So if you know it’s a machine, it will inherently change the subjective interaction. If you’re saying that it wont matter because we will get to a point where humans and machines are indistinguishable, that’s implying robots will be emotional and no longer just processing data in the way we currently think of AGI. Essentially it means they will be conscious with subjective experience of their own or just philosophical zombies. Both are essentially fictitious thought experiments at this point.
It could be memory bound. In which case CPU number could be drivn by something else like redundancy or memory limits.

Given the traffic the number of CPUs seems tiny regardless.

fn is no fun
I'm fed up with conversations. I value altruistic softness, politeness and being sociable. But it's a shallow muddy game without the right feel or tension.

Too much time it devolves on vague if not fluff talk where people are more focused on liability rather than honesty, fun, joy or thinking.

Even with best efforts in seeking shared fun the stats are too low.
> Projects can't keep using an old compilers because of security patches though. At some point, the old versions are too old to keep the security up to date.

I'm talking about using the same language version (standard), not compiler version - e.g. the latest Clang still supports the C++98 ISO version.

> A more common example, what if a library that you use stops supporting the old version, and the latest compatible release of the library has a security vulnerability.

You backport the fix or the change library. Nobody said it's easy but your project should not hold the entire language hostage.
The project dates back to 2015, and the compiler work started in 2021, well before Carbon was announced.
I assume p0f doesn't do TCP timestamp clock skew fingerprinting out of curiosity too? Curious if there are any OSS tools for that.

Ubuntu became too heavy and bloated for that kind of usecase

Unless they have a special distribution without the bloat?

Ubuntu Core is the only one i remember, and even that one is pretty fat (~250mb)

Automatic Differentiation in 38 lines of Haskell
That's basically what Twitter is right now, with the exception that their moderators ban those they don't agree with. So you get millions of sockpuppets saying the same thing. What a great way to manufacture consent.
I worked on two super apps for a good part of the last decade; one in India and one in South East Asia so here's my take based on those experience.

As the article points out, most of the are trying to apply the playbook of WeChat. IMO it succeeded because they built an enormous user base which has a terrific daily engagement. Once daily engagement is cracked it becomes not all that hard (but not trivial) to add more use cases. P2P payments, file sharing, and you name it.

However, in India and SEA the companies tried to go the other way. To take Indian example, most of the fintechs in their quest to increase engagement began adding chat. However, by then people had adopted to WA so it miserably failed. But they still kept at it and added more fintech related use cases; to take PayTM as an example one could do just about anything around payments with that. Insurance, toll payments, utility payment, pay to merchant, pay off EMIs, investments and what not. So they did achieve decent daily engagement.

Grab has been trying to do the same. Going from Taxi app to a generic payments app. It's all about engagement.

It's an enormous investment though. Not only about rolling out features but also to build two sided market places (example; merchant payment requires onboarding merchants too), onboarding utilities etc., However the profit from them are minuscule despite good utilisation because the recipient of the payment (like merchant, or utility providers) isn't going to give away their share of money.

So, in the end all the fintechs resort to lending which is the biggest chunk of profit generator. It's a shame that the article doesn't mention it.
Why do all these 20-somethings have closed captions turned on?
That's a very poor critique, as the URL, the title and the first sentence would suggest. Bad even by the low standards of these things generally.

edit: Turns out the author runs a climate change denial think tank:

https://www.desmog.com/global-warming-policy-foundation/

and has been talking nonsense on this topic for over a decade:

> During a question and answer period following the debate, a question from the audience nearly left Menton stammering. What plausible alternative explanations, he was asked, account for the obvious warming trend shown in actual temperature measurements since the nineteenth century? Menton’s initial response was ridiculous, consisting of but one word: “Clouds.” After an uncomfortable silence ensued, Menton continued: “Cosmic rays. Nobody knows what’s causing it.”

further edit: topical bit of info about one of the billionaires anonymously funding this "charity":

> Hintze is also chairman of the board of trustees for the Prince's Foundation for Building Community , to which he has donated £683,954 in recent years. In 2009, Hintze received The Prince of Wales Medal for Arts Philanthropy from Prince Charles, who has been a vocal critic of climate sceptics.

> In 2010 during a speech at St James' Palace, the prince said climate sceptics were peddling "pseudo science". In a speech at the European Parliament a year ago , the prince said climate sceptics were having a "corrosive effect" on public opinion and were playing a "reckless game of roulette" with the future of the planet. Last December, Hintze replaced Hylton as his charity adviser with Major William Mackinlay, Prince Charles's former equerry.

Worth noting that the Hylton fellow mentioned was ousted as part of a political scandal mentioned further up this article:

You know, collectively, we can do something about that… It’s a political decision in society to allow that added value to be sucked up by those who are already wealthy.
>I have yet to see a convincing argument, here on HN or elsewhere, about how these companies are taking advantage of workers.

I'll try :).

A right, by definition, is a moral or legal entitlement to have or obtain something or to act in a certain way. (Legal) Rights cannot be taken away from you.

Make sure you understand that before the next step.

Now read -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_rights and make sure you spend ample time becoming acquainted with the kind of rights that are bestowed to workers in countries like the US.

Now make a judgment on whether you think some of these companies are infringing some of these rights. If you also have trouble with that, let me know and I'll help as well!
It's not modern at all. Type system notation has been using x : T to say "x has type T" for at least 50 years. It's the standard in academia, and has existed in real-world programming languages since 1971. [0]

I'm not the GP, but I've had a similar experience, with the Caddy docs seeming good for simple configurations, but lacking for more complex ones.

I last setup a Caddy config maybe 6-
9 months ago, and everything related to client certificates was either scantily documented, wrongly documented, or not documented at all. It might be I got unlucky, as some of the client cert features were fairly new, but it wasn't a great experience.

Still, I much prefer Caddy's config system to Nginx or HAProxy.

Oh, something else I'd really love to see are more fully-featured example configs, as it can be hard to know how to start sometimes.
This is an interesting precedent! The big social network companies could make the legal argument that they are advertising networks, not free speech networks, and should be able to censor people in order to better fulfil their primary purpose. They would be telling the truth.
> Lots of countries in South America also have socialized healthcare and it’s terrible.

Lots of countries in South America have a lot more problems than healthcare. Maybe consider their per capita GDP or something to offset that fact.

Even with that, Costa Ricans, Chileans, Cubans, Panamanians, Uruguayans and Colombians have longer life expectancies than the US, which manages to be 54th in the world while spending about as much tax money per capita as any other country does on healthcare.
Great tool, but not maintained anymore, unfortunatelly.
We can all agree that no one is forcing anyone to work for these companies… as I see it, the main issues are; 1) how said workers are classified (1099 vs. W-2) 2) Benefits and lack thereof based on the classification 3) Hidden cost of using your own equipment. 4) Real pay once you factor in 1-3.

That said, it’s not any different than say Walmarts of the world - where most of their full time W-2 employees are in public assistance simply because of the pay.

Reality, in the capitalism anyhow, is - if you’re working for someone they’re not going to pay you more than what they can get out of you or the next sucker willing to work for less - the question is how much?! And what’s fair.

There are some interesting observations, but the author’s desire to fit his argument within his ideological framework ultimately dooms the essay.
My teams' weekly syncs take a similar format to this.

At a high level, the structure for the larger team (10, full remote):

* 3-5 minutes unstructured social banter
* 5-10 minutes general team update
* 10 minutes individual updates
* 5 minutes review recent releases and new bugs

We've followed that format for years, and I think one of the greatest things I did is guarantee that I'm not talking at them for the full 30 minutes. In fact, each person contributes for at least a minute in their individual update. I'll often have someone else talk about something they've been working on as the general team update, and always have the person who identified a bug talk us through it. As the host, I only need to come up with a few minutes of content per week and keep the flow of the meeting going.

The one point from the article that I disagree with (at least in the context of my meetings) is the necessity of strict timing. Some meetings only need to be 20 minutes, and I'm not going to artificially extend it if it isn't necessary. Others go over time by a few minutes, and while some people may need to drop early, the meeting is recorded and agenda/notes are published so they can be easily referenced as necessary.
Yeah this makes the most sense. There’s probably enough local compute power to run these filters on the client. But that’s a huge power shift and the change is likely more political than technological.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to check the errata while going through the book.
"Let's analyze <cultural artifact> through <the current zeitgeist lens>" seems like a useful template to update on the value of both the artifact and the lens. In this case the lens seems to distort more than clarify the artifact.
I think companies being allowed to carry whatever content they want is the best compromise. Companies aren't there to ensure your free speech or provide a platform. That has never been a constitutional right. There is nothing keeping the far right or far left from setting up and coming up with AltRightFace or LeftAntiface. This is the judiciary picking and choosing winners and losers that align with their personal philosophy. No one was -ever- guaranteed a platform outside a public debate forum. If you want new laws for that then get Congress to pass it. Judges are always trying to sidestep the will of the people, in particular the current SCOTUS. Maybe a further compromise would be to keep companies like cloudflare, spectrum, digital ocean, or AWS from playing favorites as they are providing the most basic of services (web hosting, web apps, etc) that make this stuff possible. Generally not general public facing. I could see a compromise where they wouldn't be allow to turn off content unless it was breaking the law (threats at individuals, treason, insurrection talk, etc)
I wish those advocating universal taxing for crappy care would take the moral high road and not rob his fellow citizen to pay for his bills. Instead, let his fellow citizen give freely in love.

Universal healthcare is such a moral sham, and what we have now in the US is also pretty bad. There is a better way.
I would add HP Grice to the list of startlingly clear ordinary language philosophers. His 1957 essay "Meaning" has this definition:

"A means something by x" is equivalent to "A intended the utterance of x to produce some effect in an audience by means of the recognition of this intention".

It may seem less than clear taken out of context, but there is a wonderful argument working toward the definition and once he finally presents it, it's a bit of a mic drop moment.

Also, he is one of the few philosophers whose work proved to be foundational in linguistics. Any book/course in pragmatics will talk about Grice's work on implicature and background knowledge.
There are people that support the concept of Proof of Work that aren't miners, so some other networks could zoom in value. Ethereum Classic is still a $5bn marketcap, for example.

More people will be swayed if Ethereum mainnet works after further phases of its scaling plan, without user experience drawback. Ethereum post-merge still has some ambitious theoretical things, like sharding. This should have some drawbacks.

People think scaling isnt possible without drawbacks so are fine with lower bandwidth Proof of Work that just meters by transaction fees.
“Modern mariners can tack against the wind by setting the sails at sharp angles. That wasn’t feasible 2,400 years ago because sails were fixed then.”

From the picture it seems the sail on the replica can pivot around the mast but looks like it would take a lot of work (and time) with all the rigging.

So is this quote’s meaning that modern sailboats can change the angle of its sail fast enough to be useful while the ancient ones couldn’t?
