"Modern daemons should follow a SIMPLER yet more powerful scheme" LOL. I don't mind systemd in turnkey consumer products like chromebooks or in enterprise. Maybe it's faster or complexity is necessary to do complex/failsafe things etc. But for me the point of Linux is being able to understand and customize how everything works. Which is not necessarily purely education and impractical. Maybe I have something tangibly useful to myself hooked up to Raspberry Pi GPIO pins and want to control it with a little custom daemon. A shell script with start and stop commands is all the time I have to spare rather than learning all the red tape that may be appropriate for complex software.

"But Musk has a different risk profile"

I wouldn't assume anything Musk tweets has anything to do with "risk profiles". He recently tried to commit fraud to get out of the Twitter acquisition, and when his lawyers told him it would go very badly for him he closed the deal. He is compulsively dishonest.

The New York times reports that Musk "suggested in a newspaper interview that China could be appeased if it were given partial control of Taiwan." You don't think he's trying to suck up to the Chinese government since he has business interests there?

Of course he's very good at inventing "plausibly deniable" motivations for his toxic behavior, but I wouldn't take anything he says at face value.

People are claiming he cares about free speech because he claims he does, which is laughable. He is suggesting free speech be taken from the people of Taiwan. And for realsies, not the "If I'm kicked off Twitter I'm oppressed" version of free speech.
On Android I use Fritter. You can even follow people and get notification without an account. Great for following news and feed type accounts that are only on Twitter.

you got me, though using SDL doesn't seem quite as fair if you use that title :P

nice work though.
I have been writing a compile-eval NES emulator in multiple languages, C++, Rust and such, it was a lot of fun. Still haven't managed to get it working with Rust, I still have hope.
If we're dreaming big here, how about a slider that users can adjust for how much free speech they want to be exposed to? Or perhaps separate toggles for if they want to opt-in to seeing election misinformation, antivax conspiracies, bigotry against various groups, etc.
The emulator receives keyboard input from SDL and generates a framebuffer which it passes back to SDL. SDL is only used to handle the grunt work of reading keyboard input and displaying the framebuffer in a window, which is not the interesting part of writing a NES emulator.

It's also not a necessary part of an emulator -- it's actually easier to write an emulator that reads controller inputs from a TAS movie file and writes its output to a video file. Making it interactive is just more fun.
>I'm stating that the media is doing the same thing to Ye

That's fine, you should probably find something to support that. I haven't seen anything that indicates Ye is offended by being called 'Kayne West'. His official website is www.kaynewest.com. Could you post some examples where it's obvious that they are refusing to call him Ye?

>the only difference is that he's not trans, which you seem to think confers special privileges with regards to correct name use that nobody else has access to

Look, I'm happy to continue this conversation, but you are either failing to grasp basic concepts or pretending you don't. I've never said people shouldn't use his chosen name.

> I am pointing out this contradiction, and you are saying it's not a contradiction at all, because Ye is not trans, and people using his previous name are not intentionally trying to hurt him, but are just lazy or ignorant or whatever excuses you have. you're just talking past me without actually addressing anything I'm saying at this point, so there's no real use in continuing this discussion.

This is really embarrassing for you. I'm sorry for you if you can't read a basic definition, and I'm even more sorry for you if you can't tell the difference between using the wrong on accident and using it to hurt someone. It sounds like you have a lot of growing to do as a person. I agree that there is no point to this discussion.
Not sure if the current fleet talk much. With ubiquitous connectivity, maybe we could have all those vehicles talking to each other to act collectively.
I don’t think that’s a real problem here though.

I couldn’t care less if the Chinese government hosts an install script, if there’s no possibility they could have changed a single byte of the script.

Assuming I have a trusted way of knowing the installer script hash (which is a big assumption), I don’t need authentication for the script download, I only need integrity checks.
I am dealing with a problem with UPS MyChoice at the moment. I signed up with them about 3 years ago, and used a long randomly generated password (as you should), which had several punctuation characters in it. Today I am unable to log into the account because of this - they apparently changed the password complexity rules at some point to only allow a single punctuation character. And they seem to be applying the new rules at login.

Bonus: the password reset process is broken - their customer support doesn't understand that I don't have anywhere to enter the PIN they emailed me since the website errors out. "Just enter your PIN" "Where? I only see the LASSO_1010 error message telling me to call you."

After hanging up on them after 40 minutes of frustration I decided to go create a new account. But can't because there is already an account for that address.

> There is not going to be some scientific report that changes anyone's minds. It's purely political at this point.

Definitely not suggesting a scientific report, more like a hottest year on record with record famine, no meat, record gas prices, and a hailmary that the content algorithms peddle a consistent message that regardless of which generation dug is into this hole, we’re responsible for digging this and the next one out, that it can be done, or else there’s no mankind.

Or maybe mankind will chose to define its future by whoever it makes the richest. “Seems like a dumb experiment”, to quote a certain climate change advocate.
You’re so close, but missing the important thing. You talk about measuring time with the assumption that all reference frames can agree on whether events are simultaneous.

Let’s turn the problem round. The ship is leaving Earth at some high velocity. In Earth’s frame after 60 minutes have passed the ship’s clock reads as 15 minutes having passed. In the ship’s frame of reference when 60 minutes have passed the clock on Earth will have recorded 15 minutes.

Now this sounds impossible because you think we agree on when events are simultaneous, “A’s clock is at X so B’s must be at Y,” but this is only true when A and B are in the same place, if they aren’t in the same place then you can only say, “A’s clock is at X so in A’s reference frame B’s must be at Y.”

Essential you can divide space time into three regions for a point A. The future is the cone of space time that could be reached from A without exceeding the speed of light. The past is the cone of space time from which an object could reach A without exceeding the speed of light. The third region isn’t the future or the past, and for any point B in this region we can find an inertial reference frame where A and B are simultaneous, or where A happens before B, or where B happens before A.

We can only ever globally agree that points in A’s future cone are after A, and points in its past cobe are before A, and these remain true in every inertial reference frame.
Ho boy was Twitter mismanaged up to now. I think that's why he bought it.
This is more vague hand waving. But it did at least lead to an (unfinished) project with a budget.

Eagle mountain is a brown field off river PHES project. Is it fair to say brown field projects are no more expensive than green?

It has 430m of head which is a fairly good site and a grade of about 30% which is excellent (so cost of power is minimized). Most cost grade A sites should be worse than this.

Cost: $2.5bn

Power: 1.3GW

Capacity: 18GWh or 14hr

Cost $138/kWh

Assuming half is the power infrastructure then cost of capacity is about $70/MWh. The long term cost of a hole is about as close to zero as you want, but O&M costs $10 to a few tens of $ per MWh for existing hydro so there is no reason to think O&M would be cheaper than replacing a >5000-8000 cycle cell if it could match up front costs.

Compare to $200/kWh for current commercial iron/iron flow or historic lows of lithium (which should be indicative of an upper bound on sodium ion as the manufacturing is similar). CATL and Natron are claiming around $60-90/kWh is achievable for SIB by 2030, and Form energy (less believable but still probable) are claiming an eventual lower bound for Fe-air of $20-50.

Seems fair to say raw cost per kWh should favour chemical batteries in many areas by 2030 and LCOS should be on par in 2050s. Cost of power already favours batteries and colocation should favour them further by reducing transmission costs and curtailment. Batteries (except for iron-air) are also faster and more flexible which is why they are replacing gas peakers.

Then there are electrolysers which have a high cost per use and per power but vastly lower (effectively free) cost of capacity.

Seems like fairly strong evidence that PHES is a poor fit in most areas unless it's huge or started right now. Can you find a better example (ideally one which is finished)?
I don't believe that it is the best you can do. What you can do is become an active ally, through your time or money, for the people who will suffer by having hate invade their spaces.

I've been in companies where 1/5th of engineer was laid off. The state of company infra and the product dropped significantly and it took a long time to approach recovery, where they hired the same amount of staff back.

I can't imagine how dysfunctional twitter would be with %75 of staff gone, I don't even know if it will continue running as a business after that.
Congrats; you got caught in the filter.

“Debt: The First 5000 Years” is mind boggling and I hold it as high as Sapiens. In some ways it’s actually better when explaining what people actually did instead of our idealized views.
The first part of the document highlights the absurdity of the old way. Is there anything in that long long part of the document you think is unreasonable?

Whatever systemd suggests, the old way looks byzantine as heck & not fun & elaborate, to me.
Try adding magnesium to your diet or with vitamins. Takes about 6 months, but seems to help, even after 25 years of shaking legs. Obviously there are other reasons why we might have an absence of magnesium, but in the between time, that seems to help. Just need patience.
>This is simply your skewed view and not how many people read the joke. She was named as "woman of the year" BECAUSE she was trans,

Fine, and this is "simply your skewed view". Yours is not inherently more right than mine.

>Because that is how Progressives have treated the topic in general (at least publicly, privately not so much.)

You completely skipped my point. Progressives have treated this topic this way because there is no compromise position. What concession can a progressive hope to accomplish debating someone who believes that sex and gender are the same and binary?

>This is not true, it denies how this person views themselves, not their existence; and your existence isn't whatever reality you have chosen for yourself. For example, being gay is something you don't force society to see, you are simply attracted to the same sex. When you change your sex or gender, you are asking for a societal buy-in. That is much different.

Trans people don't need "societal buy-in" any more than any other group. They just want to live their life how they see fit. A trans person choice's don't impact you any more than a gay person's choice. Just leave them all alone and mind your own business.

>Actually, both are very much connected, because the idea that you could not experience what a naturally born biological female could is perceive in the eyes of many as to why you cannot yourself ever be a biological female...when you were born male. These are very integrated topics.

This has no relevance to the issue at hand. They weren't awarding the Cis Woman of the Year Award. They were awarding the Woman of the Year Award. Trans women should be just as eligible for that as cis women. This isn't a weightlifting competition. There is no reason to exclude trans women from this type of award.
I mean, if you were actually curious you could have spent 5 minutes reading Wikipedia or any number of other sources for what people attribute to him. It's not like the information is hard to find. Like, the guy builds one company that literally becomes the most valuable in the world, and another company that builds rockets that a lot of people said were literally impossible and you just write that off as "oh he didn't do anything special, he just had a rich dad". I mean come on, it's hard to believe you're arguing in good faith.
At least one popular front-end for SD embeds loads of detail about the generation process in the generated PNGs, which is a real goldmine for figuring out how certain pictures were generated - to help in learning prompts, parameters, and tweaks.
In my experience, anti-Asian views among black people and anti-black views among Asian people are more common than either among white people.

I think twitter has been a big factor in destroying public discourse. I misguidedly created an account many years ago, and deactivated it two years ago. If you hadn't already deactivated it because of how bad twitter is, what is particularly special about now? Is it just as a protest against the new leadership (which I can understand), or is it because you really think there is going to be something materially worse now about twitter?
Thank you very much, that's also solid advice. I'm curious if there exists a way to create a shroud that goes over the machine that is composed of a lens that filters the light to tolerable levels.
lol. It definitely takes courage to knowingly mismanage $44 billion.
Ok should be fixed now. Appreciate you pointing it out. That whitespace trick is really interesting
Sure, I suppose that's possible. Most of the ones I'm familiar with just download an architecture-compatible binary from a CDN somewhere.

Even if there's a shar-style[1] packed binary in the script, you have no idea what that binary does when you verify that the checksum is correct.
The C compiler I wrote last year:

My original evil plan was to recycle the old one, but I just couldn't.
I think the ship has sailed on the API. It was a different time, and the people that used Twitter's API to do fun things didn't just give up...they migrated to mastodon and discord. I don't think the golden years of twitter are coming back.
Could it be related to the fact that SQLite, while open source, does NOT accept contributions (closed development)?

I didn't expect a "why he's considered a genius" on the wikipedia page but I can check that out. I expected a pretty simple answer. I asked this about Kanye the other day and got a great response explaining how his music was novel.

Business accomplishments are impressive but I don't think they make someone a genius.

Through from what I have heard TikToks handling of ad money (how it goes to the creator) is bad and their handling of copyright is even worse.

On the other hand YouTube shorts can already technically do most things TikTok can, and handles copyright okay (from the pov of the big copyright holders) and has licenses for a lot of music and stuff and created an ad model making it much more interesting for people to create shorts then TikToks and allows using shorts as a way to get someone hooked for longer videos. And there are GeoPolitical reasons why regulators might want to push YouTube over TikTok e.g. by how they create regulations.

So there is a realistic chance that in the next 1 or two years YouTube Shorts will eat up TikTok due to better quality Shorts for the user and better monetization/money making chances for the creators.

Don't see it happening in his lifetime...unless he changes it radically and just bought it for the user base, which honestly is probably closer to the truth.

Even if he fired everyone, and got free hosting, it would take nearly a decade to get that back. But that's obviously not realistic.
OP's question seems to be in the context of computers, not the semantics of the word "data" in the broader anthropological and socio-cultural context.

You can play ostrich all you want, I'm just not sure why you seem to think it makes you look reasonable to stick your head in the sand and ignore everything around you.
Even with 'one every thousand or so' (which feels like a fantastically speculative number) the law of big numbers suggests this does not, in fact, 'answer the Fermi paradox'.

Tunnels don't really solve the problem well - they cost too much for what they do, and don't even do it well. Public transport (specifically expanding trains + e-bikes) is a much better, easier and already available solution.

You might want to reconsider identifying the Jews or any other minority group as a different subspecies. Particularly given your stated complete ignorance.
If you have lots of paperwork, it means you are dealing with lots of different departments so lots more chances of encountering corruption.

In the article, the author needs to chase dozens of different bits of paperwork. Quite a few there were no problem. But quite a few incompetent, corrupt, or both. Now, how about a system where you submit one application in one place, and if other departments need to know or collect fees or approve it is the responsibility of the submission point to pay or collect approvals? One desk is held responsible.
I also don't get this sentiment. It isn't a university course or two. That is ridiculous. Most healthy and in shape people haven't taken any formal courses in the matter. The information is mostly intuitive and the nuances that aren't have been incredibly easy to find for decades.

This narrative is an excuse for a lack of discipline and accountability at best.
I mean most CEOs make ridiculous money, so they succeeded.
I wonder if a human's "refresh rate" has been evolutionary optimized for its environment. Maybe there's no need to evaluate things 30000x faster if our bodies can't react that fast. I guess it would make for faster reaction times, e.g. when driving: driver in front of you hits the brakes, the vision signal enters your brain with the same delay (are optic nerves synapses too?), but I guess the difference is your brain would be able to process the meaning of the change (the red lights coming on, the car getting larger in your vision) a lot faster.

The brain then sends a signal for the foot to react, but the amount of time it will take for the foot to move will be the same as normal since the signal takes the same time to reach the foot. I imagine at 30000x, you would notice that it's taking very very long for the foot to move. To notice it would mean to have feedback from the skin inside your socks/pants that the foot/leg is moving against your sock/pants, and the brain will probably think that feedback is taking forever after it sent the signal.
I know a lot of people think of things like Dall-E and SD as "fake easy art", but creating good prompts it's harder than I initially thought, I'm glad this guides exists.

I don't think these models will replace traditional artist, but they can be a good tool for drafts, and just test the waters between paper and a tangible image.
That's certainly possible. But which of the following would you think is most likely to succeed?

(a) a company trying to build electric cars at a time when there was zero consumer demand for them and the battery technology was nowhere near good enough

(b) a company trying to launch things into space when the vast majority of nations in the world were unable to do so and even NASA seemed like it had lost its way

(c) a popular social media app with 400M users and maybe some issues with product direction
