Linkers and loaders excite this weird part of my brain. I've had this idea in the back of my head for a while now to make some sort of scripting framework that lets you dynamically load natively compiled modules together. Sort of like the LD_PRELOAD trick on steroids: dynamically loading code based on the command line arguments, environment variables, and configuration files. And then you don't have to do any of the command line parsing or initialization stuff in native code, but rather in a flexible scripting language. I guess it would be sort of like trying to implement Spring for C code, as evil as that sounds. I don't think such a system would be actually that useful, but I would find it pretty neat to play with.
In some of those cases, they lost due to unpunished securities fraud though? Tesla should be a fraction of it's valuation. Short selling is an important part of price discovery and attempts to curtail it should be punished IMO.

IMHO, the world would be a better place of people who're qualified in a particular subject would opine in their area of expertise.

Nowadays, we have every Tom, Dick and Harry commenting on anything and everything, regardless of how informed, educated or even experienced in the area they want to criticize.
Is there some historical evidence of this?
Hell indeed. A problem space with intractable non technical challenges. The saddest part for me is the distraction from the potential of his other businesses, most specifically SpaceX. I just want to see Starship succeed.
A lot of this is just currier CYA for disputes. DHL (and others) don't really care who collects the package, so long as whoever authorized the shipment is happy with the result of the delivery.
Indeed. An entertaining idea in the abstract, perhaps, but this is just weak sensationalism and poor execution. I don't see anything substantive that explains how something failed. Instead of taking the right attitude of discovering where something ostensibly went wrong, it seems to relish in dismissive ridicule in the style of FailArmy.
It's a signal you need to pay a bribe, sorry. That's the only way to get something done.
Yes, but that doesn't stop it from sucking. Also, they can do it with streaming media, but they can't come to my house and replace my DVDs. Just because it's technically correct, doesn't mean that it's not a bullshit model which is anti-consumer and anti-creativity.
They selected Rachel Levine as their pick for "Man of the Year", although she is a transgender woman. Babylon Bee says that she is a man, and the truth cannot be hate speech.

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

Honestly I would agree with Babylon Bee if it would be just for satire, like giving a funny award to a transgender woman, I get it, but they are not in it for the jokes, they are in it for the truth as they say, and you can't have it both ways. Christians telling intolerant jokes is joke in itself, but the problem is that they take their jokes seriously.
a lot of people care. but at this point we're only speculating and this has been done previously in the numerous bouts of this purchase. I believe that is why there is no real banger post on HN rn.
I feel like I missed something with the book. I read it about ten years ago and absolutely loved the travelogue part. His writing on travelling by motorcycle is excellent and I wanted more of it. The back half of the book where he really goes off on the metaphysics of quality didn't resonate at all with me.
Some additional info linked in the Twitter thread: https://www.printweek.com/features/article/colour-confusion
The problem I had is that the space I created in the beginning was quite nice, and we had lots of nice people in it. But as word spread that people wouldn't get banned we started getting a lot of "undesirable" people, people that had been banned from every other place (and for good reason). In the end, it drove everyone else away and the channel died because once everyone was gone there was no reason for these undesirable people to stick either.

In many ways, these people don't really care about having a space to say things and instead they want a space to be able to say it to people who don't want to hear it. It is why they don't actually use the spaces they've created for themselves like parlor or truth social. They want to tell trans people that they are not valid, they want to tell women to stop having abortions, they want to tell black people that they're criminals, etc. They need an audience. And if you allow them to have it, what ends up happening is that these people being insulted and belittled will leave.
They should add themselves to the catalogue.
Huh, that's surprising. I looked it up and indeed you're correct. Well, oof. Though to be fair I don't now how much of an impediment that is for actually implementing very wide decoders in practice. Hopefully not too bad.
> The lawyers aren't the ones deciding what the laws are.

Lol. As you say, the wealthy decide the laws, and the lawyers write them. The vast majority of lawyers work for whoever pays them the most.

In today's world, in today's system, that's generally whoever can fuck over the most people, or extract the most from nature while externalizing the cost, and get away with it. Almost by definition, the wealthiest are the literal worst. Public defenders get paid beans, and are overworked with no respect, while fossil fuel and banker's lawyers live in mansions with a fraction of the effort.

Damn near every aspect of our society and the world we live in has been tainted by this.

Environmental groups don't have the funds that Exxon do, and the response to oil spills and climate change reflects this. Look at Donziger. Look at Deepwater Horizon.

Peace groups don't have the funds Raytheon do, and the response to people like Assange and Snowden reflects that.

Poor people and groups who advocate for them don't have the funds available that the .01% do. Our tax code and social supports reflect this fact in ten thousand ways, each grotesque.

And in all of this, the lawyers are culpable. They work to attack the peaceniks, the whistleblowers, the tax reformists, the journalists seeking accountability. They sue for libel, they make shit up and make it stick, they find the obscure laws and loopholes, they stack the court, stack the deck, all for a tiny portion of the wealth 'saved' for the yacht class.

Lawyers enable a rather unimaginable amount of evil by doing these things. I don't understand how the fact they're told to do this by the evil corporations paying them obscene amounts to enable their evil acts absolves them of anything - can you explain it to me?

The author says the outbox pattern should "always" be used.

I agree with the goal -- one should definitely never publish an event externally before it is committed to DB! But I think using a "post-commit sequence number" is even more powerful than the outbox pattern.

Sadly few DBs seems to supoort this well with low latency. CosmosDB has great support for a post commit low latency change feed

I agree; which is astonishing, given how bad it was before. I wish there were some way I could actually tell it what I'm interested in watching; but no, I have to let it infer my preferences using it's "algorithms".

Even searching fails, even if I type in the full name of the documentary I want to watch. You really have to bend over backwards to make a literal search for the title of a show give you a completely different show, with a completely different title.

This article makes no sense; it sounds like leftist propaganda.

Advertisers only care about 'brand safety' to the extent that it impacts their ability to sell stuff.

So long as users keep using the platform, advertisers will keep coming back - They're not going to vacate the platform and let their competitors get all the eyeballs... If they did, those competitors would gain market share and make incumbents irrelevant.

Users have made it clear that they want free speech on social media platforms so I don't see how giving users what they want would cause them to leave.

The problem with Twitter so far is that they sold out to big governments and big corporations and completely neglected their users in the process. Having front-row access to users, Twitter is actually in a position to dictate the rules; it should not be taking orders from politicians and corporate executives when those orders are harmful to its users.

Given the fixes here for the boot up sequence, I'd imagine that it'll happen when OpenWRT starts it's upgrades to the kernel for the next major release. I believe 6.1 is supposed to be the next LTS series which means that OpenWRT and other distros will pick it up as their next major kernel version to support. Even if they don't pick it, these patches sound like excellent candidates for back porting since they fix some key issues for some boards and look to be fairly isolated and so less likely to cause other bugs.
1. I would make all brands pay $100/year. By brands, I mean anyone that is a verified company and has a bluecheck.

2. If your profile posts at least 10 links a month, and you arent paying $100/year, I will charge you $5/year. This also helps to reduce the spam/noise on Twitter.

3. Any tweets with more than 2 hashtags will have their visibility reduced to almost nothing.

4. I will bring back Vine.
Why is this flagged? It's a report from the US Senate.

It reports a significant finding:

> Based on the analysis of the publicly available information, it appears reasonable to conclude that the COVID-19 pandemic was, more likely than not, the result of a research-related incident.

Look at all of the cautionary language in this statement. This isn't a group of Republicans fear mongering. It's a group trying to make sense of the information that currently exists.

Knowing the origin of the pandemic is the only way we can hope to prevent the next one. This topic is not a political issue, it's a scientific and humanitarian one.
Every IM I send has an immense emotional toll for some reason. Everyone is overworked and you’re another distraction, you feel like a giant asshole and then project that they’re a giant asshole too until you enter the emotional doom spiral.

Forgive me for the incomplete reply, but I looked this up last week and one molecule of fatty acid (in this case DHA soecifically) generates 136 molecules of ATP. This makes fat roughly 2x as energetic (from the standpoint of our bodies' metabolism) as the heat measured from burning it (calories) would suggest. Despite this fact, and the fact that I've been eating roughly 3500 calories per day without exercising, switching to a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet has lead me to lose 10 lbs over the past three weeks. Clearly there's a lot more to metabolism than is even documented in this lengthy article.

That would be horrible. So now my camera would need a constant stream of security patch updates (which the manufacturer will stop supplying). And surely use a lot more battery.

What I love about Nikon DSLRs is the firmware is just for taking photos, hyper-optimized for that. There's no baggage. And it will keep working forever.
Maybe. From the multitude of FCPA training I’ve had to endure, you can pay to have processing expedited if there is an official policy for it. You cannot pay $1K to the head of the office because he hints that it will speed things up.

Technically, you’re not even protected if you hire a local agent to do all of this for you.

Perhaps Elon has heard of K-Means Clustering, and you haven't...

"Solving" content moderation is a losing battle -- there is no way to humanly moderate anything at the rate it can be produced, and Elon knows this. It's insane, so he probably won't do it.

But, allowing content to be produced, but making sure no real person ever sees it, until the content producer earns their way into "your" group -- now that can be automated.

Elon has access to Exascale hardware, so K-means Clusters with arbitrarily large dimensionality is at his disposal.

Ya figure he might not have thought this through?
Apparently some people think public schools are not a government institution?

Unless you are willing to pay bribes and have the right contacts. Business in India is impossible.
But there are Pantone colors in the spec, and by "the spec" I mean "every spec." The logo for the company you work for is probably defined as a specific Pantone spot. And if I have to pay separately for Pantone in Photoshop, there's no reason for me not to move to another tool other than if Pantone intentionally refused to sell spot support to me on another piece of software.

Which leads me to think that they (Adobe, not Pantone) endlessly tested and researched the maximum they could add to the price if they blamed it on Pantone (who are happy to take the blame because they're so entrenched that it won't affect their business in the slightest.) They did it, and Pantone and Adobe are going to split the proceeds. Or, rather, you're going to "subscribe to a Pantone license" and "subscribe to a Adobe plugin for Pantone management" as a pretense.
Nah VR solves his browser problems. Sony Rootkit style access to the user's system, with VR drivers/launcher, Access to biometric data like eye/mouth tracking (users making their own), whatever you can fit on a fitness watch (advertising with heart rate and blood pressure biometrics), and of course camera access to the user's room.

Likewise I imagine it's soul draining to Zuck being told no by Apple. So they're probably obsessed with making their own walled garden.

There are developers who have no choice but to work alone, but they socialize and collaborate otherwise. No matter what they do, a person talking over them is enough to make it impossible to focus on the task at hand, to think, even.
I don't know anything about philosophy, however, the book permeates my thinking while writing software. Here are two examples. Every time ask myself where does this go or I have to decide on a folder structure, file, variable, class, or function name, I think of Pirsig's analytical knife. One day after forgetting a script running on a server out in the cloud which was scraping changing price data for a couple years, I logged into the server with an terminal to look at it's health. Everything was running perfect. I thought that must have been what Pirsig meant by Quality.
The original PBR paper cites a materials database made by one of those big Japanese companies many years ago (I think it was Mitsubishi?)

EDIT: found it! It’s called MERL (https://merl.com/brdf)

Modern PBR specifically doesn’t really rely on artists choosing a BRDF though. The idea is to pick one that’s accurate, and expose a handful of variables to control it (roughness and metalness mostly)
I have often been frustrated that my attempts to communicate clearly have failed, but I choose to believe that it’s my fault as a writer, not their fault as a reader.

> His engineering has team figured out content moderation

Depending on how you define content moderation this is literally not possible, 1. Because content moderation is adversarial and has to adapt and 2. Content moderation is subjective, as the original article says content moderation is the product that companies sell, and it will likely have to change as time goes on (I’m not just talking “what’s popular/offensive” but like do you allow videos, how long are the videos, do videos get prioritized above text or audio, 280 character vs 144 character tweets, editing tweets, dislike button, etc.

The key quote which other comments are overlooking:

> Here are some examples: you can write as many polite letters to advertisers as you want, but you cannot reasonably expect to collect any meaningful advertising revenue if you do not promise those advertisers “brand safety.” That means you have to ban racism, sexism, transphobia, and all kinds of other speech that is totally legal in the United States but reveals people to be total assholes. So you can make all the promises about “free speech” you want, but the dull reality is that you still have to ban a bunch of legal speech if you want to make money. And when you start doing that, your creepy new right-wing fanboys are going to viciously turn on you, just like they turn on every other social network that realizes the same essential truth.

The one thing that can be counted on Elon doing is Elon doing what makes him the most money.

Wonderful news. I live in a European city, so i dont have a need to own a car, but i use my bicyle to get around town (all year). The city i live in has great air quality, and i generally avoid big car streets, but as soon as i get close to a larger road, or i get passed by a car (often hurrying to get to a red light further down the road) you really start to feel the exhaust. Inhaling and tasting car exhausts is terrible, and i think many car drivers dont think about this, as they are protected in their air conditioned box.
We can "sign" something by entering our name into a text box on a web form. That's the easiest to reproduce. This works because the contract is between the other party (requestor) and the named person. Entry by any other party not authorized by the signer will render the contract null and void.

The signature answers the question of, "Does X agree to these terms or not?" and not, "Is X who they say they are?"
That was a figure of speech.

This is not an honest take on ‘ease of doing business in india’. What the author is trying to do is re-purpose his agricultural land for non agricultural use. For various socio-political reasons this is big no-no in many states in India and is known to be a very long winding and drawn out process because the govt does not want agricultural land to be re-purposed. I expected something along the lines of ‘I tried to setup a unit on land that I already have which allows this’. Note that agricultural land goes for a pittance compared to non na one. Author probably tried to pull a fast one onthe govt.
