I know everyone’s trying to jump on the hate bandwagon but this is a stretch.
To me, the problem currently I believe is with the internet and how it creates a new quality to speech.

People can speak up, but it turns out that there's now too much noise and nobody can distinguish the source of the speech, the context of the speech, the trustworthiness of the speech, and the occurrence of the speech (how many people are saying the same thing versus parroting what they were told).

Not only that, but the cost to speak is so low now, that bad actors have a field day, and I include bad faith people looking to just amass political fame, power, following, etc.

Mix that in with our new shortened attention span, and people no longer engage with the speech, instead it becomes like advertisement, if you've seen the same message a lot you'll subconsciously have taken it as a truth. It becomes which opinion have you seen most becomes your opinion, and everyone does this, so the truth becomes a matter of who can parrot their message as often, as loudly and to as many people.

This also means that catchy speech will win over non-catchy speech, because everything is more like a marketing game. Appealing to emotions is attention grabbing, controversy is attention grabbing, so all speech of that form becomes the winning speech in terms of getting viewed and heard.

That's why I think all reasonable people are doomed here, this mechanism of social conversation lends itself automatically to destabilizing opinions winning over stable reasonable but boring and not attention grabbing perspectives.

Before the internet, there were more filtering happening in a layered approach, publications and journalist were there to filter out the noise, the low quality, the unsubstantiated, the agenda driven, and all those.

Speaking up about injustices involved having to physically mobilize yourself to a public square, which takes a lot of effort from the speaker, again allowing a filtering out of bad actors and bad faith individual since the effort demanded had a cost, only people really motivated by great injustice would have the will to go through with protesting.

I don't think it was ideal before either, as publications as a filter had their own bias to what they'd filter out. But at least even what they let through, since there wasn't an abundance of it, the listeners could have a deeper think about it, and didn't believe it to be true just because they keep hearing about it over and over.

Hopefully we can find a way to improve on both. I think we need to put more contextualizing and filters over the internet speech, nothing that removes or bans speech, but allows to manage all the noise.

Algorithms are already in place doing this, except they filter based on corporate profit making, which often involves around engagement and attention grabbing. Again this is extra counterproductive, worse than a simple unfiltered approach with everything chronological.

I'm not sure how best to implement improvements, but I feel strongly it is needed, because even I can no longer make sense of all the noise on the internet, and it feels more and more like I actually can't tell what's real or not anymore, even though I'm in an ocean of information.

I'd agree that this idea seems rather vague but it's becoming increasingly common for social interactions to happen "over-the-wire", e.g. TikTok / Whatsapp / World of Warcraft. I believe that mentions of the "metaverse" are pointing to this trend.

I think the fact that it's so vague ultimately serves Meta when it allows their company initiatives to lack a certain definition (keeping shareholder trust that much higher despite the CEO whom they cannot rein in).

However, the motion controls make that game among the most fun racing games I have ever played. It was great! I still play occasionally.

I'm wondering if HTML/CSS is a good option if you want to leave content for your grandchildren.

Not just text but fully interactive web-pages that load images and videos.

I'm fairly certain there will always be some sort of compatibility mode, but for a general audience, I'm wondering if in 30 years, browsers (or their equivalent) would have moved to something closer to a canvas rendering model or something that makes accessing this data difficult.
Yea I'm aware of that. I wish you guys the best of luck. I tried a lot of this with Micro. I think it's the right direction especially if you can simplify the tooling. The hard part is just the adoption curve but I think you have a lot of funding to find your way through that.

Do you truly see no difference between a lie that leads to someone getting harmed and a truth that leads to the same outcome? Your argument seems disingenuous.

> Following the logic you're laying out, I don't think it's the defense of truth you're advocating for; it's social harmony and stability. Basically the ideals favored in the Chinese model -- which censors true things and false things equally, depending on their social impact.

This is a straw man. The original comment made no such argument. From the comment you're responding to:

> ... I desperately do not want further injury or violence to occur spurned by incorrect speech on the facts of reality.
I think we have to stop thinking "what do we do about these bad individuals". Disinformation is a force that is increasingly shaping what americans think, which is obviously a big deal in a society which has individual choice as its foundation (in government, economy, etc). This force is being used by bad actors from every corner, within the country and without, and has already threatened societal upheaval. It just _can not_ be ignored. It will get worse, not better. Forget trump, putin, musk, whoever the current individuals are, we need an answer to this force.

Now, I am also a believer in your first point. The cure _must not_ be worse than the poison. And I don't know what the right solution is. But we need one because we are not equipped to deal with this. Just a couple days ago a single individual bought one of the biggest speech platforms in the world and proceeded to post a defamatory conspiracy theory from a "fake news" outlet about a political target. The way the world is set up right now I think things can really go sideways. And while I am sure most people here prides themselves on their ability to discern the truth, remember that the electorate is not comprised of hacker news users. Thanks
But they would never make a job listing for the job. They would just reach out to him and ask for an interview. Actually they would reach out and ask to have a discussion about what he wants to do next, and it would be a multi-month effort of convincing him to even apply, including informal meet and greets with the team. There would never be an open req.

Spectrum doesn't offer IPv6 to me, but does offer it to other customers

There's something they have to change to turn on IPv6 for your area, whether it's swapping a CMTS or updating an IPAM database or whatever, and that change costs both time and money so Spectrum is gradually rolling it out across the network. The cost of the migration is so large that it has to be spread over a decade or more so the shareholders don't revolt. It's frustrating but it's not evil (if they truly hated IPv6 they'd just never support it at all).
I've already read this, it's not an appropriate description of the language. Those are available in every language I've ever worked with. What is differentiating about this language? Why is it interesting? What is the design philosophy that makes it worthwhile? Was it the first language to introduce some of these? Does it enable the user to implement things other languages can't as elegantly?

I feel like those shouldn't be very hard questions to answer. I can answer them about every language I've ever worked with, and every language I've developed.

> Would you say that any government official who advocated for the repeal of the 18th Amendment was violating their oath of office to defend the constitution?

Yes. Just because you happen to agree with them is not an excuse. The constitution belongs to the States and is ratified solely by them, not the Federal government.

A federal official advocating for constitutional changes from the position of their office is wrong to do so.

> It seems imperative that government officials

It is imperative that legislators do. Administrative officials are not given power to make law. They are required by the due care cause to follow it. They have no cause offering official opinions on these matters.

> Competitors

> People who have done well at math competitions (USAMO, IMO, PUTNAM), competition programming (ACM, USACO, codejam, topcoder), science fairs (ISEF, STS), or capture the flag (DEFCON, secuinside, GITS). Those competitions don't just select for ability, they also select for quickness. We are in a very competitive space.
> Recruiters are usually paid based on a percentage of the salary. It's actually in the interests of the recruiter that you are paid as much as possible, strictly speaking.

Seems like a recruiter is much more likely to double his compensation by spending half as much time per hire versus paying twice as much, given that salaries are relatively inelastic. Similarly, real estate agents are incentivized to get a pretty good price but mostly optimize for lower effort per sale.

All this does is more thoroughly pollute the well. People should ditch trust in information online and concern themselves more with their primary observations. Obviously that doesn't tell me what's happening in Ukraine, for example. But the mistake is to assume that you could reliably have a good idea of what's happening without primary observation.

Same goes for print media, it just has a much lower throughput. This is the side effect of a lot of trends (internet, globalization, urbanization) that has destroyed local communities. It wasn't that long ago that events on the other side of the world truly had 0 impact on your life.

Something like that would never hold up in court, in fact it might even make the whole firing illegal in the first place. Unless, of course, so NDA's would also prevent the employer from speaking negatively about the employee, but those are extremely rare.
Discussing the definition of specific rights is not the same thing as actively depriving people of those rights. You are equating speech and debate with action.
i wish you well on rolling your own Physics. Its certainly straightfoward to implement formulas for kinematics/dynamics as you suggest, but like the first comment references, timesteps and stability are quite elusive to get manageable for varying amounts of moving objects. While stacking might be an isolated case, i could definitely see the scope expanding beyond initial estimates for 'final tuning'. Bullet does a good job w/ stacked cubes and i'd expect PhysX to be equally proficient.
It’s even got a flux capacitor. Cool concept. Hope one actually gets built.
> Seriously? It's 19 fucking lines of C. Including the fucking curly braces. What would you consider a simple application?

We don't consider programs to be simple or complex based on the number of lines of code used to write them, otherwise the linux kernel is even simpler than your paint program because a single-line grub script calls it.

Hell, I can make an even simpler program than your 19 line paint program, by writing a shell script that calls open-office in 1 line.

You still think number of lines of the calling program matters to determine complexity?

Simplicity (or complexity) is, for most, determined by what functions are available to the user. A program that does 20 different things is more complex than a program that does a single thing, even if those 20 different things are actually done by a library.
Not really. I'm honestly kind of surprised at the preparation some people have put into the expectation they might die soon. All of our accounts are joint and I'm not hiding any assets. I have pretty sizable life insurance policies that will make her a millionaire overnight. If a porn subscription refuses to cancel when she shows a death certificate, I'm guessing she can find a way to cope. I know she can cancel my debit card all the subscriptions charge because I accidentally canceled hers just last week. I don't think I have anything I would call a digital library. Not really much of a data hoarder. I don't rewatch movies much and haven't take photos regularly since 2002 or so, and most of those I never bothered to develop, though I actually still have the film in a shoebox in the closet if she wants to try.
Why is it the federal governments job? Platforms were already removing actual calls to violence and terrorist propaganda in 2014, what happened was that since 2016 a whole new censorship apparatus was created that was substantially broader than anything seen before not due to new regulations (first amendments is still here) but various extrajudicial mechanisms including senate hearings, “friendly” knocks from DHS agents and the whole 9 yards. Daniel Ellsberg today would be Russian misinformation for saying that America had been bombing Cambodia too.

Well, not for long, if I live in NYC and this rule passes.

>It's that easy - if the ad doesn't specify salary and that is a key requirement for you, don't get angry, just don't apply.

If this type of regulation spreads, we can just turn this into a nifty fliparoo counter-argument: It's that easy - if not posting a salary range is a key requirement for you, don't get angry, just don't post. Maybe ask the HR manager to do a quick skills upgrade and program in C# themselves.

The history of Free Speech in the US is pretty interesting. The kinds of things that are acceptable today would get you thrown in prison 100 years ago (for example, handing out anti war pamphlets) and are more akin to the kinds of things Americans look down on other countries for criminalizing.

> If they're not doing that, they're wasting your time and their time.

Actually, they're getting paid for the their time. I'm not. I'm actually burning my time.

> Recruiters should be talking about numbers in the first interview.

I'm going through the recruitment process right now and the numbers out of the gate are always lowball figures (possibly personalized to me), because of two reasons.

Because they want to see if you accept it or not. I'm sure a lot of people coming into the bay area from other cities/countries will be like "wow, 185k, that's awesome" & they'll figure it out that the company was willing to pay upto 350k for the same work.

Secondly, publicly advertising salaries have a big impact on the people who are already in the building. This is pretty much already a problem when you bring in an H1B who has to put their salary into the DoL database and post notices in the offices with their pay. But this is only base pay, not including bonuses or stocks, so it's easy to cap the base pay and fill it up with bonus packages.

So the companies are legitimately balking at this because they'll have to pay their existing employees more if they put out an attractive posting, but if they put a lowball figure nobody would even show up to interview - only people who already make lower than the lowball figure will show up & then try to negotiate upwards.

I'm currently interviewing and this is a weird dance, sort of like buying a car.

I've only got a single response to someone asking "Is this range acceptable" - "I'm looking at multiple offers and being the second best offer is no good for you and I'm not negotiating before an interview or comparing offers. It's your bid, not my ask".

I guess it's a position of privilege to deal from. My need to go to back to work isn't economic, I'll just languish if I don't find a job & become truly feral :)
