To add to that, toots sound like farts.

The different connotations for birds and mastodons suggest that the platforms will reach entirely different user groups. If Musk doesn't push video and other technologies then Twitter has already reached its full potential market share. This leaves many opportunities to Mastodon. If the social climate gets colder, mastodons are better equipped than most birds. In a world of gene technology, extinction is only temporary.
Twitter verification was introduced over 13 years ago, a little over 3 years after Twitter was founded.

why would that be sending back data to google without a users action? sure it could. but there is absolutely no need to send anything until that google button is clicked. so it's really just advertising i think. and it's technically no worse than making a selection and getting an entry in the context menu to send that selection to your preferred search engine.

the button as it appears would not be a problem if it would offer to send your github or twitter search to your configured default search engine instead of always to google.

come to think of it, did anyone check if that feature is configurable? most people still have google as the default search engine so it would naturally default to google even if it wasn't actually tied to google.
Yes you can. Just offer a better product, and people will buy it instead of the old or bad product. Better yet, make the new product backwards compatible, and fewer people will have qualms about forking out for it. Better yet, do an aggressive takeover, like Microsoft did, and just force the entire industry to adopt your stuff...
The ISO OSI stratifies communication into layers, with lower layers tasked with the role of encapsulating meaningful human content for delivery across the networks. The protocol itself is unaware of its payload content in most circumstances, and this is why most network hardware has minimal complexity yet remains interoperable.

I assure you every packet of content is encapsulated in several standard responses.

Have a nice day =)
I've seen cool computer vision demos that run client-side in the browser, so I hope they don't stream the feed. OTOH if they do stream, warning the user would go a long way.

They're different... Twitter software engineers get very high pay to do dull work, whereas Tesla engineers get actually impactful work, but very demanding working hours and low pay.

Of the engineers I've met, I'd put the Tesla ones as 'smarter'.

For me it is how one person can suddenly own an entire social network and dictate the rules as he likes or dislikes. Mastodon it self is more open, the server you choose to sign up to might have content policies in place.
Yes, that's an excellent book, along with his book on QFT.

I also can't recommend this course enough, Susskind has done a remarkably good job at making advanced physics concepts accessible: https://theoreticalminimum.com/

Also, "Symmetry and the Standard Model: Mathematics and Particle Physics" by Matthew Robinson does a great job of developing the group theory needed before diving into the physics.

That's a good theory, but I don't think it's what happened here. The ads are gone for me now so I can't verify, but when I did get the ad I checked the network monitor and I'm pretty sure there were no redirects via lookalike domains. Also, I'm pretty sure I copy and pasted the display URL and it was plain ASCII.
Most of us in tech got a 4 year degree in said tech.

How many managers got a 4 year degree in actual management? Answer: none.

>You have to remember that he didn't want to buy the car at all.

Huh? Then how did he end up purchasing it?
> Yet somehow, humans can drive cars with just a pair of optical sensors

A pair of optical sensors and a compute engine vastly superior to anything that we will have in the near future for self-driving cars.

Humans can do fine with driving on just a couple of cameras because we have an excellent mental model (at least when not distracted, tired, drunk, etc.). Cars won't have that solid of a mental model for a long, long time, so sensor superiority is a way to compensate for that.
A driver can be electrically modeled as a series resistor and inductor (very approximate model), I imagine that couldn’t be hard to add in.
I have no experience either. But terminating seems easy, for example this guy is terminating singlemode fiber in just a few minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKDYw0jPskc&t=2m35s He uses DINTEK Singlemode ezi-FIBER Connectors which have a low loss of 0.1-0.2 dB: https://www.dintek.com.tw/index.php/singlemode-ezi-fiber-con... Such a low loss seems to be a non-issue for short fiber runs in a single residence, and cheaper than using a fusion splicer.
Wait... so there are thousands of Windows Domain Controllers just... "on" the Internet!? What are these people thinking?
Find yourself a copy of The Structural Interpretation of Classical Mechanics. The primary author of this textbook on mechanics was the inventor of Scheme. It uses two notations throughout. The first will be very familiar to mathematicians, but with some changes to disambiguate things like derivatives, while the other notation is Scheme.

The Mechanics package for MIT-Scheme adds a whole computer algebra system so that it can compute the derivatives of ordinary Scheme functions, symbolically evaluate them, etc.

related to that, my sense of joy in life comes from my understanding of what the purpose of life itself is, that is to live in order to contribute the advancement of civilization. that can be acts like you mention, but it can also be supporting my family or raising my kids, or contributing to FOSS or even having a meaningful job.
From the first principles point of view, it comes down to radar and ultrasonic having much higher wavelengths than optical. Which results in much lower amount of incoming information, worse resolution and higher interference if many cars radiate the same signals on a busy street.

Remember, uni's are their own isolated cities. They are unelected by the population they make the laws for. They can eject anyone for "not fitting". They can continually harass you with campus mall cops and frequently do. Mask mandates were used as a method to further gain powers, and the precedent put the idea in the heads of admins that they are god. A classical trading freedom for fear taught by any introductory civics.

When my local campus here fails to provide adequate education, there's no statements from them. When they collect tax dollars and waste them, there's no statement. But if people are not masking for even a second the administration is rabid. If someone dare ask "is DEI actually working?" they are forced to apologize.

It's all Politics, look to who's paying them, there's a particular color involved.
I for one enjoy saagarjha’s endless shitposting.
I had a (small) fire in the wall of a house in about 2000. Turned out the rubber insulation had fallen off the wiring, in various places there were just pairs of bare copper wires. An electrician friend helped me rewire, and we layed in cat5 and conduit (between storeys) at the same time. Rewiring a house from the 1840s required pulling up floorboards, but no significant work in the walls.

I'm not sure whether older houses are more maintainable by default, or just once you have rocked over some threshold of continuous occupancy, there there are sufficient layers of repair and rework that you just stop worrying about (for example) sawing through a floorboard. While I didn't have to mess with the walls, if I had, I'd just have torn down the existing plaster and redone it, like you say it's not that big of a deal

I would like to see math and physics presentations always having source-code which would do the calculations. Then the explanation for theory could refer directly to explaining that computer-program. You could understand it all simply by understanding the programming language used. You could debug through it and see how the calculations happen step by step.
It could be done manually by swapping sims between each other and storing the phones in random places throughout the day/night e.g in a service apartment under an apartment block.

Still the way the government acts there this would probably just incriminate others who have nothing to do with their cause.
We live in truly amazing times. In a few years NASA may succeed in sending probes from Mars to Earth and we may get evidence for past or current life on Mars.

In 10 or 15 years if Starship works out we may be able to send scientists to Mars.

I'm a fan of the hypothesis that life on Earth came from Mars - will be very interesting to see how it develops as we study Mars.
The Cactus is an amazing machine. There needs to be more front panel toggle-switched homebrew computers in the world.

Yes but also multitasking is a very notable UX improvement, and virtual memory, its part that gives processes separate address spaces, makes sure that one buggy program won't bring the entire OS down with it. With OSes providing applications with more services (stuff DOS didn't have like a network stack, GUI, abstracted access to all kinds of complex hardware) you start wanting dynamic libraries, which are impossible to implement sanely without some kind of metadata in the executable.

How efficient is the usenet protocol? I would expect that it would require far less resources.

What's the technical reason for not using the usenet protocol for a federated social network?
I can recall it being important in the past.

Used to do a lot of work with the "cheap" Digital Ocean instances, which were 512M RAM at the time (like 2015-2017). You could get more usefulness out of them running 32-bit OS builds.
Yes. And when it comes to having multiple people and teams involved and starting work it may become costly to reverse an otherwise reversible decision.
Every major corporation has multiple research organizations doing nothing but invest in things that don't have immediate shareholder value.

What you're talking about though isn't just coming up with new ideas or even new products. It's replacing hundreds of billions in infrastructure wholesale. The scale at which these changes needs to happen to be practical are at the cluster level in a single data center. If you can propose something that fits that bill there are a few companies willing to pay you millions in salary as an engineering fellow to do it.

Are there articles or reviews that mirror your view on Battlestar Galactica?

I'm not saying or suggesting any such thing as you insinuate and a really basic reading of what I wrote makes that very clear. If and when you are ready to have a grownup conversation, I'll be here. Until then, snarky content-free "zingers" don't interest me in any way. I literally do not care in the slightest and certainly won't dignify it with a response. Nobody else is reading this or being swayed by these comments, so if you don't want to try to have a constructive and polite conversation just move on. I hear twitter is a great place if you want to bait people with that kind of comment though.

The main text surely was typed on a typewriter. Computer printed letters didn't really start happening until 1980 or so. Around then I bought a Diablo 630 daisywheel printer. That would produce beautiful typed pages, but monospaced. The printer paper had sprocket holes which were torn off after printing, but if you ran your finger over the edges you could tell.

Proportional computer fonts weren't printed much until laser printers appeared, which revolutionized everything.
Spacetime is not a physical thing. It is a 4D array of measurements: `[x,y,z;t]`, a collection of frames in a simulation. It's important to simplify calculations, to predict something, but it connected to reality in same way as height field (a 2D array of height measurements) connected to Earth. Height field is just numbers, while Earth is a planet full of rock, water, sand, air, etc. You cannot study geology by studying height fields.
I know zero about twitter,

but I have inspected plenty of organisations where strong engineering teams are drowned by management bullshit. even found places where most of the individuals, engineering and management both, are arguably competent but the overall organisational decreptitude kills any and all effective work, no matter how heroic or skilled the individual and collective effort gets.

Thank you, it now makes a lot of sense. My apologies, I thought this was about reading WireGuard traffic, not about using WireGuard to replace the usual HTTP proxy.
Older tesla model s:

- can't flash the headlights at oncoming cars.

- can't let the passenger in without touching the touchscreen several times (lock door handle, unlock door handle, THEN door presents itself on unlock)

- can't turn on the defrost/defog without using the touchscreen (and that requires attention to locate the control). The new UI that just came out puts these on submenus.

The new model S with the square steering wheel is even more of a dumpster fire. no stalks. Turn signals are buttons on the steering wheel. wipers too. and additional things like PRND on the touchscreen / center console.

Is what a priority? Keeping our blue ticks? Well, the purpose of the blue tick was originally to show that the person was someone of note and not a random anon user or impersonator, and to authenticate that. They had specific criteria to meet.

Journalists from lower income countries, for instance, are still journalists, but they don't usually make enough money to pay $240 per year to justify keeping that badge. You may not think it necessary. That's fine.
I made a few flippant and really vague remarks at my bank and I regretted it later, when I realized they were genuinely trying to KYC and not just be nosy in my personal life.

> All of your posts with that account were about one thing, which happens to be the same thing your company is selling. That's using questions as a promotional device, not asking questions out of intellectual curiosity. This was obvious enough that users emailed to complain about it.

Just because I'm interested in a specific topic does not mean that I'm "not asking questions out of intellectual curiosity". I wanted to start discussions about those topics - and if that's not allowed wouldn't that mean that nobody from Google may ask about search algorithms or nobody from YCombinator mask ask about Startups?
THANK YOU. Reading this thread was getting to me because so many comments say humans drive eyes only.

I use far more than just vision driving:

- sound, for emergency vehicles, detecting vehicles outside of my field of view if my windows are down or the vehicle is loud, tire sound (especially in snow and rain), engine sound (more feedback in snow or ice about what my tires are doing)

- touch (steering feedback, gives information about grip in some circumstances)

- acceleration (can feel if the rear tires break loose in a turn on snow or ice, or if I’m sliding while breaking)

And probably many more
Software -- legacy software, which is always all software currently in use, which is an enormous code base.

It would be easier to have a drop-in replacement for TCP that, whenever it can work, connect() will use it, and which listen()/accept() will work with as well as TCP. Then all apps that can use TCP could use the new transport transparently.

Basically, we need a TCP++ that works with existing APIs but which can also provide new functionality via new APIs.

Of course, backwards-compatibility is very limiting, which sucks.

We can also have new transports that have new APIs, but we need a better TCP for backwards compatibility because legacy is forever.

Also, the focus on RPC is cool because any protocol where you typically have a library doing the I/O -and not too many such libraries- is amenable to using the new thing, and that includes HTTP (which isn't an RPC). But TFA really needs to mention HTTP in the same breath as RPC, because -sadly- way too many readers will just close the tab as soon as they see "RPC" and not "HTTP".

I realize on-prem Oracle pre-dates the newer cloud solutions where the billing is done automatically - but is it true that to audit the use of an on-prem database Oracle had to poke around in the client's systems? How exactly does this work?
I have the opposite problem. Way too much curiosity, someone help me with that.

I think if you have no curiosity, that is ok, but maybe you have something else (love, ambition, power) that you aspire for which requires curiosity to accomplish?
"eliminating the need to encumber our stories with tiresome scientific explanations"

Sigh.
Why not just have a comment? Or structure the code such that the initial failure calling your bind_to_in_addr_any function sets a flag called inaddr_any_already_bound or something and checking that variable calls another function called bind_to_available_interfaces? There is nothing that can be explained in a commit message (which is just text) that can’t be explained in code (which is just text).
This is the iron law of beurocracy at work. It's a much broader problem than just student life and touches many universities. Ultimately the faculty need to stand up and take back their institutions from administrators.

Human binocular vision is what has been used to drive cars up until now, so it can be done (with a few thousand million years of iteration).

Ideally cars will be self-driving using only passive sensors - but I do think that Musk/Tesla completely missed the value of active sensors in training.
I don’t mind touch screen in cars for things that are not critical during driving. Things that you need during driving should be physical controls.

For things like glove box latches and door latches, just simple mechanicals please.

Locating cellphones based on towers is based more on the timing advance and less on raw signal strength.

And I'm not sure what you mean by "blind repeaters"?
If that's the usual cheap dumb cellular repeaters one can find on ebay, than they will just cause noise on the cellbands if not properly installed and thus be actively hunted down by the telco as they degrade service.
All good reasons. But the complexity/ decision on how to behave with certain features could be a compelling reason to stop supporting.

In reality, they have webp which is enough for most of the use cases

Ok I watched the Playlist movie about Spotify and they mentioned they fork TCP IP and made it better, that was a incorrect statement because under the hood everything on the internet still runs TCP/IP they probably just improved their application level or move to UDP
