It was probably a bad idea to put such examples on twitter, since twitter recompression is quite aggressive and makes a big difference.

I don't have the original decoded images nearby but it is best to do these kinds of comparisons without any recompression.
>Are those avenues insufficient in your view?

we demand reasonable levels of due diligence from owners of private businesses when criminal activity is concerned. If you run a business that sells stolen goods, someone runs a drug ring out of your restaurant or you serve alcohol to minors you have a big problem.

This is so because law enforcement can only ever act after the fact and would of course be completely overburdened if every private actor was willfully ignorant of what goes on in their establishments. Not to mention that this is also to our benefit because without that level of civic involvement as a first line of defense the logical conclusion is a police/legal state involved in every transaction. Which is literally what you see in countries with weak civil societies but big tech firms. if neither the people nor business owners take responsibility, who is left?
Classism is a two-way street. Or more like a pyramid where everyone's very protective of their level.
> creating threads is not possible because the logging system makes heavy use of setjmp().

Naive question from a non-c user, setjmp/longjmp just manipulate the stack and since each thread has its own execution stack, that should be completely safe ISTM - so why is it unsafe/impossible? I'm missing something.
SPyQL is really cool and its design is very smart, with it being able to leverage normal Python functions!

As far as similar tools go, if you're interested, I recommend taking a look at DataFusion[0], dsq[1], and OctoSQL[2].

DataFusion is a very (very very) fast command-line SQL engine but with limited support for data formats.

dsq is based on SQLite which means it has to load data into SQLite first, but then gives you the whole breath of SQLite, it also supports many data formats, but is slower at the same time.

OctoSQL is faster, extensible through plugins, and supports incremental query execution, so you can i.e. calculate and display a running group by + count while tailing a log file. It also supports normal databases, not just file formats, so you can i.e. join with a Postgres table.

Yup, as per my other comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=33448802), fbprophet is largely tuned for a few years of somewhat regular business data sampled daily (e.g. sales per day). Outside its comfort zone (e.g. if you have monthly, or hourly/minutely data, or step changes / level shifts) it can fall apart pretty quickly. But its comfort zone happens to be very popular in business settings.

To be fair, it's pretty hard to create generic models that are can robustly handle any random time series.
I think something that really bothers me about this discussion about moderation is how many people approach this debate like a new born baby. They have an idea and then speculate on how it fixes everything. There's never any discussion of what exists in the real world. ACX here is essentially describing some key attributes of reddit. Each sub-reddit has it's own moderation team that decides what's acceptable and then you opt-in. This is pretty close to what ACX is proposing.

So let's look at what happened in reality. Almost immediately sub-reddits pop up that are at the very least attempting to skirt the law, and often directly breaching the law- popular topics on reddit included creative interpretations of the age of consent for example, or indeed the requirement for consent at all. Oh and because anyone can create one these communities, the site turns into whack-a-mole.

The second thing that happened was communities popped up pretty much for the sole purpose of harassing's other communities. But enabling this sort of market place of moderation, you are providing a mechanism for a group of people to organize a way to attack your own platform. So now you have to step back in and we're back to censorship.

I also think that this article completely mischaracterizes what the free speech side of the debate want.
"Censorship is the abnormal activity ensuring that people in power approve of the information on your platform, regardless of what your customers want. If the sender wants to send a message and the receiver wants to receive it, but some third party bans the exchange of information, that’s censorship."

Meh. It's full of loaded terms. "Abnormal": if you engage in it regularly, then it's normal, not abnormal. "People in power": you mean like moderators?

Moderation is a form of censorship. Is moderation good? Well, it's a question of degree. Some moderators become gatekeeping Nazis, just as some posters become raving lunatics. So it's a question of finding a BALANCE between freedom of expression and letting the clowns run amok.

For both Java and .NET, there were actual verification bugs, as well - when bytecode that's not supposed to be valid gets past the verifier and results in e.g. mistyped references (which can then be used for all kinds of creative vtable abuse). Sometimes it can even be a bug in the VM spec itself, because implications of two different features interacting weren't fully considered.

But, yes, we've tried this idea many times now, and it never held up for long.

> she was fair game being from a privileged background

That's the thing - she was playing the class game wrong, if she was in a setting full of people from a different background. She was not in the right job for her class. Classism works both ways; it's still classism.

> Having an accent from a different region can be a disadvantage just because

That's the natural state of thing everywhere, if anything it's less pronounced in Britain because actual language differences are minor (compared to, say, continental Europe). This is not what people are anxious about; they are anxious about revealing they hail from a region that is outside the South-East, and hence is considered poor - with all that it entails. Not a biggie in a country where bootstrapping is lauded, but a serious problem in a classist society.

Btw, I'm not British, but I've lived on these cursed islands for enough decades to experience "the system" in all its gory details.

And yet, for years I’ve decided to make personal gifts or draw cards. Instead of earning money like everybody else I practiced arts and crafts and now I can draw, paint, sculpt, and do some other stuff that makes people smile.

Buying something is transactional, but making something takes effort. My $1.30 cents of clay to make each knock-off baby Yoda figure one year was a huge hit compared to the $300-400 for some other themed item on Etsy.

Gifts from an employer are kind of blah to me as well. You’re spending money you could have given me but think you know better, because it’s tax deductible.

I would say that a key difference between both OSes is the degree of compatibility with existing applications. Unikraft offers binary-compatibility with Linux apps written in arbitrary languages without the need for rebuilding, while RustyHermit is limited to Rust and C apps, and requires recompiling the app against the library OS code.

Another important difference is that Unikraft's kernel is written in C while RustyHermit's is in Rust (although if you want it to run C apps, RustyHermit needs to include a big chunk of C code that is the newlib standard library).
Yeah but what is the debugging experience like? Does that work? I think it adds a layer of complication. Also images can take a while to build. Although most would be cached hopefully with just copying your code changing. Maybe a snappy startup can fix?

Ish. But there are two significant flaws for ecommerce:

1. Knowing that the company using the certificate is who they say they are, doesn't necessarily mean you can trust them not to be fraudulent traders.

2. Control of the domain names and associated certificates can change hands after the fact, officially through buyouts/merges or via more nefarious means, just like any other certificate.

and of course the other key question to address which is:

3. How do you trust those validating the certificate. The average user is not going to know/care that a rogue CA exists and it might take some time for their actions to be noticed and for appropriate revocations to happen.

However they were intended to be used, HTTPS and certificates for it are used to protect data in transit and not really for identity assurance.

There is also the more cynical view that the main thing EV certs addressed was the desire for CAs to bring in some revenue, especially as standard certs became more and more a commodity item (now effectively free) with low or zero margins.

Then pick a different medium. A single tabloid doesn't tarnish every single news industry. Rude mailing lists don't invalidate private email conversations. Also, conference calls are a thing.

Anyway, analogies are imperfect, please look in the direction where I am gesturing, not at my exact words.

The point here (and of the entire conversation) is that you shouldn't judge a medium by its worst imaginable actors as long as you're given the right tools that allow you to use that medium undisturbed, effectively putting them into a different silo.
Today twitter allows a very crude, imperfect approximation of this by following people that post decent content and setting the homepage to "latest posts" instead of "top tweets". Ideally we'd have better tools than that.

I find it problematic when the prerogative to speak entails a necessary monetary cost to be paid by someone else for amplification and discovery, and that money is private money. Engineers aren’t plentiful or cheap.

can confirm 2 and 3 in my area
1) you'd be surprised at how many things are illegal to say somewhere. Sure, malaysia can mame its own twitter, and so can india, and the EU, and russia, and china, and japan, and soon you only have a costumer base in the united states.

2) okay. Do that. Make a platform that stops at 3). Get sued despite fair use (you have a case, but do you have sony money to defend it in court? If you fail, you are now responsible for the legal precedent that memes aren't fair use). Allow people to say the n-word and see how quickly you'll get dropped by advertisers who think having an ad next to a tweet asking for racial genocide is maybe not exactly good brand image.

3) spam is a considerable part of user experience. If every second tweet on your timeline is spam, users aren't going to block and move on, they're going to stop using twitter. Your antispam is not flawless.

It's hard because "block things that are illegal by law and leave the rest" is unfathomably hard to follow for a human, let alone an automated system.

> The point of money is to be spent, not to hold it.

Why? Why prioritize spending now rather than later? If I can't defer consumption, I will always need to work, and I can't retire. That would be financial oppression.

> You can't have an asset that's both good to hold over the short and long term.

I am abnormally curious why this is the case.

> That's because the point of an economic system is to trick other people into making food for you

I'd rather they make food for me when I'm old, instead of when I'm young and I can make it for myself. How is this an argument against saving?

> holding money instead of trading it obviously isn't going to lead to that.

While it's true that if everyone saved in the short term, we'd see persistent recessions, it's bound to end, as people start to want to spend their earned money.

In "Die with Zero", an argument is made to allocate and spend everything you've made, because this life is all you've got to do so. I agree with this book.

Even in extreme deflation, people buy things they need. For example, technology prices have been in exponential free fall for decades, yet today the world's largest companies have a lot to do with selling computers, phones, and/or software.

The only reason for government currency inflation is balancing the (wasteful) budget, after the government spends beyond its means. This allows soft-defaults (government paying bond coupons in a diminishing currency) instead of hard-defaults (government failing to pay bond coupons). But both kinds of defaults should be seen as bad, by investors.

To get an idea of the scale of the misallocation, compare the tax revenue to GDP with government spending to GDP. The US government pays for 44% of the yearly domestic product, while only taxing 9.9%. This amounts to a LARGE benefit to those printing money and spending it before price inflation hits.

We don't all have the same experience of life, so I preface this by saying that this is just my experience.

UK life can be somewhat tribal, like anywhere, but I don't recognise your framing of the UK as "deeply classist" nor do I think any classism is as one way as you paint. I grew up lower middle class/working class in very working class areas (council estates, ex-mining villages/towns, that sort of thing). Two of the worst things you could be in those areas was "posh" or from outside the area. So called inverse snobbery was a big thing. If anything, though, not being local was a bigger cause for feeling like an outsider.
People seem to be worried about the total amount of debt.

At most they compare debt to GDP. You almost never hear these panic pieces talk about debt vs equity.

Btw, if people are worried about debt, the first thing we should do is put equity financing on the same footing as debt financing.

As it stands, companies largely service their debt with pre-tax money but pay for their cost of equity with post-tax money.
Flight to quality is the industry term. I was working Wall Street 2008 in the crash in bonds and the phones were ringing off the hook for tax exempt TX munis.

Precisely.

...and just like in a government censorship context, ambiguity and fear do a lot of the work. Rules are not clearly defined or consistently enforced. You don't necessarily even know that you are being disciplined. It's best to just stay far away from controversial material entirely.

On youtube, it's had the curious side-effect of specialization.

It's not worth occasionally discussing political content, social issues or controversial content. A youtuber risks harming their income/success by taking a wrong step. Meanwhile, you kind of need to be specialized in order to know where the lines are.

For example, the Ukraine/war content youtube allows, bans or demonetizes currently is not the same as it was 3 or 8 months ago. The rules aren't written, and you need to be immersed and current to even guess what they are.

Same for sexual violence, Trump or any other highly contested moderation issue. You really need to be a specialist to (a) stay within moderation lines and (b) be worth the risk.

I sincerely doubt that this is a purely UK based phenomenon. The example that comes to mind is the stereotypical "black man with white accent" from US sitcoms. I don't know how that works in the real world, but I'd feel fairly confident in placing a bet that there aren't many white collar CEOs who sound like they're from the hood.

> I don't think the UK is relentlessly classist and accents work both ways because having an accent that is too posh in Britain is also a disadvantage

It's well documented that fee-paying private schools (so called 'public' schools) contribute disproportionally to UK politics [0]. Eton alone [1] has produced 20 prime ministers (including Johnson and Cameron). These schools require wealthy parents, and thus tend to exclude the poorer paid.

Although you are much more likely to hear regional accents in British media than you used to, social mobility is more constrained now than it has been in living memory. Actors are another group of people where parental wealth correlates to access to drama schools.

Did you compile fjxl with or without SIMD? That makes a big difference.

And yes, fpnge is slightly faster than fjxl but also compresses significantly worse. It is likely that you could make an even faster but slightly worse version of fjxl that would beat fpnge. But I think the speed of fjxl is already good enough in practice.

The problem with PNG extensions for multi-threading is that it only works if you control the encode side too — most existing encoders will not use such an extension. If existing deployments need to be replaced anyway, you can just as well use a new format altogether.
