I am a scientist and I've setup a mastodon instance on my own server, with remote file hosting on S3. It was pretty painless and in a few days 200 non tech-savvy people have joined and started contributed. Some migrating from twitter, some joining social media for the first time.

It is great.

Mirroring has you copying the other's actions, thus performing the same task. Doubling allows each to work on their own separate tasks, from what I've understood.
In fairness, almost all the instances I know don't show their timeline on their landing page.
Have you ever tried giving away stuff or selling it on Craigslist/Marketplace...?

There really are dolts out there. It's not normal scheduling, it's bizarro requests and just scummy stuff like you arrange to sell something for $40, go meet them somewhere with the item, then they insist they've only got $20 take-it-or-leave-it because they know you already went to the trouble to bring it and meet them and at this point you'd rather just cut your losses. "Dolts" is being generous, really.

Or you're giving something away for free and they want you to travel an hour to them to deliver it... not to mention the constant requests for info about the item that is already answered clearly directly in the listing. Dolts.
Agreed that LinkedList memory footprint and locality are serious issues.

Fundamentally though the problem is that the LinkedList implementation is at odds with the abstraction provided by List -- access by index.

Certainly, straight iteration of every element is better done by a for-each loop (which uses an Iterator under the covers). But the availability of indexed access leads one to use it for a variety of additional circumstances. Consider for example processing every even-numbered element, or finding an element that meets some criterion and then operating on an adjacent element. Iterating over indexes for cases like these is quite natural given the List API. (ListIterator can be used for this sort of stuff, but it's quite cumbersome, and sometimes it doesn't actually help.)
I pretty much agree with this take.

The aleida character is the worst though. She somehow has super powers that no one else posseses, but they never articulate her thought process or how she does it. It's just: entire team of rocket scientists stare at problem fruitlessly. Aleida stares at problem, inspiring music plays, her eyes light up and she tells you the solution. And then she explains simple things like impulse vs momentum to other rocket scientists, as if they didn't understand it before.
A civilization in the desert and that wastes the limited water supply for the profit of the owners at the top should fail. When the last drop runs out maybe people will wake up. That's my view from a distance.
This is not really asked at you, but the whole idea of copilot. How about people just write their own code??
Soda taxes are sin taxes, not Pigovian taxes.

Also, if the reason to tax soda is specifically because it's unhealthy, then it's asinine to not extend that logic consistently.

Our whole system revolves around people buying shit they don't need/want to keep up with the ridiculous pace at which we produce shit we don't need/want.

I think 3/4th of my kitchen is composed of stuff people threw away, and everything is 100% working.

The depressing thing is that the extreme vast majority of people have completely accepted it as the only possibility, as if no other way of life ever existed and will ever exist

I’m from Michigan and I developed the same coping mechanism. The benefits were profound, immediate, and lasted 12-48 hours. I found it to be significantly more beneficial than vitamin D supplements. I could replicate some degree of the benefit from a halogen lamp which supposedly has a coating on the glass that blocks the UV, so it’s probably not just Vitamin D.

I’m sure vitamin D had some role in it though.

But it needs to be an extremely bright light, and broad spectrum. LEDs / fluorescents couldn’t replicate the effects of “facing the sun”, only extremely high wattage halogens.

It kind of worked for me on cloudy days depending on the degree of overcast occlusion but I would drop ANYTHING I was doing whenever the sun was shining enough to create crisp shadows.

This became a ritual of my “personal religion”.
I found that am super productive when travel by air, just sitting and working at the gate or mid flight. Now I wonder if that's the effect of all the people around.
That’s the problem. You can be exactly right about something and without perfect timing you still lose out overall.

Missing out on normie appreciation and getting the big drop can still be losing overall, too.
Do you imagine a real-time database that is only available to bartenders? This would have exciting implications.

I'm no Putin fan, but I do believe he has a point here.
Allowed to tweet things that are objectively against the rules if they politically lean a certain way.

Outsized attention given to harmless shitposting at Hollywood actors while Iranian terrorists are allowed to post propaganda unchecked despite reports.

Selective application of rules against things like "hacked content" used against certain politicians and organizations with certain political leanings but not others (in one case leading to the censorship of a .gov domain even over direct messages).

Verification badges issued to nobody journalists and sometimes for monetary compensation in contravention of their stated policy.

The existence of shadow banning which was lied about in Congress before leaked screenshots of the backend tools showed that multiple kinds of shadow bans exist.

Manual manipulation of the ostensibly algorithmic trending list.

It is hard for me to even imagine a way in which Twitter's moderation could possibly be any less fair or transparent.
Duh - it's going to come down in one place. The odds of "any" one individual being in that exact place is negligible.
On the other hand, where it comes down is under it's flight path, which is a predictable series of points on a line, ordered in time. If you (or your airplane) happen to be in one of those points at the same time, your odds go way way up (for a few minutes). The flight in question was no doubt going to be under the boosters flight path. You know this ahead of time, and you can obviously delay with minimal consequence (minimal compared to an airliner being hit with falling debris, anyway.) In that situation, it'd be negligent to say 'screw it, the odds are in our favor, lets just ignore it.'
You're touching on the Triffin Dilemma [1]. Basically, running a trade deficit is almost inevitable with any global reserve currency. There's not much you can do about that other than ot be a global reserve currency and there's simply no way that's going to happen voluntarily. The US derives too much power from the status of the US dollar.

The other issue you've touched on is a mistake that even economists make, which is to conflate the freedom of trade with the free movement of capital. These are two entirely different things. If you buy something, that's trade. If you sell land, that's the movement of capital. You can and should have policy that honors that distinction.

About the time the TPP was being rejected, I saw this comic [2], which honestly is worth a read as it explains pretty accurately this distinction.

Another angle to this is debt trap diplomacy [3].

I'm not sure what the author is actually up to; he seems to intend to demonstrate that todays AI generated music is still far from being acceptable; I think that's true for most examples I checked, but there are exceptions (e.g. some of the https://openai.com/blog/musenet/ examples are quite good; there also was an online tool called "Bachbot" which war really impressive); even his first example Beatdown (1998) is not bad, though it's a very simple kind of music where a lot of constraints can be applied to improve the result; the "Is this Drum & Bass?" example is quite nice, but the recording and mastering engineers did not do a good job (maybe I can recommend this one as an alternative, all played live by a single person: http://rochus-keller.ch/2022-04/JazzFusion2.mp3 ); so all in all AI generated music has made some progress, but not as much as seen in other AI application domains; but even without AI I wouldn't recommend anyone to become a professional musician today; you can just as easily base your business model on lottery numbers.
I found this to be an odd set of paragraphs:

For would-be constructors without such personal connections, there’s the Crossword Puzzle Collaboration Directory. The Facebook group launched in 2018 with an associated Google form that pairs newcomers with mentors. It has always been explicit about its aims to provide resources to underrepresented groups: “This matching form is intended specifically for [women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ people, and disabled people] as a tool for addressing structural inequities in the crossword industry. Because our mentors’ time is finite, if you’re not a member of any such group, we ask that you refrain from using the form.”

The explicit intentions aren’t enough, though, and in fact at times the group has served the opposite purpose. When professional opera singer Daniel Okulitch, a white man, was inspired to try his hand at crossword construction after he first started regularly solving them during the pandemic, he found his way to the group. In response to a question he posted, Okulitch was contacted by Brad Wilber, a longtime constructor (60 Times puzzles since 2005) and an opera fanatic. A fan of Okulitch’s singing, Wilber offered his services as a mentor. Okulitch has now published three Times puzzles, including two with solo bylines.

On one hand, obviously people should be able to choose on whatever basis they want where to concentrate their volunteer mentoring efforts, and I appreciate the delicacy of their discouraging phrasing. On the other, it seems remarkable that they New Republic would appear to celebrate the restriction of services on the basis of sex and skin color. Can you imagine the reverse, where black women or disabled transexuals are discouraged from applying? Is the article trying to call attention to this tension, or are we expected to take it for granted?

And what's meant by "the explicit intentions aren't enough"? And is the point that Okulitch ("a white man") doesn't qualify under the "LGBTQIA+" heading? Are we supposed to assume that a white male opera singer couldn't be Gay or Bi or Trans or Queer/Questioning or Intersex or Asexual or "+" (anything else)? Or that he is at least one of these, and that's we he was able to participate? Wouldn't it be simpler (and better) to just let people who are excited about crosswords post a message and see if they meet someone interested in mentoring?
> It takes years to refill those aquifers if you begin overusing them.

Thousands of years if not longer in the case of fossil aquifers. In regions where the aquifers are capped by an impermeable layer, rain water does not replenish the ground water at any meaningful speed. In these regions, using ground water is unsustainable no matter how much money you're charging for it or what you're using it for. Some of these aquifers were filled thousands of years ago during climate conditions drastically different from today, and these will never refill under present or foreseeable climate conditions.

Let people farm there using the finite water supply and they'll make a lot of money up front, but that gravy train has to stop eventually. But by the time the water runs out they've made a lot of money, and probably use that money to lobby for wetter regions to hand over their water too.

Tapping fossil aquifers should be illegal. If you can't make due with surface water and/or aquifers that refill regularly from surface water, then you should go somewhere else. Don't farm in deserts.
> (…) the EU just has horrific public outreach

Given the number of communication agencies working with the EU and since the EU had its own communication branches, one has to wonder whether having such a low outreach is by design and why this is.

Personally, I’d rather click a link to MDN docs than most other sources, so if you had some way to expose pass-through attribution from devdocs, that’d be useful at least for me.

It is more relevant when you see all the signs and ads about neighborhoods "doing their part" to help conserve water by not watering plants and taking shorter showers. If those conservations are being used to enrich a microscopic part of population who is shipping all that water overseas it raises questions about who and what we are conserving for.

Depends on what you want to focus on. My point is that there are plenty of roles adjacent to the core of ML that are still needed to make ML function. Think about data storage for models, maintaining CI pipelines for training, UIs for curation and labeling, packaging and deploying models, data version control systems, etc. None of these are tasks data scientists should be concerned about, and viceversa, data science is not something engineers should necessarily be concerned about either. It doesn't make either role superior; they just complement each other well.

> Except the annual release cycle actually started with Mountain Lion, which was 1 year after Lion, and High Sierra was also 1 year after Sierra, but you put them in the "the glory days of OS X stability".

They mean what I said, but I'm certain now that instead, you did this, but let's see if this helps

>>>> Leopard to Mountain Lion were the glory days of OS X stability,

COMMA (NEXT STATEMENT AND NEW THOUGHT)-->

>>>> with Snow Leopard, Mountain Lion, and High Sierra standing out as focusing on bug fixes rather than introducing new features (and new bugs).

> I was talking about how macOS annoyingly advertises new major updates, for example in Software Update, and even permanently badging your System Preferences Dock icon until you upgrade.

I don't think your words said what you meant and/or I made a poor assumption by your use of "pushing" in the context of "updates" or upgrades. Apple did start to push out security patches for supported OS versions, but you meant notices, or nags, of available OS upgrades. These can be avoided by disabling push notifications via the gui[1] or more permanently using the Terminal and launchd to disable push notifications:

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.notificationcenterui.plist

or by completely disabling Software Update

sudo launchctl unload -wF /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.softwareupdate*

or less permanently disable automatic software updates with the defaults command (duplicating the gui method)

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate AutomaticDownload -boolean FALSE

Outdated, but easily modernized for current macOS, and still my favorite list of disabling things.[2] Here is a nice source of defaults commands,[3] though the script is personalized for the author, I've only copied out what I wanted. Here's a similar script to pick through (blindly run scripts at own extreme risk).[4]

Why do you say this? The front lines were almost static and only moved small distances at huge cost, suggesting a defence advantage.
>Where did I mention Elon?

If EU would buy a big share of Titter it gives money to Elon, if from FB you give the money to Mark etc.

You are implying that is pointless me to have a person website because I will not succeed to be more popular the FB or Twitter. The joke is on you I have a personal website and I run a blog and some static pages. EU is not attempting to defeat Twitter,

It makes sense (if your logic circuits work) that you should have a backup communication method because

1 Twitter or FB because they might block you and your then need to fight with AI bots to unblock your stuff

2 there might be users that do not use Twitter or FB

3 Twitter and FB might not respect user privacy so it is imporal to publish only on those
Just a nitpick -

it comprises companies...
This is kinda what I was hoping for as well. It seems like technique is very important. But having additional strength/endurance is super helpful.

I’ve never been interested in training my muscles just to have good looking muscles. But I would definitely do the work if it means I can finally finish that route that has been just out of reach.
Crime on trains and in and around train stations is well documented. It doesn't add up to a reason not to have transportation. Criminals can use cars too.

Those who don't want criminals from poor areas coming into their neighborhoods should oppose all means of entry: close the highways too, and put up a gated wall.
Agreed, Siri is already a little too sensitive. I was raking leaves the other day and Siri muted my music temporarily because the swish swish sound of the leaves somehow activated her!

It’s little appreciated how aviation is a technological backwater. Even in military aviation there was a choice between the F-22 with a cutting edge airframe and mediocre avionics and the F-35 with a mediocre airframe and cutting edge avionics.

There are a few spots of competition such as wide body aircraft but narrow bodies are a race between a 1968 and 1982 design. The #1 thing that every unit at my university says is holding them back is the local airport, which sucks because they are flying 1990 jets. Jet makers would like to make regional jets that are much more economical and a little bigger, they’d have no trouble filling them because lower costs would lead to a ‘southwest effect’ that would increase demand. Pilot unions won’t let US airlines buy them because of ‘scope clauses’.
I am like that too. I discovered one reason for this was that I was super hydrated - drinking up all my water before going through security had a noticeable effect on my ability to concentrate.
The objective truth is that states are founded on violence — both punishment for crimes and warfare — so every politician spends their entire career inciting violence. "Either you're with us or you're with the terrorists" is inciting violence against whatever country refuses to fall in line. "Three strikes and you're out" is inciting violence against junkies, hundreds of thousands of whom are imprisoned in the US today as a result.

The press in the US had unmoderated free speech for over a century until the FCC was established, and print publishing still does. That's why the New York Times bought the first Gatling guns: they were inciting violence (specifically, the Civil War) and justifiably feared that rioters would try to lynch them. Though you're probably too young to remember it, Usenet had unmoderated free speech for about 25 years. Freenet still does.

It's not a bullshit idea. Just an unpopular one.
Apparently the name Siri comes from the Norwegian roots that the guy behind the company that made the technology has.

This is a quite common Norwegian name amongst girls. I can imagine this would cause a lot of funny and frustrating situations in Norway.
Assuming that any particular worker is competent until proven otherwise is fair. Assuming that all workers are competent is just naive. You may as well assume there are no bike thieves in NYC.
