That's part of the confusing thing. Musk basically says the app has too many requests and needs to be rewritten. Then the employee publicly calls out Musk for being completely wrong. And when pressed says... the app has too many requests needs to be completely rewritten.

Musk was trying to write this dude a blank check for what he wanted and he jumped in front of a bullet instead just because he and Musk have a different definition of an "RPC".
I got one of the midi sized systems, not a laptop. No complaints, the cable management is good. The parts are grand, the delivery was quick.
I found it through a youtube channel called "the linux experience" - I think he is German. He does a review on their laptops, maybe that will be more usefull for you.
He sure does seem to be overly optimistic/confident when it comes to certain goals and timelines. However, I'm not sure if I've read anything he's said(about Twitter) that seemed 100% false. Would you mind explaining to me what gave you that impression?

It "performs well" in the sense that I as a human enjoy it smoothly, but it does make my modern laptop's fan spin up quite loudly; and I don't know (I could be wrong!) that it renders graphics that is effectively fundamentally more complex than the ones I enjoyed on Amiga 500 and x286?

This is not in any way to reduce its awesomeness; I just lost 15 minutes I don't have scrolling around and will return to it this weekend! But I wouldn't say it had great performance.

edit: Unless you meant "Stellar Performance" in the artistic sense, i.e. "The figure skater put up a great performance today", in which case wholeheartedly agree :-)
> which isn’t very valuable knowledge

Of course it's valuable. Our air defenses were, if not evaded, pierced. Biden's "fully prepared" and "every single inch" warning was challenged. That, in turn, lays groundwork for intimidating e.g. the Baltics.
The "new-fangled" AI, as the article calls it, is often useful when the stakes are low, and you can accept mistakes in outcomes. Examples of such applications are: trying to determine which of your friends occur in a photo, which movies a subscriber may be interested in, or which action could lead to victory in a computer game. Getting a rough translation of a newspaper entry, as mentioned in the article, is also a good example.

As soon as you need reliable outcomes, such as certainty whether an erroneous state can arise in a program, whether a proof for a mathematical conjecture exists, or whether a counterexample exists, exhaustive search is often necessary.

The question then soon becomes: How can we best delegate this search to a computer, in such a way that we can focus on a clear description of the relations that hold between the concepts we are reasoning about? Which symbolic languages let us best describe the situation so that we can reliably reason about it? How can we be certain that the computed result is itself correct?

The article states: "The heart of GOFAI is searching – of trees and, more generally, graphs." I think one could with the same conviction state: "The heart of GOFAI is reasoning – about relations and, more generally, programs."
Passenger vehicles account for about 16% of greenhouse gas emissions. Electric power is another 25%. The rest is industry, commercial & residential, agriculture, and other forms of transportation. It is these areas of the economy which will need hydrogen.

You'll probably die of old age before there is even a whisper of a battery powered passenger plane the scale of a 787. But you may live to see a hydrogen powered passenger plane.
> compare the earnings of NASDAQ with the "earnings" of FTX

Yes? Everyone knew that volume in crypto was too high and likely irrational. But that wasn't much indication that FTX was behaving fraudulently: they seemed to be just doing the straightforward work of helping match buyers and sellers and taking a cut.

Cruise missiles and rockets are not the same. One is an unguided munition and the other is not.

Nothing suggests Poland was targeted on purpose besides your fear-based rhetoric / war mongering.

"Russia cannot be trusted and has bad aim".

This war has turned everyone into a bunch of Russophobes and has really helped to shine a light on how many racist-ass people live in Eastern Europe. Not really surprising though since they hero worship this guy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepan_Bandera - in Ukraine.
The SP was pretty painful to hold and use for long times in my experience. The shoulder buttons were particularly hard to hit comfortably. The original GBA horizontal design is my favorite and most comfortable. Swap it to a nice backlit LCD or even OLED and it would be perfect.
> I also considered switching to iOS. But Safari doesn't even have a text scaling / sizing option. The only thing I could do on iOS is reader mode in Safari, but that's also site dependent. And I still have to pinch-zoom to set my text size every time I open a page.

Apple basically invented the ability to dynamically resize browser text back in iOS 7 [1].

If you go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size and set Larger Text to On, you make the text as large as you like.

If you only want bigger text in iOS Safari, the popup menu allows you to resize the text on the fly.

Sure they helped the company, but it's not like they handed them 10 billion dollars. And at this point they make up so little of the cost. Every car company had this same opportunity but they passed it up.

Don't fault Tesla for that as if the government is propping them up. At this point very little of Tesla's money comes from.

You using Norway is disingenuous they have just over half the population of New Jersey. They are incredibly small. Meanwhile Tesla is #1 in all of Europe.

Looking back when the last change happened: there was a subversion integration with git, but people actually switched to git for proper decentralised version control rather than use it. Then switched to GitHub to recentralise but that’s off topic.
This is right by the border and not close to any "valuable" infrastructure. Clearly the lives of two people and their property are valuable! But wartime calculus has a heavy discount factor...

"In less than a week, the cryptocurrency billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried went from industry leader to industry villain, lost most of his fortune, saw his $32 billion company plunge into bankruptcy and became the target of investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Justice Department."

That's the first paragraph. Literally calls him a "villain" and says he's the target of multiple investigations.
They're not missiles they are rockets - unguided munitions. It's easily understandable how two out of one-hundred plus rockets misses its target. In fact it's more understandable than all one-hundred hitting their targets dead on.
> the hyping of hydrogen is a desperate astroturfing campaign by oil/gas/nuclear

I'm not sure why it would be an astroturf. This really reads like an institution that is promoting the work they are doing and they are trying their best to make a newsworthy story. The second they add in words like "thermodynamics" and "entropy", or add anything boring like actual science, they are no longer newsworthy. Nothing to see here, just (over-hyped) marketing.
The owner/admin of Masto Host has made various statements that he doesn't want to host more than a small target % of users and instances at any given time, because he wants to keep the fediverse diverse in hosts/doesn't ever want to be the single-point-of-failure in a federated network. (Which truly is a great attitude and one of the things I like about supporting masto.host.) So the impression I have here is that he is waiting for some of this massive influx of users to slough off a bit and give him a better idea of something resembling the new steady state before deciding on if masto.host's hosted percentage still fits within his self-imposed cap.

All of this also coincides with a massive migration to Mastodon v4 adding to current maintenance burdens.

So the short answer is: masto.host probably will open its doors again if it doesn't seem to be hosting too much of the Fediverse, and it will probably be at least a few more days if not a few more weeks before registrations open back up if they do.

(There are some alternative hosts to consider if you don't want to wait on masto.host.)
Time is really critical. Alot of police investigative work is about stitching camera footage together in a timeline.

I served on a jury where a case was built around camera evidence immediately before and after an event. Of about a dozen relevant data sources, only one had verifiable, correct time. The defense was able to impeach that evidence, and the whole case collapsed. A dude got away with manslaughter.
> Every re-write I’ve ever seen or been a part of, has either failed or taken way longer and a lot more effort than initially projected.

On the face of it what you say is true, but I've seen (and I'm sure many have seen) situations where the codebase was so bad - or the underlying technologies so ancient - that a rewrite was the only practical way to get things back on track again.

Did the rewrite take way longer than initially projected? Yes.

Was it a lot more effort than initially projected? Yes.

Was it painful medicine that nonetheless left the business in a better place? Yes.

Not a big fan of FB as a company, but I think their open source work is pretty impressive. Various other large companies have the problem of giant monorepos that they constantly need to onboard new developers to, but I can't think of anyone other than FB who consistently released their solutions.

Sure, most people are probably fine with Git once they learned it and if they only work with small to mid sized code bases (like me). But I'm still happy Sapling is out there, I might use it or learn from it if I ever run into the problems it solves.

Okay, but printing those quotes without context is a choice. When biggest financial fraudster since Bernie Madoff tries to give a roundabout non-incriminating answer, the thing to do is print it and also say that what actually happened is FTX "loaned" customer assets to a hedge fund — also operated by himself! — in return for essentially nothing. Not take him at his word that $10B missing was just a whoopsie that happened because he wasn't paying close attention.

As for the case being open… I mean, what is the point of a newspaper if they're just going to reprint whatever the authorities say happened? What about the absolutely bonkers balance sheet that FTX released, for example? Matt Levine did a good job breaking it down [1], because that's the job of a journalist: to make otherwise-inaccessible information available to laypeople.

> There is no staging area.

I don't actually want "No" staging area.

What I want is, once I "add" something, the file stays added.

Currently, I have `git st` alias setup :

st = !git add -u && git status

This auto-updates the staging area for files that were previously staged.

So I get `git add` but also don't have to re-add anything manually from there ...

Since I do `git st` quite frequently, this works out for me ...
I had an awful breakup with a woman with tortuous tendencies and a false sense of how to abuse personal injury law and she keeps google home devices and car devices recording practically every moment of her life. as well as apple watch broadcasting her location at all times.

I observed she would always accuse me of things i never did in front of these cameras to get me to give false confessions. thankfully i am as blissfully honest to all people i meet, sometimes to my own detriment, so i never admit to fabricated stories.

given that context, can you point me to judicial precedents where plaintiffs had their self provided footage weakend due to the idea of fabricating false narratives with devices, selectively natrowing contexts etc.
In the argument of monorepo vs not, the usual argument goes like this:

- It's too hard to scale for a large monorepo!

- Google does it just fine!

- But I don't have access to Google's tools!

So kudos to Meta for both solving the problem and making it available to others. It will be interesting to see how useable it is outside of Meta. I know for example that while Netflix open sourced a lot of tools, most of them weren't useable unless you ran all of them together. So far Meta has been good at avoiding that, so hopefully that remains the case.

I have a kid in 8th grade. The school issued iPads and all work is done and submitted on them. Internet hotspots are issued to kids who have no internet at home. My opinion is that the are a slightly net-negative for learning, given the time she takes fiddling with the various apps to get them to do what she needs them to do. I suspect that they greatly simplify grading (and thus the teacher's job), and are thus here to stay.

Otherwise, I think it's an abomination. Using the same device for learning, entertainment, social media and other distractions just seems like a really bad idea. Maybe I don't give the kids credit - but this is my working hypothesis. I'd be glad to be wrong.
How long til the "Let there be light" moment?
The problem with DeFi is it can't handle credit risk. You see, banks can also eliminate credit risk. They could lend money, and then insist that the money be kept in a box under their supervision. That would eliminate credit risk, and the money would always be safe. Okay, but what would be the point of that? The entire point of lending is temporarily giving up control of resources so that other people can use them. Therefore credit risk is inherent to any lending activity that is useful. Lending without credit risk is pointless, it defeats the purpose. Most DeFi enthusiasts I have spoken with don't understand this.

To use a similar featureset but in the same Git repository you normally use, you can try my https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless. Then, you can use your usual staging workflows if desired, or use regular Git commands directly.

Its design is inspired by Sapling, and, in fact, it uses some of the same code, such as the segmented changelog implementation. Possibly some of its ideas made their way back to Meta, such as interactive undo?

Jujutsu also supports colocated Git repositories: https://github.com/martinvonz/jj. It also has the working-copy-as-a-commit idea and conflicts are stored in commits (so rebases always succeed). I think it's a step forward compared to git/hg/sl.

I wonder how many are in a similar boat. I grew up playing a ton of MSFS, Fly!, Flight Unlimited, Falcon 4, Combat Flight Sim, etc... Every major MSFS version was a huge deal. I remember having a high school event the evening MSFS2k came out and couldn't wait to get home to play it.

I was part of a few VAs as well, the community was so nice. One of my first software projects as an optimal flight route planner using publicly available data sets. It was one of the key stepping stones to learning to code in my early days.
It stems from the original Mercurial implementation. The goal here is that every operation leaves the repository in a good state that can be pushed/pulled. That's why Mercurial and Sapling rely on commit/amend/uncommit, etc and for example usually discourage the use of interactive rebasing in favor of restack and other operations that add another "state". It facilitates the mental model for developers without actually removing workflows (they are just different).
It's also extremely common for totally legit purposes as well.

I followed the blog post this article provides[1], which leads to another blog post[2]. It's another bullshit article

> Decentralisation was always a phantom. At most it’s a way to say “can’t sue me, bro.” Every process in Bitcoin tends to centralisation — because Bitcoin runs on economic incentives, and centralised systems are more economically efficient.

How exactly does anything specific about bitcoin imply anything about decentralization in general? And how do we know that centralized systems are more efficient?

These quotes sum up the author's thinking:

> Bitcoin is not about the technology. It’s never been about the technology. Bitcoin is about the psychology of getting rich for free

> The marketing pitch is that the actual-money economy will surely collapse any moment now! And if you get into Bitcoin, you can get rich from this.

This says all that needs to be said about the author. Cherry picking ridiculous examples, making broad generalizations about the interest behind bitcoin, this author has all this in common with the news media.

I have a hard time taking anyone seriously who thinks it's their "moral duty" to shill for the central banks. These folks can churn out all the shitty blog posts and editorials they want, at the end of the day, they'll never be able to freeze wallets like they've frozen bank accounts.

You're right that it is just an implication on my part (and thanks for the sister comment of yours for finding the diagram!). Comparing it to LB is just a little bit flippant. But you have to admit, LB was a 100 year old company that provided actual value in an incredibly complex and entrenched market. FTX was only a few years old and basically managed electronic trading cards for electronic trading card enthusiasts, yet has ~100 different entities in the corporate chart? Something is a bit off.
