Supposing that the "correct" 80% is getting cut in this exercise - Musk is still essentially promising sweatshop work conditions for those who remain. It's evident that what he wants is for engineers to work early mornings, late nights, weekends, holidays, maximally in the office, under a trigger-happy boss who shit-talks you, your company and your work on social media, and is motivated by pure financial desperation.

Remember when the previous administration tried to do this and was called racist and stupid for it? What changed?
Is it more heartbreaking when a couple thousand minks kill a couple thousand chicken so that they can survive or when a couple million chickens get slaughtered industrially to make nuggets so industrial nobody should deserve to eat? In the same kind of line: is it more heartbreaking that cats (that we feed and reproduce) kill 500 bird a year each or that suburban expansion, car noise and dangerous highways kills and displaces whole populations? Once again: is it more heartbreaking that poor black people put their tens of kilo of trash out in the street or in a random freestyle dump or that rich white dudes release literal tons of co2 and high-tech trash around the world by flying all the time and buying/discarding useless stuff all the time?

Widen your lens and check the context. You'll see the pollution/exploitation/.. is always in fine done in the name of the people that matter. (the flip side of this being: you can be a zero-waste green-everything aficionado all you want, if you live in the western world, you will have a negative impact globally just because you're living off of stuff that is done in this way) Malcom Ferdinand has popped off mainstream recently writing about these subjects.
Why? I'm confused.
Theoretical computer science goes way over my head, but this is an interesting choice of terminology, because a branching tree of choices yet to be made is exactly how I reason about side effects in programming, whether with monads or effect handlers or something else.

So I wonder, is this new structure a generalization of existing tools, or is it something completely new?
I don’t know how many severed toes before the “elite chefs” realise they are not that special.
It's questionable why RxJS isn't that popular. If reactivity is great generally, it should have been massively succeeded by now (or 5 years ago). Is "signal" battle-tested at large application? Or javascript code shouldn't be large in the first place? Why aren't frontend folks asking philosophical questions .. so we won't fall into traps again?
>By then, you've probably lost most of your imagination anyway.

I've recently left academia after ~10 years to work on more blue-sky-stuff in industry, and this rings so true. It took me a few months to unlearn academia's focus on the minimal project we can do to get the next paper out (still unlearning!).

It's hard to get in, it's harder to get out.
> But lets start by simply banning the most criminal organizations first

NSA and cghq have tapped onto the global fiber optic systems on a global scale and see spying on every single person on the planet with dragnet systems alongside as you say biometrics, and that includes US citizen data.

Where does that fall into?
This reminds me of Stephen Elop from Nokia and "Burning Platform" memo.. Nokia lost its top smartphone manufacturer (25% of the market) position in about half-year after that.

But the timescale involved were much longer.. the Nokia losses happened in months, not in days.

This is truly horrible. Amazingly, Musk has reached bond-level evil in within one week and burned 44B dollars in doing so.
They are allowed to say what they want and worse, question the narrative on that website now! Luckily, there's parler.
A great way to think about any discussion on the public internet to be honest. Everything you say on twitter is to a mob, and within that mob is a very diverse group of people, not all of them working with the same perspective or even the same context and goals as you.

There's that joke about using accidentally using Personality A with Friend Group B; with the modern social internet, you're talking to every friend group at the same time and I think that's why we have such defensive pretense, placation and weasel wording going on. You lose all nuance, and you also lose benefit of the doubt.

I think that's what is missing on broadcast platforms like FB/Twitter et al, and why Discord has been such a hit. Discord gives you discrete friend groups, so you can form deeper more nuanced dialogues about topics over a long period of time.
I don't like such rules of thumb.

A better approach would be that A comment should tell you something that you cannot glean from the code and/or is non-obvious. Yes, I understand non-obvious can have a truck driven through it, but in general it should work.

You can read code and understand what it's doing mechanically, but you may not understand why the obvious approach wasn't taken or understand what it's trying to achieve in the larger context. Feel free to comment on those, but if the code is difficult to understand mechanically, the code is generally bad. Not always, everything has exceptions, but generally that's true.
Except in tech you get metrics like lines of code instead then ;)

Although it would be nice to be paid by line of code. Except in python or any other language where line ends are significant.
I suspect the style and library code used matters greatly. Said differently, the constructs that Rust has make it _possible_ IMO to write code that is easier to read than equivalent C. Obviously even this depends, as the simplest use case will look very simple in C, but the most complex use case it is possible to write cleaner looking code in Rust due to he inclusion of higher level constructs that C simply does not have, so it typically resorts to hiding this via macros.
Strange, I was always under the impression that Japan was super expensive. Maybe that's just getting there and the popular tourist destinations.
In China, private companies large enough cannot operate without a fair amount of control and involvement of some layer of the CCP.

So I'm an American who uses TikTok for entertainment.

I don't think it's utterly ridiculous to allow TikTok to continue. Even hearing these threats that China is possibly surveilling me - what do they get that other social media apps like Instagram get from me? From the FBI it sounds like the national security threat is that China may use it alter my feed to influence me or take over the control of my Apple phone? Has Apple warned users that TikTok will take control of their phone?

As far as I'm concerned, I'm just watching short 60 second videos and could not care less if China has my birthdate.
Wouldn't the major exchanges be similar to "the House"?
Because the concept of "verified" journalists implies that those "unverified" journalists outside the MSM aren't "real" journalists.
Who says they aren’t? I’ve been reached out to to help create one recently. I imagine there are several in the works.
I explicitly stated they aren't, and that's the most bad faith take possible.

I said it is the primary vehicle by which they are transmitted for all of human history, which is a fact.

Up to now Twitter was a platform for watching other's carnage, now it is producing its own carnage
I wasn't necessarily opposed to his call for that. But the whole idea of somehow segmenting the app in a way that would somehow make tiktok better for us seemed kinda impractical. Just ban it or don't. If we ban it someone will make a clone in the west, or IG reels will just take over.
>We punish not to humiliate as an act of vengence

No, I think that's exactly how the Twitter mob operates. These people treat politics as some sort of religious war.

The iMiev preceded the Tesla and sold better in many part of the world because it was a more decent proposal.

What Tesla did was making greenwashing and wasting energy with electricity dfast and cool. It is probably better than wasting with ICE in nuclear powered countries but that is not what the world need right now or ever.
Nice. Just read Atomic Habits and am attempting to use some of the tips. Also just reading Dune for the first time too!

Its not "Cherry picking" the video is from 2018 and obviously you would compare to the current price.

Also the whole "people have already lost a lot of money" argument is totally pointless since you do not think the people who made money are relevant so why should the people who lost money be? If all of crypto is totally useless as people here keep saying then its a zero sum game and no money is lost at all it just moved around. Could it be that the people who moved it away from them are at fault?

Anywhere outside of crypto we would blame the people for their stupid actions and not "the system" after all casinos exist and HN people aren't constantly talking about how it makes people lose money.
From the intro section of TFA:

> Lastly, it goes without saying that a wearable alone cannot replace a smartphone. That is why I will also use a couple of additional devices - the AirPods Pro and an iPad Pro.

So the headline is really pure clickbait?

It's not their fault the spacebar hadn't been invented yet.

It was verification if you were important enough (based on whatever metrics) to be awarded verification. Therefore it's not surprising that some people explicitly denied verification after submitting documentation would take offense.
My theory is that when European classical music was being written, there were no loudspeakers, amplifiers, effects or digital instruments. To fill whole auditable frequency spectrum multiple instruments were needed to play multiple pitches at once.

Reason for this is that most instruments could only fill part of the spectrum. Organ being one notable exception. Still, even on organ, to fill the whole spectrum, multiple notes need to be played at the same time. So, harmony was very important to produce a full sound.

Today, a single synth can fill the whole frequency spectrum by playing just one note. So, to have a full sound, harmonies aren't necessary anymore.
One predatory thing TikTok does that app stores should have banned ages ago is they repeatedly ask you to show them your contacts. The point is for you to slip up that one time and accidently hit "yes" so they can collect all that info. This should not be allowed.
In a perfect world, tests and assertions would protect from that, but yes, that's a good use of comments.
I expect it to be possible in near future that you develop, say, a web server in Rust in userspace, and with a few changes run it in kernelspace, with improved performance.
Yeah, whenever I hear song, I’m not thinking about the lyrics or anything else except “yeah, this song has a lot of key changes”.
The parent suggests that bureaucrats could simply change this unified charging port after a while. By that time there will be just as many USB-C ports as there are 230V outlets.

Most of Europe already has a standard 230V plug (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schuko). It would probably be easier to get a unified 230V power plug than to change the USB-C port again after a decade.
Animals are not humans. Comparing a mink farm to slavery is ill informed at best if not just plainly insulting.
"Unprocessed" seems to be the key word that the headline skips, plus the one specific risk category. So basically the headline is a lie.

But ignoring that, the article is further confirmation that you should eat more vegetables and less processed meat, like your doctors have been telling you. But with some extra attacks on expertise and science, which I'm sure will be helpful in further eroding our civilization.
You know that it is super normal for journalists to pitch their ideas to various journals? In fact, journalist remain the same journalist when moving from one job to another or when being between jobs. Or when moving for substack.

There is also zero reason to limit the term "journalist" to big institutions.
I've considered that, but it's been used for some time by a large amount of people and I've yet to find reports of common problems. There's not much real evidence for that. Contrary to that, I tend to feel better after moderate practice. I wish there was more study but I don't feel uncomfortable about it really
> They actually support things that Apple doesn't. It's possible to use apps from your phone on your PC for example.

And you can run iOS apps on macOS, so nope, this argument is invalid.

Basically every argument about things "not working" OOB on macOS can be reversed and applied to Windows: yeah, macOS won't transfer files over USB to Android, but Windows won't talk to an iPhone either. We have two huge silos (you can keep arguing who's done a better job, but the key point stands: "cross-play" is not here), and third-party efforts like KDE Connect, that require more setup almost by definition.

> They don't need to download anything, link accounts or need a device from the exact same manufacturer as you. Unless they use MacOS.

I know it's another Apple-only tech, but have you seen/tried AirDrop? It uses Bluetooth (for discovery) and a custom variant of P2P WiFi; transfers are insanely fast and you don't need to install anything, link accounts, etc - you just need to be in range of another person's device. People I know who are working in the video industry (>100gb files being common) swear by it, and throw rocks at any and all cables.

Again, most arguments end up applying to both Windows/Android and Apple; as soon as you step outside of your silo (e.g. by choosing the independent KDE), things are getting complicated. Perhaps we should be angry with the whole of Microsoft+Google+Samsung+Apple+etc all doing their own things, rather than sitting down in one room and agreeing on a strategy that benefits the users of all of their devices?
TikTok as-is presents a massive attack surface for (d|m)information and worse. And the version available in the US is highly addictive with numerous bubble creating feedback loops. The amount of engagement and time spent on the app is incredible.

The creators know this and provide an alternate version called Douyin used domestically which optimizes for educational content and has additional rules/safeguards

I don't want to harp on which country has which political motive, but it's pretty cut and dry to see that the service owners export something very different than what is presented domestically.
you should test your serum levels and go from there. 50k IUs a day is a lot if your blood level of d3 is already 50 nmol/l or higher, it's probably the right dose if your level is 19 nmol/l and you are being supervised by a doctor to recheck on regular intervals to back the dosage off once you get the serum level close to where you want it to be. Me personally any more than 5000 IUs a day I would be checking my levels at least once a year just to make sure I'm not slowly poisoning myself (I'm an obese guy who has tested low before that lives in the northern hemisphere and likes to use computers all day and not go outside much. If I was smaller/lived closer to equator/spent more time outside I would want to test at least yearly over 4000 IUs a day, but this is just my personal opinion none of this is medical advice).
> For press this is important, so you know you're talking to the right person.

That presumes their tweets are important. That's what twitter wants them to feel, the purpose of checkmarks on twitter is to make them feel important. If a journalist has something actually important to say, let them publish it and let their publisher confirm their identity. The byline on a New York Times article can be trusted, it doesn't need some dumb little check symbol next to the name.

The tweets of somebody with articles in the New York Times are not important. When a journalist tweets, they bypass the mechanisms and customs which would normally make what a journalist says important, namely their editors. The apparent importance that tweeting has is an illusory sensation cynically engineered by twitter, to the detriment of society.
There's also a bit of Fitt's Law in here as well - I find it a lot harder to select, or put my cursor in, a single letter variable. So if I want to rename `i` to something else, I must carefully select `i`, whereas with a longer variable I find it easier to put my cursor in the middle of `index` and hit F2.
It's not using vs. not-using, but software compiled at a time where the Vt-x and Vt-d quirks were not known causing all sorts of crashes and intermittent freezes.

So for 'broken' software (and there was a lot of it - even back in the day of the turbo button) it often can be better to just not allow the software to see/use all the hardware.

Example of the weird stuff you have to first know about, then detect and then mitigate, on a per-device basis: https://marc.info/?l=linux-iommu&m=139305749014927&w=2 and that's something that when you don't do it, the software doesn't deal with it very well. Since not all software can be influenced by its operator (be it lack of skill, resources or simply legally not allowed), it can be much easier to just have a switch in the firmware where you can hide it from the software.

Switching code paths based on MSR is something that is one of the safest (and broadest) things you can do early on when you start up, so in a way, such a switch is merely "supplying configuration" but in a pre-boot fashion.
The constancy in Go makes this better. I have come to expect `r` to be an io.Reader or http.Request depending on context.

There are a few interfaces in Go that are used heavily and I don't mind that people often use a single character for them.

It's the same thing as everyone using `i` for iterators.

If my car is broken into and my laptop is stolen is that lost income?

If someone is raped and has to live with that mental scar is that a loss?

You're assuming taxes on income are the only way to lose money. We all pay for the effects of crime. We pay for the police, we pay higher health insurance for others injuries, etc

Considering Finland is the highest ranked country for happiness, has a low crime rate, social nets, and universal health care I think copying them is a smart move even to try it.

The main problem is the traitor evangelicals who wield power here while they use the government for money and contributing little the economy. They're are filth that we need to clean up first before we can improve this country

No, part of the thing that has made this more successful than when I was a kid is I have spent quite a bit of time working on things like maintaining focus, prioritizing, time management, maintaining healthy sleep patterns. Additionally, I understand what is and isn't ADHD and what can be fixed with a stimulant. If you try to fix all your problems that way, it's not going to work.

When I was young, it was just 'here take this'. No help with understand what was happening or how to work on it. And I think that's a bad place to be.
It was actually the Poles who cracked Enigma and built the "bomba" machine (Marian Rejewski) to automate cracking the key. They passed the method to Britain. Turing refined the bomba to make the British bombe, which was then further refined by Harold Keen (Tommy Flowers produced an alternative design, not to be confused with his later design and construction of the Colossus computers for the Lorenz cipher). The designs were later passed to the US, and were further refined by Joseph Desch. My point here is that while Turing was certainly important in the campaign against Enigma, it wasn't just him and his team.
Err, pretty sure that was the entire premise of my post -- that you wouldn't be able to tell when they're not complying unless you audit and sign all their code before distribution.
No sorry. When you have people on Twitter claiming that they should be fixing 10+ years of technical debt to improve performance. And the platform is overrun by bots and spam, issues are not resolved. Complaints dating back 10 years are not addressed in any way. There’s obviously internal problems.

If the platform cannot run for 5 minutes without someone pressing a button to keep it online then I have to question what 1000s of engineers are doing at Twitter.

Engineers not being good is probably not the issue. But I’m pretty sure it comes from higher up.

It’s also evident that Twitter was poorly managed by the fact it’s pretty much never made a profit.
I had understood it’s mostly the preservatives and processing - sausages etc
5 cent per TX is actually expensive compared to some crypt solutions.

This is projected. Actual cost to consumers will depend on banks and how they choose to recover the cost. As an example, credit card transactions are much, much higher but a lot of consumers consider them *free* because they aren't charged directly.

Yes, some crypto transactions may be cheaper --- for crypto swaps only. But crypto isn't a functioning currency. You can't rent a place to live in crypto-land. Compare apples to apples and look at the overall cost of doing an actual, end to end, real world transaction involving crypto (like paying rent) and 5 cents will start looking more attractive.

>This assumes that the sober state of mind takes precedence over the altered state of mind. But there's no evidence that the one is superior to the other.

First, define "superior".

Second, if you have 20 sober people looking at thing and reporting it looks the same, then you drug them and every one of them reports someone else, I'm giving that to the "sober mind", even when some tiny minority might be reporting in "sober" state what others would classify as "drugged"
But the casting is specified as unsafe, so if you do it (in `unsafe` code) and don't check that its safe, then you're breaking the safety contract.

The whole point of `unsafe` is to define a clear boundary across which invariants must be upheld. In this case, it's those given here: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.pointer.html#method....

What's the use case for wanting to convert an invalid pointer to a `&mut` and then not use it?

If I'm missing something, perhaps you could show me some code that highlights the problem (on, say, rust playground).
