There is also a countdown timer on the site (currently at 403 days).

Given the scale of the FTX debacle, it seems to me that this would be a rather quick turnaround to get a potential verdict (and reporting to jail).

Would the release happen if he’s arrested? Convicted? Physically in prison? US? Bahamas? Too many details.
i personally can't retain any information in meetings, and i've honestly watched meeting recordings back to take notes on important info that i totally glazed over at the time. this wastes a total ~121 minutes on average, based on their estimate of time it takes to refocus after meetings.
It does, but I think that's only for whether to send a detailed crash report (which could contain private data). I think (but haven't checked) that the
"number of crashes" telemetry includes cases were you don't choose to allow it to send the full report.
The donuts example is that some people go not for any shared belief, but for a material benefit that cynically uses the group’s goodwill. But your choice of sarcasm and “boy isn’t this ridiculous” rhetoric shows that you aren’t even attempting to steelman the argument. Therefore I’ll end with this one last post.

And rereading your very first response, I should have caught this earlier:

My arguments I haven’t once made the claim that these bigger religions aren’t cults; I haven’t made any claim in that department.

My claim are about why people attend. More specifically, that there is a wide variety of reasons that aren’t because they aren’t believers.
The good ones go into the pot, the bad ones go into the crop.

This is how the state does a new thing in. He lets it run wild. And if it can self-contain and restrain, have a concept of governence and self-regulation, you will get away with a lot. But crypto did not.

Crypto did not pass the test, the only thing it was good at, was destabilizing the aristocracy of totalitarian governments, by offering them monetary escape routes.

So the tech will life on in the belly of the financial institutions, the rest, well nothing of value was lost.

> You should keep your code consistent across your organization, so that a large number of programmers knows how your code works.

I would argue that for this reason it's not just important to have a consistent style across your organization, but also to use the convention that your slice of the industry has settled on, which for most companies is [closed, open). If there's no particularly good reason to use one over another, why add extra overhead to the onboarding process?
Rant: I have lost so much faith in our institutions’ (especially every federal org) ability to be objective in fulfilling their mission, that they’ve become so brazenly and unconditionally partisan, that I’ve come to the conclusion that SBF’s cozying up to so many of the right people on the favorable political side means that he’ll never see a day in jail, as unfathomable as that is. He’s embarrassed so many people that the pressure to sweep this whole disgusting mess under the rug will be enormous, and the fact that it’s now three weeks later and he’s still just walking around out in the open is strong evidence of this. You can see it every day in the reporting from the media, who describe this giant con as if it was a legitimate enterprise that just sorta - oopsies!! - went awry through poor judgment and silly hijinx. The whole thing was a fraud and STILL no one with a real voice is saying so. I have no words. This has a high likelihood for marking the time when rules just officially stopped mattering, no sin too large, if you can game the system politically.

> Open and fair discussions

How do you define open and fair discussions? If Twitter becomes a one way shouting match for the far right, it's not really a discussion, more like RTLM. How do you think Twitter could actually facilitate open and fair discussions, or, if demoderating Twitter doesn't lead to them then it wasn't possible in the first place?

> a certain political group was censoring their political opponents and then telling their side it was all legitimate content moderation.

What makes this clear? Why all the hush-hush around a "certain political group". Why not just name them? Do you think your analysis is broadly inclusive of all political parties involved or is biased towards the worldview of one?

Possible I missed it, but I don’t see any reference to how they addresses chat thread continuity (aka memory) issues that are major issue for AI chat bots. Did they address this and if so, how?
> It's a shame, as the author also refers to legitimate issues with C++'s memory model (e.g. a reference can point to invalid memory in certain multithreaded code) which are partially mitigated by Rust's memory model.

This issue is not partially mitigated by Rust's memory model; it is fully solved, because Rust is memory safe.

> I'm a little worried that if we penalise financial innovation harshly like this (prison!) we will never get the next bitcoin, bitcoin 3.0 if you will.

Haha, Hal Finney (the recipient of the first bitcoin transaction, and probably even Satoshi Nakamoto himself) wrote about this idea 11 years ago:

"Any successful replacement of the Bitcoin block chain will forever undermine the credibility of any successor. How is an investor to know that it won't happen again?" — Hal Finney

I disagree. If we punish financial innovation like this then maybe we'll get innovation that doesn't facilitate egregious scamming like this.

I don't happen to see why financial innovation has to require a complete disregard of all that has gone before it and a presumption that astonishing naivety and hubris are entry requirements. But then, what do I know.
How does this add to the conversation?
If it's too critical, wouldn't they send an email about it?

Can you act on telemetry faster than email? Why?
Exactly. My understanding of the conventions and macros in those source files is that you declare what registers you will be trashing, and then the registers are saved/restored as required by that platform. On Linux it would be a NOP, and on Windows it saves and restores XMM6 and XMM7 (XMM0-XMM5 are volatile).
Maybe we shouldn't be training computers how to lie better?

If you've never played diplomacy - its a 7+ hour game that destroys friendships with backstabbing and betrayal as a required mechanic to win the game.

If you want all these things and exponential growth, check out Neptune's pride: https://np.ironhelmet.com/ for basically "diplomacy in space with a few extra dimensions". I haven't played in a few years (it was great at the beginning of the pandemic), but it was a lot of "fun" in the same way that diplomacy is "fun". Except with a space theme and a lot of anxiety waking up at 2am hoping your fleet arrives at an empty star system and doesn't get immediately obliterated.
What if those dams contributed to the drought?
I think I figured out the issue in this discussion. The article is actually about general purpose vs domain specific and not really about big and little… and unfortunately since most “DSLs” are APIs written for in general purpose languages the author resorted to using the term “little language”.
Is parody an option? That was the original idea behind Dogecoin after-all, but I suppose the lesson there is that you probably shouldn't mix parody with crypto because someone will still buy it.
Two features that make Diplomacy particularly bad:

1. Length. An in-person game can last easily 12 hours, and is mentally exhausting. Getting 10 hours in and THEN getting screwed by your friend feels worse than a game with less time investment.

2. Design. It's difficult to survive the opening few hours without alliances, but only one player can win, so everyone is incentivized to defect at exactly the moment they think they can make greater gains by defecting than by cooperating. Being betrayed, even if you survive, forces a total rethink of strategy and ruins the next hour or two of gameplay.
ByteDance I could see, but Meta and Google are hamstrung by the innovator’s dilemma to a degree: Both companies have the money and the technical smarts to pull it off, but their management structures would wreck it immediately because it poses a threat to other internal empires.
This is exactly what I was looking for several months ago for describing processes in a readable and maintainable way.

Basically the choices were down to:

1. Graphics tools (Google Drawings / Draw.io) - which were a pain for complex charts and maintenance.

2. Code-based tools such as plantUML which was mature and solid, but required Java :|
Many people can't mentally context switch for game and aren't prepared for the behavior that is required of the game from those that can. It's an assault on their world view.

There are no easy answers if you want to satisfy everybody. One easy answer is to stop trying to satisfy everybody.

Out of curiosity, how heavyweight is Syncthing, computationally? Could it run in an ESP32? I've used that same "folder that syncs" concept in some of my own designs which I would love to push down to smaller hardware...

You "heard" it all around you recently is what proves my point. American media is desperately trying to paint Hindus = casteist angle for last few years now. So headlines are deliberately modified to amplify caste angle even when there is none. There aren't any cases about caste- there is only 1 Cisco case which was repeated on and on by media. Read its rebuttal by Hindu American Foundation https://www.hinduamerican.org/press/california-cisco-case-vi...

As for caste awareness, do you believe Pew research is the best research agency out there ? Here is their 2021 paper on caste in India.
https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2021/06/29/attitudes-ab...
It also has a paper about caste dynamics of Indians coming to USA where it mentioned 95% of Indians are unaware of their caste identity (i will find that link too).

Meanwhile read the linked one. Most Indians don't face discrimination based on caste
The constituents would never want you to actually follow through with your platform as, even if well intentioned, is long outdated by the time you are able to do anything with it. Making decisions based on outdated and incomplete information would be considered horrendous by any reasonable person.

A platform merely provides points of interest to open the door to talk to the people who are interviewing you for the position. It's a cover letter, so to speak.

There is good reason why the constituents will show up at your office following the election to go over what actually needs to be done, just as any employer would. This is where the actual direction is set. There may end up be some overlap with the platform here – even a broken clock is right twice a day – but only after deeper consideration.

If you are not speaking to your hired representative regularly to ensure that your input in the direction is given, you're not participating in democracy. And, well, I guess as the saying goes: If you don't participate you can't complain. What is certain is that representatives, even the best ones, are not mind readers.

> Cicero participated anonymously in 40 games of Diplomacy in a “blitz” league on webDiplomacy.net

> Cicero ranked in the top 10% of participants who played more than one game and 2 nd out of 19 participants in the league that played 5 or more games.

> As part of the league, Cicero participated in an 8-game tournament involving 21 participants, 6 of whom played at least 5 games. Participants could play a maximum of 6 games with their rank determined by the average of their best 3 games. Cicero placed 1st in this tournament.

This bit seems a little more impressive I think. Being in the top 10% of people who’ve played at least two games might leave a lot of bad players to beat up on. Winning a tournament might (?) mean you have to beat at least a couple players who understand the thing.

It is sort of funny to think about — anyone who gets really legitimately good at anything competitive goes through multiple rounds of being the best in their social group, and then moving on from that group to a new one that is comprised of people who were the top-tier of that previous level. It isn’t obvious to me where on that informal ladder this tournament was.

But anyway, maybe the AI will follow the trajectory of chess AIs and quickly race away from human competition.
Fine, forget putting those people to work on things that make money- have them innovate on 100 other projects instead of just this one that doesn't make money.

Amazon's innovation age is dead, imho. They are the Day 2 company that Jeff Bezos always warned about.

Not quite, research for its own sake in that vein was attributed to the collapse of RCA, so most companies not in such a position didn't quite pursue it.
I would then only make gestures towards federal labs like DARPA, Los Alamos, NASA campuses, etc.
In C99 there are some nice things over C89 that aren't new syntax, like initializing aggregates in automatic storage ("stack") with non-constant expressions:

struct point p = { getx(obj), gety(obj) }; /* C90 error, C99 OK */

GCC had this as an extension before C99. Coding around that one can get ugly, and it's just a syntactic limitation.

Also, the C99 preprocessor is more powerful, with variadic support.

The macros I implemented in the cppawk project (awk with C preprocessor) would be impossible without C99. I was able to make a multi-clause loop macro, with user-definable clauses.

The webrtc fix was thematically similar in that the programmer declared what registers were trashed and then the compiler knows which registers need to be saved. I'm not sure why the compiler doesn't notice when registers are used without being declared as being trashed - I'm really not an expert at _writing_ assembly language.

No, it doesn't. "Immense investor pressure" doesn't mean shit since Zuckerberg has majority control and Facebook has tons of cash flow.

I can't think of any popular language that would take more than a few days to get acclimated to as an experienced developer, so that's not a very compelling argument.
I think this might be a strength of Diplomacy for current AI models - making contradictory plans with two different players is a perfectly normal human move, as is saying one thing and doing another, as is cooperating on round N and defecting on round N+1.
I could never get used to the thing. I got one for free and I went ahead and hooked it up - every once in a while I ask it to play some music, but for the most part, I'm just aware of it because my daughter has a friend named Alexa and I have to be careful not to say her name or else the Amazon device will wake up.
Sure I was talking about what it means for alexa to not get the discount netflix gets. Obviously they need to account for the resources they use.

Cryptocurrencies have two big "user' points which I believe drive all the adoption:

As an... investor, I want to ... participate in the high-risk/high-profit schemas that SEC would disapprove of; so that I... can gamble with my spare funds and potentially get very rich.

As an... a person with ideas, I want to ... be able to collect real money from general public without any enforceable promises; so that I... can become rich and not worry about being accountable for not delivering everything.
If allocation predictably fails, you don't need an OS-level OOM killer to kill least-recently-used - you could just do said killing manually on failed allocation yourself. And you'd be able to do so in a much more controlled manner too while at it, instead of hoping the OS does what you want. (and if an OS/stdlib wanted to, such behavior could be made the default operation on allocation failure)
Have you tried simple tab groups? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-gr...

Also it kinda solves the new window problem, as long as the new window is set to one of the tab groups (closing the window doesn't delete the tab group).

Also afaik when firefox crashes and is set to recover tabs, it should recover all the windows as well as the tabs.
This seems pretty different. This is a _cross channel correlated ID_. In other words, this is able to (and presumably used for) tying the user record together between multiple, separate applications. This isn't a "generated ID that only identifies you within the current application vertical". Those IDs would not be able to cross-correlate between other app properties if leaked. The IDs as described in the article would be able to be used to build out a more rich "permanent record" on the given user as more information flows in from various apps.
You’ve obviously never used FredDB
I would say Diplomacy specifically has features that make it cause hurt feelings almost intrinsically

1. It's a long game- after hours of play, getting doubled crossed unexpectedly sucks because of how much you have invested
2. The game almost purely relies on cooperation/other players. So double crossing someone really screws them- it almost certainly means I have no recource (luck, dice rolls, individual tactics). Getting double crossed feels like you got CRUSHED in such a complete way that I haven't felt in many other games

I have played a few times with a few social groups. Most were aware of the point of the game and enthusiastic going in, but even with that, people's feelings got hurt quite a bit.

I will say that Risk/Catan don't really cause the same feelings when we play. Diplomacy feels like a whole different level
Don't worry, politicians will "condemn this in the strongest possible terms", that'll show him.

Problem is when you click a link or enter a URL, restarting your browser restores the previous page from before you had triggered the restart prompt, discarding the page you were trying to open.

For shows that cannot be sourced in HD I would still like the highest quality there is made available as Blu-Rays without the bitrage and usage constraints of streaming. 480i on DVDs is shit enough that very few productions, even early all-digital ones, cannot be released with better quality.
We don't use DSL per se, but a custom tool for writing QA tests, which looks like a kinda Visio block diagram software, only each block is a function or other logical entity. Anyway, after a few years struggling with it, for many different reasons, we are slowly and painfully migrating to writing tests in Python, and every single QA supports it.

Custom languages, with limited support, limited community, limited extendability etc. are just like that - limited. And as soon as you hit a wall with them, transition will cost more (in both time and money) than saved in the first place by using "easier" tooling for non-programmers.
I would understand your argument if you were talking about more constrained systems, but RPIs have GOBS of storage and memory. A 45mb executable vs 7mb executable is totally negligible.
Assuming you’re talking about software in a company setting, you should talk to your manager. Is there a good reason to go fast? Do they understand this may come at the cost of more considered decision making?

Or maybe are you not able to go at the pace that they think you are?

Pressure cookers that make ppl work fast for no reason often leads to bad engineering but sometimes there’s a good reason for it. Having clarity on that should help your decision making. Good luck
