As for (3) - there's no proof either way, as you already said.

But collecting more of that data which their marketing business makes it's profits from, is likely to have a positive effect on their bottom line.

And since the change already has been live for a while in some regions, it seems likely that Google is well aware of how much impact this change has on their revenue.

You decide for yourself if money is or isn't the reason why a big corporation like Google would do something like that.
All the more disheartening that they resort to all this sliminess when they're at the top.

I'd love to see an Apple that acknowledges the coil whine in Mac Studio and Studio Display. An Apple that does not distort the meaning of privacy, and markets ad watching as a premium experience.

Not all Twitter employees are in California; you generally can't do this in Europe, so it'll be interesting to see how that pans out.

> Pretty cruel if you ask me. Or more like uncaring at all. But not unexpected from people on the spectrum...

This is not how autism works. Autism is not the inability to empathize; autistic people absolutely experience empathy (even if they often have difficulty recognizing body language that would often trigger empathy in social contexts). A lack of empathy/penchant for cruelty would suggest something like sociopathy or narcicissm rather than autism.
>Do I have a enough stuff in the local libraries to rebuild the civilization from scratch into the 80s? It's a university town, it shouldn't be a problem... and that's just one town.

The issue with this type of thinking is that it assumes some level of material surplus before those books are both physically and intellectually lost to future generations.

A societal collapse already implies a critical level of material scarcity that would make information or industrial preservation low on the totem pole. Where are you going to get the raw and human resources to maintain what remains let alone rebuild industrial processes? And what if those "human resources" don't want to rebuild?

The novel Earth Abides by George R. Stewart has a pretty candid take on what would happen if an academic survived a systemic collapse of the United States and tried to rebuild the Old World from what was left of the survivors. I think Stewart's vision is extremely plausible, even with the advent of the Internet and digital storage, possibly more so.
Not impossible, but highly not possible.

I'd wait to change opinions based on recent stories, those tend to be heavily distorted. Instead look up events that happened months ago and judge based on those (eg calling Thai diver a pedo).

I’m dumbfounded by the idea that Musk was under any societal or business obligation to keep underperforming employees on his payroll.

As much as you may hate Musk, if you’ve been in this industry for a while, you know SV is full of people who are better at slacking, whedling, and coasting than coding, and in some cases have no skill at all and are clearly nepotism hires. Musk clearly does not have time for that sort of hiring, but I don’t think it’s a unique thing to him; any other non-SV businessowner would almost certainly be doing the same.
Attributing this behavior to autism seems incorrect and harmful to me.
Show HN: Confluo – A task assistant for connecting, collaborating, and coworking
Hello everyone,
I’m the founder of Confluo app, a personal task assistant for both individuals and teams as well as for both personal and professional projects or activities. Since its launch three months ago, I’ve significantly revamped confluo.

Below is a list of what has changed:
· Confluo now supports connecting, collaborating and coworking, all for free.
· You can now invite and connect with your friends and colleagues.
· Collaborate on one common activity or project with a team of up to 10 people under the free plan.
· Virtually co-work with your friends and followers on as many activities or projects as you want.

A little background:
The fact that we usually feel more productive working in environments, such as libraries, coworking spaces, or cafés, where we feel that others around us are also working really became apparent to me during the covid lockdowns when I witnessed workers, students and writers using a variety of virtual coworking methods to study or work together, such as, via Zoom sessions, forming study groups and channels on Discord, or using Focusmate.

Even though lockdowns are behind us (I hope), some of those virtual sessions are continuing to this day. But I always felt the requirement of keeping the camera ON to attend these sessions a bit intrusive and found them unsuitable for carrying out non-sedentary tasks such as gym or sport. Even for sedentary tasks joining video sessions has been getting increasingly impractical now that most of us are working from anywhere rather than home.

Hence, I initially conceived Confluo as my personal task assistant that would organise my tasks and share my task highlight with my friends as I work through a task as a way for me to feel committed without having to turn my camera ON.

Since then, I have also been experimenting with other task management apps but found them to fall short on one or all of the following things:
· Ability to quickly create an event in calendar from a task
· Focus sessions with Pomodoro break reminders for longer sessions
· Ability to track my work hours and accumulate my skills
· Notify me when an event ends and suggest which tasks, I might pick next

With Confluo I believe I have addressed all the above points. But like any other products Confluo is a work in progress. Currently, I'm working on enabling collaboration on more than 1 activity/project is not supported as I haven't worked out a paid plan yet.

Please give it a try and provide your feedback. I hope you’d find it helpful.
Gutsy article by WaPo considering its owner.
Or, you know, use the Google maps app (like the company is always haranguing us to do) and turn on “only allow while using” for geo location.
True, so for that 5% it's not a replacement, unless you do coding via ssh or a cloud IDE.
Note that any Twitter staff who had been paid in options or RSUs will have had a conversion event turning them in to cash when the sale happened, so I would expect most of the senior and long term staff to have just had a windfall.
Labor solidarity is an extremely common, useful, and productive way to think about boss vs worker concerns.

It's why we don't cross picket lines, why we unionize and support other unions, etc.

I don't mind internet services being down from time to time. What I mind is services that are unreliable, that acts as if they were working while they're not. The fail whale was there from time to time (I've seen my share of her, I've been on Twitter since early 2007), but this time it is different. It's not a "oops something is broken, we're on it and the service will be back soon, sorry" situation. It's a "everything is going wrong and we don't even know if the people who can fix things are still there" situation.

The less variant is good if you only want to follow for a short time or check for new output once since it can be enabled/disabled in less itself with 'F' and Ctrl+c and then you can again scroll and search in less.

And regards tail. I think most users want tail -F instead of tail -f in most cases. Lowercase f follows the file descriptor while uppercase F follows the file name.

So with -f you can still follow a file if it is moved or deleted (but I can't imagine many cases where you want to follow a deleted file and someone continues writing to the deleted file).

With -F you can follow a file which does not exist yet (and will start following when it's created) or when a logfile is rotated continue following the new logfile.

I get what you're saying, but if your most advanced development examples are a Python interpreter and Swift tutorial then that's a sign that something else is holding them back.
Yes and no. They are not in the hardware business at all, and they are losing customers because of it. So by supporting LINUX, which has been asked for ages, they will have the side effect of supporting Steam Deck and regain some customers.
I don't think it's black and white as it looks.
PG&E pricing is higher than that, ranging from 37 to 49 cents per kWh on their default residential plan. That's more than three times the national average. It's unclear why the state expects folks to electrify when electricity is outrageously expensive.

To be fair to Musk, indeed he is delivering on the "hardcore" twitter promise. Edit: not condoning his practices.
I've been fascinated by NLDS and always wondered how could we use theory of chaos in, for example, psychology, treating states of mind as (strange) attractors. Would that ever be useful to use NLDS thinking in discussing mind/consciousness?

Core of the distribution is the package manager/building tools. Compared to the babylon of eg. Debian packaging tools, where you'll have trouble figuring out basics like automatically installing build dependencies if you don't already have the target package built (lol, wtf? :)), Arch Linux's makepkg/PKGBUILD ecosystem is uniform, fully featured, and fairly simple.

There may be simpler packaging solutions, like Slackware's or whatever postmarketOS uses, but those are limited, and you'll have trouble figuring out how to do things like selecting files you don't want the package manager to ever overwrite, or preventing installation/updates of specific packages, or other things you might need that go slightly beyond basic installation/updates.

If that is not the culprit then check if OpenGL rendering is activated.

Good point. Signed his hardcore e-mail ultimatum, then still kicked out onto the streets, and branded "unsatisfactory". Ouch!! Musks appears to be enjoying his sadism.

I was very excited when the PinePhone came out and I bought the Manjaro edition with the Convergence package. Unfortunately I found it really slow compared with my high spec Android phone. I'm happy I bought it since that way I contribute to the improvement of the implementation of the idea of the Linux phone but I don't think it's there yet. Hopefully there will soon be a new PinePhone or another Linux phone with more powerful hardware than can better serve the needs of more users.
The PinePhone is really important because it helped create a community that has improved the state of Linux for Phones a lot, which is great. But I don't think the PinePhone is there yet for daily driver. That said, I'm sure it has improved a lot with newer versions of Linux and software for mobile. For instance, I read the battery has dramatically improved, since when I bought it it was abysmal.
Well darn. This is an awesome leap, but I've spent the last few months making a card game using Stable Diffusion art and I guess now I need to go back and go over everything again. Congratulations to the SD team on another wonderful step forward!
Agreed. Anyone else who purchased Twitter would absolutely end up restructuring. There would have been layoffs, etc... But, I highly doubt it would have been this shitshow.

Fire, ask people back, then fire again. Roll out a feature that everyone tells you is going to cause impersonation issues, then roll it back when it....causes impersonation issues.

I mentioned in a comment the other day that I heard a take that's very simple. Because Musk overpaid by so much, there is zero path to success. Now he's just trying to stave off bankruptcy which seems inevitable.

He also seems to have zero vision. If he had a vision, getting rid of people doing the work is the last thing you want to do. The old adage, there are no bad teams, only bad leaders comes to mind. He appears to want to run Twitter as-is on a skeleton crew - more like a PE firm rather than visionary founder.
They're pretty closely tied together. If you have a strong background in algorithms you should be able to understand ISA's and compilers more easily. In the end its just algorithms all the way down

> Nonsense. The idea that a government can rule over you and and your children for all of time, until it gives you permission to leave, is just ridiculous.

Of course anyone can leave the country and its government, that is basic human right, you just cannot take a part of country with you, because all other citizens have the same rights for that part of country like you.

> As long as a government maintains the consent of the governed, those citizens should adhere to the laws. Otherwise, it’s time for a new government.

Obviously, but the society that decides that is a full body of citizens of the country, not just some subset based on ethnic lines or historical borders of ancient countries of the past. That would be nationalistic thinking of 19. century and we saw in 20. century where ethnic nationalism leads.
Quickest route to downvotes and comment flagging I've ever experienced here is this comment. It's bizarre and eye-opening.
So you think hedge fund account managers should only ever manage up to $1M in assets? Seems very inefficient...

(Snark aside, this idea is completely unfeasible for a number of reasons you can probably think of given a couple of minutes)
Yes.

The alternative is track down the original, individual vendor and deal with their custom sign up, shopping cart, shipping, and support on their site. Repeat with each different vendor for next purchase.

As much as Amazon hates its customers and vendors, it's got a consistent experience.
What else was Musk gonna proclaim about why they were fired? That he needed to scare the remaining staff into submission by getting rid of a few more without any rational selection criteria?

It already stopped making sense at "10 most salient lines of code". He's trying to spread his truth that he knows anything about software (or tech at large), a fiction that was probably always a big reason for why people gave him money. Enough seem to buy it. Probably the one thing he is an actual genius at: Marketing.
This article was full of ads, many of which had no relationship to the article I was reading.

No, it's completely separated from your normal code and branches and doesn't pollute your development workflow. git-bug's data is stored in hidden branches (not in the way you think about branches though).
I would say any itch you get during the day could be a 100k idea, but don't forget to search if there is a suitable solution. I think too many programmers want to code the wheel when something already exists. And if it's unwieldy to use, try to acquire the product and repackage it for a non-dev audience.

And look at https://tinyprojects.dev/projects, it has some 100k ideas (imho).
I have wanted something like this that is voice controlled, but laser focused on remembering where things are stored. I don't think it would slow anything down to say things like "im putting a 1tb micro sd card in cabinet 4, shelf 2" while physically doing it. Then months later saying "im looking for an sd card" and being told out loud where to check. It could use entirely pre-set commands, be always listening but with 100% local processing and storage, and simplicity of the interface would be it's strength. I would run it on some kind of simple dedicated hardware as part of the space it inventories, rather than on a phone.

I'm not sure what your point here is exactly. Wikipedia supports the idea that the Ottomans claimed to be the successors of Rome, and that many people inside and outside the Ottoman Empire accepted that claim. Not of course the opponents of the Ottoman Empire, who had their own claim to be the successors of Rome, and legitimising that claim meant rejecting the Ottoman claim, but it's pretty hard to argue that their claim was more legitimate than the Ottoman claim.

Especially in a discussion that started with the claim that

> Spain, the Netherlands, the British Empire and now the United States can be considered as a continuation of Rome

it's pretty hard to argue that the Ottomans did not have a claim that's at least as valid as those.
That's probably a bit extreme for me (and I'm a self described communist). A million dollars of property is a fraction of a house in major urban areas who have seen big upswings in home values.

That said, if we can decommidify housing, I'd be much more willing to discuss wealth caps in the millions of dollars.

OpenBSD for Linux Users
> It's only a matter of time before RISC-V takes over the market completely, even high-end stuff.

Why? I suppose at some point there were people who were saying the same about Itanium, Power, MIPS and other. Some of them were quite successful in some areas. RISC-V will probably do great as an architecture for 'small embedded processors' sure. How does that mean they will outcompete ARM? It took decades for ARM to be competitive with Intel for server PCs and servers. Why would it be any easier for RISC-V? Sure opensource is cool, but nobody will be giving out designs of high performance RISC-V cores for free...

> BTW this will also eat away at ARM's bottom line because the company is mostly focused on the embedded market.

Increased competition is great, maybe ARM will have to adjust their business model to compete. Maybe their lose the low-end to RISC-V. But what incentives would Apple or Qualcomm would have to switch to RISC-V? The cost to develop high performance cores would outweigh any licensing costs and I really can't think of any reasons besides that.
> "Wow, these guys really signed that thing?! They must be desperate to keep this job, if they would be any good they would have gotten the hell out, let's take another look at their code!"

Could not find any public use of the package but there's a few interesting things about this repo:

- The author used to work at wargaming.net at the time the repo was created (publisher of world of tanks)

- There are two contributors: the author and one of his ex-colleague from wargaming.net.

- There are a bunch of maintenance commits over the years suggesting actual use and not just a random weekend project.

A bit far-fetched but whoever introduced this backdoor could be attempting a targeted attack against wargaming.net as there's a good chance it's used in there.

Note: it looks like the author of the package removed the malicious commit.
I'm dumbfounded that anyone thinks these were underperforming employees.
