Abraham Lincoln intentionally filled his cabinet with people who held different and opposing perspectives. What's the point in surrounding yourself with people who only think like you?

Arguing for argument's sake is annoying, but echo chambers that reinforce agreement are force multipliers for inaccuracy, falsehood, and extremism. I'd rather be questioned than told I was wrong with no agency in my defense.

> ...some group of people are afraid to speak...

What you are describing is called a "hugbox", aka: safe-space. Any platform that actually catered to every neurosis would be totally silent.

> ...cancel culture is what you get (amongst other things) when there is no "moderation".

I wonder how much thought you've actually put into that opinion. Because, for example, Twitter was very aggressively "moderated" and is also the birthplace of what most would characterize as "cancel culture". With such a counterexample I don't know how such a claim could be made with a straight face.
I never worked in Sii, but my first company was kind of similar. The biggest problem I've encountered, was basically getting paid around 3k PLN as Junior Dev while being outsourced for something like 15k PLN as Regular Dev to US/EU companies. Middleman took more than 70% of the money for themselves. The longer you stayed in the company, the more you knew how it works, so folks with 5+ years in were actually getting more fair salary, I'd say middleman (like Sii) in their case took around 10-20%, which is quite resonable.

I have the feeling that a union this guy formed aimed to cut down the fee for any new joiners or people not aware how much they were being ripped off.
Note that China Insights is run by Falun Gong, which is basically China's version of Scientology.

I would not trust anything they say, even if they claim to show evidence, because there is a very high probability that they are deliberately misrepresenting the evidence (for example, deliberately mistranslating documents, knowingly putting false captions on photos, etc.). A lot of false rumors about China that make their way into English-language media trace back to Falun Gong and their various outlets (such as the rumor that spread on Twitter several weeks ago that there was a military coup underway in China).

Freedom of speech is the freedom from violent consequence. When the government enforces a law, it does that by using or threatening individuals with violence. It cannot use violence against a corporation without using violence against an individual, for the same reason you cannot burn down a forest without burning down a tree.

Regardless, it's not like you can avoid these laws by not incorporating. An individual who runs a site with user-generated content in a way the government doesn't like would be in even more trouble.

> A single telemetry entry is also sent by the .NET SDK installer when a successful installation happens. To opt out, set the DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT environment variable before you install the .NET SDK.
I like your explanation for why the word might be drift prone but I think the explanation is much simpler: In contemporary social and political conversations disagreement isn’t an acute occurrence. People who share even a slightly different view are not just wrong, they’re rotten to the core and consciously systemically undermining good in the world.

Words like wrong, disagree or even lying don’t express this sentiment. They give the person who disagreed with you a pass on what they really are: A manipulator who is attempting to assault your psyche and break you down.

I really hope we as a society get out of this mode of thinking soon. I’d love to be able to have rational discourse again in my lifetime outside of a very small circle of trusted people.

Traditionally, the strategy for the US when it comes to exerting influence internationally has been to facilitate regime changes by force, either through the military apparatus or by funding and training opposition groups. This has left the US as a "pointilist empire" with military bases strewn throughout the world.

China's strategy has been to use its massive workforce and economy, buying US debt, investing (and thus buying out) infrastructure in developing nations and becoming an integral part of the supply chain for most of Western industry.

Russia's strategy has primarily been to create a neverending stream of disinformation, misinformation and half-truths. Instead of creating a false narrative, it creates tens or hundreds of them without fully committing to any of them so the "objective truth" just becomes one of many possible truths and any minor factual mistake leads people to "question the narrative". Opposition groups in foreign countries are funded, but only to an extent that provides a cover of plausible deniability for them. Individuals are assinated in the most blatantly obvious way but with full denial of any involvement. Internal opposition is jailed with selectively enforced laws that seem relevant enough to be plausible but seem to be based on bogus evidence the deeper you dig. Russia's goal is not to get you to believe a lie, Russia's goal is to get you to question reality itself.

Basically, for the US and China disinformation is just another weapon in the arsenal. For Russia it's just what Russia does.

PS: The invasion of Ukraine is a bit of a counterexample to this but given how much it is dragging out, that just demonstrates how bad they are at solving conflicts "the American way".

Of course you could make the argument that all countries use all of these techniques to exert influence. The annexation of Crimea was as much a military operation as it was a disinformation campaign. The US is a vital part of the supply chain for many of its allies. China infamously engages in information warfare even against its own population. But what I'm arguing is what each country's primary weapon of choice is. And for Russia it's to attack the concept of reality itself.
Vectorization (auto or manual) can really help optimize bottlenecks like evaluating simple comparisons once you're out of easy algorithmic wins. It takes so much attention it's only worth doing in the most critical cases IMO.

Auto-vectorization can be fragile.
Manual vectorization is a ton of work and difficult to maintain.
Even Facebook is more open than OpenAI. They've released, under somewhat open licenses, models like Galactica and opt-175b, which is of similar size to GPT-3, though maybe not as good.

To a degree but network effects play heavily into this. The quality of the ads being served on a platform affects ad buyers decisions. If you're a smaller company having your ads show up along side ads from established brands gives your company a sense of legitimacy with consumers but having your ads show along side low quality ads for boner pills and obvious scams then discerning consumers will associate your company with those types of advertisers. As the big brands flee so will the smaller ones with the void being ever filled by even lower quality advertisers. Wash, rinse and repeat until all that's left are ads for boner pills and scams. Unless Twitter gets it crap together it's just a race to the bottom at this point.

They're only using versioning to indicate breaking changes though. There will never be minor or patch versions in this semver, only ever major (breaking) changes. They're saying "if the version is different in any way, your code might not work because there are breaking changes".

How much the major version changed (v2 -> v3 vs v3 -> v9) doesn't actually tell you how many changes there were. In that way it's almost identical to using major-version-only semver, vs dates.

Ask HN: Is there a problem with HN Algolia search?

Not sure if this is a bug that I should be reporting to HN or ask a question to fellow peers who have similar routine as mine on how they are coping up today.

How many people were affected by this, and is this comparable to the failure rate of the dive computer you implicitly trust?

Quick Googling:

--- start quote ---

From our internal information and industry connections, the failure rates we have seen over the expected service lifetime of a computer vary from 0.5% to 50%, based on the brand and model. And don't think that any particular brand makes you safe. For example, while Suunto is generally a reliable brand, the early D3 was a disaster in terms of failure rates. The Stinger on the other hand was very reliable.

--- end quote ---

50% failure rate. For an activity that can kill you. Imagine if these companies were under the same scrutiny as Apple.

The trouble with science around sex hormones is that people both in the past and present tend run with a conclusion even when science has proven the conclusion to be false. Sex hormones in generally do not do what people think it does.

People have done studies where they have increase someone's testosterone (within human levels) and observed if there was any changes in aggressive behavior. It was proven repeatably to not cause any change. This caused a bit of surprise among researchers and resulted in a new theory called challenge hypothesis, but popular opinion still believe the old theory that testosterone increase aggression. An even older theory thought estrogen to cause emotional hysteria, and a mountain of research illustrated how wrong that was.

To make a car comparison, how much oil is being pumped in a car has a direct relation to how fast it is going. If it has zero oil the speed of the car is likely to go to zero. Oil is required to reach high speeds (or rather high rpm), and oil has a correlation to speed. Oil has a direct effect on most part of the engine. Oil doesn't however cause high speed, and increasing the oil does not make the car go faster.
Okay, let's suppose then that an idiot does something horrible, is the idiot to blame 100% for the horrible thing? What about the people that should know better?

This fragmentation of the communication space is the problem that the new EU regulation for messenger interoperability tries to attack. I agree with this idea and also with the idea to make it mandatory only for platforms above a certain size.

To me it makes sense. We had centuries where people could send a letter from one country to another country, both with their own postal services. Why can't we send a message from iMessage to Whatsapp without installing another company's spyware?

However, I do not agree at all with the EU's plans for Chat Control.

Honestly I'm not entirely sure, possibly because it probably varies by state. My understanding was that the main thing it did was make it so that you didn't have to join the union and pay dues to them to be able to get a job at a workplace. I'm not sure if it requires that you get the same benefits or not but I'd definitely agree the intent is to cripple union's bargaining power and resources.
A chap I worked with years ago had his wife cook us some food for a week or so, and brought it into work each day in little plastic tubs. Lentil curry, chickpea curry, all sorts of vegetarian food, and it was amazing. One was even a soya-chunk curry, which tasted better than meat, and zero chance of bones. I think playing to the strengths of the vegetables is always going to work better than creating stuff like facon and such. It always looks so...unappealing. That being said, perhaps the reason we eat so much meat in the UK & USA is because we're also taught that to cook vegetables you boil them...in water. Nowhere else in the world do they think it's a good idea to do this. They have flavours, they incorporate vegetables into meals, not just a spoon of boiled carrots, a spoon of boiled broccoli, and a spoon of peas.
I'm no dietitian but how much nutrition there actually is per 1kg of beef compared to 1kg of potatoes/pumpkin/onions, etc.?

My sister is vegan, and whenever we have a vegan meal, I'm already hungry 2 hours after the meal. On the other hand, if I eat a burger for lunch, I might not be even hungry by dinner time. Again, I'm not a dietitian so I'm pretty ignorant about these things, but if it has to do with proteins, I think the ROI for meat proteins is going to be a lot higher compared to vegetables.

I realize this gets complicated, but just another counter argument for ROI of meat compared to vegetables.
I tried to write a simple program in Forth that needed to keep track of a list of pairs of numbers and after coming up against many issues I asked online in a Forth group and was told that Forth simply isn't suited for such programs (programs that need to work with dynamically sized amounts of arbitrary data).

Konami makes this really great projection system that keeps track of game state and projects onto a big table and they give/lease/sell these devices to game stores. The device comes installed with trusted public keys of a certificate authority managed by Konami and will only work with virtual cards issued by Konami. The ownership of those virtual cards is handled by a mechanism not managed by Konami.

This is basically how Yi-Gi-Oh physical cards work. They make official cards and they don’t manage the ownership of those cards.

The advantage for Konami is that they don’t need to build much of any infrastructure for a market for trading or selling virtual cards. The advantage for players is they don’t have to rely on Konami for these ownership related features and can buy, sell, lend as they see fit.

The MTGO marketplace is really awful but it’s the only choice that MTG players have if they want to buy, sell or trade virtual MTG cards.
I do believe it is a way to evade expectations, which are in my opinion much higher than for boys in the current culture. But I doubt it is boys oogling them.
