Growing up I assumed it was some kind of electronic malfunction, produced either by the TV or by our own radio comms.

It wasn't until I saw this Drunk History with Jenny Slate that I learned the noise is the cosmic background radiation, the ongoing "ohm" of the big bang.

No, most. Like Signal for example. Even without security you can't migrate between android and iphone or have multiple devices with the same account. But they have crypto amd stories now lol.
There is an excess of land, particularly in the USA.

The issue is that people want to live near, you know, stuff.
It is time we developed something like an professional ethic in the developer sector including shunning people that break it.

Sadly finding people who will actively make the world worse if it pays enough (also on this site) is not hard. What is hard, is finding people who have the guts and the self respect to say "No" when they are asked to do creepy, destructive or evil things.

And if ethics won't work, let's introduce laws and enforce them. Free speech, sure, but what about informational self-determination?

Your options are to learn from it and do something else now or spend time regretting what you didn't do, probably regretting this time at some point in the future.

Personally I take the lessons and write off the time, if I ever come across a time machine I'll fix it but until then it seems silly to pump more time into regret

It is not. Session and Matrix alone use the same protocol Signal uses without needing your phone number or google play services.
I have teenage children, and I had to explain to them what gaslighting really means.

It used to refer to subtle psychological manipulation over a long time to achieve a brainwashing effect.

For the TikTok generation, “gaslighting” is just a synonym for “misleading”.
> I think we’ve evolved from that to “being gaslit is the wallpaper for most conversations.”
Seemingly any point will be contradicted by someone, no matter how untruthful or outright wrong to malicious the counterpoint. It’s as though people are live action role playing the worst of the internet in person at times.

I’d start questioning your own circles if that’s your experience of “real life”. Can’t say I’ve ever experienced anyone I consider a friend, family, or a colleague of note acting like that.

>With Telegram I can see at least appeal in using it as news source, chat room or for bots, but what offers Signal besides hype about The Current Thing?...

I use Telegram as a less 'facebooky' alternative to WhatsApp. Most of my friends and all my family are on it and, as a convenient messenger, it has a lot going for it; fast, 100% reliable sync across all my devices, generous file transfers, ability to quickly ping someone your location, ability to set up and subscribe to channels, etc. etc.

It also has some infuriatingly shite 'features' such as the fact that one party in a conversation can delete messages from the other party's device and [as is oft-mentioned] the fact that comms are not E2E encrypted by default. But, on the whole, I reckon it's the best all-round messenger app out there. Just so long as you're not under any illusion that your comms are in any way secure.

Nice to see thorough incident reports from gov.uk and I think actually this shows the google safe browsing system working well. The domain assets-origin.production.govuk.digital "looks" very much like a phishing url, even if it's internal.
Many of these are managed by a good agent. I answer 1 email per week pretty much, the effort is minuscule.

Leverage was the thing which made the numbers attractive. Example numbers in the UK for instance £50k deposit, £200k purchase price, £150k mortgage @ 2%, £12k per year rent = 18% gross yield (£9k return on your £50k cash in.). Before capital gains.

Imagine if you have £200k for 4 deposits then you could even be financially independent if your costs are low. It has been a very easy path to wealth.

With interest rates rising then the whole dynamic changes, but it has been an extraordinarily profitable and easy play for almost 20 years.

This bears repeating every once in a while: surface-mount soldering is not very hard. It's perhaps harder than through-hole, since you don't get the benefit of having the component held mechanically, but not by a lot.

The actual soldering with surface-mount stuff does not mean you have to be like an industrial robot in your precision and gently apply heat to each tiny tiny leg, while also getting the solder in there just in time, all the while holding your breath so you don't blow things away. Not at all.

Surface-mount soldering can be done using way "uglier" techniques than through-hole, where you basically flood the component's legs with solder, heat it enough for it to melt and flow, and then remove the excess. Thanks to the magic of surface tension (and, if you have it, extra flux) the solder will flow to where you want it, all on its own. This kind of technique probably wouldn't cut it for production, where consistency and quality of course are important, but for hobby use it's fine!

There are plenty of YouTube videos showing this off, it can be really really easy. Please don't fear surface-mount soldering. Grab (the cool side of) your iron and join the fun!

How to Lie with Statistics by Darrel Huff is really good satire https://archive.org/details/HowToLieWithStatistics_201608

From page 32 in the chapter on how to "choose the right average"

> You and your partners have paid yourselves $11,000 each in salaries. You find there are profits for the year of $45,000 to be divided
equally among you. How are you going to describe this?
To make it easy to understand, you put it in the form of
averages. Since all the employees are doing about the
same kind of work for similar pay, it won’t make much
difference whether you use a mean or a median.

> This is what you come out with:

> Average wage of employees $ 2,200

> Average salary and profit of owners .... 26,000

> That looks terrible, doesn’t it? Let’s try it another way

> Take $30,000 of the profits and distribute it among the
three partners as bonuses. And this time when you aver-
age up the wages, include yourself and your partners. And
be sure to use a mean.
You could make the argument that having it in the URL is better than using a custom header, because customer headers may see mangling/blocking in corporate environments (indiscriminantly).

I don't think it's a strong point.
This mission marks the completion of the Chinese space station Tiangong and the start of its permanent habitation, since all three modules are now in place and it will be the first time they do an in-orbit crew exchange. Politics aside, it's quite a remarkable achievement, as to date every single mission they've launched, crewed or uncrewed, has been successful. (Yes, really. China livestreams all their launches, and it's not like you can hide rockets going boom in these days of satellite imagery.)

China has yet to announce their space station plans for 2023 and beyond, but the Xuntian space telescope that can dock and undock autonomously is under development, and they also plan to bring in astronauts from other countries.
It's because there's a weird cottage industry that has sprung up to write fluff about Tesla and launder their press releases. Their intended audiences are not discerning enough to know the difference or care, and evidently, they are not discerning enough to make wise investments given Tesla's comical market cap in comparison to the rest of the industry.

This "news" makes it sound like Tesla is doing something big and important, so these "news" blogs just repeat it without looking into it in the slightest.

I'm willing to bet that if you sent one of these blogs a convincing enough press release about anything that makes Telsa look good, they would publish something about it within a day.
Could you recommend any blue vegan cheeses?

I'm in the UK so I might have trouble getting them, most of the vegan cheese I have access to is basically the same flavour just in different shapes and forms.
Amazon deleting 1984 is not gaslighting. Gaslighting has a specific meaning, and part of it is refusing to acknowledge an action.

I'm not so sure syncing is a great example, either. Not like they hide it

Though adtech tracking and topics stuff sure feels like gaslighting. They say they're not listening, and I can kind of believe a stochiastic thing of "well you're actually friends on FB with the other person and they looked at this product so...." but there's a lot of times where it really feels like the only explanation is mics everywhere listening to conversations, even though I know it's not that! But is it?

> What's your threat model that you can't use conventional channels to communicate stuff? If you shouldn't be saying it, don't say it. If you're being censored, perhaps there's a reason why.

What an incredibly (western) privileged thing to say. LGBTQ people and oppressed women need secure channels to protect their lives. Protestors need secure channels to free themselves of censorship and an oppressive regime.

Grow up. Maybe you‘re not as versed as you think if you‘ve not yet recognized the absolute evil of state actors.
I should've written a comment explaining it. Haha.

How it works:

- Keep writing for 2 minutes. Or you will lose what you wrote.
- Export your ideas to a text file.
Crystal is a lovely language. The language community is small though, and learning resources are also small. The story for Crystal is the same story for many programming languages: grow the interest of users, and find generous funding.

My impression is that not many Ruby programmers have switched to Crystal. The slow(ish) Crystal compilation will not please Ruby users. And Crystal for Windows is still in beta.

Despite these factors, Crystal is a pleasure to use - fast, readable, and a well-featured standard libary.

Might be a setup for a financial scam within China (so they can point to western sources to support their claim). So it doesn't need to convince us in the west as long as somebody who doesn't speak English well believes it there.
Nice recall about Larrabee - I seem to remember they were also going for a ray traced approach? Nanite feels like a stock 3D pipeline in most other ways when it comes to geo.

Something of note for Nanite, is that they still do use pixel shaders for some of the larger triangle workloads. But yes as you point out, no pixel shaders for the smallest micropolygons - they are running in compute - it's quite amusing.
Well, if you're disagreeing with someone who cannot conceive that they _might_ be wrong, then to them you _are_ gaslighting them. Even though they're just wrong and refusing to engage.
Something is very wrong with the people around you.
Unless you're on a paleo diet, heating to cook is considered minimally processed. So that's more evidence that looking for "processing" isn't a good metric.

Processing changes so many things in both good and bad ways that you can't use its presence to determine much of anything.
Do you believe that the "original" definitions are not also the result of political fights?

If they've been spending $3 million/year on Twitter ads, are they that bright in the first place? I've literally never made a single buying decision that had anything to do with a Twitter ad. Ever.
Ah. That makes sense. Similar to choosing scopes then.
Backdoors are funny that way, sometimes the client operates correctly but a weakness in implementation can be abused by the server. Not that i know or think this is happening but they do insist on that phone number at all costs which these days is more identifying than a finger print which allows targeted exploitation if the server facilitating connectivity was hostile for whatever reason.
> Can you share the indices you'd like? If there is a use case, we are happy to add an op for that.

I'm using 2031 and 3120 (indices and the rest of this comment in memory order assuming an eventual store, so that's imm8 = (2 << 0) | (0 << 2) | (3 << 4) | (1 << 6) etc.). This is pretty niche stuff! It's also not the only way to accomplish this thing, since I am starting with these two vectors of u64:

v1 = a a b b
v2 = c c d d

then as an unimportant intermediate step

v3 = unpacklo(v1 and v2 in some order) = a c b d

and I ultimately want

v4 = permute4x64(v3, 3120) = c d b a
v5 = permute4x64(v3, 2031) = b a c d

> It is impressive you are willing (and able) to write and maintain code for 4 ISAs.

This is mostly hypothetical, right now I'm writing software targeting specific servers and only using AVX2 and AVX-512. I may get to port stuff to NEON soon, but I've only skimmed the docs and said to myself "looks like the same stuff without worrying about lanes," not written any code.

> Still, wouldn't it be nice to have also SVE for Graviton3, SVE2 on new Arm9 mobile/server CPUs, and perhaps RISC-V V in future?

I don't know much about variable-width vector extensions like SVE and SVE2 but my impression is that they are difficult to use for the sorts of things I usually write. These things are often a little bit like chess engines and a little bit less like linear algebra systems, so the implementation is designed around a specific width. This isn't really a rebuttal though, it just means I am signing up for even more work by writing code on a per-extension per-width basis instead of a per-extension basis if I ever move on to these targets, which I certainly should if they have large performance benefits compared to NEON.
I agree.

My tool flatterer: https://lite.flatterer.dev/ converts deeply nested JSON to csv/xlsx, is done in web assembly in the browser.

It hard to prove that it is not sending data to a server, so it can be trusted. I know people could check dev tools but that is error prone and some users may not be able to do it.

I wish there was an easy way to prove this to users as it would make online tools like this much more attractive.
I’m sure this has always been the case, but I’m thinking social media has accelerated it: there seems to be a trend of bending vocabulary for effect. Add a result we lose dynamic range in language.
90s, Microsoft IE, blah blah blah — you know the history.

For my part, I'm pushing as hard as I can to replace Chrome on everyone's machines with Firefox. It's not even the same game any more though.

In the 90s there was still a fighting chance — and we won! — because the technologies at play were not entrenched in every day life. Now it's more akin to replacing every car with an EV.
Not quite there yet features-wise, but that's the goal!
It's kind of bad either way tbh. Imagine going to the funeral for someone else's mother and saying something to the tune of "The old hag was going to die anyway, so don't be sad".

Telling people that their principles or feelings are wrong is rarely a great way to convince people, it just makes you look obnoxious in debates.

> or a much bigger problem (if it's sensitive personal data).

Personal data is a red herring. It's not the only thing that matters. For starters, using this at work with anything not explicitly public is likely a violation of your contract. In some contexts, it may even be gross misconduct or illegal and potentially exposing your employer to large fines.

And, in general, I'd say a tool like this that comes without explicit, bold warning that it's shipping data off your machine, is just being rude.
A couple of months ago OpenAI created a model called Whisper that can transcribe speech efficiently and with high quality in 97 languages. It might be used to transcribe the whole YouTube, someone estimated about 12T tokens. GPT-3 used about 0.5T tokens for training. https://twitter.com/HenriLemoine13/status/157284645289587507...

If you add the visual data you get another order of magnitude increase in size. I think this training will teach the model procedural knowledge - how to do things step by step, and that will have a huge impact in robotics and software agents.
>or cargo trains that blast some noise cancelling factor as they pass

I do agree with the op's list, but i do find cargo trains particularly rhythmic, and very soothing. When out cycling and a railway barrier drops, everyone gets delayed. I forget I'm cycling. The longer the train, the better.
The point being made was that these fake meat patties are more expensive, whereas the old vegetarian options were cheaper or bottom priced.

I've been a vegetarian for nine years. It becomes noticeable when your meal jumps 50% in price and goes from being the cheapest in a group to the most expensive.
You can also be attacked by people plainly wrong. Some will defend their incorrect grammar or pronunciation to the grave, and tell you you need to get on with the times. English native speakers are egregious for that.

But in general people really dislike when they are wrong, in any context.
And you can calculate given an actual fair N-sided dice the proportion of wasted flips/rolls:

1: 0

2: 1/2

3: 7/9

4: 58/64

N: 1 - (N-1)! / N^(N-1)

By the time you have a typical 6-sided dice, you only get 6 different rolls in 6 rolls 1.54% of the time.

I haven't calculated what happens when bias is introduced but my intuition is that with more bias you would discard more. (Based on the extreme case that if one of the sides can never roll you would never accept a result.)
It could be used as a base. But in the way it works right now not-encrypted private information could leak.
Triage is usually a non-tech word (QA/Customer Support normally). We need a human-to-human language translator, and it exists, it is called a question.
For a much smaller number of words there have been political fights, yes. But the age of the dictionary, large scale political organization and long distance communication are relatively new compared to the age of most words in a language.
Your first inference is invalid; you overlook the strategic value of buying good PR.

Your second likewise overlooks the strategic value of cultivating notoriety. Most people understand it just fine and simply want to rationalize the unpleasant ideas away, but here we are talking about them. If you still don't get it then I suggest researching the history of radical political movements and you'll find plenty of historical examples to compare.
There was also a boycott of Facebook advertising some years ago.

We know red meat isn’t healthy. Most (not all) fake meats try to replicate red meat.

What proof do you have them being unhealthy? Impossible for example has fairly simple list of ingredients. Better macros than burger ground.

Anecdotally. My father in law has had to stop eating red meat due to health concerns. He enjoys impossible products just fine with no negative concerns in blood biomarkers or examines (several years running now). We are controlling for exercise patterns too. He’s just replaced his frequent burgers with an impossible patty instead.

This comment is just a wild claim with no evidence and falsely equates “processed” with “unhealthy”
They're higher in fat than traditional veggie patties. That could explain it.

Sounds a lot like microplastics.
I agree with your sentiment, but the way I square that with what I mentioned is that the compiler can undo side effects. As far as I am aware there is nothing special about fflush in the standard where you can't go back to where the program was before it happened.

(I have never actually seen a compiler act on this, but I maintain that this is just because they're either not willing to optimize on this or unable to do so. But there's a lot of UB that compilers do not exploit, so this isn't particularly concerning to me.)
I think there's a level of bullshit in both views. Many orgs are absoloutly mismanaged.

- At the lower levels you're getting shit done. Maybe. And if you are that's good, but if the shit isn't revenue generative, supporting revenue, or saving costs, then your job might actually be a bullshit job.

- At the higher levels, you hopefully know where your revenue is coming from, and your job is to maintain that whilst growing more. But if you have no operational ability, you're at the mercy of the first group, and might not actually have any real impact in the direction of the company.

The mismatch and lack of empathy causes the discourse. The devs typically have limited incentive to chase revenue, the leaders have limited desire to get their hands dirty.

Successful startups / growth companies are less likely to look like this, though funding can distort the relationship.
Waiting for things to happen on a 486 sure, but not seeing things draw piece by piece. CPU wasnt the problem in that case, but VGA with no acceleration.
Sure, but couldn't you just use a disposable number? (Assuming you live in a place where you can buy SIM cards without showing a personal ID, which is most countries.)

That's a minor inconvenience compared to not being able to communicate with most people who use these mainstream networks.

I'm more worried about the lack of encryption and trustworthiness aspect of them than giving away a phone number.
As a meat-eater, these products have been great as an option for sharing a meal with my vegetarian friends. I don't really know good vegetarian recipes, but I know how to cook a burger.
