Those media entities were calling people out in the West as wanting to kill their grandmothers when some of those people in the West weren't following very, very strict Covid restrictions, while nowadays the same media calls people in China as heroes and freedom fighters when those people in China are doing the same thing that the anti-Covid restrictions people in the West were doing about two years ago. No-one in here cheers for blocking the likes of the BBC and the NYTimes.
When I code for fun I often go to tinker with a Go project: either a little life simulation, or a library to communicate with a REST API I use, or whatever thing strikes me. Go tends to be the default "fun" language for me.
This thread in the media is dumb. It's entirely based on an offhanded comment SBF said about how much money is specifically in his bank account. Completely ignores any investment accounts, properties, physical assets, etc. But the media breathlessly reports it as fact that SBF is down to his last paltry comma. No, he's still richer than you or me, even if he's currently unable to spend his wealth.
Really interesting idea and I can see many game mechanics that benefit. What do you think is the minimum thickness using any technology available?

I'm not so sure about the documentation part, but this seems valid at face value:

> it's one of the pillars of the unix philosophy at work - text is the universal interface.

In general, text is indeed the lowest common denominator that's available to you and fits with the majority of GNU tools nicely (and how most *nix distros are structured). Of course, some structure helps, since dealing with something like Nginx or Apache2 text logs might not be as nice as having your logs in JSON, though in regards to configuration files or program output there's lots of nuance - structured text (like JSON) will be easier to work with programmatically but might not be as nice to look at. Working with binary data in comparison can be asking for problems, to the point where using SQLite for your application data might make more sense: https://sqlite.org/appfileformat.html

In this particular case, however, the conversions were made within the confines of a single program, so the interop is indeed not a valid concern here. A properly written type might indeed allow you to avoid various inefficiencies. If you're not serializing your objects and whatnot to make the life of the consumer of your data easier (be it another tool, or a REST/SOAP API client that needs JSON/XML, or a configuration file on the file system), then there's not that much point in doing those conversions.
You said it. I'll agree that studies is a serious contender, especially considering how its been used/abused.
UK financial industry brings $100 billion dirty money a year into the country. If the banks support the crypto they can double that amount in short span of time.

Here in Japan, that's exactly how it is for books: most popular novels and such come in just a few standard sizes. Books from the same publisher usually have the same color pattern on the jacket too. Bookshelves look very neat and tidy as a result.

People love to bash Java for what has been typical enterprise architectures since large corporations have used computers.

Or do people think that before Java we didn't have any architecture astronauts on large corporations?!?
I still mull over his comment about the role of "architect":

> Between 1830 and the Civil War, architects published scores of pattern and style books. At one point or another, most of those volumes argue that an architect offers the client protection from the builder. The case is often founded on social class, the architect being the client's ally by virtue of education and breeding. The argument plays upon the suspiciousness of clients about builders, a wariness that seems to have been around for so long that it probably deserves to be called natural.

I can't help but apply that class interpretation to the roles of "architect" and "developer" in a software project.
Thanks. I'll tell them to add those. Did you check out the SDK landing page? maybe that's clearer? https://www.sdk.livecycle.io/signup2
My understanding is that this is aimed at FE development teams who are already using a preview environment platform (like Vercel or Netlify or something like that) to get preview environments for their PRs. When you install this SDK, you get the ability to leave review comments on top of the preview environment, so the different people on your team can see feedback in context and make fixes faster.

Sure, but in this case, like in many "phishing" schemes, there is no interception of the SMS, this same approach applies to all other authentication tokens, as it is the victim that enters the OTP on the (fake) site or communicates it to the phisher who calls impersonating a bank employee.
I think the images are static, so presumably pre-rendered server-side. The editing & rendering on the individual example pages seems to making an API call to a server, which I think is running this [1].

Idk but, at least from Germany Twitter now loads slower. The comments below Elon's tweet load slow, my home timeline loads slow, even the notifications load slow. Before the "reduced by 400ms" change everything was faster for me (I never understood who perceives the Android app or Twitter in general as slow - NOW I do).

I'm guessing a dev made US calls faster, so that he/she can tell Elon it's faster without mentioning for the US only.

If she did cheat (i.e. only added the disclaimer later on), she may also not be forthright about the death threats, of course.

A reminder of why it's not a good idea to jeopardize one's credibility: It's hard to re-attain.
Indeed, few Android phones can match Apple's quality, but not every Android phone and OS has such bugs though.

I don't trust Apple's ecosystem one bit, especially after the whole "we're gonna constantly scan your phone (actually our phone since we own it but you're paying for it) for child porn pics and we're gonna limit functionality because it upsets the CCP". This is boiling the frog. Maybe next year they're gonna scan for Pepe the Frog memes on my phone to report me as a right wing extremist to my government.

I'd rather have average hardware but have freedom and privacy, than live in big-corp's authoritarian prison for the sake of comfort.
"If an ISP or CDN is has a domain for every IP address it controls, where the IP address is contained in the domain name, that can skew the numbers considerably."

This is a dumb statement as these are probably subdomains not domains. I apologise. That said, when a CDN is also a domain registry, it's not unthinkable.

>that banks cannot be trusted to let you do what you want with your own money.

Well that's because we put them partially on the hook for when we, Joey Public, fall for scams, we expect and demand that the banks give us back the money we were scammed for.

I mean, I personally haven't, but I've read multiple newspaper articles about it.
I stand corrected.

We don't know when this first disclaimer was orignially published / added though.

And I would let people make their own decision whether they think her publication is misleading or not:

edit: her disclaimer also reads like it was more reactive rather than precautionary: "I never stated my images were not edited anywhere".
> 47% of UK banks don’t allow customers to interact with crypto exchanges

And yet the state asks you to pay your taxes when you make added-value on crypto.

There are literally people who have taxes on added-value made on crypto due but are unable to pay them because their banks are refusing their money.

Take 10 K EUR out: easy. Take 1 million+ EUR out: it's extremely difficult.

The hypocrisy here is phenomenal: "cryptos are scams" / "cryptos are only for money laundering and drug dealing" / etc.

But then: "don't forget to pay your taxes to the nanny state on your crypto winnings".

And it's really vicious for the state says: "Oh, crypto went up 10000%, you hence have lots of taxes due to the state!" but the bank goes "Oh, you have a 7 digits sum in crypto, you must be a fraudster".

Sneaky bastards.

Democracy isn't the opposite of authoritarianism...

Hi there! Can you talk about your little life simulations?
One of their favorite methods to fight and denounce independent repair shops is to suggest that those repair shops could snoop through user data, or more generally that independent repair means no control and oversight. Basic FUD. The US car lobby went even farther by producing an ad that implied independent car repair makes you an easier target for stalkers and sexual predators[0].

Of course all those efforts are kind of hampered when authorized repair shops mess up. Like that time when an Apple repair tech uploaded a customer's selfies and sex tape on Facebook[1].

A lot of mainstream banks felt uncomfortable about getting involved with crypto. But at the tail end of a monetary bubble when everyone is chasing yield, the pressure from your board, your major investors, and your trend-following employees can be impossible to resist. It's just easier to go with the flow. But after FTX, the hype is dead and they can quietly shelve their projects and move on.

Society picks up the bill when mom and dad bet the pension savings on crypto and they have to take public money into retirement. The banks are trying to essential provide a cooling off period so regular people don't get obliterated. The same people that complain about the impinging government are usually the first to ask for a handout the moment something goes wrong etc etc.
> Apple has fired executives for far less (like Scott Forstall).

Maps was a cover story. Forstall was fired because he was Tim Cook's only serious rival for power post-Jobs, and also because some other execs (such as Jony Ive) didn't like him. When Steve Jobs died, Forstall lost his only protector in the company.

Spinning up a maps service from scratch to match Google Maps was a monumental task, nearly impossible to do quickly and well. Apple Maps continued to suck for years after Forstall was fired. Not to mention that Siri continues to suck today. Forstall wasn't fired for incompetence. He was a proven executive who was in charge of developing iOS!

In contrast, Hair Force One has overseen a massive downgrade in Apple software design and quality. But he gets along well with the other execs, doesn't rock any boats.
One cautionary tale for you.

Justpaste.it is a page that offers exactly what you do - free, anonymous sharing of formatted pages, with images and all. Accessible at Tor, very lightweight.

Because it was so easy and anonymous, it started being used mostly by Islamic State to share their propaganda; so much that they needed to remove the "most popular" feature (as it was always either beheadings or other propaganda).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JustPaste.it

edit: ah, you have credit card info down. So it's not really as anonymous as justpaste.it, as the ISIS guys won't share their credit card. OK that can work.
I believe Australia is moving towards making it illegal to pay crypto ransoms. Cybercrime has gone absolutely wild over the last few years and cutting off the money tap should do some good.

Lightweight (no GC, under 2MB) => Which is why all GC based languages are forced to bring their own GC when targeting WASM.

Designed to be a secure sandbox (not just a language runtime) => JVM and CLR also were designed as such. It didn't work out as well as planned, when black hat hackers started researching how to game the sandbox. Still open for WASM.

Modular (add host functions as needed — eg support for Tensorflow) => JVM and CLR have dynamic code loading capabilities. WASM still hasn't standardized dynamic linking

=> Multiple languages (esp compiled languages like Rust) => Just like CLR, hence why it is Common Language Runtime, C and C++ were part of version 1.0 release.

Works with container tools (Docker, k8s etc) => Just like JVM and CLR do.
This is a good example of how microtransactions make more things possible. Going lower than $1 is difficult with standard transaction fees.
I'm fairly sure GPT-3 can't do any of that, because it was trained only with text. That is, it was trained without the context we are exposed to. Now imagine if it was trained with a body (similar sensors to what we have) in the real world. I'm not so sure we wouldn't get something indistinguishable from a human.
Coming up next, I trained a sexbot ai using my vlogs to have sex with myself.
Revolut sells crypto
Most of the highly technical software engineers I've spoken to have felt similarly. Blockchain is a neat solution to some very niche problems. However, there seems to be a middle ground of perhaps less technical people (the tech bros) who are attracted by the easy money and don't think too deeply about the underlying technical realities.
The GPU driver is an important component for desktop users, but it's just one small part of what you need to bring Linux to these machines. There's a ton of work in all kinds of other areas, down to changes in the core of the kernel. A GPU driver for Windows won't do you any good without all those other drivers.
Agree with you, but the CC fee's are like 26% @ €1 (at least here in the EU with stripe) - so around $0.50 would be more 'fun' but I can see why it's $1.

>You correctly classified 28 of 30 (93%) images!

>You identified 16 of 17 (94%) AI-generated images.

>You identified 12 of 13 (92%) human-made images.

I'm pretty sure the errors are the only two times I hesitated a fraction before clicking, it would be nice to have them in the summary.

Most AI images have issues that I find pretty jarring after having seen a lot. It's a bit like seeing somebody without drafting fundamentals but perfect rendering skills. Currently the only way to really have human level output is to regurgitate something very close to the training data. So I don't think way to make it really hard and "fair" at the same time.

The Problem with Talking to People

Customers of a bank which blocks crypto will be less valuable targets for attacks since crypto is the easiest and fastest way to extract non refundable money from an account.
I thought it became less useful when it no longer supported pay-walled sites, then it disappeared and stopped working all together... :-/

It probably got heavily abused and the sites ended up disabling the working accounts that were useful.
Yes, it could be justifiable for some reasons.

I think the point is she wasn't explicitly presenting them as authentic, in which case whether or not the disclaimer is there originally is irrelavent.
Sort of related, I always wanted to ask someone who only have extensive experience with dynamic languages - what is your mental model when you write a parameter, variable? Don’t you inherently link some vague type to each variable? I honestly can’t think back to when I started programming (even though my first lang was php).
Society pick up the bill when they bet the pension on a legal and regulated gambling site too. Or when they bet it all on leveraged tech stocks. Why stop you doing one thing and not the others?

I'm not particularly pro-crypto, but it's an interesting question that we haven't answered very well. It's clear to me that the state shouldn't stop you doing anything risky with your money - that also means stopping people starting businesses. But where do you draw the line? Problem gamblers often funnel every penny they have into betting sites - losing their house in the process. Wall street bets makes it clear that leveraged stocks can cause the same problems. Should we ban them too?

Inkjet printers are a scam. But I've wondered why they even sell laser printers, since inkjet is just far more profitable with the made-to-fail printers and the malicious way they market ink cartridges.

Only if you got a blockchain somewhere in the mix.
I'm the opposite (a non lifer ?). The problem I've had is that most of the places I've been at didn't promote but rather got you to take on more work and responsibility even though you've not been paid for it. That means when I was a junior I was doing a mid levels job, mid level I was doing a seniors job, senior I was doing a principles job.

How do I know this? Because when I interviewed and moved position I got the promotion easily off of the back of explaining what I was doing day to day.

I guess the summary was I haven't worked at places that actually promote at pace.

I'd also never started with a high salary for example my first programming job was in a big famous city at £15k ($18k) per year salary. Couple that with very low yearly pay increases that meant the only way to get a reasonable pay increase was to move jobs often.

I've now got into this as a habit to move jobs more often.

That's not to say I haven't been at a single job for a good amount of time, I've managed to stay at 2 jobs almost 5 years each. I also don't job hop every year my average tenure is just under 3 years.

Although I do admit I now enjoy moving:

“A person needs new experiences. It jars something deep inside, allowing them to grow. Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.”
You find a hell of a lot of lifers in the semiconductor industry from my experience. Intel, TSMC, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, IBM, ARM etc. It seems to tick all the boxes I guess. Fulfilling work, decent pay, good benefits, and plenty of room for growth both vertically into director role, and horizontally into other teams and domains. There's scope to make a global impact if you're good at what you do.

I couldn't imagine staying at the company I'm at forever, but equally, I'm not particularly drawn to any other company right now.
