You are comparing Ansel Adam's Dodge and Burn (which certainly alters the image quite a bit, no question) with pasting different mountain ranges and a snow leopard together, making essentially a digital composite? That's ridiculous! One is increasing and decreasing light and shadow in an image, only working with what was captured physically on that sheet of film. The other is copy and pasting from different photographs, making it seem like it was one photo. Totally different ball games in my eyes.

IMO this only changed in the US over the last 5-6 years and accelerated because of COVID and remote tech work. The stigma persists from before when the US had only a handful of fun, young, urban areas to live in. When I entered the workforce there were only a few choices. Now I could see myself living in a whole bunch of places were I starting out my career.
It's a numbers game. Keep checking
> Tbh I think he’s talking to this specific person because he thinks she’s hot. I’m totally serious about this lol

I didn't bother listening to it, and honestly if it is the reason it goes to show just how inept he really is considering how incriminating this all is and will be used against him; honestly, if this goes long as Theranos trial I will be extremely upset.

He and his gf at Alameda should be thrown in prison as fast as Charlie Schrem was, but because he is an insider they will make a show of it and expensive lawyers will get them short sentences in a light security jail at worst.

Hell, they should already be sitting in a cell next to Razzlekhan and her BF while being interrogated to hand over the funds while they sort all this out, that's the State's MO when it comes to these matters-- for them to sign a plea deal under duress and indefinite detainment like they have done to so many others. The fact that he is doing this podcast from the Bahamas shows the hypocrisy of the legal system entirely.

Edit: I didn't know who she was so I looked at her playlist and this came up [0], she personally got scammed for 200k on Celsius with the yield farming rugpull. I think it's just another youtuber making content trying to get more traffic/ratings: it's totally transactional for her and it seems since he has the social graces of a lamp post doesn't realize he has no chance.

Not if you want decent hardware. I really wanted to go with Pixel 6 with Graphene, but the many bugs (both software and hardware) and especially that emergency call thingy that is still ongoing made me choose the Apple ecosystem (which is unmatched in hardware by any android phone, unfortunately)
Skinner was replaced by Zuckerberg/Thiels datamining of all human minds. In hindsight it was a mistake to get completely naked.
They're just jokes, not supposed to have much meaning beyond a superficial connection to zen stories. Any attempt to read into them will be frustrating.
Ya’ll complaining about not being able to update a published page:

There is an edit and preview mode to draft the doc.

Hence once something is published, it’s actual GOOD that the original cannot be edited. Write a correction/apology/I was wrong /I made a mistake instead and have some accountability.
This only suggests that quality control and warning system are working. The 2000 case is infamous because both didn't work and caused deaths and permanent injury.
Could this just be incompenence?

I have seen this kind of code many years ago when external company was brought to sell us their implementation of CMS on some (even then) outdated Java/js-on-server-before-node-era platform.
I was asked to do code review to chcek if their code can be integrated into our codebase.

I was quite unexperienced at that point in time but enough so to notice that there was something off with the code. There was a lot js that looked almost like exercise in obfuscation. Things like doing join, append and split on array to do push - and it was not abstracted into function - this three operations were repeated all over the code.
And then I met the programmer - it was ovious after few questions that he did not know what he was doing and his direct manager, who was also present, know nothing about programming (he was more od a business person as he himself proclaimed).

It was as if this company hired the cheapes guy they could find, that on paper looked competent, give him task of implementing CMS, and only looked at results (the CMS actually worked), but no one ever checked the code that was hiding under (and the guy never worked with anyone else and never read any other code besides his!)
Now if only they gave me a real 2FA option that doesn't actually decrease security. So they made a fancy app where I need to confirm PC logins with a 5 digit pin. But the same app is also their official banking app and lets me do everything with my account, all with the same 5 digit pin. I don't even need to enter the credentials necessary on the PC. This is what you get when the government tries to mandate security.
I get that instinct, and used to agree with it.

But now I think that the versions are not part of the resource path, just as starting the path with /api doesn't mean the API is part of the resource. The versions are part of the api path. If I had a URL that was /api-v1 and /api-v2 it would be more obvious, perhaps, that the URLs are addressing different API implementations, and everything that came after was the RESTful bit. Having /api/v1 and api/v2 as the prefixes isn't quite as clear on that point, for sure.

The reason I like having the version in the path is it makes it a bigger deal for the implementer when they're making breaking changes. Having a per-endpoint, slightly hidden way of versioning endpoints might mean it's harder for them to intuit quite how many changes are flying at their API's consumers.
Wow, I get it that people get angry when composite and staged photos win photography competitions. But going as far as sending death threats to a hobbyist photographer whose photos were published by third parties, without proper permission and proper disclaimers it seems, is truly despicable. Because there is nothing wrong with composites (I don't do them, but art is in the eye of the beholder) as long as they are not passed on as non-composites. And just where the line between post-processing, editing and composites is, well, those lines are blurry, aren't they?
Indeed this looks a lot like a custom request
I was there with you at that age and I am sure that those smarter than me will offer great advice. Now I'm older, married and have a child and I don't even think about myself and what I am feeling anymore. Looking after other people seems to be the key for me. I don't even have an internal monologue anymore!
How does this work, is the rendering done client or server side?
This result is really beautiful! At the same time, it's like GoL has been conquered, and in that it leaves me a little sad. But just a little bit. Congratulations!
So called liberal parties (in the US sense here) have all shown their more authorian colors over all over Europe. Formerlly is was conservatives that were the scare mongers and gifted laws to increase subjective security. Now their supposed opposition does the same exact shit. The whole continent is old and fearful.
> and pandemic conspiracy culture

Not so conspiracy after all. The NYT article mentions "the military coming door to door" as a reason for one of the guys in the article going berserk, which is not exactly what happened in my European capital city, but we did have military guys with their Humvees operate the major city intersections earlier on during the pandemic (I'd say April-May 2020). Of course that it was all security theater, but the military was actually out in the streets, handling civilian assets.

Not to mention that later on during the same pandemic people lost their jobs and their livelihoods because they hadn't taken the vaccine shots (which the people from this article most probably also wouldn't have taken, so they would have been put in the same situation).

Looking backwards, and in the context of the media now totally avoiding Covid discussions (unless is related to China) after the same media had accused each and everyone of us of potentially wanting to kill our grandmothers, things were pretty well damn f.cked up.
Owning a company is a right not a privilege. You need to be able to setup to gain your livelihood.
Well, no idea.
OP worked at Twitter, we should expect as much ;)
Seems like they updated the site recently, so figured folks might enjoy some of the new content. It's been a while since I've visited; been using Figma for a lot of what I previously used TikZ for. However, I returned today because I wanted to generate some diagrams from a fairly large spreadsheet, which seemed like a perfect task for TikZ. And to my surprise, there's a ton of new prior art on the site to learn from :)
er... whats #frozen?
Oh interesting. Thanks for the link
Good point on the analysis not linking any original sources.

However, and importantly, she only added the disclaimer after having suffered from the backlash:

Check for yourself:

No statement about 'composites' on this version from 4 days ago:

https://web.archive.org/web/20221127010418/https://kittiyapa...

I am not convinced by her explanation either. It was never clear they were composites.

Again, going to her original publication: https://kittiyapawlowski.com/snow-leopard-series

I find the whole story misleading at best: having the 'composite' (fake) images next to captions explaining that this is a snow leopard at 17,014 ft (5185 meters) is dishonest.

She thought she could get away with it but backtracked a few days later after it got out of hands.
Can someone recommend some cheap ESL (as mentioned by other comments), that's easily hackable (as in a push an image to it without much troubles)? Many need proprietary base stations, some use NFC, but I'm looking for something with Bluetooth or ZigBee (or similar). Basically I want simple frame that would update with calendar events (or something), so NFC is not suitable and I don't want to buy expensive base station with lots of extra cruft (especially for one tag)
Woah woah woah. Don't buy into the bullshit. We know exactly what FTX was meant to be. FTX US was meant to be a US based crypto exchange regulated in the US, FTX International was meant to be a Bahamas based crypto exchange with less regulation. Alameda was meant to be a hedge fund.

FTX made very clear promises about what it was - and that all customer deposits were safe, which we know is a lie because at the point SBF said that we knew the liabilities of Alameda and FTX was denominated in an imaginary currency.
> Profilers also lie

Yep, it becomes obvious when the Chrome profiler tells you that the CPU has spent a sizable amount of time on a javascript comment, which it sometimes actually does.
This isn’t even unusual. There was some news report staying the average number of apps a user installs per month is 0.

These days you don’t browse the App Store. You go there knowing exactly what app you want.
The wayback machine has an entry from 26th November without the disclaimer notice:
https://web.archive.org/web/20221126145641/https://kittiyapa...

But the earliest entry for the contact page (27th November) is the same as right now: https://web.archive.org/web/20221127010417/https://kittiyapa...

So it's unclear when the disclaimer was added.
The whole editing stuff into photo montages is ok, if you don't claim otherwise. Which, according to the photographer, she never claimed. Quite the opposite, she seems to be pretty upfront about how she takes and edits pictures.
> What Rust does is flip this. The default is the safe path. So instead of risking forgetting smart pointers and thread safe containers, the compiler keeps you honest.

For what it’s worth, the same is true of Swift. But since much of the original Rust team was also involved with Swift language development, I guess it’s not too much of a surprise. The “unsafe” api requires some deliberate effort to use, no accidents are possible there. It’s all very verbose through a very narrow window of opportunity if you do anything unsafe.
No idea about LLVM's support for it, but I know Apple's XNU kernel, built with LLVM, uses it (check for the __CTF,__ctf section). I think it uses ctf_insert(1), so it probably doesn't need the toolchain itself to support it.
My Java is a bit rusty, but can't you define the hashing function for this class?
Fully agree, they learn by doing, nothing beats experience with brain
Hi there, I'm the author (of the blog post, not of the achievement itself)! So glad this is spreading. Feel free to ask here or on the post for more clarification if stuff is too unclear
Thanks! You're 100% right and I believe they are doing that.
My understanding is that they've had a version 1 of product in the market and now they are now rolling out a new SDK version. They were asking for my help in finding ways to get beta testers for that...
Data lake? More like data pond
You can sanction the individual oligarchs versus the country wholecloth perhaps. Ban the oligarchs from travel, deny their private jets over allied airspace, deny their boats a right to port, offer a bounty for their boats in international waters. Seize their foreign assets. Ban them from participating in your markets. Make participating in the fun of the global high society annoying to impossible, and force them to be on house arrest in their own country. Do the same for their extended families living abroad and their close friends. Kick their children out of foreign private schools. Jail the kids. Do the same for the oligarchs in any country who doesn't want to align with the UN on this issue.

There's plenty of things that could be done beyond what has been done typically.
I imagine you'll always be able to use something like Western Union to make such payments.
I often use the torrent download option because it's faster than the HTTP download. Hopefully WT will offer that experience seamlessly at some point.

Though, not that many torrent clients support WT yet, so it'll take a bit for the swarm to become multiprotocol. Same with v2 torrents really.
The history of Ada kept it from getting widespread attention. Sometimes it’s just about the right time and place.

Plus there’s something to be said for cargo being a killer feature for rust. Easy build configuration , easy package management and access to a large ecosystem of libraries.

Between that and the book..:As steep a learning curve as the language itself has, the actual on-boarding process is way more accessible than many other compiled languages.
Autonomous (Annalee Newitz, 2017) has a military robot character that uses part of a human brain for functions like face and emotion recognition. As a technical device it’s a smart use of capabilities; as a fictional device it’s a bit facile but not overwrought.
That's a great point. I'll show them your feedback. But since this is an SDK that needs to be installed on the preview environment, I assume a developer needs to be involved...
Wow that's some dedication.
What are you hoping for exactly doing this?
Are you not scared it will likely plain poison you eventually trying all those experimental stuff?
Fdroid is the only thing I miss from android. The apps there were primitive but at least they weren’t abusive.
I am very risk averse so I would never have done the consulting gig it had not been to beat the depression after being laid off and that useless feeling sitting at home even if I was financially okay.

Also my experience and contacts certainly helped - LinkedIn was farking useless.
How about letting people do what they want with their own money?
The Omens (2004)
I've owned multiple (fancy) rats as pets in my time. The species is somewhat split into domesticated and non-domesticated.

My rats would probably never have survived in the wild (due to their appearance, sand/tuxedo coloured, instead of just gray/brown), and likewise wild rats wouldn't be possible to domesticate.

There's quite a few videos on YouTube of the social skills they can develop. Quite amazing animals, but incredibly short lives. Most people who have them don't get new ones after the originals die because it can be so heartbreaking losing a pet every 2 years or so.
Looking at the actual report, only Monzo and Revolut (yes, I haven't heard of them either) are "crypto friendly". The others could best be described as wary and watchful.
> The intention of the DWARF spec writers was to provide folks with a stack machine that was Turing-complete, but in practice, yeah, nobody really takes advantage of it because there's not really a need.

There definitely is a need for better DWARF information, be it with new opcodes or not. It's just that generating them has not been a priority for compilers.
"To clarify, all my images are edited and processed in Photoshop and Lightroom. Some images are composites, some are not. Some are only lightly retouched. I am NOT a journalist. I never stated my images were not edited anywhere."

Are sidekiq jobs a fundamental problem or a solution?

This reads a bit like "we spun up 3000 threads to do this simple task" which in some domains would be an "oh, oh, something is wrong" and in others would be "high five, our system is super scalable".

I think the author politically wants it to be a problem, to further decentralize the fediverse. Which I think is a good idea, but don't want to randomly believe other things just because it would help that cause.
No, it really doesn't. Not when people live in condo buildings with hundreds of residents. Korea is not like America.
Smalltalk, Objective-C and Swift top that, because the parameter names are part of the method name as well.
It can! A seed constellation for the initial gliders would be possible using the extra debris from the original collision. Without using that debris, there might be a problem reaching far enough without adding extra bits that each double the amount of reaching to get to the right starting point. So I think would be a specialized recipe for a couple reasons.
I have a lot of experience in C, a lot of experience in C++, and some experience with Rust (I have some projects which use it). My opinion is that it's true, and the other comments are good explanations of why. But I want to point out, in addition to those: There's a reason why Rust was adopted into Linux, while C++ wasn't. Getting C++ to work in the kernel would almost certainly have been way less work than getting Rust to work. But only Rust can give you the strong guarantees which makes you avoid lifetime-, memory- and concurrency-related mistakes.
The about page from 27th November does have a notice that some images are composites: https://web.archive.org/web/20221127010417/https://kittiyapa...
> This crypto ban by Starling comes off the heels of Santander’s decision to limit customer deposits to crypto exchanges to £1,000 per transaction and a monthly limit of £3,000

This, ironically, validates the argument for crypto that banks cannot be trusted to let you do what you want with your own money.
Anyone checked if it's safe to install?
take a look at the later images that demonstrate geographic and topological features that do not match reality. The photos are all composites.
A year and a half is really good for a $50 sat. Some makeshift ones only last hours, like suitsat-1.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuitSat

A year and a half is amazing for off-the-shelf non-space-rated parts. Vacuum, radiation, temperature differences of hundreds of degrees all wreak havoc on electronics. A year and a half is really excellent.

And like others mentioned these types of experiments are put in such low orbits that they decay quickly after their service life.
I first learned about blockchain years ago talking to some middle eastern clients who had implemented something with it. After looking at the technology from a data & software engineering pov, I thought it was basically useless and incredibly niche. I said as much, but they didnt believe me; they also thought ML was where you "fed data to a machine and it did everything" because that's what some lecturer had told them.

For years I was mostly just confused that "crypto" was anything at all, and latterly it seemed pretty clearly insane. The pitch to replace governement-back currencies with deflationary tokens clearly a fever dream of some political moron. Then it became very clear that it was just a scam: the dream was the hook. And "tokens" fit the collectables mould, in which assets with only ephemeral value to collectors boom in speculative bubbles.

Two years ago a friend wanted to get into the industry, and I said that soon it'll be a black mark on a CV and everyone will be hiding it.

What is interesting is that amongst professional finance much of this has been apparent the whole time. I've spoken to senior people in UK banking and they've confirmed as much. And as much is clear by reading the FT.

What is interesting is how much "elite tech" has captured the elite and silenced professional finance. The Economist article cited above, for example (and on HN the other day), was absurdly pro-crypto giving the scam-sales-pitch verbatim.

Some documentary is no doubt in the works on this, and I can see an Adam-Curtis style one on "how silicon valley beat the financial elites and captured the political imagination of a generation"
I sent them your feedback :-).
Did you check out the SDK landing page? maybe that's clearer? https://www.sdk.livecycle.io/signup2
There are weaker forms, those accepted in intuitionistic logic. The law of excluded middle usually appears in mathematical proofs in the form of reasoning by contradiction:

To prove A, assume not-A and reach a contradiction

This is the non-constructible reasoning par excellence, but the following weaker form is constructible:

To prove not-A, assume A and reach a contradiction

Intuitionistic logic also allows so-called Ex Falso:

To prove A, reach a contradiction (without assuming not-A)

Now, if what you wanted is a form of LEM that is non-constructible but 'less' non-constructible than LEM, then I don't know.
Lifer at a gigacorp with golden handcuffs since 2008.

Had second thoughts about it a few years back and did some interviews. Got a great offer for an interesting role at a great company. For half my current TC and worse benefits.

In my poor corner of the world, all that is available for my salary demands are high stress hero roles, which is the opposite of what I am looking for.

Trying to find fulfillment in other aspects of life instead, and at work just trying to keep my head down, keep digging the proverbial ditch and lining the coffers.
Because politicians will blame the banks when too many people lose their money
I don't really understand this. I'm very, very bearish to all things crypto, but how is banks stopping their customers transferring money to crypto businesses meant to prevent risk to the banks itself?
Quite surprising that we have had two Alzheimer's breakthrough already this year.
Interestingly, this comes despite the recent findings that a famous alzheimer's study faked its data.

The fallout from that study which used falsified data was implying that decades of Alzheimer's research had been undone. This was probably not the case.
