IMO there are so many differences between a religion and a gender decision/behavior/whatever you'd like to call it that they're really hard to compare in this way.

That said, I don't think there's much banning going on of people who are truly just stating their position "x is not y." In fact if that were the case, you'd see e.g. JK Rowling booted immediately. So why isn't she? In my view, platforms and individuals are making assessments of other people's intents and the likely impacts of their words in totality.

It's a deeply inconvenient fact that the words "a b c" uttered by one person to one audience can yield completely different results than the exact same words "a b c" uttered by a different person to a different audience. This is inconvenient because it makes consistent-appearing regulation basically impossible, but the reality is that everyone does this every day. We get it wrong a lot, but on net, it's obvious that a neo-Nazi with disgruntled, armed, lonely young men followers saying, "the Jews are overrepresented in media" is completely different from Pew Research saying "the Jews are overrepresented in media." These two phrases are different in basically every single way that matters!

So this is why IMO JK Rowling and Sam Harris kind of get passes. It's very obvious they're not calling people to arms. It's obvious their fans are not about to go raid a mosque or a gender-affirming care clinic. This is not so obvious for, as far as I can tell, many of the people who've gotten hit by Twitter's moderation.

Edit: And just to be crystal clear, I don't think Twitter or anyone else has gotten this exactly right. Idk what that'd even look like. It's a ridiculously hard problem. But that's why I never bought a website with 160MM DAU declaring that free speech is back.
I think part of it is that hardware is tangible, software isn't, so for some reason people resent being expected to pay for software. Building software thus has less legitimacy in some peoples' minds.
I see this in the retro computing scene: people will quite happily fork over large amounts of cash to have an old bit of kit repaired, or buy a newly-developed expansion for old hardware, but those same people - even the people doing the repairs and building the new hardware - can be incredibly hostile to the idea of someone asking for money in return for new software for those old platforms.

The book covers this by interviewing people working those roles - and by and large they consider their own jobs to be useless.

Graeber is not making these claims as an armchair expert, decreeing whose jobs are useless. It's an anthropological study of the people who themselves think they have a bullshit job.

I'd highly recommend reading the book! It's much more nuanced and reasonable than any 5 sentence comment can be

They've been doing that since Pentium Pro switched to a RISC core.
I suppose the thought process is, more eyeballs are on corresponding Wikipedia pages for entities than are on Wikidata entries, so it's more likely to be corrected/up-to-date.
exactly, this is the kind of essential detail that gets glossed over by climate zealotry, and also one of the reasons why we direly need to shift the conversation away from CO₂ (a gas that is essential to life on earth) to pollution (shit that kills millions of people right now).

CO₂ and climate change is a diversionary tactic implicitly endorsed by the fossil fuel industry to focus us on an amorphous, far-future issue to grind away progress on pollution reduction now. and it's working, as evidenced by the fever-pitched focus on climate change rather than pollution, particularly by the neoliberal news outlets (npr, nyt, bbc, etc.).

> I don't think the people cheating ever got far enough to actually effect job stats.

Yeah, some do a remarkably good job of cheating and would get into hiring stats for sure, but I think we've almost entirely cut that out now.
This argument can be simplified as a nonalemma. You can promote or suppress content by centralized, decentralized, or null mechanisms. So nine combinations:

No promotion, no suppression: chatter (the early Internet)

Centralized promotion and centralized or no suppression: traditional media

Centralized promotion, decentralized suppression: modern electoral politics, basically

No promotion, any suppression: silence (obviously)

Decentralized promotion, decentralized suppression: echo-chamber/hive-mind/hug-box, see also: why FB/Twitter don't have downvotes, and Reddit discourages them

Decentralized promotion, no suppression: inflammatory content takes over

Decentralized promotion, centralized suppression: the modern social media model

But wait, there's a bonus:

Decentralized promotion, semi-centralized (approved user) suppression: Hacker News

That’s the point - they have to pay the costs themselves, so if it turns out something isn’t important enough to be shipped at the ‘real price’ (including these externalities) then customers won’t pay for it. Instead of now, where everyone pays for it, and the real price is obfuscated.

> And take kids photos with my cell

My conclusion is the exact opposite. Cellphone cameras are so incredibly slow (measuring time from moment of picking up phone to photo having being taken) that I can't imagine using it for any kid photos since the phtographable moment usually lasts a few seconds, they aren't posing.

I keep my older Nikon DSLR cameras around the house so one is usually within easy reach so I can snap a photo in less than a second when a cute kid moment is happening.

As to the Nikon menus, atrocious is not a word I could use. Sure it's always possible to nitpick something I'd do differently but they work just fine. More importantly, after initial setup it's not something I use much since everything is controlled by the physical buttons and that's the overwhelming win of a DSLR over a phone (and photo quality of course).
You have to think about Postel's law in terms of protocols and mistakes in your implementation. You assume your implementation isn't perfect and neither is the other. Do your best to be perfect and if you get something that isn't quite right, do your best to handle it well. That doesn't mean you don't validate inputs, it means that if data should come with a \n but instead comes with \n\r, you should treat it as a \n.

Pretty much. I've built a few for the internal stuff and it is essentially one time effort for DEB based platform.

Clowns at Red Hat do like to break manifest compatibility in the worst way tho, think "a macro with same name in new version now does something else". The idea of .spec file being whole manifest is... nice in theory, not in Red Hat execution. But then last time I did any for RHEL was at RH6/7 time, maybe it's better now...

But even in that case that's fixing few minor things every 3-5 years at worst. There is no excuse to not make your packages if you're actual serious developer, not some random hobbyist.

I do give a pass for apps that run as single binary as that while suboptimal is at least easy to work around.
I think they were actually talking about the data access pattern, with mergeSort you get nice sequential access to the arrays of course.

I don’t actually know how data was fed into card based systems, I mean I know they fed the cards in, but I assumed the bulk data was read from tapes or something and cards mostly held the programs. Maybe not though, it is all quite a bit before my time!
The future costs seem pretty small and based on useless models.

The costs of curtailing natural gas right now will be evident in real death toll this winter though.
This is what has befuddled me.

I still wager the main con was more similar to classic VC frauds where you pump up your user numbers and trade volume in order to get more investment dollars (which you can then spend on anything). Advertising on sports arenas and stuff gave them a lot of plausibility as the "big player" to people (like me) who dont trade crypto at all.
Yes- and that gradient part is a key detail that makes it more than "numpy on steroids". numpy on steroids would be a hardware accelerator that took numpy calls and made them return more quickly, but without the command-and-control and compile-python-to-xla aspects.
Either Harvard is the best possible college for all their majors or it is not.

If it is, then it should be worth any reasonable amount.

If it is not, then there is some other college somewhere that is better at at least one major.

> someone unironically tried to push that POS at work because "Google"

Especially since Google has a ton of automated tools to perform tests and analysis on code, and enforces certain behavior before you can merge your code in. Something that is probably missing from a smaller organization that’s simply adopting their style guide. Also probably missing is googles alternative stdlib they use.

It’s never been great. I can barely remember what I did over the weekend or if I read a book I can’t remember what happened in it, just that I liked it. Asked my dad about it and he said he’s always been the same way which made me feel quite a bit better. On the flip side I’m great at remembering where I put things or where things are. I have piles of crap I can instantly recall the contents of when needed. When my SO cleans though it throws me for a loop.
It was trained on numerous Leetcode solutions (question/answer), which you can find on GitHub. People are proud of their Leetcode efforts: they post their solutions, as if it is an achievement.

Now tell me, how many of the BUGFIX-66 problems can it solve?

https://BUGFIX-66.com

Copilot can solve a few of the simple ones at the beginning (simple matrix multiplication, simple radix sort, etc., that appear often in the training data, and some of the harder ones whose solution appears on GitHub, e.g., the uncorrected prediction/correction compressor/decompressor whose solutions were front-page on Hacker News).

But as you go down the list, into material outside the training set, the language model won't be able to solve it.

Try it. Paste the tile, the introductory text, and the unfixed code, and see whether the omnipotent AI can solve these (quite straightforward) problems. For how many does it need the hint?

You're criticizing the meme but you just restated its core point.
It's not valid, that's how. He's using "free speech" as a way to hype up all the right winger fanboys and to unban people who will cause incredible drama (i.e. engagement) on Twitter. Hopefully all it causes is online drama, but the barrier between real world actions and online information sphere is way more permeable than the "it's just a website!" people would have you believe.

It has nothing to do with principles of any sort.
If you ever need an example of “chilling”, just reread that last paragraph. HN front page is a great place to discuss these issues; there are lots of thoughtful and intelligent minds to iterate on an answer.
I think the focus is because as a leading institution, Harvard (and the rest of the Ivies) set the trend for how the rest of academia will organize themselves.

If Harvard hired a vice-Provost of Higher Student Satisfactionality, well then surely Directional State U must have one too! So bloat in the private schools leads to bloat in the public as they try to keep up, with, as you mention, diminishing funding.

Same logic applies to business - everyone in Silicon Valley was copying Steve Jobs' best and worst characteristics after the iPhone.

You're argument on the state school is also spot on

More fundamentally: once you buy the ticket, it's yours. It should be your decision to resell it if you choose, for any reason. It's a "First sale doctrine" sort of thing in my mind.
Only 97%? That would mean one in every 30 compact camera owners still uses one regularly. I realize the market for “small cameras that you can always have with you” grew tremendously, so “3% of the number people who used to own a compact camera” is a lot less than “3% of the people who know have a smartphone or a compact camera”, but still, 3% seems high to me.

I wouldn’t know anybody who still uses a compact camera (but then, did I know 30 people who did in the time before smartphones?)
Thank you. You've expressed that really clearly. I feel your explanation is definitely missing from the article.

I wish I could say that Russia made a decision that contributed as well but that's like the frog blaming the scorpion.
Definitely it, thank you!

Extending loans and perks (jets etc.) to executives is pretty standard stuff. Yeah it looks bad, especially when you're gut is telling you this guy is a crook. So SBF lived well like all executives do, that's not a smoking gun or a litmus test for fraud.

I'm sure if they can prove fraud, then this kind of stuff is icing that gets him a harsher sentence.
That was a first round of funding, the same terms as other non-family members got. It wasn't a gift or anything like that, and it is why Jeff's parents are now billionaires.
Yeah service jobs haven't budged much. Except for automatic checkout, kiosks at the airport, that touch-panel at McD's, and so on.

But < 2% of Americans anyway work in agriculture. Down from 98% a century or two ago.

And US population grew by what, 50% in 30 years? But jobs by 25%. Manufacturing jobs dropped steadily as a pct of population. Because, automation?

It's often repeated that automation just allows people to get better jobs running the robots. Trouble is, 2 people run a robot that replaced 200.

Just ask Detroit how much automation benefitted jobs.

> if we were to replace all of the world's fleet to be more energy efficient (which would almost by definition mean larger/longer ships, since they benefit from hydrodynamic efficiencies)

The hydrodynamic efficiencies are a small part of the problem, there are many other things that can be done. You don't need to scrap a perfectly good hull, you can simply choose to run slower, burn higher-quality fuels, or strap on an oxidation catalyst (DOC) to cut CO, particulate filter (DPF) to reduce particulate emissions, or add selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to reduce NOx emissions.

But until regulation and the market catch up, old ships will choose to run too fast, to burn whatever's cheapest, and to vent their exhaust directly into the atmosphere.

This thread:

* “What was break neck speed was maybe the corona response, which was a good thing”

* “I couldn't disagree more. … The first priority for life on this planet is to have a decent quality of life.“

* “You can’t have quality of life if you have no life at all.”
My idea, which I've posted before, is that you require users to pay to turn off the filter. (After all, if they're bad for ad revenue, they can't be "the product".) This also mostly enforces region-locking, at least requiring some effort to bypass.
I forgot the question.
I wasn't trying to imply that Musk would do any degrading. He does however expect the employees to do it themselves, given the working hour expectations and minimal consideration for stability he's given Twitter's employees.

I say this as someone who sees nothing wrong with cranking out 60+ hour weeks if that's your thing.
I have a very negative reaction to sites that require an email to get something of unknown value.

Automatic no.
If it doesn't cost the company significantly extra (say, due to overtime), then the company's interest is increasing work hours for everyone to the max. In such a situation, other workers doing so, and getting discretionarily rewarded for it simply erodes the position of those who, rightfully, refuse to work more than they need to.

Unless there's a fixed "here's how much extra you will be rewarded, and thus how much it will cost the company" policy about working past normal working hours, people who do so are scabs.
I’ve noticed this since the lockdowns in 2020/21. We were locked down quite heavily in the UK and the days just started to blend into one. So it’s understandable that my memory during that period would not be great, particularly recalling when things happened. However - since we got back to normal it hasn’t recovered. I forget half the things that happened in the last year until I see photos reminding me. Stuff that feels like it happened recently happened a year or two ago, and vice versa. My partner has the exact same issue.

I was pro lockdown (until we got the population vaccinated) and I still believe that was the right thing to do. But I also think there are knock on effects small and large that we are going to feel for a long time. My memory being out of whack is definitely one and I’m curious if anyone else has seen a similar change?
I remember that a couple of years ago any wasm file hosted on any github page would be blocked by the EasyPrivacy list (apparently some idiots used github pages to host coin miners). Maybe it's a similar over-eager blocking rule.
It's been this way for a little bit already (actually since 3 years ago! [1]).

It was an intentional thing though, because we want to put this extension under a common group, not something that only Wasmer owns... that's why we haven't changed it yet. But I agree that probably using WebAssembly Foundation is perhaps not the best name :)

Well clearly I meant steroids of the gradient-developing variety.

I think you are being far too pedantic about what a biological compound would analogously do to a software library, especially given that I mention the differentiability property in the same sentence you are taking issue with.
Yes, the customers pay the tax, but the exporters and importers have to factor in the decreased demand (or margin) as the price has increased. And how they invest in the future.

And it goes to upstream businesses, if exporter Y has a lower tax basis, then they will pay rates approaching current exporter X.
For the trust fund kids masquerading as "influencers" and "journalists" who have a circle of other trust fund kid friends, yeah, sure, their lives are especially Insta-worthy.

Much less so for the underemployed 30 year old making $5k/month off passive income, or a mom&dad stipend, who still has to occasionally look at their bank account.

Pretty common for people in these situations to fall into depression and/or alcoholism.
Something that really frustrated me with my camera purchase was how the hard interface was used to upsell higher priced models. I bought a D3500, the low end of that sensor line, and there's a lot of options I have to change through the menu. Things like ISO or timer delay (I also have to re-set this for every shot), things that typically are accessed through a dedicated or function button. The crux of it is that moving to a more expensive model with those buttons is not a strict upgrade: the camera is larger, heavier, and has worse battery life.

When the 2G networks were sunset, Nissan offered a voluntary service campaign for some of their cars with 2G modems: either pay $200 to get a replacement telematics unit with a 3G modem, or they'll disable the 2G modem for free so it doesn't drain your battery trying to connect to a non-existent network 24/7.
I have sharp memory about stuff I actually actively care about when I am not tired.

You may be right, I’m not really disagreeing, I can absolutely stand behind this sentence of yours:

> Where Rust is (somewhat although not entirely) unique is bringing this compartmentalization into a context that (mostly) lacks a runtime and garbage collection

I just think that the model of “breaking down” is different between the two platforms and that might matter for some use cases.

The thing is that code prefetches extremely well due to good branch prediction. On the other hand a cache miss can worsen the misprediction penality.
