Exactly. This isn't really that difficult to figure out that untangling a giant ponzi and money laundering scheme is several orders of magnitude more complex than assault.
where is it cited?
I don't agree with that at all; it is "the sky might fall" reasoning.

Just

* have sane naming in your program.

* respect namespaces like _[A-Z] and __

* solve clashes that actually happen

Historically, revisions of POSIX have introduced identifiers that were not in any previously announced namespace. There is no way you can name an identifier that is guaranteed not to clash with POSIX, or any other vendor. For instance the name "openat" was fine to use in a POSIX program once upon a time.

Consider that all strings have the empty string as a suffix. The string "abc" has four suffixes: "abc", "bc", "c" and "".

So, every current and future POSIX identifier has "" as a suffix. This is not just a threat; it is guaranteed! Since every identifier in your program also has a "" suffix, it clashes with that namespace.

What's wrong with the argument is that identifiers don't just have a suffix; they have to be identical in order to actually clash. (Or have identical prefixes, due to truncation of external names in a linker: decades ago, the limits were ridiculously small.)

I doubt that even one person in POSIX standardization would be dumb enough to approve str_t being added as a typedef name in some existing or new header, and multiple approvals are required.

Nobody should be losing any sleep over using _t typedef names in their C code.
Lol to your last question. Absolutely ridiculous thing to even ask. Have you seen the internet?
I wasn't trying to claim that the USSR was the sole contributor to the defeat of the fascists, sorry if it sounded like that.

I just wanted to make a pretty strong example of the winners rewriting history and how this propaganda becomes fact for the society.

I'm sure everyone here agrees that it's good that the fascists lost the war and that the USA enabled Europe to stay democratic. It was a very brutal period of time in which human life was sadly undervalued.
It's silly to complain not all launchers provide same features like Nova launcher by your logic. Nova launcher has option for No wallpaper only with black color, no selectable solid color.

It's feature YOU are missing, some launchers have it, some don't, nobody stops you from installing launcher which has features you desire. But you don't have to even do it since there are simple workarounds how to set solid black home screen, take photo with covered lens, download black pixel, crop screenshot, etc.

If they added option for no picture and chose black for no picture you would complain why they don't provide color picker.

Should I flood random Android threads threads and complain you can't even select multiple threads in Signal to archive/delete them at once? I remember when they did same with photos, you could send only one at once. Should I blame my Android phone for something stupid Signal does? I could just use WhatsApp which has such basic feature. Blame dumb launcher you use, not the phone.
Came here to mention Virgil, glad someone beat me to it. =)

It's truly amazing how much can be gleaned from a perusal of the edit history for a page from the beginning. I assume much goes undetected.
I agree that it's not simple, if that's part of what you are saying. Which makes it such a problem in my view. I look at the principle more than the specifics, and another entity deciding what I as an adult am allowed to interact with, that is one of the central stumbling blocks for me. I have a very strong desire for autonomy, and that includes coming to my own conclusions.

What's good for society as a whole seems a lot more difficult to answer.

This way or that way, I'm not sure most or even many supporters of this kind of access control think its consequences through to such an extent that they would have formed an opinion that I would consider well-founded.
>management is the best path to money, competence and effort be damned

Basically every German company ever. ICs be dammed.
It is important to read that table correctly.

It does not say "98.47% of Twitter donated to Dems".

Rather it says: "Of the $968,749 contributions made by employees of Twitter, 98.47% of those contributions went to Dems."

It says nothing about the number of people making those donations and thus nothing about the percent of the employees that made those contributions.

(edit)

It is also fun to extend that table to 2016 and before:

Does anyone else regularly experience a form of compliance test as far as the shoes on-off or the laptop in or out of the bag? I fly way more than I would like, so I figure I can memorize the procedure by just reading the TSA website or something.

The interesting thing is, they almost always subtly modify the procedure in some way. Sometimes I can keep my shoes on. Sometimes the laptop can stay in the bag. In some cases, two agents in the same exact line give contradictory instructions.
I would posit that installing an open UEFI implementation and taking advantage of the A) Cost and B) ridiculously good power saving features of a used Chromebook with the OS of your choice is a good Chromebook use.

But as a stock laptop I get your point.
A lot of IC historically become managers not because they particularly care about doing performance reviews but because they want more influence and to work at a larger scale. This leads to a situation of people managers who care less about managing people than managing delivery and technology strategy. The best of those also have a lot of empathy and inadvertently are good at people management.

Another reason, often related in my experience, is a lot of companies careers plateau for ICs pretty early on. Your comp stops growing beyond COLA, titles exhaust, and despite being young you’re at a terminal career velocity. The only thing way to break up is to become management. This isn’t surprising - who controls promotion and comp other than managers, and why on earth wouldn’t they structure things to reward themselves and people like them? There are many companies that have recognized this and created IC paths parallel to management, at least up to the C level. However the relative difficulty in achieving them is disproportionately weighted against the IC vs manager. At Amazon there’s a crap ton of VP and Director managers. But it’s absurdly hard to get senior principal or distinguished engineer. The rationale is they want to keep the prestige of the level high for IC. But that’s weird - the prestige of the same level in management must therefore be low and why is the bar different for the same level if you’re managing vs building?

Get the fuck out of here. FIGHT THEM ON ALL FRONTS. Don't listen to the tool.
Perhaps Gnome Terminal is using gio open instead of xdg-open. Running `gio open file://something-else/home` opens /home, apparently just completely ignoring the authority part. Theoretically including the host name is good because you can handle remote machines, but in practice I’m not sold on it because here we have one major tool ignoring it (actively bad!) and another major tool not supporting it (less bad, but less convenient), and there’s no standard accepted way of interpreting/opening a file: URL with an authority anyway. (Windows treats it as SMB and can do something provided it actually is that, but it won’t be, so it can’t. I don’t know of any other OS having any convention at all. Just tried it in a couple of browsers under Linux, Firefox actively discards the authority part, Chromium keeps it and works if it’s localhost or 127.0.0.1 or such, but says ERR_INVALID_URL if it’s something else.)
That looks really good. P.s CodeMirror is awesome, by far the best editor plug-in on the web
It would sound less surprising if we had chosen a different naming convention for dimensions. Then we'd refer to "Dimension -1" as "Dimension 0". It's not like the math would change.
eh? Fauci never killed puppies. Neuralink actually tortured and killed monkeys, so I don't get the joke.
For me, it's distribution and convenience. I don't have to apply for permission and certification on multiple app stores, no scary popups that my app is untrusted, no worry about dependencies or permission to install locally, just point people to a url on any device and run.
I think this is wrong and is an unhealthy way to look at management. Comparing workers to kids is.. not defensible.
AI bubble coming!
I continue to be surprised that nobody has started marketing a browser (complete with accessibility features, internationalization, etc) that’s built in WASM.

I can imagine any number of media companies who would love to continue using their current web-dev pipeline but, by walling access to their servers off to this “trusted” WASM browser, could be reasonably assured that users aren’t using ad blockers, archive bots, etc. It’s the next logical extension of those ridiculous scripts that you used to see, popping up a “Access denied” message on a right-click because the website owner wanted to limit “view source”. The kind of numbskull who would do that would love a WASM-based browser.
> I am aware of the fact that information control is a central part of any power structure setup, and I assume that too many people lack the skills, the option, and even the desire to deeply and meaningfully engage with most topics, but I'd still love to be part of a society where ideas and opinions can be freely and respectfully shared and debated.

the covid fiasco happened a few years ago. people were fired and some were imprisoned for not towing the line. there were mayors of towns harassing their voters on the streets. the general population was by and large very supportive of the politicians who were imposing restrictions :)

the age of “free and respectful opinions” is gone. see the USA for an extreme example.
I completely disagree with this piece, and I think the author is missing a few key details that lead him wrong.

The author focuses a lot on the trappings of cleverness - the witticisms and the "outsider" nature of the clever individual. This is the wrong thing to focus on. People with conventional ideas today exploit these trappings (with the help of professional marketing and PR teams) to give themselves an air of importance and brilliance. It's no surprise that when you focus there, you will find cleverness to be "impotent."

Instead, cleverness defined as a cross-disciplinary ("outsider") perspective is incredibly valuable in the modern world. A lot of cleverness comes from people who otherwise seem very boring - they are clever in their specialty and in their own way, but not the supposed "renaissance men" that media personalities seem to be attracted to.

There are VPNs tunneling back to China, search for 翻墙回国 (+ DeepL) and you can find a lot of providers. Those are quite popular for Chinese speaking people outside of China to get access to geoblocked contents (video, music, etc.).

But usually the biggest problem is how to get a Chinese phone number. In China, most apps require you to register with a phone number (+SMS verification), which is your de facto personal identity number.

Back to the topic, I can confirm this for you. Douyin is also serving shit to Chinese children and the Chinese government do "regulate" them. And of course, between STEM content and shit, most Chinese children I have met (well, genius do exist), prefer shit.
Bettercap is very different than Wireshark because it's specificaly built with attacks in mind and it's not just a generic packet sniffer.
I think some people just have a really nice way to put things out there in the wild.

I just fucking killed a fish.

>It's this Libel and Defamation law that has often contributed to the allegations of censorship.

Exactly the same in Austria. Often politicians and even shitty businesses use the libel law to get undesirable negative information about them removed from public spaces

An MP was called a "corrupt traitor" on Facebook and Facebook was forced to remove that comment under the libel law.

Often businesses will force Google, Kununu and other websites where people can leave reviews, to remove the negative ones under the libel law, that even doctor's practices do it.

Basically, your not allowed to air the dirty laundry of the rich and powerful unless you have bulletproof hard evidence, wich you can never really get as the GDPR and other strong privacy laws make legal evidence gathering nearly impossible by individuals.
As a manager, I want to see myself in what he said because I really enjoy writing code and engineering solutions. But honestly , I don’t think the “want to” matters all that much when it comes to management.

I do think many good managers are problem solvers. They are often hands-on, in the thick of ideation and problem-solving.

They have the knowledge necessary to evaluate the competence and solutions submitted by the people being managed. And that knowledge and skill also helps them understand what their reports need to succeed.
what's stunning about it?
As a manager, most of what I do that's good is nearly invisible; when I do clown something, it's usually highly visible.
Its worth clicking and reading this because "designated persons" does not mean what you might assume it to mean. And the "restrictions for" doesnt turn out to mean why you might expect either.

I'm left wondering what "reasonable steps" means. Just DNS blocking?

They're almost inversely related in practise, because accuracy requires understanding of the subtleties, so if you have to explain the accuracy then the audience already doesn't understand the subtleties, and if they don't understand the subtleties it's usually because they don't find them interesting.

The above is also an example.

If you pick this route don't ever under any circumstances raise equity. Raising equity means creating a scenario where the most skilled politician gets what they want, including total dilution of less skilled politicians.

Stick with debt + reinvesting FCF. It's an LLC anyway, a vehicle crafted to separate the personal assets from the company's assets.

It's reserved in the same sense that google's style guide 'reserves' struct names starting with a capital letter.

Title is mildly misleading, to say the least.

The blog attempts to solve 3 of 24 (thats 12.5 %) of advent of code 2022,
and if you read along you'll see OP only had success on the first task of day 1, which would make a more correct title as "AI solves 2% of Avent of Code 2022" (assuming 2 tasks each day).

Do note that AoC tends to start with hello-world style tasks and increase in difficulty.
The problem is that "I'm not sure" has only a few synonyms, like "I don't know", but the correct answer to a complex question can phrased in many ways. For instance, "How do owls catch mice?" could be answered by "Researchers in Britain have found...", or "Owls in Europe...", or "Bird claws can be used to...", or "Mice are often found in...", etc. Even if the model "knows" the answer with high probability, it could be that any particular way of expressing that knowledge is less likely than an expression of ignorance.

And besides that technical issue, since a GPT-style model is trained to mimic the training data, it is _supposed_ to say "I don't know" with a certainly probability that reflects how many people commenting on the matter don't know, even when there are other people who do know. That's not what you want in system for answering questions.

The enterprise is fundamentally misguided. A model for predicting the next word as a person might produce it is not a reliable way of obtaining factual information, and trying to "fix" it to do so is bound to fail in mysterious ways - likely dangerous ways if it's actually used as a source of facts.

In contrast, there are many ways that a GPT-style model could be very useful, doing what it is actually trained to do, particularly if the training data were augmented with information on the time and place of each piece of training text. For example, an instructor could prompt with exam questions, to see what mistakes students are likely to make on that question, or how they might misinterpret it, in order to create better exam questions. Or if time and place were in the training data, one could ask for a completion of "I saw two black people at the grocery store yesterday" in Alabama/1910 and California/2022 to see how racial attitudes differ (assuming that the model has actually learned well). Of course, such research becomes impossible once the model has been "fixed" to instead produce some strange combination of actual predictions and stuff that somebody thought you should be told.
Now the matter becomes to identify the unintelligence expected of ChatGTP in its product.

I see a few (e.g. linking 'Kierkegaard' and 'proliferation'), but it would be probably more interesting to do the same on an article presenting some solid argument.

> Pretty good job

Do you think the summary is really structured? Does it present an argument? Does it identify its nodes?

Or is it more like Woody Allen having made that speed-reading course and concluding that War and Peace is about Russia?
We are in a ton of trouble long term. Think about how much of that 750 million is just to feed all the pigs at the trough.

The USS Zumwalt is an even bigger joke if you look it up. 20+ billion and basically a mistake.

Then just think about what China can build all this for in terms of speed and cost. It is game, set, match on a 100 year time frame.
Ah page 12 is pretty bad, try with 28 it's a lot more intelligible.

Yes, while I found El Quijote sounding obnoxious I could understand most of it when I tried reading it. Definitely way too slow so only went a couple of pages in, but agreed I was happy to be able to read it. I wonder whether having literature at this age, and a language that is mostly spoken as it is read, and a pretty unified country contributed to the stability of the Spanish language/pronunciation.
100 at 700 million each? 70 billion dollars?

This program by itself is as large as the economy of Uruguay or Croatia, around the 80th ranked GDP in the world.

Pretty much this.

Taibbi leans left and I don’t but I like reading his articles (despite premises I may not agree with) because he’s at least honest in his arguments and doesn’t try to bury or twist inconvenient facts.
Very cool! What would it take to host this with multiple user accounts on a remote server? I'd love to have a read/write interface for a team of people to use as individual/project documentation. (Ideally also with git functionality so team members could push/pull/merge changes to each other's projects)
I don't own anything Puter-related, no, except for those two apps (since anyone can publish an app on Puter - app names are first-come first-served).

I thought it would be funny, since I got in pretty early, to make an app called Puter that would just load Puter inside. (I initially called it "PuterPuter", but then tested to see if just "Puter" was available. It was. Now both apps exist and do the same thing.)

The "DDoS" is because when you open up either app, it loads up another instance of Puter... which promptly restores your session that has the app open, causing infinite recursion. If the HN hug of death found my comment and each person started infinitely recursing, that's a DDoS.

I believe ent101 (Puter developer) thought I changed the name from one to the other to stop the recursion. I didn't. Both apps just exist. I trust that anyone stupid enough to open that app is also smart enough to close it when they are done. :)
