> This triggered mass adoption of phone payment apps,

I worked in the digital payments industry at that time. The sectoral growth was unprecedented during that period. Between Oct 2016 and Jan 2017, transaction value went up 40 times!

> UPI payments went from $1.5B in October 2016, to $10B the following month.

I stand corrected. The point I was trying to make was that it grew 600% that month, as opposed to 10-20% otherwise. To reach 140B today.

> Ah, the endless queues, the needless suffering, the lost jobs and destroyed lives, all made up for by the fact that the urban middle class now has the convenience of UPI!

It's not the urban middle class alone who have benefitted. People asking for handouts have UPI ids these days. $1.7T will flow through UPI over the next 12 months, even if you assume it stays at current levels. Credit cards would not have worked in India (if you leave out the wealthy), but UPI does.

> Which to repeat myself, did not require bringing the economy to a fucking standstill. And limitations on value of cash transactions aren't a new idea and predate demonetization.

The point is that transformation to a digital economy needs to be kick started. It'll take forever otherwise (if you study how various countries have done).

> Kick starting India's digital economy did not require bringing the physical economy to a fucking standstill.

a) How do you know, given that there's no precedent?

b) India still registered decent growth in 2016 and 2017. Economy wasn't in an "effing standstill".
CA WARN Act is 60 days notice, and does not allow pay-in-lieu (you can keep people on payroll with full benefits but bo duties for the notice period, but that’s different than pay-in-lieu.)

> Interesting they are paying the cash equivalent of 6 months of healthcare, rather than just extending healthcare for 6 months

Given COBRA, that is practically the same thing, but gives the employee more choice (it also provides finality to the employer, who doesn’t keep a declining liability on the balance sheet, doesn’t risk having to deal with problems for the ex-employees payments after the one lump sum exit check, etc.)
Oh, I know, and agree, and i should have said horrendous to explain to others not familiar with it.

I mean they use multiple letters for a sound (or diacritics which is neater in my opinion) is all I'm saying, like modern english does for voiced and unvoiced "th" whereas older germanic had eth and thorn glyphs, and iceland still uses them.
My grandma went to San Antonio to visit one time and said of the Alamo, "This looks like a warehouse. We have furniture at home that is older, prettier, and has been through more wars than this".

She's right, too. I did not translate her comment to English for my local friends though!

One of the things any tour of London will talk about is how up to his eyeballs in work Christopher Wren was after the London Fire. His concession to get more work done for everyone lining up for a new cathedral was that he wouldn’t build you a bell tower. Most (all?) of the bell towers on his post-fire churches were added on later in his life once things calmed down.

My shitty router also firewalls incoming IPv6 connections by default, unless I manually allow them per-device, so I don't get your point.

OpenAI chat uses GPT-3 which, as some other user already pointed out, is not even close to GPT-2 in terms of generating text
I believe a lot of mobile traffic to services like facebook/netflix/youtube use IPv6. That's a large percentage of internet traffic. And that allows telcos to NAT more customers onto fewer ipv4 addresses.
good point, but there is no soft-sign and hard-sign of Cyrillic in (for example) English characters, so it's not quite isomorphic.
It doesn't strike me as the best language for embedding SQLite given the need to constantly cross the Cgo boundary. But I'm sure it still works fine.

American old is as old as the people who have lived here- there are still signs of the native americans who lived here and built massive civilizations. The cave dwellings in Mesa Verde were populated around 1190. THere are signs of civilization from 700CE. If the europeans hadn't killed almost all the natives, some of those locations may still have people living in them.
> "Gamblers losing money" may give people the impression that this was something other than a custodian stealing their funds

Most people aren't bothered by this. It's interesting to those of us in tech and finance. But it's irrelevant to most Americans, who were protected by regulation from doing business with FTX. (Being defrauded and losing assets in hacks are well-established crypto loss modes.)

If the tool is "$x, but with pretty colors", there's a good chance they are not safe to use in pipelines. It's distressingly common for colored output to be sent even when piped.
As someone in the tri community… literally everyone knows people who have died while biking. A guy at our local club, another guy down the road. Not to mention the 30 people that have been hit but not killed (some minor, some life altering).

To go out there and bike 200+ miles a week for many months is toying with disaster. There’s a reason almost all pros only cycle indoor..,

That doesn't make it beautiful but an engineering feat.
I didn't read the article tbh but the comment I replied to implied they used fake social media profiles which makes sense and would be prevented by what I suggested. The scammers would need to make a profile on a website you're familiar with and if those websites guarantee that a profile is who they say they are by law then all these problems go away. Doesn't matter if someone outside the system gets your photos
sqlite3 is a single core application, so even if you have multiple cores on a box, sqlite3 isn't going to take advantage of that. If you want sqlite3 to go faster, you need better single core box. That being said, I do believe sqlite3 allow multiple processes to read the same database file.

Our django app sits behind Gunicorn that will spin up multiple django instances, as long as Sqlite3 has WAL mode on, concurrent access (read) isn't a problem. For write, we basically use a lock.
I did not know, but am not surprised, that Palladium takes Thiel funding. That greatly clarifies this article’s purpose for me. It seemed odd to see another think piece about the NFT trend when it has already largely burned itself out, but Davis here is acting as something of a “party whip” for Thiel’s nascent political movement. The message of the article is much more aimed at the people being described in the article than it is at you or I: be less like these insipid Twitter personalities, be more like JD Vance and Blake Masters.
I'm not interested in acting as a career at all, but I realized I'd love to try playing in local theater. How do I get in with no/low (I once read 'an actor preparss') background? Last I looked at it the local place was a bunch of people who went to school and had credentials. As far as starting my own, I'm worried there would be too many who would join and make a farce* out of it instead of striving for a serious, if amateur, effort.

*it's okay and ideal to have fun, but I've seen too many amateur bands/art projects/films/etc veer off due to members dismissing things 'cuz it's not for real' and just turning the effort into a hang-out
Well this is awkward…

“One of the C.I.A.'s first major ventures was broadcasting, Although long suspected, it was reported definitively only a few years ago that until 1971 the agency supported both Radio Free Europe, which continues, with private financing, to broadcast to the nations of Eastern Europe, and Radio Liberty, which is beamed at the Soviet Union itself.

The C.I.A.'s participation in those operations was shielded from public view by two front groups, the Free Europe Committee and the American Committee for Liberation, both of which also engaged in a variety of lesser‐known propaganda operations.“

That's not necessarily a catastrophe: "The FTX loss amounts to less than 0.05% of the pension plan’s total net assets and it remains in a financially strong position, according to a statement on the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan website." But, still, that's a lot of people who didn't think/know they were invested in FTX... but they were.
I'm not even going to read this article because the typesetting is total garbage. How can I take someone speaking on aesthetics seriously when they're trying to convey their message in such an aesthetically broken way?

Also a lot of brutalism haters in this thread, brutalism fucks fam. Y'all clearly don't have enough fond memories of growing up in soviet apartment blocks to understand what's beautiful.

(though to be slightly less tongue in cheek, pressure to be hypercompetitive on price and corporate governance structures are the things that beget most of the ugly I see in my day to day life)
More down-to-earth and simplistic answer: the classless society (Socialism and derivates like Social democracy) with the need to provide reasonable housing for the masses and the spread of industrial concrete[0] took us to the optimal solution: the concrete box.

Once Alvaro Siza (Pritzker prize) was asked if his architecture was minimalist. He answered (paraphrasing): "No, it's just a minimalism of costs".

From wikipedia[1]:

"During World War I, Le Corbusier taught at his old school in La-Chaux-de-Fonds. He concentrated on theoretical architectural studies using modern techniques. In December 1914, along with the engineer Max Dubois, he began a serious study of the use of reinforced concrete as a building material. He had first discovered concrete working in the office of Auguste Perret, the pioneer of reinforced concrete architecture in Paris, but now wanted to use it in new ways."

"Le Corbusier saw the new society founded in the Soviet Union after the Russian Revolution as a promising laboratory for his architectural ideas. He met the Russian architect Konstantin Melnikov during the 1925 Decorative Arts Exposition in Paris, and admired the construction of Melnikov's constructivist USSR pavilion, the only truly modernist building in the Exposition other than his own Esprit Nouveau pavilion. At Melnikov's invitation, he travelled to Moscow, where he found that his writings had been published in Russian; he gave lectures and interviews and between 1928 and 1932 he constructed an office building for the Tsentrosoyuz, the headquarters of Soviet trade unions."

I really respect this take -- and also kind of don't like it at the same time?

Basically, I don't do "mission critical" Linux things. I teach IT and I hack around on my own boxes with scripts and stuff because it's fun and useful to me. I'm always on the lookout for the hooks and such that can get more and different people into Linux.
You are correct, in that those are the four

My understanding is that the AMX is more tightly wound with the CPU, ultimately being accessible via an instruction set (https://github.com/corsix/amx), and it is useful if you need to do matrix multiplications interleaved with other CPU tasks. A common example would be a VIO loop or something where you want that data in the CPU caches.

The GPU and Neural Engine are not that – they take some time to set up and initialize. They also can parallelize tasks to a much higher degree. The GPU is more generalizable, because you can write compute shaders to do anything in parallel, but it uses a lot of resources. I'll have to check out the PR to see how exactly the MPS implementation matches up with the task at hand, because you could also consider writing Metal compute shaders by hand. Even if the performance is not much better, the CPU is free to do other things.

I know the least about the ANE, but it has specific hardware for running ML models, and you have to process the weights ahead of time to make sure they are in the right format. It can run ML models very efficiently and is the most battery friendly.
I don't "like children" either because I'm a masculine person by nature and I don't have the baby loving gene, but it's a special thing to have a child with a woman you love. I grew to love my kids even though initially it's just a really odd thing to have a newborn in the house. Having kids changes you. It's especially transformative for women.

I hope one day you find a woman you love and have kids and a happy family, perhaps even giving them a more loving home than the one you grew up in yourself.

Sure, as long as you're ok with having a constantly changing prefix. At least that's how it is for home connections and it nullifies nearly all the benefits of v6.
One of the ideas of ipv6 was to reduce routing tables, those tables that backbone providers have to keep in memory and look up for incoming traffic. With ipv4's fragmented allocation scheme, these routing tables are huge. With ipv6, even huge companies like amazon only have a couple of global allocations. A "ipv4 with more octets" scheme would have kept that fragmentation around.

That being said, Amazon currently has 2880 ipv4 allocations and 946 ipv6 allocations... not much gained I guess? :p https://asnlookup.com/asn/AS16509/

Also, there are definitely some horrible ipv6 warts, like that the only standard for local ipv6 addresses forces you to adopt a scheme where your local address is horribly long, for the sake of global uniqueness, which is something that most people don't really need.
That's some other mental model.

Apple made beautiful products to become the most valuable company in the world.
There are plenty of good film critics and film reviewers. I'm actually pretty happy about that. It's just that they're all on places like Youtube, or Letterboxd, among others. Ebert commanded attention and ultimately became the go-to reviewer to reference because he had a major newspaper column and one of the only film review television shows, but now there are so many options that nobody can really be that anymore.

While there are plenty of good critics and reviewers, there are even more terrible ones. But that's just the basic problem of content on the internet recapitulating itself.
I miss the old NIC names, but for systems with multiple NICs the old way would name them differently based on the winner of the init race. It often felt deterministic, but was not.

I've had critical systems fail on reboot because the NICs swapped names so WAN port got configured as LAN and vice versa. That can also create a terrifying security problem too
It does seem like a bit much, but it's definitely better than the former state where none of that stuff existed, as far as Hollywood was concerned. I imagine it'll equilibrate over the next few decades.
While I think this would effectively move the needle, as soon as they announce that this is going to happen, I am guessing heart monitors, ankle brace companies (people in home jail) and a slew of weird other use cases will pop up as major problems and the effort will fail.
Oldie but a goodie.
> sickening how these people are portrayed as "destined to do great things" all over the media

I'm critical of the non-financial press presenting FTX as anything but a fraud. But this piece is far from flattering. Ellison was exceptional. She was then ruined by crypto. This is run of the mill for human interest pieces.
What's with the attacks??

I make sure what I build supports IPv6 (and I'll use tunnels if it's what it takes) but I can't make the only cable ISP available at my place support IPv6. I wish it did. I wish I didn't have to use its garbage hardware.
Arguably many "Oscar movies" are not that great. There are often good films nominated but I am always surprised to look back post-1980s or 90s and see how many fairly mediocre films, many of which have since receded from critical awareness, have won "Best Picture"

i would guess there's still a large majority of americans, esp in the intellectual/managerial/upper classes, who believed and still believe all the 'free trade' stuff -- the dynamism and creative energy of capitalism, etc.

if i had to put a number on it, prob 95% of people in the upper 10% of income/wealth in america believe all the standard myths about capitalism and free trade and competive advantage, etc. and 99% of VC-types.

chomsky always says how the countries that do best mimic what we do instead of what we tell them to do.

there's a reason people like matt y and ezra k and myriad others get so highly paid -- they have to write and speak complete nonsense on a daily basis. they prob even believe what they're saying sometimes. how could they not? the cognitive disonance would be too much for anyone.
I think providers would put that suggestion directly into the round bin. Internet mass-media companies need to be discoverable in a search engine.

Genuinely curious, then why not leave it be? It's just a joke as you admitted, with no ill intentions, based on a stereotype that's mostly based in reality. Stem fields are mostly sausage fests. It's also quite a stretch framing it as "exclusionary", it's a self deprecating joke.

I think many misunderstand/misinterpret abstraction with magic. Abstraction is naming things that share common properties and structures.

Magic is expensive because it adds debts in debugging.

Non-abstraction is also expensive because it adds debts in development and refactoring.

Good abstraction pays later, it reduces debts, but you need to buy it first. It's not expensive if it's well produced and consumed.
That is exactly the problem with the narrative. It is portraying her as the victim. As if she wasn't one of the chief architects of it all.

Manage a fleet of at least 15k systems here, I enjoy systemd at times

Other times, like oomd, I just want it to get out of the way.

Service dependencies are an area I love. With systemd making a service robust around dependencies like mounts and other services is a cake walk.

If you have manual hand-holding processes on services running under systemd, I suggest looking into supplying these kinds of directives.

- Requires / Wants
- Before / After
- PartOf

I'm torn for networkd. The configuration of interfaces is nice and simple, I've grown to like the link, netdev, network concepts/files.

However, forwarding is significantly different. I'd think twice about using it on a system doing NAT/masq
There is no “backwards compatible with IPv4”. If you have to modify the existing packet headers, you no longer have backward compatibility. If you change anything involving how a flow is identified (like the source/address destinations and ports) then you have broken backward compatibility. Firewalls need to understand new address formats, routers need to understand new address formats, end systems need to understand new address formats, BGP needs to be extended to support new address formats.

IPv6 is perfectly viable and it is in many ways cleaner than IPv4 is. It’s just that transition is expensive and apathy is easy.
Yeah, I guess I can understand that. I work from home and I hardly ever drive. Honestly I'd prefer that public transportation was better so that I didn't need a car at all.

I think you missed the scientific papers he cited at the end.

Your comments read overly cynical.
Hell, even it could be right, chatGPT or the blog post but in tech/programming breaking changes happen and updates to frameworks so it could be giving you react 17 advice not react 18, etc.
I wouldn't necessarily say they're based on science since I don't really think there's enough concrete science on wormholes to say what they would look like precisely (although Interstellar did put some effort into visual accuracy: https://cerncourier.com/a/building-gargantua/).

My reasoning is that just like a circle is formed on a 2d surface when 'bridging' two parts of it (the pencil through folded paper analogy), a bridge on a 3d surface should have a sphere as the hole (or maybe since it's technically a space-time bridge, it should be a hypersphere, which would still appear as a sphere to us 3d observers). Then, to not tear apart anything going through, it'd need to conserve 'symmetry' (so something that goes in comes out unchanged), so the light would go through unchanged, making it just appear like the view of the other side is mapped to the surface.
