"Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make." - Lord Farqaad.
I honestly don't know why there's so much resentment over this point in-thread here. I do understand that in the context of a layoff announcement, it's a little cold.

I worked for a company called Weblinc, we called each other Weblincers - not because it was some cult, and there wasn't company "we're a big family" messaging, although there were many tightly knit social groups among colleagues that formed over the years and continue to exist outside of work. That said, when we productized the platform we'd built and rebranded as Workarea, no one made some tribalized adoption of that name. I hadn't thought of it much, but Workarean doesn't roll off the tongue, and becomes an unfortunate homonym, particularly in southeast Pennsylvania.

I'm sometimes called a number of things that I also call myself: a Philadelphian, a Pennsylvanian, a musician, and currently, a commercetooler. It's not my entire personality, but I think it's a little sociopathic to think the company of people that you work with does not contribute in some way to your identity.
There are a lot of pirate content sites in Russia. I remember one circa 2002 that would let you download MP3's, Ogg's and other music files by the gigabyte.
Thank you for your reply and for your understanding of what I say.

I would say there are 2 independent separate things: the circumstance or what you are using the word true to refer to. True is a property of what is but is separate word and meaning from what is

What is can be ugly. But true the word is not. True is eternal and immune to badness

True is what Is truly, that isn't false.
The what referant or circumstances are independent of the true.

The true is not the same as the what. The what can potentially be outside the true. The what can be ugly.

From the word "true" it doesn't refer to what is not true except by duality (opposite)

The quality of true is beautiful and always good because it is what is and not what is false.

It's not the property of true that is ugly, what is going on is independent of the true.

Some thing bad going on is independent from the property of the property that some thing is going on. True refers to the absence of falseness.

In other words, the externality of what is going on is going on is beautiful, separate and independent of the not good.

Your scenario is unpleasant and not good but the scenario is independent from the idea you can be sure of the truth. Knowing you can be sure of the truth is beautiful even if the referant of the truth is ugly.

True cannot be made wet by what it refers to.

Said another way, why do people think ugly overrides the beauty of true rather than the other way round, true overrides the beauty of the ugly. It's a precedence thing.
I don't want to put down their achievements but I somewhat agree with you. And doing free work for a corporation the size of apple that could've just supported Linux from the start. I don't think it's a waste of life necessarily, but it is a shame.
I decided I wanted to get more deeply into kayaking this year, after having fantasized about becoming a regular kayaker for many years. Part of that process has been to start taking classes with a certified instructor. Even from our level one class, I realize there was probably a lot that I should have known but didn't during my casual paddle-abouts.

The video calls out reckless marketing by Oru, and after watching, I'm inclined to agree. I'm building a wooden kayak right now using plans by Nick Schade from Guillemot Kayaks, and by contrast, his plans include a dense couple of pages on safety beginning with:

"Going out on the water in a small boat is always going to be risky. The waters of the United States kill about 100 paddlers every year. A trip out on the water should never be taken lightly. Of those people that die, over 80% of them are not wearing a life jacket or Personal Flotation Device (PFD). Wearing an appropriate PFD is the single easiest thing you can do for your own self-protection. Wearing the PFD is the key. Wearing an appropriate life jacket is comfortable and cheap insurance. Many paddlers die with the life jacket strap to the deck. They never have the time or ability to put it on after they've fallen in the water. It is extremely difficult to put on a PFD when you are already on in the water. When you need a life jacket it should already be on."

I live in Seattle, which means I'll be paddling on Puget Sound. I really don't know how self rescue happens in those Oru kayaks, but I think I'd be pretty nervous in one without a wetsuit and PFD as a bare minimum. (One nit to pick about the video: it calls out a couple drinking wine in kayaks on Puget Sound—in actuality they were stupidly drinking wine, not on Puget Sound, but on Lake Union, which is not nearly as cold as Puget Sound.)
Well for one, I don’t want to add another language to my tool chain. Many languages can compile C directly. For instance in Swift or Go you can add C source files directly to your project and have them compile as part of your Swift or Go build. You can’t do that with Rust or C++.

C is the lingua franca of the software development world.

I'm saddened to see you downvoted. I do not agree with the examples you've made but I agree with the general idea of your comment.

In our thirst for a more progressive society, we've created an artistically dull culture that is afraid to offend, and there can be no beauty if one isn't allowed to say fuck the rules. Punk died at the turn of the millennium, and we're all a bunch of posers now.

I don't see why they would ever package GPT2 (the bigger model) in the browser.

Speech to text has higher chances though, that's an interesting idea, as they already package text to speech too.

Slai (YC W22) is hiring an SRE to solve low-level GPU scaling challenges
Some companies would organically begin referring to themselves by a name.

This was noticed as an indicator of a good corporate culture.

So of course it becomes a metric and is then forced on everyone.

This is why the best "employee group names" are HR-unsafe. That's how you know they're real.
When I worked for Lucent many moons ago, they hired an external consultant to do the layoffs. Word soon got round that if you got a desk call from a specific meeting room it’d be bad news, from 2 other meeting rooms it’d be good news.

I volunteered, so it was different for me, but the least they could have done was get direct management (in conjunction with HR) to do it. The working relationships & office culture were good enough to do it.

I guess it’s just one of those things that somebody will always complain about. Meta got a good kicking for laying people off, but that package they gave was amazing, for example.

It's been well over a decade since I've seen that kind of behavior. Storage devices became much lower latency and the kernel swapper got much smarter.

That wouldn't be bad at all, but at the same time we are facing a humanistic crisis too. We don't respect the gods to create things for them, and we don't respect the people to create things for them.

I think the vitriol is more tied to the founder model of get as big as you can, as fast as you can, by hiring as many as you can, so that the valuations keep getting bigger and bigger so you can cash out. Then you cut loose all the people you know you didn’t actually need.

That was certainly part of it, as was the industrial revolution, but consider the auditorium building built by sullivan in 1889:

There is still a strong connection with the historical aesthetics in it. The lead up to WW1, in the edwardian era, featured a move towards stripped down classicism, but the real break in my mind happened during WW1/2, and particularly post WW2.

Except for land itself, all of those things have become exponentially cheaper in the last few decades. That is, cheaper to make. Housing in particular is kept artificially scarce, largely due to its role as a financial instrument.
> […] switching between say Polish and English reading is a bit easier/faster mentally.

How so? Specifically with Polish «szcz», «cz» and «ź» – for which English has no approximants; with the devilish «y» and with «ą» and «ę» causing the consonant mutation.

It is akin to saying that Welsh «ymddwyn» or Icelandic «hvort» are easy to mentally switch to by virtue of both making use of the same alphabet that English does. Good luck getting a unsuspecting English speaker to mentally grasp the Polish «szlachta».

Simpler RISC designs, like simpler ARM cores, more or less directly execute instructions; same for old 8-bit cores you can still widely find in MCUs. Complex high-performance cores, with pipelining, instruction fusion, and OoO execution, turn instruction stream into a microcode lava.

I'm talking about the EU part of your nonsense. I don't follow that Biden-Ukraine stuff. All i know is that there is still no proof for that and the only people whining about his alleged "corruption" are known to project their own corrupt ways onto others.

What i do see all the time here in Germany, are a bunch of bots and funny accounts with random numbers artificially pushing primarily far right topics on Twitter trends and other social media. And that is a problem indeed. As we have seen with those incidents, like that guy at a gas station being shot in the face for demanding the customer to wear a mask...
Well, FWIW, Jetblue just bought Spirit and will spend most of its time converting Spirit planes to its seating and business model.

(Why not just build more planes? Airbus is backlogged for years, and there aren't enough pilots. Spirit is a package deal in that sense.)
Oh, dynamic "typing" in the kernel. As a safety measure. Cool. Didn't know that.
It seems like the disagreement is between what makes data anonymous.

If I write a letter and don't sign it. It's anonymous. Someone could use a corpus of my text and infer I wrote it. That doesn't mean I didn't write anonymously.

I could make 2 updates to 2 tables and then end result would be that having both tables wouldn't let you correlated the data with submitters.

Yes if you control every aspect of the process you can lie to people. Thats not the point. If you think someone is lying to you to harm you why would you interact with them?

> So if you, watching from a safe distance, attempt to witness my fall into the hole, you'll see me fall more and more slowly as the light delay increases. You'll never see me actually get to the event horizon. My watch, to you, will tick more and more slowly, but will never reach the time that I see as I fall into the black hole. Notice that this is really an optical effect caused by the paths of the light rays.

> This is also true for the dying star itself. If you attempt to witness the black hole's formation, you'll see the star collapse more and more slowly, never precisely reaching the Schwarzschild radius.

I don't understand everything but it seems that the falling guy tends towards the event horizon, getting slower and slower relative to the observer, and never reaching it from the observer's point of view?

Edit: this applies when observing something falling into the black hole. It doesn't apply to faraway objects that deviate because of the black hole's gravity well, so we can observe most of a black hole's effects.

> part 1, interoperability failure/incompatibility: nat64+dns64 has been viable since 2008

Why are we stuck with nat in 2022 again? Why did we not map the 32 bits of ipv4 to ipv6?

> part 2, incoherence: dual-stack was the transition plan, & was clearly communicated from the start (to anyone who listened).

Perhaps they didn't listen because dual stack means investing in building another incompatible internet on ipv6 in parallel with the ALREADY WORKING ipv4 internet. Reminds me of a great quote: "the most dangerous enemy of a better solution is an existing codebase that is just good enough." - Eric S Raymond

> part 3, distractions: one could argue that rants like "ipv6mess" are the biggest distractions to ipv6 deployment.

Because it is a mess. Stop denying that. If ipv6 was designed to be easily deployed via backwards compatibility then we would be using ipv6 already.
But like, who at this point is not cynical enough to fall for this? I guess brand new college grads.

When I worked at Amazon, it was all "Amazonians" like I'm supposed to feel some kind of kinship with the 1 million+ people who work there. Plus the cheap branded clothing. Ugh.
Arguably it's more of translation layer not abstraction. You're not abstacting away any concepts or code blocks here, you still have to write every single instruction, you just get a bit of a help with math.
The main problem with the naive solution is not the overflow, but the undefined behavior caused by it in C.

If overflows are allowed, like in Rust, you could implement this by representing X and y with two ints each and doing mini big integer arithmetic on them.

This article asks important questions about Musk's "freedom of speech within the bounds of the law" line. He should make clear that this refers to first amendment jurisprudence and not to foreign censorship demands.

While framing the watching of a movie as "serious" is probably a bit much I do agree that going to the cinema is a great exercise in focus. The whole place is setup for watching movies and when I'm there I feel engrossed in a way that doesn't happen at home for me.
At home everything I watch sort of blurs together into a smear of "content". I can think back on the things I've watched and I do have favorites but I don't have the same visceral memories I have for movies I've seen in the theater. I remember where I was, who I was with, and all the feelings the movie conjured up.

It is certainly less convenient than streaming at home and does cost more but I get the same amount (at least) of entertainment in the moment and the memories are certainly more vivid. That has to be worth something?

Over the past year I have bought a lot more from other sellers such as Walmart and Target because they can still get them to me in two or three days with no extra charge (if you meet the low free ship limit).

I've also had Amazon claim two day delivery on an item only to change to five days so as to include with another item out of the same warehouse - after the order has been placed showing that they are to be delivered on different dates. I'm at the point where I will now place future orders seperately if they are not same est. delivery date.

But what about the children?

A movie in a theater was great for early stage dating. It gets you in a dark place in neutral territory with the other person where you sort of have some privacy but still public enough that it is safe, and you have a good excuse for sitting right next to them.

There you can do things that try to inch up the intimacy but with plausible deniability, such as the classics we've all seen a billion movies and TV shows like hand touching while reaching into a shared extra large popcorn ("it was a better deal than buying two smaller sizes...yeah, that's why we have to share!") or the arms resting on the back of the seat that sort of turns into a side hug.

I don't think that would work with movies at home. It is not neutral territory. There might be parents, or worse, obnoxious siblings around limiting privacy or even actively trying to see how your date is going. For the person who is the guest it isn't as safe as a theater. There isn't an excuse to sit right next to each other so the arm trick is out. You probably each have your own bag of microwave popcorn.
I'm not sure if the sociological experiment that the author conducted was really immersive enough to produce a good take on the subculture. It's fairly obvious this was intended along the lines of Hunter S. Thompson's "Hell's Angels" - which may have spawned an entire genre of sub-culture literature (I don't know if Thompson really originated it or not, there may be earlier examples, perhaps Zora Neale Hurston). The theme is pretty consistent: a writer inserts self into subculture, gets the full experience, writes magazine articles/books that others can gawk at.

Maybe this particular subculture is just fairly boring and shallow, mostly fabricated by moneyed interests (NFTs...) and there's just not much to say about it? Kind of sad, has the USA turned into a cultural wasteland?
>When I was growing up you never posted your photo online where strangers could see it.

When was that? For those over 40, when they grew up there was no "online".

And if one was a kid or teenager growing up the the mid to late nineties, people had personal websites and online photos of themselves up regularly, and it wasn't considered much.

You didn't have regular snaps of your life, or pictures of the food you ate, like later, but you could well have your picture and nobody would consider it strange. Heck, even university professors and professionals of all kinds had personal and business pages with their photos on...
>I thought assembly mapped 1-to-1 with actual HW instructions.

Assembly encodes a wide varity of abstractions (it is a human readable format after all) and lots of assembly instructions have a clear relation to an instruction on the hardware, but definitely not all.
E.g. a CPU does not understand what a "label" is and the semantics of a labels and jumping to them is removed by the assembler.

But not even the assembled binary actually maps to executed instructions. The CPU is actually a virtual machine which presents itself as e.g. an x86 ISA interpreter, but internally it uses microcode executed in various performance enhancing ways to speed up the process.
