The situation is even worse here at your SE neighbors. The three nation wide ISPs don't provide working IPv6 at all:

Slovak Telekom (Deutsche Telekom Subsidiary, same as Czech T-Mobile/T-Com) - FTTx, DSL, WISP

Orange (French Orange S.A. subsidiary) - FTTx, DSL, WISP

O2 (The Czech HQ'd PPF owned, not the UK one) - WISP

And even the more regional, but still big, aren't much better.

UPC (Liberty Global subsidiary) - Cable

Antik (Slovak company) - FTTx, Cable, WISP

SWAN (also Slovak company) - DSL, FTTx, WISP

But I have to shout out my dad's ISP, it's called RadioLAN, it's a slovak company, provides WISP and FTTx and also IPv6 to everyone by default. So far the only one I've found. Funny thing is, the peering in our country is handled by two IXs: SIX and NIX both natively supporting IPv6 interconection. If I've messed some terminology or I've outdated info, I'm sorry. As you said, nod to until we live in a very very specific location, we're left with just one ISP, or basically the same one in blue. I'm less than 10km behind the capital's outer borders, yet I have a huge problem getting FTTH ran here. It's literally connected at the both ends of our street, just not here. I've considered doing something about it myself, it's just simply too expensive.
"Imagine walking into a room at night, turning out all the lights and closing the shades. Yet an eerie glow comes from the walls, ceiling, and floor. The faint light is barely enough to see your hands before your face, but it persists. Sounds like a scene out of a scary movie?" No, for astronomers this is the real deal. But looking for something that's close to nothing is not easy."
I can vouch for this one! I've started listening to this one recently and been enjoying it so far. Wide range of topics within Web development and the hosts are very charismatic and welcoming.
Here. I'll come with a different objection.

Everything we see in the Universe outside our own galaxy is static. We don't have enough parallax to actually perceive objects (stars) moving outside our galaxy. Ok, there's an exception, people were able to perceive the movement of one star in one of our satellite galaxies in 2012. That's about it. So, when people talk about galaxy rotation curves, that's based on a sample of one, our own galaxy. Actually, we can plot galaxy rotation curves for other galaxies, but based on indirect evidence, such as the redshift. How accurate is that? Come to think of it, we can't estimate directly the distance to any galaxy beyond and including the Andromeda galaxy. But again, we can estimate indirectly. Only that estimation is based on a stack of estimations each with its own uncertainties.

Now, if you work in the area, stop me right here and tell me you went through that stack of estimates, and check all the uncertainties, and are confident there's no potential error anywhere.

Because, as an outsider, if I do a bit of Bayesian estimation, and I have to choose between the dark matter and the possibility that everything that can be explained with dark matter is actually a result of estimation errors, I'm somewhat on the fence. Every year that the hunt for dark matter brings nothing I'm more inclined to think there's a different explanation out there. Like the frame dragging explanation discussed in [1].

Once a criminal, always a criminal. I don't understand while we allow criminals back into society; if someone chose to commit a crime once, there's no reason to think they won't apply that same calculus again and again.
I’m…old now? Old enough to be shocked how much car prices have gone up. And I follow the industry.

Why, back in my day, you could get a “stripper” model of a truck (my dad’s term for the most-basic-possible model with crank windows and a stick shift) for like $15,000. Now?

https://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/

Good luck getting off the lot for less than $40,000 for a full-size truck.

…though to give Ford some credit here:

https://www.ford.com/trucks/maverick/

They do still sell a truly cheap-and-cheerful truck. Will it tow much? No. Is it going to take you to the bottom of the Grand Canyon or whatever off-road macho fantasy? No. Will it get several bags of mulch back from Home Depot? Absolutely—which is what people actually use trucks for. (If that.)
Ableton is the only thing keeping me on Windows.
That feels like it might be possible, but we would have to stop subsidizing corn in favor of plants with markedly better yields (eg switchgrass). That will require significant political capital.
I'm curious, why would that be the case?
Well, there used to be. The early QIC drives that hooked up to a FDC connector like the 3.5" were pretty ubiquitous in the prosumer world. They eventually transitioned to better tapes/standards, but all worked well and even Windows eventually had native support (via Microsoft Backup). I restored my files off of these tapes 25 years after recording them, so I'm grateful they existed at the right moment in time when drives and floppies would have otherwise failed me. I naively assumed in modern times LTO must be dirt cheap due to decades of competition, but it never came to be.
I don't like Marxism but it shouldn't come across as me simply disliking Marxism. I've provided plenty of ideas supporting why I disagree with both Marx and you that you are more than welcome to respond to (so far, you've chosen not to).

Your original comment was worthwhile responding to, but the rest have largely been performative rhetoric. If you don't have any actual refutations to my ideas, then please refrain from responding at all.
Thanks! OpenDroneMap is an awful lot of fun to use, I got into it when making models with a DJI Mini Pro 3.

Wow that is some awesome software! I know OpenDroneMap does have a library of lenses but it doesn't seem to be able to detect the GoPro Fusion. I can't find the code with the presets right now, but https://docs.opendronemap.org/arguments/camera-lens/ is the documentation for selecting the lens type.

My understanding is that if it can't find a lens preset it's not an issue; it will instead figure out the lens geometry which it also can output. I haven't tinkered with the code though and I'm still getting to know the software!
Thank you for the nuanced assessment, I would tend to disagree still.
Windows has always been like that though. I remember switching to Linux full time back when XP was first released because I hated the direction Microsoft were going. The complaints people make now aren’t any different from the complaints I was making 20+ years ago.
I agree at a gut level with this. Do you have a source that this is more widely believed? I would like to bring this to my tech lead.
What about VSTs? They won't all work on Linux.
Those features are annoying, I agree, but they're also a checkbox away from being disabled. Less time than it took you to write this rant.
I think Comcast "wins" the most evil here just because they have a monopoly on broadband in many areas, so overcharge their customers for substandard service, then they turn around and use the monopsony of Internet access to those customers to charge for peering.

At least Cogent charges low prices for their shit.
Yep. Every tiny dust particle makes an audible pop, while an actual stylus would've just pushed it out of the groove.

Ghost in the Shell (1995) 7.9/10 IMDb 95% Rotten Tomatoes 4/5 Letterboxd

Amazing how much it was able to get right while coming out in the same year consumer did, and the philosophical questions it asked continue to be relevant. I rewatch it every year. It's available for free with ads on Youtube, in Japanese with subtitles, which is the recommended language to watch in. There have been many analysis written online that I recommend reading into after finishing the movie. It's a little slow and gives the viewer time to think. There's a independent show with the same characters that is sort related but not a sequel in any way. The 2017 remake is not a good reflection of the story nor does it stick to the original story in any way.

In a stock buyback, the investor only is made whole by "exiting" the stock. I.e., if that stock has voting rights, and you're more interested in being able to influence as a shareholder, you're left out of the "lifting of every risk sinker" when a company does a buyback. In fact, it guarantees that the amount of shareholder influence as a whole decreases, because if someone were to reacquire that share it would be more expensive now.

Stock buybacks are basically attempts to shirk leashes, freeing execs/other shareholders from the ongoing influence of exiting shareholders.

Dividends on the other hand, are straightforward returns on what was a commitment to sink risk. An ongoing source of income for the shareholder as a result of the company thriving. It's a straight up payment of a coupon off a bond. There is no need to exit/re-enter required. Your # of shares do not move. Therefore your relative investment stays as it was, whereas with the buyback, you're handing back your ongoing leash and influence on the company.

Stock buybacks are therefore not equivalent in any way to paying of dividends. I don't know why this is so hard to understand.

The podcast has grown on me a lot. You and Adam tend to speak with vocal fry, and it comes across as a little bro-y at first.

Really loved the recent episodes with Adam Wiggins.
It's funny how Silicon Valley uses the term "make money". With rare exceptions, what these so-called entrepreneurs are doing is raising money, not making money. No one is paying for their "work". The only plausible "work" being fundraising.

How much is the source code for the FTX website worth. $8 billion. Right. The market suggests it is worth zero. Computer programmers are a dime-a-dozen and free software is ubiquitous.

Wait, I know. We'll charge transaction fees. Be the middleman. Innovative business plan!

SBF's assets, co-mingled with his parents assets, were purchased with other people's money. Not money that was earned. Through fess or otherwise. Now those people want their money back. Where is it.

IMHO, what SBF does is not "making money". It is taking money. A Silicon Valley tradition.

Unprofitable companies that cannot support themselves as going concerns without the assistance of venture capital, or, here, "crypto" investor deposits. Programmers who are incapable of selling their "work" as software licenses and must be paid via venture capital.
In terms of physical construction, I believe early 90s VCRs were the best. Late enough to have most of the reliability issues worked out, and before cost-saving became a priority. That said, perhaps the last designs (late 2000s?) are also alright because they were simplified to reduce assembly cost, but may be more fragile too.
I doubt that he changed, I think we just got to know him better.
> My mom was indignant about it because she sold men's clothing for a living and could tell you exactly how a fake Tommy Hilfiger shirt was worse in so many ways than a real one.

Gomorrah opens with a description of Italian clothing manufacturing. As described there, the difference between a fake shirt and a real shirt is that they were made to the same specifications under one and the same contract, by different factories, and the real one got delivered faster than the fake one did. Only the first guy to deliver gets paid.

It's an interesting book. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1250145031/
Unfortunately I think Steak-Umm's Twitter shows that corporations are happy to be "anticorporate" if it moves inventory. I imagine corporate AI will be happy to be anti-AI (fellow kids).

We absolutely need to change the way we do social sciences. My favourite pet peeve in social sciences is idea laundering.

"It’s analogous to money laundering.
Here’s how it works: First, various academics have strong moral impulses about something. For example, they perceive negative attitudes about obesity in society, and they want to stop people from making the obese feel bad about their condition. In other words, they convince themselves that the clinical concept of obesity (a medical term) is merely a story we tell ourselves about fat (a descriptive term); it’s not true or false—in this particular case, it’s a story that exists within a social power dynamic that unjustly ascribes authority to medical knowledge.

Second, academics who share these sentiments start a peer-reviewed periodical such as Fat Studies—an actual academic journal. They organize Fat Studies like every other academic journal, with a board of directors, a codified submission process, special editions with guest editors, a pool of credentialed “experts” to vet submissions, and so on. The journal’s founders, allies and collaborators then publish articles in Fat Studies and “grow” their journal. Soon, other academics with similar beliefs submit papers, which are accepted or rejected. Ideas and moral impulses go in, knowledge comes out. Voilà!

Eventually, after activist scholars petition university libraries to carry the journal, making it financially viable for a large publisher like Taylor & Francis, Fat Studies becomes established. Before long, there’s an extensive canon of academic work—ideas, prejudice, opinion and moral impulses—that has been laundered into “knowledge.” (source: https://www.wsj.com/articles/idea-laundering-in-academia-115...)

I was one of the extreme "trust the science" people, until I joined a startup that worked with academia. The amount of pettiness, vindictiveness, cutthroat power games I have seen surpassed even the most hardcore of startups.
Sony Handycam implies possibly Video 8 or Hi8 tapes.

If you can get hold of a Digital8 deck that works (and well) then you can hook that to your PC with a FireWire card, and do a direct digital capture of analogue tapes. The DSP in the D8 deck will do an excellent job of decoding, far better than an analogue deck, and you'll get a really clean output without all the "convert down/convert up/convert back down" thing you get using composite jacks.

You'll need to convert the raw DV files into something suitable for editing and distributing, but I guess - since you're on here - you already know about ffmpeg.

Here's an example of a very old - 2000/2001 or so! - tape that I had lying around in a box in the shed for the past 20 years. I shot it with a hand-held Sony Video 8 camcorder when some power station chimneys were being demolished near where I worked. This would (of course) be the day I forgot to throw a tripod in the car, "Oh I don't need to pack that, I've got one in the workshop, I'll leave mine at home..."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPmCygZIjio

It was a pretty grey and drizzly day, as I recall. I could have got the colours up a bit in editing but I didn't feel like it, and this is pretty much how it came off the quite-badly-damaged tape.
Because Mullvad allows for totally anonymous payment, and is thus preferred by the nefarious.

I assume Google only allows you to pay with a payment card as usual, and even getting a Google account requires a phone number now.

I use Mullvad all of the time. Some of their locations' public exit IPs are blocked for some/all services. Can't log in to HN from some of them, can't use Etsy at all from some of them, can't checkout on eBay from some of them, etc.
That Welltris screenshot reminds me of another, though younger, great 3D game from an ex-ussr country I played around the early 2000 iirc. It was a 3D version of snake, playing on a cube's surface, looked like something out of the demoscene and had an awesome selfcomposed soundtrack. I think the developer was from Ukraine or Belarus, not sure anymore. Never found it again unfortunately ...
Out of curiosity, how much work was it to figure out what prompt worked best? And what was the process for figuring it out? Do you have different prompts based on the length of the input? I've been wanting to make an app with GPT-3 so any advice would be appreciated

As for the website, I really like the loading gem! And tiny design nit: it could be helpful to add a hover state to the stuff in the bottom nav. I was curious what the bottom left tab is (dream log?) but it just takes me to the sign in page.

You(we) are already paying right now by delaying, deferring and not acting. We are all paying in terms of environmental climate and all the consequences of that, to the environment, human health and yes, the economy too.

With all due respect, that’s not enough time to be saying anything about it and especially not enough to be telling people not to install updates when that’s the most common way people have their computers breached.

I don’t own a Windows device (and haven’t since Win98) and have had dislikes about it since the early 90s, but I’ve also supported it professionally and would never recommend someone avoid updates. Buy a Mac, perhaps, but until you’re ready to switch you should stay current.
This is how we phrase it in Australia.
The cost is even more ridiculous considering that the iPad "pro" can't even perform the most basic development tasks, so despite its "pro" moniker, it's useless for productivity for a huge range of professionals.
Won't the usage of escrow trigger a KYC/AML "event" of some sort? That would tie the two parties' identities in a way that a cash evades.

Travel the length of West Africa and you'll quickly learn it is extremely malleable and fun to play with. For many people it's their 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th language, so they're making it up and playing with it too!
The phone will be sold for pennies on the dollar to an immigrant owned repair store that doesn’t ask any questions and then will go to a local sketchy wholesaler and then will go to one of about 15 or so companies in Dubai, Hong Kong or Shenzhen (for example https://www.hanggroup.com/price/ https://www.lcdone.com/ https://www.actionlogistics.com/). A coordinated effort to shut down these companies could probably make phone thefts decline dramatically for at least a couple of months.
Since you think it's so reasonable, would you please pay my share? If distributed equally among the US population, it is about $75 a year per person, which of course comes out to about $6.25 a month.

Who says the great space race is just for the three big boys?

"With Sunday's predawn launch from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, ispace is now on its way to becoming one of the first private entities to attempt a moon landing. Although not launching until early next year, lunar landers built by Pittsburgh's Astrobotic Technology and Houston's Intuitive Machines may beat ispace to the moon thanks to shorter cruise times."

Well, sometimes, changes are "events" and only make sense to know in the context of the state of the codebase at the time.
"But my hunch is that the majority of people" - I'm not saying no-one does this, I'm saying I expect a lot of people don't do it.
To some extent it's mostly equivalent to using terminal windows. You can do other stuff w/ it but most of the time it's for managing lots of panes/windows. Personally I really just like its UI and it works really well w/ my workflows. I actually used to run tmux + vim splits + i3wm and managed to find myself really using the heck out of some really gnarly tiling schemes at times. Talking 10+ panes of really tiny windows at once, just on the fly. And then when I need to zoom in on one file in some pane, boom, ctrl+b+z and it's maximized.
The short answer is Innate parallelism at a far higher degree than most languages.

The longer answer is pure functions applied to immutable objects (or objects held in a transition) can be applied in parallel.

The language is designed in a way to give you that, in a way where it is by default rather than in special cases.

The second part is, it being at a mid point between lazy and not - things will be evaluated as there is processor to do so. So things which can be delayed will be, but if something can be done now, for later, it will be.

The combo of this means you can handle more interactions with entities per second, using the cores available.
One relatively common example: When your partner dies, the governement locks your account to make sure taxes are being paid. Then they take a few months of waiting time before handling your account. Hope you have enough cash to bridge these months. The law changed a few years ago because too much stupidity happened, but thing are still far from optimal.

The grandmother of someone I know got actually stuck in limbo. The postal bank would not release her account until the gov OK'd it, and the gov wanted taxes paid before giving an OK. But the taxes could not be paid because the account was locked at the postal bank. The gov nor thecpostal office didn't care. After a year, her family paid the taxes, everything unlocked, and she paid back her family.

Variants of this story afd not that uncommon. Live trough it once, and you don't want governemental bureaucrats having full access to your money.
This looks super interesting, thank you.
There is OPT and BLOOM, which need lots of expensive GPUs to run. Not as good as GPT3, IMO. I doubt there will be any good local alternatives in a year. StableDiffusion needed light compute, not at all comparable to these beasts.
