> It’s a company that sells cars mostly to yuppies and woke buerguesie who drive the cars as a statement.

You’re bringing a lot of emotional baggage to this mischaracterization. Tesla’s buyers are affluent because they didn’t sell anything cheap but that doesn’t make them woke - the dedicated environmentalists bike or take the bus to work - and the smartest move Tesla ever did was making the first one a sports car. That got all of the “car guys” interested because it changed the thought of an EV from something bland but virtuous to a fun, premium experience. Even knowing that “woke” is how right-wingers describe anyone who isn’t, it’s really not accurate – I know more libertarians who bought them until the quality control problems started catching up with them.
These Lex Fridman interviews have been popping up in my YT feed all year long. I avoided them for months but finally caved in. I'm glad I did. They are long, the John Carmack one is 5 hours, but interesting throughout. His guests tend to be very interesting and not just celebrities.
Also: Slack allows for both private group channels, and public group channels. - If you post in a public group channel, then others who may face the same problem (maybe months later) will be able to benefit from you asking the question.
I agree with your sentiment that ChatGPT's output can be disruptive and detrimental to the community. However, I don't think it's fair to call it "vandalism" as it is simply a tool that is being used in a way that is not conducive to constructive discussions. Instead of blaming the tool itself, we should focus on addressing the behavior of those who are using it in a harmful way.

Carbon is still an AST interpreter with half baked language design, and it remains to be seen how many of the features are to be designed.

From Carbon, Val, Cpp2, Circle, the last one is the only one that has a chance to actually provide a proper migration path from classical C++.

If I would have to put money in any of those wannabe C++ replacements, Circle would be it.

This can make sense to do, but it ends up being a lot less cost effective than utility scale solar.

A friend of mine lives off grid in Mexico, and he got double duty out of his solar array by making it a big carport and workshop area. So yeah that totally works.

But, if you're going to invest $X in solar, it's better to spend it on utility scale stuff than even commercial versions of covering parking lots. This is because the utility scale operation better amortizes the equipment needed to tie into the grid, as well as operationally will keep the panels clean and working at peak efficiency.
You are not crazy, but you are conflating multiple things.

Exchanges are solvent when they've got enough funds to cover customers' deposits. If Coinbase keeps exactly the same cryptocurrencies that their customers have deposited, they are (trivially) solvent. They could also cover deposits with anything else that has at least that same (stable) value. FTX was not solvent because it reinvested customer deposits into other risky businesses.

Next, Coinbase stock is down 90% compared to when? Bitcoin is down more than 75% to the all time high. Perhaps both were overvalued? It is not surprising that investors are not very high on crypto firms after FTX.

Binance coin, just like FTX coin, is only reflecting current trust in Binance. If Binance turns out not to be solvent (like scandals around FTX uncovered), Binance coin will quickly turn to dust as well.

So, both stock price and coin value are measures of trust (especially in how big earnings are they going to see), and while it helps a public company in need of refinancing to have a larger stock price, it should not in general affect their day to day operations.

Bankrupcy comes out of not being solvent, which is only related to stock price when you want loans or refinancing or stock sale to cover for what you owe and don't have the cash for.

Sure, large companies never have simple "solvent or not solvent" indicators, but stock price is not it (stock prices have been falling even for companies with large cash reserves, like Google/Alphabet).
Yes, we're all individuals!

Can you give us an overview on what's currently known about the externalities of the covid vaccines? Specifically some quantification of their effect on another persons odds of getting infected/hospitalized/killed/long covid'ed would be particularly helpful.

My understanding is that it is miniscule, but I only see people say things like "well no vaccine is 100% effective" and leave it at that (which I don't see as particularly informative), or the other end of the spectrum "the evil clot shots never did anything but kill people and make money for big pharma" which is of course equally useless.
I climbed one of these towers with a friend a couple of years ago. The antennas had been removed, or had fallen off, but the tower itself was still in good shape. Up on a ridge line, it offered an amazing view; we got to look down on a couple of military jets, out flying practice maneuvers in the valley below us.

The service building at the base of the tower was unlocked and empty. With a couple hours of cleaning and mopping, it would have made a fabulous spot for an all-night rave. Alas, the pandemic put all such plans on hold; in the meantime, the site was demolished. There's nothing there now but a gravel patch.

I'm glad to have had the chance to appreciate this bit of infrastructure up close before it vanished.
Qatar is the second largest exporter of LNG. They can do what they want and it seems like a stupid mistake if they were indeed bribing EU politicians in cash...

That being said, earlier this year there was a story here in the UK about King Charles once receiving 1 million in cash (in a shopping bag!) from the Gulf as 'charity donation'... so perhaps EU politicians should setup more charities.

Edit: in fairness, the cash donation to Charles' charity was correctly booked and reported in the charity's accounts and so nothing much happened when the story broke. But bags of cash do tend to raise eyebrows and the conclusion was that it'd be best not to accept them in the future...
I follow a simple rule.

If I'm looking for a written conversation, I say hello followed by whatever I want to say next in the same message.

If I want to call someone, I say hello and ask them if they are available in the same message.

I avoid situations in between because they are usually highly entropic and confusing. And sending a single message works, so there's no need to fix it.
Technically what you want is a bouteille d'eau. If you're asking for l'eau, you're asking for all of the water, not some of it. Depending on how accommodating the French speaker is, you may just get stonewalled for butchering the language.

I'm not one of Elon's fans, trust me on that. But I do enjoy different perspectives to things.

And this sure seems like Elon doesn't give a f*ck about people, he's honestly trying to assemble the smallest team necessary to keep Twitter going, in whatever direction he wants it to go.

So yeah he's gotten a lot of criticism but I believe there's a different perspective here of a ruthless businessman just doing anything he wants to save his 44bn investment. Including downsizing it to the bare minimum, and then rewarding the people who stuck around and helped him through it.
The political party is calling itself socialist, but it's fiscally conservative, supports the free market and Keynesian economics. It's considered center in Greece.
Binance Is Trying to Calm Investors, but Its Finances Remain a Mystery
An LWW register is most certainly a CRDT, it just has limited use. I think you’re making a good point about how one must be careful applying CRDTs, but I don’t think it’s accurate to say that a suboptimal merge strategy in terms of user experience means that something does not meet the definition of a CRDT.

In other words, the “conflict-free” part of the term refers to the fact that all replicas converge on the same value when all updates have been exchanged. What you’re discussing seems to have more to do with concerns around intention preservation when using CRDTs. In other words, an LWW register on a text field is still a CRDT, but in many applications it is potentially a poor choice in terms of preserving the intent of user-generated operations, but determining this is something done in a case-by-case basis.

If the content is a long document which users collaborate on over time, then a register is most certainly a poor choice. If it is a short text field akin to a label, an LWW register isn’t necessarily bad, because user intent is likely to replace the entire value, rather than to perform minute edits on the value.
In my experience it’s the right who does these things and the left who drives themselves to an early grave trying to do the right thing.

I feel like the more we learn about Twitter the more it’s just a tiny company that tried to look like Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Apple.

It’s really just a trash company that had a lot of junk and a lot of people doing nothing with overly inflated salaries.
In France, when I was a kid, there were some cards you could get that are usually for kids. They actually belong to the parents, and are attached to their accounts. I think it's also fairly limited in what amount you can pay, and doesn't draw from the main account but needs to be "topped-up".

I've never had one, though, so I don't know the specifics.

Apparently, BNP Paribas (one of the major local banks) now has a "teen offer", for people 12-17 yo. This seems to still be attached to the parents' account with the same bank, but the kids get to "manage" the account.

Apologies I was trying to make my second condition about these providers. I don't want hardware specific credentials, or <insert multinational cloud provider> controlled credentials.

The first introduces risks with damaged or stolen hardware, not to mention migration.

The second introduces lack of control and enables these companies to track you. It's not lost on me that nearly all the companies offering authenticator apps are basically advertising companies: Google, Microsoft, Apple. They're getting in at the start for a reason

Bankman-Fried ‘would give anything’ to start new business to help FTX users
ironic that he's the one slinking back into his hole, I guess projection really is the fraudsters greatest weakness. What's most interesting to me is that after the conversation in this thread, I did some further research on Vinay, and even his (pretty weak) credentials are, unsurprisingly, overinflated. He seems to be smart enough to massage his credentials for the audience (e.g: in more sophisticated places, he proclaims he was involved in the launch of Ethereum (twitter, his website), but in less sophisticated places, he proclaims he was part of the team that created Ethereum itself). He's a self promoter, a clinger on, a man who lacks any substance, fits right in within the cryptocurrency space. I assume he'll read this comment and be conflicted: does he respond with more insults but completely ignore the fact that he has chosen to ignore the opportunity to prove what he has said to be true? Does he use my disrespect here as an excuse to no longer engage? I'm excited to see his strategy.
That ship has sailed long ago. I don't know any place where car ownership is not a government registry, and that is surely because the theft of them was so common that something had to be done about it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
And you think a bag full of paper money in your basement will help you once bombs are dropped on your home town? How exactly will that help in war time more than money in your account that you can withdraw once in safety?

If you choose to deal with cash exclusively for the sake of it, so be it. But for everyone else, it’s just a less efficient way to move money from account A to account B.
Is it? I think it's far more common for private companies to have a large number of people titled "Vice President" than governments. As far as governments go, the EU Parliament seems like a bit of an outlier here.
Some people like to have control over others, and get a kick out of enforcing rules they've made. These seem to make up the bulk of Reddit's moderators.

Others do it more casually, just because they wanted to have a forum for a topic and you need to do some light-touch moderating to keep the spam out.

> social norms which dictate

I thought we went past that three centuries ago. But then, globablization of communication showed differently.

I am not even sure about when and where these "social norms about expression" emerged; I am not sure they existed among the Romans, the Carolingian Franks etc.

Surely, they are apparent in some anglophone contexts. The Britons very often go "Will you apologize?" in odd contexts very far from those others would find consistent with the request (e.g. if A randomly knocked B down and showed indifference).
Most companies aren't big corps and tend to care about employees if only because there are fewer of them.

All writing is in some form writing for _some_ audience, or an “auditor”.

However you choose to speak with your friends, the use of profanity—is ‘piss’ profane? I’d say it’s a subset whose parent term is the male/female organ—is controversial in writing. Profanity is by definition offensive, and that excludes people.

I believe we all should consider our words more carefully, and also be able to call a ‘spade’ a spade when it’s a shovel.

I have 26 panels set up like that of two different types and the figures pretty much match that formula.

I've used two heliostats in the past (see other comment in this thread) and on a $/Watt basis you're better off putting them flat, regardless of the perceived advantages, after all is said and done you will have more power, be out less money and have a more reliable system.

"At least" would be to make some sandwiches and put them in a lunch box like millions of people do every day.
I think if you're the kind of person who often asks for help, I'd strongly advise you to listen to advice like "no hello" (because "no hello" is broadcasted by people who are often asked for help).

Rather, you can't have both "I often ask for help" and "I don't need to listen to advice".

Very good point. And frankly, when some Argentinean uses crypto to circumvent capital controls and get a better rate for his incoming payments than his fellow law-abiding citizens, that doesn't strike me as a use case "solving a problem" either.

A lot of the "oh you're only anti-crypto because you're so financially privileged" inclusion is pretty disingenuous, if not predatory.
I had to block Elon prior to being suspended from Twitter, which declined to roll out end to end encryption per my request to avoid having my data end up in the hands of somone like Elon Musk.

Why wouldn't I "hate" someone who repeatedly violates my boundaries, and doesn't even to have the common decency to use a zero day instead of just throwing money at the problem?
General comments tend to paint the world in a stereotypical too broad way that doesn’t reflect reality. They are often misleading and wrong.

Clarifying the reason for something is the antidote to that. And you don’t get to weasel out of that by saying you were making a more general point with your specific statement.

In this case: presidents in typical European parliaments are responsible for parliamentary proceedings. Who speaks when, what the rules of the debate are, how to resolve conflicts, etc. Mostly boring stuff, but stuff that is vitally important for functioning parliaments. They also actually chair the debate, so they are the ones who do the timekeeping and remind MEPs of that and they are the ones handing out sanctions if, I don’t know, someone makes antisemitic remarks about another MEP or something.

Since they set the rules for debate it is also typical that all political factions are in some way represented since this is a function where everyone should be represented. Bonus: since they chair the actual debates one person can‘t shoulder that.

So nothing to do with bureaucracy and everything to do with basic democratic principles.
I have a question about the position-based dynamics approach. Since the constraints are solved iteratively for every element in the simulation, you can still end up with a system where the constraints do not hold for some of the elements.

Example: you have a link between A and B, and a link between B and C. If you adjust A and B according to the length of the link, and then B and C according to the other length, you've moved B again, and the firsts link might not have the right length anymore.

I think the other lesson to learn is that “everything is a …” abstractions don’t work as well in practice as in theory.

All abstractions leak. The more surface area an abstraction covers, the more leaky it is likely to be.

I was in the process of trying to get I²C working through the built-in HDMI port of the Apple Silicon Macs (the one containing the MCDP29xx HDMI-to-DP converter chip) and been hitting a lot of dead ends while looking at kexts and opaque firmware blobs. This is going to help a lot as the KDK seems to contain logging messages related to DDC that I've never seen before.

I also found SIP disabled + Frida very useful for debugging without going through the KDK/m1n1 route. Not sure if it also helps with kext code though, I mostly used it for SkyLight and other private frameworks, but it's very nice to be able to also alter the code while it is running in realtime, or sometimes simply log specific function calls with argument value to get an idea what action causes which code to run.

Perhaps you're right. Why don't we put it to the test? If I'm right, the current US regime of restrictive zoning is causing serious harm, and ought to be repealed; if you're right, however, the market is already doing a good job of satisfying demand, which means restrictive zoning is merely an unnecessary administrative burden. Either way, we would come out ahead by liberalizing urban zoning codes.

Holy moly. People cannot escape cognitive biases even by knowing about cognitive biases. This includes you. It seems that you think you have somehow transcended this condition. This is just another bias. And this particular one is maybe the most insidious of all because it convinces you you're better than most on a fundamental level and protects you from introspection and criticism. Seek humility.
