I think others have already replied with basically what I would have replied with, but to be clear: I was not talking about "Twitter Files Part 2", I was talking about the comment thread you posted.

My hyperbole was not necessary, you're right, but one can't say EM doesn't have disdain for MSM - he says it almost every day.
When I started my "gig", I just kind of threw it out there. I fairly quickly started getting a lot of orders every week. Over time I had a few really good regular customers, my orders were about half from them and half from random one-offs.

A couple years into it I started reading in the forums about changes to the search algorithm and how it was hammering people and killing their existing gigs. It was all speculation since it's not transparent. Shortly after that, I started to notice the random one off orders completely stopped. I was still getting orders from my regulars, but over time their business started to drop off. A lot of those customers were using my services to fulfill orders on their own gigs (lots of whiteboard animation videos, things like that). So I imagine some of them also dropped off due to the algorithm and I went with it.

When they were gone, it was over. I'm left with a gig with over 500 completed orders with a perfect 5 star rating, that never gets seen by anyone.

There isn't much in the way of SEO you can do - you have your gig description and you can add some keywords. There is a system for buying ads - I tried that out, but it didn't lead to any clicks.
so you're saying he's bourgeoisie. Yeah that's the irony. The irony is that he's rich enough to have that lifestyle and still have food, while poor people would not.
No because that almost never happens, and it's basically the same handful of cases that have been getting mentioned over and over for years every time this comes up on the internet.

Go actually check the registry. First off in many places it's the opposite eg there is no crime of rape it's "aggravated sexual battery" or something similar. Which is heavy if you know any legal jargon but easy to miss if you don't.

And second it is overwhelmingly full of serious violent sex crimes and crimes against minors under 13. Even if you're in there looking for a case like you describe they're hard to find.

The drug war is the cause of almost all exaggerated or unjust convictions, not sex crimes.
Improving myself and changing jobs so far as proven to pay the most.

Otherwise I wrote a book (real world cryptography) which is selling really well. Not going to replace a full time job though.

Democracy is utterly dependant on a well informed population.

If the fair and balanced media fails (or access to it fails), then democracy is in peril.
Wage labor was a deal that many, many people freely accepted, because on net it was better than subsistence farming.

Serious question: If you aren't doing wage labor, how are you going to live? Subsistence farming? Welfare? How?
I love this article so much.

I was about to say driving at the most economical speed is a non-starter, as truck drivers in the current regime feel pressured to complete their trips faster. But of course a driverless truck doesn't need to stop to sleep, just to charge, so it can probably drive slower and still complete trips in a shorter overall time.
Programmers:

> "Why does BigTech keep tracking me!"

> "If you're not the customer, you're the product!"

> "Why is the internet getting monopolized by a few media empires owned by a few billionaires!"

Small indie developer: "hey guys I put a massive amount of work into this project, how about you just act like a customer and pay me a small amount of money".

> "Ahhh this is highway robbery! $30 is outrageously overpriced!"

People are insanely cheap with software, even professional software developers. It's an attitude that's shifting but very slowly. The VC backed ad-economy has anchored everyone's expectation that anything above $0 is somehow a ripoff.

The end result is we all get tracked, our data monetized, and the best job opportunities are mostly obeying the rules of a tiny number of elite overlords who can finance "free" products.

Also, people won't bat an eye at paying $40k, $50k, or $60k for 1 year at a university even though you'd probably learn more programming from doing Fireship's classes then a lot of undergrad CS semesters.

It has more to do with psychological anchoring than any sort of economic rationality.
> no regime change

I suppose a regime change can come from within, as a consequence of a lost war and economic hardships. I suppose Russia has a fair chance to experience just that, once it loses.
The price of panels has fallen so much that installation is now a significant proportion of the cost. So this is a good idea.

But without any airflow behind the panels they will heat up, which will reduce efficacy. This is the main reason BIPV (solar roof tiles, in this case) has failed for decades. So this is a bad idea.

Which is it? I suspect, based on the BIPV example, that this will probably not work. It would be cool if this suspicion turned out to be wrong!
/r/programming (and all of the other major generic programming subreddits) generally just do not have good conversation (or at least have much more noise to signal), as a large percentage of the community is very inexperienced. Same thing goes for non-programming, high subscriber count communities. You eventually get a lot of people who think they are knowledgeable about a topic because they've read a lot of topics on the subreddit, but they're really just inexperienced people parroting the opinions of other inexperienced people.
AT&T Long Lines – A Forgotten System (2018)
My experience was “read the book and do exercises until I feel a false sense of confidence. Then just go do stuff and use the rest of the book as a reference.”

What was most important to me was to make sure I didn’t burn out and get bored. It was important to get to a fun, captivating project asap.
And it is nearly impossible to reliably tap a button on a touchscreen in a moving vehicle on even smooth roads (at least by me).
I have been trying to find a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W for months now. They are unobtainable, and I can’t find any communication from Raspberry Pi about it.
It needs a narrow "nose" for aero and range, which necessitates a center position seat.

Also the author should be aware that Nikola trucks are vaporware, and the video they showed of their truck was just rolling downill.
I don't think Greene is treated anywhere near as seriously. Especially since his books tend to fall into the category (in my mind, at least) of "self-help" rather than scientific non-fiction. The Laws of Power, Strategies of War, etc. are clearly advice books, so him presenting anecdotes for examples and drawing lessons from them makes more sense than someone doing it with explanatory intent of a deeper and more fundamental phenomenon.
Wage labor isn't a natural baseline, though. It's an arbitrary system that benefits certain people at the expense of others, and is just as natural as feudalism, monarchism, etc.

If you want to make an argument from history and nature, you can't ignore that early human societies didn't have wage labor, nor were there asset owning classes that didn't work and depended on the labor of others. Those kind of relations eventually erupted with the advent of agriculture that allowed people to settle and accumulate assets.
Here's the thing: the "cutsey" stuff is really the same as the technical stuff from the perspective of what it does and how you make it do it.

Getting it to craft a story about Cthulu and the Parking Lot Attendant in the style of HP Lovecraft is not unlike getting it to write a program about API access in Python. It's all the same to it, beyond syntax formatting perhaps.

I say that as I seem to oscillate between having it write amusing stories (see above) and writing code. And what I find is that I always start with something like this...

"Write me a <whatever> with <thing 1> and <thing 2> in the writing style of author <author> | programing language of <language>."

Then I start getting it to refine things. I ask it to change things, change styles, focus in on just certain parts or extend the results, etc. I slowly (or quickly) tease out of it a result that is what I am looking for.

In my mind, it doesn't support writing code because someone explicitly wrote a code support module. It doesn't support writing stories because someone wrote a story writing module. It just does it.

I'm surprised there aren't CPU emulators that are just for collecting performance information.

People engage in wage labor because they find it preferable to alternatives like hunting and gathering berries.

However meager is their lifestyle, it's better than what it would be under the alternatives. That's what people are slaves of: consumption. People engage in wage labor because it sustains a certain level of consumption that alternative activities wouldn't.
It's ok, it lights up for 30s after the door opens. Oh you need to find it but were in the cab for longer than 30s? Just open and close the door again, dum-dum!
Thanks for the feedback. In the future we will be focusing on closing that gap. Some research is still going on and with Next.js 13's server components and server-side data fetching primitives, I believe there will be a great experience to use SWR and Next.js to have all the scenarios covered.
>Putin is never going to stand trial, unless somehow Russia rats him out (but I struggle to imagine that).

I'm sure Serbs and Libyans had said the same about Milosevic and Gaddafi for years before they were removed from power.
> This is a KNOWN issue. There's very very little upside to any sort of touchscreen in a moving vehicle.

That’s a very confident statement to make without data to back it up.

Strong disagree. I see a huge number of benefits from the touchscreen in my Tesla. Continuous improvements to how the fundamental controls operate. New features that could only have been possible due to the controls not being hardware…

And generally speaking my vehicle seems to save me from human lapses in judgement even when I’m paying perfect attention so I’m not convinced about the argument that they purely increase distraction.
Webhooks – The Definitive Guide (2023)
One can ask chatgpt for e.g. advice on how to create drugs at home. They filter this, however using the right prompts to "jailbreak" chatgpt it can easily be circumvented.
This is actually something we are working on getting rid of. What separates us from other python frameworks is that we compile down to a nextjs/react app (the user never sees this though).

But to keep it short there is a way to get rid of this in the future and we are currently working on it. So the only installation step will be `pip install pynecone-io`
I'm biased on this, as project lead for Matrix, but: we've done loads of work to support Matrix for corporate communication - especially as a route to migrate away from Skype For Business, or a secure alternative to Slack & Teams. I'll try to give a balanced view:

Good stuff:

* OIDC for authentication (or CAS or SAML or LDAP etc)

* "Spaces" to organise all your rooms across the organisation (and overlapping organisations)

* Audit bot for compliance (a bolt-on in Element Enterprise)

* "Group Sync" to bridge space membership and permissions to Active Directory (a bolt-on in Element Enterprise)

* Loads of clients for different environments, and a really nice open API for writing new ones and bots and integratinos.

* Bridges to existing corp systems like Slack and Teams to help do a rolling migration.

* Great E2EE voip/video confs via Element Call (and Video Rooms) these days.

* Federation, obviously, to work with other deployments within or between orgs, if you want.

Bad stuff:

* E2EE makes it hard for new users to see history when you join encrypted rooms. We're working on this currently.

* Not as many integrations as Slack or similar yet - we really need to provide slack-compatible webhooks out of the box so we can leverage existing integs.

* E2EE search doesn't exist on mobile yet

* Lack of multiaccount makes juggling corp & personal accounts a pain.
Can you please elaborate? What type of audience does one expect to not support a particular claim at the start, then to swing their opinion wildly in favor of it?
If the touchscreen breaks you get a replacement. What if the break pedal or anything else breaks? Same issue.

Additionally the car drives fine without the touchscreen. You can test this by rebooting. Sure, the speedometer is missing so it‘s not exactly great, but it would be enough to get to a safe position.
Sir is aware that SGI made Windows NT workstations, right?

They were lovely things, too. I wish I'd bought one when PIIIs were being flogged off.

In this case, I think the earth acts as a heat sink. Or so they claim on their website (https://www.erthos.com)

Neither their press release nor the article says where exactly in Texas it is, but I bet it would make sense to put it in the desert where it gets cold at night.
I wonder what these anti working writers and philosophers would say about doing nothing in our modern day. Where nothing is still frequently capitalist driven consumption, scrolling through our phones endlessly getting advertised to, watching tv/streaming, engagement traps of social media etc...

It's almost like it isn't safe to be lazy now, your downtime attention is fought for so hard by groups with so much resources then you can ever fight back with.
This is a great way of thinking about it, but don't you lose a bit more due to increased reflection from the glass surface at low incident angles?

You can, the experience is just not very good.
Nope, according to the wikipedia linked, the only time Lafargue came close to being an owner (i.e. petit bourgeois) was when he tried running that photolithography workshop.
Are you pointing out my conviction or just signaling the lack of yours?
I guess I wasn't very clear.

It was issues with Pulse I wanted to know more about. Low latency is obviously not it's forté, otherwise it just works, for me that is.
Agree with this. Lately I've been watching more youtube videos about programming than usual, but I still find they take so long to get anywhere. The 5 to 10 minutes you spend watching one could almost always be spent reading an article or a chapter of a book on the same topic and getting much more information out of it. And it turns into practice for reading documentation about things that have no videos about them, which is its own skill.
Are you trying to make a point? Could you make the point directly, rather than make some vague, sarcastic comment?

If I’m interpreting your comment correctly, there’s a lot wrong with what you’re saying. First, the “job” that computer programmers do is much more than just writing code and designing systems. Computer programmers are expected to prioritize work, advocate for work that they think is important, gather requirements from stakeholders, make decisions about who holds various responsibilities, document and communicate the process to team members, and disseminate knowledge about how systems work to others. Just for starters.

Second,

> Or conversely, get paid everybody else's salary since we're already doing all of their jobs?

1. Computer programmers are paid generously, at least where I live. One of the reasons we are paid generously is because computer programmers are very efficient at getting work done that may otherwise need many people.

2. It’s not somebody else’s job to follow you around and document what you’re doing and justify it. It never was. It was always your job.

“Keep your head down and just do good work” is a kind of hyper-individualistic fantasy. It’s the fantasy where you’re some kind of powerhouse getting work done in your own world, and you do not need to advocate for what you feel is important. That’s what I’m arguing against. The technical part of our jobs is only one part of it, and you can’t make a good team out of several highly skilled programmers if they only have technical skills.
Yah its probably a case that designing a vacmop style device (possibly purchased off the open market?) and having it drive around on a flat surface is both cheaper and keeps the panels cleaner than a custom bot that doesn't clean as frequently because it costs to much.

My question is whether sitting on the ground itself causes problems with efficiency due to the panels getting hotter than they would with some airflow under them.
Why charge money for leaving the legacy features enabled (other than "because they can" / cyberpunk dystopia)?

If they really are such a security risk, surely enterprise customers would rather pay for the ability to turn them off.
Thanks, I just replaced Aurora Droid with Neo Store.
Just ship an Optimus along with the truck so it can walk out with the papers and hand them over. Problem solved, more profits!
From the land topography fitting perspective, it's too bad panels are triangular. Then one could essentially create a triangular mesh overlay of panels over all kinds of uneven terrain.
>Russia military is a pitiful shell of the former Soviet glory. Putin’s actions in Ukraine have effectively demilitarized them.

And yet the war is ~8 months long and counting. "The other guy's military is trash." propaganda happens in every war, and on both sides, if you've studied even a few. We just cleared the sale of 116 Abrams tanks to Poland: https://www.defensenews.com/land/2022/12/07/us-state-dept-cl...

From the article:

>Polish defense officials have said the acquisition will enable the country’s military to counter Russia’s flagship T-14 Armata tank. The procurement will also allow Warsaw to replace its outdated Soviet-designed T-72 and PT-91 tanks with a new tracked vehicle platform.

The people on the ground conducting the war don't seem to think they've been "effectively demilitarized".

Generally agree that the terminology is often different.

I think Cody Wilson got put on the sex offender registry after he had sex with a 16 or 17 year old who presented a fake ID to a sugar daddy website, which was "verified" as being an 18 year old ID. So she verbally and via fake ID lied about being 18, consented, and even was acting in a "professional" capacity seeking out this activity. Cody was still convicted as a registered sex offender despite his best attempts to follow the of-age law and due diligence.

With strict liability, someone can look 18 and even show you an ID+passport and you can do mountains of due diligence but it is not a defense against the conviction. Pretty crazy we have people on the registry because of that IMO.

Why don't we have any physical "dynamic" controls yet? A "3D" touchscreen? Something like a ferrofluid [0] layer underneath a flexible display. It seems both technically possible, and a way for us to have our cake & eat it.

[0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrofluid#/media/File%3AFerro...
I think this is a question with an impossible answer. Life on Earth is far to varied and chaotic for any baseline value. Just like an ecosystem, everything is in constant flux.
Could you please explain more about why you would prefer those specific controls to be touch based? Is it to have the possibility of finer-grained adjustment?

For me, wipers and audio volume are controls I want to be able to access immediately and without taking my eyes off the road, as they sometimes need to be used with urgency. (For example, turning down high volume to reduce distraction or activating wipers to clear a sudden downpour.)
Blaming the safe driving of Germans on the danger of the Autobahn just baffles me. The driving style of Germans has everything to do with the process of obtaining a driving license in Germany as well as the strict (and properly enforced) traffic laws and harsh fines - most violations will get you points towards losing your license and in some extreme cases you might even be barred from obtaining a new driving license after losing yours. All that creates an environment where driving is viewed as an activity that requires a lot of attention and farsightedness. Being able to drive fast on the Autobahn has nothing to do with it simply because this driving style not only applies to the Autobahn but also to cities and smaller country roads.
Or the tunnels..
This is very fun! And it’s amazing you can get a big model running at this high frame rate
