I wonder that too. ActivityPub/ActivityStreams seems really interesting, but I haven’t found a good roll-up of (1) the problems it was designed to solve and (2) the design philosophy of this solution. Once I understand what’s possible vs. what Mastodon’s implementation of ActivityPub can do, I hope to be able to answer the question: Can an alternate implementation be less of a nightmare to scale, or is that intrinsic to the protocol?
Staying home stops being viable in approximately 500m years, which is less than 25% of life on earth. A majority of the time life can survive on this planet is behind us.

We’ve had 4.2bn years to figure out how to get off this rock. We’ve only got 500m left. In that time, life has printed exactly one golden ticket: humans. Staying here is deadly. The mentality that life on earth will be just fine dooms this planet to complete extinction.

I am quite often looking for patterns across thousands of requests. As an example, one thing I inherited didn’t even log how long each request took to serve. Sure, you find out how long a single request took, by comparing the first and last log entry, but that’s just not useful 99% of the time.

One thing we did at my previous job was to add a "trace flag" to each account. Normally, they log nothing about a transaction (other than it happened), but if the trace flag is set, then a lot of information is logged about the transaction. Also, this trace flag is propagated throughout the distributed system they have, so we can trace the action across the network.
I wonder if the outputted text-vectors will be similar to e.g the outputted image vector if they have the same "content". E.g will the vector for the text "A dog on a green field" be similar in the vector space to an image showing a dog on a green field? If so it opens up a lot of opportunities in the information retrieval / recommender system space.

Edit: After reading the paper I see that they train an individual model for each modality, which means that they are not comparable. It would be interesting to see though if they could combine sound, text and images into the same training in the future.
Your previous comments are also correct. This has been the case with YouTube's empty 'mission statement':

> Our mission is to give everyone a voice and show them the world.

> We believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share and build community through our stories.

Despite their ridiculous bans to those that never broke their ToS and YouTube never explaining what ToS did they break.

A geometric algebra is another name for a (more well-known?) algebraic structure called a Clifford algebra. If you know what an Exterior/Grassmann algebra are, then it's that with a metric structure.

If you don't know what any of those words mean, then it's a way to represent n-dimensional geometric objects and operations on them all within an algebraically closed environment. Moreover, (at least in the specific algebras I'm familiar with) you can view a lot of transformations/operations as reflections or compositions of reflections of one object with respect to another.

It's quite beautiful really. Transformations compose nicely and produce new (uniquely represented [1]) objects. You can work in a way that mirrors your geometric intuition instead of getting lost in the mire of representational details.

[1] One of the real sticking points of trying to embed everything in a vector space is that a lot of the representations overlap, and you have to operate on them specially. Planes are represented as normal vectors, and so are regular vectors.

My previous house was a balloon framed townhouse built in 1930. My current house is a balloon framed house built in 1940. For the same amount of money you get a house that is 2 or 3 times larger and yet more power efficient when you build with wood, and both of the houses I have owned had 2 or 3 families grow up and old in them before mine. In Europe and Asia they build with stone and concrete, and people make due with less space, and they can't afford to heat them without cheap Russian gas. It's good that houses in the UK are finally required to be built with some insulation, but Europe is decades behind on this.
Something better has already come along. Solar and wind produce power more cheaply than the world has ever seen.

Fission is distinguished by being the most expensive power in current heavy use. All the nukes will be mothballed, soon enough, unable find takers at a price that would pay for continued operation.

I think the best insight I've ever come across about marketing was in The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss. He had a strategy of building marketing campaigns before he built products.

He would go as far as to develop the website and marketing assets, all the way up to and including an order form, spending money on advertising, etc. and see how it performed. And when people hit the order button they'd just get a message which said "currently out of stock - check back soon."

If the numbers coming back from a marketing campaign were good he'd then go on to develop the product.

Now you could debate the ethics of this but the key point is that the best way to figure out the sales and marketing side of a business is trial, error, and measurement of the outcomes. You get a marketing message of some kind out there, and you see if where and how you did it is a winner. You get your message/funnel/whatever as close as possible to an actual sales process. You get as close as you can to measuring specifically buying intent. You defer as much investment in actual product development as you can. Your time and money instead goes into looking for a technique and message that work.

Eventually you get enough info about your market this way that marketing looks much much less opaque. You will come to understand who would buy your shit and why. If you are a creator/maker/artist/developer/etc. and you achieve that understanding you've basically written yourself a golden ticket for many many years at that point, because for you, making the thing which fulfills that demand is really the easy part.

It's understanding what the demand is and who has it that needs your time and attention at the start. Understanding the shape of the hole in the universe which you are going to fill. Once you achieve that everything else falls into place.

This is indeed how RSA works, and is seen as a weakness of RSA, among other things it can lead to accidental oracles if you use the same key to both sign and decrypt things.

To my knowledge, this is not how ECDSA works. ECDSA is "just" a signature algorithm, e.g. provides integrity and cannot encrypt or decrypt anything - in EC-land you would use a technique like ECDH to arrive at a symmetric key that you then use to do encryption.

The charges against Sam Bankman-Fried and the first FTX Congressional hearing
Of course the fraudsters that created scams like Crypto and NFT would love to unleash a decentralized network that could not be regulated or moderated by congress, and that could not be properly logged anywhere by anyone, so that fraud could more easily be foisted upon everyone.

If this is permitted, and people buy into the crap peddling, then the outcome is well deserved by the victims.

Sorry to be so glum, but Jack had a big role in promotion and fosterance of Crypto and NFT while he served as Twitter CEO... It should not be given free pass. The Internet was not meant to be without credibility and accountability, in the age where the warnings are clearly visible, accountability and credibility should cancel most social media platforms based on their performance to date alone for creating stable new business models.

Current Social Media is built on ID theft, deception, unpaid labor, and fraud. Mark my words. It's not a stable platform to build anything else on at all.
It really doesn't work that way, for several reasons.

First, you can't predict what will happen with the economy vis-a-vis your investments and cost-of-living. Sure there are rules of thumb, but depending your age and the current situation, assumptions like "I can perpetually do a 4% drawdown" may or may not be reliable.

Second, the ability to say FU to everyone is not a black and white decision. Perhaps you value earning more to live a higher lifestyle in the short-term, with some optionality to say FU if things go sideways. Other people might have been burnt and would rather live a life of poverty than be forced to capitulate to The Man one more time. In the immortal words of Lawrence from Office Space: "you don't need a million dollars to do nothing". Most people probably fall somewhere in between.

And last but not least, declaring financial independence raises new existential questions which people may not be ready to answer. Having a job gives a baseline social connection and sense of communal utility. To actually declare financial independence poses a risk of alienation, which may have no upside once the immediate threat of short-term dependence on one's employer is removed.

The strange thing with Sony is that they don't even seem to try in the mobile market. For years they're putting out phones that are overpriced, have very poor software support duration and focus on gimmicky features like 4K screens that are almost never actually used as such.

As a result they occupy only a tiny niche of the market but they keep going on as they are. Like they don't even care.

It's a shame because they made great stuff. My Z4 Tablet with its Bluetooth laptop dock is the most useful mini laptop I've ever had. Never saw a successor though :'(
I've never been near code handling money, but "never put anything in writing that you wouldn't want to see in the New York Times" is something I've heard repeatedly at a big tech company too. It seems like pretty standard advice nowadays.

This looks nice. I've been cutting all the videos I make for my skateboarding "wordle" site by using ffmpeg and its scene detection.

Some times the scene detection isn't perfect and I have to shave off a few milliseconds to get the clip just right. Also scene detection doesn't do well with fade transitions or with night time skate clips where there's a camera with a flash.

I also learned how to put clips back together with ffmpeg too. I've definitely been doing this the hard way, but it's been fun learning ffmpeg and its crazy incantations.

> Pilots have to know how to read and understand this stuff. Only justification I can think of is that like mathematical notation, this shorthand, once learned, is unambiguous and conveys meaning better than prose. I don't know if that's really true though.

You're correct. It's straightforward for pilots. They can quickly read a NOTAM and understand everything.

Also, it's pretty standard and unambiguous worldwide.

As for the specific example you provided, today is your lucky day! That exact example has been decoded on Wikipedia here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/METAR#North_American_METAR_c...
Yeah just check your water level. If you have an area where the water level is already really high, you can get away with just digging

Otherwise you'll have to add clay or use techniques like gleying.

It sounds like he was uncomfortable with his power as Twitter CEO but he couldn't get rid of that power (because of "the shareholders") so he let Twitter run on autopilot and vetoed everything that his executives tried to do. Unfortunately that's not a neutral position given that evil flourishes when Jack does nothing. (Clearly he's not a consequentialist.)

I think it depends a lot on the jurisdiction. In some countries there are laws around ethics and disclosure especially if you work in a certified occupation (i.e. a licensed profession, such as traditional engineering).

Software probably makes things even more hazy but in traditional engineering world there are very clear cut rules around professional ethics, personal liability and disclosure.
RSS has got to be the thing that Hacker News loves the most that every non-tech person on Earth doesn't care about.

I fail to see the equivalence. These are just loans with weirdly favorable terms. If the other bank had shareholders, then this would be a breach of the fiduciary duty. Otherwise it's just bad business? Bad business != fraud.
I understand that what I’m referring to as “left” is something that you don’t consider “left” because you’re left of that. I think this is semantics.

However I’m not sure how you’ve figured I’m far right since the only thing I’ve said is that I’m generally supportive of Elon, who is the most prominent businessman of the decade. “Far right” to me implies a fringe perspective, but I know that my views are shared by people from all walks of life, from tradesman to immigrants to high tech workers, men and women alike. This makes me think my views aren’t extreme.

I’ve lived in cities that do more of what you’re suggesting with the homeless and the incarcerated and I’ve only seen things get worse. I know self-proclaimed communists who live in safe cities and carry guns because they’re so paranoid. That sounds extreme to me. I’ve also lived in more socialist countries that provide for the poor so no one is homeless and it’s a terrible situation for anyone unfortunate enough to have to live in the community. They also have to strip citizens of freedoms in order to maintain order, which is unacceptable to me. Money and policy don’t go deep enough to solve these problems. For these reasons I don’t think the left that I’m describing or the left that you’re describing are going to lead us to a stronger future.

I hope you see that I have a reasoned perspective and I’m not invoking conspiracy theories. I always try to be balanced in my outlook.
>>> I'll usually buy a clump or two of water lettuce and water hyacinth in the spring, and then by the end of summer I have so much I have to fish it out of the pond to keep it from taking over completely.

To expand on this, if anyone is interested in water hyacinth: it is beautiful, but if you want it in your ponds, you _will_ have to clear it out by hand at some point. It grows unbelievably quickly, and if left unattended it will happily suffocate everything else in the pond.

I understand that your definition of freedom encompasses the NAP. So by your definition, harming someone blah blah blah.

I don't know if you're trolling or genuinely ignorant. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

The issue with the Individual Freedom schtick is that everybody has a different definition for what shouldn't be allowed while still saying their definition is "Individual Freedom".

Rich Libertarian's have property, so they say that Individual Freedom should include property ownership, and there should be a government who enforces these recognized deeds of ownership and evicts poor communists.

Poor communists don't have property, and so they say that property is theft, and that Individual Freedom should include the right to shelter, and there should be a government that takes property from Rich Libertarians.

Individual Freedom can have only one indisputable definition, and it's in the name: Individual Freedom means I can do anything I want. Unfortunately, that is paradoxical unless there is exactly one person.

As soon as we hedge, and say "well, individual freedoms means you can do anything that doesn't harm other people", then we open the floodgates to any and all rationalizations for anything. You can't drive a truck to work because it is causing climate change. You can't own this 50 acres in this scenic area because thats enough room for 250 houses. You can't be here at all because all this land is owned by Native Americans and you stole it. You can't preach that I'm going to hell because that harms me. You can't stop me from preaching that you're going to hell because that harms me.

etc. Meaningless.
