Predicting future actions based on past behavior is not some kind of magic, nor is it guesswork. People didn't throw a chip on black and spin the roulette wheel -- they made a very reasonable assumption and ended up correct. Whether there was hate involved or not is irrelevant.
Well, I would say that he didn't lose it so much as he spent it to destroy Twitter out of spite. In which case he must be getting value for his money, he certainly seems to be enjoying himself.

You’re talking about the contents of the laptop. Everyone else is talking about the tweets the Biden campaign asked Twitter to remove. The Biden campaign did not ask Twitter to remove all content regarding the laptop, they asked Twitter to remove a few specific tweets which contained pornographic images of Hunter Biden non-consensually posted to the internet.
>> Standards are necessary and help of course. But the real power always lies with the implementations. There is no compliance without enforcement.

You are correct.

Compliance depends on the implementation developer / maintainer. If the standard exists and is agreed upon, at least users can petition the implementation developer / maintainer and say "Your implementation does not conform to section 3, paragraph 2, line 1 of the standard. The expected behavior is X, but your implementation does Y. Please fix it."

If a standard does not exist, then who is to say what the correct behavior should be?

If there is a standard, but no one follows it, then perhaps the standard needs to be adjusted. (Why is the standard not being followed? Were bad ideas standardized?
Did the standards committee follow after one vendor's implementation to the detriment of other vendors' implementations? etc.)
> People who don't bat an eye at paying $10 for lunch will balk at paying $10 for a software license for some tool or app that saves them a ton of time and effort. Until this changes, open source contributors will continue to struggle to capture some of the few dollars floating around. Too many will just decide that it just isn't worth it.

That's never going to change (how would it?). People have been saying similar things in every industry since the dawn of the dollar. It's just human nature, and anybody waiting for that change are going to die waiting.
First, because ultimately code is about getting something that works. Whereas ultimately art is about expressing yourself and connecting with another. That's why artists get into it. It's not about getting a nice end product alone it's about expressing yourself in the form of an end product. For artist, the art lies is in this expression (and in recognizing this expression in others).

A coder might like to code, but they also understand that if the program works correctly, then it doesn't matter if they or an AI coded it. Sure, they'd be out of a job, but it would still be a valid program.

Whereas an artists sees an AI work not just as something that will take their job, but also something that doesn't fulfil the purpose of art. They see it as a chef would see a dish not just cooked by a robot, but also made up of styrofoam.

Another reason of course is even more pragmatic. Coders was high paying well cushioned jobs, and they feel they can work as coders for the next 20-30 years, even with AI rising.

Whereas artists (especially in illustration and graphic design) are already squeezed, and making a pittance, and they see the little they manage to get diminishing because of AI, not in 20-30 years, but here and now: less prestigious publications, cheapo ads, websites, etc. will already start increasingly use some AI service to generate illustrations.
> better methods than training our models to intentionally say untrue things

That's what we do with children and propaganda.
We aren't misinterpreting your analogy. We're saying it's a terrible analogy.

I'll dumb it down. We're saying that you can be be a free speech absolutist and still not allow others to put GPS on your car for the purpose of tracking you. We're saying that you can't be a free speech absolutist while using your power to censor public information because it reflects negatively on you.
I believe the account he banned vs unbanned has a distinction. One account alligns with his long term strategy for $x whereas the other competes against his $x strategy.

It's difficult to say what said strategy is or may be but it'd be foolish to assume his decisions haven't been considered and vetted. But yes, intent is not well understood at all.
The first item on the list is cacao, the rust bindings for AppKit. And that is IMO the best option for building MacOS apps in rust.
There's no evidence to believe this block is intentional and designed to prevent access to encrypted services, as opposed to a false-positive from whatever provider they're buying the "adult domains" list.

If it was an attempt to ban encryption they'd block much more.
This is a great perspective. I can troubleshoot a lot of PC issues but would be pretty helpless with diagnosing a grounding issue or wireless interference. I recall my dad identifying a DOS-era virus that my cousin and I introduced to a PC via a DOOM cheat downloaded over a BBS, and he showed me the assembly and patched out the virus for us so the cheat continued to work. I would have a hard time doing the same thing.
What motivates the opposite?

It's true that there's always generational tensions, and the funny thing is that people now young are going to do exactly the same thing when they get older. In that sense, it's cyclic.

But that doesn't mean we shouldn't discuss gaps or issues unique to a generation. In the interest of the new generation as well as the older ones.

I'd say smartphone-addiction is a serious and impactful one. One of my friends owns a wood processing company. These youngsters simply abandon their station (a massive machine) and go take a dump for 30 mins, playing on their phone. Multiple times per day. Simply shutting down production altogether.

Another friend owns a logistics company, order picking and such. He doesn't want to take away their phones, tried to solve it with warnings. Yet he keeps finding them hiding in shelves, on their phones. Like heroine addicts.

My sister-in-law works in a large grocery store, and reports that this generation calls in sick 4 times more than anybody else. They very regularly simply can't be bothered to show up at all.

Earlier young generations were not this broken, unproductive, disloyal, addicted and useless. It's a real and serious issue.
Can we please have some intellectually stimulating discussion, or thoughtful jokes, or at least lowbrow humor that is somewhat original instead of these reddit-tier tired old memes..?
European parliament backs ‘historic’ reboot to EU’s digital rulebook
There will come a day where I will have to give MaraDNS some form of DNS-over-HTTPS and/or DNS-over-TLS support if I want to keep it relevant. Right now, 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9, and 4.2.2.1 all still support old school DNS-over-UDP, and Deadwood (part of MaraDNS) can do full recursion with just the root servers too.

But, over the medium term, we will probably hit a point where unencrypted DNS stops being mainstream, just as unencrypted HTTP by and large stopped being used in the 2010s.

This means that Deadwood (the caching/recursive DNS part of MaraDNS) will grow from being a tiny, efficient, 71680-byte server to being something a good deal more huge (TLS, HTTPS, etc. are really bloated compared to good old DNS-over-UDP).
I was lucky to get a laptop before a smartphone, which probably influenced my opinions greatly. But I'm thinking that for most kids now, they get a smartphone long before a personal computer. Perhaps this is part of it.

Maybe parents should supply their children with a bluetooth keyboard from the get go and make a real effort to teach kid how much faster they can type on it?

I say this while I'm typing on my phone, so who knows ;)

Dude off topic but are you named for Vonnegut's George Helmholtz? If so absolutely excellent s/n, I love that character so much.
It’s not just remaining low level, the trend has been moving steadily toward lower level. The primary reason is performance. It’s hard to squeeze the best performance out of the high level APIs. Another reason is because the people who care the most and get involved in the API and standards committees are people who know the APIs and their limitations inside and out, and care deeply about performance; people like game engine render devs, browser developers, OS developers, and hardware developers. And so newcomers and the ease of learning these APIs aren’t well represented. On one hand, there’s a valid argument to be made that people can write wrapper libraries if they want easy-to-use libraries. On the other hand, some of us really miss how easy and fun using SGI’s GL library was before it turned into OpenGL.
Paywall :(

Does the plan apply in Europe? I wonder if the knowing changing of course will spur faster action out of the EU when my understanding was their existing setup was already non-compliant.

> This simply isn't true. Only C/C++ people have ever cared about having multiple implementations and have to cling to the catastrophe that those two standards are because of it.

This comment is so blatantly wrong and detached from reality that it makes me wonder if it's just a good old fashioned troll.

You'd be hard-pressed to find any production programming language which does not have multiple independent implementations.

Can you link me to anything showing the New York Post published pictures of Hunter's dick? I can't find any. The closest I can find is reporting from this year on a sex tape published by Radar Online that shows some non-full-frontal stills.

The reporting in 2020 had emails that showed Hunter arranging meetings with Joe that Joe denied, texts telling associates not to refer to Joe Biden by name, as well as an email where Hunter would be holding money for "the big guy."

It looks like this could be quid pro quo official corruption, but there's not enough there yet to be sure. It needs to be investigated.

We appointed a special prosecutor to investigate Bill Clinton because it looked like his real estate investment was too good to be true and he had a dodgy tax deduction. We appointed a special prosecutor to investigate Trump based on non-specific allegations of collusion. The evidence here is at least as strong as it was in those cases.

I thought the court ordered Musk to buy Twitter? I wasn't paying terribly close attention, so maybe I misunderstood something? Also, what was the November statement where Musk said he wouldn't fire most of Twitter? I missed that one.
We are not a monolith. I have many highly upvoted comments here pointing out that musks concept of free speech has always been half baked and would surely turn into “speech for me” once he’s actually running things.

Entertaining, because I still run IntelliJ and CLion on a decade old Lenovo T430 running Linux with nothing more than a RAM upgrade and overall it works more smoothly now than it did 10 years ago.

This is due as much due to massive. improvements in the JRE itself over that time period in addition to IntelliJ itself.

I’m vaguely familiar with the Linux kernel enough to write drivers and contribute the odd mm or vfs patch over the years. But more pertinent - I develop an IntelliJ plugin.

I was asking for something specific and the response just gets more vague.

The public data about the deal seems to indicate that backers wouldn't care as they have solid collateral from Musk personally in form of Tesla stock, so unless Tesla goes down as well, the Twitter deal will be profitable for them as all the losses are on Musk.

He trashes people who trash talk his cars. Even if you happened to die while testing his auto pilot feature. Yeah. He will trash talk you while you are rolling in your grave thinking Elon was god. And then god comes to show you how amazing your god was.

He trashed talk a journalist immediately after the journalist complained he had to journey thru cold with out heater because his batteries would not last until the next charging point.

He trashed talk the short sellers.

He trashed talk the ones who supported the short sellers.

He trashed talk the ones who might as well be supporting the short sellers, e.g. sec aka shortseller enrichment commission aka security exchange commission.

He is a small guy with a oversized largely sensitive ego.

But most notoriously, he is a terrible public speaker. Like my public speaking teacher would be more ashamed at him than me.

Personally, I'm burned out with the over-hyped scientific announcements that are many years away before anything of significance comes, or the battery improvements that don't show up and have some impractical gotchas.

Steelmanning requires the person you're talking to to be arguing in good faith, not the actual subjects of the narrative being steelmanned. The whole point of steelmanning is to grant those subjects good faith even if you personally think it's unwise, because the person you're talking to may disagree...
You’re right, but only for now

I’m having trouble finding the original statscan article, but according to their projections even if you drastically increase immigration even higher than it is today Canada will still eventually face a population decline. Immigration only slows down the decline. I can’t help but think that the world is experiencing a more subtle and slow version of Children of Men
I am being honest here and not trying to score any points or "own" you: you might want to re-read your comments, because you don't come across as someone looking to update "priors", you come across as an Elon fanboi who has somehow decided to go to bat for him in the HN comments.
She just got the role, why would she no longer work there? Presumably she was put there to enable this, after Yoel Roth abruptly left (and was subsequently defamed as a pedo by Elon, what's with the guy and pedophiles).
>What you are showing here is a very severe lack of empathy in my opinion

Where did I do that? I wasn't saying that smartphones should be the norm for everything , I was jusy saying how society usually sees smartphone ownership as a necessity in certain countries because they reduce the friction for many communication and organization task that would otherwise be much more difficult. I wasn't saying that's how I want it to be or that this is a good thing, I'm saying how things are in the real world and in which direction they are going.

Like for example in my country, parent-teacher communication regarding school and child matters is done via WhatsApp/Telegram. Is that good? No, obviously not. Ideally we'd have an internal school chat/meesaging system with logins for parents and teachers like how proably things are in Scandinavian countries I imagine. But since my country is poor and schools could never afford to pay market rate devs and sys-admins to implement and maintain such communication systems, the likes of Telegram and WhatsApp took over this role because they're free, convenient, frictionless and since "everyone already has a smartphone" they already know how to use these apps.

So there you go, that's how the likes of WahtsApp have such a huge market share in the lives of all people and businesses, especially in developing countries.

>I don't like being a third class citizen when I want to connect to my bank, to my COVID appointment or, god forbid, interact with the government machine.

I'd be curious where this is the case. There are enough "old-school" banks where you don't need a smartphone, and stuff like government interactions are usually regulated so that they can be accessible for people without smartphones and also for people with disabilities. Even in developing countries. Digitization of government serivices has been implemented to make things more efficient and reduce the need for paperwork, commuting and waiting in lines, not to completely replace the old systems.
Openly mocking trans people, saying their desire to be referred to by pronouns that match their gender is a "woke mind virus" that will "destroy society" (this from a guy who named his child "X Æ A-12" mind you), amplifying the current LGBTQ == pedophile/groomer propaganda push, retweeting conspiracy bullshit about Paul Pelosi's sexuality, blaming him for his own assault while the man was still in the hospital... if these seem middle of the road to you, then perhaps it is the perception you have of your own views that is skewed.

> But we can break this pattern; we can find our own answers to those questions, and if it’s up to us, the answer does not need to be that answer we’ve been taught, capital.

Can we, without changing the environment we are embedded in, without changing capitalism?

Under capitalism, all economic activity is increasingly subsumed by quest for increasing capital -- and under neo-liberal capitalism, all activity is increasingly economic activity, to better serve the quest for increasing capital (to open up more places for investing capital).

I think we can and should resist it, that's fine. I think it's good to recognize and point out what we're losing, and to urge resistance, as OP does, I'm not critisizing OP at all.

It's just to have any chance of success, we probably have to talk about the system we are embedded within and how to change that too, not just limit ourselves to software production as an imaginary closed system.

A different tack: I suppose for software production to escape becoming nothing more than capital intended to benefit people who own capital while reproducing capital -- software production would have to try not to be an economic activity, since all economic activity in our system ends up the former. Software production that was not economic activity was the original fantasy of many involved in original open source software production, I think literally exactly that. That... is now how it's gone. Why not? Would be a starting point for extending the locus of focus from software production on it's own to the social-political-cultural system of capitalism it is embedded in.
The psychology of “want” vs “need”. People need to eat and so the cost of it is justified and people will pay. The wants are weighed against the needs and are rarely justified unless the individual’s needs are met.
There is also the scenario that tsc is really not that good, and the discrepancies are not a problem enough to avoid potential stc benefits. This can eventually phase out tsc in typescript altogether, the core typescript team making stc the official implementation. This is especially credible with rust having good support with wasm, keeping the js runtime compatibility of tsc.

Are they really that nice? I've been in a few but never owned one. I hear a lot about fit and finish issues unbefitting a car of that price range.

What does a Model S get you that an S-class doesn't, or a Model 3 against, I don't know, an Audi A4? Is it just all about that electric drivetrain?
