One approach that I think is really valuable in the face of this is helping people to lose ASAP while there's still time to change.

I think that was one of the key insights that united the early Agile people, the ones who pioneered it before it turned into a certification/consulting scam. Releasing early and often to actual users enables a level of discipline and humility that's hard to achieve otherwise. I think this was taken further by the Lean Startup folks, where you were supposed to be explicit about your hypotheses and then construct tests to validate/invalidate them. E.g.: https://rulez.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/validation-board...

I'm sorry it never caught on widely, but it has stuck with me. On any project I'm on, I structure the coding work such that as early as possible we can see if we are having the impact we aim for. That inevitably sucks early on as we put barely-adequate things in front of people and frequently get negative responses. But it really pays off over time, as you get to kill bad ideas early and use the savings to explore real solutions.

Sadly, I don't think this approach scales, at least with current management culture. In the short term, managers and execs benefit a lot more from seeming right than from being wrong in ways that lead to them eventually being right.
We will end up using good old banks to hold those assets… at least the regulations make them solvent.

We need to read history and see what happened when the banks weren’t regulated enough and we are letting the crypto zoo run free and bankrupt many people.

Such a bliss the “we don’t need traditional ecosystem to thrive”.

I know how this is going to end, we will replicate the finance ecosystem into the cryptosystem.

I still remember the “don’t be evil” slogan in google, let’s give random people the power to store all our crypto investment and let’s see what happens…
I made the mistake of talking about retro systems in a large (600~ plus) slack chat at work a while back. There was a new guy to the company who turned out to be a red teamer

He tried to argue that the kinds of ancient malware that XP would be vulnerable to (Blaster, Sasser, ILOVEYOU etc) were somehow still threats to be concerned about in 2022 (nearly 2023!) against modern operating systems because "I literally wrote my thesis on attacking Windows Defender"

Has anyone (aside from Dancoot on youtube) tried to actually threat model this kind of thing? I find it hard to believe that 20-30 year old malware can even function let alone be a threat either to modern machines or modern networks. There's no way my Windows 98 gaming PC is going to breach the security of my Win10 laptop
> "America" is in the unique position of having no culture -- barring "make money" -- to assimilate to

Which part of America are you from? America where I live absolutely has culture. Where I live this means things like sacred harp, country dances (contra, waltzes, English country, buck, etc.), bluegrass fiddle music, southern cooking (okra, smoked corn on the cob, etc.). Hollywood would have you believe we have no culture but we actually do.
I never said Twitter was protected by the 1st Amendment, that specifically is about government. I said once government (which is limited by the 1st) intervenes to try to get a company to stop free speech, that's an affront to the 1st Amendment. It's coercion. Do you really think governments don't try to kill speech and ideas through coercion? Do you really see no problem with that?

I have no idea why people like yourself try to twist the argument. Also, there is a thing like "principles" which aren't encoded into law but are encoded into society and makes it work quite well, which includes free speech. So, I can believe a platform should have the maximum amount of free speech possible...and that is not the same as saying it has or needs 1st Amendment protections.

For the amount of backlash HN gives to private companies for harvesting private data and handing it over to government...there are SUPRISING amounts of people here defending the government in coercing on this. Baffling.

What's wrong with that sentence? Phones are generally pretty horrific in my experience.

Dog-shit usability compared to a desktop computer, massive brain-draining time-sinking cheap dopamine-spiking apps which add virtually zero value to the world, 99% of which have no real reason of being an "app" in the first place.

Phones are horrific.
Here in Israel with proportional representation, every small party has outsized power since every one of them has enough power to vote down the current government by joining hands with the opposition. As a result, decisions that are undesirable by the majority are consistently made.

We are currently after an election but before forming a new government and as part of the coalition negotiations the upcoming government is trying to pass several laws to weaken Israel's democracy, including one that effectively strips the Supreme Court of its ability to override non-constitutional[1] laws and directives (and let's not mention the personal legislation).

I suspect then that the problem is not specifically in the voting system, and the voting system at best can be a contributing factor.

[1] - Technically Israel doesn't have a constitution and instead has "Basic Laws" that serve a similar function, let's not get into that :)
Many things "could make sense", but often do not in the common case.

Your optimization is a good example for something where jumping through explicit hoops would not only be palpable, but even help signify the intent of your code optimization, while protecting common code from nasty surprises.

Otherwise, we could also go back to earlier C days and, for example, let the compiler be silent about assigning a pointer of the wrong type without an explicit cast. That makes sense a lot of times, but still I want the compiler to tell me that I passed a struct foo* where a struct bar* was needed, or worse, a struct foo**.
Thanks for the feedback!

You can journal whatever you want; it's freeform text. The quantitative tracking is technically just for mood (although it's a scale from -5 to 5, so theoretically, you can track whatever you want as long as it fits on that scale).
That is a deep hole. I see there is a chain of certificates of trust for fine grain control to all the system parts beginning with the boot sequence. A lot more complicated than Unix systems of yore.
I am seeing currently w3c people pushing blockchain stuff in European cloud standardization activities. This really worrying me. This explains to me now why W3C seems so broken.

Falun Hong is a genuine cult. In the US they've become extremely intertwined with the far right (they run the Epoch Times which promotes antivax and other Trumpist stuff and is somehow EVERYWHERE in SoCal)

Also Jack Ma is no saint. He's pushed for the 996 hour system (9am-9pm, 6 days a week) which is illegal under Chinese labor law. Most of his grips with the Chinese government has nothing to do with "liberty". Unless you consider being able to exploit already disempowered workers a "right"

Can we stop trying to make this such a black/white issue? The fact that someone hates China doesn't make them somehow worthy of praise
That is... so much nicer than I expected.
There is no magic bullet, you don't have enough time to do everything and need to prioritize. To fit exercise in, you need to let something else go.

Doing it first thing in the morning is a trick to simplify prioritization. Do not check your phone until you exercised. Obviously go to bed earlier to get better sleep.
I agree static binaries or at the very least something akin to nix where every binary has a pinned dynamic lib.

T480s were manufactured in 2018, any third-party (non-manufacturer) warranty is of limited value. So at best they may be 5 years old which is pretty decent.

The problem with warranties these days is they are setup to simply replace the hardware, and not provide quality hardware in the first place.

Things I've noticed, most places which offer a third-party warranty will ensure the process for obtaining the warranty benefits is difficult and onerous, where it might take several months to get the replacement, and in the meantime you have no laptop, and then they only replace it with a like-model which may have the same problem, they'll do this multiple times for the length of the warranty, after which you'll almost certainly need to replace the device, while accounting for periods of time that you may not have the device. Unfortunately, many manufacturers have gone this route as well in recent years offering a 1 year manufacturers warranty and then 2-3 year support warranty. You used to be able to get business class laptops with a 3 year manufacturer warranty and it was manufactured so it wouldn't fail in that time (with quality components).

You'll have to decide what amount of risk you are willing to take. A new device is a lot easier argument to enforce a warranty, you'll still run into the issues with delays on the process if it fails, but there may be other tradeoffs for your use, you'll have to decide.

Coreboot also doesn't support the T480, looks like the T440P was the last model they support, but I could be wrong on that.As always do your due dilligence.

When I left, the company was starting to add load to a new undersea cable.

Turns out most of the wet plant (a fancy way to say something is submerged under the water) were HP/UX systems.

Submarine cables must last for 20 years minimum to be financially viable... So in 2035 they will still running.
You do exactly what Australia is doing and build PHES and dispatchable loads like electrolysis for fertilizer and smelting as well as adopting EVs.

Also your SA example is cherry picking a time when a bunch of transmission infrastructure has been destroyed because it was built to sub par standards and hit by a storm. When this happened last time there was only large centralised fossil fuel generation and there were weeks of blackouts and other problems. Seems like a pretty good case for more rooftop solar.

Because the voting map looked like this, and the UK just can't do that kind of subdivision:

Also, look how narrow the margins are on that scale bar. Most of those regions would need to be further subdivided, and the whole of the UK would end up like Baarle-Nassau: Baarle-Nassau

In C you sometimes have to pass int* instead of int, because you want null to signify that you aren't passing a value, rather than passing a value of 0. The two things aren't interchangeable. An empty string and a string of length 0 aren't the same thing. You'd just end up needing an extra boolean parameter for "is_null".
Bankman-Fried is ready to ‘face the music,’ prison official says
I don't expect this will happen. There's a good reason why floppy disks are no longer used, but I would be surprised if physical books ever go away.

Personally, as much as I like the convenience of digital books, there's nothing quite like the reading experience that comes with a printed physical book.
There was a referendum to change the voting system to Alternative Vote.

It's important to remember that the change on offer was itself deeply flawed. It was trying to apply a reasonable system for electing one person to elect a whole Parliament. However AV is not a form of proportional representation and would probably have resulted in an even less proportionate cohort of MPs at the following general election had the referendum result been the other way.

Some people were arguing at the time that it was a useful first step to establish popular support for the principle that FPTP had to go but others were arguing that AV was a poisoned chalice and voting for it implied that it was an acceptable alternative and would end the debate for a generation without really fixing the problem.
why?

The only reasons I can think to do this are 1) the onboard RAM has errors 2) the socketed RAMs specs are so different from the on board that it creates errors.
Maybe as a company.

The idea of the actual device seems very tied to a particular time, not ahead of it. The point was to record broadcast TV (so, reliant on the time when broadcast TV was the main way of getting TV) and the ability to skip ads (nowadays any streaming service worth watching doesn’t have ads anyway).

It sounds like a leaky tunnel.

Also, is it your private tunnel? I think it also looks at the language settings of the bulk of users coming from that IP address. As an example, try using any public VPN hosted in a German datacenter, with a German IP address on a German AS, but created by Iranians (either as help to circumvent the crackdown or as a honeypot; they routinely post these en masse on Telegram), and you'll be detected as Iranian and start getting results in Farsi.

Wordpress, as a development framework, sucks.
B&W is fine by me, color not necessary. Also fine with PoE and 10GBE if required. Seems crazy that the IMX477 is capable of so much more than what people are currently drawing out of it.

Any pointers on where to start? I've done raspiraw frame dumping with the RPi HQ camera but it's just going to be a non-starter given all the issues it has.
> I'm inclined to think that anything that went from the FBI to Twitter went through Twitter's Legal Department

Why would your theory about this be at all relevant when we have direct evidence (original emails, etc.) that the opposite is true, that there was no intermediation or oversight by Twitter legal in takedown requests?
The VC backed chains Solana and Helium do look like they are trending to zero.

ETH and BTC were not VC backed, and seem to have established some product-market fit. Lots of dev activity on ethereum codebase.
Musk doesn't seem interested in Tesla anymore, probably because he doesn't have much to look forward to.

He has to continue to lie about and fail to deliver full self-driving. He has to have a pointless war over plug standards in North America. And he has to watch competitors continue to ramp up EV production making Teslas a tougher sell because there's a lot more choice.
This is genuinely amazing. Like with any AI there are areas it's better at than others. I hope it doesn't go unnoticed just because people try typing "death metal" and are not happy with the results. This one seems to excel at 70-130BPM lo-fi vaporwave/washed out electronic beats. Think Ninja Tune or the modern lo-fi beats to study to. Some of this stuff genuinely sounds like something I'd encounter on Bandcamp or Soundcloud.

I think I'm beginning to crack the code with this one, here's my attempt at something like a "DJ set" with this. My goal was to have the smoothest transitions possible and direct the vibe just like I would doing a regular DJ set.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUBaHhDxkIc

I wonder if this could be the future of DJing or perhaps beginning of a new trend in live music making kind of like Sonic Pi. Instead of mixing tracks together, the DJ comes up with prompts on the spot and tweaks AI parameters to achieve the desired direction. Pretty awesome.
We shut down the entire economy in indecisive confused fashion for covid and the bill comes due. War with Russia towards the end of that has not helped.

> Better players make more money

Well you define "better players" as "those making more money"… so in the end you are proving your statement via tautology. Which is meaningless.

In any case, even admitting that meritocracy in football works (it probably doesn't)… so what? Most workers aren't professional football players.
I've tipped occasionally on these, but I've stopped. For anything transactional, I'm not leaving a tip. Having a waiter at a table has some relationship component to it, tipping makes sense. Choosing how much you value the meaningless 5 second interaction you just had with the person that took your order is ridiculous - if they want to add a service fee, fine, but the very fact that you're choosing how much to give them renders the whole thing pointless.
If nothing else, you probably see several megabytes' worth of JIT compilation whenever you visit a JavaScript-heavy web page. Same effect... namely, none at all.
You can speculate fine on decentralized exchanges.
If you hold tons of something that if you sell them all at the same time the price will drop the standard thing to do is to sell them over a period of time so you get the best price you can. The way Binance did it, they knew they wouldn't get the best price.

A good example of this is Tesla stocks and how Musk is selling them. He's not just dumping out all he wants to at this super high price he is slowly doing it. And it's still affecting share prices.
A cautionary tale: after living in Germany for generations, German Jews thought they were pretty well assimilated. The rest, as they say, is history.

I'd love to see this living in the Obsidian.md space. If I could work on my documents in the terminal on some machines while in graphical OS's on others... why yes please.
It blew my mind (in a bad way) when i went from CodeWarrior to GCC, and suddenly basic pointer typechecking was a minor warning that you had to enable instead of a hard compile error that was on all the time. My takeaway was that Unix people were lax because they didn’t have to worry about corrupting system data structures like we did on classic MacOS, AmigaOS, Windows pre-NT, etc.
I’d be better off in my relationships if I could master that technique.

> Doesn't look like it's working.

If it weren't working Russia would have steamrolled Ukraine in a week. Agree or disagree with the policy, but the US is threading the needle between giving Ukraine enough support to keep Russia from winning quickly and decisively, while not putting troops on the ground in a direct fight with Russia which would cause World War 3.

If that is indeed the goal, it has worked thus far. I disagree that this is a wise path, but it's their stated strategy.
At times I've seen people claiming a system is Turing complete even though it can't even implement an infinite loop.

For example, Excel spreadsheets (without scripting) can't loop infinitely as far as I know, and yet I've seen it claimed that they're Turing complete.

In the case of this article, what does it mean to say Peano arithmetic is Turing complete? Arithmetic only provides you with a way to manipulate numbers, it doesn't provide any way to loop AFAIK.
I wish all political discussion was as nuanced and intelligent as your comment.
>So, paradoxically, the low-effort nature of Slack has actually created barriers to communication in this case. (I have no idea how common this is, but I suspect, at very big companies, there are similar dynamics.)

I always think of this quote[0] from the great Byrne Hobart[1]:

>Slack is a bit like Adderall. Ask someone about it the week after they start using it, and they can’t praise it enough. Talk to them six months later, they’re back to baseline but now they have an addiction. And talk to them years after the fact, and they’re just regretful.

I wonder how expensive it is?
I have a hard time believing homogeneity is the most important factor. Cities are expensive in Europe and rural life isn't exactly popular among expats. Now take your pick between Europe, struggling to keep native talent over finances, using tax breaks for expats to win them over and causing bad blood among its citizens, their own country, or some other rich first world country.

The most common complaint in Europe is that we are emulating the US at the cost of the middle class and below.
Old version? Works on latest for me, but the CSS uses @layer which doesn't have great support with older browsers.
> Why is this?

Because EU is a puppet of USA and doesn't have strong enough protections to stop USA companies to acquire every single startup that exists in EU.

Most of that amazing USA made software is not done in USA. For example some of that is made by me… a guy who has never been in USA.
