I listened to a podcast about him and how frustrated any journalist that covers him get to be. There's this thing they jokingly call the "Elon effect" that experts in various fields commonly experience. It's when Elon starts talking about your field and making wild claims about something you actually know about and you start to realize what a fraud he is. And only then do you go online and you find out experts in all these other various fields have had the same experience but this clown world keeps turning and talking about him like he's some kind of visionary when he usually has no idea what he's talking about

Are a lot of "private-ish" repos (perhaps something that supports a real company) using Github and not self hosting? I presume this is the case, but it seems dumb.

Why not just self-host?
mostly accidental. you're working on a prototype, so to just get started you use a const at the top of your code with an API key, this then gets checked in and you then realise 'oh shit' , but by this point its within gits tree. It can still be removed, but its not a straightforward process.
In that respect I was talking about the journalist bans rather than the elonjet bans. Now that I see he has weighed in on this issue it does seem to be that he was involved in the policy. The policy itself seems at odds with his previous statements but the no doxxing rule does seem to be arguably a reasonable thing to have.

Whether those banned were actually in violation of those rules I don't know. I would have said remains to be seen, but I fear such details will be lost in the news churn.
I don't think Solid is a good idea for securely storing data..

If you are worried about data loss, Solid gives you no advantages: Pods are stored on regular cloud services (website mentions AWS and Digital Ocean), so the data lost is no worse than regular cloud (+ cloud-provided backups if applicable).

If you are worried about unauthorized access, Solid is actually worse than regular providers: instead of having 1 party who can leak the data (AWS), you know have AWS + Pod Provider + Solid Apps (+ maybe identity provider as well? not sure how this part works). If any of them are compromised, they can copy your data.

If you are worried about uptime/availability, Solid is also worse, as there are many more moving pieces which all have to be up (see previous paragraph).

Where Solid is supposed to shine is decentralized data sharing with other people or with other apps. Like an online editor which saves to your pod.
All cause mortality for US source NVSS:

2018 - 2,839,205

2019 - 2,854,838

2020 - 3,383,729

Expected deaths for a given year are based on a combination of factors such as the population age, and function fitting previous trends. It would have been around 2.9 million for 2020.

So the raw excess death count for 2020 is somewhere south of 500k.

Many of these deaths were due to covid directly. The vast majority of which were people already at end of life, very elderly and with significant comorbidities.

We're still doing research on how many of these excess deaths were due to downstream effects of covid interventions, such as lack of access to care, deaths of despair, etc...

Also, when researching all cause mortality in 2020 and 2021 make sure to take into account fentanyl, which has exploded during those years and account for over 100,000 deaths in 2021 alone.

>The way I have been using it is to partially update my DOM based on some user interaction (either a POST, PUT, DELETE), by returning html. This makes updates html -> html vs json -> frontend framework -> html.

oh this clicked. Now i get what htmx is doing. its basically doing a react-ish way of UI changes without a full page reload (which thymeleaf would have done).

so what happens if i click something that needs to go to another "page"? do you "swap" the html out with the html of the other page ? or do you trigger a full page reload.

This is common in truth-on-card transit systems, many of which were conceived before internet connectivity at terminals was a thing. Often the cards needed to work on busses, etc. that didn’t have internet connectivity and couldn’t validate the balances. Even still there isn’t necessarily reliable internet in tunnels, etc.

Newer variants of similar cards are regarded as more secure, such as MiFare’s DESFire line which is used in the SF Bay Area (Clipper).

Not everyone, but plenty of people in the community and outside of it see themselves as trans women.

The western idea of transness is better (more freedom, less suffering) so of course it is seeing adoption worldwide. I'm the exact opposite of a cultural relativist. I think it is morally
good for the best cultural ideas to win.

In any case it still doesn't change the fact that something resembling trans people have been around in every single culture for a very long time. It is because transness is universal, a part of the human condition.

I'm sure they do, but decent version on some of these ancient systems would be... challenging. I've worked at a company that uses some pretty ancient hardware (emulated these days) for which I think there is a git client, but I don't think it works so well, so they used some equally ancient version control system.
I'm gonna disagree with that statement about Blender. It is still growing and will probably drive a lot of commercial 3D suites into extinction. It just hasn't happened yet.
And the new poll has a longer time period, so his bots can come in and rescue him (or he can have more time for a Twitter employee to modify the count).

As a bonus if he actually runs the poll for 24 hours before acting it’s effectively a 1 day ban, which was the “Tomorrow” option from the prior poll. It’s just laughable.
There’s nothing wrong with asking for evidence, but as we can see from your other comments, there is no way for anyone outside of Twitter to definitively prove what the accounts tweeted before they were banned.

A certain amount of skepticism is healthy, but allowing people to flood the water with BS allows them to get away with lying more often than not (people just throw their hands up and say “who knows!”). Ties go to the liar.

At a certain point you have to pay a repetitional penalty and Elon has spent more than his fair share from that account. If he’s going to claim something I’m not even going to entertain it until he proves proof.
CEOs of public companies get special treatment.

In this context it is a bit of a reach but I don't think they're wrong, and I don't think there's a reason to expect normal workers and CEOs to follow the same logic.

VSCode doesn't support an API to put outputs inline in the text editor. IIRC there have been longstanding feature requests for it but it would probably have a performance hit. The closest thing is having a separate output window on the right side

>I far preferred the UX and design of Atom, but I eventually caved

That's my experience exactly. I still haven't been able to configure VS Code to fully match the experience I want with respect to keybindings and subtle look-and-feel and functionality details.

Aside from the infrequent case of hanging when opening very large files I had no real issues with Atom and could have happily kept using it.

For what it's worth Pulsar (https://pulsar-edit.dev/) appears to be a community-maintained fork of Atom. (For that matter one of the primary Atom creators is working on https://zed.dev/.) But personally I got tired of swimming upstream and just caved to VS Code.

(I am a little tempted to go back to emacs, which was my editor of choice before Atom, but that's ends up being an enormous time-sink for me anyway.)

> Even though it's being sunset, I look forward to using it for years to come.

I'd be very, very careful with that. My understanding is that Atom will no longer receive any updates, including security updates. Atom has had a remote code execution vulnerability in the past that could be triggered by simply opening a package readme IIRC.

Atom is deeply integrated with the browser/Node.js ecosystem, and as such using a stale version sounds potentially very dangerous. I sincerely wish it was different, and that we could just continue using unmaintained applications as long as they "work", but that is sadly not the state of software today.

As I understand it, this rule allows one to have an unambiguous parse of a sanskrit sentence into its constituent parts (it feels a bit like "the longest prefix match" rule used in packet forwarding!). My question is, did Pāṇini not specify this rule in his 3959 sūtras or was it somehow missed?

> Blake3 was designed from the ground up to be highly optimized for vector instructions operating on four vectors, each of 4 32-bit words.

This is true, and the BLAKE family inherits this structure from ChaCha, but there's also more to it than that. If you have enough input to fill many blocks, you can run multiple blocks in parallel. In this situation, rather than dividing up the 16 words of a block into four vectors, you put each word in a different vector, and the words of each vector represent the same position in different blocks. (I.e rather than representing columns or rows, the vectors point "out of the page.) There are several benefits to this arrangement:

1. You don't need to do that diagonalization operation anymore.

2. If your CPU supports "instruction-level parallelism" for vector operation, working across the four words/vectors in a row gets to take advantage of that.

3. Best of all, you're no longer limited to 4-word vectors. If you have enough input to fill 8 blocks (AVX2) or 16 blocks (AVX-512), you can use those much larger instruction sets.

This is all easy to take advantage of in a stream cipher like ChaCha, because each block is independent. With a hash function, things are more complicated, because you usually have data dependencies between different blocks. That's why the tree structure of BLAKE3 (or somewhat similarly, KangarooTwelve) is so important for performance. It's not just about multithreading; it also about SIMD. See section 5.3 of the BLAKE3 paper for more on this.
We went to the trouble of setting up ELK and I was excited, but I never use it any more. You can't scroll/search through the logs as fast as vi and grep. You have to click to see more log lines. And I can write an alias to tail a log so I don't have to log into a UI.

I completely agree. For the last couple years I've used VSCode for everything _except_ interactive Python development because Atom + Hydrogen is just too good.

This is a ridiculous comparison because there is little to no power differential between Elon and his shareholders while a significant one exists between an employee and his employer.

These kinds of comparisons, where two vaguely similar situations are considered equal regardless of the wealth, power, or influence of the participants remind me of this quote by Anatole France:

> The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.
Perhaps it is a myth with no basis. That said, increased supply decreasing demand is usually the null case, yes? So I'd want to see evidence that additional workers do not supress wages.

I'd like to think I'm smarter than the average nutcase who tries to assassinate a celebrity, and I would not have known how to get that information before people started posting it online. I wouldn't have even known it was possible.

These sentence embeddings transform chunks of text into n-dimensional vectors. The key feature of these kinds of embeddings is that semantically similar pieces of text produces similar vectors (even when the words themselves aren't the same!) Once you have that, you can do all kinds of things. To take a few of the use cases you listed, imagine that you had a corpus of documents (perhaps responses to a survey, or data you scraped/pulled from a service like Twitter or Reddit, etc.). You can now cluster those responses (find groups of vectors that are close to each other in n-dimensional space); you can find outliers (find the vectors that are far from others); build recommendation engines (find vectors mathematically similar to vectors representing a user's previous activity), etc.
If it's not trained on the legacy code, I have my doubts it will be able to re-write it well enough to replace a human baby sitting it, particularly when we're talking about large projects. As impressive as ChatGPT is at spitting out code examples, what gives you confidence that and LLM could rewrite a million lines of legacy code it has never seen before? That seems to be well beyond the ability of any AI that's been developed so far.
Wow, good call. The car part was probably from season 7 episode 5, which first aired in 1997. I skimmed the video and didn't see the art part, so maybe that was a different show. Apparently it's was 25 years ago, which explains my fuzzy memory of it.
