The repo is all about the Apple-specific bits of doing aarch64 assembly programming for Apple's hardware and OS. Most of the comments already in this thread are about the ways Apple differs from standard aarch64.

You may not like that Apple has created their own brand around their implementation of aarch64, but that's hardly reason to pretend that there is not a meaningful distinction to be made.
You've hit the nail on the head, and this is, I think, why the media types do not like it.

And, honestly, if you look at the "anti-musk" "left-wing" journalists who are on there. All they seem to do is complain that it's not twitter and demand changes to accommodate them and their ilk better.

I think they just want to be intellectuals in John Mastodons court, where they feel they have access to power and can enjoy it vicariously. Then they can tell us breathlessly about how John is going to revolutionise the world and "make it a better place" all over again.
I wouldn't say being able to code is a requirement to build and market software these days. You could get decently far just glueing together libs in Js/Py until VC funding.

> You're misunderstanding the thread. So let me lay it out.

You're misrepresenting the story.

One big omission is this:

> On October 14, 2020, the New York Post published BIDEN SECRET EMAILS, an expose based on the contents of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop:

> Twitter took extraordinary steps to suppress the story, removing links and posting warnings that it may be “unsafe.” They even blocked its transmission via direct message, a tool hitherto reserved for extreme cases, e.g. child pornography.

It wasn't. https://nypost.com/2020/10/14/email-reveals-how-hunter-biden... Find me a picture of penis in this news or prove that mtaibbi had somehow distorted this.

They treated a legitimate news, that was obtained by gray means as a child porn and de-ranked it.

For foreign government owned accounts too?
> Now Reddit (one of the largest sites on the internet) does what Mastodon does and forces new users to choose before using an account.

It doesn't though - creating an account doesn't tie you permanently to a particular subreddit. I would guess, without checking, that they will suggest some subreddits to subscribe to, and if you try to sign up from a particular subreddit's page then maybe it'll subscribe you to that subreddit. But if you joined the wrong subreddit at the start then you're fine - you can unsubscribe from that, and subscribe to another, and your account is still the same account.
I'm trying to get something like this, but here's my situation:

- I have two M1 Macs, running MacOS

- I have a Ryzen desktop that dual-boots Windows 11 and NixOS 22.11

I would like to have one dotfiles repo with all my configs and home-manager setup, as well as the system / hardware config for the bare-metal NixOS installations.

I have gotten these working independently, but I still can't quite make the leap in a single repo to:

- Having some config be machine-specific

- Having other config be OS-specific

- On a particular machine (same OS - macOS), having some slightly different config, because it's a work machine vs personal (e.g. different .gitconfig setups).

Can all of the above be addressed with Nix?

There seems to be an assumption either you have gone all-in using NixOS (e.g. in a VM inside host OS, or bare-metal), or you are just using the package manager (+ a subset of home-manager), e.g. macOS or WSL inside Windows.

But on the whole, 80% of what I want to set up and configure is machine-agnostic (NeoVIM, fish shell, basic CLI utilities, etc), and I use direnv/shell.nix in individual project folders to load the tooling for that project.

Does blocking elements through CSS prevent all traffic to the designated site, or only prevent it from displaying?

I do this frequently simply because I find such elements visually annoying. I'd be all the happier if doing so also disabled tracking.

I'm referring not only to iframe elements, but the whole slew of social-share link-litter that's so prevalent on websites now.
Maybe my perception is off, but it seemed to me that torrenting really dropped off a cliff when Netflix was dominant, and had basically everything available on it.

Then, when the streaming service market blew up because the content owners wanted to make more money by only offering their content on their own service (Disney+, CBS all access, etc.), torrenting went back up because it was no longer inexpensive for a streaming subscription, since you needed a dozen of them to cover everything you wanted to see (with usually only one show on one service that you care about).
I guess you can use the term however you want, but FWIW if you say "frequently" and mean "at all", it makes it a lot harder to understand the point you're trying to make.
HN would throttle my posting if I replied to everyone, so I'll just pick this comment, which speaks most directly to my experience, and thank everyone while thanking you. Do you remember if there were any tweaks you needed at the beginning, especially to get all the hardware working?
Or, in many other countless examples, people got canned for saying something that goes against the mainstream media.

Yes this is annoying. Ideally my computer should just do what I want it to, and not gaslight me into whatever metrics Microsoft program managers are optimizing for to get their bonuses…as in selling more OneDrive or Xbox live subscriptions.

> Adding “reddit” to the query is the best option so far.

Case in point. The fact that this works really well for this type of content means that Google has failed. Now whether they failed deliberately or not is a different question.

In either case, search needs to be demonopolized. The truth is we don’t even know what search would be like without the Google hegemony. Even if all language models do is force Google to innovate and improve it’s worth every penny.
Ah yes, that 79-pound iPhone repair kit to fix a 1.1-ounce battery. The review of it was pretty interesting [0]. It's possible, but it's not exactly what I'd call user serviceable. There are a hojillion kits on Amazon which all include all the necessary tools to take the phone apart - triwing screwdriver, pentalobe screwdriver, impossibly small 00 phillipshead screwdriver, etc - so anyone that can follow youtube directions and has a steady hand can do it. It's just way harder than it needs to be so under the proposed law, they'd have to make it easier.

Sure, so they need to remain arms-length from government then.

Yup.
Because of the massive needs for modern AAA games, budgets have increased dramatically, which leads to more risks for publishers and distributors, which leads to more conservatism in game design. Look at things like open-world games: we cannot have 2 models for a given type of objects, so we have a lot of designers churning out variations. This is mindless, thankless, and hugely expensive. I soir think that more AI to speed up this sort of things would be a good thing. Yes, there would not be as much demand for 3D modellers. Instead of having 20 people, you’d have 3 and a bunch of computers. On the other hand, it would be much easier to create large assets for both AA and AAA games.

As usual, the devil is in the details. But we need more nuance in these debates.

This is also true of Mastodon. If you join an instance and change your mind you can switch instances and take all your follows/followers/posts etc. with you.

In both situations it is a major interruption to the sign up process and forces you to confront what you want out of the platform before using your account though -- I just wonder if there's anyway around that, Reddit seems to have decided there isn't one.
I don’t recall any instruction on it, and I was definitely creating stacks at age 8 or 9. I recall it being quite straightforward. I made a slide show presentation about subliminal messages for my 7th grade science class (1992 I think)

This reminds me of a similar experience I had, over a decade ago now, with RE'ing Flash-based eBook viewers and converting their often simply-a-wrapped-SWF formats back into something (relatively) sane like PDF. Those who have eBooks that are either a single SWF or a collection of them will know what I mean.

I don’t think so. Unlike online forums, people attend MIT for considerations far more important to them than politics. MIT students are also typically less politically minded than other top schools
That is continually the issue with Telsa: not necessarily the failure of the car or FSD or whatnot, but the failure when success was oversold to the point of embellishment.

Thanks for yr response. I've read Pynchon but not DeLillo, which is why I asked the question.

> That said I've more or less stopped reading fiction, feel like after hundreds of attempts I have yet to find anything life changing enough to be worth the investment.

This was interesting. I'm not going to argue against you stopping reading fiction because I don't see reading as a necessarily 'virtuous' activity. I think there can be value in it but there can be value in doing other things instead. I personally feel that I have come across a number of books in my time that were somewhat 'life changing' but I never read in a quest to find such books; my reading has always been done for experience/curiosity.

Zero proof that the government demanded Twitter do anything.
SMTP is to Postfix as ActivityPub is to Mastodon. If you're not technical enough to care about the distinction between protocol and implementation (as most users are not), then the distinction is largely academic. You can register on a server running Mastodon and communicate with anyone on any other server running Mastodon or with anyone on any server running any of the other ActivityPub implementations (Pleroma, Misskey, etc).
True, I am paying for my mistakes with a huge cost
Thanks for this Xmas present, benbreen. I was reading Mondo2000 in the early 90s as a prepubescent while learning HyperCard. It ended up making me good friends at a particularly insane time of NYC history.

I figured out how to produce music with HyperCard, using audio samples, with the 8-bit mono 22khz audio-in on the Macintosh IIsi. Using a program called Soundedit, I could build, chop and render multitrack audio files to one file. I couldn’t hear them before rendering, so it was mostly a visual waveform editing process.

I would then get the rendered audio files into a master HyperCard stack’s resource fork using ResEdit, and sequence songs and albums through HyperTalk scripting. Albums would be a page of buttons that played individual songs, with graphics, and then a script to play songs in sequence that I could record to cassette tapes easily.

I would press the album’s “Make Tape Side 1” HyperTalk script button and record on the tape deck at the same time, then flip the tape and press “Side 2” when the tape hit the end, after hearing that old helpful mechanical button pop sound. Boom, production.

Good times, part of the foundation of my entire life. Making music that way made me some of the realest friends you can have. HyperCard ruled
>Only $595!

Which is $1,835 in current dollars. How long did it take for the Commodore 64 to drop to $99? It's amazing how rapidly computers advanced during that era and how quickly the prices declined, at least until the RAM crisis.
Bacteriophages in the bloodstream is different from our gut. Our gut has a lot of bacteria too but the immune system rarely bothers with them till they start popping up outside the guy. We've coevolved with phages for a long time. So our immune system knows that they are mostly benign but don't like them hanging around the bloodstream and flush them out pretty quick
I am also surprised about that. I hope that is not the case.
'Better' is always subjective - methane spills from a 1 km long shipping vessel is a lot of potent greenhouse gas back in the air, with an end point issue of using the methane without the C binding and creating CO2 - versus the ammonia with just Nitrogen as waste (or going into ag soils).

Mind you ammonia is an irritating gas and no fun spilled in water at sea .. so, yeah.

The main take home point is that the argument against hydrogen because it's a tiny slippery hard to teansport molecule is a complete furphy - there are other options.
Will try to shift my mental mod like this, thanks

hypermedia as the engine of application state

"while using use the State (~millions of people) as their support network"

That is such a misreading of what I wrote I have to wonder if you are being deliberately obtuse. I wrote "There are only 8 or 9 people in the world with whom I can have good and challenging conversations." I think it was clear what scale and type of conversation I was discussing.
I understand that Linux may not be for everyone, but I have not used anything else since 1999 at least. I stick with Debian, even on my desktop, in spite of it not always being the most updated. But it is rock solid. YMMV
> If you can add 2% of revenue/quarter or save 5-10% of an expense, you can name your price (as long as it's below the amount of revenue you generated or money you saved)

this is fantasyland pricing. the reality is that

1) its often very hard to know how much revenue or expense improvement was directly attributable to your thing and people will err against you. you often need to be in the ballpark of 10x better than the “hire someone to do it in house” option.

2) people will look at comparables for pricing and it is very hard (not impossible) to charge above your peers no matter what business value you provide. if you have the audacity to claim, as many do, that you have no peers, then good luck convincing a remotely critical person that you should be paid for your service rather than you paying them for using their time for your market research .

> ethologists have been making similar conclusions about altruism for a long time now

However those conclusions were not backed by such a large and objective, replicable study that had a good control group.

> The catch is that said altruism is rather strongly affected by parochiality, meaning that it's weaker towards the outgroup, and conflict of interests between the ingroup

Nope. If you read the details, you will note that such divisions do not have the importance people think they have. Any group they created from random people behaved the same way.

The even more reveling concluson was this: When they gave people time to think, education, upbringing started to kick in and people started making selfish decisions. Which points out that the selfishness that is seen in our society is not something natural or instinctive - its man-made.

The concept is interesting, thanks for sharing. I suggest that in future iterations/versions, it could take the duration of the tracks into account: a two-minute track certainly doesn't cost as much as a track that is almost three hours long (extreme example, I know, but album-length tracks are not that uncommon).[1]

Yeah - it’s fairly obvious that linked article is in bad faith.

The 79-pound repair kit is what Apple uses in its stores to avoid damaging phones that remain under warranty.

If people want to buy a bunch of cheap tools and risk damaging a delicate phone, they shouldn’t expect Apple’s help.
Actually it was designed for that, and it was top line OKR for a long time. Amit Signhal rewrote the search engine and was a great leader caring a lot about relevancy until he was kicked out for harassment (it was deserved as far as I know, but at the same time Google lost an amazing engineer).

In my experience the detoriation came after the change in leadership.
