They certainly have their fair share of negative aspects that I wouldn’t want to integrate.

To be more concrete one specific thing I would like to see more of in the US is some sort of change to the political process that would allow more engineers to get into positions of power. Right now it’s all lawyers, and I think this is a big reason why the US is not good at large infrastructure projects anymore (California high speed rail, building more nuclear plants etc.)
The beautiful result of copying and pasting html from your favourite sites. No CSS so the styles came along.
I’m not a disagreeing with the idea that tax breaks for stadiums is a bad idea. I’m saying something like mortgage deductions are evidence of the same type of bad policy for many of the same reasons. The OP seems to indicate one is bad while the other is good.
this is a disgusting take. please do better.
I'd like to point out that many ICE vehicles actually improve in performance as the air temperature drops.

For naturally-aspirated motors with aggressive timing, going from 80F to 32F can feel like someone bolted a small supercharger to the engine.
Tech Journalism absolutely knows what to do with Mastodon which is write the same lazy article over and over again about how Mastodon is dead.

I personally love it because techbros read it and conclude it isnt worth checking out and the rest of us dont have to tolerate another techbro joining mastodon to jump into rando conversations and mansplain arch linux.
This is it. Dangerous allyship... but I still think you aren't giving words and behaviors they lead to enough credit - the odds of the participants of this thread being in a marginalized group (myself included) are low, no language and set of behaviors systemically oppresses us.

I worry we throw the marginalized baby out with the bath water in discussions like this.
The division is not only in network infrastructure, but in human minds as well.
This works well and makes finding my many tabs so much easier. One issue I've encountered is that inertial scrolling is partially broken. Sometimes it works, sometimes the scroll stops immediately when I lift my hand from the trackpad. I haven't been able to identify a pattern for when it works and when it doesn't.
The same can be said of any human being.

And there's a reason for that. Ultimately, our brain processes just as automatic and mindless as that of ChatGPT, just much larger, specialized through evolution and trained for longer.
Why not both?

Keep in mind that this is a trade-off, it requires more computational power AND battery, so giving users access to the leavers makes sense (e.g. power users with nice equipment can pump up the number).

That being said I do agree that it is up to the vendor to set AND enforce a new higher minimum. If someone logs in with 5K rounds, it should be changed to the new default (100k).

On a related note Bitwarden also allows users to configure this. I recently increased mine to 150K rounds.
I have a $70 ebook (Amazon Kindle) of an academic work (not a textbook) and it is practically unusable. So many problems compared to the physical book. Never again.
If you think it’s nonsense, I suggest reading about the DPT vaccine lawsuits in the 1980s and how the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program came about, pharmaceutical companies almost stopped making the DPT vaccine. [0] I repeat: pharmaceutical companies were willing to stop making vaccines due to the liability inherent in making something that everyone takes.

The government had two choices: start manufacturing vaccines, or come up with an alternative way to compensate victims of vaccine injuries. The second one is much easier to implement, so that’s what they chose.

Because changing the number of rounds requires reencryption and it doesn't sound like they had a workflow for prompting batch reencryption other than through the setting.

Ideally they'd manage that number and prompt the user to change it over time.
Which bank
This is just wishful thinking of course.

The shell itself is an outdated piece of technology that unfortunately has to be used for historical reasons. I’m glad we now see a way to work past it.
I'm not advocating for anything here and not in it for a discussion - it's just that your criticism gave the impression you might have missed part of the article.
That's sort of the worst archetype you for summarizing anything for you. Make a bot that's like Socrates instead. That would be genuinely educational.
We'll never find out, the same way we'll never find out how much the US economy is crippled by racism there.
Are there any plans to mainstream this in QEMU?
Lisp, the second major programming language in history, was specifically designed for AI programming.

Today's AI is really heuristics or ML and not "intelligence." All programming languages that already exist can be used to write ML programs and all human languages can be used as prompts (with a matching corpus).
- Conservatives to recover in the UK polling such that an utter electoral collapse is no longer forecast. They still get predicted to lose, but they remain 2nd-largest party

- Polling in Scotland to consistently show >50% support for independence but - or rather therefore - no movement on a second referendum from Westminster

- Collapse in cryptocurrency. Binance, Bitfinex, Crypto.com and the like to go bankrupt. BTC and ETH to somehow stumble on but continue to not be widely used outside of niche, nerdy applications

- Something catastrophic to happen to Twitter. Bankruptcy or sold w/ massive haircut to the Saudis, something like that.

- Ukraine to slowly retake Kherson in its entirety. Russia open up a new front somewhere else, together with Belarus.

- Some transatlantic undersea cables are severed in an act of sabotage from Russia
I think you can generalize the sentence to "xxx doesnt know what to do with Mastodon" where you can insert into xxx any of the major actors of modern life, including the public sector and its still a true statement

The idea of empowering, democratic, relatively "low" tech that doesnt abuse its users has been expunged so effectively from the public consciousness (and tech journalism and others are so complicit) its not a mystery this new narrative doesnt fit

But maybe its a blessing in disguise. As the fediverse is still rather immature, too much attention from ill-wishers might turn the baby into a stillborn
> the admins that actually do the work on the infra are so tight-lipped

Not always. @kris-nova here is the public face of hachyderm.io and has done an excellent job communicating around architecture, incidents, etc. Everyone on that team deserves kudos.
>it more importantly embodies the way that the Internet worked before capitalism showed up.

Does it really? I miss the internet of the late 90s and early 2000s, but Mastadon feels like precisely none of that.
Regarding the second point, ("it's not enough to have the same /etc/nixos/configuration.nix file, because of environment variables, other files, and commit revisions of repos used"), this is one thing which Nix Flakes solves.

With nix flakes, all the Nix sources you use must be checked into source control, and impurities like environment variables can't be used (by default).
Fingers crossed for your house hunting and your company :)
You haven't specified anything about gravity. I'm with ChatGPT on this one.
Nobody is mandating EVs for everyone today.
ECC isn't a terribly complicated technology, and can be used in all those cases.

In limited cases, a checksum is good enough. If you checksum outgoing data, and verify it on reception, then it being corrupted in transit whether on the network card or the cable can be detected and transparently compensated for.

Really, we can do much better than to "get used to it".
1. Ukraine re-claims its territory, including Crimea

2. Putin dies and Russia starts falling apart with a civil war.

3. Trumps gets barred from holding any public office again.

4. Biden refuses to run for the 2nd term.

5. New Covid strain brings the new wave of pandemic.
Question: As a consumer, had you done any research or calculations before the trip? Were your expectations realistic?

What strikes me is that people in some markets have unrealistic assumptions about the current battery technology. Spending more money does not change physics.

EV technology is rather good. But there are bad products in the EV market.

This review of the F-150 Lightning is interesting for the surprise of the reviewer that the vehicle isn't fit for purpose. https://www.guideautoweb.com/articles/68882/ford-f-150-light...

Do you mean housing and transportation, or is there really something specific to theater?
Contrarian take: AI continues to fizzle. ChatGPT is very impressive but so were the last ten breakthroughs in AI and none of them have proven very compelling. At least not for consumers. We'll see advances in some business processes related to text processing but that's about it. Who is going to make practical use of AI art? Maybe the low-end gaming market? I'm also bearish on writing even for low-touch marketing copy. If you've ever sat in a meeting to discuss marketing copy you'd know writing takes up about 1% of the cost and the rest is debate.

OpenAI is the apotheosis of regression analysis. It can only repackage what humans have already created. Over reliance will absolutely stultify every creative endeavor and we'll be stuck in a loop. I foresee a lot of adoption followed by a lot of disillusionment.

All that being said, I do believe it's only a matter of time before all that happens. Just not 2023.
That's correct. That means they didn't have a workflow for batch reencryption on login, must less a workflow for annually increasing rounds.
One of the big cloud providers launches a chatGPT based infrastructure tool. Draw a diagram, get that infrastructure automatically generated.

IaC engineers are laid off en masse.

(EDIT: I am an IaC engineer who is learning Python and NodeJS as much as I can before this sort of thing is released in AWS.)
Can you elaborate on 4?
Health:

- A series of videos will be released purportedly showing a set of prominent and wealthy US individuals arranging to have their own children genetically engineered for greater intelligence and height. These videos will seam to show that at least one US billionaire believes in eugenics. The New York times will cite expert analysis claiming these videos are deep fakes. A large portion of the population will believe they are real.

There is still PE for this. /s

OK, really, do you want to be stuck with boring and bad textbooks and teachers to drive home the lesson, that some things are just not fun and have to be done anyways?

This can and will be done at home: brushing teeth, bathing, put on clothes, bring out the trash, wash dishes.
I have a whole bag of not fun things for my kids to do, that are not fun but have to be done anyways. Turst me, they don't need it in school too. Let learning be fun.
Replace ChatGPT with human being and what you said will also be true.
Does anyone know how other password managers compare? 1password, Bitwarden, etc.

Edit: to clarify, I'm asking specifically about client-side security of these products - NOT feature or UI/UX comparisons.
We are looking at 3 degrees right now. The previous ice age was ~4 degrees colder than pre-industrial levels. So 3 degrees sounds pretty much in that context.
There is a simple explanation for why humans tend to say how things could be 'better', when you ask them how things could be 'different'. It's even one of the core beliefs of buddhism: life is suffering.

To unpack that statement, think about someone that does nothing with their life. Literally nothing. They'll quickly suffer hunger, starvation and finally a slow death. These are the defaults of life, you cannot sit still. It is not a choice. Even us who feed ourselves, and live a life, will still suffer old age and death. All one can do is take action in their life to reduce their suffering now, and in the future. You can apply this model to all facets of life, from relationships, work, gym, healthy eating, art and so on.

So really the study has just thought about it from the wrong angle. It's not people thinking 'how things could be better', its the brain naturally thinking 'how can I reduce my suffering further'.
> it always convert all the text to image on server side before serving.

It probably easy to recover to absolute precision with OpenAI-like models. I bet using AI could help a lot with recovering books in the future.
a precursor of what's ahead.

we, as a society, have chosen consumption over appreciation. we are consuming entertainment at a crazy pace. makers, artists, creators, etc. can't keep up. these AI tools are going to get the job done.

the author in TFA is delusional thinking she can draw a "moral line".

they can't keep up with the artificial demand we have created. at the end, we all lose. curious what will become of creativity once we reach the point where we are out of the picture.
It is about a lab engineered virus that spreads around the world. I had read it long before the pandemic.
Laion Open Assistant – ChatGPT Competitor
I agree with the original premise. It is a repetition of the history of graphic design: around 2000 you would need a graphic designer to create a good website, it took time and several iterations. It worked similarly for years until Twitter Bootstrap appeared and many jumped to use it as is or do small custom changes.

But, collapse completely is a bit extreme.

You are under the impression that CPUs and other chips always perform the same instructions as are written in the code, and only RAM can flip bits because DRAM is DRAM :)

It can (and should! whenever possible) be improved, not fixed. There's always that pesky gamma that can hit a specific transistor, even if it is deep underground. Gamma cannot be fully stopped. At certain scales data corruption becomes directly measurable. And yes, corruption levels vary between pieces of hardware.
It's good that with DDR5 consumer memory will get some super basic ECC on die, so hopefully the next generation of memory will make the problematic sticks more obvious (or prevent damage in the very least). ECC won't save you from memory corruption, but it'll save your data at least.

Personally, I would've just checksummed the individual failing files rather than the disk image and only back up the bad files separately. There are all kinds of ways for a disk image to fail and I wouldn't spend a second longer on it than absolutely necessary. The whole memtest permutation setup also would've been too much work for. E, I would just declare the motherboard faulty when two sticks that otherwise pass the test fail in specific configurations. A new motherboard is cheaper than super specific RAM sticks.
Merry Christmas to you too.
Curiosity. A whole lot of other math seems to hinge on these notions.
I have trouble wrapping my head around how people could put down amounts of money that are significant to them into something that depends on competence and trustworthiness of singular people they don't even know personally.

Now they are shocked "but they promised!!!" ... How do these people think reality operates? On promises?
Investigate whether John Mastodon is in fact Satoshi Nakamoto?
Maybe you missed the extremely effective Russiagate psyop or that a majority of half the electorate believes Biden's election was fraudulent. Combined it looks like 50-60% believe EITHER one OR the other was fraudulent. (OK, you're right if you include children in the set, but then we have a significant part of our population believing in Santa Claus.) A headline from the days after the election only substantiates my argument. The narrative war was far from over in Nov 2016.

I hope I don't have to convince you that Trump voters have little confidence in 2020 results. Here are a couple of reminders that Clinton voters felt similarly after 2016.

I agree that it feels like we are post-peak. It probably depends on preferences but from my perspective the golden age started tapering off ~10 years ago.

It could also be that we’re in the “here to stay” phase the article also suggests. So if we are in a silver age, as you say, let’s hope that it lasts a long time. :)
The strawman of using the date of breach here is asserting that the breach was in response to another event.

Timeline of releasing the breached data can be correlated with another event, but the date that they obtained the loot is irrelevant. They could have simply purchased this from an unknown 3rd party themselves. We simply don't know.
Capitalism pays according to how much someone contributes to the economy, not how much they contribute to society. If the inverse were true, we’d see social workers commanding financier salaries.
Are you on the Do Not Call List? Have you tried asking Oracle to not call you again?
Can anyone tell me the status of Kindle DRM? I want to buy some kindle only books but don't own a kindle. Is this even doable?
2. Why or how? People already hate computer generated art/content/copy etc.
It makes the media feel fake/useless/unoriginal.
Seems like a fair amount of skill would be needed to actually use a map reliably in a park, especially for hikers. Do people still know how to use them? I think I'd probably get lost .
It's well beyond "just about observable". Here's a sample landing distance performance chart: https://www.ascentgroundschool.com/~ascentgr/images/ct80802e...

At -10°C/14°F, with no other adjustments, in the hands of a test pilot, that aircraft will have a ground roll of around 1000' and clear a 50' obstacle and come to a stop in around 1500'.

At 30°C/86°F, with no other adjustments, in the hands of a test pilot, that aircraft will have a ground roll of around 1150' and clear a 50' obstacle and come to a stop in around 1750'.

Flying in and out of 2000'-2500' strips with trees, it's impossible to not notice the performance difference with temperature. Perhaps the pilots who can't notice those differences don't fly into anything other than very long runways, but I don't think very many pilots miss the differences.
If this was done in 2022, it'd be written in javascript and funded from attention-seeking ad tech revenue, so perhaps we did?
And yet you haven't asked it to answer like a 4 year old would.

Mind you, a particularly literal-minded 4 year old could easily come up with a response that subverts your expectations too.
I’ve had a business idea forever: have a chain of truck stops install chargers and things to do while charging like a classic arcade.
Kind of like how the form factor of the space shuttle doesn't matter when comparing it's peak speed and cargo capacity to my pickup truck.
You're doing a CAT III ILS as a recent IR pilot?! Did you buy a Pilatus?

Thanks for linking previous years. They are all so hilariously wrong and comical.
The list starts with things that may well have considerable historical evidence, but ends by proposing an argument that would not even be logically valid: one could rationally hold that the material world is not all that exists, without accepting that Christ’s resurrection occurred.

As for calling materialism an a priori leap of faith, well, that hardly distinguishes it from the alternatives, though maybe that’s the point.

Nevertheless, a merry Christmas to one and all!
Vinge has won plenty of awards. Can you recommend a book that is better and not a obvious top 50 SciFi books that most of us have read already?
Well said. It’s worth adding that various mood altering substances can speed up our perception of the passage of life while impairing our ability to remember what happened.
For me, "Mastodon" more closely resembles the BBS-with-Fidonet experience, which I suppose might be similar to UUCP/Usenet to a degree "before capitalism".
Going with some completely random things this year so that I look like a time traveler.

After messing with POP3 and local mail clients (before Gmail was a thing) I decided that I wanted my emails in a Maildir, so I started to host them on Dovecot on the LAN, which made it easy to backup all my mail and move around. The local server would POP them from any (of multiple) services and serve them to clients that needed access. I would take my mailserver with me on travels and during moves (multiple countries) and use DDNS where necessary to access mails outside the home (currently using an old BananaPi as hardware has gotten smaller). I've had domains for decades as well, and started out receiving mail using services that came with the domain name registration. For sending I would use the ISP, later Gmail, but settled on MXroute which is very affordable and has good deliverability. I als started using it for MX, but after a few years decided that I really want to receive any and all mails sent to me, so for the past few years I have run Postfix (with a few failovers) with trimmings like SPF, DKIM, DMARC etc. This all works OK, and doesn't cost a lot.
Not the answer you seek, but Kindle has apps for major platforms and a web based viewer.

Yes, I agree that the author that his work is important. I further agree that the sentiment expressed by his correspondent is common. Further, Google is just the first step in the internet repurposing machine. The tech is 20 years old. It drives newer industrial tech like the recent AI. All of it exists to gain a fractional value from thousands of sources rather than single source a work. The point here is not to research and cite a work, it's to scan and reassemble.

It's great to have a traditional view of authorship and scholarship. I support that view. The internet engine of commerce does not support this and views such as those debated in this essay far outweigh those older ones.
My suspicion is the housing market sorely needs investment forcefully pushed out of single family housing and (maybe/less convinced) cooperative apartment complexes forcefully pushed into market. There’s a single cooperative in my entire state and they’ve stopped taking applications due to the wait list. In any event, it’ll be interesting to see what the end of this decade and beginning of the next looks like as the Boomer held homes start to open up. Will the population demographics change to need fewer or more homes?

(Btw, that is altogether way too long to wait.)

I tried to bootstrap the rent/mortgage trade off discussion to some older gen-Zers and millennials at work recently. Couldn’t get far at all until I got talked over about the financial superiority of owning. Frustrating times.
