I was listening to a podcast by Balaji. He has an idea that could serve as counterpoint to these fears.

In that podcast, he describes (mainly for research purposes) a blockchain where all data has been validated and verified before being added.

I could see a similar chain being used by trustworthy organization where truth has been validated, verified, and recorded in a public blockchain where anyone can see for themselves sources of information that have been used.

The real question would be, can we find trustworthy organizations to compile the information?
Why just public info stagnation? It will be dwarfed by believable content generated by swarms of internet bots.

Once a stable diffusion like open source GPT-3 appears, it will be used to create fake news all the time. Like imagine 70 different outlets all with relatively large clout on social networks suddenly announce that Elon Musk is running for president. Nevermind that he wasn’t born in the USA… somehow mysteriously none of them address it:

Yes it is here and it’s already being spread but that is just a tiny sliver of what will happen in the next 5 years: https://youtu.be/LSlv4AsChwg

No,he is correct when he says XSLT. It's a pure functional language with a terrible syntax.

Nix as a language is fine. There isn't actually much to it. However the extreme approach to laziness while quite powerful also means you can't actually follow the flow of a package. It's manifests as come from programming since with stuff in packages with no reference in yours messing with your own packages internals. It is possible to tease it out and after a while you sort of know where stuff is probably coming from. But even for someone who is pretty comfortable with Haskell and other poster children for FP, nix is a challenge to reason about code locally.

They won't because that's just how transitions happen. They would need to completely change how their interface works and pivot from their current customer base.

Yes. For security.
We used to have just Internet grep but it was awful because sites just slammed tons of keywords into invisible text to get fake traffic. That's what spawned the original innovation at Google of PageRank and thus the SEO wars started. Going back to that wouldn't solve the issue with modern search.
Depends on the area you live in and the surrounding culture. People from big cities in Europe, Asia, and NYC in the US often avoid learning how to drive a car. It just stands out in the minds of most Americans and many Europeans because there's no reasonable alternative to driving to transport yourself anywhere. It's a great example of how even a crappy product experience wins when there's no competition in the market.
The Congress is obviously a completely different entity than the FBI.

If the Congress wants to force companies work with the FBI, they have the absolute power to do so.
I've never met Professor Knuth, but he taught me a lesson that I treasure.

I suppose these days the best way I can describe it is that his example "de-weaponized" Christianity for me.

It could be said that religion is like a radioactive material; too much of it all together can go boom.

But Prof Knuth's lesson for me was that I didn't have to leave my mind at the door outside when entering a church. I found his book, "Things a Computer Scientist Rarely Talks About", a series of talks that he gave at an MIT Symposium.

And I don't, much. Talk about these things. And there's lots I don't like about church and the role we seem to press upon it.

But compassion and honesty seem to work pretty good. I'm grateful.

I think you gave this example as a joke, but here is a quote from one of the Wayland developers:

> I would suggest that this setting [UI scale] needs to be a global and not a per-output thing. If it was a per-output thing, windows moving between different monitors would probably have problems (text size changes while window size does not?). It is hard to imagine how it would work as a per-output setting, for me at least.

See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/i... , the original issue and the discussion gives quite some insights in how Linux developers see the world.
There's a healthy used market for iPhones because they indeed do last long, and Apple provides many more years of software support than cheap Android manufacturers do.

IMO when it comes to electronics with little to no moving parts it's almost always better to buy used quality than cheap new crap. An iPhone that has lasted two years without failing will probably last 5 more without anything else than battery needing replacement. Mid-range Android phones often aren't bad either except for lack of long-term updates.
Unfortunately both Alts are not equivalent.
The right one, the AltGr is uaef in many languages to type letters with diacritics.
E.g. in Polish AltGr+Z is Ż, while AltGr+X is Ź.
Still using both Ctrls itself helps a lot, and one may have a right Windows to remap as Meta.

My friend showed me a cool series of photography books he'd backed on Kickstarter called Vanishing Asia. Only after we'd finished flipping through them did I realize they were by Kevin Kelly. I just looked up the campaign (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kk-org/vanishing-asia): 2,348 backers pledged $603,420 to help bring this project to life.

They’re not billionaires in a liquid sense. Read in the bbc or guardian that the current pm (sunak) was wealthier than the queen. And people on HN love to talk about some billionaires…
You are very naive. Of course the FBI could target an individual at the company to do their bidding if they wanted. Hell, even law enforcement does similar stuff chasing drug dealers. In such cases the govt has no regard for the individuals safety or financial well being.

At the corporate level its also threatening because of the actions the govt could take against the corporation. Look at all Musks companies now undergoing heavy auditing since he messed with the FBIs twitter.

You have to be naive and only see the happy path and think the govt always has your best interests in mind to think otherwise.
Wolfsschanze is a word that never occurs accidentally in German language today. If you use it, it's always in a historic or Nazi context.
This is actually completely right. I believe there's some policy in the works in the US after talking to a friend who's doing some consulting work to help align the Cost-Benefit side of antimicrobial development.

I can't say if there's a plethora of drugs just waiting to be released after CT requirements are lowered, but definitely there is less of an R&D incentive currently because pts who take antimicrobials only take them temporarily and cases where you need an advanced antimicrobial to deal with an AMR case are thankfully uncommon.

Edit: I think this is the specific bill: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/3932...
It is common knowledge that the US was doing GoF research in Wuhan.

There are alternatives to antimicrobials being developed. Instead of directly killing bacteria and therefore putting selective pressure on them, you can prevent their ability to bind to host surfaces and wash them away. The best example is probably mannosides, which are high affinity mannose analogues currently in clinical trial in humans for UTI treatment.

Z-pak (azithromycin) is not the recommended antibiotic for bacterial sinus infections nor pneumonia (common bacterial infections associated with upper respiratory infections) per most guidelines. Interestingly though, it does have anti-inflammatory properties in addition to its main antibacterial effect. When I see a clinician prescribe a Z-pak (urgent cares are notorious for having a low threshold for prescribing Z-paks), part of me wonders if it's to avoid overuse and potential resistance to appropriate antibiotics and placate patients who want a quick fix.

The downside is that since they feel better from the anti-inflammatory effect, its supports their initial thought they needed antibiotics and in the future will always think they need them, even though they very likely only have a viral infection.

Huh?

I mean do you buy products that are cleaner, better to their employees, blah blah...? Do most people, if the opportunity is there? If the opportunity is not there, why not?

Seems like you're going off into space here. Capitalism and private ownership of things and ideas is great. Sorry?

Probably I'm saying nothing you haven't thought of, but ZFS is great for preventing this. If you also pair it with ECC, then you've eliminated most ways to cause corruption.
>EU economy recovers.

This is not going to happen for at least a generation or two. European countries are not having children so one of two things can happen:

a) They finish the crisis phase of the civilization cycle and recover. Right now only "far right extremists" want this. The government of most of the nations and of the EU in particular is working hard against it

b) Both the people and the social institutions of the European nations are replaced by those of foreign nations in which case the economies will likely end up resembling those (of Africa and Asia.)

Either way it's absolutely not getting better on any kind of small time scale like a year. A couple decades is possible but extremely unlikely.
I'll take the links many times over a generated document.

I can't buy from a storefront generated by ChatGPT. I can't cite a document written by ChatGPT, I can't trust news generated by ChatGPT, I can't comment on a forum generated by ChatGPT, I can't watch videos that ChatGPT describes, the recipes ChatGPT creates may not be possible to cook, and will probably still contain a fake life story before it.
Some directories exist like https://awesomeopensource.com/, but they are going to be selective by nature, not exactly what you want.

I suppose one can make a google custom search [1] that covers all the major sites (not the self-hosted)

I think GitHub search misses on a lot of its own repositories by not always (?) considering the readme. Projects that are not well described (in the About) are not easily discoverable.

No issues with needless rerenders?
you can say a lot about Google, but at least they’ve never sat down and said “no more porn”, or blocked specific words from being searched, which is a little surprising actually. I’m sure bigger advertisers will have broached the subject on many occasions
Sure but ideally you have high enough confidence in your software that those types of issues are highly unlikely.
It would have been nice to disclose that your link is an affiliate link.

The truth is that cultivating a thousand true fans is time consuming, sometimes nerve racking, and not for everyone. Done well (and why not do it well?) it can become another full-time job. At best it will be a consuming and challenging part-time task that requires ongoing skills.

I'd add now, mostly from unsuccessful experience, what does it take the first fan, and then the next one, and the one after that? For a lot of people, it's still some version of and then magic happens.

Bonus true story: I worked for an economic consulting/data/analytical software timesharing firm in the early '80s. They could see that PCs were going to be a huge threat, so they tried to sell "data kits". For instance (and I'm making up the numbers), for $50 you could buy a download of 10 years of GDP data or similar.

Their market logic was: if we just get 1% of the PC market, we'll be rich.

Spoiler: we didn't get 0.1%.
False, you are most definitely being hyperbolic.
> Are they supposed to be helping the CIA get around their mandate not to interfere domestically?

In that domestic in intelligence/counterintelligence is the FBIs job, and that they are expected to do it as part of and in close coordination with other parts of the intelligence community including the CIA, yes, but its not getting around anything since its exactly the way things are supposed to work.
I mean no disrespect but Ubuntu really, really isn't user friendly. There is no other distribution that introduced so many headaches for me. I think Ubuntu is coasting on there reputation from years ago.
Also, “the primary operating system in which you work” doesn’t necessarily imply desktop. People could be using a Windows or Mac desktop and then primarily work in Linux via remote terminals and/or VMs.
What does "having it together" actually mean?

It sounds like the parents, quite understandably, develop common traits specific to the circumstances they share (that is, "raising human offspring"). To conflate those role-specific adaptations with any innate or generalised "superiority" or "special class" in any wider sense would be a mistake, I think.

We're all relative experts in the specific roles of our individual lives, and the very complex journeys they take us on.

As a parent we can only truly compare ourselves to our own past self. That is not the same thing as comparing ourselves to other people, who are on quite different, but similarly complex journeys. It's important to recognise the difference.
I think networks like Twitter have created a demand for mass-scale socializing though. If that's your reason for joining Twitter, then Mastodon isn't the experience you're looking for. As others have mentioned, Mastodon is oriented around creating communities. But there are many tools for creating communities, everything from Discord guilds to mailing lists. What the journalist who bounced off Mastodon was probably looking for was access to the mass socializing on Twitter, not the focused community experience of Mastodon.
How is this putting less selection pressure on them?
You can say

mylib = None

in the global scope and then

global mylib

if mylib is None:

import mylib

Boncuklu Tarla, Cemka Hoyuk, and Kortik Tepe are all neighboring sites with permanent structures from the preceding epipaleolithic. Jerf Al Ahmar was a semi-nearby site with monumental architecture that was contemporaneous with Gobekli Tepe, and the slightly later site of Nevali Cori is very similar.

There's also places like Jericho that are contemporaneous with all of the above, but really deserve to be treated separately.

I regularly revisit Linux for desktop (like every five years) and this time I moved 100% from Windows 11 to Fedora 37 and it's been a delight. It's not only a good desktop OS now: I find it better than Windows. Why?

* Performance: I think it's more responsive, like the file manager. It doesn't have an innate dependency on scanning every single thing for viruses that is hard to disable per design. I think my SSD loves me now.

* Ads integrated in the OS: Well. It doesn't have these.

* Customizability: Even GNOME that is not known for this can adapt to the user much better than Windows 11. Windows 11 is terrible and takes steps backwards in this regard. For example GNOME Tweaks + Dash to Dock and I have a Mac-like dock. It's like the Mac dock but more customizable, and it's easy to customize too. Hell I can even customize FreeType to choose between ClearType style rendering or macOS Quartz-like rendering (respect LCD pixel boundaries vs respect font design - you can only have one).

* Apps: Linux culture is to rely on repositories for apps. Windows isn't. They have winget and Microsoft Store now but it's still an unresolved cultural problem where only a subset of apps are found there, and if they do, they more often than not do system-wide changes anyway. Linux has nice, easy to use, stores like Mac. Linux is also miles ahead with containerized app systems like Flatpak or Snap where UWP support (Windows counterpart) is more than shaky in the big picture, and I'd even say a failure.

* Mouse Scroll Speed: Is set in GNOME settings.

* Software Updates: Have still always worked for the past few months.

* Crashes: None yet! Other than app-specific ones but so far only "silent" stuff that don't really affect me that seems to relate to the file manager and thumbnailing corrupt h.264 videos? (a guess from the logs)

I guess your mileage MAY still vary here but as for me, this is clearly a better and more user friendly OS now than Windows 11. I can't believe I'm saying this. But it just is for me and my hardware + software setup now. I like photography and Darktable is a full-fledged Lightroom competitor too.

I'm not a Linux nut either. I was positively surprised and this is the first time in twenty years I've finally felt fine with moving from Windows.

Games? Yes, at 40+ years of age I still do that, juggling time with family life. I have an Xbox Series X for that, letting me use a tiny Intel NUC as my PC. The Xbox gives me a much more fun experience with gaming than a Mac. Been there. Never again.

Nice work, sid and vic!
I think it depends if you are working on an app or on a library. In an app I would recommend to use Zustand or Jotai. If you prefer a Redux-like state management with a central store and actions to update it, go with Zustand, if you prefer a proxy-based atomic solution, go with Jotai. There might be situations in library code where it's useful to use React context but I would not use it in app code. It's too easy to use it wrong.
Depending on your role, that is. If your desired position is straight dev with minimal to no ops work as possible, then yeah, red flag. However, if you're an SRE/DevOps-type person, setting up a continuous deployment system so they can deploy more often than that is a perfect landing task to dig your teeth into. Different strokes for different folks.
