What does point number 2 even mean in terms of your argument, it’s just tossed in there like it’s relevant. And your point 4 makes zero sense? How is protesting the governments abuse of civil rights a conspiracy?

For point 1, people willing to go out and do action are more likely to be criminals than someone who stay home. On top of that this is just large numbers making rare circumstances occur. You’d likely point to the birthday problem[1] as a shadowy conspiracy if this is enough to make you think of government involvement.

For point 3 you’re making the claim that he could have been an informant stretch to imply that he was. You have failed to outline how they would have been recruited or for what purpose. Show some evidence instead of making vague implications. Actually fuck, I’m even letting you get too much leeway there. Informants do not actively go out in public and start physical fights with people holding a gun. Even if he happened to have been an informant that would not imply the government put him up to attacking rittenhouse.

You’ve gotten too conspiracy brained if you look at rittenhouse event and conclude the government must have set it up. What would they have even gained?

Destroying democracy isn’t against Twitters rules.

The Taliban destroyed a democracy. They have Twitter accounts.

The leader of Egypt destroyed a democracy. He has a Twitter account.

The leaders of Myanmar don’t seem to have Twitter accounts, but they outlawed Twitter.

I doubt these people have supporters inside Twitter, but I doubt there’s any Resistance either.
Not engineering then, simple as that
Recently, I've been impressed by Intel's Clear Linux project. It really feels like a completely new generation of Linux desktop that's designed from the ground-up to be more performant than even Windows, while still being "turn-key" pretty much, and a bleeding-edge yet stable rolling-release at that.
Steam Deck is the only way I am going to indulge Linux Desktop long term in the future. Just have to save a bit so I can buy the 512 GB version.
Correct the FBI may do nothing.

The IRS however might just suddenly out of nowhere complete coincidence want to crawl into all your accounts, and financial records and tax filings.
Then you would be artificially raising the population capacity, causing population to grow exponentially until reaching the new capacity, determined by the point in which you cannot keep providing those things for free anymore. This creates a much bigger problem than the one you initially tried to solve and would lead to a total catastrophe.

Economic hardship is the population feeling the backpressure from what essentially is the reality of living in a world with limited resources. You can decide to ignore those limits but that does not end well.
There's an element of truth to the "poor documentation" complaint, because there are tutorials etc out there that are out of date, incomplete etc. But the official nix project has excellent documentation.

I think the problem is that nix is just hard to learn. It's really different from most package managers, but people expect to look at a few examples and just pick it up intuitively. It's a whole different paradigm, with a custom programming language that also has a different paradigm. (Though Haskell folks eat it right up... no surprise there.)

It's gonna take time and effort to learn it, and there's just no way around it.
There is no oil where they claim it in the cylinder on Japanese engines, otherwise they would be burning oil (and they don't). At least not for the first 300,000kms or so. If the fuel can ever burn the oil, that's a really bad thing.

Also the article claim about the power steering pump is completely wrong, as the pump runs no matter the speed or load of the pump; it will just pressure-relief through the pumps internal relief valve.
This is a staggeringly, monumentally stupid thing to do. Not only is it arrogant in the extreme, but also politically dangerous. Who gets the right to inject aerosols into the stratosphere of another continent?
Let's see how this pans out but, if I were a student and deciding between MIT or Standford I'd likely choose MIT if Standford didn't have the equivalent of this. However, I don't have much faith in this actually happening or being implemented without carveouts or exceptions.
I’d argue the problem isn’t really with the Linux kernel or the command line.

The UI experience is unfortunately the same coherence of design horror story it has been since forever.

Windows is of a terrible of it's own, but wayland, gtk, the OS services model and user settings are just a horror show.
Paywall. :/
I have 128 GB of non-ecc memory in my notebook, never detected a single error, and has been on 24/7 for more than 4 years.

Unless you live over 4000 meters over the sea level, like to compile while flying or live close to an unshielded nuclear reactor, you don't need ECC.

And most memory problems you can fix by better cooling, and better shielding.
They absolutely are, whoever wrote this has no idea what they're talking about.
Yes. It can even give name of research papers that never existed
You're right, hate is far too stronger term for this, I've updated the wording. Thanks.
I'm talking about their Linux platform's position among gamers and game developers where usage & support is scarce, why would I be talking about their brand?
> In such cases, I actually don't know how Windows works (for example, if they patch the ACPI tables).

It uses Modern Standby (aka S0 Low Power Idle).

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/de...

> if there is no S3, it's the producers fault

Or it's Linux fault for not supporting the S0LP? Sure, there are a lot of problems with the S0LP implementation on Windows, but the idea itself is good - that's what all the phones have utilized for at least previous 10 years. Maybe Linux actually could do it better than Windows, if some effort was put into it?
Clicked on the latter link. Found no microbiology, just lots of anti-musk and leftist activist commentary.

This might be an example of the Vote phenomena where only people quite unhappy with the previous big place leave, which means the new place will end up with a very big skew...
Most likely for the convenience that it offers. Getting non-technical family members to actually use KeePass, etc is next to impossible.
One could argue that what you're describing is one of those alternative business models. You don't care if someone comes to your page anymore for ads if the scraped page is the ad.

I'm sad about what I think the stable equilibrium looks like for internet vs AI, and I hope there are some platforms that are able to put in the good fight to keep the internet awesome.

The internet is such an amazing public good and has moved technology forward at such an insane pace. It'd be depressing to explain to my grandkids that you used to be able to learn anything on the internet without subscribing to the X platform or Y curated channel.
Another possible solution is to define a compose key (I use SysRq) to type characters not on the keyboard, such that (for example) the three-key sequence "SysRq . Z" is Ż.

Here's the XCompose file I use:

Consumers prioritize capacity, weight, and cost over longevity. We are simply making the best devices we can for consumers. Phones make up a tiny percent of the waste humans produce. There are much more high impact areas that should be focused on if you want to reduce the waste output of humanity. The bias against waste of phones in due to their cost instead of the amount of waste it is.
Isn't `is` a function? A cheap function, but still a python function
At the risk of sounding ignorant…

I’ve been hearing stuff like this for twenty years now. And yet the crisis hasn’t happened. Why is that?
Oh now that is an interesting take!

Would that still be required if a deployment and a release are decoupled entirely, or is it unavoidable? Genuinely interested!
What does anything you just posted have to do with the parent comment talking about intelligence agencies working with every tech company on behalf of the Democrats.

Singling out Democrats doesn’t imply “Uniparty”. And this was the “outsider’s”(Trump’s) FBI attempting to get Twitter to censor things. How is that the “uniparty” working against populists like Trump?
The biggest risk factor when it comes to infection in general is agriculture:

- We encroach ever closer and closer to reservoirs of animal illnesses, which is how we got OG SARS, MERS and Covid.

- We give farm animals prophylactic antibiotics to promote growth or, worse, keep them alive in completely unsanitary conditions, and the conditions in slaughterhouses are often horrible as well. That is not just plain horrible from an animal welfare aspect, but risks breeding superbugs on one side and severe complications should someone not properly cook their meat and not kill off all the bacteria.

- We spread manure from farm animals over produce fields, which regularly causes e.coli / EHEC outbreaks

Antibiotic overuse in humans is only a small part of the problem, simply because the agriculture scale is so much bigger, and even people who go vegan/vegetarian because they want to avoid all the issues with meat production still can't avoid their produce being contaminated.
High winds and ice downed some power lines around the state. That is not a bad power grid lol that’s just what happens when storms blow through.
Is that not permitted under free speech?
Reach back out to Meta. They're not offended that you turned down their offer, they understand that situations change, and they very well might still want to hire you.
BTW for anyone who wants to help but thinks this is mostly wetlab/drug development work. There's quite a bit of room in the space for the computer-vision side of things to improve decision-making and time to treat. I think it's mostly based on phenotyping by imaging and identifying low-specimen cultures but I might be totally wrong.

Does anyone else experience the sensation of feeling like you’re six years old again, when working on someone else’s PC because you’ve so heavily customized yours?
I agree with Linux Mint but you can just download and boot off a thumb drive to try it out yourself without actually installing anything.

I would try Mint with KDE but also try a few other desktops. Maybe you will like them more.
I need to test my cars. Some of you will die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.
I have a lenovo P52, it came with 16 GB ECC. The dimm is not super-expensive, but it's hard to find, and only comes in half the size of regular dimms.

I replaced it with non-ECC memory and never had an issue. In fact you can combine ECC and non-ECC memory without any problem.
> most phones die because they stop getting software updates anyway

Contrary to what most phone manufacturers would like you to think, no, devices do not suddenly stop working if they go a week without an update.
I did exactly that with a usb-c dock connected to an android smartphone to operate the keyboard. It was good enough for unlocking it. The screen partially worked, it was good enough to bypass the Passcode. A mouse works, too.
The moment a non-tech/non-enthusiast user has to choose a server you already lost them. Same reason IRC never went mainstream.
None of the evidence you present here supports your conclusion:

20kb per image is like a jpeg worth of data, so certainly not throwing away anything.

A tiny model file without logic as to how you got to it isn't interesting. You could just throw away 99.5% (or whatever the ratio is) of the data and call it good. Mishmash data before you do and you might not even have to do that.

This style of AI is all about getting right past the human ability to perceive the mishmash and stop there. Given the underlying algorithm is literally about mishmashing I don't know why you are trying to fight that point.
Legitimacy doesn’t matter in the context of currency? I’m not sure the markets will agree.
It’s happening. Like climate change, by the time you notice it in the course of your daily existence it’s far too late.
A programming legend.
But Kickstarter still wouldn’t allow it under the new rules I believe.
This is how I did it. I borrow a phone that was the exact same model as mine, then hooked up a usb keyboard and memorized the exact series of steps needed to launch a remote screen viewing program. One thing that made this easier was using the google play store to remotely install the screen viewing program. Then I typed out the exact series of key presses that I needed to turn it on. Took me like 4 tries to type in the lock screen password and get the screen mirroring started.
Many new cars have electric heaters for the air venting into the cabin. In that case their statement about confusing warm air with a warm engine would be true.
Emacs is a great platform, but the default key mappings make it an RSI machine.

If I recommend Emacs to anybody today, the first thing I would tell them is to:

- enable evil mode and prefer its interface to vanilla Emacs

- install doom-emacs and learn to love the leader key instead of the C-[...] combinations

And of course what you said about moving your whole hand and using both hands still applies, including when you need to use the shift key.

I started to develop RSI once in 2015 and got my act together after that scare with an ergonomic setup and better practices. It's been smooth sailing since, always as an Emacs user.
Random hardware which is designed for Windows typically gets Linux support within a couple years after its release. But if you are actually serious about trying Linux, buy it preinstalled.
More institutions would be ideologically captured by "wokeness", joining the many public corporations, media, non-profits, academia, professional academic associations and etc who have already done so.

People on the right will continue to use "woke" as a boogeyman, and people on the left would leverage on that to deny its existence and write their genuine critics off as "right-wingers".

The woke will continue to push for the false equivalence between "social justice" and "critical social justice", and the left would have their charitableness exploited through the woke's linguistic bait and switch, and their use of minorities and the afflicted as props. This exploitation enables the ideology to propagate further, giving power to a new 1984-esque authoritarian group, making lunacy the new normal.

Liberal outsiders like me who are looking at this incredibly stupid (and corrosive) phenomenon are left completely astounded as to why such idiocy is allowed to persist. We're left wondering, for myself at least, a citizen in a highly westernized Asian country, as to when such lunacy would hit our shores (it's actually here in our academia already).

Life is going to be so much worse after, and my sensibilities would be thoroughly violated on a daily basis. South park is a funny watch, but we really don't need an iteration of it in live action.
Not only that but all the backdoors and 0days they know about but choose to exploit rather than making the whole world safer and fixing/notifying.
Napster thought so too
I wonder if mandated replaceable batteries will apply to lithium ion, which require careful handling to not 'explode' or at least sizzle and spark violently, which i've seen happen in a lab even with skilled engineers in Cupertino.
At my employer we have developed our own state management solution on top of react-easy-state. It's a good solution for us, it matches the backend more closely and has some conventions that work for our model. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for other apps.

For personal stuff I like recoil and jotai. They're similar in design. Super simple to start, easy to type, work with layers of complexity.
That's in your framing

Good luck with that
I have yet to be able to easily read a single link to a mastodon post. With twitter embedded links worked really well on most sites. How do you get reach without that?
What about secrets?

I like to do short lived credentials using Vault (e.g. vault can create say db access credentials dynamically), but for things like API keys where I can't do that..? Is the Vault KV store the source of truth?
I agree that private companies can police as they see fit. But I am pointing out there was a culture of free speech absolutism, backed in spirit by the safe harbor internet provider legal stuff. Both of the places I listed were founded by pro-free-speech advocate and specifically cited it as a reason for their continued lax policies.
> Why on EARTH would I 'assume good faith'? Am I a moron?

Assuming bad faith will never result in convergence.

Assuming good faith could result in convergence, even if you think the probability is low.

Therefore converging on truth, or at least shared opinion, must start with assuming good faith. Of course if you're not actually interested in those things, then I can't help with that.
Liability, standard of care, patient happiness, insurance compensation, and stupidity all come to my mind when considering why they do it.
NVidia makes the best Linux driver + graphics card combination going, and always have. If you actually want to play games on Linux, NVidia cards are the way to go. But open-source people don't like them because their driver isn't open-source, and Wayland people don't like them because their driver has limited Wayland support.
That's fair, and there's room in this world for both. I guess I'm not being sufficiently empathetic & understanding what when people say, "Mastadon won't replace Twitter," they're often mourning Twitter (which is dead to many people even if it isn't dead) more than they're criticizing Mastadon.
In some areas, many schools have been retrofitted or rebuilt with only one tiny window per classroom, and the desks arrayed with the window behind the students. Aside from energy efficiency, the usual rationalisation I've received is that students being able to see out the windows makes it "too difficult" for the teachers.

To me, this seems like trying to making the entire environment more boring than the already-boring lesson/teacher in the vain hope that this will lead to magical goodness.

Anecdata: I had almost exclusively schools with huge walls of windows, and the 'distraction' of the outside world was all that made some of my lessons bearable. Mind-numbing boredom is not a paved road to teaching me and getting me to retain much. I definitely observed and received correction for excessive distraction sometimes. This also happened in classrooms that had no interesting views. For me, the more dull and utilitarian the classroom, the more likely I'll spend the class time reading ahead in the literature book, writing about other topics in my notebook, or drawing. Trying to "remove distractions" instead of livening up the course material may be…pessimal.

Using one datapoint to extrapolate to the broader case is really not a good approach to supporting an argument.

Commenter said “parody accounts”, what specifically that refers to is ambiguous, so I considered the class of accounts that may be considered parody by some.
sure, but the basic physics at the very heart of the issue
(use oil to avoid direct contact between metal pieces) is exactly the same.

it seems very unlikely that modern refinements have completely reversed the concerns.
Geoengineering startup releases reflective sulfur particles into the atmosphere
Thank you. This makes sense.
What’s the evidence?

It’s moot anyway, since they can always filter their stolen databases by potential methods of exfiltration, so the dump looks like it only used a certain vulnerability.
I for one am very confused about the excitement about Mastodon, and your comment made even me more so.

Is comparing Mastodon to email a good comparison? Isn't email a protocol and isn't Mastodon a piece of software?
Data written but not read back may as well go straight to /dev/null. Always read back and verify integrity.
The question is not whether AI will generate the right answers, but whether it will generate better answers than a search engine. Given that search results are dominated by ad-supported websites, maybe an AI results, which are 99% accurate, will be better than whoever spend the most on ad words.
I could have worded it better.

And yet, people will demand an antibiotic from their doctor even with a test showing it's viral. Partially because school science ed doesn't cover that topic at all, partially because of "folk tales" aka learning from parents who didn't know better, partially because of placebo effect... and ultimately, because people want/need to feel better soon because they can't afford being too sick to work or having to take care for sick children.

In the end it dwarfs against antibiotics in agriculture anyway, but if we want to fix the issue of antibiotic overusage on humans, we need to completely re-think our relationship to work and sickness.
A computer algorithm is not a human and should not have the same rights as a human.

I'm getting really tired of repeating this really simple concept that AI evangelists can't seem to understand.
Yeah. But would you raise a family in DT? (Ktown already has a lot of families - and wealthy ones, too, these days).
Not OP, but it's kinda like boiling or alcohol versus poisoning (which is essentially how most drugs work). Certain attack vectors are literally unevolvable, as they would require fundamentally different building blocks to be able to be able to handle, which is too big of a leap for evolution to make.
I’d guess that since they don’t die, they can go on to reproduce elsewhere.
