There was no one with dreams of being a rockstar or actor before influencers. There have always been a good chunk of kids that want to do as little as possible and then they tend to figure something out or wash out. This isn't new or news.
Right. As much as people want to complain about Apple forcing WebKit/View on everyone, what it has enabled them to do is build specific hardware level optimizations in for JS and page rendering, which means you can get really good desktop-level performance even with an otherwise limited CPU/battery. Given Chrome's horrendous issues on MacOS, they are going to drain the battery as fast as possible and then blame it on Apple. Chrome users will then blame Apple for bad battery life.
More sugar for reflection:

class Foo {
@Max(10) int bar;
@NonNull String name();
}

var field = @Foo::bar;
var max = @Foo::bar.Max;
var method = @Foo::name;
var foo = new Foo();
var name = method(foo);
var bar = foo.field;

Yes, there is a limit. Efficiency still varies across people and types of food, enough that "you need to eat x calories" might be fantastic for one person and terrible for another one.

Even when running a nuclear reactor, there is still a limit, even though it is much higher than that of our puny built-in chemical reactors.

One big issue with D compared to Rust for performance-oriented code is the lack of move semantics. Rust and C++ idiomatically almost never rely on copy-on-write, whereas D so far has a lot of it. I'm not sure how much this matters for kernel modules, but I imagine that it is something users would consider. I had seen some proposals for move semantics in D, so for all I know this is under works right now.

Algorithmic dragnets running over all communications technology, every human carrying a microphone everywhere that they don't have control over, and walking killer robots sound very much like Skynet.

For now. But if SpaceX succeeds in getting launch costs below $50/kg with Starship, space solar starts looking a lot more attractive.

Advertised price on Falcon Heavy is already just $600/kg to LEO. A big part of that is the throwaway upper stage, which Starship eliminates.

Any comments about what it is for us poor souls who never heard about Djot neither is fluent in Prolog?
I've read through a lot of the responses and I am still kind of confused how the fraud actually works:

1) Scammer leases a "premium phone number" from a provider. From doing some reading, premium numbers are where the caller/texter pays extra for interacting with the service at this number. So like a 1-900-phone-sex line from back in the day, where if you call, you get charged like $5.00 a minute. The provider leased the number to the phone sex operator for $1 per minute. The phone sex operator runs the service and charges access via your telco at $5 a minute, and ends up netting $4. The telco bills you $5 for your 1 minute call.

2) In Twilio's case, they get a request to send a text to a premium phone number leased by the scammer. This text is actually initiated by the scammer, via something like requesting a new one-time password. Twilio sends the text.

3) Twilio then determines that the destination number is a premium phone number. Twilio charges you extra for sending the text because of this. Twilio then remits a payment to someone, either the scammer or the premium phone number provider.

4) Scammer repeats step 3 a very large amount of times and collects. Twilio bills you for all of those texts they sent, on your behalf, to the scammer's premium number.

Step 3 is where I am confused. How do the payment flows work. Is Twilio remitting the money to the scammer, who then needs to pay for the leased number? Or are they remitting the payment to the premium phone number provider, who then pays some portion of that to the scammer?

And come to think of it, how does the phone sex line example work? Which entity actually contracts with the telco to set the cost/toll?

Investment implies some sort of earnings. Otherwise it’s just speculation on prices rising. People invest in businesses, and speculate on commodities.
And Amazon will tell you that they'd rather build a new robotic warehouse rather than buy millions of weird shoes that cost a grand a pop.

Amazon also mandates anti-slip boots for warehouse workers (and paid for them), and this is literally the contrary of an anti-slip shoe.
The wages are going to have to necessarily increase, though. Look at how home prices are increasing. Homeowner insurance rates increase respectively, and deductibles increase as well. Intelligent tradesmen are going to keep track of this and price their services accordingly, especially when it comes to maintenance contracts.

I also think there's a stigma associated with the trades which doesn't necessarily permeate mixed middle class neighborhoods. I grew up in a situation where the majority of adults in my hometown did not have college degrees. Thus, college degrees became things to aspire to instead of things we MUST have. Plenty of my classmates then, and plenty of kids graduating now, are not going to college. For some, they've been told by their folks that they can stay at home and save up their money for the 4 years after getting out of trade school to put a down payment towards a house. Granted, the culture I'm from doesn't negatively view 20-something men hanging out on a porch with beers after dark. Cheaper than the bars, after all.

Off topic I guess, but I've been thinking about a collaborative spreadsheet that uses something like Sqlite over LiteFS. Where each spreadsheet is just a sqlite file. Not sure what the architecture would look like though. Ideally the main server would just keep the files in sync, perhaps with some way to update each user without having to send the whole file. This has the advantage of programabilty and a familiar UI. All at just the cost of hosting the file and a webserver.
TCO also, unlike special syntax for direct tail recursion, works when the last call is not (directly) recursive (which supports indirect/mutual recursion, and just structures with deep call heirarchies that aren’t necessarily recursive.)

I actually am on the no-uglification bandwagon with you!

With compression, I think there's more harm & pain caused by obscuring the source-code to users than there is gain in the very small reduction in size.

But this stance gets quite a reaction, from what I've seen, and I wanted to give a lot more rope to the person I was replying to, rather than try to argue this (fairly nor popular) point too. Which is to say, I hugely agree with you, and good-riddance to industrial web practiced that hurt user-agency (somewhat remediable with source-maps but seemingly few sites have source maps on in prod, and still not as pleasant). It's a small user-base, the view-source folk, but embracing those who take the drive to make the world better (or even to just poke-around-and-learn) is what the world needs!
That's a stupid hypothetical, alright!
I was at the CytoData conference at the Allen Institute a few months ago and there were several talks specifically about this.

Can you blame them? This same market has stagnated wages for decades and so the only way to have a chance get ahead is to gamble.
Surely they can aggregate this across all customers though.

If Twilio cops an unexpectedly high settlement for sending an SMS to +1234567890 in January, can they assume that a separate customer sending an SMS to that number in February will end up in the same boat?

I'd be very surprised if the toll fraudsters weren't using the same numbers to hit multiple Twilio accounts.

That is a very fascinating subject. In addition to the 20% who were born outside of Sweden, another 6% are born in Sweden to parents both born outside, meaning over a quarter of the population today is not ethnically Swedish. It's a radical shift, compared to under 2% before WW2 and under 7% in the 70s. I'm curious how that social experiment will pan out in the end.

You haven't understood the problem at all. No wonder, few people do any sort of bare metal programming. It's not about defining constants, or even writing code at all, it's about figuring out what this arbitrary piece of code is doing based on hardware datasheets. You search for constants defined in the datasheet in the piece of code you are analyzing to determine what it does, or where does it do specific things...

Aside: As a Muslim, my religion tells me the one who repented (to God, and to those whom he offended) is like the one who never sinned. I can see you realized your mistake, and I will not hold anything against you. Especially for "flashing", which is obviously bad, but way on the lower end. I quote from a law firm: "Indecent exposure is considered a sex crime in California. If you are convicted, you will be forced to register as a sex offender". Unfortunately, the world is super-promiscuous and super-hypocritical. We see people almost completely naked everyday. Revealing their private parts and near-private parts. This is considered "cool". Television hosts deliberately wear clothing to arouse people. You know, "sex sells". People wear the tiniest bikinis. And even allow their toddlers to wear such skimpy clothing [this should be a major crime, actually]. Not to mention the near-naked billboards we see on a daily basis. But when they want to book someone, they do.

May God help you.
That's certainly a thesis of sorts, but I don't think it's much of an argument.

- Twitter is a privately-owned, for-profit platform that can ultimately decide what stays and goes

- The New York Post isn't protected by special rights or Twitter rules that normal users aren't subject to

- The dismissive response to this 'leak' is not unsubstantiated, since we've seen much more harrowing releases with much less proportional reactions (see: Snowden, Wikileaks, et. al)

Considering those points, it's hard to listen to the Twitter Files with a straight face. Not only is none of the behavior criminal, but we didn't even learn anything here. We already knew that Twitter worked with the government during the election season to fight whatever they consider 'misinformation'. Even before that, Snowden leaked the PRISM roadmap that clearly shows Twitter and Facebook with FBI/NSA correspondence.

So again, I'm not sure if I follow the author. Not an attack on you, I understand that you're trying to cite relevant source material, but I feel like their thesis can be easily refuted.
I wonder what the burnout rate is for the trades vs white collar work.
News outlets already have social media policies (often inconsistently enforced, but they exist). If they were really worried about their employees using their good names to kickstart their Substack they could do something about it. In reality, NYT and others actively seek out writers who get a lot of engagement on social media.
I've become expertly proficient in over a dozen software languages over the past 20 years. But recently my mind is so shot that I lost my client because it was all Java Atlassian stuff.

Same comment, though:

> Twitter could absolutely become a paid service and move away from ads as its business model. ... Imagine paying $1-3 per month for FB or Twitter. We'd no longer be the product — our data not for sale — and the companies would make more money!

or

> It's almost a running joke, up there with Daft Punk playing at the trash fence, that Twitter just won't release an edit button. With a move towards paying subscribers, maybe Twitter will listen to its real customers -- content writers -- rather than advertisers.

Monkey's paw and all that, but not bad otherwise.
D rarely has copy on write.

It will just plain copy certain types on assignment though so perhaps that's what you meant.
I meant there are other companies who are building their entire companies (not just features) on OpenAI’s products and those companies have revenue. Been going on for a couple years. I was at one such startup.

They are kind of like a Stripe or Twilio in that sense (in their current form)
I‘m not sure since I can’t quite figure out the target audience. Depending on the amounts a person walks every day it might be worth it but I’m on the bike or in the metro most of the time and the claimed 250% increase in speed doesn’t come close to the bicycle. That being said, I’d try them for sure and if they improve my life, I think I could live with the design. On a related note: people were Yeezy and Balenciaga shoes which (subjective) look awful to me.

They are like meaty unreserved cloud resources. You want to call a plumber at any time and they drive out with their expertise, their $200k of vehicle and equipment, insurances and fix something. It will cost!

Car detailing is something with a relatively low barrier for entry and you can make $40+ an hour. I've seen people get started this way with just a bucket of water, some car wash soap, a couple rags.

I have the same question. Seems like the crash hit them hard and last I heard they were rebasing (n.b., not using this in a technical meaning) on top of Solana.

I also heard a lot of rumors it was a pump/dump or pyramid type scheme, but I haven’t seen proof of that, only if premining (which is awfully scammy to be fair).

Anyone have better details?

Sorry, I missed your reply there. I guess I'd say the idea that the pharma lobby is controlling how censorship works on social media would be the conspiracy theory.
It could be an option in the API call with a default in account settings. I bet most people who are trying to reduce spam accounts by requiring a phone number would actually prefer to exclude these numbers anyways.
TBH I would consider this type of fraud of a more Robin Hood variety. Companies that still encourage weak security practices like sms 2fa (or even worse, just hoover your PII under the guise of it) should be defrauded of their money as much as possible.

If that's what the argument actually was trying to say, then I fully agree with it, makes perfect sense.
I’ve heard major metro area as roughly being top 100 cities in the world which Salt Lake City is nowhere close to.

If anything Salt Lake seems about average size for a city, it’s just located in the middle of nowhere which makes it seem more important. This is also why they need this kind of backup communication system so close to the city.
Is it not possible to ban pay Toll numbers in 2FA applications? Why doesn't Twilio do this by default? I would absolutely dispute the charge. Or better yet use only virtual credit cards for these services like Twilio that cannot be trusted, with fixed spending limits and monitor them closely.
Well the old installed the fed and regulated the housing market. Will probably take violence to fix.
That's actually how the stupid Helium network was setup.. it used to (maybe still does?) provide rewards for setting up a hotspot and much much less for data throughput so it was basically a big grift to sell miners. Then they gave a huge proportion of the earliest miners to their executives and family members so that commoners buying miners were basically just funneling money to the execs.

There are file locking mechanisms you can opt into (compile time options) to have multi-process access to the same database file - it does require either some coordination and/or more error handling, especially when writing to the database.
