God, I wish you were right. I felt the same way for a long time. At this stage, the only way I see it going is the system collapses on itself. There's no reason for them to listen and there's nothing we can do about it, though. We can get as mad as we like, they have militarized police with MRAPs and drones.

Heck, there were protests. Recently. All over the place - but the police have been defunded of nothing whatsoever and they still have qualified immunity.

Congress just kinda doesn't need to care, so they don't; with one or two exceptions.

Wokeism tolerates and even encourages racism and sexism, as long as it is not targeted at one of the protected races or sex. Not wanting to be forced to validate other peoples delusions about their gender isn't transphobia. Not wanting rainbow flags in your face everywhere - or really any kind of sex-related content - isn't homophobia. The current woke culture is way past letting people do whatever they want with their lives and fully focused on telling other people how to live.

Using -isms to label and shut down anyone who doesn't fully agree with yor world by trying to lump them with the worst kind of people you can think of is exactly why people feel terrorized by wokism.

And if you want to talk about insitutionalized systemetic prejudice then there is nothing more fitting than woke culture pushed at every opportunity by corporate america as well as the useful idiots that fall for the distraction from the class war.
This is mostly untrue. While it’s possible to stay anonymous you need a phone number, and it can’t be from twilio or other services. It’s been this way for years. I strongly suspect the bots that are unverified use headless browsers. The problem won’t go away.

> which NTFS has no support for and therefore WSL must emulate

With ntfs3 (kernel 6) this is no longer true, as can be seen for example in Arch install living next to windows on C:\ https://gist.github.com/motorailgun/cc2c573f253d0893f429a165...

Also NTFS has had POSIX attributes support - they just weren't used before.
I think it makes more sense to compile this emulator with Emscripten and run it in the browser.
There's no reason to believe other sentient life will be in any way relatable to us. Most significantly, there's no reason their perception of time is on the same order as ours. We could be glacially slow or impossibly fast for them to engage in any meaningful way.
You will never be _sure_ that it's limited to that age range, because what's appropriate for a given age is pretty subjective. I don't know why people are obsessed with making perfectly isolated bubbles for kids, it's just not possible.
Everyone I have known who tried YouTube kids eventually ended up with normal YouTube. Maybe it is sort of acceptable for English speaking families, but outside of that, shows that parents wanted to show the kids or were ok with were not available. And shows that were available were meh anyway.

It came across to me as something that exists so that google can point out that it exists.

I created the Events2012 dataset which has around 120,000,000 tweets reduced from an original sample of several billion. It is now over 10 years old, but still cited and still requested fairly regularly.

Previously, my response has been to send over the Tweet IDs, but now I have a dilemma because I understand the privacy concerns that resulted in the ID only policy but also think that Twitter data offers quite a lot of value to researchers. Interestingly, one of Twitter's policies around this also requires researchers to regularly remove tweets that have been deleted on Twitter from the local copies of their datasets, which of course requires checking each Tweet individually using the API...

I don't think so. I'd just miss out on more and filtering what's relevant and what isn't would be more time-consuming (I can scan 2-3 sentences in a Tweetdeck cell a lot quicker than a rambling blog post in heavily styled blog). If there's something I need/want to know in detail, I'll read up on it and maybe research further, so that wouldn't change, but I'd have a harder time finding these things and I'd probably spot emerging trends later (that's what Twitter conversations tend to be pretty useful for).
Of course it is. Cryptography libraries can be used for lots of things. If one of his clients uses them for cryptocurrency, it is incidental.
Thank you for the links!

I still don’t get how this could be interpreted as a “deeply concerned about someone selling $250k”, when the answer is “no I don’t think 100x that size would succeed”. From this I see one guy (C Z) who’s probably concerned about a supposedly systemic action with unclear goals, and another one (blue) fooling around a specific transaction.

I mean they could be deeply concerned as a person about whatever they projected about it, but it’s technically impossible with $250k which they admit right away. The way it was stated in the comment above is editorial, to say the least.

The fact that "bro" is a derogatory term for you is also not great.

If AGI is really an intelligent agent, our random supervillain would have to do what any real-life villain would need to do: convince his minions of his plan using persuasion or money. I don't think the overall danger would increase at all.

If the AGI is something less than a human, then what are you worried about?

As a former Gaia Admin, there's actually a lot more to Google Groups as the source of auth truth; In fact, I would describe it the other way around. Google Groups is an authentication system that happens to have a mailing list feature, though I'll definitely say that the UI is fairly bad for both.

I will point you, though, to the fact that Active Directory works exactly the same way, and has exactly as bad an interface for both. It's like there's a natural local maximum these products get stuck in, because there's no reasons to build two interfaces for the same product, even though it's used two very different ways.

I don't know about you, but I spent a long time staring at cathode ray tubes when I was a kid and I think it certainly affected my cognition.
Thanks, great explanations. I think the most astonishing thing to me is that I never saw such a polyglot EXE even print "hello" on stdout, written in assembler.
According to Wikipedia, between 2000 and 5000 weather balloons are released daily. China's likely releasing hundreds of those. And there are reports of even regular helium balloons sometimes traveling thousands of miles.

It wouldn't be magical for one to accidentally end up basically anywhere.
I think the argument is that the further left you go, the more likely you are to explicitly describe yourself as an anti-fascist and make a big deal about your opposition to fascism, as opposed to just quietly disliking fascism like most of us do and not feeling the need to announce it.

Like all sane people I oppose fascism, but I don't put "anti-fascist" in my Twitter bio, wear antifa t-shirts, or run around loudly telling everybody about how much I hate fascists, because why should I need to? Of course I'm an anti-fascist, who the hell isn't? It feels as unnecessary as having to tell people that I'm "anti-genocide" or "anti-pedophilia".

It's also true that communist regimes have always used "anti-fascism" as an excuse for their atrocities, just like fascist regimes have used "anti-communism" to justify their atrocities. The original Antifa was an offshoot of the German Communist Party, and (as GP pointed out) the Berlin Wall was officially called the "Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart". That doesn't mean that all anti-fascists are communists, but history is what it is.

Don't take any of this as my denying that there are still fascistic forces in our world that should be opposed. If "anti-fascism" is an important part of your identity and you feel the need to tell the world about it, good for you, I'm not going to stop you, but personally I don't see the point.
Big Tech Discovers Austerity, to the Relief of Investors
Anecdotally, my kids liked music videos like these a lot. And lol, this one is practically prison break.

Part of what drives huge view numbers tho is that small kids like to watch the same thing again and again and again. Easily, one kid can account for 1000 of views over few months. That is why stuff like "10 hours same song" exists.
The damage has been done. Maybe it's salvageable but I think the perception of the twitter checkmark by the general public has diminished a lot very quickly. Specially by people who pay less close attention to it, and don't necessarily take note of the intricacies of the color coding. Not saying it's unfixable, but that kind of public perception is hard to build and easy to lose.
I wasn't 'trying' any more than you tried replying, or the author tried painting a duck-saving story as bad faith agenda.

Of the 4 videos released, the first shows the initial stop with guns drawn. Cops won't greet you with "evening sir" when approaching with guns out. Not sure what he did to attract attention, but was likely more than failure to indicate.

Your linked article claims punching and kicking happened at the car, but this isn't visible on the released video_1.

What I see on video 1, is a messy aggressive mob of cops barking orders, yelling over the top of each other, but also a subject unwilling to play along the whole way. He isn't about to go ragdoll for these cops. He's not fearing his life, he's fearing arrest. So he runs rather than be cuffed.

Cops relax when cuffs are on, everyone knows. So let them put cuffs on. Or risk injury.
CTR are and always have been comically small - its like spam and scam calls - a pure (big) numbers game.
Thanks for that example because 'smoking' is exactly an example of what I mean.

'Game of Thrones' initally was pretty good. Towards the end however, it veered a bit to safety as they had to 'make it up' given the story was not written.

We should note that it's fundamentally a European production, not Hollywood, and, that it started even before 2011, so a while ago, before a lot of the sanitization has sunk in.
this is great! can you turn this into a playlist or something?

like, i'll select couple of the songs and then it gets converted into a spotify playlist.

I need spotify btw, not apple music.
Nice idea! I'll try to implement it in our cicd pipelines. This should work great together with something like renovate or dependabot.
I fully understand (and share) your aversion to personality cults. And it's definitely possible that there exists some actual personality cult/fandom around Carmack.

BUT - I strongly believe, that he has earned quite some respect during his career.

And - importantly in this case - he is well known for NOT blowing things out of proportion, indulge in wishful thinking, hyping up unrealistic expectations or jumping to premature conclusions. He usually knows what he's talking about.

This is not people blindly believing everything he says - but more a case of his statements holding up really well under critical inspection most of the time.
So in a sense the problem is exacerbated by people looking to needlessly complain about their peers.
> Obviously, while it might survive some EMP, there's a limit to the efficacy of the shielding.

It was EMP rated by US nuclear agencies and used for nuclear test monitoring and radiometric surveys.

> the entire submarine and aircraft carrier fleets are nuclear powered

which leaves a lot of other ships .. and avoids the puzzle of why they wouldn't be able to function after an EMP burst - do you think you're the first to think of such a thing and no one has modelled about such an event?

> surface ships are already useless (and most likely vaporized)

You're assuming that an EMP burst high in the skay also vaporises all ships (or other weapons do), the design of military ships is to assume that they still need to function when damaged to a degree.

> My guess is that the three mechanical clocks was more a matter of tradition than efficacy in modern warfare.

You're hung up on warfare .. navigation may fail for all manner of reasons and three clocks for reference in determining latitude (after allowing for mechanical error) is a matter of sound numerics rather than crusty tradition.

Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time by Dava Sobel is decent introductory read if you'd care to guess less and learn more.
The thing is that if the position is vital then they rehire. But at least you know that that person is needed. One thing I've learned, for the most part, is that no one person is vital to a company's success or failure. I worked for a project manager that thought everything he did was very important. So he had files and files to document what was happening. He got fired and the "important documentation" ended up in the trash. A department in the same company was confident they were as lean as possible. They worked long hours and output as much work they thought was needed. The company decided to close the department and every one got fired. 2 years later the company was fine and they were not missed. Turns out they were doing work no one really needed.

People quit all the time and they get replaced. It's the same thing with layoffs. Another thing is that a lot of positions are filled by people that are over educated or experience for the job they hold. They do it simply because that person wants to work for a FAANG and are open to getting any position they can. My suspicion is that a lot of people are going to move jobs as jobs become available and some positions will be merged from say 2 to 1. I'm sure it's crazy now but they will be fine.
I think you are being a bit harsh.

It's certainly an interesting counterfactual to consider how the US would react, and SAC in particular, to the exploding of a hydrogen bomb in the North Carolina.

Launching a full retaliatory response (and there was only one plan) certainly seems like something that might have happened - probably because they would genuinely believe it was an attack.
Interesting that this is popping up. I just read about wine in cans. And when I go to a beer festival now, there are many expensive rare brews presented in cans. 3-5 years ago cans were the poor mans packaging. It's amazing how large a role marketing/blogging plays in the perception of something like packaging techniques.
He's a troll, so whatever the outcome he'll be able to say it was his intent all along (as trolls do).

There isn’t even that much to learn about AI at this stage. Gradient descent and a lot of model variations. I really doubt carmack hasn’t been able to get deep knowledge of this, most smart curious undergraduates are already up to date with it.

They should belong to the people. The state and the people are not the same thing in Australia and certainly not the same thing in Nigeria.
Around that age i got my pc privileges revoked. "Grounded" was how it was referred.
My parents both were tech savy. I managed to download a keylogger and swipe the login password before end of first week of punishment. I had access for HW, strictly hw. That's when i made a move. By 12 i had custom .exe made but god knows who with GUI capable of ddos among other nettools i shouldn't have had. Nobody taught those things to me. It just happened. Had the idea probably from a movie or tv..
Yeah because SMS costs money, it used to be significant that’s why “free” texting apps pretty much killed it in countries where you didn’t get a ton of free texts or weren’t as wealthy.
If no researchers studied Twitter, that would be a massive failure to analyze a major piece of online activity. I believe that no one giving even basic thought to what researchers do would endorse what you just said.
We've just had to stop our kids watching TV at all for a few weeks. They were getting addicted to YouTube. But their mood has been so much better without it. They've been playing more and talk to us more.

As a parent, regulating screen time is a battle of wits. The app is designed to you hooked. I would absolutely love them to have the option to "shutdown after the end of this video".
You’re right, of coarse, but at that age it wouldn’t have occurred to me to go to the dean. Students are used to the teachers having all the power. My high school junior is still told where she has to sit in class. It’s ridiculous.
Pointing out, maybe. But calling OP an "open source crypto bro" and saying he earn "pyramid scheme money" is too much.

Effectively what should be pointed out is "this guy makes some extremely fundamental crypto libraries that are used by millions of projects out there, including cryptocurrencies". But that's hardly relevant.
I think movies have two main purposes:

One, they show different problems/dilemmas that you need to consider as a human being. Some movies are (much) better than others at this than others, but I think most movies have some lessons (or at least "thinking points"). Even the lamest of action movies usually have some kind of "betrayal" theme, that gets close to the core of being human..

Second, the bringing people together is actually also quite important, both in the small well-knit group and strangers. We (humans) are a flock animal, and shared experiences makes our sense of togetherness stronger :)
Indeed, they mention having had an account "10 years". I can only assume this means they are using their personal account for GCP which other than some hobby projects is not something any business should be doing.

You wouldn't have your employees using their personal email accounts for your business communication, why would you use them for their infra/services login?
> If GitHub actually helped developers make money this would be a different story. Sponsorships are a tipjar, it's not a sustainable path, it's not a form of employment.

I really don't understand. GitHub does help developers make money. Sponsorships are subscriptions, not one-time tips. If you can get 20 companies to pitch in with, say, $250/month, you begin to look at a sustainable living. From a company point of view, paying, say, $1000/month for four most-used pieces of software that the company depends on, is still many times less expensive than hiring even a single full-time developer.

I feel like rather than trying to change the mindset ("everything must be FREE FREE FREE"), we are trying very hard to find reasons not to use a perfectly good existing solution.
We had that happen with Cloudflare-forwarded emails on a specific mailbox. I wrestled with CF's support until I got to someone who was able to debug the issue and they found out that everything was sent successfully and accepted by Google's servers, it just vanished afterwards.

What I found out afterwards: using the same mailbox with a suffix ("mailbox+cloudflare@example.com") worked just fine.
Why would that matter for an internal tool? Esp. there's plenty of much more visible GPLv3 bits in WSL images that ship via the Windows app store.

Most people consider this desk a toy for people with too much money, but the real target is people with physical disabilities or limitations. I have spinal column deterioration and got the AltWork desk three years ago. Previously I would spend my days in moderate discomfort moving from desk to couch to kitchen every hour trying to find comfort. With the AltWork desk I'm able to work a full day with almost no pain. It looks strange, it takes up a lot of space, and it limits how you can setup your computers (heavy bias towards laptops). I couldn't imagine working without it now.
They are susceptible primarily to corners, and after that, to edges.
The sharper, the worse.

The way they are made, and the type of aluminium they are made out of, results in them failing after experiencing comparatively little strain (for being a ductile metal alloy).
Because the walls are so thin, squeezing them with the grip of a hand won't cause much strain, due to the large bending radii (seen relative to the wall thickness). But if you concentrate the force around a (comparatively to your fingers) sharp corner/edge, especially if it's a corner sharp enough to hurt if you pressed on it with your hand and, say, ~5kg worth of force, you'll force it to stretch to conform to the pointy corner's shape.
(Despite the factory already pushing the material close to it's limit as far as stretching-before-ripping goes. No wonder it rips, then.)
You're just pushing goal posts. And „basic stability“ in many parts of the world is much simpler than westerners look for. Savings to keep roof over your head and food on the table for next few months in many cases is success.

There's no objective way to determine what is success. It depends a lot on one's background.
