>If people choose to give him lies and misinformation, he may end up publishing conspiracy theories instead.

I am an investigative reporter who covers crime, and my sources often insist on anonymity. There are ways to mitigate the possibility of being lied to.

All of my sources know that we have a deal: I promise to do everything that I reasonably can to keep their identity secret, and they promise me the truth. If a source lies to me or intentionally misleads me, my agreement to keep their identity secret no longer stands.

There’s more to it than that, but that’s the gist, and it has worked well for years. I have never burned a source, and as far as I know, I have never published an investigative story that is wrong about anything material.
Thanks you for sharing the volumes link. Fascinating to say the least.
> Enlighten me if this I missed the point of Powershell.

Plain-text has gotten annoying to me now (having to shell out to grep, cut, and awk is very meh).

What's your pain point when trying to use powershell?

Yes, many people are feeling AI fatigue. AI can be overwhelming and many people feel like they are being bombarded with information that they don't understand. People are also concerned about how AI is being used and its potential implications for privacy and security.

Sorry, I couldn't help; that is the ChatGPT response to your question. More informatively, AI is clearly at the height of inflated expectations. It will provide a helpful tool. However, it will not push people out of jobs. Furthermore, right now it gives a much better search experience than Google, as it is not yet filled with ads or has been gamed extensively by SEO. It is doubtful this will stay like this in the future.
Can I just use the first 48 bits of a 64 bit pointer forever for the address and then the rest for whatever else? Or is there a forward-compatibility risk?

If you would like to include unicode support rather than supporting bytes and punting unicode to a library or the end user, it may be good to have opinions about unicode normalization.
I think it’s less like the crypto craze than the PC, web, or smartphone “crazes”, where businesses starting incorporating each of the above into everything.

In other words, if you’re fatigued already, I have some bad news regarding the rest of your life.

Metaverse wanted to do what VRChat had already done tbh. VRChat just needs polish & moderation/to create a proper platform.

Realistically VR clients needs to pose as browsers to load vr:// links which can be connected to objects/actions in VR ie <portal color="green" size="200,200" pos="122.469,79.420,1337.25" href="vr://some-online-shop-showroom.domain.tld" />

That way it's done in an open, browsable way compatible with the expectations that we've gained from regular web experiences. Ie you have your VR home, there's a "bookmark" door you can walk through to go to Amazon's showroom, you search for a particular product and it lets you walk around and pick-up and examine the various options, you can then jump to a particular brand's individual showroom, etc.

Some people might feel that's a little dystopian I suppose but I think it's cool.
I am now going to be mean, pardon my early morning attitude:

You spent > 10 years at a FAANG and you are burnt out. Oh-kay, if you played the cards even half way right, you have more money in the bank than any three of us, and you can just leave and figure out which one of those (good) ideas you listed you would like to do. Heck, you probably made a lot of good connections there, and could take your (deserved) abbatical and then create a startup with friends exploring one (or more) of those good ideas at your own pace.

To me, in my eyes, what I just wrote down sounds like a pipe-dream. If I could I would...
Do you also unquestonably accept Putin's, Xi's, Kim's and Erdogan's elections results? What reason do you have to believe that the situations there are different other than what you have been told? I have no reason to believe that Trump won in 2020 but elections are something that inherently requires trust in the institutions running them which makes the result something very much different from an unquestionable fact if that trust is broken.
That sounds like a recipe for disaster. If you have fractional unit prices, and multiply by the number of units, floats can still give you errors. No, fixed decimal types definitely have their uses.
Cryptography and security, on a professional level. But I would say just take a sabbatical, travel and enjoy life without a computer. P.s. Italy has good food :)

I am a fish fan… but even fish has some difficulties, as many scripts and tools in the wild expect a bash-compatible shell. Otherwise, it is excellent and I use it on my computers 100% of time.

I guess other alternative shells like nu have about the same level of usability. If you like them, you can use them.
The copy/paste the icon file dates back to pre-OSX MacOS. There were many theming utilities for MacOS that made the process easier and a lot of them came over to OSX/macOS, but they seem to have died out now.
International contract arbitration wouldn't be handled by 'a court of the enemy', but by a neutral venue mutually agreed to in the contract signing, perhaps hosted by the World Bank, International Chamber of Commerce, or similar.

Gazprom would have to abide by it once relations are normalised, or find other countries unwilling to trust it when signing future contracts.
I mean with regards to the sideload-lockdown, ApplePay-or-nothing, privacy-CSAM-detection trade offs.

Apple is the premium brand, the Goliath in the market, especially considering revenue and profit.

Even if there are many Android phones they are of various brands, and Alphabet/Google is not rocking the boat, F-Droid works relatively okay.
There are lots of projects that start you off with things most SaaS projects need. Eg https://bullettrain.co/

Personally I’m also loving SvelteKit. To me it perfectly bridges the front and backends. I ported most of my SaaS to it. Still new though so not a lot of community support. https://kit.svelte.dev/
ChatGPT is great, but it's being hyped up so much right now. We've got AI bros coming in the scene trying to sell everybody a new product. Before the crypto craze, it was big data. I probably missed something in between.

Yes! I can't wait for food production and distribution to be put in the hands of government officials. Access to food is going to be equalized so hard!

The market has been taking care of it for too long, we're getting too fat, we need a few decades of food controlled by the police to get back into shape.
I'm also confused as to what you mean. The hypervisor is what's running the VMs, no? So I don't understand your original comment where you say "hypervisors so faster than VMs" either.

I don't think misnome is trying to be pedantic either, I think we're both unclear as to what you're trying to say.

Edit: I'm also dubious that hypervisors always offer "native" speed. To me this seems like it depends a lot on the hypervisor, the workload, the guest OS, etc.
I use `fish` as my main shell. It's closer to POSIX than eshell or oil, but it's definitely not POSIX.

Personally, the main thing I like about it is that I can't copy paste bash commands. It forces me to read and understand and then convert. It also has some quality of life stuff I really like. I think next time I'm just going to go back to ZSH though as I feel I have learnt enough from the experience of using it that I'm no longer getting new things out of it, and I don't script in fish enough for the nicer syntax to be beneficial enough for me. Honestly, I prefer ZSH variables over fish variables too
SolidGoldMagikarp II: technical details and more recent findings
Whether you have at-least or at-most semantics is more related to when you commit relative to your other logic than whether you do it automatically or manually, but for common cases where you “do something” like an HTTP call or increment a number in Redis per message, autocommit will give you at-least (it will commit after the next poll call which happens after processing the items).

You are hardly alone, but you are also likely in the midst of an actual paradigm shift, so the "ecosystem" does what ecosystems do. ie: herds stampede, flocks flock, scavengers scavenge, parasites uhh parasite.

It will be increasingly tiresome until it becomes commonplace, then the disastrous consequences will become the next tedium.
I am still kinda bitter about mac os replacing the default bash with zsh. I gained nothing from that unwanted update, but got compatibility pains suddenly.

Is something is more complicated than a one-liner, use a real programming language instead, with proper building blocks, tooling and documentation. Use something like Go to crosscompile if you don't want to depend on something on the host machine.

In my experience, even very trivial short shell scripts over time tend to grow into a pain, that could totally be avoided when using a real language instead.
The majority of content on the web is just rehashes/remixes/duplication of existing content. The percentage of unique, original content is small in comparison, imo.

Ie there may be 10-100 news articles about an event all with the same source. Youtube has tonnes of duplication/"reaction" videos where the unique content portion is very minimal.
Building a Great Relationship with Your Boss
It seems to part of a trend to prompt us and in some ways mold us into giving responses, under the probably sincere guise of convenience, like the famous Word paper clip. I think some find that useful, but it does tend to take away agency. This may be the slide to the AI's taking over :-)
> you can imagine what would happen to EEs working on MW class military radars, MW class broadcast transmitters,

They're not getting exposed to MW level field strengths, or else they would be literally cooked.

The amount of power you get from a 0.6W phone in your pocket is dramatically higher than your exposure from the 50KW broadcast due to the inverse square law.

An isotropic radiator at 300m distance with 50kw power results in a field strength of 0.04421 w/m^2, while a 0.6w isotropic emitter at 3cm results in 53.0504 w/m^2. About 1200x higher. And unless you work at the transmitter you're not going to be within 300m of it most likely (there are fences set by exposure limits!), even if you work around it you're not going to be around it long while the phone is near you 12 hours a day, nearer than my 3cm example too. Though to be fair it's not putting out 0.6w all the time (though its maximum is also a lot higher than 0.6w for a normal phone, try more like 3w).

(the station is also not isotropic, but depending on the type of station the radiation pattern probably lowers exposure near the station-- no point in illuminating the ground!)

I'm mostly correcting your justification, the fact that we have limited evidence of problems from high power (except due to heating) is a good argument that lower levels of exposure are not likely an issue, but exposure levels from a running phone in your pocket are higher than you might expect simply because how close it is to you.

And when it comes to weak long term effects like cancer rates, it might actually be hard to tell for sure particularly since we lack any natural control group. Anyone different enough to NOT have a cellphone is different enough to make their cancer rates incomparable.

One of the reasons why PoverShell approach cannot succeed now is that the system interface produces exit codes and unstructured text output. So, no matter how hard PoverShell tries to pretend that there's structure or that there's anything but strings and exit codes, it's all fake, and it starts breaking up very quickly, especially if you are used to work with programs whose interface is just that: exit codes and unstructured / randomly / uniquely structured output.

Had the system offered programs an interface for outputting structured information, had it worked better at standardizing and unifying the way programs process structured input... PoverShell as a concept would have more ground to stand on.

Right now, in the UNIX world, it is an even worse option than Python. So, there's no motivation to accept it. At least I haven't met a single system programmer who would have wanted to have PowerShell on UNIX. Only people who do that are Windows users who have some prior experience and who simply don't know much about the system they have for whatever reason ended up using.
Were people making significant transactions through localbitcoins?

Are there people trying to launder $100? Are there people using some online-marketplace if they're trying to launder $1000000 and meet random people to make that kind of transaction?
nushell has a similar philosophy to PowerShell but without the strange command names. PowerShell is probably tied too deeply to Windows and .NET to be suitable as a Linux shell
I don't think LLMs will replace Reddit. Reddit is mostly a social network for people with similar interests, or for funny cat pictures. LLMs don't provide that human connection.

We're in the middle of an AI hype. Much like with previous hypes (crypto etc), time will tell whether it was worth it. Unless you're chasing gold or selling shovels the only thing to do is just to wait it out.
It's a free market so ultimately the best offer will secure a developer.
And again and again and again (and it is over), you are the one who is not in the believable zone , _YOU_ are to prove _YOUR_ claim that the major owners (which takes 5 minutes of googling to check on several different sites, and which is public info, even the debts as it is significant info for "investors") do NOT have any say in the companies they own.
I think this sentiment is misplaced.

Both Google and MS are about to rewire their businesses in a more than superficial way to accomodate this kind of 'search'.

Yes - a lazy incumbency won't want to adjust their algorithms - but MS will force their hand.

ChatGPT is a bit like what we always imagined or wanted out of Siri and it represents a new dimension of quality interaction.

Google was 'search' really now it's 'finder' chatGPT is like 'helper' and they will be a bit fused.

The challenge is going to be how can Google remain true to search and find, whilst overlaying 'interactive helper'.
I had that since I was doing my masters in data science (5 years ago?). I love the models, the statistics and just the cleverness of everything but I just can't stand the "scene" anymore and moved almost entirely away from it. It's not as exciting as it was anymore.

When I started with the topic I watched a documentary with Joseph Weizenbaum ([1]) and felt weirded out that someone would step away from such an interesting and future-shaping topic. But the older I get, the more I feel that technology is not the solution to everything and AI might actually make more problems than it solves. I still think Bostrom's paperclip maximizer ([2]) is lacking fundamental understandings of the status quo and just generated unnecessary commotion.

I use zsh, but even zsh is a bit long in the tooth.

I'm especially interested in daily interactive use.

I tried fish but it's a bit tricky in some contexts.

Powershell is a bit too alien in *NIX-land, even though I really like it's concepts.

nushell looks quite promising but it's still pre-1.0.
Try to use it as a daily driver. If you encounter a situation where there's a bug/weirdness/missing feature, you can always temporarily launch bash or whatever to do the one thing you need to do, then exit that (sub)shell and continue with the first one

I recently found nc-photos [1] which also aims to reproduce the Google Photos UX. It does its own indexing so it is a bit faster than the Nextcloud Photo Gallery but probably way slower than Photoprism. The main advantage of nc-photos is that no software installation on your server is required. It just works as a mobile app with an existing Nextcloud instance.

You seem to imply this is deliberate. I doubt most people know or care enough about any waste streams to know what happens to them.
From what I can tell no one answering his pointed out that you have the core of a very very good business. And since you can roughly predict how long you will take, you can now bill out at whatever amount makes your life most comfortable.

I am fascinated that you have done enough of this work to know that you can estimate (to yourself) about 10 hours per job. I can also tell that you are a kind person, because you are clearly undercharging and you even felt guilty for solving a problem fast.

As the owner until recently of a web based business for 20 years, I would have loved access to a resource like you. I assure you that when a website goes down, the owner will normally be thrilled at an estimate of, say, $2000 for 10 hours’ labor (not that you would disclose this number; I mentioned because it means the turnaround would be fairly fast).

You should be loving life right now. The only reason you aren’t is because you are undercharging by a lot.
Easy to prove too.

Very weird and surprising to hear, the company had been making very nice profits for years[1]. Looks like they went from 59 -> 134 employees between 2020 and 2021. They started requiring KYC from everyone trading on the platform fairly recently, maybe it had bigger effects than they anticipated? I can see why people wouldn't be too keen on KYC in a platform for peer to peer trading.
