They do exist but they are marketed as workbenches rather than desks. Also, one of TE's few forays where going for an incumbent manufacturer won't save you any money. That stuff is priced for commercial buyers.
The article is about Twitter. So it’s really not that “interesting”, it’s literally the point of this discussion thread.
Yes, it's even sweeter because EU industry is quickly becoming unable to compete successfully on global markets and the Russians are getting poorer. Two birds with one stone!
A bit dangerous feature to use. Carelessly used it can lead into a platform lock-in.
What the hell? "People act like they discover telemetry in 2023"? Are we just going to ignore the fact that the issue of companies spying on their users has been a hotly discussed controversial topic since the practice began? Do you think objection to telemetry first appeared in 2023?
Rethinking next-gen vaccines for coronaviruses and other respiratory viruses
As of today I'm getting a message saying that I can't follow more people. I'm only following ~2000 people and have more followers than following. I've tried unfollowing a number of accounts but still can't follow more.

Twitter is starting to feel very broken in ways that seem counter productive to growth and daily usage.
That's a new and additional nerf on the tech which is presented to you. Vanilla chatgpt could absolutely fool you.
I am in the minority here. But for me, google's presentations were always like this. The presentation always seemed so rehearsed with artificial excitement.
I have a few friends who use Twitter DMs as chat, and 500 seems low for that purpose. Plus, I'd figure that a 1:1 message is a lot easier and lower load than trying to consistently share something globally....
Hope you get some sleep soon!
Really? I feel like the tech community just ignores them because they've become irrelevant. Even Azure is essentially a backup for people who don't trust only relying on AWS, and haven't yet been bitten by out of date documentation and bugs that "Yes we know about that", but mysteriously there's nothing online about it at all
Even if it gets it right, it will keep apologizing as long as you keep berating it - which is pretty obvious after all; the most plausible way of completing a text where one side (supposed to be a helpful chat assistant) is being accused of being wrong is to apologize.
The parent's first question is still pertinent.

> You question people's motivation when it comes to submissions. Why not when it comes to flagging?
I used to get this quite a lot, and still do sometimes.

What helps me is reminding myself to just start coding _something_ small and very very simple, however imperfect. If I didn't I would concoct hugely scalable and secure architectures and systems in my head. I would go on and on like this for hours and possibly days. It would only really stop when I came up with another idea for a project.

Twitter/Facebook/Netflix etc etc weren't built from scratch like we see them today; they evolved from imperfect, probably insecure, probably slow, probably unmaintainable code.

Just try to write something and take it from there.

I think lots a "techy" people experience this so don't beat yourself up and I'd be interested to hear what others do.
Several thoughts:

* It's not a contradiction. ChatGPT replies using the words "doesn't typically include [additional information]", and including the current date could be an example of atypically included information. In the context of the conversation, there is no contradiction.

* There is too much text between your question and the original prompt, so it cannot recall the prompt accurately. The working buffer on ChatGPT is rather short. I repeating your line of questioning on a new chat, and it is able to describe the prompt correctly. https://i.imgur.com/4zu9HRj.png

* OpenAI doesn't want people reverse-engineering the prompt. Asking questions about the prompt can cause weird behavior.

* It's easy to make ChatGPT generate nonsense, contradictions, and other hallucinated facts. Understand ChatGPT is a text generation engine, not a logic machine. There is little purpose in debating it. I think you have too high expectations of what ChatGPT can do. Have a look at this list of ChatGPT failures, and you'll see ChatGPT is confidently dumb. https://github.com/giuven95/chatgpt-failures
True Story: I visited No. 11 Downing Street as a school boy in 1998 when Gordon Brown, our local MP, was chancellor. He took us next door to no. 12 where Nick Brown was chief whip, he started pointing out things in his office and as he was doing so a side door opened and a man stepped in. He pointed at the man and said "And that's a civil servant". The man reversed course, closed the door, opened it again and stuck his head around and said "Yes, minister". My classmates didn't get the joke, I did but was too stunned to laugh as Nick Brown and Gordon Brown had fallen about laughing and I was just thinking "aren't you meant to be running the country and not making TV jokes?" To be fair it was pretty funny :)
Or no-one left knows how to update it. Has it updated for any of the post-Sink outages?
And you knew those facts when you started using it. The whole context of this conversation was that users are complaining about those missing features on forums. So why are you trying to spin it as an outage or a surprise?

It's a rhetorical question by the way. I already know the answer.
Seems interesting, but I think it needs some use case examples to show how it differentiates from a tunnel, VPN etc.
As an example, would it be the right tool to access IoT data from small sensors (and actuators, therefore two ways) in a private LAN from external machines, including mobile, on untrusted public networks?
Or what if I wanted on all my laptops a shared directory that replicated on all machines what is being written on one, no matter which networks they're connected to, NAT etc.
etc...
Google or Russ Cox's reputation is irrelevant. The idea stands alone. I'm merely crediting him with the idea.

I read the proposal. There is no discussion of the legality of this at all. I'd expect anyone with any level of supposed technical competence to consider this in relation to global data protection. I suspect there has been no legal review as mentioned in the thread because I know how slow the lawyers in this space work and the timeline between publishing this and now is too short to have had a conclusive answer.

As for your point about GDPR, I think if you apply your right to withdraw from opt out data collection and what that entails and then ask how this glaring defect is missing from RSC's paper, then you'll see exactly how much privacy consideration really went into this.
> Innovation rapidly plateaus

Twitter shipped more features in the last 6 months than in the last 10 years. And that’s with a quarter of the staff too.
That is a good question, although it is tangential as even with socialized medicine, these kind of issues happen. People get seriously ill and die every day, regardless of the amount of care they receive.
Great. Just install the .NET SDK, and you get both languages. You can start an F# REPL immediately after installing with `dotnet fsi`.
Thanks. I like On Writing Well, too.
Yeah, but that's a super-weird study. If you read the data tables in the actual study (https://academic.oup.com/aje/article/155/12/1096/123184?logi...) you see some weird conclusions like

* For adult men 8-10 km away, the radio station reduced cancer cases by 75%! Hooray!
* It had slight benefits for the same group at 4-8 km
* It caused a couple of extra cases at 0-4 km

But then you realize we're talking about drawing conclusions from an n=40 study... That's just not enough to draw meaningful conclusions. And for children, it was n=8 !!!!!
In a word: comprehension.

I should be able to query specific details about a topic and get a consistent response with respect to its own and my own answers complete with citations of its sources. When I lie to it, it should know I'm lying. When I pose an argument it should actually debate instead of giving canned answers. When I ask something unfalsifiable it should recognize it as such instead of hallucinating. When I ask something in a deliberately vague way it should be able to pinpoint exactly what I made vague and ask for me to clarify that part explicitly. When I contradict myself it should ask me questions and continue the conversation instead of me doing all the heavy lifting.
I'm working on this project and constantly trying to find the right feature set to make Nix-based technology easier to adopt. We are still early in design and implementation so feedback for either `flox` or `nix` is valuable. AMA
Besides battling Visual Studio, `dotnet` cli and C# as a language, deploying a binary built on Windows to Linux was a breeze. If you're more used to the development environment, I bet it'd even be pleasant.
On the contrary, it's exactly what said "major power" would do and has done in the past.
I think GP gave a cynical, but fairly accurate summary. If F# is worked on by MS research, they certainly didn't communicate that in the strategy they just published.

C#

>We will keep evolving C# to meet the changing needs of developers and remain a state-of-the-art programming language. We will innovate eagerly and broadly in collaboration with the teams responsible for .NET libraries, developer tools, and workload support, while being careful to stay within the spirit of the language.

F#

> We will drive F# evolution and support the F# ecosystem with language leadership and governance. We will encourage community contributions to improve the F# language and developer experience.

Exactly!
You're making an early conclusion.

Which is that there is a common thread between Facebook, Instagram, Shopify, Fox and Twitter that doesn't cause outages at lots of other sites like a network link down or routing table misconfiguration would cause.
Surprisingly trivial. Hopefully, someone who cares about this will contribute!
There's no nice way to say this, so I'm going to be blunt. You and people like you are part of the problem here. You are why this kind of overreach is even on the table.
Awesome, love learning new stuff like this. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent idea!

Strongly disagree - they will lose credibility if they put out something half-baked. Yahoo existed long before Google search - they won because the experience was so much better that people started calling "Googling" rather than searching.
Look at how much you pay for taxes and ask whether four kids could be raised on that. The answer is likely no for anyone not in the top top percentiles.

Edit-google says 12980/kid per year. That’s 51,920 for four. Edit-if that’s 30% of income (guesstimate) that income needs to be 173-200k (guesstimate) to work out.
F# comes with the .NET SDK. Once you install it, you get F#, so F# isn't behind at all. Mono is largely irrelevant except for legacy applications things like Godot and Unity that use Mono.
> Do you know that it wasn't until 1800 or so, and only in the US, where the ever-present spectre of famine was eliminated? Economies simply were unable to produce enough food. It wasn't that the rich were eating it all. There just wasn't enough food.

There's no way to sugarcoat it - this is completely false. There were many regions around the world that were prosperous, many for far longer than the United States has been around.

Updates happen when I say they happen, not before.
Most of the time when I like something the heart animates in, and then (ostensibly when the network fetch round-trips) it animates back out and the count goes back to where it started. My tweets also average a solid 7-13 views, so when I was getting 429s back after not posting within 24 hours, I figured the shadow ban was just getting more transparent.

Whether it is or isn't, twitter definitely feels like it's dying from my perspective. My account was created sometime in 2008-2009.
Gwynne calls the shots because Elon put her there.

"Surely this next success is ALSO due to luck" - the loser comforts themself on the sidelines. "Surely, this is simply the 14th time they have gotten incredibly, improbably lucky."
You don't seem to be interested in a debate.
in the long history of ML, tensorflow is not that significant. realistically, nearly everything it did was available in other systems before. It was really just a grab for Google to try to get everybody to use their framework. But it wasn't a good framework, and it evolved terribly.

MapReduce was not and isn't something that made ML possible. It made data engineering at scale possible.
Dropbox iPad refuses to keep docs synced docs that I have specifically flagged for this. I routinely open the iPad somewhere without a connection and see that the docs are a month out of date.

Not as mission critical as the desktop app, but still pretty frustrating that they can't handle this core functionality after years and millions spent on other bells and whistles.
I got a weird message about "you are following people too much, only 4000 allowed" . I think I follow like 30 people or so lol. They are definitely looking into limiting people who aren't cash cows. They are overlooking the thing that makes twitter twitter, but keep accelerating that spiral.
Okay, after reading the homepage of OpenZiti, now I have a zero-trust-phobia.
Biden stated last year: "If Russia invades [Ukraine] there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it." [1] This was a clear threat, clear as day, that the US could destroy Nordstream. It should surprise nobody that the US was involved.

Since Nordstream was destroyed amidst public pressure from US energy companies who wanted to takeover the European energy market, the US has become the world's leading exporter of liquid natural gas, Europeans are paying record natural gas prices, and US energy companies are reporting record profits. Again, the relationship between these things should surprise nobody.

As far as I agree with the sentiment, mushrooms are the fruit-tip of the mycelium network.

I honestly don’t know if harvesting them change much. ( bare of methodically harvesting everything over a season )
Oh yeah IIRC I used to look at Bing search logs in Microsoft and I wasn't on Bing team. This was 2014. Things probably have changed.

IIRC there was some basic safeguards though, like a query must have had like 10 unique occurrences or something. I also have no idea if you could tie searches to people.

I was just looking at aggregate numbers. That was really cool. It was like Google Trends but with real numbers!
He deserves a lot of blame for not standing up for his former team when they were treated so poorly during the transition.

Firing people is normal. Doing it in an arbitrarily cruel way is not.
Structurally, from a people perspective, complicated but it’s not really systems complicated. IRC is simple, as is the software Freenode was built on.
> Another red flag: The vast majority of the article was about a political narrative, which really is focused around hurting Russia, and not who is benefited by the destruction of the pipeline. The US government does not own our energy industry and is often at odds with the gas and oil industry here, and this article assumes a level of integration that does not exist in the US political system.

I am not really qualified to judge on the verity of the article, but the statement that's there is no strong "integration" between the US government and the gas and oil industry (and other ones for that matter) is absurd. The US fought wars over access to cheap oil (Gulf war 1) has put extremely lucrative deals for their own oil companies into place after forcing regime change (gulf war 2), has highest officials transition to highest jobs in industry (Cheney), has shown multiple times that it will use intelligence apperatus for industry advantages (the spying scandal in Germany, airbus vs boring contracts...). Many (most) US military operations over the last 30 years can be directly attributed to economic motivations.
Well, then let's qualify HN as a mid-sized subreddit with a mostly well-behaved subscriber group and bunch of tricks (such as non-trendy UI) that reduce moderation load, making it possible for a single person to handle it.

Point being, comparing HN to Reddit is a category error; HN is in the same class as subreddits. This is less about HN and more about Reddit itself: Reddit is not a community, it's a network of communities on a common platform. Each subreddit is its own reality.
Based on there respective track records I sometimes wish that shttp was a thing. http over ssh.
> Wrong. Sorry. You are out of date with the science on this.

Which science has updated this conclusion?

> Weasel-wording like "every reputable study" can't change that.

Is that a civil way to word things? And why call me a weasel, if one sentence earlier you charitably assumed I was simply out of date?

> Did you even look at the linked study?

Which one - The one you linked? No, I'm not paying $62 to see how they did their review.

The vatican radio thing linked by someone else? Yeah, I did. I replied to the guy who posted it with what I perceive to be some flaws in that study. If you want to discuss it civilly, I'd be interested in that. But not if you're gonna bring this reddit-style "screw you for being wrong" kind of energy.
It's the obvious logical conclusion. Much of Europe is already actively trying to eliminate cash for quite a few years now. So the notion that a CBDC is acceptable specifically because cash will still exist, and that people won't be actively prevented from using cash in the future, is utterly absurd in light of the facts on the ground.
I just skimmed through the video and didn't see anything too terrible. To be honest, I don't care they forgot a phone. I'd rather see mistakes like that than over rehearsed presentations.
> what does that have to do with my comment?

Let's say hypothetically that your second sentence is wrong, and ability to fire people more easily than Japan is why US software took off. That doesn't mean it needed to be "fire anyone anytime". Just that it needed to be less locked-in than Japan.

In other words, someone made a claim for why the Japan software industry failed, which was employment law being at this extreme. You then claimed the other extreme was not necessary for success. And it looked like your post was intended as a counterargument. But it's not a counterargument unless those are the only two options for employment law. So I pointed out those aren't the only two options for employment law.

> The ease with which an employer can fire someone doesn't have much to do with why the software industry in the US took off versus other countries.

Okay, I think that's what your original comment should have said. Or it should have said "The software industry here didn’t take off because employers could fire people more easily than in Japan."

And then ideally supported that argument with more data.

Instead you made a weaker argument that doesn't help narrow down the truth very much.
No. All that happy talk about differentiation and market forces only makes sense when there is an actual competition. We have an effective oligopoly with no real choices between them. If there is no real choice, as consumers we have to force companies to adopt more consumer-friendly posture ( and yes, that means sideloading and all the dangers that entails ).
I'm just annoyed how few games release for Mac. I have a nice M1 all paid for me, but I can't game on it like I can my linux laptop - except that one has integrated graphics.

My backlog of unplayed (and yet to be bought) AAA games now encompasses most of 5 years at this point.
Yandex Search is decent, but over-indexed on Russian content. They’ve also suffered major brain drain since the war began so I don’t expect them to keep up with the AI arms race.
yup. the Nuke -> Avid -> Resolve pipeline probably covers at least 80+% of post-production in film and TV.

on the VFX side, Maya -> Mari -> Clarisse is still overwhelmingly common unless it's a studio that has their own custom tools. Throw Houdini in there for good measure (starting to replace Clarisse more and more for lighting and scene assembly).
Depends on the model. I used to tinker with tons of inkjet + laser models when I worked for my high school and then university IT departments. Some companies even sold bed of nail type programmers that would reset the chip on the fly. On many cartridges, the chip on the cartridge is just a simple SPI chip that maintains a print count. Easy to just erase and reset. This was common in the 00s and early 10s im sure newer printers have upped the ante. Things such as efuses, cartridges signing with a secret key could be possible and its probably inevitable if it hasn't happened already.
Seymour Hersh regarding the Osama bin Laden raid, in which the terrorist leader was killed in 2011: "Nothing's been done about that story, it's one big lie, not one word of it is true".

Later on in 2013, he changed his claim, such that he admitted some of the story is true, that is, that the terrorist leader was killed, after he encountered pushback.

That's missing what ABI is and what features can/can't be accessed by the app. Otherwise we'd call nes ROMs an even more stable ABI accessible across all modern systems.
Twitter glitch appears to be due to consolidating data centers and cutting costs
TL;DR:
For those who don't know, I joined Vercel ~6 months ago and it's been a wild ride ever since. And Support Center is the latest proof of that.

And let me tell you, working on this project was an absolute blast. I couldn't have done it without the talented designers and developers on my team at Vercel. We powered through the tough parts and the end result is just fantastic.
If anything kills Google search it's the ads. Search for a product and the first page can entirely be ads or sales links. You have to specifically search to find reviews (many of which are likely paid reviews), and search even harder to find actual real user reports. Typically I add "site:reddit.com" to the end of any search where I want to read people's opinions of a product.
