Self-judged harshly. Your friend is playing WoW not just to escape but to feel accomplished in a group. He can't escape his biological need to fit in, compete with and succeed with his boys.
I see nix as a partial build system. It’s a more evolved makefile that will call bash scripts or other build systems to really build things in different languages. For OCaml you’ll need dune to build your projects, and that’s what nix will end up calling after setting the dependencies for you.
But what about fast, reasoned, logical thinking that places a high emphasis on internal consistency? There is no need for slow there.

Think eventual consistency rather than strict consistency in the world view and the thinking can be blazing fast and keep the other properties. The only advantage to slow is that it avoids the short periods of inconsistency, but that also hurts it since it is harder to make big changes in the world model.
> Payment failure

Visa now has Visa Account Updater [1], and Mastercard has Mastercard Automatic Billing Updater [2]. It looks like American Express has their own too [3].

If one configures some form of automatic payment on their cards (AutoPay in the US; direct debits or GIRO in other parts of the world), along with using a "wallet" comprising multiple cards or bank accounts like PayPal [4] — it feels like paying for services would go on for longer than expected.

Nitpick: Rent-seeking is a specific economic activity that doesn’t mean “buying property with the intent to rent it out”.

Rent-seeking is an activity where the perpetrator creates legal barriers that result in them collecting money without providing anything of value.

Many people hate on landlords, but unless they’re also actively restricting new supply, they’re not rent-seeking as the term is defined.

Sure, we aren't (at least officially anyway, not yet) physically in Ukraine, but I don't see how that makes any difference for the question. Imagine I said "stopping funding" instead of "leaving."

As for the rest, I don't doubt these people are beyond devoted to their cause, and I wish them all the best. However, I doubt our involvement on the whole is going to make anything better for anyone in the end other than the people manufacturing the arms. We certainly didn't end up making a difference for that POW in your link.
> can also lie through its none existent teeth about it

Ironically, it seems to me that you are anthropomorphizing ChatGPT a bit too much here. It has no reason to lie so I think it's more likely that it just doesn't know such game exists. It probably came up with it independently or doesn't have a strong memory of it. In some respect, it would be even more impressive if it was actually "lying through its teeth" because it would imply the AI had some kind of hidden agenda.
> What's the point?

Knowing that when things go to shit, you can at least have a cell phone?

I get your fatalist approach here, I really do. But if you think authoritarian companies are going to eventually ruin everything, I don't see why you'd go all-in on Apple. If you feel shorted by the Play Store's removal process, you won't like the App Store any better. If you're mad about first-world features like hardware attestation existing and being used, that's less Android's fault and more the modern development culture moving forwards.

Do whatever makes you happy in the end. Long-term though, I cannot imagine myself switching back to iOS. Apple has nothing like the AOSP, which love-it-or-lump-it is the best thing Android has going for it today.
>That doesn’t mean the formula is reasonable or transparent. An AI is also a specific formula that applies equally to everyone.

You can learn literally everything you need to know about how the FICO credit scoring systems works in probably two or three hours of dedicated research, even though the model itself is a trade-secret. When lenders deny credit, they're legally obliged to provide the specific reasons why.

This is not-even-in-the-same-ballpark as AI, where no-one can even tell you how inputs relate to outputs, not even the creators.
And the whole hyperloop makes me sad on general state of understanding of engineering. At least it is so big project that demo models just fail to work or scale up so money is only thing that will be wasted.

"Common sense" indeed. That subreddit was a hotbed of unscientific anti-vaccine lies. However, it was actually banned for breaking Reddit rules on brigading.

https://www.reddit.com/r/redditsecurity/comments/pfyqqn/covi...

Quote:

Claims of “brigading” are common and often hard to quantify. However, in this case, we found very clear signals indicating that r/NoNewNormal was the source of around 80 brigades in the last 30 days (largely directed at communities with more mainstream views on COVID or location-based communities that have been discussing COVID restrictions). This behavior continued even after a warning was issued from our team to the Mods.

I was studying body language a few years back, and learned about what particular eye movements often correspond to thinking-wise. A fun exercise that I did was I watched some of Elon's interviews but I tried to contextualize EVERYTHING he said with his eye movements alone. When viewing from this lens, you can glean a lot of interesting information. A basic example: For right handed people, looking up and to the right often means they are tapping into their imagination, whereas up and to the left is memory. You can basically plot a chart of how engaged Elon is throughout his interview/talks, and know what responses he has that are pre-canned and what parts of those responses are more rehearsed than other parts.

While I don't deny housing costs are a contributing factor in some (many?) cases, the strongest correlate seems to be legal and cultural female equality. I don't mean this judgmentally; it's simply by my crude observation the overwhelming factor. Childbearing requirements and expectations on the female just doesn't seem compatible with post-industrial era career aspirations.
> I muted USA Today in Apple News recently because their filtering was below the bar (click bait headlines, low quality writing). I don't know who the editors are that are making their decisions but I no longer trust that outlet anymore.

YOU MUTED is the key here.

"Majority of subreddit didn't like it so it got downvoted" is somewhat democratic will of community.

You muted a user coz you don't want their content is personal choice.

Moderator choosing to do so on a whim is neither of those. You do need moderators coz some people won't behave but many times rules of subreddit are basically there so moderator can point to excuse on banning or removing whatever they don't like, not to ban something people don't want there.

Media companies pulling shows so quickly makes me sad. It's one of those cases where I think they constantly misread the data. "People don't watch shows with a long story arc as they come out, so we should cancel them" is really "people don't trust us to continue shows with a long story arc until a good stopping place, so they don't want to invest the time in starting new ones"

If it's a small meeting I will say, "Give me a moment, I'm thinking". Even then it's faster thinking than I would like.

If I'm forced to answer something, the more significant it is the more of a caveat I will make. Something along the lines of "Right now, I think X would be fine, I'm worried that Y might cause problems. I will look at the code and let you know".

Then I always make sure to reply in an email to say for our conversation on X, I looked at Y, I found this, and also realized that Z will be affected. I'm basically buying time, the key, at least from my perspective is always going back and answering properly.
I disagree with that. It doesn't matter if Reddit doesn't want to be a search engine. People are already using it a search engine and they simply will never stop no matter what those ppl in Reddit are thinking. Better to embrace the search use case and make it search friendly.

I already showed how the assumption that the US can "twist others' arms" is not gounded in reality. The UN has a long and rich history of adopting resolutions that criticise US policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, yet here no-one sides with Russia.

It's quite surprising that even Belarus, which is internationally isolated, heavily depends on Russia, is deeply infiltrated by Russian intelligence services, and hosts a large contingent of Russian armed forces on its territory (to the extent that some don't even consider it independent anymore), refuses to fully endorse Russian narrative. Are they too under American influence?

Takes a strange kind of provincialism to attribute everything that's going on in the world to the US.
My problem space (building ROS packages for robots) is difficult enough that it was worth it getting over that hump for me, but I totally understand this perspective.

Simplest thing is to use Phoenix PubSub. Broadcast an "anomaly at x,y,z coordinates" message. Then each process can calculate whether it is close and needs to do anything. This isn't very efficient because every process will do some work for every anomaly, but unless your system is very large that's probably OK (it as least extremely parallelised).

The alternate approach is to create some form of central process registry that has all the coordinates and process ids, so that you can look up in one place and then send messages out to the relevant processes. There are some other replies about this sort of approach.
The shared memory architecture came directly from the SGI O2 in 1996. The O2 had dynamic sharing, but it was impossible to make it work in Windows.

O2 dynamic memory sharing allowed things impossible on all other machines with its infinite texture memory, like mapping several videos seamlessly on moving 3D objects (also thanks to the built-in MJPEG encoding/decoding hardware).

It's actually not that non-standard. It's how the majority of people who are into MBTI / jungian type view things (where I've linked MBTI to Kahneman's Fast/Slow thinking is non-standard, but a cognitive functions + functional stack view is not).

It's also what the more advanced "Step III" version of the official MBTI test is based on. But that that assessment isn't just a simple questionaire: it can be only be conducted by a trained assessor and the cost of training course runs to thousands of pounds, so most people don't have experience of it, and it ends up being the simpler naive model that most people learn about.
The original iPhone UI had “slide to unlock” written on the lock screen slider, because it’s not obvious until you learn it. On the emergency/power-off screen, there’s still “slide to power off” written on the slider. Recently I tried to explain to my father remotely how to restart his iPad. However, in his local language, there is only the equivalent of “power off” written on the slider (possibly due to space constraints, as the language is more verbose than English), and so he was at a loss of what to do, since he didn’t recognize that it was a slider.

Looking at the screenshot of the SOS slider, I would have a hard time recognizing it as a slider myself, when seeing it for the first time.
Asian Americans, Shifting Right
It’s complicated. From my perspective the core team was too slow to support a strong stdlib and so entreprises took over by replacing it. Now you have this ugly world where you’re split between these two things. And since everything jane street is poorly documented you are sort of forced into a poor ecosystem if you want to do serious OCaml projects.

The same thing is true with the build system dune and opam. Half-assed build system and package managers that we’re kind of stuck with.

I dream of a new cargo-like build+package manager system for OCaml that would just take over everything we currently have.

>fast thinking is not actually fast, but shallow and/or optimistic.

Sometimes fast thinking is fast. If you have mental models that the other doesnt, and those mental models are good in the limit of the context you’re in, it’s faster.

Of course if you both have the same mental models, or the models don’t work in the limit of your context, then more time lets you think deeper. Take chess. Two players in a 1min bullet game (mental models very applicable) vs two players in a 20min grandmaster battle (better to take time and think deeper)
PLCs are often a pain to integrate with multiple systems and are not nearly as versatile and simple as an internet connected pi running python, for certain desired tasks.

Please tell me which PLC you can get for $200 that runs python, can query some REST APIs, query and write to some databases, communicate with several other types of PLC and equipment, check a half dozen types of local sensors, and perform complex operations without purchasing a software subscription or having to be programmed in ladder logic.

Obviously they are suitable to different tasks, but there's a reason someone might reach for a PI to integrate new functionality, including on top of an existing PLC. They're tremendously handy in this environment, not just used because people don't know better.

If Quad9 were based in the US, it could just ignore the whole thing. But then, if Quad9 were based in the US, it wouldn't have happened in the first place, because any US court, particularly the US District Court for Northern California, which is the jurisdiction Google and Cloudflare are in, would have thrown it right out.

But Quad9 moved from that same jurisdiction in Northern California to Switzerland, and three days later, Sony attacked. Because of something called the Lugano Convention.

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL...

The Lugano Convention is a spectacularly ill-conceived treaty that allows plaintiffs to go jurisdiction-shopping in _any_ signatory country, even though it has no connection to either plaintiff or defendant, and then have the judgment enforced in _all_ signatory countries, even if it contradicts the national laws of those countries.

Unfortunately, Switzerland is a Lugano Convention signatory, as it Germany. So although Swiss law is clear that Quad9 is in the right, and that was actually just tested and upheld by the Swiss supreme court a couple of years ago, that doesn't matter, because the Lugano Convention takes precedence over national law.

Which is why people tend to get pretty upset about these kinds of treaties. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was a similar sort of deal, which the US did _not_ sign, since it was so widely protested.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Pacific_Partnership

But, to get back to your specific question, if Quad9 were to just ignore this, Sony would go back to the court in Germany, and get some sort of finding that Quad9 was maliciously failing to comply, it would get damages, and it would request Swiss law enforcement to extract those damages from Quad9. Swiss law would not be able to protect Quad9, and Swiss LE would be obligated to act on Sony's behalf. At that point, Quad9 could only continue to exist by relocating its headquarters to a non-Lugano-Convention signatory country. When we evaluated national legal regimes for privacy protection, Switzerland was best, the Netherlands second-best, and Iceland third-best... All three are Lugano signatories, unfortunately. I'm not sure where we'd wind up, but it would be a huge blow for privacy.
