Oh I have a Binance story. Back when Binance was smaller, they had a system to let cryptocurrencies compete to join their platform. Every month or so, the cryptocurrency community which bought the most BNB was added to their platform. They presented it as a fair competition, saying the intention was to add the most popular cryptocurrencies through votes and only one BNB per user was allowed. When I discovered a cryptocurrency community was blatantly cheating the system, creating fake accounts, spending thousands of dollars in BNB funded by the creators of the cryptocurrency (in a public Discord server), I contacted Binance to get them disqualified or at least a warning, but despite mountains of evidence, Binance did nothing. It was just a scam to prop up BNB. From that point, I knew what kind of company Binance was and never trusted them with my money.
It's a great smoke screen for sure. They've been wanting to do this for ages. Now they have an excuse. Some would even venture to say that they knew about FTX and let it slide until it blew up, same way they knew the Saudis were funneling money to 9/11 terrorists and did nothing, then went to war with Iraq. Coinbase feels like Iraq right now. LOL. I mean some may say this is the emergent AI of gov acting out, not anyone doing it consciously. Something is extremely disturbing about this coinciding with an FBI-coordinated mass censorship campaign that upholds the field of denial everyone is stuck in.

If one person says something, then sure, perhaps they just misread it.

If multiple people respond in the same way (which has happened here) then maybe, just maybe, they're all reacting to the same thing and you are just shit at making your point known.
In that case they need to prosecute all the road crews and gas stations. Those people know with certainty they are providing for criminals, and they do nothing to stop it.
Parsing is way more interesting than regexes. Look up recursive descent parsers to get an idea of where to start. They are conceptually simple and great for getting an overview of how, exactly, you can write a recognizer for different sets of text.

Ding ding ding. This is the winner. I have yet to see someone who is bitching about Electron actually show that the render time in the client is really what's causing the performance issues.

Almost always the issue is that fetching/updating a remote resource is just slow. It's SO freaking slow compared to local access.

Worse - almost every other aspect of computing is actually getting quite a bit faster, but RTT isn't going to change.

To gently challenge your acceptance of an absurd, disconnected "challenge" -

When every service starts pushing 20$ subscription fees onto their service to support their backend usage(s) of these services (in a desperate attempt to remain relevant in a global recession), then every service becomes base + 20$ cost.

Tabulate various "services", e.g. netflix, disney+, mail-order subscription(s), lets say two or three, this quickly tabulates to 200$ per month (30 + 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 ~= 150, don't forget shipping and taxes).

On a 6 figure salary, that's chump change. On a "above minimum wage" salary, you are lucky to have 20$ a month in spare change. In a world where most jobs have disappeared, your 1500$+ rent and 800$+ month becomes suddenly unaffordable for most people, and as most people are unable to pay, rent/subscription prices rise even more.

"Open" AI is truly a disaster in the making, in every possible way.

Are you talking about something two or three links deep branching out from the article? I don’t see any language even suggesting there’s such data to navigate to that’s specifically related to the article’s subject. There are three links in the article that seem to link to some procedural background stuff they thought offered good context to what was being discussed. What information specifically in the article did you feel satisfied the ability to derive on the spot?
Backup tools don't necessarily model mutation, since their purpose is to encode immutable snapshots of data. The modern ones that use deduped content storage also generally like to make snapshots independent of one another, so you can prune snapshots without worrying about invalidating another dependent snapshot. As a result, introducing a new version of a file likely has the same O(n) cost as backing up a new file, as long as they both contain content chunks already found in the storage area.

These backup tools also don't generally have to optimize random access to parts of a file. They may just store a linear sequence of chunk IDs to represent one file version. To bring this back to an active system that supports random access by a program with patching, I think you'd really need to adapt a copy-on-write filesystem to use content-defined chunking instead of fixed offset chunks. Then, your insertion is likely an operation on some tree structure that represents the list of chunk IDs as the leaves of the tree. But, this tree would now have to encode more byte offset info in the interior tree nodes, since it would vary at the leaves instead of each leaf representing a fixed size chunk.

Thanks for linking Justin's paper, he has been the lead of the engineering camera system for Perseverance and, IIRC, for Curiosity before that (https://mastcamz.asu.edu/team/justin-maki/)

That paper is largely about the engineering cameras (for localizing obstacles, path planning, EDL diagnostics, etc.) -- as opposed to the science cameras (see paper Table 1) which would often be even more exotic from a hardware POV (e.g., spectral sensitivity and photometric calibration).

The table links the following articles on science cameras, for example:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11214-020-00755-x

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11214-021-00812-z

I guess the cost of the hardware might be of some interest, but as you can guess from a look through these papers, it's the supporting engineering (e.g., calibration and I&T) that dominates the system cost.
Can you give an example usage? I cannot figure out how to invoke your PRNG.
It's a human nature problem, and here's a pretty trivial example in a different realm:

I am a commissioner on the Parks and Rec commission for my suburb (the citizen oversight commission appointed by the city council). I often hear from my fellow residents about some problem that they want solved, and half the people who tell me about problems follow up their problem description with some form of "And if they city would only do X..."

Every time one of these issues is brought before the commission, the staff explain the 37 different factors that they have take into consideration in finding a solution. "Just doing X" is rarely feasible because of a plethora of factors that they person who suggested that was unaware of.
There is more genetic variance within "races" than between them. Your imagination is neither necessary nor sufficient for it to be possible, let alone feasible.

I also honestly do not understand why China is the bogeyman here given that Long Island, NY was the eugenics capital of the world within living memory. Utah, the state in which I live, didn't shutter its own eugenics program until the 1960s. I'm trying to recall when China dropped nuclear ordinance on civilian populations and really failing here.

I figured it's probably a western bubble thing and sure enough most people in most countries don't view China as the obstacle to world peace. https://fullfact.org/news/america-world-peace/
Why? What's better with podman in this context? Genuinely curious since I can't think of any real advantage.
The top comment in the video mentions someone's experience with resistor binning with a batch of 10% resistors having no samples under 5%. Anyway, the resistors binned for tighter tolerances aren't going to have to have a trough in the center of the distribution - they'll have cutoffs on either side. Binnig can be repeated for any tolerance desired, so carbon vs metal film doesn't have anything to do with it.
Gitlab is very good and feels almost the same.
Yes TikTok is a National Security issue. The issue with TikTok v all the social media companies you named is one thing.

The US government cannot censor or control TikTok the same way they censor and control US based social media companies. The US alphabet boiz have all access and muscle to get the data these social media companies have one way or another.

Construction hasn't gotten cheaper in the US, though. In fact, it's more expensive than ever. Yet, individual labor wages have not increased, So...what's going on? Other factors. You can't ignore them just because it suits your argument. The fact is, it's demand driven, and why in 2009 there was no demand (despite how much automation was available.) And workers aren't seeing the gains of automation (e.g. many are being replaced by them.)

> I don't really buy that. It's true that most positions are IC positions, i.e. not managers, but quite a lot of them require domain knowledge and human intervention in edge cases which can't be handled by automation. If automation could solve all the problems, why are so many people oncall?

I don't mean IC vs manager. In any case, at my company our support staff has been reduced by 75%. In my previous life as a mechanical engineer, I've seen control systems replace 90% of powerplant staff. Also, generative AI just became a thing - because SWEs can be more efficient, you simply need less, UNLESS there is growth or a new market emerges (certainly possible), in any case millions will be left behind, just as what happened in the rust belt when manufacturing collapsed.

In any case, I hope you're right and I'm wrong :)

Calling people you dislike “stupid” and “low intelligence” is indicative of bigoted attitudes.[0] While I'm in favour of reclaiming some meaning from the word “stupid”,[1] what you're doing here is not that. If you care about this sort of thing (which you seem to), you might want to reconsider how you go about it.

> > Using circular logic

It is best for your criticisms of things to be founded in truth, where possible. The first and last resort is the truth. It's a good habit to get into. There were plenty of other things you could have said, including:

> No, it's actually quite relevant.

You needn't worry about the truth justifying bigotry, in case that's the issue: while it's theoretically possible for a given piece of bigotry to have a basis in fact, reality seems to have some rather strong opinions on the matter! :-) If bigoted rhetoric had a habit of being correct, I think I would've found out by now. And if it were true, you would expect to see certain kinds of bigotry popping up in multiple places independently; rather than having traceable provenance, either as adaptions of prior bigotry, or as traced back to a historical figure with a strong and documented motivation for having people believe it.

That's not to say you need to put much effort into responding. But if you feel like putting that little effort in, it's best not to respond at all.[2]

Zoning and urban design.

If everyone is in their cars because driving is a necessity, people are more isolated compared to places where you can walk/cycle/transit for most errands and day-to-day life, where you are more likely to bump into someone. Car-centric suburbs also tend to have fewer 'third places':

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place

If the only way kids can get places is via a car ride, everything is also more regimented, as compared to a neighbourhood where there's a local park where older kids can go by themselves and younger kids/toddlers/infants are taken by their parents so there are some adults around.

Low latency would open up a whole lot of interesting applications. Even Elevenlabs doesn't seem to have low enough latency in my testing to work as a convincing voice assistant or to, for example, work in real time on a phone call. For that we likely need QUIC or some kind of streaming protocol.
Linux. It is actually quite nice.
Having a complex system under the hood is not inherently bad, so long as you have non-leaky abstractions that allow that complexity to be reasoned about (pods, services), sane guardrails that let you know when you're throwing away key guarantees (privileged containers), and reasonable defaults for portions of the system that you don't yet need or care to engage with (resource limits, among others).

Kubernetes may be a system that invites overcomplication, but it in no way requires it— in a world where anyone can run k3s or microk8s on their own laptop and a Kubernetes hello-world is like 10 lines of yaml, I don't think it's a stretch to posit that that's the interface that makes sense to use up and down the stack.
> The government is a financial bully.

Yes in the same way the EPA is an 'environmental bully' - so actually no.

I'm really not sure what this means - I suspect you're conflating fiscal and monetary policy.

> Then it causes inflation which robs financial value out of everyone who lended to it.

Inflation has many causes, changes in supply aren't necessarily inflationary - what matters is what that new supply is used for and where demand is coming from. For instance there's a ton of demand for dollars from abroad. If new money is created and it goes into say dollarized nations then no, it doesn't. This is but one example. That's why supply increase isn't inflation - it's supply increase.

Actually they telegraph them far in advance.

They will absolutely tell you in advance, like they told us they'd start tightening well in advance. That doesn't mean people won't try and front-run it.

I suggest you think this through some more.
Signal is encrypted in transit, only sorta at rest. If someone gets your device you're already in serious trouble. Disappearing messages is the best bet against it, but if someone takes screenshots or the app isn't opened after the time as elapsed and the SQLite database is extracted, you're out of luck.
The other aspect of twilight sedations is: do you feel pain and then lose the conscious memory, but retain the stress reaction's affect on your body?

And similarly for anesthesia: even if you don't feel pain, is your body having a stress reaction? Obviously yes to some extent, for the non-neural pathways that are physically insulted during the procedure, but what about for neural pathways?
Real world example: One of the app teams I work with has apps for iOS, Android with Google Services, and Android without Google Service (FireOS). The FireOS app is behind the Google app and here's what one of the Android devs had to say about it:

"There are a few libraries we use that aren't supported on Amazon, but the big ones are that it doesn't have access to the Google Play store or Google Play Services. Amazon has their own app store and subscription system, which isn't too bad conceptually, but it does require restructuring the subscription code to have a more generic store interface, and implementing that for the Amazon store

Google Play Services is more of a pain. They've become much more integral to Android apps generally since we last updated the Amazon app, and we've also become more heavily dependent on things like Google Analytics/Google Tag Manager. The native APIs for those rely on Google Play Services. The suggestion from Amazon seems to be to use the javascript versions, which I think means creating a dummy webview and invoking javascript through it."

So there is a time cost associated with maintaining this bifurcation which may not match up with the potential return.

Granted, this maintenance may be a one-time investment or can be thought of when designing a new app, but many apps have been around for years at this point and have plenty of baked in assumptions about the OS ecosystem that it's running on.

I'm not saying alternate OSs can't be done, but it will be a hard sell for many app product teams unless engineers add support out of love for the project on their own time.

If you don't see the difference between knowingly helping a designated terrorist organization launder money (specific and known criminal and crime) and operating an honest business in a high-crime neighborhood (statistical likelihood of aiding a criminal), you shouldn't be making business decisions or running a financial services firm. It's an obvious distinction, one that a roomful of people with basic legal instruction will agree on 99% of the time, except for the one with a profit incentive to argue the opposite.
