> He accused Twitter of being politically biased to the left and suppressing tweets, so he bought it to "allow free speech", except in his mind free speech apparently equates to being able to promote right wing propaganda.

I'm not a fan of Elon at all at this point. That said, this is more an indictment of the tech industry than Twitter alone. Most employees are some form of left, many of those employees sit on committees, have outsized wealth compared to the average citizen, donate accordingly, the executives among them have power, etc and tech plays an outsized roll on our lives now. This was made a lot more evident when Twitters head of trust and safety was interviewed and she was unable to identify, or had let situations go on, that were offensive to people you'd commonly call right where anything that was offensively to what people would commonly call left was getting combed over and at times over enforced. I'd also say that my perception of her was more that she had large gaps rather than outright hate. The biggest one that comes to mind is "#learntocode" which a bunch of journalists not only wrote articles but also used that hash tag on people working blue collar jobs, such as coal mining, that were under threat at the time. It's an isolated example, but that hash tag stayed promoted for quite a while.

This isn't to say that right-leaning oppression and left-leaninf oppression at categorically the same or have the same categorical effects. It does point to that we have larger class issues at play.
Right -- that $0.15 chip is only possible to be made at the end of the lifecycle of a $10 billion dollar asset (the fab); that fab can only be made with a $500 billion dollar development to make all the supporting stuff.

You can't make that $0.15 chip on a new fab partially because the chips made on a super tiny process are different in a whole bunch of different ways (operating voltages, temperature / environmental tolerances, etc).

Maybe you can scrape together enough legacy parts from expired fabs to make some number of legacy "new" fabs, but even that's super tricky because just making the fab facility itself is hugely expensive and you can't fund it by selling the high margin parts that funded the 1997 fab from 1997 to 2004.

The designs need to change to allow using the higher density nodes (redesign entire ecosystems of parts / products) or you need to accept that the $0.15 part is now a $20 part for the next 6 years or longer.
I'm thankful that I'll never have to work in a city again. It used to be that WFH jobs were "rare" or special case but I've seen tons of postings for totally remote.

Young adults will no longer have to uproot their lives to live in an expensive city. They could probably even get a job right out of college without having to stress about living situations.

> One has to ignore voting at Ukraine’s independence suggesting the inhabitants at the time wished to be part of Ukraine and not Russia

Yeah, no. The Independence referendum asked "Do you support the Act of Declaration of Independence of Ukraine?". To which 37% of the electorate of Crimea and 36% of Sevestopol said yes. They were never asked if they wanted to join Russia.
What are YOU doing about this? Are YOU letting your reps know this matter is important to YOU? Are YOU raising this issue with YOUr American friends?
You provided a very thoughtful comment and I appreciate it, but why don't you type quotes "like this"? (Not a dig - genuine question)
How do you determine whether you have been burnt out?

Because for me stimulants have helped against the symptoms that are described for burn out. By that I mean things like lack of motivation, helplessness, frustration, anxiety, incapability to feel pleasure, cynicism, sense of failure, self-doubt, etc.

While stimulants have a withdrawal period, I prefer to have an option to be productive and motivated for a certain amount of time and then when I don't have to do anything, it's fine to comedown as opposed to being constantly in that depressive state of mind.

Because stimulants remind me that it's possible to feel motivated, essentially. Otherwise I would never feel motivated. It would be a constant grayness.

And I can learn from the mindset I was able to have while being under the effect.

I also do few weeks of breaks to reduce tolerance and dependency when times are easier.

Salient points:

In sum, all five Anglosphere countries [US, UK, CA, AUS, NZ] exhibit the same basic pattern:

A) A substantial increase in adolescent anxiety and depression rates begins in the early 2010s.

B) A substantial increase in adolescent self-harm rates or psychiatric hospitalizations begins in the early 2010s.

C) The increases are larger for girls than for boys (in absolute terms).

D) The increases are larger for Gen Z than for older generations (in absolute terms).

Why did this happen in the same way at the same time in five different countries? What could have affected girls around the English-speaking world so strongly and in such a synchronized way?

[...]

At this point, there is only one theory we know of that can explain why the same thing happened to girls in so many countries at the same time: the rapid global movement from flip phones (where you can’t do social media) to smartphones and the phone-based childhood. The first smartphone with a front-facing camera (the iPhone 4) came out in 2010, just as teens were trading in their flip phones for smartphones in large numbers. (Few teens owned an iPhone in its first few years). Facebook bought Instagram in 2012, which gave the platform a huge boost in publicity and users. So 2012 was the first year that very large numbers of girls in the developed world were spending hours each day posting photos of themselves and scrolling through hundreds of carefully edited photos of other girls.

Russia losing its political objectives in Ukraine is not an existential threat to Russia so there is no reason they will escalate to nukes.

The Russian political elite are enjoying their luxurious lives in Moscow. Many of their children and grandchildren live in the West. They are not going to destroy the planet just because they will a smaller slice of Ukraine than they had hoped for.

It is interesting that "Russia will nuke the whole world" fear mongering is only coming from the people who want Russia to win.
I would caution against thinking that your successful outcome with unrestricted internet access as a kid justifies a laissez-faire attitude towards children accessing the Internet.

I think some people have a better ability to self regulate than others, and you are likely one of those people. Additionally, your online experience didn’t have “the algorithm”. There really does seem to be something addicting about modern short form content and it seems quite different from the content found on the early Web.
From my recollection of the Feynman lectures on the subject, basically yes. Nevertheless the overall theoretical efficiency is still considerably higher than an irreversible machine.

It’s not an area where I’ve followed the subsequent research though. I’d be delighted if someone who knows more chimed in. There are also some obvious advantages for being able to choose precisely when you do a reset and generate your waste heat.
That's another aspect of the screen time shaming mentioned above, a lot of those production hobbies use screens! If you want to record and share music with your friends, you'll be looking at a screen for quite some time. Are these people harming themselves by producing and recording music? Of course not nobody would suggest so, but that's the outcome when people eagerly suggest near zero screen time.

Also there's the other factor where we have this insane obsession with producing at all times. Producing for work. Producing for multiple side hustles. Producing with our hobbies. It's as if they're trying to speedrun a complete burnout, not just with work but with relationships and life itself. Some people really do need a reminder that it's ok to relax, to consume, to observe, to waste time with people you love.

Basically what I'm saying is more people should find the balance that works for them and question whether their current general routine makes them happy. I reckon for a lot of people, the difference doesn't really come down to screen time or production vs consumption, but an active choice to be doing whatever it is they are planning to do.

The main problem with government poverty programs is that they usually focus on spending money instead of giving money to people who need it. That is, the government spends money on things, but this is a very inefficient or even counterproductive way to help. And a lot of the time it just means that the money is going to whoever is politically connected.

A much more efficient way to help people is just to give them money directly, and then people can spend it on whatever they think they need.
Programmers being bad at naming things isn’t very damning. Add to that this guy made a few 1000 enemies with inside info with his hamfisted management, it would be leaked to the press 5 minutes after he orders it.

There are three ways to flush acute glutamate buildup from the brain:

1. Exercise. The brain can direct glutamate to be used as an energy source to dispose of excess amounts. Glutamate naturally flows by diffusion from areas of high concentration (in blood vessel wall cells) through the blood vessel wall into the circulating bloodstream, where the concentration is lower.

2. Eat a tuna sandwich or drink an energy drink. Vitamin B6 is a a coenzyme in the synthesis of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA from glutamate. Thinking jobs is also coincident with rising popularity of energy drinks from 2000s onwards.

Honest question: so why aren't iPhones cheap?

EDIT: thanks for all the answers, IIUC it boils down to "nobody cares if a luxury item from a western company is built on slavery, the only thing that matters is that poor people who built it cannot afford it"
The right answer to this is to prosecute the offenders, rather than implementing a rigorous means test process and shutting out people who might actually need help. It’s less efficient, but it’s the only humane option.
Do you really think putin is going to stop after he conquers Ukraine?
Assuming this isn't trolling/baiting:

Ukraine was invaded by its neighbour. Russia started a war.

Would you deem tweets that encourage donations toward Ukraine's military defence to be "promoting war"?

How about tweets that boost morale of their defence forces (well-produced propaganda videos, etc)?

The war isn't something that Ukraine wanted, but it was forced on them.

To then demote any tweet about Ukraine is throwing out the baby with the bathwater, and (in the examples I've given above) making their digital 'life' harder when trying to deal with a problem they didn't want.

I actually have no idea how printers (things that have been around for ever) are _still_ just so bad. I do get cheap printers tbf... but sometimes they just flat out do not work or can't connect or get jobs stuck in the queue, etc. I never experience this when buying other "cheap" peripherals, yet, printers just seem to consistently suck in almost every way.

“Outside the concrete jungle” and “have a family” are two separate things. It doesn’t take much googling to find some studies and literature reviews to show that there isn’t a definitive divide between people who do and do not have families when it comes to measuring “happiness”. As far as living outside of cities, this is obviously based on lifestyle preferences.
Indeed. The only levers government has is to subsidize demand and restrict supply, both of which have the effect of increasing prices and making life less affordable.
After falling on hard times post failed-startup/implosion/burnout (years ago), tried getting back into coding/hacking/sw dev last summer. I reached out here on hn, and was given help (thank you to everyone who helped: as my survival was in question, your help truly got me through). Did a few projects, did a ctf, and my brain started hurting and I imploded again.

I finally got another laptop a few months ago. Local guy brings me his Flutter codebase. Good chance to learn a new tech. It was going ok: I was superman for a few days learning the flutter/dart tooling, solving dependency hacks, getting it to compile, fixing bugs, and then, Bam. Can't code any more. Backed away.

Now, still burned out and homeless, but trying to start (another) hackerspace. Good distraction from the ashes of devastation.

I am unsure if I can write software for any sustained period of time ever again. It's scary since that's my only marketable skill and I'm still homeless and constantly scrapping for food money.

Some backstory: Despite repeated insistence from peers, skipped investing in bitcoin and ethereum at their beginnings and repeately thereafter, instead plugging away non stop on a dead SaaS product for a startup for years, which slowly failed; lost my partner, the life I had built, reputation, assets. Probably dealing with some trauma burn-in from this.

As for last summer, I distinctly remember the headaches from participating in the CTF. I had to, you know, think! Cool, solving tasks. Then, Bam! Splitting headaches.. :(

I still wonder if there's some zen place where one can focus intensely on a problem while remaining calm and at peace - never was able to find such a state of mind..
>Another litmus test I often amused by is how when where is a report of a bazillion of Windows infections (especially those when a user should explicitly run the payload, not just a drive-by) then it's Windows problem, but when there is a report of bazillion of infected Android phones and tablets then of course it's not Linux and therefore it shouldn't be chalked up in any "Amount of infected computers per OS" graphs, lol.

Normally, when it comes to CVEs you tend to see it targeted to the affected piece. E.g.: CVE-2022-38533 affecting GNU binutils and CVE-2023-25139 affecting sprintf() in glibc. Those two things are core parts of most Linux distributions, yet they are still their own distinct thing.

The fact that many times the accused piece of software is Android (like in CVE-2022-20472 or CVE-2023-21079) is just a testament of how big of a monolithic most of the Android userspace is, without ceasing to be a Linux disribution.

>But that doesn't make "an operating system distribution based on Linux kernel with system instrumentation and userspace common to other popular operating systems based on Linux kernel" equal to "Linux distribution" or "Linux".

Well, that's precisely one of the arguments[0] used in favor of naming some Linux distributions as GNU/Linux:

>Since a long name such as GNU/X11/Apache/Linux/TeX/Perl/Python/FreeCiv becomes absurd, at some point you will have to set a threshold and omit the names of the many other secondary contributions. There is no one obvious right place to set the threshold, so wherever you set it, we won't argue against it.

That's not how I read his comment at all: if the government grants are not doled out with oversight, it's entirely rational for greedy actors to minimize the dollars ultimately reaching the intended targets.
It downvotes UkraineCrisis (not just Ukraine)

Considering the massive propaganda operations from both Russia/Ukraine, it's actually not a bad flag.

Sure Ukraine is the good guy, but if you think that Ukraine doesn't run propaganda, you are completely naive.

Standard posix sockets are mostly just system calls. The TCP state machine is implemented in the OS kernel.

You can switch to raw socket and do the TCP syn/ack dance on your own but this is mostly done for network testing/pen testing, as there are more overhead involved, not less.

This is mostly because the OS actually controls the send/receive buffers used by the actual network drivers. The userland program just takes care of filling these buffers and the kernel and drivers take care of emptying them (i.e. sending). TCP flow control is handled by the kernel, freeing the app to focus on its data. This abstraction actually works quite well.

There are frameworks for userland network stacks, when you're working in high performance networking and need to avoid any overhead the kernel could introduce. The drawback is you need to implement the entire stack, including the low level driver, otherwise it would be slower than what you can already do with classic sockets.
Does anyone even really know what AGI means? Academic types seem to use it as a way to distinguish their work from more common applications of AI already in use than any kind of consistently defined term (I guess they got tired of kicking every working AI technology out of the field). It seems to me the term was created under the assumption that we would have to have near human level of intelligence to have systems that could generalize training across multiple use cases. That is obviously not the case. Just like with chess and image recognition and other supposedly hard problems, we got to generalization with much less "intelligence" than I think we thought was possible. If AGI is just AI that can generalize, then arguable we already have it. If its supposed to mean some kind of human type of intelligence, then I think someone should have done a better job of naming and defining the term. I tend to be uncomfortable with human-centric definitions of intelligence anyway just from the arrogance aspect.

Even without a Frankenstein solution I imagine it is very difficult, tedious, and cumbersome. Two banking cores will be wildly different and there aren’t very many open banking specifications. Not to mention that there are tons of bespoke business rules and drastic differences in how they are implemented. Also differences in the software will be derived in variances in how each banks lawyers understand the legal regulations.

I’d imagine it is probably like merging two spider webs together.
