The trick is:

> Using a "clean account with a character with a little history," Flan_Hill and an unnamed partner applied for membership in the EHEXP corporation. After the account was accepted, Flan_Hill transferred enough of his shares in the corporation to the infiltrator to enable a call for a vote for a new CEO. The conspirators both voted yes, while nobody else in the corporation voted at all.

> This was vital, because after 72 hours the two "yes" votes carried the day. The infiltrating agent was very suddenly made CEO, which was in turn used to make Flan_Hill an Event Horizon Expeditionaries director, at which point they removed all the other corporate directors and set to emptying the coffers.

Which reminded me of this paper I read about Russia in the 1990s:

> In a similar scheme, raiders call a shareholders' meeting but fail to provide other shareholders adequate and timely notice, either by mailing notices to the wrong address, sending the notices only a short time before the meeting, or holding the meeting in a remote, inaccessible location. At the meeting, they exploit the artificially created majority to vote in a new board of directors.

[Criminal Corporate Raiding in Russia, Thomas Firestone](https://scholar.smu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1222&con...)

It's unclear why none of the other shareholders voted though. Did they quit the game or something?
It is true, however, that the problem has been solved completely in the human-to-machine direction. The output of the current-generation LLMs is completely off base in many cases, but they certainly understand what they are being asked, for any useful definition of 'understand.'

I'm much more impressed by GPT's ability to handle input than I am in its ability to generate output. It's arguably as good at reading comprehension as most humans.
The flat structure is probably a double edged sword when it comes to getting traction.

You're ideas are less likely to be vetoed, but good like finding a champion other than yourself.

But I think that it's probably exaggerated - there are always hierarchies, but in this case no attempt has been made to define or force the structure.

I think that the bigger issue is this: Valve is a platform and distribution company, not a games company.

As the platform became the primary product, broad artistic creativity took a backseat.

I don't see it coming back, which is a pity - The Orange Box was exquisite.

> But 3D? You have to put on special glasses which you also have to remember to charge. Oh, and you can't look at other things while you're using them.

Passive 3-D glasses exist, and you can very much look at whatever you want while wearing them.

> There were some passive 3D displays (the Nintendo 3DS and a few early Android phones) but they required the user to stay in exactly the right position, or the illusion was destroyed. So you couldn't easily share the experience with a friend.

I had an HTC EVO 3D, and would kill to get that technology back. If friends and I can only look at stuff in 2-D at the same time, fine, nothing lost over the current status quo. But looking back at your pictures and videos in actual 3-D immerses you in the moment again in a way that's hard to describe.
Rigveda was composed some 1600-1700 years ago before greek invasion.
That, but through a federated local bluetooth mesh instead of a server is something that I'd appreciate a lot. Restricted to in-person opportunities, but liberating from not only the need for a deck but also from the need for a reasonably suitable table surface. And obviously a play on the "everybody just starting at their phones instead of interacting" trope.
And the current one is all the fear about transgender people. America seems to always need to be afraid of some group of people
TLDR:

> A player known as Flam_Hill in the online game EVE Online orchestrated a heist by exploiting the game's shares mechanic. Along with another player, Flam_Hill observed the 299-member corporation Event Horizon Expeditionaries (EHEXP), which is part of the Pandemic Horde alliance. They discovered that the corporation had minimal activity from its CEO and directors, making it an attractive target for infiltration.

> The duo applied for corporate membership using a clean account with a character that had some history. After being accepted into EHEXP, they initiated a vote for a new CEO, locking out the current CEO's roles. They waited 72 hours for the vote to pass, gaining control of the corporation. After being granted director roles, they systematically removed other directors and emptied the corporate wallet of 130 billion ISK.

> The heist also involved stealing assets from the corporation's high-security offices, which they believed were used to store valuable items. In total, the estimated value of the heist was 2.23 trillion ISK, or approximately $22,309 USD.
I suspect many of the parts on a John Deere tractor get thrown away when they could be repaired.
the original intent, at least in the usa, was to take away power from the government so that the people have more control or something. im not entirely sure, so take mine as grain of salt
It likely is your heartbeat. I had a similar thing for a long time. Advice would be to try and forget about it, and it will go away. The more attention. You give it the more prominent it will become.

I think the brain tends to filter the body sounds out of our consciousness in general and sometimes it sort of forgets to, or becomes rewired to notice or focus on something that is normally filtered.
That science requires risk taking means that the more institutionalized it becomes, the less scientific it becomes as institutions are naturally allergic to risk.
If an employee has been malicious during their tenure then other systems should have detected and caught that. That scenario can be decoupled from the termination scenario.

Think about making a 2x2 matrix (nod to Pascal’s wager):

Across the top: fire immediately, don’t fire immediately.

Down the side: employee is benign, employee is malicious.

There’s only one square where the company is at risk- bottom right.

The algebra is easy: terminate immediately and the company is not at risk.
I have been writing less and less lately. I think my good thoughts are being wasted on twitter and insta captions
> at least mentally.

Even without TDD, that's kind-of how I go: I'll have the top-down general structure in mind, but not in the code, and write the actual code bottom-up. That way I encounter problems with the implementation details sooner, and can more readily adjust the overall structure without feeling bogged down by what's already written.

In the broader structure though it's more like a through-line: One nice input/output, written in that bottom-up-with-top-down-in-mind way, all the way through a use case, then expand sideways with the other inputs/outputs built on the same lower-level functionality.
Applied to 3 companies in the last month, got 2 offers. Senior FE dev, Europe. Got lucky I guess, but we’re still extremely privileged. I’m getting 8 spam messages from recruiters weekly, used to get 20 daily. The big question is - is getting approached by recruiters a few times a week brutal compared to other jobs?
"At first, humans accept the deteriorations as the whim of the Machine, to which they are now wholly subservient, but the situation continues to deteriorate as the knowledge of how to repair the Machine has been lost"

Replace "the machine" eith "the market" and it describes some people today.

The OG Abrahamic religion does not proselytize, quite the contrary. They say it isn't ok to tell another tribe what to think unless they are cannibals in which case saving lives supersedes nonintervention. :)

In '84 I had a college class in experimental psychology, and the culmination of that was to perform our own experiment, which had to clear the IRB. Mine involved measuring the student-subject's galvanic skin response and showing them photos of art. To calibrate that device the protocol was for the experimenter to slap their hands together a few feet away from the subject. That was too much for the IRB even 40 years ago. They did not allow the slap. Too traumatic I guess. It didn't really make a difference because it was a toy study for a class. But that was a great lesson in IRBs.

Funny, I'm right at 8000Hz like the peak of their distribution. I've had tinnitus for years but never knew the frequency until now.
To be fair, the signup process is hassle-free.
The CEO voting mechanics is hardly obscure, every single CEO knows about it. Also hard to believe the biggest heist is 2 trillion, stealing 10 titan BPOs that have been researched sometime in the past 20 years would be worth the same.
Already started. At least two reported cases.

All I can do is tell what she wrote wasn’t hateful by any stretch.

But, did you post the right link? I read a post that said a trans person shot up a school which happened and says “Reddit pushes trans propoganda”, is that hate? The top comment says they didn’t use pronouns. Was the hate in the rest of the comments?
I didn't read the article but the headline is annoying bait; improving dominance of USA tech obviously improves USA national security.
Why would the government care if you're left or right, as long as you are a faithful consumer.

>After a decay time of one to five hundred years the radiotoxic content of the waste is comparable to the hazard potential of the total ash from a coal plant, which always contains natural radioactive substances.

And keep in mind that coal plants are notorious for releasing huge amounts of radiation, much more than that allowed from a fission reactor.

Combine that with the fact that China just broke ground on the CFR-600 fission reactor which is part of a plan for a closed nuclear fuel cycle which means zero nuclear waste. We have the tech for clean nuclear energy now, it seems foolish to devote so many resources to fusion.

I got it. Impossible is a strong word.
I used to play the game, like 13 years ago. I recall a similar drama about someome inflitrating a major organisation and stealing everything.

Endless arguments on whether this is a feature or a bug. Last time it was more of a sociel engineering and betrayal, this time it's more of a mechanical exploit.
YouTube wasn't a merger. It was an acquisition.

Yes, Google Video was similar sized to YouTube (maybe), but Google itself was far greater.

If you're bought out, the bigger company that now owns you can put more money behind your product vision and that leads to more employment.

Mergers only happen between 'equals', and in that case the benefit is the two companies can stop fighting each other in the market and 'synergize' by firing all the sales, middle-manages, and customer support that now are unnecessarily overlapped. Do you really need two sales guys to target the same customer now that you're the same company? No.

If you are a fan of Alexis DeTocqueville's "Democracy in America" you probably realize that he left off the very ending of that book title, "Democracy in the American Midwest" !! A lot of the really positive things he saw were seen among hardworking people of the MidWestern USA.

It's ironic that Ohio was so advanced because it used to be the USA's Silicon Valley (birthplace of American Aviation and many other inventions) but now has fallen economically the most among Midwestern states ... It's become the most Republican state now ... Coincidence? I think not!

I've noticed an alarming number of torturing crimes come from Ohio lately, too, thankfully it has displaced California which had a terrifying reputation after the Manson murders of the late 1960s!
Not a paid shill, but Loop Experience Plus Earplugs are really great. If you plan on going to a concert, they're a good option, or any other hearing protection specifically designed for concerts.
Agreed 100%. I have spent a ton of money with JetPens and I will continue to do so.

Not only is their store built, organized, and curated specifically for the items they sell and their customers, they also have knowledgeable and passionate staff members that write fantastic articles about high end stationery. I'm constantly learning new things.
Yes, correct. Just to add, things with hot taseer are recommended to be eaten in winter, to stay warm (not temperature wise), and cool things in summer.

One of my childhood memories is eating a lot of mangoes (which is hot) in one sitting in summer (which is when mangoes are available), and them getting nose bleed (because its hot). Worth it :)

I'd go with this, which I find the easiest to read:

x = foo01();
foo03(x, foo02(x));

In my head I tend to see code as a directed graph, and this one most closely matches that graph without creating too big a jumble on one line. The first one that also has y and z has additional nodes and edges, making the graph more complicated than it needs to be.

Your second one would have the simplest graph, except on one line like that it obscures that foo01() is called twice. If that second one was actually foo04(), then I'd prefer this as the simplest form (which I'd actually originally written before noticing foo01() was in there twice), because it has the simplest directed graph of all, and the code matches it very closely:

foo03(
foo01(),
foo02(foo04())
);

If the variables and function names were long enough, then I'd use that last format even with my first example, to avoid the whole "jumble of letters and numbers" while still keeping the directed graph simple:

the_big_x = the_big_foo01()
zimzamfoo03(
the_big_x,
bang_bar02(the_big_x)
);
It's a bit of an aside, but what do you get from the shadow DOM?

I've given a real, honest effort to using the shadow DOM for a bunch of WebComponents and it just seems like it makes everything harder for no benefit that I've been able to find. Every example I've found of WebComponents using the shadow DOM seems to show many many lines of weirdly-inverted HTML (templates/slots) and JavaScript, all to achieve what I can do in a few "document.creatElement"s (vanilla JavaScript) that are easier to understand. And using the shadow DOM means my global CSS styles don't apply to what I do there without absurd hacks.

I have honestly been looking for a benefit here, but I just don't see it. What am I missing?

Maybe they did it over a national holiday for whomever was in the corporation? Maybe the leadership announced a holiday and these guys took advantage? Three days seems like a long time for the leadership to be completely AWOL from a game like EVE but I guess it happened.
I feel like fun stories like this from EVE fell off as the same skillset was used in crypto exploits. Is the fact that people are returning to EVE a sign that crypto is past the peak?
Pens, pah. Wait until you hold a stainless or matte metal retro1951 tornado pencil, then use it on a pad of graph paper from Edward Tufte, or the reporter notebook (flip) or music art notebook with staff lines from Moleskine.

I have pens and pads that were gifts from luxury companies like Montblanc, and Hermés but nothing quite compares to those pencils and pads above.
In November I got disgusted enough to leave twitter, not just pull the plug, tear it out of the wall. To be clear -- very small twitter account, under 1K followers.

I just set up a new Masto account on a larger server, started watching, following, engaging.

A small case in point: Rands In Repose blog's accounts on both platforms. 42K followers on Twitter and 7.7K followers on Mastodon. Despite Twitter having 5.45 times as many followers, Michael Lopp reports significantly higher engagement on Mastodon. Just had this conversation with him.

I developed tinnitus a month ago after a flight. I was sick and coughing right after the plane, but this time, I didn't equalize the pressure in my ears as I usually do. A day later, I noticed the tinnitus. Two weeks ago, I went to see an ENT doctor who prescribed steroids and medication to improve blood circulation around my ear for two weeks. He said it might be because of the flight, and I should try to get rid of it as soon as possible, otherwise my brain would think this is the "new normal".

I think now the condition is better. Now hear the ringing sound from time to time, not every night, but sometimes during the day when I get tired, angry, or think about it. I hope this condition goes away soon.

They make a big distinction on that freelancing forum. They call the ones you are talking about "content mills." It looks like what is happening, is that low paid content-mill human writers are getting pushed out by GPT, and they are now competing for the jobs that the non-content-mill human writers were doing. This cascade is driving down the payment amounts for freelance writers across the whole spectrum of skill and expertise levels.
If you're building screens for every set of configurations that you're defining (and doing it a lot) then you're doing it wrong.

If you can specify some sort of schema for configuration in general, then the screens can generally be generated.

You generally don't want or need to display different instances of the same sort of configuration property in fundamentally different ways.

I think that what you get from a (decent) GUI is discoverability of features, whereas what you get with the CL is specificity.

The former makes computers accessible to the masses, the latter provides power to administrators.
I mean, every platform develops its culture and attracts the people who enjoy that culture. If it's not for you, nothing wrong with that.

But I think "insular" is a funny word to use here, in that it being one giant space meant that self-segregation was a much harder choice to make than on, say, HN or a given subreddit. The thing that always kept me using it was the great variety of voices there. Some of my favorite people to follow were not the ones saying much, but the ones with excellent editorial judgment about who to retweet, exposing me to so many different perspectives.
1) that hardly ever happens, it hasn’t caused any widespread issues in the decades Wikipedia has existed.

Yeah you're right about this, but it isn't irrational. Human societies have been as successful as they have because of social contracts. The phenomenon you're highlighting here is just society's immune system to protect itself against violators of those contracts.
