If Twitter wants to survive it should stop antagonizing large users to make political statements
Translation:

"I own lots of bank stocks. Don't screw this up for me."
Twitter have got the govenrment-funded label on VoA now. But not the BBC, curiously.

> some personal beef the owner has with NPR

NPR is a bogeyman of the American right-wing media, which Musk seems to be consuming an awful lot of in recent years.
Can't IoT devices be made on older fab's like the 32/40nm and up fab's available in for instance Germany (GloFo)? There are more of them in other more-or-less stable regions.
> One thought that’s haunting: how long before AI friends are more interesting and stimulating than any real person would be

It can simultaneously pass the bar exam and port Java applications by name to POSIX compliant C. It can get into deep philosophical conversations, guide you through doing market analysis, etc.

It can take you on a text based adventure set in your favorite nostalgic video game, take on the personality of characters from your childhood, DM a D&D game, etc.

If you are in it for mental stimulation, I’d say GPT-4 is already more interesting and stimulating than any human. It’s like talking to someone who is 50-90th percentile in a wild number of fields and wildly creative.

But it can’t drop acid with you at a deadhead concert, so at least humans still have that to keep us interesting.
> You missed the point: using "shared objects" would have to be explicit with "dlopen/dlsym/dlclose'.

dlopen and friends are function calls that you cannot evaluate build time. Actually not even at runtime as they are by nature dynamic and conditionally dlopen is a thing. Any shared object dependency tracking would be impossible or a new standard would be required.

Also dlopen is a POSIX standard. ELFs are used in many other places non POSIX.

> Mixing static linking with dynamic linking was not a good idea in the first place, and I mean it.

Why was it not a good idea? This happens all the time, especially the code that is at the very first executable address of the elf until some libc prepares things is arguably statically linked.

> [...] but to go something like NGELF [...]

Sounds interesting. Could you paste a link? I could not find it in google.
You're making this more complex than it actually is: the scenario in question is a self-driving car that's already known to the local government and is explicitly being used for testing/research purposes. It's difficult to imagine an innocent or unlucky citizen who would be ensnared in a fine structure designed to disincentivize traffic problems caused by experimental self-driving cars.
S76 machines don't come with Windows drivers. They also require custom firmware packages on every distro except POP OS. Coreboot BIOS has almost no options available to the users via UI.

NVIDIA is still broken on Linux and even moreso with S76 + Coreboot. Sleep does not work. S76 firmware required to change to hybrid, compute, or integrated mode for graphics card.
My interest is training a model on myself and everything I’ve learned through life so that if I die, my kids might be able to extract some value from my experience. Learning life on your own without help can be tiring and costly (both emotionally and financially), and bad advice can be worse than no advice. A guide would be helpful imho. Step 1: survive. Step 2: enable yourself to thrive.

I already have boxes of paper notes and videos I’ve recorded, as well as books and url bookmarks, just need to get them into a machine readable format.

Why would you spend millions to interact with the world like you are in a prison?
I believe the market has slowed down. The amount of recruiter emails I receive are now more sparse. I have been passively looking for new gigs and so far landed one interview and sent three applications. I’ve worked close with recruiters for years and understand enough how some things work.

After viewing the comments I see a few things that stand out.

People are mass sending their resumes. I think this shotgun approach doesn’t really work given the state of how many people are submitting resumes. You will get filter out.

The idea is to get you in front of hiring managers.

This is where recruiters come into play. Working with recruiters that has continuously placed candidates at job x is a better approach.

Write cover letters to the hiring manager.
Your resume has to be tailored to the role.
Write follow up letters showing your interest for the role.

Companies are willing to hire a less experienced engineer over someone with more due to their greater interest in the role.

If you think your experience alone is going to get you the interview or job, think again, FAANG engs are having a tough time securing roles.

You need to make it sound like there’s no other place you would rather work at for the next five years than there. However do this without sounding desperate but with great interest and a desire to contribute and offer something.

In a flourishing or surplus market, I wouldn’t normally do any of these as it’s not required. In the previous market anyone could get in front of managers without much effort.

However we are in dire times where companies are careful who they hire and one has to really stand out to be picked.

Be picky and don’t just chase anything, even if you’re desperate.

Gluck.
If they're only pretending to believe, they already know they're wrong.

If you sincerely do just want to communicate this to them, I recommend using "God" instead of "Skygod". It doesn't change the message and it makes it sound more like you're speaking in good faith.
Many people, including many people on this site (and, yes, including myself) wouldn't think twice about plugging into an available port if they need a charge. Maybe I don't plug into an unlabeled port in some random location where it doesn't look like it belongs, but honestly I wouldn't think twice about charging at a designated area at a conference.

(Though, yeah, I'd avoid a lot of "normal" activities if I ever attended BlackHat.)

i recently signed up for linkedin after years of sitting on the fence.

Immediately they want to authenticate my account by having to send a copy of govt issued id card.

I am 'not' a fan of that. Since then i stopped trying to login.
Not sure if i should just create a new account because the first one was also fresh. Still, this is a pretty scummy way to collect id cards
That would depend entirely on the specific details, including that 99% funding number. If you wanna allege specifics about NPR beyond "they once hired someone who used to work for the government", go for it.
> It made me wonder how often I'd be worried about finding a charger if I owned an EV.

There are many apps for locating chargers. Including ones that are built into the cars themselves. They include route planners that tell you where to stop and to what capacity you need to charge.

The biggest issue I've heard from road trippers is that non-Telsa charging stations are hit-or-miss. They either don't work, take several tries to work, or charge below stated performance.

It's not even recommended for me in my country. Canada and Ontario currently recommend three rounds of the monovalent vaccine for healthy younger adults without immunocompromise. The large majority of the population has recieved those recommended doses.
I think that's a pretty bizarre way to take "this person should not have had children". Once they do it, we can't talk about it? Do I have to stop saying "let's work to end teen pregnancy" because of all the kids out there who whose mothers were teens?
I'm looking forward to using this for my startup. Lots of people are using LLaMA derived models but I'm not sure if they're reading the license since it's still non-commercial only, even though many people are treating it like true open source.

The only other one I've seen that's actually open source OpenAssistant, also based on the pythia models I believe.

Hubs and secret management in Livebook notebooks
Hi everyone, member of the Livebook team here.

Dealing with sensitive data in code notebooks is a pain point [0]. That's why we've been improving secret management in Livebook for a while. And now we have more news we're excited to share.

In this new release, we added notebook stamping. Together with the other Livebook features, this helps to make notebooks readable, open, and safe to share.

Let me know if you have any questions about those new features or anything related to Livebook's launch week. :)

I get very wary of lifetime licenses because when companies start offering them it often means they are scrambling for cash. The lifetime of the product might be six months or less from when you purchase.
By definition they're state funded, but not state ran. The implications from the optics though may result in extreme takes. Though we could assume there's at least some influence the funding has.
US CDC Encouraged People to Take Post-Sex Pill to Combat Rampant Rise in STI's
I hope you get some great free advice, but odds are that this situation is incredibly complicated and involves a lot of details we don't have access to and some very complicated laws and contracts. Odds are that the only good answer anybody here will be able to tell you is "Go and find the best attorney in a big firm that you can find who has experience in this domain who can clearly spell out your options and give you the best possible advice. If this is about life-changing money, spending a few thousand bucks on professional counsel will be worth it for this situation."

That is simply a defect, not something structurally wrong with the Prius design.

Did you have it checked out by a competent garage? Prius is a complex machine and needs proper care or it will break. I had a similar hybrid in Canada and it worked like a charm except for when it was < -20 Celsius, then all kinds of weird stuff would happen. Apparently the manufacturer had not really thought about the range of operating conditions that their product would be exposed to. So in the dead of winter when it was super cold acceleration would be underwhelming, but once you know that it is like that you simply don't put yourself in situations where this can be a problem. I've driven 2CV with an anemic 600 CC engine (there also existed an older one with only 375 CC) and it was perfectly safe in traffic, if you worked within the limitations of the car.

In the end it is the driver that matters, not the vehicle and if you put yourself in a position where 'you need power to get out of a situation' you are most likely already at the end of a long string of mistakes. Keep in mind that there isn't a truck on the road that can accelerate as fast as a personal car and yet they are not constantly in danger because of a lack of power.

Probably to reduce volatility in the measurement and because their main policy tool of interest rate hikes takes a while to take effect.
Does Redis Need a New Architecture?
I have no idea how it's called but it is a very noticeable effect and also happens whenever I run a freshly compiled executable for the first time. It usually causes a delay of about 0.5-5 seconds depending on the wifi connection. Which is kind of insane, to upgrade to a literally 3 times faster machine and then it sometimes runs slower than before.

And not network-related but still annoying is Mac OS' habit of always spinning up connected harddrives each time a "save file" dialog opens, which causes that dialog to be completely unresponsive until all drives are ready. Save a file and the most expensive Mac can be bottlenecked by a single external HDD. It's just so unnecessary.

It looks like they're closing "Pull Requests"?

Has Laravel never had "Issues" on Github? The missing "Issues" link on the repo is the only odd thing that sticks out to me.
I think the issue is the incentives have shifted over the years.

A lot of software today is built to drive a specific user behavior to generate revenue instead of being designed from the start to provide customer value.

User-hostile behavior, dark patterns, etc. are all a symptom of this. Additionally time-to-market and marketing bullet points are often more important than user experience of bug-free software because many companies have found they can make the same revenue without having to focus on the customer experience.

Classic software was not as big-free as people like to think. There was lots of BAD software. The difference was that with higher prices and the inability to push updates (aside from mailing floppies) meant that the incentive was to produce software that had fewer bugs.
Never figured out how to use Hertzner. Wanted to try since they get such a good reputation on here, but they banned my account when their system presented no way for me to verify my identity.

The required either PayPal or passport. I have no PayPal account, and their 3rd party verification system only allows passport from your country of residence (signup requires providing a contact address and they pre fill using this address; you can’t change the passport country). I am a British citizen living in Japan, and therefore hold a British passport; there was no way for me to provide a Japanese passport. I asked what I should do to comply, and they banned my account 6 hours later.

I can’t be the only one to experience this, can I?
Introducing new distros to solve the problem is moving in the wrong direction. It's so much easier to deal with one distro in the cloud. Just more reasons not to go multi uArch.
Irrelevant. If any significant number of them are "social contagion", then that is an argument for puberty blockers to remove any pressure for more invasive and irreversible changes while the person in question is too young to decide for themselves and have not had a chance to think it through.

Your reasoning is fundamentally flawed, and appears to just seek to justify the extensive harm your immoral stance would result in.
Just stick Debian on it. It'll be familiar enough from your Ubuntu experience, and if all you're going to do is slap Docker on it and run everything in containers you can just use Debian Stable, not care that things in the repo might not be bang up to date, stick unattended-upgrades on it, and never really worry about it until dist-upgrade time.
Does anyone still use Twitter? I tried to delete my account a couple years ago (well before people complained of post-musk problems) and couldn't do it.

> On the surface "1e5" == 100000

Coercing an explicit string e.g. "1e5" to a numeric is boneheaded. It's fine to support different numeric formats like exponent or hex format. Weak typing and type coercion is a major footgun in a language.
Assuming you have separate java services, do you really want to bundle a different "minimalistic jvm" on every container, or use containers that share the same base layers?

If you use 200x images based on, say, `FROM docker.io/library/eclipse-temurin:17-jdk`, you only use 230MB + all other JAR/overlay layer sizes.

> That being said; I dislike both full subscription (i.e. breaks on expiration) and lifetime licenses. Subscriptions are too expensive for software that rarely gets major investment and lifetime licenses are dishonest (e.g. company cannot work for free, so their funded is based on unlimited growth, which isn't realistic for most).

There's two "lifetime" models, as you noted:

1. the good old way, provide someone an installer and a license key valid for this version and optionally older versions and N years of patches. Adobe used to do this with the Creative Suite, Microsoft did it for Office and does it for Windows, Atlassian does so for their datacenter and not-yet-expired self-hosting licenses and JetBrains does it for their IDEs as well.

2. "lifetime" as in "buy once, get upgrades in perpetuity". That one entirely depends on the business model of the developer. If it's just some hobbyist developing a piece of software because they want to solve a problem they have (e.g. Hyperswitch, SizeUp for Mac) or open-source developers, that's just fine - they do the work anyway for themselves but get a ton of coffee. If it's something MANY MANY MANY people want but the maintenance effort is low, something like the Slysoft/Redfox suite of DRM removal tooling, it can work out as well. The critical thing is something that needs a ton of ongoing maintenance... and most of these fail spectacularly or do rug pulls on their users.
No I don't think so. Look at the current interest rates. Monetary policy is the hammer as theory implies.

It looks like the randomness is generated at shuffle time and then maintained. You can check by hitting « fan » and then « flip » multiple times. It always returns the same card order between shuffles which seems to imply that it’s maintained.
Good, but asset values are still near historical high valuations.

The Fed plan isn't to just tame inflation but reduce employment to slow wage increases, reverse asset gains with "higher for longer", and restore credibility.

Get comfortable. Still a long way to go before that pivot.

31% of their funding comes from member stations. 13% of member station funding comes from government sources. In total that would make about 31% * 13% = 4%.
That person was also a disorganized, ineffective baffoon on a good day with a staff more interested in court intrigues than governing. That massive government institutions operated outside of his will shouldn't be surprising.
They seem pretty good at writing back to people. Have you contacted them? It's normal for new accounts to get suspended pending KYC checks. But they also do the checks pretty fast.
I could not agree more. And that's coming from someone that converted to almost completely async/reactive/flux-y code. Reactive frameworks, almost by necessity, force developers to write less maintainable and readable code (objective fact, not an opinion). Lightweight threading is a significantly better approach to the same problem space.

Maybe you would stay connected that lone at say, a business lounge waiting for a plane.
I understand, but the root cause is allowing equality checks between different types. As a result of that decision you need cascading rules on what conversions take higher priority then others. Clearly php has decided that when a string goes through an equality check against another object, that integer conversion is placed above byte comparison
It's been a long time since I read The God Delusion, so my memory is hazy, but I read it after having read books like Nicholas Everitt's The Non-Existence of God and Michael Martin's Atheism: A Philosophical Justification, and I remember being disappointed with how comparatively weak Dawkins' treatment of the subject was. As LeroyRaz pointed out, these arguments are not new and a lot of back-and-forth has been (and is) happening, but from what I recall Dawkins only ever addressed weaker (layman's) versions of those arguments and it felt pretty obvious that he was writing about a subject far outside of his area of expertise

Whilst I admit that Musk is needlessly erratic, unpredictable and troll-like in these matters, part of me enjoys the pushback against legacy media on Twitter.

They've come into power by riding the Twitter hate train, maximally exploiting the algorithm that rewards rage and division. Lowering standards for journalism to a mere shadow of its former self. And yet they always have clean hands and are perfectly neutral, according to themselves.

Regardless of where you stand on this, it's interesting to watch. Journalists don't really have anywhere else to go. Their status and reach is exclusive to Twitter and cannot easily be replicated elsewhere.
They do? Unless you are referring to Fargate. EC2 Graviton does have spot pricing?
