No. Because the people that participated got their money out leaving the people that didn’t participate with nothing in their accounts. This happens because of fractional reserve banking.

Think about it. Assume we both have an account with $1 dollar in it, and the bank only has $1 on hand. Now I create a run where I take my dollar out, but you don’t participate. I have my dollar, and now you have nothing because the bank failed.

How are we the same?
I'm interested in this as well. Would love to collaborate.
It isn't a coincidence that most of these culture war topics gained prominence after the occupy movement.
When an aunt worked there, in the 1950s, there was a boat from National Airport or thereabouts for NRL employees from Virginia. The boat wasn't very nice. It was an open boat, and in rainy weather, a sheet of plywood served to shelter the commuters. They were always glad when the boat was out of service and an Air Force boat replaced it.

Parties are an inevitable feature of any representative democracy for the simple reason that MPs who pool their votes will consistently beat those who do not. Even council democracy - where the delegates vote according to instructions of their electorate and can be instantly recalled - is not immune to this.

I've followed a different path, but I've come to the same conclusion. Along my path, picking up languages like Haskell or Node early on meant using Linux. So since high school I've always had _a_ Linux machine available, but preferred to use Windows as the user interface.

Two thing I can say for any naysayers who use a Mac and do devops, backend development etc.:

1. Are you sure your environment that matches your deployment environment? Do you have confidence your server code runs the same on an Apple Silicon Mac as the (very likely) x86-64 and Linux environment your users use?

2. Have you ever noticed how shell scripts on Mac often... don't work the same on Linux? The way to fix that is of course use Homebrew, and, while brew has gotten leagues better, the quality pales in comparison to even Debian testing, Ubuntu main, or Arch and others.

As a devops engineer for many years, #2 was death by a thousand cuts. If I could, I'd have replaced every Mac user's userland with GNU coreutils from brew without their permission.

To square the circle of preferring Linux systems and Windows' UI, I've done just about every approach you can imagine to make that work, from syncing folders via rsync, to ssh or nfs mounted filesystems. I've used Virtualbox and VMWare and Hyper-V to locally run the Linux environment. There have been a few different X window managers and remote desktop tools, but none of them have been great.

WSL1 is where things really began to turn around - what an interesting project to make the NT kernel work as a Linux kernel. It didn't quite pan out, but that was OK.

WSL2 made major changes to how WSL worked, and now I can now run Kubernetes, Docker, 3d applications, machine learning (stable diffusion), have a real Linux shell and userland.

WSL2 is a true game changer for quality of Linux development on Windows. Being able to `docker run` Stable Diffusion or Llama or what-have-you is incredible.

I can imagine a PopOS - or another vendor-backed Linux OS - might persuade me eventually to shed Windows. In the meantime, I don't feel like I'm making any compromises.

>Most new Python projects are still about AI

Are there any that allow a user to run an LLM with GPT-3-ish capabilities on a single pc w/ <= 4GB GPU Ram in a reasonable amount of time?

Where "reasonable" is something like no more than a few minutes to get the output. A little longer wouldn't be too bad either since you could script something that submits prompts automatically and let things run in the background or something.

Trying to search for such a thing-- if it exists-- is nearly impossible right now with so much being done & talked about. Some content talks about running something on only 16GB GPU ram (!!!) which is far beyond many discrete cards. a 3080 has up to 16, some only 8 (I think 16 is the max?) and fairly decent entry level+ cards top out at 4GB.

Any options out there?

> It's just the way language acquisition works. You learn the sounds you need and the rest are hard to acquire later in life.

As a point of interest, this is actually backwards. You're born recognizing all the sounds; what you learn is to ignore the difference between sounds that aren't distinct in your language.

You do keep that ability for the rest of your life, but it isn't helpful when you try to learn to recognize foreign sounds.
I haven't played since maxing and finishing my 200ms circa 2016, but at least at that point your meme was pretty true of the efficient skilling community. A surprising number of high-ehp players held down professional jobs while legitimately competing with the NEETs for highscore ranks by pushing the envelope on high efficiency skilling methods like tick fishing. Iirc, a number of fairly prominent skillers like autumn elegy, mazhar, gingbino and other hexis people worked in tech.

> The powershell command names though

Just wondering if you're talking about command name length or something else?

Asking because it comes up a lot and almost all the common commands have idiomatic short/terse versions (gci for Get-ChildItem, etc).

No shade, though. No reason you'd know if you don't have a reason to know it.

Would love to hear if I'm making the wrong assumption and it's something else you're talking about. I personally really love powershell, but also get why people love bash. I'm still pretty comfortable with bash because I work in *nix systems mostly, so it makes sense for me to know it, whereas the reverse (with ps) isn't really true for most devs
Very nice, but we were talking about whether google silently drops emails or not.

They do: the test emails were never rejected, but never arrived in the test gmail account either. Not in spam, not in all mail, not in the inbox.
There might be something wrong with your device if it kept closing Termux due to RAM.

Up until 1 month ago, I used my Galaxy S7 as my phone and I ran navidrome inside Linux (AnLinux) inside Termux and it didn't close automatically.

I now do the same with a Galaxy S10e as the already semi-broken S7 decided to call it quits.
> > even putting #!/bin/python3 at the head of a script so that it runs through the shell.

Uh, not, in that case the shell is not involved at all. The kernel implements shebang and will automatically start the interpreter, whatever it is, without having to go through the shell.

This is not a serious constraint on deficit reduction.
Mac OS switched to zsh a couple releases ago due to bash being GPL 3 so the shell isn’t old anymore and installing bash is as easy as brew install bash.
Ideological subversion has been happening since the Frankfurt school fled to the US: “critical theories” festered in academia for generations until they could permeate and rot society.

Social media, however, accelerated that by allowing individual manipulation of vulnerable young people with that messaging by both foreign adversaries and subverted citizens. Boosted by things like economic warfare, where China funds these radical groups and promotes their agendas.
What caused them to opt out in this way? I would imagine it wasn't driven by developments like the one described in the article, since this is pretty uncommon.

If your kids don't end up going to college, wouldn't it actually be good if there were more jobs open to them?
Everything in the US is designed to feed you the exact frame of mind that you are reflecting.

Which aside from entertainment messaging and your educational curriculum, should be obvious by the fact that its largely the marginal social tier that thinks as you do.

To see the edge of the actual discussion: think about the dissonance of a worldview that simultaneously sees the nation's problems to be inherent in enforced hierarchy as mediated by the government, as you state, and the solution to that problem being the same government's enforcement of taxation.

There's only room for one of those views in anyone's mind. They cannot logically exist simultaneously. The government will never be simultaneously a marauder and a beneficent tax collector. And nothing changes its stripes.

Culture war topics aren't intended to distract from any of the things that you mention. Your list is a litany of topics barely adjacent to the culture war.

The culture war is about legal control of people whose natural habits and views would otherwise preclude it. When control has reached its limit working through the channel of temptation, then the only avenue left is the one that legally forces norms that are so distasteful to the natural senses that they oppress most normal people.
This reminds me of the 1st electronics company I worked at. We didn't have any ESD equipment, so I built a circuit which took power from a wall socket and pumped the voltage up to 2kV using diodes and caps, and sent that through a simple human body mode resistor/cap (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human-body_model) to do ESD testing. It worked well enough for the simple testing that we did, and was successful at finding weaknesses of our PCB layout for static protection.
Yeah. Reading the 3-pipe solution in bash versus 4-pipe solution in Powershell felt like it was verging on parody. Yes, these object-oriented features are nice - but they're something of a self-imposed problem on an OS that's designed like a database. Even the tools we use to parse JSON in bash aren't all that bad, if you can keep yourself grounded in the world of text processing.

I'm glad that the OP has a workflow that they like, but I'm not really convinced the grass is greener on the other side. I've used a lot of shells, Powershell doesn't really wow me that much anymore.

That's not true.

Just to corroborate from the opposite direction, I have run exclusively Linux on my personal machines for nearly a decade, and I started a new job where I get to use PowerShell, and it's really amazing, the amount of grep/tail/head (or Get-ChildItem/Select -First/-Last) I have to do is so much less, it feels so much less klunky. Probably the only thing I don't like more so far is Get-Help, because it doesnt put you into a pager with search, it just dumps to text. EDIT: apparently I need Help not Get-Help for paging
EDIT2: and I hate that PowerShell doesn't support readline/emacs keybindings
> and the bank only has $1 on hand

Well, that's not the truth either. The bank is holding onto 30Y mortgages / 30Y Treasuries that will be worth $2 in the year 2050, but is only worth $1.4 (fair market value) right now.

This loan was good 2 years ago (ie: its fair-market value was $2) in the year 2021. But the Fed rate-hikes have caused the loan's value to collapse, and so here we are.

You withdraw $1, the bank doesn't want to sell the bonds because it'd lock in the loss. The Fed provides a loan at the full principle of the bond (so the Fed now backstops the missing money). The Fed is now acting as the bank of last resort, providing $2 of true dollars to backstop the $1.4 (fair market value) of the bond, which will truly become $2 by the year 2050. The Fed will exist that long so everything should be kosher, in theory.

Or so goes the story one month ago. Why didn't this work? Why is FRC still collapsing despite these loans from the Fed?

----------

Believe it or not, life is a bit more complicated than just "fractional reserve banking". You're missing a huge part of the story if that's all your mind is open to. I'm not claiming to have all the answers, but I think it would behoove you to at least try to understand the current situation with a bit more nuance.

this was actually a pretty serious nostalgic moment as it happened to also be the same model as my first webcam

...and that "eyeball on a stand" form-factor also became the de-facto one for a webcam (just image search "webcam icon"), so it is also historically significant from that perspective.

This is almost like the inverse of some efforts in the retrocomputing community, which involve writing drivers to allow new hardware to work with old OSs, among them Windows XP and the 9x series.

But I think the most frustrating reason to have to get rid of something is that drivers stop being made for devices.

...and they have a similar mindset: if there are no drivers, then let's write some.

On the topic of this particular camera, a little bit of searching shows some more information from a 23-year-old page:

http://www.geocities.ws/qcexpress/quickcam.html

...through which we get a hint that you can download the datasheet for the PB-0100 sensor from Photobit's site; although it is long gone, archive.org has saved some pieces:

https://web.archive.org/web/20001018065459/http://www.photob...

Sadly, the datasheets themselves weren't saved. I could find some for their later, larger sensors, but unfortunately not this one (although it may be out there, the increasing uselessness of search engines is a huge impediment --- and I do think that such destruction of access to historical information may in fact be deliberate.)
I still think the Skynet scenario is hobgoblins of the imaginative mind.

More than likely, new forms of narrow AI will eat and destroy the vast majority white-collar jobs. This is most likely to end in mass unemployment, even more extreme income inequality, and a dystopian world run by a few trillionaires who challenge, if not replace, the power structures of governments.
I've used python for graphviz just because I wanted some looping for many-to-one or one-to-many relationships and the auto-complete that comes from anything with an LSP or Python mode.

Honestly I'd use it just for the auto-complete.

(Admittedly, I didn't look too hard for dedicated editing environments that could do it for DOT files specifically. I just wanted to make something real quick.)

That was the precondition for the two worldwars in germany. Lots of "farmhands" with food and shelter, nothing to be proud of, no future, no family, so they got there whole pride from nationalism and race, and the farm owners talked themselves into believing they were basically nobility.

Then the whole situation spiraled out of hand, because everything was better then socialism. Turns out in the end, it was not.

Blockades used against "rival" empires made drastic measures rationalizable, like for example mass murdering populations to provide for your own population, that could not be fed without oil imports aka fertilizers. This whole madness we today remember, started out rational.

I thought we already went down this road and remembered were it leads.

WSL2 resolves these issues by creating a virtual disk instead of sharing the ntfs partition with Windows. Frankly though the fact that I had to type that sentence out is ridiculous.

A bank cannot afford to loose half of its capital base without creating a panic. I'd rather not think what a market scare on BoA would look like.
> No where else can you "get away with" saying something that you couldn't elsewhere, and suffer absolutely 0 consequences for voicing actually controversial opinions.

I'm not sure you fully understand the issue. 4chan is nothing special, let alone remarkable, with regards to "getting away with" saying something. It's just a popular spot and the only one you know. I assure you that there are a myriad of forums and chatrooms all around the web that have the same sort of contents and even worse, being exchanged. The key difference is that 4chan is the mainstream, generalist forum, and a huge one at that with millions of unique monthly visitors.

Claiming that 4chan is unique in it's content reads like claiming that Pepsi is a small unknown soda brand that is almost secret.
I saw this while looking through this thread and I just wanted to say you're not alone.

In my free time I play videogames mostly. I dream of making them myself, but I never have. And I generally don't do cool tech projects like this for myself either.

If you're under the insurance limit of $250k per type of account and not fine, the whole world will find ourselves with some much larger problems to solve.

That's the goal of every diversion. Sports fans really care about their teams too (in some cases to the point of mass hysteria, or beating other people over them).

>but the ordering of political priorities is basically subjective and nobody needs share anyone else's.

Not so subjective, since conveniently almost everybody ends up sharing the ordering of one of the two sides they are conditioned to chose among.

That's like saying "fashion is subjective" and then seeing 90% of the people wearing the same shit for the season, "mysteriously" the very thing promoted in fashion magazines and celebrity videos and advertised to death 24/7.
It's just a knee-jerk reaction people have in any thread where powershell is mentioned. "Hur hur long command names." Doesn't bring anything to the discussion.

I'm sure there's some truth to this but, working at a particular FAANG that seems to embrace and reward complexity, that's a far worse situation. The tools are often infinitely capable with numerous configuration options but the only way you'll figure out how to make it do what you want is by doing a code review of it an the entire stack of things it's built on.
There's a natural contradiction between security and privacy.

For security, an actor needs to be tested and marked as secure, or else tested again before every interaction.

For privacy, an actor must not be marked, lest observers could correlate several interactions and make conclusions undesirable for the actor.
