To me it would be really suprising if previous millennium would not would not have been more diverse. Of course we have only seen <5% of this millenium so maybe its early to say? But the trend is not looking great.
DEI will never get rid of racism because that is not in its economic and social interest. It will just never happen. On the contrary, I expect it to inflame racial tensions and gladly profit of it.

There is a reason universal humanism has certain values and people that believe DEI to be a better solution are delirious in my opinion.

Are you saying that after all these years of omitting robots.txt from my public personal website of priceless blog posts and code repositories, I can take Google and Microsoft to court for scraping, linking to, and reproducing what I deem as substantial portions? They've violated my rights! They didn't have permission!

In all seriousness, that's total shit. It's publicly accessible. That's the permission. There have been different cases like weev where the judge has viewed it differently because of specific details like carrying out the action of enumeration, or guessing IDs, to reveal non-public information, but that had to do with the CFAA.

If you reproduce content in total in another work, resell, etc., that's another thing.
I understand why you said it. It just seems that the general atmosphere of the internet is that of self-censorship and fear. It just doesn't sit well with me.

The intolerance of different views is driving the hostile and divisive atmosphere in the social media.

Let's say there's a person who's really anti-climate change. How is that person supposed to change their mind, if they get attacked every time they voice their opinions, instead of being approached in a civil manner? People can't be bullied people into agreement, only silenced and driven further away into their own echo chamber, at which point you lose any chance you had of ever changing their minds.

If it were an outlier event, sure. But his entire motive seems to be to deceive; he's pathologically disingenuous. He has not earned the benefit of the doubt.
I feel the same about Forbes, but I really like this author. I think it hurts his credibility to publish his content there.
> The author doesn't seem to realize that it's not necessary for Mastodon to reach the same scale as Twitter or Facebook. We might be headed for a more pluralistic future, with a large chunk of people on Mastodon, another big community on Bluesky, etc.

I don’t think people want that. I mean some people, sure. But the network effect is real and I think the market will always demand one audience.

Keep in mind this doesn’t mean it has to be centralized. It could be decentralized but connected. Isn’t that kinda what Bluesky or Mastadon are shooting for? Decentralized but interoperable?

As someone who was using GeForce during the pandemic it is a great service but janky is an understatement. There are a huge number of common "edge" cases I've run into: getting long passwords into games, passing mac keyboard commands to essentially windows buttons, etc. Still, it is AMAZING being able to play any game anywhere. But I'm not sure if the market for these products were/are big enough for so many players so pretty much everyone has dropped out.
> We're all so steeped in the recent past of monolithic centralized social media platforms, but if we peek over our recency bias, we can see that it wasn't always that way.

It wasn't always that way, but it nearly always ends up that way. Reason being the Internet makes it extremely easy to discover new services, and switching costs are relatively low. So this leads to the "winner take all (or nearly all)" dynamics that are so prevalent on the web - a service only needs to be slightly better than it's competitors to win.

People talk about the concentration of big Internet projects and companies as if it were imposed from on high. The exact opposite happened: people flocked to the services they found to be the best, and told their friends about them.

I might be misunderstanding here but if you make a status with a photo, it doesn't attach the literal bytes of the photo but the URL to your local copy of the photo which may, admittedly, by fetched 1000 times by those instances if someone on each of those instances looks at it.

Bit of a weird post.

"All of the 3rd party integrations are happening with ActivityPub, not Mastodon."

That right there is the solution to most of the author's complaints!

I for one would be completely satisfied with this outcome: I don't care about Mastodon, I care about the Fediverse concept generally.

Mainly I want a way of publishing and consuming short-form content that's immune from being bought and ruined by a capricious billionaire.
The main part that may be missing is a flame deflector, a kind of inverted 'v' structure that would redirect the momentum of the exhaust to the sides (where a horizontal concrete slab might redirect it back up to the vehicle). With the vehicle up on the OLM you could maybe also make the deflector 3 dimensional and build a sort of inverted cone. Spreading exhaust in all directions could disperse the energy more quickly, although I'm not sure if you want to necessarily redirect exhaust toward, say, the tower base or the tank farm.

If they add both a trench and a deflector that gives them some degree of control of where the exhaust goes once it leaves the underside of the rocket, so you could lead it away from critical pad infrastructure and direct it out to some empty area to disperse. Obviously all that requires quite a bit of space, which they might not have available.
Quality ideas don’t come up on demand. They come sporadically over time, so it’s best to have a system to capture these ideas. I capture my ideas using Drafts on Apple Watch or phone if I’m not on my computer and eventually move them to Roam where I have a super flexible tagging system to keep them organized. I do this for insights and lessons learned as well.

To generate ideas on demand (for example if I want to come up with questions for my next podcast guest, I’ll go for a walk and jot down notes on my phone as I’m walking. My brain works best when walking.)

There is a slowly growing awareness in the public that eating meat is unnecessary for good health, perhaps even a negative. The strain on the environment for meat farming and transportation is massive so I am all for having plant-based options which fulfill and satisfy any need for animal products. If mushroom or plant leather turns out to be better, like cheaper or more durable etc., then there will be much less demand for traditional leather and the price for milk and beef will increase and make alternatives all the more attractive.

I’m a vegan and this sort of stuff is a total win.
The moment I read the first sentence I immediately knew it was produced by ChatGPT.
While using containers is common and well-understood, containers within containers are not. It's novel enough to warrant this blog post on how to do it!

If all you want is resource constraints on your spawned processes, it's easier and more common to just use cgroups. It's straightforward and you should have a working understanding of cgroups anyway if you want to be effective at using containers, which are built on top of cgroups.

Cgroups are really easy to use and I feel like people aren't bothering to learn about it. :(
It's something that's always struck me as prime ground for regulation when the contentious topic of Apple's control over their platform comes up. One of the most often repeated points from Apple customers is the ease of use and trust they have in Apple's payment and cancellation system that all apps are forced to go through and how much they'd hate to lose it.

There is an obvious failure here, we shouldn't rely on companies to force other companies to undertake obviously good, pro-consumer behaviour.
I talk to my close friends by text, discord, and steam chat. I talk to my coworkers by LinkedIn and slack. I talk to my family by phone, email, and text. Some are on signal some are not.

Fun to see this posted on a pretty niche but very active site which covers probably a small proportion of your social circle.
The appeal of a federated platform is that it's decentralized without being siloed. If Bluesky decides it's in their interest, they could probably figure out some way to federate with Mastodon.
I have this setup as well for the past 4 years and I always worry about the GP's problem popping up, but it hasn't yet. I am also very curious.
Yes but the deal only lasts 10 years, and there's been a hold up, even after a couple of months the games are still not on it. Presumably this is because MS want the games on their windows store instead of being buyable through Steam which is already integrated with GFN. It seems problematic.
That's not a given. A woman with a BSc may come from a very similar background as a carpenter or electrician, but may reject him simply because she feels that her degree proves that she deserves better than that.
> I make a hobby of defeating them at friends' houses. Takes a few minutes.

Fair and good warning, but I'm curious, how long would it take you to pick my front door lock instead? Are you saying those lockboxes are significantly easier to defeat than a standard front door lock? (I am genuinely curious! I imagine it could depend on both the particular brand/model of lockbox and door lock!)

(Plus I have bars on some basement and first-floor windows in places that aren't easily seen from the street so seem especially vulnerable, but not on all my windows, someone could always break a window instead. I do not live in a secure military facility).

> You're literally describing the way forums, messageboards, mailing lists and everything worked before Twitter and Facebook came along

Yes. And while the GP was hyberbolic, I think what we saw is that a large %age of people preferred one stop shopping.

Speaking for myself, the thing I love(d) the most about Twitter was the consolidation. It effectively replaced a bunch of message boards, online sites, and other things I would check throughout the day. One site gave me banter with friends, talking shop with professional acquaintances, weather, news, gossip, etc.
Many people want just that, but there is likely no overlap between them and someone following celebrities on social media.
That would be really helpful because taken out of context, single words translated to English will often produce very confusing results. My suggestion would be to ditch the google links and provide a properly translated version that is revealed when hovering over a word/phrase. Such a translation could be crowd sourced.
Maybe the council environment is different, but I generally feel Microsoft has more often killed the PC game franchises that they have acquired, hurting innovation and choice.

The last 2 fallout games I can recall are a phone game and an MMO... And it took people bailing from the company (instead of the company supporting the initiative) to get Outer Worlds, which is the closest thing to Fallout. And then there's Skyrim... It's like MS acquires the intellectual property then goes DLC and/or MMO only.

I don't think many games that I loved for PC survived any acquisition.. at least before Blizzard (so far)
It feels really hard to pull apart that those who would get a degree are probably folks who'd push themselves higher up market anyways.

Going to college is a self-selection towards achievement. Of course those who self select towards elite achievement will do better. I don't think we can, but if we could ask this question of are self selecters - college or no - making more money, I don't think college would be as clear a win. But it's near impossible to split up & categorize the non-college bound would be elite achievers from the rest of non-college bound.

Also college is just so the default path...
Additionally, I've found that they're a bit less risqué than Western productions and that creates broad appeal.

Crash Landing on You was a heartwarming (and cheesy) story told in a very "PG" way. It not only appealed to me, my wife, and our friends, it appealed to my modest Indian in-laws.
> what about causality?

A bunch of researchers have asked that question and tried to answer it the best they can, by using statistical methods to discount for things like high family income, race, family history of college attendance.

From what I’ve seen (and I’ll try to dig up links in a minute if I can) papers often conclude that the causality is definitely not 100% responsible for the income difference between grads and non-grads, but they also generally find the number is much higher than 0% too. It’s somewhere in the middle.

It’s not really a stretch to suggest that something happens during college, right? People do learn things when they spend their time learning, and we have plenty of data to show that people who get an elementary and secondary education are better off than people who get no education… or take it a step further and look at basic literacy. Why is it hard to believe there’s value in college when it’s not hard to believe that literacy and pre-college education has value?

> consider not going to college and achieving great things without burning 4-5 years of opportunity cost

While that can be true for a few naturally motivated and smart (or lucky) people, the aggregate stats don’t really support that view. Most people end up better off going to school, and opening the door to the many higher paying jobs that require a degree.

* edit: here’s an example: https://www.stlouisfed.org/-/media/project/frbstl/stlouisfed...

See “Section III: “The True (Causal) Return on a College Education: Evidence from the 2016 SCF”

The conclusion: “In order to examine the effect of these variables in accounting for some of the relationship between education, income and wealth, we utilized multiple regression. All variables, including age variables, own education, parents’ education, and financial acumen, were regressed onto income and wealth. This model was compared to the simple model of only lifecycle and own education. Results are in Tables 6 and 7. (See Tables B1-B6 for black, Hispanic and other race results).

“Clearly, parents’ education and financial acumen were important variables previously omitted in estimations of the college and post-graduate premiums (see Table 8). Together, these variables reduced the income premium by 32 percent for white terminal bachelor’s degree holders and by 29 percent for white postgraduate degree holders. The reductions of the wealth premium were even starker, with this premium being reduced by over half for graduates and postgraduates (54.4 percent and 60.4 percent, respectively).”
You do if you want day and date releases. And Amazon bought MGM and Netflix pays for exclusives regularly.

The video game space has always been about exclusives. Nintendo publishes no where else. Sony just started to publish on PC for some games. What is the difference?
I don't agree with you at all. I don't even know what ugly thing you are trying to say about the three people you named.

If you look for someone to blame, you will find someone to blame. But that someone may be a scapegoat.

The US legal system is based on an assumption of innocence. I find it personally useful to try to assess history from an assumption of innocence.

Many phenomenon are emergent phenomenon that cannot be blamed on any one thing.

If I think someone is actually guilty of something in specific, I have no problem saying that. I just don't find an assumption of guilt useful in the general case for parsing how to do this better.

Adam Curtis’ “All Watched over by Machines of Loving Grace” theorized that that emerging chaotic state mixed with our recent technological emergence has lead us to believe we can “contain the chaos” of this highly sophisticated system. He quite amazingly illustrates over 3 hours that we falsely believe that earth is an unchanging systematic snow globe rather than a chaotic system. And the more we try to control it, the more we sort of build up larger and more chaotic outcomes.

There is no natural state as defined by hyper static equilibrium. Only brief moments where we purport to control it — building up a chaotic momentum beneath it.
Interesting to see where wind farms look like they're underperforming; i.e. where wind farms in high wind seem to be producing a lower percentage of their theoretical output than others in low wind areas.

Is that a problem with the data accuracy, or is that reflective of the real-world situation (e.g. misalignment of the turbines against the wind)?

That’s a very long post to say “I don’t understand.”

The argument is very simple, Amazon – like other platform businesses – externalizes its costs onto its suppliers by raising suppliers costs it raises the costs consumers pay.

You can agree or disagree with that argument, but it’s not very complicated.
Are you aware of what's available on the thing you're posting this comment through? You can't even make a book with content close to as graphic as what's available here. The kids are fine, it's the fascist adults we need to be concerned about.
I was mildly interested in the article based on the title, because the right to repair is imho necessary in many areas of life. But I am most definitely not interested enough to do the trivial work to bypass the " This content is not available in your country/region." message.

If you can't figure out how to serve your content to users without extreme tracking (at least I assume that the reason for this message is the consumer protection found in the EU), then your content can't be that important.

Hang on the main complaint in this article is that Tesla is providing some road safety statistics that to a normie look surprisingly good, but which on closer inspection rely on comparisons that are statistically misleading and involve some biases should have been controlled for.

You've not really engaged with that and have instead

- speculated that the author is spreading FUD because they're short Tesla

- decided that the report is wrong because it was written on a Forbes platform you say is for crypto scams

- elsewhere used anecdata to refute it - "I own one myself and know several people who have gotten one more recently and they all love them and have had zero issues"

With all due respect ... this is fanboi behaviour.
You're right about the pueblos specifically. They're still extant mostly because the climate is so dry there.

Something like granite would be a much more long-lived structural material in wetter climates. Indeed that's the primary stone used in, say, Machu Picchu.

I never said langchain "removes the value of learning to write prompts". My point is it abstracts it out enough that not everyone working with LLMs will need to know how to do it at a very high level. Just like most programmers can't write assembly/C, but we have tools which abstract it out so that experts can write/generate it for us. I don't know about SQL and ORM to respond to your analogy.
