Good faith that maybe they fixed it this time, and that even a multi-national company doesn’t have the stones to bold face lie to a government, when they’re under scrutiny for past deception.

Without some level of good faith, there’s no path back for organisations. The only acceptable form of remediation would be dissolving the company entirely, which huge impacts on many people.

Certainly past regulation has been a little toothless. But laws like GDPR with their maximum set as a percentage of global revenue show that governments are catching up. Those fines can be large enough to inflict real pain and damage to corporations that repeatedly misbehave.

Just wondering aloud: once a region has a number of villages with these services going well, perhaps a low bandwidth mesh network between them would allow a slow messaging service like email to exist?
Ah yes, American bashing. I won't go into the psychology behind it because I don't want to insult your background or whatever country you may be from.

By calling it a penchant, you make it sound like Americans choose these things. Most of us are held hostage by capitalist interests. Right now, it's much cheaper to eat processed foods than it is to make a similar meal from whole foods. Also, most of our towns over here in the New World were built with cars in mind. It's not generally feasible to walk places unless you live in a large city. Most people don't have 2+ hours to make a walking trip to the grocery store 5 miles away.
Not trivial, but not beyond the realm of possibility either.
About a side point that the author makes:

“We’re not going to talk much about staff, but briefly we can divide them quickly into four big groups: leadership (chancellors, deans, and assistant deans of various kinds; of old these used to be professors pulled into leadership temporarily but these days these are professional managers)....”

I retired a month ago from a tenured faculty position at a public university in Japan, and I was often struck by the difference between how that university is run and the above characteristic of leadership at North American universities. At my university, and I believe at most Japanese universities, nearly everyone from the assistant deans all the way up to the university president is a professor with decades of experience in the classroom and doing research. All of the important posts, including department chairs, deans, and the university president, are elected by and from among the tenured faculty—“professors pulled into leadership,” as the author says.

I became aware of that difference in leadership structure when I met people at American universities to discuss education programs. While all of the important decisions about our education programs were made by faculty, the Americans I met who were serving in similar roles were usually professional administrators. They were probably more competent as administrators than I and my colleagues were (“amateur professors who’d rather not have been asked,” as the author says in a footnote), but I think our experience as teachers and researchers gave us an advantage when planning and running education programs.
Interesting, but the application would be weird, the physician would diagnose you then read out a automated AI generated text to speech to the patient?
Look into a suspension design like Thorens or AR. You can stomp on the floor, strike the platform supporting the turntable with a hammer, etc and it won't skip.
The mixes are optimized to a different set of constraints. (Or they should be, chances are much of the collectibles for modern music are just bad vinyl pressings of the mix for digital.) It's not "more careful mixes", the digital one will likely have seen just as much care or more, but the analog one can strike compromises between dynamics and minor distortion that the digital simply can't. Because all digital distortion is major distortion and avoided at all costs. That's why the mix for digital usually throws far more dynamics under the bus to achieve loudness than the mix for analog.

A CD version of the vinyl mix would sound great, but you'd be surprised how silent it is if you leave your amp at the usual setting.
Digitizer was still functional perhaps
The author says they only have worked in the American system. Having worked in the USA, Japan, and Europe in academia I find that American academics don't typically know the system in America isn't the same everywhere else.
That seems cool, but I'm looking for something that would be totally transparent to connected devices (i.e. wouldn't require reconfiguring them at all).
You see it as lazy and uninformed, I see it as a barrier to entry enforced by a near monopoly.
It would be great if it had some "snail mail" like features: collect "sent" emails and "posted" posts, and synchronize them with real internet on regular intervals, probably on monthly basis.

You could say the same about many SaaS projects. Why pay for an expensive GPU upfront and then some guy who can install it, configure it, create some sort of interface for you to talk to it... when you can just pay openai to do it for less money?

> inflation is either from excess demand or constrained supply

Inflation is always about the balance between supply and demand

> the reasons for inflation matter when trying to address the problem

Less than one might think based on the either or thinking. Even when a change in supply causes inflation, reducing the demand side will bring it back down.

The exception being for specific items where demand is not very elastic in the short term, such as fuel or basic food items.

But even increasing interest rates (a demand side intervention) may not affect those prices by much, it will affect other prices enough that aggregate demand can stay low.
But do they have moat? Or could the existing big tech companies enter the same market and offer the similar enough product? It is not like Amazon, Google, Microsoft and maybe even Facebook don't have enough money to throw at it and sell something.
It's a physical process/ritual that a number of people still do and reinforce among each other. It's fine to call it what it is, and it's fine that it makes you feel more connected to the music. But it ain't the music.
It is making money now. The really big difference with respect to all the other search engines, cat pictures websites, etc. is that the current users expect to pay and pay to have access to the API.

This is for me the key difference between something like Google Search and OpenAI/ChatGPT, from the start, people are paying to get answers to their questions.
"Spotify has been stripped of all uniqueness and identity in all but the sound itself."

There is at least the cover picture left, but yes, I would not recommend Spotify for mindful listening. It is designed for "engagement", I still have not found out, how to tell it to stop, after that one song I want to hear.

It insists on playing something else. Very rarely something interesting shows up, but usually I just get annoyed for it playing radio, when I wanted ONE song, nothing more.

So I love my own digital music collection and player that remains under my control.
I have a shuffle there as well, but conscious listening remains possible, even though surely the experience would be more powerful, combined with the ritual of going through the physical records, holding the artwork in my hands and putting the one record in. But for convinience, I stick to my digital collection. (I don't think all my music is on vinyl and I would need extra rooms then)
0 for 0.0.0.0 is useful too. I often do things like ping 0 or ssh 0 (perhaps with a different port number) to ssh into localhost.

0 expands to "0.0.0.0" and can be used in place of localhost in many situations. (https://serverfault.com/questions/876698/whats-the-differenc...)
Nadella has been pushing AI at the WEF to gullible EU politicians. Maybe someone like von der Leyen had a word with the current Italian government, which has caved on other issues as well.

Justin, I don't know who you are but I’m so glad you are there. Ive be bombarded with tax the rich posts on a variety of my news outlets and theres always this echo chamber of supporters who are incapable of understanding that taxes just end up bloating the inefficiency of governments. If we really are about taking wealthy folks money, we are much better off if that capital enters the economy without government clipping the ticket.

Here is Elon Musks 1 billion dollars in taxes. With his 1 billion dollars we can fund a wide ranging web of wasteful bureaucrats, or we can let Elon use his 1 billion to fund a capital project that generates jobs, technological advances, and builds a product that can be exported worldwide so that there is a positive impact on GDP. I prefer 1 billion of Elon capital projects over 1 billion of government programmes Every. Day. Of. The. Year.
Pretty sure the market share of usb-c Displays is still very low. Also, most people (source needed) use laptops nowadays.
That actually sounds closer to Austrian concepts of inflation than MMT. Reducing the money supply in itself doesn't affect consumer prices, if it only affects money that was not in circulation anyway.

In order to use taxes to counter inflation (when it is defined as increas in consumer prices), you need to tax those who would otherwise spend most of the money. The most efficient way is to tax the upper middle class.
Oh no! Your poor fingers and eyes needing to scroll a little.
Yes, that’s me!
The author is no stranger to reading and research about matters considerably more complex than the nature of tertiary educational organisation worldwide and has an extensive readership outside the USA.

From the article:

"India continues to struggle with high youth unemployment and less than 50% of working-age Indians are in the workforce. The figure for women is even lower, with just 20% of women participating in the formal labour market, a figure that is decreasing as India develops."

The one-child policy of China was draconian but it solved that problem.

Forgive my ignorance: I thought it was the other way around, and you needed some relatively high amount of compression on a vinyl master, since otherwise the grooves would swing too wildly, and the needle would have a higher chance of "skipping". Is this an incorrect understanding of mine?
MS Live Messenger used to have a feature where you could set certain contacts to auto-accept. When my SO and I were doing the long distance thing, that was our lifeline.
Protected designation of origin is both the worst and the best innovation of the European Union. On the one side, it allows me to easily discern if for example a bottle of olive oil is probably going to be decent without having to do research or falling prey to fancy marketing. Obviously it's great that these local industries are protected and they are motivated to retain extraordinary quality so people keep picking them over non-PDO products.

On the other hand.. it's blocking access to feta cheese to all of Europe. Feta cheese only keeps for maybe a day and there's no efficient way to get it from Greece to European supermarkets before it's turned. Now that we finally have super fresh food in our supermarkets, feta cheese stands out in that it's simply impossible to get fresh outside of Greece.
Some sites I have already visited keep popping them up. And I'm on public IP that should have been associated with my computer for a while...

Maybe it is just per use case. Or they think I'm a bot as I keep looking at sites every couple hours... Which might be actually common with these sites.
I meant MVCC is the proof that you can automate the transform of a schema into a versioned schema. How and if the DBMS exposes that is another concern.

The garbage collection / VACUUM part of an MVCC system is the harder part, saving all versions and querying a point in time is the easy one.
> I have no idea how blocking TLDs of entire countries with hundreds of millions of citizens can be considered a valid anti-spam advice.

It is very different if you offer it as a service to other people, or if you do it for yourself.

If you are doing it for yourself you know if you expect emails from country X or not. And if things change and suddenly you have a pen pal from there you can change your filters easily. So you can live with such simplifying assumptions.

If you are providing email services to masses of other people then you can’t make these assumptions of course. You have to use more sophisticated means then.
It seems you agree with me, I do not understand. Wrong thread maybe you replied to?
I definitely do this. I miss having a physical manifestation of my music and so I've bought a bunch of my favorite albums on vinyl and mounted them in my office. The vinyl albums are much bigger and have much more of a presence (than say a cd) and generally have more artwork etc. I can always play the music digitally so it's not actually about the playing of the music.
I believe people using laptops at home are the ones with USB-C monitors :)
Last year my Samsung S20+ suffered the notorious "green vertical lines" and then soon after the "white out screens" (a pandemic-level hardware failure wave that has been widely reported), rendering it impossible to see clearly what is on the screen, even though everything else was still working.

Luckily because I was playing with scrcpy, I immediately knew it was my solution.

By using scrcpy to connect to a PC, I could still unlock the screen with my pattern or thumbprint, and when the app asks for passwords it is still possible to use the onscreen keyboard.
You mean found NOT guilty.

Anyone notice how gobengo actively lied and misled (he bought SOME of FRC, a publicly traded entity) in his comment implying conspiratorial dealings?
It uses Preact other the hood which often has edge cases vs React and its ecosystem, which makes adoption harder.
Very nice! Pleasantly surprised to see the SBB logo <3
Actually, such local "internet in the box" as per the linked article might prove to be a basis for one such "anti-internet" solution: detach from the internet as a whole and enable local communication, resources and traffic only.

It's probably not directly useful for physicians except as a teaching aid, but I have a friend who runs a small local business and she sometimes finds it difficult dealing with problem customers when she's tired or upset. As she interacts with them mostly via WhatsApp (up until the point that they purchase), the idea of having a bot write the replies for her has been floated. The LLM has infinite patience.
What is the cheese that is called feta that I can find in super markets across Europe?
In practice the government will mis-interpret any theory and attempt to build a financial perpetual motion machine that revolves around printing money. Then everyone will feel very poor while being told they are rich.

Fairly similar to how at present they have done exactly the same thing and generally try to call it Keynesianism from what I can tell. They skipped the parts of Keynesianism that would involve spending less which I suspect is a contributor to the progression of 2000-2007-2023 where every 10 years the crisis gets bigger.

The situation is not that complex. We need people to, by and large, create at least as much value as they consume. There are enormous efforts to find an alternative to that basic balance by creating lots of money and they by and large aren't actually working.

Also the rich don't consume that much stuff in absolute terms, so taking stuff away from them can't help other people to an great extent. The taxing has to be on the middle class who do most of the consuming. There are no alternatives. Can't tax the poor because they have no money, and ironically can't tax "the rich" because although they nominally have money they don't own that much real stuff as a group.
While this is a nice overview (I wouldn't call it detailed), I feel it misses the points of REST, gRPC, and GraphQL. I think it's a more useful engineering decision to first filter based on how you want an API to be used, and then to filter based on the implementation details such as these.

The whole point of REST is that it's discoverable. Now web standards didn't quite manage to standardise HATEOAS, so sadly full machine discovery is unlikely via an API, but you can build quite adaptable clients that can respond to changing APIs well, going as far as optimising client usage by changing API responses without redeploying clients. That may or may not be something you want in an API, but it's worth considering, because it's not going to happen with gRPC.

GraphQL, like REST, is about the objects and relationships, and lends itself well to building highly capable client-side caching layers when you introduce the Relay patterns to it – particularly globally unique IDs. Given GraphQL's well defined schema it's relatively easy to build generic caching mechanisms. Again, this may or may not be something you want in an API.

gRPC doesn't really allow for any of this, if you want it you've got to invent it all yourself. But that might be ok! Server to server calls rarely need a big cache to work around poor networking. gRPC does however offer considerably more control over streaming behaviour, more standardised error handling than GraphQL, and more.

There are quite a few factual errors in this post, like REST not being schema based (that's up to the implementer), no streaming in REST (not necessarily true).

When deciding on an API technology the first questions must be "who is the consumer", and "what are their constraints". These will often lead to just one or two of the options here, then you can drill down into the details like tooling, API design, and so on.
Implicitly, the two signed integers are large enough to fit each other (they are the same size). I would not assume anything about organization in memory though.
x=a, y=b; look at arithmetic in pseudo-ops
x=a, y=(b-a); there will be an overflow here or after the negation step
x=a+(b-a)=b, y=(b-a);
x=b, y=(a-b); negate the unitary value could overflow (and set the carry bit)
x=b, y=(a-b)+b=a; oops, four operations and not as elegant as XORs can be. Or, the compiler would probably use a third register.
They didn't reverse engineer OpenAI's API, they reverse engineered random websites so you could spend their resources instead of your own.

That's a great reason for it to go somewhere.
The top 1% have 40% of wealth and pay 40% of taxes?

Sounds ideal to me.
It definitely is feta, but it's old. It's also definitely good, I don't think even Greek people would object to it. Obviously eating feta that's made the same morning you eat it isn't a feasible thing to always do. It's just not as good as fresh feta.
An alcoholic is someone who has one more drink than i do.
You probably would like to check out how unrealized capital gains work. When you're rich, your wealth doesn't come from "income" in the same way it does for 90% of us.

Yes. People think vinyl is for snobs (especially the silicon valley type) but they don’t seem to realize a) music went digial before the iphone (CDs) and b) most of them don‘t even know much music.

Releasing Systrap – A high-performance gVisor platform
The Hacker News consensus is that no one is doing anything. I used to believe this and despair. But that is _just not true_. I've subscribed to the Harvard C Change newsletter and it's really changed my perspective - past issues here: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/c-change/climateoptimist/

Just one highlight: the current has administration canceled three fossil fuel lease sales in 2022 due to a lack of industry interest In contrast, there are currently 18 active offshore wind leases with 14 new site assessment plans approved, including the scoping of the first wind energy areas in the Gulf of Mexico and Gulf of Maine.[0]

I also look at this daily, although it's more focussed on Europe: https://www.positive.news/

It's not all sunshine and roses. But the narrative should be: 'some humans, albeit perhaps the minority, are fighting save this planet, and are winning at least of their battles'. Maybe it will be too little too late. But the narrative is decidedly not 'existential threat to our species and others, and no one gives a shit'.

JS is dependencies all the way down. Upgrading things can be a nightmare
I built a starter template "create-rpc" [1] to help my freelancer friends to easily setup RPC API for Typescript projects.

The core is powered by meta-programming, aka code that further generates code.

It auto generate typed client SDK with named types for API input and output. And it comes with JWT integrated out of the box.

Compared to traditional untyped restful API over http, it helps developer to prototype and evolve the application with inferred type hint.

Upcoming improvement will be runtime type checking with cast.ts [2] or ts-type-check [3]

I always think "the number of reasons is infinite" is very snarky. I think he probably wants to extract some stats out of the answers. Maybe some reasons are more common than others. It's not a bad question.
I have this one. I did not use it for a long time but after I moved into it, the touchpad was very shaky. Once in a while the cursor jumped all over. I found I could disable it with an xinput disable command, but that was just a temporary relief. After research I came to the conclusion that it was a hardware problem, but as I found it after the warranty expired I could not return it.

There are descriptions on the interwebs how to solder a wire to better ground the touchpad so I did that. It improved it but it still goes bad once in a while.

Apart from that, I like it.
