Yeah, that seems like the low key "clever" part of the idea - instead of licensing the content, you are essentially just automating "directing the listener to play a track".

It at least makes some common sense that the service could just piggyback onto a user's existing personal license for music (ultimately, how is it different than the DJ saying "ok, now play Sound Chaser"?).

Does that make legal sense in a world where record labels have fancy lawyers? Idk.

I've seen components rewritten using observables to be sometimes a full 1/4 of the original size.

The biggest thing for me is the realization of the "source of truth". With observables, if they are set up correctly, you can see the exact bits of information that some resultant stream are dependent upon. Operations then can have a single action because all of those sources can be muxed together rather than having several calls throughout a component to doSomeAction().

One way is to train an AI on the entire collection of conversations every employee at Meta has had, and then after sufficient training ask the AI how it feels about this ban. It may then respond that it is furious!!! Thus we can determine the corporation is furious.

For some remote first companies that communicate primarily through platforms like Slack or email, this should be trivial to do.

It seems like a massive assumption to extrapolate the limitations of ChatGPT to the AGI of androids. ChatGPT neither lies (which requires intent) nor tells the truth (which requires knowledge) because it doesn't retain state, and cannot learn from the outside world beyond whatever is provided in a prompt stack.

One can assume an android in the hypothetical future with fully sentient AGI has a mind capable of retaining state and working senses, and thus is complex enough to be capable of willing deception.

Everyone is so angry in the comments about c adopting c++ traits. I do not see it that way. This is not the language standard this is just GCC. Clang and GCC have always had compiler specific features which could only be described as wizardry to a regular c user. GCC has always kept the c standard at arms length, clang is a bit better but using compiler specific features has always been reserved for mavericks. Conversely, C23 has some great additions, none that remind me of C++? [1]. I don't think the standards enthusiasts that hang out on #c in freenode would be happy to think this many people see c going in the direction of C++.

> But these super advanced aliens keep on getting spotted, so maybe they don't want to hide, or they're not that good at hiding? So maybe they don't have all that good technology?

But I addressed this by saying they're not getting spotted. This is an orthogonal discussion to the UFO discussion which started this thread. I think the vast majority of UFO sightings have a terrestrial explanation.
Simple means no advanced safety, comfort and other features, once software is involved it will never be tested enough especially at the price point cars are sold at.
> what hope will a historian have in a hundred years in understanding the truth of our time, given only a storm of past-due emotional clickbait?

Expanding on that thought: What hope do we have of understanding history a hundred years or longer ago? Right now today, with a huge amount of true information available for anybody who takes time to look a little, almost everybody around us is 100% propagandized and will believe the opposite tomorrow of what they believed yesterday if the TV tells them to.

Taking history as it is "taught" as any truth value is ridiculous, since we know that the rulers of each age have used history mostly as a tool for their own political goals. Even today, it is quite apparent that most historians go into the profession as political activists primarily and researchers secondarily, often having decided first what they want to "discover".

Strongly disagree. I'm a third party Nintendo developer and they do not just give out the Switch SDK to all devs like they did with 3DS/WiiU.

My understanding is that you must pitch an idea to corporate and get approval before they will ever let you see any tools or docs at all.

yeah so, nobody who worked at the factory as a poor worker ever moved up and learned about it and thought man I won't stand for this.

nobody who was affected by this was friends with whoever put the clock back.

the clock being put back was known by the town government, obviously in the pocket of the factory owners because factory town but still, lots of people knowing about something who do not directly benefit didn't let slip, nobody did anything.

even though factory town surely some non-factory owned small businesses in town, nobody noticed this patter.

The management and government of the the town were totally ok with getting up earlier than they had to and going to work longer than they needed to so that the workers didn't notice hey those guys get off work before I do - I realize factory worker may work longer than bosses but probably not that much if -

the company NEEDED to put the time back, because if it was long enough ago they didn't need to put time back because then you could say hey you will work 13 hours and like it.

During the gilded age you didn't need subterfuge to make people work too many hours in a day, you ordered them to, you would only need subterfuge during an age with worker protections.

With worker protections would you really try to do that.

How much time did the business gain? It should be significant to be worht the risk of doing it.

What part of the country was this, not one where it gets dark early in winter then I guess, or people would notice.

In short - extensive documentation required to believe it even though I don't trust any company not to do it if it really was to their benefit and if they could get away with it.

> no capitalist would pay for someone to do something useless

The issue here is definition of useful/useless. If you manage to market regular rocks as magical and convince people to pay a lot of money for them, a capitalist will gladly pay for everything from digging to shipping of those rocks.

From a common sense perspective that activity is useless because it's purely wasting resources with no useful effect.
From a capitalist perspective the activity is not useless as it brings profit.
Good points, but it aligns with Shell, for example, making a big deal about investing a few hundred thousand dollars in setting up solar power at one of their least productive refineries.

I'll tell you a personal anecdote about Shopify and why I dislike the company.

Back in 2019, I was contacted by Shopify for a job opportunity. After acing multiple remote interviews, their recruiter couldn't contain their excitement. They promised me an onsite interview to simply meet the team and potentially secure an offer.

Imagine my surprise when, after enduring a 15-hour economy class flight with barely any time to recover, I received a call from the recruiter. They casually informed me that the team had decided to put me through five grueling back-to-back interviews, including a whiteboard session and a pair programming assignment. Despite my lack of a laptop, they assured me one would be provided.

What followed was an unmitigated disaster. The first interview bombarded me with ecommerce questions, completely unrelated to my field of expertise. The pair programming session was a nightmare, as I was handed a barely functional laptop that delayed the start by 20 minutes, and then given just 30 minutes to complete the task without any assistance.

Bear in mind, I was already physically and mentally drained from the arduous journey.

While the remaining interviews were passable, they were nothing to brag about. After being sent home with the promise of a call, I received a cold rejection a week later, citing a lack of experience based on the onsite interviews.

Looking back, I'm grateful I didn't sacrifice everything for a company with a track record of questionable practices and frequent layoffs.
It makes sense to have it in macros. Though standard C still doesn't have statement expressions, so...
It doesn't, that's a different feature called LAN play.

LAN play mostly exists to be able to reliably connect Switches to each other at tournaments and such (which is why you find it more frequently in competitive games). It doesn't connect to Nintendo's servers, it just looks for other devices on the same network for local play purposes. Its not the same thing as regular local multiplayer, that's a different feature.

You can somewhat trivially intercept this using DNS if you want to do long-distance co-op, but it's absurdly jank from my experience.

Also both Ryujinx and Yuzu support connecting with LDN_mitm which well, man-in-the-middles the LDN sysmodule on hacked Switch devices to enable the same thing as LAN play interception but then for titles that don't support LAN play.

> They may exist for a while

I don't think we should be interested in the "asymptotic theoretical limit" of capitalism which is never reached. Let's discuss "capitalism in practice", not "capitalism in theory". If things self-correct in a time frame longer than your own lifespan, do you think it's an ideal scenario? I personally don't.

I don't see the government forcing Google to pay thousands of highly qualified workers to fill in BS jobs. This is a natural consequence of being a very successful business: complacency, empire building, etc all decorellated from economic incentives.

People spend decades with BS jobs in a very capitalist society.

Note that I've never argued that a socialist alternative is any better or that the government isn't filled with BS jobs either.

I just observe that the problem manifests itself regardless.

Well since the solution (in the form of those laws) doesn't exist yet, the technology shouldn't be usable until it does.
Sales is an asymmetric information game. The more the seller knows about you, compared with what you know about them, the worse a deal you get.

The goal of companies like Facebook and Google is to know everything about you while you only know what they want you know.
Not enough, if you ask me. It's treated mostly like a museum language, like classical music, with some polishing and quality of life improvements (that came 50 years too late, like checked arithmetic).

Memory and computing power

Memory is the principal lever available to Lambda developers for controlling the performance of a function. You can configure the amount of memory allocated to a Lambda function, between 128 MB and 10,240 MB. The Lambda console defaults new functions to the smallest setting and many developers also choose 128 MB for their functions.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/operatorguide/comp...

CPU Allocation

It is known that at 1,792 MB we get 1 full vCPU1 (notice the v in front of CPU). A vCPU is “a thread of either an Intel Xeon core or an AMD EPYC core”2. This is valid for the compute-optimized instance types, which are the underlying Lambda infrastructure (not a hard commitment by AWS, but a general rule).

If 1,024 MB are allocated to a function, it gets roughly 57% of a vCPU (1,024 / 1,792 ~= 0,57). It is obviously impossible to divide a CPU thread. In background, AWS is dividing the CPU time. With 1,024 MB, the function will receive 57% of the processing time. The CPU may switch to perform other tasks on the remaining 43% of the time.

The result of this CPU allocation model is: the more memory is allocated to a function, the faster it will accomplish a given task.

https://dashbird.io/knowledge-base/aws-lambda/resource-alloc...

> For reference I have a devops team in-company that deployed and maintained several AWS projects, including some serverless

Same here.

> even they were surprised at the low compute available at low RAM lambdas.

I wasn't because we measured it and based on the measurement we calculated what we want. I think it is a good approach not to assume anything.

98% of people currently incarcerated in the U.S. have not had a trial. In fact, around 25% of them haven't even been convicted of a crime as they're being held in pre-trial detention (usually a misnomer because, as mentioned, most of them will make a plea bargain before going to trial.)

I would caution against believing “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” when that would make the government your friend. Yes, Facebook has been awful and done great harm in some ways, but crucially it is not the case that Facebook was only able to do such harm because the FTC lacked the ability to unilaterally and without oversight deploy extreme powers like “you may not monetize this data” or “you may not release features or products without our permission”. The FTC has some insane thumbscrews now, and though it may be satisfying to see them use their thumbscrews to make Facebook squeal, you still shouldn’t be happy that the FTC has thumbscrews.

Generally yes, but I think the US is still the only one where you become a citizen just by being born on the territory?

Most countries are "by blood" so just being born somewhere doesn't mean anything if neither parent is a citizen.

Obviously you probably already knew that but just for clarification...
Firstly, it’s not “entirely useless”; it just has a slightly lower quality of evidence than a study that was blinded for participants. However, some things are quite difficult to practically blind – and this (not unreasonably) is one of them.

Secondly, you raise lots of interesting hypotheses that might contradict the findings of the study. These would indeed be interesting directions for further similar studies. However, in the meantime, a study (even of moderate evidence quality) is probably more valuable than off-the-cuff hypotheses.

(My low quality n=1 anecdote: i’ve discovered that I am quite light sensitive while sleeping. so measures which minimise ambient light improve my quality of sleep. Whether this is blackout curtains or a sleep mask is more situationally dependent.)

Regardless of what the healthy ratio is, managers are typically incentivized to add more managers between themselves and their reports. This creates the illusion that they are more senior and worth of a promotion to senior manager, director, VP, etc. so even if your company has a healthy ratio, there needs to be a force counteracting the natural desire of managers to grow their ranks.
Snap is more of a messaging app afaict. I'm pretty sure the biggest harms from social media come from algorithmic targeting of content, echo chamber creation, and the ability to hugely amplify fringe opinions and destabilise debate.

You could make ads relevant the old fashioned way: asking people what they are interested in or actually doing consumer research, instead of simply using their data they "give up" with a freemium service to make ads more "relevant". I used quotes on 'relevant' because I have never, ever, felt that advertising has suddenly become wildly more relevant or successfully targeted with the advent of social media or google. Most ads are still garbage and completely irrelevant to my interests; the targeting is usually pretty pathetic. I find more relevant advertising in a magazine or when it's self managed by a blog (the owner straight up just selling adspace old-school style) than online these days.

It's not like it needs to work the way it does online right now or it can't work at all. Facebook just likes the way it works because that's their business model.

Upon almost no reflection, you could make a long list of things that cannot be done without consciousness, or at least cannot be done yet and we have no good reason to believe could ever be done without consciousness. Can you understand anything without consciousness? Can you have an identity without consciousness? The argument you're presenting is that if physical mimicry is close enough to the original then it is the same thing, if we just assume that consciousness is nothing. It's saying that Frankenstein's experiment was largely a success.
