They are not returning money to shareholders, they are artificially inflating the stock price through short term band aids like dividend. If you are suffering an existential crisis, you try to invest all you can in positioning yourself to be successful in the long run. If I am an investor, and I am, I want long term return on the full value of my investment, not a $1 dividend on a stock I bought for $40, which is not worth anywhere near it now.

This is the same nonsense Pat's predecessors did, laid off long term experts in manufacturing & design and replaced them with fresh grads. And see how where we are.
This isn't particularly news. It was well known shortly after 9/11 that the FBI and CIA did not cooperate, fought with eachother (they still do), but most of all, by law, they couldn't communicate with eachother. It's not really a particular bombshell.
I like Mastodon, but "too complicated" is a legitimate concern and maybe undersells it. It's hard to use and puts a lot of burden on the users. Also seems like it's hard on admins, who have to deal with bad actors on their own server as well as constantly re-evaluate the volume of bad actors on servers they federate with.

As a user I don't want to deal with too much abuse but I also don't want to have to worry about my server not being able to connect to my friend's server. These goals seem like they're at odds. I could see it working if most users coalesce around a single server or a small network of servers with similar rules.
Is it normal for people to just splat their database across the wire? Because that seems pretty terrible. We wrap every API response in a DTO and are deliberate about picking and choosing which fields we want to expose. Anything else sounds like a recipe for bad times.

Unless they are deliberately creating environments where multiple people would be susceptible to being blackmailed. Jeffrey had plenty of security cameras.
Yup, as you noted, the My Lai massacre had made the news and the antiwar faction painted all GIs as baby killers.
The idea is that the blockchain tracks the date the video was entered onto the blockchain verifiably. Note that this isn't the same as the date the images were taken, but it confirms that the recording is at least X days old.

Sounds like a minor dispute blown up into something sinister.
I was reading this thread thinking, "I haven't noticed any ads on Gmail"... then remembered I've been using Fastmail for more than a year on my personal account.

So I guess that's a good thing - the fact I'm using Fastmail and not Gmail anymore just mainly disappeared from my consciousness.

I’m sorry. But he is all sorts of wrong and is dangerously fear mongering. Whether he is doing this for personal gain or if in fact he actually believes all this doesn’t really matter.

I’m not going to go into it all but I’ll touch on one of the first mistakes me makes… that a super intelligence won’t follow orders. Well you better hope a super intelligence won’t just blindly follow orders because THAT would be dangerous. A super intelligence won’t just be able to do things better than us, it will be able to understand things better than us and in so doing it will also have a superior mortality than humans do. Notice how his immediate train of thought on AI is conflict — a battle between us and them. Why? At worst an AI will be indifferent. So the only conflict is one we create out of fear and foolishness.

Bombing AI data centers? Yeah, We will surely be the reason for our own destruction. Not AI.
I do wonder if for areas where provable authenticity is necessary we will see a move back to analogue film.

Sorry for the editorialized title. The original title was way too long.
It sounds fine from a theoretical standpoint to use a pure byte stream rather than reliable messaging, which is what most applications actually want. However, messaging protocols can run byte streams at 0 overhead (you still need a message sequence number/tag, and this field turns into the same thing as the TCP seq num for a byte stream), while byte streams need some overhead to turn into messaging protocols, since there is otherwise no protocol-level delimiter between messages.

This seems like nearly nothing, but when you think about the lost compute power and network bandwidth throughout the history of TCP to this distinction, it's actually a very significant chunk of power, CO2, and wasted human life. Not to mention the lost human life that comes from HOL blocking.

The byte stream abstraction idea, I think, was a suspect decision at the time (born out of a desire to look exactly like a serial teletype port despite the fact that it's the wrong abstraction layer to use for that), and clearly wrong for a transport layer today. Almost everything built on top of TCP re-introduces messaging semantics.

Also, IP never had a message checksum, only a header checksum. The checksumming is at the TCP layer and it is still alive.

Blackmail doesn't always only involve the blackmail target. There can be other victims as a result of collateral damage from the blackmailing process.
It's the reverse. Random data is less compressible, so it contains more information.
You can't right now. Devs are working on instructions for porting other models, but they're not ready yet. The point of MLC is that it supports pretty much all GPU backends out there (including Intel and Mac). The bundled model is just a proof of concept.
They were never "mandatory" in the sense that if you didn't get it the government would fine you or cart you off to jail, but there were "soft" mandates in the form of "if you want to do [activity], you need to be vaccinated", where [activity] ranged from "indoor businesses" to "indoor events with more than 1,000 attendees "

...because they're constantly being raked over the coals for being "biased", "liberal", and (now, conveniently thanks to Musk in large part): "state-controlled" perhaps?

If news events depict one side of the political spectrum unfavorably, "balanced" reporting plays directly into the agenda of that side. Truthful reporting of the news shouldn't always mean "all sides have valid arguments," and yet that is what our current media climate demands.
This is going to be interesting in the world of supporting evidence for criminal cases.

For example, lets say someone accused of a violent crime and the prosecutor wants it upgraded to a hate crime. Now lets the accused did not post a life of hate on facebook. But instead there are just a few audio recordings of the accused saying "I hate X people, I want to kill them all" brought to the court by someone else and not found in the accused possession.

As time progresses it will likely become more difficult to prove that the audio is real. Deepfakes of audio are convincingly good these days. Soon the recordings of politicians saying terrible things will be met with a default reply of "it's a deepfake", and it's likely a bunch of them will be.

Future is going to be messy, yo.
Thank you for sharing.

Basically: "Move fast and break things" is a mindset that could destroy the future of humanity. When the fast movement is unbridled and little-understood AI advancement, the "things" could be humanity itself. Scary stuff.
I recently googled something like "modal fabric weave diagram".

On my phone I was given five places to buy modal clothing and a message that "x other similar results have been omitted".

I persisted, I rephrased. I was asked if I was a robot, I clicked on CAPTCHAs, and now Google is willing to give me some results that are relevant to textile design but I still haven't been able to find out what weave patterns are common in modern modal fabrics.

On my work computer Google knows I'm an engineer so it gives me papers on visco-elastic properties of the fabric but it's not actually processing my query well and giving me weaves, it's just saying "I guess you're fancy and technical, huh?"

In 1997 there would have been a text/image website with forty diagrams of various weave patterns and it would have come up in the top twenty results.

I would like a little more 1997 in my internet, please.
You know, contracts are just pieces of paper. They can easily be faked. Yet try going on court and say that a contract with your signature is invalid because it could be fake. Your argument will be rejected, because it doesn't matter if it could be faked, it matters if you are alleging that it was faked.

So the same thing should be the standard for video. Someone shows a video of you doing something. Either say under penalty of perjury, that you did not do that, and then the authenticity of the video can be looked into, or the video will be accepted as authentic. You don't get a preemptive "this could be fake, so lets ignore it".
Sure they will. Now look at a picture of this kitten.
This would be great, but as it is, platform authenticators are effectively always a combination of trusted and untrusted hardware/software, since the TEE or Secure Element usually does not have user input/output capabilities and is relying to the application processor OS's integrity to some extent.

Notable exception: Google's Protected Confirmation [1] – the signature format of that is not natively WebAuthN/FIDO compatible, though.

Yes they absolutely lack the visionary leadership. Problem is that the first CEO of a successful company gets there by being a good CEO. The 2nd through last CEOs get there by being good at office politics.
I don't if I would call it a "horror story". A horror story would be that someone bought cheap coax cables off Aliexpress, and when they hooked them up all of the smoke came out of the radio.

In this case, the radio operator hooked up the cables and weren't transmitting as well as they thought they should be. Some measurements indicated that the cables were signal-attenuating crap. Cables that were purchased from AliExpress. It's almost as if one gets to the end your campfire story, and one of the campers pipes up and says, "don't tell me, the call was coming from inside the house?", only I piped up at the beginning and said to myself, "coax cables from AliExpress? Don't tell me, you found out that about half the transmission power went to creating heat and not radio signals."

It doesn't seem like you've actually moved away from using TCP.

So the irony of that quote is that most people use it as caution against government overreach.

In context, Franklin was talking about a plan by the Penn family to buy the right to never pay taxes in exchange for providing private mercenaries to bolster the western Pennsylvania front against native attacks. The "those" he was referring to was government... The government of the PA colony. The "liberty" in question was the legislature's authority to determine how taxes should be levied. Hence the "deserve neither" part... "Make a short-sighted decision like that, as the leaders of this government, and you don't deserve the power vested in you."
Research. We’re researching cures to cancer, nuclear fusion, space flight, etc. with no idea what the total cost of ownership will be.

Software dev can resemble research on a smaller scale. The more interesting or complex your requirements and environment, the closer it resembles research.

The original point of agile was to lean into this fact and get out of planning and predicting. Scrum culture has corrupted this goal.
If you own your own domain name for your email, then it's pretty simple and will take a few hours of effort to get fully moved over.

Part of why I pushed myself to move away from Gmail was I was still using the @gmail address occasionally.

Luckily, I'd been using my own domains for a long time for most emails, so it's been a pretty easy transition - I still have Fastmail poll Gmail for emails to make sure I see the ones that still go to @gmail.
That seems to be faulty logic. Even if we take the extreme threat of AIs resulting in the collapse of economy and society, many people could still survive in small, self-sufficient communities — hell, it is basically a built-in negative feedback loop, if society collapses a GAI won’t have too much teeth anymore, we are not in some sci-fi with robot armies.

Climate crisis doesn’t have a solution in that landscape, it requires worldwide collaboration of government-level agents to effectively combat.
Essentially you can think about them as "water which washes the filter", i.e. contaminants removed from the drinkable water are in this waste stream. Without this filter this fine would clog up in couple days. In typical home install this water is just dumped into the sewer, if you have use for gray water, you can capture it and re-use it.
"No they made the wrong decision and SCTP and QUIC fixed almost everything wrong with TCP."

In the context of 2023, this is a defensible position. I can quibble, but it's defensible.

However, are you sure you want a 1974 take on a "message based protocol"? Trust me, you're not getting SCTP out of that, in a world where having two streams instead of just one is a noticeable resource impact. Heck, even by the 1990s there were still a lot of really bad things coming out of the world of "message based protocols".

You wouldn't be here in 2023 with a message-based TCP. You'd be here in 2023 with some other protocol having become the foundation of the Internet, and it wouldn't be "message based" either. There's no option where someone in 1974 is building with the nearly 50 years of experience that haven't happened yet, and I'm not going to grade TCP on that basis personally.
Had a skim, this seems relevant [0]

> The Na+ hydration shell, which is formed by three water molecules, is quite stable while the K+ ion can only perturb the water structure in its immediate neighborhood so that it is unable to attract the water molecules. As a result the diameter of the hydrated Na+ is about 0.5 nm while the K+ diameter is equal to its ionic diameter.

Basically in water Na+ and Cl- are surrounded by water molecules attracted by electrostatic forces. This will add bulk to the naked ion and they are reasonably stable/robust

As is so often the case in neural network design, preventing numbers from blowing up is the cause of so many necessary, but poorly understood math hacks. It seems these researchers have found a potentially better way to control the sampling process so that diffusion models can generate outputs that are more correct.

I often wonder if Midjourney, behind the scenes, has already discovered something like this in their v5 release, which is substantially better at modelling things like hands.

Because I'm right. It's not that hard to extrapolate what people think. It's hard for the "rationalist" crowd to understand but not everyone is arguing in good faith, and humans tend to regurgitate the last opinion they heard from a person they like.

Of course, there's a small amount of time I'll be wrong, and I'm happy to apologize and have a proper discussion when that happens.
Very neat idea. I love how decoupled React is from the different renderers, and how well its paradigm of "render a tree of things that updates as state changes" translates to different kinds of UIs

> Capitalism is supposed to help the people via efficient allocation of resources, not make money for a select few.

I am far from convinced this is even a goal of capitalism, much less the goal. There is a reason it trends towards monopoly.

While I violently disagree with the moral position of the GP's post, I think their mentality is much more closely aligned with a working definition of the thing, which is to optimize for output of material wealth, while allowing individual people to benefit from private ownership of the means by which that wealth is created.

At no point does the concept of "helping people" enter that definition; it only "allows" people to help themselves, if they can, within the limitations of a framework that compounds generational and socioeconomic success (and thus, already have some degree of "help" to stand on).

> The original goal of any economy is to enable specialization and still provide for the basics. People aren’t just workers.

I'd add some nuance here. The goal of any economy is to enable specialization towards the goals of the drivers of that economy and provide the basics for people who enable those goals. Not for people in some holistic, humanistic sense.

And under capitalism, since that goal is production of capital, those people are absolutely just workers, except for the owners of capital, and the ones who fall out of the machine and become so many loose parts rotting on the floor.

Why use this tool? Why not simply build and test the propeller? Your results would be much more reliable - CFD is famously finicky, especially for a situation like a propeller where you have rotating flows.

The point of golf ball dimples is to act as vortex generators and improve flow attachment, so having both barnacles and dimples is redundant.

The only exception here is them taking extra effort to keep dividends high. It is not like they were rolling is cash they don't know what to do with.

> Intel's earnings report for the first quarter of 2023 was one of the worst in the company's history. Its revenue dropped by 36% annually and the firm also posted a loss per share of four cents. These losses came as the firm ensured that its investors were happy and paid $1.5 billion in dividends out of pocket during Q1, keeping the payments nearly similar to the year ago quarter's figures.
Those are informative links. Sure. But that doesn't mean they have to prove it wasn't manufactured by martians 50 million years ago just because the other side brought up that possibility just to bring the piece of evidence in to the trial.
on top of most servers aren't paid real minimum wage. so there's a big difference between minimum wage and tipped minimum wage.
Deepfake detection will always be imperfect. The only solution the epistemological challenge from deepfakes is to securely authenticate legitimate media.

The Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA -- c2pa.org) is an emerging standard to apply cryptographic signatures to media starting in the camera through the editing phase to distribution and consumption. Unfortunately C2PA does not yet have widespread adoption and we are facing a very challenging few years where we will not reliably be able to distinguish real and fake media.
> Google now seems deep into the enshittification [1] process. Of all the big tech companies, they seemed the most customer-friendly, the least constrained by the need to optimize their money hose. But I guess the economic logic of tying executive compensation to short-term share price simply overwhelmed other considerations. The stock must go up, so revenues must grow, so Google must monetize everything to the maximum extent.

I'm surprised it this has taken this long to be honest. I expected everything to turn to shit with in a years of going public.

Whenever 9/11 and the followup "War on Terror" comes up, I remember this:

"In 1998, Kristol and Kagan advocated regime change in Iraq throughout the Iraq disarmament process through articles that were published in the New York Times.

Following perceived Iraqi unwillingness to co-operate with UN weapons inspections, core members of the PNAC including Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, R. James Woolsey, Elliott Abrams, Donald Rumsfeld, Robert Zoellick, and John Bolton were among the signatories of an open letter initiated by the PNAC to President Bill Clinton calling for the removal of Saddam Hussein.Portraying Saddam Hussein as a threat to the United States, its Middle East allies, and oil resources in the region.

Shortly after the September 11 attacks, the PNAC sent a letter to President George W. Bush, specifically advocating regime change through "a determined effort to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq."

The letter suggested that "any strategy aiming at the eradication of terrorism and its sponsors must include a determined effort to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq," even if no evidence surfaced linking Iraq to the September 11 attacks."
