> Prosecuting that would have lead to a dangerous precedent for a lot of companies and government agencies involved in propaganda.

Propaganda (a.k.a , advertising/marketing) is broadly legal (though some specific methods and certain actors participating in certain kinds are restricted), deliberately making materially false statements to the government in the course of, and in order to influence, a government proceeding is prohibited. Firmly drawing the line between those things is a good thing.

SDoc is an abstraction for generated formatted text including the assembly the compiler generates. The problem was not that the code generator was generating extra output, but that the text-formatting functionality it used was doing extra bookkeeping that made sense for human-readable text but was not necessary for machine-readable assembly.

Using the same abstraction for both seems a bit silly at first, but it helped the codebase stay more consistent and was already pretty well-optimized. The changes in the article optimized it further by splitting out some of the more expensive functionality while keeping the same general engineering advantages.
I am the curator/maintainer of the mirtitles.org blog and the typesetter of the books.

Thanks for the comment and putting in the perspective. The project started with the idea of preserving this knowledge about 15 years back. I grew up reading those books, but they were nowhere to be found for others to read by the end of 90s. The collection has been a collaborative effort with people from across the globe contributing to it. Though it will take some time (read years/decades), hopefully one day the collection will have all the books published during the Soviet era.
Was my C64 different from yours? When I was a kid, I was doing exactly what you describe: throwing together BASIC programs from the prompt, run them, saving and loading them from disk (actually the cassette). The manual even had a BASIC crash course. When later I found the OS assembly source, most of it was the BASIC interpreter.

I was being somewhat sarcastic, since at least for me, I don't use Twitter anymore. A lot of the people I followed on there left too.

Yeah, it's a toxic shithole. I think paulpauper is partly correct that much of what makes Twitter bad is more the results of internet culture than something specific to Twitter, but there's always been a particular ugliness to Twitter that I attribute to their engagement engineering. It was bad enough before Musk took over, but at this point, I think Twitter is so bad as to be increasingly irrelevant, which was the point of my earlier comment.

(This is the point at which someone might say "come to Mastodon, everyone is so much nicer over there", but they really, really aren't—same kneejerk viciousness, just left-er instead of right-er.)

What’s so amazing about the fall of the wall is how bureaucratic the announcement was meant to be (we have agreed to dismantle the wall, but we don’t have a plan to enact yet). But everyone showed up with amateur or actual construction equipment and started tearing it to pieces.

The wall more or less went up overnight, it’s no wonder people wanted it down just as fast.

> The kernel itself can't include anything requiring floating point maths,

This sounds like a limitation derived from ancient architectures and platforms. What's the barrier to allowing FP in kernel modules for platforms that are guaranteed to have FP support? Is it too much work for the kernel to save and restore FP registers and modes?

I think there’s always been BASIC hate because of the name. Programmers like to think they’re super geniuses so nobody wants to use a language called BASIC.

It’s never been the best language but also nowhere near the worst. Modern versions of it are at least decent and arguably better than more popular languages like PHP.

> The second main reason is the ability to define a component and reuse it without having to redefine it every time we need to use it. This is called composability.

Uhm, this isn’t strictly composability. Its reusability. Composability is distinct in that you’re architecting or designing components to be composed with one another. That is, they only know what they need to know and isolate domain. Also, their composition interface is the same as their output interface. A likely outcome is reusable components, but it’s not the goal necessarily.

Couple of thoughts

The documentation explains every part of a Phoenix app pretty well.

The code generator is not there to learn you anything. That is your own job.

Adding a controller or schema to results in a small number o f new files. Git commit before you do and you can easily understand what was added.
The other replies defends the walled garden approach but I agree with you. Most of the time I patch or fork the project to suit my needs. But sometimes there's little things that would definitely help if it's merged to the mainline. Note: for others, not for me. I already have my own fork.

So my patience to go through the hoops is very small. Since I'm only doing it because I think it'll be beneficial for others.

It doesn't matter for me if it doesn't get merged or even read by the maintainer. But in cases like you mentioned, it's just such a shame.
He wasn't wrong that it has "no wireless" and less space than a Nomad (whatever that is). He was absolutely wrong that it was therefore "lame" i.e. unable to deliver significant value in spite of these limitations.
I tried to help a sex worker with ChatGPT and all it did was preach about avoiding sex work, further marginalizing in its virtue signalizing. I dont consider her marginalized, and “help” was just information about her job and techniques and venues. ChatGPT would have consumed this textual information too.

But yeah offline fine tuned models wont have this problem.

Kind of cool to see how the SWERF representation in tech is going to speedrun SWERF irrelevancy.

I try give every news outlet the chance to prove their merits. The linked article writes very detailed how their enemies have an agenda, but gets very small lipped why The GRAYZONE should be considered reputable.

So checked their articles and found this recent one about the US-Ukraine leak:
https://thegrayzone.com/2023/04/07/leaked-documents-us-nato-...

"Neither the New York Times nor the “military analysts” it cited explain how the documents were altered, or why they have the appearance of tampering."

Thankfully they provide the leaked document (The black box "TOTAL ASSESSED LOSSES"): https://i0.wp.com/thegrayzone.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04...

And the numbers are VERY poorly photoshopped: The doctored text does not align with the rest. Character position, height and spacing suddenly change (look at the "71.5k" alone). The russian aircraft losses have a numbers photoshopped out (from "7x fighter/bomber; 8x rotary wing" to "7 fighter/bomber; 8 rotary wing".

So would agree with Wikipedia, that The GRAYZONE is NOT reliable.
> go play DDR

Can confirm, this is one of the only things ever to get me willingly doing cardio on a regular basis.

It also spawned several technical projects: I built a control interface for a Cobalt Flux from parts, finally learned to solder in order to fix a panel on it, and built a small workout tracker as a MERN stack demo and progress log (when I still had a place I could play DDR in...)

Which brings me to the piece I'd add to this:

Build the things you want to use.
No, it's more about ethnicity and religion being intertwined. Judaism also references an ethnic group historically tied to the practice of the religion, but not necessarily. If you want to talk about people who are "ethnically jewish" but not "religious jewish", you can say something like "secular jewish" or "nonpracticing Jew".

I am a nonpracticing Jew myself. I don't identify with any of the religious or cultural aspects of Judaism (although I have some educational background). But as a Jewish person, I'm still eligible for citizenship of Palestine/Israel (though not interested for political reasons), and also eligible for targeting by white supremicists/neonazis
Meritorious work, but one huge file makes it hugely impractical. Am I really supposed to find local space for 12TB of stuff if I'm just after a few series, i.e. probably a couple of GBs at best? Or is there some torrent hackery that allows me to peek inside the file and only get the chunks I want?

Define "monetize".

OP seems to imply that monetize equals "create an elaborate business plan that consumes your life.

But "monetize" could be as simple as adding a donate button to your website. As long as you don't have unreasonable expectations about living off a donate button, it costs you nothing to add one, most people don't think of doing it, and it may surprise you that many people often actually appreciate you giving them the opportunity to show their appreciation in a useful way.
Right, I think it's both
It is ok. There are many things happening when you pursue a project. Only one of them is the output of the project.

One day when you have done this enough, you will stop, and you will know something that someone who created and maintained a few projects, someone you might presently assess as more accomplished, will not know.

You are spending desire to capture diffuse information in your own understanding.

I agree that namespaces are pretty awesome functionality for this, but I've been burnt too many times by bespoke on-host configurations to put much stock in them. Plus they only work for the single host, and do nothing about the myriad of Internet of Trash devices.

I keep all my routing complexity contained to one (virtual) machine with extensive nftables rules, that functions as the house router. It has a table with each host and the network horizon it can see. Then I create a virtual machine for each activity that needs a separate horizon.

The one thing I'm missing is some way of securing the binding of hosts to addresses. Most switches/devices don't support ethernet authentication. I could do something like fine grained VLANs and keeping track of what is connected to what, but that seems like a huge pain in the ass.
These look really interesting.

I'm curious if there are plans to sell these to American customers. Right now (IIUC) their website only ships to EU countries.

That's approximately correct if your router is using an 880MHz MIPS CPU core, but the industry has actually mostly moved on from those.

If you read this as bragging about war, I absolutely ask you to reconsider your read here.

This is tribute to a man who went "I'm bored, I'm going to go far outside my comfort zone," helped rebuild infrastructure destroyed by (war, negligence, etc) and solved a hard problem in a short amount of time that improved the lives of others.

The ethics of war has many corners. If there is a war that may have actually been justified in its time, the freeing of Bangladesh may have been one of the few, but that's beside the point of the discussion entirely.
A friend of mine used to work on a product that was essentially a printer driver.

The problems include (1) QA, (2) reverse engineering the communication protocol, and (3) support.

#1 and #3 are chronic issues in the OSS world. They're also a problem because there are a ton of printers out there, and getting one to develop/test against eventually becomes an expense and space problem.

And, printers are cheap. There's no real financial incentive to do it.

As an aside, I talked to some guy at Chase years ago, and all he wanted was some way to manage all the printers Chase had. That was it. It was like his personal nightmare. It was literally an impossible task, especially since some unknown percentage of them were no longer manufacturer supported...and many didn't have a manufacturer anymore.

This is why financials want you to go all-digital - so they can dump these behemoth printers that cost a fortune to maintain.
This is a critique that Yglesias has also leveled against Musk (with regard to China in particular), and is probably partly why Musk seems so cranky here.
If your work isn't professional, high-stakes stuff for a client, perhaps you can take some sting out of the hard finishing part by heavily and prominently disclaiming your work, and writing down the things you haven't done.

Is the purpose really to release polished products? Or to learn and try something new and share it?

By stating the purpose you can make those disclaimers more relatable and reasonable and set your users expectations.

Also know that starting, exploring and learning are brilliant useful skills by themselves.

Finishing is another skill, and if you want to be good at it I think it's useful if you can take some pressure out of it, start with low expectations and then with practice you get better, like all things.

Also, you can't expect yourself to finish all things because its time consuming like all the steps.

Example and shameful plug: models I release here that are plastered with disclaimers, but this is what lets me share something and move on.

GP is right, though. Love and hatred are the two manifestations of the will: the will to create and the will to destroy. When you see a scary spider near you, that first impulse is the will to destroy. By the time the pure will reaches your motor neurons, it creates a lot of secondary effects, such as emotions. That's why there's a saying that desire is a weak will.

How to Have Polygenically Screened Children
Was it leaked or “leaked”?

Google has a good, two part strategy available.

First is to neutralize the threat: support the open source efforts covertly and/or overtly, as those efforts undercut the revenue of OpenAI and other potential competitors for the base technology. This is what they did with Android: at a minimum all they had to do was ensure that Apple did not become a monopoly, which they accomplished (the secondary effect was to cut the underbrush of any other competitors). A name for this is to “commoditize your competition”.

The second half is to use their internal experience with LLMs and their other ecosystem to use supercharge their strengths. Side inventions can either be expanded in the hope of a (desperately needed, unrelated to LLMs) new revenue stream or given away to starve potential new entrants.

The big guys have good experience in weaponizing open source. But google has become flabby and seemingly lost any culture of execution so I don’t know if they can pull it off. But the path is there.

The "media sentiment change happened because Facebook ad revenue surpassed newspaper advertising revenue" makes a cute soundbite and there's some correlation graphs, but the details presented here are pretty weak.

E.g. the NYT started being negative towards facebook because of "filter bubbles" undercutting them in a conspiratorial way instead of a "that sounds bad" way - HN is mostly negative on filter bubbles too. Same with Juicero.

And the "economic attack" on Hollywood, for instance, is hardly so - the initial investor-money-burning decade of streaming talked about here was WONDERFUL for most of Hollywood. You get to make way more shows, and they aren't supposed to all be lowest-common-denominator reality stuff? That was a bonanza for actors, writers, directors.

I'd also want to see media sentiment of TV, streaming; ad revenue comparisons of that, and all the other options in the world between a binary "newspaper" and "tech" in that one graph.

Not to mention some research on consumer sentiment not just media sentiment. Does the author really believe the average Joe wasn't getting more negative about FB over that time span? Where was "Tech" on that "people think the president should do something about" list five, ten, fifteen, twenty years ago? 40% is lower than oil and airlines; what's the rate of change? (One might say "yes, the public got more negative because the media pushed the narrative" which would be a pretty interesting argument, but it's notably not what this article is saying - the author is saying that the public "Techlash" basically "never happened" outside the media. (But that's not really new, right - Tech criticizing the "media" [or slices of it] is also a decades-long well-established practice. This ain't a one-way street.)

Yet spend a week on HN and you'll see that even in the industry, there's a LOT of organic negative sentiment against certain tech companies. I would agree with a claim that the media is oversimplifying that to "frustrating with tech," I don't agree that it's not a real trend with real causes independent of media reporting. We all use these products, we can all see the gradual shittification of them - FB, TikTok, Snap, Google Search...

Another hack that doesnt have a high bar: find a friend who is preferably technical and say you want to show them a demo of something you are making. Invite them to your “demo” 6 or 8 weeks out. Now start building. If you hold yourself to sharing that demo with a friend you will be amazed at what steps you can take to get there. If not, debug why? Try to understanding why showing that demo is not inspiring? Does it really excite you? What would it mean for it to work? What possibility does it create next?
