I agree. I really don't understand obsessing about thinness.

Being a few millimeters thinner doesn't actually help it fit into a small backpack any better.
The machinery for a moderated newsgroup works by the news server you post an article to having a list of moderator email addresses for moderated groups. Instead of posting your article the server emails it to the moderator. The mod will then either just discard it, or else post it to their own news server with an Approved header to say it's moderated (and these days some crypto signing stuff). Then the post gets propagated as usual.

The "approve/deny/edit" stuff is handled by moderation software, which in principle can do anything you like.
Well, did it remain secret? Seems like this has been openly recognized for quite awhile, but propaganda forces at play made it seems like you're a nutjob to believe it.
> Has January 6th already slipped from your mind

Is there a fairly neutral source on January 6? I can only find partisan ones, and the photos and video I saw seem very benign. Is there a decent writeup that draws it all together?

I keep seeing comments like this. “Man, if only people cared about decentralization” or “this proves that centralization is a failure”

As if we don’t all know that and have thought that forever.

All of this stuff WAS decentralized before Reddit.
IRC was decentralized before Discord and Slack. Decentralization lost.

We can’t just be ideological about software we have to be pragmatic. You can’t just say “let’s throw up a decentralized Reddit” and boom problem solved. You have to figure out how to build something that is sustainable, that people want to use, without a bunch of money. That’s super hard.
Because the system dis-incentives it. It's hard to compete when your opponent is willing to play dirty and the referee doesn't care to stop it.

Unlikely. 1.5TB of RAM is the kind of crazy amount that you'd use if you were handling some immense workload and you need to hold a huge amount of data in memory. You couldn't just cut the amount of available RAM down to a fraction and expect things to continue to work.
Without Nvidia drivers, I don't see the point in having a $7k Mac Pro.

It can have a 15" display and it does have one.

The weight is more important and this seems impressive. 3 pounds seems light for a laptop with a 15" display. And based on where we are in Apple's product cycle, I imagine it will hold up pretty well.
Not having a bank account is a race issue? People who are not white cannot get a bank account? Poor people can't get a bank account and all non-white are poor therefore bank accounts are racist?

> The OOP people are currently dying/retiring as languages shift to be much more functional.

I don't know what programming language landscape you're looking at, but to me it doesn't look like that at all. I grant you that more and more languages are getting functional bits glued on. That doesn't make them FP languages, though. And my perception is that they aren't being used as FP languages. They're being used as other-paradigm languages that can do a bit of FP when desired. If people actually wanted an FP language, they'd switch to one. And they aren't.
For writing a program, the s-expression form might become:

(+ (* 2 (^ x 3))
(^ x 2)
(- (* 5 x)))

Whereas:

2*x^3 +
x^2 -
5*x

Would probably error out in most languages, due to parsing issues and ambiguity. Even worse ambiguity, if you put the signs in front, as then every line could be an expression by itself:

2*x^3
+ x^2
- 5*x

Could be 3 expressions or 2 or 1.
> If there would be something just like Go, but with a bit more powerful typesystem like Rust has (Option<T> instead of `err != nil`, and so on), and a simplified ML-like language instead of an imperative one... that would be my dream.

Not to be snarky (for once) but

- More powerful type system: that goes against the whole implementation culture behind Go and their wider philosophy

- ML-inspired instead of imperative: goes even more counter to the above

I have never tried Go and I will probably never care to try it, but I have never seen a language which manages to both be (1) simple in the Go-sense and (2) look remotely anything like an ML language.

Not sure why this was down voted. The incentives for our politicians to create wars are very strong. They can convince themselves and others of the verocity of their reasons but war is a benefit to them. All they have to do is signal a desire for conflict (or a response to conflict) and the campaign dollars pour in.

I think it could be a combination of:
1. Marketing speak because it sounds better to compare it to the much slower Intel Macs than to the fast M1. Plus the gains between and M1 and M2 are marginal compared to Apple Silicon vs. Intel.
2. They are marketing more to Intel Mac owners/potential PC switchers rather than M1 owners.
One thing people that are against changes to the urban environments miss is that the desire is not for cars to be banned, just deprioritized. The aim is to reduce the need for personal vehicles, not eliminate them entirely. There are 289MM cars in the US (.87 cars per person), in The Netherlands there are 8.7MM cars (0.5 cars per person). Even with such a "small" numeric difference, the effects are drastic to livability.

Every time a crypto article is posted there are a large amount of people who are only capable of thinking in absolutes like you.*

I don't think it's a very good currency (in the tx time/volume sense), but I think viewing crypto's viability as an all-or-nothing game is unreasonable--that includes both those for it and those against it. As for your assertions about failures:

- CEXs have failed (in the worst way possible too, see MtGox, BTC-e, FTX), but that doesn't mean they have all failed--or that there isn't a future for them.

- Hardware wallets haven't failed at all really. Like, Trezor and Ledger are the largest I think, and those are fine AFAIK. Are you referring to Ledger's recent news with the optional update including a backdoor for those that want to sync keys with Ledger's new service? (Seems like a dumb business decision imho, seems oxymoronic--hardware wallet as a service? lol)

- Soft wallets have been hacked and are risky, but I think the success rate here is pretty high. A large percent of crypto users use soft wallets like Brave's Wallet and MetaMask, the vast majority of these are fine AFAIK. Not exactly safe IMO, but considering the amount of people who use them and haven't been hacked, this is certainly not an obvious "failure"

Also, unrelated to crypto, but reducing people who disagree with you to "kool-aid drinkers" and "accidentally correct people" is a negative life choice IMO

* I think you are capable of not thinking in absolutes, I just wanted to be mean on the internet
I didn't even do that well in high school (U.S.), but did score well enough on the ACT to get admitted to a good STEM university where I repeated the process of just doing enough to get by while seeing some high school higher achievers flame out.

I have a "feature bug" where I need to really be interested in something to want to learn it and then I can be borderline obsessive about it. Fortunately software development is something that I am interested in (most of the time). Once it get an idea about something that will improve the product or fix a bug, I can really "lock in" on it.
No, killfiles were at an individual level. But they were more than "I'm tired of seeing User Y", as you could also plonk text patterns and the like.

IIRC group-wide moderation was handled per-post in that every post was approved by hand.
> Similarly, I see many people claim GPT-n is "dumb", yet when I see their prompt, I realize it was a bad prompt.

I see this comment a lot, but I drew a different conclusion. People with high reading / writing ability assign less value to GPT's writing ability, whereas people with lower reading / writing ability assign more value to GPT's ability.

Edit:

> yet when I see their prompt, I realize it was a bad prompt.

So, I asked ChatGPT to re-write my reply.

----

Prompt: "Re-write this text, but more intelligently."

Output: I frequently encounter this observation, yet I have arrived at a divergent inference. Individuals possessing exceptional proficiency in reading and writing tend to ascribe a diminished significance to the writing aptitude of GPT, whereas individuals with more limited abilities in reading and writing tend to attach greater value to GPT's prowess.

----

Prompt: "Re-write this text, but make it sound better."

Output: I frequently encounter this recurring sentiment, yet I have formulated an alternative perspective. Individuals endowed with advanced reading and writing prowess tend to bestow a lesser degree of importance upon GPT's writing ability, whereas individuals possessing more modest proficiency in reading and writing are inclined to accord greater significance to GPT's remarkable capabilities.

-----

Prompt: "Re-write this text, but try and use the word 'ability' less."

Output: I frequently come across this comment, but my conclusion differs. Individuals who excel in reading and writing tend to place a diminished emphasis on GPT's writing prowess, while those with more limited skills in reading and writing tend to attach greater importance to GPT's capabilities.

----

Conclusion: I like my original reply better than GPT's re-write.
sure, it's light enough for me though (<4lbs). i like the tradeoff of more (heavy) battery vs. shooting for the absolute lightest machine.
Would really love some kind of pricing clarity. "Free Forever" with hard caps and "Custom" with negotiable caps doesn't really suit my needs, and I don't have any idea at all what to expect in terms of pricing "after free but before scale"
I could be wrong (not a lawyer) but I don’t believe there’s a scienter requirement for unregistered offerings. Regardless, it makes the case much tighter, and will give the SEC a ton more leverage to reach a settlement.

You’re not the only one. Lots of wealthy Vietnamese like it too since it can get you a business edge and money buys you a lot.

But it’s poisonous. The country will never develop beyond something like Malaysia with that level of corruption. One reason why Singapore is so wealthy is the crackdown on corruption. It’s just not tolerated.

And if disagree it’s anything like the US. When immigration officials ask for “tips” to do their job it’s beyond anything you’d see in the West.

I think the "with mold" comment is expressing that even with the state-of-the-art fastest linker that's generally available for use with Rust, it still is slow. If you used the default linker, it would be even slower.

Eh? Every single bitcoin transaction is publicly visible to anyone that looks for it in a way that bank account transactions are not. Correlating transactions with an individual is not exactly difficult if you're determined. It's downright easy if you get the other party to accept a payment from you.
Agreed. Their blue lives matter propaganda campaign was wildly successful.
This is particularly bad if you search for a type of thing, e.g. "mechanical keyboard". Many of its top suggestions will be for nonmechanical keyboards and that won't be obvious without reading their descriptions carefully.

Definitely not. The kinds of "mistakes" I've seen in moderation back then suggests that the process was highly automated.

Moderated Usenet is way more similar to modern Reddit than people probably realize.
I was basically asking what was your path to self learn ML.

But thanks for your very insightful answer.
Much of the complexity and error reporting that exists in the lexer or parser in a non-Lisp language just gets kicked down the road to a later phase in a Lisp.

Sure, s-exprs are much easier to parse. But the compiler or runtime still needs to report an error when you have an s-expr that is syntactically valid but semantically wrong like:

(let ())
(1 + 2)
(define)

Kicking that down the road is a feature because it lets macros operate at a point in time before that validation has occurred. This means they can accept as input s-exprs that are not semantically valid but will become after macro expansion.

But it can be a bug because it means later phases in the compiler and runtime have to do more sanity checking and program validation is woven throughout the entire system. Also, the definition of what "valid" code is for human readers becomes fuzzier.

"Do we really have no other methods to fund medicine? "

We have. Public funded (also via universities) and donation based research.

But investment money is kind of big and if it would suddenly disappear, it will hurt current research as most (?) of it is dependant on it. But all that money would not necessarily disappear, when patents suddelny gets abolished, as there is also the option of increased secrecy.

Meaning they make effective pills, and work with regulators to test them - but share little about the manufacturing process. I believe that is already happening to some extent, but would likely increase a lot.
Not quite anecdotal, but a very narrow range of subjects.

Sample of 19, all male, between 19 and 26, medium age 21. Approximately half were smokers. All had scored a class I or II PFT prior to deployment, had passed a physical, and were in good to excellent health.

Environment and Conditions = Aircraft carrier on gonzo station in the Indian Ocean. Period = 4.5 months. Working temperature range 24 to 35C, 50 to 100%RH. IMA mostly sedentary, sitting at avionics bench in air conditioned space. OMA mostly active, on flight deck or on hanger deck

Work level = 12 to 24 hr/day for OMA(this includes chow breaks). 10 to 20 hr/day for IMA. Both worked 7 days/week.

Food Intake - OMA people ate 3x to 5x per day where range of consumption not less than 3400 cal/day. High end of consumption range indeterminate, probably over 5700 cal/day. IMA people ate 3x/day, unless standing a mid-watch, where range of consumption was 3100 to 4200 cal/day.

About 30% of OMA subject did weights 3x to 5x per week. Essentially all IMA lifted 2x to 6x per week.

Results - all OMA people lost between 5% and 20% body mass by end of cruise. I lost approx 9%, but may not be representative because I spent approx 30% of time working in IMA.

IMA people weight gains ranged from 0% to 10%.

Source = Senior Chief Corpsman (paygrade E-8) that was collecting performance data on aviation maintenance personnel for unknown reasons.

Based on this small sample, I could conclude that both caloric intake and activity level are among the principle things that effect a weight loss or gain.
Hi dulse, can you please make a public announcement with much more clarity. We received one of your alert emails but it was very cryptic with very little information and no mention this was happening across the network.

I miss the trash can. :(
well, i started using c++ in the late-80s, and even back then RAII (possibly not under that (bad, IMHO) name) was widely seen as an important feature of the language. how else could you implement a string class (which you had to do yourself back then)?
Point one just sounds like your opinion that securities regulations should not exist. Seems like a little stump-box-y to post in a thread about high-profile, blatant securities law criminality lol.
It doesn't feel like such a bold claim to me. Dividing neighborhoods (i.e. redlining) lead to ghettos, inner city violence, white flight, etc., Today there is barely any remnant of the middle class in major urban areas and more traffic than ever. City planners (and policy makers) are not civil engineers.

This method has 2 error terms - phase error and amplitude error. You can only represent sinusoids with a resolution of 2pi/2^N rad/samp (same phase error if you don’t do phase truncation). Maybe that’s enough for most applications, but it’s probably significantly more error than math libraries that calculate cos. Totally depends on your application.

What drives attention is fear.

> wrong candidate

"Too early to tell."
well in one case I had to go right back to "how do you declare an integer variable?", which the candidate still didn't know how to do, before eventually admitting that their C++ experience was actually testing a system written in C++. That was an extreme example admittedly.
I think all real implementations use a lookup table... Small lookup tables (eg. 8 elements) all work out far smaller in silicon area than even one multiplier...
Would you use the same excuse for calculators or medical devices?

The reason we invented machines in the first place is because they're significantly better and more reliable than humans.
There's a third layer: the servers. Newsgroups relied on servers propagating messages to other servers as well as delivering them to end users, and they could have various types of filters.

The same sort of model exists in modern distributed systems like Mastodon/ActivityPub. I can block a user from another server or an entire server individually, or my server admin can block them from communicating with anyone on my server.

What's missing that I think will be required for anything that gets popular enough is a means of sharing blocklists automatically, preferably with some machine-readable details so that they're useful even when servers have different rules (e.g. I want to subscribe to bans from Foo if the ban is for hate speech, but not for porn).

M2 vs M1 is a minor difference (relatively). It feels like M3 was / is delayed so there's nothing better to brag about.

Note: maybe not M3 the name, but at least the 3nm transition.
It's correct that there are Intel chips that last as long as ARM macs.

However, AFAIK there are none that compare to M1/M2 in terms of efficiency and relative performance.

I might be wrong - I'm comparing an old budget ThinkPad (L580) to 2021 and 2023 MacBook Pros here.

Noteworthy for me is that this 2019 i5 with 16GB (Lenovo L580) still trashes all AMD notebooks that I ever used in that regard.
Xubuntu lasted me a work day easily on that machine.
But performance was slow of course.

Even in single thread tasks in interpreted languages, the speed difference between that 2019 i5 and an M1 Pro is around factor 5-10, with the Mac inaudible compared to the i5 sounding like a small airplane (cough, legacy webpack frontend build).

Also here, my experiences are probably distorted by price range differences.

Then there's all the stuff that really matters: virtually unlimited multitasking, reliability (wireless, graphics especially), trackpad, speakers, WebRTC, etc etc

And with a current MBP, you really need to do very expensive tasks (ML, huge builds etc) to notice any performance or battery life degradation.
Introducing artificial scarcity will make something more desired.
While I'd never pay the $6999 for the Mac Pro, it's far more interesting to me than the potential headset. I am interested in seeing what Apple would propose a headset to be used for, and how they'd implement it, but I'm nowhere near sold on it being useful at all for the average person. I still remember the hype surrounding Google Glass all to well to expect an Apple headset to be a revolutionary product.
This isn't just "some guy claiming whatever".

Not only is there an enormous backstory attached that people willfully choose to remain ignorant to, all kinds of people holding active positions in the highest relevant places are corroborating this.

Even more importantly perhaps, part of the story is a decades-long disinformation program conducted against the US population and government itself, by rouge elements in the intelligence community.
