This is what happens when a normal person lucks/scams their way into billions: they think their random musings must be profound.

Like, how would such a war even work?? We have AI killbots shoot at eachother in no-mans-land, sure, but then what? The side with less killbots just gives up, like a fantasy novel monarch betting the realm on a trial by combat? Desperate people do desperate things, and those people having nuclear missles already scares me enough - I don't want to see them with self-replicating Von Nueman bomb drones or whatever other horrors the pentagon dreams up for us.
Realistically no one would care. I honestly think some of the 'if we meet aliens there will be moral panic' sentiment is the biggest psyop of all. Most humans realistically would not care unless there was a threat posed.

I think the 'bad' camera work is because the camera route is probably hard coded coordinates in a python script, and someone has done trial and error to try and find some set of paths that don't pass through stuff...

It certainly isn't arbitrary, macOS has swap and doesn't kill apps and iOS doesn't have swap and does kill apps. This makes everything very different, and one makes it easier to do real-time rendering than the other.
It’s incredibly hard for people to say “we dont have an explanation.” Either it’s unexplained therefore aliens or an equally speculative yet mundane dismissal.
I can't imaging trying to hide a Manhattan project today. They hid an entire city containing tens of thousands of people and consuming a serious whole segments of the total US electrical grid and federal budget.

Modern civilian OSINT would have been adequate to deduce fission work was being performed, assuming no one posted centrifuge schematics on their gaming Discord.

And it still didn't succeed, the first world leader to learn that fission weapons work was Stalin.
No.

There is a lot of drama in the project leadership (and has been since the beginning), but that's mostly irrelevant to people just using the language. This latest flareup is about a conference keynote speaker, not something relevant to the language itself.

If the project becomes dysfunctional enough, it can always be forked, as it is fully OSS.
I don't get how people have so little self awareness that they make racial stereotypes of imaginary characters that have absolutely no racial dimension in the story and then use that to double down on their prejudice.
I'm developing a svelte site and it seems like the whole community is on there. I had a problem with a library so I hopped on the companies public discord and the main author helped me within hours. Reddit is mostly novice learn to coders and stack overflow is difficult to use these days. It's a bitter irony that open source web projects are using a closed platform. Google is already severely broken by SEO spam so it's a non-starter. Occasionally I'll use phind.com for dev searches.
This isn't anything. The game porting toolkit is literally just Wine, and only there to "test how your game runs." They basically leveraged the work those all those Valve contractors have done lately, and are hiding it behind a massive single patch.

They go on about how if you're using middleware it might support macos already, and if not, you can port to the native APIs anyway!

Lastly, they tout their HLSL to Metal shader converter, which is likely just SPIRV-Cross behind the scenes.

It's just pure evangelism, and it kind of makes me mad.

> Having seen a few references on here to Rust kicking the bucket…is that a risk with Rust?

IMO Rust is long past the point (in terms of real world usage, commercial backing, etc) where it might “kick the bucket”.
Because different use cases have different requirements. So having the maintenance command be separate from the filesystem gives ultimate flexibility.
User's don't get a vote. Those who would rather stick to Binance US after learning their funds were commingled shouldn't have a vote.
As a rust mostly-outsider, I saw some recent drama (of the interpersonal kind) related to some unilateral action taken by a member of the rust team without a consensus, to downgrade someone’s conference talk, but I haven’t heard of anything that fundamentally impacts the language today. If they alienate their community, maybe in the long term there may be issues, but I certainly don’t make language decisions based on drama in the community. I may have easily misread this though, and would be happy to hear if it’s something bigger than it seemed to me.
Advanced aliens may be even more capitalistic.
Same thought. I also want to know if is there any Binance US user trust SEC more than Binance US itself.
This is just a raw result of many frames strung together from a view synthesis technique, with an arbitrary, programmer-designed camera path. Neither of these issues is fundamental to the technique:

- The camera path could be anything, and nicer ones could be easily designed by an artist
- Motion blur is just a matter of supersampling in time. You actually don't want blur in the base reconstruction of individual views, as that would mean loss of detail when you were sitting still.

In short, this video is not meant to show the output you'd actually want for an application (which might be different for a movie vs. VR vs. something else), but just to distill many outputs from a view synthesis algorithm into a form easily digestible by a human reviewer.
Not to mention:

(1) the Google engineer who "knows" what sentience looks like when chatting with a low-grade AI chatbot
(2) the articles by Kevin Roose and other professional reporters about AI chatbots, believing they witnessed authentic confessions from ChatGPT that it wanted to become skynet, evincing a stunning lack of understanding of the function of large language models.
(3) NASA Astronaut Edgar Mitchell who came to believe in UFOs and became cited by conspiracy theorists for decades.

People at the centers of professional, institutional respectability who didn't have the wherewithal to step back and put thier impulses under the light of rational examination.

It's not without precedent, and we don't have anything other than second order interpertation of information that hasn't been revealed, but we do have a blizzard of breathless reporting enteratining presumptions that are way ahead of any actual established facts.

I don't have much to add except for a "back in my day" story:

I still remember when the only option for GPS directions was buying a dedicated Garmin, or paying your cell carrier for an extremely crappy and very expensive service that was hard to use because phone screens were too small. Everyone I knew used printed map quest for directions.

GPS being standard on smart phones is just so flipping good compared to what we had before and am positive is still the killer app that pushes people to get smart phones.
That just means the auth service needs to have a stable domain, not necessarily the whole app

Mastodon threads don't have titles, so I gave this one something appropriate. I am not the author.

Siderea argues for a space for commercial accounts in the Fediverse in between "NO" and spam as usual. I think it's a good argument.
I was a programmer in the 90s, and no, things were not that simple. Problems, sure, but this kind of black and white revisionism helps no one.
Agree, visitors may have traveled for millions of years to get here. We should not project human timescales on aliens.

Humans as we know them today will never visit other galaxies, but our AI descendants almost certainly will.
I wouldn't be surprised if the next big division among generations is vegan vs. carnivores. Meat substitutes are getting better, and when/if the political subsidies for live farms ends and makes real meat cheaper then we'll see a lot of restaurants shift to those substitutes being the default. so real meat will become some sort of delicacy to have on very special occasions, for those don't simply forgo it altogether.

But then again, by then we'll be the metaphorical boomers, and a lot of our generation eats meat very casually. We may not see such reform in our lifetime as zoomers/millennials start to become the main body forming law. But probably some shifts in that direction.
School Is Not Enough
It takes time for developers to get the device and begin writing software for it. As time marches on, those things that we all find value in get bought by Apple or Google and become the default apps for things. If someone then decides to try something crazy, cool. If not, someone else later will make a competing device that tries. If it wins, cool. If it doesn’t, someone will make it way later still (like Apple recreated what General Magic was working on way later).
Why would they want to make people believe there are things they can’t protect us from?
I saw a traditional gaming controller and a keyboard. Was there some kind of tracked-in-3d-space pointing device that I missed?
> Even worse: Apple can decide at any point to make their hardware much more difficult to support. Newer models or firmware updates might break things. Being at the whims of a corporation that is the antithesis of F/LOSS to run Linux on their hardware doesn't inspire confidence.

That is the case with every single PC maker who doesn't ship all their PCs with Linux.

I just don't understand why Apple has to be treated differently. They just went through a traumatic transition where they could have locked their computers very tightly, preventing you from booting anything but macOS. They did no such thing. They did the reverse. No they didn't formally support it, but they own their own OS. How could they be expected to?
Interesting point. Maybe. On the other hand, afaik they're just doing risc-v on tiny things like security enclaves and they might have a right different executable format and toolchain for those.
We would expect other effects though! Probably that's where the hallucinations come from (There are cool articles suggesting that the spiral patterns many see are due to other artifacts being altered by a polar -> rectangular transform), but there are also cognitive aspects as well. You'd have to target a drug pretty precisely to only affect perception- one would assume that the sensory effects are downstream of some more fundamental variable. Global sensitivity for instance, how strongly incoming data is weighed

I used Eagle Mode[1][2] for a number of years, and it was non-ironically the best file manager I've ever used. I only stopped because it required dozens of very out-of-date packages for its preview features.

But the point of whimsical demos is inspiration, like a concept car, not complete realism.

I can never understand the desire to pretend that human nature isn't the same around the world. I think it's the same instinct that causes people to pine for the good old days.
I think the other comment identified a mismatch there; I should have been more clear—by “online” I meant in video games and over Discord. Which is to say, individual conversations. If by online you mean something like Instagram or Facebook or other platforms broadcast out to the world, yeah, that can be a bit pretentious and fake.

> We have no physical evidence of extraterrestrials but we do have physical evidence that the CIA engages in sometimes ridiculous operations to psychologically manipulate people

That’s true. And I would even say a CIA psyop is more likely than aliens. But its still purely speculative.
This is absurd, and very american. Cute that you'd imagine an alien civilization to look at the Earth the same way you do.

They may just as well look at humans as the white ants of a potential galactic bus stop.
The hubris of Lucy Calkins is awful and destructive to society. There needs to be, at the very least, civil proceedings against her for the damage she has done to youths around the country, which she persisted even in light of contrary evidence of the process she has profited from for decades.
If a US airliner landed in Somalia, their prognosis would probably depend on who was in control of the site. Similarly, if the US was into geopolitical hardball, then a bunch of Somalis (?) landing anywhere in the US might be at risk. My point stands - injecting oneself into a geopolitical conflict is something I would not do.

Bargaining chips might not like their situation. Ask the Michaels, and, perhaps, Meng Wanzhou.

What to do about it? Nothing. You should probably stop thinking about it.
I would very much like to believe, but… no doubt we’ve all heard the crackpot theories that we (speaking as a US citizen) faked the moon landings. That’s nonsense for all sorts of reasons, but one of my favorites is this:

It would literally be easier to build giant machines using 1960s technology to land people on the moon and return them safely than it would be to keep a secret like “fake moon landings”.

Now imagine the secret being “alien intelligence/time travelers/angelic beings are visiting earth on the regular”. No matter how good some of us are at keeping secrets, this one would have gotten out long ago.

That said, I’d still love to be demonstrated wrong.
>but who are any of us to say what is possible or what is not?

This is the tragic sentence which is letting the parade of carnival animals in through the back door. In some sense it's true that intellectual humility is necessary as we allow ourselves to be challenged by ideas we thought not possible. But it's true the way hallmark card quotes are true, as vague generalities.

It does no work as a specific response to a specific set of facts, which should be determined by all kinds of specific contextual examinations. In that setting, it's an open-ended, unrestricted invitation to completely suspend all disbelief without any restraint or distinctions.
Edit: I contacted Tonic and they got this resolved. I' so relieved.

Yup, it's a version of telling critics "Enjoy being poor", which is an incredibly lazy, unfalsifiable argument. "You disagree with my position because you are broken" is not a sound argument, but has many variations (including "You dislike Apple/Elon because you are poor")
I wouldn't say that anyone's ostracizing him at all (It is on the front page...), and even if they are, putting it down to "social norms" is a bit disingenuous, don't you think?

We're not talking about Socrates speaking rudely about the people in power, we're talking about a billionaire accused (seemingly [rightfully](https://www.blockdata.tech/blog/general/where-andreessen-hor...)?) investing in bad-faith to scam people out of their money. I think that's a form of a theft, and calling an aversion to theft a "social norm" is technically correct but practically a massive misapplication of the term.
Crypto made a mockery of the authorities and their war on drugs. A bad idea lol? No, it started a revolution.
If a site requires you to create a login just to view some content, could you just create a new login each time you visit? Also that would probably kill their Google ranking.
Mostly you're describing the macOS shared cache.

For individual applications there are many reasons that isn't reasonable (performance, security, etc).

But the perf gains you're asking for are mostly supported by the shared cache. The vast majority of launch time for an application is not the dynamic linker. It's the actual "load from disk" for the text and resources, then a pile of init logic.

SVB went down due to the Fed’s aggressive interest rate hikes that left their loan portfolio underwater. “Management” or Any other explanation is pure propaganda, especially considering how it happened to FRB and how the government responded by implicitly guaranteeing every depositor in the banking system. Is every bank mismanaged? It was Kremlin levels of double talk.
If there is no discard work to do, a fstrim on btrfs will do nothing. Discard=async, the new default, should be enough to trim deleted data without using fstrim. But nothing bad happens by using both.
The project had had a string of governance issues recently. The old leadership structure fell apart (2 years ago) due to irreconcilable disagreements. Then the informal temporary replacement governance, due to a sequence of miscommunications and process failures, committed a major slight against a prominent C community member who had been scheduled to speak at a Rust conference (1 week ago). Said temporary governance system is currently (as in, should be done in 1-2 days max) being replaced by the new permanent governance council, which will hopefully improve things.

In any case, Rust is unlikely to fail because it is the only viable option in its niche (safe systems programming language that can replace C++ everywhere), and has gotten a large amount of investment from major corporations.
It will recover U235 from spent fuel and reduce the need to mine and enrich new uranium. Nobody ever suggested reprocessing somehow cheats entropy and creates unlimited energy. Can you point to where in the comment chain you feel like someone made the claim that reprocessing entirely eliminated the need to mine new uranium? It recovers a portion of otherwise wasted U235, and I don't see anyone claiming that it makes infinite energy. There's no motte and baily, your interjection about fertile vs fissile material was totally irrelevant.
For sure this thing is much better than something like the Meta Quest 3, but is it _seven times_ as good?

Let's look at the actual improvements here over the quest, roughly in order from what I consider best to worst:

1) higher resolution screens. This requires more powerful onboard processing and more expensive screens and is an obvious win.

2) better pass through. Again requires better onboard processing and cameras on the front of the device. This is nice to have but I don't think it's a game changer.

3) hand tracking by default. No controllers is in some ways nice but also limits the number of inputs you can have (unless you have virtual controllers, but I can see a lot of accidental button presses with that). It also doesn't preclude adding controllers later but they haven't shown any sign of even considering this.

4) displaying your eyes on the front when talking to people. This is by far the most dubious feature, it looks ridiculous and requires them to add a high definition curved screen to the front of the device. How much does this add to the cost? I think it could be easily cut, just take the damn thing off when talking to people.

The actual value this brings over something like the meta quest is probably, to me at least, a 2x improvement. I might be proven wrong (or they might come out with a real killer app) but as it is I can't see the point.
It's not about you.

> There are extensive documentaries predating the war on the Ukrainian Fascists that use Nazi iconography - Right Sektor, Azov, etc.

Same with Russia Nazi fascists everywhere, just look up the Wagner PMCs great SS lightning bolt lapel tattoos.

The difference is the Z swastika in Russia is promoted and run by the government.

> In war the first casualty is truth

There’s truth and proof to everything I’ve said but I get the feeling you would deny the existence of concentration camps in WW2 by spouting the same nonsense.

> Russia is taking all the ethnic Russian areas of Ukraine, which means 4 more oblasts.

So your answer to getting Russia out of Ukraine is to give Russia parts of Ukraine.

Russias actually lost its positions in massive amounts of land in Ukraine already in the past counter offensive and will lose more this time.

> Ukraine is historically Russian though the borders have been fluid on the west flank where it fell under the Mongols, the Polish, Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Duchy of Lithuania.

What is this horseshit, Ukraine existed before Moscow was even on a map.

If anything Russia is historically Ukrainian.
