My approach, quite frankly, has been either my weekly hardcopy calendar or the whiteboard in my kitchen. And keeping my Google Calendar as a calendar. So I have my actual calendar and things I need to deal with at some point in the near or indefinite future. Not saying it's the right approach but virtual/physical separation works for me.
I assume there are alternatives to Twitter when considering how to participate in social media? Surely pissed off Twitter users have options.
It doesn't really seem like you've understood what I've said either, then: I'm saying is that there are essentially two American cultures, the urban one and the non-urban one, and these two parallel national cultures have almost entirely subsumed what were formerly much more varied regional ones. Anyway, you're being glib about how much I must not know about the various other states since CA and MA are "so similar" as if Los Angeles is just like Bakersfield or a California farm town, so it's no less facile.
Yeah. We need to make advertising it as autopilot illegal. It's not autopilot. Far from it. Also claiming X and Y but thw driver ia responsible is case something happens is shady af

NYC is remarkably car friendly for a place so unsuited for it.

The most expensive waterfront property in the world is cannibalized by 2 coastal roads in West St & FDR drive. Unlike Europe, the roads are littered with massive SUVs, clearly out of proportion from the roads and built environment around them.

When alternate means of transport and cars interact, cars get precedence. There are no BRT lanes, especially on the crowded LaGuardia -> JFK -> WTC -> Newark corridor. Cycling infrastructure in Manhattan is under-developed despite being completely flat and the availability of a robust bike-sharing setup.
In all of this I'm wondering: why not apply the Wikipedia model to reddit? Create a foundation that employs a couple of people, that host and develop the site. Keep the volunteer mods, but lay down some guidelines for moderation. Fund it like Wikipedia is funded, like lots of submissions on HN have shown in the past, Wikipedia is swimming in money. Not everything needs to be for profit... Decentralized funding combined with centralized non profit operation would seem like a non perfect but very workable solution to this problem
Can I throw my hat in the ring? I’ve been working on this for.. a long time.

Grabbing AST nodes and dragging them around is never the bottleneck when I'm programming. Cut/paste is plenty efficient even in notepad and doesn't require gross arm movements.

DeCSS debacle, anyone?

> Usenet, I think, has a strong hierarchy structure rather than just being a 'web', although it is that as well. So if the takedown order is directed at a server in high enough position, it is essentially removes it from all of Usenet - and it's not just takedown orders, but actors with the ability to remove content unilaterally.

There were some sites that had bigger pipes and more tolerance for storage requirements than others, and it was thus easier to peer to one of those big ones to route posts that would get out everywhere else faster - but there wasn't any hierarchy as such.

The hierarchy of unset was in the naming - not the organization of how things were routed nor for a "who controls that." There is no lumber cartel forcing spammers to print out things and buy paper.

However, if a site misbehaves often enough it gets shunned sufficiently through per user kill files and admins not accepting posts that originated or passed through some server.

If you were to take down a big server that lots of people routed through, they'd route around it or another would take its place. Taking down The Pirate Bay didn't stop bit torrent.

In much of the world, yes, airports are supposed to pay for themselves through landing charges, retail, etc.

In many countries, airports are privately owned and operated and make a profit. The US is, perhaps, a bit unusual in that airports are owned by governments and often subsidised.

Pronouns are generally used to refer to someone in the third-person. Most of the time they are used when referring to a person not present in the conversation.

Why should I be dictated or forcefully compelled to refer to a person by a pronoun that does not match my interpretation of them?

And how far does this go? We've already seen the emergence of neo-pronouns, i.e. frog-self, bunny-self, kitten-self, etc. The cultural shift in the past 10 years gives credence to previously dismissed slippery slope arguments.

And lastly, why is the neoliberal and corporate world supporting this so fervently?

There's a lesson to learn, here.
Interesting, but ultimately irrelevant, discussion. AI licensing is just evil megacorp's attempt to strangle the nascent AI industry, because they are quickly losing dominance, and maybe even relevance. Every logical argument you throw falls on deaf ears. Their reasons for pushing licensing are not based on good faith.

It was only 6 moths ago that Microsoft invested $10,000,000,000 into OpenAI. At the time, their product was davinci-003 (aka gpt-3). Now, anyone can run inference at that level at home. You really think Microsoft is going to just sit there and take the loss on that $10B gamble?
You have no sense that all this - for the last X yrs - has been political? Really? That the wonky (at best) status quo is contorting to maintain its authority?

Yeah, we can do better than DJT. That said, in what type of world does a "product" such as Don get the traction he has? Focusing on Don doesn't fix the shit show that paved the road to his rise.

Eliminating Don isn't a fix. Not even close. To believe otherwise is simply naive. Worse, it perpetuates a mindset that perpetuates the status quo. A status quo that has been able to normalize the acceptance of its mediocrity. Instead of siding with them, why not ask them how they've allow this embarrassing shit show to thive as it has.
If someone feels that's a critical piece of information to share, nothing is stopping them. My understanding is that he was being coerced into doing that himself when it wasn't relevant to him, and in fact he found it offensive to be aksed. So yes it's absurd.

(I'm not sure I should have replied, I consider the whole issue too stupid to spend time on other than to say "piss off, adults are talking", but anyway)
Or just use django-ninja if you are writing an API. Maybe it's just because I came from teams that used tornado and then fastapi but when I started using django which was about 8 months ago, I simply grabbed django-ninja and haven't thought much about it. It seems like everything in this article would be solved by using a simpler interface for writing endpoints with body parsing, output schemas, and url parsing.

How did they target the group though, did they just scan the internet traffic and said, oh wow there is a group of people who only talk through Signal, or were there another precedence?
AFAIK the 2023 Mac Pro doesn't support PCIe GPUs for the same reason AS Macs don't support eGPUs. It has PCIe slots you can use for other things like capture cards or whatever but not GPUs.

RAM was something you could upgrade with the 2019 Mac Pro and something you could get a lot of. 1.5TB worth. The new Mac Pro caps out at 192GB which is barely better than consumer AMD/Intel systems at the moment.
>[2] lists the following threats:

Oops, you forgot one:

>And yes, after all of the above, cats may also present a threat.

You seem to think it's very important this bullet point is last, but there is nothing in the source that suggests items are listed in order of importance. Even if there were the order is not consistent in all parts of the report.

Why are you reading tea leaves when the authors say, explicitly and repeatedly, that cats are a serious threat?
> if you’re posting publicly why should I not be able to see what you post?

That means the stalked person has to be constantly on guard about what to post publicly. Things that might seem innocuous to you and I could be giveaways to a domestic abuser looking for his victim. Essentially the abuser will continue to exercise power over the victim.
Depends what's the trade off

Can additional performance allow me to do more while e.g gaming?

Like doing some stuff in the background, having VMs, IDEs, Dockers running?
I think it is a valid question and I will attempt to respond in good faith.

I do not personally think that there is no value to politics. Sadly, we have to navigate those waters somehow.

But, if people who self-select out say they do not want to deal with it and instead contribute to company growth one line at a time, why would you not allow them to specialize in that?

Or are they just an easy target practice for politically astute?

FWIW, I am probably not a great remote worker. Still, good enough to get the job done. What more does an employer want from me? They are good enough to me that I can extent some loyalty and goodwill, but why would a company want me to also participate and contribute to its craziness politically?

<< Cliché that the best people are among the remote workers.

Well, it is that way now because fully remote work is in demand if you look at sheer application numbers for those roles. Companies have their picks for those. Anecdotally, my company, where my manager is RTO-oriented, but does not seem to want to rock the boat too much, begrudgingly seems to have accepted that for the position he listed ( niche in niche kinda deal ), he won't get a guy to just move from another state just to sit in a chair one day a week ( and depend on corporate whims ) so he had to accept that reality.

Mebbe its a cliche, but, not unlike stereotype, there is a reason it exists.
Terrible news, so if not Debian then it's finally the year of the (Arch) Linux desktop..?

That's not really relevant. The question is how much are the operating costs to run it? I know it doesn't take a billionaire.

I can't find it right now but I remember some of the infrastructure details have been posted in the past and it was quite minimal. It doesn't take much to run an efficient site like this one.
V nice. Can you hook in your own LLM (eg Bloom, t5 etc?)
Well, again "better" is subjective and you would want to agree on some metrics before deciding.

Say I wanted a low-cost, lightweight, hand-propelled aircraft capable of flying short distances indoors that I could fold up and put in my pocket afterwards? Which would be the "better" plane then?
Albeit means "although it be", or "even though it is" to use a less archaic construction.

Surely the greatest example of a Ship of Theseus in software is BSD Unix itself? It started out as a small set of patches to AT&T Unix, then grew to a large set of patches, then in the early '90s all the AT&T code was removed, precisely to avoid AT&T licensing.

> On average, buses in the US carry around 15 people. A car carries around 1.5, so the raw multiplier is just 10.

Buses in the US are largely avoided due to the last century spent prioritizing suburban car commuting over everything else. What you should be looking at are the averages on bus routes where the buses run regularly and aren’t blocked by solo drivers. That means that the floor for a bus is 10:1 but it can easily rise to 50-70:1 with cheap policy changes (e.g. put a $500 camera on the bus to ticket drivers and suddenly headways improve by 50%). In contrast, the large EVs people are actually buying will never become more efficient over the lifetime of the vehicle.
Sounds like this isn't about hosting Twitter itself, but some additional moderating-related services. That actually fits the pattern of where Musk tries to cut costs, although doing it by simply not paying bills is bizarre and stupid, and makes it less likely anyone else will ever want to do business with him.
There is a consolidation of culpability in the industrial of corporate actor because it is they and they alone who make the decisions they do.

People will buy whatever is made. "The customers made me do it" has always been a misdirection, and arguably a straight up fallacy.

Executives lay the road for what gets made. Not once has the public said "Hey, poison our air/water/lungs".
I'm well aware of his history, and it's always interesting to me how few bad things people can point to that he actually did.. when weighed against all the transit/bridges/tunnels/highways build under his watch.

I mean the first thing is a crime of omission, made in basically every other city of the country - where have we seen land be purchased along highways to build transit done anywhere in this country? Even new bridges built by allegedly progressive administrations continue to neglect putting in train tracks.

The second one is obviously morally wrong, though even that is in dispute. Many "parkways" built at that time had similarly short bridges, look to the Merritt Parkway in CT for example. Also, you can presently get there by bus - https://new.mta.info/guides/beaches/jones-beach
In fact, it seems it was accessible by bus when it opened, including having bus drop offs advertised in the opening story -

Ah I see. So non-kernel packages do not have access to native modules at all? I believe in Elm native modules were still possible, just not publishing them to the package database. But in this case I guess you wouldn't be able to put a native module in a GitHub repository and then pull this in as a dependency, which is equally rubbish.

Edit: EdwardDiego's answer clarified this for me
Ignorant, yes, but in no way snide.

Each and every point listed here could have be taken verbatim from a ten year old blog post why Puppet, or later Ansible, is the new great thing. Being declarative and idempotent is the basic design idea of these tools.

Managing every layer of infrastructure and the entire OS stack is also exactly what they aim for, and ironically also what many people regularly quote as why they haven't taken off more. Git support, and module versioning, is also completely on point. What is it that Nix does differently, and why? Is it a fundamentally different type of tool, such as Puppet is from plain Ruby scripts, or is it a better screwdriver?

That Nix is a distribution in itself is an important difference. But how does that affect the use case?

I realize the question have been asked before, but that's because not many attempts are ever made to explain where it sits in the problem space. It is not written for anyone who has experience with configuration management and infrastructure as code tooling, but instead for passive observers with the intention of bootstrapping the next hype cycle?
> Ubuntu probably do the HWE kernel better than stable backports kernel, the HWE kernel has a release schedule.

For a while the Debian kernel packages had -ckt suffix (Canonical Kernel Team), although it doesn't seem to be the case any more.
no, because Microsoft has made it abundantly clear that their future is in Azure, AI, services for any platform...

not Intel either, since they are staking a future in being a fab for anyone

Dell (and Lenovo, and HP) should be very worried though, they are more singularly dependent on Windows than either Microsoft or Intel

Do you have citations for those numbers? They don’t match what I’ve heard in the past so I’m curious to learn more.

Also, everything about density in relation to quality of life is pretty subjective. Luckily, we have cities for both! You’re free to live in Houston while those of us that prefer dense urban environments can live in New York and take transit.
I can think of two very important reasons just off the top of my head.

1. --- It will kill captchas for good. Half of the internet is protected by Cloudflare or Google captchas at this point. Spam, fraud, and other trouble has a maximum possible volume because you can only pay a human in India so little to solve them for you. If you have an algorithm that can complete it, the game is up. Sites may as well not have a captcha at all. Prevention then becomes much more Orwellian with hardware TPM attestation solutions and the internet as we know is forever changed.

2. --- It will show corporations and governments just how all-seeing video surveillance could be. Human or (by some reports, above-human) level computer vision is a Pandora's box all by itself.

OpenAI might simply be wanting to avoid opening any more family-size cans of worms than there already are.
Thank you for the anarchist references, with how conservative his ideas were and not only against "leftists" / libs I was looking for this perspective here (given anarchism gets unfairly lumped in with leftism or authoritarian communisms even as post-left anarchism is a thing)
It's an interesting question, but as far as I understand it no one is ramming pronouns down anyone's throats? You don't even need to use them if you don't want to, just refer to people by name. Plus realistically no one is going to make you use any given pronoun, there's no council of pronouns.

By contrast forcing religion on people has a long history of real harm, it isn't just a social nicety. The worst that comes out of "pronoun policing" is arguably just rudeness, the worst that comes out of forcing religion is a known quantity, and it's as bad as it gets.

Let's be honest, it's far from factual that dense housing is problematic in any way. It's just your opinion, and you're mad about it because you stand to lose the most in a world where you have to pay cash for your externalities. The sewer and water system to your house is subsidized. Snow removal from your cul-de-sac is subsidized. Most people couldn't afford the suburbs if someone else wasn't paying for those things (usually future generations).

Many people enjoy living in a dense environment, as evidenced by how much they'll pay to do so. It's objectively better for the Earth, and pretty enjoyable for the people that choose that path.

"Right" or "left" wing is entirely meant as a sweeping generalized insult these days. The words are otherwise meaningless.

Or more, they only mean whatever the person speaking them means to say.

Example: Some of the most infamous acts of violence of the 20th century were sanctioned by a left-wing radical. Or a right-wing radical. It simply depends on which specific ideals you want to vilify when you by associating them with Hitler.

Were the 2020 US riots were ultra surprising to you because they mostly left wingers burning cities and violently declaring demilitarized zones, or were they "meh" because right wingers are the only violent ones?
The 49 EUR/month ticket in Germany covers all local transit, and you can generally piece together regional trains to get across the country if you’re patient, but it doesn’t cover the InterCity Express, InterCity, or some long-distance regional trains.

So it’s a good way not to worry about how Berlin transit pricing works if you’ve already have a Deutschlandticket to cover a Nuremberg-area commute, but getting to Berlin from Nuremberg still requires an ICE ticket… or a lot of patience.
I think it's pretty naive to think that AI tools wont soon be able to create/edit photos in RAW format that are impossible to detect. IMO, the only way to verify authenticity of stuff like this is to have hardware on the device (camera) which adds a signature/timestamp/etc to the data. This of course would require all devices to be in some sort of registry, which then becomes a privacy concern. It's gonna be a mess...
Vigilantism isn't justice. There was no trial or finding of guilt or responsibility before the 'accused' were attacked. While I'd like executives to be more personally liable, the answer to stopping the corruption is judicial, legislative, and/or executive reform.
How about someone that hates both? That would explain Microsoft's rise in cloud.
42nd Street between the Midtown and Lincoln tunnels is part of I-495. That's why the last exit on the westbound LIE is #15, Van Dam street. Exits 1-14 are the avenues from the west side of Manhattan (where the numbers reset because 495 crossed a state boundary) to the east side. If you look carefully you will see I-495 signs on some streetlights or traffic lights.
Except the detail about what licenses were used for the learning model.
