"The Iraq invasion was an atrocity, an outrage that, as I said, many of us protested at the time. It has nothing whatsoever to do with current events in Ukraine. You might as well cite the Trail of Tears or the Tuskegee Experiment. Why even bring it up? "

Because there is so much talk from the US side about how russia has to pay for all their crimes, that they broke international law and Putin has to go to Den Haag, etc.

But to me - and as far as I am aware, actually most of the not NATO world - consider this as hypocrisy, when the USA never had to pay for their crimes and rather still have made it clear, that they consider themself above the international law, with the den hague invasion act.

"What point do you imagine you are making?"

That an alternative to more escalation would be strengthening international law again and that would have to start with officially acknowledging guilt and accepting international war crime courts also for US personal.

In other words, actually start leading by example of being a beacon of human rights and rule of law for everyone.

If this would happen, then I can assure you, that way more countries would be joining the sanctions and military aid. Up to the point that Russia would be isolated to the point of giving up.

Because yes, quite some of the russian soft power comes from lies, propaganda and manipulation (Putin comes from the KGB after all). But this propaganda only works, if there is truth in it.

And in my opinion there is just way too much truth buried inside the russian propaganda. Remove the base for the propaganda and suddenly there would be no more soft power ammunition and a strong united front against russia and aggressors alike could form. But currently the USA and NATO are simply trusted enough, which is why russia can sell their oil and gas without much problems and continue the war til eternity as it seems. And sure, after 20 years civilian casualties will be way higher. But it does not have to come to this. Even russia can change again - because this is my main grieving point with the situation. Because I was born under russian occupation and I grew up with the russians parting in peace and a general expectation of working things out and trading freely to the west and the east. And some years it was like this. It came different and I certainly don't say or think this is all just western fault. But the west could have indeed done better. And I think this is mainly what we have to do - fixing our shit first and not messing with other peoples and countries affairs. But yes, pragmatically the military aid to Ukraine should also go on. But not as the only solution.

That was my point.

(and I am glad that it seems, that we still managed to get some kind of communication after all)
Also AI voice and image recognition and language translation are already ubiquitous.

Thanks. So by "for future SOCs" they meant future iterations of Apple Silicon. And you think the use case the gp means is GPU support? I'm not sure I agree thats what they meant.
If I'm understanding correct, the major change here for Rust users (rather than people who hack on the compiler) is that mutable references will not be considered to be "interfering" with other references being made at the same time until they're actually written to for the first time. This makes intuitive sense to me, but I suspect that there may be a bit of concern that this will make things more confusing when reading code and trying to understand what's going on. I'd be lying if I said that thought didn't occur to me, but at this point being surprised at how much I end up liking the way things turned out has become the norm for me; I remember having misgivings about nested import paths (rather than only being able to use `{`...`}` at the very end), match ergonomics, and `.await` as a postfix keyword but pretty quickly became glad they decided things the way they did after using each of them a bit when they finally got stabilized. I think I did realize that I'd like NLL (i.e. the borrow checker detecting the final use of a reference and not considering it as conflicting for the remainder of the scope) before it landed, but I know a lot of people had misgivings about that as well. I imagine this will be one of those things that in a few years will seem weird it wasn't always how it worked!

They decided to chase TikTok and host a shitload of video content. Video storage and delivery is way more expensive than text-only or even text and images.

Congratulations Reddit! You pulled in users with no good way to cover the costs of those users.

Maybe try something like normalisation-by-evaluation, but if you go to look up a free variable, replace that lookup with a little bit of syntax tree instead?
I think it is also worth adding that there is good evidence of some lab leaks that caused pandemics in the past.

See for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_United_Kingdom_foot-and-m...

In my opinion, gain of function is too dangerous with current security measures, and we should consider a moratorium. Lab biocontainment is exceptionally hard.
> nationwide exams do approach it more than other alternatives

Single-shot standardized exams are well documented at not working. It's a top-down call for a commoditised body of knowledge expressed through a skill that can and is gamed. It's illusory because you could get approximately the same results with a random-number memorization contest or board game. It's an artificial bottleneck designed to filter, almost nothing more. (In fact, by forcing this commoditization you starve the labour force of chance at meaningful early differentiation.)

You tend to find these tests deployed and celebrated in systems with a decidedly non-meritocratic political core, in large part to distract from the fact that the rulers' kids' scores don't matter.

I say this, by the way, as someone who excels at tests. And I'm not criticizing examination broadly.
They would have had to have seen it over by the pilots knee, known that that stick was active, and known that the aircraft had switched automatically to ALT2 in the middle of trying to figure out the equipment problem that caused the initial instrument problem.

Normally a full back stick command wouldn’t have stalled the aircraft, but because the airplane entered ALT2 mode automatically the stick allowed the pilot to do something that normally wouldn’t happen. If the pilot had done exactly what he did 5 minutes earlier, the exact same command would have not led to a crash.

In other words, the main control device for the aircraft can do something different depending on circumstance.

This would be like a car steering wheel becoming twice as sensitive when the speedometer malfunctions.

The idea is that, yes, the pilots were trained on this, so it’s their fault no matter how complex the system is.
IPs is only part of their issues.

BIGGER is that managing huge datasets are expensive.
I have been explaining.

I am not arguing.

It is fine by me for us to have differences of opinion.
Well you're right it can still happen, but in those cases it's still on the individual to not go through with it. If they do, then they receive whatever consequences are socially agreed upon. But making sure that nobody can ever be in that situation seems like assuming failure from the start which greatly reduces overall freedom people have in life.

And sure in cases where the results are unthinkable, e.g. mass shootings it makes sense to be preventative, e.g. controlling gun sales. But if we're talking about cheating on exams, that really doesn't make any sense. I mean worse case, the person passes knowing nothing and then first day on their job it becomes apparent they don't know jack and get fired. If they can do the job fine despite cheating then clearly the exam was pointless. Hardly justified to take down communications for the entire region.
Discord will probably piss off their userbase in a similar way to Reddit soon enough.
Exactly. The lab leak theory is a story of cherry picking evidence to match your conclusion.

Why was the wet market on the other side of the city the only identified outbreak site if it came from the lab? There were/are many markets on the other side of the river that would be much more relevant to residents living and working on that side.

People looking up flu symptoms in the middle of winter is not evidence of anything abnormal.

I don’t understand the intellectual effort going into the lab leak theory… it feels like some kind of state run propaganda piece, I assume to just keep a negative view on China in people’s minds. It’s crazy given that whatever the truth there is no consequence… literally an inconsequential endeavour
For me coffee details look better on AVIF, spoon and receipt do lose some texture

Ignore ideas, notice problems. If you focus on that, profitable startup ideas will come from noticing small, repeatable annoyances.

Cool ideas are the bane of startups. What you need are problems that lack sufficient solutions. Sometimes a solution does exist but not for certain groups or only at certain budget levels - that's a startup! Flow like water to fill gaps in the market.
The trick is the end user of the third party app doesn’t have to pay. The app developer is the one being charged by Reddit.

If you have 10,000 users that Reddit in 30 days is going to charge you $250,000 per month to continue allowing your third party app to operate and you only had 5-10% of your users paying for a premium version you could see how that becomes somewhat unreasonable.

A bit more of a heads up is all the Apollo developer wanted. He understood that the API no longer being free is reasonable. The timing is what he objects. No assistance in allowing premium Reddit accounts that use Third Party Apps to cover API costs, etc.
"Military state" does not mean "spends a lot on the military". It means that the military controls decisions (either overtly or covertly). That's not the case for the US, no matter how big the military budget is.
This a 1000 times. Those kind of articles are just rich people showing off, seeking attention, they must have indeed a miserably or fake life to even think that other cares about the brand of their shoes or mattresses (except other equally unhappy people. A shoe is a shoe, a mattress is a mattress, a sofa is a sofa. There's more important things in life that those details.
That doesn’t sound very far away from how Apollo/etc work today - you authenticate the app with Reddit via oauth and it accesses the api as you.

Reddit already implements some features only when you’ve paid (eg you get access to the lounge when you have gold active), so I don’t imagine it would be a massive stretch to just prevent all access to the api to users without gold.

Though it does prompt the question of why they took the path they have, instead of trying to charge users. I guess their goal is really to get rid of 3rd party clients.

Many clear examples of it being used to coordinate in opposition to fiat because the governments can't be trusted. And it's working far as I can tell. We just don't hear about it in the first world because our culture is so apathetic about anything happening in poverty oppressed nations.

Worth adding I'm not pro-crypto or anti-government. For transparency I have less than $10 grand in crypto which is no big deal for me to lose overnight. I think there is a good enough case to invest but not enough to make it large part of my portfolio. I don't believe the hype but also think throwing it out with the bathwater is likewise unnecessarily absolutist.

"People who don't agree with the politics of it will avoid it because they don't want to be associated with those politics"

Tell that from the majority of crypto users who reside in the third world and derive actual value from it. They are not politically homogenous (leftists and rightists use crypto on the third world) and most probably don't care much for decentralization as a means of political action. They just want something that works and is less corrupt than the incumbent system.

What you're describing is illegal under the conditions you've outlined. There is no reasonable suspicion or ethical justification for bugging Angela Merkel's phone -- comparing it to regular detective work is ridiculous. It's just one part of the unethical anarchy at the heart of the supposed international "order", where most countries are just trying to get ahead of the other guys -- but the US is the most pompous in pretending its actions are uniquely principled and those of others are uniquely nefarious. It's ironic on a scale not seen before in all human history.

Free countries have the greatest need to properly "educate" the population that it's all just prudent and good, actually -- and the US has done an excellent job at that.

I saw an interview with a virologist, but I don't remember where (somewhere on YouTube). He said that there _is_ a moratorium on gain of function research, but that it's a joke because virology is pretty much about studying gain of function.
Saying that DEFLATE is mediocre is absurd. There's a reason it's still in use after 30 years (and it's not merely inertia). Before zstandard arrived to the scene there was literally nothing able to achieve the same ratio as deflate without taking 10x longer.

This is unlike WMA/WMV which, I agree, were pretty much already obsolete by the time they came out.
It's a review of a particular 10-month dataset. I'm making a comment about the framing of the article vs reality which might lead to misleading conclusions. Not claiming that Tesla (or any automated driving system) has never had fatal crashes, which is obviously not the case.

You said that "the entire rest of the auto industry, worldwide has fewer advanced driver deaths than Tesla, despite millions more cars on the road", what are your sources for that? Do you have numbers on non-Tesla L2 cars on the road to compare?
1. CPAs are more credentialed than general accountants.

You really missed the whole point of their post didn't you? If we are going to allow a BSL-4 lab to exist and introduce the risk of possible leaks or other problems, we need to get something in return. That "something" needs to be more than what other lower security labs can already do. It is fascinating that a lab which was supposedly researching coronavirsuses for so long (and which may have led to the outbreak, but regardless) was unable to do anything that other labs could not.

I think the Unabomber would posit that a society that is complex enough to produce something as advanced as anti-biotics inherently causes human beings to lose their local autonomy and freedom (and by extension their dignity and happiness) due to the rigid organization such a system requires.

Huh? That's what the whole conversation was about. How other parties, Adobe, Google, etc could bypass them if they allowed a new rule that made facebook happy to be a native app.

Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn't. I figured that out after spending some time writing software for a highly domain-heavy software company - think half the employees are physics or chemistry PhDs, top brass is old-school classical engineering but also familiar with modern software methodologies.

Since I was building components primarily doing data exchange or other generic software work, unrelated to the domains the company was targeting, I thought I could get away with minimum, surface-level domain knowledge. And technically, this was true - my work never really required understanding any of the complex non-software stuff the PhDs were discussing. But on a more fuzzy, emotional level, it was a different story. Being unable to understand the point of half of the conversations I hear, or even keep track of the acronyms and terminology used, was very draining and demoralizing. And sometimes it would, indeed, make me guess badly about which parts of my work were most important, as I didn't fully know the path connecting my purely software work in the bowels of our product, to the value the software generated for the customers.

So my advice is, domain knowledge matters even if you're separated from it by half a dozen layers of abstraction and only doing pure computer stuff.

Old games were notorious for that sort of thing. Even though I am quite fond of the ideas behind many older games, I don't play them because many of them are arbitrarily punishing. To give you an idea of what I mean: I loved the old text adventure games, but won't play them to avoid loosing my nostalgic joy. On the other hand, I will play modern text adventures since they play off of those nostalgic feelings in a good way. (Many modern authors subscribe to game design rules to avoid the scenario you desribed.)
