My understanding is that 3P apps used to be their own explicitly tracked category with a android/iOS split but then get mixed into the regular android/iOS categories with the first party client.
Rather, I would say that with added capacity for work, what we choose to do is make things safer. And safety demands regulations which increase regulatory work and bureaucratic overhead to get anything done.

So the jobs become observing all of the laws that we passed in the name of safety and equity (look at workplace accident rates since early 1900s. Or child labor rates). When you look at it this way, there's no stopping, since there will always be more "dangerous" or "unfair" things to optimize away with added labor.

I think you’re going to have to be more specific with what you mean by “authoritarian control” because I have a feeling that there are some fundamental differences between the way China operates and the way an open source message board project operates.

If you are referring to that social media post by an OpenAI employee saying it hasn’t changed, they were specifically referring to the API. iirc, the same employee explicitly stated the Web UI version changes quite regularly. Someone correct me with the link if I’m wrong, I don’t have it handy.
I think they’re too afraid of ‘removing the spacebar heater’(https://xkcd.com/1172/).

I saw a talk at linux.conf.au about a decade ago by the then-main (only?) Git Annex developer. He was living way out in the styx with no internet connection and surviving off community contributions.

It seemed like the choice of Haskell, while novel and interesting, made the barrier to entry quite high even for this talented and experienced developer. All power to him, but it’s a peculiar choice for essentially a piece of plumbing software. I shudder to think what this means for casual contributors.

I’m on board with functional programming and Haskell is very interesting, but I’ve still never understood the decision.
This is beautiful. The copy protection schemes on Stealth, Monkey Island, Another World, Alone in the Dark, and Indiana Jones are practically the appeal of the games themselves.

I didn't have video games growing up for economic reasons, so I missed out on these, but at the time, breaking copy protections was an unoffical national sport. Imagine solving these ciphers as a kid to upload keys to a warez bbs. It's unbelievable.

I wonder if this has any measurable effect of reducing wealth inequality. Do the rich eventually just give their money away via stupid investments? It flows from the ignorant VC to this joker to a bunch of overpaid consultants and marketing execs to the poor schmucks who do something like actual labor?

It's galling to have it work so inefficiently, and much of it just transfers from one rich yahoo to another. But maybe there's a ray of hope somewhere under all that BS?

There was a fascinating article that seems to have gone down the internet’s memory hole:

Eucharistic bread was made by religious communities. Then a for-profit corporation began competing with the nuns, and using brutal tactics was able to get a monopoly on supplying Eucharistic bread.

In any case, there’s no need for certification because there are so few sellers. It’s a specialized product. It’s not like priests are picking it up at the store.
There isn’t any response to your point that can’t easily be deflected as being in “bad faith” because your own argument is an emotional appeal. Your position is that the people you despise are so bad that their code is itself tainted to the extent that even running it runs the risk of… genocide or something?

In order to achieve a purity in your view would require a line-by-line political Bill Of Materials that includes the political beliefs at the time of the coders at time of each commit. It is nonsensical.

Authoritarian control.

The Chinese government reserves the right to ban censor and shut down any form of online speech going on in the country.

In fact, they reserve the right to throw you in jail for doing it.

Where is ever an event or a situation or a topic of discussion which the state does not like they flip a couple of switches and all across the country firewalls begin blocking words, banning access to VPNs, and generally preventing those topics from being able to be discussed.

They believe this is good because it promotes social stability, when in reality it's just a massive system that empowers the government and ensures that the people can never easily disagree with it.

Anyone who supports such a system or a country who runs such a system should not be running and open source message board.
Algorithm design problems, when general enough, warrant being treated as language problems!

True. There are different levels of racism. Some are enough to maintain an ethnicity, and others go way beyond that.

> "White nationalism" is not about superiority --- it is just a "preference" for oppressing others in order to achieve dominance. Thanks for the clarification/word play.

Are Chinese nationalists oppressive because they don't just open the borders? It's clear that you have a different standard for white people.
"Zero AI" will likely become a selling point.
The academic cheaters you read about in these articles are always obvious cheats! I believe those to be in the minority, but who knows.

In OP's example, they copied the exact same lines to get the effect. With some more work they could've hidden their tracks far better.

Now if you build ML that detected good cheats you have a huge mess at your hand: the false-positives won't be zero! Are you OK to raise potentially career-destroying accusations based on a black box model? I am not.

(I could raise my usual point and say 'academia runs after pointless measurements, numbers of papers produced etc., and as long as you have those pointless goals you'll have cheats, so the system itself should be changed', but the older I get the less that change seems possible, wanted, or even considered.)

I'm torn. I despise the CCP and everything it stands for. I personally can't stand the idea of supporting them in any way. But on the other hand, what do we stand for? We disapprove of China silencing dissent. Why?

I believe that the free interaction of ideas is invaluable to society. Suppressing dissent isn't just bad because it helps a government maintain a monopoly on power. It's bad because it creates an intellectual monoculture, and a monoculture is extremely vulnerable. Without exposure to a robust culture of debate and discussion, people are far more vulnerable to manipulation by the next great demagogue or by their country's propaganda or by their opinionated uncle. Citizens in a free nation need to learn to weigh ideas and discard the bad ones, and we build that capability by exposing people to many ideas, both good and bad.

If we continue this trend of suppressing any views that are distant from the mainstream, our ability to judge ideas will atrophy. We'll be doing the intellectual equivalent of becoming a couch potato: by never allowing ourselves to hear a narrative we dislike, we lose the ability to judge right and wrong for ourselves. We sacrifice our own judgement and replace it with the shifting tides of conventional morality.

In Fahrenheit 451, Faber (the covert intellectual) says this to Montag as his captain finishes defending their acts of censorship (book burning):

> All right, he's had his say. You must take it in. I'll say my say, too, in the next few hours. And you'll take it in. And you'll try to judge them and make your decision as to which way to jump, or fall. But I want it to be your decision, not mine, and not the Captain's. But remember that the Captain belongs to the most dangerous enemy of truth and freedom, the solid unmoving cattle of the majority. Oh, God, the terrible tyranny of the majority. We all have our harps to play. And it's up to you now to know with which ear you'll listen.
Being rich doesn’t make you smart. A great example is 2nd generation wealth — it doesn’t tend to end well.
Its one of those books that has so shifted my thinking that it feels like the things I learned in it I always knew, but I'll try to write a few of them down.

I think for me, at the place politically that I was when I read it, the most impactful concept in Debt was about how property is a social relationship that often emerges through power/violence relationships. I remember there's a passage where he says something like "It impossible to have a relationship with an inanimate object", where the implication is: if something is "yours", that is a fact about your relationship with other human beings, not a fact about the universe. This idea is a rephrasing of Proudhon's line "Property is theft".

The intro chapter has an anecdote about discussing IMF loan forgiveness which also is an amazing demonstration about how debt relationships often reflect existing power relationships between people, and are used to perpetuate those existing structures.

There's a chapter wherein he describes how in french colonies, the administration convinced the locals to use their currency, having used none before. The method was to impose a debt (through a tax) on the population, payable only in that currency. Then the population will be forced to carry out whatever economic activities get them that currency (such as selling their crops to Frenchmen). This chapter also serves as a counterargument to the right-libertarian/laissez-faire view that states and markets are opposed forces--in fact it is often states which cause markets to exist.

He has a thesis I can't quite recall about why different periods of history are dominated by gold/instrinsically valuable currency vs. forms of IOUs, I can't immediately recall the details. Maybe stability.

I'm due for a re-read myself sometime soon.

>Line employees often do not have a big picture understanding of the work they are doing.

Been a while since I read Graeber's book but I recall one self reported "bullshit job" being to lift rocks scattered across a field and put them in a pile. The people doing the task thought it was a time wasting activity as they were unaware that winter frost pushes up new rocks every year.

It's possible that a lot of these so called bullshit jobs are just jobs where the purpose hasn't been explained to the employee.
For something small like a counter you can use thread_local since C11, but for substantial parallelized computation, designing the division of work to avoid shared writes typically entails a scheduling function that parcels up the work, sets up memory allocation in advance to avoid conflict, and then hands an entirely unshared execution context for each thread to the thread start function, most likely as a pointer to a app-specific struct (since that is what pthread_create allows for), and then subsequently applies a combination operation in the thread reaper loop to collate results (extra brownie points accrue when a reduce function is written to vectorize).

The memory allocator plays a significant role, since allocation strategy needs to be per-thread-/per-CPU-cache-aware. Choosing and then tuning a different malloc (e.g. tcmalloc, jemalloc) to the one in your platform's default library is a non-trivial matter but may have enormous impact both on overall performance and memory demand.

In addition, when you design computation this way it is relatively easy to hadoopify it later, since it's basically map-reduce writ small.
This is very mainstream. There was a period of experimentation and lax discipline corresponding to my own youth. Catholicism was whatever the local priest wanted.

> Your position is that the people you despise are so bad that

Well, no, I've given a very specific and reasonable reason. They support authoritarian censorship and control, states that perform authoritarian censorship and control.

They're trying to run an open message platform.

It's not just because they're bad people, it's because they support states that are involved in the active censorship of speech.

You're trusting them with a message platform that's supposed to promote free speech.

It's not emotional, that's not just them being bad. It is a hilarious and obvious conflict of interest.

> code is itself tainted

Yeah. If you can't trust the authors you can't trust the code. You can perform a audit on it, you can create a team that maintains it as a fork, and at that point it's safe.

Unless you're willing to do that work, and nobody's willing to do that work, it's not safe.

> In order to achieve a purity in your view would require a line-by-line political Bill Of Materials that includes the political beliefs at the time of the coders at time of each commit. It is nonsensical.

No, I just don't want the developers to be obvious and blatant supporters of what are basically fascist nations.

If they really love mixed housing developments I don't really care. It's not about their politics, it's about the fact that they have specifically very extreme politics that are a conflict of interest with the very software they're developing.

This note from the article is important:

> Several of the authors listed on the discussed paper are undergraduate researchers. Consequently, we believe it's inappropriate to hold these individuals accountable for any lapses present in the work.

Instead, we believe the responsibility should lie with the supervising authors. They are the ones who are expected to ensure that the work meets the rigorous standards of public scholarship within their field.

FWIW the belittling part is assuming you're entitled to someone else's half an hour.

Personally, I welcome feature requests and bug reports as long as effort is put into communicating them properly. I thank the reporter, give them pointers, and encourage other people to contribute the feature/fix. If I have time I fix it myself.

But if you act like I work for you in the report, you'll get the same measure of respect in return.

Tangentially, the time you spend learning the project will make you a better contributor. You'll be able to contribute more quickly next time. Now the project has two people that can implement the requested change in 30 minutes.

Please put in that time for projects you care about and help maintain them.
In the paper, they at least claimed to manually verify the correct answers.
Long story short, heap allocation is painfully slow. Any sort of malloc will always be slower than a custom pool or a bump allocator, because it has a lot more context to deal with.

Rust makes it especially hard to use custom allocators, see bumpalo for example [0]. To be fair, progress is being made in this area [1].

Theoretically one can use a "handle table" as a replacement for pools, you can find relevant discussion at [2].

> Suppressing dissent isn't just bad because it helps a government maintain a monopoly on power. It's bad because it creates an intellectual monoculture

My short response to this is that you can let people speak freely while not trusting them to run platforms where there are clear conflicts of interest.

I do not care that tankies exist. They can have their communities, they can run their communities, they can have their platform and try to make their point. That is fine, that is good, that is healthy.

They should not, however, be running the platform that you are trying to speak on. Lemmy is a platform that you are going to be trying to speak on, and it is a platform that they have control and power over.

As people who support authoritarian control, that power is going to lead to the sort of authoritarian monoculture that you do not want to see happen.

So you support the platforms that are actually pro free speech, that are actually not having this massive conflict of interest. You support platforms which you can trust to actually care about the values they are promoting.

Lemmy is not such a platform, you should not support it. Because if you do, they will close that door and they will empower the sort of authoritarianism that you fear will occur.

Adamantly defend their right to exist and speak freely, adamantly defend your own right to ensure they never hold any form of power, because they will take it and they will destroy you with it.
We can make up all kinds of scenarios and post them here, but that's not gonna change that this shit regulation's gonna come sooner or later.

You couldn't pay me to steal a car. Especially not in Canada.

So I drive out of the lot in my new stolen car. Next thing I know, I'm behind some asshole who won't move into the intersection for a left turn, and if that doesn't drain the fun out of it, there are numerous constructions and jam on the bridge ... finally I'm at my destination; just 20 minutes more of circling around for parking! Ugh, should have stayed the fuck home and not stolen a car.
Nonsense.

If you say that for millions of people quitting a toxic work or personal relationship turns out worse, expecially if it's as bad as the author described, you should back it up with an actual statistic. If there is no such thing, talk about a direct experience instead of using a platitude.
There are programming languages e.g. occam designed with the intention of exposing parallelism algebraically, but I wouldn't call them a silver bullet either.
