Because then you require the user to install a JVM?
I have never posted on Reddit and barely read it.

A little fun from time to time doesn't hurt too much, does it? HN can certainly sometime bring us a smile. My "you managed to make me smile" message has been upvoted 21 times so far.

It's not a slippery slope, it has always been like this. If it were everywhere every time it would be annoying, but it's not the case.

This is a more interesting take to me than others since it seems you’ve actually learned it?

I see the response later that you’d rather use whatever the team already uses, but could you explain this very strong opinion?

I maintained a 200,000 loc TCL codebase running the front end for millions of lines of industrial C spread over hundreds of machines. It was glorious. After moving on, I’m still struggling to figure out why TCL is so unpopular outside that domain. Other comments seem to boil down to not understanding the language or how to apply it. So what’s your take?
How big of a ship would you need to even hold that tether?

At 4000m under the ocean, you'd need like 10000m of cabling at a minimum I'd assume? And then you'd need the tether + winch to be capable of supporting and lifting the sub at that depth.

I'd be amazed if any country let alone company has that capability outside of maybe the US military.
Is it available? No.

FWIW, while I don't know the origin of this term, I learned it first as a noun, used in the context of AI - the old-fashioned AI, as applied to game development, some 15 years ago. The verb form, however, is something I've only noticed people using in the last few months; it's possible this is due to some recent events that made the term more widely known / popular.
If neither Titanic nor Titan were invincible, the mighty Tit surely will be.
Mature companies definitely go to big lengths to address this, usually above and beyond what regulators prescribe as a baseline.

It's good business to do this. Fucking up kills people, and liability kills companies.
“ why would all problematic users congregate on the same server? ”

There’s a simple answer to why server blocking is a feature of mastodon. It was built to handle a real world problem. I.e there was early on a server that was a “free speech absolutist” server that server mods wanted to block at a server level.

Which markets don't have those?
AI is a real consideration, but it attracts disproportionate attention.

The real issue is, as always, money. Studios used to get away with paying less for streaming content in its early days. Now that it's very successful it's time to establish real rates.

There's also an argument about "mini rooms", where they hire fewer writers to work on a project. That's also partly an AI thing: they're afraid of the studios getting AI to do the first draft, and then hire (fewer) writers to make it not suck.

A lot of this ultimately cuts to the concept of unions in general. Studios can always get somebody to do mediocre work for cheap. That threat cuts into the earning power of those who can do better work. There is a strike because studios think they can hold out longer than the writers can.
To me this reads as an off topic whataboutism. Perhaps [0] and [1] deserve their own articles, but neither detract from the overall point of what the tweet is saying and provide any demonstration as to why crypto platforms should continue breaking the law.

The Lindy Effect is meant to describe things like buildings and cities, that generally you don't have an outside risk to consider that the whole time they might've been a fraud or illegal.

We don't really need to worry that The Great Pyramids have been a hologram all this time. We don't need to worry that the US is going to make The Great Pyramids illegal (I mean, anything can happen, but it's a much smaller chance than w/ Crypto).

> I would love for Tether to die, personally. So many lies and violations have surrounded them from Day 1.

Weirdly enough under a FOIA request it came to light that tether provided documents proving (unless they gave false documents to the state of NY) they had 40.6 billion out of the 40.8 billion of tether printed back somewhere in 2021. Including the names of all the (big name) banks where they had gold/ETF/commercial papers/treasuries etc. in custody.

They're definitely more than shady. If they've got the USD backing the tether they say they have, it's probable it all started by printing their way into solvency, creating USDT out of thin air.

But it's also possible a big percentage of the USDT circulating are actually backed by real things. Which came as a surprise to me.

I mean either that or they sent fake documents to the NYAG. But I doubt it because I take it these big name banks have been contacted by US authorities that, I take it, verified the numbers tether gave them?

So, thanks to a FOIA request, it looks like tethers/USDTs were at least up to 2021, backed nearly 1:1.

Now they pulled 40 more billion, doubling that amount, since then, out of some hat. Real or not: I sure have no idea.
This is as bad as websites that use the white background around an article as a clickable ad. Millions of people click on that area by mistake.

From my perspective, the right solution is one where you cannot accidentally click on that function. A slider would accomplish this nicely.

Second-best would be showing a confirmation dialog. This would still be annoying, yet better than no confirmation at all.

A distant third option would be the ability to undo. I say distant because it is always better to prevent errors than to make the user waste time correcting them.

The engineering failure here was to create a UI that placed a new button at the exact location of the prior button and, on top of that, make this new button one that nobody would want to click accidentally. No undo is use the cherry on top.
> Crypto solves one problem and one problem only: censorship

It doesn't even do that properly, because there is no guarantee of service given by the system. Miners could just decide that they don't like you very much and refuse to process your TX. Or they could conspire to blackmail you: "pay us or your tokens are useless". Sure, someone might be willing to process your TX, or you could try to do it yourself, but that might take a long time or it might fail altogether.

Furthermore, as the Ethereum rollback has shown when the original "DAO" was hacked, the vast majority of crypto project have some sort of backdoor that can and will be used.

The only thing crypto "solves" is oversight by governments, and the people who are interested in that the most are criminals or actors who have been sanctioned like North Korea or Russia. Somehow, I don't quite see the value in that.

The US Navy has no need or desire to go deep like that. I'm sure they would figure out how to do it if they needed to, but it probably would be a ROV and not a little capsule you stuff some humans into.

I'm unclear on what your argument is - of course if you have additional information about the architects, you should consider it. But if you don't have any other information, all other things being equal, it would be rational to strongly prefer to live in a building where the architect is willing to live. Of course, if possible, you should choose the place where the structural engineer lives.
I think it's unlikely that, as a technology, Bitcoin will ever go away due to its decentralized nature. I think what most people refer to when they say "Bitcoin will fail" is a price drop so significant it makes the coin worthless (99% drop). This may also never happen, and the reality will likely be somewhere in between.
Off-topic, but it just occurred to me that the "dialog" in this article between the author and the "Haskie" dog is a very traditional way of writing pedagogical works.

Some historical examples of books written in this way are Galileo's "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems" (the one that landed him in hot water), and "The Study of Counterpoint" by Johann Joseph Fux (also in the 17th century).

A small excerpt from "The Study of Counterpoint":

>Joseph.— Why did you leave out B between A and C?

> Aloys.— Because it has no perfect fifth and therefore cannot
be the final of a mode -- which we shall discuss more fully in its proper
place.

Both of these books are written as an entire discussion or argument, as was commonplace in teaching books. I honestly often find myself disliking it, but I think it is a great way to learn for many people.
Seriously? Why do you think we recruit teenagers and not 25 to 30 year old men, who are stronger, tougher and more mature?

Oh yes, I am (though I am absolutely not a real engineer nor do I have any experience with subs) just questioning why they would need to bolt it from the outside anyways. If it was to keep occupants in, I would imagine that a door that opens outwards would solve that issue if submerged, and would still be openable on the surface
Hopefully government funding of any type will be withheld from Tesla until this happens. I don't care about the port as much as I care about anything with the right connector should be able to charge anywhere. Having to have the proper "agreement" between your car manufacturer and the charging company seems ridiculous. Especially with how mercurial some of the leaders of these companies can be.
> but I would have order of magnitude more confidence living in an apartment if I know the head engineer who supervised its construction lives in the top floor

I absolutely do not. Pretty much all of the risky decisions I see people make, they seem to be self-harming just as often as they harm others.

To me whether the engineer lives in his own building doesn't tell me anything, because a guy who cuts corners does it because he thinks it's safe to cut corners.

What I want to know is, is the engineer's personality risk-seeking or risk-averse? Are they the kind of person who does things by the book or is always looking to cut corners? Do they value a job well done or do they value speed? These are the things that matter, not their personal tolerance for risk.
I’m sorry for your loss, that’s truly heartbreaking
Stick drift would be really bad.
If all you ever do is read and never post anything people might interact with, then that's true. That's not much of a "community" though if nobody ever posts.

I wish those SOM vendors can produce smaller and cheaper carrier boards with their popular SOM installed, basically becomes a SBC with SOM, so I can start with them before buying more SOMs down the road.

RPi did the right way in my opinion: its (cheap) SBC format gains attention widely, then it started to sell its own SOM in large volumes.

I happened to live in that area of Lafayette when I was a kid, in the late 70s - early 80s. From over the hill from my house, we could see all these purple buildings. I'm pretty sure that's the commune you're describing.

As kids we didn't really know what was going on over there, but we knew it was something a bit...unusual.
I'd say it's more "doesn't bother to tread" rather than "doesn't dare to tread". There probably is not a lot below 1.5km that would be of much interest to the US Navy.
Absent engineering, an engineered solution is no better than COTS, agreed.

Absent engineering, people die unnecessarily.

Trade offs.
There is a big difference between "doesn't dare to" and "it's not practical/useful for warfare".

There have been plenty of submersibles that went much deeper. People went down 10km in the 1960s. There is no excuse for the incompetence and stupidity of this titanic crew.

Yes - this is precisely what was trialled in the UK a few years ago. You can basically take old decommissioned generators and just take power to spin them up - thus, you've just (re)created rotational inertia on your grid. It's a bit absurd, but it does work!
The ideal outcome for Lochridge, I'm sure would have been the sub being modified so that these problems did not occur.

I'm pretty sure he does not set the utility of other peoples' lives at 0, so their surviving along with him would definitely be better.

So this has to be the second-best outcome at best.
> 1. ... Well, guess what, regulated industry is no different either.

I disagree, I think the systematic failures and fraud in the crypto industry is much more common than the regulated industry. Madoff is an outlier, not an expectation, and the majority of funds were retrieved. How's that looking for crypto?

As for 2008, my bet is that if crypto was being widely used for mortgage lending at that time, it would have been just as bad as banks. I don't see anything about crypto that would be making safer mortgage loan. In fact, what I see in crypto is very risky loans.

> 2. ... Use case..

I still don't see a convincing use case there.

> 1. Data ... essential commodity ... We need to switch the model and reimagine how the internet should work... bet that in ten years, if nothing is done, we will be living through orwellian future

I don't think banks/brokers are big controllers of data. I am more optimistic and would prefer to use Fidelity or Schwab than defi.

> 2. I wonder what people call US economy if they call crypto pyramid scheme.

I'm not really going to address this deeply, this is really a political view -- that I don't agree with. For decades folks have said the US will implode. When I look around, the US is where I want to put my investments.

> why not going for a JVM-based technology?

Not to pick on the JVM, but does anyone actually build new desktop software for the JVM that's meant to be downloaded and installed by mainstream consumers? Qt and other frameworks work pretty well (with their own flaws) but I'd simply never even consider the JVM as a viable option for desktop software. The last JVM app I installed was probably Minecraft in 2012.

I used an exit trap to kill an SSH agent that I am running, and I noticed that dash did not kill if the script was interrupted, but only if it ran to successful completion.

I asked on the mailing list if this was expected behavior, and it turns out that POSIX only requires EXIT to run on a clean shutdown; to catch interruptions, add more signals.

If you offer developers the choice of either embedding a whole web browser and not dealing with platform differences, or not embedding a whole web browser and dealing with differences between the now-evergreen browser engines on each major platform, many may pick the latter to be more user-friendly. I certainly would.
It has never been about local control. They've been quite explicit about it: they want state control. That means not federal, not local, and certainly not individual. The state is the unit of decision making where they can exert maximum power.

They're perfectly happy to exert federal control as well, when they can get it. But when they can't, they'll protest that they want state control. They want you to hear it as if that was moving power closer to the individual, but it's diametrically opposed to that. "States' rights" means "not your rights".

Picking images from generated sets is a visual thing. Tweaking ControlNet might be too (IDK, I've never got a chance to use it - partly because of what I'm whining about here). However, writing prompts, fine-tuning models, assembling pipelines, renting GPUs, figuring out which software to use for what, where to get the weights, etc. - none of this is visual. It's pretty much programming and devops.

I can't see how covering this on YouTube, instead of (vs. in addition to) writing text + some screenshots and diagrams, makes any kind of sense.
> I assume there's some community somewhere where people discuss this stuff. Do you know where that is? Or did you just learn this from disparate sources?

I learned this mostly by experimenting + browsing civitai and seeing what works + googling as I go + watching a few tutorials on YouTube (e.g. inpainting or controlnet can be tricky as there are a lot of options and it's not really obvious how/when to use them, so it's nice to actually watch someone else use them effectively).

I don't really have any particular place I could recommend to discuss this stuff, but I suppose /r/StableDiffusion/ on Reddit is decent.

When people talk about Bitcoin's potential demise, they are referring to its price and perceived value, not whether it will cease to exist necessarily.

Madoff also was not ultimately caught and his scheme ended because of the accounting fraud being revealed (i.e. the fraud was not that important). That happened later. He was caught because a market downturn resulted in him being unable to acquire new victims for the Ponzi scheme, which would have otherwise perpetuated it by taking new money in and using that to pay out existing investors.
USDC is stable, not to mention you can charge in cryptocurrency based on the value of it compared to your native dollar. Not to mention the fees of using Stripe are insane compared so some networks that have native USDC.

Not necessarily. Ford uses a 400V-based architecture, but it can charge at 800V by connected two sections of the battery in series.
Right. Also I think the initial drop position is deliberately selected to get the balls separating sooner. Once they get over the hump to the right side, they make several successive bounces at very shallow angles to the surface, which will magnify a small difference in ball position into a greater difference in bounce position and timing.
Programming isn't always soulless and artless. That's how I'd describe work, but not side projects.
