Were we are ready for a "truth world" where ideology was considered an everyday necessity and people willingly paid for it in the forms of newspapers and tv?
I welcome this kind of pos-truth, at best it will make people better at evaluating information on its own merit, at worse it will make them better at evaluating its origin.
I think Titan imploded killing the crews instantly. This would explain sudden lost of contact and subsequently unable to find them. Those fiber has been confirmed to buckle from cyclic pressure. The take away from this incident is OceanGate should have pursue Edison manual ways of repetitive testing. It would be very expensive but the knowledge gather from those test will enhance material science of carbon fiber use in that kind of scenrios and design specs. Instead they prefer to fire the engineer whistleblower who try to save them. Such irony.

Now, instead of 3 tasty lies to choose from, you're going to have 100 to choose from. Pick your favorite flavor!

And, the more flavors of lies there are (and the more they are able to manufacture "evidence" to support the lies), the more effort it takes to figure out what's actually true, and the more people give up. That's the "significantly harder" part - if people have given up, they won't buy a lie, but they won't buy the truth either.

In C. S. Lewis's The Last Battle, Aslan says of some dwarves, "They are so afraid of being taken in, that they cannot be taken out." (Quoted from memory, may not be word-for-word.) If people are so afraid of being suckered by a lie that they can't be convinced of the truth either, then those people are at "post truth" in a very real sense.

So we're left with either confirmation bias driving you to a comfortable lie, refusing to believe anything, or a huge and increasing amount of work to sort out what's actually true. The path of virtue grows harder...
Whatever Apple is trying to get out of this can’t be worth the bad PR.
Skeptical people? You mean people who distrust everything? Because "post truth" doesn't stimulate to question reality, it incites total distrust. After which society heads straight for dismantling the state, and all the violence that comes with it.

Punch drunk love is an amazing film.
The comment by Yuval Noah Harari seemed insightful to me. If you argue against a bot about a political matter, not knowing it’s a bot - you always lose on a long enough timeline. ie you can never pursuade the bot but it can wear you down / eventually find an argument that works.

The only winning move is not to play. So I could see this having a chilling effect on all discourse

"rtfm" is definitely rude, and always has been. The f does not mean "fun".

Besides, it is slightly ignorant, and if I may say so, it can be a bit neurodivergent.

You see, manual pages are more often than not the wrong type of document to point people to.

`man` pages are information-oriented. You can (or should, if they are well written, which is not always the case, but that's another matter) find all the information about a piece of software there - they are references. As you say, it's something that needs to be digested before you can use it.

There's a certain kind of person, very commonly seen around computers, which can't help but digest a manual before they use a tool. Often they enjoy doing that. And that's fine. But that is not how everyone else does things.

People often have a particular problem they want to solve. They want to know how to zip a whole folder, or generate a ssh key with a particular algorithm. Whatever. Something concrete. They want to solve that, they don't want to "digest a document in order to solve that". That is not something those people enjoy, or are good at.

What those people need is a goal-oriented doc. Something that has a list of possible problems, and then gives solutions. Something that they can search for "whole directory" and find what they are looking for quickly. Something like a FAQ. This does not exist for all command lines (although the `tldr` app fits that well often enough for me).

Blogposts are often (yet another) type of documentation, they are learning-oriented. Like a tutorial.

The thing about blogposts is that they are indexed by Google, Bing and others. So in effect the combination of Google+Blogposts works like a big FAQ document.

Please understand that I am not trying to be offensive here.
Right? All the comments here are mocking Apple for trying to own all depictions of a fruit, or make it seem like the other company had been happily using the logo for a century, but no, Apple is just trying to say they can’t use the logo they switched to in 2011 which was clearly based on the Apple logo.
I've got Notion, Spotify, the app for my insta360, Slack, linear, Final Cut, and VS Code open right now. As best as I can tell, half are Electron and zero are JVM.
Any evidence we are ready for mass media? The internet era suggests that there has always been a flood of lies and half-truths and there is an uncomfortable dawning realisation that the voters in most democracies would actually rather adopt peaceful policies if the media aren't ginning up a fight.

What Twitter does to someone is unfortunate. What radio and broadcasting resulted in for Europe through the 1940s was arguably worse. Coordinated madness is much more dangerous than individual lunacy.

Electron is ok. Not the best, but not as bad as some people claim it is, though it varies app to app. I feel the same way about React Native.
Such as your IP address hehehe. Super sophisticated.

This is an odd framing. Causing harm doesn't require malice, in fact most businesses larger than Dunbar's number in employees aren't really driven by affect or emotion at all, but by people all weakly following incentives. The externalities of this behavior is where people get harmed, without ever requiring the intent to do so from anyone within the business.

My thesis is that malicious behavior by executives is in some large percentage of cases not intentional but uncontrolled profit-seeking behavior by the ant-heap that is their organization.
A lot of jobs are already human interfaces for computers. Ever talked or messages with a call center? They're following scripts and trying to pattern match your problem with what they have to work with manually, AI is just going to 10x this for both good and bad. Mostly bad, I suspect, because good luck getting an AI to escalate to a supervisor.
Exactly? The alternative is ioctl whereas Plan 9 does everything over serialized streams to files.

The serialized streams make it easier to think of these ioctl-alikes as something you can easily access over a network (9p).

And that’s how resource sharing is done in plan 9.
AI has a good niche as confidante for people with serious issues and no close friend/therapist to approach about them. This is unfortunately a large niche.

And if it displaces public social media... That is a net gain.

But yeah, overall the fast food analogy is a fitting one.

Two things I like about Bayesian Change Point Detection compared to "look at the graph"

1. It can provide a probability distribution. So after running bayes, you might have multiple places where it's likely a change has taken place.

2. It generalizes to high dimensional space. It's much harder to tilt the graph in 5-d.
Whew it's satire. Whew. I've literally seen posts on the internet that read like this sans the satire.
This exact workflow is why we have integrated Cloud IDE with full-stack branch preview (both of which know about database seed/migrations) at Coherence (withcoherence.com). [disclaimer - I’m a cofounder]. You can also integrate other seeding tools like snaplet, mentioned in a sibling comment here, which is an awesome solution to this problem!

If you exclude natural-world input, humans almost exclusively ingest stuff produced by other humans.

Just like humans eventually learn that not all input is equally trusted (for example the input "2+2=5"), so should AI eventually learn to sift through.
There is no such thing as "excess profits" -- people start businesses and invest in businesses in order to get rich. Anything less than "excess profit" isn't enough profit.
I agree with the sentiment, but a there is a caveat: not all documentation is created equal.

There's incomplete documentation. There's API documentation without examples (ie specification but no example/tutorial). There's outdated documentation!

I can also say that I started studying SQL by reading the docs for mysql, and after an hour I was still stuck inside INSERT or SELECT. Reading about all use cases in detail was not useful to learn a first approach to the queries!

So I'd say that this "truism" isn't always true. Sometimes the docs suck or don't provide the info you need at that time.
Same, never heard the term. Nor have I seen the lanes (I'm east coast).

Scotland has tons of these in rural areas, where the roads are literal single-track (only one lane wide). Used for on-coming traffic instead passing. It works fine, because the speeds are low and people are used it.
Is each core specialized to some particular type of task or something like that? Which would make this less silly of an idea.
You don't think that everyone having to "recalibrate their level of trust" in something as pervasive and fundamental to modern society as "technology" is impactful? Even just photos, videos, audio recordings, and phone calls becoming utterly untrustworthy would be pretty significant. The cost of a widely disseminated fake being low per recipient is altogether different from the cost to produce a fake specifically targeted for a single use approaching zero.
>> I wouldn't sit here and claim Plan 9 was perfect, because if it was, we'd be using it.

Many perfect and awesome systems have been built that never saw significant adoption.

I agree with ESR's observation: "Plan 9 failed simply because it fell short of being a compelling enough improvement on Unix to displace its ancestor. Compared to Plan 9, Unix creaks and clanks and has obvious rust spots, but it gets the job done well enough to hold its position. There is a lesson here for ambitious system architects: the most dangerous enemy of a better solution is an existing codebase that is just good enough."

I would call that attitude: pre-adult. It's drawing on false analogies to make an edgy point. It's not about "computers lying" (they've been lying since the first program), but on widespread counterfactual information, and the disappearance of the ability to distinguish between true and fabricated evidence. That's not something you already live in, unless you're psychotic.

Curious if you tried the devcontainer cli [1] to build your devcontainer.json?

DevPod is another implementation of the devcontainer spec, the most used one being the aforementioned devcontainer cli which vscode uses, or supplies, via its integration.

If you’re having problems with DevPod while they iron out the kinks you might want to try the devcontainer cli, which can build the images, and run them.

Shopify does this to my address. I live at 106 and Shopify sites like to decide that I live at 106 bis, the next building over. That building only has a shared mailbox between three families, so packages that end up there are lost forever with no accountability.
At this point are we still taking "blue checkmark" Twitter accounts seriously?
Am I the only one who still remembers Windows existed before OLE and later COM? The original RPC in Windows was based on sending messages to windows (and suddenly the name of the operating system makes complete sense), each message having, besides the target window and the message type, a word parameter and a long parameter. If you needed to send more data, you allocated memory from the global heap (which was shared between all processes), and passed the handle to that memory as one of the two message parameters.

There are still leftovers of that original design all over the system; IIRC, some COM functionality make use of a hidden window to send messages between processes.
Saw it coming, yet we collectively decided that Arizona was the perfect place to build TSMC a massive fab facility? Putting such a facility in a place that is running out of the little water it already had? Brilliant.
Sounds like you want to define some shared behaviour that can be applied across a set of controllers? Phoenix doesn't have "nested" controllers like you describe, but you might be able to do what you want using a plug. Something like:

# lib/your_app_web/controllers/user_sidebar.ex
defmodule YourAppWeb.UserSidebar do
def load_sidebar(conn, _params) do
data = SomeModule.whatever_loads_your_sidebar_data()
assign(conn, :sidebar, data)
end
end

# then in router.ex:
import YourAppWeb.UserSidebar

pipeline :users do
plug :load_sidebar
end

scope "/users", YourAppWeb do
pipe_through [:browsers, :user]

get "settings/privacy", SettingsController, :privacy
# and all other routes that need this sidebar
# …
end

Then in your controller action `SettingsController.privacy/2`, the incoming `conn` will already have `sidebar` assigned because it's been passed through `load_sidebar`.

Remember that an HTTP request/response cycle in Phoenix is fundamentally just a list of transformations that are applied to a `%Plug.Conn{}`. If you want the same behaviour to apply to multiple controller actions, you can just define that behaviour in a plug function (i.e. a two-arity function that takes and returns a conn), then pass your conn through that plug before it reaches your controller actions.
My point exactly. We are already living in a post-truth world in which the most likes or followers count, more than truth, not the factual accuracy of "influencers".
As a "white person", I find this movement to be quite interesting. I've often thought about how I don't actually really feel "American cuisine" is a thing, even though there are definitely things that are American in origin.

Likewise, when they said "white people food", I didn't know what to think it would be. Obviously not food from countries where white people are the minority, but what would it be?

I feel like it probably started out as the plain food that I often eat, but at some point "white people food" was transformed into this idealized, healthy, waste-free food that is mentioned in the article.

I don't like the implication that non-"white people food" is the opposite of that, but I'm not upset about the name or casual racism of calling it that otherwise.
I was making a joke :-)

As an industry we trade runtime efficiency for lowering the bar on developers; we've been doing that for 40 years now. The industry has been growing so hard that that is a unavoidable and at a macro level probably a net positive.

>Look, I'm not even stating an opinion here, I'm just stating facts.

No, you're stating an opinion and trying to pass it off as facts.

>You seem to believe that billion dollar companies are just stupid, that all developers are idiots.

If you work with developers, you know we're all idiots at heart. And lol absolutely yes billion dollar companies are stupid. You think that scale prevents stupidity ? No, if anything it scales it up even harder. A company that was doing stupid things as a self funded startup with 5k in the bank and a multinational megacorporation with 50 billion in the bank both have equal opportunities to be stupid. The billion dollar corporation even gets to use it's sheer scale to walk over their stupidity and not die from it.

> stop raging,

The day I'll stop complaining will be a miserable one. Stopping the rage is what lead to absolutely dreadful state of software development today.

>an explanation that does not assume that a majority of successful companies and people are stupid, but that instead relies on rational arguments.

One does not preclude the other, the rational argument is still a moronic one.

>Of course I'd love it if there was a perfect way to develop software once without micromanaging memory, run it on web, desktop, mobile and have it be super performant at the same time.

Have you _never_ looked at any UI toolkit in existence, ever ? Even Flutter is a better option than Electron if all you want is a multiplatform app, and this is coming from someone not necessarily holding Flutter in his heart. The bare minimum to do if you're going to make your life easier is to not pick the absolute worst option that is Electron. There's a scale to multiplatform toolkits, and Electron is at the bottom end of this, being neither a good technical choice, a good product choice, a good choice for your users. Electron benefits a single group: developers, but mostly company management, happy to crap out software.
> You simply can't skip those if you want to sell a "phone".

I recognize that's true for you, but it's definitely not true for me, and I expect many others, too. I'd honestly be fine if my "phone" dropped the "phone" part entirely. The only purpose of that feature is for spammers to make my phone vibrate a couple times per week. In the very rare (less than once per month) instances I need to actually talk to a human on the device, I'm sure someone could invent an app that allows for that.
>No regulations will prevent all accidents, but I would say the rarity of fatal air accidents in the U.S. in recent decades is partly due to the high standards enforced by the FAA.

Because the FAA has reporting requirements for any abnormal flight behavior which causes deviation. They literally prevent future accidents by analyzing past behavior.
Migrating from Homebrew to Nix and Nix-Flakes on the M1
The situation might seem "extremely straightforward" to you, but it is an expensive and time-consuming kind of legal dispute, because it requires discovery of years of business records, expert witnesses in forensic accounting, and likely a trial to establish whose interpretation of key contract terms is the controlling one. That means years and at least hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal work, at the end of which a trial is hardly a sure outcome. Unless the plaintiff is willing to commit to funding that out of pocket, then he'd have to find a lawyer willing to take it on contingency, meaning he'd pay as much as half of any award at trial, after legal costs were deducted. Unlikely the best-case outcome is much, and the worst-case outcome could bankrupt an individual.

"maybe he did win in court and they simply ignored the court order" No, that doesn't happen in countries with solid legal systems, if it's a corporate defendant with easily identifiable assets.
Thank you for the explanation, I still have a hard time understanding how transformers work so amazingly well and tech is already quite a few steps over that idea.

I think of my now-deceased grandparents. They had to be closely monitored to avoid falling for mail-in scams, of all things. They were old enough that mail was a trusted source of information in their upbringing.

I like to think about what will tip us over, as technologists. Venturing into sci-fi a little, I think brain-computer interfaces are going to be impossible for us to adapt to, if they ever arrive. Imagine spam thoughts. We're not trained to ignore intrusive thoughts. But I agree we might just not be able to handle a website that constantly shifts its content to keep us engaged, blurring fact and fiction into the perfect narrative to keep you clicking.
Fundamentally I think the music industry has long-standing patterns to deal with this, anyway. It's hardly new.

Almost every contemporary musical instrument company in the world makes a Stratocaster (or sells one made by Aiersi or the other contemporary equivalents of Young Chang and the like). But people still buy Fender kit, including American Stratocasters and custom-shop US Stratocasters.
The post mentions six alternatives to Pinecone. The reality is Milvus isn't as relevant today as it was a year ago. I'm from Pinecone but I'll give credit where it's due: Weaviate, Chroma, and Qdrant completely lapped Milvus in the open-source space. That's why they got mentioned and Milvus didn't.
