Well I think the business model would change a bit and e.g. you’d probably see convenience stores being converted into something more lounge-y. No matter how you slice it, having real estate at every high-traffic location in America is a much better position to be in than not having such real estate. Especially given that those companies have gargantuan war chests, are technologically, logistically, and financially extremely sophisticated, etc etc. Not to mention they also own the fuel sources that generate most of the electricity, and they’re the largest players even in the next generation energy sources.

There might be something I’m missing, I just don’t see why this would be anything close to a durable advantage for Tesla.
I think that's possibly insightful, yeah. A similar effect: a lot of people say "Rust is bad for exploratory programming because the compiler gets in your way." For me, it's fantastic for exploratory programming specifically because when I change something, it gives me a list of the other things I need to change! That's huge! But for others, it seems to harsh their buzz. I don't know how to reconcile these opinions other than "they're opinions and different people are different."
It may just be that I happen to have my reading glasses on right now, but both of those are easy to read.

But let's run with that for a moment, and assume many people do in fact find that more difficult to read. I still have trouble calling that particularly hostile given that it's sent messages, received ones are the same color no matter what.

I'm more open to the green vs blue argument than the old-green vs new-green one. Apple definitely wants you to know you're using iMessage. It just happens to be useful for me as a customer, too -- I'm glad it's prominent when I send a text message instead of an iMessage. It aligns my expectations for what features will work in the conversation.
Well yes both. But either way, if the pilots had known MCAS existed, all they would have had to do was switch it off.

In both cases they had plenty of time to do it.

Knowledge is key, even with 3 sensors it's possible 2 of them fail, though much less likely.
LINQ in general is a very bad indicator if it isn't very restricted. I don't think it's a crazy claim whatsoever: When LINQ appears littered through code, it usually mean there has been perilously little data access planning, so instead of planning out and centralizing concise, planned, secure, optimized data access avenues, just pretend that LINQ being available everywhere is a solution. Every LINQ-heavy solution I've had the misfortune of using has always, with zero exceptions, been a performance nightmare. And instead of one big function you can just optimize, it is death by a trillion cuts.

I get that there are big LINQ advocates. It's convenient. I'm sure there are projects where it is use spectacularly. I've never seen such a project.

I just think it's pretty foolish. All the resources you own are out at the edge of you infrastructure. You might as well just drop application logs right there and leave them there, because pushing out your search predicate to all the relevant machines is going to exploit all that CPU and IO bandwidth you already paid for.

Thanks to wayland, it's about to get even worse instead of better. Linux had surpassed windows in most aspects already (and I am enjoying this - no Windows on any machine, not even for gaming, thanks to Proton), then came Wayland and unfortunately it wasn't widely ignored.

Please understand that I understand the reasons behind Wayland, that the Wayland Devs are also behind X, and that X is an awful mess. I know and I believe, but Wayland is still the worst solution for the problem X created, in my humble view.

Please also accept that this is not a criticism of the awesomeness of Wayland/X devs. They are awesome. But they also were tired of X, and the result is, Wayland is undercomplex by at least a gut-factor of 10. And anything accessiibility-related is part of that.
Weird. I guess if someone in your family is being stalked and threatened the offender can just fob it off as bullshit after they’re caught.

From my memories of that UI design shift, nobody cared much about text messages in particular, because we generally hated all of the flattened, vivid color and white text graphics. But it's been a while, maybe I'm misremembering how annoyed people were. That was when we lost skeuomorphic design, as I recall, which some people were/are very attracted to.

I'd add to point 2: I like the "restaurant" analogy. Sure the "restaurant" (most of ActivityPub) is "public" but that doesn't make the conversations inside the restaurant any less private to their participants. In a real restaurant eavesdropping without consent could get you punched or worse. We haven't built the technology to remotely punch corporate employees data gathering for ads and worse so in the meantime, it shouldn't be a surprise that many Mastodon norms are to block/defederate from instances you believe to be eavesdroppers.

As for point 1: who cares about growth? Mastodon doesn't need "growth". It's not a single VC-backed entity in search of growth over anything else. Some of my favorite instances are all about restricting growth and being very mindful of the number of people allowed to be around.
I find solace in the fact that even at large companies, there's still enough whimsy to name your upload endpoint slurp.

Which makes sense because water flows underground.
Congress did in fact change the law to specify that those areas were regulated. In the past. After the last time people complained that it should only be surface connections they changed the law to make it more explicit that was not the intent. The Supreme Court completely ignored that.

I did mean bicycles, yeah. Really I just think I have a very different way of understanding and conceptualising things. Like to me, sky-diving is “jumping out of a plane”, that’s the activity, and whether you have zero, one, or two parachutes is just a question of safety equipment.
You don’t mean ‘foreign made’, you mean ‘cheaply imported’.

Your complaints aren’t directed at Swedish steel or German fittings. They’re directed to Asian sourced parts imported by American companies.

The regulatory context that permitted self assembly of houses seems wholly orthogonal to parts supply chains for professional manufacture.
> The latter two are not obvious, and are a security flaw in ActivityPub.

Any message system that is not end-to-end encrypted is going to have this property.

By all means, inform people of the importance of end-to-end encryption, but there's no reason to conclude that this is the fault of Mastodon or ActivityPub, nor is there any reason to conclude that somehow they are uniquely responsible for informing users of this thing that has been obvious for ages to anyone who knows anything about encryption. Facebook can read your Facebook DMs, Reddit can read your Reddit DMs, Twitter can read your Twitter DMs, GMail can read your emails.
Honestly a presidential pardon is the only hope at this point. He's donated to democrats so there is precedent[1].

I have a windows gaming rig. You can download windows for free (11, 12, 13 or whatever the latest one is I can’t remember) on the official website. That’s what I use. It comes with some missing features like not being able to change certain personalised settings and a weird background but it’s 99% the same and more than enough for steam and gaming.

Enjoy!

This is what OpenCL aims to support
Unless you plan to kill USB, 5V support is kind of baked into modern computing.

EDIT: And 8-bit can't seem to die no matter how much people try. TI's MSPM0 (Cortex M0+) chips at 39-cents this year (1k quantities) might give 8-bitters a run for their money finally though. But time-and-time again, 8-bit survives each challenge. I dunno why, it just keeps happening.
I'll put the caveat up front:

- Apple is the exception to the rule and does swap arch periodically, because they can. But with a migration phase. Which they generally did ok at. Because users care about software, not PowerPC v x86-64 v ARM.

Being "transparent to software" wasn't a goal of adding extensions to x86, for example.

Yes it absolutely was, and I can't possibly understand why you'd think otherwise. Can't think of a thing that quit working because SSE showed up (surely there was something, but it was a rounding error). Or AES-NI. And since you mention it, that's a big reason why x86-64 won; it minimized breakage of the software people were already using, as opposed to Itanium.

Or the goal of having compilers support RISC-V, for another example.

Not sure what this point is making. Compilers support all sorts of oddball archs for various reasons. When RISC-V gets an installed base to speak of outside embedded and hobbies maybe we can make specific judgements. Until then.......

Drop-in the new AMD thing and get a speed bump with your current software.

Which is all most users care about. Which is why the hardware vendors focus on it.

Reap profits immediately from that and if it leads to opportunities for innovation perhaps they'll consider that later.

1) Reaping profits is kinda the point of having a company, and profits will go down if your idea of 'innovation' is 'this new thing we have is SO COOL...you just have to throw out all the stuff that used to run on our stuff'.

2) If you don't call what Intel and AMD are doing to get that 'speed bump' year after year for decades in processing power and power consumption 'innovation'...I don't really know what to tell you.

"because software that interacts with our hardware is a dependency for so much, it would not be worthwhile to recompile even if the compiler existed today for free."

Software can be recompiled for every new generation, if you want to (and can limit you users to certain generations of processors). Sometimes that makes sense and some people are constantly recompiling to maximize something (e.g. HPC folks). Have you ever looked at the number of compiler switches GCC & LLVM have to optimize for different micro-architectures? Just for x86(-64)? There's a huge continuum from "maximize performance at the expense of limiting hardware support" to "run on the maximum number of machines". Pick your poison.
Jesus, of course thanks
Google Violated Its Standards in Ad Deals, Research Finds
Same here. Especially as the alternative of waiting for damage to be done has historically meant that the water is entirely undrinkable for generations and the mining or oil company has bankrupted itself and the owners have skipped town.
You need a larger dataset if you're dealing with very small probabilities. If you measured millions of events and only saw 1 anomalous event, you have enough data to say that the probability of such an anomaly is extremely rare, but you don't have enough data to compare it to other very rare events.

More concretely: if you flip an unfair coin 1 million times and get a single heads, you know that the odds of getting that heads are extremely low, but you can't yet say what the odds are. It's possible that the odds are one in a million, but it's also possible that you got very lucky or very unlucky relative to the actual odds. You have to have a lot of data in both buckets before you can distinguish.
Congrats Jacob! Mutagen always really impressed me, and is some of the most beautiful code I’ve ever read. Well done!
If he heard it from someone who saw the UFO, doesn’t that mean the account was second-hand for him?

First-hand would be reserved for the person who saw the UFO, wouldn’t it?

(Maybe that’s why they put quotes around that term, or maybe I’m wrong, I’m just not familiar with how he’s using the turn of phrase.
Yeah.... are you forgetting about residency? Because that's basically the equivalent of having to do doctor level work at a drastically reduced compensation.

If the computer science industry was more well regulated along the lines of traditional engineering by requiring a PE exam, then we'd have to do less upfront whiteboarding and leetcode interviewing to verify that an applicants abilities actually reflect their academic credentials.

You seriously don't change the oil?
I'm sure I just haven't looked hard enough, but I'm surprised nobody's put a few of those level shifters in an arduino shield yet, to convert the whole board to arbitrary voltages. The analog pins might be a little harder.
The list includes a bunch of hardware companies and teams that most/all would agree are the most sophisticated in the world

Hardware engineers get a bad rep for being stubborn when what they actual want is just good tools…and we believe they deserve them and so we are building them!

There's no aliens anywhere near earth. There really aren't.

Given the staggering, likely impossible task of traveling between the stars, it's essentially impossible that they'd turn up on a planet with this many people and be so in tune with our technology and media that they manage to stay out of sight entirely, except for some government secret Area 53 base or whatever.

If you think that traveling between the stars is even remotely practical then maybe watch this video that illustrates the distance only to the closest star, let alone any further away: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCSIXLIzhzk
Prometheus isn't Grafana's - so you can't hold Grafana responsible for PromQL either - but for scaling you want their Mimir product anyway.

What scaling issues are you suffering - limits, performance, costs?

Exploration is pretty good in Grafana - sounds like you're using dashboards to do discovery / exploration rather than their explore tool, which got substantially better in recent versions with their metrics encyclopaedia feature.

> in Micro.blog we had to disable cross-posting to Facebook after they burned us with API changes

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...

As soon as Facebook becomes the largest ActivityPub provider in the world, it will effectively own the protocol, and then all the tiny servers will have to conform to however Facebook wants to mangle it for its own purposes, or they'll be cut off. Ultimately, they'll probably be cut off in any case, as soon as Facebook has bootstrapped its own microblogging network and has no use for partners anymore.
To try to catch hacker news up to the situation:

David Grusch, A former NGA intelligence officer has recently come forward with allegations that there are waived, unacknowledged Special Access Programs that are reverse engineering non-human technology, and that these programs have not had proper congressional oversight.

Why should we give him the time of day? Well, he was one of the highest intelligence officials in our nation. He was read in to over 2000 special access programs, and he gave Biden the presidential daily briefing for the NGA on a daily basis. He's given 11 hours of testimony under oath to the congressional intelligence committees; giving program names, locations, and people working on those "rogue" programs.

These allegations are incredibly serious. There are only two outcomes from here: either he is lying and this is some big government psy-op, or he is telling the truth. Either way, congress should investigate and get to the bottom of this.

Marco Rubio amplifying Grusch's allegations by confirming that other whistleblowers who have first hand knowledge of the programs have also testified to the fact.

Here is the article that broke the story: https://thedebrief.org/intelligence-officials-say-u-s-has-re...

Here is the interview he did with Ross Coulthart: https://www.newsnationnow.com/space/ufo/we-are-not-alone-the...
> This decision made no sense to begin with since

Again, if Congress wanted to fix this, they have the authority. The decision simply said they have not yet actually done so.
I use OpenRC to start runit on my Alpine systems, and use runit to manage everything else.

I had some trouble getting the OpenRC script "just right", and figured this was easier. The systemd people really were right about SysV init being not-so-great (which, of course, doesn't automatically mean systemd is the answer).

The overall principles and usage of runit (e.g. just keeping stdout/err attached) is significantly simpler than the whole "daemonize" dance.
I thought it was more along the lines of prove = test; the exceptions clarify the rule. Or in AI training terms, you need negative test cases as well as positive test cases to adequately define a rule.

The account was firsthand when Rubio heard it. We are hearing it secondhand from Rubio.
It's more that ORMs are often perceived to be far slower on average, but in reality, they are not that much slower most of the time, and only far slower in choice scenarios.

But yes, agreed on your comment on general abstraction.
The recent decision didn’t so much “strike down” the protections, but rather ruled that the relevant law does not apply to the wetlands the EPA used to apply it to. There was previous ruling, which according to SCOTUS, was erroneous, and so it reversed it.

This is perfectly reasonable if you look at the original law and intent behind it, and the wetlands the federal agency no longer can claim control over. The original law was passed to protect the “navigable waters of the United States”. The agency claimed that wetlands around random creek flowing into a lake are covered, because there is a “significant nexus” between it and some navigable waters, somewhere. If you disagreed, tough luck, your best option was to appeal to the same agency, making it both judge and prosecutor in the same case, and in any case is not a practical option for a random person without deep pockets, who just want to build a house on a lake.

The ruling said that when the law says it applies to navigable waters of United States, you can apply it only to waters or wetlands that actually are navigable for purposes of interstate commerce, or are so connected to these waters to be practically indistinguishable. This is perfectly reasonable: if given wetlands are not connected to interstate navigable waters, why should they be under federal jurisdiction in the first place, especially given the plain language of the relevant law? If the state wants to protect its own waters and wetlands, it’s certainly free to do so.

Now, I believe that federal government could actually argue that the random wetlands actually can be under its jurisdiction, if they affect the water in other states, eg. through ground water flows etc. However, they will need to pass a new law to assert that, instead of leaning on old law that clearly did not mean to cover this.
