I, for one, reject the work of Cohen and Nagel because I think they’re both bad philosophers and therefore cannot be swayed by such rhetorical machinations!
On the other hand, public institutions have long been criticized for not communicating where the people are. Notices posted on their own website are unlikely to read by anywhere as broad an audience. Plenty uses newspapers, but even my grandparents get stuff from Twitter before the paper now, if just from younger people sharing it with them. I agree Twitter shouldn't be the only channel, but it is where the people are, or at least were.
The are people who do pay full price for phones. Not many, but they do exist.
> Wouldn’t it be easier to just cancel the election and choose the President themselves?

That's essentially what they did. As far as I'm concerned, they named Lula president.
Yeah, I'm heavily testing everything it writes. So, I'm very sure it's correct or get it close enough and then code it. I've seen ChatGPT add imports, functions, etc that don't even exist in Go. What I've found so useful though, is not even coding, but asking it how to solve problems, and then having it code things up. With Google, you need to pretty much already know how to solve the problem then go looking for answers. With ChatGPT you can ask it how it would solve this problem. For algorithms and stuff it have been unreal. Thanks for the warning though. You're totally right.
Because people won't use it.

Huh, I never heard that about the Corvette. Cool.

Apparently they're bringing it back this year.
The Vice that everybody knows and loves makes YouTube videos about food, drugs, and foreign affairs…

I don’t have the solution to this, but it’s not paying journalists to write fucking blog posts that no one reads.

Rising property tax forces people to move which is a good thing imho.

Ahhh I thought maybe I was being A/B tested.

Good to know I'll never visit the dumpster fire of Twitter again.
>> Ignoring the fact that you incorrectly refer to LLVM IR as LLVM

I also "incorrectly" wrote "target C" instead of "target C code". It's obvious what I meant.

>> Comparing the 2 is nonsensical to say the least.

You could have easily googled "C vs LLVM as a backend" to find a lot of interesting discussions comparing both before being so confidently incorrect
Does anyone know if he beat the market with this and became a multimillionaire?
In practice I don't think this is a huge problem. It seems the Debian LTS team only gives up on maintaining packages once it becomes nearly completely impractical to do so.

For example, here are the unsupported packages in Debian 10. These are the sorts of packages that don't get included with RHEL or SLES in the first place. https://salsa.debian.org/debian/debian-security-support/-/bl...
> ...the standard technique of historical amnesia and “change of course,” which obliterates all memory of U.S. policies and their effects...

That one is so frustrating. Possibly because I am more comfortable with acting out of raw self-interest than most, but it has to be literally impossible (literal as in there might be a proof-level argument) for people to effect their own self interests if they use that tactic.

It makes sense that people don't want to take responsibility for their own country's actions. No biggy, we're none of us perfect and it is a good plan to stick together regardless. But if past policy led to a bad place, what is the path to a good place that doesn't involve acknowledging that?

The US's foreign policy muckups have consistently left it worse off. Alright. Bygones be bygone. Lotta resources wasted killing goat herders and witch hunts in foreign lands despite their being no witches. But does it not make sense to stop doing that at some point? The reason the US corporate media have lost all credibility in the internet era is that it is too obvious that this is a thing they do in coordination with each other.
I have not seen it debunked.
I have seen tankies trying to say that “re-education camps” don’t exist, those camps are really just voluntary job training centers and that Muslims deserve it anyway.
Ah yes, that thing that is super duper common in normal countries. Hostage situations. Can't order a coffee without someone being taken hostage.

If only there was some way to make sure people didn't just have access to the weapons they need to successfully perpetrate a hostage situation... almost as if the glorification of weapons and the military is at the core of this eh?

Hopefully he does that later. Reddit sucks
I don't see why they can't do both, have an official website (with RSS), and automatically share the links on Twitter.
Especially since the best search engines are nearly useless for finding new old-style content… search is broken, the big platforms are broken, and random links from users of HN are now the only way I have to find new stuff. The cool thing is that most of what is posted to HN is relevant to my interests…
The right thing to do is post all updates on their own channels, then post links to them on Twitter, maybe with a headline or blurb.

Yes, and people who want to get high have the choice between purchasing non-medical marijuana illegally or medical marijuana illegally. Because 'I want to get high' isn't a legitimate reason for prescription, so instead people lie to a Doctor to gain access to a controlled substance. I'm not sure which is legally considered the worse crime.
Man, you don’t need the special K to see that Elon is not great at non-engineering things.

Yeah. Witnessing this circus makes me sick to my core. They destroyed democracy a long time ago when they started censoring "fake news", these are just the final nails in its coffin.
They can use personality scores and rate Asians lower.

> Regular police officers with a high school diploma

That's an odd take. What would a college degree bring to the table for a regular beat cop/patrolman?

If you’re not asking as a gotcha, “good police” stories are a dime a dozen. You can routinely catch them on the evening news, and they frequently rise to national news as well.

Practically no other profession gets such exceedingly positive and prolific press for doing the most charitable version of their job description. You never see stories like “trash collector relieves neighborhood of unwanted refuse without crushing anyone in the compactor”, even though their job is more dangerous and much less controversially beneficial to society.

The reason there’s even an appetite for “stories about good police officers” is specifically as a counterpoint to the continuous story of cops behaving badly, either by their direct action or pointed inaction, or by their collective activity to protect other cops from scrutiny when they directly do harm.

If cops want a better rep, they could be more deserving by not doing bad things and protecting other cops who do the same. If they don’t want to do that professionally (understandably! actually good cops are afraid of retaliation, or become afraid when they exercise their principles and find out what the consequences entail), they are always welcome to leave the profession.

Admittedly there should be a better support system for cops who want to change careers for these reasons. But there isn’t a lot of demand for that so
Nothing. Apollo was less than 1% of users. It would be interesting to a see a survey to see what population of Reddit was affected by these changes or cared.
Obviously by then it will be too late to do anything about it.

It's like when they bought CentOS - some people started making plans, fearing they would discontinue it. Others went "call me back when it happens". Then it happened.
It's actually right there in the name: Cascading Style Sheets.

Css was never meant to be a style language (if by language we understand "a syntax with logical constructs"). It was simply meant go be the stylesheet for a given website. Headers look like this. Body looks like that.

Except, they cascade: headers look like this, but headers that are emphasized look like so.

The idea was that one could define a stlesheet for screens, a stylesheet for print, a stylesheet for screenreaders, and so on.

As such, no programming "language" logic was considered, except "how do styles cascade" (ie, how do we resolve which style "wins" when there are multiple candidates).

The alternative to css was inline styles; styling but without the sheet part.
And it worked flawlessly too. Apollo was really a cut above anything I’ve seen out there. Was holding out hope that Reddit would reverse course, but I suppose not.
That's the point. Cops have guns because we have guns.

Other countries don't arm every cop all the time, so every encounter isn't a potential standoff. We face every cop knowing that he is jumpy and checking your every move.

Like a lot of news today, it’s simultaneously shocking and not surprising. It’s tough to keep a positive attitude. Every week it seem like things that, against the odds turned out to be good, are being deliberately torn down so that a few rich people can get slightly richer. Greed is killing everything nice, and nobody has both the power and willingness to stop it.
Do any of these face recognition apps work through time?

I have photos of my kids (who look similar, obviously, I guess), going from age 0. The face apps all get confused, and often match younger kids, and older photos of older kids, and fail to match younger and older photos of the same kid.

Do any of the apps use date-of-photo to help guide this?
Student loan forgiveness without ending the broken system that is student loans entirely is an extremely cynical, and in my opinion, evil move. It's just a way to continually buy votes using taxpayer money because the next generation that is indebted will vote for the group that will pay off their loans and give them money.
I kept it tuned off since I used it for my alt account and usually just wanted to use the web version.

I see why it’s useful. But I couldn’t find a way to turn it off so it was messing with my normal workflow.
The third image of Sync for Reddit that features the title “Frontpage” followed by a blank black screen, elegantly captures the moment.
Christian made one gigantic error. Giving an estimate for his prorated refunds. He thought people would sympathize with having to come up with $250K, but it actually made a large portion of users realize how much he was raking in.

That’s a pretty good gravy train and that in 6 months he’s going to try and get back. I’m willing to bet any amount this isn’t the end of Christian developing a Reddit client. He’ll be back.
Definitely this. The big thing now will be: where is everyone? Twitters active user numbers are fine, but for how long? Likewise with Facebook as younger people aren’t showing up there. Will the governments of the USA need to be on every single platform? Should USDS just make a new news site just for the governments to broadcast on?
Not according to laws passed by congress.

Clicked through to source¹, expecting it to say "...of streamers with more than a billion cumulative viewing hours" or something.

Nope.

https://snipboard.io/BCkmKf.jpg literally what it says on the tin. The only issue I can imagine is that the sample size is 550 respondents and study recruitment was biased ("hey wanna fill out a survey about online harassment?" imagine the odds you'll respond if you've been swatted vs. if you haven't had any negative experiences; and/or the link was shared among specific communities).

Online self-reporting is also prone to multiple responses from the same person, straight up prank entries, or honest misreadings of questions.

Edit: also, 13% says they "were exposed to" the topic of QAnon on the Internet in the past 12 months, 29% to anti-vax movement, etc. I guess the remaining three quarters just hasn't used the Internet outside of chatting with their family and looking up recipes?

>imagine a CEO who acquires an AI assistant

Yeah that premise is absurd. Why would anyone 'promote' an AI system rather than using another, specialized AI system to do that other specific task?
They should have promoted RSS.
The only factually incorrect claims here have come from you.

You claimed that the iPad lacks "any developer tools". That's factually incorrect, as you've admitted and repeatedly tried to walk back.

Because you're determined to be right, after you admitted that the iPad has at least some development tools, you tried to move the goalposts and say that the iPad doesn't have any IDEs, while in the same sentence admitting that it has text editors and cloud-based IDEs, which are developer tools. Now you're trying to walk that back again. If you're going to be wrong, you could at least have the decency to be consistently wrong instead of waffling back and forth like this.

You said, "There's also no way to install a runtime or compiler on iPadOS." That's also factually incorrect. I can use basically any compiler or runtime that I want inside iSH without even needing an internet connection after they're installed.

At any rate, I've already explained why none of this is even relevant to the point at hand, but since you can't be wrong, you'll probably ignore these points like you've ignored everything else. Or maybe you're just trolling, who knows? Either way it's pretty pathetic.

No. Certainly not general unions amongst unskilled labourers.

As Smith himself notes:

What are the common wages of labor, depends everywhere upon the contract usually made between those two parties [(masters and workmen)], whose interests are by no means the same. The workmen desire to get as much, the masters to give as little as possible. ... The masters, being fewer in number, can combine much more easily; and the law, besides, authorizes, or at least does not prohibit their combinations, while it prohibits those of the workmen. We have no acts of Parliament against combining to lower the price of work; but many against combining to raise it.

<https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Wealth_of_Nations/Book_I/...>

The proto-labour organisations were probably the guilds, which existed in Smith's time, and in fact he helped find alternative employment for one guy who had been blackisted by the local Hammermen's Guild (the blacksmith's union, as it were), goes by the name of James Watt. Had him set up at the University of Edinburgh, and worked on one of the fire engines there. What we'd now call a steam engine.

(And for all that, Smith utterly failed to realise what the import of that particular invention on the economic development of Britain during the 19th century would be....)

The first general unions in the UK date to the 1820s and 1830s, roughly three to four decades after Smith, who died in 1790:

JavaScript allows you to access and define object properties in several ways. The key thing to know here is that obj.foo, obj[“foo”], and obj[myProp] are all equivalent, where foo is a property of obj, and myProp is a variable containing the string “foo”.

This behavior is extended into object and class definitions, too. {[myProp]: “value”} creates an object whose property is the value of myProp, while {myProp: “value”} is an object with the property “myProp”. Because of the special nature of Symbols, the bracket notation is used when creating an object or class whose properties include a Symbol.
I didn't realize that's what stick drift meant at first, because calibrating when you turn the controller on is so easy and obvious that even the N64 could do it!

I think some other controllers will correct for drift after you push them all the way in each direction.
And more to the point, what fraction of centralized businesses in the past 10,000 (or even 1,000, or even 100) years did not eventually fail?
It's similar, though in theory you are paying the index fund to act as your agent, and the fee structure is observable.

Regarding liquidity, I imagine it's possible that the index fund might allow you to withdraw money faster than you could sell on your own, but realistically I kind of doubt it.

This whole project started when I was looking for an investment adviser and didn't know anything. I was looking at all these funds that had like 4% return per year and then looked at stocks like Tesla that were up like 45% return and was like this doesn't make sense. When you dig in you see that these index funds are super super low risk. However, I like extremely high risk so I was willing to explore this a little. I don't really want to say you can get better returns, because you could end up losing all your money, extremely quickly betting on single stocks, it's basically a sure thing. So, that's why I turned to building a tool that basically bets for you. So, it's more about risk. If you put everything you had into TSLA you'd be up like 50% just in the past month but that's risky as hell. So, it's more of a risk question than a return question.
I'm one of the first Reddit users, joining in October 2005.

My usage has gone up and down over the years, but for the first time ever for me, Reddit doesn't have a bookmark, a pinned app, or any way for me to get to it other than typing in the URL.

I don't care about all of the API drama beyond the fact that I was paying for a Reddit premium subscription AND Apollo to have a good experience using Reddit and, now that that isn't an option, I am stepping away for the time being.

Reddit will forever have a special place in my heart.
Yeah, the one ring
Kevin, you absolute madlad.
> Why the hell

Simple, if you are not there you do not exist. Go and check how many of your contacts follow the oficial accounts of your local government.

Also, the common layman isn't anyone that suddenly gets the urge to check your official webpage, if you are lucky you are in their social media results.
In theory, kinda, but you can bring-your-own client, and "the" web client is decoupled from the back-end instance.

"bsky.app" works as a web client for the official "bsky.social" instance, but it also works with the instance I self-host (or any other spec-compliant instance). Likewise, 3rd party clients work with the official instance, and also with 3rd party instances.

However, no key-stealing could possibly happen right now in any case because... the PDS ("instance") holds your signing key - the client never even sees it. Having the server hold your signing keys is very user-friendly, but of course not ideal for security and identity self-sovereignty. In general, the security model involves trusting your PDS (just as you trust your mastodon instance admin, or twitter dot com - the improvements are centered around making it easier to jump ship if you change your mind).

Client-signed posting is something that's not even possible right now, but I believe it's somewhere on the roadmap. If it doesn't happen some time soon I'll be implementing it myself. (I'm writing my own PDS software)
Sadly, they could be serious...

Then the question would become: why should the system give such harsh repercussions for those who must file bankruptcy while those who get student loan forgiveness have no repercussions? What's more: those who get student loan forgiveness are much more likely to have a degree and have a higher income. In addition, student loan forgiveness applies to everyone with the debt, not just those who are in financial distress.
