This is about freedom of expression in a very narrow job. It doesn't apply to any business but only creative work. Hosting a website (like AWS) is not creative so this ruling has nothing to do with that type of work.
Part of the reason this attempt to forgive student loan forgiveness was pretty far fetched to begin with (among many!) Is that their own Department of Education is still issuing student loans! At much higher interest rates than the ones being forgiven!
>buy an apartment this year, coupled with low mortgage rates

Where were there low mortgage rates this year?
The point I like to make about student loans:

The USA gets to print a great deal of money and run huge deficits without incurring much inflation (even taking into account the recent inflation event). Why? Dollars are the world's reserve currency. Why? Demand for dollars is high, partially because oil is priced in dollars (petro-dollar recycling). Why? Well Iraq tried to change this, look what happened to them.. you get the idea, it's partially a consequence of history and our huge military helps.

So then it comes down to who gets this extra money. In petro-dollar recycling, much of it goes to defense contractors. I think it's entirely valid to have a discussion on the equitable distribution of this money and arguments that we can not afford loan forgiveness are total BS. The reason the money goes to the rich is because they own congress. It's in their vested interest to keep the price of labor low- one way to do this is to get people deep into dept as soon as possible.
When I was growing up in the east, we received boxes of recorded TV from our relatives in the USA. I loved watching all the ads especially the toy ads. All my friends wanted to hangout in our place because we have so much movies, cartoons and tv shows on VHS.
I'm a real person, been a fastmail customer for almost two decades, and it's one of the very few companies that I cheerfully evangelize for. They provide all the features I need, plenty of configurability, and it's very reliable (this morning notwithstanding). Doesn't at all surprise me that other people are chiming in to say similar things.
Regarding open sourcing: don't be afraid to show your flaws; it doesn't have to be lonely if it is open source.

Obviously whatever trading bot you're running separate from the actual trading engine itself is somewhat proprietary, but it would be great for the community to get more of this type of software in the hands of other hackers.

Quantopian / Robinhood tried and failed, and the numerous clones since then have been somewhat sub par.

Yes! The “maybe, one day” thing threw me for a loop. I was sort of hoping that maybe she was planning on running for office and wanted to get some votes. But nope, not even that. All this over some hypotheticals lol.
> Supported TA libraries in Go. I'm familiar with TAlib (python), bloom, etc. - certain forks tailored to real time rather than historical (eg: no re-compute on ticks)

I've been basically, just manually coding the algorithms from python into Go. ChatGPT is amazing at this. I really only just about 4 so it was a one time thing.

> Data storage (article mentioned you're all in memory). I've been using S3 & ArticDB

Yeah, I ran into issues and then was like what would be the fastest, then just went in-memory. I download all raw trades/quotes each night and store then into gob+lz4 compressed files. Then for backtesting and stuff I can load these in and build the aggrogate bars on the fly.

> If your in-data memory is treating you well for multiple TA calculations (example: in Python, you can compute & save pickled dataframes - and re-read those over longer time periods)

Yeah, I have a historical lookup table that I build nightly too. This gives me a reference point when I'm doing % change calculations and stuff. I should probably have mentioned that.
Fortunately, tick-borne diseases aside, they are probably about a 2 on a scale from 1=non-disease-carrying mosquitoes to 10=guinea worms.

You don't notice when you've been bitten, and if you get into the habit of checking yourself all over before bedtime, you can usually remove them fairly easily with alcohol. The risk is leaving bits and pieces behind when you pull them off, which is why you want to encourage them to let go on their own.
I, too, thought http/2+ would encourage unbundled js, but unfortunately in a world where people are used to whole-program minification and dynamic app slicing, I don't think we'll _ever_ move away from bundlers. The build step is here to stay for most serious projects.

ESM may very well be the module system designed for a world that'll actually never exist, and will mostly just be an ill defined compilation target. But hey, maybe the next web module system will do better - those wasm working group people are working hard on their module system - and it's intended as a compilation target from the start, so shortcomings in it can be patched over by tools from the start :)
I was mostly watching cats/pets, and funny and interesting videos/photos/memes.

It was great for time pass and didn’t affect my mood at all.

If you start going into politics and the discussions around them, you will definitely get affected.

But it’s not the platform, it’s how you use it.

Anyway, I’ll definitely miss it as I refuse to switch from Apollo to the native app. It sucks.
The worst ones aren't the funny ones where the homeowners have terrible taste, or the one on fire which was brilliant marketing for a home nobody was going to buy under the assumption it hadn't been on fire.

The worst ones are the subtly bad ones that just manage to make perfectly adequate rooms look much dingier or more cramped than they actually are because they settled for the first cheap snap they could manage without caring at all about the lack of lighting and didn't even move stuff like clothes drying racks that fill up floor area.

There's a particular flat I might actually consider buying that's on the market for a third less than the identical flat upstairs for over a year without selling. One of those listings has a "view" photo that shows extensive river estuary views on a sunny day. The other has the basically identical view on a day so wet and grey all you can see is the road and warehouse roofs.
YouTube Removes R.F. Kennedy Presidential Candidate Interview
Yeah, it's unquestionably tracked what exact portions of a YT video your browser actually loads and plays. All playback is controlled by JS and there's no reason YT doesn't hook into those actions and record metrics of every play/pause/seek/mute/etc. user action (in addition to actual network requests made by the browser).
I learned today that Visual Studio 2022 has support for something similar with .http files: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/test/http-file....

Hurl seem to have way more features.
I have always wondered, is there legal precedent here? If someone were to ssh into your server without permission that's pretty obviously illegal access. But the web is just another protocol on another port, what makes it different?

I certainly never said Google could crawl my website, and I would be surprised if the presence of a robots.txt file is written into law as a requirement to prove you didn't want them on your web properties.

I feel like this must have been hashed out in lawsuits already, probably against search crawlers.

Ah yes, just have the homeless pay a $9.99 delivery fee, plus tip, plus an app service charge, plus inflated pricing in the app. Rather than just walking into the store and buying it themselves. So now that $0.99 packet of ramen now costs, at a minimum, $10.99.
I have never wanted to hurl more than I do now. But in a good way. :-)
With Google Play Services and the Play Store enabled there's almost zero usability difference between the standard Google Pixel Android and GrapheneOS.

Big stretch to say the court was doing it's job properly here
I would submit that we don't yet have enough evidence to say whether the comparison is apt or inapt. I personally think what's going on with these "generative" models seems like a bigger deal than blockchain, but it's fiendishly difficult to know what is or isn't hype while embedded within a hype cycle.
So now I’m going to put an open source operating system on my first gen 256MB RAM iPad to run a web server and that’s the same functionality I had in 2010 when I was using it to browse the then modern web?
> Where where these experts hiding five years ago?

You could use GPT-3 in 2020 but it was expensive and difficult to make it behave. Iterations of GPT-3 starting in 2021-2022 allowed it to obey commands (InstructGPT) and made it more feasible to "engineer" with it.

The true inflection point was due to free, accessible and good-enough-quality AI generation in the form of Midjourney and ChatGPT.
If you read the dissent they actually don't say that. They say that the website designer should have to serve gay customers, but she could still maintain control over the work. For example, she could require them to have a giant banner on the website that says "Gay Marriage is a Sin". So she is forced to serve those customers but she can choose the way in which she does so.

So in practical consequences it kinda doesn't matter which side won. It's not like anyone would want to get such a website made anyway.
> Combatting it is easy, you need to pay someone to stand at the door and check receipts.

Which won't help because they can't actually do anything, they have no right to actually see your receipt. They can't require it, they can't use it as probable cause, and they can't detain you.

Worst they can do is ban you from the premises.

Store's like Costco and Sam's Club can require it because it's part of your membership agreement.
this is kind of disingenuous. the "bill of materials" for a bottle of soda may be measured in cents, but most of the $1.75 you pay at the store is the cost of getting it there and storing it. it's not a phenomenally profitable business.

but besides that, people actually enjoy drinking soda. I certainly do from time to time, and I don't find the price unfair.
"Nothing more than slavery, don't contribute to gratis software"

So no RHEL then?

(Where is their 'upstream' if not libre? What kernel would they run?)
I did consider paying. But I also want to do quite a bit of YouTube in private browser tabs. their age gate already makes that quite annoying. I certainly won't pay and still get such blocks...
Not to mention you basically can't skip the in-video sponsors that content creators need to survive. I pay for premium and watch it on the TV (no SponsoBlock there), so it's getting to a point where I'm holding the fucking remote/phone to skip ads on every freaking video.

I absolutely hate this.
This might explain a bit about their preference for dry weather. Living in Minnesota, with dogs and kids, these little bastards are hated almost as much as mosquitoes.
I don't know the effect in absolute terms but certainly there's less terra incognito from the perspective of Westerners than there was when the Wheelers founded Lonely Planet.

Shanghai Residents Told to 'Control Your Thirst for Freedom' Amid Lockdown

https://www.newsweek.com/shanghai-residents-told-control-you...
Unfortunately, web3 bros pivoted to AI, which just adds even more noise to the space.
Do you not feel like it’s a complicated issue? We have laws to prevent people from refusing work/service to certain protected classes. I can’t refuse to let you buy a beer at my bar because you’re Black. So there’s definitely some nuance on what counts as a protected class vs. what counts as speech/service.
I think this is one thing both side agrees on, although both side disagrees on the effect. It would basically mean heavily reducing seats for humanities and social sciences. And increasing seats for technicians and programming majors.
I've had an adblocker in my browser for ages, but I wasn't a big youtube user because it just didn't have sufficient information density for me, even before google put ads in the platform. (Google only stuck ads in YT after they ran all of their competitors out of business!)

Finding Vanced (and now ReVanced) with adblocking, SponsorBlock, and the ability to set the speed higher than 2x made it so that I actually use YouTube more regularly. (Despite the name, SponsorBlock can skip over a lot more than just sponsor segments - intros, outros, recaps, jokes, etc.)

Any time I see YouTube on someone else's device I'm shocked by how awful it's become in it's default state. If I can't watch YouTube without adblock/sponsorblock/etc, I'll probably just go back to not watching YouTube.

The one point where YT has improved over the years is the comment section. Aside from the occasional scammer impersonating the creator and trying to get me to send them money off-platform, the comments don't seem nearly as awful as I remember from 5-10 years ago.

Also, as an aside, I pay for Nebula, and out-of-the-box, Nebula is a far superior experience to YouTube. But, I still think ReVanced has a leg up on Nebula thanks to skipping intros and the like. However, the biggest problem with Nebula is that it just doesn't have as much content that I'm interested in as YT does. It does seem to be improving, though.
Understanding the issue requires evidence and arguments about how good or bad the effects are. The problem is that several commenters here jump to conclusions without evidence.

On current projections human world population peaks at 10 billion in 2086 [0]. If, for the sake of argument, microplastics were to lower reproduction somewhat so that "only" 9.5 billion people came to exist in 2086, would that be bad? We're already putting a lot of pressure on many of earth's scarce resources in ways that have harmful effects on the welfare of many existing humans. Increasing population increases that pressure.

The Administration was availing itself of the broad authority delegated to the Executive Branch by Congress almost 20 years prior.

I would have enjoyed watching Scalia try to come up with a rationale for voting with this majority. He might have even voted with the minority.
Why would you say it wouldn't stand up in court? As long as the agent shows up to say, "Yes, I took these photos of real things that happened," that strikes me as the heart of the evidence.
Instagram Ads are bad for business
Outlined in the following Reddit post, Instagram now sets hard caps on your account's reach:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Instagram/comments/14jt40q/cap_on_daily_reach

---

An obvious corollary of this is that if your Ads reach the quota, the organic reach of your new posts will be quashed!

// this is especially true near the end of the day (California time) where you have already saturated
My tinfoil hat theory is that the administration is probably relieved right now. The implications of this were wild had it succeeded.

This way they can have their cake and eat it too - they can say they tried and were stymied(!) by a crooked court, meanwhile they are not on the hook for adding half a trillion dollars into an already heavily inflationary economy.

Red Hat's Mike McGrath explains [1]:

> Anyone is allowed to create an account, get GPL'ed code and redistribute that code as much as they want according to the license. But they don't actually want the code because as I've said over and over, its not about the code (Free as in freedom). The code is out there (as proven by the fact that none of these rebuilders stopped nor will they stop)

[1]: https://teddit.net/r/linux/comments/14l2t86/im_done_with_red...

It's clear that all the misinformation about RHEL, misinterpretations of the GPL, et al. are not actually about those issues. There is a concerted effort to attack Red Hat.

Become familiar with the "Twenty-Five Rules of Disinformation" [2] and you will see them everywhere.

I'm also interested in this. I tried using the Node bindings from https://github.com/ApsarasX/llvm-bindings in Typescript, its types look like they map pretty closely to the original LLVM types; figuring out even a basic example was a bit tricky with LLVM's documentation.
> it's to fix the problems leading to the desperation.

That is beyond the scope of store owners. They are not the one collecting taxes and deciding on resource allocation in society.
I am and in general. I've bought and used android devices that haven't received updates for at least 3-7 years. It's a phone. If you can make calls and text, it's already doing it's job. If you have a device that regularly receives security updates then it's up to you to download it but the idea of getting rid of a functioning device just because its no longer receiving security updates is ridiculous. Especially since these devices often get sent to developing countries. The entire security theatre for consumer devices is incredibly overblown. Sure there was a time where viruses and malware ran rampant, but those times have passed but companies don't make money if they don't sell new devices so their incentives and yours don't align.

For computers, it depends but as long as you're not downloading sketchy shit and have an adblocker then you're fine.

And once again, all of this applies as long as you're a nobody, which is at least 70% of the population. Those who don't work in government, medical, aren't businesses etc.
And way faster
I have found data engineering to feel that way as well. Just throwing darts at a board of vendor solutions, trying to figure out how to cobble them together into something useful. I am worried this is going to be that as well.

I'd like to learn more about how to self-host systems that are large enough to be useful, rather than doing this cobbling together proprietary APIs thing.
There was a lawsuit to stop that EO, which got rejected at Federal Court due to lack of standing. Those who filed the suit declined to appeal.

The student loan thing got overturned by the Supreme Court - that is, it got upheld at the Federal Court level, same as EO 13771 did. The difference is that those appealing it kept fighting.

So I'm not sure it's fair to blame the courts. Blame those fighting EO 13771 for deciding not to appeal. Or maybe they were right not to appeal, deciding that it was an unwinnable case, in which case it's still hard to blame the courts.
hey Forrest! thanks so much!

agree with the semantic overload risk, but i think at this point Worse is Better is applying here. like I said in the piece I'm not starting the trend, just calling out that it's already under way.
At a fundamental level the HTTP protocol is a negotiation, where the client asks (on behalf of the user) for a file from a server, and the server decides (on behalf of the site owner) if it sends the file. HTTP provides plenty of error codes to deny that request. 403 or 451 come to mind. The server sending the file implies that it is OK with my use of the file.

If the server sends a file that's on the server. A license agreement hosted on a server that needs to be accessed in order to read it doesn't change that. Reminds me of Hitchhiker's Guide:

>“But the plans were on display…”

>“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

>“That’s the display department.”

>“With a flashlight.”

>“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

>“So had the stairs.”

>“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”

>“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

TSMC gets on the phone. Calls Vlad. Says, “It will be three hundred years before we sell an integrated circuit to any Russian entity unless you deliver to us the decryption keys, a complete description of everything on our network that was touched, and the thumbs of everyone involved. Hurry. If we recover from backups we’ll never need Russian language staff again, if you catch my drift.”
I still feel a bit strange about calling someone an “AI engineer” and I think there are a few reasons.

1. AI is poorly defined. This is a fundamental problem behind almost every conversation on the “topic”. Depending on the context, AI can mean anything from a decision tree to deep neural networks to science fiction.

2. Engineering implies a deeper level of understanding. If you want to engineer a system, you need a deeper understanding of how each of the components work. Using a tool does not make one a tool engineer. It makes them a 21st century blacksmith. Does calling an LLM API make me an AI engineer? If so, calling a weather API makes me a weatherman.

3. This is a relatively new area, and make no mistake, it is a new area. 2 years ago most of the tooling around ML work meant you had to get your hands dirty. To use BERT, you pretty much needed to learn about tokenization and attention masks and CUDA. Not so much with GPT3. So it seems premature to even circumscribe at the moment.

What I am not saying: I don’t think one needs to take a class in linear algebra to work with this stuff. I also never believed in calculus for CS students, which may be a minority opinion too.
