I have an alternative theory for this. Once Elon was forced by the DE court to buy Twitter, he went to autocrats and dictators with money and told them he'd burn Twitter to the ground on their behalf for 44B.

No Twitter, no Arab Spring. No live updates of disasters, no need to shutdown the internet to prevent dissenting voices from spreading.
Cool callout, super interesting justification[1], had no idea.

I believe you and the author are describing two different types of students. The author describes students who want to work and succeed but are unable to cope with "real-world problems rather than contrived academic examples," whereas you seem to point to students who want instead to luxuriate in their self-perceived social class.
> And all it takes is one state to pass one and they're in the same situation as the gays. Their reasoning isn't all that distinct, Row, Loving, and Obergefell are all based on the constitutional protection that is now gone. If such a law was passed it would be upheld as constitutional. And Thomas knows this which is why in the opinion he invented some flimsy reasoning as to why interracial marriage has some deeper history in the US than gays being life partners.

When the 14th Amendment was being proposed and ratified, there was a lot of debate about whether it entailed a constitutional right to interracial marriage. Its opponents argued that it did, and – since they believed that interracial marriage was a bad thing that ought to be illegal – they therefore argued the Amendment should be rejected. Most of its supporters agreed with its opponents that interracial marriage was a bad thing that ought to be illegal; but they disagreed that the text of the 14th Amendment entailed any constitutional right to it. (There were likely some 14th Amendment supporters who did believe that it implied a constitutional right to interracial marriage–but they were smart enough to keep their mouths shut, they didn't want to hurt its chances.) So, Loving v Virginia would not have been that surprising to people alive at the time of Amendment's adoption, because it was simply a consequence predicted by some at the time eventually coming to pass.

But I don't think anyone in 1866–1868 could have foreseen Roe or Obergefell. Therefore, it is arguable that Loving possesses a textual-historical plausibility (it is what some people thought the text meant at the time of its adoption) which Roe and Obergefell lack (nobody at the time of the text's adoption would have ever thought it meant either.)

So, if someone has a judicial philosophy which puts a great deal of emphasis on how the text was understood at the time of its adoption, they do have a rational basis for distinguishing Loving from Roe and Obergefell.
Meanwhile, France made mutuelle (half of the healthcare) mandatorily paid by employers. When you leave, you can keep it for a time, but it’s essentially paid by the employer…

To the best of my mind there is not a developmental need or even a market demand for war crimes and genocide. I really have no idea what kind of equivocation you are trying to make.
Or maybe they realize that once there is "Ivy League" on your resume, you pretty much cannot fail at life and will always find a good job no matter what, so might as well have a good time, instead of spending all your free time studying in pursuit of prestige.
> So, we have found that that really IS correct, though perhaps not in the ways you might think.

I was replying more to the idea there's all this costly legacy IO.

I guess you aren't the first to try different geometries or power delivery or cabling either. There's been lots of little opencompute-type efforts and startups come and go. I'm skeptical there's a lot in it in a significant niche that does not already do these things, but you don't need to convince me. Although if you did want to you could show some comparative density numbers. What can you fit, 2048 cores, 32TB, and push 15kW through a rack?
Silica dust particles of 10 microns are dangerous to breath. So there is a limit on how small the rocks can be crushed before beaches become a heath hazard.
I have an idea. We should create a scaping system that scrapes all tweets and makes them availabe so that people are able to see what other people think they are linking to when they link to a broken Twitter page. /s

Either that or people should stop linking to broken pages.
Shhhh! lets all just go along until they switch off 3rd party cookies, then we can switch off this abomination without "breaking" the web.
I'm tempted to point this at the Linux kernel repo and tell it to convert it "to work on Windows" and see what happens...
Great, detailed and not fawning review of a topic too often discussed from ideological vantage points
Suppose you post a product initially and the listing is all messed up. Clearly the wrong dimensions etc. But some people buy it and it's a decent product so it gets good reviews. Now you notice the problems with the listing and want to correct them. Can you?
College is the time to fail if you’re going to do it, enjoy the freedom.

I think for most TV shows even GPT-4 would struggle with things like having enough context.

But I did run into one TV show that had good reviews, but seemed like it may actually have been written by an LLM that had been trained on fan-fiction or something. "A Discovery of Witches".
It would be ironic if he did work extremely hhard and gave you this perception of effortlessness.

seems a lot of people confound funding and founding, he was one of Tesla's early funders, but he was not part of the team that founded it.

> he sank an initial investment of more than $6 million into Tesla, which was then not much more than a pair of founders and a vision of electric sports cars.

This isn't off-topic. I find your recommendation very therapeutic to watch.
"An inconvenient truth" and Greta Thunberg hardly had any effect in changing policy.

So don't tell me the lies of the oil companies had any effect on policy. Congress saw the conflict of interest, but didn't want to do anything that raise gas prices.
Sure there are people like you paint. But this is a wide psychological phenomena that comes up in all spectrums of privilege. Impostor syndrome, the “gifted kid” memes with chronic anxiety, and here students who start flailing once the non-structured life of adulthood creeps up on them.
This is the same way that one weighs LSD that is on paper, unfortunately. Thus a lot of paper with very little LSD on it is worse than a little bit of paper with a lot of LSD on it.
> You have an odd view of Republicans like they're some salt of the earth grass roots folks and not half of the country's political and economic elite.

It’s not 1985. The country’s economic centers are in blue urban areas, and the country’s economic elites are overwhelmingly social liberals and libertarians. Wall Street gave overwhelmingly to Clinton and Biden over Trump: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/28/wall-street-spends-74-millio.... And even the ones that are nominally republicans, like Chris Christie, are antagonistic to the cultural conservative wing of the party, in which Thomas has become prominent. Religious conservatism is the norm in the Georgia low country where Thomas is from. But it won’t get you anywhere on Wall Street, Silicon Valley, etc.—where the money and power are.

> Not two days ago was a prominent Republican gay man who wasted 7 years of his life trying and failing to get Republicans to not hate him.

> No he's a pick me because he's throwing his weight behind a party that won't hesitate to stab him in the back once he doesn't have anything to offer them anymore.

Your pitch seems to be that Thomas should support the whites who hate the value system of people in his community, based on vague fear mongering about the whites who share their values. “Your grandmother is a bigot, vote for us” isn’t as compelling as you seem to think.

> I would love if there was a party that was Republican but dropped all the stupid social issue stuff.

That party would be white as hell, and unviable given changing demographics. My Bangladeshi immigrant family has zero interest in small government or deregulation. But trying to teach kids that marriage is about “love” rather than procreation will get a lot of them worked up: https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/06/27/muslim-o...
I agree with the sentiment and that of grandparent. But I take issue with the notion of fulfillment. I think we ought to strive to do things that drain us. You can't fulfill yourself continuously. You can't learn if your head is full. We have this 'my heart if full' turn of phrase that makes the next sentence confusing, but you can't love if your heart is full (of things you hold on to).

Same thing with trying to leave a legacy, or trying to make an impact. If you decide some thing or another is a goal, with the best altruistic reasoning, you're still first choosing something to hold on to, and then putting effort into attaching more and more to that.

We need to perform life because we are living beings. We go through the acts of nourishment and socialization because we are at that stage, being people on Earth. But seeking any personally chosen result or goal is self delusion. Letting go of what I think is the right thing, and pouring myself into my life, as I interact with others and gain opportunities to listen to them, work alongside them, decide together what to do and do it. I am alive because the universe pours into me. I need to pour forth. That's how things flow through their natural progression.
Sure, maybe? We (or at least I) know little about the actual problem here, and metaphors only go so far. But to my mind, "too many things trying to handle a request" gets a cool name because it is a fairly narrow and unusual problem, whereas "too many requests" goes by many names (DoS, hammering, flood, etc) because it's depressingly common.
Which one of those did calling a cave-diving child rescuer a pedo fall under?
It was always the only end game. AI on quantum computers is the ultimate computing technology — basically the final research technology in our made up little game of Civilization.

Anytime you create technology that sufficiently replicates the creators, you end up with the spirit of the creator embodied in the technology. So, of course digital brains are going to do weird things like crossword puzzles and sodoku at scale, because it's the same kind of useless shit we do to entertain ourselves.

You get into this conversation whenever you dive hard into cyberpunk, which is so many, many things. Even the Internet itself started out that way. The endgame started as a game, and it will end up being a game, played by our creations as odd mirrors of their creators.

I think there's a lot of people who subscribe to doing the same thing to save the planet, of which I have a keen interest. Solarpunk is the name of that movement, and it also has similar crazy ideas.

We're inventing digital brains. It's literally an architecture designed to be removed from being anything remotely human as it's a mimic or replacement technology for intellectual capacity.

If you really take a step back, the endgame is crazier than just bots producing content merely for other bots to consume (which basically describes the vast majority of scientific papers these days too, ironically). When you take that absurdity and multiply it by tens of thousands in terms of efficiency, the whole system we're building looks WILD and almost inconceivably strange to the way we do things now.

I know this is only tangentially related, so I appreciate your understanding that I already understood that and wrote this anyways. :)
Unless your country of origin is really disadvantaged (think sanctioned), I'd say going back is an option. Or even sending CVs outside of the US.

Was there some sort of expressional intent behind the two upside down restaurant scene frames roughly midway in the story?
> I know its harsh but you have no business contributing to a relationship till you're able to take care of yourself beyond the bare minimum.

To clarify, you're saying no one earning less than 4x typical wages should be in a relationship. Did you date much in high school?

> if you're living paycheck to paycheck, get yourself out of that situation first.

So married couples who've hit hard times should do what, divorce and send the kids to foster care?

> Basically if you're single and living paycheck to paycheck, suck it up, educate yourself

Is it your opinion that there is an abundance of high paying jobs that accept degrees and certs from the University Of Sucked It Up And Educated Self?

Or are you thinking about non-degree'd high paying jobs? While there are more than zero, non-degree'd typically means the type of specialized skills that lie on the other side of well entrenched gatekeeping. However, one can overcome gatekeeping. All one needs is enough connections, cash, years and luck - the same sort of stuff it takes to get a university degree.
A bunch of Harvard grads I know have ridden that name for a decade. A small example, one was slacking off in a tech company, got laid off. They raised 1M to "do AI", with no technical skills at all. They hired a dev, six months later with no product raised a 5M seed round at a 25M valuation. No product released.
Apart from the template bloat, at the time CORBA meant exceptions IIRC. The bits of GNOME that used orbit dealt with the same errors mostly by ignoring the return codes.

In the end, both teams decided that assuming components running in remote processes was the wrong default. I'm not sure what GNOME replaced them with, but KParts rescued KDE 2.0
I find it very difficult to get competing offers in such a way that they care to outbid each other. Usually it’s just a nominally similar but differently structured offer.

The thundering herd problem is more like, there's a hundred cooks, one griddle, and only one of them can make an acceptable waffle for the customer.

This specific problem we're discussing, of concurrent client retries effectively launching a self-imposed DDOS attack, isn't exactly the thundering herd problem. It's clients and servers instead of threads, for one thing. But it's a good enough analogy to another type of cascading failure in concurrent computing, IMO.

My wife.

She's been a combat medic on the Ukrainian front for the past year. And by front I mean going to the zero line and literally dragging the wounded out under fire, treating them (knuckles deep in flesh), and getting them transport to base, or a hospital if possible. She was personally there for the liberation of Izyum last year, has treated wounded on top of a BMP while it was dodging Russian shells and tanks, and has seen every kind of war crime and atrocity the Russians have inflicted so far (phosphorous rain is particularly nasty on human flesh).

In short: A badass.

She's also German, and unlike the Ukrainian soldiers can leave the military at any time as a foreigner, but she's committed to staying until the victory parade.
> IMO, because it does not have a well-defined spec.

Same reason that JSON won.

JSON and Markdown are base standards that were generated by market need to simplify.

JSON won because it was not overly complex and there was some flexibility. If you need more go YAML or use JSON as a platform for more.

Every attempt to change JSON has and should be shot down. JSON really just has basic CS types: string, int/number, bool, object, lists. From there any data or types can be serialized or filled. With JSON you can do types via overloads/additional keys, you can add files by url/uri or base64, and any additional needs using parts of basic JSON. Even large numbers can just be strings with type defs as additional keys/patterns. Financial data can just use strings or ints with no decimal largely because this is the safest way to store financial data to prevent float issues.

KISS is life and sometimes things are just done, no improvements needed. Now you can take JSON and add things on top of it if you want. Same with Markdown. The base doesn't need to change... ever.

Don't SOAP my JSON. Don't HTML my Markdown. Though you can add specs (JSONSchema/OpenAPI) and formatting tools on top in a processing step. For messaging and base content, they are perfect, simple, clear, concise and no need to change.
I'm a little surprised because in the era of CDNs, you'd think image distribution would be much easier and cheaper.
What the author describes is many people. Being at an ivy league school doesn't change that. In fact it might make it harder.

Through overcoming stuggle and strife we become stronger. Most of us are scared children walking around in adult bodies unaware how tenuous our grip on life is.

Could be they just get tired of the falsity of their role in modern American corporate culture just like the rest of us. But when they burn out it’s more visible.

Are we doing theories? Mine is that Peter Thiel sold Musk on buying Twitter by convincing him of his ability to make it profitable with his genius, knowing full well he'd sink the thing in 18 months, and another pesky tool would be off the table for awhile.
Also, just don't read five-star reviews. Whether fake or not, they won't contain any interesting information. The important insight is invariably in the "negative" one-to-four star range.

Although not Ivy League, I also suffered from a paralyzing fear of failure for part of my college career. Somewhat paradoxically, I was able to overcome it by lowering my standards, allowing me to spend time working on assignments without stress. The completed assignments then frequently earned good or better grades than I was previously worrying about getting.

I could say a lot more about specifically how I changed my habits to enable this, but this comment will have to do for now.
How do you relate with tradingview?

I've used ATR bots for years, and would love to hear your thoughts on how what you're building delineates itself as a distinct product strategy beyond just the programming language GO.

I've used wonderbit, zigz, and some of the others.

Cool project.
Engineering disasters (e.g. the FIU bridge, the Boeing 737 MAX, the Miami condo collapse, and now the Titan submersible) are rightly subjects of significant interest in the press in general and hacker news specifically.

And rightly so - one can derive lessons on organizational culture and risk management from such incidents that are applicable to one's own life and career.

> Their reasoning isn't all that distinct

Same-sex marriage is completely different from interracial marriage, and most “black and brown people” in the world would be really offended at your equating the two. Race has no bearing on the central function of marriage: procreation. Interracial procreation has been the norm throughout history, and laws against it were an aberration resulting from very specific circumstances. Same-sex marriage, by contrast, is not naturally procreative. It has virtually no historical precedent, and has been embraced only recently, and almost exclusively by white-majority societies that have conceptually decoupled marriage from procreation.
No but they should at least not do buybacks and pay dividends, before cleaning up the mess that their production & product causes. This way an even competition field would form. Oil drilling is not a ludicrous business if you consider the actual costs for production (aka capturing carbon, decommissioning rigs, cleaning up production sites).
The Digital Markets Act is pretty damn well made regulation. Limited only to the very biggest companies, so called gatekeepers, and with wide executive rights given to EU Comission to prevent the act circumvention.

It really opens up a lot of walled gardens. I'm also looking forward to interoperability of chat services.

Pity that AI act is nowhere near as good. And if passed as proposed by EU parliament it will end up killing EU chances at competing on the emerging AI market.
