> Hell, Netflix used to have an option where people could leave reviews on the movies they watched

There's a very specific reason Netflix removed reviews / star ratings in favour of a simple thumbs up & down system: those were mostly used to recommend content, and they found that ratings are uninformative (something true for most recommender system applications) and even harmful because giving a precise score keeps many people from giving feedback -> lowering the quality of recommendations. See this article [1].

The same train of thought would go for something like Google Sidewiki: it likely just didn't get enough traction (vs digg, reddit, etc.)

Problem with this idea is moderation - Google is not going to moderate a discussion that is happening in the side bar of your site.

What is love to see, and tried to make once, is something like this but just shows discussions about a URL from Hacker News/Reddit. Sites that are moderated and people have actual quality discussions (usually).
I tried this a long time ago (2014) with a extension project: http://www.3delement.com/?p=394

Searches for discussions and backlinks to your current URL on used. I gave the project up pretty quick but it's still something I'd love to see as a Chrome extension (though might not actually be possible now after the Reddit API changes)
Or simply manufacturers not using LEDs to indicate activity.

You're seriously comparing the air defense capability of Afghanistan against a near peer? I love the Tomahawk, and I think it still has some use until LRSO comes into inventory in significant numbers, but I think it's going to struggle against China if it comes to that. Even with saturation attacks, you'll have to have a lot of luck and careful planning to overwhelm China's A2AD.

In image processing an edge detector like Sobel works (IIRC) by forward differencing. This is not quite differentiation but may help connect the dots a little bit. My guess is that some people may find this more intuitive.
In simple terms, every sin(wt) or cos(wt) term becomes wcos(wt) and -wsin(wt) when differentiated, so the higher the frequency, the higher the multiplier.

This is not what most people would call high pass filter, as there's no cutoff frequency etc, and the phases get out of whack quickly, but you can think of it in these terms if it helps.

I despise u_spez but he is cunning. Not only he has a deep knowledge and understanding of reddit moderators (he can easily read all their chat and DM after all), but he quelled their rebellion not even by threatening them with a ban, but simply giving moderation rights to somebody else and the large sub moderators immediately caved at the perspective of losing the power the wield.

Mentioned it because there's been many papers which specifically used the live network to do such a thing already. Some researchers have spun up large numbers of relays in the past to conduct their work.

I personally don't see how it's unethical for either academics or governments to do this? Both have an interest in breaking tor, even when in the governments case where they both utilise it and want to know who else is using it.

The tor people themselves acknowledge the work in their blogs

If I recall correctly, the Surface Duo was supposed to be a Windows device (hence the odd selections like native UEFI and lack of certain hardware that would be on a contemporary Android device in the same class eg NFC).

Microsoft was getting frustrated they couldn't get a good Windows experience on the metal and ended up contracting Movial, a software/embedded engineering firm, that they ended up partially acquiring to basically accelerate the Android port to the hardware and get it shipped.

https://mspoweruser.com/microsoft-acquires-the-surface-duo-d...

At the same time they were rushing the half-baked Android release out to the Duo they were all together working on what they actually wanted to ship in the Duo 2. (I was a Day 1 Duo user. I promptly returned it only two months into the ownership experience.)
Why own anything? Why not have us extract rent from you for every item in your life?
SNES and DOS do not use standard resolutions. However, PS2, GameCube, Wii, Xbox & Xbox 360, all Sega consoles, a wide variety of arcade hardware, etc. do. Anything that runs at standard hardware, which, barring super nintendo and certain PS1 software, IS the vast majority of the retro gaming catalog, will look awesome on these.

PS1 is an oddball. Most games run at standard resolution, like the Final Fantasy games. They will look awesome on these. Some, however, do not. Spyro runs at odd resolutions, similar to SNES games.

That being said, I still think this is an awesome option for retro gaming where CRT is not permitted.
This is amazing. Thank you for your work.
That’s silly. There is a difference between buying material from a foreign country and being entirely reliant on another one for your survival.

I don’t mind the fairly honest debate and disagreement we are having. I understand your view on NATO even if I think it’s wrong and fail to acknowledge the actual effect the alliance has on its members. Still there is little point in going further if you are not interested in a modicum of intellectual honesty.
Wonder if the fact that they’re related to NATO, who is at war, have anything to do with it.
Not sure if this is the answer, but if instead of looking at money economics, we look at entertainment economics. Instead of producing crops, people produce entertainment. Instead of being paid with money, they are paid with status/validation/power.

I am insufficiently familiar with the feudalism metaphor to claim it doesn't break down, but on a cursory glance, it seems to hold up.
Sky and Virgin Media would often block sites I was trying to access, before I bought a vpn service. So yes the UK ISPs do block sites.
Thinking about it, there may actually be a strong link.

Reddit spent the last few years badgering mods into "combating misinformation". A war against an 'enemy' is an 'easy' way to get people in line.

For example, the science sub banned people for linking an official EU recommendation against more than 4 vaccines, or for questioning the natural origin theory. That's not science; it's antithetical to science.

Repeat this at scale, over millions of users, tens of thousands of subs, thousands of links, hundreds of concepts, over years; all powered and amplified by LLM powered bots and shadowy PR teams.

Complicit mods, those who didn't give much of a toss about free speech or independent thought, were selected for and elevated during this process.

Meanwhile, users and moderators who didn't like the idea of censoring alternate and legitimate viewpoints have been leaving / shadowbanned / marginalized for the past couple years.

Would the resistance of Reddit users and mods have been stronger without the above circumstances? I think it actually made a huge difference.

Reddit today is far worse than Reddit 4 years ago. Reddit tomorrow will be exponentially worse again, I have no doubt. The Corona "misinformation war" has been a large factor in that.

> Shaving 5ms off render time on a crappy Android device should be a desirable goal, not something you have to be cajoled into doing. You should be motivated by that!

Here’s the thing: I would love to worry about 5ms optimizations, but my time is limited and there’s hundreds of 100ms optimizations I can do first. Those haven’t got done because, again, my time is limited and we had plenty of infinite-ms optimizations to do first by making various things possible to do at all.

This is another advantage for Bluesky. Because as of now, a user of BlueSky would have no clue that it is "decentralized" at all. In comparison, Nostr shoves it in your face that it is totally unlike anything you're used to.

Bluesky just appears as a Twitter alternative. And I think that is very smart of them. Because realistically, only very serious people/companies should consider running alternative relay servers. Relays come and go on Nostr because people underestimate the amount of work / money involved in running them.

I feel like you are the one being intellectually dishonest. To claim someone is a protectorate because they enter into a defensive alliance for their defence is absurd and does not follow.

No one is entirely reliant on NATO for survival but theres plenty of armies that wouldn't survive an insane from Russia without the extra material.

<<Suggesting lifestyle change as a cure for obesity presupposes that obese people simply lack the knowledge of what must be done.

You presuppose lack of knowledge, not me. Contrarily, I call out the lack of self discipline knowing what they must do. Every obese person I know is aware of what is wrong and what they must do.

Ozempic and semaglutide trick your body into thinking it has eaten. If you take it for a year, but still eat the same calories per day, you do not lose weight. It still requires some discipline. From pricing without insurance these seem to be >$200 per month medications. That's a lot of money for Big Pharma considering they suggest you take it for at least a year and the obesity rate in America.

Call me old fashioned and relying on some common sense, but there are longer term and healthier solutions than relying on a pill for all of your troubles.

>>Before now, it actually felt VERY VERY GOOD to eat nearly unlimited junk food.

So downing a bucket or two of chicken wings felt good to the last wing? I doubt it. You've conditioned yourself to still like it when bursting at the seams. Again some discipline would go a long way rather than a pill. Let's see where all this medication puts this generation down the road - from all sorts of mental health pills to diet pills, etc. I don't think it's the right path, and there are those making money hand-over-fist while everyone plugs into the matrix.
This is a horrible article written by someone I would not want to work for . The reality is much of the work give to developers is unorganized and unrefined. Trying to build an objective system around a shaky system is just exploitive. It also encourages finger pointing when velocity shrinks.

Are the business analyst going to fix bugs when the stories are wrong ?

The only real metric that matters is is the customer happy with the progress. It’s a team sport, and focusing on the devs alone is the wrong approach.
I don't know about karma or gold, but I earned a few death threats as a subreddit moderator. Now that was truly rewarding.
You are aware that in economics, prices are supposed to reflect differences in utility and marginal costs, right? If there is an overproduction of a given product then prices tend toward marginal costs, if there is a shortage they tend towards marginal utility. Oil companies tend to be very profitable because they get to monetize their land usage rights over oil bearing land. Their marginal costs are very low, basically just the cost of extraction of what was already there. They don't have to pay the plants. The marginal utility is defined by the best possible uses and guess what, saving a live is one of the best possible uses for a resource so people are willing to pay for it, possibly up to everything they have. Your objection is that the price is somewhere between what the marginal cost and utilities dictate. There is a consumer and a producer surplus and you argue that oil is cheap in comparison to how much people are willing to pay to save a life and this must be some huge consumer surplus that the oil company is responsible for. Except the company isn't responsible for its low marginal costs, it didn't pay the plants it is digging up. The market for life saving oil is oversaturated because there is not much oil that is directly allocated toward saving lives. Burning oil to keep yourself warm on an especially cold day isn't the same as heating your home every winter day so it is as comfortable as the summer. Nor is heating an overly large house life saving. You could have used an electric blanket instead to save your life. Since you only need to heat your own body, the amount of energy is insignificant.
So the price of oil is mostly reflecting its low utility (compared to saving a life) and low marginal costs. So it appears that in very specific circumstances the consumer surplus is really high. An objection against consumer surpluses isn't an argument against carbon taxes because they tax the usage, aka the burning, of fossil fuels and not its production. For taxing production you would need a land value tax or a resource extraction tax. Carbon taxes reduce globally harmful uses of fossil fuel at the expense of reducing individual consumer surpluses.
All of these are examples of how the integral of x^n is 1/(n+1) x^(n+1).
Combined with the fact that rescaling a n dimensional object by a factor x makes it x^n times bigger and that the (n+1)-volume can be expressed as an integral of n-volumes.

It will generalize to any shape consisting of stacked rescaled slices of some other shape where the scaling factor increases linearly.

This is like half the startups since 2000's, like Amazon warehouse workers and Deliveroo.

Just instead of physical land, their holding are IP, but equally violently protected by the state.

> OpenAI is a serious threat to Google's 1%, because it can give better answers

It does seem to give better answers.

But I don't think that's necessarily indicative of which kind of technology is capable of giving better search results. Google isn't what it was 20 years ago, so I don't think that what Google is now is terribly indicative of what their core technology is capable of being. They've largely allowed their search service to sink into a quagmire of content farms. They occasionally make a vague swipe at dealing with the absolute worst of it, but for the longest time they've had little incentive to put too much effort into it because these same content farms produce a sizable chunk of their ad revenue.

And they won't go down without a fight. I can't imagine it will be that easy for their crown to be wrested away by a chatbot with stratospheric operating costs that's been jerry-rigged into an ersatz search engine that nobody can afford to "reindex" more often than once every couple years. I wouldn't be surprised if a few rounds of proximal policy optimization costs more than it would cost Google to apply some proper attention to their search result quality.
People use "nation-state" to mean "sovereign country", when it is in fact a specific kind of entity: a coterminous political and cultural/ethnic territory.

Colloquially, the word "nation" can mean something as simple as "country", but when you use the term "nation-state", you're going out of your way to invoke the technical definition.

On the other hand, "carbon steel pans" is just what they're called. Can't dunk on me for my metallurgical naivete; gotta take it up with Lodge.
I suspect that people like this don't actually care how productive their emoloyees are. That's just the justification provided for what they also probably understand is micromanagement. For whatever reason they have trust issues and they wrap it up in paragraphs of bullshit that, to them, sounds like proper validation for their behavior, but these people are toxic and should be avoided at all costs.

That fits my dad as he was born and raised in Walla Walla. I’m not sure how common it is though, I left the region after first grade.
Well, I meant wayland-wayland, not wayland thru Xwayland. I'll keep Xwayland, and those horrible 748397438924 client libs (yeah wayland code is static/private to distributed binaries), for games still missing a wayland backend (with unity/unreal5.x/godot/etc and via libSDL[23], I wonder if that exists on modern elf/linux games unless a custom engine).

But it seems the really hard part for valve is dropping their 32bits legacy code which is hardcoded for x11 and opengl... they are adamant at keeping it.

Exactly. And if a ruler’s elite supporters find out he turned down Chinese loans that he could’ve used to give his elite supporters lots of free money, they’ll remove him from power and put someone else in that will take the loan money and pay it out to the elites.

We really do and we try to reflect that in the offer. Our vesting packages are orders of magnitude larger than what's typical, with long exercise times. Our finances are also pretty stable (no VC, cash flow positive, long term licenses) so we can invest in them upfront and go over asking.
Also, probably fairly considered the cost of doing business, but that includes a substantial fine Twitter had to pay. And Covid troubles.

Is pg factoring uncertainty and unpredictability into this argument on per-project procrastination? He brought in the idea of natural selection earlier in the essay, yet may be ignoring that the best project to work on may not be known a priori.

“One reason per-project procrastination is so dangerous is that it usually camouflages itself as work. You're not just sitting around doing nothing; you're working industriously on something else. So per-project procrastination doesn't set off the alarms that per-day procrastination does.”
Yeah debates in climate science are about phenomena laypeople don’t even know exist. It’s about how what we observe happens. No one is arguing about what we’re observing, eg global warming.
