That's most likely why Threads doesn't use hashtags or has a search function for words and phrases. It keeps those pesky activists from boosting the message.
It’s not just Canada. Other countries have been threatening similar laws before, and more countries will do so as well in the future. Meta knows this. Taking that into account is good.

Also, they want to differentiate this Thread place from other places. Saying that news is not the point is a good idea I think. Even though I don’t like Meta and don’t want them to succeed.

It must have been awful when you were forced to engage with a whimsical community like that. I mean...I'm assuming you were forced, because why else would you harbor so much bitterness over the fact that there were once some people who did things differently than you would have liked?

Right. And in fact, immigration doesn't solve the issue for a very basic reason.

A system that says "The number of working-age people must be at least 5x the number of retirees" is literally demanding unending (super)exponential growth. It's fundamentally impossible on a finite world. It's going to break down at some point. The only question is whether that happens before or after filling the developed world up with immigrants from the undeveloped world.
>they taught children the value of group conformity and not being the nail that sticks up

That seems like an awful lesson to impose on children. "Keep your head down and don't do anything to attract attention. Go to your grave having spent your life hiding among the faceless crowd".

Shitty teachers that play favorites won't not exist in a private setting. Shitty teachers that demand abject compliance from students to soothe their egos won't not exist in a private setting.

It sounds like a bored student was disrupting the education of 30 others, so teachers punished them more than the other students? They should have probably kicked you ahead a grade if you were so far ahead of your peers, but that would require someone in the situation to attribute your behavior to boredom rather than mere defiance. Did your parents not suggest such a thing? Was it not an option for some other reason? It sounds like a change of environment brought you away from old grievances and that the increased coursework gave you something to do. It's completely possible that a grade skip in the same school could have done the same.

> no ads so far, recommendation algorithm works reasonably well (although it keeps pushing up Shaq for some reason), and there are some nice posi meme-y vibes. People talking about cooking and travel and music—no weird politics or crypto scammer stuff on every comment. Hopefully it stays that way for longer.

Why do you expect any different from the same company who even knows that its algorithm that was seen as toxic [0] from Instagram is now on Threads? They are certainly going to push ads when they have the chance and Meta will not change.

This euphoria always happens at the start of another platform existing and given it is by Meta again, I will expect them to screw over their users just like they always have done.

I think this is what happens when someone gets so out of touch with the reality of living like primitive man.

If you can't see the real tangible benefits technolgy provides to humans, then you have been living too good for too long and have taken everything around you for granted.

Run into the woods naked and see how long you last and how good it feels. Not long, and not good.

Is redistributive wealth policy count as democratic socialist policy or not?

>There's nothing socialist whatsoever about Social Security.... Your benefits are proportional to what you paid into it.

This simply isn't true. SS payments are not at all proportional to what you put in, with higher earners subsidizing lower. compare payouts for SS on 13k income and 130k income. What you pay in goes up by 10X and what you get back goes up by 3.5X you can play with a calculator if you want [1].

Tax on 13K income, SS benefit at retirement: $18,362/yr

Tax on 25K income, SS benefit at retirement: $24,627/yr

Tax on 50K income, SS benefit at retirement: $37,678/yr

Tax on 100k income, SS benefit at retirement: $56,505/yr

Tax on 130k income, SS benefit at retirement: $63,846/yr

The reason for the first is that the US has a much, much better environment for conducting business, compared to Mexico. This is on many levels, starting with education, continuing along to infrastructure, but also things like “low levels of official corruption” and “effective and consistent application of the rule of law,” especially least where business is concerned. For all our troubles (you needn’t raise them, I know) chances are that no one you know will ever be stopped by a cop claiming you were speeding and asking for a bribe; this would be business as usual and fairly unremarkable in Mexico.

It would be good if Mexico could improve and avoid these problems. Until it does so, trapping the Mexican laborer in Mexico to earn his wage, when he could go elsewhere, is like making a farmer farm in the desert.

It is not a natural-resource ownership allocation problem like you allude to with Norway.
I’d be the first on the team to code in a “clean hood” routine where the vehicle rapidly accelerates in a safe area and then slams on the brakes to yeet the cone off the hood.

I still don’t understand why there isn’t a manual override with a staff member sitting in a racing sim 24x7 who can “jack in” to any deployed vehicle and take over. They’d be able to do the same thing.
By the concerns you raise, we need to note that "landlord" covers a lot of ground. There are owners of large buildings, and there are owners of one or two small apartment buildings, and there are owners of grandma's house rented out or one half of a two-family. Each has its own challenge.

Even as a property owner, the wife's car in the driveway put mine in the street.

Mentioned ChatGPT to my teenager a few months ago.

Huge percentage of the teenagers at her school are using it to do their assignments.

Later I her to read a few chapters of her book for summer reading. When I quizzed her it, she got it right.

Found out later she used ChatGPT to give her a summary of the first chapters. She did not enjoy having first weeks of summer without a phone.

School is having to change all assignments to be written in class on paper. No phones allowed.
The sticking point is that “consent of the governed” doesn’t even mean majority consent anymore.
This take reads like you've never created anything for the intrinsic joy of creation. Not everything must be utilitarian. Art is still art even if its clumsily made or seen only by the artist.

Most of us do this to feed and clothe ourselves and our families. Its easy to lose sight of the fact that we're often engaged in creative, artistic pursuits. If you were lucky enough to become enchanted by computers before you had to keep a roof over your head you likely stayed up late writing code, tweaking parameters and watching the pixels or the numbers fall out the other end. Late nights driven only by your own curiosity and the joy you felt while doing it. No feature requests, design documents, or stakeholders except yourself.

Of course there is also the code that keeps the planes in the sky and the electricity in the wires, necessary and beautiful in its own right, but that isn't what this is about.
The online servers for DCSS often host old versions if you'd prefer to play those; crawl.akrasiac.org hosts versions back through 0.11 (released in 2012). Given that it's so easy to play old versions, I'm happy that the devs are open to toy with getting rid of sacred cows in the new versions.

Also, item identification still exists, even if everything else you mentioned has been changed in some way. :P
I don't think that sleepsort is any more constant time, than any other sorting algorithm. For sleepsort to be constant time, you must

- have an upper bound on the input (largest number)
- you must not count some arbitrary things, like reading and processing the input, or spawning threads

But if are allowed to do these things, all the other sorts will became constant time. (I believe only one of them is enough.)
This blog has nice stories, but what really does it for me are the cute interjections using random conlangs. Here it was a well-known one, but I recall having seen some toki pona another day (can't find it now).
I used to be very very excited about self-driving cars. Now I'm 1000% certain they will not improve anything meaningful at all. There are no urgent, legit needs that make these things necessary or acceptable. Meanwhile there are concrete, easier, but "boring" things we could do today to improve safety and comfort on the streets and highways.

Here's a dumb list of some of the automation I want to see:

- Automated speed and acceleration limits based on location. In cities, 20km/h. From 0 to 20 in 5 seconds. On highways, whatever makes sense. But, sorry, you can't go 200 km/h unless you're on a track, a train or a plane.

- Automated / smart traffic lights to end unnecessary stopping and waiting, while giving priority to emergency vehicles, transit, pedestrians, bicycles over individual cars

- Automated emergency vehicle notification to drivers, without increasingly loud,blaring sirens (esp. at night when the streets are empty and response times are 2x better than during the day in the first place)

- Mandatory collision mitigation and other safety assists; you shouldn't have to pay more money to get a safer vehicle (especially safer for others)

- ...but no autopilot allowed outside of specific places/times (eg. certain highway segments at certain times)

- Automated, guaranteed fines when speeding, running red lights or driving recklessly.

- APIs for cities/counties/regions to influence routing decisions made by maps applications: people are free to drive on small streets but the algorithm should not send them there. Before I started using it, waze, in particular, often steered me to complicated routes via small streets to save 90 seconds in a 15 minute trip. Cities should be able to align traffic engineering decisions at all levels.

- Automated engine shutoff and notifications to prevent idling and educate folks. I see people browsing for minutes before/after driving, with the engine on. People eating in their cars with the engine on, etc. In front of folks sitting at a cafe etc. Just ignominious stuff given the noise, heat and air pollution output (idling generates more toxic exhaust than driving).
Very cool but will the threads necessarily wake up deterministically? One may wake up before another but not get cpu before it correct? (forgive me if I'm misunderstanding the code)

> An attempt to portray widespread safety concerns among the populace that do not exist

It’s a good example of a totem. On one side, activists can use the media uptake to show traction in their anti-tech crusade, intentionally muddying attention and support. On the other side, a separate group uses the first to show San Francisco is crumbling and anti-innovation. Neither need any relation to facts, just exist in respect of each other; in their engagement within themselves and with one another, their convictions gain strength.
Your rendering API is not going to implement GI for you, and having it in a sample app is kind of misleading, that's not really the point. It's probably a mistake to include that as a sample scene as it creates the impression that it's trying to be a game engine. A few material spheres and test meshes would probably be a better example.

Intel recently reduced it's dividend by $.50 (2/3), reducing costs by $3B/yr which is already a massive move. There are however financing aspects which discourage them from totally removing it - as a collapse in share price (would impact their ability to finance loans, pay employees with shares etc. so it's important for them to manage things within certain channels.

That said, the market reacted rather positively to the dividend reduction (which happened around their low) although correlation is difficult as the whole market overall has risen a lot since February.

Scapegoating tech makes for a popular distraction from the increasingly dire real world issues facing the city.

Let me give a concrete example. Two weeks ago nine people were shot at a street fair in the Mission. It appears tied to organized gang activity.

The SF papers ran with a story about “self-driving car obstructs emergency response” more prominently placed than the actual shooting.

The Fire Chief personally debunked the story, but it was syndicated across online outlets, and remains un-retracted.
Thnx Meta! This is so cool that it's like a high-level Khronos release. #1 priority is I believe getting USD / Hydra rendering to WASM targets for browser use. But in the meantime, ray tracing doom ii summer of fun! ;)

But they didn't reinvent the whole thing? v6 mostly works the same as v4. There's not even really anything new in it; the biggest new thing is probably SLAAC, which isn't exactly complicated.

IPsec was bigger, but immediately backported to v4 and nobody uses it anyway, so I'm not sure it counts.

v6 is already designed to be slowly phased in, by allowing deployment of updated software/OSs/devices that support the new addresses in parallel with the old and gradually moving things over. If anything, the reason people can still use the old APIs is because of the approach of slowly phasing it in.

That's what you wanted, and it's still not good enough for you?

When I took my family from Brazil to visit Orlando, every single person and tourism agency told me to do just that (and hide the money out of pockets).

Game servers are fairly frequently hosted on Windows, simply because the game server often shares a lot of code with the client (including libraries which may not be cross platform), and game developers are often most familiar with Windows.
I don't think it erases anything. Most places that have been discovered by explorers have been populated. I've never in my life heard of somebody who thought America wasn't populated upon its discovery.

My understanding is that Microsoft built a lot of tech in the Dreamcast in the first place, didn't even need to ask Sega to reuse a lot of it.

Every private school I ever went happily took and cared for disabled children. My impression was that they had a pretty great experience compared to my years in public school, where all disabled children were in the same classroom regardless of grade and basically were babysat and not educated all day.

And we had plenty of braindead but normal kids too. Their parents paid out large donations to get their useless children passed through school and at least an attempt to educate them.
Yes a "Wheel Boot" is another term for a wheel clamp, and "booting" is the act of attaching it. Booting can also mean to kick in the US, fwiw. I suppose I could say "I was so frustrated that the police booted my car, that I booted my car in the boot and hurt my foot!"

I don't understand what you mean by what you've written. What is "active consent"? What, here, is described by that term?

A few people has said "WE don't consent". That's the first issue: a few people think they have the authority to speak for everyone. Is that your definition of "active consent", the commandeering of society by a few self-appointed authorities? Sorry to break it to you, but that's exactly the opposite of the rule of law. That is the tyranny of an aggressive minority.

The second issue is that mob rule is an absolutely terrible way to govern, which doesn't apply here. We have representatives for a reason. Direct democracy is tyranny of the mob, and mob rule, too, is the opposite of rule of law.

Also, re: the tweet, I cannot take seriously anyone who uses words like "un-alived". It's clownish newspeak.

This is such a bad take that you actually made me laugh out loud. Not trying to be negative but I believe you need to discuss the idea with real people before going all-in. There are plenty of misinformation in any "legit" newspaper. Journalist also isn't a protected title in a lot of countries so anyone can call themselves a journalist. It doesn't automatically make your claims true. On the contrary, a lot of people go into journalism because they are passionate about certain topics, similar to activists.
For that matter, doesn't California have similar privacy laws?
Politicians have been claiming they're going to fix public schools for my entire adult life and haven't made an inch of progress in that time. We need to abandon the delusion that there's one weird trick (that doctors hate) to fix public schools and instead move to a different system.

I think Kelly agrees with this point. Kaczynski being "right" is really scoped to the argument that technology is a self-perpetuating machine that is not entirely within human control to direct.
