I have to ask, do you see the same behavior towards others around you?
Reddit's CEO stated that what Elon did to Twitter was a model he'd like Reddit to follow.

Although Reddit's changes are fresh, it has declined both in quality and esteem from copying this business style. I expect further decline if they follow this road.

As for the companies that aren't following Elon's lead: they are flourishing. We have enough data points now to say it authoritatively.

Slash and burn is not effective, smart or conducive to the desired results.
I have a similar git lg. It’s my most used command
Not my observation. They aren't as privacy obsessed as it's made out to be, only when there's a big fuss made out of something. There's still heavy social media use which completely contradicts the privacy focus.
Dude you are living in the matrix - in the best way possible. I love your post!
Even of the OP was being sarcastic, this type of language is unnecessary.
This. Submarines don't swim like fish, airplanes don't fly like birds and cars don't run like gepards.

Edit: I am surprised at the downvotes. In general, we learn from the nature, but aping it usually proved too difficult and often unpractical at the same time. Do we really want to replicate worm intelligence for practical purposes, or do we want something different?

I would say that a machine which can, say, analyze chemical compounds for their potential biological functions, is a very practical form of "intelligence" and yet very far from any biological intelligence that was ever produced in vivo. Worms cannot do that and even humans struggle with such tasks.

Not sure if it's worth cancelling it.
And webgpu.

Sure, the implementations today are thin layers over D3D12, Vulkan and Mantel. But it is a proper API, cross platform and without the implementation overhead.

Next time I need to draw some graphics I will definitely use WebGPU instead of OpenGL or Vulkan.

PS. Don't let the name fool you. It is a proper render API, Mozilla has written their implementation in rust and Google in C++.

Would not be surprised if WebGPU do get native support by the drivers in the future.

This could be specific to French speaking culture but I am often contacted by individuals who start online conversations with either:

"hi, I hope you're well."

"hi, what's up?"

These introductions clearly tend to trigger me as I interpret them as someone who wants to ask for something but isn't brave enough to simply ask for it so she/he keeps walking around you desperately looking for a sign of welcome.

When this happens, I usually just reply with:

"Hi."

Then I pull out my popcorn and watch the "X is typing a reply" prompt come up then disappear, repeatedly for the next minute or two.
> Niemöller still isn't studied enough in Europe it seems.

To this day Robert Paxton's works on Vichy France are still seen by many inside France as "controversial" and what have you, so measures like this one here are just what you'd expect coming from "republican" France.
Such behaviour is off putting to many geeks, myself included. Still i'd disagree. He had a vision, followed it and made it a reality.
You didn't answer the question: Did the people who voted "no" also win the vote? And are they not part of the union?
the point is not to "not" say hello. But to have your message include the actual reason for contacting them.

so instead of
8:14
"hello"
9:15
"actual question"

sent
8:14
"Hello, actual question"

If you're going to critique it you might as well get the acronym right. It's GDPR, not GPRD.
Rust deals with race conditions 100 times better than C. Have you tried it? Just because it can't guarantee that they never happen doesn't mean it isn't any better.

You can't solve this with a different programming language but you can definitely make bugs much less likely.

The US did it in WWII because the Royal Navy and the US Navy were the two biggest most powerful navies in the world, specially in the Atlantic.

If you think the US would go so far as to block Europe from buying launches on US launchers, then the US could also easily blockade South America.

Certainty, blockade is another level to just cutting business ties but its certainty not comparable to WW2.
Great stuff Jeswin! I also (mostly) loved working with EntityFramework. I wonder what the closest ORM is to it in the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem. Probably sequelize? Think EF relies a lot on reflection though, which we don't really have in JS...
> Our pricing is confusing. Our free tier is even more confusing with execution hours. We initially offered carte blanche free compute, then added "verification" to curb abuse. This was further confusing, and to boot, abusers would end up gaming the system anyways!

From what I've noticed, Fly.io handles abuse in a different way.

- Require Credit Card on sign-ups.

- Always meter bandwidth (but 5x less than Railway: 0.02/GB after 160GB vs 0.10/GB).

- If Fly.io catches you running a VPN/Proxy, no free bandwidth for you; $10/mo minimum: https://community.fly.io/t/4896

- If everything's a-okay, no charges if monthly use is less than $5: https://community.fly.io/t/11133/7
302 neurons doesn’t sound impressive to people who may be used to working with 7B+ parameter neural networks. But those neural networks have about as much in common with a biological neuron as a bicycle had with a horse. They can both travel pretty fast but one evolved naturally through over a billion years of harsh natural selection, and the other is a precisely tuned metal machine with a single purpose.

Neurons are similar, they are incredibly sophisticated biological machines, with billions of DNA base pairs controlling their behavior. The emergent behavior of neurons in both biological and AI systems are pretty fascinating
You do have a social score if you live in the US. Your credit score is a score on how well you fit as a cog into capitalist society.
I'm not exactly sure I trust EU either tbf. They haven't really shown themselves to be good stewards of understanding how internet works with their previous resolutions.
> they'll contact your DPA and sort it out among themselves

No, they won’t. They’ll help you coördinate. You won’t have to become an expert in other bodies of law, but you will need to responsive to them, which is time consuming, distracting and—if you’re running a real business—expensive.

I’ve seen this deployed to remarkable efficacy, with asymmetry in defence:deployment cost in excess of 10:1.
They just keep adding support to what the market demands, adding FP8 to the H100s and 40xx series was such a good move, their tooling is top notch, like what is the alternative of rapids in amd? Their drivers are so stable that you can rely on them not crashing in projects that need to train for weeks & months, sxm is another big win of nvidia.

They also have their skin in the game and do a lot of research in ds.

A single 4090 can do 0.66 PFLOPS which is mind blowing to me, borderline having in your room a supercomputer of the 200xs for a few k$.

It's entirely happenstance, but I like the accidental reference to BBC Threads (the nuclear war TV film). Not only is it a "post apocalypse" evacuation site to many people, but the opening narration of the film muses on how society depends on the "threads" between us and others. Essentially describing the network effect that social media platforms live and die by

No, not even close. On Intel in some chipset(s) Vulkan is not as performant as OpenGL 4.6.
Gallium3D with Iris it's the future against the old pipeline, tho. For instance, I get OpenGL 2.1 in my netbook with the new drivers, 1.4 with the old ones instead.
Nematode specifically, which is a very little worm.
Asia + dash line is obviously a deliberate message on a very controversial subject. Saying that "you are imagining it all, it's all in your minds" is gaslightning them.

No way this is an accident or a mistake. For them, the dash line is as iconic as sporting the Hitler moustache, or having 1488 personalized plates on a car. You can't claim you didn't know.

Here's exactly what it means: Someone at Facebook, when creating the listing for the Threads app on the appstore, told Apple that the app might possibly collect Health data (etc). These labels are entirely based on self reporting by the person doing the upload. That's it, that's the entirety of what these privacy label things mean: the company making the app has made these claims about what it collects.

In this case Facebook appear to have simply ticked every possible box for data collection regardless of whether the app actually does it or not. Note you can't just get health data on iOS without asking, so people would notice if they tried.
My guess is that actually figuring out what they do/don't collect was too hard, so they just said yes to everything.
The two former Binance US CEOs (Brian Brooks and Catherine Coley) are already cooperating with the SEC and CFTC. I doubt they’ll hesitate if the DOJ comes calling.
All deb package versions are immutable too!

Bugs and security issues are found from time to time. When that happens, every occurrence in use needs an update. If ten different incompatible versions of a package are in use, they all need to be replaced. That's more work than one per traditional distribution release.
I tried, and decided it is not worth it. llama.cpp with a 13B model fit into RAM of my laptop, but pushes CPU temperature to 95 degrees within a few seconds, and mightily sucks the battery dry. Besides, the results were slow and rather useless. GPT is the first cloud application I deliberately use to push off computing and energy consumption to an external host which is clearly more capable of handling the request then my local hardware.

I sympathize with the idea of wanting to run a local LLM, but IMO, this would require building a desktop with a GPU and plenty of horsepower + silent cooling and put it somewhere in a closet in my apartment. Running LLMs on my laptop is (to me) clearly a waste of my time and its battery/cooling.
Eh... French cops are relatively lazy.

I've seen people literally smoking joints in front of the police station.

Listening in on someone to find evidence of them doing something illegal is actual work, the odds of them doing it to everyone are rather low, I think they'd rather go watch a football game or something.
Perhaps one would drop the quotes around self-reflect if one would implement something more akin to a Markov blanket [1], blankets within blankets, model ourselves modelling the world.

Many people only play free phone games. It tracks. I know people on the internet constantly discount it, but mobile is much too big a platform to ignore in discussions like these
> It's “easier” because it lies to you

No, it really doesn't. If I make the wrong assumption that "everything is sequential", then it's not the paradigm lying to me.

Pretty much the first thing I learned about threads: I have to assume that my code can, and will, be interrupted at arbitrary points.

As long as I keep that in mind, there is very little that can surprise me. Because the other side of that coin reads: "Unless it branches into more threads of execution, each block itself will run sequentially, no matter what", which makes it very easy to reason about each block.

The rest is a matter of synchronizing these interruptions to a useful outcome, which, as stated elsewhere, CSP and modern languages integrating the primitives for that natively, make really easy.
I like these bottom up approaches, as they demonstrate very well how much we _don't_ know yet about life. Important to mention here Craig Venters minimal cell project syn3.0, where the team synthetically created a livable cell comprising 473 genes. It was done to a large part with trial and error, the function of many of those genes is still not known. A recent review from the same team is to be found at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2022.06.046 .
In defense of the project: they’ve been working a lot over the last 10 years. They recently published what they call a “liquid neural network” where they’ve isolated the neuron structure doing the work. It outperforms CNNs for some niche tasks, and it uses a fraction of the resources.
I think, it's a particular quirk of x86 architecture. Branching is expensive in comparison because not doing branching is super cheap.

The good question is what do we need C for in general? Of course, we can hand-tailor our code to run best on one particular piece of hardware. And we don't need C for that, it would be the wrong tool. We need assembly (and a decent macro system for some sugar)

But the original goal of C was to make translating system-level code from one platform to another easier. And we're expected to lose efficiency on this operation. It's like instead of writing a poem in Hindi and translating it in Urdu, we write one in Esperanto and then translate to whatever language we want automatically. You don't get two brilliant poems, you only get two poor translations, but you get them fast. That's what C is for.
You insinuate that all people opposing Street View were clueless idiots, the top comment fantasizes about a surveillance-loving crowd that's just upset with Street View... talk about a discussion that's sad to see.
I've tried using it for this exact thing, and it doesn't work that well with terminal screenshots. You have to carefully read the output and fix it manually, but at least it's better than typing it all out by hand.
I think they mean that more recent (or “modern”) OpenGL versions beyond 4.1 aren’t supported on macOS, and semi-seriously suggested Zink/MoltenVK as a way to use (say) OpenGL 4.6 on that platform
Given that a dedicated rocket is gone run you 8 million or more, seems like a good deal.
Even the Amazon chatbot is fairly useless, and like many chatbots it is slow too, seemingly to mimic a human typing speed which is really annoying when it's not even pretending to be human.
Is scam the right term? The article suggests they are accused of not enforcing financial repression (sanctions, anti-money laundering laws, etc). I can see how that can get them in trouble, but it doesn't mean it's a scam. FTX was a scam.
Just federated identity, like OpenID. It doesn't necessitate distributed systems with communicating backends, like Mastodon or Usenet, just that it allows the user to bring their own IdP and therefore to have "sovereignty" to verify their own identity across platforms. The alternate route is to have users cryptographically certify their registrations post-hoc, e.g. Keybase
Would love to see this applied to the fruit fly connectome that was on the front page the other day.

What? Did you respond to the wrong comment? Can you tell me what you think my comment is trying to say?
Thanks Dave. Looks like sequelize has TypeScript support. The problem with Node frameworks is the longevity - so many projects (even large ones) get abandoned.

On another note: one of the goals of Tankman is to compile with Native AOT once .Net 8 is out. The EF Core team is working on making it compatible - https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/29754
Security being a primary concern is a "purist ideology"? LOL.

Abusing emergency location services is a much better explanation here. They can ping the device for a short time and it'll do its best (using A-GPS and WiFi) to provide an accurate position, without involving anyone since it's fully automated. Collecting positions from a carrier's network infrastructure is a more complex and slow task in comparison.
I did not say there should be only one. My assertion is that there are so many that the piece of the pie that remains for blue sky if the keep this invite only idea will diminish as time goes by.
Yeah, but we understand why birds can fly and why fish can swim and how gepards can run, at least on a mechanical basis.

This is not true for how this 302 cell organism works. We don't know and struggle to understand. That's actually the reason why the project exists. To find out how everything works with an bottom-up approach.

While we may find shortcuts or even superior forms of intelligence without understanding how intelligence works in biological creatures, it is still curious how we struggle even with a "simple" organism like C.elegans.
In addition to the other points made by others about sharing staff...

At their respective peaks Meta had around 12x the staff of peak Twitter despite not having 10x the user base (that said Meta towers heavily over Twitter in users and monthly accesses.)

Even today Meta still has more than 10x the staff of peak Twitter.

If anything you're highlighting that at ~7,500 staff Twitter was probably too thinly run.
Thanks for you work! I'm hyped for a faster mobile client and definetly need to setup the sliding-sync proxy for my HS.

Can you already say something about encrypted search support in Element X? I really like how transparent encryption works for DMs nowadays in Element but for non-powerusers it is often really confusing why the can't search their chats (on the current gen mobile clients at least). I fully understand that this is a difficult problem and less state on the client definitely does not make it easier.

Also since you mentioned it, is multiaccount support something that we can realistically expect to see in Element X someday (maybe even in a v1.0?). If I remember correctly for the previous iterations of the clients the status was mostly "maybe one day" or "the architecture does not really support it".

You're right, it's basically air pollution. We know that air pollution makes people older and kills millions every year, although the exact mechanism is not known (I have lots of health problems because of it, but no good test to show it except bad sleep patterns at places with high air pollution).

We also know the solutions: electric cars (I just bought my first), heat pumps with electric heating, and reversing aging.
Has twitter stopped showing entire threads now? This isn't the first twitter post I've seen today that only shows the parent post and nothing beyond that.
> billions of DNA base pairs controlling their behavior

Total genome size of C elegans is 100M.
But why would they (should they) honour that? And it doesn't seem their policy there is very clear or explicit. Doesn't it also mean that in cases where a domain changes hands, the new owner would be able to purge the content of the previous owner, etc. etc.? Total lack of transparency around it is concerning.
Yes, but this will backfire on ARM, where jumps are as roughly fast as conditional arithmetic.

The whole point of using C is not to think about the underlying architecture. As soon as you start taking "jumps are a lot slower than conditional arithmetic on x86" into account, you're not writing in C, you're writing in assembly with extra steps :-)
Which event are you referring to?
It's not random people, it's some company that does it: https://www.rolling-rotors.de/

It's done at scale, not a random regular picture here and there. It's all 360 and almost indistinguishable from Google's material. You can only tell by the car and the logo on its roof, which hasn't been cropped out unlike Google's pictures.
Another good reason to write optimization-friendly C (or similar) over assembly code, especially in libraries, is that the compiler will evolve with CPUs, while the assembly code will not.

I've seen plenty of cases where replacing hand-written assembly with C (or similar) lead to a substantial performance increase because the assembly code was written for some old CPU and not the best way of doing things on current CPUs.
Ha, yeah I had that thought after I posted.
Under GDPR, if you process personal data, you are required to have a clear scope: which data, why, for how long is it retained, under which legal basis (articles 5 and 6), etc. Selling data later would be a misappropriation of legal basis.

It's not only about exact simulation. And we actually do understand how birds can fly on a mechanical basis. This is not true for C.elegans' inner workings.
