Apple is upfront about it and I knew what I was getting (and not getting). To be honest, i can barely ever use any of my software the way i want it.

Obsidian's sync service for example has dark patterns and is a lot closer to your definition of malware as they are hiding how their sync works (versioning, bugs they know but don't advertise, merge conflicts that destroys data etc).

> I bet that would see that as a problem you would want to fix right away.

No. But I also don't know what "fix" means in this context? Not use Obsidian? As using Android is not an option.
Toyota's HSD is pretty brilliant, and uses planetary gears that can blend electric/engine 0-100% depending on needs. The engine is never "disconnected" when the electric motors are the ones providing power.
Found this resource that I think it is super helpful. It sums up all the places where you can post your cool projects!
> If that seems ridiculous, you now have an idea what “hi” is like for remote workers.

I've been remote for 10+ years. I've never once had a problem telling someone "hi", even on large teams. I do find that the people concerned about these type of "micro productivity" issues tend to make for un-harmonious team members and ultimately drag down the productivity of the team, often to the point of chasing out good employees with their toxic attitudes.
>> the infrastructure to run a billion (real) people is going to cost you an epic fuckton

> Let's charge $2/year to be on the safe side. We've now raking in $16 billion a year

With 1 billion users, $2/year gives you $2B/year, not $16B/year.

> offer some dividend

Honestly, I think we explicitly don't want this. We should go for a non-profit model, where the company is required to put most/all of its revenue toward running the business, and cannot distribute dividends. If we have shareholders and dividends and whatnot, that's just an incentive for the owners to push for greater profits so their dividends go up.

You mention utilities, and that just makes me think of my local electric/gas utility, PG&E, which is a public, for-profit corporation, listed on a stock exchange. Years ago they even used to pay a dividend. They completely suck, and have been responsible for people's deaths. This is not at all the model we should strive for when it comes to a social-network-as-utility.
> Sharing this purely to be as transparent as possible with our members.

LOL, is that really the reason they were sharing it? In other words, the members can be equally confident that the cutesy rejection emails that get shared are going to be alongside the desperate sellout ones should that time ever come?
I don't think every mathematician can read any formula, no matter of the field and how advanced it is.

And for developers it's the same. However, I'll grant that PLs are evolving faster than math does, so there is more catchup-required for sure. But without that there would be much more limited progress. Think lambdas: before they were an "elite feature" and now they are everywhere and languages have adopted them and people had to learn new syntax.
At scale? Not in a few weeks, and not with all the features, but the core features don't seem like a stretch for a small team, without scale in a couple months.

Meta/Instagram luckily already have a large scale social network, tons of money, and tons of engineers and a codebase that deals in users and text and images already, so it's a pretty good head start.
Personally mine are the fact that this isn't really "zero trust", but more "infinitely diffuse trust" where every user has to trust every application. None of the packaging alternatives I'm aware of seem to yet have their security story in line where they are either secure enough (without breaking most software) to not have to trust every application or provide some level of assurance themselves comparable to the debian maintainers.
Of the 3 announced, 2 of them were anonymous and the 3rd was Shopify.

This feels like the sort of thing that could be easily solved with technology. Something like: if I receive a message on slack with the message hi, how are you, hello, or something similar, wait 15 minutes to notify me about it. For all other messages, notify me as normal.
Cinder's feature set is highly optimized for IO bound web services that run under a forked-worker model.

For example: you start a main process, warm it up with a few requests, run the JIT compiler and then fork off worker processes to handle the main chunk of traffic.

As of now, it requires hand-tuning to get the best possible performance.

In terms of use cases, Cinder does the best when faced with "business logic" code (lots of inheritance, attribute lookups, method calls, etc). It can speed up numerical computations too, but you're probably better off using a library if that's the majority of the workload.

The Chat-GPT models are all pre-prompted and pre-aligned. If you work with davinci-003, it will never say things like, "I am an OpenAI bot and am unable to work with your unethical request"

When using davinci the onus is on you to construct prompts (memories) which is fun and powerful.

====

97% of API usage might be because of ChatGPT's general appeal to the world. But I think they will be losing a part of the hacker/builder ethos if they drop things like davinci-003, which might suck for them in the long run. Consumers over developers.
Just a heads up: If you are more interested in being effective than being an evangelist, beware.

While you can run all kinds of GPTs locally, GPT-4 still smokes everything right now – and even it is not actually good enough to not be a lynchpin for a lot of cases yet.
YES. I completely 100% agree. Try to minimize the number of messages you're going to send. Just saying "Hi" and then also saying what you want to ask just makes my phone ring twice instead of once and that just gets more annoying with each subsequent message you send before I have a chance to respond.
I assume that the person is gathering their thoughts and give them plenty of time without replying anything at all.
I'd love to see lazy imports become part of the upstream at some point.
Eh...I just went to ABRP, told it to map me from LA to SLC, assuming 500 kg (1,100 lbs) of extra weight, 0 C temperatures, and some extra range anxiety (Arrive at each charger with at least 30% battery), and it STILL only estimated a total of 12 hours.
Oh no, I can't delete my account with one day of posting history. So what? And you can only use your Instagram username anyway, so it's not like you can say you accidentally picked an embarrassing name and want to delete it.
For anyone new to aliases, you can add them with:

alias my_alias="command"

Add it to your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zprofile so it's ready whenever you are. Check out this page for more info: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-create-bash-aliases/
You probably had the JRE installed already, unless you were particularly security-conscious. Even many who were security conscious had it installed. Runescape was also compatible with the MSJVM, though the window of time where that mattered was short.
This is not the first university where grad students have unionized. Most of the UC's have been unionized for decades.
Oh, I have quite a few of them, from increased resource usage, proprietary aspects, through forced updating and more. The forced updating is particularly unacceptable.

But, the 10,000 ft view is that they reduce the amount of control I have over my system. They offer restrictions I chafe at while giving me no benefit that I care about.

I'm not going to sit here and say they shouldn't exist. That they're not to my taste doesn't mean that others who like them shouldn't have them. But they're not to my taste at all.

After seeing systemd getting widely adopted (also not to my taste), if snaps (or flatpacks, although I am less allergic to those) join the party then that's just a clear indication that the Linux world and I have diverged too much and I need to move on.
This model destroys any reason for software to be open source. What's the point of having source code if you just run the binary provided by some party?

Reminds me of the early days of the tensorflow where everyone used whatever binary package worked an no one could run anyone else's code because people kept getting stale binaries somewhere in the stack.
> The lesson here is simple: you are living in a small niche. We all do. Your experience is not representative of anything but your own.

hmm, really disagree here. if you look at history the consolidation of "networks" is insane. we used to be way more fragmented, now if you pick the top 10 social networks worldwide you probably cover 90%+ of the internet connected population. hell, Facebook alone has 40% MAUs of all living humans!

a few hundred years ago what eg newspapers had that kind of reach? nothing even remotely in the same league.
Hey, thank you for feedback! At the moment, there's only three:

1. CDJ 3000
2. Specre
3. Circle

But I was working on another two and decided not to include in the first version:

4. Trip (https://cdn.banger.show/visuals/160-Tequila-Funk-Drop-The-Bo...)
5. Perimeter (https://cdn.banger.show/visuals/1579016767_flux-pavilion-i-c...)

Be careful if your internet traffic is limited, videos are not compressed/optimized and 150-300mb both.
The version that's friendly to the compiler is described in part two: https://owen.cafe/posts/the-same-speed-as-c/

It achieves 3.88GiB/s

I intentionally didn't go down the route of vectorizing. I wanted to keep the scope of the problem small, and show off the assembly tips and tricks in the post, but maybe there's potential for a future post, where I pad the input string and vectorize the algorithm :)
This looks more like a minecraft discord channel than an actual product.
Exactly. This is all over engineered thinking. They probably pulled the core Instagram engineering team and gave them a new task. They used what they had.
You could turn them off, you know.

Yes, 20 years ago we were able to customize software for use. Mindblowing, I know.

That’s the point—it’s ambiguous. It’s better to use more words to indicate what you’re saying hi for than to try and force me to acknowledge you by hiding your reasons up front. That is a form of manipulation.
Also given Jack's behaviour recently not sure how committed he is to trust/safety.

He is definitely sympathetic to unfettered free speech and allowing misinformation to proliferate.
I pay monthly for my API use but I am not a plus subscriber and I don't see this option. Also I've joined the plugins waiting list on day 1.
Is it? Or is a massive industry forming around a still small group of hackers?

Maybe the two are groups are not the same. Someone getting into software to make money is different to the kid who couldn't put the computer down. There are people that want to hack on software and others that want to solve business problems with computers for profit.
Yeah definitely because FB brand is trashed. Instagram still has decent branding and many people don't even realize it's the same company.

I also imagine their accounts infrastructure is more app-driven on Instagram and was easier to integrate into a new platform without inheriting ~20 years (wow!) of tech debt from FB.
On the editing text at least, I recommend one of the soft, foldable or rollable keyboards with bluetooth and a phone mount. Walked India and Nepal a few years ago while writing posts and software when I hit hostels or hotels and it worked quite well. There's some fairly lightweight ones (also fairly cheap) that also have touchpads, which may help with the feeds and finding answers.
It depends on tolerance. In electronics you allow for tolerance (+/- 5%). In carpentry you allow for tolerance (+/- 5mm). In cooking we allow for a huge tolerance (a pinch of salt! To Taste!) In delis, we allow for tolerance (ask for 100g of sliced ham, get more like 105g of sliced ham).

But when creating a small circle on a computer screen, we suddenly use a dozen decimal places where one or two (and sometimes no decimal place) would do.
>for an update to break just because I didn't update for a month,

I don't understand why people thing infrequent updates will break things. This idea seems to have started spreading a few years ago, but nobody I ask can tell me why Arch would break if you didn't update frequently enough.
It has some elements of WSGI, but has expanded into its own thing which supports asyncio (this happened before ASGI was a thing).
It works extremely well - it guarantees you know* someone on the social network. No empty feeds, no literally-no-one to talk at, you have someone you can ask questions about the site, etc.

Speaking from experience working on a social site with loads of signup flow experiments: the results are consistently wild. It's no competition on all the normally-valued metrics like interactions and retention.

*for some degree of "know" anyway. Better in most cases than "the news talked about this tweeter thing"

(edit: I do think they may have missed what might be the biggest boat sailing party, which was probably a mistake. But invite-only is quite reasonable.)
"welfare, healthchare, social security, etc"

Healthcare: Some people get unlucky with genetic lottery and will require far more cost in care than others. Some type of universal coverage still needs to exist imho.

Social security: Unfortunately, not everyone is good with money. Social security is a mechanism for balancing out and restributing wealth, but it's also an investing service for those who don't know how to.

I'm not against some type of UBI, but there are some downsides with getting rid of existing programs. imho.
> I highly recommend you use a minimum amount of extensions anyway.

Stylus, Privacy, Bypass Paywalls, and OneTab are up there in "essential" extensions.
Wordiness is not always a virtue. The absence of your specific phrasing does not imply what you seem to think it implies. If you read a headline and make a bunch of assumptions that is on you. This is beyond criticism of clickbait and getting into pearl-clutching over minor semantics. You can nit-pick just about every headline that is pithy enough to be fit for print for omitting important details and context from the story. That's why headlines and articles fill distinct roles within journalism. Go figure.
Brazil’s Nubank Is Leaving U.S. Digital Banks in the Dust
Most people can’t afford to put 20% down on their first home anymore. We only did 3.5% on a ~$230k home.

If we waited to save up 20% we still wouldn’t have bought a house because it would have taken several more years and then the home prices jacked up 40% during the pandemic. Instead our home went up in value by that much instead.

For your example house they’d have to have saved up $70,000 ahead of time. For people that rent and aren’t in tech that’s not too feasible, especially considering they may have that much in student loans also.

I know a couple that managed to do it but they lived (as a married couple) with their parents for several years instead of renting so they could save up for it.
Almost all EU, the UK, US, Australia, NZ, etc. Even though all of them are far from perfect, it's still significantly better than in most places elsewhere.

France is currently following a path close to what Hungary did before, with a steady reduction in press freedom, political freedom, and individual freedom, coupled to a progressive erosion of the rule of law (a significant recent example came from the protests regarding the pension reforms: the government started banning most protests, but the ban was almost systematically lifted by courts. Then the government took a shady approach: the protests were banned, but the official text for the ban weren't published anymore as they should, so it could not be contested in front of courts, and people who still went to the protests got arrested for “attending to a banned protest”, and detained up to 48 hours (no justification needed, no recourse) before being released with no charge).

For sure France isn't PRC, but there's a full spectrum between ideal democracies and totalitarian dystopia, and France is much closer to what's called “Illiberal democracies” than to the former.
You are not professional if you are not aligning with the values that are being optimized for the context. There should be an explicit decision tree setup for your work context that informs you what those values are. If not have some conversations and align.
Time to unionize over that crap
I'm curious on what keeps the prices for these products so high. You'd think with the kind of competition this industry has (all providing the same type of functionality, kinda), you'd see more of a race to the bottom. But when you go to quote, you start seeing a really bizarre pattern where it's almost the same price per feature across the board. I'm not saying it's price fixing, but something's not right here.
Just curious, why did you think it wouldn’t be?
It's a social issue, not a technological one. People just need to be ok communicating with people who have different styles. Most people do not care to optimize their communication like this and will have a more natural way of speaking, including starting a conversation with "hi".
Just ignore the 'hi'-sayers. Either they will go away or they will state the matter. Make sure their message is marked as read, so that they would understand.

Yes, it's a disaster. A lot of industries are out to maximize profits, even if it means destroying their own product. What economic forces would drive you to ruin their product? Are these corporations looking ahead economically and concluding it's best to destroy their product and just accept the money?
the question is better phrased as, "can elon prove they did", because unless he can, they didn't, by default
I think "no hello" evangelists should emphasize that you can say hello if you want, as long as you follow up with your actual question/request in the same message. The point isn't that the "hello" itself is a critical waste of some human resource, but rather that interrupting somebody with "hello" and then making them wait for something actionable is disruptive and frustrating.

This may seem obvious to many, but I don't think it's universally understood.
That's definitely not the case for me, unfortunately. It seems like the selection of Shorts presented to me on the homepage has never evolved past its default content recommendations. Maybe I opted out of something at some point and they can't use my watch history for Shorts suggestions.

I don’t think it’s hard to argue that. We have multiple people in this thread, including myself, who understand that a thumbs up often denotes acknowledgment rather than acceptance, an “OK” rather than a “yes”. If I discuss an agreement with you and then send it over, and you send me a thumbs up, I’m still going to interpret it that way and follow up later for a clear confirmation.

I can see how the buyer might interpret it as acceptance, but it’s such a vague response that it was irresponsible not to follow up, and I can’t help but disagree with the decision in this case.

Pretty crazy stuff — perfectly understandable translations.
There are several reasons.

1. There's no software specifically developed for webassembly, unlike for x86, ARM, and the other architectures.

2. Webassembly itself was designed by software people, not hardware people. As such, it's probably doesn't make as much sense to implement directly in hardware. Doubly so when combined with reason #1.

3. Webassembly doesn't belong to any hardware manufacturer, and therefore nobody has any incentive to introduce a line of native webassembly machines.

Most times, you would get ten times the value by taking the money you would spend on these tools, hiring a security engineering department, and letting them build you tools backed by open source software.
If they're performing their duty correctly, a video of their work should not be harmful to them at all.

Situations like this are the only time I feel the saying "if you don't have anything to hide, you'd let people look" is appropriate, when concerning people with power "over" common folk. This wouldn't apply to officers doing plainclothes or undercover work, as there would be no reason for a bystander to assume they were a police officer being abusive or doing their job incompetently. This would apply to uniformed officers going outside of the bounds of what is reasonable. It's not a perfect solution, no, but it's a lot better than "uniformed officers have a right to privacy while uniformed and officering, and it is morally wrong to film them in the process of wrongdoing".

There must always be strong checks on authority, lest it be abused. Perhaps the US is up there in the list of offenders, but then again they're not the worst offender in the world by far. Any modern democratic nation is susceptible to authoritarians and fascists wresting control if they don't institute strong protections against it happening.
