> To me, dismissing socialization as "making no sense"

Who did dismiss socializing?

We are talking about (quote) social happenings (unquote) among famous people who happen to be famous just because they exploited marketing strategies to become famous for the sake of being famous, with no other talent than being born rich.

In that contest the content doesn't make any sense, there is no reason why this year you should wear green and the next one yellow (but it applies only to Hollywood for some reason...[1] do we know what's trendy now in Myanmar? I don't think so), it's a completely random thing, that also has no impact on anybody's life, nothing bad happens if you do not do it and since most of us will never end up on the cover of fashion magazines and tabloids, why should we care about it?

Nobody said that you shouldn't have a BBQ with your friends and family and participate in a proper social gathering.

[1] the most simple explanation is that these people live basically in a confined space and only associate with other people who happen to live like they do, so if one of them wears a fedora at a party in one of their villas, probably someone else will wear it too, photographers find 3 of them and invent the narrative around "this is the year of the fedora"

It's Black Mirror's Mazey Day basically, but if one thinks about it, apart from greed, exploitation and lack of better things to publish, there's not much to gain by studying it, except maybe become one of them or more probably look like a poorer less glamorous cosplayer of one of them.
The most forgiving explanation is they are acting as a middle man, to avoid telling sellers who the customers really are.

But why would StubHub avoid admitting they are doing that? SeatGeek just has you transfer the tickets to an email at their own domain (at least when you use the free returns feature).

Only thing I can think is they want to make it hard for the ticket seller to block them, but again SeatGeek doesn't seem concerned.
NTSC, 1950: "Hey, it looks like we can create a compatible color broadcast standard by modulating the carrier phase relative to an initial subcarrier burst at the beginning of each scanline. Nifty!"

ATSC, 2023: "Hey, it looks like we can sell more crap by force-feeding each viewer a targeted ad break for their specific targeting profile. Kewl beanz!"

And people wonder why I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords...
8 years ago, Musk's personal issues were less visible, but now they're apparent at a distance (from beyond the Karman line, let's say).
Fair, thanks for the feedback :)

It's also annoying to build this stuff on serverless platforms. Love it or hate it, they're here to stay and one of our principles is that we should meet you where you're at — setting this stuff up has always been infra and platform specific; we don't want that to be the case. Developers should be able to write code and have it work everywhere, ideally.
Can't really make out the tone of the question, but I'll try to answer anyway.

If by selling we refer strictly to "exchanged data for money", then no, based on the Senate report there is not direct evidence of that.

Based on the same report though, the tax sites had business agreements with Facebook to include the pixel and, again, even if they didn't receive any money per-se for that inclusion, they certainly benefited from it (via Lookalike Audience and generally, improved ad targeting).

So, does Facebook (and Google etc) sell your data? One can argue that technically they don't. Are they making a profit from having (and using) that data? I'll let you answer this question.
“In the deepest hour of the night, confess to yourself that you would die if you were forbidden to write. And look deep into your heart where it spreads its roots, the answer, and ask yourself, must I write?”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Reminds me of that quote. Rilke, a poet, was an apprentice to, Auguste Rodin, a sculptor, who taught Rilke how to be an artist. Although different disciplines, the nature of creativity and its manifestations are the same.

You are free to respond or not as you wish, but you aren’t important enough for me to take the steps that would be necessary to remember this request and who made it (if it was 1990s usenet, I could just drop you in a killfile, but alas, “progress” isn’t always all its cracked up to be.)
Chat programs are not stores. That part was responding to the analogy of boycotts and elections.

Chat programs are also not clubs. There is no associated identity. No hardcore WhatsAppers it Telegrammers.

In fact, if you regularly meet actual humans, you might find out that most of them simply don’t care.

You dislike WhatsApp? Give them something equally convenient but that cares about privacy and they will just use it. Refuse to add them on WhatsApp and if you are an interesting person they will install whatever you use, even Signal, to stay in touch.
It has a purpose: survival. Bigger groups have a better chance of surviving all kinds of adversities - and especially conflicts with other groups. Once you have enough humans in an area that they start to compete for resources, being a part of the larger group suddenly becomes critical for survival. This makes for a very strong selection pressure for group size, and starts a scaling race. If you want your people to thrive, you need to scale up faster than your neighbors. People who didn't want to scale their group - perhaps saying to themselves things like "scale needs to have some purpose", or "we are not ants or weeds" - those people all got absorbed into or killed by groups that did care.

IANAHistorian, but my current understanding is that this is the leading hypothesis for the rise of agriculture, and demise of hunter-gatherer groups - settling down to farm the land was, overall, a big quality of life downgrade compared to hunting and gathering, but it also could easily accommodate continued growth of population, wealth and knowledge. In contrast, hunting and gathering lifestyle was a scaling dead end. As a result, agricultural societies were quickly able to overtake and outcompete hunter-gatherers - where by "outcompete", I mean chase away, kill, absorb or even just outbreed them.

Vaccines for herpesviruses are not easy to make because the virus can evade the immune system by laying dormant in nerves, among other things. It's just a tough family of viruses to pin down. There's a phase 1 EBV vaccine [1] but it'll be a while before we see progress.

> Why [social media]???

One of Musk's visions is "X, the everything app", like Chinese WeChat.

An everything app needs social network and messaging to drive adoption.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Corp.
I definitely still feel sadness and anxiety over the feeling that I'm wasting my life on something I don't care about, but it feels more manageable for me than the earth-shattering feeling of having nothing but one thing and that one thing isn't working out the way I thought it would.

Trade-offs indeed.
Maybe unrelated but Musk is boosting a Tucker Carlson interview with Andrew Tate on his other thing right now.
Well, usually governments don't just have one website. Different entities use different channels for official communications + Twitter which is the one everyone reads. Why not have a governments official mastodon for the governments official communication interoperable with the network everyone else is on?

This just doesn't make sense. If a broadcast is telling a TV to redirect to an internet stream; why not just go straight to the internet stream? That OTA spectrum is valuable...

Also: It seems like whoever's pushing this forgot that people are really, really getting sick of ads. A major part of the rise of online streaming is... Lack of ads.

The whole article looks like one of those "pie in the sky" tech utopia visions that never pans out.
But the RPi is broadcom and arguably the best supported. Obviously this is special.

From experience I agree with you, the chipmakers suck because they utterly fail to be open source when they're one of the groups that needs it the most. It is to the extent that I would advocate for laws in the theme of right-to-repair to force chip vendors to provide source for necessary code to use their products to consumers. (in this case open source in the narrowest definition, they can keep their copyrights but would be required to distribute source to end users in a form and with a license that makes them usable)

If the question is "are any of the SBCs worth the trouble?" and the default answer is no unless I have a really good reason and want to dedicate the time to building the janky software stack (I don't), or they're from a small list of vendors I'd trust won't be a mess (RPi, nvidia, beagle, ... that's it off the top of my head)
I'm a one-man shop, and it's been pretty hard.

Best work coming my way is always from non-tech companies. Companies whose core skills include tech pay very poorly, ask for a lot and come with the downside that youll be working on their current stack, so you get no choice over what tech to use
Twitter is not remotely the start of what's wrong with Elon Musk. His companies have all been stupidly and impulsively managed and he only succeeds because most of the time he doesn't get sued for contract violation, blocking roads, financial fraud, or wildlife destruction.

He was not good with cars, he forced himself into a leadership role at Tesla, made changes that ran over budget, then blamed it on the real founder (Martin Eberhard) and engaged a hostile takeover. Then he violated contract by not giving him the first produced Tesla, keeping it for himself, and instead giving away the second which broke shortly after. Also his employees there all avoid him because he randomly fires underlings in fits of rage.

Tesla autonomous vehicles have always been far behind their competition, he got some guy straight out of college to lead the work, claimed that they first have to solve full sentient AI (???) before cars can drive themselves, and now that fresh grad is working at Apple or something.

I'm not going to talk about the horrendous injustice of his investor fraud for Solar City or his numerous OSHA violations or the time he lied about sleeping in a Tesla factory for a year.

SpaceX has repeatedly failed to deliver on contracts with NASA so they can pursue the UNGODLY STUPID Starship project and idiotic point to point rocket launch projects. Elon claims he'll convert Ocean oil rigs into rocket launch pads which is an impossibly dumb idea (is he trolling us??), and he fires rockets in Boca Chica at a scale he is NOT authorized to do at times he is NOT authorized to do, and has actually ruined many of the locals' lives. They literally had to evacuate their homes. His failed launches also have burned down wildlife preserves home to critically endangered cats and turtles. SpaceX employees wrote an open letter begging him to stop bullshitting about what their real work is, and he fired everyone who signed it.

Also he still hasn't delivered the sex robots he promised me. What the hell, Elon?

Iirc all but one of the scientists working on Neuralink have left because he kept lying about their work and treating them very poorly. He claimed the end goal is to play Star Craft??

But worst of all, in one interview he was asked if he prefers Emacs or Vim. He fumbled over his words for awhile and obviously didn't know anything about either of them, but he did understand that tech literate people are supposed to have an opinion on this, so eventually he managed to say it probably doesn't matter or something. Obviously Emacs is the far superior choice, shame on you Elon.
Large reason why MS has been embracing Rust recently... IIRC, they have their first rust based dll replacement in testing now. May take a while to see even half of it shift over though.
I always thought Republicans are pro big business and Democrats are pro mega corps.

> it got out of control, then people quit

Can confirm, that's how it went for me and at least a few friends who I've talked to about it. I went from rarely drinking to heavily drinking to now drinking even more rarely. I let it get way too out of control (mostly in frequency, nothing life-destroying or dangerous to anything/anyone but my body potentially) and even after admitting it was an issue it took a while before I kicked it. Glad I did. It made me look at drinking in a whole new light, especially about just how pervasive it is in society. The joke I've heard a number of times before along the lines of "It'd never get approved if it was introduced today" feels pretty apt. Even something like marijuana seems many times safer than alcohol.
The comically small town of Winters has two - Berryessa Brewing and Hoobies. Both great. Closer to Dixon/Davis, Ruhstaller is a blast - especially on weekends.
Tldr: you can bring your open source project to CNCF and if there are enough infra/platform developers vouching for it then you can become an incubated project.
After that, there is a bunch of boxes (traction, integration, stability) that you need to check before CNCF endorses you as a graduated project.
As an everyday user of an Intel Compute Stick I can empathize with this.

I think you're wrong about the Intel portfolio though; Arc GPUs are another line that is going to be unceremoniously cut in a few years.

I mean I could be wrong, but Intel has gotta be looking at Nvidia's Hopper or AMD's MI300 DATA oriented architectures and wondering why the Arc team is trying to make $750 gaming computers. Xe GPUs are going a different direction from consumer Arc GPUs already anyways.

Yesterday I had the case where I needed to create analytics tables in Clickhouse based on typescript types for around 150 types.

Thought I'd give it a try and gave chatGPT 2 examples of existing tables and the corresponding TS types and asked it if it understood what it should do next.
It explained the existing logic and also 2 edge cases hidden (e.g. if a type was boolean the column was UInt8 (to save 0/1))

Then I pasted all types in batches of 15 in and it generated with only 2-3 corrections needed, probably saving me around 1-2h of manual checking and/or creating. It understood that certain fields are non LowCardinality and therefore not used it.

Well, if you want to run macOS, you have one choice, if you want to run Windows or Linux, you have 1000 choices. This will drive profit margins among the 1000 choices to roughly zero
Okay, so is there actual documentation for the SoC used on this critter? I mean a full Databook / Technical Reference Manual, not maybe 30 pages of overview, maybe a list of register base addresses (if you're lucky), and a pile of Linux kernel patches (upstream if you're lucky, but still of less value to someone wanting to actually write code for / port something to the SoC) or an "SDK" containing a bunch of low quality vendor code for the peripherals.

I'd love to see a RISC-V SoC (not just a dinky little MCU) that has real / complete documentation. So far I have yet to find any for any of the various RISC-V based SBCs that have shipped.
I once had a homeless fella ask me to buy him a beer by name: Voodoo Ranger. Which is like 9% alcohol, sold in 16oz cans.

As casual drinkers drink less, maybe we're not the target market …
Correct. Here’s a pro-tip that also applies at work, when you email your manager: make it as easy as possible for the person to help you. If you ask for an intro to someone, write an email that is ready to be forwarded, as is, and already has all the context that the person you are trying to reach would need. So manager or relation just has to hit forward, type a little note to their contact at the beginning of the email, and they are done.
To give a specific example, the EU has a funding programme called NGI to support 'next generation internet' projects. Some (all?) of this money is distributed through a small organisation called NLNet, who have decided to support a number of Fediverse projects:

- Mastodon: https://nlnet.nl/project/Mastodon/

- Lemmy: https://nlnet.nl/project/Lemmy/

- Pixelfed: https://nlnet.nl/project/Pixelfed/

- Misskey: https://nlnet.nl/project/Misskey/

- Bonfire: https://nlnet.nl/project/Bonfire/

And quite a few more. Honestly, I'm not sure how much of the ActivityPub ecosystem would exist without this funding.

Hey thanks for the comparison - Temporal is a powerful tool. There are definitely similarities with what Inngest is capable of. Here are a few differences to highlight:

- We’ve taken a different approach that removes the queue and worker abstraction from the end developer and instead uses an HTTP-based invocation. This enables Inngest functions to be run on any platform, including serverless.

- Inngest is powered by events which gives developers the ability to fan out work and build event-driven flows easily.

- Inngest also allows you to coordinate across events, enabling workflows to pause and wait for additional input (step.waitForEvent [1]). This is powerful for human-in-the-middle workflows (e.g. AI confirmation flows) or workflows that pause for days or weeks and conditionally run steps depending on what a user might do in your system (e.g. dynamic email drip campaigns)

- Lastly, events also provide a nice way to easy replay of your workflows across any time window.

- One last thing is that we’ve heard many times that while devs are often quite excited about Temporal, they’ve found Inngest to be much easier to learn and build with. We’ve intentionally worked to make our first SDK with the simplest primitives so their workflows just look like normal code, with minimal DSL.

that's a fair question. it's our policy to support existing open source tools/companies as much as we can[0]

Andrew is working hard on pgvector, and his goals are aligned to ours (and the industry's). We'll continue to support him as long as that's true.

> one of the slowest

Benchmarks are simply a snapshot in time - there's nothing fundamentally flawed with pgvector, it just needs more support and some better indexes (which are already being worked on)

> it plays every new sponsorship pitch once

Perhaps once in a specified amount of time. Every two weeks? Sometimes I forget things and a reminder isn't inappropriate. Spread over all channels if possible, rather than once per channel per period.

Also rather than silently skipping, perhaps a couple of seconds pause with “sponsor segment for <product> skipped” displayed, at least as a default the individual users can switch off.
You have so many more practical options for even amateur security auditing on Linux. You can trivially spin up a temporary OS/chroot/container and run your specimen inside it, or run it under strace and log every system call, or statically sift through an executable for strings like IP addresses in an instant using basic tools. Bash install scripts can simply be grepped. It's an environment that gives the user control by default, and as such it's that much harder for executables to gain the upper hand.

Obviously you don't do that for every binary you run, but you have options if there's something you're a bit suspicious of.

> just getting the fiber to each exchange likely costs many many millions.

I've never worked in US financial markets, but that's def not true in many countries.

I feel the same, but PR works, and so people can change their public persona successfully.
I know a bunch of classical musicians, and while they study and work hard they all have steady gigs for one or more ensembles & orchestra's.

From the outside it feels somewhat more doable to be a pro , then a band or solo-artist, since there are quite a few orchestra's around that hire people on a stable basis. Spots are limited, but it's not super hard.
Really? I tried to read the first few chapters but couldn't get into it... just seemed like so much unnecessary detail. What might be a minute or two in the movies took forever in the books.

Maybe I'll give it another shot though, based on what you said
Why would you need root on a typical linux system? A program running under your user account can alter config (in your home directory) to make sure it always runs when you log in, can add programs to your path by altering your path, can access all your personal files and can debug-attach to all processes and do what it likes with them (and your personal data) in order to spread mayhem. A lack of root access seems irrelevant to an individual user.

Android is more secure by not acting like a typical Linux install; it's not really evidence of Linux being a tricky target.
Yeah, I had the same experience with the BeagleBone AI-64. Their documentation is extremely lacking. To make it worse, the whole point of the board is TI's ML inference accelerator, and TI's documentation and sample code for it are completely useless.

The Beagle hardware is great but it seems to me they just don't have the resources or focus to support the hardware they release.
