That’s the problem, though, isn’t it? The vast majority of content that people see is low effort garbage that is pushed by media companies that are just looking to make a quick dime off of advertising revenue, and that’s very easy to do with AI.

Ad-based “news” is always going to have this problem, because getting clicks just requires getting people to the page; the quality of the content doesn’t matter nearly as much as the headline. The incentives for quality content just don’t exist in the current business model.

Paywalls obviously aren’t the solution, either, because news is nothing, now if it can’t be shared, and paywalls stop that dead. It also takes time and effort to build a brand, as you rightly stated before. The other important factor is how easy it is to lose trust in that brand, which means high stringent and transparent fact checking needs to be a part of the solution, alongside _proper_ retractions when someone _does_ get it wrong.

The only way I can imagine things improving is for independent journalists to get together to ditch the big media outlets and find some real solution to monetizing their work and keeping everyone accountable to accurate reporting. Obviously that’s much easier said than done.

The uni-party keeps them all rich. They are corrupt politicians who know the corrupt FBI people very well. Both keep each other in check as a kind of mutually assured destruction.

This means they can keep the money and power pipeline to themselves by using that to kick out anyone who does the wrong thing. Want to argue about gender or abortion? They fundamentally don't care either way. Want to deal with insider trading or stop our wars? You get your dirt dumped and the entire machine turns against you.
This looks pretty neat! Reminds me of the early 2000s when everyone around me was messing around with rainmeter (Which I believe is still around) but this seems like it might be much more accessible.
1 atmosphere is still basically nothing, due to the incompressiblity of meat. The article goes into this. It mentioned that high-pressure machines reach 10,000 atmospheres. That's a lot more that 1.

Rather, what that (comparatively) low pressure of a pressure cooker is doing is raising the temperature at which water will boil. So that means that the meat will become way hotter. Much hotter, in fact, than putting it in a scorching hot oven, because even in a hot oven the inside of the meat can only go above 100⁰C when the water inside boils away.

>The cornerstone of a fair tax system is to avoid double taxation

That's pretty arguable. To me, "fair" simply means that we all obey the same rules. Those rules can be anything we want, if we think they'll make society work better. In our current system, taxes are levied on money movement, which serves important functions. These functions include signalling to the economy which activities we'd like to encourage and discourage, and providing fair and proportionate funding to government services which deal with that specific activity. For instance, road tax is levied only on car users, and goes towards the maintenance of the infrastructure which car users disproportionately benefit from. That is much more "fair" than what you are suggesting. When you use terms like "double taxation", you are presupposing that tax is "attached to a person", and that income tax is the only "valid" form of tax, which is a radical departure from how most of the world thinks about tax - a fact you acknowledge.

>It makes no sense for you, as an individual, to compare yourself to a corporation.

I agree with this, but probably not the way that you mean.

Apple isn't even a person. It deserves no consideration of things like "rights" and "personal sovereignty". It's merely an organization - essentially, a pile of paperwork - that exists entirely subordinate to the parameters that we agree on through the engine of representative democracy, which is our current best effort at creating an avatar of societal cooperation, for the benefit of all. Ethically, we would be entirely within our rights to tax Apple at a rate of 100%, if we felt it would be a net benefit to society as a whole.

I'm not really sure what "the problem" with this is? Like we all do know that the point of pharma companies is to make money, and that things like 'helping people' are just incidental byproducts of that fact.

If pharmaceutical development was government run, I'd understand the outage at lowering the quality of life of US citizens; but faceless corporations literally cannot act in a way that is not financially optimal without committing a crime.
I can tell you that there exist environments which are not cut-throat and that are cooperative.

Rational individuals understand immediately that cooperation gives more return than its opposite. If you show to be an asset, you are everybody's asset. Sure, there is an epidemic of irrationality - but it did not hit every environment, and there exist cultures which had that idea of cooperation permeated societally. (Especially as the whole point of "society" is cooperation.)

Bun is awesome. The only thing missing, for me at least, is streaming support (specifically for Server Sent Events [1]). Not sure if this release fixes it.

Nevertheless, have moved on to Go for servers so I don't really feel the need to go back to a Typescript/Javascript environment again. Rust is awesome for low level stuff. So quite happy with the combo of Go (for servers) and Rust (for everything else backend).

The sum of a linear combination of Gaussians is Gaussian but that's not what the CLT is talking about. It is saying that the distribution of _sample means_ taken from some distribution is Gaussian. The distribution of means of samples talked about by the CLT is quite different from the underlynig distribution. Its variance is \sigma^2/n if the original distribution has variance of \sigma^2 for example. It does have the same mean as the underlying distribution however.

Edit to add: Here's a small python program so you can run it in a jupyter notebook or something and see for yourself:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
broken_dice_probabilities = [int(x!=3)*0.2 for x in range(6)]
broken_dice_sides = [x+1 for x in range(6)]
n=1000000
population = np.random.choice(broken_dice_sides, replace=True, p=broken_dice_probabilities, size=n)
ax=sns.histplot(population)
ax.set_title("Underlying population")
plt.show()
n_samples = 100000
sample_size = 20
clt_samples=np.zeros(n_samples)
for i in range(n_samples):
this_sample = np.random.choice(population, replace=True, size=sample_size)
clt_samples[i]=np.mean(this_sample)

ax=sns.histplot(clt_samples)
ax.set_title("Sample means")
plt.show()

I make a very obviously non-Gaussian distribution - a broken 6-sided die that cannot roll a four. You see the underlying distribution is uniform except one number where p=0, then I take samples from this distribution and plot their mean. Seeing is believing, the distribution of these is Gaussian. Now, note that you can keep sampling for infinity from the underlying distribution - the results will never be Gaussian.

This is cool though it contributes to the saturated "let's ship our own browser" space. I need a separate browser to play music, to play games, to communicate with people, to browse the web, and now to run a wallpaper. If only we had a way to use a single browser instance that is utilized by all of these. That's kind of been the selling point of the web all this time - write once and run almost everywhere. You shouldn't need to ship your own browser, though I understand we don't have that kind of capability standardized yet.

Yeah, and how is this different from the behavior V8/JavaScriptCore would already have on a system with very little memory? Unless this actually makes it possible to run on lower-memory systems than before, I don’t really see how it’s helpful. Unused memory is wasted memory and all that. I hope it’s using every last byte, not letting memory sit unused.

We’re not talking about software engineering. The recommendation to read a book about basic computing is obviously not intended for computer scientists.

Depending on your definition of “service” here, I’d argue that most code is not written to run services, and certainly not long-running services. Like, core-utils is a shitton of programs, and a shitton of code, and none of that runs as a service. Most of what you mentioned in your first comment aren’t services.

Bio researchers don’t write long-running services. They don’t even really understand how computers are allocating resources. They don’t know shit about putting an HPC cluster together and managing it. Are they not writing code?

I agree with the other person who said your education seems incomplete. Yours is a very narrow view of computers and computing.

The incompetenes of the government might have lead to desertification but that's merely scratching the suface level of the problems. The article is full of confirmation bias and tunnel vision from an author who wants to think his work is the center of the universe.

If you're seriously contemplating the author's idea, just try answering this simple question. If there was no desertification whatsoever, everything else the same, would the war still happen?

It's honestly disgusting to throw away the blood of people and their struggles, and try to frame it as some sort of fairytale butterfly effect.

Almost all of the issues you’re pointing out come from misunderstandings about derived state and side effects.

Derived state should be eliminated! If it can be derived, it’s not state.

If you aren’t trying to do derived state patterns, you don’t need to access the previous value. That’s a huge red flag. Likewise, “state” in useRef is a huge red flag. useMemo() is often a signpost pointing to bugs. If the useMemo cannot be removed without getting a different behavior in the application, that’s wrong—it might be slower, but the result should be the same with or without it.

It’s not a side effect free rendering model. Mouse interactions, requests, etc, are side effects; the pattern is side effect sets state and state defines the render. The problem happens when people try to “outsmart” this pattern and try to jump from side effect to outcome by subverting the state pattern, which makes them lose most of the advantages of react.

Any discussions around “triggering renders” or “preventing renders” before the component is behaving correctly are also big time red flags.

The WEI spec talks at length about how ads provide revenue for the web publisher. In that context, I'm pretty sure that the 'environment' they're talking about must ensure that the ads are shown. This would mean that the attester has to invasively check the browser/app to ensure that no ad blocker is running. That would mean that the attester is most likely a proprietary application running on the user's device.
I think it makes sense to appoint a CEO who can be dismissed or have their policies dismissed by a simple majority vote and who can be nominated and voted on by anyone during an election. That would help resolve disputes where different sections of the company can’t come to an agreement or similar. As a check on their power, they report to the shareholders and can be voted out at any time and unpopular policies can be voted out without ejecting the CEO so the shareholders still have full power over the company but they don’t need to vote on every single day to day action and there is someone to do a coin flip or arbitrate if there’s a disagreement.

With that said if your company is large enough this is necessary it may be too large to be a co op
