They do already know. They've already gotten a full briefing, and won't ask any questions that they don't know the answer to.

The purpose of the hearing is to do that again in public. In theory, the idea is to get the information distributed more widely. In practice, it's usually about grandstanding, so that the politicians get to make speeches on TV.
How different is staying in Palo Alto vs SF? And how long does it take getting between the two?
If you're going back and forth everyday, I would ignore every suggestion to stay outside SF, except for maybe stays in the Daly City-adjacent areas since more trains run through there. I travel to the Bay Area on occasion for work (and used to live there for a few years), the travel time + BART costs wouldn't be worth it IMO.

In terms of "Hacker houses", I've only known one person (a coworker) who stayed in one long-term, but he was pretty eccentric. He complained about his living situation a good amount, but, attempting to reduce some of his biases, they seem to be in a "you pay for what you get" type of situation.

Last suggestion: book an initial stay through a hotel/Airbnb with a short duration -- with the intent of finding a co-living space if you're really that intent on living in one. This will give you time to scope locations out _in person_ and potentially toss out options that only look good in advertisements.

>While with Netlify the person is back at exactly where they started //

Hmm, moving to a free service can take a lot of time, there might be lock-in?

I don't have specific experience of netlify.

I stayed with my hosting provider despite them doubling my costs just because it would take a long time to find another trustable provider with the offering I need and then a lot of time to move and make sure everything is working.

If it's just a white label service then yes, easy to switch back. If it's not directly comparable then integration costs (in time) can mean you've been "dumped in the road half way there".

Of course if the driver tells you directly "I might have to drop you half way" then that's fine.

I would say that's because those that literally control the narrative have a vested interest in not providing the actor's side of this.

But parts of it are quite simple.

One thing they want: The actors want to be paid residuals for their likenesses.

Right now, if you want to make Breaking Bad, you have to pay Bryan Cranston for months of filming. He has to be on set, he has to hit marks, remember lines, sit for hair and makeup, etc. Everything that is involved in creating a filmed product.

What the studios want to do is pay an actor for a day's worth of work, scan them, perform some motion capture, do some voice work, then be able to use that digital representation in perpetuity. Feed that data into ActorGPT and get years of films and shows out of that data. And never have to pay that actor another cent.

Another thing they want: Be paid streaming residuals. Streaming has made things more complicated for everyone in a lot of ways. The old system was easy enough to grok. You made a show. You put it on air. Sponsors bought time during your show. You could sell a syndication deal and sell even more commercial time from your show. You could sell physical media of your show. You could track that data.

Then Netflix came along. I think originally, Netflix paid NBC/Universal a flat fee to be able to host The Office for a set number of years. There's effectively no residual on that. And the streaming model is a bit different. Most services don't have ads. And those that do, I don't think they're geared towards individual programs (yet). They're just sort of algorithmically inserted. So really, you're looking to where someone's $12.99 is going. What they're trying to do is determine what percentage of a streaming service's revenue should be paid back to the creators of the content. And what percentage of that percentage should everyone get.

But the various streaming services don't really release that data.
vDSO doesn't provide a security boundary. vDSO basically provides a pure-userspace fastpath for syscalls, only making the real syscall if necessary. It's great for low-overhead read-only calls that cache well and that you're always allowed to do, like clock_gettime(2) -- but not much more. You can't implement all syscalls as vDSO; if it's a vDSO the goal is to not make an actual syscall at all.

Fuchsia might use vDSO-style things more as a way to replace the glibc-style syscall stubs, abstracting away the actual syscall ABI? That doesn't remove the actual syscall.

> why don't linux use vDSO for more things?

vDSO is much more complex to manage than traditional syscalls, can't be used for anything except pure read always allowed things, etc.

As for optimizing syscalls, it seems things are moving more toward io_uring and ringbuffers of messages going in/out of the kernel, with very few syscalls made after setup.
Why would they, if they have no knowledge of material he's seen and is testifying about?
Despite it not at all being the right tool for most jobs, this is why I actually enjoy writing spark. It reads top down, and is “sql-ish” for most commands. Enough that you don’t need to go out of your way to learn it if you already know SQL, you just think in terms of serial transformations.

I'm going to add Laird Hamilton towing in to Teahupoo 17 August 2000. While it has since been exceeded or replicated, at the time this was a big step above what anyone else had ever done. Most mere mortals (like myself) didn't even know a wave could do that, let alone be surfed. It was as if the entire ocean decided to shift 30 ft in the air before detonating on the reef. Here it is:

Is there a similar website for the "hacking" scenes?
And that has been done before (pretty much any movie with a crowd just duplicates extras or invents people) but these background, not famous actors, who do a lot of work that people don't seem to realize in order to make a movie feel more real, get paid average worker wages, which is fine.

But film companies were requesting jobs that included "we take a comprehensive copy of your likeness as an 'AI' whatever, and pay you for ONE DAY of work, and then instead of hiring you we just use that likeness in perpetuity, for the rest of time, and you don't get a dime for it"

That just doesn't make any sense IMO. It would be equivalent to a song writer training a LLM on just a single artist's songs and refusing to pay any sort of licensing or royalty.
>as though that's a source for UFOs rather than...history

Maybe you haven't watched the History Channel recently, but there is indeed a lot of stuff about aliens on there. Possibly more stuff about aliens than about actual history.

I appreciate the idea of community notes.

The problem is how widely a shit-tier or dangerous or bullshit tweet can spread, yet few people are going to click into it to read the replies, and there's no guarantee that a tweet that goes "Um, this is BS and here's why: <link>" is going to appear at the top.

There's probably a better implementation of community notes. Like perhaps a way to vote existing replies or quote replies into community-note-status which you might agree with. But the value is showing a countervailing message inline with the original tweet since that's all people are going to read.

You understand that you were asked for one, right? This is not one, this is a vague claim being repeated.

> he stated that "cis" will be disallowed on the platform

No, he didn't. He said that "cis" being thrown as an insult to people who didn't wish to be called "cis" wouldn't automatically be discounted as harassment. Maybe I'm wrong about this - can you find a single person that was banned or censored by twitter for saying "cis?"

> It's not hard to find instances.

If it's too hard for you to do, why do you expect others to believe you when you say this?

UFO stands for "Unidentified Flying Object" and doesn't necessarily mean anything extraterrestrial.

> You just got old. It happens to everyone, and every generation says the same thing: The music I enjoyed when I was young and impressionable was great, but all the stuff they make nowadays is crap.

Thing is, there are objective metrics about quality. One aspect is "loudness war" aka compression, where subjective loudness gets increased at the cost of dynamic range [1], another (in)famous aspect is the increasing use of auto-tune (both the software itself as well as the general principle after which it was named). Artists and especially producers love that shit because similar to standardization in fast-food it provides a "consistent" performance even in live productions - which is seen as "cheating" in music by older people, and I think for good reason.

On top of that there's an increasing tendency of producers to push for "bland" personalities as well instead of also taking risks, and it's not just music - it's movies as well: most movies aren't original productions any more, a lot of them is based off of prior IP (Harry Potter, MCU) or endless continuations (Star Wars, Star Trek) to recoup ever growing production and marketing costs.

Rethinking Window Management
When you manufacture the physical widget, manufacturing tolerances mean that not every widget is the same. There are variations in the as-produced widgets.

You need a QA/QC process to identify units which are too far out of tolerance and either remove them from the pipeline or remediate them. You also need to track trends in the measured tolerances to proactively fix your production equipment.

In the software world, that’s trivially easy. Your CI pipe publishes an artifact and then every user gets a bit-perfect copy of that artifact. Your entire QC is just: Users compare the artifact’s checksum to the expected checksum. It essentially always matches because we use things like TCP to copy the data.

The type of QA you’re talking about is also required for physical widgets.

I'm really, really interested in the way Elon's psyche works. He was touted as an IT gargantuan for so long, but to me (and this is only my opinion) he just seems... fairly... simple-minded. Some of his more brazen actions, such as this one just reinforce my opinion.
It is psychic in the sense that it makes educated guesses based on previous entries and the current database and schema. This is the same kind of educated guess it would make with a table name.
I agree with you.

This is why I think the idea of technocracy or "evidence based politics" is ultimately a mirage. Sure you can maybe assess some policy but the metrics you're choosing to measure or optimise for are political by their very nature. One's evidence based policy isn't the same as mine.

Health-outcomes-wise it would be better to force everyone to eat salad or whatever but that's only one dimension to optimise on at the expense of freedom and life enjoyment.

Tying it back to tech maybe going down market improves your conversion and lowers your CAC but maybe you've just acquired a bunch of customers with low value, high churn and high costs.

Maybe the sales of Amazon Prime are showing gangbusters returns with the dark patterns but now people loathe your brand and are hoping to see you hit with an FTC banhammer.

There's no silver bullet to this stuff, sure you should probably measure it but ultimately you have to make a decision and be guided by gut instinct and beliefs.

I have this (or something like it). You basically can retreat into a fantasy world that plays out like a movie with yourself as the main character. You can run through any number of imagined Walter Mitty scenarios and feel at least some echo of the emotions - enough to make it quite addictive. It's your standard power fantasy stuff really - imagine the gamut of those Reddit anecdotes that end with "and everyone burst into applause" the whole way up into being world king (why not, it's your daydream!)

So playing out scenarios in your head, essentially. Might sound harmless - there is no question of confusing these daydreams with reality - but you can find yourself retreating into the same ones again and again in a loop, especially when triggered by alcohol or music. I could put on my favourite songs and fantasize literally for hours, replaying the emotions. Endlessly scratching an endless itch. Obviously this might not be conducive with a productive life! I guess it would serve one well in solitary confinement.

I used to think everyone was like this, but it seems quite rare. I don't seem to have a bad case of it, I certainly wouldn't dream of trying to medicate it. But it does make me feel bad about myself sometimes when I overdo it.

Here's an article on it that may clarify more:

I'd rather use an imperfect product that does a good-enough job instead of waiting for a perfect product.

The perfect OS doesn't exist yet. Right now, I'd rather use some OS than no OS.

Why a perfect OS doesn't exist? Good question. Maybe because the programming field is relatively immature so we're still figuring things out and we don't apply formal verification to everything. Compare that to say, architecture, where we can calculate how much weight a structure can withstand. Or the other way around: what do we need to do to support an X amount of load.

I guess the stakes are lower too. I wouldn't walk on a wobbly bridge, but I don't mind if a desktop app I use crashes occasionally under unusual circumstances. Critical software (say, aviation) is generally written with more care but it's still not perfect.
Okay, but you know that "good" and "worse" and subjective, relative terms? Just because you have your own reasons for something doesn't make them "objective", you just don't like modern pop music.
I want something like this but for the whole display. Due to the security implications, obviously it would need the OS native support.

And kids still do it.

Heck, outside my middle school in NYC, they had a line-up specifically for regular transit buses that were scheduled to stop there just when school let out. The only kids that qualified for yellow school bus service were those that lived more than a half a mile from a bus/subway stop.

I have always felt that given how far away they must be, and the challenge involved in crossing that space, the most ridiculous belief is that some extra-terrestrial intelligent life is simultaneously able to build ships that get here (meaning they're far more technologically advanced than us) and yet not able to hide them from us. Or that they get here and have a breakdown right over New Mexico. Or their drone couldn't just self-destruct before we got it. Etc.

While the odds are almost 100% that there's intelligent life somewhere, the idea that it got here and then made a mistake seems strange to me.

And I've always thought the military didn't investigate these UFOs because they weren't unidentified to them. They're just FOs when you're the one who built them.

Incorrect. If you listen to the actual testimony or have been paying attention to the details you will learn Congress is being stonewalled and its ability to provide oversight and appropriation (its constitutional duties) appears to be nonexistent. These hearings are shining a very public light on this as a means of rallying support for real Congressional oversight and less "off the books" management of these programs. That's not to say this is a good idea. Congress is inept and a good argument can be made for the status quo ante.
