One of my few genuine regrets is not attending St. John's College when I was fairly aggressively courted as a high school applicant. (I may nevertheless attend one day, and be the weird old guy reading the Great Books curriculum with my new friends: several teenagers confounded and dismayed by my presence.)

The reading list for their Masters program in Eastern Classics [https://www.sjc.edu/academic-programs/graduate/masters-easte...] —while not exclusively focused on "philosophy" per se— presents a great deal of material and a framework for approaching the texts that anyone, Johnnie or not, may find valuable.

We started counting the XXth century biggest criminals, yes? And you simply stopped at WW2 because that's when Hitler (allegedly) died, yes? While I was counting the entirety of that century for the whole of those criminals life.

And I see this all the time on HN. Somebody responds to my comments just to be argumentative for the sake of it when I reply, despite me just making a simple comment. And then when I take their reply seriously and respond with proven facts they go with "oh HN rules and conduct bla bla". Well, maybe next time check the facts first, then be argumentative.

That was as a general idea. Now, personally, for this subject here, me living in an Eastern Europe country, having witnessed the horrors of communists, and fully know that Russia/USSR's Iron Curtain was just modern slavery where they (the red plague) pillaged and took all our countries resources and shipped them to Kremlin (hence why in the beginning of space race USSR was head to head with US) making them rich and the rest of us poorer, when somebody like you dismisses those facts I get to a boiling point.

Also, while on this subject, you can see that effect today. Everybody on the Eastern Europe/former Soviet Bloc countries hates Russia and why we simply took Ukrainian refugees in our homes without our still corrupt governments moving a finger at first. That's why we keep donating to Ukraine's war effort. Because a dismantled Russia is our only chance to have peace in Europe. And this is what Russians and Putin don't understand about us. We simply do not want another half a century of pillaging from them. And this is why Stalin vs Hitler body count are not similar. Both are bad, but Stalin was way worse.

That article is full of quotes from Coinbase management. For comparison, here's the SEC statement.[1]

Another way to look at this is that the SEC offered Coinbase the opportunity to stop doing something illegal and walk away before the SEC brought the hammer down. That was a pretty good offer. These are criminal offenses.

Coinbase didn't. So, hammer time: Washington D.C., June 6, 2023 — The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Coinbase, Inc. with operating its crypto asset trading platform as an unregistered national securities exchange, broker, and clearing agency. The SEC also charged Coinbase for failing to register the offer and sale of its crypto asset staking-as-a-service program."

Much of the US crypto industry had two great hopes for getting away with it. First, that they could get Congress to legalize what they were doing. Second, that they could get the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, instead of the Securities and Exchage Commission, to regulate crypto. The first possibility disappeared politically after the FTX scams were exposed, FTX went bankrupt, and politicians who accepted their campaign donations were in political trouble. The second disappeared when the SEC and the CFTC, with help from the Justice Department and the FBI, all landed on Binance, and started asking hard questions about where the customer's money was.

These companies are in deep trouble for a very simple and classic form of financial crime - treating the customer's money as their own. This is not about "tech". This is not about "crypto". This is not about "financial innovation". This is about plain old theft.

I’m not sure how do these things contradict each other? Nomadic civilizations can definitely transition to almost fully sedentary ones and ‘start building palaces’ while preserving some of their cultural history and social norms.
DCS has some shortcut keys to do things like automatically running the whole engine start sequence. But I think you'll still need to spend some time on the navigation part to be able to fly a mission.
That's a wild take. Can you explain why not?

>It is actually truly revolutionary to disagree with it, e.g., take the stance that capitalism is an effective way of organizing labour.

Is this supposed to be satire? According to neoclassical economics, "capitalism" (to be precise, neoclassical economics actually denies the existence of capitalism) is a mathematically unimprovable system that is already as perfect as it gets and any alternative will make things worse. Economists are literally blind to the things that cause recessions and they will deny any potential solution because those are already assumed to be implemented implicitly.
People are complimenting great technical writing here, but the first definition they provide is this:

> Technically, an API is just a set of rules (interface) that the two sides agree to follow. The company publishing the API then implements their side by writing a program and putting it on a server. In practice, lumping the interface in with the implementation is an easier way to think about it.

which is neither technically correct, nor easy to understand for a layperson. Compare to Wikipedia:

> An application programming interface (API) is a way for two or more computer programs to communicate with each other. It is a type of software interface, offering a service to other pieces of software.
It's funny how I remember that era, but from outsider perspective. Public WiFi was far less impactful thing around me because we had good 3G deployment pretty early on. Some highlights from that era for me were netbooks (remember those?) with builtin wwan, and having multi-SIM subscription so that I could have USB modem, netbook, and phone all connected with single subscription.

It absolutely does not. The GP dismissed the usefulness of studies and posited that personal anecdotes were sufficient.
> People who argue that you should just type into a search bar 100% of the time to find and launch apps are naíve. First of all, unless you have a trivial number of applications, it's absurd to expect everyone to remember the name of every program on his computer. Oh gee, what was that SD-card-formatting utility again? I don't know, but hey in two clicks I'm in my Utils folder and there it is.

Maybe you should relook at this again; they don't work like that anymore - you don't need to remember "Brasero" when searching for a CD burning tool, the menu items all have a description field which is also searched.

So for your specific example, all you'd need to do is search for "SD Card", even if the name does not have the text "SD" or "Card" in it.
My question got downvoted. I wonder whose feathers I ruffled.
Because if they're not using the same node software as the exchanges, they can't trade with other people trading the BTC instrument. The exchanges allocated the BTC ticker to "whatever the bitcoin core node software says it is" and that is defined by the one guy who has commit access to the bitcoin core repo.
Yes I will never forget or forgive being forced submit my details to some Marriot bonvoy spam club in order to qualify for free WiFi in an expensive US hotel where I was staying for a conference. It was otherwise a manual daily payment via a broken portal of fifteen dollars. The cost of roaming mobile data in the US (from the UK, at the time) was completely absurd so they had me over a barrel for the hour or so connectivity I needed from the hotel per day to check in with work.

They wouldn't/couldn't just add it to my room invoice either so I would have had to manually pay on a personal card, and expense each day. From memory the portal did not accept my card on the first try either.

I'll take my boycott of them for this slight to my grave.

Are mid-range businessy hotels really working with such slim margins that its worth alienating customers like this?

This looks awesome! I'm excited to try it out.
Thats not an entirely bad department, that's a number of police officers in a department at a particular time who fucked up in a particular way. And honestly, "fucks up crowd control and covers it up" is, as far as examples of bad behavior, unimpressive.

UK police also tend to improve and institutionally learn over time as we get inquests and some of the recommendations get implemented.

Somehow that still doesnt give enough counter examples to figure out what it is.
Matrix is like chatting via GIT (distributed databases) and tends to be a team messenger like Mattermost or Zulip - XMPP is structurally like email (but with options like online status, currently typing, last online, ...) and is often used by large messenger services (e.g. WhatsApp uses its own variant of XMPP).

XMPP is the only system that can and may(!) be used wherever email is in use.

XMPP is just as "modern" as Matrix, but has a _different _ data storage/distribution idea.

Things have obviously changed. Also, the way Ethereum works has changed.

There is lot of more complex workflows than someone going to doctor for consult.

Just think of getting some labwork done. First it needs to be ordered. Then patient must go to nurse to get blood drawn either immediately or after not eating long enough. Nurse needs to know how many samples are needed and if there is something special. Then those needs to be tracked and delivered to lab. Lab needs to know what tests to run. And then results need to be available for years.

And you probably want some sort of alerts for values outside expected ranges and in cases where they are really off. This might consist of one or multiple systems, but all those should interoperate automatically.

And that isn't even imaging or treatments.
Yes there is, with tooling like Sonar.

That game is fucking cool. A couple years ago me and some friends compiled it for kicks and giggles to see what it was all about. To our surprise, the game ran silky smooth on my GTX 1050 Ti. We get into a lobby. We play for a half hour.

We're just exploring (the map is barebones but has cool landmarks) when I realize that you can scroll to zoom out from your character. In a psychadelic twist, you can just keep zooming out past normal ARPG levels and into a minimap-scale world, then above the clouds, all without dropping a frame.

I don't know how well-maintained the project is today, but it's got the bones for a badass RPG. One of these days I'll hop back on...
> My personal windows 95 definitely didn't crash more than once every few weeks of heavy use.

You didn't need heavy use; there was a signed 32 bit integer bug that would cause W95/98 to lock up consistently every 31.5 days or so.

You can load Windows 95 into a VM today and still get the same results every 31.5 days.

[EDIT: 49.7 days]
The UK has, in absolute terms, rather poor accessibility. Maybe better then many places, and the law is allegedly on the right side, but in practice you don't want to rely on anything in particular being accessible without scoping it out first.

I used a wheelchair for one day, and after nearly killing myself trying to get over kerb on a slope (from the hospital car park to the hospital), resolved to use under-armpit crutches instead. It's a rare thing that makes you feel privileged to be able to use those painful things!

Trains are a good recent example. Most trains are extremely inaccessible, with a foot or two of steps up into the carriage and a large, famously announced, gap. There are wheelchair ramps on platforms but you need to find staff to unlock and use them, or telephone ahead. They're about to remove thousands of ticket offices, so there may soon be no one there. Then when you get onto the station, if the lifts don't work, you'll be stuck on the platform. Assuming they have lifts. My local station doesn't have them at all. If I was in a wheelchair, I'd consider trains a complete no-go zone.

Most buses near me are able to "kneel" and have wheelchair ramps, thankfully.

Many commercial buildings in cities and suburbs are haphazardly shoved into old housing stock, so it's quite likely that at many places you will have several flights of stairs to deal with. If I'd been in a wheelchair, I'd have been unable to access the office at my first job, for example: four flights of stairs and a step at the door.

I sometimes wonder if we as a society will end up actually curing all disabilities before making public things universally accessible.
Privacy policy would be a good start.
Compliance with the annual compliance suites would be one definition. This compliance level is discoverable in the xmpp.org software listing, for example: https://xmpp.org/software/conversations/

Or just imagine it in OptiFine which for a long time every sane "vanilla" player used. Yes Java can be decompiled, but on top OF is closed source. At least Sodium and friends are better now.
Bootstrap is no longer associated with Twitter. They used to be called Twitter Bootstrap since the people who made it worked at Twitter but it is almost 10 years since the quited and started for themself.
> They are asking for results that look like they were painted by Greg Rutkowski, and they care enough to ask for Greg Rutkowski specifically because Greg Rutkowski is a highly skilled artist who developed his own distinctive style

Sometimes, but not always.

Lots of people prompt by cargo cult -- you find lots and lots of images generated by peppering the list with stuff like "masterpiece, best quality, 8k, award-winning".

Are all of those found in the training set? Do they actually have the right result?

It's statistics, not magic. The machine doesn't know what you mean, it only knows what's in the dataset. Some tags are not well represented enough to have the result you'd expect from the name.

Googling around suggests "masterpiece" mostly translates to higher contrast and saturation.

> they are not asking for results in a style that exists independently of Greg Rutkowski despite his name somehow being the only way to identify it.

Some might be. There's not always a tag for every kind of aesthetic, so one possible solution is to find an artist that uses it.

> which is the central pillar of his intellectual property as an artist, and his competitive advantage.

And which copyright law says he doesn't have. Style isn't copyrightable.
Obvious to you and me. Server team disagreed and tried 422 unprocessable entity, which is not correct. My point is that these issues should be clear enough that there are not thousands of StackOverflow questions on it, and debates between teams. “It’s so easy” is not true. There are layers of understanding.
> you should just optimize your workflows around the keyboard instead of the mouse.

The one issue I have is that out of the box, MacOS does not let you use the keyboard for all of the actions required. It doesn't even expose some actions to be able to b̶o̶n̶d̶ bind keys to, and you have to use 3rd party tools just to navigate with your keyboard.
I don’t remember everything from my sessions, but in case of my severe anxiety we used text logs of (date, emotion, situation, initial thought) and my “I/they must” attitudes. Eventually we found a set of automatic (unconscious) thoughts that led to the symptoms. Once I started to root them out, anxiety reduced and panic attacks stopped completely.

Collecting this info was a homework because you can’t do it right in a session. The final homework was to consciously break “I/they must” attitudes. Specifically, I intendedly was several times (1) late for something, (2) went somewhere completely unprepared. As you may have guessed, I had two separate anxieties of being late or unprepared (among others). Ofc it’s not that I’m always late or unprepared now. But my own pathological anxiety feedback loop is no more in these cases.

These methods aren’t secret and every <insert type of psychotherapy here> book describes them in detail. You don’t even need to go to a therapist to use them, like you don’t need a programmer to use scandisk or memtest. But detecting inconsistencies in yourself is much easier when you talk to a different person.
It was clear from the context that he meant concurrently running not concurrently in progress. I wish nerds would give up on this parallelism/concurrency pedantry or at least choose some new nomenclature that didn't conflict so massively with the English meaning of "concurrent".

I mean it's not even right. Most parallel/concurrent pedants would consider multithreaded code to be "parallel" even if it is running on a single core.

I think the best thing is to talk about threads, because then you can distinguish e.g. OS threads and hardware threads.
hipcc is a joke, it doesn't handle everything CUDA is capable of, specially not the polyglot capabilities.
This reminds me of the story in which Don Knuth wrote a literate program in WEB (reportedly over 10 pages) to do some text processing and Doug McIlroy did the same thing in a six-line shell script:

Yeah but their whole thing is that the specifics of the technology don’t change how securities laws apply. They’d likely claim both the miners and the stakers need to form an organization and have somebody responsible for compliance, if their proposed rules on altering the exchange definition is any indication.

At least half of "information" is just guilt by association, sometimes taken to ridiculous levels:

"Winegard clarifies his above comment and concern is specifically only countries below sub-replacement fertility (2.1 TFR), meaning (excluding a few countries in East Asia i.e. Japan, Singapore and Korea), the whole of Europe.[33] This a key obsession of white nationalists (such as Brenton Harrison Tarrant, the perpetrator of the Christchurch terrorist attacks, whose manifesto called for white Europeans to increase their fertility rates above 2.1)."

Winegard says make more babies, you know who said that too? Christchurch terrorist! Ridiculous.
