Bias? Nah.

But you seem to have forgotten saying:

"It’s much more mundane. Normal everyday actions by the un-wealthy masses are what drive carbon emissions."

Before we continue, why do you say what you mean instead of saying what you thought you said?

The fact remains...the power-less are merely "following orders", while the power-having reap the spoils.
I do not see a connection with freedom of speech.
That is a silly argument. Guess you also think there only exist one fiat currency because it already exists one so there can't be two of them?
I understand the fears people are raising here, the potential for abuse.

But on the other hand, what should someone do if they are truly wronged by something like this? They lost their job, their spouse left them, all because someone decided to slander them under the veil of anonymity. Should they have any recourse?
Just tried this out and agree it's made my mouse more usable - thanks!

I particularly like the click and drag for Mission Control & Spaces.

A couple of things I'd love to see:
1. When middle click is set to click there is a noticeable delay.
2. Icon in menu bar
You ever read Borge's "Pierre Menard Author of the Quixote"? If not you really should, short and sweet (approx 15 pages IIRC)
That isn’t the scenario originally described, but there is a timeout parameter in future.result().
Well, that's why I added "if left in peace".

And if you want to do something good for birds, ideally you do something good for insects.

Otherwise it strongly depends what kinds of birds you feed.
I don’t have really any expertise here but it looks like it bakes into a powder pretty much every time. Sure you get LK-99, but you can’t measure superconductivity in a powder since it’s a bulk property.
No stress, I can see how we'd get mixed up, it's a pretty heated topic!

> However, Meta initially responded stating that it did not find the posts defamatory and hence would not accede to his request

Oh, that’s so very Meta and Twitter and Reddit. I believe they return a delayed response only to maintain appearances of some human being having had a look at the reports.

What I don’t understand is how come a user was anonymous in a Facebook group.
Because people don't understand free speech. They confuse the right to anonymity to "do whatever I want as anonymous".
How do you know what software people use? How people run asic miners? Is it supported by vanilla bitcoin too?
Hah, I just realized they host a text blog on ... tumblr. Thought that site was for random images.
What does Stripe have to do with it?
The huge title banner with the redundant snippet and the Meta logo of the unnecessary margins could use some dieting—the black-on-white body of the article cuts of at "identifying data of an anonymous Facebook user" for me, incongruously even earlier than the dark-gray-on-black snippet above it. Otherwise it's pretty nice, yes. (Is it weird that I think text.npr.org mostly looks better than the main npr.org?)
While this sounds great, it's bullshit and we both know it.
The word "Forced" here is a bit misleading given Meta faces a penalty of just 1k euros per day, up to 100k, if it decides not to comply with the court's decision.
That's true but it's a quantitative element that won't make a qualitative difference in the long run, in other words the outcome will be exactly the same, but maybe a bit later.
I'm sorry but this is a terrible take. This isn't people venting about bad dating success, this is people (who understand the importance of privacy, since they post anonymously) posting personally identifying information and pictures of people they feel have wronged them romantically, like it's some sort of product review and not another human being.
You can definitely not say anything you want in NK. You get censored at multiple stages.

Subpoenas are for criminal cases. It looks like this was a civil matter.

A better comparison would be the Twitter user that was tweeting Elon Musk's jet flights. This was before twitter was purchased, and Elon Musk was not able to get the court to order Twitter to hand over that information.
>the Court of The Hague has ruled...

In case you were wondering where such a ruling happened.
There’s not really such a thing as superconductivity for a fine powder, so people are having trouble determining if this material even superconducts.

edit to clarify: Bulk here refers to having a single chunk of the material, and does not refer to the total quantity. Some physical properties only exist or only surface in chunks of material, not in the powder form.
Only as long as the experiments are reasonably simple. There are probably still some things requiring only simple experiments to be discovered, but most of the low hanging fruit has probably already been consumed by a couple of centuries of experimentation and scientific progress.
> Is looking at house prices in USD a sensible measure for the UK?

My gut feeling is yes, but only if you're trying to answer a wider question than "can I afford a house?" I'm not smart enough to articulate it in economic language, but I think of it like a physics model. Are houses getting more expensive, or is the country getting poorer? If you've only got two particles, you can tell the gap between them is widening, but you can't tell which is moving because you don't have a frame of reference. Comparing with the global reserve currency builds that frame of reference. If most of the house price increase disappears, the prices aren't really going up, our wages are shrinking (relative to the rest of the world).
When you have a liberal arts degree it is important to discuss semantics at every opportunity
Facebook groups have an option to permit anonymous posts, on the basis the group moderator can handle the tidal wave of bad that will probably happen.

Of course, you're not anonymous on the back end, just publicly.
No longer doable, at least in Europe, you can't buy per-paid phone card without showing you government ID. And I believe you will not be able to create Twitter (that is, X) or Facebook account without being forced to provide something more than email. I've tried, and account was immediately lock until I provide more credentials (gov id or phone number).

All of this is to fight child porn, as always, although, unlike normal people, those who earn on child porn can make that additional effort to find some homeless person, drug addict, etc. and get sim card activated.

So we are where we are with lack of privacy for regular people. Maybe one day governments will realize that not only them have access to all of this information, foreign intelligence too, which make much easier to recruit/blackmail spies and in the end, shattered privacy costs much more than imaginary child porn fight.
I don’t know what you’re trying to say, but to “evacuate on ourselves” means to shit ourselves.
That's forwards compatibility.

Backwards compatibility: New versions of the software can use the files from old versions.

Forwards compatibility: Old versions of the software can use the files from new versions.

If you switch from JSON to JSON5, the new version can use the config file from an old version. If you switch from JSON to TOML, your users have to create a new config file, or you will have to support both JSON and TOML.
I did the same for a while when I was young, and it definitely reduced the build-up of odour after exercise and sports. The flip side was that I lost a lot of "wicking" ability and consequently had ridiculously large wet spots under my arms and a feeling of being "slippery" or lubricated under my arms already from just light exercise.
I'm an experienced engineer that's been a manager for three years. I'm now returning to an engineering role.

Having been a manager and having learned what it means to scale your ability to have impact and to land impact purely through leveraging others, I feel far more equipped to be the kind of engineer that I would like to manage.

More than that, one of the best experiences I've had as a manager is to be able to dissuade myself of many of the misconceptions and stereotypes that are rife in this thread.

I'd strongly advise non-managers in the thread to read Charity's other blog posts such as the Engineer/Manager Pendulum too.

Saw some people hyping up markets where people are betting on prediction markets whether or not LK-99 will replicate. Can't help but feel like that money would be better spent just paying off some labs to actually try to replicate the process.

The response I got from a predictions market enthusiast was that having a sufficiently large market would motivate people to attempt to have the process replicated and buy options on the outcome once they confirm their findings in order to cash out. Which gives me strong feelings of scamming the uninformed and gullible.

As for comments on LK-99 itself, I don't understand why nobody has gotten their hands on an existing sample to verify that it's legitimate. Shouldn't the minimum requirements be a magnet and the material sample, to demonstrate it floating through the meissner effect?
Hi Timo!

I've been using Conduit for 10 months now and I love it. Thank you so much for it!

I've two questions:

- Is there any concern to have with regards to its future when you finish university? You seem to be by far the most active contributor and I'm worried the project is still dependent on how much time you can afford to put into it;

- What is the best way for a Rust / Linux developer to do a first impactful contribution to Conduit? With 155 open issues on GitLab at the moment and no problem really standing out for me as a user, I don't know where to start :p

Thanks!

BTW I hope you land a great job; I'd happily recommend you where I work, but we don't have any office near Dortmund unfortunately… Feel free to reach out to me if Dortmund / remote is not a requirement.

Free speech is about being able to say unpopular things, like that black people shouldn't be slaves in the early 1800s. It's not about saying untrue things. The tricky thing about "untrue things", is sometimes it's hard to see for certain, like "COVID was potentially a leak of a cultured virus from a lab".
Great work, I am currently building something similar.

(very rough MVP, please try it on desktop)

It has an AI tutor also like yours, but the main function is to learn via podcasts and YouTube using the language showing technique.

Based on my own experience learning a language, once you reach an intermediate level you usually hit a plateau, and you need to watch and listen to as much content as possible to improve.

The key is to keep your motivation high, and you do that by using content you actually care about. Learning a language shouldn't be something tedious but something you look forward to.
If you're on Windows, the following script should set the necessary MSR without entirely disabling AVX. There's not really any other way to do it other than with WinRing0's driver, doing it via WinDbg is not practical at all even if you manage to run local debug. And what the DE_CFG[9] bit exactly does other than "preventing complex side effects instructions" I'm not sure, there's barely any information online, and most OS vendors are silent on this.

This specific case seems to be about defamation and (I suppose) the right of the plaintiff to know the identity of the person who supposedly accused(?) them of something?

I'm not sure what does this have to do with freedom of speech. It seems to be right to anonymity or something like that, which I don't think is guaranteed in most places?

There's a big range of possibilities between censored speech in dictatorships and a free speech absolutely not constrained by other human rights. In a normal democratic society speech is constrained just like every other right. It is strange to think otherwise.
Because it leaves to the imagination, probably.
Perhaps, I'm not sure what does this have to do with the article, though.

> anime profile pictures

Either that or furry ones. Amusing apparent correlation.
You miss the point that the value of the outcomes correlates poorly with the expense of the experiment. Therefore, a hundred cheap experiments promise a hundred times the value of one expensive experiment.

Compared to dark matter detection experiments, an infinitely greater value, as against the conspicuously zero denominator.
Requirements too vague to begin to answer the question.

Choice of language generally has little to do with overall productivity, except you will need time to learn a new language, libraries, idioms, ecosystem. So best to start with the language you have the most expertise and experience with.

The factors you discount can affect overall productivity much more than the programming language.

Your question seems like asking which tires will let you drive fastest, ignoring everything else about the car and the road and your driving skills.
1. Ever heard of Lightning? https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-lightning-network-is-...
And yes, some countries accept partially paying through Lightning. El Salvador obviously, but Costa Rica as well (check "Bitcoin Jungle"). In Africa, it's starting...

2. I sold a car for ~30k USD in Germany 2 weeks ago. I wish the guy would have been able to pay in crypto, because bank transfer didn't work out (because of money laundering law between unrelated banks due to the higher amount) and he ended up paying in ... cash (yes, the irony, so much about money laundering). And now, I had to open a new bank account which will be able at some point to accept the money. It's not just time consuming, but all this is not free obviously

3. Well, that's a good point, since loans are created out of thin air... https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/081415/under...
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of rights. The right of free speech is not intended to allow you to move your lips in a certain way and make specific sounds come out. After all, it's not as if the ability to speak were somehow prevented by government-mandated masks. Humans have always been physiologically able to say unpopular things, long before the concept of free speech became important.

The purpose of the right of speech speech is to remove certain, but not all, consequences of expressing opinions in public, i.e., outside of your head.
I agree 100%, you need to have a strong product foundation to turn good output into good business outcome. A productive team that delivers features no one wants is pointless. Both go hand in hand, but as far as engineering management goes, it is still a challenge to find a good productivity metric. What’s used in your organization @przeor and what do you think of it?
requires a really significant result in order to demand widespread effort in to replicate.
Yep, sorry, I overlooked the context. Other zoonotic diseases though ;)

1. Use something other than BTC, like BCH. TX cost is a lot lower.

For the rest, there's no reason you couldn't do any of those things in a legitimate working peer to peer cryptocurrency in principle, regardless of the fact that at the moment people don't and the structures you engage with instead are staples of tradfi.

They do many things, but the ones I want to avoid the most are their mechanisms of control in the global economy. The fact they can lock your bank account and deny you access to global trade because you said something or did something they don't approve of is utterly unacceptable and this alone is enough for me to aim for their destruction.
Why do you think this is the case across all of Europe? You can definitely buy SIM cards in vending machines in Denmark still.
That’s very interesting, what is the score based on?
Great! But I was also thinking problem identification, as well as problem solving.

When they say "most IT projects fail" to me that translates to "Tech built the wrong thing. It worked. But ultimately it was the wrong solution." Clients never own that, do they?

Web agencies - at least the ones I've worked for - are notorious for giving the client what the client wants, not what the client needs. This ultimately, also effective translates to "the wrong solution."

I'm in Europe and I can go to any supermarket and buy a cartload (depending on stock) of pre-paid cards without having to show any ID to anyone. They also work in any EU country.
You agree with me; why all the downvotes.

The article uses struggly words like sociopaths and losers, but defines them very differently from common use, often the 'losers' have the most fulfilling and rounded lives, i.e. true winners

- The "chronic nervous person that is paralyzed by impostor syndrome" - clueless

- The "i find more problems than solutions" guy - clueless

- The "i'm here to socialize, make friends, maybe get married" - loser

- The "i gave up 10 years ago and just want my paycheck" - loser

- The "i'm working on my true passion outside of work while hanging out here with you guys" etc etc - loser

It's a rough model of org interactions with poorly named categories.
Is there any reason to prefer anonymity to protected aliases? I'd say people should be able to post under their nicknames and only their lawyers/notaries/trustees should be able to disclose their identity in a some lawful procedure. It should not be a responsibility of a platform, but there must be someone who knows the true identity and can certify the relationship between it and the alias.
This is OK as a fallback, even if it's not at all strictly compliant (the standard still allows PDP or Honeywell endian and padding bits wherever).

As the main option it's extremely silly, though, when the entirety of the function on e.g. x86-64 could be (using the GCC signature but MS calling convention and syntax for according to your apparent preference)

; bool add_overflowll(long long x, long long y, long long *result)

add_overflowll PROC
add rcx, rdx
seto eax
mov qword ptr [r8], rcx
ret
add_overflowll ENDP

for a total of no loops, no conditional branches, and three instructions with no branches at all when inlined (not shown because I don't remember the MS inline assembly syntax). Why check beforehand when the CPU does the check for you on every arithmetic operation and all you need to do is to ask it for the result? (Unless your CPU is RISC-V because RISC-V.)

And of course the newfangled standard functions are size-dependent (more like mine than yours), so either you still need _Generic or essentially equivalent compiler-specific magic, or you have to introduce an ABI dependency on which integer type your ptrdiff_t or ssize_t or off_t or whatever typedef you got from a random place in a library or OS header actually ends up being.

Well that settles that, then.
In some countries this would be laughed out of court.
Apple products communicate with each other even if they don't know each other, so an airtag will utilize the cellular of a nearby iphone in order to get information to apple's servers. I think google has a tracker that does something similar.

Its easy to imagine that previous generation tracking devices that sends its information across a broader range than an airtag will need to be larger battery thus being larger.
That's interesting. Is there a language that meets all the seven criteria? I like the reasoning about "too sparse" language syntax; the article nicely demonstrates why it increases complexity and learning difficulties. Except for the requirement to be as close as possible in presentation and concepts to what was learned in mathematics, I find the points useful.
There's a certain subset of people on the intersection of high IQ, high-functioning ASD and LGBT that produces a lot of high impact activity in STEM fields.
Always harder than you think of course - but the thing about molecular biology is unlike nuclear physics, most of the equipment you need is relatively cheap and readily available.

So the tools are there.

However on the other hand - making something the right mix of lethal, but still able to spread I suspect is incredibly hard - if it was easy we'd all be dead already ( from viruses etc naturally evolving ).
Wrong, because even if the exchanges pick a chain that is completely ridiculous in terms of rules, say they permanently limit the tx throughput for the entire world to 3, or something absurd like this, and the exchanges and users who can see how absurd this is sensibly opt out of mining or transacting on that chain, the profit for defecting is great, because mining is a zero sum game.

As long as some suckers are trading actually liquid assets for the instruments on the sabotaged chain, it is economically rational for the miners to mindlessly rubberstamp the rules of the chain.

Which is exactly what we have.
> Meta faces a penalty of one thousand euros per day, up to a maximum of one hundred thousand euros, if it fails to comply with the court's decision.

As a purely business move, should Meta just play this as a principled stand, and eat the fine?

If there's any negative reaction chatter, maybe it's on one of their platforms, in which case it's engagement?
Interesting - I'd been considering basically that two-pass approach in reverse (diarize, isolate each utterance in a per-speaker file with a vocal separator between each clip so that I don't have to rely on timestamps being perfectly accurate, run through whisper - could also do a file per utterance, but setup time seems like it would dominate in that case). Concern I had about my approach was that it'd be too different from whisper's training set of conversational data, and that might cause accuracy to take a dive.
