Wealthy urban men and women do that all the time.

While they're working their employees to the bone, refusing raises, and pocketing all the profits to purchase more real estate and nicer cars, or to bribe people at the private school they send their kids to, they whitewash their actions by pretending they care about feminism, LGBTQ+ people, white privilege, and/or the environment.

The Rural crowd has a different form of virtue signaling but the richest among them are also hypocrites in their own way. Usually via saying they're Christian, going to church, and then doing nothing Christian in their day to day life.
I remember from somewhere (A forward?) that he originally titled it "On the world of the tines", but an editor suggested A Fire Upon the Deep instead. Sounds cooler? There's a connection to the story as it develops.

WHAT? I can sort of imagine one classmate doing it, but I am fascinated that there seem to be multiple ones? To what do you attribute this amazing incidence of entrepreneurialism?

I worked at Microsoft a few decades ago, and just sort of assumed that virtually everyone was there so that they could do their own start up. I was sorely wrong, and only one other than myself did so.
>> There's already been the studies that these models quickly break down when they're fed their own generated data as training data

Not "these models" if you're referring to large language models pretrained and fine-tuned with Transformers. The only study I am aware of that explored the effect you discuss [1] had to make do with very different models as proxies: Variational Autoencoders, Mixture of Gaussians and a smaller LLM with 125 million parameters that hardly qualifies as one. It is not safe to extrapolate those results to really Large-LMs trained with Transformers, as it is not safe to extrapolate any results on one neural net architecture on another.

Note the Mixtures of Gaussians aren't even neural nets at all, but a completely different statistical model.

The question of what will happen once a few generations of LLMs have trained on their ancestors' outputs is an interesting one that has not yet been clearly answered. In the long run, future developments may even mean it's not really a valid question at all because such feedback retraining can't happen in practice- who knows?

I for one remain curious to see how this goes.

The Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex anime touches upon this theme, although from an angle more akin to the cyberpunk genre versus 20th century military industrial complex.

SPOILER ALERT

The extremely skilled and elusive hacker which they're investigating, the one that has been plaguing/blackmailing corporations for 5 years, turns out to be mostly* an illusion. The corporations and ruling political party leadership worked together in a scheme to create fake cyber attacks, get them highly publicized, and then profit from government relief/bailout money. Regular people believe someone is terrorizing the country's multinational companies, when in reality, it's just a racket.

*The legendary hacker is actually out there, but their actual role in the story is somewhat of a plot twist.
> I don’t feel like they’re tracking me the same way I do on Instagram.

They care mostly about the metadata, not so much about the content of your messages.

They know who you write to, when you write to them, when you check the app (which for many people basically means when they wake up and when they go to bed), they have your whole list of contacts.

They are really tracking you.
> in the US that wouldn't work because discrimination happens despite people having been there for many generations all speaking fluent english.

Is there not discrimination against black people in Europe? Might be hard to tell considering that the designation isn't even recorded. The only other large minority racial group I can think of there is Arabs, but most of them migrated very recently.

I founded and have run https://jsonip.com for about 13 years and have scaled it to currently support several million requests a day.

I have over 15 years of experience in web development at all levels of the stack, from DB and writing backend API's to full frontend implementations (think html/css/js, creating frontend frameworks, etc).

I'm very interested in some new challenges to tackle and grow my skill set.

In particular, I'm extremely interested in roles that involve building dev tools and improving the workflows of fellow engineers.

I'm also very interested in roles involving ML devops.
IIRC, the companies that stopped advertising with Twitter had asked about whether Elon would handle the Trust & Safety team correctly at a conference right when Elon was preparing to take over as CEO.

The official response was to dodge the question.

Not only can Elon pin blame on the research agency for his own explicit actions, he can't pin blame on the research agency for an exodus that started before the research agency released its findings. It would be like breaking your foot, going on a rollercoaster with a broken foot, and then suing the theme park for breaking your foot. I'm not a lawyer, but in any sane court, that wouldn't hold water.
I always thought it was because AI dominated the shallow parts of the galaxy, but there was something that wouldn't let it expand down to the deep.
That's an interesting argument -- I don't know if/ how much it's true, but that was certainly the norm for decades for gay men.

On that basis, I think it's better if we remove the legal risk even if there are still societal or economic risks.
That's probably a really good call I didn't consider this possibly being one persons TODO: messages. And here I am just TODOing everything.. huh. Do any of you do verbose/specific TODOs like this? I can't really think of what I'd make the topic. I use a TODO plugin that highlights TODO and FIXME but honestly only use TODO..

edit: I'm reading comments posted above I had no idea that Vernor Vinge was a professor of math and compsci at sdsu. That explains quite a bit.
Not sure what the OP meant then, but that would've explained the difference in price.
Surely they're all 'up to'? It's not 'you must sink this much current or else not compliant'?

It seems like a weird thing for TFA to say anyway - my PoE[+] switch was the cheapest 8 port I could get a few years ago on Amazon, and does 30W per port. I don't really understand how you could look into it at all, be willing to attempt the hack, but not use a switch (or injector or whatever) that's capable of powering it under load.
Depends on the kind of posting IMHO.

Contributing to a rational civil discussion? Maybe.

Flaming, downvoting, and “collectively bullying” someone with a different opinion to enforce an echo chamber? Not so much.

The latter just drives everyone who disagrees away so the likeminded can reinforce their beliefs, pat each other on the back, and feel good about themselves.
But it's already generally accepted that RA is useful as an extra layer of security in many cases.

The problem is that this layer of "security" steps over the traditional demarcation point of the protocol, destroying the customary separation of authority. So examples of "good things" that could be done with it aren't particularly relevant to the larger discussion about the threat posed by its widespread adoption with manufacturer-escrowed keys.

If owners controlled their devices' keys, we could still have things like auditing organizations that enrolled the servers of VPN providers. So that you could verify a remote computer was running specific code, reliant on your trust in the auditor. But with the current design, those auditors are the device manufacturers themselves and the ability to inspect is applied universally across every device. This will inevitably be abused to make less powerful parties less secure and undermine their own interests. That is the problem.
This is the comment I was looking for. If I remember correctly, there have been a number of scandals in Gothenburg around new residential buildings being built cheaply and badly. Most infamous perhaps are the apartment buildings that popped up about a decade ago on Friggagatan, which the local newspaper described as “fuskbygget”. Being there feels a bit like being in prison too.
These are not researchers, but political activists who spread misinformation. NPR uncritically printed info from these activists without looking into their funding or methods. Facebook received the same misinfo from these 'researchers' and rejected it.

Maybe? I did find this from 1997: https://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Microsoft-Pulls-Pran...

I thought I’d read that came after Netscape started it though? I could be wrong.

Some more info here: https://thehistoryoftheweb.com/browser-wars/

> “Then, Marc Andreessen began talking up Netscape not just as a browser, but as a new, cross-platform operating system. He went as far as saying that in the future, Netscape would reduce Microsoft to a set of “poorly debugged device drivers.”

> Gates did a quick about face in May of 1995. He sent out a memo to all Microsoft employees titled “The Internet Tidal Wave.” In it, Gates outlined a new future for his company, one connected extricably to the Internet. His paranoia for competition was also clear. Netscape, Gates demanded, was a company that Microsoft would need to “match and beat.””
They used to work with Khronos but things have developed since 2008 - Apple has completely abandoned OpenCL and OpenGL, won't support Vulkan alongside Metal, and during the development of WebGPU one of their representatives let slip that there's a legal dispute blocking any further interaction between Apple and Khronos.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1F6ns6I3zs-2JL_dT9hOkX_25...

> Apple is not comfortable working under Khronos IP framework, because of dispute between Apple Legal & Khronos which is private. Can’t talk about the substance of this dispute. Can’t make any statement for Apple to agree to Khronos IP framework.

Since the details of the dispute haven't come out it's unclear if it has been resolved yet, but regardless they don't seem to be on good terms.
$25 is hardly markup in Seattle.

It is stupid expensive here in general. ;P

Another way to get a similar experience is by enabling the following options from the android developer menu:

* enable freeform windows
* force desktop mode on secondary displays
* enable non-resizable in multi-window

Then choose "simulate secondary displays" and choose the size (720p, 1080p, 4k)

Using https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy from your desktop and connecting to your phone allows you to choose the virtual display to connect to instead of your main phone display with the --display flag. It's similar to a chromeos feel and very performant
This is a little tangential, but your post reminded me that I've struggled with converting images at work because our vpn blocks a lot of those file conversation sites (presumably for good reason, but I'm not privy). Converting common file formats seems like such a common use case that I really feel like there should be a tool built into modern operating systems for it. It seems like an obvious add to me, but then again the Windows search functionality barely works so I'm not sure they're incentived to actually help their users right now.
It's a great quote, pity it came from a literal Christian apologist. Art/Artist etc. This was around the time of chemical castrations and other such 'cures' so it's quite meaningful.

I'm personally much less interested in their care then the safety of our public spaces, but I think we can all agree one leads to the other.

Honestly, what I usually use these environments for requires pulling and using someone else's container in some way, or something similar.

I have not gone too far in depth, but UserLAnd seems a bit more promising for this, due to how it's structured, if I understand correctly.
Netscape 4.x was incredibly unstable, literally crashing every half hour. IE was the only usable browser for most of the early 2000's. Microsoft didn't drive Netscape to irrelevance for no reason... they absolutely had a better product. I briefly worked at a company run by former Netscape people, and even they used IE.

I guess this is what happened after "the bomb" was developed ? The US could hold the world at ransom.
what are the practicalities of storing enormous magnetic fields and then collapsing them to draw power? that seems...not obviously a good idea.
Coincidentally, I just finished reading "The Children of the Sky", which is a direct sequel to "A Fire Upon the Deep". It's pretty good, though IMO not as good as the original or the prequel "A Deepness in the Sky", which other commenters have mentioned. The Children of the Sky feels... unfinished? As if another sequel is coming.

The 3 novels were published in 1992, 1999, and 2011. I wonder if Vinge is working on another one?

I clearly remember the 90s when there were all sorts of fun smaller vehicles from various carmakers. Now that I'm old enough and able to afford to buy a nice car for myself, all of those fun quirky choices have been replaced by this endless sea of crossovers. I have to admit that maybe I am starting to resent crossovers and SUVs at this point.
> Everyone is different I guess.

If you are not on any social media and not logged into google, then you are really in a very small minority.
>That will not pass integrity checks (the script inspecting its own code).

I've not seen anything like that. The integrity checks are generally limited to verifying the document location and the presence of certain elements in the DOM. Obfuscation techniques have become so sophisticated that integrity checks are not really necessary. Bot challenges (such as the one used by CloudFlare) may go so far as to test graphic elements like the canvas to ensure that the JS is actually running in a browser but I don't think this is a common thing for the average website that just wants to keep bots from scraping them.
- Postgres over mysql/mongo/sqlite, I'm yet to come up with a use case where Postgres doesn't fit well for a while, while mysql is considerably better than before, it just bit me again where I had to run `mysql_tzinfo_to_sql` before tz conversions work, guess what? others didn't had to do this.

- Github-actions over circleci/travisci/etc, while I miss features from time to time, github-actions adoption allows to easily find most workflows you can need, having it with github itself is also handy.

- Integration tests with a real database mounted by docker, some people complain that this is slow but its worth it given the confidence it provides, in-memory databases or fake databases could be appealing due to the speed but they are annoying to maintain and never behave like production.

- DigitalOcean over AWS/GCP/Azure, for most projects, DO is enough, its simple to use and predictable pricing is something I could never get from other clouds.
The purpose is to depress the citizens so that they don't get any ideas and keep in their place. If you are surrounded by beauty and grandeur you start getting ideas that don't fit with the low level of mind the rulers want you to have.
Why do you want prohibitions to be viewed as very effective? Their side effects seem to always be far more disastrous than the core incident.

Possibly. On the other hand - all drugs started out decriminalised and the reasons for the criminalisation were not always or even usually out of concern for the well being of the user, but racism against the chinese (opium) and black people (marijuana)
Call BS all you want, but it takes time for markets to adjust. How long has Uber been around, and for how long has the current status quo in their decreased quality prevailed? It takes time for the market to respond, even when capital barriers are low things don’t turn on a dime. There’s enough risk involved that people aren’t sitting at their computers eagerly refreshing their browser for the merest hint that Uber customers are dissatisfied. But if you’re looking for evidence of people having enough dissatisfaction to look elsewhere you can find it. As I said, competition was driven out of the market, it just may not come back on the time scale that you think it should.

For example, Lyft is inching upwards a few points in market share[1] albeit at the cost to their own bottom line. This is evidence I may be right, and as a result Lyft is attempting to take advantage of the situation I describe. While you, also correct that competitors would try to swoop in, are simply incorrect about the time scale. The dust hasn’t settled yet. “No time” as far as macroscopic market shifts go often starts very slowly, and then all at once.

Of course I could be wrong, but I’m not sure you’ve demonstrated a compelling reason why I must or likely am wrong. My assessment stands, for the current state of affairs, but in a year or two the market could have shifted against Uber. Or maybe Uber will be agile enough to respond before things go to far.

This makes sense if your web API asserts that all responses are JSON responses, and if it provides a schema for responses somewhere as a contract.

But, in general, it's totally fine to return a 404 with no other info. That's a totally acceptable API.
But you can’t ignore the struggle to enforce in the Bay Area.

Just moved here and I feel like an idiot paying for the Bart when most people just jump the gates in and out.

Take your dick out and just pee while you walk. No worries.
Cross the street naked throwing stuff around, normal.
Dogs in parks? Leash optional, right under the sign that says “dogs must be on a leash”.
Break into cars, no one cares.
Steal a Kia, doubt you’ll get caught.

Yet there are rules like no eating in the Bart. What? $250 fine if you drink something in the train? Who comes up with that crap?

I come from a red state and I can tell you that the conservatives out there don’t want “th government telling them what to do” but they are more tightly controlled than the people in the bay. People in the bay experience real freedom, almost to the point of anarchy by far.

Red state:
Back into your driveway? Tag can’t be seen from the street = ticket.
Look aggressive in the street or take your dick out? Arrested, if not shot.
Break into a car in a public space? I wanna see that one go as smoothly as in the bay.

There is no racism against white people. https://www.aclrc.com/myth-of-reverse-racism

It would be called racial prejudice, if so. Racism works along a power hierarchy. Which black people historically don't have, due to racist white folks. But as I'm white myself, I would rather call it critical whiteness. :)

Yes, exactly. The confusion (not unique on your part) comes from the notion that REST has something to do with the JSON/XML APIs that the term conjures up in your mind. Whoever said that's what it was supposed to mean? (Lots of people, I know. The point is, they're wrong.) REST is just how the Web works (or at least worked—at the time that Fielding wrote his dissertation).

jcrites explains it really well: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23672561>

The answer to your question, "has anyone ever made a non-toy implementation conforming to the idea of HATEOAS?", therefore, is "Yeah. Your Web browser."

Disabuse yourself of anything you have ever been told that has led you to believe REST is an alternative to (or a special flavor of) RPC. It's not about RPC.
