""How does a brand show up in somebody's DMs or Discord server if they're not invited?" Haberman said. But in many ways, that's the point. People can still go on Instagram to check on their favorite celebrities and influencers, but young people don't want brands and marketers infiltrating the closed communities where they spend most of their time."

Young people? That's why I left Facebook. Your brain getting chewed up by ads and alt-right trash.

Didn't he say he want to make X to a better LinkedIn?
They do have abilities to build and ship a Microsoft Kin though.
I think it can be both. The app becomes very popular, CCP analyzes it, sees that it is a very useful tool for surveillance, so they encourage it and promote its spread and give its execs special status.
I read it as a bit of a negative situation. So the reason for mentioning it is to shame AMD into doing a more correct or sane thing instead of spewing out enormous amounts of what is basically repetitive noise.

Pointing out that enormity is important because source files need to be stored; interpreted, versioned and parsed by humans/IDE's. It has an externalised cost (but, then again, isn't capitalism all about externalising costs?)
If that’s indeed their strategy, and it appears it is, it’s great for the US since it means there are fewer countries it needs to subsidize by maintaining the strength of the dollar.

And the countries that do stick to the USD enjoy an implicit cost advantage over the countries that don’t because they don’t have to bear the inefficiency costs of holding wealth in highly unstable currencies that are hard to convert.

What’s the point in having a debate on HN about whether or not free speech should be absolute? I doubt there’s anything new to say on the topic.
> I don't know if I am an outlier, but even though I love the idea of decentralized social media and dislike a lot about Twitter, my Twitter experience is better than my Mastodon experience.

According to the hundreds of millions of daily active users that still use Twitter / X, You are not an outlier.
I've had the opposite experience. On Mastodon I get a small, but consistent, amount of engagement with my posts, and I have over 400 followers. Twitter was like shouting into the void.
“Congress shall make no law”

has nothing to do with the courts autonomously creating restrictions, as the courts were incorporated in parallel within the constitution

so far, courts have interpreted that to include the courts but their gag orders and heavier punishments based on a person’s speech are all constitutional

“free speech” is a fickle symbiosis people are relying on, an inspirational idea that people like

Zoom supports SSO. I use it every day.
I added the second sentence of the post instead.
Interesting. You describe something I've noticed myself, but haven't thought about in terms of the push / pull dynamics of tech products.

> How will a world in which Things Come to Us and We Dont Go to Things anymore affect us cognitively long-term?

As you touched on your yourself this was probably the default before the last couple of decades. There was a short period around 2010 where people (especially the youth) were quite divergent in interests and political views.

Today it seems people increasingly have shared opinions and interests. This is is a shift that's been quite alien to me since I grew up during the early internet when it was the norm for people to play different games, watch different films and listen to different music. There was no social media network effects and little to no recommendation algorithms or ads online.

Today this seems to have changed. Try finding a Gen Z who doesn't have an iPhone and isn't wear a pair of Nikes, for example. They are the result of the trend you describe, I believe. They like things not because they sought them out neutral platforms but because these things were pushed on them either by the network effects of social media or the recommendation algorithms and ads that litter the internet today.
Probably better matches the makeup of RAM and processor speed. The GBA only has 384KB and runs at 12.5MHz.
The spam is the biggest issue. We never solved it there, and it's only being controlled on usenet's imitators through tight control, which is not a feature of usenet.

One setup I could see working is a pubkey setup where anyone who posts, always encrypts with their private key, and anyone you want to hear from, you add their public key to your list of keys you decrypt to read.

Aggregators can occupy public keys as their "address" and any aggregator that gets obnoxious, you just trim it from your list, which only contains things you've either let in or accepted via slates or whitelists.

Then the spammers can do whatever they like, really.

I believe the main reason usenet faded so thoroughly was that it became a piracy distribution platform very early on (not sure which came first, the pirate booty or the porn booty, but I'm guessing porn), and very quickly there came a kind of unspoken "don't talk about usenet" code among those who already knew about it. At the time, Napster and bittorrent were the main targets of the authorities and IP trolls and usenet was just doing a Jim-From-The-Office-smirking-through-the-blinds.
> $800 billion

Even taking that figure completely at face value, that's... not a lot of money?
Italy's GDP is 2.1T, if a Fukushima-like disaster happens once in 30 years (which it doesn't, but for the sake of argument let's say it does), that's an amortized cost of 1% of the GDP.

We're Italians, we'd waste that kind of money on some stupid shit anyway.
> by doxxing i mean things like expectations around having your company github profile being public

It's the other way around for me. I like my work to be publicly viewable on GH because these days it's the bare minimum amount of effort required for visibility into your online persona and demonstrates how committed you are on delivering end products.

I also have a basic blog where I do technical deep dives on various matters, to virtue signal to potential employers that I'm knowledgeable in certain areas.

Proper and malicious doxxing would be outing the precise location where you live and listing your private phone number without your consent. This has never happened to me.
Ya the people I talked to that enjoyed tinkering were FIRE enthusiasts or bogleheads. But that felt more like entertainment and community rather than looking for a solution to a specific problem.

I talked with small financial advisory firms (1-3 advisors) to see if there were some backend tools to help them with client work. There's some initial data gathering and entry, but the value is the coaching and psychology rather than the hard numbers.

Bigger ad-based social media NEEDS to be big. Their investors need to see growth, so they're always investing in new features to expand their user base or grow into new businesses. If it starts shrinking, it collapses.

The fediverse can simply be. Growth isn't required for survival. Operating a mastodon instance can be quite cheap because all you have to pay for is hardware costs & power, etc. No salaries, no R&D investments. Only build features that users want, there's no hidden incentives.

They're difficult to compare
I think that Mars is overrated. It is smaller than Earth, and way more difficult to live there, so we would get like 30% extra space for 1000 times the cost per square meter.

And then what? We do not have a third planet like that nearby. Mercury and Venus are too hot. Jupiter and Saturn are gas with no solid surface. Uranus and Neptune are ice. The next solar system is way too far.

I suspect that if we ever get the ability to travel to the next solar system, it will probably be easier to just stay in space, and only use the planets to mine the resources. Even for that, asteroids may be more convenient.

So, from this perspective, Earth is, and will remain, unique.
The defaults are terrible. I use rectangle for window snapping, mos for mouse scrolling, and alt-tab for saner alt tab behavior.

Why you can’t toggle between different instances of the same app by default is beyond me. But hey, we get more emojis!
Do the test again with nvme ssd modules, you save length (helps the bird), some weight and final destination copy, since IIRC usb3 is way slower than raw nvme.
You are always going to be unhappy if your goal is to change the rest of the world. If you focus on yourself you will accomplish more and likely be happier. Start adapting now and know that the rest of the world will adapt eventually. Figure out how to reduce your own impact.

I moved to a location that is not going to see negatives from climate change. Even if your location isn't great, just work on what you can do. Stop consuming junk on Amazon and start freecycling in your neighborhood. Spend more money to buy goods that have a lower environmental impact.
If you own a home, there's a lot you can do to improve the environment. Compost, install rain barrels, maybe solar panels, use native landscaping, plant more trees that will provide shade.
Google Wave, there were some features that were amazing like splitting messages in their own threads to branch off some ideas and keep conversations on track.
Which also means whatever you have in your retirement account will devalue and you’ll need even more money per month when you retire. To offset this, your salary and contribution amount needs to increase. Otherwise the net effect is you are getting a pay cut.

> This is a fairly lazy analysis that plays on America’s often unspoken cultural beliefs around race. While it is true that race is a major cultural marker in America, this fact is not innate and the oft repeated argument that “homogenous” societies can do things that we can’t amounts to little more than “we can’t do it because we are different”.

You italicized innate so I assumed you meant to put special emphasis on that part?

For example, it's at least theoretically possible for someone who had ancestors a few generations ago that were enslaved to suffer some bonafide inherited and disadvantageous epigenetic mutations.

Or for those who has ancestors who got shell-shocked in past wars, got involved in serious car crashes, etc...

I'm not sure if such factors should be considered legally, lest competition turn it into some kind of pity olympics, but there's a non-zero chance large segments of the population came out of the womb genuinely, innately, disadvantaged slightly.
Excellently written. A nitpick on your final point:

> Phones are an extension of our organ senses now. How will a world in which Things Come to Us and We Dont Go to Things anymore affect us cognitively long-term?

This may be looking at it backwards. Rampant smartphone addiction and overuse begins to shape all things in a "medium is the message" type of effect. The less need there is to physically "Go to the Thing" - whether the thing is the television room, office, movie theater, mailbox, rental store, newsstand, grocer, etc - the more natural it becomes to sit in place and let Things Come to You. If we accept everyone using their phone all the time as "the way things are now", the vicious cycle will continue.
Interpolating Arbitrary Shapes
Musk is a staunch free speech opponent. You need not listen to what he says, just observe what he does. There may not be a single thing on this earth Musk hates more than free speech.
The lab I'm involved in right now started off pleasant but there were definitely a handful of people who were less than pleasant to work with. Our PI has played a big part in picking the right people but we've all been very supportive of each other too. I don't think any one person started it but we all speak well of each other and it's only improved over time even when providing criticism of each other's work. This has been a big deal given our time working with human subject data throughout a pandemic.

At this point I can't think of anyone in my lab I don't like working with.
Sorry, but you make it sound like there are many. That allow posting, and free, I think I only know one.

It's been a while since I looked. I could have sworn there were at least a handful, but either A. I might be mis-remembering or B. the landscape might have changed since I checked last.

That said, there seem to be quite few who offer cheap if not actually free access. And by "cheap" I mean, on the order of $10.00 (USD) / month or less.
Depending on where you live this may not be a legal option. It shouldn't be like that but there are plenty of places where e-bicycles need to go through a certification track that costs a large multiple of a single e-bike. This to ensure that you match the maximum assist and top speed factors and that the bike is safe from an electrical point of view (which is an important enough factor).
>“I really liked how you tackled this, have you thought about this approach?” Instead of “Why didn’t you do it this way?”

That crosses the line by lying, I think it would be better to say "I think it would be better if you did it this way." It's bad to call them stupid or make a superfluous claim of objectivity, but you don't need to pretend to smile and praise.
I respectfully disagree (well, ok, Congress sucks, sure). But NASA has too many priorities (which means they really have none).

If they can't make space-internet sexy, then they should hire a marketing firm. Heck, insurance companies (insurance!!!) are able to raise millions from VC firms, then space-internet should be able to raise something from Congress.

My belief is that it's not really important to NASA, and they aren't really trying to sell it to congress. My bet at this point is that the Chinese have internet access on the moon before we do (albeit they're firewalled version).

And yet evidence of actual innocence (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herrera_v._Collins) isn't enough to stop an execution.
My way is to write an internal Newsletter highlighting people’s interesting work, achievements, and highlight often-overlooked gotchas. People liked it, even the most introverted DevOps was happy that people started asked him more about his work, such as, his beautiful documentation.
The idea im having would not add much, if any, weight to the mouse, and in some cases might even lower its weight. At least in my initial vision, the mouse upper shell (and possibly buttons) would be replaced with this product, and would be formed for the users hand, in the users "comfortable" or most often used position.
I would say ledger is more about knowing where your money is going, and ghostfolio is about making sure you minimize the risk of losing said money all at once after you hit a certain wealth threshold
> Is is about their DNA (nature) or their culture (nurture)?

It's always about culture.

The British Empire employed a strategy of divide-and-rule: it encouraged and amplified the caste system, and also encouraged the partitioning of society along religious lines. On top of that, it layered the English class system, and a horribly-botched partition.

I don't mean to imply that Indians don't have agency; they've had 80 years to fix the mess the Empire left them with, but things are getting worse (IMO).

I don't like empires. I look forward to the breakup of Great Britain. I think the USA is struggling to hold itself together. Most complaints about China are about the imperial domination of ethnically-distinct regions by the Han. The current war in Europe is a war of imperial conquest. I wonder whether India might be too big and diverse to manage, too?

I would imagine integrating North Koreans into the South would be far more difficult than the reunification of Germany. The technological and health gap alone is huge and even their language has started to drift apart.
> If you look at what you produce in terms of garbage and other waste every month it is completely insane. Everything is packaged in plastic, high grade cardboard, glass etc.

This has bothered me since I was a child and drove by a landfill and realized just how much trash we produce. I met someone that went a month without using one time use plastic and she couldn’t really avoid it. It’s everywhere.
As a saxophone player myself, I highly recommend Matt Stohrer's work. It is full of useful information about the instrument and maintaining it. They are finicky instruments that need a lot of attention. I'd go to him all the time, but he's way down in North Carolina and I hate sending my saxes off with carrier services. I'm lucky that my local repairs are done by Jack Tyler at Boston Sax Shop.
>> if he wants to sell services to government agencies, he's definitely on the wrong path.

He wants to sell advertising. "Government advertising" is a thing in some countries, or so I hear.

Surveillance and protecting the homeland from threats is also something that some governments might pay for.
That's the point — even my relatively affordable (for a home theater setup) system is still far outside the price range of 99.9% of the world.

So for the vast majority of people, the only way to properly listen to a movie is in cinemas.

As I already touched upon earlier, I don't think that's by accident.
Brand, inventory, names and addresses of all of the previous buyers, servers for the lock/unlock facility and possibly more than that.
Discord is the windows 11 of chat apps. Ads and subscription begging behind every third click.
I was on Usenet a lot up until the late 90s! I just did a quick search for Mac Usenet apps, and most of them seem oriented around file downloads.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an actually good native Mac Usenet app tailored for, like, normal discussion?
I mean, I do, but that doesn't actually matter. I ride my bicycle and take the bus, but there are places I can't visit on a bike or a bus because, through a series of intentional policy decisions that primarily benefit capitalists, towns are designed with long stretches of road that accomodate cars over all other forms of transportation. Car manufacturers and oil companies have made a lot of money off of arranging society this way.

Not Just Bikes has a good video on the propaganda car companies were pushing in the 50s here, which played a large part in creating the unprecented design of suburban America: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n94-_yE4IeU&t=1060s
Yes. And if your threat model really includes distrusting the manufacturer of your phone and its software after a specific point in time at which you have reversed all of its internals, you should have disabled software auto updates.

But that is not how most people use a phone.
Besides some more formal systems for praising/thanking people that my company has, my department has a 'Gratitude' chat on Teams dedicated to thanking people when someone goes out of their way, unblocks you, demonstrates extraordinary patience, gets back to you especially quickly, etc.

I think it's awesome. It sets a public precedent for kind behavior and appreciative attitudes. It always makes me happy to see people thanking each other in that chat.

A blockchain is just a database. Why not learn various non-blockchain related database systems instead?
Hah, I was going to say that I've successfully faked a limited form of snapshots using clonefile, and then turns out that's what the implementation-in-progress is doing.
Exactly and can be sold many times over to various sources, including government sources.
not true anymore. give codellama-7b-instruct a try. Just install Ollama. Pretty mind-blowing performance for the ram it uses and how fast it is. It's in the ballpark of chatgpt-3.5-turbo for code related stuff
Thanks. I swear when I searched for them, there wasn't a single one.
I think the problem with coding is that people who are very interested still get stuck, I suspect this happens less often with people interested in chemistry/math etc. (possibly because of survivor bias because people drop out of it sooner, because there is no money in it)

There are countless reports of people 'not getting it' after studying for 4 years, they cant make fizzbuzz, and I dont mean they dont get some nuance of it, they literally cant even start typing.

I dont think there is artificial "ceiling" to coding, I think we still have to learn how to teach it, and particularly how to teach it to a mass of people.
My recollection is that it is the opposite: Cloudflare and archive.is have disagreements about DNS, and as a result archive.is blocks Cloudflare.
Have you used ComfyUI with inpainting?

I have, have you? It is high level automation. Go ahead and show me an image where you can move the camera, move the lights and keep it temporally stable.

Oh they can notice alright, Corridor Digital on YouTube

No they don't. I know you think you watching some youtubers kick and scream means you understand an entire industry, but it isn't true. You don't watch a video on brain surgery and then think you understand everything that's going on either and the guys you are talking about are not exactly brain surgeons.

Picking a single bad shot out of hundreds is good for a youtube video but it has nothing to do with anything I was saying and it has nothing to do with noticing all the detail work that goes in to every shot. You didn't even understand what I was saying in the first place.

But my point is that those films still make billions of dollars, so at some point most people simply don't care and will watch it anyway.

People don't care about what? Hundreds of millions spent on CGI? People do care, it is extremely difficult and you have no idea what you are talking about.

kids will be making blockbusters in their bedrooms

If there were any truth to this, kids would be able to at least write the scripts to blockbusters in their bedrooms so show me that first.

"If you want a fully temporally coherent image when moving a virtual camera around, wait a few years."

Based on what? These 2D techniques that were just invented? The fact that people can paint colors and a badly photo shopped looking image comes out?

I have no doubt that people will continue to refine what they are working on, but the claim was "kids will make hollywood blockbusters in their bedrooms". What do you think the actual visual effects people will do with these techniques?

You can actually go back 25 years and see techniques for extracting a foreground from a background called natural image matting. You could look at that and say "in the future no one will need green screens, no one will need outlines, compositing will be automatic" but a quarter of a century later, it is still being worked on and is just another tool.
This is good, but better yet is to then remind the manager again at the key point in the year/cycle right before performance reviews are being filled in.

This has the most chance of having an impact plus it adds weight to the compliment (ie if you remembered how good they were perhaps five months later it's not just a throw away comment)
No, see above: it's been a while since I looked at the usenet landscape. TBH, I'm tempted to set up my own, but I'm not sure I have the time/energy/money to deal with the peering stuff. But never say never...
