I would extend this to include everyone that isn't actual law enforcement agencies.

While it's perfectly reasonable for websites to decide what content is shown, it should also be possible to decide to show ALL content, except very obviously illegal content like CSAM and actual threats (which can be notified by LE and even automated).

I am aware that this line gets blurry very quickly, but we're leaning way too much on the side of censorship.
We are just sweeping the ugly under the rug and hoping it goes away, while instead it festers, until it goes viral.
Love it! Learned a lot already in the first few articles.
I bet you didn't even get paid for writing this comment.
I cut sweeteners not so much because of the risk, but because they don't seem to help with weight loss. I've started drinking my espresso unsweetened with a bit of milk. It's disgusting. At least it's short.

But, it helped me mature my pallet and avoid the next "sweet high". Chocolate tastes too sweet for me now and I tend to gravitate to healthier options. Part of that might be projection and wishful thinking, but I think it's a sweetness I was craving too much.
Does this actually help? I don't know much about microarchitectural details, so I may be completely wrong. Let's take a simple example, I have some nodes and want to load a field and then do some calculations with the value. I load the pointers of 32 nodes into a SIMD register and issue a gather instruction, I get 32 cache misses. Now it seems to me there is nothing I can do but wait. I can not put this work item back into the queue in the middle of a memory access but even if I could, the overhead seems completely prohibitive to get things out and put them back into queues every other instruction or so.

But with hundreds of hardware threads I could just continue executing some other thread that already got his pointer dereferenced. SIMD is great when you can issue loads and they all get satisfied with the same cache line, but if you have to gather data, then values will arrive one after another and you can not do any dependent work until the last one arrived. I guess the whole point is that all the threads can be at slightly different execution points, while some are waiting for reads to complete others can continue working after their read completed without having to wait for an entire group of reads to complete.
Having just played around with it: It still is; the only difference is that everyone is left "waiting for a moderator" until one person clicks "Log in", and jumps through the hoops to let Jitsi use one of their logins (which is pretty quick if you're already logged in).

Not great, but it does at least give some accountability.
You’re the only one doing that. Nobody here has questioned that you had an unpleasant project to work on - we’re only arguing that it’s not representative of the experience now (your initial hyperbole) or even 15 years ago when the 2.3-2.5 transition would have happened. Many of us have worked on larger codebases in that timeframe with very different experiences.
Is this related to Central Pattern Generators?
Forcing people to be courteous via the legal system sounds like an excellent way to make a criminal out of everyone.
This is not correct. 'On premise' (normally hyphenated) refers to servers hosted by the same organisation as the application owner, and is opposed to cloud.

It is correct to say that an application runs 'on premise', if it can be self-hosted (often 'on premise' or 'on prem' does not literally mean that the server is on the same premises as the company's headquarters, just that the company manage the server).
Then why didn't they write the founding documents so that black people would be free and women and black people could vote? Would have saved us a lot of conflict over the years.

I don't have to imagine.

Instead on censoring speech why not provide tools that lead to better speech? This is perfectly possible from a tech stand point but companies would rather have the power that comes from censorship.

1. Get rid of anonymity/pseudonymity. Free speech is a right. Anonymity is not. If people had to post everything in their real name you would get rid of all of the fake b.s. and people would be much more civilized in their speech.

2. Provide content filtering tools based on user voting with a public record of user votes and the option for people to turn off the filters so that they can see what is filtered.

With these 2 mechanisms you can create a public square with absolute free speech where hate speech is filtered and suppressed, if people choose that, but the records are clear and people who want to audit the filtering can do so as they please.

By that standard, how is say Bellingcat not a pro-NATO propaganda outlet, when the founder was even invited to be a senior fellow of Atlantic Council, a think tank whose members have included luminaries such as David Petraeus, Colin Powell and Henry Kissinger?

The Gray Zone is not a quality outlet, IMO. They're certainly too light on Russia, and worse, bad at distinguishing genuinely damning stuff and spun fluff.

But they should still be able to take the public's funding, if the public wants to fund them.
Late 50s here and I think it'll be transformative like nothing in the past million years. I mean zooming out at history the first 13bn years have been planets form, life evolves gets conscious but has to watch it's conscious loved ones age die in a tiny fraction if that time. Now we can kind of merge with AI and live on as long as wanted in some probably much enhanced form. And all a lot of people can say is it may make spam worse!

Incidentally I wrote about that stuff for my uni entrance exam ages 17 and it has always seemed kind of obvious and inevitable to me. It surprises me there are so many skeptics.
The several last Samsung Galaxy and iPhone are rated IP68. While it's considered water-resistant, it's usually called water-proof for a phone.

Usually, you'll want IP X6 to begin calling it water-proof.
Yeah, same here: I upgraded to an FP4 about three months ago (from an increasingly-broken-down Samsung Galaxy S9), after puzzling for a while over whether I should wait for what looked like an imminent FP5 or just grab the FP4 that was available now. I don't regret my choice fwiw.

The battery already lasts two days under my usage model, and the phone still has a five year warranty and OS support for another three years. I see that Fairphone are still selling some repair parts for FP2 and FP3, so I expect to be able to repair my phone through that whole time period unless something weird happens.

The FP5 looks like a nice upgrade, but I don't feel short-changed: I got a new phone when my old one was failing, and it's not absolutely top-of-the-line, and that's fine. Like you, I'll think harder about the next round of upgrades (maybe to the FP6, maybe the FP7), and I'd love it if Fairphone were to be clearer about their release schedule, but I understand that they don't want to Osborne themselves.

Your system could also retry the flaky tests. If it fails after 3 or 5 runs, it's for sure a defect.
Undercharged: iPhone 14 owners complain about lower battery endurance
Lol. I paid 250 euros for the phone I'm typing this on, 240 for the phone before that, and 500-ish for my first Android because then it wasn't a high volume established market yet and that's simply what a good smartphone cost (past tense).

Paying 700 is not "relatively low", that's a huge premium which I'd be happy to pay to get my current hardware (from 2019) again but with ten years of software support and fair material sourcing and manufacturing wages. Unfortunately, the hardware is worse than what I've currently got (unwieldy size, no headphone jack, worse camera probably, no stereo speaker, no wireless charger), and the software downsides of the FP3 that I tried to adapt to for a few weeks were even worse than the hardware downsides. But anyway, that's all besides the point that 700 euros is not a normal price for a phone. If this lasts thrice as long as another 250-euro device then it's still not cheaper because the battery will need replacing.
Seems like it just use simple geo location and does not take dust and rain into account.

More sun but a lot of dust can be less efficient than less sun but no dust.
Most of those are B and C-segment cars, which are holding up ok in Europe. The real collapse has been choice and availability in the A-segment. The Fiat New 500 might be the last new offering for a while.

> Through I hope they have a way for registered people to invite someone to join a meeting without a login (through with a bunch of limitations, like them being responsible for the person joining).

I just played around with it now; it looks like login is only required to create the room -- that is, only one person at all needs to log in. Everyone else gets a "waiting for the moderator" screen before someone logs in, and just goes straight in w/o login afterwards. Presumably that person will the ability to kick people out, and can be held responsible for not doing so.

They already get taxed disproportionately based on weight alone. But this meme import needs some form of EuroNCAP curbing not just emissions related.

Something like an F-150 in Dutch cities is (in my view) an unacceptable risk for any child on a fietspad or a pedestrian. The visibility is shit, and the chances of survival on impact are close to nothing. A lorry is literally safer than that non-sense.
Except even the Yaris has got bigger over the years. (Nothing like the Mini which is now a kind of SUV).
If you read up on the Kiwifarms Wikipedia page [0] it sounds like someone needs to go to jail. Until this moment I'd never believed that sending someone a pizza would qualify as an act of violence - but now I can see it. If the site doesn't break laws then there is no reason to ban it. But there are criminals using that site and they should be caught. Banning the site is just dodging the real problem.

It's not that bit you need to check, it's the 'how' behind it.

'Inclusive' is also incredibly easy to abuse.
I've not done a thorough analysis but it seems like most flagging of posters/comments here seems to be done on the basis of conduct rather than opinion. And that's a different matter.

The thought experiment is always; if this person behaved the same way but had a different viewpoint - would they still be banned/flagged/arrested? Mostly I think it's a yes here, which is a good thing.

The problem with a lot of internet posters is they refuse to accept a distinction between conduct and opinion. If you're abusive to everyone and then get banned, it's not because they couldn't handle your radical opinions, it's because you were being a dick.
I was upgrading my Pixel 4a recently, and one of my top concerns was security updates. I wanted a phone that would continue receiving timely Android security fixes for at least 3 years, ideally 5+ years.

I liked the idea of Fairphone, but I was skittish about their ability to fund a team to keep up with the latest Android updates for the next several years.

Does anyone know how small players like this keep up with Android updates? I don't know much about how difficult it is to continue pushing Android updates out, but I assume it's at least somewhat difficult, as many of the major phone vendors do it so slowly and eventually stop after 2-3 years.

I realize those vendors have perverse incentives to stop updates to encourage customers to upgrade phones, but I assume some of it is legitimate difficulty of continuing to provide the updates.
I think here is the common misunderstanding:

No one says Agile can't have full blown requirements or the respective documents.

To the contrary, you can't expect your dev to understand what he has to write without giving him a goal he is working on - Agile won't fix that.

Agile just means you build in small steps from what you have and review your steps ASAP, instead of working multiple months based on some detailed documents, derived from other documents, written by some other department months ago, building stuff no one wanted in the first place.

It probably wasn't Ken Russell's The Devils (1971) despite being a better descriptive fit and arguably better film.
> What about if you are just a better trader?

If it was _only_ human ability / trade craft, that makes good traders (hft or conventional), imo those traders would have earned their cut.
Honoring such a market making service and economic foresight with profits is reasonable for the public.

Unfortunately, the difference between a good trader and a successfull one is not ability alone but privilege! Be it insider information or better latency, its the same thing here!

> There is no principle that all market participants must been on equal footing.

This statement is objectively false, when you take "equal footing" as "equal access".

> in every field of human activity, professionals are advantaged over hobbyists, and that's fine.

The gap between professionals and hobbyists is the same between professionals and customers, its the main reason of trustee obligations / market regulations. So something about this issue is not fine.

My point is, privileged market access leads to growing power asymmetries, which a newcomer can never compensate with genius abilities alone. This kind of market capture is similar to institutionalized corruption btw.

Once a vital service provider gets too dominant or the power gap gets too wide, regulators must step in. See health care (medical complexity), legal systems (cost of equal representation) or basically all infrastructure (obligation of contracting).

I replied to your stronghold statements, didnt i?

Now, is HFT just a client side approach of front running? Which is an insider privilege and illegal.

>But the authorities and the justice system seem unwilling to do so

To me sounds like a conspiracy theory. If their crimes are so unquestionable and clear, it should be pretty easy and straightforward to prove it in a court of law. The other alternative being, of course, that there is no crime happening here, at least under the US law, and their actions, as tasteless and despicable as they might be, are covered under the american law and KF opponents are using corporations to censor legally protected speech.
Wow! That's worse than the CCP. I thought that all these other ideas on this thread to basically make everybody buy instead of rent were bad. But to force everybody to rent from the government is literally the worst housing arrangement idea I have ever heard.

> The problem is that rural areas ("flyover states") have been left to rot: no reliable electricity grid,

I live in a flyover state in the US. Quality electricity is not a problem, save for areas that are Amish and simply don't use it. Even there, electricity is at the curb, it's just never been run to a home. On the telecom front, most rural areas have WISPs, mobile carriers (5g home internet isn't bad) or local telecom companies (DSL & Fiber) that have also solved this problem. It did take almost 20 years to solve the internet issue, and there are some rural homes that are located geographically where wireless won't work well, but on the whole things are a lot better than you are saying. The real issue in a lot of small towns is that the homes are old and often expensive to maintain, there's little entertainment and most importantly, jobs are still a problem. Between remote workers moving out of the city and the trend towards more onshoring of manufacturing, small towns in my state are starting to show signs of life, finally.

> that this neglect is a direct cause of people losing trust in democracy is just the icing on the cake

Not sure if you meant to say "icing on the cake" here because it comes across that you are celebrating people losing trust in democracy.
Apparently, according to a guy trying to put in a higher offer on a car already sold, used estate cars in the UK are now selling at a premium because people who actually want such a car for its practical benefits, including farmers (a battered Volvo V70 and then XC70, which isn't a crossover like the XC60[1], is a common sight on a farm) struggle to find them because the market is full of shiny "wank tanks" with the boot space of a chunky hatchback coming off leases.

[1] and now the ridiculous XC40, for which they discontinued the "actually a car" V40, three years after also discontinuing the XC/V70 entirely.
Those nodes in the queue have to come from somewhere and that is where the inefficiency lies.

If you use SIMD gather instructions to fetch all the children of a node, that is still going to be very inefficient on e.g. a Xeon. Each of those gather loads are likely to hit different cache lines, which are accessed only once and waste 7/8th of the memory bandwidth pulling them in. SIMD is also not going to help if you are memory bandwidth or latency bound, we're talking ~0.1 ops/byte here.

A term has a meaning, and the fact that people don't actually practice it doesn't mean you can just change what it means.

> A film is very waterfall-y in how it is produced. But good directors maintain their flexibility on set by

Right. So they don't stick strictly with waterfall, even though the industry tends to be "waterfall-y".

My understanding is that in some (non-software) industries, waterfall is practiced because you really can't go back and change things. Or maybe you could, but it would mean increased cost and delays to the extent that you might as well have started all over.

There was a time when people thought "software engineering" was really engineering, so you had to follow traditional engineering best practices. eg. Do it right the first time, make plans and stick with them. It just turns out that this doesn't work for software, and as you said, nobody is really stupid enough to do strictly that now.
Industrial history is full of freewheeling corporate research departments inventing the future for the benefit of all stakeholders. And of dangerous examples what happens when you either 1) lack this innovative capacity or 2) lack the foresight or courage to leverage the new technology.

As a ginormous company, given the historical trends, Meta would be rather poorly positioned if it didn't have a research wing.

We can view this also from the point of view how the resources are used for the benefit of innovation. Some companies have a distributed innovation budget (ie. 3M:s 15% time for all). A research department composing 15% of Meta:s personnel costs would be rather huge (I have no numbers what the actual cost is). So having a dedicated research function can be also viewed as a rather cost effective way to stay ahead of the curve if benchmarked in this context.
> But that can't be disk I/O, so that would leave networking?

Networking is a huge part of cloud applications, and network connections take orders of magnitude longer to go through than disk access.

There are components of any cloud architecture which are dedicated exclusively to handling networking. Reverse proxies, ingress controllers, API gateways, message broker handlers, etc etc etc. Even function-as-a-service tasks heavily favour listening and reacting to network calls.

I dare say that pure horsepower servers are no longer driving demand for servers. The ability to shove as many processes and threads on a single CPU is by far the thing that cloud providers and on prem companies seek.
Having a tough time understanding the impacts of this work. Fast boot times matter if you boot often. So what’s the use case here?

Hmm, actually I’m not sure I even understand the whole “serverless” thing that much to be honest.

Running FreeBSD as if it’s a “process” on Linux is interesting in a way but - who does this?
Not the person you asked but I'm in exactly the same boat: coding since decades and had never heard of Deno (but I have "of course" at least heard of node.js and React and Angular and ...), have been mainly coding C++ and OpenCL/CUDA.
As much as I like the L10su (recommended it to a friend and put Valtudo on it for him), caveat emptor: The ultrasonic sensor used for carpet detection is prone to fail. Most detect no carpet anymore (and proceed to mop it), others detect it everywhere (and don't mop anything anymore).

You should be prepared to sending it in for a warranty repair, probability for failure seems to be 5 to 10% from what I notice on the Valetudo telegram channels. Check Google for other peoples experience with Dreame repair centers.
He replaced the sensor himself, but that breaks the warranty seal.

Others than that, he's absolutely happy with it.

Check https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/buying-supported-robots... for the list of recommendations. I've a L10pro myself and it works well, too. But looking at the prices, I'd get a D10s plus or pro myself these days (that is, if the L10su wasn't an option, since it has the superior feature set; I'd be willing to take the risk with the sensor and just swap it).

Mmmh, 5 years warranty, but if it uses android, I guess in 3 years the phone is going to slow down for a mysterious reason. What about in 6 years?

By the way, I wish there was a trustworthy, technical investigation or study on why android slow down after a few years, what's the root cause, and how it can be justified.
Yeah, You're way off your game when you're drunk. I learned that lesson the hard way a few times over in my early 20s (though not so hard that I needed a trip to the hospital).
Simple async JavaScript is still single threaded with an event loop. In other words, your async code is just a task deferred for later and only one task runs at a time, only moving onto another task when complete or explicitly yielding via “await”.

Service workers are threads. They’re basically separate JavaScript processes you communicate with with IPC, with other special privileges and capabilities allotted to them.
