I guess you're suggesting that you can build an abstraction layer (I guess you're calling it missionary) which (a) can reliably intermediate every interaction between a user program and any potentially non-deterministic API, and (b) can be configured at runtime as synchronous/serial/deterministic or async/concurrent/non-deterministic. Is this accurate? (If so, I'm pretty confident that this is infeasible.)
I used to find it worked here and there for me (Shanghai Telecom, 4/5G was OK. Home didn't work). Shadowsocks worked well for me but then got janky - ended up using a local VPN for gaming and Windscribe for general browsing. For 3 sweet months I could run a AWS node and relay through that with awesome speeds but then that broke too. Ended up just with a residential IP and that solved everything til I left.

There is of course times like when the Two Sessions are in order and nothing worked.

I don’t mind scrum, specifically the daily stand up. In an old job a couple non-contributors became obvious. And so has been my work ethic. I benefit from that because I’m naturally the kind of person to get things done. Despite my good feelings about it, I also see how often it’s used as a) an excuse to micromanage and b) a mechanism to feed leadership’s need for attention. I don’t know if this is accurate or not, but I’m inclined to think people that get into managerial positions are more social and that seems to come with an intrinsic need to be seen, recognized, and given some form of public accolades (like everyone laughing at thier funny jokes). And while I like the accountability of stand ups, you’re going to get my PRs anyway and your agile tickets/cards are getting moved to done whether I’m in a meeting or not. I think overall it’s a bit of a waste of time for me. That’s just my personal opinion though. Maybe I’m wrong, feel free to give feedback. I’m open to being convinced otherwise.
Indeed. It's often said that's what's being traded away when using ad-supported products is attention, and that's true, but only partially. Users also trade away some amount of control over their own way of thinking and decision-making processes because whether one realizes it or not, no matter how hard they may try to firewall off external input, ads influence us.

Framing it that way, it becomes clear how unequal of a trade ads really are.

>The GFW blocks WireGuard, right?

~1-2 years ago: yes
Currently: I don't know.

I worked for a web company and we were getting reports that our websites looked wrong/bad/messed up from within China.

So we needed an IP within China to confirm.

1st attempt: SOCKS proxy = worked, and confirmed that GFW or something was screwing up our content. (simple SSH tunnel)

2nd attempt: Wireguard = could not establish a connection to wireguard server hosted on same ISP/co-lo in China as the socks proxy.

3rd attempt: Windows RDS = worked

We ended up using RDS as that was easier for our testers to use. (despite the training I offered)
What’s an example of this forbidden Pinterest knowledge?
> which is probably necessary for full market penetration.

It's one possible way of getting full market penetration.

The other way is to subsidise EV's heavily until the market takes off. That's what was done here in Norway, now 80% of new cars sold are pure battery EVs [1]. The best selling model of car in Norway now is the Tesla Model Y.

The subsidies are gradually being phased out.

My family had at least one station wagon--Jeep Wagoneer, Ford Falcon, Ford Ranch Wagon--for most of the 1960s and 1970s. I don't remember ever hearing a concern about carbon monoxide. When did this start being talked about?
Good for you. The problem is that today’s smartphone is essentially built to be an extremely addictive fidget spinner. Those who don’t succumb to that are the exception, not the rule.

And before you say that it’s the apps you choose to install, not the phone that’s the problem, I’d say that’s a distinction without a difference.
I used to feel this way too. Now, for whatever reasons, I am helplessly addicted to the phone. Maybe I'm more depressed recently, maybe it's become more addicting, maybe I finally found the combo of apps which really hit the button in my brain that makes me constantly check it. But it's no longer just a tool for me, and I contemplate replacing it with a dumb phone constantly.

Here the combined state + federal gas tax is $0.47 per gallon.

A gas BMW 3 series actually has a very similar curb weight to a Tesla Model 3, around 4,000lb.

At 30mpg, $200 worth of gas tax would buy 425gal of gas and take me ~12,700mi. I usually driver under 8,000mi per year.

It's definitely not crazy, but strange that it is costing more than our gas tax.
For one thing, the author is 17, so cut him some slack.

For another, going entirely without a smartphone for awhile is a completely alien concept to a large segment of the population. Expanding your horizons is rarely a bad thing.

Sharing an experience like this is a great thing.
Exactly.

Yeah, not to mention, the SUVs he's comparing are especially large.

Comparing passenger cars illustrates the point as the model S weighs almost the same as the Model Y.

Mercedes E-class weighs 3,700 lbs compared to a model S which..still weighs 4500 lbs.

And no, I would not compare a model S to an s-class.
After paying this tax for road wear equity, the roads are going to be repaved and potholes refilled promptly, right? right?

Just another general fund tax.
Personally, that's why I think a Cap and Trade program is better than a Carbon tax. You're reducing the effect on lower-income people (who aren't directly exposed to increased prices caused by the tax), you incentivize innovation (so that companies don't have to buy carbon trades), and you can reduce emissions targets based on your stated goals (i.e., you can automatically reduce emissions by lowering the cap).

> Our iceberg lettuce is up to 7$/ea except for the 10% we get from California. The other ~90% is from predominantly Ontario green houses, all of which are being hammered by the Federal carbon taxes(Provincial are already carved out).

To be fair, this is the doing of the Ford government. Ontario had a cap-and-trade program under Kathleen Wynne (however bad she may be), which the Ford government scrapped for no apparent reason. By law, the federal government had to step in and implement a carbon tax, which Ford knew in advance. This increase is purely due to his government.
I personally agree, it is ringing the "apocryphal" bell in my head
As much as I hate SUVs of all types, road damage is not an issue for them. The axle weight of a fully-loaded 18-wheeler is like 8 times greater than that for an SUV, meaning they are dealing 4,096 times more damage to the road.

The problem is that nearly all of the EVs on the market are shitty crossovers. I am actively in the market for an EV, I refuse to buy a crossover, and I require all-wheel drive. Pray tell, /other than Tesla/ who is making anything that fits these requirements? Answer: Nobody. Tesla is the only EV company that seems to give a shit about making a normal-ass car you can drive outside of California where we have snow.

Unfortunately, I don't want to buy a Tesla for other reasons, but in the end that may be what I end up getting because there are effectively no other real options.

It's absurdly stupid to buy an EV that is a brick on wheels.

EVs emit about half of the co2 per mile (including manufacturing emissions) as ICE cars today, and that figure is falling rapidly as we decarbonize electricity production. In what world is a 50% reduction in emissions "stagnation"?

Private property rights are not absolute, sure. But is regulating media companies going to solve anything?

Carbon tax will force people to confront the true costs of the things they do. It should be implemented with a dividend so only people who pollute more than average end up losing money.

The idea behind LVT is basically that the most morally acceptable way for the government to raise money is by owning all of society's land and renting it out at full value to citizens. There are many reasons for this, can be read here https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/your-book-review-progr... but the answer to your question is "because the land belongs to the people and you're just renting it from them, so you have to pay more as the value increases"

Very interesting! I'm curious why there is there is a typical relationship between vpn companies and media companies, by common subsidiary ownership or otherwise. I don't really follow the logic here, is it just because the media company can promote their partnered vpn? Or is there some other reason?
I was responding to an obvious exaggeration in kind, which was a bad move on my part.

Yes people can and will still continue to do stuff for the sake of it. Some of it will be amazing. The huge things like building the next 5 CPU generations though, is that going to be practical? Who will fund that, and why?

Trying not to get political but the end of copyright feels like communism to me. No private property and all that. While I didn't live through it myself, the associated trauma WRT the USSR certainly left some deep scars that people still haven't healed from.

In any case, if -- and it's a big if -- AI continues to develop at the current rate, a solution like UBI will have to be seriously considered. Economies probably don't function when people don't create value, earn, or spend.
> longtermism is bad philosophy and that, if taken literally, it could be used to “justify” a wide range of extreme actions.

Isn't that the danger of ANY philosophy or religion? I don't buy that "longtermism" itself is a dangerous mission any more than anything else. If people take extreme, evil actions in the name of X religion, it should not invalidate that religion. I never heard of longtermism, but it seems to be based on sacrificing now and planning for the future generations. Sounds reasonable to me. That is what civilizations have always done. Cathedrals are not built for this generation, but for the next.
This might be good. I admit I look at videos from civilized countries that are not completely dependent on cars with a bit of jealousy. They built their surroundings around people, you can walk places, you can enjoy life, you get your workout just by mistake by going places. So nice. Seems we can only do that in about 3 cities in the US.
What are you talking about?

The fear could be that NVIDIAs "hacks" helps with performance and playing by the rules of the kernel developers will cost... say 10% in performance, that would be a pretty big hit for many.

I don't think there's a fear that NVIDIA will stop developing Linux drivers, that doesn't seem realistic, but I also doubt that they are going to open any more than they absolutely have to. NVIDIA isn't a open source friendly company and no Linux kernel hacks are going to change that. They'll change when it's financially beneficial to do so.

> I've heard a number of people say that the higher seating position makes them feel safer, though that feeling is not reality-based.

It is based in reality, albeit a kind of self fulfilling prophecy.

As more and more taller cars (large SUVs and pickup trucks) appear on the road the more dangerous it is for smaller cars. The crumple zones on a compact or sedan don't do much good when the front and rear bumpers of SUVs and trucks clear the hoods of smaller cars, effectively putting the bumper at eye level.
> So your argument is that private individuals, dissatisfied with the behavior of an organization, may choose to take their business elsewhere?

Yes.

Only because you are deliberately mischaracterizing it. No man has the right to void a contract without just cause, nor interfere in the contractual relations of others. When Hurricane Electric unilaterally decides that someone downstream of them has violated their terms of service that is precisely what they have done. Furthermore, someone holding themselves out as a business does not have the right to arbitrarily refuse service to anyone... that much has been made abundantly clear over as many decades of the struggle for civil rights.

Put simply: customers can freely choose not to do business with you. You, however, generally do not get to choose who your customers are. Green is green. This is the system you and yours have designed, and you are free to choke on it.

Oh wait till management finds engineers to scapegoat for their own decisions. If there is one truth about management, it is that they cannot accept "I told you so" from their reports.
A former colleague of mine spent a bunch of time adding computer vision to his coup control project for exactly this reason.

Intuition tells me it would be harder to achieve a precise measurement of ear protrusion than of a larger body part. This could be wrong of course, but it is generally good scientific practice to think about measurement errors when comparing sets of correlations. This may be especially true for a Bayesian, since Bayesian statistics (when placed in opposition to frequentist) strongly emphasises a deep consideration of all sources of uncertainty.
Multiply it, exponentiate (?) it based on axels too, doesn't matter, I was more saying combine weight and miles driven in some way (not a literal plus/addition).

It's a bullshit, paper-thin "policy" that exists only for KF to cover their own asses.

Let's make one thing clear, the only purpose for publishing someone's home address, place of employment, phone number, etc. (aka, "doxxing") is to condone harassment of that individual. Any claims otherwise are completely bad faith and bullshit. Nobody believes you. Stop claiming "Oh, but this information is publicly available!"

If KF truly discouraged harassment, they'd do what every other sane site does and immediately delete the post and ban the user that posted it.
> devs have basically always felt like our time is being wasted in meetings.

I think that's key. My experience is that I have often told my managers that "I don't need this meeting personally, so unless somebody else needs me in this meeting, I am losing my time".

Do you know what the managers usually answered? "I disagree, I think this meeting is useful for you. We are having this meeting to help you developers".

No wonder I don't respect my managers then, and now I happily waste my time in their meetings.
It's hard not to think that both Honda and Toyota are just trying to convince EV buyers to delay their purchase since something "much better" is about to be released, or at least until they have time to release competitive EVs. Both companies are in the press talking about huge improvements possible with their solid state batteries, with no current production to speak of.
Advertising is really lucrative. MS wants to get a bigger share of the pie, and that's done by driving people to use Bing. Also, if Bing Chat gets people used to using AI chatbots for search, that dramatically increases the cost of delivering search. Search results are not a huge chunk of Microsoft's revenue, but they are Google's main source of income. Search standardizing on LLM chatbots would take a huge chunk out of Google's margins.

> Using `((class . "alert"))` does not provide any benefits over :class="alert".

Of course it does. It is a s-exp, like everything else in this language, so it's just another list you can map, apply or otherwise transform. The keyword approach instead requires a weird incantation of

(string-trim (cadr (string-split (keyword->string :class="alert") ?=)) ?")

to extract the value from the attribute. For what benefit? If the goal is using s-exps, why not use s-exps for everything?
Interesting that the DMCA is a major block for right to repair. Yet another reason why this disgusting law must be repealed.
Huh. This reminds me of why the world so needs Linux. That they could just take off the shelf tools & plug around for a bit, learning & understanding a complex situation with crude & fast debugging, knowing only a little of the internals, and in the end improve their own situation clearly. And then they could share that knowledge with others in such a clear manner.

Nothing else in computing is like this. We just cannot help ourselves & each other in most realms of computing: we must be content with what we are given, as it is.

In almost all probability the linux system either doesn't have a GPU capable of running this high pixel clock or the cable/connector can't handle it. I'd love to know what the Mac & windows machines do; do they run 60Hz too or are they pushing all 144Hz here successfully? This seems very likely to be a cable issue, one I don't expect windows nor Mac deal with particularly excellently.

I cannot change the size of the screen with the ELF-SR2. I can many screens of varying sizes with a tethered AR display. With this, we are still looking into a box, maybe a cool and expanded box, but still a box. AR allows screens to be anywhere in the world, and the majority of consumption for traditional spatial mixed reality AR technology (so many words, so much confusion) is developers sitting at their desks working on prototypes. If I can spend $1,500 on a fancy monitor, I would rather spend $1,500 on a comfortable device that gives me many monitors. Take the computing, batteries, and the idea of stuffing it into a device under a pound and likely the price point becomes much more acceptable for adoption.

Edit: Can no longer reply to say, I think it is mostly executive bias from the mobile age that prevents the best optics from being used in a tethered format like this. Executives needs to stop seeing smartphone replacement and start seeing monitor replacement if they want early traction. Some startups building devices like this but few have the budget and amazing optics.
