It's probably a reasonable working assumption that eligibility ages may get pushed up, benefits might be trimmed, but the system will still be there--especially given that private sector defined benefit pensions mostly just exist for people who had them decades ago.

We were all baffled, baffled I tell you, about the spacecrafts' need for wings in the vacuum of space. Plus how they could expand/retract them for different flying configurations. I mean it makes a cool toy, I can promise you that, but I think X-Wing wings were harder to justify than the unwieldy B-wing or the TIE Fighter's panels (were they supposed to be solar?)
So the planes hitting the towers were as natural as the sun rising in the morning? What?

I expected a bit better than this for a launch of "the next amazing cool thing"; distinguishing between full stops and honorifics seems pretty dang basic. As xrd said issues like this make the books unlistenable, it's too distracting and weird. didntcheck plugged librivox which is nice if mixed in terms of quality, I'd also plug "libby" for anyone who doesn't have it: check out audiobooks from your library.
Yea, if the author is only thinking about text data, then maybe they'd have a point. But the world in which 'intelligence' exists only a tiny bit textual. Visual then audio data represent most of what humans interpret. And who knows what continuous learning will look like.

If you believe we are moving towards the more 'star trek' like future of AI where AI observes and interprets the world as humans see it and experience it, a massive amount of compute is still needed for the foreseeable future.

If you believe we are capping out on AI capability soon for some time, then you'll see AI as more of part of the "IBM toolkit" offered as an additional compute service and it will more likely 'fit' in our existing computer architectures.

I could have picked literally 100’s of other stories; this one wins due to recency bias and the authors cyberpunk roots.
>terrifying about conspiracy theories

People DO conspire. History is filled with examples both large and small.
Suspecting a group of people of conspiring is not scary, there are lots of crazy theories out there that do no harm, ancient aliens, crystal skulls, all kinds of stuff.

"conspiracy theory" is a term with a lot of power, I would argue that people in power who actually do conspire have a pretty good incentive to call things that might expose them by that term. This ensures that the media cannot cover the topic without hurting their own reputation and that people who discuss it will be in the out-group and less likely to be taken seriously. In fact, they also have an incentive to play up the craziest ones (pizzagate, birds aren't real) to discredit and cover what might actually be a real case of conspiring.

You cannot stop people from coming up with crazy theories and talking to each other about them, particularly in the age of the Internet. The only thing you can do is discuss and provide evidence against them. Using that label only emboldens believers nowadays, since they become more convinced that the powerful are using the power of the term to suppress them.

I think they are motivated by their urge to micromanage and nothing else. It’s a fallacy to think the “great leaders” are infallible. The last couple of years is a proof that these leaders can be as dumb as rocks.
This is why even white collar workers need to have a good look at unionization. Even highly compensated workers at tech companies ultimately have little to no power within a corporation. Corporations are tyrannical authoritarian institutions and the only way to prevent them from harming workers is government intervention (I.e. labor laws) or workers collectively bargaining.
Some of the classrooms in my high school had TV/VCR mounted in the corner from the ceiling. Used for the odd VHS, usually by a sub. As such, no one dreamed they had cable—we learned on 9/11 they did. I guess the teachers were willing to let that secret out—so we could all watch the news.
Exactly. It is also hard to grasp why this is needed to be stated upfront in 2023. Do people still believe next year will be the year of Linux Desktop?
I wouldn't say "even as a child", I would say "especially as a child". In my experience, this was a far more common experience among those of us who were not yet adults at the time, than among the adults. I have long felt that it is the greatest generational dividing line in the US. I was about half way through high school at the time, and the prevailing perspective of the march to war seems to be very different among even those just a few years older and in college at the time, than among myself and people near my same age and younger.

I do think I understand it better now that I have my own children. I can imagine my fear for them driving me to supporting things that struck me as mindless vengeful insanity at the time.

I hope I'll never have to find out how I would react now to a tragedy like this.
Changing the type of runtime doesn't change the API at all.

Even in a single threaded runtime spawn requires Send and you need to use LocalSet + spawn_local for !Send futures.
Yeah while this sale further tainted the little trust I had in Google, I'm not worrying about migrating quite yet. Squarespace does what they do very well, and I suspect they'll absorb this business of Google's seamlessly.

Now if they sold to, say, GoDaddy? I'd be in a rush to ditch the platform fast.
It's necessary because some (let's face it, X) social media companies are suspected of lying (aka engaging in fraud) to consumers by claiming that they are taking aggressive action against hate speech while not actually doing so.

Sure, they could just take them to court for that fraud and get that information via discovery, but just compelling companies to publicly disclose the info bypasses all that and puts the decision making back into the hands of the consumers. And what is more American than that?
absolutely. Any project with more than a couple dozen devs will have duplicated functionality (if not directly duplicated code). When you combine that with the loose coordination, I wouldn't be surprised if 20% of functionality in the linux kernel was duplicated.
It's just so poorly managed too. A lot of these companies are heavy on engineering. The returns would likely be stronger if buildings were converted to dedicated offices for engineers; they'd pull those in who want their own office to work, let those who want to stay home keep working from home, maintain that physical presence they want for incubating junior talent, and get better productivity out of everyone.

One of his points is that NVIDIA is unlikely to maintain its current high margins, and becoming a low-cost leader would lead to lower margins, so that part is consistent.
Isn't that the issue? That the individual data point isn't worth the 10% markup - but the accumulated ( across multiple sources ) picture that's the problem.

That's why I'm proposing regulating joining up of the dots, rather than collection of each of the dots ( one is inevitable, the other is not ).

I was in 4th grade when this happened. A relatively normal morning quickly turned into a bunch of kids sitting in class watching the news.

My memories of the day itself are hazy. I was too young to really understand, of course.

It's pretty harrowing to watch the footage up to the second impact. The sudden change in tone from somewhat detached coverage of something we were yet to understand is really something. The shock of the newscasters when that second plane hit. Crazy how easy it was to see that second impact with all the cameras turned on the building.

I didn't expect my heart to pound the way it is from watching this. Chilling stuff.

That seems logically incoherent (for a court to say). An individual can leave a company if they don't want to take those actions.

Nvidia has just as much of moat as Intel does on processors. Yes, Intels dominance has subsided some recently, but even then the 'stickiness' of businesses and datacenters to stay with Intel is pretty extreme.

Nvidia does a lot of work in performance, stability, and libraries that other vendors will have to complete with.
The banana republics aren’t all that old. President Isenhour’s administration were toppling sovereign governments and democratically elected leaders directly at the behest of Dole Foods (United Fruit) well after World War II ended.

How do you know I'm not cheering about the way they decided? I'm very happy to keep the government from violating the first amendment. But let's not pretend there aren't billionaires paying for exactly these decisions to come down. If we are going to trust the process, the process can't be corrupted like this.

If all those companies acted within the bounds of law, then is it the companies fault for producing a product that the customer wants?

We should stop expecting morality from companies. A company is nothing more than a mechanism that optimizes for profit. We, the customer and the regulatory bodies, create the field in which the company optimizes.

If we think that something is wrong with the products created by those companies, then it's up to us to not reward those companies.

There are two layers to this:

- First: The customer does not buy products and/or services they do not value.

- Second: Regulatory bodies protect customers against companies that offer a product that they find hard to decline. Think about gambling, addiction, health effects, etc.

The big issue however, is that companies have infiltrated this layer of regulatory bodies, rendering them incapable.

We need to find a way to expel corporate interests from regulatory bodies and v.v. They can only function when they are not contaminating each other.

Some podcasts embed chapter start timestamps into the rss (atom? m3u?) metadata.

That way, you get one file (and gapless playback), but most players have a chapter skip button that will do what you are asking for.
I was a sophomore in college, it was strange because people didn't have smart phones and many people didn't have cell phones. I remember class starting and a student said, very calmly after receiving a text message about, "oh, that's weird it says an airplane in the world trade center". We all assumed it was just a small private Cessna plane that must of accidentally bumped into the one of the towers, and then class began as usual.

My roommates and I spend the next week completely glued to the television. Which is why this interface is particularly great for capturing that feeling, but it is tough to rewatch.
That is probably the most useless yet technically correct link anyone has ever given here, so congratulations on that. :-)

For those who don't want to try to find in that nearly 50000 word bill that is a massive mix of additions and diffs updating a large part of telecommunication law, here is a link to where the small section that is relevant to this discussion ended up in codified in the US code [1].

Clarification: I am not saying that their interpretation of Section 230 is correct. I am just saying that the link they provided to the text of Section 230 is in fact a link to the text of Section 230.

IMO this doesn’t seem disrespectful, more like an attempt at authenticity. For those who used computers at that time, it will remind them of what it was like, and for younger people, it helps communicate the era (before you were born, but post-GUI) that 9/11 happened in.

Add to that, avoid multivitamins if you are on medications. Turns out some vitamins, specifically Vitamin C, may prevent some medications to be absorb in the bloodstream.
I think it would have a chilling effect on social media providers who will have to think "how will our policies and practices look to California" (and other states with similar laws). If they have to report the changes every year, it basically strongly pressures a company to report that they are following whatever is politically correct at the moment. It's a slippery slope that approaches/enables prior restraint.

IMO only and IANAL.

To be fair, the article suggests early on that sometimes these plans are being processed for flights already in the air (although at least 4 hours away from the UK).

If you can stop the specific problematic plane taking off then keeping the system running is fine, but once you have a flight in the air it's a different game.

It's not totally unreasonable to say "we have an aircraft en route to enter UK airspace and we don't know when or where - stop planning more flights until we know where that plane is".

If you really can't handle the flight plan, I imagine a reasonable solution would be to somehow force the incoming plane to redirect and land before reaching the UK, until you can work out where it's actually going, but that's definitely something that needs to wait for manual intervention anyway.
I wish this text file had a last-updated-date in it.

Just recently we had a OUI chip which was being used in one of our boards, which was throwing off our post-production automated tests. Turns out the vendor added a new OUI, but didn't update all the references to its datasheets on their website. Took us a while to figure out what the problem was.
It will be difficult because of how organizations work. For example, finance and accounting people only care about shipped sales because that's when revenue is recognized whereas marketing and supply chain people think of demand sales (when order was placed). So you would need something to be able to interpret the difference depending on the audience or train the audience to be clear in their questioning.

Same goes for calendar vs. fiscal year for companies that have different fiscal and calendar begin dates. Something as simple as "2023 YTD" will mean different things depending on the audience within an organization.

My employer just instituted a 3 day a week policy, but it is not being enforced. They make a point that if this would cause you to leave, then they will work out an exception. My guess is they want the policy in place so they can enforce it when it becomes convenient.
I'm not sure if you can. Transformers are basically two differing loops of wire separated by a space. It relies on the EMF of each loop to transfer energy from one loop to the other. If a strong enough pulse comes along it may be too powerful to block. Like trying to stop lightning with a $100 UPS or any UPS to stop a millions of volts and tens of thousands of amps.
This feels like a big deal. The website seems to be getting hammered as it is working on and off.
Presumably generated lots of variations of that sentence. It's 28 bits, so you only need to have around 14 places where 4 variations are possible.

Not only do you have to trust that the people who have access to this data about you will use it only to advertise to you, but you also have to trust everyone who will ever have access to this data in the future, too.

You might dismiss that there is any inherent risk to total strangers knowing intimate details about you, but I personally think the risk of this is a "specific harm".

I think your stance is a version of "I do nothing wrong, therefore I have nothing to hide, therefore surveillance is nothing to worry about". With respect, it's naive.
