> I think you’ll find that for the most part beliefs that are present across religions are pro-adaptive in the economic and technological contexts in which they arise.

True! But we have to remain open to the possibility that any such belief could represent a local maximum, roughly analogous to Ptolemaic astronomy or Newtonian physics: Serviceable in limited contexts but falling apart in others.

> western secular humanism seems like an “ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of” Christianity.

Which half of Christianity would that be?

Being serious now: Christianity — the version actually preached by Y'shua of Nazareth — is simply Judaism stripped down to two specific commandments from the Hebrew Bible: Love God, love your neighbor as yourself. See the Parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37 ("Do this and you will live [eternally]") [0] and its counterpart in Matt. 22:34-40 ("On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets"). [1] Jesus wasn't trying to start a new religion: He wanted Jews to be better Jews, and he seems only reluctantly to have concerned himself with non-Jews.

What we now think of as "Christianity" and its doctrines of the Triune God, soteriology (how "salvation" is achieved), and christology (what was the nature of Jesus): Those came later — in some cases, much later — from others, not from Jesus himself, so far as we know.

The demographic cliff happens before the fall in number of required jobs, because location specific manual labor and infrastructure maintenance has not been automated, and may be out 50 or so years due to robotics cost.

Just look at the number of help wanted signs in the US.
The author says:

"Reasoning, the type you get from scaling these models to get larger, doesn’t matter for 85% of use cases. Researchers love sharing that their 200B param model can solve challenging math problems or build a website from a napkin sketch, but I don’t think most users (or developers) have a burning need for these capabilities."

This disqualifies his thesis for me. The generative AI revolution is not about having nive little features like summarization implemented in your apps. It is about much greater things than that. It's about real AI agents.
I had the same thought. So I did a bit of digging into it, turns out they are just rehashing the same tweet again and again. Just with different wording. When a new popular tweet pops up, everyone copies each other. It's an echo chamber down there.

As an experiment, you can try to choose a random popular tweet from your timeline. Look into their profile. And I bet there's a high chance you can find the same or very similar tweet a few months or year prior

I'm just guessing but it seems highly likely that the original production was recorded to film and not to tape. Given access to the original film would make it easy to transfer at a higher quality than the original broadcast.
We switched to glass recently and it's great. They're more durable. They don't stain. They're easier to clean. And, this is subjective, but they just feel more substantial; it's nice in a way that's hard to describe.

These glass containers will likely last forever.

They are more expensive than the cheapest plastics, but it's buy-once, so not a significant long-term factor.
The difference is that Brubeck and Reed each have different approaches to music. That's great that Dave loved playing 'Take Five' for the entire span of his career, but there's nothing wrong with other artists wanting to move on from something they've done in the past. The idea that artists owe us something or should play whatever the crowd wants with aplomb is misplaced, in my opinion.

>Even if I were to stop putting stuff in the microwave, that won't account for all the other foods I eat outside the home that may have had microwaving as part of their preparation process

Whether at home or "outside the home", microwaving is just not seen in a good light in most of Europe I know, and is seldom a thing except as a low-class convenience when you're like a student or something. Though most fellow students I knew would never go for it either, and would start to cook simple but proper food themselves after the 2nd year or so.

Okay? Some of us might want to.

As the git people love parroting of its myriad kitchen sink commands, "if you don't like it you don't have to use it".

I'd rather have a single integrated tool than the shopping list of "just use X and Y and Z" people are prescribing in this thread for getting the so-called git ""ecosystem"" ""working"".

Not that I'll necessarily use all the added features; but the ones I do want being integrated is absolutely relevant to my interests.

> it's similar to laws where the penalty is a fine; devastating for many people if they get caught, but for those with wealth, it's just the cost of business to do whatever they want.

The purpose of a fine is to put a price on something. Parking on the school lawn is a nuisance, so to do it you have to pay $65. For most people that isn't worth it, but if Richie Rich wants to park on the lawn every day, that's great! Now society has more than $20,000/year to spend on homeless shelters or cancer research or whatever you like.

It works as long as the fine is at least as much as is necessary to compensate society for the nuisance. And if it isn't, you've set the amount of the fine wrong.

But the amount of the fine is the same for everyone because the amount of the nuisance is the same for everyone. You don't get a discount if you have less money because you only get to do it if you're willing to more than compensate society for the cost you're imposing.

The problem with surveillance is entirely different: It's not that powerful people don't suffer the same penalty as everyone else, it's that they excuse themselves from that penalty because the recording is "lost" whenever it's to their advantage. And a technology which is only used by the powerful to oppress is to be destroyed.

I can tell you've had to articulate this before. I admire your courage in the year 2020+ to discuss the topic. This explanation makes sense.
A common analogy is to think about traffic lights.

If you run a penetration test, asking an individual to run a red light. You will achieve near 100% success.

However, when the traffic lights change actors’ behaviors to stop (at some probability such that it results in less collisions), most actors will stop according to the traffic lights.
This is sixel. It’s kind of a standard and supported by a growing number of terminals, including xterm (but you need the VT-340 profile).

Stepping back for a second...do we have evidence that these sorts of issues are actually the cause of a significant number of breaches rather than paranoia on the part of people that are paid to be paranoid?

That's not a rhetorical question, I 'm actually curious to find out. The reason I ask is that of all the big security breaches that end up in the news, I cannot recall a single case where these sorts of issues (for instance, not locking down deployment to production) was the root cause.

Truth, the primary impact was the ability to arbitrarily inflate the cost of soft goods dramatically inside the terminal.

It's such a good racket Hudson News...a little news stand company inside a few dozen terminals was able to go public on the NYSE...

The public perception that security is "doing it's job" is non-existent since everyone knows it's at best a jobs program and in practice another group of people measurably stealing travellers things.
I agree with you for the most part, I really like writing shebangable dependency-free python scripts.

But I 100% understand the motivation for this project. Like you said, subprocess.Popen works well enough, but it's so much less ergonomic than shelling out in Ruby, Perl, or even Awk.
I don't have a source but I've read the same thing; that a lot of what ticket master takes in is getting bounced around. It's a view I find very plausible intuitively. The artists (esp. the "name" artists) have all or nearly all of the leverage - whatever the ticket costs above what you'd paid if you bought at the gate is money they're leaving on the table.
Discrimination due to one’s family history is not a requisite for caring about who someone is.

I already maintain two dozen GNOME projects. I wrote a huge amount of GTK's OpenGL renderer, the profiler we use on GNOME, GNOME Builder, and a huge amount of other parts of GNOME. I've even started to fix the library that people will actually use (VTE) instead of fragmenting communities with some other project.

My commitment to "FOSS" is not up for debate.

I've written in multiple places what it takes to get stuff that fast. If that isn't enough for any of those projects, I'm happy to take money in exchange for my time.
Legislation can be written so that there is no bypass. Google's billions would not save them if tomorrow they embarked on building a private nuclear SLBM fleet.
Yes, I was the one saying that _people_ consider it suspicious, but I'm also the one saying that as a company your only course of action is to not comment on legal matters unless legally compelled to. Those two things are not mutually exclusive. People (in aggregate) don't act rationally, so even if it's going to lose you some customers, no comment.
> Like, literally everyone would be better off if the TSA paid people to just stay home and do absolutely nothing at all.

We would also all be better off if we lived in a socialist utopia where everyone helps each other, free housing, free food, unlimited transportation, no money, no jobs, no rich employers, no corporations, no war, famine, etc.

But all of that is as likely to happen as an American population giving poor people money to live just because there aren't any jobs that will hire them where they live with their qualifications.

So instead we do the hack of a welfare program disguised as a valuable civic service and eat the larger cost to the economy. Every politician knows it's a welfare program, and they love it, because they don't have to call it one.
Your point of this requiring user action matches my point exactly.

There is a giant industry here. Any attempt at top down regulation will fail at that and get either regulatory captured or poked holes through for the big players.
I have a camera tripod[0] with detachable legs, allowing you to use it as a monopod. The thing's incredibly sturdy, and the monopod could easily be used as a hiking pole. Similarly, maybe there's a way to DIY a tripod out of hiking poles?

The rules really are ridiculous. You aren't allowed to bring a clear bottle of water, but you are allowed to bring fish in your carry on. Freeze that water, or put a fish in that bottle of water, and it is allowed, because you're transporting live fish! I was going through a checkpoint a few weeks ago and forgot a filled, reusable water bottle in my backpack. Instead of just letting me dump the bottle out and proceed, the TSA handler made me go to the back of the line and go through the entire checkpoint, body scanner etc again. If I had just brought a fish with me, I could have avoided the whole thing.

> water molecules in food start to vibrate producing heat

That isn't really how microwaves work. Or, perhaps, that's how all radiation heat things work. It's any molecule that will absorb radiation of that frequency. So your grill works the same way, just at a different frequency. At microwave level, it's water, fats, all sorts of things. The difference is really the stuff that doesn't absorb at those frequencies.
This seems like a very hostile and unreasonable take. People in developing countries have far greater need for access to financial services, banking and loans. rich countries have that already because they have stable governments. Poor countries don't. While crypto has its risks, the risks of unstable national currencies can be greater. So it's a reasonable decision to consider crypto in that context. People in rich countries have less need. For rich stable nations, crypto will have to offer more than simple services and better-than-Venezuela security.
Then change your definition to something useful. I care about impact on human health, so if you reduce (via personal choice) exposure by 1 out of 10, but 5 is enough to seriously impact you and anything above 5 but below 100 has no additional impact, then you've achieved 0
Yes, I think if someone cares enough to leave negative feedback, they found it interesting enough to at least try it out, and they're (often) at least invested enough to see if their feedback has any impact or makes a difference. They will look again.

The people who see your thing as useless and don't even try it are the people you never hear from.
Pretty cool, but it seems like the 3D render isn't actually synced with the video so there's horrible lag if you pan at all.
Oh man, this comment hits too close to home.

Spent 2+ years building my developer tool extension SnipCSS as a side project and I still only make $1K MRR.

You want to write 100k lines of code and make $1k / month? Sell a developer tool. You want $45k / mon, and travel the world? Sell shovels to influencers that exploit some trend.
Agreed. I make an e-paper calendar with google sync and everytime I talk about it, people love it.

But it's so, so hard to find a scalable way to market it. Landing pages, photos, ads. All that stuff is very important and genuinely super hard.
Unreal performance from the iPhone.

But that’s an old camera. I bought the latest, cheapest mirror-less Canon a year ago, and it was CAD 1600 with a 28-105mm lens. It’s got a full-frame (ie, much larger area) and more advanced sensor than the DSLR in the article.

No smartphone is going to match it, possibly ever.
Can't be solved completely, anything can be social engineered. But thats no excuse for not solving as completely as possible. I couldn't discern from the article the extent to which any technical vulnerabilty was involved -- or if it was pure social engineering, eg with the criminals using the info they had gotten out of the user to gain access to their accounts via more social engineering of their bank? Was an Android system exploit involved? Was the malware app able to escalate its privilege and access info from other apps? If either of those, what about Android's security model or implementation needs to be further hardened? (Naive questions, I'm neither a security nor a Android engineer.)
Cheers, I'll check it out!
Yes. If a restaurant microwaves, it would be some horrible place meant for the equivalent of "white trash" or the kind found in tourist traps (which for tourists might be the only kind they ever try, especially if they don't bother much to see where locals eat).

There are all kinds of industrial heated plates, continuously running pots on stoves, or always on ovens, etc restaurants use to keep the day's food heated or slightly reheat it.
It depends on the school but I would argue that public schools are not in the business of instilling morals. Maybe religious schools or boarding schools can instill morals, but a public school is not going to overcome whatever bad influences a child has at home.

On the other hand, public schools can and should take measures to control the specific behaviors that happen inside that school.
It's still GTK 3 using VTE and so doing the drawing with Cairo. It (VTE) has a lot of optimizations that made sense when we didn't have working GPU drivers.

But for GTK 4, we can do things much differently and faster.

I absolutely love D’s contracts with pre and postconditions. These I can simulate in other languages however. The invariant is where D really shines imo.
Also the fact that you can overwrite the r value constructor, move constructor and cooy constructor are great ideas and the static function support is also good!
Not all leftovers need to be crispy.

Microwaves work pretty well for saucy Chinese food, for example. (The alternate method is usually steaming, which is even soggier.)
We need a universal 'support this icon' which opens up dozens of options with search and suggest.

a little click / tap - open up options
- send a small payment (paypal, venmo, crypcoin, more)
- setup a regular support (patreon, superfans, etc),
- watch an ad (able to choose type of ad and content to watch or avoid)
- share this content via ..social, your site, etc.. remix..
- give a like / subscribe / follow on ..

(the site owner can choose defaults / add info maybe)

and a bridge for people to add money into a bucket that can be translated to wherever.. I've run into people online I needed to send money to (and offline too) where figuring out how to get money from me to them is just crazy.

I believe the problems with micropayments in the past have been mainly with not accepting enough payment gateways - having a search / suggest option would make it easier.

Some people are happy to do this or that if you make it easier to do that or this, but often it's not.

Is there a portal we can click to that does some basic how to get a few dollars from [where you are] to [where it's going] the easiest, least cost, most secure / less worry?

This is different for many people and places.

It's been a long time since I did that but they also had a deal where if you ran a certain number of local NY races you got the chance to buy a bib number. Come to think of it I think you can also get a chance to buy if you have a fast enough time in a qualifying race.
First we make it fast. Then we remove the FPS restriction. I would be very surprised if I don't manage to nuke that as part of this work.

> I currently live in a one-bedroom apartment near Silicon Valley; I can't afford to buy a house anywhere near the Bay Area unless I wanted to commute from Stockton

I mean, you are going to have to get a mortgage to buy a house no matter which country you live in. A mortgage of $4-5k/month can still be doable assuming you saved enough for a down payment, though the lack of houses being sold makes it much more difficult to buy. That said, it's a similar story in every city I've been to - London, Boston, Saigon, HK, Delhi, Shanghai, Tel Aviv, etc.

> As someone who travels to Japan frequently, my dream is to own a vacation home there. Outside of Tokyo homes can be even cheaper; I've seen listings in rural parts of Japan for places as low as $40,000!

Prices are lower, but managing, buying, and owning property is difficult if you aren't a Japanese national.

A lot of those cheap rural houses are in their versions of WV or Idaho, where you can still find houses for a similar price.

> Even so, I'd still be able to afford a home in a suburb of Tokyo

To be fair, anything that isn't Central Tokyo is the Japanese equivalent of Stockton socially.
How did you determine that? People in airports can be extremely abusive.
