I have linked to his interactive exploration of their fee calculator, which should set many "what if" scenarios to rest.

Nobody can really say anything educated about the long-term impact on trust, but I suspect that if they can Riccitello things will return to something of a baseline and nobody will be talking about it in a year.

I trully cannot fathom Riccitello's tenure remaining viable on the other side of this. He is a dead man walking, corporately speaking.

I'm reminded of a favorite allegory which seems perfect for today:

New CEO walks into her office just as the old CEO is leaving. Old CEO says congrats and good luck; I left you three sealed envelopes which you should open in times of crisis.

Things go well until they don't. First letter says "blame your predecessor".

This fixes things until the next crisis. Second letter says "blame the technology".

Nothing could go wrong, until it does. Third letter says "write three letters".
I'd also be creeped out, but honestly it's not bad to be a bit paranoid about who can see what you're currently sending onto the internet and double checking that things are as they should

ActivityPub-WordPress is a plugin sponsored by Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com. Recently, they made a 1.0 release with some quality-of-life changes that makes integration easy and approachable to most people.

We wrote a guide going over how to get set up, along with the variety of configuration options that can be used to adjust the output.
this is robin hanson we're talking about. the guy who wrote "age of em" where quadrillions of simulated people work in cubicle farms for subsistence wages and this is good because their lives are slightly better than nothing at all.
Tesla is overestimated, not underestimated. They haven't released a new car in over 3 years, on top of a incredibly small and bland model range to begin with. Several other companies are into their Nth generation of electric pickups before Tesla has even released their first. Almost all other car makers are going electric, some with close to a century of experience building cars and massive model ranges. Tesla "got there first" and has a small lead in battery tech and charging networks, but that lead is fading fast.
The author is surprisingly confused about how the national debt works. Who, exactly, does the author think the debt is owed to? Directly and indirectly the people, that's who.

This is blindingly obvious when he mentions social security obligations. Most people both pay into the social security system and they receive money out of it -- just at different times of their lives.

In other words, there isn't really a net debt at the societal level (you can quibble about foreign effects, but the relevant numbers there look very different). It is primarily a system of (re-)distribution.

The fact that the author doesn't seem to understand this fairly basic fact makes the entire argument suspect.
> Because every update there is a new setting that needs to be turned off

That's not my experience at all. I don't have to do anything after updates except learn the changes. They keep changing Terminal, Notepad and Paint, but I'm ok with that. They're better.
Lol. Files were a mistake.
There is no such thing as a popcorn ceiling that doesn't crumble every time you so much as change a lighting fixture.
So basically the idea here is that you want to have TS-style untagged unions, but instead they're also tagged, but still unify and compose the way they do in TS? Then why couldn't you just do `{ tag: A, data: … } | { tag: B, … } | { tag: C, … }`? Wouldn't it solve your problem?

We didn't start with composability as a requirement but you're right in that if it's a goal then nesting Either's is a rather poor solution. A better fit would be variants based on row polymorphism as I described in the reply to the other poster.

It wouldn't be a 1:1 mapping to your first example though, if your union is ultimately closed (as in your first example) then you'd still need to have one extra no-op function call to unify the types. Not a big deal but row-polymorphic variants lose here. On the other hand, IMO the possibility of having them open as well is the killer feature.

Ultimately though, I don't like this style of type unification as the one happening in your first example. Shaped by the languages I'm working with, I simply don't end up in situations where I'd need something like this. I just approach the problems differently. But this is more of a subjective territory here.
Ahh. It makes sense. But it’s much better fit for file io/sockets/db.

My bad. Yes, Burning Down The House is pretty darn good too.

It was buried between cover photos when I skimmed the file list of the folder on my hard drive containing the album.

That said (after looking again, more carefully this time), I stand by the rest of what I said.
If we are going down the organ analogy road, imagine a world in which organ transplants are easy enough that there are plenty of third parties that will perform organ transplants without limiting themselves to using organs obtained through legitimate channels.

If you want to know how that could turn out badly, read Larry Niven's stories set in the first century of his "Known Space" universe [1]. In particular the stories collected in this [2], but everything in Known Space written through 1980 is great if you like hard science fiction. (I don't know about the Known Space stuff written later, because by then I was out of school and didn't have much time for fiction).

The article concerns allegations made by Ron Unz (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Unz), who currently runs The Unz Review (https://www.unz.com/). The Unz Review currently has the following article at the top of its page: The Protocols Revisited by Karl Haemers, which is a review of Protocols of the Elders of Zion: The Definitive English Edition, Edited and Translated by Thomas Dalton PhD.

"Thomas Dalton, PhD has achieved the high claim of his title, Protocols of the Elders of Zion: The Definitive English Edition. While such reading cannot be considered “entertainment,” given the urgent and alarming subject matter, I found the variety of writing styles, viewpoints and analyses among the many chapters compelling in counter-point and also in consensus. I struggle to think of any adult and youth today who would not gain crucial perspective on history and current events that they can apply to their own protection and the defense of the world. Along with bringing this knowledge to our attention once again in this new form, Dalton’s greatest contribution is the simple, clear and effective solutions he offers at the end. I am left with a persistent peal of passion:

We must do this!"

The rest of the page is taken by links to anti-semitic articles, anti-black articles, anti-feminist articles, neo-confederate articles, and various conspiracy theories.

Mmm.

Given the internet as it is, and as it has been even back when FOSS discussions included hating GIF because of patent enforcement, kids shouldn't be on the (general) internet at all.

Smartphones are even worse, given the deliberate attempts to make content more addictive.

I'm not sure how to square that particular circle with the likelihood of social exclusion from not being online — it's not like me putting (general) in brackets in the first paragraph will convince the right people that there's money to be made in a genuinely safe subset, despite the existence of YouTube Kids and whatever Netflix' thing is called.

I think it has to be balanced, we definitely don't want insanely low where every 2 years all of congress is brand new, but according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_members_of_the_United_... there has been 64 members with 40+ years of tenure within the house or senate, which I think is way to long.

uncool would be blindly objecting something without even understanding why you do it.

""We find the largest rise in American mortality rates occurred in 1999, the year Vioxx was introduced, while the largest drop occurred in 2004, the year it was withdrawn," says Unz. "Vioxx was almost entirely marketed to the elderly, and these substantial changes in the national death-rate were completely concentrated within the 65-plus population."

I found this claim very hard to believe. (For one thing, how could all those patients and lawyers suing Merck have let this get past them?) Looking at the statistics themselves, I can see no evidence for Unz's claim. Here, for example, is the death rate in the US, crude and age-adjusted, over this time span:
And to get more specific, here are the numbers for cardiovascular deaths for people 65 and over. (They're in a chart comparing them to cancer death rates as well):*

I do not see the effects that Unz is talking about. Not at all. A single-cause change in the death rate of the magnitude that he's proposing should most certainly show up in these figures (particularly the latter chart), but it isn't there. I see no reason to take this claim seriously."
So you think everyone is lying?

There’s a lot of discourse over TFR and you’re reading the conclusion of a trilogy.

You’d be very confused had you started Return of The King with no idea of Tolkien or the previous movies.
Would you agree that it is likely that there is some limit, regardless of if it's 10 billion?
The system we're building now meets most of these but not necessarily in the way described.

First, we're building a runtime configuration system on top of AWS AppConfig. YAML/proto validation that pushes to AppConfig via gitops and bazel. Configurations are namespaced so the unique names is solved. It's all open in git.

Feature flags are special cases of runtime configuration.

We are distinguishing backend feature flags from experimentation/variants for users. We don't have (or want) cohorting by user IDs or roles. We have a separate system for that and it does it well.

The last two points - distinguishing between experimentation/feature variants and feature flags as runtime configuration are somewhat axiomatic differences. Folks might disagree but ultimately we have that separate system that solves that case. They're complimentary and share a lot of properties but ultimately it solves a lot of angst if you don't force both to be the same tool.

Yep. Pick your poison. You're either nickle-and-dimed for a "NAT gateway" or overpaying for "VPC endpoints". Often, it's both. I preferred the EC2-classic days, honestly.
People have always hoped for that but it doesn’t materialize, the opposite effect does as societies mechanize. Part of the reason I think is that the value of labor magnified by automation is higher, so the opportunity cost of not working more is higher as you mechanize more!
Of course it's ridiculous to have 300kW car engines racing from light to light averaging 10mph in the city when someone on a bike can do that faster with 100W.
I believe the only thing that correlates with increased fertility is religiosity which I suppose is in a long decline as well.

You can hold that opinion and others like it, but the vast majority of other people don’t, which is why the only applications of blockchains that have ever become mainstream are (1) buying things that are illegal, and (2) speculating on token prices.

I agree with you. It feels like a clever human on "fast thinking" mode, as Kahneman would call it. So when I ask a programming question, it feels like a master student answers the first thing that comes to mind. If you ask an explanation, the first explanation that comes to mind is blurted out.

The above definition (analytic function on a moduli space of elliptic curve) actually extends in a natural way. I haven’t known what modular forms were before the parent comment, but I know algebraic geometry, and so it is natural for me to extend above definition for cases you mention.

If modular forms are (global?) sections of the structural sheaf of the moduli space of elliptic curves, the differential forms view will just be the standard construction of sheaf of 1-differentials. Similarly, since elliptic curves are easily defined over arithmetic fields, arithmetic modular forms will just be same thing, but over C_p or something like that.

I actually might be totally off in the above, but I doubt I am: that’s the power of Grothendieck approach, where everything just falls into its natural place in the framework.
It depends. Some companies that buy exploits have public “price lists” for acquisitions.

100k+ for a Safari on iOS code exec, another 200k for the Safari sandbox escape, then another 500k+ for the kernel exploit?

A full chain is real money. Especially when they resell this ability for 1-2M+ per user.

> They can't produce anything novel in the sense of finding a cure for cancer or solving millennium problems, even though they have embedded knowledge of all human knowledge.

Humans can't do this by thinking about it either. Humans would find a cure for cancer by performing experiments and seeing which one of them worked.
Most people would agree that human-level intelligence is intelligence! If a human can't reliably do a task, that rather suggests that failure to do the task isn't an indicator of lack-of-intelligence, unless you wish to bite the bullet that humans are in fact not intelligences merely because they are imperfect.

This is besides the point but those are wrong straight from the start, whichever way you cut it 1 is definitely not prime.

Hmm. You may be right. Here is the men's pants section on the Finnish site https://www2.hm.com/fi_fi/miesten/osta-tuotteen-mukaan/housu...

Equivalent items do generally look better, to me at least, compared to the US

https://www2.hm.com/en_us/men/products/pants.html

Equivalent prices, too.

For example, compare the "cargo joggers" Finland https://www2.hm.com/fi_fi/productpage.1002227020.html

to the equivalent item from the US store https://www2.hm.com/en_us/productpage.1002227011.html

To me the one available from the Finnish store has a better cut and seems to be made of a thicker material.
CRs that simply instantiate an instance aren't all that useful IMO. they're much more useful if you have something like Prometheus' case where they want to attach configuration to various Kubernetes resources and can't easily fit it in annotations.

i don't know that i would actually recommend Helm for much though, since dealing with templates beyond a basic "sub string into field" use case is pain and misery. once you start dealing with named helper templates that operate at different scopes and all but the simplest control flow, the lack of tooling makes debugging templates a nightmare. the operator ecosystem has its own problems (i still can't tell what the extra Red Hat stuff beyond kubebuilder is really helping with and can't stand updating it), but having an actual programming language and all the accompanying type checking and testing tools available is a major benefit.

if you don't need something complex, kustomize feels much less breakage-prone than Helm, though its patches aren't as intuitive to write.
Indeed, but i would argue that this is a good indicator that you have room for improvement here. Which i found to be amazing news.

For example, depression is often characterized by black and white thinking and getting tunnel vision. You become so focused on the worst things you can come up with being true that you loose sight of your perspective being incomplete and the stress makes it harder and harder to snap out. Which results in either incomplete or erroneous conclusions you still hold with conviction. After all, you know X to be true and as a result that you are doomed to experience Y. So unless you are the only human not functioning this way, you have good chances of changing your experience without resorting to supression.

I think the difference in dealing with these patterns manifesting comes from insight. You can try to suppress that initial bad insight temporarily or you can come to terms what is happening to you and how much you should care about what at which time. A lot easier said then done sure, but going full suppression seems like really bad advice. Be it through distraction or a bottle, you sooner or later will be confronted with a distorted self image again.

At that point you are getting countermeasures for distortions and unrealistic expectations. You might get used to them, but they were just distortions. Getting used to them might have not been a good idea. Even if you reduce suffering, you are establishing a new higher normal.

I get that this sounds a lot like Freud, but i am looking at this more from a human error perspective. Its not much different from cognitive biases, its part of how the mind comes to erroneous / incomplete conclusions and how these can create negative feedback loops. Making the first step suppression instead of introspection seems really counterproductive. You are kind of stuck with your brain and might as well optimize some. Some agency is achievable and it often doesnt need to be hard. No sense in being sad about your brain being buggy. Brains just are.
> the deep learning approach uncovers all kinds of hidden features and relationships automatically that a team of humans might miss

sitting in a lecture from a decent DeepLearning practitioner, there were two questions from the audience (among others). The first question asked "How can we check the results using other models, so that computers will catch the errors that humans miss?"

The second question was more like "when a model is built across a non-trivial input space, the features and classes that come out are one set of possibilities, but there are many more possibilities. How can we discover more about the model that is built, knowing that there are inherent epistemological conflicts in any model?"

I also thought it was interesting that the two questioners were from large but very different demographic groups, and at different stages of learning and practice (the second question was from a senior coder).
In the second case, you can hold the people who "cook[ed] the books to get FDA approval ... while knowing the side effects" responsible. In the first you cannot.
