the market exists, there's many motivated individuals who'd like to see it served and willing to work for minimal material compensation to make it happen.

The problem had been that the entrenched interests own the Law and use it eagerly to ensure their monopoly. I'm still mystified by Paypal being allowed to exist, early on, while all its competitors were squashed, usually by legal actions. The rise of the "wildcat bank" crypto-cons even more so.

So perhaps it's possible now. Maybe Etherium or Bitcoin is that network. I think the banks and "traditional economy" are going to have to be forced into cooperation with whatever such a thing might be against their will.
If we don't want to use Apple any longer, then I'm afraid we have to manually recreate create and register new passkeys for every service we use... At least, that's my understanding. I hope they fix this with a "portability" solution.
The problem is that implementing solutions, especially multiple solutions, requires a functioning civilization with reasonable amount of international cooperation and capacity for compromise. But our civilization is set up such that these mechanisms only work so long as there is enough growth that the surplus can be spread around, and while its never been spread around very fairly, right now we're in the double whammy of having less and less surplus to spread around (for multiple reasons, but the costs of the climate crisis alone are already a significant part of that) and at the same time the elites are grabbing ever larger portions of that shrinking surplus. The consequence is that global civilization is becoming too dysfunctional to actually implement the "multiple solutions" that are needed with the urgency that's needed. Or maybe it never functioned that well in the first place, but with each passing day and each additional crisis that goal is moving further into an unattainable future.
I recently switch ISP and the new ISP gives you an IPv6 address and have their router just hand out IPv6 addresses on your LAN as well. It generally works really really well. The only weirdness I've seen is in Firefox when using DoH and IPv6. Sites like Google or Wikipedia just worked, while others simply doesn't and because it's DoH in the browser, you can't actually debug the issue all that well. I believe it may be tied to the combination of a specific DoH service and my ISP, but I haven't tested it fully yet.

Why would you want to use NAT with IPv6 though?
I don’t know about Europe at a whole, but there are examples of unions also employing step 1). Like, announce a strike and then beat up or even murder people working anyway.

Also many unions did what business owners had done for centuries and went into politics. The social Democratic party in Sweden for example, is a part of the largest labour union. This is somewhat controversial in some circles, for sure, but changes the power dynamic for steps 2 and 3 a lot.
I'm not seeing sources that try to separate "real" cases from "false" cases in that section. Both types are included in that 70 percent figure.

Multiple videos of that sort of thing happening came out. Tesla driving threw high water. Musk commented something that for a short period they could float but in general they said this wasn't a supported features and don't do it.

Then for the Cybertruck Musk said it should actually be able to float. But it was said as 'we are shorting for this' not 'this is a feature count on this'. As it stands this would void warranty.

Tesla certainty not ever suggested that they could turn into boats in emergency situations.
"Don't recommend this channel" flat out stopped working for me a couple weeks ago but I used to use it all the time.

Minecraft. Next question
Yes, his rants about the PMC a while ago were near inscrutable (not that I think PMC is an inscrutable/useless category), but after reading a lot of it, seemed to expose him as someone prone to self-serving delusions. I think there are interesting conversations to be had about elite cultural and academic production, as a side-channel to traditional control by capital. However, I don't think I'm being too uncharitable when I say that he was primarily frustrated at his own perception that he was being held back from his ubermensch pretensions.

They aren't "general" enough. Sure they're competent at solving problems represented in the training data, and can even in some cases abstract over them and find patterns. But they don't have "slow thought". They can't think without talking, and they can only talk like a human, and humans don't habitually narrate their train of thought, so there's a limit to how far "let's think step by step" can take them. The result is that they can't abstract recursively - since they are architecturally incapable of "thinking harder" about a problem, there will always be some threshold of input novelty that loses them, and right now that threshold is actually unimpressively low when you get down to brass tacks.
Those 3 wheeler's are considered motorcycles. They're also death traps.

Those onerous federal regulations keep 10s of thousands of people from dying and probably 2-3x that from being seriously injured or permanently disabled. They are a good thing.

I have no illusions about the challenges this endeavor presents

I'm not convinced this is true.

Visa and Mastercard have a virtual monopoly on payments. Almost any and every store in the world has the ability to instantly process a payment through Visa and Mastercard networks.

Competing with this from ground zero requires massive amounts of time and money. Jeff Bezos type money.

Speaking of which, Amazon has been trying to crack this market for years without too much success.

I haven't actually got around to finishing it, but I've been enjoying 86: Eighty Six which is more grim military mecha stuff. Not particularly grounded but is definitely about certain real-world themes.

Last time I visited because I needed a replacement mouse immediately, most of the floorspace was dedicated to TVs and sound systems, the next biggest section was smart home / IoT stuff, next biggest was computers which was mostly chromebooks and those terrible $400 windows laptoos, and a couple aisles for video games. There was one rack of blu-rays in a section of the store that felt like you had wandered into an employee-only area.

I also tried to get a new surge protector in the same visit and they only had 2 choices in-store, both of them were over $50 for no obvious benefit over a $15 one from target.

drivers are a black box, yes, but in this case, the driver is trying to get the game to act in a certain specific way, and it needs to either have these calls added to the game engine, or it needs to inject itself and rewrite the game code (detouring) dynamically at runtime.

reflex and antilag basically work by flipping the vsync model around. instead of "render a frame -> wait for the monitor to be ready to draw", it's "wait -> render". And by dynamically adjusting the wait time, you can have the frame ready at the last possible moment before the monitor is ready. This means game state is $WAIT_TIME milliseconds fresher, and you've reduced latency by that amount.

well, that means you have to have some method to control when the game starts doing the game loop. So you have to be inside the engine somehow - either you have a WAIT_FOR_REFLEX() in the code, or you grab control of the frame queue and don't return control until you're ready, and you just block until the right moment.

AMD injected that part.
It amounts to waiting until just before vsync to start rendering a frame CPU side, in the hope that the frame is fresher than what you would get from a scattergun ‘mailbox’ approach aka vsync disabled

It should theoretically be possible to get the tear-free smoothness of vsync combined with even lower latency than vsync disabled, but in reality is it is difficult to predict how long a frame will take to render

It’s not clear how they solved this, or why it required hooking into games more than graphics drivers already do
Have... have you ever seen Goatse? (If you haven't, please don't look it up just for sake of this and take my word for it)

It's the reference example for what a "shock image" is. How in the blazes is the choice of that particular image over practically anything else based on anything but its capacity at causing distress?

The blog post both acknowledges it as such, and even says "Let this be a lesson to you", making it clear that its use is specifically meant to be go beyond stopping people and actively punish them. And even if it weren't for that straight up confession, it'd STILL be patently obvious that this is what they are doing. We are in clear-cut "shotgun booby trap" territory here. As others have pointed out, there are subtleties at play over who is ultimately responsible, but the author's intent to cause distress is not in question in any way shape or form.

As much as it's fun to see vigilante retribution like this (and boy is it!), that does not discount the obvious legal exposure at play.
> swipes at the author's competency or intent ("worthless", "complete nonsense", "totally illogical"),

These remarks are directed at specific problems wit the code. Linus did not call the author worthless, nonsensical or illogical. In engineering, conflating criticism of your work with personal criticism of yourself is a sin.

marketing around half-baked features that get you VAC banned is not really ideal, no. kinda gives the impression that the marketing was given more focus than the product.

it's also a very rookie mistake, like, you have to think it's either someone brand new they hired in, or someone more experienced really dropped the ball on devrel/etc. This is a situation where they absolutely should have known that they should talk to the gamedevs in advance.

Almost certainly there are multiple problems here.

I can imagine a scenario where debris or running over a curb damaged the undercarriage in a way that would allow water to enter the battery compartment if the lower part of the car was submerged (say, going over a somewhat deep puddle in the road).

There are enough Teslas out there that if 'rain' damaged the battery, we'd see tens of thousands of these issues constantly happening. I'm not saying Tesla isn't at fault, or there isn't a design issue, but it's probably some edge case.
> In heavy rain, can the various drainage paths on the exterior be overwhelmed (especially if there are some leaf litter and/or spiderwebs in the wrong spots)

My mom's Chevrolet Kalos got so bad in autumn that plants started sprouting out of the built-up fallen leaves under the hood. This was an actively used car driven almost daily.

After that I started manually clearing those areas after washing the car. The amount of leaves you'd get out of a tiny little area shocked me every time. No way so much crap could fit in there and yet it did. Very easy to forget just how hollow areas under the bodywork are in a car.
A similar incident occurred last year when a Canadian Tesla owner was told it would cost $26,000 to get a replacement battery for his vehicle.
IRS to offer a new option to file your tax return
It's honestly the best place to buy electronics at this point if you don't have a Microcenter nearby. I buy all my laptops and TVs there now. Once upon a time, retail was the more expensive option, as they marked up prices and couldn't compete with the low overhead of online sellers. Now that equation has completely flipped, and anything sold online will rapidly inflate in price due to dropshippers and scalpers. The only way to get a fair deal anymore is brick and mortar, and they often have (real) discounts and 0% financing.

> You're in your mid thirties, and still talking like this.

This constitutes a personal insult (calling him immature for his age), so you aren't walking your talk. In this comment you're going much further than Linus's review being discussed, which doesn't contain any personal insults.

Maybe you think you're giving zelon88 a taste of his medicine like this, but if truly believe that people are obliged to communicate in a corporate-friendly manner you wouldn't be dishing out personal abuse like this to make a point. Overt tit-for-tat abusive communication doesn't fly in a modern psuedo-friendly corporate environment; you have to be more clever about it. In other words, you should lead by example.

> Clearly nobody has ever done it to you!

You really think nobody has ever been curt or even rude with zelon88? That beggars belief. Of course he has been on the receiving end of it; everybody has. Don't waste your time with the "you don't know what it's like" argument, nobody is going to believe that. You're wasting your time and undermining yourself with this tit-for-tat approach.
The assumption surveillance stopped after stasi is astonishing.

I believe it never went away and technology simply kept making it more pervasive, more efficient. It didn't suddenly happen in the last ten years or so, it was a continuous progression over decades.

Hopefully technology can also help us defeat it.
Land that’s already been improved would pay less in taxes. Empty lots, parking lots, and other unimproved land would pay more tax. Calling an economic incentive to do something with your empty lot in an urban area “perverse” seems.. extreme.

Automakers and the United Auto Workers union have previously also complained parallel rules proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency are not feasible and should be significantly softened.

I really find it suspicious that at a cost of $10 billion they can't figure out a way to improve their fleets.

I guess they'll just get disrupted by companies that can then.
I clicked on this hoping it would be a deserved indictment of his personal NIMBY views [1] vs public statements. Instead it's basically 3 tweets worth of commentary, and illiterate commentary at that.

> Right now, we're watching what happens when risk management and tech ethics are ignored for the sake of unlimited growth, ... Andreessen would bristle at the comparison — his VC firm famously didn't back FTX — but the philosophical slope nonetheless slips in that direction.

Besides referencing that it's already a slippery slope argument this is completely unrelated to his complaints about.

> 'existential risk', 'sustainability', 'ESG', 'Sustainable Development Goals', 'social responsibility', 'stakeholder capitalism', 'Precautionary Principle', 'trust and safety', 'tech ethics', 'risk management', 'de-growth', 'the limits of growth.'"

Notice how fruad isn't listed there. Andreessen's combining 4 to 5 different things that slow down growth. Which isn't great if you think some of them might be net positives but the author's reading comprehension is comically bad.

It’s an unknown integer, whose value depends on the consistency of ZFC. Let me show you why this is circular.

I can define another integer N which is 1 if there exists a proof of the inconsistency of ZFC and 0 if there doesn’t (note that BB(754) already encodes this information). Then I can define a program that determines the consistency of ZFC thusly: if N=1, I define the program to immediately return false. If N=0, I define the program to immediately return true. Thus, there exists a program that can determine the consistency of ZFC, it’s one of the two programs I’ve defined.

The fact that there exists a program that returns the consistency of ZFC isn’t in question. The trick is proving that a particular program does so. Or if you like, proving that there exists a program along with a proof that it does so. What you’ve defined is an oracle: it depends on already knowing the answer to what you’re asking so it doesn’t have to compute it.

I think judging based on the cover is fine when we're judging what the cover is clearly and intentionally trying to communicate to us about the book within.

The pose, the unbuttoned shirt, the hair, those are all conscious choices to communicate a sleazeball personality that probably plays great with his friend/colleague network.

If we were judging someone from a cultural context that's unfamiliar to us or based on irrelevant characteristics like race or gender that would be incorrect and likely biased. But in this case we're just clearly receiving the message he's trying to communicate with intentionality
I made Visual Back end, a low code Node.js wrapper, open source!
Hey everyone!

I've decided to make Visual Backend open source

It's essentially a low code wrapper around NodeJS, to help you rapidly build APIs by automating boilerplate actions like managing project directory, setting up clients for external services like Firebase, etc. I made this tool after working on many backends and realising that for simple services like internal automations or webhook handlers, I was spending way too much time on basic and repetitive tasks, and so I made Visual Backend to overcome this.

It's my first time making something open source, so I probably made a lot of mistakes. If you have any feedback about the tool, docs, or repo, I'd really appreciate it! Wouldn't mind a contribution too ;) Thank you and I look forward to hearing what you guys have to say!
