One thing that I feel is probably not being thoroughly considered is that, given that this will likely be a credit/debit card transaction, just how many fraudulent card charges will be rung through this system, and how this will likely result in Twitter/X being banned by Visa and the other payment processors.

One of the many reasons that almost NO ONE accepts less than $2-3 on the internet for things is that if you receive a chargeback from the bank due to fraud, there is a $20-$100 FEE that is applied to your account (in addition to the transaction being reversed), and if you get too many of these (both by percentage of transaction count and dollar volume) you will be banned from the payment processor.

With the proposed $1/yr fee, it would be trivial to pay a few hundred dollars on a shady website for stolen credit card numbers, ring up huge numbers of $1 charges, and induce tens of thousands of dollars of damage while harming X's relationship with their payment provider.
I think this is extremely regional - it's not true in the Grand Rapids, MI metro area (here we have to fight to get people to zipper merge at the lane closure instead of backing up 5 miles down the expressway in one lane because they heard it was closed...)

But having driven in Chicago and San Francisco, it's quite different in some places. Probably needs local differences in policy and application.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone with the opinion that simplifying the tax code is bad. You must be reading a different internet than me.

I guess not really because this is more of a sci-fi possibility for now, but then, sci-fi writers explored this topic, so I’d recommend starting with Dune, Culture, dreams of electric sheep etc. ;)
Accidents happen all the time for any number of products. As was linked earlier over 700 people die every year in the US from being tangled in their bed sheets. Banning something because its involved in an accident is rarely the correct move. Was it 'involved in' or was it the 'contributing cause of' are very different things.

That doesn't make it a non-shit ISP, though. And, honestly, there isn't a commercial VPN provider that I trust at all. Most of them are extremely questionable. I'm certain some aren't, and perhaps Mullvad is one of those, but it's impossible for me to know one way or another so I avoid them all.

Huh, I wonder if it was intentional to leave it ambiguous. I have recently (3-4 years ago) gone through vaguely similar conversations about various characters in the Wheel of Time, albeit those conversations were generally a lot more acrimonious. Overall, I just think it's weird how people get so hung up on ethnicity specifically. I understand it if someone's got a sore spot about not being historically represented in the culture they live in, fair play, but some people get really involved in it with no such concern. About the Wheel of Time, there were some people saying that they couldn't watch the show because some of the cast didn't match their headcanon in terms of appearance, and it's just like... if the obsession is that bad, maybe you should reframe this as "I can't deal with adaptations" rather than targeting it at the cast specifically.

Anyway, sorry for getting sidetracked. I just can't stop thinking about Wheel of Time since the second season finished, what an incredible series of television. I haven't felt this way about a TV show since early Game of Thrones.

Infiniband is basically a nVidia monopoly since they bought Mellanox, and the hyperscalers who already chafe at nVidia's GPU pricing power don't like it one bit, which is why they are working so hard on getting rid of it.

I don't understand enough about niche high-performance interconnects to know if CXL is a viable alternative for Infiniband where Ethernet-based solutions have too much latency.

Yup, web browsers are the answer.

All the VB-style development and developers moved to the web, but the web's layout paradigm is fundamentally reflowing-resizeable-document-based, not the drawable, draggable absolute positioning of dialog box controls.

Not to mention the fact that code was now split into three languages on the front end and one or two on the back end. You can't just write code to respond to a button click to read from the database, because now you need an API and authentication and all that...

> If you can't get them interested for selfish reasons, you can force them to switch by going after the pollution issue at a state and local level. Get cities and neighborhoods to ban 2-stroke engines in their communities and contracts. It will be popular with constituents, and landscapers will pass the slight capex cost increase in contract terms. This will force professionals to switch from Stihl to your partner toolmaker, with large investments in tools and especially batteries. This should drive sales in the rest of your partner's tooling ecosystem from an unsaturated group, something you should highlight during that royalty negotiations with your partner.

While I agree that two stroke equipment has a lot of downside, I really can’t get behind the idea that it is acceptable for an interested party to lobby to legally ban their competitor’s products as a sales strategy. This feels like ethics free capitalism exploiting nimbys to force small business money into a large corporation.

bot activity is far far far far worse than it was before Elon bought Twitter and fired loads of people, and much of the spam and most of the abuse I see comes from people who already paid for Twitter Blue! whatever the reason for this dumb idea is, it isn't to actually reduce the amount of bot crap on the platform.

Yeah I guess so. Though it's something I'm not familiar with. And the Flipper was something I had at home already. To be fair until then I couldn't find any use for it.

In my opinion the whole appeal of the Flipper is that it bundles a bunch of radio gadgets and makes them easy to use and accessible. Are there better tools for each job? Definitely! But I presume setting up an SDR would have involved a fair bit more research and work. On the Flipper it took five minutes of trying out the different modes.
People chronically addicted to the internet tend to be depressed. This is a anecdote though but I get it.
Namespacing was mentioned by another comment, but I do something like this:

libname_module_function();

So for my bc [1], I do this:

bc_parse_if(...);

That parses an `if` statement.

For destructors, I want them to be passed and stored as first-class entities, so I defined them like this:

typedef void (*BcDestructor)(void* item);

Then things like my resizable arrays store the destructor for the items in the array, and when items are removed (popped, whatever), the destructor is run on the item if the destructor is not NULL.

Works like a charm.

Edit: There is one danger to the destructors: you can pass the wrong type of pointer. But if this happens, you'll probably get a lot of Valgrind errors and a spectacular crash.

Chauvin was obviously in the wrong from pretty much every angle, but the chances of the a person actually dying under those circumstances are actually fairly small. If it was an intentional pre-meditated murder then it was either an incredibly piss-poor plan or some 4D chess master move.

People have done this with an old Kinect. It works okay, but most people say it's not good enough to use regularly.
Apple's primary revenue growth and stickiness is in controlling everything you can do with their hardware, and taking a cut of every transaction. If it ran macOS it could run any code the user wanted and there'd be no way to guarantee a 30% cut of every movie, game, song, or experience you have on it.

Well, I'm in that camp.

I've come to believe in the past 3 years that Tesla become a kind of investor fraud - promising impossible things and not delivering them, but getting the benefit of doubt since they did achieve incredible things in the early years.

I don't doubt that Cybertruck will see the streets - the same way Tesla Semi. Which one year after the official deliveries, is still an absolute mystery - no information whatsoever about it's real range, weight nor price. Kind of strange to me for a product that was supposedly released 11 months ago !

I've just checked the Cybertruck order page on https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck - still no price, still advertising that it's built with 'a nearly impenetrable exoskeleton' - which I believe the Release Candidates seen on the streets are not...
Crypto trash
Yes.

But at the end of the day, this is a hobby, and Unity is an awesome engine to work with. I'm following Godot more closely than ever, but too much effort to still be able to call it fun would be necessary to port this over.
Issue opened 3 hours ago, thread posted 2 hours ago. I look at Brave with skepticism as one should with a company that flirts with crypto, but in giving them a fair shake, it's important to keep the facts straight. That said, in keeping the facts straight, an issue opened a week ago citing this as a problem was closed in favor of the one opened by the Brave VP.
The issue is 23andMe is a honey pot. Thats fundamentally whats at play here.
This is a pedantic comment, but the terminology is confusing. Games have "players" so their sync systems are called "multiplayer," but regular software has "users" so their sync systems should be called "multiuser." The page reads strangely mixing the terms "user" with "multiplayer."
If you don't mind me sharing my opinion. I think that a union is just an entity that represents the workers. And not all unions of all trades have to work the same way. I think we should encourage entrepreneurship. But I also don't want the entire industry to keep on disregarding and overhiring (I see it as gambling on the economy with people) and then mass layoff workers. I'm not the best if tasked with such a question, I just do coding, I feel there must be a middle ground, and that's why I'm here :D What makes you less optimistic about it?

Western banks. You keep thinking all banks are western banks.

> The truck will be a new market, particularly in the US where trucks are so prevalent.

I have my doubts about how successful electric trucks are going to be in the short term. The US is in the grips of an intense culture war and eco-anything is part of it. Hell, there are truck owners here that deliberately make their trucks less environmentally friendly just to "own the libs".

Truck enthusiasts despise electric vehicles and environmentalists recognize that no amount of marketing will make an 8,000 pound truck "green".

For privacy I trust mullvad more than my ISP and I think they have the track record to back it up. If your ISP is shit in other ways then a VPN does not help of course.

All a VPN does is either move a bit of trust to the VPN or move your apparent IP to another ASN/location. The first of those can be helpful for dealing with some ISPs,

Ya, and if it turns out to be good you can always buy out the lease right?
As soon as they launch this it will immediately become a stolen card test bed until the cc company closes the loophole. It makes perfect sense but nobody can explain that to the musk because they will get sacked

It is what is making it economically viable to develop this energy source. If the blockchain is a waste of energy as you say, then when it becomes worthless the infrastructure will exist to produce this energy and use it for other purposes such as PC gaming and ironing shirts. Without it though this energy source wouldn't exist, so why not let the dumb people get duped into paying to produce renewable infrastructure? And if it turns out it's not a waste of energy and you're wrong, all is still well. It's a win win.
Simon I really enjoyed reading this blog from you a few months ago. Thanks for writing it, it really helped me understand prompt injection during the earlier days of people slapping together GPT wrappers.
It makes relying on "shell scripts" much easier. Almost entirely gets rid of explicit whitespace handling in variables. Has proper types, so doing some math is safer. Has built-in dictionary / array / tree value support. Has better error handling.

In practice that means gluing together many tools, especially json/yaml/network-related is easier and you have better safety around it all. You can have proper, reusable functions too.

Each script I rewrote from bash to nushell that basically strings together many AWS calls is ~2-3x shorter now and more readable.
Yes, Volley was a nice project because one of the dev team has one at home, so we got ultra detailed assets. It was also a great use case to test Visual Scripting.

That's a misuse of those terms. If you're presented with a switch that's in the the on position you don't switch it off, it's arguable that you've opted to leave it on. If you never realized the switch existed it would definitely be incorrect to say that you've opted to leave it off, since you can't make decisions about things you don't know exist. Yet, both cases would appear the same if all you know is which users had an opt-out setting in the in position.

I'm sure they'll eventually produce the thing, but
1) will it actually be worth a damn? (radical new designs tend to have radical new problems)
2) will it sell in the numbers predicted? (focus groups loved the Pontiac Aztec, and I'd bet the majority of people who put down a whopping $100 for a preorder don't actually end up buying a truck)
Oh, cute. It looks like they ever-so-slightly overweight the probability of values whose mantissa is entirely zeroes though. For example, the probability of hitting exactly 0.5 should be 2^-54 + 2^-55, whereas zig looks to give it 2^-54 + 2^-54.
If used on a vaccum tube based hardware, would that be short hand for redirect all tty vaccum relays to point to /dev/null, turn off all vaccum tube relays, or reset rotary relays to start position.
They increased prices when production was low and then covid hit, and later supply chain cost inflation.

The biggest driver behind price decreases this year has to be the super high interest rates on car loans, making financing expensive for consumers. Given that, 17.8% margins isn't too bad.

You can eat a lot of tasty food without eating a ton of calories. Most calories are from excess of fats( like a ton of oil when a teaspon is sufficient, eating too many too sugary cakes that usually also have high fat content).

First is irrelevant to whether the product is good, I don't care about purity tests.

The rest of the list, minus the end, is them trying to make money without selling data. That actually makes me more confident about their belief in their stated values. Last one is an "accidental" oversight, probably to boost install numbers. They decided to change it without backlash first. Again, good move.
But picking them manually does not emit insane amounts of air and noise pollution which is most of the "fun". What's the point of doing anything if it doesn't hurt anyone? Kind of like motorcycles.
120V just affects the charging time of a battery, not the output of an electric motor. Presumably you would not be tethered to an outlet while operating a blower.
