We'll see how that goes.

There's some really interesting Youtube drama going on where a literal multimillionaire Twitch streamer/Youtuber doxxed another Youtuber by streaming their actual home while standing on their front yard.

Something that's extremely illegal by Californian law.

But the offending internet-celebrity has a habit of not being affected by any kind of lawsuits because they bring in millions of viewers (34M viewers on Youtube) and are too good for business to actually kick off the platform.
Browsers always send the accept language you configured.

It drives me nuts, most sites are geolocating me instead and serving me Spanish content. My browser is always sending accept language, and it's most often ignored than not, even frommthe big old web players (Google and Wikipedia to name a few)

Nah there's no way they have that many in Finance, but they do have that many when you include 2-3 degrees of separation.

Finance hands some calculation spreadsheet to someone else, who then rolls it up to a department head who then tells another analyst to modify what the previous guy did because head didn't like it and so and and so forth.

The people most likely to never have to work with excel are IC engineers. If you're a manager, you likely have to do budgeting which goes to HR which goes to ... you guessed it - finance.

And you have to remember you're in a business org. If you need to read an excel file once a year, you'll want a license because you're part of Amazon - I mean my god I have to go find a separate computer with an Office license?! No way, just give me a license.
I’d go on some kind of hippy meditation retreat because I think I want to know what that would be like.
I wonder how much the timeframe matters. I feel like a lot of stuff in the US has really gone down the toilet in the last 20 years, so maybe the Postal Inspectors really were badass 50+ years ago.
Well done techcrunch.
Everyone outside San Francisco thinks this is problematic.

But we are banned and censored in a systemic fashion on most social media (Twitter/X being the one, big exception), and labeled “alt right” trolls … or racists, and everyone on the left is ok with censorship being applied upon those views.
I like that it fits tasks around my calendar events to schedule my day. I wish there was an Obsidian plugin to do that.
Teams is a horrible software, but every single aws person I have talked to would love to use it instead of Chime.

Not to mention that most of their most important (enterprise) customers are using it.

It’s nice to be able to casually chat with a customer if you are in a customer facing role. Which is basically the entirety of the aws sales and solution engineering.
IMHO, software documentation has dropped because it's hard to write the documentation when the software isn't finished, and software isn't finished anymore.

Games (and other software) used to come with a large manual, and then a single folded sheet that had quick start instructions and updates to the manual. The large manual had to be finalizes before the disk images, in order to get them made on time... but the software had to be firmed up. Now, it's very common to have a huge day one patch, which could change a tremendous amount of things. You can't print a manual that addresses that, and nobody wants to retain writing staff to do constant updates.

>...It was just $75k. There were no meaningful gains in measures of happiness beyond that magic number.

That was contradicted by later research:

>...But in 2021, Killingsworth, a happiness researcher and senior fellow at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, found that happiness does not plateau after $75,000, and that “experienced well-being” can continue to rise with income well beyond $200,000.

Killingsworth than worked with Kahneman to do a more complete survey:

>...The study reached two big conclusions: First, that “happiness continues to rise with income even in the high range of incomes” for the majority of people, showing that for many of us, on average having more money can make us increasingly happier.

my understanding i’d that the ceo who revived waterstones is now reviving BN.
So that's halfway to generating a useful performance/power curve; just missing measurements on the power axis. Geekbench is a highly variable workload with very different power consumption across its different subtests, so as the power limits are lowered the portion of the test that is affected by the power limits will gradually increase. And it's never safe to assume that the power consumption estimations used for the throttling mechanism are accurately calibrated.

RDMA stands for Remote Direct Memory Access. The version that runs on ethernet is known as RDMA over Converged Ethernet, or RoCE. Until recently, the most common hardware interconnect used to support RDMA was Infiniband. Omnipath existed for a while.

The point is: RDMA is just a term for a computer reading memory on another computer without involving the operating system. The interconnect hardware and physical transport must support RDMA but that doesn't mean it is RDMA, as there are several different implementations of RDMA, and each kind of hardware supports a different subset of those implementations.
I'd recommend starting with "Are you Shpongled" personally.

More than Shpongle missing, I would have expected a sample from Hallucinogen (also Simon Posford's project) which predates Shpongle by a few years, and was at the forefront of the wave of Goa as it spilled over to the western world in its nascent years

How to Get Structured Data Using OpenAI Function Call API in LangChain
> You could say exactly the same thing about property taxes currently. Why could the government not unilaterally declare your property is worth 10x? Because that's not how it works

Right, that's not how it works when the tax is based on the sale prices of the property itself and/or comparable nearby properties. Those are market clearing prices, so it demonstrates actual people were actually willing to pay that price, so it is realistic.

The county can't say your property is worth 10x overnight, because there is proof that it is not, in the form of the public records of comparable sales nearby in the last few months.

But with LVT the claim is that the tax should be based on a theoretical value of what it might be worth if someone build something else there, like a high rise apartment tower. It is speculative, since the building doesn't exist. That's completely unfair.
As someone who worked in quite some no-budget films I think this article has some truth in it.

No matter what your project is, whether it is a fun thing with friends or a big corp, the people organizing it always have to keep in mind that everybody is in it for a reason.

Abondon these reasons for long enough and people will not give you their full potential. Abandon those reasons longer and they will be gone. And you will be left with those who think they can still extract value from you or those who have problems saying "No" — a organization only consisting of these two types is dysfunctional.

As a manager/director/producer you should be aware what the reasons are for your team members and keep track of whether you believe you can honor those reasons.

That principle is diluted in most corps because money is involved. As someone who had to keep teams functional where members worked for free I believe it would be wise for more managers to understand how to do this.

It is better to say: "Bob, I know you are in it for $reason, but I am afraid we will have to do $Y for the next to months. I promise you I will try to make it better for the time after!" than knowing it will be shit for them and saying nothing in the hope that Bob won't notice. He will. And he will remember.

This used to work back in the old days, but more and more sites decides to ignore this a few years ago. The reasoning is that the percentage of users with misconfigured browsers (who don't know how to fix this and also don't know how to click a "change language" button on the website) is bigger than the percentage of users who intentionally use a language that's different from their geolocated one. So the ad-revenue maximizing choice is to ignore the user's configuration.
Wait till you hear abt pneumatic trash systems in estonia/sweeden
The cleanest way would probably be to get rid of 0 as a null pointer constant, make its use in contexts that expect a pointer illegal and replace it with an explicit keyword. Of course that would break all existing code that uses 0 or (void*)0 instead of NULL, but if you are out to break things anyway you might as well get rid of 40 year old warts.
Interesting project. Too bad it doesn't (yet?) support iOS.

That surgeon has undergone several years training, had to go through an exam to be allowed to practice, and is submited to yearly evaluations if they are still allowed to touch that scapel.

I would agree the same for developers, if similar practices would be enforced everywhere instead of having people calling themselves enginners just because they like how the word sounds.

That’s real value, and I don’t mind if it means I buy an extra tool here and there. Especially if I can get some extra refunds.

What this article missed and most reactions also did: one name in the "Patron Saints" section. One name that should give you pause and even alarm over this and should give you a new angle to investigate this bullshit from.

That name is Filippo Tommaso Marinetti.

He was quite in the business of writing Manifestos a hundred years ago. The one he co-authored in 1919 became really (in)famous.

Edit: Vice didn't miss it. https://www.vice.com/en/article/93kg5d/major-tech-investor-c...

> Other futurist thinkers and artists exist. To call Marinetti in particular a "saint" is a choice.
Issue is not dev cost, it's existing ecosystem. To drive a smartwatch ("smart" as in running a smartphone OS giving it 2 days battery life tops)[0], you need a full already existing ecosystem, so either iOS or Google/Android. Only Google can get Google to support RISC-V in Google/Android.

Michael Nielsen and Andy Matuschak wrote Quantum Country (https://quantum.country/), an introduction to quantum mechanics, with integrated spaced repetition questions. Andy develops Orbit (https://withorbit.com/), allowing other authors to do the same.

I agree with Michael that a lot of the value comes from formulating your own questions based on the source material, but I'm also curious to experiment with author provided questions.
I find it curious that in the open source community we emphasize that the software is "free as in speech", yet if someone puts the source behind a paywall suddenly the "free as in beer" point becomes more important, and we argue that it's not _libre_ anymore.

I'm a firm believer in the benefits of the rights granted by F/LOSS, but think that we should normalize paying for both binaries and source code. Monetizing OSS is hard enough, and developers should have more ways of getting paid to write OSS, not less.

Giving the software and source code away _gratis_ can be unsustainable, and introduce perverse incentives that ultimately harm the user.
Well that’s an interesting perspective that you offer.
The authors have this to say about it:

> The issue with the non-standard license for the application stems from problems that arose with NewPipe, an open-source media player. When a video recommended downloading NewPipe, many people mistakenly downloaded a malware-ridden version from the Play Store. This fake version was loaded with ads and sometimes even required payment. The crux of the problem is that people were forking NewPipe, adding ads and trackers, and then asking for money on the Play Store. To prevent this kind of exploitation and deceit, the developers of the application in question opted for a less permissive license. This allows them to retain the right to take action against anyone who forks their application and tries to monetize it through deceptive means. They are committed to an ad-free, non-tracking application and don't want to engage in a business model where the user becomes the product.

From the article: “Mr. Daunt proved his book-selling bona fides as the founder of Daunt Books in London and, more recently, as the executive who rescued Waterstones, Britain’s largest bookstore chain. The hedge fund Elliott Advisors took a majority stake in Waterstones in 2018; the next year it bought Barnes & Noble for $683 million and installed Mr. Daunt, a Cambridge-educated Brit, as its leader. (He is still the managing director of Waterstones; the two chains operate separately.)”
So how will the LLM answer your questions in the future if SO is greatly diminished?

I guess LLMs can learn directly from documentation websites. But there is no human feedback on correct solutions or better ways to do things that SO provides.

"Hardware transport" is kind of a misnomer, because this is a networking protocol. It just happens to be a networking protocol that requires hardware acceleration on the NIC. We already had that in things like Infiniband and Omnipath, but Nvidia bought one and Intel rugpulled the other. Meanwhile ethernet has been approaching parity in terms of throughput, but TCP introduces unpleasant latency, so this is Google's NIH-flavored DIY on the topic. It's something of a rite of passage for a company to convince itself that building this sort of thing in-house is necessary, and that it will revolutionize high-performance computing in all the ways that previous, nearly-identical projects have not.

"The ecosystem" is The Open Compute Project [1], a trade association which mostly puts together quasi-standards that provide targets so computer manufacturers can produce bleeding-edge gear with some hope that it will be interoperable. An example OCP production is the newer 21" racks that are starting to appear in datacenters.

Example, C++/CLI, if certain code patterns are used the code is no longer considered safe from MSIL verifier point of view.

C and C++ targeting WASM, despite all the security message of how great it is, memory locations inside of the same linear memory segment can still be corrupted, thus providing a way to influence the overall execution logic inside of the sandbox.

3D + video (motion)

It's not a 3D model that is animated using a skeleton and keyframes like traditional 3D. It's many consecutive 3D models that create the illusion of continuous motion (aka video).

4D is the name that has come to describe the jump from static 3D models (photogrammetry) to 3D "video" models.
For what it's worth, I hallucinated a hell of a lot on paper when taking 4xx-level math classes as an undergrad. My homework was marked with so many "no"s in red ink... although I got away with some handwaving.
I would say having read the first page - my hot take is:

This is the long form version of Think Different[1] but instead of a mass market "misfit" consumer, the primary target here is a "misfit" consumer that is a ultra high network accredited investor (a.k.a. someone who hasn't talked to a poor person in a while either). Basically a pitch to become a potential A16Z LP and join the "in" club.

[1] Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Yes, I am wrong on a lot of things. I’m not sure I’m unwilling to reconsider them all - but there is a higher barrier to entry for a flat earth discussion because of how I think.

The alternative seems to be to be willing to converse about anything - I have goals and shit to do, I don’t need to deeply consider that maybe the moon landing was faked.

>That's what the spec says, but are there any computers around anymore where nullptr is not zero?

Yeah that's absolutely fair. I actually can't think of a single platform, embedded or otherwise, old or new, where the null pointer is not address 0.
The part that surprised me is that this would be the way things worked on a modern C++ compiler without any special flags. The article is about C++, and using "magic" memory addresses doesn't seem at all what I'd expect to be the default way to handle division by zero.

From the numerous responses here, it's clear that people interpret my question as about how the hardware itself works, which isn't at all what I was asking about; I'm aware of how stuff like this works at the assembly level, but my understanding was that in C and C++, trying to write arbitrarily to "special" addresses like that would be considered undefined behavior (often resulting in segfaults). When I read the comment I responded to above, it surprised me, so I wanted to check whether I understood what was said correctly. It's honestly kind of confusing to me that so many people seem very upset by the idea that a stranger on the internet might have a misconception about how hardware abstractions are exposed via compiled code to the point that they feel the need to explain in detail how hardware works but not actually answer the question I asked.
The large address space and thus the king addresses are an artifact of optimizing the routing.

I think just saving the endless discussions of "my Xbox only got nat type 2, how do I change it?" alone saves more lifetimes than are lost by c&p adresses (not to speak of the large infrastructure costs of maintaining gcnat at scale).

I had the pleasure of working with the creator Martin Matuška at my first job in Vienna (Austria). As a junior sysadmin it was mindblowing what he could make FreeBSD do.

Back then I was dreaming of a day when ZFS will finally come to Linux without the fuse driver.

He even made an imaging system out of it so we could re-install windows Images from a small FreeBSD partition kind of like FOG does it just without PXE. Pretty smart dude.
