This whole thing reads like it's trying very hard to present itself like it's discrediting Andreessen's ideas, but it feels like it's going after the man himself for one reason or another. This is thanks in no small part to the article being punctuated with how rich and white he is and how few problems he has -- generally how much you should hate him, as a person, overall -- in between swear-laden paragraphs vaguely detailing that his entire thesis is wrong because of individual circumstances.

It's an unfocused rant pretending to be a refutation.
I'm baffled by that behavior with Firefox. After switching back to Firefox when I gave up on Edge, it took a lot of futzing around with plugins to mostly replicate what Edge/Chrome can do natively. I don't understand why Mozilla is trying to do it the way they are.
I have no love for Andreessen. I haven’t read his manifesto, but In interviews I’ve listened to he comes off as extremely self-serving and not particularly impressive.

That being said, this piece is terrible.

Do you mean this Church you can clearly see still standing in the photo? https://nitter.net/Osinttechnical/status/1715361491006747073

So you believed a Church was bombed today when in fact it was a building next to it and Church is fine. What does that tell you about sources you use for news?

There are missile barrages incoming from Gaza daily, civilians dont shoot rockets. Civilian buildings dont experience secondary explosions when collapsing.

> enabled by having a somewhat functioning democracy, courts, cops, civic culture

Grab the popcorn for ten years until US divorces. States don't get along anymore, and Feds are out of control.

Democracy - when do I get to vote on the current two war fronts?

Courts - long history of corruption, particularly against minorities. No lawyer in local courts and you lose. Feds have ridiculous rate of plea bargains.

Cops - and govts have broad immunity against lawsuits to hold them accountable. Defund the FBI was relevant for the last five decades, and they keep spying on Americans because we allow it.

Culture - free to choose what you ingest.

I would recommend Streets of Rogue from the indie sphere. It doesn't have vents you can crawl through but you can poison the ventilation system, bribe the police, hack security robots, hire people as bodyguard or to cause a ruckus. Surprisng amount of options for a top down roguelike.
There is a very disturbing tendency for the wealthy and powerful to believe that they have some sort of superiority over others (after all, the argument essentially goes, if they weren't better, smarter, etc., then they wouldn't be rich and powerful).

That tendency has always been there, and the notion has always been ridiculous. It's up to the rest of us to make sure that we don't buy into that delusion as well.
The onus is on you to argue why, in the case of piracy, breaking the law is moral. With feeding the homeless etc the argument is clear.

I appreciate your perspective. Perhaps I should have said "few" instead of "many" and "parts" instead of "systems". But it does sound like your overall impression of backup and restorative capacity differs from what I gathered in that interview.

He did say damaged HV transformers would be a big deal and repairs would take weeks, but maybe that was an optimistic take. Talking about solar storms and grid damage, the range of possibilities is very large, depending on the storm's intensity and where it hits.

Yeah I've had the same experience. I tried to go all-in on automated containers. I curated long regex lists to make sure things grouped the way I wanted. Ultimately it just didn't really work. The major problems I hit were:

- Complex cloud services with many domains. Microsoft Office 365 uses such a bewildering collection of domains... I wound up just doing all MSFT stuff in edge. Google has similar issues.

- explicit rules are too brittle. I wish it could dynamically recommend a tab family to use based on content or similar.

- hard to manage. I wound up with dozens and dozens of temp container that buried my persistent, named containers. That made me rely more on the filtering rules, which required a lot of maintenance and tweaking.

At least on paper they are net-negative. If you look at a Schedule H of IRS Form 990 they report huge shortfalls from Medicare/Medicaid. This I think helps them claim "community benefit expense".

I meant overall tax rate for someone based in California...

You are making some case that because California doesn't treat long term capital gains differently that it doesn't make much difference if you were taxed from realizing LTCG or ordinary income in California and your overall tax burden (federal + state) would be about the same.

I'm just pointing out if you're retired, you would naturally have a much lower tax burden if you realized LTCG vs $100k in ordinary income because the federal tax rate for LTCG would be so low for someone with no other income.

> But the pattern matching basically still has to deal with that outcome, and have a pattern for each error type.

Not so! In Rust:

enum FileError {
FileNotFound,
FileExplodedWhileOpening,
}

impl Display for FileError { ... } // say how to print the errors

// Result is defined in the standard library.
// It's used to store results that may be successful, or may be an error:
enum Result<Success, Error> {
Ok(Success),
Err(Error),
}

fn read_file(path: Path) -> Result<File, FileError> {
...
}

fn main() {
match read_file("kittens.png") {
Ok(file) => // show kittens on screen
Err(err) => println!("Could not show kittens :-( \n{}", err),

}
}
Nope. Purple urchins eat kelp. There's no practical way to clear them out of large areas.
A couple notes:

1. For blur, rather than the ARM approach, these days I recommend just going with the Jimenez blur filter [0]. It's basically the same thing, but with smarter choice of weights, and the quality is better. You could also do the full scatter-as-gather DoF I suppose, but I think that's going to be too expensive without compute.

2. FXAA could be described simply as "detect edges, use blurred version at edges", but the key is that it's picking a direction based on the edge detection, and then samples a few points on that line to blur together. Basically, it's trying to carefully blend over the edge, rather than just blur everything together. That's the secret sauce behind FXAA, tbh, and why your isotropic blurred image doesn't quite cut the mustard.

It feels like the blog is trying to force a more significant connection here than there actually is. Many movies involve doing/using things "improperly" to intelligently get an advantage because it's novel and keeps people entertained. It would be really cool to see a movie that fleshed out some strategic dynamics of urban combat of busting through walls etc, but it feels like accessing less-used mechanical spaces isn't that. Elevator shafts, ventilation ducts, and the outsides of highrise buildings are pretty common tropes.

My point is that the source press release was never a piece of software. It was always guidelines for humans to interpret.
It's worth noting for graphical performance with QEMU... guests can be pretty nice with 'virtio' and 'Spice' :)

For simpler needs (ie: mostly 2D, very minimal 3D) it's great. I use this mostly for isolated browsing environments and am very pleased.

I believe this works with both Windows and Linux guests, though drivers are more annoying where you'd expect.
Religion gives you a set of things to believe in, a community, and maybe some transcendent experiences. You can still choose to believe whatever you want though even without religion, and there are many other sources of community and transcendent experiences out there.

Religion wraps it all up in a nice package, and plenty of folks do still choose religion and reap plenty of benefits from it, but there are other options out there.
I'd say so. The community always find a way and $300 is pretty reasonable given raybans are typically like $200 themselves.
Depending on how the payment is made, that $1 could be worth quite a bit more in personal information and forgotten recurring subscriptions. Get enough people on board and then increase the price, like Netflix et alia are doing. Which is fair, mind you; these entertainments cost money (seriously), and CEOs need their competitive compensation (I'm less serious here, more grumpy).

Twitter seems like a joke at this point with Elon Musk as the owner. I have zero regrets canceling my account four years ago.
How can anyone read things like what Marc or this author wrote and still believe diversity is good, or any any way a strength? Hegemony is clearly superior. Rather than wasting time legislating the foundations of a society with participants who hate you, in a hegemony you can simply build.
I don’t think 50% or greater is a good standard for defining what we would consider to be a major problem with scientific fraud. I’m sure you’re well aware that “major” can refer to relative impact depending on the context of the issue being discussed. In the case of scientific publishing, I would argue that even 5% fraud rate would be grounds for labeling this as a major problem.

That said, this issue has received a lot of attention in recent years. Some articles try to put a positive spin on it but the stark truth of where we are today is that there are no standards enforced requiring data publishing (“available on request” doesn’t cut it) and reproducibility. This, combined with the amount of money in this industry and the impact that it has on public policy is an acceptable situation.

Some good coverage:

(This one puts a positive spin on the editorial process but the fact remains that there is a massive flood of fraudulent papers being published. Going back to standards of open data plus verified reproducibility would go a long way to mitigate this problem.
You reminded me of Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I recently finished the original anime series and your comment pretty much described the relationship between the two protagonists (as I understand it at least). If you haven't seen it and can stomach old and kinda worn out visuals there's a really good and inspiring story there, I can't recommend it enough.

Once again proven that mass transit does not have a problem of price, but a problem of reach and reliableness, or in other words water is wet... (Except Switzerland, transport there is pretty expensive, but imo it's bc car lobby in the gov trying to underfund trains and overfund highways)

If you want ppl to use mass transit, provide fast & frequent transport in all the country. This means more units, dedicated lanes, priority on semaphores, easy methods to pay, more trains.

When mass transit is so frequent and easy to use you don't need to plan ahead when to leave your house- that's the moment more ppl will use it.
One nice addition will be dedicated buses for children going to school to demotivate parents buying a car just bc of kids

Barring impossible regulatory barriers, which isn't really a problem for smartphones, options appear when consumer sentiment is there. In fact, at one time smartphones didn't exist at all. They emerged as a viable product because the consumer saw value in them. Someone will try to build a repairable smartphone as soon as they believe that is what consumers want, and if they got that notion right, it will become the dominate smartphone and everyone else will quickly follow suit to maintain their own profitability.

But so long as people don't truly value repairable smartphones (see the other comment about someone wanting a repairable smartphone for practically free – that's not valuing something), there is no realistic avenue for someone to create a repairable one, just as there would have been no realistic avenue to creating smartphones in the first place if the consumer did not see value in them.
The static issue also permeates to webpages and other formats though. Although this is now just yet another competing method for documentation or creation, the restrictions caused by using TeX or LaTeX over more dynamic approaches are not insignificant.
That's fine for hardware issues, which really wouldn't require the personal drive at all to fix. The issue arises for when a software-related issue occurs and the person who could do what you just described could probably also fix it themselves.
... but if they do ask the question and then despise you for your answer, isn't it best to surface that during the interview rather than after you've made a commitment to spend 8 hours a day with those people?
That's a great way to look at it as well.

His answer would show if he has an appropriately nuanced view of the world or is lulled into cliched thought patterns.
You've never run into a query planner that suddenly changes its mind once your tables grow.

Try using row level security in postgres - it's awfully slow and you need to be a master architect and sql developer to make it run fast because it's too dumb on its own. With query planner hints I could at least guide it. Shame pg doesn't believe in that.
> Is it so much to ask for professionalism from law enforcement? "We beat your team" is not enough to warrant violating anyones rights - it's not even that impolite in general.

No it's not too much to ask, and we should not only ask but demand professionalism from them.

And please re-read the very first part of my comment, because I never said anything remotely close to it being "enough to warrant violating anyones rights" (in fact I said the opposite, that the arrest was BS).

Now, requiring cops to be superhuman and completely immune to having any emotions affect their highly subjective judgment, is never going to work. At least not until we replace the humans with AI. Humans are not capable of completely rational thought, in fact we're almost entirely the opposite: we make decisions emotionally, and then justify them rationally. Asking a cop to cease being human is a recipe for failure and goes against what we know about neuroscience.

About the "we beat your team" not even being impolite, firstly if you watch the video, that was not the only thing he said, but also do you not see what that was about? Keep in mind this is a college football player talking to a person who previously played college football. It was standard jock high-school bullshit from a tribal person to another tribal person (he plays football, and he's extensively inquiring about the cops football past during this). It was an attempt to belittle the cop, and it's the type of petty behavior I expect from children. You can't just take the one line and strip it from all of its context and evaluate it independently. At least you can't do that if you actually want to understand how and why it was said and evaluate the situation.

Disclaimer since people seem incapable of non-binary thinking: None of this excuses the cops behavior
I disagree with both points. I do not think Amazon stock liquidity could absorb 185 billion in stock sales.

Elon sold about $23 billion in Tesla stock from April 2022 to December 2022 to buy Twitter and my memory was the stock going from about $400 to $100 that year. Of course there are other factors in the decline but it’s certainly a component of it. Bezos would need to sell almost 10x that much.
That is the accuracy of the non-finetuned model i.e. mpt-7b. Once finetuned, it can get around 30% accuracy on 0-shot. Not sure what 8-shot performance is for the finetuned model. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06927.pdf
A gentle disagreement here, Deus Ex Mankind Divided, the latest one though a few years old dramatically harkens back in terms of level design.

Almost all the areas have Nakatomi spaces but it is entirely possible to never use them. Likewise one can use them almost exclusively.

Unlike Human Rebolution where these spaces are occasional treats sprinkled out by the devs, they are more properly "worked in" in Mankind Divided.
Do you remember the time when Ars Technica didn't only publish reposts from the Verge, Logitech press-releases, and covid articles but actually posted hands-on technical and sysadmin tutorials (like the original of this switch from many years ago), and did hands-on reviews instead of generating it with a template?

Pepperidge farm remembers (but only very vaguely, it was a long time ago).
None of that sounds worse than commercial offerings in the space.

As an older person myself, I have come to think that it's more nuanced than that. There does come an age where we've largely settled on our worldviews, but I think that age is around the late 20s/early 30s, not the 50s.

But even then, people can and do alter their opinions as they learn and experience things. It just takes more for that to happen. That's as true of a 60 year old as a 30 year old.

I think it's a natural, explicable, and even good thing.
As an end user, how can I monitor if I’m being MITM’d? If everything I do is proxied through an attacker’s network, nothing I do online could be trusted to properly test if I were being proxied, right? I know apps can do cert pinning, but as an end user how can I validate that when connect to anything that it’s the real one and not a request from being middled?
Could you elaborate on that? I use Redis with RedisJSON and RedisInsight but think about it around 3-4 times a year, so I'm out of the loop.

Yep, I did this. Rented a U-Haul 3 times over 3 weekends. Wasn't cheap, AND tiring. I moved most of my own stuff, and it cost me close to $600 for everything, including the U-Hauls, the Uber rides to/from U-Haul, etc. And then another $400 for a couple guys to move a couple furniture items I couldn't move on my own.

Indeed, a CT monitor which sends alerts about legitimate certificates is almost useless due to noise. My service, Cert Spotter, provides an API endpoint[1] which you can upload your CSRs to, so you don't get alerted about certificates using the same key as the CSR. The open source version of Cert Spotter can invoke a script[2] when a certificate is discovered, and the script can cross reference against a list of legitimate certs.
