> One justification for this was that it is supposed to make it easier to reason.

It’s a valid justification because it makes it substantially easier to reason compared to mutable multithreaded languages/runtimes such as C(++), Java and C#.

Eg a semaphore in JS doesn’t exist. It’s just a boolean. Interlocked Increment doesn’t exist. It’s just someVar++. And so on, it’s very nice.

That doesn’t mean that there aren’t other setups (such as immutable data with message passing) that are even easier to reason about. Every new tech compares itself to the current mainstream.
> TBF .... I'm not saying Zuck is a saint here, but this is more of an issue with social media being a corrosive force in general... the modern version of big tobacco in a way.

There's nothing "to be fair" about here; it's disgusting no matter how you frame it. Big tobacco did disgusting things to glamorize smoking and hook generations of people on nicotine. The core "issue" you're describing is a bad one: being unable to concede even the smallest sliver of your engagement metrics in the interest of not being a driving force behind children's body dysmorphia. It's just as bad as adding camera filters to let kids see themselves lighting up a Marlboro.
Ok so they claim in the article, 50000 TPU’s is equivalent to 10 exaflop floating point computations. That is equivalent to ~2,512 NVIDIA H100’s, which is like really small. Just shows the difference between TPU’s and GPU’s I guess. Inflection, a new LLM company created a 20,000 H100 cluster, I’m positive OpenAI, Tesla, Meta etc have orchestrated a job on more than 2500 H100 GPU’s.

IIRC voting rules for the company I hold the most equity in are that a board-opposed measure does not pass unless more than half of all voting shares vote in favor. Which is a significantly different measure than half of all votes cast. (Essentially any unvoted shares vote with the board.) Imagine if we needed half of all eligible voters to vote for a new candidate before we could change the president. (U.S.A)
> I have never been able to fathom how people put so much effort into remakes of old games instead of, say, creating new games.

I've always held that when I retire, I'll commit to remaking Majora's Mask or Super Mario RPG. (Nintendo recently committed to the latter, but the tone is very different.)

Old games are a means of recapturing childhood nostalgia and reliving the fleeting feelings of youth. New games don't do that at all.

I'm not even a gamer anymore. I have next to zero time or desire to play new games. But I'd happily pick up something old to feel those feelings again, and I regularly watch YouTube videos of old games. They send you somewhere.
Similar with other systems; eg some States appear to intentionally sabotage their cannabis tracking systems; reducing data integrity and making enforcement more difficult (subjective). Then act shocked when there are events of labs fixing the metric and inversion of materials.
> solarpunk is a surprisingly hard setting to write in. Not enough conflict

Ha. Where man goes, conflict follows.

A "perfect" world in total harmony is boring. Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood would be pillaged by neighboring warlords on first contact, if it wasn't first subverted from within by the resident entitled 12-year-old furry. Even in a natural utopia, nature abhors a vacuum.

Cults strive to maintain a facade of harmony. The conflict is readily apparent to insiders. It just appears as though there is no conflict to outsiders.

There was a solarpunk-ish epoch in the game Chrono Trigger (Zeal). Everything was peaceful and harmonious. This enlightened age was brought down when its scholars researched tech they shouldn't and birthed the harbinger of the apocalypse.

If there's not enough conflict, you're not looking close enough at what's going on at street level. Write a story from the perspective of a cop, a farmer, a plumber, or any other blue-collar job in this world. People need to eat and drink. What happens when that's challenged? They can't live in their own shit. What happens when pipes collapse? They fight over dumb things. Where and how?

Wherever two people coexist, there are politics. Where three exist, there are factions and intrigue. Where there's four, one is expendable...
The something worse also includes potential damage reimbursement for the violation. The exposure of personal details is just the first stage of "something worse."

Why use Outlook without Office 365 or Exchange at all?

Only reason I could think of: some very specialized extensions that are only available for Outlook.

I'm really happy that Thunderbird recently got some updates, I think it's the only good free desktop mail client that is still around. Evolution looks really dated nowadays.

Personally I can recommend eM Client for Windows users as an Outlook replacement (and they have a macOS version too). It's commercial, but there is a free version for private use. It does CardDAV/CalDav quite well, and supports PGP/S/MIME.
Of course it's defined, even git knows what it means because that's what cherry-pick does.

I never watched B&B because from fragments and ads, I concluded that the attempt to validate such behavior was the cartoon's whole point.

Have you ever used git cherry-pick? Git rebase is if you were loop over each commit (bottom to top) and run `git cherry-pick` on each commit separately.

If you haven't used git cherry-pick, then it is basically a shortcut for `git show $REF | git apply -`, where the short cut is the simplest form of using git, you have a patch (via git show) and you want to apply it to your local checkout.

That's... not what a MitM is.

A VPN provider can't get any more information about your traffic than your ISP can. Given that most ISPs are pretty scummy, I don't see a material difference, even with a fairly shady VPN provider.

Having said that, I trust the VPN provider I occasionally use way more than I trust my ISP.

I think that's a very good metaphor, because, statistically speaking, there are very very few cliffs where pressing the gas gives you higher chances of survival than trying to brake and turn. And on top of that, "well we're already aimed at the cliff and going to fast" is a very good way for the people that put us in that situation to force the issue in the direction they want.

"Well how bad can it be? You can't know it's going to be bad until we try it." -> "Ok, it's looking a little scary, but let's get a little closer." -> "Ok, this is probably a bad idea, but it's not an emergency yet, so let's chill out, ok?" -> "Ok there's still time to turn stop freaking out." -> "Ok now it's an emergency but it's too late to turn so we might as well go full speed ahead and hope it works out."
It doesn't really matter; the whole notion is mistaken. In the long run survival is dependent on flows of food and materials, not stocks.

Survival requires continuous replenishment. Are Mormons investing in farming skills and knowledge of how to make fertilizers and agricultural equipment at various technology levels? Not to mention mining or medicine or textile-making or construction or any of the other skills required...
What's up with all the NIMBY's downvoting you? I'm also of the opinion that the penalty for accepting a bribe should be harsher than the penalty for offering one.

From the article, it looks like both sides are being prosecuted, which is good, but tax dollars would be more productively spent working on a simpler, faster, less restrictive permitting system, instead of taking down people trying to work around the broken system.

For those who are happy about the outcome here, are you also happy when people who grow their own marijuana end up in prison? I feel like a lot of people are missing the point that a broken local government is the root problem, not people inevitably trying to circumvent the broken system. Although sure, bribery only helps the wealthy and connected get around the bad laws.

Ok, thought experiment. The people that inspect buildings can condemn them.

How would you like a system to develop in the city that unless you bribe city officials they each year randomly choose some local owners with buildings to condemn and then hint that they should be bribed. Of course to make it plausible, they choose buildings that they can come up with some kind of justification for.

Naturally, since they are that creative, this would develop into a system where they make buildings develop all kinds of inspection problems that they wish to take for their crime ring. A very common super broad area is ADA compliant ramps, markings, entrances, bathrooms. The building code has changed over the years and within a building department and between cities what the inspectors expect you to do wildly varies. When you go to get totally unrelated work done an inspector or the planning department can require you to make ADA upgrades.

Over time it is natural for some portion of the building stock to require work in the form of maintenance for just about every aspect of the buildings. Think of all of the opportunities they have to get your generous endorsement in the form of money, since this in this world you've created city officials demanding money is totally fine.

Pray any building or business in the city doesn't attract their attention!

As long as they pay taxes and contribute to the economy, they are supporting whatever the government does in a very concrete way. Their actual opinions matter little.

Western strategy is based on containing Russia to limit their government's ability to cause harm. Most would prefer that Russians chose overthrow the government and replace it with something more palatable, but so far they have been unable or unwilling to do so. The next best alternative weakening their economy with sanctions. That necessarily hurts ordinary Russians, because they are part of the same economy as the government.

It's not racism, because your family is being punished for their actions. It may feel unfair, but the world is unfair.

I think your characterization of "the public" outside of tech / academia (and I'd add medicine, finance, a few other professions) is pretty accurate in terms of academic knowledge.

Swap the places though and send someone who's held various mechanic, repair, manufacturing roles to a high end cocktail bar full of academics and let them ask questions on topics they know, and they'll be shocked (or maybe not) at how most of these academics basically don't know anything about how the nuts and bolts machinery that keeps the world running actually functions in real life, and certainly couldn't do most of the work themselves. They'd probably also come away thinking they'd rather have a random person from their dive bar in Nebraska help them for a day at work on a hard project than one of the people in the fancy bar.

Without being able to rely on these masses of the un-academic "public" to run the world they live in, the academics would largely be helpless and their knowledge useless as they starved to death as the world crumbled around them.

Specialized knowledge and training is amazing, and it allows us to advance as a civilization, but I don't think the average "academic" is much more intelligent or capable in the raw sense than the average person in "the public". Both are needed for society to function and progress. Without the academics there will be no progress, and without the public it will all break down.

Of course, there are also people who have little useful knowledge / skills / motivation either practical or academic. These people can however just as easily exist in the social / family circles of the elite, as in those of the public, so I don't think it's fair to throw them in either group for judgment.
I mean Aristotle's approach to physics is gold standard of modern science. Some even argue you don't need anything better, as Popper commanded. Also geocentrism is still used, because it gives correct numbers. Next question is whether correct numbers are everything needed from science. If yes, then geocentrism is perfectly good, because it gives correct numbers.

Another example: black hole information paradox. Solid modern science. It begins with "suppose we have a black hole defined as such and such". It has structure similar to many philosophic ideas, e.g. solipsism: "suppose we have solipsism defined as such and such".

I do this but I do not use them for privacy. I use Tinc [1] to route around internet outages as it can do user-space dynamic mesh routing. Since they are all nodes I pay for they would not hide who I am. While I do control the logging of Tinc I do not control external logging of the server and VPS providers.

For privacy I might theoretically use Tor but most sites block or grief people on that network. Tor exit nodes share some risks that of public WiFi.

I have never understood the "squash a branch to one commit before merging" attitude. I prefer small commits, both during code review and later, during looking into repo history (which is needed once in a while) or bisecting.

Also, technically, "squashing to one commit before merging" is rebasing, so apparently rebasing is a normal part of your workflow, too.

That said, our discussion only confirms that Git is pretty versatile and flexible. (Of course, the UI is terrible, but Magit helps a lot in that department.)

To add to this, step 1 would have to be "Normalize minimum wage across the economy". Currently tipped employees have a lower minimum wage, that must equal or exceed the country-wide minimum wage after tips are paid out. Employers must make up the difference if they're short. So tips are heavily incentivized.

Forcing businesses to essentially wrap what was the tip into the price, in order to pay the full wage to staff won't solve everything, but that's a major first step! Businesses would then suddenly be able to compete on "NO TIPS HERE! :)" on a little sign by the register. You're also competing on the real price now (bill of materials + full price of labour), not a portion of it. (Bill of materials + labour not paid for by a hidden guilt-enforced fee.)

It's also just kind of shitty morally, service work deserves the respect of any other job and shouldn't be given the weird distinction of "sub-minimum wage" work.

Be careful when interpreting those stats -- food insecurity often does not mean "doesn't have food". If you gave every single one of those people free meals for the year, we'd still have 12.8% food insecurity, because people who get free meals are counted in that number.

The whole reason "food insecurity" topics like unhealthy diets, skipped meals, relying on food assistance, etc, are even a cause for concern is because starvation really isn't anymore.

Similar phrases have been in circulation since at least the 1700s including a similar passage in Voltaire's Candide: "But in this country it is good to kill an Admiral from time to time to encourage the others."

In 1863 the words of Voltaire were alluded to in a memoir by Lord William Pitt Lennox who described the hazing experienced by pupils at the Westminster School in England: "...of having a flogging, to encourage the others, as a Frenchman said of the execution of Admiral Byng."

The first known reference to the specific wording "...until morale improves" dates to a 1961 US Navy comic:

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.c2582589&seq=737

After that cartoon was published we see many different variations on the phase pop up such as, "The layoffs will continue until morale improves" from 1964.

The first reference to the specific phrase, "The beatings will continue until morale improves" is from a 1989 Usenet post on soc.culture.nordic:

https://www.usenetarchives.com/view.php?id=soc.culture.nordi...

It's almost certainly older than that though because it's said as if it were a common phrase by that point.
> the Ukraine counteroffensive this summer failed

Its not in the past, the offensive is still ongoing, and it hasn't failed.

> Ukraine's allies are running out of war materiel to give

Ukraine's supporters are mostly scaling up production quite well, and sone of the most advanced weapons have only just hit the field.

> while Russia successfully scaled their manufacturing up

They’ve scaled up their budget in rubles, actual production seems less clear; they've certainly cut back committed exports to India and elsewhere.

> It's time to negotiate with Russia for peace before they decide to seize more of Ukraine's territory,

They can decide whatever they want, but since they are currently losing territory (as well as losing much effective use of the territory they still hold for the moment), those decisions don't seen to have any relation to reality.
