Karl Popper:

“Twenty-five years ago I tried to bring home the same point to a group of physics students in Vienna by beginning a lecture with the following instructions: 'Take pencil and paper; carefully observe, and write down what you have observed!' They asked, of course, what I wanted them to observe. Clearly the instruction, 'Observe!' is absurd. (It is not even idiomatic, unless the object of the transitive verb can be taken as understood.) Observation is always selective. It needs a chosen object, a definite task, an interest, a point of view, a problem. And its description presupposes a descriptive language, with property words; it presupposes similarity and classification, which in their turn presuppose interests, points of view, and problems.”
Yet again the workers suffer from the incompetence of the ownership class.

There is still a comparatively small bit active community of webrings, blog rolls, etc today. What I'm less certain of is whether the driver really consumers chasing the brightest light or platforms taking advantage of basic psych tricks to drive addictive behavior (or both).
Those mechanisms only exist because class is malleable. You don't need to worry about old or new money of etiquette or mannerisms or anything with caste because it's immutable, period. You can't get out it even by changing your religion. No amount of generations matter, where you went to school doesn't matter. No other mechanisms or such complications are needed because you can never change it, end of story. It's a form of race.

The tip is not for any particular effort. It's just an inefficient way to pay the bartender a living wage. The employer should do it, but while I vote for higher minimum wages, lower cost of living, and back the Alamo Drafthouse unionization efforts, I also tip because I recognize that's part of the true cost of the labor, and I can afford to.

A compiler could do that - involves inserting bswap on the way to/from memory, might also be a worthwhile flag for big endian machines that want to execute code that assumes little endian load/stores. I don't know of an implementation of such though.
Even left-wing economists are not a fan of the minimum wage, which is mostly political theatre.

If the market judges a particular level of software engineering to be worth say, $300/hour, and flipping a burger to be worth $20/hour, then that ratio will persist no matter what you do to the minimum wage.

You could pay the burger flipper $1m/hour, and then inflation will kick in mightily, and the engineer ends up at $15m/hour, and the burger flipper is back to feeling poor again.

Everyone already knows what the words "bombing" and "shooting" mean, and it would be hard to find someone who considers war to be a good thing. The entire question is which dead children and whose misery we pay attention to.

This article doesn't help answer it. It's just a journalist trying to justify a more emotionally powerful and eye-catching form of journalism in a world where a huge number of people are already addicted to doomscrolling. If anything, we need mutual disarmament in the area of giving people an endless stream of depressing and enraging news in ever more optimized ways.

> When is it that "hackers" and people into doing risky businesses started getting so into in the most boring, most conservative investor of all time?

I won't comment on the general sentiment of your comment, but I will take exception to your characterisation of Munger as "the most boring, most conservative investor of all time".

Munger throughout his life Munger came up with many interesting (and sometimes controversial) ideas, he even made some fairly risky speculative investments. For example just in recent history he was looking to invest in building windowless dorms to much push back and outrage. He also made a very risky leveraged bet on Alibaba which was far from conservative.

If you aren’t aware of the cereal grain price issues in Europe I’m not sure you are paying attention. Here’s one recent relevant article; there are a ton more if you look:

"The NT kernel, a rewrite in C of the VMS kernel (which itself was written in assembler), presented three APIs to userland: Win32, POSIX, and OS/2."

Not quite. I'd rephrase this as "NT presented three userland personalities—the CSR (Win32), OS/2, and POSIX—through a composition of kernel primitives implemented as userspace subsystems."

The core binary image ntoskrnl.exe only exposes the primitives needed to get the CSR, OS2, and PSX subsystems started, and those (mostly, save for some code that lives in win32k.sys) run in userspace. They more or less act as translators between the native NT ABI/API and the respective subsystems' ABIs/APIs.

PSX in particular did a lot of its own PE image mapping and parsing (something that you'd perhaps think would be done in kernel space) so that it could defer to the other subsystems to run foreign code among other things.

You've (collectively) already fallen for it by allowing the government to develop a standing army (and not just any standing army, but possibly the most capable in the world of crushing any dissent even if it happens halfway across the globe).

As James Madison put it in 1787, "A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty." Or Samuel Adams called it, "always dangerous to the Liberties of the People."

Could you point me in the direction of info about this? I have horrible tearing, and even enabling picom hasn't helped.
Is that still the case these days? I thought we lost that ability sometime around C99 (it's now UB to read from the inactive member), and you're now supposed to memcpy all over the place and hope the compiler elides it.
Your decision makes me sad.

GitHub is doing something the world needs: putting better security on a huge chunk of the open source software that is shared and relied upon by literally all of humanity.

Any repo, anywhere, has the chance to become a part of the open source ecosystem. Strongly authenticated developer accounts on those repos is critical for everyone's security. It sucks that we are here, but here we are. Password managers are almost enough to save us, but not quite.

I think it is fair to complain about particular factors of 2FA (e.g. TOTP or Yubikey or iPhone Passkey or SMS or whatever). And it's fair to complain that the session timeout on a strongly authenticated persistent session cookie should be user-managed (30 days? no problem! 90 days? I trust my device enough for an API key, why not a cookie?).

And all your command-line stuff is already API key-based on GitHub...

But good 2FA offers real security against a lot of threats. I hope more people embrace it.
> Why would an elite law firm want generative AI?

If you're writing that I can only suppose you're not a lawyer. Tons and tons of legal documentation is a lot of "configurable boilerplate", with 10-20% specifics thrown in. There is loads generative AI can do to speed up the workflow of lawyers.

And no, not all lawyers are complete idiots like the ones that posted fake citations from ChatGPT into a legal briefing without vetting it first.
> What's funny about it? He's reflecting on the low wages v. amount of work involved to make those wages worth his time.

What's funny is he is reflecting on this _after_ his prior gig was running a state labor department.

This is the kind of thing that you should have _already reflected on_ if you are running a state labor department.

The fact that you can _run a state labor department_, and not yet reflected on the low wages v. amount of worked involved to make those wages shows exactly "how disconnected well-to-do people can be".

It's good that he learned the lesson, but it's a damn shame that he learned it after he was in a position to actually do something useful with that knowledge.
>One thing I saw in comments about the removal of xorg server is that some might not see how much work is/was to maintain xorg server. I understand is hard to see from outside, but maintaining xorg server with the standards we have in RHEL is not a small beast

So you choose a big beast to maintain because "it's cool".

And, btw, which standards do you have in RHEL ? (Some years ago fvwm was removed. The feeling at that time it was that fvwm ate to few memory, that's why it was removed)
I agree you’re not under an ethical obligation to be abused, but to use a company’s services where all parties expect you to tip, and then you don’t that’s unethical as well. You don’t get to have your cake and eat it too.

Google, structurally, sucks at anything but sucking down Ad money.

A good LLM allows one to basically bypass the internet for many use cases and drastically reduces ad time. As cool as LLM capabilities are the thing that delights me most about them is I can get high quality (YMMV) answers from the internet without all the godforsaken ad bullshit and wonky websites made only as mazes to keep users in ad gardens.

Google is stuck in one hell of an innovators dilemma, one that I can't really see them getting unstuck from.

As far as this particular product, it's touting cost efficiency, but that's not really dominating many decisions yet. There is an all-in sprint to get models trained and take their piece of the pie before the moats get too deep and AI hardware everywhere is back-ordered 12+ months.

Sure, in situations where tipping is factored into the wage, if you use a service you should tip. I get around that by mostly avoiding such services.

But the situation here isn't a clear-cut case like a sit-down restaurant where tipping is expected. If I were handed a receipt like the one in the article for my family's tickets and food, it wouldn't occur to me for a second that the barkeep in the room next door was relying on me tipping on this popcorn purchase in order to make a decent wage on this kids movie night.
I don't understand the outrage over this. Are windows a major selling point of dorm rooms? When I was in college i don't recall dorm windows being that important. I was studying or elsewhere most of the time anyway.

The idea that it will at some point develop a mind of its own and decide that it has motivations that lead it to try to kill us is a superstitious handwave.

As some who was irradiate by Chernobyl, this paragraph makes me smile. Yeah, Chernobyl was all `math – code – computers, built by people, owned by people, used by people, controlled by people.` and blew up in our faces so bad, that that it will be dead zone for hundreds of years to come.

Ok, but sit back and ask yourself (if you’re in the US, which is the context being discussed and what they do in another society isn’t particularly relevant), do you tip at restaurants and bars? Almost everyone would agree they do.

The situation here is it’s a restaurant and bar that shows movies.

I wouldn’t expect to tip on the ticket prices, but it is surprising to expect to not tip full service waiters and bartenders.

I will be willing to wager $2 that the same people at a bar would tip their bartender as is customary in the US. The context mixture of theatre with bar is likely the cause of the anomalous behavior. And the authors point is: if you don’t want to tip your bartender at the theatre, then expect there won’t be a bartender at your theatre as they will work at a bar, where you would tip them.

That seems pretty fair?
Yes you can create a TLD.

The question is what assumptions are implied by "TLD". Will it be used by other people. How many. Will there be a registry. Will the registry "rent" domain names as some sort of business. Will you try to get the nameservers for the TLD listed in someone else's root.zone file, e.g., ICANN's.

It's possible to create a TLD that makes none of these assumptions. For example, I have some TLDs I created on the home network.

The idea of a "right" to create a TLD assumes some sort of valid legal or regulatory framework. But this does not exist. There is an imaginary authority that relies 100% on voluntary compliance, embodied in a private US corporation called "ICANN", but it's imagined "authority" has no basis in the law of any country. It will gladly take peoples' money but it offers no means of enforcing the "rights" it purports to "grant".

Trademark law is perhaps the only legal framework governing what you do with your TLD. But the idea that a TLD must resemble a trademark is yet another assumption, not a requirement. For example, the TLDs I created for use on the home network cannot be confused with any trademark.
It seems telling that nuclear, the only technology that could legitimately threaten the oil and gas industry in a short amount of time, is also the only technology that got more expensive as more capacity got installed. Why do you think that might be?

Disaster cleanup is a problem for sure. I think it’s still cheaper than oil and gas because those industries externalize all their costs.

Look. I’m not against solar and wind. I just think nuclear is the only way to feasibly rapidly decarbonize our energy production and solar and wind proponents always ignore that solar and wind just can’t do that on their own. Yes grid scale batteries are being invested in but it’ll take forever to build enough capacity assuming we even can in the first place - a not insignificant portion of battery production overall has to go to vehicles too and there’s no sign we’re getting our shit together to use car batteries as part of grid scale storage (the electrical distribution aspects are very difficult)
