> IMO you shouldn't censor anything. That's the only solution. When something is propaganda or false just quickly tag it as such with why it is false like Xitter does.

It seems to me this just moves the problem, because then we'd be having discussions about how this stuff is wrongly tagged, no? Also who does the tagging? Random users? See how well that will work.

And I'm fairly certain Twitter still removes stuff? If I post "gas the Jews" or "gas the Arabs" I wouldn't expect that to stay up?
I am not abreast of current thinking on the Enlightenment, but it seems blaming things like the world wars and their atrocities on the Enlightenment is bad history. The more likely culprit of those wars is romantic nationalism, which was a reaction to the Enlightenment. That the Enlightenment didn't figure everything out and precipitate the end of history in 1789 doesn't seem like an indictment of it, and it hardly seems fair to lay the crimes of counter-movements at its feet. I'm curious what the historical interpretation is that pins nationalism on the Enlightenment.
Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)
Which is obviously the correct approach, because the commercial models have zero CSAM. Just don't ask for proof of this claim.
Now if only the app itself can do this for me so that I don't have to do it myself, which was my original point.
Even better, if you want to blow the mind of even most tech people, show them a high capacity MicroSD card and tell them how many 1's and 0's it can REALLY store.

SD cards are many, many times larger than you think they are - often hundreds of times larger. This is because they use wear leveling to avoid read/writing too much to any one bit.

It is quite possible that this one SD card could have hundreds of TB of storage space on it. I have often wished there were some easy way to access all of this space for situations where you know that you only want to write once to the card - meaning you know you only want to write once. Would be great for storage.
Don't ignore the "or a fine". A situation like you described doesn't commonly result in any jail time (or in any fine, tbh)

Besides, I'd wager even if the whole state hated you, you would clearly be protected in that specific scenario by article 5 of the constitution, which trumps the penal code or other ordinary laws:

What is direct kernel generation?
We've lost a lot of ground on various open projects because of a bunch of people taking the free gifts, while being oblivious -- or indifferent -- to why we have those.

Excellent advise. What works great for you or your team won’t work well for somebody else. So be humble about declaring your way to be “The Way”.

For example, I prefer statically typed languages. It just works well with how my brain works. I am super productive. However I also understand that dynamic languages works better for some developers. That’s great! I will naturally seek out jobs and teams that prefer statically typed languages and they will seek out jobs and teams that prefer dynamic languages. No problem.
Thank you! I tried to look up examples from that time exactly. I missed linking to it in the article, but here it is: http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/360/pli/GC33-0009-4_PLI_Che... page 92.

using a 256GB SD card on a phone that only advertises 32GB capacity right now... works fine.

but phones that advertise low capacity limits are probably also not wiring the SD interface for high bandwidth. it's not unusual to see internal flash capable of 100MB/s but SD interface only capable of 10MB/s :(
The reason why you have to write HTML like it's 1999 has nothing to do with "the email spec" not having evolved. The MIME RFCs are perfectly capable of supporting modern HTML and even any alternative representation (that's where MIME types come from!). The reason is exactly the lack of innovation in incumbent email clients — Outlook for Windows still uses the Microsoft Word HTML rendering engine from the nineties and Google Mail's sanitization allowlist is so aggressive that it filters out almost all modern CSS and HTML. And of course, all these clients support only text or HTML.

The most modern email client in terms of HTML/CSS support — by miles — is Apple Mail (on both macOS and iOS), which seems to support almost everything that modern Safari supports [1].
But you have to target the lowest common denominator (Outlook/Gmail), as polyfilling or progressive enhancement in emails are near impossible. GMail was once the client that revolutionized email, but then they started chasing after stuff like AMP for email and acquiring+killing other clients instead of just keeping up with standards.

Email could be such a nice technology if Google and Microsoft evolved their email clients with the same ambition as they evolved their web browsers.

A subroutine isn't the same as a function.

Functions return a value, and can be used by name in an assignment operation.

Subroutines are not interchangeable with them and are traditionally called by line number, and lack local variables.

It sounds to me like what you are referring to are procedures: named blocks of code that can accept parameters, manipulate them in local variables, and thus can call themselves, enabling recursion.

If that's what you meant, I agree. I owned a few (ZX Spectrum Beta BASIC, Sam Coupe SAM BASIC, and BBC BASIC V) and it makes much clearer code very easy.

How is that incoherent?

Just because a system is bad doesn't mean it won't get used, especially if companies or institutions feel that they can save money in the process.

I've lived in several countries and have witnessed how, in the name of efficiency, it has gradually become impossible to get in touch with anyone from an institution to get a problem resolved. We've replaced human beings with phone menus. They don't do the job (of answering your questions or solving problems), but they're certainly cheaper than the human beings who did!
True. My concern is that there's a constant flood of environmental news, with almost no attention given to the relative impact of different efforts. There's no conspiracy, but if I was trying to prevent people from making meaningful change, this is what I would do.

NeurIPS 2023 Recap – Best Papers
When I was in school as well. Though other encyclopedias were considered fine. Wikipedia was just new back then.

However, I see a big difference. First, Wikipedia generally lists its sources (LLMs don't, or not always, or just completely invent references). And then if I give Wikipedia as a source, first I chose that it was good enough in this case (I am not doing a PhD in the history of email), and I assume that you can think critically about the fact that it comes from Wikipedia (probably you will agree that it is good enough in this case).

Referencing an LLM is the exact equivalent to saying "a friend who I know routinely tells me complete bullshit told me this". I honestly don't see how this can get better than e.g. Wikipedia. Well at least before LLMs are used to populate Wikipedia and destroy it, I mean.
Capacity limits for drives exist because the maximum capacity of SD cards depends on the protocol used: SD, SDHC, SDXC, SDUC. Each protocol requires driver support in the device. Hardware wise, there isn't many changes required though, and to some degree this partitioning is also artificial because one can just make a standard that supports horribly gigantic capacities.

But anyways, the limit exists, and this means that whether your device can support larger SD cards after it is released depends on whether the driver is getting updates or not. Android phones are quite known for not releasing driver updates, although often there is updates for Android phones as well. Thinkpads are IBM computers, and the update story is way better there.
I adore this app and it makes it even more fun to wander around new areas on foot.

One thing I ran into is that there are buildings that aren't shown in Street Complete. I tried adding a note but there seems like no way to add them in.

There was a post upvoted highly at the beginning of this current war, by scholar opinions about the situation in Palestine but it was removed completely, not just flagged or deleted. But full removal which I've not observed before on HN.

I am so glad my teenage hijinx did not survive the transition to internet and I feel deeply sorry for children today. Sooo much cringe.

The inherent locality of BBSes was pretty nice however, sure there were some long distance users but most people on most boards were local. I recently rediscovered this photo where 16 year old me recreated the on-login BBS quote wall by asking BBS friends that came over to sign my wall: https://nt4tn.net/photos/wall.jpg

It's been a few years since I've talked to anyone I knew from the BBSes (moving to the other side of the country no doubt contributed, some of them have died, etc) but they hung on longer than anyone else I knew as a teenager.
It is listed in the release notes as "[Kernel] Auto infer size of matched variable in bitstrings".
You can now just match on `^var <> rest` or `<<^var::binary, rest::binary>>` without having to explicitly pass the size: `<<^var::binary-size(byte_size(^var)), rest::binary>>`.

It depends on the distro. What especially hammers SD cards on Linux, eventually rendering the card read-only, is logs being written to disk. A lot of distros for Raspberry Pi therefore now keep logs in RAM.

Currently, it’s evident that our political landscape lacks genuine representation for traditional leftist (liberal) or right-wing (conservative) ideologies.

Instead, what we’re witnessing are parties primarily aligned with interests of different companies or verticals, overshadowing the core values and concerns of their supposed political spectrums.
What you are effectively saying is "people in Meta will decide to be on one political side or the other. They will pick one political side to lose. They will sort/rank to be effectively censored (not scene in common usage). Pretend that can't be escaped". It can be escaped. Having the power to censor one political side is just too addicting for meta to use the self-control to not abuse that power. That is what is happening.

You fail History 101 (congrats on your Godwin's Law achievement, too).

Hitler transitioned into a dictatorship. He also didn't exactly achieve power through democratic means, he coaxed the President into giving him power, then staged a false flag attack to attain the sum of all powers for indeterminate time. Find one mainstream history book which calls Nazi rule a democracy.

Really, this is getting silly: it's ok to overthrow dictatorships, it's not ok to overthrow democracies you don't like as long as they remain democratic. You have to wait your turn.

Hitler had a dictatorship, there was nothing democratic about his rule.

Funny how algorithms work. They make us see the world in binaries and absolutes; of one side being capable of no good and the other side capable of no evil.
I agree in principle - what's the point in deciding to use Rust but turning off the borrow checker?

But on the other hand

- Rust already has unsafe mode, which is exactly for allowing you to avoid some safety checks when you've decided you are smarter than the compiler

- this really is an example where the compiler isn't smart enough, as evidenced by the fact there are plans to make it work

So another "unsafe" type of marker that watered down the borrow checker would not be totally inconsistent with the language philosophy. It should work at the block or the file level, though - surely you wouldn't want to turn that off for all your code.
The problem in the Android world is that the most respected Android version for privacy, GrapheneOS, only runs on Google Pixel phones that all lack SD card slot. Sure, you can choose to buy another phone that has an SD card slot, but that will involve a privacy tradeoff.
It depends on the vehicle and state. In general, "tube testing" went away on gas cars when OBD-II was standardized - they just ask the car, "Are you happy with your emissions system condition?" and accept the answer, though it's not utterly trivial to forge the answer.

The fundamental problem with all the emissions testing is the gap between "as it's supposed to be done" and "as it's actually done." The people actually doing the work tend to be, more or less by definition, "car people." And they reasonably enough tend to avoid the more "engine abuse" ends of the test spectrum when they can do so - which does reduce the effectiveness of the tests in some cases.

For older diesels (my '97 7.3 Powerstroke, for instance), the "snap test" is supposed to involve flooring the throttle and letting the engine bounce off the rev limiter, while the sniffer sees how much smoke you emit (with a comically high pass limit - something like 40% opacity, which is really "a very dark exhaust plume"). The one and only time my engine has seen the rev limiter in my car was when I emissions tested it shortly after buying it, and did the procedure as written. Every other time I've tested it, someone else has run the test, and they'll bring the engine up quickly (but not floored) into the test RPM range, which doesn't involve going to redline - think 1800-2000 RPM instead of 3500 RPM. They way they do it, you pretty much can't fail if you drove the truck there, unless you've got a check engine light glowing or obviously missing emissions control equipment (no bulge in the exhaust pipe where the cat should be).

Because the people doing the test, very reasonably, don't want to be responsible for older engines throwing rods out the side of the block, and there is zero reason to have a lot of the older diesels at redline, no matter what you're doing (I'll let the engine spin to 3k when I'm pulling a heavy trailer up a long grade, otherwise I never even see 2500 RPM).

And there's also the various "ways around the test." A friend who used to have a rather fun to drive car noted that his sniff tests always resulted in the emissions profile of his mechanic's very clean, stock, Honda Civic.

There's only so much you can do, unfortunately, when people are motivated to go around the edges of the system. And I'm not sure "clamping down massively" accomplishes much at this point.
Not nearly the hit piece I assumed but also not super new or interesting. The depth of the Thiel ties were surprising.
Great reference!

I tried to read it through straight, but got pretty lost somewhere in the transistor section.

The bad news: I still suck at electronics.

The good news: I have this book on hand as a reference.

For better, or for worse: You can get quite far these days being an IC baby. Connect pin A to pin B by apeing data sheet reference diagrams. Electronics-by-numbers, perhaps. So, for better or for worse, electronics fundamentals is only a hard-requirement if you're the one designing the ICs. (Even with RF, there are modules, and IC filters) You can likely think of several programming analogies.
I see what you did there. So basically an overlapped proportion (or hits proportion) would be overlapping hits divided by samples run, and then an estimated total would be this proportion divided by total space of possibilities. That would work.
