I mean, stills seems way ahead of the US where someone like him would just be thrown in genpop with no special protections at all.
Pretty sure I'll get downvoted for this, but it needs to be said.

I've got a couple of thoughts with the problems people have with all social media, not just tiktok:

- The reason why the social media propaganda is so effective is bc it can target and amplify real grievances - and I want to emphasize real grievances. Example - most cops are not racists thrill killers, but there are plenty of wrongful shootings of black folks + George Floyd, and russian trolls can amplify that easily to create dissent. Same with the Bin Laden letter - turns out that US policy in the middle east has been more harmful than good [1], and US government is freaking out, not bc their kids are turning into jihadists, its bc the government propaganda is now transparent and the kids are pissed.

- If we banned tiktok (or any other social media company) someone will make another in its place. The tech and business model are no longer novel. Instagram's V1 was on the app store in 2 months. Banning or regulating social media (especially the way Nikki Haley wants, with removing anonymity) will not solve anything long term.

- So what is the solution long term? Let's start with not doing more harm than good in the world. Second, there aren't any institutions that are going to save the day. Both political parties are corrupt to the core, and function for their donors, not their constituents (internalize that, and the world will start to make more sense). Therefore, the memetic fight for the people you love will start and end at home and not on X, facebook, tiktok - that's all I'll say about that.

[1] If you really want to go down the Bin Laden rabbit hole, watch the 1997 Peter Bergen interview. He basically gives 3 reasons as to why he turned on the US (after being an ally, btw): (1) US support of Israel at the expense of Palestinians, (2) US support of the Saudi family and their corruption, (3) the presence of US military in Arab countries. Funny, none of those reason have anything to do with "hating freedom" and has everything to do with US foreign policy in the middle east.

Like most human related things there is no single cause.

I can't comment on Iceland.

However, South Korea has one of the most crushing work cultures in the world, with insane work hours. Most people are not even in a relationship yet alone with kids.

In Portugal you have a huge problem of disposable income. Median salaries are insanely low and stagnant when adjusted to COL. To the point that by now most former 'Iron Curtain' EU members have surpassed Portugal in workers income both adjusted and absolute.
You'd need a very, very big explosive for any but the smallest grains to have divergent paths. They would form a cloud of debris that would travel on the same orbital path but spread out a bit. Breaking an asteroid up only works if it's fairly small to begin with since anything over about 50 meters that is solid is still going to be dangerous. If you broke a 2km asteroid into a mixture of 50m to 100m chunks of solid rock or metal then you're still going to have a very bad time when all that debris obliterates a state or small country.

Its a weird company:

* They got their LTE modem into the iPhone 11 but just couldn't compete.
* ARC GPUs would have been competitve if they had be launched a year or two sooner and its stagnancy is widley due to lack of funding since the market was dead during launch and we were in a massive market pullback where they were ultra hesitatnt to spend ANY money. (massive layoffs too)
* Optane was a great product and had a good roadmap, but they were burning cash waiting for adoption and their customers had decoupled their memory and storage from the physical layer to mitigate limitations of NAND ssd so much that they didn't see the price as worth it, despite the obvious latency and endurance benefits that it had over even SLC NAND drives.

Sometimes they just miss the market for otherwise good products.

But yes, thanks for the correction.
Yeah GPT4 as it exists now is a great teacher if youre new to a subject or are doing basic research. Its use fades as you get deeper into technical or niche subjects. Its fine now for writing emails and other housekeeping tasks. GPT3.5 was not good enough IMO to do any of these things.

If there is another capability leap like there was between 3 and 4, then 5 will certainly have a hugely expanded set of capabilities and uses. From translation to writing to more technical and niche research and learning. I am personally excited for the GPT of nexter-year or whenever that capability leap happens.
That is a fantasy.

The customer reaction to this decision spoke volumes. The official reason given is margins compared to hardware such as the IPU but, personally, I chalk it up to turf wars. Barefoot had a distinct culture to Intel's other networking units. There is a reason many of its engineers ended up at FAANGs and not other semiconductor companies.

Is it a US thing to push updates right before holidays and force people to be on call?

European companies I've been working on are planing releases till the end of November, first week of December max. All project plans are baked like there is one week in December.

While US company tried to force every contractors to work everyday and some weekends too. Are you Indian? You don't celebrate Christmas, you'll be on call. Are you Eastern Slavic? You celebrate Orthodox Christmas in January. You'll be on call.
I think it is for anything beyond community college or some other favorable stay-at-home situation. Most people who go to college outside of community colleges move. And many pennywise folks get a bunch of degree prerequisites out of the way via a year or two at community college before moving on. I got comparative savings just leaving the dorms.

And don't get me started on getting some hapless seventeen year old to sign up for debt which cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. Were barely-shaving I to walk into a bank and ask for a loan of a hundred thousand dollars or more, they would pat my head, give me a lollipop, and gently punt me onto the sidewalk. Say it is for college, though ...

Not only are you expected to take on this debt, but you're also supposed to have a reasonable idea of what it is you want to do as a career, so as to educate yourself for it. Now that's a laugh.

Why :cry-blood:? Burning waste is by far the best way to dispose of trash. Like the next best option is not even close.

It's best in every single possible way, except for one: Emotional people who don't realize it's the best way.
There's an important difference between email as an identifier in your own system, versus email as an identifier for a linked Google account. I agree with you that email works okay as an identity within a system you control, but agree with Google that it's a terrible way of linking with an external system: ephemeral, potentially tied to multiple accounts (!), and pointless when you've got an actual ID to use instead.
If you go far enough back, everything is nothing.

Hmm. I see what you are saying, but it totally discounts the value of diversity of thought.

For example, there is an optical illusion where people see the top line as shorter:

<——>

>—-<

However, they are the same length. (The illusion is more pronounced with hand drawn lines.)

Everyone falls for this illusion across all countries and cultures, so much so that folks hypothesized it is affected by our biology. Well, until some anthropologist showed it to some African tribesman. It turns out they were not susceptible to that form of illusion at all. It is unclear why.

My point is that if something as simple estimates of a length of line can benefit from diversity of thought, imagine how many other “obvious” yet wrong assumptions people make. And that is why it is valuable to include people of different genders, races, abilities.

Just like it is okay to pass on a yet another Python developer, maybe it is okay to pass on yet another person who assumes the top line is shorter.

Look, I don’t like the idea of quotas, either. But I also don’t like working at place where everyone is the same.

I don't read many papers but this makes it easier for me to save them in Joplin.
to strengthen your argument, you can acknowledge that no system we had was doing what you wish

there are magical criteria like culture fit which is inherently discretionary and biased which should be penalized too

DEI as you have experienced isnt a solution for that either

one reality is that companies dont always need most the cognitively/physically qualified person. they need to tap into markets and revenue, companies that have already reached the peak of their primary market gain perspective by having people of backgrounds more in align with markets they aspire to be in. Many large companies are in that position and should be ignoring employee reindeer games about pedigree and performance.

although one most complaint alteration of DEI is just recruiting from different sources that might have more minorities, like different schools, or even creating the pipeline in those schools, where the goal is more talent that happens to perform as well as existing talent, there is a parallel effort where none of that matters if the organization’s expansion into markets simply relies more on familiarity with that market. Do both, I say

but other organizations that are just metoo-ing DEI should absolutely be called out

all organizations that implemented it for arbitrary reasons should be called out

It’s not considered the same because it’s not the same. In traditional societies, kinship networks allow this web of interdependency that just makes life easier. It’s not just the depth of the relationships, but the breadth. Your friends are probably the same age as you, work in similar jobs, etc. That’s not true of your kin, who will be in a range of aged and different life stages that can support you, or whom you can support.

Two of my mom’s sisters lived with us between college and when they got married. How many people do you know that are say 5 years older who would let you move in with them for years? How many would watch your kids every day for months? How many of your friends are going to attend your parents’ funeral?

You get rid of your competition either way, though - either the competing products are now part of your offerings, or they're no longer sold. Either situation leads to the same level of reduced competition.

Thanks - but this sounds like an email 2FA flow, not a magic link.

A magic link is a link a user clicks in their browser, that lands them on the appropriate service, where the one-time code is part of the URL. The service consumes the token and provides the user with a (first factor) authentication token.

In other words, the email doesn't display a code which they could go paste into the attacker's page. Though they may still need to perform a 2FA flow following the magic link flow (and this portion is still phishable!)

Your critique is definitely valid for most forms of 2FA (email, SMS, and TOTP.)
And because it's their business model, you don't have to worry about it changing.

They do stuff on-device because they want to keep selling expensive devices.

It's fantastic for them that they sell the hardware, unlike Google/OpenAI that have to spend on hardware.
I wonder if perhaps it's a generational thing, I prefer the PDF because it reminds me of printed paper, which is what I used growing up.

I think it doesn’t even need to be a “try to achieve” type thing. I’ll happily leave if a site doesn’t want to serve me without ads. I’m not interested in a technical back and forth.

I wish sites would stop with the nag pop-ups and all that junk.

Ideally, sites’ link generators would have a means of labeling their links as “ad-required” and our browsers could just be programmed to not render them. Link aggregation sites like Hackernews could just not show those sites to users that don’t want them. If a site requires a GDPR tracking pop-up, I just don’t want it to show up in my duck-duck-go searches.

It is annoying that it is a battle. We have two parties that just don’t want to do business with each other. I get that many sites are ad-supported and I wish they could be hidden so that I could more easily find the other ones.

Hmm - actually, if the object is that big...would we even have enough nukes/energy to break it up. Seems like either way (breakup/push) we're going to be limited by the amount of energy we can deliver compared to the mass of the asteroid? Oh! also, would a nuke actually keep stuff out gassing long enough before it cools back down? how long would you need to have that tiny lil push going on before it made any practical difference? thats a lot of mass to try and push ??
Worth noting that "Russian Wikipedia" here is "Wikipedia in the Russian language", not "Wikipedia of the country of Russia". There is no country specific Wikipedia, just different languages.

Yes, that's essentially the whole post. They lambast the dec9 Apple statement with all of the things they've done post-Dec9. Acting as if they weren't forced into all these things and acting as if their product has always been the way it is now. It's pretty bad

Do you really think all of that is solely for the household and that the man is scrutinizing every single penny?

Setting that aside, once you have a family, nobody is going to have much discretionary money and they’ll have even less with just one income earner.
Certainly doesn't have to be religious. I think you probably have all your family living near each other or don't like them. To me, this is the only time of year outside of major events like weddings, funerals, and graduations that I can be reasonably assured my parents, all my sisters, all of my nieces and nephews, and at least a few aunts, uncles, and cousins will all be in the same place at the same time. It's both nice and convenient to be able to travel to one place and see all of them together. It's the kind of thing that can only realistically happen at a coordinated national level, and if took a religious holiday to give the country an excuse to give us all a holiday at the same time, I'm fine with that even if I don't practice the religion.
Except in this case the vast majority of people have read the docs and then gone on to implement them correctly.

I’m sorry that you wrote buggy code because you didn’t read. But it’s the height of arrogance to assume that because you did, everyone else surely must have as well.

In my view, this falls under fair use.

If you have a private copy of a printed newspaper, you're free to tear out a page, draw pen-mustaches, wrap a fish in it, make a paper airplane, solve the crossword puzzle incorrectly, wipe yourself, basically anything you like - for your own amusement.

I don't see how your private copy of the webpage bytes should be any different.

In both cases there are very clear boundaries: you can't redistribute derivative works without permission & attribution (copyright), you can't publicly broadcast, etc. Everything else should be fair game.

Well, ads are the business model. Ads make it possible to sell things that people don't want to pay for. Newspapers and magazines wouldn't be possible without ads. It's been that way for literally centuries. But internet ads are definitely a new level of crazy.
I'm conflicted about Youtube in particular because when you filter out all the social viral crap, Youtube is one of the greatest educational resources ever created by human beings. I can go search youtube for any subject imaginable and get broad and deep video instruction on the subject from dozens of different perspectives. In grad school when a professor did a terrible job of explaining a niche technical subject, I could go on Youtube and watch lectures from a variety of other professors. I can go to Youtube to learn how to cook, how to dance, how to build a wooden canoe with hand tools, so many amazing things. It's a shame we can't find a better way to fund and maintain the educational portions of it. I don't know of a better way.

What's more, the technique is in one sense very well explored: ablation drive is how fusion bombs work.

Putting Deuterium and Tritium (well, LiD which becomes D+T) in the middle of a fission bomb doesn't squeeze it hard/long enough to boost the yield of the fission bomb 1000x. Focusing the x-rays from a fission bomb onto a uranium "pusher" and driving it forward with the reaction force of vaporizing uranium does squeeze hard enough to generate fusion yield far in excess of the fission primary.

If this sounds vaguely familiar, you might be thinking of the Hohlraum at the NIF that recently made the press for getting more energy out than was deposited in. That strategy doesn't scale into a power plant but it does a brilliant job of simulating fusion bombs, which is why the DOE / NNSA can pursue it with so much money.

Enough energy is going to be dumped into the atmosphere either way it doesn’t make much difference. Further, even fist sized fragments are going to penetrate deep into the atmosphere so all options are effectively ground level detonations.

Suppose over one second you can be hit the earth with with either 1 30 gigaton weapon, 3 10 gigaton nuclear bombs. 3,000 100MT weapons, or 3 million 10 KT weapons etc. All of those suck in ways that are hard to comprehend.
Really? C'mon. Walk this thread back up, and see if you can find where it went off the reality rails. Then, see if your comment fits with the seriousness of the thread.
Interesting question. I guess that's one of the upcoming challenges for the entire legal system when it comes to AI.

One fundamental problem with such approach would of course be money. The AI would need to have a means of paying the fees and the USPTO declaration (37 CFR 1.63) may also prove difficult for an AI - "wilfulness" w.r.t. to false statements comes to mind. But that's a whole new can of worms I don't want to open.

It's funnier than you think.

Intel marketing built the market of x86 server + tightly integrated FPGA. Large customers built products based on their promises. Then they didn't deliver.

I wouldn't generalize - I grew up here and had 4 first cousins on my dad's side and three on my mom's from back home, but at the once removed level it blows up - my dad had at least ten first cousins in the same city and I currently have a close relationship with a second cousin once removed from my mom's side in the city I live now.
