Why do Ponzi schemes still exist if they’re scams? Why do MLMs still exist if they’re scams? Why does any scam exist if it’s a scam?

The answer is obvious: because there are still enough chumps to be tricked. There will always be people willing to believe anything, and there will always be others ready to exploit that.

Plus, you’re conflating things. Cryptocurrencies as technology aren’t inherently scams, it just so happens their features make them an extremely well suited tool to run scams with (which can take various forms), so much so that’s by far their most common use case.
First of all, thanks for reminding me that i'm not alone! :-)

The engineers FAANG needs are usually not of the aerospace variety, are they?

The final choice for starting a war is basically in the hands of the US. By not joining the fight for Ukraine and by not joining the fight between Israel and Hamas it shows that the US doesn't typically join foreign wars that aren't it's business.

The West will not be "choosing to defend Taiwan" because the West doesn't actually truly care about Taiwan, Ukraine, gaza or Israel.

The West cares about being the number one power and to this end it will be the US "choosing" to engage in war with china.

I'm Taiwanese, china isn't being coy with words here. They will invade Taiwan to force reunification in the same way the north forced reunification in the US civil war. They truly believe this.

This is entirely different from how the US is hiding behind the "defense of Taiwan". No the Taiwanese know the US doesn't care about Taiwan. They care about staying number one economically and they will may use the "defense of Taiwan" as an excuse to use war to stop Chinas economic advancement.

And it mostly comes down to Boeing being unwilling to invest in a new design so they can keep getting grandfathered into the approval process since all iterations are "the same plane". Something that probably directly led to recent events.
Anyone know what happened after? Haven't seen a lot of these at work
This kind of lowbrow commentary adds nothing to the conversation. The fact is, you as a passenger don't make a payment transfer directly to SFO when you use Lyft or Uber, so it is in fact them who make the payment. The fact that Lyft and Uber can't create money out of thin air and therefore the money has to come from somewhere is obvious.
I'd suggest a full dose of bufo/5-meo for your next. There really aren't thoughts at the high end yet it is quite a profound experience.
That tweet opens an interesting discussion, don't you think that? Twitter/X offers interesting insights but as of the rest of Internet sometimes it is difficult to find and/or depends on specific communities. There is a lot of rage there either.

OP here - I was unaware of the message that would be displayed from Hacker News redirects when I posted this link as I (obviously) didn't read it originally from Hacker News.

As someone who uses Fedora Asahi Linux exclusively for both microservice software development and personal use, I merely wanted to share this well-written post on the latest developments for Fedora Asahi Remix. I believe them to be quite impressive and noteworthy.

And while I do not share the same sentiment in the message displayed to redirected users from Hacker News, I respect any viewpoint and right to display such a message. I can only assume that there was good reason for them to do so. However, I would have preferred the message include a link that readers could click on to allow them to read the underlying blog post.

I presume your "merchants of doubt" is referencing the people and scientists-researchers who don't think CO2 is the existential threat or urgent crisis that is being propagated in MSM and by authoritarian politicians with ulterior motives to manufacture consent with the population for more authoritarian-control policies?

That's quite the bold-shalow claim-conclusion with providing no supportive evidence to dismiss all the claims/counter claims and work of these seemingly highly competent and ethical individuals, like these two, for example:

Dr. Willie Soon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7IdLzxzINw

Dr. Christopher Essex - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpjpBWxvamA

If you only put in that much effort into comments, how much effort do you likely put into adequately researching and sorting through the complexity of issues vs. how dismissive are you of talking points that don't fit your narrative, and how much confirmation bias will you likely succumb to?
Interesting. People with older hardware might not be able to run new software or process data at the same speed or efficiency as people with the latest hardware.
Whats wrong with this? This is a true statement.
A few decades from now people will be using AI to make their own versions/remixes/blends. Most of them will be trash, a few will be outstanding.

Either that or most of us will be dead. It's hard to know at this point.
> People aren't going to call red wine grown from the place champagne.

Correct, because red wines produced in Champagne are called something else.

To get to your point though, red wines from Bourgogne are most certainly referred to as "burgundy" and depending on whom you ask, it's always pinot noir (but some will argue Gamay is included). I've noticed that many chefs refer to any good Pinot as a burgundy when dunking it in their stews, and while that's probably okay most of the time when cooking, that generalization is discarding more than just a little nuance for drinkin' wine. A pinot noir grape grown in Oregon can be vastly different than one from France and I will usual skip on the former.

> It's like saying you can't call them brazil nuts unless they were grown in Brazil.

You're attempting to compare an entire culture, craft, and industry of wine to nuts that fall off trees. With things like wine, cheese, and cured meats, there are certainly regional characteristics and traditional techniques that make a product distinct. This designation is to protect consumers and businesses and hurts no one except imposters?

Since that's all too high brow, another more pertinent example may be how everyone from Kentucky knows the limestone in the water makes its whiskey the best in the would. While the US has some laws defining qualities of whiskey, it unfortunately doesn't lay down rules on "terroir". Corn mash isn't quite as expressive as wine grapes, so I can understand the skepticism but many folks swear that the old barns where bourbon whiskey is aged add their own touch.... not so sure about that one.

China already dominates manufacturing without a regime change. They have surpassed "western levels". There's only a few remaining areas that the US still dominates. Those areas include aviation, and JavaScript. The US has basically moved up the stack while China has taken over the entire bottom of the stack.

You missed the big difference between the GUI and CLI. Even if the GUI is completely unfamiliar, and you have to learn it, you can still see the different buttons, menus etc. They often have icons or text that hint at what they do, even if you don't know exactly what they mean.

With a CLI you have absolutely nothing. There is nothing to see at all, nothing to even begin to interact with to discover the capabilities.
A Programming Technique for Non-Rectangular Data (1979)
Eventually, Boeing management will probably decide it is cheaper to just buy planes from Airbus with the word "Boeing" conspicuously engraved on various components.

American management style is to focus on marketing as the source of all revenue to be exalted. Engineering, design and manufacturing are expenses to be minimized and controlled.

Right now, Boeing management is looking hard to find reasonable manufacturing scapegoats and when they do, heads will roll. Clearly, management had no involvement.

Gives you that warm, fuzzy and safe feeling doesn't it?
Note that this paper does not mention balanced ternary and only presents tables, diagrams and results for unbalanced ternary with values 0, 1 and 2.

The Setun computer, mentioned in the introduction, however, used balanced ternary with values -1, 0 and 1. Balanced odd bases consist of digits centered around zero.

Could balanced ternary redeem it's position with logic cirtuits in mind?

I think String Templates are pretty cool. For example it enables "tagged template literal"-like behavior which is super powerful in JS land.

I used it to support a LiveView implementation for Java: https://github.com/floodfx/undead

Sure the syntax isn't "pretty" but understandable and you get used to it like anything else.
>I've been in projects trapped with implementations that take months to incrementally update and then seen clean sheet implementations blow them out of the water in a matter of weeks.

The backslash is unsightly, I agree. Codifying template expression evaluators as a core part of the language, however, is a rational choice. Java is surprisingly foresightful in this regard - it means idioms in the language itself can guide people to getting the common use case of interpolating stuff correct. "STR" for the most prevalent case is perhaps a bit verbose, but at least it's explicit.
It is just something I would have never thought about otherwise.

You virtualise, or find someone willing to maintain some ancient version of the software on modern platforms (or you pay for it). If someone wants to maintain support for legacy protocols until the heat death of the universe, they are free to do so, but again it comes with a cost that not all projects can or should bear. Someone will have to think of how the ancient protocol works on every single software update - even if technically nothing changes that's still a maintenance cost.

Also, ossified infrastructure is not a good thing. That's yet another problem we need to solve as a civilisation. Not everything new is good but some old things are genuinely inferior and should be replaced.

jitl's comment summarizes it well and I'd add that if you're building a highly interactive app (especially on mobile), you can't wait for network after each action before showing feedback to the user. If you do your app will feel janky and broken. So the solution is to show what you "optimistically" expect to happen in the UI before your request has even reached the server so each interaction feels instant. E.g. if you like Tweet in the app, it'll show a heart even if you're not connected to the internet and then in the background once it has a connection it'll sync up all of the pending request.
This, however, can become tricky to implement and really hard to maintain as you add more features.

So Triplit does this all for you automatically with the mental model that your database queries automatically update when any data changes happen even if you're offline. Triplit takes care of reconciling this whether the request succeeds on the server and with concurrent changes from other users.
They were seen reacting way too late in the MCAS debacle, to the point other countries were pondering re-evaluating the trust-by-default position the FAA has.

The FAA must be seen to react decisively to keep their trust. This way, they keep carrying enough weight to declare the airplanes safe again later.
Not emotional, passionate. Don't forget, everyone in civil aviation spent their lives since decades worrying about safety. And then comes Boeing and fucks that all over twice.

Bad news for Boeing so, the FAA seems to be rather pissed. And rightly so.
It clearly hasn't been fine and beneficial.

You can tweak and upgrade an aircraft to a certain extent, but they've pushed the 737 design too far.
The engineers at Boeing are not going to trade planes for web apps.
The stars are disabled in light mode if you want to try that!
I'm not sure how logic and circuit design would look in that case. For communications, you're ultimately trying to get a representation of a bit stream from point A to B.

At some point, maybe you end up not doing exact computation but basically creating neural-like architectures that learn responsibilities, which compose up to a fully functional computer.
Apache is still maintaned, so is nginx... just throw the file into a folder accessible by the webserver (within documentroot), and you're done :)
I always thought that was the most idiotic part that the FAA accepted. Like, I get that there has to be leeway for similar configurations of the same plane so they don't have to go through the process for each. But it's been so clearly abused that it's ridiculous now.

Is Poor Economic Sentiment All About MAGA?
I once had the idea to do malware-similarity analysis. The X86 should first be lifted into a IL, so it gets "normalized" (e.g. register independant). The problem with all lifters is though that even a trivial "add rax, 1" generated a lot of IL code (probably 50-100 lines in LLVM IL), as the lifter had to implement all side effects of the X86 instructions in a fake memory space (i used remill if i remember correctly).

Does this lifter have a similar implementation, or will a "add rax, 1" be lifted to something like "register1 += 1"?
>why else do you think they were able to be so cheap?

I thought it was because they were avoiding paying taxi taxes and avoiding medallion restrictions. And maybe also because the Uber/Lyft themselves were operating at a loss, and drivers might have been overlooking the money lost due to car depreciation.
Boeing is so far off the rails.

They need a reset.
Unfortunately the "official" taxis at SFO have been reduced to using the prime pick up real estate they've been given to scam people who don't know any better. I tried taking a taxi home from there and they quoted me a price more than double the cost of an Uber. I showed the driver the Uber price and told him I'd be willing to pay a little more than that, but his price was ridiculous. He didn't care and wouldn't budge on the price.

I'd guess this consumer-hostile arrangement is maintained via some kind of kickback up the ladder. It's pretty funny to see a long line of empty, desolate taxis sitting right outside the arrival doors, while if you walk 15 minutes to the far side of the terminal where rideshare has been relegated, it's bustling to the point that it's difficult for drivers and passengers to find each other.

So yeah, my view is you can say what you want about rideshare; taxis are far worse.

Thinking through the concept, I imagine that if the LLM was being used as an agent to execute commands and the attacker knew the tools it would interface with, this maybe would be possible. More interesting to me would be crafting an exploit for the underlying python/cpp being used to run inference and training the model on this. Then maybe drop a trigger which would generate the exploit and allow the execution of additional code. Now, maybe this isn't feasible through training. Maybe some clever payloads could be crafted and pulled in by the model during RAG to do this which seems like a more plausible method of attack to me.
Ive sort of managed to implement something to this effect in python, and from another comment made me consider yanking it out to its own library.

I made a process where args are now in a toml file, with some various data for different operations, like whether its available in the CLI or API library, its arg flags, help text required value type, etc. From that, i can generate argparse args, documentation, code for other things, etc. Right now im generating args, docs, and a js code block from the same structure.

Heres the toml file: https://gitlab.com/accidentallythecable-public/prover-suite/...

And some docs that were generated from that: https://gitlab.com/accidentallythecable-public/prover-suite/...

Maybe it will give you some ideas on yours
Yeah it's not clear. But it still remains an extremely viable possibility.

Additionally china has already surpassed the US in overall manufacturing.

In London I’ll just go into town and do high street shopping the old fashioned way. For anything too big or unwieldy then John Lewis is a safe bet and their return policy is great. In some cases I’ll just go direct to the brand or some other company I know has a good rep (like Scan for computer parts). For books I’ll browse a local book shop or Waterstones and if I leave empty handed then bookshop.org is my online backup.

The last few times I tried to buy anything expensive from Amazon, the item I received was faulty and I ended up just sending it back and buying a replacement direct from the retailer. I also don’t care at all about next day delivery since if I need something so urgently I can just go out and find it myself.
The world you describe is that which turned former communist countries in the underdeveloped entities they are today. By not respecting people’s right to own property you disincentivise them from adding value. The printing press analogy is relevant. Similar to how we made rules on how that tool can be used we now need rules in how to protect people’s creations from being taken away by force using ai. Physical property rules are not the result of “physics”. Are the result of evolving beyond the savagery of taking that which doesnt belong to you by force. If it wasnt protected by law it would be protected by the sword. I get that some people would prefer that type of living but by and large civilised humans dont.
As both a D3 enthusiast and an iOS dev I find this comment oddly compelling. In fact I have always felt SwiftUI to be reminiscent of D3 given they are both declarative frameworks — I always think about d3-selection every time I am chaining modifiers in a SwiftUI view.

I usually disambiguate the Observable website by referring to it as "ObservableHQ", also I thought they were more focused on the relatively new framework Plot than d3 but I agree trying to translate d3 examples from ObservabelHQ cells to plain ol javascript is a severe PITA.
Yep. As an Australian in Taipei today, what struck me most was the effort involved. People have to go to the physical voting location where they are registered, which for many can mean a long trip. Traffic was subsequently awful today, driving out to Taoyuan to visit a relative ended up being a 5 hour round trip, double the usual.

People go to the effort even though voting is not compulsory - unlike where I'm from. There is also no postal or early voting. Despite all this, the turnout is 70ish percent.
We're working on exactly this. You can already do this with Triplit but it's challenging to make an out of the box solution because each framework passes context/data different from server to client differently. There's a cool project called [Vike](https://github.com/vikejs/vike) that generalizes this pattern across SSR'd UI frameworks
I think having multiple processors is very smart exactly due to the outlined reason - making sure the interpolated result is safe for the system that will consume that string, be it a query language or json or something else.

f"" vs STR."" is really a quite minimal difference, and I think worth it. Having the "." operator here mean "interpolate RHS using LHS" seems a nice balance between terseness and explicitness.

As for "\{" being a divergent choice, frankly who cares.
Nearly 23 years ago:
‘A Boeing aerospace engineer presented a controversial white paper in 2001 at an internal technical symposium. The engineer, John Hart-Smith, warned colleagues of the risks of the subcontracting strategy, especially if Boeing outsourced too much work and didn’t provide sufficient on-site quality and technical support to its suppliers.

“The performance of the prime manufacturer can never exceed the capabilities of the least proficient of the suppliers,” Hart-Smith wrote. “These costs do not vanish merely because the work itself is out-of-sight.”’

I strongly agree. I fly a lot, far more than the average person. So I have a lot of preferences for which plane I'm sitting on.

Not surprisingly, it is originally from Bombardier.

The US, no the world, desperately needs more competition and other plane builders.
I give boeing a pretty hard time, but the 787 is great. It's far more comfortable than pretty much anything else out there. The windows alone make the experience better.

Simply not being "homeless and hungry" is also not synonymous with "living comfortably". In many US cities, $100K is not enough to have much financial security and without owning a home it is more difficult to have much personal autonomy.
