someone filed a complaint to Njalla about unconsensual nudity being hosted on nitter.net, with a link that actually came from another instance.

https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1150#issuecomment-18...

Extremely not-encouraging.

I didn't think much of it when I got an email with the subject "Njalla: New Message", and the body just being a link, while traveling.

This is not what I would call professional behavior by Njalla. Apparently everything they send you, including "hey try our new iOS app in the app store!", comes in the form of "Njalla: New Message <hyperlink>". So you have to click-login-read every one of those "new app in the app store!" spams in order to not miss the "hey we might suspend your domain" messages. And of course you can't write spam filtering rules for any of this since it's all forced through a browser flow instead of your mail client. Great.

And this login-to-read-the-link is with the credentials that control transfers of your domain -- heaven forbid you might not want to keep those on every machine from which you read email...

I signed up to Nostr and it feels like an early version of the internet.

Being supposedly uncensorable, there is the same toxic content you'll find in the mainstream social networks e.g. Twitter. But unlike on those platforms, it's not algorithmically boosted as "engaging content". Only the small minority that actively seeks it out will find it.

On the mainstream sites I'm being regularly exposed to Russian/Chinese propaganda and content from other groups I did not sign up for. So far on Nostr, I'm getting none of this after following a few tags.
not much of an opponent if you buy into it? These views come from people who haven't worked with and don't really understand the domain. OP states they only tangentially work with ML things, sticking more to the domain one might understand as traditional statistics.

Because I got to where I am by saying "restaurants near me" or "ice skating near me" and I don't know the way back. Also when I'm in a different state for a few weeks I sometimes set "work" to the place I'm staying.
I'm sure people who are into retrocomputing or spicy food or any other topic could tell you why they prefer that to something more mainstream. Whether or not you would agree, you could recognise that they had different opinions. The issue I had with your comment was writing off k as simply an inferior version of numpy etc rather than trying to consider why people like it, and what it may even do better than the mainstream alternatives.
I can almost promise you that if those terms ever become mainstream, their meanings will be totally different then what they are today.
Extraordinary Fidelity: The Story of John Downey and Richard Fecteau (2007)
This post seems to be trapped in the line of thinking of 'to be intelligent it must replicate human' which really isn't and hasn't been the goal of AI in a long time from what I can tell. Why limit ourselves to doing something we're already good at? why not build things to do things that are both intelligent and excel at tasks we aren't so good at, or don't like doing?

BIG NOTE there is no universally agreed upon and useful definition for intelligence, so discussing intelligence is generally a bad time.

It is definitely a variant of the 737, but tacking on those extra large radius engines that the original airframe wasn't designed for and 737 pilots weren’t trained for virtually made it into a new plane.
I am not the OP, but I disagree here. Happiness that we find in our social life, our friendships, family and relationships is not the same or swap-able with our career. This is something I learned the hard way, being drunk on startup cool-aid in the early life till it wore me down.

Friendships or other things I mentioned: not that everything is smooth, but there is a sense of comfort, pleasure, joy that just does not go away with more time invested. Because I am not looking for returns. Just being around is bliss.

Bumming out of a beach is very underrated. Going to a movie date is underrated. This is where my happiness lies. Then on top I write code now again, not to gain startup throne but because I like learning and typing out my thoughts in code.

Precision of language, definitions, and meaning seems to dilute as words gain more widespread usage. Eventually the word becomes a hollow symbol meaning multiple different things to different people, with the intersection between those meanings growing ever narrower.

Really sad day for manga enthusiasts on Android. Tachiyomi was one of the most usable apps to read comic books and manga through local source and Komga. It is extremely easy to use and was literally the app to stay on Android.

I recently tried asking a question like that. Easy but effective optimization techniques for programming languages. Hell I included an answer myself and was going to add more. The result wasn't pretty. While I was typing up a second answer, the question was downvoted, closed, someone welcomed me to the site and then deleted the comment, the answer I included with the post was downvoted not for being wrong but for "enabling" a bad question, I got told to get out and go blog about it instead and then a few days later the entire thing was deleted like worthless spam.

> You can still feed the Dockerfile to docker build via STDIN.

but you'd then have to work out how to "filter out" the bash commands inside this bash script to make it a valid docker file.

Unless of course, you entirely store the docker file contents inside heredocs. That works fine, but it's not as "cool" as "executing" dockerfiles as a script.

I think you're correct for D, but for Rust, we'll see. It's a very slow moving industry. I do C++ work all day (embedded) and while there's no current plans to move to Rust (which means it won't happen within the next 3-5 years), I could see it occurring someday.

We're finally (usually) allowed to use C++17. I had to use C++03 at times circa 2019 - we're finally done with that. It's _really_ slow moving.

X.Org. (if you know what X is, you are familiar with X.Org, which is a fork of XFree86)

Chromium is a fork of Webkit which is a fork of KHTML. If you use a web browser, that browser is either Firefox or a fork (of a fork) of KHTML. I don't know what percentage of Chromium/Webkit users have heard of KHTML, but I'd recon it's on the order of 1%.

mplayer used to be a very popular, very good media player, mostly for linux but it was cross platform. Development sort of died. These days its fork mpv is much more common.

There used to be many different forks of GCC. In 1997, all of these developers merged their forks together into the EGCS project. This project proved to be very active and very...good. It was so good that the FSF halted development on mainline GCC, forked EGCS into the new mainline GCC, and restructured the community built around the ideas of the EGCS community. If you use GCC, this is the version you use; forked from GCC into EGCS, forked from EGCS back into GCC.

MacOS' kernel is a fork of FreeBSD. Much of its userspace is a fork from ... somewhere. If you use MacOS it's forks all the way down.

Kindle is forked from Android and/or linux and/or... well it's complicated. Amazon forked a lot of stuff.

Much of the Android ecosystem has been forked. OpenSSL was forked into Tink, for instance. Again, complicated, lots of forks.

Ubuntu is a fork of Debian.
GP completes the holy SO triptych.

One person asks for the specifics of an obscure technical thing. A second person gives a detailed answer with a ton of explanation which thoroughly answers the question. A third person projects their frustration with thorough answers onto this interaction, and laments that nobody gives good answers anymore dagnabit, while missing that their proposed answer is in fact a terrible fit for the question that was asked.

I have developed the a super effective prompt that saves me a ton of time working with SQL:

What is wrong with this code? Assume the tables exists.

And then I don't have to spend the time to find out that I placed the join after the where clause or that I should use one = sign when checking for equality or whatever.

You are welcome to your belief of course, I work as a consultant and if we are more effective than others we get more business.
while slop probably plays a part, there is a lot going on that is now possible that wasn't previously. Many of the things we take for granted wouldn't be possible without the extra memory. Do I need 16gb to read text and view images? no. I don't even need 1gb, but I do need that extra ram if I'd like to listen to music while I write text that is actively spell checked, while searching my open document against ones i've already written to look for reusable content while leaving my spreadsheets open, browsing with multiple tabs open, while handling some beefy data file a colleague has sent through, all of which sounds like a reasonable workday for many. Multitab browsing alone isn't some massive stroke of genius that no one had thought of prior, while clever it was also not present earlier because of technical limitations.

Sure I don't need 32gb to do all that, but who knows what fun things will come from having that extra budget?
thats probably true, but sometimes, their meaning can become almost the opposite... take hacker for example... I think that it started as something good.

I am aware of trademark becoming generic words and losing protection. But that is a process of a trademark becoming so wide spread in usage that courts find that it is just a common word now. Courts look a common usage, not a tally of all the times the trademark holder didn't defend the trademark.

A trademark might still be generic-ified even if the holder attacks every use of it.

If Valve ignores this one, and decides to attack some other project selling something with a Portal trademark on it, the courts won't look at this case and say "but you didn't do anything that time".

The whole premise of "defend it or lose it" is a misunderstanding of how trademarks becoming generic.

-edit- I realized that part of it is that you are conflating "the big PE firms" and "all of PE". I guess the TL:DR of my comment is: don't' do that. The big firms are not all of PE and you should probably avoid ascribing what they do to all of PE as a category. Ok, the rest is my original comment.

You just can't generalize like that. My step dad was brought on as the CEO of a small Ag manufacturing company when it was acquired by a PE firm. He is an engineer. He's been in charge now for close to 10 years. He has developed new products, invested in procedures and protocols, and in general focused on an increase in quality and repeatability of procedures while bringing new products into development. He cares deeply about the company (and has in fact tried at least once to buy it from the PE firm)

This might very well be a non-central example (I certainly don't have industry wide stats to argue either way), but the point is that there is nothing inherent to PE that means companies have to be cut to the bone and stripped for parts. Yes, it absolutely can and does happen, but it's not because it's PE that's doing it.

I'm fully willing to believe that the big PE firms that everyone thinks of when they make statements like yours have exactly the track record you claim. But it's not because they are PE. Smaller PE firms like the one my step dad works for is proof-by-existence that responsible PE is not an oxymoron.

Frame Relay was horrible, and the bane of our existence at the ISP.

We had a wide variety of customer connections, from dialup to an honest-to-God 14.4Kbps digital leased line, to 56K and T-1 leased lines and some T-3s in our backbone.

Our manager was a huge proponent of SMDS; in fact the SMDS diagrams made liberal use of the "cloud" icon to depict connections going in and out of the telco's switched network. He was able to derive great reliability and value from SMDS connections, and they were probably our fastest links available.

By contrast, Frame Relay was some sort of a hack to avoid having a "real" 56K line run to a customer, and they went down all the time. They were so unreliable, we could hardly stand it. The FR customers became quite disgruntled.

This was in the mid-90s. I don't know if FR improved after that time or got a better reputation elsewhere. But we would definitely rather not have it around.
Sure! But the GP was stating that unprivileged white males were applying, but being filtered out. There's a difference between being underrepresented due to a bias, and underrepresented because your cohort has opted out.

Good luck keeping up with and filtering through that deluge of mostly shit research. The ArXiV feeds of even semi-popular fields like computer security is mostly full of garbage that you would never see in a good conference.
The paper's supplementary materials (available from [0]) include an extended case report, which seems pretty interesting.

> [After doing a gene sequence of the patient, we] identified no structural and sequence variants in genes known to be associated with [systemic lupus erythematosus] or diseases of immune dysregulation. However, we detected a [single allele mutation] of unknown significance in [the patient] and her father who had not yet come to medical attention.

The paper seems to be a deep-dive into exploring whether this single mutation is sufficient to explain the micro-characteristics of lupus and concludes that it does.

Given that this mutation was not documented in any public or intra-institution databases, I would expect that this is NOT an explanation for all cases of lupus. It's possible that, like many other genetic- and developmentally-linked disorders, lupus is a cloud of similar outcomes due to many different aberrations.

The biochemistry in the supplementary materials goes WAY over my limited knowledge, but it appears that the researchers went from "this is a weird DNA sequence" to actually manufacturing and testing the (incorrect) proteins in order to conclude that this patient's case of lupus is due to this single mutation. That seems like absolute wizardry. (But I'm also an outsider extrapolating from the linked article and the supplementary materials of the paper.)

I just compared the 2 apps on the app store. Seek claims the only data used is location and media (images/video). Merlin links identifiers, location, usage data, and contact info.

So, one is either not listing all of the data they harvest from you, or one is a really cool app. I have a feeling both apps are not being fully honest.
> Russians like poetry that actually rhymes

That's true of most people, but it seems unlikely to explain why they like particular poetry in a foreign language. It won't rhyme in translation.

It is completely different.

You seem to have selectively ignored everything about this discussion except "unhelpful subject line". All of Amazon's emails have a complete body with all the important text instead of just a "click link to read". Spamfiltering against this works very well.

I agree that rootless containers and isolated namespaces are critical security features. But with docker rootless, this is also possible and not complicated. You just have to do it. I have written a blog post to set up Mastodon in docker rootless with all the best practices currently available [1].

The benefit with sticking with docker is that accessibility is better: More communities, more blogs, broad availability of docker compose configs, more peers knowing how to use it etc. In the end, both podman and docker run processes in isolated namespaces on the host.
