Sure, and at some level everything is processing. Even putting an object at the end of a FIFO queue has overhead.

I would be very hesitant to introduce a sorting proxy unless the need for it had been thoroughly demonstrated though. If your prioritization isn’t lightweight enough to do in the server it’s probably too heavy. Also you might accomplish it at the network level. Regardless your point stands that the work has to be done somewhere, but that doesn’t change the fact that fair queuing is a good idea for the majority of production services. It’s absolutely great when a misbehaving client only DoSes themselves and doesn’t affect anyone else.

Even psychopaths don't want to end up disgraced or in jail. So maybe it's the lack of punishment we dole out to these kinds of people.

Nowadays companies can seriously suffer by mishandling their "attitudes" over social justice issues, my gut reaction was that if that's true how could they get away with a plane falling out of the sky. Still a bigger deal than dozen people dying in cars with faulty fuel systems, perhaps just because of the optics.
It seems to be something new generations are increasingly doing. I remember someone saying that he was texting with his gen-z child, and the child felt like properly capitalized sentences sound like they are formally chiding you.

It calls it "likely" that climate change is inducing more cyclones and heavy precipitation but also "virtually certain" that it is causing a increase in frequency and intensity of heat waves. The specific editorial verbiage in The Verge is a bit reductive, but I'd say it's entirely fair.

Freedom of speech/expression does not protect defamation or similar misrepresentations of fact that harm people in any country I know of. Perjury, filing a false report, defamation, confidence-jobs, libel/slander/whatever, etc.

Releasing faked content that imply that what's being presented is true events? Stuff that's clearly harmful to a person? That's already illegal everywhere, but also functionally impossible to actually enforce. Whack-a-mole lawsuits for every viral faked video of Mr Beast or Elon Musk will never work, unless the US gov't creates something equivalent to the DMCA (laws defining how content hosts should police what they host) for this kind of actionable disinformation.

I imagine that in the US, works that are obvious satire or otherwise explicitly marked as satire will, as always, be protected by the Supreme Court. However, videos that simply use AI to fake events about real people? That will stand up, I think. IANAL.

But it doesn't matter. We've already seen that the laws on defamation don't actually work if the disinfo is diffused instead of having a clear identifiable target with deep pockets.

If Fox News posts a faked video of Greta Thunberg explaining her nefarious scheme to destroy the economy, I expect them to get sued again. But if such a video goes viral and ends up on every FWD from Grandma and every conservative facebook group and *chan? Nobody will face consequences.

Stuff like that is already happening *now*, even without AI. Trivial stuff like faking newspaper articles and then posting them as a screenshot gets passed around on X and FB and various messaging tools. Look how many people 100% confidently believe the US election was stolen, or climate change is fake, or vaccines are a nefarious scheme for mind-control, or whatever.
They aren't saying "don't talk about scientific conspiracies" and are instead saying "don't talk about conspiracies as though something being scientifically plausible means it is automatically worth discussing as a possibility."

Also, apply Hanlon's Razor(1) to this. Is it more likely that people made a stupid choice and gambled that everything would be fine? Or is it more likely that they completely understood what they were choosing and decided to implement a grand conspiracy which continued after they were no longer in power?

Because I see entries for twitter/bittorent/Collection1 which HIBP already informed me years ago. So either Naz.API is aggregate of leaks with new or not new info or 0t provides data from various leaks.

Yeah that's great that you were able to translate what your kid did to a video. I bet he was stoked!

A friend of ours helped his daughter get set up to do do Lego time lapses with an iPhone. Also a fun way to make something.

Pretty soon there will be AI tools where a kid can just type in a few things and get a game out of it. (There probably already is.) That'll be fun for them for a bit at least.

Just out of curiosity, what makes the development with React slow for you? Is it amount of code required to do something? The actual latency between change and visible output? The time it takes to get something running? The app itself being too slow (maybe from weight)?

Because of primeagen I've been bit buy the curiosity bug, so I wanna try it, but till I try it I am trying to figure out why the day-to-day experience is better. Because for me the biggest win is the idea of having thinner client logic. But I think I would use a React Server Component today to ease that issue.

But yea, genuinely curious. Thanks!

> “The results of the investigation: Ron was indeed murdered,” she wrote. “Not by Hamas. Think more in the direction of Auschwitz and the showers but without Nazis and without Hamas as the cause. No accidental shooting, no report, premeditated murder, bombings with poisonous gases.”
According to her, the IDF filled the tunnel in which he was held with gas, and his son was poisoned to death.

IDF is mowing down their own people, like they did before with the three escaped hostages trying to surrender waving white flags. I wonder if the use of chemical weapons in this case also constitute a war crime.
Twitch runs its own data centers and does not use AWS for the video streaming platform. There are probably some incidental expenses which are actually Amazon profits, but they’re much smaller than you’re making them out to be.

1. Yeah, cluster startup time can be not fun. Here are some solutions:
- pools (keeps instances around so you don't have to wait for the cloud to provision them
- serverless SQL warehouses (viable if you're doing only SQL)
- one job with multiple tasks that share the same job cluster. Delta Live Tables does a similar thing but with streaming autoscaling
- streaming: cluster never needs to go down. Can share multiple streams on the same cluster so they load balance each other

How should I take the comments about "the agony of being responsible for your own health" in their/my context?

> Could you pause to think why healthcare providers let insurance "negotiate" down the hospital bills of their patients? Why in the world would this be possible?

The insurer brings patients in bulk, and by coming to a blanket agreement to pay $x for procedure y, gets to cut out all the individual negotiation and collections mayhem that one-on-one payment arrangements bring. I get similar discounts if I order LEDs off AliExpress in quantity.

> The only real medical insurance is healthy eating and regular exercise.

Ooof.
Except it’s not. Shouting “fire” isn’t an action. And the metaphor was used to explain something (handing out anti-war pamphlets) which is clearly protected speech.

It’s described as an appeal to authority because generally, the quote is invoked to imply ~”well a Supreme Court justice said there are limits on free speech, so clearly we can limit this speech we’re discussing”.

There are well-defined exceptions to free speech in the US, with well established tests for assessing them. A rough overview can be found here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_ex...
> Real products built today have a finite amount of demand, and global cloud capacity is larger than that.

This isn't really true, and it's especially not true when specialized hardware comes into play. If you have a "web-scale" GPU workload, it's not unlikely that you'll hit resource availability constraints from time to time. The question isn't whether cloud capacity is larger than your demand for a particular resource, it's whether cloud capacity is larger than the aggregate peak demand for that resource. Cloud providers aren't magic. They engage in capacity planning, sometimes underestimate, and are sometimes unable to actually procure as much hardware as they want to.
As long as we are consistently emptying the queue of all orders due to be produced on the next shift, I think we are correctly sized while losing nothing (no load-shedding or turning orders away), even though we carry an overall non-zero backlog essentially permanently.

Having 48 hours of weekend where order volume is way down, but processing volume is constant is a key part of maintaining this equilibrium.
Personally, I'd find the completion output from `~-<Tab>` a worthy improvement, although admittedly with zsh you can configure completion to display both name and value for `$c<Tab>` too I guess(can't recall if that is possible with bash).

User names should not begin with a hyphen¹, so it shouldn't interfere with home directory references.

The child process point is an interesting one, I feel like you could workaround it by using a chpwd hook to export $dirstack and set it at startup(or a precmd function and $DIRSTACK if using bash). Something like `export DIRSTACK=${(pj#:#)dirstack}` in the hook and `dirstack=(${(ps#:#)DIRSTACK})` in the startup file. I'll concede this point though, as while a fun thought experiment the end result would be ghastly ;)

I do express it as a Christian, and I don't believe I could any other way. After losing my sister and my nephew six years ago (today would have been her 36th birthday, actually), I tried mightily to come up with any other way through, and it just didn't, couldn't, happen.

There's a line at the end of the book A Song for Nagasaki where he says, "For all that has been, thank you. To all that will be, yes."

For anyone reading, in case you want a whole order of magnitude cheaper, just go with Google Cloud TTS. For many voices, you get 1 million characters free per month, and even beyond that it's ridiculously cheap. Some voices do sound artificial, but many sound quite human - the only tells are the relatively consistent tone and section ends (no appropriate pauses).

I don't read long articles any more. I have a script that extracts the text, does TTS via Google Cloud, and adds it to my podcast so I can listen to it while driving. Been doing this for months and haven't paid a cent.

Apparently `security` is exactly that
* Glitches/drops frames frequently

* Fails to detect fingerprints most of the time

* Walks off tables (and dry hands) thanks to the atomically smooth surfaces

* Fails to detect rotation events

* Randomly detects false rotation events

* Turning off auto-rotate requires a rotate-dance to force a rotation to get detected, still completely fails sometimes.

* Which Google app does what, changes constantly for no reason (e.g. Nest vs Home, Hangouts vs Duo vs Gmail vs ???, Google Podcasts is going EOL, many more.)

* Camera adds AI artifacts to photos

* Google apps move their UI controls (my cheese) constantly for no reason

* Device search sucks. Exact matches for apps that are installed show the app result ~50% of the time, and web results the other 50%

* That gigantic camera slab on the back. WTAF?!

* Received SMS images from IOS users are potato quality

* Received SMS videos are useless

* Google deprecated security patches for my last Pixel after only 3 years. WTAF?!

There are many more gripes, complaints and even some actual defects.

I recognize that i-devices have problems too. I recognize that some of these problems are caused by i-devices. I recognize that the utopia has not arrived for anyone.

Unlike i-devices, the entire device (and the software on it) do not feel like they were designed by a group of people who care about how it feels to use it.

It's obvious that caring people were involved in the creation of these devices, but they were always overruled and limited in their ability to accomplish their goals by dipshits with too much power and no values.
Every auto manufacturer does the same thing. The Ford Pinto case was particularly poorly handled. But for any given car design, it's always possible to further improve safety by making it more expensive. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class is far safer than a Nissan Sentra by any objective standard. Should we tighten safety requirements so that every car is as safe as the S-Class, and costs about as much? Where do we draw the line on safety regulations?
