I had the same experience here in the Twin Cities during the fallout after George Floyd's murder. It was awful, possibly the worst experience in my life, all driven by Twitter. I finally deleted my Twitter account when Musk took it over, and my life has improved massively. I did register a Bsky account, but it immediately triggered the same awful feelings that having a Twitter account did, so I haven't looked back.

These things are absolute brain poison and I don't miss them at all.

The idea behind 'chaos engineering' is cool.
Here's how I see it. Maybe "the algorithm" was the problem initially, but the problem has since metastasised into every aspect of American culture, and so removing the original tumour is no longer as helpful.
Signed up day one for the waitlist. Still no invite (and it doesn't sound like I am missing out on anything anyway).

Even more, in north western Germany they have a dialect called "Plattdeutsch" that is closer to the Dutch language than to German.
>They're arguing against taking existential risks. AI being a laundering operation for copyright violations is certainly a problem. It's not an existential risk.

Give an example of an "existential risk". An AI somehow getting out of control and acting with agency to exterminate humanity? An AI getting advanced enough to automate the work of the majority of the population and cause unprecedented mass unemployment? What exactly are we talking about here?

I'm actually a lot more concerned about REAL risks like copyright uncertainty, like automating important decisions such as mortgage approvals and job hires without a human in the loop, and like the enshittening of the Internet with fake AI-generated content than I am about sci-fi fantasy scenarios.
Very interesting I liked reading through the thread
I looked at the iTerm2 example at [2]. The result was:

find ~/Library -name '*.binarycookies' -exec binarycookies {} ; |
grep -E "GitHub|Slack" |
awk '{print $NF "\t" $1}'

Isn't that wrong? I mean, set aside how the search pattern also matches "Slackware", but my reading of the binarycookies command at https://github.com/cixtor/binarycookies/blob/master/cmd/bina... says the output columns are:

expires domain path name value "Secure"? "HttpOnly"? comment?

so the awk command will get the cookie value (at $NF for most cookies) and the expires (at $1), when the request asked for the cookie name ($4) and value ($5).

The following (assuming no typo) looks like it should actually do the request:

find ~/Library -name '*.binarycookies' -exec binarycookies {} ; |
awk '$4 == "Google" || $4 == "Slack" {print $4 "\t" $5}'

OTOH, I expect the author of the tool to expect best how to parse its output, so perhaps I'm looking at the wrong tool?
>No Threads or BlueSky for me. I am OUT.

I still use Twitter some, but I had a similar experience with Facebook. One day I found myself lurking on acquaintance's profiles and thought: "what am I even doing?". I quit and never looked back.

Problem is, I find Twitter really useful. But you have to keep your stream focused (in my case tech and data). It's really easy to doom scroll. In fact that's kind of the design intention.
Here are some early Startup related ideas, links, tools that I gather to not repeat my answers to founders asking for them. For Legals, please go to https://docs.inboxstartup.com/operate/legal

Quite a lot of the founders from the mentioned links/startup/companies are friends or part of a cohort. This is a like an Inbox and I might need to keep cleaning them up.
Yeah Microsoft is definitely not much better than a walled garden for much of their technology.

I was privileged(?) to have access to source under license for years, contracting with a company that ported Windows to various industrial platforms. So my view is similarly colored.

Linux is definitely the king, no argument there.
But it is a lie. Your own linked source says it too:

> When Moseichuk asked the party leader why Ukraine did not agree to the offer, the he stated that Ukraine "had no confidence" in the Russians since they were ready to promise anything for Ukraine to agree.

> "We could not sign something, step away, everyone would relax there, and then they would [invade] even more prepared – because they have, in fact, gone in unprepared for such a resistance," he said. "Therefore, we could only explore this route when there is absolute certainty that this will not happen again. There is no such certainty."

The story about Ukraine and Russia having reached a deal, only to be abandoned under Western pressure, is and remains a lie repeated by Russian propaganda machine with the goal of painting Ukrainians as warmongers while Russia keeps shooting missiles at Ukrainian cities.
I reckon you’re a manager or VC if you think it is just a matter of translating between lanagey
Personally I agree. Maybe I'm a relatively big and strong person but weight has very little impact on me. Sure, if I am trying to one-hand it is nice, but that is a pretty rare scenario for me. If the laptop is in a desk or in a bag weight makes a very, very small difference. However every bit of saved volume is appreciated each time I put it into my backpack.

Although for me there are still bigger priorities than size such as I/O, battery, durability and upgradability. But I'll take extra weight over size any day.
I use pip inside docker and it just works.
Why do they still have these meetings, as pretty much everyone seems to hate the WEF, where a bunch of unelected leaders meet to talk about humanities future?
Not sure I understand the question.

Croatia is a small country and we don't have vast amounts of content in our own language, so when I search I often get bombarded with machine translated content from Russian origin. I suppose it is Russian, since there are images with text written on them that is in cyrillic.

If it were Serbian (they also use cyrillic) there would be no need for translation since we basically speak the same language and a lot of Serbian content is in latin alphabet also.

No, you are the one advocating for draconian laws and bans. It is your responsibility to prove the potential danger.

A close family friend had a history of mental illness and schizophrenia on their mothers side. This person took shrooms at 16 and it started a schizophrenic episode/psychosis. It would’ve likely happened a little later in life but the shrooms kicked it off.
> * When they sold out in '97, domestic toasters had been infeasible for years already. *

I’m not gonna claim to know anything about toasters or manufacturing, but I’d hypothesize that selling American made toasters to the masses is no longer feasible. Most people just want to buy a cheap toaster and don’t care where it is made. So if you were a large company selling to the masses, that business model doesn’t work. But that doesn’t mean you can’t make a much smaller business selling to toast enthusiasts today. I just think it’s largely about branding. Can you make a superior, long, lasting toaster that will appeal to toaster enthusiasts? And can you do it for a price that is in the realm of reasonable? I can imagine buying an overpriced toaster that will last me 30 years for $300 (I personally wouldn’t but if we’re into toast, maybe). But I wouldn’t spend $1000 on it. On the other hand, what do I know? There’s plenty of fancy coffee equipment that sells for more than that, although I’d guess that the coffee snob market is much larger.

Google asked me a question… I could solve it in O(n²) but not in O(n).

After, with calm, talking about it with a friend who is a professor at university and has a phd in mathematics, he reflected that since my problem only used positive numbers, I could have exploited a certain property and simplify my algorithm.

So in the end, if you're lucky and have faced that particular completely artificial problem before, you can do it.

Otherwise you need some calm to think, and you can't do that while there are two people harassing you because you named your variables with a name they don't like, and a clock is ticking.

In the end you're selecting for "has this person heard of this problem or a similar one before" and not "can this person think".

It may be that the entire performance including the logic is satisfactory.

Or it may be that the conditions to reach that logic are too rare to make the time to measure and optimize worthwhile.

In any case, I understand it as: if you're not bothered about measuring the performance of something, it may be that you don't need to optimize it.
Is anyone dealing with a large volume of vulnerabilities and getting tired of vulnerability scanners giving mundane results and not explicitly saying what to fix for your environment? We are looking for beta users to try out our MVP; it's all based on open-source too, and we are offering the service for free! There are actual experts with over 20 years of experience who will look through the vulnerabilities and prioritize according to your environment at the end of our MVP to make sure the user doesn't waste more time investigating solutions and can go back to working on their product. Automating is nice, but you do need a human to look through at the end we feel

apologies for hijacking your post OP but I am curious if people flocking to such a post would be interested in being beta users for us too
"organized intelligence is not – as commonly thought – an invention of the modern industrial state"

Venice was a prototype of the modern state - another example is the Arsenale where ships were built in insane numbers using conveyor-like process and standardised part numbers.

"At the peak of its efficiency in the early 16th century, the Arsenal employed some 16,000 people who apparently were able to produce nearly one ship each day, and could fit out, arm, and provision a newly built galley with standardized parts on a production-line basis not seen again until the Industrial Revolution."
You don't need to measure your impact. It's enough to describe it. "Helped a large client improving their web presence for achieving increased conversion rates." Of course, you were part of a team and of course, you can't show precise statistics. But if they existed, would those stats be worth anything to a recruiter? Your next job will be different in many aspects. No recruiter will read some stats and say, "oh, that person's work increased the company's revenue by 1.5%, so we expect the same result at our company."

In a CV, the impact you made is a story to tell, not a number to calculate.

This is only correct if all of the companies making thicker laptops had no marketing budgets. They did, of course, so clearly the reason consumers overwhelmingly picked thinner devices is unlikely to be as simple as “they were brainwashed walking by an Apple Store”.
I'd like this to go one layer deeper... Simulate a network with a variable latency, and see how typical TCP implementations behave over it.

Far too many realtime things, like games and videoconferencing (both of which frequently use TCP, despite it being badly suited to the application), perform really badly when the bandwidth increases and decreases, for example as I walk around a building with wifi and pass concrete pillars.

I want not a single dropped frame in those circumstances. Sure - you can have some lower res frames, but I don't expect to see 30 frames dropped in a row and a big glitch.
Maybe from a VC business standpoint. But I'd disagree as far as "indie" (small cap) businesses go.
Anecdotally, I dreamed once of living in a hut on a beach, wearing a loincloth. And my wristwatch communications device that projected holograms in 3D color about any subject I wanted to know about.

Some mashup of ever-diminishing resources e.g. energy and materials, with a world where technology reduces the size and cost of certain devices to near zero.

A short story in there somewhere.
Exactly, and that's how ideas get off ground.

> unable or unwilling to do the work to avoid it

The problem is that it's rare to write code which uses no third-party libraries, and these third-party libraries (most written before Java virtual threads ever existed) have a good chance of using "synchronized" instead of other kinds of locks; and "synchronized" can be more robust than other kinds of locks (no risk of forgetting to release the lock, and on older JVMs, no risk of an out-of-memory while within the lock implementation breaking things), so people can prefer to use it whenever possible.

To me, this is a deal breaker; it makes it too risky to use virtual threads in most cases. It's better to wait for a newer Java LTS which can unmount virtual threads on "synchronized" blocks before starting to use it.
Poetry install tensorflow does not work for me. There's lots of other folks with this issue as well.
I recently returned from a trip to Venice. I highly recommend visiting in late November/December as the atmosphere is very different from the more crowded times of year. Locals will tell you it's busy all year round now, but low season still has a lot of appeal.

Before visiting I ready City of Fortune [1] for a high level overview of Venetian history and it is a truly enthralling read that covers most of Venice's timeline. I also came across several articles by Ioanna Iordanou.

I would be interested in better understanding what life was like in Venice from 1800 to the present day, but I haven't found much contemporary research on the Venetian economy and society in that time, including the run up to the Fall of the Republic of Venice.

The EPC has the overview I was expecting. I had expected this to be linked from the estate agent's site, and didn't realise there was a place to search for them. (I no longer live in Britain.)

To be fair these drives are encrypted with HSM (Secure Enclave) keys anyways. So even if you could extract them they would be useless. One could argue that for most users making 6 digit pins secure is more valuable than being able to recover their data from a broken device.

Sure it's made to work along with a ctag file but it's totally native (ie no plugin) if point vim to one, ctag is only crafting the file.

That's the wealth distribution problem I was talking about.

I bet many would rather do hiking, writing or going to the cinema if they were paid the same. And since their job is useless already, it wouldn't change much. It wouldn't actually be a loss for anyone compared to the situation now (modulo the price of the machines and their maintenance, which is much less than a cashier's salary). However, replacing them with machines and giving them less money is a win for the shareholders, and that's what counts most in our system.
A better strategy: just delete your account. I promise you won't miss it after a week.
I have put this argument to the test. Admittedly only using the current state of AI, I have left an LLM model loaded into memory and waiting for it to demonstrate will. So far it has been a few weeks and no will that I can see: model remains loaded in memory waiting for instructions. If model starts giving ME instructions (or doing anything on its own) I will be sure to let you guys know to put your tin foil hats or hide in your bunker.

No buddy. Read what I'm writing. It's pretty simple. The US (and UK) and Russia are warmongers. Ukrainians are victims of BOTH. They are essentially fucked because their leadership is either Russian puppets (past) or US puppets (present). As of today Ukraine probably lost over half a MILLION soldiers. Soon combined losses of all warring parties will be over a million. It is VERY sad. Fuck war and anyone who wishes it. Goodbye
NGINX is a native C implementation, so it has to be carefully written to use the OS's native high-performance IO and native OS threads.

The purpose of project Loom is to abstract that away from Java application code. The runtime can use the most efficient IO for the given platform (ideally io_uring on Linux or IOCP on Windows, for example) even if the application code calls the old blocking File.Write(). The application can then use simple APIs and code patterns, but still get massive performance.

With Loom, you can easily have 20,000 virtual threads servicing 20,000 concurrent HTTP requests and each "blocked" in IO, while only using, say, 100 OS threads that are polling an IOCP. A normal Linux box can typically only handle around maybe 1000 threads across all running processes.
Fair enough. But for typical C++ GUI desktop apps I will always prefer Qt + Msys2 over anything Microsoft has to offer.
This is junk analysis because there will always be signals that randomly correlate. There are a lot of signals out there that we can plot pairwise and the axises here aren't identical. All this says is that long term interest rates formed a hump shape, and crime formed a hump shape. There are so many hump shapes it is just a matter of finding 2 humps that peaked around the same time.

Not only that, but in this case peak interest rates were around the infamous 1970s era when a lot of policies change. So even if these are related, there is probably a hidden variable that a lot of policies changed at the same time and the two series still aren't causally related. There was likely a policy refresh on how crime gets handled at the same time as there was a policy reset on how interest rates were managed.
Oh, right, I forgot about that possibility...

It's one of the strangest things about the meta-conversation regarding social media. The "left" (I'll use quotes because these things aren't strictly defined) thinks that, for example, anti-immigration sentiment or support for Trump comes from "Russian bot farms" fooling the public. It's unfathomable to some people that smart, good, hard-working people could hold those views.
