> I've donated more to Palestinian causes than you or almost anyone on the thread has.

It is solidarity that is in short supply.

> They go in and risk their soldiers to get terrorists, of which there are many.

Of course. All 2m of them at some point must be killed or punished because terrorists: https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/... Oh, and the violent Settlers... They are "security", too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duma_arson_attack No one mistake them for terrorists, please.

I mean, they've been calling for genocide since ever: When Genocide is Permissible, Times of Israel (opinion, 2014), https://archive.is/EuUdc

> The same thing happens in every war, including US wars. Remember Abu Ghraib?

One crime doesn't excuse another. Genocide has also happened, as has ethnic cleansing. Those are not the Pandora's Box the World wants to open again, and rightly so.
Seems like you have higher tendency to rejecting an argument because you don't like it's conclusion, which obviously irrational.
Nowadays we encode micro-stories in memes. We address a particular situation with the most relevant meme. We don't comprehend any overarching stories or belief systems apart from capitalism, free-market economics and technological progress. Instead of addressing structural societal problems, we treat mental health and classify new kinds of mental disorders.
Haha did you just peek in my fridge or how did you list them so precisely :) I will add to that list a piece of Ziger for when I feel spicy, a couple of goats because I couldn't make up my mind in the shop and some halloumi for a tasty lunch. Ah and there are 4 raclettes, due for consumption tonight. I really don't think this as a cheese "nerd" as I wouldn't dare giving advice or cheese reviews, but I should see myself as spoiled I guess.
Try not to be Jeffed
This is a really good in depth article but misses one thing so many projects miss: just sell to the civil government.

USG has so many programs (eg NSF grants) for tech and the disjointedness of civil agencies, IC, and state govts means they end up procuring a dramatically large landscape of software. The regulatory and compliance bar to entry is not nearly as high as you think especially if you are teaming your first few contracts. It is solid, guaranteed revenue to fund your project for usually 3-5 year commitments, and usually massively profitable.

I wish more open source companies took advantage of this, because usually fully private sector companies will end up baking open source libraries into their project and sell it at gigantic markups, pocketing everything.
eg: https://x.com/ssankar/status/1749202248700420587?s=20

When I was in govt I saw so much software that was basically open source maps + open source db for $12m. To give another frame of reference, I’ve seen OCR on PDFs carry a $2mm price tag, and a tool like weights & biases carry $30mm (all $ per annum).

There are even other incentives here beyond deploying software; for example prioritizing fixing certain bugs or security flaws in your software — eg IC would have paid big $$ for safetensors.

I’ll even highlight four ways Supabase could do this:
- Cybercom (direct)
- DOS (direct or teaming)
- VA (thru a PWS)
- direct to govcon software powerhouses

And three ways to do this:
- cold email GS 14s/15s or equivalent
- hire an ex-GS15
- find a solicitation that fits on SAM.gov then use GovPro.ai (white glove) or rogue (diy) to put together a response
Granian 1.0 Is Out
Here's the actual article from Sam Altman's blog - https://blog.samaltman.com/how-to-be-successful

This just some SEO-optimized rewrite from Business Insider.
https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/digestion-of-artificial-...

"Further, the team discovered that gut cells exposed to sucralose-6-acetate had increased activity in genes related to oxidative stress, inflammation and carcinogenicity. ‘It’s time to revisit the safety and regulatory status of sucralose, because the evidence is mounting that it carries significant risks,’ warned Susan Schiffman, the study’s corresponding author."
Pretty simple:

- If the OSS project doesn't have any money and nobody who makes any money uses it, then no bounty. Also chances are that researchers will not spend time finding security issues in all the unused personal projects under the sun. Precisely because they are unused.

- If the OSS project somehow has money, they should pay a bounty. But let's be honest, OSS projects usually receive contributions, not money.

- If the OSS project is depended on by a company that makes profit, then the company should pay a bounty. Especially when it is a huge company making a ton of profit.

Who cares if Microsoft have a security flaw in their own code or in code they depend on? They have a security flaw that can be exploited, it is a security problem for Microsoft. They pay security teams for that, and they should pay bounties just the same.
Since I originally posted this, I updated it to support running / streaming the output of an bash script, piping context / prompt as an argument.

I included examples of using both the OpenAI and Perplexity APIs.

Also added a demo. This is fun stuff.
This article attempts to abstract a deathbed renunciation from thin evidence.
On a side note, I read the book last year, and even though I thought it was a nice book, the amount of examples he gives in each part is oftentimes superfluous.

I think if he only gave one example at most per part, the book could have been cut down to like 30 pages and been much more enjoyable to read overall.

Did he write much about the pandemic? I could only find one paper. Did other anarchists? What was their view on the state, use of violence, social control, lockdowns, forced closures of services and shops, travel restrictions, forced vaccinations, freedom and anarchism? I imagine like with non anarchists that there was a wide range of views ranging from the pro-freedom to the pro-lockdown.

The only bit of evidence from Graeber apart from the linked paper was that he did go on vacation in 2020 around the time when many people might not have left their house, and when many people were forced by the state not to travel. This was of course before the vaccination issue. The paper seemed to indicate he viewed it as temporary and one that would provide lessons to people. Do anarchists hold the latter view now? What are these lessons? Is there reflection on the range of views and any conflicts it showed?

I find the range of responses given at the time when it was going on interesting and reflect the conflict between collective responsibility and freedom.

We need some of these things to evolve and interoperate. Nostr is nice but a bit stuck being a crypto block chain thingy for people who are really into that. It has no user base worth speaking off outside that crowd. Bluesky is mainly a thing that people talk about rather than join. And it has the Twitter founder backing it, which means it gets a lot of people at least a bit curious.

Mastodon is a bit like email. Not great but it works right now and is reasonably easy to get into and integrate with. The feddiverse is bigger than Mastodon. But it's mainly Mastodon. And Threads soon apparently. Millions of people daily active on it. Not quite critical mass yet but closer than most other things have gotten since Twitter started imploding. Good enough?

IMHO mastodon with signed content and per user key pairs would make a lot of sense and it should not be that hard to add it. Why is this not a thing? Just like using pgp makes a lot of sense for email. Except that never happened either. Already when I started using email in the mid nineties, some people were insisting on using pgp. That's thirty years ago and it was only some people. It remains very uncommon for people to use that. Key management is an obstacle. Techies get it. Everybody else doesn't.
The thing is that economy does not make sense without people. Economy is a way to allocate human work and resources, and provide incentives for humans to collaborate, factoring in the available resource limits.

Now if AGI make people's work redundant, and makes economy grow 100-10000x times... what does that measure mean at all? Can produce lots of stuff not needed or affordable by anybody? So we just hand out welfare tickets to take care of the consumption of the ferocious production, a kind of paperclip-maximizer is doing? I suggest reading the novel Autofac, it might turn out prophetic.

Will that "growth" have any meaning then? Actually the current we print money and give it to the rich economic growth is pretty much this, so with algorithmic trading multiplying that money automatically... have we already achieved that inflection point?

Example

User:
html The color and width of the sidebar.

GPT:
sidebarColorAndWidth

This is a suitable name for an HTML class or ID that could be used to style the sidebar element with CSS. The name combines the aspects being styled (color and width) with the element (sidebar), indicating that these styles will apply specifically to the sidebar's color and width.

The Post Office systems scandal demands a critical response
Example

User:
python brief the contents of the user's favorites list.

GPT:
summarizeFavoritesList

This function name, summarizeFavoritesList, is appropriate for a Python function aimed at summarizing the contents of a user's favorites list. In Python, the snake_case naming convention is typically used, where words are all lowercase and separated by underscores. The verb "summarize" indicates the action of condensing or providing an overview, which is the primary function of this method. "FavoritesList" clearly refers to the specific data it works on, which is the user's list of favorites. This naming strategy makes the function's purpose clear and understandable to other developers.
Yep, that's the case with 99% of self-help books. Even really fantastic books like Atomic Habits.

Now, I solely consume books like this by turning them into a PDF/txt file and uploading it to chatGPT. Then I just ask it for a chapter by chapter summary and give the book a skim.

You can finish the entire book in 30 mins and get 95% of the concepts.
Most of these self-help books are basically what happens if you take what could be a decent blog post and just blow up the word count until you can publish it as a book.
Why is the favicon Apple?
I've actually been thinking this a bit for one of my products.

I'm thinking: I will give it a closed source grace period, then, by that time, it should either be:

1. A dud, so close the offering, show the source.

2. Working well, in which I can open-source and rely on brand recognition to carry forward the business.

Releasing as AGPL3 at least means that I get some code contribution back, (right? Right?!)
> But wait, wouldn't someone with such great skills not be ousted in the first place?

Well no, you can still be fundamentally incompatible with the people you are working with. If you’ve surrounded yourself with people that see things your way you can force the issue though.
Patents don't always explain everything. Otherwise why would Apple want to to have meetings with Masimo in the first place if they could just rip off their patent directly.

It's a RP2040 don't expect an amazing performance or throughput.

2) RP2040 has 264kB of RAM, and a portion of it will be used by software.
3) Looking at the docs, seems like you either use dedicated protocol modes in which case you more or less get read bytes/write bytes commands. Or if you flash a one the RP2040 logic analyzer firmware ports you will likely only get basic edge/level triggers with all the protocol decoding happening in Sigrok on the computer. Some parts of docs mention macros which might be used for more complex interactions, but there are barely any details.
4/5) In the best case limited by USB FS speed 12Mbit/s (not even USB 2.0 HS) but I wouldn't be surprised if it was in many cases worse

Overall it's a jack of all trades master of none type of deal.

If you want a moderately performant logic analyzer, get a logic analyzer.
That's very good point :) Your lifestyle adapts to your environment, indeed.
Maybe I'm not getting it completely...

In the first example, he is using two pipes; in the second example, he is using one socket. And he complains that that they don't work the same!?!
> just sell to the civil government.

From what I've seen, governments and startups typically don't go well together. By the time the government bureaucracy has finally approved the contract, most startups would already have been out of money.
Coding with Eyes Closed
Chomsky is advocating for libertarian socialism, so he is calling for revolution. You probably don't even understand that you don't create libertarian socialism revolution through a coup, even though that's elementary knowledge. You prefigure libertarian socialism, which means you create here and know a network of parallel horizontal institutions that work according to libertarian socialism ideas, and this network is supposed to put up a fight against a current system, the bigger it is the more intense is the fights. That means that the libsoc revolution is actually happening at this moment all over the world, because almost everywhere you can find some libertarian socialist counter-institutions.
Probably just all of reddit. There are json dumps of all reddit posts and comments (up to 2022 or so), making it olive of the low-hanging fruit.
You have no idea what you are talking about, because you do indeed create anarchism through creation of mutual aid networks like for example Food Not Bombs.
You can look at the SGCL garbage collector for C++: https://github.com/pebal/sgcl. It works in a separate thread, is locks-free and never stops the world.
The reason AGI is often equated with runaway intelligence is that once you get to a space where your computer can do what you do, it can improve itself instead of relying on you to do it. That improvement then becomes bounded by processing power and time, and is constantly accelerating.
I would have said 1.3.
A brilliant idea but (a) why TTS and not STT+LLM and (b) why only coding? Note also that (c) you could extend it to other illnesses such as those with wrists.
The poster is talking about the subset of modern languages that have GC. They're not suggesting that only modern languages have GC.
Consider that Rojava is based on libertarian socialism, which is on many level quite similar to anarchism.
Hp is awful. I bought a printer from them. and according to the docs you have to install an app on your phone, to connect to the printer using wifi and give your printer wifi access. i had to look around the printer to look for an USB hole.. and those morons put a fricking STICKER over the USB so they try to push you into using wifi...

ripped that sticker away and using the printer using USB only.

then, the various software they try to push they try VERY hard to get you into instant-ink. if you do accept, your printer is then firmware-flashed to check and look for HP genuine cartridges. in order to avoid lawsuits in Europe, by default the printer DOES NOT check for those. they do IF you accept the instant-ink contract, which contains a clause inside where YOU accept, as the customer, to see your rights reduced by the firmware of the printer to be modified so it will no longer accept all cartridges, but only HP ones with a chip for authentication....

HP. there's a place in HELL just for you.
A VC is an extractor. From the point of view of someone who wants the thing they invest in and the people building that thing, they are a net negative. Literally the only situation in which they're even remotely desirable is if you can't eat at all. And then you accept them with the understanding that they're taking something away from you.
I have never seen a better advert for open source than this scandal.
Thankfully iOS users don't have to worry about any of that because Apple uses state of the art sandboxing that stops apps from stealing your data. I don't know what kind of safeguards you think the app store provides, but most of them are either provided by the OS itself, which would also apply to sideloaded apps, or they don't exist at all.
I love this topic, and I love Supabase. But I'd love to see a take on this from a purely business perspective, because so many companies lately have started out like this (Red Hat, Mongo, Elastic, Hashicorp, etc) and then walked it back after they became a success / went public.
The anarchist rebellion was the only anti-Franco side that managed to win some battles, it's demise happened because liberals and Stalinists preferred to betray anarchists and then get steamrolled by Franco.
I implemented my own packet capture stuff for Wireshark, the format is pretty straightforward. Use case was different and I reimplemented the rpcapd protocol but the packets themselves are easy to dump assuming you have access to the raw packet information (Ethernet headers and whatnot). You can of course also synthesize that information if needed.
It also powered Ricoh's RDC-i700 ( https://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/r_dc/rdc/i700/ )

Had fun almost 20 years ago with it during my internship at Ricoh : they were porting Linux on it (mostly as a research, the device was already nearing its EOL, but it had a touch screen with a stylus and 2 PCMCIA ports, which made it possible to put a WIFI card on it) and a made some small demonstration programs. Spent a lot of my time fighting to manage to make libs compile on it ^^;
Just wanted to thank folks, who helped me cross 500 Karma points :) ... It may not be a big deal for you all. But it seems to matter to me.
How is there not a single example on that website?
They seem to actually be very efficient per capita, it's mostly that anarchism never really was more popular than other "radical" ideologies like Marxism-Leninism or fascism. It was almost always less popular than those even where it was popular.
This is a myth that’s exaggerated by specific anecdotes around sole-source (which is where you work with the govt and they put out a notice saying they intend to go with you). Because of there not being constraints on time there and them needing to allow others to protest this makes timelines highly random.

Most are not like this, usually the government puts out solicitations (RFI/Q/Ps). They have a set deadline by which they have to answer your questions, a set deadline for bids, and a set deadline (usually 30d) by which they have to select someone.

You can also game this by emailing people around september, which is when they are getting ready to close their budgets. They need to spend any surplus, and I’ve seen many prominent civil agencies (won’t name and shame) throw around $1-2mm on a same-day contract with vague constraints.
Essex still has theirs, in the library: https://library.essex.ac.uk/paternoster
I made something similar that has locality https://wherewords.id but that sometimes gets criticised. Some people believe that not having close positions be similar makes it less likely to make mistakes. Personally I'm skeptical about this, but it's certainly an argument that gets made.
Hard disagree.

When you inject friendship in a work relationship, you are also injecting mechanics that are not work-related and can ultimately lead to problems in the work setting.

You can be pleasant around co-workers but being all out friends is dangerous.

I think the point is that a socket is doing both reading and writing using the same file descriptor, which is counterintuitive.
The fact that they are printing money doesn't make them a success. We aren't earning anything based on this money printing. We're getting a qualitatively worse product for more money, which we accept because in a lot of ways we've been conditioned to believe there isn't any other way.

I feel like you understand they're not a success, because you recognise that "you might not like them as a gamer". This is the target audience.
Yup, some flights are going to be extremely unlikely to change and are basically always 100% booked. QF10 London-Perth (Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner) will not be affected at all by a non-trivial percentage of people refusing to fly it. There's not enough supply on those routes and Qantas can fly whatever they want there.
Let me try a sanity check. I fly a lot for work, have eleven tickets booked now. There's nothing stopping the airline in one of those eleven cases.

For five flights, the airline would have a problem swapping out the planes because there's likely only one plane on hand at that airport at that time. For three, I think the population of the country would be quick to disapprove if the airline did it with any frequency. For two, the airline can't very well swap because it's that airline's biggest aircraft and the route is usually nearly full.
Why Hierarchy Is Fragile and Anarchy Is Antifragile
In the past, I failed as a manager to protect the good-hearted and passionate people in my teams. The upper management were abusing them at every chance. And their competence and dedication only made them less likely to be promoted because it would take multiple people to do their job. The typical lifecycle is the CEO/CTO/Mids burn the good ones to the point they quit (and then they might offer doubling their salaries or something). This happens both in startups and large orgs. It seems like an unwritten rule in tech management.

I'm no longer a tech manager.
When I made a location to word system I ended up having to spend a huge amount of time on the word list to try to remove words that tend to combine negatively. Partly because of that (but also because I went slightly more accurate than w3w and with a hierarchical encoding) I needed 4 words per location.

Still, I think it's a nearly impossible task.
Those who try may get 1.7%

Yes! Also in the spring, I see so many birds migrating land in flocks (eg, 20+ robins), and start overturning those leaves looking for food. The ground is still frozen, bugs are not flying, but there they are ... waiting to be consumed.

(Naturally the robins and such don't get them all, so it serves a dual purpose.)
