> Ah the old 'its the os fault' excuse. Classic.

The problem wasn't Solaris. The problem wasn't x86. The problem was Cantrill & Co.'s expectations. The industry began moving to availability in software instead of hardware back in the early 2000s. Premium iron vendors fell on hard times because of this. They had a premium product with a premium price, but demand for it dried-up. Cantrill came from one of those companies, and is right to think commodity x86 hardware is crap in comparison, but it doesn't matter for the mid-tier and below markets anymore. They've already cleared this obstacle.

> That is also why google...

What Google does is irrelevant to this discussion. That is not 0xide's market. Businesses seriously competing in the compute space are going to vertically integrate as much as possible--not just motherboards and lights-out management, but all the way down to the CPU: Google's Cypress & Maple, AWS's Graviton, Apple's M1. Switching to 0xide kit is not vertical integration.
Scientists find link between brain imbalance and chronic fatigue syndrome
>Scientists have uncovered compelling evidence for abnormalities in the brain and immune systems of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME).
(1) crimes happen, and have happened forever

(2) historically people simply did not create a huge written record (texts etc) detailing their crimes, so there’s no change in available information

(3) even before any of this tech police are not good a solving crimes, and generally rely on errors by criminals

(4) and finally. Your argument is definitionally the slippery slope and is the reason the 4th and 5th amendments exist in the US. Your argument is trivially extended to literally everything: why shouldn’t all communication be routed through government servers to find evidence of crimes? Why shouldn’t all device locations be available to police at all times? Why shouldn’t you have video and audio recorders in every home (most child abuse, the quintessential horror) is committed by family members in the home.

Having actual privacy does not result in crime, and mandating that privacy should be illegal in only a single case is clearly nonsense. Either you have a right to privacy or you don’t.
Court requires "what was said" for evidence as in old telcom CALEA, whereas Signal via sealed sender basically guarantees the "Spirit of CALEA".
I already know exactly what the issue is. I don't need your condescension.
It's cognitive dissonance to such an arrogant and ignorant degree it's turning out to be the best sunlight we've ever needed on the situation. No one is arguing a balanced or logical alternative. Every argument ignores the entire landscape of issues and reduces it to 'what's yours is mine but what's mine is not yours'..... They're arguing to keep the toys in their playground. Even if it's not their toy. It's 'in the world' so we're free to take it.

Ok! I appreciate this insight. At this point I'll be 'scraping' everything from tech and fight this in court with their own words.
You're arguing facts not in evidence. It's not even a very compelling slippery slope fallacy.
Thanks for fleshing out my point a bit. I completely agree. Centralized platforms always drove culture, but when that was broadcast (emphasis on the first syllable), it was a) visible to, (potentially!) comprehensible, and able to be influenced by outside observers, and b) sub-cultures developed outside the opticon's view. Now the vast majority of social activity belongs to a few opaque platforms, with consequences we don't yet know, but already seem sinister.

I'm honestly more worried about how that affects adults than kids! Young people, mainly because they go to school, have more (albeit enforced) opportunities for offline socialization. As a parent, I know I'll have at least some control over my kid's online activity for a while (and once he finds a way around my router rules he'll be a journeyman hacker, so that's cool too), but there's no brake on twenty-somethings (or thirty- or forty-somethings) being pulled down the dark paths you mention.

As for kids aspiring to be YouTubers or whatever? Eh, they're just chasing the high-prestige choices within their cultural ambit. It's no different than wanting to be an athlete or rock star once was. They'll find (as we all did) that actually doing so takes a ton of hard work, and a bit of luck; some will dedicate themselves to it, and learn plenty (through either success or failure); most will drift towards different dreams.
We're talking about people with EG civil engineering degrees masterminding these plots. The middle-eastern terrorists of yesteryear are not necessarily uneducated. Osama Bin Laden was educated as an engineer in the US and likely would have thought through the endgame and implications of such a plot well before executing it.

These people are not stupid and would likely know what they are getting in to. I'd be more worried about a single unhinged person, but that's why we have security guards, and the problem would likely solve itself in short order in that case.
Thanks for the link. How does this compare to the analogous situation for SSD access? I know there are also userspace IO stacks for similar reasons, but it seems like SSD-via-kernel is way ahead of network-via-kernel in the sense that it adds less latency per operation over the best userspace stack.
1. Go look up how relevant guns are to overall crime rates in the US.

I think the recall is dumb. If you are not paying attention and have an accident, then you are at fault. You already have to click-through agree to use the feature properly, and Tesla has an interior camera to capture a photo of the person agreeing and telemetry to send it to the mothership. For that matter, Tesla could make you read the waiver on camera and capture that before enabling autopilot or FSD.
> Next phone will be a Pixel, so we'll see.

Pixels don't have call recording enabled (in most regions?). It's frustrating that I'm forced to use a third party app to provide a feature that the phone app should have built-in, but Google decided I can't be trusted with.

EDIT: It used to be geo-blocked, now it's "This feature isn't available on Pixel."
...because who could love a technological monopoly more than a huge electrical power utility?
I'm in the US. When I was obtaining medical power of attorney for a family member my attorney advised me to not opt for organ donation because if they don't use the organ, the donor or the estate will be charged for the removal, storage and disposal. This should be in bold print at the top of the form. If donation drops as a result maybe the medical establishment shoudn't do that.
It would be extremely irresponsible to use these current tools as a real customer service agent, and it might even be criminally negligent to have these programs dispense medical care.
I would say Rails is still in its Heyday. I've been writing ruby since 1.8.7 and I'm constantly surprised by the frequency of major releases of rails, and the backward compatibility (Rails 3 -> 5 was hard). I completely agree about the discipline required to keep a large project clean, although I find that true across the board with large codebases.
Well again: if it looks good it is good.

When you are not creating assets for games or close-up details it can still be very usefull to take a couple of pictures of a tree stump and use it in your environment.
> I believe we've proven that anti-competition regulations don't work

You have? How? You barely have any. And the ones you do have you rarely enforce.

> Trying to protect consumers by breaking up monopolies and promoting healthy market competition will see you leaving office in a hurry.

That sounds like a flaw in your political/electoral system not in anti-competition regulations.
It seems very easy to check no? Look at the names in the paper and check where they are working now
So where I can download Chrome for iOS with full PWA support?

Signal is actually pretty good for the occasional "cross-iOS/Android" video chat. Can't use iOS Facetime, don't want to use $META, google/meet is OK, but isn't quite as straightforward as "@Signal => CALL_ME".
I think in your example the evil villain set out to crush a man's spine, not to develop an exoskeleton to help people walk? And they are introduced upfront as an evil villain.

Wouldn't this be a more appropriate analogy:

If a person decides to will an exoskeleton into existence to help people walk, and builds a techno-capital machine capable of supporting the team necessary make it happen, is the act of building the exoskeleton not evil?
This is exactly what happened. Both Michael and Ryan have expressed this countless times in many talks that a lot of the API churn in early years was because they were learning just like everyone else.
Congrats on launching.
It feels very natural and the demo call was good.
This is hardly a drop in the bucket compared to what was paid for PPP loans. It can't even remotely be compared to the actual corruption.

They do, but unlike a known license, these terms are custom and non-standard. Which means I would guide my commercial clients away from this particular model.

Is ADHD really the highest source of stress in your life, or is wage employment? I mean, you put your finger on the issue right here:

> Interest-oriented motivation is incompatible with employers’ needs for predictability.

I'd challenge the word "needs" though. They want things. They are happier with predicable mediocrity than they are with unpredictable flashes of discovery. You could say that this is an anxiety disorder on the part of the investor and managerial class. But of course, they are not disordered; you are; that is the nature of the power relation.

I could construct an analogous sentence:

"Likewise, interest-oriented sexual arousal is incompatible with the breeding requirements of the Glorious Leader. We have pills to bring on appropriate moods in the females."

This sentence triggers the correct, disgusted reaction, because we respect women's reproductive capacity as sacred. We do not hold the mind as similarly sacred, which is why others believe they have a right to yours.
I... don't think what they described is "rule of law" in any way.
> Writing doesn't convey nuance well

Er, what?
There are places where science doesn't understand things, but we understand (or think we understand) well enough to place limits on what is happening. Then there are places that we know out current theories are not enough to explain things, but we don't have a clue what a theory that explains them are. Once in a while we think something is the first but when we get more detail we discover current theories are not enough and so we expand the number of things we need to figure out.

In general I would expect this to be a case where we didn't expect something but once we look closer we discover it fits with our current known physics - this is the majority of "interesting" discoveries. However once in a while we discover something unknown.
How is that fair to those that repaid?
The sacred text!
My employer is mandating RTO now as well. I'm going for a medical accommodation, but they're even pushing back against that. They argue that office attendance is essential to my role--a role I got in 2021 after more than a year of full-time remote work and which I have never performed in an office.

I've been with my company since 2009. This RTO business has shredded any feeling of goodwill and reframes my employer as my adversary. Talking to my co-workers, I can feel their loss of morale as well. It makes me wonder how many people we will lose and whether that might be the whole point.
In a study of 17 people.
I've seen the opposite. Also as an immigrant to the states, I've seen so much more anxiety from fellow immigrants than those raised here. There's so much fragility in having and maintaining immigrant status - particularly from countries with long wait times for permanent residency, that it seems hard not to be anxious.

Until very recently when I started realizing the mental and physical toll of it, I would completely panic over any sort of planning for the future (even things as inconsequential as hearing other people talking about buying tickets for a concert) because it'd remind me of the instability of my position.

In contrast the people born here, while certainly having concerns about their future, tend to feel comfortable enough in knowing that they have some basic level of stability around them.

After realizing the toll it was taking on me, I've had to work on recognizing the signs of another round of panic and get better at gaslighting myself to be more apathetic of whatever might happen and reminding myself that ultimately, my sanity is more important than immigration and with my education and skills I can probably do fine in most other countries with similar standards of living.

This was a homework assignment in AI class in college. Explicitly stated that you had to do it with pencil and paper. Probably the ugliest homework problem I've ever handed in, since I did not correctly guess how wide it would get. Should have used the paper in landscape mode.

However, upshot, taking account of the symmetries, this is doable on a single sheet of paper, though I'd suggest making the board smaller than you may initially think.

I think you are a bit out of touch with recent advancements in LLMs. Asking ChatGPT questions about the world seems pretty much on par with the results Google (Search) shows me. Sure, it misses things here and there, but so do most primary school teachers.

Your argument that this is just a statistical trick sort of gives away that you do not fully accept the usefulness of this new technology. Unless you are trolling, I'd suggest you try a few queries.
> you need some [at least] constant flux of people moving money in and out of long term storage

This isn't necessary to maintain value (think of a rare painting), but it is important to provide liquidity when you come to sell, so that you don't have to wait weeks for someone to buy your bitcoin. Bitcoin has plenty of liquidity - no shortage of buyer and sellers. Coinbase alone trades ~$1 billion of bitcoin per day.

You're correct that the hash-rate is related to block subsidy + fees, but it's only one of the variables. Cost of energy for miners is an equally import factor (continuously decreasing as miners tap into wasted energy around the earth, and without geographical constraints), along with efficiency of the mining HW.

Bitcoin averages around 2700 transactions per block which currently provides miners with total reward of 6.25 + 0.3 (tx fees) BTC = ~$334,050. If we suddenly went to fees-only today, that would be ~$123 per transaction. Considering that this fee is independent of transaction amount, it is actually very cheap for large values of money (e.g. >$1M) considering it covers the cost of moving the bearer asset around the world within ~30 minutes, and also covers the cost of protecting your value against debasement and theft for however long you had it stored for (often years).

I'm not sure how you came up with a % cost per year - the cost of storage is a one-off tx fee at purchase and sale (just like physical gold, but bitcoin transactions are generally cheaper and independent of the transaction size)
Means he had a certificate that showed he was considered (by the US navy in this case) competent in making welds suitable for building or repairing a nuclear reactor or related devices.

We didn't need that, of course, but because high pressure steam is so dangerous we used only union welders who were rated master and who already had experience in steam plumbing. I don't remember if there was a special ticket for that, but everybody we hired was interviewed and had to do some welding as a part of it (the equivalent of a leetcode test on the whiteboard I suppose). If it isn't obvious: I was not qualified to usefully interview any of them.

These guys were great to hang around with. go have a beer, horse around, etc with but wow, when they were on the clock all of them (machinists, etc too) were deadly serious. No fucking around.
I feel that most of the time the two options are presented as either write a handwritten parser or use a parser generator. A nice third way is to write a custom parser generator for the language you wish to parse. Handwritten parsers do tend to get unwieldy and general purpose parser generators can have inscrutable behavior for any specific language.

Because the grammar for a parser generator is usually much simpler than most general purpose programming languages, it is typically relatively straightforward to handwrite a parser for it.
The context is talking about whether we should regulate the environment or just normative ethics; Tokyo has a lot of laws regulating the environment.
I tested it for an offline autocompletion tool and it was hilariously bad.
Google (and Walmart) established their dominant position through clever marketing based on lies. We bought it and only now are starting to realize what we fell for.

Google's big lie was "don't be evil." They provided overwhelmingly valuable services for free. They did everything with minimal advertising and generally fantastic performance. Then they merged with an advertising company and pretty soon "don't be evil" was abandoned, along with almost every other principle that they had used to earn their dominant position in search and email.

Walmart in the 1980s and 1990s was all about "Made in the USA.¹" They sold themselves as a small-town company that cared about American jobs and American values. They did this while simultaneously dealing with American manufacturers using ruthless tactics. Walmart had a direct and significant (I would say critical) role in the widespread decline of manufacturing in the US.

1. This is not so prominent anymore but it was a lie from the start. Walmart has a long history with claiming to support American manufacturing while aggressively doing the opposite. https://www.thestand.org/2014/11/how-walmart-destroyed-u-s-m...
Good point. Currently, our product does not contain LLM, as we are purely voice API -- instead the developer is bringing in their own LLM solutions and gets to decide what to say. This would be a great guardrail to build in for all sorts of reasons, will see how we can suggest our users adopt it.

In the US* but in Canada (subject of this article) many are shipped off - ie. 10% are never recovered in US, 40%+ never recovered in Canada.
A way of looking at the second amendment is as a reduction in imbalanced power structures. Its purpose, depending on how you read it, but as practiced in the US, is to put the citizenry on more level footing with the government so the government doesn't get too excited with their power.

Security bypasses/tools/exploits in that context are useful for leveling the playing field in a conflict, for instance we know the NSA is hoarding them for militaristic purposes. So if we call them cyber weapons rather than security tools it starts to make sense that, per that reasoning, citizens should have access to them too.
The first thing is that there are no universal sets of morals. Ethics is a totally different beast but it’s something I’m not sure a young kid can wrap their heads around. But following “the rules” is something you can teach a kid and works until they are old enough to know when to break the rules.

One thing we stressed to our son is: if you break the rules/laws, you will eventually get caught. So make sure whatever you are doing is worth the consequences.

There’s no need for some magical god to punish people, just the fact that, eventually, someone will figure out what you did (or more likely, they’ll tell on themselves). It’s worked so far…

I did see the full video and that's not assault. The police are well within their right to break up a congregation of disorderly juveniles outside homeless shelters. When they resisted that they arrested them. Good. Why are you bending over backwards to protect people with this sort of history?

Not everyone is as smart as someone that thinks of the golden rule "on their own", therefor religious ethics has its place.

Also, we grew up in a society that already had this in place, essentially you could have grown up on this planet instead: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Battle_Lines_(episode), and you would probably grab a gun, shoot someone because they had something you wanted rather than thinking of the golden rule at all.

Additionally, such an investment effectively makes it cheaper to acquire the company down the line (since they already own some percentage of it). In such a scenario their investment would both flow back as revenue and reduce to the eventual cost of acquiring such a company.
