For someone working full-time, especially with family, absent a hobby with a lot of specialized equipment needs like photography back in the day, it's a bit hard to imagine the justification for spending the time the time in a hacker space you pay for more than occasionally. The random Meetup--sure. but somewhere you go to on a regular weekly cadence? Harder to imagine.
IIRC that only works for clients and can't be used for listening.

Also IIRC there is a bash loadable module that implements server sockets but that can't be relied upon if you're just shipping bash scripts meant to be run without the end user preparing the ground before running it.
Even if it may be simple in some areas, it doesn't handle edge cases such as https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/issues/1632 in other areas out of the box unlike other server software.

> I'm not sure if this patch is noteworthy on its own, but perhaps it was posted because it implies this CPU feature is now supported or soon to be supported by OpenBSD.

OpenBSD has supported mandatory BTI/IBT on Intel CPUs (11th Gen+) and arm64 (Apple M2) since 7.4 (Oct 16, 2023).

https://www.openbsd.org/innovations.html

"Mandatory enforcement of indirect branch targets (BTI on arm64, IBT on Intel amd64), unless a linker flag (-Wl,-z,nobtcfi) requests no enforcement."

https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=168899645126958&w=2

OpenBSD recently disabled retpolines by default because they are incompatible with IBT, so there has been some work done recently that this patch could help with, e.g: adding missing indirect branch target instructions (endbr64), previously hidden by retpoline. OpenBSD has done a lot of work to push these changes into the entire software ecosystem.

Cutting off US companies from China would be impractical, since a lot of US companies do a lot of business with China. A large fraction of home appliances, clothing, etc. sold in the US comes from Chinese factories. For example, Apple needs to be able to communicate with Foxconn, which manufactures most of their iPhones and iPads in China.
I am increasingly of the mind that this is a feature, not a bug.

If you want to be Twitter, you'll end up being Twitter. We already have one of those, it sucks, and we don't need another one.

Social networks go to crap above a certain scale. If everyone can see your posts, you'll write posts to be seen by everyone. Which, as it turns out, ends up benefiting no one. The magic comes when there is a community, where you give a shit about the people you're sending messages to, and they give a shit about you. If the community is too small, then nobody bothers with it and it dies. If the community is too large, then it ends up being old men screaming at clouds, and (see above) we already have one of those. So a platform that is good enough to use, but limits the number of disaffected members, is the only thing worth creating.

If something I'm saying requires a video, then I can always link to one. If something someone else is saying requires a video, and it requires the video to be immediately visible while I'm reading whatever they're saying, then there's a good chance I'm better off not seeing it anyway, even if I think I want to.

(Ironically, in this post I am an old man screaming at clouds...)
> if you are seen as part of the ethnic group in power, you will not be able to experience noteworthy levels of discrimination

That is not a crazy idea, but it does raise the question: who is the ethnic group currently in power? Against which group will slurs and discrimination result in punishment, and against which group will they be ignored — or even praised?

That's hilarious, but also not totally crazy.

Doing ground coffee rubs on meats like steak or bacon or pork tenderloin is a thing. People eat bacon at breakfast and wash it down with black coffee. They're actually pretty complementary flavors, so it all comes down to the exact execution.

It's actually the milkiness of the latte together with the pork that gives me pause. I think it would really come down to the "Dongpo pork sauce" that flavors it all, if it successfully ties them all together. I'm curious what its flavors consist of.
I think there is more to it than that. The process also selects for people who are very hard working and trains them to think in terms of averages.

Everyone wants an unconventional doctor when the convention isnt working for them, but that doesn't mean people on average would be better off if doctors didn't follow convention.

The desire for a doctor that bucks the rules breaks down once you understand that they aren't super-human problem solvers (as seen on TV).

Even listening to and believing patients becomes an optimization problem.

Kind of ignores the risk externalities have on projects no? If you tried your best to deliver something, but another teams priorities changed, or the business/market shifted, or the project got bogged down in planning/politics outside of that team members control, or if the team needs to integrate with a system (external or legacy) that’s out of their control and is notoriously flaky and torpedoes their velocity and morale.

I have a keycaps set imitating the classic Space Cadet keyboard (from Symbolics Lisp workstations).

You seem to be now arguing that prestigious universities provide a WORSE education than lower-tier institution. That's very different from what you said in your original comment, which is that they're no better. The latter is probably true, or at the very least not dramatically better. They certainly don't offer a worse education, though.

So the additional competency from direct instruction is negligible. That doesn't mean that the value of attending a top-tier university is negligible, because the direct instructional education is only a small part of what someone gains access to at a university.

There's the social network aspect: There is a lot of value in having personal connections with other successful people. People need business partners, investors, advisors, etc. in order to be successful, and top tier universities intermingle you with others who are likely to be helpful in those regards. At top tier universities, the majority of people you interact with will either talented, wealthy, or both. At a lower tier university, the pool is far more diluted, reducing the utility of your social network in pursuing success.

There's the branding advantage: if you're choosing between two people, and one has someone you trust vouching for them that they're competent, and the other doesn't, you're going to go with the first person every single time. A top-tier university is basically that third party, vouching for its graduates: they're more likely to be successful, and people want to surround themselves with successful people.

And then there's the educational advantage: If you're surrounded by other smart, motivated people, you're going to gain real educational advantages by cooperating with them. You learn from each other, bounce ideas off each other, etc. If you're by far the smartest person in the room, you don't get nearly the same added value out of your education. At a top-tier university, you're going to be surrounded by substantially more high-quality students than at a lower-tier school.

And yeah, convincing people to give you money is BY DEFINITION valuable. As measured by the value of the money they're giving you.
So what data goes and what data is blocked by transitioning away from the main server?

I am assuming a person's own posts would come along, but what about conversations with other people, or group discussions or things you have followed?

Any other features that would work / things you could see if still connected but no be available if you were federated and banned?

I think fbook has a hidden 'export your posts to WP' option somewhere, and you can download a copy of your data (if you are not banned / can still login) - but that data would not include replies in groups, marketplace, etc (? haven't checked, I'm sure other things)

I read they were turning off the groups access API and may not be offering a replacement option..

I think there is reasonable debate as to whether or not group posts and such should or should not be included in a data dump / backup..

Also not familiar with features that bluesky or mastadon or twitter do or do not have and what would break if you moved your data (would only your part of dms/chats come along? pictures others sent you or posted? )

It seems like a very long input to an LLM can act as additional training data. A possible future is that LLMs will be used to bootstrap AIs that will be "trained" by feeding them a giant prompt at the start. Might end the era of "supervised" learning, "reinforcement" learning, numerical methods and gradient descent -- those techniques are awkward and procrustean. Imagine what you could do if you could improve a neural network - maybe to AGI level - just by talking to it in English?

I have been programming for over 40 years, mostly in fairly verbose languages but nowadays mostly in JavaScript and clojure, both of which can be very concise.

I find I spend most of my time thinking about the problem domain and how to model it in logic, and very little time just banging out boilerplate code. When I want to do the kind of task a lot of people will ask gpt for, I find it's often built into the language or available as an existing library - with experience you realise that the problem you're trying to solve is an instance of a general problem that has already been solved.

> In case you weren't aware (or "woke") enough to know the truth, there are already some extremely heavy fingers on the other side of the scale when it comes to training AI. So why shouldn't they have their finger on the scale to make it more balanced?

Because this is a lie. It's not balanced, it's a full tilt in the opposite direction. The bullied become the bullies. Most people are centrists who do want actual equality. This shit isn't equality, it's open racism against white people being shoved down everyone's throats. Calling it balanced is just the euphemism you give it to obfuscate your own racist intentions.

We're not racist or sexist, we're just not the fucking morons you make us out to be.

> If you refuse to intervene when you see bigotry and sexism and racism, then you're a bigoted sexist racist, part of the problem.

The problem is that we're being trained to see x-isms everywhere. Accountability is being conflated with persecution.

We're told the police policing in black neighborhoods is racist. When the police withdraw and abandon them to their fate, that's also racist.
