Me as well...

I actually like that IRC is less 'noisey' then most social media (I generally only hang on a few low volume channels) with no 'feed' being shoved at me, no algorithm deciding what I 'should' see. I bop into more popular channels as needed, but for general use, I find the self-directed nature of IRC to be the 'perfect social media' for me...eg I see only what I'm interested in.
Lua throws an error when you try and do analogous things. I think it's compile time, actually, might be runtime though. It would be reasonable for a language like Common Lisp to reject potentially-undefined variables.
The real question:

How many of the well know personalities will abandon Mastodon for this?

Mastodon has a surprising number of famous personalities. Many popular open source developers live there. Lots of well known people in math/science (Terry Tao, etc). Lots of authors (Greg Egan, Neil Gaiman, etc). Lots of open source orgs.

Will they be willing to move networks yet again? Twitter made them unhappy. Will Mastodon be so poor (and Bluesky more superior) to get them to move again?

A lot of gun legislation is like this. Whatever your view of guns is, there is no rationale for a "safe hand gun roster" like California's where the Glock 17 Gen 3 is on it, but the Gen 5 -- which introduces a basic safety improvement for left-handed people -- is not.

> sending a message to all my coworkers

Damore didn't send anything to all coworkers. He sent a detailed message as part of a very specific conversation with a very specific group on demographic statistics at Google and their causes.

In fact, it was Damore's detractors that published it widely. If it the crime was distribution, and not thoughtcrime, wouldn't they be fired?

Now, maybe that's not a conversation that should have existed in a workplace in the first place. I'd buy that. But's it's profoundly disingenuous for a company to deliberately invite/host a discussion, then fire anyone with a contrary opinion.
The lack of revocability, marginal temporal value, and downstream governance I think makes the prospect of more such data deals happening slim -- or at least, slim without regret.

All this seems like a small investment compared to properly preparing for the test. An average student would probably want to study at least 10 hours if they care about their test score.

> especially for a teenager who may be smart but may not see the proper cost/benefit of skipping the SAT

The SAT is for students who want to attend college. If $60 and a two hour round trip is going to tilt the scale on whether you spend 4 years in college, then from the college's point of view, you may not be the type of applicant they are looking for.
TruffleHog: Open-source solution for scanning secrets
Had never heard of that. What is somewhat common knowledge is alot of the counter cultural movement that was going on in SF and the bay area in general was due to a number of factors, protests against the war being one, experimentation with acid being another, see Timothy Leary, CIA(acid experiments in SF with unsuspecting johns seeing prostitutes etc). Also the music scene(grateful dead, etc) which tied into LSD and mushrooms were heavily influenced by each other and started in SF, along with LA and a few other places.
So, I'm only replying to give some color into that thought, not to start a flame war or debate, because it is a legitimate concern I have with using the site as data.

I'm not necessarily complaining that it's left leaning, it always has been in US parlance at least. My worry is that the tone as changed from disagreement to some form of disgust and hate, and yes even at times calls for murders. Maybe that's just the landscape now, broadly?

Just look at some of the 'mainstream' comments linked below. This is probably a 'both sides' thing, but I don't see the other side represented here and I would have equal concerns if it were in similar manner.

That said, I don't have a Reddit account, so just opened the site to see what it showed me. I'm not sure of its algo, as a lot of it is video games, but here are a few that showed up in the top 15 or so -

Yes.

It's also opportunistic exploitation of supplies which would be likely to pass through an imports blockade, as has been the case in Gaza.

Both sugar and fertiliser are basic-needs goods, with obvious nonmilitary applications. The fact that they can be combined (with other dual-purpose and low-cost materials, such as steel piping) to create ballistic weapons with ranges (and accuracies) of tens of kilometres is useful to Hamas and of course highly problematic for Israel.

What the source I'd linked noted was that though the rockets are individually highly inaccurate, en mass they become effective area denial weapons (effectively aerial mines), and a highly-asymmetric cost advantage over Israel's Iron Dome ballistic missile defence systems. A Qassam rocket costs less than $1,000, whilst a single shot by Iron Dome is on the order of $100,000, for a 100:1 cost advantage to the attacker. Even given Israel's vastly greater economic capacity over Hamas, that stings.

Thanks so much for the thorough reply! Especially including ecosystem details.
I like your optimism, but twitter had already hired the best and brightest for a decade and were completely unable to move the needle, barely maintaining existing user count. You can see the same usercount story for traditional message boards/forums. There's just not that much demand for this kind of social media.

> the company is now on a path to death

Probably, but it's going to be a very long tail. Forums do not cost that much to run.
I went to the original repo, it's indeed a RAM disk. That makes it clear then. I was already almost excited about some IO wizardry going on.

Results are determined by running the program on a Hetzner AX161 dedicated server (32 core AMD EPYC™ 7502P (Zen2), 128 GB RAM).

Programs are run from a RAM disk (i.o. the IO overhead for loading the file from disk is not relevant), using 8 cores of the machine.
The doctors were denying the existence of an illness though.

Don't ignore the doctors when they diagnose you with an illness.

If they insist you don't, there is a risk in not ignoring them. Maybe you have something and their diagnosis missed it.

(I do realize that from the grandparent comment, we cannot conclude that the doctors were proven wrong. The symptoms went away on their own, and were never diagnosed as being something physiological, which would contradict the "in your head" claim.)
It depends which one 100x’s the other

Yup. And this is why smart companies avoid that game.

I know one regional company who sells nationally/internationally which has done that for decades. Decades ago, the owner asked the local bank for a growth loan for some equipment and was turned down. The next week, he found out that one of his employees, who depends 100% on his company for income, went to the same bank for a motorcycle loan and was approved. the business owner was so outraged at the bank's stupid decision-making (if the business isn't good for the money, how will the employee be good for it?) that he decided to never use bank debt for growth again. That was in the 1960s, and the company is doing great, focusing on product and service and not financial games, with very expansive and expanding facilities and workforce. The regional bank was absorbed long ago.

Remember: no matter how much banks advertise being your partner and friend, they are not.
> Then, after around two decades, it just all went away.

That doesn't confirm that the doctors who said it was all in her head were wrong.
>please don't generalize your N=1 experience of your mom to the entire population of ME/CFS sufferers. It only breeds contempt for the condition.

If suggesting that ME/CFS may be a mental illness breeds contempt towards sufferers, then we really need to reflect on our attitudes towards mental illness. The aetiology of ME/CFS should have absolutely no bearing on how we regard people suffering from it. Mental illness is real illness.

If it's not any other more-regular ones like the article states, could it be one of these
- sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation (if it's even possible)
- lack of minerals
- gut problem -> brain problem
- too much sugar or insulin in the blood

of course normal doctors don't even think of these things because "food cannot make you sick, and pills or knife are the only solutions to any problems"

If you have these symptomps, i'd suggest
-intermediate fast
-fast
- consume seasalt water, most raw quality sea salt (unwhitened etc.) and most clean water from the spring or filtered
- then also, high-quality oils. Brain needs oils and our current food contains almost 0 of them. Even lax are fed with soy and other awful stuff
>Every company already tries this as hard as they can, there is no magic button they can press to just make themselves more efficient.

Then why are so many so inefficient? In the Silicon Valley mythology, one of the core tenants is that startups can act more efficiently than big companies simply due to focus & size.

If this were inherently true to any reasonable degree, I actually think we would have a differently shaped workforce. I can point out dozens of inefficiencies I experience even today that slow down development, and that is just if we analyze development. I hear from other wings of the company[0] of other things - simple things like consolidating tools so they don't have to bounce between different apps to do things - that also drive alot of real inefficiency.

This isn't the first place I worked where all these issues exist either, and its not nitpicky stuff, its all low hanging fruit. Consolidating tools is a complaint I have heard at almost every job I've had sans 1. I don't imagine I'm alone, my peers at other companies often have similar complaints when we talk.

I think some things are inherent to simply organizing humans, and I get that, but the obviousness of some improvements that simply aren't undertaken runs counter to the assumptions one makes when they buy into the "efficient business" hypothesis

[0]: we successfully became more cross functional, that's a huge plus, our solutions are much more holistic now, but its only part of the problem.

I saw this eclipse in 1999, from England: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_11,_19...

We were within the area of total eclipse, but as you can see from the map, there wasn't much area to choose from. Other than the towns and cities on the coast it counts as rural for England. (Plymouth is largest, 300k people; eclipses certainly do pass over cities.)

We stood on a hill, along with probably 30 other people who'd chosen the same place, just above a village. It went completely dark, and quiet (except for the people), the street lights on a road in the distance came on. We could see sunlight far to the north and south, yet ourselves were in near-total darkness (like overnight twilight at high latitudes).

Then it started to get light again, and the birds starting singing. It was mostly overcast, but with some glimpses of the occluded sun at every stage of the eclipse.

It wasn't a profound and spiritual experience, but it is one of the things I remember clearly from several holidays to that part of England with my family. Maybe being alone would make it different — there'd have been no-one else saying "isn't this amazing!" to their children. But more realistically, English families on holiday aren't looking for profound and spiritual experiences, we leave that to the Americans.

We couldn't see the corona, due to the clouds. Maybe that's important.

I think being on a small hill helped, and not being within an urban area.
I've been following a project called Remission Biome on Twitter, sort of crowd-sourced self-experiments run by a pair of doctors who have ME/CFS.

https://twitter.com/remissionbiome

One of their projects I find interesting is the use of nicotine patches to self-regulate. “Nicotine activates AMPK, the substance that tells your body (Mitos) to produce ATP. Without ATP, no energy. Also muscles cannot complete contraction ‘cycle’. Ensuing stiffness and fatigue. Inflammation is one way AMPK gets deactivated.” IANAD, but inflammation seems like a persistent theme in a lot of modern, chronic conditions.

TFA states that the yakuza boss was acting as a middleman between an insurgent group in Myanmar and what he thought was an associate of an Iranian general. The group wanted to sell weapons-grade nuclear material and buy conventional military weapons. It could be related to Myanmar's rumored nuclear program: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myanmar_and_weapons_of_mass_de...

I find it interesting that they also wanted to offload meth and heroin into specifically the New York market. What's the connection between Iran and the drug trade?

No 'garage' is also a music genre. I'm not into music really (certainly not that kind) but I think it's in some way related to but to mark distinction from 'house'.

Of course funnily enough 'the house band' could also be a thing, but neither is related to the genre of that name.

Edit: oh, seems it's a UK thing, so perhaps you weren't to know - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_garage. Though also older 'garage rock' (60s) on the disambiguation page.
As well as light and shadows, yes. It can be fixed explicitly during training like the paper you linked suggests by offering a classifier, but it will probably also keep getting better in new models on its own, just as a result of better training sets, lower compression ratios, and better understanding of the real world by models.

I used Prompt 2 for a while, but switched to Secure Shellfish because

- Shellfish can act as a file provider using SFTP, meaning it shows up in the Files app and in the document UI of other apps.

- Shellfish supports port forwarding.

As far as I can tell, Prompt 3 still doesn’t support either of those features.

Added bonus: Shellfish lifetime unlock is only $30, compared to Prompt 3’s $100.
Pretty hard right-leaning too. They regularly ban left-leaning journalists who are critical of Musk, while letting actual neo-Nazis roam free. They over-corrected to an extreme degree. I still can't believe they banned Alexei Navalny's wife after Putin murdered him. And I find it sickening that there are people here who defend that shit.

No the doctors ignored her, big difference.

I strongly disagree.

But saying that it is required, I'm drawing attention to the fact that it must be done to succeed. I believe it must be done because, starting with Piaget's work, we have evidence that children go through important developmental stages. Some lessons missed at specific ages, can be missed forever.

If I had merely said included, that makes it easy to walk away thinking that it is just one of many things that advance the goal. Which takes away from a must, to a nice to have. And then we can excuse not doing it based on the price tag. While imagining that the other things we're doing somehow will add up to a real fix. A piece of imagination that we make easier by discounting the evidence of standardized tests which demonstrate exactly how badly we, as a society, are failing.

My whole point is that, since the popular rejection of school busing, neither party has been willing to try to honestly tackle this problem.
Yeah, the word "good" is doing the heavy lifting here - while it's not the only one that can do it, it has a very comfortable lead over all alternatives.
I'm not GP but had similar experience, and yes they run every test they think is "reasonable" (i.e. insurance will approve) given the symptoms.

Problem is it's a game of finding statistical outliers, and often these types of conditions cause only subtle changes to conditions. Mix with the problem that the statistical ranges are based on what labs are seeing in tests, but for some of the tests people usually only get them when they are having symptoms, which artifically pushes the outlying bands even further out so that "normal" includes a chunk of people that have the condition!

And then even if they do find stuff, it's usually all about treating the symptoms and not the causes. Except nowadays only certain symptoms because we've decided that the small percentage of people who abuse some pharmaceuticals are a good enough reason to err on the side of denial to a legitimate person rather than granting to an illegitimate person. In no small part thanks to a DEA who will clap a well-meaning doctor in irons if they give t someone who shouldn't, but there's no penalty at all for withholding from someone who needs. It's no surprise which side they would rather err on and bet their medical license/livelihood on.
