There is no "true neutral" when it comes to moderation. There are a million examples, but the most obvious are of the form "you can have group X or people who hate group X and are dedicated to driving them off the platform". Somebody's not going to have "free speech" in that case. And even if you go for what most "true neutral" advocates want, which is a lack of rules, you'll quickly find that quite a lot of people don't want to hang out at the place that's filled with Nazis or scam artists or spammers or whatever.

So in practice you have to make choices, or you'll end up running the new 4chan and being sad about your life. As happened to the guy who ran the old 4chan: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/4chans...

It probably has to do with publishing rights. Authors may not want to allow digital publication without an actual print run, and once the initial print run ends they lose the digital rights unless they do another print run. Or the digital publication rights may only be negotiated for a fixed period of time, or else require an ongoing fixed payment to retain, so it costs the publisher money to continue offering a digital version that they may not recoup without sufficient sales.
I Created an Algorithm for Social Music Discovery
Nice overview. I added a separate ZIL sevice (SLOG) back in the day as back then writing the ZIL directly to the pool could fragment the pool. That has been changed somewhat recently, so now there's a dedicated area in the pool for the ZIL, thus it can no longer cause fragmentation.

Since I have primarily async workloads (fileshare) I was considering removing the SLOG but was curious what the impact might be. Seems the stuff in the article should give me tge details I've been looking for.

AFAIK AI detectors are about as reliable as the AI they're supposed to detect.

This state is shifting as AI improves, and is unlikely to ever theoretically hit 100% correctness (but may ultimately theoretically hit 0% correctness) .

At best you can may be able to use such a detection as a flag to prompt further investigation. This much may or may not be warranted based on the state of AI detection at point X in time.

However, you should not use AI detection software alone to serve as proof or disproof.

As the GP, yes good point about reasonableness. I didn't word it well: I meant people who act intelligently; intelligence by itself certainly doesn't yield that!

If "intelligent" is taken as 'naturally superior intelligence', then I can see what you mean (and I think that idea is a egomaniacal delusion). What I mean is people who choose to act intelligently; that's quite democratic.

Vox is diversified enough across publications (sports, trad media like NY mag, vox.com) and platforms (video, movies, etc) that they will be fine. They may never deliver the multiples they promised investors but their investors don't care -- Accel and Allen & Co types didn't put a ton into them, NBCU and Penske are probably just happy Vox hasn't folded like BF and Vice... Vox is solid in the world of media but certainly failed in what they promised to achieve. Still though, just surviving is a high measure of success in the hellscape that is VC funded online media.

The height of the cold war when we had thousands of nukes pointed at each others cities, multiple proxy wars including Vietnam, a conservative Republican president and conservative Communist premier, yet somehow a civilian international space program was still considered worth it.

The whole "for profit" thing just seems like such a sham. It's only "for profit" because the government is paying the bills, while avoiding liability and scrutiny if something goes wrong.

> weren't as bad

that's one hell of an endorsement, and not a good one. pretty much sums it up. 300 and Sin City at least styled them to look like the comic they were based, but the Willy Wonka and Alice all just were a bunch of nope from me. these movies just look/feel uncanny valley, and we just expected to accept it.

compare Mad Max Fury Road. yes, there's some digital additions, but it feels real because so much of it was real.

I think Apple are perhaps just as guilty of this like many other major tech companies. It's not in any way just an Apple thing.

However, the devices that have followed have not succumb to as much boneheaded engineering.

It doesn't surprise me that they would use Glass as most mobile phones and watches are using a form of Glass that undergoes a greater amount of wear and tear than Vision Pro does.

There was a variety of Acer laptops where the plastic hinge guard would catch and snap off when closing the lid of the screen

A variety of HP laptops where the plastic around the screen would break apart due to the hinges being too strong for the glue that would eventually soften due to heat

A variety of HP laptops where you could undo the bottom plate and random screws would simply fall out

Samsung mobile phones used plastic screens before adopting Glass many years after the iPhone, displays would scratch like crazy

Not obvious to me. "publish content on vice.com" can mean "continue serving the existing articles".
I've been hearing this for decades -- it was a common refrain after the passing of NCLB -- and it's always presented as some dramatic new thing. I suspect the reality is that people who become teachers value education higher than the general populace and are dismayed to see first hand how little the average person has ever cared.

(I'm open to be persuaded by actual data, just to be clear; the rapid and substantial changes in pedagogy during the pandemic may very well have had some unique impact. I'm just not interested in one or two teachers' anecdata.)
The article says that the landing was delayed from 4.24pm to 6.24pm because they were troubleshooting their ranging laser which had last minute issues. The solve involved switching to an experimental NASA laser. I think it’s really impressive how they managed to do this in just two hours. Really exciting news!

This doesn't make sense to me. Low interest rates are possible when inflation is not out of control. Don't you need a money sink instead of a money source to make low interest rates possible for long periods? In a way that could still be SV's doing though. Garbage companies like Juicero were able to absorb capital from the "real" economy to keep inflation from rising.

A mature organization respects the process that prevents getting stuck for 3 months. But… they may be more stable and less nimble. Boring orgs don’t like heroes.
The problem may be in the relative value contribution. A senior eng that rights a project on 3 days which had been going on for 6 months is incredibly high value/he work.

A Sr eng who spends 6 months coaching a junior engineer has much lower value/hour.
Java has in-memory file systems that are essentially geared for this exact use case, eg jimfs[0]. You create your filesystem and any files you need when your tests are starting up, and your classes talk to them rather than the “real” ones. Maybe a similar project exists for the C++ ecosystem?

You'd think it's worse, but at the end of the day it's not.

Now, when NASA's rocket explodes people get drug in front of congress and asked 50,000 questions about why their tax payer dollars are exploding while the science guy tries to explain that's what a prototype does.
maturity of the CUDA environment, continued good engineering and execution, a world-class organization (probably the best hardware team in the world) with a business savant at the helm and a founder-mindset and a truly agile and flat team structure, etc

what's the price for apple after introducing the iphone? visionary leader in charge of a company that just delivered a money-faucet technology that - while yes, competition will emerge - they will still inevitably end up owning a large and highly desirable stake of in the market?

cuda is literally 15 years ago, and people are just realizing they have to actually start by catching up to that. The "NVIDIA is an AI company now" was like 2015, "mid-2010s", it was a realization jensen had during alexnet's rise, in the early/mid 2010s. It truly will take a long time to build that kind of ecosystem, Apple's support is great with Metal and it still is fairly well a potemkin village until there's more traction on apple gpu support. And a lot of competitors don't even have that, AMD is only finally just realizing this and Intel is also spending like crazy to build out OneAPI/SyCL.

Best time to plant the tree is 15 years ago, and Jensen has repeatedly planted trees where they needed them to be successful in the long term, and moved the engineering and business sides to make it happen.

Programmable shaders, CUDA, tessellation, GSync, and tensor/ML (and RT at the same time) have all been big big bets, and many people criticized some of them real harshly at the time, or backseat-drove that NVIDIA should have given it away, etc.

https://youtu.be/tu7pxJXBBn8?t=273

Also, just in general there's really only a handful of companies that can build something like H100/H200 or MI300X or Ponte Vecchio and get an actual competitive product out of it. Let alone the rest of the integration in the system (multi-node, networking, etc) which is all increasingly necessary to build HPC systems at scale etc. NVIDIA paid for mellanox, and amd paid for xilinx, etc. "just" integrate all that successfully into something that clients can start building products on, when can you deliver a from-scratch competitor? lol

(shoutout to oxide though, that actually does look pretty sick, bryan cantrill is in charge so you know it's gonna be good)

There's definitely an enormous amount of key-man risk, but it's also certainly the best cross-disciplinary team (hardware, software, business) in the business today. Nobody else can identify what's gonna be big, lay the groundwork, execute successfully, and roll with the punches (and manage inventory) 90s-tech-business style.

What if you could invest in cray, but it was a business where cray had repeatedly executed successfully and managed to pioneer several large commercial applications for their systems, and expected to continue pivoting and innovating into new areas going forward? There is nobody else in the business like Jensen right now, he is a savant.

I have yet to see evidence that what gets done in the C-suite of many (not all, possibly not most—but many) companies is making use of any skill set at all, besides self-aggrandizement and bullshitting.

To be charitable, for some of these, what's happening is that rather than leveraging their skills, they're leveraging their relationships. And that can be valuable, sometimes, but it's not a substitute for actually knowing what the hell you're doing.

The real problem is that far too many of these people—skills or no skills—primarily bring their egos to the table, and operate mostly based on that.
