It’s kinda the same problem, isn’t it? If I had a million dollar budget last year and I don’t have one this year, I’ve lost status. Unless the company is flaming out and then lowering my budget is a good thing for a little bit, until it isn’t.

I’ve had maybe three bosses who gave me the recognition I felt I deserved for saving us huge amounts of time and money by chasing something down that other people couldn’t even picture in their heads.

And every single one of those went on to work for a company I absolutely despise and asked me to follow them. As you can guess I have some feelings about that.

It took me a while to realize that first section was about how to guess based off the Google Street View car's characteristics (tire, roof rack). I didn't know people were even allowed to use that as part of the game. I guess I'm only watching some specific people like rainbolt, who seems to use the terrain and other city landmarks (stop signs, poles along highways, etc) for his guesses.

I'm guessing for Google Street View Car stuff that's probably a differentiator if you're super competitive at this.

well to use setters it has to be "foo.something = else", because JS can't override plain old local bindings -- not since "with" was sent to the cornfield anyway. Once you do that, you can indeed have a framework that generates getters and setters, which is exactly what Vue 2 does. Switch to proxies instead of get/set and you have Vue 3 -- the signals API is pretty much identical to the Vue composition API.

Also, I distinctly remember his column showing how to generate text based on statistics learned from an existing corpus. It has come to mind more than once in this last period of LLM magic -- the essence was already there.

Support your claims of WhatsApp being backdoored with facts, not random assertions you pull out of - where, exactly?

Because it is E2EE. You don't want government employees to use an E2EE service because it kills transparency.

Irrelevant to WhatsApp. They're run by a completely separate team within Meta, have completely different leadership and reporting chains, and has a completely separate codebase and architecture.

Again, support your claims with actual facts instead of incoherent angry rambling. Is it backdoored? Can Meta access your messages? Provide proof.
Is there any discussion or in-depth explanation of the syntax choices? I understand that a goal was context free unambiguous parsing. But there are some things that surprise me.

For example, string interpolation:

"Hello, (msg)$!\n"

Why “(msg)$” and not “$(msg)”? Surely the latter is easier to parse?

I don’t know English grammar, but I don’t think inverting the position of the show/tell would be against Brazilian Portuguese grammar.

I think a grammar is certainly necessary for everyday communication though. Not the academically decided normative grammar for a whole language. But every verbal communication follows grammatical rules, most of the time different from the written grammar and normative grammar, but rather a grammar agreed among the people that form a group that speaks that local grammar.
The answer is YES, and you dont need any research to prove that. We can see it ourselves. We live it. It's not rocket science.
Snapchat isn't a phone or in-person voice conversation. State two-party recording consent rules don't apply.

If you work for a large employer in the United States, they are probably decrypting all of your TLS traffic to every site on the internet from your (their) work devices without the consent of the other party. This is a part of any good security architecture. There is no other way to ensure it isn't actually malware command and control traffic, for example.

You consent to this by using the employer-provided device and only your consent is needed. Same deal here. I am sure Snapchat doesn't like it (I think some of Meta's internal messaging around it said as much) but I can't think of how it would be illegal in the U.S., though I can't speak for every jurisdiction in the world. Not a lawyer, though.
That seems a bit excessively nitpicky. Neither you nor the comment you corrected somewhat is really wrong. I'm not sure you're much more right, though. Thomas-Fermi screening and the Coulomb crystal lattice of the outer crust isn't very plasma-like (and differs from the astrophysical plasma in the accretion disc). Perhaps it's better to say that it's a phase of matter unlike the "classical four", and more like one of the dozens and dozens of known condensed matter states. Chamel 2007 is pretty interesting on that front: <https://arxiv.org/abs/0709.3798>.

I would agree with you about the inner crust, and so would Chamel (and many others): "Unlike the situation in ordinary solids (ordinary meaning under terrestrial conditions), the electronic properties in neutron star crust are very simple. The matter density is so high that the Coulomb energy of the electrons is negligible compared to their kinetic energy" [which is essentially your point] "The electrons can thus be treated as a degenerate relativistic Fermi gas." Chamel 2008 is also excellent <https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrr-2008-10>.

More recently Taverna et al 2022 <https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.add0080> does X-ray polarization spectroscopy on candidate magnetar (Anomalous X-Ray Pulsar AXP) 4U 0142+61 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4U_0142%2B61> (follow links in [6] therein) to investigate the physical state of the crust, finding the best match is a solid and bare surface.

Finally, the phys.org article at the top corresponds with Russel et al 2024 <https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.18135> which as far as I can tell has practically nothing to do with this thread of discussion nor the paragraph in the phys.org article that motivated it. Perhaps the phys.org article writer confused accretion "hard state" (relatively low mass accretion rate, p. 3 of Russell et al. 2024) with a stiff (or hard) outer crust equation-of-state which compresses poorly compared to an EOS softened by neutronization (e.g. Haensel, P., Potekhin, A.Y., Yakovlev, D.G. (eds) (2007), chapter 3 <https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-0-387-47301-7_...>).

The excellent overview and somewhat different approach to the NS EOS in Sumioshi et al 2022 is pretty neat too <https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.00033>.
You can also fire events on pretty much any object, essentially creating a channel where the message bus queue is the vm event queue.
> 2. Short lived + well-defined lifetime (per frame/request). Can be allocated in a memory arena.

You now have an "arena management" problem. Figuring out the correct arena to allocate from can be a problem. (You want to put all objects that become unused at the same time into the same arena, but that's not the same as all temporary objects allocated between time t and t+delta.)

You are indeed missing something: you don't need machine powered instant voice "cloning" tech to have good artificial voices, which would do basically everything you're talking about.

Voice cloning has always been technically possible and so has fake videos but lowering the barrier of entry to voice cloning and deepfakes has very real implications for society that we're not remotely equipped to deal with.

See, this is what I have a problem with. It assumes that the symptoms this person/these people had were bad enough for samples to be tested later (pretty much hospitalization at that point, or maybe a hospital visit if they saved samples for some other reason), and it assumes things about the transmission of the virus that I'm not sure were correct at the time. It's a different disease from SARS, it's demonstrably harder to track and contain. People don't need obvious symptoms to transmit, and by the time most people end up in the hospital the transmission probability has gone down, due to various things including better precautions, but mostly because their immune system has started clearing the virus. What kills people most of the time is off-target immune responses, not the virus itself.
If IBM weren't hostile to the Hercules project and allowed local licensing to run z/OS, CICS, IMS and DB2 on it, perhaps more hobbyists would want to careerpath themselves on to the s390 architecture.

I do love the s390 arch and the massive IO hardware over there, but IBM has paywalled down entry so hard that there is no audience.

They even went to the trouble of making Go binaries transportable for direct execution under z/OS. But if you want new people to write code on the platform you need to make access to the platform a thing.

The way in which this topic is discussed is endlessly infuriating because:

While indeed, social media and specifically content algorithms (both in the present where they decide which content people see, and in the future where they may indeed create it entirely) are certainly worthy of scrutiny with regard to many mental illnesses, and the ongoing exploitation of the attention of young people especially by figures such as Andrew Tate are doing demonstrable, objective harm to tons and tons of young kids, and the entire notion that simply by virtue of making an account a child can, by default, access the entire breadth of content available on any of these sites, for zero money, with zero notification of their parents, etc., is certainly one that IMO doesn't get nearly enough time in popular discussions as to how we've simply shotgunned all of this into the faces of kids for decades now, with precious little data about what it does to them and it's only accelerating...

THEN, when that conversation happens, it's to explain of all fucking things, anxiety and depression. Not body image issues, not rampant misogyny in young boys, not the growing slice of the crowd that "fails to launch" and remain stuck with mom and dad long after it's traditional to do so, no, none of those things, just anxiety. Anxiety which is a perfectly normal and understandable thing, IMO, to experience in a period of history that's got, in a non-exhaustive list:

- A biosphere on the brink of collapse, and no one in power taking it seriously

- War in Europe involving multiple international powers and one of the larger nations on the planet, which seems like it could incredibly easily boil over into World War III

- Multiple ongoing ethnic cleansings and/or genocides

- The rise of authoritarian fascist movements in several countries

- The rise of unchangeable super-corporations that run more of our lives than ever with zero oversight

Like, as an adult, who has SEEN some shit, I have to meter my intake of world news to avoid entering a depressive state in which I cannot function. I have already had a vasectomy because this world is not one I want to bring children into, and my wife got her tubes tied, because there is a non-trivial chance that she won't have the ability in a few years to do so and feels similarly. And it's all well and good to say "well the 24 hour news cycle is probably behind that," maybe? But maybe if said news cycle ever had anything but the worst shit you've ever heard of to report, maybe that would be less of a contributing factor?

I dunno, this just sucks. This incurious response by the dominant media of "well it can't be that the world we're leaving them is fucking awful, it's gotta be those pesky iPhones" is so dismissive and shitty.

Looks like the type of cheap cut glass you put on a doorhandle. The whole spiel of what an art it is to prepare and how very rare and delicate it is, that's just a scam to get others to overvalue a piece of rock. It also has no utility whatsoever so where they pulled 80k down from 190k from is beyond me. Taking advantage of someone without the reasoning capacity to value a products utility objectively doesn't increase the items market value in reality. I could clean out a retarded person with an overpriced polished apple, but an apple is just an apple and a rock is still a rock. Of course you can at least eat the apple.
There are other reasons to change, though. The main thing to consider here is that static linking is the "OG" way of doing things, and also the simplest and the most easily understandable one. There are also obvious perf benefits to it when it comes to optimizing compilers.

On the other hand, dynamic linking was originally more or less just a hack to deal with memory-restricted environments in the face of growing amounts of code. It was necessary at the time because we simply wouldn't have things like X or Windows without it way back when.

But RAM is nowhere near as sparse these days, and it could be even less so if there was a concerted push on hardware vendors to stop skimping on it. So why don't we remove the hack and get back to a simple model that is much easier to understand, implement, and audit?

There have been so many new healthcare innovations over the last few decades that I doubt any company could afford to cover 50% of the available state-of-the-art, even with a huge deductible.

Correct. "At will" isn't quite the dystopian corporate nightmare some make it out to be. You can't just make up a reason. It has to be valid, and even if it is, it will be a headache for the legal department if there is even a hint that the person was targeted for being in a protected class. If it's proven the company fabricated the reason, well, you might as well name the company after person at that point.

That's why companies still go through an enormous amount of procedural and documentation hoops before they fire someone, including PIPs.
