I would agree with your take if we had a solution for the "who watches the watchers" problem. Since we don't, blanket criticism of critical thinking doesn't go down with me since I watched the pandemic unfold. Our state-controlled local media said 3 days after the first lockdown that we are supposed to only listen to them, and ignore every other media outlet because they are going to lie. This in a democratic country. I was schocked, and what followed didn't make me any more trusting in the powers that be. We tell our kids if they keep lying, nobody will believe them. This is what happened during the pandemic. And claiming experts are cool just because, doesn't make that deeply rooted distrust go away. We tell our kids they are not supposed to lie because after a while, nobody will believe them. But if we're being subjected to improsionment at home based on vague "scientific" experts who turn out to have followed orders from politiccians, we are supposed to forget all about it and more on? Nope, sorry. Trust has eroded, and just saying so will not reestablish it.
Wasn't user aggression a factor in the orchestration of the xz attack? At this point, any aggression (at least in an Open Source project) must be dispelled not just because it's rude but also because of potential malicious implications.

Gee, I love trying to disprove three negatives at a time! Reminds me of Brandolini's law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandolini%27s_law

You want evidence?

First, read the (deeply reported) article, before posting about it. It's Russians using them in occupied areas of Ukraine that is of concern. You claim to speak for all of Ukraine on geofencing? That's a tall claim that is not supported in 2024. Ukraine wants geofencing around occupied areas (they're the main ones complaining about it in the first place!).

Again, Elon is playing dumb on the usage of Starlink in the country. He already has implemented geofencing in Crimea (to hinder Ukrainian forces https://www.politico.eu/article/elon-musk-biographer-walter-... ), he's bragged about being able to watch network traffic in a war zone "On the phone, Musk said that he was looking at his laptop and could see “the entire war unfolding” through a map of Starlink activity. “This was, like, three minutes before he said, ‘Well, I had this great conversation with Putin,’ ” the senior defense official told me." https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/08/28/elon-musks-sha...

More, from months ago: "Ukraine's GUR military intelligence unit says Russian forces are using Starlink terminals on the front line, corroborating multiple media reports in recent days" https://www.techmeme.com/240212/p6#a240212p6 https://www.ft.com/content/e69c8c20-85a2-4e98-8b6f-46b92f428... (non-paywalled https://t.co/VmSlrxykHc) -- https://twitter.com/sambendett/status/1755608457280160187 -- and I could go on.

What about all the Starlinks in sanctioned countries mentioned above? No comment? (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-03-25/elon-musk...) And Taiwan would love having Starlink, but SpaceX did not find the general ISP terms for deployment there tenable, but denying US military use is a different issue https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/14/business/taiwan-starlink-...
Compared to US News they seem non-partisan but I'll accept that as a Brit, you can see their leaning. I'm not really interested in fast or ground breaking news in general. I feel like the 24 hours constant news cycle is a negative thing not a positive thing. I used to pay attention to CNN but I really can't stomach their efforts to make a huge deal about every trivial thing.
The code that launches my code (see ggml_compute_forward_mul_mat) comes after CLBLAST, Accelerate, and OpenBLAS. The latter take precedence. So if you're not seeing any speedup in enabling them, it's probably because tinyBLAS has reached terms of equality with the BLAS. It's obviously nowhere near as fast as cuBLAS, but maybe PCIE memory transfer overhead explains it. It also really depends on various other factors, like quantization type. For example, the BLAS doesn't support formats like Q4_0 and tinyBLAS does.

> This just in: forcing a mandatory selection from a mandatory screen results in people making a mandatory selection to go about their day. Even should users select at random, would this result in a market share increase for alternative browsers.

It doesn't make sense for an uptick in usage of smaller browsers to be just an artifact of forcing the decision, because the easiest and least cognitive overhead choice when forced to make that decision would be to just pick the default browser you would have used anyway, like Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android. So the uptick must be the result of people actually wanting different browsers now that they have been made aware of the other options and presented with a convenient Choice up front. Which makes sense for the eu, considering as other commenters have said the recent distrust and resentment of American tech companies there.

This is my biggest concern with bun and deno, they both look awesome and provide some really cool features out of the box, but I’m terrified that I won’t be able to fix a low level problem if one arises. I’m already dealing with the extra layer of AWS lambda, I find the trade-off to be worth it, but adding more complexity seems like a bad idea.
Sure, though I do also think its reasonable for those who love for someone to be concerned if someone seems depressed or similar.

I didn't actually read the OP as a concern focused on what their sister does, but a concern of why she may be spending her time that way.

Regardless, my point was just that doom scrolling, as an example, isn't purpose. If we're collectively losing the what the concept of purpose even is we really are in trouble.

But there was more to it than simply printing. There was the marketing to get it into bookstores, the hobnobbing, the ads, the shipping and returns. I suppose they could form a co-op and hire the talent.

"When bookstores, libraries, and schools order books for their brick-and-mortar locations, they use online catalogs populated by distributors. Even further, most distributors (including SPD, before it vanished) employ sales teams that work to get copies in Barnes & Noble, independent bookstores, and other retail outlets like gift shops."
This has been already solved even without LLMs for years: Google Translate, DeepL and Firefox Translate have done this use-case already, much more efficiently than LLMs.

I agree with everything you wrote, but also think that if you actually care about the other person getting better, you have to be pragmatic. Set and respect your own boundaries, but tough love does not work on everyone.
You trade that off by a healthy dose of foot guns and UB. And a non-existent standard library that encourages NIH write-my-own for the most common data structures. C barely does anything and it has a stark beauty of its own, agreed. And yet it is incredibly hard to write secure code with it.

I’ve concluded that this is likely the only solution despite the energy required.

Are you able to share any information about your setup for those who might be interested in replicating?
That a system is deployed doesn't mean it does what it is said to do. Specifically if we're talking about self-guided missiles or loitering munitions, those are designed to be destroyed on impact and so the requirements for autonomy are much smaller.

If you're talking about a gun drone that autonomously hunts down people and kills them, then that's not a technological capability currently available, at least not if you're interested in accuracy. Although, I guess that's the point, accuracy is often not a priority. Like early gun powder weapons part of the value of autonomous weapons is their potential for terror.
basically the most uncharitable explanation seems to be the true one.

I'm surprised that this implementation of xz written by... well... random people has been adopted so widely. I would've expected a more 'industrial' implementation managed by Google or Meta or something, but there isn't one.
You're missing the point. This is not peer pressure over what brand of jeans or shoes your kids wear.

It's at the heart of socialization itself, which is an important part of growing up healthy.

The analogies with drugs and gambling are also misplaced, because these things are illegal and/or generally frowned upon by parents, the legal system, and society as a whole. In other words, the exact opposite of what's happening here.

And, those things are illegal/frowned-upon for reasons you respect enough to use them as examples. That fact should actually help you see the point?
First, it's useful to separate things like watching porn and other explicitly private activity from actual speech and interaction, which are deliberate forms of engagement.

The anonymity we're talking about here is WRT the latter.

With that in mind, my point is that it's a social problem that people have to worry about death threats for expressing political opinions. It's not solved by people becoming anonymous at scale to offer up their opinions. In fact, this adds to the problem, in that anonymity tends to lead to increasingly offensive forms of expression (absent the social governor and accountability that are present IRL). Anonymity can change the motivation for engaging and remove constraints that have social utility.

It also makes it easy for bad actors to do their work.

Put simply, if people don't feel comfortable offering an opinion in person, then maybe it's not a good thing to give them an opportunity to offer it anonymously at-scale.

>Crazy shit is very culturally and contextually dependent

No. I'm speaking WRT the context of our discussion. That is, saying things anonymously online that one would not say in-person for understood social (or legal) reasons. e.g. threatening people, being overtly snarky, trolling, etc.

That's a pretty typical version of a System-on-Module prototyping board. I saw them during an internship at Qualcomm and another at TI. It's just a pin out of a basic phone screen, some interfaces (ethernet, etc) and places to hook up JTAG.
I was intrigued and looked that up. Found this which was very interesting: Paul M.A. Linebarger mentions the theory in Psychological Warfare, Infantry Journal Press, Washington D.C., 1948. He says:
"Germans liked things done in an official and formal manner, even in the midst of chaos, catastrophe and defeat. The Allied obliged, and gave the Germans various forms of very official looking ‘surrender passes.’ One is printed in red and has banknote-type engraving which makes it resemble a soap-premium coupon."

I’ve been in finance for nearly 20 years and okay, so, I’m kind of hesitant to admit… this is so great. Would love for my controllers to create such graphical flows of operating results. At some scale accounting gets pretty hard (hard as in at least one professor on the accounting policies team) and what I’ve learned from statistics is that graphics matter (Ross Ihaka, Andrew Gelman). With the appropriate abstraction any figure can get a graph of the constituting components. Moment of clarity here, thank you.

You are not responsible for another's illness. Nor their choices.

As already mentioned, the first item is false.

The second is also false: if you perform an attack against the supreme court, in an coup attempt, or if you menace ministers, or the judges of supreme court, it is the supreme court that will handle the case. Likewise, if I say that I will kill all judges in the world, if I am persecuted for this, I cannot use as defense the fact that no judge can judge me because they were the victims of my menace.

It is also false that inquiry 4874 do not specify a crime to investigate. Menacing ministers, unbased defamation or lies about people are crimes. And they become more qualified if these crimes are with the intent of attack the rule of law and support a coup.

Your legal comprehension of the case is low and you are just repeating the far right narrative, created so that they will not face consequences for their coup attempt.

I think Ansible is a little overkill for some projects tbh. Ideally I'd love a middle ground between bash scripts and Ansible, similar to Caddy's config simplicity over nginx.

>it’s light weight

Eh, don't think that's the case for everyone.

I dabbled with Ansible at a previous job, and set up a very basic personal server setup for Nextcloud and one other app. It was much slower than if I had just written some bash scripts. Idempotency was nice, but the feedback loop wasn't great.
Very cool series! I've been working on the same kind of project, so I'm looking forward to the rest of the entries! I'd love to know more about why you opt for a higher-half kernel. Most hobby RISC-V kernels I've seen don't map kernel memory into a process' address space, and use a trampoline page to transition between kernelspace and userspace. Does this approach avoid the need to have a distinct address space for the kernel, and reload its 'satp' during traps? I found that one benefit of not mapping my kernel memory to the higher-half was that things that need physical addresses, like VirtIO or OpenSBI methods, were more straightforward to implement. Since my kernel heap was essentially identity mapped.

Also, cool static-site-generator! Your code syntax highlighting looks great too.

Pan-African VC Verod-Kepple closes its first fund at $60M
The bigger problem for me isn't that I'm listening for 6 hours nonstop and the battery runs out. It's Bluetooth and the seeming lack of sleep on the devices when they're not playing anything. What happens is after a commute, I'll leave the earbuds in my pocket but the Android phone stays connected and they drain overnight. This might be because of the noise canceling staying on.

Either way I have to remember to turn off Bluetooth on the phone, because who's going to manually unpair and repair.

And the earbuds have no light on them in one case (Ankers) and no obvious way to turn them off without listening to a chime (Shures).

I'd like to just blame Bluetooth out of spite, but it seems perhaps a limitation of the drivers of those devices.
The term "Too Big To Fail" is probably inappropriate here (was it ever appropriate actually? banks should have been allowed to fail in 2008), indeed Facebook may well be replaced at some point (is Gen Z even on Facebook?), and AI might well replace Google's killer product: its search engine.

This said, I tend to agree with you, the power law exists and has to be maintained by big tech to control the content because a captive audience is soooo profitable.

Beside your tone, the post is not even about semantics at all.
The internet makes this really hard to enforce.

To sell drugs, cigarettes, alcohol etc, you need somebody to do the selling, and that person needs to be located wherever your customers are. If you break that place's laws, well, they probably have police who can put you in jail.

Social media is different, you can run a social media website targeted at Americans without ever stepping foot in the US, having a server in the US, having a business entity in the US etc. It's just some random Russian website, following Russian but not American laws, that some Americans like to visit. Sure, the US can try playing the cat-and-mouse game with you and force ISPs to block your site and all VPNs, proxies and TOR nodes that might presumably give customers access to it, but that's still a game one needs to play, and playing it isn't without consequences for the privacy and freedom of others, consequences most democratic governments aren't willing to bear.

Even if the government wins and somehow manages to block you completely, or put enough obstacles in your path that doing further business doesn't make sense, you still don't lose. You don't go to jail or face legal action, you just quit and focus on other countries instead.

I'm asking what makes introducing the multiplication syntax worth it in the first place.
I'm mostly referring to the fact that half the debugging was spent on a wild goose chase combing through integer types.

With unsigned integers, type aliases and pointer types this would have been a lot easier to keep track of. The limited range of primitive integers also means static analysis is basically impossible. Assing a pointer to an integer or vice versa and that's a code smell. Assign an integer to an integer and the compiler is none the wiser.
Because it is INTRUSIVE.

The advertising industry is fundamentally about intruding into your lives, and by that measure, the % of attention it can command.

The advertising industry (which is social media is that isn't colossally obvious) has relentlessly pursued increasing this percentage, and the smartphone was the physical means to achieve it, and newfound social addiction feedback loops the nitro turbo boost.

Even modern/new humans can't adapt to this. Older minds are crumbling into echo chambers, or withdrawing entirely. Paranoia takes hold.

Or is it paranoia? Or are your every move, thought, and action collected and categorized into a profile which is currently used simply for "advertising optimization", while in China it produces a worse-than-1984 dystopian system, and likely there are population profiling projects in US three letter agencies?

My internet profile is set in stone from my 20 years. Nothing I can do about it now. I'm purgeworthy whenever the totalitarianism grips the USA. Elections are becoming existential now, and that likely isn't paranoia.

While I've given a rational probability to all this, most people do not, they respond emotionally, especially to relentless stress and burden of processing unending perpetual advertising.

And as we all know, here comes the AI.
My understanding of double-entry bookkeeping is that it does not care who Alice bought the book from, nor what their accounts look like.
