I've noticed something like that. Something I see a lot is a years old account with no account history prior to the past few days, spamming unoriginal content.

Check /r/interestingasfuck, /r/satisfyingasfuck, /r/natureisfuckingcute, hellsomememes, and a lot of other subs.

Qualities of subs particularly susceptible to such spam:

* Subs that don't require OC (not news, not a hobby sub)
* Subs that don't demand proof of identity (/r/selfies, /r/glowups)

So, counter to the quote you cited, I still see a lot of karma farmers on reddit, and like you say, they'll often do what you and I describe and then turn into an Onlyfans account, or something like that.

reddit is just such a goddamned cesspool, and I am so curious as to what nefarious actors are doing on it and why they're doing it.

Different topic, but I'm ranting: The political echo chambers are wild. Places like BadHasbara, Palestine, IsraelExposed, Conservative, Libertarian, antiwork, WorkersStrikeBack, Anticonsumption, all have wild agendas that will instaban anyone who challenges the dreck that gets posted there.
This person's entire argument is that the (A)GPL is "viral", and therefore companies have no right to relicense the software they own the copyright for, and they should be sued.

He doesn't quote any specific part of the (A)GPL that supports his argument (frankly, I doubt he's ever read it), he just keeps throwing out the buzzword "viral" as if it means anything. He clearly doesn't understand the concept of CLAs and copyright law in general.

This is a very bad post, and I'm surprised it made the front page.

Computers "act" on behalf of the human(s) who own them. Are we gatekeeping how humans can learn? You can learn with your own brain and maybe a pencil and paper notebook, but your computer cannot help you learn?
The author sort of brushes aside the idea that it became unfashionable due to it no longer being a status symbol in the footnotes, but I think that is basically the answer, but with another step in between.

When ornamentation became cheap and mass producible, it also frequently became _ugly_. Tacky knockoffs of appealing designs became far more common than the original decorations. So much more so common in fact that it became the default association people have with decorative ornamentation. A plain white plate is making no pretensions and is exactly what it appears to be, but the same plate stamped with a pattern is something that's trying and failing to appear fancier than it is. Worse, a hand-painted plate will be assumed to be a cheap stamped plate.
The article starts with "Elon Musk has shut down the division that runs Tesla’s Supercharger business, dismissed two senior executives and fired hundreds more staff as the electric-car maker continues its restructuring amid a sharp downturn in the EV market."

I was thinking, "sharp downturn in the EV market?" So I looked up some stats and found "US EV sales reached 1,119,251 in 2023, up from 760,329 in 2022, 462,247 in 2021, 245,586 in 2020, and 230,761 in 2019."

There's no "sharp downturn". It's just people getting fed up with a fascist spokesperson, a product that has looked dated for years now, and better options available. I wish we still had decent journalists.
> This is totally a data breach. Show another customers data to a random person = data breach.

Yep you're right, legal definition of a data breach includes "someone’s personal information is sent to the wrong person."

https://www.oaic.gov.au/privacy/your-privacy-rights/data-bre...

> Generally, bugs are responsible for most data breaches.

Sometimes. I don't think you could call all security vulnerabilities bugs. In this case, it was a bug that showed people the wrong flight details.

> You are downplaying the incident here. "Strangers" definitely did "access" other peoples' information. Just because it wasn't malicious doesn't mean data hasn't been breached.

Well I'm downplaying from the over sensationalised (in my opinion) language in the article. Strangers saw the wrong person's flight details so access was given to that information, but the way it's worded makes it sound as though a stranger was able to pick a person and view their information, or download a bunch of information and view it.

To me, seeing one other person's flight details when you login is far less dramatic. Like the headline here could refer to a vulnerability in their system which enabled me to, say, vary a query parameter or change the email in settings to any email and then see that person's flight details.

The case is more like accidentally sending a text message to someone with the wrong flight details and allowing them to reply Y or N to confirm the flight.

If the headline said "Bug in Qantas app shows people the wrong flight details" (which I think is a much more accurate description of what happened) we probably wouldn't be having this discussion and 7news would have missed out on about 100k hits (although to be fair the HN crowd is probably pretty skewed towards using ad blockers ... )
This topic shows up every month,l. People surround themselves with different objects of different aesthetics for different reasons. Ornament is beautiful, ornament is noise, its just relative. I think the author admires either specific aesthetics or the value craftsmanship, which might be easier to spot in highly decorated objects, but it's arguably subjective!
You have to wonder if there's some 1-5% of humans who don't meet the bar of being self aware. They seem to exist as parodies of people who can't learn or reflect on past actions. Being on a continuum would make a lot of sense with the sharpest crows and dullest people maybe crossing over a bit.
Only in that massive marketing was done to promote large vehicle classes (both minivans and SUVs) over traditional passenger cars because of loopholes in safety and efficiency laws which made them either exempt or less-constrained by them, and—while some of those laws caught up—the resulting cultural impact was sticky.
Seconded. I’m guessing you could create an implementation that is able to do that and then write optimised triton/cuda kernels to accelerate them but need to investigate further
> Risking something for a protest is the whole point.

I can think of a number of protests that didn’t involve risking one’s career, livelihood, or life - that were pretty successful outside the workplace. Inside the workplace, it’s not a public venue and you don’t have the right to occupy offices and sit ins and disrupt work while expecting the company to pay you for that time.

Get realistic. They aren’t heroes. They are trespassers. Disruptive ex-employees that cost the company money. Now if they did this right outside Google offices on the streets, that’s a different story all together. That’s a public place. However, many states have at-will employment so if the company feels you no longer represent their interests, you’re done. Bye. Doesn’t matter the cause.

I don’t see how anybody would have been confused in that scenario? People start new companies with new names all the time.

> If you built the ornate street lamps today, even if it was in style, it would likely be decried as "unnessecary spending".

I think this is one of the author's weaker points because ornate street lamps are still built and installed pretty regularly today. They're pretty common in the more pedestrian-focused parts of cities where people are actually looking at the street lamps, while the purely functional ones go in car-centric spaces.
Yes, I think you are too jaded. It's fine to be wary, but wrong to think these two groups are the same. Don't forget that our Senate is broken, so no legislation passes without an inordinate amount of rural, conservatives states backing it.

So legalization may still be a political hot button, but give it time. One party supports it, one party opposes it. Dan Patrick, Lt. Gov. of Texas, is going to push the state to ban hemp-based Delta 8 products in the next session.

One party is regressive, one party is receptive and secular.

Why do you need logs for that though? You could also use metrics and define the alert routing based on thread holds and alerting rules there. Also has the advantage that you can alert before something bad happens by looking at how a time series develops (like for example disk space)
My Remote Desk, 2024
The entire Slow Horses series has been great so far. Not many shows have clever writing that makes me laugh, enough suspense to keep me hooked, and has enough plausibility to make it a worthwhile watch. Gary Oldman combines slovenly, cunning and comedic in a character that is at times lovable(?) but also equally objectionable. Personally, I like the entire cast and hope we get a couple more seasons.
There's also a benefit for things that are meant to start discussions. You can respond to a given fragment without workarounds like a partial "> quote" at the beginning of your message.

Some people amplify that by splitting the messages at logical boundaries rather than just when the space runs out.
I guess because businesscosts weren't calculated to be as competitive as possible and labour was far cheaper, so it wasn't a problem for people to take their time and build solid things. Now we just want super fast machines that produce as much as possible with the least amount of humans involved.
The modern streetlights are quite a bit different in function and design goals. They are quite extended over the road, which has engineering challenges, and are made with different materials.

Most importantly, nobody wants to pay for them to be decorated, especially when the labor to do so is far more expensive than in the past.
Funny timing – I just ran into this great Veritasium video which speaks of Lightcone theory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6akmv1bsz1M
True, and there are CNAs, LVNs, and RNs, which all have different responsibilities - to your point both the CNA and RN seem safe for now, it's really the patient intake and information piece.

Some mechanic positions will be replaced by AI - probably similar to medical where those operating machinery and those making important judgments are fine for now, but asking about parts/comparisons, giving/getting info about my car, etc. will be an LLM - maybe even self-serve with a friendly UI. I can see a lot of front-of-house - everything from fast food to oil changes, being just AI.

Automotive engineers at automakers will also use LLMs though, but more like software developers, probably text-to-CAD type generation to automate work or come up with ideas, so in this analogy the modern-day drafter is replaced by AI.
> We as a society make a significant distinction between declining to provide something in the first place, and choosing choosing to take back something someone already possesses. To wit:

>> At what point do we fault someone for not putting in work to delay someone else's death?

> That isn't what is happening. I'm faulting someone for putting in work, to expedite someone else's death.

My understanding is someone on ECMO needs continuous monitoring and infusions of things. You could put in work to proactively remove them from ECMO, hastening their death. Or you could stop putting in the work to continue the treatment and let what happens happens. Are those equivalent?

Maybe the machine needs maitenance to continue functioning and you don't do it.

Maybe you designed the machine so that it must be disconnected every 30 days, so that the default is death after a month and the doctors have to actively choose to replace the machine every 30 days if death is to be avoided.
> When ornamentation became cheap and mass producible, it also frequently became _ugly_. Tacky knockoffs of appealing designs became far more common than the original decorations.

My observation of taste has been that most people have little.

Consequently, they'd just as soon buy an imitation of the thing they think they need rather than the real thing, if they can save a buck. (See: vanilla, modern McDonald's)

As a result, there's a race to the bottom as soon as a thing is being sold in mass quantities. Because there is little quality differentiation, it's mostly judged on price.

Consequently, you get Amazon-fancy.

Which is some cost-optimized pastiche of what a tasteless manufacturer perceives historical luxury to be.

Basically everywhere (at the upper end of the market). It's all the rage to have hyper local dishes made from local ingredients. Many places it's no longer a beef burger but a hand crafted burger from Dave and Sue's farm 10 miles up the road.

Here's an update and added context to the Cicero Magazin article about Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck:
"Top German Greens officials accused of deception in nuclear phase-out advice"
- After months of obstructions, a German high court forces the German government to disclose key internal memoranda regarding a nuclear phase-out following the Russian attack of Ukraine at the end of February, 2022.
By Gene Nelson, Ph.D. April 28, 2024 https://tinyurl.com/Greens-fraud There will be additional developments in this story.
My reading of the article was that the defence for why there aren’t more intricate details is because people think it’s more expensive due to complexity of production. He then went on to broadly say that shouldn’t be the case due to scale economy etc.

He actually also did mention that some things are simple yet still ugly.

The patterned china case though was precisely for arguing the more complex manufactured piece product being cheap AF.

I don’t think the author claimed it was bad to prefer simple, just that lots of public goods stuff are boring looking these days. I feel that way about a lot of concrete I see.

I would push back on “single most mainstream”. These decisions are not made by some voting mechanism. Many times it’s a local optima of loud complainers and opinionated decision makers. The most mainstream people actually can’t be bothered by most things, but would appreciate (IMHO) some intrigue from time to time.

Another related thing: HGTV disease. Where the house is all white everything…which I have a preference to now…but I do wonder if it’s just memetic influence of what people say looks nice.
Make it a joke brand like "Johnnie Cochran" so you can't be taken seriously but lowkey it's very good
Which package?
What you're saying is how people generally think the law works, but it's not how it works in practice. This is easily illustrated with possession of drug paraphernalia charges. There's two types of possession, actual and constructive - but both face the exact same charge. Constructive just means something like 'could be reasonably accessed.'

So imagine you're in a car, get pulled over, it smells of weed so the cop executes a search, and he finds a pipe in the glove compartment. You're getting arrested for PDP there 100%. Even if it genuinely wasn't yours, you stand very little chance of acquittal. Beyond a reasonable doubt doesn't mean 'is there some other viable explanation' because there literally always is. It means is it reasonably likely that one of these other explanations is what really happened.
Rate has been a secret sauce for a long time. Only described in an out of print magazine or very expensive books.

Today the open articles about it are much better. But for awhile, it was elusive.

One of the big advantages of Rete is the culling of the rule base that needs to be evaluated based on the working/changed data set. If you have a 1000 rules, and assert “age=35”, Rete will only select those rules that deal with age, for example.

I’ve been on several projects where a rules system was appropriate, but they never really needed more that a few hundred rules. So we just wrote simple engines that would take a soup of expressions, and keep running through them until the working set stopped changing.

There was a lot of expressiveness with the rules, making development much simpler, and it was fast enough to brute force its way through the rule space and get the results.

Larger rulesets or deeper ones (where there are a lot of derivative rules based on previous rule results) can certainly warrant the complexities of a full boat Rete system.

But a simple system can take you quite a long way on modern hardware.
Lab mice might be doing their own experiments
I would posit another option: mass manufacture improved the profitability of things manufactured at scale. The bigger the scale, the lower the cost.

As such, the least expensive things will always appeal to the greatest number of people.

Plain things are things that most people find acceptable. Ornate (or even just highly stylised) things are things that some will love and some will hate. It's just things being made that are "least polarising".
I think it’s likely that the explanation is that the state space of ornamented things is larger. So, if you sell ornamented things, your market for each version is smaller.
Once you go down this path though, what do you need any logs for?

Logs are standard and easy, which is why people use them.

I have heard of people calling emergency numbers to test if a phone is working, but never a country making that impossible. Here, I had always assumed that repeated nuisance callers would be investigated to see if there's an actual problem, and charged with a crime if they're doing it for no good reason.

Always thought it would make more sense to have a dedicated "test number" for this purpose. Probably with some rate limiting.
> It's usage numbers might have something to do with it being available in every browser on the planet.

but clojurescript is available, so if clojure is truly as superior as javascript, it would make a lot of sense to use this. And indeed there are apps that do, but overwhelmingly more apps just use plain javascript. But when typescript came along, a lot of people switched to it. So it cannot be just merely compiler/build friction imho.
In that case it ceases to become a gateway drug once legal.
