So here’s the timeline of your “favourite”.

NBC Tweets (https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1768075901802066036)

> Elon Musk and conservative influencers have spread unverified claims to millions, smearing Haitian migrants as cannibals as they endure deep uncertainty about the future of their country and family members still there.

Elon Responds (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1768172021580480967?s=20)

> What do you call this? https://x.com/RoeMasterNYC/s/RoeMasterNYC/status/17676699431...

Linking to a video that was removed by X itself that includes claims that Haitians practice cannibalism.

So half the claim is proven by Musk’s own words that he believes Haitians practice cannibalism.

The second, less important, half of the claim is whether he believes Haitians are “invading” the U.S.

I cannot find any evidence of him having used the term “invading” in this context but he himself in addition to the false claims of cannibalism is claiming that there is at the very least a likelihood that there are cannibals amongst the immigrants. (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1768057534651269328)

> If wanting to screen immigrants for potential homicidal tendencies and cannibalism makes me “right wing”, then I would gladly accept such a label!

—————

So other than the use of the hyperbolic term “invading” (which Elon Musk has used for immigrants in general in the past so it’s not completely inapplicable), everything else about that article seems accurate based on Elon’s public tweets themselves.
When you say "Mention Schneier," do you mean Schneier himself or Applied Cryptography specifically? I was unaware of any particular generalized disdain for the man, though I'm certainly aware of plenty for the book, which you've summarized quite well.

I remember in the intro to one of his later books (Cryptography Engineering, I think), Schneier actually apologized for making a book that was in many ways quite dangerous, and said his newer work was in an effort to make something a bit more focused on providing people with the firm foundations they'd need to do responsible work in cryptography.

That said, Applied Cryptography is a very inspiring book in many ways (which is both the best thing and worst thing about it, because it's not obvious upon reading it just how unprepared the reader is to act on that inspiration). I really wish someone would go write a new Applied Cryptography that dreams and inspires as much, but balanced with perspective and caution, and based on more recent developments.
Glad to do my part by switching over my entire family to DDG on apple devices.
This is very bad news. Primarily because we have not socially recovered from the last pandemic.

If this turns out to be serious, what's the public's appetite for masks? Lockdowns? New vaccines? For many people it's quite low. For others it's quite high. And the disagreement between these groups will become another political flashpoint.
I think the best approach to take with personal knowledge bases or any knowledge data, is to have the ability to bring your data in and out as one pleases.

In my flow, I use a hybrid Zettelkasten-based approach to linking notes. vscode, zettlr, logseq, obsidian all render correctly. I am happy to see more tools which exhibit more of this "bring your own data" mantra.
No kidding. That would be interesting even if it would be a monstrous task - a third party iOS SDK.

In theory, it's possible. Apple would be livid though.
early retirement is pretty much entirely about spending. Given this forum's topic, about 100% could retire early if they're happy with their current lifestyle.
Yeah, this is worth at least as much as Kagi or Copilot is to me right now.
I do wonder how many of these comments are disinformation bots trying to undermine the tech communities faith in established media
Hopefully the EU is not satisfied until the status quo is such that one can program, build, distribute and have their users run native apps without ever entering into a contractual relationship with Apple.
The non-chronological feed renders FB close to useless. So much for "driving engagement" at least for this user.

What campus protesters get wrong about divestment
I am a strategist at a smallish boutique quant investment firm. This is how we think about hiring a junior person. It's not all that different for a more senior person, but actual development experience would likely be more important, we would expect more contribution sooner from a more experienced person. More senior jobs also might have more specific responsibilities and therefore require more specific knowledge of technologies, etc. Many junior analyst roles support the team as a whole and there is less concern around experience with specific technologies, typically.
Yes. I believe that the standard workaround for this problem is to place the allocator metadata for an entire block at some fixed address boundary, so you can just mask off the bottom K bits of an address to find the allocator metadata for the block, and from there find the metadata of the allocation you're concerned with.
Hedge fund comp is extremely skewed. When I worked at one, in good years my boss made more than 10x what I made, and I made about 10x what my reports made.
> Source?

To which language?

> `enum` is a "true" enum, while an `enum class` somehow isn't?

No. Enums are used in both cases. The difference there is in the types the enums are applied to. In one case, a basic integer-based type. In the other, a class.

This differs from Rust. Rust does not use enums. It relies on the type itself to carry all the information. C++ enum classes could have done the same, so it is not clear why they chose to use enums, but perhaps for the sake of familiarity or backwards compatibility with the regular enum directive?

This seems like a logic error to me in the context in which it is said (TFA).

> We believe anyone with a good idea and the ingenuity to bring it to life should have the opportunity to offer their app to the world.

Should that have include "by 'anyone' we mean any person in the EU"? If not, then shouldn't this change also be rolling out worldwide? Or does that statement actually have nothing to do with this fee change and is just unrelated PR BS? Hard to think of any third alternatives, but if there are I'd like to hear them.

Why this obsession with native apps? Just put your program online, and now the entire planet can get to it.
But a lot of games are cute and fun to play that do not succeed
"Serious Cryptography" is good. There's an updated edition dropping later this year.

"Real World Cryptography" is also good.
Word to the audience here, many of whom are in a similar position. Please just keep quiet about it.

Not because that's the decent thing to do while other people are struggling, there's a technical reason I'll explain.

The Fed's inflation target is to stimulate "job growth". That is a euphemism for debasing money (via money supply expansion , aka QE & other tactics) so that people have to work harder.

What it also means is that people who may be comfortable managing life & responsibilities with partial work or early retirement are forced back into the workplace.

Sure it's great you have 7 figures of assets and are outside of the crashing wave. But the entire workforce & those at 1-1.5 Σ are running on a treadmill that's increasing in velocity.

the more you brag about having the money to retire, the more signals you send to the Fed and policy makers to keep cranking up the money supply treadmill to keep the pressure on working people.
I saw it as ... akin to poetry, almost?

Then again I was once a pure math grad, so "beautiful, fascinating, albeit completely practically useless" is something I mean as a compliment.

I need to read up on Stem and then come back and read this post of yours again to better appreciate it, I suspect. But that sounds like fun.
I don't want to spoil the surprise, but this is worth the read just for the "twist" at the end.
But that is the PE playbook. Take businesses and squeeze as many profits out of them before they die.

Could be an apples to oranges comparison given how anxiety inducing entrepreneurship is. If you consider anxiety as a mental health issue, 87.7% is an underestimate
This is what people mean when they use the term soulless capitalism. The increasing financialization of everyone leads us to optimize for the things we can measure assuming those are the things that matter, and in the end the optimizations erase everything good.
Not made of people. Vivianite forms plenty of other ways too.
The intention was "any email associated with the user". You submitted an email address, Gitlab looked up the account associated with it, then sent the reset email to the supplied address. The issue was they didn't consider what would happen if you submitted an array of emails.
I used Obsidian with iCloud sync and a sync plugin for a long time.

Then I wanted to support the project and subscribed to their official sync service. I still use the sync plugin, but only for write-only backups
You'd think they could cover it with the yearly developer fee and constant hardware updates (Gotta get a new Mac if you want the latest version of Xcode to support the latest iPhone, which you'll also need to run the latest iOS since the simulator is never enough).

This is just greed.
Some things you just can't do without a native app, especially on mobile.
What an out of touch comment
Native apps can still do/access a lot more things than a web app. Though now I'm curious: is there any web app that allows Apple Pencil input properly?
The web is distributed HyperCard. A website is basically a hypercard stack (albeit more text-centric than bitmap-centric) it's visual, card/page based, scriptable, and hyperlinked.

Get him to put together a hello world page from scratch and get it published on a live domain and he will be hooked for life.
At least in the US, health care costs in old age are unpredictable and nonlinear. Long term care - where in an assisted living facility - or in home nursing can get expensive to the point of depleting savings of even reasonably wealthy people.
Those space characters are how it makes space actually a thing rather than just another character as it was beforehand.

I don't see how you could do that -without- a literal space being relevant in that way once.
Might not be for everyone, but using git to index markdown notes + linking it against cloud storage like dropbox/icloud to have it available on phones/tables have served me well over the last 5 years.

Fully agree, and is a complex matter, as apparently LLVM has Linux kernel level of contributions, not only due to companies, but also PhD/Masters being done on it.

And as such C++ will stay around for a long time, even if everything else on top would be another language.
Since when do web apps on iOS have parity with native apps? Android does a better job, but native apps are always more privileged.

The vocals definitely did not inspire me to want to find more. However, the guy playing the pipes toward the end was very impressive. The first person got short changed in showcasing his abilities. As someone that only played a woodwind instrument in middle school through high school, I never was able to do the circular breathing. This guy was impressive to me with his ability, and I did like the song as well. Then there was the conductor, but I always laugh at the mime-like performances they put on.
Agreed, as far as I can tell, this is the only one in the space that doesn't insist upon a monthly payment.
What kind of approach did you take? I was thinking along the lines of requiring something like rewind.ai or some program that autoscreenshots your screen at a set interval (or originally a recorded video split into several images later) and having a vision-capable model (particularly specialized in UIs) describe these set of images in order to build a dataset of images-tags-description and the like.

COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing. Deaths are down compared to 2020, but during the winter thousands of people a week were dying, people are getting injured, early retirements are way up, and disabled people are trapped at home (which never happened to most of us lol, lockdowns are police enforced, we could still go outside anywhere we wanted for the most part).

Right wing bot networks continue to harass anti-COVID activists to reinforce the hegemonic idea that it's over so that rich people can clean up.

Here's a joke: What's the difference between the right and liberals on COVID? About 6 months.
From my experience, the best way to get a pay increase is to code software for things closer to the trading system. Write code that makes a trading app faster and increases PnL, you'll make more money via bonuses. If you're writing back office code doing data loading, trade reconciliation or other "housekeeping" stuff, you'll not see the same comp.

Because of this, getting a SWE role that is assigned to a trading team is highly desired.
No, that isn't ironic or self-defeating. Feyerabend was a member of more than half a dozen respected philosophy departments around the world. Hubbard was a science fiction writer that started a religion. There are in no way equivalent.

Again, you really don't seem to know what you're talking about here, at any level.
> Data?

Sure [0]. You can also look at historical US rebellions, such as Shays' rebellion - where a principle demand of the working class rebels was that the US government print more money.

> Inflation is absolutely a way to steal the already meager savings of the working class.

Exactly why inflation is generally beneficial to the working class, generally their savings are insignificant while their wages are very important - it raises their wages while reducing the value of savings & debt, which hurts people who have lots of savings and helps people who are living off of their wages.

I'm not sure about where these orangutans live, but my guess would be that, if it is not a thing the orangutans knew, centuries of living alongside humans... they probably picked up a thing or two. They're quite smart creatures.

> Apple using a 512-bit memory bus on its Max processors is indeed the future of APUs if you ask me.

It's very expensive to have a bus that wide, which is why it's so rarely done. Desktop GPUs have done it in the past ( https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/?buswidth=512%20bit&so... ), but they all keep pulling back from it because it's too expensive.

Apple can do it because they can just pay for it and know they can charge for it, they aren't really competing with anyone. But the M3 Max is also a stonking huge chip - at 92bn transistors it's significantly bigger than the RTX 4090 (76bn transistors). Was a 512-bit bus really a good use of those transistors? Probably not. Will others do it? Probably also no, they need to be more efficient on silicon usage. Especially as node shrinks provide less & less benefit yet cost increasingly more.
This function is O(1): https://github.com/scotts/streamflow/blob/master/streamflow..... All other tree operations are also constant, because the fact that it is a 3-level tree is hardcoded.

Asymptotic bounds are useful when your input can grow arbitrarily large. When your input is fixed, the bounds become less useful and you should focus on the particulars of your case. In the case I'm presenting, the work done traversing the tree will be the same every time; it is O(1). That doesn't necessarily mean it's fast enough! It still may do too much work for the use case. For instance, I can imagine someone saying that the function above does too much pointer chasing for their use case.
