I'm the one who picked Slack over a decade ago for chat, so hopefully my opinion still holds weight on the matter.

One of the primary reasons Slack was chosen was because they were a chat company, not an ad company, and we were paying for the service. Under these parameters, what was appropriate to say and exchange on Slack was both informally and formally solidified in various processes.

With this change, beyond just my personal concerns, there are legitimate concerns at a business level that need to be addressed. At this point, it's hard to imagine anything but self-hosted as being a viable path forward. The fact that chat as a technology has devolved into its current form is absolutely maddening.

Spending a billion dollars take a lot of effort (or so I assume; I've "only" spent millions). People will ask annoying questions like "where is the billion dollars coming from, I had no idea you were a billionaire", and ask about AML etc.

Conversely, driving down the value of a company that's already worth billions is "easy": Just publicly demonstrate your willingness to drive the company totally into the ground.

Or if you want speed, and have access to the funds, the super-fast way would be transferring a billion worth of crypto to a random address.

For my part, my biggest "losses" were paper values in startups that failed or didn't get the exits we'd hoped for. There it's also "easy".
Your lecturing here seems to be making a lot of insulting assumptions unnecessarily. It's probably best to try and avoid giving 'advice' like this.
This problem has been solved by military factions since the late Roman period. The current electronic solution is the 3-way handshake of TCP[1]. If the city cannot be breached through brute force by either military alone then just wait. Each military has access to the outside world for food and resupply while the city starves, so just let the city starve to death and walk in without resistance.

In the early 1860s, just before the Civil War, a US Army Major, Albert Myers[2], solved this problem immediately with a tactical solution: signals. This was first exercised at the First Battle of Bull Run[3] by the confederate army. Though this was not electronic communication it initiated the race towards modern electronic communications in combination with the prior existing telegraph.

So, in consideration for this theoretical thought problem you can solve it by adding more variables, what the military calls METT-TC[4].

Austria does not rely on nuclear at all. The biggest power station in the country (south of Graz) went off grid a few year ago, because gas and coal became too expensive, but could be turned on immediately.

Zwentendorf of the very same size cannot be turned on again fortunately. The meltdown and earthquake risk with all the insecure Russian reactors around is of course still around.

On the other hand, steelmaking also uses limestone as flux, to remove impurities from molten steel. When heated on the steel this drives off CO2. Calcium oxide could be used instead, but then that has to be sourced without CO2 emission, just as in cement manufacture.

I think there are at least two ways to make lime without CO2 emission. The first is normal limestone calcination, but with CO2 capture. The other is to use calcium silicate. This means dissolution of the silicate with hydrochloric acid, separation of silica, then high temperature reaction of calcium chloride with steam to produce lime and hydrogen chloride. I understand there's a company trying to commercialize this latter process.

Yes, because rubber and asphalt do not really have a smooth surface unlike polished steel. So all the little bumbs give your car grip, but also cause friction, which is noise.

One of the reasons, why trains are better suited in theory for long distance transport, than trucks. Little friction, so more energy efficient.

Isn’t that another way of saying the optimization algorithm used in finding the network‘s weights (gradient descent) can not find the global optimum? I mean this is nothing new, the curse of dimension prevents any numeric optimizer to completely minimize any complicated error function and it’s been known for decades. AFAIK there is no algorithm that can find the global minimum of any function. And this is what currently limits neural network models: They could be much simpler and less resource hungry if we had better optimizers.

meh. I 'member the old phpBB etc. days... it was decent, but once Metasploit and Shodan entered the scene and you could buy DDoS attacks for cheap on the "darknet", the workload got so much harder for operators. Not staying up to date on patches? Your server got pwned in days if not hours - or in the worst case, you'd get someone trying out their newly discovered 0day, and there were lots of these in phpBBs code base. Some troll and/or pissed off user deciding to spend 10$ on a DDoS attack? You got yourself days of fighting cat-and-mouse to keep your server up. And that's before you got into the legally nasty stuff such as people using your board (or your server) to store warez or CSAM, and before "concerned parent" and anti-sex work troll groups made waves panicking about groomers, prostitution and drugs and got incredibly dumb regulations passed, not to mention the newest batch of anti-terror legislation requiring 24h response time throughout the year.

Moderation essentially became a full day job even for small communities and carried significant legal risk, which led many small boards to close shop because a bit of swag, events and occasional donations didn't cover the expenses by far. Reddit in contrast deals with CSAM, DMCA and DDoS stuff paid for by advertising and VC money, so unless you're a corp sub, you don't need paid mods just to keep the lights on.

> These were formerly hosted on different phpBB boards, which were also moderated by unpaid volunteers. As a bonus, generally one or two of them actually had to pay to host the forum.

Being hosted on a bunch of different boards also meant that the influx of "junk users" was waaaay lower. You had to discover it in the first place, usually by word of mouth, so organized trolls just looking for fights didn't even stumble upon them.

Subreddits in contrast? They get recommended by Reddit these days, right on the frontpage of billions of users. It's on the one side awesome for new niche subreddits, but on the other side it is an insane challenge for the mods of smaller subs to keep up. Once a sub gets recommended to users, work explodes, alone from the countless onlyfans spammers.

The point is that the subtitle's is pretty clearly intended to have a dual meaning, it wouldn't be phrased like that otherwise.

We know neural networks cannot solve the halting problem. But isn’t the question whether they can learn the transition table for game of life? Since each cell depends only on neighbors, this is as easy as memorizing how each 3x3 tile transitions.
That was really common among shareware developers back in the day, one guy sort of pretending to be a big serious company. I suspect Tim Sweeney was joining this trend but also mocking it with the name "Epic MegaGames".

There are young, talented, ambitious people graduating from school in Florida every year, but for tech they run into the same vicious cycle: there aren’t enough tech opportunities in Florida, so a lot of the most talented and ambitious will leave the state or find something else to do and the technology sector continues to be underdeveloped.

I think open communication in a toxic environment can obviously amplify toxicity or at least less open communication can act as a damper on toxicity.

Slack is surely not the generator of toxicity but it seems obvious it could act at increasing the bandwidth.

The industry should have started out with smaller cars and motorcycles with swappable battery cells. It would have solved so many problems in even deploying charge centers, but unfortunately, it means reduced profit. Tech Companies focus on monthly subscriptions and planned obsolescence to guarantee revenue streams so much now that it's making intentionally disposable products that will do far more environmental damage than fuel burning vehicles. We're making bike and bus lanes and speed cameras that bottleneck traffic, while wondering why no one wants to work. The lead EV manufacturing company is led by someone with astronomical wealth that is impulsive and erratic, despite having a faulty and way over-stylized product that many are buying, but most fail within the first 5-6 years, and sit dormant due to very high repair costs. Even the quality and long-term reliability of gas powered vehicles has declined for unknown reasons as they become primarily software-based, which some believe are the result of trying to encourage EV sales.

The reason why EV markets are faltering now are simple... They're just not very viable and reliable in their current form in comparison to traditional vehicles.

We all need to reject the "new mobile phone + plan every year" model of car ownership. Not only is it not sustainable, it's not environmentally safe.

> - The whole point of the name, "the imitation game", is to imitate a specific identity. The more precise an identity is, the more difficult it would be for an imposter to imitate it. Turing chose male vs female, but modern choices have generalized it down to 'human or not' which is of course vastly easier to imitate than a more specific choice.

Turing did introduce the concept of the game by having it played between a human man and human woman, with the man pretending to be a woman, but to my understanding this was just a stepping stone to move on to having the game played between machine and human.

I don't think the gender specifity was meant to stick around beyond that initial introductory example. If you mean how he says things like "imitation of the behaviour of a man", that's most likely intended generally rather than specifically male (particuarly as the "machine takes the part of A", which was the man pretending to be a woman).

> it didn't do that anyway or else East Germany would be a desert

Well it pretty much was compared to West Germany in 1990. And the little economic successes the GDR had were definitely not because, but despite our "beloved" Soviet Big Brother who didn't miss a chance to milk East Germany dry (lookup the uranium mining in East Germany from 1945 into the late 70s for instance - if the Soviet Union would actually have paid anything close to fair prices for the uranium, East Germany would have been much better off).

East Germany looks how it does today because West Germany also pumped massive amounts of money into rebuilding the economy and infrastructure after the reunification, just as the US did in West Germany after WW2.

I'm not ignoring the atrocities that Nazi Germany did in the Soviet Union during WW2 (and all of Eastern Europe btw, not just Russia, Belarus and Ukraine).

The 'semantics' was about your nitpicking of whether taking "spoils of war" is the same as "pilfering". I called it "moving" btw, which as far as I'm aware doesn't have any negative connotations (maybe in Russia, dunno).

The "whataboutism" remark is because you brought the "Great West" into the discussion out of nowhere. A true cornerstone of the Soviet and Russian propaganda playbook to deflect any criticism of the Soviet Union and today's Russia under Putin. The "Great West" had absolutely nothing to do with the complicated relationship between the Eastern half of Germany and our Soviet overlord.
Not quite, because it isn’t a fixed rate limit. Suppose you can handle 120 requests/second across all customers. If you have 3 clients with active requests, they each are being served 40 requests/second, even if one of them has filled up their maximum pending requests. If you have 6 clients, each are being served 20 requests/second.

If you are applying a fixed rate limit to each client, you’d need to adjust the rate limit dynamically based on the current number of clients in order to reproduce the same behavior.

There's a lot - all the "Death to America" rhetoric, white liberals being okay with other ethnicities openly advocating for their interests but whites doing so being gigabad. Generally refusing to act in the best interests of existing citizens vs. even illegal immigrants, or refusing to uphold laws out of care for the supposedly downtrodden with the result that cities turn into shitholes. celebrating old achievements of their own civilization being cringe, while celebrating those of other cultures' being lauded.

This does not mean the white liberals don't act in their own interest - their policies wrt eg. black schooling are some of the most heinous works of sabotage you could imagine, but the cloak it as compassion. More graduations and admissions, but less people able to actually read or do math.
It's not like lithium-ion batteries have a fixed number of cycles. It depends heavily on how you use them. At reasonable temperatures and keeping within 30-70% SOC they last a lot, lot longer than if you use them fully or at elevated temperatures.

For something like a big battery station, you can easily ensure the optimal battery conditions for long life.

And then there's using alternate chemistries as mentioned.

Of course. I can buy for example that it's hard enough to learn Rust that you wouldn't want to teach say, Chemists to write Rust rather than Python when showing them some Computational Chemistry, even if maybe the ones who "got it" would be better programmers your focus is Chemists, not programmers.

Or on safety we should not write new codecs in general purpose languages, including Rust, because these languages necessarily (Rice's theorem) can not check the semantic constraints we want to deliver safe codecs. We should use WUFFS. WUFFS is also a hard language to learn and as a special purpose language it's not applicable to most problems people have, but it is inherently safe† and delivers extraordinary performance so that's the right choice for this particular work.

† In C++ bounds misses are Undefined Behaviour, likely a security disaster. In Rust bounds misses cause a panic, likely premature program exit. In WUFFS any code which can have a bounds miss isn't valid, you get a compiler diagnostic saying you wrote this wrong, fix it.
