I am not sure that argument can be made, since there doesn't appear to be data to support it. If anything, the data show the opposite.

What we do have data to support is that bombing apartment blocks and hospitals and refugee camps and aid convoys and aid warehouses all full of innocent civilians is illegal, even if you shout "human shield!" first, even if you really want to achieve your political or military aims, even if you claim you're saving more innocent civilian lives by doing so, even if you really want to "prioritize security". It's all still illegal, hence the court cases.

Would Israel tolerate the IDF killing innocent Israeli civilians in as great a number as they have killed innocent Palestinian civilians, to achieve the same aims? Likely not, which would make the behavior discriminatory based on race, religion, and/or national origin, too.

> it still seems reasonable enough for Israel to prioritize their own security. It may not be morally correct from a utilitarian perspective, but it's what pretty much any country would do, just as any parent would save their own child first in an emergency.

This makes it sound like you recognize Palestine as a different country (and thus deserving of international recognition, freedom, independence, self-determination, safety, and security). If so, good on you :) If not, Israel is obliged to protect Palestinian civilians under its rule equally to Israeli civilians under its rule. I wish I could say "there's no 3rd option where Israel abuses Palestinians under their rule for decades while taking no responsibility for their well-being", but we've all seen the past decades.
I have 24-200 on my Z8 and it rarely leaves the camera. I know what the snobs will say - it is unable to fully realize the resolution of the sensor and it has other optical shortcomings. All true, but I’m not going to bring my camera with me at all if I also have to bring a backpack full of lenses at the same time. When I actually need a ton of resolution, I can slap a cheap(ish) 40mm prime on. So kudos to Nikon for not bowing down to the snobs.

They seem to have made a choice that URL's do not include version numbers. Instead, the version is sent as a separate header. That would make it hard to link to a specific version. I suppose there's nothing stopping anyone from also having URL's for specific versions, but it's not standardized.

More generally, I'm unconvinced that synchronization should be so closely tied to HTTP, or that the metadata should be independent of the actual datatypes being synchronized. Any given application is going to need to implement not only a synchronization algorithm, but the datatypes being synced.

Contrast with git, where the data is standardized (file, directories, commits) and it supports many ways of communicating about the data.

(Though, at another level, git doesn't care what's in a file, and that's also true of HTTP.)

Does Keller's experience suggest that awareness of a self is a prerequisite for abstract thought and an inner dialogue? If so, it's interesting that (based on my layman interpretation) many forms of mindful meditation are oriented around the idea that the self is an illusion and just an abstract thought itself.

EDIT: thinking about this more you can interpret this experience as evidence that some form of grounding in the outside is necessary for abstract thought. For Keller that had to be language since she didn't have sight and sound.

> Why "peer-to-peer"? While Braid can be used in a local-first setting and probably do peer-to-peer, that isn't the focus here.

> The focus is to help application developers to not get into the shenanigans of CRDTs and distributed algorithms etc., but solve those things already via polyfills.

Yes, this ^^ is the initial focus, and is enough to provide value now.

However, ultimately we will generalize HTTP into a fully peer-to-peer system. Each extension we add provides a new dimension of p2p, and at some point we won't need servers at all. The big blocker to that, right now, is TLS+DNS, which are baked into the definition of https:// URIs. More on this at https://braid.org/meeting-2 in the "HTTP2P" talk.

You need to realize that open palm slapping your 2 year old (in public, no less) for accidentally kicking a table is not an "obvious attempt to generate outrage" when the act itself is obviously outrageous to anyone from a place where such things are illegal and seen as morally abhorrent.

Not to mention the fact that when they're not busy slapping their kids around they seem content to leave parenting up to an iPad.

IMO, these people are clearly, obviously unfit to be parents, and the state should intervene before more harm can be done. The children's names alone are tantamount to abuse, honestly..
I can tell this is true because every now and then with enough syntactic sugar I write code that CAN be read almost like language, and reading it that way takes a shift of mind that feels weird. It’s like putting on a different set of goggles.
It's not just 10k a month. it's 10k a month for the plan that allows you to BYOIP (Bring your own IP addresses). That was cloudflare's issue.

Their business was causing IP reputation damage and all plans but the enterprise BYOIP plans share the same IP pool.

Essentially it was "use your own IP pool and pay us for the cost of maintaining that pool for you or GTFO".

This wasn't just a normal sales rep hitting them up. This was trust and safety (i.e. the moderation team) coming to them with a compromise that would allow them to stay on the platform. They chose against that and were dragging their feet.

The timeline of the article also really makes this clear. This wasn't over the course of 24 hours. This started a full 4 weeks prior with sustained back and forth. They only included a few images of emails from the discussions but the article makes clear that there was more discussion happening.

And to quote the article. After receiving the ultimatum, they got an entire extra week to deliberate.

> We managed to buy a week of time by letting it escalate to our CEO and CTO and having them talk directly with Cloudflare.

Then finally when they told CF that they were just buying time while looking to move elsewhere, CF dropped their act of goodwill and the moderation team resumed the moderation action they would have taken in the first place had this been a smaller account.

So yeah it sounds bad from the snippets but this was basically "hey you are a big customer and you are breaking rules we would normally ban anyone else for but if you can compensate us we'll spend the labor hours and infra to let you keep operating in your own little quarantine box.". So this really should be seen as an act of goodwill rather than malice.

I run a YouTube channel that's mostly devoted to reading code: https://www.youtube.com/@ants_are_everywhere

I (try to) read code from popular open source projects. It's a bit like sight reading in music because the idea is that I go in blind and try to make sense of it.

This rings true to me:

> The researchers saw little to no response to code in the language regions of the brain. Instead, they found that the coding task mainly activated the so-called multiple demand network. This network, whose activity is spread throughout the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain, is typically recruited for tasks that require holding many pieces of information in mind at once, and is responsible for our ability to perform a wide variety of mental tasks.

There is language of course, but I'm not working hard to process the language so it wouldn't show up as an fMRI signal. I am often holding several things in mind at once, including things like what the code does, what the authors are trying to do, what the author's background might be, how similar software works etc.

I did study math, and it also doesn't really feel like reading or doing math.
With a casino, the issue isn't just domains, it's also IPs. That's why they pushed BYOIP so heavily.

At the risk of just being flippant, duh. Language is a means for expressing thoughts, feelings, emotions, and data. Code is a means for instructing a machine how to behave. One encapsulates as much of the experience of being a human as we've been able to cram into it, and the other is a shopping list. They are not the same.

What's your threat model here? That cloudflare will go rogue and... MITM your users? Can't they do that even if they're not in charge of your DNS? Even if you point an A record to them, that's enough to get a certificate via an ACME http-01 challenge[1].

The swap takes six minutes (example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmWL1hZQmD0). The swap stations charge the packs to 90%. So swapping in a 100 kWh pack that has been charged to 90 kWh is the equivalent of charging the car at 900 kW.

Nio will start introducing 150 kWh packs in the same physical form factor which they charge to 135 kWh. Swapping one of those in would be the equivalent of charging at 1.35 megawatts.

Note that the specific naming of hurl.dev is not random: hurl is a wrapper for curl, where the requests are stored in a plaintext file.

So hurl.dev didn't roll dice and got hurl, but consciously got a close sounding word.

In that sense, that makes one claim over the other a little more valid, in my mind, though you're right that clashes will have to occur.

I did get confused extra hard by the url = hurl.wtf, when hurl.dev is so close yet about different topic.

> In terms of converting electricity to heat it is almost 100% efficient like every other electric heating element.

except there are many types of heat pump in this world that routinely achieve well above 100% efficiency, since pumping heat from a cold heat bath to a hot one can cost significantly less energy than generating that heat resistively.
The funny unique characteristic of the economic science is that it’s almost the only science without experiments. We can have a multitude of tests and get close to reality, but it’s impossible to reset the initial environment, control variables or test in isolation. You can’t reset people’s minds, so reproducing twice on the same island won’t give the same results, reproducing on two islands won’t either, and reproducing with 3 months delay won’t put you in the same season. Even biology and psychology are much more controllable. It’s definitely a science, but with the same criticism as chess being a sport.

The use of this sort of anthropomorphic and "incantation" style prompting is a workaround while mechanistic interpretability and monosemanticity work[1] is done to expose the neuron(s) that have larger impacts on model behavior -- cf Golden Gate Claude.

Further, even if end-users only have access to token input to steer model behavior, we likely have the ability to reverse engineer optimal inputs to drive desired behaviors; convergent internal representations[2] means this research might transfer across models as well (particularly, Gemma -> Gemini, as I believe they share the same architecture and training data).

I suspect we'll see understandable super-human prompting (and higher-level control) emerge from GAN and interpretability work within the next few years.

You can also have a Shortcut that toggles the setting when you open and close specific apps.

I just did it and it’s very simple:

- in the Shortcuts app, go to Automations

- add a new one and pick “App” as the trigger

- choose the apps you want color in and pick “run immediately” and on open and close

- on the next screen pick “new blank automation”

- in the new shortcut add “Set Color Filters” and set to toggle

You can also make different automations for open and close, but toggle works as long as you toggle the effects manually. But in this case you can just toggle it back manually.

Are you familiar with "Fooled by Randomness" by Taleb? Here is one of the simple tricks discussed there. The details are of my own writing, the mechanics of it are as described.

How you can easily implement a Hedge Fund to beat the market and become a rich investment manager, that will show up every day on CNBC.

Step 1: Choose randomly 20 stocks from the hundreds in the NASDAQ and the SP500. Do this hundred times and create 100 funds.

Step 2: Let the funds run for a while and keep closing the worst performing

Step 3: At the end you will end with one or two that beat all market indexes

Step 4: After 3/5 years publish a full announcement page on the FT and Wall Street Journal, explaining how your Hedge Fund has consistently beat the market.

Step 5: Invite people to give you more money to manage, due to your amazing expertise.
Make sure to charge a 5% management fee. Show up on CNBC once in a while
for free, for increased exposure.

Step 6: Setup a Foundation to make sure you enjoy your billions tax free...

Another way to do, if you morals are let's say, more flexible, is setup several funds, trade your main ( profitable fund) again the other funds ;-)

I could do this all day...
I gotta say that I didn't feel very safe on night buses in London, despite the cameras. Besides Brussels, London is the only other city in which I've occasionally felt like I was in danger. It's still a fun city, to be clear, and it probably helps that it isn't a 24/7 city so that you don't end up in weird situations at night too much.

In the end the CCTV doesn't actually prevent anything from happening ...
It might be a different scenario with (modern) codecs where to get good use out of them it helps a lot to ship dedicated hardware. That's not true of file sync protocols.
Back when hard drives were MFM and up to 20 MEGAbytes and then RLL controllers came to make 20MB into 30MB and drives would constantly fail because they didn't even auto-park the heads on powerdown, SpinRite saved my butt many times.

I bought it up to version 5 if I vaguely remember correctly and I think I still have a sealed spare copy around somewhere (used to resell to customers).

If SpinRite was "fake" it sure did something for me.

I think the industry will turn around eventually. I don't know when.

Interest rates will come back down at some point. Again, I don't know when.

New use cases for software and advanced tech will pop-up. These will be staffed by people laid off from other industries, companies and new grads.

AI/ML will obsolete some jobs and open new opportunities for others.

Things look bleak now but the industry moves in cycles.

One thing that doesn't sit well with me is companies raking in money AND laying off people. I guess if your competition is doing it, you have to do it to. That's capitalism for you. We have chosen to live and die by it.
To me, the biggest dividing line between mediocre and good programmers is who they write code for.

The mediocre ones write their code for the computer/compiler/interpreter. When it works, they're done.

The good ones write their code for human readers to understand, including their future self.
you omitted the immediately following sentence...

>They only need to be cheaper than (IMO inevitable) carbon tax penalties plus the cost of these bricks compared to current methods, which is a rapidly falling curve.

this clearly indicates OP suggests they will become de facto cheaper once the traditionally externalized costs of environmental impact are accounted for.
To me reading code is reading math. It feels exactly the same. Same pattern about holding lots of things in mind at once.

If what you say was even remotely true, wages would increase automatically because there would be superior demand to offer. Yet this does not happen.

In the end business output is constrained by demand and unlimited growth is a big fat lie. There are only so many goods/services that can be sold to people.

At some point you run into a situation where everyone has more stuff than they know what to do with (especially true if it is working people, because they are time constrained) and there are more services on offer that they are needs for, regardless of price/affordability.

If you do a thought experiment and give everyone infinite money you will realize that you will be constrained by real world considerations, just like the housing market is constrained by location...
Okay, I played it a few more times and it definitely does not seem to be scaling up properly. Here is a game it was getting outplayed pretty substantially in the opening with equal material, but it severely misplayed even in tactical situations once things started to explode later on when it should have long since ramped up.

> The fact that you don't understand the difference between what amounts to a very dressed-up bad-block scan and ZFS scrubbing shows how under-qualified you are to be forming opinions on these subjects.

I thought I was pretty clear that I thought SpinRite was no longer relevant because of better file systems being available. Perhaps I should have elaborated in my comment that specifically the checksumming and redundancy provided by ZFS (and other filesystems) are what makes it scrubbing able to recover corrupted data. Data corruption that obviously SpinRite would be blind to.
> So here, by increasing the scope of your test suite from `prep` and `finish` to `sort`, you've achieved looser coupling between the test suite and what is being tested

But you won't have very good coverage of "prep" or "finish"

You can of course test those functions by carefully constructing test cases for "sort", but that essentially just re-introduces the coupling to implementation details at a higher level
