Way back ~1990, when internet email was first being rolled out to non-technical employees at fairly-tech-savvy orgs, I noticed that there were a very small minority of people - yes, generally non-technical older women - who suffered from "Recreational Sharing Disorder". It didn't matter if the stuff was blond jokes, or "everyone has to pray for Katie, who has cancer", or "forward this 1,000 times and there will be world peace", or what. Obviously they had neither filters for credibility, nor good filters for respecting other peoples' time budgets and expressed interests. And as the number of connected users expanded, a tiny % of RSD cases could quickly generate enough email traffic to badly impact a site's email service. (Which was usually dial-up modem or fractional T-1.)

Mathematically, it was very interesting. And with an occasional reminder from management, they could pretty-well control their RSD at work.

These days, there's a toxic hot mess of politics and emotions laid over the whole situation. But it might be useful to recall that the underlying problem is mostly a network with a very large N, and the bell-curve distributions of certain human behaviors.
Alas, I fear even if we had a perfect utopia where it was easy to give everyone the choice between fake news that reinforces their beliefs and unopinionated, factual news, it won't turn out any different than placing a bunch of hungry children in a room where there's a table of sweets and a table of nutritious vegetables.

Hell, even if it was adults given some training for self-control, the vast majority of them will dip into the sweets table from time to time.

People are really good at rationalization, such that even if they know up-front which choice was fake news and which was not, I bet you'd similarly observe a significant fraction (if not majority or super majority) of people choosing the fake news to feel better.

Sadly, I'm unaware of any real solutions to the fake news problem that don't make things even worse.
How is this argument different from "Whichever side shouts loudest and longest wins."?

Volume is not equal to facts or truth.

Yes, censorship is dangerous.

But the article is NOT an argument for censorship.

Everyone knows the sagacious Mark Twain quote: "A lie will fly around the whole world while the truth is getting its boots on".

Social media puts that effect on rocket fuel. When some cohorts are using that to consistently and disproportionally amplify lies, it is very reasonable to add a small amount of friction, or require someone to prioritize what they repost. This does zero to stop posting lies, it only forces them to select the highest quality — to them — set to repost.

It is no different from the restriction on this Hacker News site; if you post too much here, you get a message like "Please slow down, you're posting too fast.", and you cannot repost for several hours. I have not seen anyone crying "CENSORSHIP!!" over that restriction. I also doubt there exists anyone who would think that the discussion on Twitter is better than HN.

So, why are you crying "CENSORSHIP!!" about a similar proposal for other social media (and be sure to address how a restriction on volume has zero restriction on any specific content)?
Imagine getting clipped by one of those winglets because someone cuts a curb while you're waiting at a crosswalk.
Fake news consist of blatantly false facts and conspiracy theories. The NEWS bit is there because these stories are suggesting something specific happened or was revealed. If it says ‘Ukraine invaded Russia,’ that’s fake news. More often it’s conspiracy crap like “Deep state behind X!”

It’s not so ambitious because it’s dificult to completely avoid facts. Political discourse regularly refers to actual facts ‘Russia invaded Ukraine’ is the kind of thing you can fact check and it passes.

Politics also uses facts in misleading ways. The kind of things where Fact Check goes: “Trump wrongly said the judge wouldn’t allow an “advice of counsel” defense. Before the trial, Trump’s attorneys chose not to seek such a defense, and Merchan held them to that decision.” aren’t what most people refer to as Fake News. From a certain point of view ‘Darth Vader killed your father’ and Social Security may tax income but it’s not income tax because we have a tax called Income Tax yadda yadda.
I’m curious if you think any of these corporate media networks are actually speaking truth to power.
This is UI theory gone wrong. The idea that users will give feedback more freely when something looks unfinished is at best a non-validated theory.

This used to work with actual paper prototypes. But going the extra length to make UI designs look hand-drawn, when the users know full well they are computer generated is just busy work.

Showing the users what the actual design might look like works better and it actually captures important design choices such as shapes, colors, proximity, etc. that users care about.

I have been to many UX tests. Regardless of sketchy design look or not, the user will either have no problem providing feedback or they won't give useful feedback. It mostly depends on the person, not on what you show them.

you can also buy leaner cuts of meat. for example flank steak, etc. stuff that needs marinated or slow cooked, and has less fat. also grass fed steaks tend to have less fat (they aren't force-fed corn and soy to fatten them up)
So the NY criminal dockets are sufficiently closed down that I can't find the defense's briefing papers on its motions. But given that some of the public orders do castigate that defense for trying to reraise the same "these charges are complete bullshit" too many times, that the defense helped prepare the jury instructions (which specifically include mention of the second crime), and the fact that the underlying second crime has been heavily reported on news media since the charges were first brought, I find it hard to believe that the first opportunity the defense could have known about the second crime was in closing arguments.

Also, I don't see in the transcript of the closing arguments any objections defense raised to the second crime only being brought up then, so even if it were true, it can't be raised in appeal.
I would like to have something like this for "text on stripped paper". Anyone know if there is a library for that ?

It's worth remembering that RISC-V International was founded in the USA and subsequently moved to Switzerland citing "concerns over U.S. trade regulations"[1].

It's only fair to call out that #[non_exhaustive] only helps you for the very specific case of adding new enum variants or struct fields. It does nothing for the burden of keeping all existing variants and fields compatible with any way they could have been matched.

However it's also only fair to note that the Rust ecosystem does not consider every [potential] breaking change a major one. https://predr.ag/blog/some-rust-breaking-changes-do-not-requ...

I think Nuveau on both or whatever came out of the box during install. Tried to install the Nvidia propetary but couldn't due to some MoK signing issues.

Anyway, the out of the box experience is shit on this front. Screen tearing shouldn't be a thing anymore. It's not like those GPUs were some exotic prototype HW nobody else has to need hours of reding forums and tinkering with .conf files to get rid fo screen tearing.
I can’t think of a single time where my backend was literally just a crud api over entities. These toys fall apart beyond a hello world app.

I guess the takeaway is you can’t give equity to employees and also expect them to operate in a way that reflects the charter of a non-for-profit governing board.
From my perspective, the web analogy fails immediately. I might trust somebody on one topic, but eyeroll at them on another. And that trust is also subject to change, and often does. Sometimes it's because the person changes, and sometimes because I change. So, for me at least, it's one node with a zillion flickering 1-depth connections.

And I think most people are also of a similar mindset, even if they might not necessarily realize it. It's how you get things like a democracy where everybody ostensibly votes for the candidate they want to win, and then we get a congressional approval rating that's trending to the single digits. [1] That's only possible because are extremely dissatisfied even when their guy and his party are both in control, otherwise it'd at least hover around 50%.

Why does HF store "secrets"?

Couldn't they just store a public key, the user has the secret key and signs their requests with that?
No brother, I'm not, but I'm starting to feel that what I am saying might be beyond the likelihood of comprehension. Look, I'm a big fan of NAT. Huge. It's not a security control. Neither is v6. It sure is cool though.
The answer is more often “yes” when referring to academic studies, as your Wikipedia source calls out via a reference to https://gwern.net/doc/statistics/2016-cook.pdf

> A 2016 study of a sample of academic journals (not news publications) that set out to test Betteridge's law and Hinchliffe's rule (see below) found that few titles were posed as questions and of those, few were yes/no questions and they were more often answered "yes" in the body of the article rather than "no".

Thankfully the underlying study doesn’t pose a question, and the article we are discussing here is an academic hypothesis more than news.

All I know is I feel amazing eating lots of leaner red meat. The nutrient content is very high (B-vitamins, zinc, etc.) and hard to get elsewhere. I probably eat 5 lbs of red meat per week. Im in my 50s, fit, and have healthy bloodwork.
I see both sides of this, but I think I would side with the original comment. It's not just blind outrage or something like that. The point is that there ought to be impact on Ticketmaster business. The messed up and there should be a cost to the company. They should be paying big fines or compensating their users. It should be entirely possible for a company to go bankrupt in such a situation which would incentivise better internal practices.

They aren't wrong, consequences for them are likely light. There's simultaneously a huge breach with Snowflake, which is high impact as many companies would have their customer data in a platform like that. And past breaches like Equifax that exposed almost everyone.

They are mostly just acknowledging that the general public has "breach fatigue". Nobody cares anymore. It's just another 12 months of free monitoring on top of the others you already have. So now you just freeze your credit until you need a loan, unfreeze it, put it back.
Page bloat is one reason, tracking/privacy-invading JS is a pest, but for me at least, my main problem is that most JS is used to break how people want to use the web.

The web is a document-centric medium. I load a URL, I want to look at the document presented at that page.

Things I likely don't want to do is deal with banners, pop-overs or other code grabbing my attention (if you don't show me a cookie banner you've done the right thing: not use cookies that aren't strictly necessary, thanks!). I probably don't want infinite scroll, "funky" animations or other stuff that tries to break the document medium.

I think the only exception is if I'm looking at a document that wants to use an interactive chart, that's fine. Form validation might be helpful, but do you really need anything other than built-in HTML client-side validation?

This approach ought to have been codified as part of an oath, with associated repercussions for the breaking of, but instead that which makes for popular sound bites from talking heads will carry the day.

What researchers chasing popular beliefs fail to realize is that once you chase popular opinion, your science and therefore you are suspect, not to mention the 'content' was never going to be as popular as the latest bowel movement of modern Ben-Hur.

Aesop's fable on the Bat, the Birds and the Beasts comes to mind regarding the fall out of this approach.
I run a forum (for many, many years) and a Discord (for a few years).

The Discord works perfectly and always has. It's completely free and easy to use.

The forum is expensive, complicated, and usually broken. or hacked. or full of spam. It's going to cost even more money to fix. Nobody wants to work on forums, much less me.

Good riddance.
It’s not expensive if you simply steal it.
This is potentially related to the Snowflake breach reported yesterday.

A thought stroke me. Security struggles with timing leaks.

That programming language would need something like a timing effect to control timing leaks.

In such a programming language a memoized function is effectful on time.

Can you share how the board is generated or it's part of the secret special sacuce? I think a blog post about the generation of the borard with a few nice graphics can get a lot of traction here.
The problem this data will have is it’ll just be two extreme points of view. Some people regret heavily, some heavily glad. Anyone in between probably not represented because they can’t be bothered to express an opinion.

I saw a sign recently that just read “success is very similar to failure” and I absolutely agree.

The difference in your life and happiness between getting what you want and not is often much smaller than you expect.
You are confusing right and practicality.

"Right to repair" is a gimmicky term for PR.

Obviously... but you are missing the point. I already explained what I meant by "no difference".

The text of the article uses "seemingly" and "it's possible" a lot, which makes me think this article just describes a YouTube video. No extra reporting is present. Is this typical, because it's weak.
For some cases, your local small claims court may be an efficient escalation path. If enough people do it, companies will learn that too much stonewalling doesn't actually save money, because now your customer support is done by the legal department.
It has more information on the front page about the distro than the debian website has about debian. I guess debian shouldn't be used either.

FYI: This only implements a subset of K (I'd estimate 1/3).

Calling it a 'release' is an overstatement. The docs state that it is a work in progress. It's also quite buggy (it's easy to get a segmentation fault). The version I saw in January was about 1/3 the size of this version, and also buggy. I hope that the final version of this code is less buggy and more usable.

If you want to learn the K language, don't use this version. Any of the other open source K projects are better than this (more complete, less buggy, better documented). This project is good if you want to learn more about the Arthur Whitney C coding style, because it is so small. Other projects written in this style (some open source K implementations, the J language) are huge by comparison.

testing is absolutely not a rolling release. Sure it gets new packages faster than stable which can appear to be the same as a rolling release it gets frozen before a stable release and suddenly it's not a rolling release.
I am building https://github.com/claceio/clace. It allows you to install multiple apps. Instead of messing with routing rules, each app gets a dedicated path (can be a domain). That way you cannot break one app while working on another.

Clace manages the containers (using either Docker or Podman), with a blue-green (staged) deployment model. Within the container, you can use any language/framework.
Social credit isn’t inherently flawed, everyone naturally develops a working model in their brain where we judge other people based off of a variety of factors. It’s just hugely scary when a government is the one operating a social credit system.

If there were some theoretical framework that would assist users in judging strangers on the internet, according to their own personal settings, that could be effective.

For example, one thing you see on Reddit is when somebody starts posting disagreeable comments in a community, a concerned member might look at the offending user’s entire post history and discover“oh, the only thing this guy does is make pro-[topic] statements”. The member then shares this information with the rest of the community, hoping to discredit all statements by the offender.

I almost think there could be a personal LLM that does this for you, and preemptively“tags” trolls and spreaders of misinformation in a way that allows you to automatically filter or dismiss their comments.
I don't write blog posts not because there is some bureaucracy stopping me (although I am sure there is bureaucracy), but because it's a poor use of my time. I have never in my career had a point where I felt I could sacrifice 1-2 workdays on a polished technical blog post. Even if all of one's planned tasks are on track (they are never on track - by design of the process, one inevitably takes on more tasks than time exists), there is always a years-deep backlog of papercut bugfixes, tech debt cleanups, and minor-ish feature requests, not to mention colleagues wanting some advice, rubber-duck design conversation, or in depth code reviews - doing any of which would be both more useful and more personally satisfying than writing a post.

I suspect people mainly write blogs only when required - either they are forced to promote themselves by their circumstances (they are between jobs or they are an independent consultant) or their boss asks them to (a tech blog makes for good PR for our project).

Square cube law means smaller satellites care less about g-forces. People shot vacuum tubes out of artillery shells as part of proximity fuses and they would survive just fine.

A cellphone experiences higher peak acceleration when hitting a floor when falling off a table but they are generally fine. So yes some sats would need modifications, but not necessarily significant ones and you can trivially test those conditions prior to launch. A Starlink competitor would happily design for such if it reduced their launch costs by 90%.
