> You can only catch a "fake" if it's situational and your behavior completely changes

I can't word this without being insulting, you can catch many "fake" behaviors, especially when it requires the social intelligence of a normal, young kid. I don't mean to directly insult or insinuate things about OP, but I don't know how else to contextualize that this is not some advanced social strategy or set of maneuvers that slip by people.

It's assuredly very, very obvious if not awkward for other people to deal with.

>Social relations and human behavior is transactional regardless if you're aware of it or not.

Most people would use the word reciprocal. Which has all the same presumptuous benefits of being transactional, but it means a lot more. It implies longer term, more involved commitments that generally, equally benefit both parties in a holistic manner.

Saying social relations are transactional is not profound, it's actually reveals a certain ignorance about how you view literally everyone else on this planet.
The math in his presentation seems to work out if you interpret it as milliseconds (e.g., the day is getting shorter by an average of 2.2 milliseconds every century).

I'm not sure why that particular abbreviation. I tried searching Google to find people using "mts" to refer to milliseconds, and it seems like it could be "millisecond timestamp" or "metric time series"??
Yep, those were the days. I still have the Thunderbird CPU that I overclocked using the pencil method sitting on my desk because it was such an awesome CPU.

Tangible progress every year that made it worth upgrading your parts and tech news were actually exciting back then (I still remember upgrading from my 386 with 33MHz to a 486 DX4 with 100MHz). Now the tech media is making a big deal about 10% improvements. :/
You could then fix the inverted x axis by using the mouse on the underside of the table. Works fine with optical mice, but a ball mouse might require fiddling with gravity (or magnets, but that's no fun).
Off course China has been a global superpower for at least 4~5 years now, doesn't mean the US isn't a global super power anymore. The US is still the biggest super power in culture and science. But its not relative big enough anymore in military compared to say Russia and China's size that it can dictate the world what will and what wont happen.
> Surely any script involving the hijacking of `[`

It's not about hijacking of any binary, it's about mutation of state, and having to keep the same parsing state across multiple binaries, which is very bad practice (apart from USR1/2 and stdout/stdin not even remotely being made for that).

Keep in mind that the architecture we are speaking about was implemented when an OS had less than 20 binaries overall.

Now we have thousands of binaries with absurd levels of complexity, and nobody really knows what's going on anymore.
Brick Top:
You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together.

Sol:
Would someone mind telling me, who are you?

Brick Top:
And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to cows. You got to starve the cows for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of Bessie's digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through cow sh*t, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen views to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a cow farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single cow can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a bull".
Personally, I enjoy the fact that it's generating songs about topics I'd find it funny to have a song about. My dog playing with their friends, a song about a funny situation that happened. So it's mostly the part about hearing something that's personal to me being put into a song. I'll listen to it a few times, send it around and be done with it. It'll never go into my daily-listening queue, will not replace the emotional connection I have with songs that helped me through bad times. It's just a fun tool to make something "personal" that I'd never ever would hire an artist for anyways.

They’ve (the Americans) have been losing it for 7 or 8 years or so, if news about the Houthis being able to have hit USS Eisenhower turns out to be true (which would be a first hit on an US carrier since 1945) then things would be even more obvious to the general population.
Nearly all modern forms of rocketry trace their roots to German technologies like the V-2, and rockets used for space exploration in particular are direct or spiritual descendents of intercontinental ballistic missiles repurposed for civilian use.

There really is no difference to the rockets themselves, they are all varying forms of pointy metal pipes filled with boom powder. The only difference is the payload they carry; whether they are humans or spaceborne vessels like satellites, or explosives of various descriptions with which to destroy and kill.

If you disagree, and you've certainly made it clear you do, you can put forth counterarguments instead of claiming quackery.
My theory is that the intellectual (or knowledge worker) periodically wakes up feeling immense guilt about his life of extraordinary physical comfort.
He conjures up deprivations to introduce artificial discomfort for a brief period of time and then reverts to his life of extraordinary physical comfort.
The difference is that when you have a steady stream of political information you're more likely to pick up lies and misdirections. Politicians are pretty good at glossing over mistakes, especially if they happen over topics that aren't salacious. If you hadn't paid any attention to politics over the past 15 years and only looked at it now you wouldn't know about things like the Snowden leaks.

I would love to quote a compiler comparison, but I don't know a good and accepted compiler benchmark. What would you use as a compiler benchmark? (Preferably Go, but I assume Rust would be better, as it is much slower, so the differences are bigger)

One could argue they are already there, putting an unblur button on streams is basically the same as an "I'm over 18" button on adult sites. No verification, no auditing, the button does nothing but make it look like they care.

AVX512 was never over 2 cycles. In Zen4 it used the 256 wide execution units of avx2 (except for shuffle), but there are more then one 256-bit wide execution units, so you still got your one cycle throughput.

I don't see the point in one-on-ones with someone who produces less for the organization than I do.

I also don't see the point of managers for that matter.

I will work to eliminate all managers from my organization until it's just me, the clients, and the revenues going in my pocket. That's fair and square business.

Managers are excess to any requirement other than someone rich pocketing the revenue who did not do the work.
That's totally not a protection racket.
On Geekbench, though they are segregated in separate pages so I'm not sure if the comparison is fully correct, the M2Ultra is behind the top 3 PC processors (2 Intel and 1 AMD) for multi-core, and it is indeed the best at single core.
Keep in mind also that this Dear Moon sign-up happened in 2018, which is before the whole OceanGate Titanic Submersible catastrophe of last year. I'm sure it has played on the minds of him, his co-passengers (who he signed up for), and their friends and family.
This is a great story. Similarly I've learned that any amount of planning is better than no planning. Simply drawing a few mock-ups of what you're going to build will make things go a lot better. It's cheaper to fix mistakes at the design phase than the implementation or production phases.

"Even my multithread Go apps seem to run better on Apple Silicon."

As a Go developer, I'd love to hear your story: How much faster does your Apple Silicon compile compare to a Zen4 (e.g. the 7950x?)? For example 100k lines of Go code.

I might switch back to Apple again (used Apple for 20+ years), if it's faster at compilation speed.

I switched from konsole to foot, when I upgraded to plasma6 (and therefore to wayland). One of the main reasons was actually startup time.
I compared several terminals (konsole, alacritty, kitty, wezterm, foot) and foot had a notably faster startup time than the rest.
For me it starts fast enough without a client/server setup, whereas konsole often slightly annoyed me, when I just wanted to execute a single command.

Might be better to think of the LLM as the student, and you're an imposter tutor. You're trying to assess the kid's knowledge without knowing the material yourself, but the kid is likely to lie when he doesn't know something to try to impress you, hoping that you don't know your stuff either. So you just have to keep probing him with more questions to suss out if he's at least consistent.
> Python OOP != Rust OOP, but you naturally already knew that.

No. Bold of you to assume that. I wasn't aware that one OOP isn't another OOP.
I see, so OOP is a fuzzyish definition that you check more checkboxes to satisfy.

If Rust is OOP, and Python is OOP and C is OOP, then the that circles back to my initial claims. A category that is so wide it's effectively useless.

Compare this to sync and async. A precise definition, much greater informational content. You can prove something is pure or not[1]. Compare this to OOP, imprecise, less informational context, impossible to (dis)prove something is OOP or not.

Off-centre of your monitor, but not necessarily off-centre as far as the game is concerned: it would be trivial to shift everything one (or half?) a pixel to the upper left. Ie so that your shooting direction perfectly aligns with the crosshair. You could do that for any crosshair position.

Even cross-hairs that are off-screen.

I'm willing to bet that 60% of OF creators, after accounting for the required equipment, are not making money. I'd also bet that at least 20% of those making money are from a country where $150 a month is a whole salary.

And then there's the question of how many of them are being trafficked.

Syntax Error – Angry? Tech Shirts
Recently I saw some comments on Twitter and Stack Overflow commenting how a "X" language was terrible, and then a bunch of comments arguing back and forth.

Was a little tiring reading i. I thought... after being a dev for 20 years, we are still!! arguing over this. Felt like as I aged the goal become a focus on writing good code and I've accepted that all languages have some degree of suck. (TBH The suck resides with the coder most often)

Thought I'd make some shirts for wearing at local meetups to proclaim "X" sucks, write good code.

It was a semi-hit, so I opened this store to my tech peers to join me.. if you dare wear one of these in public. :)
I have to disagree. They work great for video playback and office work. So media server, and workstations are fine without a dedicated gpu
> To draw an analogy, it would be like building an EMR that doesn’t have the ability to output patient records in a manner that another EMR could ingest. In his industry this sort of portability of end user data for his employer’s customers is both customary and expected.

That's not necessarily contradicting the design to me. I don't know AWS but I assume you still can move data between tenants, only through some export/import system. And there may be a good a reason for it. Like you need an import/export system anyway because your tenants need it for data exchange with "tenants" that are not your customers. So you can still have both. Another reason may be a need for auditing the data movements between those tenants.

I was surprised to not see it on the Guardian's front page. It's prominent on the World News sub-page though.
I had a colleague who was old school and loved optimising, everything he reviewed come back with tiny changes that would save fractions of a ms. His nemesis was a guy who was arguably the best coder I have ever worked with. Things come to a head in one meeting and old school said if we did things his way our code would run quicker and the response was legendary 'If we coded like you it'd run quicker because most of the functionality would be still in the backlog.' I still think about that when it comes to optimisation.
> Wealthy people pay a lower tax rate than non-wealthy people do. That means the tax system is a net transfer of wealth from the less wealthy to the more wealthy. Try again.

Youre also ignoring the fact that even with a lower rate (which you haven’t proven), they may still pay more overall which benefits society.

So you’re prefer if your fellow citizen was left unemployed, rather than you being outbid on an apartment? It sounds like you’d prefer to keep poor people down rather than have to spend more time finding housing. Isn’t that selfish?

> a lot of terrible misfeatures are kept in the name of compatibility, e.g. "int x = x;" ("fixing that will break too many existing exploits")

What does this code do? Is this referring to a previously defined x, now shadowed by a new x? Like this

int x = 1;
int x = x;

If yes, Rust has this feature too. And in Rust, shadowing variables is very idiomatic and is sometimes used to create safe abstractions.
Yeah, and surprisingly we're seeing many people defending Nazis' free speech but never Isis' or Al Qaeda's one…

As if they only realized it would in fact be detrimental to society because they belong to the target group of these terrorists, when they don't feel threatened by Nazis because they don't belong to a targeted minority.
That sounds nice, but I don't agree that it is the most-likely point. Anyway, I would argue the point of failure is lack of expert level guidance/mentorship and (sometimes) monetary resources to pursue higher education. Once you've received formal training, you also need someone to bounce ideas off-off, or a community for collaboration etc, etc.
It's the cost of living, having children, and the inconvenience of having them in the cities that drives the birth rates down. As populations move to the cities they find themselves with a high stack of bills so they stop having children. Money is a resource too.

Again, you're just shoe-horning in your preconceived ideas about how errors should be handled into a different language.

The philosophy of Java and C# especially* is that software should be resilient to errors in production. It doesn't matter if one function for one request with some obscure parameter failed because of a network failure or because of a bug that led to an NPE when that parameter was encountered. What matters is that all other requests that don't have that bug should continue running and not impact users unnecessarily.

So, at some points in my code, I need to handle any possible exception, and decide how to continue from that point. I also need to properly clean up resources and so on regardless of whether I encountered a bug in a subcomponent or an external failure.

Now sure, I probably don't want to be writing "catch (NullPointerException) { ... }", while I may occasionally want "catch (IOException e) {....}" . So there is some difference, but that is where the type system comes in (and the oh-so-hated checked exceptions feature).

* C++'s philosophy is the worse here, of course: programs that have bugs are not valid C++ so they don't even discuss them. Rust's "any bug should crash your program as soon as possible", while still very strange to me, is of course much better.

Geekbench has a seperate page for each "instruction set".

For Apple you need to go to https://browser.geekbench.com/mac-benchmarks

Then compare numbers by hand I assume.

Though what I would love is compile-time vs. $ (as mentioned, I'm a software developer). The 7950x is $500 and a very fast SSD is $400, fast 64gb is $200, very good board is $400 so I get a very fast dev machine for ~$1700.
Not all drugs are the same. MDMA was used in couples therapy in the 1970 not because of its lasting brain changes, but because when you're being flooded by egregious amounts of serotonin and oxytocin it's easier to be more open, loving and understanding toward your loved ones. In social settings, it's hard not to fall in love with any random stranger. In therapy, you might fall in love with your partner once again, if just for a few hours.

Everyone that has taken MDMA once could attest to that.

The long term effects of methylenedioxymethamphetamine are, like its composition suggests, mostly bad unless used with moderation ("no more than once a season", suggested Ann Shulgin)

MDMA is very different from ketamine or psilocybin that have lasting mood lifting effects. Low-grade, short-term depression is usually the result of a good MDMA session if not properly managed.

“It’s a guy browsing the internet a bit” can be game over from a security perspective. Some machines should never execute code from public web pages, full stop.

So it is a philosophical question of why the restrictions were in place in this scenario. If it was “employee productivity”, then sure, who cares. If it was an IRS computer with thousands of people’s tax returns on disk and access to millions more, then reporting was the right move.
