This is a remarkable fraudster/whistleblower pair:

> Their influential paper in BMC Medicine, and subsequent work based on Newmaster’s approach, found that many supplements lacked ingredients listed on their labels and that toxic contaminants tainted others. Some stores pulled products from their shelves, and several major supplement companies embraced Newmaster’s work, paying large sums for quality testing by companies Newmaster established just prior to the publication of the paper.

Damn, this guy didn't just defraud for the citations or clout or speaking or even consulting fees; he used it to kickstart his own business empire.

> Thompson, now a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University, sparked the initial inquiry. As an undergraduate, he and Newmaster co-authored a 2014 paper on forest plant diversity, published in Biodiversity and Conservation. Years later, while completing his Ph.D. at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Thompson began to suspect that Newmaster had repurposed data from a different study by another student. He asked that the paper be retracted, and the journal did so in 2021.

And the guy who exposed him wasn't a spectator or a spurned rival, but an untenured academic who opted to torch one of his own early and well-cited papers on principle.
+1 to copyq. It has a lot of funcionality, you can exclude apps to save clip on log (passwords managers), yo can do personal snippets, images, even create your own scripts.... It has a bit deeper than anything else I tried and yet simply enough to run as is....

Truth be told, I feel like we're hitting some diminishing returns on information automation. Most the low hanging fruit is probably done now.

With ageing demographics and increased education around the world, I think the next major productivity gains will be in robotics - replacing all the manual labour and care giving that needs doing in one way or another.

LLMs may be a stepping stone in that journey but hardware cycles don't move like software and hardware adoption is slow and painful. This is part of the reason why VC doesn't like hardware but loves software
> If you have semiconductor fabs but not agriculture to feed your people you will be in a world of hurt.

The US certainly has that capability - should food supply ever become critical, slaughter cattle, pigs and sheep and redirect the grains used to feed them to the population. The amount of grains would feed 800 million people [1].

Nobody is entitled to ad-free YouTube. But I wonder how this will end up affecting the bottom line of creators. The more forced ads I see, the less I'll use YouTube, so the less creators will make (even if Google makes the same as I wasn't watching the Ads anyway).

I don't see a world where people who use ad blockers will suddenly feel fine with a ton of ads instead of picking another activity.

Apple, Google, etc are in the middle of this Trojan horse dynamic. They want the notifications to be.. literally anything that gets your attention.

You, presumably, want them to be actionable. This 'crack down' stuff that isn't complete control and proper categorization... is performative service, little more.

SpaceX was founded in 2002.

Musk & Griffin had a relationship around establishing a Mars colony even before SpaceX foundation. Musk even tried to recruit Griffin when assembling SpaceX founding team.

By 2005, SpaceX was already leasing a launch pad for Falcon 1 and Falcon 5.

"Most people bullshit at parties"

Many do, but not most. At least not at the parties I attend. And in my experience, it is a strong indicator. Some might manage, to vent out everything BS at parties, but for most their general attitude about appreciation for truth will show in a private setting just as it will show in a professional one. In the professional setting people just care more about hiding that BS.
You're here to hurt me aren't you telepathy. Not to tell the truth or nothing. But to hurt me because you don't like my ideology.

I'm going to f** you up. Logically I mean. In debate I mean. I don't think you have the balls to end this conversation with me. It will take more blood sweat and tears than you have in your body. And I will beat you effortlessly. Cuz I'm everything you think of when you think of a hateful human. A human that doesn't deserve to exist who continues to claw there body against the fabric of reality and exist. You hate me. And I will defeat you. Let's talk. Debate. Not afraid of you.

Yes and no - you can't have bi-variant argument types as shown here and be sound, but that does not mean you can't type those idioms. You just need the type system to be able to express a dependency between the name of the event handler and the type of the associated function. It is not exactly straightforward (this is a complex type system feature) though, I don't blame the TS devs for going for an escape hatch there.

(Edit: to be clear, allowing to refine function types in the way they do is part of the solution, the unsound part is that it is not checked afaik)
> what do you think normal people think?

They mostly don't.

The most common objections to AI that come from the dev community are: privacy; IP rights involved in training data (and how it fucks over individuals)

The general public almost exclusively judges the features that are handed to them in products based on their utility and not the above concerns, so they will always be less critical overall.

> I've debated this with a couple of investors and their stance is if you leave the company then you're not committed enough and shouldn't receive anything. I think that's quite debatable

I don't think that's debatable at all; I think it's bullshit. Once your options vest, they are yours. They are compensation for the work you have already done, not the work you will do in the future.

Once/if your company switches to RSU grants from option grants, then at vest day your stock is yours, and can't be taken away when you leave the company (well, I imagine they could write up a contract that says that, but that would be quite non-standard, and I would never work for a company that did something like that). The vested RSUs are, again, compensation for the work you have already done, not the work you will do in the future. I don't see why options and RSUs should be considered differently here.

(I might even stretch that into the idea that it's bullshit that startup options expire at all, even if you stay with the company forever, but I do think that's debatable.)

Accept what? Greediness?

Apple used to charge for MacOS. And then they made it free because hardware sales more than made up for any costs of the platform.

Apple themselves claim they don't care if AppStore is profitable. Schiller himself suggested they cap AppStore revenue at 1 billion.

If it's so costly for them to run why don't they let devs and users use the alternatives? Alternative payment methods, alternative app distribution etc.?

Edit.

Here's Apple financial report for 2023: https://s2.q4cdn.com/470004039/files/doc_earnings/2023/q4/fi...

- The entirety of their operational expenses is 54 billion

Harold Bloom often called Harry Potter generic "slop" upon release in the 2000s and /lit/ uses the insult the same way without any undertones. /tv/ is probably the biggest user of all the different insult 'slops since that medium is thoroughly middle of the road and they know the only fun to be had of late is in discussing how shit something is rather than consuming it.

It would be strange if the slop industry didn't try to take over the word since they exist to preempt all charges against their authority.
for context: just upgraded to pi 5 after owning the original for over 11 years and still in service!

i get that for most people reading this, rpi has been about a cheap computing platform to run containers at home. personally, i thought all that was a byproduct of a larger goal of making computing accessible.

however, past five years seems to me that the foundation is side-stepped for commercial ambitions. i think that rp2040 is an excellent platform and evolution of promoting tinkering. every other design decisions no longer seem aligned with the goal of accessibility. till this day, unless you live in cambridge or near a micro center, getting one is still down to trusting resellers.

before the design would go out of the way for compatibility (see composite video), and the only things that would stand out was stuff like hardware codec licensing. now, there are so many weird decisions, like micro-hdmi and needing a specific power supply and cooling to use the latest pi optimally (i had an issue with usb boot out of the box while using a standard 18w charger).

whether you put it all down to inflation, getting started from scratch with rpi might still be remotely in the ballpark of buying a toy if you go for several year old models. when i bought my first pi, i was too scared to try its gpio pins because of the fear of bricking it. now with the new one and the official case that hides them away, you can forget tinkering with that.

now it seems that rpi is now more aligned to our audience than tinkerers. now with the "AI kit", and other decisions, it is hard to believe that the foundation and its original goals are going to be a major focus going forward.
For a convenient definition of PII. Isn’t everything a user does in aggregate PII?
I remember trying to deploy it a couple years ago and it was fairly complicated. Granted, I was trying to deploy a multi-node mnesia cluster, which is probably what caused all my issues.

But for non-production single nodes I just created a Dockerfile and deployed it because the other options were too much hassle. Can't remember the details, but in my (in)experience, deploying was always the hard part with Elixir.

I will need to try it again, it's been a while and the ecosystem has improved dramatically in the meantime ... and it was already excellent before. Good stuff!

But that's if. And that's it. If you're not also on Marxist, arguing that AI companies need to be paying more than the market rate, and making the workers part of the company. Then I think you need to leave the conversation because I have won.

The answer people don't want to hear is that the answer is to abandon the web. The standards are too complicated and evolve too fast. It costs too much. The bills have to be paid and that means everyone has to sell the users out "just a little bit, but at least we are better than the other guy".

Announcing his “idea” to create a Texas university similar to MIT which he would call “TITS” and where “Ds [women’s bra size] would get degrees.” accompanied by an altered photo rendering a rocket to appear to be a giant penis;

Posting what appears to be an altered photograph ofa stained glass window depicting the Virgin Mary giving Jesus a hand-job, along with the comment, “il meme juice for the weekend:
One thing I never understood about government policy with renewable energy is that surely it is a country's best interest to be as much energy independent and energy diversified as possible. Both from national security, geopolitical and economic point of views. Not even considering the environmental impact.

For example, Brazil has a huge production of combustible-grade ethanol which, although subsidised by the government, helps stabilize fuel prices for everyone in the country. When oil prices go up, ethanol production goes up which smooths price fluctuation.

In raw numbers the subsidies probably costs more for the economy than just importing oil when considering the years of cheap oil. But if you take into account all the business that don't collapse and go bankrupt because of that the math doesn't look so clear-cut. That on top of economy diversification.

This is just the economic argument of one alternative energy source in one country. The national security, geopolitical and environmental impacts are even harder to quantify but are extremely important as well.

For example, every country probably benefits a lot from having the ability of deploying more nuclear power plants, so it might be worth building a limited number of them just to keep the industry alive (especially if the industry is local to your country). That is even if you, as a country, decides against nuclear long term.

The linux kernel team understandably does not want to maintain overcomplicated shims, keep multiple versions of the same subsystem and debug opaque problems so some can keep their precious binaries secret.

You keep the binaries, you get to maintain them and solve their problems. Seems fair.

There's a list of foods that are, I think, used to scare foreigners with for our amusement more than actually eaten. Of course some crazy Norwegians do actually like these, which gives us plausible deniability when said tourists and foreign co-workers question whether it's real. I'm sure you are fully aware, but for those unaware of Norwegian cuisine:

* Smalahove (whole, barbecued sheeps head; how whole depends on who/where, but the eyes and brain certainly need to be included)

* Lutefisk (fish half-dissolved in caustic soda, then washed out - or your intestines would have a really hard time - leaving what is best described as fish-yello)

* Gammelost, of course.

Then there are the less objectionable or outright nice things that we still serve to foreigners either knowing they're acquired tastes, or that we like spinning stories around to try to make it uncomfortable for our entertainment:

* Whale, presented as "Willy from Free Willy". Whale tastes fine - it's just a bit tough, and sometimes a bit oily and "fishy" (yes, I know, not fish; doesn't stop the blubber from affecting the taste)

* Deer and reindeer, which tastes great but squeamish people everywhere get more squeamish when the dish is introduced as "Bambi". When I worked for a US company in Norway many years ago, the US CEO came for our Christmas party and the CEO of the Norwegian subsidiary had of course ensured that the menu was moose, deer, and whale, so that our entertainment was to watch the CEO's reactions (he took it well).

* Sour cream porridge. I love sour cream porridge, but it is an... acquired taste, and people do not expect it if you put a bowl of porridge in front of them without warning...

* Salty licorice full of ammonium chloride. Yes, licorice with floor cleaner. I love it, but outside of the Nordic countries and the Netherlands, the only person I've made taste this who has liked it was a single co-worker about a quarter of a century ago. I keep bringing them to the UK at least twice a year and imposing them on unsuspecting people (in the UK, finding even lightly salted licorice is near impossible outside of specialty imports, so people here are caught entirely unaware of what salted licorice will taste like, and that is half the fun). For science, of course.

Norwegian humour when it comes to feeding people stuff they're not familiar with is pretty basic, along the line of "we're serving you a pet/beloved children character" or "we're serving you something likely to dissolve your intestines/an industrial byproduct that our children eat". Where my Nigerian in-laws worry about whether the food they're serving me is too spicy and fuss over it constantly, we try to trick people into trying weird things while we take pleasure in observing their reactions and/or try to stifle laughter.
