X does have an optional government ID verification once you subscribe to premium, which adds an additional 'verified' indication and is necessary for additional features like revenue sharing and enabling subscriptions.

Admittedly, I'm not too sure how it works, I only subscribed to premium yesterday, it seems like they review something manually since I haven't received a checkmark yet, or maybe it does require the ID verification step, which I don't intend to do for now since all I wanted is editing and higher message length.

I don't know that that's the analogy you'd want to use. It is correct that an F1 driver's competitive advantage is how fast they can get to 300 kmph (or just accelerate in general, since there's skill/strategy involved as to when/where to accelerate). If we're following that reasoning... the engine is that competitive advantage, and we know that to be a significant factor because there are millions of dollars of engineering effort to optimize the cars they race. The reaction time of how fast you can push the pedal is an incredibly small part of that equation.

If you're on a bike, that competitive edge "engine" is the cyclist own physiology. Yes, how fast you can navigate the roads is part of it, but is it not the acceleration/max speed out of the hairpin turn that represents the lion's share of overall time? Rather than the fractions of seconds gained/lost in the timing of accelerations at the turn? I guess it depends on the length/ frequency of turns in the course.

Just out of curiosity, would you be defending the skill required to do cross country as vigorously as you are for cycling?
IMHO the best way to think of it (well, it's how I have long thought of it) is two lemmas:

1 - The compiler has more "fingers" than a human does. Back when I wrote programs in assembly I would use printout to keep track of what I was doing and for debugging, and so would often put a finger on the paper to mark where a jump was and then go to the destination to see if it matched up, etc. This process isn't at all scalable, so the compiler is inevitably going to do better than I ever could on anything more than something trivial.

2 - I know more about the program constraints than I could ever express (much less be bothered expressing) in a HLL. "All the values will be less than 16" or "I can use this memory location for something else after I've read from it" or who knows what. So sometimes I can chop stuff out or even rewrite the compiler output locally to speed it up.

Also I can only do this for a few architectures...and with modern x86 there are so many variants with all sorts of microoptimization affordances that I can rarely beat the compiler (this is a corollary of lemma 1)
In most cases it's not even censorship -- it's just some combination of an attempt to squeeze these non-EU companies for as much as they can get and good old fashioned virtue signaling about protecting consumers from things that most people couldn't care less about.

A recent article filled with examples: https://stratechery.com/2024/the-e-u-goes-too-far/

It's worth noting that this article was flagged off the front page of HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40907899
It's caution using words "rumor" and "lie" as if a viewpoint espoused by some documentary is fact. What I noted above did in fact happen. Someone can decide for themself if that is abusive. I did not use that word. My take on Kubrick is he did what he felt was necessary to achieve his vision and little more. It didn't come from malice or poor character. He wasn't an Aronofsky.

The life of an actor on a challenging shoot can definitely have an impact on their physical and mental health and Kubrick was notably one of the most demanding and meticulous directors. It's just a thing, similar to Elon Musk in business. The results are wildly successful and most involved were likely aware of what they were signing up for, the sacrifices that had to be made to work with one of the most revered in the business and to create high and lasting art. Unfortunately for Shelley I don't believe she had the mental constitution for it.

Also keep in mind that people in the public eye are going to want to craft a narrative when it comes to their own legacy. At the end of the day most would want to be remembered more for their accomplishments than the difficulties that went into achieving them, esp. when it comes to their most culturally significant work.
West throughout last 200 years or so has been better than rest of the world and yet deeply unhappy about it self. So my claim is not that it is Utopia but it is vastly better than rest of the world and continues to get better with the gap widening.

At this point, other than China, non western countries have nothing meaningful to offer to the world other than natural resources and basic labor. Even the best parts of the other parts such as Yoga, Vedanta of India is better in west in the land where it originated.
Well, the term "tensor core" is only used by Nvidia, and Nvidia does make Arm SoCs (Tegra), which may help you find the answer.
>The fact that cryptoscams and other such people are using blue-checkmarks to trick others today on Twitter is proof of the dark pattern

That already has happened way before Musk took over. Nothing changed. At least now people are more wary that blue checkmark doesn't mean "I can trust this user".
It's less a plateau and more scaling boundaries. Mobile chips especially are limited in power and die space so if you want to produce a high-resolution image at acceptable frame rates, either quality-per-pixel or pixel count have to drop compared to stuff that's plugged into the wall. Each generation of chip on desktop or mobile is still much faster than the previous, but that's battling with increased quality-per-pixel and higher screen resolutions/refresh rates.

DLSS/XeSS allow dropping the pixel count and then reconstructing a satisfactory image, which means you can either cut power draw for near-equivalent quality, or use the newly available headroom to improve quality-per-pixel further or deliver higher framerates.

One dirty secret when it comes to mobile phones and tablets is that games were already rendering below native resolution - Apple basically told developers to do this in the early Retina era, since it wasn't feasible to render at native with good framerates - since it saves power and the screens are so high-res that most users won't be able to tell the difference.

I can't remember the last time I launched a game on my phone and it was actually rendering at native resolution. So in that context, techniques like FSR or this new upscaler are just replacing the existing bilinear/bicubic upscale filter.
I actually find it pretty odd that it isn't normal for religious people to be happy when a loved one dies. They are in a place of infinite happiness, that's awesome.

Actually, that's a pretty good counterexample, and I guess it's fair to list a few other nutritional diseases as well (rickets, beriberi, pellagra) that have straightforward causes, and treatments with minimal side effects.
I dropped a higher paying job for this current one because it offered substantially fewer restrictions and much greater personal time. Salary alone and/or flaky equity that could easily evaporate are not enough to move the needle for me. I won't even go back to JavaScript work for more money, much less be locked in some dungeon and ignored like a serf.

I really hope there is valid equity in exchange for those extra work hours. By valid equity the terms are more important than the percentage level. If the equity were right AND I had a title that provided some degree of autonomy/ownership of the work I could see myself working 60-80 hours per week. Otherwise max of 40 is all they get and I will not budge.

Indeed. Apparently the name has been changed now to "Premium", but originally it was "Twitter Blue". The blue checkmark was the selling point.

> Almost every platform with optional subscriptions does that - LinkedIn, Reddit, etc.

TIL there's a Reddit Premium symbol in user profiles. However, the Reddit Premium symbol is not displayed in posts and comments, which makes it very different from Twitter's system.

I don't. That would be entirely your choice.

It seems from the article that AT&T uploaded data to a cloud service, protected by username and password, and someone obtained credentials or breached the cloud service.

What does that have to do with 'underlay networks' and wow is that "the root cause of 99% of breaches"?
I was growing frustrated at surferseo giving me wrong numbers. When checking the websites manually, their "NLP" keywords seem made up most of the time.

So I coded my own API that would just tell me which keywords to include based on the majority of the top 10 results. I know this optimization isn't perfect but it gets the job done when doing hundreds of articles per site.

Over time I added more tools that would help out with various seo-y tasks and made a front end for it.

We did this in the Gravity Kubernetes Distribution (which development is shut down), but we had to for the use case. Since the distribution was used to take kubernetes applications behind the firewall with no internet access we needed the registry... and it was dead simple just running the docker-distribution registry on some of the nodes.

In theory it wouldn't be hard to just take docker-distribution and run it as a pod in the cluster with an attached volume if you wanted a registry in the cluster. So it's probably somewhere between trivial and takes a bit of effort if you're really motivated to have something in cluster.
That sounds very interesting, can you provide any more details?

Thats an obsessive level of detail for that era. Later Rembrandt's school were focusing more on the play of shadows on given subject and its surroundings, but most of the details were not to this level, at least not those I've seen up close (but still some parts were pretty crazy, ie embroidered collar or vein structure of wrinkled skin of an old woman).
I agree with you.

The problem with China is that its internal processes are aligned to be self destructive. I am from India and I understand Indian politicians and ruling class which has deep fetish for Russia and CCP. But Indian public likes American phones and youtube. So despite all the political moves, India remains mostly west aligned.

CCP is immune from such things. It does not have to give much damn about its people or even national interests as long as it can stay in power. Stephen Kotkin on Hoover institution explains this better than I would.
Good advice whenever possible. I wish any of the companies I did business with would use Signal but they all use SMS only (like my doctors, my plumbers, the electric company, restaurants, etc etc)
Apple would have died.

I love BeOS.

I love BeOS more than you.

I love BeOS more than Jean-Louis Gassée.

BeOS wasn't ready. I was there I used BeOS as my daily driver on a maxxed-out Power Macintosh 6400. I have, today, that machine still running BeOS. I also have a second dual-PII running BeOS.

BeOS wasn't ready.

Apple was making a decision in 1996 for a deal that had to be struck and struck fast (1997). I started using BeOS in 1997 with one of the first Power Macintosh releases.

Those days (my days) it wasn't ready-- you had to pile patch on top of patch on top of community fix on top of some set of drivers some dude in Boise made in order to get things functional. I spent more time browsing BeOS listservs and download sites fixing things (at 56k) than using it.

Everyone is remembering fondly the R4.5/R5 days in late 1999. Three years after the December 1996 announcement of the NeXT acquisition. By then BeOS was... better. It was running on PCs and had a much larger user community. In 1996/7? Just a handful of BeBox owners and Mac users dumb enough (me) to try it.

Management would have been professionally negligent to choose it over NeXTStep.

In 1996, when Apple was up against the wall, NeXTStep was almost ten years old. All they had to do was buy the company, port it to PPC, and change some copyright messages and icons around. Took about two years.

BeOS would have required way more time, money, and expertise.

BeOS had no multi-user, no security (at all), an "aspirational" level of posix compliance, drivers that were a disaster, a network stack specifically designed to frustrate you, and no "companies that actually matter and no Gobe doesn't count" application support.

I get it. It was pretty. It was fast. French electro DJs loved it because it was low latency, and some audio tools were ported to it.

A userbase of French electro DJs doesn't pay the bills.

"It remains unclear why so many major corporations persist in the belief that it is somehow acceptable to store so much sensitive customer data with so few security protections."

It's because there are almost no consequences to them if they lose the customer data, beyond a day or two of bad press. If they faced significant fines, fines that get worse the more sensitive the data is, then they'd have an incentive to do better.
This is just blatant self-promotion. I'm not a fan of Google either, but running my last 5 searches through Exa I'm not even getting DuckDuckGo-quality responses. And you're advertising yourself in the corner, patting your own back in blogposts, ushering me towards a pricing page and telling me scary stories before I go.

Sidestepping your ad hominem,

1) I didn't say the EU had the operation, though there is extensive cooperation, especially as related to NGOs and the IC. I believe this all started with the Integrity Initiative which was based in England.

2) The NGOs had access directly to Twitter administration. They even had a Jira instance through which they handed down directives. Elon's purchase cut off that backchannel.

3) X may very well have "breached" the DSA. Considering one of the offenses is that they denied "researchers" the access I described above, it would seem the DSA is not exactly being weilded in good faith.

4) See above. And to be clear, by "soviet" I mean authoritarian bureaucracy. Small "s"

Accept what you like, but we both know this is real and well documented.
wonderful. keep at it, Meta. they've given me so much hope this past year. they're heading off a future where an oligopoly of massive tech companies gets AGI first, engages in regulatory capture and locks the doors behind them on the most important technology in a century. that was absolutely OpenAI's stated goal, even. LeCunn is truly doing the Lord's work dumping model weights.
This is really nice. I'll take a much closer look when I get time later. I'm very interested in how you think about incremental computation - I find cache invalidation to be incredibly annoying and time-consuming when running experiments.

We wrote our own version of this (I think many or all quant firms do, I know such a thing existed at $prev_job) but we use type annotation inspection to make things efficient (I had ~1-2 days to write it, so had to keep the design simple as well). It's a contract: if you write the type annotation, we can store it. Socially this incentivizes all the complex code to becoming typed. We generally work with timeseries data, which makes some things easier and some things harder, and the output format is largely storable in parquet format (we handle objects, but inefficiently).

One interesting subproblem that is relevant to us is the idea of "computable now", which adds a kind of third variant from the usual None/Some (i.e. is something intrinsically missing, or is it just not knowable yet?). For example, if you call total_airline_flights(20240901), that should (a) return something like an NA, and (b) not cache that value, since we will presumably be able to compute it on 20240902. But if total_airline_flights(20240101) returns NA, we might want to cache that, so we don't pay the cost again.

We sidestep this problem in our own implementation (time constraints) but I think the version at $prevjob had a better solution to this to avoid wasting compute.

China does not need to attack India or Taiwan right now to prove that its a superpower because it already is. It is consulted on all major issues and the world engaged with them with respect because they have earned it. China hopes that it will be more powerful in future and hence they are measured in their approach.

Russia is lost. There is nothing else Putin could do to make Russia more relevant on world stage. Russia is staring at slow decline of its human capital which will settle in west. Its former colonies like Ukraine or Poland would love to be part of EU/NATO etc.

This is why Putin needs a war to appear great. At its core it is about western world's victory on the world state.

After war he will assassinate your innovators and business leaders.

An attacker who gets username/pw still can't get on the overlay network (the overlay requires credentials which can't easily be stolen or compromised, e.g. a private key signed X.509 certificate).

Yes, because 99% of attacks use the underlay network to access the target and exfiltrate the data. Said the other way, an attacker didn't physically walk into a Snowflake data center, console into the right server, and walk out with all the data.

Instead of using unsafe Rust to optimize the interpreter loop, I would prefer to write a transpiler that compiles the source UXN binaries to local CPU binaries, which would not require making code unsafe/less readable and would permit further speed enhancements by getting rid of an interpreter loop altogether.
