I didnt get jabbed and this is confirmation that I did not spread the flu to anyone.

We all knew it to be a lie.

People I knew, colleagues, neighbours, all jabbed, seemed to all get the flu and passed it among themselves.

yet, me and my close family and friends, all unjabbed, did not wear masks, and incredibly did not get the flu.

Isnt that amazing?
Thats is misleading.

Falcon uses apis like eBPF when available/usable , they are not stupid if they can use something which is more secure and reliable why should they not use it.

E.g. they use it on Linux, even through they could have created a custom kernel module (idk. if they maybe also have a custom kernel module tbh.).

And pushing for something doesn't mean banning other things. E.g. they could certify "following best security practices" and not give it to vendors not using the more modern APIs, while they can't block drivers based on it with the right marketing customers of CrowdStrike wouldn't want to buy it without such cert.

I.e. while MS doesn't provide viable ways to get the functionality Falcon and similar need without kernel modules it indeed would be a bit ridiculous for them to ban such software, and as of yet the do not.
Coddle developers.

In JavaScript land most employers set the baseline as low as they can. They would hire illiterate people so long as they see the right frameworks mentioned on a resume. They would rather hire/fire people while simultaneously complaining about the poor quality and poor productivity. The end result is supremely overpaid developers that are never capable of programming and struggle to deliver anything. Attempts to fix this generally mean passing the buck onto some senior developer without any voice in leadership or trajectory, a scapegoat.

If you want a strong team that delivers strong results do the opposite of everything I just mentioned. Management should own more than just hiring/firing people. If tech managers were directly liable for the shit their team delivers their level of involvement would be different.

At the same time expect and impose valid business considerations on product development and hold people liable for failures to deliver. This means actually measuring things and expecting software to not taking forever to do absolutely everything. It also means considering the operating expenses for having a billion dependencies in your code, the inability to refactor quickly, regression, and so on.

That said one of the worst things engineering leadership can do is promote developers to leadership positions without any degree of liability. It’s the blind leading the blind, and they are better off with some ignorant MBA that knows little about software.
Yeah what on earth do you mean when you say cops aren't interested in catching people who broke the law, but are interested in catching "someone". That makes no sense.

Where did I say anything about justifying power abuse?
I know you, bro. Take care.

Snellius is a nice resource. A powerful Slurm based HTC cluster with different cues for different workloads (cpu/genomics, gpu/deep learning).

To access the resource I had to go through EuroCC [0], which is a network facilitating access to and exploitation of HPC/HTC infra. It is (or can be) a great competing model to US cloud providers.

As a small business I got 8 hrs of consultancy and 10k compute hours for free. I’m still learning the details but my understanding is is that after that the prices are very competitive.

LSD is also a party drug. You may be referring instead to hard drugs, which are so called because they create physical dependence, psychological addiction, or brain damage (or all of the above).

LSD is technically legally considered a hard drug, because it has the potential to trigger schizophrenia and psychosis in individuals who are in any way predisposed to such; it also is legally classified as a hallucinogen, and all of which are classified as hard drugs, legally speaking.

However, non-legally speaking, I don't consider it a hard drug because it doesn't cause dependence, addiction, or brain damage that is detectable; despite the relative lack of professional research into the substance, there is at least decent evidence that it is not literally neurotoxic. With that said, the potential psychological effects are not to be underestimated, and the experience of a bad trip can cause significant damage purely through the emotional trauma of it.

Practically speaking, there's little difference between being prescribed the substance by a doctor and administering the substance myself, other than that the responsibility of managing my regimen would fall to the doctor rather than myself; however, I'd technically prefer to get this stuff from the pharmacy because then I'd know it's not adulterated, but I can just do reagent tests at home for now.

I would be happy to move to a prescribed treatment if ever this treatment is able to be offered by prescription; that aside, however, my own due diligence is sufficient for my needs and is not likely to result in a fatal overdose. I can't be entirely confident that it's impossible of course, but I can have a high degree of confidence that I'm not putting myself in significant danger right now.

The slippery slope argument doesn't entirely apply here, as I've actually tried other hard drugs (benzos, opioids, dissociatives, etc.) and could never really get into them (with the exception of benzos which I had to stop filling). I understand how they become addictive for others, but I don't really think I'm personally interested in them. What's more addictive for me isn't a body high but the ability to fully utilize my mind, which is what LSD does for me. It makes me feel as if I'm not limited like I am normally, which is incredibly refreshing.

I’ve heard that a very big explosion ontop of the Yellowstone expanding magma bubble could burst it with devastating consequences.

Is something like this realistic and considered in national security?
For airlines there are separate risk assessments for flight ops and revenue ops.

If the website fails, that costs a lot of money, but nobody is in danger. If dispatch systems fail that has a safety risk to flight ops.

While you may not be happy that your flight gets cancelled. For airline IT there is a cost vs benefit balance between the probability of flight cancellations vs the cost of having extra systems. (And in this case extra systems would probably have been affected by the same security platform, because not having that is another risk of cyber attack to consider)

That doesn't apply to flight ops, where each operator needs to prove to a very high level that safety is always maintained. Maximum probability for catastrophic failure is 10E-9 and for hazardous is 10E-7. No commercial considerations considered, have to make those numbers to be allowed to operate.
Probably a really dumb question and I missed it somehow, but who is paying for this if it's free?
Yes, but one cannot count transitive dependencies as if they are not your dependencies. They are still all needed to build your project, thus they are effectively yours as well. I find the pure number of dependencies involved worrying tbh (and this is not strictly related to your project, but if this is the case throughout the whole rust ecosystem, then it is a global problem).
Someone else pointed me to Solomonoff induction too, which looks really cool as an "idealised" theory of induction and it definitely solves my question in abstract. But there are obvious difficulties with that in practice, like the fact that it's probably uncomputable, right?

I mean I think even the "Complexity" coefficient should be uncomputable in general, since you could probably use a program which computes it to upper bound "Complexity", and if there was such an upper bound you could use it to solve the halting problem etc. Haven't worked out the details though!

Would be interesting if there are practical algorithms for this. Either direct approximations to SI or maybe something else entirely that approaches SI in the limit, like a recursive neural-net training scheme? I'll do some digging, thanks!
Sorry, I've never been there so I can't comment. But I thought London's system was a rail system; if that's the case, it should naturally be quieter.
I also lived in two of the richest countries with a social medical system

My experience is that GPs are over-worked, under paid (given their responsibilities), and can only afford to do shallow diagnostic in the 5-10 minutes they've got per patient. That's explained by a slow but relentless dismantling of any operational margin that existed in the system, whether it's financial, time etc.

I'm talking about the situation in France and the UK, not sure where you are, my point is that I agree about the system failing us, there's a lot to be said about what could be done but that's outside my area of expertise. I'm just being a little nicer to the doctors, as there's only so much they can do given the means they're given.
Hey Josh, this is a really neat idea! I can definitely see the value in real-time forum and Twitter monitoring, especially for brand reputation management and lead generation.
A few thoughts and questions:
Scalability: With so many forums and the real-time aspect, how do you handle data processing and ensure timely notifications without delays?
Filtering: False positives could be a pain. How robust is the keyword matching, and are there options for filtering by sentiment, forum quality, or specific user profiles?
Integrations: Down the line, integrations with popular marketing/CRM tools would be super valuable (e.g., pushing leads into a CRM). Any plans for this?
I'm curious about the technical side too. Combining various forum APIs and handling the data firehose must be quite the challenge. Did you build any custom scraping/parsing solutions?
In theory shareholders can vote pretty much as they want regarding removal and approval of CEOs.

Breach of fiduciary duty however would be if CEO intentionally defrauded then of their value (essentially, through intentional bad care for the company)
How did we even get here?

Aren't these just fonts? Why can't I just pick a different font? Why is there even a fight about this? Does it not strike anyone as silly? What's wrong with a gun emoji that it needs to be changed to a watergun? Maybe the next emoji standard can include both?
Oh, right; I forgot that's also a thing. I try to advocate for the reduction of SSRI use for that reason. It's a known side effect that they can permanently destroy or desensitize serotonin receptors when used for periods that exceed around a year or two (this varies by individual). I wouldn't even go that far, personally, but some people's doctors do not know about that effect of SSRIs and keep prescribing them for five years or more, in which case I usually take it upon myself to educate the person directly if their doctor does not know. I don't tell them to stop taking it immediately or anything, just that they might want to watch how long they stay on it.

(Side note: I don't know what's so special about prescribers when most of them don't even fully understand the substances they're prescribing. It's possible that fully educating myself about what I'm doing might actually have been better than having blindly accepted a prescription for it, at least in some hypothetical future where this stuff can even be prescribed at all. I guess some people associate illegality automatically with immorality/irresponsibility.)
this is very cool indeed that meta has made available more than they need to in terms of model weights.

however, the "open-source" narrative is being pushed a bit too much like descriptive ML models were called "AI", or applied statistics "data science". with reinforced examples such as this, we start to lose the original meaning of the term.

the current approach of startups or small players "open-sourcing" their platforms and tools as a means to promote network effect works but is harmful in the long run.

you will find examples of terraform and red hat happening, and a very segmented market. if you want the true spirit of open-source, there must be a way to replicate the weights through access to training data and code. whether one could afford millions of GPU hours or not, real innovation would come from remixing the internals, and not just fine-tuning existing stuff.

i understand that this is not realistically going to ever happen, but don't perform deceptive marketing at the same time.
IMO, it's also because vertical orientation is effectively the default on a phone.

Nobody expects to have to turn their video camera sideways to capture in the "correct" orientation... but you must on a phone.
Not sure, it depends what you like. Putting it on rural/conservative is pretty low. There are more progressive people outside Warsaw than inside.

I like old buildings, so prefer Cracow as it wasn't rebuilt, the old buildings there are really old, not built in past 80 years.

Also capital dwellers tend to have such self-centric attitude that makes other people upset (Warsaw is known as the "default city", because in some early days of internet when some of them asked about where to buy stuff, they didn't mention in which city, they assumed it was Warsaw).
Is it going to be like many of these hearings where they just go: "I don't recall," "I'll get back to you on that," "I’m not aware of those specifics at this time"? Hopefully not, and there will be some real answers and, more importantly, real repercussions later on.
I had the same opinion with async/await, that it's nice to know a function performs IO and will wait before continuing. Makes it clearer when to use Promise.all to make multiple requests in parallel and wait for all of them to finish before continuing (faster than making calls sequentially).

I kind of wish the languages I use had Haskell's IO monad too, to separate functions in terms of the type system, but that's slightly different.

ohh, that could finally be a great way to get my ttrpg books readable for kindle. I'll give it a try, thanks for that.
I see nobody really reads past the point at which they get emotionally jolted.
It was just the other day I read a comment on HN on how CEOs should not be responsible for what occurs in the company they are leading. It should only be the frontline workers who should be punished never the management.

I thought I was taking crazy pills when I read that and started wondering where the world was headed. Im glad atleast the CEOs are expected to give answers.
I was surprised with the lengths that doctors went to for the named patients in this article. for the first guy a new drug was synthesised specifically for him and for the others they had experimental surgery in Sweden. do we have the same level of care for the negative effects of drug addiction nowadays or were these just rich people?
I do wonder whether the tendency for short stints at places is hampering this guy to be honest, especially in what is now quite a difficult market for employees. The lack of feedback from companies isn't good though.
That was a good strategy before sites like Twitter existed. Now, I can watch live feeds and info coming in without any journalists filtering it for me, or actually have them adding info while I consume primary sources.

For example, several times in my life I happen to have caught a live stream that was reported on wildly inaccurately by legacy news media. I happened to watch, for example, the "Covington kids"[0] stream because it was trending on Twitter that day. Knowledge of that reporting travesty should be enough to shake anyone from experiencing the Gell-Mann amnesia effect, and wouldn't have been dispelled by reading several news sites because just so many were involved. Frankly, it was a disgusting and irresponsible response by said journalists and organisations and should lead people to stop reading those publications in their entirety.

That's not the only example, but the idea that powerful "truth seeking" organisations should try and destroy the lives of children because of an agenda and a MAGA hat is an indictment of those organisations. It led to death threats against children.

I'm happy with choosing my own sources of trust, thanks, and it won't be to read from sources that do that kind of thing. I have a thing called basic morality, and encouraging violence against children is a line I'm not willing to cross.

YMMV.

> The trouble is that people have different preferences for different equipment and by mandating one particular bike, you disadvantage a lot people based on who does better on a particular bike

This is not backed by fact.

Most world tour riders have very little choice on their equipment, nor do they choose the team sponsors. They have some leeway on a few third party components of their choice and can usually which frame model they use among a tiny selection of less than 3 models but that doesn't change drastically how the bike ride really as long as the bike fits. You could totally make a race where everybody ride the same kind of bike, and riders would be able to choose the frame size, saddle, stem and handlebar size, and possibly clipless pedal models that would make everything more standard.

Actually in Japan they do something similar in keiring. All frames are built with steel tubes, they use old styles of pedals with clips, and only parts stamped by NJS, following design and construction principles of track bikes of the late 70's, are approved. Sometimes regular olympic track racers spend a few months in Japan in the off season to get some additional money, they swap their high end carbon bikes prototypes to what looks like vintage track bikes of the 70's, you can actually see the bikes bending under load, yet the best riders with the best strategy of the day still win.

> So we’d have to shut down tons of other useful functions to change it.

What? No. The problem with this stuff is the privacy-invasion aspect.

For example, ubiquitous camera installations in public spaces and businesses are 100% fine if they're truly closed-circuit systems that have no storage capability. If all these cameras offer is tele-vision, then there's no privacy problem.

So, if this sort of stuff was guaranteed to be used for a purpose that's beneficial to individual clients and the public at large (rather than scraping up pennies by selling the recordings to data brokers and data analysis firms), there'd be no problem at all.

The solution becomes clear: make video, audio, still image, biometric, and behavioral data toxic waste.

* If a company ever uses such data in any way that's not clearly and conspicuously disclosed in plain English to their clients, fire every executive member of that company and permanently bar each of them from holding any executive or management position ever again.

* If a company ever sends any payment (whether monetary, or in goods and/or services rendered) to a company that is (or owns) a data broker, customer/consumer data analysis firm, or similar, then that company is considered to have engaged the services of said company and presumed to be sending the data of their clients to said company. Fire every executive member of that company and permanently bar each of them from holding any executive or management position ever again.
Running a different OS for each business function is my favorite absurd solution to this problem.
[Zhukov said:]“There are two kinds of mines; one is the personnel mine and the other is the vehicular mine. When we come to a mine field our infantry attacks exactly as if it were not there. The losses we get from personnel mines we consider only equal to those we would have gotten from machine guns and artillery if the Germans had chosen to defend that particular area with strong bodies of troops instead of with mine fields. The attacking infantry does not set off the vehicular mines, so after they have penetrated to the far side of the field they form a bridgehead, after which the engineers come up and dig out channels through which our vehicles can go.”
I like piper. On my Mac, I have a one liner triggered by a mouse/trackpad gesture that copies any selected text, sanitizes it, pipes it to piper, which in turn pipes a raw audio stream into IINA, which I can pause or rewind. It also sets the title of the IINA window to the page title, window title or app name of the text source, so that I can have multiple readers paused and differentiate them.

Some of the piper voices are a step up from Apple’s. But I also have it automatically cycle through my preferred voices, which reduces monotony.
piper is feee and on GitHub and doesn’t use much cpu. I had to comb through many voice to find the most realistic and natural sounding. (Some of the truly human sounding voices would hallucinate gibberish occasionally, so I abandoned those.)

I set this up because Apple’s reader would choke on text with special characters and abort reading, or read aloud bullet point markers strangely, or suddenly start reading all subsequent English text as if it was French after encountering a French name.

I love it so much, and in no small part to IINA respecting media keys and headset buttons, so I can be listening to an article and remove an AirPod and the article stops. This makes it so much easier to use around interruptions.
HaltingProgram and MaybeHalting is expressible(or vice versa), if you want to cover all programs in one of two types. If you want specifically HaltingProgram and NotHaltingProgram then you need a third category of MayOrMayNotHaltingProgram.
A defacto standard for interchange ("feeds" announcing changes to activities), not for a database (remembering a large set of activities indefinitely).

The appropriate schemas are vastly different: a message like iCalendar should be simple and self-contained (leaving cleverness to the applications exchanging it), while a database like the article discusses should be normalized (nontrivial structures and queries aren't a problem).
