For what its worth, I've spent a lot of time thinking about this because - and full disclosure -- I've been working on a startup for news. (More on that below.)

But let's rewind a little bit, because chances are that just a few decades ago, you (or your parents) probably did pay for news, through a newspaper subscription, or cable fees, etc.

The Internet came out, and it seemed natural to offer news for free online. For years, printed newspapers cost so little that the real money came in from advertising. Delivering it digitally was a huge cost savings -- no printing -- so why not just put it online and advertise against it?

That kind of worked, even with a saturated online advertising market. The big problem was social media, and aggregators.

These should be a net benefit -- or at least it would seem, on paper. Very popular sites linking to your article? That's great! Traffic will come, you can sell ads, profit.

There's a downside, though. People stopped going to news homepages -- because the links go to articles.

Think back to when you used to hold a print newspaper -- or just imagine it, if you never did. You bought the newspaper, or you subscribed. Regardless, the transaction came about because you wanted to be kept up to date. It didn't generally matter what was inside the newspaper -- there was a trust/gamble that the $1 (or whatever it was) you paid for the paper would be worth it. You'd flip through the pages, and there would be articles and ads. It didnt matter which articles you read, which you skipped, you saw the same number of ads, and they had value.

Now, that front page is an aggregator or a social feed. Sites need to get your attention so that you will click through -- so they can show you ads, or a paywall -- however they monetize. They cannot monetize if you don't click.

If you write a really good headline, one that actually summarizes the story -- you give the user little reason to click through. There's no monetization. So you write clickbait. And your editors start to look at what gets traffic spikes, and they redouble their efforts on those topics, which aren't always the most newsworthy.

Further, you're now competing against everyone with a keyboard. They don't have to do the work like you do -- they aren't held to ethical or professional standards, they dont have to do the shoeleather reporting, they just type.

--

As mentioned above, this is why I'm building Forth (www.forth.news). The idea is a news feed for news -- where all of our posts come from real journalists. Our hope (and we're admittedly not there yet) is to monetize the headlines -- and let users read the way they want to, in a feed, with all sorts of topics -- but actually make it financially viable for the people doing the reporting.
The symbolic part is the MCTS and/or theorem prover. DL is deep learning, i.e. the multilayered neural network. Neurosymbolic approaches form a significant branch of current machine learning. You can read up on all of it if you're actually curious and asking all this in good faith, but I suspect you're not.
nah, now i think about it after another comment here, it might really be an unnecessary nitpicking of mine. shit happens here and there, and it's not every time in our power to catch the errors.

still, the thing about twitter/reddit userbase is kinda baffling, i.e. are they even a solid reason for including a remark on 'wokeism', just because of the respective communities' fuss? IMO still better to tie this one to your service's uncensored-ness, in whatever sense of noncommittal to "mainstream liberal media's" consensus or whatnot you choose (if only you still insist on using political slang at all, of course, which i personally suggest to be dropped for any area of the left-right axis or planar compass, while we're speaking about a non-targeted and universal image creation platform.)
There's not a bank on earth (that isn't headquarted in said countries) that is voluntarily sharing information with Eritrea, Myanmar, etc.

I'm going to venture a wild guess: it may not be that difficult to hide assets from the short arms of the Tajikistani tax office.

So I don't think it's crazy to assume Americans are the only ones suffering under this policy in practice.
Thanks, I have watched several of his videos previously and they are indeed full of good tips but somehow I'm still not able to get to the point where the shmup loop kicks in. For me, I think it's not mainly an issue of knowledge or technique, hence my post with ideas on how future shmups might be made more accessible to those like myself.
I think the author is in the right ballpark, but frames it in a way that makes me wonder if they're right for the wrong reason.

News has always been partisan and flawed. The internet just makes the flaws more obvious, because no single source gets nearly the same control over the narrative as pre-internet. As long as someone stands to benefit from you thinking a certain way about things, news will have this problem.

Which is also why no one will pay for it. As long as someone stands to benefit from you thinking a certain way, they'll happily give you that content for free. How can a subscription service compete with that?

The article does cite these reasons, but in a way that makes me think they see these as bugs in the system and not endemic to the newscycle. When you aren't paying for the product, then you ARE the product.

Not sure why this article (or Palantir) is trying to paint this as a new thing.
I started at a legacy defense contractor immediately after graduating from undergrad. I was hired and had my security clearance process initiated during the fall of my senior year.
Unfortunately this was during the great backup of ~2016 so I still wasn't cleared by the time I started, but they still had unclassified work I could do.
Not sure what problem you are facing, but I could read that article just fine, no subscription. Win 10, Firefox. For the rest there is always archive.is
What I don't get is that RAID5 is a simple xor. It should be a trivial operation, that would be equally trivial to hardware accelerate.

What I am the most puzzled by is how parity (i.e. RAID5) is so bad in windows storage space. A modern CPU should be able to xor data at several gigabytes per second. And it seems that even by optimizing the block sizes, windows storage space parity caps at a couple hundred MB/s.
Well so far we tried doing nothing and that didn’t work either.

We should have at least prevented them from growing so fast via acquisitions but it’s too late for that now.

I personally noticed a steep drop off in efficacy once I built up tolerance each of the handful of times I’ve tried and then given up using nicotine as a medicine. It’s low reward and high risk (full blown addiction).

>What I do NOT believe is that the Social Security number just sort of came about and started being used by government services such as the IRS without anyone being responsible for that huge organizational decision or the initial (current?) lack of security controls around its implementation.

They didn’t “just sort of come about”, they were created for this exact purpose of tracking government services. Over the years, the number of government services expanded because of the lack of other alternative like I said.

And the lack of security around SSNs is because they weren't intended to be secret. It is generally private sector groups like banks and credit agencies that have turned this into a problem by treating SSNs as if they are a proof of identification. They were created as usernames, but people treated them as passwords.
Is grounded still around? Because that's what they offered.

For me I find skipping the daily hystronic news cycle is better for my health. Anything of significant enough import would get to me via social channels, at which point I can go find enough sources about a subject to get a proper nuanced view
A few years ago, O'Reilly had a 60% off sale for an annual subscription, which I promptly took advantage of. I've been paying only $200 per year ever since. Not sure if they still have that deal.

The nicer things are suid a guid.

suid is to run things as another user without passwords. Mostly used for root access today and ignored for anything else. I personally think that's a missed oportunity when they added the unshare/namespace/capdrop stuff... would have been so nice if the interface to containers was a freaking simple 'suid as this lowly user' for a userland api. anyway.

and guid ON DIRECTORIES, are so that users can save files in a groups that then others can also update. So you can have `/srv/http/htdocs userA webmasters -rwxswx---`

then there's umask which may help or get in the way. and getfacl et al.

overall it's a mess that covers many usecases after you've been initiated.
I salute you for your bravery, I can't even make myself comfortable with the idea of switching from Firefox to Librewolf, never mind "any new fork" of a browser. The security implications are just too severe - malicious code, lingering vulnerabilities, project abandonment, etc.
Here's something that I wished existed. After getting a 3D printer, and learning modeling software, I'm constantly creating "stuff" that doesn't exist in any store, but satisfy needs I've had around the house. Now there are 3D model hosting sites where you can sell downloads of your model file. And there are 3D printing farms where you can have them crank out and ship you any quantity of your models. I want that combined into one B2B entity where I can place a listing for one of my products on something like Ebay or Amazon. Then when a customer orders it, have it fulfilled by the 3D print farm company, package it up with my product instructions, and ship it out to the customer (and once volume hits a certain level, maintain inventory at Amazon for example). They collect payment and send me the difference between my sell price and their manufacturing price, with automatic price breaks when volume hits a specific level.

Objects that I've designed and 3D printed for myself include things like Dremel tool attachments, dust port attachments for my router table, nut/washer holders that you screw on the bottom of a table to hold the nut in place (so you can move a top post from one location to another as needed without reaching under the table to hold onto the nut), things like that. Some small items, some larger mechanical devices.

The closest I've seen to this is some woodworkers on Youtube run their own store and have a small number of 3D printers for cranking out the products they sell. I want something like this scaled up for any designer.
Very cool, it works great!
Again, signs you are working at a crappy place. Those places are incompetent and you should move to somewhere where it is competent.

I have actually been a manager at a big tech and a small start up, and yes there is politics at all sizes, but its extremely rare for an engineering manager to not have been an engineer previously. I was that manager, being the mentor.
Gosh, one might even characterize this as a Faustian bargain with some sort of FANGed daemon.
Thanks for the feedback. You raise great points and this was the reason why we wrote this post, so that we can hear from people where the actual problem lies.

On a related note, this sort of explains why our model is struggling to fit on 500 hours of our current dataset (even on the training set). Even so, the current state of automatic translation for Indian Sign Language is that, in-the-wild, even individual words cannot be detected very well. We hope that what we are building might at least improve the state-of-the-art there.

> It's more of a bad and broken transliteration that if you struggle to think about you can parse out and understand.

Can you elaborate a bit more on this. Do you think if we make a system for bad/broken transliteration and funnel it through ChatGPT, it might give meaningful results? That is ChatGPT might be able to correct for errors as it is a strong language model.
I have trouble believing any of these reasons. You don't pay for news because you can get it for free elsewhere. You don't have to be all high and mighty about it.

This reminds me of users which complain about feature X. But when you fix feature X nothing changes and they move on to complaining about feature Y. People are very bad at knowing what they want.
Right? I could buy the entire f*cking Sunday paper for $1.75 and spend three hours reading it on Sunday morning, and take a fun article to work on Monday. I miss those days, though it was probably a huge waste of paper and water. Although the industry actually provided jobs back then.

If you simply let me read TFA for $1 or $0.50 I would do that 5 or 10 times a month. But I guess capitalism says that they would rather have 1 person pay $100 a year than 2500 people pay fifty cents once a month.

It makes it into a silly little footnote, a very little footnote, I was both sad and disappointed when I read and understood it in an appendix.

Apparently anyone advocating for 1A rights is a Russian agent of some kind. It just makes zero sense to me.

Aren't we fighting Russia in Ukraine to preserve these very rights? Yet peacetime countries seem to be willingly throwing them in the trash.
The written justification that judges give for their rulings is literally called a "judicial opinion."

Human understanding of humans and human social structures (which one needs to make just rulings) isn't objective. To claim otherwise is not just subjective, but incoherent. It's an infinite regress. Many people throughout history possessing ideas that we now consider to be stupid were convinced of their objectivity.

FWIW, I think this vendetta against Kim Dotcom is way out of line, and wouldn't have happened if he were more important.
Of course, nowadays even more so, unless users want to expose $HOME to the world.
It was $800 so far.

Your point is valid for normal usage patterns where there is a direct relationship between active users and cost. But an attack meant OP’s costs were sky rocketing even though usage was flat.
The criticism section seems to explain why the treaty was on shaky grounds.

There is no right or wrong when it comes to diplomacy or war - whoever wins is who was retroactively right. I’m very sorry Ukraine and Russia were both dragged into this war because of two irresponsible and corrupt political systems.

I reckon a good knowledge of photography (and experience) helps to obtain better results. Knowing `depth of field' can give only the main subject in sharp focus.
Examining the background and/or resting the camera on/against physical object before taking the snap could achieve a better result. The quality of the lens system in the `camera' is also very important!

> Presumably double the density you also double the size of the school and double the teachers.

It's not that easy. If you doubled the density, maybe there is nowhere left to go for the school to expand, or the land is now so expensive there is no way for the town to afford expanding the school.

My town is an example. The middle school had two quite large empty lots on two sides.

Those lots have now multi-story apartment buildings in construction. Presumably those apartments will attract younger families who might have kids going to middle school. But if that school ever needs to expand, it is now boxed in by housing on all sides. Time will tell how it goes.
I used to have my own half server rack and unlimited bandwidth for $500/mo.

It's a multifacted problem, so you're still going to have the attention problem. NPR is primarily user funded, so if your news is boring (as non-biased, non-slanted tends to be thankfully) you're going to lose out to the more..."exciting" sources.
It's a short comment so it's easily misunderstood
He probably means that due to compliance and security and so on, data leak risks etc, it would never be greenlit to be used because COBOL which is mostly in the financial industry and many other very relied upon infrastructure things, while you could just get advice from chatGPT while coding away for example that wouldn't be allowed because of the proprietary secret nature of the code and the data
Even just internal coding customs if understood by the hypothetical enemy through leaks on prompts with important data that was used to train a newer model, raises the risk of being attacked in a more sophisticated manner
So while it's awesome that tools are started to be built, and I wished there was more of it while working on the same thing, there is a whole lot of analysis on if a tool is even allowed to be used while still being compliant with all of the various regulations that have to be followed both in working style and security and data protection
I immediately groaned when I read "public bucket."

On AWS you'd put CloudFront in front of the (now-private) bucket as a CDN, then use WAF for rate limiting, bot control, etc. In my experience GCP's services work similarly to AWS, so...is this not possible with GCP, or why wasn't this the setup from the get-go? That's the proper way to do things IMO.

Signed URLs I only think of when I think of like, paid content or other "semi-public" content.
> 128MB of L3 cache

Sure, if you use X3D chip with the current largest amount of L3 cache accessible to a single core of any option currently available you can dedicate all of it to 128 MB of the write buffer to your disk instead of letting it be offloaded. Valid option, just as cool. I have a non X3D 7950X so jealous though ;).

You've also got the case of needing to transmit up the read of the disk for modifications to sectors not cached by the system so the CPU can perform the parity calc of the whole sector and issue the appropriate writes. Particularly bad for non-sequential IO writes.

Every phone provider has a log of the IMEI binding to cell tower and triangulation over multiple towers. Call logs are one thing, carrier cell connect and disconnect is another.

If your phone is on, your position in time and space to some circular error is also known, continuously.

To say nothing of Bluetooth that's with the advertising hoardings and inside the store mainly.

Basically, any privacy nut with a phone and simcard is in denial.

> I can assure you that tax credits aren't money, they're just less tax debt

But ... they are? Money is fungible; if you owe $1k in taxes and you get given $1k in cash, that's the same as if they just make your tax burden go away.

And it's clearly obvious that it can't cost $20k a year to raise a child, as many families are below that in income ("In 2022, there was a total of 7.4 million families living below the poverty line in the United States.") - if it costs $20k to raise a child, and there are 11.6 million kids in poverty in 2022, then the average poverty family has 1.5 kids, costing $30k a year - but the poverty line is between $23k-27k for a family of 3.5! So the kids cost more than total income, which is patently absurd.

Anyway, the whole point of it is - are you the lowest earner in the country? No? Then someone makes less than you and lives on it. If you mimic them, you will have something to save.

But people don't want to do that. They want to say "woe is me, everything is shit, might as well buy that burger" and continue as a debt-slave to the corporations.

As to the first, the benefits of children are somewhat financial, if you take advantage of them and you'll be too damn busy to spend any money on anything but. But the "stable marriage" part may be way more important.
That is correct. We want to translate between English and ISL. English, because it is by and large the language of the Web and I think we should try to connect ISL to it rather than Indian Languages.

From my understanding, they are quite dissimilar. A person who knows ISL will not understand ASL, for example.
You should never submit an SF-86 before your first day of work. That is used to trick you into an interim clearance review that can lead to the job being revoked before you report for work. Once you're an official employee you can't be fired for denial of clearance, though an effort at constructive dismissal will likely ensue if they can't find an uncleared role for you.
