Why are you so angry? Where did I say that flat earthers should be silenced?

You desperately need to remove yourself from communities of perpetual victimhood.

All I said was that they are not legitimately questioning the science, because they are not.

The one thing that is extremely interesting is that even the people who loudly shout for free speech do not themselves believe in it, as they constantly try to cancel all sorts of free speech and expression essentially constantly.

Very very few people believe in absolute free speech.

if you keep building more house it can't be that people keep buying them as investment with no one to rent it to. Cost of construction can be fixed with policies but it's a secondary factor after supply/demand
Maybe they are more modern and with more features and so on, but the default user experience absolutely sucks on tmux and ip, which makes using them useless on servers you don't control, and asking to "oh lemme just drop my config here" is just insane as a default.

Which is why the older tools don't go away.
Notably, the bank in question wasn't bothered by restrictions on the property when granting the business loan. Nor did the bank ever have to find out.
I was surprised to not see American Beauty mentioned, if you're talking about attention and enchantment I think that's probably one of the most well known films tackling the topic. https://youtu.be/Qssvnjj5Moo

Also reminded me of Joyce who pretty much declared this to be the central job of the artist, comparing it to the Eucharist:

>It’s because when the US thought it could invade and conquer, they were thoroughly trounced and had their original White House burned down

By the British, not by "Canada" (which didn't exist).

To put another way, even had the US not invaded British North America, the UK would still have attacked Washington as part of the overall war. The one did not cause the other.
After many years of hiring contractors, my belief is many are drunk all day long. I have found empty hard liquor bottles on finished work sites many times. It could be because their bodies are in pain, but I have a good friend whose a painter who began his career at 16 in NYC and he said they always had a case of beer at 3pm.
Tmux is rarely ever there by default (only on OpenBSD that I know of), but it's always available. On the other hand, screen isn't available by default on many Linux distros either.
Super interesting! Thank you!
It does not matter, as A/B is the same as (Ac)/(Bc), where c is the same constant A and B get multiplied by.

> Is that because the people making the loan aren't sophisticated enough to price those securities correctly in this context and so are being taken advantage of?

No, it's because using stock (and other securities) this way allows them to "convert" the stock into money without actually realizing the gains. Thus they derive benefit from the gains without actually paying capital gains tax.
> which is aburdly wasteful of the possible ~65k inbound ports

What is being wasted? It's not as if those extra ports have additional bandwidth or processing power available to them that you wouldn't otherwise have. You also need a spare port if you're going to do any outbound connections.

Worst case, as far as I can see, is that CGNAT providers might require more outbound IP addresses than they might ideally need if more ports were actually used; but in the general case, there is no reason to care about "wasted" ports.
I use them all the time, never had one refused. The web site front end validation can only check the number with the Luhn algorithm — number looks valid. Actual validation and accept/decline gets done by the payment processor.

My math (and google) shows a 300 mm diameter wafer, and 300,000,000 transistors/mm^2

So for $20,000 (in quantity) you get somewhere around 10 trillion transistors?

That's enough for about 50 4096x4096 multiply-accumulate chips. At a nice slow 1 Mhz clock rate, each would take about 3.5 watts, and give you 16 teraflops of performance. If you stepped up the power and cooling, you could likely get to 350 watts of power at 100 Mhz, and 1.6 Petaflops.

50 of those chips, for $20,000 --> $400 each

Smartphones with 32GB or less storage are not rare. I can still buy a brand-new Android phone at the local electronics chain with 32GB storage.
The Starlink service is quite different that GlobalStar or Iridium. It is actual LTE with unmodified phones.

The new Starlink V2 satellites have direct-to-cell functionality with big antennas to pick up mobile phones. They have tested it, but rolling it out depends on getting enough V2 satellites launched. And that may depend on Starship working.
GOES is not quite as spatially accurate as surface mounted detectors and IIRC fails to recognize certain types of flashes that are of interest to humans. It’s more of a general intensity meter than anything like a warning system.

This sort of crap was banned under the first sale doctrine (which basically said that if you sell a thing, then the buyer owns the thing, including the right to use and resell it, and even the patented parts of it). The impact was overwhelmingly positive.

One could argue that using copyright and eulas to bypass first sale is a misuse of copyright (the standard penalty for that is “you lose your copyright”, which seems completely reasonable and proportional to me).

With IPv6 this consideration is almost completely moot.

This constant engineering overhead to play to the weaknesses of IPv4 is the problem.

> To prevent similar incidents from happening in the future, Pidgin announced that, from now on, it will only accept third-party plugins that have an OSI Approved Open Source License, allowing scrutiny into their code and internal functionality.

This is an understandable policy, but how would it have stymied the attacker in this case? It's unlikely that Windows users would be building from source (and Darkgate appears to be Windows only). Unless there's a policy that Pidgin extensions are strictly reproducible, it seems unlikely that the presence of an adjacent, benign source artifact would have increased the likelihood of early discovery.

GaLore can do that too (if you transplant it). There are similar methods prior LLM era doing the same. They are not quite there on the loss graph side though (I am actually unsure about GaLore, but both FLoRA and ReLoRA were not quite there on loss graph side).
A lot of these utilities are still useful in limited environments. OpenWrt routers still use the network based ones, and for most of the others busybox implements them with just a few lines of code. In some cases the simplicity also aids with scripting in the limited environments as well.
He has.

Americans on either side of politics think that Canada is full of super-leftists (and there is no shortage). But were Canada a part of the US in 2016, Trump would have won AB, SK, and quite possibly enough of the GTA (the parts that loved Rob Ford, and as "Ford Country" has repeatedly won the province for Doug Ford as mentioned) to win ON, the province most resembling MI/WI/PA, the three states that Trump unexpectedly won the election with.
OT vs CRDT: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26694359/differences-bet...

In my opinion, the problem with CRDTs is they don't really have a great concept of access control and enforcing rules. Since everyone's a peer, you can only do things like "last write wins" etc.

In a video game, for instance, I could disconnect and then spam the peers with tons of updates, claiming they were all done in the past, and they'd have to accept them all.

PouchDB and IPFS lets nodes sort of make decisions about who to replicate from, but it's rudimentary: https://pouchdb.com/guides/replication.html

Hypercore is much better because it is an append-only log where every chunk is signed: https://docs.pears.com/how-tos/replicate-and-persist-with-hy...

However, it's still not enough, because hypercore only supports a single-writer. There has been some work on hypercore multiwriter in the last few years (which I followed with interest) but none of it is Byzantine fault-tolerant, and it was ultimately dropped. In fact, if you leak the key, anyone you can probably corrupt a hypercore rather easily and prevent it from making forward progress.

This is why at the end of the day, you still go back to the ideas of preventing forks. The problem is that blockchains do it via global consensus, which is hugely wasteful and overkill. But you do need something to run essentially "smart contracts", i.e. software that runs "in the cloud" which is infeasible to tamper with. Like Internet Computer's canisters for example... https://internetcomputer.org/docs/current/concepts/canisters...

Ultimately, these architectures will end up being far more reliable and resilient than the Web, because the Web is based around hosting and location ("where" something is) rather than content ("what" something is). IPFS and cids are a step towards that future, but other projects like ICP and Freenet are leapfrogging them... they have smart contracts based around WebAssembly.

Incidentally, I interviewed Ian Clarke about the original freenet, and he recently announced the new freenet, which is based around webassembly, and the swarming is done using "small-world topology" instead of kademlia DHT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBtyNIqZios

Polling is a fool's errand, in my experience, since I'd guess a ton of the "how about now?" responses are "nope"

IMHO sitemap.xml and/or ActivityPub are sleeper approaches to helping the sites with the adversarial relationship they have with scrapers. In my experience, there are two schools of thought: play the very expensive game of cat and mouse (expensive for BOTH sides) of trying to verify the human-ness of visitors, or make it so the inevitable bots don't eat up very expensive and valuable resources that can be spent serving actual humans

Imagine how much less nonsense would have to go on if Amazon had ActivityPub that CamelCamelCamel could subscribe to, or similar for Craigslist

I'm not saying "all information wants to be free," so if Amazon wants to focus its energies on hoarding the review content, since that's arguably its moat, fantastic - let the bot and anti-bot people war over that content, instead of arguably factual data found on the product listing pages

Correct, the bytecode wasn't even 1:1 compatible. They then brought over missing pieces, and consolidated .NET Framework features into .NET Core, thus becoming just .NET to end the dumb naming war, since everyone calls it .NET anyway...

Uhh... I don't consider myself an eco-hippie, but that "mitigation" sounds like a euphemism or sinister "mitigation of negative PR", rather than actually literally doing less damage.

Like: "Gradually make things worse so that animals flee on their own, and if they die of starvation at least it's somewhere else so it won't make the local news with kids finding corpses on the beach."
vue! yes!
The author is doing several things here which might bother you. Among them is mixing the meaning of "enchantment" with the meaning of "wonderment." He begins the article by defining enchantment as "magic, mystery, animate spirits, or other non-human forces and agents" but through the whole body of the article only treats it as a sense of wonderment, which is not the same thing. You are right to be irritated by this. Another thing he is doing is repeatedly asserting the enchanting qualities of the world without ever addressing why these things are enchanting, with the implication that the why isn't worth addressing or maybe isn't possible to know, when it is obvious. In most of his examples, the reason is because we are naturally reductive and reduce complex phenomena to much simpler mental models. Then when we look closer, we marvel at the far more complex reality. The author behaves as if this is some sort of deep mystery of the universe.
They're not converting anything. If they don't pay back the loan the stock must be surrendered. If the stock does not have the face value required to satisfy the loan more money must be paid in to settle the debt. If the stock loses value you may very well get a call from the bank reducing the size of your loan facility or requiring you to put more collateral into the contract.

They're deriving secondary benefit from ownership and they're paying interest for the facility with the ultimate expectation that they pay back the loan and the stocks never actually trade hands.

This is not much different from any interest bearing account. Should it be that you have to take all your money out of savings and ensure you earn nothing from it if you intend to offer it as collateral on a loan?
There are lots of places in the US that don't have cellular service. There are lots of people who go hiking without PLB or satellite messenger cause they are expensive. They take their phones.

It's been very hard to explain to my organisation that Windows Server is dead. We haven't deployed a system to it in two years, everything is some kind of dockerised linux thing but the "we're a Microsoft shop" idea prevails.

In the end we decided to just let the management think what they want. I've been more of a Unix person for 40 years but I kind of miss the "good" versions of Microsoft Server - in the 1990s / early 2000s it was a real contender. If they hadn't doubled down on weird things like Powershell it might still be a contender.

Rust Dylib Rabbit Holes
No, I'm talking about writing an OS kernel, compiler, math library, networking stack, CAD software, simulators, etc. These are engineering heavy challenges and absolutely software engineering. This is exactly what I'm talking about... no one sees the invisible software that rarely ever fails. Yeah, petsmart.com has errors, but it's incredibly unlikely it's due to a routing stack software failure (failure, not misconfiguration).
All of the API titles have been replaced by emojis () for me. Is this a bug or is it intentional?
Because websites et al fail a lot and a lot of software that runs invisibly does not. Typically engineering refers to something that works at a particular rate of failure (low hopefully).

But at the same time it's just strange to me to see someone actually trying to clean up an online community and make it more ideal labeled as "pathetic" and a "snitch," as if a cheater's right to waste other people's time and pleasure is more important and people should just accept someone bragging about acting poorly in a social context. I don't think that's very productive behavior.
