Obligatory repeat of this detail, since you're talking about PayPal as a Musk success story:

Musk had very little to do with the success of PayPal. I'm not even talking in terms of the "Gwynne Shotwell is the real genius of SpaceX" naysayers. I'm talking:

Musk had an attempt at an online bank that was ... not going well.

Confinity had done what Musk couldn't - had built a prototype/MVP of PayPal. They'd already got it running. They had trademarks, everything. At this point, they'd created PayPal having nothing to do with Musk.

So Musk and his company architected a merger with Confinity. As a result of this merger, Musk was the largest shareholder, and was made the first CEO.

He remained CEO for only four MONTHS, most of which he spent trying to be stubborn about throwing away the entire prototype to rewrite it in Windows/IIS and Classic ASP (i.e. Visual Basic) because he didn't understand Solaris and Java.

The Board got so sick of this that a couple of days after his four month anniversary, when he'd just left for two weeks off on his honeymoon of all things, they fired him in his absence.

Think about how badly you have to fuck up as a CEO of a company that you're the major shareholder in that they fire you (no "concentrating on my family", no "exploring other opportunities"), AND do it while you're on your honeymoon.

Following that, Musk's "contribution" to PayPal was mostly collecting shareholder dividend checks.

I despise Musk. But I will give him credit for his contributions to Tesla and to SpaceX. PayPal, though? That's just another rewriting of history to support the Musk idolatry.
Not in a million years. Men’s sexuality is a bad, no good, evil, unethical thing.

All types of “objectification” have been deemed extremely unethical and immoral. Progressives think you’re a horrible person if you take part in any kind of beauty pageant or other activity which causes objectification.
Just think about the exceptionally gifted "10x" engineers we all meet from time to time. There are people equally gifted in charisma and manipulation, they can predict what people are feeling and steer them where they want them with high success rates. This is what I think of whenever I see a politician on video or meet one in person.
This is what people with talents should do if they don't agree with the super riches who don't do anything substantial but inherit a shit ton of money.

The warnings here are not theoretical. Multiple people have died following Wim Hof's advice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wim_Hof#Method-related_deaths
Anecdotal, but out of my graduating class in chemical engineering from a University in Seattle, the top 20 students went into tech and finance. The worst performing students (by academic metrics) went to Boeing. Over time, I expect decisions to be made by engineers which are not stand outs. Coupled with the MBA trainwreck prioritizing profits and cost cutting, I expect Boeing has a very rough patch ahead.
> Still gets 3 r's in strawberry shortcake in a fresh context: https://i.imgur.com/EGI2UT9.png

Right, but again this would be valid according to the r-sound-interpretation.

To be precise, we actually have 3 possible interpretations of the question:

1- how many r's are spelled in strawberry in total (this is what everyone assumes is the intended question)

2- how many r-sounds are in strawberry

3- is it 1 or 2 r's in strawberry

My theory was just that we don't know which of the three the LLM thinks was intended, given that its answer is valid for 2/3 of them.

But I must admit that it seems hard to find examples where the LLM clearly assumes option 2 or 3.

So maybe the token-based explanation suffices after all.
> clearly it’s not about the content per see which is a dim a dozen and available for free in trove.

The free stuff isn't always as good, especially if you want something of a specific niche (fursuits, cosplay, etc). A lot of creators only upload cut-down vidros or "trailers" to free sites with a link to their OF.

At least in my case, I simply see it like the Patreon model. I like supporting some of my favorite artists, especially with something like an ongoing comic series I'll get previews of and vote on polls to influence. Onlyfans is the same if I particularly like some creator. It's great that we can directly support content creators of all kinds now.
But how often does it happen when cops aren't involved. If this were a medical phenomenon we'd expect to see familiarity with it among emergency room staff, homeless outreach, and other front line mental health workers. Do we?
I don't see any distinction there.

After stating that she was “completely sure that he knew racial hatred would be stirred up” as a result of his “utterly repulsive, racist and shocking posts that have no place in civilised society, including on social media”, HH Judge Lucking sentenced Kay to three years and two months in prison.

Basically yes.

Russia (more specifically its current regime) is the one who has chosen to make itself an enemy to its neighbors, not the other way around.

What Ukrainians choose to do about their situation is up to them. If you think you have constructive advice to offer them -- as someone not facing that situation, yourself -- you're welcome to speak with them directly and see what this effort brings you.
Pretty much yeah. SWAT'ing is doable pretty much anywhere that you have a functional PD, and all you have to do is call in a credible threat - "I shot someone, I have hostages" etc.

It's unfortunately common, and most PD's also don't have any way or system in place for you to inform them that this is likely to happen ahead of time. In fact there are people who get SWAT'd multiple times a week, and the PD shows up every time all gung ho. In one case I know of, the police started threatening to charge the victim for all the false calls.

But yeah. Someone can just call the police on you and they come and arrest you.
Plus the added benefit of looking exactly like a ballistic missile attack on radar. :D Hope nobody with a twitchy trigger finger ever mistakes your flight for one! And also hope that no enemy will try to disguise their incapacitating strike as a scheduled flight.
> article does not give me a real reason to doubt that the phenomenon is real

I think framing it as something pathological is what's doubtful. It's perfectly human reaction to try to form bonds in the environment you found yourself in with whoever is there to increase your chances of survival. And to feel distrustful of wannabe soldiers pointing guns in your general direction with the goal of bringing back business as usual as promptly as feasible (from PR standpoint) rather than saving your life.
I don't really think we're in disagreement here. The longer you wait, the harder the transition will be. LTS is a good foundation, and usually the right choice for "enterprise" or "business" settings, but you should not rely overmuch on any one LTS release's way of doing things, when the wider Linux ecosystem moves much faster.
The Switch can support a USB keyboard, which would be the nice way to do it. There's already a fair number of officially published games with keyboard and/or mouse support, including a couple of programming ones. It has an on-screen keyboard too of course but you wouldn't want to rely on that more than absolutely necessary.
Insofar there's been a very ramped up effort to characterize 'zionist' as a slur so as to silence critics of the ideology, yeah.
No one other than NIST is recommending phasing out pre-quantum crypto. Everyone else is using a combination of pre-quantum and post-quantum because trust in the security and robustness of the post-quantum ecosystem is fairly low.
Woah man, this post seems a little out there.

They killed someone.

That should require a huge introspection and if needed, shut down unsafe lines of business.

Their self driving car division was, by the accounts I read, never going to achieve self-driving and had serious problems.

If being a visionary means you are okay with killing people, then fuck being a visionary. “Moving fast and breaking things” should NEVER include killing people.
In the U.S. it really depends what state you're in. Some states have co-ops as a specific business vehicle and in many of them the co-op model is very different.
There are big farm co-ops, EMCs, etc. in the U.S. (Land-o-Lakes and Florida Natural Oranges come to mind, I believe they're both fully farmer owned), but I'm not super familiar with them or how their model works, but in Georgia where I am at least co-ops tend to work in one of two ways:

For smaller co-ops that don't bring in members very often or who are just getting started they often create an LLC and put in the articles of incorporation that all future members will receive an equal share and equal voting rights. This does require filing paperwork for every new member, but keeps taxes easy.

For co-ops that expect to have lots of members rapidly (consumer co-ops that sell shares in their store to whomever wants one, for example) they normally form a corporation and allocate a certain number of shares up front and indicate that any member has equal voting rights, etc. this makes the taxes harder, but is a lot less paperwork since you have to file stuff about the number of shares sold at the end of the quarter (or whenever, I forget the exact reporting details, been a while since I've done this) but not every single time you add a member.

Georgia (and a lot of other states) also have specific laws for EMCs and other specific types of co-ops, so it's really fragmented. Take this with a grain of salt, it's just two examples of how a lot of smaller co-ops do things.
This is like building your own keyboards. It's for people that like putting things together.

I've ordered DIY framework laptop not because it was cheaper, but because it was fun to build it.
Acknowledging prior indigenous use of the land doesn't necessarily have to lead to an undesirable free for all of as you say "unlimited private exploitation of public lands." There is another way.

Recognizing Aboriginal Title of traditional lands and joint lands management can be a way to control and limit exploitative uses of lands in a way which also recognizes traditional (generally a lot lighter!) land uses.
I feel this way about strip clubs. I’m pretty libertine and think that if you can make money dancing naked, more power to ya, but the few times I’ve been dragged to a strip club all I can focus on is the clientele who as you say largely seem to be chasing this dark, parasocial connection that can never be what they need it to be.

This particular riddle the answer is the doctor is the father.
Amazing that Elon was the only one crazy enough to put his money behind such a complex goal.
I don't think any of these issues are solved by selling you a pile of parts and having you build the machine yourself. An open/more flexible PID is a great idea, but that's just one piece of this product & could be built into an already assembled machine. There are some machines (Decent, Sam Remo You) that give you a lot more control, but even this level of control probably goes unused by a lot of its users if the h-b forums are to be believed.

More control than that, or a totally open PID, might be a hard sell for safety reasons. That alone is a nonstarter, but even as you approach that level of openness, it would be pretty hard to support and really isn't needed if you just want a good shot of espresso and aren't taking an niche academic approach to an already niche process. This is why you likely won't see it in more commercial machines.

I was aware of s2n-bignum which is a very cool project, but apparently there is a larger sister project, aws-lc, that aims for broader set of APIs including OpenSSL compatibility, while retaining the general approach and vibe (lots of formal verification + performance work): https://github.com/aws/aws-lc

That's pretty sweet. I'm currently using BoringSSL in a project as a supplement to OpenSSL (mostly because it is much easier to build for Windows users than requiring them to fiddle with msys2/vcpkg etc; the alternative is to rely on the Windows CNG API, but it lacks features like ed25519 support.) I wonder how much effort it would take to use aws-lc instead... Not that I'm that interested, BSSL is pretty good, but free performance and heavy automated verification is always nice :)

Related: one of the authors of this post, John Harrison, wrote a really good book about automated theorm proving about 15 years ago while working on floating point verification at Intel -- there's still no other book quite like this one, I think https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~jrh13/

I would add a couple games that moved me (Hindsight, A Memoir Blue). but I also have to mention not all of their titles are smash hits IMO -- I disliked Florence, Last Stop, If Found, and Open Roads.

That said, I agree that their good games have made me a fan, and I hope the original staff keeps going in some form.
I really like the look of vortex[1]! One of my industry pet peeves is all the useless utf-8 server log bytes. I'd like to log data in a sane, schemaful, binary format and this looks like it could be a good way to do that. Bonus points if we can wire this up as a physical layer for e.g. datafusion[2] so I can analyze my logs with the dataframe abstraction.

EDIT: Question about FSST--lets say I build a strings table like:

struct Strings {
compressor: fsst::Compressor,
compressed: Vec<Vec<u8>>
}

Is there some optimal length for compressed given the 255 symbols limit?

It seems that the proposal itself has given up on the syntax in the article and will be proposing try expressions instead. The ?= syntax would never fly given that there's already a ??= operator that does something else.

Given that the (much simpler) throw expressions have been stuck in bureaucratic hell for 7 years, I look forward to seeing try expressions some time around the heat death of the universe.
We can engineer more sustainable food production systems at multiple levels. Would you consider terracing a whole mountain to maximize water use to be sustainable? The initial impact is quite destructive but the result is a more sustainable and persistent food producing ecosystem. We can also use the natural landscape but cultivate the species that grow in the ecosystem (food forest).

I believe we are meant to be the gardeners of the planet. Improving available food in an ecosystem invites more living things. It is a positive feedback loop. If we focused on building closed loop ecosystems that also provide food and materials we could be a benefit to all life. Focusing on not changing the "wild" is a negative view. We are the expert species at forming our environment. We should shape it so it provides for us and the rest of the critters.
Depends on where you are in the ecosystem. If you're running your own service, the only flavors that matter and the ones you're using.

If all my machines are FreeBSD 4.11, I don't care if my scripts don't run on Linux or Solaris or SCO or even FreeBSD 4.8 or 14. I might care someday, but not today.

Maintenance scripts need to run on all the versions in the fleet (usually), but setup scripts can often be limited to the latest version, because why not use the latest OS if you're setting up a new machine.

If you're distributing software, yeah you've got to support a lot of variation. If you're at a shop that runs lots of different flavors, you have to support lots of variation. But a lot of people just pick a flavor and update the scripts as needed when the flavor of the day changes.

Trying to keep dependencies and running services as tight and small as possible helps a lot with keeping up to date on security. Don't need to update things that aren't installed, and may not need to update things that are installed but not running (but sometimes you do).
Neanderthal-derived DNA is playing a significant role in autism susceptibility
The younger generation has a weird relationship with the physical reality of sexuality, I expect because so much has been perfection-optimized in media portrayals of it, post-~2000.

If you go back and watch <= 90s movies and tv (PG-13!), it's amazing how pervasive and frank sexuality there is.^

In contrast to current mores that mandate sexy, but never actually talking about sex.

The deterioration of more honest discourse in mass media about realistic (read: fumbling, awkward, funny, vulnerable, spiritual) physical sexuality has left young folks ill prepared to enjoy that side of life.

^ Exhibit A: Hercules the Legendary Journeys (1994, produced by Sam Raimi!) S01E02, which would make most kids today cringe, despite just being scantily-clad depictions of consensual sexual desire and bawdy banter https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Tgz7burclcI
If you want the nostalgia of running the original updates for a couple hours or plugging in a new card for the first time that's definitely the best way to get it. If you just want to get the final version on a machine then installing from an already slipstreamed installer image like in the article is probably the way to go, significantly faster and doesn't require any bootstrapping of getting the install "good enough" to be able to run the updates in the first place.

It uses https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pcre-light , which seems to link with the system version. So it depends on what you install. With Nix, it will be part of your system expression, of course.
All things being equal having clean waterways is better than hsn dirty ones but this doesn't really seem like a priority. Plenty of cities just don't have the climate or geography to make this possible and plenty of people can't or don't swim. Arguably NYC is very swimmable since it's mostly on islands but the waterways are fairly rough and very wide and result it at least a few drownings every year.
It says "Anywhere in the US", so I assume it's Remote US only.
I went through the migration from CentOS 6 to 7 and never want to do anything like that again. The good news, I guess, is that it never will happen again: CentOS is basically dead anyway, and it's not likely that so many core pieces of system software will change that drastically anymore.

I've just doubled down on "making my own Debian packages".

There's tons of examples, you are learning a durable skill, and 90% of the time (for personal stuff), I had to ask myself: would I really ever deploy this on something that wasn't Debian?

Boom: debian-lts + my_package-0.3.20240913

...the package itself doesn't have to be "good" or "portable", just install it, do your junk, and you don't have to worry about any complexity coming from ansible or puppet or docker.

However: docker is also super nice! FROM debian:latest ; RUN dpkg -i my_package-*.deb

...it's nearly transparent management.
