Thirdly: Yep, that quote is fake too. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/10/22/world-end/

Can't find any sources on that fourth one, but I suggest that the British Medical Journal might want to update their article.

You have two paths for a paid youtube competitor:
____

1- Bulk Purchase, like Nebula (Sam from Wendover and other fellow youtubers); One subscription buys you access to ALL the channels in the network.

Pros:

* Single payment for users

* gets better as more creators join

* usually discounted if you consider per-channel cost

Cons:

* requires trust between the creators

* can cause clash between creators on division of funds

* requires a certain minimum output to maintain basic service

* one cancelled creator can sink the service

____

2-Per-channel subscription, like Floatplane (Made by Linus from the LinusTechTips channel); You have to pay seperately for each channel you want to get access to.

Pros:

* Can be cheaper if you only want access to a couple of specific creators

* creators are not dependent on each other to maintain the service

* you are seperate from other creator drama somewhat

Cons:

* Can become costly quickly if you want to subscribe to multiple creators

* not that competitive with youtube premium

* can cause comparison strife between creators for difference in subscription fee

* can't take advantage of the synergist effect.

_____

Basically Nebula has the advantage of having many high profile creators, and if you have a smaller following, you can take advantage of the rising tide and get a boost from them by joining the service.

Also, Nebula seems to have ~ 50-ish creators from some pretty diverse set of topics, so it's not pigeonholed as Floatplane.

Buuuuut...it's unsustainable I feel. As the number of creators increase, the disparity of what each creator brings and what they are owed will be unteneble.

--

Floatplane, OTOH, has half the number of channels as Nebula, and they are mostly tech friends of Linus, so it's not only pigeonholed, but overshadowed by the anchor store that is LTT.

By having seperate silos, you are unlikely to catch the wake of a rising ship to boost yourself.

However, I feel that by cutting money out of the equation (Floatplane gets a fixed cut, rest, you earn of your own merits) it is in theory more sustainable; you have your own silo, and if one is sinking, you are not concerned.

Also, there is a gun channel on the website, and they are there because they are tired of the censorship from Youtube. Being free from drama is a plus...don't subcribe if you don't want to watch!

but not that free; they are still bound to the whims of payment processors, so if VISA/MASTERCARD/Whatever block them, they are SoL.

They are not Only Fans level of free.

___

TBH, it's a pain to get people to pay, the friction is just too high. Nebula makes it easier than Floatplane, on the onset, even if it's not the best choice. But since when have people used logic where money is concerned?
> Nowadays pornhub and onlyfans are flooded by wannabee independent performers. Even the most addicted to porn can't possibly follow and keep track of more than a tiny subset of performers. So there is a good chance you can still have a career alongside it or switch from OF to a non sex related career easily.

Your model of "social ramifications" seems to assume no one ever talks to anyone else, which is dead wrong. So to see problems, the only thing that needs to happen is one person needs to see their porn out of maybe the 1000 people who could recognize the performer IRL, then a rumor starts and a significant fraction of the 1000 (and more people besides) find out. No fame required.

Then the problem can balloon if another person out of that 1000 is angry with the performer, and decides to dox them by creating a website or posting that explicitly outs them to anyone who searches their name on Google.

Then, on top of that, there's all the facial recognition tech that's floating around, which is basically a "go strait to jail, to not pass go" thing.
Because C++ is big and old and everyone wants it to be something different. Functional programmers want it to be more functional, OOP developers want more object oriented, etc. And the syntax must look familiar. And everything must be backwards-compatible and all older legacy code needs to work fine. And it must have next-to-no runtime cost. Etc.

Making any changes to C++ is a slow process - as it is for any older and larger language.

Plus...I think memory safety is a pretty low priority area for C++, frankly. It's harder to shoehorn in at this point, C++ has never prioritized it over raw performance or flexibility.
Yeah ristretto it's not. But I do like some liquid and not too much caffeine.

The absence of a defined criteria does not imply an ideal criteria does not exist. The ideal is somewhere between the two extremes, ants, wasps, etc. taking over the entire planet and ants vs ants/wasps becoming extinct. Through reason, analysis, etc. we can get closer to defining a more measurable criteria.
In this day and age it won't matter much.

You can hire anyone and have them target of allegations from colleagues. Them having a higher social status won't really help, we're post #metoo and there has been way too many cases of well regarded people being predatory. Whether the employee had some arguable past jobs, you'll have to do due diligence and get to the bottom of it either way.

Sage/Breville Dual Boiler and do the slayer mod + drip tray mod, you can then pull espresso that rivals any machine out there for a fraction of the cost. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmQgxQ5Higw

The machine is old enough to be well understood with documented mods and fixes, it's dual boiler, triple PID, extreme temp stability, fill from the front, drip tray indicator. I love it.

The Socrates quote is certainly fake. Are the other quotes from the same source?
I wish they made computers that ran software like games again. Seems like the last few iterations they’ve been working hard on making computers that are able to run ai models a little faster. Are people really asking for that? I would think far more people would like to play a video game over rolling their own matrix multiplication, but I guess that’s why they pay the people at apple the big bucks because they must know best.

So like, movies are more para social because they have less interaction?
I've seen the same thing. Massive infrastructure for a site that could run on a small VM. More time was spent configuring infrastructure, Terraform, debugging IAM roles than building the actual code...
It could just be programmed to follow up by querying itself with a prompt like "Come up with arguments that refute what you just wrote; if they seem compelling, try a different line of reasoning, otherwise continue with what you were doing." Different such self-administered prompts along the way could guide it through what seems like reasoning, but would really be just a facsimile thereof.

Yes the pods can also be much bigger on the Vertuo. It's much more optimised for bigger coffees a la starbucks. Not for espresso.

But the main point of it is that they were able to create new patents and milk them for their duration.
Good point. It would have to include contractor pay in the calculation.
> On the other side, a lot of it wasn't sustainable. Just how many forums just vanished all of a sudden as the owner died, ran out of money or was simply fed up moderating bullshit and infights, not to mention the ever increasing compliance workload/risk (yeeting spam, warez and especially CSAM)?

But also lots of commercial social media sites and forums disappeared, because the company got bust or changed its focus.
Really what happens is your application is given a higher priority level and dedicated reviewers. They're still going through the full review process, its just they're focusing on your submission.
LOL we have 2 full time people managing the production monitoring stack. And it costs money. And it generates a lot of internal traffic. Nope!

Personally, every time I decide "I'm going to check out this streamer's live stream" I always end up joining at some point where they're getting set up, they're taking a break, they're reading chat, they're eating soup... I've never actually tuned into a livestream I'm actually interested in.

Meanwhile, RTGame was one of the first gaming content creators I ever subscribed to, and all of his content is his twitch livestreams edited down to actually interesting clips or sections.

A better justification is, "prove that it's actually harmful using sources other than your gut", and "suggest a method for controlling it that doesn't almost immediately devolve into puritan witch-hunting, racism, and/or misogyny."
There is an insane amount of “bootlicking” being posted here. I’d say it’s astroturfing but really it’s likely decades of brainwashing. Time to go watch some Amazon union busting videos in my right to work state.

Wow, the air sure is getting thinner for Viasat!

Hawaiian Airlines is already on Starlink; most other US carriers are Viasat based at this point, which still doesn't have coverage over the Pacific (due to the deployment failure of Viasat-3 F1) and are probably getting annoyed at this point. (Word is that Viasat is trying to salvage 10% of the capacity of 3F1 [1] and ultimately move it elsewhere.)

I bet nobody will be really unhappy about the significantly lower latency either...

The only thing that the incumbents seem to have going for them at this point is being available as an Airbus line fit as part of HBCplus – once Starlink is an option there, things are going to get interesting.

What kind of lift is there in just becoming a publisher from scratch?

I'm trying to imagine what their role is ... if you can just "be a publisher" or if you need a lot of cash up front or what.
This seems like a rather poor theory for improving memory retention.

The brain indeed can not store everything, but it does not naively pick the most important things to remember and discards the rest. Your brain has evolved various compression heuristics for different types of information that are exceptionally efficient. Good learning takes advantage of these heuristics.

The narrative structure of stories is very much in line with how the brain optimally stores information (which is why we tell stories in the first place), so it is very easy to remember the gist of stories. Even if you forget specific details, you can likely recover them by recalling other elements of the story, like B had to happen before C because it wouldn't make sense the other way around. If you are watching television, you are almost certainly watching something with such a narrative structure, and you enjoy it because it is congruent with your thought processing.

Conversely, so much of schooling focuses on remembering distinct facts - when did this battle occur, what was the name of the protagonist's brother, what is the molar mass of oxygen, what is the integral of dx/x, etc. The brain is not well suited to learning such isolated facts, but it's rare that they are presented in a way that is more easily stored.

There are some cases, especially at younger ages, where it's standard to teach certain things in a more compressible way. We learn mnemonic devices like Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally or Roy G Biv. Perhaps the best example is putting the alphabet to music, using our brain's exceptional music compression heuristic to memorize a 26 character string. As we get older and we approach more advanced topics these methods tend to fall by the wayside despite the fact that they are just as effective on adults - a catchy jingle in advertising uses exactly the same mechanism.

I think a restructuring of education to focus on a holistic learning process where information is presented in a wider, narrative context, with less of a focus on discrete facts than larger patterns, and carefully constructed mnemonic tools for specific data that is need to know would be the best approach.
Counterpoint: it's not OK to skip the math with cryptography. You may not need to power through all of Silverman's curve book (though: I don't know for sure that's true, which is why I don't call myself a cryptography engineer), but you have to get as deep into the math as you can in order to safely use cryptographic algorithms.

If you're math-avoidant, stick with high-level abstractions like NaCL and TLS. There's nothing wrong with that!

A professor talking about and demonstrating cryptography at the level of individual algorithms is doing their class a disservice if they say "none of the math will be on the test". The algorithms are enough to put something together that seems like it works; the math is what you need to find out if your resulting system actually does work. It's where many of the fun bug classes live.
That's the thing, everyone can be right here. You don't want to regularly yell "fascist, racist, pimp, rapist" or the power of those words disappears. At the same time, if you refuse to use the words when they apply, then their power is irrelevant. Stability breeds complacency, complacency breeds contempt, contempt breeds instability.

The Kids perceptions and mores change every generation (both in some multidimensional average and in their dispersion) based in response to their elder's beliefs and their material conditions. Those changes could be destructive or not, but the idea that "there is no truth" or we've reached "the end of history" mark a more dangerous part of the cycle.
I’m certainly misunderstanding why so many people in this thread insist on speaking authoritatively on a topic they clearly know very little about.

> Secondly, I’d like to question: if C has bitfields, then why do seemingly all modern C APIs not use?

Because an unsigned integer containing many flags is convenient for setting/toggling/clearing multiple options at once. At least in C doing that with bit fields is a pain.
I don't have a problem with people choosing to drink instant "coffee", but there's such a clear difference that and actual coffee, no matter the preparation method.

I'd agree that getting better quality espressos can get expensive very quickly, and moka pots make very nice coffee for the price (definitely diminishing returns for high end equipment).

To me, the best bang for your buck comes with grinding beans to order, as that means that your coffee isn't oxidising so much before you even brew it. Personally, I'm a fan of immersion brewing techniques, so an Aeropress is my weapon of choice - it's relatively cheap and can make outstanding coffee (also highly portable - I take it along with a hand grinder when camping).

And sorry, but I do find Nespresso to taste very flat and stale the few times that I've tried it. I'd rather just have a good cup of tea than a stale cup of coffee.

>The in-memory representation of bit fields is implementation-defined. Therefore, if you’re calling into an external API that takes a uint32_t like in the example without an explicit remapping, you may or may not like the results.

>In practice, everything you’re likely to come across will be little endian nowadays, and the ABI you’re using will most likely order your struct from top to bottom in memory, so they will look the same most of the time.

Actually that's not true anymore, PD Revision 3.1 has an adjustable voltage supply mode that can do any intermediate voltage between 15-48v, with a maximum power of 240W: https://www.usb.org/usb-charger-pd

Except it's not anywhere near as complex because you need to manage far far less using the AWS services than if you ran all of your own inside a k8s cluster.

Some historians say that the main cause for the Fall of Rome is rising inequality. Initially, society was mainly based on small farmers/warriors, doing war close to their home.

But as Rome grew, wars tended to get farther and farther from home, so farmers could no longer tend to their farms, and also large influx of slaves made them noncompetitive against large slave-owners. So they had to sell their farms to those large owners, exacerbating the problem even more.

I honestly don't know any single revolution that happened for any reason other than inequality.

Probably not - but by calling out EC2 instances as the way and then failing to mention patching or configuration management, this article loses some credibility for me. These considerations are not optional over any significant length of time, and will cause misery if not planned for.

Bare minimum, script out the install of your product on a fresh EC2 instance from a stock (and up-to-date) base image, and use that for every new deploy.
Having lived in both areas, overall I find it easier to drive in Austin (even the trickiest parts) than in SF.

However, in my experience, Austin roads are uniquely bad in one respect: surprisingly often, lane markings are so faded you cannot tell where your lane is. It's even worse when it rains.

Sometimes it is so bad that I know neither I nor anyone else can tell where their lane is, and I make a conscious decision to drive differently to compensate for that. I don't know if autonomous vehicles are going to deal with that very well.

I agree. My example for something “AI” should be able to do is to create a CAD model for the Empire State Building or the Parthenon based on known facts and photos.

A thermal fuse isn't for overpressure control, it's intended to trip before a physical overpressure control vents superheated steam. Both provide failover redundancy independent of operational heater controls.

There isn't enough detail of the boiler to tell if there's an overpressure relief valve. The boiler can't be made safe without one. If they're cheap enough to be standard in cheap knockoff moka pots one should be here...

This machine's wiring diagram shows an unlabelled shape wired in series with what might possibly be the heating element and a shape with "ssr" in its label. Which places the first unlabelled shape in the right place to be a thermal fuse or switch. If they're cheap enough to be standard in Mr Coffee machines one should be here...

Safety discussion in this project is conspicuously absent. Knowledgable users shouldn't be making assumptions like this about safety features. Assumptions and safety aren't compatible. Average users should be informed in detail about the safety features they're tasked with assembling.
No, that must have been something different.

It would be possible to extend what FlowTracker does to also find SQL (or other) injection vulnerabilities. So it's possible the tool you're thinking of used a similar approach.

My experience, although 20ish years ago now, was that France was very accommodating to people who were trying to make an effort to speak French, however badly, and would help correct pronunciations and other little errors, whereas their patience for foreigners who thought that the locals English would get better if they just spoke more loudly and slowly was thin.
