YT incentives are not aligned with dense/high-signal content. If you have something interesting to say -- you have to stretch it to a certain length (I think the sweet spot is 10mins?) in a desperate attempt to manipulate the recommendation engine, you then spend a few breaths begging the audience to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell; maybe even join the patreon which gives you access to the private discord channel -- then a quick word from our sponsor -- then maybe you blab a few sentences which would fit onto a 1kb notepad file.

That sentence doesn't "directly" call out Israel specifically for any attacks against civilians in Lebanon. It just calls out attacks against civilians in Lebanon - which yes, would include attacks by Israel, but would also include attacks by Lebanese militant groups, including Hezbollah (i.e. in the course of the various internal conflicts there).

It would also implicitly apply to attacks wherein civilians were actually the target; expecting military operations to have zero civilian collateral casualties is unrealistic. This exploding pager/radio attack seems to have been targeted at militants specifically, not civilians.
It is very typical to file bugs against even the first beta and not see them fixed before GM, or even ever.

And it's stunning that resistance to the valent powers about fucking with us is a felony offense, that anti-circumvention is one of the most punishable & swiftest things one can do to get hosed by the state.

It's just so fucked. The state should defend the people & their rights, their sovereignty. But in the digital age specifically, those with software get to set whatever Terms of Use they want, & redefine the Terms ongoingly as they please, and no one has any right against the ever extending technocratic overreach.

Mark Lemley talked about property rights that the world used to have being - my words - nuked off the face of the planet - by the vicious hordes of lawyers using contract law to write their own Terms of Use, saying whatever they please. It's a brutal world, an infernal system, a hell that governments have been coopted into entrenching and enforcing against the humans of the planet, and this spiritual repression desperately needs some counter battles that can restore the dignity capabilities respectability & tool-makership of the homo sapiens. Without the ability to reconsider thought, we no longer remain sapiens, and that's what's this infernal pact against humanity between business and government begets. (Thrown down those which would cast us down so.)

I've seen strings for selecting a WiFi network in an SSID list :) I'm guessing for OTA updates when the car is at home or there is another use that involves your phone's hotspot.

A phone is just a computer. Why should they not be allowed to sell a computer that is locked down? There are lots of other computers for sale, some of which are locked down some of which are not. There’s nothing inherently or obviously anti-competitive about selling a computer that has lots of guardrails, and, in fact, that’s how they have distinguished their product from others.

Thank you for the context. My reasons for thinking it was credible have nothing to do with "math I didn't understand."

I actually think the larger problem is how it spread via travelers and that some of the actions taken nominally for purposes of controlling the spread actually made things worse. People were herded together in airports to be checked or some nonsense.

We may never know the origin story and I still don't know what to suggest in practical terms for preventing something similar from happening again, but I do think it needs to be addressed someplace other than "wear face masks and use hand sanitizer" while otherwise doing the same stuff that helped spread the virus around the globe.

Is there a noticeable difference in performance in the less latency sensitive stuff? (e.g. lower fps in the games)
D3D is clearly more integrated into the OS than Vulkan is.

Most importantly, Windows includes a software D3D renderer (WARP) so apps can depend on it always being present (even if the performance isn’t spectacular). There are lots of situations where Vulkan isn’t present on Windows, for example a Remote Desktop/terminal server session, or machines with old/low-end video cards.
These might not be important for AAA games, but for normal applications they are.

Another example: Windows doesn’t include the Vulkan loader (vulkan-1.dll), apps need to bundle/install that.
It's not a bad idea to pair that with lawsuits related to such warranties.

Costco and Samsung are big enough that you can achieve reasonable signal.

When your local car dealer offers you a full drivetrain warranty though (assuming it's a full warranty and not one of the other ways people are often fleeced), will they honor it when the lemon they sold you breaks the first time? the 2nd? the 3rd? Will they, instead, note that most people buying that car don't have much money (or, if you used any form of dealer financing, know for a fact you don't have much money) and require you to retain a lawyer and sue them to recover any damages?

From the Build Systems à la Carte paper:

Topological. The topological scheduler pre-computes a linear order of tasks, which when
followed, ensures the build result is correct regardless of the initial store. Given a task description
and the output key, you can compute the linear order by first finding the (acyclic) graph of the
key’s reachable dependencies, and then computing a topological sort. However this rules out dynamic dependencies.

Restarting. To handle dynamic dependencies we can use the following approach: build
tasks in an arbitrary initial order, discovering their dependencies on the fly; whenever a task
calls fetch on an out-of-date key dep, abort the task, and switch to building the dependency dep;
eventually the previously aborted task is restarted and makes further progress thanks to dep now
being up to date. This approach requires a way to abort tasks that have failed due to out-of-date
dependencies. It is also not minimal in the sense that a task may start, do some meaningful work,
and then abort.

Suspending. An alternative approach, utilised by the busy build system and Shake,
is to simply build dependencies when they are requested, suspending the currently running task.
By combining that with tracking the keys that have already been built, one can obtain a minimal
build system with dynamic dependencies. This approach requires that a task may be started and then suspended until another task is complete. Suspending can be done with cheap green threads and blocking (the original approach
of Shake) or using continuation-passing style (what Shake currently does).

I'm so sorry that this war has inconvenienced you.

I've had friends and coworkers murdered, kidnapped, and at least two that I know of had their children burned to death. My older daughter's friend was murdered along with both his brothers and both his parents - there was nobody left alive so this child didn't even have the traditional prayer said at his funeral. My younger son's camp counselor was kidnapped and later his body was retrieved. Shall I go on? Or would you believe me that this war has far worse inconvenienced us and we're doing what we can to end it as quickly as possible - including maiming 3000 enemy fighters in an attack so targeted that a single civilian child died among over a dozen dead militants and 3000 injured militants.

I doubt the PCBs weigh too much. There's also a variance in battery weights. Testing it real quick my Li-ion AAAs weight 9g, NiCd 10g, and Alkaline 12g. There's also some Li-ions with built-in USB recharging circuits that I don't know how they effect the weight.

So better make sure they remove the batteries too. And who knows about the variances in internals they've done to the TI-84 in its 20 years of production.
Keep in mind two things:

1. The number of applications reported by LinkedIn is often wrong. If the "apply" link goes to the company's own HR/application page, then every time that link is clicked, LinkedIn counts it as an application. The number LI reports can far exceed the number of actual applications.

2. Many applicants are often wholly unqualified. We're talking entry-level people applying for senior+ level positions or even people with zero tech skills/experience applying for tech jobs.

So if LI says 100 people have applied, likely your competition is closer to 10-20.

Ignore anybody who says the only way to get a job is through networking with people you already know. Only 1 of the 4 tech jobs I've had were via someone I knew, and even that 1 was an internal transfer inside the company.

And even my current job was gotten through LinkedIn's Easy Apply, so ignore anybody who says that's worthless.

Seems like a lot of trademark infringement suits about to come their way. Am I mistaken or is there no way this viable? In addition, nobody has any legal right to put others trademarks (use these) on anything without the trademark owners permission. So even if the site and distribution is somehow OK, nobody can really use them anyway. Right?
How would a computer with an expanded address scheme communicate with another device with an unexpanded IPV4 address? How would that client get its response back?

How would a router know what to do with it without updating its software?

At the end of the day, you are talking about using a different than IPV4 address scheme and using a different protocol than IPV4. Everything in the stack will need to be updated. Every hop on the route, every single piece of software that will interact with the network address. Backwards compatibility still requires everything but the older device to be updated.
It's very different from the others. Ideally you 0 shot it and give it complete instructions. Not part of a task, but basically a full commit, if not a full PR.

It does worse than sonnet 3.5 on simple instructions.

Ideally, you use o1 to give you instructions. It's a very powerful brainstorming tool as it can actually handle the context and isn't just context tokens. Pass it that doc from upwork and just do what o1 tells you. It may still get some steps wrong, but the human in the loop role has been reversed. It's still pair programming or brainstorming or something, but now o1 is the senior dev guiding your hand.

Write proper docs as if you were explaining something to a human. Or a deck to an investor. Pass it to o1 without edits. Writing docs really sucks, but do it without the aid or interference of AI.
Not at all. Firstly, just from a legal standpoint, the AUPs aren't signed by us; they're signed by the customer and as long as they understand what they're doing through us ensuring we get informed consent, then its their responsibility and judgement on whether they want to break the rules.

On to the ethics of it, again I find it pretty hard to side with ISPs here since the only reason they don't want this activity on their network is because they don't want the additional bandwidth flowing through their fiber and personally, I believe if you buy a 100mb or a 1G internet line from a carrier then it should be yours to use as you wish as long as it remains within the law. This is compounded by the fact that carriers themselves seem to have a tendency to disregard user / privacy agreements and have been happy to sell metadata and location information to any data brokers without ever checking with their customers whether its okay or not.

This is obviously the opinion of someone who has a stake in the game but when it comes to web-scraping, VPN usage, proxies and internet usage in general I tend to find myself believing in a free and open web with any blocks, restrictions or censorship usually being a bad thing.
Months ago I got crypto ads through a similar approach, some fake new account @-ing hundreds of users in an issue and then the issue is removed. The net effect is that the ads become unblockable in your email box (It's from GitHub!).

Maybe devs' target value in general has growing to a point where the openness of the system is more of a vulnerability than service.
A very common and pro-consumer use for residential proxies is price scraping and price comparisons.

Most businesses don't want to compete on price and are extremely unhappy if you tell people that their competition sells the same stuff but for less, that their "best deal of the month" is actually a price raise, or that they significantly raise toilet paper prices every time there's a natural disaster.

I'm not talking about repricing specifically? I'm talking about how differently the housing market would behave if there was enough housing to go around.

Landlords have a 3rd option: They can sell the unit, because their unit no longer commands high prices due to housing supply meeting demand, and their capital is best used elsewhere.

If they are underwater and cannot sell above break-even, their bank will eventually do it for them.
My only encounter with this is, that I am annoyed if I open web dev tools on a new browser profile/guest profile, but am interrupted in my workflow because first I have to type "allow pasting" every single time. (Why I do this quite often? To be sure to have a clean state when debugging a web app)
And all this, because some people cannot think, before they follow obscure instructions send to them by a untrusted party?

Why can't we have nice things again?
Because of abusers yes, but also because of sheep people.
Well, it's good to have that alternative when your modern emergency broadcast app refuses to work because your year-old phone is no longer supported by the vendor, and fails the remote device attestation check needed by the ad platform that's used to monetize the app. Not that having a newer phone would do you any good, as the app login servers on the other side of the planet are no longer reachable.

Seriously though, AM radio is a very good compromise: it has the best set of features for emergency use, and none of the commercial lock-in and ad cancer bullshit that's consuming modern technology.
Agree. A general thesis I have is that the API-ification of the web fragmented business information, and with every new SaaS tool we fragment our company's data further. The trend at all company sizes is to be increasingly analytical, but for SMBs it's too hard to get access to your data (mainly due to technical limitations). So it makes sense to centralize data somewhere, and we think that somewhere is inside the data tool that everyone actually uses: the spreadsheet.

Many other advantages of this data centralization too. Data + spreadsheets + compute is a nice application base for agents.

Co-ops that are involved in building apartments? They're so few they're irrelevant. It still needs the members to put in a fair amount of money - likely a lot more than the average renter can afford. And it requires "decent" members.

Try being a landlord for the "median" renter, and you'll see how many irresponsible people are out there. A lot of below median folks have zero interest in maintaining their place - even if they own it. They'd make for very poor co-op members.

Do you have a source for that number of civilian injuries? Everything I can find (incl. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz04m913m49o) gives every indication that Hezbollah members were the target, that these pagers and radios were primarily/exclusively issued to Hezbollah members, and that the civilians killed/injured were those in close proximity to said Hezbollah members.
This is mindblowing. It's like the missing piece of blockchain that was needed for dev adoption. I can see it also being used for modern bank/payments apps including those in games and other simulated economies.

And have they been shut down? Blocking access to a service through the regular channels doesn't shut it down.

For instance before the internet a Saudi dissident based in the UK used to send faxes to phones in Saudi Arabia that were critical of the Govt. I don't think the Saudi govt blocked access to phone calls from the UK on account of that.

If Brazilian enterprises are not allowed by law to trade with Twitter that does not amount to shutting it down. All you've done is block the usage of a service by most law abiding citizens which many of them probably rely on for all or a part of their living.

Twitter is operating under US law and Brazilian law only applies to their Brazilian subsidiary. If their Brazilian subsidiary has been has closed down because their parent company is not complying with Brazilian law then Brazilians are free to deal directly with the parent company under US law and jurisdiction.
