"Two months after a prominent conservative activist and fundraiser was caught hosting white supremacist Nick Fuentes, leaders of the Republican Party of Texas have voted against barring the party from associating with known Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers."

To build their popular front on the right, Republicans are happy to recruit white nationalists.

"concept of a “right-wing popular front” is extremely clarifying. We can see how this popular front functioned in popularizing Holocaust denial. This subject is described in a superbly researched article, “The Pre-History of American Holocaust Denial,” by John P. Jackson Jr., which appeared in American Jewish History in 2021. "

> Please, don’t spend your late teens or early twenties in front of your computer at a startup. If you’re a young person, I think the very best thing you could do is get together with a group of friends and commit to a one year experiment in which the substantial part of your life will be focused on discovery and not be dedicated to wage work – however that looks for you. Get an instrument, learn three chords, and go on tour; find a derelict boat and cross an ocean; hitchhike to Alaska; build a fleet of dirigibles; construct a UAV that will engage with the emerging local police UAVs; whatever – but make it count.

ASN.1 BER/DER is more or less the same thing as CBOR. The perceived complexity of ASN.1 comes from the schema language and specifications written in the convoluted telco/ITU-T style (and well, the 80's type system that has ~8 times two different types for “human readable string”).
> For teams that don't have a good PM, you also need a tech champion.

That's part of the role of a Technical Program Manager. The Eng Manager, Product Manager, and TPM should form a holy trinity of mutual support, filling in for each other's gaps. When that happens, you get much better odd of having a high performing team.

Source: I've been both an engineering manager and a TPM. Never the PM, though.
Yes! More models coming soon, also scooters, mopeds, powertools!
A device may be required to not malfunction due to interference, but it can't be required to function in the presence of interference because that's a technical impossibility if the interference is strong enough to overpower the intended signal. That's why there are laws which say that if you use something like the Flipper as an RF jammer (which is possible with custom firmware) then angry feds might show up at your house.
> The largest factor in new housing construction is land cost, and withholding land from new construction largely as a financial asset.

This is incorrect. The largest factory in new single family housing construction is land cost. The largest factory in MFH is hard costs which account for 50-70% of costs compared to land at just 20% (see: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/making-apartments-more-af... Tokyo and Vienna have substantially reduced zoning restrictions for private and public, respectively.

I really don't know how you come to square the circle that "new construction [is] largely a financial asset" and "building more housing does not diminish the value of existing assets". The reality is MFH zoning is incredibly difficult in most urban zones; just look at the recent Manhattan-Harlem MFH project that was canned for a truck park due to the affordable housing crowd demanding too many concessions. Or SF. Or any number of cities that cannot effectively build housing because they really don't want housing enough to make changes to their zoning codes.

I’ve been making a survival-horror Playdate game called Plight of the Wizard[0]. You’re a wizard that fights off an endless horde of enemies by using the crank to rotate around and cast spells quickly. It’s my first game, and it’s been a lot of fun building out the mechanics.

i'm getting very argumentative on the internet today (under a pseudonymous account because as you might guess from my incessant posting, this issue is personal for me)

trauma (at any time), drug use, other experiences -- all can make schizophrenia more likely in those susceptible. absolutely true.

but it is a biological disease, and healing trauma won't stop its progression. as your source notes, the trauma causes differences in brain development, and once that's done its done.

i don't think coming up with a new drug, the main advantage of which is it doesn't numb you the horrible way existing antipychotics do, is a bad thing.

this is basically a drug that was only created to improve the QoL of people with schizophrenia. if society just wanted to numb them, we already have drugs for that and could just be much more aggressive in violently coercing treatment.

investing in these drugs isn't "looking away", it's putting in a huge investment of many billions of dollars to help the victims live better lives.
> If you really want to be fancy, you can deploy a script to watch files for changes and do rsync immediately when it happene.

I use a tool that does that, it's called Syncthing.
I think the arrow of causation goes both ways. Cities tend to be blue. Places with a lot of knowledge work or academia tend to be blue, have higher salaries, and thus have runaway housing costs due to the fact that America has chronically under built housing for over 30 years.

Still I don’t think that lets them totally off the hook since they obviously don’t care that much, otherwise they would advocate for better housing and zoning policies to make housing more affordable.

So I do think this issue points to a fundamental un-seriousness in the supposed commitment to equity.

The right is not necessarily better, e.g. blaming housing costs on immigration instead of underbuilding. But they are not the ones posturing as deeply concerned about equity.

Some red areas do accidentally have better housing policies because they tend to be pro development, but this isn’t because they care about the poor. It’s because they are okay with building and that has a side effect of controlling prices. Example: Texas.

Summary: both sides suck, but blue areas are also hypocrites.

> similar tangible harm caused by lack of regulation on data collection?

There’s a spike in teenager suicides, girls in particular. The phenomenon is well researched, it correlates with popularity of social media among teenagers. I believe that’s causation not just correlation, because social media didn’t became popular everywhere at once, they did gradually for different countries/languages, the teenager suicides spike follows.

Restricting data collection will fix that by dismantling the business model. Will be harder for tech companies to convert screen time into profits. Will even flip the motivation developing addictive apps: the more time users will spend there the more bandwidth they consume i.e. profits will turn into costs. Which is good for most people, except employees and stock owners of social media companies.

P.S. Personally, I prefer more radical approach: total ban of advertisements on the internets. Many cities did it for billboards, I don’t see why we shouldn’t do the same online.
Perhaps that can work, but I'm skeptical whenever the solution is "another manager".

I recently noticed how much Apple Maps has improved in recent years so I decided to throw together a little app using it. In addition, I set out with a goal of using tools, frameworks and a hosting provider I had little to no experience with. I learnt a ton and developed opinions across a few areas so I see it as a success.

I don’t expect to add much more to the app and I’ll probably kill it in a few months as it’ll likely cost me more to run it.

> Evolution created intelligence and consciousness

This is not provable, it an assumption. Religious people (which account for a large percent the population) claim intelligence and/or consciousness stem from a "spirit" which existed before birth and will continue to exist after death. Also unprovable, by the way.

I think your foundational assertion would have to be rephrased as "Assuming things like God/spirits don't exist, AGI must be possible because we are AGI agents" in order to be true

Lots of "suddenly the editor things everything is an error and nothing will autoimport or format" back to mostly working. Click to definition goes to the autogenerated code instead of the templ file.

I'm reminded of Pykrete:

> Pykrete is a frozen ice composite, originally made of approximately 14% sawdust or some other form of wood pulp (such as paper) and 86% ice by weight (6 to 1 by weight).

> Pykrete features unusual properties, including a relatively slow melting rate due to its low thermal conductivity, as well as a vastly improved strength and toughness compared to ordinary ice. These physical properties can make the material comparable to concrete, as long as the material is kept frozen.

> Since World War II, pykrete has remained a scientific curiosity, unexploited by research or construction of any significance.

>So it seems like the only thing such a bill would achieve is to incentivize AI research to avoid California.

Which, incidentally, would be pretty bad from a climate change perspective since many of the alternative locations for datacenters have a worse mix of renewables/nuclear to fossil fuels in their electricity generation. ~60% of VA's electricity is generated from burning fossil fuels (of which 1/12th is still coal) while natural gas makes up less than 40% of electricity generation in California, for example

Why should I be interested in any of what you're going on about?

My GMRS and Technician licenses issued on the same day not quite two months ago. I'm interested in immediate family communications, communicating with people in my area, and potentially calling for help from nearby strangers. I only decided to get the Amateur license because I realized the valley in western NC where we have a home does not have a GMRS repeater but there is an Amateur club running VHF/UHF, and figured I'd have better luck convincing them to add GMRS by joining their club than as an outsider.

A cheap Chinese UHF/VHF/GMRS HT with a knock-off NA-771 reaches as far as my family needs.

And FWIW, the top feed on Broadcastify the past few days is coming from a VHF repeater on Mount Mitchell (N2GE via W4HTP due to lack of Internet).

This feels like it might have unintended consequences. My mom lives in a neighborhood where lots of people have fruit trees and allow neighbors to take some because none of them could eat all of the fruit.

Somehow I doubt that organic cells (structures optimized for independent operation and reproduction, then adapted to work semi-cooperatively) resemble optimal compute fabric for cognition. By that same token I doubt that optimal compute fabric for cognition resembles GPUs or CPUs as we understand them today. I would expect whatever this efficient design is to be extremely unlikely to occur naturally, structurally, and involve some very exotic manufactured materials.

Of course, you "can". Implement message-based communication on top of streaming. Emulate blocking calls on top of non-blocking socket API.

I mean... It's a camera that was retailing for $6k without lenses. It's already a niche market, and a pretty conservative one.
Yes, the entire chip (wiring and transistors) is flexible. Which is something I find kind of amazing. Back in 2008 there was a company in the UK called 'Plastic Logic'[1] that was going to make an e-reader that could be rolled up. Back when organic LEDs were just starting to be possible and this stuff was living on a glass substrate, doing "all" of the circuits in long change hydrocarbons was a pretty revolutionary idea.

My original point was that dismissing the technology out of hand because you imagine you could solve the same problem with tiny ICs is probably premature. Dismissing any technology coming to market because you think it doesn't solve any problem is usually a bad idea because it takes non-zero effort and resources to bring anything to market. As a result, if you imagine what something is irrelevant because there are other proven solutions, then take that as a signal to say "Hmmm, what am I missing here?"

This doesn't really track though does it? The "first" microprocessor, the 4004 ran at 750kHz max. Most of the challenge here appears to be heat dissipation as plastic melts at a much lower temperature than silicon, but the chemistry is still interesting.

I completely agree that this isn't going to displace servers in the data center any time soon, but I can imagine applications for an all (or nearly all) plastic computer on a flexible plastic substrate.

I was surprised at the claim that intentionally giving someone AIDS would be decriminalized, so I looked it up. The AIDS bill you seem to refer to (SB 239) lowers penalties from a felony to a misdemeanor (so it is still a crime), bringing it in line with other sexually transmitted diseases. The argument is that we now have good enough treatment for HIV that there is no reason for the punishment to be harsher than for exposing someone to hepatitis or herpes, which I think is sound.
