This[0] is the Wikipedia article that ANI has beef with. The claims of propaganda are all supported by ample secondary sources from Indian news organizations like Caravan Magazine and the Ken.

ANI wants Wikipedia to provide the names of the editors that added the details to the article. Once Wikipedia reveals those names, ANI will presumably sue them for defamation and force them to remove their contributions. While the edit history will remain, few are likely to read it.

Suing the editors and forcing them to retract their edits on Wikipedia will have a chilling effect on anyone Indian that tries to point out what ANI and similar organizations are doing. But if Wikipedia blocks India and the issue blows up in the media, ANI will be forced to back off and the article will stay up. Wikipedia then unblocks India. Is it a given that things are going to pan out this way? No, but it's quite likely.

Forth is known for extremely compact representation of code, and very portable, because standard have very few registers and work on stack machine.
Unfortunately all these at cost of slow execution and not easy to make serious projects (hard to deal with large codebase chaos, but read more).

So it definitely, platform for slow embedded applications, keyword Arduino, may be Raspberry.

Sure, compactness is huge advantage in some other cases, for example, known boot loader shell for UEFI is written on Forth, so you could write applications for it (and yes, for this use case any modern motherboard except Apple).

For large codebase works, some Forth people learn Scheme and technically switched to Lisp programming paradigm. Yes, it interest phenomena, Lisp techniques work with Forth good enough if developer disciplined enough. Sure, Lisp will open for you whole new world.

OSI readies controversial open-source AI definition (26.10.2024)

My takeaway from that experience is that nutrition is the best way to prevent disease/pests. once there’s a problem it’s probably too late.
For the PNW, "really hot" has recently meant more days than usual in the 90s, and a week or two at, like, 100 or 105.
Anything even slightly controversial across political lines cannot be trusted. Math and technical topics that don't address any drama or controversy are usually fine for reference, but there are almost always better resources if you're trying to learn about a topic from scratch.
Would you believe me if I said 65%?
Thanks for the reply! That's a good list. Of those, I would break them down accordingly:

- Cool new features
- Encrypted direct messages
- Video streaming
- Ability to edit posts
- Communities (IDK what this but it sounds cool)
- Bookmarks
- Cashtag feature (?)
- Improved analytics for content creators

- Trivial decisions about policy
- Long-form content
- Bold and italic text formatting

- Untrue, or at least unverified
- Better verification system (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/the-confusion-and-risks-surrounding-twitters-verified-account-changes, https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/24/tech/musk-twitter-blue-check-mark/index.html)
- Open-sourced algorithm (https://www.wired.com/story/twitters-open-source-algorithm-is-a-red-herring/)
- Premium features (?)
- Improved search (?)

- Same shit different day
- Grok

Which, tbf, is a lot more cool features than I was giving them credit for! I still think the whole 'nazi' and 'arbitrary moderation' thing outweighs those changes by a lot, but they did add stuff.
I feel like I am the exact kind of person who should enjoy reading the ruminations of a private capital manager published on the FT, but like others I am really struggling to find any interesting or meaningful point in this. The points discussed in this article aren't even finance 101, they are somewhat more basic than that. I can only assume it is an advertisement for Oaktree, but even then, given their target audience of sophisticated investors I don't know who they expect to impress with this.
I'd like to commend you on building something and putting it out in there in the world, keep doing that! Also the idea of running commands and code from Markdown is obviously awesome. I think you'll find that the folks you get to use this will want a ton more features, like project wide config, interactive stdin, .ENV tooling, passing of variables between inputs and a lot more. That's why we built runme.dev, the kernel is built in Go, please come join our community and contribute.
Article commenter points out that Meta is a funder of the OSI. We'll see if that affects how the OSI defines "open" AI models.

I find it funny how OpenAI was only indirectly mentioned. Still, I'm glad that this columnist is taking a principled stance by arguing aginst one of the more borderline cases.

The browser behavior is really nice, good to know that it falls back quickly and smoothly. Round robin DNS has always been referred to as a "poor mans load balancer" which it seems to be living up to.

> Curl also works correctly. First time it might not, but if you run the command twice, it always corrects to the nearest server.

This took two tries for me, which begs the question how curl is keeping track of RTT (round trip times), interesting.

Makes sense to me. I have some code that uses a lot of mullo, so I get to pay twice the latency compared to if I wanted full multiplies...
We accomplish this on Route53 by having it pull servers out of the dns response if they are not healthy, and serving all responses with a very low ttl. A few clients out there ignore ttl but it’s pretty rare.
If you are any of those things, it doesn't hurt to warn others! hth
True ! that's why I said medium sized car. :)
And I don't use it for commuting to work or go to groceries. So what's remaining needs a car with descent size and range for 2 persons.
Best alternative for me would be that a fair car sharing/rental system develop even more so I can ditch my car and only rent the car size I need for the trip.

Have people in the US proposed such a cap to prevent corporations from buying elections, or is that too foreign of a concept ?
> Everything could be better.

There is no rationale contained in the proposal for why this would make anything better, or even if it did, why it would be a more desirable approach than any other proposal that does not involve fantasy engineering.
I find that quite satisfying. At least someone is getting something tangible out of the screaming and shouting, and best of all, it’s something straightforward. Money.

> It works. This strategy actually works

It works because, in any context, people are easily persuaded that something that they want to believe is true. Willingly or not, people are often looking for excuses to believe something, not evidence to help determine whether it is true. (Of course, you and I are included in this; believing oneself immune to propaganda is just a way of being more vulnerable to the kind of propaganda targeted at people who pride themselves on this supposed immunity.)
The tape delay methaphor confused me. Tape recorders do not record DC or other frequencies much lower than, say, 20 Hz. So that circuit would run into one of the rails just as quickly as the previous cirquit without DC feedback.
legal action does not show reality, people can sue for nearly no reason at all, and people have large political and PR reasons to sue Trump for posturing reasons. we have very little idea what trump's track record is for making deals because the vast majority of it isn't public. to base your entire opinion of him based on tabloids and biased corporate news and pretend that literally nothing ever happens that isn't public is not going to give you a realistic picture. i am sure there are also dozens of high profile examples of deals that were public and went just fine.

I agree completely! We've always talked about this, but we haven't really seen a clear way to package it into a good developer UX. We've got some ideas, though, so maybe one day we'll take a stab at it. For now we've been more focused on integrations and just building out the platform.
The issue is that Microsoft does active business with Israel. It's not just completely non sequitur.

When they show an advertisement of, say, some asian company to a russian user, they are still making money, aren't they?
Maybe, but it's not "blacklisted" per se. You can go to the URL and do whatever.

It's not getting SEO blessings, true, but it's not disappeared.

This is the bit that seems poorly substantiated and unlikely. Please elaborate. Anything evidence you can cite would be helpful.

This really interesting, but I think they have an odd idea of transparency.

I searched for some ads for a congressional race in 2018, obviously inactive, and they were all there, but I couldn't view them because: "This content was removed because the disclaimer didn’t follow our policy for ads about social issues, elections or politics."

For what conceivable reason would they block historical ads, ads that actually ran in the past but are no longer active? Those ads probably didn't meet the disclaimer rules because the rules were different back in 2018.
Yes, but they are on some blacklist somewhere. One could say greylisted. The point is the whatever term describes the issue shouldn't be mystical.

Haunted implies a supernatural condition that just isn't helpful in system administration.

If something isn't working with a service there is always a method to troubleshoot and isolate the issue. Contact the appropriate people when needed.

> Could we actually do all of this? Probably not.

It's the opposite. We could, probably, do all of this, given colossal will, stupefying investment, and an infinite appetite for destruction. The trick here is to exercise the wisdom to know that we should not do this, despite there being, strictly speaking, no technical reason why we could not. It's like an intrusive thought writ large: just because you have the opportunity to jump off the lip of the Grand Canyon and plunge to your death, does not mean that you should.

You go into debt and then you pay it off. Or you default on your debt, and the creditor makes off with whatever asset you used as collateral.

I'm not trying to do away with the concepts entirely, just trying to place limits on them so that a larger portion of our economy is people having business ideas which relate to the real world and acting on them and a relatively small portion of it is people playing money games. What we're doing now is dangerously lopsided: why innovate or build anything or tackle hard problems when you can do better by playing money games or supporting those that do?
This is an ad. It starts as an insight to be applied generally and quickly devolves into “my paid tool does this thing I’m arguing is the best thing to do”.
Money isn't the only thing people can use to invest. They can also invest their time, such as spending time learning a valuable job skill.

Microsoft was founded with $5000. Allen and Gates saw opportunity that nobody else did. They took a large risk in abandoning their Harvard degree program to focus on Microsoft.

Steve Jobs famously sold his Volkswagen for $1500 to found Apple.

Jobs took an enormous risk in investing in the iPhone prototype. He bet the company on it. What would our society be like today if people were not willing to make enormous risks?

Boeing bet the company on the 707, and then again on the 747. There was no guarantee of success with either of those bets.

Edison bet everything on his electric power company, which became General Electric.

Where would we be if people were satisfied with making a modest living?

Being honest with yourself about your motivations is huge. If I had to give advice on the art of conversation, whether online or off, it would be these points:

- Be honest with yourself about your motivation: while you may be saying X, are you really implying Y?

- Always take the high ground; don't escalate someone else's negativity

- Be kind, even when being snarky

- Give others the benefit of the doubt when they're saying something that could be interpreted either positively or negatively

> 4. agricultural land shrinks every year. EVERY year. new farms are harder and harder to start & we really cannot afford to dip our food supply

of course we can.

for corn, circa 40% is used to feed livestock and 35% for ethanol production. there is very little human consumption.

for wheat, in the US and Europe, only around 35% is used to feed humans.

we really should do much more regenerative agriculture so people eat better food down the chain.

It is very difficult to misconfigure Wireguard -- there's just not that much to tune aside from MTU. We've had a 1 Gbps tunnel between AWS and OVH for years and it worked mostly fine, except for the handful of times OVH's DDOS mitigation kicked in and killed the tunnel. The issue is when you start wanting to go beyond 1 Gbps.

I think AWS will do 5 Gbps with a capable peer -- which is their limit for a single flow [1] -- but you might need to tell them first so they don't kill public networking on the instance though. I found that UDP iperf tests reliably got my instance's internet shut off, so keep that in mind. On the other hand, OVH will happily do 5-ish Gbps to/from my EC2 instance in a TCP iperf test, but won't tolerate more than 1 Gbps of inbound UDP. OVH support has indicated that this is expected, though they do not document that limitation and it seemed that both their support and network engineering people were themselves unaware of that limit until we complained. They don't seem to have the same limits on ESP, which is why I developed an interest in ipsec arcana.

"Impacts of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation weakening on Arctic amplification" - https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2402322121

And the abstract:

“Enhanced warming of the Arctic region relative to the rest of the globe, known as Arctic amplification, is caused by a variety of diverse factors, many of which are influenced by the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). Here, we quantify the role of AMOC changes in Arctic amplification throughout the twenty-first century by comparing two suites of climate model simulations under the same climate change scenario but with two different AMOC states: one with a weakened AMOC and another with a steady AMOC. We find that a weakened AMOC can reduce annual mean Arctic warming by 2 °C by the end of the century. A primary contributor to this reduction in warming is surface albedo feedback, related to a smaller sea ice loss due to AMOC slowdown. Another major contributor is the changes in ocean heat uptake. The weakened AMOC and its associated anomalous ocean heat transport divergence lead to increased ocean heat uptake and surface cooling. These two factors are inextricably linked on seasonal timescales, and their relative importance for Arctic amplification can vary by season. The weakened AMOC can also abate Arctic warming via lapse rate feedback, creating marked cooling from the surface to lower-to-mid troposphere while resulting in relatively weaker cooling in the upper troposphere. Additionally, the weakened AMOC increases the low-level cloud fraction over the North Atlantic warming hole, causing significant cooling there via shortwave (sw) cloud feedback despite the overall effect of sw cloud feedback being a slight warming of the average temperature over the Arctic.”

I would be a lot more interested in the article if argued that debt at 1-6% and 7-10% is the same asset with the same risk spread but making that the assumption is more than lazy, it’s offensive.
People need to know it so they can determine the veracity of mortgage companies and insurance companies, etc. Those companies might not lie, but they might fudge the numbers a bit and people need to know how much they’re being fudged. it might also help people just avoid an area where the landslide risk is too great, which they might not do if they didn’t know the risk.
