I think the central nature of moderation needs fixed, rather than moderation itself. Real world moderation doesn't work by having a central censor, it involves like-minded people identifying into a group and having their access to conversation enabled by that identification. When the conversation no longer suits the group, the person is no longer welcome. I think a technical model of this could be made to work.

Looked semi-seriously at doing a Twitter clone around the time Bluesky was first announced, and to solve this I'd considered something like GitHub achievement badges (e.g. organization membership), except instead of a static number, these could be created by anyone, and trust relationships could exist between them. For example, a programming language community might have existing organs who might wish to maintain a membership badge - the community's existing CoC would necessarily confer application of this badge to a user, thus extending the existing expectation for conduct out from the community to that platform.

Since within the tech community these expectations are relatively aligned, trust relationships between different badges would be quite straightforward to imagine (e.g. Python and Rust community standards are very similar). Outside tech, similar things might be seen in certain areas of politics, religion or local cultural areas. Issues and dramatics regarding cross-community alignment would naturally be confined only to the neighbouring badges of a potential trust relationship, not the platform as a whole.

I like the idea of badge membership and badge trust being the means by which visibility on the platform could be achieved. There need not be any big centralized standards for participation, each user effectively would be allowed to pick their own poison and starting point for building out their own visibility into the universe of content. Where issues occur (abusive user carrying a highly visible badge, or maintainer of such a badge turning sour or suddenly giving up on its reputation or similar), a centralized function could still exist to step in and potentially take over at least in the interim, but the need for this (at least in theory) should be greatly diminished.

A web of trust over a potentially large number of user-governed groupings has some fun technical problems to solve, especially around making it efficient enough for interactive use. And from a usability perspective, application onboarding for a brand new account

Running on little sleep but thought it was worth trying to sketch this idea out on a relevant thread.
What do you mean by “visible when you look for them”? Like, with light?

Does gravitational lensing count as “visible” to you?
> a hall of shame

Usually that's the opposite that happen with these kind of people. They are going to look forward on being the at the top of the leaderboard, like a child doing stupid things only to get noticed by its parents.
Accountability can take many forms. I don't think they should be fired for making a mistake, I think they should release a statement recognizing their failure along with a post-mortem. Not a particularly high bar, but most leadership failures are often swept under the rug without any public accountability or evidence that they've learned anything.

We have evidence of prior failures with livestreaming from Netflix. Were the same people responsible for that failure or do we have evidence of them having learned anything between events? If anything, I'd expect the best leaders would have a track record that includes failures while showcasing their ability to overcome and learn from those mistakes. But based on what information is publicly available, this doesn't seem to be the case in this situation.
> Instead, O'Brien is giving a self congratulatory self justifying explanation for his wrong doing.

It is at the minimum of very different kind of self-justification than what you'd usually expect from a villain.

When Winston answers with the the expected "for your own good" narrative, O'Brien rejects it and punishes him for it:

> The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long
life or happiness: only power, pure power. What pure power means you will
understand presently. We are different from all the oligarchies of the
past, in that we know what we are doing.
If this doc meant it in the literal sense of 'can't', why go through with the workup, then? This is IMO evidence that the doc meant 'very unlikely, but let's check'. I agree words are important, but still the right decision was made and that's cool.
Back in the news net days, there used to be a parable about a Berkeley hot tub. The owner would give out the code to people, and it would be a good party with a rotating cast of characters for a while, until eventually a few people ruined the party. Then the code would change, and a different crew would start coming through.

Pre-Elon, it seemed that Twitter was doing a pretty good run of keeping a single social network running for a long time. As has Facebook.

But for lots of dedicated communities, the new owner has such direct contempt for them and has focused on ruining the party.

Bluesky will work for now. Already science Twitter is having a huge renaissance now that links are no longer suppressed and discussion has lower noise:

What happened to Threads ?
I filled out the form online, and they immediately sent me a FedEx mailer. I sent it in, but they're estimating Dec 2 for the return. So that's more than a three week turnaround, which is longer than I wished. I'm in southern California and the repair center I mailed it to is in Texas. It was slow ground shipping.

They have two different higher tiers of protection for "next day" repairs. I'm thinking about upgrading.

The infrastructure has been rock-solid. I’ve never seen a service grow this fast without any noticeable outages. The architecture and execution are obviously informed by serious experience at Twitter, but it’s also clear that management is giving them everything they need to do the job right.
Thank you! I had no problem with approval, actually, but I was worried about it too.

The biggest trouble was the requirement to have 20 people in the closed testers track for 14 consecutive days before being allowed to apply for production.
If you can't afford to buy a house, what you want is zoning reform, not increased taxation.

(I want both, but I don't want more taxes to solve the housing problem, because they won't.)
I suspect that when people love Bluesky so much, a lot of that is actually just the fact that it’s free and has no ads and the population was quite manageable.

I don’t think I’ve seen a concrete plan for how it’s going to keep scaling and pay the bills.
This is way too big for everyday carry, just in case my Lyft happens to be a model S. They should forbid those as cabs or take them off the road entirely.
Or possibly, once the event was over, the users in question had the idea that Twitter/X affected the outcome in the way they didn't like and they decided to boycott Twitter/X?
This underestimates the effect of Bluesky’s culture of “block and move on”. There are curated block lists you can subscribe to. Individual communities do a pretty good job of shutting down toxicity they don’t want to engage with.
> If you master the material you know more than 90% of engineers in the field.

Telling someone that he/she is smarter than 90% of the people is not a praise. :-)
Yes, Monoprice sells a brand called "SlimRun" which actually convert the signal to fiber optic and can handle 100ft runs for USB, DisplayPort, and HDMI. They are pricey but they work.

I haven't tried 240Hz, but I have successfully run 7680x2160 wide screen at 120Hz (using HDMI), and 4k144Hz (using DisplayPort).
It truly is embarrassing. Imagine seeing something and thinking, "how can I get the government to forcefully take some of that for my benefit?"
The whole point of online discussion IMO is not to join some little hive mind where everyone agrees with each other (eg many subreddits) but rather to have discussion between people with different information bases and different viewpoints. That's why it's valuable, you learn new things and are exposed to different points of views.
QBE has no support for SIMD last I looked into it, so I don't think it would be appropriate for an SPMD language.

It probably won't last forever, but no ads or spam, and simply seeing a feed of accounts I follow is all I want.
"Solved" merely means you don't need to invent something new to solve it. It doesn't mean trivial nor easy. And it definitely doesn't mean the problem is above trade-offs.
That boys will be boys line is crap. I was a boy and somehow managed not to abuse people.

One of my favourite stories is that my wife went to watch a court case and it was one of my childhood bullies. He was up for forcible confinement. She thought she recognized the name.

I also read in the news (with great satisfaction) that his brother, who was part of the group, had been tasered and beat for resisting arrest.

Sometimes you get what is coming to you. They’re all trash and I think I turned out alright. In a weird way, I think it does build character and resilience.
That's what regulation and compliance is for. Engineers are actually very good with those.
It indeed does.

My reasoning for creating this are the alternatives are WAY TOO EXPENSIVE (5-10x per api call).

Since it's a one man show, i don't need much margin and i'm happy to just keep it alive since my friends and i use it for other projects that have more significant margin.
It is packaged by Ubuntu. Linaro is doing the work with Qualcomm. https://www.linaro.org/blog/qualcomm-and-linaro-enable-lates...
That's an entirely valid concern. It's already true for today's "nutrition facts" labels, though, and the solution for those is that tiny packages say "not labeled for individual sale".
Even just as text, they can easily take your name and spread rumours speaking as if they were you.

Even just as text, you can get dog-piled: we evolved to be social creatures, and for groups of 150-200; for most of us, if we're called names by that many people in quick succession, it breaks us. That's a small online mob, as these things go.

But bullies these days also have effectively zero marginal cost cameras, so they can take as much video as it takes waiting for you to mess up, then do a Cardinal Richelieu — "If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him."

In my day, you could take up to about 24 pictures quickly before needing to take the film out and put new film in, and that would take a while to develop and actually cost money, so that just didn't happen (that I've heard of).

But it's not just taking photos of things that actually happened and misrepresenting them, even one picture is enough to put your classmates into AI generated porn… which is, as you may expect, a thing that kids these days are getting into trouble for doing. In my day, such image manipulation was manual and expensive* and therefore reserved for celebrities, though I doubt that's any real relief to Sarah Michelle Gellar in one example I remember, nor to GWB and (today the relatives of) bin Laden in the other.

* we had a single copy of Photoshop… donated to the art department, which had only one (old) Mac on which to run it. Hard to pirate that kind of software back then even if you knew how to use it, definitely couldn't get unsupervised access to that machine.

But it's not just still images these days, a brief audio recording of your voice and that can also be synthesised. Dictaphones were just starting to get affordable in my last year of mandatory education, and we pranked a teacher by mixing their last lesson with new age relaxation music, burning a CD of that, printed a cover saying something about curing insomnia, and giving it to them as a "last day gift". Now everyone has a dictaphone in their pocket, now you can synthesise anyone's voice saying anything, make images of them appearing to do anything. And a world where those things are, for now, still often treated as if they were real.

But even just text, the internet made it a different world than when I was at school. The psychological impact of being told you, personally, are Officially Bad, that's something that sticks with us and hurts us even when it comes from a pattern of illuminated pixels on their Mandatory Rectangular Communication Prism caused by someone on the other side of the planet who had no business talking to us in the first place; and that distant person can be incited to form part of a mob by a pattern of illuminated pixels on their Mandatory Rectangular Communication Prism.
It actually is, insofar as the tolerant expect to get kudos for being tolerant. In practice, "the intolerant" lines up exactly with "my outgroup that I dislike", and that is exactly who you get points for tolerating.

Now if tolerance isn't supposed to be a virtue and you aren't supposed to get brownie points for being tolerant, then fine whatever. But that isn't how people act when they misuse the paradox of tolerance, they are still looking to get brownie points while just hating on their enemies just as humans have for millennia.

> Why are you offended at the idea that languages should be memory safe by default?

Why are you okay with languages that are not overflow-safe, or unit-safe, or infinite-loop-safe, or safe against bit flips? Memory safety violations are a major chunk of bugs. Writing code to avoid them is about as hard as writing code to avoid other major classes of bugs. In either case, it’s failable. Static analysis and testing then gives confidence that the system is safe, by multiple metrics. Memory safety isn’t special enough to demand a different approach here — quality code requires a coherent approach to quality across multiple bug classes.
Does anyone know any good makers I can follow on there? I'm mostly interested in making stuff, less in monetizing stuff, so I don't want to follow so much entrepreneurs (ie people who like making stuff to make money) as makers (ie people who like making stuff for its own sake). Any good lists?

If anyone wants to follow me on there, I'm @stavros.io.
MOND is not a cosmological theory unlike LCDM, and it isn't relativistic. So we should not expect it to cover the range of things that LCDM tries to.

It's just a tweak to Newtonian gravity, which surprisingly matches observation very well, and has accurately predicted quite a few things in the regime it operates in, before they were observed.

The fact it works so well in the areas it does apply to is the reason that science hasn't given up on it yet (regardless of what pop science or lay people think).

I absolutely agree with you but I can't avoid noticing an extremely common, yet pervasive irony.

The rules of the school no doubt forbid physical violence and expect children to use a process set up by the system to defend themselves against bullying / being wronged. That system failed and because you rightfully saw your son's right to self defense more important than following the rules, you encouraged him to defend himself outsides the confines of the system and its rules.

Later both you and your son were bullied / wronged by the principal. The rules of the state you live in ("laws") no doubt forbid physical violence / being wronged. That system failed...
When I used to use brew, most of the time was brew doing housekeeping. You could see the title bar change processes twenty times a second, often ruby, as it did whatever it was doing, even for simple commands like search or before upgrade confirmation is approved.
Yeah that’s not happening when you’re literally on fire.

go-size-analyzer, a tool for analysing different dependency volumes in go binaries.

Specifically, I'm looking for help from some people who have experience with reversing on the Mac OS platform, and I'd like to address this issue, which is about how binary relocations handle memory addresses on Mac OS.

https://github.com/Zxilly/go-size-analyzer/issues/242

gsa obtains the memory address by calculating the address expression in the dwarf, and subsequently looks for the static content in the binary that actually corresponds to the memory address, but when the macho file contains relocations, the calculated memory address needs to be relocated with the same logic to get the correct binary content. I've been working on this problem for a while, but I'm really not familiar with the macho structure and I don't own a macbook, I'd like to get help from developers who have experience in this area.

That's a sweet LAN setup you've got! The only few things that rub me the wrong way is the choice of peripherals and the lack of headsets. Must be pretty noisy in here!

The tabletops also seems a bit too thin and wiggly for my taste, but, honestly, for LAN parties with chill people you personally know — it's ok

As for the actual host setup with a singular disk image — great job! LAN gaming centres do something similar with their setups, with some differences (a lot of centres either use Windows-based diskless solutions that mount vhdx files as drives remotely over iSCSI, or use ZFS-based snapshotting, which is my personal favourite)

But all in all, seems like my dream house :)

I own a chain of LAN gaming centres, so the feedback is definitely skewered into the business perspective quite a bit
Noam Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent" is great place for anyone wanting to learn more about the various biases that influence what gets covered in the media, and how it is discussed. It's a book, but there's also a great documentary of the same name that's half about Noam Chomsky's life, and half the ideas discussed in the book.

It's from the late 80s, but it is still relevant (and it also helps it feel a little above the current political hot-topics of today.

> What about using TPM modules? I've been researching these modules lately, primarily for use in online video games. From my understanding, you can use TPMs to effectively ban players (TPM ban) based on their hardware. This would mean every time an account is banned, the bad actor would have to switch to a different TPM. Since a TPM costs real money, this places a limit on the scalability of a bad actor.

It is even worse for privacy than phone number. You can never change it and you can be linked between different services, soon automatically if Google goes forward with the plans.

> I don't quite get what you mean. [...] What I'm saying is that there is a super-easy way to configure CMake to enable optimisations (CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release), but this cannot be said for bounds checking

Maybe I'm not getting what you mean.

You are saying you already run

cmake ...

So I am saying you can just change that to

CXXFLAGS="-Dblah" cmake -U CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS ...

That genuinely seems pretty darn easy to me.

In any case, any beef you have is clearly with CMake here. You'd have the same issue(s) with any other flag, for any language, if you use CMake.
I agree that this is probably a major contributor. The human mind has only so much mental bandwidth available, and mere existence in modern society demands much of it. Whatever is left over is slowly consumed as responsibilities accumulate.

I believe that this loss is somewhat reversible, however. Whenever I take a vacation that serves as a hard break from practically all of my responsibilities, I notice that the color and details of the world begin to trickle back in. If only it were practical to remain in that state for extended periods.
if everyone is in practice using the same instance, they can just un-decentralize it at any moment they want, though

Commercial boxing has always been like WWE or MMA with a thin veneer of actual sport to it, i.e. it is just entertainment[1].

To rephrase your question then what does someone think of the entertainment on display?

I don't think it was good entertainment.

None of the hallmarks of a good show was present. i.e. It wasn't close, nor was it bloody or anything unexpected like say a KO everything went pretty much as expected. It wasn't nice watch as all,no skill or talent was on disply, all Paul had to do was use his speed to backpedal from the slow weak punches of a visibly older tyson with a bum knee and land some points occasionally to win.

--

[1] There is a deeper argument here is any spectator sports just entertainment or is truly about skill talent and competition. Boxing however including the ones promoted by traditional four major associations falls clearly on the entertainment side than say another sport like NFL to me.
Gratz to the blue sky team, it’s very hard getting a social media app to gain traction.

However, after messing around with twitter and mastodon, I really do not get the appeal. All the incentives are not to have meaningful conversation, rather it is all about engagement.

It’s way too much noise and not for me.
