Everything important is politics though. Celeb talks about her experiences - politics. Earth is getting warmer - politics.

Our lives ARE political.

Hell, right now researchers on misinformation are being harassed by senators to bankrupt them, and create living lessons to stop others from reducing the reach of manipulative content.

WE already had the entire free speech fight at the dawn of content moderation. We collectively ran millions of experiments, and realized that if you dont moderate community spaces, the best ideas DONT rise to the top, the most viral and emotional ones do.

If you want to see what no moderation looks like, you can see 4 Chan.

By nature, taking a stand on being factual, is automatically political because there are people who are disadvantaged by facts. Enron and oil producers spread FUD over global warming because it was problematic for their profits.

Stopping their FUD, is censorship via moderation. How is a regular joe going to combat a campaign designed to prevent people from reaching consensus?

Anyway, this is going to be fun.
It’s also quite bizarre to read these endless complaints, because by definition roughly 1 percent of communities must be in the 99th percentile of communities in terms of unaffordability.

Edit: That can never change either, in aggregate, so it’s literally futile to complain about it in general terms.
Does Sam Altman know it's creepy as shit when you have a press release, signed by your family, ready to go when you're accused of incestuous paedophilia?

And specifically, one whose defense boils down to calling the accuser crazy?

How about instead of character assassination that smacks of a PR team, you do the normal thing and say, "We deny all these claims. We look forward to contesting them in a court of law"? Fin.
I believe that is the case. Or at least it can be set to work like that. There is also an E2E encrypted copy in the cloud.
> Is the distribution of people in Austin so very different from the Bay Area?

If we just go by presidential election, Travis County's result is more balanced than SF and San Mateo, almost on par with Alameda county, so the answer is "slightly." However, the moment you get exposed outside the core Austin area, you deal with predominantly red areas. To get the same effect you have to go as far as Placer County or Sonoma, so I don't think the FB workers in Bay Area (SF/Menlo Park) have quite the same level of exposure.
Well, respectfully speaking, if you have more firsthand knowledge of this industry than I do, and have a point to make other than merely calling my experience in the subject in to question, then I will entertain that I might have things backward. But I suspect between the two of us, I know more about it than you do, because I've been in the fields myself.
The point of good CNF solver is that simple changes in encoding shouldn't give big and predictable performance jump, so you don't need to worry about encodings a lot.
Ok, they "occupied" Greenland if you prefer although if they didn't have Copenhagen's greenlight it was an invasion. But that's largely semantics and does not address the general point and the fact that the US's interest in Greenland is not new despite Trump being Trump and they were keen to keep it. Even at the time it was not new.
You're using a military technology to communicate that thought.
Of course it matters. Have you seen the emotional reaction people get to Trump/Kamala posts?

Orthogonally to the point of this excellent article, I found it striking how this was probably true, once--and then TVs got smart enough that it took seconds to change channels, instead of milliseconds. And then it was no longer possible for input failures to be corrected subconsciously.

I’m not an expert but pretty sure fibers helps a lot regarding diabetes 2, microbiote and many other thing related. Vegans and fruitarians usually gets a lot more fibers than others regimes. But a diverse omnivorous diet including many vegetable is better than tofu+potatoes only. I recommend tempeh (0) instead tofu.

I agree with you sugars can’t be seen as the only one cause.

Mostly Linux with systemd-nspawn, also some Kubernetes, plus the occasional full VM. (If I were setting this up from scratch, I'd probably try to figure out how to run my desktop as 100% Kubernetes, using something like k3s, but I don't know how practical things like GPU access or Waypipe forwarding would be via that method.)

I live inside Emacs for most things except browsing the web, either separate instances via SSH, or using TRAMP mode.

If you switch to Linux, I highly recommend configuring your browser with a fake Windows or MacOS user agent string. Our Cloudflare overlords really, really hate Linux users and it sucks to continually get stuck in endless CAPTCHAs.

They won on the backs of decades of efforts to prove that the culture wars were unhealthy for America. That worrying about climate change was a hoax. That evolution itself is controversial. That universities and authority figures are not to be trusted. That somehow, Fox News, the biggest media corp in America, is not the main stream media.

They got here, by destroying our ability to fight disinformation. They beat climate science in the 90s, by giving air time to cranks, and then senators used those specious arguments to stall climate bills. When scientists came onto Fox to try and reach the audience, they were thrown to the lions for the entertain of the audience. Derided and mocked with gotchas and rhetorical arguments designed to win the perception game.

This is a continuation of that game. Because it works. The idea that free speech is at risk because of moderation is amazing, because it is being revived after being tested by everyone online. We started the internet without moderation, we believed that the best ideas win.

We have moderation everywhere now, because we know that this fact is empirically untrue. The most viral ideas propagate. The ones most fit to survive their medium - humans.

I agree that they won, because they played the game to win. But we should not miss how they worked hard, to set up the conditions for this type of a win.
Yeah, been seeing their site a lot when setting up cog and weston for an embedded kiosk thing. Also met a bunch of them at the OpennSource Summit in Vienna.

Every now and then you run into these small-ish expert consultancies that actually are the force behind a lot of open source.

They seem awesome.
With regards to what they're saying, the first thing to do is reverse the perspective. The applicant is hearing a yes or no, so if it's a no they want to know what they did wrong to improve themselves.

From the interviewer's perspective - we get someone who is average, then another person who is average, then someone who has trouble with basic questions, then we get this person who may be as average as the first two, then we get someone who answers every question correctly, and has a deep knowledge of the domain if you drill down, then you get an average person again.

There's nothing really wrong with the person, they did as well as four other people. It's just that someone else came in who was a standard deviation above the majority of the people in the bell in the normally distributed Gaussian curve.

That's a good example. My favorite has always been rock-paper-scissors. If `vs` is a binary operator which gives you the winner according to the game then

You need to ensure that the test doesn't discriminate on the basis of a protected characteristic though.
We can look at precedent here. RTLM's involvement in the Rwandan genocide for example would be a good place to start. There's a pretty explicit connection between the radio propaganda (RTLM furthered the Hutu Power ideology) and the actual violence. We should be able to draw a distinction between Jack Thompson and Tipper Gore fearmongering versus explicitly violent rhetoric designed to dehumanize people and promote the eradication of those people.

The actions taken by the US in response to the genocide in Myanmar were largely economic because, I would think, their proximity to China. Can't imagine direct intervention would have gone smoothly.

For the record, I don't think our response in Myanmar or Rwanda were good, not trying to dispute or downplay that.
> I believe you are confusing "effective" with "ugly"

Oh no, I truly believe it’s ugly.
If you installed a European outlet in a US home then it would be using the same split phase configuration that a NEMA 14-30 does. But many appliances will work just fine, so long as they can handle 60 Hz and don't actually require a distinct neutral and ground for safety reasons. Likewise NEMA 10-30, the predecessor to NEMA 14-30 which is still found in older homes, does not have a ground pin.
> This sounds quite sinister but it was a common summer job in Iowa for teenagers. You could make enough in a summer to buy a used car.

Yeah, I got my first job working on a family dairy when I turned 14. It was tough work, especially having to wake up at 3:30am on the weekends to go work outside in negative temperatures over the winters. It did help me purchase my first car and other things that my friends either couldn't afford or had to have their parents buy for them.
It is the same thought process I apply to every accusation made against someone. It is not a defense of him.

While these kind of articles are useful for learners, I hope someone please explain concurrency models for uWSGI/Gunicorn/uvicorn/gevent. Like how long does global variables live? How does context switching (like the magic request from Flask) work? How to spawn async background tasks? Is it safe to mix task schedulers inside web code? How to measure when concurrency is full and how to scale? What data can be shared between executors and how? How to detect back-pressure? How to interrupt long-running function when client disconnects (nginx 499)? How to proper handle unix signals for threads/multiprocess/asyncio?

I reality no one writes from scratch with threads, processes or asyncio unless you are a library author.
Is there a transpiler / compiler that can take basic Python / Rust / C code and run it exclusively on GPU (I'm assuming GPUs support some sort of branching these days)?

It would be nice to be able to take random bits of code and actually look at what you win / lose by running (unoptimized) on GPU vs. CPU.

Hummm various models seem to think the problem is nobody has done the work of figuring out how stuff like memory allocation and function control flow would work.

I'm surprised there isn't a fun github with a minimalist proof of concept or that none of the big players have implemented (even very inefficient) instructions in their GPU to allow general purpose computing.
These are just completely bog-standard cognitive aptitude tests; in fact, they are if anything less rigorous than a modern IQ test. They're generally not specialized to specific jobs. You can read Reddit threads about people taking (and studying for) them.

Don't get me wrong: I think this is an incredibly dumb practice. But there's a mythology that IQ testing is a super-effective tool for recruiting that has been suppressed by anti-discrimination law. That is not the case. Most companies don't use IQ tests, because they're not fit for purpose.
> Why do we write programs with one thread that executes the instructions in order? Why not just always write fully parallelized code?

Maybe to a layperson this is an interesting question, but surely on this site the answer is obvious.

I skimmed through anyway, just on the off chance he's talking about some new GPU development I didn't know about. But no, it's just a clickbaity title for a basic "pros and cons of parallelizing" article of mediocre quality.
I live in Minnesota. I hear what you’re saying, but I would say two things: in general, teenagers here are not being somehow denied farm work that they really want but is unavailable; and there’s a pretty big difference between Minnesota/Iowa summer heat and picking cantaloupes in inland California. The big difference being about 20 degrees on average, with more sun.
In my experience the step of leaving von Neumann architecture and programming that data flows across the compute engines is the more difficult step than the crappy FPGA tools. I tell people that with an FPGA you teach the computer what to be, not what to do. A bit like functional vs. imperative programming.

Therefore I can't yet imagine how to easier onboard people who learned on a "classical CPU". Can you go a bit deeper in what makes your system easier to program?
Technically from a legal perspective you aren't using JavaScript any more because it's being produced by a company (Google, Apple, whoever) who doesn't own the trademark to call it JavaScript. So it legally isn't JavaScript even if it's directly descended from something that was legally JavaScript.

The fact that you and everyone else still call this thing we have now JavaScript is exactly why this trademark thing is stupid and most likely invalid.
You can replace the receptacles with ones meant for 240VAC at the same time you modify the wiring. Then it should be okay. Replacing the NEMA 5-15 receptacles with NEMA 6-15 receptacles would work.
> Heck I'd likely go job hunting just out of curiosity, the idea of exploring other options should be interesting at the least

When I grew up, my father worked in commercial banking in the 1980s and 1990s. There were so many bankruptcies / mergers / financial crises, that he got (painfully) used to being laid off. Watching him go through this had a large impact on my view of my relationship with most employers (hostile, wary, defensive). He once said to me, "At my level (middle manager), as soon as I start my new job, I start looking for my next job." He was exaggerating, but the point stayed with me.

I definitely agree with you: Looking for a job (or "keeping your doors & windows open to new opportunities") while having a job is much, much easier -- mentally. In my industry, most connections with head hunters are made through LinkedIn. You can set a special flag in your profile that says "I'm looking for work", but this is only visible to professional head hunters (they pay a lot of money for an account with these special privileges). It works very well. Normally, the calls start with: "Them: Are you looking at the moment? Me: No, but I am open to new and exciting opportunities. Them: Oh, great. I have something for you." Do that enough, and eventually something very good lands on your doorstep.

Show HN: Obj-Editor – A simple, live 3D modelling tool to study .obj
I worked on an interesting hobby project last year. Obj-Editor is an open-source tool that helps you visualize changes to your 3D model as you edit each vertex and face of the model.

Back when I was studying how 3D models are stored in files, I came across the problem of having to edit a simple, human-readable .obj on a text editor and start up blender for every iteration to see my changes. So I built this tool on Unity that helps you edit the raw .obj and see changes on your mesh live on side-by-side screens.

I have since grown as a dev and know that many fixes and other essential features are required to see this tool going anywhere, but I thought it's a cool little thing to showcase on here.
No point answering this because dang would remove it.
> I don’t believe I (or anyone else) have any fundamental purpose for existing. If you have evidence to the contrary, please share.

I didn't say existing, but persisting. This is kind of the basis of the point I was making. Clearly you do believe you have a fundamental purpose for persisting, as do most people - otherwise we would see more people deciding to stop living once they have come to the conclusion they have no fundamental purpose.

As to the point of humans being "just animals", you are correct; we are the only "just animals" that have spiritual religion as an emergent property of our species. Given where you are anchoring the beginnings of this discussion, I feel starting your research on the evolutionary origin of religion would be a good starting point to understanding what I mean when I say homo sapiens are a spiritual species.

Unfortunately this starts with a definition of concurrency quoted from the Python wiki [0] which is imprecise: "Concurrency in programming means that multiple computations happen at the same time."

Not necessarily. It means multiple computations could happen at the same time. Wikipedia has a broader definition [1]: "Concurrency refers to the ability of a system to execute multiple tasks through simultaneous execution or time-sharing (context switching), sharing resources and managing interactions."

In other words it could be at the same time or it could be context switching (quickly changing from one to another). Parallel [2] means explicitly at the same time: "Parallel computing is a type of computation in which many calculations or processes are carried out simultaneously."
