There are many options where such links are a reasonable option. I'm okay to receive such a link to validate my e-mail for an account creation, or to unsubscribe from a mailing list at a place I don't have an account at, or to display an order status page at a shop where I ordered as a guest without creating an accoung.

But using them as the only option to login is really, really annoying. Mails can get trapped in spam filters, delayed by intermediate server overload or spam filters that sometimes take 10 minutes, servers doing graylisting... Plus all the other annoyances listed in the article (e.g. multi-device users, in-app browsers). At the very least, support passkeys if you really don't want to store (hashed) passwords. And no, SMS is not an alternative: I was several times barred from logging in to a service because SMS wasn't properly working (can happen easily while roaming abroad).

Twitter's Community Notes were designed to be resistant to sybil attacks. Meta is calling their new product Community Notes, but it would be a mistake to assume the algorithms are the same under the hood. Hopefully Meta will be as transparent as Twitter has been, with a regular data dump and so on.
> And the reason pre-cooked meat pieces are added to curries in restaurants is that we need to get the food to you in 5-7 minutes. We can't cook it leisurely for 25-30 minutes in the gravy like we would do at home. It's called "mise en place" in the restaurant business.

Some years ago I fell into a Youtube rabbit hole of British Indian Restaurants. (Actually most seemed Bangladeshi) In Britian Indian cuisine has a far more "takeout" status. Hence BI restaurants started to deconstruct popular dishes into components which can be prepared in advance and combined into different dishes. It may not be original but I found the process of adaptation rather fascinating.

(Here in Germany it seems rather worse. Also takeout status, but I suspect a lot of takeout orders are simply microwaved stuff.)

Directly paying for cash-priced surgery has become cheaper than the heavily regulated insured coverage. Not only cheaper when including the overhead of having insurance, but cheaper in real terms of a single surgery event.
The suggestion is to change the rules, so what people currently do is irrelevant.

Genghis Khan set the rules, which is why actually changing them would be very difficult.
Very good advice. An implication from being reluctant to introducing dependencies is that you should remove dependencies if you can. Perhaps different parts of the system is using different PDF-generation libraries, or some clever person introduced Drools at some point but you might as well convert those rules to plain old Java.

Tooling is important too. IDE:s are great, but one should also use standalone static analysis, grepping tools like ripgrep and ast-grep, robust deterministic code generation, things like that.
The EU has an Accessibility Act coming into play from June this year, so a subset of companies working on things like travel booking systems will have to test to make sure they meet those new requirements.

It are also facts that many politicians are corrupt and are fooling us. But they arranged it nicely so that they aren't being fact checked.

And the ones in power and with money can decide who the fact checkers will be. And the ones in power and with money can help and support each other. Because we want to keep the money inside the family, to protect the facts you know.

What's the best way to learn piano via keyboard like a professional ?
Similar to this, a while ago I made this online playground (Lambda Musika) where you can program sound realtime in your browser (using JS) in a functional-ish way:

https://lambda.cuesta.dev/ (repo: https://github.com/alvaro-cuesta/lambda-musika) -- check out the examples on the bottom toolbar's blue button.

The basic idea is you write a function `t => [l, r]` where `t` is time and `l`, `r` are output samples for the left and right channels in `[-1, 1]` range. You can think of it like ShaderToy but for sound synthesis.

It includes a small utility library but it's meant to be just a few helper functions instead of a full-fledged framework like SuperCollider, Sonic Pi, et al. I.e. it's still sample-oriented instead of module-oriented. E.g. in Sonic Pi you script modules, their parameters, and how they connect with each other, while Lambda Musika is all about outputting samples of a waveform.

It's very barebones -- I'd love to get some time to upgrade this to Monaco editor and add TS, intellisense, etc. -- and possibly buggy, but I still find myself coming from time to have some fun with it.
It’s obviously not a business.
>They are not solely reliant on process node shrinks for performance uplifts like Intel was.

People who keep giving intel endless shit are probably very young and don't remember how innovative Intel was in the 90s and 00s. USB, PCI-Express, Thunderbolt, etc., all Intel inventions, plus involvement in Wifi and wireless telecom standards. They are guilty of anti competitive practices and complacency in the last years but their innovations weren't just node shrinks.

Not medium, but if you implement a rate based system for anything that is used as ad platform you trigger many smart minds to find ways to cheat your system
Third party in this case could be two things at least.

One, an advertisement that is about something that provided by someone who is not Meta - like a Nike shoe, or a law firm.

Two, third party could imply that the data left the Meta ecosystem - like how if you visit a blog, and there is a Google Adsense banner, then your visitation data left the blog, the first party, to end up at Google, a third party, and possibly others, again, third parties.

I am making this "third party" distinction, because I think that this is a significant step in what it takes to make advertisements "dystopian", which is the premise of the original post. I think that the situation that OP encountered, that he used a service, and then service itself did something unexpected, is not at all dystopian. However, what the title posited, that his face is now used for targeted advertisements, has much more far-reaching implications - like, for example, it could be the next Cambridge Analytica scandal.
SDI over fibre with a cheap converter if you need to push multi hindered metres. Then people moves to 222-6 which packetised the SDi over IP, and now 2110 which breaks out the SDI to its components.

For most long haul links people still compress, good old h264 or 265 with latencies in the 200-500ms range (plus network propagation), or J2k/JXS and NDI which are more like 50-150ms. Ultimately 200mbit of h265 is far cheaper to transmit than 10ish gbit of 2110, and in many cases the extra 500ms doesn’t matter.
Ah - I missed the "either of those two."

The suggestion falls apart under any scrutiny, you can't force anyone to take care of their kids, if they want to, they will, and if they don't, they won't. Genghis Khan is more closer to our current ruleset than anyone currently is to this suggested rule set, he didn't set any rules, he was following the same rules as people currently do, as I mentioned in the previous sentence.

You’re basically saying the same thing. “Doing nice things” just gets you in the mindset of helping others, which many people don’t actively do.

Wish I had known about this article last year when developers added debouncing to the Sensor Watch project. I had to learn a lot of this from scratch in order to review and merge in their changes.

I'm still running their code right now on my watch. It uses timers to allow the switch to settle before triggering input events. Dramatically improved its usability. Latency noticeably increased but without it interfaces which required holding down buttons simply didn't work reliably.

It"s funny but also true? I have taken my coffee black for years now, having started because I wanted to just simplify my experience with it (among other things in my life). Not that my old coffee order was complex, but being lactose intolerant meant I needed to choose which milk substitute I was going to get, since not all coffee shops carried the same ones back in the day (less of a problem now, from what I understand). I grew to enjoy it black and still drink it that way to this day.

Going back to it, I think the need to simplify things was key for me. We are bombarded with so many choices, especially in our food products which I've described as the Breakfast Cereal Problem in the past. There are simply too many to consider them all with each shopping trip, so you are almost forced to just make one arbitrary choice and live with it unless you want to be paralyzed in the grocer aisle. None of the choices really offer a significant value or weight over the others, each cereal promising the same thing; to be part of a balanced breakfast, that Gestalt puzzle created by marketers to kick off our day.

Once you step back from that world, it does seem miserably pointless and the same can be said for the SSB's in the article. But on a deeper level, it says something about the stresses we introduce into our lives by chasing too many choices. I can't remember which of his books he mentions this in, but Richard Feynman seemed to have the same realization when struggling to decide what to get for dessert in restaurants. Eventually, be just settled on chocolate cake so he didn't have to make that decision anymore. That stuck with me for some reason, more than any concerns about how soda or whatever might be affecting my blood sugar, pushing me in the direction of just going with the more ubiquitous alternative; water.

Plus with soda at $4USD a pop in most restaurants these days, it's just cheaper to go with water. So we have health, simplicity and financial reasons to not go for the SSBs. Seems enough for me.

Small nitpick: Illumia is the owner of the sequencing market. But not really of the bioinformatics market.
I think the key difference between the internet now and then is that back then, the internet was novel but it was also optional, and something we chose to opt into at the end of the day, thus giving us an escape from reality in someway shape or form. However now days, the Internet is the platform by which we conduct our day to day lives, including how we communicate with even our family members in our own homes, to how we receive our mail and bills, how we do our banking, our shopping and how we consume news and other media.

It’s difficult to be Internet free. It’s difficult to escape it entirely. If someone gave me a new thing to escape the internet, that was as vast and full of potential as the internet is, I’d be probably take it, the problem is, why create something like that, when it already exists?

Yes, I know. My words seem to be easily misunderstood. The claim is that:

1) "knob" *in English* can mean "penis"

2) This is why "knob" was on the English rude words list

3) It looks like a rude word list containing "knob" was translated without context, so that the word "knob" became "Knopf" even though "Knopf" isn't rude.

Wäre es andersherum gewesen, wäre es so, dass „Schlange“ sowohl <<en:queue>> als auch <<en:penis>> bedeutet, und wenn „queue“ in einer englischen Liste mit Schimpfwörtern stünde, wären die meisten Leute sehr verwirrt.

Linux Routing Fundamentals
That's a very interesting story, can't find those in places other than HN, thanks for sharing. Out of interest, what was the reason they didn't start rebuilding their stack on top of AWS? If it was cheaper and better, then it would make sense for them to effectively migrate all teams to their AWS-plus solution? Was there some anti-cloud sentiment?
Ah yeah, you are right, there are people that have been exposed to it so much that they think it is normal, and a necessary part of life.

Well you know, things can change. In the past it was a family outing to go watch a beheading. That was normal for them and good entertainment. And they would have used the same arguments as you to somebody critical about it.

And you're right, it is a valid choice, and if you really enjoy being humiliated, by all means, you have the freedom to.

I do think eventually when the rest of the people have grown up and moved on to much more intelligent endeavors, that you might start to think differently too. But maybe not, everyone has their own interests.

Compression and prediction are the same. Decompressing a lossy format is guessing how the original image might have looked like. The difference between fake frames and P and B frames is that the difference between prediction of fake frame and real frame is dependant on the user input.

>In most cases you could eat multiple pastries and still have significantly less sugar than a soda.

yep. The can of soda has something like 10 spoons of sugar. In that volume i stop feeling the difference after 2nd-3rd spoon of sugar. I do drink soda - by diluting it about 1:5. For the pastries and other bakery products - it does depends where it comes from. The standard American bakery sill puts a lot of sugar into pastries, cakes, bread (especially the fast-rise), etc. while some of the ones trying to do European style do use sugar more moderately (they also usually use more fat like butter thus making the taste better, more balanced, and probably also thus more healthy - my personal impression/opinion - as the more balanced content (fat/carbs vs. low-fat-high-sugar approach somehow more popular in the American bakery) seems to me to be better).
I was answering your question. You asked how fact checkers can be fact checked and the answer is like any other job. Fact checking isn't magic, and it's existed for a long time. It's basically what newspaper sub-editors do.

nobody cares enough to actually do it. but what would it take to have near instantaneous channel changes again?, prestarting a second stream in the background? And realistically the linear array of channels is also dead so it really does not matter. so I guess the modern equivalent is having a snappy UI.

A horrible idea, as if our current tv features were not already bad enough. the modern equivalent to quick channel changes would be a learning model that guesses what you you want to see next, has that stream prestarted then have the "next channel" button tied to activate that stream. The actual reason this is a bad idea, I mean above and beyond the idea that we want learning models in our tv's. Is that the manufactures would very quickly figure out that instead of the agent working for their customers they could sell preferential weights to the highest bidder.

closing thought... Oh shit I just reinvent youtube shorts(or perhaps tik tok, but I have managed to avoid that platform so far)... an interface I despise with a passion.
