There are cooperative principles from a 1995 convention of the International Cooperative Alliance, key to filter policy and operations through to insure whatever you found can meet the definitions of cooperative ownership. There's supposed to be political democracy n this country, one person one vote but no economic democracy, we don't get to vote for the CEO running the company many of us work for because we don't have capital. Cooperative enterprise can be a way to push down ownership power to more people; employees and customers. It is not easy because people are not easy.

Co-ops are one member one vote. Google ICA cooperative principles to read up and get a base foundation. I second also going to the US Federation of Worker Cooperatives to learn more.

It can be a complex process to build a business enterprise that is equally owned by workers and even more challenging to try to keep it a going concern. Good luck!
I believe Apple silicon has Jira coprocessor. It really became usable on M1 and beyond. Even the horrid UX got somehow better in the last few years (like not having 3+ different text inputs, each with different formatting behavior). My guess is since the hardware caught up with them they can now finally use it and iterate.
I am amazed people are staying so calm and civil in this comment thread.
Why calling laid-off tech employees 'low performers' is career-ending
Considering recent developments in GPU hardware (Tensor Cores for GEMM), another hardware accelerated algorithm is ray tracing for photo-realistic rendering. As far as I understand the Ray Tracing Cores provide an efficient hardware implementation of ray-triangle intersection, pulling data from a Bounded Volume Hierarchy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounding_volume_hierarchy).
On search and editing system unit files:

1. My life improved a lot after I found that you can do "systemctl status $PID" and systemd will find what service (if any) is responsible for the process in question. This has been a life saver many, many times. But, more search would still be welcome, especially for cases when the system fails to boot, or fails to reach a particular target etc.

2. I think systemd didn't go far enough with unit files. The motivation was to escape the hell of Shell scripts, where each system was defined in its own unique way, and was failing in a dozen of unique ways. While, initially, it might have seemed that a simple INI-style format could manage to describe service requirements... I think, it's way overdue to realize that it doesn't. And sysadmins on the ground "fix" that by embedding more Shell into these configuration files, bringing us back to the many unique ways a service will fail. Perhaps, having a way to edit these unit files so that it doesn't expose the actual format may lead to improvement in the format (more structure, more types, templates).

Money is simply debt; an IOU to hand in for something of value in the future. If it helps to have the money abstraction in mind, imagine the debt being called immediately, whereby the thing of value is delivered immediately.

I've played Mafia several times and enjoy it a lot. However, I have also witnessed friendships completely destroyed in the process. Some people are capable as seeing it as just a game, discard all prior trust or expectations with others during, and then at the end, reset completely back to how it was before, perhaps having learnt something about people in the process.

For those who cannot do this, they will experience true pain, broken trust, and leave with friendships fundamentally changed. If this sounds like you, do not play this game!
Although I will say that the difference between my old Intel MacBook and the M2 Pro is night and day.
Because it isn't censoring. Censoring is selective removal of information. This is wholesale. The tiktok ban isn't even about suppressing information. If you search for e.g. the Moscow Times, you'll also find words like "banned", "declare illegal foreign agent" in the Western press. Censorship already applied to that news outlet, but after the feb 2023 offensive, the Russian state simply forbade the whole publication.

> You do not seem to find any commonality between censoring different categories of websites or apps.

The fact that they're different is important. Pornography is really different from journalism. Aversion against public nudity and sexual acts is deeply ingrained in many cultures, if not all. It also doesn't serve any democratic goal. Freedom of porn isn't a human right.
I guess Milton Friedman was right; a business is responsible "to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game".

Biden had plenty of time in his presidency to intervene and stop the ban that Trump started.

Instead he signed it into law without question.

The book gets quoted quite enough. But quotes are really bad arguments.

Here’s one that flies in the face of the Orwell’s:

Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. [...] We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.

- Karl R. Popper

In practice we’ve seen both ways play out badly. So clearly we can’t just hope that full freedom is good, and good guys will win.
And if their lives weren't a end stage capitalist hell scape those news would have as much effect as Radio Moscow did during the cold war.

And loves being the hero. When the app was taken down, there was a generic message about the ban. Then 1 hour later, it was changed to include:

That’s patently false. There are many schools and teaching methods that teach critical thinking. Attending higher education usually does the trick IF the student is actually motivated in the slightest.

This very much feels like the government could solve multiple problems at once: build facilities to care for the elderly and also decrease the overall prison population.

Of course, it’s not that it will solve the greater situation of an aging populace, but doing more about the consequences of that is probably a good idea, as much as you can!

> I suspect most of the players are still trying to identify and eliminate traitors though: they do seem genuinely surprised/disappointed when a faithful is banished

tbf, they're also strongly incentivised to look surprised and disappointed when a faithful is banished.

And for that matter to latch on to someone else's wild suspicions even if they're daft, because if that person's theory turns out to be wrong (or even if it's right!), you're unlikely to be the person targeted for going along with it. Jury service doesn't come with the expectation that you're likely to be voted out by teammates or "murdered" if you come up with a decent counterargument or spot something tangible that nobody else does.
Fiddly and unintuitive? A lack of exposure to something does not really allow room for valid criticism of the thing.

Just a tip, if you remember the service name, status will show the directory the unit file is in. That will hopefully get you over your issues with directories. Complaining about Linux directories seems weird though. Have you looked at... anything else at all?
The Romans actually didn't think that killing people was wrong per se, so maybe that wasn't the best strategy.
I'm sorry. I can't respectfully continue this conversation with you. It simply won't be productive for us because I don't believe you're a serious or intellectually honest person nor that you have the technical knowledge to discuss these things competently.

Do you believe some better out come for society as a whole, or some individuals in society will benefit from this intervention? Why? And at what cost?

Your question implies serval beliefs, which may or may not be true. And that others may, or may not share.

For one, I don’t think the average developer has a ton of say on how products get made. So that’s not likely the power you’re seeking to ensure changes hands? Market forces and legal structure pretty much ensure enshitification and other outcomes which many would likely consider sub optimal.
This seems quite an accusatory comment!

Taxpayer-funded TV stations aren’t showing major commercial sport in Australia or anywhere else, really.

If it’s not exclusive to pay television, it’s on free-to-air commercial networks. These are fully private companies that pay a large license fee to use spectrum, and fund their purchase of the sports broadcasting rights by selling advertising (usually at peak rates as these events are very popular).

In Australia, all four of the Grand Slam tennis tournaments are shown on free-to-air commercial TV. No taxpayer funding whatsoever but easily accessible to everyone.
Sounds like entitlement. Ever consider there are more users than yourself?

I disagree that you won’t edit lines, but I think you’re right.

At work this week I was investigating how we could auto scale our CI. I know enough Jenkins, AWS, perforce, power shell, packer, terraform, c++ to be able to do this, but having the time to implement and flesh everything out is a struggle. I asked Claude to create an AMI with our workspace preloaded on it, and a user data script that set up a perforce workspace without syncing it, all on windows, with the tools I mentioned. I had to make some small edits to the code to get it to match what I wanted but for the most part it took 2-3 days screwing around with a pretty clear concept in my head, and I had a prototype running in 30 minutes. Turns out it’s quicker to sync from perforce than it is to boot the custom AMI , but I learned that with an hour in total rather than building out more and we got to look at alternatives. That’s the future to me.
Ironic to talk about China's 'warfare' while America has over 1,000 military bases around the world.

> overhead of each API call

Yeah, that's an issue, esp with WebGL.. but you can get pretty far by reducing calls with a cache, things like "don't set the uniform / attribute if you don't need to".. but I hear WebGPU has a better API for this, and eventually this should get native performance.. though, I also wonder, is this really a bottleneck for real-world projects? I love geeking out about this.. but.. I suspect the real-world blocker is more like "user doesn't want to wait 5 mins to download AAA textures"

> Nerfed timers

Yeah, also an issue. Fwiw Mainloop.js gives a nice API for having a fixed timestep and getting an interpolation value in your draw handler to smooth things out. Not perfect, but easy and state-of-the-art afaict. Here's a simple demo (notice how `lerp` is called in the draw handler): https://github.com/dakom/mainloop-test

Re: multithreading, I don't think that's a showstopper... more like, techniques you'd use for native aren't going to work out of the box on web, needs more custom planning. I see this as more of a problem for speeding up systems _within_ systems, i.e. faster physics by parallelizing grids or whatever, but for having a physics WASM running in a worker thread that shares data with the main thread, it's totally doable, just needs elbow grease to make it work (will be nice when multithreading _just works_ with a a SharedArrayBuffer and easily)

Here in my country, Chinese propaganda is vast in TikTok because of the disputes in the South China Sea, Scarborough Shoal and others. Maybe your feed is different since you aren't neighbors with China.
LOL, and what is your opinion on the Iraq War? Let's hear it.
Today I learned that TikTok has been used by over half the US population! In Europe, usage numbers are significantly lower and it's still generally regarded as something for young people. In fact, I only know very few adults (in my country) who actively use TikTok.

Yes it is, because the post discussed this approach precisely because unrolling the actual chain of thought in interactive chat does not work.

And it's doubly relevant because chain of thought let's transformers break out of TCO complexity and be UTM. This matters because TC0 is pattern matching while UTM is general intelligence. Forgetting what the model thought breaks this and (ironically) probably forces the model back into one-shot pattern matching. https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.07923

The argument that an adversary should not have access to radio waves is definitely sound reasoning to me should the UK or the EU ever decide to ban Twitter/X.
There's really nothing in this that you can latch on to. It's rambling and at times paranoid. (He approvingly cites the bonkers claim that "...some of these kids are joining the company not with the intent of doing things for us but destroying us.")

The one thing that struck me is that Andressen doesn't see himself as an 'activist'. This is a pejorative that he applies to the little people who have the effrontery to express political views when they ought to be sucking up to him, like in the good old days ("When do I get promoted, and how much do I get paid, and when do I end up running the company?").
They will die natural deaths much earlier and peacefully without all kinds of mental/physical decline if beyond retirement age, they just stop taking any medication.

Especially if they have no plan to do anything other than prolong their own lives for no reason.

I can understand seniors who are active and have something going on in their lives. But if you spend time around hospitals/pharmacies the number of seniors who have nothing going on other than making hospital/pharmacy visits is ridiculous. Its like they are kept alive cause docs and pharma companies can keep them alive. Not for any other reason.
There are a very large number of posts which follow the format of the parent post, each clearly aiming to make TikTok appear equivalent to US-owned social media platforms, while ignoring the actual issue that TikTok is an active propaganda arm of the CCP.

TikTok's manipulation of the feed has been proven through extensive public studies:
https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/tiktok-is-just-the-beginning

The pressing need to ban it on security grounds likely extends further into non-public knowledge - Let us not forget that in the current political landscape it's pretty hard to get both major parties to agree on anything, then to actually also vote that way: but that's what happened with regard to TikTok.
What are you talking about? X introduced this fantastic feature called Community Notes that allows users to collaboratively add context and fact-checks to potentially misleading posts. It relies on a crowdsourced system where contributors can write notes that are displayed if they receive enough support from users with diverse perspectives. And Meta recently announced that it is planning on introducing a similar feature.
The name will remain the same; most users probably won't even notice any difference.
Historically, and in theory, Japanese culture did and does value the elderly highly.

There was a classified briefing on Tiktok presented to Congress last year about why it is a threat to national security. No doubt the Intelligence Community had a good look inside Tiktok/Bytedance's network and determined it is not something we should allow to operate in this country.

Yeah there's some default production-ready presets for widely-compatible MP4s which I use every time I need to edit on Vegas Pro. In the "Video" tab there's also a "fast decode" toggle which is useful to me.

Never had any issues since I switched to this particular workflow. Vegas (and I presume most editing software) is particularly anal about formats, especially when you need real time previews.

You can always add some extra command line options if you need to. It's just much easier to work with a GUI when the system is as complex as ffmpeg.
I'm a happy wasm user, last week I was looking at adding support for psd file on my app [1], the choices was in between using a full js lib that is almost 1MB large, doesn't work very well and is slow OR leverage some C stuff. Without any kind of optimisation, the wasm version is 10 times faster and 5 times smaller and that's before digging through SIMD. There will always people complaining about a lot of things but wasm is already fine enough for a lot of use cases
