Funny how you call trump administration fascist. (theoretically its anti fascist but its still bad ,

Taking from the description of the video since this was what immediately ringed when you said trump===fascism

The liberal theory of the rise of Trumpism and its supposed fascistic features is inadequate in both effectively analysing and offering solutions to the present situation. Liberals often personalise or individualise people like Donald Trump and Elon Musk, casting them as deviations, as opposed to manifestations of class society. Class analysis suggests that fascism was a unique response to growing anti-capitalist organisations, socialist and/or anarchist, gaining prominence and posing threats to the economic base. The owning class required a mass movement which enveloped otherwise disillusioned people into a political project which had the collectivist, anti-free market appeal that socialist and anarchist organisations had, but nonetheless committed to solidifying and strengthening the economic base and profit motive. In modern America, no such anti-capitalist threat exists. Neoliberalism has created significant disillusionment with mainstream social and political institutions and systems, but this disillusionment hasn’t been captured by anti-capitalist forces, but rather by the populist right. As such, the populist right doesn’t need to give up the economic game, i.e. free markets, deregulation, privatisation, austerity, etc (with the exception of tariffs), but can purely rely on minorities as scapegoats in a constructed culture war, such as immigrants, ‘wokeness’, transgender people, etc. Therefore, capital doesn’t need to be subordinated to the nation-state, like pursued by contemporary fascist governments. Rather, in this ‘inverted’ fascism, capital takes over and exploits the state in a rather oligarchic manner.

This video is really great , I spent 10 minutes looking for this.

I am not a trump supporter , The title might be a little clickbaity (basically the opposite of what it really is) You might find it really great.

It is one of the best videos I have ever watched on politics.
Yes, they do. They wouldn't say it, but look at how autistic people get treated by their peers, teachers, and bosses.
Changing the rules so gov employees can be fired "at will" is an explicit goal of Project 2025
> What is the point of all of this?

Just my opinion, but the most obvious motives seem to be:

* Breaking the back of the institutional opposition Trump experienced in his previous term

* Flexing strength and creating a narrative of unitary executive power
> This meatwave meme needs to die.

Are you sure it's a meme, though? There is plenty of footage out there, documenting meat wave tactics in 4k. Have you been living under a rock?

> Again ,if Ukrainians are being beaten by guy in crutches (...)

What's your definition of "being beaten"? Three years into Russia's 3-day invasion of Ukraine and Ukraine started invading and occupying Russian territory. Is this your definition of being beaten?
You need 16 cores and 16MB+ of memory to control a toaster? A water heater? The washing machine? At the cheapest possible BoM and low power usage?

Because that's the kind of stuff an 8-bit micro does.
As I read their message, the point is that non-meat eaters have more problems with the unethical ways to farms than the killing itself or the process to eat another animal. Those two last points may be used in punchlines but if you discuss with the speaker you’ll ear way more about the raising condition that the instant they animal is killed.

I enjoy some well-prepared tofu - I just had some last night, actually - but for most people, it is absolutely not an adequate substitute for eggs without seriously compromising on flavor and utility (i.e. baking.)
>you have to disregard at least 26 [1] public allegations of rape if you want to give him a pass,

Allegations mean little, and for celebrities they tend to pile up proportionate to their fame. We live in a society that has absolutely no disincentives for false allegations of rape, and that has only grown more true the last few decades.

Instead of disregarding 26 allegations, one has to wonder why anyone would regard them in the first place. Furthermore, for many people, their regard/disregard is highly selective and comes down to the politics of the accused.
You're delegating powers to the President that would normally require an act of congress. The sanctions against Iran are a relatively tame example, there's 46 other national emergencies that give the President far more power.

Here's some good reading:

They successfully argued the President can just attack other countries whenever he wants, so long as it's part of fighting "terrorism".
Dealing with people and communication can be learned.

I get it. By nature I was very much an introvert except for certain scenarios when I was in my comfort zone until at least my mid 30s. I was an only child, the stereotypical short, fat kid with a computer growing up in the 80s (still short, became a gym rat, part time fitness instructor and only stopped the latter as my other obligations became greater). Horrible dating life and a bad first marriage before turning 35 (happily remarried since then).

It became apparent that to get ahead in my career, “codez real gud” was going to limit my career. I slowly learned how to “act like I like people”.

But you can only add so much value to an organization typing on a keyboard. There is a reason that every single tech company promotes based on “impact”, “scope”, “dealing with ambiguity”. Those all require soft skills.
Thanks for the heads up - that basically means my project would only work on the Valve or similar, i.e. PCVR.

The intention is to render (no complex textures) many pipes and objects in BabylonJS WebXR and be able to navigate that world using a VR headset. I've tried a smaller version on a Quest and basically it was not usable.

So at least my current approach will need a PC-backed VR headset.
That won't work. Look at planning done for city evacuation in the past.
Not really. There are a lot of hints that anyone who used nukes will be wiped off the earth if they ever use them. Nukes are useful to North Korea to show they can make them - that is bragging rights, not generally not useful in war.
As a fan of the Wheel of Time and Lord of the Rings, this doesn't bode well.
A few years ago 18 eggs was just under $2.50. Today that same 18 eggs is $9.36. If your family goes through a lot of eggs, it can have a significant impact on your budget.

For example, a family of 4 might use a dozen eggs a day for breakfast. End of the week that could be 6 dozen eggs. When prices were cheap that’s $15, but now that would be just under $60. Quiet a tough pill to swallow for those on a budget.

They will play it safe on their first outing while chasing some sort if weird trend (“Bond should be Y with Z sensibilities”) making Bond’s next movie one for the trash. I’m not worried about “wokeness” or whatever the trolls are whining about these days (making Bond black or gay is the least interesting addition to the character you could make, once you do that there is actually very little to examine). It will probably be Bond working with Alexa as the femme fatale or something dumb. “They got into our AWS account but thankfully Q had full sys-admin powers and Amazon security team helped us out.”

I pirate anything from these tech-streaming companies anyways. Go ahead do whatever.
They absolutely don't.

The average person is probably uncomfortable around autistic people because they don't know how to deal with them and, when you see someone like that, it's usually best to avoid interacting with them. Not because autistic people are dangerous but people acting out of the ordinary sometimes are.

The lumping in of nerdy with autistic is ridiculous too. The average person just doesn't care about your interests unless they are in common. Nerdy typically just means having a niche interest or hobby.

Your parent reeks of a persecution complex.
Bummer. T-2 years before it becomes an algorithmically-optimized so-so miniseries.

When we had the Canada fires months ago I bought a air quality sensor that measures among other things CO2. Right now shows 548 PPM which means good.

I once lit up one of those scented candles and the sensor fire up to over 1200 PPM.

It had a wooden wick. I think that was one of the reasons.
> The reason I still give them benefit of the doubt on their intentions is...because they did come out and say that 20% of the savings should go back to taxpayers as a refund and that 20% should go directly to reducing the debt. That being said, these are nice things that people would want to hear so I too am paying attention.

I'd rather the government keep the money and use it to pay for the many services that it provides. Like ensuring that I have clean water, unadulterated food, clean air, a functional banking system, healthcare, safe vehicles, making sure that unemployed people don't starve, researching infectious disease remediation, performing scientific research, maintaining national parks, making sure that kids have a baseline education, doing humanitarian work around the globe, and a thousand other things I don't have the time to enumerate.
Spot on. Reminds me of that old approach by evangelicals to frame scientific consensus as 'just a theory.'
Its so crazy.

Thanks a lot for sharing this link.
Cryptocurrency is so completely run-through with scams, top to bottom, that frankly it needs to become a criminal violation of fiduciary duty to go anywhere near it if you are managing other people's money (and they have not explicitly consented to invest in crypto stuff). Do you manage a bank, and you touch crypto? Arrested. Do you manage a pension fund, and you touch crypto? Arrested. Are you in charge of a trust, or in some other way a caretaker of someone else's money, and you touch crypto? Arrested.

This needs to be done loudly and often to make it very clear to everyone involved in the business of managing others' money that they should treat everything even remotely cryptocurrency-related as radioactive.
DOGE and POTUS are incentivized to follow through on this type of thing because it would increase good-faith in the masses big time. I don't think they'd renege on it. I'm certainly not naive! You can see that I've been contradicting DOGE on things since they became a thing. (@cyrsbel on X)
> Having a (targeted, scope and time-limited) design discussion or giving your candidate some made-up context around an engineering cycle and then doing a retrospective with them

You just described a contrived, “unreal” problem.

> I'm also not sure what the alternative is? Just not hiring?

The alternative is to come up with questions that are representative of skills related to “real problems”, as you just did, and use those instead. Unfortunately candidates consistently complain that such questions aren’t realistic.
> It would be interesting if you asked random people if they'd like to sit down and read something for 45mins how many people would accept.

I wouldn't expect many to do so, but I absolutely wouldn't expect people who declined to do the reading to stick around for the post-reading discussion.
I'm someone who hated leetcode style interviews for the longest, but I'm starting to come around on them. I get that these style of questions are easy to game, but I still think they have _some_ value. The point of these style of questions was supposed to test your ability to problem solve and come up with a good solution given the tools you knew. That being said, I don't think every company should be using this type of question for their interviews. I think leetcode style questions should be reserved for companies that are pushing the boundary of the industry since they're exploring charted territory and need people who can come up with unique solutions to problems no one really knows. I think most companies would be fine with some kind of pairing problem since most people are probably solving engineering problems instead of computer science problems. But none of this matters, since, we all know that even if we went that direction as an industry, the business people would fuck it up some how anyways.
I dislike pair programming interviews - as they currently exist - because they usually feel like a time-crunched exam. You don't realistically have the freedom to actually think as you would in actual pair programming. i.e. if you wag your tail chasing a bad end for 15 mins, this is a fail in an interview, but it's pretty realistic of real life work and entirely a non-problem. It's probably even good to test for at interview: how does a person work when they aren't working with an oracle that already knows the answer (ie: the interviewer)?

Pair programming with the person for a couple hours, maybe even on an actual feature, would probably work, assuming the candidate is compensated for their time. I can imagine it'd especially work for teams working on open source projects (Sentry, Zed, etc). Might not be as workable for companies whose work is entirely closed source.

Indeed, the other problem is what you mention: it doesn't scale to high throughput.
Synchronous packet transfer only solves the problem if you build a truly constant rate network. Traffic monitoring works when variances exist; your flow has to be fully homogeneous to provably secure against it. That means in your model your users would need to transmit and receive exactly 96kbps at all times when on net, and your nodes would talk to each other at 1024kbps at all times when on net. Otherwise, consider A->onion1->onion2->B – an attacker could potentially see the flow from onion1->onion2 decrease to 1 PPS sec when A isn't talking, and increase when A is.

Truly constant rate anonymity networks dramatically add resistance to passive traffic analysis, but they move users from a low-latency/high-throughput network to 56k dialup speeds :) Not only does this suck so most people won't use it, but the people who do chose to use it will glow neon bright to adversaries. The use of the system will be a strong indicator that, even if you don't know what the user is doing, the user is doing _something_ interesting.

And even if there was desire, these networks are intrinsically limited in size and scale if they want to maintain constant rate. Herbivore[0] is an interesting proposal in this space - use a DC-net partitioned into smaller cliques to give in-group anonymity but mass participation. And most use chaff packets – A has nothing to send so sends encrypted random data to maintain the constant rate guarantee... I'm trying to find the paper I read that suggests a global passive adversary who goes "hands on" in the network could use a combination of watermarks generated through packet dropping/artificial queues + knowledge of which packets are chaff to build a trace, but I'm struggling. If I do I'll drop it here.

For fun, go check out https://groups.google.com/g/alt.anonymous.messages – this is probably the classic example of a (very) high-latency but very strong anonymizing mix network.

We've needed reforms to civil service and the general schedule pay scale specifically for a long time now. One can hope that a future Congress could write a bill that resets government hiring and compensation practices in the wake of this administration, but perhaps that's a fantasy at this point.
There are ways to remediate your backyard enough to make it safe, but only if you really want chickens. You can do most (all?) of the labor yourself but the cost of materials will probably dwarf any savings from the eggs - especially since you probably already have better quality eggs available locally than what we Americans are used to, which I think is the real impetus for most people rearing chickens here.

The first step is to dig up a decimeter or two of soil (the more the better) from the area you want to build your chicken run and dispose of it safely which your city government should be able to advise you on. Next you deposit a layer of clay, 4-5 centimeters thick, wet it and compact it so that any weeds or grass growing in the area can’t grow roots down into the contaminated soil, then cover it up with uncontaminated dirt that you truck in (that last bit is usually the expensive part). You can also use cement instead of the clay and you probably want raised borders so the roots can’t grow laterally either.

My city provides mulch for free so I used that as most of the fill, compacted it, then just put cheap dirt over it. The big cost is testing afterwards to make sure it really is PFAS free but my family is paranoid and it’s a small price to pay for peace of mind.
This reminds me of the Orange Juice Test which was (along with my favorite, "Stop Metric Madness!") part of the recurring lore of The Whole Earth Catalog.

A major company has an annual meeting at a hotel at which all employees are expected to attend. The company's event planner gives the following spiel to the managers of prospective hotels:

Our CEO has a long-standing tradition. In the opening session of our annual meeting, he has us all raise a glass of freshly-squeezed orange juice. It must be freshly-squeezed. Can you provide 2,000 glasses of freshly-squeezed orange juice for our opening session?

If the manager says no, he doesn't get the contract.

If he says yes right away, he doesn't get the contract.

If he stops and thinks for a while before answering yes, he gets the contract.
If not intentional, then a happy side effect.

The goal is to destroy the state apparatus from the inside, to be replaced by private industry.
This is a great summary. When Mike wrote the message you linked, his conclusion was that you have to drop to assembly to get reasonable code for VM interpreters. Later we developed the "musttail" technique which was able to match his assembly language sequences using C. This makes C a viable option for VM interpreters, even if you want best performance, as long as your compiler supports musttail.

> they are able to perform more/better optimizations when looking at normal-sized functions rather than massive blocks

It's not the size of the function that is the primary problem, it is the fully connected control flow that gums everything up. The register allocator is trying to dynamically allocate registers through each opcode's implementation, but it also has to connect the end of every opcode with the beginning of every opcode, from a register allocation perspective.

The compiler doesn't understand that every opcode has basically the same set of "hot" variables, which means we benefit from keeping those hot variables in a fixed set of registers basically all of the time.

With tail calls, we can communicate a fixed register allocation to the compiler through the use of function arguments, which are always passed in registers. When we pass this hot data in function arguments, we force the compiler to respect this fixed register allocation, at least at the beginning and the end of each opcode. Given that constraint, the compiler will usually do a pretty good job of maintaining that register allocation through the entire function.
This is the norm for Gen Z. We don’t see it because children don’t set social norms where adults are present too, but with the oldest of Gen Z about to turn 30, you and I should expect to see this more and more, and get used to it. If every kid can handle it, I think we can, too.

I have a PhD in linguistics and have always been baffled by the lack of quality software for the types of data annotation workflows that linguists who do elicitation work with native speakers need to do. There's FLEx [0], but it's windows only and really not very good.
