Creating a false equivalency between intolerance of the intolerant and intolerance of others / other groups is a key rhetorical device for fascists.

Even if you've walked to this position through "logic" and a concept of perfectly spherical human beings [0], with no steps through fascism, you should be aware of how this position is used by fascists to give themselves a veneer of rationality while painting their opponents as irrational.

So the strategy is to cut taxes and revenue and balloon the deficit, then declare that spending is out of control and constitutes emergency measures to fix.

I think this kind of thing is interesting from a social media "elasticity" type perspective. How quickly could can / will people move from a large social network to another (regardless of the reasons) or just not use it anymore?

The fact that "yeah but a significant number of users always could just leave" is always out there but I'm not sure we have much info on how, when, why, how likely it is for these things to occur.

I also wonder how much celeb impact there is, if any, vs just volume of acquaintances. I suspect different networks are different in that regard.

You... you realise that that's a work of fiction, right? And even given that it is a work of fiction, the character in question has every reason to lie about this!

Something like this is a bit of a recurrent myth on the far-right, though. Possible origins: https://fullfact.org/online/wind-turbines-energy/

In real life, wind turbines pay back the energy cost of construction in 6 months to a couple years, depending on scale, placement, etc etc.

This is not a new tactic, incidentally; back in the day, people used to, bizarrely, make much the same claim about _nuclear_ plants, too! It's, I suppose, not a _bad_ tactic; it's the sort of thing that sounds clever if one happens to be rather stupid, even though if you do the numbers it should be obvious that it cannot possibly be the case.
If you cannot argue your points succinctly here without ad hominem attacks, I presume they aren't strong enough to stand on their own.

A rebuttal of "markets don't work because monopolies might form!" doesn't make sense when the alternative is to make everything a monopoly in the form of top-down government control.

Several different tracks, having a hard time focusing on one.

- A little free library, but for e-books. Having a bit of trouble with this one because I think that the move to e-books inherently removes much of the magic of a little free library of physical books. Plus there's the whole "letting users upload things is hard" thing.

- E-ink picture frame. It's been done before and it's mainly just a use for an old rpi laying around.

- Looking to start a tech meetup in my small locale. It's hard to meet tech people in my area, let alone people who are willing to present.

- TUIs to aid me in my day job. Claude makes whipping up proofs of concept super easy and quick, so this one is the most fun to me right now.

If you run an "agency" business then you should always be promoting junior employees to full partner. They start our doing work that you find for them, but after a few years of training from you they are now bringing in their own work and should be treated like an independent business owner in your space that you agree not to compete with (which would be against monopoly laws if you were not the same company) and once in a while one covers for the other for vacations/sick. Lawyers regularly change the name of their company to reflect changes in who is partner.

Not all employees become full partners. Most do not, but it should be clear to everyone what hard work is required to become a partner and they should see examples of it happening.

A note on one of the changes: "New package EditorConfig. This package provides support for the EditorConfig standard..."

Honestly the only reason to use this, and don't get me wrong, it's a huge reason, is to ensure windows users don't add CRLFs in their commits, and mess up diffs. Set `end_of_line = lf` and you're done.

`charset = utf-8` and `trim_trailing_whitespace = true` are also nice, but not as disruptive as `end_of_line`.

The other (indentation related) functionality should honestly be handled by language specific linters instead, as they can be syntax aware and allow for better control. I always disable those in practice.

This is the CLI tool to use during CI: https://github.com/editorconfig-checker/editorconfig-checker
> And narrative of EOA being funded by China, Thailand, India is false. EOA had nad alliance and bargain with those nation to, they have to buy the weapons and do the trades but none of them funded and controlled by those bigger powers

I agree to a certain extent. The EOAs were created by individual Myanmarese who faced the brunt of the regime (a major reason as you mentioned behind the PDF movement), but at least in Chin, Saigang, and Kachin the EOAs do have to collaborate closely with India or China (Intel, weapons, medical care) because they have significant investments which changes the calculus, and worst case justify limited cross-border interventions (but both Chinese and Indian have done so a number of times)

> We are in progress to restore democracy but a lot of us are suffering. No western power help us. We are mostly on our own

Absolutely. I think what the PDFs are doing is extremely difficult and admirable, but a lot of the EOAs are not necessarily aligned with the PDF movement and in a lot of cases collaborated with the Junta.
> It will be so expensive to ride this. Only rich people will be able to afford it.

If the price is around that of an equivalent airplane flight, I don’t see the problem here.

How expensive to ride do you expect it to be? You have a reason to believe it will cost significantly more than an airplane flight?

Yeah, but most programmers prefer to do 8h programming instead of 4h programming + 4h marketing, or even worse, now they have to do 6h programming + 4h marketing. Most programmers are bad at marketing, it's like painting and making music. There are people who can do everything, but it's not common.

Maybe not, but it's okay to not be the very best, and it's okay to fail. And it's especially okay when comparing ourselves to one of the few dozen names from before the Julian calendar that everyone still remembers to this day!

I'm not sure. Because the moment you enter the system room, the ecosystem is a completely different universe.

You can't easily sell "Good / Better / Best" version of a single model, and tell "These are the options, take it or leave it". Servers are customized to the screws they come with and are expanded throughout over the years. So, the logistics are somewhat different for these kinds of devices.

Plus, macOS is not a CLI first operating system for server operations, and macOS Server is not updated for some years. Allowing Linux would be a different offering, and allowing macOS to work with all kinds of hardware from ordinary Ethernet to 100G+ Ethernet and 400gbps Infiniband (plus all the other interconnects) will be a fun exercise in testing flexibility of both macOS and Apple development teams.

So it's quite complicated. All servers are built to order SKUs. Dell keeps configurations "per server" in their databases, for example. If you have a Dell server, enter its service tag to support site, and you'll get the configuration of the device as it left the factory.
Claude 3.7 Sonnet leak reveals Anthropic's most advanced AI to debut on AWS
This is kind of what I mean,

"Oh, it was quite a while ago. I kind of stopped when C came out. That was a big blow. We were making so much good progress on optimizations and transformations. We were getting rid of just one nice problem after another. When C came out, at one of the SIGPLAN compiler conferences, there was a debate between Steve Johnson from Bell Labs, who was supporting C, and one of our people, Bill Harrison, who was working on a project that I had at that time supporting automatic optimization...The nubbin of the debate was Steve's defense of not having to build optimizers anymore because the programmer would take care of it. That it was really a programmer's issue.... Seibel: Do you think C is a reasonable language if they had restricted its use to operating-system kernels? Allen: Oh, yeah. That would have been fine. And, in fact, you need to have something like that, something where experts can really fine-tune without big bottlenecks because those are key problems to solve. By 1960, we had a long list of amazing languages: Lisp, APL, Fortran, COBOL, Algol 60. These are higher-level than C. We have seriously regressed, since C developed. C has destroyed our ability to advance the state of the art in automatic optimization, automatic parallelization, automatic mapping of a high-level language to the machine. This is one of the reasons compilers are ... basically not taught much anymore in the colleges and universities."

-- Fran Allen interview, Excerpted from: Peter Seibel. Coders at Work: Reflections on the Craft of Programming

C's victory is more related to not having anything else as compiled language in the box than anything else regarding its marvelous technical capabilities, so worse is better approach, use C.

Even more so, when Sun started the trend that UNIX development tooling was paid extra, and it only contained C and C++ compilers, for additional compilers like Fortran and Ada, or IDE, it was even a bit more extra on top.

Which other UNIX vendors were quite fast to follow suit.
Environmentally irresponsible, yeah.

Unsafe, depends. It's definitely less safe than going slower. Agree on that. In my eyes,however, "unsafe" depends on traffic, weather, road, vehicle, experience, etc. 200 in a Polo is sketchy, 200 in a clapped out Polo with cheap, old all seasons is an emotional experience, 200 on a bike is the top of 3rd gear, 200 in an M4/911 is about the same.

Speed limiters, if we're talkiing about the same implementation (not Volvo being Volvo), came more so as a means of upselling (AMG driver's pack or whatever they called it) and to keep people from doing speeds unsafe even on a closed course in the very long overdrive gears.

I'm also not about to go 140 because the Autobahn (+Nordschleife) might get a speed limit. If there's a speed limit added, I'll follow it to the best of my ability but I don't believe I'm being particularly asocial by staying in the left and giving it some chooch when I believe it's safe to do so. I'm not weaving, I flash very, very rarely, on the bike I'll only kill myself most likely, with the cars I'm even more careful with traffic since I can't squeeze by and am much more likely to hurt others in an accident, when doing a top speed run I abort if there's traffic in the next lane, if I'm going out to do one I do so at 2-3AM in bumfuck nowhere..

Anyway, what I meant was that, while I haven't done any scientific testing, it seemed like the Tesla's range was impacted much more by high speed driving than ICEs I've driven despite being very low drag. It was like an old Trailblazer I had where you'd see the fuel arrow start moving ever so slightly when you floored it but with a percentage.
This is a huge selling point, and it will really differentiate the orgs that adopt it from those who don’t. Eventually the whole organization will become as inscrutable as the agents that operate it. From the executive point of view this is indistinguishable from having human knowledge workers. It’s going to be interesting to see what happens to an organization like that when it faces disruptive threats that require rapid changes to its operating model. Many human orgs fall apart faced by this kind of challenge. How will an extra jumbo pattern matcher do?
I don't think he really blames ECT for what has happened to him. It's more like "ECT didn't fix it either", which is a possibility - ECT isn't a guaranteed cure. For example:

> They [the NHS] couldn’t prevent this. Hundreds of hours of therapy couldn’t prevent this. A large network of friends and family checking in with me constantly over the last year didn’t prevent this. Psychiatric hospitals certainly couldn’t prevent this. ECT couldn’t prevent this. The only person who could have prevented this was me.

And the memory loss he's talking about (which is indeed a common side effect of ECT) doesn't seem to be as severe as he claims to be. For one he is actually able to recall the events of his life well enough to write this letter. For another he has abused ketamine to the point of having a month long psychosis episode that ended in involuntary stay in a mental hospital, which could have had its own effects. For yet another depression itself slowly erases memories.
It feels like a low-quality article in which the author is writing about a scientific topic but has no qualifications or expert knowledge (and therefore making wrong conclusions due to their lack of understanding around the research they cite). I don't understand why people feel the need to publish such blogs.
well, LSD is not safe either. Of 3 people I took it with, in high dose, for various reasons, only one of us left the encounter better off and largely unscathed. Professional psychiatric help doesn't have great odds either but they're significantly better than an anecdotal 1/4, and when things go wrong people tend to know why and how to help. Leave the research and unproven chemicals to the researchers I guess?
High speed rail is not a luxury, it's quite the opposite. Labour is the biggest long term expense, even after construction, so it's actually cheaper to operate faster trains. The current trip time is 10-12 hours, multiplied by the wages of a large cabin crew.
Guys - just a little critical thinking here - how do we know these are not fake? They're screenshots. Why didn't they just link to the Grok conversation if it's real? Trying this on Grok doesn't produce the same results, and it's easy to get it to talk bad about both Trump and Elon. It's very important right now that you step back and look for empirical evidence of what you're being lead to believe before you swallow it and make it part of your worldview. Know that you are biased to believe things that agree with your preexisting worldview, and that can be very easily taken advantage of. If you can't verify something, you need to throw it out.

It matters because it becomes very quickly obvious. And the moment that it becomes obvious that you are not playing against an opponent that tries to use cunning and strategy, but merely an equation - a puzzle - which you have to solve, the entire house of cards comes down. Puzzle games can be fun, but the very people in this thread are arguing that CIV games are not about being a puzzle, but about roleplaying a civilization. There's a puzzle aspect of course, but a blatantly cheating AI is just a puzzle and nothing else.

It matters for the same reason that people don't want to play against a human-like AI, because that AI would be a double crossing bastard who tries to win at all costs. They want to play against a roleplaying AI who tries to appear like Ghenghis Khan or Tutanchamon. But if I see my sworn enemy Attila the Hun spawn in an endless stream of battering rams out of thin air, and yet is so utterly incompetent and dumb that it cannot navigate a simple pass between mountains, that's a worse transgression against my suspension of disbelief than if he was just plain bad at the game.

I took a lot of math in my schooling, and have continued using math on a daily basis in my engineering career. I even subscribe to many math channels on YouTube, but this is the first time in my life that I've even heard of this function. I know there aren't real rules to this puzzle, but this function doesn't seem well-known at all.
And if you look how that mess started out you had cross site scripting on the frontend because html allowed you to inject more javascript from everywhere and SQL injection on the backend because you had to translate your input from one language to another with tools that went out of their way to interpret data as commands.

The modern web is a gigantic mess with security features hacked on top of everything to make it even remotely secure and the moment it hit the desktop thanks to electron we had cross site scripting attacks that allowed everyone to read local files from a plugin description page. If anything it is the ultimate proof how bad things can go.

Very cliched, but I am working on my own Lisp dialect. I want a more streamlined syntax and keywords, but keep the "batteries included" idea from CL. So, Scheme/Clojure syntax with a CL live image approach, including condition systems, and a fleshed out standard library.

Initially was aiming to use MLIR or at least LLVM but will probably try to handroll to a) reduce dependencies and b) as a learning experience.

The bootstrapped is written in CL with no dependencies and hopefully soon it will be self-hosted.
I think it makes sense to have a preference for a single language in code bases when all of your developers only have one language in common and are not interested in learning any more languages in the future. That doesn't necessarily make it a golden rule.

However, in my work I've seen plenty of developers with all manner of interests and experiences align only on one or two languages, and if that's your company's talent pool, single language code bases seem like a good idea.

Of course this skips over all the usage of scripting languages (makefile/bash/Python/XML) which in my experience are seen as quirks of build tooling rather than part of the product.
