You're completely right..

The left is afraid to invest in men's issues out of fear of suppressing efforts of uplifting women. It's a fallacy.

To thread this needle, the left can and should frame men's advocacy as a form of women's health issues. Men and women are obviously interdependent... healthy men means healthy women.

Another good first step is acknowledging the biological differences that influence men to behave the way they do (testosterone, being one major factor).. but things like this starts to complicate other ideologies about sex and gender.. it's a mess..
I’m not sure it neutralizes it for everyone. Dem staffers have mentioned how Biden was mentally declining for the last few years and that it was denied and covered up by the party leaders. There have been allegations that a few people close to him have basically run the last administration by using the auto pen instead of him. I’m not sure if that can ever be proven. But my point is I think this tactic of undoing pardons may be a thing specific to Biden’s situation.
So what? Let them crank on, it's no less productive than most career researchers, collecting data on the 10,000th subdegree of some nested abstraction. (It is good to have some number of people doing that!) To me the two seem to actually be extremely similar behaviors except one is blessed by the church and the other is heterodoxy.

I used Facebook back in 2005. I was in high school, it was cool.

In 2006, my friend (who went to Temple in Scarsdale, NY with the Zuckerberg family) told me in no uncertain terms that Mark was easily the biggest egotistical asshole he'd ever met - a highly intelligent but deeply unethical jerk and overall not a good person. I stopped using Facebook then and there.

I then found out that the Winklevoss twins were involved. I'm from their hometown. They are not good people. I haven't touched a Meta/FB product since then save for WhatsApp. My business has an IG page but I don't touch it.
You do, there is just a greater gain factor constant.
> Intelligence is closely related to the concept of attractiveness and gravitas.

Interesting. I wonder why you make this connection. Do you know?

Your choice of definition seems to be what I would call "perception of intelligence". But why add that extra layer of indirection; why require an observer? I claim this extra level of indirection is not necessary. I eschew definitions with unnecessary complexity (a.k.a "accidental complexity" in the phrasing of Rich Hickey).

Here are some examples that might reveal problems with the definition above:

- DeepBlue (decisively beating Kasparov in 1997) showed a high level of intelligence in the game of chess. The notion of "being good at the game" is simpler (conceptually) than the notion of "being attractive to people who like the game of chess". See what I mean?

- A group of Somali pirates working together may show impressive tactical abilities, including the ability to raid larger ships, which I would be willing to call a form of tactical intelligence to achieve their goals. I grant the intelligent behavior even though I don't find it "attractive", nor do I think the pirates need any level of "gravitas" to do it. Sure, the pirates might use leadership, persuasion, and coordination to accomplish their goals but these concepts are a means to an end accomplishing the goal. But these traits are not necessary. Since intelligent behavior can be defined without using those concepts, why include them? Why pin them to the definition?

- The human brain is widely regarded as a intelligent organ in a wide variety of contexts relating to human survival. Whether or not I find it "attractive" is irrelevant w.r.t. intelligence, I say. If the neighboring tribe wants to kill me and my tribe (using their tribally-oriented brains), I would hardly call their brains attractive or their methods being nuanced enough to use "gravitas".

My claim is then: Intelligence should be defined by functional capability which leads to effectiveness at achieving goals, not by how we feel about the intelligence or those displaying it.
Well that's a technical choice depending on the context, but I can list some of the advantages of HPKV:

-Persistent by default without any performance penalties

-The pub/sub feature which is unique to HPKV and allows for a bi-directional websocket connection from clients to database

-Lower cost as we need less expensive infrastructure to provide the same service

-Simple API to use
Wealth inequality isn’t simply a side effect of capitalism—it’s structurally necessary thanks to the division of society into two classes, capitalists and workers.

I do agree that a capitalist economic system isn’t alone in manifesting inequality. I would further acknowledge that under capitalism the amount of wealth inequality differs from one capitalist society to the other. Yet the present levels of inequality we see around us are nearly unprecedented.

You blame greed. But capitalism enshrines the profit motive. It incentivizes capitalists to maximize profit regardless of the effect on the working class even if that means bribing politicians or whatever. Greed is a central feature of capitalism, not some personal failing to be explained at the individual level.

Meanwhile, neoliberal deregulation has been enacted for the last 45 years. What are the effects of this? Real working-class wages have remained stagnant while the wealth gap has drastically increased. Should we believe the answer is more deregulation?

Under a deregulation ideology, the wealthy push for deregulation when it suits them on the one hand while benefiting from and expanding government influence on the other (subsidies, bailouts, regulatory capture, etc.). That’s why after 45 years of a deregulatory ideology operating at the highest levels of our governments, subsidies and regulatory capture still exist.

Consider the present moment. Elon Musk slashes government spending while receiving millions from the federal government. This is not a bug. It’s a central feature of this ideology.

We may have different members of the upper class at the wheel now, but they are still using the same siren’s call of deregulation to justify their policies, ostentatiously reducing government influence in some areas while tactically expanding it in others - not just handouts to Trump’s cronies but also expansion of executive powers and erosion of civil liberties.

Back in the day, people didn't even know Amiga 1200 could output VGA resolutions. Also, you needed a special adaptor cable which I only saw home-made versions of.

The Commodore monitors which were released at the time intended for use with A1200/A4000, the 1940 and 1942, had a permanently attached 15-pin VGA cable. I know because I have one for my A1200.

These monitors were dual-sync 15 and 31 KHz devices, and were perfectly usable as a VGA monitor with a PC. Probably not a lot of PC users bought them.

But if you bought the 1940 for use with the Amiga 1200, you couldn't plug it into the computer without a 15->23 pin adapter. I'm sure it came with the adapter in the box, but still...
A company can't operate without a source of income. Even a non-profit still needs a source to keep the lights on.

In the case of DeepSeek, I believe it is being used as a tool by the CCP to collect data, propaganda and as an economic weapon in hindering western AI projects. So DeepSeek can make this claim if they are being secretly subsidised by the CCP.

>Honestly, I’ll be surprised if this turns out to be any different than all of the other “explosive tell-all memoirs” of the past. These books usually play into people’s desire to believe that the enemy of their enemy is their friend. Then you read the book and realize that the author is trying really hard to paint themselves as an outsider despite being suspiciously involved with the people you’re supposed to dislike.

Great point. You're probably spot-on.

Well that's nice - a service that can recognise for example that if someone is looking for a brochure or parts list or operators manual for a product, saves the user time, instead of showing the other 100 items that are not wasting the user's time.

I had a look but I can't comment how good it is - which is where launching a site or web service becomes tricky. IMO, the site needs a fall back keyboard key to launch the query to get around a non functional script (for sending off the query.) I am probably the one in a thousand user who has an extensive deny list, which includes a handful of api services. No doubt it works ok for those who have the latest systems and a phone model that's only just been released.

Many years ago there used to be services that offered virtual browser / environments so developers could test as much as they could themselves but with the advent of smart phones made it just a bit too hard offer a comprehensive range.

Not entirely a counter, but i think it's worth remembering that because documentation is difficult - a lot of people have been trained to ignore documentation by way of documentation not being the answer in far too many cases.

I'm sure there are many people whose behavior is driven by the reasons you give, though.
Describing an annotated ASM program is something I would have thought LLMs should be perfect for, but it failed immediately. The author really published a whole blog post without even mentioning that core business logic wasn't working.

I admittedly don't really understand the purpose behind any of the intermediate LLM steps here. I'd have assumed an ASM to ASM translation would make the most sense and be the least error prone.

I remember looking at BLS statistics 10-15 years ago and pondered why they meant by "programmer" vs "software developer" jobs. After all, even back then, programmers were on the decline.

This isn't the difference between a cucumber and a grape. It's the difference between a grape, for which you sell most of your time to earn, and the ones who own the means by which those grapes are produced, who have been given better circumstances to own those vinyards by their parents and their parents parents, and their parents parents parents, in which each generation has done atrocious acts to remain in possession of the vineyard and where each vineyard worker is squeezed into getting fewer and fewer grapes (or grapes which are simply worth less, due to an overall higher number of grapes) where the vineyard owners have influenced the policy makers that should be ensuring the power of the vinyard owners isn't so absolute and abusive such that they can keep moving the window to keep paying even less grapes.

Meanwhile, some people are told that, because the vinyard owner doesn't like their identity, they should get no grapes at all.

But lets drop the absolutely ridiculous metaphors. It's not grapes. It's not animals. It's money, and power, and lives, and freedom. It's conflicting freedoms, as some wish to be free to impede the freedoms of others.

Let me quote someone else here,

For example

While their CEO Jeff Bezos has so much ducking money that if you count it by one number every second, everyday, without sleep, it would take you over thirty years just to count up to the amount of money he has?
Oh no, wait a second, I misread that
He actually has one hundred and eighty-five times that amount
He has more money than the human mind is capable of imagining
More than anyone could ever spend in multiple lifetimes
And that's just the money we know about
Because remember in 2015
It was headline news across the world
A global conspiracy by the financial elite to hide trillions of dollars in unreachable, illegal bank accounts in Panama
And what happened there?
Oh yeah

This entire article misses the mark to the point of malice. I find it hard to engage in civil manner with something so belittling of the situation that we all are living though. This posted the day after peaceful protesters in Syria fighting corruption were blasted with sonic weapons. During a take over of the US government by the richest man in the world facing no accountability as he upends the lives of countless government workers just doing their job.

Yeah, I want my damn grapes. I want my fair share of grapes. I want my fair amount of influence in society to ensure I and my fellow people get enough grapes that they can live happy and healthy lives.

Europe should focus on sustainable chip production as sector emissions rise
> Hess said it was not clear if Europe should continue pursuing cutting-edge production.

> "If the EU wants to double down on cutting-edge chip production, this will significantly affect the climate and environment (given these chips have much higher emissions and energy consumption) per wafer," she said.

I think this article is very interesting solely for doubting whether Europe should continue pursuing chip production. Of course it should. The point about significantly affecting the climate and environment is questionable. Compared to industries like shipping, chip production plays only a minor role in the climate and the environment. Even more, the idea that cutting-edge chips are more polluting as the article suggests is even more absurd, since cutting-edge chips of course have a lower energy use over their lifetime.

It really makes me wonder who is paying for this article. And I think it's good if we critically discuss "technological" articles like this.
That's the more modern, more cynical manifestation. I remember what it was like before this overwhelming cynicism became normal.
There's some cool stuff & capabilities here. Its surprising to me that uptake has been so slow.

Node.js just posted an update on the state of QUIC, which underlies http3 & has had some work over the years. They're struggling with openssl being slow to get adequate API support going. There's efforts that have working books for quic, but the prospect of switching is somewhat onerous.

Really unfortunate; so much of this work has been done for Node & there's just no straightforward path forwards.

Physics is the poster child of a discipline that knows its foundations are wrong. Basically every physicist understands that our current theories are full of holes and a new way of thinking is needed.

Git interprets a zero byte as an unconditional sign that a file is a binary file [0]. With other “nonprintable” characters (including the high-bit ones) it depends on their frequency. Other tools look for high bits, or whether it’s valid UTF-8. PDF files usually have a comment with high-bit characters on the second line for similar reasons.

These recommended rules cover various common ways to check for text vs. binary, while also aiming to ensure that no genuine text file would ever accidentally match the magic number. The zero-byte recommendation largely achieves the latter (if one ignores double/quad-byte encodings like UTF-16/32).

What a bizarre thing to say: not every optimization is imperceptable by humans (jpg, gzip, brotli, JS and CSS payload bundling and minification, etc. etc.) and not all sums of optimizations add up to "something significant in terms of human perception".

HTTP/3 is a good optimization, and you can't sell it based on "it improves things for humans" because it doesn't. It improves things for machines, and given that essentially all internet traffic these days is handled by large scale machine systems, that's a perfectly sufficient reason for adoption.

(EX from a company I worked with: https://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?t=30365)

The writers can't do their work without input from the technical side and the time for that is often not avaliable.

I know I've been punished for taking time to push ideas to tech writers. Not only does it slow me down in other places, it often gets swept away as unnecessary changes because upstream Sr techs disagree.

For example, when I modify ssl configs, I alway reference the files with soft-links. This makes it so you don't need to modify the config files and simplifies keeping old and new certs so you can flip back during the overlap period you should be providing to test.
I try to avoid editing production files by hand whenever possible because in my experience it introduces the possibility to create errors.

I rewrote some docs extending alot of areas with example commands showing how to test things, with explanations that fleshed out the previous quick and dirty documentation. I also modified the method from copy and replace certs, edit files, restart service; to copy files, replace or create soft-link, restart service.

Upstream approvers trashed the whole thing because the thought it was unnecessary and disagreed with me about manually editing config files.

> C has to make a syscall to the kernel which ultimately results in a BIOS interrupt to implement printf,

That's not the case since the late 1990s. Other than during early boot, nobody calls into the BIOS to output text, and even then "BIOS interrupt" is not something normally used anymore (EFI uses direct function calls through a function table instead of going through software interrupts).

What really happens in the kernel nowadays is direct memory access and direct manipulation of I/O ports and memory mapped registers. That is, all modern operating systems directly manipulate the hardware for text and graphics output, instead of going through the BIOS.
