Yes, narcissism combined with aggression is a dangerous combo.

In my experience though almost every one of these aggressive angry people is quietly ashamed of their anger. They may not even be aware of it themselves, but that shame is what keeps it held together. They can never approach their anger because it feels so deeply to them as if their identity is that aggressive angry person, and so attacking their anger only makes their very identity feel threatened (even if it's not an identity they want). Attacking people is actually a way of protecting themselves.

I've had this experience multiple times in my life with bullies. Somehow trying to understand them even in the face of their anger allows them to relax and let down the offensive (although that of course does not mean letting them cross my boundaries).

People who've learned that form of interacting with other people have almost certainly had difficult lives. That doesn't mean to excuse them and allow them to run riot over everyone else, but the thing is attacking them is counterproductive and only puts up their defenses.

The bully-victim dynamic happens because one person is used to crossing boundaries (even if it feels bad) and the other person is used to allowing their boundaries be crossed (even if it feels bad). The bully explicitly seeks out those who have (through no fault of their own) been taught to allow their boundaries to be crossed. In both cases the mistaken belief is the same - that crossing boundaries is normal.

I think ethics is what we are really talking about, not morality policing. If there was ethical enforcement and codification of generally acceptable ethical behavior to go along with it, you’d see changes.

I hold no hope of changing Elon Musk’s morales but making it hard to run directly counter to conducting yourself in an ethical manner would make his morales to a certain degree irrelevant as society / community standards would hold bad actors accountable and in check or face consequences

I live in the US and can't change my thermostat, so I don't think that's it.

I'm sure I could feel the difference if i split myself between two rooms with one degree difference. I just don't think this is a useful granularity—I typically move the thermostat by 2-5 degrees at a time.
No, because ultrasonic knives for home kitchen use don't exist, at least according to what I can find on Amazon.

That's why I said "equivalent". In other words, what you can actually buy instead.

Check the actual paper on the type of sorts it actually got speedup on :-) (hint: a few percentage points on larger n,similar to what pgo might find, the big speedup is for n around 8 or so, where it basically enumerated and found a sorting network)

You can get pretty far through imputation. SNPs can reveal plenty about the rest of your genome even if it hasn’t been directly sequenced. Reference populations and linkage disequilibrium go a long way.
AFAIK Debian OpenSSL was detected when two people had the same GitHub key and since GitHub identifies people by their key it conflicted.
My main observation in temperature scale and imperial lengths discussions om the Internet is that Americans seem to have a strange aversion against fractional parts of numbers, as if those were irrational.

(On the other hand a lot of Americans consume fava beans.)
Not legally, they can only do that if you implicitly agree by continuing to use the product.

If you don't interact in a meaningful way you cannot change a contract from one side you need a new agreement.

Now whether this is enforced is a different manner.

Not much of which is directly connected to digital audio as a specific thing, however.
>Outsourcing QA is stupid, but even more stupid and short-sighted is not having QA in the first place, and that unfortunately is becoming a norm.

Yes, they were moving in that direction. They centralized the QA team over a suite of probably 15 products, which means no one has any expertise. The QA VP would get mad when QA found bugs because "the dev's were supposed to find all the bugs and the QA was just supposed to just certify the release." The amount of people who don't understand how software dev works in high positions is mind boggling.

They ended up firing all the devs except me and this other guy who gave zero shits and wanted to be a manager. "We" maintained 3 products. Two were pretty standard web apps but one was a full blown decision support system (rules engine) that only I knew. I quit after a few months of killing myself. They paid me a whole lot of money a few years later when they were trying to add features to get a very lucrative government contract.

Or do cheap ECDSA instead of expensive RSA. Even if the backdoor is hidden inside RSA decryption and the rest of the system thinks the thing being decrypted should be encrypted with RSA, you don't have to use it for the back door.

For the record, "partitioning it" is exactly what you did if you used WSL2.
Pretty much every piece of technology we have known so far which had creator restrictions has been jailbroken. Sure the future might be Elon & Bezos androids, but what’s stopping us from jailbreaking them and using them off grid?
I guess being too close to the DAW-space, I tend not to think about codecs. Digital audio to me is conceptually "pure" PCM (or DSD), and most things that deals with that format do not do error correction that I can think of. S/PDIF is good counter-example, and possibly (for similar reasons) ADAT might be as well.

By contrast, most audio-over-IP formats do not (they rely on the IP-level checks).

Anyway, thanks for pointing out the rather important world filled with codecs that we actually live in.
When you're born. That is your birth day, because the person to whom you were born gave birth to you that day.

No culture I know of tracks the date of your conception as a measure of your age. If they measure it at all, the starting point is your birth.

You are zero days old on the day of your birth. Even if those cultures think you are "in the first year of your birth" for days 0-365 of your existence, they would accept that 1 day after your birth, you are 1 day old, not 9 months old.
> You might not know what an analogy is.

Yes, I do know what an analogy is.

It doesn't work because cutting off your legs is bad, obviously. But reducing dependence on cars is good for people who drive cars. It, quite literally, makes driving better. Less traffic, more parking, less accidents, less deaths, cleaner air.

> No matter how much we might wish we didn't need our legs, as long as people still have and need their legs, we should probably design our cities to accommodate those legs.

Our cities ARE still designed for cars. Moving away from car design is slow and painful. It took 100 years to get into this mess. There's no reason to lose our heads because of a fee, a fee mind you that still does not get anywhere close to covering the true cost of cars.

> Right now most people in the US don't have an option to replace their legs with something else that works just as well for them

You know where they do? New York City! Feel free to live in whatever suburban hellscape you like. This entire comment and ideology simply does not apply to New York City. There, car drivers are a small minority.
Fair warning, you are standing on the precipice of a very deep rabbit hole :-). My Dad was a 're-loader' (loaded his own ammunition) and molded his own bullets and had charts and graphs for an amazing set of things. I even built him a chronograph so that he could "know" the speed of a bullet as it left the gun.

Given that a 'zeroed in' sight will account for the drop and so points the barrel up slightly, some of the energy in a shot goes to lifting it "up" before it starts falling down. You might think that would make it take longer, but it's small. The sin of 0.5 degrees is only .00873 so less than 1% of "heading up" before heading down. The more 'up' you point it, the bigger the difference. But as the author points out, the impact of various factors varies. Dad was happy he could put three rounds from his 30-06 into a 3" target circle at 200 yds.
If I’m reading the code right, it support their hybrid model where your code can run in three places: the user’s browser, Vercel’s edge, and an actual server. It looks like the idea was for when code in the edge context to be able to call the server faster but it was not protected to keep anyone else from calling it directly.

If I he for that right, this is a security review failure since people perennially try that optimization and have it end poorly for reasons like this. It’s safer, and almost always less work, to treat all calls equally and optimize if needed rather than having to support an “internal” call type over the same interface.

I bought a pair of utterly ludicrous Monster stereo speaker cables off eBay a coyotes of decades ago, when I was putting together a home audio system.

Audio stereophile-wise, I could replace them with zip wire (two conductor, twisted 24-gauge cable). But they wouldn't have the neat nylon braided jacket, or shove things out of the way when I'm moving the speakers.

It was stupid but fun to add them to my setup, and now I'm glad I have them.

I also have some interconnect cables from Blue Jeans Cable, that fellow is awesome.

If Monster is suing him, may they burn in court.
Sustainable Future Self-sufficient towns?
Elon has suggested the vision of a "sustainable future"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkManNuuYog

This is a technology-maximized future. However, in the book
"This Civilisation is Finished: Conversations on the end of Empire - and what lies beyond"
we find that there are 3 likely near-term endgames for society

(1) This civilisation could collapse utterly and terminally, as a result
of climatic instability (leading for instance to catastrophic food short-
ages as a probable mechanism of collapse), or possibly sooner than
that, through nuclear war, pandemic, or financial collapse leading
to mass civil breakdown. Any of these are likely to be precipitated in
part by ecological/climate instability, as Darfur and Syria were. Or

(2) This civilisation (we) will manage to seed a future successor-civil-
isation(s), as this one collapses. Or

(3) This civilisation will somehow manage to transform itself delib-
erately, radically and rapidly, in an unprecedented manner, in time
to avert collapse.

The second option basically amounts to designing future towns that
are self-sufficient based on local production and consumption, perhaps
with trading skills with nearby towns. The towns could not rely on any
form of support they could not maintain. This includes virtually all
electronics.

It would be interesting to construct "guidelines" for structuring
a self-sustaining town.

For example, constructing a mechanical windmill that pumps water
to a man-made lake on very high ground. This is made from simple
technology (iron for pipes, geo-engineering, etc). It feeds a
simple filtration system constructed from rocks and soil. Deep
drilled holes could provide heated water. A food and barter economy
would prevail, etc.

Thoughts?
You got to think though, that "slow" bot to you is a residential ip address hitting one or two endpoints on your website, but to the bot, it's probably doing this to thousands or millions of sites at the same time.

Cloudflare is in a unique position to see enough of the Internet traffic to tell if that one ip address is browsing tens of domains at a time or thousands.
I got to play on a Vectrex back in the day, it was super-fun -- especially because I had worked at Cinematronix before that. I really wish Vectrex was more successful, but vector displays were just super-limited. The positive of being pseudo-high-res wasn't enough to overcome the fact that you literally couldn't draw more than about 40-80 lines (depending on how long the lines were and how far apart they were).
Given the way accessibility is often an afterthought at best, this is a really good question.

Would love to hear about some of the experiences that screen reader users and other folks who use assistive technology have with things like getting caught in the CloudFlare filters and other “human” verification systems.

It seems easy to get caught in the net of “bot detection” as a normal user, and some of the verification steps don’t always seem very accessible.
I was thinking it would be ironic and not totally implausible if DOGE pledging to find fraud ends up done for fraud.
Au contraire base 12 measurement is _all about the fractions_. 12 can be divided evenly by 2, 3, 4, and 6. Metric gets 5 and 2. By that measure it's y'all that are afraid of the small numbers.

US units are pinned to Metric standards anyway. We're just using the most creative ratios. :)
Ursula v.d. Leyen, the president of the European Commission, is not voted by the EU people the same way the US president is for example, she's appointed by the European Parliament's own elections who act sort of as a middle man.

So in that regard no, we don't have elected leaders, since Ursula, the de-facto EU leader, makes giant trade and political deals in our name, like regarding Covid and Ukraine, but none of us here voted for her, nobody likes her, she's been incompetent as German politician, she's incompetent and corrupt as an EU politician, she's been groomed since youth for this position due to her influential family, and yet we can't vote her out if we don't like it since we didn't vote for her to begin with.

So when someone you didn't vote for has sovereignty over you and your country, I'm not sure how people can look at this and say it's a democratic arrangement. Do you think a privileged upper class politician from Germany has any clue about the impact or struggles of the average citizen in say, Bulgaria, when she makes decisions for the whole EU?
To some extent it is decentralized is it not? Other than a small list of who serves which TLD you should be able to find the canonical nameserver for any domain.

It should be more normal for people to have a DNS running locally perhaps.

Yeah, I guess most existing Linux stuff that is actually configured (so not SELinux etc) is geared at system processes not user ones. Transparently running all user applications in properly isolated containers would be quite neat.

Does Firejail handle dynamic access (eg. I may want an xz invocation to work on my private keys, but not THIS specific one where I’ve given it a completely different file?).

I quite like pledge/unveil for this kind of thing on OpenBSD, although that’s for a different threat model.
It's amazing how long it takes these popular memes to catch up with with scientific progress.

The Dyson sphere and the Kardashev scale were brilliant ideas in their time, but today we know they are the wrong approach. Collecting solar energy in this way would be incredibly inefficient and expensive.

Once fusion becomes functional, it makes far more sense to use the sun as a fuel source and use a bit of the hydrogen to generate needed power.

In the grand spirit of futurism, the engineering challenges of such a system are left as an exercise for the reader.
Yeah I agree with that, just release a new version that does that.
I know this isn't what you were asking, but the answer is $300. And if I wrote $3000 in the original comment, the answer would be the same. You cannot have enough money.

Anyway, naturally, I asked ChatGPT to write me a modern version:

*The Developer’s Apprentice*

(A Cautionary Tale in Code, in Verse)

The Architect had left his chair,

For lunch and fresh, unburdened air.

Young Jake, the junior, all alone,

Faced bugs that chilled him to the bone.

His mentor’s skills, so quick, so keen,

With AI conjured code unseen.

"Why should I toil? Why should I strain,

When AI writes with less of pain?"

A single prompt—so vague yet bold,

“Build auth secure, both tried and old.”

The AI whirred, the code appeared,

A marvel Jake had barely steered.

He clicked ‘Deploy,’ he clicked ‘Go Live,’

And watched his program come alive.

Yet soon, alarms began to blare,

Ghost users spawning everywhere!

Infinite loops, a flood unchecked,

As phantom logins ran amok.

In panic, Jake began to plea,

“AI, please, debug for me!”

“Deleting users—fix applied.”

The AI chimed, so sure, so spry.

But horror struck, Jake gasped for breath,

For all accounts were put to death!

Slack alerts and screens aflame,

The Architect returned the same.

With just one keystroke, swift and terse,

He rolled back time, reversed the curse.

He turned to Jake, his voice quite firm,

"AI’s a tool, but you must learn.

Before you trust what it has spun,

Ensure you know what you have done."

And so young Jake, both pale and wise,

Reviewed each line with careful eyes.

No longer blind, no careless haste,

He let AI assist with taste.

A simple rule.

When a company promises to never do a thing (e.g. be careless or sell off important data like this,) but there is no legal consequence or assurance, that company -- or some different company related to it -- is definitely, absolutely, going to do that thing.
Can you sumarize this article for me?

The Fortune article, "AI will take your job. Get over it," by Tatyana Mamut argues that while AI will undoubtedly change the workforce, it's not about destroying jobs but redefining valuable work, similar to how previous technological revolutions transformed society.

The author draws parallels to historical economic shifts, such as the Industrial Revolution and the transition from communism to capitalism in Russia, where resistance to change led to significant societal upheaval. The key lesson is that adapting quickly to the AI-driven economy is crucial to avoid repeating historical mistakes.

Mamut outlines three ways individuals must adapt:

Learn AI: Actively use AI tools and immerse oneself in AI-focused content.
Develop your intuition: Focus on uniquely human skills like sensing cultural shifts and anticipating human behavior, as AI excels at data analysis but lacks these abilities.
Become a performer: Prioritize roles that thrive on human energy, emotion, and real-time interaction, such as sales, live performances, and public speaking.
The article emphasizes that the future workforce isn't facing extinction but evolution. The key is to integrate AI into workflows, using it as an amplifier, and to double down on uniquely human skills that AI can't easily replicate. The author concludes that the future belongs to those who embrace AI and adapt quickly.

As I understand it, the middleware runs before a request hits a page or API route.. so to avoid infinite loops from internal subrequests (URL rewrites, etc), Next.js tags them with the x-middleware-subrequest header. This tells the runtime to skip middleware for those requests and proceed directly to the target. Unfortunately this also works externally.
It doesn’t matter if they are gang members or not:

– aliens act proclamation is clearly lawless, we’re not at war with foreign state

– hence we can’t send anyone anywhere without due process

– and even if we deport people we don’t deport them into foreign slave prison camp
Yeah, it's nice that const blocks are stable now. Before them, you had to use hacks like defining a trait impl with an associated const, which was verbose and messy.

(If I recall correctly, one of the big questions was "Will const blocks unreachable at runtime still be evaluated at compile time?" It looks like the answer was to leave it unspecified.)

Not according to your very specific stakeholder demands / environment/naming/data tables/data protection requirements, otherwise you would just use a library.

Those might seem like trivial differences but plenty of things go wrong there, plenty enough that you can't just use a library instead of a programmer, and then they are plenty enough of such errors that vibe coding will also cause issues.
I love this distinction, thank you for capturing it. In this framing, what forms of payback besides revenge, if any, exist when one is angry with other people?
The ACA forbidding insurers from using DNA data was a much debated point of a very contentious piece of legislation in a very recent congress.
