I read a fair amount and I actually do research as leisure all the time, but I can’t stand these elitist and unoriginal think pieces about how much better and cooler this person’s habits are than yours.

>> for the leisurely researcher, self-study must include the discipline’s foundational texts

I feel like this person has some kind of dark academia aesthetic fetish that they need to hold onto to feel superior to everyone else.

I actually deeply agree with the advice in the OP around curiosity but personally I end up implementing it in a totally different way than they do.

Lately I’ve found that LLMs are an amazing tool for this free-floating “research”- for example “Summarize the top three theories about why suburbs exist and who said them”. The LLM as open ended semantic search engine / research tool is an amazing way to figure out the topology of a subject you want to dive deeper into.

I usually work my way down a content ladder from there to podcasts, wikipedia and finally to books.

The idea that somehow civilization is ending because of our media consumption habits and that “reading source material” will save us comes off as more an aesthetic fantasy than a real-world complaint about today’s culture.

I was around before the internet and I’m so thankful that so much more information is accessible now than it was when there were only books.
Well almost half of them are supporting this. Then there's that story yesterday about Erdogan banning his opponent in Turkey. South Korea just narrowly avoided turning into a dictatorship (and honestly they're still in the weeds a bit). And something like 1/3 of South Koreans still support that would-be dictator. I've just been extremely depressed lately about the prospect of democracy and freedom of speech just being dead ends.

Even here in Canada my local Conservative Party leader is trying to remove checks and balances on his power in my province. I guess the paradox of tolerance is real. Too many people want strongmen or are at least indifferent.
Superstition can be inversely proportional to education. Cultivation should be proportional to education.

That term you used is very slippery (actually, you used it as the opposite of a "superstition" - you gave it only the interpretation typical of later uses).
A IC cache miss costs 50x more on average. If your insn and data are small, the overhead of doing more work is less than the overhead of cache misses

I've heard this said often, but is there any proof BYD is selling their cars at a loss? And note that I'm not saying R&D loss - is BYD ever selling a car below what it cost to make and sell that unit?
My $0.02 please

Recommended plan
1. Find a new-ish laptop immediately. You can get a decent used one for $1K on backmarket.com. Invest in an ergonomic mouse and an iPad for 2nd monitor as well.
2. Do only high value tech work that pays or you learn something that will pay. Be hungry and stay homeless but do not work as an Uber driver it's a poverty trap by design.
3. Find a host family, welcoming community or marry up. You can't beat depression or get back on your feet alone. One suggestion is: go to SLC and get involved in Hacker and / or rock climbing communities.

Def get rid of the desktop computer. You don't have a desk and are unlikely to for long time.

Again my $0.02 please it's hard but you're on the right track IMO
In a situation where everyone has an incentive to lie, there's no reason to believe anyone.

Musk and Trump have a history of exaggarating, to say it lightly, but NASA, like most of the government entities, hasn't been transparent with their internal processes either.

I see no reason to trust either of them.
If that's true, why did the astronauts confirm Musk's version of the story in an interview? Genuinely asking ...
Android Java is stuck in a subset of Java 17 LTS, released in 2021, hardly almost identical to mainline.

And this only happened, most likely because the Android team realised Kotlin was losing access to modern Java libraries, with ART being stuck in Java 8, so there was an update cycle for Java 11, followed by one for Java 17.

So far there are no public plans to update ART for something newer in Android 16, from the previews made available thus far, they actually also started rewriting OS components into Kotlin, it is no longer only Jetpack libraries.
Hot and humid is the worst for any machines. Which tropical climate is. It's also lowkey why Toyota ended up being ~the most reliable brand of cars.

That's unfair. Modern computers are extremely complicated to the point that even the most knowledgeable person has only a partial understanding, and nearly everyone is required to use them to function in western societies.

There's probably something important and complicated in the world you have to interact with regularly that you don't understand very well. Based on this comment, I think it might be people.
Video is broken (for me) but a recent flagged submission might substitute:

So market cap is based on exaggerations and lies.

Not a good long term strategy.

Maybe that‘s the reason for Musk‘s turn into politics.

Use his power as long as it exists
This happened once before, they always wind up returning, hopefully that's the case.

Maybe someday ReactOS will be usable fully as a Windows VM OS.
One thing I'm confused by is that we need to do "reporting" to figure out what the truth is here. Can't we just ask the astronauts, or NASA, or something? Why is there no official statement on the matter?

There's actually a video of Butch, from the station, saying Musk's description was "entirely factual" - although he then sort of backtracked that. Seems like no one wants to outright explain what happened.
There are certain historical inadequacies in the article.

"That is, the Apollo Program brought the country together in the turbulent 1960s and helped make everyone feel good about the country"

This certainly was not 100% true, as some communities protested against Apollo program [1], even though, overall, the progress it has caused helped eventually those communities as well.

Nevertheless there were kind of bipartisan agreement to push this program which, in current situation of the divide in the society, would be hard to achieve, given some program pitfalls, like the tragic catastrophe of Apollo 1, which killed Virgil Grissom, Edward Higgins White and Roger Chaffee (worth to not forget those people, who sacrificed their lives for humanity progress). Kennedy (and his wife) personality helped here a lot too, with some murky person, like Nixon, or someone featureless like Johnson it would've been more difficult.

Also the claim that 1960s were turbulent is not really correct. In fact, 1970s were really turbulent with the rise of domestic terrorism [2][3].

Brave is awesome. My Mom runs it on a 2014 macbook air just fine and she can't stand ads now.
Yeah moving fast and breaking things does not work for car companies. In a software company if some programmers fix a bug, they (generally speaking) fix it for all users. For cars, you have to recall and manually fix all cars individually.
"just like you couldn't run software without paying IBM and then Microsoft, back in those days..."

Not sure I believe that one. IBM controlled a certain sector of the computer market in the 1970s but there was a lot of competition from DEC and other minicomputer vendors. The only time I got my hands on a 360-series (really a 370XA) machine was a 3090 I got to use in the Computer Explorers, but I saw all kinds of other "big" machines.

There's the interesting question of "whatever happened to personal blogging?" and related questions of people getting pissy about webcrawlers today. Back in the 2000s we'd get a dedicated or VPS and run WordPress on that and not think about egress charges. Today we imagine we're going to pick an SSG out of this list

https://jamstack.org/generators/

but probably not do it, but if we did we'd go through phases of: (1) dreading that we're going to be successful because we pay for every GB, (2) noticing that we get crawled by Chinese web crawlers 10x a day but never get a single bit of traffic from them, (3) noticing that Bing crawls us more than Google but sends us 1% of the traffic, etc.

I transitioned from Softlayer to AWS because of the sysadmin nightmares Softlayer kept giving me, yet the rent is too damn high in AWS in a way that creeps up on you slowly.

... text chat ...

One of the top case studies in "why we can't have nice things". It's not just text but anything in the comms area, it's a place where Doctorow's "enshittification cycle" was first to appear. First a comms app is in a honeymoon period where they really have to win you over and your friends tell you "I'd like to call you on XYZZY" and you say "I don't want to deal with it" and they say "Seriously, XYZZY is great, it's like Skype was 15 years ago" And you try it and it works, but at some point they have people trapped in a two-sided market and don't have any reason to smooth out the onboarding and fix the bugs and pretty soon it is like the way Skype is now.

If these things interoperated there would be competition to make them better as opposed to psuedo-competition to steal away two-sided markets from failing produts.

That just seems like an evolution of what many of the level 2 languages can do without compromising on their primary definition of being statically typed and interpreted.
The only reason BYD was heavily "censored"/tariffed was because US said EU to do so.

Now that US soft-power is waning (800b from EU + 500b from Germany alone for militech) the floodgates might open and it will way surpass the Tesla. Maybe even some partnership between BMW/VW/Daimler with BYD can come out of it - imagine that.
Another moron who thinks trump saying something will happen means it actually happened already.

As far as Korea, the Hyundai Ioniq I had for six months (month to month rental by SixT) was just a better driving experience than Tesla. We rented a Tesla a few times when we were out of town.

Of course the Tesla infotainment center sucks next to CarPlay/Android Auto.
The same polls that said Kamala was going to win the election?

No, chneu is right. We know the stock market is crashing, and a recession is coming. No point giving the Republicans a government shutdown as an excuse. The Democrats have simply forced the Republicans to lay in the bed they've made.

After all, Trump keeps saying he has a mandate, right? Let the voters experience the consequence of their vote. Things have to get worse before they're going to be able to get better.

I've been keeping an eye on BYD and they're just starting to appear in the UK, but there are already quite a few MG EVs - the old British brand MG was bought by a Chinese company. There's a light blue non-metallic colour which seems to be one of their standard colours and is very distinctive.

Also Flexbus running Chinese buses.
The nano-texture isn't really that useful in my experience... not really much better than the anti-reflective screen and you still end up adjusting angles. The best reason to get it is just because you prefer it.
Blaming Chinese manufacturing dominance on government subsidies or lack of environmental regulations or human rights violations or somesuch is simply delusional.

It is missing the forest for the trees. The core fact is that chinese manufacturing pays workers an average $25k/year ($15k before purchasing power adjusting!!) for a 49h week. Are american workers (or other westerners) willing to work for that? No. Are consumers actually willing to pay the difference? Probably also no.

I'm not saying that there are no problems with the above in China, but thats not where their manufacturing dominance comes from. On the other hand, their government did make a bunch of good decisions and they did provide a lot of the necessary prerequisites for local industry to thrive.

But longer term, rising wages are gonna affect them in the same way that they did US industry 60 years ago, and Japanese manufacturing 30 years ago. We have less local manufacturing now because we grew so rich and that is not the worst problem to have.
Let me offer my approval (over the argument, not necessarily about the conclusion). It is not just about assessing reality, but _there is_ a large and greatly important component of, simply, assessing reality!

Interesting to complain about partisan politics and then write an extremely partisan article
There are many people who complain about long charging times.

And there exist countries outside Tesla‘s supercharger network.
The offshore detention we do here in Australia is abominable, but it’s not accurate to say it’s “if you overstay your visa”, it’s generally only used for people who can’t be deported for whatever reason (usually around asylum claims, being stateless, etc.).

If you just overstay a visa you will just be deported fairly quickly, you aren’t going to go into offshore detention…

That’s not a defence of the practice, offshore detention should absolutely be abolished, it’s just worth being accurate.
Zen 5 beats Arrow Lake without AVX512. For workloads that use it you then get another huge performance jump with Zen 5, but Arrow Lake doesn't even have the instructions.
I am Canadian. I’ve been to the U.S. a hundred times and nothing has really changed to make me blink at continuing to go. I have friends and family who work and vacation there, and it’s the same for them as it’s always been.

The Canadian media and Canadian businesses have been drumming up fear and patriotic rhetoric to drive domestic industries. That’s great - the last 10 years of “Canada is a post-national state with no culture or identity” narrative that Trudeau championed wasn’t doing us any favours anyway.

Trump may be a buffoon and what he’s doing is clearly not acceptable with respect to Canada, but to fear visiting or considering the U.S. unsafe when it’s objectively far safer than visiting any all-inclusive hotspot in the Caribbean that Canadians are still flocking to like they do every winter is, well, removed from reality.
It's considered how World War 1 started. ;)

I got the details muddled, I thought Franz Ferdinand stopped for a sandwich, but it was the person who shot him kicking off a chain of events that started the first World War who stopped for a sandwich, and on his way out spotted Franz Ferdinand and literally too his shot.

Overcoming Challenges in Healthcare Identity Verification: A Developer's Toolkit

You are going to have to do better than some tweet battle. AFAIU from Wikipedia with decent sources the service is free, but the terminal's not, and that is what Poland paid.

Also, it's not like Ukraine or even Poland has to pay, the can pay if they want, they can also not pay if they want. It's entirely elective. They can stop using any time they want. I heard that Google has a Starlink replacement in the works that is super awesome and I also heard that while Europe has completely killed itself with regulation they are entirely willing to buy things made by China which has absolutely no regulation.

You are ignorant about how life is crossing into other countries. In the 1990s, my friend who is a white Canadian drove into Buffalo for dinner with his family, and on his way back the Canadian border patrol asked him where he was going. He answered “Canada” instead of Toronto and based on that they detained him for hours and ripped apart his car.

Just recently a woman from the UK was denied entry into Canada and because of that was denied entry back into the US and found herself in the same mess as the person in the article.

This happens all the time, you just don’t hear about it until the news decides to make a thing about it.

Basically any online article site like ars comes across as a Redditor with reddit-tier takes and a mixture of ChatGPT. If you graduate to something like the NYT then you sound like a lobbyist.
I don’t think that is specific to Amazon. If anything I think the whole paradigm of “over analyzing communications with vacuous update suggestions that don’t matter” is probably the most consistent thread I’ve found in all of corporate America. I’ll never forget early in my career we had huddled around a coworkers computer with our entire team including senior manager writing an email to a VP and the senior manager was making punctuation and the most inane wording updates you can imagine. I once thought there is no way the absurdity of the cost to benefit of that situation would be topped, but how naive I was - turns out generally companies seemingly can’t avoid that kind of atmosphere.
It is ridiculous, extremely so. It's also bizarre, disturbing, and honestly kind of demeaning. Not to mention dangerous, for the tech community and many more.

And it is very likely being condoned right from the top. Garry Tan is a big DOGE fan on Twitter, as is PG.
As an atheist, I too stopped and re-read that particular section to think how I felt about it.

In the end, we don't know the motivation of the nurse. Could be that the nurse isn't even religious herself, which is why she asked if Mooney believed in god first, and since Mooney said she does, the nurse tried to help her mentally in a way that spoke to her. If Mooney said she didn't believe in god, the nurse might have said something else.

I say this because as an atheist who used to work in elder-care, I've had many conversations with very religious old people, where I "play their game" because they respond better to it, and seemed happy about it. Even if I don't believe in god, talking with people as if I did, just makes sense in situations where people seemed to have lost all hope.
She was loudly accused of having extreme positions on a hot button issue. Saying nothing was tantamount to admitting the accusation was true. That's how the court of public opinion works.
I don’t think they want one, they are just ending up with one naturally as the normal people leave Twitter.
I think Sam Altman had it right: "his whole life is from a position of insecurity".
Wiz is closer to the CNAPP field instead of the software composition analysis tools you mention, Snyk would fit here for SCA.

Sysdig, Palo Alto's Prisma Cloud, or a few others compete with Wiz's CNAPP offering. Wiz also strays into some SCA and SCA-alike tooling for containers, code or XDR with their CDR/XDR products log ingest and agents available for response/quarantine.
I don't know much about ios. But in macos there are ways to access imessage chat logs or send imessages programmatically. You can create an applescript and do all sorts of stuff. So while I do get that giving this sort of access to an app on your iphone should at least be done through explicit intentful consent from the user, I do not see the impossibility in it. And the fact that there is all this crapp around should not make it impossible for us to have good things, either.

It feels like a healthy variety of media types and engagement types is the best way to engage with a subject. Internet, audio/podcasts, video, and also active writing on the topic.

Balance them all out depending on your preferences.

btw, the common idea that people have “learning styles” seems to have been debunked, but I do feel that there are so many ways to approach a topic that it’s helpful to understand them through different media

Except none of this is new. Tesla has been overvalued for the better part of the last decade but it shows no signs of coming back to Earth any time soon.

Elon's individual reputation doesn't seem to have much effect on the company's value either. It's not like people only just started hating him recently.

Tesla's valuation will inevitably come crashing back down to reality, but something will have to change to trigger that collapse. My bet is the change will have nothing to do with Tesla or Elon. It will be some seemingly-unrelated change entirely outside their control.
