One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

@TheWizardTower Yeah cheap building materials is definitely a valid perk!

My favorite Polish idiom is "would you like to buy a brick?"
Learned of this watching interviews of the team behind Witcher 3. The context is, after Poland was bombed to shit after WWII, lots of misanthropic youths would hunt for well off marks they could hustle.
The implication is, you can buy the brick voluntarily, or the brick will be given at high velocity, and funds will be collected shortly after.

wait until the english speakers find out about our other iconic phrases like "dressed like a rat for the grand sewer opening" "free is a fair price" "for free even vinegar is sweet" "looks like shit, and tastes even better" "place where dogs bark with their asses"

@mazurk_david @comrade_coco @a_westgate In all seriousness, the solution is to eliminate any system that can violate the constitution so blatantly and is only accountable to itself
English
@mazurk_david @comrade_coco @a_westgate If you use Apple, be aware of this privacy limitation and don't backup to cloud (unlikely)
If you don't use apple, most linux distros have drive encryption either by default or in the setup flow
And if you use Windows god help you
TLDR - The consumer gets hosed, as always
English
Boomer tech moment. No serious journo should be using apple products and especially relying on “cloud” services.

I am in the middle of working on releasing a HUGE story tomorrow and Apple locked me out of my iCloud. How convenient this happened today....
English
@KearnuLarsen @comrade_coco @a_westgate I'm saying the typical user, who may be caught in such an investigation unexpectedly, will have their data backed up to the cloud because that is the default setting on all apple devices
English
@Proziam @comrade_coco @a_westgate I'm specifically talking about access to an Apple device. You keep talking about communications and the cloud. We're not on the same page.
English
@KearnuLarsen @comrade_coco @a_westgate They can, and do, just make shit up
You seem to really trust the integrity of the institution, but I cannot imagine why that would be. It's not like they have a great track record
English
@Proziam @comrade_coco @a_westgate If you're handling FISA-relevant information, I'm gonna assume you're not an idiot user that hasn't configured iCloud appropriately.
English
@KearnuLarsen @comrade_coco @a_westgate You think the US government has never falsely labeled a journalist or political entity/individual as a terrorist unfairly?
Plus the default on all apple devices is to backup to the cloud. Most journalists wouldn't even think twice about doing so, foolish though it may be.
English
@Proziam @comrade_coco @a_westgate They can't give access to a MacBook in any way. If we're talking FISA then we're also assuming that the user is basically not storing any of the sensitive information on iCloud, seeing as this would be some terrorist type shit.

@KearnuLarsen @comrade_coco @a_westgate Bold of you to assume they wouldn't comply with a FISA court order, considering they're a government contractor
You are too trusting of the trillion dollar PR machine
English
@comrade_coco @a_westgate Doesn't matter if Apple doesn't give it up.

@HSVSphere @eron_wolf Ideas are only as good as execution.
Telegram/Whatsapp UX is table stakes. If they can't meet that bar, they cannot succeed.
English
They have lots of good ideas though and it isn't that simple making a distributed partially-encrypted chat app
It's not a hub and spoke protocol either so it is truly resilient. I believe a lot of the scaling issues could be solved by introducing gossip instead of homeserver individually messaging each other one. And clear UI to tell the user that his homeserver lost connection with a certain % of the network (to indicate partial degradation instead of leaving people confused). Also a server rewrite in Rust, as the python code they have is horrible and buggy as a result of being a port from python2 (tuwunel etc exists but isn't complete, it doesn't support room version 1 for example)
The Rust sdk is actually quite good for example

Would it be fair at this point to declare the entire Matrix project to be a dead end?
Looks like they've had tens of millions of dollars of funding with terrible results. The people involved seem incapable.

gotta say it matrix's element is the worst android and web app I've ever used

@thdxr Complexity grows until the lazy button stops working
Then the humans pressing the lazy button go surprised_pikachu_face.jpeg
Then (imo) the heavy lifting of 'doing it correctly' gets done for companies with need to evolve, or companies get stuck with what they have
English
It isn't a headless solution, so unfortunately this is basically worthless

@HSVSphere @temidaradev I have seen what you have done.
It brings me joy

@temidaradev Sentenced to eternal goyery because you didn't get a Prusa

@HSVSphere Not a Prusa printer so you are forever goyim with no hope of respite

This is an accurate depiction of how Microsoft develops windows, btw.
Deep down, you probably have code of Windows 95 running around, and at the top, React

@spicykat360 Fedora is optimal for 97 percent of people
Bazzite is good if you care about gaming, but it still isn't a silver bullet it's just a little better
Arch is really nice if you like a DIY experience
Nixos is good if you want to do devops work in order to start doing real work

@AvgDatabaseCEO Everyone wants to be the cool startup with 128347 features
The cost of that desire is that you get eaten alive by Price's law and platform instability

High valuations, insane burn rates. These Postgres companies are getting desperate to survive.
Sai Srirampur@saisrirampur
My feed is filled with Postgres companies taking a jab at each other, fighting, capitalizing on others failures etc. That wasn’t the case a few years ago. I’m not sure what changed. I wish I saw more solid technical content instead of all the feuds and drama.
English
I think OSS models on private hardware will become popular
But, another possibility is that companies will realize that they can go all in on LLMs without having to figure that out if they cut their bottom 10-20 percent of devs
I think we're gonna see both happen this year
dax@thdxr
btw we spoke to a company yesterday that's at the scale of 20,000 devs they are looking at these numbers and going W T F and they're moving inference to their own gpu cluster with open source models there isn't infinite budget and appetite for this stuff
English
@samlambert I'm surprised to hear you use notion for long form instead of a hosted internal docs site
I find notion to be an enormous waste of time and energy, and the concept of "living" documents usually results in redundant or stale information getting passed
English
PlanetScale works like this. GitHub issues/PRs and Notion for longer form.

@theNOBSdentist @anabology I just wanna pause it when the body and mind are at peak condition, or enable the body to continually restore all systems to that condition
Turritopsis dohrnii basically does this by turning back into a polyp but there's likely many strategies that can accomplish the goal

Aging is good when you’re an infant, we just call it growth.
We just decide that it’s a disease when we get ugly and lose our ability to do things.
The concept of selectively hating and fighting a process indicates that one doesn’t understand it.
We should aim to age more gracefully, as the effort to stop aging is really an ask to not exist.
