To rationally assess (and regulate) any new technology you can’t just ask “How is it different this time?” You must also ask “How is it the same?”

IPFS and libp2p are among the most widely used public goods in the blockchain ecosystem. CoopHive uses IPFS CIDs to act as pointers to off-chain data, as well as for the computational reproducibility enabled by its hash-based content-addressing.

We are excited to present several projects for consideration in this @gitcoin grant funding round! Please consider supporting our team at Interplanetary Shipyard to keep these important projects maintained. 🙏

If you are considering whether you need a test for a behaviour, you do.

It's always TCP_NODELAY. Every damn time.

I saw this somewhere and it stuck: values are only real if another reasonable org could take the opposite choice. So “excellence”, “integrity” etc. don’t work because obviously everyone claims that. “Move fast and break things” is good from this POV and your “hire adults” works too (not an obvious choice!)

@viveknathani_ We should just accept both the present and the past tense of the verb

it's high time we make this clear - "did/didn't <base form of the verb, not the past tense!>"

@mattgoldenberg Interested!

i've spent the last decade trying to figure out how to motivate myself in college, i constantly procrastinated and struggled to get myself to do anything after dropping out, i became obsessed with solving this puzzle i read every book and tried every system, but i still found myself slipping back into bad habits slowly, i started to put the pieces together i realized that at the core of my struggles was a sense of disconnection from my deepest desires, from my true self, from any higher purpose i was stuck in the grind, relying on guilt and force to push myself through over time, i developed my own approach to motivation one that's about listening to your authentic desires facing your fears and doubts head-on and aligning your life with something greater this shift has been life-changing as i've been writing my book, and sharing about it, people have expressed interest in learning the material sooner so i've been thinking about maybe creating a community to share the material is that something you'd be interested in? if so, can you just comment 'interested' below so i get a sense?

Irrespective of your programming language, watching dynamic memory allocation... is a good practice. As much as possible, allocate all memory at the start and stop there. Programming languages like C and Zig that force you to make memory allocation explicit are helpful. In C++, try to disable copy constructors for all your classes that allocate memory.

The relief of finally stopping a test from flaking in CI.

An article about my vociferous support of open source AI platforms. Demis Hassabis, Dario Amodei, and Sam Altman (among others) have scared governments about what they claim are risks of AI-fueled catastrophes. I know that Demis, at least, is sincere in his claims, but I think those claims are incorrect and counterproductive. The inevitable *effect*, intentional or not, if governments believe those claims would be a regulatory capture profiting their companies. I do think that the short-term societal dangers of proprietary AI systems that will soon mediate everyone's digital diet are considerably higher than any imagined catastrophe caused by the misuse of open source AI systems. And I believe that the benefits of open source AI platforms in terms of progress, safety, economic development, and cultural diversity are overwhelming. businessinsider.com/sam-altman-and…

@0xlivingrock en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_o… one of the best books I’ve read

Which book, movie, blog or podcast made a meaningful difference in your life over the past year?

@samzsays "a median of 55% Indians endorsed this sentiment" what's a median of 55% indians?

According to the report, while 55% of Indians believed that men and women make equally good political leaders, “nine-in-ten Indians agree with the notion that a wife must always obey her husband”. thehindu.com/news/national/…

@teremolly @captain_mrs @lxrjl I don’t have a eli6 answer but if it didn’t converge to the mean E isn’t it a contradiction about E?

@captain_mrs @lxrjl It's like I don't explain to her the concept of a discrete positive number - the idea just coagulates from dealing with interesting objects which she wants more of, aided by some suggestions (mapping to fingers, labels for numbers).

everything about statistics seems so sus - like law of large numbers, wtf? who's making that happen?
