As for why do it in the first place, I'd say that "old movie + exclusive premiere of new extra content" may lead some people to choose the cinema over countless other ways they could watch the same movie at home. | null | null | 41,802,198 | 41,801,300 | null | null | null | null |

41,802,512 | comment | mkl | 2024-10-10T19:26:08 | null | It's hard to distinguish between leaking and selling, but I think leaking is much more common. Dropbox famously leaked a lot of emails in ~2012, including mine - I was never a paying customer and that put me off becoming one or using them (to this day most spam sent to my domain is to that Dropbox address). Two local PC parts companies leaked or sold my email. I confronted one about it and they claimed they hadn't had a data breach, so either they sold it, or they were too incompetent to know they'd been hacked, or they lied - I suspect incompetence but whatever happened they lost my business. A couple more incidents long ago too.<p>Real estate agents can be pretty aggressive with emailing, but IME respect unsubscribes and don't seem to share/leak emails. I kind of wish I'd used an address per agent instead of per company to see what was happening better.<p>Non-company uses can also reveal issues. I had an address scraped from a flatmate finding site, and one apparently lifted from a relative's contact list somehow (I only have one I use for family, so that was a concern, but spam to it petered out quickly). | null | null | 41,801,021 | 41,792,500 | null | null | null | null |

41,802,518 | comment | elmerfud | 2024-10-10T19:26:36 | null | If you watch this video he will never see that the question posed in the title is ever answered. We learn what it is spent on and we learn a few other things we do learn the authors naive view that diplomacy can solve everything. We never actually learn why the US does this at a scale that literally no other country even attempts to do.<p>The answer that the video proposes is quite naive in that diplomacy is the method by which we should attempt to solve problems, diplomacy alone is not enough. This is like taking the naive viewpoint that simply passing a law to say that stealing is wrong is enough to stop all theft. We know how ignorant that statement sounds. The law itself is nothing without the power of enforcement and punishment behind it. The same goes for diplomacy you only need to take a look at the last hundred years of History for international diplomacy and you can see how that has panned out when there is literally no power of enforcement behind it. It would be great if the sole power of enforcement could simply be oversights but a brief look at history shows that that again is not enough.<p>Why does the US spend so much on its military? The United States is one of the few countries that has not used its military power to expand its territorial empire. Some people may take a disagreement with that, as there are a few examples of territories that the United States has claimed ownership of, but those are the rare examples. Most/all of those territories that the United States currently holds would like to become states instead of being independent nations. In world war II especially in the Pacific theater the United States didn't take ownership of the lands that they conquered even though it was in the mindset of most of the conquered peoples and most of the countries that were liberated to expect the United States to take over. They did for a limited time but it was not permanent and it was never intended to be permanent.<p>The United States wields its massive military power in a way that is different from every other country in the history of the world and that includes some of the strongest allies like Great Britain have done. So we get down to why does the United States spend so much money on its military? Because it is the only country that is proved to use overwhelming might in a mostly responsible manner to quell issues around the world before they become massive problems. We managed to do that without attempting to completely subjugate the populace of other countries. Again you can find exceptions and you can find people that are upset with the interference but taking a holistic view of History the balance has been more toward the good than the bad. The evil is perpetrated by the British empire around the world were far greater than anything the United States has done. The British empire and never operated with the idea of liberating countries.<p>So the follow-up question should be if the United States didn't do this job who would do it and what the world be better off or worse? | null | null | 41,802,224 | 41,802,224 | null | [

41,802,522 | comment | godelski | 2024-10-10T19:26:53 | null | I love ML. I came over from physics because it is so cool. But what I found odd is that few people were as interested in the math as I was, and even moreso were dismissive of the utility of the math (even when demonstrated!). It's gotten less mathy by the year.<p>My criticisms of ML aren't out of hate, but actually love. We've done great work and you need to be excited to do research -- and sometimes blind and sometimes going just on faith --, because it is grueling dealing with so much failure. Because it's so easy to mistake failure for success and success for failure. It's a worry that we'll be overtaken by conmen, that I have serious concerns that we are not moving towards building AGI. But it's difficult to criticize and receive criticism (many physics groups specifically train students to take it and deal with this seemingly harsh language. To separate your internal value from your idea). So I want to be clear that my criticism (which you can see in many of my posts) is not a call to stop ML or even slow it down, but a desire to sail in a different direction (or even allow others to sail in those directions as opposed to being on one big ship).<p>I do know there are others in psych with similar stories and beliefs. But there's a whole conversation about the structure of academia if we're going to discuss how to stop building mega ships and allow people to truly explore (there will always be a big ship, and there always should! But it should never prevent those from venturing out to explore the unknown. (Obviously I'm a fan of
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry lol )) | null | null | 41,802,175 | 41,780,328 | null | null | null | null |

41,802,524 | comment | abakker | 2024-10-10T19:26:59 | null | I think it's OK to make that mistake because "starting" is a more positive force than "starting over" is a negative one. if the abstraction or assumptions were wrong, you already built some kind of lossy approximation that is highly useful. its just important to recognize when the prototype needs to be thrown away or retired.<p>the corollary of this, though, is that "there's nothing more permanent than a temporary fix". so, balancing these ideals is the work of engineering and management. | null | null | 41,801,921 | 41,765,594 | null | null | null | null |

41,802,529 | comment | cj | 2024-10-10T19:27:21 | null | I liked the way Netflix used to automatically start playing whatever show/movie you're hovering over in the app from the first scene. If the first 30-60 seconds pulled you in, you'd continue on to watch the full movie/show without actually clicking "Play" (which also fixed the mental burden of deciding what to watch, since "stop scrolling through options" resulted in automatically playing whatever you landed on).<p>They've since replaced that with auto-playing trailers which seems to be standard these days. I really like when they just auto-played the movie/show -- most movies/shows already set up the plot decently enough in the first 60-90 seconds (well enough to know whether you want to watch it) and of course that also resolves the "spoiler in trailer" issue. | null | null | 41,802,396 | 41,801,300 | null | [

41,802,537 | comment | tetha | 2024-10-10T19:27:56 | null | This is kind of related to a change I recently made to how I structure variables in ansible. Part of that is because doing even mildly interesting transformations in ansible, filters and jinja is just as fun as sorting dirty needles, glass shards and rusty nails by hand, but what are you gonna do.<p>But I've started to group variables into two groups: Things users aka my fellow admins are supposed to configure, and intermediate calculation steps.<p>Things the user has to pass to use the thing should be a question, or they should be something the user kind of has around at the moment. So I now have an input variable called "does_dc_use_dhcp". The user can answer this concrete question, or recognize if the answer is wrong. Or similarly, godot and other frameworks offer a Vector.bounce(normal) and if you poke around, you find a Collision.normal and it's just matching shapes - normal probably goes into normal?<p>And on the other hand, I kinda try to decompose more complex calculations into intermediate expressions which should be "obviously correct" as much as possible. Like, 'has_several_network_facing_interfaces: "{{ network_facing_interfaces | length > 0 }}"'. Or something like 'can_use_dhcp_dns: "{{ dc_has_dhcp and dhcp_pushes_right_dns_servers }}'.<p>We also had something like 'network_facing_interfaces: "{{ ansible_interfaces | rejectattr(name='lo') }}"'. This was correct on a lot of systems. Until it ran into a system running docker. But it was easy to debug because a colleague quickly wondered why docker0 or any of the veth-* interfaces were flagged as network-facing, which they aren't?<p>It does take work to get it to this kind of quality, but it is very nice to get there. | null | null | 41,754,386 | 41,754,386 | null | null | null | null |

Discover that libsurvive doesn't have the "smarts" that SteamVR has, and that calibration can be wonky (and was wonky for me).<p>3. Learn that you can import SteamVR calibration data. I can't do this in Linux because, well, SteamVR doesn't work.<p>4. Dual boot Windows with the intention to copy over calibration data.<p>5. Windows is installed.

41,802,574 | comment | eterm | 2024-10-10T19:30:47 | null | Thanks for that suggestion, I shall explore faster PRNGS and vactorization too then.<p>My domain is c#, where it's perhaps unsurprising that it's a lot faster to have an array in memory than go via the default Random, which is I believe is Xoroshiro ( at least in .net 6+ ). It certainly can generate data quickly with Random.GetBytes(), but repeated calls to Random.NextInt64() are much slower.<p>Another issue I found with generating random numbers and trying to multi-thread is thread safety / synchronisation. If each thread is doing it's own random generation then it's difficult to compare results between using 1 thread and 2 threads, because it's no longer the same single stream of random data measured across each benchmark, so the meta-randomness of how early you "should" hit a dupe becomes a factor.<p>Having pre-generated numbers and single thread responsible for handing out those numbers makes it easier, you can either have a thread-safe counter, or can increment a larger increment plus an offset for each thread number. The first "real" dupe is still in the same place in the original pre-generated data.<p>You can then compare the incremental gains, for example, of each thread having their own hashtable would get you logarithmic gains (I think that's the right way to express it, but essentially it's gaining just by having First Dupe = Min(First Dupe across N threads) vs an actual thread-safe concurrent hash-table, where you should[1] still see First dupe but sped up by a greater factor than just a naive work but not state sharing.<p>I recognise there are potential memory caching issues at play with the pregeneration approach, but for larger bit counts the actual work should hopefully dominate, particularly since look-up values aren't revisited by design.<p>[1] "Should", because there's a small chance in many algorithms that due to concurrency and race conditions you actually miss the duplicate. Either multiple runs should be tried looking for bi-modal data, or accept that the next dupe shouldn't be so long after the first, and be happy the speed-up is greater than the slow-down caused by very occassional race condition misses. The chance of a such a race condition is absolutely minuscule at the 48bit level, if we assume we are using say, 8 threads, and assume for a race condition to occur, the same 48-number would have to be concurrently being handled/generated by 2 different threads. | null | null | 41,801,581 | 41,798,475 | null | [

41,802,592 | comment | rtk0 | 2024-10-10T19:32:07 | null | Thank you. I was tinkering with sockets programming while working on a side-project in Python and needed to parse through a raw HTTP request to do some manipulation before sending it (to be precise - a proxy that reads requests, makes changes and forwards it to the destination) | null | null | 41,800,903 | 41,793,359 | null | null | null | null |
41,802,593 | comment | mardifoufs | 2024-10-10T19:32:08 | null | That's interesting. I wonder if that was more due to the fact that everyone on the internet back then seemed to have an obsession with Rand, and he might have moved on since. But maybe he's still like that, I just didn't pick that up from the more recent stuff I read from him. Thanks for the info though! | null | null | 41,800,624 | 41,797,719 | null | null | null | null |
41,802,594 | comment | leokeba | 2024-10-10T19:32:09 | null | I don't think this is about education, but I suspect rather something more akin to "intellectual revenge". Let me explain : In my experience, people who are into conspiracy theories are usually people who have been intellectually marginalised or disparaged during their life. It's not about being stupid - I think that's besides the point - but it's about being called and made feel stupid, literally or metaphorically.<p>People don't want to believe they are stupid, and they especially don't want to believe the people (or institutions) who call them stupid are superior to them. So they find a way out, by believing something that not only makes them feel important (they know but other people don't), but also superior to those who ostracised them in the first place.<p>I've been thinking about this for a while, but somehow never came across any similar ideas anywhere, anybody got references (or comments) ? | null | null | 41,801,649 | 41,801,271 | null | null | null | null |

41,802,596 | comment | TheCoelacanth | 2024-10-10T19:32:15 | null | Whenever I've seen theaters do this type of thing, they do it before the published show time. Related content first, then at the published show time trailers start, then a bit later the actual movie starts.<p>If you don't want spoilers, then you just don't go in until the published show time. | null | null | 41,801,650 | 41,801,300 | null | null | null | null |

Is an entirely reasonable goal. Object shape in JS tends to go through a fixed pattern of mutation immediately after construction and although that can sometimes be analysed away by the JIT there are a lot of edge cases that can make that tricky.<p>You may not care, but I bet almost everybody who has actually worked on a JS engine does, and has good reasons for doing so. | null | null | 41,801,852 | 41,787,041 | null | null | null | null |
