Altro che "cancellata", Francesca Albanese è un fenomeno globale.
Ci hanno provato in tutti modi, a silenziarla. Vuoi per la sincera convinzione che fosse un pericolo pubblico, vuoi per gli attacchi incontrollati di bile che la sua retorica appassionata provoca, da un anno e un mese a questa parte, in chi ha perso il controllo della narrazione su Israele. Dal 7 ottobre a oggi, i gruppi di pressione più ricchi e potenti d’Occidente hanno fatto uno....

oh my fking god. I am TRYING to do research for my book right now but I am getting DISTRACTED by the fact that I followed a citation from a paper into another paper and learned that they're interpreting EEG and eyetracking as a way to sort people into "in the flow" or "not in the flow" I AM GOING TO EFFING LOSE IT

Theory is an accident, a trifle, a bonus hobby, to some of this work. Psychological theory in particular is nothing but a shiny curiosity that you ornament your actual study with. Your actual study has no interest in engaging with the discipline, cites controversial and niche claims like they're established and well tested, and you get away with it because nobody cares, I think, to even imagine that the measurement of human beings could be a respected science in its own right

“Of course, this could conceivably be a case of near unbelievable luck: A flawed analysis based on wrong assumptions gave an unusually large causal effect estimate – but the misguided result just happened to be correct.

an area of sbt that likely few people know the details about is the thin client. let’s try reverse engineering sbtn to see how the native code is communicating with sbt 1.x.
```
$ socat -v UNIX-LISTEN:$HOME/.sbt/1.0/server/aaaa/proxy.sock,fork UNIX-CONNECT:$HOME/.sbt/1.0/server/aaaa/sock
```
that should able to intercept the UNIX domain socket, if you point sbtn to proxy.sock

I've been throwing a bunch of coding tasks at the new o1 and it feels like it may be equivalent to Claude 3.5 Sonnet for the kind of code I write... but noticeably faster

Might become a daily driver for me

It's good to see Germany's @heiseonline finally suspend their X presence. There's no direct analog in English-speaking media to Heise's publications -- think WIRED but with less techno-fetishism and with a fair bit more technical substance and societal awareness.

X is a machine that produces fascism, but it can only do that when it reaches people who aren't already hooked on hate. Every single legitimate publication and organization leaving the platform matters.

Pat Gelsinger "retired"... so clearly @bcantrill and I knew what we'd talk about on Oxide and Friends last night! We discuss how Intel got here and what their future might look like... and Bryan has some tantalizing picks for their next CEO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMqrE2G3gBQ

Do you think it will be possible to build self-sustaining space habitats? Let's assume some more progress in material science, ways of generating power, human emotional intelligence, empathy and cooperation skills. But nothing "magical."

Could we make man-made cans where generations could live and thrive?

I think it's possible as long as there are enough of them and they are big enough. They need to be big enough for a proper ecosystem, and we'd need multiple ecosystems.

Okay FUCK no the old "actual reverse image search" feature is still there, it's just hidden behind the tiny "exact matches" link. I guess google survives being part of my software mix one more day
