This movie is getting lots of publicity without a single review saying anything about the actual contents.

plenty of reviews with varying praise

"A triumphant, riveting, and continually shape-shifting piece of creative non-fiction with curiosity and a playful sense of uncomfortable humor that will be no surprise to anyone familiar with Fielder’s work, it’s the kind of documentary that is persistently inquisitive and skeptical: both about its alarmingly wide-eyed subject who often refuses to blink, and the process of documentary filmmaking itself."

"You Can See Everything reaches for accuracy in its portrayal of a much talked-about figure. It ends up asking, with plenty of humor but no small amount of wisdom, what “accuracy” would even look like in the first place."


“Contents: Lizzy Holmes”. That’s all you need.

There is one; you have not earned it yet.

There is no downvote button for submissions. Are you lying?

I'm fairly certain only comments can be downvoted, regardless of karma.

You’ll get more traction, by stating way up top what AT is and who should care about it.

Do you know of something better than the first link in TFA?

You shouldn't have to click away from a blog post to understand what the blog post is about. It should start with a clear self-contained introduction.

atproto.com contains a succinct discription:

> Atproto is a big-world open social protocol. Users publish JSON records into repositories. The changestreams of those records then sync across the network to drive applications.

Still a bit abstract, but OK. Personally I would include that AT protocol stands for Authenticated Transfer Protocol and that it is the protocol powering Bluesky.


Reminds me of Andre Malraux’s remark that an unfortunate aspect of death is that it makes a life look like a journey to a known destination.

If learning algorithms in C is a traumatic experience, then you and I have very different definitions of trauma.

Right, if you are not using dictionary definitions of words we define words differently. Though I should have clarified that I meant "Failing to learn linked lists, sort algorithms, memory allocation, etc, ..."

It's great to have it all spec'd out. However, I think specs like this suffer the same fate as war plans: they get modified quickly as soon as implementation begins. Nonetheless, it's good to have a clear idea of where you're headed. I just wouldn't call it "Final."

Making up events in your personal history is not plagiarism.


No, but it's also not professional misconduct. I don't think Arday's work merited the position he held, but at the same time, you can't really fire a professor of sociology because you find out that they've run fewer charity marathons than claimed. So the plagiarism was the main issue relevant to his academic position.


In the definition of it, living things are specifically excluded.


it seems however some things that are not excluded are just one step removed from biological entities, hence

>comedians do not have a fixed amount of comedic material to spread over TV appearances, but rather, the more appearances they make, the more future appearances they are predicted to make

sure, but earlier it says that it does not apply to humans because the Lindy effect would imply that a 100 year old would have more life left than an 11 year old, which is counterintuitive, but the example given above would imply George Burns had more television appearances left to do at the age of 99 than Macaulay Culkin at the age of 9, which is just a layer of abstraction laid over the biological age property.


I don’t think Nvidia fits on that list. It’s a company with a pro-employee culture, very few layoffs, and many employees who have been there a long time.


My dad used to say "It's easy to be generous and kind when things are going well for you. You can only tell what a man is worth during hard times". Nvidia is at it's high financially. When shit hits the fan, things will start looking very differently. You only have to look at what kind of people Jensen is bffs with.


It is also a company with a terrible history regarding open-source. AMD is much better from every point of view.


NVIDIA created quality (but proprietary) drivers for Linux early on, when supporting Linux at all was not a given. They should get at least a tiny bit of credit for this.


Even a broken clock is right twice a day. They’ve all but abandoned these so called quality drivers since, so no, no credit is deserved.


What OS and whose drivers are running on all these NVIDIA-equipped computers today?


Unless it's a 24 hour clock. Then only once.


Achtually... if it's a 31556952 second clock, it's only right once a year.


Quality? Calling those "quality" is a bit of a stretch. Installing was and still is a gamble and so is every tiny system update. That hasn't changed a bit. And I'm saying that as someone who was first introduced to Linux on a Matrox GPU.


To be fair, those were the best that were there back then.

But that was more than 20 years ago. Since then Intel came to work on Mesa, later AMD and various embedded GPU vendors, and now Nvidia is one of the worst options out there.


As long as one didn't have to downgrade X11, they were straightforward to install. You are right that upgrades was a pain, but I believe the drivers themselves were on-par with the Windows drivers.


Doesn't help to be open source if they don't work as they should, and no one fixes the bugs anyway.

I have been through this three times with AMD APUs and dedicated GPU for laptops.


Well that's the interesting part actually, it's true that they don't give their Linux driver as much love as they could, but someone is fixing the bugs: Valve is doing an amazing job on AMD drivers. Something which would be totally impossible with the proprietary drivers of Nvidia. So exactly my point.


On some AMD drivers, mostly in what serves selling SteamDeck.

Which they could also do with proprietary drivers, or do you think Nintendo just sits around waiting for NVidia driver updates to the Switch?

Partner agreements exist for a reason.


Not sure where u get your information. Oracle Java is OpenJDK with a support license from Oracle. It is widely used in enterprises, and it is updated regularly.
