Do you think people are born as “fucking assholes”, or shaped that way by their environment?
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 2 days ago:
It has very large implications on society, many of which in direct contradiction with established progressive policy.
So it’s easier to ridicule and/or downplay, than to change course.

Quite relaxed. Sitting in the sun, just finished listening to Dvorak’s symphony nr 9 for the first time. Dog wants to go for a walk but he’s not allowed 🤕

My experience is so different to yours.
Work a lot with what I studied, need the algebra daily. I still have people randomly contacting me for interviews. People move a lot, it’s rare to be in the same function for over 3 years.

Honestly, writing these thoughts down is giving me some existential dread. What does it mean to be human, and why?
Ha. You got to the core of the issue, my friend!

- Comment on Fast, private and secure (pick three): Introducing CRLite in Firefox | The Mozilla Blog 1 week ago:
Ribbon filters have O(1) query times and save roughly 1/3 of memory compared with Bloom filters.
From the facebook paper.
Ribbon filters are constructed by solving a linear system given by hash functions applied to a set of keys. Each row in the linear system expresses that querying as some key, which involves XOR-ing the values at some set of array indices, must yield a prescribed value to indicate it is “in” the set of keys.
What mozilla did is optimise this datastructure specifically for certificates.
- Comment on Fast, private and secure (pick three): Introducing CRLite in Firefox | The Mozilla Blog 1 week ago:
Quite impressive
CRLite is a low-bandwidth, low-latency, privacy-preserving mechanism for distributing certificate revocation data. A CRLite aggregator periodically encodes revocation data into a compact static hash set, or membership test, which can can be downloaded by clients and queried privately. We present a novel data-structure for membership tests, which we call a clubcard, and we evaluate the encoding efficiency of clubcards using data from Mozilla’s CRLite infrastructure. As of November 2024, the WebPKI contains over 900 million valid certificates and over 8 million revoked certificates. We describe an instantiation of CRLite that encodes the revocation status of these certificates in a 6.7 MB package. This is 54% smaller than the original instantiation of CRLite presented at the 2017 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy, and it is 21% smaller than the lower bound claimed in that work. A sequence of clubcards can encode a dynamic dataset like the WebPKI revocation set. Using data from late 2024 again, we find that clubcards encoding 6 hour delta updates to the WebPKI can be compressed to 26.8 kB on average—a size that makes CRLite truly practical.

Economists and industry executives say the hiring slowdown is also tied to post-pandemic overstaffing, aggressive cost-cutting, high interest rates and widespread hiring freezes.

The difference is also applying the scientific method.

I’ve seen goodhart’s law in effect too often. In practice the latter, “failure to A or B or C, …” always turns into the first, “just do A, B and C”. Devoid of thinking why A, B and C need to happen. The same thinking that would lead people to also do E and F, and realize that sometimes A is not necessary.
I think we’ll have to agree to disagree on this one ;)
- Comment on Incident 1 week ago:
It’s odd to be opposed to standards.
The baseline more than often becomes the goal, that’s my issue. Oh so many people just go through the motions devoid of thinking and intent :)
Good news is it sounds like we both got exactly what we want!
- Comment on Incident 1 week ago:
The only thing such laws do is make the care taker more of a replaceable robot, imo. In either case, you want someone that cares, and doesn’t see a kid as a long to do list within an app.
No amount of laws can force someone to care. The reverse is often true, in my opinion.
- Comment on What are some good "frugal" movie viewing setups? (Recommendations) 1 week ago:
That’s how I do it too, and I’m happy with it! Second hand windows tablet, now running xubuntu. With large screen, shit cpu, 8gb ram. I prefer bluetooth earbuds over external speakers.

What country are you in where the parental notification laws are “I dunno, if you feel like it I guess”?
Belgium. There’s no laws whatsoever that mandate notifications. They’ll just tell you if something important happens
- Comment on Incident 1 week ago:
Do you distrust the people who take care of your kid this much?
- Comment on Incident 1 week ago:
If it’s important they’ll remember. Talking to people, seeing how they’re doing, isn’t a waste of time in my opinion.
- Comment on Incident 1 week ago:
Yeah, I’d also rather talk with the person taking care of my child. So you can tell how they’re doing, as this will reflect on your kid. I prefer those 5 minutes.
- Comment on Incident 1 week ago:
just rounding to the nearest 10 for display purposes.
For no good reason.
the law says if you felt the need to do…
Luckily the law is different where I live. I’d rather have my child taken care of by a human, rather than a flowchart

Don’t think it’s system timestamps, as they’re curiously round
- Comment on Incident 1 week ago:
Look at the timestamps: 1:20 1:30 1:40 2:30 rediculous.
Could just go: oh yeah he bumped his head today when parents come pick him up instead.
