If there’s a bug in SSH libraries that Canonical ships in Ubuntu, that is their distribution of that library even if they are not the primary authors. Canonical guarantees support for the software it ships, so they are obligated to fix it no matter what. Fixes are upstreamed to the primary author - the author never asked for their software to be included in that distribution so it’s not their problem to fix it for Ubuntu users.

This is a model that solves the problem the author is discussing.

The GDPR standard of "consent" (as I suspect you know, but as context for my opinion) is applied to the ePrivacy Directive and relates to any cookies that are not strictly necessary.

I do not like using the legal basis of "consent" for processing personal data, and I would much prefer not to need to use consent for placing cookies. As it is, in my personal capacity I can get away without placing cookies at all .

If we had access to other lawful bases for placing cookies, I'd like to think we could work out way towards phasing out any blanket consent. I'm sure "legitimate interests" would be abused and over-relied-on. But it already is, and if we're not arguing with people about whether the "consent" they rely on is legitimate then maybe we'll have more time to worry about whether companies are using other bases appropriately.

> until about 02000, Oracle's RDBMS software was probably the best in the world

I don't disagree, but that's not what I said. Yes, it was a good product; but everything else that came with it was already shit. It empowered DBAs, not developers, and enterprise people, not hobbyists; for these reasons (and others), it was just not something that most people liked.

Popularity is not simply a function of technical value.

TLDR: "According to a preprint posted to the bioRxiv server this month, nearly all the dead colonies tested positive for bee viruses spread by parasitic mites. Alarmingly, every single one of the mites the researchers screened was resistant to amitraz, the only viable mite-specific pesticide—or miticide—of its kind left in humans’ arsenal."

>to all developers who want to access these people it's another thing

Developers don't have a right to access other business's customers. If you want to sell jewelry you don't have a right to have your jewelry put into a nation wide jewelry store chain to be able to access most Americans. Customer relationships are a vary valuable asset of a business.

>passively making 30%

It's only passive if you ignore the billions of dollars they dumped into building the ecosystem and growing a customer base that they can monetize to developers.

As a PlanetScale MySQL user for the past 2 years, this is really exciting for the Postgres community. (Worked at a company that ran both, was a bummer our tooling didn’t match.)

Using PlanetScale for db management is like using an iPhone after being accustomed to a Treo. The experience is just better in every way.

Congrats to the PlanetScale team!

Glycemic spikes makes me hungry after the spike. This indirectly caused my obesity, among other factors of course. It was a loop of eat something that spiked my glucose, be super hungry 40 minutes later on the drop, spike it again. Repeat.

Eating in a manner that didn’t cause the spikes, or at least minimized them helped tremendously with my appetite and satiety - thus being able to more successfully manage CICO.

It’s not the end-all, but it’s the number one thing I’ve found to optimize for in order to maintain a healthy calorie intake. If I’m extra careful in what I eat to avoid the spikes it’s actually somewhat difficult to eat enough to gain weight much less maintain it coupled with moderate exercise.

Partially. Corn is the big one that requires wind or humans. Rest of the staples do not

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are tubers. I started growing this year and learned a lot about it just from my backyard. No pollination

For example cucumbers not staple nor are peppers. Cucumbers need a bee or insect to pollinate unless the type that doesn’t. But they are low in calories so not staple and more perishable

> If you don't review the code your C compiler generates now, why not?

That isn't a reason why you should NOT review AI-generated code. Even when comparing the two, a C compiler is far more deterministic in the code that it generates than LLMs, which are non-deterministic and unpredictable by design.

> Compiler bugs still happen, you know.

The whole point is 'verification' which is extremely important in compiler design and there exists a class of formally-verified compilers that are proven to not generate compiler bugs. There is no equivalent for LLMs.

In any case, you still NEED to check if the code's functionality matches the business requirements; AI-generated or not; especially in safety critical systems. Otherwise, it is considered as a logic bug in your implementation.

Abstraction boundaries can be optimization opportunities if you choose the right abstractions. You want to present interfaces that go well with the underlying capabilities. In the case of ORMs, the underlying capabilities include various kinds of set manipulation, so you should present an interface that can filter, union, lazy evaluation, etc.

The key is capabilities rather than implementation. If your data structure is good at iteration and bad at random access, present an abstraction that supports enumeration but not indexing. But don’t present an abstraction that hands out Nodes and lets the caller mess around with their Next pointers.

I wouldn't frame it as "complexity", I would frame it as "cognitive load". You can lower cognitive load despite having high complexity. For example, you could (and many companies have done so) build a user-friendly version management system and UI on top of git, which on its surface is just "version 1", "version 2", "version 2 (final) (actually)" but under the hood is using commits and branches. You can have submenus expose advanced features to advanced users while the happy path remains easy to use.

The server admin can still access their own photos via the client. They wouldn't be able to access the photos of other users.

edit: To explain further why it's almost always desirable:

You guarantee that you and your users' information is safe if the server is compromised, if an admin goes rogue, or if local bodies of power request their information from you.

The information can't be sent to third-parties by design.

Any operations / transformations that need to be applied to the information will have to either be done via homomorphic encryption or on the client-side (which is much more likely to be open source / easy-to-deobfuscate compared to blackbox server code).

> Not to mention, even if your supercomputer has an idea you still need a lab that can confirm the idea.

I think this is the critical aspect. You don't need to own a supercomputer to run simulations in supercomputers. Sometimes you don't even need supercomputers at all. It might be a challenge but it's not prohibitive.

What's clearly a blocker is the verification & validation work to assess if a specific model actually works. You need to run experimental tests to check if your module is any good, and you need to run experimental tests to check if the output of your computational models correlate with reality. That costs both time and money.

I came from a town where farmers work with university scientists and the ones who don't are basically doing tourist farm stands. Likewise, I see the NSF + NIH funding cuts from fellow scientists, eg, cancer researchers, being cut, and hear from multiple agency leaders navigating it but cannot speak out publicly. But feel good about pretending scientists do nothing and modern medicine and food supply isn't due to them.

And yes, if you think the scientists self-reporting on their funding cuts are fake, the objective truth problem is most definitely you.

This is what so few people realize -- farming, as it's practiced in the US, is basically mining.

It might appear to be lush nature, but the places we farm are deserts in many ways. We kill insect life, birds, mammals, and other supporting species. We remove most of nutrients from the soil and replace them chemically. A commercial orchard might as well be an Amazon datacenter from an environmental standpoint.

If we want to change things, we need to fundamentally alter the way we grow food. It will be a bit harder -- we'll need regenerative methods, less reliable methods, more human labor, more weed prone, etc. -- but we can build food production into something that's much more sustainable and ecologically sound.

Some farmers are already doing this, or experimenting with it, and I think there's at the very least a growing soil health mindset among small farmers.

Of course it would be a problem. We don't have that on this side of the pond. Unions are meant to be democratic institutions - members can table motions and other members can vote. If members of a union vote to keep such a barrier for new employees, it's not the concept of unions that's broken. It's the members. Unions aren't some kind of demon you summon from the dark side.

Isn't cloudflare, in part, supposed to stop scraping?

Why am I having to do captchas and 'hold to verify', otherwise?

This is just a wishywashy middle finger to everyone not getting kickbacks, everyone else they just allow their site to be scraped, and everyone human that is still inundated with captcha crap.

So much of the web is essentially broken because of cloudflare for cool small scale scraping ptojects. Hopefully they allow small projects acess to this, and it os not just for big ai garbage.

My point is that some tech needs to be iterative. Apple Maps could have been a huge success at the same quality level if it was treated as a public beta. Map applications are never done, either. They require constant work anyways.

It doesn’t matter if you’re first or not, but even if the tech for AI stabilizes, it’s still going to need constant input for news, events, etc. It will never be static. Apple needs to form those data relationships asap if it wants to own the tech.

This looks really cool, I ordered one. I'm also waiting for the Fruit Jam, mentioned elsethread.

The pico-dvi-rs project has an early prototype of race-the-beam video generation, which I think has a lot of potential, it's going to allow much richer content than a framebuffer on this kind of device. One fun thing we've got going is proportionally spaced bitmap fonts, which is fairly unusual in this form factor. Please get in touch with me if you're interested in driving this thing with Rust.

>you're lumping all hybrid drivetrains in together and assuming they're all equally reliable and equally have the same TCO math

I’m not though, you’re just making that assumption. For example, as “comparable manufacturers” if I select Toyota (because it has a reputation for reliability) I can compare the Prius to the Corolla (because they’re both at a similar price point in their respective categories). This “should” favor the Prius because the Corolla has a CVT (which is known to be less reliable) but TCO comes out about 8% lower for the Corolla. I’m not lumping all together, I’m deliberately trying to make reasonable comparisons.

Now I could also pick and choose to go the other way with a similar comparison. The end result seems to be that there is a distribution of differences that are reasonably close, but with enough variance to say it looks like a wash in TCO. Point being, strong conclusions may not be warranted.

>Which is why I made a big point of mentioning my usage of "series", which flew right over your head.

It did not go over my head. In fact, I brought it up in the very first post before you responded. [1] I even reminded you of that [2]. This is why I’m saying it seems like you are reflexively responding without actually reading for comprehension or clarity.
