Hey Jordan,

I gave it a try and look for the locations, specially the 3rd one that does indeed look like it could be in Chile.

For the 2nd picture I found an island in the French Polynesia that has very similar colors and characteristics, might be its around that area, 8°56'10.8"S 139°34'41.2"W (-8.936304553977038, -139.57811272908305)

For the 3rd picture I found many locations that look like your picture but really couldn't find one. The first one is around Mexico, though it probably isn't 27°32'39.0"N 114°45'00.5"W (27.544166, -114.750130). And the second one are islands close to Morocco 28°01'54.4"N 17°16'22.9"W (28.03198233652239, -17.27306308433365) though the angle is not the same... As a bonus for the 3rd picture, I did find in the Andes mountain something that looks like your picture: 33°38'11.7"S 70°07'01.4"W (-33.636446, -70.116968). So maybe you should also look around mountains.

At least from what I've seen in Chile the coast is usually very rocky and the water is usually lot of waves, and in the picture it looks really smooth. (Though I don't know how zoomed out the picture is)

What is left of the C standard library, if you remove syscall wrappers?

> ABI hell

Is that really the case? From my understanding the problem is more, that Linux isn't an OS, so you can't rely on any *.so being there.

Putin has repeatedly used the Iraq War as a justification for his actions. As a formal excuse ("a major power is allowed to invade other countries according to its own judgment") and likely also as a personal belief. The NATO intervention in the Kosovo War probably had a bigger impact on Putin on a personal level, but it was less useful as an excuse for starting wars.

As for Belarus, the country only had free and fair elections once: in 1994, when Lukashenko became the president. Lukashenko was already a dictator when Putin was still a civil servant in Saint Petersburg.

> and Nike will rip you off with the price for "western engineering".

It's the brand more than anything. Nike's brand commands a premium.

I've quite literally never seen a product like this on the market, so as far as I'm concerned if Nike is the first to Western market with the product, and they do a good job introducing it, it's their innovation.

It's like with Nintendo and Apple. They're quite frequently not the first to develop a technology, but they take things and popularize them. Digital cameras, motion control, touch screens, smartphones, tablet gaming devices, ...

Sure, you can save some maintenance cost by operating at low capacity factor. But this is a minor part of the cost of nuclear energy, so you don't save much. Nuclear simply isn't constituted to be useful as a dispatchable source.

The technical ability to ramp up/down is beside the point; it's the financial ability to do so that matters.

What nuclear did in France half a century ago is irrelevant. What matters is if nuclear makes sense today. It doesn't, even if it could be done.

The central problem with Linux is that it forces you to conform to everything being a files, including device and IO. I’ll stick to MSDOS where I can go about business poking memory myself to control the hardware. /s My point being is that contracts between systems can improve our lives. We take the process, file, and protected memory models for granted today. However, I’m sure people hated the migration to protected systems as well because it “didn’t let them go about their business”

People are weird and gross. They do weird things that we would often prefer they not. Sora provided a tool to avoid that weirdness. Use it.

> I updated your understanding of subsidies.

Adults don't talk like this. The parent shared they would be far less likely to have moved forward without the subsidies. Now, you implied that someone (me) pointing out a tradeoff of solar subsidies must be non-critical of O&G subsidies, yet you provided no proof that I wasn't ALSO critical of O&G subsidies.

Meanwhile, I would love to learn more about the financials of your non-profit, ChargeFoundation.org that has mailing to a residence in Austin, TX. I'm not seeing any 990s.[0] Can you please post your foundation's financial reports on your site?

I guess the "\\$HOSTNAME\$DIR" URL syntax in Windows Explorer also works for WebDAV. Is it safe to have SMB over WAN?

I just tried https://live.sysinternals.com/Tools in Windows Explorer, and it also lists the files, identical to how it would show the contents of any directory.

Even running "dir \\live.sysinternals.com\Tools", or starting a program from the command prompt like "\\live.sysinternals.com\Tools\tcpview64" works.

Teams I have worked in often have an Approved subject to comments” with th “all comments must be resolved” marker set.

This somewhat violates the articles “approval or not is the only bit that matters” argument, but it at least forces participants to at least acknowledge an issue, and either provide a satisfactory reason to resolve on the spot, or open a new ticket for that work.

Yeah, but does that really help? The phrases "growing down/up" still exist and now you defined them to mean the opposite. This issue still didn't go away, since heap and stack still grow in different directions. Can't you just start drawing from the bottom of the blackboard, and it will be obvious? Coordinate systems also typically work that way.

The docker users do generally have a backup. But being shoved onto a backup sucks, and with no warning it's even worse.

That level of promise is what you get with 95% or more of products and services. It's not like you can avoid it.

I understand the impulse to say that these expectations are unreasonable so nobody should get mad. But when companies cultivate those expectations on purpose, it stops being unreasonable to get mad.

Utilities are used using MW when discussing supply and demand. Because balancing that is critical. So power is what they care about when discussing grid connections.

The billing side and customers are concerned with total energy. So kwh.

Journalists typically don't know the difference. Which is why they list storage capacity in watts. They don't know any better and they don't care.

Far as I can tell multiply the watts by 4 hours to get watt hours.

I've done this, extensively. Produces beautiful, spotless, polished brass. Nothing else comes close. For the high quality of the result, there is no easier or more cost effective way. It's also fast, quiet and produces no lead/nickel/copper/etc. laden dust: quality of life things that make a real difference.

Things to know: Get magnetic stainless steel rod type media. It's not free, but lasts a long time. Use a good surfactant and soften the water, or use distilled water in the tumbler, and rinse with the same. Very important: thoroughly inspect for stuck media in the brass; it will stick inside due to water tension, and primer holes are eager to cling. The clean brass will oxidize because the process removes whatever protection the factory used and exposes unoxidized brass: figure out some coating that works for your use case.

But the idea that someone was making a video that had some potential sexual gratification element made me feel fairly icked out.

Clearly the author has never visited 4chan... but I think seeing others make such content with your appearance should be taken as flattery.

More seriously, I hope this flood of easy video generation will cause people to more easily realise how they can be persuaded, and increase skepticism of evidence in general.

> but JavaScript totally missed the boat on efficient compile-ability, which is the most interesting thing about Self

That's making much use of hindsight though: the creators of Self didn't think it would run fast, until it did [0]. The HOPL paper on Self [1] spends many words recounting the challenge of making Self fast.

[0] This is arguably a stronger claim than what appears in HOPL; I think it's from a talk by Dave Ungar, I'd have to check.

The article is describing a feedback loop: very few women consent to have their face be usable -> the number of perverts vastly outnumber the number of women so each woman, who has posted nothing nsfw, or even suggestive, gets dedicated attention from many perverts -> other women aren’t comfortable allowing their faces to be used by large numbers of perverts-> very few women consent to have their faces be usable.

This is all independent of what is and isn’t a legitimate business model, it’s a social dynamic. It’s also a pretty familiar one: it shows up everywhere from nightclub bouncer policies to the dynamics of early 2000s irc rooms

I've made a private MacPorts port[1]; if I find that I use it frequently enough, I might contribute it to the main MacPorts port repo[2].

One thing that's missing from my perspective (and this is probably true for Homebrew packaging as well, but I don't do that) is Git tags / GitHub releases associated with your Cargo releases.

I can work around it for now by using an explicit release (`9ccd9bf53f9a309ccda42b5c17e9c1056493fb90` is what I'm assuming was your 0.1.0 release point).

I've also assumed that npm10 is sufficient (which currently installs node22 on MacPorts).

It is multiple fine grained locking versus a single global lock. The latter lets you do less locking, but only have a single thread of execution at a time. The former requires more locking but allows multiple concurrent threads of execution. There is no free lunch. But hardware has become parallel so something has to be done to take advantage of that. The default Python remains the GIL version.

The locking is all about reading and writing Python objects. It is not applicable to outside things like external libraries. Python objects are implemented in C code, but Python users do not need to know or care about that.

As a Python user you cannot corrupt or crash things by code you write no matter how hard you try with mutation and concurrency. The locking ensures that. Another way of looking at Python is that it is a friendly syntax for calling code written in C, and that is why people use it - the C code can be where all the performance is, while retaining the ergonomic access.

C code has to opt in to free threading - see my response to this comment

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45706331

It is true that more fine grained locking can end up being done than is strictly necessary, but user's code is loaded at runtime, so you don't know in advance what could be omitted. And this is the beginning of the project - things will get better.

Aside: Yes you can use ctypes to crash things, other compiled languages can be used, concurrency is hard

At many universities faculty and students ignore the locked-down IT network and use a guest network instead, or their smartphones.

Unfortunately there may not be an easy way to access databases and other paid resources (e.g. via library login, which would seem reasonable.) The good news is that in many fields much of the material that used to be paywalled (e.g. journal papers) is now available under open access. (But not legal databases like Lexis etc. and some other resources.)

> but I think seeing others make such content with your appearance should be taken as flattery.

I think maybe you're an adult male.

Having actually talked to some female friends about this, I'm pretty sure that women in general don't take so well to the idea of tools that might be used to encourage the fantasies of the men that already have a dangerous interest in harming them sexually.

Whether the Valley thinks that's their problem to solve, I doubt. But making a joke out of it is pretty fucked up, dude.

ETA: even women who have done some modelling and are a bit more aware of the way those images are used are at least somewhat concerned about content that can make them act and speak like puppets. This is at least as much about consent as it is about content.

ETA2: I am rate-limited for being an argumentative sod in the past so I will finally edit this to note that 1) I am replying only to the sentence I quoted which has very troubling connotations, and 2) I really think a lot of people here seem not to have read Julian Dibbell's crucial 1993 article "A Rape In Cyberspace" and it really shows.

This strikes me as somewhat un-pragmatic.

Non-blocking could cover everything from “wow this is kind of jank, but it’s good enough for now and let’s figure out how we fix it later” through to very minor thing like “you have a typo”.

If we blocked on everything being perfect, we’d never get anything finished. Plus, PR’s are free.

Probably not. AI slop doesn't really "go viral" except when it is super ridiculous like shrimp Jesus. Most people generating AI slop porn are likely in the 10s of people who will see it. If someone generates porn with my face on it and I never even know, how does this harm me? Why should I care?

If you're being honest, I bet your codebase is going to shit and your skills are in rapid decline. I bet you have a ton of redundant code, broken patterns, shit tests, and your coworkers are noticing the slop and getting tired of fixing it.

Eventually, your code be such shit that Claude Code will struggle to even do basic CRUD because there are four redundant functions and it keeps editing the wrong ones. Your colleagues will go to edit your code, only to realize that it's such utter garbage that they have to rewrite the whole thing because that's easier than trying to make sense of the slop you produced under your own name.

If you were feeling overwhelmed by management, and Claude Code is alleviating that, I fear you aren't cut out for the work.

Although I didn’t fully grasp half of it, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I was hooked from the beginning to the very end. I’m genuinely excited about the potential of TinyKVM. It’s unbelievable how far we’ve come from the early days of VMWare led virtualization, and the fact that we have such powerful machines that anyone can buy! We’ve even got much better tooling to squeeze out more performance without risking safety/security (Rust FTW!).

Yes. And we also have documented cases where generative AI, in the hands of people with serious psychological issues, is significantly accelerating those people's loss of control of those issues, to very negative outcomes.

The fact that the AI industry is apparently littered with incredibly immature guys who perceive themselves to be Randian superheros does not reassure me that this tool is going to be better.

I can't figure out the tone here. Is the author suggesting we should stop people from creating fetish content of purely AI-generated characters? OpenAI might want to for business reasons, but surely there's nothing inherently wrong with using AI for fetish content. Should we also stop people from drawing fetish content with pencil and paper?

This is kind of a side issue but I think the time has come where videoing in public and using images of people without explicit consent should be outlawed. It used to be okay when the only medium was TV or movies and it was hard to distribute but now I think it has become a nuisance at best and dangerous at worst. The only thing I would make an exception for is actual journalists with some sort of credentials. But posting videos on social media of unwitting unconsenting people should be outlawed in the age where people with phones can upload videos in second.

This was my take from the article also. These languages are clearly dying and not many people speak them as their primary language so the human suffering is minimal. Which means keeping them around is a past time that some people happen to enjoy (unless there is a Saphir-Whorf hypothesis I'm missing)

But the sentence `well-meaning Wikipedians who think that by creating articles in minority languages they are in some way “helping” those communities` clearly shows the author hasn't really considered the issue.

> I can’t imagine the math is any better in Canada.

I don't have to imagine, I've actually installed it and I can see the impact on my bills. By most estimates it has a 12-15 year ROI that matches the stock market, and will continue to generate electricity for another 10-15 years after that. The 'math' is a function of many things: orientation, roof angle, occlusion, installation costs, electricity cost, latitude, grants/loans, net metering terms, etc. It's a huge assumption to say that what doesn't work in one location in Cleveland won't work for a property in Canada 2 degrees further north.

UEFI is an interface implemented by firmware (literally, Unified Extensible Firmware Interface), it's not the firmware itself. Saying "it starts the machine" is a bit of a nomenclature faux pas. The firmware starts the machine, you talk to the firmware via UEFI.

This post skips all the interesting things in the modern firmware dance. Not the least of which is when you call ExitBootServices() you're already in long mode. There's no need for the journey through real and protected.

Been there, got the scars.

First thing, explain to them in writing how their behaviour impacts the team as a collective, not just you specifically.

If the behaviour persists, put them on a performance improvement plan. Specifically outline the behaviour that needs to change and importantly: hold the whole team to the same standard and scrutiny.

Three outcomes in order of likelihood:

- they take the hint and leave

- they improve enough to get the PIP off them

- you have justification for disciplinary actions including termination.

It’s a drain on your time and energy, but it’s a sure fire way to create an actionable record of this employees bad behaviour.

Make sure your boss and your skip-level are aware you’re taking this action - there’s nothing they can do to stop you doing it, and if they’re genuine they’ll appreciate that you’re putting in the effort to set this guy straight.

In fact, not being a Who follower, how do they differentiate just by the actor playing the doctor? Season 5 of actorName?

What narrative? If you're saying even a pro-Trump pro-Elon newspaper whose owner has a history of weighing in for Musk has a bias against him, you're saying Elon's massively lost not only standing but also sympathy across the aisle.

If that's true, his companies are toast. That doesn't seem to be the case. So maybe revisit the hypothesis when the data reject it.

Correct. The Beatles appearance on Top of the Pops survives only because a clip from that show was used in episode 1 of The Chase.

Ironically, The Chase often has rights clearance issues when it comes to home release because of this. Beatles music costs a fortune to clear, making releases untenable.

Double ironically. This is because the Beatles chose to mime to their studio record for Top of the Pops. If they had played live, it would have been less of a problem.

I highly recommend following the official tutorial to create a browser extension for your preferred browser, and just making any changes to websites there instead of installing extensions made by someone else. For example, removing youtube shorts is like five lines of code in my personal extension. The rate at which published browser extensions turn into malware has escalated from “oh that’s concerning” to “How many times do I have to teach you this lesson old man”
