It's comforting that maybe this mentality is correcting itself one funeral at a time.

But what really makes me sad is how this mentality so quickly swept into the country to begin with. 30 years ago, the vast majority of Americans would be horrified at the thought of people being assaulted on the street in broad daylight, black-bagged, kidnapped and disappeared forever by masked, non-identifying thugs. Fast forward 30 years, and (chances are) my neighbors want this and are absolutely giddy at the thought of it happening here!

Regardless of who votes for what, how did my country turn into this?

This license is not OSD-compliant. The blockers are its use- and user-based restrictions.

Where it collides with the Open Source Definition (OSD)

1. Discrimination against persons or groups (OSD §5). The license voids permission based on who the user is or with whom they do business. Examples: barring government agencies, multinationals, certain medical institutions, anyone contracting with law enforcement, entities tied to CBP Withhold Release Orders, broadcasters of certain messages, and various others (3.1.11–3.1.13, 3.1.13.1, 3.1.12, 3.1.21, 3.1.22). OSD §5 forbids any license that discriminates against persons or groups.

2. Discrimination against fields of endeavor (OSD §6). The license conditions rights on how the software is used and the sector in which it is used, e.g., military activities, law-enforcement contracting, fossil-fuel or mineral extraction, certain medical practices, and other sectoral prohibitions (3.1.11–3.1.20). OSD §6 requires allowing use “in a specific field of endeavor,” including commercial use. OSI also flags “non-commercial and ethical clauses” as a common reason for rejection under §6.

3. “You must behave lawfully/ethically” conditions embedded in the license. Several clauses condition permission on compliance with external legal or policy regimes (e.g., 3.1.20 environmental laws; 3.2.1 adherence to a specific social-auditing program; 4.1–4.2 a new tort-style duty and private right of action). OSI’s annotated OSD explains that while a license may warn about separate legal duties (like export controls), it may not incorporate such restrictions as license conditions. Embedding these behavioral obligations is inconsistent with OSD.

4. General OSI guidance: you cannot restrict “bad” uses or “bad” actors. OSI’s FAQ states plainly: you may not restrict how people use an open-source program, and you may not exclude “evil people.” The license’s Ethical Standards section does both.

> This should not be considered an LLM issue.

LLMs are garbage and they add nothing to the browsing experience.

> Are there any reports actually showing degradation because of LLMs rather than post hoc ergo propter hoc?

You can control this option with a setting. It seems like it would be really really easy to just test this. As a result I can't see any reason to doubt this by default or apply a legalistic evidentiary standard when considering it.

I wish this was more broadly, explained to people…

There are LLMs, the engines that make these products run, and then the products themselves.

GPT anything should not be asked math problems. LLMs are language models, not math.

The line is going to get very blurry because ChatGPT, or Claude or Gemini, are not LLM’s. Their products driven by LLMs.

The question or requisite should not be can my LLM do math. It can I build a product that is LLM driven that can reason through math problems. Those are different things.

A coworker of mine told me that GPT’s LLM can use Excel files. No, it can’t. But the tools they plugged into it can.

While I don't have a use for this, I do like the idea of purposeful modes in computing. Obviously there is a lot you can do with shortcuts and preferences, but its nice to have a limited to base to start with.

I think this is even more important with a mobile platform since for one, battery and processing power is at a premium, and two anything with notifications could take you out of your desired "mode" if you don't wrangle them properly.

Something I've always wanted in a smartphone is to be able to boot into a "camera only" mode. There have been many times where all I need my phone for is as a camera, and I don't want it wasting resources/battery doing anything else. If this mode were light enough, it could boot up in the same amount of time as a normal digital camera, allowing your the phone to be truly off while you're not taking pictures. I do often take a digital camera with me, but sometimes I don't want the bulk or maybe I didn't initially plan to take a lot of pictures.

I mean you could always tag transparency as extra bits. Presumably both sides of the link would need to understand this. So you'd send an 8bpc signal as idk 10, which gets you 6bpc of transparency. Or you run a faster framerate where 1 in every N frames is a transparency. It could work.

For displayport you could use MST

You just went back 10 years in my comment history to find a comment that has nothing to do with the thread we're on, on a thread that has nothing to do with the thread we're on, on the basis that me not believing that Black people are racially inferior to white people dictates what I think about behavioral genetics.

In addition to being rude, it isn't even logically coherent. What I do or do not thing about racial supremacy has nothing to do with the very answerable question about whether behavior and molecular genetics research regarding intelligence is being published.

Tribalism, identity politics, low education and lack of respect for education and intellectualism, and late stage capitalism. A cautionary tale, for sure. People are angry, rightfully so, but at the wrong people. Thank Reagan (economics) and Gingrich (politics) for a lot of this we’re facing.

Deepfriedchokes is right; we need stronger, more robust systems to protect humans from other humans, because we cannot trust the human (broadly speaking).

They should laugh while they can ;) Still waiting for the crash and to see what lives on and what gets recycled. My bet is that grok is here to stay ;)

(Don't hurt me, I just like his chatbot. It's the best I've tried at, "Find the passage in X that reminded me of the passage in Y given this that and the other thing." It has a tendency to blow smoke if you let it, but they all seek to affirm more than I'd like, but ain't that the modern world? It can also be hilariously funny in surprisingly apt ways.)

But they're both framework-agnostic.

This snippet works with any framework and any build step.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/alpinejs@3.x.x/dist/cdn.min.js" defer></script> <div x-data="{ today: new Date().toDateString(), randomNum: Math.floor(Math.random() \* 100) }"> <p>Today is <span x-text="today"></span></p> <p>Random number: <span x-text="randomNum"></span></p> </div>

I'll concede that Alpine.js is harder to understand and more verbose than Marko's syntax, but in order to use Marko you have to commit to the Marko framework. If you're willing to choose a framework solely for its JS-in-HTML capabilities, there are much better choices (like SvelteKit that handles JS-in-HTML wonderfully).

- 74% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say the Trump administration is doing the right amount to deport immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally. Another 12% say it’s doing too little and 13% say it’s doing too much.

- Nearly nine-in-ten Republicans approve of sending additional U.S. troops to the border (88%) and increasing deportations (86%). More than six-in-ten strongly approve of these actions.

- 80% of Republicans approve of cutting federal funds to cities and states if they do not cooperate with deportations

- 72% of Republicans approve of suspending asylum applications, with 38% saying they strongly approve.

Rust compiler error output certainly uses a lot of vertical arrows. But it also highlights the fact that the caret is often used to highlight characters on the line above, and if it were lower it would be worse at doing that.

I do hate this asymmetry when I'm trying to do an ASCII flowchart of some sort.

But I'd also like to add that calling it an unreasonable complaint sounds a little hysterical. It's just a complaint. It's also a clear one, and of obvious use.

So far everything is good. I only had more of a logistic issue, once, when moving to France from the US, a few years back (retirement) and when my new doctor told me that the French do not recommend statins for people at my age and overall good shape (active, fit, etc. ), even if the numbers are high. I asked her to give me a referral to a cardiologist, to whom I mentioned my 35 years of statins in the US, and who was of the opinion that after such a long time and with no apparent side effects, he would recommend continuing on this type of médication. And that was it, so I'm now getting the prescription renewals almost "automatically", even as my cholesterol is staying within limits (under the assumption that it may increase, should I stop, especially considering the amazing cuisine and products to which I now have access :) )

deleated from most recent linux install on a new to me desktop. vile I just want to work(create stuff), there is nothing that any "service" can do for me. the relentles attempts to get in the way of sending and recieving information is mindbogling, and I am going to be getting an analog telephone adapter, so that I can start useing fax, over cellular data, and making paper plans ,taking pictures, and converting to pdf's to avoid the wasted time and cost of software solutions the surreal part is that the LLM's have found me, and are recomending me to people looking for custom metal, so much for a low profile there, and somehow my number got out on indeed, and I got a wave of people calling, applying for "the job" but bitterly complaining that the app they downloaded as part of that, wasn't working right. fine, ok, whatever.

A recruiter gave me the terse feedback about "too long consulting" from one company.

(And it didn't fit any rational objection I could think of, if they'd actually looked at the resume, beyond triggering on a keyword.)

I think a root problem is that many companies are bad at hiring, and many of those get confidently bad at it. In institutional emergent behavior terms, as well as individual actor terms.

Edit: They were handed off to departures before tower’s traffic warning. The near-collision occurred in the middle of tower-departures handoff. Tower was warning them of traffic in hopes they were still on the frequency but they probably weren’t, and they noticed traffic just before they contacted departures.

On ATC side, maybe departures could have been more proactive and warn AA of traffic together with tower. On AA side, maybe they could have been listening to tower for a while as they are tuning in to departures (there were 10–20 seconds where AA was not listening to tower anymore and did not come in on departures yet). Seems hard to blame either of them in particular.

Original comment as is:

If the video is to be believed, the tower did tell American right away (at 1:36 in the video, way before any visible corrections by either plane were made) that there is traffic and to stop the climb. It’s unclear whether American paid attention to tower, because seconds later they came in on another frequency saying they have traffic in sight. When asked afterwards whether tower gave them a heads-up they denied it.

Of course, ITA paid even less attention, considering how they were the original cause of this all and how for 30 seconds they ignored ATC’s request to turn right immediately (issued at about the same time that AA was warned about traffic).

This doesn’t contradict that what AA did was proactive and possibly life-saving, but I have a suspicion that the initial deviation by ITA could have been benign if both crews paid their full attention to comms: what if ITA started to turn 270 immediately as they are told to (while continuing to climb up from 1500), and American simply stopped their climb at 1500? I am not 100% confident.

That said, I would also agree ATC could have been more proactive, harder on ITA (instead of just telling them to turn again 30 seconds later). Presumably they are strapped for resources right now.

(There could be errors in the above in case the chart and different radio communication tracks in the video are out of sync with each other, which is possible.)

You are comparing web view apps to web view apps. “React Native” has muddied the waters here with intentional misuse of terminology. With React Native you still write a web view app - it just ahead of time compiles to run without the browser view on device. But it doesn’t use any native UI components, which is what “native app” used to mean.

It looks like the difference in the popular vote was 2,284,967 votes towards R. Do all of those 2,284,967 voters demonstrably overlap with that 86% of the polled Republicans? If not, then claiming that a majority of Americans support every incident in the linked article based on the last election, lacks basis.

LLMs got all these patterns from humans in the first place*. They're common in LLM output because they're common in human output. Therefore this argument isn't very reliable.

If P is the probability that a text containing these patterns was generated by an LLM, then yes, P > 0, but readers who are (understandably) tired of generated comments are overestimating P.

* Edit: I see now that the GP comment already said this.

It never was. Whatever your "ism", simply training ourselves to downplay greed and envy works.

As a techie bookworm, I figured out early that envy would drive me insane, and that greed would lead me to do unworthy things with my life. I managed to lead a somewhat normal and happy life as a proud Dad, now divorced. (talk about normal)

All isms are spoiled by negative human traits. Capitalism claims to benefit all by tapping them, but I don't see many happy people.

The only "isms" that I see working are gratitude-ism and just-enough-ism. And one that's about 2500 years old.

For what it's worth, I don't think the author quite has it right other.

The philippic leads with a clip of Sophia Petrillo, from the TV show Golden Girls. According to the show, she was born in 1905 or 1905. The actor who portrayed her, Estelle Getty, was born in 1923. Either date makes her a member of the so-called Greatest Generation, after which is the Silent Generation, and only then reaching the Baby Boomers.

50 every weekend is an exaggeration, but more people were murdered in Chicago from 2001 to 2021 than American soldiers died during the Global War on Terror (6,593 died in Iraq and Afghanistan vs. 11,561 in Chicago).

This is something of a red herring though as somewhere around 75% of those murders are black-on-black, with only a minority involving Latinos. Chicago primarily attracts attention not because of its murder rate (#22 in the country vs. Detroit at #5), but instead due to the size of its population and the prevalence of violent music that has come out of the region.

I got participating trophies from soccer or karate when I was a child. I also got larger trophies when I won events. Even as a freaking eight year old I understood that this was the same as a t-shirt. It was a fun memento from a sports season or a sparring tournament. I do not believe I know a single person who feels negatively about such things.

Surely after years of screaming about participation trophies there should be some evidence that this harmed kids if it were a real thing, right?

We must always vote. Our voter turnout for elections in the US is approximately shit.

We must also do other things, too: Voting isn't the end-all, be-all solution to everything. (And that's OK; we can do more than one thing at a time.)

But the absolute necessity of actually-voting is a constant, and I'm equipped with a profound amount of intolerance towards any idea that may suggest otherwise.

Concentration of ApoB-carrying lipoproteins in the bloodstream as the driver of heart disease is one of the most strongly proven facts in medicine. Statins are proven to lower LDL (a close-enough substitute for ApoB in most situations) by about 30%. I can't look at the study now, but most likely it's a situation where patients' cholesterol has not been lowered enough by medication to make a meaningful difference. If you have an LDL of 160, statins aren't going to be sufficient. The issue is doctors/patients not targeting a sufficiently low cholesterol level.

It's quite sad that the computer field almost aggressively forgets or ignores its past. Find an early, say, crossbow and historians go nuts preserving and studying it. People recreate and surmise about Galileo's experiments to help others understand how he learned his physics, ...

But the computer field just shrugs and keeps doing whatever they were doing. Given what the hackers of the 60's and 70's did on crap machines with no resources, you'd think people would want to review what they can teach modern developers.

AI doesn't change the Apple Guidelines, I write my business UI once and translate it between React Native and React using an LLM

4.2 Minimum Functionality Your app should include features, content, and UI that elevate it beyond a repackaged website. If your app is not particularly useful, unique, or “app-like,” it doesn’t belong on the App Store. If your App doesn’t provide some sort of lasting entertainment value or adequate utility, it may not be accepted. Apps that are simply a song or movie should be submitted to the iTunes Store. Apps that are simply a book or game guide should be submitted to the Apple Books Store.

I have a 9-track CCT tape reader/writer which I've used for tapes going back to 1982 or so. I'm kind of surprised that a 1973 tape is 9-track and not 7-track, but then again I'm not certain when the change to 9-track happened. In any case, after cleaning the tape heads with a now illegal fluid all the reading issues I had at first disappeared, and I managed to retrieve the content of every tape I tried, from various minicomputers (some of them DEC).

That was the only way to avoid the insane shutter lag that was very common on Android phones at the time. It's called SnapChat not HoldStillForAMinuteChat so it made sense.

Blame Google if you want to blame anyone. They could have mandated maximum shutter lag times (maybe they do now, I don't know).

Most of the requirements for that feature are UEFI features or a TPM, and have nothing to do with the CPU

The actual CPU requirements are VMX, SLAT, IOMMU and being 64 bit, which have all been available on the Intel side at least, since at least 2008, with some coming available even before that.

The CPU requirement was just an attempt to force people to buy new hardware they didn't need. Nothing more.

A perfect example of this is the Ryzen 5 1600. Its not officially supported but meets every single one of the requirements and had no trouble enabling the feature in the run up to the release of Win11 (before it was blocked for no reason). I know this because I did it.

Also they marked all but one 7th Intel Core CPU as unsupported, and the one they did add just so happens to be the one they were shipping in one of their Surface products. No way you can tell me this list was based fact and not the whims of some random PM when they do stuff like that.

these are extremely outdated recommendations that make no sense. most of the basis for those are studies that took direct correlation as causality. the problem is a crappy lifestyle which incidentally typically includes processed and red meats in large quantities in the western world. saturated fats are hardly a good indicator of anything when you disassociate them from the lifestyle and foods they come with for most people. blue zones are now finally coming out as simply just the places where records sucked. there are plenty of populations with centenarians that had meat rich diets.

yes obesity is bad, as the source enemy of most diseases that kill and are not cancer is inflammation. find a diet that makes you not obese and have low inflammation, that is vastly superior to "Mediterranean diet" or "plant diet" for everyone.

Top talent is also going to these lesser leagues. Mason Cox was a top NCAA basketball player and got recruited to play AFL in Australia. There's quite a pipeline now because that. Same goes for Australia to US football kickers and punters.

Most of these sports are so variable that they qualify as 'unkind' learning environments, per David Epstein's work. Meaning that a large variety of other education is preferable. Patrick Mahomes is a great example. His baseball training has made him a great quarterback.

Point is, if the sport is sufficiently 'unkind' then any player from other sports should be just fine transferring over

> You may think this is unfair, and yes, it is

I'm interested in your definition of fairness that makes hot potato routing unfair.

In my mind, hot potato is fair, every packet gets treated the same, and (mostly) every provider does the same thing.

> it's also quite logical when you consider you don't know where the packet is going in the destination AS. If you have a network spanning Berlin and Hamburg and the packet is going to a different network that also spans Berlin and Hamburg, and you interconnect at both points, and you don't know which city it's actually going to, handing it off at the closest interconnect doesn't risk round-tripping it for no good reason.

There are ways to help with this, BGP MED (multi-exit discriminator) or path extention can help guide towards the best place to deliver traffic. But especially for last mile traffic, you do want it on the destination network sooner than later; if traffic is genetated in Berlin, and the ultimate destination is Hannover and the Hannover endpoint is connected to both Berlin and Hamburg on the destination network, delivering at Berlin provides a better experience than delivering to Hamburg, even though Hamburg is closer to Hannover, because the transit to Hamburg was unnecessary. And if the destination is only connected to Hamburg, delivering in Berlin works about the same as delivering in Hamburg (depending on capacity and use from Berlin to Hamburg on both networks).

There's certainly situations where having options would be nice, but having options makes things complex, so typical users can't really influence routing. If you have v4 and v6, you may find that routing differs between the two and that does give you a bit of a choice.
