> The Xbox OS isn't "a custom version of Windows 2000". They took the networking stack and a couple other bits from NT, but otherwise it was built from scratch.

From the whole Win2k obviously not, and it is common for journalists to not be very precise, but at least the kernel seems to have tons of architectural similarities with the NT kernel, and I would not be surprised if it was a derivative?

https://xboxdevwiki.net/Kernel

I also found https://books.google.fr/books?id=-8YlaRclj2gC&lpg=PA603&pg=P... and that's pretty much what I expected. But nobody who knows the difference about kernel vs. whole windows OS think that they would take explorer.exe and random obscure IT stuff and so over, and 150k is not crazy big, but for a core OS kernel this is completely expected.

The high level API seems to be based on a subset of DirectX and even a few pieces of Win32, so that's not completely unrelated either. It's obvious that the GUI was not taken from Windows, that you won't be able to maybe install a printer and so over, and it is probable that tons of custom code was also written, but that does not make the relationship disappear completely.
Conduit looks fantastic, I might start using it and possibly contribute.

No, the bottom bound is $0. Actually, worse than that, as a lot of these programs are scammy "buy my guide to making money" bullshit that'll leave you in the red.

In France too, English words are commonly used to make things sound more interesting, more modern.

Especially hilarious when management uses English words, often improperly, when a perfectly adequate and commonly used French word exists.

Maybe it is a global trend all over the the world since English became the de facto international language.
>it removes pathological situations where people are disincentivised to work because it would mean they lose means-tested support.

That's a problem with how welfare is structured, that can be fixed with changing welfare.

>The great unknown is whether it also disincentivises work itself in a way that would be a negative overall

Why would you think it wouldn't?

>which potentially allows people to make more rational decisions, and negates the need for cruder solutions like minimum wage, regulations, unions etc

If you think you can get leftist/progressive support for UBI by cutting ANY social program, you are in for quite an awakening. Welfare state employes hundreds of thousands of people, they will not support UBI either. The libertarian view of UBI replacing social programs has ZERO chance of passing. So what's left is UBI being just another expense of top of the huge welfare state costs.

eh ... I've never been a driver, but I kinda doubt this right now. A Chicago driver just ran over this women:

https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2020/5/16/21261241/ms-ts-...

We don't know the full story as the video starts with her blocking his car. He shouldn't have run her over obviously. There's no excuse for that. But if he's operating on very small margins, he may have been frustrated they were moving slowly. He allegedly kicked their door, they wouldn't let him in, and then he was just going to dive off. They then blocked his car waiting for the police. The guy turned himself in, so if we give him the benefit of the doubt, it might have been stress rage. He's probably going to serve several months for assault.

People are on edge right now. A lot of companies are profiting and also screwing everyone over they can. You can be a delivery driver, but be aware it might be a very short term gain, and may not cover the cost of maintenance/operation of your vehicle in the long term.

I'm confused on what you're asking, isn't that exactly what the Language Server Protocol is? You can use RustAnalyzer as an LSP for Rust & Vim, I use RustAnalyzer also as the LSP for Rust & Kakoune.
Perhaps the experimental interface, which is a radical shift from the Google StreetView interface that we're all familiar with.

That is how language works. The language you're typing your prescriptivist nonsense in has become bastardized and corrupted from its Latin and Germanic roots over generations, after all.

I’m not sure about the premise of the article but I do concur that startups have been largely unable to develop new technology and commercialize it until relatively recently. During the 2000’s if you were doing a “hard” tech company, investors did not have the patience to invest in these companies and allow them to grow. I worked at several of these startups, many with big VC names you’d recognize and they killed these companies with their short term focus.

Later in that decade with the success of Facebook, investors turned away from these investments and were more interested in finding the next Facebook. Essentially the 2000’s were a kind of lost decade in fundamental technology development. Most of what was built during the decade was the benefactor of cheap computing enabled by 50 years and trillions of dollars in semiconductor investment. Now that we are hitting the edge of what’s possible, it’s time for big, long term, hard tech investment.

It’s only been more recently where people like Elon Musk and to a lesser extent Larry Page at Alphabet have led the way by being willing to take big bets on technology development. In the last several years, we are finally starting to see some venture capital follow where investors are taking a long view and betting on a few “moonshots.” In the last couple years there have been big investments in computing with companies like Cerebrus doing wafer scale computing, PsiQuantum and Rigetti in quantum computing, and various optical computing companies to name a few. Of course, there has also been considerable investment in the AV space as well and the AV space will need lower power, cheaper solutions that you won’t be able to simply buy off the shelf and slap together like almost all of the AV companies are doing today.
Yes, it uses the language server protocol:

One of the problems of Nextdoor's fear-based social network is that "crime and safety" topics are more widely distributed than general topics, so one racist anywhere in your city can poison the whole thing. And it's not just racism. For some reason violent drivers feel like it is a safe space to openly advocate for running down bicyclists and stuff like that.
Vim is happy to be a client for the Language Server Protocol (LSP), and more likely than not there's a language server of your choice available.

Is it this Karol Sikora?

> Promotion of alternative medicine

> Sikora and the School of Medicine at Buckingham have in the past been supportive of alternative medicine. For a short time, Buckingham offered a diploma in "integrated medicine" (a relatively recent euphemism for alternative medicine). Sikora was a Foundation Fellow of Prince Charles' now-defunct alternative medicine lobby group The Prince's Foundation for Integrated Health[24] and Chair of the Faculty of Integrated Medicine, which is unaffiliated with any university; it includes Drs Rosy Daniel and Mark Atkinson, who led Buckingham's "integrated medicine" course.
>
> Sikora is also a "professional member" of the College of Medicine, a patient-oriented healthcare lobby group also linked to the Prince of Wales that appeared shortly after the collapse of the Prince's Foundation. The College has been criticised extensively in the British Medical Journal for its promotion of alternative medicine. These claims have been contested by the College. He is on the advisory panel of complementary cancer care charity Penny Brohn Cancer Care (formerly the Bristol Cancer Help Centre) of whom Prince Charles is a patron, and is a patron of the Iain Rennie Hospice at Home. Statements by Sikora have been critical of unproven methods of alternative medicine, after Parliament member Lord Maurice Saatchi proposed a bill allowing doctors to use unproven experimental therapies, and he has spoken out against claims that an alkaline diet can cure cancer.

I'm not a libertarian, but I generally agree with "my body = my choice".

I don't mind taxes in general (if fair and reasonable, which I don't think the taxes in my country are), but the general principle still applies and coming out against it does sound weird to me. Taxes are a necessary evil to have a society, but I don't think starting from a position of "you should not have control over your body" is going to lead to models of societies that I'd like to live in. And again, you can remove the money part completely, it's just easier to use money than barter for everything.
Found a link to another article in the sidebar:
Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Category or a Continuum? Genetic Analysis of a Large-Scale Twin Study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9183127/

Their conclusion: "These findings suggest that ADHD is best viewed as the extreme of a behavior that varies genetically throughout the entire population rather than as a disorder with discrete determinants."

As someone who has been diagnosed with ADHD, this seems like a more natural explanation. If 5-10% of the population allegedly have a disorder, then maybe the "disorder" is in fact just the tail end of a normal genetic distribution. Doesn't mean that the condition is "made up" or that those people don't deserve some kind of treatment, of course.
Real usage by real people not particularly passionate about adherence to the OSI definition—to me this is its de facto meaning.

I'm not talking about "people who are particularly passionate about adherence to the OSI definition" though. I'm talking about people who are "particularly interested in the actual technicalities of what OSS is", not all of whom may agree with the OSD. But I still argue that such a significant majority do that it constitutes the de facto definition.

Your response assumed the number of people who use the phrase with a looser meaning is small;

Not at all. I am saying that the people using that phrase in the "looser" sense, as you put it, are using it in a colloquial and not technical sense, and that such usage has no meaning as far as what the de facto meaning is, when used in an actual technical context. That's just lack of knowledge, not any attempt to create a different definition.

I see it more like somebody who doesn't know much about cars referring to an engine block as a carburetor. Even if a lot of people make that same mistake, it's still a mistake and the actual definitions of "engine block" and "carburetor" don't change.

Emergency procedures are often done without consent. Because patients are often unconscious and cannot give consent. Just like in your story.
The most "dissonant" example of this design- (or rather, propaganda-) style I've seen yet was in Shanghai, where "law enforcement rules" signs in public places were often done in this "cute style". It really drove the point home of living in a modern Orwellian surveillance state which rules over its people with an iron fist (or rather with a cutesy oversized night stick).

Doesn't negate the rest of your point, but just for your information, business parks have long been called campuses; that's not a Google or infantile thing.
The "wisdom of crowds" thing is supposed to work like those fairground games of guessing the number of sweets in the jar; everyone has their own answer, but you'd expect the answers to be roughly in a normal distribution around the true mean.

Suppose you have a bunch of sincere answers of 1867, 1957, 2101, 2057 sweets, and then someone comes along with an answer of two million. They get a bunch of astroturf accounts, a few celebrity retweets, and suddenly thousands of people are claiming the answer to be two million, skewing the average up. They can even start using the fact that the other answers are different from each other and the average as evidence of their bias!

It is extremely difficult to determine honest effort vs dishonest spin, but it's absolutely vital to the process because you have to exclude the spin guys and all their sockpuppets before you do any kind of averaging or consensus.
I think that is an exception. Most of what I see is heads up about people casing houses and testing car doors, usually with a short video demonstrating and backing up the claims. It’s also helped with youth vandalism.
Good article, a good call to arms.

In my fields of interest (General AI, NLP, machine learning), Chinese research papers even just 20 years ago did not impress me much. Now, it worries me that some of the best published research from China gets translated too slowly.

As a US citizen, I think that our ability vs. China’s ability to market high tech to places like Europe and the upcoming countries in Africa and elsewhere will be all important.

I don’t think that President Trump’s approach is correct, BTW. We should invest more in education, research and infrastructure. He is right to push back, but much more moderately than he is doing. If our economic and tech “war” with China badly inconveniences other countries, then there will be blowback.

I don't really care the content at all, but I really wish these platforms took the "phone company" approach, in which they considered themselves neutral carriers of information. In the US, I don't know an obvious issue besides legislative change to enforce this.
