I'm no fan of regular Spring, but it offers some legitimate value and has relatively comprehensible behaviour. It doesn't break grep: when a class is instantiated by Spring you can find a reference to that class, and most IDEs can also follow those references. Adding a new dependency doesn't change its behaviour.

Spring Boot is real a step change in comprehensibility, in the wrong direction. It's on a similar level to adding COME FROM to the language. You're not wrong to complain about Spring/Guice in general, but implying that they're remotely comparable to Spring Boot is thoroughly misleading. It's not the same thing at all.
Yes, for decades it was called kundalini syndrome or psychosis, but is probably best described today as meditation-induced psychosis.
Everything you say is true, but in context the important point is that the sort of biases ML models pick up are overwhelmingly related to training insufficiencies and are often incredibly difficult to spot unless you already know they exist. For a practical example, see the recent Twitter image cropping oddities (https://twitter.com/bascule/status/1307440596668182528).

The idea (as quoted) that models are routinely picking up biases directly from researchers is complete nonsense.
Yes, that’s my reason. Also, it’s rather easy to run your favorite Linux distribution on ChromeOS devices compared to Android hardware.

That's a fascinating experience, but also scary, thanks for sharing. It's interesting how meditation can lead you to altered states of consciousness that are in some manners extremely similar to psychedelics.

> I've taken much more pleasure and satisfaction from lucid dreaming instead, which is something I still do to this day.

I feel like the potential therapeutic benefits of lucid dreaming are incredibly unexplored. Maybe partially because it can be difficult and inconsistent to induce them, especially depending on the person. I don't know if there's any one technique that works well for everyone.

When I use developer tooling in other platforms I’m usually disappointed. I shouldn’t need some special native library installed on my system so I can install a dependency. It shouldn’t take me hours to get my local developer toolchain set up.

I found this comment odd - it does take some time to get a modern Java dev env up and running from scratch. For e.g. you have to at least download/install gradle or maven after the JDK. And then the author goes onto to talk about the Testcontainers project for which it appears you need to set up Docker. And so on. Wonder if I missed the meaning there.

Funny that it then goes on to list lots of stuff where no human support is actually involved. The support developers want is to get a person to talk to when Google's algorithms ban their app or account for no reason and wrecks their business.
Spring proper is (relatively) fine; you can make applications with it that are more-or-less maintainable. Spring Boot is very different. It's a write-only framework, and while businesses may have enthusiastically adopted it, it's new enough that they haven't (yet) had to pay the maintenance costs and realise how bad they are.
> people don't get their welfare cheque.

A "fun" anecdote I heard was that every 1 day of outage of Centrelink's mainframe would result in 5-7 children with broken bones.

You see, some alcoholic high-strung fathers in rural communities were spending their welfare cheques mostly at the local bottleshop. If the cheques stopped, their booze supply stopped, and their withdrawal symptoms would send them into mad rage. All too often, they'd take it out on their kids.

Apparently someone at Centrelink was tracking this kind of stuff by gathering paediatric admissions data from hospitals.

While I was there they had a 3-day outage that everyone just laughed off. You do the maths.
TBH, I don't even need to switch to i3WM just for some reason most Linux distros don't come with any power saving options enabled.

Well, we're going to need a new slur for journalists, something which is reminiscent of their rampant hypocrisy, their agendas, and general desire to throw stones without repercussion. "My side's violence is speech; your side's speech is violence" is the new refrain and how I would love to hear coined a word which can adequately encompass that kind of loathsomeness.
Maybe I am wrong, but I feel they have published this a bit prematurely? The data is reported honestly, but their power (as indicated by the confidence intervals) is pretty terrible. I wish they had waited longer.

At the same time the trend looks bad, and one would suspect it will continue to look bad. But the group with the outcome is pretty small. I hope they plan to keep monitoring this population.

EDIT: I should point out that they backup their data with antibody activity assays which do support the narrative in their primary outcome data.

EDIT2: ahh, I think I just don't like this result. Frankly it doesn't look good. Boy am I glad I live somewhere there isn't any circulating COVID.
> People who want native apps from a source other than Apple or Google can pretty easily get them: Cydia's existed longer than the App Store has, and Google makes it easy to sideload anything.

It might be easy for tech-savvy people but not for the average customer. Installing Cydia on an iPhone requires jailbreaking, I think. Sideloading is easier but you have to jump through a few hoops to be able to install apps.

Compare voice recognition in 2001 to 2021.
This requires him to be aware of each pattern/“bias” in the data, which he isn’t, which is the reason we use the algos in the first place.

Come to think of it, isn’t that an interesting venue for GAN-esque methods to detect the relation of patterns falling into these categories of biases? Or is that recursive problem? If not, put me in the paper :-)
While it's amazing, they made the remote extensions proprietary. So projects like VSCodium (which is VSCode minus the telemetry) cannot use it. Very crappy move by Microsoft. I think they are extending that behaviour to other parts of VSCode - I think their python LSP has proprietary bits now.

In Bangladesh alone 150 million people are projected to be displaced by rising sea levels by 2050. Many South American countries are suffering from spiking rates of kidney failure as the climate warms, which is already a factor in the US border crisis as an increasing proportion of migrants suffer from kidney disease.
This is absolutely not the case. Enterprise app developers (etc.) are not stupid. The domain and the business problem are often extremely complex and hard to understand.
Awesome Viewer for GitHub's Awesome Lists: http://awesome.digitalbunker.dev/

I've been working on a viewer for Github's Awesome lists to make them more useable. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm close.

With most of the lists being text based, it was hard to know if the repo it linked to was still being maintained and popular enough to safely use in personal projects.

Now anyone that uses my project can easily visualize all of the repos and query them to find projects that are still actively maintained.

SELinux is a stopgap... it would be better for the system to provide a PowerBox to select files, instead of hoping your programs access the right files. It gives you far more expressive power and safety, and protects you from confused deputies or malicious software.

Some day we'll move to capability based systems, and I hope this means we can finally ditch the false idea that you can enumerate all the bad programs, and write ones that never go wrong, nor get confused.
After a particularly horrific trip on DXM, some of Lovecraft's writing was by far the best description of what I went through mentally. I remember my jaw dropping when reading a few Lovecraft passages that seemed to perfectly capture my mental state and the horror of it.

Was it because Lovecraft had any special insight into reality? Nope, not at all. But he had insight into some of the horrors that can emerge from the depths of our own minds. Probably partially because, like you said, he was a little bit crazy.

That sounds very interesting.
Some words trigger strong negative emotions for many people. For example, anyone with a loved one who died by suicide can be triggered by the word 'suicide'. They can be working productively and happily, see the word 'suicide' in some code, and then spend the rest of the day suffering.

People deserve to work and live without triggering their traumas.

Name changes are cheap to implement. For example, we can use 'shutdown' instead of 'suicide' and help our teammates to be more productive and happy.

So let's just all do the name changes without complaining or judging the people who ask for them. We'll do it because we care about them.

Potential trigger words and suitable alternatives:

- suicide, abort -> exit, crash, stop, halt, shutdown, terminate

- kill -> stop, halt, shutdown, terminate

- infect -> assimilate, convert, install

- master -> main, primary, leader

- slave -> backup, secondary, follower

- blacklist -> denylist, blocklist

- whitelist -> allowlist, passlist

- daemon, demon -> server, worker

- cop -> supervisor, monitor, watchdog

- male -> plug, prong, sender

- female -> jack, socket, receiver

- mate -> connect, link, join

- gender-changer -> adapter, socket-to-socket adapter, plug-to-plug adapter
Pleasant exchange from two developers with similar projects
The wording of the "act on your behalf" message is very frustrating indeed. I don't like to think about how many app installs I've lost due to the wording of this message. I've had worried users query me about it directly, but presumably many more have just abandoned the installation without contacting me.

Here's another GitHub forum thread asking about it:

https://github.community/t/enable-you-to-trigger-actions-in-...

A trivial wording change would go a long way toward fixing this problem. Unfortunately according to GitHub Support (post 15 in that thread) "The current wording is not considered a bug."

Not quite the right answer, but if you want fine grained permissions in an OS, look to Genode, or other capability based systems.

If you want to see another way to do it, check out the "guest pass" that Flickr lets you hand out... you can grant permission to read an otherwise private folder, and you can revoke it at any time, just like a read capability in a multilevel secure OS.
The idea that fungi would have rudimentary communication pathways isn't really that insane. That doesn't necessarily make it true, but it always strikes me as odd when people talk about plants, fungi and other non-animal life as if it wasn't life at all.

> there are 10s of millions of people in California who have been trying to get healthcare reform passed

I was responding to "who...believes this is a likely scenario?" The argument isn't "this will happen." Just that it shouldn't be beyond the pale of reasonable debate. (Like universal healthcare.)

> If the Federal Reserve decided to implement capital controls, I doubt it would happen democratically

Capital controls are populist. They shift power away from the wealthy to those at the political levers. The Fed would almost certainly not do this; the Treasury could under emergency powers. The potential for popular support would give them cover to do so.
The WBTB (wake back to bed) method works for about 90% of people.

I find this a little amusing because it's the exact reason why Microsoft lost their IE anti-trust case. Users were given IE by default, and because using something else required effort IE took a huge chunk of the market remarkably quickly. That was deemed to be violating their effective monopoly position on OSs to influence their position in a different market (browsers). Microsoft were made to add a screen in the Windows on-boarding process that gave users options about which browser they wanted.

Sometimes using user 'laziness' to maintain or gain market share doesn't work out so well for you.
I use both. On Debian stable, ZFS is a piece of cake, because the kernel version never changes. You just install the ZFS package (which is actively maintained) and call it a day. I imagine on something like Arch it could become quite a pain, though (never tried it myself).

> What could we have in a World's Fair now that looks ahead?

With a few more years of AI, I want software that can automate engineering - so, I can say “figure out a factorio layout that makes 1 rocket per minute”. Then “play factorio from scratch to liftoff”.

Translated into the real world, I want to a robot that can build a brick wall, and an AI that can design and manufacture the brick wall building robot. I think this is structurally the same problem as “play factorio” - the only difference being a few orders of magnitude of complexity.

Ultimately I want to be able to take a few minimal pieces of robotics and drones and stuff into the wilderness (or Mars) and say “build me a house like this with working solar panels and plumbing”, and it can gather resources, design and assemble intermediate machines (Eg sawmills) and bootstrap the manufacturing needed to arrange atoms in any specifically described way.

This is both a utopian and dystopian technology. At scale the same technology could be used to both clean up the great pacific garbage patch, and convert the Amazon rainforest into a massive industrial wasteland. I don’t think this is as far away from our current technology as we imagine it to be. (Decades not centuries)

Cool, but not creating an account just to try it.
It is exactly what you’d do if you maximise profits. The general argument against the Apple/Google tax is “think of the small businesses!” They use this argument because no politician wants to be against the small business owner.

Google and Apple understand this well. Since small businesses account for a small % of their revenue, they simply offer a better deal to those small businesses. Now Spotify/Epic Games/Candycrush people will have to argue “but think of the large businesses!” That doesn’t have the same ring to it somehow.

The majority of App/Play Store revenue is protected from government intervention, and profits are maximised. Make sense?

> Globally, no one that matters wants it to fail, therefore it won't.

I’ve seen this argument before, and can’t help to think how naive it sounds.

Can you name one other case where the fact that we don’t want something to fail results in it being unable to fail?

Actions have consequences. No matter how much we don’t want a particular set of consequences to occur, they will if we perform the wrong actions.

If they don't release the source and the custom drivers and patches they use to power the device then they'll probably be in violation of GPL but I'm not sure of the specifics tbh. I do agree that something like this will definitely help the development of touch screen devices on Linux.

> My point was an evolutionary one: wouldn't those couples who choose to reproduce more (assuming you can afford to raise your kids) be selected for, evolutionarily, vs couples who chose to remain childfree?

Keep in mind that the incentive to have kids, evolutionarily speaking, is weak enough that we have had to be bribed with sex to keep things going.

Once sex and reproduction were decoupled, you're definitely looking at much more than a couple of generations before biological selection pressures start having the effect of an increase in the desire to have children per-se, as distinct from the desire to have sex.

OTOH, cultural incentives are an entirely different matter: whether we're talking about religions decrying or forbidding the use of contraceptives, or advocacy for those who want children at all to have larger families, these can have a snowballing effect especially since culture is passed down to offspring even more readily, though not as reliably, than genetic traits (eg. you can pass your culture on to an adopted child, or to a spouse, etc.).

This selects for cultures that are good at spreading themselves and good at encouraging reproduction, and selects humans for a general tendency toward susceptibility to indoctrination (at least during childhood) including the imperative to eventually pass the cultural package onward. To a certain extent it also selects for acceptance of authority and resistance to indoctrination with beliefs that conflict with already held ones as an adult.

Actually, all these particular biological traits are selected for and reinforced by so many other different feedback loops, that cultural packages can mostly just assume their presence and focus on leveraging them.

> yes, resonance can be significant, but that still doesn't necessarily mean that the energies here are significant, nor that the frequencies applied are the right frequencies, and resonant enough, for damage.

I did not claim that the proposed method has to be harmful. I stated that ultrasound imaging gives little to no insight in what happens at frequencies that are an order of magnitude or two higher than that. The second reply was an attempt to do away with the misconception that "higher flux of energy" was necessary for damage.
