This tells what happens when the virtual terminal receives some input. You can pass that input from a file and it would do the same.

There's also a whole lot that happens when you press a key to generate said input (and I don't even mean at the hardware level), which is perhaps much less known.

So following the examples in the article, inbetween the sent and recv, it's actually bash interpreting what the sent command is, not the terminal?

For example, the ls command example from the article:

sent: "l"
recv: "l"
sent: "s"
recv: "s"
sent: "\r"
recv: "\r\n\x1b[?2004l\r"
recv: "file\r\n"
recv: "\x1b[?2004hbork@kiwi:/play$ "

The interpretation and processing of "\r" to return the final output is actually bash processing this, not the terminal?
It's more like if you posted on Facebook that you were going to do 120mph in your car if ten people DMed you "do it", and you didn't get ten such replies. Then being pulled over, while still under the speed limit, for speeding on that basis.
Other fun with control characters: The article caught that Alt is ESC, but didn't catch that Ctrl+[ is too. Check it out in a program that uses control codes, like Emacs or Vi. I myself find it somewhat more ergonomic depending on the action.

Tempting to leave it here but I’ll give it a go.

One thing humans seem to have that is beyond statistics is creativity. In that stats explain what is, and creativity takes what is and makes a dot outside that other people appreciate. No model has demonstrated even attempting the dot, let alone having a good chance of success. What DALL-E does is draw a dot between a few existing points, but never outside.

Humans incidentally have three more things that make for interestingness: emotions derived from feelings, long term memory, and roughly storytelling (~ an ability to turn long term memory into long form recall with a specific reaction intended to a specific audience). I don’t think ML has any of those, but it likely (eventually) gets the latter two.

Meaningness/interestingness require at least a few of those, and it’s what puts most art in a different category than games or math.
So if you win the WC once, you then only perpetually play the WC games and not all the games leading up to it? Yeah, that's really strange and seems to favor the incumbent

> We can now grow enough food to feed the world

We grow food on topsoil.

Topsoil is soil with microorganisms, worms and insects in it. You cannot grow food on sterile soil.

Topsoil takes a long time to form, and very short time to be consumed.

We are using topsoil at a higher rate than it is replenished. The rate at which we use topsoil increases over time.

We are very wasteful with our use of topsoil. We discard ugly vegetables, or vegetables outside certain arbitrary parameters despite them being perfectly edible, or simply to keep prices down.

The reality is: over time, that statement is false. Topsoil is dying, and so are we.
It's made of 160K people. Surely they can't all be that bad as you describe.

Besides, full of MS products that work well, see VS and VS Code, .NET, PowerShell, and so on.
I think you're right. Microsoft is doing /just enough/ to provide a "slack-like" experience that also happens to be very deeply integrated into the rest of their offerings. They can't go to wild or it'll probably alienate the suits and non-techies. The UI is a lowest-common-denominator knock-off of an already popular app the many users are already familiar with, so in that context Teams seems like a solid product. And, as you've said, given a company that's already invested in O365, Azure, and is basically an MS shop, Teams is a pretty solid choice. That doesn't excuse some of its shortcomings, but it does provide a little color to the conversation.
I see it similarly as bike/scooter sharing startups that popped up everywhere. Most of them didn't turn profit, investors lost money and the only one who made a profit was the factory that built them, they are now filling up some abandoned parking lot.
Let's hope not, but good to know yes has me covered :)
Even for something simple like a cake, if you want to use that image and perhaps license it exclusively so no one else has it, that would cost you a lot more than an ML generated cake photo.

Even just an image of whatever with a very specific color would be a huge benefit for designers. Because almost all stock photography is trying to appeal to the broadest audience as possible, they all have a similar muted pallette of colors. Which makes stock photography kind of look like stock photography. ML generated images or even ML manipulated images could change that.
> So I didn't know that when I press backspace in the terminal, "x08" is being sent, not "^H".

"0x08" is "^H". H is the eighth letter of the alphabet. There is no difference between those except for the notation. In the ASCII character set, the first 32 characters are called control characters. This is why many keyboards have ^ on their control keys. The 26 control codes 1 through 0x1A correspond to ^A through ^Z.

PS This relates to the 7-bit ASCII character set, American Standard Code for Information Interchange, composed of control characters for communication control, letters, numbers, and punctuation.

So how long does this get as we keep making derivatives? For an open source project, where there is a seperate license file, it is okay to have it go on forever, but I can understand why you don't want 100s of lines of license information inside your news story.
no, also just disable JS and all sites will run faster than they ever could
> He was charged with armed robbery and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon—despite not actually attacking anyone with the pocketknife

Perhaps he should have been charged with attempted armed robbery (IIRC from law school the punishment for attempt crimes is the same), but overall these charges sound right.

In general, there are two kinds of assault: putting someone in reasonable fear of imminent unlawful battery, or attempted battery (even if you miss). This would have been the former.

There may be specifics of the relevant statutes (in whatever jurisdiction) that made one of these charges inappropriate, but the reporter doesn't give any indication this is the case.

Does anyone else (who works in criminal law, or at least remembers crimlaw better than I do) have ideas on the appropriateness of the charges?

> prices in recessions are raised in response to supply issues, resulting in less quantity supplied

However it is software, supply is infinity and incremental cost is 0.

> But it's clear that in this recession there's less startups

Its clear thus far in this recession, that more people than ever are in employment. Thus more slack customers.

Inflation however ...
nope sorry 100% serious
Great satire, but sadly too late. The people who worked on deep-fakes, DALL-E and the likes of it won't stop and delete their products. Instead, evidence will be harder and harder to trust, until we've got a zero-trust society, in which the most manipulative party wins. In today's world, that would be Putin. Isn't it wonderful when AI developers have no sense of ethics?

This is true, but it's also true that the world produces enough food such that no ones needs to starve, and yet people still starve. A quarter of food produced ends up in landfills (Europe estimates 20% food waste, as high as 30-40% in US).
They’ll ignore it either way.
It doesn't matter, it was advice for all.
Yeah this doesn't make sense to me. I've used my iPhone with NFC to pay for transit in multiple cities in multiple countries, I don't see any reason Melbourne Trams can't implement it too.

Is't this basically what happened with Destiny 2 channels earlier this year? Someone faked DMCA claims from Bungie across a wide swathe of Destiny 2 channels, possibly as retribution for having "music archiving" (which probably technically is a copyright violation) copyright-struck.
> The world has been getting better, and continues to get better

...and as a result of that, the world's population has been growing and growing (and the standard of living of this population has also on average improved), which leads to more CO2 emissions, a higher consumption of finite natural resources etc. etc. Now there are two possible theories:

(1) things will continue to get better, if any problems will come up along the way we will surely be able to solve them.

(2) we are accelerating towards a brick wall which we can't see yet, but when we see it it will be too late to avoid the crash.

Why would the average user buy this over the M2 Air?

Average user = Not doing anything that requires Windows or Linux.

M2 Air has a better screen, faster CPU (plugged or unplugged), faster GPU, more battery life, fanless, runs cooler, better speakers, thinner, and it's cheaper.

Also, I think not having function keys is a mistake. Touch keys are just awful on a keyboard. In addition, if you want to do even light gaming, you'd want function keys
I wish I had kept my amber terminal. Great for working late at night, very focused. Having a modern display projecting amber colours just isn’t the same.
> Whats their competitive advantage? The tech is commoditized.

+1. Content will become even more important as the bandwidth keeps increasing (hello, 5G!). Netflix solved some hairy problems back when streaming was hard due to bandwidth and other limitations. But as those constraints are getting addressed the content is again a hero.

As tech gets commoditised I wonder where else do we expect to see similar shifts.

A somewhat similar shift occurred last decade in India in the online retail payments space. Early in 2010s there was this rush of pre-paid wallets that enabled customers to overcome the pain of online payments. So any product/company that had superior payments experience stood to win. But then UPI happened and retail/online payments is now more or less a solved problem in India and has become a commodity. So the focus is now on quality of product/service that's delivered, payments is taken for granted.
Wonder when reading about security data of police … could it be used to fly 16TB hard drive or solid state drive and faster than cables … you know say 2 hour flight time with 1 Gb/s * 7200s about 7000Gb or 700GB. Even if 100 Gb/s it would be 70TB. Sorry but for a guy who actually drive hard drive to update system in the older days I wonder whether this is still relevant thinking.
Oh, neat!
As tech workers we might realize that the pendulum has swung in our direction for some time now: remote work, higher salaries with better benefits, driven by lots of liquidity and high valuations. Even the notion of a 4-day workweek is creeping in. Now, as valuations regress, you have Google’s CEO saying workers should be more “entrepreneurial” and Facebook saying do more work with less and under more intense scrutiny, widespread layoffs and hiring freezes, it’s clear the pendulum is starting to swing in the other direction. You may reject the pendulum analogy but you can’t deny the inherent cyclicality in these things.

As for holiday shutdowns,
I think these actually benefit the company more than the employee. If you give people a week off they were most likely going to take some or all of anyway, they tend to accept less floating PTO and then it just nets out to coordinated PTO. This prevents clever folks from taking those 5-7 days during peak periods and working the relaxed time when so many people are out of office you can’t really deliver on anything significant anyway.
yup that was me :-)

cant wait! OS wide dark theme makes encountering a big white screen very painful...
You know what Google is doing with Chrome, right? Adding APIs for battery status, USB access, etc. will lead to more information about your device ending up in their possession.
totally agree. the problem isn't "regex's are hard" - it's "math is hard". Regex's (especially real regexes that are actually regular languages) are intuitive and terse, but direct and efficient.

What's hard is that even regular grammars, let alone CFG, let along non-CFG, are hard for people to grasp.

The problem is HARD, not the solution!
American media's obsession with writing about how China copied everything and nothing original gets done there.

It’s so bad that if an organisation uses Teams I take that as a red flag and would decline to be interviewed for a permanent job AND will price that in for my contract rate.

For me, use of teams signals the impotence/incompetence of the CTO and that other poor technical and managerial choices will persist at the organisation.
> I think a tool like Microsoft Excel is a great thought process for UX. I'm not saying it's perfect. But you have a product with such a wide audience experience range

Today MS UX, UI whatever they call it, is a destitute, a failed embryo. Using it every day is an exercise in masochism. Try to resize a window element with 1px width on a UHD monitor.
And i repeat myself: light gray on black ?
Really want to learn something from MS: see win32 until win 2000 and office untill office 97.
And waiting 1s for every cell in excell to advance is a ... problem, not a UX advance.
The issue isn't that 17490 / 300000 is a small number. The issue is that the road wear is not being paid by the entity creating that wear, and is disproportionately being borne by those actually trying to solve climate change problems by driving smaller, electric vehicles.

If there is currently not enough taxes being collected to maintain the roads, then start taxing those who do the most damage. That entity can then amortize the tax over their 300,000 tomatoes.

We take GDPR very seriously in the EU. Fines are steep. There are difficulties getting foreign companies to comply, and there isn't a one-size-fits-all compliance toolbox for those breaches.

Another commenter mentioned Topaz AI upscaling, and Pixelmator has the "ML Super Resolution" feature; both work remarkably well IMO. There are a number of drop-in and system default resolution enhancement processes that work in a pinch, but the quality is lacking compared to the commercial solutions. There are still some areas where DALL-E 2 is lacking in realism, but anyone handy with photo editing tools could amend those shortcomings fairly quickly.

On-demand stock photo generation probably is the next step, particularly when combined with other free media services (Unsplash immediately comes to mind). Simply choose a "look" or base image, add contextual details, and out pops a 1 of 1 stock photo at a fraction of the cost of standard licensing. It'll be very exciting seeing what new products/services will make use of the DALL-E API, how and where they integrate with other APIs, use cases, value adds like upscaling and formatting, etc.
Yes. But this is how world works. I suggest you to try doing it yourself: get rid of all fossil-fuel based heating and cooking appliances, replace your car with an EV, and maybe set up your own renewable power generation if your area's electricity isn't green.

It is all doable, but it is expensive.
Pro rata and follow-on I believe.
Apple also often gave Thanksgiving week off. BUT... Steve Jobs wouldn't send the E-mail telling us that until the last minute.

After several years of this happening, I decided to book plane tickets to see my family before the prices got astronomical. Sure enough... that was the one year we didn't get it off.

I went anyway.
I can't tell if you're astroturfing, but just in case you're not, your problems are pretty easy to fix.

Sorry, I meant Fission of course (existing plants), Fusion seems more promising in terms of outlay vs return.
Yes, most people are idiots. Ever thought that for those people to "articulate what they really want" means for you to try to undestand them and to speak their (technical) language ?
Dare I ask: how much?
Not sure where you live, but where I’m from, an increase/decrease in home value affects your proportion of the overall property taxes but not the absolute amount. If everyone’s home goes down by 20% then everyone gets same tax bill.
It is bad. But:

As long as DALL-E isn't caught painting out a 1-to-1, reverse searchable copy of an image, its not really as bad as copilot, IMO.

The issue isnt just that copilot is trained on my GPL code, its that it might decide to copy paste lines from it, including my comments, etc.
I wasn’t talking about deaths but about cost. The data is pretty clear on that too which is why solar and wind have risen while new fission plants decline.
Call it Unixy or something - unix philosophy of having each program do something separate.

> Surprisingly few browsers do this--Lynx, Links, and w3m all have their own networking code

I think people are suspicious of curl because it is a common utility, and they think it can't possibly have got it right - plus there's something mildly fun about figuring out how to monitor a socket and send/receive IP packets for the first time.

I have played around a bit with the Curl code a bit, in part I also suspect other programs do it to get "closer" i.e. being able to manage/dispatch events from a thread directly instead of some signal from a curl thread, probably something about security and thread safety too...
I know it’s a dumb question, but what am I supposed to do with this thing?
UX is more like a vegetable soup.
I mostly experienced it in the 1.x versions, so my experience is coming from that.

As an administrator I appreciated that it was easy to setup. The control panel was very powerful, and it had a very good selection of themes and add-ons. I didn't like the cost ($150/yr iirc), but it was worth it since other offerings weren't as good in my opinion. XenPorta made it simple to make an attractive blog-like homepage. XenForo's templating system let me easily customize views and CSS styling. It had a simple like system, but there were some reaction add-ons that worked very well on the forums I owned/administered.

As a user I think it has a very good UX. The editor was nice and easy to use. Animations felt polished and unobtrusive. The email templates and notification systems were very useful as a user for receiving updates. It used modals sparingly and when it did it made the UX better.

I think 2.x is a lot more polished now, although I haven't used it much. I felt that 1.x required a few add-ons and a custom theme to be fully-featured, but with those add-ons it couldn't be beat. I think even modern forum systems could learn a lot from XenForo, but my opinion is of course biased since I'm so familiar with XenForo.
No. It’s over managed. If I was handed teams I could vastly improve it on my own over a 6 month period. However the most significant change would be replacing Azure AD/B2C for auth with literally any other auth solution.

I’d need a year to overhaul AD/B2C and would probably want to hire a team of two more devs so we could get it right for all use cases. Even then it could be so broken that it’s almost impossible to fix in place.
That's not how technology works. Unless you want the world to hide & censor the information on how to make similar models, the data exists for anybody with sufficiently powerful computer resources to make similar models. The only thing that hiding away this tech would do is restrict access to well-funded attackers, which seems worse than the current situation.
This is what you get for having friends.
I am not claiming that it does not have an effect, I am contending that this assertion:

Only the images are generated by AI. The prompts seem to be written by humans. Impressive still.

I think the main "selling point" of edbrowse for sighted people might be its scripting capabilities. You can automate a lot of browsing with it if you take the time. See the user guide: http://edbrowse.org/usersguide.html#script

I've been curious about edbrowse for a long time, finding it a fascinating and inspiring project. It's a somewhat hidden gem for sure. Then again, I failed to build it on my (tiny) distro, and I occasionally think that maybe the internal scripting language, mail client, etc create "too many" temptations for a casual user.

A simple line-mode website pager that encourages Unix pipes for any user-defined task (maybe even the javascript engine could be built as an external application?) would be enough for a modest hobbyist coder like me, I guess. Something like the nmh mail handler, but for web browsing: https://www.unix.com/man-page/linux/7/nmh/

This is by no means meant as a harsh critique or whining, though. As indicated, the project, Karl Dahlke, Chris Bannon and other devs do deserve tremendous respect. It is quite possible that a heavily pipes-oriented web browsing would be too fragmented for actual, day-to-day usage.

The line-editing paradigm nonetheless has its beauty and a compelling simplicity, even in 2022. Keep it going!
