The low end iPads come with an A14. That’s not exactly a slouch and has the keyboard accessories
It's just a spelling mistake.
The best technology is invisible
base 10 is fake. I think Samsung should just show actual storage capacity in GiB on the screen. Optionally they can sell the device as 477GiB
I'm out of the loop, what was the fiasco?
Nobody gets phished with a plain text email/site that says “give me your system access”.

Creating a replication of their intranet gateway requires recon to know what gateway they use, (if they use a custom api) recreate that api, and finding who to actually send the fake page to.

I’d call this spear fishing. That’s sophistication. Recon and tailoring to the target is sophisticated. It may not be super complicated, but it shows sophistication.

Sophistication is a spectrum between ”hey mister, and I have your credentials?” and nationstate APT’s.
What downsides do you see?
You should have priced it at $15 for a permanent license desktop app. I'd pick it up as a snack purchase. But I'd never pay $5/mo for so little.
Shouldn't try, population decline is a good thing.
Deflationary money would be a pretty bad thing.

Good thing ETH is not money. It might potentially be a good asset to store value in, sure
It's funny how the higher compression ratios make everything look similar to a style Gerhard Richter often used. It could be used as an effect in painting apps.
I love that it looks so rustic.
No no, you stick around, reduce productivity, find suitable job offers for each of your coworkers and also show the offers to your employer. Then when the company descends into chaos and the building is pretty much on fire they still wont pay :)
I will also create this tool
Start marketing her company? She's now solved two problems, first she has a client, second she has a track record.
what about the loss in percentage points of the tech workforce? Has the overall number of tech related jobs remained stable for over twenty years so percentage points would have no relevancy?
Of course, but it's about features that slip in through the web page (for instance via Javascript).

Technically, you're not allowed to ship games which then download interpreted Lua scripts which change or add features to the game for instance. You'll have to release an update through the App Store instead.

(unless Apple has relaxed this rule of course, I haven't checked for the last 4 years or so)
> Because Google would be pushing it hard? E.g. when you click a link in the YouTube app, it doesn't open it in Safari, rather it shows you a "helpful" dark-pattern prompt about opening it with: Chrome

Ironically the reason this dark pattern exists is because Apple refused to implement support for user-controlled URI handlers in the first place.
You mean an A14 iPad? That’s not exactly slow by any means and the newest A15s that come in the phones are not appreciably faster.
I crossed so many good laptops from my buy list because of some silly keyboard decisions (oh, Asus), and MacBook fellas shrug on my complaints :)
What does energy neutral mean? What does properly designed mean? And at what cost to comfort or the property? You could turn off all your electricity and heat yourself with kerosene and have used no electricity for the year.
Half the world doesn't even get the option or even a waitlist. I've stopped caring at this point about the Deck because of it.
Eip 1559 saved eth holders billions of dollars. It's not possible to perfectly design a system from the start, and in fact ethereum was explicitly started as a work in progress.

Bitcoin would need massive changes to even have a potential to become money. Currently it's the antithesis of money - not backed by anything, in fact the opposite - requires billions per just to function.
> The schools I'm looking at only offer Computer Science and Computer Engineering (no "Software Engineering" degrees), and I'm already sure I'm not interested in a computer science degree.

I have a software engineering degree. It’s essentially a CS degree missing a couple of 3rd/4th year courses (Operating systems and networking for mine) and has a couple of adjacent courses (project management and team stuff).

The “degree in a related field” component of programming jobs is largely a filter, and has begun to have less effect over the last few years as non-degree-holding programmers have shown they can be quite adept at software development.

CE and EE are hard work degrees. There’s lots of math, and lots of theory. I would study them if you have a genuine interest.

I would not worry about the layoffs happening now. Software isn’t going anywhere. This is just big companies trying to appease Wallstreet. They’ll be hiring again in no time.
It was about 20 mins using React Three Fiber (not counting a bug filing related to their npm dependencies).

> And yet KHTML was forked into WebKit which was forked into Blink, just to name one.

Bad example. KHTML was LGPL-licensed when Apple forked it (looking at https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/khtml, it may be dual LPGPLv2/GPLv3 or later licensed now). That probably is _the_ reason WebKit always was open source.
> Amazon was not even making a closed source fork of ES, they were merely offering managed hosting of the open source version of ES.

That sounds even worse. Whatever happened, ES didn't gain anything by having an open business friendly license (as it appears from the events).

> As Elastic is making money by selling hosting, they did not like the (admittedly unfair) competition from AWS, they decided to stop doing Open Source.

That's sad. ES went from "business friendly opensource license" to "closed source". Now there's no open-source code at all (from ES). Some restrictive open-source code is better than closed source. Always.

> And actually now, AWS is maintaining an open source fork of ES...

I think, it's not out of generosity. It has customers.
And at the scale of what Google is doing and just how much impact even seemingly trivial changes can have on millions if not billions of people, taking care of diversity is actually important.

Just imagine something as small as a change in color in a website element - 8% of men and so 4% of the global population are color blind. That's 320 million people potentially affected. A copy text that requires more than 4th grade literacy skills in English to grasp? Like half of Americans, 165 million people, potentially affected. An illustration graphic using cows as an example for whatever? A potential offense to a billion of Hindu Indians.

And the list goes on and on and on. With Google holding ~85% of the global market share in search or 2.5 billion MAUs for Youtube, taking care about diversity is not even close to optional - it's foundational to make sure the company doesn't get into any sort of trouble.
Wonder how long it'll take until SF switches side to either republicans or independent. Maybe once even the super rich leave, and all is left to vote is the crackheads.
Solidarity among workers starts with... Solidarity.

Privileged or not, they are all salaried, the more we can all agree that if you depend on a salary you are part of the same class of people the more power to workers we get.
Agency owner, ~10 years exp:

1. Talk to people. At the very start of an agency business, you get clients by talking to people - at networking events, conferences, via LinkedIn, etc. You don't get those first clients by sharing stuff on socials or doing paid ads.

2. You'll never make money if you start with that negative assumption - "companies that are strapped for cash already". Companies have cash, otherwise they wouldn't be alive. You just need to be a valuable place for them to invest that cash.

3. When you first start out as an agency, you'll do a lot of underpriced jobs, say yes to lots of things and learn a lot, but not make much money. Later you'll learn how to say no more and make more money. Read Blair Enns' book "Win without Pitching".
Over time it will, but not at the speed we saw Chrome take over on desktop back in the days.
> Every company I've worked for has had some core group of people who cared about doing good work and doing the right thing... but they're actually operating adversarially in a way that collects the most rewards with the least effort.

Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy! The people who game the system eventually move to further enforce the system (for their own benefit), at the expense of the purpose the for which the system was first put in place.

Really? Electronic ignition and fuel injection alone are advantageous enough, not to mention the ability of at least one Rotax engine to use true automotive gas (gasohol).

As the article points out, the writing was on the wall for leaded fuel decades ago. The GA industry killed itself by dragging ass on eliminating the need for it, abetted by the burdensome FAA certification process for any aviation advancements.

It may be too late to save GA. BasicMed was a big help, and the increased pace of STC approval has been a boon. But with the FAA derelict in its duty to protect airports (see the sellout of Santa Monica as an example) and corrupt local governments eager to destroy our public airports and sell their land to developers... the future looks grim indeed. Just as electric training aircraft, unleaded fuel, and less-polluting and more-efficient engines render the anti-aviation cabal's excuses moot.
> The fact that the British won't come to terms with this is causing its collapse

No, the collapse is caused by the government which has been methodically dismantling it for a couple of decades now, replacing it with private health insurance and moving the ownership of NHS trusts and GP offices to private companies.
How can you maintain a list of private, closed source forks?
Fair. I think it really depends on the co-working space and how you approach it. I've worked at some co-working spaces where there was no sense of community and it felt hard to socialize. I've worked at others that managed to cultivate very tight knit communities that were better than any socializing I've done with "real" coworkers.
Your wife is still studying? So she probably has never worked in the field, right?

Maybe it's not better for her to start working for a company to get her name in the street and connect with relevant players/customers first?
Even better, I think is to put the API first without putting a communication layer on top (REST via HTTP, gRPC or graphql) in form of plain old functions/methods/types and include that in whatever communication layer is to be built on top such as a REST API.
We really should be questioning how companies are allowed to grow that large before generating a profit.

If your company's revenue expenditure starts growing to around 1% of the GDP of a small city and you're still LOSING money, at what point and how much employee-risk needs to be taken on for you to prove your business model?

Also crazy that any of these employees ever felt secure. headcount in the thousands to tens of thousands and operating in the red? That's chum in the water.
But that all boils down to are we having a scientific conversation or a philosophical conversation? In my opinion the only useful conversation is a scientific on. A philosophical conversation will and can never be resolved so if of no importance to this discussion. We can use philosophy to help guide our scientific conversation, but in the end only a scientific conversation can be helpful in reaching a meaningful/practical conclusion.

So back to the questions of "What is knowing?" "Are talking like someone with theory of mind and having a theory of mind the same thing?"

If your argument is that the only way to answer this it to have a first person experience of that consciousness then that's not a scientific question. No one will ever have one for an LLM or any other AI. It's like asking "What's happening right now outside of the observable universe?". If it can't impact us, it's irrelevant to science. If that ever changes it will become relevant, but until then it's not a scientific question. Similarly no person can ever have a first person experience of the consciousness of an LLM, so anything that requires being the LLM isn't relevant.

So that means the only relevant question is what distinction can outside observers make between an agent talking like a theory of mind and having a theory of mind. And given a high enough accuracy / fidelity of responses I think we're only forced to conclude one of two things: 1. Something that is able to simulate having a theory of mind sufficiently well does actually have a theory of mind. OR 2. I am the only person on the planet with a theory of mind, and all of you are all just simulating having but don't actually have one.

It's all "Searle's Chinese room" and "What consciousness is" discussions all over again. And from a scientific point of you either you get into the "it must be implemented identically as me to count" (which is as wrong as saying an object must flap its wings to fly), or you have to conclude the room plus the person combined are knowledgeable and conscious.
KHTML was LGPL. LLVM is Apache 2. Both are contributed to by companies.

The license matters less than you might think.
Fun fact: resistance sucks and makes your electrons bump into protons and crash causing waste heat. Super conductors are usually supercooled and have 0 resistance and every electronic works more efficiently cooler.
Linux owes its ubiquity over the BSDs more due to the fact that it didn't have to fend off lawsuits at a critical point rather than due to license choice.
You're talking about browsers. The parent is talking about grep.
Starting a business is never easy. There are a lot of hurdles to overcome, but what you need to focus on is the vision of the future you are building and how to get there. If you do that, then all the other details that come with building a business will fall into place.
Which stablecoin are you using and any particular reasons for choosing it?
i was using a similar bind-mount trick as Boxxy for a good 6 months or so, and then reworked it to prefer symlinks a couple months ago. nearly everything behaves as you’d expect with symlinks if you’re just symlinking within ~, and it’s easier to tell what’s going on or debug stuff.

notably, at some point i decided to encrypt my valuables: password store, PII, etc, and have them unlocked on login via PAM. i also wanted these to be locked when i lock my session. if you have, say, a ~/private mountpoint with sensitive stuff, and then ~/.password-store (for your password manager) pointing somewhere into this store, 2 things can happen when you `umount ~/private`

1. if ~/.password-store was a bind mount over ~/private/, your decrypted passwords will still be accessible through ~/.password-store.

2. if ~/.password-store was a symlink into ~/private/, then your passwords aren’t accessible.

chances are you wanted (2), and it might be scary when you discover that’s not what you had, months after setting it up…

i’ve also had some nasty mount duplication, where some cron job bind-mounts the same thing every hour. turns out linux will happily let you create identical bind mounts as many times as you want, until `/proc/mounts` has 2000 entries and some O(n^2) behavior somewhere in systemd’s namespace setup makes `systemctl start foo` take 3 minutes before invoking any service code. that was a PITA to figure out.
the worst thing that happens when you “mount” the same thing twice when using symlinks, on the other hand, is you get some very obvious nesting. so anyway, i’ve bit myself a few too many times. i’m very weary to reach for bind mounts anywhere symlinks can also do the job.
upvoted, but the consumer product guarantee is 2 years [1]
(not 6 years. You may refer to the guarantee of offering (paid) repair, which is 7 years for a while now).

And when the consumer product guarantee was extended from 1 year to 2 years, the reversal of the burden of proof moved from 6 months to 1 year.

So for the first year the trader has to prove that the fault didn't exist at the time of delivery, which he fowards to the manufacturer who solves it by simply repairing the product based on the warranty he provides.

After the first year, the burden of proof moves to the buyer, now he has to prove to the trader that the fault already existed at purchase. If the manufacturer provides 2 years of warranty nothing changes compared to above, but if he doesn't you'll be left discussing with the trader (from experience: good luck!)

That's the joke I think.
> What Brown found was evidence of a steady net loss since 2017, resulting more than 3 million fewer New Yorkers.

I think that would have been noticed long ago.
> All these phony paper entities that you can "move" your stuff into in order to pretend to the government that it's not yours anymore

You make it sound like this was something invented by tax -dodging capitalists getting one over on the government. But in reality the only reason paper entities exist at all is because government wills it so.
You decentralize the government. The result might not be much better on average, but then at least people who believe that privacy is a common good can find a space for themselves and be left alone by the rest.
If you release something and expect to retain copyright — that is, you wish to prevent me from decompiling it, redistributing it etc — then you are also taking an ideological position.
It seems to be impossible to submit an issue on the Microsoft GitHub repo, is that intentional?
This is not completely correct. Ethereum's return to validators has 3 sources:

- new issuance

- transaction fees

- MEV

The average yield over the last month (annualized) is over 5%. Source: https://beaconcha.in/pools

Ethereum´s current issuance is 0.55% (654K ETH per year on a circulating supply of 120M, source: https://ultrasound.money/). This is split between the validators which are now around 13.7% of the network (source: https://beaconcha.in/). Resulting in a yield from newly minted ETH of 4%.

The other 25% of the yield comes transaction fees and MEV.

On top of that the ETH consumption through the burn more than compensates the newly minted ETH. As the network is net deflationary (source: https://ultrasound.money/). You can think of a company that pays employees partly with stock options but has also a buyback program. If the buyback program that comes from its ability to generate profit more than compensates the newly issued stock, the employees pay in stock is not self-dilutive.

What I'm basically getting at is that, if the network is not seeing net issuance (i.e. roughly flat or even negative), then the newly minted ETH is real yield. By the simple fact that nominal yield - monetary inflation is positive.
It isn't. I don't intend to generalize to everyone using Rust. But there is a large overlap between Rust evangelists and anti-GPL activists, it seems. I don't want to believe this, but it almost looks like a corporate conspiracy to undermine free software.
> see the outrage when they switched to lightning in the first place

Yeah, Apple have changed their preferred physical connector for phones and peripherals once in the last 16 years, from the 30 pin connector to Lightning. When they did that, there was outrage that they were obsoleting all the devices that used the 30 pin connector because of “planned obsolescence”.

Meanwhile, Android phones have gone from ExtUSB to mini-USB, to micro-USB, to USB-C in the same timeframe with all the accompanying adapter / cable / accessory churn. If Apple had changed to USB-C while Android vendors were still mostly using micro-USB, there would have been a repeat of the outrage about “planned obsolescence” again as evil Apple forced people to switch from using Lightning to USB-C.
I was surprised too. Those candies taste like some mild Mentos, or large Tic-Tacs. I hardly see how this could be so upsetting as to be #5 in the list, right next to fried spiders.

In fact, most of the list makes so little sense I believe this article might have been automatically generated.
Right. I (reluctantly) accept subscriptions if there is something the company does for me every month - in this case it's a javascript app that runs in my browser. There is no countervalue per month, making it unattractive.
> Getting new blood thus may entail getting rid of the Old School interface and going with whatever is 'current'.

And that risks doing absolute horseshit. Outlook's new UI for example hides the cc/bcc behind an additional click, extremely annoying for anyone but personal mail usage. How MS still haven't managed to discover and fix that with their billions of corporate users is astonishing.
I agree, there's a very weird media focus on layoffs right now, without broader context (number of hires, number of companies, number of unemployed, number of people in the workforce etc).
People also genuinely change for the better camera. I knew one girl that liked BTS so much she switched to Android with the Samsung phone with BTS headphones lol.

Nobody bullies someone into getting an iPhone lol because nobody calls or texts anymore they all use FB IG or snap so those group chat memes you heard of have not been a thing for over 5 years.
To me the argument makes more sense in reverse:

Gitflow solves a problem few teams actually have. Throwing away a working (simpler) process of having a single trunk when there's no real benefit doesn't seem like a great idea.

It seems to me that Gitflow just adds a lot of ceremony of keeping multiple branches somewhat in sync through merges left and right.

I'm fine with the argument of keeping existing processes because they work, whatever they are.
That's exactly how conversations with machines went in Idiocracy. Mike Judge was indeed a prophet ahead of his time.

Can't wait till we can ask the AI chat bot to talk to their manager.

Don't market to companies that are strapped for cash. They aren't spending on marketing and if they can, they can't afford to pay you anything afterwards.

If your business is marketing, your starting point it the top 10 ad keywords on Google. If you aren't operating in this space, nobody is going to take you seriously and trust you with their ad budget except as an employee. And the best thing to do is focus on a specific industry and learn it inside and our. The auto sales market is already locked up between 4-5 people and the rehab space is full of criminals (like real felons doing real felonious shit that people will go to prison for someday.). The rest is where opportunity is.

But to reiterate my first point, your target companies have to have that ad budget to begin with.

/signed 5 years in legal marketing spending around $450M/120M traditional/digital per year.
Encryption can be banned or otherwise regulated. While it wouldn't prevent people "with something to hide" from using encryption regardless, it would deter most regular people, which is good enough from the government perspective for the purposes of this exercise.
It isn't solvable, I am willing to put money on it. Not proven rigorously, but mentally one can set up the balls in the final positions and run the puzzle in reverse. the rules change as they can only move orthogonal to a wall or ball they can "push" off, then you can see they can't end up in any configuration which is reachable in the start state, running the normal rules. Keen to hear if if I am wrong OP, but with me andy friend both having 30 and 15 plus minutes respectively, I would imagine we have gone through every possible configuration by now

It would have been nice if the artist drew a human alongside the penguins being compared.
