Was there even any doubt what are MS intentions regarding WSL?

MS is known for Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

> "Embrace, extend, and extinguish" (EEE), also known as "embrace, extend, and exterminate", is a phrase that the U.S. Department of Justice found that was used internally by Microsoft to describe its strategy for entering product categories involving widely used standards, extending those standards with proprietary capabilities, and then using those differences in order to strongly disadvantage its competitors.
This isn't just about the naming convention. Chimera Linux actually doesn't contain any software from the FSF either. Why question I don't know. Maybe the guy just doesn't like Richard Stallman.
Of course Linux offers tons of features people like me or you might like (I'm a KDE dev), but there is also a vast amount of Linux user who for example discovered Linux by installing a VM for an uni project or have to use a POSIX environment for a programming project and then decided to stick with Linux because they liked it. There is a serious risk that people won't be tempted to try the Linux desktop anymore and instead will just use WSL. This is bad as it means less potential new contributors and enforce even more the dominance of Windows on the desktop.
Avoiding violence isn't the be all and end all of rationality.

It may be that the Japanese see hegemony of the US as a lesser evil than the CCP, and hegemony of the latter a risk well worth dying over. This may be quite rational.

I do wonder why there are so many western voices that seem almost giddy about the rise of China as a power. I imagine they don't like the west much. But unless they've also lived in China in recent years, it's just maligning the devil you know.

Exactly. Huge natural disasters happen with regularity, and kill large numbers of people. Why shouldn't we look for ways of avoiding them, especially if we can also derive electrical power from them (and thereby avoid burning fossil fuels)?

Of course, they're also a huge technical challenge, and their feasibility is questionable, but that shouldn't stop us from at least investigating and researching the issues.
Again, I personally couldn’t care less about the US politics and I certainly won’t bother spamming your politicians.

Still, to push your reasoning, what if I’m not in NH but I plan to move there in the near future from a neighboring state?

What if I’m planning to move there from another country?

What if the move is not certain but I’m just considering the possibility?

Also, what if I simply think something is a good thing and I want to help promote it?
Formally it's intended as a hardware patent due to involvement of computer. But since it doesn't invent hardware, it's merely invalid patent. AFAIK USPTO bears no responsibility for granting invalid patents.
> ChatGPT: The human brain is also highly attuned to facial expressions and features, making the task of generating a convincing face a high priority for AI researchers. As a result, AI has made significant progress in generating realistic faces, but rendering fingers remains a challenging task that requires further research and development.

This is probably the best answer, but there's no pleasing the human overlords:

> So while it could be as simple as a lack of priority from developers, it still strikes me as bizarre that it can’t even count to five. At this point, ChatGPT began to show some of that defensiveness that tends to creep in when any AI is challenged.

I've seen that defensiveness in challenged humans too (and in myself quite often). Congratulations to author, it managed to annoy an AI.
Alive in the marketshare sense but they don't have as much going on as they used to.

People who use Linux use it because of what it is, a fantastic piece of software that puts trillion dollar corpo to shame.

Most Windows users have never tried any alternatives. The 'tech normies' would switch to Mac in a heartbeat if they could afford them, they don't really care about what they use as long as it has shiny buttons.

I’m in Melbourne, most places that do duck pancakes smash it through with the cleaver so it’s presented in slices like people expect with Peking duck. There’s a few though where you get the whole or half duck relatively intact and are expected to shred it yourself like London. I think the clue is usually when you order by quantity of duck (ie, half vs whole) rather than just an entree or number of pancakes. Though Melbourne is spoiled by a reasonable Chinatown and similar suburban setups. Hopefully Perth has enough options that you can build an itinerary of indulgent discovery one weekend.

I've been working in the privacy space for a few years and always had the same opinion. If a customer doesn't trust the data processor, the logical conclusion is to not send any sensitive data at all, which is technically possible. But it means more edge processing, more client side processing, most likely not what Google wants. But they have to do _something_, even if nobody uses it in the end.
> Its not clear to me that people will ever really want to be completely shut off from reality while in virtual space.

A stunning homelab article that is far & away the least understandable showing we've had in decades. Wow, epic.

After the first 2/5ths it events out into a more typical & regular piece. But the first part has some truly weird & alien shit no one else has. This site has some great in depth weird stuff, so it's not shocking how alien it is, but it's still an encounter with some weird Greys you probably couldn't have seen coming.

Not sure if true but I read that we couldn't shoot it down where it was. It was in an odd elevation, too high for some equipment, too low for others.

Supposedly we shot it down after it lost elevation on the coast.
well its definitely big enough to fit that many people, but you would only be able to go out at night when the sun is cooler which would be a bummer
Curious, though I feel like when I develop using an IDE like intellij, there's some sluggishness when the project files are on the wsl file system. Is it because of mixing between the windows one where the IDE is installed, and the wsl one?

Funny enough, WSL is what pushed me towards Linux even more. To the point that I stopped dual booting altogether and switched to Linux permanently because of how horrible WSL is and how much time it wastes.

I honestly believe that people who stick to WSL and are afraid of using a real Linux distro are a little too afraid of trying something different from what they're used to. I used to be in a similar position, so I won't blame them but hey, at least I got to compare the software side by side and eventually decided which one's better by a thousand miles.

I think globalization works better than how we talk about it these days. China is very cautious just because they know we are interdependent. I think this big buffer of time should be enough to resolve the conflicts with greater chance.

This is a bug in the less popular third-party lsp package for emacs, which is already quite unpopular.

yeah it was meant in this direction...

I'm mirroring de Gaulle right now, in saying that the US have been blind-sided by not having had any real war on their homeland for more than a century (he was saying it in 1968), that's why they have all this messianic instincts. No, almost nothing is worth dying for en masse (which what a US vs China war would mean).

That's not the only trust model at play. Here is a different example of where FHE becomes very useful.

Cancer researchers will benefit greatly from patient data sets that might include very privacy centric elements such as genome sets, past medical history (of both them and relatives to help understand heredity aspects of the disease). Most people making an informed decision may be uncomfortable with this information being made widely available, at best perhaps OK with a select few groups, but not available to anyone researching this domain.

FHE would solve this, the data can be made available to anyone with compute power that wants to help, while still respecting the privacy of the patients.
It's inconceivable to people who've psychologically come to terms with prostrating themselves to life under oppressive regimes that someone else might be willing to die to avoid doing so.

odd, i felt the same way at that specific moment! i did end up enjoying the rest of the video though.
Jumping randomly(edit:in a random direction) when it is too hot is a strategy. And apparently good enough for survival of this species. The bacterium e. Coli uses a similar, or identical strategy of turning("tumbling") in a random direction when the environment conditions are not favorable, and then running straight while the conditions are good. You can guide a blindfolded person to a goal of your choosing just by telling them "hot" or "cold".

Maybe the name of the strategy should be "directed random walk".
Scientists detect molten rock layer hidden under Earth's tectonic plates
Scientists have discovered a new layer of partly molten rock under the Earth's crust that might help settle a long-standing debate about how tectonic plates move. The molten layer is located about 100 miles from the surface and is part of the asthenosphere, which is important for plate tectonics because it forms a relatively soft boundary that lets tectonic plates move through the mantle. The researchers found, however that the melt does not appear to notably influence the flow of mantle rocks. Instead, they say, the discovery confirms that the convection of heat and rock in the mantle are the prevailing influence on the motion of the plates.

I have seen enough C-suite loud talkers come into the room and blabber about some bullshit as if they're wise, and the people around them seemingly actually buy into it! They don't see that this person is working off of a template. Futhermore, that gas bag is well aware that if this venture doesn't strike gold, they can go to the next with literally no backlash, and moreover use that fail as an accomplishment via the job title they held.

Luckily, it's funny to me now so it bothers me less when I see it.
This is a good Joel post, but the bar has moved significantly.

"If it’s a core business function — do it yourself, no matter what". The question is, what is "Core Business Function"?

If you were an internal tech company in 2000s, hosting your own servers was a "core business function", as being a tech company meant that tech was core business function. However, as tech got more sophisticated, the domain of "core function" became more focused per company

Another example is the rise of fabless semiconductor companies. Even until recently, Intel had superior chip design and fabrication capabilities (thus intel's tick-tock strategy). AMD founder Jerry Sanders claimed "Real men have fabs" but AMD's spinoff of GlobalFoundaries look like a genius move now.

What you think of "core business function" is going to change over time.
Apparently it’s still a thing:

Please tell me who can stop Putin?

- the chances that the parliament can do it are zero

- the chances that the army can do it are small sicne he put in charge his incompetent but loyal people and has created his own military branch for his personal protection

China has more influence on what Putin ca n\t do then Russians.

> I'm deeply pessimistic about any good that can come from continued trade with China and the west, as long as the communists wield power there.

As the author says, the good that comes from trading with ideologically different countries is a semblance of peace. It's a weak one, but becoming more self-reliant and less global removes the last reason superpowers have to keep diplomatic and peaceful channels open.

I'd rather have US and China begrudgingly trading because they need each other than the opposite.

Your attitude/POV is common, and yet no one has built a comparable competitor to core-js?

I just don't know if there's any point in fighting this fight. We either decide to ride the bandwagon and get our money, or we decide to just wait this out and wait for the bros to realize it's just ML dressed up all over again. It's just embarrassing to watch the hype cycle play out with the same suckers over and over.

Let me explain this hype to folks:

1. People suck at googling

2. People suck at information literacy - aka, the abstract ability to consume many sources and discern a sort of perceived truth from the supported commonality between them (read through threads here for an example) (and yes, this is inherently nuanced, so much so that again I'm not sure how to properly describe it).

3. People love being told what to do/think. (look at every influencer/podcasts, even including the ilk that is/was popular among the HN crowds)

4. "Take down Google", for many folks, is implicitly translated into "Microsoft can noticeably cut into Google's ad market revenue by making a better AI-powered search".

There are so, so, so many inferences, assumptions, pitfalls in #4 that I simply don't know how to explain it other than to just laugh and shrug and keep my head down on real work.

EDIT:

More and more it's becoming quite clear. Some folks are principled and care about information and education and society and understand the risks of misinformation at scale. And some folks see a way to get rich, or get some personal utility and can't or don't give a rats ass about the rest. Literally I just saw a thread where someone is pointing out clear CURRENT harm caused by ChatGPT powered products and the response was "IDC, it helped me, yolo".

I really just... want to jump ahead to a robot shooting me so I don't have to live through our ignorant enabling of silicon-valley-driven-killer-robots because I swear to god that's where the ignorant lot is driving us to.
> to me your personal situation should have ZERO bearing on your job, I should not even know if you have kids or not.
