If google can’t get things out of the lab into products that accrue value to their business they’ll head the way of Xerox PARC. A legacy of research innovations that others successfully capitalized on.
For many that may be a laudable end goal. For shareholders though it’s probably a tough pill to swallow.
>Ozone is produced at 185nm

Where did you find that 185nm number? Everything I see on google says ~250nm, not to mention the original post is about 222nm UV.
I will say it's nice to see the feature blocking external plugin injection. Kind of surprised this wasn't introduced sooner though.

I haven't really used FF for anything but testing/bugfixes on web apps in several years. I do have a couple coworkers and friends that still swear by it.
Care to share why you think that way?
FOSS in no way means "free of cost". We use a piece of FOSS software where I work, and it costs 4 figures per seat.
This reminds me of the noise protocol which lets you communicate securely with a single round trip.

Another data point, here in Australia we do a census every 5 years. Never really heard any objection other than it is annoying.
For us it is really not problem.

We mention in our job descriptions clearly .NET 4.8 and still get 100s of applications.
In the meantime we are working on upgrade to the new .NET but it will take at least couple years.
It’s really good for rote stuff. In particular writing if err != nil { return fmt.Errorf(“helpful context: %w”, err) } in Go, or getting the structure for some YAML down so you can go off and edit it.

It’s also super helpful for languages whose ethe value building utility functions over importing them, like parsing environment variables into types in Python. So many people have written their own functions to do this that the training set is pretty good.
A good example of this is Nuclear and the East-Palestine / Ohio derailments from a few days ago. Nuclear is prohibitively expensive due to regulations, while more dangerous situations such as trains carrying hazardous chemicals had regulations cut [1] not too long ago.

Thank god for the free market and competition, choice is in the interest of consumers.
The grouse moor is basically a grouse farm. The moor is periodically burned to promote the right kinds of growth, 100s of grouse are released and nature like birds of prey somehow end up with a shorter lifespan.
Not to mention a rebellious anti-AI counter culture that will intentionally feed it nonsense.

> I'm not spending my time to convince of something so obvious.

Here is the tell that shows you have absolutely no actual data or information to support your claim.

You aren't my professor, but you are making absurd, huge claims. You should expect to be challenged and show your sources. Just because you made something up in your head and feel its obvious, that doesn't make it true.
Julia isn't primarily implemented in C++. Most of the implementation is in Julia (68%). About 25% is C/C++, but that could be changed if someone wrote a good enough compiler in a fast enough memory safe language. The rest is in a custom scheme dialect (femptolisp) and is in the process of being replaced by Julia (see JuliaSyntax.jl).
Maybe bragging rights. My dog photo collection can survive societal collapse.
These features always matter, but they matter the most when you have competition. When the other guys’ retention problems become your selling point, you are making money off of them.
I can't seem to make copilot do very much. I can get davinci-3 to write all sorts of interesting functionality with a prompt, but copilot only wants to spit out a word or a line at a time rather than blocks of code. I signed up for code pilot thinking that's what I was going to get, and it has been really disappointing.
Why aren't governments stepping in? A false-information tool used by the masses is potentially dangerous.
> which Google claims will limit user data being shared with third parties and remove cross-app identifiers, while still supporting personalized ads.

That's is the core problem with google, they are in ads business so they will never remove the core problem. personalized ads require some form of targeting and this will be a privacy problem no matter what they try to do.
> Thing is this is also still the really basic stuff. It's only going to get worse as they attempt to shift more complicated things.

Indeed.

And stats like that does make you kind of worry about pharmaceuticals where India is something like number two worldwide as supplier of APIs to the global Pharma industry.

API = Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient, or typically described as "active ingredient" on the labelling of the pills you take.

Disclaimer: I'm not making claims or insinuations here, I've insufficient knowledge of Pharma to do so. I said "makes you think" for a reason, i.e. pure speculation, probably wrong.
Not just black but also blue (if outside). De blue sky tints the shadows blue.
The current headline suggests that TikTok is the reason for the update. At first I thought this was due to a software change in some tiktok app or something. But the reason for the change is the flaw, and tiktok users are merely calling attention to the existing flaw.
How is it possible that in 2023 they can't support Firefox and Safari?

Update: It works totally fine on Firefox if you use an extension to lie about your user agent. What a joke.
yes, i know that but unless in the unlikely event that this guy's FOSS software meets their requirements, they will not do that.
I'm guessing the first one lost his job, because I'm a pessimist.
I can, it sounds like a world where people are more fairly compensated for their work.

I’m increasingly cynical about open source as time goes on. There really need to be better licenses that deal with the funding issue, because huge companies shouldn’t have any right to freeload.

There is a reason that even during the height of the pandemic, that outdoor events were not a large source of transmission.

People going into bars or houses after marching/protesting/partying were a problem, but standing around in the sunshine, even in a reasonably dense crowd, wasn't ever really a problem. (AFAIK, I remember news articles going "well that didn't turn out as bad as we all thought it would")
The irony is dev #2 projects a textbook definition of 'passion' with their public displays of knowledge, name-dropping, and fancy job at an elite institution. But when circumstances change, the house of cards falls over. They'd staked their identity on something brittle: the appearance of an elite tech worker with the proper taste who is a member of the Inner Ring (per CS Lewis).
Would that enable continuations or lightweight checkpoint restore? If computation takes hours or weeks you might want to do add some restart-ability...
I think it really depends on the type of project. An open source project is going to have different goals for commit messages than an internal corp project or a private personal project. I'm a big fan of conventional commits, but only in the context of a project that needs to generate a changelog so that users can quickly decide if they'd like to update. In that context, the why is totally inappropriate and should be part of a linked issue, not the commit message. But in a corp environment, it's really much more about preserving context so that future developers can figure out why something happened, so the why is super important. Corporate teams will have turnover and, when someone leaves, they're not going to be available to answer questions. And a private personal project is often just about using git as a checkpoint saving tool so that I can preserve known-working states. In that context, I'm really only interested in describing the state I'm preserving rather than describing what changed or why. If I ever decide to release it publicly, I'll rebase to hide the mess of my initial explorations anyways.

Not being able to adapt your commit message style to the purpose it's serving is overly dogmatic. I wouldn't use the same language or tools for every project, so why would I use the same commit message style?
> I imagine there could be methods of confusing cameras,

Huh? Cameras turn lights into rgb, you can't confuse them, if not paint your balloons blue.
Spotify is in a tight spot (ba-dum-tsh). Valued at a lofty 7.7x gross profit because they pay out most revenue to record labels. First they try to improve profitability by buying Rogan and other podcasters, but that didn't drive enough listening. So now they tell investors they'll be the YouTube of audio. Which means the product changes away from music will keep coming. Can they keep users happy while pushing them to listen to user uploaded audio?

Surprising to me that investors are buying it.
> I've never used Copilot, but ChatGPT doesn't have a way to integrate directly in your editors?

And I suspect it would be too slow for use in an editor the way ChatGPT seems to be throttled.
I think people do care about these things, but they don't always know what it is, precisely, they're caring about. They just know that the thing they have is disappointing.
No that isn't what I said at all. I never said that Xinjiang is a "benign" situation, I said that Xinjiang's reality is very different from media reporting. Big difference. It's entirely possible for reality to be not benign, but also very far removed from the hellhole that's painted by media. Reality can be complex.

And no, I'm not claiming that Uyghur women who got sterilized are terrorists. I'm claiming that the entire story of there being widespread, systematic, forced sterilization for the purpose of genociding a people, is a false. The source for the forced sterilization claim is Adrien Zenz, who in his "research paper" said that IUD usage in Xinjing accounted for 80% of the country. But when you go to his cited source for that 80% figure, you see that the source actually said 8%. Then when some people made a fuss about that, he... wait for it... changed the 80% into 8% but did not change the paper's conclusion, and tried covering up the fact that he changed the paper at all! Meanwhile, no media is interested in reporting this.

"Modi apologists" have got absolutely nothing with me, but by citing them you're making the claim that everybody who claims that the media is biased is nuts. Then pray tell, what do you call media who looks the other way while a "researcher" fudges his numbers like that? What part of me pointing out shoddy research is "nationalism"?

I dare you to read Adrien Zenz's paper and tell me that it's reliable.
It's a security vulnerability tbh
So, I finished up with college in 2008 right before the worst part of the financial crisis hit. I also went to a no-name school in the middle of flyover country, and I didn't graduate. At no point in my career did I ever feel like I was having difficulty with finding a job.

I would argue that the biggest challenge graduates in 2023 face is a battle inside themselves between their expectations, their delusions of grandeur, and the reality of the world. I didn't work properly for a "tech company" for more than 2 years after I finished school, and I started in a lower level role than I was qualified for, but the entire time I was learning things, working with people I respected and admired, and was paid decently for my time and efforts. The domain knowledge I gained from outside of "tech" at various points in my career has been incredibly valuable during all the times I worked in tech, because most of the "tech" companies make their money selling products to non-tech companies. Knowing your customer and their domain is actually crucial.

If you're willing to work as a software developer at a health insurance company maintaining eligibility processing and claims processing systems, or at a manufacturing company writing automation tooling to help process engineers convert prototypes into mass producible widgets, or working on plugins for the unwieldy "enterprise" software used in the back office at a global trucking and logistics company, you'll never want for work, and you'll learn a lot and earn a decent wage compared to the market you find yourself in. No, it's not $300k TC right out of school with free lunches and trendy swag packages, but it's also not purgatory and destitution.

Realistically, I think social media has created a completely unhinged set of expectations amongst people, in general, and especially young people. Everyone has to pay their dues, and what you learn along the way and the relationships you build will set up the rest of your career.
Do you have the name of the forum maybe?
I think the true struggle of ADHD is that you’re in fact constantly context switching. There’s the great theory that being adhd is an evolutionary advantage because it made hunting easier.

Persnickety but also curious comment: wasn't the System/360 the first mainframe?
Sorry, I misread, my bad.
Actually it works not as the first draft, or the final draft - it is the middle draft. In stage one you just drop a bunch of bullet points, ideas, short notes. In stage 2 the model writes your article or paper. In stage 3 you fix it.

Almost 100% next iteration will sport a fact checker, powerful style and format controls, and a much larger context. The development of advanced fact checkers will have a big impact on anything propagated online.
I have also only seen a couple JRE episodes since the Spotify takeover, but the UI is not my problem. My problem is Spotify trying to seize control of an open ecosystem.
Since the author posted this, what's your goal with writing something like this?
Food, power, shelter and air are essentially the big issues for space colonization. With the lab protein I was speaking of the possibility of shipping a close to self sustaining bio reactor in a box to a colony to solve for the food issue. I mentioned this as it's an evolving technology that may be closer to prime time at the same time as the solar panels concept the article mentioned.
Yes, it seems that they re-implemented essentially all coreutils, and nearly all command line options on all of them. That's the reason why there are so many failures in the test suite, because some obscure option here and there is still not yet implemented. The main functionality of all the tools is already there. This is a huge project, and really impressive.

(as a side note, I did not want to turn this thread into a licensing flamewar, even if I dislike the license change. It is more interesting to talk about the tools themselves! How does the performance compare to the GNU implementation? Are they faster? Do they use less memory? Are the executables smaller (e.g., when compiled statically)? Do they compile faster?)
Simple and clean, well done. The tilt options are a nice touch.

A few suggestions:

- Add example(s) on the home page. This is the first thing I look for, it took me a few seconds before I noticed "Try a demo image".

- In the case of a mobile screenshot, if the image is horizontal then the camera location on the "fake" phone should be moved to the side. Currently the camera remains on top, making the phone look more like a laptop screen.

- Add a button to reset the value for each individual property (size, space, tilt...etc).

- For some reason when switching from "Browser" to "Mobile" mockups the canvas shrinks to a small size. I'm using Chrome.
I agree that it's possible to write dense code that's hard to read with Clojure, but that is true in any language. I've seen plenty of Java codebases that I couldn't make heads or tails of. As you point out, well written Clojure often reads like plain English. So, in my view it's just a matter of making the effort to write readable code on the part of the developer.
Doesn't work on Firefox.
I doubt this is really practical but I wonder what would happen if it just became a commercial project in a few weeks. He has given fair warning many times in the past and again today.

So out of all of those large companies, if he sets the license at say $5000-10000 per year, would they all really just pin the old version or something and leave him hanging?

Honestly this is the type of thing that makes me want to roote for the AIs in the future. They can't possibly be worse than humans.

So you look like you watch a tennis game when you read text? Funny.

On a more serious note: A maximum length for text makes sense ergonomically, which is why especially big prints like newspapers or magazines work with columns. Columns however haven't really cought on in the web, because they do not combine very well with the whole scrolling thing.
I don't think the capitalist class controls the price of childcare services?
There's a number of specific scenarios this could be useful, like, some SANs can only replicate to L2 adjacent units. Say you wanted a replica off-site, and your gear is older/proprietary, you used to have to buy enterprise network gear to encap L2 and ship VLANs to remote sites. I wouldn't be dismissive of using VXLAN over wireguard to accomplish that.

Presumably because they're all open source now?

C# is still in the top 5 according to TIOBE [4] (whether we pay any attention to that is shrug), but they reckon it's grown in usage in the past year.

Firefox and Safari would probably work for the majority of features but Chrome probably exposes some browser APIs that the rest don't that might make a couple things not work.

For people who know enough to spoof a Chrome user agent, they know enough not to mind if some things break but regular consumers wouldn't know about browser compatibility topics and would blame any irregularities not on their browser but on Snapchat, which is why they choose to display this error rather than let people through.
I am curious if the ambience air can be too "sterile", that we will come to find out there are some good microbes in the air that is beneficial to our health.
It's not that things break when upgrading, it's that we need to call a halt to new feature development and go upgrade all lambda runtimes before the deadline because AWS won't support deploying lambdas running deprecated .NET Core versions. In the last couple years we've had to stop everything to make sure all of our 2.x code was up to 3.1 (6 wasn't out quite yet) and a year alter we moved everything up to net6 to stay within the AWS deployment support.
What does computer architecture have to do with this? What is your explanation for why this happens?
If you're Boeing considering building it into planes it seems like you're in a great position for choosing UV-compatible materials.

(Compared to the more normal situation of someone retrofitting an office, bar, or other normal space with 222-nm lighting.)
Also, many companies and people seem to have forgotten (or never learned) that small teams outperform large ones. There is a point past which every additional person will make the project take longer, and result in lower quality.
Question, yes, but then the question needs an answer. "Just asking questions" with no follow-up is just signal-jamming.

Follow-up on the question in Flint found both elevated lead levels in kids and a mechanism by which the changed purification process released previously-fixated lead in pipes.

In contrast, this is a big scary smoke cloud of a well-understood volatile compound that we've spilled into the ecosystem in the past and already tracked the effects of. We know what vinyl chloride, phosgene, and hydrochloric acid do.
using and/or finally are things you have to get right every time you instantiate the class, and if you get it wrong you no longer get deterministic destruction. Compare with C++, where RAII is the default policy and you have to take extra steps to get dynamic lifetimes.
Very lovely window into what it's like to work at a place for 9 years, and then leave.
If you are using paints, not black. You need to desaturate. Get a colour wheel and add the colour opposite. So yellow, add purple. It works.
The best part is this 'fix' is just adding an ignition kill-switch routine that requires you unlock with the keyfob to be able to start the car, then re-lock afterwards to disable the ignition.

Wonder what happens when your keyfob fails at that point - you can get in with the mechanical key, but now can't enable the ignition because you can't unlock it with the fob to signal the software.

(And if they make it so you can unlock and drive with an actual mechanical key in the door disabling the system, then it only takes 30-60 more seconds for someone with a Lishi pick to pop the door open and trigger the unlock themselves.)
Industrial chemistry is not easy but it's still substantially easier than electronics manufacturing and much less reliant on well trained workforce and logistics so it's likely fine but tbh I don't have the background to know either.
Does it need to have a goal? I found it to be a touching read and an often not-seen personal perspective on the ongoing layoffs.
‘The Godfather, Saudi-style’: inside the palace coup that brought MBS to power
In the story I believe they had built rails for it too to run on or at least hardened and sintered regolith courses to drive through. It's a surprisingly reasonable pace for even a huge structure to have access to prime solar energy continuously. The series it called Luna if you're interested, the social structure is a bit out there but I enjoyed them.
You mean the one that famously has terrible quality control?
Doesn't matter if you like or dislike the T-word or EM-himself. Fact is they have built one hell of an experienced/industrialized muscle in this field. That experience is priceless right now - Ford, VW, GM etc. don't just need to run-as-fast, they need to run faster. All the while not repeating the mistakes that others were allowed to make when there were less optics on the problem. This technology change is going to be a capital-intensive, painful experience for the incumbents.
I don't disagree that they are all members of the proletariat, but you know what I mean by labor in this context.
