No. Apple don’t ship anything that is licensed under GPL v3 [0]. In fact, they are still shipping bash 3 (the last version under GPL v2) with Mac OS [1], released 16 years ago.

The decision is also affected by the Tivoization clause introduced to GPL v3.

> If MacOS included GPLv3 software, Apple wouldn't be able to pre-install it unless they provided all users with signing keys to install their own modified versions of the GPLv3 software on-target. Check out the GPLv3's "User Product" and "Installation Information" sections for more details - they're written in plain English, and are pretty clear. [2]

Bad Apple but Played in Conway's Game of Life [video]
My friends and I have a system: each person is allowed 2 googles per gathering. Or something like that; the "rules" are always changing but the point is to acknowledge the tension between not wanting to phub and wanting to be able to bring information into our banter.
I wish my best of luck to you to land on a job sooner.

Good luck.
Needs to accuse you of treason more. And treason is publishable by death.
Right, its the cars that are dangerous when people on bikes (ebikes or not) ride on sidewalks.
Fairness is good, but I think it is sometimes overrated.

It is sometimes apparent in countries where conscription is active. Putting aside the obvious gender discrimination, conscription is possibly the fairest thing we get. But it also mean that we take people off jobs where they are good, productive, and enjoy themselves to make them do things they don't like and perform poorly.

A highly visible and concrete example is for famous k-pop artists. You have young men doing an awesome (and hard!) job entertaining millions of people and bringing a lot of value to South Korea, but in the name of fairness, they have to stop doing that and do something where they are a poor fit for 1-2 years. Personally, I think it is a waste.

The k-pop idol thing is an extreme case, but the idea is that if you are particularly good at something, that you enjoy doing it, and that thing brings value to society, why should you do something else? It is unfair because some people will enjoy themselves more than others, but nature is unfair anyways, some people get some genetic disease and their life is nothing but pain, should we torture healthy people in the name of fairness?

There are ways of making society a bit more fair that doesn't involve making everyone more miserable, that's socialism, and it makes a bit more sense. The idea is that you are going to dig shit and someone else will live in luxury, but the state will take a bit of the "luxury" guy and give it to you, so you can afford the good meal without requiring the "luxury" guy to dig shit if the reason he lives in luxury is because his net contribution to society is particularly valuable. Most countries have some of that, even the US, but since it is real life, the idea may be simple, but the execution and details are far from it.
"Historic" is a extreme for a 40 minute latency. Maybe we could call it non-emergency environmental monitoring.

Also, remote facility tampering monitoring or remote system monitoring. If it's going to take you 2 days to get to a place to address an issue, 40 minutes to get notified seems fine.
We wanted a moon base, but all we got was a lunar time zone.
I'm not sure, but to anybody who is interested in this question but hasn't spent much (or any) time using ChatGPT yet, or who hasn't already spent time thinking deeply about this, here's a video I'd suggest watching. It's Dave "EEVBlog" Jones, using ChatGPT to write the code for an Arduino project he was working on.

His goal was to find out "can ChatGTP generate all of the code I need for this project."

Spoilers: In the end he still had to make some minor modifications to the code by hand, but it came very close to generating the exact code he needed, although he did need a couple of rounds of going "back and forth" with ChatGPT to get it that close. Still, it was a moderately impressive demonstration of what ChatGPT can do today from a coding perspective.
This is great, but please let us use it without vocals! I mostly listen to instrumental, so this was unexpectedly jarring. Even adding "instrument" generates vocals, and the vocals aren't exactly great for the music styles I've tried.
I've been of a mind that the only way to "win" is to buy land instead and build on it. I see too many large, conglomorate home builders — perhaps two of which will divvy up entire subdivisions and rake in the profits for themselves.

I'm no historian but it seems there's been a trend over the past century of entire markets becoming inaccessible to the average person. I'm not going to do the topic justice with my poorly worded rant but I'm thinking about how, for example, the "A&P's" made it impossible for mom and pop to open a grocery store (short of a niche kind of Indian Foods Market or whatever).

Various big players have divided up each of the industries and mercantile opportunities leaving the rest of us with little more than food trucks, small restaurants, nail salons, etc.

It's fascinating to me the rare opportunities of commerce that have briefly graced the middle class before being swallowed up — things like the book store, the record store, the drive-in movie theater, the personal computer, the video rental store....

> we've had to take the decision to put Fosstodon behind #Cloudflare to mitigate the attacks

For a moment, that had a "cui bono"(*) style conspiracy theory running through my head, along the lines of: "2025 breaking news: Scandal: Cloudflare found guilty of using covert DDOS attacks to push internet hosts into buying their protection services"… or even:

new marketing slogan: "That's a nice site/service you got there. Would be a pity if it were to be made unusable by a DDOS attack, eh? But don't worry, uncle Cloudflare is here to protect… for a small fee of course"

(*)"cui bono": to whom is it a benefit, cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cui_bono
I had a globally distributed family and WhatsApp was literally a life changer for me back in 2009/2010.

I'm sure other people in a similar position will also know what I'm talking about.

It was super lightweight, cheap, multiplatform - when I was interning in Singapore in 2012, I was able to stretch a 2MB pay as you go SIM plan over 2 months using WhatsApp over WAP on a Symbian iPhone.

There are few things I will be more loyal to.

Now, with my biases declared, I am genuinely open to understanding why SMTP/IMAP based chat didn't take off. I don't know much about the protocols but as you say, email should have solved this problem. But somehow it lacked that immediacy of instant messaging that made me feel that much more connected to my family halfway across the planet.

Maybe that's what it was - email delivered in 1-5 seconds is completely fine, but instant messaging needs to be delivered in under 500ms ideally.

Is there something about the email protocol that makes it slower due to some tradeoffs?
I’ve been kind of halfassedly watching the properties in the town I bought my house and the last time I checked, probably a couple weeks ago, all the bargains were snapped up after being on the market for a while.

Maybe something changed with the local economy that I don’t know about but it seems that people might be snapping up houses while they can still afford them.

Obviously pure speculation on my part as I only pay attention to one smallish city.

—edit—

Turns out pure baseless speculation and probably a bug in Zillow because the bargain houses are still there.
An object in a room at ambient temperature would slowly warm up to equal the same temperature from the conduction of the warmer air around it. If the temperature of an object can “hold below ambient”, it means it must be able to allow the object to shed heat energy, at least at the same rate or faster than it absorbs the ambient heat. I.E. cooling.
> pkg is an amazing system that beats dpkg or rpm

What's your reasoning for this statement? I find poudriere[1] handy for compiling one's own packages from ports configured to fit one's goals, but I see nothing outstanding in plain pkg.

It has issues when there's an IPv6 address up (even link-local) but no egress v6 routing. It would hang and wait for a timeout when an IPv6 address is selected from resolved addresses. After a timeout - pkg connects to v4 endpoint but if there's several packages to be downloaded, it can fall back to trying to connect to v6 with the next package.

On the other hand, I've recently had Ubuntu 22.04 register Python-related packages which were not successfully installed, resulting in all dpkg/apt/apt-get commands failing due to py3clean script throwing tracebacks, until /var/lib/dpkg/status was edited and these packages were in fact installed and then removed.

Isn't BSD Sed a subset of GNU Sed? I can't think of any outright incompatibilities that would make a BSD Sed script invalid for GNU Sed.
There are a number of different approaches that are currently being worked on. I'm curious to know how they rank in terms of likelihood of getting power onto the grid. First Light Fusion of Britain is pursuing a novel approach, as is TAE. The MIT folks are pursuing a compact tokamak I believe. Any thoughts on what approaches have a fighting chance of eventual success?
I was wrong – we've not reached peak ChatGPT hype yet
You're right. And this is critical for large text (summarization, complex prompting etc.). Thats's why I'll continue to use text-davinci-xxx for my project.
yes, Apple obviously hates GPL and wants it to die. But I'm confused what you're responding to. The claim was that GPL is unusable on OSX and that's obviously not the case. Whether Apple uses GPL is irrelevant to the matter at hand.
I'm building a productivity app based only on camera images.
For me it's always easier to capture what I need than to put it into words

think:

- fixes around the house / todos

- image as a reminder

- wishlist (some photo lists can be public and shareable)

- recommendations (when someone is showing you a book or sth, just capture and save it)

I'm still at an early experimentation stage, but have I'm documenting progress at https://twitter.com/visuelapp

My relationship felt better than ever, because we wouldn’t both lay next to each other on our phones before sleeping

You could always do what I did and simply ban all electronics from the bedroom. In my bedroom there is a battery powered clock and that's it. No TV, phones or anything else.
It has me wishing the TRS-80 Model 100/Dynabook form factor had caught on more.

Honestly, yes, I can understand this. A laptop screen pointed towards you feels like a private space, since other people can't easily see it. And indeed, I've definitely gotten work done in meetings for this reason. A device with a screen easily visible to everyone at the table I don't think would have this temptation.

I sometimes use a Model 100 when I need to take notes without distractions, actually.
> All is looking good now.

> For a couple of hours that I have been monitoring the situation and can't find any problems.

> Hopefully the attack has been resolved but please do let me know if you notice any problems on your end.

> Again, sorry to everyone on servers that were impact.

> I will continue to work to make these kind of attacks less of a problem in the future but it's a hard problem to solve and it will take time.

Yes, I remember using Pidgin, awesome times.
I think a lot of it has to do with density. In the urban areas of the US mail carriers walk, lot sizes are small (8-10m) so getting on an off a bike every 30 seconds doesn't make much sense. In the rural areas it could me a mile or more between houses. They both can use the same truck, in urban areas they just park it in a central location and refill their bag as needed then drive it back to the shop when done.
This. It makes me feel like dog shit at work to have to vet everything through a buckshot path of stakeholders. Often, they aren't even stakeholders. Creative? Have ideas? Good luck.

Ladle on top of this working with tight-ass (would a smile or joke hurt?), pedantic burnt out devs (no wonder women don't want to code) and I'm faced with an emotional struggle almost every day. My favorite words seem to be: "fuck this."

Do you know that all the scientists referee for these journals for free ?
This article made me curious, has any business tried to defend antiunion activities through a desire for free association? As in the business does not want to associate with unions.

It made me curious because I've not seen that argument before, in the function of a union seems like it wants to force the company to associate with it whether the company wants to or not.
Beware the Variable Maximizers
I assume this means the Element One servers have access to the plaintext of my messages?
The best argument I can make is to say, do not come at the issue with black/white thinking. I try to look at it more of 'probability if/of'.

Myself, I think the probability of a human level capable intelligence/intellect/reason AI is year 100% in the next decade or so, maybe 2 decades if things slow down. I'm talking about taking information from a wide range sensors and being able to use it short term thinking, and then being able to reincorporate it into long term memory as humans do.

So that gets us human level AGI, but why is it capped there? Science as far as I know hasn't come up with a theorem that says once you are smart as a human you hit some limit and it doesn't get any better than that. So, now you have to ask, by producing AGI in computer form, have we actually created an ASI? A machine with vast reasoning capability, but also submicrosecond access to a vast array of different data sources. For example every police camera. How many companies will allow said AI into their transaction systems for optimization? Will government controlled AI's have laws that your data must be accessed and monitored by the AI? Already you can see how this can spiral into dystopia...

But that is not the limit. If AI can learn and reason like a human, and humans can build and test smarter and smarter machines, why can't the AI? Don't think of AI as the software running on a chip somewhere, also think of it as every peripheral controlled by said AI. If we can have an AI create another AI (hardware+software) the idea of AI alignment is gone (and it's already pretty busted as it is).

Anyway, I've already written half a book here and have not even touched on any number of the arguments out there. Maybe reading something by Ray Kurzweil (pie in the sky, but interestingly we're following that trend) or Nick Bostrom would be a good place to start just to make sure you've not missed any of the existing arguments that are out there.

Also, if you are a video watcher check Robert Miles youtube channel
Well yeah Cezzane (5000 series) is a great CPU, but the Intel CPU has, for instance, a newer IGP, and a newer and more capable video decode block. And you can squeeze some more efficiency out of the Intel chip by shuffling threads around yourself.
These finds that teach us about everyday life are interesting to me because they remind us that people are people. I remember looking at an exhibit of Babylonian seal cylinders, which were a kind of tool that a Babylonian would use to sign a document written on a wet clay tablet. It suddenly occurred to me that what I was looking at was not a work of art intended to be displayed and enjoyed just for its aesthetic value: it was the everyday tool of an ordinary clerk who lived and died thousands of years ago. I pictured this ancient Babylonian at the office, rolling the cylinder over wet tablets, looking forward to quitting time when he could go home, maybe stop for a beer on the way, play with the kids, kiss his wife. All of which would also be normal behavior for a white-collar worker alive today.

> It sucks when your investment doesn’t pay off, but there’s not some grand conspiracy to deny your preference.

You... really didn't read the article, did you?

In the opening they state: "My skills as a Ruby on Rails developer today are by far more valuable than any skills I would have gained pivoting to full-time AngularJS development in ~2014".

Doesn't sound like someone who's worried that their "investment [didn't] pay off".

Hell, they even close it with: "In the year 2033, I am 100% convinced my skills as a Ruby web developer will be by far more valuable than any skills gained learning React…"

Seriously, I get it. You don't agree with the author. Cool.

But why make up some fictional motivation like this?
What’s the problem with cooler inside and warmer outside? How much warmer outside do you suppose this white paint makes the outside?
> Second, buydowns fly in the face of what the Fed has been trying to do: tamping down on property purchases to bring demand and supply into better balance.

This is an editorial, so the rigor is unclear. Is it actually the Fed's intention to reduce the demand for housing by raising interest rates? If so, it is short sighted to reduce short term demand for housing in a way that reduces the long term supply of housing.
Angular is actually thriving in enterprise. There are many Angular projects in software houses which do backend in Java and Dot Net. There is a lot of demand for Angular developers in India at least.

The US scene seems to favour React though. Even though React is there from 2014, the way we code React now is much different that how it was done 5 years ago. Also in React fads keep coming and going in the library ecosystem. In contrast Angular hasn't changed much from the developer's perspective.
Watch does too.
Not sure whether sync will be 'very problematic'.

We already have that sort of sync happening today: when your computer is off, it runs a quartz watch. When you turn it on, it syncs via ntp.

Some special boffins on Mars would run atomic clocks, and worry about synchronisation with earth.

For the rest of the people running quartz clocks, they wouldn't even notice.
Inside of the SBOMs, we can detect a lot: https://github.com/anchore/syft#supported-ecosystems

You're right that the active/dormant detection needs to be customized per type of runtime. It ends up being a mix of both access and execution, and we'll get more sophisticated with eBPF over time. We cover rpm/deb, python and java with the node and others coming very soon. The compiled languages will be our main focus next. For example, Go binaries embed some dependency metadata in the binary itself.

Also related to this effort is the "in-toto" integrity chain: https://in-toto.io/in-toto/ Since we're already connecting build to run, we aim to complete the chain.
Securing Memory Will Take More Than Cryptography Alone
There's been huge amounts of inflationary money printing. The macro market indicators are all showing that the amount of leverage, borrowing, debt, all factors point to an imminent crash. What's keeping major players from collapsing is more borrowing, creative accounting, innovative means of hiding debt, and an artificial stay on margin requirements and bills due.

In, "home economic" terms, the mortgage is long overdue, behind on car payments, cell phone bills, and we're eating on credit cards. We're using our student loans to make minimum payments to keep the bill collectors happy for now, we're working on a debt consolidation loan with the bank at a reasonable rate, but it might not come soon enough. We're clearly on a knife's edge, and we don't know if things will work out. What's very clear is that this is not sustainable.
It’s exciting because these are totally reproducible conditions. I usually cryogenically chill my devices when I’m making Earl Grey, hot! ;)

It is the replicator, but mostly mathematically. This is a rumble in future-tech suggested by Fourier (c. forever years ago).

If you can decompose a 2D image into frequencies, then get back a jpeg image… why can’t you 3D organize matter that way? I wonder, isn’t .jp3g better than .stl?

That’s the part that might be too expensive to realize, as E=mc^2 is pretty pricey as a starting point.
Where do I sign my soul away to get this amazing software
I agree 100%. It's not about the phones, it's that technology makes everything seem effortless and many people want now instant gratification, if not, they are unhappy.

So the answer to this situation is to start being able to control yourself, let the game console, the phone the smart TV and everything else, go outside, take a walk, see what's new in town, meet with friends, go for a dinner at an restaurant, read a book, spend some time in nature.

Do some of the boring things people did before smartphones, the Internet and gaming consoles. From time to time.
> Because caring and beauty are feminine.

Is this something you (or people you're familiar with) believe? Never encountered this norm before.
You can't get really "pencil out" quality of life. The car enables opportunities and tradeoffs. Keeping your own stuff in your own car in your own garage/parking spot different from hiring cabs and car shares.
Another way of seeing it is that Europe maintains a standard of living high enough, that US companies are interested in the European user base. Then the EU is legitimate in demanding whatever for access to that market. I find nothing wrong with that.
While I don't agree 100% with everything in the article either, you are kind of twisting their words here. They didn't say producing net energy weren't a big thing. They only stated that reliable, grid-ready electricity was even more difficult than net energy production in the first place.
You don't care about any features, apart from the features you care about. Just like everyone else.
Moving sensors of low bandwidth?

BTW, is it possible to use the Apple Mesh network as an Apple Tag does? Or from the API perspective is a kernel side interface?
