To be fair, its best not even to discuss. It's not like discussing Jewish stuff is normal... well, outside being Jewish or being a neonazi/white supremacist, or awkward discussions here.

But discussing here, I try to keep as neutral as possible. If we're talking about the religion, I use people of Jewish faith. And if talking about Ashkenazi Jews (hereditary), I use that term. And past that, I try to keep as matter-of-factly plain simple language, and check for any colloquiums that have alternate white nationalist meanings.

But usually, this topic doesn't even come up. It's only awkward HN comment chains that have this weird political forced neutral writing. But that too is self-defense.

I've been using XFCE for about 15 years. It feels like nothing has changed during that time and I think that is one of its best features.
I think the point is that it's not a reconstruction. It's more like recognizing which letter of a thousand-letter alphabet is shown to the human after decoding their brain waves. Still impressive, but not really as impressive as visual reconstruction.
They're under contract, but just as the "make them and we'll keep others from competing with you here", not "you can't sell these elsewhere".

The only reason you "can't buy them" is because you wouldn't (or at least people wouldn't). You can't easily tell how good the LED setup is in the bulbs, and price isn't necessarily a good indicator, so you're unlikely to pick the more expensive item.
I haven't tried ChatGPT myself, but I have seen certain prompts and outputs and at time it seems formulaic in off putting ways. I suppose this is really noticeable if you know the content for essay. And get to read enough of them to identify probably some common features or structures.

I should mention that this vulnerability is even worse for 32-bit programs. Since the entire address space for those is confined to 2-3GB, a malicious MOC3 file can access all of the program's data.
Lagrange L1 is basically the only place you can place something between Earth and the Sun without heavy maintenance costs to maintain the position.

L1 is at 1% of the distance from earth to the sun. This means that if you are going to put something reflective there, there is basically no benefit size-wise compared to doing it directly on earth. (Diagrams usually make it look like it's 1/3 of the way, which would have a 77% increase to the covered area).

Feels like it would be easier to put something reflective like that somewhere on earth instead, allowing for a much bigger coverage per $.
Nor does it change the fact that the USA has been violating that vision since day 1, and despite some moments of light, hasn't stopped.

Read the code of generation 0 to get an idea for what's going on / how this works:

https://github.com/fullthom/chat-gpt-quine/blob/main/0.py

The basic idea seems to be that it's a program that has a prompt. The prompt contains instructions for how to make children. The program sends the prompt into GPT to generate child programs that are mutations of the parent. This repo contains a genealogy of these programs.

For an example mutation, version 0 generates 3 children, but a later descendant has increased that constant to 5.
You can also do this with AlaSQL.js which apart from being able to run SQL against JSON and also works with CSV and XSLS, just include it using a script tag or import it as a node module.
> and an author who has somehow never had to build a package for anything but Arch (deb would be much worse) complaining about the difficulty of building RPMs to install/overlay on the host system, which is not the intended use case anyway, is silly.

I can assure you I've built packages for more than just Arch Linux, and that building RPMs was by far the most frustrating experience of all :)

GitHub Security Lab audited DataHub: Here’s what they found
As someone who has built GUI wrappers for perfectly working tools, it’s because support is a nightmare.

There’s a subset of your users who aren’t going to invest in learning your existing tools but you still want them to use your product.

You can’t write more documentation because the more documentation there is, the less people will read it. You can’t tell them to ask for support because they’ll just flood you and eventually give up.

So you build a GUI for these users and they’re happy and you’re happy. Your expert users won’t understand, will complain that you’re wasting your time, but that’s a price worth paying.
You're being dismissive of issues that were far bigger than you make them look.

>like the package manager

It wasn't about, for example, dpkg vs rpm, but apt-get versus.. nothing, because Red Hat had nothing to solve dependencies. Installing software on Red Hat was a truly hellish experience.

>default filesysem

I have never in my life seen people dismiss a distro because of a default filesystem. I question whether you've truly experienced the early days of Red Hat.

They shipped broken development snapshots of GCC that led to serious compatibility issues :

https://linux.slashdot.org/story/00/10/07/0027218/gccs-respo...

They employed one of the most abrasive and divisive personality to helm the development of the libc :

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2380062

They were one of the most barebones distro in terms of tooling to configure and manage them. Debian was more fully featured on the terminal tooling front, while Mandrake and SUSE had a lot of GUI wizards for people more used to the Windows ways.

Even much later in the Fedora days, when Kernel developer Alanx Cox questions the sanity of releasing a completely broken distro (version 18 of Fedora) this is what they had to answer :

>So yeah: in case you didn't get the memo, F18 has a new installer and a new upgrade tool. They are both v1.0s. As in the case of all v1.0s, you may want to exercise some frickin' caution. If you want a Fedora release whose installer and upgrade tools were stabilized over a period of several years and 20+ releases, Fedora 17 is right in the torrent list

Uh, like.. okay? but maybe don't release it, until, you know, it's not garbage?

And then there's the whole thing with what Red Had did to take over the whole userland desktop stack with systemd, logind, dbus, pulseaudio, wayland.. all of which caused more issues than they ever solved. You still can't make software like autohotkey on wayland. All those pieces of software are heavily interconnected with each other making it less and less tenable to maintain a distro that doesn't package them.

There are many, many reasons to be soured with what Red Hat contributed to linux.
Wrong. Two reasons actually:

1. RHEL was the first distro directed at enterprise deployment (meaning, strong preference of rock solid stability and predictability over constant churn). Which made it the only distro Dells and HPs of the world recognized and agreed to support.

2. RHEL was created on legacy of RedHat Linux, which was the best distro for non-hobbyist environments (from reproducible deployments to the breadth of packages available) - since 3.0.3 onwards. RedHat JUST. WORKED.
I bought a microscope from a second hand shop. I guess it was obsolete medical equipment (it didn't have a built in light, you had to fiddle with a mirror, so make that very obsolete). I never got the hang of the higher magnifications, but even the x50 lens showed vast amounts of hidden detail.

Everything was singular in its overwhelming confusion of intricate detail.

Perhaps a microscope could give you a few more blips of success?
I think the idea is that a person can read a project in python and re-implement it more efficiently in C++. The LLM could do the same thing. However, I don't think LLMs are quite that powerful.
There was a video many years ago (early 2010s?) demoing a similar technology, which would overlay and blend many images on top of each other to make a fuzzy image approximating what was actually being viewed.

I'm disappointed LWN would blindly rehash the "MS loves Linux" propaganda like this. Microsoft still doesn't love Linux. Their whole business model is still based on proprietary software.

Yet another article that conflates coffee and caffeine
I don't think so? For example signal's decision to leave the UK if they mandate a back door was very well received here.
I wish the author's complaints about RPMs would be taken seriously. I'm a pretty experienced dev and sysadmin, a packaging a simple CLI app written in C with an easy compile process (and no dependencies other than glibc) was a giant pain in the ass, and in the end I doubt I did it the "right" way despite hours and hours of effort to do so, as I made use of docker to get builds for various active Fedora versions and RHEL versions without having to provision a complete system with each.

I don't know if it's documentation or the RPM tools/macros that suck, or some combination of both, but it's a real setback for someone trying to contribute packages. Getting a contribution into the Fedora repos was also a giant pain in the ass, as there is process there but the documentation is entirely unclear what that process is unless you already know what the process is.

My opinion of the RPM macro system is that I can see why it was done that way, and it was an admirable approach to make packages easy to read, but there's way too much magic. I'd rather parse a couple lines of shell script that made it clear what was happening, than have to look through a handful of macros that aren't documented well (or good documentation is impossible to find). Arch's PKGBUILD format is amazing, and I'd love to see it used as inspiration for an RPM replacement (or at least alternative approach). I try to be very wary of the "the last developer sucked" fallacy when coming into a new and unfamiliar project, but there are enough similar experiences to mine that I think this criticism is valid.

That said, much appreciation and love for the dedicated people who maintain and build RPMs for us. It's often thankless work, but without it we would have nothing.

The OP isn't coasting, it's about not maximizing productivity for the sake of it. It's about striking the right balance, avoiding burnout, working smarter not harder. Too often productivity becomes a cargo cult of austere asceticism rather than something that actually enriches one's life. Some days it's okay to work-to-rule.

Perpetual happiness is already a solved problem in humans. It's called the mu-opioid receptor. That's what opioid junkies sprawled on the sidewalk half-naked in San Francisco have discovered. Fentanyl is very cheap and you could put someone in factory farm like confines and feed them bare sustenance and fentanyl for the rest of their lives and they'd probably be "happy" if kept perpetually high.

However, those opioid receptors should not be pushed synthetically because they have been positioned by evolution in all sorts of strategic spots to encourage pro-social behavior, mating, eating, etc. that are part of our millions year old evolutionary program that must have intrinsic value in itself. If it has no intrinsic value and any happiness is as good as any other happiness, then someone spending the rest of their lives in an opioid haze and someone interacting with the world in a way that evolution tells them to in order to be happy would be considered equivalent, and that would be the end of the human race essentially.

If you get a lot of value out of the pull request view, you might enjoy adding partial committing to your workflow. Rather than committing entire directories or folders at a time, you can page chunk by chunk through uncommitted changes, committing only the ones you select. You'll easily spot those stray logging statements you don't want to commit. (You can also discard chunk at a time by using partial checkout/restore.) If you have, for example, two pairs of backend/frontend changes that you want to commit logically rather than simply according to their directory structure, partial committing is handy.

It's just `git commit -p` (and `git checkout -p`). It's not exactly a deep cut, but I encourage people who are familiar but don't use it to give it a try.
It takes work to structure a rewarding life around raising children, but it can certainly be done and often is.

Hey guys. I'm a full-stack SE, who is trying to switch from .NET world, but basically will consider any possibility, even front-end positions based on React.

Here is a brief note about me:

Expert in building complex cloud native web apps and microservices using modern technologies. I shipped multiple products to date, most of which I took from the idea to operating in production. Proven track record of landing impact, iterating quickly, and working in a feedback-driven environment. Over 6 years of experience in total.

I'm a doer who makes things happen.
Please reach out through email/linkedin if you will find me a great fit for your team.
I agree with you completely.

But you may be overlooking that they're also liquid, popular, benefit from network effects, the supply is algorithmically defined in many cases, and mostly fungible.

This should make for more interested communities.
Except, you can combine VPNs with other tech. There is nothing exclusionary about it. It's defense-in-depth which, tada, NIST recommends.
> I think Lua was always seen as a bit obscure, and not enough people invested in the language to write useful utilities. It has a solid C foreign function interface, and the compiler is quite fast, which leaves me puzzled about why it never gained traction. I think it's an embedded scripting language in the majority of use cases (e.g. NeoVim, LuaLaTeX, scripting in some game engines).

- Lua's standard library is so weak that it makes most other batteries-not-included languages look like they have large, robust, and helpful standard libraries.

- It's got a bit of the quirkiness and gotcha-ability of JavaScript but without its being a language that's impossible to avoid due to capture of a mega-popular platform, which is what propelled JavaScript to ubiquity despite its being kinda shit and unpleasant to work with.

- Tooling's not as good as many other languages.

(FWIW sometimes I write Lua regardless, because it's the right tool for the job)

I would argue that the verb forms of calm and sooth connote stimulation, whereas the adjective form of calm might be a lack of stimuli. I'm not sure there is a present tense adjective form of sooth? But certainly one might say, "this music is very calming" so in that case the stimulus is causing the non-stimulated (by my definition) state... Offsetting the anxiety causing stimuli? I am neither a linguist nor a medical professional, but you got me thinking! Thanks.

Reddit is a cesspool.

If I had time and money to waste, I'd do reddit a spiteful favor and write a WokeBot that calls out every instance of non-equity language. Maybe it even auto-submits hate speech reports for significant transgressions.
I would use more non-GitHub solutions if they had GitHub Desktop or equivalent. The number of accidental commits I've seen by long term industry experts demonstrates that command line isn't always the best for all things. I generally avoid opening PRs on machines I don't have Desktop, which is why it's such an embarrassment GitHub has refused to publish an official Linux version, despite an employee maintaining one for years.
Yeah I just think it's going to change creative creation.
>...this is not "AI", it is a LANGUAGE MODEL.

It sounds like we have a semantic disagreement here. As I understand it, a language model is a mathematical construct, while a particular implementation of a language model as a software system is an AI. At the least it's as much an AI as a Chess Engine, right?

> It's like if you sold me a screwdriver as a hammer and then went "wow, nobody's perfect, ok so we should just BAN all humans that are bad at hammering?!"

That doesn't sound quite analogous to me. My scenario would be that for a particular hammering job, I can hire either a human or a hammering AI. If the hammering AI is imperfect, but still better and/or cheaper than the typical human worker, (at least as a cold-hearted business manager) I'd prefer the AI.
The idea that a 10000 year jail sentence must be served by every share holder disturbed in proportion to how much they owe would make “shareholder value” mean “not making me check into jail to serve my 2 days of the sentence for my 1 share” which might change corporate behavior a bit. Especially if insuring shareholders income against that risk becomes a line item in the budget.

Part of the problem is that those organizations allow fascists to enter them. (Like many left wing movements allow authoritarian communists -- tankies -- to enter them.)

Treehouse 0.1: Note-taking Front end
We got Chernobyl because there wasn't transparency. The flaw that caused the explosion was known to the USSR but it was covered up and a correction to existing reactors in production was not implemented until after it became impossible to ignore. The same would be happening to production reactors here in the US if it weren't for the strict government regulations that ensured that no western reactors could be built the way Chernobyl was (no containment building, graphite moderation etc.). This regulation is forcing transparency in design.
> I see it as unintentional discrimination. It's treating the people they are relabeling as children that need the kind progressives to step in and save them. It's so condescending.

I don't know how "unintentional" it is, but it sure is "discrimination" and "condescending." It's like how liberal whites dumb down their speech when talkign to black people: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/11/30/white-liber....

The dynamic is entirely consistent with them thinking about themselves as shepherding sheep. It's why they don't really care that nobody likes "Latinx." Who care what the sheep want to call themselves? It's also why they don't care whether the people they platform as icons of minority groups (Ilhan Omar, etc.) are representative of those groups or not. It's not coalition politics with give-and-take and compromise. It's a parent/child relationship.
