I have released works under copyleft licenses and am not OK with Microsoft using those for profit without respecting the license (e.g. without opening up the models derived from copyleft works) when Microsoft themselves have been going after others copying their works when that benefited them. They shouldn't get to have it both ways - either we reform copyright or everyone should be required to follow it. If anyhting, large corporations should be subject to stricter enforcement since they already can benefit more due to their size.

Reality is there are rarely to the death true libertarians or authoritarians, only those who lacked the opportunity in the monument to change their positions when significant threats or opportunities are presented. The optimal degree of control in a system is based on context, both for the individual and the system itself. To think otherwise is just illogical and discards the complexity of the world for a theoretical utopia.

Anyone that believes to the death libertarian bros exist doesn’t understand the people they’re referring to — which to me is a larger issue than people behaving rationally.

Your code reminds me of the good old C64 (MOS 6502) days which had a similar architecture.

I have no clue how a Color Computer works related to the hardware details. But for C64 the logic for ROM / RAM visibility was special. If this is also the case, it can be used for a further speedup.

The ROM/RAM switch was only relevant for read but not for write access. The consequence was that you could poke/write to a ‚ROM‘ address (e.g. 40960) hereby changing the underlying RAM.

So your code might not need to switch between ROM/RAM, it only needs to ensure ROM readability at the start.

Robotic systems will help people with a lot of tasks. Some professions will feel threatened like artists, lawyers, counselors, programmers, and so on. If they don't prevent the use of AI this will be a benefit for the society as a whole.

An example: if an AI reliably can give legal counsel for clear cases, people can ask what they can do if something happens. This gives power to the people. Lawyers will work for unclear cases to create precedents. This opens up the space to solidify law even for niche cases.

This all dependents on whether society can care for the poor. If the poor are well off, too, then they can afford to be laid off and find something else. In extreme cases they don't need to find a new job but they need to find a new meaning of life. If this works out, everybody can enjoy the new offerings of AI.

I just am afraid that key people prevent progress, like forbidding legal AI because only humans can be lawyering around, but what they want is more money. I also am afraid that some people can monopolize access to AI. This is the bigger danger in my opinion than AI alignment. If everything is open and transparant and people can build their own AI assistants, we will get a new wave of progress.

This will be a giant step to utopia, I hope.

One of the biggest problem in python packaging is... not packaging.

Bootstrapping a workable dev env is hard: you can fail at installing python, setting it up, creating a venv, activating it...

This PEP is a step in the right direction: we don't want people that don't know what they are doing (which is a lot of python users, since it's a popular language among non developers) to install something outside of a venv.

First, it can break things. But also, it will probably not work, and if it does, it will bite them later on.

So the PEP is willing to break backward compatibility for pip to say "nope, you are not in a venv, you can't install a package" by default, and give instructions on how to do so to the user.

Ideally, we should have something like cargo or npm, which solve the entire problem altogether, but believe it or not, it's not easy to do for a project as old and successful as python.

This is a healthy compromise while something better is decided.
I wonder if VSCode’s Remote Container stuff works with Podamn on windows. The Docker Desktop + VSCode + Remote Container Dev + the ESP-IDF tooling is the nicest way to do production ESP32 dev with multiple ESP-IDF version (and even without that is just much simpler to get up and running on Windows, despite the rube Goldberg machine-esque description of it)
Some browsers have round() and sign(), either of which can make it work. It's a pity that defining sign(x) as x/abs(x) breaks down when x = 0, otherwise you could use that since abs(x) = max(-x,x), and max() is supported widely.

I don't understand why there's so much backlash on this.

Let's be honest here.

Docker has been directly involved with creating a container runtime and has provided this for free with no strings attached for about 10 years. They've also hosted Docker images on the Docker Hub for free this whole time. Using Docker's runtime and official images are still free for everyone after this change.

Now they are removing some of the free bits for hosting repos for teams but at the same time they offer a form you can fill out to continue to get free hosting for open source projects https://www.docker.com/community/open-source/application/. Why didn't Jose fill out this form?

We've all benefited from Docker and in my opinion their pricing strategy is pretty reasonable around team licenses. I mean you could be a $500 million dollar company with 100 developers and end up paying about $10,000 for the year on Docker Desktop licenses, meanwhile your payroll on those devs will be like $20,000,000.
I thought the same thing about the compiler, but the threads I read said GPT would just make up imaginary crates to use in some cases.
I see it as no different from maintaining old software. Either keep it going yourself (by breaking the copyright protection or bypassing user restrictions), or you pay to get it fixed or find another working copy. I wouldn't expect free help from the company for a copy of Adobe Photoshop CS6 considering CS6 is ten years old at this point. This seems less like a warranty issue and more like a lemon law issue.

The problem is there's no easy way into this software like there is with personal computers. And most annoyingly most of it's in a proprietary ROM. Unlike an old copy of VLC that someone can download off the internet and modify, pulling and modifying the music playback software running on their car's infotainment system is nearly impossible. Because it's not on the CANBUS or OBD-II so they can't get to it via the car's main systems, it's some strange standalone with unique implementations that they would need to spend months learning how to engineer a replacement for, and they have no way of reflashing the ROM or performing the even simpler task of just saving the new software to onboard storage.
My thought too! Once they release the image input capability it may well be capable of this, depending on how the image input works.

It would take me a huge mental effort to read "tech bros" as a discrimination based on gender - and I'm a man. They are talking about a few selected guys and decided to call them as tech bros - it's not calling for discrimination against men. No need to take it further, censor, ban.

Charging for a hosting service is now being "actively hostile". Talk about entitlement.
This is way, way too simplistic and implies that you somehow can know what the value is... The whole discipline of ethics within philosophy for thousands of years had been grappling with this... because it's hard!

Now, just to give you a counter-example, where it would be very hard to argue that the job compensation was based on value: there was an article about a year ago about some government bureaucrat in either Spain or France who's been dead for seven years, and the government forgot to notice, so it was sending him a paycheck month after month. -- How's that for generating value?

Now, of course, there's also a debate on universality of value. Some believe that the value is universal, but the reality is s.t. it's hard to justify this belief. For example, the value provided to a dictator of a fascist state by his bodyguards doesn't seem to align well with the value those bodyguards provide for the rest of the state (and especially for the neighbors of that state). So, how can you argue that the bodyguard's pay is justified? Why do you have to take the perspective of the dictator rather than the people being under their thumb?

And of course, there is a debate about how to measure the magnitude of value: is it absolute or, again, proportional to the subject of it. Those who believe in universal value also tend to believe in absolute value, but they don't have to. So, again, a thousand dollars might be a difference between being able to make good on rent and becoming homeless for a poor person while for a rich person a thousand dollars might be so insignificant that they don't even notice spending it. And then again, you need to work hard to convince others that the value is absolute (i.e. that dollars don't capture the value and so on).

> When a dev is producing code

I worked for my previous employer for three years. It was before they had any paying customers (a start-up). After I quit, for various reasons, they decided to get rid of my code, and replaced it with something else. In other words, while I worked for my former employer, none of my code generated any value, but I still got paid. They still aren't even breaking even (they have something like five customers), and none of my code is in use anymore. How do you explain my salary then?

And I'm definitely not the only example. Large companies are known for throwing money on something that ends up being a flop, speculatively. So, it looks like there's more to it than simply writing code for the product that generates profits. Don't you think?

I would love to have an overview on a project repo, explain to me which files does what without me opening them. For a piece of code, unless it is badly written, I don't think I need explanation.

Why do you need to hold that much cash in deposits though? There are alternatives that provide essentially the same kind of liquidity such as money market funds, which are used by other businesses. The rules were pretty clear: deposits are insured only up to $250k, anything above that isn't risk-free. If you don't want to have the slight overhead of finding alternatives for anything that supersedes that amount, you should have had to accept the risk that you might lose anything above those $250k.

So the above case of "user that just wants to install app" just works, and the crap pip spews is nicely contained.
It's on ours where I work, which is why we use Gitea to clone the various open source projects we use to our own servers. With binary level deduplication the amount of data stored is actually incredibly small. I think the unduplicated storage is like 50GB, and the deduplicated is like 10GB?
