Hmmm. I meant for that to be snarky, but it is a better headline.
Too bad. I'm kinda surprised they never found anything at all.
Linux is a kernel. Making your own distribution and DE is how you create a Linux-based macOS.

I’d say System 76 is doing that but their execution has stumbled for the past year or so. They are working on their own Rust-based DE, to some level of success. I hope they get back on track.
gpt-4-32k is yet on another level. I think a gpt-4-32m would replace any senior engineer working on a complex code base.
It's a tricky problem, because on devices without biometric authentication I really don't want to type in my long master password every time!

I think I'd appreciate an option such that:

1. If I'm online, I can unlock with a pin. Some critical piece of information would be kept server-side, and the server would limit unlock attempts.

2. If I'm offline and need access to my vault—which happens but not too often—I need to use my full master password.

I think this should be doable? Could you retain enough end-to-end encryption such that if Bitwarden itself is hacked, my vault couldn't be decrypted via only my pin?
In 2019, Facebook had 44k employees but by 2022 that number had more than doubled to 86k. Even with the current layoffs, they will only be back to 2021 levels.

It could be argued that it's reasonable to aim for pre-pandemic employee levels, given the drop in valuation, post-pandemic revenue decrease, and the significant loss in revenue from Apple's privacy changes.

This is just speculation and should be taken with a grain of salt. To achieve pre-pandemic employee levels, Facebook would need to cut an additional 20K employees.
Often, I enjoy running emacs (and vim) in a terminal. (And, by the way, as we all know, “VSCode” stands for “Eight Gigabytes And Constantly Swapping.”)
I think it’s a little more complicated.

By far the biggest piece is that WikiLeaks’ relevance has declined over the past several years. When Assange was first summoned to appear in Sweden I think there was an enormous spotlight on him. This might not have saved him from being convicted for the crime he was accused of, but it might have been enough to dissuade the Obama administration from seeking to extradite him. That administration had already expressed concern about the impact a prosecution might have on journalistic freedom, and (at the time) extraditing him on arrival in Sweden would have made both governments look like that were colluding to use a sexual assault accusation as a pretext for political retribution. I’m not saying they wouldn’t have done it: I am saying it would had massive repercussions for the US administration, Sweden, etc.

Instead of facing the charges head on, Assange chose to lock himself in his own prison. Years went by and the public’s interest in him waned. A new administration came to power that had no specific concerns about the press, and saw Assange as nothing more than a criminal. Finally, he decided to intervene in politics in a way that many saw as an intentional effort to affect the election, which damaged the case that he was simply a publisher. Ultimately I think you’re right that this damaged his sympathy with the people who would have been the most vigorous defenders, but the thing is: outside of those people he seems to have no base of support at all anymore.
I ultimately decided to leave tech when I realized I didn't care much about delivering value and actually just wanted to write beautiful code. The former was a nice bonus for me, but the latter was profoundly captivating.

I'd unfortunately tried to make that mismatch work for too long, and as a result I completely destroyed all of my programming interest via severe burnout.

If this resonates with whoever reads this: please take your passion seriously and protect it. I don't know if I'll ever be able to enjoy coding again, unfortunately.
> This sentence specifically, is not true. If your EC2 instances are in the same VPC but different AZs the data transfer is still free.

Your assertion is not true. We run intra-VPC services across AZs and they are billed for network traffic. It's also shown as incurring cost in your second source.

I had made this same comment then deleted it in order to check for sure. You are right that the Amazon docs are horribly confusing. The pricing page is up there with the descriptions of security on S3.
Why sell it? The SNB doesn't need to sell them and yes they can hold them to maturity. They can also give a larger credit line to CS and CS can buy back all the bonds from investor that want it. At CHF 100B it's a CHF 50B - 20B capital injection.
> Doesn't matter what the market expects what matters are the facts.

Market expectations are based on facts.

Yeah! Unpredictable is a synonym for surprising. I think you're agreeing with me? It would be surprising if CS stock went from $8B to $1B overnight.
The point of the regulation is to prevent things like charging foreigners more products or services that will be consumed in-country. The example covers the scenario of "Well what if I'm in a different country than a vendor making a purchase (in which case it is okay for the vendor to charge more), but what I am purchasing will be obtained/'consumed' in the country of the vendor (in which case it is not okay for the vendor to charge more)?" And in that case it's also against the regulations to charge more.

----

Rule: "However, if you buy goods online without cross-border delivery – such as when you buy something online which you intend to collect from a trader or shop yourself – you should have access to the same prices and special offers as buyers living in that EU country."

Example: "Hilda from Denmark wanted to book a hire car in Spain for her summer holidays. She chose the car she wanted to book on the website of a Spanish car rental company. However, when she entered her address to finalise the reservation, she saw that the total price for her car rental increased by EUR 140. [This action is against the regulations.]"
I think its pretty obvious this is a proxy war. Many legislators (both republican and democrat) are openly admitting it. See Dan Crenshaw-TX openly claim the benefits to the Ukraine war being able to fight a major geopolitical rival (Russia) with no American casualties by supplying weapons to Ukraine. That is a proxy war by definition. Looks at comments from Victoria Nuland (state dept officials from both parties) being glad the Nordstream pipeline being blown up.
Dollars are fungible, but you can still have two of them.

Given many of the shortcomings that still exist with ChatGPT-4, especially some of the comments here showing it can't even play Tic Tac Toe, I suspect one of two things. I'm sure OpenAI collected far more training data that included chess moves in the data set for GPT-4, but I suspect they may have further tuned and optimized GPT-4 for playing chess as well. I also suspect maybe there's something about chess algebraic notation that works unusually well with LLMs, while there may be no equivalent for a game like Tic Tac Toe.

Clearly, GPT-4 knows opening sequences extremely well, as it's seen countless examples of each. GPT-3 memorized optimal strategies for the first 10-20 moves, and GPT-4 likely memorized many moves deeper than that. To truly test GPT-4s ability to play chess, we need to test it with highly unusual opening positions, opening moves that, very likely, were not in its training data. Then we can see how well GPT-4 truly understands the rules and strategies of chess, and how much of it is just memorization.
What an over-engineered piece of junk. I am convinced one of the requirements was that the design should be intentionally over-complicated.

I'd add that right around 1983 is sort of a special date. It was just around that time that it was becoming reasonable for a middle-class person to buy a home computer. Go back a few years from that time and you could potentially program in Basic or Fortran but you were doing so over a terminal or with punch cards and didn't really have any direct interaction with the computer except in relatively specialized situations.

> Media and governments today control how protests are perceived. That is the issue.

So does social media and the messaging you put out on your accounts. Hint: if you want broad(er) societal support, don't (e.g.) fly Confederate flags (which tend to be associated with the KKK and racists), which will show up in the messaging you own and what is also broadcast on television. A news story by CTV on just such an occurrence, interviewing the dude:

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQdBNPXMiC4

It's also why you need outreach: if all you're doing is talking in your own little echo chamber, the broader public may not get your side of the story (or a distorted version).

The various protests in 2020 had a similar issue: 97% of them were peaceful, but some riots did occur, and that got some press and altered (some) people's perceptions of events. Really recommend Chenoweth's book where this is discussed (specifically about "fringe violence" when the overall movement is non-violent.)

Yes, I paid to use GPT-4.
Then you'll probably wind up using the same 3 or 4 glues for everything. Actually almost everyone will do that because few have a magnificent glue collection.

Super glue, shoe goo, and epoxy are going to give pretty good bonding for their use cases but are more toxic.

Hot glue and titebond III seem to be safe-ish(Hot glue doesn't exactly smell very healthy when you use it though!) But require technique and experience to use and know what stuff to not even try using them with.

And gorrilla tape is probably good enough half the time.

UV glue I just don't have any experience at all with, but it seems to be gaining popularity. Just don't use the nail polish and blast your hands with UV too much!

Mechanical fastening is usually least toxic and often stronger.

Paper or hemp cord willer or wrapping is often helpful.

But my favorite of all is to design things such that you're not putting lots of forces on a joint in the first place, then it's less important how you make said joint. Look at a basic ugly cinder block and scrap wood shelf. The load goes straight down compressing the blocks, gravity is doing most of the work here, so friction holds it together.

That's not all the commenter said. "The moaning and groaning about how bad it is just seems so.....pointless to me."

If System Settings is fine for the commenter, that's great for the commenter. (Although "I virtually never use it" isn't exactly a great response to "It's virtually unusable" or a great defense of System Settings.) However, the commenter is criticizing other people for complaining about it, and that's not justified.

I'm sure you already know it doesn't contain spotlight itself, which belongs to Apple.

There exist equivalents that have exactly that same functionality as described above. I don't know what GNOME uses, but KDE's krunner searches system settings, user files and applications, bookmarks, browser tabs, solves arithmetic and unit conversions, does spell checking, searches the web, searches active windows, applications and workspaces, etc.. It's configurable with many plugins available. I expect GNOME's system works similarly.
I was at lockheed and am still friends with some of the best engineers I have ever worked with ; Every single HW engineer I worked with also coded - and we have built, patented and pursued so many other paths based on the capabilities of HW engineers being able to design actual HW as well as spec the code required to solve the problem.

So, if you have the capability, certainly go both... It will give you, at your age, the ability to build the change you want to see in the world....

Imho, if WikiLeaks had focused on being the Craigslist of information, without attempting to market themselves, they would have gotten a lot more public support.

> Many companies and tools are built on and rely on this API for their product & daily operations.

Hopefully not their entire product. The first rule is don't build your company on the back of another, but I think the most important part is that if you do use another company, make sure you're fine if they disappear one day.

The last time Facebook made major changes (ostensibly as a response to the Cambridge Analytica stuff, but that was just an excuse) a bunch of people got burned.

My company did too but we always kept ourselves in a place where if it vanished we'd be - at worst - inconvenienced.

This approach came because early on I was burned by Twitter changes that were more impactful.

Most recent Twitter changes prove that even paying for access provides no guarantees.
We can agree that 90% is trivially solvable. That will get deployed shortly.

So you are telling me that a peaking nuclear plant will solve the last 10% when it comes online at earliest 2040? What problem are we even solving at that time other rather than brute forcing nuclear into the solution?

Then try put that nuclear power plant on a marginal price market. What do you expect to happen?
Raspbian [1] is the name of the original community project to port Debian to armhf (armv6 hard float) which ran on the Raspberry Pi 1.

You don't actually need biometrics, you just need a TPM to handle your pin-to-password function with an attempt limit.
Windows Hello and TouchID are supported according to this blog post: https://bitwarden.com/blog/introducing-desktop-biometrics/

Not every device has the necessary hardware, though; most desktops don't have it, so they would need to rely on external hardware such as USB keys. Furthermore, the demonstration video is clearly running on some kind of Linux/BSD system, where support for trust hardware is distinctly lacking.

I don't know why you would bother with a PIN on your password manager. My guess is that it's a feature designed for mobile devices, where access to the underlying key store is near impossible so brute-forcing is much less of a risk. Biometrics are usually available there as well, but if you don't trust them with your most secure passwords (you probably shouldn't) or if you want a backup, a PIN would be an excellent defence mechanism for when you've left your phone unlocked and a stranger is trying to steal your passwords.
USDC is not stable. They have long ago removed their 1 to 1 peg with the USD because it was unsustainable. They are printing money and the value is being kept up only on the speculative expectations of the market. Like all other shitcoins they can not guarantee anything when things start to go down. Noone can guarantee anything. Those shitcoins that never had any traction according to you have cost billions to the people.
It's not due to "questioning" what's going on in Ukraine, but rather repeating Kremlin talking points.

Dragging it into the "both sides" empire-vs-empire context is exactly what Russia wants, as it justifies their naked imperialism while making it so their goal of Ukraine ceasing to exist could be some diplomatic middleground rather than the maximalist goal that it is.

In reality Ukraine wants to be part of the West, as it's a whole lot nicer than the Russian empire that seems to still be running on the playbook from the 1940's. So talking about this as if it's two empires divvying up a country is nonsensical - rather it's the cold truth that world powers exist, and to defend a war against one you have to align yourself with a different one.

And just so we're clear here, I say this as someone who wholeheartedly opposed invading Iraq.

Yeah. We increasingly want to believe that there exists a viable substitute for everything, that we can have it all.

For example, there are clear health benefits associated with long term relationships and marriage. Some antisocial people would like to believe that that doesn't matter because they can replicate these benefits if only they eat clean, exercise, abstain from alcohol, etc. Well, turns out, there are health benefits to LTRs that cannot be replicated otherwise. Your theory is one possibility. But simply eating clean, working out, getting a lot of sleep, drinking water, and having clean bills of health and good blood tests isn't enough. You will still die earlier than someone who's not single. You won't have the discipline to maintain this lifestyle until the end of your life.

But you can't enjoy the benefits of singlehood and the benefits of LTRs at the same time. This is controversial. But you can't have it all. You can't optimize your life for everything at the same time. We're disgusted at the idea that we may have to pay a cost or sacrifice something. In this case, sacrificing the freedom of choice and the flexibility that comes with singlehood for the health benefits of LTRs. But no. We want the freedom of choice, the flexibility, and the benefits of LTRs.

Similarly, you can't become rich quickly without taking an incredible amount of risk that will in all probability leave you worse off. Other than luck, the true and tried path to long term wealth is to grind for decades at a job or a profession that brings money. Being a doctor, or a FAANG SWE, or starting a business. This all takes hard work and patience. But some people would rather try their hand at get rich quick schemes with cryptocurrency, options trading, or other scams. Very few succeed. That's luck. Most fail.

Define “out of the box” because with Linux there’s millions of hardware variations to deal with.

The only possible way this would work OOB is if the OEM or the community maintained OOB settings for each hardware variant.

Heck, I was recently shopping PC laptops and would see variations in CPU OEMs (AMD vs Intel) for the same model.
