I want to live in an alternative timeline where RDF was never adopted by wikidata but instead created something that solved its specific problems in a human friendly manner. People always point to wikidata as a succesful semantic web project but fail to imagine how much more awesome it could have been. First off, wikidata has little use for ontologies outside of its own domain because all the types are modeled as dynamic second order concepts. Meaning, people organise knowledge using web pages and those webpages are used to structure other knowledge.

A simple Sparql query for wikidate would look something like this

select *
where {
?item wdt:Qe23oieke wd:Ert923Ee3451 .
service wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en" }
}

This incomprehensible nonsense is the result of two choices:
1) It had to be language independent because you know the world is bigger than just the anglosphere.
2) It had to be "machine readable", because then the computer can work together in harmony.

Putting the cart before the horse, or in this case the machine before the man.

A Windows PC… isn’t really your Personal Computer. Same for Android, iOS, Macs… it’s just that Microsoft (and some Android manufacturers) are abusing the power more than most.
StepCA supports quite a few authentication methods, including an "admin provisioner" (basically a passphrase that can be pasted into the CLI tools' stdin).

Because each of our servers are bespoke, we can use the admin provisioner when the server is first being set up (and actually, Ansible handles this part).

I don't have experience with it, but StepCA also has Kubernetes support, and I imagine the control plane could authenticate the pod when a cert needs to be issued or renewed.
Given the leverage inherent in government, self-dealing is always going to be a problem. Yes, given the cornucopia of moral hazards, it will always be attractive to charismatic sociopaths. And yes, even people of relatively sound moral intent easily fall prey to the opportunities for personal profit.

That does not require it to be 'the' government and for it to cease being 'our' government. Further, a sense of ownership and a desire to work constructively with the parts that improve our lives does not require me to abdicate moral judgement to its authority. Finally, believing that public office can and should be an honourable pursuit does not imply or require that I believe that my current representation comes anywhere close of meeting that standard.

You are correct to assume that I believe my current government enables or even engages in injustices against certain cohorts of the population. Yes, I even believe that I benefit from significant inter-generational privilege that others were actively denied. No, that neither means that my life is a cakewalk, nor does it compel me to plead forgiveness in the gutter. It does however instill a duty to raise those less fortunate up when I have the means to do so. It also compels me to advocate for collective action to do the same.

Ultimately, I don't see embodying alienation between a democratic government and its citizens to be a reasonable source of tribalistic pride. It's fucked, and fixing it should be almost as existentially compelling as eating or surviving the elements.
A little bit off topic, but I have to vent somewhere...

I don't know about Chrome, but if Android is their most high-quality thing, then at the very least they are also losing in developer experience. The churn in libraries and frameworks there is, from what I've seen, only second to Web frontend, and bugs in newer things are really embarrassing. "Ready for production" (they claim in the FAQ) Jetpack Compose is great when it works, but even the Android Studio-generated Compose template crashed the IDE several times, while manually setting it up crashed Kotlin compiler[1]. WorkManager and Room are important things that bugged out for me, too. And I'm at it for just 5 months - there's got to be way more dragons that I'm yet to see.

It's supposedly feature complete.

It is not. For one thing it is missing macros, power pivot, many solvers and support for third-party add-ons. It also screws up some visual things like text placement and the like.
Haven't come across this in the wild. My impression is that most of the semantic web people that were obsessing about ontologies twenty years ago have moved on.

As for AI, we now have deep learning approaches that don't require an investment in a lot of machine readable, disambiguated data but is as good or better than we are of making sense of unstructured data. That probably explains the low interest in semantic web type stuff at this point.

By "advanced military technology", I mean anything that's not an AK-47 and a bunch of grenades.

I do not know if it is the same in other countries, but in Italy public sector has been used for decades by bad politicians for paying political favors, "if you bring me votes of you family I'll manage to find a job to your son", the result is an oversized apparatus of people that do not like their work, work badly (if they work at all) and try to spent time in order to arrive to payslip day. In Italy the bureaucracy is become a monster that try to justify its existence creating other bureaucracy. At least half of italian bureaucracy workers are redundant. And I'm not a supporter of the private sector at all.

Nowadays you don't need to mess with Wine manually, there are a lot of tools to install Windows binaries just like they were Linux binary. You'll even forget you're using Windows versions.

You can check ProtonDB for compatibility. The information is valid even if you have the GOG version of the game. For games that are not on Steam there is WineDB but I find that the UI isn't as nice as ProtonDB.

Steam has a Linux launcher and let you install Windows binaries directly. For GOG or Epic games there is Heroic launcher which is very easy to use.

Don't overthink your distribution choice, just go for one of the major general purpose distribution (Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, etc) and you'll be fine no matter what you pick.
That would be handy. Designing your own front page to the internet was the height of web 2.0 AJAX & RSS but the idea is still valid and haven't seen a better replacement for what was easy back then despite Reddit's catchphrase.
Since no one mentioned it, I have a good news for you: it's a sweet spot between what a project manager needs and a team member needs, it's called a PERT estimate.
When asked to do an estimate, give your optimistic estimate, realistic estimate and pessimistic estimate.
This allows for a better idea of the risk and padding needed for this task (you don't need to add a buffer in any of those numbers) and the manager can use that to calculate a weighted average (very simple formula that you can find online).
It's in the PMBoK, so if you have a project manager, he/she should know about it.
The CA CLI tool we use supports a few auth methods, including a passphrase-like one. It likely could be set up with TOTP or a hardware token also. We only use OAuth because it's convenient and secure-enough for our use case.
Thanks! They wouldn't even need to keep them in 1m treasuries as overnight rate has been above 2% since last summer and is now above 4%. Also they could just have opened accounts in more banks and have their deposits secured. SVB was in all practice insolvent already last summer. I don't think all these customers could be idiots so there must have been some incentive which rewarded them for keeping the money unsucred I think.
This is your scheduled friendly reminder to try out Fedora Linux if you haven't tried Linux seriously yet. Its a great first Linux experience and comes with stock GNOME, which is a treat.

It also has a KDE version, which is similarly a fantastic GUI and actually influenced a lot of the design patterns people today associate as "windows-y" (I forgot where I read that one though, so I can't cite that particular tidbit)
That can easily be solved by outlawing them. Just like it has been solved with handguns everywhere except the U.S. which keeps refusing to realize that their 2nd amendmend is just harmful. Luckily it's about guns and not about robots, so at least they will be able to regulate that.
I wonder if there's some new quantum physics lurking somewhere deep in the fudge factors of the arcane cathedrals of chipmaking.

Not that this takes away from your overall point.
I use my PC infrequently, just for video games when I get time. It feels like every time I turn it one, maybe once a month, it's done an update to somehow look worse and worse. One of the latest changes is the search bar in the menu bar now has scroll icons and is double height despite being empty. It's like they don't do visual QA.
I really like in Rust how you can reinit a variable with a different type e.g. “let rect: Rect<f32> = rect.into();”

It’s just so damn useful and I’m not sure what the downside is, it sucks when you have to keep coming up with different names so you can keep around an identifier that you don’t need anymore.
Does the proposal include chat services that are run by corporations only? If so, how will that prevent people from setting up their own chat infrastructure for child-abuse purposes?

Besides that, how about educating people on how to do exactly that: Set up their own chat service.

That would put control in the hands of those people who are not only responsible for protecting children but also have the most leverage to do that: The parents.
The app can show a QR-code for inspection purposes. The police officer will scan this to verify a valid license. At no point do they touch the phone.
It looks like there is actually a market segment for «luxury» software. I wouldn't buy it either, but I'm not sure I've any strong opinions about it.

If it puts food on the table of someone that might be not writing bleeding edge algorithmic software, but take cares of reliability, system integration, UI designs and UX patterns of a scoped problem to solve, I'll have hard time to be against it.
This part sucks. I would rather save my $100 and not give a dime of that money to Microsoft, but in this country I was not allowed to order a laptop without it despite wasting more than $100 in folks’ time trying to reach someone who would let my protest.

I don't know if it's the same issue you have in mind, but I can 100% reproduce ZFS hanging and thinking a disk is unusable.

Steps to reproduce:

* Get an external HDD. I literally bought a new, different external HDD because I thought the problem was the old one (spoiler: nope, the problem still could be reproduced 100% on the new disk).

* Create a zpool for the whole disk.

* Create a dataset.

* Try to rsync several hundreds of GB to the ZFS dataset.

* Wait for a minute or two.

* Notice how it stops transferring data, and gives a weird error complaining the disk is unhealthy, faulty, or something (I don't remember the exact terms).

No amount of `zpool clear` or `zpool scrub` will fix it. I gave up and just formatted it as ext4 like all my other backup disks.

My use case for this was having this external HDD as a backup. The plan was to format this as ZFS, copy data from all my other external HDDs to this one, format the other external HDDs with ZFS, and then start rotating between them.

---

Another way to reproduce this is with torrents. When I downloaded torrents directly to an external HDD, it also hanged and got some errors, but in those cases it could be fixed with a `zpool clear` and scrubs, so it wasn't that bad (it wasn't literally unrecoverable, like the case I mention before).

---

So this leads me to believe there's something weird between ZFS, external HDDs, and trying to write too fast.

The whole point was to be able to run `zpool scrub` on those external HDDs. But like I said, I gave up on that for now. So the current plan is to try to build a NAS and do the same attempt, but with internal HDDs.
Yes, but a cute one. It's the diminutive form.
> Yes, it is. The job of a proprietary OS is whatever that company says it is.

That's just semantics. The job of an OS is to be an OS, not to be an advertisement delivery mechanism. At least primarily. Just like a car is primarily for driving, not sampling random smells, even if a carmaker makes a car that can do that.
If someone called me 'tiny boots' I'd just assume they were comparing me to Caligula
Yeah it's crazy, I used to work on PCs for a living and saw what a lot of people see when they use their PC and it was so clear how much they were throwing biased, not even remotely balanced, news articles at people's faces everyday. Maybe if the articles made an attempt to breakdown each sides arguments or something it'd be OK.. I guess.. maybe. But it was just tabloid style articles written about important current events as if only one side exists to every argument.

It is not unusual for an entire tree to end up floating in the ocean.

Some of the branches will end up dry above the water, and in a big tree might take months for the leaves to die.

Those branches can be a home for all kinds of creatures.

Across the whole world, and millions of years, almost every small creature will get to every continent this way.

The reason many creatures haven't yet spread like this is that many creatures have a minimum viable population in the tens or hundreds of individuals.
Nitpicking, but this has nothing to do with democracy. I know it works as a form of propaganda to use the "democracy should not do X" but democracy in no way disallows chat control programs. Democracy it's only the system used to chose governing officials. If a majority of the people's representatives approves chat control, it would be perfectly democratic. Anti-democratic would be to remove the freedom to contest the proposal, which no one did or is trying to do.

Also freedom of speech it's about the possibility to express your opinions, not that the opinions would receive no post-expression control nor that the people expressing them should bear no responsibility for what they say.

Monitoring and auditing have always been integral to democratic systems, they are called law enforcement and as such they have broader access to information that must be authorized, it is by design.

In the end it's all about different ideas supported by different parties here, that are discussing a proposal, which is the essence of democracy.

It will resolve in a compromise, as usual.

Those who are discussing it as "evil" VS "good" are missing the point of the democratic process IMO.

Mullvad is in fact urging politicians in the EU to vote no, they are not proposing to attack the EU institutions with guns and those supporting the chat control are not saying that Mullvad "supports online pedophilia".
> Who elected those guys anyway?

EP elections are well publicized and every EU citizen has the right to vote on it

That's exactly what I like about it. Windows 3.x was terrible. Win95 looked pretty but was a garbage os. But windows NT with the win95 UI on it finally convinced me to ditch my Amiga (although I was VERY tempted by NeXT). And honestly, I haven't seen any UI enhancements since then that are useful to me.
Sure there are still cases where you can't switch, but the gap is ever closing and is already very very narrow. Proton covers most games, and WINE covers most windows software, and plenty of big software has native versions for multiple OSes.

I think if more people tried Rather than just assuming they would probably be pleasantly surprised.

Not just the DoD -- pretty much the entire intelligence community, in every developed country. Also, several private companies with high-stakes IP; I know this is the case at some quantitative trading firms, for instance, and I knew some people working in Prime Air at Amazon in the early days who not only had to surrender their phones, but had to arrive at the office (whose address was unpublished even internally) by way of unmarked bus from a park-and-ride (and weren't allowed to wear anything which would identify them as working for Amazon).
> If you want to reply that Linux is a perfectly usable OS for a gaming rig these days then please reconsider. It's just not.

The fact that Valve recently released a gaming handheld that runs Linux, and is wildly successful, should be a hint on the status of gaming on Linux

What differentiates libraries from the IA in this context, though?
Hookmark app.
Most of the games now are always online and some of them opt for home-grown, Microsoft Windows-only kernel anti-cheat detection rather than working with the bigger engines that Valve worked with to get said anti-cheat systems running on Linux.

Others refuse to support Linux thinking it’ll bring more bug reports, but there was an interview in recent years where the game company realized the Linux community knew they could submit bug reports, they submitted good bug reports (that affected all platforms too), and didn’t see software as a black box for consumption but a community effort. They ended up praising the Linux community for their bug reports even if the number of reports were higher.
With your comments referring to how hard or complex you think switching would be, it doesn't seem like it. But OK.
Regarding Joseph Heller he said in an interview:

“I wrote for two or three hours in the morning, then went to a gym to work out,” he said. “I’d have lunch alone at a counter, go back to the apartment and work some more. Sometimes I’d lie down and just think about the book all afternoon — daydream if you will. In the evenings I’d often go out to dinner with friends.”
Exactly! I was thinking of shadowing in Rust when I wrote my original comment.

My day job is predominantly in Typescript and a lot of code winds up reading significantly worse than it needs to. A common pattern for me is unique-ifying some sort of array—“const dataUnique = new Set(data);” is horrible, and if there’s no reason to keep the original “data” variable in scope then it’s doubly bad; I want to keep as little context in my head as possible.
Because the European Commission is not a democratic institutionen! Those bureaucrats are mostly announced, not elected. And each European nation is only sending those politicians into the Commission, that are unwanted in national politics.

In other words: The European Commission is the autocratic reservoir for conservative politicians that were to extremistic for national audiences.

If the specific setup is an external HDD (or maybe a very slow disk, and trying to write too fast to it), then I can make sense of parent's comment.

Like I mentioned in my sibling comment, I can 100% reproduce something that sounds like what parent mentioned (most recent attempt was like 1-2 months ago); but for my specific case, I can see how ZFS on an external HDD might not be that common.

A one-time $1k splurge is less expensive than a new $10/mo habit as long as it really is one time - the whole Diderot Effect thing helping us to think about why the splurge might not be as bounded as we’d hoped, though.

I try to think of recurring expenses in terms of how much capital it would take to fund them in perpetuity (because I may well live another 50 years!), at 3% interest.

That $10/month subscription? $120/yr, or $4,000.

That’s not at all guaranteed to support the expense forever, but I find it’s a useful way to think about little recurring expenses before they add up out of control.

Does anyone know if this works well (to the extent that it does), because the documented Blender Python API was part of the GPT-4 training set, or because the Blender API is fairly predictable?

I'd love to add this capability to our SaaS product, but I've waited for OpenAI to make GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 available for fine-tuning. (Cramming an entire API into the prompt does not seem feasible, not even with support for 32K tokens.)
The downside is when reading code you’re keeping in your head information about the type of each variable. If you skim through the code and miss one of these redefinitions then you may be mistaken about the variable’s type.

That said, I still think sparing use of this is justified, especially with an editor which can show types on mouseover.
