Looking at the responses to this post, a more expected headline would've been “Ubuntu stops shipping Snap by default”.
Came here to say this.

Over my career, the higher up the pay grade I went, the less actual code I was writing and the more it was figuring out what to do, what's priority, how the existing code all fits together, evaluating risk, and how to make the right surgical incisions to accomplish the goals.

Glorious and quite rare is the moment when a problem is clearly written up by a PM and the codebase is greenfield or clear enough that just pumping out code is happening and taking up my day.

Most senior software engineers are less programmer and more analyst.
I hate constant news. Cutting the news in large part out of my life has definitely improved my wellbeing.

Now, I only check the news on Saturday morning, to know what's going on in the world. It leaves breaking news time to get the facts straight, and to filter out the non-news of the week.
It's ChatGPT, not ChatGTP. GPT stands for generative pre-trained transformer. [1]

Islamic religion had become a uniting force only by "spreading by the sword" since in the original form as conceived by the Arabs it was merely a simplistic dogma tuned to their needs, times and culture.

It was the conquered cultures which brought in a huge Knowledge Base into it which was then sold under the Islamic/Arabic banner.

But because of the inherent intolerant nature of Islam (as the linked article in my previous comment points out about the rejection of Mutazilism - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu%27tazilism) Islam inevitably declined into the mess that it is today. Contrast it against the spread, stability and popularity of Buddhism and you can see the stark difference. The latter is constructive while the former is destructive, the latter harmoniously marries Native culture to Religion (eg. Buddhism in Sri Lanka vs. China vs. Japan etc.) while the former is consumed by hatred, infighting and identity crisis.

what confuses me is not the origin of the arsenic in rice, but why there's more after you process the rice... where does it come from??
not a scot (actually i'm english - shock, horror) but i was married to a scottish girl and lived in edinburgh off and on for about 10 years, and some things have stuck.

i think that i am processing codeine ok, as when i took some of my late mum's pure codeine tablets (she got them for awful menstrual/menopause problems) it sent me off into a warm nice place. but try getting them from your gp these days, if you are a man.
Sbf is on trial.

Cz's alleged crimes are much less bad IMO, and no worse than a lot of other white collar crime. Binance mainly only "victimized" more sophisticated players like hedge funds or Americans who knew it was illegal but wanted to trade crypto derivatives anyway.
But you could go to Paris and have the equally iconic and functional plan illuminé, and it instantly felt like Paris.

Are saying this is not supposed to rile up the user base, or not that the law is in Italy?
You need to use it now because it works, not perfect but it reached the 80/20 for enough things, and you still need to do the last 20. Even if not, it will get you some gains if you use it when it fits
Sometimes, there are some nasty errors pushed to the production, and you only realize it when users start complaining. In this case, you just quickly give a hotfix and wish all your users will get the new fixed version immediately.
> Those other processes with the tightest sandbox possible...

I guess I should get really around to getting the nvidia-vaapi-driver to work inside the decode sandbox, rather than requiring it to be disabled.
If you're shipping modern code like go or rust you have a static build with no real dependencies. If you're shipping a scripting language like python you're probably going to use their base images, and if you're shipping native C/C++ you have to figure out your risk tolerance for trusting a distro to ship good dependencies vs. just building them yourself. It's not hard to build all your deps in a container, and arguably is the best security practice so you have total control and knowledge of their versions.
This is comical. Even when ignoring any ethical reasons.

I'd would dare guess that climate change will make farming animals much less feasible in many parts of Italy in the very near future.

Lab-grown meat will become the only option for cash-strapped locals who want to cook (and thus preserve) local cusine meat dishes. Meat from livestock will have become too expensive for most people by then.

I.e. when that happens you have to decide what 'heritage' you want to preserve: parts of Italian cusine that require meat to prepare or farming animals for meat production.

The amount of water required to produce meat from livestock then will be so much that people will suffer water shortages because of it.
Well snaps are supposed to be this great server feature because you can install whatever great program from whatever other distro ecosystem using snaps… or something
Every CEO of every major US company is a US intelligence asset.

Making Python 100x faster with less than 100 lines of Rust
Definitely not an emulator. It's fully AlloyDB...in a container. We'll be working moving forward to smooth out the install process (tech preview, focus was on getting it in y'alls hands). In my mind, it's a proper Postgres drop-in replacement (Yes, of course I'm biased because I work at Google) but the tech is legit.
Just withdrew 5 figures worth of assets. It took around 5 minutes.
Nope, Windows goes during partitioning, I'm not going to boot into that stuff even once. If I bought the laptop it's because I did my research and I am confident that I will be able to fully manage it from Linux.
I'm a woman, apparently women have a much lower tolerance for VR. Some people theorize its due to avoiding damage to the child during pregnancy.

So even on my very high end setup (Index 120hz,4090 rtx), I still get nausea.
It also takes a while for people to get their VR legs, and I don't have time for using VR very day, it's more like once a month.
Never checkout PopOS before, thanks for the hint!
I've been a staunch supporter of Elon throughout all his scandals, especially the Twitter ones but I'm unable to come up with any justification for this.

Everything leads to him (and others) pressuring OpenAI to pause so they could catch up.

It doesn't take much smarts to deduce the cats already out of the bag. There is no stopping this, only pressuring/slowing-down/targeting certain players (OpenAI) as a competition tactic.

I often refer to the I, Robot quote "brilliant people often have the most persuasive demons" when it comes these situations with people like Elon or Ye but even then, all this just leaves a really bad taste in my mouth.
"This argument would make a lot more sense if people actually gave a shit what TechCrunch or CNN had to say"

The only requirement is a sound argument. The source is an unimportant detail.
In my opinion basic was not about the language. It wasn't that easy to understand, it wasn't that powerful, it was slow.

It was about simplicity, it was easy to make sound. To draw to the screen.

It was about accessibility. Computers with it would boot right to a basic prompt. To use a computer was to program, and you were certain to naturally be exposed to programming and learn by doing rather than in a classroom.

It was also about the fact you could easily open up other programs and read and modify them, much like older fashioned web and HTML.

That's why these new basic projects fail so often. Python is simply better, and the ease of use of modern computers and phones means that the push basic used to have is just gone.

Basic is being able to hear your data when you play it on a tape. It's about being able to cheat in your game by changing the code. It's typing code in from magazines and making games in math class. It's warm and fuzzy and you just can't bring it back.
How does the network switch occur when you live migrate the VM? I see some mentioning of multus-cni, but I was not aware of anything in kubernetes that allowed you to migrate a network interface across nodes.
But what's the point? You install debian stable, where every library is at around 2 years old. Now you want run SomeApplication (Blender, Gimp, video games) as that's what you actually use your computer for.

If you wanted to run a 2 year old version of SomeApplication, that would work just fine. Is that what you really want? Is that what most users want?

If you instead install a snap/flatpack of the latest version of SomeApplication, you are installing also new libraries instead of the good old stable libraries your distro provides. So what's the point then?
> The market won't have a say when bureaucrats pass a law mandating every burger or sausage should contain a % of lab-grown meat, with the % increasing every year. If there's anything the recent years have showed is that slippery slope isn't a fallacy.

Sure, but they're currently demonstrating this in the exact opposite way: the market won't have a say when bureaucrats mandate everything has a maximum percentage of lab-grown meat, and that proposed percentage is "zero".
This is what I meant. Just felt so routinely disrespectful and condescending.
Firecracker doesn’t support live migrations. There is a new project called cloud hypervisor and it showed a lot of promise, but we struggled to make it works and reverted to QEMU

As for k8s its an ongoing debate internally if the complexity worth the benefit. It helps us provision nodes but we have to fight it quite a bit too. It’s unclear we will keep it long term
Yes, and we can thank Prime Minister John Howard for outlawing assault rifles after the 1996 Port Arthur massacre.
At the moment isn't the biggest risk to humanity from AI (or atleast pedestrians) the AI in Elon Musk's Tesla cars?
Not as of yet, no. I've gently nudged the eng/product teams in this direction, but for now it's all being kept in-house.

There are some examples [0], although admittedly they are isolated cases.

What's wrong isn't so much the package managers as the necessity for them and for an army of third party volunteers to maintain packages and all the problems that predictably arise from that. Linus famously complained about how things work at DebConf 14[0], but I guess he's an idiot for doing so? That's a pretty hot take but whatever.

If a package is not in the repo? Sorry, you have to compile from source. Want a newer version? Compile from source and hope that the build environment dependencies are in the repo. Want an older version for some reason? Break out docker or KVM so you don't break your system.

None of this is fundamental to the model, that much is true, but in practice it is how all Linux distributions using a package manager/repo model without things like Snap, AppImage, and Flatpak work.

Here's the best part though: Even with Flatpaks and AppImage you can still use a repo! In fact Fedora Silverblue, which uses an immutable base system and installs everything through Flatpak and Toolbox, uses a Fedora controlled Flatpak repo by default.

Lenovo has a tool for exploring their bios for particular systems: https://download.lenovo.com/bsco/index.html

Not sure why the subdomain is download because you do not have to download anything.

This particular laptop supports s3 sleep (under config > sleep state).
"they only know this after getting a background check,"

Many ask on the application for any criminal history. So they should know upfront. But it does suck for the applicants since the standards are hidden.
There's no easy answer, the Linux Desktop world is more fractured today than ever. I use and like Ubuntu, Debian 11 has had driver issues for me. I don't like RPM distros. For Ubuntu, I had to uninstall snapd and pin it to never be installed. For Firefox, I downloaded it, unpacked it and use its Help menu to update it. I don't use Chromium because Ubuntu only ships it as a snap now, I use Chrome.
> Why would you buy a laptop that you cannot install updates on without jumping though hoops?

Maybe you're buying used and you can get a great deal that just has that one drawback.
Using Gpt is more like trying to get to point a to point b, it allows you to move faster, but you still need to decide what paths and modes of transports to take. So overall it could 1.5x you
That's how I've been thinking/talking about it. It should be a drop-in replacement for Postgres. Obviously the install process isn't as smooth yet, but, technical preview...

> Ted Chiang, ChatGPT Is a Blurry JPEG of the Web

I found an interesting counter perspective on the Mindscape podcast[0]:

And Ted Chiang, in that article, suggests that ChatGPT and language models generally can be thought of as a kind of blurry jpeg of the web, where they get trained to compress the web and then at inference time, when you're generating a text with these models, it's a form of lossy decompression that involves interpolation in the same way. And I think it's a very interesting test case for intuitions because I think this metaphor, this analogy, parts of it are pumping the right intuitions.

There is definitely a deep connection between machine learning and compression that has long been observed and studied. [...] I think comparing it to lossy image decompression is pumping the wrong intuitions because, again, that suggests that all it's doing is this kind of shallow interpolation that amounts to a form of approximate memorization where you have memorized some parts of the data and then you are loosely interpolating what's in between.

[...] the intuition is that there would be a way, presumably, to characterize what large language models and image generation models are doing when they generate images and texts as involving a form of interpolation but this form of interpolation would be very very different from what we might think of when we think of nearest neighbour pixel interpolation in lossy image decompression. So different, in fact, that this analogy is very unhelpful to understand what generative models are doing because, again, instead of being analogous to brute force memorization, there's something much more generally novel and generative about the process of inference in these models.

Same. Just moved to Fedora about 6 months ago and have pleasantly surprised. Works better on my laptop as well.

> Nostalgic for VB?

No. I actually liked VB when I was a teenager. It was very easy and (using ms parlance at the time) quick to develop small applications. For me it was not much more from a mere toy. I know some people used it for serious purposes, but I'm sure many of these uses were makeshift prototypes that eventually nobody had the time or money to rewrite. I don't think many serious and popular apps were written in VB and were maintained for a long time. I don't think it was adequate for that purpose and I don't know anyone who thought it was.
you are right, brainfart ;)
It's not an abomination to eat natural food. Any carnivore/omnivore would eat a cow if it could.

The fact that you perceive something natural as an abomination is a symptom of a society that's too successful and needs to invent problems where there are none.
Turns out if you go looking, you can find lots of things that look the same. Who knew. That's how subsets work.
No idea but people in fact do that.
Also in terms of impact, the money and guns the European slave buyers brought to the table completely changed the slave trade. It went from the sort of low key slave markets that existed everywhere, to arming and bankrolling civil war in the interior of the continent just to produce slaves as spoils of war to be sold at these markets. It completely destroyed inner Africa, creating conditions of warlords and ethnic strife that still exist today.
I read their PDF (well, skimmed through). That's why I wrote what I wrote
I don't get nausea, but even without that I hate the experience of actually wearing the things. I find I get a lot of eye strain that prevents me from playing long sessions, the weight/bulk is uncomfortable, and it can get quite hot wearing a headset for any length of time. I think almost everybody will find VR goggles uncomfortable in SOME way.

These things are fun to mess around with, but I think very few people will ever want to wear goggles like this for more than an hour or so at a time, which inherently limits their appeal and potential applications. My widescreen monitor has none of these issues and it's plenty "good enough" for most games.
> they have a higher risk of breaking due to incompatibilities (kernel interface for your graphics driver changed, configuration file syntax for your font renderer changed, etc.)

Simply don't vendor glibc and graphics drivers and you will be fine. Vendoring drivers doesn't make sense anyway as your application will be obsolete by the next HW cycle.

I configured my laptop to suspend on lid close. One day it didn't and overheated itself so badly it permanently damaged the screen.
Very cool! Was there anything additional you had to do in the network stack to preserve active TCP connections? Being able to do a live migration without dropping connections is fantastic!
It reminds me of things that are not superficial though, for example the homogenization of universities. Top schools all now mostly fall in line with "peer institutions", whereas you used to find schools that catered at least somewhat to different educational philosophies and personalities - which I think made for a richer academic discourse.

Places like Stanford and MIT slowly become more Harvard every year IMO, and it sucks for student life too. Driving forces may not be exactly the same, but I think there are cultural undertones pervasive across these changes and some of the more superficial ones. It reminded me of this article: https://johnhcochrane.blogspot.com/2022/12/stanford-hates-fu...

Anecdotally, I think it affects science too. Grants become increasingly formulaic, and anything deviating even slightly intellectually only has a chance as a token "high risk" project. People are afraid of saying something wrong that also clashes with current scientific norms, so everything seems so damn homogenous despite the many questions we still have little answer for.

I think the "optimization" process that got us here is bad in part because it is optimizing for a single institution style that independently will do fine, and is thus a safe play for any decent university. However that is not the same as the set of institutions that would collectively do the best, not even close IMO. Homogenization can be efficient and should happen to some degree within an institution. But between institution diversity is already bad and continuing to die off year over year.

This is alarming to me and I think there is something to the aesthetics that go with it. People's behavior can absolutely be impacted by the broader cultural vibe that pervades. Signaling is important too - when you go to visit MIT and see the dingy af student center it is part of the model you build about what the school cares about. Selecting a specific type of student body is much easier when it goes both ways, because good luck assessing someone's motivations on a modern college app. When surface-level marketing becomes homogenous across the board it is going to have downstream impacts.
The 500E is a retrofit of an ICE, not a ground-up EV. All you can derive from that comparison is that retrofitting is inefficient.

I've been using the EICAR test vector at work for years and spent a fair amount of the 80s coding x86 assembly and didn't even notice the two were related. Thx for this link!
I agree, and one can say “but videogames” however that doesn’t seem to be what any of this is reaching for. People play “realistic” videogames, which has an element of reality in creating a 3D world, but it tries to tell a story that one can escape into away from our everyday lives. Instead the point for the Zuckerberg metaverse is in mirroring reality but with even more control given to the corporate machine to feed you ads and convince you to buy more things. Who wants a hyperreality built by advertisers? That sounds like hell.
