To a certain degree is isn't fashion; it's optimisation.

Of course cars are going to look mostly the same. If you change anything too much (e.g. cybertruck) you're just straying from a highly optimised design.

Look at bicycles. Before the invention of the safety bike there were lots of different designs. But the safety bike is such a good design you can't really get away with it.

Or phones. Everyone complains about glass rectangles and where are the sliders and flip phones? They don't exist anymore because the glass rectangle is such a good design.
Sounds like a great way to make all the EVs travel at a walking pace, as people just walk along the roads that they cannot afford to drive on.
Your last paragraph is basically assumption of guilt. I don’t think you can make the claim that they are just saying no to the shady ones without more data. Especially since they say yes to plenty of shady things

It seems a lot more likely to me they were threatened by regulators or scared of what they would do, and created blanket policies about new clients or what they would attest to as a result than “we are doing diligence on tons of crypto firms that want us as clients and just saying no after we discover they are shady”

>You don’t learn programming language for the sake of it

Some of us do

>Nobody cares about the language anymore

Only kinda. Yes, strictly speaking, the "language doesn't matter" (only the frameworks and APIs do). But practically speaking, if you're in a room of Python programmers, and you're the lone weirdo trying to write in VB6 (or vice versa) ... you're gonna run into issues :)
By "dangerous" he means the one he tried to call a failure previously and "only I can fix it," right?
Cognac is literally the name of a region. As is Champagne. It misleads the public when Moldovan Cognac is being sold as Cognac. Cognac is a subset of brandy anyway. Champagne is a subset of sparkling wine. And Port is named for the town in Portugal Oporto and is a subset of fortified wine. If the Moldovan spirits industry has a superior product, why can’t they call it a relevant name that protects the integrity of their creation?

I a definitely interested in trying Moldovan beverages now though!
he comes to the right conclusion but his reasoning is poor
Thanks. Will fix that.
My gut refuses to believe it, but my brain understands that this is probably a lot like cheese -- blue cheese in particular. If you've only had fresh milk, letting it curdle and mold before eating it would probably be unthinkable. Same for fresh cabbage vs. kimchi or sauerkraut.
Germans also did elect Hitler's party as a majority in the last couple of elections before he assumed power. That's not the point.

The point is that some stakeholders of the political class worked on hollowing out the Italian political system for 2-3 decades. And corruption is an issue in economical growth.
I think it should remove both - Flatpack and Snap. Stick to apt, improve it if you wish.

">This adds fuel to the fire that Canonical is doing this largely to further its own interests."

10x is a mindset, identifying real problems and solving them in a simple* way with novel solutions.

It's not a skill you can grind per se, although many try that fruitless path.
In broad strokes, I see roughly two ways things could go:

1) Current AI tech is already nearing the top of the S-curve. In this case it will do nothing to help humans in the "real world", it will just replace much of the human labor currently used to create/manipulate bits.

2) Current AI tech is near the bottom of the S-curve. It continues to ratchet up and its capabilities become super-human, as you outline. In which case, how long until the AI capable of creating self-replicating machines realizes it doesn't need to listen to humans anymore, or even keep them around?
I'll just respond to a couple of these:

1. I don't know if any of the major browsers do this, but one could imagine an implementation of that message passing, between threads or processes on the local machine, that has much lower overhead than deserializing from JSON.

6. If we assume that non-trivial web frontend projects these days always have a build step, then it doesn't matter; TypeScript compilation can be included in that build step.
Same here. I used to use it coz it was one of the better debugged distributions that "just worked" and I didn't want to futz with deep config files like I would with arch or gentoo or deal with some confusing "nonfree" workarounds like with Debian.

These days it's looking like Fedora holds that crown.
That is quite a sweeping theory. Do you have any systemic, large-scale, non-anecdotal evidence to support it?
> It's obvious that at most in our very recent evolutionary history we had far higher tolerance to spoilage.

I wonder what effect that’s had on a humans immune system. I’d imagine eating spoiled meat containing bacteria, etc was giving their immune system a run for its money until a tolerance was built.

>> There is no such thing as a "standard" .deb or .rpm. Unless you're statically linking against distro policy they have dependencies on the particular version of the distribution they are built for.

If you're using a "Debian based" distribution, the "standard" .deb is the one shipping with Debian. If it doesn't work on the derivative distro, they are doing something wrong. Or like I said, maybe the dependencies are doing something wrong.
Yes, exactly. And there is no indication of wether it actually cycles through or is generating at random. So I wasn’t even sure I could get it back. It’s small stuff though.
I'm using tailwind in one of my projects. As a normally backend dev, I find tailwind rather weird. It seems very much like it just gives you classes for every css property&value match. It seems very much like I'm just writing the css but in a different way. cursor-pointer class for "cursor: pointer" for example.

However, I find the responsiveness side of things very useful.
I dont use docker anymore (podman ftw) but that is unfair criticism of docker.

You can use any container registry (including self hosted) with docker and it will work. Last I checked, you cannot use any other repo at all with snap without recompling it to add support for your snap repo.

Completely agree. There are databases like this out there (All-Payer-Claims database) but they're extremely expensive (it would cost millions to get data for the entire US) and I have no idea why.
History has shown that application developers are very bad at releasing good deliverable without too much security holes in the packaged libraries or bad practices. And the sandboxing in flatpak is actually meant to protect users from harm done by clueless devs but it fails because devs can actually build non sandboxed flatpaks and they will do it because they don't care
I probably spend under £100 a year maintaining my 25-year-old Range Rover.

Again, super simple engine, massively overengineered drivetrain, cheap and plentiful bits. Plus running it on propane makes it a lot cheaper and cleaner!
One factor I am suprised no one seems to be mentioning is taste. In the absence of quality tests for how well lab-grown meat serves as a nutritional substitute, I would think taste would be a good metric. Perhaps even better than tests, since nutritional science still contains a lot of unknowns.

Taste is also serves as a good metric, because it supports human happiness and enjoyment. A big factor.

You can do the exact same thing with CSS. It does not matter if the code is added to HTML or CSS.

And for me, at least, this is not a spiritual debate. On the contrary, this is a very practical debate. The popularity of the tool and the signal it conveys absolutely has consequences on all of the development community. Whether I like Tailwind or not, I have to maintain projects that were done with it, I get asked about it, etc.

I think that saying "it's just a tool" is kind of short-sighted. It's a paradigm. And as such, its practical implications are far reaching.
And bottle everything up in a company that will then want to charge massive rents for it. This is a transformative tool in a lot of industries. Given half a chance, Musk and his types would have patented fire.

They're not, though. They make cheap plasticky ugly cars with an interior fit and finish on a par with 1990s Eastern Bloc cars, and expect you to somehow cope with a massive touchscreen while trying to drive, and then charge "proper car" prices.

While i don't go out of my way to use them, i've never, ever encountered any of the problems stated by others. And I'm not being selective with my devices at all (Asus laptops, hp minipc).

I really wonder how i can have such a different experience to theirs apart from really esoteric parts/apps. Not saying it's not happening.

While i'd prefer just using apt, they let me work without being a pain so i don't really care.
I used to think that the convergence of similar branding (logos, colors, etc) was the product of corporations hiring the same marketing consultants, but the part about the instagram aesthetic blew my mind. Looking through my wife's feed, a lot of women post pics in similar clothes, in similar poses, in similar locations, doing similar activities.

We're dumb heard animals, apparently.
I started using a snap to run Emacs 28 on my Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS system. The snap is maintained by a Canonical employee, and I like it better than any of the other ways I have used to get more bleeding-edge versions of software in the past, such as using a random Personal Package Archive (PPA) or building from source myself.

Would I rather have the deb package be up-to-date? Sure. But when I've used distributions that try to stick closer to the bleeding edge everywhere, I've had bad experiences with stuff breaking. This lets me keep a stable, well-tested distribution for everything except for the one package I want to be newer.

I can't compare to Flatpak or AppImage because I've never used them.
That's not true. In the 1700s and 1800s peasants across the world dressed differently. There was local conformity, certainly, but global diversity.

There's something insidious that is happening, so slow we are not recognizing it (centuries now). It is that man is fully submitting to the machine. We are adapting, not just in what we buy (cause we've been nothing but consumers), but in how we comport ourselves in our relations to others. We are internalizing the value system of the machine on a global scale.
We'll have to "get stuck on" definitions of intelligence if we want to talk precisely about what LLMs are capable of.
It might be best to speak with an Attorney who handles auto accidents in your state before signing the release. Depending on the State, who lives with the at-fault person/party, there can be additional coverage above the policy limits. The attorney that represents you can likely investigate or determine. If there is additional coverage, then you will want to determine future medical (surgery, meds, care) as well as non-medical items costs to help pay for future care. A life care plan can help with that also, see https://www.iclcp.com/life-care-plans

Which is exactly why Europe delocalised a lot of industries in the first place and is now mostly stuck with services, tourism and tech.

This seems false, if there is uninterrupted farmland for hours, regardless of what % EU farms employed?
That depends. If you live in Iowa, or Kansas there is a high chance your EV is charged entirely from wind power. Both states are exporting to other nearby states (which are also building more wind). Texas also has a lot of wind generation (more than the above two combined), but their population is larger so overall it comes out to less. CA has a lot of solar power (more deserts should), though I'm not sure how much.

However if you live in other states you may find that roadblocks have been put in place and so your power has to come from non-renewables. Make no mistake, the limit is more legal than practical these days, renewables can easily be most of your power mix, and are already the cheapest source of power.
This is another one of those cases that seems to be completely nullified by keeping JS off by default and whitelisting it only on sites you really trust.

Yes it's somewhat disheartening for those raised on illusions of our scientific supremacy to discover that we understand very little about the human body or how to correct its defects or failures. The illusion is quickly punctured once you start having any medical problems. The vast majority of the time the answer is "we don't know what it is, but it will probably get better on its own" or "we know what it is, but it's not going to get better and there's nothing we can do about it."

Italians recognize that food is just as much about taste, enjoyment and life satisfaction than it is about nutrition.

Can't stand Snap, Flatpak and AppImage. They're the Nodejs of the software distribution world - a horrendously inefficient way to distribute software. DEBs and RPMs via APT and DNF are far better, imho.
The problem with a general-purpose fuzzer is that the H.264 format is complex - you'd end up with a lot of syntactically-incorrect files (which decoders would easily reject) whereas H26Forge is a specialized fuzzer that ends up with syntactically-correct but semantically-incorrect files, and that's how it finds actual vulns before the heat death of the universe.

Re Rust: the problem here is hardware-acceleration, as far as I can tell. Even if we had a pure Rust H.264 decoder, you'd probably still want to use whatever your hardware has to use overall fewer resources. The drivers might be the place to look, and there's some progress on that front in Android for example, but as things stand fuzzing like that is extremely valuable.

The traditional use is targeted advertising: companies will go to absurd lengths (sentiment analysis of emails) to do that. OpenAI probably isn't doing that (yet), but that's not the point. If I tried to count the number of times a corporation "wouldn't do that" (by my own estimation!) and yet did, I would run out of fingers.

If you're putting in hypotheticals to get advice you can relate to your own situation, that's a different matter entirely.
