I've run into a pretty ridiculous Chrome bug:

let f = document.createDocumentFragment();
f.appendChild(document.createElement("div"));
f.firstChild.outerHTML = (`<a href="https://bugs.chromium.org/"></a>`);

Fails because a fragment "is not an element node", a completely bogus error. No idea if it fails in Safari, too, since I don't have a Mac anymore, but I'd guess so, since this reeks of the type of corner-cutting that WebKit was guilty of while swimming in accolades for being a fast, standards-compliant browser engine (in contrast to e.g. Gecko).
Google has infinite money... and landing the deal is a great way to get promoted.
This exactly. For most small non-profs, basic IT upkeep - i.e. cleaning adware, patching vulns, getting backups set up and tested - is going to be so much useful than occasional airdropped code with no regular/timely maintenance plan
Obviously "requesting" is a much better word.
However, the gist of my comment was they are trying really hard to sell the idea that their membership is beneficial to NATO (which I believe it most definitely is not).
I think also as the range of stuff the Mac does continues to contract (less software as legacy was dumped for 32 bit, no boot camp, shrinking gaming) the applications that need significant power continue to shrink.

There's really not much that still runs on a Mac that needs more than the base Air. Some more RAM would be nice, but unless you're a high end video editor the use case of higher powered Macs for the price differential seems pretty small.
>But even if we constrain ourselves to one entrance, one exit mazes with a single solution path you can trivially construct a maze inside a large room without connecting it to the walls. Thus creating a third piece to the maze.

I would be intrigued to see that "trivial" solution - how do you prevent there being two routes (and thus solutions) around the third piece without connecting it to the wall?
Digital Candle is a great service for providing free tech advice to charities:
https://www.digitalcandle.org.uk/

You can sign up for a one hour call with a charity which has a problem/needs advice. There's no committment after that but you can get more involved with that charity if you like/it's appropriate

I've volunteered with it a few times, all felt productive/ hopefully helpful to the charities involved
Not so much people asking to be given goods they cannot afford as it is pointing out the business implications of designing / selling devices that people cannot afford.
My thought was it read exactly like "Guns don't kill people, people who squeeze the trigger kill people." Technically right in a specific context but completely misses the point.
I recognize your journey. Most of my GitHub work has gone stale and although I didn't say goodbye, most of my work is now on GitLab where it receives more love and care and where I am certain I could always move to a self hosted instance if GitLab decided to go in a direction that doesn't match my philosophy. GitHub has been an interesting ride, a place where I landed after sourceforge and codeplex went upside down. I felt at home until I didn't. Thank you GitHub for the great things we achieved.
Almost exactly 2 years ago, I bought an M1 Air for €1050. That same M1 Air is still being sold by that same store, but now costs €1126. That's a 7% rise in price for a laptop that's now 2,5 years old. This is just ridiculous.
This is the one that is most scary to me as a user of software. Have the AI write some of the code, sure. But tests have to be correct. Autogenerating a mountain of mostly-correct tests strikes me as a great way of ending up with surprising behavior that is a nightmare to untangle.
Sounds like a great idea! What sort of questions did you ask during the interview?
I agree.

My belief is that in order to communicate my intuition about this it helps to provide discrete steps which explain the transition.
"This story was produced with the assistance of Bloomberg Automation."
I'm not. The kinds of things that people say that you are probably thinking of when you make a criticism like in your original post absolutely are real and deserve your criticism (in fact, I'd put jrm4's tone in that category!) - but over-applying that criticism does harm to a position that is justified in other contexts. Remember, when you see somebody (e.g. maybe a writer or fan for a show...) make a criticism of a group you are a member of, they are sometimes referring to something truly deserving of criticism. Always try to keep your criticisms as focused as possible in turn, to avoid the vicious cycle of political/social hatred (especially in the context of fictional media, where it produces a tone that is particularly obnoxious/petty).

Different era, but back in the 90s, guys like Ric Flair or Mick Foley were almost superhuman in terms of stamina or the bumps they were able to take and still continue.
I would love to hear more macOS users admit that their equipment was a status indicator, overpriced for what it is.

I’m sure apple is excited about cultivating this brand identity. If there is one way I can think that they could get away from the “Sony” or Nike model, it’s being seen as a luxury item, a tool of the select few, instead of just a high quality brand, that yes, might be a little more expensive.

-- Just adding a bit that I'd prefer to be less sarcastic than I was in this comment: My point is that I like the Mac brand better as an bit more costly, but upscale, quality tool than a "luxury". Luxury implies that it is impractically expensive (which I think is what is being argued) Maybe it was just the choice of that word.

I'm not sure they even really view themselves as prosumer, but it is a fine line.
It’s the tech equivalent of “guns don’t kill people, people do” argument. Pretty inane.

This stuff is going to nuke thousands of knowledge workers, either directly or via services. Is that a bad thing for society? Sure. Does that matter, no.
I've been using it for about 12 years now.

It was much rougher in the early days, as there were massive fundamental changes - adopting systemd, /lib becoming symlinks, etc.

But now I wouldn't use anything else. I have my configurations synced with a Gitlab repo via chezmoi, and have a bootable customised USB stick built with ALMA - so I can easily set up the same system on different machines. In that time I've used different set-ups - dwm on an 11" netbook (could only have one app per workspace and they had to be full-screen), xmonad and awesome-wm for a bit, and now i3.

One issue to note on the Steam Deck though is that it's immutable by default. So atm to install the xone drivers for example, you have to enable system mutability and reinstall them after every system update.

But it's so nice having something that is up-to-date - e.g. for kernel hardware support, bug fixes, etc. but also won't change much unless you want it to. I even use it on my work computer now since my company allows it, and it's so much better than losing hours to intrusive updates on Mac (or Windows).
This article we're discussing says they halted M2 chip production. Running factories empty is a huge opportunity cost. So who's to say this approach of maintaining high profit margins is the correct medium-term outcome for their shareholders?

There is nothing wrong about arguing if all the parties are interested in truth. Discourse is a backbone of free people.

In my perspective, there is no doubt about japanese government stance on the matters in Ukraine. And any other non-totalitarian society. I am ready being convinced otherwise.
I wonder if it could be bot farms ramping up or shutting down. The numbers do seem too high for that tho.
Heck, you could probably create parking zones (with signs/paint/etc) and most people would use them. Part of the problem now is users don't know where to put the scooters.

You'd think common sense would dictate not across sidewalks, but humans prove time and again that common sense isn't very common.
I consider the Mac base models quite affordable for the quality and performance. But for my use I need more RAM and would prefer more storage, and these prices are absolutely beyond ridiculous.

I think the zero sum, "use AI everywhere" vs "don't use it at all" are both to be avoided. The wise path is somewhere in the middle.

On avoiding it, if your competitors are getting massive productivity gains from AI tools, your hand-crafted, artisanal code is going to be expensive and your customers will vote with their wallets.
Nothing compared to what a world of full-size EVs will produce when they start piling up on scrapheaps in more significant numbers. (Ideally we need recycling solutions for both)

But moving people around on 20kg electric scooters has got to be a lot more efficient than doing it in 2000kg electric cars.
Or try and make the Mac appealing to more markets.

Maybe there might be some acceptance that having no gaming strategy whatsoever is actually not great?
Our copyright systems are broken, and have been broken for decades at this point.

I don't think copyright should be a thing, ESPECIALLY at the current durations. It's obvious to me that reform is necessary.

Here's what I propose:

- Reduce the duration of existing copyrights to 20 years.

- Reduce the duration of new copyrights to 5 years (maybe 10).

- Provide some form of remittance for individual copyright holders which depends on the income for their living, if the 20 years is not enough.

- Require that what is copyrighted must be submitted to the Library of Congress. When the copyright expires, it is to be released to the public in full.

- Strengthen fair use protections. Make it clear that critiques, reviews, parodies, etc are covered.

- Improve takedown requests. Punish fraudulent takedowns by forcing the filer to pay any lost income to the recipient. Require the takedown requests to have specific information about where the copyright violation occurred and how it isn't fair use.

- No criminal prosecution for copyright offenses.
Is human recollection also an infringement on copyright?
> Putin intended to capture Kyiv in three days and completely failed to do that.

If you have <6mo of runway at current cash levels, your first order of business would be to cut costs to get to breakeven in the next 60-90 days. That means a target of cutting out annual costs of around $11-12M broken down to around $4M+ cost reduction within the next 60-90 days.

This could mean

- headcount reduction,
- facility lease terminations,
- redundant vendor contract terminations (eg: if you have 3 suppliers reduce to 2 asking them to bid for services or use any volume discounts to work in company's favor through the consolidation),
- shutdown any loss-making service lines (use these to guide the previous points)
- outsourcing/offshoring to leverage lower product/service-line costs,
- price increases,
- firing loss-making customers,
- techstack optimization

You can run targeted commission-based sales over the next 60-90 days that brings deals that are PAT-accretive. I am assuming sales closed this quarter starts contributing positively within the subsequent one or two quarters.

My personal advice is to focus on getting to breakeven ASAP as that gives you additional degrees of freedom for you to execute your strategy.

Good luck.
Can I play BotW on a Steam Deck legally? Not everything is as simple as "higher number better"
Author of zip.js here, the CompressionStream API is available for 3 years in Chromium-based browsers [1]. That's why I integrated it 6 months ago in zip.js. However zip.js can detect if the API is present or not, and can work if not available (e.g. in Firefox). It cannot detect implementation bugs in the API though. Note that there's also an option to disable the use of the API [2].

For a non native English speaker, LLMs are really useful to rewrite your texts in a more natural way.
This really started to bother me. How does terminal emulator speed up grepping a large file?

I made a random file with 100 000 lines and using 3 different terminals (Default Terminal, iTerm2, and Kitty) and using two different grep tools (grep and rip-grep) with and without tmux I can not see any meaningful performance difference.

Do I just not understand what terminal emulators do? How does choice of text printing matter when you run a script?

I could see a tiny performance improvement with kitty when I ran just cat on the file in a loop, but the difference was so tiny that if you want to argue that this is the performance benefit worth using kitty for I have bad news for you since the worst case with kitty was then noticeably worse than in competition.

Not sure how this all will play out. It's interesting though that many of the Luddites also kept calling out the unacceptably low quality of the textile products made using automation.
Better than 17 mentions of AI
There's this really good story called "John Henry".
I bought a used (but good condition) Switch Lite a few weeks ago for £105, and the new-in-box retail price is £188.

The cheapest Steam Deck costs £349, which is almost double the Lite's RRP. Price matters a lot, especially when these things are often bought for kids.

I absolutely do not know what I am doing, and managed to get an Arch Linux setup working on a laptop.

It's complicated, but the Arch Linux docs are fantastic.

Didn't try gaming on it, though - I have a Steam Deck for that ;) Though I can plug in a keyboard, mouse and monitor and switch to desktop mode on the deck if I need to work, so maybe I'll just use that as my laptop now
The people I know with Switches want specific games that are exclusive to them and are only interested in buying those games legitimately.
100%. An SD card slot and a video out port are not pro features. A typical college freshman will need both of those, regardless of their discipline. In fact, my entry level, 13" MacBook Air had those a decade ago.
Exactly, 'smartness' is meaningless. You can accomplish x task with y practice, applies to any task.
It seems that the more useful way to use AI would be TDD, where you write the tests and perhaps a simple implementation, and AI makes the implementation good/fast and points out inconsistency in the tests.
Nice that you didn't quote the part directly after that:

They actually tried that in the 90s. Turns out, having performers compete who are used to making a fight with a scripted outcome look real - rather than win an open-ended fight - is a terrible idea.

While there certainly are pro-wrestlers who could legitimately win a real fight (the name Haku coming to mind; according to reports that a guy was a certified bad-ass you wouldn't have wanted to mess with), most of them likely don't really know how to block non-scripted jabs or strikes, which led to serious injuries during that event.
Technically the price did still fall in real terms. Not great, though.

It's like being a vegan knowing farms still use bees for pollination and "organic" fertilizers from animal farms, or a human rights activist who uses a smartphone. Sometimes people just want to feel good about themselves and ignore the cognitive dissonance.
Yeah, it's hard to emphasize this enough - the Deck is absolutely huge. Photos and videos do not do justice to how huge it is. It takes up as much vertical space in a backpack as a small laptop does, and (with its case) it's much thicker than a laptop. I bought one and ended up returning it because I simply couldn't see myself ever taking it out of the house.
And the average person buying a Deck is a little more technologically inclined and thinks “But the Deck does have Nintendo’s entire back catalog.”

Valve even showed off Nintendo emulators in press material “accidentally”. Basically every Steam Deck owner I know uses it as an emulation powerhouse.
> but having your IP ripped out of your own blog feels like being raped, by open-source software or not

That's most likely an irrational feeling. "Adobe AI" will most likely work just as well without including your IP in their dataset, and be able to output something in your style with the right prompt (and other knobs we'll see in the future) without ever having seen your IP.

Potentially you could even run some kind of CLIP on your image and then feed that into "Adobe AI". And I really see no reason to think something like that would ever be considered copyright infringement.

People have the idea that their IP is very meaningfully influencing these AIs, while in reality their artstyles aren't that unique.
We seem to be in violent agreement that Parisians don't care about the traffic rules.
I think the parent's point is the exact opposite of what you have argued against. The author is saying they are afraid 'robots' will come for the fun stuff, rather than only being a tool for the menial labour.

Think of the recent generative AI artwork...rather than drawing, and creating, (some/most?) artists fear just being prompt-carvers. The fun of the art has been replaced with menial labour of crafting prompts.
Pixels are IME the Android equal to iPhones. Much cleaner and nicer experience than Samsung.

> The AI has now replaced you as an artist. The software team or management simply ask the AI - "please produce me a set of fantasy character models for my game, with these characteristics". This is essentially GPT mixed with 3D midjourney.

then about 6 months in people start noticing that every game looks exactly the same
I think the difference, right now at least, is that people will go, "well, I'm not sure about this so I think we should look it up, but this is what I think" - the AI doesn't do that. It lies in the same exact way it tells truths. How are you supposed to make decisions based off of that information?
As a math teacher, this is such a funny comparison to keep reading.

Yes, there's a difference between a deterministic outcome and a non-deterministic one. But throw humans into the loop, and it becomes more interesting. I can't count the number of times I've listened to someone argue their answer must be right because they got it from the calculator. And it's not just students; as a teacher I've always paid attention to how adults use math.

With calculators or GPT tools, or any other automated assistant, judgement and validation continues to matter.
In most understandings of English, "and" is used as the conjunction operator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_conjunction (set intersection). If you were expressing a disjunction (a union), you'd use "or" or "as well as" or something similar. Obviously it's possible to eventually puzzle out from context what OP meant, but I made the same mistake as the person you're replying to when reading the comment quickly.
Electronics prices in the EU are simply crazy. Recently i wanted to get a small mini-PC that would be energy efficient and I could run some AI experiments on. Reading online forums, everyone's like "just get a mac mini, couple hundred bucks and you're golden". I check the apple website and turns out they actually cost almost a thousand euro for the 16GB/256GB model.

But its the same with a lot of other electronics too - people online will tell you something like "just get a raspberry for $40" but then you look at the European ebay and you're in for at least a 100 euro and that's for a used one.
Portugal was only an example. They could however find themselves pressured to send soldiers, and not only supplies, should NATO decide to openly declare war on Russia.
Every time the human supervising it makes a mistake in their role in the relationship between user and tool.

What you say is true, but I'd also add that the market for an amd64(yeah you heard me Intel)-incompatible developer machine is currently limited.

The people who can develop on ARM have moved, while a good chunk of the rest can't even if they wanted to.

That might be different in the future, but it's the reality today.
Part of the problem is that there are multiple slow "art sequences" in the film that seem to have no clear purpose and run counter to Tarkovsky's usual dislike of intentional symbolism in film. Some seem like they might have been intended as homages to other sci-fi films, especially Kubrick's 2001.
What you mean by "enforcing copyright rules on AI"? Regardless of the tool used if the code used by someone heavily copies (against your license) on your code then it's copyright infringement, the fact that the tool is an AI doesn't really change this fact. But I guess you want to expand the copyright law to consider more than just the final product (code in this case), as it would be original in the vast majority of cases.
Theres also library using Svelte and threejs(https://svelthree.dev/). Its newer but worth checking out.

Also, threejs journey is worth it. Lots of great content.
I like this perspective, despite being incredibly excited about the advancements and potential of AI.

While it kind of feels like reading tea leaves right now, I can see a time where AI-driven products prosper, lowering the bar for good ideas to come to market that may have otherwise not.

Some of those good ideas will take off; those AI-built products may not be able to keep up. Where those AI-built products can't keep up is where non-AI or post-AI (or whatever we want to term it) businesses like yours, or experts, or consultancies, can come in and help those AI-built businesses grow beyond their original constraints.

I'm personally excited by it all. It suddenly feels to me like the Wild West (positive and negative connotations included) and we're all on an adventure together.
