We've had this conversation before.

Nothing's ever happened to me, and I've been doing it for years. Yes, they could come after you. If you're worried about that, feel free to keep getting fleeced.

I was referring to you.
That’s what I have been up to as well. I just think we’re so traumatized from the past 15 years of software engineering (kidding) that we’re stuck thinking “hey, let’s add memcached, that solved many problems like this before!”

Natural language is weird. It’s linear in the sense that you can’t take back what you said.

However, subjects and verbs and parentheticals and objects are like electron clouds. We only know statistically where it’s going to be. And damn, you’re reading this now, somehow, anyway.

Seems like the transformer model really is a new technology. But it’s just that we can actually run useful NLP neural networks now, which has opened the floodgate of innovation in various subfields.

(Personally bothers me because absolutely no one took it seriously when I was starting my career!

Lol. I had a meeting with my AI professor where they told me ANN’s were nonsense even if we had computers 1000x more powerful. Prune the search tree! That was not very long ago).
This thread and the comments here don't make it clear how extreme the Irish law is. If you're found in possession of anything deemed hate speech, you are legally presumed to be guilty unless you can prove you are using it for law enforcement or academic purposes. Possession is punishable by up to 2 years imprisonment.

It's an enormous amount of power that could allow the government to target literally anyone - if you look hard enough, many texts could be read as hate speech in this law (for example, the Bible advocates genocide against certain ethnic groups).

I think the earlier post is considering capitalism as "more productive" than acquiring riches and resources the old fashioned way: killing your neighbors or cousins and taking their stuff.
It has nothing to do with being a "Linux user" and everything to do with being an LTS OS user. Not being bowled over by rewrite-the-world changes is why rolling release distros exist.

And before anyone says it, no "rolling release" doesn't mean "unstable".
It could also have been about time perception changing whilst on ketamine (its slang name in DK is hest, after its reputation as a horse tranquilliser).
I'm going to rub my crystal ball and make some predictions:

- They'll demo it. It'll be unimpressive, a failed attempt at catching up.

- Nonetheless, they'll talk it up to save their share price from tanking.

- Nobody from the general public will be allowed to use it, just like Imagen.

- They'll eventually integrate it into their own products, enabling a dystopian future where every G-Mail message is read by an AI to serve more specific ads.
100ft of rg-316 weighs a pound.

100ft of rg-213 weights 10 pounds.

Given their longest cable from the article is 33ft, that's several pounds saved! This is pretty meaningful considered many SOTA operators are the type who measure their entire field radio setup in ounces. The author doesn't seem that extreme, but they still pack pretty light. Here's a couple pictures of them out in the field. rg-213 would not fit in that pack.

Could you elaborate on what this conversation adds? When I said "works", what I should have said is "exists in a sustainable way that benefits the regular citizen". I would consider cartels and monopolies and similar to be capitalism "not working" - that is "bringing about harm to those under it".

The assumptions we're taught in grade school about how capitalism breeds competition and competition means the customer wins only work when capitalism has reins on it to stop it from becoming a bunch of monopolies so that there can still be competition.
Yeah, hybrid laptops with Nvidia is still a no no. Currently I have setup: Arch (EndeavourOS) + KDE Plasma + Xorg, works with minor issues, with a Rog Zephyrus G15, with minor issues; it was/is enough to replace Windows entirely.

I'll try Wayland again this next semester, see if anything has changed.
A similar project is Mosaic.

It's exactly the same concept, but for Jetpack Compose, the primary toolkit used in modern Android apps.

You can use it in desktop JVM apps written in Kotlin.

Wayland works pretty well, much better in some ways and not quite as well in others. I use Wayland on my desktop simply because it works better and the experience is more janky under X.

if you don't optimize for size, more things get inlined. LTO creates more inlining opportunities, so plain LTO will increase your binary size. A complicating factor is small functions often inline smaller than leaving them outlined, since you no longer need call and return infrastructure.

"Infinite" is a technical term with a highly specific meaning.

In this case, it can't possibly be approached. It certainly can't be attained.

Borges' Library of Babel, which represents all possible combinations of letters that can fit into a 400-page book, only contains some 25^1312000 books. And the overwhelming majority of its books are full of gibberish. The amount of "knowledge" that a LLM can learn or describe is VERY strictly bounded and strictly finite. (This is perhaps its defining characteristic.)

I know this is pedantic, but I am a philosopher of mathematics and this is a matter that's rather important to me.
> A new report from NBC News shows that OpenAI, the startup behind ChatGPT, has been paying droves of U.S. contractors to assist it with the necessary task of data labelling—the process of training ChatGPT’s software to better respond to user requests. The compensation for this pivotal task? A scintillating $15 per hour.

> In the case of OpenAI’s mod’s, the data labellers receive no benefits and are paid little more than what amounts to minimum wage in some states. Savreux is based in Kansas City, where the minimum wage is $7.25.

Clever wordsmithing. "Scintillating"?

"Truly a Dickensian tale of woe: the suffering knowledge worker eking out his meager existence, clicking a tiny button to sort text into bins for seeming-endless hours whilst earning the paltry wage of $15/hr-- a sum no less than twice the regional minimum wage, and ill-suited to address the medical needs inflicted upon him by the laborious demands of the overseers."

This isn't skilled labor. McDonald's employees earn less, work more, and suffer regular injury.
Weren't those binaries only in the alt.* hierarchy though? There were plenty of servers that decided not to carry alt.*.
That is an interesting take, but we :

a) do not want to jeopardize zero telemetry nature of the browser

b) we hear a lot from users who miss "just one thing" for Orion to be perfect

c) no amount of telemetry would tell us why someone does not like the browser
arêter is a common verb in French that means to stop. It is a cognate of to arrest.

The ê before the t is evidence betraying the disappearance of a historic s, which is still present in English cognates:

hôpital -> hospital

forêt -> forest

The word arête means edge, similar to bord.

Not every bord is an arête; only some protruding ridge or sharp edge. It seems to be used for geological ridges, like mountain crests and such, but evidently it can also refer to the blade of a knife or sharp too or such.

It's a bit orthogonal to monopolies being broken up by the government; but, yes, another danger to sustaining the healthy competition that capitalism promises to us lay people is regulatory capture, where small players are literally unable to enter into the fight.

The specific tools to break down monopolies are, I presume, different from the tools that would be used to permit future companies to compete with established companies in danger of becoming a cartel or monopoly.
Fedora defaulted to Wayland quite a while ago. But Fedora doesn’t necessarily always follow Red Hat. RHEL deprecated and removed btrfs support, while Fedora now uses it by default.

Depends on your use case, I've been using it for years now and am yet to run in to missing features. There are a few features x11 is missing like different dpi scales between monitors which Wayland does. Sandboxing with flatpak is another big one as well.

It depends on how hard your water is, but if it's very hard and the RO system gets lots of use, you need a softener or anti-scalant injector that injects a small amount of chemical which prevents scale buildup.

If you don't do this and have particularly hard water the membranes foul pretty rapidly.

In the case of undersink systems pumping out two gallons or so a day from standard municipal water, it's probably less important.

I only know this because I've been playing with osmosis systems for a few years and have built one that does around 150 gallons a day from undersink system parts with 2 membranes, some filters and pumps for my garden (otherwise my water is simply too hard to grow all the things I want to grow).
That isn't a Wayland-level feature, but individual compositors may support it. For example that can be done in sway with `swaymsg -t subscribe -m '["window"]' | ...`
I’ve read lots about stakeholder capitalism. It’s a bunch of nonsense.

If management is beholden to a bunch of competing groups, then in any given situation they can do whatever they want and justify it by saying “well yeah the shareholders (or whoever) don’t like it, but this is what we need to do for the sake of the employees (or whoever).”

I’d rather have the shareholders in charge than unaccountable management doing whatever they feel like.
Tried a couple terms mentioned in the document w/ Bing GPT chat, and it gives really good answer, almost identical to this web page.

I'm not entirely sure, but I'm under the impression that my tumbleweed installation lost X11 months ago and is Wayland only now.
It depends. Some people classify it as 6 tones, some as 9. The extra three are "entering <x> level tone", which are sort of shortened versions of a different tone.

So: some words end in a stop, which is sometimes counted as a different tone even though the pitch pattern isn't different. For example, consider fan versus fat.

I've never been able to memorize rsync's syntax such that it handles directory contents the way I want to. If I want to copy the contents of directory foo to directory bar, with cp it's easy:

cp -r foo/* bar

With rsync, I never know what to type:

rsync -a foo bar
rsync -a foo/* bar
rsync -a foo/ bar/
rsync -a foo bar/
rsync -a foo/* bar/

I never quite know. Whatever I do, I always seem to end up with bar/foo/<stuff> until I trial and error my way to the right syntax.
> They tried that with Lightning. Micro USB won because it was cheap.

Lightning was definitely not a new standard everyone can agree to. Apple was not letting anyone else make lightning ports.

> Apple are USB-C contributors.

What do I even say to this. The "contribute to USB" has an implied "and use the port you contributed to". Apple failed the second half of that.
One of my favorite moments at Oracle was when we were on a business trip and had to get ready at 6:00 am (don't ask why). I said, "Ah, the rosy-fingered dawn!" and one guy actually got the reference.

Motion blur is fine when done right.

Fortnite, for example, does it right. I remember watching a character dance and thinking "This is so god damn smooth, why does it look so smooth?" and then I noticed the motion blur. When done right, it's subtle and you don't even notice it unless you're looking for it.
Yes and no. Cantonese has 9 tone categories that have 6 distinct tone contours. The 3 additional tones fall under the checked tone category (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checked_tone) for historical purposes, but their realized pronunciations coincide with the tone contours of 3 of the other 6 tones, so for most practical purposes, many sources describe Cantonese as having 6 tones.

I have an old Quora answer here that goes into more detail: https://qr.ae/pyNupi
Obviously they are talking about a server case. No one would do it for the desktop where XWayland is still a major dependency.

One thing where it can be useful on the server though is clipboard forwarding. What is the alternative in the end to end Wayland use case?

Not a term, but I’ve always found the fact that AG had two terms that map to nothing, e.g. my two favorite sayings: “toi sophoi xenon ouden” (the wise man is foreign to nothing) and “meden agan” (nothing in excess), one of the three Delphic Maxims: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphic_maxims
Except aren't slime molds on the extreme end of inefficiency, seeing how they solve problems by physically exploring the problem space? Being able to map the environment remotely, via senses like sight and hearing, and being able to solve problems computationally, "in mind space", are huge efficiency wins.
Barrier, the Synergy replacement.

Apparently Wayland's architecture makes it an actual hard problem. It's the one tool I rely on daily that is stopping me from trying Wayland.
xbanish, xcape, xdotool, find-cursor, xclip, dmenu, my somewhat specific hacked-up version of dwm, various specific configurations in X.

Some of these have alternatives that work the way I want, some don't. In either case I will have to spend time replicating the environment I've been happy with for many years by finding and configuring existing tools or by writing my own, all for no concrete benefit.

Eventually I'll have to bite the bullet I suppose, but Xorg works well today and I expect it will continue to work well for quite a few more years. As long as it's not needed, I'd rather spend my time elsewhere.
Ah! Thanks, got it!
Perhaps use zssh and sz/rz to send files. Much more convenient anyway as it allows you to switch and send files during an interactive session.

I don’t think this is pedantic. Words carry a specific meaning or what’s the point of words otherwise.

It really is a shame that the community's last, best hope against a Red Hat monopoly is Ubuntu.

Fortunately in the desktop space there's little reason to care what the big names are doing. There will likely always be a distro out there that does exactly what you want it to, it'll likely always be Gentoo, and there will probably be enough folks interested in the space to bring those solutions to binary distros as well.

It's been especially interesting to me to watch Alpine take over the mindshare that Slackware had back in the day. As long as there's enough people on un-"official" distros to file bug reports with software vendors, there's hope for the users.

> Wow, not even Debian has done this. What a world in which RHEL is more adventurous than Debian.

Adventurous is adding things. Why remove things that work if some people are using them? Debian is less prescriptive than RHEL, and is widely used as the basis for a vast array of different targets. If there are still reasons for people to use Xorg, there are still reasons to have it in Debian, IMO. That doesn’t mean it will be installed and/or used by default.

RHEL is a specific type of target, particularly for things that need some sort of vendor certification, or for fleets who want to depend on RH for LTS and/or use their professional services, use it as part of a larger IBM contract, etc..

Interestingly, thesaurus.com lists arete as an English word that is a synonym for excellence. But when you look up that word, it gives crag and crest as synonyms.

This is because it's stripping the circumflex accent somewhere. English dictionaries list arête.

According to good old etymonline.com (thank you, Douglas!) the unaccented form exists in English, as well as the separate word of Greek origin:

https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=arete

A similar situation exists with the word parity which has two entirely different meanings: "number of pregnancies" (where the word shares etymology with parent and parentage) or equal status, from Latin paritas.

This ultimately traces back to a homonym in Proto Indo-European:

https://www.etymonline.com/word/*pere-

The number-of-pregancies parity traces back to (1) and "even parity; reaching parity" to (2).

One parity traces back

> It is important to bear in mind what I said above: that Burnham's theory is only a variant — an American variant, and interesting because of its comprehensiveness — of the power worship now so prevalent among intellectuals. A more normal variant, at any rate in England, is Communism. If one examines the people who, having some idea of what the Russian régime is like, are strongly russophile, one finds that, on the whole, they belong to the ‘managerial’ class of which Burnham writes. That is, they are not managers in the narrow sense, but scientists, technicians, teachers, journalists, broadcasters, bureaucrats, professional politicians: in general, middling people who feel themselves cramped by a system that is still partly aristocratic, and are hungry for more power and more prestige. These people look towards the USSR and see in it, or think they see, a system which eliminates the upper class, keeps the working class in its place, and hands unlimited power to people very similar to themselves. It was only after the Soviet régime became unmistakably totalitarian that English intellectuals, in large numbers, began to show an interest in it. Burnham, although the English russophile intelligentsia would repudiate him, is really voicing their secret wish: the wish to destroy the old, equalitarian version of Socialism and usher in a hierarchical society where the intellectual can at last get his hands on the whip. Burnham at least has the honesty to say that Socialism isn't coming; the others merely say that Socialism is coming, and then give the word ‘Socialism’ a new meaning which makes nonsense of the old one. But his theory, for all its appearance of objectivity, is the rationalisation of a wish. There is no strong reason for thinking that it tells us anything about the future, except perhaps the immediate future. It merely tells us what kind of world the ‘managerial’ class themselves, or at least the more conscious and ambitious members of the class, would like to live in.

Orwell certainly didn't pull any punches.
