> Linus has some words on this matter:

I hate to point this out, but this only demonstrates Linux Torvalds doesn't know much about copyright law. Linus could just as easily say "I was wrong. Sorry! As you all know -- IANAL. It's time we remedied this stupid chapter in our history. After all, I gave similar assurances to the AFS module when it was open sourced under a GPL incompatible license in 2003."

Linus's other words on the matter[0]:

> But one gray area in particular is something like a driver that was
originally written for another operating system (ie clearly not a derived
work of Linux in origin). At exactly what point does it become a derived
work of the kernel (and thus fall under the GPL)?

> THAT is a gray area, and _that_ is the area where I personally believe
that some modules may be considered to not be derived works simply because
they weren't designed for Linux and don't depend on any special Linux
behaviour.

That is a fair criticism! It is partially (maybe 20%) mitigated by the fact that this is a different lineage of computing and so you were going to hit a huge wall somewhere and when you got it here you reached out to the community and found folks like me to help you. But 80% of the point definitely still stands, this is a big change and there is not much documentation for you.

In this lineage of computing, you do not edit text files and then run a compiler and then run your tests and then cross your fingers and ship to prod. That is, if you like, the “Frankenstein” approach, you cobble together dead body parts into a chunk of dead code and then reanimate it with a lightning bolt. And it has eaten the world so uh can't really bash it.

But another lineage is preserved in spreadsheets and smalltalks, where that general outlook is considered a little barbaric and you want to instead be surrounded by your living, breathing program, with everything available to inspect and tinker with and test and replace. You run the image and you are launched into your running program. Yeah it doesn't do anything yet, because you haven't told it what to do... but here you are, ready to mold and model the compute like clay into whatever your imagination desires. The first few pots you throw, you're lucky if they don't collapse on you.

My standard example of the mentality difference is Object.become. Imagine I tell the standard Java developer, “we search through all of memory, find all private and public variables pointing to that object, and instead point them to this object...” They will look at you like you are nuts! But that’s essentially the underlying functionality needed for “you can edit the method and the entire system will start using your new method.”

So things like versioning and inspecting and editing are generally baked into the image rather than external tools because you want to be able to debug and undo your changes in vivo ... There is going to be an impedance mismatch, and the community can certainly make it easier on you for sure but there is going to be a lot of unlearning no matter what.
They can't just hold to TSMC forever, they will eventually lose this "shield" anyhow.
Those fabs are already so expensive and even their foundations are so deep and exotic to prevent any vibration. Maybe the whole building is secretly constructed to be able to lift off at a moment's notice! Suddenly it's a fab zeppelin and it's floating through the air towards amnesty in Guam.
Though, there’s a way we can enjoy a minimal operating system yet also have security, protection, and resource management:

What a great idea!

The next step is to give each outlet a sensationalism score and then normalize their headlines according to how they usually sensationalize.
Requires closer looks too often.
Truly it was a different world. I learned so much investigating and modifying resource forks!
Unsafe lines for sure would be great to see. If you use mostly unsafe, at that point you might as well use any systems language and wouldn’t expect a CVE decrease really.

Bitwise operators are the beginners introduction to SIMD programming.

A 64 bit register doing XOR is really 64x parallel XOR happening in parallel each of size 1 bit.

A shift, rotate are just fancy movement operators and exist in the SIMD space.

Good bitwise programming IMO requires a full embrace of this parallel mindset. See the Chess Programming Wiki for all sorts of things that 64x parallel bits can represent.

In particular, a 8x8 chessboard maps well to 64 bits.

-------

No really. Do remember that one of the OG SIMD computers, the CM2 (connection machine 2) was a 1-bit core but SIMD across thousands of cores (bits). And a lot of research and understanding of modern parallel concepts comes from the Connection Machine.
Sadly, taxis were never both until Uber.

That’s neat.
Every time I look at this company's products, I realize how useless they are. And that's before considering their absurd prices.

The big selling point for this thing is supposed to be its ready accessibility and "high quality" audio, but it can't record high quality as it stands. About its gimpy built-in mic they say "OR USE THE INTERNAL MIC IN A PINCH."

Or you can buy the Zoom F3, which costs $350, is small enough to strap to your wrist, and records in float. Then you can buy a good mic (or two) and still come out way ahead of the asinine product featured here.
Don't feel too bad about it. Wealth wise, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Once you made it thru the tough time, you can always rebuild (unlike say, health).

He was probably thinking of Goto Dengo, who would have been a great investment.
Another great option is legiblenews which provides headlines from Wikipedia edits and is a bit dry but informative. I remember when Trump was president he was mentioned on legiblenews[1] a handful of times during his term while the mainstream media gyrated with his every move. It made me realize how little of the day to day news cycle has meaningful impact on the long term history of the world.

OK great thanks that's what I heard. Very interested to hear about comparisons with GPT-4.
I don't see why they cant be doing that with SDRs without capturing radios.
Isn’t coming to a news story from these specific political viewpoints already a whole lot of bias?

I don’t think we can boil down most things into three separate POV. Not everything needs to be looked at through a political party’s perspective
Oh man! Great to see a friend on front page, hey Justin! Great article
“It wasn’t a hack I was just pretending”. I guess the guy thought he had a chance in court.
Government organizations, including police departments, use software just like businesses and individuals do. When governments switch to free and open source software like Element or other Matrix clients, it adds transparency to their operations and saves taxpayer money. It makes no sense to protest Element being used by governments or police, since it is certainly better than the more costly proprietary alternatives.

Element could have done more to emphasize in their communications that they are working to provide end-to-end encrypted messaging services to government, and not to leak other users' end-to-end encrypted messages to any government. But boycotting Element or Matrix because it is also used by government or police for secure end-to-end encrypted messaging is strange logic that I can't see most people adopting.
Or rather, more analogously, a self-driving car that has a range of 10 000 miles but sometimes makes mistakes when driving vs a self-driving car with a range of 800 miles that never makes mistakes. Once you've have a taste of intelligence it's hard to give up.

However, in many applications there is a limit on how intelligent you need the LLM to be. I have found I am able to fall back to the cheaper and faster GPT-3.5 to do the grunt work of forming text blobs into structured json within a chain involving GPT-4 for higher-level functions.

Nope, the best way to learn to start your own thing is to start your own thing - I know several successful YC founders who would never join a random YC startup to be an early employee since the risk/return is so bad. A lot of YC founders are random 20 something who may not even have a network, or very often they are terrible mentors.

These same successful YC founders hired a bunch of people saying the same stuff you are saying even though they would never take that deal. It's stuff you say to the plebs (to hire them for cheap) but the social proof/networks are better at late stage startups and FAANG.
I think that content moderators often have to deal with that issue, and they are given rules like "remove posts that suggest that others commit violent acts" or something like that. And those are reasonable rules for moderators to enforce.

But the rules that this game give do not include that rule, and it's a mark of a poorly designed game that the rule says "don't allow illegal content" and then when you (correctly!) apply that rule, the game says "you should have not allowed this because it's suggesting that someone do something illegal". Those aren't the same rule!

ETA:
Like lots of places have rules against reposting copyrighted content. But a post that said "Psst, kid, you should go download a movie from the Pirate Bay" should not be removed under that rule. Because the content of the post isn't copyrighted. If they also had a rule that said "don't encourage piracy", they could reasonably take it down under that rule.
Not really, no, it's doable but not easily
> There's a whole generation of programmers that aren't interested in, and don't need, "low level" bitwise operations.

But it's worth understanding them even if you never need to use them. Much like understanding how a computer works at a low level, that kind of knowledge helps contextualize higher-level things and puts additional tools in your toolbox.
Yeah, I get it. I'm open to those YouTube referrals :-)

Thx for your help!
Well done.

There is something like this in 'A Fire Upon the Deep' by Vernor Vinge; his intergalactic societies translate their alien languages - and incompatible methods of expression - using an application similar to this one.

Very cool whenever sci-fi becomes reality!
Having used postgres for the past decade, I tried MySQL for a side project to see whats changed with it. The sad answer is that it feels like nothing has changed - Oracle seems to have let what used to be a core technology of the industry languish.

I'm sure there are use cases where MySQL will be the better choice over postgres, but the future for the stack looks bleak.
I don’t get that feeling. And I like that people are doing their best to try to improve the reputation of the language. The reality is that modern php is very decent, but a lot of people that have never used it or have used a very old version mock or look down upon it for no apparent reason.

It’s important to try to improve the reputation so that it gets new developers interested in it in order for the language to keep being relevant.

If you want a concrete reason why I think php is great and has many things that are very useful compared to its competition:

Extensive native support for classes and types.

Php does class-based OO better than its competition (JavaScript, python).

Designing a traditional object oriented system using classes and interfaces is better in PHP than in JavaScript and python, if we limit ourselves to the native features of the language.

For example, you cannot define a native interface or an abstract class in python or JavaScript. JavaScript classes, since they’re just syntactic sugar, have a lot of unexpected behavior.

In python you have to accept the this/self object in every method definition.

Here are a couple of links about php classes, interfaces and types for anyone interested:

There doesn't even have to be a scammer involved. (Although is also clearly true that the entire ecosystem is a magnet for scammers)

Any of these schemes had to involve a much higher risk than conventional investing. You can wave your hands as much as you want, but that doesn't hide the fact that there was (and still is) systemic risk that was by a) nature incredibly difficult to quantify and b) probably pretty high, given the returns. There is no free lunch.
Doesn't IPv6 remove broadcast, thus removing DHCP and ARP?

I mean, hosts need to be 'dual stack' to support IPv4 and IPv6 together - whereas TheLoafOfBread's proposal would allow support of both with one backward-compatible stack.

There is no great source on the details across the nation, but there are a hodgepodge of municipal-level studies that shed a light.

There were roughly 20k gun homicides in the US in 2021[0]. It's been fluctuating between 10k and 20k over the past five decades or so, with the last few years seeing a quick increase and seeing a (hopefully) local peak in rates.

In one study in San Francisco, ~70% of gun homicide victims had a criminal record, and three quarters of that figure knew the suspect[1]. A similar study in Milwaukee found that ~90% of both victims and suspects of gun homicides had a criminal record[2], and the top two reasons identified of the circumstances behind the homicide were arguments/fights and robberies. There are other studies done at local levels in many other places with similar results.

A DOJ study notes that three quarters of all gun homicides were during the commission of a (different) felony[3]. And you can query the CDC WONDER mortality database[4] yourself to see that gun homicide rates in "large central metro" areas are twice as high as those in medium, small, or non-metro areas, and that men 15-34 years of age comprise the majority of gun homicide victims.

So, perhaps my "gang-on-gang" statement wasn't really accurate (since a "gang-related" incident is loosely defined), and I'll leave the "vast majority" determination to you; but the point is that most gun homicides occur among the "criminal element" in "bad parts of town", and is not really relevant to life as a software engineer.

Asking to spot the difference between a given document and an unseen document is impossible.
I am curious as to why are you so sure? Maybe paste a hash of a sentence containing her name.
I’ve asked my Uber and Lyft drivers over the years about how they feel about their work. They seem generally ok because it’s pretty flexible when they work and many people are doing it for supplemental income. I’ve yet to hear someone complain. I’m fact many of them, in nyc at least, are former taxi drivers that were being exploited mercilessly by the medallion holder. While Uber might be exploiting them just as hard or harder economically, they aren’t forcing them to do 12 hour six days a week shifts over night and renting them the taxi on top.
> Even if you were to be able to say that OpenZFS is not a derived work of Linux, all it would allow you to do is to distribute OpenZFS. You would _still_ not be able to distribute OpenZFS + Linux as a combined work.

I just see "tap the notification" and "didn't get the notification?" brings me to a page that says "do not disturb active" and "you can allow clearspace anyway in Settings -> Focus".

I went to Settings->Focus->Do Not Disturb and added the Clearspace app to "Allow Notifications", but still see nothing.

Edit: ah, it's because iOS's own Screentime was blocking the Clearspace app, which was blocking the notification.
Came to say this. The point seems not to be give an "all sides showing" but specifically to remove language that's designed to trigger our subcortical response systems.

The refreshed OP-1 Field isn't that old. I tried it and thought it was a lot of fun, but still too expensive for me for what it does.
You're closer, but I specifically mean to take your fresh mushrooms and throw them into the skillet without any oil (or water). Using dehydrated mushrooms in soups is kinda a shortcut to this.

Though the above comment mentioned Chinese soups and we should recognize that they often use wood ear, which is a different class of mushrooms than most westerners are used to. Wood ear are jellies whereas most western cuisine uses mushrooms with caps and stems (cremini, chanterelles, morels). Still, in general I recommend dry sauteing mushrooms before adding them to the rest of your dish.

More detailed cooking explanation:

Mushrooms are mostly water and air (i.e. a sponge), which is why the traditional French cooking methods tell you to not wash your mushrooms but to clean dry. So recognizing that these are mostly water, really we want to draw the water out, heat (break down cell walls), and then rehydrate with something more flavorful. Most people fuck up on the first step, by using too high of a heat or using something that the mushroom absorbs (oil or water). You start low heat, then the mushrooms release their water, you then bring the heat up to evaporate the water (now cooking the mushrooms). After that, your options change and you need to decide if you want to just brown the mushrooms with oil and seasoning or add them to a sauce or soup. The former will maintain a lot of mushroom flavor but also that nice fat and seasoning. The latter is going to absorb your sauce and add texture and add umami flavor. Either way, you generally reduce the heat here. But I cannot stress enough how mushrooms are sponges and you have to cook under this paradigm. It's like the difference between cooking french toast with bread straight from the loaf or using bread that has been left overnight (or a bit stale). Though maybe this is a bad comparison because a lot of people don't use stale bread for french toast either, despite that being a major part of its history.

That article is completely mad. But it does admit the following:

The main drawbacks [of battery storage] are: At the moment, it has a much higher cost per kilowatt-hour of storage capacity. Much shorter lifespan.

If we consider Snowy Hydro 2’s maximum possible energy storage capacity, it comes to only $20 to $29 per kilowatt-hour

$5,000 [buys] 5.16 kilowatt-hours of Hornsdale storage

That is, Snowy Hydro is an order of magnitude cheaper for storage.

The article continuously harps on about kW comparisons, and ignores comparing kWh storage: foolish for an article supposedly about electricity storage. For example the article makes the inane point: “If Snowy Hydro 2 comes in at $10 billion, its cost per kilowatt of power output comes to… $5,000 per kilowatt. That’s not cheap. Gas generation normally comes to under $1,000 per kilowatt.”, and again “Snowy 2 Vs. Hornsdale: Assuming Snowy Hydro 2 costs $5,000 per kilowatt of power output, for that cost, we could instead buy . . .”.

Utter rubbish.

Has anyone seen an analysis of what percentage of economic activity is just redistribution of wealth more adjacent to gambling, compared to economic activity that is more tightly coupled to cost of delivering goods and services?

And just in case it’s not obvious: This question comes to mind as I would categorize SoftBank pretty firmly in the gambling niche - at least compared to a local plumber or Uber driver.
> Society can. But the person that employed me part time in highschool wasn't able to. So yes, he had someone living in those conditions in his warehouse (not me). I think it was better for the person than being homeless.

The existence of a worse alternative does not justify a situation in isolation. I don't doubt that it was a better alternative to homelessness but it was not the only alternative. We would never attempt to justify slavery with the suggestion that it was better than being murdered.

That's not to say that the people involved were moustache twirlingly evil but it also doesn't make the situation moral/desirable.

> Is that really any different than a young adult moving back in with the parents and helping around the house?

Generally, yes. There's a decades long filial relationship, the child's time is free to pursue paid employment, and the parents are unlikely to kick the child out because business is slow or the dishes haven't been washed. A homeless person living and working in a warehouse has been put in a position where they're obliged to comply with the employer's demands. If they're working full time for the employer for free/very little then they also have very little ability to save enough to have the agency to move themselves on, or push back against unreasonable behaviour.

If you've ever had a bad boss, imagine that person deciding whether or not they want to make you homeless at any given moment.
Was this the most damning fact uncovered by the House investigation into this report? That there was a researcher working on it who wasn't properly credited? That in itself doesn't seem like reason to discard the report, let alone to reach the opposite conclusion.

And of course there has been subsequent research by independent scientists who also reached the conclusion that a zoonotic origin is most likely.

I'm not saying the lab leak theory has been conclusively disproved -- it hasn't -- but certainly neither has the wildlife theory.
