Go's contribution here is not so much inventing the idea... Python's had it since the 20th century, for instance... but accidentally hiding them in the docs so that so many people, even long-time Go programmers, don't realize Go has it too.

While I don't like proprietary firmware, I'm not sure if the line is drawn at a useful place.

If you have firmware/software/whatever in a device, which is updateable (as opposed to mask-rom or hard logic), I'd much rather have it transparently managed by an OS I can control, than some EEPROM with often proprietary, inscrutable, I-ask-you-nicely-please-update-your-firmware update mechanism.

IMO, the difference is:

- with OS provided firmware (and preferably no writable storage), I can be sure my device is running the same SW as the rest of the world

- with dozens of EEPROMs in my device, I can never be sure what is running on it.

Firmware that is legally not redistributable is a non-trivial, though perhaps less bothersome issue. Firmware that requires manufaturer's signature is bothersome but I would still prefer it over inscrutable hidden firmware.

The Essential Tech Stack
If you decide to run testing, be aware that while testing does get updates that address security issues after those updates work their way into testing from unstable, it does not explicitly get security updates.

Pinning some security sensitive packages to stable or unstable might be worth considering. E.g., if running testing on a client, pin firefox and extensions to stable
+ stable-security (note, globbing works too):

/etc/apt/preferences.d/firefox:
Package: firefox-esr
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 999
Package: firefox-esr
Pin: release a=stable-security
Pin-Priority: 999

Package: webext-ublock-origin-firefox
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 999
Package: webext-ublock-origin-firefox
Pin: release a=stable-security
Pin-Priority: 999

The above priorities will not downgrade to stable from testing if the packages are already installed. To downgrade priority needs to be >= 1000. See 'man 5 apt_preferences'. If priority >= 1000, probably best to only do that temporarily, then adjust to lower to prevent setting a landmine for your future-self.

If there are only a couple things you want to update to newer versions that are not in backports, you can just run stable, and pin those packages to versions in testing or unstable (but only if those packages pull in no / only a few dependencies not used by other packages). If you add e.g., testing/unstable sources to a stable system, add a catchall pin to force those packages to a low priority by default to prevent accidentally updating your entire system e.g., for sid:

/etc/apt/preferences.d/sid:
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 10

Pinning without thinking can result in a broken system. But, I'm typing this on a box running testing (I guess stable, as of today) with packages pinned from Bullseye, Sid, and experimental and I've never had worse issues than an update being blocked due to dependency version conflict which was easily worked-around by pinning another package/removing or downgrading a pinned package; I run unattended-upgrades on all my boxes too. But, my hard rule is no scary deps e.g., a diff version of libc being pulled in, no deps shared with other packages that I would not want to have to pin to the same release (e.g., shared with any package with tons of deps itself), and no package that wants to pull in a lot of deps regardless of how benign they appear.

AFAIK, the biggest problem is some influential "scientists", especially this guy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trofim_Lysenko, advocated for a kind of "communist farming" with some really strange idea of how plants work which led to some horrible results.

DO killed 2 of our production server some weeks ago erroneously due to an issue on their end that claimed we were part of a ddos attack. Took us an entire week to recover properly... maybe this might have helped... also was promised credits for the downtime but never received them, minor after the fact as we're pretty happy with the service overall.

> The Incident:

Beginning at 17:10 UTC, May 9th, multiple DigitalOcean customers experienced Droplet network outages due to an action on Droplets by an automated mechanism. This mechanism has been in place at DigitalOcean since 2019. It helps us ensure that any potentially compromised Droplet seen participating in an outbound Denial of Service attack is quickly taken offline. This is in place to assist in protecting all DO customers by ensuring we have a network focused on delivering legitimate traffic at speed and scale, unencumbered by illegitimate traffic. When triggered, this mechanism suspends networking capabilities on the Droplet or Droplet-based services temporarily to allow the owner to investigate the issue. Users are informed via a support ticket and email that details the paths to recovery. This incident was triggered by an unannounced data change made by a third-party, which DigitalOcean uses to assist in analyzing traffic flow and metrics, as well as detecting malicious traffic patterns.

Due to this mechanism constantly running and no changes being made directly by DigitalOcean, our teams were delayed in beginning an incident response. After multiple reports from customers that they believed the notification of outgoing Denial of Service attacks from their Droplets were false positives, an internal incident was declared to investigate the issue and start remediation efforts.

After a thorough investigation by the DigitalOcean Security and Networking teams, the root cause was discovered to be an erroneous change made by a third-party service that reports data on traffic. Contact was established with the third-party, and they confirmed a change had been made. Investigation began on their side, and they confirmed there was a bug causing bad data to be returned from their API.

Remediation of this incident was done through multiple paths. Complete resolution was achieved once the third-party rolled back the change that was made, which was causing bad data to be reported to DigitalOcean systems. Before that rollback was able to be put in place, DigitalOcean took direct action to take the automated mechanism that disables Droplet networking offline, given the suspected bad data. The support teams also worked throughout this incident to directly address customer tickets and re-enable networking on impacted Droplets.

> And part of their FSD system includes the most sophisticated driver gaze and attention tracking system on the market.

That’s a just blunt lie. Their driver monitoring system is very deficient. They lack, for example, industry standard of infrared camera that allows you to see through the sunglasses.

And all older Model S/X, that have FSD, lack any camera at all.
Palantir is a criminal organization that should have their corporate charter dissolved. Re-posting what their CEO says is enabling them. And there's especially no reason to listen to them on the topic of machine learning.

Some things are important to do in the first week, like anti-corrupt practices act compliance, and compliance for any consent decrees currently in place. DEI and anti-bias can wait for week two.
Yes! Although I think that targeting both is unlikely to work in one app, which means we need interoperability and true federation between different codebases.

Currently this leaves a lot to be desired. It sorta works for status-based updates with Mastodon and a few others, but it's not a great situation as Mastodon isn't the most standards compliant player, and the standards themselves are pretty loosely defined.
> Now let's just remove the way people get about to doing all those things

No, congestion pricing removes the obstacles slowing people down from doing all those things. Take for instance a plumber who still has to drive around. Yes, they have to pay the congestion charge, but they also spend way less time stuck in traffic and can probably bill an extra job or two that day. Same for UPS drivers, etc.

IMHO, there's nothing humane about indiscriminately lobbing large amounts of explosives at each other just because you don't have the technology to aim properly and strike more surgically, which are two things you might be able to do with AI. The Ukraine conflict is a stark reminder of how dehumanizing old school war can be. Scorched earth, lots of lives being lost, entire cities that get leveled to the ground.
I'm don't think this dichotomy is at all fair. Just because someone makes a piece of software public does not mean they want it freely copied, and I think that can be a completely reasonable stance to have. I'm struggling to make sense of your argument unless you believe either:

- Code is not intellectual property; I don't see this as easily defensible. It takes time, effort, and in some cases seriously heavy resources to come up with some of the tech companies rely on. Should all private companies rescind copyright on literally everything their staff write?

- Intellectual property is a nonsense concept altogether; in this case, I don't think you're ever going to get your way in the court of public opinion.
in many cases a snip;routine;proc...whatever you work with, is rote procedure.

True. As the article you linked to explains, a trademark on a color would prevent you from using the color(s) in ways that compete or confuse with the original company/product, but not any use of a color at all. It almost definitely isn't going to apply to the bg color an open sourced HTML template chose.

I would wager that if you sat down people from small, deep-red towns in California, New England, and Texas, they’d agree on much more than they disagreed. And I’d bet you’d get similar results with city dwellers from each region. There are variations on, for instance, how likely people are to strike up a conversation with strangers in an elevator, but to me these are the more superficial differences.
I'm working on a product and a lot of the code was written by ChatGPT, to be honest. It sped up my work by 3x, and I could ask it very specific questions about the code as well, including giving me multiple ways to optimize it. If you're working with specific libraries and languages, it can work great.
Is this what is used in e.g. ggml/llama.cpp which is the most prominent quantized inference program I'm aware of? If not, would it result in a material difference vs whatever it's using now (which I thought was 4-8 bit float numbers). Anybody know?
The complete lack of any power numbers is extremely telling.

I'm not so sure about this comparison even. There are multiple factors at play that you're just assuming, that the $500 leather boots are going to be worn for 10 years to be equivalent to the crocs, but I'm not sure that's the norm. Excluding those who have the means easily for $500 leather boots, who likely will just buy more of them to rotate (thus creating waste). Surely someone who spends $500 on leather boots is also going to care about their status, and therefore might get them repaired far more often.

These repairs, while likely less wasteful than full-on recycling, have costs attributed to them. It costs to produce the goods required to repair. These goods often aren't super sustainable products either. With these factors in mind, is the comparison equal? Can we absolutely stand by the idea that paying for $500 leather boots will be better for the environment and you for 10 years?

Which is why when making these comparisons we should really get into the nitty gritty details, otherwise we're just handwaving a bunch of things and making assumptions to justify our position. By doing so, we'll be able to make better choices with proper information rather than shifting the burden of environmental impact elsewhere (to a repair shop or shoe makers, etc).

Note, this is not a defense of crocs vs leather boots. The product categories are just throwaway examples.

The absolute "best of class" Nvidia card is currently the 4090, which can be up to 30% faster than the 4080 in scaling workloads.
