> Seems to me that it's the team + market that won the money.

That's pretty much it. Most analysts expect there's an addressable market of $20bn this year, growing to $100bn per year by the end of the decade. The market will be split between four or five companies. The number of people globally with the required expertise to create these models is in the tens (generously one hundred individuals). Three of those people are involved in this company now, and another five are joining in the next few weeks, each leaving senior positions at competitors.

This one company has secured something in the order of 5-10% of the global talent pool for a $100bn/yr industry.

Book Review: Programming and Metaprogramming the Human Biocomputer
In my enterprise environment of legacy systems with 97% reliability, our scripts often run without -e and the effect is we deliver broken stuff constantly. But people get results. They get an email that says "an unknown error occurred". This can be superior to running some tiny shell script with -e and breaking that communication. It's kind of subjective to the experience.
I don't like coming to the comments and being negative either, but I have to agree. I feel like the style causes a lot of accessibility issues. It is nearly impossible for me to tell what is going on. I think it mostly comes down to the use of rough.js. Are there other options available? I do like the actual content, just not how it is displayed.

- The font is hard for me to read, even on the left where its horizontal and black, and nearly impossible to read under the currently working on graph.

- I can barely see 'commit comment' on the activity trends graph in one spot and nowhere else.

- The shades on the pull request size history are so close together I can't tell what is what at a glance.

- TypeScript and CMake on the pie chart really blend with the colors next to them.

- On the contribution time graph the rough circles are really distracting and then the graph itself has lines that almost line up with the background and end up basically double vertical lines for more distraction.

I don't mind it happening, after all they are just assistants like you said, it's just the zero warning "I give up" that it seems to have. At least with Tesla's version it attempts to keep going while screaming at you to take over. The Toyota version just gives a small beep and by the time you figure out what the beep was it's given up completely and if you were unprepared (having your hands off the wheel[bad thing to do anyways, but a lot of people do it], only slightly following the road) you may be sliding into an adjacent lane.

The cost of producing a lie was not changing very fast, but the cost of pushing it out to lots of people has already plummeted.

And now with LLMs even the cost of producing lies has plummeted, too.

No matter how bad you think the past was, this problem just got worse.
The internet increased the speed of information propagation, but it also made 'cute' imitation annoying way faster.

I guess it shouldn't be surprising. With reams of information piling up, it can be hard to get noticed. So you look for gimmicks to get attention (hah!). The trouble is that you are not unique and a thousand other people have the same idea... and your cute imitation is just tired.

Some years ago when my 4x5 enlarger was still up in the back of my office, I tried something like this with my phone--literally just putting the phone face down in the enlarger, with a glass holder. It sort of worked. Didn't really pursue it much more than that.

There are a number of shops where it is advantageous to have a paid RHEL subscription, mostly when there are non-technically-focused management involved. When there is an issue I've had managers in the past say "Quit dicking around on the internet and get someone on the phone".

For these shops, you don't need the paid enterprise offering across the board (dev, testing, etc) so that is where an EL rebuild is handy. In those cases you don't want too much different between prod and test/dev, but you don't need the paid support or priority patches on internal test hosts.

IIRC, this one used to be true but was overturned.
This reads like the beginning of a plot of a really bad, poorly-written movie -- the kind that I'd quickly dismiss as too implausible.

"Ha-ha, there's no way any sane manager would ever hire an actor to play a priest to obtain private details about employees' personal lives," I would have thought.

Yeah, I don't get the "eh, it's not that big a deal" reaction.

That it was a game controller? OK, not necessarily a big deal. Hopefully they'd take two of them just in case, even with a high-quality game controller, but still, might be OK.

That it was a game controller not from one of the major console manufacturers? And a cheap one, at that? I can only assume people not taking that as a serious WTF haven't used many of those lately (by which I mean in the last 15+ years). If you buy from any but a handful of trusted brands, these days—and Logitech ain't one of them, it's almost, but not quite, entirely the three console manufacturers, and the exceptions are not cheap—you can expect the device to suck from day 1 and to die completely within a year, even if subjected to no abuse. You may luck out and it won't, but if you deviate from that guidance, you're very likely buying garbage unsuited even to home use.

If someone told me they bought a $30 Logitech controller for their Playstation emulator box, I'd tell them to buy a Playstation or XBox controller instead when it breaks.
> First, it's not always easy to map every object operation into either an open read or write.

Now a days people are mapping everything to JSON, and it works. The Plan9 directory structure was basically the JSON of the 80s, a hierarchical data structure were the hierarchy is easily navigable in a standard way, and the leafs can then hold any non-standard stuff you may need.

Personal experience: find gets hard to use, and I always have to resort to piping into grep anyway. Maybe I should learn how find works; maybe I should just stick with standard tools. And if `du | grep` gets too long to type, especially with arguments, then that's where I write a script for my common use.

I assume it's a bit like how a few straight people used to object to the term 'straight', generally complaining that they were just 'normal' people (haven't seen this in years, but it was big in the nineties and early noughties from the more over-sensitive corners of the right wing).

Though arguably even more absurd; 'cisgender' is the rough equivalent to the rather dry technical term 'heterosexual', and I've never heard of anyone objecting to _that_. It's not even slang!

"Cisgender" is obviously not a slur, come on, but this is Saint Car we're talking about; one shouldn't necessarily expect things to make sense.

Exactly! They fundamentally don't want to acknowledge trans people's existence as valid, and use every possible tool to keep it that way.
Honest question, but is there something specific you're concerned about? Do you expect Google spies on Containers running on their servers, such as decoding RAM or decoding Network Traffic (that isn't ssl encrypted, at least)?

I get the paranoia, but honestly i'm more paranoid of Kagi themselves than i am of processes running on AWS or GCP.

The percentage of the internet you'd be unable to use if you couldn't use any cloud provider for fears of 5 Eyes-like monitoring is kinda intense for me. So i'm not sure where realistic and excessive paranoia meet with respect to AWS or GCP infra.

I love Waze, but the product has stagnated. I’d love simple things like the ability for it to get me where I want N minutes early instead of exactly on time (I hate hacking this in with synthetic calendar events).

CentOS Stream is not "bleeding edge". Every update that goes into CentOS Stream has already gone through the Red Hat QA process, and the updates are restricted to only the kinds of things which previously would have gone into RHEL. That is, mostly security updates and bugfixes.

It's a little bit ahead of RHEL, but it's not like Fedora, much less Rawhide.

What you say about helicopters not being able to change speed on the rotor and requiring blade pitch is true, but at the size of helicopters, it has far less to do with the speed at which the engine can change RPMs as just pure inertia of the giant helicopter blade. I am a helicopter pilot, and I can generally adjust the speed of the engine much more rapidly than the rotor speed itself adjusts. I suspect that's a large part of the reason for the multiple rotors on this drone. If they get larger, you're no longer able to rapidly adjust the speed of it just from pure inertia.
I have a mix of x86_64 and aarch64 machines and, damn, NixOS makes it so freaking easy. Most of nixpkgs works on both architectures. You can even use your machines as remote builders and/or use binfmt to transparently run/build stuff through qemu.

There is a big difference between "staying alive against their own will WITHOUT any possibility to improve" and "staying alive against their own will when there IS a possibility to improve". Promoting suicide in the second case, and wasting money on it instead of actually improving lives of people suffering is, lets say dumb. If a human is suffering so much that he wants to die, he can do it on his own fast and painless, by buying a bottle of nitrogen for a fifty bucks or less. But if he don't know about how to commit suicide someone (meaning government) needs to rent some facilities for a suicide booth, pay salary for the qualified personnel there, go through regular intensive red tape, paperwork and inspections, pay for the meds for the procedure, pay for the advertisements about it (even if they are not exactly like some Coca-Cola ads, but any brochures or signs or printed poster are essentially ads). All those money can be better directed at education and health improvements for those same people. Because their condition IS REVERSIBLE. Killing them is both stupid and immoral.

Fingerprinting.

Everything about you that isn't identical to everyone else can be combined to guess who you likely are. Your exact browser version, OS, supported APIs, your IP address, your latency to Google servers... Anything that isn't a complete match to everyone else.

You may have a new install, but your IP and latency match your old install. What are the odds you're not the same person?

It's all probabilistic. But Google has a lot of incentive to get really good at making those guesses.
This is a response that, if made not in jest, is a signal of mendacity.

Submersibles visited the Challenger Deep in the 1960s. We know how to build them, we know how to build them effectively, and we know many of the ways not to build them. "But we added tourists!" is not a meaningful factor here unless what you meant-but-wouldn't-say is "but we value engineered it!" in which case: yes, exactly, that's what safety rules are designed to put guardrails around.

1. The kth root of x being x^1/k would be written as this:

k 1/k
△x = x△

2. I don't think these are as important. Also, ln x / log x is still the same or more symbols than `e△x`.

3. Not significantly more than parens in exponents. You also get rid of one level of parens from log.

4. Notation change is often a huge hassle, this is absolutely true.

5. Isn't this a problem for current notations as well? Especially if you ever want to put a complex expression for k in the k'th root notation.

6. log_a(log_a(x)) would be `a△(a△x) `.

Still, I don't personally like the symbol. The biggest problem to me is that it requires smaller letters (subscripts/superscripts) all the time, which makes it more annoying to write than the regular notation for the base of an exponentiation and the argument of a log or root. Complex expressions in small letters are very annoying to me, and this notations makes it necessary to use them in all cases, where the normal notation at least has some cases where this is not needed.

Passwords are not about hiding data.

Passwords are legally the only thing that can't be forced out of you, to make you login into a computer system against your interests.

Passwords are the core foundation of keeping your internet life separate from your personal/private life. Biometric and hardware authentication make both your real life name/address/life history and your computer ID the same thing.

I didn't sign up for American globalism, and I don't want my iPhone's authentication systems to force me into being accountable to Twitter/Apple/Google credit score. If the Australian government forced this stuff on me and kept it within Australia, that's different.

IBM is moving to a "passwordless trend" on their server authentication, in favour of biometrics and iPhone auth. I bet my bottom dollar that will get spread everywhere in the universe, regardless of our protestations.

The fine is only $5,000, while they have to pay $140,000 in back wages. Imagine you stole $140,000 and all you had to do was pay a fine. If anything, we are learning here that there is a pretty low risk associated with trying to pull something like that off.
Xbox controllers are way ahead of low-end logitech controllers though, so the point stands: If you want to control the device using a controller, might as well pick a good reliable one instead of the cheapest option available.
I don't agree with your assertion that suffering is anathema. Learning to accept and endure difficulty or pain or discomfort increases one's resilience. Soldiers are trained into this mindset and can accomplish much more as a result. Athletes train this way as well. Also, what about parenting? Telling your child to pull the weeds feels like an enormous burden of suffering when you are the 12-year-old child who has to go out in the summer sun to pull weeds, but for the parent, the view is quite different. The garden produces food for the family, and the child learns to do things they don't want to do or don't like to do.

Your statement "Suffering is anathema..." is Enlightenment thinking that has had a devastating effect on the physical and mental health of the cultures that have adopted it.
I was pleased to see that Hallow earned their seal of approval, or should I say it evaded their badge of shame? Hallow's a good app, professionally developed, and it's marketed tirelessly. I had my friend asking me if it was a good app to install. I don't know; I use other ones but not Hallow.

I was also pleased to see that "BetterHelp" earned the badge of shame. BetterHelp is just on this side of an outright scam. They contract with legitimate counselors and therapists and then cram their appointment books full of Zoom sessions. They claim that you can just send a quick text message to your "therapist" and get helped. But people aren't getting helped, they're just getting taken for a ride. This aggregation of gig-working counselors in an app is a really bad way to conduct this kind of business. It may work for a ride-hailing service, but not for mental health care. If you're thinking of using "BetterHelp" or one of its analogs, please instead consider doing your homework, finding a legitimate clinic or therapist who's licensed in your state, and do an intake directly with their practice. Many of them are now amenable to televideo appointments, and they will work with or without your insurance or on a sliding scale. There are really good therapists out there who don't need to be found on a janky app.
We're being carefully prepared for announcements of non-DNA life (probably Martian) and for evidence of ETI.

Yep, it's not the full story. For ARM, the standard for that is SystemReady.

UEFI is nice, but it realistically only defines the boot process. Once the OS has taken over there's a ton of other stuff that it has to do that will be defined by not the ISA of the CPU but by the platform, like enumerate devices or coordinate interrupts. For those two things in particular, it looks like a form of ACPI may be supported by some RISC-V platforms, and there's PLIC and APLIC for interrupts. Undoubtedly there are more things that I'm not thinking of, but I think that's a good start, as those are two things that were in fact NOT standard on many ARM SBCs.
