I wholly agree with "second fathers."

I am Gen X, and I think one of the social institutions which has quietly vanished before I could quite get to it was the old Roman concept of "patronage." Without understanding I was doing it until embarrassingly late, I spent a lot of time looking for those second fathers, the mentors, the patrons. What broke it for me was someone who was clearly suited for the role, and had benefited from it himself, but was simply too self-involved to pay it forward, as it were. I realized that the Boomers as a trend just weren't thinking patronage or even the idea of planting trees they wouldn't see grown.

So, no mentors for me. Nor am I, sadly, in the position to be much of one myself. I can at last see myself doing it and cut that off at the pass.

If the "wrong" groups have something to offer in the way of second fathers, maybe their values aren't as bad as expected. Nobody wants to even consider that. If only The Bad Guys are making sense about some issues, what else might they be correct on?
I love alterNAT so very much.

Everyone is clearly entitled to their own set of ethics, but in this situation ethics is not a problem.

One of the explicit permissions of Free Software (and by extension Open Source Software) is that you can sell the software or otherwise profit off it. There is no stipulation that you need to be the primary author, or any kind of contributer to do this.

Equally there is the very explicit freedom to not restrict what people can do with the software. This is quite literally in the definition of Free Software.

Thus rebranding a product, and hosting it yourself, is completely consistent with the Free Software ideals, as long as the user conforms to the terms of the license (making source code available.)

AGPL does not stop rebranding/ rehosting, nor is it designed to. There are licenses that do that well, but they are not OSS licenses.

Ethically I subscribe to the idea that the author was free to license their work (open or closed) however they chose. I'm happy to use , or not use, the product based on the license -they- chose. I'm not obligated to impose additional restrictions on their work. If they wanted those restrictions they have the choice to add them.

You are of course free to apply any framework of ethics to yourself that you like. I'd also point out that using the AGPL specifically does -not- prevent someone from running your product on their server rebranding it, and selling it for money. Doing that is completely within the bounds of AGPL.
That smell thing is probably huge. When yon get out into the wild, deodorant smells super strong. Humans have so many strong artificial smells on them (clothes, deodorant, hair stuff, sunscreen, bug spray not to mention all the other stuff around a campsite)… we must stand out for miles.

Take all that away on a seasonal basis and damn right something must be up. Animals aren’t stupid. They know you are there well before you know they are there.

I finally (after a year) got my Bolt EUV with the lesser (200,000 miles of roads instead of 400,000) version of GM's SuperCruise. I've used it to drive 250 miles for a long weekend with my wife, then the 250 miles back home. Volunteered down state and the car drove almost all of the 120 miles to get me there, spent the day, then it drove me almost all of the way home. I found myself much less fatigued after driving than I normally am.

Also switched recently to one-pedal driving, which means that the car slows down if you lift off the accelerator pedal. You almost never need to use the brake pedal. It's not the same feeling as driving a stick, where you're using all 4 limbs, but it makes me feel connected in a similar way.

I would be interested in the statistics on rear-end collisions with one-pedal driving as opposed to normal cars, because the car doesn't coast while somebody is looking at their phone. It just feels different.
Everything you just said is only reinforcing my belief that it's best to separate the behavior from the identity at all times, but especially when criticizing it, so that we don't spread the bad idea of linking bad behavior and identity in the first place.
FE uses only one type of tire and it’s the same tire for everyone. They are probably closest to, but distinct from, the Inter tires used in damp conditions in F1.

Good point, thanks for the advice. Perhaps "project management" is a bit misleading as well... maybe I'll just stick to "TUI file manager". Hopefully marketing it as more of a file manager for a project as opposed to a full-on project manager promises less.

I'll update the README soon.
The guy actually dies due to his reckless/suicidal actions, has suicidal thoughts/ ideation, and you’re just perfectly content with assuming they’re completely unrelated?

Has it ever crossed your mind that his mental state manifested itself in his actions that took a sport from moderately dangerous to “flipping the coin on your life”?

The most mike blowing part of this is that the part you’re most concerned with is policing the language used in the conversation, not actual outcomes in peoples’ lives.

I’m sorry if I’m not young, wild and free like you and him are, but I pity any friends or family who might be in a situation where they need a voice of reason to call them back from making a stupid, life-ending decision and all they have is you telling them “it’s okay as long as it’s within your risk tolerance!”
I think it is a reference to Hinton's comments about Wittgenstein in the New Statesman:

https://www.newstatesman.com/long-reads/2023/06/men-made-fut...

There are, he conceded, aspects of the world ChatGPT is describing that it does not understand. But he rejected LeCun’s belief that you have to “act on” the world physically in order to understand it, which current AI models cannot do. (“That’s awfully tough on astrophysicists. They can’t act on black holes.”) Hinton thinks such reasoning quickly leads you towards what he has described as a “pre-scientific concept”: consciousness, an idea he can do without. “Understanding isn’t some kind of magic internal essence. It’s an updating of what it knows.”

In that sense, he thinks ChatGPT understands just as humans do. It absorbs data and adjusts its impression of the world. But there is nothing else going on, in man or machine.

“I believe in [the philosopher Ludwig] Wittgenstein’s position, which is that there is no ‘inner theatre’.” If you are asked to imagine a picnic on a sunny day, Hinton suggested, you do not see the picnic in an inner theatre inside your head; it is something conjured by your perceptual system in response to a demand for data. “There is no mental stuff as opposed to physical stuff.” There are “only nerve fibres coming in”. All we do is react to sensory input.

The difference between us and current AIs, Hinton thinks, is the range of input.

That's a great gesture and I appreciate it, but it's still a lot more friction than just a free trial. Is the concern with a free trial that people will pirate it?

> Memory is quite limited on Windows 3.1 machines, so I tried to reduce the amount of memory needed for WinGPT, especially in sending and receiving the query and response from the OpenAI API. The JSON responses of modern APIs aren't especially optimized for size, and OpenAI's API is no exception. I've asked the model to be brief in an effort to keep responses as small as possible. I've also chosen not to send the text of previous turns in the API calls, even though this means that the bot won't be able to use prior conversation context.

You can trade space for CPU time using SAX-style parsing[1]. SAX-style parsing visits each node of a tree from top to bottom, firing events for each node visited. The amount of memory required compared to fully parsing JSON is negligible, and writing a custom SAX-style parser for JSON shouldn't be too difficult. There are existing SAX-style JSON parsers you can examine as well.[2]

Nice, using a language model AI is the perfect tool to simulate interviews and generate cover letters. Good stuff.

I wonder how many companies actually use LLMs for what they're good at instead of jumping onto the AI hype with random use-cases where anything is possible.
The sad thing is that in many cases working on such a system is a career killer. Nobody wants to hire you. Some years ago a colleague and I realized that our company wouldn’t hire us judging from the job descriptions because we worked on systems that had been working for years but weren’t shiny. Since then I always something new to every project. Not because it makes sense but because it’s good for the resume. Other groups are even worse. Three devs writing 13 micro services on Kubernetes for maybe a thousand users ever.
Thank you for the link, very interesting. A lot of work going on in this space right now!
They are suppose to in my state, but in reality they don't unless someone specifically calls about it. It seems to not have the proper funding to do it, and that lack of funding results in the corpses rotting for way too long which makes the job far worse for the people who do it and thus there are less willing candidates who also demand better pay and put their effort towards the easy fresh calls.

A lot of people could pick up fresh killed animals without a problem, but not as many people can handle dealing with a half rotted and bloated deer, which makes the lack of funding far less effective than it would otherwise be with proper full funding.

> because the name is constructed to make it look like being male is what's bad

I'm open to this argument because it's clear that many people take it this way, but how else would you state it? Everywhere else in English, an adjective limits the scope of the noun it's attached to. "Toxic chemicals" doesn't imply that chemicals are inherently toxic, "red car" doesn't imply that cars are inherently red. "Toxic" is probably needlessly sensational though, I'll grant that.

> bad traits like being violent or domineering can be called out without having to pointlessly gender the terms.

I agree with this. To clarify I think part of the frustration/misunderstanding with the term comes from it being applied at the wrong level. It's a descriptor of a social/cultural phenomenon, not a trait of an individual. If a man is being violent, it may or may not have anything to do with toxic masculinity, and invoking toxic masculinity to describe his actions would be inappropriate and needlessly gendered.

It really only makes sense to start talking about toxic masculinity when asking higher level sociological questions like, for example, why men are so over-represented in violent crime stats. It's a term to use when exploring causes, not effects, if that makes any sense.

It's like the difference in terminology between an ER nurse and an epidemiologist. The nurse might just say "flu", because at the level they operate that's the issue at hand. For them to speculate about the origins of the specific strain would be inappropriate. For the epidemiologist, however, these questions are exactly the point, because understanding the details of how an outbreak spreads can help us be more prepared in the future.

That’s a good idea, I think there is more agreement on a file manager does.

Then you can explain what you find most exciting about the program, what it does best or what’s unique about it.

That is one of the key issues behind the current Writers Guild of America strike. Producers want to be able to use LLMs to write script rough drafts and then pay human writers a lower rate to edit those scripts.

> ended the careers of many successful senior creative visionaries

The individual in question went on to found Skydance Animation, hardly an ended career.

The relative quality of Skydance’s single film, “Luck”, to pre/post Lasseter Pixar films is needed to know if he’s the culprit.

But who has Apple TV+?

That would (to me) only make sense if the extra $3,000 for the CS course subsidizes the other courses.

This can be automated with stylish (or fork) or tampermonkey. I've used to run a userscript on every page to prevent it from intercepting ESC, thanks to squarespace making ESC navigate you away from the current page to the site login. Thankfully the site I used to visit is no longer hosted by squarespace and they seem to have gotten it together to stop intercepting it elsewhere.
It's pretty bad stuff.

I would encourage any of the overly comfortable users of this site to spend five minutes in the company of a Rastafarian. Not your weed dealer that’s wearing a Bob Marley shirt.

I don't understand how this scenario played out -- who is "everyone that insisted that everyone stay put"? Other passengers? Gate agents?

You can safely ignore other passengers, but if the gate agent tells you to stay put because the flight may board and leave at any time, you ought to stay within hearing distance of the gate.

Once my flight was delayed for a few hours due to an equipment problem, they told us to come back in 2 hours... then we found out that the flight crew timed out and they were bringing in another crew. The gate agents told everyone to stay at the gate because they were going to board as soon as the new crew was there. And indeed, 45 minutes later they announced we were boarding and 20 minutes after that they closed the doors and we departed... with a lot of empty seats (not sure if those people rebooked, or missed the flight)
Succession, too!
It _is_ a disparaging view, and it’s _not_ clear he intended to survive all his climbs or he would have been using ropes.

Nothing of valor was achieved, and he performed no virtuous acts. It was a string of stupid, pointless acts which led to his death, and now we have people like you hero-worshipping him.

For my own part, I hope that nobody I love ever attempts something like this.

If it was an experimental pilot pushing the boundaries of flight or something, sure, there are inherent risks but you’re doing everything you can to mitigate the risk.

Climbing without a rope is just turning a past time into a needlessly dangerous pass time, with no benefit or glory.

> Do we have to add this everywhere we use the term "man" now?

No; the journal article made the clarification because it was intentionally using the incorrect, not widely-understood definition ("people with a Y chromosome") for brevity. This group includes cis men, trans women, and — perhaps most surprisingly — XY people born intersex with "enough" feminine primary sexual characteristics at birth that they were then assigned to be female through genital surgery and lifelong estrogen injections. You might grow up all your life as female, and yet be more prone to these cancers, because you happen to have a Y chromosome — i.e. because you are "a man", in the chosen terminology of the paper. This is not how the word "man" is normally used!
This sounds like something out of a Cory Doctorow book, I love it.

I'd like to remind all those talking about deer as pests, it is humankind that is responsible for destroying ecosystems and getting them out of balance. On the one hand, we encroach on natural habitats, remove predators, pollute water and vegetation. On the other, we live a wasteful life style and throw half of our food in the garbage. It's kinda obvious why these creatures tend to crowd our cities and suburbs (along with boars, foxes, bears and other fauna).

Just like you again ignored that Apple also disagrees with you since they fixed this bug

And you haven't explained the most important thing- the blocking part, "resources are limited" gives you nothing of substance at this level, you actually need to know the amount of effort involved.

Interview with an Emacs Enthusiast in 2023 [Colorized] [video]
you're complaining that the nomenclature for packages is not differentiated in a way that allows user code to have variable names with the same name as package names

you can still allow this, of course, by aliasing the package import

I really love this review of the past 20 years. It gets to the heart of the hype/FOMO cycle that's driven so many of these stacks to short-lived superstardom, and then quickly into irreversible technical debt. I have never really understood this. My favorite comment I ever got on a coding board when I was debating the pros and cons of building my next project in the trendy platform of the day was

Yes but how are the timing attacks an inherent vulnerability and not the result of an accounting error? If the bookkeeping is done properly and the correct amount of cleanup time on a speculated branch is done I don't see how adjacent processes would leak data.
> Look I'm not even complaining. But it feels like I'm stuck in a Franz Kafka novel. We just keep changing and changing the same things again and again because that's the new way to do. Big distraction. Destroys your workflow. Forget about all the util scripts you wrote last 6 months being useless.

Here's how I stay sane -- I focus on the changes. For the technologies that you noted, here are some good questions that come to mind to set them in my brain:

- What's the difference between CGI scripts and Serverless?

- What's the difference between Terraform and Ansible?

- What's the difference between a Bash script and a Makefile ? Is one more general than the other? Does one have a considerably better interface than the other?

All the solutions look the same, but the distinctions between them (even at a relatively surface level) are what help to actually tell things apart and stop the feeling of endless churn.

I think of it this way -- unlike other fields because the fruits of our research are immediately usable and almost zero-cost, we're given a front seat to the frontier of experimentation. It's a water hose, and you have to determine which streams are worth turning on/off, bottling for later.
