Ah, I see what the top comment was implying. I was a bit short sighted on that side. Yes, you'd be tied to OpenAI for any new queries you need to generate. There could be some ways to offload that (vector of a vector) but it is a cloud dependency. I'd argue not a cost dependency based on how cheap these are.
The way the little arms sorta appear to reach out while it tightens is kind of adorable.

Fractals always seem to have oddly biological looking behavior, for things made with such simple rules.
DYEL in the park? sorry. no offense!
This has been a talking point since wayland was announced. No one is buying it. Wayland is a very clear successor to X11 and OSs are going to choose one or the other at the end of the day.
I keep hearing this, but my experience has been the inverse.

I have statically compiled binary here running from RHEL AS 2.1 (2005) running on el7, it would probably run on newer releases I just haven't tried it.

I get -all- kinds of bullshit even trying to get a same-age winamp (5.666) working on a modern windows.
Your browser has a very powerful image decoder built into it, offloading the PNG decoding into Javascript is very resource hungry.

Using maplibre (or any map viewer) you can load blobs of image data out of a tiff and use `Image` or `Canvas` to render the data onto a map.

Its even easier if the tiffs are already Cloud optimized as they perfectly align to a 1-to-1 map tile and they don't need to be rescaled, you can then just render the images onto the map. eg here is a viewer that loads webps out of a 15GB tiff and uses Canvas to render them onto a map [1]

Unless you are trying to layer all your maps together, you also could stop reprojecting them into webmercator, or if your goal is to layer them, then storing them in webmercator would save a ton of user's compute time.

There are a bunch of us that talk web maping and imagery in the #maplibre and #imagery slack channels in OSMUS's slack [2]

Nix-Bitcoin: A collection of Nix packages for easily installing Bitcoin nodes
The fact that this is possible at all should be shocking. Unfortunately it’s old hat and needs to be made illegal, it easily breaks the 4th amendment.
That's amusing, as original fractal vise's from over 100 years ago (1913) can be found online, including restoration videos of very old ones. Someone trying to repatent such old tech sounds... dubious.
I would be expecting hourly notifications for the last 7 days if traffic is still detected.

I literally get more notification for DNS expirations (and those are scheduled and predictable).
Yes, when new technology comes you may need to upgrade. OpenAI aren't hero's but they are covering the cost to move people from old to new embedding models
I find the idea of using AWS for personal use absolutely terrifying. You are signing up for literally unlimited costs. If my site gets ddosed, I don’t want a $100,000 bill, I want the site to go offline.
Or maybe we could figure out a new economic model, instead of blindly sticking with one based on the limitations of the pre-digital age.
by the time you are removing multiple 45s you are already strong enough that it does not matter.
I'm surprised the employees of American-run airlines aren't demanding a tip to board the plane...

In all seriousness though, I've traveled between the US, EU, and Japan in the last 5 years, and haven't had any problems, luckily. The one place where I see the US really sucks compared to the others, though, is security: going through TSA is not a very nice experience, and having to take your shoes off is pretty stupid. And having to leave the line or throw your (reusable) water bottle away if there's water in it is idiotic, and only the US does that AFAICT. Going through security anyplace else is a much better experience. This of course is not the airlines' fault.

The other big difference between these places/flights I saw is what kind of passengers you're sharing the plane with; American passengers are more annoying to be around, in general. But that's not the airlines' fault either.
Ironic seeing such an aggressively unhelpful comment in this particular thread. Would it have killed you to include any detail at all, or an alternative explanation for the alerts?
Just say ""I appreciate your efforts, but no upselling, please.""
Thanks for checking it out! I hope it's useful.
> The AI is still doing the job in the real world of allocating resources, hiring and firing people, and so on.

When we have superintelligence, the AI is not going to a hire a lot of people, only fire them.

And I fully expect the technical platform it runs on 50 years after the last human engineer is fired, is going to be as incomprehensible to humans as the complete codebase of Google is to a regular 10-year-old, at best.

The "code" it would be running might include some code written in a human readable programming language, but would probably include A LOT of logic hidden deep inside neural networks with parameter spaces many orders of magnitude greater than GPT-4.

And on the hardware side, the situation would be similar. Chips created by superintelligent AGI's are likely to be just as difficult to reverse engineer as the neural networks that created them.
Most modern dedicated painting apps (Krita as an example) support continuous gamut masking. There are also several third-party pickers for non-dedicated apps (ex. Photoshop) that support it.
Does anyone have something like this for amd64 or aarch64?

Might be useful when I'm tinkering with my toy compiler.
That's because they modularized and stopped doing "katamari releases". The last X server release was in March 2023.
> Who needs teachers, then, if they are so ineffectual? Might as well replace them with a canned video course.

Replacing teachers by canned video courses does not a priori sound like a bad idea.

The central reason why this is not done is that school also serves as daycare, so you need some employees to supervise the children, i.e. removing the teachers will hardly decrease the employee count. All together, if we consider the additinal cost of creating the video courses, this measure would hardly decrease the cost of schooling. So politicians think "never change a running system" and "avoid the trouble with the teacher's unions" and leave everything as it is.
If a vendor can't properly notify me of major changes, I'm going to find a different vendor.

I have far bigger fish to fry than monitoring my inbox for shitty practices.
In exercise science there's a concept called specificty: training is more useful the more similar it is to the thing you're training for. If you're just training to make some parts of you bigger and others smaller, moving plates is still poor exercise because it's a variable movement that can lead to asymmetries or overuse injuries and can't be progressively overloaded.
Because I desperately wanted to create something, and because programming is, gloriously, the only black and white part of my life. I can make something work once, and know it will keep working. It’s under my control. Love that. Always have.
I wasn't trying to make an argument. I'm just really tired of clueless mansplaining internet randos talking down to experts, as if they'd never heard of Xcode build warnings, which is absurd and insulting.

It took me some time to track down the reference, but here's your argument:

> No, it’s not; the alert is the result of calling legacy CoreGraphics APIs rather than ScreenCaptureKit. Of course the fact that I had to learn this by reverse engineering replayd and locating “coreGraphicsCaptureAPINotificiationEnabled” (sic) is part of the problem. https://twitter.com/_saagarjha/status/1672855750862073856

There is a difference between bugs and attacks. I think we are trying to solve attacks here. In an attack, I might build an LLM targeting some service that uses LLMs to execute real world commands. Adding providence to LLMs seems like a reasonable layer of security.

Now we shouldn’t be letting a random blob of binary run commands though right? Well that is exactly what you are doing when you install say Chrome.
I used Influx Enterprise at a previous startup. Support was so bad after our first year we switched back to the OSS Influx and added HAProxy with manual replication and round robin load balanced. Was so much smoother, wish we had done that from the start since that was our original plan.
Operating cost of tractors and harvesters, etc, may fall dramatically, in fact, as battery powered operation is cheaper than diesel. Same for electric semi trucks.
I’m currently in the process of getting a whole home RO system to clean all this garbage out of my water, but I can’t do anything about the water my purchased fruits and vegetables are grown in nor the water the animals raised drinking.
Even his “stellar reviews” also contain a list of immediately planned mods. I think that’s his nature. He appears to love the purchase and not regret it at all, even despite the $2,500 price tag. He praised the tolerances and interchangeable parts, and he touted the connection he felt with the designer in China.
Presumably the thinking was it would raise brand awareness and sell Windows licenses. Schools in that era were also Mac heavy so focusing on PC toys was possibly a way to get kids into the MS ecosystem.
You refer to an old release model that was packing everything "X" into one thing. Nothing uses this release anymore.

After X11R7.7 the Xorg project changed its release model so that instead of making a single release that contained everything, it was split into separate packages each one having its own releases, versioning, etc and being independent from each other.

So depending on what you are looking for you'll get different results for the latest dates, though pretty much all of them would be more recent than 2012. For example when people mention "Xorg" they usually mean the standalone X server xorg-xserver. This had several releases this year with the last being xorg-server 21.1.8 released in March.
Plz fix all rain.
the fact that fatal car crashes are so common is precisely why you don't hear much about them on national news. But most local and regional news stations tend to cover car accidents rather often, if not daily in areas with lots of traffic reporting.
The further into the weeds you go with computer science, the harder it gets to find intuitive, tangible demonstrations. I love this as a simple, practical display of computer science principles. Similar to that "making change with as few coins as possible" problem every CS 101 class gives you, but much more sophisticated.
I feel a disconnect between what the writer probably wants to say (which is kinda meh...everyone's brain is different, good for the author if he found something he enjoys), and the actual argument they're pushing, which is more interesting to be honest.

> All engineers are good writers… of code.

> Writing is a way to organize your brain

> Writing is a way to learn something

> Writing helps you identify mistakes

> Remember–reading is a habit, writing is a skill. And in order to prefect your skill, you need to write more.

Basically, "write more code if you're good at it, you'll learn a lot, organize your brain, and improve your skills" is also a decent takeway from this.
There are already many more public domain books than people are inclined to read:

https://www.gutenberg.org/

https://librivox.org/

many of which form the basis for an education:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34630153

And most of which, when in copyright, paid their authors quite handsomely in terms of royalties.

If you believe that books should exist without copyright, then one has to ask --- how many books have you written which you have explicitly placed in the public domain? Or, how many authors have you patronized so as to fund their writing so that they can publish their works freely? Or, if neither of these applies, how do you propose to compensate authors for the efforts and labours of writing?
I totally agree. X11 is a tractor trying to be a supercar, a bus, an airplane, and a farm implement.

Can you separate just the parts that make X.org a display server from the parts that implement mouse input, keyboard language mapping, general-purpose IPC, 2D graphics drawing, font rendering, userspace graphics driver abstraction, joystick device handling, SPICE display driver, and three different 2D graphics acceleration APIs? Because then you might be able to make a comparison between X11 and Wayland.
It seems this probably happened due to some regulation or other. The sunset date for the service should have been a month prior so that influx could have kept the data legally until the 30th in case of this situation happening.

They wanted to have the euros flowing in right until the last minute.

1. Flash messages on all user facing consoles.
2. No new resource able to be created for 6 mo this.
3. Emails.
4. Service end date should have been at least a month prior to mandatory shut down.
5. Any people still running workloads in May should have had aggressive contact attempts made to ensure they were aware.
6. The console in the region should have switched to a final backup that can be exported by the user or moved to another region. This should have been available for 30 days.

You don’t do this because it’s fun, you do this because you need to save reputation. If I can’t trust you with business critical data then why would I use you for my critical business?

Also, as someone who works for a large enterprise, if you really believe email is the way to inform them of these changes, well I’d reconsider your beliefs.
I installed a reverse osmosis water filter at home, it's great for removing PFAS (https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/hazar...).

They can be expensive but it's worth it to have clean drinking water. Be sure to get one with a built in pump to maintain the right pressure on the membrane. I like the iSpring brand.
ChromeOS, Android, Windows, and Linux have almost all features I mentioned. But, I understand some don’t care.
In my experience, running X11 over a network worked very poorly.

There is significant overlap between former X11 developers and Wayland developers. They didn't drop it because they are incompetent which seems to be what your are implying. The people that decided to drop it are probably the people that know X11 the best.
Can I find out on Threads what happens to a man when his shirtsleeve gets caught in an industrial lathe?

Contrarians Are Usually Wrong
That screenshot of early Twitter reminded me of the naivety of the early social platforms. We used to just tweet or post any random thing that came into our heads, without worrying about it. No concerns over "how many likes will it get?" or "will I get dogpiled for saying this?". It was nice. Obviously doomed, but nice. I miss that naivety.
> Hello. Fires are dangerous. Here is how fire burns down a school. Thankfully, we've invented a fire extinguisher.

Heh. Shakedowns are a legitimate way of doing business these days. Invent the threat, sell the solution.

Sidestory: I'm convinced the weird "audio glitch" that hit American Airlines in 2022-09 was the work of a cybersecurity firm trying to drum up business for themselves. Their CEO (hello, David) had just a few months earlier personally submitted to AA's CEO a vaguely-worded and entirely-unverifiable incident report suggesting American's inflight wifi provider's payment portal or something had been compromised by The Chinese-- and blamed an unnamed flight attendant for destroying all evidence by forcing him to immediately shut down his laptop.

So no evidence, no screenshots, no artifacts verifying he was even on that flight, implied involvement of foreign boogeymen, adverse action taken by malicious/anonymous witnesses, and when pressed for technical details, the reporter dodged questions and feigned ignorance (when asked for his MAC address, he returned one for a virtual adapter and stopped responding). A few months later, AA has a public PA system incident that perplexed everyone and gets attributed to vague "mechanical failure." Could be coincidence, but everything about the former incident screamed of a cybersecurity vendor chasing sales by sowing unverifiable FUD in bad faith. I don't put it past them to engage in "harmless" sabotage.
This is just the user-space aspect of the modem, it still has a 40MB proprietary firmware blob that does all the fun stuff.

Everything I went to buy something. I told them I want to get X so they sat me down for a few minutes then I checked out for everything without explanation of the product.
The networking parts weren't used that much and due to the way modern apps work, I think the networked parts were essentially transferring images instead of graphics primitives. So it was essentially doing stuff that a remote desktop app does but with potentially more security issues (e.g. apps listening into keystrokes intended for other apps).
Complying with local regulations is hard enough in the USA, with many details differing per state. Complying with regulations in other countries/provinces is asking for trouble unless you have substantial legal help.
I think this is a good idea but for an odd reason. Like a subtext of this battle over Harvard specifically is not that people are in need of education but that they are in need of prestigious credentials. This is really what this is about. In some sense, having more schools to compete against Harvard might reduce the prestige Harvard has but that may not be what people actually want. They may actually want a system where two or three schools have an admissions rate of 1% because the people who get in will want to entrench their power.

I don't know if it's actually good for the US to have a secondary education system that is so cutthroat. It's just very polarizing and gives too much power to a handful of schools.
What is the actual risk of closed baseband with it's own cpu? Does it have access to the same memory as the OS kernel? If so, is it not possible to design SoCs/boards that have dedicated memory for the baseband so that the main OS can treat the baseband and data in its memory as untrusted?
I’ve noticed the “connoisseur” types seem to always be miserable. No product is ever good enough, everything has flaws and you always have to spend top dollar to still receive a flawed product.

I fell in to this trap previously. Spent $4000AUD on a huge OLED tv, then when I had to move it was too big to bring so I sold it and bought a similar sized IPS tv for $900. Realised that, yes, I can see the difference between an oled and an IPS tv, but I do not enjoy using it any less. I had spent an extra $3000 and got no extra enjoyment from it.
How many of these kids have read what percentage of the books which are legitimately freely available?

How the copyrighted work is reproduced is irrelevant wrt whether copyright is violated.

I suspect you would be held liable, though you would probably have a claim of your own to make against Adobe depending on the nature of the work in question.

"Errors and Ommisions" is a fairly standard name for the type of insurance you are thinking of. Typically, you would get it to cover you / your small business in the event that you, by mistake or minor negligence, caused harm to a client (i.e. a bug that cost them some sales).

I don't know the ins and outs of the insurance too well, but as long as it didn't create something super famous like the Nike swoosh, a genuine mistake through the use of an industry standard tool like Adobe might be covered.

what a dystopian article and idea. Homeowners should be prevented from sending Ring video footage to police because there is a risk that these videos might be used to report innocent racial minorities to the police. The presence of this risk apparently outweighs the obvious benefit that one can send videos of real criminals to police. What's next, not being able to call 911?

Criminals are victimizers, not victims. It is UNETHICAL to coerce people into not reporting a crime because of perceived identity-politics based risks. It causes increased harm in the world because criminals who escape are free to victimize again, and do. The authors of this article, and editors at Wired, are participating in unethical, immoral behavior and they should be ashamed of themselves!
It would be good to backup your claim with the exact location of their statement regarding Australia. I could not find it in the link your provided.
I've resorted to this level of debugging myself, but only in scripting type languages not requiring a recompile every time to test.

Yeah, we need something where the risk level is a little lower than the "it's a crime if I don't call the FBI and tell them I saw this" level.
Public domain would be fine, if we had the original copyright term instead of "life of the author plus seventy years."

Libby is an interesting option, though I'm curious how many kids in disadvantaged countries would actually have access to it.

Regarding Libgen, I'm not convinced it makes the case for modern copyright to say it's fine, because people can just violate copyright.

Dogs aren’t chosen, they were bred over thousands of years for the job.

The problem is that peoples assessments of whom is best suited to what doesn’t work with sentient humans as it does with pack animals or dogs. The conversation tends to degrade towards whatever social biases are held vs any meaningful assessment.

When those great minds of the 19th century were opining on this, they weren’t thinking about the stupid white/black/indigenous (with or without Hispanic) categories used in the United States. They wanted to make sure that Irish and Italian bumpkins stayed away from polite society - because they were poor and presumably unsuitable.
