I’m no doctor but I think the difference between a drug and a hormone is that a drug is a foreign substance you take to affect the way your body functions while a hormone is something produced endogenously to regulate various processes in the body.

People need to understand that melatonin is a hormone and that comes with different risks and issues than a drug.
Then why does bravebot obey robots.txt at all? It does, and it will respect blocks of ggoglebot, but it won't allow blocking just it or just googlebot.
While an undergraduate degree in physics puts them above the average person, it’s probably only slightly. The majority of undergraduate physics degrees do not touch on solid state physics or material sciences to this degree. It would be at best a single elective course. And even then in physics and the sciences the area of focus gets so specific I would be hesitant to trust even a graduate degree holder unless they went into that field.
I've never used Kubernetes in anger, for the stuff I do, I manage just fine with bare-metal hardware running services with systemd.

The (IMO very funny) comments here about k8s causing emotional damage, human rights violations and need to take drugs have reassured me that I should stick to my bare-metal. It is the way.
I'm not convinced that this even violates the spirit of the GPL.

Let's be honest here: Red Hat is still distributing the software widely, but it's making it hard to make exact Xeroxes of RHEL. That's a business problem, not a software freedom problem. CentOS Stream is, at least in my opinion, from a software freedom perspective just as good as RHEL.

You can use it, study it, change it, and redistribute it. AFAIK everything in RHEL makes it into Stream, albeit out of order and hard to re-assemble as an exact copy. But it's not like Red Hat is adding great features to RHEL that it denies to users of Stream.

Compare that to the Open Core folks who are trying to gang up on Red Hat now. There's the core version that has most of the functionality, and then the enterprise features are held back under non-free conditions. You have no recourse if you're using an open core product and they get bought up and the software is discontinued. You can't exercise the four freedoms to hire someone to maintain it for you or DIY it if you don't have the code.

But someday when Red Hat stops making RHEL you can still exercise the four freedoms and ask somebody else to do it for you or DIY it. To me, that's the spirit of the GPL - not that I'm entitled to undermine somebody's business by making exact Xerox copies of their software indefinitely.

OK, well the rest of us still have opinions and emotions and like to share them with other people, never mind your distaste. But thanks for sharing!
I just modified the Apollo app with my own personal API credentials and went on my way as if nothing happened.
Redhat can absolutely stop doing business with someone in a protected class. They can stop doing business with anyone in any protected class.

What they can't do is stop doing business with someone because they belong to a protected class.

You would have to argue that support of the GPL was a religious belief to gain such protections.
They aren't necessarily technically skilled, but they are often building the skills. Is literally how a lot of us got into computers. Did we actually understand what himem was? Not at all, but we could play with DOS and friends really well. :D

This is also an odd rabbit hole to fight about. I've had so many windows boxes that couldn't play games throughout the years that I've basically accepted that games programming is hard. :D
You're thinking of grsecurity, the out of tree Kernel patches from the folks who invented almost every major security mitigation in modern computers, who gave away their patches for free for decades, and then recently moved to only give away their stable patches to customers under the same contractual obligation.

Their customers are still entirely free to redistribute under the GPL but Grsecurity is not forced to take people who do so as customers.

It’s not about reaching everyone. It’s about not turning people off and attracting the otherwise predisposed. It only takes one sour comment to make the fud spread.
Maybe part of the problem is a lot of orgs are watching(and logging) your remote conversations with an all seeing eye. But they're not necessarily bugging your in person office?
First draft could mean a lot of things. If you mean something you write then rewrite before it's ever released, the same still kinda applies. You might be mid implementation when something changes and ruins whatever structure you had. Or maybe the abstractions aren't very obvious at first even if nothing is changing.
Just like there is a federal law that says you have a write to receive over the air communications, yet there are some states that stop you from driving while receiving those radio communications (i.e., they make radar detectors illegal in the car). The prohibition isn't on using a radar detector (you can walk around all you want with one), but against driving with one.
Are you sure about the recoil? After all, "vitamin" D is a hormone and it's also added to a lot of different foods. And it's also uncontrolled in usage and dosage...

"Oral administration of 1,000 mg a day of melatonin to five adults for 25 to 30 days resulted in drowsiness being noted as an adverse effect. There were no severe and/or irreversible impacts on clinical parameters (blood pressure, heart rate, ECG, serum chemistry, urine analysis) in these people."

It’s not a mistake. People who are pro-WFH are so dogmatic about it (and so protective of their “right” to WFH) that they intentionally reduce anyone who prefers working in an office to somebody with no social life.
My understanding is that the Nazis lost the technology war because their scientists weren’t given much power and didn’t have representation in high command like they did with the Allies. The Nazi politicians were deciding which technology to fund and their decisions were dumb. They lost air superiority at the end of the war because the Allies had better technology… that I know for sure.
Doesn't just go for software, but absolutely everything. A temporary solution is always the most permanent.
I missed that thanks for pointing it out.
That should be the absolute bare minimum expertise for a journalist to report on a technical matter.
> It's not yours, mine, or the government's job to prevent that.

That's where we disagree. A government's entire raison d' etre is to reasonably protect its citizens from harm, at least that's the conventional European ideal. And that includes keeping them safe from demagogues of all kind - I'm German, believe me if there's one thing we know it is just how much devastation it can bring in the end if left unchecked.

Americans see the world differently, but they haven't had a war on their home turf in like, what, 200 years (and haven't learned much of it either, given how absurdly popular Confederate flags seem to be). Here, we have people still alive who got shipped off to concentration camps in their youth!
> I think devs in general sweat too much about code quality

I think if they sweated a little more then poor quality code wouldn't find itself into the codebase.
«In most projects, the first system built is barely usable....Hence plan to throw one away; you will, anyhow.»

1975, fourty eight years ago, but worth repeating sometimes.
Usually I think it is unnecessary, but you might want to include the “/s” marker in this case. It is just close enough to believable that someone would think this, given the amount of insecure trash products that have been released…
Preaching the avoidance of a 20th potential co2 correlated mass extinction event may appear to be a valid first response to the actual environmental anxiety crisis many of us are experiencing, but this won't work, as we need more clarity and honesty, as we do need to face facts first.

The first fact is that we, individually and collectively, don't care. Given the chance, most of us would gladly live the shielded work from home air conditioned suburban suv life in some well irrigated arizonian gated community. We, as a species, are craving exactly that.

Second fact, polluting corporations and corrupted officials are only meeting demand. Everybody and their neighbors are demanding ever more fossil energy and mined minerals, like fuels, plastics, trips, entertainment and smart devices.

Third fact is my favourite: given the right circonstances, existential crisis are hugely profitable. Think of all these people who would sell a sibling for a chance at migrating to the first world. These people are all ripe for major exploitation, and luckily, some folks are already there to feed them lies and take their cash.

Fourth fact is the most amazing one: we could just end all the nonsense if we would just be content and stop demanding. Stop the crave. Stop envy. This is a crisis based on supply and demand. Just stop demanding for what you don't already have. Maybe start doing stuff yourself instead. Stop demand, supply will end.

Fifth fact, the most fascinating: nobody will stop demanding, quite the contrary. And we will most probably hit more than a wall.

Sixth fact: we will survive this. This is an experimentation in how far we can go given unlimited supply. The answer is: not far.
Game companies implicitly do this, throwing out old versions of their code (sort of). You make a game. Ship it. Start on a new game. Your previous game is now sort of a practice run for making a new game from scratch. Continue, ad infinitum.

It's weird: you rarely have to maintain something for 20+ years, and you get to always improve and iterate on how you did things last time. But, are you training yourself to write hard to maintain code, since you don't really have to maintain it past a certain period? Or does the learning-from-iteration actually make writing-maintainable-code easier?

I know some people do keep developing their games for decades, look at Dwarf Fortress, I'm just talking in general.
I think you missed the tongue-in-cheek tone of my comment, and the last paragraph.

Honestly I'd just date women if I dated because lack of experience is way more normal in the gay community for obvious reasons. I just realized around 29-30 that the time had passed for anything having to do with men. (I'm female.)

But 'deep dating pool', the homosexual life is not.

For the purposes of discussing the impact of an event we generally refer to the "excess death" metric rather than "direct" or "related deaths" which are very challenging to define and determine, as you stated.

In this context, whether the death was directly due to COVID or a consequence of health strain/policy decisions/phobia delaying care is irrelevant to the overall impact of the virus on the population.

> For example, the deaths in World War 2 jumps from ~53 million, up to ~80 million if we include "related" deaths (famine, etc). So, it is definitively not quibbling.

I don't understand what you think this "definitively" demonstrates? Non-combat fatalities is absolutely relevant and should be included when discussing the impact of WWII on the world population.

The statement that WWII killed ~80 million people is valid and accurate.

> If we're going by this mindset, then we have to agree that Roe v Wade is perhaps the one of the worst events in all of American history—contributing to more than 64 million American deaths (and still rising).

I'm assuming you're referring to 64 million abortions suggesting you believe a fetus is considered a human being. This is not the view of the scientific community, 36/50 US states and the vast majority of the international community so no we don't have to agree on that.
> For some reason, Tesla is surrounded by a cult of personality where it's not just a car, it's a lifestyle.

I've learned that travelling on the 1st class Eurail/Interrail ticket can end up cheaper than 2nd class, as some seat reservations will be free or cheaper in 1st class. Also, there are valuable 1st class perks such as free breakfasts, luggage storage etc. that can easily add up.
Going IPv6 only is a pain for sure but why not do dual stack and upgrade one by one and get comfortable with it first?
I'd like to add Robozzle as a suggestion, a robot (turtle like) programming puzzle game, available on both Android and iOS. While simple in operation, the puzzles quickly become very challenging. Stepping through the program execution, with the ability to set breakpoints on the playing grid, feels a little bit like debugging.

> Remote is better for collaboration and training.

Oh come on... I get arguing that there are ways to make remote training good enough. Maybe even similar. Maybe even a net-positive when you look at the entire picture (including the productivity and happiness of your senior staff). But saying remote is better for training specifically? No way. That makes no logical sense.
It is simple as in doesn't require expensive materials or tools or a particularly long process. It can nevertheless be tricky to execute correctly and depend on luck

No, if we had infinite resolution monitors we wouldn't need anti-aliasing.

You gotta bandlimit your signals or you'll see aliasing. That's just how signal processing works. Imagine if your audio player's output voltage jumped between 16bit levels instead of smoothly transitioning. It would sound horrible. That's how bad jaggies look to people who didn't grow up with slow computers
I can’t really think of any over eager findings in the past years. Plenty of fluffy university press releases and the perpetual 20 years from now. But this is the first fundamental breakthrough that has had any stick. Skepticism is always warranted but the other results like the university of Rochester superconductor was met with extreme skepticism at first (and has been shown to be warranted). Lk99 had the combination of big result, AND importantly “easily” testable, despite low yield rates.
That's the best part, great way to induce lucid dreams consistently.
In my experience, a quick decision is often a poor decision. Most of the time it’s suboptimal but occasional it’s outright damaging. Most places I’ve worked at, claim that decisions are reversible, but they aren’t. Unless a process or a piece of software is actively and visibly misbehaving, nobody refactors it.

There’s gotta be a balance between waterfall and fake agile, but I haven’t found it yet.
Try not paying a parking fine, and you might find you get “stolen from” without your consent by debt collectors, credit rating agencies (and the services you need that use those agencies), and finally the court system can steal from you. Do you think taxes are theft? Plenty of people would argue taxes are not consensual.

Words can mean whatever we want.

“Theft from the government” could be defined as someone being insufficiently civil, or someone showing insufficient altruism towards other citizens.
"By amateurs" is a really bizarre label to hit Python with.
I don't get how you can understand LLMs enough to confidently say stuff like this, but not understand how many different ways the article is eyerollingly stupid:

They're conflating ChatGPT the website with the underlying model, the former of which uses a system prompt that changes significantly over time, completely independently of AI alignment. Their recent custom system prompt change confirms what everyone suspected: they've been running around like chickens without heads trying to tweak that prompt to make everyone happy, but you can never have a default that achieves that.

It also uses summarization to enable long chats... sometimes causing lay people to claim it got worse or forgot how to do X in a single conversation when really their original instructions have long left the context window.

-

And the fact they're judging it on it's ability to do "basic math" in the context window when the only actual update to the underlying model was centered around making function calling more reliable...

I mean the code interpreter is now live, it makes ChatGPT brilliant at basic math and a hell of a lot more than that. Basic math isn't basic for an attention based model.
I like the idea of “Spike and Stabilise”.

Which means, prototyping in this way, but at the point it is actually delivering value, stabilise.

Of course, it’s never as simple as that, but there’s certainly a place for this technique.
Yeah, this thread is a somewhat strange read. People don't seem to understand what "draft" or "prototype" means. Odd.

Rape is only fifty silver shekels

Yeah Man, Ban It

Ezekiel 23:19-21

"There she had longed for her lovers. Their private parts seemed as big as those of donkeys. And their flow of semen appeared to be as much as that of horses. You longed for the time when you first became impure in Egypt. That was when you allowed your breasts to be kissed. And you permitted your young breasts to be touched.”

Deuteronomy 22:23-24

“If there is a girl who is a virgin engaged to a man, and another man finds her in the city and lies with her, then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city and you shall stone them to death; the girl, because she did not cry out in the city, and the man, because he has violated his neighbor’s wife. Thus you shall purge the evil from among you.

------ Pretty Harsh - we'll be killing a lot of people to comply with this law. Dead.

Leviticus 20:10

“If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

---- No Bad Words, or you are Dead.

Leviticus 24:13-14

"Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then let all the congregation stone him."

----- Wave the bloody Sheet or, Dead.

And father fined.

Deuteronomy 22:20

"But here is the proof of my daughter’s virginity.” Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town, 18and the elders shall take the man and punish him. 19They shall fine him a hundred shekels b of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives. If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. You must purge the evil from among you."

------- Women are property, and the Bible lists a price sheet. Rape is just fifty silver shekels. Not dead, but now married because you were raped.

Deuteronomy 28

"If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29he shall pay her father fifty shekels c of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives."

Do you have a source on Apple working to turn macOS into a proper microkernel? Couldn't find anything. Certainly Mach is a microkernel, but Darwin very much isn't. I do know that Apple has worked to expose some kernel-level hardware interfacing features in safer ways than giving full kernel extension access, but otherwise that's it?

As noted in the linked page, this is very similar to the HHKB layout, which is far and away my personal favorite. This is also basically the layout I use on my 65% boards and is my second favorite.

I don't really have much of a need for a left Fn or physical arrow keys. In fact for the latter I find HHKB layered arrows more comfortable, especially when using the various macOS text navigation shortcuts, because it requires notably less hand movement.

I use that, but unfortunately it's not that easy (also I'm pretty sure it's not KDE-specific - most keyboard stuff even works in the console!).

Let's use `xev`'s `state` field for reference:

First, `state & 0x10` is NumLock which is the only modifier that's often set. Software knows to mask out this and a couple other modifiers when dispatching keyboard shortcuts.

Second, `state & 0x02` is CapsLock. Software that detects CapsLock as a modifier will work correctly with double-shift-as-capslock.

Unfortunately, `state & 0x01` is Shift. Software that reads CapsLock as a keysym (often e.g. games that use it as a "turbo" toggle) will often fail, because when double-shift is pressed, the shift modifier has been set. And it's generally considered a bug to ignore modifiers when dispatching keyboard events.

Unfortunately, there is no event for just "`state` changed", it is only dispatched alongside some other mouse/keyboard event. If you press just `shift` you'll see that it doesn't update yet for the just-pressed key (and fundamentally cannot due to how it has to work to switch between keycode->keysym mappings).
