The WEF puts a lot of work into creating outcomes that track with its philosophies; it is playing the long game and strategic decisions -are- being made at get-togethers like Davos. Potential Young Global Leaders are vetted and recruited, among other things.

Klaus Schwab, 2007:
“What we are really proud of now, is the young generation. Like Prime Minister Trudeau, the President of Argentina, and so on. So we penetrate the cabinets. So yesterday, I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau, and I know that half of this cabinet, or even more than half of this cabinet, are actually Young Global Leaders of the world.”

From the WEF Young Global Leaders website:
"Our growing membership of more than 1,400 members and alumni... Aligned with the World Economic Forum’s mission, we seek to drive public-private co-operation in the global public interest."

I'd like to know exactly what Klaus and the WEF leadership consider to be "global public interest".

I've listened to several speeches from both him and his advisor Yuval Harari and at first glance Klaus's preference seems like some version of tightly controlled, top-down corporatism.

I found a number of statements made by Harari to be particularly disturbing, including one he made in a session (paraphrased here) that they don't need most of us (which begs the question who the "public" is in "global public interest"). If you hold that personal opinion, fine, but when you're closely allied with an organization whose stated intention is to reshape how the world works, that places the "opinion" into a different context, regardless of whether it could be acted upon or not. There's more from him about genetic superiority, blah blah... In my opinion, he's a scary guy.
Fascinating comment...but whats preventing China from performing the same actions against EU or American rivals? Surely the second biggest economy has the "potential" capability to damage their rivals in similar ways no?
I fear the Amish would quickly get invaded when food gets tight. The Sentinel island people might have a better shot, since they are out on an island. Or the groups deep in the Amazon jungle.
What's also not added in to the revenue estimates is Jasper and other AI writers that use GPT under the hood.
You could probably put the disks in an enclosure and then you'd only have 1, maybe 2 items to carry around.
I guess it's not possible to design a tea bag that's not made out of plastic but that can also survive the boiling hot temperatures?
That's a good point. The author should have mentioned the more robust standard library, high package quality and package stability, helpful community, and simpler/predictable hosting solutions.

Yeah, that is huge. DLSS/XeSS/FSR is such a pain because the majority of good games don't support it.

For instance, I want to play Ixion on my modest RTX 2060 laptop, and DLSS support is planned, but apparently the devs can't work out how to add it in.

In fact, I just picked up a used 3090 for ML experimentation (and some gaming), but this would have been enough to push me to a 7900 XTX, even with ROCm's headaches.
How does it perform in the real world, where water is contaminated with far more than microplastic - is this filter selective for plastic or will it get gummed up by literally anything?

Is the solution scalable? What does it cost?
While i rally appreciate the effort and am astounded that they already have the pledge of 10 Full time engineers for 5 years I am left wondering 2 things:

A) This could easily be a another reddit moment, where corps and actual bill payers will forget about it in two weeks since it simply -does not concern them-. The supporting list mostly consists of actual competitors.

B) If they can manage all these resources, why can we just simply not do something new along the way? Terraform has its flaws and everyone that seriously had to worked with it can name many.

For instance: Did you know that you cant easily shut down a server when deleting a terraform resource? At least not without hacks or workarounds?

Its time for a "cloud-init native" solution to all these problems and while appreciating the effort i think this fork will actually hinder future development by having things remain the same.

- Cluster Api all the way -
Why do we have to feed the input back? Why doesn’t it do it itself?

Maybe it’s because it can’t tell when it’s wrong and needs to “try again”, and we have to do it for them.
FERPA is older than HIPAA, but only covers education, so not as noticable for young adults. It's very strict on who can view and share student information, and how to opt out of directories, etc.

I was just talking to someone about this exact same thing yesterday and I also made the comment "I'm not sure if they changed or I did".

For twenty years I consumed hours of NPR content per day and was even a contributor, but now I can't stand NPR.
ElementaryOS is very polished aesthetically and I love that they didn't jump aboard the "flat rectangles and monochrome icons" bandwagon like everybody else, but the way they went along with the various functionality-limiting GNOME conventions like replacing proper menubars with hamburger menus and hiding the minimize button is disappointing.
Why not both? Store it locally for ease of access, maybe with a solid state cache, backup in the cloud for durability. Storage is cheap nowadays. The more interesting question is availability - at the current HDD sizes, "classic" RAID is not sufficient.
Free-form radio is still alive and well. https://wfmu.org is a monster in the field as well as a leader in live radio innovation. Their live commenting, archive, and multi-headed station broadcasts, are all remarkable achievements in both technology and community building. I'll give a shout for my two favorite shows, but there are dozens worth tuning in for:

Serious Moonlight Sonatas - https://www.wfmu.org/playlists/MJ

Techtonic - https://www.wfmu.org/playlists/TD

And a bonus: Radio Ravioli - https://www.wfmu.org/playlists/OB

WFMO out of Tuft's has some great stuff as do MANY Northeast colleges.

Even tiny schools like KUPS have some interesting shows.

The days of WBCN from the 60s-70s will be missed (if they are gone), but there's no reason why these things can't happen again. It isn't like there aren't great things to share and talk about it.
Economic leadership is usually based on having been a copycat before and ignoring protective laws.

The US did it, Germany did it, Japan did it, China did it.
I find it distressing how centrist streaming services are. Whatever seed I ask for, there's like 60 bands that are very likely to populate half the generated playlist.

Most commercial radio is very boring & normative. But gee there are so many stations out there that are independent or community run, where people are out there with interesting vibes & picking select music styles to play. So many stations that try to increase exposure. Which is so unlike what I find on streaming services.

I also deeply miss shoutcast being a vibrant place. Chromewaves Radio had amazing surf/punk vibes. Amazing reggae and electronica stations galore. There's still some life yes, but it's a mere glimmer of what it was.
There's no conceivable way LibreOffice's character set-handling code is OS-dependent.

And if it somehow were related, that would be an even stronger indicator of immaturity and poor code quality than its half-baked support of an older character set.

Nevertheless, here it is on Windows 11. I also zoomed in and changed the font, and you can clearly see that LibreOffice just doesn't know what to do with angle quotes in CP708.

Not arguing. But in practice there’s some number of large orgs hostile to GPL (which strikes me as bass-ackwards, but there you have it).
Great books!

Sometimes a Great Notion was also a decent film starring Paul Newman.
I’ve experienced this.
They said the timestamp was stripped, so we can't see what was actually submitted.
It also feeds into this idea that you can prepare for the worst, but the human condition when pushed to its limits does not abide by rules.

Everyone loves to think about how they'll handle attackers, but never spend much time thinking about the lack of sleep and how that'll severely impact them. Never how much isolation will destroy so much of their mental state.

Popular media influence of lone wolves surviving and other such content can really prevent people from being aware of the realities of such collapse I suppose!
Hmm, well done sir

That bubble never had a chance!

There have been similar issues with this promising approach: https://www.freethink.com/environment/plastic-eating-bacteri...

Personally I often wonder why things like the seaweed for cows that reduces methane emissions by 99% is not everywhere by now, and we are resorting to masks to trap gases from their breathing and farts.
Don't they mostly buy HP? For example, I remember see HP trash sitting on the desk in that famous Bin Laden raid photo.
Tl;dr: "I would like to justify my decision to dump the GPL for money."
My notes (Emacs/org-mode/org-roam/attachments/agenda and so on) makes me able to find anything at my fingertips without traversing a filesystem, carefully storing files in a hyper-curated hierarchy etc, ultimately they made my life easier, more productive.

In smartness terms they give me:

- good reference when I need them

- details on something when I want

My brain is still the same, no IT tool so far can extend my neural processing, but the overall results are pretty positive.

My note against much other "apps" is:

- not integrated with anything else, so you can't link things like mail, financial transactions etc

- not easy to run automation on top of notes (something more complex than simple agenda reminder)

That's not much a "note app" issue but a system design issue. Emacs is a fully integrated tool, like classical systems, in the modern era for business reasons anything is just an isle with all the flexibility and usability issue of the case.
is there an issue where one could track its progress, and whatever leases you're intending to support?

My personal use cases are PG and SSH CA leases (err, back when I used SSH :-D but I'm guessing that's still a non-zero audience)
Didn't grow up with Apple 2, sadly! So I have to ask. The text in the OP is hard-wrapped to 40 characters. So did Apple 2 support 40 character width screen?
Advertising anything as "unlimited" when you obviously can't provide an unlimited amount of it should be illegal.
I'm a fan of garden radio for anyone who hasn't used, always fun to tune in to radio stations from other side of the world.
It could be using git submodules or tags. That isn't very concerning.
This is one of the better corporate communications on a price increase I've seen. Clear reasoning that makes sense and seems reasonable.
Interesting. Has it been more advantageous financially?
> It’s ironic that an Indian author would, I believe, have no trouble writing a story about an American who took care of fifty cats, but the reverse situation is considered racist or bigoted.

People are still saying this kind of thing in 2023? It only seems ironic if you have a naive, 2015-era understanding of wokeness. In reality, it's in perfect harmony with the principles of wokeness and should be viewed by no one as ironic, contradictory, or surprising.

The core principle of wokeness is not "races should be treated equally," but rather "white bad, black good." Take a set of controversial issues and try using each of these principles to predict the woke position. Your predictions will be far better using the latter.

With that context in mind, of course an Indian man will face fewer restrictions than a white man in getting published. How is it ironic or noteworthy?

Why does a simple blog post take so long to load that it warrants a loading animation?
I'm curious about this line:

As a company and a real legal entity, we would have recourse if something like AWS/Elasticsearch were to happen

What does that mean? Didn't AWS just take advantage of the terms of the license and do something they were allowed to, couldn't the same thing happen here? What recourse would there be?
Do you know how that non commercial license differs from BSL? I’m getting ready to release a product and trying to figure out licensing.
That makes sense, but isn't this a matter of presenting it with more models? Maybe a physical model discovered via video or something like that? Then it will be similar to what babies are trained with, images and sound. Tactile and olfactory would be similar.

By doing this you'd glue the words to sights, sounds, smells, etc.

But it also seems like this is already someone has thought of and is being explored.
I think it is not apathy, but learned helplessness. People tried to change things and they got nothing. I care about this a lot, but I don't know what to do. The current UK government is openly corrupt, people know it, people want them out, but the best we could do is to get rid of Boris. And that barely moved the needle. We have the climate change crisis and the eco-protests achieved pretty much nothing.
> Correctly installed, rye will automatically pick up the right Python without manually activating the virtualenv. That is enabled by having ~/.rye/shims at higher priority in your PATH.

I dislike this pattern. I don't want every language/tool manager in my PATH all the time. I much prefer the direnv. I hook only direnv into my shell. Then I can do what I need with an `.envrc` in each project directory.
The RISC-V port is marked as TBA, too.
Even if this doesn’t go anywhere (due to economics or funding or red tape or whatever), the best parts of this is we know people are actually working to resolve this issue and are making progress.
Llama.cpp Supports Falcon Now
Thanks for weighing in—It is true that I was diagnosed last year, but that is most definitely not when my journey started. I grew up in an asian family as a "3rd culture kid", I'm also queer and came out in 2017, so things like getting diagnosed, etc., is not a simple process when you layer in cultural & family dynamics. We're working hard to get plugged in as part of the support system with professionals, and already are recommended by several psychiatrists and therapists. However, as discussed in earlier threads, we are not "treatment" and do not provide medical advice. If you ever change your mind and want a free consultation, don't hesitate to e-mail us! And agree on great psychologists being able to do that is rare!
People are upset that they can't profit off your labor without a license? Those don't sound like open source purists to me. They sound like straight up thieves lol.
> And last I saw the Russian currency was doing great

Was last you checked a little over a year ago, by any chance?

Because more recently, that doesn't seem to be true.
Blaming crypto for this change is absurd. They could easily detect and shut down those accounts if they wanted to.
I just use a plain git repository with markdown files, structured hierarchically. Total freedom of how to organize things, and I can work with the tools I like (git/terminal text editor).
The Deceptive Fantasy Behind LLaMA-2 and Other Open-Source AI
The posted article is all about "Legacy GRUB".

GRUB2 has some similarities but I still preferred to use the Stage 1 sector as a "downstream" VBR rather than MBR. I wanted to keep the original DOS or Windows MBR in place on sector 0, since it reliably jumps to the VBR ("boot sector") of whichever primary partition is marked Active at the time.

Each of the partitions can then contain a different OS completely independently, accessible from any bootmenu you "install" to any of the possible primary partitions. Or even on the primary partitions you could just put the OS's alone without any boot files, like is done on the logical (non-primary) partitions, in that case the boot loader, boot files, and boot menu themselves could be on a separate drive like a floppy.

Using GRUB Stage 1 as an MBR was mainly for overcoming difficulties when wrestling absolute boot control from a DOS-based PC since the standard DOS/Windows MBR jumped directly to the active partition's VBR and a DOS/Windows9x VBR would not boot Linux.

Alternatively with an NT5 VBR/bootloader you can boot Linux since you have boot.ini and other than booting directly to an NT5 system, you can configure boot.ini to jump to a file on a FAT or NTFS filesystem and the file can be a copy of a DOS VBR (usually named bootsect.dos), which would then allow an NT system to boot back to DOS or W9x residing on a FAT filesystem somewhere accessible. Then when Grub Stage 1 (or more) is present on the FAT or NTFS filesystem in the form of a file itself (call it bootsect.lin) it could be put on the boot.ini bootmenu right next to the DOS & NT(ARC) boot options, and it boots Linux from the partition having the grub VBR which had been captured as bootsect.lin.

Grub Stage 1 either proceeds to the very next sector or jumps directly to the defined location of its next stage and then proceeds until it displays (or not if there is not more than one OS) its routine bootmenu showing the OS's that it has been configured to boot from using the particular grub.cfg file being accessed at the time.

Up until UEFI you have been able to boot Linux from an NT bootloader, even up to Windows 10 when it's installed on an MBR/BIOS HDD layout, so I preferred to use a Windows bootloader for everything. Now with the UEFI/GPT approach the NT6 bootloader will not boot Linux so something other than Windows (like GRUB2) needs to be the bootloader which can boot Linux as well as Windows.
It's definitely possible, many tea bags do not contain plastics, and are instead made of cotton, hemp, or other non-hazardous materials.

Others got the same (or better) deal no?
I was scubadiving when I was young, and so trained myself to hold my breath for long periods of time underwater (multiple minutes). In parallel, I was taking improv classes and had a lot of breathing exercises to focus and relax.
As a result today, every breath I take is unconsciously a deep and long breath, so much that the noise of the air going through my nose sometimes bothers my wife, but also when I'm falling asleep, I sometimes unconsciously hold my breath for up to one minute and it relaxes me and helps me falling asleep... I also suffer from sleep apnea and have had a CPAP for a few months now, but that at least isn't linked to any of this.

What I guess I mean is that as far as I know, I breath healthily, don't suffer from anxiety (not more than any other dude at least), and unconscious apneas are for me a way to relax.
> Advertising anything as "unlimited" when you obviously can't provide an unlimited amount of it should be illegal

What could one provide an infinite amount of? Shouldn't that empty set inform the reasonable interpretation of "unlimited" in this context?

No. Just spread anime and K-drama, and our birth rates will drop to match theirs.
Ubuntu with it's push toward snap have finally let down ALL real users, the first move was unity.

So Ubuntu now is just a "goto" for newbies not anymore "something good for both expert and newcomer" so have a fate already depicted. Sorry.

> They could be focusing on the licence and their perception of Hashicorp

They literally do:

"HashiCorp even had all contributors sign a CLA which explicitly said (link to the CLA in the Internet Archive as HashiCorp has of course removed this wording): [...]

The move to BUSL—which is not a free and open source license—broke the implicit contract. That was the brash action!

Terraform would've never gotten the adoption it did, or all the contributions from the community had it not been open source. Most of us would've never agreed to the CLA to contribute to the project if it was BUSL licensed. Taking all those contributions and all that community trust, and then changing to the BUSL license is a bait and switch." [1]

I agree with the overall sentiment, but they could've left out all the judging side comments.

I graduated from college because a classmate took notes.

I rarely ever attended class in my major. I was notorious for it. I had 3 jobs. I would ride the bus an hour and a half to school and spend most days sleeping in the student union. I'd go xerox her notes right before the test, study them a few times during lunch breaks and afterward at work, and then go take the exams.

She took such good notes that I almost always had higher grades than she did. Studying notes is more important than taking them, but having great notes means As if you understand what you're reading.
Personally speaking, I wish it had been OpenInfra.

I think they have a stronger sense of community building, and more more intentionally make space for individuals to take leadership roles that are truly independent from their employer (member company) affiliations.
You can get pretty close to the end of a project before you really understand what it was you were trying to do. Especially if management is allowed to keep moving things on you. I think this is substantially the instinct that leads to Waterfall. I just want to know what I'm supposed to be building for a while before you 'ruin' it.
That has definitely been my experience. There's been a good number of times I end up gluing things together with ZeroMQ and SQS and Redis where I start thinking "you know this would have been easier to get an equivalent (or better) product in Erlang".

Sadly, I've only ever had one job at a shady startup that used Erlang; I would love to work for a company that sees its power, but sadly it seems that everyone who has not drunk the Erlang koolade thinks that Go is a suitable replacement.
