I feel like Maven is doomed by its history. When Maven was created, expressing dependencies with version ranges was encouraged. But there was no lockfile concept, so that did not work well. Instead of adding lockfiles, they decided to leave the tool as it was but encourage people not to use dependency ranges. But dependency ranges are still supported, so you need a plugin to check your POM files and make sure you aren't using them. Dependency resolution is recursive, so indirect dependencies might still use version ranges, so you need a plugin to detect those ambiguities so you can pin those versions yourself in your own POM. If, despite your best efforts, you end up with an indirect dependency being specified with two different versions, Maven doesn't mind that at all (by default, if will package both, and leave it up to chance which one gets loaded at runtime)[0] so you need a plugin to detect that situation as well.

To sum up, we realized the default behavior was wrong over a decade ago, but rather than change the default behavior of the tool, maybe add a new version of POM files where sanity is the default (it's a versioned format! c'mon!) or a new non-XML file format that triggers a new mode of operation, they stuck with the legacy behavior, forcing every new project to include a bunch of XML boilerplate just to get the behavior that they realized should have been the default 15+ years ago.

That was the situation last time I used Maven, anyway. I'd love to hear that Maven has since added a new mode of operation that is sane by default, without needing extra plugins and configuration, and doesn't use XML.

I can't comment on Gradle. I've worked on a couple of Gradle projects, and the build files were a mess, but I don't know if they needed to be a mess or it was just bad luck.

[0] Actually I don't remember if the default is to pick a version at build time or to package both, but I know the latter is possible because I saw it cause many production issues before we configured a plugin to prevent it.
There is a vast difference in the realism of the end product, or type of end product in the case of a deepfake video where it is not just a static frame like a magazine.
1. I think most traditional approaches to epistemology disagree with you.

2. Doesn't the same logic apply to basically everything else? It doesn't rely on any specific properties of the brain.

3. Replace an arm by a car. Would a person sitting at the steering wheel of a car be different from the same person outside of it? If no, then what's the salient difference between an arm and a car?
The problem is program executables are signed with digital certificates. So long as they were signed during the valid certificate period, they are supposed to remain signed forever. Revoking an expired base certificate like this is a huge deal and breaks a lot of software.

Airlock is security software. It's not their stuff that is failing -- they are dealing with reports about the issue and letting the world know what they've found.
I believe it’s less related to stress and more related to a predatory response.

Halting breathing is a great way to avoid movement when intently focusing on prey (look at cats who do the same thing, although they do have to wobble their heads a little to develop a 3d distance)

I know a lot of people want to dismiss our predatory past but it’s there, and I’m sure reading (especially emails, comments etc) specifically looking for information to “prey” on triggers that same response.
Yet, it still doesn't address the core issue, tax avoidance by the wealthy.

Further, implementing a road tax would require cumbersome monitoring generally (and especially if making it progressive) or, if equally treated, would be horribly regressive.
They represent a real risk to the AI ecosystem IMO (or opportunity if you're an investor). They have really cornered the market on model hosting as well as frameworks for running them, it's going to get ugly when they start turning the screws.

I think it's important for people to diversify away from them and not build anything that uniquely depends on them. It's not good to have chokepoints like this.
It's weird how personal this is. Sometimes I wonder if it comes down to familiarity.

I've been using Python professionally since 2000 and have never run into issues with its tooling. It's even easier these days: "python -m venv" and then pip are all I need in 99% of use cases. For local development I use direnv + pyenv. I typically develop on macOS and deploy to either macOS or Linux. I previously gave pipenv a try but found it to be brittle and more trouble than it was worth. I haven't used poetry just because I haven't had the need.

Conversely, I regularly run into trouble with ruby. Here's a recent example where I had to contribute a patch to pre-commit to get ruby to install gems where pre-commit wanted it to:

https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit/pull/2905

I got so annoyed with bundler I wrote a simple shell script to provide the moral equivalent of Python venvs to gem:

https://gist.github.com/jaysoffian/3c67711d3f00c364365905d87...

All that said, these are just minor annoyances. The only tooling I truly despise is Gradle and especially everything around the Android Gradle Plugin.
>If I use my phone to read the menu I’m also seeing notifications, they may distract me even if only by making me think about them.

This is my concern as well. When someone is at a table with people, put the damn phone away and actually be present for those around you.

QR code menus make "phones out" the default state of a table. So of course people will get distracted and split their attention between notifications and those around them.
I think you're making a lot of assumptions about someone you've never met and know nothing about.

It divides people into "primitive" and "civilized", which delineates an ingroup and outgroup;

Right, in the context of "look at us poor pathetic civilized people whose broken bodies need this apparatus to reproduce unlike those strong primitives who can do it in the normal way.
Why Did OpenTelemetry Ditch Black-Box Tests?
Interesting, they just gobbled up the Mint Mobile MVNO for something like 1.35B which was already using their network and of course there's the Sprint for 26B and now are cutting jobs to save half that.

I wonder how much of this is the articles cable company wireless deals, and more just consolidation of jobs around the new megaco they've created.

In late 2020 I committed to only taking cold showers. I note several upsides after nearly three years of this:

- easier to forego caffeine, as cold water in the morning leaves me wide awake

- easier to use less water, in part because it's so easy to get out of the shower into a warmer environment

- mental health benefits, including increased confidence dealing with things I don't want to do but which are my adult duties- cold showers have helped me grow up

- my skin is healthier; I'm no longer soaping and heating away my natural oils (I only use soap if I'm actually dirty, though of course I still soap my hands throughout the day for food prep, etc), and maybe the constriction helps with lymph flow? Dunno about that, but my skin feels good these days, except my arms and hands, which get a lot of sun (and so I've been using sunscreen more often, moisturizing with olive & coconut oils, wearing long sleeves, staying in the shade, and spending more outside time in the morning and evening).

Massage is great, too, from oneself and/or another person; take some time moisturizing and applying different levels of pressure- an aunt said lymphatic massage is a light touch, not felt in the muscles. I don't take all her advice, mind, but it does feel good to be kind to my skin.

Edit to add: oh and pat down to dry off, rather than rubbing with a towel, so as not to remove oil. On the other hand, is it helpful to speed exfoliation? Maybe only if there's flaking dry skin, which needs more intensive care anyway? My understanding is that our skin sloughs off naturally and generally doesn't need extra help, depending on the individual.
That's not a business strategy.

Likely this is driven by ego.

Yann wants to cement his position as a leader in AI and while he clearly does not appreciate LLMS at all, he realizes that he needs to make waves in this area.

Mark needs a generative product and has invested tremendously in the infrastructure for AI in general (for recommendation). He needs researchers to use that infrastructure to create a generative product(s).

Yann sees this going on, realizes that he has a very powerful (research+recruiting) position and tells mark that he will only sign on if Meta gives away a good deal of research and Mark concedes, with the condition that he wants his generative product by end of 2023 or start of 2024.
I always assumed moisturizer was mostly a cosmetic benefit, maybe feels a little better or prevents cracking in super dry weather.
You responded to a comment about that sort of bullying with a comment along the lines of "Working with women can be a minefield". It felt like a weird juxtaposition to me.

Personally, being falsely accused of rape is not something I've ever spent time worrying about because it's not happened to me, anyone I know, or - to my knowledge - any friends-of-friends.

The odd case is reported in the news from time to time - but who knows why particular stories get picked up by the media [0]. Paying attention to that stuff gives you distorted sense of how likely something is, by providing a bunch of bogus input to the brain's availability heuristic [1].

Once again, the scale changes things.

The fact that I can get a 210+ Mbps bandwidth[1] for a monthly cost comparable to the cheapest alternative ISP available to me (which forces 10 Mbps cap on me)?

How much would it cost to blast that speed for 24 hours on Iridium? Trick question, Iridium is "176 Kbps to 704 Kbps"!

[1]: Just ran a speed test for that number, it's actual not theoretical.
So now you want the law further involved in pornography? Will fine print save someone's reputation like that? If people are distributing for malicious reasons, they aren't going to follow rules.
Lots of good stuff here, but funny to think/remember(?) that movies going 3D was an expectation at the time and (rightly) a concern of his.
It's probably same as the ones that hang from the car's seats. Someone hanging it on the window to take a picture or whatever seems likely, maybe even advertised, but that doesn't mean anyone was driving with it that way.

I hope not, anyway.
>The use of a discrete (physical) TPM actually decreases the security of the system, using a fTPM would solve the problem.

Errr... no. Using no TPM of any kind decreases your security.

The discrete TPM's threat model was never designed to cover you from attackers using oscilloscope to probe your laptop's SPI bus during the boot process for unencrypted data.

Unencrypted communications over any channel, SW or HW are bad and dTPM never claimed it would protect you from that, but it's still better than no-TPM, and have your keys in system memory or on the disk where it could be accessed through software vulnerabilities.

Of course fTPM, is the next step up in security, even though that's also not impenetrable to attackers with the right side channel analysis equipment and expertise, but security threat model is anyway a matter of time and budget of your attackers, nothing can ever be 100% invulnerable to everything.

> When you publish a work, you inherently grant permission for others to use it in various ways, including fair use and reuse

This is conceptually backwards.

In general, you have the right to do anything not constrained by law. Copyright is one such constraint, but fair use is carved out from copyright and specifically not included in copyright protection. Ergo, you don't need to do anything to have the right to fair use.

This means that publication is irrelevant. Even if a work isn't published, and you just happen to find it under someone else's couch cushions, you have the right to make fair use of it.

Of course, as goes without saying, fair use is quite limited, and the creator retains copyright and other rights (moral, etc.).

(None of the above is legal advice.)

> How can both views be correct?

They aren't. Your view is correct, at least according to our best current model of the universe.

I suspect that your wife is misinterpreting the articles she is reading; I suspect they are saying only that our current observable universe, which is finite in size, started out as a single point. Which is sort of correct, but is not the same as saying the entire spatially infinite universe started out as a single point.

Part of the problem here is that the "initial singularity" in the models being described (which is where the "single point" language comes from) is not actually part of the universe; it's a mathematical limit that does not actually correspond to anything physical.

> Either the universe isn’t infinite, and therefore has some kind of edge

The "edge" part is not correct. A spatially infinite universe would have the spatial topology of a 3-sphere, which has a finite volume bot no edge (just as the 2-sphere surface of our Earth has a finite area but no edge).

Since only dTPM can be FIPS certified, I don't see how an uncertifiable piece of hardware can be more secure.
The potential to game things exists everywhere. Tax CO2 and people will want to find ways to technically reduce CO2.

For example, what if it becomes cheap enough to just convert all the CO2 to CO and we dump masses of carbon monoxide into the atmosphere instead? Or if its cheaper to convert CO2 to CO3 which imminently degrades back to CO2 in the atmosphere - would we be confident that the tax law would correctly handle this scenario where the emissions are technically a different substance? Etc..

> I feel like a lot of the concerns around this are already covered by image and likeness restrictions.

Image and likeness restrictions are, in most cases in the US, commercial trade restrictions; some non-trade abuses might instead be covered by defamation, but there is a reason that states (and countries with sinilar basic legal systems to the US) have started adopting deepfake-specific laws, because they aren't well covered by existing laws in general.
> Libraries don't declare version ranges for their transitive dependencies

That's the behavior that Maven itself recommends, so Maven is at least part of the problem.

Maven could also sanity-check your build for these issues by default, but it doesn't; it leaves that up to plugins, which you have to configure (in XML) in your build file every time you set up a new project.
Next someone will discover that fan fiction exists. Worst! has existed for many years and names, describes and stages actual living personalities.

If anything, artists among that bunch were fast to get really good with their tools. To the point that it seems the only reason to restrict an image to one person's likeness is to satisfy a fetish in that one person. Or revenge porn or similar evil plans.

The artists might want to pay attention to not inadvertently optimize an image "back down" to one person's likeness but that doesn't seem too difficult.

Ask HN: Can fake mobile cell tower install an app on the phone?
Android-IMSI-Catcher-Detector [1] claims to prevent silent app installation through GTalkService, in this issue [2] from 2014. However I can't find any other source confirming this is possible. So is it probable to force remote install with fake cell tower? How about permissions of the app installed that way, would data be compromised? Would phone factory reset remove software installed that way?

This is my ultimate (short term) AI fear - letting it get into a feedback loop with itself, leading to perverse and incorrect results.

To state my position more clearly: I don’t think an AI could comment code from scratch very well - how would it know all the decisions made, business logic considerations, historical conventions, micro-industry standards, etc?

A good benchmark I was told once was “if a human expert couldn’t do it, an AI probably can’t either”. And commenting code I didn’t write would certainly test the bounds of my abilities

Sounds like the person who should be held accountable is the driver. They should have just let her on, or if they're going to dodge accountability, they should do it by raising the problem to their management, or at least promised they will and given you a phone number/email address or something.

That's not how “commercial product” works (a product with a commercial product as an input or component is not itself ipso facto a commercial product, and especially not a product who has a component or input which is not itself a commercial product except in that it also has commercial products as components or inputs.)
