>could they also hack into the German train system to make the trains go on time?

Knowing German "digitalisation", the train system probably runs on pen, paper, letters, phone calls and faxes, making it resilient to cyber attacks. Your move hackers!

We appreciate your curiosity about our project! It is really precious for us and your engagement fuels our progress. To shed light on your questions, let us delve into our approach:

At the core of MoodMinder is a conceptual cognitive model, meticulously crafted to regulate emotions. Emotions are a central pillar of this model, as they significantly influence our perception and interactions with the world.
To test and validate our model, we've integrated the power of GPT into our framework. We utilize GPT's remarkable ability to understand and generate human-like text and a game to customize our training process. This synergy empowers MoodMinder to fine-tune its emotional intelligence.
As we continue to enhance MoodMinder's capabilities, the fine-tuning of GPT remains a pivotal step. This process ensures that the model aligns even more closely with the nuances of human emotions, creating a symbiotic relationship between AI and human emotion understanding.
Thank you for your interest in our journey! We're excited to have you accompany us as we explore the fascinating landscape of emotions through technology.

PHP 8 is the best version of PHP yet, and the main reason why it's so good is precisely because it got rid of a huge amount of ugly, legacy behavior.

Upgrading a codebase to PHP 8 is not an insurmountable task, I've upgraded our 1 million SLOC codebase at work in just a few weeks, with the help of tools like https://psalm.dev and our own strict coding standard.

Even if they could hack into the system, I don't think they can do miracles.
At least in some places in Europe, at the time that you have some dispute like this you will need to prepare and disclose provisions for your shareholders and place that in your balance sheet as a potential liability.

I've worked in a company that entered in a dispute with Microsoft regarding licensing of SQL Server, and since the legal dispute was more than USD 2 million our CFO was obligated to place that as a balance sheet loss under legal provisions. Eventually we won the case and the "money" went back to the cash flow.

But this is automatic system - any train which receives such signal automatically activates it's brakes without any human interaction.

So it's not just calling a school saying there's a bomb, but using the info about the right frequency and signal pattern triggering remotely all alarms in neighborhood.

Backup and restores are hard.

Last week, I upgraded my home laptop's SSD. I decided to take out the old one, do a fresh install on the new one, and restore the backup from a Synology NAS.

The good news: Backup seems complete. It's not the first time I migrated like this, and an older hardware upgrade went a lot less well, so I am happy.

The bad news: It was far from a trouble free process. I succeeded in the end, but had to restore a few times because the first tries were botched and there were some gotchas to learn.
You're absolutely correct and if I'm not wrong this is a common loophole used by companies to get around the AGPL (when they really want to)

That is, contract the development to a third party. Let's say A wants proprietary modifications to an AGPL product (X). A contracts B, a solutions provider to make the changes. B is legally required to provide the changes to their X.1 product to anyone that uses it. However, only A is their direct user. Now since A did not modify X to X.1 they are not required to provide a direct download link in the application to the sources for X.1

I'm unsure if GPL style protections still apply and I as a user can request the sources from A by making an explicit request. (I guess not, since they never shared the application with me, only access to it via the network)

> You can activate the emergency stop in any train. Just like that, go figure! No security around those things at all

That’s false, at least on modern trains, in France, for what I know.

Any modern train will not stop when you pull the alarm lever.

The first thing that will happen is that you will be in communication with the conductor, then the train will be stopped in only two scenarios : either you are communicating a real emergency or you don’t respond at all to the conductor asking you what happens after a given delay (which IIRC is 10 seconds).

And fwiw, a friend of mine who is conductor explained to me that if you activate the alarm lever by inadvertence, the worst thing you can do is to not answer by fear of having problems. If you say it’s an error, the conductor will just ignore it and continue its day while if you say nothing, the conductor is forced to emergency brake the train and all the trains on the line.
I'd assume you follow Stackoverflow's license here (creative commons). You do follow the necessary attribution requirement that Stackoverflow demands of you when you copy snippets from the site, don't you?

If you're made aware that the code you copied in good faith was not allowed to be granted to you under those terms, you'd probably just lose your right to use the code and nothing more. The person redistributing code under a wrong license is the main culprit, but since they were never allowed to hand out a license, you're screwed because of them. If you choose not to distribute the source code, you must remove it from your product as soon as possible.

Of course, this does assume that the code you copied passes the originality threshold. A simple multiplication or a very basic algorithm can be considered too simple to copyright, and GPL would be powerless.

It's so possible the use of the copyrighted code can be considered fair use. In the USA, Oracle sued Google over some GPLv2 API definition, but Google was ruled not to have to abide by the terms of the GPL license in that case, because of fair use reasons.
This is such nonsense agitprop. There is zero evidence "Russia did this".

I could just as easily see the CIA doing it, because everyone knows that the CIA wants to have the world blame Russia for evil things in order to distract from the CIA's vast litany of evil things.

And such a position would be equally specious in light of the evidence: there is none at hand, either way.

What you are doing is merely participating in two minutes hate of the enemy de jour ..

Passive voice makes sense when the topic of interest isn't the subject.

Look at those headlines about Kennedy's death: https://www.manisteenews.com/news/slideshow/10-front-pages-f... Most of these headlines are passive, because the topic of interest isn't the (unknown) murderer, or the bullets themselves, but the victim.

"Kennedy assassinated, Connally seriously wounded by shots" is way stronger than "somebody assassinated Kennedy, shots seriously wounded Connally". Ditto with "Kennedy to be buried in Arlington", which is way better than "a person will bury Kennedy in Arlington".

Coming to think of it Starbucks is a great example to argue over since so many people have been college baristas or at least have a coffee addiction to defend.

I have also worked at a Starbucks and I disagree.

I never felt degraded. Their shift scheduling was and probably still is crazy inconsistent by default which is the only problem with them. For me it wasn’t that bad since as a student I simultaneously had lots of time on my hands, while also needed flexibility to not be at work whenever something school related comes up.

This would have been a big deal, had I a family to feed or if I required a set amount of money instead of just extra income. Starbucks isn’t really employment, it’s more like a gig like working an Uber.

If you need a flexible gig, it’s great.
"computing advances" probably means new software and algorithmic techniques, not (only) new hardware.
Sedentary lifestyles, passive rather than active entertainment (TV shows rather than engaging in sports)?

I was also thinking computers offloading our very energy demanding brains but stress diseases and exhaustion is in fact up so I think work compensates more than enough there.

But that’s also interesting because the energy dip has to offset our cognitive overload from our higher paced society and demands as well. And with the brain being among the most taxing things we have, that sounds big. Buuut I have a feeling our low activity lifestyles are just that influential.

Most of the stuff you talked about only causes warnings, unless (and it’s a good practice btw) you’re converting them into exceptions by setting up an error handler.

In my case, I used a combination of Rector, integration tests, and sending exceptions to Sentry to successfully upgrade a PHP code base from version 7 to 8.
Glancing at the project, one area where things could go terribly wrong is the translation layer from GL 1.x to WebGL. For instance 'tricks' that are common on native GL implementations like buffer orphaning are actually harmful on WebGL and may cause lock stalls which would cause exactly the issues you describe (e.g. struggling to hit a consistent frame rate despite extremely low CPU and GPU load).

Even though WebGL and WebGL2 are implementations of the GLES2 and GLES3 APIs you usually can't just take a non-trivial GLES2/3 code base and expect it to work without hickups on WebGL, what's going on under the hood is just too different.

> Do you stand behind this statement you just made?

I stand behind the statements I made and went to the trouble to provide you with an easily checked example, but it seems you ignored it completely? Did you overlook the archive.org link?

> I too read Zens stating there are millions in reeducation camps.

I was asking you how many fighters you think there were. If you believe that everyone arrested was a fighter, and also Zenz' claim that millions were arrested, that implies you think there were millions of fighters. On the other hand, it doesn't seem like you believe him, so you probably think the number of fighters is less. So how many were there?

But my point was that you don't have to believe Zenz, you can just skim his writing for links to citations and read those instead.

> You're using circular logic.

Where is the cycle in my reasoning?

> the prospect of better pay or work conditions

> to seek a better job with better work conditions

The words you use here are interesting: "the prospect", "to seek".

The only difference is that you may not be able to find a better job with better work conditions if you're operating under the gun of unemployment and in a significantly worse job market.

When you leave voluntarily, it's because you've already found a new job. You're operating from a position of strength and proactivity, not weakness and reactivity.

It some cases it was indefinitely promised, and then employers broke the promise.
Okay but the brain exists to provide an accurate model of reality. Changing it so as not to do so and then thinking that new model is "real" is fooling yourself.

No they don't. Literally anyone who thinks they do is "deluded" (in the Buddhist technical sense)
This is nonsense. The demand curve as a concept only deals with singular prices, and the slope of it is particular to a particular product.

The Pareto principle (80% of good thing x comes from 20% of input y) is over-used everywhere, this is the first time I've seen it applied to pricing. Funnily enough the first time I saw it wasn't in economics but in a human interaction course.

While the 4x multiple of pricing tiers might be a good idea, this article certainly doesn't make a good case for it.
If you're using something in a way that wasn't intended by its manufacturer, that's a hack.
My impression, having programmed quite a bit of Fortran, is that it’s not official at all. Also the language is maintained in a completely different way (standards Committee) so it feels off.
It's described more in the report. Their assessment #6 hinges on

- "Very likely" poor or non-existent robust GPU support,

- Unlikely robust support for specialized processors (i.e., non-general purpose CPU) like "Data Flow processors" and "processing in/near memory",

- Fortran advocacy and advancement is likely limited to DOE, which the report implies is insufficient, and

- Vendors of hardware have prioritized C++.
That’s because most of such “UX” articles are written by junior designers looking for a job (writing to promote themselves) or working in an IT services agency (writing to promote the agency).

These individuals tend not to have a whit of formal HCI education or real-world practice.

When you have little theoretical grounding and real world experience, all you have is examples from apps you spot in the wild to learn from. You don’t know what makes something work, and you have never seen it work yourself.

You might learn the wrong thing: that if some popular or financially-successful app out there has implemented a particular design pattern, that it must be a “best practice”.

It’s kind of like how most “how-to” articles, YouTube tutorials, and Udemy courses in software dev are made by junior devs.

> big iron imperative language offers over the dozens of other superficially similar choices

Given the capabilities of modern machines and the fact that non-homogenous hardware (GPUs, different processors like in Apple Silicon) is back, the "winning" strategy is to have high-level scripting languages where you can ignore most of the details, which call into hyper-optimized, high performance libraries. For instance, when you're using Scipy, you call into Fortran and C almost interchangeably.

Since most likely you aren't writing full programs in the low-level language, it doesn't need to be a general-purpose language offering the same affordances, say, C++ is supposed to provide.

For numerical/scientific code, Fortran is much, much easier to use, especially for people whose background isn't computer science. Being able to write your code in terms of matrices and arrays rather than "pointer to const restrict" is a godsend when you're programming what is often very difficult mathematical code. When compared to modern C or C++ you won't get any advantage in terms of performance, but you don't lose much either, and in return you get to use a language that's much more suited to the task.

The historical Achilles' heel of Fortran is that it's kind of awkward as a general-purpose language, but that's negated by the "compiled core, interpreted shell" approach that's dominant these days.
PNaCl was a joke though, it suffered from much longer client-side compilation times than both asm.js and WASM ever had, and performance was at most on par with asm.js.

(NaCl was better in those areas, but required to stamp out one binary for each target CPU architecture)
Ah yeah, the peril of judging who someone is as a person by their intellectual output/ideas... (books, website, etc.)

I made that mistake a few times, too. Including with Alice Miller, apparently... Anyway, I knew there was some controversy for a long time due to reading about experiences of Barbara Rogers a long time ago.

http://screamsfromchildhood.com/war_trauma_alice_miller.html

The OP is a nice reminder of how misjudging a person (conflating them with their ideas) and idolatry based on that can affect other people.
In American law, a contract must have three parts: an offer, acceptance, and consideration. Consideration is something of value given in exchange for the offer in the contract.

Because there is nothing paid for a piece of open source software downloaded off the interwebs, there is no consideration. Therefore, open source licenses by themselves constitute what is known as a bare license and may be revoked at any time, for any reason, by the licensor.
> But if you add a $40/yr tier, 80% (800) of your clients would still only spend $10, earning you $8000. But the remaining 20% (200)will buy that $40 package instead of $10. This generates an extra $6000. By creating this second package, your yearly earnings go up 60% to $14,000 in ARR.

So 20 % of the user base now contribute 42 % of revenue. Also, why would everyone agree to pay 4x or 8x more than the original $10 ?
> Obviously in a factory people who are let in are vetted and authenticated to start with.

Factory workers are not vetted beyond being able to perform some function on behalf of the factory owners / operators. That can be as much as having finished grade school. On your first day you have the run of the place.

> Here we're discussing a radio transmission (from what I understand) in the wild that can come from absolutely anyone and anywhere and stop a whole train.

Oh no! Such radio transmissions have been the norm for decades and plenty of such older systems are still in use all over the world. Abusing such systems is easy. Upgrading them properly is costly and carries risk so the default is to leave things as they are.

> There is no reason for this not to be secured.

Well, why don't you propose a system that is 'secured'? And then I'll show you fifty ways in which your so called secured system can be 'hacked'. For instance, pre-emptively by stealing some of the gear.

There are fall-backs for all of those and the final fall back is flares and hand signals which every railway man hopes to never see in their lives. Fucking with infra is easy. Creating systems that are still just as safe but that are secure isn't easy at all: it is impossible. As every hacked website proves. And even if you could: the next thing that would happen is that these jerks would derail the trains instead of stopping them because that too is stupidly easy.

At some point we all rely on each other not to do bad stuff.
He's hardly the only author from that period given to what today would be considered extravagantly verbose prose.
Lots of things were different about that age - arguably the typical readers of a Dickens or Bronte novel wouldn't have the exposure to the variety of experiences we take for granted these days, and intricate descriptions of seemingly inconsequential details were their equivalent of the saturation of the senses we now get from TV/cinema etc.
And remember he was also capable of sentences like "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times"...which is about as succinct and powerful you can get given the complexity of what he was describing.
