- Secondly it commoditizes AI. Zuck believes that his platforms ultimately will benefit if there is more content. Because his platforms sell the ability to show YOUR content over the rest, for coin. Just as with news/mobile games, driving the value of your content lower and lower by fostering the creation/supply of more of it is good for FB and bad for you. You have to advertise to rise above the noise. (See commoditize your complements)

It's interesting though becaue now I know there is more and more AI generated content on IG, I actually feel like it's less worth my time to be on there. I already thought it was a stupid activity, looking at fake people do literally nothing is just the icing on the cake for me.
I see ye ol’ “but HE is a private company they can do what they want” argument surfacing again. Something that is easily missed: internet providers benefit from government protected monopolies because you can’t just dig up cities and lay cable wherever you want. They’re seen as privately run public infrastructure. Therefore there’s an expectation that they indiscriminately carry traffic, because their position as an ISP is too powerful to allow them to be short circuiting the courts and making value judgements. This isn’t just a hypothetical concern, it’s real.

I don’t know HE’s specific situation with regards to being a common carrier, but I’m surprised there isn’t a conversation about the expectations we have of utility providers who receive privileged operational power over necessary public services.

I'm currently leasing my Fairphone 4 from Commown, so I'm fairly sure it will go on to live a healthy and productive life elsewhere. I also purchased a used Pixel 6 Pro from eBay.

As per my comment elsewhere in this post, I'm switching away from Fairphone because I care more about the security and software-level ownership of my device. If GrapheneOS had support for Fairphone, I would have stuck with my FP4 for many years to come.
It almost makes you wonder if there's some sort of McDonald's kickback scheme here. They make the franchisees take the machine, knowing it's going to break down, which makes the franchise owners have to pay through the nose to get it fixed, and then which McDonald's gets a kickback.

When you have a machine that fails that often, and has become that much of a publicity problem, you would think a company like McDonald's would say OK enough is enough, we're changing the machines.

The specific mechanisms are key to understanding. Your question prompted me to review the details of how system calls and linking works in Linux and think about it in a broader context.

Programming languages also have considerable variation when it comes to dependency management. There is a menu of options w.r.t. symbol lookup and dispatch, ranging from static to dynamic.

I’ve mostly been an application level developer. Something interesting about OS development is system function calls behave differently when called in different contexts (privilege levels, capabilities). One mechanism in play is dynamic dispatch. The end effect is that the underlying details of a system call can be quite different for different callers.

(The Unison language has some innovative ideas IMO.)

If you come across a good resource that covers these topics as a “design menu” across different OS styles and/or a historical look at security mitigations (as opposed to only a summary of what is used now in Linux), could you share it?
Nitpick: The RUP is not waterfall. First sentence on Wikipedia: "The rational unified process is an iterative software development process framework created by the Rational Software Corporation, a division of IBM since 2003".

Now, it IS very heavy and bureaucratic, and 99% of corporations applied it in the worst way possible, with heavy tooling and in strict waterfall fashion (even IBM/Rational consultants).

We could spend our efforts making the current financial system be private and secure instead of doing nothing to fix that problem and utilize a system that gives them even more insight into your finances.

Hi everyone, my name is Alex, and I'm the CTO and Founder at DocuSeal – an open-source alternative to DocuSign.

Recently, we launched DocuSeal Cloud, which is available in both the US and EU regions. Our goal is to create a developer-friendly document signing infrastructure, similar to how Stripe has revolutionized the payment infrastructure. The HTML API described in this blog post is the first step of this initiative. You can find more information about the developer tools at DocuSeal here: https://www.docuseal.co/integration.

Looking for some feedback and would be happy to answer any questions.

There's a pretty good argument to be made that Linux, the most high-profile GPL project in existence, not trying to enforce its license/copyright terms on reasonable grounds, is far, far worse for the FOSS ecosystem than the alternative of being sort-of-mean to corporation XYZ (where XYZ = Nvidia, VMWare, RandomHardwareCorp Inc, whatever). If the biggest 800lb Gorilla in the room isn't willing to go to court over it, that doesn't paint a very rosy picture for the rest of us.

If Linux is going to just use "soft" mechanisms to force the hands of MegaCorps when they do blatant license/copyright violations, then they might as well put a fork in the GPL, call it done, and switch to BSD3 or MIT+Apache or something. And before people yell at me, this is precisely how LLVM operates; the project does not use strong copyleft licensing, but purely technical means, to "force" upstream cooperation, due to factors like APIs churn and extremely high development velocity. And it seems to work pretty well, actually, without watering down their respective chosen license.

I had a really old phone that I liked, but which slack discontinued support for. The effect was that the slack app would still start and you could even see the channels etc behind the big "not supported" badge that immediately popped up. However, notifications still worked, and that was (and is) my main use case anyway, so I didn't mind. I found it a pretty weird way of "discontinuing" support though.

Unfortunately I had to switch to a newer phone later when my bank app started complaining.
One of the worst parts as a core developer of a OSS software is when you get drive-by pull requests of large changes without that person attempting pre-discussion. Said large changes try to introduce feature creep outside what the core team of dedicated developers that will actually stick around for years want or can actually maintain.

You then end up with that drive-by pull requester spitting venom everywhere on twitter and other forums about how hostile the project is

We have a very narrow carve out of service obligation that constrains businesses from refusing service for intrinsic properties. Apart from that, at the federal level: no, we don't and shouldn't obligate businesses to serve Communists. We don't obligate them to serve Nazis. We don't obligate them to serve the KKK. We don't obligate them to serve Democrats. A business that's too picky about the color of people's money is a business that leaves money on the table, and that is almost always counterweight enough.

You are right, if it was true we would expect multiple people to have spilled the beans over the years, possibly even write books about what they know. And there would have been death bed confessions of high-ranking officials who have worked on these projects.

And we would have taken them all seriously and investigated their claims, instead of ridiculing them.

Only if a long time passes without evidence of harm, we consider that the "evidence" of safety -- there is no other. It is very difficult to claim that something new introduced in a complex system is safe, so you weigh what you get right away from it vs. what you might end up paying down the road if it ends up being unsafe. Aspartame does not, in my view, clear that bar.

Technically, the lab leak hypothesis has not officially been suppresssed as a conspiracy theory. It is has been ranked from "extremely unlikely" to "likely with low confidence".

The reason why you may think it has been suppressed as a conspiracy theory is probably because the people pushing the more for it actually use conspiracy theory patterns. In reaction, report about these loud yeller providing out-of-context, with often ridicule arguments, are dismissed as conspiracy theories.

There is nonetheless some objective reports a lab leak hypotheses and how improving lab security is important to prevent this kind of things either way.
> Hmm, actually I’m not sure I even understand the whole “serverless” thing that much to be honest.

A whole bunch of folks have given up on shared operating systems at a security, access control, data governance, and maintainability (reproducibility) level. At least if your goal is to create software for some purpose other than building server infrastructure.

Some of them have decided that if you’re going to want things like database servers and ssh bastions and VPN servers and cache servers et c to live on dedicated machines or VMs for various good reasons anyway… and you let something else trigger your custom code as needed, as distinct processes with maybe a little hot caching, like in old school PHP or CGI or Inetd (remember that?!), why, now it’s looking an awful lot like you don’t really have a reason to manage a server for that at all, if someone else can provide some service to trigger your code under certain circumstances, if your code and your new unit of process isolation (a whole damn OS) can start up fast enough.

Now if you pay for managed versions of all those other 3rd party software packages you use, so you don’t need to hire a couple PostgreSQL experts to make upgrades anything but nail-biting, for example—congrats, you’ve fully reached “serverless” in the “cloud”.

There’s plenty of debated scientific theories around single events such as what killed off the dinosaurs or how old the universe is etc. Testability happens when you accurately predict what evidence will be found, ie there’s excess iridium globally at the K-T boundary.

Similarly there’s theories around collections of events such as the timing of the ice ages which are collectively significant.
That, plus that the ease with which the virus jumped back to animals (deer, hamsters, mice, ferrets, cats, dogs) makes the search for a reservoir animal very difficult, as well as the fair chance that there were few enough of those (possibly only one) that that part of the evidence chain may well remain broken.

The only thing I find somewhat frustrating about this is that lab leak is nearly impossible to disprove. Because even if you can convince folks that the science shows it was natural in origin, that still doesn't mean it wasn't being studied in a lab somewhere.

I agree with the other commenter who says that "it's a good idea to review and possibly improve biolab safety protocols and also to end wet markets as the latter were obviously a biohazard even before the pandemic." I see at least some discussion of the former, but almost none of the latter. Is there anything we can do about wet markets? Use trade negotiations as leverage? I don't even see a discussion.
