I said this on a similar thread yesterday, and I'll say it again – these farms will become profitable if and when we start acknowledging the negative externalities of industrialized agriculture.

The public pays a price in both health and biodiversity loss, and the increasing cost of extreme weather events due to Climate Change. Governments subsidize these losses either by directly supporting conventional practices, or by allowing big agriculture to use chemically intensive processes.

The reason small farms struggle to make a living using sustainable practices is largely because at the moment, there is little incentive. The public is fairly ignorant of where food comes from, or what it takes to grow it. Even less informed when it comes to why someone would even want to plant a diversity of plants rather than maximize yields.

With a bunch of these AI tools at some point some folks will have to do the actual work. Some have to attend meetings, get an idea off of a random comment which the AI won't consider important to add to the meeting notes and then come up with a way to launch it to market without AI because that data set doesn't exist yet. Those who can do work will be rewarded beyond their wildest dreams and many many jobs will be lost. The gap between haves and have nots will increase even further. What's worse is those who are using AI to do creative work are actually atrophying their own capacity to do work.
It's interesting how conflicted I am about this. On one hand having an assistant attend a meeting to report back the distilled ~2 minutes that are useful has a strong value proposition. On the other hand why isn't the meeting lead talking care of forwarding that distilled information themselves?

I feel like this says more about a somewhat bad meeting culture that a lot of us partake in and less about the inevitable rise of AI.
I'm not sure I believe this rumor.
"Enlightenment" is a word you've been programmed to respond to in a certain way, but it doesn't represent anything particularly meaningful. It's a religious concept like "clear" in Scientology. It's used as a carrot for gullible religious folk.

I kinda doubt it, SSH already have SFTP and SSHFS is .... quite honestly a tool that has no business existing.

It's a neat trick but it's always going to be something that someone bolted on to a solution because they didn't want to deal with a proper file server. Part of the appeal might be that NFS (3 or 4, take your pick) is still the best we've been able to come up with and neither is really that great for basic installation. Still SSHFS is a mess to deal with in a production setup. Some of the messiest production systems I've de-tangled over years have frequently been relying on SSH and SSHFS to do stuff assumes a permanent connection.
Interesting, could you say more about how you go about this? I’m in the middle of figuring out how I want to do property-based testing for a parser, using fast-check.

That gives you some control, but because lineage is mostly just using upstream android, and google's "contributions" to AOSP continue the overall decline of android, and the majority of apps adhere to google's behavioral demands of the play store, even lineageOS gets worse every year by way of it not being a hard fork of what was once a good OS.

Not that I have a solution to the problem. Just saying the current and foreseeable future state is that smartphones are past their glory days, and the platform defeated itself.
Why would he or anyone else in his position have any faith that they'd get a fair trial in a US court? He'll get thrown in a detention cell and treated like a POW as he awaits trial for years, only to be eventually told the court does not consider him a journalist and he's fucked for life, no matter how important or valid the leaks were. If the leaks were embarrassing to someone important enough, which they were, then he's done. For him to sacrifice himself on the altar of 'justice' he knows he won't receive is not a reasonable expectation.

Back when the M1's debuted, my 2016 Pro was sort of disintegrating, so I sprung for a lowest-tier Air (8gb RAM 256 SSD) as a stopgap until the M1 Pro I really wanted came along.

use: full-stack web, some dallying in XCode. That computer freaking soared, more performant than my older computer with 4x RAM. And software has not gotten more demanding in the past year… or the past ten years, really.

These computers do more with less. The game has changed, this isn't the nineties where an eighteen-month-old computer can't run new games or whatever.
MacOS generally needs more ram than iPadOS because iPadOS can be more aggressive about pausing and closing applications to free up more ram than MacOS can be. I think some modern iPads are still at 4GB when that's too low for modern MacOS.

Yeah - No joke, I'm right there with you.

I just don't think it will matter. There is too much money on the table, and too much pressure on the "security" front to get most of the people implementing this to just... stop. They have rational reasons for doing the things they're doing, and they're sitting in the "corporate developer" spot, which will still get the goodies like a real server that can run real code.

I'd like to see some real government regulation... my basic stance is - if I own the device, I should get a key to EVERY fucking lock it has, including all the digital ones. Which seems very sane, and completely mirrors the same stance for ownership of things like houses and cars (the owner gets all the keys).

But the government (at least in the US) has lodged the corporate phallus SO far down its fucking throat it's literally choking to death. So I don't expect any miracles.

Yeah, my father keeps everything locked in a safe, but the other day, some cops knocked on my door asking if I knew anything about a gun that was stolen from the passenger seat of an unlocked truck parked across the street.

I'm sure everyone says they take these things seriously, and I'm sure you're a fine upstanding citizen who mostly interacts with other fine, upstanding citizens. However, we do know, due to the number of offenses made public thanks to Florida's Sunshine law and other public sources, that we simply can't make the generalization that people take these gun safety measures seriously.
It's not exactly correct to compare Emacs to an IDE. I'm not a coder (even though I write some scripts from time to time), but still Emacs is my working instrument. The main use cases are org-mode and knowledge base with org-roam. You can't get it with VS Code.

>You mean that AI can just go on its own and kill people? Certainly that can happen, if people are silly enough to give it such "power".

The ability to kill people flows naturally from the fact that the AI has goals or preferences or things it is trying to achieve or optimize and has an accurate understanding of reality. AlphaZero is good at capturing your king when you are playing a game of chess with it, but has no understanding of reality beyond the chess board. GPT-4 has a decent understanding of reality, but does not have the ability to formulate plans that succeed on the first try even when a human being is trying their best to thwart the plan. Future AIs that combine these two abilities are dangerous.

Also, you seem to believe that the only way it can hurt us is if the people who made it decided to make it hurt us (or make it want to hurt us) whereas in reality most of the danger comes from people who hope the AI will do things that everyone agrees would be good. I.e., most of the danger comes from AI labs who are overconfident in their ability to control (or align) the AI (although if the knowledge to make very capable AIs is made public, another, milder danger is that it can be used by people bent on destruction).

It is hard to exaggerate how bad AI scientists are at controlling or aligning an AI once the AI gets good at deceiving people (and gets good at understanding reality well enough to know that deceiving people will get it more of whatever goal it creators have given it). What's controlling the AIs that have been deployed up to now is the fact that those AIs are not as capable as people are at the things that need to get done to keep people alive.
Right, but the foster children can be taken away at any time the state sees fit to do so. The hurdles to do that with adopted children are much higher.

One action can easily be undone, but the other can not.

Edit: one other thing to consider is that there are a huge number of children in the foster system and they are desperate for foster parents.
I've always thought so too - who is banking on their phone?

And, loans aside, if I had money in a bank that forced me to change the way I live my life just to store money, I would move to a different bank and tell them that's why they lost a customer.
My brother is a public high school teacher, so I'm somewhat familiar. They're to schools, where the objective is to have something that's cheap, easy to administer, and locked down. They also tie into Google Classroom/GSuite and have limited local storage. Many Chromebooks aren't given to a specific student, but rolled out in carts and handed out during a "computer lab" time.

While a Mac would work, a cart full of Macs is radically more expensive than a cart full of Chromebooks. A family friend is a music teacher that uses Logic, so maybe that's a use case, or iOS development.
Well I'm sure this maneuver will bring advertisers running back to Twitter.

You don't have to gain anything- it's called not sacrificing your principles. Something many here don't understand. If we don't like something we don't have to put up with it but it might take some sacrifice.
Yes! Exactly like what you've apparently thought about and worked on for a long time. Neat!

>> To decrypt it, multiple parties need to come together and combine their keys, all the while creating an audit log of why they are accessing this or that portion.

To me, this is the technical solution that best mirrors the ideals of the pre-technical reality.

And I consider myself an encryption absolutist! But I think the powers arrayed against it are too strong (and in some areas, too morally correct) to fully resist.

Which devolves to creating a compromise, and hopefully one better than "Government has no keys, any of the time" or "Government has all keys, all the time."
I know what the platform does, and that's why I have this opinion and also why I don't want any of it.

No it’s a horrible fit. OpenSSH is focused on a high quality, secure implementation of a rather complex protocol. And OpenSSH is not a core piece of Linux infrastructure any more than say gcc is. These projects serve other, greater ends.
A FUSE driver is a bunch of baggage that is poorly suited to be maintained with it.

I'm pretty sure modern GPUs are pipelined and cached.

The important tidbit is that CPUs find parallelism where the programmers didn't specify any. CPUs are "out of order" machines, spending a fair amount of energy and internal storage (the ROB / reorder buffer) to execute out-of-order, and then place all the results back in order before the programmer notices.

GPUs, instead of being configured to find parallelism, innately assume that the programmer laid out parallelism for it ahead of time. GPUs can only work with a massively parallel language (OpenCL, DirectX HLSL, or CUDA) specifying thousands of parallel work units per line.

Making the laptop cheaper will not solve any of the usability and manageability issues with macOS. If I was going to rank my wishlist, at the top would be the protracted outage that accompanies every OS update. ChromeOS updates itself in seconds and you barely notice. macOS grinds for several minutes before the reboot and 10-20 minutes during the reboot. It sucks!
> More generally, I think WASM is starting to challenge the whole "there can only be DOM/CSS/JS" thing that has held web developers back for two decades.

No one was held back, people keep choosing the web because it's consistently better.

What I think is crazy is this drive to take something that is working great (the Web), and then jam in an approach that has already failed multiple times. We already tried several iterations of binary-heavy, non-transparent, non-searchable, non-web-native, second-ecosystem application platforms including Java Applets, Flash, Silverlight, etc. They had a chance and users rejected them.

If you think the web sucks, then by all means, I encourage you to make a compelling alternative. If it really is better then people will use it. But maybe don't try to spoil the working recipe of HTML/CSS/JS, especially if you don't fully understand the reasons why it keeps winning.
> you can move out of Tokyo to rural Japan

> the cost of moving to a rural locale isn't hard

It seems you don't have any family and friends near where you live? Or you don't have any hobbies which are possible only in the cities (eg. being a foodie with a taste for various types of cuisines)? Or you are a native born who will find it easier to blend into rural communities who are typically more homogeneous? Unless you can only see costs in financial terms but not in social or personal terms?

Cost of urban to rural transition is HUGE, first at individual level due to social ties and personal preferences. And then at societal level due to personal preferences of the electorate. Dense cities are here to stay in most of the world.
> Curl automatically expands glob expressions in URLs into multiple specific URLs.

> For example, this command requests three different paths (al, bt, gm), each with two different parameters (num=1 and num=2), for a total of six URLs:

curl --output-dir /tmp -o "out_#1_#2.txt" http://httpbin/anything/{al,bt,gm}?num=[1-2]

Note that it's not just curl that does glob expansion. So do some shells. Try:

echo http://httpbin/anything/{al,bt,gm}?num=[1-2]

Bash does "brace expansion" on `{al,bt,gm}` to create 3 separate params before they are given to curl/echo. (Although other, stricter bourne shells, like `dash`, do not perform this expansion.)
I do music programming and it's a huge deal. I am able to run my domain model in a WASM embedded Scheme interpreter, enabling me to reuse code from other computer music projects (Scheme for Max, Common Music, etc). I have a C++ worklet running regular C++ DSP code so i can use anything from that world. And I've made a sample accurate scheduler that can drive the main thread from a worklet (of course like any block rendering system, it has a vector of samples of jitter, but long term it stays as accurate as the sample clock).

Getting all this to work was ... laborious. The debugging situation for worklets is pretty painful at the moment... it's more like writing microcontroller code than normal desktop. But that will improve, and being able to do it all in the browser such that the guts of my work can be reused across browsers, Max, or stand alone C++ is huge for me.

I think WASM will really take off when we get proper browser API access direct from WASM. Right now the passing back and forth to the JS host adds a lot of work.
> Maybe they pulled an instapot and made a great product that lasts

This is a longstanding position by apple since ~ the iMac.* The long lifetime (hw quality + software support) means higher resale value and pays off for companies like Apple and Toyota. Why didn’t it help instapot?

Resale value means the investment for a buyer of a new device is (conceptually) lower and signals quality, so you can charge more. And the resold devices serve a customer who can’t pay full retail, keeping the, from giving their money to a competitor.

Now this works bc the new buyer values the new features (else they’d just hang on to the equipment for longer, as I do). Instapot’s problem was they lacked a “killer feature upgrade”: the 2023 model is basically the 2017 model.

* dunno before but I somehow can’t believe a company that shipped the Performa line had the same attitude.

Edit: I had a brain fart and said BMW had a high resale value, while actually they are notorious the other way (since I’ve owned one myself, I shouldn’t have made this mistake). Thanks to Our_Benefactors for pointing this out.

IMHO, that's a pretty disrespectful take that seems to be founded on stereotypes.

The real reason is probably more along the lines of: they work for a big organization, big organizations force "standards" decisions on the grunts that don't make sense in a lot of contexts, and for a multitude of reasons there's no will to change them once made.
I've never been a fan of Apple, but the Macbook trackpad keeps me from switching.

Whose is second best?
While it's definitely interesting, I do wonder to what extent WASM threatens the open web even more than the DRM battles of the past, perhaps in non-obvious ways. I'm the past, one of the ways many a frontend dev has picked up tricks was simply by reading the JavaScript for a site they liked. That can be made harder by obfuscation but, even then, a prettyfier can make things generally intelligible.

That exchange of knowledge was possible because a) for all it's warts, JavaScript became the standard for everyone in the field and b) the only way to publish your work was to publish the source (at least a derivative). WASM blows away both of those assumptions and takes us in a direction more similar to desktop software, where you may have a copy of the binary but may not even (easily) determine which language it was written in.
No, but if they did people would still buy them because the 2GB version would outperform an 8GB Chromebook in daily tasks.

Apple isn’t going to ship something that doesn’t beat the pants off a Chromebook.

The law in question prohibits e2e encryption.

It's perfectly viable to create a messaging application with encryption that isn't e2e. Sure, it's a ridiculous thing that no democracy should demand, and will currently destroy any brand that attempts it, for good reason. It also won't be effective against any mildly persistent threat (not much of a change over our current implementation, really). But it's something perfectly viable to create.

init could chose to launch every process in a new mount namespace, which would break this. I have no idea whether it does that, it probably doesn't, but my point is that as long as it's not released and open source, it's not worth looking at.

> Yup, but an unrealised gain is still a gain.

How so though? If you're not selling or collateralizing something, you're not gaining any money from possessing it (unless you're counting the spreadsheet number going up as gains by itself).

> And when you die, the capital gains base resets

Yeah, this seems pretty ludicrous. I can understand why inheritance wouldn't cause a taxable event (e.g. you inherit the painting), but it seems pretty wild to allow that while also resetting the basis.

I could be missing something, but I don't know of a super reasonable defense for this part (other than potentially disincentivizing inter-generational hoarding of assets? Honestly not sure)
