> I say that I disagree. But to elaborate much further would lead to unnecessary flames.

It's almost impossible to reach a consensus on such complex issues: we all have different sources of information, sensibilities, biais, etc. Polite discussions with discordant point of views is pretty much the best we can hope to achieve.

> This is also a fairly recent development, up to as early as 2015 the internet landscape did not look this way.

For the sake of completeness, those kind of techniques have been successfully set into motion in the West as early as WWI[0][1]. This[2] was posted here recently: it was essentially "public" knowledge by 1949, well understood by educated classes.

That's to say, it's not really surprising to see the Internet used in this manner.

> but on a certain level "The Last Jedi" was kind of artsy fartsy

While I agree with your criticisms of The Last Jedi, I don't think you can under any circumstances consider this movie "artsy fartsy".

The Last Jedi is the anti-artsy fartsy movie, otherwise the term loses all meaning. It doesn't mean "bad", and an artsy-fartsy movie can be good. Focusing on just the technical or glossy aspects doesn't make a movie artsy, it just makes it bad.

This past summer I quit my job as Engr #3 of a startup. While there, I desperately tried to convince 1+2 that we should use tailscale instead of rolling our own VPN with wire guard and EC2. Couldn’t do it. The product was too magical and everyone was suspicious. I use it at home and tried very hard to make the case.

This feels more like a long term investment in breaking the “mesh” basis for their product. IMO it’s part of the magic and partially a problem. I couldn’t explain the security model for the mesh (as an outsider), and according to some comments it seems like it causes battery issues on mobile devices.

Again a buffer overflow in image decoding, that sounds similar to the one from 2021 [1]. That one was wild, building a CPU out of primitives offered by an arcane image compression format embedded in pdf, to be able to do enough arithmetic to further escalate to arbitrary code execution!

This is a perfect example of a market failure where you need some government intervention because the general public is not great at assessing risk level, or even knowing about some risks.

If companies could sell generators with a big sticker on them that says "with new feature that prevents shark attacks" now that might actually get people interested in buying it over the competition. But a CO shutoff probably doesn't get many people interested.
If the performance improvements are that extensive, it would be interesting to see how close JavaScript + bun would get us to Go or Java. It would be a game changer if that gap can be closed.

I was going to be all negative about a free Hawaii. Then I read how it got made a state by some corporate fatcats overthrowing the queen by force, establishing a kangaroo government over the objection of the American President, and petitioning for years to be admitted as a state. No native Hawaiian ever agreed to this. They were discriminated against from the outset, systematically.

Don't know how it could be untangled now. Like Scotland, not sure modern natives would care about century-old political screwing around.
That's needlessly defeatist and "it's so bad out there there's no point in trying" is a thought terminating cliché.

We can and should improve development practises, mitigate vulnerabities (ASLR, WAFs, etc), isolate systems from each other, and model threats in a way that we know where and how to do those things. It's not easy but just moaning "everything sucks" isn't how to fix it.
To give a slightly less positive perspective: I trialed Kagi for a few weeks, and while I liked the features and their business model, its search results are no better than from my own Searx instance. Kagi essentially does the same thing as Searx: anonymized API calls to 3rd party search engines. It's just packaged in a friendlier UI, but the experience is not far off.

Plus, Searx supports many more search engines, and I can customize it exactly to my liking.

I wish them well, as they clearly have good intentions and a good product, but I prefer using an equivalent OSS and self-hosted solution over a proprietary SaaS I have to create an account for, even if it's not as polished or featureful.

EDIT: Actually, I'm wrong. Kagi apparently also has their own crawlers and indexes[1]. Still, I'm not finding Searx results to be deficient, so I'm not missing out on much.

One thing that does concern me with Searx, and partially with Kagi, is that those 3rd parties could decide to block these API requests at any point, leaving Searx unusable, and Kagi's results less relevant. I'm not sure this is a sustainable way to build a search engine, but I do appreciate both Kagi's and Searx's stance on ads. Using any mainstream search engine via their own frontends is a frustrating experience at best.

I don't have that standard. There are perhaps a hundred food retailers in the city where I live that meet my ethical standards, out of perhaps 1000-2000 in total.

My standards for how to treat animals don't depend on whether I eat that animal after it's died. "Can maltreat as long as I don't eat it" is IMO difficult to justify.
If I bought the heated seats via a one-time purchase then that feature should transfer to the new owner. It may require that transfer of ownership be registered with BMW.

If I rented the heated seats, or hadn't bought or rented the heated seats, then the new buyer should have the option to rent the heated seats or make a one-time purchase to just buy them.

This seems pro-consumer to me. I don't want heated seats (no, really, I don't!) and I would never buy them on my car. But, when I go to sell my car the new buyer can purchase heated seats if they so choose. That increases the market to which I can sell my car, and makes more cars available to buyers. Increased supply drives prices down.

No matter how you slice it and dice it the end result is the same: drive prices down and provide more options to consumers. I don't understand the backlash.

Thank you for making this, I find writing things in Ghost horrendous. You can't copy into/out of Ghost easily without screwing up a ton of formatting. That little "Markdown" field they give you doesn't even render a bunch of standard markdown syntax correctly.

Serious question, if the NSO group is actively creating spyware - how have we not sanctioned them?

Heck this would probably need to be escalated to threaten the host country of the company with consequences if they're giving safe haven to a known bad actor.
I have a similar opinion. Bun might "support" all the possible Node APIs, but they don't say anything about stability and correctness of the underlying implementation. So you might think it's time to switch until a library in your project uses a node module, that breaks your code in Bun
This is still an active area of research. Seems like marching cubes alone are not enough IIRC. Do you have any links I can read for NeRf to USD for example? Saw something pretty good from nvidea a while ago but still not great — still a lot of loss.
> 3. Leia went into outer space unconscious but magically flew back in without dying???

I didn't think she was fully unconscious. Also, "magically"? She used the Force. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together. In this case, given she was in a vacuum, just a slight pull on the ship is all she needed to fly back to it.

> Rey is somehow the strongest force user now despite no training

Well, that is the premise, though. Luke himself grew immensely powerful with much less training than Anakin. Some people are just born with stronger Force. Something something midichlorians
Ah this is great.

I wrote my own solver in Python+Numba. You've probably seen Robot Reboot https://www.robotreboot.com/challenge. I had a parser that could take a screenshot of the daily puzzles and feed them into my engine. Your post might just give me the kick in the pants to put it up online.

Curious if think this made you better at RR. I started out absolutely terrible, and actually got to the point where I could occasionally match the best scores on Reboot (but not their times of course!).
I'm not sure what you're referring to. What do you think would be unfair or impartial?
to me the trick is finding one or two reviewers that you understand (not necessarily agree with.) Then if the person says they dislike something and why, you can compare their history with your history of agreeing or disagreeing with them. When Ebert was alive, I had read (and saw) enough of his reviews to have that kind of reaction. For example, I knew Ebert hated David Lynch, and I understood (to an extent) why and I knew that I disagreed on the reasons, so I could filter his reviews. Other people writing on Eberts site don't give me that.

That's something you don't get with aggregators.
That's the answer right there: make the deal that they leave but the US maintains a military base. Problem solved.

I think the parent poster agrees with you, but wrote somewhat ambiguously. I think he meant something like “a movie that was visually very striking, [but] without any plot fundamentals[,] that [therefore] felt like a deep betrayal to the universe.”

For what it's worth, I agree with him. When I saw the movie and even just the promotional materials I thought it was visually striking and had very strong color themes. But wow, it was a train wreck in terms of plot, characters, faithfulness to the series, etc. I could go on for hours.

But to be fair, I also think The Force Awakens was terrible and painted the story into a dumb direction. Instead of “what if the Nazis came back to power in Argentina”, they should have moved the story into a direction more like “the alliance against a common enemy is fractured”, like what actually happened after World War 2, or “there are now many factions of ambitious warlords rising among the widely deployed and still incredibly powerful imperial military”, or some of both. The Mandalorian did the setting much better in that sense.

Semver will never "solve" the library dependency problem, because it is not a problem that can be "solved". We want 2 things out of dependency management.

1. If a new version of a dependency contains a desirable/necessary improvement (however that is defined), we want to automatically pick up the new version.

2. If upgrading to the new version will make things worse (however that is defined), we do not want to pick up the new version.

But there is no automated way of determining which of those is the case sort of actually trying the new version and fully testing it, even in the presence of "proper" semantic versioning (or any other kind of metadata you might provide).

- you may already have a workaround for the library bug in your code, so a non- interface-breaking fix in the library may break your usage until you remove the workaround. Semver can't help you with this because the library maintainer doesn't know about your workaround

- an update may have both properties (fixed one thing, broke something else). Semver can't make the judgement call about whether the tradeoff is a net improvement or not

- the update may change a behavior that is not formally guaranteed, but which your use has an (unknown to you) dependency on. So the semver can "correctly" label it as a non-breaking change, but it still breaks your use case.

- etc.

This doesn't mean semver is worthless. Knowing that something is definitely a breaking change because an API was removed or modified in an incompatible way will still save you time.

But you still need to actually test to know if updating a dependency is actually safe.
I feel like I need to preface this question: I’m in no way disparaging this program or interested in started a sociopolitical debate here.

Is there a similar program that a white male would qualify for? It looks interesting, but it’s apparently closed to me unless I lie by claiming to be something I’m not.

You have to view the cost of SLS like insurance. Premiums are also a huge waste of money until you need to make a claim. In this case, we didn't; SpaceX came through with flying colors. But that was far from a sure thing 15 years ago, and the risk of being left without access to space was real.
Interesting, I’ve seen both used so often I just assumed either worked.
I dunno, but it's not even that q-anon adopted gematria, i think there is some gematria or gematria-like stuff literally in some of the early posts from q which probably sent them down that particular rabbit hole.

I was really confused about why such a generally anti-semetric group was so into kabbalah. I think it might be antisemetic reasoning as well, this is how the ((globalist)) conspiracy signals each other so they need to understand it or some shit.
> I assume that means that you will be using their lawyers rather than your own (which they have in house and so are cheaper to use than the ones that bill you, the would be defendant by the hour).

Litigation is almost universally outsourced, especially for cases where damages might be large, even by companies like Microsoft.

The point is just to lower the resistance to adoption that legal risk causes.
There is no US law which is written statistically. I disagree with your '90%' characterization, but let's run with that. Would you be happy if our murder laws were 90%? Most of the time you can be prosecuted, but 10% of the time we let you go?

What if 10% of the time, we just said 'we won't investigate companies' when they break the rules, would that be good for you? What if those 10% of the time were typically the most egregious cases?

> Citation needed.

Citation: The existence of PR teams????

> Which arbitration service lets either party chose the arbitrator?

Who chooses the service (hint: it's almost always the company)? What are the rules for what constitutes an 'arbitration service'?

If you had any 'choice' in the matter, you'd only engage in an arbitration agreement if it benefits both sides. The way corporations use the law is to benefit them at your expense. I don't want an arb agreement, but they do, so I have to take it or suddenly I don't have easy access to my bank anymore, if I have access at all.

> Genuinely, ask your lawyer for advice. Most people knee-jerkedly rejecting arbitration haven’t asked a lawyer, probably don’t have one in the first place, and are clearly of de minimus legal or PR threat to a firm like Chase. In the event of a serious dispute, corporate counsel will note that to decision makers.

I have talked to lawyers about this, and most of them agree with all of my criticisms.
From what I recall reading of some histories of similar messing (including Shuttle), sometimes obvious culprits at MIC wouldn't mind getting a more sensible order... but the senator X and Y are interested in how many "jobs created" will show up for their reelection campaign.
> This never happens, you will first learn from a book or tutorials.

I have learned to code almost entirely from reading code. I hate tutorials and books.

I occasionally skim docs but mainly for the code examples.

So "never happens" is a curious take.
Other than review bombing as you say, I largely agree.

Well, maybe one more caveat: user expectations as they relate to the genre or company. One thing I noticed while browsing the hidden gems list* -- which have games with extremely high ratings -- is that there's a LOT of hidden object games on there. I think there's one cat series that appears like three or four times. And some more conventional genres like RTSes or action RPG's are hardly present at all.

I think this is due to expectations: people don't expect a lot out of a hidden object game, they're generally very simple, and a small indie title can easily meet those low expectations. Whereas a genre that has included many big budget titles, people have higher expectations, even larger, highly experienced dev teams have a hard time pleasing everyone.

You seem to think the NSO is some rogue org within Israel. Couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s simply a plausible deniability org that works for everyone, and counts every single US intelligence agency among its clients. The fact that you’re all upset about what they’re doing is exactly the point, you’re pointing your finger the NSO when it’s the NSA who’s paying them off.

Those same people would have to have been hired (at the latest) in 1991. Most ex-Soviets have retired or passed on by now.
This looks interesting - it would be helpful to be able to search by available runtimes, e.g. if it compiles to jvm or dotnet or wasm, or if it's gc'd. Would also help to differentiate paradigms between primary and additionally supported ones like OOP with functional features versus functional first with OO support.
> So, are you saying people should only obey the laws

Depends on what the law is.

Also, this may not even be illegal. Maybe this is just a legal loophole, and people are obeying the law.

In which case I am very happy that Microsoft found a completely legal loophole that will cause more code to be shared.

So by " side step copyright protections", we could just say that this is a completely legal loophole that has the effect of allowing more code to be shared but does not overrule other laws.

Which I think is good!

Yes, but someone has to pay for transmission and distribution into (and out of) residential areas.

The old economist joke is that if you really want to prevent crashes, don't put airbags and seat belts, put a spear on the steering wheel pointing right into the driver's face.
I don’t think you’re one of either of those groups btw. You’re taking ownership of a different kind of arrangement entirely.
You can run them either for general purpose inference. You can also fine-tune them and get improved performance for specific use cases.

It's safe to assume they're worse at every task than larger models, so I wouldn't look at use cases in terms of what tasks they can do compared to larger models.

But what's good about them is they're smaller so they can run on smaller and cheaper hardware. So an example would be to fine-tune and then run on some sort of local user device rather than in the cloud. This might become more practical in the future as hardware improves.
Sometimes I feel like this author, but then consider it may just be me getting older and resisting learning something new. I've never become an initv nor systemd expert but over time I have gotten to a point where I don't think systemd is out to make my life difficult, though I do wish creating a service was easier since I never ever remember how to do it and where the documentation on the options are.

But, I also think that modern OSs have somewhat outgrown their users. I'm not sure I actually need a multi-user OS, nor secure signing of various things. Though if I were to use Haiku and get what I asked for, maybe I'll get exploited and regret it somehow. Yet the likelihood seems so low versus the complexity involved to protect me.

Anyway, for those who think Linux is growing to have more than needed, you'll always have the distros that refuse to change, like Slackware. But, I think saying the old linux was better is nostalgia, since Slackware really isn't fun to use.
I've not bought them in a while, but don't most networks still require you to "activate" them, setting up an account with your personal details? It's possible that they don't rigorously check them though
Can't speak for California or LA, but in Dallas we had a plastic bag ban for a short period and it was sold as a way to reduce local litter, not reduce greenhouse emissions or protect the climate.

I didn't realize how effective it was until about 6 months when I was walking Downtown and noticed a plastic bag tumbling down the street. Prior to the ban, they were a regular sight and nothing I would have taken note of.
