I can assure you that the people who live in Lima are aware of the politics surrounding the tank plant. If you don't live in Lima, I wonder why you believe you would have heard "anyone say they voted for senate based on Abrams tank manufacturing."

The way it works is, the politicians who got the plant created out there earned some cachet with voters, and politicians today would get crucified by voters and the unions if they tried to move the plant. It's important enough that presidents give speeches there. (to put that fully into context: there is absolutely no other reason for politicians to give speeches there or even to be there, except perhaps some obscure form of self-flagellation) And of course voters in the entire surrounding state are pretty sensitive to the notion of losing industrial jobs, which earns the plant some protection from the state's US senators as well. People on the other side of the state might not be talking about it today, but they'd be talking about the plant if it got closed. Politicians understand this.
Firefox led a hand in making Rust, so I imagine if there is a browser that can make a more secure browsing experience, it would be Firefox, by making media decoders in Rust.
The pirate bay case demonstrated that you don't need to prove a specific instance of infringement, only that occurrence of infringement "somewhere/somehow" was more believable than the alternative theory that no such infringement has happened. It may be enough to demonstrate that infringement is trivial, and then point to user statistics to demonstrate that infringement is more believable than that infringement has never happened.
Do you have any advice or suggestions for college or graduate students who are not in industry, but interested in producing “stable boring” software business?

Thank you.

Something like Indian reservations in America? Still sovereign but still a state?
The problem with internal bounties is that you'd be granting them to the people with power to put in the security holes they find.
After he gets to North Korea you will not hear from him again.
But maybe only the teacher and another other person would understand it and the others would have thought you were having a seizure!
Hahha what? True banned them because they’re American.

There may be some zero days that NSO has exploited but it’s nothing like the cluster that is Android.
I honestly like the STs better as computer designs. They are clean and general-purpose while the Amigas ended up being hurt by an overly complicated hardware that made it expensive for Commodore to keep up with PCs.
I looked up the TDP of some laptop GPUs and they're all over 35W. The maximum TDP of the CPU the commenter was talking about, which has good integrated graphics, is 30W. The TDP of the mobile 4070 you mentioned is 115W(!)

> If it's not for you, fine. Find something else or accept it doesn't exist.

You seemed to be very dismissive of the person you were replying to, implying that it's not an issue at all because you can just disable it. I'm pointing out that it isn't always the case. I never said that your solution is completely useless, it's just not a good solution for most people

Also, I'm pretty sure the Framework doesn't have a built in dedicated GPU like you're saying, but an optional detachable module for one (that makes it more viable in this case though)
I don't think the problem is "MBA brain", at least not directly. MBA types may have earned a reputation of being distinctly out of touch with the "factory floor" and the end user, but their actions are often rational if viewed through sufficiently Excel-tinted glasses. To me, the RTO push does not seem rational in that way.

I fully admit that this is a half-baked hypothesis based mostly on vibes, but I suspect that a lot of execs operate more than they'd admit on "ape brain" concerns of social dominance, and feel threatened by the prospect of not having underlings in a contiguous physical territory. Part of what makes the cubicle (never mind the open layout) such a cultural touchstone for corporate soullessness is that the physical space you inhabit distinctly belongs to the company; it is not "your" space. Conversely, WFH takes that space from the company and gives it to the worker, at least metaphorically. Perhaps this is even the post-postmodern, meta-ironic, lazy-teenager version of "seizing the means of production", although I'll leave that argument to people who have actually studied the likes of Gramsci, Adorno and Deleuze.
You really think AI startups are valued based on the opinions of lawyers and experts? They’re valued based on whether the investors think they can find a bigger fool to hold the bag.
I don't think I've ever updated the julia extension. Is that something that has to be done manually? I'm on v1.51.2

Update: I just saw that the last release is from 2023-08-31, so I guess it's been updating automatically.
I don't think you should be looking at the best of the Microsoft/GitHub corpora to gauge their overall quality. You probably want to be looking at the quality of the median project, which is going to be heavily influenced by the long tail of low quality projects.

IMO, the long tail of non-code-reviewed, written-by-someone-in-their-first-month-of-coding, barely-even-compiles noob code[0] in Github is going to be orders of magnitude larger than the long tail of crap in Microsoft's internal repos.

[0] Hey, everyone has to start somewhere. There's nothing wrong with your first "hello world" program being buggy - that's what being a beginner means. But it's probably not the sort of code you want to train an LLM on.
Almost all people don't want to or aren't capable of implementing image codecs, the safer languages aren't fast enough to do it in, and the people who are capable of it don't want to learn them.
picking a VPN based on extreme privacy demands that's domiciled in Singapore seems pretty courageous
Maybe you don't want the peanut gallery commenting/complaining/whatever about your architecture until you are ready (otherwise architect astronauts could inundate your comm channels with suggestions, comments, PRs, etc)

Pre-announcing the SD Expansion Card and a new YouTube series
IANAL, but far as I understand, estoppel is purely a defense when being sued by whomever made the promise.

So it helps if MS sues you when you distribute copilot-generated code that infringes on MS copyrights, but if a third party sues you, you can't claim estoppel to compel MS to help you. You would need a contractual guarantee.
For me RT has mostly been a reasonable indicator of what is worth watching and what isn't, subjective as that might seem.

Some stuff though just doesn't make any sense to me (going back to the point about subjectivity).

I love the movie The Ninth Gate, and that scores 44% on RT with the critics, and 57% with the audience.

I know a lot of people who love it as well. So I thought that the reviews were perhaps influenced by Polanski's history, but then when you look at The Pianist, which came after by quite some years, it scored 95%. So what gives?
Bookmarks are like history that doesn't roll away.
It's a good book -- that and Learning Emacs are the two that I learned the most from. Have them both handy for those (many) times I need a refresher or to learn something new.
You can see how differently human bodies are reacting to any known transmissible virus or bacterial disease. Some will die, some do not even notice they were infected. Are there any exceptions? Obviously there so far never was an easily transmissible disease killing everyone, or we would not be here. That is no guarantee for the future, but it makes claims of likely extinction events sound a bit too strong, IMHO.
You should take some time to look up the current dockets for antitrust cases before making simplistic statements like that.

No one said anything about conspiracy... Anti-competitive business behavior though is definitely real, and growing for people that know about it through experience.

Your lack of knowledge concerning how business actually works is apparent in your post.
I worry about how nonchalantly researchers attribute these campaigns. They never tell you their methodology for their attribution, but it's always the attribution that non-technical people pay the most attention to.

Look at this article for example. The first two words are the attributed actor. Yet there is absolutely no way to prove it. Attribution on the Internet is really, really, really difficult. We don't know how difficult it is because we have no independent method to determine when we're right or wrong. And we would be foolish to think that attribution is never politically motivated.
I’ve seen equivalents for the C64 and Apple II.
My confidence in Project Farm was shook when he reviewed garden hoses. One of the hoses he reviewed never kinked, but I have the same hose and it kinks everyday multiples times in one session.
All good points, but hopefully Google would be able to find the resources to overcome these?
The pixel is decent if using graphene is. Not sure if any system is good by default. Apple fans think their defaults are somehow more private or secure, mostly due to marketing.
Tailscale creates a mesh network between your devices.

In addition, you can tell it to tell some or all of your devices to use another device as an exit node for traffic heading to the Internet.

Today they added the option to use Mullvad's VPN nodes to do that instead.
Patches only out for Ventura - any word on whether other versions like Monterey, Sonoma or iOS 17 are vulnerable?
As I posted upthread, the 2022 nominal return was more like 12%, 6-7% when inflation adjusted. Assuming parking demand doesn't collapse, which seems unlikely given ongoing gentrification and decreasing transit usage, that sub-4% rate is about to go up by quite a bit.
They do. But what would they do with that information?

People in the late USSR were in a similar situation. Even without necessarily knowing all the details, the average person, and certainly the intelligentsia and people working in the intelligence services, had a growing awareness of the absurdity of it all, how different the rest of the non-Communist world was, and so on. Something similar is true in China, today. A person in China who wishes to inform themselves about China's history or recent offences against human rights, can at this point, do so, and fairly easily.

But... then what? Can't talk about it. With whom would it be safe? Can't tell others what you've learned. Can't discuss your perspective.

In my view it was not the truth that destroyed e.g. the USSR. It was allowing people to organize independently of state control. That, plus truth, was fatal. Both the Chinese and North Korean ruling parties have learned that lesson. It doesn't actually matter if a significant proportion of the public knows the truth. They can know the truth, alone, in isolation, unable to act on it.
Yup, individuals struggling to have impact will cut corners and heavily impact tech debt :P
I’m mostly happy with ddg but I wish they had a feature allowing me to disable certain sites by default like kagi, even if that information was stored in local storage only and I’d have to add the exclude list manually.
I agree. Semver isn’t perfect, but it gives you a general idea of how hard an upgrade might be. That’s even more true with the most popular of libraries.

For example, Rails and React are the two most important dependencies in our system. They are extremely good about semver with major versions including highly detailed patch notes.
“Human-AI Differences” metric strongly predicts aspects of stock performance
ChatGPT has gained popularity in recent times. As a team with years of experience in the field of code quality, we decided to experiment with ChatGPT and asked it to create a new software metric.
Not Japanese. They got the word from Portuguese missionaries though.
This might sound crazy, but, since you don't have a degree, I suggest you don't waste your time applying for remote positions. Since lots of people want to work from home, the applicant pool for those positions is typically extremely competitive. Your biggest problem is that, with time, your bootcamp completion will become less important to employers. Since time is not on your side, I recommend that you increase the geographic radius you're applying to by 500 miles each month. You also might want to try to find tiny startups (in a subject area that interests you) that are hiring and have a tech stack that you utilized in your bootcamp. If you e-mail those tiny startups a customized pitch regarding why you really want to work for them, you might get lucky.

Afghans use the word Naan.
How is that different than "chocolate" simply being a Spanish word which is very popular? Stealing words from other languages is arguably how most words get created.
couldn't maybe carving out the military parts and making the rest one huge reservation work? residents can retain dual citizenship, or however native Americans do things.
This is great to see, what a fantastic addition to Kag,i i.

Yeah I see similarities to marginalia, but it’s great to have multiple services for the small web.

Apparently the author is aware of the alternative distros and even named a few of them, but their main issue is that they are not popular enough.

But look which ones are the actual most popular distro as voted by People Who Choose Linux on DW https://distrowatch.com/dwres-mobile.php?resource=ranking

Imho Void Linux is BSD With Linux kernel and the perfect option for the author
Seriously, with the whole libraries of these 8-bit consoles being a few tens of MB zipped, and distributed across the entire Internet thousands of times, it is just ridiculous that any IP holder wastes their time trying to suppress this particular sequence of bytes. Frankly it's embarrassing that our copyright system doesn't already make them public domain.
Lockdown mode massively reduces the attack surface, which would make it far harder to find an exploit.
Sony’s ILX-LR1 Is a Super-Compact 61-Megapixel Box Camera for Drones
We would all do well to remember we make things for users. The system is complex so that the user doesn't have to deal with it, and if we want Linux to get more than its current (pathetic) desktop market share, this is the way things will go. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink, and you can't make users care about this stuff when they just want to do their taxes, manage their businesses, talk to their friends, and look at their photos.
I wonder what will happen to the others planets, on a long scale... in a dynamical (chaotic) system stability is not granted, probably a bunch of asteroids-tools are needed to correct the deviation of all others planets form a desired configuration.
Surely this just leads to people who are desperate being taken advantage of ...
... and loved that I didn't have to spend the remainder of the afternoon apologizing for being as dumb as an apple or an egg.

The unfriendly people out there is just bad people. Real experts don't get angry at newbies, don't tell you that your question is wrong. Answers are wrong, questions aren't. Someone giving you a rude answer has probably something very wrong going on in his life and needs to feel smart at others' expense.

Unfortunately this behaviour has generalized. I've been trying to ask questions in unfamiliar areas and it's easier to educate myself than asking for help online.
There’s a great video on terraforming Venus: https://youtu.be/G-WO-z-QuWI?si=7D-mamEMlkHgNkgS
I would not call that an "extinction event", though. Maybe it would disrupt civilization, but that is not the same.
It seems that many languages use mama or something close for mother.
Wayland seems to be slightly more performant but Firefox, Steam and games are the worst example.

Steam doesn't seem to scale properly. Firefox struggles with native Wayland, especially if you also want GPU acceleration (same with Chromium though). Games are a mixed bag. A pure X environment didn't have these issues in my experience (but it obviously has others).
Methane is a lot more dense than hydrogen. You'd have to completely redesign the rocket.
There is upcoming EU regulation requiring security updates.

The problem there isn't commercial Android phones, it's open source projects that can't guarantee anything.
Apple is just using a wide memory bus, the same as GPUs and server-class x86 CPUs do. It's not even hard, it's just not something desktop CPUs previously had any use for so the current sockets don't support it.

And you could do the same thing without even changing the socket by including RAM on the CPU package as an L4 cache. Some of the Intel server CPUs are already doing this.
You're joking right? North Koreans are literally starving to death.

Has anyone noticed that Copilot will shade out it’s answers more often when it’s writing code now? Usually I’ll paste in react components and ask it to fix the tailwind styling, but once it starts writing it gets filtered out by some secondary filter about half way through. I thought maybe the code it was outputting was too similar to copyrighted code and it triggered a liability filter of some sort.

In any case, super annoying to have that happen so consistently these days that I just use chatgpt to fix my tailwind styling now.
Tailscale Funnel is the already existing feature for exposing ports.
Both come from PIE "wódr" for water. Romance languages descended ftom a synonym "ekeh" which resulted in aqua/agua/eau/... and the word itself meant "a body of water" like a lake or a river iirc.
Like an Indian reservation? That's what I think would be the best compromise.
Taxi, bar, hotel, restaurant, are very common. Maybe because of tourism?

I have no idea what “kaput” means…
I am always fascinated by people insisting on base 10 orders of magnitude, which introduces an anthropocentric component to many quantifications where it arguably doesn't make a lot of sense.

If you take the natural choice of base, e, then "orders of magnitude" would only imply Todd to be 7.39 times better, which he is in many cases — for example, by measuring the self-information of reviews — and he may even cross that threshold in the aggregate.
The show didn’t demonize Rorschach. The white supremacists in the show twisted his ideology to legitimize their beliefs and provide a powerful symbol for their cause.

You might disagree, but that’s just an example of what makes the show so good. It’s shocking and subtle and up for interpretation. It makes you think, regardless of whether you agree.
plausible deniability?
I'll always take an interesting failure over a boring success. I thought that TLJ was incredibly uneven, but I wanted a sequel to that far more than a sequel to TFA.

Remember not to confuse interface with implementation. GPT's interface is a single stream of tokens - so if you want it to see before and after context, that just means you have to encode them into a single stream.
That was a fun computer. I got to play around with them at school which was actually my first computer experience.

The 2600 though, I just could never be excited by. I feel it could only be truly appreciated by someone in the actual late 70s, before anything better had ever been experienced. Once that ship sailed, with the NES especially, it could never really go back. But I'm sure people with fond memories of those days would disagree with me! (And youths these days will probably call NES and SNES barbaric and no fun!)
How can you claim that? Certainly those who cannot pay are suffering from a shortage.
getting tired of hearing about the old web. and still not seeing anything that resembles it. everything still needs js. everything still needs cloudflare bypasses if you view it on tor. this includes whatever cool hacker site you think you have because i almost never see these. i have had a site with just plain html for 10 years and it has no nonsense just content, you can do this too, it doesnt need a movement that just talks about doing it.

not that it matters since the old web wasn't good. it was as terrible as now. the UI of absolutely every website ever made has been terrible quirky garbage compared to something like windows 98. Even back then there was a massive difference going from windows 98 (sane GUI) to web (garbage hackjob GUI + ads (YES REMEMBER 40 POPUPS? ADS? TOOLBARS? THE OLD WEB WAS NOT GOOD IT WAS A HELL JUST LIKE NOW)).

the content was never good either. every topic discussed on the web is little cliques who believe some easy to digest nonsense and then if you go skim some books on the subject the meta is completely different. except programming since that just centers around the web [1]. think of anything else like cooking or engineering

the web is a terrible protocol that should have died 20 years ago and been replaced with something that was modern at the time like freenet (and they should have made an alternative to html etc).

1. and this is ironic too since programming is the one field that is steered by the web's body of pseudoknowledge and as a result you have people who think C, PHP, and OOP are legitimate programming practices.
It would be quite boring. There are many movies about the subject, 28 days later and sequels, more that i have forgotten because they were funded to be a government propaganda vehicle and lost their artistic integrity. There's a video game called Plague Inc that is said to be a quite accurate simulation.
At the risk of being boring: software liability would go a long way towards getting companies to do this work themselves. Even though Apple is the largest company on the planet an entity that has a small fraction of the budget is apparently able to do a better job. I don't see why Apple couldn't make those people an offer they can't refuse. That takes them off the market and has them doing something productive.

The most beautiful part of it is that no matter what fiber plan you pick, the price is always 777 CHF/year.

This effectively means that the only thing stopping you from getting a 25 Gbps connection is, well, the fiber connection and the hardware

Interesting question.

Etymologically ... they're distinct (pipe derives from Latin *pipa, tube is of unknown origin), but the meanings are largely interchangeable.

<https://www.etymonline.com/word/pipe>

<https://www.etymonline.com/word/tube>

"Pipe" has an additional meaning of a musical instrument (which may be related to its origin).

"Tube" tends to be used for larger structures, such as the London Underground Railroad, a/k/a "The Tube". It's also a reference (via cathode ray tube to television, which the Late Senator might have in mind. Even larger structures may be referred to as bores or tunnels.

"Pipes", though, are more usually used as an alternative reference to network or Internet infrastructure. Which makes Stevens's description somewhat discordant. An out-of-tune piping, if you will.
