Rotten tomatoes scores aren't an average of a bunch of vectors, they're an aggregation of binary data points. Each individual review is distilled down to "good" (100%) or "rotten" (0%), then they're all averaged up.

A better way to view the critic score is, "X% of film critics think this film is worth watching."

And the audience score is: "Y% of moviegoers who leave movie reviews on Rotten Tomatoes think this film is worth watching."

This is why Toy Story can get 99% (it's a crowd pleaser), and why daring, impactful films can sometimes get lower scores (they can be polarizing).

Yeah, this is nothing new. Stocks always bump on layoff news.
This is a very naive way to look at the world. Even if theoretically they would be happy with such "self-stable economy" [they naturally won't—nothing prevents human desires to ask for more and try to build win-win friendships,] Russia and China are not sitting around; they would go and meddle with their affairs.

Mind you, I am not saying there is an existential possibility of a better policy, but the calculus would be nowhere as trivial as this.
So hibernate is somewhat unreliable and prone to data loss, image you hibernate after having installed a new kernel, so the decision was made to disable it due to that IIRC, independent of secure boot.

With secure boot and lockdown, hibernate is no longer possible on an alternative reason: We need to ensure that the kernel memory has not been tampered with. If you hibernate, you could then go and modify the memory in the swap and bypass the lock down security guarantees.

To address that you'd need to authenticate the swap using the TPM somehow, but I don't know enough about TPMs to know if that's feasible. Usually people would seal some crypto key against the TPM but here it's somewhat the opposite way around.
"now supported." to me means you can actually use it so this seemed to be talking about the implementations. I guess you were using it in the theoretically supported sense? Anyway, it's hardly an official spec (like X.org is for X11s) when the implementations pick and chose.
> I don't recall much if any opposing new coal plants.

I can't argue with your subjective recollections, but this is not by any means an accurate picture of environmentalism historically. Acid rain in West Germany (caused by burning coal) is pretty much ground zero of environmentalism as a politically organized force.
There is nothing inherent in Wayland that makes the it work better as opposed to X11. It is all about developer focus. If KDE developers spend the majority of their resources on the one thing it obviously gets better.
what if rockstar was razor all along
The cost isn’t sunk cost at all. These models need to be trained and retrained as data sets increase. Putting aside historical cutoff points, there’s a lot of data and kinds of data not currenty used and the costs even to train the current models is incredible.

I think you guys are missing a massive technical consideration which is cost. Training cost, offering cost. As with everything else in tech, outside of the bubble created by ZIRP over the last decade and a half (and the entire two generations of tech workers who never learned this important lesson thus far in their careers), costs matter and are a primary driver of technology success.

If you attached dollar costs to these models above, if the data was available, you’d quickly discover who (if anyone) has a sustainable business model and who doesn’t.

A sustainable model is what determines long term whether w technology is available and whether that leads to further improvement (and increasing sustainability/financial
value).
Your coworkers are in the exact same situation as you and it's reasonable to believe that they also understand the situation as you do. Perhaps they're just not as motivated to get out of it, sometimes people get stuck in positions through a kind of Stockholm syndrome and don't believe that they're better. Instead of saying anything negative to them or your boss's boss simply encourage your coworkers. Let them know that they're good people that they're good at their job that there are many opportunities out there and they should evaluate their position their career and their happiness all together and that they are bright enough to move to other places if it would further their own happiness and career.

It does remind me of a position I had in the past at a company that very much had that abusive style of management that can keep people trapped. I had been at the company for many years and there was also other people who had been there just as long as I had. We were all in senior positions we knew the technical ins and out of every aspect of the company in our business. The company's technique was to simply tell us we were lucky to have a job and that no one else would want to put up with us. Finally I woke up and got to the point I got another job where I was appreciated and yes sometimes people who are good at their job have quirks like I do but good employers learn to work with that and they learn to help you interact with other people in a better way. Because they value your skills and they know everything else can be taught or moderated. When I left that company within 3 months every other person who had been there as long as I had left as well all for top-tier companies. So who knows maybe you're leaving will wake up your coworkers to realize they are also better than this job and they don't have to put up with this.
They also mentioned their Microsoft GitHub forge to file issues. They really want you to create proprietary accounts to interact with them. You’d think a small web initiative would be led with small, decentralized/federated, libre software choices.
How is the press free? Even the ANP nieuws is owned by some hedgefund that calls itself 'fuck off'. Do you think they will ever print something against the status quo?
> It's easier just to write in the fast language in the first place.

I’m not sure if that’s measurably true in terms of ergonomics (e.g., there’s no cognitive load difference between using a borrow checker, types, programming defensively, thinking about async at all). But I have no actual experience with go to offer a compelling counterpoint

> Like I said, I've straight-up ported Erlang programs into Go, network clustering and all, and Go was quite significantly faster

Was the JIT any help?

In your view, what technical decisions do you think prevent performance in Erlang VM? Why do you think good performance either impossible, difficult to achieve, or unlikely due to these reasons?
Given how badly that idea failed with China, I don’t see it happening any time soon with Cuba, a mere 90 miles from the US mainland. That proximity is a main reason why Cuba gets such special attention.
Most of your recent comments are all 'culture war politics' related. That you'd accuse anyone else of grinding a political axe belies and lack of self awareness.
I think it's a safe bet to say it's not altruistic. And, if Meta were to wrestle away OpenAI's moat, they'd eagerly create their own, given the opportunity.
The vast majority of engineers do not have good ideas about UX or design, sadly.

What's worse is the vast majority of engineers somehow think they understand UX and design by mistakenly extrapolating their engineering expertise into domains which their engineering expertise does not apply. They end up in this hubris-fueled Dunning-Kruger feedback loop of creating software with a bad user experience.

If you're an engineer who does understand the user and what makes a good experience for them, you have a power few possess and you can make some seriously profitable and useful things.
That very much depends on your definition of "works".

Does the machine go through the steps to save memory to disk and enter a low power state? Yes.

But then windows can and does decide to wake itself up at any time, resulting in physical damage to the machine if it's stored in a closed bag. Discharging the battery and heating up the entire machine dramatically reduces your battery's lifetime. You cannot disable this behavior without going into the registry.

So yes, it 'works', with the caveat that the machine may wake itself at any time, burn through the entire battery and possibly do irreprable damage to your machine.
That government funded research shows safe backdoor can be implemented.

There is no question that mass surveillance is possible. It's the government claiming that what it wants tech companies to implement is not mass surveillance.
That would also enable the EU to stop being in tow of the US in every effing disaster like Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and so on.
I was vegan for about 8 years. I stopped this past February.

The first 2-3 years were a breeze. I knew that what I was doing was good for the planet. There were fewer animals suffering at _my_ expense. Everyone said eating a lot of plants was good for you so I must have been healthy.

But eating a whole foods plant based diet (which is what people focusing on the nutrition aspect of veganism assume you're doing) is really fucking hard. Getting some plant based meat and pasta is vegan, sure, but is it healthy? Did I feel good?

In February I realized that I had to include coffee as a mainstay of my diet in order to feel energized and that didn't sit right with me. Why didn't my food make me feel energized? Why did I have to blow my nose the second I finished eating any meal? So I decided to stop. I went to what's popularly called an "animal based" diet (grass-fed beef, minimally processed whole milk cheese, eggs from chickens treated and fed well, and fresh fruit) and I feel great but now that I've lived through 1 honeymoon period of a new diet, I'm going to wait and see how I feel over the coming months and years. I don't depend on coffee to stay awake and I'm able to power lift regularly with a strength that I don't remember feeling when vegan.

Veganism works in bursts. You can be vegan for a day or a week or a month and feel good. But my current anecdote-based hunch is that people feel better when they have minimally processed food and the best way to get a human's worth of nutrition from minimally processed food is with animal based foods.

This author should commit to an update post in 5 years to talk about how they feel then.
Just a quick note to say that JWST is not the first telescope to give us these kinds of views! There are numerous others, SOFIA, IRAS, IRTF, and Alma to name a just a few.
It's as official as, say, the HTML 5 spec, or the HTTP spec.

The implementations can be plenty different as long as they conform.

It's not that I'm not getting your point. But part of the reason I wrote this rant is better than others, is because it's not harping on the point of "omg! someone dared to write a standard that has multiple implementations! the audacity!", but instead has criticisms of the standard itself.

I understand you don't like the standard-and-multiple-impls model, but it's worth noting that the most popular Wayland implementations share plenty of auxiliary and utility code in the form of libraries (e.g. libinput, libdisplay-info, etc). It's not as fragmented as it may seem, people are pretty reasonable.

Personally I think this is a healthy way to run things, for example because changes to the standard can easily be validated in multiple implementations, which tends to promote better quality for all over time.
Wow, thank you! This made my day: "Consider the possibility that introducing an arbitrarily small tame asteroid
could throw a planet out of the solar system. This would be a different kind
of instability than those that have been so far considered. It would be of
mathematical interest to prove that a system consisting of a sun and three
planets could be disrupted by a single arbitrarily small tame asteroid."
This. We haven’t even entered the get-serious monetization era.

Now that the infinite free money pump has been turned down a bunch, we’re going to see what reality looks like.

> It's probably a pretty tenuous connection given a lot of large private sector companies used to have defined benefit pensions too.

They stopped because tax policy was adopted to incentivize more portable, defined contribution plans, as a deliberate effort to both increase retirement insecurity and promote labor mobility.
> Tailscale needs to know information about your Mullvad license in order to authenticate you with the exit nodes.

That doesn't sound strictly true.

Mullvad and Tailscale need to settle their costs between each other, and Tailscale needs to settle with you.

What Tailscale needs to know about "your" Mullvad license is that x of y devices are using a Mullvad exit node, so they can charge you for y.

What Mullvad needs to know is a high water mark usage (data transfer, throughput, connections, whatever) for Tailscale (not you) so they can charge Tailscale some carrier grade rate.

There's little reason Tailscale couldn't do a iCloud Private Relay style Apple<->CloudFlare privacy preserving handoff.

> arbitrator is hired by the business and finds in their favor 99% of the time

Wrong and untrue. Arbitration fees are typically paid for by the firm, yes, but this is a plus. The arbitrator is randomly selected or a consensus choice in every system I know of.

Win rates for consumers vary by forum, from 60% with FINRA [1] to 22% with AAA [2]. For context, it’s about a third in court [3] and lower still (consumer v. corporate defendant) in small claims. (If you adjust for non-wealthy claimants, the skew in favour of arbitration leaps.)

`ls` does have a 'parent' in the hierarchy: the system calls used to implement directory listings. If `ls` were deprecated (eg. if GNU decided to deprecate it and GNU/Linux distributions actually decided to go along with that), then you or someone else would need to write a new implementation using the system calls, in order to have a useful system.
AIUI waypipe should actually be better for network transparency than X was. Of course, that requires that the other end is compatible and that the software runs on all the involved operating systems, which does seem to be a sticking point.
Thanks! I was familiar with RTO since my employer is doing it by gradually increasing required # days in the office.

But not everyone will know what it is .
Of course, but "most people do" seems pretty wrongheaded. Most people would not like to see random gore interspersed in e.g. their tech forum, or their friends posting family photos. There's no big conspiracy here.
Thanks for the explanation. That kind of sucks though. I was spoiled by how good hibernate works on Windows and assumed any modern desktop OS should come with this feature if it wishes to "cut the king". I guess it's another nail in the "switching to Linux" coffin.
Thanks, I'm a sucker for word play!
Covid seems to be, physically and emotionally, a primarily Western disease. And as bad as the fallout has been where I live, it seems to have been particularly damaging in the US (on both of those counts).

LLM = a person talking to a computer.

censoring/moderating that is akin to censoring/moderating what you enter in Notepad, and I feel we are approaching the point where we will soon be having unironic arguments against general purpose computers. Unsafe/dangerous/unethical, what if someone writes a no-no word in Notepad, what if someone draws a swastika in Paint, etc, etc, etc.

this is all so tiresome.
What? What does xhost have to do with Wayland?
Been a lurker for a while and just wanted to comment on the post. I still think recommendation still stands.

So basically in the future they're going to focus more on competing with Particle. Development of hobbyist stuff will eventually stop. Because: VCs.

> Windows can wake itself from hibernate.

The USB bus and sound system is still the weak spot on a windows computer in my experience, this website, reddit, youtube, or dailymail generally takes them out.

Surprised that people used sleep and hibernate, considering TSR's were invented in the dos days and the browser can do lots of fancy stuff.

Fine, but that's missing the point. The prohibition of radio jammers is not censorship, other policies are.

There’s not much to reinvent. They could have setup & hosted an XMPP server with MUCs & microblogged posts on whatever ActivityPub option they chose (or similar softwares).
A similar thing is in use for mainframe applications to this very day to try to "modernize" them.

Basically fancy screen-scrapers that turn everything into forms and menus and fields, they do have their use. (In the industrial case, it's for things like text entry and mainframe applications to be made more "touchscreen friendly" for modern industrial devices and modernize them to the modern metal you have to use.)
Wasn't that mostly for DUV ? I thought EUV was actually based on TSMC R&D.

Probably not, in isolation.

But can the original chef that wrote the recipe produce the same thing several million or billion times a year?
This. During lockdowns, I dusted off an old PC and set it up with windows for gaming. The computer was in front of my bed. One out of two nights, the thing would randomly wake out of hibernation, blasting the freaking blue bitlocker screen at me (password unlock, since that PC didn't have a tpm).

This PC was kept reasonably up to date, too (usually installed whatever update at the most a day or two after they came out, complete with the reboot), so not sure what it was hoping to do, exactly.

You are right, this is a good idea and I encourage you to post it on kagifeedback.org as a feature suggestion.

In the meantime you can toggle the 'non-commercial web' lens which will include KSW (and some other things).
I also thought right away about stumbled upon. It was an amazing idea and great implementation too.
Programming on Windows is still a huge PITA.
X11 works.. when noone actually uses X11, but actually some wrapper API that was made alongside the development of X11, or suffered through effectively replaying history. Some fun things I recall encountering while trying to use it:

Want to detect a left click? Sure! How about the back/forward buttons on the mouse? nope, not in the API; well, if you try pressing them you'll see them going to mouse button constants 8 & 9, but I didn't find that in any documentation.

Want to get scrolling events? There are mouse press things for that (even left/right!). Want to also handle touchpads which may have fractional scrolls? Well, there is some confusing "valuator" stuff, and you can take a delta between two valuator event floats.. but after using it for a while, you'll notice that the app will like randomly scroll by large distances. Turns out... that valuator value is a globally accumulated value, so you have to hack in a thing to "reset" the "calibration" of that any time the mouse exits a window (try it -
move mouse out & in a window, scroll one tick, repeat - you'll never scroll anywhere).

For text input, you can thankfully call a thing that'll do XCompose & most key handling for you, but to handle xmodmap I believe you have to write the mapping functionality yourself; didn't bother. Then there's some stuff about how in some context a window was not focusable through some specific method for some undetermined amount of time after being made visible, but there might be some reason for that (never bothered to figure it out).

Now, I don't know if wayland does any better on any of this, but I sure hope it does, as it does seem to at least make an attempt at being usable. Maybe wayland will go the same route, with a middle-man library that handles all the DE-specific stuff. There's already some of that for window decorations.
Tailscaled runs as root. Is there a way to confine it, without losing functionality?

As it connects many devices in my network, a vulnerability in Tailscale will have a significant impact (they had recently a nearly 10 CVE). That’s not the case with the standard client server approach (clients can run user space Wireguard).

Even though I don’t open ports with Tailscale (more precisely, I outsource them to Tailscale), I still can’t sleep well at night!
That depends entirely on how much control the investors have. For a company as old and established as Arduino and for only $22 million, I’d guess it’s not all that much.
As long as you have a static IP address, this is trivial and typically very reliable. Throw an ATS battery into the mix and the internet will be super reliant, even when the power goes down.

Am doing this at home with a fibre line and it's been super reliable.
Lagrange cold-starts in roughly a second on my M1 Mac. That's roughly the same as Terminal.app on the same hardware.

Games tend to take a lot of time to start up because they need to preload heavyweight data, such as textures, models, maps, sounds, video. You don't need any of that in a desktop application.
