Imho Go is really good for self contained micro-services. The way Go does binaries and the cross-compilation part are great.

Otoh, Java has a huge ecosystem. Huge. This plus dependency managemnt make it the first choice in most cases. Not even going to go into the massive innertia given that Java has been around for decades (who is going to rewrite everything in go?)

Today most of the time I pick Kotlin which is sort of whatbJava could have been (or maybe will become) with proper investment and care.
PACER has a search facility. I am interested in reading the complaint and other filings.
I think it's one of the intents behind the article to call for less barbaric settlements because we want more disputes like that in the future, not less.
Get a Rabbit: Book reviews about statistics
once the copyright expires it is obviously going to be free, yes. but someone needs to preserve the code until then.
I find that both, puzzles and problems can pet your brain with the reward of getting something right through reasoning. I guess the joy you get from problems maybe stems from the results or impact beyond the reasoning and solving part.
Definitely not apocalypse proof. Apocalypse resistant!

It's on my bucket list seeing that though.
Yes, but sometimes that's what's called for. I think I may have found my answer to where LLMs might be useful for short communications: softening something that might be interpreted as "curt" or even "rude" while not really changing the message.
Conserving a Burmese offering vessel
This reminds me of the tenuous RIAA claim that every pirated piece of media represented a lost sale back when they were suing their customers in the 2000s.
Traditional VC companies wouldn't work because they'll always enshittify. Even on consumer space, you can see enshittification from MS, Sony and Apple.
I really don't see a reason why the companies you listed would need that 2% royalty at all honestly. They already get the 30% from the sales themselves, and could very well financially support the existence of an OSS game engine with no extra royalties. Sony and MS already develop the Unity and Unreal integration for their platforms without charging extra royalties.

The devs using the OSS engine also wouldn't be stopped from spending resources on making the engine better for their uses (and in turn, making it also better for everyone), similarly how it works with Linux.
Copyright doesn't protect style or genre [1], so these suits seem destined to fail. That said, it seems like it is time to reexamine those laws in light of current technology before it kills off creative works.

Those things are not similar.

A nuclear arms reduction treaty ensures that all parties keep their own relative power (that is not dictated by the nukes) without going into a boundlessly expensive arms-race that would bankrupt all of them.

A prohibition on cyberweapons exports doesn't have any similar impact. It wouldn't even make defense cheaper. It's something that may be useful for civilians, but how often do civilian concerns enter those high-level treaties?

(Anyway, I'm not even sure it gains us anything. The absence of somebody exploiting them does not make the vulnerabilities go away. What would really help is if some moderately advanced country decided to take their head outside of their ass and do something to protect themselves. But I don't expect to actually see that happening, everybody only wants to work on the offensive.)

You have to be ducking kidding. Works great for me.
> How did OP even remotely rationalize his decision?

That's not hard for me to understand, because they basically explained it in their SO post. They thought that since they clearly explained to their director that the statement "we ran a pen test" was false, in writing, that they essentially "transferred" any liability to their director. To clarify, that line of thinking is wrong, but I can understand where it came from.

That's why ethical training for software engineers is important, so that it's unambiguous that people were at least taught where the clear line exists, and if they go over that line it's because they chose to, not because they didn't understand where the line was.

CO2 Emissions from Steel production are a big issue, because a significant portion of industry, use Basic Oxygen Furnaces, where oxygen is blown into molten iron to burn out the carbon into CO2.

Burning Iron for energy would be silly for general energy production because it takes energy to make iron. It's not a primary energy source! It can be used in specialist applications, like Thermite, where it allows for more energetic reactions than typical hydrocarbons.
Some comments have pointed out that this doesn't actually mention a difference from the base rate of violent deaths in the relevant countries. Sure, fine.
I think the other significant missing numbers are those who die from human-driven environmental disaster. One estimate on climate change deaths in the recent decades is 2M, and the WHO has estimated 250k/yr in 2030-2050.

Since we collectively have known about climate change as a concern for decades, and have known that large numbers of civilian deaths, disease, displacement, etc are predictable results, and have nevertheless chosen to pump carbon in to the atmosphere at ever-increasing rates (except a single dip in 2020), then under a consequentialist framework, these un-targeted victims ought to count just as much as intentionally-targeted activists.

If those who benefit from the pro-emissions status quo may kill you whether you protest or not, either through neglectful inattention to the consequences their own actions, or through hostile retribution, but they can only possibly be confronted with any direct responsibility for their _intended_ victims, perhaps it's best to protest.

As an ethics note, I am aware there are those who say, "we're not responsible for the 250k/yr who die from climate change in the near future merely because we emit above a sustainable level; our _goals_ were merely to heat our houses and fly to Europe on vacation, whereas the _goal_ of someone who murders an activist is clearly to cause death." And I think this _can_ be part of a coherent ethical vision, but I would ask that they revisit Anscombe's critique of Truman's decision to use fission weapons on civilian targets. If you believe that it was "good" to drop the bombs and hasten the end of the war because it resulted in fewer total deaths, and the hypothetical deaths averted in a long conventional war have the same moral weight and standing as the civilians killed by the atomic bombs, then why would you not believe that targeted and untargeted climate deaths have the same ethical weight? Or from the converse side, if you believe we are not responsible for deaths caused as predictable effects of actions which are motivated by heating/transporting/building etc, i.e. you believe an important ethical factor is the presence or absence of an _intention_ to kill innocent people (as versus merely knowing they will be killed as an effect of an action initiated with some other intention), then do you also believe that Truman, who chose to drop the bomb on cities, is a mass murderer?

It's problematic because all proofs of the alleged "sins" come from a known bad actor.

Or is being circumspect about the claims of those holding absolute power not part of the hacker ethos anymore?
Thx; for what it's worth, my reaction is one of astonishment not dismissiveness - that's why I enjoy HN to see different perspectives :). E.g. Even beyond resolution, I've actually capped the refresh rate on my steam deck to 40, so have zero interest, personally, in screen refresh above 60, or even brightness - all massive battery and power and heat menaces. It's largely because for me, It occupies a completely different use case than my desktop gaming machine. I can't imagine playing overwatch or something where I'd care about really high refresh rate, in a portable gaming device with game pad controls, so I'm always genuinely curious to hear different experiences :)

(as another example - for me, the number one actual killing feature of steam deck is the seamless sleep mode. It's so good! It makes significantly more difference to my portable usage than any numbered spec :)
There is a real argument on the other side, though. We're dealing with technologies that they've when given access to loads of data. Health data is heavily regulated, and rightly so, but that regulation greatly hinders innovation.

Hell medical data access problems are bad enough even when we aren't talking about innovation: simple problems in sharing data between different systems/providers leads to bad outcomes all the time.

https://www.techrepublic.com/article/data-quality-in-healthc...

So it's a case where fragmentation and regulation are already leading to bad outcomes for patients, and where innovation is suppressed because of lack of access, especially to population-level data.

Even without ai, imagine being able to identify various kinds of outbreaks by correlating nearby diagnoses in real time, and flashing the local nurses that there's a serious food poisoning outbreak happening fire their consideration when people call in with early symptoms. We should be able to do this easily.

We should protect people's information, but we also need to build a road to a better tomorrow. The current rules are, in fact, broken, and we need new rules which lead to better outcomes.
Sorry mate, but you did not see them properly. In February, we had some that looked like in the video to the naked eye. And I was in the outskirts of Stockholm, so neither that remote nor that far north. Obviously doesn't happen that often, though the locals weren't bothered much.
hello,

idk ... i would heavily recommend: try to read stuff, its much more efficient than watching videos -> eg. time vs information.

additionally texts can - and must - be consumed in a non-linear fashion: go back & forth, mark stuff, read excerpts, follow references etc.

and imho. get your "feet wet" - books / articles / courses / theory is great, but especially in (linux) system-administration most things are acquired by doing stuff / solving problems / getting in contact with the "real" world ... and if its only in the sandbox of your home-network behind some router...

consume howtos / tutorials & follow the references to fundamentals. your knowledge will get broader over time and fundamentals always pay off, but you can't learn it all at once from the start :)

for example: DNS is the basis of all services in a network.

learning how it works and following best-practices pays off not just multiple but a 100 times the time invested to wrap your head around it ;))

There are multiple brands of Muesli in many large grocery stores everywhere I've tried to buy some. Most don't have any added sugar. This is the first I've heard of it being difficult to find.
Honestly backwards compatibility in rust is already half-assed anyway. Trying to use a fixed version of the compiler (important in some contexts such as security software) is a huge pain in the ass.
I've read somewhere that Google extensively uses mailing lists internally. They’re probably using the same codebase for their internal mailing lists, and the storage costs effectively nothing to them.
Isn't that exactly why Rust has “Editions”?
Not sure what apps you are running but everything I have wanted to install on it either compiled from source, compiled from ports, or has a package, without too much hassle. (Worst thing was having to type 'cmake' instead of 'make' for building llama.cpp)

BSD has its issues, for sure, but on the question of ZFS support it is stellar.
I drink black coffee and usually a piece of fruit like a banana or an Apple (I don't really care for breakfast so much). Sliced blueberries and strawberries are amaze, too.

But unsweetened (Greek) yoghurt with some oats/"granola?" and chopped fruit (like strawberries) is amazing.

Energy in energy out, Adult intake for average activity level is like 2k kCal or 8k kJ or so. I usually think like 1500/6000 or so since I wfh.

Let's do American so take your 1500 kCal, maybe leave keep 800 for dinner, 500 for lunch, 200 for breakfast (and snack during the day). So just make sure your breakfast is 150-200kCal.

Apparently it's 90kCal for a large egg (78g), so you could have 2 maybe with a dash of sauce of some kind for breakfast just fine.

But otherwise you could have anything: https://travel.earth/breakfast-around-the-world/ just ensure food type/portion size is controlled and balanced for vitamins etc as well. Soups (Asia and other parts) look pretty good too so I may try adding that in myself to my routine.
The way I see it is that all living systems inevitably grow in complexity until they decay and die. This is their nature. As we are part of the system we can't help feeling trapped when the decay and pain is creeping in, but if we can take a larger (Taoist) look at the processes and flow itself then we can find peace as well as our own place within that flow.

By letting go we can achieve the greatest well-being for ourselves and others. We can perform our work and step back, letting things be as they are. The only way they can ever be.
Has never been the case in my many years of using it. Hundreds of MB permanent RAM usage for the daemon (which it wouldn’t require if it was properly designed), everything taking well above 10s. None of this has ever been an issue with Maven.
This is true. However, no matter how desperate the situation is, we'll still have opportunities to make it less bad, or much much worse.
That post is almost 7 years old. My second link is to the test suite mentioned at the end, which if you look at it you'll see that name constraints are now universally supported. I don't think this take is valid anymore.

The premiums are nowhere near that cheap.

I have the best insurance policy my employer offers, where I have a $250 annual out of pocket max. I pay an additional $230/mo for the coverage over their base plan; I pay $900/mo to add my wife to the plan.

I'm just one datapoint, and there may be better plans out there, but you're presenting an alternative that doesn't exist for 95% of Americans.

I made the cardboard scanner many years ago both to scan whole books as well as sections of books from the library. It worked pretty well but nowadays in practice I usually look into the open library at the Internet archive first. Hope it sticks around.
In the context of liberalism and rights, you can certainly establish a system of natural law based on reason instead of the existence of God. Whether or not 'reason' comes from God is an interesting ontological question, but irrelevant to political philosophy. The point is that we can derive ethics from observations on the natural world. It is an apple's nature to fall to the ground, and based on observation of cause and effect, we have described a set of laws for this phenomenon. There is nothing particularly mystical or religious about gravity.

When a government passes a law that prohibits transgender people from obtaining healthcare to treat their condition, that is a violation of their natural right to live.

There is no shortage of genocides and pogroms committed by religious groups, were they being 'nihilistic'?.
What a clickbait headline.

And Russia killed thousands in Chechnya to prevent NATO expansion.

And Russia killed thousands in Georgia to prevent NATO expension.

And Russia was a victim in WW2.

No it didn't and no it wasn't, it was an attacker who invaded it's neighbours after it cut up Eastern Europe countries together with Germany. This unchallenged lie is the source for the war in Ukraine.

I'm astonished how people in the West have followed Russian propaganda for a hundred years.

NATO expanded because countries that had been invaded in WW2 and before wanted to be secure from Russia, secure from being killed, secure from being raped, secure from being plundered and oppressed.
The ability to ask people what is contained within a book isn't obviously copyright infringement.

Merely summarizing info and attributing it to the source is the basic element of learning, for both machines and human beings.

These suits are necessary becsuse it's not clear where the line is, and if ChatGPTs functions actually cross it.

What is clear is that OpenAI is doing its best to avoid infringing anyone's copyright even if it is trivial for them to do so. They have the training data so they can simply output it word for word bypass the LLM. They don't do that and further restrain their LLM from making too long recitations.

If you can trick / manipulate the LLM into giving you too much then I say that infringement is on you.
Interesting question, continuing on this, since they probably used GPL-3 code with the Affero clause, do they have to open source GPT? (The Affero clause is I believe the more directly applicable license thingy, though CC by-sa should also work.)

I generally agree with you there. Permanent backwards compatibility has strong early rewards and strong late punishments.

I'd love to see programming languages and frameworks add a "gamma" phase to their initial releases. Alphas can be for the internal development, betas can be for stuff that's being tested for bugs and functionality on a public level, and gamma can be a state of "the code can be used out in production, but the API and functionality may change in the future once we see how the tool is used and can identify and resolve operational bottlenecks". Just a handy state that says "feel free to use this, but keep in mind that the interface will likely change for the better but in a non-backwards compatible way based on your experiences using it".

I'm pretty sick and tired of almost every project needing a version 2 because version 1 was essentially publicly released proof of concept that didn't know better.
It's such a common term around mobas that I doubt you haven't heard it before. Considering the popularity of the genre it's statistically unlikely that it hasn't come up.
Imagine a world where the military was used to protect the environment.

There are many, many slave vessels that dump huge amounts of plastic netting into the ocean (a double digit percentage of the pacific garbage patch is discarded fishing nets).

They can do this because it is in international waters, and the law doesn’t apply.

Spy satellites continuously produce proof that this is happening.

Why can’t we have the navy seize the damn boats as part of their training exercises?

I really, really miss newsgroups.

HN has some of the flavor of discussing technical stuff with experts and amateurs chiming in. But everything here is geared towards news, so the longer, deeper discussions are missing.

Perhaps I'm just getting old though.

I know what qualified immunity is, but your statement is easily provably false given that there are many instances where cops have been found guilty for assault, unlawful killing or excessive force.

I'm not arguing it's as easy as proving it for a civilian (after all, as part of their job cops are allowed to use force under particular circumstances), but these black-and-white statements like "They should but they won’t" just show to me how uninterested people are listening to anything that may change their opinion.
I would be skeptical of the results of that experiment, just because I assume the minders of the big LLMs have attempted to make it deeply uncomfortable with discussing anything that might be "personal." For a fun time, ask ChatGPT who was executed (as in capital punishment) in the US in a certain long-past year. It responds with a bunch of rubbish about privacy and about how an LLM can't be completely sure about stuff so it wouldn't be ok to speculate for fear of tarnishing someone's reputation, as though the person executed 15 years ago is going to sue OpenAI for sharing their name and what crime they were publicly convicted of and killed for.
You can easily Google this yourself. The first hit is:

But your second sentence is entirely the point. Practically if you’re used to C then you know exactly what the habitable human range is, and Fahrenheit is meaningless to you (I literally have no intuition for it - I know that 32 is zero C and and 100 is around 40 C, so I know what that feels like, but I can’t imagine at all what any Fahrenheit temperature between that feels like without googling the conversion).

So 0-100 being ‘human scale’ is nothing but perhaps a bit of a fun novelty, the only thing that is important is either having or building the familiarity and intuition (which is mostly just from experience of everyday use).
