I agree, but that is not the most compelling example to be honest. I think a better one is my nemesis:

int foo() {}

This is not an error or even a warning by default! Worse, even if you have enabled warnings, it can cause stack corruption and crazy insane behaviour in a different file. I've lost hours to this because I was working on code without `-Werror`, I didn't see the warning, and incremental compilation meant the offending file was never recompiled (I was trying to fix the error in a different file).

Of course modern languages don't have this insanity.

IMO the problem is Rust is very opinionated about how you structure your application, which might not actually match up with what the most logical structure for a particular case is. It depends.
Don't forget DragonflyBSD version of PF.

They look an old version of OpenBSD PF and updated it to be multithreaded.

I could be mistaken, but I believe both FreeBSD PF & OpenBSD PF are still single threaded.

Yet another thing I have just used FoundationDB for in the past.
Apple can just charge for the SDKs/XCode/etc. if they really care about their $100/yr/developer revenue stream for publishing on the App Store.
I guess better AR support could allow some new types of things eventually but that probably won’t take off until you can walk around with in in daily life without it being awkward and uncomfortable
Humans skip attribution in their conversations all the time when it's not the subject. Why machine should be held to some different standards, especially if we want them to sound and behave naturally?

"I saw on the web the other day" is not attribution, it's basically an interjection that makes the conversation smoother. Most of time it means absolutely nothing, except for maybe "it's not my direct experience" at best (and AFAIK LLMs today don't really have any agency, so this disclaimer is moot/noise).

Sure, "I've read an article on Acme Daily" happens, but personally I typically do this as a cue for the listener to cut me off with "ah, yes, I've read this too", saving us both time. Other use case is to give signal about authenticity of the information: not a credit, again - just an indirect indicator of trustworthiness or reliability (when I hear "The Onion reports" - it's surely not about the website, it's about the following being satire). YMMV, of course. I sure want an LLM to write this, but only when it matters to me personally (not the website authors, they aren't a party in our conversation). Just like a human would.

Similarly, I don't think anyone ever said "I've found this on coolrecipes.com" unironically if the conversation is about the recipe instead of a source. Obviously, attributing it to someone both parties know - like a relative, neighbor or a celebrity is a different story - roughly the same as with the news example above. But if you hear "found on coolrecipes.com" it it's most likely an ad. And what I want to say is here is that LLMs today are a breath of fresh air - compared to modern enshittified search engines - specifically because they're not ad- and SEO-ruined (yet). Let us please keep it this way for as long as possible.
> I would encourage you to read the facts [...]

I already have, thank you.

> They sold 180–190 °F coffee, with a lid, to a 79yo lady at a drive-through window.

I know. That "79yo lady" is an adult who is liable for her own actions. Coffee is hot, duh, I would expect someone of that age to know that. McDonald's isn't responsible for babysitting people who should know better than to squeeze hot beverages between their legs.

> the setting has 'horrific accident waiting to happen' written all over it

Not more than handing someone knife and fork. If you go out for dinner and you cut yourself in the finger, or you stab an eye out because you forgot how to use cutlery, is that also the restaurant's fault? Should they give everyone dull knifes and spoons only, just in case?
Remote work can slash your carbon footprint – if done right
I'm on the weird spectrum and have a similar experience with neighbors. I suppose the more of an outlier you are, the less likely it is to randomly land in a compatible community, and therefore the harder you need to work to make it happen. Of all the places I've lived, high density residential areas near high densities of colleges were the best at making this possible. The problem is, settling in such areas tends to be expensive (NYC/Boston/Bay Area/etc), so you look further out, and wherever you can afford tends to be majority townies/normies.
> these releases of model binaries

Are they binaries? I haven't seen a binary in awhile tbh. Usually they're releasing both the raw architecture (i.e. code) and the weights of the models (i.e. what numbers go into what parts of the architecture). The latter is in a readable format that you can generally edit by hand if you wanted to. But even if it was a binary as long as you have the architecture you can always load into the model and decide if you want to probe it (extract values) or modify it by tuning (many methods to do this).

As far as I'm concerned, realistically the only issue here is the standard issue around the open source definition. Does it mean the source is open as available or open as "do what the fuck you want"? I mean it's not like OpenAI is claiming that GPT is open sourced. It's just that Meta did and their source is definitely visible. Fwiw, they are the only major company to do so. Google doesn't open source: they, like OpenAI, use private datasets and private models. I'm more upset at __Open__AI and Google than I am about Meta. To me people are barking up the wrong tree here. (It also feels weird that Meta is the "good guy" here... relatively at least)

Edit: I downloaded their checkpoint. It is the standard "pth" file. This is perfectly readable, it is just a pickle file. I like to use graftr to view checkpoints, but other tools exist (https://github.com/lmnt-com/graftr)
And this is weird to me. As a software engineer, who works with text all the time, I was buying IPS panels with as high resolution as I was able to justify for my entire career.

I don't see myself coding it quest, it is just too blurry.

Although this could be me and my personal preferences, as I also cannot program on something like macbook air 13", and there are people who can easily do it.

I used dual 2k 27" more than 10 years ago, now the main screen that I look at is 4k 32" and there are 2 2k 27" side by side. If linux didn't suck with mixed dpis and there were 240Hz IPS 27" (I use one of them for gaming), I'd already start considering 4k 27".

---

Having said all of that, I certainly believe that there will be time when the FOV and resolution will be enough to replace monitors.

Like now, I have 3 monitors because I don't want to dance with workspaces etc. I still can focus only on one at one time.

Intelligent zoom and activation of windows/workspaces, improved to one that Apple shown in visionpro presentation, will be killer feature, as I objectively will be able to have multiple 4k screens without any table space used by monitors.
>Instead, people hope to find someone to sue - for example, suing mcdonalds for hot coffee.

Considerably more to the story than that.
Poor example with no valid example.
Yea I think that's the answer. The queues are deeply integrated into a datastore so you have a trace of what happened and you can do it all atomically.
I'm having very complicated feelings about this.
They have discussed working on it for years. The problem is that very few people are close enough to a data center with rock solid internet and Wi-Fi to be able to hit the very narrow latency constraints.

Current interest rates are moderate, and hopefully are the new normal if our society is to have any future. The past two decades have been extremely low rates. High is like 10-15%.

I was a car mechanic for 2 years, have re-built several engines, and I love my model 3 and fully believe it's one of the best possible cars for the average consumer. I also love my Civic SI, but my wife feels safer in the Telsa. She couldn't tell you the first thing Musk has been up to in the last 10 years. It's not one of the best selling cars in the country due to celebrity worship.

"Everyone else is stupid and I'm smart" is not exactly the rock-solid argument you might think it is.

It will never stop being surprising to me to see, on HackerNews, such baseless vitriol.
Net neutrality: What it is and why we're talking about it again
Yes, I knew I would need to live with some annoyances if I wanted to be an early adopter on this. I tried to adapt but in the end it was just too much of an inconvenience. And while my quest 2 is indeed currently collecting dust, I don't think headsets are a bad idea. Just that their current implementations are not good enough for my use case. Regardless of that, I'm optimistic about the future of using an HMD as your main general computing device's display. I'm willing to bet it will be a pretty common setup in 5 years or so.
Yeah. For all the hate density gets, living in e.g. Manhattan has made it really easy for me to find like minded friends. I live within like 10 minutes of millions of people so it would be weird if I couldn't connect with people locally. You just have to consciously try to speak to the same people, it's easy to float around and never see the same person twice.
Good point -- I do wonder if it's inherent or if we really are missing some "much better software?"

A thing that makes me think the latter might be the is how there's no real Google Earth for the Quest, which strikes me as madness?

(also, Aircar and having to jump through hoops to find Tiltbrush/Openbrush?)
So first you say that life having a meaning is some invented idea. So you admit the words are pointing at some idea. Meaning has a very common definition in this context: value or importance.

I dont see why a fact from history: life evolved from non-living precursors, implies "there is no subjective value to any life because it evolved" which seems to simply be the inverse of the argument, "humans are special because they are made in God's image" (humans not special because not made in Gods image)

We know what "meaning" points at. The idea that there is more than one way to live and some ways are better than others. Better is obviously a collective value judgement. Just like any judgement of beauty.

A meaningful life is one that you would happy to have lived, a thing you wouldn't trade away, something you would be proud of.

It's not reasonable to make an appeal to materialism and say, "these feelings are hollow vibrations of atoms" thats a category error.
Yeah I understand that, I was just amused at the extent to which the guy was convincingly impersonating a half-bright chatbot

Long before that. I heard that advice as a child in the 70's. Had the impression is was what my parents learned in the 40's.
> This feels very “PC” to me. By which I mean they’re selling it because they can sell new hardware. The Pentium 9 is out! Which is fine.

I mean, the same is happening for smartphones and tablets. Yes, it won’t dramatically grow the market.
Thanks. I'll have to brush up on the details of this report, it's been a while.

I read recently that in total, the US has spent about $50 billion dollars on fusion energy generation research over the years. Regardless of the chart's usefulness, that puts us in the "fusion never" realm of the chart.
In the Netherlands you can bike between suburbs and rural areas. In the US that is hard, not only because of the distances, but also because there are no safe roads for bicycles in rural areas. It's highway shoulder or nothing, basically.

Can you please fact check that statement? No source or quote was provided and I see no mention in the regulation.

Here is the regulation they are talking about: https://unece.org/sites/default/files/2022-05/ECE-TRANS-WP.2...

On page 17, Section 5.4 they discuss: "Transition demand and system operation during transition phase".

In Section 5.4.3: "During the transition phase the system shall continue to operate."

In Section 5.4.3.2: "During the transition phase, the transition demand shall be escalated latest after 4 s after the start of the transition demand."

In Section 5.4.4: "A transition demand shall only be terminated once the system is deactivated or a minimum risk manoeuvre has started."

In Section 5.4.4.1: "In case the driver is not responding to a transition demand by deactivating the system (either as described in paragraph 6.2.4., or 6.2.5.), a minimum risk manoeuvre shall be started, earliest 10 s after the start of the transition demand."

In Section 5.5: "Minimum Risk Manoeuvre"

In Section 5.5.1: "The minimum risk manoeuvre shall bring the vehicle to a standstill unless the system is deactivated by the driver during the manoeuvre."

In Section 5.5.3: "A minimum risk manoeuvre shall only be terminated once the system is deactivated or the system has brought the vehicle to a standstill."

In Section 6.2.4: "It shall be possible to manually deactivate..."

In Section 6.2.5: "In addition to paragraph 6.2.4, the system shall not be deactivated by any driver input other than those described below..."

In Section 6.2.5.1.: "Deactivation by input to driving controls..."

In Section 6.2.5.2: "Deactivation during an ongoing transition demand or an ongoing minimum risk manoeuvre. In case a transition demand or minimum risk manoeuvre is on-going, the system shall only be deactivated: (a) As defined in paragraph 6.2.5.1. or (b) Upon detection that the driver has taken hold of the steering control as a response to the transition demand or minimum risk manoeuvre and provided the system confirms the driver is attentive as defined in paragraph 6.3.1.1."

So, the car remains in control during hand-off until a driver actively takes back control. The hand-off process must last a minimum of 10 seconds where the car is expected to operate as normal. In the event that the driver does not take control, the car is required to automatically come to a stop without relinquishing control. At no point can the car automatically transfer control to the driver except after fully executing a minimum risk manoeuvre and coming to a halt, or if a emergency manoeuvre is required (at which point the emergency manoeuvre system is in control).

As someone not deeply into the BSDs and who has never tried pf, I would love to see this claim illustrated with a few examples.

CPS is a human organization. There are no algorithms and the guidelines rarely perfectly fit the situation a case worker is given. Keep this in mind. CPS is horrifically under funded meaning that intelligent and competent staff readily leave the field for better paying gigs.

The biggest problem I see with foster care at large is the rampant classism, sexism, racism, and other isms. The providers tend to be solidly middle class degree bearing people who have no personal connection to primary instigating factors of foster care involvement. Namely and typically presenting cross generationally: poverty, crimes of despair or desperation, and trauma whether that be internal or external to the family unit or community such as neighborhood violence, caregiver assault, or tragic loss.

It easy for providers to casually profile incoming children and their families as poor uneducated violent predacious drug dealing junkies. Providers are given extreme control over the entire family and their extended relations and use this power to coerce whatever behavior they desire out of the people. If the provider dislikes the family they have a lot of tools to inflict suffering on them and oppositely they have a lot of tools to assist families and keep them together.

Honestly, the entire system is such a god damn mess that it should be rebuilt with the same level of distrust of staff that they can exercise against families.

Perhaps the most pressing single metric to focus may be the foster to prison pipeline.

Sorry for the meandering post, bookcases could be filled with anecdotes and descriptions of the flaws in these systems. In general, I think the failure of child protection agencies reflects the decay in America at large. I could point to stuff like broken family units or loss of religions community but I’m not dog whistling here. Stable healthy nurturing familial units of any relation are obviously better but man in the house rules and other racist/classist measures caused more harm. I’m also vehemently opposed to all major organized religions that are regularly used to justify war and protect child sex predators. Perhaps the collapse of American industry and slow erosion of social safety nets has hastened the social collapse. Perhaps the internet had instigated the collapse of communal organizations. Perhaps winner take all government enforced monopoly capitalism is the cause. Perhaps it was the theft of 50,000,000,000.00 from the bottom 99 by the 1% that lead to this. Regardless, the solution is not going to be found in rebuilding foster care when our social fabric is rotten.

The actual thread shows the maintainer implementing the fix in a way he found better and prepping to do the backports for other stable kernels. The actual response was "Thanks for your patch, but I wanted to fix it differently" and gives him credit for reporting.

The suggestion that the maintainer "pulled" something here is quite something. Is there any evidence that the author ever tried to ask for more credit aside from carping about it on their blog in public?

If there was evidence that they'd gone to the maintainer and said "um, hey, I feel like I should get more credit than that" I might feel more sympathetic. As it is, they misrepresented the words of the maintainer and played the victim. If there's evidence they have tried to correct this on list then I might feel differently.
If the plug was superior, why wouldn't Apple use it on all their devices? Apple could have also opened the plug up for everybody if they really felt it was superior. Wasn't it Volkswagen that allowed all manufacturers to use the 3 point seat belt because of how safe it was? Volkswagen did something for the common good of humanity. Why couldn't Apple do the same if the plug was so insanely good as you say?

You have to look at the history of sources and their bias to understand the history of ideas. Historical sources don't necessarily contain facts; and they may also convey more than facts.

It's about getting to the spin behind the original sources, then you have a better idea of why the sources tell you what they're telling you. How you read them brings in your own bias (for someone else to examine and weigh up one day). It can be really powerful though, like in the example of Messalina.
I agree in general (also things have tendency to escalate to unnecessary drama through re-posts and comments on the social networks) but:
