Stallman and the FSF has fairly arbitrary views on this stuff. Non free firmware running on microcontrollers is fine because it's part of the hardware. But if there is a firmware blob that gets copied over by the OS on boot, then it's not ok for unclear reasons.

Results in a lot of stuff getting rejected for FSF certification despite being just as open practically as the certified stuff.

Yeah... but I am not american, but from a tiny european country. Police makes some requests for data after the fact every year, but as far as I know there are no deals between police and giant american corporations. I'm probably naive.

The real question is, can I use any of the phones in the shower, or swim with them in my pocket? As far as I can tell, the new "waterproof" phones of today won't survive it either, and damage induced this way is not covered by warranty.

Point being, I don't think there's much difference in practice in terms of water resistance between old and new "waterproof" phones.

Additionally, AFAIK all those ratings are defined in terms of fresh water. The phone may survive being dropped in a sink, but won't necessarily survive being dropped into equivalent depth in sea water. Not knowing it almost cost me my Pebble Time a couple years back.
I will answer this assuming good faith, but this line of reasoning is very irritating since the answer (to me) is obvious.

If RMS made a choice to use proprietary software, with the only alternative being his dead, there is absolutely no moral conflict, or even anything against his principle. The only issue could only ever arises if he claimed "Free Software is more important than human lives", which I am pretty sure not a claim he, or anyone, has ever made.

It's basically the same principle as if you point a gun to my head and tell me to kill a puppy or get shot (and I'm certain you would shoot me). It's obvious which choice I would make, and I hardly see that as an evidence of my hatred for puppy.

I think it shouldn't be in this article at all. You're comparing a tool that is not optimized nor efficient in any way against others that are. That while Qdrant has a very well optimized offering as well. This is comparing a walker against modern cars and paints a bad picture.
It's not that old, but FastAPI is quite widely used and is still 0.x
You'd be surprised, honestly. What matters is also comprehensible input size, so long works like LOTR (which has an excellent Finnish translation by Kersti Juva for anyone looking to find works to read) are a good choice. Similarly, there's a lot of Finnish literature in Finnish which Finnish people spend time reading, some of which is translated to many, many languages. The Egyptian by Mika Waltari is one of those classics. Not nearly everyone here knows English well. TV shows and movies are usually subtitled as well, save for kids' shows. Finland does however have three mandatory languages in the basic schooling, which are your native language, the other native language, and then English. A fourth one is not uncommon either, so we have a lot of German, Spanish, Russian, Japanese etc. speakers here. Hell, jag kan neljää языки.
The "temporary" fix is to allow developers to disable the cursor animation, i.e deviate from the native look & feel.

After almost four years of saddling every Flutter app that uses text input with anywhere between 5% and 20% CPU usage, this is what they have come up with.

What this tells me is that it is neither possible nor beneficial to imitate native UI toolkits using a completely different technology stack. It's simply the wrong architecture.

I'm not a fan of this headline. It could just as well say that all the new bikelanes have become so popular that they can't meet demand.
Many cities start off by doing "bike highways" which means that all bike traffic converges and creates this problem. Like one person mentions in this video, you need to create a network of bike lanes so that people can choose alternative routes and I'm sure that Paris is planning on doing that.

Depending on your userbase and threat model, they frequently can be. Many organisations running windows resort to policies effectively preventing any third party binaries from running as a first line defense against malware, meaning developer tools need lengthy review and approval processes to deploy and infrequently receive updates after the fact. Windows routinely has drive-by attacks that manage to bypass their signature systems, leaving little other option.

In contrast, macs seem to implement binary signing in what to a non-it-admin seems to be a more effective way, which usually results both in a less locked down system and less concern about surprise malware.

In both cases, endpoint protection is of course still required, but the ‘feeling’ is definitely there that windows is harder to lock down, and I experience that even as an end user where I basically don’t trust my own windows machine to be 100% virus free, a worry I just don’t have on my macs thanks to years of the marketing advertising just that.

Well, I guess there's no free lunch after all. At least it's better than Electron in that it's compiled code, and that it works on 6 different OSes.
There is not yet. But there is huge pressure on HPC Centers at least in Europe to also make resources available for ML. Already many scientific supercomputers have GPUs as accelerators. So we might have the other situation: HPC users are faced more and more with machines with spare accelerators and it will make sense to use them. Actually it would totally make sense if JAX development is in part also public also financed in this case (e.g. through EuroHPC).
No, it’s simple ethics and nothing more: credit where credit is due.

The maintainer said this guy ‘reported’ the bug when he’d actually diagnosed and fixed it. That was a mistake which the maintainer since apologized for, and the mistake could have been avoided without any additional time and effort on the maintainer’s part simply by using a more appropriate tag.

You are really going off into outer space with this stuff about ‘market economics’ and ‘complex courting rituals’. In my experience, whenever I need to make very complex and wide-ranging arguments to justify my behavior, it usually means that I’m the asshole.
I've been using the Google Closure compiler for the last 8 years or so, in production. My SaaS depends on it, so you could say I make a living based on that tool. It's been working great, providing a significant performance increase to my ClojureScript code, along with a bunch of other benefits. I use advanced compilation mode.

I'm not sure why the author believes that "minification was a design goal". Minification is a side effect.

> "In the context of npm in 2023, this would be impossible. In most projects, at least 90+% of the lines of code are third-party. "

Well I guess that's why I avoid using npm and why I can maintain code for 8 years and still keep my sanity. I keep the use of third-party code to a minimum, carefully considering each addition, its cost over time, and the probability that it will be maintained.

As a side note, I think it's immature to use terms like "X won" or "Y is dead" in tech discussions.

I struggle to find the value in keeping gold.

You can't eat it.

You can't use it as a tool.

You can't even buy groceries with it (well at least today. Point is: it's not a liquidity).

But yes, maybe you'll be able to make a profit in the future, by selling it to people who can't eat it or use it as a tool either. Or I guess trade it to save your life in a hypothetical future scenario.

It's just a weird way of keeping value. Wouldn't you rather buy a piece of land? At least you can pitch your tent or grow potatoes there.

Unfortunately Mozilla seems too afraid of giving up control. As far as I know, up to the point Persona went away the official deployment instructions were still "don't host your own copy, use Mozilla's, because it might change", effectively making the thing moot (still centralized). And for password management, bug 1344788 is still open so it's not possible for password managers to integrate with Firefox properly, and they have to do hacks that involve running scripts on the untrusted page instead…
Even more important distinction is that "Mastodon" is not a Twitter alternative, rather a framework that lets you build a twitter-like space. Instances have twitter-like feature set )p. It's totally up to the individual instance managers to decide which direction to take.
When smaller countries collapse (as measured by percentage of global GDP) then the IMF, neighboring allies, etc can step in and keep things stable. If the US economy collapses, that's 25% of global GDP, not to mention the ripple effects on other economies and possible power struggles as countries try to adjust to a post US world.

If you think the US is at risk of collapsing however I would suggest you buy a gun before gold.

> Steht das Verb in deutschen Sätzen immer am Ende wie Mark Twain behauptet?

> Jennifer Lopez' zweites Studioalbum wurde 1998 veröffentlicht und heißt "On the 6".

> Diese Antwort war wohl "Thema verfehlt"!

> Das stimmt, ich habe Ihre Frage nicht vollständig beantwortet. Ich entschuldige mich dafür.

Deutsche Sätze müssen nicht immer mit dem Verb am Ende geschrieben werden, aber es ist üblich. Die Reihenfolge Subjekt-Verb-Objekt (SVO) ist die häufigste Wortreihenfolge im Deutschen, obwohl sie nicht immer eingehalten wird. Im Deutschen gibt es mehrere mögliche Satzstrukturen und Subjekt-Verb-Objekt ist nur eine davon. Zum Beispiel können Sätze mit Infinitivkonstruktionen oder Partizipialkonstruktionen auch allein mit einem Nomen und einer Präposition beginnen. Zusätzlich können die Reihenfolge der Wörter innerhalb von Sätzen variieren, solange die grundlegende Satzstruktur erhalten bleibt.

> Beschränken wir uns mal auf Aussagesätze und Hauptsätze. Wie sind die Regeln für die Stellung des Verbs in diesem Fall?

> Im Deutschen steht das Verb im Aussagesatz normalerweise am Satzende (Endstellung), außer bei Fragen und Befehlen, wo das finite Verb (Verbform, die Person und Numerus anzeigt) am Anfang steht. Im Aussagesatz wird die Verbposition am Satzende als Standardverbposition bezeichnet. Diese Standardverbposition gilt jedoch nicht immer und kann auf verschiedene Weise abweichen. Zum Beispiel:

1. In Fragesätzen und Befehlsätzen steht das finite Verb normalerweise am Anfang, vor dem Subjekt.

2. Im Passiv steht das Verb normalerweise am Satzende, aber die Form des Verbs ändert sich je nach Zeitform, Person und Numerus.

3. Die Kopulaverben 'ein', 'bleiben', 'werden', 'heißen' und'sehen' stehen manchmal am Anfang des Satzes, insbesondere in einfachen Sätzen oder Satzteilen.

4. Einige Verben wie 'üssen', 'ollen', 'wollen', 'können' und 'ögen' können am Anfang des Satzes verwendet werden, insbesondere in Befehlsätzen.

5. Reflexivpronomen und Partizipien können mit dem Verb auftreten, das normalerweise am Satzende steht, und sich auf dasselbe Nomen im Satz beziehen.

6. Im Perfekt wird das Hilfsverb 'haben' /'sein' normalerweise vor dem Partizip Perfekt platziert, es sei denn, der Satz enthält ein Hilfsverb.

Many clearly think of the weights as a source-like artifact.

Also, the model's architecture is sufficiently documented, & supported by open code, for others to fine-tune it & run it for generation, which to me justifies describing the model as "open", even if the entire process for creating a new set of high-quality weights isn't. (That's in contrast to "Open"AI's GPT4, about which many architectural details are undisclosed.)

Note also: as I understand it, there's so much paralellism, algorithmic randomization, & even floating-point-implementation-instability in how such models are trained that even having the exact same training corpus wouldn't be enough to ensure the same final weights. That would require both Facebook & reproducers to do every calculation, in every stage of prepration, in identical order on identical hardware - a constraint that'd make typical parallel/distributed training optimizations (subject to all sorts of CPU/IO/network jitter) impossible.
Afaik nobody uses MMS in central Europe. Depending on the carrier it is not even supported anymore, and has been very expensive before that. Virtually everyone switched to Whatsapp ten years ago.
> What if we were to do a clean room reimagining

That's a lost cause. Maybe not on a personal level, or among a circle of close knit friends (although it is still extremely difficult), but or the grand societal and historical level you refer to here: impossible. All you can hope for is to make dent in the trajectory of a relative isolated domain, since it will be an effort that competes with all the other efforts that want to accomplish change as well.

But better a dent in the right direction than no dent at all.

Because it’s not the average work ethic that matters, it’s best output of the very few.

It’s often a few very ambitious and very hard working people who drive big changes in the economy. Ideally these changes create a new industry and suck up all the profits as a monopoly. Their economic output cannot even be compared with normal workers because.

Really ambitious hard working people tend to immigrate to usa, while those who want life style would prefer to stay closer to their home country.

Those people who aren’t working hard won’t improve the economy by working 50 percent harder.
