> Its similar to how high verbal IQ people can easily master multiple languages, but normal people are only good at their main language.

Normal people can be good at multiple languages; people living in large nations whose own language also effectively the global libgua franca often don’t because there is little marginal benefit for them to do so, bot because of verbal IQ. People of similar “verbal IQ” but living in an area where a few hours drive can put them in places with three or four different prinary languages will often be functional in several languages.
> "It took me a while to realize it, but Jax is actually a huge opportunity for a lot of scientific computing."

In all conferences like NeurIPS, in Google ML Community days, etc., whenever there is a JAX workshop/tutorial/talk, it is always touted as a numerical computation library. And it was developed as such. Sure the focus is in ML, but everyone involved in it always have said that this is a general purpose scientific computing library.

Flax, Haiku, etc. are Deep Learning libraries.
It’s not an app, per se, but a concept of setting your WiFi card into monitor mode and listening to the radio traffic. Kismet is one of the suites that does that.
I use a a chrome extension for it. Otherwise when I hit their wall on another device or browser, I just skip it. Reddit seems fine with killing themselves off, I'm not going to any great length to mitigate their mistakes.
I think you have this a bit backwards.

To my knowledge the FSF doesn't consider firmware blobs with no way to flash "part of certification" because it would be inoractical to do so. By definition "software you can't change" isn't "free"(as in speech, not beer), so I don't think it's an ideological line.

So they either have to consider any device with unmodifiable software to be non-free(basically removing entire device classes), or be realistic and draw the line somewhere. "Can you modify the software on the device from the rest of the gnu software" is a line that matches up with their ideals fairly well IMO.

Basically, Richard Stallman is well aware that cars are bundles of non-free software(see: https://jalopnik.com/richard-stallman-weighs-in-on-the-check...). He has voiced opinions that software controlling the brakes in your car should be FSF and not binary blobs that come pre-installed with no visibility.

"A Delaware company" ... funny :-)

Also scary how disciplined US society is, with everyone informally-required to actively cheer the proxy war (while no company "stands with Yemen" for example).
I would recommend a refresher on your political economy knowledge.

In fascism, the government worked very closely with corporations, but it was somewhat a two way street (corporations getting juicy contracts because they're friendly with the right people, owners financing the politicians, etc.). In socialism "corporations" are owned by the state/worker's councils/etc. (which is why there are "government employees" there - technically everyone works for the government). But there are no corporation owners working in their interest getting handouts and/or pushing for specific actions and policies in socialism.

I'm not denying that civilizations use different moral codes. I am trying to say that we must have appeal to a universal moral code in order to judge whether a culture's moral code are in fact moral or not. This would apply to our own moral code as well as for those of other civilizations.

I am saying that if we are too say the Ancient Mesopotamians was wrong for sacrificing their children, we have to appeal to some kind of universal standard outside of them to do that. This logic also applies to the Aztec human sacrifice, and to the way the Nazi's treated the Jews. We need a universal standard to say they were wrong.

To make this more actual: You are advocating for a technocratic liberal moral code. Many people are advocating for a historic Christian moral code. How would you even start debating the Christians without appealing to a universal morality? You'll have to assert that your moral code is universal. If you don't, you have no basis to require other people to behave according to your morality.
Uncontrolled immigration can be a problem, since there is no integration that could handle the amount.
I think (not sure though) that the Berne Convention requires Australian law to treat foreign books in the same way as Australian books so the reference to "Australian books" is a rhetorical flourish, not legally relevant.
Way back in the day a lot of authenticated wifi firewalls did enable DNS requests to pass through, or at least to resolve using their DNS server, without being authenticated.

Someone smart created a TCP-over-DNS tunneling tool that I had a lot of great experience with, at least for more simple news websites of the day.

It's not actually that stable of an investment vehicle, sure price have generally been going up over the past ten years, but if you bought gold in around 2012, you would have lost money if you where not able to hold on to it for another eight to ten years.

Personally I think the prices might be to high and a drop is coming. To keep the market moving someone is now trying to create a new market segment and is attempting to pull in new customers, apparently via Costco. This is either to prevent a slump in sales or to offload gold holdings before the price starts dropping.
Yes, empirically I've noticed that if you do not exchange that sequence length gain for huge batch sizes up front, however, your performance will go down overall....
I think you were broadly misunderstood. If the defined constants come from or are checked against the ones stored in the database, fair play. If they're floating around in some static consts in a code file, also ok as long as that's extremely well documented and someone knows what's what. If some boss pays to cut corners for it to be written with magical constants like "WHERE life.meaning!=42" and then fires the person who they hired to write that script, they deserve whatever they get.

Just like the meaning of life, it's best not to come to premature conclusions. Could all work out, or it could be a funny joke for aliens in the end.

> Maybe at the cost of latency because it has to switch channels back and forth?

Not necessarily. It can be a client on 2.4Ghz and an access point on 5Ghz. Even without that, if it has MIMO, then one of the antennas can be receiving 2.4Ghz while the other is sending (at least in theory, if the crosstalk between the antennas is low and the selectivity of the receiver is sufficient).
Swift async/await is such a foot gun that induces deadlock over deadlock, and whats even worse, deadlocks the entire app so you cannot report and notice this deadlock state in the app itself, which makes you blind. I almost never had this problem with dispatch, you could fairly reliably guarantee and reason about some backup queues being able to detect these states and report the deadlock state.

IMO I would recommend not interacting with async/await as much as possible and stick to dispatch queues you can reason about far more easily.
Right, that's exactly why aluminum had such a wild swing in value.

Gold is not hard to extract, so that won't happen with it. Instead it's hard to get in any form, so people can dig out more but the cost of extraction keeps increasing.
> Should the recency of Maori arrival in NZ make white NZers (and Englishmen such as myself) feel less guilty about colonisation?

No, the length of time doesn't matter. The guilt is appropriate due to the violence and inhumanity in the way the displacement was carried out (even if that was the norm at the time), and the continued oppression and erasure that occured.
Can someone please clarify: even the software version is winding down? If so, can they simply make all the whiteboards read-only via bitmaps/SVGs instead of migrating them elsewhere?

I still use my iPad 4 every day.

The YouTube iOS app stopped working a while ago, I suppose the backend API changed.

But YouTube still works via Safari on the iPad 4.

I generally keep JavaScript turned off in Safari on that old tablet; I think it's a RAM limitation but it could simply be that the JavaScript version is too old. Many sites just don't work. But with JavaScript enabled, YouTube still does fine.
> why people become so paranoid about the value of the dollar when it’s proven to be so incredibly stable

Every fiat currency that ever existed collapsed at some point.

> Gold is not money. It’s never going to be money again. So why care?

Gold survived all of them. It’s still being used as a financial instrument, after thousands of years, countless wars, changes of government, complete societal collapse and reorganization…

Gold is definitely a safer long-term bet.
> I happily run entirely free software on my computers

You do? No graphics card? No (good) games? No firmware? And if so, how much of a premium did you pay for the lack of scale from your hardware vendor alone?
I also thought the dichotomous format was a significant weakness of the test and would impact on reliability. However to get 16/16 correct it would likely be down to more than just chance. The more items, the more reliable the test becomes. I noticed that the article stated if you scored 15 or 16/16 you may be a super-matcher. Or, like you say you may just be super lucky to have guessed them all right.

There is a formula for correcting for guessing:
Corrected score = R - W/(n-1)

R = right responses
W = wrong responses
n = number of choices for each item.
Thanks, sounds like your initial approach would be easier, a blocking API is fine for me. I'll look into it a little further.
Do people in the USA do a Google search for Visa or Mastercard when they want to pay for something? Of course not, they just use their credit card.

It’s the same with dollars in places where it’s an actively used alternative to devaluating national currencies. You don’t search for “dollar” online, you just buy and sell in the street and use it to pay for things directly.

Good to see that myth busted.

I have a couple Samsung Galaxy A8 (2022) tablets set up as control panels around my apartment for Home Assistant. They cost a little more than $100 on eBay in very good condition. I don't think LineageOS supports this particular model, though, but I didn't bother since all it does is display a webpage.

One of the things I like about Samsung tablets is that they have a "Battery saver" feature where you can restrict it from charging the battery past 85%, which is a generally good move if your tablet is going to be permanently plugged into power and used as some sort of fixed display.

I've had MANY brand name devices with lithium batteries bulge when left constantly plugged in at 100% battery for months and don't want to risk an explosion.
i live in Paris (born there) and travel almost exclusively by bike, sometimes 15km to cross the entire town. i can testify that this headline is utterly exaggerated: the situation is really fine here. yeah there are many cyclists but we're doing good.
> 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.

Valuing freedom (even in limited spheres) more than human lives is a pretty familiar American idea. For example, recall Patrick Henry's "give me liberty or give me death" and consider that he was talking about the prospect of being taxed without his consent, not enslavement. Also, recall Private Eightball from Full Metal Jacket:

"Personally, I think, uh... they don't really want to be involved in this war. You know, I mean... they sort of took away our freedom and gave it to the, to the gookers, you know. But they don't want it. They'd rather be alive than free, I guess. Poor dumb bastards."
I don't understand this post.

Social network are one of the largest problem of the internet right now.
A reputable host for the decentralized web is really good and cheap.
Seems trivially easy to solve since all the users are already carrying tracking devices with GPS.
There are still printed documents, and I guess they'll use an office raid as a way to gain access to employee's emails.
The FSF is a tiny organization with little funding; you can't lay the responsibility for "reaching out" on them. It's a question of what other cultural, educational and commercial organizations and groups have been doing; whether enough of them have taken these messages to heart; and what they have been promoting.

Also, in suggesting they use Youtube or Twitter, you're simply exemplifying how you reject their principles. Those platforms are the opposite of free: Closed source, secret manipulation of content, censorship (and never mind the motivation), spying on users for the government, etc. The FSF would be hypocritical to endorse them. But of course, it does have "social network" videos - on PeerTube and MediaGoblin:

https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/fsf35-videos-online-find...

so ask yourself, why have we not been promoting those platforms, and why have everyone seemingly yielded to ever-widening control of our digital lives by these large corporations?
I'm definitely learning some things today. Geerling's video[1] low-key sells the merits of the Rock 5B, which performs even better, though it's more expensive.

Geerling reviews that device here[2] and compares it to the RPi 4 back in February.

I was excited about the Pi 5 yesterday. And now more information has just left me uncertain. I think I need even more information.

Apparently there will be an M.2 NVMe hat in early 2024[3] so I guess that has to be factored into the price calculations for an RPi5.

Although I never find myself agreeing fully with them, ideological absolutists who refuse compromise are actually useful as some kind of anchors to the Overton window. They are not the ones ending up negotiating the actual realistic solutions but their activism helps shifting the equilibrium.

If your side of the argument is all compromise-makers trying to meet people halfway you often end up giving up more than you’re comfortable with. Both types of people play a useful part.
For routes where the bike area is first come first serve, how common is it for them to run out of space?
We are in dire need of succession. Can memories of his reasoning alone withstand the erosion of time in the mindshare of public discussion? I know FSF will codify stuffs and preserve things that are ideologically important. But without someone as strong-headed as him we will have a hard time defending freedom of software.

Yep, yep. Got that too.

The funny part starts when you realise how little maintenance life needs, compared to the available time in a day. If you’re not there yet, prioritise getting there.

Next step is to let yourself try out increasing numbers of new things. It's not only about trying out new things, it's about increasing the speed at which you try new things. That helps with learning how to learn faster.

New experiences, foods, meeting new people, listening to new music, learning to play/sing new music, smelling new stuff, staying awake at different times of day, walking with different speeds, etc.

I basically use my easily distractable mind to experience and learn from most of my lived seconds.

I used to have many forgettable days and now less so. I make use of all easily available tools/systems that modern technology created for us.

One of the default options is to try medication ([1]). That's ok, but try to delay it until you're ready to understand the effects it has on your mind. I would recommend experiencing with different doses of sugar, cocoa, coffee, alcohol, canabioids, etc. I get a feeling that one needs acquire a taste for paying attention to one's mind. It's a learned ability/skill.

I tried concerta and I liked it (one of my friends has diagnosed adhd and I had access to a safe environment for it). Unfortunately it's quite tedious to get it diagnosed. Way too many delays and people to interact to. Fortunately I found good alternatives in the meantime.

Let me know if I can help with more :D
There's no shortage of projects for this, particularly enby, jellyfin, and kodi spring to mind. The only real challenges are GPU transcoding support, app selection for integration of services like Spotify, amazon prime streaming, and netflix, and app availability on client devices like TVs.

In terms of specs a Pi4 was already beefy enough for this use case, fwiw. But the software stack is hard just because no one seems to target the "set top box“ space quite the same way. There are client/server media platforms to compete with plex, there are single.box media platforms, there are set top boxes to compete with roku, and every possible mix in between.
It is always good to remind yourself that the worlds largest spy company, Google, uses Free software to run much of it.

Does he really turn against SaaS/Cloud? Software that doesn't run on your computer doesn't necessarily need to be in your control, right? As long as the clients are free.
> For me that’s a great example. I personally know many old (even obsolete iPads) lying here and there collecting dust, as their software (and hardware) vendor decided they are all in for nature and ecology (sarcasm), so let millions of perfectly capable devices would be thrown away as a trash.

This really infuriates me because we (iOS developers) were all forced to see how it was happening. If you want to stay in the game, you have to develop for the newest devices, In order to do so, you need to upgrade your Xcode. In order to do so, you have to periodically upgrade your mac. And this is more or less fine. But at the same time newer xcode drops support for older yet perfectly functioning devices.

What can you do? Keep older macs with older xcode versions and at least be able to develop solutions for your own devices. But this is not a solution, it doesn't solve anything really, and it wouldn't help much in your kitchen example.

> Aluminum is 3rd most abundant element in earth crust. Gold is 75th most abundant. I don't think so.

There is no truth coming from "feel". Our brain chemicals are designed in a way that suits evolution best, not to mention that there is absolutely no consistence in these feelings on an individual level (to a smaller degree) and on the the temporal and cultural level.

What you are saying assumes that brain chemical reactions have an ability to hint at some sort of truth. The idea itself sounds closer in nature to religious arguments. And I think if this was indicating a truth of some sorts, the differences morals doesnt sell this idea to me personally.
People do have an interest in Bitcoin as it's the only way to do transfers abroad that really works. But typically they just hoard dollars. Bitcoin also fluctuated way more than dollars in the last few years, people that buy dollars are typically middle and higher class people that want to save money for their house, going on vacation and that kind of stuff. Risk avoiding people.

There are a variety of dollars, the one most people talk about is the "blue" (meaning black market). It trades for twice the official rate, but since you can also sell it at around that price it doesn't impact you that much when you're saving in it. It does hurt when you want to spend that money when for example traveling abroad.
