I use both, for different use cases. The flexibility of BTRFS is hard to beat, I've yet to have a single data loss issue (5ish years, multiple machines), and for low resource systems (like an RPi3) it's a great choice.

I have to say as a Linux user I find the ZFS tooling surprisingly difficult, and I've had far more issues with Linux on ZFS root than BTRFS. YMMV. On my one BSD machine I currently have a usb-attached zpool that seems completely frozen in spite of reboots for over a week -- all zpool and zfs commands hang indefinitely with no output (even though the machine is otherwise working fine). No idea what to make of that, was working fine for 3+ years previously.

That said, people far more knowledgeable than me far prefer ZFS, so I keep my really important long-term storage and backups on a RAIDZ2 array.
But Twitter and Reddit doesn't need them, so why would I? Sarcasm, of course. Third party devs are just as responsible for the aforementioned website's success as the first party devs
so. many. times.
Perhaps the part where "having backups which are unreliable/unrestorable" is _more_ dangerous than "being known to have no backups", because the former provides a false sense of security?
The grades mean something in comparison to the population of college grades as a whole.

If a class of 30 physics students all get an A, the value is in comparing their A to a B from another year or university.
I'm not sure anyone alive now will still be alive when this magical feat happens.

After all, people were saying that robots would talk like humans and be indistinguishable from sentient life before you or I were ever born.

Decades later, even with CPUs with more than 1,000,000,000,000x the processing power it's still news when a company releases a robot that can walk in a straight line without falling over, which is something that human babies can do before they're able to figure out how to control their own bowel functions.
A personal right to privacy and limitations on government actions/inquisitions are different.

For instance, if someone wants to start filming me and following me in public then there's nothing I can do unless they city or state maintains some kind of statute against it (and some do.) A government privacy law would not defend you against that. Even uploading my likeness to YouTube and showing that video to thousands or millions of people is legal. A personal right to privacy would require releases for that kind of content to be made standard. Our current laws hinge heavily on anything in public being public domain which is simultaneously good and problematic.
> In a way, it's better, because it will distract the crowd of people into this sort of stuff from activities that harm real people.

I see that assertion a lot. If that's how that works, why does the very large amount of CSAM already in existence not have the same effect? Why would synthesized CSAM distract pedophiles from their activities when real CSAM from their fellow pedophiles doesn't?
Isn't confabulation a better term than hallucination?
I would prefer a comparison to pre- Q4Y20 (release of the M1 mac and the surge of companies replacing Intel macs) and pre- Q2Y20 (start of COVID and WFH mandates). or even Q3Y22 when they come out with the M2. If you trend it against those periods, how much has changed? Is it far below 2019? Companies were rushing to replace all Intel macs after the M2 (when it supported dual monitors), and are now falling into more of the standard 2-3 year upgrade cycle. If you take out those big sales spikes, do the sales look as bad? Or do they fall more in-line with the PC sales slumps?
Make that a sample size of two.
> It actually goes back much farther than that to WW1 and the dissolution of the Russian Empire and the fighting that happened amongst the middle eastern states, the new Bolshevik government, and the Triple Entente, and of course the Balfour Decleration

I’m pretty sure it goes back much, much, further than that.
And in other contexts, we call it "improvisation", "educated guessing", or "creativity".
Wow. This looks like a very significant discovery. Humans in New Mexico in 25,000 BCE, incredible.
I look at it more like this;

"Vendor lock your data and workload on OUR platform and we'll shield you forever!"

The fear being that you'll perform experiments outside of their cleverly scoped sandbox where they get to amortize your training data into theirs for free.

Basically "sure, you can bring your toys over to play in our sandbox. You just have to leave them here so we can be sure you don't eclipse our capability or market share without us."

Almost all of this functionality has been available for many years through the reverse engineered API used by the official Tesla app. There is unofficial third party documentation and many third party apps using it are available.

The difference here is that Tesla is creating a new, officially supported API explicitly for third parties, with official documentation, scoped authentication, and a developer program that requires registration (and in the future, payment). Presumably once the SDK is finalized they will start cracking down on apps using the older reverse engineered API.

The only new functionality AFAIK is a push API that allows cars to directly stream information to your server via their cellular connection; previously the information was available but required polling through Tesla's intermediary servers.

The charging api end points are also interesting here. I imagine thats it will get more fleshed out for the all the other manufactures in the US to start using the superchargers.
So the argument is “Our brains can freewheel generative ideation without mistaking our imagination for fact”.

Both answers have major downsides.

If you pin your dependencies, when something you depend on fixes a security bug you don't get the fix unless you notice the new release and realize you need to apply it.

If you do not pin your dependencies, then your code will randomly break because you are depending on something that changed (Hyrums law). You push to CI and now you have build failures to fix unrelated to your change in the best case. In the worst case everything builds and you ship to customers who discover the issue (even if you have a great manual test plan that would have discovered it: if it is the last build before release you probably don't run the full plan)

I don't have a good answer here. I'm in the pin everything camp, and can report it is hard to notice all changes upstream. It was just a few years ago we finally threw away a computer with Windows XP with no service packs - it sat in a closet for years untouched just in case we had to rebuild some old software.

Thanks Harrison, hope you're well!
I suppose in principle you could partition a drive n ways the run RAIDZ1? Though performance would probably be mediocre and there'd be some oddities.

Occurs to me know that as a practical matter perhaps raw storage will solve this for a lot of people. The pace of increase in storage/$ still seems to be steady, and in turn continues to mean more and more people trivially have their total needs exceeded. At some point may be perfectly reasonable to throw half at redundancy?
Are you sure vehicles that are planned to have features enabled will still work without that? There are modules which should be regarded as secondary and that will put the vehicle in a sort of "degraded state" when inhibited.
Contra the headling, we should "celebrate being wrong" – when it's wrong in fast, interesting, & voluminous ways that can then be filtered or corrected.

That's how lots of science, innovation, & learning work: generate many superficially-plausible candidates via a fast-and-loose process, then refine with a more rigorous evaluation.

That AIs, in the form of LLMs, are now doing this so well was unexpected, and progress in checking 'hallucinations' is proceeding very fast.

(Fortunately, the article is less dismissive than the headline, recognizing these model's potential & mainly urging an understanding of the limitations.)
>> We currently have a defender from the technodystopia in Sam Altman

Was it sarcasm? Sam Altman is the most dangerous man on the planet right now because he is manipulating the public with the AI alignment "problem" while simultaneously changing the Open AI "core values" and developing AGI. And let's not forget his "retina" project with the scam coin. Sam Altman wants to be the sole owner of an AGI that will predict whatever he wants.

>> Giving one guy or one small group of people vetted by Elizier Yudkowsky complete monopoly over this technology

Nope. Giving anyone or any group exclusive access or the right of veto over a technology will result in a dystopia. Especially after Elizier's hysterical letter and calls to bomb the data centers. He is biased, and his letter was not rational; it was very emotional and full of fear. This does not make his point of view any more justifiable.
So I hope that was a sarcasm too.

Some links to get you started. B1 deficiency can be caused by things like alcoholism. He also thinks we don’t get enough of b1 in our diet and the current scale is not sufficient.

Symptoms can vary and can involve different nervous systems. Things like tingling, insomnia, fatigue.

A lot of people talk about getting paradoxical reaction or refeeeding syndrome, meaning once they start taking b1 they get massive flare up of symptoms.

> prior material in the book hammered the point that the printed representation of any object is a S-expression

Yes, he does say that. The problem is that this is wrong. There are many printed forms of objects that are not S-expressions. In fact, these are so common that CL has some fairly extensive infrastructure for dealing with these cases.

S-expressions have nothing to do with printing (except insofar as Lisp makes an effort to maintain read-print consistency in some circumstances), they have to do with reading. They are operational at the beginning of the read-eval-print loop, not at the end.
Visual Studio actually puts the menubar in the titlebar; I never have any place to click left unless the window is maximized (or, at least, full width).
Many participating libraries in California and, on a good year, a couple in Nevada have a glorious cooperative system. Cities, counties, universities... A majority of items are easily available from the system when not on the shelf at some local branch. A free and fast alternative to the old style interlibrary loan.

At the several libraries where I have tried to use them, suggestions for purchases are readily followed. Surprisingly regardless of holdings elsewhere in the system! The librarians seem eager for these requests. At some libraries that leads to excesses: a couple yards of religious stuff suddenly appears in the New section... Then that requester calms down.

Here the problem truly is pruning: done without regard for the otherwise massive holdings of the cooperative system. Or for the massive amounts of space still available for stacks at my local library.

I guess idiosyncratic local quirks here and there. Operating suggestions and attending board meetings is possible but I have not made a crusade of the pruning issue. Not so far anyway.

For a few years, the director of one of the county libraries was hell bent on making non-residents pay for a membership. So I was not a member of that one for a few years - enough other libraries left. Until she left and things returned to sanity. Things in public libraries can be run pretty "seat of the pants" by just a few people.

A friend of mine once had a guitar, it was a cheap squire strat, even as a learner I thought I could tell it was a terrible guitar, the action was so high I think it legally needed a transponder. Anyway, one day a friend brings one of their musician friends over, he picks up the guitar and shreds on this thing like I've never seen before, it sounds incredible, he doesn't complain about the guitar at all, he just rips on it.

I learned an important lesson that day about artistic pursuits. It's rarely the tool/instrument. It's mostly the artist.

In the U.S. legal system, is it possible to create a corporation specifically to do something of uncertain legality, so as to limit the liability?

E.g., could we create a FuckYouMazda corporation, whose sole purpose was to develop this software. And if Mazda successfully sued for copyright damages, the financial liability is limited to the corporation's assets?
One of my Mastodon accounts. (The other doesn't take money yet.) Plus a national newspaper, and a bunch of people on Patreon and elsewhere. I'm happy with the arrangements.
Agreed.

I don't "agree to disagree", they offer a function that's unusable.

It would be the equivalent of MacOS breaking the ability to double click on an app.

But it's okay because you could use Spotlight.

That's great and all, but if everything else allows double clicking and MacOS allowed double clicking but only on the absolute centre pixel, we would all consider it broken.
I don't know - I have a bunch of the "prosumer" Sony full-frame cameras (A9, A7RIV) and I usually take all my family and vacation photos with the phone camera. I only pull out the full-frame when the conditions are right or I make a dedicated effort to take "good photos".

Smaller cameras are imo better tweaked for immediate output, pro/sumer cameras are tweaked for "more options in processing". Sure, some point and shoot cams had AF issues or you might not like their color presets but imo they often take better shots in general (when you don't want to post-processing time into them!).

Imo, photos taken with proper camera take work to make the images really look good. The end-result can be a lot better but straight-out-of-camera a phone is better tweaked for "good enough", even though the "full potential" output does not compare at all to a full-frame cameras full potential.
Is Unicode support on the todo list?
You can't just have a "good" internet connection. For some games the difference between 30ms and 100ms latency is a great experience vs being almost unplayable. This is not exaggeration, this is fact and millions of gamers who actually measure their ping will tell you the same.
>Naturally, in a country with a deep history of skepticism of centralized government authority, people don't view public-sector unions very favorably.

This feels contradictory to the sentiment in the preceding statement at first glance. If the people are generally skeptical of centralized government authority, why would they also be skeptical of unions who push back against that centralized authority, as opposed to seeing themselves as on the same side?

Porsche will sell you a new dashboard for your classic 911 that appears visually identical to the original, but is entirely modern in its construction.

Porsche's classic division is really setting the standards for supporting older cars. They realize over time it'll become an increasingly relevant portion of their business and just increase revenue. You can even send a car out to Germany and they'll fully restore it (at quite a price). The big thing though is they simply produce parts for their older cars.

Mercedes-Benz is also pretty up there for supporting their classic cars. Aston Martin also increasingly building out their support for their cars. Ferrari and Lamborghini starting to get more into the game, but for those brands it very much remains going to a big few shows in the EU to round up parts at times. Toyota, Nissan, Ford, Chevrolet also have some levels of support.

The DMCA notice is unclear here. It is odd that it calls out all implementations including both their copyrighted ios and android apps, as well as the client implementations in Javascript and Python.

Presumably neither their ios nor Android app used Python, so direct copyright infringement seems impossible.

It certainly seems likely that this DMCA notice was in bad faith.
No, its not a sustainable business at all.

But the population is huge.

And most of the finetuners/mergerers are indeed not making much money, but (IMO) they are closer to "power users" than open source code maintainers, and shouldn't necessarily be raking money in like they are a lynchpin.
If you want people to use the official app (if there is/were one, I don't know), and use the app to upsell and market, or collect and sell additional user data, you're not interested in an open ecosystem.

Just remember: they don't just want money. They want all the money.

That said, the contribution of something on the scale and quality of Nebula back to the open source community is hard to argue with.
