Quite the understatement from TFA:

"That complicates the public’s understanding of an event that still resonates, as tensions remain high between Tehran and Washington over the Islamic Republic’s rapidly advancing nuclear program, its aiding of militia groups across the Mideast and as it cracks down on dissent."

The timing of this mea culpa from the CIA is very interesting.

Is the CIA essentially saying "oops, sorry"? And if so, why, and why now, at this moment?

There are many different types of open source projects. Those created for purely commercial exploitation usually don't care about the societal benefits much (but they are still there, fortunately.

That's simple: most want heavy regulation and AI licenses so there's less competition.

A few others just have big heads from the "baby AGI" hype.

But the only thing any kind of "safety license" will hurt is the AI consumer.

Ask HN: How are you finding active online communities nowadays?
Asking to find communities to join for work discussions.

Reddit doesn't support conversational discussions well. Then, Slack & Discord are walled-off, hard to find, or inactive.
Mazda is (otherwise) a great and relatively speaking small car company. I agree with ChuckMcM; this is sad.

Note that the complaint appears to have been filed on behalf of Mazda North American Operations.
Yes, all of those things also are bad and need to me addressed; that doesn't make cars less of a problem. But of the things you've listed, I would tend to say that only phones are as invasive as cars, and there are reasonable mitigations for that. Frankly, if there were a LineageOS for cars I'd be much happier.

(Edit) Actually, come to think of it the lack of reasonable solutions is a lot of the difference. I can use cash or a vpn, but I still have to drive to get places.

Science progresses because people are testing plausible ideas not random ideas.

We don’t do human trials on random drugs, we do human trials on promising ones. Animal trials are more open but even then candidates are carefully considered as being viable. Things are even more open the earlier you are in drug discovery, but we aren’t testing molecules using Dubnium or most elements on the periodic table.

Similarly Ecology isn’t studying what happens when you introduce each type of salt water fish into lakes because the general assumption is they would just die thus saving you from preforming millions of experiments. That basic check for plausibility is extraordinarily valuable across all sciences.

There’s no sacred cows here. You do need to validate plausibility just like anything else, but you don’t need to do an exhaustive search across every possibility.

The relevant competition is between Xbox and PlayStation exclusive titles. Xbox has essentially no exclusive titles that are any good, while PlayStation has many. It will make Xbox more competitive, theoretically. Though I don’t think Activision Blizzard has any great games these days anyway.
It's also the first noteworthy brand I've seen sell down jackets without disclosing any ethical measures or certifications.
This is great if it works for your circumstances but is not possible for many, especially in the US.
Exactly how liable the shareholders are is going to vary a lot by state. Generally a plaintiff has to show the shareholders exercised excessive control over the corporation such that the corporation is essentially a sham.

However, a person is generally liable for his own torts regardless of corporation. The shareholders might not be liable vis-à-vis the corporation, but the actual programmers and managers doing the infringement could likely be sued individually the same as if they weren't working for a corporation.
A right to privacy has to be defined inclusive of "what," and "to whom?" Your right to privacy at an alcoholics anonymous meeting wouldn't extend to other present members for example but it reasonably could extend to nonmembers.

Our right to be secure in our papers and persons was interpreted as including our mail, and our mail (in present form) is being "opened" by the government today. That means we have a right that could be called a right to privacy and is clearly being infringed. I can wish wisdom for the people tasked with determining the exact nature of the rights we have but some current events are beyond the degrees of freedom in that discussion given some precedents as old as our country itself.
> ZFS RAID is production quality and safe to use. Not the case with Btrfs

Btrfs works and has worked fine for RAID0 and RAID1. It is specifically RAID5, RAID6, et al.

That said, I prefer ZFS (we'll see what happens when bcachefs is merged), though Synology DSM doesn't offer it and it can be a PITA to not being able to run latest Linux kernel. Especially (solely?) on a rolling distro I didn't like that.

There's drivers for both to run under Windows btw.

> What did they think they were?

FWIW, that question is itself very modern. You can find the seeds of it in many cultures and histories, and analogize it to certain folk stories, but you can very successfully navigate a world that simply "is" without all that "what" and "why" business we get intensely caught up in now.

Having some cultural wisdom that reminds you to move camp under certain season, climate, or weather patterns will get your culture through lifetimes of tornadoes without ever spending much thought on "what" tornadoes are (whatever that even means).
> So close to getting it right... Consider the countercase, where the company says up front that the product is only open source temporarily. Would anyone use them? Maybe, but they'd have a way harder time getting any buy-in.

You cannot retroactively remove the open source license, so what the vendor is doing is to stop supporting and developing the open source version. If the software is relevant then, as we can see, those who can still exploit it for commercial purposes (hyperscalers and distributors) are likely to come in, fork it, and pay for its continuation.
If Playwright et al didn't exist, that might lead to an "OpenCypress" fork... but given that alternatives exist, this sounds like Cypress is going to die a lonely death, trying to pump as much money as possible out of Enterprise sales before it is forgotten.
Doesn't help that crypto and then AI back to back killing the consumer GPU market. A lot of people want to buy GPUs to play games but basically they are priced out by the enterprise market.

Non related question: there are some examples of good public APIs docs? I would like to develop a product that serves an API but it’s very hard to get a great API as template.
To be clear, I don't mind it getting suspended when there is a hardware failure. What I don't understand is why aren't there sane way (i.e some command sequence) to re-attach it.

Otherwise the feature set seems great: both a volume manager and a file system, seamless compression, deduplication, COW and snapshots - what's not to love :)
For me it was just getting an M silicone. Now that I have one, I don't feel like I am going to be replacing it for a very long time.
Anecdote: I taught at an online bootcamp and I swear our best cohorts were the ones before we started grading. We told them up front: "graduating" from this place doesn't mean anything--you don't get a diploma. They all knew the real test was to succeed in an interview and get a job, and they kept that focus, and worked hard and independently.

Once we started grading, suddenly the game was to get a good grade. And students have all kinds of ways of getting good grades that don't lead to jobs.
> But if half of all AP takers got 5s and the other half got 4s, then it would be time to reexamine the test.

Maybe, maybe not. If you spot check and a statistically significant sample shows kids are indeed learning first year college physics effectively in AP courses, perhaps you do a little happy dance and be glad something's working.

Employers don't seem to be hiring Harvard grads and going "holy shit this person doesn't know anything they're supposed to know" to half of them. Employers seem to be generally happy what an A student from Harvard comes to them with.

> But if nearly the entire class gets As, that signals that the class could be more rigorous, cover more material, etc.

Or that you've got a self-selecting population of high-achievers.

> My college had freshman courses where only 10% could get an A or A- (this amounted to 3 students, since the classes were capped at 30).

That's depressing. "You're an A student, but I'm required to give you a B for organizational reasons" is an absoutely nasty thing to do to a college kid.

I have 1 gbps as well and it has worked fine for me. Especially if I'm sitting close to the my AP or even better when connected via ethernet.

We're dealing with two different definitions of "willing." You're using willing to mean a desire to do it. I'm using willing to mean he will choose to do it. It's like I desire to quit my job, but I don't actually quit, because I'm not willing. I desire to be fit, but I'm not willing to give up desert.

It doesn't matter how much the mugger claims he doesn't want to lose his fingers, the fact that he will nevertheless choose a path that causes him to lose his fingers of his own volition means that he has set the utility as being lower.

Yes, the premise only makes sense if he values his finger more than £10, but he demonstrably does not, ergo the premise is contradicted.

The latency between a peripheral input and the visual feedback includes that latency between the client and server in a streaming scenario. The TV isn't smart enough to implement rollback netcode for every game.
One thing I don't see anyone mentioning here is that OpenWRT allows you to configure your router as code via config files in /etc/.

If you straddle the worlds of preferring a "normal" router to a custom built box but also want to keep your configuration history in git I think OpenWRT may be the best option.
According to the regulation, the eCall is only activated as the emergency is triggered (as the airbags trigger). According to what you can expect, it is hard to know if that is the way the manufacturers implemented it.
Sounds like it. Seems like they’re talking about replacing optical lithography.

The idea seems so ridiculously simple I’m thinking plenty of companies must have thought of it, and there must be a good reason it hasn’t been done before.

It should be an opinion piece. It's not.
I can't see how that will ever fly with actual gamers.

Playing a game with latency is horrible, be it artificial or not. If you want the pinnacle of any esport, it will be played on LANs and never streamed.

It's a subpar experience that almost exclusively casual gamers deem acceptable.

Exactly this,

Yes the PS5 is successful and they are now making some cocky decisions because of it. I also believe that they made some cocky decisions with the PS5 given how well the PS4 was.

In the same regard they made some decisions with the PS3 because of how well the PS2 did. The exception then was gamers reacted negatively so they were forced to change. This time that is not happening.

Exactly right. For what it's worth, Nvidia's GeForce Now is (and has been) substantially better. Interestingly, since this deal, you can now play a number of GamePass games on GeForce Now. There was a several minute long wait time to play Starfield on GamePass but it was available on GFN via my GamePass subscription - with no wait time. Same goes with a number of UbiSoft titles.

I had the best experience, quality wise, with Stadia though.
Appreciate the comment :)

Sidenote: we are going to be building a docusaurus plugin soon!
Honestly, I had to go a week without a smartphone earlier this year after I was mugged. I can do nearly everything on my laptop, so I didn't think it would be a big deal.

I utterly hated it. I didn't like not being able to check my email when necessary, I didn't like the fact that I had to find clever workarounds for 2FA, I didn't really have a way of listening to music portably without Youtube music. Even though I'm not huge fan of the Pixel 7, I was still able to breath a huge sigh of relief once I activated it.
My personal experience is that it's still as hard as before to get qualified engineers. I saw so many candidates who are really just box-drawing warriors or glorified coordinators who couldn't make coherent technical decisions. "Uber leads" who couldn't articulate why a decision was made or the landscape of their domains (by the way, "uber lead" is such a dubious term that signals that a candidate talks more than walk). ML engineers who claimed to build elaborate time series models couldn't explain how to encode time series. Backend engineers who claimed to lead a project of building a distributed file system couldn't explain how their systems manage metadata. Etc etc.
Came across that site before, really nice!

Problem with modern systems is mostly feature creep, I think. A crazy-hungry need to support any innovation or refinement introduced elsewhere.

By now we could have ultra-responsive, dirt cheap devices that last a month+ on a battery charge, with a full suite of productivity apps & development tools built in, booting in 1s from flash.

But of course, monochrome LCD character displays won't do. In comes color bitmap graphics.

2D won't do, software 3D is slow, so hardware 3D acceleration must be included.

A couple of programming languages won't do. 30+ of them are needed as minimum.

Text-menu based UIs are handy, but ehm... ugly? In comes GUIs.

Simple, responsive, reliable GUIs could be a thing. But of course we need resizable scrollbars, user options for where to put a taskbar, themes, resizable fonts rendered to subpixel accuracy, user settings for keyboard repeat delays or mouse double-click speeds, widescreen & rotateable monitors, and beautifully animated drop-down menus.

Picking some standard cpu architecture would be nice. But of course there's supercomputers, uC's, internet servers, car electronics & many more. Many of which use cpus optimized for their market.

Then from screen+keyboard we go mobile. Much of which on devices with tiny screens, using touchscreen & thumb-scrolling for input. This demands new UIs. And with built-in camera's, video capabilities are important.

Having all that, of course most software should run on as many of those systems as possible. With a consistent look & feel everywhere. And it's logical that code-once, press a button & run everywhere, is the norm.

But all our data lives in the cloud these days! So having a full-featured browser (preferably a selection of them) is a must.

Almost forgot - security! Software systems used to be based on open & friendly interaction. Not anymore! Networks are hostile. To fix, use process isolation, sandboxes, VMs, etc etc.

Not saying all the above isn't nice to have, useful or good-looking. But all those features & checkbox items DO come at a cost.

Worth it? You decide...
If generative AI can create a whole movie from scratch won't that mean the end of Hollywood as they would get replaced by OpenAI and co? Just because Hollywood won't do it does not mean no one will.

Yeah, M1 here. Not even thinking about replacement, not because the M2 and (presumably M3) aren't great, but the M1 MBP is just running perfectly and fast and quiet, I don't really see a need to upgrade yet.
> I was just thinking about this. I think LGPL was a great idea, but unfortunately, business rejected it, because contrary to free market ideology, they are interested in having control over their users (and don't want to show others their code).

There is not just "one uniform business". Companies who use open source components in their products reject copyleft for obvious reasons. Other companies with a commercial open source strategy usually use copyleft to keep competitors away. The irony of the copyleft effect today is that it does close to the exact opposite of what Stallman wanted to achieve.
I doubt the average consumer cares much about any upcoming M3. My wife's last laptop was a 2013 Macbook Air, and during lockdown I guess she decided she needed a new laptop so we got an M1 Air. She can definitely afford to upgrade annually. I expect that to last her until 2030 unless someone steps on it. My current travel laptop I purchased a couple weeks before covid hit, and besides struggling with most new indie games coming out, probably won't upgrade it before 2025 and I used to consider myself a "power user".

As long as vscode and chrome continue to run a rock-solid 60fps in Linux, I don't have much incentive to upgrade. I used to need to upgrade every 2-3 years to stay on the curve but it's such a long tail now, it's usually a hardware failure that necessitates upgrade, rather than technology itself.
