They did a LOT wrong, including thinking their 'customer' were the phone carriers, betting that Nokia understood those 'customers' better, and betting that Apple wouldn't be able to make any meaningful inroads without the carriers.

Apple mostly went around the carriers initially and for the first time consumers started buying phones without a carrier contract in meaningful numbers.

Nokia were proven wrong, hubris got the better of them.
I am wondering what happened with the major techs.

Amazon actually used to be the world's most customer-centric company, and Google used to try to not be evil.

Building long-term trust is good business, and I did a lot of business with both because I trusted them due to a good track record. They could charge more, and I'd still do business.

Now, they feel sleazy and evil. I've been burned enough times in the past five years that I would pick a random vendor I know nothing about over either. They need to significantly undercut on price or win on performance for me to even consider doing business.

Trust takes a long time to earn, and can be lost very quickly.
>Who exactly is the government

A wealth tax implies the government, either federal or state that implements it.

>And why does the answer to that question imply the company will be driven into the ground?

Because companies with long shot visions cannot be run by committee. There is far too much temptation to sell out early. Elon very specifically holds the majority of SpaceX to ensure the vision of going to Mars doesn’t get disrupted by the quest for profit.

>And certainly there are large companies today without a single shareholder holding $1 billion.

Certainly, and they are beholden to the quarterly report and the whims of board politics.

>owned by large institutional investors, a meager 0.31% combined by executives in the company, and the rest is the general public with no dominant shareholder.

And what has McDonald’s done that’s innovative in the last 20 years?

>Again, it's really not hard to imagine a world where no single person owns more than $1 billion of collective capital and equity, and still operates in a capitalist fashion.

Of course it’s not hard to imagine. It’s not any less of a dumb idea though. Forcing a weird ceiling on control of a business when the original goal was a wealth tax is pretty absurd. Is the goal to strip away ability to control the company or is it to just tap into the potential wealth those shares represent?

Yeah the non-web runtimes are playing catch-up with GC, but the upcoming Firefox 120 and Chrome 119 releases will have GC enabled by default. Not sure what state Safari is in but presumably not far behind. WASM GC should be usable in all major browsers by the end of the year.

Working AI Agent Examples?
Has anyone got good examples of AI agents performing tasks and executing in an on-going manner?

All the examples I’ve seen stop short of this or are just using agents to talk to each other, but not actually execute.
Is this a current limitation?
For example, making images to advertise a new product design, testing those ads with Google ads, feeding back and optimizing the images
Mix of both. Some data needs to be ready on page load, but we also have quite a number of interactive use cases (e.g., form validation with a backend query).
Is this like the delayed echo of the US tech redundancy wave (Europe always operates with a phase difference - maybe its the time it takes for management consultancy powerpoints to cross the Atlantic) or is it something more specific?
They hired Bobby Tables.
Yes, same with HTTPS Everywhere in Chrome.
I don't. I guess you're right that even if they did, they'd do so without publicity.

I've seen arguments saying they are still against it, because in the long run, if UAW workers get way better salaries/benefits than Tesla workers, they'll unionize or leave for a union job regardless.

In other words: they want to keep exploiting their workers as much as possible for as long as possible.

I'd really love someone to explain how it's confusing: As the parent says, it's dead obvious that it's not going to be GPT-4 running on your Macbook, the title starts by naming it something else, it aims for the very specific style of completion of Github Copilot...

Normally these projects hijack the word 'local' by sending all of your data to a 3rd party API and that is confusing... but we finally get one that runs the model locally, does what it says on the tin, and some people still find a way to paint it as deception?
Nokia still exists? It looks like they make mid to low tier phones. What value could they possibly bring to the table? They should take the Volvo / Epic route and just sellout to the Chinese now.

Gotta love security theater like this:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Exein-io/pulsar/main/pulsar-install.sh | sh

So secure, I mean it's forcing https AND tls1.2 - maximum security! Especially when you just pipe a random script into shell.

Also, no information on its authors, who audited the code, what makes it "secure" enough to warrant giving an administrative entitlement over my system. Hard pass.
They don't make just phones - they make cables, infrastructure, etc etc.

Doubly suspicious.
Thanks I had no idea what they were referencing. Is the image used for the wagie cage from a real patent application?
Sure; or spending 8 trillion dollars - well over a trillion on interest to those same banks - on a 'war on terror' that actually increases terror.

But was any of that state 'power'? Or state weakness?
You don’t expect it, but it is. And all I am saying is that I’m not surprised it isn't already “part of the process.” Just because it’s not part of our filing process doesn’t mean the data and its relationships don’t exist.

Heck, I’m the first to say 99% of this should not exist in the first place. (That means I think the nation state concept should not exist.. there should be none.)

But be honest with yourself: you know society tacitly accepts interfaces between dbs for the corporate purpose of profit… (advertising, etc)
I sort of get it, but are there really people willing to run something that works this way in production?

It does LD_PRELOAD based dynamic syscall interception - which is dangerous enough, but also doesn't work for a lot of cases.

So they have a JIT ELF translator that will redirect calls for static binaries.

While all this is cool technically, this is not a recipe for stability of your binaries.
I don’t think you know what “guarantee” means. If it was a guarantee, malpractice insurance wouldn’t exist.
I would bet that the root of both is diet. A diet that leads to Alzheimers will result in a certain kind of gut microbiota. I would guess that sugar and carbs generally, along with fiber, are the problem.
So there should be a size limit corporations. Too big and it starts interfering with the system. The system that maintains the lives of us citizens.

I think that's straightforward enough.
I think the answer lies in the massively increased administrative presence over the last few decades.
Think and Grow Rich written by Napoleon Hill is the book that had the biggest impact on me. By the name you would think that only talks about money and finance, but the real message is about the power of desire. I loved it and really changed my mind and the way of doing things. Really recommend it.

When I read about these kind of things I am reminded of this James Mickens quote

"Unfortunately, large swaths of the security community are
fixated on avant garde horrors such as the fact that, during
solar eclipses, pacemakers can be remotely controlled with a
garage door opener and a Pringles can. It’s definitely unfor-
tunate that Pringles cans are the gateway to an obscure set
of Sith-like powers that can be used against the 0.002% of
the population that has both a pacemaker and bitter enemies
in the electronics hobbyist community. However, if someone
is motivated enough to kill you by focusing electromagnetic
energy through a Pringles can, you probably did something to
deserve that. I am not saying that I want you dead, but I am
saying that you may have to die so that researchers who study
per-photon HMACs for pacemaker transmitters can instead
work on making it easier for people to generate good passwords."

I feel like the same thing applies when we are talking about these kind of attacks. I mean right now the latest version of express currently has a dependency on a library that has a known RCE. I mean listen 99% of us work in a company where if someone wanted to steal our information they'd pay the janitor $500 to grab it on his way out. Is this really a huge priority?
Didn't everyone who requires their code to run fast already upgrade to M1/M2 processors?

"The ads were paid for by an outfit called Digital Eagle, which the transparency page says is an advertiser whose identity has been verified by Google."

OF COURSE they were verified by Google. Google verifies identity by accepting money. Give them money, and you're verified.

"Google representatives didn’t immediately respond to an email" Are there real humans at Google who actually answer email? I haven't seen a response from Google in more than a decade. It makes me wonder if all the phishing and spam I'm reporting even does anything.

Honestly, it's time for the world to move on from Google. They haven't been safe to use as a search engine for more than two years.

After clients had been sent to phishing sites by Google's ads, I decided to block these domains on all the networks I administer:

googlesyndication.com

Not every talented person is motivated by greed for personal wealth and status. Actually most aren't.
Because unions protect everyone in ways that don't directly relate to pay scale. They help defend against abusive time-off, on-call, or surveillance practices, advocate for pro-worker policies like parental, bereavement, and sick leave, help prevent employees from being fired for using these benefits...
My estimation is that Epic sold all of the IP (name, other trademarks, code, infrastructure, etc) along with the right to be the successor to the extensive license agreements and contracts that they held. Included in this is HR records, which allows the new owner to make offers to the folks that Epic is no longer employing after the deal finishe(d/s).

M&A transactions can get pretty complicated for exactly these reasons; frequently, they disassemble the entire set of assets for sale and divvy them up across one or more buyers, who will pick and choose what they want and then reconstitute whatever they have purchased to their desired degree.

I see so many binary options scam ads on YouTube, often with a very poorly deepfaked Elon Musk as a spokesman. Google never takes them down.

Those questionable websites often do redirection to a legit site like Google unless certain condition is met. For example, it could detect and only lead the user to the fake site if the user is coming from the ad. It's a common technique for them to avoid getting caught.

FWIW, there is a recipe for this in the Python docs[0]. It was developed in collaboration with Alan Downey and Tim Peters:

from random import Random
from math import ldexp

class FullRandom(Random):

def random(self):
mantissa = 0x10_0000_0000_0000 | self.getrandbits(52)
exponent = -53
x = 0
while not x:
x = self.getrandbits(32)
exponent += x.bit_length() - 32
return ldexp(mantissa, exponent)

Come to Italy some time.
The so what is that the comment is completely and totally wrong in it's estimation of how simple or not it would be.

That is all.

We should decide what to do about it based on correct data and sane assumptions, not random assertions that are off by orders of magnitude and backed by no data.
Seeing as I have to jump through hoops with know-your-customer laws, it would be nice if companies had to do that also in all these instances that make life difficult.

That code makes zero sense in Unicode. First question how are representing your umlauts, followed by Zero Join Width Characters.

You never work on characters, you work on grapheme clusters or whatnot but never characters.
The kind of mental arm wrestling you just engaged in to explain that point is why "punching up", which usually involves some amount of drift from norms and ethics, is problematic. The people willing to engage in that and who think doing patriotic duty is a problem is a near circle.

It should be, actually, as long as you give it all the source code or give it object files with the summary data in them.

The summary mod/ref info should be enough to get it right, because it should say the function does not modify the argument, and that should get propagated through.

The tricky case is where it sometimes modifies the argument - the summary data is not flow sensitive, IIRC

Flow sensitive algorithms are still really expensive worst case (N^3 minimum, sometimes exponential), but could be made practical here using BDD's. Most compilers still do not use BDD's to represent this sort of large binary decision data, even though they are very good at it. It's an area where research always felt more advanced than production (IE even if you don't go whole-hog on datalog, the data structures are still very useful for this sort of otherwise-memory/time intensive data)

In any, fat LTO should defintely be enough.
Attempts were made:

I'm lost. Presumably chemistry would work the same everywhere. So we should be able to recreate or predict some environments that would yield the same magic as 1g, 70deg F, carbon-based life, but with other parameters. Yet the consensus seems to be that there are relatively few other parameter sets that would yield some alien equivalent of organic chemistry.

What gives?
> but what has this to do with storage systems?

The article is about POSIX compliance (or lack thereof) of storage systems.

And the article does not imply that “POSIX … sucks”. On the contrary: the answer to the rhetoric question in the title is obviously “no”.

> It's almost always a better idea … to write your own thin specialized glue layer between your application code and operating system APIs.

Oh, definitely. But writing good abstractions that work equally well with POSIX-compliant filesystems and with object storage is basically impossible without massive trade-offs. That’s the entire point of the product that’s advertised here: it provides a link between object storage and POSIX-compliant file access that manages these trade-offs extremely well, and it allows users to use their existing glue code for POSIX without having to deal with object storage altogether.

(COI disclaimer: I used to work on this product; but I no longer have any stakes in it, financial or otherwise.)
