It's actually not apple seeds by themselves. Apple seeds will pass through the digestive tract intact. However, the seeds contain amygdalin inside them, which will react into cyanide in the stomach. So what's toxic is chewing and then swallowing apple seeds. Peach seeds also contain amygdalin, although you're much less likely to try to eat one of those.
Not only there is no stable ABI, but there is no stable API.

When only the ABI changes, a recompilation of all sources is enough.

When the API changes, then programmers must manually edit the sources and change function invocations and data structures, to match the new API.

I agree that more standards and ethics are required for news and media.

I strongly recommend you to pick up H&P's Computer Organization and Design: the Hardware/Software Interface. I think you can really only appreciate their other great book, "A Quantitative Approach" if you properly learn a new architecture, then the big ideas behind "A Quantitative Approach" will really speak to you.

Organization and Design has different editions for RISC-V, aarch64 and MIPS. The MIPS one is what I learned computer architecture on and it's super solid.
Why is there "no reasonable way to predict what the solutions would be" in a world where work is done by AI? The US already has a solution. Build that AI and charge others to use it. Same as they do with "old school" software.
> Education being compulsory for students who don’t want it is an extreme social mistake and one we should remedy as soon as possible.

I disagree. Children often don't see the value of education - partially because it's not shown to them.

It is very good, and much less hassle than Parsec to setup today.

I’ve been doing this for a long while now, here’s one of the most complete writeups I did last year: https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2022/10/23/1700

TL;DR: install xorgxrdp-glamor and make sure you are using the Xorg session in xrdp-sesman.

It is almost as fast as GPU-accelerated RDP in Windows, although that relies on deeper acceleration support (I have notes on that here: https://taoofmac.com/space/protocols/rdp )

A big concern I have right now is that Wayland is nowhere near as useful for multi-user RDP access (it doesn’t even seem to support offscreen GPU accelerated rendering, but that may just be my testing on Fedora).

Discalimer: Didn't read TFA.

Is there any legit data about how much revenue loss is resulted from adblocking users?

From my years of experience commutiny and knowning non-tech savvy users(majority of my circle and beyond), most people just mindlessly wait for the video ad to display the skip button and then continue watching.

I would assume that only a very minor segment of users use anykind of adblock. And if anyone is using adblock, it means they are extremely hard customers to sell anything and probably can spot all the scammy things those ads are promoting. And to add insult to injury, now even 5 minutes of videos include at least 3 minutes(exaggerated but not too much) of promotions by the creator.

If, YT is suffering from this already hard to convert people using adblocks, I'd say they need to look at their business model.

Also, unlike may be 2-3 years ago, most people during my daily commute to work no longer watch YT, rather the frequent stuff are FB/TikTok/Instagram reels/shorts(or whatever those are called).

Also, I'd pay for a subscription if getting YT premium means my search for things wouldn't turn up a video where someone is typing something or doing 10 promotions(on top of obnoxious Dior or whatever adverts) before sharing the actual information at last 1-2 seconds or no useful info at all even. Recently, when I seek for something, the top 10 results are frequently click-baits, promoting lots of garbage with no useful info at all (ala recipe sites w/ huge history and tradition blurb before giving the recipe).

Building physical goods is a service too.

And will soon require the AI to do so.

Why would someone in the US, China or India buy a physical product build by a machine in Europe for which the European company has to pay an US company like Tesla to use their software? Why not build the thing right in their country?
I guess local computer repair shops will offer that service.
It makes life so much easier. Time is non renewable, and if you want to pull a project apart for whatever reason, you still can.

“docker pull”, deploy, and one can move on to the next whatever. You can deploy this to a Synology NAS, a Raspberry Pi, or Heroku with a few clicks (or even an appropriately configured router that supports containers if you’re not running something providing this functionality natively).

(DevOps/infra monkey before moving to infosec, embrace the container concept)
Another is the availability of a good GPU-accelerated client, but I can’t seem to get the Xrdp SDL client to build and work right either.
I think it's mostly for intranet setup. Most router still use http for management ui, as it's complicated to setup an working certificate, especially only with ip.
>Ahn says parents have called her mobile phone some days from 6 a.m. until 11 p.m., wanting to talk about their child or complain.

This happens in the US too. I think we generally need much stronger rules about when parents can contact teachers and what expectations there are about response times. You shouldn't need to spend every waking minute of your day on-call for a job that pays ~$60k/year. This kind of stuff is the norm now and people wonder why no one wants to go into the teaching profession anymore.
Maybe it's untenable, counterproductive or simply a bad idea :-)

By the way, they ("they" as in "companies") probably should have quotas for people like me. The disadvantaged. Born in a village.

Although peasants made 60% of the population in Romania in 1990 when revolution happened, and they still make a big chunk today, less than 1% of software developers in Romania originate in a village. And the ones like me who made it this far are met with scornful comments like "well, you wasn't really a peasant because youz family was if not rich at least definitely not poor".

"Shoot the Kulaks", right?
The point is they can't. Win11 won't install on older PCs due to arbitrary TPM and CPU generation requirements.

Sure, there are ways people can technically bypass those restrictions but the normal PC user won't be able to do that. They'll just keep using Win10 without security updates.

You can do that with m3u8 files. This is done for example by Pluto TV. Sure it is easily circumvented by simply stripping out these URLs, especially if they are marked as ads (And removing a m3u8 tag)

But in the end it would be again an arms race of adblockers and Google, so it would change basically nothing.

>...a side bet to make sure if their own efforts fail there is a serious competitor...

My point is that this is not how a healthy company can think about its most strategic activities. This sort of failure is not something you can hedge against.

It's like Apple hedging against the risk of failing to keep iPhone competitive by investing in some other device maker that might be able to compete with Samsung.

As others have pointed out, there's STM research in PL, it's not entirely about hardware. (The link I gave wasn't great, sorry.)

Could you link to the relevant docs? I wasn't aware Ada had anything like this.

Is this implemented under the hood with deep copying? Because if so, that would explain why it hasn't started to catch on anywhere until now. Swift and Hylo have much more efficient implementations that "copy all the time".

There's active research in this general space. I met someone who was working in it on a train, though I forget the details.

Sure. I mean Rust lifetime discipline is "achievable" in C too, so long as you're very very careful.

> Lifetimes in Cyclone seem the best example of PL research in the last 50 years you have there, as it’s only 20 years old.

It typically takes 10+ years for PL research to go from papers to research languages to being incorporated into"real" languages.

Always.
Obviously it depends on the product/project, but the backend (data modeling, state management, data locality, etc) is crucial to how the product works and UX. The most common gaps I've seen are ineffective reasoning about the state of the user over time, permutations of different logical states, and consistency across surfaces owned by different teams. A good BE product engineer can get their head around the whole problem space and reason about the UX holistically in a way that can provide a huge amount of value to designers and product managers in interactive sessions. If BE does not get a seat at the table you often end up with non-sensical PRDs, designs missing critical details, or worse visual typos end up being interpreted as requirements.

Of course many FE engineers have the chops to solve for these things, as well as PMs and designers with technical background, deep domain expertise, and other qualifications that can make up for these gaps. I came up professionally in the early web days and building startups where it was normal to wear many hats, so it's more about skillsets than rigid titles and role definitions. I've just seen a very common gap that a lot of ostensibly professional proddev folks, even at top companies, have borderline magical thinking about the deeper layers of the product stack.

But in fairness, one has to say that after building a $650B company (Tesla) and a $150B company (Space X), it is not necessarily a sign of business failure when one buys a $44B company they want to restructure and cut revenues in half in the process.

Like when you have built a 65 floor skyscraper and buy a 4 floor house as the base for your next project. You wouldn't probably be that scared to take off 2 of the floors if your plan is to reshape it into the next skyscraper.

I don't know the exact rule, but "abstraction layers" for a driver are disallowed. I believe it was AMD or ATI that added a new driver for a device, but they basically just took the code from their proprietary driver, and then put an "abstraction layer" in the middle. That did not make the kernel overlords happy and that version of the code was never merged.

It's fun how I feel like you're quite literally describing Google/Android as well.

Google's TV platforms are Chromecast, Nexus Q and Android TV (and don't get me started on Google TV).

Android added widgets and then largely forgot about it. Nowadays looks like it came back (partly thanks to Apple supporting it?)

Android added blur in Android 2. Removed it in Android 3. Added it in Android 11. Removed it Android 12.

Android added dynamic backgrounds in Android 2. Then largely recommended to stop using it. Then added as a beautiful new feature in Pixels.

On a more purely technical note, I have even a better one: Does Android's boot.img contain an initramfs? In Android 6 yes, in Android 7/8 it depends, in Android 9 no, in Android 10 yes, in Android 14 no.

And Google also like to remove user's data without much recourse.
