One of the things I feel OpenBSD has gotten right with pledge and unveil is the placement of responsibility. It's the developers who know and understands the code the best, so they are the most qualified to lock down the code.

AppArmor and SELinux is perhaps better suited for "easy" retrofitting and the rules are frequently shipped by the developers, but both are much harder to use and somewhat error-prone. I've seen more clients simply turning of SELinux or AppArmor than I have clients dedicating time to develop proper configurations.

Pledge and unveil just works, no mucking around in obscure configuration language or wondering if the error is in your configuration, AppArmor/SELinux or the code.
That's one really big s%^& sandwich.
I feel like we didn't really need you to explain that to us.
Absolutely. I'm just stating my personal preference, that's all.
sounds like you should go to medical school and prove the industry wrong then.
Really nice and polished. I was hopeful (but not expectant), that it would use the chatgpt internal API's rather than using the public API as the flat-cost for ChatGPT of $20 can easily give significant cost savings when used heavily, but I am certain this approach is both against their ToS and actively blocked. Still, I really like it!

The irony of the Community chat being on Discord rather than Slack isn't lost on me, why did you pick Discord over Slack?

This is not a domain I am knowledgeable about but : if Youtube detects (somehow) when an ad is blocked , why don't adblockers become "adfastworwarders" ?

I am using a bookmarklet to play Youtube videos faster & I noticed the videos are also played at the same speed. Couldn't "adfastworwarders" detect the start of an ad & like play it at x10 or x20? It would still create a tiny "cut" in the watching experience but perhaps a way to skip ads ?

Any reason this cannot be a path for adblockers?
That sounds like a failure of the DM, to be honest.
No, I don't have any suggested reading... just a plan of action should it be required. I'm assuming that enough work has been done that it should be possible to build a CRUD application in Pascal, and have it eventually produce working WASM executable code.

I have some existing code in pascal[1]... and it would be helpful for it to run in the browser.... lemme see how bad it is making this happen. It'll take a few days, I think.

I just can't tell what you want.

Like, colleges right now provide "shortcuts and simple experiments" to approximate knowledge that was gained with a much more rigorous path. Yet, you decry current college as not showing the full path, as taking shortcuts.

Now, you're saying that yes, we need such shortcuts, it doesn't have to be perfect, and it's a spectrum... all of which I agree with, and seems to be the opposite of what you said above.

What's the fundamental difference between what you describe and what colleges do? Or is it just a matter of execution quality?
That's more or less the opposite of communism.

I don’t think I agree with your top level suggestion if someone is in serious crisis, so I wanted to see if you had some particular experience.

Your follow up rubbed me the wrong way, but perhaps you simply misspoke when you said:

> wouldn’t call it a “major intervention” because I would consider anything that was a major intervention to involve some professional guidance.

Maybe you meant to say you recommend professional help if things are serious, but instead you said it isn’t serious unless a professional was involved. A lot of people don’t have or want professional help, land lots of non professionals find themselves with friends and loved ones and n crisis. A lot of people finding themselves making an intervention, even if that is only to convince someone to see a professional

Hi, not by itself no.

Since it is part of a bigger implementation, we tested if it has a measurible effect on the usual path and also verified if it is helping where it should help.

In the case, where there is a long running read operation in our Redis server, we saw that other reads not waiting and working at full speed.

In the other cases, like there are only writes against the server, we can not find a performance problem. To be exact, the more cpu usage is not comparable to the latency we already have. The network calls(even in local network) and all other works are already much more bigger bottleneck then the additional CPU cost we introduced here.
No they haven't. Consoles are the clearest example of where they lost, but also how frequently do new jailbreaks for modern iPhones appear?

That would be better. If I am honest, the very fact that something like this, has a gihub, and I can see the code (yes, it might not be the same code) makes me more confident about using a hosted service. But yes, I would possibly use this self-hosted.

The potential ability to make plugins for a self-hosted version this is very very interesting.

Publishing a tablet is much more than identifying the characters. There's often a step of "join", a kind of 3D puzzle where you try to join fragments of a broken tablet. And of course you have to provide the archaeological context. I heard several French assyriologists describe this whole work as long and tedious, especially for artefacts that were extracted long ago and have less context.

As far as I know, OCR for handwritten texts on paper gives poor results. A cuneiform text on a tablet is much harder: the surface is not flat, the visibility of marks is highly dependent on the lightning, cracks often alter the characters... For instance, when the writer misjudged the length of its text, he can write on the sides of the tablet, or the back side, usually more convex. Even producing a good series of photos of a tablet is hard work.

Not I, thank you. The folks who create and release open source software (which I myself have not done in many years now). I'm just reacting appropriately to their generosity which is actively contributing to the world being just that little bit better because of their actions / decision. :~)
There is a moral issue, you're right. Blocking ads is clearly morally permissible. Blocking ads is equivalent to not locking at billboards and skipping ad pages in a magazine (or tearing the pages out). There is no moral issue with any of that. You've bought a PC, you run whatever software you like on it. You have a right to chose how your machine displays content you download from the net. In turn, the maker of a web page can chose to offer whatever they want. If they need more money, then they can transmit the content only if you pay. That's perfectly feasible and reasonable. What they cannot and should be able to decide is how your machine displays their content and what kind of other software you use on your machine.

I believe that - if at all - only tightly controlled government authorities should be allowed to force display messages on end user machines, and if so, only in severe emergencies and for the protection of civilian lives.

People in this debate sometimes argue based on costs and money lost from ad revenue. These are business discussions that have no place in the moral evaluation at all. Not every business model works. So what, find another business model, is the answer.
Thank you for pointing that out. I used the wrong words. And way to less of them, too.

> The strongest argument for Google Tensor, at least for now, is the support timeline.

The strongest argument is actually to have ANY large company trying to balance the dominance of Qualcomm in the (Android) flagship segment by boosting another supplier.

Especially in US the preference of Qualcomm from carriers is so strong that even the juggernaut Samsung was not able to get their Exynos platform into a flagship more than one time (Galaxy S6 iirc) an always had to produce Qualcomm-based variants for US (which in turn limited their funding for R&D of the competing Exynos platform)

How much engineering could we do without Mathematics? How much commerce?

I don't see it as exclusionary. You won't find many scientists in doubt about the fact that everything they do is built upon Logic and Mathematics, in addition to observation.

But don't we need a word to group fields that try to systematically describe, understand, and make predictions about the physical world? (Rather than seeking to explore and characterise idealised logical constructs?). What would you suggest?
That might be true, but that doesn't mean the moonbase needs to be manned.

Especially since the signal lag from earth is so small, so you can even use remote human operators for many tasks instead of investing a lot in AI.

Because that was how you began life.

Your parents (and later/lesser, primary school teachers) were the source of answers on nearly everything.

There’s probably something quite natural about transferring a belief of being competent/knowledgeable in one area into some expectation of the same in another area. It's the underpinning of the "appeal to authority" logical fallacy.

It certainly works in the opposite direction: someone whom you know to pontificate out their backside on one topic, that expectation holds for the next, randomly chosen topic as well.

The only real solution to the cheating problem would be to get rid of automated matching systems and go back to moderated gaming rooms where there is always a human who can decide if they think someone is cheating and boot them.

You do lose a lot of features that way though, such as a reliable global ranking, since it would be easy to create a room with only your friends and allow eachother to rank up quickly.

It's also a huge coordination issue if you want to arrange a game of 50-100 players who aren't all total strangers to eachother.

But the alternative seems to be in stripping the ancient practice of gaming of its social functions and turning it into a faceless slot machine where the only goal is to win enough times to increase a mostly meaningless number on a screen.

Since the EU law is about making batteries "removable with normal tools" one could argue that encapsulating the battery like a camcorder battery with a plastic hull isn't needed.
A normal pouch with contacts will do.

Assuming "All day battery life" (24h) a 1% reduction in battery life is about equal to 15minutes but frankly I can't see the replaceable battery reduce the capacity at all if you are doing halfway good engineering - there is plenty of void space in an iPhone even now.
By that I mean space over/under PCBs where the battery cannot go because it is still just a rectangular polygon even in say the iphone 15. I think it has 2 rectangular smaller cells with a casing around them to make an L shape.

So why doesn't apple forgo the "casing" and take that sweet 10 to 20% extra capacity? :)
Valve's anticheat is atrocious, Counter-Strike is an absolute cesspool (so much that they've had to separate players who bought the game from players who play the free version), and Team Fortress 2 has had more bots than players for like 10 years now.

This seems like the kind of thing that is repeated so much because some people want to believe it, and most of the time I bet it's people who haven't played a Valve multiplayer game ever.
You may not see it as exclusionary but many people do. Just look at the comments!

It's precisely the grouping I am talking about.

If you group science in such a way so that logic/mathematics/computer science falls outside the group then isn't that an erroneous grouping?

Isn't that a silly definition?

True and False are idealized logical constructs. It's the idea; and the idealization of the notion that there is a difference between Truth and Falsehood. Or if you want to get biblical - there is a difference between Right and Wrong.

If True ≡ False then... fuck it.

Right. Plus, large providers usually don't offer support for small-sized instances/containers/whatever, so even if you optimized your deployment to use less resources, you need to buy a bigger thing.

But to the main point: using an extra layer which is on the top of said large provider, like here Vercel over AWS, is not a solution, as this middle man also can be marginalized by the big bully at some moment.

This is why I prefer small providers, like Vultr. (Not affiliated with them in any way; just a happy customer).

I found it extremely boring at first. I hugely disliked the potato graphics, the clunky animations and the rubbery faces.

Now I find I pick it up to kill time and have fun while doing so. The story is not incredibly deep but it's interesting enough. The gameplay is not 2023 AAA quality but it's decent enough. The endless interruptions with fast travel and loading (even for crossing doors and riding lifts! :-o ) are pretty low effort but they don't bother enough.

Pretty much all aspects of the game are good enough but never great. I'd probably give it a 6/10 but with a caveat that it's something I keep going back to.

This is the first time I'm actually playing a Bethesda game by the way. I tried Skyrim a few times and always found it extremely boring and clunky. I tried Fallout 76 and it was the same. This is the 3rd of their games I'm trying to play and so far it's been going ... quite ok! And I'm glad I'm playing it, it's fun despite its (many) shortcomings!
I'd be very surprised if it would be considering YouTube already has music where they already pays the copyright holder for. My guess is YouTube music is focused UI on an already offered service and separating it out will likely not make it cheaper, or if it does, it won't be a big difference.
This is the right response that's all too often missing from these threads.

If you want "free-market" you should deal with its basic premise that consumer pays as little as they can and seller tries to milk the consumer as much as they can. That's quite literally how it's supposed to work.

I'm very much in favor of bringing some morality to the economic system, but it shouldn't be one sided.

> By this do you mean a mouse and keyboard? And you consider this to be cheating?

Yep! The way they tried to get around this was by allowing you to only play with people using the same type of controller, but you can mod your keyboard to look like a controller and get in regardless. It is a HUGE advantage for those game modes. I played pretty competitive Halo 3 for several years, including a couple tournaments, and on a controller I get completely steamrolled by a decent player with an M&K. There are other games with other examples but the ability to point and click vs using your thumb to make similar micro-movements on a thumbstick is just night and day. Apex Legends had similar issues where particular movements aren't even possible on a keyboard! If you have to register with a controller I think that could solve a lot of these issues for gamers.

I do understand what you're saying about madcatz though, and appreciate that controllers are expensive. What I'd really like is to introduce this limit to official controllers and then slowly allow third-party companies to offer official alternatives. Or, even better, only have this restriction for online gaming. I don't care what people do offline!

Zeihan's synthesis view of geopolitics is pretty interesting, but he does display glaring faults when he ventures beyond that niche, e.g. when he tries to summarise the economic systems of the world in his most recent book he says all of Europe is socialist, which is what I would consider a very basic American layman's take on economics, not really fitting for any kind of public intellectual in the social sciences. I try to look past it, though, since his demographics and culture-focused geopolitics analysis is still interesting to me.
It is an obviously wrong approach. There are plenty of intelligent people out there, this doesn't keep them from being occasionally wrong. If you have access to the opinion of people who devoted their whole lives to the field in question, why would you seek it from an influencer that perhaps gained fame from being an authority in a couple of non-related fields?
