I think if the price of software drops, then there’s a huge opportunity for smaller companies to build better products for cheaper and steal market share. So more people building software.

This also means larger companies will need to build more to defend their share of the market. Meaning more people building software.
I don't know the author's code but mine was at the same level as home assistant's. I believe I was using Bluer (BlueZ) [1] and afaik the problem is that the dependency needs an armv7 version of DBUS when it compiles which my non-armv7 laptop did not provide.

If I do the home assistant route and just copy my source code over to the raspi and build the binary there it all compiles+runs fine. Except for the part where I can't compile it locally and so I don't know of a build issue until its been transferred + built.

That’s also what I thought before trying to play with those shaders. But in fact, look at this :

Yeah I agree that's the core issue. I'd only "trust" them because I don't see how promising E2E and then breaking it on a widescale would be profitable for them

> but the Lisbon Treaty effectively enshrined it in EU law

Actually no, ECHR rulings and the ECHR itself are considered guiding principles when the ECJ decides related questions but the EU is not technically bound by the ECHR

This is made moot by the fact that the EU doesn't have independent enforcement so all EU law is enforced by the member states and all member states are members of the CoE and the ECHR has already ruled that a member state can't violate the ECHR and justify itself by saying they were following EU law

But the comment above could also be referring to the EU charter of fundamental right which is binding on EU institutions and EU member states (when they're implementing/enforcing EU law), article 8 of the charter is about the protection of personal data so you can read the original comment both ways.

Either they said EU instead of European and were talking about the ECHR's "Right to respect for private and family life, home and correspondence" or they said convention of human rights instead of "charter on fundamental rights" and were referring to the EU's "Protection of personal data"

Fun
Sometimes their perspectives could be more accurate as they don't have the same biases. Or maybe its better to say understanding and including their perspectives contributes to a more accurate understanding.
A lot of these concepts lack specification on the requirements that must be met for them to occur. If people feel a common responsibility for something, the concept does not apply at all or only to a lesser degree. Our fundamental economic beliefs about growth still reflect this, even with rescue arguments about growth in productivity and efficiency (which rarely apply to any natural resource). In essence the peasants of yesterday are the B.A. of today.

However, there is also the comedy of the commons and the tragedy of the anticommons for that matter. Open source for example doesn't suffer from the tragedy of the commons as much as it is suffering from the tragedy of the anticommons.
Sorry for the confusion, I'm not a native speaker (although I live in UK). I meant that the parliament can ask the commission to present a specific law for discussion.

Of course the parliament doesn't need to ask the commission to drop a law, it can simply vote against it.

Nothing in the ISA precludes this. It's all about the software stack, and what the compilers do. All you need to do is assign another register the role of data stack pointer and define the ABI to use it.

Even the stack pointer is just a convention in RISC V

> The US owes ~$260,000 per taxpayer

The word ‘taxpayer’ refers to a different set of humans than the word ‘people’ does. Not all people are taxpayers. The point of breaking down taxes into a per-person metric is to understand how much each person will need to pay in net taxes in order to retire the debt. Why would you include people who are not net taxpayers?

"Modern engineering methods are just too different to just recreate a Saturn V without effectively redesigning it from scratch, at which point it might as well be a much more capable vehicle like Starship."

I'm all for it, and root for SpaceX and Musk to make it happen.

What I'm saying all this time on this thread is following:

"Man never went to the Moon before. Artemis will hopefully be the first. If man has been to the Moon multiple times using the same aging technology over 50 years ago, then it shouldn't be an issue to go there now. In fact, it should be much easier and cheaper, as the computers are 1000x more powerful nowadays, and we still have fuel/energy sources that were used then."

Thank you for the discussion.
Contrary to what this heading suggests, nothing has been "decided" here.
This article is not only inaccurate, it is falsely misleading.

The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) adopted a "draft Parliament position" [0] and that's that.

This still needs to go through so-called "tri(a?)logue negotiations", held between the EU parliament, commission and council. [1]

Still a tad early for calling this a win!

The metaphor in the post says that, if you have a continuous function and you want to restrict its value to within a very small range, you "pay" for that by restricting the value of the independent variable to a suitably small range. That such a "payment" is possible [phrased another way, that this payment will have the effect you want] is what it means for the function to be continuous.
Nope, works here on FF.

If you are faster and more productive that way, do it that way.

Most people are not geniuses and polymaths, it's much easier and cheaper for me to design the architecture and ask ChatGPT to generate the code in many different languages(Swift/HTML/JS/CSS on the client side and Py, JS, PHP on the server side). It's easier because although I'm proficient an all these it's very hard for me to switch solving client specific JS problems to server specific JS problems or between graphics and animation related problems and data processing problems with Swift. It's also cheaper because I don't have to pay someone to do it for me.

In my case, I know all that well enough to spot a problem and debug, I just don't want to go through the trouble of actually writing it.
The cost of electricity for running a single RTX 4090 a year: $800 (calculation below). Cost to the company of the median developer: $200,000.

Assume a 20 cent cost of 1 kWh, then a RTX 4090 with a 450W power draw for a year costs:
0.45 * 24 * 365 * 0.20 = $788.4

Don't. Just don't.

While Alma and Rocky promise the moon of 10 years of support and unreproachable governance, they are slow and inconsistent about releasing security fixes while CentOS 9 Stream releases them fast. Neither has the professionalism, track record, or deep benches of engineering teams to sustain themselves in the long term. I suspect neither Alma nor Rocky will survive 10 years.
I mean it's a bit of a weird hypothetical situation to discuss but first of all, if I didn't have to work, probably I would be in a financial pickle, unless the prediction includes UBI of some sort. Secondly, most of my side projects that I would like to create are about doing something that this AI would then also be able to do, so it seems like there is nothing left..
I'm sure that NASA has all the blueprints filed away somewhere, but the reason we don't have a Saturn V factory running today is not because NASA forgot how to make them. Instead, it's because of cost. Between the Apollo 13 disaster, the Vietnam War, and maybe some other factors, public interest and approval of continued Moon exploration wanted, and Congress revoked the planned funding for Apollo 18 through 20, opting instead to focus on programs like the Space Shuttle.

Interestingly enough, the leftover Saturn V hardware was put to good use by launching Skylab missions and the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, both of which turned out to be valuable steps in the US space program. So as much as it pains me to say, it may have been a good thing that the last three moon missions were canceled.
If you want to build spaceships to fly around the solar system, being light still matters a lot and inflatable modules are a great idea.

That’s because your constraint is delta-V which is expressed in terms of the mass you are moving around. More mass requires more propellant and energy… which means more mass requires more mass.

Right but that's not the only use case for `cargo install`. You can also use it to install binaries system wide from cloned repositories (`cargo install --path .`). I use this often for small utilities (for which I have no intention of publishing to crates.io) or when testing before packaging for Arch.
> why you could't use Tailwind for example

To have even more HTML soup? No thanks. Luckily I live in a world of better DX. With styled-components my CSS primitives are typechecked. Hell even with SCSS and CSS modules I have more sane and IDE supported experience.
I'm surprised to see experimentation being dismissed so readily.
The Saturn V rockets were very risky, NASA got extremely lucky with them the first time but no longer have the same tolerance for risk. Even if they still had Saturn V rockets ready to fly today in their inventory, it would not be an acceptable option today.

> I suppose nexus firewall let log4j pass.

It should be reasonable to assume that a product dedicated to something will, on average, do this job better/faster than a random developer, though. Since that's their job.

So Nexus Firewall presumably blocks these vulnerabilities faster than the average app/system developer notices them. There's value in reducing the delta between the vulnerability exploit day and an entire ecosystem being patched/fixed.
We used to use refurbed Thinkpad X220s for all engineers in the business - cheap, widely available, capable enough and with a docking station to use as a desktop. They'd take 16GB of RAM, though the official spec said the maximum was 8GB.

We moved onto L390 Yogas afterwards, which takes up to 32GB of RAM - I've been very happy with mine.

Both have been pretty solid for me, though I think the X220 probably had a lot more rough treatment overall.
> In contrast to the original chat control proposal, the version of the EU Parliament wants that a new EU Child Protection Centre proactively searches publicly accessible parts of the internet for child sexual abuse material with automatic crawling, which can also take place in darknet and would be much more efficient than private surveillance measures by providers. Found abuse material must be reported and taken down by the provider.

This is a good start, if it is sufficiently well-funded and appropriately staffed.

I hope that they crawl much more than the public "clearnet" and "darknet", since a lot of media is shared inside the various walled gardens that make up the internet here in the '20s.
If you already have done the work of defining a bunch of SQLAlchemy models, using D2 would be a lot more time consuming.
That is likely true, though there is still extensive lobbying going on in the EU and within EU countries. It is just done in a different way, with different mechanics.

I responded in a sibling comment because it came first.
The debate here is wether openai's product, chatgpt, can indeed deliver what it claims - coding, saving dogs' lives, mental health counceling, and so on. It would appear that it doesn't but it does mislead people without experience in whatever field they use it. For instance if i ask it about law i am impressed, but when I ask it about coding of software engineering it blatantly fails. The conclusion being that as a procedural text generator it is impressive - it nails language - but the value of the output is far from settled.

This debate is important because as technical people it is our reposnbility to inform non technical people about the use of this technology and to bring awareness about potential misleading claims its seller makes - as it was the case with crypto currencies, and many other technologies that promised the world delivered nothing of real benefit (but made people rich in the process by exploting the uniformed).

> In the past, I used PARnet to connect two Amiga computers via the parallel port.

That is very cool! Not Amiga but Linux: back when I was still on dialup my 486 desktop PC had a PLIP (Parallel Line IP) connection to my crappy laptop and so my brother and I could both be using the Internet at the same time. The laptop was so old and underpowered that it'd just be running a X11 server and the 486 desktop would be running the graphical session (including the browser) shown on the laptop.

IIRC the cable was just a regular parallel cable (the same kind we'd be using back then for printers).

It also felt like magic back then: one computer running two browsers, with one displayed locally and the other remotely over a parallel cable... All the while monopolizing mom's landline for the dial-up connection!
Fully agree on the liberal-democratic approach. Hell, if you extent, just to pick a really controversial topic, adoption and full marriage rights to gay couples, rights I have myself, you are not taking anything away from me.

The important difference is so between calling a group priviledged and a geoup being priviledged. And men held power for most of human history, white men in particular since European colonialism became a thing. Women' right to vote is a fairly recent thing, the 1970s in Switzerland for example. Or bot requiring the husbands approval to take a job in Germany. The list goes on and on. White men habe been, and still are but less so, priviledged. Some men have a problem with loosing some of those priviledges so, a sentiment easily abused by demagogoes and populists (I put Musk in the latter group, more of an industrial / capitalist populist but a populist none the less).

In a sense the youngen falling into right wing extremism and islamistic extrimism have a lot in common, more than either of those groups like. But we digress, I think.

Regarding Starship, good for them to launch again. Good on the FAA to insist on high standards. Now we'll see how the launch on Friday goes.
If that was just intended to forecast costs, then it’s a good analogy. But I thought SpaceX went further than that. This Adam Something video provides some amusing coverage of the idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQUiIdre-MI

I suppose I could manually traverse my whole dependency tree myself and install all those packages myself. Set up cmake and pkg-config for all of them. If anyone else wants to try out my software, they’d have to manually look up all the dependencies in my github (?) and install those too. And hope the versions all line up nicely - which is a big if during development. Maybe I could script all of that dependency tracing - if only there were some standard software to do that. Guess not.

If C/C++ is all you know, you’re used to how painful all of that is. But what you’re proposing is a significantly worse experience in every way compared to what I can do with cargo or npm today. None of the claimed benefits seem remotely worth the cost of wading back into C dependency management hell. And cargo and npm show just how unnecessary all that pain is in C!

Just make good tooling. We can have nice things. I stopped using C not because I decided to write assembler. I stopped when better languages came along. You want me to stop using cargo? Nobody wants to go back to manual dependency management. Make something better.

It is notable that all models seem to have the new section about ordering for resale being banned, but none that share the reported 1-year limitation on resale for the cybertruck.

Supposedly this is a new section titled "For Cybertruck Only" [0] but when I play around with the URL I find the preorder agreement for the cybertruck, and the other models don't seem to have the cybertruck-only section.

There's a gulf of difference between domains where self-play means we have unlimited training data for free (e.g. Chess) versus domains where there's no known way to generate more training data (e.g. Fine art). It's possible that the latter domains will see unpredictable innovations that allow it to generate more training data beyond what humans have produced, but that's an open question.
Everyone is focusing on Nexus Firewall. Nexus/Artifactory themselves are private repos/proxies/caches that are in widespread use in the Java world so up to a point most companies prune their own repos.

This is NOT standard practice in the JS/Python/PHP/whatever world because these products do not exist or are not widely available, everyone "drinks" directly from the open internet source.

Yes, again, solutions exist, technically, but how many companies do you know, especially smaller ones, that do this?

For Java almost every company bigger than 5 devs tends to set up their own Maven repo at some point, many do it on day 1 because at least 1 dev is familiar with this practice from their former BigCo and it's easy to set up Nexus/Artifactory.
I take it that the person buying it will be less likely to want it.

> I think you're imagining the ID thief going to the bank and withdrawing your money from your bank account (which probably happens too).

No, I'm imagining a scenario where the things used to identify me to service providers is taken by someone.

> I also think your analogy of a "friend" isn't right...

I didn't mention a friend.

> you are the bank's PAYING customer... you pay them to secure your money and only give it to you!

I agree, but as per my analogy, the car's owner has had their car stolen.

> If they fail to provide the service they're offering to you... seems like they ought to be responsible for their failure.

As per my analogy, I'm not saying that the car shouldn't have been secured, nor that the storage provider shouldn't make the situation right via insurance etc. Only that the car owner is the one who is a victim of car theft.

> You aren't really involved... the bank messed up by going "Oh you say you're Bob? Okay here you go!" Why is it your fault that they failed to accurately verify the identity of the person they gave THEIR money to? You didn't play any role in them deciding who to give their money, nor in their ID verification procedures.

The bank being at fault doesn't mean the victim's identity wasn't stolen.

All of these objections seem to assume that if someone has something stolen, it was their fault. That's not true, and that assertion is what I'm objecting to.
Based on TFA it reads like they used them for SEO by filing illegitimate notices against higher-ranking competitors.

Good god kill it with fire. If lambdas have so many subtleties they're more trouble than they're worth.

You know what improves readability? Writing a function and giving it an explicit suffix like _callback or _filter_condition or _ordering.
