You keep arguing as if I deleted Firefox because of this one issue. I'm not going to repeat myself any more.
a) Law suit culture does not exist here, but yes you can,
b) I'm truly speaking from experience... and a lot of people had that experience. You get a random useless letter from random useless agency that is making money from not lawsuits, but agreements from people who don't know they don't have to pay. It's a legalised scam kinda. Got a letter that you downloaded something sometime? Ignore. They want like 300-500eur to settle (it's not in court!). And they will not take it to court, because they instantly lose (and cover my costs of my lawyer) - they cannot actually prove *indeed you person* shared it, done. It's a business model of some shady (but legal) legal offices.

Couple of edits after reading the OPs comment again:
- most of the countries in Europe do not have precedence law,
- you do not NEED to hire a lawyer, most things are easy.
I think they are simply saying they’d rather not have the platform at all than pay for it.

Which is fair.

That's an interesting use case. Thanks for sharing. I think I understand your point better after reading this. I agree that having to pay xx$ indefinitely for presumably many end users who will only fill up the form once (or very rarely) doesn't make sense. We don't have a solution to this just yet, but I have a couple of ideas on how to tackle this.

PS. CRUDy sounds like a fun and quite literal name for an app builder!
The problem is the vast amount of pollution that those ships generate. In theory this alternative would provide the same service with far less ecological impact. Actually getting modern nuclear reactors to perform as expected has resulted in complications.
I'm sorry but you've lost this argument the moment you advanced the claim that there are largely solved problems in the context of computer security.
All the implications, from UI/UX to programming in general.

SecureBoot and UEFI is a regular pain in my ass. Just yesterday I couldn't run memtest86+ on a new computer because of it. I'm installing a bunch of Linux VMs these days and both on the real hardware and in the VM images UEFI and SecureBoot is a constant source of stress.

And it doesn't even work? Because the firmware authors used crappy code to display marketing images?

RuTracker is the way to go if you're not keen on playing the private tracker game. Good selection and well seeded, especially for content that doesn't tend to have good retention on other public trackers (e.g. FLACs, high bitrate encodes/remuxes etc.)
You need a basic understanding of how components such as diodes, transistors and op-amps function. From there you can gain insight into the signal path and begin to work your way through the circuits.

Next up, tools. A must have tool is an oscilloscope to debug AC circuits as it enables you to visualize the signal. Buy one, and learn how to use it - you don't need anything fancy for audio work. A signal generator might be helpful to enable you to generate reference or test signals but is not necessary. You can buy scopes with signal generators built in. I'd also recommend an LCR meter to measure the values of inductors and capacitors though most multi-meters have a capacitor test function (though usually limited vs a real LCR.) Its also handy to have a little bench top amp/speaker combo or a set of computer speakers for testing. Do not use headphones for testing as erratic signals and/or connections can create LOUD transients that can cause hearing damage.

I'd start with the basics as you do - check supply voltages and look for bad solder joints. If the basics check out then you need to break out the scope and start tracing the signal path. Start by probing at the signal source to make sure you do have an incoming signal and then work your way through the circuit to the output. This is where it helps to understand the basics of electronics. A schematic of the circuit you are debugging is very helpful as attempting to follow traces on a board is not fun and error prone.

I think I've seen arguments from the same person before.

The key assumption here is a 2% annual increase in world energy demand. No shit sherlock, after 1000 years numbers are huge. Funny thing is he only criticises renewables this way, but if we make the same calculation for any any energy source we pretty much come to the same conclusion. Maybe the person has an agenda?
I do the same, but over 30 years instead of 3 months. I turn 36 this weekend. It's not going well.
> I believe (static) type systems are a matter of preference, and another camp thinks otherwise.

It's funny, when I led high reliability teams at a Big Tech, I wanted static strict typing everywhere done yesterday. Every production problem of ours was related to small, subtle issues. Upgrading the runtime leading to JSON key reordering breaking some ancient client that was hand-unrolling JSON. Some library deep within our stack started returning HTTP codes as ints and not strings which broke some error parsing of ours. And every outage was a big deal as the scale we operated at meant that if even a small percentage of customers were affected, we'd have hundreds of problem reports.

Now that I'm working at a tiny startup things couldn't be more different. We chose to go with a static language because that's where the mindshare seems to be, but I am missing working in a dynamic language. Because of the speed with which we're shipping our code quality is really bad. In the interests of time, instead of dealing with the type system and refactoring things cleanly, we'll just make multiple copies of the same object structure with small differences and use them all over the place. We copy/paste the same logic in 10 different places instead of isolating the functionality and referring to it in different places, because the shapes of types make things a bit tricky to make generic.

I find that different problem spaces lend themselves to different solutions. Are you getting paged in the middle of the night for subtle bugs? Then strict static typing is probably for you. Are you iterating quickly and can problems be solved by someone sending you an email or Slack? Dynamic typing is probably better. The trick is to not accumulate too much debt in the dynamic paradigm in case you see growth to port things over to a static paradigm.

> I've seen numerous attempts to re-implement the same thing repeatedly in your favorite language just because you don't want to touch "a library written in That Other Filthy language because it is slow/insecure/not-flexible/you-name-it". This was/is very frequent in Common Lisp but also in the Rust communities.

I think languages with lots of enthusiasts just end up with these attitudes unfortunately.
I like the idea of using Websockets for IoT devices if you just need a simple communication mechanism.

I wouldn't do it at scale. Message brokers are battle-hardened for messages at scale, have multiple communication styles, especially pub/sub. They are built for messages at scale.

My interest in Websockets is the same as yours — fewer components (no MQTT server). Works well for a simple message flow and I'm ok with reenventing pub/sub for a small number of devices.
AFAIK, while supporting XBOOTLDR, the systemd project still encourages /boot to be on the ESP if possible.

Personally, I don't understand why they advocate this. Beyond separation of concerns and situations like this, it also seems more realistic to advocate for XBOOTLDR style deployments in the face of dual boot systems and Windows creating an anemic ESP nowadays.

Sure! More than a few people will go in asking for extra wasabi because it is 'good for their memory'. Ethical restaurants will have to explain that a majority of wasabi (at least in the US) is actually horseradish. I have little doubt they will be happy with that answer ("you're scamming us!")
Do you know how visa questionnaires ask things like "Have you ever attempted or been a part of a movement to otherthrow a government?" etc.? And how people would say "How stupid is this? You just lie. What's so hard?"

The point with many of these questions is so that they can detain you on suspicion of being dishonest on your visa questionnaire, and then investigate more thoroughly.

You also have (if a non-citizen) extremely few, if any rights at points of entry. A lot of laws around searching of persons and devices are if not void, substantially loosened.

So you may lie. You should probably also hope that somewhere in your photos there's not a picture of a magic mushroom you saw last year while walking your dog...
I thought Gemini was supposed to be a "massive leap" over GPT-4, and yet even in these benchmarks (unevenly employed) it just barely outperformed a specific model of GPT-4.

Google is the one that boasted in saying that.

By the time it's actually available to the public, OpenAI may be rolling out their next model.

But it does seem like Google is catching up faster than anyone else.
Edit: I wonder if there's a caching thing going on. I am having wildly different performance depending on what number I put in. Does criterium affect this by isolating something?

I read a little more about this before you replied, but it seems like we're doing something different or there's a JVM difference that is bigger than expected.

- The clojure function takes me less than a second.

- (reduce + (long-array 100000000)) also takes less than a second.

- From what I understand, the compiler may have a special rule around using reduce and + that uses unboxed numbers by default

- Isn't it a big "if" that you might have a big array of primitive longs in Clojure? I can see how if you've already gone through a whole range of numbers and unboxed them then the java function would be fast. But it seems like it'd be easier to use + (again, this is running a lot faster on my machine for whatever reason).

I'm new to all of this so just being academic and trying to figure out what's going on
But their first efforts in BARD were really not great. I'd just have left the bragging out in terms of how long. OpenAI and others have no doubt sent a big wakeup call to google. For a while it seemed like they had turned to focus an AI "safety" (remembering some big blowups on those teams as well) with papers about how AI might develop negative stereotypes (ie, men commit more violent crime then women?). That seems to have changed - this is very product focused, and I asked it some questions that in many models are screened out for "safety" and it responded which is almost even more surprising (ie. Statistically who commits more violent crime, men or women).

How do you clean it? I'm no expert, but I'd turn off the water to the toilet then flush it till it's empty, then hit it with some mould spray. I'd look at the water tank too (which should now be empty) and give that a clean too. Read the instructions on the sprays cos you're meant to leave them for 5-10mins to do their work before you wash them off. Then turn your tap back on and see how you go.
Yup. There's lots of law already in existence that gets toward this, e.g. "title" and "possession."

With torrents, you always have possession, even without title.

With, e.g. Playstation, for a while "title" gave you "possession" (as it should) and then it didn't, breaking the whole thing.
I really hope AMD gains more ground on the software side.

I know they are "technically supported" by onyx/pytorch etc. But almost every project I've seen there's a bunch of asterisks, a bunch of people needing different work arounds, and subpar performance compared to the hardware.

Maybe it's because most people have their consumer cards? Nvidia however doesn't have this issue, people on pascal are only just now having compatibility issues with not supporting a high enough cuda version.

The dream is they release a 4090-type competitor for a few grand, it doesn't even need full 4090-level performance, just strap 48gb+ of HBM and it would be a absolutely incredible deal for individuals learning/researching -> who then use the full enterprise stuff for full training/commercial inference.
I’m Arima Jain, an 18-year-old iOS developer and graphics designer from India. My journey into iOS development began in 2021 when my brother, Aman Jain, Introduced me to iOS development and Angela Yu’s Udemy course. Winning the Apple WWDC Swift student challenge in 2022 fueled my interest, leading me to become an indie maker driven by my passion for technology and design. During the pandemic, we noticed the increased screen time for children, inspiring us to create the “Lil Artist” app.

We aimed to fill the educational gap in their screen activities, combining fun and learning for an enriching experience. As 2023 comes to an end, I reflect on a year of growth and chasing dreams, dedicating this article to sharing the milestones that made it unforgettable. It’s a testament to hard work, creativity, and the support of the Apple and Buildinpublic communities. Join me as I take you through my journey of accomplishments and personal growth.

Launching Lil Artist & FunKey iOS Apps: One of my major achievements this year was making and releasing two apps Lil Artist and FunKey on the iOS App Store. Developing and launching these apps was a project I deeply cared about, and I felt a great sense of pride when Lil Artist got featured on the App Store’s main page. This journey taught me the significance of working hard, staying determined, and pursuing your dreams.

Apple Entrepreneur Camp: Participating in the Apple Entrepreneur Camp was a turning point in my journey. It provided me with the tools, knowledge, and a network of like-minded individuals that enabled me to take my ideas to the next level. The experience was a testament to the power of mentorship and community.
Speaking at Apple on International Women’s Day: Being invited to speak at Apple for International Women’s Day was a moment of empowerment and inspiration. It highlighted the importance of women in the tech industry and the impact they can make. This experience motivated me to continue breaking barriers.
Media Recognition: I am humbled and grateful to have been featured in esteemed news outlets like News18, 9to5Mac, News9, and Telegram. It’s a reminder that hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed and that recognition is a reflection of the impact we create.

> This announcement does tell us w3c is a politically motivated org that disagrees with the new regime.

Yes, with the "Musk regime". He often likes to claim that he fights for freedom of speech, but even his authorized biography (from Isaacson) is pretty open about him not having a coherent concept of it, and after the acquisition he reinstated / banned accounts depending on his mood of the day. Musk doesn't like to bind himself by rules, but that turns out to be a pretty important thing for journalism.
Agree. If you carefully program something without tons of crap 3rd party libs in something like SolidJS im sure you could get it “native feeling” too

Thanks! So if the PDF contains images with text within the image, it will convert the images to text with OCR (so like images of pages from a book). We do have an "Area Select" tool that lets you capture any screenshot within a page as a note, and in the future we're thinking of using GPT-4 vision where you can use that tool to select an image and ask questions about that image. This would be a cool feature indeed but not sure if users would actually use that very much in practice.
I don't think there is - it's specifically designed to be a user frontend.

Although it should be possible to whip up a text-friendly view of a server you're not logged into assuming they allow non-authenticated access to the API.
No, because then you're dividing the resources allocated to the function among the existing run + the new run. If you over-allocate ahead of time to accommodate for this, you might as well just run ordinary VMs, which always have excess allocation locally; the core idea of scaling granularly is that you only allocate the resources you need for that single execution (paying a premium compared to a VM but less overall for spiky workloads since less overhead will be wasted).
>I wish every government would establish a national instance to deliver public announcements and create channels for easy and fast communication with their citizens.

nothing is stopping them, except the fact that (user facing) tech in govt. tends to be 20 years behind. There is some out of the way dropbox to write once the govt. does want feedback. But in general snail mail is the "recommeded" way to reach a representative if you can't participare in a physical forum.

On the rest of your comment, I wish RSS feeds didn't fall by the wayside. We don't need one big website hosting all those best people, and we see the results when that central point collapses. RSS feeds add a small bit of friction but you get almost all the benefits of centralization without its downsides. The main part missing was curation (AFAIK): have some place to categorize your site and its features (comments, post submissions, type of moderation, etc), have it be easily searchable and sortable by various metrics, and if you like the site you add it to your feed. Lots of custom sites still use stuff like Disqus so you may not even need a new account to make comments.
To some extent that's because conventional tech companies became Google.

Very interesting link, though I'm very disappointing it doesn't include speculation on when/where/how the bug was introduced to the phone. Also, I'm pretty surprised I hadn't come across the info that Wikileaks was bugged. Thanks for sharing.
If content creators leave YouTube for better platforms, and those platforms become even better as a consequence, I count that as a big win. I would love if platforms like Nebula would get a real chance at life. But nebula is only for educational content. I miss the comedy part of YouTube and would gladly pay the same I pay nebula for an extra "comedy tube" subscription of comparable content quality.
I think they're getting at the idea that it was demoed as a real time babelfish, where a conversation simple happened between two people wearing the devices. Instead it was a glorified spoken dropdown selector for choosing the language, and a press and hold mechanism that just tied into the existing phone app without any actual changes or upgrades to that already available translation mechanism. The thought was that you'd simply start talking to each other and hear the other in your language as you go - not speak a block all at once, stop, translate, play back from your phone to them, stop, let them speak a whole reply at once while the phone listens to them, stop, translate, hear their response in your earpiece. Which basically meant the device itself didn't bring much if anything to the table that couldn't be done with any other headphones and doing the language select and start/stop recording on the phone itself.

In Europe?

> It is true that there are relatively few countries that are not either militarily aligned or strongly in the geopolitical orbit of one or more of Russia, China, or the US, but...Serbia isn't in this category, either.

Actually, Serbia often gets criticized for playing a juggling game between EU, Russia, and China. As far as orbits go, for all its bravado about 'brotherly' Russia, it is actually mostly dependent on the EU
