That's still no different from the content creator's point of view than a non-sale or pirate. The practical limitations of libraries is immaterial to the fact I can view content without paying the creator anything. Carving out some logical exception for content pirates is ludicrous.

Sooner or later you'd have to convert those money in activities and if you accumulate and accumulate and postpone the conversion until end of life you'd find that the only activities availible are surgeries and experimental medical treatments.

I love firefox but i don't have as much faith in mozilla as an org. IMHO, they should consider firefox a loss leader (despite search engine deals) and focus on unrelated projects that make money and attract users due to the firefox brand.

Or...hear me out: Firefox gets into the adblocker business and lets the big boys paya fortune to be exempted by default. This includes using ML to block ads (i have ideas on how to implement unblockable ads using traditional means).

I really wish they would invest more in servo. Imagine a memory safe browser!

But beyond all that, EU and US govs mandating it as the only default browser would be huge for mozilla.

They're catching up now in some areas like GPOs but mozilla has nothing on chrome enterprise.

They don't realize that corporate types are eager to spend money or random shit so long as b2b marketing is done right (makes the buyer look good internally). And I cna sort of see the conflict because they are pro-privacy and chrome enterprise is very much about giving security/system admins control. For example, if a user clicks through a failing https warning or downloads a file despite safe browing (phishing/malware) warning you would know. So long as you make sure it is only sold to enterprise and gov customers, giving them such insights (and much more, even browsing history) can be a good money maker, help dominate the market share and maintain moral leadership (don't do personal stuff at work or shit where you eat).

You can't possibly think that all Firefox and Ubuntu users sit around for 4 minutes waiting for their browser to open. It's clearly something specific to your setup.

If you want to report this issue I suggest first trying a fresh install of another OS on the same device just to ensure it's not hw. And of course the standard troubleshooting is to start Firefox in troubleshooting mode, that runs it without any plugins enabled.

It also invokes politics, economics, and all that implements some form of notional value, because as some other philosopher quipped, what gets measured gets treasured.
You postulate that I said that, which is wrong.

> IT shouldn't be a default, but if it's that or nothing-- as it often is when it comes down to limited resources-- I think it's better than nothing.

Sometimes it is. Sometimes it's not. It's certainly an option that's very efficient for dev resources, which is often the primary limiting factor. It's certainly the only real option if you've already got a team of web developers, which is very common.

The current state of commercial software supporting linux with native apps is a pretty good indicator of how companies are viewing this equation. The amount of resources it takes to make a native java app is vastly different than the amount of resources it takes to make a native electron app. If you don't understand how that would be something that would open the possibility of supporting linux in many cases, I'm not sure what to tell you.
People want the wrong things damnit! They should want to be in a bus or on a scooter so that everything can be easier to plan. Instead they want to be happy, safe, and comfortable!

That's all you need. Tour go, and go by example.

Go is far from java. There aren't 10 ways to do things, it's not object oriented, and things like build tools, dependency management, formating, and tests are all baked into the core.

It's a relatively simple language that uses structs and relies heavily on the adapter pattern and composition. You should have no problem learning it quickly. Most go projects will look the same, have similar structure, and all will use the same formatting required by the compiler.

Who said anything about where I think this AI would be developed?

US is possible. So is China. So is Europe. Not necessarily in that order. Japan might have an outside chance if certain things line up a certain way.

If Europe and the US make AI research overly cumbersome, I’m sure there are plenty of countries that will offer sweetheart deals to the best teams looking for a new home.

I debugged it by running it with strace, seeing what it was waiting for and googling it. Uninstalling some package solved it.

I've had this problem on an Arch machine after no use and no update for a long time. Thunderbird was affected as well, and both unfreezed at the exact same moment a few minutes after launching the first one.

I never had time to investigate this but this was obviously a system problem, Firefox and Thunderbird are fast on all the other machines I use.
> If you disagree I'd appreciate if you could tell us your credit card information.

I'm not talking about being obliged to share. Of course people should have the right to not share their credit details. My point is that if you receive information from someone, then choosing to share it with a third party is not stealing.

Actually, an obligation to share information is a restriction on freedom just like copyright, which can prohibit sharing information.
There's no guarantee that all the older apps from the Windows 9x/XP days will work today, as some apps back then, especially games, made use of non-public/undocumented APIs or just straight up hacked the OS with various hooks for the sake of performance optimizations. Those are the apps guarantee not to work today even if you turn on compatibility mode.

Like a lot of products I think part of it's appeal is a feeling of security which doesn't necessarily equal practical security, in the same way a 4x4 might appeal to someone wanting to feel "rugged" even if it never leaves asphalt.

I have a hard time believing that just pulling publicly available web data would instill a professed identity of an openAI creation, rather than a gen-x hipster or zoomer, or whatever. Seems so much more likely they trained predominately on gpt-3.5 output on the sly. And I’m not even sure that would do it — how often does open chatGPT identify openAI in normal responses? And OpenAI instills that sense of identity with fine tuning with synthetic data.
Slow cold starts on Ubuntu are a known issue with Canonical's Snap application format, as acknowledged in official blog posts like https://ubuntu.com/blog/improving-firefox-snap-performance-p...

If you can install a Flatpak or .deb package of Firefox, you should regain that performance. Found a post recommending a "Mozilla Team" PPA at https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2022/04/install-firefox..., but I last used Ubuntu 15 years ago, so I can't speak to the specific recommendations therein.
I wouldn't mind it so much if the controllers were a third of the price they currently charge, although getting a new controller all the time still means a lot of unnecessary trash and more of my time spent cracking open each replacement to pull out the microphones.
Not the centuries specifically, more the fact that the whole region has always been, and still is, a melting pot of people from all surrounding regions.

A lot of the older generation are trying to emphasize our differences and even make wild claims that I won't repeat here. Those borders were drawn by people who are very similar.
No, that's their intent.

A lot of the LLMs have trouble with variations on typical logic puzzles.

If you change an aspect, they will still regress to autocompleting the standard solution.

In some cases, you can still get them to solve the variation, but it often takes finessing to break the token patterns (things like replacing the nouns with emojis or instructing that it repeat the variation parts when thinking through the solution in a CoT).

The solution for the above should be the minimum number of trips (three) taking two at a time to the other side, no extra stuff.
> If that's not stable, I don't know what is.

What is? An immense amount of resources (developers) poured into developing live patches to make applications work on each newer version of Windows (or helping the application developers fix their applications). It's an interesting conceptual grey area - I don't consider it backward compatibility in a strict sense.

This is documented in the book "The old new thing" by Raymond Chen (it's possible also to read the blog, but the book gives an organic view).

It's fascinating how far-sighted Microsoft was; this approach, clearly very expensive, has been fundamental in making Windows the dominant O/S (for desktop computers).
Shouldn't this be qualified with "argparse-based"?

Argparse is good for simple stuff but there are many Click based CLI's and a lot of popular CLI libraries build on top of Click. There are also other Python CLI tools that aren't built on argparse or Click, though I will say that these two are probably the most popular ones.

Is this confirmed to work with Click? I only see references to argparse. I would go so far to say, if the answer is no, that "almost any" is a flat out lie, and a much more accurate title would be "Turn almost any argparse-based Python command line program into a full GUI application".

Also, the last substantial commit was over two years ago. This isn't itself a bad thing, but given the open issue count does not really signal confidence in the project.

Otherwise it is a cool project. I would like to see more of this - it's one of those neat force multipliers, as referenced in the README, that some enterprising person could implement as a CLI and then share their automation for the rest of the nontechnical office in an easy way. Kind of like how Access did the same thing for DB's. Like Access, you would butt up against limitations once you started to introduce some level of size or complexity, but it could be "good enough" for a lot of small office use cases.

You know the Apple's famous ad:

"Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."

Musk fits that perfectly. With all his faults, he has some answers(some good, some not so) but more importantly he has risen some questions and this particular vehicle is a question on design.

The world is changing, mostly for the worse and its time to ask questions so we can have answer on how to have a new normal that is better than the one before everything started crumbling.
Great article. This guy sounds like a pretty neat dude ("a part-time autodidact handyman").

Sadly, this guy does not sound like any handyman that I've known, but then, I have not known any handymen with a theology degree.

> No, it doesn't. There are file arguments to journalctl. Read the manpage, sheesh.

... And how are you going to produce the journal file to read? ... with systemd. If you broke the system and it won't boot, you'll need to boot from systemd and check with journalctl because the journal can't be accessed otherwise. That usually requires a liveUSB running systemd to pull off. This is why you don't use binary logs.

Compared to `less /var/log/messages` from any Linux, I know which one I'm trusting.

It's important to remember that Microsoft has been making PC input devices and gaming peripherals (and decent ones at that) all the way back since the '90s.

Microsoft gets a lot of well deserved flack, but their peripherals were almost always top notch, in line with Logitech or even better. Remember their ergonomic split keyboards form the '90s?

Maybe some of that UX design heritage rubbed off to the X-box as well.

Yes

That’s not how people get radicalised. Students are taught in Gaza that the Jews stole their land, that Jews are from Europe, that dying as a martyr is the best death and that when they grow up they should kill as many Jews as possible. Many of Hamas’ fighters are only 15 or 16 years old.

I can’t speak for controllers, but for wireless mice I’ve read that many issues are due to the very low voltages that they run at to extend battery life - the low voltage means that buttons + etc become much more susceptible to dirt and oxidization.
Hey! stop handing out your red pill.
I agree that saying “Microsoft did it already” is a silly response to something that is just a positive to gaming. But your example of Nintendo doesn’t really mean anything when Nintendo didn’t put a lot of effort in supporting disabled people the last generations.

I applaud Nintendo for doing this for the NES, but where are they today?
Your reply is well thought out. The fact is that Ukraine was being turned against Russia. This was unacceptable to them and considered an existential risk, whether by direct or indirect force, by military or political/cultural subversion. This is evidenced by the huge risk and sacrifices that Russia has accepted with this course of action. They warned that this would happen as a consequence, for many years.

It's essentially the same in the US.

If there is a large risk when work is low quality, there is regulation. The more possible danger, the more regulation. This is OK.

But an argument for regulation that is just some hand waving and repeating "standards" is not a legitimate position. It is an attempt to build some little bureaucratic empire which will enrich a group via regulatory capture.

The government wins as they now have more employees and more power and the people already in the trade win. Everyone else loses.
CursusDB – Distributed document oriented DBMS with an SQL like query language
CursusDB is a highly performant, secure-by-default, in-memory, distributed document oriented database with an SQL like query language written in pure GO. The idea behind CursusDB was to create something unlimitedly scalable whilst never really slowing down. Say you have 10 million documents stored on 100 nodes the cluster will query 1 billion documents in the time it takes to query 10 million. This is the power of parallel search. The Cursus system is searching say in the users collection in multiple sections of the collection simultaneously.
That’s sort of true in the US, as well. A plumber or electrician is licensed, but handymen aren’t, as far as I know.

EVs these days have a lot more battery capacity than many people need.

Like, if my car is 50% depleted I can still use it for 3-4 days for anything I’d need to do.

Main point for me if the power goes out would be to keep the refrigerator and freezer going. Those will be fine if I go on a quick trip. Family will be fine too. We have flash lights. Seriously, I dot understand why you’d think that would be such a bad scenario?

Many people live in areas that aren’t all that car dependent anyway. I can just walk to the grocery or hardware store.

The size of modern EV batteries are so big that many people will likely see their batteries degrade due to age rather than charging cycles. I go through like 1-2 cycles a week, and those are 20-80% cycles of slow charging, so very gentle on the battery.

I would love to get some extra value out of that battery with V2H or V2G. I really don’t think it’ll shorten the life of the car significantly.

It’s possible that many early generation EVs need one battery replacement in their lifetime regardless. Isn’t it then better to have had some of that cost covered by making some money from V2G?

Change of dead zone. Modern controllers have smaller dead zones and more accurate sticks. So when they start breaking down they pickup more phantom movements. Switch joycons are more likely because of the size of the stick (need less dead zone because size).
Having briefly worked on the xbox 360 accessories team, I honestly think it is just because the people there really care.

From what I (indirectly) understand, the Microsoft accessories team (keyboards, mice, etc) has been dismantled and reformed a number of times.

The XB1 controller is an extra odd situation, the team who was the Xbox 360 accessories team made the initial XB1 controller, and then that team became the Microsoft Band team, and an entire different team took over console controllers.
