> but Google also has the moral right to do everything possible with their code to make it as hard as possible for you to skip ads on their videos

So, like use an entirely different part of the company like Chrome to push for WEI to make adblockers not run?

Or maybe use chrome to push for manifest v3?

Maybe the __moral right to do everything possible__ isn't actually moral when it's using its leverage in a separate market to protect another one of its assets. Maybe we should see this as something to anti-trust them?
> very... different... idea of what "optimal" looks like.

That's fundamentally the problem; these guys don't really want to build a living breathing vibrant and holistic city, they want to build a giant luxury lifeboat that could, ideally, fly. Left to actually execute with the technology that exists what they inevitably construct is a giant tumor that just sucks the life out of the surroundings. If they could make it nuclear powered and able to literally condense drinking water from the air so they genuinely didn't have to transact with society at all you better believe they'd do exactly that.

Ironically enough, if they genuinely could make their little city fly into space probably the best thing we could all do is hurry them along. There won't be a shortage of well-motivated smart people left behind. They'll just be the nice ones.

The funny thing about these people is that they're so out of touch and detached that you could literally meme them into naming it Galt's Gulch and they would absolutely do it thinking how cleverly ironic it was, while just not getting it at all.
I guess I'm doing overkill then. I actually use Keycloak for Tailscale. It also serves as authentication for my Nextcloud and Mastodon instances, so maybe slightly less overkill.

It reads like that. It should be a reformation of anti-trust legislation to force the company to split up.

Very predictable and unsurprising. Stability knew they needed a license for training on Getty's copyrighted images given the presence of their watermark. OpenAI partnered with Shutterstock for that case with DALL-E to avoid this legal headache.

The fair use excuses here are absolutely weak in Stability's case and this will only end with a licensing deal being made.
I don't consume Russian media, just a lot of a certain message board that rhymes with toll. So maybe don't take my word as gospel, but here goes.

I think the casus belli is to free the people in Donetsk and Luhansk. It gets a bit wild from here, claiming that Ukrainians were Nazis oppressing the Russians in those two regions. So it is sold as a de-Nazification/liberation campaign. From what I have read on different telegram chats, Russian infantry expected to be welcomed with open arms. I wish I could cite sources, but I am quite certain Putin himself stated the objective of de-Nazification.
A very lazy reply.

Look at access to the cystic fibrosis therapies ($300,000 per year). The US (including Medicaid) were paying for them from launch in 2012.

The UK just came to an agreement for NHS to pay for it in 2020. 8 years later.

In Canada, only 5 of the 12 provinces/territories pay for it and only if your a child. Adults don't get it.

You actually stand the highest chance of getting it in the US.
I find it incredibly fascinating that some of the 1000 smartest people on internet are discussing if apple looks like orange, and if orange looks more like apple.

Instead of building things and relationships (which according to our very humble observation can be more fulfilling than building billion dollar companies), the culture as it is (and you can figure out which) is still today so attached to the ideas and conceptions that no longer serve humans and their fulfillment, living in times where no-one should be lacking anything.

If we start discussing if blocking water and food is can be excused by any God or highest of the dearest reason, then we should ask ourselves who brought these leaders to their positions and what is the fundamental flaw in the unfortunate human psyche.
And the people training stabile diffusion shouldn't need the authors consent to train on their works.
So it's "not very many" versus "not very many". Hardly a compelling case for "hyperfocus".
>There's no brainwashing here.

Advertising is at least trying to make you think thoughts it feeds you. "Buy Brand X, you'll get women!" If the advertising is effective, you'll associate Brand X with something positive and want to buy it.

It's kind of blanket brainwashing with extra steps because it's more indirect. Similar technological brainwashing might be joining an algorithmic social media site and becoming convinced of something the algorithm felt was the most engaging thing that day and spread, regardless of truth. Choosing to believe what social media or advertising tells without healthy skepticism you is willingly accepting some brainwashing.

There are people who feel really strongly about ads, and I'm one of them. I hate them, they don't share my values, and they are only trying to extract value from me. I run ad blocker in my browser, but mute and skip any ads I can like a peasant on my TV or phone. So overall I end up watching more ads than not since I don't watch videos on my PC much.
For those who might not know, this video took close to two years to make.
It doesn't look like that binary is used for Beeper Mini, unlike pypush: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works
It does replace the "lazy" part of StackOverflow but not the most valuable part of it. The lazy part is just responses to people that failed to find the manual and/or read it properly, and the responses just quote the docs back to them or show them how to apply the docs to a pretty straightforward examples. And this LLMs can do very well - and I don't mean to discount this, finding some corner case in the manuals can be very annoying and time-consuming endeavor, and LLM can save hours here.

But: any task that is minimally novel and non-trivial gets it completely stumped and it starts spewing pure nonsense. And plausibly looking nonsense at that, which is even worse - like construct the code that seemingly works except couple of key functions don't actually exist - LLM just hallucinated them because if they existed that how it'd work. Happened to me more times than I want to count. That's where SO is valuable because - occasionally - it is answered by people that actually understand what is going on and don't just regurgitate pre-digested information. Unfortunately, that's what LLMs are still largely incapable of. As regurgitators, they are probably the best tool out there. But beyond that - you'll still need to talk to somebody who understands.
Yes polishing the sides of the teeth to remove hardening plaque, not jamming string to remove chunks of food (that’s just a secondary benefit).
> Obviously Mini was using the encryption properly else it wouldn't have worked to begin with.

Just want to point out this isn’t inherently true. For example an insecurely generated session key would work fine but not be secure.

> Of course, it's very unlikely Apple is doing that. Just putting the thought out there.

Apple is doing what? Not using encryption properly? What reason do you have to believe that?

There are many factors.

Demographically, there are parts of Ukraine that have an ethnic Russian majority, and where Russian and not Ukrainian, is the de-facto language spoken. Among such regions you have Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk. In the last census before the conflict, the 2001 Ukranian census, Crimea had 60% ethnic Russians, and Donetsk and Luhansk were close to 50%. In those regions there have been conflicts between ethnic Russians and ethnic Ukrainians in recent times. Some ethnic Russians in ethnic Russian majority regions would like to be governed by Russia.

Another factor is that Crimea used to be Russian, and it was transferred by Nikita Khrushchev from the Russian SFSR to the Ukrainian SSR, and there are disputes over the region. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_of_Crimea_in_the_Sovi...

Another factor is Russia trying to have a power projection to the Black sea through the Crimean peninsula. Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 but then Ukraine cut the water supply to the area (North Crimean canal/Північно-Кримський канал).

Another factor is Ukraine surrendering their nuclear weapons and being left vulnerable.

Another factor is NATO advancing East and Ukraine getting aligned and closer to the European Union and NATO.

Another factor is Russia being a permanent member of the UN Security Council and thus having veto power over resolutions against it.

> The fact of the matter is Israel’s neighbors hate Israel

If we're going to be discussing facts, I think we should be fair to all sides, not just a minority.

The fact of the matter is those people decided to pick up everything and move into a region that already had people living there, and with neighbors that didn't like it then, nor now.

What's that meme where someone is riding a bike and puts a pipe in the spokes just to blame someone else called?
Oh well if there's jail time, surely people will be dissuaded and follow the law.
PGP users are a minority to begin with. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them do this. I think I got that rec from a PGP beginner guide I found the other month.

Don't forget about PGP smart cards either. You could keep the master key you use to sign subkeys on a smart card. A smart card should be harder to hack than your phone.

Qubes has built-in "split GPG" support that allows you to e.g. sign something using your private key while keeping it in a different VM. See https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/split-gpg/

I know PGP isn't for everyone, I just like the idea of keeping high-security options available for those who want them.

>More importantly, how do you know that your counterparty is one of that (extremely small) minority?

You could ask them :-)
> And when this system fails, the victim has effectively no remedy - their stalker already read the data that Verizon sent him.

Shouldn't the remedy be the guy goes to jail for a long time for forging a search warrant?
That's a feature, not a bug. Anyone who does that would be a miserable significant other.

That's because it's a ridiculous premise. We don't have any evidence that Tim Cook isn't robbing banks in his spare time either. I'm not saying he does.. I'm just throwing it out there because he might be.

That's not just a view or opinion, it's how learning works. Thanks for the link!

When starting to learn a domain, you lack deep understanding of it, so you cannot make sound decisions without rules.

But rules are always generalizations, they never fully encompass the complexity they hide.

Through experience, you should become able to see the underlying reason behind the rules you've been given. Once full understanding behind a rule is ingrained, the rule can be discarded and you can make your own decisions based on its underlying principles.

Then you become an expert through deep understanding of several aspects of a domain. You are able to craft solutions based off intricate relationships between said aspects.

Let's take `goto` as an example. The rule you will commonly see is "don't use it". But if you're experienced enough you know that's unnecessarily constraining, e.g. there's nothing wrong with a `goto` in C for the purpose of simplifying error handling within a function. It only becomes an issue when used liberally to jump across large swathes of code. But your advice to juniors should still just be "don't use it", otherwise your advice will have to be "use `goto` only when appropriate", which is meaningless.
> if I can just spin up an AI tool on AWS

Because most people can't do this or even know what you mean by this sentence. There is a reason why developers exist, and it's not because they can code per se. They solve problems that people don't know how to, and the code is just a means to that end.
Inspired by NeRFs (renders radiance fields as well) but is faster. It's a point cloud with fuzzy points that have size, shape, and direction, not just color/alpha. It has the same niche and up/downsides as point clouds, and the recent wave of interest is due to the easy reconstruction and rendering of photorealistic scenes from a few photos.

I have observed the same thing w.r.t the people who always seem to lead "new city" projects. I think there's a lot of elite projection when a billionaire seeks funding from other billionaires. These guys ride in limos to work everyday and have no idea how good a well-built mass transit system could be, for instance.

That and, the whole thing will ultimately have to be a grift, right? How are they going to monetize their new city? Even with the best aspirations, this still becomes a corporate town centered around helping some oligarchs make their money back.

"Default messaging app" is a creation of Android, necessitated because every cell phone manufacturer wanted its own messaging app. It somehow later became a feature people needed because those pre-installed apps were often dreadful adware junk. This was never a problem on iPhones. No one wants to set a "default messaging app". It mixes up where messages go. I want my Signal messages in the Signal app. I want my LINE messages in the LINE app. Putting them in random different places doesn't make sense and confuses where they're coming from. I don't want my contacts showing up half a dozen times repeatedly for every messaging app they're using.

I don't see anyone on Android wanting to put their SMS messages in the Discord app.
> on adversarial interoperability

In what world is interoperability adversarial? What the actual?
Yeah, that's pretty bad, but it lacks the terror and the brutality. Many people survive accidents of that magnitude and recover sooner or later. I cannot imagine being taken hostage, seeing your family members tortured and killed in front of you and dehumanized. I don't think anyone comes back from that.
Except the stakes for Apple are so much higher. If they’ve lied to everyone and are stealing messages, that’s a multi-billion dollar class action, against very little upside to Apple.

For a tiny company like Beeper, the incentives are different. The upside of being dishonest far outweighs the risks.

Not that I believe Beeper is nefarious. They probably aren’t. But their risk/reward for abusing trust is very different from Apple’s
Fair. For what it's worth I thought that PGP's trust system could operate in a similar manner to the X.509 authority system.

So you agree that every Palestinian who has never killed a Jew is being unfairly oppressed and should be allowed to immediately live in freedom. Great, that’s what, 1.999 million of them in Gaza?
That's a shame :/
because Israel has a well documented history of not letting refugees come back to their homes after they leave. So, if Egypt lets any amount of refugees in, they might as well be increasing their population permanently with a group of people who want to go back.
Sure, let’s look at their actions:

- Killed almost 18,000 people

- Displaced 1.9 million people

- Cut off food, water, medicine, fuel, electricity and Internet access

- Limited press access except for footage reviewed by the IDF

- Dropped ~2x as much explosive as the US dropped in Hiroshima

- Damaged over 2/3 of buildings

- Bombed basically every hospital

- Bombed an ambulance

- Told people to move south and then bombed Rafah crossing, on the border with Egypt

- Kidnapped thousands of Palestinians from the West Bank

- Tortured Palestinian abductees

- Handed out weapons to West Bank settlers

- Stripped civilians and paraded them through the streets

This is all after October 7th — before that, Israeli settlers were responsible for pogroms and dozens of murders in the West Bank.
EUR 5.5M frozen in anti-corruption investigations across Europe
"The investigations targeted a number of corruption related crimes including bribery and kickbacks, bid-rigging, trading in influence, collusion, conflict of interest, trading of information, embezzlement, favouritism and nepotism. The operational actions focused on corruption cases affecting politically exposed persons and foreign public officials, as well as corruption cases related to public procurement and investigations involving law enforcement and judicial authorities. National authorities also targeted different corruption practices in private companies as well as corruption in sports."
Yeah it's a silly take, tbh. To clarify I just mean that's the reason people pay attention. That's why there's the colonizer narrative going on that fuels a lot of teh protests. But yeah it's more complicated than just that.
I wonder how much of mathematics is locked away from us as it requires a level of intelligence we may never have. Why do we assume proofs should be simple little equations or even just a few pages? Elegance? Why should the universe be so elegant? Is it because elegant structures are more efficient and use less energy?

Edit: I know some proofs like Fermat's last theorem were like dozens of pages or more, but I realize that is still within the comprehension of a well trained and gifted human being.
Yes, what really mattered to the ordinary people on the ground wasn't the borders on a map; it was "my family has lived in this house and farmed this land for generations, but now men with guns say the house belongs to them and we have to leave."
Don't get me wrong: I've got a cheap (~$50 USD, delivered) Lenovo M600 here that I like just fine. It's a dandy little PC that does all kinds of normal PC stuff without any hacks required at all. (It runs Home Assistant rather well in a virtualized environment, and that's exactly what I bought it for.)

But there's a lot of things I can do with a Raspberry Pi [5] that I can't do with the M600.

Some examples off the top of my head:

I can't do hardware tinkering with it, like plug in a DS18B20 temperature sensor or blink an LED (or a video wall worth of WS2812s), due to lack of accessible GPIO. There's huge swaths of interesting projects that this lack of GPIO cuts out completely. (I'm thus also not particularly interested in using an M600 as a Klipper host for my custom 3D printing rig.)

I can't attach random PCIe devices to the M600 (as far as I know) to do things like run Stable Diffusion or run a small storage array (homebrew NAS!) due to the lack of an accessible PCIe interface.

The package is small by x86 PC standards, but it enormous by Raspberry Pi standards. Consequently, I'm not taking an M600 with me in my backpack to a hotel to tinker with when I'm out of town for work (whereas I barely notice a Pi in my backpack).

And the M600 is frankly pretty boring. Raspberry Pi devices are fun to goof around with, whereas dealing with the M600 feels exactly like dealing with my desktop PC feels (only slower). Having fun with computers is very important to me, and learning-oriented SBCs are a lot more fun than stodgy corpo off-lease "thin client" PCs are.

And speaking of off-lease: The M600 was already well-used when I got it. It showed up in good condition and I think it represented a good value at the time that I bought it, but newness matters.

It -especially- matters in a price comparison.

> Where is the SQLite test suite

Here's the scrapped tests:

https://github.com/bkiers/sqlite-parser/tree/master/src/test...

I didn't find a scrapper. I was cobbling together my own scrapper when I stumbled onto these files. My scrapper is turrible.

This SQLite grammar is included in grammars-v4. Looks like a copy vs a fork. I don't know why these tests weren't copied too.

> please don't try and write your own grammar

I must be a masochist.

Aside: Ages ago, during an job interview, when asked to talk about some of my prior work, I mentioned my SQL grammar. The self-described "bar raiser" cut me off, dismissed my effort as trivial, because the grammar generator (ANTLR) does all the work. I had no response.
I think about this meme every time I get distracted adding more customization to my vimrc. "How do I quit vim?" I ask myself as I dig deeper down the rabbit hole.
I'd expect in this exact case the answer might be easier. It's because fake has an ambiguous meaning. It includes everything from the gamut of completely absurd such as elections aren't even actually happening, to the improbable but possible such as elections being rigged, to the self evident such as the people being elected, and their subsequent actions taken, being completely unrepresentative of the people or their interests.

And while all these topics (and many more) can be encompassed by 'fake', they all are quite radically different.
