I would assume that this is completely PS5-specific. I've really liked the overall PlayStation experience ever since the PS2, but I think part of the reason everything works so smoothly is that every generation is a pretty strict walled garden.[1] Not having a compatibility layer to upconvert PS4 controller input to mimic a PS5 controller removes a whole branch of code, testing/user troubleshooting steps/bug fixing, and complexity.

I'm genuinely surprised that Sony built and released an accessible controller at all. This feels like a huge step for them. So while it might be frustrating to imagine having to upgrade when the PS6 comes out in the distant future, it's still a net positive IMO.

[1] I'm still a little grumpy that I couldn't use the PS3 media remote with the PS4 or later, because it worked better than the ones that came after.
Yeah, I’m missing the connection. Is he supposed to hold his stock forever? The stock didn’t crash on announcement of his departure, so even if you’re not aware of scheduling, there was no advantage that I can see to him.

Smells like outrage baiting, honestly.
Along what axis do you want the VCS to be "better" than git?

For example, git's cli user interface is monstrous (yes, I know, you personally have 800 cli commands memorized and get them all right every time, that doesn't make it "good"). From the outset, the maintainers of git basically decided "it's too much work to make all the cli flags behave and interact consistently" so they didn't. This allowed git to grow fast, at the cost of the cli user experience.

That said, git is big enough that multiple companies have come along and "solved" the git UI problem. None of these aftermarket UI layers are perfect, but there are enough of them and they are different enough that you can probably find one that is good enough for you, along whatever axis you personally dislike the git UI (examples include [0], [1], [2], which tackle very different user workflow problems).

> We’re inviting researchers and institutions who have been previously involved in speech research, and who want to pursue responsibility and safety research on the latest Audiobox models, to apply.

It's not clear as to what the expected outcome of this 'responsibility and safety research' effort is. Is the idea to nerf the tech such that it can't be used for morally/ethically nefarious purposes? If so, then is the "speech research" community the group best fit to do that work?
To my understanding SiFive continues to offer their selection of core IP. Anyways, I would assume any existing contract would have to be fulfilled for various legal reasons.

SG2042 itself is T-HEAD C920 design which is a mess, and might not be even called a RISC-V compliant design. We are kinda stuck it existing and being used in various chips. There are other design issues discovered IIRC (atomic might not work properly [at least on the kernel side workarounds required]; floating point failures in glibc testsuite because FP not being compliant). SG2044 is scheduled for the next year (2024). Not many details are known: 64 cores, 8 DDR controller, 3x memory bandwidth, vector v1.0 support, 2x PCIe (unknown what that means, Gen3 -> Gen4? More lanes?). The cores are unknown, but SG2038 is SiFive P670. T-HEAD has C908 that support vectors v1.0 (and solves some other issues), but that's a smaller core. Not a replacement for C910/C920.

I haven't tried this, but I'm always frustrated that tmux doesn't have sane scroll and copy/paste behavior out of the box. I'm not even sure how to configure it properly to have sane behavior. If this could solve that by default, as well as making it easier to restore sessions I might be in.
I don't think that feature is covered in vimtutor. As far as I can tell vimtutor mentions registers only once in passing and buffers not at all.

If you use this stuff a lot, it is totally going to suck. Some thing has changed, that may or may not have a good technical reason, that means that after years of the program training you into behaving one way (and it's not like this is some crazy workflow you've invented yourself, right - this is literally you following the documented process) you're now being punished for it by having it not work.

Here it is, my latest compiler book! Basically an expanded version of "Write Your Own Compiler", this time discussing code generation for CP/M on the Z80 (instead of ELF on modern systems), which simplifies some things a lot.

How much complexity do you need to self-compile a compiler in 10 minutes on a 4MHz Z80 system? Take a look and find out! The code is free (but the book is not).
For anyone missing COM files, it's not very difficult to slap a (nearly) constant ELF header on what is basically a glorified COM file to generate a valid executable.

(hmm... I haven't done this since widespread W^X; it might be a little more difficult these days but if so anyone who's had to write ROMable code will know the usual workarounds)

What a nothingburger. Is this actually considered news at The Guardian?
My one car with AEB has been pretty good with activations at speed, sometimes activating for a situation which wasn't really needed, but always understandable. The trickiest one is when a car in front is leaving the lane and slowing, but I wouldn't call that a false positive --- it's not stopping out of the blue or for a falling (tree) leaf; it detected the scenario properly, but not the nuance.

At parking speeds though, it would regularly emergency brake to save bushy flowers encroaching into the driveway, or one, it tried to save a driveway from being backed into (there was some weird pavement angle).

What you're describing is almost exactly the opposite of what LLMs are good for. Quickly getting a draft of something roughly like what you want without having to look a bunch of stuff up? Great, go wild. Writing something to a very high standard, with careful attention to specs and possible failure cases, and meticulous following of rules? Antithetical to the way cutting-edge AI works.
In the interest of fairness, it should be noted a very specific solution was tried and rejected (providing configuration variables to adjust the behavior of `register-read-with-preview`). I personally don't see anything preventing users from configuring alternate commands which call directly `set-register` and mapping those as they please, so in that sense it is still configurable. And in the extreme case you could even use advices, etc. It is very difficult to make something non-configurable in Emacs and I don't see the register system being so ingrained as to be one of those things.

Whether it's a good idea... well, I don't use registers but the whole thing seems like a bad idea to me. I don't think I know anyone who uses registers and would like the new behavior. (But I also understand the desire to modernize `register-read-with-preview` a bit. A better solution seems like it would be providing multiple implementations so users can do the register equivalent of `(fset #'yes-or-no-p #'y-or-n-p)` like every old Emacs user does today.)

Why Santa Claus Is Not a God
Higher up, I phrased it the other way around - but they are the same thing. The creation of property rights around non-scarce things undermines scarce property rights.

There is a contest between scarce rights and non-scarce rights. At the moment, developed-world nations default to a position where non-scarce rights overrule scarce rights.

Example 1. Consider your ownership of a computer. A computer is scarce property. In a regime that respects only scarce rights, you could do what you like with it. In the regime that runs developed countries at the moment, there are all kinds of things we cannot do with it due to "intellectual property" rights. If you paid a company for some software in the past, you cannot do maintenance work on that software because the person who wrote it own the copyright to it. Even though you own a hard disk, you are not allowed to make copies of bits on that disk that are held to be copyright-protected. There are non-scarce things you are not allowed to distribute, non-scarce things you are not allowed to bundle, legalese garbage you have to pay lip-service to, etc.

Example 2. Imagine you manufacture mobile phones. One day you get a nastygram from a competitor who says that you are infringing on their patents. You send your team to look into it. They learn that years ago this competitor was able to secure patents on some basic techniques. In some places, patents have been granted on some things that are fundamental - it is not clear whether it would even be possible to operate in the domain without using these approaches. Your engineering team unknowingly reimplemented those same ideas from first principles while they were building the phone. You are left with a choice - 1. pay up; 2. try to appeal the patent (good luck training a non-technical judge or jury in this highly complex domain to a standard so they can reject the patent); 3. find a way to achieve outcomes without infringing on the patents. Again - non-scarce rights are severely impacting your reasonable use of scarce property. (In a scenario similar to this, Intel failed in the mobile phone space a few years back despite strong support from Apple. Quallcom has very strong patent coverage in that space.)

By law you own the metal and silicon that is in front of you. Yet there are all of these laws that prevent you from making free use of it, with each of them being grounded in somebody else's non-scarce "property" rights. How did this come about? About a century ago, governments started changing the concept of property from what everybody had understood it to be for thousands of years (scarce goods) to the arbitrary "bundle of rights" definition, and begun attaching the benefits of property to things that were not scarce. Then trade agreements were used to establish these as international standards.

Above you said that I was proposing a dystopia. Not so. The dystopia is what we have now.

A constitutional limitation of property rights to scarce property should strongly strengthen scarce property rights over what we have at the moment.

> That wasn’t part of the partition plan, and hadn’t happened yet.

I must admit I don't know as much as I would like about this, so please correct me if I say something stupid (and share reading recommendations), but: my understanding is, "Israel" at this point was composed of several factions who disagreed greatly about methods. Probably Ben-Gurion did not have ethnic cleansing in mind, but Irgun and Lehi did, which was enough—the most radical factions were also most willing to fight, which gave them outsize power. (Though even Ben-Gurion did not intend to stay only within the borders allotted by the UN, he intended to take control of even Jewish settlements outside the partition borders.)

As for the war: the invasion by the Arab countries upon Israel's declaration of independence was an expansion of a civil war within Palestine that had already been going on for more than 5 months, and that the Palestinians were decisively losing. The Arab states hoped mostly to save face and to stop the flood of Palestinian refugees that would result if the current trajectory continued.

It'll affect linear entertainment far before it impacts games seriously (Especially the 'full immersive' games where you chat with AI agents)

AI is still too expensive and performance intensive to run in games cost effectively, and truly powerful AI is probably another 10-100x cost increase.

On the other hand, novels will be rapidly replaced by visual novels. The cost of having a novel fully illustrated and voiced will go down 1000x. A high quality illustration used to cost $500-$1000 (A day's work from a high-tier commercial artist), soon it will be about $0.5. I'm not counting in the author's time to prompt the images, because it would have costed them way more time to communicate with the illustrator anyways.

The entire boundary between novels, comics, cartoons etc will blur. Like if a newly written Harry Potter can have thousands of illustrations set in Hogwarts and be fully voiced, the standards for a movie adaptation will be astronomically high, which will in turn drive AI use in movie production just to keep up.

If I understood this correctly, the new behavior cannot be customized back to the old behavior. If that's true, then that's obviously very bad. Generally, as an Emacs user, I don't just want an opt-in or a gentle transition, I need to be able to customize everything to my needs.
For whatever reason this keeps getting thrown around as though it's true, possibly because it's a bit scary to see a radically different system that is by some measurements surpassing our own.

It's true some are empty, at least for now, but many aren't.

Sure, and you can recover from any hardware failure with a separate computer. In fact, you can recover from death simply by cloning yourself. What's the issue?

The issue is that some people don't have the time, money, and/or willpower to invest in backups. Some people only have one volume, or one copy of each volume at least, and need to recover their data using only that one volume if something gets corrupted. That's what "corruption you can recover from" means. Using a backup is not recovering from corruption; it's replacing the corruption with the pre-corrupted data. Recovering from corruption involves actually transforming the corrupted data back into non-corrupted data.
That version is the one (or one of the ones) affected. I'm guessing that's why they froze it, though why they didn't replace it with a newer one, or even the old safe version I'm not sure.
