> what if you overwrite the entire disk

People who want secure deletion generally want their storage device to remain functional afterwards. Same reason they don't simply destroy the disk to get rid of its contents: those things are expensive. Overwriting the entire SSD every time you want a file gone just isn't a solution.

`git mv` is just shorthand for `git rm` and `git add`. All Git knows is that there was a file called `oldfile` and there's now a file called `newfile`, and whether or not they have similar contents or filenames. It's only when you run `git status` or `git diff` or whatever that it actually tries to guess if anything was renamed. So what you're seeing isn't the rename being recorded in history but just that guess being correct. It's easy for it to become incorrect if you make some nontrivial changes or have multiple similar files.

How do they control for the fact that people who are falling behind frequently work more after hours?

Is it that after hours works causes loss of productivity or is that slow people work after hours to try to make up for falling behind?

That’s a whole different discussion. I was replying to a comment that seemed to suggest that we could have a remotely comparable but decentralized entertainment industry somehow.

I’m not interested in a conversation about whether we really even need entertainment, that’s a whole different premise.
I worked in a very similar place a decade ago, and probably know a few of the major people involved here. Not that I've kept up with them.

The machines 10 years ago were on a LAN with limited access to the global (well, Chinese) Internet. It wasn't great but it wasn't terrible.

More troublingly, I would bet a large sum of money that there are Windows XP installs in this lab, and even pirate installs of LabView. I distinctly remember being onsite watching the guy next to me open up a NFO file to get the instructions for the LabView crack. At my station in one of the boxes I had a fully licensed multi-seat institutional LabView DVD set, paid for at staggering cost somewhere in the University hierarchy. I debated speaking up, but decided to just let him keep going on doing what he was doing. That was probably the right choice.

>Employees who log off at the end of the workday register 20% higher productivity scores than those who feel obligated to work after hours

>Slack’s Workforce Index, based on survey responses from more than 10,000 desk workers

Okay, so this "productivity" data is self-reported. How do you know that the after-hours workers aren't simply rating their own productivity lower than actual, or that the 9-5 workers aren't rating their productivity higher than actual? This data is useless.
Unless the search/replace is super simple, you need the YAML as far as I can tell. The refactor I gave up on automating had to do with changing variadic C++ macros into arithmetic expressions, which wasn't conceptually very complicated, but felt almost impossible while constantly tripping over YAML syntax errors.
I thought so, too. But then I asked it to define fake words that were portmanteaus I made up. Believe me, my understanding of BERT and discriminant models aligned perfectly with what you're saying. But testing out the theory that it can break down and make meaning of fake words with accurate depictions of what words I'm combining proved me wrong. Generative models must work differently than you and I thought.
Vehement disagree. Many of the early communities I participated in are gone forever, and it's a shame to think of how much more has been lost to time.

In the absolute limit, I hope our future descendents reconstruct the past light cone and can replay all of our biochemical thoughts and emotions. Perhaps even simulating our existence and perception to exacting precision.

I went to Iraq despite being against the invasion (although very pro CIA/JSOC activities in Afghanistan in 2001, but anti Big Army stuff in Afghanistan -- I met some of the "first in" guys a few years later and double down on that belief now) to 1) get as far away from a girl I'd broken up with in 2003 in the US and 2) to do a startup IX business with some Iraqi expats (who'd moved to London in the 70s-80s) and 3) be close to the biggest news event happening in the world and see what it was like up close.

The helping-out-with-medical happened 5-6 years later and was entirely due to the company I was contracting for having some connections at the founder level with Christian and medical charities who were also helping out there -- I can't really take any credit for "volunteering" for that, it was much closer to "voluntold", but I'm glad I did it.
I did my MSc thesis on ML in 2019 and so I‘m definitely no expert but one mental model worked well for me.

Machine learning models learn thousands of small functions which map input to output. A higher level "function" will choose which function is used to map the input to the output. So that’s what amazed me in about ChatGPT: think about all the little things it must understand to do what it does. For example, the model learned how to interpret if clauses and other language nuances, how variable definitions should be used, what words are in other languages.
I also disliked the Dragon Book as a student. I found it to have too much of an emphasis on lexing/parsing and not enough discussion for optimizations/analysis for my liking. I liked Advanced Compiler Design and Implementation by Muchnick, although it does have some warts (ICAN; less discussion of SSA than I would've liked) and I think it is a bit dated now.

> I seem to be on a website where nobody can picture doing anything without taking money from someone else.

And by the way, I'm not remotely capitalist, but I don't have the privilege of expecting the rest of the world to operate like I wish it would. In the US, unless you're independently wealthy, you've got to work to eat and feed your family, as I do, living together in a tiny apartment in a modestly priced city. Unless you're well-supported enough to spend a ton of time volunteering, which I am currently not, you've got to pull in money for what you do far more often than you give it away. Ignoring the realities of resource distribution in our society means you're more interested in patting yourself on the back for political and ethical purity than actually making a difference in people's lives. I've met a lot of people like that in political circles: their parents supported them and they were more interested in 'cred' and feeling cool than progress.

After years of hoping volunteer-driven FOSS would revolutionize our world, I now realize that the preponderance of developers are way more interested in coding as an intellectual exercise than solving real people's problems with their code. Think I'm wrong? Try putting in a PR, or heck, even a comment on an issue proposing some way to make something easier for non-technical users, and if anybody even responds, it will be to flame it into outerspace while essentially saying "they should just RTFM," or reflexively bikeshed it into oblivion. But what about all of those amazing well-loved heavily used FOSS apps popular among non-technical users, you might ask? Blender? Signal? Tally up the ones that aren't grant-funded and managed by people tasked with making the biggest impact possible with the resources they've got. I'd be pretty surprised if any of them had the luxury of choosing their tech stack completely independent of the resources required to develop with it.

It's good that the forest is being protected, but it shouldnt be counted as a sequestration project.

The net of not getting rid of the forest means it's starting at carbon neutral for the world as a whole.

Slash and burn would make it carbon positive for a bit, and regrowing it carbon negative for a bit, but all our base measurements include that forest already.

If you trade keeping the forest as it is against burning a bunch of oil, your still carbon positive by that amount of oil

You can keep just the public part of the backup key on your current device and always enroll the two keys at a time.

It looks like it might be possible to avoid leaking a list of the sites you use with yubikeys, but I need to look closer at how they work on the website's end to make sure they aren't using YubiCloud or some other third party service for validation or key management, and to make sure nothing is trackable through it. It looks like Yubico OTP requires Yubicloud and using yubico-pam might use Yubicloud.
When I'm shopping for a SaaS product one of the most important factors for me is trust.

Can I trust the product I'm using to stick around, to be secure, to not jack up prices?

If the product is clearly a clone of an existing product I'm much less likely to trust it - my very first introduction to them was through an action that doesn't inspire me to trust them!

If you think about it relative to the level of specific interaction you’re doing with a computer, then it makes sense

So, for example, if I’m talking to a compiler, I have to talk to it in effectively perfect sequential structure

If I’m talking to a web server, then it’s with a scripting language in order to communicate something from another programming language that’s interacting it lower level

At the other extreme if I’m talking to a kernel, then I really only have a couple of things I can say because its language is memory blocks

In this case, because I’m talking to what’s effectively an interpreter, then the default language looks like a scripting language rather than a programming language or natural language

Which in effect is what’s happening? These are basically scripts people are running against the structure of the GPT sequence interpretation - so it’s a weird mix

Curious what other people think but I’d bet it has more to do with the prices that the market will bear rather than competition between products, and there’s a huge difference between consumer and business prices generally for this reason. This is reflected in consumer vs business SaaS tools, e.g. compare pricing of Apple’s iCloud vs Box pricing. Another factor is that for many services, there isn’t a clear marketplace as there is for consumer apps, and SaaS tools often grow via outbound sales, so the market is less efficient essentially.

I love the idea of such smaller communities and the "old web" style of interaction, but for me the issue is one of discoverability. How do I find and follow people?

> my server is a qnap tvs-473e with an embedded amd cpu/gpu

That's your problem. I googled and it looks like one of these all-in-one appliances like a drobo or whatever's popular these days. That's not a server. (At least, I wouldn't call it a server. It's an all-in-one appliance, or toy, depending on perspective) And yegods, that price...

Spend $500, get an actual computer, not some priced up appliance, and you'll have a much better time. Regardless of if you spend it on more CPU or more GPU. You can get a used computer off ebay for $100 and shove a $400 graphics card in it. Or maybe get a ryzen 7 7700x, I'm looking at a mobo+cpu combo with that for $500 right now.

Finally, to make sure this response does contain a answer to what you asked: ;-)

if you can run this stuff in a container on your appliance already, but it's very slow, congrats! I'd call that a win. I looked up the chip, the RX-421BD, it's of similar power as an Athelon circa 2017. I think my router might have more compute power. You _do_ have those 512 shader cores, given effort, you could try and get them to do something useful. But I wouldn't assume it's possible (well, maybe you don't mind writing your own shaders ;-)). Just because the chip has "some gpu" doesn't mean it has "the right kind of gpu you'd need to hijack for lots of matrix multiplies, without writing the assembly yourself".

Sorry this isn't more helpful, but it's the truth.

Go try and replicate one. Get the team and the capital, build all the features, get all the certificates, get an enterprise sales team, and do all of this to… build a clone of an existing product? And what’s to stop them from cutting their prices until you bleed to death?

Best way to do this is a pure commodity play. Like something totally replaceable where the cheapest possible option that works is good. I’ve seen many Indian and Eastern European teams try this. Just google “[Some SaaS] vs” and see the products pop up. It’s possible but it isn’t as easy as it sounds.

Furthermore there are a lot of edge cases and special features you don’t see. Special flags they turn on for customers with some special need, or in some industry. Closing enormous b2b enterprise deals often includes a good amount of custom logic and integration that no one else understands.
I disagree. The Emacs community has, at least historically, strongly valued backward compatibility. Breaking existing users is just about the worst thing you could do in Emacs.

If we aren't strongly considering reverting a breaking change immediately, that signals that the Emacs devs no longer value backward compatibility as highly, which means Emacs is abandoning many of its existing users.

Core values matter. The Emacs maintainers did something that violated a core value, and the community is rightfully offended.
> I'm taken completely off guard that calling the EU socialist would be in any way contentious.

Well, then you should look up words you're using. Nobody considers the EU to be socialist. The word "socialism" is poorly defined, but as a minimum it does away with private ownership of the means of production. No such thing is happening in the EU - private corporations are well and alive.

Every first world country (and many others too) bar the USA has universal healthcare (it's not "free", we have to pay for it), and even the US has consumer protection (sometimes even more so than the EU) and laws that companies must obey. And of course, no place on earth has "equality for all", certainly not the EU, where wealth inequality is quite high.
> No, but they might enact a no-fly zone, or do a peace keeping mission with lots of possible rules of engagement

I'm not sure how that would work here. Given that they are primarily Israeli jets in the air, UN member states would need to be willing to shoot down Israeli jets to enforce the no-fly zone.

> if the UN had significant power in the Israel/Palestine conflict, there's a series of adopted resolutions that could have been de facto enforced

Now you got me curious. What are those existing resolutions they could reach for? Is it mainly just enforcement related to economic sanctions and similar non-military actions?
