Their handling of the switch to systemd was dismissive. Tom Gunderson simply left sysvinit to rot. There was no grace period of switching, and sysvinit was removed prematurely. It was one of the first distros that went all in on it, well ahead of others. They claimed that sysvinit would remain a choice but did not clarify how long that choice would remain and generally just made the switch and said "get over it".

I did, I left Arch Linux and went to Gentoo where I could have control.

Arch is a shadow of what it was under Judd. phrakture was the worst thing to happen to that distro's culture.
I thought the fact that some characters seemed down for casual sex not as a relationship end goal was good too.

I found it outrageous that shadowheart was so reticent, while simultaneously encouraging polyamory and saying she was down for a hooker foursome. Three side characters offered to fuck before shadowheart. Felt like those narratives either should have been much longer and deeper or not there at all.
iMessage doesn't send SMS/MMS messages.
Note that the Pi 5 is $60 (4GB), the case is $10, a good microSD card is $10, and the PSU is $12. So total to get into the Pi 5 game is $92, not $140. All of those things besides the Pi 5 itself right now are in stock at my local computer store, so no shipping either ;)

And Pi 4 is a perfectly reasonable computer for many, many use cases still, and is available practically everywhere again.
The iPhone user experience for messaging with Android users (especially MMS) is awful and the Android users in the group chat get blamed for it. Having blue text bubbles show up when someone texts you can be seen in some circles as a status symbol.

> Apple is probably the company that most has my interests at heart: they're very privacy focused, masterful at encryption and making it simple, and makes products I love.

Apple is a business, they have no users interests at heart. They may be very privacy focused, and maybe masterful at encryption but for sure they do not make products I love. Their instant change of UI, forceful updates and territoriality behaviour are some of the toxic behaviours that drive me mad.

As the same of Google. After Google banning my email for "non-inclusive" reasons wolfcub@gmail.com when I was 17, I will never return.

So within mobile, while only real alternative is Apple. Apart from my computer which is FreeBSD which will soon to be Haiku once it matures. I just couldn't get everything working with OpenIndiana and how I wanted it to be.
Well then you really should look at how the West Bank came to fall under military law, and how the Gaza Strip became overpopulated with both its neighboring countries closing its borders.

History is complicated, yes, but it is how we got into this situation and everybody's idea of a solution is based on their preferred version of history.
The Ukrainians disagree; I'll trust their opinions about their own lives and country, Colonel.

What do you mean? There are no services bridged to iMessage.
I've been excited about the possibility of having computational power around my home. A Pi would enable this, but so would a central computer connected to several thin clients, or even just NAS access, both of which being cheaper options. The Pi is pretty cool, but I'm finding less uses for it personally. It's still a nice device for embedded applications
This seems like complete misdirection from the fact that OpenAI has a better product than Google.

Sounds like 7% of revenue rather than profit. But I agree it seems weird to cap it at 7.
"Pants down" situation aside, if the firmware is not signed or verified in any way, then isn't it prone to "neutrino bit reversal", potentially causing Bad Things?

I have no idea how those systems work and what guarantees they provide, but this would be hair-raising...
Exactly, it's fundamentally impossible. Formal proofs can help with parts of the process, but it can guarantee no bugs in the product. These are the steps of software, and their transitions. It's fundamentally a game of telephone with errors at each step along the way.

What actually would solve the customer's problem -> What the customer thinks they want -> What they communicate that they want -> What the requirements collector hears -> What the requirements collector documents -> How the implementor interprets the requirements -> What the implementor designs/plans -> What the implementor implements.

Formal proofs can help with the last 3 steps. But again that's assuming the implementor can formalize every requirement they interpreted. And that's impossible as well, there will always be implicit assumptions about the running environment, performance, scale, the behavior of dependent processes/APIs.

It helps with a small set of possible problems. If those problems are mission-critical then absolutely tackle them, but there will never be a situation where it can help with the first 5 steps of the problem, or with the implicit items in the 6th step above.
Curiously, I was riding a TGV in France few weeks ago, and due to some track problems, we had to change the direction and go back to previous station (and then use different track to go forward again).

It took more than 1h to start going back, and I wonder how much of it was making sure the track is clear, and how much was "rebooting the train" or whatever else was necessary.
This is like someone making 100k a year but spending 115k a year saying "ehh, 16 more cents doesn't matter".

I certainly will try it, once we get AMD drivers to a happier place. Unfortunately, Nvidia's proprietary drivers are not ideal for community debugging, and Nouveau is a little rough on arm64.
That's what you get when you're surrounded by 'yes' people. It's one of the main reasons that power corrupts: you no longer have anything to calibrate with.
I recently switched from Android to iOS just for iMessage. SMS is quite unreliable even in 2023. SMS messages don't have the same delivery guarantees as IP-based messaging services. And often I have internet access, but spotty cellular service. The thing that pushed me over the edge was that my carrier happened to block all my SMS for a day. I only found out about it later in the day, after I had missed many (unrecoverable) messages. To avoid this, I could either blindly trust some other carrier, or use IP-based messaging. In my area, all my friends use iMessage. Ideally, people would use Telegram, WhatsApp, or even Matrix, but they don't. It's not uncommon to leave someone out of a group chat just because they don't have iMessage--the alternative is a subpar MMS experience. At some point, I'll probably buy a cheap Mac Mini and run BlueBubbles, but for now it's nice to not have to worry about messaging reliability, and I get the added bonus of being able to Facetime my family members, who all use iOS.
> As likely a cause as any was interdental manipulation: teeth cleaning, flossing, heavy brushing. Turns out, bleeding gums are a direct conduit for bacteria to the bloodstream. When I told the family medicine doctor I had gotten “really into flossing during the pandemic,” he said that might have done it. But there was no way to know. Anyway, I wasn’t his problem anymore. That’s the nature of the American medical system: disasters are passed from one MD to another, with little care or concern for how the disaster happened in the first place.

Is it safer to floss or not?
So instead of being possibly unencrypted RCS when sending outside iMessage, you'd rather guarantee it be unencrypted?
Do you really consider Apple's control over a proprietary protocol which they invented and maintain to be comparable to a scenario in which Apple "sends a man" to take "your fire extinguisher […] from your house"?

I've re-written this comment five or six times in an attempt to find the most charitable interpretation, but I just cannot comprehend how it made it through your filter and out onto the internet.
Buildings and temporary displacement inside the Strip aren't interesting - some Gulf states will cover reconstruction, and the royal houses will have a few less yachts.

Ukraine lost a double-digit % of its population when you include permanent displacement (these refugees will not return), and its civilian casualties are absurdly underestimated (yea, Mariupol had 1K, right - when the Russians bombed places with the writing 'children' on them). Syria had an official 500K - only because they stopped counting - and millions of refugees. These are literally on another scale by both time and damage, without even going into Sudan/Yemen which are on a scale of their own.
Fixing this bug leaves the gap intact.
The USA is a bad example because it does not have a basic ethnic group. A good parallel would be: "France should not be a French state" or "Ireland should not be an Irish state" or again "Japan should not be a Japanese state."
I'm sorry to always inject nuclear weapons into everything[1], but the relationship with nuclear technology is another one.

Nukes in the silo essentially act as an enforcement penalty on their own people. No dissident in a nuclear state is willing to openly accept foreign aid for fear of the enemy; no foreign party is willing to openly aid dissidents in a nuclear state for fear of the enemy. Effectively, the stability of both nuclear states is created by the technology that they are both forced to maintain. They're now invasion-proof - the absolute core selling point of getting these things - but the technology over time inherently creates a stratified state. Effectively, it stands as its own system, the weapons creating hubris which creates fear which creates more nuclear states.

Veterans often state that in theatre, combat conditions, there is a sensation that the war is also a self-guiding machine, somehow separate from the men fighting it. While evocative, it is, of course, an illusion. The ones making war aren't the ones fighting it, so it seems guided by unseen malevolence.

[1] Kinda-not-really-sorry. I still don't think any human civilization has come to grips with the tech yet. It's disconcertingly like machine guns in 1897.

Automating jobs isn't a risk, it's the main feature. I can't wait for a future in which human will have to do little actual work besides what they feel like doing.

I wouldn't get in one of those going 22 miles an hour let alone 220 mph.
>When institutions allow student to take degrees that society finds less valuable (art,music...) they are doing society a disservice by not producing what society needs.

1. what's wrong with a student pursuing their own personal goals? A person doesn't need to produce for society's sake.

2. despite that sentiment you hold, it's clear many people do value art and music. Maybe not in its pure form, but those artists do in fact fuel industries worth billions. Clearly "society" values something that requires such skills and thinking.
Yeah exactly, sorry.
> Israel is, by far, the stronger party

Israel is stronger than Palestine, sure, but that's not the most relevant comparison to think about. Think about all the neighboring countries that do not recognize Israel's right to exist. Think about their financial and military support for Hamas. Think about all the extremists that come from Syria and Iran to help Hamas.

Notes: I'm offering these statements in a self-contained way that I hope is fair. / I'm not claiming any one side is blameless. / I reject any moral equivalence between the IDF and Hamas. / I reject belief systems that say adherents should kill non-believers. / I don't support Netanyahu; he's not fit for the job. / I want to reduce the suffering of all people, including the people of tomorrow. / The past is gone; we can only work for a better future. / I hold out hope for a moderate 'middle' of everyday Israelis and Palestinians wanting peace. / Moderate views can only traction if the extremist elements on all sides are reduced. / By reduced I mean with minimum coercion. / But I'm not a pacifist; violence is sometimes necessary albeit never to be celebrated.
I’m pretty sure it’s just glitches then. These things are nigh unavoidable with at least some party members. I tried to be as rude to gale as possible at every dialogue but he still liked me.

Split screen did seem to have some bugginess whereby side characters would randomly decide they wanted to fuck whichever player talked to them first, regardless of past interactions.
An android user in an otherwise iMessage only group chat tends to mess things up. Those Apple users tend to get frustrated by it and group chat exclusion is a real thing.

It’s less about a specific feature set and more about inclusion and acceptance from/by peers.

This is especially prevalent among the younger crowd. Think high school group dynamics playing out with phones.

And then on top of that, photos/videos are terrible quality.
Unless you know the ground truth, nothing can be said about this.

And even then you have the Alf Landon effect : : being perceived as a minority invites voluntarily action.
Wow fascinating. Apparently it is a deciduous tree.
Yep, agree++.

It’s impossible to avoid relying on other people’s platforms. (Unless you want approximately zero customers, I guess) I wish these monopolistic corps didn’t have such an iron grip, but I’m not demanding creators single handedly remove every dependency on them. There is no ethical consumption (or production) in late stage capitalism.
The well established solution called democracy generally concludes that people should be allowed to continue living in separate jurisdictions rather than being consolidated into one territory between "river and sea" for reasons of history and religious symbolism though.

As it happens, the Palestinians are slightly outnumbered in the area between the river and the sea, which means that when it crops up in the Hamas charter it's difficult to imagine that democracy is how they would seek to maintain control over the region, even ignoring recent history (And yeah, the same question marks about how exactly they would stay in power applies to all the Palestinian and Israeli groups before them that defined the "river and the sea" as the territories they thought their brethren should assume control of, as they pointedly focused on the idea of historical unity rather than self determination)

I'm sure there are people who sincerely believe in the position that a single state solution with some form of democracy would be best for the region and a moderating influence but I don't think they overlap much with the river sea border slogan people...
lol, what if china says no?

Now I have a company that cannot compete at the scale some chinese company can. OK so we close the border to imports from companies that are larger than our rules. When has that ever worked out?
There are RWKV numbers in there, so you sort of got your wish sideways. :)

Has RWKV not released anything until now? I thought it was an open project that was in use, if sort of by a hipster 1%
Tell me when Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Line, WeChat, and all the others are opened.

Oh right. No one cares. Apple’s iMessage is the only one a large number of people seem to care about.

I’ve never seen anyone call for opening the others. But Apple? Constantly.
I'm not sure what was expected after they reverse engineered a private API and used it.
> Hence, it is clear that under some circumstances, the moral obligations of soldiers would reduce to that of police (when the opposing beligerent force is nearly eliminated). The degree to which this is the case depends on the tactical state of play, which is unclear (and likely to remain so).

This is clearly not the case - the IDF is still actively fighting Hamas militants, Hamas is still firing rockets at Israel, IDF soldiers are getting killed every day, etc. Not to mention, the population itself is not fully cooperating with the IDF, I believe.

For contrast, Israel has ordered many Israelis to leave areas for their own protection, I believe around 100-150k Israelis have evacuated their homes. No one is talking about them being "ethnically cleansed", and whil there is internal political pressure to help them, no one thinks it's immoral that they were asked to relocate. Clearly the situation in Gaza is different, because many people are outraged that Gazans were similarly asked to evacuate their cities for their own protection.

> I have to say that it's also unclear to me personally whether the current rate of civilian deaths could be justified under any circumstances. Since Israel has not stated what it wants the end-goal of the war to be, we don't know how it could justify it either.

Israel has stated it wants the hostages returned, and Hamas destroyed. Whether this is achievable, or what exactly counts as "Hamas being destroyed", are open questions, but not impossible to answer. (And frustrating as it is, it makes sense that Israel doesn't want to publicize its exact goals.)

Regarding the rate of civilian deaths - this if of course hard to exactly know, given the incentive of both sides to manipulate numbers. I trust the Israeli side far more, and I think everyone should given that the other side is Hamas, but I'm also obviously biased.

That said, the IDF has said it thinks it's killing 2 civilians per 1 Hamas fighter. This is a ratio that, as far as I know, is roughly in line with other conflicts by Western countries. The rate itself is fairly high but it's likely to be far shorter and lead to orders of magnitude less killed than in other conflicts.

I do want to mention that, while I talk about these numbers as statistics, every civilian death is a tragedy. Hell, every death is a tragedy - if Israel could manage to not kill any militants, it would be morally better, because every death is a tragedy.
That was a dedicated software engineering course I took at university. Teams of 5. Had to put the soft eng theory into practice. And if’s not CMU.
This is unfortunate, but not untrue. Even just going through discovery on this issue would be quite expensive — and would be critical to proving Beeper's case.
Well for comparison the sunflower has around 30% more base pairs in it's genome than the human genome, kentucky bluegrass has more than double, spruces have around 7x as many, pines have over 10x, but oak has less than a third.

So it's kind of all over the place. Even relatively similar plant species within the same family can have massively different genome sizes.

Chinese chestnuts have a comparatively small genome but they were only sequenced in the last 4 years and to my knowledge they are the only chestnut to have been sequenced.
Why?

Ai already makes money.

My company is paying for GitHub copilot.

I'm paying for chatgpt.

I'm seeing more and more news article with images generated from ai.

The demos for integration I have seen, work.

Every company which is right now learning how to leverage ai will be able to pivot and already have necessary things in place like a company, people, base infrastructure.

And the research is still super hot.
I get the feeling that the plan to keep that from just being lots of people in poverty takes longer to evolve than the AI does to take the jobs.

Edit: For the replies, yes, things adjust. It's not, however, instantaneous.
What I love about midieditor is that it is FOSS and works natively on Linux.
> H 7B is always faster than optimized Transformers

50% improvement on very large sequences is great. But it is not yet transformative (pun intended..)

Presumably FlashAttention already does lots of the less-than-quadratic improvement
Apple is not preventing anyone from downloading beeper, or giving beeper money, or running beeper software. They are exercising control over their own servers.
Maybe Apple was waiting for a Friday afternoon to issue their update.
> Similarly, find another slogan besides "From the river to the sea", because that is, in fact, a call to ethnically cleanse all Jews from Israel. It has meant that since the establishment of Israel, and you don't get to wander in and say it means something different at this point. If you don't mean that, don't say it. Find literally any other way to express yourself.

The phrase was also used by the Israeli ruling Likud party as part of their 1977 election manifesto which stated "Judea and Samaria will not be handed to any foreign administration; between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty."

So it hasn't always meant that, really.
My thinking is that they can just start a subsidiary that draws from upper (parent company) IP to pay out profits. It sounds like an accountant homework task, but I don't know shit. I'm just a bit cynical, having lived in the EU my whole life.
Mere "peace" is absolutely not the meaning of the phrase. If it were, the phrase would be unnecessary.

The phrase was dreamt up by Western Israeli allies to promote an oppressive pipe-dream border arrangement that was not even remotely acceptable by any reasonable standards. Only propagandized westerners even speak of it.

This is done so the Western media can frame Palestinians as uncooperative.
Like the age old builder trope.

"Cheap. Fast. Good. Pick two."
> Sadly, I think we are going to continue with the one state with Apartheid

The situation is not like Apartheid in South Africa.

In Apartheid, the white minority controlled South Africa, and did things like denying the black majority the vote.

In contrast, Israel has a ~20% Arab minority (excluding Gaza and West Bank). The rights of that minority are respected. Arabs can vote in Israel, and in fact there is an Arab party in the Israeli parliament.

Gaza was largely self governing until the Oct 7th attacks. Israel has not shown any desire to "rule" Gaza.

That's possible. I'm aware that Hamas filmed much of what they did, and that they committed rape and torture in addition to murder; I'm not aware of the contents of much of the footage available because I'm, frankly, too squeamish to seek it out or watch it myself. Do you think this substantively detracts from my overall point, though?
It wouldn't be a risk at all, if AI learned to help to create new businesses (being a founder's copilot) sooner than it learns to automate jobs.
