As long as they're not distributing iOS or any proprietary ROMs with it then the emulator is perfectly legal.

that's a great example!

And this is why the users are the ultimate deciders - or at least should be - what features ought to be removed, rather than the developers.

Reminds me of the Joel on Software article talking about the 80/20 myth and why it’s a bad idea to take this path.

https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2001/03/23/strategy-letter-iv...

> A lot of software developers are seduced by the old “80/20” rule. It seems to make a lot of sense: 80% of the people use 20% of the features. So you convince yourself that you only need to implement 20% of the features, and you can still sell 80% as many copies.

> Unfortunately, it’s never the same 20%. Everybody uses a different set of features. In the last 10 years I have probably heard of dozens of companies who, determined not to learn from each other, tried to release “lite” word processors that only implement 20% of the features. This story is as old as the PC. Most of the time, what happens is that they give their program to a journalist to review, and the journalist reviews it by writing their review using the new word processor, and then the journalist tries to find the “word count” feature which they need because most journalists have precise word count requirements, and it’s not there, because it’s in the “80% that nobody uses,” and the journalist ends up writing a story that attempts to claim simultaneously that lite programs are good, bloat is bad, and I can’t use this damn thing ’cause it won’t count my words. If I had a dollar for every time this has happened I would be very happy.
Okay, then that’s just saying we “let the market forces work out not murdering your own employees”. It dilutes the statement to be meaningless.

Criminal liability is a massive government intervention which is the exact opposite of allowing market forces to decide.
Neither. Although less hyped, at the enterprise level, there are still plenty of Hadoop/Spark implementations. Organizations are just trying to decide on whether to move these implementations to the cloud, retain some form of on-prem to retain control, or migrate to other platforms like Snowflake.
Well, the fix was probably around the lines of:

But, whatever, I mean, there are literal dinosaurs going around, I guess that's the more plausible plotline.

BOC sells a couple of Xmas smells, or did at least, from 1995, 'BOC's first big customer is Woolworths, where a whiff of cinnamon and a subtle hint of cloves will be in the air this Christmas' by 1997 it had become 'a heady mix of pumpkin and thyme'!
Early in my IBEW (union electrician) training, a particularly outspoken oldguy asked me, mockingly "are those tampons in your ears?!"

My response was "No, Carl — they're sound dampeners SO I DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOUR CONSTANT BITCHING SO MUCH."

Old journeyman immediately took me under his wing, and we were inseparable (he even would wear PPE around me). I learned much from this "kind" old curmudgeon.

This is an interesting comment because there are jobs like this out there. Absolutely companies exist which pay janitors very well. Companies exist owned by janitors who make tons of money. Many, many companies also exist that are absolutely of low quality.

It would be good to explore this disparity more. Just because there's a job called "janitor" doesn't mean it is valued the same way in every context, even if we might argue it should. Why?

What the actual heck? I thought this was declared illegal everywhere in the EU? How and when did this happen and how did I miss this? Figures it would be Germany leading the charge in something this corrupt. Is this happening in other EU countries as well?

Edit: I'm an idiot. I'm halfway through the documentary now and realized this is about fracking in the US FOR the EU that made buying pipline gas from Russia illegal. Instead we're forced into buying 6x more expensive US gas. Heavy industry is dead, some of my friends are out of work. Enjoy the pollution. At least it's not just the EU population that is getting the shaft by US industrialists.

Using the 3D browser would be akin to saying "That's Linux" upong seeing a Compiz cube a few years ago. I mean, yes, it would be technically correct, but not a defining term for deeply knowing Linux and its intrinsics.

I think his message is targeting a bit deeper than that.

If I had so sum it up (always hard with an allegory):

Developing superhuman AI is a game you can only play once and can expect to lose without ever having a good understanding of how, why or even when you lost.

The suggestion is (like in the movie Wargames) that the best move is not to play.

I'd say the child in the story is mankind. Developing strong AI is the game. It's a game we can expect to lose.

Capability based security would be nice, but nobody is going to use it because it requires all software to be at least partly rewritten.

If we could introduce these kinds of fundamental improvements at the base layer of OSes we would not need containers, orchestrators, or virtual machines. We could just fix the OS to have all the necessary controls, fault tolerance, and other abstractions and “do it right.”

There was a serious effort to do this in the 90s with things like Plan 9, the JVM, and Mosix among other things. Its all dead.

Containers, VMs, overlays, orchestrators, etc are all hacks because we are permanently stuck with 1970s OS paradigms due to sunk cost.

Edit: forgot to mention async programming and/or green threads like goroutines. Those are a massively complex and costly hack to get around the fact that both OS concurrency APIs and OS I/O APIs are 1970s relics. You should just be able to spawn threads and you should have native zero copy event driven I/O, but again we can’t fix the foundation.
I think the subtitle summarises it pretty good: "If it looks like a job, and is supervised like a job, it'll be classified as a job". The bullet points down the article make it even clearer.

Freelancing implies some independence/freedom which most uber or deliveroo drivers don't have in practice.

For example in France you can't declare yourself as a freelancer if you have a single client which dictates your working hours and employs you for very loosely defined missions, because for all intent and purpose you'd be an employee.

I wonder if the answer here is LGPL?

Still permissive enough for the goals of Incus and for anyone using it as a component. You can even use the LGPL code in the AGPL build of LXD fine. But if they want to release a proprietary build containing the LGPL code, the LGPL code needs to be held at a bit of arms length, so it could be used as a library in proprietary code for example, but couldn't have patches intermingled and incorporated wholesale into it.
Reading the story and looking at Jovian being a platform for working with python notebooks I can relate to authors use case. And this also doesn't appear to some random hack brought to decimate the code base - Ita someone who has worked on this stuff since 2019 so should be aware of the importance of things deleted.

Their approach is quite reasonable as a starting point. Make non breaking product change and see what happens. You may be amazed what (doesn't) happen.
It's not mainly dumb users, it's users when they're tired, distracted, or ill. Everyone gets like that and some safeguards make sense.

>Plenty of sub 28nm chips Fabs are inside EU.

Which are those "plenty" sub-28nm fabs exactly?

AFAIK only Global Foundries Dresden goes down to 22nm and 12nm, and I think that's by far the most cutting edge fab currently in EU, making the Ryzen IO dies and other such things.

But even TSMC's future Dresden fab starting construction next year(hopefully) will start making mostly automotive chips for NXP, Bosch and Infineon chips at 28nm and 22nm all the way in 2027(!), with plans to go to 16nm and 12nm in the further future.

Your view on EU cutting edge semi fabrication seems very optimistic.
i guess this chip is not for high end gaming machines or servers, but rather cars, industrial machine controlling, smart fridges, that kind of stuff. during covid production of many appliances ground to a halt because of various chip shortages. now what if for some reason asian chips became unavailable in europe (wars, natural catastrophes, ...)? cheap and easy to build is far more important than high end performance here.
Yeah, it seems like their "slow burn" strategy is seeing dividends in a very deliberate way. I don't know that we'll ever get a "tipping point", and I know that the platform will never be "good", but it definitely seems like it will have its fair share of the social media pie sooner, rather than later. The NBA stuff is interesting because I was thinking that as soon as threads could market itself as valuable to sports (my thought was the NFL), then they would be in a great position to siphon that remaining traffic away from twitter.

Feels, to me, like in two years twitter will feel more like 4chan (pretty close now), threads will feel more like a disneyland/facebook/corporate version of dorsey twitter, and mastadon will go on feeling like the yahoo-era tumblr until the next major upset.

I'm really hoping that federated solutions come up with something so compelling that everyone just switches over, but I feel like we're past that point with this latest social media shakeup.
I think the parent means that the mean time between podcast deletions is two weeks, not that they are spread exactly two weeks apart. If the deletions are random but on average every two weeks, then your frequency spectrum will show nothing meaningful either.
Ye this is a terrible way to do refactoring. And I mean, "page visits"? In theory all users could be affected by the removed features.

The 0.1% and 99.9% are not complements!

"Data driven" development is so much BS since so many devs don't care to think properly about sampling and statistics.
Not in any meaningful sense. Criminal liability goes to officers of the company and they call the shots.

You’re likely thinking of civil infractions.
I would say yes, depending on the child. Monitored of course.
That “sounds” a whole lot like “water has memory” quackery.

I don’t want to dismiss it off hand because there’s all sorts of funky things out there, but “information encoded radiation” is something that I’d be pretty immediately and heavily skeptical of.

Ledger Wallet's LedgerHQ/connect-kit hit by supply chain attack
We have a linux user self-serve page where we can reset our passwords when they expire. The catch is we never use said password because all logins are done with keys but you can't login if your password is expired. So imagine someone "data-driven" getting rid of that page because it is rarely used.

Why do the passwords expire if they're not used? "best practice"

Best Student Cities in the World 2023
The most productive teams I've run have been when using OKRs or OKR-like schemes.

They're hard to get right though. Its easy to add too much process, make planning too much of a burden, or not regularly check-in.

One concept that's helped lubricate things is "task-relevant maturity", which I first heard about in Andy Grove's _High Output Management_. It's a gross phrase but essentially means to that people who could accomplish a goal in their sleep need less help than someone who is facing something new. Accordingly, I've cut more slack to the former when laying out OKRs.

Its hard to overstate how valuable that is. Senior engineers who've been in the same space for eons chafe at having to do the same pedantic things as a junior engineer, and rightly so--they've seen a million managers and fads come and go.

To the point of the article I _really_ like the concept, but I'm wary of demanding another step for fear that it won't take. Usually I try something out by myself but keep it optional for a year or two---or forever.
The real question is whether or not we will get quality reporting from the courts! Hopefully someone goes to jail over this.
Apple Maps has high-level view capability, and also the option to download areas for offline viewing/directions. When you zoom out, it'll show you the borders of the offline-available area.

Obviously satellite imagery and traffic data doesn't work, but viewing the map, and getting directions within the offline-capable mode do work.

Furthermore, with data turned off, cities and highways for places outside nominated areas work too.

For example, I have no offline maps for anywhere in Europe, but I can see a map of UK to a scale where the little distance gauge shows 100km, and it shows cities (and highways between) such as London, Leeds, Sheffield, Liverpool, Guilford, Cardiff, etc.

Is there any purpose to brainwaves, or are they just a side effect of communication between neurons through axons?
The problem is that they don't contribute nearly as much to the system and they're in very precarious situations: no contribution to retirement, no paid vacations, no parental leave, no unemployment benefits, &c.

It really depends on how you see the problem, from the individual perspective or from the community perspective. In the short term individual POV gig work is amazing, in the long term community POV it's disastrous

Things like this give a good overview of the problems being face in productionising ML:

https://research.google/pubs/whats-your-ml-test-score-a-rubr...

Note they start to discuss things like unit testing, integration testing, processing pipelines, canary tests, rollbacks, etc. Sound familiar yet?

The same author has also written this book:

https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/reliable-machine-learni...

I don't see a software engineer's skills becoming redundant in this field, especially if you have a good level of experience in cloud infra and tooling. It seems more valuable that ever to me (e.g. I have worked with ML Researchers who don't grasp HTTP let alone could set up a fleet of severs to run their model developed entirely in Jupyter Notebook).

I have found it helpful to equate myself with the correct tools and terminology in order to speak the right language - there's specific tools lots of people use such as Weights & Biases for "Experiment Tracking", terms like "Model Repository" which is just what it sounds like. "Vector Databases" (Elastic Search had this feature for years), "Feature Stores" - feel familiar to big table type databases.

Reading up on a typical use case like "RAG - Retrieval Augmented Generation" is a good idea - alongside starting to think about how you'd actually build and deploy one.

Above all having a decent background in cloud infra, engineering and how to optimise systems and code for production deployment at scale is a very in demand at the moment.

Being the person helping these teams of PHDs (many of whom have little industry experience) to productionise and deploy is where I am at right now - it feels like a fruitful place to be :)
The term of art is "embodied intelligence". https://www.nature.com/articles/s42254-022-00481-z

Mildly woo. Lots of crossover with the soft sciences and liberal arts here.
I think that part is actually explained:

- the storm evacuates most people, essential staff only

- Nedry deliberately creates the IT emergency situation to lock out the other IT people still on the island

- The book has more details about how the IT system was over budget/rushed/flawed as another example of the hubris of the whole endeavor.

The book has a detail I especially liked: theres an automatic dinosaur counting system but it was written such that it stops counting once it finds all of the expected dinos (because the spec said they couldn't reproduce), which delayed them realizing that the dinosaurs were actually mating and in a bunch of places they weren't supposed to be. Classic example of a bug caused by software working correctly exactly to the spec.
Be careful what you wish for. The (nonhuman) animal world is much more ruthless than the human one, despite all our own ruthlessness.

I might consider using it but still you have to have an Instagram account.
"Cleaning up your code base to accommodate all the gradual accumulation of small fixes/hacks is not something you can put a metric on" - why not? generally the need to refactor is driven by something - getting too hard to make changes? productivity down? introducing more errors then we used to? In those cases improving productivity or reducing errors is the result we're targeting, and cleaning the code is the activity we do to achieve the result.
Can someone else smell BS? 50K deletions in 3 days? It will take atleast a month just reading 50K lines, let alone understanding what they do and figuring out how deletion will affect the system.

> Those cheap clothes are subsidized by slave labor and pollution.

Yes, if something is cheap, it must necessarily have been produced by either (1) a person who wasn't paid very much ("slave labor"), or (2) a machine (which means pollution).

Is the conclusion that it's bad for things to be cheap?
