Recently I saw a swarm of ads on X for crypto scam or an adult site thing. It's like you will see only a single advertisment everywhere on X. Not like multiple advertisement changing all the time.

Also a lot of fraud likes or spamming referral posts.
What is shitty is that you report them 5 times and still it is displayed again. Always with the exact same message so it should be easy for X to filter.
Kind of irrelevant to reducing aviation emissions, given that people only pay for air freight when speed is a priority.
Admittedly nothing too impressive. Common sedans and SUVs. Several models of Toyota Corolla, a Land Cruiser, a VW Polo, Renault Zoe, Nissan Terrano II, Nissan Rogue, Prius, Mazda 2, Mazda 6, Dodge Charger, Hyundai Accent, Kia Nero. Bunch of others I'm forgetting; definitely no luxury brands. A couple of motorcycles, and a tank, once.

If I were editing this article, I would tell the author to remove the entire paragraph leading up to this snippet. Why would you insert a section that's so bs that even you immediately criticize your own point?

Truthfully, I read this article and came away with the conclusion that writing code is nothing at all like writing prose.
I suggested, I didn't recommend. I chose my words carefully. Under the condition that the person believes open source is the right thing to do.

You need to believe in what you do when you start a company.

I also suggest based on the fact that I do work for such a company, which has been successful. Next year is its 20th anniversary. It's an amazing place to work at. You can create amazing work environments out of open source. And while it's quite rare, it's also far from being the only one.

Another commenter says that I seem to ignore the consequences of a failure. I don't. However, I'm surrounded by open source companies and they all seem to be great places to work at. Join us!

When you believe in open source, being able to work in agreement with these values is amazing. I can't imagine how stronger that must be for the one would indeed founded a whole business like this.

It's time people stopped spreading this belief that open source and sustainable business cannot go together.
But we want the things they manufacture. I'm arguing for sharing the agency, not putting it all on the UK and others. The climate doesn't care about borders. There's a global demand for manufacturing, we just don't want it in our own backyards.
Just wait a couple of years and all these "tech workers" at big tech firms will be replaced with AI.

In our company, it's all about hitting the deadlines. It's cool because no one's clocking our hours, but miss a deadline and, whoops, you could be out the door. I totally dig this style – it's modern, bendy, and keeps us on our toes. Totally different from the 19th-century industrial routine of '8 hours a day' work style.
You’re not wrong, it’s just not how technology tends to develop. We always go with “good enough for now.” Even if some people understand in the moment that there is a better way, there is always a tension between goal and subgoal pursuit. Usually, developing IT systems is the subgoal to the domain goal. Once the IT system is “good enough” to accomplish the domain goal, we move on.
I think this applies to Product Companies. If you look at Europe there is very large number of Service Companies developing Open Source and they are doing very well.

The key is - they are Not relying on having some form of monopoly in regards to such software for their success

Domestic aviation is 2% of global emissions. The Paris Accords didn't require any country to accept responsibility for emissions from international flights and only the UK does so (and only beginning in 2023).
There are economies of scale at play here. One large powerplant will be more efficient and easier to maintain than tens of thousand small ones.

Distributed solar is also a regulation nightmare. If there is a fault in a powerplant you have experienced staff on site to deal with the issue. If there is a bug in the firmware of a cheap inverter that is installed thousand of times the owners probably won't even notice until the grid maintainer rings.

(I am pro-nuclear, but definitely not against solar. Still looking at a cheap balcony system once I find some time.)
Seems like you are thinking from the perspective of "internal enterprise app, possibly sideloaded to use inside warehouse", or something along those lines. Those can really look like anything, but there is a high chance it will be designed and tested on a single platform anyway (since the company can purchase specific devices), so why bother with multi platform. I have seen plenty of cases like these in my work, and those apps always suck and are eventually replaced by native ones.

If you are building an app which is supposed to be used by regular end consumers, native is the only real way to go. And as prizzom mentioned, choosing native iOS toolkit is a good idea if you want to sell, because Android users are not very keen on paying for apps.
The problem is that at this point we need to be actually capturing carbon and not re-emitting it.

The only good examples inside of Europe of countries where you can get by train to almost everywhere, in time, are very far and few between.

Switzerland is of course in there, maybe Netherlands, maybe Belgium, not sure about Denmark, certainly not France nor Germany. Rail transport outside of Paris which does not involve the TGV is absolutely crap, meaning expensive (unless you purchase your tickets 3 months in advance or some crazy stuff like that) and it doesn’t get you to where you want, unless you want to get from Paris to one of the big other big French cities, but in that case you’d take the TGV anyway.
And it is their negligence there. It should not be the fault of the prankster who used the Flipper Zero to temporarily crash consumer information devices (people's iPhones).

Some schools ban phones completely. And the school is not responsible if the children can't call 911 if there's some emergency for example.

And some buildings are constructed of materials which will obstruct the mobile signal as well. Nobody is held responsible for that when they can't call 911.

And I believe it's perfectly legal for me to use radio-blocking paint on the walls of my own house, that might obstruct the signals for the neighbours as well, if I'm hypothetically in a weak signal area. In that case the mobile operator has no right to force their signals through my home, it's within my right to block it as long as I don't use any form of illegal jamming.
> It's pointless to call this anything other than source available.

I obviously strongly disagree with this. An FSL licensed project turns into full, undeniable open source after two years.

> Maybe we should call this a "you can have the scraps" license because the project only becomes open source when the developers stop caring about it.

Two years isn’t a lifetime. If there is value left the community has full rights to do something with it. No legal worries can stand in that way. You can even rebirth a new company from that if you so desire.
Oh yeah? Oh yeah!

> there is no wonder why 2 million Palestinians are reluctant to leave their homes again

How do you know they're reluctant ? If Germany called them in like they did the Syrians are you sure none would come? Seems like the vast majority of Syrians in Europe have no intention of going back so its not like Arabs/Muslims are immune to the concept of leaving.

I won't argue that no one will admit to want to leave (Hamas may shoot people even for leaving bombed areas, let alone totally leave the strip), but deep down I won't be surprised if many want to leave. I also won't be surprised if given a safe passage and a visa for them and their families - many would actually leave. Right now Hamas/Egypt won't allow it and probably Europeans aren't too keen on this as well.

> leave their homes again

Btw their narrative is that they're still refugees, so I'm not sure how they can see Gaza as their "home" but also want to "go back" to their old homes in what is now Israel.
Sure, I never said give up on solar, PV, wind, etc. Give up on coal, oil and gas, but carefully consider your options to do so.

My point is even plastic packaging was invented to deal with problems of previous packing techniques namely glass, tin, paper, etc. Now we have a huge plastic environment issues.
It comes closest, although my „vision“ is bigger; I hope it will become feasible to let any device communicate with any other, even classes of devices or sensors that don’t even exist yet.

Aichat: Use GPT-4(V), Gemini, LocalAI, Ollama and Other LLMs in the Terminal
I had the interesting experience of working with a non-tech team for a short period a while ago. I could not believe the pace and lax attitude to work these people had.

When work _was_ done, it was done in the most unoptimised, short-term-thinking way possible. There was seemingly no concern for quality of output (almost presumed that they'd have to do the task again), and deadlines were a vague fairy tale. Most of their time was spent drinking coffee and chatting.

Since then, I've observed that this is just how people work. I had never experienced it because I'd always been in tech, where we actually _like_ what we do.
> privileged access management is the proper way to manage access to a password protected systems

Managing access to privileged systems at scale is hard despite these tools. This isn’t a knock on the tools. It’s a people/risk problem. Eg staying on top of those recorded sessions becomes increasingly difficult over time.

The sustainable way is to work with business and compliance and remove the need for privileged access. It’s doable in many scenarios and leaves a very small “rump” of things that do need privileged access, with all the attendant overhead.

In general, challenging teams to do without privileged access and making it a “last resort” thing is a great idea, depending upon your industry / risk profile.

> Back to my point, even for the power users, how many people will actually fix the drivers/firmware of some hardware they bought? We are in a position in life that is cheaper to just buy new hardware and use that time to learn new things that will pay more in the long term and I personally find we, the linux community are out of touch most of the time with what most people care about.

Assuming you meant Linux kernel specifically, I think you are out of touch how "the linux community" works. Absolute majority of participants are paid by corporations and do what their managers tell them to do. Nobody is just looking to randomly (and for free) improve things average Windows normie would care about.

Understanding algorithm costs can be extremely important when building a simple CRUD app because it will help you reason how things will scale with the size of the data you’ll see in the real world.

Doesn’t mean you need to optimise everything, but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t think about this stuff.

Coal use went UP the last two years, not down. This year it's down, in part due to the recession reducing overall demand. And the recession is in large part due to high energy prices.

Germany has the 2nd highest electricity prices in the EU. AND the 2nd highest CO2 emissions per unit of energy. That's after 20 years of "Energiewende". If that isn't a failure, I don't know what is.

And yes, emissions do go down. It's just that "yes, renewables produce some electricity some of the time" is not exactly success.
T-Mobile will issue a $1k fine for anything that is illegal in even one state.

For example, billboards are illegal in Hawaii and have been since 1920, so if you do anything with a billboard, that is a $1k fine.

Another example, in Hawaii, it is illegal to have more than one alcoholic drink in front of you at once. So if you send a pic like that, it's a $1k fine.

In Hawaii it is illegal to have coins in your ear.

In Hawaii, it is illegal to have a tattoo on your eyelid or behind your ear.

In Hawaii, it's illegal to display captive dolphins or whales. That means almost any depiction of Sea World will get someone a $1k fine on T-Mobile.

In Hawaii, twins are not allowed to work for the same company.

In Texas it is illegal to have wire cutters with you when near ranch land.

We're venturing in the not exhaustively objectively proven benefits and virtues of strong static typing but nowadays I reach for Golang and not for shell scripts (or Ruby, or Python).

Why?

Just today I again had to do Homebrew cleanups so one recipe can install. Likely my fault, 100% sure about it, but I just need non-confusing tools in my life.

...Or I kept grooming my homemade cross-machine provisioning scripts (i.e. install baseline tools like git and a few others, and then bring my up entire environment along) and in the end it still couldn't source a script that is right there in the file system and even after I made sure it got sourced, it still couldn't find the stuff inside it... while all other 20+ such similar `source stuff.zsh` work just fine.

At one point you do get fed up. (And yes I know this is not strictly related to strong static typing; it's just one example of a thing that will reduce bug surface.)

Ruby is easy to write. And that's the problem. People tried to do too much with it. And it's early glory of including a gem that monkey-patches the core library APIs did not do it any favors either.

Nowadays I don't appreciate unbridled freedom as much. I appreciate and even enjoy constructive limitations. Truth is we can be very much like kids and should be protected from harming each other.

But yeah, that's venturing into philosophy which was not the topic.

TL;DR: Ruby is fine but is fairly limited for my taste. My needs are far bigger and they also include maximum 50ms of startup time.
100% agree on the door handles. They're objectively worse than regular old handles. But I got used to them.

I... haven't really heard of anyone else having the roof spontaneously shatter. I imagine my opinion would turn as well. If I hear of more cases I would definitely change my mind and sell.

The UI is terrible, but living where I do there's traffic almost all the time, and I generally go the speed of the car ahead of me, so I'm not really concerned with speeding. I don't mind turning to see the speedometer, my previous car, a Yaris, had the speed display at about the same angle from me.

I haven't experienced lag with the cameras.

Closing the frunk was always easy for me I just lean on the top gently for a second and it latches no problem. I don't use it much though.

CPython seems to use squash merges, which means only one commit will end up on the main branch after merging this PR. The history on branches is irrelevant and can be completely messy, full of merges and other experiments; the main branch has one commit per actual feature/change.

I am not interested in collectibles, I am talking about something much more interesting and practical.

But to entirely dismiss the category because you are only privy to slow & expensive implementations or trivial use cases is like saying no one will fly across the Atlantic or be able to transport heavy goods because the Wright Flyer can barely do 30mph.

There is a fundamental technology here that goes beyond trivial collectibles. If you need examples just ask rather than throw the baby out with the bath water.
I assume in a country of 300 million people, every prescription drug is probably prescribed to someone. I’d say what I take issue with is “regularly”. I’ve known many people who have prescriptions for amphetamine, and zero who ever got a prescription for methamphetamine (though certainly some took it anyway).

The 4000:1 prescription number would seem to corroborate my impression that it is quite rare.
It does wake your partner, though.
...what? Underlying insecurity? You think I'm afraid of computers being smarter than me? Sorry but that ship sailed a long time ago, I can't even beat a chess bot from the 90s.

The fact that someone created a mathematical model does not mean it is accurate, and even if a small piece of our brain might conceptually resemble a ML model that does not mean they are equivalent.

It is an indisputable fact that our brains are completely, fundamentally different from computers. A cpu is just a bunch of transistors, our brains use both electrical signals and chemical signals. They are alive, they can form new structures as they need them.

You can link fancy papers and write condescending replies all you want, fact is ChatGPT fails at extremely basic tasks precisely because it has absolutely no understanding of the text it spits out, even when it contains all the knowledge necessary to solve them and much more.

I'm not saying we'll never make AGI, I'm simply saying LLMs are not it. Not on their own anyway. I don't understand why you people are so opposed to that simple fact when the evidence is staring you in the face.
> As noted in another comment, some of this can be attributed to manufacturing being done elsewhere

This is an excellent point. Are there reports similar to TFA that accounts for this? I mean a report that calculates the total demand a country is putting on carbon emissions (directly or indirectly) will be more insightful.
Not sure if you’re joking, but in a way this feels very true to me. After a decade or so of doing OOP, I started doing a lot of 6502 assembly (for a home brew computer) and not applying OOP principles felt dirty at first. Same as not having 100% (or any for that matter) test coverage. I felt like I was cheating by doing things a simpler way. But then I started to really enjoy it and it felt liberating.
Understandable point but it would seem that the price of natural gas has had a far greater bearing on the economy.

e.g. the "energy price guarantee" of last Winter cost something of the order of ~£30bn to the taxpayer, all due to the national grid's pricing system being largely dependent on the cost of natural gas, and the UK's relatively higher reliance on natural gas for heating.

Yeah, makes sense. That said, (G)GP asked what could be done in raw assembly but not with C + intrinsics.

My point is that conditional moves are one of usecases badly supported by compilers, and that (may) require dropping to assembly.
