Is it that the people who keep going find ways to enjoy it, or that the people who find ways to enjoy it keep going? Your comment seems to imply a certain causality that I do not find immediately convincing.
Yes. The military mainly use obsolete equipment when compared to civilian standards because reasons. There is no military angle to this at all other than maybe the hope of making diplomatic relations worse to bring one.

I don't think you can fault your distro because Nvidia in general is a mess. Here's how it works:

* Kernel -> Nvidia shim -> nvidia binary driver

* You upgrade, you get a new kernel, the shim needs to be recompiled (ideally automatic using dkms)

* This fails for some reason due to missing kernel headers, some weird compilation bug, etc. You end up with a black screen.

Ideally Nvidia just open sources and upstreams their driver, like AMD and Intel have done. I know they've been making steps, but there's nothing the Linux world can really do to solve this outside of trying to make a good open source driver like nouveau. But nouveau can only be developed using reverse engineering because Nvidia refuses to provide public detailed documentation on their cards.
> The whole point is the statistical relevance of it on accessing such a risk - not it being some kind of absolute law.

Someone letting the whole point fly over one's head again. You have no statistics! You're just using some empty law to support lazy thinking

> to the lack of absolute guarantees

That's just your second straw man. I know these "laws", were they true, wouldn't be absolute. You just can't understand that you don't have any data to support your claim, so when I point that out, you mislead yourself into thinking I demand absolutes
>Both of these stories involve using the art to the same degree

"the art" -> the art you made that you have rights to use, or "the art" that someone else made that you don't have rights to use?

>It’s just a matter of whether you needed a human in the middle

No, your story was you made totally new art that you had rights to use to train your AI. It's not a human in the middle, its a human author who allows you to use the art at all. If the "human in the middle" in round two didn't give you the rights you couldn't use those either. The human is doing the authorship of the work and also allowing or not allowing you to use it. They aren't in the middle, they're 100% of the issue and the difference between allowed and not allowed, human authored or not human authored.
JSON is superior imo, works with multiple clients, but if you insist on server side rendering why not use your servers built in method, e.g. Django templates?

A well made SPA can work offline and doesn’t have most of the typical disadvantages with respect to routing and redirects.

That being said, people should obviously use what they prefer. It’s interesting how these things have become a sort of holy war.
What is the appeal of reading biography? Personally I’ve never understood it.

Biographies of historical figures can be interesting to me not for the person themselves but as a vehicle to describe the society they lived in. Thats what makes Plutarch’s “lives” dull but a biography of Cicero interesting (to me).

But a recent or even contemporary figure? Yawn.

Perhaps there’s something insightful that I don’t get?
This is what I just said. Then we agree on that matter.

> It's a different mindset and one that is no longer useful.

I disagree. Sure, 6 bytes is approximately free in most contexts, but 100MB is not free, and 5GB is even less free.

But more importantly, writing code under constraints can force good behavior. For example, BIOS is a legacy mess but it’s a small, self-contained legacy mess that fits in a few kB. Compare to UEFI, which is unbelievably complicated and bug-ridden. A mess like UEFI could not have fit within the constraints of BIOS.

This is not to say that writing obscure code to save a couple bytes of source file size is at all worthwhile any more, but the idea that one should constrain bloat (design bloat, code bloat, executable bloat, network bloat, etc) is very much still valuable.

> Audiobooks ... Good narrators can cost a fortune

To be specific, between $200 and $300 per finished hour, and a finished hour is about 9,000 words. It can cost more if you want two or more narrators to handle male/female parts (there's a lot more editing involved).

I know at least one self-published author who does create audiobooks for some of their works, but does so at a loss. Even at $15 per audiobook sale (through bookfunnel, so there's little overhead), making back the $3k they pay for the narration is a pretty high bar for a relatively niche market.

> Any reasonable risk assessment will conclude that the probability of an exploitable arithmetic bug or timing leak or randomness-usage mistake in the UltraKEM software is higher than the probability of such a exploit in the X25519 software.

It seems strange to pit a specific classical algorithm against a general-case PQ algorithm made up for the sake of argument, it feels like a bit of a straw man.

I've written hobbyist-grade implementations of both X25519 and ML-KEM-768 (aka Kyber). All other things being equal, I think arithmetic bugs in X25519 are more likely, given that it uses 255-bit integer arithmetic, requiring a custom bigint implementation if you want peak performance. Doing 255-bit arithmetic that is both fast, and provably does not contain limb overflow edge-cases (to name just one possible bug class), is hard. At the very least, it's not something I'd trust myself to be able to do.

On the other hand, Kyber arithmetic all fits within standard register sizes, without needing to split things up. This doesn't make it immune from arithmetic-related issues (as KyberSlash demonstrates), but it's probably easier to get right overall.

I agree that for the time being, the average X25519 impl will be significantly more trustworthy than the average Kyber implementation (or any other PQ construction), due to its maturity, but it seems dishonest to imply that PQ algorithms are inherently harder to get right.

Despite this, I am broadly in favour of Hybrid schemes. It seems like the anti-hybrid stance is mostly coming from large slow-moving orgs - sucks to suck, but don't let your unagility hold the rest of us back!

The root cause is that social media apps are designed to be addictive whereas other software is not.

One would think with all of our crazy AI and supercomputers and quantum computers that a team would give it evolutionary goals of just trying simulations of molecular combinations to reach superconductivity. Sure, it'd be one thing to make it in a computer, and making the materials in the real world is quite another but I'm kind of shocked no one has come forward with something yet. I saw simulations of whole viruses running on a cluster of computers where they test drugs out and how they interact with the virus and simulated human cells so one would think its something with enough effort would be possible?

Drilling to the depth needed to get high enough temperatures for energy generation can be hard. Depending on how active the area is. Iceland, which has tons of heat close to the surface can do it with relative ease. But elsewhere you may have to be drilling far deeper through much harder rock to get there. In some locations you may have to drill down many km at 10s of meters per day through the hardest rocks. It could potentially take months to hit the right depth.

You also need materials to ensure that the well doesn't collapse on itself, and stuff like that as well. I would expect the hole itself should have an extremely long lifespan, but I don't really have much to back it up.

Its not for electric generation, but for Geo HVAC the ground loop itself has a 50 year warranty and quoted 150+ year lifespan. The house will probably be long gone before the loop would go bad.

> As usual, we managed to get administrative access to the domain controller

As usual? Is that the state of Windows Server security these days? I never managed a Windows-based network so I have no idea. I heard about these things back in the 2000's but I'm surprised this is "usual".
If you’re willing to implement your own mutex, it actually is possible to enforce! You could make disabling interrupts emit a token and then require the mutex to accept that token as a parameter to its locking behavior.
Good thing you reminded me of context menus when right clicking on files. Now everything that was easy with one click requires two and you get some useless options instead. I forgot about it because I was able to find a hack to bring the old menu back. Hopefully it survives at least a few updates.

>> the only thing of size that pops up on mine is the start menu. Unless that's the new search thing I disabled.

They call it "taskbar" and I guess that's what you mean by "start menu". I use the word toolbar because it's equally useless for anyone who has a keyboard. Anyway, the obvious behavior of "hide it and keep it hidden unless I press Windows key" is of course not an option. It just needs to be there all the time to randomly mess up whatever you are doing when clicking around bottom of the screen.

>>I haven't seen any ads in the OS... maybe a OneDrive one?

There are at least a few places in the system settings where instead of showing you options there is "One Drive", "Try Office" or Windows Store or Edge on most of the screen.
Thanks for reminding me of that page. I remember already having seen it, the memes at the bottom are hilarious, maybe I should read the essays too.

I get that this is the authors guild and activism and lobbying is literally their job, but statements like "survey finds that median book and writing-related income for authors in 2022 was below the poverty level" are meaningless.

What makes one an "author" exactly? Publishing a book? I can do that in 5 minutes online with 3 clicks. Does that mean I qualify for the survey? Well, I made $0 from my writing last year, so I guess that means I'm being exploited and the government isn't properly valuing the essential contribution I make to society. I'll expect my weekly check in the mail.

It's like saying the average software developer makes below-poverty wages from their work...if you consider everyone in the world with an idea for an app in their head to be a software developer.
I grew up on Windows as well, starting with Win 3.0. I switched fully to Linux in 2010, but have still usually had at least one Windows machine in my life. Windows is really pretty damn good, and if they would just stop trying to force things on users (MS accounts, Edge browser, etc) and stop trying to further monetize the system (ads), it would be a really compelling option. I spent a total of 24 months on macs, and like you, when your preferred workflow doesn't match Apple's opinion of the correct way, macOS is like cement blocks around your ankles.
In my country this would be illegal without consent. That is also applying to devices that are only permitted to be used for work. But if an employee still uses it for private stuff like doing private transactions or logging into their private facebook account, it still will be a privacy violation if IT catches any of the private data. It still is protected data.

Doesn't sound intuitive perhaps, but the law is actually quite ingenious. Wouldn't have though someone would come up with it in our digitally third world country. These laws seem to be lucky accidents though.

Still, your assumption is the only healthy position to take nowadays, regardless of country or legislature.

The demand side is also that for people who do read their spending may be down. I used to buy roughly $400 in books a year. I now buy maybe 1 book a year and subscribe to kindle unlimited for everything else. I don't think I'm reading much less but authors are certainly making less per read, especially since 30% of my spend on KU goes to Amazon and any book that has a publisher still needs to give the publisher their cut out of the remaining 70%.

> Frankly it's pretty objectifying to suggest the only reason people choose to wear skimpy clothes is to get laid, and the only reason they wear conservative clothes is to remain celibate.

I don't see where parent suggested that as the "only" consideration people make when choosing clothing.

People interested in sex dress very differently to when they aren't interested in sex. That's a very different claim to "people's choices in clothing is driven only by interest in sex."

Parent is correct, though, there is an overwhelming body of evidence that people behave and groom themselves differently when looking to hook up.

GC is intrinsically bounded by the amount of memory available. GC is also about deciding what to evict albeit the heuristic used to determine that is based on current use rather than frequency of use.

dotnet runtime GC is interesting for caching, because it has multiple generations for the GC. Each time there is a GC the survivors are moved to the next generation. Moving most used items to the next generation and looking in the later generations first when resolving could be pretty quick.

Bitcoin sounds like the absolute worst thing to buy with excess electrical production. But desalination sounds like an excellent thing to buy. Silly is not the word I'd use.
So many misconceptions in the same answer. eBPF is for observability, and letting you run privileged programs inside the kernel space (even with protections) can actually increase the potential attack surface. Containerization is not and was never a security measure.

The books "The Barbell Prescription" and "Practical Programming for Strength Training" contain a lot of info on how to branch out from the novice program. The latter contains a small section on lifting for sports, while on his podcast Rippetoe emphasizes that you do general strength development for any sport and spend the rest of the time practising that sport.

When Valve announced the Steam Deck, I decided to bite the bullet and move from Windows 10 for gaming and MacOS for personal use and development to a unified Arch KDE Plasma desktop. I now also have a steam deck, which makes for a nice, consistent experience when traveling with it and docking in desktop mode. It certainly made me realize that gaming on Linux was viable, which allowed me to discover that the entire OS was not only usable but provided a better experience than I had on Windows or Mac. So you can attribute at least one conversion, and that was before I ever picked up a steam deck. I have been happily using Arch with KDE since the second half of 2021 now.
Like what? I'm genuinely curious.
