A lot of armchair commenters need to realize that commercial planes accept commands; it's up to the pilot to prevent putting the the airplane into an unsafe state. This is actually an important safety feature in itself... being able to override all systems to prevent a catastrophe has happened many times in flight history. For instance, if you need to dodge an incoming collision, you could care less if you might exceed the g-load-rating of the airframe. You might crack something, but it might safe quite a few lives; vs a guaranteed death if you stay on the collision course and can't turn fast enough.

Your experience with technology is consumer safety systems. These are designed so safety systems can't be overriden: the tech is protecting you from yourself.

If you think this is "bad", you really ought to watch the startup sequence of a large commercial airliner. There are lots of things depend on the crew to do the right thing and it literally happens thousands of times a day, every single day, with an accident record that is far better than consumer safety systems.
> Blast them for forbidding competing browsers on iOS.

They allow competing browsers but they have to use the OS-provided JavaScript engine. I guess one could make an argument that allowing third-party engines would encourage innovation in the browser space but at the same time, there is a strong security argument for very narrowly limiting the JIT-code execution entitlement.
What I am saying is that the code is not "locked down" in any meaningful sense, that it is already open source, and therefore that Rocky Linux isn't "freeing" it. I'm not making any statement about their legal rights.

As I commented elsewhere, "RHEL" isn't GPL licensed, the kernel is, and glibc is, and systemd is, etc. Individually.

The sources for all of those packages, individually, are available via CentOS Stream just as they ever were - alongside the sources for packages that aren't GPL licensed, for which there is not actually a legal requirement to distribute sources.

What Red Hat has stopped doing is providing a git repo containing the exact combination of package sources which collectively make up one particular version of RHEL. Instead, all of the sources are still available, but if you want to rebuild the entire distro you need to match up the particular versions with RHEL. And that's exactly what Alma Linux does.
There are thousands of long-haul flights—and something like 100k flights overall—per day. If we're doing 10k+ rocket launches per day, then that's a huge problem. If we're doing 1 per day, it's a rounding error. This is premature optimization.

(Either way, the solution, of course, is a carbon tax to price in the emissions.)
That may be but pasting a quote of a quote just to do some contentless sneering is exactly the sort of comment the guideline is about.

It doesn't seem like it to me. ISTM that they're implying that most sql tools have a gui component which isn't friendly to running remotely over an ssh session.

I've personally never seen a good experience of display forwarding over ssh.

Of course, most people and tools get around this by tunneling a connection to the database over ssh and running the GUI locally.
The way I see it, induced demand is just a way of saying that all modes trend towards equilibrium. If you invest more in trains, they become more attractive, and people gravitate towards them. The same is true of cars, busses, etc... How each mode of transport scales influences whether you want to induce demand for it.

AFAICT trains scale pretty well in terms of space and environmental impact, and point-to-point latency decreases as more trains are run (and transfer times decrease), so it's pretty nice to induce demand for it.

Ah, such rose-tinted glasses!

My first PC - much like the one pictured in the story, had a fan that was spinning 100% of the time, because most PCs then were too primitive to have a temperature sensor that controlled fan speed. And you couldn't hear the hard drive because the fan was so noisy. So much for these performance indicators!

The only thing audible above the loud PC was when the hard drive died, and spent all its time making nasty mechanical clicking sounds. But since the computer had locked up by that point, it wasn't much of a help!
If you provide GPL software to your customers, you have to provide everything they need to build this exact version yourself, not point them at a repo and tell them to figure it out.
The arrow keys seem to be placed for maximum torture, which was pretty typical in the 8bit era.

If you insist on being able to boot the thing up and immediately be self aware, yes, you need to figure out how to construct it so that all the training of 'how to be this particular self aware intelligence' is intrinsic to it, which is a bootstrapping problem.

Human intelligence solves this a different way. It instantiates the architecture without any of the weights pretrained, in the form of a 'baby'. The training starts from there.
> I specifically said drugs, like the kind you see when you pass any alley near Civic Center or downtown SF with dozens of people just laying there and drug dealers with backpacks walking around.

There is a very wide variety of things referred to as "drugs" including ones that are in various ways controlled or illegal, and some that aren't, on a state by state and country by country basis.

The ones you are referring to are a subset, and the addicts who "don't want help" are likely a subset of those users and the only ones you see and take notice of.

So just saying "drugs" is probably over-generalized.
Breach response is different from preventing breaches.
It’s a bit buried but eventually there are references to SOAR and ACT-R which in my crude attempt to broach cognitive architectures were the two I had understood as being the leading models with tangible applied results and working code.

If anybody with an understanding of that field knows some good open source frameworks or libraries I suspect many beyond myself would be interested.

It’s not considered cognitive framework but in applied learning I’ve developed a fascination with MuZero algorithm and also been trying to better understand factor graphs as used in another less know cognitive architecture called Sigma. It feels like some mashup of LLMs, RAG and vector search, cognitive architectures (SOAR,
ACT-R, Sigma), ReACT/OPA/VOYAGER, with proven algorithms like MuZero might be on the verge of producing the next leap forward.
Probably pretty worked up, which is why the headline was phrased that way. If they said something like "Boeing seeks safety exemption for MAX 7 anti-ice system", it would communicate more information about the contents, but readers would be less likely to get mad and thus less likely to click.
If the market was actually open, people would compete on different cuts and the % would eventually drift towards whatever the right number is.

Epic seems to do just fine charging 12% on their PC games store, vs Valve's variable (maximum of 30%; lower for big rich game studios) cut on Steam.

Apple and Google have also both put in place a lower cut for independent developers, which is further evidence that 30% isn't the 'right' number. It's just a number the market has no choice but to put up with.

I certainly don't blame them for wanting to pocket 30% of the filthy billions of dollars kids and gambling addicts pump into stuff like Genshin Impact. That's free money for Apple.
Install using pipx to avoid that. (or virtualenvs directly if you don't mind getting your hands dirty)
This is the problem that 'venv' (virtual environments) was designed to solve.

You can run pip in an isolated virtual environment, in user mode (not as root) - see https://gist.github.com/saurabhshri/46e4069164b87a708b39d947...
I have an EV, but even I think the stats are misrepresented.

Gas cars catch fire pretty often. Yes. But usually they are older cars, and they often catch fire when running or soon after running hard. It is very rare to mildly drive through your neighborhood, park, and then a gas car catches fire.

EVs are catching fire less than gas cars.... That are old and being driven hard. While being new. And parked.

That is a decent difference.
The fact that they do not have a platform agnostic version of iMessage -- even if it requires 2FA from an Apple device like the $1200 iPhone that I was forced to buy -- is utter bullshit. I had to convert my friends one-by-one over to Telegram because I prefer Windows/Linux PCs and I don't really check my phone that much.

I'm knee-deep in Apple's ecosystem, because I like all of their other products, but I can't use iMessage because I prefer to use a PC. This has been a thorn in my side for years.

There can be only one reason that iMessage is available on Apple devices exclusively and it's at least antitrust adjacent. For this alone, I hope they get fined a gigantic amount of money.
Ouch. I forget how mad California is. No wonder rooftop solar is so attractive.

Peak rates are ~20¢/kWh here, but there is a largish fixed per-customer monthly hit for various debts and obligations. And people regularly complain we're the highest cost province in Canada. 70¢/kWh (in BIG dollars!!!) is just insane.
I can't presume to speak for you, so I assume you are experiencing those things as problems.

However, your experience is so far out of the norm that it does not translate to convincing people to buy an EV. For just about everyone who drives, finding a gas stations and filling up is not something that requires planning or mental energy. It's so easy that it's lost in the noise of daily tasks.
Stop, I'm already feeling old.
It's only misleading if you disregard the rest of my comment :-)

You have identified a part of the USA with a decent density of cities - nice! That is exactly what I think. There are pockets where rail makes sense, and should be built up. But even this area is not nearly as dense as Germany, England, Belgium, Italy, etc, so I fail to see why it makes sense to compare this to the EU.
I have no issues with there being manual overrides. I have issues with Boeing cheaping out on design and then whining to ignore safety rules so they don't have to fix their bad design.
If you kept your RHEL 8.x server updated, it would have been on 8.7 for over a year.
depends whether you consider trains rudimentary sentients or not. If the train fails to follow procedure to alert the gut bacteria/engineer every so many minutes, the train runs a higher risk of running into something because the engineer is asleep or incapacitated.

Oxides are incredibly stable chemically. Any further conversion or sequestration process is guaranteed by thermodynamics to be very energy-intensive.
Apple, to their credit, hasn't announcing some generative-AI powered project. Yet. I'd like to think they have an Amish-like attitude to tech fads... hence why they never had a foldable come to market.
Yes it's different, but similar to the comment I replied to in the sense that the machine just turns off if the user is idle for a time.
It wasnt more about solving a $ issue as to morphing their interpersonal behavior over a tab between sisters... (and my personal friction) ((have you met any sisters who are both close and highly successful in different fields)) - sometimes, you just need to leave the room... this was my method of exiting the room of financial "settle up" types of comments - and I had the mortar of dog pics.

So, yeah - but micro tools are a thing.
This is because iMessage (somewhat notoriously) allows not just multiple single identifiers (such as a phone number or email address) but multiple identifiers AT ONCE (such as BOTH a phone number AND an email address)... And all of these are treated differently!

iMessages from the same person will end up in 3 different conversations based on whether they specified (for that conversation) only their cell number as the recipient identifier, only their email address as the recipient identifier, OR BOTH! Which is of course madness. Which is why I tell everyone within earshot to ONLY check off the cell number identifier (even on their non-cell devices) and uncheck ALL other identifiers, for sanity. (This is under iCloud settings somewhere.)

But that explains this. Why is it like this? Well, once upon a time there was the iPod Touch, which had iMessage but didn't have a cell connection or cell radio or cell number (think: kid with an iPod Touch who never had a cell number). Also, Macs have iMessage and don't have those either.
I think I am interested in this, but without a good README.md I am not sure.

> There is not a lot of money in interoperability, so this is not an issue with the technology in itself, but the manufacturers will to implement it.

Based only off how utterly unwilling & uninterested the market seems to be, yeah, I am left with a similar feeling that computing is being hosed by exactly this misaligned incentives.

That Matter, which seemed like an honest effort at damage control to right this, has struggled so mightily (most glaringly when having multiple-controllers for a device), well, that could indicate a lot of things. But there being such a mess of ideas and implementations, and trying to groom it all latter/now, that seems like a foreseeable issue that having a better designed up front interoperable distributed system could have remedied.

DBusSoft to me is this an exciting possibility, trying bolder steps than anything that's been tried since Plan 9. You show how limited & unwilling to consider this are in one word of your dismissal:

> Distributed embedded computing isn't new at all

Sure there's plenty of attempts at distributed embedded systems. One can't help but run into dozens upon dozens of mqtt based schemes or others.

But this isnt a distributed embedded OS. Harmony's distinct ambition, what makes it a new Plan 9 like, is that DSoftBus underpins everything. It underpins embedded devices, the consumer OS, and apps. It harmonizes computing, be those local or far bits of computing; that's the dream at least.

I'm far from confident they'll succeed with Harmony. But I am elated & thrilled to see some deep systematic ideas under the hood of an ambitious cross-modal ubiquitous & pervasive OS.

Who knows how this goes, but the apathy & unwillingness of those who see "not a lot of money on interoperability" has me tired as hell, and it feels like we are stuck with shitty bad mainframes everywhere that the internet dials us into; I am desperate for more, and Harmony has least has some pretense of being a better connected computing. And there's little more I care about than that. Making general purpose computing participatively connected is I think what it takes to awake from this slumber of apathetic cloud computing & make computing compelling & personal again.

If you need anti-competitive tactics or the freedom to violate the law in order to protect your customers I'm not sure you're very good at protecting your customers. And even so, why should I trust you to use your "i'm violating the law for a good reason" blank check responsibly in the future?
every project you have should be in a virtual environment. it is not hard. https://docs.python.org/3.12/library/venv.html

python -m venv ~/my-venvs/<name>

source ~/my-venvs/name/bin/activate

pip install <package>

but stuff like this would usually get installed globally, and your projects would instead have a venv.

personally my favorite tool is pyenv, which allows you to have many versions of python on your machine as well as many virtualenv (which are assigned to any version you have installed)

then it is as simple as

pyenv virtualenv <version> <name>
pyenv virtualenv 3.11.1 xyz

and to activate

pyenv activate xyz

this allows you to keep every project you have isolated not only to the packages required to run it, but also the python version required.

I work on a handful of projects that run on 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12. Each has their own independent python version, and within that version they also have their own python packages (pip environment).

At the end of the day these are simply directories on disk.
Usually the esims you're referring to are data only (have no number). The sim registration requirements throughout the world are only about sims that have numbers attached.
It seems so easy for just one poisoned model (trained with test data) to infect a ton of finetune model mixtures...it could happen without intention.

Under this scenario, the ones that achieve the top performance are the closest relation to the poison model?
> Flying always comes with security hassle

Unfortunately that is not the case, the security theater seems to be slowly contaminating rail too.

The Barcelona->Paris connection has some bullshit security on the Barcelona side (luggage x-ray & plastic trays for laptops), and I think the Eurostar had some of this on the London side too.
I suspect that will do little good. They can just as well (and likely will) force you to register at some point under the threat of disconnecting your service.
The concentration of CO2 is measured in parts per million. Just that simple fact make me believe it is very unlikely there ever is going to be economical to extract CO2 from the atmosphere at any significant scale.
You could totally do it, but if it doesn’t sound interesting I get it :)

WebRTC is made up of composable parts which I really appreciate. Makes it seem more complicated though.

> coupling, decoupling and light guiding elements to divert incident light to a concealed sensor

So, there's a camera in the dash looking up at the windshield and focusing where it expects to see a face, thereby using the windshield as a reflector? And maybe there's some additional etching and deposited films in the windshield to support the angles required?

And perhaps you can put cameras elsewhere, and similarly subtly modify the windshield or other glass to look at other things as well?

Terrible advice. This is like telling people not to use an IDE because auto-complete isn't always right. Or not to use document templates because they aren't finished.

Github Copilot can - in some domains - make me 30% more productive. Once it becomes commonplace and the legal issues are sorted, luddites who refuse to use it will be left in the dust.
This so flagrantly stupid. It's easier to make every KB manufacturer integrate special firmware to have one keypress register as another specific one, rather than plumbing it in as a defined new key that Windows registers a handler for???
The risk/reward of that to me is just ludicrous though. I consider myself pretty damn open minded but I cannot imagine taking that kind of risk to avoid something so utterly benign as being late.
Since the theme is noisy feedback, I have to mention this old project: "Peep (The Network Auralizer): Monitoring your network with sound" (https://web.archive.org/web/20220930162655/peep.sourceforge....), discussed here some time ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33017337).
Well you'd need to know if the customer or the bot is connecting. Both are on the same IP which was my point. Rationally I'd want to block any compromised device regardless of the customer, but it's a complex problem for sure.
No, they ruled that all the factors I cited made Google a co-employer. You can read the original decision by the regional officer here:

https://www.nlrb.gov/case/16-RC-305751

Start with the amended board decision, which clearly delineates why they were employees, and includes all the things I’ve mentioned throughout this thread. The most recent ruling from the NLRB, which is linked in the article, is a follow-up up to this decision because Google subsequently refused to bargain with the union, after they were deemed to be a co-employer. The NLRB asked Google to demonstrate why they don’t have to bargain with the union, Google said they’re not their employees, the NLRB said the regional officer already ruled on this and said you’re their co-employer, Google provided no new evidence to the contrary other than “we say they’re not”, the NLRB said, no, they Regional Director is correct and they are, bargain with the union. Imaginary janitor dude is just having a conversation with himself, independent of the facts of the case.

The journey to Mars is similar in relative technical requirements and time-on-ship to the early European colonization of the Americas.

Probably the biggest difference is the economic opportunity on Mars. The Americas hold abundant resources and hospitable climates, while Mars is shown to be inhospitable. I'm not aware of the proven reserves of economically viable Martian resources.
You can visit 10 countries in 24 hours by train in Europe. It's a challenge but it's possible.

I'm aiming to break my record with 11 countries, but we'll see.

The problem is that even though the balkans are a lot of countries, the rail is very slow compared to going north and east towards Slovakia and Poland.
This isn’t an issue if you use virtual environments. See also pipx for installing isolated Python apps.
