> you deprecated achievements like oberon as 'mere software'

This is a straight-up intentional misrepresentation of what was said. It was in response to your claim of Kent Beck's achievements and nothing whatever to do with Wirth's.

If that is what you understood then you need remedial English comprehension classes.

“New realms of advancement” could open up because of faster computation algorithms. Those hypothetical scenarios don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
It gives you a whole new dimension of pain if you are laid off.

Dae – A Linux high-performance transparent proxy solution based on eBPF
802.11ah has seemed to be a kind of weird in-between. It was made to be a compete in the LoRa type space but LoRa already provides cheaper to implement hardware that works significantly farther. It is indeed slower but for the target use case of intermittent low data IoT that's usually more than fine... or at least not solved often enough by the realistic throughputs of actually low powered 802.11ah devices to create a significantly larger market.

What I mean by actually low powered 802.11ah is most of the time people 347 Mb/s max speed, ignoring that's peak for for a 4x4 16 MHz channel. That's almost a different world, not even high performance laptop chips find 4x4 worth the power budget, let alone something built for IoT. If you go to the real IoT client hardware in a realistic use case of 1x1 8 MHz suddenly your realistic goodput of 10s of megabits per second but that doesn't really enable too many additional use cases and comes with the aforementioned loss of coverage area and efficiency (it's more efficient than normal Wi-Fi but it's still Wi-Fi based).

Take that into consideration and what you have is a bunch of people getting excited about high speed 900 MHz when the standard was actually designed around IoT use case and demand, losing out to competitors which do it better, cheaper, farther, and came first.

Related: There are bunch of other weird sub 1 GHz standards from 802, even some under 802.11. They tend to take advantage of the TV spectrum. I don't think any have been popular, partially because that's a more complicated spectrum to participate in.

I'm not really sure what you are strongly disagreeing about.

The cat is out of the bag. Don't want to use python? You've got perl. PHP. And those are just the ones installed by default. Don't like that? You've got bash and zsh.

> Apple wants you to buy your code, and if you want to write code, to use the languages they are in control of as a separate download.

I haven't seen Apple putting a barrier up to running ANY other code beyond Swift/ObjC, have you? Because I've never had any issue on MacOS running golang, python, or basically anything else I could dream of, especially once homebrew is installed. I build code on an M2 mac on Python 3.12 basically every day.

On linux, you can't even install packages on many distros without python. On Windows, you have similar stuff installed, as well as things like Powershell.

The point is, all this software exists because the variety in programming languages makes creating apps of all kind more approachable to the normal person. No longer do you need to know ASM or C to make a functional app for anything you want.

I'm just saying that it's a bit disingenous to say anybody would have problems accessing a compiler of some sort on a modern system, and there are multiple functional ones often installed by default.

I wonder how big is modern 64bit cpu stack.

In practical terms, I would consider it infinite. I doubt that we'd ever get to the point where we'd need even one-gigabyte of stack-space. And most modern machines have many, many gigabytes of RAM, as well as terabytes of disk storage that can be used as swap/stack/heap/cache space.

Sums can be solved at a character level (you can only carry 10, so that's doable). Anything more complicated solved at a generic level would require the network to either model the operation itself, or work recursively. So you either get an imprecise floating point math with noise from the model itself, or a recursion limit that works mostly on integers.

Basically, if you can write the list of operations and base it on digits, the network can learn to replicate that. Actual calculation on values - not really. You can tell which mode is used by using large random numbers and seeing what kind of error happens. Missed digits - it's not actually doing the calculation.

Also, we don't know how much gpt4 cheats at math. OpenAI may be replacing those bits with external calculation.

It's not wrong. Linux does not have a great security track record, it was built on completely different security principles than the ones we have today. You can find public criticism from Theo de Raadt and grsecurity if you want to find out more.

It's a kernel that has served us well, especially considering its ubiquity, but it will never be a "secure" kernel.
I don’t want to “own” it. I want to reward the compiler. You suspect incorrectly.
It is basically a teleological and short-sighted narrative: everybody was living in darkness until a handful of people plucked Enlightenment out of thin air.

My point is not to disparage the contributions of those great scientists, but rather that they were working on a specific cultural and technological context, leveraging advances that others before them had taken centuries to develop. It is only because we usually take all that previous knowledge for granted that the contributions of early modern scientists seem to have come out of nowhere.

Everything is relative of course but it's a consensus view in OS literature that the Unix family of operating systems doesn't have strong security. There's a huge TCB in which bugs lead to vulnerabilities with high probability, as we see all the time.

This is why eg cloud providers don't rely on the OS to isolate customers from each other.

Since the reneissance of virtualization, many security focused systems have built on that, like Qubes OS, seL4-based virtualized systems, etc.
I've still found the best 900 MHz IoT radios to be LoRa radios that let you operate in raw radio mode instead and are basically 900 MHz USB to wireless-serial adapters. I bought several LoStiks back in the day and that's primarily what I did with them. More for true IoT use cases than trying to cram data over the smaller unlicensed sub 1 GHz bands though.
Doing a bit of research I found a few sources that say that the terminal velocity for a generic smartphone is ~20-40mph, which isn't that much. Lots of phones survive car crashes with higher speeds than that. Add to that landing on softer soil and maybe even breaking fall with branches and I'm not shocked it survived.

No screen crack is pretty good though. Smartphone screens have gotten crazy good recently

We don't actually know that children were barely affected by covid. Covid is a pretty unknown disease in the long term. It could be like chicken pox which looked harmless in children until a few decades later with shingles. Maybe we'll find out that having young co-relates with later adult outcomes like how having multiple serious bouts of the flu qas corelated with mental decline. We don't even know if covid would be like the flu when it first appeared where future waves would be worse in children. It's best to be cautious with a disease that still hasn't settled into a stable form.
GitKraken has a dropdown menu that appears whenever you drag and drop if it involves two elements (ie merge, rebase, create GitHub PR), as well as right click if you're operating on one element (ie creating branch/tag here, reset soft/hard). Double left-click to checkout a branch. There are big buttons at the top for fetch/pull/push, and when staging a commit there's a clean and focused view for choosing which hunks to stage. Basically all needed operations can be initiated with minimal mouse actions, and anything destructive has a confirmation.

Fairly extensively.

`git add --patch` (the way I usually do it) is good enough when you’re adding parts and know what to do in the future. Recently, though, I’ve been using lazygit's ability to create a partial patch from a commit and effectively split the commit into two or more parts. This lets me take a larger set of commits and turn it into something that is easier to review (it’s sort of a hyper interactive rebase where you can add or remove lines, files, or trees into each patch).

I wouldn't even think of doing this without lazygit (and if gitui is ever at par with lazygit for this, I might switch).
At a long-ago job, a person cleverer than me wrote a bunch of classes for expressing sets where the members of the sets could change later.

The specific use case was for serializing objects into a database containing sets of countries, because sometimes countries merge or split or rename themselves, that kind of thing, and he wanted to be able to express, for instance, “every country except Japan”. You could write ExSet([“JP”]), serialize that to the database, deserialize it later, and check whether `“GB” in ExSet([“JP”])`, that kind of thing.

It knew that ExSet([“GB”]) | InSet([“BR”]) simplifies to just ExSet([“GB”]), because “all countries except england” logical-or’ed with “just Brazil” was equivalent to the former.

It knew that ExSet([“GB”]) | ExSet([“JP”]) simplifies to just ExSet([]) “all countries”. It knew pretty much all the logical operations, too.

It was neat, but the implementation was too math-y and not performant enough, and... countries just don’t change often enough for all the complexity it added. But, I now I can say that I used the concept of intensionality on the job.
If you try and prevent any usage of the phrase/snowclone it will only ever be an explicit reference to Trump's usage though. This is why I made the comparison to slurs against the LGBT communities earlier. If you only ever allow "gay" to be used as an insult instead of a self-identifying label that means it will only ever be used as an insult. This is why the reclamation of it as a self-identifying label was so huge in the 1990s/2000s and calling everything "gay" as an insult largely fell out of common vernacular. By refusing to allow it to be an insult it eventually ceased being one even if it took the better half of two decades. I'd rather see "make X Y again" used everywhere until it has nothing to do with Trump anymore and is just a cliché snowclone. Even if that means seeing it in my tech news ("Make Linux Fast Again" is/was another one). Even if it takes the better part of 10-20 years to make it cliché/generic enough to no longer remind people of Trump.

You are correct that I misidentified you - and I understand your point in the latter paragraph about it being more of an annoyance of politics overstepping into your unrelated Tech news rather than "Ugh, Trump". I'm glad I was able to get my point across clearly and as long as you understand where I am coming from we can absolutely disagree over my opinion on the matter. After all - it is just an opinion.

One positive aspect of the status quo in the United States is that AI-generated images are not currently eligible for copyright. I think this is a great direction to go in, I highly doubt Wizards of the Coast or whoever is going to want their premium products to lose copyright protections, so they'll need to keep paying artists. I'd love for us to lean into this -- you can make all the AI art you want, but it automatically gets a Creative Commons ShareAlike-style license!

Does anybody know a dumbphone that also has reproducible open software builds?

I've tried out a lot in the past, including FirefoxOS, KaiOS, and Bada based ones...but all of them are not as open as they claim to be. If they are open source, it's usually just the UI which is useless without the firmware and drivers.

I would love to get a dumbphone again and hack around in it, and I saw a lot of potential in the "bananaphones" but they are more in the state of legal grey area to hack with secret GSM codes and DRM bypasses and exploits etc.

KaiOS was very nice as a daily driver, even with T9 keyboard, because the occasional quick mobile internet address lookup worked, too. They also have some kind of deal with meta regarding whatsapp, and a special WhatsApp client that works, so you are not "that isolated" while still ditching all the social media apps.

The general issue with KaiOS is that it only works with Firefox pre-quantum, which has so many SSL related problems that you literally have to fork the very old codebase just to get the devtools/debugger working. It's a shame, really.
