that doesn't follow.

they are waving PRC flags, therefore they are 'patriotic'.

but maybe not members of the CCP, as the poster pointed out.
How common are repos bigger than Linux?

Linux also has the huge advantage of an ecosystem, tools and integrations. It is overkill for small projects and there are friendlier alternatives for those - but git wins because it is what everyone knows. Something aimed at the small number of large projects will suffer the same problem.
Heh, reminds me of the kid safe chats that used to exist more in the past where you could only select from a limited dictionary of words to make sentences. People still found a way to say some pretty terrible things.
The "stop touching her" part was interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65iwnI2hjAA&t=791s

One member of the group of waving the Chinese flag in Brendan's direction. He seems to have touched the flag or put his hand forward to touch the flag. The man with the group starting yelling very loudly "stop touching her". But it wasn't a desperate cry for help, it was very deliberate and forced in a way. He realized all of the sudden he could get Brendan in trouble.

The other members in the group were happily smiling in the background, obviously not bothered by this horrible "touch assault". When police came, the Chinese man immediately ran towards the police to be the first to tell his story.

So there seems to be some awareness that "touching" is not allowed here, but I think with a bit practice they might find out about Streisand effect and filming in public too

I'm thinking about building gadgets that serve parallel functionalities:

1. Relatively small to carry around.

2. Specifically built for one topic of purposes.

3. Can be achieved by a single hacker with on market tools.

What kind of tools have you built for yourself? Here are some examples I have in mind:

Hardware debugging dongles, rom burning boards and of course Flipper zero itself.
Yes, the rules of Dramaturgy. It is not a scientific paper, but at least partly meant to entertain.

And for most people it is very simple - they care about space and its challenges - and then they will read it - or they don't and find something else.
It's kind of tragic when the guy doing this so passionately with so much technical knowledge can't hear past his own level of taste.
Remember we are talking about putting it into the core OS and overall what will the impact be on the stability of said OS. What folks here tend to describe is userspace applications which languages like Go/Java/C#/Erlang/Etc... already solve. In fact, most banks probably already use safer languages for the bulk of the workloads and it works just fine.

I want to point out one more thing: Rust is not a simple language by any stretch. It's equal to in complexity to C++ (yet without decades of established "good practices"). It is much preferable to have an easier to understand core and move the complexity outward—for improved stability and robustness. The core OS by nature of what it does needs to access raw resources in an "unsafe" manner. Rust kernel code will be littered with unsafe blocks and unnecessary complexity.
Hard disagree.

First, when I was flying regularly, it was during the height of the original 737 Max scare, which also occurred within a few years of the CFM56 fan blade problems and the 737NG pickle fork fatigue cracking problem. It was a rough couple of years for the 737 family, yet I didn’t notice any serious uptick in equipment changes, and I was flying on airlines with a bunch of 737s in their fleets.

Second, the idea of some conspiracy involving falsely advertising which airframe an airline intends to use for a flight, which would involve submitting false flight plans and publishing false flight data, is patently absurd to anyone who has been exposed even as an end-user to the tech stack of the airlines, such as it is.

Between getting licensed employees to lie to the government and the airlines antiquated software, I don’t believe they could do what is being suggested, even if they wanted to.

I haven’t owned a printer since early 2000s. The drivers and malware always annoyed me way more than ink prices.

My main print source is occasional business dealings. Just last week I hired a civil engineer for a consult and he sent me a PDF to sign and return. I thought it was archaic, expecting an esign, especially for the small job it was ($1000) but I think he was old school/low tech (even fumbled the Teams meeting invite we had pretty hard) so I just went with it.

This type thing comes up for me 2-8 times a year over the past 20 years. I just use printandgo@fedex.com and make an errand out of it. There’s a few brick and mortar locations near my home and areas I frequent so it’s never too inconvenient. I can sign and scan it back to PDF while there too. Printing alone was never enough for me anyway, so I’d either need to get a print and scan printer or two separate peripherals. Using FedEx costs me about $10-30 a year and just works albeit requires a little logistics on my part.
I agree there’s a benefit.

I’m just saying that Epic is not the underdog little guy some seem to act like they are. This wasn’t a small indie developer sticking up for their rights.
true, they didn't say 'stop filming or we'll break your legs', but it was nonetheless attempt to intimidate.
If that sentiment is common, perhaps HP should be dropping out of the consumer printer market.

(I'm in the same boat: I've heard so much about their anti-consumer practices with printers over the years, I wouldn't even consider other products even if those practices didn't carry over.)
Good thing it doesnt actually trigger it I guess.

Sounds like mine are milder they only last around 5-10mins and I just get the central ring - looks like I stared at a donut shaped lightbulb for too long, and almost never associate with a headache (but sometimes with a hard to describe wooziness).
> The only sane solution are applicances that can be controled locally without an internet connection.

Agreed. I wish companies would take the work already done for them with Matter and just integrate, but if they can't, the least they could do is support the things customers to do the things they want to do.
Fair enough, hurray for anecdata.

My house has cable, but Mom's farm is on satellite (Hughes, then Exede, now Starlink). It's finally acceptable. My understanding is that the county took a RBI grant that was contracted and them absconded with, but I wasn't living here at the time and don't know the details.
I think the more important factor is that with doordash you tip before the services received, instead of after. At least at a restaurant if you receive absolutely horrible service you can cut the tip you were going to leave.
One of the carpet companies I was recommended exclusively makes browns and greyscale. No. NO!

I hate the greypocalypse that has happened. So depressing.
I personally would not bother reading any "the future of X" if it did not address problems of existing tools. I know you're trying to give advice from a marketing pov, and it is good, but it's also inherently bulshitty – because its purpose is to net more sales rather than actually make a good argument
Antagonizing Amazon doesn't seem like a good idea since I rely on them for certain types of products that can't be obtained elsewhere around here.

Also, I don't live in Spain or speak spanish, so that might be a little complicated.

But let's hope this gets solved. Amazon started a new collection for the UPS, but it's the same logistics company and I have yet to hear from them regarding it.
With Git we can work autonomously, fast and distributed. The nice thing about Git is that it works on a B747* and the a cabin in the woods and on a file-server at MIT.

I will not make myself dependent on a proprietary cloud-service which requires an internet connection and reoccurring payments.

* Internet isn’t fast there. If it is available. If it is affordable. If you want ruin the precious time separated from the internet.
No, I am at the point where I'm saying the scaling "laws" will break down.

Especially since there are no scaling laws, it's an empirical observation based on essentially 3 examples - GPT2 to GPT3 to GPT4 (and their rough equivalents from Facebook and Google and a handful of others). This all happened in the span of 4 years or less. We don't even fully know how much larger GPT4 is compared to GPT3.

Not to mention, we already know OpenAI has spent more than a hundred millions of dollars training GPT-4, and they are quite probably selling it at a loss (each query may well cost them more in compute power than they charge for it). So, if GPT4 is ten times bigger than GPT3(.5) as sometimes reported, economics suggest they may already not be able to scale GPT5 to the same extent, and are definitely not going to be able to reach GPT7 (1000 times GPT4, or roughly 100 billion dollars). So, unless you believe compute power will go down in cost massively, or that we are just a factor 10-100 away from human-level intelligence, odds are good we won't see it from this line of AIs in the next 10-20 years.
telemedicine and vr are held high for new infotech since i can remember.

probably because those usecases are generic, futuristic and useless, so they can be employed again and again.
My iPhone SE 3rd gen is bottlenecked by my 500Mb fiber line in speed tests within my office room where the wifi AP is located. My AP is only a wifi 5 device.
Ocular migraines are different from "real" migraines as they dont have the terrible headache that comes with. Just the optical effects.
The challenge to Mastodon isn't adoption, its absense is a symptom of a deeper issue: it's a Very Bad Idea to trust random server operators with both your data and it's sovereignty.

You can take your data to another server only if the original server is up. When the admin forgets to pay the bill and ISP nukes the box and the backups admin said they had don't exist and the coadmin turns out to have no access at all, you lose everything. Ask me how I know.

Self hosting in theory should fix this but it doesn't: it's a resource intensive afterthought because the developers only really care about their Big Instance.
It’s not law, it’s a binding legal agreement.

Counterpoint: WiFi is nice for people in detached houses, but in apartments the spectrum is so crowded that you really want wired connections.
WiFi is substantially faster than wired Ethernet which has stagnated in consumer applications at 1gbps for decades. For example the last time I did a macos migration it chose WiFi despite the wired path being available, and proceeded at greater than gigabit speeds. That's on top of all the convenience.
Ubiquiti did come out with their U7 Pro which is only $189, which is really not bad considering their AC Pro is $149 and their U6 Pro is $159.

I ended up upgrading since I do now have a couple of Wifi 6E devices and I live in a very dense apartment building. The 6 GHz band has been crazy good! With the same laptop, with line of sight to the AP, I'll get 800 mbps on the 6 GHz band and 250 mbps on the 5 GHz.
I'd love to have a strip of 6" tall array of lcd screens like that in the back of my desk. A large version of the touchbar :-)
Sadly this seems to be getting much more difficult. I was out of work for a year, but I would have found something much sooner if I had compromised on remote (which I ended up having to do anyway).
I configured my github to only allow commits with an anonymised email address. Time passed and I used another machine on which I had already opened that repo before. I pulled my recent work successfully, wrote stuff and then committed and pushed.

Github rejected my commit as I had the wrong email address. I then had to try and work out how I delete a commit but keep all my changes so I could commit it all again but with the correct email address.

I'm not sure exactly what I did but in my ham-fisted experimentation I deleted the commit and restored my local copy back to the way it was before my commit, losing all my work that day.
Except if part of the wall goes flying off you mean?
The flipper has great size/capabilities. I mainly use it for NFC/NF wireless pen-testing. Some clients use NF payments and this gives me a single click testing tooling.

As others have said, if you want real capabilities get into SDR. My real kit includes HackRF piped into wireshark.

Lastly, a community that has seen a bump recently, Pwnagotchi. Its worth checking out and to me has alot of potential.
Getting the first human group on Mars does indeed sound like an inspiring goal. But getting the second or tenth group there sounds quite uninspiring. Remember, after some people landed on the Moon, the novelty wore off rapidly and taxpayers rapidly lost interest.

For Mars this problem is even greater -- we already sent a lot of robots to Mars, we got tons of high quality photographs from there, better than anything we go out of the Apollo missions. The novelty has already worn off to some degree. Getting humans there will be a nice achievement, but NASA will never get a gigantic Apollo-like budget for a Mars program.

Luckily, they can contract SpaceX for a lot of it, so the cost should be more manageable. But only for getting an American flag there. Setting up a permanent Mars base would be an undertaking which is orders of magnitude larger.

Currently NASA doesn't even have any plans for a permanent Moon base! There is a recent book, "A City on Mars", which highlights the enormous difficulties of establishing a permanent or even independent Mars settlement. I haven't read it, but in this interview with the authors the prospects sound grim:

For example, it is doubtful whether pregnancies and childhood growth work normally in low gravity environments. It hasn't even been studied properly using mice on the ISS, even though this would be perfectly possible. Maybe all the children come out severely crippled.

Then there is the constant radiation, which means everyone has to live deep underground. Then the question arises: Why not instead build underground (or underwater) cities on Earth, for a much lower cost?

They also mention things like this: Biological warfare against Earth would potentially be a lot more safe for the attackers if they sit on Mars, due to being separated by gravity wells. So the existential risk might actually increase.

They argue that we should first build a permanent Moon base before going for a permanent Mars base. There are just so many things we can learn in a much less difficult to reach environment. At least from the Moon you can fly people back to Earth in case of a medical emergency.
Eh, if the physical security isn't good enough you'll have laptops going missing whether they're encrypted or not. There's a lot more opportunist thieves who'll snatch a laptop than there are industrial espionage spies rappelling down your elevator shaft or whatever.

The real reason for the policy is so when some dumbass sends a dick pic from their work computer and gets fired for it, they can't claim "it wasn't me" and expect to keep their job.
You can get 6E router for <$100. Sure future proofing may be a valid argument in some cases, but the vast majority of users simply do not need to spend that extra money.
It doesn’t overwrite the commute though. It inserts new ones and resets the branch pointer … doesn’t seem like you’d need a whole new tool to mitigate this - just an automatically generated tag or something when you —force-push - would be easy to do if there was demand for it …
I don't think you understand the scale of large creative projects like games. The current (only medium sized) Unreal Engine project I'm working on has about 300k files in the head alone, and a fresh sync for the stuff only required to build/cook the game is about 350GB. If you add the raw content from things like Maya, substance Painter, brush, etc, it is well in excess of 1TB.

Vanilla git just does not scale to this. Microsoft git and Scalar get much closer, but require a bunch more setup and are a giant foot gun if someone tries to use the repo with vanilla git. Add to that the lack of permissions control and remote management, and it is just not a good fit for an industry where say 75% of the contributors are non technical.

Git is a fantastic tool and works for the vast majority of software projects, but there are non trivial amount of projects out there that it just doesn't suit.

Perforce, as horrible as it is, is the game and VFX industry default for a reason - think of it this way, given how notoriously cost driven and penny pinching games companies are, don't you think they'd be using a free/cheaper alternative in hosted Git if they could? But they don't. This is why.

Good luck to the Diversion team, more competition in this part of the market can only be a good thing.
No, I don't go back as far as the 1960s so if you say so I'll have to believe you.

I come from a generation where AI was Skynet, Terminators, the Johny Depp's Transcendence movie AI, even HAL-9000, and other such like.

I still think putting the word "intelligence" is completely dishonest however. There's nothing intelligent about what we have today, even "self-driving" cars fail very badly on what seems trivial conditions. They are a huge mish-mash of if/else chains and some statistical models sprinkled in.

And please don't say "but what if human intelligence is just a chain of if/else statements and statistical models sprinkled in?" because it's very apparent and visible that it's more than that. F.ex. we can learn just from a few trials and errors whereas the so-called "AI" nowadays can't get things quite right even after billions of training sequences.

This is good feedback. I've become accustomed to listening to heavily processed audio for voice communication. So maybe I find it easier to listen to the processed audio? It was fun and a small learning experience for me to do this either way.

Kind of embarrassing for Katalon Studio. Woof.
Quite handy for doing the annoying bits of this yourself. I don't really like the private key being just available but I also don't have a solution for generating this that doesn't include private keys but is also generally useful.
One of the easiest to get started on Datalog in my opinion is really clingo https://potassco.org/clingo/ , which can be pip installed and has python bindings. Answer Set Programming goes beyond datalog, but it holds datalog semantics as a sublanguage. It is unfortunate this is not well advertised.

pip install clingo

edge(1,2).
edge(2,3).
path(X,Y) :- edge(X,Y).
path(X,Z) :- edge(X,Y), path(Y,Z).

Datalog has some really cool use cases for program analysis (more or less relations represent an overapproximation of possible values variables can have). The declarative constrained nature of the language enables incrementalization, composition of analysis, and connection back to other formal aspects like types.

Souffle is very good, logica has a nice install story. https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1KJ6xKSwpw5FWWkvUOyB... . Many other interesting datalog systems.

That's exactly what Twitter does. Why is this a differentiating feature?
in germany this applies only to people who are subject of the recording. as in this case the subject of the recording was the piano players, and other people were just background, the right does not apply. if they didn't want to be filmed they should have walked away.
> First, don't count on AI being aligned at all.

I don't. Even in the ideal state: aligned with who? Even if we knew what we were doing, which we don't, it's all the unsolved problems in ethics, law, governance, economics, and the meaning of the word "good", rolled into one.

> Without a doubt, one if the first use cases of the AI will be as a cyberweapon to hack and disrupt critical systems.

AI or AGI? You don't even need an LLM to automate hacking; even the Morris worm performed automated attacks.

> humans are capable of understanding and communicating the long term consequences of AI and unchecked power

The evidence does not support this as a generalisation over all humans: Even though I can see many possible ways AI might go wrong, the reason for my belief in the danger is that I expect at least one such long-term consequence to be missed.

But also, I'm not sure you got my point about humans being treated like pets: it's not a cause of a bad outcome, it is one of the better outcomes.
It's a good idea to check both.

But in my experience it's far more often the opposite -- the airline sells tickets at the highest price to people who visit its site because they're less likely to be "shopping around". Already have more loyalty to the airline etc. Business travelers that buy directly. Etc.

While if there's a difference, the aggregator usually is the one selling for less, because people are comparing by price. Especially certain "discount" aggregators.

Also you may not have been comparing exactly the same ticket -- e.g. the more expensive Kayak seat might be fully refundable while the airline one isn't. But maybe not -- maybe you did just get lucky!
I agree that when a big cloud company tries to emulate you, you are already winning on a normal company. But maybe not for a venture-backed/big-exit-strategy startup. And probably, those early investors are the ones recommending against fully open-source business models.
Definitely :)

I'm doing major renovations and will be wiring the whole place up. But for the few things that are gonna remain wireless I'll still have the fastest WiFi possible.

Two things I'm most excited about are building an amazing dedicated sound proofed and optimized home theater and having a real centralized server rack for everything in the house. It's gonna be great

Wifi is also nice for smartphones, tablets, and game consoles. No one is going to “just do wired” with their phone.
It looks like the individuals were trolling him ("don't share video online that shows us in the picture...") or just trying to pick a fight.

Unfortunately, these days you have to assume that someone is taking video or photos in public space and it might mean you end up online without your permission. In very rare cases such a video might go viral which then can draw attention to yourself.
