The point from the OP there is less who gets paid but that not running ads leaves money on the table so money oriented people will eventually notice that and run ads as well as collect money directly.

Which part of that is the subject line? Does it include the entire sentence as long as your email client can display it? Or does it literally cut off the sentence mid-point? I would call that misleading and definitely over the edge.
> "Not allow commerce to..." thrown left and right: if that's not a typical ideological stance in Europe, I don't know what is.

Yeah but that's a good thing in my book.

The US tends to be very unbalanced in this regard, commerce all the way and not much attention to externalities, both environmental and societal (e.g. welfare and labour rights)

Europe is substantially different from an ideological perspective and that provides us with a much better quality of life (much lower violent crime, much better public transport, no crazy healthcare prices, greener cities etc).

Of course the US does better economically but economy isn't everything. And it's a self-defeating goal anyway, the more money people have, the more they spend on scarce housing and other goods which means the housing crisis is just as bad in the US as it is here despite the higher salaries there.

> The Paris' mayor has very poor approval ratings and has organised a populist referendum on a dubious proposal to try to prop herself up... not a very good example, IMHO.

Paris is far from the only city in Europe banning the most polluting vehicles. Almost every major city does this now. And the air quality really did improve due to this. And our cities are just a lot more smaller scale due to the longer history - there's a reason the smart was invented here :)
The Germans had very little nuclear power (and would probably have taken decades to build a single new one even if they had wanted to). The German decision to quit nuclear had basically no impact on EU energy generation. (It had an effect on German emissions, but even that effect is small).
I'm glad they are keeping the language mostly the same between iterations. I really like Go as a small and simple language that is easy to grok.
The Chinese are not adding coal and nuclear because it is cheap (it isn't, even for them) but because they can't yet produce enough renewables to completely cover their needs. They have a very rational plan for eventually transitioning away from coal. But it's a long term plan.

However renewables are covering most of the new generation at this point and certainly much more than they were expecting even a few years ago. What happened there is that price performance improved much more rapidly than expected; so world + dog, the Chinese included, are rolling out wind, solar, and batteries as fast as they can. A second thing that they probably weren't expecting is that they just became the top car manufacturer in the world. And most of that success is based on Chinese battery companies being extremely successful. So, they are churning out a lot of batteries. And of course grid and domestic batteries are also booming. Batteries are important because they help improve the capacity factor of existing solar and wind. So, they are deploying more capacity than planned and it's performing better than expected.

At this point things are actually looking pretty good for renewables and we can expect some of the coal to start disappearing from their grid pretty soon. Coal plant pollution is a big issue in China and they'll want to get rid of coal as soon as they can afford to. Coal is at this point a stop gap solution for them a necessary and costly evil. Getting rid of nuclear is less important to them but I would not be surprised to see a few of their planned construction being postponed or cancelled as they might simply not need the capacity and nuclear plants are expensive.

A complicating factor is the bursting real estate bubble in China. That's going to impact funding for all sorts of things. Including new electricity generation (renewable and non renewable). But they'll likely focus on reducing the expensive stuff; which would be nuclear plants. And they'll double down on the parts of their economy that actually do work; which would be renewable energy, EVs, etc. Their export market is looking very strong. So, investing in renewables boosts those exports too.
Some processors have a 'Firmware TPM' or 'Platform Trust Technology' where the TPM is integrated into the CPU itself, meaning no wires to probe/interpose.

RAM, PCIe and USB remain unencrypted though so you can just interpose one of those if you're performing an evil maid attack.
This is just plain stupid. The next gen kids will lack more ability to collect and analyze information, and thus more manipulatable.

I happen to live in a very old European village that is being damaged by fracking to the point where homes became uninhabitable. I’ve been fighting the government for the money to replace the house they’ve forced me out of for the past 5 years. There are some who respond to you by saying this can be solved with money but that ignores a significant humanitarian cost. Responsible parties will do whatever they can to shirk responsibility and affected parties will have to waste years of their lives trying to regain safe shelter through bureaucracy. Sometimes it feels hopeless.
Yes it is GPT-3.5 access through Azure if I am correct. University of Oslo has already done this for their staff and students.

I never liked the design of Bitlocker

- I always set a PIN. Wish it was a proper passphrase instead. The whole magic thing of decrypting things automatically seems like a total design flaw.

- I often disable the hardware encryption support. Some of these are total jokes. AES-NI is decent but it’ll reduce performance on faster SSD drives.

An unbooted FileVault Apple device just does not know the decryption key. Until you’ve entered the passphrase there’s no flaw in the OS or hardware that can give it to you. Such a cleaner design. So much safer no magic TPM BS. Same goes for my Linux/LUKS servers. No passphrase not boot.

Dagger (https://dagger.io) is a great way to use BuildKit through language SDKs. It's such a better paradigm than Dockerfiles, I cannot imagine going back.

Dagger is by the same folks that brought us Docker. This is their fresh take on solving the problem of container building and much more. BuildKit can more than build images and Dagger unlocks it for you.
They've done it for their computers only, which is just 10% of their revenue in 2024. If they do it again, they'd have to do it for the iPhone, iPad, Vision Pro, Macs, monitors that have A series chips, Apple TV, Watch, and all their smaller products.

I didn't say never. But 2040 is probably around the time they'd do it if they ever do it.
Yea, you have to keep in mind that while it's sort-of code, it's code written by random errors and selection. Obviously the code quality isn't going to be awesome :P
I've really been liking what I've been seeing with the [Ubuntu micro cloud](https://canonical.com/microcloud) product. It's basically a well coordinated effort of a deployment on lxc/lxd cluster using a (micro) ceph and ovn implementations. I think I like it because it attacks the problem at a level I can understand. (Proxmox does lxc/lxd etc also and has already been mentioned).

Again this is really more of a vmms setup so you need to orchestrate on top. (So perhaps your nomad cluster can sit on this (assuming there is some customer/org infrastructure splitting)

Yes but in general it will attract the more thoughtful types especially because it doesn't have screaming in your face clickbait headlines and attention-seeking pictures. I think the format helps a lot. And also the policy: HN tends to favour uneditorialised headlines for example.

The typical conspiracy theorist and anger adrenaline junkie will find nothing here to feed their desire to hate and even if they come across this site they'll roll their eyes at it and close it. They'll just go to fox news or gab. Even if that stuff wasn't downmodded here it would not incite them enough because it's not in big bold clickbaity headlines :)
I think LLMs+search like Bard, Bing, Phind.com or Perplexity.ai are decent replacements to bare search. Average web content is worse than GPT stuff. You can see that when they compare models trained on raw web vs other sources (books) or curated web. Using bare search means you have to wade through the garbage, a dumpster diving-like experience. You still need to validate everything, on the web or in a LLM window, and that still requires you have sufficient experience in that topic.

Which ones? I have always exclusively used Firefox and rarely have issues.
Mistral models, in particular Mixtral 8x7, while free to download, are not "free" to run. Even if you have the necessary high end GPUs lying around unused (which is already highly unlikely to begin with), you still need to build and maintain a whole infrastructure around them. It would be extremely difficult to do this more cost effective per computed token than say OpenAI or any of the other big API providers.
Probably because it reuses parts of the design of the emergency door so it can be swung out of the way for maintenance. The emergency door uses this complex designs of stop pads and guide rails etc to have “plug” characteristics (which did hold out for 3 months without being properly secured) because a true plug door would have to swing inwards, which isn’t an ideal property for an emergency escape, and I’d guess it might need more room reserved internally.
That sounds familiar?

I even had a little scare about a decade ago when a little transient tachycardia showed up during a sleep study.

Yeah, anxiety has not returned to baseline. COVID has certainly not helped. I haven’t caught it - but I am medically… complicated and a lot of my stuff is respiratory. I mask when I can, which helps but one can only do so much. At least I have a sympathetic GP so I have Ativan for when things are bad now.

It’s a hell of a feedback loop. When I’m super anxious - surprise surprise - my HR and BP are way up (and if I’ve had to use my asthma meds… oh lawd.) thus they want to keep you because you’re not “normal”. Want that stuff to come down? Gimme something nice to relax me, and let me sleep for 5 or 6 hours without a bunch of leads on or someone waking me up every minutes to stick a thermometer under my tongue.
Why are you downvoted? Perfectly reasonable comment.

I think that’s a good question. I see it as also possible it would reduce real-world offending.

Today, seeking out images like that puts you on the definite wrong side of a line. A child was harmed to produce that image. You’ll face significant legal and societal consequences if you get caught with it in your possession. Given that you’ve already crossed the line, maybe the next line is not as hard to cross.

Whereas if images like these are decriminalised, folks who look at them don’t have to directly correlate their actions with any specific harm to any specific child, and so that line remains uncrossed.

I think there may be complications around, for example, using inpainting on an image of a specific child, but overall, my approach is more one of harm reduction. Whichever approach leads to fewer real world children being abused is the one to take, and moral outrage should take a back seat to pragmatism if it turns out that decriminalising these images reduces real world offending.

Not sure there’s a good way to test and find out which of us is right though.

I say its more likely the researcher found article from 2019 https://pulsesecurity.co.nz/articles/TPM-sniffing describing this very attack vector using FPGA dev board. The only novel thing here is price point going down by a factor of x10 to $5-10.
We already can see that France produces less than half the CO2 that Germany does, per year. So, it is absolutely unequivocal that France's strategy was and continues to be better. Even if it takes the French 20 more years than Germany to get to fully renewable, they will still be better for the environment. CO2 is additive, so every ton (or, at this scale, every hundred million tons) you don't emit today is a massive win.

And don't expect Germany to actually hit any of its targets for renewables. Operating a fully renewable grid in a continental country so far up north is not an easy thing to do.
The lessons noted in the article, all valid, can easily be generalised applied to any infrastructure, not just Kubernetes.

Just as an aside, apparently the company doing this, RWE, was the #1 producer of CO2 emissions in Europe in 2018 ( https://archive.is/Qe9KJ ). All I can say is, the sooner renewable energy takes over, the better.
You’re going to use CSS anyway because that’s how things are styled

Essentially the discussion is around how should you use it

- define it as inline attributes on individual elements
- use some thing like Andy Bell’s CUBE approach to define styles for layout and components

With something like Andy’s approach you’ll end up with far less CSS, it’ll adapt to devices and you won’t actually have to write much CSS for new components

That is the goal ? The spec's goal should be to keep it simple on the developer side and hiding/"punting" complexity to the platform/browser developer, is that not the sensible (and secure) way of doing this ?

Users would rather trust the browser to handle my money than each app developer ? We already do this with Apple and Google and other platform hosts. Both of them also build browsers, so it will not even be that difficult for either of them to build payment into the browser as they already have the complexity handled.

Microsoft probably has the stack as well if not at same scale, certainly at reasonable level given their consumer businesses collecting money directly from users.

Mozilla is the only one who will need to build it bottom up, however they have the most incentive to do it, given the revenue potential.

Well, no, that is not how it works. Blink undoubtedly has an oversize influence on 'web standards' (which are more and more defined as 'whatever Blink does') but that would not be that much of a problem if web developers built and tested their sites against more than just Chrome and Edge (Blink) and Safari (Webkit). History is repeating itself since the same thing happened when Microsoft's Internet Explo[rd]er was the dominant browser and developers only tested against that, putting a 'Best viewed using Internet Explorer' badge on their sites.
