omneity basically hit it on the head.

The core of SCIM/SAML is relatively simple, but there are tons of different ways companies can configure things.

* Younger companies tend to use a "modern" identity provider, Okta, Google Workplace, etc. However, the owner of SSO system doesn't tend to be an SSO expert. These setups normally work "out of the box", but require a bit more generic guidance since the person setting it up only deals with SSO occasionally.

* Older companies have the internal expertise, but often use legacy configurations. Many time, this is just a matter of figuring out what the two different system call various fields. However, the range of errors can be huge, so you have to explore a bunch of stuff.
> This is why copyleft is necessary

How would copyleft* have prevented this?

AGPL might, but GPL (and therefore, copyleft) doesn't prevent the upthread outcome.

* - GPL is the prototypical/original [as far as I know] widely-used example of a copyleft license and the startup using nodemailer could have done that just as well (and for free) if nodemailer was GPL-licensed.
I learn best by doing. So I limit my research scope to domains close to what might be practical to do myself.

Sure I go down infotainment rabbit holes. I justify infotainment as infotainment. I do not pretend it's research.

I've been happier since I stopped making grand plans. Since I got over myself.

Happier since I measured my growth by what I did rather than what I knew.

YMMV. Good luck.

Modern capitalism supresses competition, that's what happens. What if McDonnell Douglas had never been merged? What if Embraer had been bought by Boeing?

That's the harm that monopolies do to society and yet somehow they have been even incentivized in recent times.
Oh ... ye ok. Impossible to spot once you decided it is actually one there.
Despite a slow start it’s currently selling at a rate that would allow it to catch the PS4 which is the 5ᵀᴴ most sold console ever. I’m not sure what the guidance was, but even if they were off 4% this last quarter that still puts the PS4 ahead of the Wii by the end of its life.

I doubt a company would ever announce a console is EOL befor their next one is on the shelves. Are you sure that wasn’t about the PS4?

It doesn’t seem like you’ve gotten to know anybody who’s implemented a RIF. I have and every manager involved right up to the CEO fucking hates the whole thing. It makes you sick to your stomach, and they realize that no matter how much they hate doing it, many of those affected will still think they’re callous jerks for it. It’s just business.
1, 2, 5 is my best guess.
Sure, they can reverse engineer it, at a great cost. The production costs will be then much higher than what TSMC charges as well. In the end everything can be reduce to question of "how much will it cost?".

It was the same in USSR. They also managed to reverse engineer many western chips and produce clones. But the production wasn't economical and they were a couple of years behind anyway.
I will never stop singing the praises for the Honda Element. Great visibility, minimal front blind spots, rubberized flooring for easy cleaning from kids, spills, mud, dirt, etc. The suicide doors making entry/exit/hauling big items easier.

That's the nature of some humans. A corporation is not required to kill for profit.

Doctors would kill for profit. Politicians would. The same for engineers, cookers. Any profession, activity or line of business really.

That's human nature. But not all humans. Not even majority, I'd say certainly.

The problem is that this small minority gets 99% of the news. Very rarely one hears when a CEO avoids a decision that could endanger someone. Or when a Doctor is honest and preserves the patient's health above all.

It doesn't mean these good things aren't happening all the time. Look at your life and remember: how many people could have done harm to you for a profit? How many do you remember actually doing it?
A $50,000 vehicle launching into the only segment of the market that already has lots of good choices, and two of the highest rated choices (Y, Ioniq 5) available for under $40K if you look.

Yes, the CUV is the biggest market, but there are probably at least half a dozen EV's in that market that are relatively good choices.

Hatch, small sedan, large sedan, wagon, large SUV, passenger minivan, etc. None have more than one or two good choices in early 2024 in the US. All smaller markets than CUV but all likely places where a new entrant could be more successful and not have to deal with intense price competition.
Why is the average height in the US getting taller every year? Shouldn't it be shrinking if each generation is allegedly less healthy?

Hey cofounder here, just confirming that we do _not_ support running from the browser. That's a pretty great feature.

Another tool that supports streaming to a browser is [Coduo](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/coduo-pair-coding-for-xcode/id...)... although I just noticed the single 1-star review :/

Multi is typically used for long-term teammates. That's when, the extra features we get from being native, as well as the command palette to reach someone, are more useful.
Probably not a huge issue as long as you only eat it every so often. But I wonder about the possibility of producing varieties of pawpaw (or soursop or other related Annonas) that don't produce annonacin. Probably could be done with genetic engineering, or much more slowly with selective breeding.

Given that there are places where people consume Annonas very often, and that this may lead to alarmingly high rates of parkinsonism [1], this could be considered an effective public health intervention.

We were developing something using LLMs for a narrow set of problems in a specific domain, and so we wanted to gatekeep the usage and refuse any prompts that strayed too far off target.

In the end our solution was trivial (?): We'd pass the final assembled prompt (there was some templating) as a payload to a wrapper-prompt, basically asking the LLM to summarize and evaluate the "user prompt" on how well it fit our criteria.

If it didn't match the criteria, it was rejected. Since it was a piece of text embedded in a larger text, it seemed secure against injection. In any case, we haven't found a way to break it yet.

I strongly believe the LLMs should be all-featured, and agnostic of opinions / beliefs / value systems. This way we get capable "low level" tools which we can then tune for specific purpose downstream.

It's not just a question of shareholder value and profits always needing to go up - there are real society-wide opportunity costs to companies like Sony continuing as before. All of the workers they employ and the resources they use are workers and resources that cannot instead be producing other things, and the increase in interest rates that's lead to all these layoff is essentially a signal that those opportunity costs are higher and the bar for economic activity to be viable is higher than before.

Part of the problem, of course, is that the pandemic and the economic shutdowns hugely impacted economic output in a way that couldn't be magicked away by printing money and handing out furlough payments - all the furloughed and unemployed workers and shuttered still produced nothing during that time, that unusued capacity could not be saved up for later, and so it wasn't possible for everyone to continue buying the same amount of stuff as before even though goverments in the developed world tried to create the illusion they could. This also created a temporary increase in demand in certain sectors, like video games, which has since vanished.
My 12-year old son recently got a quest 2, and loves it. The killer feature is playing games with live audio with his friends. He comes out of the room sweaty and exhilerated.

I've been amazed by it. I had earlier headsets that required a cable to a PC and base stations mounted to the walls. Although beat saber was fun for a while, I pretty much gave up on it.

But the social aspect of the quest 2 seems really great for a 12 year old boy so far.
As far as I know they have a very strict safety culture at Airbus. Living in Hamburg, close to their location there, made a factory tour once and met multiple employees during the years and had chats with them about general ways how things are done at the place.

But a few chats with employees and a factory tour isn't the most reliable source to judge this.
Additionally, when you set that limit people then get upset because usually when they go over it for a good reason, like going viral, they aren't anticipating it, and just when their traffic is most valuable the site is down.

But that's on the user. The user shouldn't get upset in that scenario and has no right to. You're giving the control back to the user.
that's really cool. I use to always have a small notebook with my at work to jot down notes and sketches. I had boxes and boxes of those notebooks saved over the years and would flip through old ones from time to time to see what i was up to back then.

> "Serverless" from the beginning has always meant not having to do "os management/operations" type of tasks in a vm such as

So you mean that serverless is when someone else types in the commands of installing the dependencies of your software.

I am genuinely curious, how difficult/expensive learning and issuing these commands on a VM, putting them into a packerfile, Dockerfile or ansible playbook, considering the whole software development lifecycle?

In your interpretation the serverless is when the person who runs these “Linux housekeeping” commands is working at AWS (or insert any other provider here) and not at your company.
You're right that Vision Pro is clearly targeted at productivity.

I completely disagree. The idea that in the past people were "lucky to

we are all "lucky" to see our children grow up in any epoch. It
paints a needlessly bleak picture of some awful past that
technological progress is implied to have eliminated with justifiable

The world is a wild place in reality. Life isn't really fair. Sometimes seeds fall on rocks or clay and will never sprout. If you set your sights on what could go right, things might go better for you. Life isn't about what happens to you, but what you actually do about it. As an individual, I can show the world I care by being somewhat responsible in my consumption, but I can't really control the rest of the world and their choices.

You assume that the hardware would be unneeded, but that's a very strong assumption.

It would be very bad for any cloud provider to leave hosts with only one VM running on it, and you can be pretty sure only very small minority of their park that end up in that situation where shutting down a single VM would lead to a shut-down of the entire host, because it means that the host was vastly under-used in the first place.

Umm, slaves on a sugar plantation were brutally exploited. Kulaks in the gulag were brutally exploited. Folks who sit at their laptops and work indoors are not brutally exploited.

I don’t carry much water for executive leadership, but I wonder who extracted more money from the revenue of Vice: its executives, or everyone else on its payroll. As a class, do executives in the U.S. make more money than the sum total of welfare, public education and student loan forgiveness? The top 5% of earners pay 63% of taxes; the top 1% 42.3% Who is extracting from whom?

I see more and more question-begging headlines like this. ‘Justice Smith Devastates Liberals!’ ‘Jon Stewart Crushes John Smith!’ ‘Congressman Jones Destroys Crybabies!’ ‘Peter Jones’s Threat to Our Democracy’ They aren’t journalism; at best, they are opinion. Too commonly, they aren’t even carefully considered opinion, just emotive bleating. They are worse than worthless, nothing but ragebait.

Almost as bad are the clickbait title ‘Beloved Hotel Closes Its Doors For The Last Time’ (click and find out that it’s a motel in East Podunk); ‘Plastics Pose Danger To Your Kids’ (click and discover that it’s about infants smothering when given plastic bags to play with — something every knew was a bad idea literally decades ago). I think the ragebait is worse, but all of it is just horrible.

And the rise of AI makes it easier and easier to generate this low-cost, high-noise dreck.
