What I minded most about open-office was the noise. the constant noise. always had to wear headphones to do any non-mundane work.

On Implementation of Distributed Protocols
A long-read post (with a companion video) sharing observations and conclusions from exploring 14 code bases.
It's not tangential at all. Depends on jurisdiction and policy by prosecuting authorities. Could be smaller fine, to complete immunity. I'm not familiar with American case law but I remember seeing that Matt Damon film "The Informant" that is based on a true story. The whistleblower (Matt Damon) was going to get complete immunity as he was the first to tell the FBI. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysine_price-fixing_conspiracy. He ended up having his immunity rescinded for other reasons.

I can't know. But In some part of the video you can spot the sake head making a strange movement, like bumping into some invisible obstacle or something. Zooming into a dirt river does not made the dirt between the target and the lens disappear magically

I'm just discussing the title suggesting that this video shows the biggest anaconda measured. This is obviously publicity. I have seen much bigger animals on photos or records. Is a big discovery so, why the need to lie about that?.

I don't have any problem with the claim that a new species of anaconda had been discovered. What I dislike, a lot, is the banalization of the Biology with media disrespecting the zoologists and forcing them to adopt a Tarzan persona, and became children entertainers begging for aaws and oows. Congratulations to the Dutch Irwin for appearing in the Rivas article among the other twenty researchers, but if his apport was the video swimming with the snake, it was totally unnecessary.
Now that is the part where it doesn't make the project lighter.
That's why he insulates his box from the hot planet and enjoys the fact that the air is largely IR-transparent.
While I sympathize with that notion, I guess overhearing everything the C level is talking about would make everyone an insider regarding (own) stocks trading. Also, any layered security approaches would be hard to realize.
If you believe in conspiratorial activities for which there is proof or substantial evidence, then they're no longer theories, right?
Surprised it's not mentioned already.

OpenAI recently fed everything on GitHub into a language model which will cheerfully reproduce GPL'd software without license or attribution.

I think that's the end of "free software" in the GPL sense. There is zero point to writing AGPL on a program if copying it into a language model and then back out into a text file without the license is a legitimate thing to do.

I can't imagine this being countered effectively by lawsuit. Microsoft has built a weapon that they can use to disassemble open source software, I think they'll take the legal side of that seriously enough that GPL will be a distant memory by the time the courts conclude in either direction.
Is SaaS reporting enough in today's data-driven world?
Traditional SaaS reporting often involves a manual, time-consuming process of selecting and organizing data to generate insights. However, the logical way of building reports is just a fraction of what we can truly show our users. Imagine having a database with 150 tables – the sheer number of combinations for joins is staggering.

Using the formula for combinations, we can calculate the total number of potential joins:
C(n, k) = n! / [k! * (n - k)!]
For our database scenario:
n = 150 (total number of tables)
k = 2 (number of tables selected for each join)

Plugging these values into the formula:
C(150, 2) = 150! / [2! * (150 - 2)!]
After computation, we find there are 11,175 possible combinations of joins for our database.

This complexity highlights why AI-powered reporting is superior. AI algorithms can swiftly navigate through vast amounts of data, identifying patterns and generating meaningful insights without being bogged down by manual processes. With AI, we can uncover correlations, trends, and outliers that might have otherwise remained hidden.
That's a nitpick.

Within this discussion if you take a GPL'd piece of software, a "program", and interface to it via pipe/exec you're just using an external program, you're not linking to it and are 'immune' from GPL 'contamination'. If not it would effectively not be possible, or very difficult, to run commercial license programs on Linux, for instance.

China did repress Hong Kong, in contrast to their promise to keep its own system for 50 years. Taiwan does not want to end just like Hong Kong.

It was just so stupid own goal, China could have shown Taiwan how a peaceful reunification could look like without having much of an effect on Taiwan but Xi just couldn't hold his authoritarian urges.

From the conclusion:

> The above makes me feel more optimistic that we have some time before AI becomes generally intelligent and totally disruptive.

I mean, "have some time" sounds good. But trying to quantify it makes me feel less good - since 3 years ago, everything in this blog post would've been impossible for an AI and would've sounded like magic to most people, I don't know where we'll be in 3 years.
If you're an engineer and you think the way you make money is by writing code, and there's no need to leave your house to write code, why aren't you working for yourself? Serious question.

Software engineering is fundamentally a collaborative, team effort. Team efforts work best when the team is "gelled", and people enjoy working with each other.

Half the opposition I read here about going into the office, y'all are rationalizing to avoid the simple conclusion that you just don't like the people you work with. Maybe your teammates make you shitty coffee and expect you to drink it. Maybe your manager doesn't care about your feelings about the value of quiet, heads-down time. Maybe your teammates pressure you into grabbing lunch from somewhere unhealthy and they don't respect your boundaries. Maybe your manager thinks everything is hunky-dory, and you're upset, and they're not emotionally intelligent enough to understand that or to work with you to deal with what's upsetting you.

These are not problems with open offices, and having an office with a door will not solve them. These are people problems. A word of advice: life is too short to work with people who don't respect you. Spend your energy instead looking for people who will. Before trying to fix your office, fix yourself first, by not forcing yourself to be at a company you dislike so much.

You do feel the difference even if you don't think about it. Art is all about details we don't think about but it really feels much better when the details are there. Did I think about the lack of shading details in graphics 15 years ago? No, not at all really. But if I look at graphics today it looks so much better, our brains really notices all those unnatural details even if you can't point them out.

I never felt butterfly images looked particularly good, just looked like pasted in stills. Until I read this article several years ago I didn't know why all the butterfly images looked bad, but now I do. When I look at videos of butterflies they do look like animals that move around, they don't have perfect angles and wings flaps around in different directions so you don't always have symmetry etc, it is a massive difference.

Note, the difference isn't that the particular pose is "dead pose" or whatever they say in the article. The problem is that they use the exact same pose for every butterfly all the time with a perfect angle, that makes your brain identify them as fake stills. You don't need any particular skills for your brain to see that, you just aren't really aware of it. When I see drawings of other animals and insects I don't see the same thing, they are drawn in all sorts of poses and positions and the artists make sure the angles aren't perfect to make them feel natural, but apparently artists don't treat butterflies like they treat other animals instead they seem to be drawn and animated like falling leaves.

It’s very reductionist to consider the items on this list largely conspiracy theories.

It isn't. The LLM completes the text as how it has been trained to. If its dataset indicates that the response to your message is to be offended, then it will respond with a message indicating that.
Filesystems introduce complexity that may not be needed, especially on smaller targets.

I'm personally not averse to file systems. I've implemented (but not yet published) a couple for testing purposes. It's probable that one or more of these will eventually be included in Konilo. But that won't happen until I write a program that needs this and have an implementation that I'm happy with.

There was a window of opportunity in the 90s and 00s when Russia was weak. All the other post-Soviet/Warsaw pact countries like Baltics were not invaded despite having Russian minorities. But Ukraine was not "ready" back then.
Reddit, reportedly, did not comply with three subpoena's in a row:

Reddit wasn’t willing to go along with the request, at least not in full. The company objected, arguing that handing over the requested information would violate its users’ right to anonymous speech. Reddit later responded similarly to a second and third subpoena request.

It helps to have lawyers object to subpoenas.

As for Mr S. he can be compelled to respond to the subpoena for:

1. All written communications with RCN concerning piracy from Oct. 1, 2017 to the present.

etc. by truthfully (?) stating that he no longer has these records.

> I'm also pretty sure they want this 'person S' quite badly indeed

To leverage them, quite possibly for immunity should they be able to make anything stick aside from an elaborate online fantasy life cosplaying as a pirate .. or not .. maybe. Absolutely.

I'd still argue that the main target here is bigger fish with deeper pockets - scare an ISP out of being casual wrt pirating, send a message to more ISP's, etc.

There have been attempts at patching C's issues [1][2][3][4][5], but with not much success from what I've seen. I know there are static analyzers out there but they provide no guarantees that they will catch all bugs in your code, is there really no way to output safe C? Is this the final consensus? That writing in C equals unsafe code and people should stay away from it?

An alternative to infinite refresh rate is to show each frame only a fraction of the normal frame time, i.e. to quickly "flash" the individual frames and showing a black screen otherwise. This reduces the maximum screen brightness, an it requires a minimum frame rate to avoid flicker, but it reduces the type of "eye tracking blur" (persistence blur) which isn't present in real life. To be precise, to completely remove the tracking blur you would need to flash each frame only for an infinitesimal time period, which of course isn't realistic. But VR headsets do use this flashing/strobing approach.

By the way, this is also the reason why CRT and Plasma screens had much better motion clarity than LCD or OLED. The former flash each frame for a short time, while the latter "sample and hold" the frame for the entire frame time (e.g. 1/60th of a second for 60 Hz). 60 FPS on a CRT looks probably more fluid than 120 FPS on an OLED.

Another option for games is to indeed add a lot of frames by using reprojection techniques. This can approximate the real camera movements without needing to render a ton of expensive frames in the engine. This also is already used in VR, just currently not at overly high frame rates. This great article goes into more detail:

https://blurbusters.com/frame-generation-essentials-interpol...

Something like 1000 FPS with reprojection are apparently quite realistic, which should solve the problem of tracking blur without reducing screen brightness.

Usually "distrupt" with software is used in the context of providing non software company shareholder value, right?

Or maybe I have been to naive all the time, and "distrupt" has always meant ruin a market with bloated software, middle men and lock-in.

I've only skimmed the paper so far, but apart from both using the word "emergence" I think you and the paper are talking about very different things. The paper means something along the lines of "behaviours at different scales that are causally isolated from each other", and they give a mathematical treatment of that.

I imagine they would agree with you that there's nothing magical about it! The map is not the territory but some maps are better than others.

> The findings suggest that factors such as the movement of peoples

These are heavily influenced by geography.

> direct and indirect cultural exchanges

This are heavily influenced by physical proximity, which, of course, is heavily influenced by geography.

Of course that geography is not destiny, at the end it of it all nothing is, but it plays a very big part. And the historical truth is that Karakorum (located towards the Eastern end of the Eurasian landmass) had a lot more closer connections to places like Budapest and Kiev (located towards the Western end of the Eurasian landmass) compared to the connection between, let's say, Cairo and Johannesburg.

As such, saying that "Jared Diamond is wrong" without looking at concrete historical facts from our past does not help anyone, no matter if the people doing it like to brandish themselves as "scientists".

Main thing is building for zen2 gives you a binary that can't run on a core2 x86-64 interpreter.

Secondary is that compiler optimisations are prone to creating binaries that don't work like the less optimised version. Not everyone has the hardline "if it changes behaviour it's a bug, not an optimisation" perspective. Those that do still make mistakes.

LTO is really good at detecting aliasing violations between translation units which were previously benign but can now be "optimised" into ruin.

A few articles I've read suggest that the AGPL terms trigger if you MODIFY AGPL covered code. So if you (1) setup an AGPL service over the network "as-is" with no changes, (2) use the AGPL-covered service from your proprietary code over the network (ie, across a process boundary), then you are in the clear, and your proprietary code can remain closed.

If you instead, modify/customize the source of the AGPL-covered service, then you are required to make available your changes to AGPL-covered product under a AGPL license.

Is this a correct understanding of the situation? If the product implements a publicly documented protocol to communicate over the network (ie, not "complex internal structures", and/or replaceable with another product), is that permitted?

By the time you know for sure that you have covid, you have already been spreading it for several days. Most people would still go to work if they had a bit of a sore throat, runny nose or just felt slightly 'off'. Equally staying at home because you felt like you might possibly have a slight case of flu was very frowned upon and at most places would not make you popular with your boss.

Just being able to work from home for a couple of days as soon as you feel like you might be coming down with something is a clear win for overall public health.
