Well, if you squint a little bit, this all looks kind of like a military coup. Through the cultivation of personal loyalty in his ranks, General Altman became able to ignore orders, cross the Rubicon, and subjugate the senate. It's an old but common story.

I point out this similarity because I suspect that the corporate solution to such "coups" will mirror the government solution: checks and balances. You build a system which functions by virtue of power conflicts rather than trying to prevent them. I won't pretend to know how such a thing could be implemented in practice, however.

What if Apple complied with the law.

They don't want to lose all those sales anyway.
It does, but express doesn't tell it directly in the docs.

Instead
http://expressjs.com/en/4x/api.html#app.listen sends you to
https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_server_listen which also won't give the answer but sends you to https://nodejs.org/api/net.html#serverlisten which at some points finally documents that default is 0.0.0.0.

How to be an open society, without being open to manipulation.

I tend to think only education. But the 'right' actively fights that too. Typically on 'religious' grounds, to keep people ignorant.

So, even the solution is demonized.

But if you try to do something, you are called a fascist for curtailing 'free-speech'.

Edit:

What about counter marketing. In "Seveneves", the government had people that manipulated narratives, for pro-democracy. So it was manipulation, but to do-the-right-thing, which was fighting the other government that was a secretive dictatorship like USSR/North Korea type.

Often wondered if that would work at all, but it would have to be secret or if ever found out it would be pilloried for being 'manipulative'.

So, how can a 'free' side ever fight 'non-free' sides without becoming the enemy and using the tactics of the 'non-free' side .

If you're looking to get into 3d printing for the first time, go with a bambu.

If you think you'll enjoy the experience of putting together a printer, get a prusa mk4 kit.

I got the MK3s kit, and spent a week of evenings putting it together. And I understood a lot about the printer, and was able to debug it.

Both have a modding community if that's your thing, but the reality is that both the bambu and the prusa mk4s will work out of the box, and have similar quality.
Right, and another factor to consider is what percentage of the company was owned by investors. After a series B, they may have owned a majority. Apart from exerting pressure, it’s possible that this decision was made 100% by the investors and the founder(s) had no choice. It could also be considered poor form for a founder to make this public if that’s what happened.

It’s important to understand who is actually in charge before assigning blame to anyone.

Going through this at my employer and it's not VirtualBox they are inquiring about.

It took years to just convince them of the need for it. And I'm not sure anyone got convinced vs Chrome had already shipped it and Safari has it planned so they caved in. The most recent update I'm aware of is that it's "worth prototyping".

Hard to believe FireFox used to be a leader of the modern web.

Doing so publicly certainly does. I would terminate business with a client if they started airing out their issues about me on Twitter.

Very relevant.

The big outlier not listed here is apple. Quick overview from someone who's written binary analysis tools targeting most of these:

Mach-O is the format they use, going back to nextstep. They use it everywhere including their kernels and their internal only L4 variant they run on the secure enclave. Instead of being structured as a declarative table of the expected address space when loaded (like PE and and ELF), Mach-O is built around a command list that has to be run to load the file. So instead of an entry point address in a table somewhere, mach-o has a 'start a thread with this address' command in the command list. Really composable, which means binaries can do a lot of nasty things with that command list.

They also very heavily embrace their ld cache to the point that they don't bother including a lot of the system libraries on the actual root filesystem anymore, and the kernel is ultimately a cache of the minimal kernel image itself as well as the drivers need at least to boot all in one file (and actually all of the drivers I think on iOS with driver loading disabled if it's not in the cache?).

There's a neat wrapper format of Mach-O called "fat binaries" that lets you hold multiple Mach-O images in one file, tagged by architecture. This is what's letting current osx have the same application be a native arm binary and a native x86_64 binary, the loader just picks the right one based on current arch and settings.

I think those are the main points, but I might have missed something; this was pretty off the cuff.
Most GC concerns surround "stop the world" tracing collectors that "pause" the program unpredictably for an indeterminate time. These collectors are bad for real-time and soft real-time applications for obvious reasons. They would do better with a reference counting collector because its GC bookkeeping is smeared predictably across the run of the program.

Most languages don't use reference counting because most applications are either one-shot console apps, GUI apps, or web apps - the latter two operate on "bursts" of input. If your app operates in "bursts" then a tracing GC is superior since you can delay collection until the app is waiting for more input. Real-time apps don't have a moment where they "wait" therefore they should prefer reference counting for its predictable performance.

You have to use the right GC algorithm for the right job, but unfortunately programming language runtimes don't usually offer a choice.

And yes, always need to be careful about making definitive statements.
It’s also to be determined whether somebody will go to jail for that and criminal law already errs on the side of defendant.

When I was thinking about getting a 3D printer I asked a few friends what they used theirs for. Vague answers. When I asked what they last printed they almost all seemed to be printing a new part for their printer...

I swore I wouldn't do that. I didn't keep the vow, but didn't break it quite as thoroughly as I expected - though I did do several other upgrades to it in addition (commercial parts).

I use it quite a bit; it can be infuriating when it's being temperamental, but enormously satisfying when something I designed from scratch works out well. I've had quite a few requests from my wife for miscellaneous bits and pieces too, so everyone's happy.
Interestingly countries that jail people for corruption still have corruption. For example in China you can be jailed and even executed for corruption but there is still a lot of corruption there. Here's an example I read about a few days ago where a city government arrested someone who demanded to be payed for their construction contract. (Obviously the real story may be more complicated.)[0] And there are definitely petty execs there as well. I think it may be because you need more power in enforce corruption laws, and power itself multiplies the effect of corruption. That is why I think the civil law vs. criminal law is an important distinction.

Like I said, Apple gives you no other choice. They don't have proper channels for communication on things like software defects or policy. You have to kick up a public outcry to get any help.

The people who don't learn from the past are usually the people who aren't all that interested in learning how things work, learning the lessons people and companies made in the past, and applying those lessons to today and the future. I personally think this is neat!

Old technology can still be quite useful. I still use an ancient ImageWriter II because new printers suck, and having more options to use old hardware is always a good thing.
No, it's better to just create summaries of all the chunks, and return summaries of chunks that are adjacent to chunks that are being retrieved. That gives you edge context without the duplication. Having 50% duplicated chunks is just going to burn context, or force you to do more pre-processing of your context.
Frankly me too.

I spent several months working with Flux, and while I actually generally enjoyed the UI and web-based approach, I had to switch back to KiCAD because there were so many dealbreaking bugs in fundamental features.

The realtime collaboration was just straight up broken; as in, my collaborator would make changes that would not manifest until I refreshed. This is unacceptable.

The PCB tracing was unusable because you could not control the wires and things would appear in strange places. Forget auto-routing... I had trouble just getting it to connect wires.

I could go on at (great) length, but while I genuinely am rooting for the team behind this product, I can't recommend it until they prioritize getting the fundamentals working properly over adding new AI features.

That said, in attempting to work through these issues, I gained a healthy amount of respect for how hard it is to create a viable new entry in this domain. For whatever reason, it often seems culturally normalized to shit on Flux and I think this is toxic and unproductive.
Putting the effort on the shoulders of App developers instead of solving it at one place leads to so much wasted developer time, that could have been put into new features or solved issues. I was shocked about how nobody seemed to notice that.

However, they are not "hobby" at all. Peter Hutterer is awesome and he understands the problem very well - but as a single developer it's hard to convince a whole community

Wait what?

I'm pretty sure Hutterer was the one who pushed it into the App layer. He's the maintainer of libinput, and refused to do kinetic scroll within libinput (like the libsynapse driver did for X11). If he wanted to do it centrally in libinput there's nobody else to block him from doing that -- he can just do it.
From the post title, I expected some material improvement to how meetings are conducted. Automatically transcribing and summarising the meeting does not seem like any serious improvement or anything novel.

Also, it seems to be focused on what is said in the meeting. But what if the meeting is heavy on the visuals (a PowerPoint presentation, a demo) and the spoken content doesn’t make much sense without seeing the shared content? I imagine the output will not be very useful in that case.
Besides the statistics I advise anyone to also look at the reports of how the individual deaths happened, I've seen them very little discussed in western media.

There's often enough evidence to show an extremely likely deliberate killing (usually with weapons that Hamas doesn't have).

Journalists have been killed outside of the Gaza strip as well.

Just make your own informed opinion.

Furthermore, there have been so few western journalists on the ground because Israel (and Egypt) prevented them from entering, I think this prohibition alone should be considered unacceptable in the 21 century
That's fine. Saying it's redundant is 100% valid. That's not what the OP said.

Let’s not forget that Epic has previously breached contract with Apple in the past. That’s why Fortnite isn’t in the store today.

The migration wave you're referring to originated in Anatolia and spread across all of Europe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_European_Farmers

In most places, including Ireland, they were displaced, with some assimilation, by the Yamnaya people. Most of the male lineages were extinguished, the genomic contribution from the previous wave is mainly through the female line. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamnaya_culture

It was the Yamnaya who brought Indo-European languages to Europe, and Ireland. Resemblances between the Irish language and Semitic languages are coincidental.

Personal responsibility is irrelevant. You’re constructing a lower threshold for criminality. I know the first thing I’d be trying to figure out is how to put my competitors in jail.

Let’s take Epic v Apple. Epic went to court. It lost. This entire saga has cost Epic’s shareholders billions. Should Sweeney go to jail? Would the world be better if an Apple-friendly prosecutor could take up that challenge?
