TERM is meant to apply to hardware and software (emulated) terminals. But in reality a lot of application software just looks for the string “xterm-256color” to decide if it’s a modern terminal or not.

The problem is that I’ve seen applications even drop basic VT100 features if a $TERM doesn’t contain ^xterm. Which is insane.

And all of this is using the wrong tools for detecting terminal capabilities because the old hardware terminals couldn’t define environmental variables for the host running the shell. In fact a lot of hosts didn’t even run UNIX, never mind have the concept of environmental variables.

So there are ANSI escape sequences that request the terminal to reply (with a similar escape sequence) what that terminals capabilities are. That’s how termcap and other responsible tools work, and thus how ‘reset’ would also need to work given it is a symlink to ‘tget’

Env vars are definitely convenient in the modern era of operating systems and terminal emulator so I do understand why people lean on them. But the problem is they’re not standardised. So you get different people using different vars (like $TERMCOLOR $TERMCRGB $NO_COLOR $TERM $KONSOLE $KITTY etc) all for overlapping concerns. It’s a fucking mess because developers either didn’t read the manual, or have to support other developers who didn’t read the manual.

So this is why I’m against using ‘reset’ using $TERM to detect device capabilities.

This is also why my own terminal emulator, despite not being related to xterm at all, identifies itself as xterm in $TERM. It sucks that I have to, but that’s just how it is.

The next question is whether ‘reset’ should even be the place for this code. I’d argue not because the requirement isn’t to reset the terminal, it’s to clear the scrollback. So the place for this change is ‘clear’, not ‘reset’.

When you consider air freight is worth ~$10/kg for cross-ocean flights, the decision to not remove 10kg of unused servo is worth about $700,000 per plane across the ~20 year expected lifespan of the plane.

And they probably do this on all their planes too, so perhaps multiply that by their ~200 plane fleet size giving a loss to the shareholders of $140,000,000.

That ought to be hard to justify at the shareholder meeting.
I wasn't criticising hwrngs "as such" merely saying that actual evidence exists for some that their entropy pool can be exhausted and that they can degrade. "just use the cpu hwrng" is too-simple advice.
Sorry for the confusion, it’s not like a text log on the server. API A is calling API B. API B grabs the data from the data store, before sending to API A – API B logs the JSON in the same data store that the data is coming from. When end user of API A says did you send me the right info, end user in API A says yes I can see the data being sent via UI. I mean yes this could all be ONES and ZEROS but nice to let some admin user prove to other user that data was sent VIA JSON object that API A accepts. IDK they are all ONES and ZEROS some are just easier for end user to grok.
I did start to write an answer, and in checking my answer realised that a link I’d have to link to an article:

I was wondering if there could be colleges in Federated colleges, but that’s daft.

I think Kent was going to be called Canterbury, but there was already a Canterbury University in New Zealand.

Lancaster, Kent, and York sounds a bit Shakespearean.

I think calling him that is sensationalism, like “influencer takes down a car company!”

> That only makes sense if we assume Apple’s world class legal team didn’t see what every lay person could

Legal doesn't make decisions like this. That's not what they are paid to do.

Legal advises the executives of the consequences of decisions like this.

And if there's one thing that you should expect from people in positions of incredible power (executives), it's that they often believe that they are immune to the consequences of their decisions.

Most of the time they are right. Sometimes, they are not.
I have been developing an Ethereum blockchain explorer that can be used from the Terminal.

I'm seeking ideas as I intend to implement standout features that aren't achievable with web-based explorers like Etherscan.

>> But this paper has very severe issues: the design doesn’t make any sense and the reviewers also pay no attention to it. The paper was accepted at no reason which can make anyone feel guilty in this case.

After the deadline, crazy modifications of the paper were made and I started to...

My understanding:

- The paper didn't had proper review, yet got accepted. Hmmm.

- To save everyone faces, the author did some hacks/patches. Unfortunately, it deviated significantly from the original claim.

- The supervisor refused to help him.

Couldn't you just retract your paper? Thus, no need to lie.

Yes, Boeing has a serious culture problem. One regarding engineering, MCAS should never left the meeting room it was discussed in. And one regarding quality, that whole B737 Max door plug cluster fuck is plain unacceptable.

That their planes are shit so isn't true. Because ultimately, the B787 turned out to be a great plane, it should never heve been ruahed through development the way it was. Same for the 737 MAX with regards to MCAS.

The key point, somewhat hidden in the LWTN segment is that the way Boeing is doing things is deeply flawed. Not that the ultimate product is bad.

I say this, because with the quality culture Boeing seems to have, you will ruin even best design plane. And their quality culture, looking in from the outside and without a final FAA report, is ditramental opposed to everything I learned and saw in aerospace.

In general so, the John Oliver segment is good summary of Boeing goeing back to the B787.

Yes. I don’t know them to know if they are not qualified — overall I think they are unlikely to be unqualified. What I am saying is it is easy to find qualified stooges. Like I said: pay us humans enough and we build whatever. Note: not all pay is in dollars. Prestige and power are also sought by man.

Overall: I am cynical wrt OpenAI. I just don't think that OpenAI is acting in the best interests of humanity and these appointments are strategic decisions taken to prolong survival long enough to execute their strategy and dominate. That was what I was originally insinuating.

Technological development keeps intersecting into the space of ethics. Time and time again man proves that he cannot rise above his own personal world views to focus on universal values when developing technology. We’ve seen this repeatedly. These people designing these APIs and building the underlying models are making consequential decisions on behalf of mankind. In a way the world is delegating all this power to unelected individuals who have very little in common — in terms of values and ethics — with mankind at large.
> Apprenticeship has been a successful training model for many hundreds of years.

This is such a bizarrely vague statement that it's meaningless. You and I both have zero clue what the environment was like for apprenticeships in these hundreds of years, or how issues like this were resolved. Further, if the system of apprenticeship was historically as abusive as PhDs seem to be today, then I'm not sure we should look to it for guidance.

Germany, for example, still uses apprenticeship for many careers. But there are a great many legal protections for Azubis (Auszubildende/apprentices) that protect them and provide avenues for changing companies and reporting issues. They have stronger legal protections than normal workers in some cases. It still isn't perfect and it can still be problematic to handle issues, but there's a system in place.

I expect the most of subjects of psychological experiments to know this because they heard of other experiments. So I wouldn't expect that the trust building will change anything.

The entire world of scientific papers is ridiculous and I wrote it many times.

I worked in one of the most prestigious labs in the world and seen it first hand.

And people wonder why 85%+ of papers in natural sciences are not reproducible. The incentives are all wrong in academia and science, it's just farming papers, farming citations, money and politics.

The two major wrong incentives are the pressure to publish on high impact papers for PhDs and postdocs, as their career depends on it (this gives them limited timeframes to fail and really explore), and lab funding being tied to the same incentive.

The pressure to publish is also a major factor behind tweaking data. As your PhD is ending you need those publications or you can forget an academic career. And it's a pyramid, so you need to get ahead of others in your situations. You tweak data, you pull your strings, you leverage your or your labs connections.

On top of that, add the fact that as soon as you move in any direction you are effectively entering a niche where the number of people qualified to review your paper is small, and everybody knows each other.

If you're working on helicoidal peptides as energy transmitters on metal surfaces it's a niche. Advanced perovskite synthesis? Niche. Hormonal regulation of some gland? Niche.

There can't be that many experts on pretty much any topic in science, those are all small clubs, even when you get to popular topics.

It's a perverse system.

You seem unaware of the term "press junket" - events where car companies invite press to fancy locations and wine/dine them. The top tier press are invited to that, and they're expected to have nice things to say or they aren't invited back unless they have such a large audience nobody can say no to them.

Just getting access to the press car fleet alone is worth something to a reviewer; if they can't get access to cars, they starve, especially if they can't get access before the embargo lifts; all the traffic will go to the reviewers who had pre-embargo access.

If they're honest and don't pull punches, and don't have the clout of say Top Gear - the car company's PR team will cut them off.

The way most reviewers get around being able to sleep at night is by focusing only on the things they like, and lie by omission. Any criticism is focused on subjective meaningless things like "this color is horrid."

For example: go read reviews of the VW Mk8 GTI, see how many reviewers tow VW's line about them "curing" understeer, and how many reviewers are honest about the press car being delivered with softer tread compound tires up front and harder compound tires in the back, to cheat and make the car handle more neutrally.

See how many mention that the press cars were EU models (normal) with a slew of features that won't be available in the US at all (not at all normal), like the fancier adaptive suspension system. See how many of them rave about how good the suspension is...a suspension the US didn't get!

Everybody using a car has opinions on cars. They're consumer products: you don't have to be a car expert to buy, operate or otherwise use a car. You might be just a passenger without any driving license and still have a strong opinion on some cars that you've been a passenger of.
I've been watching the Y Combinator YouTube channel recently, and people in the room when OpenAI was founded were saying "… until these big companies solve AGI, it's going to be their first, second, and third goal" — not that OpenAI or Anthropic would succeed, but that this is their goal.

Before the industrial revolution, land was paramount; after, capital. AGI is likely to be as significant a change, and make money (as we understand it today) less important in a similar way.
Your reply suprises me, when I run "grep --[TAB]" I go a whole bunch of flags.

I'd probably suggest that bash-completion being a "third party" package is a good thing, it's entirely external to the bash project and that's good. It means we're not pinned to releases alongside the shell. After all it has support for ssh, grep, and many more tools they should be able to contribute to one location and the shell-project itself would be thee wrong one.

bash completion provides a framework for adding completion to "stuff", and the git-package on Debian uses that to drop a file into `/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/` so there's no need for any other third party framework:

1. Install git
2. Install bash completion package
3. Everything should just work.

Anyway I guess a lot of this will depend on the system you're using, and how their packages are configured, but I don't personally believe that bash completion is in a terrible state.
The DMA has been in force since November 2022 and became applicable in 2023.

There was a grace period for compliance for companies found in violation, because that determination was made after it came into force, not before.

You can't find a company to violate a regulation that's not in force, and it's reasonable to give a company in violation of complex piece of law (that's never been tested) some period to comply.

But that doesn't mean the law is not already in force.

I use Tailwind at work daily and I still believe it is a crutch for a bad design system. I see pros and cons. If you keep your class count relatively small, you can "see" how the element is going to look if you are good with CSS, and it is incredibly intuitive. On the other hand, when you see blocks with 20+ classes, just like some examples posted here, they are hideous and all the readability goes down the drain, I take this should be made up for with the use of components and limiting copy pasting.
Also I don't think you have to use either Tailwind or more classical approaches, in fact I like mixing both. During a rush a couple of years ago my team had to give a more up to date look to mane features in our app and, provided you have a strong component system, those touch ups were mostly related to positioning and sizing, and that represents 99% of our usage of Tailwind.
Fusion produces much, much less helium than that. D-T fusion that produces 100kg of He-4 would produce something like 25PJ of net primary energy. If you managed to turn 20% of that into electricity, you'd have 5PJ. This is within an order of magnitude of the yearly electricity consumption of the entire world.

I also wonder about a point raised by russian propagandists (which imho is valid): the ukrainian things are relatively low and don't have that mast (see here: https://www.twz.com/ukrainian-drone-boat-appears-to-have-bee...). So how do they find their (relatively small as of late) targets in a 20x100km² area 600km off their deployment point without a) sending those on an industrial scale (unlikely given the western supply chain...), b) these things loitering for days (unlikely given the size?), c) having some very advanced sonar things (which also would need some more depth if I look at publically deployed solutions), d) Russian captains are really incompetent (likely) or e) they are actually guided by the plentiful western surveillance assets. Which would be just like the Houthi missiles which are a) fired in volleys and b) probably depend on data by the iranian/chinese ships lurking around ...

The last 2 points make this thing really very good in this specific war (surveillance assets can do whatever they want and russian captains seemed very complacent), but very inefficient anytime else. Also I'd say you should be able to easily adapt something like the various CIWSs (which currently have ancient designs...) to this threat. Also: once you notice the threat (which 2/3 last incident did?), why not level the playing field for your (hopefully not all drunken...) sailors and just flare up the whole environment (which should have helped here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwXzaBixvL8 - also I don't really agree with this guy, that more ships help in defending against a swarming attack when they don't know how to kill the swarm...)
