The rather troubling part of this announcement in a GitHub issue is that this nugget comes out in a seemingly innocuous comment[1]:

>> Firefox still uses MLS for `browser.region.network.url`; will that also move to Google Location Services?

> This endpoint will be migrated to another service (classify-client) that will return the expected response. We'll adjust DNS entries when it's time to make that move so firefox won't see any difference.

What exactly is this "classify-client" service?

Note also this led me to discover for the first time that this is a thing[2]:

> Geolocation for default search engine

> In order to set the right default search engine for your location, Firefox will perform a geolocation lookup once by contacting Mozilla's servers and store the country-level result locally. This connection happens on the first start of Firefox – in case you want to prohibit that, you will have to preconfigure the browser and set the browser.search.geoip.url preference to a blank string.

Well sure, but if it is probabilistic then you have to admit sometimes the delusional thinker will draw valid conclusions and normal human thinking will be invalid. Like a delusional individual in ancient Greece who might think that thunderbolts are caused by something other than the gods.
.NET AOT really is not designed for deployment, in my experience - for example, the compilation is very hard to do in Nix-land, because a critical part of the compilation is to download a compiler from NuGet at build-time. It's archetypical of the thousand ways that .NET drives me nuts in general.

Oh know exactly what you mean. For me that’s proof enough the people who built it aren’t eating their own dog food.
Yeah, surprised (not surprised?) to see the used-textbook market seemingly gone now when I was recently visiting my daughter at the University of Kansas.

It used to be a small industry that nonetheless allowed a brick and mortar store to thrive as a secondary bookstore to the university's student union. Never mind the savings for students.
Another example might be anomalies in planetary orbits that could be explained by a missing planet.
Why do you think so? Do you think the ones with a smaller user base are better, and if yes, why?

Hm, simple version bumps tend to be outstanding for about a week for me before they are merged, and in the meantime I just add my package definition to my profile. Is there more to it than that?

Same here. .tk was the only one back then that allowed you to have your own domain name without subdomains. My memory is that:

1. freeserver.com/~userna <- This was the first URl you could have, sometimes with something inside another directory (freeserver.com/users/u/~usernam).

2. username.freeserver.com <- This wasn't that bad but it didn't look professional. Tripod used to do this.

3. username.fs.com <-- A service with a short domain that provided free subdomains. This was similar to 2 but shorter. Some of them allowed you to chose the domian part.

4. username.tk <-- Among all the free options, this was the best one by far.

Then we grew up a bit and started paying domains :')
16 hour delay for me to reply "Would I describe what as syncronous or asynchronous?".

If you have a point to make, make it. Better yet, you waste your time writing out a lot of detail so I can one-line ignore it with plausible deniability (because this "should be an email" stuff often turns out like a power play in that style).
Assuming a (hypothetical, doubtful) AI as good as a human programmer, I think the advantage becomes speed. Think of it like a REPL that you program in English. Patching ambiguities with "Oh, I didn't mean X, I meant Y" becomes the work of minutes, not hours.
I can assure you that you have many deeply held delusional beliefs. Of course it's impossible to convince you of that.

Yes, I have a close relative who is deep into conspiracy theories, and in conversation we skirted around that one. He referenced the idea and then said something like “of course, we are told that can’t possibly be true, although there are some very serious people who do think there might be something to it”. That was his off-ramp as he didn’t want to try to defend it, but he clearly didn’t completely dismiss it.

The guy has a PhD from a respectable university.
Well maybe more project/program management than typical people management - you still need someone to organize the work at a higher level, collect the requirements and feedback, check all the compliance boxes, etc.

But I agree that typical line management jobs will evaporate along with the engineering ones.
Why would they do that if they don't have to though? Safari will lose even market share.
Totally. Help them learn and try many different things, it will be obvious what they like and don't. When your kid is upset and crying about going to Cub scouts, repeatedly (not just a bad day), scouting isn't for them.

They like playing minecraft and building others recipes/formulas (not sure what to call them) for farming things. Their motivator isn't the curiosity of "how does this work" or "what can I build" like an engineer's mind, their motivator is competitively acquiring more than each other and their friends.
This is silly.

Haven’t had many issues going to the theater in the past, even with phones or people talking. I might see phones at the beginning, but people seem to put them away pretty soon after the main feature starts. If anyone’s talking close enough for me to hear, I just politely ask them to stop (rare, but never had an issue with someone reacting badly). Maybe it’s the time or movies I go to, but I rarely see kids or teens in the theater, and if they’re there, their behavior is fine. Ticket price isn’t a big concern either, as I want to support the types of movies I want to be made.

The biggest change with Covid/streaming is the removal of time pressure to go to the theater. For years leading up to 2020, it seemed like the number of weeks a film was in the theater kept getting shorter, and you had to really decide to go see something in the week or three after it opened, otherwise you’d miss it, and I’m sure I missed many I would have seen. With streaming, I don’t think they’re missing out on too many ticket sales from me, but I’m definitely seeing more movies I would have missed otherwise.
You fail to realize that having such headset 8h a day is not the holy grail for most people, I'd never work in such way. Horrible for your eyes and overall health in many ways we already know and many that will be discovered after this betatesting runs for decade+.

A very interesting video take: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQKMoT-6XSg

tl;dw -- reviewers are understandably focusing on the technical specs, but ignoring the much more simple metric: conceptually, does the device fool the mind into accepting what it sees as "real"? And the answer for the Vision Pro is yes. It will get lighter, better, cheaper, but even now, it's important to realize that the AVP can transport you to another realistic reality in a way no other device has managed. I've only done the in-store demo, but I understand what the video is saying, and it resonates for me.

A standard problem with dev tools is that they're obsolete before they're ever mature.

What is mean is that by the time NewTool that fills a gap doing X really well catches up with the YZ that older tools have long experience handling, EvenNewerTool handles E better than NewTool does.

I don't have any knowledge of the specifics here, but at first guess I doubt something security-focused would be an exception to that rule.
Not related to the project but do you know of useful content that explains how to approach query optimization for Postgres? All I was able to find was classic stuff like `explain analyze` etc.
As an indie maker, you have something like venture capital investors and funders. It's called the free market. Theoretically, according to the common perspective on economics, the free market is self-stabilizing. By virtue of bad ideas being heartlessly culled from the socioeconomic gene pool for the dominance of good ideas.

So, if Silicon Valley style investment funding is a culture sponsored and state sponsored bubble, then the giant, long running startup founder techbro welfare scheme being a bubble that will pop any decade now means people, right now, are starting to experience revulsion toward traditional economics arrangements. Maybe capitalism is an artificial intelligence that lives and that is super intelligent? It makes decisions and one of those decisions right now is pulling out from a sincere experiment in trusting startup founders who are too stupid to outsource essential basic tasks to simple GPT-4 based software. As opposed to the strategy of employing a neo-colonial periphery of cheap and geopolitically subjugated overseas laborers.

Time is running out for Silicon Valley and its adjacent communities. Once resources dry up, that will be your opportunity to shine and start up the next Facebook/United States of America. An unrestrained megacorporation. Seriously.
The fonts comment must just be Ubuntu not having an app by default, you just double click a font, gnome-fonts opens, click install.
We also launched a similar service in the past like 3-4 years back and trust me it doesn't work as you think. The problem is with the product-market fit. It is very hard to find the right people for your service and the fierce competition from all the major players makes it even harder.
If you are truly involved in the service then don't wait for the people to find and reach out to you, instead try to find the right audience and reach out to them. I know it is tougher than saying. We've tried it but unfortunately, it didn't work as we planned and that's why we shut it down after just 6 months.
Nevertheless, at least try it first. All the best.
That is a solvable issue -- give examples of manipulation and misinformation for both sides in roughly equal quantities. There is no shortage of examples for any argument.

Nothing helps making people manipulation resistant like seeing manipulation from the side of the argument they support.

Don't really understand the trends myself (don't mean this in the positive or negative sense, just some grays popping up in my stubble), but the more people I know or meet that have jobs in IT, I have to notice that the tiniest percent of them are programmers.

The service has indeed been getting worse and worse over the last few years. In the tools I've got that use it the number of inaccurate hits I've gotten has been increasing. People who move and keep their same wifi gear seem to be the cause of it. Then it happened to me when I moved, and I tried to find a way to update MLS and couldn't, so my Linux laptops can no longer be set to automatic time zone mode, or they revert back to my old time zone whenever I'm at home...

I very much hope they release the information about which patents are a problem so that future attempts at a service like it can hopefully avoid that problem, but considering the state it's been in I'm not terribly upset that it'll be shutting down.
Probably better to link to the GitHub page.
Exactly, which is why the whole “fiduciary duty to maximize profits for shareholders” is a totally meaningless/unenforceable/zero-information idea. Shareholders have many many different interests on different time horizons so business operators naturally and necessarily have broad discretion in how they satisfy their fiduciary duties.
I'm currently managing development VMs (mostly Fedora Cloud) using Ansible on a Proxmox hypervisor and i'm mostly happy with how it works.
I'm interested in experimenting with immutable OS's , the most immediate difference I see is that I'd have to start using Butane instead of CloudInit. Can anyone with experience comment on the pros and cons ?
Right now, I really do everything in Ansible, including creating the VMs from a proxmox clone template.

>With shorts/reels/tiktoks, long form fun content no longer works.

Yes, and no. It's weird. YT very much does want creators to make shorts. They take a bigger cut after all, and it's the big trend. But the traditional algorithms (from what I hear from creator who talk about the topic) hasn't changed too radically. The 8 minute target point is still a factor and longform videos still seem to be rewarded.

I imagine YT is just trying to hit on multiple fronts. Shorts are for the Tiktok crowd while the normal videos are still tailored towards people who come to YT to get more substantial content.

>But that is not the point made in this article, at all.

The article directly mentions your point though:

>So far, much of what’s been heralded in YouTube’s era of MrBeast sounds bleak, but the next era might already be upon us. If the old YouTube was Instagram, the new YouTube will be more like TikTok. That manifests in literal ways, with the company putting much of its energy into “shorts,” but also figuratively, beyond structural elements. TikTok’s strength lies in its ability to surface videos from everyday users to an enormous audience, and it’s so good at doing this that people talk about its algorithm in mystical terms.
You think that fraud is just going to go away because .tk is gone?

Honestly if you've ever been in the middle of a group of wild Tom turkeys in the spring, I don't think that's any less scary.

Turkeys are dumb as hell. So they're not really a threat. But they're super aggressive (or can be) and if they had teeth and larger claws and especially if they were pack hunters, it wouldn't be great
The relationship between thoughts and proofs is analogous to the relationship between noise and music.

It’s a subset kind of relationship.

There is also the social aspect: people have to agree on it. Noise becomes music, and thoughts become proofs, only if several people agree.
Take the SLR camera, hook it up to a computer with a custom driver, every time you generate a new picture through AI, invoke the camera keying process programmatically. Most likely don't even need the camera when an exploit is found for the hardware.
That still doesn't solve the issue, manipulation and misinformation are entirely personal and highly emotional.

That's the most important point I think. Clang compiling typical C code is very fast, but the same Clang compiling typical C++ code is very slow. Both use the same LLVM backend.
Selecting from a biased population into an “unbiased” sample is itself also political. Like having one fringe scientist on stage with one mainstream scientist, giving the illusion that their ideas have equal acceptance among their peers.

I agree. It's likely common that children with ADHD or autism diagnosis also have parents with such condition, but they were simply never diagnosed. At least in my family's case it's quite evident, though it took me a while to recognize.

Don’t read blogs if you don’t want opinions, is my advice.
I thought about that for a hot minute before making the analogy and in previous years I would have agreed. The cores are doing the work, after all. But CPUs nowadays are so different nowadays compared to yesteryear.

In one CPU you have cores of different sizes and different speeds, and there are various ways to connect them to each other, and interplay with cache subsystems etc.

Anyways it doesn't matter. If I put in a certain number of watts and money and get a certain performance out, what does it matter how?
