It looks like 230 was passed in ‘96, but Usenet was around for more than a decade before that… somehow, there seems to be a way to make it work? Email could still be possible. I wonder if something like AIM could work without 230.

Maybe federated social media? You’d only want to host people you actually trust, but maybe that isn’t so bad.

Edit: I think it is not that surprising that people misunderstand 230, specifically 230c2. We have:

* A constitution that prohibits restrictions by the government on free speech

* Provides “decency” restrictions on speech in some cases

* An exception for sites that act more like communication service providers, as long as they don’t editorialize, which considers the content they host not their speech

* A Good Samaritan exception for sites to do moderation, so their edits and redactions are not interpreted as editorializing

An exception to an exception to an exception is easy to misunderstand.
When those words were written there was no concept of "algorithmic" feed.

Those words make sense and indeed worked well when "information content providers" remained more or less neutral with regards to what content they provided beyond some common-sense rules.

The problems really started when algorithmic feeds appeared, where the provider now assumes an editorial role and is able to tailor the content to each user individually, with no oversight nor accountability.

Yes. When i think of houses that were destroyed in the us because of an storm, i think first on the typical florida houses, then to the newscenes from the disaster after katrina.
The Books app is for audiobooks, FYI.

That’s the way car HUDs already look, whether using CarPlay or the built-in one.
And those low population areas carry low paying jobs, which are proportional to high population areas. Yes, we have a housing problem. For the average person on an average local income, a house is unaffordable. If you look back at the 70s, 80s, and 90s, houses cost many times more (before and after adjustment for local average income) now, regardless of where you look.
Exactly.

This is the same as saying a carpenter has a monopoly on their work. They can sell it to an employer up front by the hour or afterwards as a good. But no one else can come along and take it without paying.
It never fails to amaze me how much the average Linux fanboy hates themselves and other users. I get that 99% of the Linux crowd are normal people but boy do those 1% make themselves known

There was a technology failure which broke in store mobile payments and delivery. Do any readers have inside information they wish to share?
I'm sure there's an odd parable with netbooks, around the time they first started appearing as a hacky project and early commercial products they were lean and mean. Lightweight local software to do things online, compact flash IDE converters versus HDDs (which seems like a precursor to SSDs by proving a market), bare bones linux and there was a new wave of web standards and performance which non-IE browsers were leading in.

Then after going mass market OEMs put full windows and client software on there, and the web became heavier so webmail or simple office/collaboration slowed down. After that mobile/tablets were in competition for the market, and has practically devoured non-professional usage for PCs outside of gaming.

What I keep coming back to is bundling versus unbundling - having one tool to do everything with likely inevitable compromises, versus splitting into a number of precise specialized ones. It's difficult to convince any decent number of people to take something that does less.
Interesting one, thanks!!

I'm kinda hoping Yubi come out with a version 6 with many more "passkey" CTAP2 slots too. Because I don't only use FIDO functionality but I heavily use the OpenPGP slots as well. Not for email but for other things (file encryption, password manager, SSH). Not planning to change any of that to fido any time soon either.
It's not - a lot of vehicles already have live map data on the cluster. That is to say, Apple isn't doing anything new here, they're just unifying it under their own system.

The Books app you see here is actually Apple's AudioBooks.
Mercedes has a concept (or maybe they have it on some models: https://group.mercedes-benz.com/innovation/case/connectivity... )

Having a car directly implement that protocol instead of software on an internet connected phone is of limited additional value but adds massive complexity.
Is that protocol called the brake and signal lights?

Up until Silicon Valley got their hairy hands into self driving tech, there was never a need for such data to be communicated to other *cars* (not drivers).
The article mentions that the houses were often razed because the land was more valuable than the building.

I don't know about the parts that were enamel coated, but I imagine some of the cost might be recouped from recycling the steel.

I don't think I've lived in a building newer than this era since I was a child, and I've moved quite a bit in both brick and wood framed houses in the Midwest US.
If your stand-ups are a waste of time, consider making it less status-y and more collaborative. We lengthed ours a bit and encouraged more dialog rather than just focusing on the traditional 3 questions (what did you work on since last standup, what are you doing before next standup, and where are you blocked) and it's been much more productive.
The problem is that Apple closed the front door too.
That’s common practice. Most of the time, the shares are sold before the IPO to financial institutions at the list price to guarantee a certain volume of sale and liquidity for the IPOing company. Those institutions expect a first day pop, so it’s common for the list price to be below the expected market price. It also looks better for the company if the stock goes up on day one. None of that maximizes cash to the company, but there are other considerations (and actors) in play.

The reports are never actioned, you will get a reply saying that the content is not in violation of their terms.

The only way to get someone a moderator to actually evaluate some piece of content is to report upon it in high-profile media. Then you'll get it removed and a fake apology and a promise they'll do better next time.

It would be, yes. x86 had very few registers, so anything you could do to free them up was vital. Arm 32bit has 32 general purpose registers I think, and RISC V certainly does. In fact there's no difference between 32 and 64 bit in that respect. If anything, 64-bit frame pointers make it marginally worse.

The minimum puzzle length for spelling bee is 20 words iirc. The dictionary is also a highly curated list of “common” words. What constitutes a valid word is up to Sam, the NYT editor.

"We also transferred the ownership of my GCC fork and the gccjit.rs crate to rust-lang in order to have all the dependencies of the GCC codegen owned by this organization."

Awesome progress from Antoyo and the other contributors!

This has been the dynamics with LLMs for awhile. The majority of LLMs are massively undertrained. 7b models are the least "undertrained" mainstream models we have, hence why they have proliferated so much among the LLM fine-tuning community.

I think both is good, people thrive on diversity, if everyone was taught exactly the same they would think the same. Without some people with different experiences we would certainly miss on some creations.
New Zealand is often a stepping stone to Australia because Kiwis have an automatic right to live and work in Australia.
Nah, this isn’t a matter of people wanting the site to be good but not knowing what to do. They know that they’re making the experience worse, and they don’t care because it makes them slightly more money. We’re well past the point where people are doing “build the thing you’d want to use”.
Don't they (Apple) want a monthly fee from each install, causing the car manufacturers having to pass the cost on to their customers?
The key measure to compare everything is disposable income rather than inflation-adjusted this or that.

Disposable income of the 70s was a tiny fraction, many orders of magnitude smaller than the disposable income of 2024.

In addition, houses in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s are not comparable to houses today. Modern houses and cars should cost a lot more because they offer a lot more.

All I am saying here is that the picture is a lot more complicated and nuanced and needs a more detailed evaluation than a simplistic scaling factor into the past.
They already tried this probably 20 years ago. The frequencies were allocated to car companies for inter-vehicle communication for exactly this purpose, and the car companies promptly did nothing with the technology except sit on it. Finally the FCC took it back because they clearly had no intention of doing anything with it. I can’t find a source, but I’m fairly sure it has now been allocated as the 6GHz WiFi band.
I see it as the opposite. With Reuters, AP and a couple others is there a need for (in the USA): ABC, CNN, Fox, NBC, MSNBC, etc.? Sans their editorial* programming, these are all for the most part regurgitating the same "news" from the same POV, etc. And they're all amplifing their commodcommodity-ness by racing faster and faster to the bottom.

Where's the surprise? Why should any of us feel sorry for the Fourth Estate's intentional effort to fail the rest of us?

On the other hand, Local is unique and isn't as easily commodified.

* Yes, they call their editorial content news, but the rest of us would be wise not to be as confused as they are. Journalism and editoral are two very different desks.
Right. And (although perhaps not including SF and NYC), there are plenty of HCoL cities that you can travel 60-90 minutes from and there is pretty affordable (houses for a few hundred $K), even if not dirt-cheap, housing available. That's may not be really rural or parts of the Midwest cheap but it's not $1M+ for a condo either.

ADDED: And a lot of the jobs associated with those cities are actually a fair distance outside the cities anyway.
I did a little experiment with this here:

One of my biggest "what?!" moments was when we received a fax from a user who printed an email then wrote the reply on it in pen.

Guess she liked her hard copies.
There's always Perl Cookbook if you need somewhere to look up solutions.
Potential infinity is the notion of infinity that is e.g. used in calculus. Potential infinities are compared by rates of growth relative to some common quantity, while actual infinities are compared by the possibility of defining a surjective mapping of objects in one to objects in the other (which is treated as ≤).

So when we talk about a universe that may be "infinite" in size, do we talk about a "potential" or an "actual" infinity?

I think it's clearly the former. If we talk about the size of the universe, we seem to talk about a geometric volume.

Now think of two "infinitely" tall towers standing on the ground. Tower A has a cross section of 100m², while tower B has 200m². Assume that the cross section of tower A has rectangular shape and of tower B square shape, such that you could fit exactly two of tower A into tower B if the latter was hollow.

This suggests a clear meaning in which tower B has "twice as much" volume as tower A, even though both have "infinite" volume. You can literally fill tower B exactly with two towers A. Here "twice as much" just means that as you go higher, the volume of tower B increases twice as fast as for tower A. Which is the rate-of-growth size-comparison from potential infinity.

But for actual infinity you can't say tower B has twice as much volume. You are forced to assume their volume is the same. But you don't even know whether their volume is "countably" or "uncountably" infinite, since you don't know whether space-time is quantized (countable) or continuous (uncountable). But that doesn't even matter for comparing the volume of the two towers:

It's not sensible to say the towers would gain volume by switching from a discrete universe to a continuous universe. Discrete vs continuous is only about how far space can be divided, which is independent of its volume. Otherwise we also would have to say that 1m³ in a continuous universe is more volume than 1000m³ in a discrete universe. Which would be plain wrong, 1m³ is less volume than 1000m³, no matter what the microstructure of space is like.

And if we say the universe is infinitely large, we apparently just talk about its volume (or hypervolume of space-time etc). Which would e.g. mean that an infinite universe with less dimensions would literally fit inside a universe with more dimensions, but not the other way round. (Assuming the physical laws are otherwise the same.)

So, it seems clear that an "infinite universe" assumes the notion of potential infinity, not of actual infinity.

I don't know anything about the supposed infinities present in a hydrogen atom, but I would guess that those probably are potential infinities, too. Which would suggest that the notion of an actual infinity is not backed by physics of the real world.
Very neat. Would it be more efficient to start with every known pangram (~35k) and calculate the score from there instead of scoring every possible set of 7 letters (~8B) and then filtering for pangrams?
I worked for a car company in Infotainment for several years, and while I wasn't privy to any conversations like this, I can say that they (my company at least) are desperately brainstorming ways to come up with anything to make money. This is why we've seen all those crazy ideas like BMW trying to make seat warmers a subscription. They're trying to find some way to maintain a better cash inflow than selling a product.
Every time I see a Polish domain name I am reminded at how obsessed that country is with Perl.

This just seems like a top-10 list of podcasts. Not particularly great recommendations, and definitely not personal based on OP's OPML.
It's worth noting that Isaac Asimov and Piers Anthony made it a point to respond to _every_ letter which they received (and PA noted that they were the only writers who never suffered from writer's block), though later the latter's mail grew to the point where he adopted a similar news letter/form-mail response system.
What’s kinda funny is that there have been a few where we’ve had old code tests written sort of in the form of “try this thing which this system should reject as impossible” and then you realize that after your change that in fact the business rules actually handle this corner case gracefully instead of exposing…

I’ll admit this trade off is probably helped by our clients being mostly state govt, so they’re often grateful to get anything at all functional.

One never wants to ship bugs, we’ve actually had plenty of positive client interaction along the lines of “Hey, we’re just impressed you caught it and are the process of pushing a fix before we even noticed”.
Can they not be disabled on a per-function basis?

Really annoying to have the whole family of the model be talked about so much in the release of a new model. Only makes it more difficult to assess this actual release.

And it's a significant release if it's better than mistral-7b across the board.
It's not Apple, but rather just what all manufacturers seem to be doing. And yes, it is extremely distracting. There is so much noise, so much to take you away from driving. In that one picture at the top of the article, you have of course the distracting colorful app icons (but people are used to those I guess) but also so much needless information. An icon of a garage door? Your schedule for the next couple days (you should not be looking at that while driving!)? Two clocks because you need to see alternate time zones? I can't even stand music apps displaying album art: just one more distraction to take you away from what you should be doing, driving, changing with every new song.

But hey, I purposefully sought to purchase a (manual) car a couple years ago that did not have a center screen, so clearly my opinion is in the minority.

Interesting this stream of consciousness analogy.

I use Perl a lot because it doesn't get in the way. The functional aspect of it lets you map from problem to solution easily.

Those pathological cases are really what inlining is for, with the exception of any tiny recursive functions that can't be tail call optimised.
No, and I don't recall anything about that "#staytuned" materializing. IIRC this was related to a license renewal that got ugly.

I wonder if the families of the 19 000 who died in traffic last year in the US alone also consider this a solved problem...
I think so and I vaguely seem to recall -fno-schedule-insns2 being the only thing that fixes it. To get the full power of frame pointers and hackable binary, what I use is:

-fno-schedule-insns2
-fno-omit-frame-pointers
-fno-optimize-sibling-calls
-mno-omit-leaf-frame-pointer
-fpatchable-function-entry=18,16
-fno-inline-functions-called-once

The only flag that's potentially problematic is -fno-optimize-sibling-calls since it breaks the optimal approach to writing interpreters and slows down code that's written in a more mathematical style.
> you should get the original binary

According to the project's README, they only seem to be checking mere "re-compilability" and "re-executability" of the decompiled code, though.
Sure pen and papers won’t be unethical as much as keyboards they are using to type today.

However if they use a shop as a platform to start selling drugs, that shop owner will be held liable by law, just like facebook.
Rent-seeking by apple and rent-seeking by car makers are both legitimate concerns!

I guess the sentiment for the rest of us punters and hoopleheads is, if we have to be rent-sook by one of them, at least CarPlay is likely to have a less-unpleasant user experience?
Except for the 'OneSignal' startup ones. I always think they're posts related to Signal (the messaging app) for a bit.
I love DRF, but we don't really use it anymore for front to back communication. Too much working around the pure REST implementation to get anything done. However, we'll still throw it into our projects because the data folks love it. Easy way for them to shop for whatever data they want from the system.
There is the flaw that they don’t build themselves, though.
Testing is wonderful- if one starts with the goal of delivering highest quality per unit time spent.

If you start with a goal of coverage or every little thing having X unit test, it becomes a pain on everyone.

Integration tests are the hardest. They test a huge surface area. They are slow, flakey and hard to debug when something is wrong.

But they offer the biggest bang for buck since they test it end to end from the user’s perspective.

Unit tests are wonderful for libraries with well crafted and stable interfaces.

The bottom line is always making a pragmatic decision - for the unit time spent, where can I add guards with highest bang.

SQLite is sqlite because they are obsessed with making it battle ready.

Most great quality software has a team that takes the quality bar seriously and has tests to hold that bar.

Somethings don’t need that quality bar because - it’s not proven anyone will use it.
