Sure, and one day the aliens will stop treating us like zoo animals. This is like EULAs. Only corporations have the time and money to utilize them in their favor. In other words, we are not equal in the eyes of the law.
Reading this, I’m wrestling with why I can conform to “prescribed” dosages of potentially abusable pharmaceutical like stimulants, but I find it so hard to just have a little weed I force my wife to keep hers in a safe and opt for sleeping pills for my insomnia.

Only answer I can come up with is societal norms. Taking more prescriptions than prescribed makes you an addict, smoking more weed is just normal.
SSDs and HDD on-board firmware will actually cache-locally and then lie about if it's been written to the disk or not. Pretty much every level of the stack caches and lies about it to the point that if you do a deep dive into "has information been written to disk or not" the answer comes up as "this is impossible to verify".
Fascinating to hear the BBC griping about their government’s approach to the internet vs America’s.
> There should be a balance between workers bleeding dry in capitalism, and workers don't have (good) jobs because it's too much hassle with "regulations and labor protections", and is not worth the outcome.

I happen to know quite a few people from Germany. All things considered, there are good jobs and they have decent living standards.

Germany? (Over)socialist? Are you high?

> I have an idea to build my personal wealth, why would I give jobs to all these protected guys, if I can leave them jobless, and get €€€ using minimal team I can assemble. Ideally - being solopreneur at all.

By all means, do it. What are you waiting for?

Fact is there is money to be made by employing these "protected guys", they are certainly not jobless.
This reinforces their control of internet standards, and they're not free, you're paying with your data.
Have you tried swapping Mistral 8x7B with either command-r 34B, Qwen 1.5 70B, or miqu 70B? Those are all superior in my experience, though suited for slightly different tasks, so experimentation is needed.

Reddit faked the initial users with bots to pretend it was active. Then we got the mysterious “subreddit simulator” which somehow had full read access to the database.

Now we have a website where all the content seems to be from bots, right before they sell.

I like reddit because it has every topic on it but it’s trash now. It’s not unkillable. Fundamentally it’s just a forum where users create their own subforums.

This will be your opinion right up to the second your own life or family is the one in danger and you need to break a law or cross a border to save it. So this comment only indicates a complete lack of empathy.

A drowning person is extremely dangerous because the animal instinct in them will cause them to push a rescuer underwater so the victim can climb on top. We don't blame the drowning person, we know that humans will do terrible things when they're in mortal danger.

So perhaps the rich countries that caused much of this pollution can find a way to incorporate all the people who will need a new place to stay, making them productive citizens. Instead of destroying their land and then machine gunning them at the border.

Yeah, I have a room full of synthesizers, each with their own unique features and engines and workflow.

What I really want is to be able to feed a sample to the AI and have it spit out SYSEX that will reproduce that sample on my room full of synthesizers, so that I can go from Sample->Synthesizable Sound, i.e. turn the static dead of a sample into a dynamic reproduction with hundreds of modifiable parameters.

I'm guessing someone is working on this. Aphex Twin had a cute project along these lines, but I dunno where it went ..
You should be able to get a non-recourse loan, i.e. where you never owe more than the stock is worth. That said, Reddit was one of the more secondary-unfriendly firms, if memory serves correctly, if you didn’t have Board or senior management connections.
When did we as a society stop behaving like that? The scarlet letter was from 1800s, but at no time since then would I say that society suddenly realized that the designation of pariahs was problematic.

You talk about the color of your clothes as if people are someone enlightened about it, but the whole plot of American Psycho is essentially a lens on 1980s Yuppie culture where what you are wearing is more interesting and memorable to people than your name [and who you are]. Such attitudes persist in tech circles although flipped: wear an AC/DC t-shirt = one of us, show up in a 3 piece suit = outsider.

Absolutely, designating someone as different because of how they connect is enough to create a designation as an outsider. Almost by definition.
Interesting to see Robert Mercer the former CEO of Renaissance Technology is one of the authors on that paper. He is a former IBMer. If his name is unfamiliar he is a reclusive character who was a major funder of Breitbart, Cambridge Analytica and the Republican candidate in the 2016 presidential election.

You might have a sick relative and want to temporarily spend some time with them. Or you might need to relocate to lead expansion to another market. Or move to the sun after retirement but still keep ownership of some shares to pass on to your children. There are a range of unplanned scenarios that can lead to that. For many, it is not worth the risk.
Considering there are still major investments into Germany, there is still much positive development. I guess some people are just blind.
> Yes, the latter is a very peculiar combination, because not many people with the mental skills required to navigate a bureaucracy like that stay poor (because some employers are willing to pay a lot for those skills).

Whooo boy that's a lot of assumptions there.

Sorry, but it just doesn't hold up in practice. If you're working at McDonald's, your employer has very little interest in your ability to navigate a complex bureaucracy. Especially when the manager is the manager because he's the franchise owner's nephew.

Unfortunately, in most low-level jobs, that kind of skill—and, more importantly, the initiative required to obtain the skill—is not only not valued, it is punished.

I've seen a number of people I know who are very bright, very talented people stuck in low-end jobs for exactly those reasons. (Plus the good old standbys of "can't take time off to do job interviews, too exhausted each night to spend hours sending out applications", etc.)
I'm really pleased to hear about this and looking forward to the updates in my daily tooling. I feel like for decades I haven't seen a fundamental improvement in diff/merge tooling. It will finally be great to not parse the change in my head. For example, one diff problem I keep noticing has been the curly brace shift when you add a new function or a block. Even if it can only identify those, that would be a win for me.
There's a peer comment that exemplifies the problem that scares me most. (Edit: Oh good, it got flagged into oblivion, basically it was advocating for killing illegal immigrants)

In the US, basically all of Central American is coming to live here in the coming decades. If we don't find a way to invite and welcome them, our society is going to break down.

Conservatives are freaking out about "invasions over the southern border" and advocating killing people. This is just the start. This is the trickle. No amount of "border security" will stop people fleeing for their lives en-mass. The US just isn't culturally prepared for this and I don't know how we can change it.
This is one thing that no-one else seems to mention (not even Spotify).

When Apple Music launched it was around the time that 3rd party apps were allowed to hook into Siri - so you could say "Hey Siri, tell MyToDoApp to remind me to do X in six hours" and MyToDoApp would add the reminder.

But it was only allowed for certain categories of app (strangely enough, categories where Apple didn't have a paid service). It wasn't permitted for music apps until a few years later, by which time Apple Music was established.

Similarly - when I connect my iPhone to my car over Bluetooth or wired connection[1] - with Spotify I get the normal play/pause/skip controls. But I can't see the upcoming play-queue, nor browse my playlists through the car's interface. If I listen through Apple Music, I can see not only my queue, playlists, albums and artists but also podcasts from the totally separate Apple Podcasts app.

Of course, the car interface is shite, but why can Apple's app do this and the third party not? Is it just that Spotify didn't bother implementing the relevant APIs or because those APIs were not available?

As a long-time Apple fan, my distrust of them is so great at the moment, I suspect the latter.

[1] The inbuilt head-unit doesn't do CarPlay, but I have a standalone wireless CarPlay screen. I like to connect the phone through Bluetooth (or wired) so the display unit shows my apps but I can adjust the volume and skip tracks using the steering wheel controls.
Yes, often. Sometimes I'll look at a throwaway item of packaging, and imagine all the engineering and design, material science and raw materials needed to construct a "single use" item such as a plastic bottle.

What seems of no value to us would have been amazing to someone from the past. What is thrown away today could be considered a priceless artifact in 2000 years (well, maybe.)

I'm reminded of that film, "The Gods Must Be Crazy!" If you haven't seen it, it's well worth a look.

Spoiler > A discarded glass cola bottle is found by a tribesman who discovers it has many abilities: it can hold water, it can crush grains, it is a weapon, it can start fires (lens effect), and it is even a musical instrument, by blowing into it.

To the tribesman it's an artifact sent by the gods. To the outside world, it's just a glass bottle that's been thrown away.
Not OP but working on a project in similar domain (ndaok.com). The technology is definitely making it easier to replace lawyers. The biggest barrier right now is lawyers themselves. In fact our project stopped trying to sell to lawyers because it's almost like they purposefully refuse to adapt new technology. Instead we've had success with customers trying to find a way not to use lawyers when they are not needed.

Analyzing Slow Python Code Using CProfile
Interview: Vernor Vinge (2008)
Generally I agree with your point, but there is some value in a parser that doesn’t have to be updated when the underlying HTML changes.

Whether or not this benefit outweighs the significant problems (cost, speed, accuracy and determinism) is up to the use case. For most use cases I can think of, the speed and accuracy of an actual parser would be preferable.

However, in situations where one is parsing highly dynamic HTML (eg if each business type had slightly different output, or you are scraping a site which updates the structure frequently and breaks your hand written parser) then this could be worth the accuracy loss.

It is an established rule that, “If a being has unity, it can only have issued from a single being, from one hand.” Particularly if it displays a comprehensive life within a perfect order and sensitive balance, it demonstrates self-evidently that it did not issue from numerous hands, which are the cause of conflict and confusion, but that it issued from a single hand that is All-Powerful and All-Wise.

Therefore, to attribute such a well-ordered and well-balanced being which has unity to the jumbled hands of innumerable, lifeless, ignorant, aggressive, unconscious, chaotic, blind and deaf natural causes, the blindness and deafness of which increase with their coming together and intermingling among the ways of numberless possibilities, is as unreasonable as accepting innumerable impossibilities all at once. If we leave this impossibility aside and assume that material causes have effects, these effects can only occur through direct contact and touch. However, the contact of natural causes is with the exteriors of living beings. And yet we see that the interiors of such beings (like a Single Cell) , where the hands of material causes can neither reach nor touch, are ten times more delicate, well-ordered and perfect as regards art than their exteriors. Therefore, although tiny animate creatures, on which the hands and organs of material causes can in no way be situated, indeed they cannot touch the creatures’ exteriors all at once even, are more strange and wonderful as regards their art and creation than the largest creatures, to attribute them to those lifeless, unknowing, crude, distant, vast, conflicting, deaf and blind causes can result only from a deafness and blindness compounded to the number of animate beings.(from light of Quran)
I thought microcode was an artifact of CISC architectures, while the Arm is a RISC architecture.
I'm surprised that this article left out how the training of the chick sexers actually happened.

Apparently it was:

- trainee picks up a chick and looks at the rear end

- they say "male" or "female"

- the instructor is standing behind them but offset so they can look over the should of trainee and still see the chick

- the instructor says either "correct" or "incorrect"

- this goes on until the trainee hits some level of accuracy

The thought here is that this is building a subconscious (some might say "zen like") ability to determine the sex. This is also why the successful trainees can't explain how it works: they weren't give explicit instructions to build a mental framework.

Some other examples of this:

People who learn a language organically at home vs in school. E.g. it's easy for me to translate Spanish to English b/c I learned it in high school. It's harder for me to translate Italian to English b/c I learned Italian organically and not via vocabulary mapping and class instruction.

Another example is the egg sushi scene from Jiro Dreams of Sushi. The junior chef just makes egg sushi every day until Jiro one day says "good".
It's not really out of control or complicated at all.

> Then every dev tool pastes some config into some of these config files.

This is why you see it to be complicated. Don't do this. The only thing you should really ever be editing is $PATH, and even then I'd argue not to. Do something else. Use direnv, source .env files, write wrapper scripts.

I don't put arbitrary shit into shell profiles or shell rc files, you're just asking for pain.

You should understand what you're doing before pasting arbitrary bits into these files.
The Edge browser "experience" was the final straw that pushed me over to MacOS. The whole in-your-face pushy behaviour in Edge is awful. I very often have to install software on new Windows servers and every time when I have to open the browser I have to go through the deshittifaction steps for the default home page and the whole "can I have all your data" wizard. Also Edge tend to "forget" privacy settings with new updates and re-enable many privacy invasive features like Page Preload, Bing etc. And you also have this Copilot sh*t and the whole sidebar with Coupons!?!?

“We also tested DMP activation patterns on other Apple processors and found that m2 and m3 CPUs also exhibit similar exploitable DMP behavior.”

Found this on the exploit site.

But it also says: "We observe that the DIT bit set on m3 CPUs effectively disables the DMP. This is not the case for the m1 and m2."

So if libraries set the DIT bit then M3 should be safe.

Last post can't be edited.

I got done loading a Nextcloud image and it works fine. It's also a different base server and configured differently, and it has IPv4 without extra cost. The only issue so far is that ffmpeg is not detected by Memories so transcoding cannot be enabled, even if I install the only app related to ffmpeg, "Automated media conversion." I'll have to keep reading to see if that's the right app. The server is managed in a way that I can't ssh or change anything Docker-related. I can only log in to Nextcloud at a given URL, so I don't know how run commands from the documentation such as "occ ..." With enough time, I can search if this is usable or not.

It will take probably 20 or 30 minutes to figure out running commands and if ffmpeg can be installed/accessed. I've already committed an hour to this platform even before uploading a single ARW, although I'm already farther along than I was with Photoprism...

EDIT: 24 minutes. I can run occ commands. I can't install ffmpeg. Many others have the same well-known problem: no video thumbnails. Oh well, not a dealbreaker.
I'm struggling to think of a reaction besides "what a textbook case of Stockholm Syndrome."

We certainly agree that there has been an erosion of computer skills among the younger generation(s) raised on appliance-like computing devices. No argument there. This is a loss. Full stop.

Where we might differ is the question of whether or not this is a good thing in the larger context. The fact that everybody had to become subject matter experts in personal computing just to be effective with a personal computer in the 1980s and 1990s was a byproduct of the fact that personal computing was incredibly buggy and user-unfriendly for multiple decades. If everything in life was as balky as computers were, we'd never get anything done as a freaking human race. How many f'ing hours did we waste as a human race just getting printer drivers to install?

I mean, think about all the hours you spent just getting printers to work and PCs to connect to the internet back in the day. It was rewarding in its own way, and it led to careers for many of us.

Now imagine if everything was like that. Imagine if you couldn't use your car, the HVAC system in your house, or kitchen appliances effectively without hundreds of ours of ad-hoc experience gained through troubleshooting.

For those that want to get their hands dirty, there's Linux and craploads of free development tools even on Mac and Linux. And for those that don't give a crap, computing devices function pretty well as appliances these days.
