You make two short-sighted assumptions:

1. "Nobody compiles a kernel these days". Sure, maybe not for daily use for most, but lots of people do for work and experimentation. Also, Gentoo.

2. "Everybody runs a modern CPU". Plenty of people still run decade-old hardware, and even older, because it works and in that decade objectives of PC have not significantly changed, so why would hardware?

Nothing is absolute in biology. Your edge case can happen, but the chance it happens is so low that it might as well be your body naturally created the tumor in the first place.

As someone who handle cells on a daily basis, I can confidently say these things are the most fragile things ever. You look at them wrong and they will be hurt, literally. What's that? Somebody forgot to feed me today? Welp, time to die. Oh wait, you actually fed me a day earlier? Well, dying time I guess. Hmm, you fed me on the right day but the feed was not warmed up? You guess it, straight to the grave.

For them to be frozen, put in a plastic bag, thawed out, left out for an hour, then exposed to your immune system who gonna be overzealous in killing them and asking them to survive and grow into a tumor is like asking is there a chance a cosmic ray gonna flip a bit in my hard drive and completely corrupt all my data.
20 years is not a very long time and people are still learning c. My 17 year old intern learned c in college and prefers it over ‘modern crap’ (his words, but he wasn’t talking about rust; JavaScript). We do embedded (low powered mcu’s with a few kb of mem) and I too prefer c over rust for it; it’s a lot easier to attract c than rust people in my experience for this work. Most never touched rust and wouldn’t see a reason for it. Many of them are young.

In large quantities*. It's still very nutritious and dense in important stuff like iron, protein, so consumption in limited quantities is OK. Eating 500g of it twice a day is not.
Though shouldn't be that hard to know if you are being spoofed. You probably have a decent idea of how much the IRS drifts and any large deviations from that or unexpected jumps in GPS should be noted and possibly, maybe manually, rolled-back so that the IRS only considers data before that point.

I understand that current civilian aircraft wasn't designed with that in mind though.

Guess the holy ghost is in for a suprise then. Detecting genAI has been beyond mere intuition for months, possibly years for the less intuitive.
Most animals in the wild live very tough, short lives and have high likelihood that they be killed and eaten by predators, so they live every second of their lives in fear. I am not convinced that when animals are grown by humans in appropriate conditions (i.e. not overcrowded sausage factories), given all the food they need and able to "enjoy" (this is a human emotion, but perhaps they have an analogous "feeling" when out in nature?) nature while being protected, it's really wrong. We are part of nature and our physiology made us capable of eating meat, just like all other predators. Do you believe all predators are "morally wrong", or only humans?? Denying our nature never seems like a very wise thing.

And don't be Jane either, extending your working hours at home just to help someone out of your normal duties is a recipe for an eventual burnout.

The balance is in being both: good, productive, amicable, helpful to others while also knowing that you deserve a life outside of work.

This infatuation with killing yourselves for work (mostly Americans but also in Brazil and some other cultures) have is really not healthy, to yourself and to other workers that you put under pressure because you do more than what you're paid for. You're not being a great employee, you're being an exploited employee, and leaving the door open to normalise this exploitation to others that might have other priorities after working hours.

From my time with leading teams I wouldn't hire Jane, I have done it before and eventually the team falls apart because others feel pressured to work more than they are being paid for/willing simply to keep up with the Janes of the world, it crumbles team morale.
> Rust lowers the bar for contributing

Not sure I agree with that. C is a very easy language to learn. The problem with it is that you have to be careful with memory management. That does take effort to learn, and I still make mistakes after writing C for over 20 years.

I love Rust, but it is a very complex language, with a complex, full-featured stdlib, and rich, sometimes-inscrutable type system. It is more difficult to learn than C, but also more difficult (and sometimes impossible) to make many of the mistakes that you can make in C.

Every time this topic comes up the author either ignores or doesn’t know about the many solutions available in the US, and cites $35 wire transfer fees as if everyone had to do that.

PayPal, Zelle, Wise, Venmo, Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc. all do person to person transfers quickly and either free or very cheap. We’ve had those for years. US banks have tended to partner with the third parties rather than push their own low-profit solution.

As tomcam said, why not self-publish? There are lots of options for self-publishing both ebooks and print books nowadays (in formats like PDF and ePub), and many options for selling them too.

Plus, it is not mutually exclusive with going with a traditional publisher. You can do both.

And you may be able to negotiate a better deal with a publisher if you sell some books on your own first. I've read that some people have done that.
> Sounds like a sound design to me. If he gets sued at least he can argue he did everything reasonable to prevent and quench a battery fire. That's how gen 4 nuclear power stations are designed to cool the core in the event of a loss of coolant incident.

"Sounds like a sound design" isn't sufficient engineering; doing everything reasonable would include testing or using an existing tested design; and nuclear power station designs certainly are tested.
I completely agree, and, also suggest we bring bunch of sub-scale models down to somewhere open on Earth, like middle of North America, African desert, Australia, off its coast, somewhere giant and flat. It will provide safe opportunity to master environmental control before testing in production, as well as means to supply habitable megastructures cheaply.

Their Q&A essentially says you can no longer build anything that is commercial using Redis, except as a partner. That's exactly the opposite of what the SSPL License says.

"this definition would include hosting or embedding Redis as part of a solution that is sold competitively"

Sure this limits the condition to competing offerings. However in reality that's a huge stop sign. It essentially means "we'll get you" because whatever service/product you offer that somehow includes or so much as touches Redis they can always argue that you are effectively competing. That is they can always make the case that this would have been business to them if only.

> My 17 year old intern learned c in college and prefers it over ‘modern crap’

I had a lot of opinions like this too when I was 17, but age and experience has disabused me of many of them.

The embedded story on Rust still has many rough edges, but it's improving every day, and I could easily see it replace C in many places, given enough time (I wouldn't be too surprised if we eventually see companies distributing a BSP that's written in Rust).

Frankly, at this point in time, I think it's foolish to start a new project in C unless you have a really good reason to do so. Many embedded systems certainly qualify as a really good reason, but I very much hope that reason diminishes over time.

I contributed a few LOC to Redis in the past (before "Redis Labs" had taken over), but never signed a CLA or assigned Copyright (that's not even possible in my country of origin). I realize that under the permissive license that I published my contributions under, they can very well do what they are doing. That they are doing it, is disappointing nonetheless. I guess there are more people like me out there, with vastly more important contributions, who feel about the same. I, for one, will not contribute to the project under this new license any more.

What a shame.
A bit off-topic, but can a Mormon explain the reason why Mormons have a lot of kids?

OpenAI Decompiling Copyrighted Code
Hello everyone. I recently received a notification from OpenAI indicating that one of my API keys was found on GitHub and has been deactivated.

Shutting down the APIKEY itself was not the issue (let's face it, mistake on our side).

The issue arises because the API key was contained within a copyrighted Java jar file, which was hosted on a public repository and used as a dependency.
This situation suggests that OpenAI is decompiling packaged code, including jar files, and potentially reverse-engineering minified JavaScript files that are copyrighted.

In essence, I'm worried that OpenAI may be accessing and utilizing copyrighted code for training purposes.
(why else would they be decompiling other peoples code? I can't see they would implement decompilation and throw away an opportunity)

Any thoughts? Are there a recommended approach or any channels through which this issue can be addressed?
And I mentioned an example explicitly by saying SVT was unwilling to report on immigration policies issues for a while, what's your point? I did agree there is bias in any news media, but bias isn't black-and-white in determining the reputation of a news/media agency, there's a point where it's detrimental and there's a natural point where it's expected but does not affect the reporting as much to disregard the organisation as a whole.

There's worlds of difference between what Fox News does and what SVT does, I'd much rather live in a society where SVT provides news to a large cohort of the population rather than Fox News.

You stating the obvious is not moving this discussion forward... Your bias against state-owned enterprises is clear, not only from this chain of comments, still in this case it's unfounded and just your ideology.
I'm sure you do, but that changes nothing about the problematic nature of Amazon's relationship with a lot of projects it interacts with, which is really what this is about: "Amazon thinks that by throwing some contributions at a project offsets for depriving a project of its main revenue". Well, it doesn't. My landlord and Tesco doesn't accept code contributions as payment. This is why this keeps happening again and again with all sort of projects. You reap what you sow.

IPC: Memory Mapped Files
Around a decade ago, I was introduced to a couple people who it turned out worked at nvidia. After a bunch of conversation, nouveau came up; they were intensely negative about it, mocking it and its developers, criticizing its existence, even, and declaring it would never amount to anything. (Meanwhile, I was running it on a computer at home and it was significantly more stable than the nvidia proprietary driver at the time, and performed well enough for my use.)

I wish I'd had more conversational courage at the time to "stand up" for nouveau with them; it was super rude to shit on someone else's hard work, especially when the reason why they had to do that hard work was because nvidia was a bunch of jerks with a shitty FOSS policy.

I know the LTR isn't specifically for digital nomads, but if you qualify, it's another visa to relocate to Thailand, and work legally. Just as many of the other visas, some people will be excluded due to income or degree requirements, so I don't see this as any different.

Many of the - what I consider - digital nomad visas, aren't specifically called that, but I think digital nomads are still a group that qualifies for them.

The question isn't why the action would hurt the US, the question is what is the motivating ideology behind the action.

I am open to believing it's to provoke engagement and therefore profit which makes TikTok no better than American social media and an agent that profits from the suffering of Gazans.

I am open to believing it's to try to further drive dissatisfaction with our government that is wrongly supporting Israel (likely for realpolitik reasons that can't be openly discussed, which still don't justify our support of genocide).

I am not at all open to believing it's because China has any empathy for Gazan citizens or belief that genocide is wrong. The "One Israel" policy robs Gazans of statehood. Lack of statehood is a key ingredient to genocide. China has the One China policy explicitly to rob Taiwanese of statehood and therefore make them vulnerable to genocide and/or justify their colonization efforts (as seen in tibet, xinjiang, and hong kong).

It very well might be that the US government wants to be able to force their support for genocide and see TikTok as an agent of resistance. That is the small truth. The big truth is that TikTok is a credible threat to American security, a threat China sees as so big that they enacted a ban on foreign social media within their borders with a major and society effecting piece of engineering.

The point is that TikTok is like a gun, it is a gun in our enemies hands. It is a gun in the hands of an enemy that is building an army to be used against us. It is a gun in the hands of an entity that has repeatedly and openly said they are willing to do the same thing Israel is doing to Gaza, to Taiwan.

I strongly do not believe that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
