Bro, Java and python just got it. Lisps don't include it because it's just another lib/extension. Even emacs had one (see the recent pcase lawn article)
"Think" being the operative word. Paradigms are mental models of computation and organization. The benefit of designing a language around a single model is ease of understanding. The downside is that this locks the developer into a single way of looking at things, which may not always be the best match for the domain. Multi-paradigm approaches (most modern langs) broaden the available options, but at the cost of greater cognitive load.
Other than travel (car rental, visas etc) or KYC from banks, what other sites do this? I haven't experienced this much in Europe.
There are three things I find LLMs really excellent at for coding:

1. Being the "senior developer" who spend their whole career working with a technology you're very junior at. No matter what you do and how long your programming career is, you're inevitably going to run into one of these sooner or later. Whether it's build scripts, frontend code, interfacing with third-party APIs or something else entirely, you aren't an expert at every technology you work with.

2. Writing the "boring" parts of your program, and every program has some of these. If you're writing a service to fooize a bar really efficiently, Copilot won't help you with the core bar fooization algorithm, but will make you a lot faster at coding up user authentication, rate limiting for different plans, billing in whatever obscure payment method your country uses etc.

3. Telling you what to even Google for. This is where raw Chat GPT comes into play, not Copilot. Let's say you need a sorting algorithm that preserves the order of equal elements from the original list. This is called stable sorting, and Googling for stable sorting is a good way to find what you're looking for, but Chat GPT is usually a better way to tell you what it's called based on the problem description.

The build scripts of OpenSSH are irrelevant. The malicious code is embedded on building an rpm or deb for liblzma itself and becomes active when the dynamic library is loaded. There is a recent PR for systemd that instead of linking to the compressors during build dlopen-s them when used (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/31550) which disables this particular path, but any initial load of a backdoored liblzma makes sshd exploitable (see https://lwn.net/ml/oss-security/20240329155126.kjjfduxw2yrlx..., section "Analyzing the injected code").

Lennart Poettering stated on a mailing list that e.g. libselinux als links liblzma and ends up in a lot of services on SELinux-enabled systems.

If you're writing something that will run on someone's local machine I think we're at the point where you can start building with the assumption that they'll have a local, fast, decent LLM.
Apple could unlock so much compute if they give customers a sort of “Apple@Home” deal. Allow Apple to run distributed AI workloads on your mostly idle extremely overpowered Word/Excel/VSCode machine, and you get compensation dropped straight into your Apple account’s linked creditcard.

A Fresh Frontier for OpenMW: Embracing Unity
If I'm reading the post correctly, Llamafile is faster than llama.cpp, despite the author upstreaming some of the changes. What's the reason for this?
It's no different from the HDD master / slave argument of old. Are we also going to stop calling connectors male and female? This is just common nomenclature. I don't think any offense was ever inserted when these terms were being created nor while they are in use today.

Unless there is good evidence that the guy who came up with the master / slave wording was intentionally doing it to remind people of slavery, (or something to that effect) there is no issue here. As for white / black list and male / female...just come on now. That's unreasonable and ridiculous.

Is this seriously what people are getting upset about? That the words white and black are being used? They're taking completely benign words and assigning malicious meaning to them where none exists. It's manufactured outrage. If you smell shit everywhere you look, check your shoes.

Frankly this just furthers the racial divide and I think it's done intentionally to keep up apart. This isn't progress, it's just more racism honestly.
That is the nice thing about German contract law. If you as a private person (v.s. a head of a business) sign a contract, you are widely protected from unfair contract terms. This applies to any contract but especially employment or rent contracts.
I initially wrote this as a reply to a comment by "NotGMan" mentioning fasting/paleo that got flagged. They could have approached the subject more delicately but I believe they have a point.

About 3 years ago I had gut issues so bad I thought I was close to death. NHS couldn't see any problems and were basically telling me I'd gone nuts. They refused to do any further testing.

After a year of suffering I tried a 7 day water-only fast and the pain finally went away. I broke fast with only paleo foods and stayed that way for 6 months. I gradually introduced other foods after that period with the last being gluten about 2 years after the initial fast. I am almost cured, however I will never abuse my gut in the same way again. Less carbs, more salads...

This is just my personal experience of course but I have discovered so many other people with similar gut issues who are also being ignored by their doctors that you can't blame one for wondering if there is a conspiracy at play.

I wouldn't have believed any of this a few years ago but now I have serious doubts in modern medicine's ability to deal with chronic health issues, especially in the gut.

We do eat so many more processed foods (and other things) that it doesn't require that much of a stretch to the imagination that diet is a part of the problem or indeed the root cause.

Lack of openmindedness bothers me immensely and the nature of human biology is under no obligation to fit into tidy boxes for the sake of our understanding. The real world is fuzzy.

The person you're replying to is not describing skimming, they're describing reading instead of "sounding it out".

Your technique seems able to help people who likely learned to read with a ruler hiding upcoming lines, or with a finger pointing at the word they say aloud, and people who read with subvocalization.

Such readers generally process text at not much higher rates than speech, and often prefer audio books or YouTube which add visuals or emotion since reading holds no particular advantage.

Other readers take in chunks of meaning, mapping from word form sequences to concepts without going through phonics. It's not skimming. (It's possible it's the same pathway but subconscious instead of aware of the tracking and subvocalization.) These readers can still play back the individual words, with the same recall accuracy as the word by word or sound by sound readers. For these folks, audio books and YouTube are an excruciatingly slow way to transfer information.

These faster readers are "close reading", not skimming. They are reading every word, but mapping word shapes into phrases at a time (perhaps similar to how LLMs can correctly answer completely typo-garbled questions).

The difference between these methods of reading is at least 4x and often 10x or more speed with the same or better concept learning and recall.

Your method is clearly (pun intended) able to assist those who would 'need' the ruler or fingertip to go sound by sound or word by word, with crossing end of line to start of next. (Likely similar reasons some folks read web pages successively highlighting lines with their mouse; your approach would likely help them too.)

But as you're seeing in these comments, it generally brings sequence absorbers to a crashing slowdown.
Any idea why off East Coast of US, the temperature seems to pulsate.

> How many of those backdoors are still to be discovered?

Since keeping such backdoor hidden in plain sight is extremely hard and required tons of preparation and social engineering spanning multiple projects, the answer is probably a function of number of those already discovered. As we don't discover years-old similar backdoors every now and then and had discovered this one pretty quickly, this might very well be the very first one that came this far.

Also, what's "sheer chance" for an individual is "enough eyeballs" for a collectivity.
Same problem with cigarette smoke though.
It's not that simple. You can falsify a lot of things, but you can't easily falsify the working hours at which you reply to issues or push commits without taking a lot of care. Especially when DST has to be considered.

Sure, the +0800 timestamps are definitely fake. A handful of timestamps that were later scrubbed show +0200 and +0300, though. And all the commits match 9am to 6pm working hours if you interpret them as +0200/+0300. The working hours even shift around correctly with the DST change.

The issue is that russia doesn't observe DST anymore. That leaves Bulgaria, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Israel, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Moldova, Romania and Ukraine. Very few of those have the infosec capabilities needed for something like this.

Jia Tan was registered in 2021, but first sprung into action during the buildup to the russian invasion of Ukraine 2022.

Jia Tan also used a VPN provider that's headquartered in the US. That only makes sense if they're in a US-aligned country, as using a US VPN would give the US more insight into what you're doing, and only protect you from other countries.

Personally, I'd guess that it was Israeli intelligence. But Finland, where the original XZ author lives, is another interesting possibility.
> What specifically are teh workflow issues people have with teams?

The "channels" and accompanying wiki/file store is simply sharepoint with a different web-ui -- and it inherits all the problems of original sharepoint, i.e., it is where documents go to die.

It fails miserably to recognize when the system is "locked" and to "STFU" with its bleeps/blurbs/rings for new IM's/phone calls/whatever else it decides to be noisy about. Locked system means "not at work" which should mean "no noises from you, ever".

If you first initiate a screen share with someone, you can not add in a voice call (thereby making the screen share rather less than useful in most instances). Yet, if you begin a voice call first, you can then add in a screen share and keep the voice call going.

It is an "electron" app, so it is the single biggest resource hog (second only to Win11 itself) on the system. It even manages to out-hog Google Chrome by about 50% or better, which given Chrome's legendary hogginess is a testament to MS's ability to produce bloated software.

Just about the only thing it does get right is holding meetings. Click the link, meeting widow opens, hold meeting, click "leave" when done.
The problem is that your VM provider is (unwittingly) offering the same address space to spammers. Maybe the spammer was using random addresses in the range? Or someone was starting up misconfigured smtp servers permitting relaying.

Running an outbound smtp server on a customer ip-range is going to be problematic anyway. All such ranges can be considered suspicious since the spammers who use them don't care about their standing.
respectfully, fuck that. it's not an "option" to verify with private companies because those companies make basically the sole decision about how ID and auth are set up. by making it easy, making it like a "sign in with google" button, the government spreads this further

we created unions because although employment is technically a free choice, a few companies hold huge power on negotiations relative to one tiny, individual worker. similarly, this may be a "voluntary adoption" but in practice is not. privacy has no value to companies and destroying it is worth 50% lower fraud

i don't have a good philosophical basis for this but am actually a strong believer in leaving open the possibility to commit crimes. so we should go back to circulating large-denomination bills, reduce the burden of KYC, and not create this non-falsifiable new ID regime
No it isn't, you've linked an un-merged RFC.

You might want to take a step back and think about how you ended up where you are. I mean no offense by this, but it's worth asking yourself why you're in this spot to begin with. The divide you're talking about? You've actually hit the nail on the head describing it.

Let's face it: you're in a role that might seem a bit superficial, and yes, the pay is more than generous. Maybe it's time to own up to that reality. Let the developers do their magic; after all, that's what they're here for.

There's this fascinating case about the EBT card system across different states in the US. They noticed something intriguing: a couple of states managed to roll out their systems smoothly, staying under budget and finishing early. So, naturally, everyone wanted to know their secret. Turns out, these successful states had one thing in common – they handed the reins over to the actual developers. No fuss, no frills, just straight-up development work, and it paid off big time.

On the flip side, the states that ended up way over their budgets and deadlines? Those projects were bogged down by external consultants and layers of consultancy. It's a clear message: sometimes, keeping it simple and trusting the people directly doing the work is the best approach.
I kinda like it, it's comfortable and pragmatic. I don't have to look at the docs to figure out what's the format specifier for something like a size_t, and you can easily add support for whatever might be needed, so you can comfortably do:

std::cout << "Player is at" << _player_pos;

And get the x/y/z breakdown automatically.

It's likely that the commercial software uses a lot of open source libraries. Maybe with attribution, maybe not. Decent chance they periodically download whatever the latest version is and link it into their software without reading it.
These are knockout mice where they have changed the CMAH gene to mirror how it is in humans. Of course there is no 1-to-1 correlation, but we can hypothesize about why the dietary change works now that we have an idea of the underlying mechanism.
> 1a. As a consequence of (1) autogenerated artifacts should always be committed.

I philosophically and fundamentally hate this suggestion, but have to agree with it. It's going to make porting harder, but is sadly a cost worth paying.

> dependencies are maintenance burden and a security risk, this needs to be weighted against the functionality they bring in

Tough call. A major library is more likely to be bug fixed and tuned than something you write (which is a good reason to use them which is what makes them attractive as an attack vector). Getting this right requires taste and experience. The comment says "depending on large libraries for small amounts of functionality [is bad but thought to be good]". What constitutes "small amount" vs large requires experience. Certainly cases of this tip my bias towards re-implement vs re-use.

In a lot of industries the main issue is productivisme. A lot of what we do now could be made safer and better if we just slowed down and did it the right way.

But since all we care about is maximise the output and minimise the cost its a losing battle.
This presumes the market isn't satisfied already. I doubt the market will expand much. It hasn't been hard at all to get weed, before. Whoever wanted to smoke, got theirs.

In Germany, you always had a lot of "deutsche Hecke" (cannabis grown in Germany) on the market. Lots of small operations. While still illegal, it isn't unethical and certainly doesn't involve slaves...

While more or less impossible to have legal (non-medical) weed right this moment, I very much doubt cannabis grown outside Germany will be attractive much longer. Because it's ethically questionable, because it's been in someone's butt, because it's often cut with dangerous substances, because you can't trust its quality and because you don't want to get involved with street pushers. Technically, you will have a "black-market", but it won't be the ultra criminal gangsters running the show. It's gonna be a friend-of-a-friend who's growing more than they are allowed to, selling off the extra.

There will be a questionable market for "doctors" writing prescriptions for medical weed now. A situation you find in many countries already. That's just the parasitic business you get with still restrictive legislation. Many people will go this route. Not because it's cheaper, but because getting weed this way is trusted, convenient and reliable. Medical weed costs about the same as high quality weed on the street before legalization. Prices will go down, margins will be smaller.
IMHO that's a bad idea - making government services depend on a commercial entity. The bank can close your account with them at will.

In Norway and Sweden they also have something similar called BankID.

The Starfox PCB has a bunch of traces going off the board, I'm guessing that's for a program & test harness used during manufacturing? I've never seen that done before. Was that a common practice back in the day? Nowadays we would put pads on the board and use a bed of nails to do that.
A bored kid would be bad from the potential for this type of threat to be more prolific.

A nation state would utilize this attack chain to steal copious mounts of sensitive data and prepare infrastructure for coordinated attacks on critical infrastructure and intellectual property.

The threat is relevant because it informs us about their strategy. If you expert security experts to prevent this, they need to know why they’re preventing and have some concept of the realism of any given notional threat. There’s aren’t enough of us to address every threat.
You're not the only one, but it's hard to say. Does Reuters ever pull off April's Fool? I have no knowledge nor precedent.

I mean, you aren't wrong, necessarily. I suspect you will find humanity has gone to amazing lengths to have safe food at the levels that we can have it today. Eye opener for many is to know that any wild caught food almost certainly has parasites and you better cook the heck out of it.

And this isn't limited to meat. Picking up food in the wild can be a very risky proposition. Even if you know what mushrooms are safe, good luck. Find some water? How long has it been sitting there?

Simply put, if you are hunting for things to scare you at the microscopic level, you don't have to hunt far. No matter what you eat, at a general level.
You understand foreign interests moulding American policy are inherently worse than domestic ones, yes? There's a reason why we ban foreign donations to political candidates and why we require lobbyists of foreign interests to register.
I think the abuse is unfixable. Being exposed to many people just exposes you to many strange people. It is like how celebrities get paranoid and try to not be seen, since they are magnets for strange people that recognize them.

If Gleam is imperative by your logic, then Scheme and the whole ML family (SML, OCaml) would be imperative as well. That's a strange choice of semantics. Even Haskell has unsafePerformIO, which it might sadly need.
I partially agree with your comment. It is more likely that I imagine the “forms” of a “car” which are colourless, but if I had to imagine a Holden Commodore (which my father owned) it would be much less abstract and definitely red.

Most dreams I have are that dark, hazy abstract kind of thing, but if I enter into a lucid dream it not only becomes ‘pixel perfect’, it somehow appears more visually detailed than reality.

I’ve also discovered that I can produce extremely vivid, temporary images if consciously focus on visualization just before or after sleep, or during meditation, but I don’t really have any control over what these images actually entail. I would say these images are closer to what you might be referring by to as pixel perfect, even if they are images formed from clouds in the minds eye.
I searched the article for the word "Antikythera" in vain. If I wanted to be uncharitable, I would guess it was hard to argue that the Antikythera mechanism was not a computer and that would have introduced too much nuance to the author's argument so it was left out. But is the charitable interpretation of the omission really that the author ignores the existence of the Antikythera mechanism? I'm not so sure.
