> they make their products highly interoperable and integrated.

The 90s componentware comes to mind as a possible direction here. Allow interop & integration, but require it to be over public APIs that anyone can use.

I was a kid messing around with basic and c++ and then web for a lot of this time, but it seems the object-oriented world of the 90s was trying hard to create all manners of components that could integrate, embed, & use each other. Corba, DCOM, OLE, ActiveObjects, whatever NeXTStep was doing... this was going to be the future, before the internet showed up & rescoped the scale of interconnectivity to be beyond the machine level.

> This is systemic to big tech: as consumers, we need much more than flabby antitrust investigations. We need big tech to be dissolved completely, and a limit on the absolute size of tech companies so that

Not really sure if I'm opposed or not. But I do think we absolutely should have Competitive Compatibility/Adversarial Interoperability. We should be able to riff off & extend each other's software, without everyone making software getting to write whatever incredible legal moat their army of lawyers can masterfully craft around the products/business.

We are stuck in the old Ma Bell age, where Facebook says you can only use Facebook provided software to connect; it's so rampantly apparent that this hijacking of software & property law by contract law & terms of use - that gives companies whatever control they please - is a terrible curse & constraint on humanity. We need a Carterphone decision for the 21st century (for all software, not just the big softwares).

Isn't LZMA decompression pretty fast? For static assets its slow compression doesn't matter.
I would do some research on the industry, and then go direct to their websites and apply. You could also go to top tier VCs, look at their portfolio companies, then apply direct, such as:

My setup is a Samsung (A20, I think?) phone that my ex gf wasn't using when my previous phone broke. I use WhatsApp, Gmail, Instagram, Tinder, banking app some other normie shit. I do NOT use a VPN. When I search for porn I do it in Chrome, logged into my real-name Google account.

Sane choice, albeit delayed, as Zstandard has been the leading standard algorithm in the field for quite some time. I tested most of them for developing Pack [1] and Zstandard looked like the best alternative to the good old DEFLATE.

No technology should ever be mandatory and patented at the same time.
The trades are certainly not the panacea that some think them to be, and they have significant downsides (you very rarely see a roofer over 40, for example, that work is incredibly damaging).

But there's certainly a demand, and we need to get rid of the stigma that "a plumber" is somehow a dumber/worse person than "a lawyer".

The trades do relatively quickly get into "google salary" range, but they will rarely if ever reach "google stock grant" range. 15 years into being a plumber and you're probably managing multiple plumbers and could easily be netting $250k/yr or more.
This hides the dependencies from ldd doesn't it?
Why is this flagged? H5N1 is incredibly dangerous, with 60% human mortality, and could represent the next big threat to humanity. Let's hope the WHO and CEPI can get a head start on this one.
Not yet haha but even as a place to hang out and casually chat, it would be cool if the character occasionally rendered a cutscene to go along with narratives, or you could optionally enable music and sfx like an audiobook. Maybe the most interesting ones you could export (and distribute for others to experience).

Though I bet the transition from AI text chat to rich multimedia will be like silent films to talkies - where some characters just aren't as interesting with a voiceover or depicted in a video. For some types of characters (written storytellers, etc.) the best interactions might always be text-based.

I felt this with the Final Fantasy 7 Remake, though it's clearly improved from the 1997 version, something felt lost in the transition from the old pre-rendered scenes (drawings) and having to read the dialog in your head, to now having high-quality voiceovers in the best 3D scenes. Yet, if you take a Metal Gear Solid or a Madden - the richer the experience the better.

Ideally: You start out just wanting to go to the tavern and chat with a group of characters, but that interaction became so unexpectedly rich and entertaining you want to capture it, so you can watch it again or share it.
Used higher spec but older gen hardware is almost always better than trying to get new, low spec hardware.
Well, so no news?

But seriously, yes, I think I've seen people dismissing each one of those points. And now we have concrete proof they are real. The fact that somehow an scandal like this didn't happen before due to #1, 2, or 3 is almost incredible... on the meaning that a viable explanation is that somebody is suppressing knowledge somewhere.

Point 8 simply isn't going to happen. And that means that if you want secure OSS, you must pay somebody to look around and verify those things. And the problem with that is this means you are now into the software vendor political dump - anybody that gets big doing that is instantaneously untrustworthy.

Overall, my point is that we need some actual democratic governance on software. Because it's political by nature, and pushing for anarchy works just as well as with any other political body.
You can say the same thing about chess/go. A lifetime of experience didn't help people getting beat by computers.
In everything you are writing there seems to be a implicit assumption that there are incentives in place already that the monetary reward system would mess with. You made a lot of points I'd wavy to reply to but all of it is secondary to understanding that part better. I'm of the believe that if you don't set a incentive explicitly one will emerge that you didn't set. Ultimately people work in any institution to make a living, so they are also likely to try to get a promotion. What will get them that promotion if we don't set explicit goals and inventives around them? I'd argue that we are seeing that that's often times being personally liked by your coworkers and boss. That's a huge issue we are seeing in law enforcement right now where the main goal seems to be sticking together over actually serving the community. Now I know less about prison guard culture, but I'd bet similar dynamics exist.
Hard to guess if that means the reporting is based on propaganda to make Russia look bad vs. US agencies not wanting to admit to the world that Russia has a weapon they can't yet protect against. Both seem equally plausible to me.
So - this is the underlying reason of OP attitudes (a hypothesis). If it were the topic about plumbers - we'd discuss plumbers.

Btw, plumbers are definitely there not for easy money, not for super profits, not for fashion or for the hype.

Therefore they have 1000 times much more of my respect than all random mediocre programmers who just leveraged the temporary extreme lack of human resources — and now wining about the end of "golden age". And don't even have enough condifence in themselves and no respect for the craft to

That fact genuinely shocked me.
LineageOS + microg has been by go-to setup for a number of years. Plus a few other privacy enhancing tools like a vpn, a firewall, a hosts adblocker, and xPrivacyLua.
I think “never use X” is probably a bit far. But personally I can’t really think of a situation where I would rather have an ORM.

I used to use them all the time. When I started doing pure FP I just realized I just didn’t really need my old ORM. When I came back to OOP languages (out of necessity, not pleasure), I realized I didn’t really need my old ORM there either.

It’s not a strong opinion and it’s not a religious thing, it’s just a different perspective whereby you see that something isn’t really necessary.

Benefits or not, you do pay quite a heavy price for the ORM, and I think most people don’t see this price because it has been normalized so much.
This seems similar to building a RAG router (1) to perform dynamic retrieval/querying over data.

After getting hundreds of questions on my Interactive Resume AI chatbot (2), I've found the user queries can be categorized as: greeting, professional skills question, professional experience question, personal/hobby question and common interview question.

I am currently working on building a RAG router to help improve the quality of Q&A responses. I currently use gpt3.5 turbo without any special RAG techniques and the quality is lacking on performing Q&A over my resume and Q&A csv file. GPT4 works well but is too expensive.

What a guy....he is trying his best to gain people's trust and then shove a backdoor down your throat. And that smiley face at the end is just straight out trolling.
This is pretty accurate to my experience. Weed makes many relaxing activities more enjoyable. On nights when I had nothing planned and wanted a chill night at home, weed would make that more enjoyable. But then it became easy to justify smoking every night that I didn't have anything going... which is most nights. So, soon I was smoking basically every night.

That said, I feel like I drifted between the two categories you describe. Sometimes I'd chill on the couch and do nothing but consume. Others I'd feel inspired to do something productive, like work on a side project, clean the house, go for a walk, or practice guitar.

Huggingface has many, many fine tunes of Llama from different people, which don't ask that.

The requirement has always been more of a fig leaf than anything else. It allows Facebook to say everyone who downloaded from them agreed to some legal/ethics nonsense. Like all click-through license agreements nobody reads it; it's there so Facebook can pretend to be shocked when misuse of the model comes to light.
"A quote from Stalin was that, "I know that after my death a pile of rubbish will be heaped on my grave, but the winds of history will sooner or later sweep it away without mercy." And I think that's probably true of many people. How we see things in one era often looks very different in the future"

If anything, Stalin has an even worse reputation today as in the years after his death. And I actually hope this won't change, as it would mean viewing mass murder and totalitarism in a good light again.
our backyard in California is full of native plants, lavender, fennel, and tons of other pollinator friendly plants.

There are quite literally hundreds of bees basically working in our backyard every single day, 365 days a year. And it takes almost no effort other than some basic gardening. It's outrageously simple to support bees. It's comically absurd how difficult the world wants to make it seem.

The toy emitting "ut oh" on invalid input reminded me of a phonics toy - I think it was either a schoolbus or caterpillar, where phonemes could be pressed and it would sound them out "g-oo-d" "d-aw-g" - but if as a bored parent you tried "sh-ih-t" or similar it would emit "sh-<heeheehee>" I always wondered if it was localized per-market.
Yea it was pretty high up and then all the sudden page 3.

Nonsense. If a society is structured as such, it makes no difference what is "told". And who is doing this "telling" anyhow?
I don't understand/know how these investments are supposed to work?

Why aren't these investment allocations treated more like a microloan+ bounty program?

I think a good example of how these kinds of things could be done better is more the things like DARPA model: funding for slick idea shows up, private does smart things, public embraces smart thing to drive standards and costs down.

the fact that teslas charger is gaining adoption by more manufacturers is great. As an open design it also seems like something that could have been championed by the government.
As the wikipedia article says, the Hunter Biden laptop story was an obvious October surprise that ended up proving nothing about Joe Biden. There sure was disinfo being peddled during that saga, but not from the Democrats.
It's problematic as heck for a regulation to require a feature that's comprehensively patented by a single vendor, even when it's as important an innovation as the SawStop blade brake.

Other SawStop thoughts:

- Beyond the instant-stop thing - which is spectacular and really works - SawStop's are very well-made saws with solid tables, nice fences, and decent vacuum accessories; IMO, much higher quality manufacture across the board in general than a lot of competing models with similar specs.

- The brake works once, and then you have to replace the component for <$200. Much cheaper than a new thumb.

- Green wood can be wet enough to trigger the brake. You can disable the brake to cut green wood, but what if you don't? What if you cut dry wood with the brake disabled? A safety control like that is great if you know it's always on.
Once you have to remember to check before every cut...it's in the same realm as planning and executing every cut carefully.

Movie critics have always been somewhat of a "find one who makes you laugh, and read him". It, like much of journalism's output, is a form of entertainment itself. We like to pretend we read the news to be informed and educated, but it's really just some entertainment before work.

It's really popular online. I think that's because many people here read a lot of this content but don't actually have the skill or background to do analysis. So they give us history rather than examination. Which has some value, I suppose.

I'd suggest using your best judgement - no one here is advocating for orthodoxy. Times have changed over the last 2-3000 years, and things that were once practical may not be anymore.

I think you might be assuming that the only interpretation of religious text is that they are all-or-nothing affairs, across the board. One of the core tenets to Christianity is the recognition that everyone is going to sin (or not "adhere to the supposed wisdom of the divine" as you put it) and that they will still be forgiven.
This only makes sense in a back and forth with one other person:

I bought a Beelink PC for $125 off Amazon when I was considering an RPi. It's hooked up to my 65" TV. It runs plex, Youtube and Spotify and they is about all I want it for. I usually view 1080p movies but have done 4k without any issue unless they were bigger than 6 gigs.

It has been great and I have no complaints, except the wifi seems I bit slower on some torrent downloads than my laptop which is just 7 feet away from it. (I haven't delved into that to see if it is actually happening and if I can fix it.)

At the same time, I bought another for my elderly parents and they have used it for web and email with obviously no problem. They should be good with using it for that for another 5 years or more, assuming no hardware malfunction.

Overall, I would buy another BeeLink.
> Because 95% of journalists oppose that candidate

Well, as do like, 100% of the high-level bureaucrats that served said candidate in their previous presidency.

So, given that little tidbit, are those journalists actually unreasonable? And as a followup: if their position is mostly supported by facts, isn't "comforting and easy to promote" a secondary concern?

It means the libraries are only loaded when they are needed, so if you never use the (e.g.) xz compression feature, the xz library will not be loaded, and a backdoor added in the xz library simply can't trigger.

(Another side note is this may change the initialization order of libraries--so the initialization functions of an xz library don't run until xz is first used, and this may fail to let you intercept the ssh routines in time.)

Mine is in the living room with the HDMI attached to my TV, but I RDP into it for most things. I installed WSL and and initially ran Plex from Docker, but switched to Windows native as it is simpler to setup and maintain.
Orb | Software Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, SRE | San Francisco, CA (in-person) | Full Time

Orb is building billing infrastructure for modern companies. As companies grow and evolve, the ability to change their pricing and packaging is often limited by the sheer complexity of the engineering effort involved to make those changes. I experienced these challenges first hand and my desire to solve this problem is what led me to start Orb.

At Orb, we're looking to fill a handful of engineering roles including:

Ive been using a i5 7260u NUC as my proxmox box for sometime but my parents need to move from their 2010 pentium dual core to something more current.
I thought of giving them the nuc (I don’t want them to have to deal with driver issues or unknown reliability) and I got myself a beelink s12 pro (since I can put up with those things)

I haven’t even booted it yet but I’m starting to think that a I should get them a Lenovo tiny and just keep my nuc as is. I hadn’t thought about the bios malware and now I’m concerned.

The main reason I went with the n100 was the power usage for me (my power is 50c/kWh, theirs is like 1/10 that). The nuc is around 20-30w average, I guess I can put up with that.
