Yes, and plenty of people quit the mines in company towns, and went to work in the big city. Considerable practical buyer or worker choice may exist, in an emerging monopolistic situation. Monopoly concerns aren't always the evil villain literally destroying all competitors, a single really large company can just be so big it distorts the market everywhere it turns. For an example on the consumer side, think Microsoft in the 1990s and early 2000s. In hindsight, obviously some monopoly concerns, even though there was niche and viable competition, in every sector they competed in.
It looks manageable to most of us because we don't know who was targeted and what would have happened if they weren't.

We don't even know what whistleblowers were caught before they could publish their information, and we don't know what information that would have been.

Imagine if nobody ever leaked what Edward Snowden did. Imagine that something similarly important, anywhere in the world, has not been leaked because of successfully exploited vulnerabilities.
I think it's better to look at it like the old AOL client? I've used Opera on and off for ~20 years, and in that time I've seen it strive to be more like a "Web OS"
One reason to push for city density is so suburb life is more accessible to the people who want it. As it stands everyone is competing for a limited amount of suburban land and it's not sustainable.

I'm not sure what you mean by "stoned" in this context (or seemingly putting neoliberalism and anarcho-capitalism on equal footing), but I 100% agree with the rest of your statement. It'd be nice if we could reanimate Jack Welch and Milton Friedman for public spankings, because they're (among a few choice others, including one 1980s U.S. president) a huge part of why things are the way they are right now.

ts-node does type checking by default using `tsc`. Bun does not, so this isn't an equivalent comparison
You should not because on Earth, where gravity is relatively strong compared to the Moon, time runs slightly slower due to the gravitational time dilation effect. This means that clocks on Earth tick slightly slower compared to identical clocks in a region of weaker gravity, such as on the Moon's surface. So the UTC is from Earth perspective.

From rough calculations, the time experienced on the surface of the Moon is 0.99999999999848 times the experienced on Earth
> But Nasa is not the only one trying to make lunar time a reality. The European Space Agency has also been developing a new time system for a while.

Great, lunar time hasn’t even been established and we already have two time zones.
So I can have an AI summarise the 5000 word essay the author used an AI to write?
It will indeed most likely be unheeded. We already have a huge issue with mines, unexploded bombs and artillery shells laying around in many place on the globe, and ukraine has become one of the most mined country in the world. 174,000 square kilometers of Ukraine is said to be contaminated by mines. No amount of warnings will prevent accidental deaths in the future, and expecting people to never return is unrealistic.
Of course paying higher salaries is a big part of it. Yes, they're also somewhat prestigious to some people and imagine there's at least some interesting work. But it's lot like they're chaining people to their desks or generally forcing people into unbreakable long-term employment contracts. In CA, there aren't even non-competes generally.

Most people at Google, to name one, are free to walk out the door tomorrow.
They have also an amazing track of sunsetting apps that are not overhemdly profitable, like a few billons per year...

These strikes bear all the hallmarks of intentional targeting. The IDF isn’t even claiming (for now) that the strikes weren’t intentional, shifting the blame on an unnamed commander[1].

No, I think it is far more likely that Israel is using starvation as a weapon. There is a looming famine in Norther Gaza, Israel is under orders from the ICJ to allow aid to flow to Gaza, but hasn’t complied. These aid workers were getting aid into Gaza, this is against Israel’s strategy of starving Palestinians, so they targeted the aid workers. Eliminating both them, and sending a message to other aid workers that if they try and help starving Palestinians, they might be targeted and killed.

Taiwan Quake Puts Most Advanced Chips at Risk
I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that Apple is super aggressively swinging their hammer to protect their brand.

During a technical talk at a nieche conference, a speaker had an apple logo on a slide, along other logos, to illustrate devices.

An Apple employee stood up and shut down the whole presentation, demanding that the presenter, RIGHT NOW, edit the slides to remove the apple logo, or he would not "let" the presentation continue.

Representatives from other companies did not care about their logo also being up there.
Interesting but not very useful without smartphone client apps.
You can't use any time for observers in different reference frames as the length of a second will be different. UTC is generally fine as far as normal time goes as we're all in roughly the same reference frame on Earth, and indeed anywhere in the Solar System. It would still drift by noticeable milliseconds per year, but we can cope with leap seconds just fine with UTC and that's a larger drift.

You'd probably want to avoid leap seconds and use TAI though, but we should avoid leap seconds anyway IMO.
Why are you advocating for the government to take control of open source projects? Is anyone here naïve enough to believe that, after being persuaded of the national security interests of these projects, they're just going to hand over money to the random people who maintain them to keep doing what they're doing? The U.S. Govt isn't Santa Claus. Look at what they did to the farming industry. Most people used to be farmers and now there aren't many farms at all, since most of it's being done by big companies. Applying that idea to open source means the government would use regulation to prevent community developers from having their software used in production, and all future work on open source code would have to be done by engineers at big tech companies. In many ways that's already the de facto system we have today. So if you get the government involved, it'll just become law, and the lone wolves in open source who big tech doesn't want to hire will be fined, sent to jail, etc. Read "Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal" by Joel Salatin.
Its not about how anyone feels, but about making sure that we have accurate time reference on moon for stuff like positioning and networking, the same way GPS is used on Earth and also relies on precision timekeeping.
Looks like geohot is now advertising Team Green and Team Red options with the latter being $10k cheaper.

tinybox green - 6x NVIDIA RTX 4090 ($25k)

You came here to do ML and you want it to just work. You like checking out the latest open source ML stuff on GitHub. gpt-fast. You want
your Attention to be CUDA quality FlashAttention. You want FP8. A solid box for the ML researcher. A solid box for the tinygrad developer. A solid
box for everyone. It's just a little expensive.

tinybox red - 6x AMD 7900XTX ($15k)

You came here for the hardware.

You want to be a part of the journey. Make AMD great, with or without their help. Sure, it works for ML, mostly. Just maybe you have to reboot it sometimes. tinygrad
does work well enough to get AMD on MLPerf at least. You buy the red box because you want to mess with kernel drivers and shader
engines. You know what a warp is. You like that you can see the MMIO with umr.
RDNA3 is documented! You want to get every bit of perf out of the metal.

The specs are similar to green, except it's $10k cheaper.

They have religion backwards. People don't create religions, and religions don't create rituals - rituals emerged and religion emerged after. Taleb puts it very well here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuJD5Zfqti8

It's funny because there's a trend these days of scientizing everything, including religion, and what these guys proposed instead is to religionize science. They think they need to disguise wisdom with myth, as if that's what religion is. It seems they don't understand religion - not good!
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that there is at least some effort to bring these models local instead of shoving even more personal data into servers and who knows where it is going.

But I am really frustrated by LLM's being installed into nearly everything with no real value. We still have fundemtal issues with the tech like it hallucinating and giving straight up bad information.

The idea that it is being shoved into things, being normalized, is going to bite us real hard and I frankly hope soon.

Also, like someone else said. Browsers are getting way too complicated.
Agreed. The premise was astoundingly silly, and the plot was "both good and original; but the part that is good is not original, and the part that is original is not good". I really do not know why some people rate this film so highly.
In a world where AirPods are ubiquitous, what value does such a niche product provide? Apple could easily add the same feature to something a huge number of people already own.

>Sorry but you're not going to convince me that high wages are a bad thing.

that's like saying all movies on demand for one subscription is a bad thing. It isn't... until it creeps into being a bad thing.

The high wages were the attractive bailey no one can argue with and we're seeing the motte rear its ugly head in a time where they are nigh impossible to compete with. I don't think "encouraging more engineers" is a good mechanism to encourage a monopoly.
It's impossible for me to disconnect articles like this from the concepts of white flight and the practices of redlining. The city is now where "those people" are, and the suburbs are where "we" are. The cities are scary, the suburbs are safe. Really have to hand it to the last several decades of marketing on the grounds of managing to shape incredibly profitable societal attitude shifts.

They were actively attempting to avoid that.

This wasn't contractual. This was direct anti-competitive conspiracy between top executives.
Opera has leaned into this for decades. They have a long history of innovating in the browser space. I suppose that doesn’t happen without some bloat along the way. Not every idea is going to be a winner.

20 years ago, Opera had an email client built into the browser, for example.

I used Opera for quite a while back then, but eventually it became too much bloat, and I ended up switching to Phoenix (now Firefox) when it came out. I remember having a really hard time losing the mouse actions from Opera after the switch.
Running CUDA applications on AMD was always going to be slower. They have slightly different architectures, and CUDA is completely closed source. They would be committing to always being a step behind.

You don't see the difference between "knowing who pays for the content can help you understand the content's biases" and "large corporations exert editorial control over content that has no overt relationship to them"?
That's still a huge difference though. You get in kernel drivers that properly support wayland and don't require recompiling modules all the time. Plus all the hacks one has to go through to run wlroots based compositors with nvidia.
Are you saying you are OK with Apple themselves being privy to this information? Honestly, I'm not sure I find their access to it any less terrifying.
Hey, thank you for the feedback.
For the UI part I think I have exagered by always thinking this a MVP so I shoudln't waste too many time on UI details or some stuff ( maybe working with UI library will be the solution ).
The restriction for the education is just because of the fact that the main idea of the app is to help people finding educationnal content on YouTube and avoid buying online course when you can find it on YouTube so the target is the person who want to learn something online.

I'm surprised nobody has made SD cards with mask-programmed ROM or even traditional write-once PROM.
There was a podcast that went along with the Apple TV show. He wanted to interview her on the podcast, not on the TV show. But the AI and China segments they blocked were for the TV show.
Their PR narrative is mostly about being an ethical, user-first company. They’ve received a tonne of investment which is spent on expensive to maintain features like AI support in search.

Someone will have to pay the bill and the general attitude when it comes to monetising browsers are adtech partnerships, not subscriptions.
> I don't think there is any scientific basis for drinking water when you're not thirsty.

You sound like my late grandpa.
What neighborhood, what decade? That sounds to me either very expensive, very far uptown, or very crime-ridden, but I don't know what your situation was.
It is quite funny how different everyone is on this. My wife and I lived in the Bay Area for a while and my wife hated it with a passion, particularly whenever we went into San Francisco. Whereas I would have permanently moved to SF no problem. 800 sq ft works just fine for me. I also wouldn’t mind moving to Europe, as I lived there a while as a kid and really enjoyed it.

But we’re back in the suburbs now with our kids and I detest it so much. The driving, the lack of good food, the uninteresting suburban landscape, and the constant home maintenance that living in an apartment never required. My wife loves this though. We’ll never understand each other haha
They probably do, but since he left Apple to go back to Comedy Central, it would appear the limits they have are not as bad.

Judging by the sole existence of South Park on CC, it seems they put a fairly high bar on what they allowed.

Or at least an interesting process. I didn't appreciate this until I started making tracks myself. Music that's simple to notate, once interpreted by a human, gains more information than could possibly fit in the score.

I don't have reason to think AI can't accomplish the same thing eventually, but I haven't seen it happen yet.
This is a pretty good example actually of what makes entering these conversations so difficult.

It can logically be both and I would personally say it is both but your reply demands polarization. It is either one or the other because people like Harvey Weinstein exist. Don't get me wrong, it took way too long for Harvey to see justice and arguably he never did.

But here now I don't want to talk about Harvey Weinstein, I want to talk about male archetypes in fairy tales, yet here we are. Of course that isn't entirely true, since actually I was mentioning the meta-difficulty faced by people like Robert Bly and the controversy of the father's rights movement. So yeah, your comment is fair but a good example of the drive towards polarization faced by anyone trying to discuss being male and using that as a lens. Life has nuance and most of us want to express nuanced views but don't want to post manifestos.

Maybe it's a takeaway, but not the one from the article I believe.

The author writes that, because he grew up there, because the "bland" (olive garden, strip mall, ...) suburbs are familiar to him, therefore, he belongs there. I think it's more a lesson about people get used to pretty much anything, even non-descript places like the typical american suburb. It's about how childhood shapes your comfort zone, and you'll carry it with you all your life.

(you could write the same article about any place, just change the markers; growing up in kowloon, growing up in a cabin in the woods ...). It's an article about human nature, nostalgia, _not_ about the suburbs or their merits.
Everywhere is racist, but suburbs were built on racism and they're maintained by it.
Good marketing strategy is to associate your product with identity assumed by significant number of customers. Studies of consumer behavior show mostly this. That gender based marketing works successfully. However regardless of gender customers want some food, clothing, shelter, mobility, entertainment.

If you tell me that your friend wears a pendant with Libra zodiac sign I'd estimate probability of her being a Libra higher than 50% too. It doesn't mean identifying as a Libra is something natural, innate or objectively meaningful or indicative of the qualities you value.
They just added an example to the documentation[0] of how to implement the sd_notify protocol without linking to libsystemd, so a little bit of discarding systemd (or at least parts of it) does seem to be part of the solution.

Sorry but this absolute bullshit.

AMD _has_ open drivers which include not only the kernel parts but also DRM, video acceleration, and mesa/llvm backends. NVIDIA doesn't release any of this.

Are you going to claim that because both have proprietary firmware, it doesn't matter if you are forced to run proprietary software to use it?

Using Mesa is already an order of improvement of openness, and frankly, calling it "a shim which wraps firmware" is a ridiculous thing to say.

...is an inherently unserious and self-contradictory idea. It's the Ununoctium of political ideologies: it is so unstable that if ever realized it will decay in a microsecond to something entirely different. Anyone who treats it as something that could be stable and realizable should be mocked or ignored.

So, that said, I think the usage should in the GP should just be auto-corrected to "extreme capitalism" and left there.

I wouldn't say "funding" is necessarily the problem.

Most maintainers do it because they like doing it. Their main limiting factor is time. I can drop a million dollars an hour into a maintainer's lap; that doesn't mean they can dedicate every waking moment to a project. They still have human needs that money can't buy like sleep, family obligations, and health concerns. And that's making the assumption that the maintainer uses that million/hr to quit their job.

No, the problem is a lack of trustworthy candidates for maintainership and a lack of time. There are components of a GNU userland that are now too complex for a single human to both maintain and enhance at the same time. We now need to target multiple distros (really, more than are necessary, strictly speaking) and ISAs. Most are written in systems programming languages like C that are more complex than the average software engineer in 2024 works with.

We need consolidation, simplification, maintainer redundancy, and a trust/governance framework for packages.
