Your comment is a bit tongue in cheek: it’s a process with checks and balances everywhere in the developed world, and scams aren’t common at all.

You’re insinuating that due to the bureaucracy Germany is somehow better at this; it is not, it’s just more inefficient.
Germany is a cult, not country.

The whole system is designed for slavery. Never question anything here, just obey the rules, give up
your individuality and live without a soul.

The new European way of freedom is not building your own life; you must let government take care of you, and in return you do what they ask. The best part is they think they are free and afraid of their privacy.

If freedom is not thinking for yourself and building your life, then what it is? The answer is; partying, drugs, alcohol, orgies. And complaining about other countries issues. Textbook cult patterns.

German news are full
of other countries’ problems, they will discuss racism in US for weeks and months meanwhile Nazis are burning Turkish families once a year alive, murdering ordinary people. You’ll see how they write the softest article about burning immigrants alive in 2024 their own country but they will happily go out to the streets and protest for US or Ukraine.

How are you going to convince any immigrants to live here and work with you? None of the immigrants who live here say good things about Germany or Germans.

Investment scene is also pretty much depends on your race. Unless you’re already profitable or white european, they won’t fund your startup. They rather fund some grow-carrot-in-balcony startups instead of investing in your company.

I’m hoping to get out of this shit show soon and almost everybody around me consider the same.
For some reason, _fear_ seems to be an important emotion in Germany that steers the collective.

Fear of the boss to be caught with a error on his (hence he adds more bureaucracy), fear of the general public to look racist (hence low policing in high crime area with many foreigners), fear of the case worker to get sued (hence applying the rules literally, to the detriment of the applicant),.etc
You might be interested in our strategies for managing different types of failures:

- In case of an EC2 instance failure, we take advantage of EBS's ability to be attached to multiple instances(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ebs/latest/userguide/ebs-volumes...). This allows us to quickly mount the EBS volume from the failed EC2 instance onto another Broker, facilitating a seamless failover process.
- For failures that affect an entire availability zone, we utilize Regional EBS which is available in Azure and GCP: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/regional-persist...
Could you tell us the lawyer please?

Sure. But why accept these people in the first place? I think if there was a consensus, then they would not be accepted. The US is not shy to refuse them entry or to concentrate camp them somewhere. The reality is that there is two factions; one is for and one is against. So you are in for a wild ride.

This is a totally different issue; Wayland gives up the ability to provide user-aid that prevents an obvious human error. This is not really a security issue, it is a usability issue that can just happen to allow a user to make a security slip-up.

In exchange, Wayland gains… well, nothing really, the idea is that it’ll protect users from malicious programs peeking at other windows on their computer. But in that case situation is already FUBAR, there’s no way to protect a computer that is already running attacks locally on itself.
what reduces my trust is the lack of planning between fiscal and monetary policies. why didn't the government raise salaries of teachers, nurses, etc. when central banks started doing quantitative easing?

Fluctuating interest rates whipe out home owners in the most sought after places - with an upwards of 20x leverage when buying a house and direct exposure to interest rates, some people are really exposed.

move fast and forcefully regarding central bank interest rates seem catastrophical to me.
That when you say "Lago looks like just one more platform I'd have to keep track of for no reason", it clearly means it's not for you, but there might be other users who get benefit from it.

Surely that's obvious?
This sounds like all of you are living in Berlin, which is known as "failed state" to the rest of Germany. ;-)

It varies form city to city, I live in one that I'd say is an exception on the positive side: Most clerks in the various offices are actually helpful and even giving you hints. I had to renew my passport in January and got an appointment the next day. I got the appointment online(!) in Germany(!!). Passport could be collected 4 weeks later. Meanwhile an ex-colleague who lives in Berlin had to wrestle with his nearest office to even get an appointment for a passport renewal, then gave up and made an appointment with the office in the neighboring district, where it was still a 4 weeks wait. He told me there are districts where it takes up to 6 months.

I guess if you want pain and suffering, move to Berlin. :o)
Good problem to have!
> Windows 16 bit did, but it required a MMU anyway, at least since Windows 3

Windows 3.0 supported three modes of operation: real mode (8086 minimum), standard mode (286 minimum), 386 Enhanced mode (386 minimum). Real mode was pretty limited, and a lot of apps could not fit in its rather limited memory, but it was not completely useless. I believe real mode Windows apps could use EMS, although I’m not sure if many actually did

In Windows 3.1, real mode was removed, and only standard and 386 Enhanced were supported. So, 3.1 was the first version to “require an MMU”, if by that you mean a 286 or higher
What you describe is a very good example, why I seldom rely on guest languages for production code.

Communities can't control themselves, always try to create an ecosystem on top of the ecosystem, some of them even are quite vocal against the platform that made their beloved language possible in first places.

Thus as the platform moves under their feet, everyone fails to keep up, to make anything usable one has to master now two stacks instead of one, and spend even more time tracking down issues.

Clojure's approach to embrace the host is a much better way to handle this.

The last two bigger American tech companies I have worked for in the last decade basically had no dedicated QA testers. They expected developers, designers, and product managers to test features before releasing them. What a joke. This is a total cost cutting measure and resulted in really poor software quality.
Can you recommend any company in that area that offers these services to buy a "ready to run" shell company?

Seems it should be easy enough to have a basic model doing the same, by using Whisper and any sensible LLM

Talk -> streaming STT/Whisper -> some basic processing to put the text in a "markdown-like" format which allows to do structural edits (eg "change the order of the bullet points") -> send to a LLM which process the transcript and apply changes (add text, modify structure, etc)
I need to spend more time figuring out how the layout detection is working under the hood, but if it's not a NC model then this could be really good.
> I had no idea he was interested in evolution and ecology.

That’s what he’s most famous for. As the article alludes to, he more or less created ecology as a science. His Natural history is huge as well, this was a milestone in the establishment of zoology as a discipline. It is difficult to overstate how important he was for biology as a whole.

The evolution stuff is more or less a consequence of this: he noticed similarities and differences between species living in different places and in what we would now call ecological niches. That said, even though he got some intuition for the concept of evolution, he did not really find a good driving force to explain it (he explained the changes by changes in environment), which is an essential contribution of Darwin.

[edit] also, nobody calls him Georges-Louis Leclerc, he is usually referred to as “Buffon”.

I am not sure what you mean, the history of art is a history of rich/powerful people giving poor/lower ranking people money for doing said art. Artists have never been truly free in that sense — thst was my point.

Sure the art scene in parts has become entrepreneurial, but quite frankly most commercial art is either tasteless shit for tasteless customers, the works of old artists who are two decades away from dying or the works of a popular one-trick-pony on borrowed time. Who has a more hard time here are the newcomers or people who are doing it to hold up a mirror to society. But your society won't get the artists that are two decades from dying if they didn't make it somehow up to that point.

Now I gladly live in a european nation where society means that we look out for each other and I'd have no problem if more of my tax money goes towards culture. Now I know the sentiment towards commons and investing in your own infrastructure and society is way different in the US, but I don't even see it that way. I profit from the money I put there by being allowed to live in a society where people can dare to try things that are the opposite of commercial no-brainers.
Horrible piece of software, it uses a stateful(!) configuration. The daemon updates it's state at runtime and there is absolutely no guarantee it will properly restore that state when it restarts. It's extremely unreliable/flaky, you really don't want that from such a critical service.

Russia (with the exception of its ethnic minorities) is one of the most atomized societies in Europe, actually. The Russian dream is a house in the exurbs with a three-meter-tall impenetrable fence around the lot where you can do anything you want inside and no one will bother you.

Something that sets it apart is how files can be added -- directly onto the filesystem. Tons of common tools can be used to maintain media collections, e.g. FileZilla, WinSCP, Desktop file manager drag-and-drop, certain mobile file managers, remote drive mount, Git repository, rsync, Unison, Warpinator, Magic Wormhole, Syncthing, etc etc. All authentication is handled by whichever solution is chosen to transfer files.

I'm hoping that the setup from cloning to being able to tinker with it can take just a few minutes. With `ffmpeg` installed and the corresponding `system/config/state.php` option set, the platform should automatically generate audio waveforms and grab screenshots from videos used as thumbnails.

It is designed to be a robust yet succinct foundation, not too many opinions or dependencies, leaving a lot of creative space for DevOps and new frontend modules. There is a modular design system using a request queue in `system/config/state.php` for flexible extending.
The "50,000 police ordered to shoot the earthquake" story is just the tip of the iceberg. The Grok bot also falsely reported that "Iran strikes Tel Aviv with heavy missiles" based on a network of blue-check accounts posting misinformation.

It makes no sense to summarize the news from the content of tweets that are about the news, no matter how it is done. You cannot produce a correct output from the wrong input: garbage in, garbage out.

AI summarizing the correct information could work with minimal human supervision.

I love the concept of Framework, the concept of upgradeable laptops and computers is genius! Say you have a budget that only allows for an i5, but instead of buying a new laptop when it comes time to upgrade, you could just buy the i7 from Frameworks.

At least, that's how it comes off as from Linus Tech Tips. I haven't been around for the new updates from Frameworks, though I remember they release a new laptop and got rid of the older ones, correct?

> I am a bit flummoxed how you can stay in the country after a permit expires.

I think most countries are like this. Essentially, you are in a "on-hold" status until immigration decides your fate. It's supposed to be temporary but it can take years depending on the country and the circumstance.
It opens the App Store to, say, a GB emulator that bundles several GB Studio games (with permission, of course). That's not nothing.
Can't agree more! S3 will be the modern data storage primitive. Also, the move towards shared storage and separating compute from storage is a key trend in cloud-native architecture, enhancing scalability and cost-efficiency.
Young and savvy people will uninstall Instagram and TikTok if the apps get infested. Trend setting teenage girls are interested in watching humans talking, not in watching Beeple videos.
I've used Copilot for months and Cody just today. I'm in the habit of using autocomplete to generate multiline chunks of code. So far, Copilot seems a bit better at autocomplete.

In particular, Copilot seems to do better at generating missing TypeScript import statements. These are relative imports of files in the same small repo. Neither of them seems to really understand my codebase in the way that Cody promises - they make up imports of nonexistent files. Copilot sometimes guesses the right file, I think based on my understanding my naming conventions better.

Every employee answering that would have been lying and faking their numbers, most of them to try not to get into trouble or get a black mark on their name.

I like that the author gives a detailed step-by-step process with caveats on the way along. However, I believe it is slowly improving. Namely, there is an online service (https://online-verfahren.notar.de/ov/home) that may somewhat ease the process (steps 2–4 & 8).
If you asked me to summarize the news stories using nothing but top tweets that are about the news stories, I would also come up with crap about cops being deployed against earthquakes. What else could I do, given the requirements of the task? I could refuse to do it, insisting that you find someone else to do this stupid thing. I believe AI can be configured to similarly refuse.

This doesn't tell you how or even whether you could end up with an elephant, a bat or a whale from a shrew-like ancestor. The thousands of years of human experience with animal husbandry and artificial selection did not produce a flying dog or man-eating battlecow.
I think this is the wrong approach.

If they have issues with people abusing the revenue model by publishing white noise and generating fake plays - go after that.

However the 1K streams per track thing is going to negatively impact small artists who might have relatively large collections, but few over 1K annual streams.

If it's a processing cost issue then make it so that payouts need to meet some reasonable minimum threshold.

> between $1 and $2 will be added to monthly bills for customers in several territories, including the UK, Australia, and Pakistan, Bloomburg reports. This is said to cover the cost of audiobooks, added to the platform late-2023. More recently, video learning content was introduced to further diversify the offering.

I don't want, and never wanted, Audiobooks or Podcasts or News or other crap on the music app.

They mention that there will be another tier added which doesn't have these -- great, so long as it keeps the audio quality for music at the same level, and doesn't have ads.
I was the opposite. I used it as a calculator, without adding any ebooks on top, but my professors were uneasy about it. Then I got a calculator to curb their anxiety.
Assuming you are talking about IPSEC, that uses a model that is very hard to deploy.

The problem is that applications typically use TCP connections, but IPSEC works at the IP level. Early on, the (BSD socket) kernel API was basically fixed at the IP level instead of associating it with a TCP socket.

So the whole thing became too complex (also for other reasons). So SSL and SSH were created to have simple things that worked.

SSL took many iterations to get any kind of security, so IPSEC had plenty of time to get it right and take over. But as far as I know, there just never happened. It also doesn't help that TLS is trivial to combine with NAT, and for IPSEC that is quite tricky.

I think only the latest Treo had 128MB - the last PDA (Lifedrive) had 64MB, the TX 32MB.

(One should remember though that there wasn't mass storage+RAM as we typically think of it - the memory of the Palm devices was storage and active memory in one. Battery-backup'ed until the very latest models. There wasn't a filesystem as such. So all this memory should be thought of as memory for applications, nor like storage in an Android device.)
I think you probably could build this if you had it corroborate stories with legitimate news outlets, eg chatgpt can search and summarise websites and could probably tell you if it also reports X or not. But if you want to just take Twitter posts from everyone as the only source and produce something useful then I doubt it’s possible with any current model.
The degradation comes from waves of austerity politics by right wing governments. These services are expensive and require staff to keep things going. Austerity ideology dictates that there simply must be inefficiency in public services, and cuts are the cure to this disease since this will cause the public sector to "make do and mend" and end up running more efficiently, rather than having a knock on effect and decrease the quality of the services. This is the policy direction responsible for the fall in the quality of public services in the UK, and for some reason Finland decided this was an excellent idea and is following suit. The SDP patched things up a little bit, but not as fast as things can be torn down.
That is an understandable but incorrect conclusion. That should be the case, especially with freedom of movement within the EU, but the German tax authorities are essentially violating those agreements (which will inevitably get challenged in the law courts, but that will take some years). As I said elsewhere, please consult an experienced tax advisor for your particular circumstances as you cannot just figure this out for yourself, unfortunately.
Thanks for your reply. Care to be more specific? I guess I am more curious about how you were personally affected than generic sweeping statements.

I live in the EU and I used to live in USA for a while so I am always looking for similar experiences and comparisons.

Thanks again!
There's a paper by Papadimitriou (from Logicomix fame) and some collaborators that the transformer model is incapable of solving certain simple problems, and if done by Cost, it needs exponentially many steps.

The paper is currently only available at Arxiv (ie not yet peer-reviewed), but given that it is Papadimitriou, I would be inclined to believe the results.

"Additionally, Spotify now requires a minimum number of unique listeners for royalties to apply. This attempt to stop "further manipulation by bad actors""

What a load of manure. The only reason manipulation of royalties even works is that they pool the streams such that the consumer wont pay the artist he listens too.

Just tie the royalties to what each user listens to and what they pay. Solved. No abuse possible.

But no. Have to have an opaque algorithm and do hacks upon hacks to obscure its funamental flaws.
