> sometimes acquires companies and does nothing

Honestly, Automattic is probably one of the best exit routes for them. They have a history of being a good steward of their acquisitions. Compared to other companies that either shut them down or enshittify their products as a manner of course, it's valuable when a company can simply maintain their acquisitions alive and keep them running, at least giving them a chance to grow.
This is fantastic! I’d like to share it with quotion.co users, I believe they will love it
Imagine going to a part of the world ravaged by starvation and explaining to them that we're throwing millions at growing egg whites in a lab because the chickens are sad. The amount of privilege needed for this is incomprehensible.
> And there's no ethical problems when it's in a backyard or the chickens are free ranging.

I believe there are. The people buying the chickens for their lovely free range or backyard thing are specifically only buying female ones. The males get killed, usually in somewhat gruesome ways shortly after hatching.

That might not be an ethical problem for you but it is for me.
April-8 Live Game
Excited to share my latest project - 'April 8'! Celebrating my birthday with code, I challenged myself to create a fun JavaScript game where players navigate through obstacles marked with the iconic number '8'. Check out the thrilling gameplay and compete on the live leaderboard here: https://april8s.web.app #JavaScript #GameDev #BirthdayChallenge #April8Game
If we’re using the script in the post as an example, that’s hardly a “mess” of shell scripts. I’d rather maintain that than almost any other build system I’ve ever seen.
I'm never eating the JUST EGG
It’s funny because in my many years of development I don’t think I’ve ever encounter a “mess of shell scripts” that was difficult to maintain. They were clear, did their job and if they needed to be replaced it was usually simple and straightforward.

Can’t say the same for whenever the new abstraction of the day comes along. In my experience what the OP is saying is exactly my experience. The abstractions get picked not because they are best but because they reduce liability.
There are many ways to trigger it that don't involve your fingers, and many people don't have unlimited incomes. So no, not fine, in many cases

For me the journey kinda started by checking which was the most common way of installing PHP on the OS I'm using. If you're on MacOS then nothing beats homebrew.
The main thing is to try and use the latest stable version and then go from there. This should make life easier when it's time to update or when you start to deal with having to install/enable certain extensions.
I've tried setting up Docker but finally just set everything up in Debian so I can use VSCodium without issues.
In production (for a newbie) I would just go with something like a small 5-10$ VPS running Ubuntu with Plesk control panel which will help you setup and keep things updated (you'll have the option/warning of changing PHP version for each website in the control panel)
This mashup of default English QWERTY layout with direct access to umlauts and "sharp S" characters has been my keyboard layout for 15 years or so. I've just updated it to provide access to "capital sharp S", which was standardised back in 2008 and is now universally supported.
Thanks. Did see that on the wiki page. I'm shocked it is not the baseline spec!
No, if you re-read their post, they were pointing out that and trying to say you can't block an external mic.

At least, that's how my mind parses it. I don't know their actual intention for certain.
Didn't Microsoft create Azure Key Vault for storing and managing secrets?

Why in the world would they not use it?

> The researchers notified Microsoft of the security lapse on February 6, and Microsoft secured the spilling files on March 5.

What???

This doesn't leave me confident of the security of any data in Microsoft's possession.
> Security cameras should be wired PoE with local NVR + decoy NVR.

Given that wires can also be cut, is that worth it given the extra cost to install?

A better solution might be for alarm to be triggered if traffic from cameras is lost (although that would create a lot of false triggers)

But you can't 'downvote' someone in real life. In real life, you can say what you want, and people have to hear. However, on reddit (and many sites copying its pernicious site design), if your comment goes against the hivemind and gets hit with -5 immediately, your comment gets collapsed (and basically unseen).

Imagine being out in public at a party and you say something slightly 'spicy' and someone walks up to you and puts duct tape across your mouth. You can move to another party (or comment thread in this example), but you already were basically told "your input is useless, now leave".

I should mention that I don't see it that way, but a lot of people don't know how to separate real life from the internet - Especially Gen Z. The internet is NOT real life.

Bonus: Moderators locking threads with a condescending comment like "Locking this comment thread since some of you refuse to behave".

Reddit is the new Twitter, only the censorship isn't thinly veiled. It's not veiled at all.
Yes and no. The problem with factory farming - and pardon me but the proper economics term escapes me atm - is not all the costs are directly shouldered by the farm. For example, waste run off... the cost of dealing with that flows downstream, literally.

Similar are fossil fuels. They're inexpensive, until you realize the aggregate burning of them increases pollution, as well as greenhouse gases. But cost of impact and resolution isn't in the cost of the product.

The point is, competing alternatives that don't have such "cost-free side effects" can't compete until the legacy products' price reflect the true and entire cost of manufacturing.

I could find OCP accelerator spec but it looks like an open source reimplementation, not actual SXM2. That said, the photos of SXM2-PCIe adapters I could find look almost entirely passive, so I don't think all hopes are lost either.
> maybe Rig won't require an OS 'stat' call and can just check the watcher's list in-memory for each file, but it will still burn a significant number of cycles following dependency chains even though they are up-to-date.

Okay, but I don't really consider that a problem.

Computers are fast enough that burning those cycles, even for 1 million C files will take less than a second, probably less time than a user would notice. One hundred ms would be my target, and that means I would have about 100 cycles per file, plenty of time if my data structures are good enough since all I am doing is setting a status enum.

People would notice if Rig stat'ed all of the files, so I still want a watcher. But people forget how fast computers are, and I'm not about to complexify Rig to be faster when the user is not likely to notice.

> And for command tracing, the most significant issue is that it records both files read and files output. Even with dynamic dependencies it is difficult to record both of these dependency types properly.

Yeah, and? This is easily done with the right design. Rig has multiple outputs built in. You can create targets as you're executing other targets. You will be able to add a dependency both ways, by adding a dependency to the currently executing target, or adding the currently executing target (or another target) as a dependency of another target.

It is "difficult to record both of these dependencies properly" because build systems are built with limits. Even Shake.

There exists quite a few of vegan egg replacement products already.
I've found egg replacement based on lupinus seed flour to be perfectly adequate for baking sponge cake and frying crepes.

The problem is that a replacement product that doesn't contain the identical substance can replace the original only in some recipes. With "vegan products" in general, you'd have to pay more attention when cooking because it will often not cook exactly the same way as the product it imitates.
Are there? I think that all animal suffering is bad. And I think that in general more living creates is a moral good. But I'd argue the right to remain alive once alive only really kicks for animals that can make plans about the future. So I'd feel qualms about euthanizing a raven or parrot, but not a chicken.
Yeah, you can call something art and get away with it. Because suddenly it is 'an expression', and it does not matter what the use is. If you don't like it, it is a matter of 'taste' and if you don't agree with it 'you don't understand it' or 'you are looking at it from the wrong angle'.

The fact of matter is nobody would've known about this if it weren't in the media. That alone tells us these poets don't have reach/impact. I'm all for poetry and art (there's plethora of both which I've enjoyed). I'm also all for this project from a personal PoV, as an experiment, it is a free society where this is (apparently?) allowed.

But... do not pretend like it has reach/impact, cause it clearly hasn't. And do not tell me that I have to appreciate it when I clearly disagree with the principle of having a funeral in the first place.

All of this can be summed up in one acronym: LARPing. Perhaps without the LA, so just roleplaying would suffice.

There are loads of methods to make an impact on society on living beings, and there's only so much time.

The issue imo is maintenance.

The 3rd party chargers (eg. at the Jio gas stations or at that dhaba on the NH) tend to have varying levels of maintenance, as these are franchisees and installed them as way to get some free money from corporate (eg. the one in my family's ancestral village in HP - they installed it to get some free cash from Reliance, but they aren't providing any maintenance).

That said, the EV chargers at the dealerships are well maintained.

This is the same issue in the US with Tesla's Supercharger network being superior to Electrify America because the former is directly owned and managed by Tesla, whereas the latter is a franchisee model. Whenever a Tesla Supercharger goes down, Tesla will send a mechanic to fix it. Whenever an Electrify America charger goes down, it takes weeks to get repaired.

A dealership driven charging network would probably solve the issues in India, as just about every small town has 4-5 different dealerships located on major highways and roads, and it would have better QC from corporate (as well as the fact that dealerships need to maintain their own charging infra in order to sell the car).
I agree.

Where I live, in Europe, tofu and protein extracts are many times more expensive than meat, e.g. 5 times more expensive than chicken breast per their protein content (chicken breast is only twice more expensive than lentils, both having the same protein content).

Therefore neither tofu nor protein extracts are a rational choice for a vegan diet.

I have made countless experiments in the attempt of composing a vegan diet that would not make me gain weight very rapidly and which would also be no more expensive than a meat-based diet.

At the prices from here, I have found only a single solution. I make at home a special kind of bread that is highly enriched in protein, with up to 50% protein. This is made by washing away most of the starch from the dough, enriching the dough in gluten. While it is possible to extract almost pure gluten from wheat flour, the so-called "seitan", this requires more time and more water than I am willing to spend every day. For the protein-enriched bread that I make, about 5 minutes of dough washing are enough.

Fungal ovalbumin would be a good alternative for this process, but I doubt that we would see it at a decent price any time soon.
Well sure. It's also why I use an external audio interface on my desktop, since the 3.5mm jack in my desktop's motherboard is noisy and glitchy. For convenience on the go I prefer USB-C headphones (for casual listening I don't care as much) but you can just as easily swap that out for a USB-C DAC, into which you plug your analog headphones of choice.

The point is, the handset's output over USB-C is digital! You're not stuck with whatever analog components it includes (or doesn't), those can be swapped out pretty easily.
I don’t think ‘axe to grind’ was what I took away from the comment. And if it’s a ‘mess of shell scripts’, I can’t imagine any of the mentioned solutions to this being better.

I think we lose focus of the fact that we invented a whole new career track- devops. And it basically is about getting code from developers’ machine or environments to production. And we’re still terrible at it.

Perhaps that should be a signal that we’re doing it wrong…
If everyone stopped drinking alcohol, society would also collapse.

By monetary valuation, the global alcohol market is over 30x the size of the global meat market. Does this mean we should discourage people from replacing getting drunk with healthier alternatives?
It sounds like the credentials were embedded in code, so the fix probably involved all the steps of any production code change and deployment.

I'm not defending it, because it is abysmal, just explaining probably why it took so long.
People are ignorant. Companies are greedy. That's why we need regulation.

Children don't need social media, just as they don't need tobacco or alcohol. As long as all your friends are off social media, you'll be fine. It's when there's a choice that you get the FOMO situation that makes it more or less impossible for parents to dissuade their children from using social media.
It's pretty rare (excluding mobile homes and pre-fab homes, of course). I grew up in the US and have lived in Australia for over a decade now, and I have seen exactly one house moved in each country.

However, I have seen a large number of historical log cabins fully dismantled and rebuilt elsewhere in the US — generally to rescue them from destruction or to transport them to open-air museums. (My grandparents were involved in that trade and personally dismantled and rebuilt 27 log cabins.)

There are plenty of exploits where the payload is just "data" read by some vulnerable program (PDF readers, image viewers, browsers, compression tools, messaging apps, etc)
I do think this is one pathway, and it has kind of been happening - we're seeing people increasingly stop participating 'open' social medias and retreating into more sequestered communities with fewer, but enduring participants that you get to know, and who are united around care for some topic but also talk about other stuff. Discord servers are probably the most prominent of these just now. They have more in common with oldschool forums in the sense that you get to know the regulars, but are notoriously impenetrable if you're new and trying to search for information on some topic that's been covered in the past. But it's a start!

Now that Discord is apparently opening up to ads, it remains to be seen whether that cultural shift will be able to hold or if people are going to be driven into even deeper hidey holes, like the freed humans in The Matrix who have to hide out deep in the earth from all the robots ;)
I'm old enough to have experienced the invention of cellphones and then smartphones and then "social media"

I am also on the roads every single day on foot or bike all those years.

People have absolutely lost all self-control and are absolutely addicted to connectivity and media, not a little bit, overwhelmingly toxic levels.

Everyone is constantly holding and looking down at their phone, no matter at a bus stop or driving. Even walking and I've seen people biking while constantly looking down at their phones.

We need to start treating it like alcohol or drug addiction, it's the exact same thing.
Avi Wigderson wins Turing award for harnessing randomness
1. The document you link states that seL4 requires a specific CPU design that is work-in-progress by Integrated Systems Lab (a RISC-V CPU of course) to provide the claimed guarantees. This makes no sense in the context of testing performance of mitigations, which are fixes to silicon or microcode bugs fixed in later CPUs or microcode updates. If seL4 can require a hypothetical CPU to be secure, I can also just respond with a hypothetical CPU and microcode where all known bugs are fixed so no mitigations are needed.

In either case, you cannot have made benchmark on a hypothetical CPU, so the question becomes: does seL4 have appropriate mitigations for current buggy CPUs or does its security model just fall apart on those?

2. The document you link make it appear as if their focus is purely in the form of explicitly classified security partitions, and does not provide protections within the partition. This requires trust between all processes in a security partition, and I suspect in turn means that their performance between security domains is significantly worse.

This makes me suspicious of performance tests that artificially boost results in ways that are not representative of real-world performance, by comparing an seL4 system with a few security domains that only apply mitigations occasionally, with a Linux systems that assign a "security domain" to every process and apply mitigations constantly. Design benefits aside, and ignoring the actual mitigation effectiveness, these would be very different security and trust profiles.

This is why all benchmarks and performance claims need to include detailed test procedures to have any value whatsoever.
Since stripping the nitpicky word out detracts from the comment a negligible amount, since always. It's obnoxious word and tone policing that doesn't say anything.
Im not a business person. What does this mean? Aren't accurate, honest audits valuable to a business? Knowing that amount of money in to a department is the same as amount out would be comforting to me. Those underlings are scraping a fraction of the cash flow for themselves.

This is what I do. I calculate a score over a sample of questions and replies. I'm not doing unit tests.

Comparing the scores of two prompts will not give you a definitive answer which one is superior. But the prediction which one is superior would be better without the noise added by the randomness in the execution of the LLM.
I haven't tried it yet, but if the model itself isn't impressive, that 128k context window is. That's the largest I think I've seen for any open weights model.
Interventions can work, they're just no silver bullet. I think it's something you do in good faith, but after that for the sake of your sanity you have to let go as you said.
Interesting. Might be worth a try on something non-AMD if possible, just to rule out some weird microcode bug hanging around in the Zen family?
I remember those glory days of Nostalrius before Classic was released so fondly. It was the first time I'd gotten that community feeling in a game again since the early 2000s. The state of multiplayer gaming in general is so toxic and horrid today that I don't bother. But they really had something right in that Vanilla WoW/Everquest/FFXI era. No dungeon finders, no flying mounts, no instanced PVP. Just people figuring things out together and being forced to cooperate.
WebAssembly adoption: Is slow and steady winning the race?
Because most state controlled/sponsored media are filled with incompetency, hugely impopular and prone to follow the official narrative.

The idea of fragmenting the Internet into country level information silos controlled by each state is authoritarian and stupid.

It is a good thing to be able to talk to anyone regardless of border, to be able to express yourself freely, to have open access information.

There are recipes for egg-equivalent online, typically involving Kala namak aka black salt, if you want to try doing it yourself.
Looking at the subreddit right now, there's literally 0 threads which are positive toward the republicans, i scrolled quite awhile trying to find 1 example. Obviously it's a giant echo chamber with only 1 viewpoint.

The key point of this discussion is that Reddit effectively banned the republicans off their site in June of 2020. And looking at this article, they focused on october 2020 and later?

>Messages from different political standpoints that describe the value of a functional shared conversation

This is the big discussion which happened in 2020. Is it even important to have a functional shared conversation? Reddit argued no and they argued that they have every right to ban the republicans off the site.

I guess there was talk about section 230 and such but reddit kept their platform protections despite being in clear violation.
