That would be an incredible overreach for the EU, beyond anything it's ever attempted before. It would also be directly interceding in engineering standards, without there even being an overall, enforceable standards body (RFCs aren't mandated standards).

Really the dollar speaks here. If ipv6 is a real requirement, than companies not supporting it will be hurt fiscally.

Taking a step back, one might consider how incredibly... unwanted and unwieldy ipv6 is. It's just a pain to deal with. Pundits will say "Oh, it's easy!". Great. Now explain why something touted as utterly simplistic and with supposedly zero issues rolling out, and is cited as having immense upside, has its adoption fought by companies which have top tier talent working for them.

Sure. It's all that top tier talent that's wrong. They're confused. It's not ipv6.
This reminds me of the "eco" car that was my Volvo V70. You could fill it up with E85, which placed it in a lower tax bracket in Sweden.

However, no one actually used E85, because Volvo engines had recently had issues with some engine gaskets being ruined by ethanol...
This surely isn't the first time they've run the base64 command. If they have used it before, I wouldn't expect them to read the manual again unless they are trying to get different behavior out of the tool. Instead they had to read it again to get the same behavior out of the tool
18 years is a pretty exceptional tenure for any employee of any company.

Maxing out your ESPP and not selling a single share of any of the company stock you're given for 18 years is also pretty exceptional (and probably even bad financial planning).

I'm sure most Nvidia employees who were hired before the recent stock run up have made good money, but I doubt most of them are multimillionaires.

Most people I know sell most of their company stock when they get it, as they should. It's much more likely for you to make money with a diversified portfolio then holding a single stock.
Using LLMs as a glorified documentation search is the best use case I've found. Sometimes I've forgotten something, or never knew it in the first place, so being able to use human language to describe a function or library I'm looking for is very useful. Once I've done that I move to the real documentation as fast as possible.

Batteries are important, yes, but the average American drives less than 30 miles per day. You can charge that at home without a special charger. At the very least, that’s a second car alternative with much lower maintenance and no need to drive to a gas station.
A factor could be the limited range on a single charge, which might not meet the daily travel needs unless there's convenient access to a charging station at home or work.

Additionally, the charging process in Europe involves carrying your own cables, which adds an extra layer of inconvenience—unlike in some places like China where charging stations provide the cables. - To open the trunk twice daily to get and put the heavy cables could deter regular charging, particularly for those using their PHEV for commuting.

I think the idea is that for minor updates or patches, any potential breakages should be caught by the build pipeline or rolling deployments with automated rollback strategies (if you’re at a scale where this is feasible). Major updates will probably fail in the pipeline and require manual intervention either way.

I don’t think it makes sense for every project, but if recovery options are cheap then I don’t see anything that speaks against it.
Title: *Breaking Free: Why I Ditched My Web Host and You Should Too!*

Hi there, I'm Anders Larsson, and today's video is an eye-opening journey into the world of web hosting and why making an informed switch could change everything for digital content creators like you and me. If you're feeling lost in the vast sea of hosting options, or if you're wondering how you might save money and enhance the performance of your websites, this video might just be the lighthouse you need.

First, don't be alarmed by the mention of my 'big nose problem'—it's not what you think! I'm discussing the oversized services of my former web host, and the hurdles I faced that require determination and perseverance to overcome. Paying $61 per month for services I barely scratched the surface of was simply not sustainable. Important to note is that this cost inflated from $137 to $209 over a five-year span!

We dive deep into my journey from using traditional web hosts like HostGator, which could not handle my growing needs, to educational platforms that shifted my entire approach to online marketing. The secret? Understanding the distinction between hustling for low-ticket items that offered meagre returns and opting for high-ticket products with commissions that truly reward your efforts.

However, let's be real. There are a lot of considerations to make before switching hosts—it's not a decision to take lightly. From inadequate CPU power to unexpected server freezes, the 'big nose' service had me at my wit's end. But this struggle paved the way for a pivotal, mind-blowing educational experience that allowed me to realize the power of quality content and sustainable streams of passive income.

Those interested in not just surviving but thriving online will find lots of gems here. Learn from my journey, understand why it is vital for long-term success to leverage resources efficiently, and exactly how you can grow beyond the limitations of traditional hosting.

So grab a cup of coffee and soak in these key takeaways. Check out my free video training for a hands-on guide to boosting your online presence and leaving behind the restrictive shackles of outdated web hosting services. Below is the link to my free video training where I share more in-depth tips and strategies.

If you're as confused as I was, and you're grappling with whether it's time to make a move, this video might help you determine if you're ready to break free and take the plunge into a world that offers you more for less. So, why am I sharing this? Because learning from the right people is essential, and as a digital content creator, it has helped me—and it can help you too.

Remember to leave a comment with a key takeaway from this video, and if this insight lights a spark of interest, consider subscribing and hitting that bell notification so you won't miss out on my upcoming content. Together, let's navigate the digital landscape and harness the opportunities that await.

Thank you for joining me, and remember, your next big breakthrough could be just one decision away. Stay awesome, and I'll see you in my next video. Bye-bye!
I think part of it is that many of those beliefs are so stupid, they taint whoever holds them. Not all beliefs are created equal, so to speak.

Also, other CEOs who might share those beliefs are at least intelligent / savvy enough not to voice them openly. Being so stupid or arrogant that you would proudly display those beliefs is seen almost as worse by many, so he doesn't do himself any favours with that.

Really the takeaway is that the interop story for Thunderbolt/USB has turned into a big mess over the last decade[1], with way too many incremental revisions and standards changes that are supported by far too few actual devices, and combinations that are pretty much never tested.

All those extra modes sound great on marketing slides, but the upshot is that consumers no longer know what they're getting when reading a spec sheet on Amazon. So you get articles like this purporting to say something about Apple products when almost certainly it's down to the lack of Intel Macs on a benchtop at whatever vendor packaged that drive.

[1] In the last nine years there have been four independently issued USB standards and IIRC another two for Thunderbolt before the USB4 convergence. That's just not a reasonable landscape for a vendor to "support" in any meaningful way. Stuff that is correct at design time is obsolete by the time it ships, and the industry makes up for the churn by just skipping testing with the "old" stuff.

> Like in Europe, Tesla sales are down

But electric car sales are up year-on-year; who cares if one car brand isn't?

> and we are introducing huge tariffs on electric vehicles from China

This may or may not happen; it's not clear that the impact will be huge in the long-run if it does, as the manufacturers will likely just set up shop in Europe (similar to how European manufacturers build a lot of their US-market cars in the US to avoid punitive US tariffs).
The bad press is particularly bad in Sweden and was all over the main media, with Musk refusing to sign collective agreements with Tesla employees there, leading to strikes [e.g 1,2].

> It's a lie to say the "data" is the moves, the data is the full outcome space: ({legal moves}, {illegal moves})

There is nothing about illegal moves provided to othellogpt as far as I'm aware.

> Complete information about the game is provided to the NN.

That is not true. Where is the information that there are two players provided? Or that there are two colours? Or how the colours change? Where is the information about invalid moves provided?

> But let's be clear, the othellogpt still generates illegal moves -- showing that it does not learn the binary conditional structure of the actual game.

Not perfectly, no. But that's not at all required for my point, though is relevant if you try and use the fact it learns to play the game as proof that moves provide all information about legal board states.

You do.

Sorry, wasn't my intention. I didn't mean libostree or Nix pollute the filesystem, I meant that installing a DE on a typical mainstream OS like Debian would pollute the fs. I have nothing against libostree/Nix users :)
Plus. It will be even worse for the battery as it will always be close to zero (at least in vw group 1.4 phev)
I own one and like it though. But I charge daily (from solar when the weather allows so) and it is sufficient for my commutes so th engine only starts in long trips.
I made some back-of-the-napkin calculations, and based on the electric range and outside charging prices it didn't seem like electric cars are really that much cheaper. The only time they clearly come out on top is when you can charge them at home at off peak hours, at least around here. PHEVs are in an even worse situation because even though they have a small battery, they need to be charged for quite some time, so outside charging is kind of off the table.

The future is going to be a horrible place for people taking over legacy code-bases. It was difficult enough with other people spaghetti code, but being able to generate vast amounts of hard to decipher spaghetti code it only going to make this horrible,

Sometimes you digress to simpler types not because you couldn't write more complex types, but because you realise that the next person who needs to make changes to this piece of code is going to have a bad time.
My ISP Ziggo only supports IPv6 if I use their crummy CPE device. I want to use my own router, so no IPv6 for me.

Does Ziggo support IPv6?

This is one example, but there are many where we need to investigate more than just, "Does my ISP support IPv6?"
Another prime example on the typical arrogance of this trade, of computer scientists:

My brain immediately goes like: You nitwit, base64 comes back from E-Mails, where you would work with Mail-Server's conception that your mails were all written, legible characters. Of course you should expect newlines, potentially whitespaces and tabs in it.

But that would be stupid of me. There's so much old knowledge and know-how we carry along for many decades - around 50 years in case of mail and SMTP. Unix and Linux are a specially egregious example, with so many conventions.... just ran into a long standing bug a few days ago, with some GECOS implementation (that's 62 years old stuff). We do a lot of good in throwing out the now unnecessary old stuff and separating the wheat from the chaff. Again and again.

In so far: Thanks for the pointer on that Base64 appears strange (also please do not let us talk about groff).
That makes sense! I'd still assume thats way less then ideal on fuel usage. Again anecdotal but my gramps is charging his on a regular wall plug. Takes long but gets the job done. And if not you still get to drive anyway, you're never stuck.
Another problem is how we arrive to a model that can be used poorly or well. There's huge copyright and ethical problems underneath every big model, and I refuse to use models which are trained with copyrighted materials, without consent.

Gentoo is right here, and until we pass these hurdles, I don't use any of these systems, even with a 100 feet pole.

Obvious slackers, sure.

But some people aren't obvious slackers. They might take a simple task ('you're in charge of logistics within the warehouse'), and make it far more complex than necessary ('we're gonna need 3 teams of logistics workers who will move parts only in a clockwise direction as directed by this homegrown custom designed work scheduling system, which by the way we're gonna need a team of 10 coders to maintain').

Those people aren't slackers. In fact, to everyone else around them, they look like the best workers who achieve the most. But, by overcomplicating tasks, they in fact pour resources down the drain when they solve a simple problem the hard way.

Sometimes these workers are overcomplicating tasks deliberately (an excuse to become a team lead), sometimes they have misunderstood the requirements, and sometimes because they failed to research or take advice from others on a simpler/easier/cheaper/faster approach.

Either way, firing them is good for the business, but usually bad for morale (because the people near them see a hard worker being fired and become scared about their own position, often leading to the real best people jumping ship).

So, the common approach is to do mass firings every ~5 years, because the morale hit is lower to do it all in one go.
It seems it is not. But is that due to the power of AI or to the fallibility of humans?

Two things though. I think org-mode syntax is not the most ergonomic and beautiful. In facts, that's the reason I stick more to Markdown when writing. Second, the problem I see here is that they want to change the source text into a formatted one. Basically introducing WYSIWYG from behind through the knee, but the source is still plain text. Can be done, but comes with challenges and side-effects (there is a reason Enriched Text[^1] never took off - although Richard Stallmann still dreams to have more WYSIWYG capabilities in Emacs)

If the parent class does not contain the default parameter values, you have no way of knowing them.

Also culture, socialization, and community structure (which may also be the result of historical events).

“Socioeconomic factors” by themselves have limited explanatory potential. Even the poorest Canadian reservations are wealthier per capita than India is now or China was a few years ago. But the homicide rate among indigenous Canadians is about double what India’s was in 1990, and triple of what India’s is today. It’s almost 20 times higher than China’s homicide rate.

We are a python shop (end to end machine learning, so we do all of our data pipelines ourselves).

So ours is pytest that builds up a fake database + tables to unit test the scripts. And otherwise it is the normal review process for pull requests.

So ours is daisy chained as well, but I am quite happy with it.

I've been using my Ubuntu installation for eight years straight. The choices regarding the size of swap and the EFI system partition made sense back then, now they don't. I used to use Windows more often than Linux, now it's the other way round, so it makes sense to shrink Windows partitions and grow Linux partitions. I'm stuck with all sorts of legacy decisions that take time to redo correctly, and doing anything related to partitions online is hard.

On the one hand, I’m on the fence about this heavy-handed approach. Tons of people, myself included, use AI assistants to create high quality work in less time. Of course I’m also aware of tons of low quality garbage.

On the other hand, I’m all for banning automated submissions which have been on the rise for the past couple of years, which are often thinly veiled (if at all) ads for AI startups. GitHub in particular should allow owners to ban all unsanctioned bots, and report unlabeled bots.
Generally, a company doing layoffs is either experiencing a demand shortfall if the layoffs are associated with current business (manufacturing, sales, etc etc), or is sacrificing future revenue to cut costs now if the layoffs are associated with R&D, sales development, etc etc. Neither are great signs.
I got to the "lesser known data structures" section and was already questioning the rest of the article:

> B-Tree

> Circular Buffer

Are either of these "lesser known"? Maybe if all you ever program in is higher-level languages.

B-trees are damn near ubiquitous in OSdev, file systems, databases, or pretty much any indexing system.

Ringbuffers are a hard requirement for pretty much any modern hardware interfacing. All Nvidia, AMD, etc graphics commands are issued via constructed ringbuffers. They're also pretty common in network programming, editor/IDE development, gamedev, and certainly OSdev (outside of drivers).

> Cuckoo Hash Table, Open-Addressing Hash Tables

These have the opposite status to the previous ones. They're not ubiquitous because the alternatives are better.

Cuckoo Hash Tables exist almost singularly as a teaching paradigm about what not to do, because it's overly complex for little benefit. Open-Addressing Hash Tables are avoided (but definitely in use out there) because they require a very good hashing algorithm to avoid clustering+collisions and a large static address space.

That all being said, it picks up and the later sections are much better.
