Not in the US. As far as I know it is one of the very few forms of debt that cannot be discharged due to bankruptcy. If you're rich, you can run business after business into the ground and use bankruptcy to avoid paying your debts. Just want an education? Sorry, chum, you're on the hook forever.

It seems like this blog post is targeting business executives who like to look at pretty visualizations, rather than actual workers. I can't imagine someone in manufacturing/engineering wanting to use a heavy, fragile HMD that (slightly) limits their vision and probably isn't compatible with any PPE. Similar for data workers, 3D viz can be helpful for understanding physical objects (medical imaging, industrial design, etc) but almost always adds friction for understanding any other type of data.

If you thought "CEO needs an interactive dashboard for this doodad report that he will look at once or twice" was bad, now wait for "CEO needs an interactive VR/AR dashboard environment that he will look at once or twice"...

No. Most if the time, state laws set limits on what school districts can do.
Almost all coal plants in Alberta have been shut down and it's a small minority of net generation now. Natural gas has taken up most of the slack, but there's actually quite a lot of solar and wind generation in Alberta considering the politics (though that's likely to slow down now).

Agree. You'd have to be a bit stupid not to see the early embrace of China was to collect, learn, and participate with the west to only later excise control then exceed and dominate. Here i want to chastise us (the west) for our money, money, money focus and quarter to quarter focus.

China, and I think somewhat to their credit, learned tons from the stupidity of Russians and were never going to be so thoroughly broken. And it's understandable; that's what we'd do. Nonetheless, China isn't so powerful as to dictate terms.

It seems like China's risk calculation was suffer short term money loss and foreign products and services now, to make own and control the market access and structure later making back the money.

That's a difficult question, but I think we can pretty clearly say that a user base with a high concentration of AdTech workers is probably a bit biased against a company that is pretty clearly anti-AdTech.

The number of times I've heard people extol the virtues of targeted ads on this site is absurd. I've even heard folks here say that Google ads are more helpful than the search results as if that's a good thing. And these are far more common comments here than comments in favor of actually returning good search results or aligning your income with user interests.
> Siri feels really abandoned.

Apple has a fairly severe case of Apple Maps-related PTSD.

They aren't likely to introduce a half-baked product in a rush to market like everyone else is doing.

Apple is unlikely to release a fundamental modern-ML update to Siri without it both breaking new ground in features and being considerably more "safe" to use than other products ("safe" in the sense of keeping Apple out of the headlines).
I mean, no not really. Take off the plate where the wire goes into the machine and there is a terminal block at that point. Unless you have some very odd machine I have never (and I've installed quite a few machines) seen one that comes with the wire.

Right - it feels like a pretty dynamic calculation and it'd be cool if there were a service to do it for you.
This requires some nuance, since I think it goes beyond a "tax on linking," as I have seen it described.

News is a strange product, and one that I think a lot of people in tech get wrong. The atomic unit of journalism is not an article....it's the reporting. Even deciding to write an article is an act based on the analysis of the reporting.

Further, a good headline often tells the story itself -- and that is implicitly included when we talk about links. How often have you read a headline, and then not clicked on the link? Probably a bunch. But you still know OJ died, or the bridge in Baltimore collapsed, etc, etc. That level of reporting, the confirmation that it happened, all that stuff -- all was expensive, all required labor and other resources.

So -- from the consumer perspective, what happens? You get clickbait. The publishers have to recoup the expenses somehow, and they need you to click through to show you ads, or a paywall. "This item in your cabinet could kill you!" Or, they cover the site with ads, hoping to get as much out of the few clicks they get.

I am not saying this in support of the CJPA, nor in support of Google. Just saying this is an existential crisis that came from the simple act of aggregation.

(Disclaimer/shameless plug: I'm a former journalist building https://www.forth.news, a social-media like news feed for reading news. While we are not there yet, our goal is to be able to revshare with the reporters/newsrooms who write the stories to be able to monetize those headlines.)
Hey, author here. I guess this is something I should update the post to address.

I guess I have always been in the "agonizing over every detail" stage, and remain so today (looks like we both have mapping parties tomorrow, because tomorrow's our 7th party :) ).

In the beginning, we were much more "lax". We waited for latecomers. During the survey, we moved in one big group. We focused on the social aspect of the meetup - often, the meet-and-greet phase would go on for too long, and there wouldn't be much time spent in actual mapping. After each party, I would be disappointed to note that most people did not make significant map changes during the survey.

In the 5th party, we decided to observe a stricter schedule, and tried a new approach - that of splitting up into teams, assigning an area to each team, surveying the assigned areas, then regrouping and reviewing the contributions. There was a radical difference. Everyone was contributing. A significant amount of data was gathered, and the social aspect of the meetup didn't seem to suffer as we feared it might.

Delhi is very populous, but somehow there are very few OSM contributors here. [1] It's been a real struggle to get people interested in OSM, and even more of a struggle to keep them contributing in the long term. Most participants don't continue mapping after the mapping party/workshop. I prefer to think there's something off in my approach rather than in the people, because that gives me the energy to keep trying new things.

It's great that you're organizing mapping parties in your region. I laud your initiative. Good luck for your parties!

[1] India's OSM community seems to mostly be concentrated in the southern states. For the Delhi OSM community, Bangalore remains our inspiration both for OSM coverage and for mapping party productivity.
You remind me of Chris Power, founder and CEO of industrial automation startup Hadrian, he once posted here similar ideas, now he is doing it, have a look at what he has been doing. He has narrowed his manufacturing focus to high precision parts.

The Silver or the Lead: How White Collar Crime Prosecutors Get Punished
Yeah my goal in using SearXNG is really getting better results, not privacy, that's more secondary for me. It's pretty good at filtering out the clickbait crap. I guess every engine promotes its own clickbait.

And of course I block cookies and ads heavily, bypass paywalls, the works. I'm sure I'm pretty trackable anyway with so many addons. Also I'm probably one out of 10 that uses my specific OS/browser combo. So with fingerprinting they have got me anyway.

I run it on a VPS so I don't really care, that one is not used for exit traffic of any other kind except an IRC bouncer. And if I really need to I can just switch to another IP :P
This struck me as well. Flash's video format, .flv was transparent out of the box and we used to do a lot of fun things with video floating over flash things.

When flash met it's untimely death, the advertising creatives that I worked spent 10 years asking for solutions that involved transparent video in html; we had to tell them no.

I hadn't really considered that browser blend modes have turned that party back on.
Context is important here.

Considering Asia's history with drugs (European imperialists growing drugs in their colonies and then selling them to China to destroy their population), it is completely understandable and a societally acceptable trade off.

I think after a few more generations of escalating drug use harming our societal well being, we may resort to similar measures.
There are also non-linearities. Obviously there are some regions in in the cheapness/efficiency/durability space that vastly increase the practical ability to deploy these things. If we had 99% efficient panels that cost pennies per square meter, and last for years, then lots more applications could potentially open up. A 50% cheaper panel may not unlock that now, but it brings us closer.

Even if we never get to any of these thresholds, its worth a shot. Cleaning up the energy sector needs to be all-hands-on-deck and people researching this stuff doesn't preclude policy changes (subsidies, federal job guarantee/new CCC, etc.) to address the labor angle.
Do you have a source for that? The backdoor was added to a minor release without a SONAME change, and generally such updates are done by distributions and not something upstreams concern themselves with.
Given that these images are infrared, that wouldn't be much.

Of course root causes should be addressed (chiefly, I believe that tuition should be gratis for public universities), but in the meantime I think this is a perfectly fine policy. It achieves three goals:

• Gets people talking about higher education payments.

• Eases the financial burden of higher education for some. It should be all, but this is still objectively better than none, provisionally.

• Provides good publicity for the political party more inclined to do anything about the root causes (Democrats).
Yeah every time they mention AI I am more sure that I do not care about them.

I always get a reality check when I encounter people who find boxing brutal. Reminds me how normalised I am to the martial arts world.

Boxing is beautiful so are many of the other martial arts, but there is something just so magical about a good boxing fight that can have skill and technique, emotion and grit. And actually watching all the other adjacent sports - MMA, Muay Thai, Kickboxing just serves to elevate boxing and show how much further you can take an idea when you specialise.

From what I know, boxing seems way safer than say NFL nowadays but you know it's not "fighting".

> Some package managers have "features" (e.g. Rust's cargo) or "extras" (e.g. Python) which might be what you are talking about.

I don't think so (though I agree that mechanisms like this are one way to approach the problem).

AFAIK both of these examples are mostly used to provide ~optional behavior (usually to exclude dependencies if you don't need the behavior). This can minimize the set of dependencies, but it's resting on the maintainers' sense of what the core of their library is, and what's ancillary. Said the other way around, both require the software's maintainers to anticipate your use case and feel like it was a good use of their time to split things up very granularly.

In xamuel's hypothetical of library A using one minor thing from library B, this almost certainly means reusing less of library B than its maintainers anticipate.

I can imagine this working in cases where the package is a true bundle of discrete utilities that almost no one will need all of (the package itself is an incredibly small core/stub and each utility is a feature/extra), and the maintainers want to intentionally design it for modular consumption.

But it's hard to imagine many maintainers going through the work of dicing a cohesive library up into granular units when they think most users will be consuming it whole?
Here the ballots are printed in normal paper. Each party prints their own, and the goverment send them to the polling stations. But other parties may steal the ballots from the voting booth, so each party must print additional ballots to replace them, just in case.

There is a plan to make a single ballot printed by the goverment, but the local county chiefs don't like it becuase it avoids a lot of dirty tricks. (The elections are quite fair anyway. The petty cheating just changes very little globaly. I don't agree with cheating, but I can't fix it.)

Some parties distribute their ballot before the election to avoid the missing ballots problem. Some local county chief ever distribute their own local ballot with the national ballot of the opposing party if people want to vote a combination. Some people distribute old ballots to that are invalid to void the votes of confused persons of the other party. In some places, the rabbit hole is deeper than you think.

It didn't end just at the ICBM of course or even the nuclear submarine. Satellite warfare became and is still a huge focus. Of course the public was pitched the maintenance bay of the space shuttle was to repair a peaceful satellite only. However, you can imagine how supremely useful it would be for a modern military to have the capability of deploying sappers and a workshop on any object in earth's orbit as well, which is what the space shuttle system also allowed for.

This seems a bit nitpicky: you just move the threshold for where you might load a backdoored library from first exec to first use which dlopens that library (which might even just be at exec anyway, I haven't checked the source to see how systemd handles it). I think the focus on the specific means that the xz backdoor used to get into sshd is misdirected: it's code that is run in all kinds of priviledged contexts and has thousands of different ways to turn that into RCE. If sshd didn't load it directly the developers of the backdoor would have simply taken a different route.

I’ve been suspicious of and disconcerted by the amount of AI-related news coming out of Kagi. I unapologetically hate the current AI craze and am turned off whenever I see it appear in one of the products I use.

I’ve also already stopped using Kagi on mobile, because they made the experience of editing the search field terrible with some JS. In particular moving the text cursor in the search field in Kagi on mobile Safari is an exercise in frustration that’s not replicated by any other text field in any other search engine, website or anything at all on iOS.

This confirmation about their core focus being LLM stuff seals the deal for me and I’m cancelling my subscription. I fully agree with this sentiment from TFA:

What about a situation where you have an ECS, and if it has say, LifeComponent(), ReproductionComponent(), it can be identified as an Organism (as opposed to say a Crate). Now, you can have inheritance off of that, a composition can be identified as an Orangutan, or a Human, but only if it was an Organism. The Organism is basically a memoization of Life and Reproduction components on the Orangutan.

Now, A human can create a child, but only if the parent object was a "Human." Am I thinking about this in the wrong way?
What are you getting at with your leading questions? It would be clearer if you just came out and said it.

I don't know why you jump to the extreme of "no matter the potential cost", they absolutely did not say that. They are talking about one specific trait, and think it is acceptable, not making some blanket statement.

They aren't claiming trisomy or Huntingtons is acceptable. ADHD isn't a death sentence and some people benefit from it today.
I’m way out of my depth here but if I’m reading this right a flow model would not base outputs on a prompt but instead, after it’s sampling/inverse flow pipeline (if I got that right?) is activated it would somehow just output whatever image it’s statistically sampling at the moment. Is that even close?
