I'm glad I checked the comments first, not worth it.
This sounds like a huge oversimplification. A lot of knowledge doesn't come in the form of words, animals, early humans, kids, all don't have speech systems yet are capable of reasoning. You can't become Mozart just by reading the theory of his work, you can't become an expert at anything just by reading the theory in fact, even though it lifts you up. There's definitely things that you know and that aren't in the form of words.
The Sony Aibo harkens back to the late 1990s. It was (roughly) the same, but cost >$2000 in 1990s dollars. TLDR: It's not expensive.
I'm thinking about Maw Gergel's Isopropyl book, and how in the 1960'sthey basically threw dangerous chemical waste out the window or buried it after a fire, scarring a kid.

That's the state of our industry today. In some ways, Open source seems among the better students of the class. In other ways, Open source is like a million people each contributing a few parts to a society critical factory, nobody noticing how big we grew. Of course that makes people uneasy.

I think something like this is unavoidable. How to get the max impact with minimal overhead is the most important discussion now, so I applaud apache's initiative.
Some time ago I needed some 3d on web so I did simple rotating textured cube demo and out of 30 webgl libraries tested only 2 achieved 60fps for such a simple demo. On web you have no performance to spare so when you plan on making larger project test performance first. If it's slow with simple stuff, it's only get worse as you add more and more stuff. (Sorry I don't remember which 2 were fastest, you should do your own tests anyway because when you will be writing your rotating cube demo you will read their documentation, maybe even posts on their community forums and you'll learn how good is doc and how friendly is the community)
We could always use 1s and 0s, maybe group them in eights. Tongue in cheek, but I guess that would be a valid (even if extreme) solution.
100% of the tests are passing.
Yes, and? Is there something I'm missing or is this just arrant bigotry?

No, not even close ... Even Gemini has huge UX gap comparing to GPT4/Opus, 8B I won't even attempt this argument.
Seems there is a market opportunity for a search engine to promote itself as AI-free... no AI prompts, just the same search keywords people have been using for 25 years, and more importantly, a commitment to avoid returning AI-generated content, as much as possible. As Google increasingly returns garbage results, I'll happily use something else.
I've never had my phone or tech device stolen in general. This anti theft stuff is a red herring or a distraction from real societal issues.

Something along the lines of "sell us your rights and the device that doesn't really belong to you will not be stolen from us, I mean you."
> Something went very wrong in negotiations here. That's all I can say. Who allowed this deal to be penned in its exact fashion?

I'm not sure this is the right way to look at it. It's more likely that nobody "allowed" the situation to happen, and the publishers just had much stronger bargaining power. So libraries either pay to participate and adjust their budget accordingly, or don't have e-books to lend out.

Or, put more provocatively in a forum run by a startup incubator: capitalism allowed this to happen.

My local library does appear to have a large enough budget to cater for this new demand but I can understand if many other city libraries don't.
The law, as implemented by people, who are not stupid, will note that a VPN is all that's needed to access stuff as if outside the country, rendering county-specific blocks laughably useless, and require that stricter measures be put in place, under whatever threat they can manage.

I'm sorry for what your wife and you have gone through and I cannot imagine the frustration caused when being at the mercy of a seemingly uncaring bureaucracy and having little power to do anything.

I do think that more often than not, the doctors appear uncaring because they're under a very similar feeling that you experienced - but all the time. If they don't build emotional barriers, they wouldn't be able to cope. I feel this is doubly true for areas like oncology where death is a much more regular occurrence and can happen even when everyone has done everything right.

I cannot fathom the feeling of having to see people wither away, to see family after family lose their loved ones. Any doctor who doesn't learn to completely distance themselves from it all is probably not going to last.
Sounds like an education problem ?

This kind of spam is an annoyance, but you learn to filter it out soon enough.

Stack Overflow is a great example : its value is not so much in giving you a quick answer, but even more because you will see several answers, and the discussion around them. And yes, sure, convincing malicious actors there are always possible, but not probable.

Same thing with Wikipedia's Talk pages, blog's comments (with the censorship issue), or third party comment sites like HN (with the platform issues).

Since this regulation is happening, necessary and welcome, it's good
to see some of the most respected FOSS groups taking the
lead. Hopefully many others representing smaller development
communities will join the Eclipse initiative. I would characterise
"Apache Software Foundation, Blender Foundation, OpenSSL Software
Foundation, PHP Foundation, Python Software Foundation, Rust
Foundation, and Eclipse Foundation" as BigFOSS. :) Joe Hacker
also needs a seat at this table.

> establishment of common specifications for secure software
> development based on existing open source best practices.

The problem with "best practices" is that there are always better
practices. Hopefully this group don't ossify around "best practices"
that are already out of date but become research focused. To be blunt,
a problem is not that "best practices" are never followed, but that we
have about 30 years of technical security debt to catch up with.

This foundation is also going to be a money pit, because it needs to
help other developers. It cannot rule, dictate or enforce anything.
Since most European devs are going to want to join in, it's going to
be paying out for conferences, education, development grants and
T-shirts. It'll need a pipeline of money from EU and commerce - and
there's the danger of corruption.

According to their press release:
""We've done this to create a bulwark against surveillance capitalism, the risk of buyout, and open-source projects becoming abandonware," the Open Home Foundation states in a press release. "To an extent, this protection extends even against our future selves—so that smart home users can continue to benefit for years, if not decades. No matter what comes."

As we've seen with 'OpenAI' there's never a guarantee, but I applaud this step.

In an interview process they tried to sell this to me. So I asked the question of what would happen in case of disagrement. It would be solved magically by consensus...
I told them no. No structure or too much structure leads to the same result: chaos. A different one, but well, not good in either case.
A luxury product for early adopters that looks great and works out of the box does not seem roughly the same to me than a device you still ultimately have to calibrate, expand (the default model of this doesn't even have a camera iirc) and program loads to do anything.

I'm building a JavaScript game in my own engine, which in retrospect was a big mistake considering the game utilizes a lot of multithreading (the game is "Noita meets Factorio" so it's required for the simulation). You can only share memory between threads using a SharedArrayBuffer with raw binary data and you need special headers from the web server to even enable it. This means that I've had to write a lot of convoluted code that simply wouldn't be necessary in a non-browser environment.

Other than that I really like that I can piggyback on the browser's devtools and that I can use the DOM for the UI.

>science... is based on facts that can’t be denied indefinitely

This could apply to physics, but history (another kind of "truth") can still be written by the victors even in the long-term. Look at Carthage, etc.

The old joke is that "all science disciplines are either physics or stamp collecting." The physics can always be re-discovered per Aaronson, but stamps (or entire civilizations) can be destroyed, leading to some parts of historical knowledge being lost irrevocably.
Libraries have limited money. I'd rather they buy 10 different books than 10 copies of the same book, even if that means some people have to wait longer to read that one popular book.

> They seem to have been convinced we'd produce 8 quadrillion devices.

While I'm not arguing that their decisions were wise nor that they shouldn't have been able to foresee and prevent the issues they caused you and your colleagues, I would add this one thought in response to the line quoted:

It's often either beneficial or at least considered beneficial to prevent business information leaking through serial numbers, the simplest example being that if you start labelling your products with 1, 2, 3.. and never deviate, then it's fairly easy to take a sample of not many serial numbers and estimate how high they go and therefore how many have been sold. Sometimes it can also be beneficial to make it harder to guess a valid serial number (eg it prevent customers from pretending to have a valid one to get a refund, or whatever).

Of course, even if you have these concerns and want to mitigate them, it doesn't prevent you from also taking steps to prevent difficulty reading the correct characters. If anything it should make them more aware of the potential issues you faced since it means someone is already actually thinking specifically about what system to use, as opposed to what likely happened in your case of someone spending 30 seconds going "we need serial numbers, using X digits means we'll never run out, job done".
That's simply not true. matz has said this explicitly in the past:

> The bang (!) does not mean “destructive” nor lack of it mean non
destructive either. The bang sign means “the bang version is more
dangerous than its non bang counterpart; handle with care”. Since
Ruby has a lot of “destructive” methods, if bang signs follow your
opinion, every Ruby program would be full of bangs, thus ugly.

This optimization option isn't on by default? That sounds like a lot of missed optimization. Most programs aren't going to be loading from shared libraries.

Maybe I can set this option at work. Though it's scary because I'd have to be certain.
I didn't say rich, powerful and unethical people actively need to work against public libraries. They just don't need to support them, which is enough, given the fact that they often land in or near places of political power.

Just don't increase the funding while inflation increases and you're basically cutting funding. And then when things eventually start to look like shit tear them down. And these are not even things a rich, powerful and unethical person needs to do willingly or on purpose. It is just a thing that happens, because it isn't high on the priority list. And it isn't high on the priority list because it doesn't make them direct money.

Now if you're a politician that profits from your constituents being not too critical why should you actively support a thing that has the potential to make them more critical? Not that you actively have to be against it, it just isn't that high on your list of priorities..

This is how incentives work. And while there are people who will support measures which won't directly profit them short term, it seems to me they are an endangered species, at least in the US.
Meanwhile, US reduced funding for the NVD database that the software world depends upon for vulnerability analysis, https://nvd.nist.gov/general/news/nvd-program-transition-ann...

NIST maintains the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), a repository of information on software and hardware flaws that can compromise computer security. This is a key piece of the nation’s cybersecurity infrastructure. There is a growing backlog of vulnerabilities submitted to the NVD and requiring analysis. This is based on a variety of factors, including an increase in software and, therefore, vulnerabilities, as well as a change in interagency support.

March 8th analysis by Linux Foundation's OpenSSF, https://www.securityweek.com/cve-and-nvd-a-weak-and-fracture... & https://www.linkedin.com/posts/netriseinc_cve-vulnerabilitym... (graph)

> Starting February 12th, thousands of CVE IDs have been published without any record of analysis by NVD. Since the start of 2024 there have been a total of 6,171 total CVE IDs with only 3,625 being enriched by NVD. That leaves a gap of 2,546 (42%!) IDs.

Private/paid offerings? https://www.darkreading.com/vulnerabilities-threats/nist-nee...

> NIST is going to open up the program to a consortia of vetted organizations from the industry in order to deal with the backlog of vulnerabilities that need to be analyzed.. Budget cuts happening for the first time in a decade.. hopefully a pivot to a private-public sector partnership can be reached quickly to scale up the program

OSS alternative to paid offerings? April 2024 open letter from Yocto, https://github.com/yoctoproject/cve-cna-open-letter/blob/mai...

Processes/tooling to easily allow CNAs to adopt enhancements to CVEs would also encourage improving the data, ideally as easy as something like a GitHub pull request. We, as projects that need to respond to security issues, could all do things in our own ways. Many of us have open source backgrounds and realise the power of collaboration and would much prefer to work together and build something none of us alone could achieve. We need the tools, processes and core support from the CVE project to make it happen.
An alternative would be to print IDs using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FE-Schrift, which was specifically designed to make normally similar characters to look different.

> books they know won’t sell well but will be lent a lot at the libraries

This sounds weird. Wouldn’t the books which are lent more also sell more? Childrens books are a big market for book stores and of course they want to sell the most popular books. Are you referring to some particular book which cannot be purchased?

Also libriaries does not have to buy any book.

> You print books? Well we have e-books now.

The vast majority of sales is still paper books.

> You do marketing? Authors now have their own followings on social media and can reach them directly.

Some do. Most don't. Especially new authors. Publishers are playing a risky game of trying to figure out the tradeoff of how much to invest in developing an authors brand in the hope that future books will cost less to sell. Too much, and you have a cashflow problem today. Too little, and lose out on future returns.

> You give cash advances? Fans on Kickstarter give 10x more.

Most authors have no fans yet, and most never will - most authors write only a few books in their lifetime.

From what I see, most authors (myself included) would rather not deal with most of what publishers do. If anything, most authors would prefer it if publishers did more of the sales effort, but it's not economically viable in most cases.
And is already rusting and able to act as a vegetable chopper.
Absolutely politicians need to be informed. No one would disagree with that. However the job of lobbyist is not to inform - explicitly. That's not the purpose of a lobbyist. The purpose of a lobbyist is to influence public policy in favour of private interests. Usually industry, but sometimes individual corporate interests. The relationship of lobbyist to politician is similar to advertiser to broadcast audience. Hypothetically there is an informational component to the communication - but only so far as its effective in manipulating its intended audience.

Instead what politicians should attend to is published research and organisations like the National Science Foundation which exist in part specifically to foster, explain and communicate the state of the art of knowledge in a given domain to politicians.
What a strawman!

Depending on how they got the deal with the library, and how much they get compensated for that, yes it is.
The handwriting of numbers and letters being confusing between countries is something that's easy to not think about until you've actually faced the issue multiple times.

I'm English, and I can't honestly remember which country it was that I've lived in (I think France...) where there were a couple of numbers that even after living there for a year I still wasn't confident reading when hand-written on things like café menus. And I don't think I would have thought of that being a systemic issue rather than just blaming an individual's handwriting before I lived there, despite having taken over 100 trips to France before moving to live there for a year.
Not to worry you, but Microsoft are hyper embedded all throughout your government :)
The people that want this ban are, for all their performative public facing statments, not altogether stupid.

Despite the claim for a ban the desired end goal is what is effectively a bloody great speed bump that slows the transmission of bullshit when fire starts in a theatre.

What very rapidly happened in Australia very soom after the stabbing in the church was a flood of BS claims and counter claims that had no truth to them but served to inflame a crowd which surrounded the church demanding retribution and the immediate lynching of either A) the Muslim responsible, or B) the Jewish man responsible ...

It's fairly widely understood in Australia and, surprisingly, supported on both sides of the political divide (with one or two specific exceptions) than total bans aren't achievable but legal boundaries can and often will slow the speed of yelling "Fire!!" in a theatre.

While there are few real absolute in life it is generally the case that most of the people that can operate a VPN aren't getting sucked into bloody stupid real life pitch fork waving.

Although it's certainly the case that some of those that can operate a VPN will be turds that enjoy pouring gasoline on a spark.
