IBM took away the ability of CentOS to be a free and trivial to swap-in alternative to the paid product RedHat Enterprise. That RedHat was already in financial trouble due to self-cannibalizing their own paid product is irrelevant; emotionally, “IBM” – not “RedHat” – made the decision to stop charging $0 for their custom enterprise patchsets and release trains, and so IBM will always be the focus of community ire about RedHat’s acquisition.

I expect, like RedHat, that the Hashicorp acquisition will result in a lot of startups that do not need enterprise-grade products shifting away from “anything Hashicorp offers that needs to charge money for Hashicorp to stay revenue-positive” and towards “any and all free alternatives that lower the opex of a business”, along with derogatory comments about IBM predictably assigning a non-$0 price for Hashicorp’s future work output.
Sure, I'm not disputing each social media company has the ability to alter public discourse.

My whole point is that there are literally billions of entities (everyone on Earth with an internet connection) who also have the ability to alter public discourse at scale. Hence why it's a vague boogeyman... the phrase "alter the mindset of a population" could be used to describe anything from a Orwellian propaganda machine to a Mr. Beast video.

In the 1990's, you could've claimed "Tetris is a software product developed by a geopolitical competitor (Russia) that has the capability to alter the mindset of the population" and you would've been right, but it would've been a silly thing to get worked up over.

Windows has caused us a lot of issues with Upscayl (https://upscayl.org).

I personally do not use Windows but most of our errors are reported by Windows users where sometimes path parsing is a problem or the drivers mess up vulkan configuration.

The fact that node takes a different approach to windows paths and sometimes the need to store these paths in storage and re-use them in external spawned processes makes it difficult to work with Windows' different and not so ideal path standards.

Gemini and Gemini Advanced both get this right

(Edit: I initially thought Gemini got it wrong but I read the answer again and it's actually right!)
For people in their mid-30s and beyond I think a big factor in them commonly perceiving that today's popular music sucks compared to the popular music of their teens and twenties is that when they listen to music from their younger days now it is a small subset of what they were actually listening to back then.

For example my teens and twenties were in the '70s and '80s. If I decide I want to listen to music from those times now I would probably mostly listen to Cat Stevens, Neil Young, The Who, The Ramones, The Dickies, The B-52s, Devo, Queen, The Urban Verbs, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, The Moody Blues, Kansas, The Clash, The Dead Kennedys, Kate Bush, Synergy, Jean-Michel Jarre, Talking Heads, and a few I'm forgetting.

If I decide I want to listen to some current popular music I might listen to something the the Billboard Hot 100 playlist on Spotify.

Of course I'm going to find that nearly everything on there is not nearly as good as the music from artists listed above.

But I'd find the same thing if instead of today's Billboard Hot 100 I listened to a playlist of a Billboard Hot 100 list from the '70s or '80s, or listened to a recording of a random day's broadcast of a '70s or '80s popular music radio station.

And I'm sure that in 2040 if I ask someone who is 37 to make me a playlist of music from 2024 (when they were 21) that playlist is going to sound a lot better to me than the 2024 music I hear now when I decide to check out current music.

Just like my list above is the '70-80s artists that I'm still listening to 50 years later, that 37 year old's playlist will be the 2024 music that he's still listening to 16 years later.
Yeah, regardless of how the justices feel about this, I can't imagine them striking it down for the reasons you describe.
I listened to the radio and watched music videos (Boston had an OTA channel that was like MTV) as a teen, and was the public relations officer and then engineer at the KTEK college radio station, which exposed me to more music.

In my 20s though I was in grad school and monomaniacally focused on my work and I avoided mass culture almost completely. Around the time I turned 30 I got interested in new music again and it was first east coast hip hop (KRS One, M.F. Doom) then psychedelia and classic rock adjacent music (by that time I was really sick and tired of overplayed classic rock, one time I was tripping on acid at 2 am and called up the local college station to complain about the Doobie Brothers song they played that is on a twice a day during drive time and the program manager picked up, I told him to play what he thought was good music and he put on Miles Davis.)

Since then I have had pulses of being interested in "new" (to me) music but it's usually been a bit old. The last round has been the Super Furry Animals (Mwng for the win!) and similar UK bands like The Charlatans. I just found out that I like some of Cyndi Lauper's later albums. Before that it was early Japanese electronica like Yellow Magic Orchestra and Isao Tomita. Before that Synthesizer by Information Society was a revelation.

Recently my son got into the big hits of Fleetwood Mac but I was amazed that they made a lot of music before they hit it big and some of it I like.

I don't listen to a lot of "new" music in the sense of "released in the last few years" and I'd be inclined to blame the prevalence of auto-tune for that. People I know in the music industry make all sorts of excuses ("Don't you like the vocoders on Daft Punk?", "... look I like the vocoders in Laurie Anderson's work and in Neil Young's *Trans&", "Isn't T-Pain talented?", "... I got no problem with T-Pain, I've got a problem with all the other rappers who sound like T-Pain") but if I hear something on the radio that is auto-tuned I'm pretty quick to change the channel.

My next project is to learn something about traditional and contemporary Chinese music.

Yeah, classes are generally better than branded types for objects (unless you're just building discriminated unions).

What's particularly better these days is that you get nominal typing and brand checks with standard private fields:

class Foo {
#brand;

static isFoo(o): o is Foo {
return #brand in o;
}
}
After all there’s even a scotus case this term about the government merely “suggesting” that social media act a certain way.

LANAllNight in Dallas is happening this weekend, it happens twice a year now. 200ish people, good old-school vibe. Minimum red tape.

Quakecon is this July or August in Dallas. Several thousand people. A sight to see, but a lot more bullshit these days, lots of security, metal detectors, etc.

In fact, I'm wearing a Quakecon shirt right now!

LANs even today are so much fun, just to escape reality for 2-3 days and play games, even single-player sometimes while you wait for friends to wake up. I can't stay up til 7am like I used to, no amount of BAWLS will help it.

Unreal Tournament 2004, Quake Live/Quake Champions, Risk of Rain 2, Left 4 Dead 2. Golf With Friends is a fun casual game to unwind with after dinner (pizza) and before hitting the hard stuff.

I predict Helldivers will be popular this year.

Yes because you assume the final cost will be 12 billion and not 20 billion.

Another real possibility is the project starts and gets engineering plans developed certified and on the shelf and 2 billion is spent getting things going… only to run into a snag and never get completed.

Unless you accidentally create the wrong branded type? Which is as likely as disordered arguments.

I love yout idea regarding language. I would check more deeply this idea. If so, I should examine 1) if language denote reality (maybe language is something else, like mutuallity of inner representation of reality, wich is different thant reality itself). If so, 2) if language can describe reality (maybe it will always miss some part). If so, 3), the sign (the written language) has to be able to fit to language (I don't know if we have the proof that language is 100% reductible to written language - think about written irony who let the reader sometime in absolutely indecidable choice, while in spoken situation it's clearly irony). It's a very vast subject ! Thank you for all the questions you raised in my mind.
I dislike "other people's solutions", because frequently they are shallow.

It's sort of like internet relationship advice.

It tends to lack nuance, like "if you can't agree on a couch to buy, you should leave the relationship".

> But maybe don’t lead with your advice.

Unsolicited advice is a pretty big relationship friction generator.
I see this as an opportunity. Not to replace HashiCorp's products - OpenTofu and OpenBao are snapping up most of the mindshare for now - but to build another OSS-first developer darling company.

Yet another example of why I think it's a mistake to take your company public. If I put in the work to build up a successful business, no way would I ever let it be turned into a machine that ignores long term health for the sake of making the stock price go up.
I see where you are coming from but we have to consider why TikTok became so good in the first place and can that really be replicated in a vacuum? Look at X, once they got taken over, others tried to step up (Mastodon, BLueSky, threads). They all obviously grew...but the winner was nobody. People just stopped using that category of app altogether in favor of a different category (discord) or nothing at all.

TikTok is branded as Douyin in China. The international version is the one that is blocked.
You forgot:

4) Increase/decrease the blood flow towards our skin and arms/legs.

This is why in hot conditions, blood vessels may widen, the heart pumps harder to increase core <-> skin heat exchange, and you see people blushing.

In turn, this "heart pumps harder" (or failing to do so) may worsen other conditions (especially in older people), and eg. contribute to kidney failure (and that in turn, to blood poisoning).

From what I understand of the way LLMs work, they don't "know" when they're confabulating or not. All of the text they generate is arbitrary, albeit not entirely random. Whether or not any particular response is useful is a matter of human interpretation.

The problem is the tendency to assume LLMs behave the same way humans do. You know you're lying when you're lying. LLMs don't even have a concept of a "lie." Even though you can ask one what a lie is, and it responds with an accurate answer, that's still just an arbitrary statistically based response. It doesn't actually know.
Googling a bit the F-150 sells about 750,000 a year and "By the end of November 2023, there were approximately 2 million reservations for the Cybertruck" (estimate off Wikipedia).

Hah. Climate change be damned -- if I had to do it all over, I'd still be inside constantly! :D Miss out on the best things in life (video games, coding) so my last few decades are better?

"Spending time outdoors" is a pre-computers anachronism. You're better off hoping for cybernetic eye implants.
Yea, I think it often depends on where a company's stock has moved recently. IBM's offer is still below HashiCorp's 52-week high. That means there's probably a lot of current investors who likely wouldn't approve a deal at a 20% premium. If your stock is near its 52-week high, then a 20% premium looks a lot more reasonable.

April-August of last year, HashiCorp was regularly above a 20% premium over Monday's close. Many investors might think it would get back there without a merger - and it had been higher. IBM is offering $35/share which is close to the $36.39 52-week high. In some cases, investors are delusional and just bought in at the peak. In other cases, a company's shares have been under-valued and the company shouldn't sell itself cheaply.

I don't think one can really have a fixed percent premium for acquisitions because it really depends. Is their stock trading at a bargain price right now? Maybe people who believe in the stock own a lot of the company and don't have more capital to buy shares at the price they consider to be a bargain - but would vote against selling at that bargain price even if they can't buy more. They're confident other investors will come around. An acquiring company wants to make an offer they think will be accepted by the majority of investors, but also doesn't want to pay more than it has to. If the stock has been down and investors think it's a sinking ship, they don't have to offer much of a premium. If the stock is up a ton and investors sense a bubble, maybe they don't have to offer much of a premium. If the stock has been battered, but a lot of shareholders believe in it, then they might need to offer more of a premium.
I find it interesting that GenZ and Millennials show a much smaller preference for their own decade's music. https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_pr...

The 1980s are still doing quite well among all but the oldest generation.

Is it possible that music may actually be getting worse? Corporatized, consolidated, computerized.

Look at Hollywood now too: everything is a sequel, prequel, remake, reboot, or adaptation. There’s hardly anything original anymore.

Nobody else is bow allowed to make a public offering of a terraform-using product. That is, you can not provide terraform as a service.
Gitlab, Azure DevOps, etc all have to move to something else as they can not provide terraform builders without a special license.

This was a major blow to the participating open source community. The license bow used is also vague and untested.

Unintentionally funny comment when positioned next to its sibling about this exact thing happening to FB in a targeted way back in '09
Sorry, using the word synthetic made it sound more technical than it really is. It's a regular iCloud account. I just said "synthetic" to get across the point that the account is basically meaningless to them, they don't even know they have it, and it's confusing to even bring it up with them. The fact that the username is an email address, but it's not actually how they access that email, would lead to
questions/issues for me personally. So I just set up single-purpose aliases in fastmail and own the accounts fully.
Anecdotally for me it's that music is now more complex the simplicity of older music just doesn't please the senses as it did back then.

Kind of the same feeling where you upgrade to two monitors and if you have to use a workstation with one just isn't the same.
I have to use Access at work. Im wondering if this could be a replacement. Certainly LO Base is not, much as I'd want it to be.

It's "true", yes, for almost everything, but there is a lot to gain from recognizing the difference between 80/20 and 90/10 or even 99/1, etc. Just like 99%, 99.9% and 99.99% uptime are VERY different promises to meet, while looking virtually identical to a layman.
I agree, but only because the office is a 25 minute walk away. If I was driving an hour I’d feel different.

We're excited to announce the launch of Zap, a revolutionary new debit card designed specifically for students in Canada.

Zap is the first of its kind, offering students the ability to build their credit history and earn cash back on their everyday purchases.
With Zap, students can enjoy the convenience of a debit card while simultaneously establishing a solid credit foundation for their future. Every transaction made with the Zap card is reported to major credit bureaus, helping students build their credit scores from an early age.
But that's not all – Zap also rewards students for their spending with cash back on every purchase. The more you use your Zap card, the more you earn, making it a smart choice for budget-conscious students.
If you're a student in Toronto, we'll be on campus at the University of Toronto next week to introduce Zap and answer any questions you might have.
