Broadcom must have the most idiotic management from all the large tech companies. Everybody understands you buy a company to recoup the investment, streamline operations and push forward with new markets.

But do you have to increase license prices by three times within the first quarter of an acquisition? Drop all free licenses that allowed for learning of your technologies? Even professionals with years of experience of providing VMWare official training curriculum are being forced to pay for licenses that were free.

All training responsibilities, dropped with no warning on the historical training providers...

What McKinsey Consultant, advised for aliening a customer base of 20 years, within the first quarter of an acquisition?

Google, Azure and AWS Sales reps must be salivating at this opportunity.
The additional information you need is that that's what Thomas Wouters does (and has done for as long as I've known them, which is many, many years).

You can't eat CPUs and they are very expensive to throw at people to keep them away from your food and your newly liberated farm.
I had this same thought before Y2K. All the hype around it I wondered if there’s tech stashed away somewhere safe and out of reach from global catastrophes like EMPs or other types of world events. I can guarantee governments have tech stashed somewhere on earth or in space. It’s the most logical way to ensure in an event like that, that those governments can restart and be ahead of everyone else in that event.
Obviously it has nothing to do with colonialism.

You're way off base on that. Just look at any of Putin's numerous (and incredibly obnoxious) pronouncements on the topic of Russia-Ukraine relations.

I don't think further discussion will be productive here. I'll have to leave you to sort these issues out on your own.
I'm torn on this, because I don't want to have LLM stuff gunking everything up either, but I think there's a general case to be made for comments like: "For anyone who is confused about X like I was, I found this explanation."

In other words, how would one exclude LLM regurgitation but permit Wikipedia quotes?
Proxmox added VMware VM imports to their product. They must be doing well because of the purchase by Broadcom. Hahaha.
SF parking enforcement is bullshit. It’s about revenue not order and safety. Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves.
It's hard to argue with land use that will pay an owner 500-600% more than its existing use. But I would worry deeply about the sustainability of those rents. What happens when electricity prices dip and the solar companies go bankrupt? The land will basically never be able to be used as farmland again.
> Smith said that she’s also curious how this research would translate to non-domesticated cats like big, wild cats. “We don’t know whether wild cats are susceptible to that illusion, because they may not encounter corners and walls the same way,” Smith said.

Given that big cats behave with (proportionally larger) boxes much the same way as domestic cats:

I am going to hypothesize that it would translate quite well.
> But by what mechanism would that strategy be able to understand the fault that occurred, in order to try again better?

I think the general idea is to apply this to problems which are clearly the result of an invalid program state, and therefore not reasonably recoverable. They are either caused by bugs, an attack, or corrupted hardware. In all cases you shouldn't continue, because there's something seriously wrong with the caller. If the caller continues, it could only cause more damage.

It sounds a bit like Erlang/OTP's "let it crash" philosophy. Erlang is used in quite a bunch of mission-critical hardware and is famous for its reliability, so it might not be such a huge dealbreaker in practice.
Sure, but I'd much rather be bound to a domain registrar, where I'm paying them for a small, well-defined, self-contained service, where I have recourse if they do someone shady to me.

For Google/Apple/etc., I'm either not paying them at all (in which case they have very little incentive to help me off someone goes wrong), or I am, but for a basket of services. The identity portion of those services is probably not what that company is focusing on providing, and any weirdness with any other service in that basket could cause me to lose my access to the identity bits, often without recourse.
Even the slightest attempt at guessing the host system or searching for tools present on a system will quickly convert this into a blog article earnestly begging for deep societal changes and analyses the inevitable marching of time.

Why would it be bad to be seated between Einstein and Dirac, and not be Neils Bohr? You'd be 3rd in your class not 1st, but if you're not #1 or #2 that works out fine as well.
Just a minor comment, but: why does EITC exist? Just a hidden welfare payment?

That out if the way, I agree with the earlier comment: why does the government automatically know all your financial details? Where is the privacy? Where is the requirement for a warrant, to access your private information?
Assume at least 1/2 are people that will learn a lesson in marketing.

It’s been an assumption trap on both sides. The current gen of EV marketing will go down in history books.
It’s a 2000 line rust embedded systems kernel that doesn’t support adding new tasks at runtime. It is written to go deep in the guts of the 0xide server racks.

Worth noting it deems itself "SVGOs missing GUI" (and does a splendid job at that). If one needs to batch process files or sth like that, svgo's CLI is still there.

Props to Jake Archibald!
That is quite the claim, any source?

Edit: I guess I'm not sure on whether large training runs count as prod or not. They're certainly expensive and mission critical.
Why could you not reuse the farmland? The solar installations are usually not deeply rooted & the land below the panels is usually quit alive & well.. what am I missing?

Uh, forget it. If even MS can't set their own proper GPOs...

Maybe they should rebase their OS with SeL4, a capabilities system and isolated NT+Win32 subsystems on top per application. It should requiere a current-ish computer to run that, but the resources would be properly spent.

A jail + own FS + subsystem would be taxing over four or fives applications open, but documents and software would stay in their own jails. Interop ala COM/OLE? Forget that, the data sharing protocols would be far more restrictive. If any, a noexec subvolume with OLE objects saved as files. Nothing like DBUS or message passing.
The user would see a directory with the objects from the clipboard per application.
And to be shareable between applications, the user must drop the object in a directory with shared objects explicitly.
Building your own thing is great, but one unintended consequence is that if your thing actually becomes popular, you'll be expected to maintain it forever. If your interests or preferred tech stack change, you are stuck with a mountain of your own tech debt. Chances are no one will ever rescue you.

For juniors who barely even know that their own preferences are, much less their long term career goals, this can be a serious downside.

When I was just starting, I had a side project that got reasonably popular but I never expected to be maintaining it years later, and it became a serious mental burden. I think the author is correct that you know you're doing it right when it feels like a chore, but it is kind of a bummer if a junior gets sucked into this maintenance burden without understanding the consequences. As a more senior developer, I think long and hard before seriously committing to a new open source project, and ask myself if I want to be maintaining it in several years before I write a line of code.
The Fallacy of Sacrificing Quality
I may be mistaken in its implications, but given the 9th Circuit's decision in U.S. v. Payne this week [1], I don't know if moving all our password knowledge to biometrics is a secure idea.

Liberty and privacy are fashionable. The problem is that our Congress passes hundreds of pages of domestic spying legislation in the middle of the night. It’s not exactly the School House Rock democratic process we learned about in 4th grade.

But that’s really beside the point. If you are like millions of other Americans filing W2s, the fact that you work for your employer isn’t a secret. Your salary isn’t a secret. Most people will take the standard deduction. There’s no reason why that can’t be the default. It’s not a privacy violation for the IRS to use that info to make peoples lives easier.
It seems to me that there are so many layers of “it depends” here that the question isn’t meaningful, at least as originally phrased. OP, can you give us some additional details around your imagined scenario?
Sounds interesting. What reading on such modern architectures would you recommend?
It might be “get military contracts deorbiting someone else’s not-junk satellites”.
Not once in my life have I heard or seen unions imterfering in any way or form with negotiations with an employer for better than union conditions. Unions negotiate global basics and of course allow better individual contracts.
No, you’re smart to feel this. See the previously linked comment from someone upset that KeyPassXC lets users export:

https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10407

When it comes to Apple, or Google, remember that people keep their accounts (and therefore access to their keys) at Apple or Google’s pleasure; people’s lives can and do get upended when Google decides you’ve done “The Bad” and they revoke your account-and there’s no learning what you did. For your, and everyone else’s, security of course.

The desire for better metadata is good, because you don’t want to hand your password for microsoft.com to microsolt.com when you’re in a hurry and a sophisticated phishing email arrived. Still, as an example, I’m trusting 1Password less and less. They just helped me autofill credentials somewhere they shouldn’t have (thankfully to no ill effect) when the password was correctly set up with website information, basically where something was site1.example.com instead of othersite.example.com. Because they ignored the subdomain.

Their response from support? “By default 1Password doesn’t take into account subdomains when suggesting an item…” and if you’re using their desktop product, there you can go change - per-item (wtf?) - whether it requires exact domain match to fill.

As so many other people here are saying, it feels like a mass lock-in attempt. If it’s not FIDO is doing a really good job making it look that way, especially with “attestation” (which could just be Web Integrity 2.0 if misused).
Perhaps something to add to the guidelines: "don't try to weaponize the guidelines when someone calls you out for misrepresenting the facts".
Which is actually happens pretty easily.

If you're using it professionally, the first time you use a day to debug something that turns out to be just ECC fault, you've lost the price advantage.
Agreed, this is not a problem they want to solve.

Nice copy.

I really recommend to use a translator, instead of relying purely on your English comprehension skills.
Not to mention multiplanetary!
It was the older generations that gave up freedom and privacy for convenience, making that choice for everyone.
It'd probably be better for farmland because it'll have a break. Then again they'll probably continue spraying nasty herbicides to lower land maintenance around the panels.
Music similarity search engine Search
Ah that makes sense, thanks for clarifying. It would be cool though - subsidize for some dedicated account "unlock/fix/repair" team at $CORP. They get paid a bunch to sit around and wait for incoming tickets, then actually help out versus stonewalling the user like Google does.
And on current GrapheneOS:

* Lockdown (require PIN to unlock) -- Hold power button 1 second, then tap Lockdown icon on screen.

* Call 911 -- Click power button 5 times, then don't slide to cancel in the 5 second delay.

* Camera -- Click power button 2 times. (If you invoked this while at lockscreen, you'll be restricted to Camera and recent Gallery, AFAICT.)

So, if you're at, say, a heavy-pickpocketing tourist attraction, or high-risk mugging neighborhood, then you might switch your phone to Lockdown, and use this restricted Camera mode when you want to take photos. Then someone just grabbing the phone will still get the phone, but at least not likely be able to access your accounts. (Though, if they try to force your finger or face to the screen, then you might need to calm them down, as you type in your PIN.)
Huh, I've never had my filing rejected but I've had the IRS send me letters a couple times. Once a year or two later, the other time (last year) a few weeks later or so before I got the refund: each time they told me exactly what they thought I'd missed.

Which still highlights the absurdity of making me re-enter the stuff they already know.
Intel Ultra 7 vs. and Ryzen 8845HS
So for my next laptop, I'm debating between these two CPUs.

The Ryzen looks much faster, and better for my needs, music production and light gaming. However it's a bit more expensive than the Ultra 7.

I really want something with a screen better than 1080p, I'm seeing Ultra 7 computers for 750 like this.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/ASUS-Vivobook-S-15-OLED-PC-Laptop-Intel-Core-Ultra-7-155H-16GB-1TB-SSD-Mist-Blue-S5506MA-WS76-Intel-Evo-Edition/5123764605?clickid=VjVX2OSOgxyPUEJWvzUjjXF1UkHWE7zrkzLVTE0&irgwc=1&sourceid=imp_VjVX2OSOgxyPUEJWvzUjjXF1UkHWE7zrkzLVTE0&veh=aff&wmlspartner=imp_1883484&affiliates_ad_id=568844&campaign_id=9383&sharedid

But I can't seem to find an affordable 8845HS laptop with a similar screen.
Gasoline and diesel have a shelf life of around 12 months. It would make more sense to stockpile propane.
BT customer service are just as hopeless at dealing with OpenReach as everyone else.

I spent three months trying to get them to switch my line over to fibre after OpenReach had stated it was available. Their approach was to hope that waiting long enough would fix the problem.

Eventually someone just closed my existing line and immediately opened a new one.
Yeah, I think it's fair to say that in the presence of anti-bot measures (whether they work or not) that the content on the website isn't public anymore.

Available to someone meeting certain criteria (student discount, senior discount) doesn't mean available to anyone. I see no reason that "not available to be consumed by autonomous agents" is somehow invalid in a way that unlimited refills is only available to humans and not robots.
Our VMWare bill went from $66 to $3600 this year (just a dozen VMs).

Next year we will be using ProxMox.

Listening to Congress “debate” this made me unreasonably upset. If you as a sitting politician have received monetary benefits from a tax filing service you should not be allowed to speak.
Sadly the best way to use this stopped working years ago. I vaguely recall in some browsers (maybe IE6 or earlier?) it actually send the submission to email directly without opening the user's email program at all.

Having to send an email with the fields prepopulated feels rather archaic by comparison, and leaves me using form scripts as a rule now.

> All of the justices ask sharp questions despite media loving to portray them as clowns or partisan hacks.

The intent of laws is to be understandable at specifying and clear in application. If it takes efforts of highly professional people to determine the application and explain the rationale - the latter part often not really done - then those sharp questions aren't worth much, and loving to portray as clowns gets quite old and turns into hopeless illustrations of the lost of reason in the important activity.

> They really don’t like pitting two principles against each other.

They shouldn't have any animosity here. If two principles do conflict, it's not the judges' job to invent a solution - they have to uncover the conflict, make it visible - a sort of a bug report - and apply some decision, with all caveats clearly stated.

Colonization wouldn't be aimed at planets, it would be aimed at structures in space. You know, like we're assuming this star-spanning civilization has been building in astronomical numbers?

Food and air would be manufactured during the trip. All that's needed is a source of energy. At 1% c, that probably means a nuclear source (or beamed power), but at higher speeds they could simply exploit the energy being deposited by interstellar matter. At 1 proton/cm^3 and .1 c, the power is 22 W/m^2.
They'll actually be destroyed by US missiles launched from Philippines to prevent factories falling into Chinese hands. But yeah, there's a high change that they go poof and with them 3/4 of the world's productive capacity for modern chips.
LLMs aren't a good fit to do the hardest part of our job. They're great at doing mental routine tasks, though. They take the easy, boring, menial yet necessary parts of our jobs off our hands.
Are investors blindly funding any company which has AI or just the term AI in'em
is this the same situation like the dot com boom where investors were pouring tons of money just because it being a internet company. also i wasn't born until 4 years after the dot com bubble so could consider to explain how it really was and if you were a part of it or right now if you are a part of any ai company
Just a blatant case of the creeping fictionalization that is destroying good businesses. No one is safe from these new finance overlords.

Well, I guess Emacs is many things to different people. After using Helix for quite some time the single thing I missed was exactly the Emacs keybindings. Not plugins, although I've used quite a lot of them.

It’s amazing how much of an idiot I felt like when we hired a babysitter for two days a week for about a year and then it came time to do things properly regarding taxes and her wages.

I understand why it’s important to do it properly (for the employee’s benefit) but when I tried to look into what we had to do, as technically her employer, and it was nearly impossible for me to figure out what we had to do and then how to even do it (federal and state). I understand why many people just want to pay cash under the table. It really made me feel like a complete moron.

If we ever do it again we’ll have to just hire a payroll service and factor that cost into what wages we can offer, or structure it so that total payments remain under the threshold required for filing.

Show HN: Htpy – generate HTML from Python without templates
I built a library that to generate HTML from Python. We have been using this library with Django the last couple of months instead of classic templates and find it to be productive. It is easy to debug, works great with static type checkers and it is easy to build reusable components/partials. Give it a try!
