This looks to have the effect of increasing the number of PHP versions projects wanting broad adoption of will have to support. Assuming PHP 8.4 comes out at the end of the year, in January libraries will need to support PHP 8.1 to 8.4.

I think that's mostly OK, but I'll be curious to see if other projects like Laravel or Symfony keep to a shorter PHP version support window just to keep support costs down.
Kind of feels like they are implementing China like full blow AI surveillance state here, and just waiting to flip the switch on it. They probably have all the bills sitting in a drawer somewhere for the next pandemic or whatever the heck happens that justifies emergency measures.
It is disingenuous to state your pet theory as though it were the explanation given in the video. By 1:20 he summarizes that it is down to “construction failure”, “excessive speculation”, and “financialization of housing”

Your theory doesn’t explain the same situation playing out across every other 1st world country at the same time.
I think it's still more in the realm of philosophy. But I do have an argument that NNs demonstrate abstract, generalized learning: the transfer learning effect.

Neural networks pre-trained on data for a completely different task, learn new tasks much faster. With a GPT-like transformer, you can feed it PCM audio samples encoded as uuencoded text, or paintings encoded in the same way, and it learns how to translate English <-> Russian when later trained on that, much faster than from a completely randomized model. There's something common to those seemingly disparate tasks that is learned. "Abstraction" may be the right word for this.

I was surprised the article didn't mention Reddit.

The issue with platforms lies in how quality contents are rewarded. Social media algorithms can be "hacked" to distribute unhelpful contents. The democratic voting system used by Reddit and HN solved this problem by quantifying helpfulness. The great thing is this mechanism incentivizes publishers to improve their contents, which is exactly what they are doing with their home pages, as mentioned in this article.

I usually use the kiosk. It took me a few times to figure it out but if there's not already someone at the register with nobody in line then I'm faster with the kiosk. Especially because when I customize the ingredients the person at the register usually either gets it wrong or can't understand so I have to repeat myself. I guess they only put new people at the front register anymore at the McDonald's near me.

Why can’t I compare them? If someone wants to emulate games they ought to compare operating systems. Like I said, cool that 9front has a built in emulator, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good use case of the OS.
So I put in:

> Green Party leader Justin Trudeau was ejected from Canada's House of Commons after fiery exchanges with Prime Minister Jagmeet Singh. Mr Trudeau's removal came after he refused to apologise for calling Mr Singh a "wacko" and "extremist" during a question period.

And your service game up with

Green => Liberal;
was => was not;
fiery => factuality;
Prime Minister => NDP Leader;
"Mr Trudeau's removal came after he refused to apologise for calling Mr Singh a "wacko" and "extremist" during a question period." => did not occur as described;

What really happened was:

Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre was ejected from Canada's House of Commons after fiery exchanges with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Mr. Poilievre's removal came after he refused to apologise for calling Mr. Trudeau a 'wacko' and 'extermist' during question period.

Considering this happened yesterday, this is pretty impressive. Great work.

So let's see what you're really trying to say...

1. You want corporations, that already have huge protections, and relatively weak governance to re-domicile in states that offer even less regulations.

2. You assume that Tesla couldn't possibly make a bad decision regarding the Supercharger team and are casting reports of its demise as mere speculation when the leader of that team is terminated, and members of the team are reporting its demise.

3. You're stating that the Model 2 is still alive, and will be here any time soon!

4. That the Supercharger network isn't a competitive advantage.

5. Tesla hasn't lost its first mover advantage when the number of well-financed competitors has increased dramatically over the last 10 years.

6. That the Model S (which sells in minuscule amounts) is indicative of Tesla improving its product line up.

7. That X is succeeding when it's bleeding advertisers, and its value is continually being downgraded by banks.

8. And that OpenAI and PayPal owe their success to Musk who was minimally involved in OpenAI, and Musk hasn't been involved with PayPal for 23+ years.

Who's delusional here?

As Upton Sinclair famously said, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
That's a cultural artifact. The same as why HOAs proliferated outside the puritan colonies: people could not be trusted to self-govern and self-regulate towards a common good.

Japan doesn't have issues with nuisances because -- culturally -- they're more aware of the effect their actions have on the world around them. The same cannot be said for a large portion of the U.S.A.

I'm of the opinion freedom as a detached goal for its own sake is a puerile pursuit, and a big driver of why we can't have nice things.
Possibly, but even after knowing what TFA is about, the title still reads the other way. It's an unfortunate thing that the majority of readers of the title will assume it is a breach of Verizon rather than an investigation by Verizon. To not understand this and allow the title to go as is, is just naivete at its finest.

SEEKING FREELANCER | REMOTE (ANYWHERE)

The construction industry, with its complex projects, workforce and operations, stands as one of the last frontiers of digital revolution. For decades, construction firms have grappled with the challenges of job costing, payments, accounting and regulatory hurdles, often using disjointed systems and manual processes. These inefficiencies not only affect the bottom line but also impede the industry's evolution.

Our vision is not just to introduce another tool into this mix but to craft a holistic solution tailored specifically for construction—a unified platform driven by the unparalleled capabilities of generative AI.

Role Description

We have acquired a mobile app and need a series of changes made to make it work with our backend. The backend is very similar to what the mobile app requires.

Beyond that, we will integrate real time messaging, communications, and notifications into the app.

Requirements: A minimum of 3 years’ experience in mobile application development, with a strong portfolio of released React Native applications.

GNOME as a project has consistently made itself clear on how it feels about the rest of the desktop Linux ecosystem existing, or working well with it:

2012 — https://igurublog.wordpress.com/2012/11/05/gnome-et-al-rotti...

Nobody should be surprised anymore when GNOME pulls some shady and technically questionable crap to try to make their "product" look better by actively breaking other people's work.
> The thing I found strangest is that some of the houses featured were in beach towns not that far from Tokyo. If I were a middle-class Japanese family, I’d be buying one of these as a weekender.

You can buy it, but what would you do with it? There are plenty of cheap hotels in those towns. It's like buying a boat - it seems like such a fun idea, but ultimately it becomes just another thing tying you down while you pay to maintain it.
Thanks for letting me know, BBC BASIC was indeed advanced for the period.
When it comes to the shutdown issue, I'd argue this is a side-effect of systemd bringing some consistency and correctness to what used to be the wild west, and is highlighting some issue that was before overlooked.

Granted, in a lot of cases the issue probably wasn't a big deal (the system is being shut down, the user is already logged out, do you really care that a system background process is being shut down cleanly?) but from systemd's perspective there's no difference between that and an actually business-critical process that should absolutely be allowed to terminate cleanly before unmounting the filesystem and powering off the machine.
Reality: ads are a fundamental of US commerce that kids will see.

(Assuming >= 8 yo or so) With this reality, I think reducing ads, but also getting them to understand ads, is a better approach than a silly dream of never letting them see an ad.

It's pretty easy to approach this positively, to help them learn. You make a game of pointing out the manipulation, have them identify it, and they learn to see them for what they are. You can do the same for news, where they (very) quickly learn to identify half truths, lying by omission, etc. Kids are pretty great at this sort of thing.

I personally think kids should know that people are often trying to trick them. But, that's something they'll eventually figure out it, with your help or not.
I feel a lot of sympathy for the GNOME developers. They are 15 years past the "let's build something cool!" stage and into the long, long grind of support and compatibility and being expected to work everywhere all the time. As an outsider, it looks like all the cool kids moved on a long time ago so it's basically just people too stubborn to quit working on it and a few paid devs trying to make something happen with pretty limited resources.

That said, as a developer I have basically had enough of GNOME, and I'm porting my personal projects to ImGUI. Does it integrate in the desktop? Not really. Is it pretty? No. It just is what it is (a library for GUI app development) and it doesn't try to be everything else that GNOME does.

A few counterpoints:

1. Heavy reliance on plants does not preclude nutritional/energetic value of, desire for and effort exerted to obtain meat.

2. Prevalence of small-game trapping/hunting does not preclude the importance of big-game persistence hunting and carcass poaching. Small-game heavy diet can be dangerously light on fat compared to protein. [1] Dietary fat tends to be harder to obtain, is more important in the short-term, and has higher energetic value than protein. Big-game gets you lots of fat and extremely high nutrient organs.

3. Endurance running for persistence hunting does not require much speed, it mostly requires…persistence. Persistence is pain-tolerance. Pain tolerance is lacking in modern society. Pain tolerance is also very easy to improve. I’ve personally seen average runners break through mental
barriers to become excellent runners.

4. It’s illogical to compare individual humans to other humans in order to refute a claim about the relative ability of the human species as compared to other species.

5. Similarly, it’s illogical to use variance when most humans today have no need to run at all and others voluntarily run far longer than any persistence hunter would ever choose to do (in resource constrained environments of the past). In such a situation, outliers will be extreme and the floor will be overpopulated relative to the past. And yet, the floor may still be higher than it would otherwise have been if not for our history. In fact, the presence of extreme outliers might indicate that the species itself is more capable than the current average indicates.

5. A mile is not an endurance run. It may seem that way nowadays to an unpracticed runner, but not to any trained/habitual runner and certainly not to any persistence hunter.

6. Stocky individuals can still run far. They just can’t do it as fast as equally trained lighter humans. This doesn’t say anything about how they compare to prey animals over the same distance.

This looks pretty incomplete. I searched for "Da Vinci's Inquest," an old CBC program, and it didn't turn up any streams even though PlutoTV say they offer it. Bukow und König, a German show that's available on MhZ Choice, doesn't even appear in the title search.
I believe that you need to inform users about the use of strictly necessary cookies as well. You just don't have to ask for consent before adding them.

https://gdpr.eu/cookies/:

> While it is not required to obtain consent for these cookies, what they do and why they are necessary should be explained to the user.

There's nothing about a cookie banner in GDPR, it's just the most convenient (and, often, laziest) solution to the question of how to confidently say you've told users something.
This argument is so dear to so many people: that guy is not successful because he works hard, it's because he's privileged and can afford to fail, so he can take chances, and second chances and third chances. I'm not privileged, so I'm not successful.

The reality is that the difference between success and failure is in the majority of cases due to consistent small choices with compounding consequences. The decision to stay late at night and finish an assignment, the decision to not drink a lot at that party, to go to a summer school rather than a trip, to not cheat on a girlfriend, etc, etc. Later on in life, when the nerds get to get their "revenge", well, it was due to privilege all along ...
Indeed, dnf (and other tools as reliable) are impressive. Never had an issue running a "sudo dnf update" even on a desktop with a decent amount of packages.

Once i had to fix a conflict during a Fedora version update. Apart from that it has been rock solid.

Windows 2019 cumulative updates are not bad, but 2016 is cursed. Be ready to put aside at least 90 mins for older 2016 installs, and cross your fingers it doesn't fail.
"Major linux distros" are mostly running on the servers in the headless mode, with most of the updates never even bothering the end-users.

"Major Windows distro" has video, sound, peripheral, network drivers; user software which is not a part of the operating system updates, VisualC redistributables, .NET version and it runs on anything from $100 10 years old system which is not even officially supported[0] to the latest $$$$ laptops, which still has shitty drivers because anyone capable of writing a good driver is not working in Intel or Broadcom, or retired for 10 years already.

Comparing Linux and Windows update models is... quite a futile endeavour, they are different.

Doing it the "standard" way (at least the way we were taught in school) the pen rests between your thumb and index finger. In both cases, you "pinch" the end of the pen with thumb, index finger, and middle finger. But holding it the standard way, the length of the pen is largely unsupported (and so support has to be provided by "pinching" harder), whereas holding the pen between the middle and index finger provides passive support. From your question, did you always hold a pen between middle and index finger?
Of all things, did you just lob an accusation of ambiguity at Lisp?

I am a STICKLER for HIGH QUALITY and WELL-WRITTEN, READABLE, and EXPLICIT classic-style data pipelines. This comes from a large dose of Dataswarm experience, and now a decent amount of recent Airflow (MWAA) experience. Can you tell that I am passionate about Pythonic ETL/Dataswarm/Airflow? If you need to make Pythonic data pipelines happen, at any stage of maturity (no data infra to huge data infra), I have a feeling that I could help, and we just might both enjoy talking!

I just came back on the market TODAY, in fact.

If you have more general or related needs, then my broader capabilities may apply, too, of course. Thus, please feel free to send an email if you suspect a fit but don't see it spelled out per se. Still, if the above strikes a chord, then that's potentially phenomenal, too.)

Apparently the law was amended in 2023 to exclude abandoned homes from this tax deduction, as well as giving local governments more power to step in and take action on abandoned homes that present a risk to public safety. [1]

Probably still too early to say whether the change is having an impact, or how broadly it is being enforced.

I don’t think Rabbit AI has anything to do with “hacker” culture. It’s a dishonest business model based on a grift. They sell you a piece of redundant e-waste hardware that is less capable than existing websites and will inevitably shut down in literal months after Google and Apple inevitably show off their AI OS integrations in their developer conferences.

Building a company that solely exists as a financial vehicle to be acquired or sell $50 plastic computers for $200 isn’t “hacking.” It’s a grift.
I feel like we have to at least have a list of some of the accomplishments at Harvard to see if it was truly not a great year or just business as usual.

Plagiarism is bad, but academia as a whole suffers from it. Stanford's last president stepped down when his old lab was found to have fraudulently submitted some research.

At the same time, advancements in human understanding take place in the messy real world alongside such problems. If those are continuing or even growing, then I don't really care whether powerful donors like or don't like what Harvard's talking heads do or don't do politically
"Passed"? The status is still "Introduced" on the webpage, is it just rather out of date? Edit: OK, I see something elsewhere on the House Clerk site [3].
