Shining city of open source, I have to laugh. You provided code, that is in a central place called Github (with an octopus-cat mascot...), that is now used to train LLM models, that will unemploy a lot of developers. It is and was a trojan from the get go. That is your shiny city of open source. Oh, and unless you are a very known entity in the space, you won't get any money for your work. This is the biggest farce ever concocted. Just let FOSS turn into POSS, Paid Open Source Software. It won't happen.

Anyways. I don't really understand what the author is talking here. Seems like he is in a very deep forest. Since the fines start from 5 million eur... The CRA is not about FOSS developers, it's mostly about companies who create devices that we use in our everyday lives.

Apple phones do not auto install updates, now they will. Intel will think twice before implementing some untested shit. Companies will react swiftly when something goes sideways inside their product.

I'm not sure. Since I've never seen a situation where millions of people earnestly try for something they want, I would only be theorizing on the outcome. I think certainly there'd end up with more than 2 or 3 success stories, which is mainly my point though
> I can see where someone with their pulse on international politics might read into Trisolaris vs Earth being some sort of a proxy for China vs USA.

Yeah. Viewing The Three-Body Problem merely as a metaphor for China-US relations shows a limited perspective, as the novel addresses the fates of civilizations across different solar systems and the fates of the living beings in the entire universe. In such grand scheme of things, China-US relation is really nothing
But you can assume non-UTF-8 upon seeing an invalid UTF-8 byte sequence. From there, it can be application-specific depending on what encoding you expect to see.

(And of course UTF-16 if there's a BOM)
> Powershell's syntax is so fucking weird and verbose.

Yeah. At a certain point it is almost impossible to internalize that complexity.

As someone suggested...in the era of AI, this might not matter at all.
The carriers can ping your phone to have it report its current GPS location. Passive collection of location scales better but the carrier directing the phone to actively transmit its current location is definitely a thing and you can't turn it off.

If you enjoy Slow Horses, I highly recommend the book series it’s based on. I’m not sure if Mick Herron wrote the books with Gary Oldman in mind, but it’s the perfect Oldman character nonetheless. The show is quite a faithful adaptation of the books, even down to some lines.
Excellent review of Oldman in the 3rd season: https://defector.com/gary-oldman-is-gross-and-loving-it?gift...
It is a confusing definition. I wouldn’t consider most bread and pasta to be ultra processed but simply processed (except the bread that lasts for weeks). Ultra processed in my mind is when you take the source materials down to constitute parts and then Frankenstein a new food item out of it. Like Pringles. And then a traditional actual sliced potato chip is processed food because it’s a deep fried sliced potato. They’re probably about equally unhealthy too.

It’s also confusing because I’ve had lentil or chickpea pasta which is ultra processed but has higher fiber and protein and is probably healthier than wheat based traditional pasta.
Roughly correct, but: the main issue turned out to be whether even the 1:1 lending was legal. That's what the initial ruling clearly denied IA, and contesting that is the focus of the IA's appeal. (The appeal also asks, in a small aside section 'II', that if the general idea of 1:1 controlled digital lending judged acceptable, that the ruling with regard to the temporary "National Emergency Library" expansion also be reevaluated in that light.)
Yes that’s kind of nuts to group those in the “ultra” group. All three of those are some of the healthiest things you can eat. Especially yogurt.

They almost always start out this way then slowly become figured out and integrated into the corporate machine. And the ones that are centralization-resistant become demonized and/or suppressed by the media. Tor, bitcoin, etc.

> Well, no. The density in the observed universe is used to extrapolate the number of galaxies in the non-observed universe. The size of that universe is extrapolated from the rate of expansion and the time since the big bang.

> We may not know the exact size at the start, but we know it was infinitesimally smaller than it is today. So the size of the initial universe isn't a big factor in the equations about how big it likely is today. Weather it started as a few centimeters across or a few thousand light years across, both are functionally zero compared to the current size.

Most things you're saying are correctly rooted except for what's beyond the observable universe. I'm not sure why the staunch belief that you can confidently claim this. To be clear, you aren't provably wrong - likewise not provably right either.

The replies to you are just fine, they represent a significant portion of the scientific community that says our universe is likely infinitely big and that, possibly, the big bang was infinitely small, yet still, still infinitely large. An infinite expanding into infinite still results not knowing what's out there.

PBS Space time talks about it in terms of "scale factor"[0] instead of absolute diameter.

Still, these are all debatable theories, so your take _could_ be valid, but generally, it points infinitely large.

AI is many things, but deterministic with natural language it is not.
>What was the issue with low-fat recommendation?

AFAIK the issue wasn't with low-fat itself per se, but rather that fat was replaced with sugars for things to be palatable. This ended up being much more harmful than having fats, as sugar takes a toll on blood sugar levels and has high energy content itself.

As things got labeled low-fat, people thought this meant a healthier alternative, when in fact it was worse or similar. The view that it was more healthy led to higher rates of consumption.

I consider fats far more healthy than sugar, main issue with fats is their high amount of energy, but from blood sugar standpoint they're a non issue in my opinion.

So yeah there's nothing bad with say no sugar low fat yoghurt healthwise. I eat such yoghurt sometimes and find the taste refreshing. However most people would consider this totally unpalatable as the taste is bitter, not creamy at all and so on.

>Smarter changes than what?

Smarter changes than calling low-fat same as healthy I guess. Careful as in not labeling omission of some nutrient as healthy outright.

I wonder what they really mean here.

(a) 5-7 year olds are "on" tiktok producing content.

(b) 5-7 year olds are watching funny videos of cats on TikTok.

My 7 year old son will sometimes watch pet and food shorts with my wife on her phone with Douyin (TikTok China). He isn't really "on" TikTok, he is just consuming some of the content while waiting for his Nasi Goreng at the Indonesian restaurant.

I seriously wonder if the vast majority of of that 30% are just watching funny dance videos or something like that on the web or on a phone as some form of screen time (damaging because it is screen time, but no more damaging than watching YouTube kids). I think it is crazy for a kid to have phone at that age, but a tablet with screen time limits is much more reasonable. Especially on Sunday when there aren't so many activities scheduled and they've already done their homework.

Screen time in general is a challenge.

The years when your age is 30-50 are the years of your 'Peak Effectiveness'. If you're going to achieve something, it will most likely be in that time.

The Millennials are in that age-zone. So they're naturally going to have an effect.
Not OP, but I do. In principle it shouldn't really matter what the size of the binary is, but a large binary relative to peers in the program's category usually reflects complexity and bloat. Powershell feels sluggish and unresponsive to me relative to fish, bash or zsh (the three shells I've used most). I was so put off by the feel of powershell five or so years ago that I haven't used it since then. For that reason though, I will concede it's possible it's better now but I'd be pretty surprised given Microsoft's track record.
If it isn’t clear by POCUS “personal equipment memberships” I mean portable per user licensed devices like the Butterfly or Clarius (have you heard of them?) not the trusty biohazard in the supply room. Those are very much not standard of care since most make do without it and I question how with the times you are if you think I was referring to ultrasound in general.

Your anecdote doesn’t change the fact that the access to costly resources is correlated with the finances of both the locale and the organizations. To argue otherwise is detachment from reality. And I’m going to wager that the “poorer” system in your story was still quite wealthy in absolute terms.

> Those funds are sometime allotted as part as a compensation package, but it's just that-- an employment benefit that offsets what they have to pay you.

For me, on macOS, FoxTrot Professional has been my personal file data indexer. Its essential go-to feature for me is sophisticated searching, including a form of regex. Also, true wildcards, no stopwords, and proximity searches put it far out in front of anything else I have tried, including many recent LLM local-docs tools. I have millions of files in dozens of formats in hundreds of GB gathered over decades (many digitized by me) and it handles it all like a champ, though an SSD drive and a late-model Mac is a must at that size. And backups, cause ain't nobody want to lose that.

Communication protocols that incorporate spread spectrum (code/direct sequence for GPS and chirp spread spectrum for LoRa) get a "processing gain" at the stage of the receiver where the signal is despreaded. The resulting signal will have an SNR roughly equivalent to a narrow band (non spread spectrum) signal with otherwise the same parameters. You will have a generally equivalent bit error rate for the same SNR.

It's also possible to receive non spread-spectrum signals below the noise floor, if you can observe it over longer time and get additional "processing gain" that way

Additionally, it is a bad idea to use spread spectrum as a means of concealment because if the adversary is physically near enough, your signal will show up above the noise floor. Due to the inverse square law etc, you have a narrow zone of enough power to be received by your remote recipient, but not enough power for closer adversaries to detect you. You are also reliant on the unlikely situation of an adversary without more advanced RF hardware with lower noise receivers.
Asterisk is one of the current great magazines to follow. Their articles have been great, even in domains I'm knowledgeable of.
This is what I've moved to lately. I like the idea of structured data but PowerShell just feels like a shell designed by people who don't really want to use a shell.
It’s still a lousy interactive shell, although it’s a fine sysadmin oriented scripting language and better than bash/zsh/fish for such purposes.

You’d only ever use it to work with Microsoft stuff though, and older Microsoft stuff at that.
PowerShell exists on other platforms

Existing socialized medicine, that helps them, is OK. New socialized medicine, which might help other people, is not OK. The politics involved here are not complex.

"Track record" often looks a lot better because a fund manager got lucky early on, and number goes up. But they were not managing a big fund then. So then they get lots of investors and at the same time regression to the mean happens.
powershell is a 440k executable on my machine. functionally, it's much more capable than dash. I don't think powershell is even remotely interested in competing in whatever space you are in.
> The delay is important for increasing security, but then why not have it after the check?

It really isn't on a local machine, when the keyboard is used to enter the password manually. There should be zero delay. 0 ms. That'd be acceptable. And some system can be configured to "no delay" before successive password attempts.

If one really believes adding a delay locally helps, the only thing that makes sense is introducing a delay after several broken attempts (like, say, five attempts: 10 seconds delay).

But security theatre by having a 3 second delay between two login attempts is ridiculous.
I think laying off employees without offering to move them to where they are shipping the jobs to is an example of poor treatment. While the employees acted with the utmost professionalism in their social media posts, you can tell that they are hurt.

My issue with ultra processing is that it makes it easier to swap ingredients for cost cutting reasons. I think corn syrup in soda is the most famous example, and that substitution has had plenty of unintended consequences.
Honestly bash would be fine if the control structure syntax was a bit more sane.

(... and set -euo pipefail was default). Bash scripts can be tiny for what they do, and the ssh integration is unmatched.

xonsh is nice but it's been unstable for me lately.

nushell is nice but not sure if it's worth switching the default for.
> Many charsets decode fine as UTF-8 as long as the message happens to fit in ASCII.

At which point the message is effectively ASCII. UTF-8 is a superset of ASCII, so "decoding" ASCII as UTF-8 is fine.

(Yes, I know there are some Japanese text encodings where 0x5c is decoded as "¥" instead of "\". But they're sometimes treated as backslashes even though they look like ¥ symbols so handling them "correctly" is complicated.)
A trajectory question: have we have definitive answer to why the US now has so many obese people when before 70s not so many (or I just got the wrong impression from poor sampling of videos)? It's not like the US didn't have enough supply of food or people didn't have access to cars. The US was wealthy then and still wealthy now.
I've had my house raided, and $10k worth of gear taken by law enforcement, which they kept for 8 months, finding nothing, then I got to go and pick it up.

My perspective is permanently in "what if they come after me" as a result of this.

However, even prior to that incident, I've believed that violating the rights of an innocent party is a worse outcome than not being able to access incriminating data of the guilty.
PowerShell is great -- but there are some things you simply cannot do with it. For example, try to escape '$', which can be included in urls but can't be used in Invoke-RestMethod.

Bash via WSL saves the day, in this regard (e.g.: $results = wsl ./myAwesomeBashScript.sh).

While PowerShell is great as object-oriented scripting, it still can't handle simple tasks that can be done in the likes of bash, zsh, etc.

Contra this article, I'd highly recommend the book it mentions: Ultra-Processed People by Chris van Tulleken. It collates a lot of good studies and evidence that highly processed food is less healthy in and of itself, even if macro- and micronutrient composition is identical. It also covers a lot of the misbehavior and lobbying by food companies, marketing to create addictive behavior, as well as the engineering going on to create hyperpalatable foods.

My diet's generally clean, but the book was a great reminder/jumpstart with clear guidance (eat less processed food) that's not preachy or prescriptive.
I am reminded of David’s song in Psalm 19 … It’s amazing to me how in the thousands of years since he wrote these words, we’ve still only scratched the surface of observing the beauty and depth of creation.

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.

Open sourcing would just be a PR tactic IMO. Since it's all local storage anyway, there shouldn't be many security maintenance issues. I just think it gives a nice story angle for bloggers and tech press. But agreed, trying to build an active open source project with a community around it is a whole other ballgame and likely not worth the trouble.

Interesting. My understanding was that IMEI could be traced to what vendor it was sold to, then they could pull the purchases and either see the card used to buy it, or find the video when the transaction occurred. Guess it depends on whether there is a method to pin which the exact phone without needing to scrub the purchases records.

Everytime IPv6 comes up there's back and forth on NAT vs firewall etc etc.

That's easy. IPv6 has more flexibility. You do what you want and leave everyone else to do what they want. Networking stuff will break sure, but hasn't it always...

I haven't gone to IPv6 at home because working with an IPv6 string is so much harder.

I can't always copy'n'paste addresses. I often shout/phone an address to someone else to type in. And talking to 3rd parties (ISP , anyone controlling outside WAN) etc IPv4 is a known quantity.

It's that chicken vs egg problem. I don't want to touch IPv6 at home until other admins have figured out how to make this easy.
It ships with PSReadline now which gives it bash like autocomplete.
Meh I'd rather start making those assumptions and blame everything that doesn't use UTF-8 as broken.
PowerShell also needs all the other dll's located next to the executable so it's way more than 440k. Granted I agree that this isn't a space they really care about and the problem is more due to the dependency on .NET itself.
I do considerable weight training and HIIT through out the week. I can move large amounts of weight and my body shows it.

But I'll tell you this, when I eat cheddar sour cream ruffles, I feel like @$$. Thy taste so good going down but I will feel gross .

In my non physical fitness day, eating these wouldn't make me feel gross.

Are ultra processed foods unhealthy? Probably, especially if they make someone who is a high performing athlete feel gross. A body at peak performance demands clean macros.

But even at the end of the day, calories in, calories out.
