> OpenAI plans to announce Google search competitor on Monday

Isn't OpenAI owned by Microsoft, just like Bing ?

Wasn't Bing offering "AI powered search results" (which were total crap IMHO but that's another story).

Is Microsoft canibalising Microsoft ?
> The only thing that pisses me off is that Kubuntu doesnt support it trough installer ...

For my personal workstation I've started experimenting with using Proxmox (it's a Debian 12 variant) as the OS because its installer supports multi-drive ZFS installation (RAIDZ1/2/10/etc) out of the box. So, boot setup is currently mirrored SSDs (with /home on mirrored NVMe drives).

Apt installing the standard desktop stuff afterwards (Nvidia drivers, KDE desktop, etc) has worked well, and it all seems happy.

That being said, I'm only 4 or 5 days into this test setup. So far so good though. :)
Yes of course. Did you ever read the service agreement with SO?

SO is not GitHub. GitHub has high motivation to protect your (c) for you, SO has not. Never has.
I've watched this happen in the governments of four other countries I've lived in. It's largely the same story regardless of who's in charge (left, right, green, libertarian, etc).

Try to build institutions? Something backfires.

Try to tear down institutions? Something backfires.

Try to do the right thing? Something backfires.

Try to do a favor for your buddies? Something backfires.

That high politics are a complicated, nuanced dance between powerful agents and tidal forces is not under question, nor is the fact that the system generally works (obviously - we're still here and doing alright).

But that doesn't mean that you don't encounter some rather absurd situations the higher the station (which is the point of the show).

As I said before, it's a comedy, not a political science thesis. It can no more prescribe a remedy than could a rant at your local comedy club. That's not what it's for, and never has been. If you start basing policy off a TV show, you've got problems.
You're really gonna have to fill the rest of us in on what could possibly be joke-like about the throwaway intro line "Welcome to Grace."

And "not very original" makes it sound like in your world, "Welcome to Grace" is a common joke of sorts. ??
And this (in addition to the "this is the RIGHT way and if you do it the old way you're implicitly EVIL" self-righteousness) is why I have a problem with all the pseudo-DEI language changes: They hinder communication. Instead of one universally accepted term, you now come across at least half a dozen "better" alternatives for everything, and each time have to figure out what they mean, and whether they're just a more politically correct term for something existing, or imply some kind of actual difference.
THere's some evidence, yes, but there's also research that suggests that ketogenic diets can lead to increased risk of heart failure, blood pressure issues, increased risk of kidney stones, so it's really a bit of an evaluation on a case by case basis on what the benefits vs drawbacks are in each individual case, rather than a blanket recommendation that everyone with ADHD/epilepsy/Parkinson's/whatever follows a ketogenic diet.
From my own experience, it is life changing.

I grew up in São Paulo, Brazil, an extremely noisy city mostly due to traffic: old vehicles, motorbikes with open exhausts, cars honking, noisy trucks passing by residential neighbourhoods, an airport inside the city (with take-off and landing ramps over major residential neighbourhoods, including one I lived at), etc.

Moved to Sweden more than a decade ago and lived in very quiet places here, nowadays right in front of a forest with a couple of lakes nearby, and I simply cannot spend more than a few weeks back in São Paulo after getting used to the quietness. I feel much, much more stressed just existing there, even inside apartments on the 20th floor, even on the "quieter" parts of the city, it's a physical feeling that I do not shake off until I'm back home in Sweden.

One can get "used" to noisy environments but the difference it is to live in quieter areas is really hard to describe, I don't think I can tolerate living in noisy environments after seeing how life is on the other end of the spectrum...
Oh no. Thanks for passing the news along.

EDIT: just an FYI for everyone interested, here's a bit of info about how Proxmox is handling it. TL;DR Spice is still at least maintained until 2029, so it's not going to just go away anytime soon.

And PHP 8.1 is a really nice language to use for web development too.

It's got enums, typed properties, named arguments, union types, and the splat operator to name but a few.

Plus between Laravel and Symfony, you've got some good frameworks too!

Yes, I'm a PHP fanboy. :)
Logic was the absolute best for a while (IMO). Those were good times. Just don't update. I still have OS X 10.4 machines with expensive upgrades. If you're doing serious/pro-level music creation on Mac you're not installing updates until you know every piece of software is supported. It's brutal to try to produce decent-tier music if you want to actually use the computer as a general personal machine (and keep it up to date), though.
I'm not sure what others are saying, I re-watched Ghost in the Shell again recently and I had forgotten just how brilliant it is. There is something pure about it that you just don't find in modern anime, something that really resonated.

Ah Westworld is a good example! I liked the series and the premise, but I still wouldn't liken the park to a good game - it's a theme park with nice attractions.

As c048 said best (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40316308), good art needs direction and focus, and AI NPCs being able to do anything they want in an open world doesn't make for a good story. It could make for a good sandbox with emergent gameplay, sure. But my point was that there are people who yearn for a good story, and a good story doesn't have many options in it, otherwise the story's beats would become meaningless.

Hmm. Maybe with this the problem Rockstar has with their linear missions mixed with open world could be fixed a bit - i.e. the open world NPCs could react in story missions to what you've done in free roam. This would lessen the cognitive dissonance the NPCs seem to have when you can now blow a town into pieces and then start the story mission and no one cares.
Maybe they were trying to appeal to the MAGA audience, the same way Kristi Noem was so sure she could win the Vice Presidency by bragging and doubling and tripling down on shooting a puppy and a goat in the face with a shotgun.

It is like when someone here accused Andres Freund (PostgreSQL core dev who recently became famous due to the xz backdoor) of Dunning–Kruger when he had commented on something related to PostgreSQL's architecture which he had spent many many hours working on personally (I think it was pluggable storage).

Maybe you just tried to educate the leading expert in the world on his own expertise. :D
I don't think it's a "sign of the times" thing, I think it's an internet thing. If you made that claim outside IRL today it would be well received by nearly everybody, including people with bad personal experiences (if only because most people prefer to believe that good outcomes are the norm instead of wallowing in pessimism.)

But the internet? The internet is packed with people who focus on the negative, even people who resent their mothers (who may love them and treat them well) because they're so miserable they wish they had never been born.

Always remember that talking to people online doesn't give you a representative sample of what people at large are really like. There's a selection bias in play; people who have problems with "real life" have a tendency to spend more problem online.

It doesn't seem too representative, that equates to less than 1k per country. Also, the age range is quite small. Still worrisome.

It’s certainly not factually accurate. F1 drivers absolutely do not wear catheters and never have. They’re only in the car 90 minutes.
The author fails in their understanding of Animé’s history in North America.

While certain series such as The White Lion, Astroboy, Space Battleship Yamato (marketed over here as Starblazors) and Captain Harlock did see airtime first, it was Robotech - the Harmony Gold Frankenstein of three completely unrelated Animé series - that kicked off the process in 1984. It was Robotech that threw rocket fuel onto the burning embers of fandom in North America. Akira just helped the process along.
I'm sure there's some middle ground between "never time out" and "time out after 20ms" that works reasonably well for most use cases
I live in São Paulo and I noticed that contrast when I visited the central area of Kopenhagen. It was impressive and delightful how quiet that neighborhood (without cars) is.

Of course I still can tolerate the noise, since I still live here. I am used to it and, most of the times, I don’t consciously care. But I do appreciate and miss the quietness.

We have added native two-panel mode in development branch.

> - Plugins are generally challenging to install. I found a workaround and reported it, but IDK if the author took that feedback to improve the app.

In the development branch we have added support for native javascript extensions (with no external dependencies because we use Qt's internal js engine) which should be a lot easier to work with

> - To my knowledge, the app stores its configs in the Applications directory of the app. It'd be nicer to have them in ~/.config.

Also I think in the development branch you can use ~/.config, I am not 100% sure though.

Why do you think that Lisp is an "anything goes" language? What's your baseline? I think that C is no less an "anything goes" language, but with a much less pleasant UI.

Some people actually think that Lispers tend to be too philosophical
OT but interesting fact.

The first evidence we have of purple or red shoes used for kings is more than 3000 years old.

Etruscans (an ancient Italian population) used red shoes for their kings[1], albeit its uncertain whether they could be purple which is more likely. This habit then moved to the roman kings and later the Roman emperors.

It is uncertain when it went from purple to red, but it's likely a practical reason: when going outside you don't wear slippers but leather boots, which were very easy to get in a red color, purple? Not really. You can easily find purple used anywhere in clothing, but not shoes.

And who else claims (or claimed) to be the heir of the Roman empire other than the Pope?

The emperor of byzanthium [2], notice how he's the only one depicted with red/purple shoes.

The German emperor [3].

The Tsars [4] (Tsar word comes from Caesar, same as Kaiser) too claimed the inheritance of the Byzantine (and thus Roman) empires after the Ottomans took the city.

That is fair, it is a hyperbolic statement.
It's interesting that tipping in British pubs is usually "and have one yourself", and that is really location dependent. Most places, "thanks, I'll have a half" and add the price of a half-pint, London, more often the price of a pint; in Liverpool an offer of "and take your own" adds 20-50p.

Finances permitting, I'll usually do this a few times on a night out, those people working in pubs are grafters are really deserve it.
'sort of' and 'very shallow', I said.

You could write the same comment about it being nothing like dripping or spraying water ('If you don't believe me ... Now blast a hose at it') which was my point.

After being a fish die-hard for like a decade I finally gave up and learned to embrace Bash for its ubiquity. I realized all I cared about in fish was the built-in autocomplete, colorized output, and history management, which I was able to bolt on in short order to Bash.

Now I use ble.sh [1] and Oh My Bash [2] and Atuin [3] and I love it.

This is really a field where I feel standardization is the better path. It's a similar feeling I get when I observe the vast array of notetaking apps I see made and think here is a place where it would be better to pick one FOSS solution and contribute.

Yeah always tracking and uploading everything seems nice but brings with it security concerns. For example, if I generate a secret key or store a private keyfile into the repo before remembering to gitignore... err I mean graceignore it, then that key gets uploaded to the cloud. Oops.

In Git these mistakes are more easily avoided as you are deliberate about what you commit and what stays local.
On the other hand, many rock guitarists have destroyed guitars on-stage as an act of expression. Destruction is a perfectly valid mode of expression this way, and there's no "correct" way to handle an instrument just because one group of individuals idolise the form over its function.

That said, this is exactly what is interesting and "triggering" to many about the ad, IMO. That it emphasises destruction, and therefore is a metaphor for the replacement of material expression with the immaterial, or something along those lines.

Just to add, I play guitar every day. I don't handle my guitar with care: I ding it against walls, toss it onto the couch, fail to clean it as regularly as I should, drive with it in my car using no case to do so. But I love my guitar very much, because it enables me to play beautiful (to me) music. I don't want to be burdened by the "perfection" of my guitar. To each their own, I say.
FWIW, I think you are absolutely right.

I had a similar experience when I moved to a very rural house for a couple of years. It was extremely comfortable.

Whenever I got back to the city, I felt overwhelmed.

I ended up living in the city and getting used to the noise again. I made the conscious decision to do so because I felt like I limited myself a lot in the places that were acceptable.

Comfort is it's own prison.

I wonder, though, if there is some kind of gain I miss out on by getting used to discomfort.

Fun story.

A good step forward here would be to require people that put "we may unilaterally alter these terms at any time" clauses into their contracts to also provide a redlined (or diff) version, instead of just e-mailing me with a link to a whole new terms document.

Some companies have gotten better about "summarizing" the changes, but I want to see the changes verbatim.

I know, that doesn't solve the problem of the initial document being too long and inscrutable to begin with.
> I don't understand why we need to singlehandedly rely on the same company creating the issues to apparently solve them with wishful thinking.

It is because you did not start your own re-usable space vehicle company. Bezos did but thus far he seems to treat it as a billionaire's toy, throwing a few fellow class members just over the Kármán line. There's a few others making attempts to actually get to space - Rocket Labs etc. - but mostly it comes down to Musk's creation which opened the door to radically lower costs, i.e. without them the usual suspects would have had no reason to keep on pushing 70's technology at whatever price they manage to extract from the governments and the market.

It was very painful to see musical instruments and cameras/lenses destroyed. These things are so dear to many creative people that it feels like watching someone's arm being cut off.

Two possible reasons why humans don't eat humans (except when we do):

We're hardwired to have empathy for our own kind, e.g. the "selfish gene" theory, stronger for kin than for strangers but nonetheless strong enough to create an almost universal taboo against eating people. Note however that many other animals do seem to be wired to eat some of their own children: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filial_cannibalism

"The most dangerous game." People are very resourceful, and furthermore have friends and family who hold grudges. Eating people is a bad strategy because people who make a habit of it tend to get killed for it sooner or later. Hunting nearly anything else is safer than hunting other humans.
