> “As a company, we’ve been deeply tied to AI since our inception,”

This kind of statement is just so weird. Really? They were deeply tied to AI in the 80s? When they were launching their first games and calling devs “software artists”?

Unless they’re talking about computer players and NPCs, but… what a stretch that is. It’s like greenwashing, it’s… AI-washing. Very silly.
I think I have a very vague memory of the "hang, hang, hang, SURPRISE! You're dead" thing happening in Diablo II but it's been so long I wouldn't bet on having remembered correctly.
This isn’t the project maintainer we’re talking about, it’s the Debian package maintainer. Their job is building a working .deb with working software, not randomly messing with it. Users have the right to demand their packages to be trustworthy.
> If both upstream and a significant portion of users strongly disagree with a maintainer's judgement, then how is their role as maintainer justified?

By their making the decision they think is best and that agrees with the philosophy of the distribution they're maintaining the package for? I'm glad they don't have to justify their existences to upstream and every "significant portion[...] of users."

> It's KeePassXC's job to secure the software and produce features that fulfill users' needs as they see fit.

You don't control free software after you've licensed and distributed it that way. The entire point of the concept is to make calls like this about anti-features. KeePassXC can feel free to comment on it, like anyone else. They can demand that Debian make available the modified sources. They can revoke any license to the use of trademarks. That's it.

If users only want to deal with KeePassXC, they can compile it themselves or use a portable version. If KeePassXC wants to deal with Debian users directly, they can host a package repository for their canonical version.
If ISPs weren’t so stingy with providing symmetrical, >10 Gbps, connections to residential homes. Then we wouldn’t need to have centralized data centers that consume massive amounts of resources in a specific region. Instead we could have distributed these resources amongst the entire country. Create local jobs (imagine a local “data center” that serves resources to people of {city}, {state}.

The internet should be distributed instead we have concentrated the vast majority of it into these “cloud” providers which subsequently hoard the wealth (ie, aws subsidizing the losses of the warehouse division), redistribute local resources to the top C-level executives and shareholders.

Jobs outsourced (or “in sourced”) to people that have no connection. No care about the quality. Only care about fake initiatives and “mission accomplished” type milestones.
Unfortunately this particular therapy will not.

However the vehicle being used (viral) could be used to carry a different payload which enables regeneration of the cells it targets. This research has proven they can get to the place which is important.

Though remember hearing is comprised of many things, auditory nerve, SGC, axons, supporting cells, INC and outer, not to mention a healthy environment for which hearing cells 'bathe' in (Perilymphatic fluid).

The research is ongoing, I often hoped there was more advocacy groups to help increase government funding in this area as it's a condition soon to affect us all because of age.
The impact won't just be after we're dead, we're simply going to have less warm bodies to provide us care when we're seniors and retired than exist today. Schemes like social security, pensions, etc which are financed by new entrants into the system will also become fiscally unviable and benefits WILL be reduced.

Broadly, my objection is that these linguistic changes have had no positive impact on anything meaningful, and instead act as a corporate smoke screen for real issues.
"I wish there would be some tool w/ DDL that you can use to define schemas, functions and views which would automatically sync changes to staging environment and then properly these changes on production."

There is. Liquibase (or Flyway, or...) Add it to your build/CICD/deployment process.

I have used it even for TDD stored procedure automated integration testing + CICD deployment alongside .jar/(JVM-using Scala) regular code + SQL DML/DDL deployment for a serious production app.
I have already been using bubblewrap[1] to isolate KeePassXC from the network and more (the only access it has is to its own private directory and a hardened Wayland socket[2]). I wouldn't recommend relying on devs or maintainers to do application isolation work for you.

I thought the prevailing advice was to expose views (materialized or not) rather than tables directly, but I could be wrong or outdated.

I still probably wouldn’t do it, though. My “lazy” solution is usually OpenAPI code generation so I basically only have to fill in the SQL queries.

Not having any code gives me the nagging feeling that very soon I will hit a problem that’s trivial to fix in code but impossible or very stupid to do via a SQL query.
Not defending the water usage of golf courses, but 5 million a day is a lot more water than 100-200 million per year. I guess you could say data centers provide a tangible utility while golf courses do not.
And here I am paying for energy to heat my house like a sucker, would be neat if we co-located data centers in cities and then captured/transported the heat to homes/buildings
Admit, I am partially wrong.

I was working with supabase and in there you can't set a role for the user, it's always `authenticated`.

I was looking for something more like

```
create policy "No payment_total for user"
on todos for select (payment_total, invoice_number, payment_hash)
using (
-- Dynamic code example
(select auth.uid()) = user_id AND get_user_role(auth.uid()) != 'admin'
);

```

This seems like it would only work if the applications in question didn't contain any PII - as soon as you get into applications or flows within an application that contain some form of PII, either displayed or the user entering it, having them send a screenshot of the entire screen is asking for the user to accidentally leak their PII to the person reviewing the ticket.

Where I work (in which the above would be a problem), we make sure to log enough information that given a relative timeframe of when the user had the issue, we can usually narrow down to where the issue was using context and some querying of the logs (splunk is incredibly helpful for this)

You could use solar panels for 1/2 the year and wind all year. Some stations are doing that today.

But yes, this is a major concern. A few modern nuclear plants would solve the problem, but you'd have to build them. It wouldn't be cheap.
There are ways to 'approximate' a uniform distribution by just choosing greater and greater ranges and then normalising the result.

One problem with this is that there's no one way to do it. You could argue equally well that the result should be a uniformly random point on the S100 sphere.

What it definitely cannot be is a random point on the [-1,1]^100 cube because if you divide by the greatest absolute value then one of the coefficients will be -1 or 1
Oh interesting. No rebut of specific points or facts, just blanket disagreement?

I think its hard to call a whole article "correct" or "incorrect." This article makes many assumptions, states many things as facts, and yes - makes judgements. For the reasons states above I think the article overstates its case. It's behind the newest reporting by around two years. It misses or completely excludes important details (e.g. range requirements for retransmitter drones).

That doesn't make the article wholey incorrect or worthless. But yeah I think if someone is reading that article they should be aware of its inaccuracy, factual deficits, etc...

Happy to dive into any of the one-by-one points in the GP comment if there's questions or skepticism.
We have on a small scale. Methane is escaping as the permafrost thaws. Boreal forests are also burning down as their climate warms. Reduction in polar ice changes the albedo of the earth to reflect less heat.

At a certain point sufficient warming could trigger a cascade. So far we haven't done that, but it's incorrect to say there's been no release of stored CO2.
What an unbelievably childish response. What does the New York Times have to do with this ad? What makes you think the New York Times is representative of the "average liberal arts pursuit"? Is the New York Times especially antagonistic towards the tech industry? Do you seriously believe there exists some us-versus-them division between "liberal arts" and "technologists"?
Probably because it was run by mathematicians who I assume have no love for managing lots of people.

Combine that with how most the company spend all their time thinking about making money and that's probably why the company never succumbed to bloat
It never counted. You can suggest or advise, but you never had the power to tell Debian what to do. Being loud will not change that, no. You'll have to resort to persuasion.
Ya, Millbrae. I would take the train from San Carlos or the stop in San Mateo across from the mall (if I wanted to take the express-express) and pass this station daily on the way to the city.
"Once you post it its out there" sure... but if you piss off huge portions of the platform, then they have just as much right to now become your enemy and flood your system with worse trash than the AI is capable of.

Great, so how did these companies expect to stab so many people in the back and then continue as if it didnt happen again?

What makes you say that? I wouldn't actually think that's as difficult as many other problems in space exploration. An uncrewed probe is free from a lot of really challenging constraints.
As global policy, there is a very important, optimal amount of food waste: to first order, the xth percentile of uncontrolled variance in harvest size, where x is the percentage of years when we are willing to let some fraction of the population to go hungry.

The one version of their attack requires access to the vehicle. If you already have access to the vehicle, you could just load a different program on it to do your bidding and have it replace itself with the original code once the deed is done. That reminds me of several recent CVEs that begin with "If an attacker has root access on a target system, then ... [series of steps] ... they can gain root access.

paid SaaS features appearing in my language's runtime is... odd.

I remember on launch, Deno specifically did not add backwards compatibility for installing Node.js packages from npm, by design. It was supposed to be a "greenfield" approach to serverside javascript/typescript... buuut then they folded and added npm dependency mgmt to their tooling.

Some of the decisions in Deno feel like the "grow and find ways to monetize" strategy of your average vc-funded tech startup, but instead of being a SaaS it's your whole runtime.

So if you own a house or car then it's distressing to see one destroyed in a movie? Both of those cost much more than a trumpet, and for many people are more personal and unique, but somehow most people manage to keep their eyes on the screen.

It's simply uncomfortable to see a lot of valuable creative tools being slowly destroyed for no reason, especially a piano. I'm not even thinking about the symbolism.

Say you have 1000 pages of content and you want to change the footer or something in the header (suppose Google or Facebook now demand a new meta tag). Do you really want to change all those HTML pages by hand?

Also most web sites have navigation, lots of internal links will help web crawlers find everything and decide that it is important. Are you going to back and change them all by hand whenever you make a change?

> Do any of these sleep researchers have anything to say about France […]

See also Spain:

> Human rhythmicity is subjected to the workings of the internal circadian clock, but it is also influenced by environmental time (mainly the light-dark cycle) and social timing imposed by the official time at our location, as well as by our work schedule. When a misalignment among these times occurs, an internal order impairment appears, which affects our health. Western Spain (GMT+1/+2) and Portugal (GMT0/+1) share similar longitudes (sun time) but have different official times, and thus they provide a “natural experiment” to assess how this discrepancy affects circadian rhythmicity and sleep in people with no work duties (>65 years). Although sleep duration was not affected, the circadian rhythms in the Portuguese were more robust, especially during weekdays, while higher desynchronization tended to occur in the Spaniards. Once official time was corrected by GMT0, meals took place later in Spain than in Portugal, especially as the day progressed, indicating the possible deleterious effect on circadian system robustness when official time is misaligned with its corresponding geographical time zone.

Do they destroy them and continue playing on an iPad?
I don't think this would solve the problem like you hope. Case in point, Netflix has this setup already for streaming video. Tons of small racks all over the world. It's a huge pain to maintain and was only worth it because of the huge difference in customer experience.

And even though they already have it, they still use AWS for all the control plane work, because it's just so much easier administratively. Admining distributed systems in just a few datacenters is hard enough. Doing it across thousands would be many orders of magnitude worse.

Heck, most companies can't even handle two datacenters.
Right but the unstated assumption that there is no other positive path isn’t any more well-supported than the converse. For example, observe the variety of life we have locally. I’m thinking particularly of the various life (or life-like but I digress) that exists in extremes like thermal vents or under-explored places like deep soil. So maybe it does eliminate 1/10 but maybe we forgot to add the other 1/10 for life that wants to
live at 100C (or whatever) — I’m pushing back on your assuredness, not the math.
>normal scientific claims that govern all parts of the rest of the world.

Isn’t is possible that the problem can’t be answered by science? E.g., if their central question is about consciousness, science may not be equipped to answer it. Science is concerned with objective evidence, and the hard problem of conscience deals with subjective experience.
> we can further speculate that said mind is, in turn, affected by certain chemical interactions (approximations of something external to those minds)

Indeed, there is quite a bit of evidence to support this hypothesis.

> and even call the general existence of minds into question

Well, you can call anything into question, but there is quite a bit of evidence for the existence of minds.

> we could treat that chemical reaction as, in turn, derivable from (or be a representation of) mind-states

Well, I suppose we could, but again there is quite a bit of evidence that the causality of that particular mechanism (if I'm understanding you correctly -- you are being pretty imprecise here) runs in the other direction.

> You can see how as far as scientific method is concerned this gets nowhere very quickly

Sorry, no, I don't see that at all. AFAICT the way in which minds arise from chemistry is pretty well understood. In fact, it is sufficiently well understood that we are on the cusp of being able to create artificial minds that are not based on chemistry.

> Naively, it seems that best we could do is 1) acknowledge that uncertainty

Sorry, no, I don't see any uncertainty to acknowledge.

Yes, but I think your attempt has failed.
IF apple said "hey we edited your app because we think its more secure"...

People would have torches and pitchforks out.

But a deb maintainer does it and there is debate?

If there was a security issue then the insecure version should NOT be available. But again this is not the case.

In an App Store world, the role of mainainter has to change. The job is to make the software work with the distro, not keep the name and make some pseudo fork because you want it to be another way.
I'm fully aware. But I'm quoting the article and golf courses don't use a consistent amount of water day to day, so I am trusting readers to do the math.
Yes, but saltwater is very corrosive. Also they were hard to get to. A datacenter in the arctic regions would at least be accessible -- you could build attached housing and heat it with waste heat.
> demand has far outstripped supply for decades

Why has this been the case in every area in our country? Because we have a policy at the national level that encourages speculation and hoarding. The problem is not just supply, we have a national aversion to shaping demand.

> The problem is "solved" in areas that aren't as popular,

The problem is absolutely not solved, in any place in our country[1]. You used to be able to maintain a minimum standard of living on a single wage earner's salary. That is not the case, literally anywhere in this nation any more.
