No. Not even close. The problem is that it ships with the OS.

When Apple shipped Airtag and we said it's a fantastic tool for stalkers people said "but this is not new, there are other similar tools blah blah blah". Doesn't matter one whit. It's an Apple product, in accessibility and awareness it's so far above the rest it's not even funny.

Who cares that Rewind.ai exists? The chances of an abusive husband finding and installing that is incredibly low. Because of that, no one howled when it was released. But the chances of the same man click MS Recall on? waaaaaaay higher.

It's possible shipping with default off might clear the GDPR but that doesn't matter either, alas.

> the servility expressed by so many other digital assistants projected as young women – provides a powerful illustration of gender biases coded into technology products, pervasive in the technology sector and apparent in digital skills education.

> Today, women and girls are 25 per cent less likely than men to know how to leverage digital technology for basic purposes, 4 times less likely to know how to programme computers and 13 times less likely to file for a technology patent

of course a product will arise which prominently hurts women simply because there are not enough women around the table to say "don't do this".
And Bibi supported and kept Hamas in power so Israeli society could labor under the delusion that keeping Palestinians out of sight and out of mind was a viable plan. Until it wasn’t.

He’s been elected again and again, and has been steadfast in preventing self governance from ever taking hold. To the degree Israel is a “democracy” it is because there is voter consensus that there can be no Palestinian self rule.
He didn't forget it, he just didn't imagine it could be necessary for any reader but here we are.
Wiki says:

> In August 2013, Carmack indicated that following the crash of the STIG-B rocket earlier that year, he had wound down the company operations and had put the company in "hibernation mode."

Yeah seems like with our current physics, almost everything can be cheated out, except mass and gravity. There's no other solid Earth-sized mass now other than Venus so it may be our only real potential second home.
Hyperloop? The Boring Company? The founding myth of Tesla? Is it really controversial to observe the Elon has a very flexible relationship with facts?

He made some good choices with Tesla. And some boneheaded ones. And SpaceX is a great example of success, because he made a really great decision there -- he hired Gwynne Shotwell. Then there's Twitter. Which is less about overt lies and more about gross incompetence. I think being a billionaire might have gone to his head and made him think he could only be successful.
Excessive hubris around solving hardware problems in software, they blew up their rocket and ran out of money as Carmack couldn’t justify it any longer: https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/82qkvl/john_carmack_...
I don't work on gVisor anymore. That said, I think it would be a tough sell. It would be a pretty big breaking change. Also, there is already a problem with people trying to send patches against the go branch and making it the default would make that much worse.

I think the solution is an automatically exported repository at a different path. Kind of (or maybe exactly) like what Tailscale/bradfitz used to maintain.

Oh so the problem is OP and not the Chinese government then.
For off planet research: because ( https://xkcd.com/695/ aside ) we don't care if the robots "die". Human space exploration has an enormous amount of overhead to keeping the humans alive at all; even the sensors humans bring with them are compromised by having to be operable in a spacesuit.

Not saying that there isn't value to sending humans into space - it's just that that value isn't in gathering data for science, other than on the astronaut-subjects themselves.
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/MoltenVK proves that it is possible, but it is limited by having to go through Metal.
I’ve also been wary of orjson considering ijl is anonymous and the only one authoring commits. Any ideas on if security folks are checking repository artifacts and verifying builds for projects like this?
If they ever finish the people mover they could probably make pickups/dropoffs work pretty easily. Them trying to make it work driving into the terminal though, that's gonna be rough.
It also makes sense to continue diversifying away from ads and generative AI.
It could be that you happened to find a period of rapid change, but it is also possible that you ran into the issue that raggi mentioned in the sibling comment.
This (apparently) innocent joke shouldn't be even allowed. It is assumed that you need to be granted the US citizen first to opt to some government positions.

AI can't have citizenship by definition. In the same way as a bike made in US can't enjoy the same rights as a child born in US. So would set a backdoor for private companies to hijack the rights to manage the funds of entire cities.

Even more, if US citizenship is not needed anymore anybody could use this as a magic carpet to jump over immigration rules. Could run for mayor while sitting at their home in Latvia or Sudan. If elected couldn't work or live in US legally. Government would need to grant a lightning fast Visa or the position would remain empty but blocked four years. and if they do it the frontiers would collapse in two months.
I’ve thought about this for other things but never foosball. It’s actually a great application.
I agree that sounds like the right thing to do, however it would become a howitzer-sized footgun wielded for ideological purposes. I don’t at all trust enough of our leaders to not break the country, then “fix” it, break again, thrashing. 14th amendment right out the window on day two :)
I'm spoiled, as I worked for 2-3 years at Google, and coming from gamedev - I was wtf is this thing, then when I quit I started missing it.

I've used with Java, Python, some C++, some R, bash, sawzall and few other langs. The beauty of it is that it can express dependencies across things from different languages (where this makes sense). Another cool thing (for Java) and FFI C/C++ code is that it can build custom java runner that embeds everything in single binary. So your FFI C/C++ code and the Java code becomes one binary.

But basically you can say - in order to build this, you also need to build this in a single language.

On top of that you can express tests too. And then it knew how to take/combine unit tests of same "size" and shard them to execute across machines.

And because you have to size your tests (e.g. RAM / CPU wise), it knows which to pick, and if your test does not fall anymore in that category it'll tell you to fix it. Might even offer command-line (nowadayws buildozer command-line) how to fix it. (That was ~2014-2016)

Then for C++ (and other langs) it'll track whether you've specified your header deps. To think about it, let's say you've said - here is a.cpp and a.cpp includes a.h - but forgot about adding explicitly a.h - Bazel (blaze) can catch that. One of the ways is simply to "symlink" only explicitly placed files in random temp folder, and compile from there - so "a.cpp" won't find "a.h" there and it'll tell - "Here run this command to add a.h to your target".

so actually quite the opposite - you want build system that unites all these different languages/runtimes/environments.

Not like - python/pip rust/cargo dotnet/nuget javascript/npm java/maven - because with each such different language specific build layer you lose how to express depedencies between them.

And not only that - in bazel deps are static, e.g. with a.h missing explicitly in your BUILD file, and bazel would tell you that. In the examples above is healthy mix of everything - from dynamic discovery to who knows what.

Then again, I get it - it's not the easiest to get through, the .bzl is dark magic sometimes, but the BUILD files should be easy to use to anyone - engineer, linguist, statistician, producers, tech art, etc.
It’s understood to be quite damaging to wildlife, hence one of the reasons why it is used to rarely.
I think it's just more that Carmack didn't want to go all in with his entire life and net worth the way Elon did (and without which SpaceX would certainly have died exactly the same death). And who can blame him?
Power costs a ton.

Like more than you can imagine.

A Metlij just at cruise power, not even max, will drink 60-70 gallons per hour.

Avgas is $7/gal, and also not even high enough octane for a Merlin.

You’d be at $500/hr just in gas.

It's a fun toy/tool. Cool to see AI progressing. As a musician who does spend hours making music by hand this has instantly widened my artistic vision by being able to drop in a few ideas to see what comes out. Handmade music will still be around.
Untested but something like this in VBA should suffice:

Dim rng as range: set rng = Sheet1.UsedRange
Dim rows as Long: rows = rng.rows.count
Dim cols as long: cols = rng.columns.count
Const SIZE as long = 500
For i = 2 to rows step SIZE
Dim wb as workbook: set wb = workbooks.add()
wb.sheets(1).range("A1").resize(1, cols).value = rng.resize(1).value
wb.sheets(1).range("A2").resize(SIZE,cols).value = rng.offset(i-1).resize(SIZE).value
Call wb.SaveAs("C:\Temp\" & i & ".xlsx")
next

After a hard reset my phone requires that a Samsung or Google account that was previously signed in on the phone be used to gain access.

> Reuters spoke to seven former NewsBreak employees, including five who said most of the engineering work behind the app's algorithm is carried out in its China-based offices.

> NewsBreak is a privately held start-up, whose primary backers are private equity firms San Francisco-based Francisco Partners, and Beijing-based IDG Capital, NewsBreak told Reuters.

> In February, IDG Capital was added to a list of dozens of Chinese companies the Pentagon said were allegedly working with Beijing's military.

> A 2022 company roster reviewed by Reuters showed that 100 of NewsBreak's 137 engineers at the time were based in China.

> Pearlstine, the former NewsBreak consultant, said NewsBreak's ability to demonstrate it is a U.S. company was critical. "The long term health of NewsBreak was dependent on its being perceived as a California company and that the more the leadership was in Mountain View, the better it would be for the company," he said.

First, this is what happens when moderation is removed from Twitter [1]. So Dom Lucre was in possession of CSAM that would literally land anyone else in jail for the mere possession of it (fuelling the rumors he is an FBI informant), watermarked it, posted it on Twitter and it was for for days.

That's who Elon unbanned.

Now if you've bought into the lie that Elon is a free speech absolutist, which he absolutely is not, you might consider that a good thing. Now take a look at a partial list of Twitter accounts Elon has banned [2]. This includes many journalists and a guy posting where his private plane is (from public information), many of whom were banned for simply hurting his feelings or calling out one of his lies.

Hey, happy to clear up the confusion! The software is similar to a CRM in that we message users/customers, though we don’t track things like the stage of a sales deal.

Our software and competitors like Braze are typically used in situations where you can’t have a personal connection, but still need to message users, often when they complete specific actions in your application, or if you want to send one-off promotions for example. E-commerce brands or a banking app might use us for example.

We do support replacement variables like you mentioned and are adding integrations actively.

Funny, the rules that would stop illegal immigration aren't enforced (sever punishment for those providing the job that are encouraging it), but the laws that create a perpetual underclass/powerless class are enforced just enough to keep that class in check (but not enforced enough to prevent the existence of a major source of exploitable labour).

This rings true but in Elon's defense:

- None of the markets he participates in could ever truly be free markets no matter what due to their very high (and necessarily high) capital requirements. It's not like other tech companies which use government money to monopolize markets that have low entry barriers and end up messing with millions of little guys who think they're operating in a free market... Then it takes a decade for them to learn that they actually had 0 chance of ever competing in that market due to asymmetries in margins caused by gov subsidies.

- He consistently gave the government value for money. If his companies weren't there, the government would have spent the same amount of money (or more) and obtained worse results.
No.

In IPv6, you can get an address using RA. DHCPv6 only if you want to smuggle some unrelated metadata as options (which, of course, not widely used outside enterprise).
DHCPv6-PD are used only when you need a whole prefix.

If everybody implement all the specs out there, we will have two different DNS record type, 4 or 5 address allocation schemes, a handful of IPv6-over-IPv4 protocol, whole a lots of incomplete and incompatible IPv4-ovr-IPv6 protocol.... Etc... while telling everybody ipv6 is simple and ask why we haven't got there yet

No doubt, but Tesla would not be where it is today without Musk's deceptive marketing, stock manipulation, disregard for labor laws, and just generally acting like he's above the law. One can admire the products he's had a hand in building without admiring the man himself. And the moment he got involved in politics it was inevitable that people would distance themselves from him.

“attention to detail [was] heightened while menstruating.” Yeah, well. Duh. That tracks.
Yeah, I won't argue that there aren't some domains where you have soft real-time requirements, and need the language to allow you to do things like that. Reddit's app server isn't that, though.

Separately, my gut feeling is that in 2024, programming language runtime technology is advanced enough that manually reusing buffers isn't necessarily a good use of hours-spent-optimizing. To pick on Python in particular, it _does_ actually reuse buffers when they only have a single owner; more languages might get this in the future via the Perceus refcounting work?
While I have the same wonder as everybody else about the universe, the way Musk talks about going to Mars always seemed like he just wants to leave by any means necessary instead of making Earth liveable, even if it's to a planet that's less habitable than the north pole.

It's difficult to argue against the new space race, because it is moving us forward, but to me it has the same vibes as when billionaires fund universities as their charity work instead of helping people here and now. Technically it's good for the future of humanity, but at the same time we're perpetually stuck in exploiting people for cheap labour, and then investing in future generations that will also be exploited and feel miserable, but they'll have an iPhone.
Is there? Every time I've looked into this the numbers don't tell that story.

What we do see is landlords (corporate and private) taking things off the market on purpose to keep prices up, in addition to the collusion this thread is actively talking about.

I honestly find the skepticism about human activities in space to be annoying. And it's been going on for many decades.

A lot of people seem to be automatically skeptical about space. They somehow think that investing in space is taking away from investing in the planet Earth. I disagree with that premise.

I think we can do both. And we should do both.

Colonizing the Moon or Mars will actually require significant understanding of Earth ecology. We still have lots to learn from Earth.

I work in a restricted environment where I can't install or-tools. In order to solve our scheduling problem, I wrote a solution in Prolog that runs in a purely web-based "notebook" environment. It works well and has the benefit that non-technical users only have to deal with specifying simple "facts", then running a pre-defined query.

I also have access to Google's OR API as a trusted tester and have been toying with the solveShiftScheduling endpoint. Out of the box, I don't think I'll be able to easily represent some of our constraints to work with the API. Also, our management frequently want to change the scheduling behavior, so while I can reformulate the problem to make it work with the API now, I never know what's coming down the pipe.
