> right, because companies stealing from the german government is clearly giving giving the nation a competitive advantage.

It obviously is. We are talking about intra-EU advantage, where the same GHG rules apply. If e.g. French industries actually invest in reducing their GHGs instead of using a fraud scheme, isn't that an advantage?

> Calling that a competitive advantage is like saying German companies have a competitive advantage because some have been stealing billions of taxes over the last few years via CumEx.

Also a competitive advantage. If, let's say now, Spain does more rigorous checks for tax fraud than Germany, then their industry growth is comparatively stifled. And did the participating industries get anything more than a slap in the wrist?

German stakeholders pointing each other, and then everybody pointing outside of Germany may work internally, but is not fooling anyone else on the outside. Germany is totally ok to turn a blind eye on eschewing (supposedly) common EU rules when it is to the advantage of their economy.

Hi! Some feed aggregators include the subscriber count in the User-Agent header, so I can pick these counts from the access logs and add them up. This is how the logs look:

[14/Jun/2024:00:03:46 +0000] "GET /feed.xml HTTP/1.1" 304 0 "-" "Feedly/1.0 (+http://www.feedly.com/fetcher.html; 87 subscribers; )"
[14/Jun/2024:00:06:29 +0000] "GET /feed.xml HTTP/1.1" 304 0 "-" "Feedly/1.0 (+http://www.feedly.com/fetcher.html; 34 subscribers; )"
[14/Jun/2024:00:09:31 +0000] "GET /feed.xml HTTP/1.1" 304 0 "-" "Feedly/1.0 (+http://www.feedly.com/fetcher.html; 31 subscribers; )"
[14/Jun/2024:00:16:36 +0000] "GET /feed.xml HTTP/1.1" 304 0 "-" "Feedbin feed-id:2815708 - 3 subscribers"
[14/Jun/2024:00:29:42 +0000] "GET /feed.xml HTTP/1.1" 304 0 "-" "Feedbin feed-id:2330316 - 3 subscribers"
[14/Jun/2024:00:40:58 +0000] "GET /feed.xml HTTP/1.1" 304 0 "-" "Feedbin feed-id:1714691 - 8 subscribers"
[14/Jun/2024:01:21:01 +0000] "GET /feed.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 188077 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; BazQux/2.4; +https://bazqux.com/fetcher; 5 subscribers)"
[14/Jun/2024:01:44:21 +0000] "GET /feed.xml HTTP/1.1" 304 0 "https://susam.net/" "Inoreader/1.0 (+http://www.inoreader.com/feed-fetcher; 24 subscribers; )"

Picking a few days of logs where the subscriber count has not changed much, I get a rough estimate of the total count of subscribers reported by the feed readers like this:

$ for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do echo $(head -n 1 access.log.$i | grep -o '../.../....') $(awk -F'"' '{print $6}' access.log.$i | sort -u | grep -o '[0-9]* subscribers' | awk '{s += $1} END {print s}'); done

In case anyone is wondering why we see multiple entries for Feedly and Feedbin in the first log snippet, that's because in an older design of my website, I had multiple sections each serving its own feed at paths like /blog/feed.xml, /maze/feed.xml, etc. Later I consolidated all of them into a unified feed at /feed.xml. So the feed readers still hit the old feed URLs and then get redirected to the unified feed URL.
Glad to see there's some traction on moving away from smartphones. While the devices themselves are ostensibly neutral, so many of their apps and features are designed to maximize engagement with myriad dark patterns.

Then again, maybe it's better if everyone spends 100% of their free time repeatedly checking for new Reels™ on Instagram. You never know, there might be a good one this time.
Have you ever worked in a language where pretty much everything is immutable AND you have a very powerful static typesystem though? (so not Java and also not Rust).

If not, maybe it's hard to understand where I come from. On top of that, people are different. Maybe Elixir is the right thing for you, but still not for me as I'm more prone to typos and such kind of small errors.

> everyone writing their own unsafe vec implementation in C or C++

No one does that in C++, people use std::vector

> I'm sure GNU's libstdc++, LLVM's libc++, and whatever Microsoft calls their C++ stdlib have had a laundry list of security bugs in their implementations

True, C++ shares that thing with Rust. However, C# doesn’t. Their standard library is implemented in memory-safe code. Here’s the equivalent of std::vector, BTW https://source.dot.net/#System.Private.CoreLib/src/libraries...

Admittedly, it’s not too important for standard libraries because most bugs already found and fixed by other people. Still, very important when designing custom data structures.

> You really can't compare a GC'd language to Rust (or C or C++), at least not without acknowledging the inherent tradeoffs being made

For most use cases these tradeoffs are not that bad, especially with modern .NET. I have great experience using .NET Core on 32-bit ARMv7 embedded Linux (not a hobby project, a commercially available equipment), with touch screen GUI and networking. Another example, here’s a library implementing a subset of ffmpeg for ARM Linux in memory-safe C#: https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac/tree/master/VrmacVideo
In my own logs, the ones that show are Feedly, Inoreader, Newsblur, Feedbin, The Old Reader, and a few small/personal ones.

Of course, they only show the subscriber count for their own platform. And then you can also pool together all the separate requests fetching /feed/ and add it all up.

Hyperbole is by definition false, its use illustrates nothing beyond the speaker's willingness to stretch the truth.

In this case, to make political claims. Ought we organise our societies on the basis of political claims 'illustrated' by bombastic falsehoods?
For almost any task you can choose something that’s easy to install (maybe a web app!), has lots of features, but is slow. But you can usually opt for something extremely snappy and bare bones. Software is all about tradeoffs but there is choice.

Reference Platform Architecture
We are a startup studio and we naturally wanted to build repeatable processes to jumpstart new products. We wanted to pick and choose a bunch of technologies that we good become good at and ones that could cover several use cases.

Today, we are releasing VRPA - our reference platform architecture, which is a battle hardened best practices and technology components which helps jumpstart new products very quickly.

Our existing boilerplates combined with skills that we have built over the years help us setup new platforms in a matter of days. We are now putting our platform architecture out there for everyone to see. We’d love to hear comments and suggestions.

One of the great things of the last ~25 years is the small n in regards to commercial aircraft fatalities. This report is dated 2015 but I wonder if it would be any different a decade later. In the prior 50 years, plane crashes were, maybe not common, but something you’d read about every month or so.

The only emergency landing I’ve been in where the crew briefed us on position and checked us was hands on the back of the seat in front. Luckily it wasn’t a crash and the fire was quickly contained on the ground. Turned out the shoe removal was the most inconvenient but perhaps the most useful (evacuation slides worked, but then we were on hot tarmac without shoes).

What astonished me the most was how everybody went along and didn’t complain. This was almost 35 years ago —- I wonder if that would still be the case. These days I have seen pictures of people sliding down the evacuation slides with hand luggage!
As an aside, since hover doesn't work with touchscreens (phones and tablets), it might be useful to have a typographic note next to the bibkey that shows/hides the popup on touch. What's a good note to use?

> But nobody made the “laws” that the U.S. pretends to enforce on the international stage.

You're setting the bar pretty high. Some "law" simply evolves, by custom and practice, without any formal enactment by anyone. One example that comes to mind is (maritime) anti-piracy law.

Keep in mind that, unless I'm very much mistaken, American extraterritorial law is fundamentally grounded on, "if you want access to our country, financial system, etc., then you gotta follow our rules — and not necessarily just while you're within our geographic borders. You pays your money and you takes your choice."

BTW, the U.S. didn't invade Rwanda at all, to save the Tutsis or otherwise.

The example of "Clu" in TRON: Legacy is a bad example. In the movie they are inside a simulation and everybody besides the real humans do look a bit off, on purpose. So 3D generated young Jeff Bridges fits perfectly. It does add to the movie that they look "not completely real".

> Rural areas are not more "natural" (as in free from human influence) than cities.

Yes, we have very little left of the primary forest that predated human colonisation over much of the British Isles. Areas that we now perceive as wild countryside are usually anything but. One example is those moorland uplands which (in Scotland) were the result of enforced clearances [0] between 1750 and 1850 and which are now often optimised for grouse shooting. The New Forest, my closest national park, is essentially William the Conqueror's hunting estate and where land use and ownership been very tightly controlled since then.

Ah I think this is bullshit to be honest.

I’ve worked for dozens of organisations in my career. Large and small, competent and not. Usually not.

In that time did I make some ‘ethically correct’ choice to leave an enormous organisation because some other part of that organisation did something that wasn’t ethically perfect?

Never. Not one time.

And I’m an ethical person. I consider this stuff deeply. Here I am bothering to have this conversation with you.

But, what, every person who has an interesting job doing good things — remember, we’re talking about engineers developing a new audio codec — so those people who have interesting jobs doing good things with a great team are expected to look over there to some distant part of the org, to teams they’re barely aware of, let alone have spoken to, and they’re expected to quit their jobs because of the ‘ethically dubious’ stuff going on over there?

Sorry. Unrealistic, idealistic bullshit. I’ve never done it and neither have you.
I'm sure you've comprehended this, but it's not obvious from your snippet: .org (Initiative) launched .net to continue the work of .com, which had been Red Hat's pet project since its inception.

And if I may add a bit of an "insider" insight, Red Hat used to fund it decently. I volunteered for a while, got plenty of swag and they even offered me an all-expenses-paid trip to Raleigh (Red Hat's HQ) for some sort of a community meetup. As a college student from a not particularly developed country, being treated that way by a company as large as Red Hat felt very motivating. Unfortunately in my particular case, US embassy said no.

Why does SOTA matter here? OpenAI has actually failed already to make something useful and mass-market. After all these years of pushing SOTA, it's still a website with a text box. Siri in its current form is more useful to me than ChatGPT 4. You simply don't need SOTA models for a lot of valuable features; you need context, annotation APIs, and the right platform and integrations to assist users where they already are (on their phones, in cars, in their IDE, etc). MSFT's GitHub copilot is a good example of getting it right.

Apple relegated ChatGPT to a 3rd tier AI capability for "google answers", and "write me a poem" party tricks, and rightfully put it behind a privacy disclaimer. It looks barely better than the various ChatGPT shortcuts so many people have cobbled together. That part of the announcement stuck out like a sore thumb and looked to me like a huge L for OpenAI. The "partnership" was a nothingburger. Like someone at Apple agreed to it early on but then late in the project realized it wasn't needed at all. So much for SOTA.

> If you won't trust in the state parentally taking from some and giving to others

That's not how it works. The state is tasked with keeping the public good - such as basic infrastructure. "Parentally (...) giving to others" imply that the government taxes your money to do welfare only (and you implied it in a derogatory manner for that matter, which shows your inclinations).

Welfare is important, but not the only function of a government.

> nor trust in people making transactions between each other on what they find valuable

Those should absolutely be regulated and taxed. "people making transactions between each other on what they find valuable" are looking only for their private benefit, society be damned.
You haven’t addressed the elephant in the room: housing.

Housing costs have risen to match the switch to double income households. Now instead of 1, it takes 2 incomes just to be able to afford housing. This makes the family more brittle since if either parent loses their job both will lose the house.

And with the rise in housing costs people move further afield. Commuting times go way up and people waste more time in the car or on the train. Everybody ends up more stressed than ever before and further behind economically (compared to those whose wealth grows without working).

I don't see how this is relevant to whether the state is synonymous with the population of a country.

I don't consider "inferior" to be "I don't have a Porsche and they do". Or even "I can't force taxpayers to pay for a $10m operation and followup treatment and someone else can afford it out of the value they've created", which I think is what you're thinking I should say.

Is that what you're saying? Happy to discuss, but you seem to be talking in emotive language rather than speaking plainly, and I'm just trying to get at the a plain description of what you mean.
This looks nice for a single query, but, like basically all the previous discussion around this, he skips over the case where you might need to kickoff fetching of dependent data.

So in your loader, you would have to fetch the data, transform it, extract a key for the second query and then prefetch that.

...and in your component you would have to do the exact thing again, except you probably have to write the transformation logic twice, because hooks don't compose well with promises.

Of course you might say that dependent queries are a bad practice anyways, but in the real world this happens quite a lot.

To be clear, Suspense was always bad at this. To my knowledge, there was never a good way to combine SWR and lazy fetching with Suspense. You may or may not have been lucky, if your queries mapped well to the component tree.

I would like to see a solution from either React-Router or Tanstack-Query, but both of them prefer discussing the problem away.
A few seats could be left facing forward, for people who would feel sick, but backward facing probably should be default.

Also the load would be more evenly distributed across the whole body.

>If almost every business that wants to do AI needs to buy Nvidia hardware, their sales will go through the roof.

This will undoubtably prove to be temporary.

>It is very unlikely that Apple will sell their “server” hardware to other businesses in that way.

The point is Nvidia isn't required.
The reason is because people have stopped buying iPhones every year. Apple has been priced like a growth stock for a very long time but their revenues have stopped growing! (Seriously, look at their earnings reports)

Now compare to Nvidia, their stock has been on an AI related run because their revenues have been MASSIVELY increasing over the past year, because they sell the most advanced chips for training and inferencing the most complex models.

Apple may be “doing AI” now, but it’s for consumer products, they’re not selling enterprise AI services nor are they selling the actual chips needed to train and inference.

Also, I have major doubts as to whether any of the Apple AI announcements are going to drive higher iPhone sales. There will be tech evangelists who buy a new iPhone for the AI features but the bulk of users are folk like my parents, who use their phone for calling, messaging, and taking photos. The only thing they ever noticed with new phones was either it was:

1: better camera

2: better/bigger screen

3: really obviously faster

The last few phones have been indistinguishable in terms of screen, performance, or camera, and my own personal
