These features are all sage advice for any blog in my opinion, and this blog is a good example of one that is easy to follow as a result.

Regarding the Table of Contents feature, however, I believe this makes a big difference in larger blogs, but for medium sized or smaller blogs, it can be a distractor. I use Hugo as well for compositing my site, and find that using ample first level headings (e.g., # Heading name) for major components alongside a solid flow that contains visual graphics placed shortly after the heading offers an attractive and easy-to-navigate browsing experience.
Okay after looking at it on my computer:

- OpenGraph data somehow is for https://claros.so an "AI Shopper"

- It uses nextjs and tailwindcss

- The model says it is GPT-4, but you'll never know if that's true

- LLM B seems to be instructed to 'argue against the topic'

As a Canadian, whose country appears on these lists: yeah, sure.
As a licenced professional engineer, I disagree. The whole value of my licence is that I have the power to take responsibility for my work. If you strip me of that power by making excuses for irresponsible engineers, it errodes the value of a responsible professional.
Two weeks ago a large oil refinery in Irbil (northern Iraq) caught on fire, injuring 14 people with burns and smoke inhalation [1].

This is regrettable. I feel sorry for the people, and their families, who have been injured and killed in these accidents. Industrial activities are dangerous. We should recognize this. We do these activities because we want energy. This is news because battery factories are new, whereas other forms of energy have been around for over a hundred years. An oil refinery catching on fire may make the news, but it won’t get sensationalized or be editorialized as signs of a worrying new trend.

> It's also the case that vapes are entirely a waste of resources no matter how you cut it. There's no good reason they should exist, and so even the smallest amount of waste is still a negative.

I'm confused - do you think that coffee is also entirely a waste of resources? Pretty clearly, many people like stimulants. And vapes seem like a better, although not harm free, version of cigarettes.
Sorry but that's an asinine reply. The people looking for the support are busy doing something and looking to pay a company for the support. If they had the time to volunteer for support, they wouldn't be looking for support themselves. You're the one touting Debian out of nowhere, you can't ask the people you're talking to, to volunteer to make your point better.
Hats or Bombs? You decide. The AI doesn't have the ability to do so.
> MIFARE is a stored-value service and as such keeps track of the card's balance on-chip. This requires another smartcard on the reader side, holding the necessary keys for mutual authentication, but allows two-sided offline transactions, which is quite useful for transit applications (e.g. buses dropping out of network coverage, allowing higher volumes even during short server outages etc.)

MIFARE cards are used in all kinds of applications and not all of them require the reader to authenticate itself. And even in authenticated uses the keys don't neccessarily need to be stored in a smartcard (SAM) depending on the security requirements. For the simpler MIFARE cards a secure enclave for the keys doesn't even provide any additional security since they key is transmitted to the card anyway - and the simplest ones don't have any authentication at all.
Gotta start somewhere, going for the Trillion dollar behemoth is a good first step, in my opinion.

And let's not forget that this standard is a de facto standard, not a regulatory one. Just because things have been done in this way, it doesn't mean they should remain like this forever.

The EU is one of the few parties which can actually bring some change.
OP is simply stating a fact. US MIC and Israel have been in a deep embrace. Nothing was said by OP by "driving the ills of the world". Yours is a tactic to prevent even simple statements of facts if it is against your 'perceived' "collective interest" of a minority.

I am interested in learning more on why IDF has deep ties to Boeing. Such a small country, how is it that it has captured so many behemoths. Should we just ignore this rather strange structural phenomena in geopolitics and national interest (speaking as an American here ..)?

In fact the entire world is curious to know exactly who is the premier "ally" in this strange US-Israel alliance. Who is the boss, an inquiring American wants to learn.

Recently we had issues with RH 9 not having header packages for openssl 1.1 (which means e.g. you can't have erlang < 25). There's a potential for breakage for anything that is 3+ years old.
> Have they ever specified any reason why they prevent users from finding this out?

They haven't (and obviously won't), but the intent is clearly to eliminate any criticism of Apple from within apps, while also making sure that there aren't any "leaks" in the system from which money could escape that they want their fingers on.

It's true that drones have rather specific lithium batteries - the foils are thicker so the batteries can be charged and discharged faster than eg. mobile phone batteries.

However, any lithium battery plant could, within a matter of days, be reconfigured to make drone-suitable batteries.

Also, currently drones use a tiny proportion of the worlds battery production capacity. EV's and consumer electronics use vastly more. This capacity could easily be redirected.

So attacking the battery production capacity as a way to limit the enemies drone production doesn't seem like the smart move.
Gotcha! ;)
What an inside out reasoning
How would it play out? A scenario is that I could buy an iPhone for 1000 Euro, use it for one year, return it, get my 1k back and use it to buy a newer model. Basically they would be working for free or they'd have to increase the price of 1k per year, with huge discounts for whoever swaps an Android for an iPhone.
>There are already relatively large EV battery recycling operations up and running. There are already businesses repurposing old EV battery packs for stationary energy storage.

These businesses are nascent, with unproven scale and business models. They might work. We want them to work. But we are a long way from saying "this is happening".
We have a couple of 4U8N Supermicro "fat twins" hooked to a Miktrotik CRS17 (10 GbE). Each node has 6 drive bays – to simplify things, we have installed similar capacity drives and use ZFS raidz2. 7 nodes out of 8 are production, and the last node is staging. Each node runs 2x older v4 Xeons (to a total of 64 virtual cores per node), with 256G RAM. This cost us about US$8k upfront per server, the chassis were decommissioned 2nd hand (looked nice), 2nd hand CPUs, and everything else new. We pay around US$2k for unmetered 30M colocation in Shanghai. In EU/US it must be cheaper and faster.

We provisioned the servers by hand, just installing Proxmox on each of them by hand. Proxmox is nice because it has ZFS root support out of the box without any magic. All other Proxmox services are disabled.

After that we have installed K3s on it via Ansible, with each node being both master and worker. There's no need for separation unless you have some really write heavy workloads that will throttle etcd and cause split brain.

On top of K3s we have three types of workloads:

- stateless workloads, or workloads with volumes from ConfigMaps or Secrets,

- stateful highly available workloads where HA is managed by application (Postgres, Redis...),

- stateful single unit workloads.

For HA workloads we use ZFS directly via openebs-zfs CSI driver, this ties workload to nodes, but since HA is managed by application, and we do minimum 5 or 7 nodes, we can usually easily turn a node off for maintenance and reseed the workload on another node. Most Helm charts will have this functionality built-in (e.g. Postgres has Patroni).

For stateful non-HA workloads (e.g. our knowledgebase) we use Longhorn on top of zvol formatted in ext4. Longhorn gives us nice backups to any S3-compatible storage, plus durability. We usually go with 5 replicas, or with 3 for less important workloads.

It worked nicely like this for a few years and survived several minor faults. Failing node is drained and replaced without any drama.

We mostly use Helm charts for applications, Bitnami for Redis and other things, TimescaleDB's chart for Postgres, own charts for our applications. Before rolling out to production we test on the staging machines. Of course, it's not the same, but close enough.

For dev we use k3d, which is multi-node K3s on top of Docker.
Confirm. Got myself an AtariST 520STM with 124SM, that small BW 11inch thingy.
Upgraded the RAM by self soldering. The PCs at the time were either much more expensive, or cheap clone trash with many compromises. And in general rather 'unsexy'. That thing lasted until somewhere in the mid-nineties, when I got weak and got a 486DX 25Mhz with 4MB RAM, some HDD, and a 15" Multisync when VOBIS advertised them for only 5000,- Deutschmarks. Which seemed indeed cheap, because anything comparable from the likes of IBM, Compaq, Zenith was between 15.000 to 20.000 at the time. Seemed because 4MB wasn't good enough for early BSD and Linux, so upgrade to 8MB. Oh, the sockets for L2-Cache on the mainboard and Tag-Ram were empty, another 'upgrade', at least no soldering necessary. Came with some cheap Trident SVGA with only 256KB Video Ram. Diamond Speedstar24 with Tseng ET4000 and 2MB please! And a 17" NEC Multisync while I'm at it. Sigh!

That still felt like a downgrade from that Atari ST in many aspects. Usability? DOS? Early Windows? Unix clones? UGH!

Sure, it had some oomph, but the ride wasn't smooth.

Some of us are forced by edict/policy to RHEL-only. I'm doing work for a client whose IT dept requires it, because it's all they 'support'.

Their 'support' largely consists of

a) giving ridiculously small and unchangeable /home and /usr partition sizes,

b) randomly logging in at unannounced times to add more logging and monitoring tools in to /home and /usr (then rebooting, also unannounced),

c) sending sporadic emails telling us to clean up our system because we are dangerously low on drive space in /home and /usr.

Got a message the other day stating that they power down our machine in 2 days unless we freed up drive space because 'low drive space can impact system availability and security'. Powering it down also impacts availability, but that point seemed lost on them.

EDIT: Realizing now that ... our RHEL 7 will expire at end of month. We've had 0 communication from them about this. Annoyed because when I'd requested this machine back in 2021, asking for RHEL 8, I was told "we don't officially support that", and now we're going in to EOL territory because of RHEL 7. I'm expecting an "hair on fire" email in early July indicating our machines will be shut down shortly without an immediate upgrade, that we will be forced to do ourselves (because upgrades fall outside 'support').
> bootstrap the initial KGs from existing LLMs

LLMs generate responses based on statistical probabilities derived from their training data. They do not inherently understand or store an "absolute source of truth." Thus, any KG bootstrapped from an LLM might inherit not only the model's insights but also its inaccuracies and biases (hallucinations). You need to understand that these hallucinations are not errors of logic but they are artifacts of the model's training on vast, diverse datasets and reflect the statistical patterns in that data.

Maybe you could build retrieval model but not generative model.
“So they don’t have to experience insects whatsoever”

You don’t live in an area where mosquitoes are a problem, do you? They can get so bad that you simply don’t want to go outside because you’ll have multiple biting you at any given moment. So yes, there is a benefit to consumers spraying for mosquitoes: those consumers can now enjoy their yards! A treatment of Bifenthrin every few months, and the mosquito problem is greatly reduced.

I don’t disagree with the point of your comment, though.
Neat, although some of them are actually helpful for specific articles. One thing that I actually seen as a pattern is over engineering the blog so much that features need maintenance.
It's a bit like the electricity or water, at some point tech gets integrated into a functioning society and creates serious social problems when those are not available/working in malicious ways and as a result governments create regulations around it to prevent abuse.

It would suck if your electricity provider one day decides that you will need to change all your electronics because they are switching to another frequency and offering you a package for the switch that costs just below the cost of moving away or building alternative sources. It would also suck if for example your telefon company stops connecting your calls upon the payment of your employer who suspects that you might be looking for another job and taking interviews.

So, no one has to create a telephone company or an electricity company as if they are charity, it's just that if they want to do it, they need to do it within the ruleset of the regulator.
I don’t know if it’s a feature, but a summary/tldr/abstract at the top is imo better even than TOC. Not only are to-the-point abstracts amazing for the reader, but also for the writer. Oftentimes when you can’t summarize properly, it’s because the article isn’t focused and needs rework.
To be fair, if you develop the app yourself you can install it on your iPhone without any problem, you connect your phone and install it through Xcode.
The concept of semantic entropy reminds me of a bank, whose name I can't remember, that, in the aftermath of the Enron catastrophe, did make a "bullshitometer" to measure the level of bullshit in press-releases. In that case, they applied it to the Enron press releases before the company's implosion and showed it could have predicted the collapse.
To pick up your example, it is more like getting the driver license with only the theorical written test, and only thereafter drive a car for the very first time on the road with the newly received license.

Yes, we should be open minded, and the tools should also be improved so that developers on the trenches bother to learn and use them.

Do many people even use electric shavers wet? That just seems like a bad idea to me - you want the hairs to be as stiff as possible, and getting them wet does the opposite.

I know some of them are advertised that way, so I guess some people do it. But it just seems weird to me.

Blade based razors make sense to shave wet with - you're typically using some sort of foam to keep the hairs elevated. But I've never heard of anyone using shaving cream with an electric.
Thanks, you are much more accepting of these failure modes than me, that is for sure!

For a clock on an always-powered device to be unable to keep track of time just speaks of embarrassingly bad design to me. The available state to reconcile is just not that complex, even with networked time thrown in. Not to mention it is a protected feature that most other applications cannot manipulate anyway.

Sophos & Tableau probably fall in the crap software bucket too, but thankfully I'm not obliged to use them.

My default mode is to vote with my wallet, but with OSes our choices are sadly more limited, less avoidable, and have a much greater impact when they break basic features, so I want to hold them a higher standard. The whole reason I run Mac & not Linux is to save time with something turn-key, but when it's still an unstable platform moving beneath you it might be time to contemplate the full-time switch!

This is wrong. These pages are immutable with no state. If by chance you accidentally hit an arrow key on one of the rare long form pages with scroll, sure you lose about 50 milliseconds of time getting back to your prior scroll level. In years of doing this not a single person has ever complained, while instead a number have commented that they like it.
The anchor symbol can have JavaScript that copies the link to clipboard on click. And the heading can be a plain old link to itself. Gives a nice visual and interaction for desktop while providing a way for mobile users to get the link too (long-press the heading and copy link).
Yes, however due to how homogenous the US is in comparison to the EU it is a lot easier to market products there.

I definitely don't expect Apple to come to the conclusion that they should pull out of the EU, just suggesting that the US 330M population is easier to target than the EUs 450M, and that therefore the US market (rightfully) probably weighs higher than the EU.
7% of App Store revenue. Not all their revenue.
The model breaks down because there is only one supermarket. Well, at least until the EU mandates alternate app stores without Apple handicapping them.
There are a ton of perfectly good Linux distros out there--many with some type of support available. The thing with CentOS was that, especially latterly after the CentOS team was acquired by Red Hat, many saw CentOS--as a downstream rebuild from RHEL sources, albeit with a different build system--as a semi-supported version of RHEL for free.

For people who don't want CentOS Stream, i.e. basically the nightly RHEL builds, the lack of having a versioned CentOS mirroring RHEL versions coming out of Red Hat (for about the last 10 years) puts them in somewhat uncharted waters even if they could pick one of the RHEL alternatives and "probably" be fine.
I share the same exact sentiment.

I hope they get hit hard.

I wasn't making any counterargument.

I can 100% agree with you that TBTF was originally associated with the banking industry but simultaneously show that this isn't the meaning that others are using for Boeing. This seems like an obvious fact from a neutral viewpoint of seeing how language usage evolves (e.g. see the google examples) so not sure why stating it is controversial.

During the hearing Kaechele was accompanied by a group of about 20 supporters who dressed in navy suits.

In his decision, Mr Grueber said while he did not observe it himself, the supporters all sat very still before shifting their position in a unison and coordinated manner.

The group were reportedly reading feminist texts, and slowly marched out of the tribunal to the tune of Robert Palmer's song Simply Irresistible.

This argument only makes sense if you think of Apple as an entity that has a nationality. It's an internationally traded company that is therefore owned by international money. The stars would have to align in a very special way for 50% of the shareholders to agree that it's to Apple's strategic benefit to leave the EU.

It also underestimates the costs of leaving the EU or any country. In a lot of cases there are laws against leaving a countries market. I doubt the shareholders want Apple to go into such a fight.

Any extra work it requires to comply can be offset by price increases if Apple needs to recoup those losses.
