I suppose now that they've containerized a huge amount of their repositories' userspace applications and they do much less work there (all pushed to upstream container makers) they can have those employees working to support other software than their open source OS.

> Canonical plans to maintain the 2,000 widely used AI/ML libraries and tools, including heavy hitters such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Rapids, as source code instead of as Debian/Ubuntu deb packages.

That's rough. Hopefully the desktop ecosystem doesn't suffer. That said, 12 years sounds amazing! I wish this were applied to their actual desktop LTE and ESM and not commercial docker container using non debian package management.
And my love for Safari goes up a little more.
No need.

So much real estate investment was made by extending way beyond relatively minuscule net worth, based solely on ZIRP.

For the longest time, income-generating properties provided positive cash flow at returns lower than the current interest rate has risen to.

Now all of these speculators are in trouble at the same time.

And if small-business tenants were providing the cash flow, lots of them were barely viable, and only as long as expenses and interest rates on other loans did not rise at a faster rate than during the ZIRP period when things had been considered stable for quite some time.
Google will certainly try to prevent that!
We even have a record of ancient Earth’s magnetic fields :) The geological record is pretty amazing indeed!
If I understand correctly, this means that Tesla vehicles that do not have CCS retrofit will not work with J3400 NACS third party chargers. Is that correct?
Google has never cared that much about people abusing their APIs.

As they often benefit from it e.g. comprehensive browser fingerprinting.

That's what people said about Internet Explorer
I actually like the floating fortune cookies but they seem timid, as though you were unsure about keeping them so you made them faint and small almost to the point of almost erasing them. Maybe a single more visible polygon would communicate meaning better than several faded ones. Looks nice overall.
Today I finally clicked on that "Create theme with AI" on chrome's default page. I'm really having a hard time trying to differentiate it with selecting any random theme.

At this point I'm going to create an image generator that's just an api to return random images from pixabay. pix.ai (opensource of course)
Are you expecting Apple to not add AI right in their own browser, after their 1 hour "we also do AI" presentation this month ?
I have the opposite problem: Cloudflare allows completely private hosting, allowing an endless parade of phishing attacks to remain anonymous and unpunished.

Every day I get at least one spam SMS with a link in it. That link is invariably registered with Cloudflare with "hostmaster privacy" and hidden behind a Cloudflare CDN so there is no way to track down the owners.

People have tried to contact Cloudflare to block these criminals, but Cloudflare forwards all complaints to /dev/null.

Behaviour like this seems pro-freedom, but it is the diametric opposite of the type of Internet we used to have in the 1990s where people were people, and bad actors could be named and shamed.

CloudFlare is pro-bot, pro-phish, pro-crime, and pro-spam.
A sign of a good educator is to - while it may take a lot of time and a lot of building up of base concepts - enlighten people through plain language the complexities of their topic.

Oftentimes, research papers and similar are written for an audience that is already deeply ingrained in their representative topic, such that those first principles aren't discussed anymore, so perhaps that's where you're coming from when you speak about how "no one can explain ..."; but I would argue that many people can, and have. It may just take a lot of speaking, paper, drawings and similar.

And even if / when there are obscenely difficult things to prove, the chances that the thing the proverbial "you" is working on is one of the incredibly difficult things is very unlikely.

There's a saying that a sign of actually understanding something is being able to describe it to a child. It's also why Thing Explainer and ELI5 exists.
Why not do a simple google search before posting something like this? It would've taken less time than posting what you wrote which is completely not based on fact.
After which none of the doomsday scenarios people shrieked about had occurred. ISPs aren’t selling bundles that exclude certain websites, nor do cable providers privilege their streaming video traffic over Netflix.
Browser extensions should be able to shim or even overwrite the `.ai` object in the window, so it should be possible to add ollama etc to all browsers through extensions with the same API, making it a defacto standard

It should be simple enough to do that I believe at least 3-5 people are going to be doing this if it's not done already

Hell, if nobody does it I will do it
The level of misinformation being spread here is severe.

NACS is the Tesla connector. Tesla will support both its homemade protocol on that connector (at the moment far superior because it doesn't require separate payment, you just plug in and charge) and CCS. Other stations will support CCS for fast charging.

This only matters when you want to level 3 charge, i.e, supercharge. Level 2 chargers always work without CCS support because that's just a normal J1772 which was always pin-compatible with NACS (you get a simple plastic adapter with the car).

All Teslas 2021 and newer support CCS. It costs about $250-300 to upgrade an older Tesla to support CCS. Tesla already has upgrade programs in place for some models; you can just schedule it from the app. If you really need support for models that they haven't yet covered, 3rd parties have been offering this upgrade for a long time at the same prices.

There's nothing special here. No one is lying. I have no idea what you're talking about. Sounds like you have some problem with Tesla?
That isn't there case though. You're being subject to arrest for failing to use an available shelter. The religious conditions are a side effect. Similar to how taking a dump is a side effect of eating, and so if you want to avoid taking one, you'd have to avoid eating, but you have to deal with the prospect of death as a consequence. You don't die from not taking a dump (usually), but from not eating.
> How did it work before the Chevron defense?

Congress passed laws that required interpretation to actually implement. If someone disagreed with the agency interpretation they went to court. The court would then figure out an interpretation.

All Chevron deference did is tell the court that if the agency interpretation was reasonable the court should go with that.

With or without Chevron, "unelected bureaucrats" end up interpreting the law.
The scale is what makes it a threat. Too much behind the same gates.
No, expected. Only execute bytecode that was actually generated by the correct compiler. Otherwise you get memory safety violations or sandbox escapes. (Or sandbox escapes via memory safety violations.)

Just as you don't execute arbitrary machine code.

Luau has the same thing, and you don't see Roblox suffering from sandbox escapes all the time, do you?
What you did there, I see it.
I'm sure you realize that Google's strategy has long been the opposite: that users will continue to abandon other engines when theirs is the only one that supports capabilities, until standards no longer matter at all and the entire browser ecosystem is theirs.

Chrome may have been a darling thing when it was young, but is now just a fresh take on Microsoft's Internet Explorer strategy. MS lost it's hold on the web because of regulatory action, and Google's just been trying to find a permissible road to that same opportunity.
Here is a real world adapter that does protocol conversion of CCS to Tesla's protocol. It's big, clumsy, and finicky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEE2o6_FRxc

Here is a real world example of a dumb adapter for J3400 to CCS Type 1 combo. It does no protocol conversion. It's smaller, simpler, and works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3-0xRTduPI

Just accept the practical reality that Tesla's protocol is dead. CCS is the protocol going forward. CCS won.
If you have time, blog or share code. If things work well, you could get audiences, but there is much less socializing. Writing also helps in becoming more articulate when opportunities for conversations arrive.
I have read it closely no fewer than three times. It's junk and filled with sleights of hand like I already mentioned, which you don't pick up on by not paying enough attention.
Of course. The right strategy for them is emphatically not the same as the right thing for users.

That NASA document doesn’t actually say it applies to dual citizens, it only says it applies to “Foreign Nationals”. It all depends on how one defines that term, of course, but usually in US law, a US dual citizen is not a “Foreign National”. The document never mentions the issue of dual citizenship.

Now, I’m not saying you are wrong here - maybe NASA actually does have a policy saying dual US citizens are subject to certain additional restrictions, depending on the country of dual citizenship - but the document you are citing in support of your position never actually says that.

If we are talking about security clearances, as opposed to export control, that is a completely different story. Absolutely dual citizenship can get one denied a security clearance, and dual citizenship with an unfriendly country increases those odds-but even there, there is no absolute rule about it, whether dual citizenship is disqualifying is decided on a case-by-case basis, and it depends not just on the country of dual citizenship, but also how one got the citizenship, how much one chooses to make use of its benefits (there is a big difference between getting dual citizenship at time of birth but never applying for a passport, versus naturalising as a citizen of another country as an adult and then travelling around the world with its passport), etc
Further notes:

I had been thinking and speaking in public about how to make a "Metamask but for AI instead of crypto" but I thought it would be impossible for websites to adopt it

This may be a case of "there's a business there, but it's not this business". You can always take a sensible business and turn it into selling $1 for $0.75 and go deeper and deeper into debt while buying market share, while at the same time making it impossible for anyone else who wants to actually make money to compete.

(I have no idea how to turn this into any sort of law but companies really shouldn't be allowed to just dive into debt, conquer a market via selling dollar bills for 75 cents, then collapse into a puff of compounded interest and massive losses and destroy the entire segment they are in as they collapse. I suppose just not having interest rates at effectively 0 will likely do the trick eventually.)
I exclusively only touch the internet through Tor or one of a small set of privacy VPNs. Cloudflare drives me crazy over Tor because my preference is to run 'Safer' mode: that web assembly is disabled and javascript is less accelerated. That causes verification loops for cloudflare, and lawyer offices all seem to use the same canned hosting template. I think CF is doing this because it may allow them to grope the device better if webassembly is enabled.

All that's needed is a minimum of 36 independent boolean values to identify you in the global population. 72 is more than enough to gain high confidence in birthday attack problems at 36 bits. How many hardware-unique bits can be siphoned with web assembly and javascript?
What makes you think that's true given no evidence of that exists?

the (A)GPL does not protect me from a big resourceful company running my code and selling services based on it competing against me, while not paying me a dime.

most such companies avoid the AGPL because it prevents them from creating proprietary extensions to the code, but not because it would prevent them from commercially exploiting the code and profiting from it.

the problem that FUTO is trying to address is the commercial exploitation at the expense of the original creators. a problem that several companies (redis, mongodb, elasticsearch, zerotier, terraform, vagrant, and many more...) in recent years had to face, causing them to change their license.

it's a problem that bruce perens is also trying to address:

It has been a while since I've used it, but IIRC, Matplotlib was made for print media, which generally doesn't use pixels, hence no pixel support. As you found, there are better programs to use with pixels.
> That's a lot of assumptions about human level intelligence.

I disagree, but I doubt we're going to get anywhere by discussing it. It seems to me that you are either seriously undervaluing human intelligence, or seriously overvaluing LLMs.
I'd love to agree with you, and I probably do for the most part regarding "spreading out good ideas", but only as two probably well-educated members of today's society.

Unfortunately, while I completely believe you about immigrants "falling" into the culture when moving there (as it happens, in my experience, with most immigrants adopting the culture of whichever place they end up in after a while); I never suggested it was something that Scandinavians get in their genes at birth time or anything -- only how their societies were developed through history.

I don't think you can just do the inverse (expats influenced by a new culture, vs. new external idea influencing an established culture) and expect it to work to the same degree or at the same speed.

Or, the same argument, in meme form:

There is a great book called The Conspiracy Against the Human Race that talks about this in a way that makes sense to me:

As a survival-happy species, our successes are calculated in the number of years we have extended our lives, with the reduction of suffering being only incidental to this aim. To stay alive under almost any circumstances is a sickness with us. Nothing could be more unhealthy than to “watch one’s health” as a means of stalling death. The lengths we will go as procrastinators of that last gasp only demonstrate a morbid dread of that event. By contrast, our fear of suffering is deficient.

The book is very pessimistic but that’s the point, I quite enjoyed it.
Compounded across 50k years, there's only a very, very, very tiny sliver of possible conditions where the meat was just barely thawed enough to be contaminated, but not enough to be simply entirely rotted away 49k+ years ago. If it exists to be frozen at all, it is virtually guaranteed to have been frozen the entire time. Another example of scaling being counterintuitive.
This document was essential when I implemented Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse HID support in nanoFramework [1] to automatically lock my PC based on my presence [2].

I found this doc difficult to read at times and has some vague parts where I had to look at existing open-source implementations in other languages to understand the feature/functionality more.

However, I was pleasantly surprised by how good the HID protocol is and how much it does behind the scenes to enable the peripherals we use everyday.

I would argue that it needs a new iteration. Some of the modern peripherals like gaming mice have extra functionality that you need to install the OEM's software which is just additional bloat. A new iteration of this protocol could bring some/all of the common modern functionality natively to operating systems and reduce our reliance on extra software that just boats the operating system and slows things down.

Maybe I'm just lucky in where I live/the routes I travel, but having an EV has been amazing and I would never go back. I have done multiple long distance trips ranging from 3ish hours of driving to 10ish hours of driving, and while the charging definitely adds to the length, it is the amount I expected before I bought the car, and I'm fine with it. And finding fast chargers along my route has never been a problem. There has been an issue with the fast charger exactly once, and I was able to go to a different charger in the same town. I've had to wait for a stall to open up maybe twice.

I'm also saving enough money on fuel every month that if I was going to take a long trip where charging infrastructure was not as reliable/prevalent, then I could probably rent an ICE vehicle for a week long trip once a year and still come out ahead.

It would not surprise me to find out that charging infrastructure along my usual trips (the I-5 corridor) is unusually good, but I just wouldn't have guessed that such a large number of people would be taking so many long trips in areas with poor charging infrastructure that it would outweigh the other advantages.
You're confused. Watch the video I linked to. See the real world example. That will clarify it for you.
The cost to build a loop of transmission across the entire US is EXTREMELY expensive. It costs billions just for short segments of transmission.
It doesn’t hurt to have the option
That's what you find in a lot of domain specific libraries written by scientists, mathematicians, etc. Professional engineer-quality code written by people who aren't professional engineers is rare. Or it's some enormously popular library that has had a lot of attention from engineers over the years.
Best crypto scam I see right now is the (MEV) bot scam. There are a bunch of promoted videos like below. Just download some code, connect it to your ETH wallet and you'll make 20-50-100% profits daily. I reported some over a month ago but still up. Has nearly half a million views.

Yes, with adjustments to make it work with the bluetooth stack.

It makes sense. No need for a different input stack implementation in the OS to handle common peripherals like Keyboards and Mice just because they are using a different communication medium. HID works well for this.

I think this is extremely unlikely because it is so much cheaper to mass manufacture and ship things across literally half the entire world than to make them locally.

Energy/resource usage is not dominated by low frequency lumber trips, it is the every day push and pull of the mass of people, water, sewage, garbage, food, etc.

Without reverting to 1400s lifestyle where you only consume stuff made within a few hundred miles of you, I don’t think there is any way a modern populace consumed less by using more space.

Correct. From the Lua 5.2 manual [0]:

"all functions that load code are potentially insecure when loading untrusted binary data. [...] When in doubt, use the mode argument of those functions to restrict them to loading textual chunks."

I thought this was widely known within the Lua community - I'm amazed that Factorio would support loading untrusted bytecode. Was that a decision the game's developers actively made (for what reasons?) or were they simply unaware of the risks?

5 is misleading. This isn't a typical model where paying customers subsidize the rest.

Cloudflare makes money from the free traffic by caching it. Caching dramatically reduces the amount of data that needs to be transferred over the backbone, which saves ISPs a ton of money, and improves latency for their customers.

From S-1 filing, under "Our Business Model" section:

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1477333/000119312519...

> Given the large customer base we have and the immense amount of Internet traffic that we manage, we are able to negotiate mutually beneficial agreements with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that allow us to place our equipment directly in their data centers, which dramatically drives down our bandwidth and co-location expenses.
Must be a fuss in Redmond “They can’t do that! Let’s sue.” Well, they beat Lindows, let’s see if they can beat Google.
So many AI applications right now are just buzzword plays like that, burning hundreds of watts and seconds of latency on features that are already solved better and cheaper with traditional programs.

But lots of both stakeholders and users currently value the "magic" itself over anything practical.
