Let’s just say, this is a very complex problem and people are aware of it. But it’s not easy to solve. Technological progress, customer psychology, geopolitical questions, market positioning and branding are things you need to consider.

In fact, it's very different. You, as a single person might not care about a patch you contributed, or a small utility you have written. However, not everyone thinks like you (e.g.: Me, as Fig. 1a).

When you put all this spectrum of views under a project, it becomes another thing to manage these expectations and what people want from the project in the end. When big shifts start to occur, people will react differently.

When it's a project people love and contribute with the expectation of keeping things the way it's, and the things change, people won't be happy. See: Go's opt-out by default telemetry proposal, HashiCorp's and Docker's license changes, Google's persistent push to block ad-blockers, Microsoft's breaking of VSCodium in subtle ways, etc.

So it's much more than you and your code, esp. in projects like these. I think licensing them with licenses allowing rug-pulls (esp. under community itself), is a red-flag in many cases.

I also put the code I develop myself out there for the betterment of all, but it's licensed with GPL, because I don't want someone take and run away with it for "betterment of themselves rather than everyone". Now, you might not agree with me, and I respect that, but that's the terms I put on my code. As I always say. If you like it that much, reimplement it. I don't care.

Conversely, I contribute to a project which allows no GPL code, because it's designed to be both open, and be customized and closed at the same time. We put it out very openly in the beginning, because that license is a requirement for the use case we (as in ~10 countries) have, and MIT is the best one for our use case.

...but, Ladybird is not that. The project tries to build an important, foundational commodity item. Allowing it to be taken private is a mistake, IMO.
I would classify advancing the state of the art knowledge in math/computers/science to be a noble feat in itself that doesn't need any justification (especially to those who have done less).
> The President's power as Commander in Chief is enumerated, so having Seal Team 6 whack DeSantis would be absolutely immune to prosecution.

This does not seem to fit either the examples set in the majority opinion or a reasonable understanding of what the President's enumerated power as commander in chief means. In the absence of a Congressional declaration of war against Ron DeSantis (which I am all for) the President's core duty would seem to cover killing DeSantis only in the event of a clear and present danger to the nation from DeSantis. Otherwise this is rebuttable, and will be pretty easily rebutted, immunity.

Yes, we are relying on the courts to carve that kind of fine distinction, and yes, this decision makes that a bit harder. But hardly impossible, and we were already relying on the courts for that. Subjecting this decision to the most ridiculous interpretation is politically useful right now but that's about all it's good for.

Wireguard layer-3 tunneling identity (public key) is for machines, not human users. Rolling out Wireguard in an "enterprise environment" for over 600 user laptops and desktops (mix of Linux and some macOS* and Windows*) with our existing configuration management (SaltStack/GitOps) was extremely easy to do.

Where additional layer-3 tunnels that were user or group specific were necessary, we did some very light scripting that any sophomore-level Sys Admin can handle.

We already have BeyondCorp / ZeroTrust for any layer-4 and above authentication.

If the claim was that the problem was solved, sure it might make sense that the package does not need to be touched (in reality the field isn’t as slow as you presume, but I digress).

Instead, the claim is that it’s “nearly^{TM}” solved, so the proof being an abandoned repo from half a decade ago actually speaks volumes: it’s solved except for the hard part, and nobody knows how to solve the hard part.
It doesn’t matter how it has historically been used, it matters how it is being used now. What they are describing is accurate.

I heard comments like yours all the time when people were saying we needed to take QAnon more seriously. People thought it was fringe, that people concerned were “terminally online.” Even as we saw their talking points work their way into mainstream conservative outlets.

To me the duff's device is just a mechanism to unroll a loop without having to duplicate the code for the trailing case.

While you can't use SIMD you can still benefit from instruction-level parallelism.

It's potentially better in some scenarios where you want to minimize instruction cache usage and there are few iterations of the loop.

If LA could just make their existing SLOW heavy trains go to the airport (Amtrak/Metrolink/SD's Coaster), an incredible amount of traffic could be reduced. I live in SD and would like to take LAX more often, but the closest station is Union Station and a bus ride or uber is required between the two, which limits viability. LA metro rail leaves a lot to be desired safety wise.

Found the same thing with swc. They have all this tooling, written in Rust, but no way to invoke it as a lib so it could be used inside a Cargo build.rs. Not easily at least. I made some progress then gave up.

I probably would have done my homework on the C64 in the late 90's, where doing something like that on the C64 would still kind of be a viable thing (barely), but my dad didn't have the printer for it anymore. My parents had a computer and I did use it but mostly to play Descent.

Once I got my own computer I started doing everything on it, primarily because teachers genuinely could not read my handwriting. This sometimes required me to retype the worksheets in some capacity, but fortunately my teachers never had a problem with me doing that (maybe because they knew the alternative would be an unreadable mess). I learned algebra and calculus via the use of MathType (which Florida's online school gave a free license and I took one class virtually), and it's to a point now where I can almost never find a pen when I need one because I type everything out, since I haven't really practiced writing with by hand for about twenty years. I genuinely get kind of uncomfortable doing any kind of math with pen and paper now, since I'm so used to MathType and now LaTeX.

I never did a depth-first analysis of the features of WordPerfect, just the superficial stuff to make basic documents, but I did like using it. I don't remember any of the keystrokes anymore, but I did learn them when I was first using it.
Yeah this is no different than receiving a binary rather than the source, bundled code is close enough for this comparison (though it would be probably easier to unbundle code rather than decompile a binary, it’s still a fair amount of work)

This is the way. Fully separate your work and personal life. Separate devices, separate accounts, separate physical rooms if you can swing it financially. Never cross the streams. Close your work devices at 5:30 or whenever you are done, turn off the ringer on your work phone, lock them in a drawer or something and just forget about them until the next day.

This will be the first US presidential election with these tools widely available. If they want to write on the topic it'd be handy to see how the tools are used and how they may have influenced the election. Since it hasn't happened yet, they have to wait to fill in some sections with observations of what happens rather than just guesses of what might happen (though I'd be interested to see what they think could happen rather than just a retrospective).
OT, but would really appreciate if you guys offered Passkeys and regular passwords, the whole "check your email" thing is really annoying.
No. You are effectively advocating for violence as an acceptable solution, which it isn't. We need effective checks and balances but this ruling appears to have eroded one of them. If the rule of law doesn't apply to a president then we have lost one of the major checks on them, the judicial system. The judicial system is supposed to be one of the checks that keeps presidents from turning into kings and abusing their power to the detriment of the country and the people that live in it.

An autonomous vehicle drove into oncoming traffic. That's not 'failing safe'.
That's not what I'm doing. I'm saying if your distro, your hardware, or your setup takes significantly more time, examine why. The hardware part is tough because we're effectively locked into whatever is cheap on the market, everything else is 100% fixable. Fast booting is not really a hard problem, especially in embedded where you know & control the hardware.

Storage and cooling of thorium ions has also been achieved already. It's only a matter of time before a clock is built using such an ion-trap setup (and a matter of significantly more time until auch a clock can be used in real-world applications). The article is talking about avoiding this but I believe the first thorium clock will likely be an ion trap.

The setup of this article promised insightful consideration of the history and progress of intelligence since the Enlightenment, but after a couple paragraphs of un-inquisitive ranting about the philosophy of Descartes with a couple of nods to the author's formative-experience regards for a movie and a game, the essay devolves into a simple warning to not trust any prescription from the ambassadors of 21st social-tech culture, because they are soulless and tend institutions of unremitting greed.

Thanks and duly noted.

But we need only observe the Bay Area, the heartland of social tech, which is a shining beacon on a hill for a grotesquely dysfunctional and stratified high-tech culture that utterly fails— luckily— to deliver on the ambassadors' endless promises of a high-tech utopia.

Regarding the invocation of Descartes, the author oversimplifies and misunderstands the significance of Descartes philosophical legacy. The soul (mind) was what was to be demonstrated: "Though I may doubt everything else, I know that I am." To obviate this certainty destroys any possibility of consideration. QED.

Descartes "body" was an intellectual remainder, being merely a label for the corporeal self based on mechanical principles.

In Descartes' time, machine meant objects interacting by direct contact. Newton showed beyond doubt that the world is not "mechanical" and with his theory of gravity any coherent philosophical notion of "body" was lost. But Descartes' "mind" was left intact. This has never since been contradicted. The mechanical philosophy branched into numerous theories that avoid any attempt to formulate an intelligible world (to quote Chomsky) and quietly make due with intelligible theories about the world.

That any idea of "mind-body" dualism persists today is an artifact of trivial common sense, which is notoriously incapable of apprehending the mysteries of the world with any scientific depth or subtlety.

Final thought: the author resorts to ranting in post-feminist terms about the historical predisposition of European males to their collective milieu betrays the authors' lack of interest in the history of science, and in turn lack of interest in aspects of the Enlightenment that gave rise to today's ambassadors.

Interest in history of science can inform and catalyze ways of thinking about a progressive 21st century commons. The Enlightenment gave rise to classical liberalism: The recognition of the apparently divine human spark of creativity, which is a total mystery, but self-evident since Descartes. The capacity of free thought and action including the ability to freely express one's thoughts. A spark unique to the human species, and an endowment which should be nurtured by any decent society.

The author's critique thus comes down to the simple observation that Zuckerberg and Andreessen, and the corporate finance institutions they serve, have no decent regard for the human experience.

Well tell us something we don't know!

Unfortunately for the commons, these cats insulate themselves from curiosity rather than encourage it.

Many those Enlightenment white dudes were a special breed of cat?

How is the in-car audio call between Waymo and the police initiated? I would want it to automatically initiate shortly after being pulled over. That would be easiest for emergency services. It would also assure for the passenger and be a way to give the passenger instructions, if needed. The downside would be cost to Waymo to staff a potentially unnecessary call.

The thing that got me was I used to use the second to last version of WordStar. Which had paragraph and page styles that you could import, edit and apply to text. When it became apparent that I couldn't be using Word Star to share documents anymore I tried WordPerfect and it was so annoying. You just want to set the paragraph style and start typing not play with tags. Eventually I just used Word. But styles in word wasn't nearly as obvious and straight foreword.

We tried them too. My wife is a 3D artist, but we needed a lot of assets that frankly weren't that important. The plan was to use the output as a starting point and improve as needed manually.

The problem is that the output you get is just baked meshes. If the object connects together or has a few pieces you'll have to essentially undo some of that work. Similar problems with textures as the AI doesn't work normally like other artists do.

All of this is also on top of the output being basically garbage. Input photos ultimately fail in ways that would require so much work to fix it invalidates the concept. By the time you start to get something approaching decent output you've put in more work or money than just having someone make it to begin with while essentially also losing all control over the art pipeline.
