>> What's stopping a sitting president from directing his party's governors across the states to appoint judges favorable to their politics (already happening the last 4-8 years).

Nothing has ever stopped this except for the ability to vote these people out. In fact, voting for people that hold the same political values as you do and expecting them to advance those political values is literally the point of representative democracy.

There is a lot of fearmongering related to the Supreme Court's decisions recently, but a lot of it seems to take an issue with our political system generally rather than the specifics of the decisions. (And the entire discussion is hampered by everyone's inability to actually read and understand what the Supreme Court decisions actually say, leading to people just repeating their favorite news agency's talking points like you have here with the "supreme court ruled this isnt a bribe" insert.)
I have bought vintage on Etsy. Fine stuff. Could be labelled "vintage" with a requirement of >25y age.

Does it have support for web scraping opt-out protocols, such as Robots.txt, HTTP and content tags?
These are getting more important now, especially in the EU after the DSM directive.
I think you're missing the point, it doesn't matter if it was spam or not - The point is that automating creativity is not a useful way of facilitating content creation. We should be automating the tedious behind-the-scenes stuff.
Definitely a bit of hypocrisy here. "Company X makes money from ads and that's anti-consumer!" "We make money from ads and that's good."
Interesting. Are there (SQLite?) extensions or other bits commonly used with the application for Yugioh?

Asking because we're getting very near the next major release, but if there are extensions or similar (OSS) things people commonly use with our application, then we could look at adding them to in the next release. Or maybe the point release after that (depending on time/effort/etc).

Note that I'm not at all familiar with Yugioh personally, but looking at the wikipedia page... wow that's an extensive extended Community. ;)
When I say "hard to believe" I don't mean to say that I don't believe it. With that out of the way, I am merely stating that it challenges my gray cells: how could sound waves hitting the ear drums cause the variety of health issues that are reported in the article.
Won't somebody think of the poor doctors?
Training models is not OS dependend. RAM is dependend on the size and i would argue this should be a lot easier to finetune with less GPU Ram.

Nonetheless the endgoal will probably be downloading a model like this or paying for finetuning than downloading and using it through an optimized Neuralchip.

Its currently more a question of when this will happen. The newest Windows cert already requires some neuralchip and even my google pixel 8 pro can host small models (i know the pixel is not a cheap phone, but the coprocessor should still be much more affordable than a big GPU)
It makes me think of Lem's `watch` that displays s-expr results in an overlay, much like CIDER's Enlighten, somewhat like LightTable: https://lem-project.github.io/usage/common_lisp/#watch

There's sly-overlay too: https://git.sr.ht/~fosskers/sly-overlay (a couple function changes away to have it on Slime)

but those are not inside the stepper. (edit) oh, there's Sly-stickers: https://joaotavora.github.io/sly/#Stickers

LispWorks has a more graphical stepper / debugger so we might look into it.

There might be sthg on the newer CLOG?

I'm not disputing anything you say, but my comment was aimed at explaining why someone who doesn't like dealing with build tools would want to write one.

I don't want to have to defend their choice or explain why build tools are often complex and cumbersome.
I have a M1 laptop so I kinda suffered some aspects of MacOS. But, when I have a problem, it just feels like this:

Windows: Chances are the problem doesn't exist.

Linux: Spend 6 hours to fix it.

MacOS: Spend 50$ for software that fixes it.

It's a bit strange that none existed in the rich Google Marketplace earlier. After working 9 years in recruitment, and exploring multiple tool, I decided to build a simple and efficient solution myself.
Many people who are addicted to drugs are self medicating for a variety of mental health issues
“Probably doesn’t halt” is ill defined, it either halts or it doesn’t. In either case, computability of that number is completely separate from whether we can prove that number is BB(N) or decide whether a given beaver halts. Additionally, the way the busy beaver function is defined ensures it has a defined integer output. Computability is just our ability to construct a machine which would print out that number. We can clearly do that for any integer
There’s actually a ton of interference in the 2.4 GHz space, especially at venues like outdoor festivals. However your solution does work. I work at a festival that provides a WiFi network and an Ethernet drop for the ticket scanners. We have to use multiple APs to cover the main entrance area, but it’s feasible.
Most artists, like most programmers are working in a commercial capacity. I see no reason why "their passion" should overrule profit-seeking.

Do art for the sake of art on your own time. But expecting companies to not embrace AI to do their jobs is foolish just like it's foolish to think corporate programmers will be a thing at some point in the future.

Wow, that sucks. Etsy was one of the best places to get adult toys, especially more exotic ones, that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Not sure where to go instead.
This kind of hand waving is extraordinarily counter productive. Yes, corruption has always existed in our political system. Now it's a legitimate political strategy and has been accelerating in demonstrable ways in the last 10 years, and these decisions add fuel to that fire. Hard to really argue otherwise.

With extensive rollbacks to the voting rights act, and the inherent power of money in political campaigns, it's very difficult to swallow the "just vote" argument as well. It clearly isn't working. Also, you cannot vote out appointed judges, including the ones sitting on the SC that are making decisions that impact hundreds of millions of people and sit for life.
Could you publish it on Homebrew to make the installation on Mac hassle-free too?
> You're just hurting honest working class people trying to do work, email/call their kids, manage things like doctors appointments

Right, so they can do all that important stuff on technology that was invented by nerds and hackers over the decades, while they were being demonized by society, bullied, put down, and shoved aside by the so-called sociable class.

Yeah, I’ll continue not shedding tears over Joe Sixpack’s inability to check his football scores for a few minutes.
Props to you, but this doesn't change my mind. VCS is intrinsically meant as a collaboration tool. If something goes wrong "jj did it" won't be a good excuse. If one needs to communicate his workflow to another, he better doesn't start with "well, you just install jj and...", he needs to explain, how to do that in git. If there is a junior dev on the team and I need to teach him common practices, I need to do that in the same personal-preference-agnostic manner, so I shouldn't teach him jj instead of git, even if I use it personally. Long story short, you need to be fluent in both, and even though I know git pretty well, I wouldn't even say I'm fluent in git: most of the time my fingers type stuff I don't conciously remember anymore, often relying on aliases and Ctrl+R. This is additional complexity, and it feels to me like I need it to be something HUGE to actually justify that.

> People hearing about you: do you seriously believe that website analytics are suitable tools that provide reliable metrics for brand/product awareness, recognition, product-market fit, etc.?

Why are you bringing up PMF when it comes to analytics. BUT! Yes, can. If your users are using your shit all the time and you got analytics all over your app, you've probably got a better

But remember when I said earlier looking a single stat in isolation is bad? Ssh.

> I think you are circling around it: all those analytics metrics are just a means to justify the existence of useless 'marketers' who have no idea how to actually measure brand visibility, recognition, or any qualitative metric. These 'specialists' can't even fathom (heh) that business seasonality is something that shows up in a north-star metric and have no imagination or technical ability to set up a website monitoring service or a crawler, use a CRM for attribution, etc.

"Useless marketers"...

Anyways, you're complaining about others people useless while you're saying all data except for your north star metrics are useless.

Imo, this is arrogance and ignorance mixed together.
This sounds awfully like macOS on Apple Silicon, where the "boot menu" is in fact more or less full-fat macOS with special fullscreen GUI.
>Google has ended its mass purchase of cheap carbon offsets and thus stopped claiming that its operations are carbon neutral, according to the tech giant’s latest environmental report. The company now aims to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2030.

Carbon offsets are too often questionably valid in my opinion.

There is also a huge increase in energy because of GPUs and you can find plenty of stories about tech giants experiencing that as well.
PyInstaller + bundling the dlls and binaries works well for me
Well, the compiler has no way of knowing if a function will later be a signal handler after linking, or even dynamic loading.

There is no portable way to annotate all functions ever written or ever will be written as being async signal safe.

Which functions are async signal safe varies with the operating system and runtime (eg. an unsafe function in linux-gnu might be safe in linux-musl or linux-bionic).

Other than those insurmountable problems, yeah, good idea.
Enterprises don't go for RHEL because it's free software, yay freedom!

They go for it because it gives a very stable, solid foundation. They don't want a fragile base layer prone to breaking every day of the week.

This involves backporting a lot of stuff (primarily security fixes) because you can't just upgrade any package to its latest version, it will have entirely new dependencies, potentially breaking changes etc.

What should RedHat do, which does not:

1) make them lose their enterprise customers wanting a stable base

2) have unpatched security holes all over their distros

3) not cause them to backport stuff (we are here at the moment) ?

Good point and thanks for bringing this to our attention. We can certainly clarify.

Isn't the major issue that the wind causes downed energized power lines which then cause fires?
It’s definitely a cycle. Pre-Temu/AliExpress I worked at a store that sold high end purpose made knives and low end “fantasy” knives. As soon as a factory was opened in China by a major brand the original (sans branding) would suddenly show up in the same catalog as the fantasy knives at 1/5 MSRP and an inferior knock off at 1/20th MSRP; all the high tech designer steels and plastics replaced by 440 and ABS or Micarta. It’s the way business is often done in their manufacturing economy.

Reading about this, I can't help but notice the similarities to Sweden: unusually large amounts of ancient forest cover, being cut down en masse. Estonia was ruled by Sweden once, I wonder if that's some lingering influence somehow.
They are provincial responsibilities, but the group allowing in 3-5x the number of people should have ensured the groups responsible for handling those people are doing what needs to be done to accommodate them, no? And if they aren’t, then they shouldn’t open the floodgates anyways, right?
Their track record based on Humane AI does not exactly give the confidence on building an AI search you can trust. Also what a pivot from hardware to fact-checking?
It's true that environmental impact matters (although the amount of salt we're talking about is negligible - it's hard to wrap your mind around just how big the ocean is vs. the amount of water being extracted from it). Desalination plants have been run for a long time in Israel and Saudi Arabia.

To give you an idea of the scale involved, one of Israel's large desalination plants produced 332 acre-feet of water per day. The Red Sea is around 1.8 * 10^11 acre feet of water, so assuming the Red Sea never got replenished, that would take... 1.5 million years to empty it out.

The plant is removing about 1,300 tons of salt per day, which may sound like a lot, but consider that the ocean currently has about 5.0 * 10^16 of salt in it, it's not significant, assuming they were discharging the salt to the ocean - which they don't! The output of a desalination plant is more brine produced than freshwater produced, so it's not at a very large concentration and the impact on sea life is minimal.

Nuclear isn't a distraction because nuclear was already installed, was working, and is sustainable. Researchers are working on a lot of things, but research doesn't equal something that can actually meet demand for water today. Desalination works today and people rely on it for water around the globe. This would be a great improvement over trying to empty out Lake Mead and the Colorado.
Can you comment on latency-sensitive video (Meet, Zoom) versus latency-insensitive video (YouTube, Netflix)? Is only the latter “streaming video traffic”?
I'm arguing it's a game and one I don't play anymore.

Consumers aren't infinitely rational homo-economicus logicians and discussing products as if they are is irrelevant.

People might buy into the UV and IR just because they could. It doesn't have to be practical and they don't have to ever use it.

The modern iPhone: No removable battery, too big for pockets, cash cow of a multi trillion dollar company, lacks a headphone port, needs a proprietary charger... Doesn't matter. Products have features. Features aren't a product.

Successful products feel like their own thing that also services the need they're intended for. Xerox used to occupy that space for printing. It's mostly vacant now.
What? Who is honestly doing that? Are you just making random stuff up?

Imma make my analytics look really good when they're crap because??? People buy fake followers because others can see it. No one else is looking at your analytics. And you sure as hell don't want to increase your page views since your conversion rate would tank and that's the most important metric.

you can hire 3rd party companies to manage your logistics. if you design a thing and then have it massed produced, you don't want to have to deal with the inventory taking over your living space. Spouses tend to get very unhappy with that. So you have a company that receives the orders and ships for you and keep the SO happy. "What can brown do for you?" type of companies
It's always been a legitimate political strategy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago-style_politics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_machine#In_the_histo...

I'd be interested in your basis for the statement that it's "accelerating." I'd go further and bet that your basis is more of a vibe rooted in recency bias.

Edit: And to your point about voting out judges - well, some would say that's a good thing, but more importantly most judges at the state level are usually voted in or have term limits along with recall procedures (so it's not even clear how your original hypothetical of a governor appointing sympathetic judges would work in practice since governors don't appoint judges usually, but whatever). We are talking about state judges, right?

I guess one of my points here is what I said before about fearmongering. You're out here posting about these hypothetical situations that you're afraid of trying to drive Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt when you apparently don't even know how the judicial system works (federal judges vs. state judges, elections vs. appointments, federal law vs. state law, etc.).
Welcome to the World.
> The politically appointed judges in many states are appointed by Democrats.

And in many states they are appointed by republicans. Companies already venue shop to cases to get the judge they want. Why won't this continue to happen?

> a case that is bogged down in the courts is in some ways worse because it is yet another source of uncertainty.

It's not for the companies because while its bogged down, its business-as-usual. The longer they can delay, the better for them.
A few years ago I bought a package of firewood at the grocery store in California which ended up being Estonian Birch. As firewood it was terrible, it was almost impossible to light.

It struck me that there must be some very weird economic situation for it to be profitable to ship poor quality firewood 8000 miles or so for sale.

An in-between category of products are 3d-printed items. Technically "hand-made" (in the sense that anything that you produce yourself is, even if machinery or technology is involved). Almost no one is using their own designs: they're finding models that have permissive enough licensing (many are Creative Commons Share Alike, which permits commercial production)
They're not really designing the item though. They're paying a drop-shipping manufacturer to print/etch a graphic or text into a white-label item.

It's so little effort that the platform has been entirely flooded with low quality garbage.

I suspect most artists (and I used to be one, at one time[0 - 1]), would take advantage of AI tools. I suspect that the posting was really just exhibitionism, on the part of the site owners (I really wouldn't bother with that kind of thing, myself).

But I think that telling people to do a good job "on their own time," kinda sums up the zeitgeist of today's tech industry.

You don't have to see the reason why other people prefer their passions to profit-seeking. There might not even be a reason! That's how passions work.
Effective altruism never had solid footing to begin with. It was nothing more than a ploy to let rich people feel good about being rich (or at least, to convince them that they don't have to feel guilty about everyone they've stepped on over the years).

If these people were actually altruistic, they would be giving away their wealth today.
