I'm sure you've seen substantial growth from working on hard problems, identifying key tentpoles, finding an opening, and moving fast to ensure user satisfaction via quick syncs and fluid processes.

In all seriousness, good on you. It's nice to see tech being used for unambiguous let-humans-have-more-fun purposes. (I look forward to eating my words in five years when you pivot to enterprise SaaS for growth purposes and Cisco is offering you as an employee benefit.)
The EU passed a statue (No 2271/96) in 1996 that blunted the US' ability to sanction EU companies for trading with Cuba.

The statue gives EU companies the ability to recover damages caused by the Helms-Burton Act. They even threatened to counter-sanction US companies making Title III complaints.

The result of multiple countries passing similar blocking statues was that the Helms-Burton Act had been suspended by every President from 1996 until 2019 when Trump decided to reactivate it.

According to an EU report on the statue, there have been threats of US legal action, but no mention of any EU company has actually been sanctioned.
Global IT outage hits payroll systems risking late wages for millions
Don't beat yourself up about it. George Hotz thought NVIDIA Inception pricing for Ada RTX 6000s was $1,500, instead of $1,500 discounts, and launched a whole company based on the misunderstanding.
I don't know why you think this: the French are explicit (and proud) of both their cultural chauvinism and their willingness to integrate those who fully assimilate into it. Assimilation is required, but it's also sufficient (in contrast with the US, where it's neither required nor sufficient).

This one has pretty heavy nostalgia for me. Resedit is a big part of why I'm in software development today. My first forays into "hacking" were to use Resedit to modify some nagware to skip the pay screen. It was a definite peek behind the curtain moment that made me much more curious about computing.

Oh, I didn't know that it was just a config file, thanks. I'm not sure if this makes it better though. The idea that an update to a single text file used by a third party Windows service can take down the whole OS permanently is a bit extreme, no?

Windows BSODs have been a reality for a long as it has existed. There's no reason at this point any third party software should be able to cause it. Hardware fault? Sure. Badly installed or configured driver? Crazy.

CrowdStrike incident leaves China largely untouched
Apparently the "virus" definition data (whatever it is called) can be auto updated while the computer is booting. Not sure if the intention was for it to update before or after Crowdstrike is activated, but there is a racing condition where on some machines the update will execute before activating after a lot of attempts.

At this point they're certainly allowed to be surprised, annoyed (pick whatever word you want to describe it) that it's still happening. No need to be snarky, pal.
LLMs do contain conceptual representations and LLMs are capable of abstract reasoning. This is trivially provable by asking them to reason about something that is a) purely abstract and b) not in the training data, e.g. "All floots are gronks. Some gronks are klorps. Are any floots klorps?" Any of the leading LLMs will correctly answer questions of this type much more often than chance.

You are completely ignoring the fact that some countries, some airlines and some 911 centers, many hospitals were not taken down. The reason? The diversity and phased deployments I am arguing for.

> Also you are still ignoring, that for many of these companies they have not have a choice due to compliance requirements.

They have a choice. They could run their system properly. You are arguing for reasons of compliance...When this incident is the clear demonstration being compliant has nothing to do with being secure and robust.
My $0.02: https://flyte.org/ - you write the python functions, they take an s3 (or similar) path to the images, and flute handles the orchestration for you, also allowing you to control how much compute is thrown at the problem, which essentially gives you your queue.

That's honestly not all that unfeasible if SpaceX gets Starship reuse down. Assuming we get launch costs down to a few million, it won't even be that expensive relative to the size of the problem. And launches can be parallelized pretty well - just build more launch pads.

The cool thing about reusable rockets is that even for a project like this you're not going to be rocket construction limited. If every rocket can launch 20 times (and that's pessimistic!) you only need to build 300 of them. And say you have ten launch pads, you only need to launch once a week per, to grind through the problem in a decade.

And that's all of course assuming SpaceX don't manage to scale the platform up further, improve cargo capacity etc.

It's a civilizational project, sure, but it wouldn't even be as expensive as the Apollo program.
We use a custom tool that bases everything on markdown for this type of thing. It also integrates Jupyter notebooks. It is mostly very effective but the limitations of Markdown certainly grate.

Jeez!

The post title is "Aro, Zig's new C compiler", not just about Aro or Zig. In fact, just by virtue of being about Aro, it is also about C compilers - as the title clearly says, whether you (pedantically) like it or not. And D is a language that is used as a better C too, apart from other things. In fact, lang C -> lang D, says something significant to this discussion, right?

>Could you draw a comparison for those who came here for Zig and not D?

Sigh.

More pedantic talk.

Shall we start drawing Venn diagrams to clarify things?

Is it not possible that there can be different groups of people, some of whom are interested in Zig, others in Zig and Aro, others in C compilers generally, and others in D with some of those groups overlapping? That's what Venn diagrams are meant to show.

PalmOS borrowed a lot from Mac OS - not surprisingly, given that two out of three of the Palm founders were Apple alums. Both Mac OS and PalmOS were designed for 68k processors, used A-traps for system calls, named those calls with CamelCase, organized them into subsystems called "Managers"...
This isn't the 1900s, dude.

If supply for labor goes a bit down, wages will increase a bit, and then companies will be incentivized to replace these bad jobs with automation.

Those jobs going away, and wages going up, is a good thing not a bad thing.

As few people should be doing those bad jobs as possible, and for the ones that do them, they should be paid more.

But you need the friction for the brain drain, otherwise it will just be anyone. Brain or no brain. I’m an immigrant and I can tell you that without the difficulties you’d just get people that would save enough to buy a ticket and land here and just “figure it out”. There is already lots of surplus in the retail area.

Google about Walter to know what other stuff he has done before, like you know, the Zortech C++ compiler.
Qualcomm makes its AI models available to app developers

The premise of the comment that you are responding to is that because of supply and demand, and because these people are desperate, it reducing the wages for those jobs and makes those bad jobs worse.

Thats horrible and less people should be doing those bad jobs, and the wages should increase! Desperate immigrants doing those jobs is just people pushing off bad things to a vulnerable population, and the world would be better off if those jobs got automated away entirely.

"Whether to allow duplicate object entry names." This is interesting. I just did a test and it look like `jq` evaluates `{ "a": 1, "a": 2 }` to just `{ "a": 2 }`. I have always thought that this was invalid JSON. This mean that the order of keys in JSON do have some semantic meaning.

That is not an example of a LLM being capable of abstract reasoning. Changing the question from "What is the capital of United States?" which is easily answerable to something completely abstract and "not in the training model" doesn't change that LLM's are just very advanced text prediction, and always will be. The nature of their design means they are incapable of AGI.

Does free software have academic title IX courts? Even while there may be legit complaints against someone, I'm very suspicious of FOSS governance being abused as a network of star chambers of people with a tremendous amount of influence on the security and privacy of user machines.

I'm typing this on a freshly installed copy of GrapheneOS, which has special support for sandboxing Google Play Services as a normal app. It works flawlessly.

You do have to buy a Pixel, ironically the only phones with good enough manufacturer support for Graphene to support them. And be willing to spend 10 minutes clicking through the installer. But it's quite an upgrade from a stock Google image.
Just so we are out in the open here, this person thinks that a gay man(me) who is concerned about children being asked "you might be trans and thats okay" is basically, in question because children cannot possibly understand something as fluid as sexual emotion let alone something as synthesized as gender identity. He is referencing this post where I commented a long honest retort to basically never ending agenda to make everything about being trans.

The post and article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34753240

My comment:

I am gay, 34, and I still can't understand HOW doctors can justify severing breasts, a penis, or altering chemical systems permanently in someones body to make them feel better about themselves, especially in youth! This is like treating Schizophrenia by playing into their delusions to give them comfort. There is also something extremely concerning about gender dysphoria or being trans becoming essentially a pop culture within more blue-leaning states while other states have statistically low occurrence of gender dysphoria(which is in line with modern psychiatry and historically). Are blue-leaning states producing trans people, why are most trans people in the USA under 25(by more than 43%!)? Is this our generations medical grift(snake oil)? In 40 years will we have a derogatory reference to it in our history books(gender med)?

Sounds super insensitive, but I don't mean to be. I feel awful for these people that are truly miserable and need help, but there is more going on here from a crony-capitalism and big-pharma perspective than people are willing to admit. It seems like every where I turn I am trying to be convinced it IS the answer and Gay or Lesbian people are also being forced to get in line on what is happening(if you're a gay male who only dates other biological males, you're transphobic...yeah)...

I feel this is so damaging to a large group of a future generation of our youth and creating contention even between communities that are otherwise united on the other 98% of issues that we face.

Oh yeah, I sound like such a hater having concerns for children as well as expressing deep concerns for people who are deeply troubled with their grip on their sexual identity and me having that conflict internally while expressing my own emotions and concerns is somehow forbidden.

You are acting deranged and I ask that you just calm down.

> require proof of citizenship/legal residence for housing, jobs, etc.?

Gestapo comparisons aside, you do understand that this is a significant deviation from the status quo in the US, right? The US can't even agree on a unified federal ID; what makes you think we're anywhere close to accepting a world in which the government is a party to civil matters like leases?

(And to be clear: enforcing this kind of introspection absolutely would require an enforcement agency with unprecedented visibility into the paychecks and housing statuses of every single person in this country.)
This just does not seem plausible. Sure, I understand the claim that Cuban statistics are falsified because the Cuban government is obviously biased about whether "Cuba is good", but the claims about Cuban emigration are coming from groups that are very distinctly anti-Cuban themselves; why should I trust them to tell the truth about Cuba, particularly when lying about your enemies is incredibly effective, common, and completely unpunished?
I'm not saying they don't test them, I'm saying they don't do code tests, as in unit tests and all that. I have no idea what they do, I'm just speculating here, but if in fact they do no testing at all, then I agree that would be pretty bad.I would think their testing would be for how well it detects things and/or performance impact and I'd expect it to be automated deployment (i.e.: test cases are passing = gets deployed), i guess they don't have "did the system crash" check in their pipelines? In your experience at MS, did they test for system/sensor availability impact?

The hard thing about this is that it's not all software. Just look up what can go wrong with "the handy."

The thing is a pinch hazard and a user could get their scrotum sucked into the slit of the machine, or get pinched as it vigorously slides back down.

Just look up the reports of what can go wrong --it's not pretty. ("do not press it on your scrotum" is the frequent community refrain.)

AFAIK, most of these devices do not have pressure sensors and feedback mechanisms. They're output only.

No amount of software develpper empathy will help as when things go wrong it will happily slice your genitals off and keep chugging away.
I haven't worked in a Windows environment for a long time so was a little surprised how much of the online commentary suggests people in that environment are comfortable or at least resigned to the necessity of unattended live third party updates on critical infrastructure. I can't see any justification for that on the *nix side of things and hope that culture never transfers over.
I've been using tiny dried shrimp (bought from a Vietnamese grocery) and a little extra fish sauce as a sort-of substitute and I've been very happy with the final product.
You're right, but "testing" could mean anything, you'd need to have the foresight to anticipate the config crashing the program. Is it common to test for that scenario with config files?

No way is this true. Look at this list of countries by biggest trade partners (import & export) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_leading_t....

You really think countries will willing choose to trade with the USA over the rest of the world when it isn't the biggest destination for their exports nor their major source of imports? Why would they do that exactly?

I don't disagree with any of that. I'm saying that normal Linux doesn't want to optimize for free as in freedom/libre, it wants to be a usable and modern kernel. The license it uses helps it with doing that, but Linus has been clear that the project doesn't care about much more than that.

It's sad but it is a tradeoff. I wish it wasn't and that most hardware and software was "libre", but that's not the case so there's a trade off to be made.

Power wants to avoid accountability, and therefore it avoids transparency wherever possible. No surprise there, and no different from what happens in corporate boards where consensus is established by board members glancing meaningfully at each other, so the agreement doesn't enter the record.

I've long observed the governing bodies of GNOME, Mozilla, and Wikimedia (whose composition doesn't reflect the composition of the community, to put it mildly) to act like mediocre corporate boards, and I'm sure the same power structures and patterns of behavior can be found in other large open source projects.
