Oh thanks that makes sense! Those "flying doctors" already exists in Australia and one of them saved my life 13 years ago : landed on a single lane road on the middle of the desert to pick me and my friend in a thought condition after a car crash. We arrived in the hospital 2 hours later, instead of 12 hours car drive. IIRC it was a small propeller plane looking simple and not so new or fancy. Didn’t remember the flight :( they quickly nailed me to dream after landing.

Is that evidence in the room with us right now?
Neat, any word on getting this working on Arch. I use Majaro now and KDE is okay, but I'd like to try something new.
> Integrated ad blocker, enabled by default. It’s the one thing Firefox can do that Chrome never will.

How would that work exactly ... given that Google pays Mozilla $800M to be the default search engine just so that they can serve ads to Firefox users.

If Firefox enable a default ad-blocker, Google doesn't then generate ad revenue and they would stop paying Mozilla. Mozilla entire org revenue stream would disappear.
Oh, cool two Cortex-M33 cores (4.09 CoreMark/MHz) and two open-source RISC-V Hazard3 cores (3.81 CoreMark/MHz): https://github.com/Wren6991/Hazard3
I've tried switching to Bing multiple times, but everytime I find myself going back to Google
I heard similar things from different people, so looks like it's not everyones taste. But you are right about arc's help is basically not working anymore.
Firefox already has a sidebar and a selection of extensions which put tabs in it, also adding many extra conveniences. For example on the computer I am now using to write this I use Tab Center Reborn which also adds a tab filter field which is very handy.
But you can still call VirtualAlloc(), VirtualProtect(), and LoadLibrary(), so this isn't really a security mechanism, but more of a safety mechanism.

I don't think Windows provides a mechanism to disable creating any further executable pages, although I've seen Chrome do it by hooking those functions (and I know it because I've had to bypass it :)).
Are you suggesting they did or should have relaxed the human-rated spaceflight certification standards for Crew Dragon?
The methodology is simple enough, the issue is the devices.

Sure you can run hardened, stateless linux, but how many SOC's are in your laptop? Those aren't trustable. Your phone's even worse.

Sure meatspace is full of surveillance gear, and has been for years. Face rec/id has been around for a decade longer than people think, plate readers, traffic cams basically everywhere, etc etc. The problem those systems all have is filtering out the signal from the noise. They don't know that person-X is someone to watch until they're tagged. Once they're tagged, it's basically over, but, how do you tag them? Right now, that's mostly manual, and based on external data. If there is no external data, there's no risk of being tagged.

The real question is, can someone remain normal enough while not generating suspicion while they're up to no good. I'd say they certainly can, most don't, but, it's far from an impossibility.
I've added commands to Tridactyl that expand/collapse the tabs I'm on in Tree Style Tabs, using their javascript API. Does Sidebery have anything like that?
Lots of nice improvements here. The RISC-V RV32I option is nice -- so many RV32 MCUs have absurdly tiny amounts of SRAM and very limited peripherals. The Cortex M33s are a biiig upgrade from the M0+s in the RP2040. Real atomic operations. An FPU. I'm exited.
Much as those things sound nice, I feel like the GP in that a DE is very much a user-focused tool, knowing it has nice developer-friendly internals is a distant second to having a good interface.
The same way they already do with humans coders whose unit tests were developed by exactly same flawed processes:

Mediocrely.

Sometimes the current process works, other times the planes fall out of the sky, or updates causes millions of computers to blue screen on startup at the same time.

LLMs in particular, and AI in general, doesn't need to beat humans at the same tasks.
Oh wow, thanks a bunch! I wrote this :)

Cool to see this show up here.
Wild-ass guess; but I assume there is a lot of overlap in the functionality between the type of cores which would mean only a small amount of extra space is required for the additional RISC-V instruction set support as opposed to having distinct CPU cores.
Slightly longer stops solves the problem. :-/

I think you misinterpreted my comment. I was not advocating for killing. Killing is an unnatural process.
If you move it in-house, I would recommend changing your application process to include a video portion. Unless they can point to a long track record of open source.

All engineers are utilizing GPT to write their resumes/cover letters.

The written word and keyword references are no longer a signal of ability.

Give them a couple of questions to answer on video.

Record the time when the questions were displayed vs when their video cover letter/resume was submitted to ensure they're organically answering the questions.

Otherwise, be prepared to sift through literally 1,000+ applicants.

Hiring has slowed in the U.S. I wonder if in part it's because everyone now can submit a very qualified resume and it's become increasingly difficult to differentiate good vs bad candidates? Especially given the increase in applicants.
Bitcoin Core's migration to the CMake buildsystem
It's sarcasm.

I think it's misguided to point at the failures of one chronically underfunded public function to say that another would also perform poorly, unless the point is to say we would probably underfund public health care as well.
I maintain an open source HTTP client [1] which uses libcurl under the hood. Super reliable, simple to use, full-featured (HTTP/3, IPv6...): I'm super happy that we choose libcurl (through some Rust bindings)!

Ok, so would it be legal for Apple to ship Apple Intelligence in the EU, or would it be illegal unless they allowed e.g. Google to plug in and provide the same features?

I've read the DMA cover to cover twice and I honestly can't tell you. There are pretty convincing arguments in either direction as far as I can tell. I don't think it would be possible for Apple (or anyone else) to know the legality before the trial.
Workplace had me move from Brave to Chrome and I was surprised that Chrome didn't have this feature. Brave's implementation felt like it was already a native part of Chromium, I guess they took existing parts and re-oriented it as I was surprised to learn there wasn't some experimental flag to enable it in Chrome either.

>They are typically not the cause but a symptom of a failing company.

This isn't true in most cases. PE has killed many profitable companies by taking deliberate steps which resulted in the companies directing their incomes to servicing unsustainable debts rather than running or improving the businesses.

For example the eldercare company ManorCare was profitable and successful prior to being bought and destroyed by a PE group. The PE firm loaded ManorCare with the debt that the PE firm used to buy it in the first place and then sold ManorCare's real estate and forced ManorCare to rent it back, causing ManorCare to spend $500 million/year on rent[0]

Forcing companies to take on debt and sell their assets is a standard part of the PE playbook and inevitably ends in the death of the company regardless of how it was performing prior to being taken over.

> One manager who loved to come up with theories as to why our team was "cheating". He somehow triggered an "investigation" into his theory as to why his team didn't solve tickets and others did. That investigation found found that his very specific theory as to how other teams were messing with the number of closed tickets .... that his team was the only one playing that game. It was so bizarre.

People tend to accuse others of things they would do if they were in that position.
I assume they meant "without" instead of "with".
NPM is particularly nasty because they've solved the issue of transitive dependencies having mismatched versions. This removes one of the biggest immediate pain points caused by having very large dependency graphs so you only feel the pain later on. Because of that you get this emergent behavior of unusually large dependency graphs in a lot of NPM packages.

Bezos is very far from sainthood, but he is also not nearly as interesting. I make tiktoks about project management and management in general. Elon's loud management-by-exhortation style is a vivid lesson in how not to do it.

There is a fascinating contrast between his successes, like Model 3, and subsequent failures in which he stopped listening and, apparently, started telling people around him to just make it work, as in Cybertruck.

I've also covered how the 787 project and the Boeing CEOs of that time are the origin of a lot of Boeing's trouble today, and how Jack Welch was an epic bullshitter, but Elon puts them in the shade for the number of fascinating examples. What's interesting about Tim Cook is how he can make large bets, lose some of them, like the Apple Car, and not create drama, but it's not as interesting as dead chimps and useless holes.
Putting this more bluntly:

Starship: "We expect this to fail, but we will learn valuable lessons." -> Fails -> "That was fun! Next!"

Starliner: "We expect this to succeed." -> Fails. "Well, shit."

This realization is what made me get my life together. I recognized that striving for success as an artist requires you to abandon the rest of your life while counting on being an outlier, and no rational person would bet their life on that.

I still make art and I still swing for the fences sometimes, but I decided not to starve and my life is all the better for it.
Looks great. I'm very happy that they are letting me get rid of their ugly brown UI. I might switch back to POP for this.

They do not address the question at all. Please write an answer yourself.
This "switchable cores" thing has been appearing in some products for a few years now, for example Sipeed SG2002 (LicheeRV). The area occupied by the actual instruction core is usually pretty small compared to peripherals and internal memories.
That's not why he is suing them. It is an anti trust suit where he is alleging illegal conspiracy.

Intel has the Gaudi 3 to address the AI market.

Intel still has a large part of x86 market share.

They are bleeding money because they are trying to catch up in the Fab business. If they succeed with fabs, they should be very profitable again.

At the moment even they use TSMC to produce their best chips.
Look at how the icons at the bottom have almost zero margin to the overly rounded sides.

Why is it so hard for anyone outside of Apple to make a visually appealing GUI? It just requires a little bit of taste and sense of aesthetics. I am baffled that this hasn't happened yet. The closest thing so far is probably ElementaryOS.
Add NoScript and Firefox will be much faster than Chrome. It will make you aware of how much untrusted code poorly developed sites expect you to run on their behalf.
All software that interops with people, other businesses, APIs, deals with the physical world in any way, or handles money has cases that require human intervention. It's 99.9% of software if not more. Security updates. Hardware failures. Unusual sensor inputs. A sudden influx of malformed data. There is no such thing as an entirely autonomous system.

But we're not anywhere close to maximally automated. Today (many? most?) office workers do manual data entry and processing work that requires very little thinking. Even automating just 30% of their daily work is a huge win.
yeah certainly, I skipped that part for now because I know people don't like to give up emails for dodgy websites. eventually adding auth so you can save auth tokens, keep files alive for longer and pagination/search features. xls/xlsx coming soon too.

my other rest site [0] has authentication so I'll do the same.

You'll find it's usefulness relative to the width/resolution of your screen and the amount of tabs you tend to have open at once.
Portland Oregon as well. There are a variety of apps that use the API to get arrival info from Tri Met, and all train stops, and many bus stops, have displays.
It's called "Tab Containers" and Firefox was the first browser to have the feature
DTrace's bytecode machine is also very very limited. eBPF's is much less limited. Limiting the scope of what a probe can do is very important.

Adafruit has a couple of LiPo charger boards, but they don't have the integration you'd want: you'd need a separate USB cable for charging.

ISTR that some of their ESP32 boards do, though. i.e., charge LiPo through the USB port.

Also, I think some of the Heltec boards do. I have one here with a JST battery connector, but I haven't used it in so long, I'm not sure. I think this is the one I have: https://heltec.org/project/wifi-kit32-v3/
The correct comparison in this case is probably Amtrak, which has much lower on time rates.
Does anybody know if the software has been archived?
Can someone explain what I said incorrectly? Assuming you can either be killed by someone else, be killed in an accident, or commit suicide, the rationality of living forever appears correct. Avoiding being killed by someone else is generally rational, because they probably don't have your best interests in mind, demonstrated by them trying to kill you. Being killed in an accident won't help anyone. That leaves suicide, and I'm not sure who says suicide is generally rational.

I can think that if you are going to be tortured to give up the secret to destroying the world it might be rational, but that's not "with all else equal" and is not a generally common situation.

Otherwise, it comes down to the simple math of "the next number" or the "successor" function, where applying the function "wanting more to be alive tomorrow than dead tomorrow" to the current day, applying the successor function, then repeating, ends up with an outcome of "infinity".
Firefox has profiles. It's just not very user-friendly.

But Chrome tabs don't even have horizontal scrolling. If you work with, say, more than 10 tabs, Chrome squashes them, and the more tabs you have open, the less usable it becomes. Meanwhile, Firefox has horizontal scrolling and neat (geeky) options for navigating lots of tabs.

It would probably be cheaper still for nasa to employ all of starliners engineers outright, sans management and shareholder profit making. Plus they’d have their own in house rocket design arm building stuff at cost.
I comment and then read the article
The change in sentiment, even here, on "AI" has been dramatic.

Even six months ago, there were still "AGI" discussions happening, talks about how "over" it was for white-collar jobs etc.

Seems there's an increasingly negative sentiment around "AI" now, especially (or largely) among the non-technical general public.
The Modern Antitrust Paradox
Sure but that forces you to group options in ways that don't always make sense discursively and push some alternatives down the tree, and we all know that arguments that are near the root get the most attention.
You must have a very good memory, then. I was made painfully aware of how not great mine was yesterday.

I met this woman through my wife. It turns out I already met this person 5 years ago, because we share a common friend. She remembered me quite clearly, but I had completely forgotten her, as well as the event where we met.

So far all good, it was 5 years ago after all. However, she also told me that we had met before that! 20 years ago! Through a work acquaintance of mine this time. We apparently did some hiking through the countryside together. I remember nothing of that. I don't remember that second acquaintance either. Apparently it was the same situation 5 years ago; she told me all of this, I apologized for forgetting her and everything around meeting her. And then I forgot her. And that was only the first time.

To me my memory is not a "bucket that eventually gets full". It's more like a "dark corridor". Memories are on the walls. As I move forwards, the parts of the corridor behind me get eventually darker, until only the brightest memories remain visible. I have forgotten most of my highschool classmates. I have forgotten most of my past coworkers. I have some memories from my childhood, still. But only the very bright ones. And they are continuously dimming.

I am completely fine with this. I am still me. I think forgetting is part of what makes us human.

Or at least, of what makes me human.

Going back to this person that I forgot twice. Apparently she remembers everyone she has ever met, even if just once. I have met at least another person with this capacity. I can't but consider those people freaks of nature, and in consequence a potential danger for society. We should watch them closely. And perhaps we should watch you closely as well.

At least until I forget all of you again.

I have no doubt in my mind that my memory will never "fill up". More like the opposite: the danger is that it empties too fast at some point.

> Every major world religion asserts that it is evident that humans have an afterlife. There is abundant evidence of some kind of life after death.

I'm sorry but I can't see how the first sentence supports the second in any meaningful way. It's easy and pointless to shit on religion and I'm not doing that here, but "evidence" is something other than common stories.

Consider that the evidence for a non-evolutionary origin of humanity is equally abundant, in religious traditions. Would you say that evolution is still dubious because so many traditional beliefs exist that don't include it? Would you hold up "we're molded from clay, because a lot of people said so" next to centuries of living and fossil evidence for an evolutionary origin of humanity and say, "Well, they both have a lot of evidence."?

I believe the source of your confusion is that death is such a black box. But the failure of current science to pierce that veil doesn't make non-evidence-based theories any more valid. It only means, "this is still unknown." Could there be an afterlife? Sure, it's possible, but there's not yet any significant evidence for one.
Lots of applications don’t require radios, but the previous series of RP2040s had a “W” variant that had wifi and BLE. We may yet see a RP2350W.

Weight of paint depends a lot on the pigment. Some pigments are pretty dense a lot pigments are various types earth or metal oxides. Think like iron oxide (a dark red or brownish yellow) there are even heavier pigments. Organic pigments tend be lighter. Titanium dioxide is a very common pigment though since it is the main white pigment used for paint these days. If you have felt weight of titanium white vs lead white (only pretty much used for art these days) for instance you can tell the difference.

Then you have some things that are not a pigment per se but are there to help with flow and other things but are not light either like kaolin clay. Also they can be used as filler to make the paint cheaper if used in excess.
Switzerland seems so practical. If this sort of thing was done in America there would be endless whining and it would be rolled back.
I guess we have different ideas about "context".

You're telling me that something very popular, with high brand loyalty, is actually abusive and the people who are loyal to it should not only stop buying but organize some kind of boycott. Which is just strange.

In your hypothetical, nobody would go there. Nobody buys $1000 burgers, nobody likes abusive service. But, in your hypothetical, somehow this is not just a successful restaurant but one of the most successful in the world. Because... people are forced to go there?

I honestly am trying to be as charitable as possible and I just can't see any sense in your position. As far as I can tell you just dislike some brands and are angry that other people like them and refuse to stop buying their products, even though you think they should for their own good. It's very convoluted.

No, the idea that you can insert a single frame into standard video formats and have it subliminally influence you is an urban legend.

You can try it with any video editing software. A single frame at 30 or 60 fps is extremely visible. It's not passing by your conscious awareness undetected. The flash is obvious and you can easily read a word of text or recognize a logo or someone's face.
I have used it a few times for debugging, as long as you are aware that it's not a guarantee that your changed code works perfectly when run from scratch, it can be useful to iterate changes to a single function without a whole compile>build>debug cycle, just edit the code and see if it changed the behaviour in the debugger.
