We are not remotely saying this. And there are no "messengers" shouted, and there's no hatred. We are saying that tools provided in common linux distros allow you to setup remote control if you have the password and physical access. This is not being bad, it's just that the tools are powerful and included out of the box.

As for including an opaque binary, I would expect way better from Linux distros. An opaque binary would be scandalous.

But on Android? You already can't trust lineage or aosp because of the proprietary blobs you need on any smartphone for the drivers. Stock Android? Add all the crapware from the manufacturer.
Add to this the crap added by the carrier. The phone is already full of inscrutable crap, it's hopeless.

Some deactivated stuff seems like a total non event in comparison to all this, including the crap you can't even disable and that does you don't know what and sends who knows what to who knows who. The whole situation is concerning and scandalous, but not much more with that additional, deactivated opaque stuff.
As I mentioned in a sibling comment, you don't lock them in, you just set off major alarms and send an armed response if the door ever opens without badge activation. This presupposes some things about the facility and the facility operator, though.
Parsing: The merit of strictly typed JSON
Discrete Mathematics and It's Applications by Kenneth H. Rosen helped me get an A in CS70 (Discrete Math and Probability) at UC Berkeley this past summer.

The textbook is quite large, but the content is very accessible. I'm also self-taught, finally taking formal math/physics coursework in my 30s to fill in the gaps.

Another amazing resource has been California Community Colleges. So far every math teacher I've had has been extraordinarily passionate. Most math classes have an async/online section, and it's pretty common for adults to take the classes just for fun/self-improvement.
Has someone said it's different? It will just become more viable to do these scams now, as LLMs can generate plausible text.
This feels just because while people who know just bit about plants might do some dumb things, mushrooms are a thing that anyone who knows a bit about plants knows not to screw with because it's easy to poison oneself and the results are horrible.

My father was a moderately known evolutionary biologist and he advised his students encountering an unknown plant and curious whether it was edible to "try it and see". But this was for a flowering plant. Most mushrooms can't be dealt with that way.
Their 2023 annual report does report an “adjusted EBITDA margin” of 47% for 2023. But their net income margin is 13%. They are borrowing money to upgrade their network for each new technology, so I think it’s fair to include depreciation and interest when measuring the profitability of their business.
Just because an author of the New York Times article made some angry tweets and some people disagree with her narratives doesn't mean that they were fabricated. That's besides the point though. If you're happy with the Intercept's reporting that gets heavily cited by the article you posted, does that mean you're happy to pay for it?
Not different at all. But who would go through the pains of manually making up a mushroom identification book, while perhaps being quite clueless about the topic, on the faint hope of selling a few copies? Knowledge is not the bottleneck.

Chances are the lazy authors using an AI generator would actually have known quite enough to write a reasonably safe-ish identification book, despite their laughably fake credentials, they just would not be good at writing and took the shortcut to make up for that.

It's like killing someone driving a heavy SUV while under the influence, vs killing someone pushing a heavy SUV while under the influence. Both are bad, but one is infinitely more likely to happen than the other.
It’s interesting to see how different the production facilities seem between Blue Origin and Space X. Blue origin gives off the same vibe as ULA - everything is immaculate and perfectly organized. Whenever Dodd does a Musk interview it seems like they’re totally winging it.

Wearing a clean suit to inspect the second stage while Musk is welding everything together outdoors seems like the perfect example. I’m far from a rocket expert, so I could be totally off base here.
I think I found some bug. After a brief conversation, the AI began to post several big walls of text just concatenating several different possible ways to complete the initial phrase using "&" character as a delimiter. Anyway, it was not possible to interact much as after few messages, I was greeted with a pop up asking me for payment to continue.
The bit where they say Amazon demanded that they return the book by special delivery or face having their entire Amazon account terminated is where the point at which it became clear to me that this is ragebait - Amazon simply do not work that way in the U.K. - returns are via prepaid label that they provide, and they don’t terminate your account if you fail to return a product, you just don’t get refunded.
Speaking as a manager, I’d much rather my team(s) tell me the plan is pure fantasy and a total joke than blow smoke up my arse. At least I have information to take to the other teams.

Generally, I’ve learned to accept that non-managers won’t communicate as well as managers because that’s the manager’s job: I’ll put the effort in to figure out what’s being said.

The only time I’d see someone as being difficult is, after bringing concerns, making a decision they don’t agree with, they continue to spout off instead of making an honest effort to get things done.

Giving the author the benefit of the doubt, I think they did the right thing: raised concerns, tried to make it work anyway, and were let down by the leadership team. I’m willing to believe this is what happened because I’ve played TW games and noticed how they just seem to get worse. I’ve also watched experienced TW streamers rip into the faults at a mechanical level and how they’ve persisted for years while CA progressively seems to put out games nobody wants.

> The EU also has very strict requirements for residency, including language and skill requirements, while the US takes in foreigners without any education, skills, or money to support themselves

I thought the US required a visa, same like the EU. Your subjective opinion that the US allows everybody but the EU is too strict might be wrong, have you thought about that. Here is, for example, info how to get a worker visa for Sweden:

https://immigration-portal.ec.europa.eu/sweden-employed-work...

"If you wish to work in Sweden as an employed worker for more than three months, you must have:

- a work and residence permit; and

- a valid passport.

Workers in certain sectors need not apply for a work permit."

Are those the "very strict" EU requirements you were referring to?

You also didn't answer my question, we have 24 official languages, how many do you have?

The fact is that the EU has a combined 30 million immigrants, and the US has 46 million. Hardly a difference to warrant your false statement that the EU: "barely allows immigration", would you not agree?

> Norway is frequently mentioned by US leftists as a country we should emulate. Not even 5.5 million people, fewer than the single US state of Massachusetts, with the overwhelming majority white natives.

Have you heard of Vermont? A state with 94% Caucasian population. You called Europe a "white monoculture" (although we speak 24+ languages) based on Norway, one of the many countries in Europe (keep in mind Norway is not in EU) comprises of, what does that make Vermont?

It reveals you have no idea of immigration, what countries the EU comprises of (Norway is not in EU), and haven't checked the stats showing we have more cultures, official languages and ethnicities than the US.

> A Harvard study tried to measure this by looking at what happened to researchers when a colleague died. The loss of an immigrant brainbox reduced co-workers’ productivity (measured in patents) by nearly twice as much as the loss of a native. From this, the study estimated that immigrants in America, though only 14% of the population, are responsible for a colossal 36% of innovation.

1) What the hell is a brainbox?

2) What does the death of a colleague have to do with innovation?

3) Can you really measure innovation with "# of patents"? By that measure, Panasonic is the most innovative company in the world.

And? Very few countries have actually had surpluses, especially for extended periods of time, and so have not ever been able to pay down their debt.

Researchers make breakthrough in fight against Covid
The linked PDF (Storm-2035 [1]) from Microsoft is more detailed and interesting than the blog post. However, what's missing from the reports is how they detected those operations and how they tied them to different groups. There's a lot of claims being made without showing all of the supporting evidence.

To give them the benefit of the doubt, they likely want to keep their detection methods secret to make circumvention more difficult. And it all sounds totally plausible of course. But at the same time, a degree of skepticism is warranted because Microsoft has a huge incentive to fearmonger about AI so they can lock it down and capture the market. And what better way is there than to use the usual bogeymen to do so.

I'm really curious to know what type of bank errors you are talking about. If they are true errors then they should not be biased either way. i.e. sometimes they would be biased on your favor. But if they are always biased in their favor then maybe they are not really errors?
If you replace the Object-Oriented mechanism for encapsulation with some other mechanism for encapsulation then there's probably no reason for this taboo.

But in 99.999999% of real-world projects, anemic object-oriented code disregards encapsulation completely, and so business logic (the core reason why you're building the software in the first place) gets both duplicated and strewn randomly throughout the entire code project code.

Or in many cases, if the team disregards encapsulation at the type level then they're likely to also disregard encapsulation at the API/service/process level as well.

> So are small children.

No - children have brains, same as adults. All they are missing is some life experience, but they are quite capable of applying the knowledge they do have to novel problems.

There is a lot more structure to the architecture of our brain than that of an LLM (which was never designed for this!) - our brain has all the moving parts necessary for reasoning, critically including "always on" learning so that it can learn from it's own mistakes as it/we figure something out.

> I'm sure there's a fraud angle where someone signs up with a cheap prepaid card, runs up a huge bill, and then the business has no recourse. Though I'm not familiar with Lambda Labs or their billing.

I work at Lambda Labs. This is basically the reason. Fraud has been a problem and these are attempts at us granting resources only to legitimate accounts. We have struggled with people spinning up resources and not paying for them, which is detrimental to our business.
Do you have proof or did you mean "as it's a brand new account then it's probably made up"?

The difference between those two things is rather important.

If an incompetent bad actor wrote a book about web development best practices, without any knowledge of the frontend, even a layperson would quickly realize it was nonsense.

An LLM writing the same would instead create a plausible but wrong book. A layperson could be tricked by this – crucially wrong sentences would be sandwiched in between pages and pages of superficially right ones.

There is a vast ocean of difference between these two. Producing something plausible with no foreknowledge of the subject matter became possible.
Honestly, mostly they were vanilla misunderstanding of the language being compiled.

Some people would rather blame the compiler than their own code.

Others were shocked that a compiler could have a bug at all. Because most code is not corner cases, this isn’t a bad default assumption, really, but bugs do happen.
I severely disagree, this is quite short sighted.

The obscene complexity of the rust language (like c++) makes a toolchain beyond anything reasonable to code alternatives: that reason alone is sufficient to avoid it.

You can have as many "features" you want, the anti-feature of absurd/grotesque syntax complexity _alone_ buries it.

There is nothing more to say or argue about. This is dead simple.

Rockwell and WDC had 65C02's up to 4 MHz relatively early on, but the 4 MHz versions seemed to be quite rare. WDC now has 65C02's rated at 14 MHz, but they go quite a bit higher than that if you've got fast enough RAM.

There are some technical details on why a 4MHz Z80 is roughly equivalent to a 1MHz 6502. As always with processor design there are tradeoffs in every decision. The Z80 had a 4-bit ALU, but I'm not sure if that slows it down.

The Z80 has a more complex architecture than the 6502. A 6502 clock cycle is one bus cycle and simple instructions can execute in one clock cycle. For the Z80 a clock cycle is called a T-state, and one machine cycle consists of multiple T-states. A simple instruction like INI takes 4 T-states.

In many of the benchmarks linked in the OP and in my comment, particularly gaming benchmarks, the high-end SKUs show results that are significantly worse than would be expected considering the raw performance of the CPU cores and the performance of lower-end or previous-generation chips on the same benchmarks. The problem appears to be due to the Windows 11 scheduler doing an especially poor job of deciding how to schedule threads onto the processor's 2 dies. This generation has particularly high latency between the dies, so if an application does a lot of inter-thread communication and Windows spreads those threads across cores on different dies, application performance suffers significantly.

It's probably something that will be fixed soon with software updates, and Linux fares much better. But the result is that launch-day benchmarks are much worse than they "should" be.

Credit union deposit rates are usually tied to how much they need deposits, as opposed to what prime/sofr/fed are at. Credit unions whose lending isn’t keeping up with deposits (which is especially common in smaller CUs) will keep rates low to avoid paying a bunch of interest of funds that they can’t use productively.
I think it's good for the world and good for America if we don't siphon off the best and brightest from everywhere else, especially more developing countries.

Dangling green cards in front of the most motivated people from other countries is not better than actually working to develop our own talent, which we're doing an awful job at. Think of how things would be if school funding was something being demanded by industry to develop the best candidates. Instead we have the lucky few and a bunch of people who feel very rightly left behind.

> AGPL requires you only to provide the source code of your fork to its users

The AGPLv3 is exactly the same as the GPLv3, except with the added clause that connecting to a server counts as distribution for the purposes of triggering the right to obtain source code.

That means all the usual GPL copyleft rules apply: if you include an AGPL library in your server binary, the entire binary becomes subject to the AGPL. And being subject to the AGPL, you are obligated to provide access to the source code for your entire server binary to anyone who connects to and interacts with your service across a network.

Quoting from https://www.fsf.org/bulletin/2021/fall/the-fundamentals-of-t... :

> Simply put, the AGPLv3 is effectively the GPLv3, but with an additional licensing term that ensures that users who interact over a network with modified versions of the program can receive the source code for that program...

> These terms cover the distribution of verbatim or modified source code as well as compiled executable binaries. However, they only apply when a program is distributed, or more specifically, conveyed to a recipient...

> The AGPLv3 does not adjust or expand the definition of conveying. Instead, it includes an additional right that if the program is expressly designed to accept user requests and send responses over a network, the user is entitled to receive the source code of the version being used.

I think this is a great take. I'm on board on the HCL hate - it really reminds me of shoe-horning a templating solution into a complex, code level concern - but just removing YAML is not enough. My one caveat to this is a lot of the "platform engineering" products out there right now seem to want to abstract away all concerns behind a UI, which is just replacing YAML with UI problems. What we really need are open-source, cross-language sdks that allow self serving by developers using the tools they already know, but with additional configuration being able to color that settings by more specialized folks in their areas. For instance, an sdk that lets developers say ram is light, medium, heavy, etc. in whatever language they operate in; followed by a review of the sdk and some additional configuration layered on by the ops folks who monitor the entire company's spend and define what light/medium/heavy is. Too many of the platform engineering "solutions" seem to be about vendor lock-in.

Another issue is the US education System.

Yes there is and always will be a need for skilled people from other Countries. But in the US, many High School grads need to be re-taught some basic high-school level courses as freshmen.

This started in the 80s. I remember a couple of profs telling me this.

But many US communities cannot afford to provide a good education for various reasons. To me, the largest reason is no one wants to pay taxes.
