Brazil has strong antitrust laws and can determine that different companies with a common major stakeholder are an "economic group". They have had issues in the past with wealthy people controlling multiple companies and creating an anti-competitive market, so they created these laws to combat such a thing.
Looks to me like there's a reason this vulnerability exists ... for example, to help certain people have a simple way to avoid TSA searches and/or credential checks.
3dfx changed everything, right?
“Crashed” and “dumped” are broadly synonymous when one is crashing or dumping a solid object into the sea, and while the spent rockets may be precisely or even painstakingly dumped into a particular designated area of the sea, that does not necessarily imply that such dumping and/or crashing is what either of us would call “ceremonious”.

And I’m sure you would agree that however precise or painstaking those dumpings/crashings may be, they are certainly no more precise or painstaking than SpaceX’s recovery attempts, which are likewise designed to endanger only the SpaceX unmanned drone ship itself. So this is hardly sufficient to explain why a failed landing attempt is somehow more worthy of governmental scrutiny than not even making the attempt in the first place.
It’s very hard for management, even IT managers, to fully understand what such things mean.

I’ve seen huge issues, like exposed keys, being treated as a small issue. While an outdated js library, or lack of ip6 support being escalated.

I’m sure TSA and their partners wants to downplay potential exposure, I’m also sure it’s hard for a lot of their managers to fully understand what the vulnerability entails (most likely their developers are downplaying their responsibility and pointing fingers at others)
I’ve never used this library before, but I’m very interested to see some examples of its cross-platform GPU compute abilities, if I understand from the link thread that they are now available. Does anyone have a suggestion on where to get started?
Sometimes what matters is voting control, not ownership. If the same entity has >50% control in two companies, the companies may not be seen as fully independent before the law.
Corkscrew, ohh that takes me back to the time I nearly got sacked. The GitHub repo is 8 years old but corkscrew is much older.

I was working at a big place at the time. I had a fairly extensive home lab. I used to practice data migrations on synthetic data at home, provoke failures in my safe home lab env then write scripts to automate the migration while catching all the gotchas I could think of (think disk space filling up mid-migration, that kinda thing).

Anyway, I was using ssh pre commands and netcat (corkscrew makes this way simpler to do, I didn’t learn about corkscrew until afterwards) to punch through from my desk at work to my lab at home so I could copy in my scripts. Big no-no but at the time that was not clear to me at all. I didn’t even consider I might be violating a rule.

They flew a couple of “security officers” to the office I worked at to give me the full shake down… ooops!

A frustrating thing was that the people they flew (at great expense, international flight) were not that technical, one was an ex-cop as I recall. Trying to explain what I was doing and how it worked was pretty tough! Actually the most frustrating thing from my point of view was in my mind I was showing initiative and doing all this free work outside of work and here I was getting threatened with dismissal…

To some extent, the reason business consultancies get paid so much is to be the fall guys when what the client wanted to do all along turns out badly.

However, they're still businesses. If the fall is big enough, or it starts happening reliably enough, they will stop volunteering for certain types of falls.

We need to make "business practices that kill vulnerable people who they're supposed to be helping" a category of fall that is reliably unprofitable.

Well, he is still the CEO, the CTO and Chairman.

In a lot of countries, executives (which Elon is clearly the top most here) have personal legal responsibilities.

Also, if I understand correctly, Musk is playing the game of having no legal entity in Brazil but still to technically stay present in the country (and probably make business but I’m unsure).

IDK if making him pay with another of its companies is legal but in that precise situation, it does feel pretty moral.

On the substance of the case of this censorship conflict, I have not enough information to make my judgment but still, Brazil is a sovereign country with its laws and Twitter have no natural right to be present in Brazil while still not respecting the law.
> Is this for a commercial project? Or if it's an open source kinda thing,

It's very far from business.I don't think it's like an open source project,I don't know. It's just a thought that has been in my head all the time.

The idea is to aggregate information in a field, such as the IT field, but the quality of most of information on the Internet is uneven, so I decided to embed NLP/ML algorithms to filter the data, preferably to filter out "real, useful,interesting" information rather than searching for it myself.

Compared to search engines, I prefer interesting things to appear in front of me rather than me searching with a certain keyword in the search engine.

In fact, many things that I think are interesting or useful to me were things I hadn't known or realized before, and I couldn't express them either, also unexpected.
[kinda like ]
I hope to be pushed some things I didn't know before. If I want to study in depth, I can focus throught the search engine. This is my ideal idea.

Especially if you're hiking alone, in unfamiliar territory, be aware of the weather, terrain, and potential hazards.

A compass, clear sightlines to points of reference, and a paper map can work wonders for orientation.

It's quite possible his things are where they were left and they were missed behind an unrecognized rock in a boulder field. People rarely stop and really look deeply at the path they've taken. The return trip can look quite different (time of day, personal exhaustion, etc.). If you can keep necessary gear on you, it's best. But if you really need to leave something make it dead obvious to find and then a few steps simpler yet. Necessary gear in the context of potential wind and freezing rain includes a decent jacket.

If everyone had prepared for a group trip (a couple hours hiking in the mountains) don't be the one to take off on your own, and try to caution anyone who wants to.

I think trying to reach his hiking party is entirely reasonable. They know best the planned route for the day and where the hiker should be. "can you see/hear (peak/river/waterfall)?" "if your looking at the peak is the sun in front/behind/left/right" of you?" could help reorient someone or make it obvious they went down a wrong side. but there is a tremendous amount of personal responsibility you're taking going off alone in the wilderness.

Apple still does not own its own fabrication capabilities. I assume you mean design capabilities.
True, now that I think back, all it had was a blit function, and nowadays that's not a graphics system. (But back in the old days, I was impressed that it handled alpha blending for me! Fancy!)
It's a shame because the solution is very simple. You have a period of time where people can register interest which is long enough that everyone can do it at their leisure. After this window closes you draw lots. Whoever wins the lottery gets the opportunity to buy (eg by receiving an email with a magic link). If they don't, you draw another person and offer it to them.

Otherwise you have an "auction" where instead of giving the resource to the people willing to pay the most, you give it to the people with the best programming skills (who then turn around and flip it to the people willing to pay the most). Which is pretty unfair, since programming is a specialty, and since presumably we're in a context where giving it to the people who pay the most isn't considered acceptable (or we would just hold an auction).

I believe this is used in parts of the sneaker/fashion industry.

Unless you speak Japanese, you are interacting with a small minority of people that care about interacting with people outside of Japan. Most people living there think it's great to fine, but still better than other countries and especially their neighbors.

The best analogy I can think of is asking a non passport holding American why don't they learn Japanese to attract business from one of the largest economies in the world.
Google partnered with the government a long time ago. The other companies also. That's where the money comes from.
It's interesting engineering problem, I wouldn't imagine LLMs as they currently are could work directly on the whole codebase without breaking it just as often as the APIs. But perhaps you could have it maintain connectors/interfaces for each individual API, such that it can get one very wrong and not ruin the whole program.

You could even have its success depend on a test suite, so that it iterates until the tests pass.

> Think it wasn't til the 3GS came out with a ton of marketing push that it started to gain popularity, and it ended up having more to do with the App Store than the hardware - people did not like those touch screens for the first several years of smartphones. They came out at the height of texting and ringtone era, and we were pretty set in our ways, and it took years to change that behavior.

This was not true per my memory. Literally everyone I knew in their 20s and 30s in NYC was switching to the iPhone 3G as of summer 2008. You had to wait in line to buy it for months.

Unlimited 3G + GPS + touchscreen browser was what made it explode. Broadband internet, in your pocket, with mapping capabilities. It felt like the possibilities were limitless, with new apps and functionality being discovered and released daily.
Hi, thanks for your reply! Yeah I was thinking about something easier for developement. Currently I use docker for most of my pipeline. But if it is possible, I would want to try something else more flexible.

Docker has dockerfile and all but even in 2024 I still have to compile and build stuff inside docker and then run 'docker commit' because building package with Nvidia gpu checking during 'docker build' usually fail for me.

And maybe something free me from the curse of distro. Previously I tried to run omniverse with isaac lab in my pc. Fedora, ubuntu 24.04 all failed. Only ubuntu 22.04 works. Distrobox actually didn't solve that case for me. And Omniverse docker image from nvidia doesn't support GUI. So I have to reinstall ubuntu 22.04 to use it. But currently the gnome is glitching with ubuntu 22.04 and I have to alt+f2 and type r to reset it frequently. I am just too tired to do another reset so I am here venting and looking for something more flexible.

I'll look into nix.dev.
Indigenous Australians really really like drugs. There are rules about how often you can trip, and with whom, but there are magic shrooms over much of Oz, as well as plants with opioid-like effects, such as pituri.

At the time I was lost joy of coding too but I was able to found it again.

One key point was to ignore learning new tech if it was not absolutely necessary and focus just creating new things. I think it all started from Sebastian Lague's video which reminded how beautiful coding can be.

Which is an issue honestly.

Not saying that Brazil have the good definition but it’s pretty infuriating how in US and Europe, you are pretty rarely accused when your company really misbehaves.

I mean, we may have thousands of cases of companies killing people due to bad decisions and executives are mostly never prosecuted.
> There is no guiding hand, metaphorical or literal, choosing how a quantum system evolves.

Indeed, nicely put.

To be even more specific about why not: Bell's theorem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem) shows that, with some reasonable assumptions about locality, quantum mechanics cannot be explained away by a set of hidden variables that guide an "underlying" deterministic/non-random system.
Some Banjulung people also respect shrooms traditionally. There as psilocybin mushrooms through most of the non-arid parts of Australia.

The two parts you quote apply just as much to the GPL as to the AGPL. And virtually every company today uses GPL software in some fashion.

Also, AWS did offer at least one AGPL service, managed MongoDB. They still offer it, Mongo just changed their license precisely because the AGPL didn't protect them from Amazon in the way they were hoping.

Unreal/Unity are not the only solutions. There is also bgfx (https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx), which is quite popular and sokol gfx (https://github.com/floooh/sokol) which I know of. Of course there are many more lesser known ones.

Can it guarantee 1-1? Doesn't Javascript allow looking up fields using a string name? That string could be computed in a complex manner.

> 3. It makes it easier for deliberately-lying officers to craft a falsehood, because they get a preview of "what a computer might easily detect" that they can work with to massage the result.

I think this is really key. The officer is going to see some boilerplate justifications and verbiage and not really consider whether those justifications really apply to this case. "Computer said so" will normalize all sorts of abuses, turning "is that marijuana I smell?" into "Responding officer detected a strong oder of illicit substances (marijuana) from the residence. Male subject #1 did not contest the finding, whereupon the responding officer established probable cause to a search of the residence..."
No, that's a completely different (and in my opinion inferior) product.
Worth noting Godot also has cross platform shaders. Its GDShader language is based heavily on OpenGL shader language though not a 1:1 copy and gets compiled for the target platform. Though for PS5 and XBox you have to work with a 3rd party (Someone released the Nintendo build for anyone who's signed the Nintendo NDA).

Since Elasticsearch changed their license, Loki has also appeared as a competitor and the Grafana machine have released a suite of tools that cover the observability categories. It may also be that the license change encouraged users to look for alternatives and there are more now than just being graylog and Elasticsearch.

Clickhouse has proven to also be a very capable database for logs and there are stacks that use it for log storage.

In #3, the C implementation is not what's memory-safe, that's what I've been trying to say. CHERI is memory-safe, but the C isn't what actually guarantees the memory safety. You can dereference a null pointer on CHERI. The architecture can trap it, but that doesn't change the fact that C actually attempted to do it and therefore would not be memory-safe. Only the system as a whole prevents the memory unsafety.
It really depends on the reasoning for wanting to be remote.

Some people just love not having people around, in which case you really want low average weekly population density within say 5-10km (out of easy visibility and hearing).

Some people are concerned about civilization collapse or civil war or... something (ie, the prepper type). In that case you can imagine population dispersing away from (and possibly towards) major population centers over a period of months, and you want true isolation.
Yes, the pi is perfectly fine for many projects, and in fact I have a couple of old pi's (even the original pi 1!) running tasks, such as listening sensors over bluetooth, pihole as DNS server etc.

The reason I prefer mini-pc's over pi is the x86 architecture and possibility to add more RAM. For maximum flexibility, I mostly run my self-hosted services inside virtual machines that I manage with Proxmox, and pi isn't ideal for that. Admittedly I found even the mini-pc's too limited due to lack of space/pcie slots for a GPU, and ended up with a custom desktop build. That allows me to experiment with stuff like self-hosted AI, and game remotely. Support for ECC RAM and more SSD's was a big plus too.

So, indeed it all depends on what and how much you want to do with the machines.

A new programming model for distributed computing is desperately needed. Something between a full operational system a la Temporal, but without the extreme operational overhead + a sane cooperative runtime like Golang.

I think we're probably too early to build this today. Ray is used at my current job for scaling subroutines in our distributed job system. It's the closest I've seen.
Invasive species? Most of these trail aren't even used?
I think it's nuanced. I'm currently managing an engineering team on an interim basis. During standup I noticed that most engineers were talking about 'elastic' or 'elasticsearch' but one was talking about opensearch. I asked them to clarify that for me and they told me that they transitioned to AWS opensearch but still use the old name for the product often - that might point to the strength of the Elastic brand.

“don’t care to” often hints at a bigger picture, a bigger problem, or a series of small ones… which becomes a larger one. e.g. cannot afford to, be it economically, mentally, physically, emotionally, socially, etc. “don’t care to” is short-hand for multitudes of reasons.
