I would think that people might wish Emacs Lisp would be a more capable application programming language. For example for an editor with such extensive capabilities, it would be useful that the language would provide preemptive scheduled threads and related constructs.

On my old Lisp Machine, Zmacs ran in a multi-threaded Lisp roughly in the early 80s. Multiple Zmacs windows each had their own thread. Applications had their own thread. GC has its own threads. Even the mouse has its own thread. It still works that way.

But you don't need a Lisp Machine OS with threaded Lisp for that. Many current implementations of Lisp support multi-threading. An example is SBCL, a natively compiled Common Lisp, which supports native threads on its platforms. Thus an editor written on top of SBCL could make use of that. IDEs of LispWorks and Allegro CL are also multi-threaded and they have their own implementations of Emacs, written in Common Lisp.

Compare with GNU Emacs, where Emacs Lisp lacks this feature. Wouldn't you want an mail thread not block the rest of Lisp code? Some Lisp action in the REPL not to block the rest of Lisp code?

Multi-threaded Lisp architectures are more complex. Emacs Lisp tried to be simple. But the stuff written in it long ago was outgrowing the provided simplicity. For a capable extension language it was "good enough" for a long time. For an "application development platform" it's not. Lack of multi-threading in Emacs Lisp and the GNU Emacs architecture is an example.
Tech is very far from “everyone who works and pays taxes.” Maybe rent will go down and normal people will be able to live here again.
For the past few weeks I've been using Telegram to create my own cool sticker and when talking with people in whatsapp (eughh) I find myself having trouble finding the words my telegram stickers would mean
I'm just surprised to learn someone is actually reading cover letters in this industry.
wouldn't a healthy - "we screwed up - why is that, how can we fix it" - be the right shift in company culture?

If Boeing officially states "we're fine with both options, NASA you decide" (according to NASA press conference) they should not be blaming anyone from that point. I understand that this comes from a tabloid and might not represent the company but clearly there seems to be a statistical relevant amount of screw ups at Boeing and none of that happening at SpaceX, why the hate, why not learn?
If it's OpenRewrite recipes (not just the AI) making those Java upgrades happen, then Amazon should say so. A quick google search suggests that's likely based on AWS documentation. Nothing wrong with that approach, but it's a wordy announcement to be leaving out such an important clarification.
I found about The Semantic Web about 5 years ago, and since then I've been pulling the thread and I realized it's a lot more than just "machine readable metadata". In particular, it's also about data ownership and control.

You can see what I mean learning about the Solid Protocol, I gave a talk about it a couple of years ago: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kPzhykRVDuI
Using an Old Android as an E-Reader: A More Secure and Flexible Device Than a B
I do hope that moves like this accelerate RISC V development in a significant way. While there are a lot of RISC V cores in the wild, the top end of performance is not great. Way behind in terms of performance per watt. But the upwards trend is clear, all they need is a bit more gusto and it could be a matter of time until they are nipping at ARM/X86's heels.
I have been living on Lexington in the Mission for about a year and I have yet to witness a car breakin. Everyone seems to leave their windows up.
Nice. Cursor just raised 60M. And yet this will eventually be more usable and yet will not see even close to that amount of money. We need a better distribution of money in the system.
Do you get the message limit often? Anthropic seems quite limited compared to OpenAI's unlimited messaging
I don't think GP was claiming that is bad, just that his arrest has nothing to do with E2EE of private chats - at least that's the impression I also got from the media.
The law won't make a difference for us, but it will probably make a difference to the super-market employees being phoned at 6am and asked to take on an extra shift today.
How do they "knowingly" service criminals ? Is there a check box to state that you are a criminal when you message someone ? I just installed Telegram and can't find it.
It is quite striking that no two photos actually look like the same person - crudely similar, but the face shape is all over the place.

I would think this is an especially long “last mile” for training and fine-tuning: this might need a more sophisticated approach than a diffusion model, e.g an initial 2D->3D layer that first creates a 3D representation of the user’s face from a photo.
In this case you where right, and the removal of the additional fields turned out to be a mistake. More often though I see this going the other way, you end up carrying around tables and fields that aren't needed and just muddles the picture. Even worse is "Well we added this field, but we're not using it, so let just stuff something else in there". It can get really ugly really fast.

The article is a little different, because "YES, they do need the calculator, people should know what your service costs up front". If they want to do away with the calculator, then they should restructure their pricing plans, so that it will no longer be required. That just not an IT problem.

The previous poster intentionally mentioned password recovery flow. If you can gain access without your password, than law enforcement can too. If you could only gain access with your password, you could consider your data safe.

because on their front page in giant font they call themselves private and secure and outright say “heavily encrypted”.

it’s their own fault. a better question might be:

why do they keep over and over crying when people call them out for endangering their users? it’s super odd.
TLDR: UUIDv4 is one of several reasonable choices, but if it ends up mattering: you’re rich and famous and can do arbitrary fixes.

Not getting pwned by incrementing href attacks is good, past that, web scale bro.
How about adding "illegal thoughts" to that mix too. It is only one short step away from wearing a monitoring "headband". All subversion grows its first root in the mind of the citizen. Nipping this in the bud through detection and re-education guarantees peace and safety of society and the nation. If you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide.

Don't have to like it but the law is the law. /s
AFAIK the major problem are the detonators potentially triggering as they decompose.
Those government inefficiencies are a great source of profit. Cut the FTEs today because the contractor's unrealistic low bid looks better on the budget. Make sure to hire a woman or minority owned for-profit road construction company, or hell just let the roads get so bad a pizza company can make it into a very effective ad campaign. I think we are a country hobbled by capitalism, afraid to do anything because it might hurt profits, even if it will hurt people.

NASA led private contractors to develop the Saturn V rocket and associated modules, now NASA is buying solutions, services, and products. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_Crew_Program
I'm sympathetic to your situation, but it's possible that the senior was still right to remove it at the time, even if you were eventually right that the product would need it in the end.

If I recall correctly they have a measure at SpaceX that captures this idea: The ratio of features added back a second time to total removed features. If every removed feature was added back, a 100% 'feature recidivism' (if you grant some wordsmithing liberty), then obviously you're cutting features too often. 70% is too much, even 30%. But critically 0% feature recidivism is bad too because it means that you're not trying hard enough to remove unneeded features and you will accumulate bloat as a result. I guess you'd want this ratio to run higher early in a product's lifecycle and eventually asymptote down to a low non-zero percentage as the product matures.

From this perspective the exact set of features required to make the best product are an unknown in the present, so it's fine to take a stochastic approach to removing features to make sure you cut unneeded ones. And if you need to add them back that's fine, but that shouldn't cast doubt on the decision to remove it in the first place unless it's happening too often.

Alternatively you could spend 6 months in meetings agonizing over hypotheticals and endlessly quibbling over proxies for unarticulated priors instead of just trying both in the real world and seeing what happens...
I'm using a combination of pyinfra for provisioning and justfile for one-off operations. In fact, I also have separate pyinfra scripts for provisioning my desktop and laptops, so I can have a fresh install and they will set it up with proper apps and desktop environment settings.

It's a convenient scapegoat if you ask me. Does it happen? Maybe. Does voter fraud happen too? Maybe.

But both of those properties are conveniently paraded to distract each respective side from the real and "pretty normal" suggestion of having voter ID. Just because documentation means some people don't get to vote, doesn't mean it's not a good ideal for us to work towards whilst also fixing the fact that circumstance and difficulty prevent some people from having said documents.

I'm really surprised at the pushback for Voter ID stuff here of all places. To make a loose/wonky analogy: I can not for the life of me figure out why people want to have "records" of their national population in a database table with no PK and no deduplication effort. And when you get API requests on a "/user/vote" endpoint you do some sort of weird fuzzy matching to get a record that may or may not exist, or is in a separate table called "registered voter" which has no FK to the first and was also filled in with some API request that never definitively links to the first record. And then after all of this, hoping and double-ing down on the claim that the final record count is exact, true and there was no shenanigans that happened in gathering said count. It baffles the mind, and the older and more cynical I get, the more I'm thinking this is done consciously and on-purpose and we're all being gaslight to think that it's normal and that any attempts to fix this are actually just one side trying to push their agenda to suppress the other.
If I'm not mistaken you can buy a special 888 number which works only for telegram from telegram
The teacher situation is strange. One the one hand, they often do seem to work outside of school hours on lesson prep and marking. On the other hand, they generally don't work during school holidays (12 weeks/yr).

Also, given that most school days here are ~9am to ~3pm, I wonder how much of that "after hours" work actually falls within the standard 40hr work week.
How many of the things were designed by Americans? The actual place of manufacturing matters less than who owns and is capable of producing the design and manufacturing process. For example chips - I absolutely don't believe you don't have an American CPU. If you have Intel, it was made in USA, but even if not, it's not like the Chinese, Taiwanese or Koreans could just go and produce an AMD or Apple-comparable chip, just having a factory to produce a chip is very far from actually producing a competitive chip. Samsung is trying but Exynos, while a good chip by itself, is definitely not comparable to Qualcomm.
To be a sociopath for a second:

Up-front pricing is only good for the buyer and never good for the seller. And while being an advocate for the user is a good thing in general, it's not a good thing if the result is less revenue. And if you want to present a pricing estimate your incentive is always to lowball and underestimate.

Businesses that are successful tend to exploit information asymmetry. This is frustrating as a consumer but if you can guarantee that the user doesn't know their final cost you can always sell them a sweeter picture than reality and play off the cost of switching to a competitor, if one exists.

Total aside but this is why housing prices are insane, at the most micro level no buyer has any idea over the final cost until the last possible moment at which point the cost of undoing the transaction probably outweighs the risk of continuing - psychologically, at least.

(I may or may not have been the victim of this recently and thought about it from the seller's side)
And then countless tons of ammunitions are dumped in seas all around the world (and in Swiss lakes). This Google map has info on chemical weapons dump site, stating 1.6 million tons dumped:

I guess dependency is powerlessness and thus depending on programming, without the ability to control your destiny, is the equivalent of power thirsty sociopath torture. Makes ones life that one notch more beautiful, going into work..
Then look for ways to solve it. I clearly didn't present a full solution and I don't have one. But the biggest issue is people being apathetic or trying to say there is no problem[0].

We're researchers. We solve crazy hard problems all the time. I'm not saying our "house" needs to be completely in order, but right now it seems to be in dismay. I'm certain we can solve this. We put a fucking man on the moon, we found the Higgs and gravitational waves, we made computers talk, and we rid the world of deadly diseases. Surely we can solve a problem like this. If anything, those should be reasons to motivate us to solve this, so we can do more! But I do think a problem is how people interpret economics. Maybe a research paper doesn't directly lead to a trillion dollar company, but those companies certainly rely on a lot of publicly funded research. The returns on investment are pretty high and that's worthwhile.

[0] I believe some feel the need to defend a system due to their success in it. This needs to be disentangled. A critique on the system is not a critique on "you" or "your work".
Interesting. I built a recurring billing startup and was always wondering how Stripe dealt with those edge cases...

As a note, I watched the video, the company name does become visible at least twice, once from 6:33 in the header pane and URL and also at the very beginning (Company Insights pane -> below "Powered by AI" the AI repeats the company name)
I want like a double blind where I do and don’t have LLM bot: I try to use the damned thing but I do stuff like Bazel primitives and NixOS CUDA stuff and Claude doesn’t know jack shit about that stuff.

If Claude could do custom shit on rules_python, I’d marry it.

But it’s a fucking newb on hard stuff.

Would you be as concerned about the sex offenders and drug addicts if they were as well off as you? In many cases they are richer. Do you think they have "prerequisites" when trying to buy their third house?

All I get out of that is that you like functional code.

IANAL, but I think it's flat-out illegal in the US, not just harmful. (And if it's not illegal, it should be.)

From https://www.eeoc.gov/prohibited-employment-policiespractices:

> An employer may not base hiring decisions on stereotypes and assumptions about a person's race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information.
Think people missing the point.

The vast majority of people don’t get professional headshots. They’re expensive and I’ve only ever had one when my employer has had a photographer come in for them.

They’re also a signal only for people you don’t know, not ones you do. I don’t know this guy but for some of these images, I couldn’t tell by looking at them that they are AI generated, and for the ones that are, I doubt a lot that when you have a tiny thumbnail of it on LinkedIn that you would be able to tell.

I think like many things, if they’re good enough but not as good as the best, it’ll still be enough for most people in the market for this.
Yup. It’s first Iran, then North Korea. The consent-manufacturing apparatus is working as intended.
We, as humans, always carry a few types of things with us on a journey.

Things we like, things we don't like, things that are totally useful, things that are somewhat useful etc.

There comes a point where we need to let go of the thing(s) we like - I called them the precious payload where we are most reluctant - and in this case the 'calculator' was the precious payload so many people in the company were unwilling to remove this feature except for one person.

In business, adding a completely new feature or subtracting an age-old feature is extremely difficult but oftentimes, this is where growth comes from.
didn't notice that so after reading your comment I went back for a second look.

even in all caps, calling it wrong seems to be underselling it. those hands are going to haunt my nightmares.
maybe try to write actual code rather than ONLY arcane config?
It doesn't that's why no one does it.

But for pipes what it means is that if whoever is reading or writing the pipe expects non blocking semantics, the other end needs to agree. And if they don't you'll eventually get an error because the reader or writer outpaced the other, and almost no program handles errors for stdin or stdout.
Relatedly, there seemed to be no acknowledgement of the possibility of dark incentives: many businesses have found they can increase sales by removing pricing details so that prospective customers get deeper into the funnel and end up buying because of sunk time costs even though they would have preferred a competitor. Example: car dealerships make it a nightmare to get pricing information online, and instead cajole you to email them or come in in person. In other words, a calculator makes it easier to comparison shop, which many businesses don't like.

I have no idea if that's a conscious or unconscious motivation for this business, but even if its not conscious it needs to be considered.
Afaik there are many therapists who are qualified and want to take public insurance (reimbursement rates are actually pretty good compared to those for MDs) but in the '90s there was a formula developed for how many therapists are needed per capita, and only that many therapists get licenses to take public insurance. Since the stigma around mental health was much higher then, demand now completely outstrips supply, and the competition for the licenses of retiring therapists is fierce.
Many Chinese local companies took advantage of west technology they acquired in joint companies and Chinese government kicked off western companies.

Preventing a good part of western big tech from entering the market was protectionism too.
can we ban this shit plz
I love that it's isometric - it's so visually pleasing.

Something I noticed that might need fixing - when generating a diagram the icons don't seem to be added, for example with the prompt: "An AWS deployment of Bedrock with an OpenAI compatible API lambda, load balancer and HTTPS" you get grey squares where there should be AWS product icons.

Is the code open source? I'll try to submit a PR if so.
I don't see why one would try to protect himself from the NSA.

I understand privacy from my neighbor and criminals.

But I want the government to spy on potential criminals.

I trust the courts and the process.

If you don't, you're just paranoid.
If you had my job you’d cry before you killed yourself.
Do you think putting screen recording software on their computers would have prevented the bug?
As others here have pointed out, Gaia-X successfully funnels money to EU cloud companies and maybe this is what it's supposed to do. The deal is: company agrees to write some bs on how it contributes to this project and they get the money. The point is to get local cloud tech sector to grow here in the EU and maybe it's too difficult politically or otherwise to just give money to the companies directly.
Haha Facebook worked with law enforcement to catch criminals. Who works with law enforcement to catch Facebook?

I recently tested Rnote(Rust) and Saber(Flutter)[1] with a wacom tablet; RNote is minimalist, gets the job done while Saber does some post-processing to make the note prettier, has lot of features and even makes sounds of pen writing on the paper which creates some latency.

Unfortunately Saber crashes when I move to another window and could not even report it to Gnome; Too bad as I do like flutter & dart lang but I don't think the runtime is stable enough for linux.

This seems like a bit of an over-reaction. I do rostered 24/7 on-call 1 week a month. I get compensated for both being on-call, and if I get called.

To run 3 shifts would mean splitting our already smallish team into 3 cells that never worked at the same time. It would actually be cheaper for the org, assuming they could convince the current staff to do it. But it would be a terrible for the team, and for the individuals on the late shift (shift work is notoriously unhealthy).
Apple bought P.A. Semi in 2008 and put them to work on ARM cores right away. On the other hand, there were noises about the A-series being faster than x86 already at the time of Apple A13 in 2019.

As an unambitious fellow happy to grind away at the bottom of the ladder, this is how I've conducted myself most of my career. My brief forays into management have generally impacted my work-life balance too far the wrong way, and correcting said balance ran into incompatibilities with expectations (not in performance mind you, just in the ambiguous and subjective 'that which is required of leadership').

Y'all can have it.
> The real conspiracy theory is: Telegram have never made any attempt to either implement full E2E or to dissuade their users for using it for politically sensitive messages. Why not?

Could be something nefarious or could be because not doing things is easier than doing things. Why bother if the existing conditions are just fine (for Telegram)?
