The way it works in Finland:

Police officers are public officials. As such, they do not have the right to have a second job or a side business by default. They may apply for a permit for a specific job, and it is usually approved if there are no obvious conflicts of interest or other reasons that could compromise their impartiality. Some jobs, such as private security, are automatically out of question.

If your event needs security, you hire private security. Police officers may have been involved in training the security personnel, but they can't work in the field. And if a uniformed police officer shows up at the event, it almost always means something has gone wrong.
i think at this point a lot of us just want to watch it burn so that we all get to suffer together for once.
To be fair, it’s notable that Azure doesn’t publish any information about consistency guarantees (or lack thereof).

I follow Elon, and Elon retweeted Mike, and then I clicked through and saw a verified user's comment (Paul). I just thought he was being very pedantic/rude for someone with 2M followers, and I am fond of this HN guideline, so I pasted it in and hit send thinking it was just a little funny, condescending, and trollish. Wasn't until later, after it got some engagement that I realized it was Paul of YCombinator. I'm not mad he blocked me, I just like the irony.

I like to intentionally follow people who have (rational) views I don't agree with, or just don't understand. Even so, I do find enjoyment in smashing that block button myself from time to time.

> I don't believe he wrote or had anything to do with the guideline you quoted at him.

Perhaps he didn't take part in writing it. But I disagree that he doesn't have anything to do with it, since he takes credit for the site existing. I dodn't think it really matters though. And I didn't realize it was him until after I replied, so I can't claim that's why I posted it.
That is a discussion that can be had between the offender and the police officer, also depending what you are driving (ie a motorcycle) often traffic lights may not detect you and you can be sitting there forever.

Put it this way would you feel comfortable having your phone just passively watching you and anytime you break any law that is on the books it calls the cops on you? If you can see that as over reaching you can understand why others don't want automated enforcement done to them.

> The repo is literally called "linux-stable-rc"

It's not? What repo? The only two repos which are involved are https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin... which is mainline (implicitly) which is where these patches would land and git://evilpiepirate.org/bcachefs.git which is the source repo for the PR. The only branches being referenced are "master" (implicitly) for mainline and the tag "bcachefs-2024-08-23".

Regardless, to respond to the rest of your comment:

The reasons for why Linus is rejecting the change have nothing to do with the stable process and everything to do with the set release process. The mainline merge window opens, you (not you specifically unless you are a subsystem maintainer, if you want to contribute a patch as a non-maintainer, the process is completely separate and goes via the subsystem maintainers) submit features and bug fixes, the merge window closes, somewhere in the ballpark of 7 release candidates happen, and it's released as mainline. The goal of the RCs is to incorporate subsequent waves of fixes for any regressions introduced specifically by the bug fixes and new features.

Kent is claiming that, because he himself implements effectively an equivalently rigorous (according to him) feature testing and stabilisation process that his patches which do not fix regressions introduced by previous patches submitted during the merge window, but which do fix some real bugs, should be accepted outside the merge window.

In the past, Linus has let it slide, and he has also let it slide this time too: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin... . Linus is just asking Kent to stop doing this as he doesn't want to keep giving him special treatment.

If the closest tower is on the fringe of connectivity, and you've got an app that's acknowledging push notifications constantly or similar, then wouldn't it make sense that it has to scream constantly? Keep in mind that not every push on a data level results in something displaying in your notification tray; these are quite distinct despite the phrase "push notification" commonly being used for the combination of a push coming in and a notification being presented as a result.

Maybe the faraday cage bag in GP's anecdote wasn't quite good enough, so the same thing (fringe connectivity combined with lots of Rx packets needing to be ACK'd) was occuring for both of you.

When you are 100% out of range such that no Rx is occuring at all, then at that point yes the phone should not be screaming into the void often enough to heat up and drain the battery.
Seems like the key issue here is this: what is the purpose of conducting the authentication? In the case of personal accounts, it's for the benefit of the individual. They get their own account to safely store personal data. Here, the individual management of biometric authentication devices, as you described, is a great thing. A passkey can be generated without exposing biometric data. The individual has the responsibility and incentive to keep their devices secure.

But the above article is an example of the opposite case, where the authentication is for public security. In this situation, the individual cannot be entrusted with their own auth, so if each person were to use their own device, it would need to be quite tamper-proof. Seems far simpler at this point to do face / fingerprint auth, where the security guard ensures that no one is wearing a mask or fake finger. Yes, there is the concern that the bio-data could be stolen / misused, and for that reason I think that bio-auth for public safety should be limited to a single standard type (e.g. face), with the others being reserved only for private auth. That way, a compromise can be reached between public safety and individual privacy.

Many attempts in the past to make the making of software “simpler” but none panned out … would be interesting to see what happens this time around with this new tool … :-)
Here's what I learned from reading fiction: it's best not to go too deep into the authors' biographies, because it may spoil the joy of reading their writing. Some are alcoholics, philanderers, liars, or arse lickers. They are mostly skint, always hoping to be the next Hemingway and forever ruining literary cafes' budgets by ordering one coffee per day and spending hours hogging the table and arguing about style. Some embellish their biographies, but if that's what sells books, so be it. They typically form closely-knit cliques and have strange rituals and their own vernacular. Some are racist--there is a contemporary English fiction writer who cannot stop himself from making sure that whenever he needs an idiot, a crook, or a thief in his stories then the reader is explicitly told that it's an Eastern European, even if that fact has nothing to do with the story. A darling of the literary column in the English press. Of course, he is.

Software developers rarely venture into that world, because the pay is crap and the challenges are all to do with who you know. Writing is also one of the most closed and xenophobic guilds. Count on the fingers of one hand contemporary non-English writers writing and publishing in English without the help of a translator who are invited into the English literary coteries. One hand will be quite enough.

As a software developer I also learned that our profession attracts the kind of moron who would never be allowed to practice chemistry or civil engineering in professional capacity. You can wake up one day to tell yourself that the ad about learning to code in Python was actually a sign from above and you are ready to make megabucks the moment you finish your online course. You don't know what you don't know and instead of learning more about the art and science of designing, writing, and testing software you focus on a few people who do not conform to your worldview. You are surprised that software developers have a wide variety of views, body shapes, or sexual preferences. Being a writer, you feel compelled to write about it. That's how you lay bare your entitlements, your feeling of superiority for having mastered the rules of grammar and navigation of the impenetrable, permanently undrepaid world of literary hierarchies. The world of people who live in horror of someone mastering the rules of the language better and replacing the on the shortlist for the Booker prize. Unlike software developers who want more people to master their favourite language, because the more popular it gets, the more opportunities they will have.

(If the above doesn't make sense, do not worry. I too don't know why the writer-coder brings people's personal views into the discussion of software development from the point of view of an English major.)

Also, I don’t think that the parent comment was being serious.
You're right in that it's both a modern challenge and one 30 years in need of addressing.

The first girl I "dated" I met in an AOL chat in the 90s where I did what was later called negging. Five years later, my friends were on AIM and torturing each other and everyone they could get the handles of.

A coworker recently told me her tween son had done the same to a classmate via Discord and whatever other socials kids use today, and unlike, or because of, how we grew up, his teachers were aware of it and called his parents. He spent the summer without Internet doing volunteer work until everyone was satisfied, and he's improved because of it.

I don't believe in ubiquitous surveillance, but with the connectivity available today, parents need more options to parent. I think there need to be more options for phones without cameras, more accessible management, and ways to limit that so that there's local privacy for developing people to explore their personhood. Taking phones away isn't a bad way to start until we have that option.

Granted, I'm not calling for a ban, but I'm more worried about someone with depression having a gun. My rationale is simply that there are a lot of depressed people, and the impairment lasts longer, thus the risk exposure is higher.
Sorry, I only recently started contributing and don't really have an answer to your question. I'd venture to say there aren't that many lem devs/"enthusiasts" browsing this thread so I can only speak from my own limited experience. You're free to open an issue to get better feedback though.
Also, I'm having trouble visualizing the workflow you mentioned with overlapping frames, do you have a clip/screenshot or something? Using the mouse to focus overlapping emacs frames just sounds like a window manager thing in my head.
Tbh I never really understood the reason for the existence of css-in-js either.

Just do vanilla `<style> @scope { /* your component styles without any naming bloat ... */ } </style>` nested in the markup/jsx, and optionally leave merging any of that for perf optimisation to some rudimentary build tooling or hydration

But also: I do see the QoL benefits of colocating styles & markup, but it has drawbacks aswell: it prevents you from being able to reuse design systems across different applications/codebases, and increases maintenance complexity and tech debt as soon as you introduce utility classes or any styling rules that aren't hard-tied to a singular component. Both issues scale painfully fast with the complexity of your App/UI, and impact Tailwind-based UIs even more in my experience.
You could remove the sentence I quoted, keep the thing from the conductor about bison, and it wouldn't make a difference to the story [1]. It's a "lead in" only in the extremely literal sense that the one sentence comes before the other one.

Sure - if you want zero innovation.

If you're a large enough entity operating in multiple jurisdictions around the world, you're exposed to such a byzantine labyrinth of laws and regulations that it's impossible not to be in violation of some rule or law, somewhere, at all times.

Regulators know this. They use discretion to decide when and how to enforce these rules. Some are seldom enforced, others enforced with reckless abandon depending on the administrator, market conditions, political winds, etc.

Every regulated financial institution, for example, and I mean every single one, will be fined for something if it is big enough and has been around long enough.

Basing fines on worldwide revenue is a ridiculous way to ensure absolutely no risk-taking happens, because innovation happens at the margin. Tomorrow's massive industry is today's grey area.

Depends what you do! I've never found anything quite as good as Visual Studio for C/C++ coding and debugging. I can (and have...) got by with Xcode on macOS and CLion on Linux, but they're just not quite as good. (I did a stint doing Go with Visual Studio Code - I suspect the same would apply to using Visual Studio Code for C++, too.)

The Visual Studio text editor isn't amazing, but it's good enough that I can put up with it (and I can always load a file into Emacs when I need to do something specific), and the code browsing and code completion typically works well out of the box. The main draw is the debugger, which is decent, and, being integrated, the debugging UI gets to reuse the reasonable text editing UI for looking at and navigating source code. The debugging panels are all independent, can be docked anywhere in the window (or left floating), and arranged into tab groups as the situation demands - a big improvement over most other debuggers I've used, which have a bad habit of providing a single debug state panel and/or not letting you lay things out as you see fit.

(Once you leave Visual Studio, the Windows experience isn't always ideal, but you have options, according to personal taste. I have Emacs, Python, git, and the usual GNU tools (git comes with a good set) - and for the stuff I do, that's enough to make the experience pretty consistent whichever OS I'm using.)

More then possible legal minimum for them? Approximately everyone - finding ways to minimize your taxes carries opportunity cost that may as well be bigger than the savings, though again, most people will evaluate this in terms of frustration and risk of getting it wrong. The exception are people who can outsource this to professionals - doing that is very low in terms of opportunity cost, frustration and risk, but it's an option available to the few.

So perhaps that's why wealthy people seem so tax-averse - they may be as averse as everyone, but for them the aversion is much cheaper and easier to do.

(This reflects a more general principle I summarize as: the only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is that good men are separated from it by enough layers of abstraction.)

Going after this exact market is potentially a fool's errand.

AMD and Intel would probably be better off researching entirely different approaches that they can leverage their existing expertise for - i.e., some architecture that relies heavily on efficient OoO processing pipelines and free (if predicted correctly) control flow changes. Techniques that are antagonistic to GPU processing could represent a competitive moat.

Joining an existing rabbit chase right in the middle can quickly evolve into a catastrophic strategic choice when the cost of entry is billions of dollars.

I never said that and I also don't feel like trying to convince anyone to be curious about how their software actually works.

Tailwind is CSS though? Like, it much more strongly maps to individual styles than most other popular style frameworks and systems.
I mean, consistent mediocre releases is exactly what we have gotten out of OpenAI.

But we know they started training Orion in ~May. We know it takes months to train a frontier model. Lack of release isn't promising or worrying, it's just what one should expect. What is promising is the leaks about the high-quality synthetic data that Orion is training on. And the fact that OpenAI seems to be ahead of all the other labs which are only just now beginning training runs on next-gen models. OpenAI seems to have a lead on compute and on algorithmic innovation. A promising combination if there ever was one.

The counterpoint is that "free" ChatGPT looks really good, and that's hard to monetise because of all the other free chat interfaces.

My guess is that ChatGPT is the free advert for the real product, which is their API and in particular the fine-tuning.

Using the language comprehension of an LLM as part of a bigger system, RAGging them, forcing the output to comply with continuous tests, etc. does still provide other business opportunities not available to a fully general-purpose chat system with no limits to the kind of content it can produce.

If you're trying to make a system that always produces valid SQL, you want it to not just pass a syntax checker but also be valid for the specific schema it's being asked about; you definitely don't want it running fully automated if there's a chance it will append "Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!" to the end of the query.
