…can’t go into anymore specifics than that

…I forget the site right now, but there a guy that gives a good rundown of this stuff. I’ll see id I can find it.
This very much reminds me of how old Slackware systems used to operate. It was workable, but had a number of problems:

(1) I want to stop "service1" for a few minutes, without affecting other services, how do I do this?

(2) I want to disable "service1" completely, or pass it an extra parameter, without affecting other services. How do I do this? Note you cannot edit the init file and restart, this'll restart all the other services as well.

(3) I just typed "my-package-manager install service4", and I want service4 to start right away (and naturally have full functionality - keep restarting on failure, save logs, etc..). How do I do this?

(4) service2 had a emitted too many log lines, and my log disk is full. How do I clean existing logs without restarting the service? (Note even if you remove the file, it'll still take up the disk space)

(5) You were debugging service3 performance, and noticed it has printed "ERROR out of foobars" to its log but didn't print the timestamp.. When did this happen?

(6) service2 needs to be started after NFS volume is mounted. service3 is responsible for cpu fans and should be started as early as possible. service1 will re-generate the userdb if the data directory is missing, so it should not be started automatically if that's the case.

(7) new version of service1 changes command-line and default restart interval. How do I apply this change to my heavily customized startup file?

I could go on and on. All of those are real problems, and before systemd, they were solved with tons of bespoke code. Either C/C++ code (making a trivial daemons complex beasts), or shell code of init system, with was typically highly distribution dependent. And of course it was fragile and full of bugs.

Slip by? Hamas was funded and propped up by this highly skilled org in order to deligitimize the peace process.
I get what you’re saying and largely agree, but without result builders SwiftUI wouldn’t exist, let alone “look pretty”. You seem to be devaluing the syntactic sugar it brings, which in this case makes a massive difference.
I mean, the clear way to deal with this is to make them choose, and allow import tariffs. Get taxed where the nexus is, and pay to bring the value to other jurisdictions.

I understand that the web of various tax laws and trade agreements makes this impossible though. 80 years of cruft is too much to sift through to improve things in one fell swoop I suppose.
Is there anything like this with vector an multimodal search as well? I know I'm asking too much.
The distinction is business vs personal, not company vs individual. A sole trader can usually do avoid income and VAT on all those things (except some deductions pertaining to payroll benefits). Some countries have an alternative arrangement where very small traders pay VAT but also retain VAT on the products they sell rather than actually netting out the VAT on a return.
What we know about the Hezbollah pagers attack
> How could he have fueled properly for that effort?

Clearly, he didn't.

It's hard to get specifics, but that doesn't seem impossible for a pre-industrial, highly trained runner (several hunter-gatherer tribes seem to be capable of those sorts of distances over multiple days, and he was as close to a professional distance runner as existed at the time). Remember also that he isn't running through uninhabited territory; there would likely have been multiple opportunities (pre-established supply depots? well-known locals?) where an official representative of a major local power would have been able to acquire food.
Aren’t Philips and ASML both effectively under American control anyway? Is the TSMC part of the stack that special in terms of actual IP (versus more squishy organizational know-how)?
How many is some and how many is a lot? Are you confusing dead and injured?
Scramble: Open-Source Alternative to Grammarly
After years with Grammarly, I wanted a simpler, cheaper way to improve my writing. So I built Scramble, a Chrome extension that uses an LLM for writing enhancements.

Key features:
- Uses your OpenAI API key (100% local)
- Pre-defined prompts for various improvements
- Highlight text and wait for suggestions
- Currently fixed to GPT-4-turbo

Future plans: add LLM provider/model choice, custom prompts, bug fixes, and improve default prompts.

It's probably buggy, but I'll keep improving it. Feedback welcome.

C++ & autotools. No, thanks.
Please don't make claims like "this is false" if you aren't familiar with the licenses you're commenting on.

Section 4e of the LGPLv3 says that one of the conditions for conveying a "combined work" (such as a proprietary application that links with an LGPLv3 library) is "Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise be required to provide such information under section 6 of the GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is necessary to install and execute a modified version of the Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the Application with a modified version of the Linked Version."

The relevant quote from Section 6 of the GPLv3 is:

> “Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.

> If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).

In summary, if you ship a device that is physically capable of running modified code, you must give users the ability to both link the LGPL'd library with your proprietary code and to write the resulting modified firmware to the device.
Eh, I'm not too bothered by it. SwiftUI has its issues but I've put the result builder feature powering it to use for things vastly more simple than SwiftUI, for which it works very well. It's a net positive overall and I prefer it to having to rope in libraries for every little thing.
Maybe too far fetched? Company sells/loses data, insurance companies use data to deny coverage, or deem claims as pre-existing.

Sure, there are two different terms with two different legal statuses. Unfortunately those paying taxes and those collecting them don't always draw the same line between them.
American companies already know how to manufacture older chips. It’s not like TSMC is light years ahead of Intel. They’re ahead, but not by so much that their older generation tech would be transformative.

Gold Apollo says it did not make pagers used in Lebanon explosions
To be frank in the past we had the right idea with how to deal with highway robbers, hanging them, shooting them, or beheading them. We didn't give them the fucking blessing of the law!
Haskell is definitely a real industrial language!

Many of the other languages in the formally verified/dependent type space are academic, but there's government interest in things like Ada too because they don't want their planes to crash. Couldn't say how good its error messages are though.
I see no reason for Israel to "back off" before the hostages are returned and Hamas surrenders. Like all wars, it will probably end when one of the combatants surrenders. Hopefully this will happen soon.
I want to run a proxy like this on Node.js on my phone.
Heads up, requests adds some extra headers on send.

One thing I’ve also been doing recently when I find a site that I just want an api is just use python and execute a curl via python. I populate the curl from chrome’s network tab. I also have a purpose built extension I have in my browser that saves cookies to a lan Postgres DB and then the use those values for the script.

Can even probably do more by automating the browser to navigate there on failure.
It's not any more difficult than buying a phone and calling a carrier to activate it. They'll take a PO Box for a billing address no problem.
"If you take a firecracker apart and light the powder, you’ll get a flash and a lot of smoke, but no bang. The explosion comes from the pressure building up in an enclosure."

True. But if you open enough firecrackers and put the powder in a small plastic container you will not get a bang but a buff and a fireball the size of a car.

Tsmc will never allow the Arizona plant to be a viable replacement. They are extremely incentived to prevent this happening.
Yeah GP is probably merging two things that happen in the movie. One, the villain (played by Samuel Jackson) implants all of his "inner circle" with exploding implants to guarantee compliance, and late in the movie they are hacked so that the entire group is simultaneously assassinated with a single signal. Two, that same villain gives out free SIM cards to everyone on the planet that can be remotely triggered to throw everyone in range into a homicidal rage. The latter is probably what GP was thinking of, but they misremembered the effect.
Yeah, that's great, but it will be a lot better when they're making high-caliber chips for multiple customers, not just one.
No; they are not, by people who know the subject.
I also disliked unqualified imports. I can never get used to languages where you can 'import foo' or 'use foo' and it just dumps a bunch of symbols into the current scope. That combined with Swift's 'implicit member expressions' makes it difficult to read code outside of an IDE (although I understand why they made that tradeoff given some of the long identifiers Swift inherited) [1].

I'm no space expert, but I'm not sure this would be say better. It would certainly be epically more expensive.

Two obvious issues spring to mind;

The orbit would need to be polar to avoid being blocked by the earth (assuming the craft is in the solar plane). Whatever orbit was chosen at least some planes some of the time would be obscured by the earth.

And orientation fuel becomes an issue. Outside of refueling it becomes a hard end-of-life factor.

Contrasted to land-based stations. Which are happily operating 50 years and can be maintained etc.

Frankly I'm not sure there would be any advantage to a space receiver- and it's several orders of magnitude more expensive.
I mean I’d see that as an invitation to help myself to anything the church owns that isn’t nailed down.
It's not the CEO replying, it's one of his/her assistants.
Well, it's basically VNC over Wifi with a custom layer for touch events and other special iOS cases, so yeah.

VNC over wifi is worse than RDP'ing a server across a country if you have good wired fiber connection. But I guess in a pinch if you don't want to look for your iPhone and need a quick interaction.

But I agree that in any case it's largely a gimmick and mainly something for marketing reasons around the ecosystem and all that jazz. It's just like the failed attempt at porting iOS/iPadOS apps to the Mac: makes for a great release announcement/keynote, in practice barely worth using.
I'm interested in what and how they're able to prove that the app and the author are responsible for how it is used.

Hey there, I feel your struggle. As a remote software engineer in the JS stack, I went through something similar last year.

Keep trying for fully remote roles if that's your priority. It might take time, but they're out there.

Consider hybrid roles to expand your options, as more companies are asking for RTO (return to office) lately. e.g. Amazon

Create an online portfolio as your online resume, showcasing your work from the past 1.5 years. You can host it for free on GitHub - search for Web Developer Portfolio for examples, some are really great.

Update your LinkedIn profile, set your status to "looking for a job," and create remote job alerts. Recruiters will reach out directly, helping your resume get seen and get first interview. When you talk to recruiters or company's CEO in LinkedIn, online resume is really helpful. Passing coding tests with flying colors might mean your resume isn't even reaching the hiring teams. So LinkdedIn is a really good approach to have a cold message with target role.

Ask for referrals from your connections and keep an eye on remote job websites.Search keywords and you will found some useful remote list. Referrals significantly increase your chance to get the interview.

If you're worried about the time frame, consider freelancing on platforms like Upwork in the meantime. I was working as a contractor when looking for a remote full time job last year.

Good luck!
Pagers don’t “connect” to networks.
This seems extremely idealistic. How many companies even know what the goal of the company is? Very few employees know this as many companies don’t know it either. Furthermore, there are many times when forgetting about the overarching goal and focusing on the goal that is right in front of you is the right decision. In fact, a strategy that many companies use to avoid this is to split the company up into smaller start up operations that are designed to specifically ignore the overarching goals of the company so that they can on their own perform at the best within their channel.
This is a neat idea. DEVONagent, but actually agentic.

There's a big difference between spinning up your own fab and unscrewing the back of the pager to see if there's a bomb in it.
Semiconductor R&D is very multi-dimensional (despite the media only talking about the one dimensional made up measurement of node size), there are many things Intel could learn from TSMC, and the other way around too.
It wouldn't be performant enough. Resist the urge to go as abstract as possible on a battery-powered device someone else is paying for.
> but this means giving up on doing other things you could use the resources for.

Aka giving up the security and being more vulnerable to volatility. The pendulum can swing too far, as resilience cannot be measured in dollars.
> However, in this case, there clearly is benefit to using LLMs

Legitimate curious question: what are the clear benefits exactly? I mean stuff that objectively improves society, not the plaything that ChatGPT has mostly become (there are exceptions to this as well, of course, I had a CFO telling me lately he used ChatGPT to find mistakes or bad contract clauses).
Implementing an RVM running on a GPU is definitely feasible, however, I'm not sure if it would be fast or efficient. For the case of Ribbit, you only need to write an RVM in a language that can compile to a GPU. An RVM is mostly a interpreter loop with some primitives. Maybe exposing the GPU primitives could enable heavily parallelizable scheme code ? It could be a fun experiment
Great way to tell you have low standard and can't detect latency. The same thing has been said about the iPad Mirroring, expect it's effectively unusable for anyone half serious if you don't use the wired mode.

For a quick tech demo, it's all fun and games, but when there is real shit to do, nobody wants to fight their tools.
wow altman hired jacob bc of your email?
The Supreme Court decision was toothless because it allowed universities to create race proxies, and they're exploiting it to make the decision irrelevant. It's even perfectly fine to discuss race in college essays, for example: "Rice University asked students how their perspectives were shaped by their “background, experiences, upbringing, and/or racial identity.”" (https://apnews.com/article/college-application-affirmative-a...). They'll fine-tune them to achieve the exact racial makeup they want eventually. The bigger surprise is that a few schools haven't done it (yet?).
I doubt that was the case for these specifically hacked and weaponized devices. The operation appears to be ingenious and precisely layered in design. It very specifically targeted a group of people who were first convinced to ditch their mobile devices because they were hackable by Israel. Then the target group was provided the weaponized devices. They were bulk triggered at a specific moment of time. The weaponized device (while certainly lethal in some cases) was seemingly designed to maim and minimize damage beyond the person holding the device. And… perhaps most importantly, they were expected to be kept in a front pocket increasing the likelihood of physically emasculating the target group. It’s the ultimate “you don’t want to fuck with us”.

Its disturbing as hell…but brilliant.
They are called secret police centres in Canada because of the actions they pose, and the threats they make. They'll threaten to kidnap you and extrajudicially extradite you to China, they'll threaten your relatives in China, they'll force you to stop behaviours considered inappropriate by the CCP, they'll try to recruit you as a spy.

To the Chinese Communist Party, the Han ethnic group belongs to the Chinese State, and everything anyone of this ethnic background does is their business.
Damn

Plastic explosives are impact and heat stable. It takes an electric charge or blast cap to detonate them based on which compound is being used.
> Perhaps? Most scenarios that explicitly involve .NET's GC vs Swift's ARC display much better performance of the former

By which you mean "less CPU cycles on a desktop machine with plenty of memory"?

That's not when ARC is more performant; it's better on smaller devices that are under memory pressure and have swapped out some of your memory. In which case you have to swap it back in to go scan for pointers. And if you're a low-priority daemon then you evict higher priority pages in the process.
For resolve.conf, I think it is fundamentally bad design that is hard to get right. Before systemd, I've spent plenty of time trying to get networkmanager and resolvconf to play together. And then there was those dhcp scripts which would edit the files directly.

Also, what do you mean my "standardizing dnsmasq behaviour?" From my recollection of using it (and from manpage[0]), it's pretty basic. You (1) manually edit /etc/resolve.conf to point to localhost dnsmasq instance (2) use app-specific ways to configure nameservers, in dnsmasq's case it's an ad-hoc list of secondary resolv.conf files specified on command line, with no defaults. I don't think this is worth standardizing, as this scheme cannot even represent network interface -> dns entry associations.

It was pointed out to me that you shouldn't overthink it: the most likely thing which happened is Israel had someone inside Hezbollah procurement and used them to take delivery (I'd put much lower odds on this guy being in on the plan, it's doubtful he even knew he was working for Israel directly).

You've got to remember that as internet people, we want everything to have a clever storyline to it. Intelligence services exploit that exact expectation though: the first thing you attack is trust within the organization itself, since it gives you more access, more easily and once people have talked themselves into "supply chain threat" there's a real danger they've ignored "actually the guy signing off on the paperwork is taking a payoff to ignore some delivery irregularities".

Ironic, given Flutter's infamy regarding performance (jank).
Yikes the "list of patients" thing is scariest part of all of this: if they feed that into some monster AI that creates new targets... I can only imagine the diminishing accuracy of who is really deserving of being targets

But that is exactly what modern AI-era big data warfare would look like. By its nature, and by choice, less accuracy / more innocent targets, but oh well
Specially the dynamic podcast, its fetching information from latest articles and creating podcast. It’s unbelievable

Something you learn to really like on Windows is how well "described" most of the UI is on hover.
In macOS even for seasoned users there are always some things you are never quite sure do and you have to Google much of it. Plenty of the UI is not discoverable, Windows got that part way better.
We are going to chat with all kinds of stuff soon xD
> Aren’t Philips and ASML both effectively under American control anyway?

IDK about Philips but ASML follows US export restrictions due to a deal it agreed to when it bought a US company a few decades ago, yes.

> Is the TSMC part of the stack that special in terms of actual IP (versus more squishy organizational know-how)?

I don't want to go into too many details as I work in the Intel Foundry but it's certainly both. We'd be very happy to know how TSMC does some specific things, let me put it that way.
At the same time, our execution has been dubious since 10 nm.
Eggdrops, get your eggdrops here!
I think politicians hook onto manufacturing as an ideal of an industry which should pay well and has a low barrier to entry. If manufacturing grew 15% every year but employed 15% fewer people every year due to automation, it would be considered a catastrophe.

The reason most people want more manufacturing in the US is because they want manufacturing jobs. It is only within the last few years since the pandemic that we started to care about domestic manufacturing as a matter of national security
"The only reason why we knew the position of the particle in the first place was that it had been NAILED there."
Read the article. If you have not already, you might rethink consideration of this product.
Their competitors have access to the same tech. If TSMC’s process wasn’t special, they wouldn’t be years ahead of the competition.
Nice, using Islam as a scapegoat. Lebanon is a democratic republic that has 43.4% Christian population. If that is their intention, why not focus on their country first rather than attacking Israel?
They're much bigger than the IRA.
