OpenAI Threatening to Ban Users for Asking Strawberry About Its Reasoning
This is the kind of thing I've been watching unfold with some home "NAS" boxes over the past couple of years. It started much earlier but it's started to become more of a differentiating factor in some of the lines lately because the NAS side of things is basically entirely a solved problem for 99% of people, so the manufacturers (Synology, QNAP, Terramaster, U-Green, etc.) have been adding support for doing what looks a lot like turn-key installation of things like NextCloud, Plex, and a bunch of other services that the self-hosting community has been talking about for years.

I think one of the big drivers of it has been the serious increase in performance and capability of the low power embedded processors from Intel and AMD (and in the last year or so some ARM based ones), like supporting more than 2GB of ram and having multiple cores that can meaningfully do work even with a 15W TDP.
"Who was hit" specifically refers to who was the target; who owned those pagers.

I did not misunderstand what Hezbollah was, please. I spent years working intel. I'm well aware that terrorist groups often provide social services to the civilians they claim to protect. In large part, it's how terrorist groups often maintain power.

This attack did not target doctors or nurses. It targeted Hezbollah operatives. Hezbollah is a terrorist organization, and Israel is at war with them. Social services run by Hezbollah were not the target, but if a doctor or nurse happens to be a Hezbollah operative, then they were targeted.

Again: the goal was Hezbollah operatives. If you were a doctor or nurse and unaffiliated with Hezbollah, you were not targeted.

I'm not really sure how to be more clear.

Source 1: Only mentions anonymous sources. And while I would put partial weight on that coming from an actual journalist, this is the same professor who wrote the original blogpost.

Source 2: Same publication as Source 1, though I don't see a byline. No named sources.

Source 3: No named sources. The "About Us" features Lorem Ipsum and four photos of the same woman.

Source 4: A reddit post, no sources, and the amount quoted is not $600 million, but $250 million.

Source 5: A petition. References an Oracle press release that didn't show up in your Google search (most likely because it doesn't exist, or it would be widely cited).
The point is that unfortunately geopolitics ends up in an eternal competitive state.

Losing your industrial base and giving it away to a geopolitical competitor is almost certainly an error in the long run.

Large industrial bases also are correlated with healthier middle class societies, according to Vaclav Smil, and in my experience, he’s exactly right.

So losing the industrial base is fine for you, a service sector worker, but it’s bad for the country and it’s bad for society, if you want it to have a healthy middle class.
While I have noticed an issue with certain voices seemingly being amplified a bit more.

It is hard to argue that Twitter is still where many of these conversations are happening. People already have their followers there and unless you have a big name that can easily get people to move over to something, it is going to be pretty hard to move.

Personally I have tried to rebuild on other platforms but the engagement keeps happening on twitter even when I make the same posts on the new alternatives.
Pedantic humor - You statement can only be true if you don't get silenced for saying it.

More broadly - Israel is a wealthy, westernized nation. Reasonable policy would be to gift them with ~$0 - the exact same as we gift to Australia, Belgium, Japan, Norway, Portugal, South Korea, Switzerland, Wales, etc., etc.

But no, there is no chance of American politics admitting any "reasonable policy" to its bubbleverse of discourse.

The only useful thing on Twitter that I ever saw was the lovely and tender Dog Rates https://x.com/dog_rates. You could read anonymously and be all aww and schucks about all those good dogs. They've thankfully stopped engaging with this cesspool that it became and moved somewhere else, Instagram perhaps? Somewhere where I can't read without an account, so I don't read it anymore.
That’s why I learned to log literally everything into stdout unless a process is time-sensitive and it’s deep production and it passed the mark where bugs and insights occur once a month+ and there’s zero chance someone asking me what exactly happenes with X at Y afternoon-ish last Friday.

The obvious exception are recursive number-fiddling algos which would spam gigabytes of output due to big N.

This way I can just read assumptions and see branches taken and what’s wrong as if it was written in plain text.

When I see klocs without a single log statement, to me it’s readonly and not worth touching. If you’re stuck with a bug, log everything and you’ll see it right there.

Twitter was "special" because they actually had an API.

No other social media site (besides Reddit) had one. Facebook kind of tried, although theirs was always a lot more limited, and got shut down when it turned out Cambridge Analytica used it for widespread election fraud[1].

Both Twitter and Reddit did basically the same thing at roughly the same time, Twitter just had the misfortune to be under the control of Elon Musk, so the move was perceived as ideological.

[1] As it later turned out, Cambridge Analytica was basically a "nothing burger", they claimed to be able to accomplish a lot while, in reality, accomplishing very little. The damage to interoperability was already done, though.
What would be the point of open sourcing it? Serious question.

The viability and profitability of the strategy depend critically on the ownership and control position of the CEO. Many CEOs do not have all that much stock, in percentage terms. If they have access to resources and sufficient board control they could privatize, reset the cap table, and reorganize.

If they were to reorganize first and produce a company worth as much as its competitors, they only get eg 5% of eg 30B, which after taxes makes them maybe a billionaire. Reorg and do the same thing and they could be looking at control and $10-20B.

Where tens of billions of dollars are involved, “really complicated” and “high risk” plays are basically table stakes.

C# does have C++-esque issues but the scale at which they affect the language is not comparable. There are really no popular patterns that have become "no, never do that", poorly written code is sort of version agnostic, and even old code, particularly one like in Mono applications from back in the day, plays really nicely with modern runtimes. And the difference in ways to achieve something is almost always of type "remember this required to take 4 steps? now it's one shorthand thing that makes sense in retrospect".
Ah, I've never really been able to discern. There is obvious LLM text, but it's harder to tell the difference in short samples, and with some prompting to get it to write in a particular style, it's been easy to make LLM output non-obvious for a while now.

> Feeding Copilot and ChatGPT some questions

My guess is the GP is talking about things like Perplexity. What is indeed ChatGPT, but it's set so that it can point you to useful sites instead of just giving you an answer. (I don't know why so many people think they answer itself will be useful, it can only be good if it was taken verbatim from some site.)

And yeah, those things are useful. But to say they'll disrupt one's workflow is a bit too much.

Hosting from home was always subject to home ISP ToS limits on doing that very thing. When I self-hosted in the early days, it was still paying someone to mount my system in their rack and use their network. So whether that was hardware that I rented from them, built the box myself, or using a VM they provide, it's still the same amount of work to maintain it. That's still different from using Wix/Squarespace, geocities, or using a social media platform.

Oh cool, I didn't know it could! Regardless, advanced routing is still something that RabbitMQ has that isn't in NATS. It's not useful for every system, but it is a differentiator. I usually reach for NATS + Jetstream these days, with its object and KV systems it's a really great "all-in-one" for basic stuff.

Yep, which is why Elmo sympathizers hate reading so much and send spam and hate propaganda forward.
Clients creating server topologies does scale very well with the new Khepri metadata store in RabbitMQ 4.0. Applications having an intimate relationship with their middleware (RabbitMQ) and creating flexible routing topologies is one of main strengths of RabbitMQ!
RabbitMQ also allows operators to import (exchange, queue, and binding) definitions on boot.
Server topologies can nowadays even be declared via YAML files in Kubernetes (https://github.com/rabbitmq/messaging-topology-operator). This way all the desired state is in one single place and the Kubernetes operator reconciles such that this declaratively declared desired schema is created within RabbitMQ.

I cannot imagine any college paying 600 million for such a thing. I suspect the writer is very much mistaken on the price and a bit paranoid on the College's motives. Perhaps it is 600 million over 10+ years.

Why they would ever go with Oracle is another mystery as there are a number of vendors who specialize in this type of software for colleges (some of it good, most of it bad), so it would be foolish to explore a solution from Oracle that needs such a high level of customization to fit the needs of a University.

Indeed, I've been Linux-only for a bit over 10 years now, and when I have to do some work on a Windows or Mac for work, Windows with WSL feels a lot better than modern macos. You'll encounter the occasional alien thing when Windows details leak through, but for the most part it just behaves like you expect. If I had to pick a mac or windows pc for daily driver, Windows would be an easy choice now (although as coming of age in the 90s when MS was evil, it's mind-blowing to hear me say this all!)

One area that's interesting, but easy to dismiss because it's the ultimate cross-section of hype (AI and crypto) is bittensor.

I learned 6502 back in the 80's, when it was current. Definitely easier than x86, but I kind of wonder if a modern learner wouldn't constantly be wondering if they were missing something and whether they were actually learning anything on what is now a completely obsolete framework. x86 is more complex, but you can actually see it _do_ something rather than hope that the emulator you're running it on is actually faithful to a real electronic device.
I don't think people that criticize non-admin university employees have any idea how these things work. Not only do they not talk to the people that do the work to find out what they need, they're not open to feedback on the garbage they've cobbled together after they put it in production, and every decision is made assuming faculty, staff, and students are always wrong and they're always right. I could write a book about the things I've seen.
One of my friends works for a bank and her entire team are in a different country. She still needs to go to the office...
I recently left a software dev job in academia, and the amount of inefficiency in the organization is insane.

As part of my off-boarding, the lead engineer mentioned she would ideally like to hire 5 more developers to the team. That would bring the team size up to 15 (8 devs, 2 devops, 2 Ux, 1 graphic designer, 1 pm, 1 eng manager). The team maintains two things:

- The static website for the library

- A pretty basic image server and viewer for the library and museum collections

Sure, the library needs a website, but that shouldn't require more than a person or two to maintain. The image viewer was only used by a handful of people.

But it doesn't matter. The team gets funded because the students will keep paying their tuition. The engineers can keep sitting around watching youtube all day and the world keeps turning.

Perhaps most egregious example was in my first 1:1 -- my manager said, "Don't expect much output from [SENIOR ENGINEER X]. He isn't a good engineer." The organization isn't willing to fire anyone. As a result, the people in charge are the ones who have been around the longest.

That said, it's risky to fire anybody because hiring is so difficult. The salary bands are set at the university level for all employees, which means the maximum a software engineer can make is much lower than market rate. To make matters worse, working "in person" is mandated by the library dean, and the university is in a college town in the middle of nowhere. The interview process also includes NO coding sessions although I'm not sure whether that's due to some corporate process or just incompetence.

To be fair, these sorts of issues aren't exclusive to academia, and I've seen similar issues in large organizations. Somewhat paradoxically, the more bullet-proof the business-model is, the more potential there is for rot to grow in a company.
It's gotten dramatically worse since premium started rewarding payouts for engagement/views, alongside zero moderation. Now there's an actual incentive to be a jerk, a spammer, and make repeated bad faith arguments / "just asking questions" -- people reply, your tweet is seen by more people, you get paid a share of ad revenue.

Then you have the regurgitated messages in replies (AI or otherwise) endlessly copied and distorted. Recently it's been 5+ pages until I see a real reply, while I have 3000+ accounts blocked by now. It's getting harder and harder to find the real person who wrote that witty reply, and not the endless blue check accounts who copy-pasted it to farm engagement on their visibility-boosted tweets.

Genuinely getting more and more unusable.
