> what about dishes that get captured by Russia?

If Ukraine is whitelisting this doesn't seem to be a problem

- Ukraine can set validation rules, such as needing to be verified every 24 hrs. Make this possible to do on a per-key basis since some will be more at risk than others.
- Give an API to set certain rules to keys too. Like how fast it is able to move or based on any metadata.
- Only allow dishes that have been white listed via an official Ukrainian signing key access to working in that region of the world.
- Allow Ukraine to choose which licenses to approve and revoke because yeah, Russia, please take the dish so that Ukraine can get more information on Russian targets. If Russians steal a dish, the dish is known to be stolen, and the Ukrainians still have access to the dish's metadata, well you may not be able to see the drones but they are broadcasting their GPS coordinates to you...

> As noted, what about all the privately paid-for dishes?

There's usually certain concessions in war. I don't know the dynamics to have an opinion here. But possible solutions are let Ukraine deal with that or provide different capabilities to private dishes such as rate limiting or feature limiting. You could even just provide all data to Ukraine for dishes in their territory.

I'm spitballing here, but my point is that these don't seem insurmountable problems. Like you say, there are costs and benefits, but a few of these suggestions would reduce costs while allowing Ukraine to keep benefits.
I dislike copyright as much as the next guy, but the people who want to write and share free books can (and do) do that now as well.

I also cannot believe that this is the 9.9 rated CVE. For comparison, heartbleed was a 7.5. I was awaiting a Total Linux Meltdown at best and a collapse of the world economy at worst with the amount of hyping up and fearmongering that the author did on social media.
It's not at all a dick move to block IPs that essentially DDOS your free services.

Google, Amazon, you name it do this infinite times a day with crawlers.

If you build a business on taking resources from some public source, on a large scale, you could very well be out of a business at any time. This has been the case for a long, long time. And nobody seems to take issue with it.
By law, we need to be able to disconnect any product whose core functionality does not depend on the network.

Maybe it's cynical to think that way but maybe it's a way to crush the competition before it even begins: I would probably not invest in researching LLMs now, knowing that there is a company that will very likely produce a model close enough for free and I will likely never make back the investment.
Not be be nitpicky, but being the first to deploy recent academic research papers to production should count as a breakthrough IMHO.

Nice to see a new release coming out not too long after such a question :)
I’m not sure using it is illegal.

The Zip filesystem stuff is wonderful change to see: it takes a number of techniques that were common in the community (if you had the right tools and knew how to use them) for building standalone applications, and makes them part of the basic toolkit in a standard way. It's a truly excellent change, and I'm glad to see it.

I understand the sentiment but to be fair this is currently happening everywhere but only the rich people have access as they are the only one who have lawyers on retainer.

Access to legal services to poor will change things. In short term, judicial system will be overwhelmed and are forced to adopt new and efficient procedures.
Yeah seems kind of like a futile effort, even the piratebay is (somehow) still online to this day.
Wow, yea, the performance gains and new UX features (JSON_TABLE, MERGE improvements, etc) are huge here, but these really stand out to me:

> PostgreSQL 17 supports using identity columns and exclusion constraints on partitioned tables.

> PostgreSQL 17 also includes a built-in, platform independent, immutable collation provider that's guaranteed to be immutable and provides similar sorting semantics to the C collation except with UTF-8 encoding rather than SQL_ASCII. Using this new collation provider guarantees that your text-based queries will return the same sorted results regardless of where you run PostgreSQL.
What it means for libgen to exist in the broader sense is that we are used to pilfering what we value but cannot afford.
And I thought the plot point of the film Elysium was a bit far fetched.
Standard fare:

BigIP iRules in F5 network appliances (and A10 appliances)[0], orchestration in Argonne National Labs super computer[1], Tealeaf[2], Python Tkinter[3] …

I use it day to day because it’s got a great balance of Lispyness and simple scriptyness, and a great C interface. It’s got a fine REPL, and can be built up (by writing in C) with extensions that are 100% first-class canonical Tcl, in good part (wholly?) because Tcl is such a simple language[4], and homoiconic[5]. A joy to develop in and use.

In a better world, the government would run something like libgen. That shit’s a public good.
> This is a form of regulatory capture. You get a lead against your competition and then persuade governments to make it hard for people to follow you by imposing rules and regulations.

They were not making it hard to follow them. That's the point. They were saying they themselves don't really know what they're doing, while saying open source should be protected from any regulations imposed on them.

Hard to go past them, perhaps; but even then, given the scale of compute for training bigger models, the only people who could even try would have an easy time following whatever rules are created.
So, that creates a world (not too dissimilar to our own, but notably so) where only the independently wealthy can ever afford to produce art full time. Can you see any downsides to that world?

FWIW the associated crime wave was much broader than carjacking (and I’m actually not aware of a particular increase in carjackings specifically due to the Kia issues but I don’t know) but the Kia issues seem to have started in Milwaukee.

For whatever reason, it became A Thing here more than a year before it went national. Car thefts in Milwaukee more than doubled (entirely due to a stupidly large increase in Kia/Hyundai thefts) and we got a reputation for Kia thefts before it became a national issue
I'm gonna give this a 10/10 meh. Not up to all the hype that was created around it.
It used to be the other way around. It’s been a while since I did much UI work, but the web always felt incredibly frustrating for layout compared to Tk. (I think CSS finally has something approaching Tk’s grid layout manager?) There are fewer frameworks for Tk, but I think it has most things you’d need. Maybe some of the finer control over fonts etc is lacking.

This is a fantastic insight and put very well. Thank you.

New platforms unlock rare opportunities for new languages that have no baggage and can focus on fully exploiting the new platform.

In the U.S., by 2026, all new cars must have a "kill switch", and that includes a remote operation. The requirement is about preventing drunk driving, but it's being interpreted by many to require a kill switch.

Here's the NHTSA report to Congress about this:

https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/2023-07/Report-t...

> Section 24220, “ADVANCED IMPAIRED DRIVING TECHNOLOGY,” of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), enacted as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), directed that “not later than 3 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall issue a final rule prescribing a Federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS) under section 30111 of title 49, United States Code, that requires passenger motor vehicles manufactured after the effective date of that standard to be equipped with advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology.” Further, the issuance of the final rule is subject to subsection (e) “Timing,” which provides for an extension of the deadline if the FMVSS cannot meet the requirements of 49 USC 30111.

Now, I don't see anything in there about a "rmeote switch", and I don't understand how the "remote" bit would work to prevent DUI.
This release is good on so many levels. Just the performance optimisations and the JSON TABLE feature could be entirely separated release, but we got so much more.
It isn’t clear if this is a big deal or not. It "sank" several months ago while docked near Wuhan and may have already been refloated. It is a little odd to service a nuclear submarine hundreds of km inland.
The right way to reduce the cost of incarcerating people is to end mass incarceration, not to kill people. Just shooting everybody on LWOP in the head won't do nearly as much.

Further, I think that we should have a high expense per prisoner. It should cost society something to imprison somebody, since crime is in many ways a product of society's systems and choices. A world with mass incarceration and a focus on reducing the cost of the prison system is a world that basically necessitates abuse.
Its not a crazy concept , the real world non-idealized version of your statement is called tax. We pay taxes for access to free public services.
I have to disagree with that. Yes, ideally we should only believe things for which there is proof, but that is simply not an option for a great many things in our lives and the universe.

A lot of the time we have to fall back to estimating how plausible something is based on the knowledge we do have. Even in science it’s common for outcomes to be probabilistic rather than absolute.

So I say there is no god because, to my mind, the claim makes no sense. There is nothing I have ever seen, or that science has ever collected data on, to indicate that such a thing is plausible. It’s a myth, a fairy tale. I don’t need to prove otherwise because the onus of proof is on the one making the incredible claim.

> New Notifiers: The central event handling engine in Tcl is now constructed on top of the system calls epoll or kqueue when they are available. The select based implementation also remains for platforms where they are not.

This is huge! A big portion of why concurrency in Tcl was so dated and why the language was considered so non-performant was because it relied on `select` despite `epoll` and `kqueue` being available for at least a decade.

Tcl is one of my favorite languages because of how easy it is to get started with and how easy metaprogramming is.

The idea is you write bug filled code but someone notices and fixes some of those bugs and soethe code counts as newer but it also has less bugs and eventualay enough bugs are fixed that nobody has to touch it and then the now bug free code gets old.

Any rational person reading what I actually wrote would disagree with just about everything you say here.

You try to be clever twisting what was actually written, but in the end this new version is something you've written. It is what you say, not what I said. While the words are similar, they have been subtly altered to change the meanings, making them your words, not mine, and most importantly these words you've written are false.

You've twisted the words just enough so any reader skimming lightly might be confused, and misled into a consistency trap of agreement. Very subtle and skilled which only increases the loss of credibility when it is found out.

Your motivation for this begs an important question about your character, and credibility as a whole is lost.

Good people don't do this, and there can be no mistake as to whether this was intentional given the level of attention and effort you invested coupled with the clear skill that can only come from practice.

Thank you. You thoroughly make my point about how no online places being safe, as this type of subtle deceptions and behavior is what children will have to interact with and they are at a stage of development that is inherently vulnerability lacking the tools to communicate or identify the faults.

People would only call what I've written cynical, in contexts of opinion when I was talking about opinion, but I used facts and references (not the same meaning), providing rational methods of support. You would imply this is an unbacked opinion as a nullification attempt, but this doesn't work on the rational, and rationality is one of the few things that separate humanity from the animal kingdom.

You should know that these tactics and techniques you use would at one point have gotten the outcome you desired, and it may fool some of the more gullible masses for now, but that number is shrinking. The knowledge is becoming common knowledge, and when it does people like you will have nothing left.

As with all deceptions, it lacks a core consistent truth, which can't fool people all the time. The more examples you provide, the more widespread knowledge of it spreads. What you hope to keep under wraps, will eventually be known by all and then you'll be left with nothing.

Based on your objective actions, I must conclude you are a malevolent blind person desperately lost and seeking to bring destruction in its various forms to those around you for some as of yet unknown motivation towards some selfish benefit .

There is only one cure for the malady you have, and eventually someone will give you that cure since you can no longer help yourself. All I can do is pray for a swift recovery.

Downlink is often a huge bottleneck for satellites. I’m guessing that this means the Remote Sensing satellites can hugely up what they can image.

I agree with you but a lot of the demand for GUI tools is small tools. Think something like Postman: it's really just a code editor widget to put in some request metadata and a table view storing requests.

"Inside the fort" is a metaphor for a single server, not anything involving a network.
To stick with the metaphor, it's not super unclear if agency is within grasp or on the other side of an abyss. LLMs are definitely an improvement, but it's not at all clear if they can scale to human-level agency. If they reach that, it's even more unclear if they could ever reach superhuman levels given that all their training data is human-level.

And finally, we can see from normal human society that it is hardly ever the smartest humans who achieve the most or rise to the highest levels of power. There is no reason to believe that an AI with agency would an inherent "it's over" scenario

I'd say the number is at least capped at about 100 billion, but that depends on how tightly you define "person" and "place" (not even getting into the specifics of "autistic").

E.G. if you want your instances of "people" to be active, we're now capped at roughly 8 billion, since 92% of instances have already been garbage collected in this run.

I would still recommend planning a Long integer, just to get yourself some room for error.
