Right, but I suspect people would like to use it to run VMs rather than start developing it. If the indent is to invite developers who "know rust", then that is the wrong measuring bar (IMO, of course), as you'd want developers who are interested in hypervisors instead of a specific language.
Book Review: Deep Utopia
Incredible, but a shame you'll have to use Adobe to get it.
The "axles" on Hot Wheels were a joke of a very thin metal wire. I had many Hot Wheels with bent axles, but I don't remember any of the Matchbox cars doing that. Sadly, as an adult spending enough time on the road as a driver, I've seen my fair share of real cars with wheels that eerily reminded me of those Hot Wheels.

Before I had cats, I used to think of them in terms of other animals. What I mean is that a dog or a horse is very defined by its skeletal structure. They are like popsicle stick armatures with some flesh thrown on.

Now I think of cats more like amorphous blobs with some hard bits stuck on. I think anyone who owns a cat will know what I mean by this.
My point is that Open Source isn't necessary for it, aka "open source without forking" is sufficient

AI Agents Can Now Integrate with Services Autonomously [video]
With a new protocol, AI agents can now autonomously discover and integrate with services in real time. No prior setup or manual intervention is required, making it easier for agents to access and use third-party tools, services, and APIs. This development marks a key step toward a more seamless, machine-friendly digital ecosystem.

And YES It is a problem which needs to be fixed, increases risk and costs. Don't say its not a problem.

How would this kind of thing work in practice? You move the telescope out to 500AU, and then... what? I assume the telescope would have to line up a potential star system with our sun in a direct line. So the telescope would have to move around until everything is lined up. Then I presume it would need to take a wide angle view of that star system to look for a likely planet. Would it need to move closer or farther away from our sun to get a wider field of view? Once it found a suitable planet, I presume it would need to collect light from that planet over an extended period of time, say 6 months. But, the planet is moving during those six months. How does the telescope keep the planet in view? Is the telescope constantly moving to keep pace with the planet? How much fuel would we have to send out there with the telescope?

At Listen Notes, we rely heavily on Cloudflare to manage and protect our services, which cater to both human users and scripts/bots.

One particularly effective strategy we've implemented is using separate subdomains for services designed for different types of traffic, allowing us to apply customized firewall and page rules to each subdomain.

For example:

- www. listennotes.com is dedicated to human users. E.g., https://www.listennotes.com/podcast-realtime/

- feeds. listennotes.com is tailored for bots, providing access to RSS feeds. Eg., https://feeds.listennotes.com/listen/wenbin-fangs-podcast-pl...

- audio. listennotes.com serves both humans and bots, handling audio URL proxies. E.g., https://audio.listennotes.com/e/p/1a0b2d081cae4d6d9889c49651...

This subdomain-based approach enables us to fine-tune security and performance settings for each type of traffic, ensuring optimal service delivery.

The default for “Agrees to marketing” controls if the box defaults to checked on checkout, so I do think if the store disabled that you wouldn’t be subscribed.

My theory is it started by accident- if you get a notification that says, “this checkout, this email, agrees to marketing: true”, it sure reads like an opt-in, and it used to be reliable. But it’s not anymore, because your email is already attached to the checkout when its created.

“Agrees to Marketing” pre-dates the global Shop session by years, it’s plausibly an ecosystem bug; one with no real motivation to solve until customers start talking (more)

As the video games people know, piracy is preservation and preservation nearly always requires "piracy". It's very clear from the way the Internet Archive works that pre-emptively taking a copy without permission is the only way to guarantee that copies actually exist.

> You are literally suggesting that we take proprietary, copyrighted code and release it under an open source license with no standing, rights, or ownership. It's insane to even suggest this. If you put the source code for Windows 95 online, you'd be sued into a pile of ashes by MS within 10 minutes.

Yeah, legal preservation efforts will probably never get that. The torrent is still out there if you just want to look at it, though.

Not bad, but what's up with the audience? Is there an Adobe cult or something?
Sure, keyboards, buttons, and screens on computers also aren't essential, you can still buy brand new computers that are programmed by hard wiring your program into a plugboard ( https://the-analog-thing.org )- but in both cases I think the utility is so reduced there are much fewer use cases where they are even worth having.
I'm making some big assumptions about Adobe's product ideation process, but: This seems like the "right" way to approach developing AI products: Find a user need that can't easily be solved with traditional methods and algorithms, decide that AI is appropriate for that thing, and then build an AI system to solve it.

Rather than what many BigTech companies are currently doing: "Wall Street says we need to 'Use AI Somehow'. Let's invest in AI and Find Things To Do with AI. Later, we'll worry about somehow matching these things with user needs."

feminism: the advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes.

Unless you don’t believe sexes are equal you are a feminist. If you are not a feminist you are a sexist.
I think a perfectly designed being would not require killing to live, would run on sunlight or other direct power sources and be steady state or mostly steady state.

If we ever make silicone man that runs on sunlight then I'll say, "ah, this looks like a being created by a moral intelligent designer".

It's going to be pretty revealing when a creature with such "lowborne morals" as ourselves creates a being that can function and operate without the explicit need to kill something every ~7 days to survive.
Any sufficiently vague label is useless.

DevOps suffers exactly the same.

If "feminism" means "advancement of womens issues", "a defence of misandry" or "equality" to different people, yet they all would be correctly identified as being Feminists, then it ceases to have any value as a label.

If I criticise someone for conducting themselves in a way that generalises, denigrates and alienates a gender; I could be called "pro-feminist", despite talking against a person who could equally be described the same way. It's useless.

Egalitarianism[0] is the correct word for believing in equality in society. Bonus points: it's not gendered.

At that time CS:GO would cost around $3 during various Steam sales and it was possible to buy a huge amount of gift copies that could be stored in your Steam inventory. So one "legit" account would buy lots of copies and then "gift" them to new accounts that would go on a cheating spree.

> And then you go and point to Hinkley Point C with a ridiculously subsidized CFD as a "good example".

Where did I point to HPC as a "good example"? Nowhere, that's where.

It is the worst example, currently, of a nuclear construction project gone awry, and last I checked will be the most expensive pair of nuclear reactors in history, by a good margin.

And even that will be ridiculously profitable given the negotiated price, which is the same price that various UK off-shore wind projects are getting. Except that HPC power will be reliable. And there will be lots of it. And the plants will last for a very long time.

Just like Georgia Power had to increase their electricity prices to pay for the disastrous Vogtle-3/4 projects. To less than half the price of electricity in California, the US's intermittent renewables poster-boy.

Fun fact: the worst of nuclear power is better than the best of intermittent renewables.

Knowing nothing, I was curious (there's also an apnea comment). It seems travel CPAP and APAP (auto pressure) is a thing, but travel BiPAP (inhale/exhale pressures; required by some conditions) not so much. A recent reddit comments suggest non-existent (exhalation relief only). Most all need Heat Moisture Exchange plugs. Yet I noticed eg the Philips BiPAP Pro Bi-Flex, bit of a brick (1.5 kg; 2500 linear cm - but qualifies as a medical device), but its spec says ok for airlines w/o humidifier attachment. So I'm puzzled.

I think an idea from the 80s is going to resurface:

Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE)

In the modern incarnation of case, architecture and component design is going to be the key human tasks. AI will generate the actual code.

The AI will be fed architecture and design languages such as ArchiMate and UML and will generate code. Once that is in play, they'll start working on AI-assisted architecture and design. Will AI ever be able to operate the entire pipeline end-to-end without a human? Most likely not, at least not any time in the foreseeable future. Will there be significantly fewer people involved in software development? Yes. Probably 80+% fewer people.

Should you teach your kids how to code? Yes - but coding in the future is what we now call "architecture" and "design."

Out of curiosity I was checking on the status of HoloLens:

> Microsoft has confirmed it will stop manufacturing the HoloLens 2 at the end of 2027.

It would be funny if AR turns out to be another (iOS/Android) platform that MS misses out on. But with Meta moving so slowly and Apple also giving up, there's plenty of time to change their mind again.
Anything that tries to hide the unsubscribe link or makes it especially difficult to unsubscribe, not only gets unsubscribed from, but also gets marked as spam by me in Gmail. I'm guessing that not only does Gmail filter spam by content heuristics (dick pills, Nigerian princes, etc) but also considers the number of times a sender has been reported as sending spam by users. I'm putting out hope that by clicking that spam button, the sender gets closer to being marked as a spammer for everyone.

The one great thing about email is that your email provider isn't paid for delivering spam to your inbox unlike the USPS. There's zero incentive for Gmail to deliver anything but legitimate emails from responsible senders whereas the USPS will gladly deliver presorted mail because they've been paid to do so. I kind of wish I could pay USPS to not deliver junk mail.
> We are rounding civilian casualties to integers. This is a necessarily inexact science.

I think what he's suggesting is that of the Israeli casualties on October 7th, we have no accurate breakdown for how many were caused by IDF implementing the "Hannibal procedure". It's possible the answer is "A LOT".

https://archive.is/4mtXW https://archive.is/romMZ (Haaretz articles)

One case in which it is known that civilians were hit, a case that received wide coverage, took place in the house of Pessi Cohen at Kibbutz Be'eri. 14 hostages were held in the house as the IDF attacked it, with 13 of them killed.
Within limits. Because it also allows all sorts discrimination against folks that as a society we have decided not to allow. The question then becomes where to draw the line, not allegiance to the principle at all cost.

I stopped using one ereader we had because the damn touchscreen kept flipping the page if e.g. a blanked brushed it while I was reading in bed.

Buttons were absolutely perfect for this use case, on a dedicated e-reader—less so, say, an iPad mini that also does other stuff, but also those nicer touchscreens don't accidentally trigger as often so it's not as big a problem. Touch screen is nice for navigating menus but should be disabled when reading.

> You can be a "senior full stack" developer in the WordPress ecosystem but you'll hit a wall once you start applying for more general PHP roles as everything from the standard coding style to how classes and namespaces are used are worlds apart.

I once taught someone to make this jump, who was convinced he would never be able to. It is definitely a mindset change but I think a good developer can do it.
Especially since these days, class and namespace stuff and Composer dependencies are increasingly common in plugin development.

I love Laravel (especially with Lighthouse) but I think the hooks/actions model in WordPress is underrated in its simplicity and appropriateness for the task.

> Is it all that repressed guilt from invading Indian lands or something?

I don't think you have to look that far back to find fairly convincing arguments that the US is the architect of much of its own immigration "problems." Most illegal immigrants come to the US from Latin American countries that the US spent a lot of time interfering with in very recent history.

Consider Guatemala. Democratically elected president overthrown with CIA support in 1954 so that US fruit companies could keep up their profits by exploiting people. The 1950s weren't that long ago.

Consider El Salvador. During their recent (ended: 1992) civil war the US funded the right-wing government that according to the UN committed 85% of atrocities during the war. The US government then refused to grant asylum and legal protections to refugees, which contributed heavily to MS13 forming in LA. The US then deported many of these gang members back to El Salvador, which did a huge amount of damage to their development after the war.

Wrt Mexico's gangs, most of the demand for their products come from US customers.

Wrt Venezuela, whether the sanctions are right or wrong there's no doubt that they're hurting people there economically.

Given what the US has done to these countries (and others) in living memory, I don't think we have much of a moral right to turn these people away. I've also never had a single negative experience (and many positive ones) with immigrants from these countries (I live in an area with many of them), nor am I convinced that they're even an economic drag on the country.

Right, genetic and morphological lineage data among hominidae and other families look exactly like you'd expect from unguided mutation.

The Search for Speed in Figma
It's naive to think that a civics class or an ethics class is free of foundational prejudices. You suggest empowering a group of people to choose what to teach, and what not to teach, and thereby decide what constitutes "civics" or "ethics". And you advocate that this is outside of a parent's scope.

That's a priestly caste. Of if, as you say, there may be a problem in the formulated standards, then the body that formulates the standards would be the priestly caste. I don't have a problem with the concept, actually, but it's best to call it what it is. Pretending that this would be perfectly neutral is daft.
