> At the current rate of change, ...

We've seen that the rate of change went up hugely when LLMs came around. But the rate of change was much lower before that. It could also be much slower for the foreseeable future.

LLMs are only as good as their training materials. But a lot of what programmers do is not documented anywhere, it happens in their head, and it is in response to what they see around them, not in what they scrape from the web or books.

Maybe what is needed is for organizations to start producing materials for AI to learn from, rather than assuming that all they need is what they find on the web? How much of the effort to "train" AI is just letting them consume the web, and how much is concsiously trying create new learning materials for AI?
At the OS level LineageOS offers per-app network permissions, which I've used and functions as expected.

One quirk from what I understand of this ticket[1] is if there's a proxy set up via a separate internet allowed app it can bypass the restriction via that app. GrapheneOS' implementation is said to prevent this.

Be the change you want to see. How much does it cost to set up a VM in every availability zone for an hour?

Late edit: it would also be cool to see inter-cloud latency.
I would not do it to protect my employer (I don't care about them) but to protect my privacy, not to protect myself from any illegal actions because I'm not really doing any :)

But I'm very principled on this and I will never willingly give it up.
There are videos on his instgram page of him doing Q&As at hacker events and he talks the same way.
Thank God Linus is not from India or Poland (tops on the lists of 'most invaded countries' found on a brief search)
This "system for automatic dumps" 100 percent uses ssh under the hood. Probably with some eternal sudo administrator key.

Personal ssh access is always better (from a security standpoint) than bot tokens and keys.
I don't pick up the phone for unknown numbers so I wonder what the plan would've been for someone like me.
Isn’t AdGuard just dns protection (and Safari extension).
Afaik something like this isn’t easily doable in iOS. Some options are:

* Shadowrocket - you can set complex rules on what hosts/connections should be routed by what, but afaik you are not able to isolate traffic on a per-app basis.

* I think you can set up per-app VPN on iOS, but you must use MDM, can’t do it on an unmanaged profile. Link: https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/vpn-overview-depa...
We are talking about EVs.
That is the letter of the law, yes. I would suggest though that the spirit / intent behind the law includes fostering a community, which in turn encourages open and clear communication.
I'm afraid that in the current technofeodalism this is going to be a similar, decades lasting, battle as we've had with tobacco, oil, farma, PFAS industries. Hoping to be wrong naturally.
What a sad day for open source. I expected better from Linus Torvalds. I know writing more will just get this post removed.
Demystifying SSR-Encoder: Encoding Selective Subject Representation
Subject-driven image generation is challenging. It aims to capture the most informative representation of a subject. Some approaches require very costly fine-tuning, and others require encoding the reference image into an image embedding to bypass the fine-tuning cost.

SSR-Encoder is a model-generalizable encoder that can guide a customized diffusion model for single subject-driven generation or multiple subject-driven generation based on the image representation selected by the text query or mask query without additional test-time fine-tuning.
He covers this in TFA:

> And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren't troll farm accounts - the "various compliance requirements" are not just a US thing.
> You would have the US just.. give Taiwan over to China, against the will of Taiwan's own people

According to this article, Taiwanese still want to do business with China, so your suggestion is to prevent Taiwanese to do business with China, against their will? wait, something doesn't sound right, i can't pin point it just yet!

> Expand those security requirements to international technology partners. If it's a race, incentivize partners to support our interests.

Well, again, according to this article, Taiwanese wants China as partners, at a least as business partners

You keep contradicting yourself.. oh wait...

> incentivize partners to support our interests

oh right! your interests above theirs! now it all make sense! thanks

They ask you to call them back. They ask you to go to the website to lookup the number yourself.
Why should this be a problem for anyone outside of China? It's only when the same people can read your messages and send dudes with guns to your doorstep if they don't like what they see that things actually get dangerous.
I agree. It's not big deal. The Russian team can just fork the kernel, and manage it under their own legal structures. It's really not that hard. Indeed CentOS was maintained by just one person for many years.

It's not a big deal for Linux either, the code in question is mostly for devices that are not sold in the west. So no loss there.

That's the beauty of open source, you can say no to contributions for any reason whatsoever, and the contributor can fork your code and continue to develop it as they please.
Oh yes, sorry I meant to write 3 * O(n) which though doesn't change the order is still three times the operations. The example I was remembering was doing filters 'inside' maps.
How could science, a collaborative international endeavour in most fields survive and thrive with a isolationist government ?
Agreed the network is much denser in Europe than the USA. This is obvious if you've really tried looking for network infrastructure services. The USA is just where a lot more high-level services are, like social media, due to the peculiarities of capitalism. There's no shortage of infrastructure there either, of course.

Data caps are apparently illegal here. This is good for the quality of infrastructure.

And if you have customers somewhere else you want to be in that place, or close to it network-wise.

You can build a "spin launcher" on the moon. Vacuum is a non issue there. A much bigger problem is that SpinLaunch does not have a design that is viable for the moon, because an optimal tether launcher uses kilometer long tethers to achieve the same velocity at low g forces.
I disagree 100% in this specific case. The Republican Party is choosing to deny climate change, to root out the EPA, to get rid of the NOAA, of all things. This is a cult whose brains have been seized, like in mad cow disease. It must be rooted out.

EVERY science publication should come out and do an explicit disendorsement of Trump and the entire party, even if they don't endorse KH.

If I recall correctly Roblox and some others had already made suggestions that the parents are responsible. Which is not fair IMO as the power asymmetry is immense.
Yes, wrote quickly without thinking. Even if it doesn't change the complexity, it's still three or four times the operations.
This reminds of the Anti-German sentiment during WWI.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-German_sentiment

"The Justice Department attempted to prepare a list of all German aliens, counting approximately 480,000 of them. The Committee of Internment of Alien Enemies recommended sending them to internment camps, though the idea was opposed by the War Department and the Attorney General. More than 4,000 German aliens were imprisoned in 1917–1918. The allegations included spying for Germany and endorsing the German war effort.

When the United States entered the war in 1917, some German Americans were looked upon with suspicion and attacked regarding their loyalty. Propaganda posters and newspaper commentary fed the growing fear. In Wisconsin, a Lutheran minister faced suspicion for hosting Germans in his home, while a language professor was tarred and feathered for having a German name and teaching the language. The Red Cross barred individuals with German last names from joining in fear of sabotage. One person was killed by a mob; in Collinsville, Illinois, German-born Robert Prager was dragged from jail as a suspected spy and lynched. Some aliens were convicted and imprisoned on charges of sedition for refusing to swear allegiance to the United States war effort. Thousands were forced to buy war bonds to show their loyalty."
> So Linus exposed his Russophoby

Is it irrational to not accept the work of individuals who work for sanctioned orgs, in a country which claims to have no borders, and threatens to attack the West with nuclear weapons every couple months?

> Sometimes you need a hit in the head to understand the reality.

Please expand on exactly what you mean by this.
Intelligence is the mitigation of uncertainty. If it does not mitigate uncertainty it is not intelligence.

Mitigation is the determinant resolve. Does saying “intelligence is the determinant resolve of uncertainty “ hurt or help?

Uncertainty is the unresolved distribution of potential. Does saying “intelligence is the determinant resolve of the distribution of potential [toward certainty/state]” help or hurt?

Intelligence is the mitigation of uncertainty. If it does not mitigate uncertainty, it is not intelligence.
Sarcastic? Okay, if you say so.

Picking out an obvious define function that compares a float with a float sum of that nature should indicate an good understanding of why that might be called wizardry and deserving of a second look.

Hats off to the peer comment that suggested scaling against epsilon rather than simpliy regurging the substitution "as was" from the header.

The scaling is better in general, optional in some specific contexts.
I don't have a physics masters degree, or anything comparable, but when I read "Astrophysicists have a new suggestion: Dark matter could sap angular momentum from the two black holes and nudge them closer" I also thought "Really? Is dark matter now the stand-in explanation for anything unexplainable?"

But who knows, when one day someone will come up with a better model that does away with the "dark matter kludge", it will turn out that these phenomena actually have a common root cause?
Actually, entering _anything_ that looks like a FQDN should automatically bypass search in any browser. It’s been a long-standing pain of mine that when browsers merged the URL and search fields it became impossible to type “home.lan” (or .local, or .internal) and have it just work without stomping out http:// in front.
I had a podcast conversation about this recently: https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/ai-tools-for-soft...

I think LLMs mean developers can build stuff faster, which reduces the cost of developing software.

My optimistic scenario is that this expands the market for custom software, a lot. Companies that would never have considered developing their own software - because they'd need six developers working for twelve months - can now afford to do so, because they need two developers for three months instead.

The result is more jobs for engineers, and engineers become more valuable because they'd can get more done.

I'm not an economist so I won't pretend I'm confident this will happen, but it's my optimistic scenario.
Actually, I did take some content from wikipedia regarding HEX/RGBA/HSL/etc colors and stuff it all together into one big variable. Then, on each sub-page reload I generate random content via Markov chain function, which outputs semi-readable content that is unique on each reload.

Not sure it helps in SEO though...

This is just an unfortunate consequence of how map and filter are implemented via iterators.

Of you work with transducers, the map filter map reduce is still just one single loop.

That gist is pretty close to what I’ve been looking for; thank you! Examples of a chat session that resulted in a usable project are /very/ helpful. Unfortunately, the gist demonstrates, to me at least, that the models don’t know enough about the languages I wish to use.

Those prompts might be sufficient enough to result in deployable HTML/JS code comprised of a couple hundred lines of code but that’s fairly trivial in my definition. I’m not trying to be rude or disrespectful to you; within my environment, non-trivial projects typically involve an entire microservice doing even mildly interesting business logic and offering some kind of API or integration with another, similarly non-trivial API—usually both. And they’re typically built on languages that are compiled either to libraries/executables or they’re compiled to bytecode for the JVM/CLR.

Again, I’m not trying to be disrespectful. You’ve built some really great stuff and I appreciate you sharing your experiences; I wish I knew some of the things you do—you keep writing about your experiences and I’ll keep reading ‘em, we can learn together. The problem is that I’m beginning to recognize that these models are perhaps not nearly ready for the kinds of work I want or need to do, and I’m feeling a bit bummed that the capabilities the industry currently touts are significantly more overhyped than I’d imagined.
And right now Linus is not putting up, is suddenly actively refusing to put up, and we're all very concerned about that.

As an open source community leader, putting up consists of leading well, and transparently. It's not just a coding role. He may have inherited the leadership role by being the original coder but he has to keep it by being a worthy leader.

I speculate Linus or Greg received the equivalent of a National Security Letter. Otherwise they could point to the regulations.
As a European, I'm still kind of confused about what law is being used to remove Russian contributions here. Sanctions against Russia are mostly aimed at either entire trade sectors or at individual powerful Russians to put pressure on the leadership through the corruption already there.

It's possible some intelligence agency has identified backdoors placed by the Russian state and they're using this as an excuse to make larger changes without showing their hand, but in that case I'd say Torvalds has already said too much by even responding to these emails.

As for Linux itself, I'm not entirely sure where its geographical representation is. Torvalds lives in the USA, as a full citizen, the Linux Foundation that sponsors Linux is American, so going by him as project owner would probably mean the project isn't Finnish. It was started and got some major development back in Finland, though, and most contributions are submitted from countries all over the world.

I don't think Finland can make Torvalds do much in terms of kicking out Russian contributions, but the American government could.
And then the next paragraph of the wikipeida: "In Chicago, Frederick Stock was forced to step down as conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra until he finalized his naturalization papers. Orchestras replaced music by German composer Wagner with French composer Berlioz. After xenophobic Providence Journal editor John R. Rathom falsely accused Boston Symphony Orchestra conductor Karl Muck of refusing to play The Star-Spangled Banner and triggered a trial by media in October 1917, Muck and 29 of the orchestra's musicians were arrested and interned in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, until well after the Armistice. "
The downtime here is mostly OVH's fault. They're not known for fast support on hardware failures, that's why they're cheap. If they had this architecture on AWS EC2 and could just spin up a new AMI, then they'd only have a few minutes downtime, and the same simple architecture.

You should do the squashing/fixing regularly too, not once right at the end. Again, rebasing gives you the chance to fix these things as soon as it happens, rather than deal with one massive merge conflict at the end of a long running feature branch.
Also one of the reasons I seriously appreciate Firefox, because you can still have a dedicated search box to the right side of the URL entry field/address bar, and easily reach it by hotkey by command-K on MacOS or other similar shortcuts on Linux, Windows.

The number of times I've typed some internal-only thing or raw IP address into a browser and had it go to a search page instead of the thing I want to talk to, I've lost track of in the past 15 years, and it's too damn high.
Thanks! Two of them are there! Or, sort of, three of them.

The Space Invaders game is http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/qvaders.html, built on the game engine in http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/qj2d.js. An earlier version without the engine, the explosions, or the Xbox support is at http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/invaders.html.

The minimal roguelike is http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/wmaze.fs. It runs in a few different Forths (GForth is probably the easiest) but I haven't ported it to F83 yet. There's an asciicast at https://asciinema.org/a/672405. I'm kind of a novice at Forth, so I might not be doing things in the best way.

The ASCII-art rotating cube is http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/netbook-misc-devel/rotcube.p.... It's actually only 15 lines of Python.

This is a strange time to be imposing chip sanctions, given AI isn’t at the forefront at real scale yet.

They’re still able to access compute now, albeit at a higher cost. But in the future when scale and margins are much more relevant than today, that won’t be the case.

Market forces to develop IC tech (lithography, foundries, patents, etc..) inside China are surging. So by the time they really need quantity, it’s much more likely they’ll have a domestic high end IC supply chain implemented.

Obviously nobody could really predict the timelines with good certainty, but it seems like a good development for them long term.

In fact, for scientists, whether or not to believe in global climate change is a very clear dividing line. Essentially, the existence of climate change is a scientific consensus, and denying its existence is equivalent to rejecting science...

But I also want to point out that Nature has different political views from scientists: they want more research funding, which makes sense for a publisher that profits from government research funding worldwide.
Yes but at that point you might as well squash down to one commit and rebase because now you're tracking "history" which is useless, rather than tracking changes/versions.
By technical, it means decision is to be made objectively through logical reasoning following certain rules. It is a patch at the end and should follow kernel development process. However, the reason for that patch removing Russian maintainers until now is still not made fully transparent by either GKH or Linus. Instead, calling it "I am Finish" and "Russian aggression" has nothing to do with the patch itself and is not constructive discussion. Even we trace down to the road, none of the maintainers today has done that aggression to Finland. If the reasoning of rejecting the revert patch is "Compliance issues based on our lawyers suggestsion" etc. then just say it.

Smarter Than 'Ctrl+F': Linking Directly to Web Page Content
Performance is not only wall clock time. With high latency, I/O bound tasks, the cost will be often determined by how much memory you need. And in the cloud, you can’t pay for memory alone. The more memory you need, the more vcores you have to reserve. You might end up in a situation your cpus are mostly idling, but you can’t use fewer cores because of RAM needed to keep the state of thousands of concurrent sessions. In this case Rust async can bring a tremendous advantage over other languages, particularly Java and Go.
