> 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.

What's isane is that you are not legally allowed to release code that hasn't had any commercial value whatsoever for ages or where it takes a full legal team to even find out who might "own" the rights. Copyright is positively bonkers.

I'm not insulting you, I'm merely stating you have an aggressive and patronizing attitude comment after comment which is a fact.

> I’m sorry to belabor this but you probably don’t know how growth and death cycles work.

> Sorry that’s just life.

> I think maybe you could just reread this as you being informed by someone who worked on this for many many years at internet scale. It’s ok to have less knowledge or be misinformed about something.

It's okay to share expertise, but this is better done with data (which you have provided none) and without that very sad aggressive attitude. "I know better, because I know and you don't" is no argument.

"The numbers for this and that huge blogging platform are down year after year" is an argument, yours isn't.
That's interesting! I'm currently learning Hindi, and finding that the word for foot/leg is often interchangeable, too. (In Hindi, 'toes' is also usually expressed as 'fingers of the foot,' which I sometimes misapprehend as 'fingers of the leg')
Having an extra 1:1 ipv6 NAT for ULA is added complexity that wouldn't be neccessary if you just give out static addresses.

Its not like IPv6 /56 subnets are expansive. Just give each customer a full /56 net and you are done.
In my experience, a specific service in "The cloud" has an uptime similar to a single raspberry pi. Some services are more reliable, maybe upto three-nines.

If you design your systems as such - expecting them to fail, then using "the cloud" is fine. If a VM running in AWS goes down, fine, the ones in hertzner continue to work.

There's levels of availability you need -- what services can go down, in what geographic location, and for how long (do you need to go sub-second from all geographic locations? Because I'm not sure you can do that in any situations. On the other extreme are you happy with a TTL of 60 and failover to another IP, which barely counts as available in my book)
Crazy how all of your previous comments have been promoting one app/"tool" after another
The more likely reality is that we have a lot of v4-only hw in place with lifespan of 20+ years. Those devices won't go away.

Heck, I work on embedded, and having a dual-stack system is just a PITA to deal with. If v6 would have been fully retro-compatible this wouldn't have been something to think about, but you can't drop v4 and there's no future in sight where v6 will be the only choice (we'll have dual-stack for a looooong time), so we just push the problem up the chain.

There are plenty of systems being developed _now_ which are still v4 only as a result.
My evaluation:

1. Whoever determined that he does not “deserve” this is wrong. There may be other constraints, but no one gets to frame it as “deserves” when a child wants to learn something.

2. If a teacher is unable to teach Johnny to write a for loop, despite Johnny’s genuine utmost motivation, I would question teacher’s competence or at least fit.

3. Like any mentor, a professor in higher ed may want to choose whom to teach so that own expertise and teaching ability is realized to the fullest. Earlier in life, elementary school teacher’s luxury to do so may be limited (which is why their job is so difficult and hopefully well-compensated), and one bailing on a kid due to lack of patience or teaching competence is detestable.

4. If Johnny continues to pursue this with genuine utmost motivation, he will most likely succeed despite any incompetent teachers. If he does not succeed and yet continues to pursue this to the detriment to his life, that is something a psychologist should help him with.

As for Timmy, if he learns to produce the expected result with least effort, for which he receives constant praise from the teacher, and keeps coasting this way, that does him a major disservice as far as mental mental and self-actualisation in life.

I don’t know what router you use, but openwrt lets you set firewall rules that only match the last 64 bits. This should solve your problem, provided you configure your router to hand out static IPv6 leases to devices.
If your connection to your private cloud passes through public internet, all bets are off. I don't think all companies have their private clouds at the basement level, completely owned data centers, connected via edge switches near the water cooler.
WiseOptIn – Chrome extension to know what you accept before you click 'I Agree'
I’ve built an AI Chrome Extension that automatically score and decipher policies and terms, so you're always informed before clicking the 'Agree' button.
Here’s what it does:
1- Automatically notifies you when you are signing up for a service reminding you to read policies before proceeding.
2- Automatically evaluate and scores policies for you so you can quickly understanding what you are accepting.
3- Ask any followup or clarifying questions to the WiseOptIn Chatbot to understand specific details of the policy.

I’d love you to share your thoughts! I think it tackles a critical issue that many people ignore whilst they should be more aware it.
You may be mistaking “the world” with “education” or “learning”. Producing a result is not evidence of learning progress. During learning, result is a somewhat useful metric if it roughly correlates with the level of effort, but relying only on result when determining whether to praise or reward a person during the learning stage is always a recipe for issues. A student may quickly learn to reproduce the desired result and stop progressing.

Nx Powerpack Moves Previously Free Feature Behind Paywall
The Nx team claims that the new Powerpack only adds new functionality, but recent changes tell a different story. Key features like custom remote caching (e.g., to S3) that were previously free through custom runners are now locked behind a Powerpack subscription.

This sets a troubling precedent: if open-source features can be reclassified as premium, what’s next?

This shift raises concerns about the long-term reliability of OSS as an open and extensible tools. If features can be paywalled overnight, can developers and teams still trust it?

Would love to hear the thoughts of the community on whether this is a fair move or if it signals that we need to start exploring alternatives to Nx.
You can block ipv6 /64 subnets just like you can block IPv4 /32 IPs.
To be fair, Tesla FSD on German Autobahn = impossible because it's not released yet, precisely because it's not trained for German roads.
I'm of two minds on this.

On the one hand, Japanese cities are much denser than North American cities, they have more pedestrians and far less private vehicle traffic, so they can support that kind of thing. In fact, some commercial (retail/nightlife) districts in towns like Osaka and Tokyo would be practically non-viable without that sort of stacked arrangement. I don't know if American downtowns, which are often office districts that are deserted by night, can viably support such an arrangement. They have a different kind of energy.

On the other hand, the zakkyo is popular in Japan, even where it doesn't need to be. Traveling through the country, I was struck by the fact that even small towns, like Abashiri (pop: 35000) in the most distant northeastern corner of the country, have 'em. Here, for instance: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Q6KPReptvyvXxPsP8

Heh, first the ZMachine runs under a PostScript file with the GhostScript interpreter, now this.

But this is a bit of cheating, because it's spawning HTML+JS inside a SVG as a foreign interface in a browser.

zmachine.ps has the whole interpreter in the PS file itself, as it's a Turing Complete language.
Yes, you can play Zork on it.
Wha? The best sci-fi novel ever written? An Ode to free love?

Stranger In A Strange Land is so creepy, I started to wonder about the sanity of Heinlein. A sex cult around a pseudo-alien? C'mon. It feels like it was written by a 14 year old.

I would submit Incandescence as the best sci-fi novel ever written.

But tastes obviously differ.
Governments and ISPs should focus on improving how things work for the public and not make things worse. Seriously. Who are you working for?

> They're saying they find "cat" more natural than "<" which I can understand.

I don’t think that’s what they’re saying. I think they’re making the point that going left to right with the file first is what makes sense to them, as opposed to `... < file.txt`.
I've been using this technique on my cat for a long time. For example, when something scares her, like fireworks in the street, she looks at me with her eyes wide open. In response, I slowly narrowing my eyes to let her know that I am relaxed and she immediately calms down.
Yeah, LLM is kind of just making expensive cheats cheaper. You can do it without LLM, and indeed students did similar things prior to the release of ChatGPT, just less common.
Yeah, reading on a screen is ass. What eReader do you use?

I got a Kobo recently and I don't like it much. It's much duller than my last one, which is either due to the color screen having less contrast or me misremembering.

In this post, you are told about an Islamic talisman with the blessing of which you will be able to attract a suitable, good, and loving partner for marriage within 14 days.
This Islamic Talisman is called a marriage talisman, and it has been used since ancient times to attract a good partner for marriage. Even today, marriage talisman is the best spiritual way to attract a good mate.
So, if you want to marry a particular person but he is not attracted to you, the related person can be attracted to you in 14 days with the blessing of the marriage talisman.
This isn't a good analogy because the people being pickpocketed and the people on the trams are the same people.

I agree. But now some people can point to ChatGPT or other tools and use it as an excuse. So for them, the "bugs" are a feature. They don't care about false positives, they care about the fact some authority tells them a student they don't like used AI to write an essay.

I just deleted my account and switched to an old account and the quality of my recommendations improved by an order of magnitude.

It's probably because I last used that one 10+ years ago when it seems things were a little more lighthearted (at least in my digital world). Going back to that recommendations page in current year was a truly magical experience.

Of course it didn't last though, within a few weeks algorithm was onto me, and went back to showing me the same stuff as on my old account.
You're assuming they don't know about `<file.txt ...` That may be the case, but I can still see an argument for "cat" being more natural than "<" in this context.
> That’s circumstantial evidence, not scientific.

Evidence is evidence. It's not proof, of course, but it's evidence that has to be evaluated, especially in establishing historicity, where experiment is impossible.

> What drives that need? What is so important or dangerous about the object that it must be revealed as a fake to the minuscule amount of Christians out there that believe that it’s not?

This "deep need" is an invention of users. Some people wondered if the object might be the real shroud of Jesus Christ, as it was claimed, or if it is a forgery. Others studied this question using the relevant scientific methods (carbon dating, studying historical sources, fiber analysis, etc) and came up with a scientific answer, with high confidence (but not certainty) it is a 14th century forgery. Literally all of the evidence studied points in that direction, with no credible evidence whatsoever suggesting otherwise.

But, some minority didn't like this answer, and keep inventing reasons why the original investigation (which many of them asked for) was wrong. When we encounter such invented reasons, many of us who care about the truth like to combat it.

So, in summary, it was Christians in the Catholic Church who asked for a scientific investigation of the nature of the Shroud of Turin. The investigation was performed, and it was deemed a forgery. But the Church and some others didn't like the answer of the investigation they themselves asked for, and are now making up facts and methods by which to "scientifically" show that it is in fact a real relic. Some people, both Christian and non-Christian alike, like to debunk pseudo-science wherever they encounter it. That's the whole of this thing.

I wonder if dang uses embeddings, or it just comes naturally.
Just because a method of assessment became easily spoofable doesn't mean we should give up on it. Imagine if in the era before HTTPS we just said that the internet won't be really viable because it's impossible to communicate securely on it.

I still feel like AI detectors would work well if we have access to the exact model, output probabilities of tokens, We can just take a bit of given text, and calculate the cumulative probability that the AI would complete it exactly like that.
Not what enshittification means.
Asking essays to Claude in Italian and inputing them into GPTzero gives very (very) high human percentage. This technology seems already very finicky with English, it's complete crap with other languages.
Oh my god. We might get real life redstone.
Right, that's precisely the currently fashionable belief system as I understand it. But I'm not entirely comfortable praising the US economic system in the fiat-money era 01971–02024 by comparison to the previous 53 years, 01918–01971, which were the last 53 years of the commodity-money era there, except for a short break in the 01920s. I think everyone agrees that the US economy developed in a qualitatively better way from 01918 to 01971 than from 01971 to today, and that there was a sort of discontinuity around 01971.

It's possible that the mainstream economists are right, and that things would be far worse without the shift to fiat money, and it's just a coincidence that it happened at the same time everything started falling apart. We don't have anything like a controlled experiment. A lot of things happened to the US around 01971: the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement, the end of the Apollo program, the War on Drugs, the New Age movement, CREEP, rapprochement with the PRC, the energy crisis, the Clean Air Act, second-wave feminism, Love Canal, etc. Most of these seem like things you'd naïvely expect to reduce domestic economic inequality, though, however detrimental they might have been to the residents of Taipei and especially My Lai. So why did it skyrocket instead?

PG has an innocent explanation: as I understand it, he thinks companies suddenly had to compete for superstars in the job market, abandoning seniority-based pay and thus creating the yuppie and growing wealth inequality. But a plausible alternative explanation is that fiat money rewards elites in nonobvious ways, enabling them to concentrate ownership of the economic base in a smaller and smaller subset of the population. Certainly that was the merit Marco Polo claimed for paper money when he became the first European to describe it in writing.

It's not a widely accepted theory today, more associated with crackpots actually, but it certainly isn't new.
Apparently you can add "don't make stuff up" to the prompt and it helps. I'm not sure the exact phrasing but probably something like only using what's in the text given.

On the contrary; with AI it scales better than ever before.

Oh yes. When I'm teaching a class of 200 students it's totally plausible that we're going to do 10 15 minute one on one conversations with every student. Because that's only 20 days non stop with no sleep.

We would need to increase the amount of teaching staff by well over 10x to do this. The costs would be astronomical.
Consider Microsoft Clarity—it's free, offers session recordings, heatmaps, and detailed insights. It's easy to integrate with Vercel, and unlike usage-based platforms, has no hidden costs. A good alternative if you want more than basic analytics.
> It is no longer effective to solely use a written essay to measure how deeply a student comprehends a subject.

It never was. It's just even more ineffective now that AI exists, than before.

The central example of this is college admissions statements. Some kids have the advantage both of parents who can afford to give them the experiences that look good on such an essay (educational trips to Africa, lessons in two musical instruments, one-on-one golf coaching, that kind of thing), and who can hire tutors to "support" them in writing the essay. AI just makes the tutor part accessible/affordable for a wider segment of the population.

It would be naive to assume that, pre-AI, there was not a "gray" essay-coaching market as well as the "dark" essay-writing as a service market. That market still works better than AI in many cases.
Lack of interesting content?
We are currently in the middle of an information dark age and not many people have realised this yet.
Simple: you still write an essay and you may use ai to do so. Then you throw the essay out and go and talk with the teacher about it. If you can answer intelligently it’s because you know the stuff and if not then you don’t.
