I heard that their camera does the same.
Thats a bit like calling the code your intern just handed in "legacy". Modifying AI code doesn't have all the same shortcomings as with a legacy codebase, because the AI code was likely not very good in the first place. It feels like doing code review for a newbie. They come up with nice ideas, but if you take a good look at it, you usually find logic errors.
How does this compare to adhole pihole?
I'm not sure why you think this is comparable at all. These aren't Russian immigrants or descendants living in the west, they're Russians living in Russia, and working for Russian companies on the sanctions list. As a result, they've been stripped of their maintainership status, so they can still contribute, but they have to go through the regular send-a-patch process that any other random contributor would have to. It surely doesn't feel good to them after their history of contributions, but international law and politics cause things like this to happen.

>See other developing countries in South/East Asia that pump out lots of low quality engineers.

South Asia sure, large quantity, low (average) quality.

East Asia if you include Japan and Korea has pretty good engineering talent, I'd say, lots of people would run circles there around US graduates, it's more that their economies are hampered in other ways by demographic shifts, bad investing environment (Japan mostly), and monopolies that don't innovate and control the government (mainly Korea).

Chinese engineering is pretty damn good now. But it takes time still to catch up to the highest levels of technology, but they have a government investing in its people, in its infrastructure, in its companies. The only question is whether the government will run out of money before the plan unfolds or the demographic time bomb hits.

I did just that actually to:

* build a codegen for Idris2 and a rust RT (a parallel stack "typed" VM)

* a full application in Elm, while asking it to borrow from DT to have it "correct-by-construction", use zippers for some data structures… etc. And it worked!

* Whilst at it, I built Elm but in Idris2, while improving on the rendering part (this is WIP)

* data collators and iterators to handle some ML trainings with pausing features so that I can just Ctrl-C and continue if needed/possible/makes sense.

* etc.

At the end I had to rewrite completely some parts, but I would say 90% of the boring work was correctly done and I only had to focus on the interesting bits.

However it didn’t deliver the kind of thorough prep work a painter would do before painting a house when asked for. It simply did exactly what I asked, meaning, it did the paint and no more.

I could elaborate, but rather, let me ask you this instead since its more relevant.

What is the point of responding with any legitimate criticism when any potentially negative sentiment however mild, upfront, expressing disagreement, gets downvoted to the point where the mechanics of the website squelches the person and silences them (by purposeful intent).

Can you ever have any legitimate intelligent conversation after a participant has been harmed and effectively silenced in this way?

When you cannot speak freely, there can be no intelligent communications raising the bar objectively. The opposite occurs, and anything provided, even seemingly rational conversation falls after such a threat or action of violence, all conversation then falls into the gutter as a result of the added coercive cost imposed. You may contend that its not violence, but it meets the WHO definition for such which properly accounts for psychological torture and coercion (of which this is a common form).

It should go without saying, but you cannot have any intelligent conversation when those who embrace totalitarian methods prevent you from speaking (and yes these meet the criteria).

At the point this happens, regardless of valid criticism, or pointing out errors in methodology, it all dies on the vine, the communication is clear; you will be punished for disagreeing. That destructive behavior inevitably leads to ruin.

This is fairly basic stuff, in order to think and be intelligent, one must be able to risk being offensive. In order to learn something new, one must risk being offended.

When neither are possible because you or someone else muzzles any conversation expressing disagreement or corrosively add cost, even under such modest terms as here, the fallout is silent, yet devastating.

It might not seem like much, but the light goes out of the world as those with intelligence withdraw their support, and the natural consequences which were held at bay by these people, albeit slow moving, become inevitable.

Best of luck to you. There is only the possibility of harm by continuing any discussion under these circumstances.

I'd suggest remembering this when you start wondering, "where have all the intelligent and competent people gone?".

Silence doesn't indicate agreement. It is indicative of the best and brightest no longer contributing to the same systems that seek to destroy or enslave them.
LineageOS doesn't really cut off the INTERNET access properly. Graphene's approach is more robust. I still wonder why such an important feature is not in the AOSP itself

> The kernel has a gray hair problem.

> No one in the West wants to do volunteer work any more because it pays a lot more to work at Evil Corp and wave some flags around during the appropriate month.

I thought most of the kernel "volunteers" were actually working for some "Evil Corp" or another that was paying them to "volunteer" in some way related to the company's business.
That's interesting, but these seem like they are just a slightly more structured form of the ways in which the CCP has been known to keep track of their own nationals abroad for many years. Not only is there no evidence or reason to expect that they would interact with people who are not PRC nationals, they presumably don't have guns and certainly have no actual policing powers either. If these "Chinese police stations" were to dispatch someone to my door, I could just call the actual police to have them removed. Meanwhile, I doubt I could call the "Chinese police stations" to protect me from the police of the country I live in, if they were to act upon a friendly request from the US like the Swedes and British did with Assange or the New Zealanders did with Kim Dotcom.

> 3 seems irrelevant with regard to China given the difference in population sizes being compensated for

Not what i am implying. It is the differences in modes of thinking coming from different cultures that leads to breakthroughs, sustaining development and more. They play off of each other's strengths leading to something unique which is not possible in a mono-cultural country. It is hard to quantify directly but can be measured via its effects on Science/Technology/Economy etc.

See the psychologist Richard Nisbett's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_E._Nisbett) works; The Geography of Thought: How Asians and Westerners Think Differently...and Why (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Geography_of_Thought) and Intelligence and How to Get It: Why Schools and Cultures Count (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_and_How_to_Get_It) for some insights.
My point is that do not act surprised when you will see a noticeable reduction of contributions from Russian, Chinese, etc. developers. Most of people leaving (or not joining in the first place) will not be as visible as the Sergey's goodbye. By itself it may not be a huge deal, especially in the near term, but it compounds with other factors like dwindling (relative) popularity of C and the recent Rust debacle.

>And where exactly is Linus this evil strawman you created?

"Strawman"? Sure...

https://typeblog.net/55833/getting-called-paid-actor-by-linu...
I don't see "employer" on that list. Apparently, these people are being removed from their maintainership status due to their employer, not their nationality.
I'm confused why you insinuate that "flag waving" in June has anything to do with this topic. You frame it as though that is something developers tolerate because they are paid to, in contrast to how developers behave in volunteer work (demonstrably untrue).
An interesting viewpoint for sure.

I would dissect it though since it’s not pure anger - frustration maybe, a complex one and caused by additional input. E.g. anxiety (you took what could be mine) or internal discord (after observing act of injustice).

I’d argue that it’s an act of random (again, like a cloud) and wouldn’t treat it as art.

But, if you’d park it sideways in front of the mall entrance, blocking it considerably, I’d consider it art (in my imagination I can see the headlines about artist making a statement against the overconsumption).

Yet art is art, so everyone has their own definition. I’d prefer “positive” emotions, so awe, nostalgia, etc., but I don’t see reason why anger should be excluded.

These examples (dogs,cars...) are badly used in most programming books, but they can make sense if you show them in context of a small game or whatever else actually draws you an (inter) active virtual car or animal (which made OOP click for me, using processing). Printing "meow" and "woof" in the terminal, however, only makes sense as a demonstration if you already know what it should demonstrate.
That's likely a mistake in the article. "Small" black holes (i.e. smaller than supermassive) have star/stellar mass, but not size.

Micro black holes are only hypothesized so far, but they could get very small - e.g. a black hole with Earth mass would have less than 1 centimeter in diameter.

The size itself is not that important for spotting black holes, though. Even if it's as large as a star, all you see staring at the black hole "object" is nothing. What's important are the gravitational effects on the environment, and there the differences are stark. At a distance of 1000 light years, it will be difficult to spot a stellar-mass black hole floating through empty space, because its pull is strong enough only at stellar distances and won't produce enough disturbance in interstellar space for us to notice. OTOH supermassive blackholes will deform whole surrounding star systems because of its immense mass and gravitational pull. A micro black hole (e.g. Earth mass) passing through the solar systems would likely go undetected unless it collides with something (which is improbable). There could be a measurable disturbance, but it would be one-off and difficult to attribute to a black hole.
I can respect that it's probably worth trying, or even worth buying if you have a particular case for it and a rather large income, but I guess what is lost on me about the AVP (and by extension iPads, more expensive phones) is that they just seem to be a way to extract multiple thousands of dollars for essentially the same entertainment we've already been doing quite well for a very long time.

Like how much should watching stuff be worth to people!? Am I crazy? I don't even dislike movies, but $3500 usd might be what I already spend on all forms of entertainment + 2 years worth of food, and maybe all of my transportation for half a year or more, combined. I'd just kind of hope for something more substantial y'know?

> This caught my eye and I’m genuinely curious about what you mean by it. Part of our success with Claude is that we don’t do abstractions, “perfect architecture”, DRY, SOLID and other religions

Within my environment, some of those “religions” are more than a requirement; they’re also critical to the long-term maintenance of a large collection of active repositories.

I think one of the problems folks tend to have with following or implementing a “religion” (by which I mean specific structural and/or stylistic patterns within a codebase) comes down to a fear of being stuck forever with a given pattern that may not fit future needs. There’s nothing wrong with iterating on your religion’s patterns as long as you have good documentation with thorough change logs; granted, that can be difficult or even out of reach for smaller shops.

The problem with video games is that publishers want to get on as many platforms as they can, so they have no loyalty to any specific hardware platform, which goes against Apple’s entire modus operandi - Apple wants its 3rd party developers making things only for Apple platforms, so that it’ll be really hard for customers to switch.

The only way to get around that in gaming is to have 1st/2nd party developers (like Nintendo/Sony tend to do), but making games has never been in Apple’s culture. Movies/TV shows are a bit closer to their DNA, and they’ve started producing those with mixed results - games would be a much taller order.

The first code I ever wrote was for my PSP with custom firmware. I used the Lua Player homebrew, setting up a C toolchain was far over my head at the time. I think I spent more time tinkering with that console than I ever did playing games, even though the games were great.

I picked up a PSP Go a couple of years ago and that thing is awesome. It flopped hard at the time due to being digital only before people were more okay with that, and because there was no way to play any UMD games you might have already owned. But with custom firmware it’s terrific; it’s less feasible to use a microSD card (unlike the cheap adapters for the original’s Memory Stick Duo), but it has 16GB onboard flash which is perfectly serviceable given PSP ISOs max out at 1.8GB before compression.
