So nice to see this!

I was one of the original developers of the "visual" side of Visual Basic.

It was called Ruby at the time (no relation to the programming language) and was going to be a customizable shell for Windows 3.0. The idea was that individual Windows users would create their own personal desktop using our visual editor and "gizmos" (later called by the much more boring name "controls") to make their own personal environment.

Microsoft, probably wisely, realized that this was more suited as a developer tool rather than an end user tool. They combined Ruby with Basic to create Visual Basic.

If anyone here ever created VBX custom controls, you can blame me for that terrible API!

And if anyone wonders where the phrase "fire an event" came from, you can find the answer in Retool's article about VB:

As they say, "AMA".

If I may indulge in a bit of shameless self-promotion, I am looking for work. My team at IBM was hit pretty hard in their recent round of layoffs, as we lost our one exclusive customer, McDonald's.

I know a lot about a lot of languages and frameworks, but I don't know everything. Does anyone?

I love working with customers to understand their needs. Like every programmer, I enjoy coding, but it is just a way to make my customers happy.

If anyone is curious, you can find me here:

I'd say that the protocol itself is what's doing Matrix in.
After reading the underlying report (https://jfrog.com/blog/leaked-pypi-secret-token-revealed-in-...), I can't help but think: "where is the defense in depth?" Since `.pyc` files are just a cache of compilation that's already generally pretty quick, this could have been prevented by systems that simply didn't allow for pushing them into the Docker image in the first place. Or by having `PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1` set on the developer's machine.

(Also, now I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that there's such a thing as "Docker Hub" in the first place, and that people feel comfortable using it.)
Cool project, looks neat!

I'm curious how the adaptive memory decay is implemented and how is it different from mem0?
There was an emergency hearing to challenge the sale to the onion.

Sure, but so does the number of paragraphs in the english language, and yet LLMs seem to do pretty well at that. I don't think the number of configurations is particularly relevant.

(And it's honestly quite impressive that LLMs can play it at all, but not at all surprising that it loses pretty handily to something which is explicitly designed to search, as opposed to simply feed-forward a decision)
even if you supplement with GPS?
I remember the first time I ever saw the camera flash used as a flashlight was a feature in Cyanogenmod 7. Wifi hotspot from your phone started as a Cydia app, when legitimate apps weren't particularly useful yet.

Hacks have always brought the coolest features to phones, but OEMs have made them less accessible than ever :(
It annoys me to no end to listen to the Android/Google apologists claim that Apple does not care about security and privacy.
How is Graphene working for you?
Odd but not surprising. There are political implications so any press is good press.
I think what one person calls "lies and slander", another person can genuinely, reasonably, and justifiably call "exposing bad acts that need to be exposed".

The fact that reasonable people often disagree about what's true and what's not is exactly why we must have Free Speech codified in law. The opposite of Free Speech is when one group of people get to lay down the law and assert that their biased point of view is the one true correct world view, and forcibly shutdown the speech of those who disagree.
You clearly don’t know what a Maine Coon is…
Mine was "How to Create Adventure Games" by Christopher Lampton (1986) at my municipal library. BASIC code that I entered into my dad's computer, which had QBASIC pre-installed.
Not OP, but very well!! The only things that don't work for me are Google Pay and Android Auto, which is a shame but I can live without both of those.
That manual is a great find! Dr. Kurtz was surely way ahead of his time in aiming to bring computing to the masses, well before the microcomputer revolution. BASIC was an easy onramp to programming that hooked a ton of people on computing, especially kids of the 70s/80s like me. He shaped the future as much as anyone.
That works if you're building a cruise missile, but not so much if you need millimeter accuracy indoors.
Sounds like PyPI have been corrupted? Hopefully The Foundation can remind them of their mission.
>In a way, this feature is what you're describing but is easier to automate (therefore: good for you as a user) and is more likely to be correct because every attestation is verified by PyPI before it's made available to others (which is also good for users).

How long should I expect it to take until I can automatically generate an attestation from `twine`? Or does someone else have to sign off on it through some OpenID mumbo-jumbo before I can qualify as "trusted"?

Automating the creation of SBOMs sounds even further out, since we're still struggling with actually just building sdists in the first place.
It's probably more of a tradeoff.

This longer delay won't prompt hectic headlines about users angry about random reboot, it is long enought so federal agencies won't publicly react and plea Trump for their backdoor again, and it is a low profile update that won't necessarily be noticed beside tech circles thus "small fry" bad actors won't know how to correctly cover their back.

A user hostile design would have been to never implement it in the first place. It's basically Apple's signature to choose generic default value and don't bother the user (for the better and sometimes the worse).
Cookies necessary to function properly don't require consent. It's only optional ones (ones that benefit the site, not the user).
That is emphatically not true - animals and small children that can't speak yet know about object persistence. If something has come from over there and is now here then it's no longer there.

LLM's do not have that concept, and you'll notice very quickly if you ask chemistry questions. Atoms appear twice, and the LLM just won't notice. The approach has to be changed for AI to be useful in the physical sciences.
Eat less chocolate, lose some weight around the waist! Seems like synergy to me :)

That is a long way of saying "Working for exposure"
Castling requires no prior moves by either piece (King or Rook). Move the King once and back early on, and later, although the board looks set for castling, the King may not.
> it's played as a series of moves connected to a player's strategy.

That state belongs to the player, not to the game. You can carry your own state in any game you want - for example remember who starts with what move in rock paper scissors, but that doesn't make that game stateful. It's the player's decision (or bot's implementation) to use any extra state or not.

I wrote "previous moves" specifically (and the extra bits already addressed elsewhere), but the LLM can carry/rebuild its internal state between the steps.
It still doesn’t protect against rogue commits to packages by bad actors. Which, IMO, is the larger threat (and one that’s been actively exploited).
So while a step in the right direction, it certainly doesn’t completely solve the supply chain risk.
I think you may be able to do something like this with a shortcut.
> These markets are no more "gambling" than other markets are.

Whoever said other markets aren't gambling?

> Polymarket's sports markets, in contrast, have comparable bid/ask spreads to financial markets (maybe slightly wider), and the market is liquid such that you can sell your contract to someone else whenever you want.

'Financial markets' is a slippery term - you could be using it to refer to traditional investing (holding a diversified share portfolio for years because you believe in the fundamentals of the companies in question), or you could be using it to refer to things like frenetic speculating in short-dated out-of-the-money 'binary option' contracts.

The former is not gambling (no 'rush', not generally addictive, very hard to go broke, mathematically sound), and the latter is absolutely 100% gambling (all rush, totally addictive, incredibly easy to lose your shirt, mathematically stupid). There have been many attempts at 'finance-washing' straight up gambling schemes in recent years, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see more crackdowns soon.

Pretending that betting on election results is some complex financial derivative that is totally magically immune to laws about gambling isn't going to fool any judge.
That’s inspiring.

Let’s team up the pissed off individuals and raid-sue one of the obviously abusing. One is nothing, but that could at least make more visibility of the borderline legality. And at best we win and go to the next one.

Any law-worker?
I assume that's a Security Research Device. https://security.apple.com/research-device/
I struggle to get github copilot to create any unit tests that provide any value. How to you get it to create really useful tests?
Periodic reboots are actually a PCI requirement for payment terminals heh, basically every point of sale on the market reboots every 24h.
Yes, which means you carry one bit of extra information - "is castling still allowed". The specific moves that resulted in this bit being unset don't matter.
I guess not in final release, but security researchers used the developer beta, probably with some verbose mode enabled.
“Last Christmas” is definitely the worst. By far.

Depends on the illness and recovery needed, I would think.
OJ Simpson payed 33.5M to the family of the woman he murdered.

It's insanity that you can flat-out kill someone and get paid less in civil court than denying a murder ever happened.
You can still configure it to be key only, you just need to put your own override as a file in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/ rather than /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

The files are read in order, so your filename needs to sort after the 50-cloud-init.conf file.
This would work: echo "PasswordAuthentication no" > /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/60-password-auth.conf
There is the usual caveat that government debt does not work like personal debt, having a central bank and all. But then on top of that, I would add that even government debt does not work like government debt when the government is the United States government. Having the world reserve currency means they own the world, and devaluation means they siphon resources away globally.

This is bad if you are not American or it hurts some sense of fairness you might have, but objectively it's probably good for the US.
Are we humans so different? Why do you wear what you wear? People emulate their older siblings, and so learn behavior.
LLMs can create new programs, after having initially learned similar examples from others. Likewise for AI media.
I wouldn't assume this is explicitely to help LEO, but more because this is (AFAIK) the first time this is being trialed by Apple. 72 hours is a touch long, IMO (and based on some comments, it's not just me), but when your update touches millions of devices, it's also best to test thoroughly and have the first iteration be too long rather than too short.

It's easy to drop the 72 hours in a future update, or tie a shorter delay to (as I believe Apple calls it) Lockdown Mode - the more important thing might be to keep the "It just works" assumption most people (myself not included) seem to have vis-a-vis Apple products.

Notably, I assume it will never be user-configurable directly. Possibly through Lockdown Mode ("If enabled then shorter delay"), but I wouldn't count on Apple adding an explicit setting.

Clicking through the parts list, somewhat wildly <10cm inch 2k displays appear to be available for <$50 now. After a quick look I can't find much north of that in terms of resolution, but surely there has to be _something_ between this and the SOTA 4k+ displays going in high end headsets. If those exist then the last major barrier I can think of to DIY is the magic lenses required to make those screens viable when <50mm from an eyeball.
I'm arguing IN FAVOR OF people's freedom to say mean things, so you're just "projecting". Definitely CNN's rights to lie must be protected.

For a website or processing, sure. They're not a very discerning brand though - their customers like to launch port scans, try to send spam, URL scan (WP, Admin, portal, crypto tests). Mail delivery must be atrocious at this point.

Not that stretchoid & binaryEdge operating on Microsoft, Digital Ocean, Linode aren't doing the same.

Why America's Groundwater Is Disappearing [video]
I just tend to use am extension such as https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Huuums.v... for my boilerplate, as I can customize along the way for the project and not think hard. I have seen a lot of younger devs not using such a thing or already existing CLI and instead copy paste then rename, or try writing from scratch every time but slight differences... It is weird to me how many don't look for ways to automate boilerplate, as it has always been my default.

I think you should also checkout TRMNL. Being engineers ourself security/privacy is of atmost concern, and we follow a similar architecture mentioned above.

In order to support bridges to so many different proprietary platforms Matrix needs to have a superset of their features, so the feature creep is probably intentional. It does make it harder for clients to keep up though.
Using wrappers doesn't really help that much because the difficulties are in the things that aren't covered anyway. Proot doesn't help for these issues, there's a long-standing open issue for that one.

Using docker would make the mixing and nesting of native and foreign architecture chroots only more difficult
Same. The ghost kitchens and also exorbitant costs (particularly due to city imposed costs here) made me abandon all delivery services. I now prefer picking things up and enjoy the time driving to the restaurant with music or a podcast. It’s also nice to interact with other humans. I save lots of money and get something out of it.
Those are all valid disadvantages of community notes, and free speech in general.

How do you explain that there are smart people who have known about these very disadvantages for many years, and still respond positively to "the solution to misinformation is more/better information"?

I don't suppose you know of a solution (to a problem that I admit I haven't fully specified) that has no disadvantages. The proposed solutions I've seen appearing on the left are frightening.

Ok, then for this you need minimum of two bits - one for kingside Rook and one for the queenside Rook, both would be set if you move the King. You also need to count moves since the last exchange or pawn move for the 50 move rule.

One description of the class of problems LLM's are a good fit for is anything at which you could throw an army of interns. And this seems consistent with that.
> Having no way to look away is visual prison to me.

This makes the advertisers happy.
I agree with the first part totally, and you're probably right I invented something there. I only meant that free speech / "more information helps" seems to resonate with the right, and censorship seems to resonate with the left. Not so?
They still would because the holes typically are very shallow, and half filled with toilet paper. The next significant rainfall that comes around, there's soiled paper all strewn about the mud.
>real value is only confirmed when a transaction occurs

Market cap is based on the last transaction that occurred. Are you saying it's speculative until the entire company is purchased?
> It's supposed to sound phony as hell.

It makes sense in hindsight, but I'm pretty sure it was not intentional :)
Done the right way, they are deep enough. A stick or stone lying around is usually enough to do that much digging.
Seems like a good defence in depth strategy. These days most systems have a pretty good boot chain security, so after a reboot you know the system is in a valid state and any potential malicious changes have been flushed out.
That company name is not easy to remember how to spell.

This will be nice for Maker projects, but I don't see it getting traction without 6DOF
Nice mate
If this were configurable, I would make it 30 minutes and increase it if I noticed any inconvenience. But I doubt that I would. I already have my phone in permanent do-not-disturb (so a reboot causing delayed notifications wouldn't be an issue), and it's not like I mind entering my passcode instead of FaceID every 30 minutes.
> combining a human-moderated knowledge graph with an LLM with RAG allows you to build "expert bots" that understand your business context / your codebase / your specific processes and act almost human-like similar to a coworker in your team

It's been a while though, we've had great models now for a 18 months plus. Why are we still yet to see these type of applications rolling out on a wide scale?

My anecdotal experience is that almost universally, 90-95% type accuracy you get from them is just not good enough. Which is to say, having something be wrong 10% or even 5% of the time is worse than not having at all. At best, you need to implement applications like that in an entirely new paradigm that is designed to extract value without bearing the costs of the risks.

It doesn't mean LLMs can't be useful, but they are kind of stuck with applications that inherently mesh with human oversight (like programming etc). And the thing about those is that they don't really scale, because the human oversight has to scale up with whatever the LLM is doing.

96! Lived a full life. RIP.

I wrote a lot of QBASIC. 1986-90ish, old Bangalore. I was 12. There was no Mac or Unix or Windows in India those days. Only MSDOS. I had a 386 box. I would insert a 5.25" floppy, boot into command.com, then CD to GWBASIC.EXE and enter GWBASIC. Wrote a lot of GWBASIC to annoy friends and family by emitting high pitched sounds. You could do SOUND 2000+i, j, where i is the frequency & j was duration. You could even control volume from BASIC. I would put that in a WHILE WEND loop and make it go crazy. People didn't know how to turn it off once it got going. Then suddenly one day DOS went away and we had something called MS WINDOWS 3.1 and you had to insert a white round ball into a mouse and click on icons, no more command line, and even GWBASIC was gone, they put QBASIC and it came with snake program. Then I got into the graphics craze. We had a CGA & so I did SCREEN 2, then used LINE and CIRCLE to my heart's content. Few colors only. Then we upgraded to VGA monitor then SCREEN 12 was a full 640x480, I wrote QBASIC to make annoying sounds while drawing. It was an amazing childhood, thanks to this miracle language. BASIC led to something called CLIPPER, then I did some FOXPRO, got paid actual rupees to write an inventory control system in FOXPRO, then MFC, Borland C++...all the way upto today.

But it all started with BASIC. Amazing language. Thank you, Dr. Kurtz.

So the misinformation didn't affect your decision making. Instead, the misinformation you were exposed to was corrected by your exposure to more, better information.
Presumably because they disagree about what should be kept private from whom, and whether the user should be allowed to be in control of the security of the hardware.

Apple will vouch for applications running on, for example, MacOS. They'll check the developer's account is still in good standing, and will prevent apps from launching without this check. Sometimes this (arguably) helps. Other times it hurts [0]. And while I disagree with the choices made, these are valid trade-offs.

Apple will tie things like the hardware for FaceID, to a specific phone, and require it be re-paired by an Apple authorized technician. Sometimes this is bad - just look at any Right to Repair thread. Sometimes this is good - Evil Maid attacks don't occur often, but it's easy enough (from Apple's POV) to block them that it would almost be irresponsible not to.

There is room for these discussions, but it's geared more towards how one views general-purpose computing devices, IMO, and can't really be answered in a flamewar-style "Apple is evil" type of environment.

In the high use areas camp toilets are found, this won't work. Rain will expose poop and TP, animals will be attracted and dig it up, and soon you'll try to dig in a "secluded" spot and stick your shovel into someone else's cat hole.

If camp toilets aren't an option the only real alternative in those areas will be to bring a wag bag or poop tube and pack it out.
