> I don't see any problem. Why should a party of a contract be free to breach it at will while the other remains constrained?

Companies are run to make money, while people usually enter employment contracts in order to have money to feed their families and survive. Humans usually come to the consensus that people are more important than profits.

A company doesn't need to be doing anything illegal for the working conditions to be unsafe. I am still boycotting Paris Baguette and their sister companies because of their stubbornness and refusal to go beyond the legal minimums in safety equipment.

2 years ago a 23-year old employee got pulled into a sauce making machine and was crushed to death, with nobody finding her body until the next day. Let's say you are a bright 22-year old from the Philippines who got offered 3x your peers salary for working at an industrial bakery. It doesn't sound so bad right? Now let's say your friend got killed by machinery, and the company refuses to take responsibility because the safety equipment that could have prevented their death was optional and not legally required. You're 4 months into your 12-month contract. Do you have enough money to even get a flight back home? Do you have enough money to break your contract and pay the company for your flight from your home country, pay the company for breaking your subsidized lease in the dorms, etc? No you don't. That is a bad situation to be in. If it were me I would break the contract and just never come back to Korea. They're not going to extradite you for this debt, but does everyone know that? Especially migrant workers?

Now I know this is about Japan and not Korea. Look into how many Vietnamese go work in the textile industry in Japan and get injured. Should there really be more barriers and intimidation when it comes to forcing the workers to stay for the duration of their contract when their roommate was crippled by the machinery? Or should it be easier for people to leave potentially dangerous situations?

---

This also applies to white collar workers. Do you know how many Indian college students are lured to go work at a Japanese company with the promise of a high salary, only to then move to Tokyo and realize they're spending way more money than they expected due to the higher COL? Companies absolutely take advantage of this system. In the US companies usually only offer contracts to highly skilled workers, while in other countries companies offer contracts in order to trap individuals into poor working conditions and being underpaid when they're naive to the job market.
I think so. If your core saturates, you add more capacity to your core switch.
In HOMA, you need to add more receivers, but if you can't add them because the core can't handle more ports?

Ehrm. Looks like core saturation all over again.

Edit: Just popped to my mind. What prevents maliciously reducing "receive quotas" on compromised receivers to saturate an otherwise capable core? Looks like it's a very low bar for a very high impact DOS attack. Ouch.
I think the main sentiment was more about FreeCAD being extremely bad to use, and not against Ondsel's efforts to make it better.

I just tried installing the new RC of FreeCAD, and it's still a horrible horrible unusable mess (despite all the improvements of Ondsel).

Anyone trying is probably better off starting from scratch on the GUI, and only extracting the algorithmic bits from FreeCad.
The aim is absolutely to implement the entire ECMAScript specification. Progress has slowed down recently, as I've been both busy with other things and tied up in making the engine work with interleaved GC.

A secondary aim is to have a bunch of feature flags that allows the engine to drop out support for specification parts that a particular embedder doesn't care about. That obviously fights with the "implement the entire ECMAScript specification" goal, but I just hate indexed property getters and setters with a passion and want to see them gone wherever I go.

Boa is a great project and I believe it is being used in some production systems. I've met and exchanged some ideas with the main developer, Jason Williams, and even received the greatest praise that I could imagine: Boa will (or did?) take some inspiration from Nova on its GC refactoring. Nova has also copied (with proper attribution of course) a few minor parts from Boa, like whitespace skipping code for some spec abstract operations.

I highly recommend keeping an eye out and using Boa if you have the chance.
But you might not need TCP. For example, using file-sockets between an app, db, and http server (rails+pgsql+nginx for example) has many benefits. The beauty of OSI layers.
I'm looking at the data and there is zero relationship between inflation, interest rates and personal savings in the USA. People save in time of crisis (2008, covid, etc.), and don't when the economy is good (1990 -> 2007)
With respect, OLED wearout from 16x365 use is a 'you problem'. The manufacturers will be delighted to sell you a new €1200 monitor every 4-5 years, and I'm sure their shareholders would support the improved revenue stream. Masses of consumers with their wallets is the only opposing force, and that assumes they will have an alternative available to choose (one day).

I'm not saying this is a good thing, mind, I'm just saying that this is just the sort of rent-seeking we should increasingly expect from the industry. Apple has no significant incentive to make a laptop screen last longer than the warranty period, and all manufacturers will happily pass on substandard performance to consumers as 'normal' and spin it as providing an Insanely Great user experience on new devices. Remember back when you couldn't get an expensive LCD monitor RMA'd even if it had 4-5 dead pixels, because that was 'normal'?
So BeOS has a place in this universe
I would close the comments section after this. Perfect summary.
Clickbait title. That phrase never appears in the web page or report linked

Please rename to "The future of European competitiveness: A competitiveness strategy for Europe" which is the name of the report. @dang
TLDR: No, not its not.

HOMA is great, but not good enough to justify a wholesale ripout of TCP in the "datacentre"

Sure a lot of traffic is message oriented, but TCP is just a medium to transport those messages. Moreover its trivial to do external requests with TCP because its supported. There is not a need to have HOMA terminators at the edge of each datacentre to make sure that external RPC can be done.

The author assumes that the main bottleneck to performance is TCP in a datacentre. Thats just not the case, in my datacentre, the main bottleneck is that 100gigs point to point isnt enough.
>filesystem is a lot better

In my tests it was 6-7x slower than on Linux (in VirtualBox on Windows). I assume by better you mean more features?

On a related note I used one of those system event monitor programs (I forget the name) and ran a 1 line Hello World C program, the result was windows doing hundreds of registry reads and writes before and after running my one line of code.

Granted it doesn't take much time but there's this recurring thing of "my computer being forced to do things I do not want it to do."

I also — and this is my favorite, or perhaps least favorite one — ran Windows XP inside VirtualBox (on Windows 10). When you press Win+E in XP, an Explorer window is shown to you. It is shown instantly, fully rendered, in the next video frame. There is no delay. Meanwhile on the host OS (10), there is about half a second of delay, at which point a window is drawn, but then you can enjoy a little old school powerpoint animation as you watch each UI control being painted one by one.

(Don't get me started on the start menu!)

Twenty years of progress!
Just some feedback on your landing page.

I have no idea what problem you're targeting, what your product is, or how I would use it.

Hit those three targets without someone scrolling below the fold.
I hope so too :) I've contributed some minor bits of code to V8 and then worked on Nova for a year or two, but I'm still wet behind the ears compared to those folks. Any and all comments I can get from them is a blessing.
> But I'd probably also be really angry at V8 just taking all of Nova's good ideas and peddling them off as their own without crediting Nova.

Who knows, maybe they'd even give you credit (while still taking the idea)?
LLM based automated verification surely isn't something that easily works out of the box, but that doesn't mean ventures shouldn't try to work on it.

The purpose of capital is to make progress from where we are now.
The Jallianwala Bagh massacre was perpetrated as a preemptive action against civil unrest. It would not have happened if the British did not dehumanise Indians and had more consideration towards the lives of Indians.

The Bengal famine primarily happened because the British directed food stocks to be held back for their war efforts. The actions of local businesses were ultimately directed by the British government preferences. If the British wanted they could have had the food distributed to relieve the population. Once again this happened because they held racist views about Indians.

Nearly every tragedy that took place in the Raj was ultimately caused by the British. Because they were the sovereign. And they looked at the governed population like we were subhuman.

I understand the Brits of today want nothing to do with the decisions their ancestors took in India. And this is right. You weren’t around back then. But because you want to look back at the imperial project with pride, you want to engage in victim blaming when it comes to the atrocities that happened in the Raj.

This might pass in the UK, but as Indians we can’t indulge you in your delusions. The British were to blame. They were in control of the state. They had a responsibility to the governed. And in many cases they neglected or actively worked against their duty.
There has never been a "true" text mode in any Mac hardware (except for situations where there is vestigial support in the hardware from the days of Intel on Mac, and I doubt that support was ever available for application use). Even Macsbug was ultimately drawing pixels to a framebuffer.
There's few new 5K monitors: ASUS ProArt Display 5K PA27JCV (already sold for $799) and Benq DesignVue PD2730S.
As bad as it sounds, this is definitely the best advice unless you actually have the funds and determination to bring legal action against the licensing breach I assume ?
Just to clarify:
I don’t consider myself a Democrat (in the context of US elections). In fact, if I were American, I definitely wouldn’t have voted for Harris.

I referenced Trump and Meloni as case studies simply because they’re among the most recent examples. That said, I firmly believe two things:

1) The masses have an incredibly short memory.
2) It’s not just the right that engages in this kind of manipulation.
I think some stuff will be happier in the "director" process and some happier in its own "worker" process - and fd passing is the magic trick that lets you accept() in the former and still do the bulk of the work in an appropriate instance of the latter.

I 100% get the 'overhead' part - but at some point hopefully you'll have enough other stuff already running that the 'fun' factor of enabling that will win out :D
If machine learning is found to be fair use, the license you choose does not matter - in the same way Google Books can scan books and make them searchable without a specific license to do so.

If machine learning is not found to be fair use, and your concern is the removal of attribution, then MIT license should be fine.

> So far what we have learned is that robots.txt doesn't work;

The companies training models I'm aware of[0][1][2] all respect robots.txt for their crawling. Can't necessarily guarantee that all of them do - but the fact that smaller players are likely to use CommonCrawl (which also follows robots.txt[3]) means it should catch the vast majority of cases and I'd recommend it if you don't want your work trained on.

> major sites are using login-only access with 2FA to have any hope to keep their content away from LLMs

I suspect it's more that users with accounts are more valuable than lurkers, and framing forced sign-up as protecting user data from LLMs is a convenient excuse.

Nah, not of liberalism. If anything it is a rejection of idpol, which leans authoritarian. There were bad ideas that weren't allowed to be criticized. I still remember the audience of the Daily Show getting signaled to be "outraged" at ideas like "I don't see color" several years ago around Trumps first term.

You might find that naïve or not constructive in certain situations, but their strategy about it was just moronic.

And for some it was enough to say, that these bad ideas need to die first before they can vote for liberals again.

They had similar bad ideas around the topic of free speech as well. Their loudest voices were unpopular sound bites around how we need more social media authorities and surveillance.

All in all their ideas were just bad but reflected the party line. And their popular base was convinced by them.

These are just small puzzles that were so pronounced, that they made Trump almost a reasonable choice.
Fair points, and I appreciate the depth of your critique. You’re right—broad appeals to "moral evolution" can feel hollow without actionable solutions or a deeper analysis of the mechanics involved. My intention wasn’t to provide an exhaustive exploration but to spark a discussion, which your comment does beautifully.
They are being addressed. By the headline something like >90% of the US isn't affected.

If it was a more centralised system, there'd be a 90% chance it was all working and a 10% chance that the incompetent local officials were incompetent EPA officials instead, standardising everyone on insecure systems with nobody able to overrule them. It'd make a bad situation into an all-or-nothing gamble with substantially worse worst-case performance.

> You're proposing local and state governments spend orders of magnitude more taxpayer money on duplication of effort.

Doubt it. The expenses are going to be mostly capital and operating ones that can't be avoided.

I learned freecad some years but never really liked it. Fast forward to version 1.0, it feels like a huge improvement and I think k I will try to use it again for smaller projects.

The biggest improvement IMO was the partial sketch thing, which I can't even find among the release notes...

I was sceptic first, but 1.0 turned out had some major improveme
If you take off your bias googles you might see that "right to continue existing" typically actually means "right to hove everyone else forced to support them".

You can exist without

- others being forbiden from expressing opinions that you find distateful

- your personal wishes being financially supported by everyone else

- being given a platform to target children with your views

- whatever facet you define yourself with being represented in every media ever made

Framing it as the "right to continue existing" in order to make "the other side" seem more extremist is exactly the kind of thing an extremist does.
"Hard" is subjective, and part of good UI design is reusing visual cues and affordances that the user has already learned elsewhere. A good UI should be discoverable. Emacs is not that. Nor, for that matter, is FreeCAD.
The LLMs' training data is already mostly All Rights Reserved content which is more restrictive than whatever license you could come up with, and if that doesn't stop anyone then sure as hell you won't stand a chance either.

You best bet to fight back is to either try to poison your data, or to train your own models on their data.
I don't think the "genocide" story is very convincing. On the contrary, it would have signaled that the Democrats lost further ground to rather extremist elements. Also, the conflict came later and the polarization was already present.

I think the problem is that this "base" is really seen as the base for Democrats and why quite a few people would never vote for what they stand for.
Thanks so much ! Appreciate the kind words about Islet. It still has a long way to go !
A friend of mine who works in the gaming industry told me about the Entity Component System architecture and I thought: Hey, wouldn't that work for a JavaScript engine?

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw your description. But the reason ECS works well is cache coherence. (Why) would a general-purpose runtime environment like a JS engine benefit from ECS? Or alternatively, have you seen performance improvements as a result?
Not OP, but I suppose there might be a difference between blindly trying to pass a test by tweaking numbers, or a more principled approach to figuring out how to introduce better randomness.

OTOH, I would expect that tests for hashing and random number generation in particular would be naturally resistant to overfitting, due to the nature of the problem. But I'm not an expert at this topic, so I'd love to hear someone else's take on that
amazing!

How do you gauge "GPT-4o-level assistance"? Have you tried side-by-side comparisons?

Every time I have a personal project and want to make a simple CAD drawing of a building or a simple model, as I would using AutoCAD at work, I go through the same song and dance. I look around at the options online, my jaw hangs open at the cost of any commercial CAD subscription/licence, then I get frustrated by a glaring lack of functionality or useability while trying some free/open source solution, and resort to a 30 day trial or MSPaint/paper.

Some of the comments already mention how blender's existence is predicated upon it filling a niche in certain senses, instead of trying to achieve feature parity with an entrenched giant. That makes sense, and it's unfortunate, as this space could use an open source option with Blender's polish. In my own industry, mining, I am certain some commercial interests would happily make their product an extension/plugin for a polished FreeCAD (or other), were it at that point.
There are many like that. Every practice is a trade off.

However, there are many where the cost/benefit ratio is so large that you can default to "you should just do this".

I dont think Id ever look at a company that e.g. had no CI or versioning for a large project for instance and think "they might have had a good reason for this". They didnt.
Yeah, know your data and how it is used. I assume that data access is mostly linear because of a few reasons:

1. All performance issues arise in loops: I at least have never seen a performance problem that could be explained by a single thing happening once. It is always a particular thing happening over and over again.

2. All loops deal with collections of data, and the collections are usually created either created manually by a human being, or are created through parsing or looping many at a time.

3. A human being can manually create a collection of maybe a hundred items manually before they get bored and stop. A collection created this way may contain data from all over the place, with data access over it being nonlinear.

4. A collection created through parsing or looping will create its data in a mostly linear fashion. Accessing the data will then also be linear.

There are definitely cases where nonlinear collections exist, but these are usually either small or are created from smaller sets of linear data. eg. Think of dragging 10 lists of 1000 items to form a list of 10000 items. The entire 10000 items aren't going to be located linearly, but every 1000 items will be.

So in effect, I'm betting that most hot loops do deal with linear access over objects and that loops that work over nonlinear access are not particularly hot.
Unsolvable would mean that no proof exists, and no disproof exists, in whatever axiom system (eg ZF). While in some cases you can hack around this by proving eg "no proof and no disproof exist in ZF, if ZF is consistent", IIUC that's not always possible. It's like asking "when will AI be strong enough that it can always decide correctly whether a given computer program halts?"

Then again, it's fairly likely that P=?NP is decidable but we just don't have any idea how to prove it. In that case the question is more or less "what's the time horizon until AI is vastly better than humans at formal math?", to which the answer is certainly "we don't know, there may be obstacles, just wait and see".
To add, nothing is wrong with servile mentality! Not everyone wants to be the big-time leader.

> Great that you admit to having zero economic knowledge. That is the exact reverse of how it works.

Not when we're talking about infrastructure at the state level. Project costs of big infrastructure projects, as well as inflation, mean that getting stuff done now is better and cheaper, usually, than waiting to do it in a few decades, or redoing it every few decades. State-level infrastructure investment doesn't have the same earnings potential as regular investment. It's practically all very long term, kind of by definition (if it were short term profitable, private investors would be all over it).
If Putin wants peace, he can simply, well, leave. Unless that happens, it is reasonable for Ukraine to defend itself.
