Looks good.

I am glad that they support container-queries[1].

But all the real goodness is in contain[2] (which sounds the same but is not related).

Tailwind really needs to support contain. I am disappointed by their statement that there will be no major additions, because contain is really that important - both from a dev perspective, and from a performance perspective. It belongs in v4 from the start.

I use bun where I can, and I’ve upgraded old projects to it successfully

the main project I work on uses nx, sst, and pnpm, it’s all tightly coupled. this project is fine for now. just different.
I made a note tool last week that was designed with this problem in mind. Push the polishing step to later.

It's an append only system and the happy path for note taking is a simple keybind pop up that only displays 30 characters of input on screen. I cannot go back and edit the notes later, but I can open a larger app to write new ones that reference(/supercede) the originals, which allow me to refine the note
Looks like the buyer didn't shop around and just went with the first crazy offer.

Why blame Boeing for this? They just made an offer and someone took it.
>The article says they don’t know how the attacker gets access to install this back door in the first place.

It doesn't really matter, because it's orthogonal. Malware like this can be installed on a system through any exploit that provides sufficient access.

So there's two parts to defending against it: 1) finding and fixing any vulnerability that allows the installation of malware like this, and 2) since #1 is a never-ending task, knowing about this malware so you can look specifically for it and delete it when you find it.

If you go spend $5k on a MacBook Pro m4 max with 128 gigs of ram, and toss on Ollama with Qwen2.5-72b, you have your local LLM, free to run as much as you like.

At first glance that might seem expensive, but then consider how insane it is that you can ask your laptop arbitrary questions and have it respond with really cogent answers, on almost any topic you can think of, without relying on a massive rack of gpu machines behind an api. It uses barely more power than an old incandescent bulb while doing it!
AWS ranks features based on potential income from customers. Normally there’s a fairly big customer PFR needed to get a service team to implement a new feature.
It's not about Apple.
It's Apple, Google and Amazon, PayPal, Block, Venmo and Zelle.[1] Everybody with over 50,000,000 transactions annually gets CFPB oversight. Actual rule: [2]

This doesn't really do much. It creates no consumer rights. It does give CFPB examiners the power to examine records and interview people. It means that numbers such as how many PayPal customers have complaints will be looked at. Bank examiners look at error rates, fraud losses, unresolved complaints, and such. The effect will probably be that some of the big players with weak customer service will have to get their act together.

IME, one of the places hyrums law shows up the most is in tests.

I've seen tests of various types (unit, integration end-to-end) break because they made assumptions about behaviors that weren't garanteed, and supposedly backwards compatible updates broke them. Here are some examples of things that have broken tests:

- an update resulted in a change in the order of elements in a Hashmap or set.

- a change in an error message (or other user-facing message), changed

- a change in how leap days are handled for datetime arithmetic

- change in the format of locale-specific datetimes

- the timezone offset for a given area

- removal of internal-only APIs that were accessed using reflection

- something performed faster, which revealed race conditions in the testing code

- changing the precise representation of some data format. To give a specific example, changing a single byte when gzip compressing a file, that has no impact on the compressed content.
And what are the environmental costs of this trend?
Well, it’s going to be hard to talk their way out of that one.
There have even been times where an LLM will spit out _the exact same code_ and you have to give it the answer or a hint how to do it better
Also, Northvolt had leadership with hubris. All talk and no batteries.

If you want to rush building a 'giga factory' you need to pay up for skilled people.

Which they didn't.

You don't get relevant engineers and workers to move to the middle of snow-where for the same wage as they have now.

And they tried to scale up production even before they were able to make proper batteries...

Good question. Probably not, especially after this. If you handle other peoples' money, you have legal responsibilities. Facebook hates that.

I think this is a good observation of the past, but applying these patterns to AI is like when people applied them liberally to cryptocurrency and claimed it would replace the internet protocol, which was a certain kind of exuberance of the ill informed.
> If there is actual slack in the schedule, they will tend to increase scope (i.e. address tech debt, quality of life improvements, plan better).

If all your engineers will make use of most of the slack for such purposes, rather than unproductive activities, you've either been very skillful or very lucky in hiring them (or at least their team leads, etc).

A lot of engineers (myself included) will produce more if there is at least a moderate amount of pressure applied towards delivering something useful relatively soon.

Too much pressure can definitely have the reverse effect, as it introduces more long term technical debt than what is saved in the short term. Also, intermittent period of low pressure can lead to innovation that wouldn't happen if the pressure is always constant.

Still, most tech teams I've worked with will tend to become a bit too relaxed (leading to shorter days, longer breaks, more chatter/social media, etc) if they are presented with delivery dates 1 year in the future for tasks that "feel" like it's only going to take 3-6 months.

Which may very well lead to the task taking 15-18 months instead of the 10-12 months it really takes due to those unexpected complications nobody explicitly thought about.

This also transfers to "agile" development, and in many cases "agile" can make these issues even worse, especially for deliverables that require months to years of effort before anything economically self-sustained can be released. (For instance, if you need to replace a legacy system, the new system isn't delivering net benefit until the legacy system can be shut down.)
is this good news?
Ampere is a bright spot in all of this, indeed. Just considerably late. I remember being bombarded by "ARM servers are going to eat the world" in 2013, but ARM couldn't deliver SBSA in shape that would make it possible and to this day I am left with serious doubts if any ARM board will work out right (there are bright spots though).

As for Apple "uniqueness", I met a lot of people who think that Apple "just" has so much better design team, when it's similar to what you say and the unique part is them being able to properly narrow their design space instead of chasing cost-conscious manufacturers.
> nobody relies on function runtime

Maybe not intentionally.

But there have been several times where I've seen bugs where two tasks are done concurrently, but task A always takes longer than task B, then someone makes A faster, and that exposes some race condition or deadlock that only occurs if A completes before B.
In the meantime, you can try Beeper which does that through Matrix. It connects all the apps you mentioned in a single app.
I always found it strange that AWS seems to have 2-3x as many products or services as Azure, but it has these bizarre feature gaps where as an Azure user I think: "Really? Now? In this year you're finally getting this?"

(Conversely, Azure's low-level performance is woeful in comparison to AWS and they're still slow-walking the rollout of their vaguely equivalent networking and storage called Azure Boost.)
This. Some of the biggest arguments against AI/LLMs being ready for prime time are a result of ignorance around the current SoTA.
This is interesting. Most Linux malware is targeting servers which usually don't have Gnome or KDE installed.
okay, but they are victims to it either way and its disingenuous to aim to invalidate and discredit that

Hamas won an election by mere plurality in 2006, against an incompetent Fatah

Which means not even a majority of the voting population voted for them

Over 50% of Gaza is children

The last vote was 18 years ago

so over 50% of Gaza has never seen an election and had no say in Hamas rule

of the remaining 50%, even if 100% of that population voted, less than 50% of them voted for Hamas

so in the best case scenario, 20% of Gaza voted for Hamas. but of course its way less than that because not 100% of adults voted

they are all victims of an autocratic regime where going against Hamas is death

going too close to the walls during even peacetime is death by the Israelis

and we’re supposed to smugly justify collective punishment on the idea that the current population has a real choice in the matter?

that lacks emotional intelligence

Am I taking crazy pills or are you making no sense?

Shooting a gun is, in most places, super illegal. Even if you don't hit anyone, firing your pistol anywhere where there's people is sure to attract attention from law enforcement, unless at a specially designated area like a gun range.

And what the hell are guns made for if not to shoot?? That's literally the only thing they do!
Securing Linux should probably not be approached the exact same way as securing Windows. Case in point, it is true that I can't find all of the .so files that have been modified since my package manager installed them: this is because it didn't install them, because I am using NixOS. They just exist in the Nix store, which is mounted read-only, and almost all modules are loaded from an absolute runpath.

NixOS with impermanence isn't exactly a security solution, but it does have some nice properties as a base for a secure system. It's also far from the only or even most notable of the immutable Linux systems, with abroot and RPM-ostree seeing more usage. It's probable there will still be some use in endpoint security but I suspect it will be greatly diminished if immutable image-based deployments with a secure boot chain is perfected on the Linux desktop system, for similar reasons to why it isn't really as important on ChromeOS either.

I also understand that this is not a silver bullet, as it's still possible on desktop Linux to persist malware through the bashrc/etc. like this does. Personally I blank out my home directory shell profile files and keep them root-owned to try to prevent them from being used for anything. It seems like more work is needed in the Linux ecosystem to figure out what to do about attack vectors like these, though I think a proactive approach would be preferred. (Scanning for infected files is always going to be useful, but obviously it's better if you stop it from happening in the first place.) In some ways the Linux desktop has gotten a bit more secure but many things are still not sandboxed sufficiently, which is a shame considering all of the great sandboxing technology available on Linux.
Bing having AI chat is the one thing that means I occasionally use it.

What they said is that it wouldn't have the same appeal, which is true. Someone shooting themselves by looking into the barrel of a gun as a joke is funny because it's a really obviously stupid thing to do. Luke lightsabering himself in the eye is funny first due to shock value, and second as a form of observational humor by pointing out how even though lightsabers are so obviously dangerous, there's not a single mishap where someone maims themselves with their own weapon in the movies.

Someone playing with a screwdriver and a few pieces of various metals is funny because its danger is unintuitive. It's so strange that someone can mishandle such seemingly innocuous objects and then die a few days later because of it, that it's comical. It's a non sequitur.
The difference, as always, is that AI is useful - in many different ways.

Crypto was useful for speculative investment and occasionally for working around money transfer restrictions.

Heh, if PayPal ever gets rid of its reputation for dodgyness, and it also provides reasonable customer service, then it might because a decent option.

So when they make takeout containers out of this it's going to be coated with... something. I am suspicious of all these coatings they're slapping on compostable food containers these days.
Ah. I thought (perhaps hoped) you were referring to something more. I think decentralization of the actual data and infrastructure is the key. OSS is necessary but not sufficient. If Twitter were open sourced and widely forked tomorrow, not much would change, since Twitter still holds all the tweets and hundreds of millions of users.
That's not true. The Internet was inherently unreliable for a long time—connection drops, packet losses, hardware failures—but that didn't stop it from being a platform for incredible value.

You can build valuable, reliable systems on top of unreliable foundations. That's how humanity has progressed over the centuries.
At some level, you have to choose something. You can't know every level in your hierarchy.
That came to mind for me too, but it's the sort of thing that always could be just a coincidence. Touching on nuclear fears is hardly unknown in Japanese media after all.
How does it prevent squatting in any way?

There are relatively few people living south enough to have "cold and dark winters," anyway. The northern hemisphere is much more concentrated towards the north.

Most people live above 35°S where, at the most extreme, winter days are about 10 hours and a half long (plus about an hour of decent twilight). Temperatures obviously vary depending on region but they don't really get much below 10°C as far as I know.

So really, it's more like mostly bright and somewhat chilly.
I work at a bank (not US one though). Good luck with little everchanging regulation hell all banks are continuously exposed to, it keeps hefty dedicated departments alive and well across whole industry.
Many years ago there used to be a Firefox extension (..or might have even been a Mozilla one..) that would store all the pages I visit. I recall its name was Breadcrumbs but I could be misremembering. Space is cheap, or at least affordable if one would exclude videos, which are probably technically more difficult to archive anyway, but sometimes one remembers having seen content that is never to be found again.

I think it would be useful to have just a personal basic search engine on that kind of contents, but possibly a RAG or even a fine tuned LLM would be even cooler.

Actually, e.g. Firefox could do that at least for its bookmarks and tabs, though it already does provide the function for tagging bookmarks. And I think there's probably an extension for searching tabs' contents..
Pretty much, yes. Broadly speaking, the US federal government's financial controls are good and prevent a ton of corruption and waste. At this scale no system can be perfect though, and there will always be some.

However, there are diminishing returns at some point. If you want to go after, let's say, the 99th percentile within which things like soap dispensers might fall, you may have to spend more in admin costs than you get back in savings.

This applies to both needing more staff and needing to add more paperwork, which also in turn can slow down projects.

This DoD IG report, for instance, faults the US Air Force for not having built a database that tracked historical prices and tracked equivalent COTS part prices on various commercial marketplaces. That means either having staff or (more usually) paying some third party contractor to maintain a database and constantly update it to track all of these commercially available products. At some level you can end up spending more than you save.

That's why in corporate audits there's always a threshold floor below which external auditors don't bother to check further. It's considered an acceptable risk.
To expand on the "not as secure" comment: local storage is accessible to every JS that runs in the context of the page. This includes anything loaded into the page via <script src=""/> like tracking or cookie consent services.

> Everybody with over 50,000,000 transactions annually gets CFPB oversight.

This is such a simple, straightforward rule. No weird gotchas, exceptions, or whatever. Just the most basic test you can think of for "are you acting as a financial institution in the most obvious day-to-day sense of the term?" and a reasonably sane (I think?) threshold.

It's also so bloody easy to prepare for. Are you handling 1M transactions anually? No worries, keep doing your thing. Are you handling 20M transactions annually? You probably want to start planning. 40M p.a.? You want to be preempt the moment when you get regulated.
See, the basic presumption needs to be that random statements are false, otherwise you would have to disprove an infinite amount of random statements t arrive at the truth. Hence the asymetric requirements, and why David simply concedes the argument by not sourcing his statements, and why his opponent can simply (until some form of supporting evidence is provided) can reply with a simple 'no'.
100% correct, but there are ways to push Bayesian inference back a step to justify this sort of thing.

It of course makes the problem even more complex and likely requires further approximations to computing the posterior (or even the MAP solution).

This stretches the notion that you are still doing Bayesian reasoning but can still lead to useful insights.
Amazing. Will try it tomorrow

This is a completely different topic though, and I think there's interest in shipping something like that.

That's the main problem with “just add namespace FFS” discussions that come every other week: everyone has its own vision of what namespace should look like and what they are meant for, but nobody has ever taken the time to write an RFC with supporting arguments. In fact, people bring this mostly in ways that are related to name squatting (like right here) even though that's not a problem namespace can solve in the first place. It's magical thinking at its finest.

To me this is very intuitively true.

I can't explain why.I always had the intuition that fine-tuning was overrated.

One reason perhaps is that examples are "right there" and thus implicitly weighted much more in relation to the fine-tuned neurons.
Thanks, I checked the WGPU project's roots and you're right - it's not Mozilla's project, per-se.
> Working with the stack can be more difficult than with registers, although the latter can be easily simulated with variables, which is often frowned upon

Yet every time I hear experienced Forth developers recommending to use more variables, and that newbies tend to eschew them, making the code much harder to read and understand than it is necessary.

You become a true Forth programmer once you go past the code golf and stack juggle phase.

It actually learned and that's what makes cargo as good as it is (arguably the best of all that came before, and a source of inspiration for the ones that came after).

But its authors rightly concluded that it's useless to expect to prevent name squatting by any technical mean!
That's really nice. This is what I would call a great value-add through goodwill directed at the community. I hope to do something similar if I ever get to run an enterprise.
