"I think you'll find it's a little bit more complicated than that."

Windows 3 could run Win32 code:

It's still out there:

It's a good way to get the old tiny fast Freecell on Windows 11. The FREECELL.EXE binary in Win32s runs fine on Windows 11 x86-64. (And on Arm64 come to that.)

And OS/2 could run Win32s:

... At least until the final version, 1.30c (IIRC) when MS found a way to nobble it so OS/2 couldn't run it any more.
I think this is a quick start with multiple templates to get back up and running after being booted.

How Does Art Reflect Political Ideologies?
That's close but a little diffferent. D-K is about assuming your own competence at something you're ignorant in. I think it's caused by the effect I'm talking about, but the root effect is a little broader in that it applies also to how much you assume there is to be known at all by anyone for some field that you're ignorant in.
I think you aren't thinking about the cascade. So for one, losing the job, that depends on the job but let's say that it's a crappy low paid job where corporate has figured out how to make everyone replaceable. You're out, say your like many and you've spent most of your money on rent and have maybe like a grand in the bank, you go out looking for a job and can't get another one (any reason let's just assume it's not a "moral failing problem" which gives people peace of mind because "they're homeless because they're an addict and therefore they only have themselves to blame"). So now you can't pay rent (it's month to month because it's all you could get in El cerrito), you eventually get kicked out, the cascade starts, no money = no cell phone or email to apply to jobs, no place to live means no showering = hard to interview, spin up some trauma from seeing shit happen on the street that freaks you out, boom it just snowballs. (In this scenario I'm assuming that they don't just have a family to fall back on who can support their needs while they try and get another job)
The formula seems to be “businesses led by people with long term goals + filled with employees capable of executing + luck”.

I don’t think “US” is a useful qualifier, publicly listed businesses all over the world have the same short-termism without the right ingredients.
The candidate seems to be more of a communist than anything[1], he wants 51% state control of all large corporations operating in Romania. Labelling him as right-wing is asinine. Actual communist parties are supporting him.

Perhaps if people wouldn't demonise any anti-globalist public figure as "far right" we wouldn't have ended with this clown of a candidate. People haven't voted for him as a person, he was totally unknown as of a couple of weeks ago, they've voted against the status quo, and more importantly they voted against the establishment that regulates what constitutes acceptable opinion.

I mean, we're a remote company. I work in software, not IT. YMMV I guess. I don't think demonizing an entire department on the basis of a job title is a very intelligent or humane thing to do, and it doesn't resonate with my lived experience.
It is something impossible to prove that people are paid to post anything so what's the point on arguing about that?

I agree with him, there is enough proof already of non-western countries spreading misinformation and propaganda online. And if you want to find about it there's Google and many other search engines.

We already know foreign countries attempt to influence American elections using American-owned social media. So why would it be a "conspiracy theory" for them to use foreign-owned social media for similar purposes? I would think it's probably even easier.
Microsoft Excel World Championship 2024 – Finals
> quick call

They sat on this info for almost three weeks. Doing it now discards so much money and effort invested by people working the election stations, the people in other countries that already voted, etc. Not to mention that it communicates to the everyone that their vote doesn't count if it's not for the right candidate. A vote made under wrong assumptions is still a vote cast democratically. In my opinion this late decision makes a mocking of a real democratic process.

It's also very likely to have the side-effect of destroying Mrs. Lasconi's chances at the presidency. Who do you think that the Georgescu voters will vote for now? Not her for sure. I bet there will be a Simion vs. Ciolacu battle next time, and there we'll go again with choosing the "lesser of the two evils".
You should definitely add a /s lest anybody take this seriously. It's quite funny though. Especially recommended if you're hoping to burn your house down.

It's possible but spending has to be reported to the electoral authority, which it wasn't.
The facts were emerging faster than people could follow. Now at least people have a few weeks to cool down and think about it.

This will probably get buried, but I'm wondering: Has any scripting language attempted to use SQLite as its memory model? You get GC, memory safety, atomicity guarantees, core dump functionality, and rich data structures for free. If configured to run in-memory, I reckon it wouldn't impose enough overhead to be problematic.

It sounds crazy, but most scripting languages add this stuff anyway.

With rqlite this can be extended to distributed systems programming as well.
Because the alternatives are American in this case. Also "whataboutism" is a bizarre expression and a bizarre argument.
I’ve made the argument before wrt other media (music, static visual media, and literature) that all art is dying due to the inundation

We were raised to rail against the gatekeepers and tastemakers of art for perpetuating voices of oppressive homogeneity, but we didn’t realize the importance of filtration. What we actually needed was a rotation of the guard, not an abolition of such authority

A very easy anonymous way is to simply use a self custody wallet like Exodus.

You can buy ETH, then you can use a TOR crypto exchange to swap it from ETH -> BTC into your wallet.

Just an idea though
Technology has changed the landscape of possibility very quickly, and our institutions are not keeping up.

The world will need to figure out ways to deal with the new reality. Social media have made it far more lucrative to make up whatever than to report on facts. Meanwhile it's harder than ever to run a sustainable business in journalism.

Meanwhile autocrats have noticed that it's cheaper than ever to run massive campaigns of propaganda and misinformation abroad, because they don't have to involve anywhere near the number of local accomplices.

LLMs are accelerating the trend.

You're right that the US democracy is in crisis as well.

This is weak stuff - the allegation here seems to be that Georgescu bought fake followers on tiktok.
Legally it turns out it is perfectly fine if propaganda and disinformation machines are run by domestic billionaires.
While I'm sure this is cool, I had to read a few typo filled paragraphs in to even start to get an idea of what the heck Box64 and Box86 are (some kind of emulator it seems from the comparison to Rosetta?)
An alerting dashboard for monitoring metered usage
We often get asked by our users if we can provide notifications for the customers that are approaching a limit in their products. Visibility into that type of information is incredibly useful, particularly for startups trying to identify their most active users or those ready for an upsell conversation.

However, it’s often challenging data both to get and to visualize in a user-friendly way that folks can act on. That’s because this type of data is often locked in application databases.
Have you seen the proof, or are you repeating what was written by someone else? There is a big difference. I bet this is the usual "credible information from anonymous government sources".
Probably there will never be, that's like saying "Still no good component or UI libraries for HTML".

Which doesn't add up either. It's Ukraine's largest children hospital.

Meanwhile there is a sprawling military plant Artem nearby, which has been a target of multiple Russian missile strikes.

The Russian MoD said the hospital was hit by a malfunctioning Ukrainian anti-missile, but if you don't believe that, what do you think is more likely: that the military plant was the target and a Russian missile missed it, hitting a corner of the hospital building instead, or that the hospital was the target, but the missile failed in its attempt to kill scores of children being treated for cancer, which would be one of the most heinous war crimes imaginable?
That sounds....huge. I know many working couples where one would probably take that in a heartbeat. You lose some money, but gain more family time and sanity. Having Friday to finish chores and being able to enjoy the weekend unstressed is huge, not to mention clocking out early each day to be able to pick up your kid and not have to get back to work or whatever.

You are right, this is an open-core model. The PRO features are proprietary and, to be precise, they are actually modules that integrate into the core of the solution. In addition to these features, the PRO version gives you access to technical support.

So, they can't even get the Romanian Intelligence Service to make a specific claim that some aspect of voting was affected, instead that they were "targeted by" cyberattacks? And this is enough to cancel already-held elections?

I wish these stories would say if the hours are changing or not.

32 hours, 4 days a week seems better to me. But if all you do is take 40 hours and make it 10 hour days I’m not that much happier.
The documents explain clearly that thousands of sleeper accounts were activated days before the election and shared and promoted campaign material that was not marked as such in a highly coordinated way that suggests a state actor.

I love this blog in general for the picking apart of modern movie tropes and the writing is surprisingly engaging for discussing logistics etc. The "Game of Thrones" collection is probably my favourite for absolutely ripping apart the poorly thought out battles.

The Celebrity Machine Never Dies
As the politicians of the US have shown time and time again /s
Let's not underestimate the complexity of the problem Gelsinger took on. I base that on the experience of selling them a company, and then having a little bit of a view from inside (under Bob Swan). It's clear to me that Gelsinger was trying to keep a lot of plates spinning while returning to former glory in an organization with a lot of cultural baggage doing work that is not amenable to clean sheet attempts. Messy. Post author is probably correct that PE-style chop & shop is the short-term most profitable approach, but it's also the worst outcome for almost everyone besides the largest shareholders.

What I'm looking for in the next set of leadership is a clear, positive vision for the future + an acknowledgement of the systemic changes to the industry they're in (e.g. no longer have the dominant volume to give them a process leadership advantage). There's a lot they can do with tight integration, security, software platform, and product lifecycle that the smaller fabless players aren't able to (yet).

It looks like you can embed dependency data in an egg but it is also true that (1) a lot of eggs have an internal setup.py that does things like compile C code, and (2) it's a hassle for developers on some platforms who might not have the right C installed, and (3) eggs reserve the right to decide what dependencies they include when they are installed based on the environment and such.
True for almost any average-to-well paid white collar work, but it's surprisingly easy to end up homeless for anyone already below the poverty level, or even just not making 6+ figures in a high cost of living area.

I've known several folks - generally minimum wage adjacent jobs, retail, food service, etc. Landlord decides not to renew their lease, rental housing availability is next to none in a lot of my locality, and family lives out of state. Never made enough money to even have a savings.

Suddenly they are without housing. Maybe they can crash at a friend's house, maybe not. If they can't, they're going to be spending time and effort trying to get assistance, maybe have to take a few days off work, because of the nature of those jobs, maybe they get fired. Now they are both homeless and unemployed.

I've also know people in similar situations that ended up on a downward drug spiral as well, but only after the fact. I think it's a chicken or the egg problem for some homeless folks. Were they addicts first, leading to a downward spiral that lead to chronic homelessness, or were they just someone living in poverty, trying to scrape by, screwed by the system and turned to drugs later on?

Add to it that public transportation sucks in most of the USA outside of urban areas (and even in some urban areas as well), so anyone already without a car has limited job prospects in the event of layoffs or an economic downturn in their local area.

So yeah, I don't necessarily abide by the "it can happen to anyone" but there is absolutely a significant subset of the USA's population that is essentially one unfortunate event away from homelessness.
This is my biggest gripe with these LLMs. I primarily use Claude, and it exhibits the same described behavior. I'll find myself in a flow state and then somewhere around hour 3 it starts to pretend like it isn't capable of completing specific tasks that it had been performing for hours, days, weeks. For instance, I'm working on creating a few LLCs with their requisite social media handles and domain registrations. I _used_ to be able to ask Claude to check all US State LLC registrations, all major TLD domain registrations, and USPTO against particular terms and similar derivations. Then one day it just decided to stop doing this. And it tells me it can't search the web or whatever. Which is bullshit because I was verifying all of this data and ensuring it wasn't hallucinating - which it never was.

Potentially, perhaps. But it's certainly not for the cases where I use it: a pure python package, whose dependencies are already installed and are not changing (only the package itself is). Under those conditions, the command line I gave takes a couple of seconds to run.
I think this comment obscures the nature of how user hostile printer companies are. Razor and Blades strategy was meant to be user-friendly: you cannot afford to pay the full cost upfront for a fancy razor, so you will pay it on time.

What printer companies are doing is user hostile, not user friendly.

A glass of lemonade is not inferior. It's a different thing entirely. You can compare good lemonade to bad lemonade, or good wine to bad wine, but asking a group of people who prefer lemonade to compare a glass of lemonade with a glass of wine tells you nothing about the quality of the lemonade or wine in question.

The human poets in the test wrote high-brow poetry, the AI generated low-brow poetry, and the audience of laypeople who were surveyed preferred the low-brow poetry. There's nothing wrong with a straightforward rhyme scheme or anything—it's not bad to be low-brow—but it's not a useful comparison.
Charging via application brings unnecessary friction and severely degrades UX.

Another UX offenders are QR codes on charging stalls and locking charging cables unless you will find that correct QR code so you can unlock your charging cable. Not that one, that will unlock charging cable in the stall next to you. For FFS why do I need to search for QR codes at a first place...

I can imagine a simple solution - take a cable, connect it to the car and start changing by tapping a contactless credit card reader next to your cable. But I never saw simple solutions, seems like every provider wants to torture its customers with half assed applications.
On the second point I completely agree with you. She appears to be collateral damage at this point. Perhaps that will raise sympathy and she can get into the second round again.
You know, my biggest problem is not the price per se. I have an inkjet, and use it maybe twice a year. But every time when I use it successfully, it is extremely convenient to be able to print at home. So convenient, that I wouldn't even mind the price.

What I mind is, that because I use it so rarely, that damn expensive cartridge dries up every 2 or so years, after printing maybe like 30 pages. That's what kills me. That's one thing that it's more expensive than gold, but it has awful quality.

"Funny" thing is, I used to have a Xerox laser printer years ago. The toner dried stopped working in it also if it wasn't used for months. The main difference was that the toner cost 3 or 4 times the price of an inkjet cartridge.

Fuck printers.
To be fair if they released detailed instructions and datasets on how to rebuild llama (considering that there's some randomness in the process) you still probably wouldn't be able to build it, like who has the resources? And if you had the resources you probably _still_ probably wouldn't _want_ to rebuild it yourself, it seems awfully expensive when you could instead spend those resources elsewhere.

Fair point about the license, people have different definitions for what "open source" means.
I wish there was a branch of SQLite that cleaned up everything, set new sane behavior (and broke backward compatibility since it’s needed to achieve that).

Eg strict mode by default, WAL2, BEGIN CONCURRENT, etc.

Maybe HC-Tree will become that?

>due to the disinformation risk.
>Just look at the Romanian election: A couple of hours ago they annulled the first election round, after a coordinated Russian campaign managed to propel a rather unknown pro-Russian candidate to the top, where they used platforms like TikTok to influence voters.

What you've described so far isn't disinformation but something more like illegal campaigning. This and disinformation both happen on platforms owned by the countries they're effecting (Facebook in 2016 with Trump). US shareholders benefiting doesn't really stop it.
