I've started to get spam via iMessage lately which I assume avoids most automated scrutiny that may apply to bulk SMS. Usually in the form of "your UPS/USPS package address needs to be verified" or something.

My iMessage is configured to send read receipts, so I quickly bounce the setting before opening the message to click the "Report Junk" link (maybe it's pointless). It would be nice to mark things as spam/junk without having to open them, perhaps I will just delete them since iMessage has been a malware vector in the past.

Ok, what configuration are these drones? Quadcopters?

Why are they only flying at night? To evade detection? Then why do they have lights?
There has to be a 'reasonable person' factor here - otherwise if I'm watching Henry V I can sue everyone and his mother because the actor 'directed me to take up arms'! I never wanted to go into the breach, damn you Henry.
it seems the videos posted with blinking red and green navigation lights are actually not representative of the drone sightings authorities are investigating but instead represent a side effect of the mania with people posting videos of private aircrafts as everyone is looking up and trying to record the “drones” but doesn’t realize the aircraft have been there all along and first they are paying attention.

The real drones go dark and evade helicopters.

> they and TSMC don't compete with ASML

Competing with TSMC using ASML’s kit means beating them on input costs, operations and/or distribution. That’s doable but tougher and more ephemeral than having a technological moat. (It’s Herculean given TSMC’s scale.)

If someone wants to take on TSMC, they should be looking at leapfrogging or sidestepping ASML in a differentiating way. Not out of the gate. But in a PA Semi sort of way.

It is not.

I'm French and I have known about the different FramaSoft software for years now. They are all terrible alternatives.

Their approach is completely wrong, they think that being "libre" (free) is enough to acquire market share, and they completely ignore the user experience, feature parity, and innovation. All of their tools are therefore terrible, to the point of being unusable.

They are a paragon of oblivious French mediocrity.

PeerTube specifically has existed for almost a decade and has never been used by anybody. It is an empty shell of a website kept alive just to burn public money.

Well stop telling people about them!!!
This articulates something I couldn't put my finger on. I think it comes from the internet becoming the main propaganda tool of -- well could be any government -- but for the audience here nation states or actors hostile to the English speaking "west".

The well-spoken troll gets people that are not caught by the meme gifs/jpgs. It requires more work on the propaganda side, but persistence pays off it seems.

Memes alone are not enough to turn most people here, but an account spewing hard-to-disprove nonsense on social media, or someone willing to shill on podcasts tickles the "DYOR" itch.

This feeds back into the comments here and "talking points" are spread.

>You need to understand that not everyone shares your addiction to YT's dopamine-jerking content feeds. In any case, no one has time to dig through that video to find whatever "evidence" you think is buried there.

I can't help it if you can't watch a video without feeling as if it's meant to be some "dopamine rush" for you, that's a you problem.

It does not in any way shape or form discard it from being evidence.

Especially when I specifically pointed out 2 issues with the boyboy video, which I assume you also haven't watched (or does boyboy somehow get a pass?) which then begs the question of why you're even replying.
My memory of listening to a real attorney discuss this [1]

WP Engine showed they will be irreparably harmed, which in this case, means harmed in a way that cash can't fix. Thus the judge is preserving the status quo ante while the suit is worked out. (see 31:52 [1]).

edit: requires

1. likelihood (not more likely than not to win, but must show a decent chance);

2. w/o relief, will suffer irreparable harm (as discussed above: can't fix w/ money)

3. balance of equities favors you (more fair to freeze);

4. public interest supports injunction

3 - 4 are, per Mike, fuzzy and "result driven". The most critical factors are success and harm.

Separately, there is a thing called "Promissory estoppel" where, even though you don't have a contract, you make a promise (Matt: wp.org is free forever to anyone), someone (WP Engine) relies on that promise to their detriment, and the plaintiff's reliance on that promise was reasonable. Discussion of promissory estoppel at 44:17 in [1]

Ok I understand that, but why wasm size? Local-first works pretty well for a shared library, and it can already be compiled to wasm. But you're predicting based on the _size_ of the wasm bundle being the determining factor which is a really interesting opinion so are you able to explain that?

I could understand if you said 'the fastest' or 'the safest' but 'the smallest' is what I'm hung up on
I'm sure that's true, as that's how the company operates, but it's always a bit difficult to interpret. Meta has kind of been king of "this feature shows an amazing number of interactions", and large numbers of people seemingly genuinely hating it.

Your statement further highlights the issues actually. Matt owns, outright, wordpress.org and uses resources from Automattic to manage wordpress.org. One avenue this slap fight has taken is via Matt blocking WPEngine from wordpress.org. Matt, not Automattic. The WP Foundation is a thin veneer around Matt as well. There are a bunch more oddities in this whole thing if you care to look into it.

IMHO, Matt needs to step back from this whole thing and let the lawyers work out the dispute without his emotions clouding things. He also needs to clear up ownership of wordpress.org, ideally by transferring it to the WPF. And finally, he should step down from his role at the WPF to help it become a foundation independent of control from Automattic. He's proven to be an unstable steward of the WP ecosystem at this point and lost trust is hard to regain.

I make all of these statement as someone not connected to the WP ecosystem beyond sometimes helping a friend who leverages WP for his clients.

I read parent comment "grew 35% last quarter" as (income on 2024-09-30) is 1.35 * (income on 2024-07-01)

The balance sheet shows (income on days from 2024-07-01 through 09-30) is 1.35 * (income on days from 2023-07-01 through 09-30)

These are different because with heavily handwavey math the first is growing 35% in a single quarter and the second is growing 35% annually (by comparing like-for-like quarters)

> If no joy on ECW, disassemble them in the sky.

I disagree, for the same reason the US doesn't send an SM-6 up to greet every plane without an IFF turned on. It's an expensive exercise in endangering human lives, not a valiant defense of homeland security. Understanding the battlespace is a crucial part of modern warfare and soldiers aren't going to blind-fire on a weird drone unless it presents an immediate, credible threat.

Take the AIM-120s off your F-16 and put a FLIR pod on it, track the drones to wherever they land. Record the platform, dazzle it if it's got cameras or EO sensors, and send a few decoys out if you want to bait it into revealing last-resort defenses against a JDAM-like weapon. Then, you destroy it. Hell, if it's an unmanned naval platform you could also just send a couple Marines out in a Chinook to lift it to the Pentagon. America's weapons are nice, but we can do a lot more than just blow stuff up.

It does exist but you have to take the 5 minutes to fill out a form. You can find it at https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov and click “Phone issues”. I also suggest simultaneously reporting to the FTC via https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/ and click “Report now”.

You can also forward spam text messages to 7726 in the US (goes to your cell phone carrier), which is very effective because the carriers have low tolerance for these issues and also train their own anti spam off this data.
One of the biggest things I dislike about Django is its lack of a standard project structure. I haven't used it in years, so things may be different now, but back in the day, even the core team recommended against using the default project layout, which always made me wonder why they generated new apps that way.

Switching between Django projects while doing contract work was always a "what the hell?" experience. Rails' opinionated nature makes it easy to dive into new projects you know virtually nothing about.

Nowadays, I focus exclusively on Elixir/Phoenix apps. Elixir eliminates the OOP requirement (I've never liked OOP because I don't feel it remotely lives up to the hype) while maintaining all the other great things I love about Rails, like consistent project layouts. It also makes writing multi-threaded, distributed apps easy.
Not exactly, although CUDA is a huge topic. See https://gist.github.com/shawwn/0e524d4a7a5d8fb152a86616559cc... for some description of the process. Basically, jax or other program is converted to XLA, https://opensource.googleblog.com/2023/05/pjrt-simplifying-m... then lowered to the specific architecture (which coudl be CPU, GPU, or TPU). Last time I looked, it was a horribly complicated stack with many parts changing rapidly, although with the switch to jax, things got cleaned up a bit. My personal favorite bits are the lower levels of jax, xla, and pjrt.

This is actualy quite common with judges. Or so i heard from Popehat who is a practicing lawyer. What is going on is that the judge is feeling that one side is making a stronger argument, in their opinion, and they then tend to give more procedural leeway to the other side. In order to be, or appear to be unbiased. Then commentators or sometimes even the plantifs interpret it as the judge signaling that the judge is agreeing with them.

Supposedly this is common enough that lawyers get worried if the judge is too “nice” with their side.
It has reasonable margins. $5 is quite a lot of money to just route traffic.
You are rebuilding Alpine packages on top of LFS while using glibc. So I guess you want a minimal system with OpenRC.

Gentoo will give you that with proper package management including on the system part without having to do the weird dance you are making with abuild with a nicer experience if you want to patch and update your packages later and significantly better tracking on what you have done.

I have a hard time seeing anything starting from LFS which wouldn’t be better actually starting from Gentoo.

Why would they have nav lights on?! Any lights...
Scale and cost are defining considerations of LLMs. By saying they're rolling out to billions of users, they're pointing out they're doing something pretty unique and have confidence in a major competitive advantage. Point billions of devices at other high-performing competitors' offerings, and all of them would fall over.
For reasons I don’t entirely understand, it would cost me quite a lot of money to view my local free-to-air TV stations over either cable or the Internet, so antenna it is (for the very few times I need it).
what/who ever that something is that is telling you that, i'd suggest a better source. it is part of the "game" that militaries the world over try to do things without their opponents knowing they were ever there. international boundaries are 12 miles of water, yet navy submarines get much much closer than that as a matter of course.

do you think the military or any 3 letter agency knows 100% where all foreign spies are within their borders?

It's obviously a function of product design. If they made a celebrity fake nudes generator they might get more users. But within the confines of the product they're actually making, I doubt they could budge the userbase by more than a couple percent by risking more lawsuits.

>No one designed it SPECIFICALLY to do that,

It's true that there's emergent behavior on YT that nobody accounted for, but there's one big qualitative difference, you can at least specifically shut it down and hold the creator accountable. And at least in principle, if we lived in a culture where we'd hold businesses accountable for what they unleash on the world, if YT wanted to they could create some rather harsh and effective punishments to get that stuff off the site in the first place. Just imagine if a real person had messaged a minor and told them to kill their parents. That's a crime.

With chatbots like this not only do they do unpredictable things, you can't even predictably remove those parts. Like the sorcerer's apprentice you basically have to perform some incantations and hope it works, which is just an absurd way to interact with a tool that has the potential to tell a kid to kill his parents. Would we sell a saw that has a chance to saw your finger off if you argue with it the wrong way?

The Elm architecture is amazing!

Gleam looks great. Reading the FAQ, especially why the don't implement type classes, I am a bit worried though that it leans to much into trying to be simple.

Minimalism can work in dynamic languages because they impose basically no restrictions on your types and you can have crazy complex ones for free but in a purely static languages a lack of more advanced type system features can make writing library code very annoying and make the language feel very boilerplaty. The advanced type system features that languages like Haskell or OCaml provide are not purely for academic wankery, some of them are extremely useful. Even Golang had to add generics.

I hope they don't fall in the same trap as Elm did where it got so obsessed with simplicity that super knee-caped the language. I mean the Gleam devs seem already be way more pragmatic. At least it seems to have a decent FFI which provides an important escape hatch.

Sharing the source code (under an OSS license) with its users is one's only obligation from an ethical standpoint.

If its only user is the developer themselves, then they're already doing more than they're ethically required to by sharing the code.

People must come around to this view and the 'volunteer open-source maintainer/developer' role must be left only to people who enjoy doing it. Require payment for your services otherwise.
I think the defense would be something along the lines of "AI responses aren't representative or official statements".
