This feels a little like being sad that it rains sometimes, or that Santa Claus doesnt exist. I just can't even connect with the mindset that would mourn such a thing.

What even is the theory behind such an idea? Like how can one, even in theory, make more and more money every year and remain positive for society? What even could assure such a relation? Is everyone just doing something "wrong" here?

And also at this point a lot of people are just sick and tired of fighting autocorrect when they type a word right but the autocorrect deems that word not the correct one and swaps it with another (for example typing "fuck" and autocorrect swaps with "duck" and have just begun "eh, anyone with an ounce of IQ will read that how its intended" and move on with their time.
I know the make of TV I'm not buying when I buy my new TV at the start of next year.

TVs are becoming a cancer of the electronics market. You can't find a decent normal TV anywhere just "smart" TVs where "smart" actually means: shit, slow and antiuser.

I am not sure this is true. European countries are smaller but they are not that small. The number of people sending SMS to a foreign number regularly is I guess not significant. Potentially it was easier for people working abroad to stay in touch with people back home. If anything like that, it would be more true that it's the cost of SMS within the country - it was always increasingly unlimited but not 10+ years ago, mine was I think 9 cents. If you had like a 1GB of data, then it was a no brainer to save the 9 cents.

The night sky obviously rotates, but that the earth translates relative to the stars is not so obvious. This was especially a problem because it was generally thought the stars were much closer than they actually are, because stars do have an apparent diameter to the naked eye (and through a telescope) which we now know to be an optical illusion (Airy Disk), and if you extrapolate this like with the planets they are either not that much further away or ludicrously big, like many solar systems, and parallax measurements were precise enough to at least put a high bound on their distance if the earth moved with respect to the stars, and gigantic stars wasn't a popular option.
Sure. I'm also a big fan of what Microsoft has done with SAL. And of course you have formally proven C, as used in seL4. I'd say that the contortions you have to go through to write code with these systems takes you out of the domain of "C" and into a domain of a different, safer language merely resembling C. Such a language might be a fine tool! But it's not arbitrary C.

It's more complex, but usually it better matches user intent. If I say the conference starts on 2027-04-05 13:09 in Berlin, and Germany decides to change their time zones or daylight saving time rules sometime in 2025, your stored offset or stored UTC time is now wrong. The conference will start whenever local clocks show 13:09, and you have no reliable way of knowing which time zone local clocks will be in in two years time.

Of course if we go down that path we should also add a format to indicate offsets. If I say I'll be back in 10 minutes, that interval shouldn't change no matter what happens to the time zone. To perfectly disambiguate it you would need to store it as current time (with timezone or UTC) plus the intended offset. This would also "solve" a lot of issues around leap seconds and the inability to predict them more than six months into the future.
That only gets you as far as the frontier of knowledge. To go beyond you need intelligence.

It’s essentially a null hypothesis. There doesn’t seem to be any actual evidence of anything. It’s all based on social media posts. It shows all the signs of being a mass panic.

The OP article put it like this:

I have often wondered how much of someone's actual voice leaks through into their impersonations in a way that can be detected.

I just saw an incredible Facebook reel of a voice actor, Shelby Young, saying the same thing in a striking range of theatrical voices, and I still wonder. How much of her true vocal fingerprint is unavoidably there?

AGPL's tying that to users remotely interacting with the software over a computer network still leaves a lot of uncertainty about when it applies.

Consider this case. Suppose there is a chess server that users can interact with remotely over a computer network to play chess against other users or against a chess engine.

On the same host that is running the chess server there is a database server, which is only accessible via a Unix domain socket on that host. The chess server uses that database to store game scores, an opening database, and some endgame databases.

The database server is AGPL. Are users of the chess server entitled to the source to any local modifications that have been make to the database server?

Does it depend on whether it was the people running the chess server who modified the AGPL code or of the modified AGPL database was provided by the hosting company?

Most of the incidents I remember where a software developed was unhappy with someone offering a hosted version of their software were cases where the hosted version was mostly being used by clients of the hosting service and being accessed over the hosting services internal network rather than cases were someone was hosting a version of the software to provide that software's services to end users.
This is something that was brought up in the hearings.

For starters, one issue here is the Judge is just, frankly, bad at giving instructions. He left how the auction should be ran up to the Trustee who ultimately used an auction company which handles these sorts of liquation auctions. He didn't give clear instructions on what he wanted.

FAUC (alex jones's new company) did not raise any issues with the auction until after they found out that they lost. They had multiple communications with the auction house and the trustee right up until the winners were announced. It was only after they lost that they started throwing a stink about how the auction was ran.

Frankly, it's a bad faith argument by FAUC that's just sour grapes over losing. They were always going to challenge the results on a loss, but it does look bad for them that they didn't do that until after the loss.

Lopezes problem with the auction was mainly that he felt like the amounts were too low. He didn't really explain why he felt that and has left everything really ambiguous (not a good judge IMO). He has left the managing of infowars under the care of the Trustee and has basically given them a "fix it" order with really no clear guidelines on how they are supposed to do that (other than don't do another auction).
What is impressive about this new model is that it is the lightweight version (flash).

Still doesn't excuse the prosecution from not informing the judge in a prompt manner, that they had received the information, who's lack of they used to get a default judgment. They let an entire trial happen, and still did not inform the judge that they had received the information. Prosecution only did so after the defence filled this motion.

>>Your own clip shows he lied under oath, stating he personally searched the

>> phone for "Sandy Hook" and got zero results.

It's possible he lied, but there's other explanations.

1. We don't actually know what kind of phone he was using, and its search capabilities. You're assuming it was the latest apple or Samsung. But it could have been a very basic phone, with limited search capability.

2. The phone in question, was not the one he searched. As Alex was likely using multiple phones (quite possible) over a span of 2 years. Gave the old one to his lawyer to backup, and searched his new phone. People lose or brake or upgrades phones all the time. The backup may not always restore everything. So it's possible there's a difference between what was given to the lawyer and the phone he searched, without any malice.

3. It's possible he searched for Sandy Hook, and still had no results for technical reasons. Eg. Gave the phone to the defence to backup. The backup copied the phone's data to a computer, but also erased the phone.

> Interesting to see duck typing advertised as a feature.

Speed of development is a legitimate factor to consider when making a choice of language for a project.

> I feel like the programming world is going strongly in the opposite direction.

There's a concerted corporate effort to push the programming world in that direction. It's not born out of a particularly strong rationale and not backed by the kind of organic efforts that would actually ensure it's long term success.

Meanwhile we have the technology to fully isolate every process on a machine from everything else on the machine. Do we use this? No. Instead we harass programmers to use languages based upon corporate tastes instead of actual engineering acumen. The desktop doesn't get any more secure and opening a random text message can destroy your life regardless of what language the messaging application was coded in.

Nit: they have a partnership with Tailscale to offer the VPN as a part of a tailnet that subscribes to the service.

I’ve never understood the neighbor approach. What’s the logic for that? Instead of your skin, it’s a person one door down from you, that was generous enough to share their connection with you? That’s not anonymity, that’s just outsourcing the identity to someone that probably extended trust to you. And if other things like Tor remove that connection, then what was the point of using a neighbor in the first place?

This is very cool, thank you for sharing. I work in automation and SWE for a certain 4-letter organization that delivers your mail. Pick/place is something we've rolled out using articulated and delta robots with vacuum end effectors, and it's an interesting and challenging space to be in. As in your case, bags and other amorphous shapes are always the most difficult. It's always an uphill battle to hit throughput targets due to exception cases that can stop things until a human gets involved. Ultimately, it can be a struggle to avoid overpromising and to generate ROI since automation is so costly, especially when there's no opportunity to bound the problem by influencing the inputs to your system or the output requirements (in your case, the cart being loaded). Best of luck and looking forward to seeing your new end effector.

Just for the record, that's not the main purpose of -fdelete-null-pointer-checks.

Normally, it only deletes null checks after actual null pointer dereferences. In principle this can't change observable behavior. Null dereferences are guaranteed to trap, so if you don't trap, it means the pointer wasn't null. In other words, unlike most C compiler optimizations, -fdelete-null-pointer-checks should be safe even if you do commit undefined behavior.

This once caused a kerfuffle with the Linux kernel. At the time, x86_64 CPUs allowed the kernel to dereference userspace addresses, and the kernel allowed userspace to map address 0. Therefore, it was possible for userspace to arrange for null pointers to not trap when dereferenced in the kernel. Which meant that the null check optimization could actually change observable behavior. Which introduced a security vulnerability. [1]

Since then, Linux has been compiled with `-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks`, but it's not really necessary: Linux systems have long since enforced that userspace can't map address 0, which means that deleting null pointer checks should be safe in both kernel and userspace. (Newer CPU security features also protect the kernel even if userspace is allowed to map address 0.)

But anyway, I didn't know that -fdelete-null-pointer-checks treated "memcpy with potentially-zero size" as a condition to remove subsequent null pointer checks. That means that the optimization actually isn't safe! Once GCC is updated to respect the newly well-defined behavior, though, it should become truly safe. Probably.

The same can't be said for most UB optimizations – most of which can't be turned off.

> Have you given consideration to indexing, accessibility and durability when working the problem?

This is actually a key area where we think we have an advantage over the competition. The model for Dioxus is to render to DOM on the web and only use the GPU renderer on native platforms (where we can integrate with system accessibility APIs directly).

The tradeoff for this is that our API on all platforms ends up being much closer to web APIs, our renderer has to implement a lot more of the web platform (e.g. we're shipping a full CSS engine, and using web-compatible Flexbox/CSS Grid for layout).
