The broadest strokes of these issues are

1. people are working more than ever, especially in this economy. Some do lots of overtimes, some have multiple jobs (be it two literal part time jobs or full time job and doing dash services on the side). Some have other side hustles that they hope to convert into more income

Personal anecdotes: I work in games so it's never a surprise when I hear some of them need to crunch for a few months. A few others are actually trying to build up their band and do gigs every other weekend

2. non-surprisingly, people's down on money. Probably not much explanation here; not much time to hang out if they have to move (2 of my friends out of state) or job hunt after a layoff (pretty much all my friends at some point in 2023/4).

3. There's a lot of pandemic habits that never truly wore off. Some simply stay on social media, a few of my friends were always into MMOs and put more time than ever into that. They are interacting, just not necessarily with you.

4. Family. Very old knowledge, but when friends get serious partners and later spouses and especially kids, that's what they put almost all their time into. A single friend will fall off without some work.
I don't think we know wtf they've actually banned until we see the implementation details.

It could be a Pornhub-style "are you over 16?" checkbox, all the way up to building a Chinese-style identity verification system.

The worst case is that VPN use in Straya will rise a lot next year, and all the ban will effectively have done is removed parental oversight on the kids' social media accounts.

edit: spelling, and also rethinking "the worst case". The worst case is some idiotic uniquely-Australian authoritarian attempt to remove online anonymity that ends up making a complete NBN-style farce of the place.

I hope Americans are wise enough now to not believe things like this are from Iran. Remember there are powerful foreign interests in the US who desperately want you to fight Iran on their behalf - don't listen to them, your lives are worth more than that.

Had to look it up but apparently rexx was first released in 1979. My first thought for a contender was the Bourne shell for unix but it too was released in 1979. The earlier Thompson shell(1971) apparently was not really designed for scripting. csh was released with 2bsd in 1978.

But then I got off the unix kick and looked at the xerox alto which had a smalltalk environment and smalltalk was first released in 1972 and I would say that due to it's interactive nature smalltalk is defiantly a scripting language.

But then I looked at lisp, and it is hard to say if lisp is a scripting language, it could have been, however it was invented and implemented before there were really environments to script. but I am still going to give the award to lisp. and from the wikipedia page, I thought this was pretty great.

"According to McCarthy

Steve Russell said, look, why don't I program this eval ...
and I said to him, ho, ho, you're confusing theory with practice,
this eval is intended for reading, not for computing.
But he went ahead and did it.
That is, he compiled the eval in my paper into IBM 704 machine code,
fixing bugs, and then advertised this as a Lisp interpreter, which it certainly was.
So at that point Lisp had essentially the form that it has today ...

There’s an easy solution here: Apple isn’t trying to compete with the big models everyone else is running. They’re betting in the opposite direction that many small models is a better value ad for their customers. And they can call out to other services as needed for the larger stuff.

I’m in the camp that this is the right call for consumers, instead of trying to compete on the large model side. They’ve yet to deliver on their full promise, but if they can, it’s the place where I think more of the industry will go (for consumers)

And regarding Google’s mobile tensor chips, they are infamously behind all other players in the market space for the same generation of processor. They don’t share the same advantages they do in the server space.
These screenshots are really upsetting and the text clearly appears to encourage self-harm, deception, and isolation from his parents. This thing must be trained on troll discord chat logs or something.

When these vile chats eventually get hooked up to realistic video AI it's going to cause a lot of harm.
To add to this: ask people around you what they think you are good at. Often you will find they mention things you never even thought about. You don't think about it because they are so easy for you that you can't even imagine someone having trouble with it.

It seems pretty likely this guy chose a "yandere" [1] obsessive anime girlfriend card and implied that his (character's) parents were trying to keep him from her (eg- by making him go to bed). The bot, responding in character in accordance with the scenario, would have lost her mind.

I quite enjoy selling stuff n Etsy. The products and buyers there are not on a race to the bottom for the absolute cheapest thing (maybe it is so in things like shirts or mug or whatever) but instead I see the buyers as people expecting and unique thing that resonates with them.

So I think the key is unique and then using keywords, videos and Etsy ads are not bad to get some traction, even for a brand new store
overall this says the US will allow undenitified drones in our air space and to fly unabated to our enemies ... one of these or future ones could be weaponized. So its unfathomable to me that they we are letting these things fly unabated in our airspace, as well the govt is providing zero info or re-assurance.
As bubbles go, the major pillar under Trump’s crypto boom is waves of bailouts. Future Americans will foot the bill, and know it. The selling point for pumps in 2025 will be, “but this one will be bailed out” and also still make the gains of a digital asset rather than a security.

The big one, the one Musk will ride atop X coins, will initially be framed as a gamble to pay off the national debt.
> What the heck does that mean? Last I checked, population demographics weren't that far off 50/50 in most countries.

Hey, I'm married so I'm just going by what my single / online dating friends tell me. It has nothing to do with demographics. In today's app-based environment, something like 80% of women are interested in / going for the top 10-20% of men, and it's getting even more extreme. Is this not true?
People posting in this thread seem to think a Trump DOJ appointed trustee would act in a way that benefits Alex Jones.

Infowars has a large following and has been very supportive of Trump while being critical of Biden. The rationale for the motivation to act politically in both directions is certainly there.
Oh please, this is the classic “everyone who chooses differently than myself is <superficial/dumb/misinformed>” argument that a lot of people use when it comes to tech nerd identity politics.

The two groups of families are the only two creditors. The Connecticut families are owed ~$1bil, the Texas families are owed ~$50mil. Nobody else is getting any money.

The bid that was accepted would give the Texas families more than they would have gotten from the other bid, because the Connecticut families were willing to give it to them, because they valued stripping Jones of his platform higher than the cash.

The only people worse off are the people who submitted the losing bid (Alex Jones' cronies). The creditors, and the estate, were not. And they're the ones the bankruptcy Trustee has the highest duty to.
Devices can now use all 1,200 MHz of the 6 GHz band, which was previously restricted. This move supports newer tech standards like Wi-Fi 6E and sets the stage for Wi-Fi 7.
Many or most packages don't have good cross-build infrastructure. That's important when you're a Fedora or Ubuntu building 50k+ random packages, not just working on GCC / LLVM / Linux Kernel all the time.

Doing "native" build in an emulator works for just about everything, but with a 10x - 15x slowdown compared to native or cross-build.

While price/performance of RISC-V is currently significantly worse than x86, it's not 10x worse.

A $2500 Milk-V Pioneer (64 cores, 128 GB RAM) builds a RISC-V Linux kernel five times faster than a $1500 x86 laptop (24 cores) using RISC-V docker/qemu.

A $75 VisionFive 2 or BPI-F3 takes 3 times longer than the x86 with qemu but costs 20 times less.

If you're only building one thing at a time and already have the fast x86 ... then, sure, use that. But if you want a build farm then RISC-V native on either the Pioneer or the VF2 is already much better.

These P550 machines are an incremental improvement again, in price/performance.

That's fine though. Full compatibility doesn't have to mean full backwards compatibility. I think of it as what's Typescript to Javascript.

I always try to read the source script before running it, unless it’s something I trust highly (brew, for example or tteck scripts in the case of PVE). Even then, I read some of them just to see what it does under the hood.
> Another option is to use a proper OS that includes the ability to receive signals as a part of your main event loops

Every 'nix can do that. Your signal handler just writes a byte to a pipe and your main loop reads the pipe or fifo. The pipe/fifo is your event queue, which your main loop reads.

> Is this something Flutter doesn't do?

Flutter does do this (at least to some extent) on Desktop/Mobile. It attempts to create a hidden DOM tree for accessibility on web. Which generally doesn't seem to be thought to work very well.

> One of the most jarring experiences I have with Flutter Desktop was it lacked MacOS Emacs-style key bindings for text editing (ctrl-a, ctrl-e, etc.). Not sure if Dioxus solved this?

Ah, we're nearly there on that one. We have a PR [0] accepted into Winit (the underlying windowing library we use) which will allow us to access those events. We're just waiting on Winit to do a new release and then we can integrate it into Dioxus.

Intel's board needs to go.

If they stay the course they'll be in an amazing position. Especially if China makes a move on Taiwan...

You want signalfd, which may optionally fed to epoll or any of the other multiplexing syscalls.

Signalfd can mostly be implemented on any platform using a pipe (if you don't have to mix 32-bit and 64-bit processes, or if you don't need the siginfo payload, or if you read your kernel's documentation enough to figure out which "layout" of the union members is active - this is really hairy). Note however the major caveat of running out of pipe buffer.

A more-reliable alternative is to use an async-signal-safe allocator (e.g. an `mmap` wrapper) to atomically store the payloads, and only use a pipe as a flag for whether there's something to look for.

Of course, none of these mechanisms are useful for naturally synchronous signals, such as the `SIGSEGV` from dereferencing an invalid pointer, so the function-coloring approach still needs to be used.

I wonder how a new platform can seed content to compete with YouTube

Sure! Some technologies are fine. Some of them are not.

The existence of one set does not negate the existence of the other.
That's a fair point and I don't disagree. I guess my main point of contention was the implication that either a) ZFS wasn't stable on anything non-LTS or b) the Linux kernels themselves were unstable outside of a LTS.

What stable means in this case is subject to individual use cases. In my case, I don't find having to wait a bit for ZFS to catch up despite being on an EOL kernel to be catastrophic, but after having some time to think, I can see why someone would need an LTS kernel.
That's not even close to true, WTF. YouTube 480p has criminally low bitrate, even the crappiest DVDs have better quality.

My favorite time waster story was an old guy who took a scrap junk car from me (his retirement career).

Said some slick guy in a suit showed up on his farm property unannounced and made him an offer on it.

Owner was so annoyed that he smiled and told the guy to come back tomorrow and they'd talk it over.

Guy shows up the next (sunny) day with a colleague... both in suits... in summer... in the southeast US.

Owner proceeds to walk them 6km+ around the perimeter of the property while dangling the possibility he'd be willing to sell.

Then finally ends things with "But you know what it comes down to? My dog was born on this property, and she's pretty old now. I don't think it'd be kind to move her. So I appreciate your time, but don't think I'm interested in selling."

Was impressed at how much time and ingenuity retired folks have to fuck with people, just because they can.
He is correct.

I've heard it described as if a drunk russian was trying to speak spanish.
Better not publish anything on youtube either.
Great article. Like many other people, I largely stopped contributing to open source years ago because people don’t respect boundaries. If you point out that they are not respecting boundaries, many will try to argue that they are entitled to this behavior because reasons. Long term, this dynamic is what is going to kill most OSS by people doing it for the love of it.

Unless you are making a lot of money by doing it, the act of sharing source code often has a negative return.
For those wondering about the tiny amount of keys, you definitely can get used to it.

I have a similar sized keyboard, and the trade off is basically - I move my hands around the keyboard much less, and in return I have to to press more keys. IE, to make the ( symbol I have to press 3 keys, and on a regular keyboard it's 2 keys (shift + 9), but you have to move your hand up and right to a place in the keyboard I don't even have. I'm basically on the home row all the time.

There's also various timing based mechanisms to get around this (ie, hold a key and it does something different if you tap it), but I find it all a bit fiddly and just do basic chording. YMMV.

The ICO has information regarding such requests, like https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-re... which discuss internal emails.

There is a lot of exceptions and area for redaction, but the most significant in this case would be disclosing information that identifies another individual. As an example they have a fictional employee requesting a HR file. The HR file is likely to include information identifying managers and colleagues, or may include revealing information that relates to and identifies another individual. Redacting the names could be enough, or the emails might be heavily redacted down to only strict information regarding the employee without any parts of decisions or input given by the manager. If the intent of the requester is to get "what did my manager say about me", then that would not be valid.
I’m not implying that. I’m hopeful they’ll take down their handbook so that others don’t follow in their footsteps. I also wish for their business to cease operating.
I haven't tried it, as you get asked for the answers to common security questions, and supply a voice sample. You could lie but many people won't.

My other issue is that it will have been trained on a large number of voice samples and no one will learn how to distinguish different accents by using it, or even by developing it.

An alternative, knowledge-based approach, would work by splitting the speech into phonemes and matching phonemes/sequences of phonemes against known accents or foreign languages, e.g. if a native speaker rhymes "good" and "food", you can reliably tell they're either from Scotland or Ulster. Telling close accents apart is easy with the right phrases, e.g. "fish and chips" (Australian vs. New Zealand), "I saw the White House" (General American vs. Canadian). For non-native speakers, you can use the phoneme inventory of their native language, so if someone has difficulty in pronouncing "th" you can rule out Greek or Spanish (from Spain), and if someone has difficulty in pronouncing "f" they're probably Korean.

Of course, that's a lot of work up front, but you'd learn a lot in the process of developing such a system, and it would be able to explain its decisions to users. And by asking you to repeat standard phrases (like "good food") you would allay security concerns.
