Someone on Reddit pointed out to me after, DDS is DirectX specific and the DVD was for Win/Mac, so it may have been more of a multiplatform issue than a space one. In an ideal world you'd use DDS on Windows because it's fastest there, and whatever the OpenGL equivalent is on Mac, but that would've been well, well outside of space constraints, at that point
Comments like this one are so predictable and incredulous. As if the current state of the art is the final form of this technology. This is just getting started. Big facepalm.

I think it's relevant, and that's why I commented to shed some light on it.

I never accused anyone of being good or bad, I can't know that.

But what I do know is that this angle is used quite often by the same people who push Russian propaganda, like Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, and Benny Johnson.

How would you approach someone who has been misinformed into believing free speech protects foreign state interference and that's ok, for example?

Well, they claimed for years they wanted to strengthen civil liberties, stop surveillance, progress digitalisation of government etc.
That all should have worked well with their coalition partners and the fact that they never actually intended to do these things and thus didn't certainly plays a role in that they lost so much voter approval, even if the keep telling themselves the only reason is that the were not neoliberal enough!

> If an LLM can give you feedback on a way to proceed it sounds more like you might be the junior? :P

More like it has no grey matter to get in the way of thinking of alternatives. It doesn’t get fixated, or at least, not on the same things as humans. It also doesn’t get tired, which is great when doing morning or late night work and you need a reality check.

Deciding which option is the best one is still a human thing, though I find that those often align too.
Look at the story of how De Gaulle became prominent in the first place. France, with a huge army, fell to the German army in weeks, while politicians argued, resigned, sacked Generals etc.

Or look at how they ignored the occupation of the Rhineland, when even the German army felt they would be crushed if France attacked.

Etc etc

> That said, I thought that the rule in the UK was generally that the loser pays the winners costs

That’s generally true… but only happens after those costs have been incurred and probably paid.

There’s no guarantee the party suing will be able to cover their own costs and the defendant’s costs. That leaves OP on the hook for defence costs with the hope that they might get them back after a successful and likely expensive defence.

In that situation, I can understand why OP wouldn’t want to take the risk.

> a) In what universe would any attorney take up a lawsuit against a moneyed company with nothing but testimony from one person?

Well, you take up the lawsuit with not much. You get most of the evidence during discovery. And this is quite a common thing someone says "This happened to me" they sue and get discovery. So this universe.

> b) I made none of those other arguments and they're irrelevant to my single-sentence question.

It was all relevant, you just seem to be extremely ignorant of the subject. You said the case was damaged, however, it appears you're starting to realise it may not be damaged at all.

> c) If testimony doesn't impact trials and it's all a matter of competing paperwork, why do we have testimony at all? Well, juries for one. Court cases aren't merely about dispassionately weighing competing facts: they're adversarial pursuits of persuasion.

I had a friend who died young, I was young as well. I went to his funeral and there was an opportunity to speak about him and our memories of him. No one stood up to speak.

It was awful. I wanted to stand up and say he was a good friend, and to say I would miss him, but I didn't.

I've regretted that ever since - 30 years now, and I think about it frequently.

Even if LLM can do everything any software developer is capable of doing, it doesn’t mean it’ll solve interesting and profitable problems that humans or systems need.

I will say that there are businesses that has stepped out to fill this void: there are numerable “Internet/manga cafes”, that have private rooms where you have reclining chairs where you can nap; you can just rent a karaoke room for a couple of hours, some onsens have overnight options (including the same reclining chairs etc) - if you just want to have a semi-private space to nap, there are plenty of options.

Just coming home is difficult.

> It may not be mainstream enough for a daily driver, but I think it's the ultimate UNIX to put on a spare, underpowered machine.

Kind of my feelings when I run OpenBSD on an old desktop back in early 2000. It was a Pentium 133MHz IIRC and I had it as a text only (although it run X11 with WindowMaker just fine), for text things, learning, tinkering with services, and things like that.

It felt UNIX, whatever that really means.
It’s soup in the sense you need it for the layout to work in the browser. I clean up when I know there’s a component for what I need instead of a div+span+input+button or whatever use case is being solved. I mostly tweak font sizes, paddings and margins, sometimes rearrange stuff if the layout turns out broken (usually stuff just doesn’t fit the container neatly, don’t remember an instance of broken everything).
Technically speaking I'd say your expectation is definitely not laid out in the prompt, so anything goes. Believe me I've had such requirements from users and me as a mere human programmer am never quite sure what they actually want. So I take guesses just like the AI (because simply asking doesn't bring you very far, you must always show something) and take it from there. In other words, if AI works like me, I can pack my stuff already.
> it imagines the internet as a handful of giant platforms rather than a rich tapestry of independent, community-driven spaces.

As sad as it may be, their imagination is correct. The small spaces, summed up all together, are lost in the rounding errors.
I doubt it. While it's always a bit of a gray area, the example for "medium risk" is a site with 8M monthly users who share images, doesn't have proactive scanning and has been warned by multiple major organisations that it has been used a few times to share CSAM material.

Cases where they assume you should say "medium risk" without evidence of it happening are if you've got several major risk factors:

> (a) child users; (b)
social media services; (c) messaging services; (d) discussion forums and chat rooms;
(e) user groups; (f) direct messaging; (g) encrypted messaging.

Also, before someone comes along with a specific subset and says those several things are benign

> This is intended as an overall guide, but rather than focusing purely on the number of risk factors, you
should consider the combined effect of the risk factors to make an overall judgement about the level of risk on
your service

And frankly if you have image sharing, groups, direct messaging, encrypted messaging, child users, a decent volume and no automated processes for checking content you probably do have CSAM and grooming on your service or there clearly is a risk of it happening.
This is how every arms race starts.

Not according to TFA. It’s not that they can’t find trees to fell, it’s that they can’t afford commercial rates and they don’t want to use cheaper trees from continental Europe so they have to resort to soliciting donations.

Only a small fraction of ancient and veteran trees are protected (oak is veteran at 150+ years), not the vast majority:

> Despite their functions as carbon sinks and wildlife havens, there is no protection for ancient or veteran woodland unless it has been found to harbour other rare wildlife, or if it is subject to a tree protection order or is sited in a legally protected wildlife area. An estimated 20% of ancient and veteran trees are in such areas, so most have no legal protection. [1]

On the other hand, note it only shows 133MB of total mem, rather than 160MB that is installed. I believe the missing 27MB is used by the kernel (the kernel file itself is 23MB) and its data structures.

That being said, I suspect 64MB could be enough for console-mode work, and if you recompiled the kernel without any unused drivers, perhaps you could make it under 32MB.
Problem with extended programming language called English is that it has no "modes", and you have to use weird words and exotic intonation to have desired effect. Particularly OJSimpson's lawyer comes to mind, comical even those of us who barely knoweth the language.
As a huge fan of SGI (and MIPS, prior to their rise) I like to project SGI's wonderful hardware into the realm of laptops.

It was a huge surprise that the Fruit Company were the ones to come out with really robust, affordable (at the time) Unix-based laptops .. all the issues with Irix would have become relatively irrelevant had SGI built the laptop and had their Linux team work on the case.

Ah well, an alternative timeline I will visit when the technology to do so becomes more widely available. ;)

There would be no speed improvement, because the guile jit will not beat the existing native aot compilation via the libgccjit. It will be rather slower. But it will have proper concurrency support, and access to a wide area of guile libs. And a proper jit, which Stallman blocked for decades because of evil dll's.

not sure if that applies to you, but i've noticed that things like browsers on linux tend to use non-optimized version of stuff.

example: i had to dig into documentation and manually configure Firefox to use vaapi (video-acceleration api) in linux to make use of the built-in intel gpu when playing video. otherwise it will happily do decoding in software on the cpu. it doesn't look any different when viewing videos, except that it weighs on the cpu and consumes more battery.

stuff on the mac often does work better mostly because of the extremely limited hardware configurations, so software can be shipped with a few configuration sets that will mostly "just work".
Theory (and practice too) says that whatever was used in the proof-of-concept also stays.

It's a bit funny that they use Jedi Language Server for Python as they cannot use Microsoft's own Pylance ("Pylance is licensed for use in Microsoft products and services only, so can only be used on official Microsoft builds of Visual Studio Code and GitHub ...").

The city where I live—Yokohama—is very different in layout and density from the U.S. cities shown in that video. My neighborhood consists of many small plots of land, each with a different owner, separated by narrow streets. Unless it all gets wiped out by a tsunami, it’s never going to be rebuilt or have its layout changed—the landowners, many of whom live on their plots of land, would not stand for it.

My house is on the side of a steep hill. If in a few years—I am now 67–I become unable to walk up that hill, the only way I will be able to go anywhere is by calling a taxi. (No one in my family here knows how to drive.) Because of demographic trends, there is a shortage of human taxi drivers now and that shortage is likely to get worse. If I do become significantly less mobile five or ten years from now, I will be able to keep living in my home only if self-driving taxis are available.

So for me, in that very likely scenario, self-driving cars would make my life better. In Japan, there are millions of people in similar situations to mine.

The example of "medium risk" for CSAM urls is a site with 8M users that has actively had CSAM shared on it before multiple times, been told this by multiple international organisations and has no checking on the content. It's a medium risk of it happening again.

As a kid, I went to so many funerals, I remember I started somewhat liking it.

I grew up in Eastern Europe. My grandmother was a devoted christian with a lot of community work around church events. As a kid my parents would leave me often with her for the holidays. She took me with her to pretty much every funeral that was happening in the town, since she had to attend.

It sounds crazy but these events were large social gatherings, people bringing food, chatting. Often other kids would be there as well. Someone had died, but it wasn't necessarily a sad event. It was people being there for the deceased one and their relatives. There was also something like the "crying group" - that would be old ladies crying for the deceased one as an act of support of the relatives rather than expressing genuine feelings. The coffin would sometimes be placed on a trailer towed by a tractor to the graveyard. The "crying group" would hop onto the trailer and they would cry around the coffin. They were really good. I realize how strange this may sound, but it was just the way it was back then.

None of these funerals could prepare me for the loss of my 2 grandmothers. Still, without meaning it in a disrespectful way, death is an important part of our life-experience, and even as a kid, I'm thankful to have had seen it that often and in a non-violent way.
Now _that's_ what I came to the comments to either see, or say myself.
I hope they're right. If the technology improves to such a degree that meaningful content can be produced then it could spell global disaster for a number of reasons.

Also I just don't want to live in a world where the things we watch just aren't real. I want to be able to trust what I see, and see the human-ness in it. I'm aware that these things can co-exist, but I'm also becoming increasingly aware that as long as this technology is available and in development, it will be used for deception.
I think I won't go to my parents funeral (when the time comes).

I don't see the value of standing next to their corpses.

I didn't go to my grandma funeral, I don't regret it. I regret not having had deeper relationship with her.

Same with my parents. Will have many regrets, but I believe not saying goobye to their corpses won't be one.
