There’s an implicit assumption that trade deal details usually don’t involve illegal goods. That also doesn’t need to be clarified.

The other interpretation would be that you were under the curious assumption that US beef isn’t the lowest quality in all the first-world, and other countries would be happy with the substandard offcuts because even they would exceed local standards?
i have not used a penny in at least 5 years, i see planes on the daily - but get your point.

pennies are useless junk, straight to the recycling bin for me. really epitomizes our dysfunction that we are unable to stop making them
This is awesome news. The more players in this market, the more validation we (Hot Aisle) have for the things we've been working on for over a year now.

Having spent a bunch of time talking in person with the Vultr team, they are a great group of people.
Openwrt now has official hardware.
Its the media (or more generally group dynamics) too. One side exaggerates how nasty the other side is, which gets people outraged and engaged, then they act nasty to them because its 'justified.' It also creates a feedback loop where regardless of what the other side did originally they are now much more likely to be nasty to your side simply because you were nasty to them. Maximizing engagement like this necessarily destabilizes discourse. There is a huge monetary incentive to maximizing engagement, while there is only a mild philosophical one to stabilizing discourse, so guess which one loses.
When I saw the headline I was pretty excited, but looking at your examples, I'm really curious about why you decided to make everything work via CRDs? Also having to write code inside those CRD for the cleanup logic seems like a pretty steep learning curve and honestly I'd be pretty scared to end up writing something that would delete my entire cluster.

Any reason why you chose this approach over something like a CLI tool you can run on your cluster?
Ruckus is awesome. R710 and similar models are pretty cheap off-lease on ebay.
Not an AI fan, but damn it if this isn't really fucking cool and a great way to build up training data. Great job, OpenAI folks!
I’m trying to decide if I should be concerned about the safety of general-purpose computing with such technologies sneaking into our compute. Verifying compute workloads is one thing, but I can’t find information on what kind of regulatory compliance controls this addition enables. I assume it is mostly just operation counting and other audit logging discussed in AI safety whitepapers, but even that feels disturbing to me.

Also, bold claim: silicon fabrication scarcity is artificial and will be remedied shortly after Taiwan is invaded by China and the world suddenly realizes it needs to (and can profit from) acquiring this capability. Regulatory approaches based on hardware factors will probably fail in the face of global competition on compute hardware.
Are you comfortable to say which stimulant that is?

Maybe change teams or even downlevel?
That would be the regular GPL. The "Lesser" GPL allows you to use it as long as you release any changes you make to the LGPL'd code (and keeping the LGPL license) and allow users to replace the LGPL'd code, which typically means using it as a shared library.
Whittaker and Signal are only going to be able to hold up that umbrella from mass interception for only so long, and we need some fresh thinking in new directions, as there is no "governments vs. corporations" dichotomy anymore.

Instead of providing legal e2ee rights or protections for oligarchic platforms, breaking their hold on software distribution will do much more to ensure human growth and progress.

The big thing that happened since the 90s crypto wars was Snowden's "turnkey totalitarianism" prediction arrived and almost prevailed. The irony was the only thing that stopped it was the basic weaknesses of encryption and security on mobile phones (e.g. Android's fragmentation and some IC encryption sabotage) which made strong digital identity non-viable for policymakers to deploy at scale during the pandemic (newbs BTFO'd, lol. u kno who u are).

I was surprised as anyone, and my mind has changed about whether we should really want secure unhackable devices given who we've seen can organize to use them against us. The only thing that saved humanity from that was the crappy mobile device security that we in the privacy field had been trying to improve. I'm glad we failed. Not disagreeing with Whittaker, but we need some new thinking as the past does not resemble our present at all.
Stories Pushing Imaginary Nonsence
pytype (https://github.com/google/pytype) is based on symbolic interpretation of python bytecode, but with the data stack storing types rather than values. it works very well and has been running in production within google forever.

the nice thing about writing a bytecode rather than an AST interpreter is that you can leverage a lot of the work the python compiler does, and work with the resulting simplified code.
You don't have to leave the country to renew your H-1B status. As long as you stay in the US and have a legitimate reason, you can keep renewing the status. Some have done that for 20+ years while waiting for their green card priority date.

But if you leave the country for any reason and your entry visa has expired, you have to apply for a new visa to be allowed to return. And you often have to return to your home country to do that. Which can be inconvenient, as it can turn a short vacation or conference trip to a month-long stay in another country. And for citizens of some countries, there is a high risk of denial. Visiting your family can then leave you stranded in a country that's no longer your home, while being locked out of your actual home and life in the US.

This is a peculiar feature of the US system. In most countries, when you renew your temporary work permit (whatever it's called), you also renew you entry permit.
>Well, what is a company supposed to do if local candidates do not want RTO?

Well one option, of course, would be not forcing staff to return to office.
Oh sh*t you're right, the FAQ disappeared during the last redesign!
the point is you cant bypass them all but you CAN solve them all.
I am super stoked to try a Waymo when I'm in a city with one. It's hype failures have more to do with 10 years of hype about its public availability yet not being available to 99% of the world's population 10 years later. Hype is useless without the result.

I've had an HTC Vive and an Oculus Rift 3 (Walkabout Mini Golf is one I tried!) and while I wouldn't try to argue NOBODY has found a use for it (somebody somewhere found uses for all of the things I mentioned, just not me and just not the majority of people like big new things are promised to) it never really ticked the "new value" box before they ended up in the closet for me.
It's of course always a good idea to read the article before posting, but doubly so here – I was getting ready to yell about all of the annoyances making this infeasible to anyone with a less-than-extreme pain tolerance, but it turns out Java has changed a lot since I last used it around six years ago :)
What difference does that make? Why does the mode of the catastrophe matter? The examples I cited actually killed half the population at the time. Nothing since has even come close.
Researchers detect elevated levels of PFAS in fitness tracker/smartwatch bands
That's a good callout, but I do that if and when I can add extra meaningful context.

From a user's POV, "I already know what file not found means. You don't have to explain it to me again in your own words."
System Settings > Trackpad > "Tap to click" fixes that.

Try out the other options there too: two-finger tap for right-click, two-finger drag for scroll, and three-finger drag window by title bar.
If you don't think that having Linus Torvalds as a US citizen tremendously benefits the US public as a whole, enough to offset any imagined downsides of a great many merely average immigrating tech workers, there's nothing more to be said. And that's just him alone but he is merely one example of many other famous examples.
But they do if that's the reality of where they need to live for where they work. It's long been the case that some number of people in the US migrate south when they retire.
Night vision goggles have made immense improvements in recent years. Although the new technology in night vision is also very expensive. If they ever become accessible to the average consumer, they will change the world profoundly. Because you can walk during night as if it was day.

For astronomy, they probably won't make a difference, but it shouldn't be impossible to make goggle technology that converts astronomically interesting wavelengths to the visible spectrum.
That's very common actually! The mechanism of action for many drugs is unknown. And then it gets even weirder with psychoactive drugs: eventually the answer is "this drug effects this neurotransmitter which gives you this subjective first person experience, and we don't really know why". It brings up a lot of philosophical and existential questions!
I like the mediocrity of the example they headlined: the user asks for unit tests. Copilot writes only two test cases, so not exactly great coverage. Plus, the test cases uses python's unittest, which isn't as slick as pytest.
I think there are a lot of free hosts that could work?

- Fly.io has a free tier that has postgres (if you want to debug from your workstation against live pg, which is useful, it's $2/mo for a public IP)
- Supabase has a free tier (with the caveat that schema changes will resync the replica - which is fine as long as db is smallish)
- AWS/RDS offers one year free

Those are just off the top of my head. Plus as jitl mentions you can just run the Dockerized pg in any free docker env.
ChatBLT and Copilot break every license of every repo they were trained on. Even the most liberal project license states you have to include, and not modify, the license file. So you’re glad for code thieves. Interesting…

So to give you the benefit of the doubt that you’re not just another dude who has hitched their financial wagon to this current AI slopfest, I just retried a question about writing OSSEC rules and the response, while convincing looking, was completely wrong. Again.
I was Christian in 2000 and we thought Jesus would come again definitely, probably then too. There have been soo many disappointed millenarians in the past 2000 years.
Fentanyl is the new opium war.
It is one of the few things in language that definitely is wrong.

The point of saying "an" instead of "a" is to make it easier to say a following word that starts with a soft sound (there's probably a technical term).

"A igloo" is hard to say, so we change it to "An igloo" which is a lot easier.

"A history lesson" is not hard to say so there's no need for "an".

Have you ever said "an history lesson" or even heard anyone say that?

No. Of course not.
Yes, as an American citizen, I’d rather jobs be exported legally than people circumvent the legal immigration process.

At first I thought you meant that literally. ;)
Even 30 years ago, if you had a clear sky in countryside, you could see the occasional satellite. Very tiny, much tinier than airplane lights, and surprisingly fast. Today, there are a lot more.

And of course there have always been plenty of airplane lights.

Not to mention Venus, which more than one fighter pilot has tried to shoot down.
Came here to ask the same question. I bet I have 2000+ code completions in a single, fevered, Mountain Dew fueled day of coding, which would be my quota for a month of the free tier.
My plant would have been dead. As for the rest, sure, I would have resolved them eventually, after many frustrated hours of googling and trial and error.

Time is my most precious thing, I already don't have enough time to do all the things that I want to do, I don't want to waste that trying to find and test solutions when ChatGPT gives me instant answers. I'd rather spend time playing with my cats or riding a bike instead. It's not a matter of UI, it's a matter of preventing waste of time, energy and money, and less frustration. For that alone, €20/month is a very good value. And that's just for my personal life.
Not really. A lot of people in their 20s might have never actually done much with a computer, yet they cannot put their phone down. I know lots of 20-somethings that cannot type. I know even more that do not own a traditional "computer". It has nothing to do with fear, but lack of need.
Why R is the best coding language for data journalism
I'd categorize that under my "2) not have to show up early 3) peace of mind knowing your spot is reserved" points.

I don't necessarily agree with them either. It seems mutually beneficial to the venue to allow me to buy tickets digitally. It made sense maybe 20-25 years ago when the move online was a significant update to the then status quo. Now, it's just a revenue stream they don't want to give up that consumers see as the status quo, so why remove it? (from their perspective)
I was always down with Edgar Allan: “Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see”

But now I think he was vastly over-optimistic.
What I see is platitudes and not a plan.

What is the internet you want look like? How does it work? How is it funded?

"The corporate internet is bad" - is it? Or is it the result of giving people what they want. Or is your experience of it a problem with you and not anything fundamental at all? (e.g. the absurd number of people who complain their smart phones are distraction machines but won't uninstall or mute the apps which send them too many notifications).
Oops :)

I meant no disrespect, but from 2' or so, the conversation sounded more natural and things got smooth. Interest feature and I liked the 80's banner with the phone # like in the old TV ads!
So you would say "an history lesson"? No.
>Marisa Kabas correctly asserts that Substack’s latest announcement reaffirms their status as a publication (and not a platform) and as a place that will publish disinformation and hate under the guise of “free speech”.

'As we wrote in the Substackers Against Nazis letter, “there’s a difference between a hands-off approach and putting your thumb on the scale.” And by championing Bari Weiss and her worldview, Substack is once again putting its thumb on the scale'.

This person's example of bad thought / fascism to censor is Bari Weiss?

Can you get more of a censoring bootlicker? Shame on Kottke and whoever he quotes.
Surprisingly, neither Dish nor DirectTV has gone bankrupt. Satellites are pretty capital-intensive. They both faced challenges over the years but have managed to skate by. AT&T kept DirectTV afloat for quite a while. The proposed DirectTV + Dish merger fell apart for multiple reasons. While the government didn't explicitly reject it, there was a lot of uncertainty about whether they would bless it. The deal also required Dish's bondholders to voluntarily write off a chunk of their debt, which they ultimately got cold feet about.
Wait... What's wrong with dying peacefully in sleep?
The source code gets released at the point when you're discontinuing support. At that point you still have it, and the team, you're just not planning to continue supporting it tomorrow, so you release it now.

If tomorrow comes and for the next vulnerability you can neither patch it nor release the code because you don't have it anymore, now you're in trouble, because you have an obligation to do one or the other. But whose fault is that? You had it a month ago and were supposed to release it before you delete it. Imposing penalties for that kind of pointlessly destructive behavior is hardly unreasonable.
If your pr deploys a machine learning model then that would be a suitable comment. I suppose the idea is similar, we can determine that this drug helps so a (hopefully) statistically significant degree so even if we don’t know how it works we want to use it.
That's an irrelevant distinction. Neither are part of the judicial branch, which is the relevant consideration here.

Consider: Congress passes a law which sets limits on the authority of an agency. You think the agency itself should get to decide what that law actually means? And the courts, the branch of government specifically granted the role of arbiter by our constitution, should be required to differ to that interpretation if anyone ever objects and brings a lawsuit? It's absurd, and no less so than if the law was concerning a private company rather than a public agency.
So as far as I can tell, this is basically a more modern Flask. It pulls in design lessons from FastAPI, but it's still more batteries included such as templating (jinja2) and authentication.

Neat, but tbh I am very bearish on Python's future beyond APIs - templating html in Python is a terrible idea for anything larger than a hobby site, when you can have an API-first app with a React+Typescript frontend.

And if you need more than FastAPI, you might as well use django-ninja and get the full Django ecosystem at your disposal.
This has been part of standard ubuntu repos for sometime. (apt install solaar)
I've had an MX Master mouse (the "2" for maybe 8-9 years then the "3" for 2-3 years now) and love it. Great performance, great battery life, fantastic design and feel. On Windows I definitely do not love the 150Mb program to manage it (surely sending a torrent of unnecessary telemetry data back to Logitech.

I found Solaar a couple months ago after getting repeatedly frustrated with bluetooth connection issues. It really is exactly what it needs to be. Better interface than Logitech's, simple, lightweight. Devs have my thanks; what a great show of the goodness of open source software.
I'm in the process of switching over from ngircd to ergo and have contributed a FreeBSD initscript to ergo.

My little IRC community has been going on for what must be more than 15 years now.
There has been a noticeable slowdown this year. Maybe it will be the end of the line in a few years.

Nice to hear that at least there are others out there.
I have vivid memories of the first time I connected my Nokia to a laptop and used mobile dialup-internet from the passenger seat of a car to connect to the IRC server while going down the Autobahn.
Mobile internet was unheard of at the time, so it was totally exciting!
Five Questions to Ask Before Adopting AI in Government
Interactive Lustre tutorial on Gleam tours
OpenAI is diversifying a lot, and I’m not sure that’s a good thing.

It’s great to ship fast. But you need to maintain things as well. And that requires even more time and engineers and money in the end.

There’ll definitely be projects within OpenAI that will be shutdown in a few months, just because it hasn’t caught and/or engineers want to work on something new.

That’s how Google worked in the 2000s - shipping new things fast - but then there was Reader and now they lost everyone’s trust.
For JetBrains IDE-s the open source CodeGPT plugin works much better. Many more models to choose from
Based both on macOS documentation and on the experiences of people who use macOS:

> without Drag Lock: Double-tap an item, then drag it without lifting your finger after the second tap; dragging stops immediately when you lift your finger.

> with Drag Lock: Double-tap an item, then drag it without lifting your finger after the second tap; dragging continues when you lift your finger, and stops only when you tap the trackpad once.

> three finger drag: Drag an item with three fingers; dragging stops immediately when you lift your fingers.

It may well be that with current mac systems that have "force touch", it might be possible (or necessary) to replace some of those steps with "press hard". I stand by my statement that this is a lot of engineering and a lot of user adaptation in order to not have mouse buttons.
yeah, we were definitely stagnant when the focus was on crypto
I thought this was true. However after buying and trying to use one of their mesh products, I gave up and got rid of it. I bit the bullet and went with Ubiquiti, and I'll never buy anything else again. Worth the extra cost imo.
You're right that Anki won't change my priority issues. But at least starting to give some priority to learn German that way may lead to more motivation to other activities, such as German course with actual people.

My plan is to re-evaluate where I'm at end of January next year.
I live in a city, and I have no idea how much the total is going to be before going to checkout right now, so arguably that wouldn't be a change for the worse.

This is at a merchant that, to say it lightly, has some prior knowledge of me and even has a drop-down menu to let me select the shipping destination out of my saved ones.

So far, that's only used for determining shipping times and availabilities – so why not also display amounts post-tax?
Slint 1.9 Released with New Live-Preview Element Inspector, Translation Bundling
It has a DryRun that generates a report on which resources would be affected. So you can see what resources identifies as unused before asking it to remove those. I would be scared as well otherwise. Agree.
Tried to move from JetBrains to VS Code with new Copilot Edit mode. Moved back to JetBrains and horribly outdated copy paste workflow ... for now. Disruption is imminent though. (And yes JetBrains AI integration got better but the 'insert code at cursor option' is laughable. There is a command to generate code right in the editor too, but not from chat. Also $10 extra. )

PS: One UI feature that I haven't seen anywhere yet is not splitting the screen into code and chat but unifying it.

Also a common approach (e.g. in openai composer) seems to be to modify the file line by line which takes a very long time if the file is long, which (agentic) tools use a diff approach instead?
Reads as compliance controls being embedded into the code with integrated gates to halt execution, or verify controls are met at runtime - providing receipts with computed outputs. This is generally oriented toward multi-party, confidential, sensitive computing domains. As AI threat models develop, general compliance of things during training, or benchmarking, etc become more relevant as security posture requires.

Great is pretty domain-specific!

Java has been great for larger projects for a while, but I think smaller things like one-off scripts have been firmly out of reach so far.

It's good to see that change, as being able to use it in the small has obvious synergies.
Software Developers Statistics 2024 – State of Developer Ecosystem Report
After years of Python and TypeScript, I've started using Java as my default for everything. It's just so much more productive. The ancient developer memes that Java is slow and clunky don't apply anymore.

Postgres also had a long-held reputation for being slow and difficult, but it made incremental improvements for decades and now it's the default choice for databases.

I see Java in the exact same position, as the Postgres of languages.
> TP-Link wifi range extenders as well as they should be just layer 2 devices

Nope. Any device that has a wired Ethernet port and an antenna cannot be just a layer 2 device; WiFi is not just a wireless Ethernet. Also, any device that you can ping by IP address and configure over the network rather than over a serial cable is operating above layer 2 for at least the control plane.
