Never heard of Cix CPUs before. But given that rk3588 with quad Cortex A76 boardsare among the best available for SBC - and often run $120+ - this $199 board is enormously relieving to see, feels like a serious option.

And so well loaded out! Dual 5Gbe. PCIe 4.0. So sweet!
Jetbrains is getting laughingly bad at normal autocompletion.

Autocompletiok is losing features every day, it seems. Yes, Jetbrains might either be removing features to move them to AI, or breaking features involuntarily in order to move faster to implement AI.

Either way, AI is killing Jetbrains.

In terms of tools, my outlook is optimistic. I feel like worries #1 and #2 being mitigated by tools that enable E2EE in spaces where it was not available before. Examples include CryptPad[0] for office productivity, Ente[1] for photos, and Joplin[3] as a full-featured notes app supporting encryption. In the category of common everyday tools, I'd like to see more E2EE options for managing bookmarks across browsers.

Additionally, I would like to see more E2EE applications competing with popular SaaS offerings. It scares me to think of the potential damage that could come from a breach of ServiceNow, Atlassian, and any other SaaS where businesses expect to store private information. Given the US governments' proclivity to declare economic sectors as "critical infrastructure" plus recent incidents[3][4] affecting major cloud services, we can only expect increased levels of scrutiny over SaaS security.

Living in the US, my primary worry about mass surveillance is less about the technology or the adpotion. I'm fortunate to live in a place where there is a low risk of violence due to authoritarian use of mass surveillance. My primary concern is the effects surveillance has on our collective decision making. The idea that we have less free will because surveillance keeps powerful instututions one step ahead of individuals is the topmost concern for me. I.e., the ending message of Metal Gear Solid 2[5].

Bringing over 10K java developers a year is going to brain drain other countries of java developers?
Google's recent launches have been technically impressive (especially Veo 2), but given the company's past track record on creating new products, I'm not very bullish that they can turn those launches into products with the same excitement and sense of direction as OpenAI at least appears to have. Google has the benefit of having platforms that span billions of devices and people, but with the looming threat of antitrust regulation, I'm not so sure they'll have the benefit of the last thing for long. Granted, I doubt that 1-800-ChatGPT will be a significant source of users for the product, but it does signal some of the creativity from the company that seems to be escaping Google regularly (see: NotebookLM's leads leaving to form their own startup).
Can Carta Cancel Securities when users offboard?
AI companies use the argument "what we're doing is fair use, so we don't need to follow the license". If that argument is valid, then you can't because nothing you put in the license will apply to them anyway. If that argument is invalid, then basically every license* already does opt out, since basically every license* requires attribution, and the AI companies don't give that.

* Even the extremely lax MIT license requires attribution. Basically the only licenses that don't are public-domain equivalent ones like CC0, the Unlicense, and the WTFPL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-domain-equivalent_licen...
Well, the way program exists now, it's utilized by two kinds of companies:

1) Someone like Verizon that uses it for cheap labor

2) Someone like Netflix that wants to hire good engineers

The way the program works now (before those changes?), it's much easier for group 1 to fill its positions via staffing agencies overseas. That's true even if a company from group 2 already know who they want to hire, since it's a lottery system.

Would be easier if this were two different visas (or program got revamped in a way that it actually works as it's sold to public), but we can't have "Cheap Human Labor Visa" for various reasons.
> What prevents me from lighting a regular-wing RC plane with the same lighting configuration?

If I’m not mistaken, the FAA does (unless RC planes aren’t covered?). Are you really positing that I saw an intentionally misconfigured RC plane flying in the middle of nowhere at 2 AM?

You’re right that I’m making a leap with the trans-wing part. I said that because it’s my understanding that some of the sightings have included airfoil and transforming drones, that a trans-wing drone would exhibit the light pattern I saw, and that the military (Navy I believe) does own trans-wing drones that match other the descriptions of other sightings. So to me the lights were the final nail that this wasn’t a plane, but I held on to it being a plane for a while.
And that logo ... Ugh!

I don't think Java is fit for "the small". And there is nothing wrong with that. My go-to language for "the small" is Go. Java is good for enterprise heavy-lifting, not for quick and nimble tools.

I started with Java 1.0 and thought it was great. I still do, although I haven't used it since 2020.

The only thing I don't like is how there is no built-in JSON package which seems like a necessity these days.

Removing the public static void main(String[] args) business seems like pandering to a non-existent audience, or at least a miniscule and insignificant one. Anyone who is going to use Java for a real project is not going to be worried about that, and anyone who thinks that's too difficult to deal with is never going to be a good programmer anyway.

America has better values than most countries. And Americans should generally trust America more than foreign countries and certainly more than the chinese government.

here are some civilian deaths within china:

- land reform killed 1-4.7 million

- campaign to suppress counterrevolutionaries killed 712k-2mm

- three-anti and five-anti campaigns killed at least 100k

- sufan movement killed ~53k

- anti-rightist campaign killed 550k-2mm

- '59 tibetan uprising killed 87k

- violence in the great chinese famine killed 2.5mm

- socialist education movement killed 77k

- guanxi massacre killed 100-150k

- inner mongolia incident killed 15-100k

- yangjiang massacre killed 3.5k

- daoxian massacre killed 9k

- ruijin massacre killed 1k

- zhao jianmin spy case killed 17k

- shadian incident killed 1.6k

- tiananmen square protests & massacre killed 200-10k

that's just a sample. this doesn't show the ongoing genocides, the economic colonization of SE asia and africa, the abuses of chinese-supported states (DPRK, burmese junta, naval intervention in libya, etc.)

objectively the American system seems to work out much better and is based on vastly superior principles.

all that aside, I am an American and place the interests of my people ahead of those of foreigners. as such, I will support a world order led by the government most likely to maximize our welfare and very nearly any means needed to preserve that.

It's actually not quite so clear cut. 1053/1054 was when mutual excommunications between Rome and Constantinople happened, but (as the schism itself is evidence of) Constantinople did not speak for the entire church, and other eastern sees continued communion with Rome for quite some time afterward.

"Former Russian President threatens that Russia may engage in state-sponsored international terrorism, mass-murdering civilians in other countries."

_______

> Medvedev, who cast himself as a liberal reformer promising modernisation and democratisation upon becoming president in 2008, has reinvented himself as one of Russia’s most vocal pro-war figures.

Some context for younger readers: At that time the Russian constitution limited Putin to two consecutive 4-year terms as President (2000-2008) and Medvedev was put forward as the moderate-looking maybe-successor. However Putin just used him to keep the seat warm for a term while he kept ruling from a Prime Minister position. This was also a period when some held out hope that Putin might decide to gradually retire, allowing Russia to become less autocratic and erratic.
You’d be pretty wrong, then. ChatGPT in particular will cite its sources via an internet site.

My wife wanted a pair of boots for Christmas that I couldn’t find in her size. Google was a wasteland of SEO, but ChatGPT found 5 sites and was able to tell me current stock levels.

> Even if the company is bankrupt, that doesn't mean they don't still have the source code. In general it would be on their computers

If often is not. Most organizations use source control these days, and SaaS or otherwise third-party hosted offerings are very popular, and those may disappear as soon as bills stop being paid. And most endpoint disks are encrypted by default or by regulatory environment, so the source code on them isn't accessible without any employees present. And the source code of dependencies may be on a computer at a different company, accessible only with credentials of employees who were laid off last week.

> It's one of those things where people don't care about something because they don't understand it, not because it doesn't affect them.

> People care about things like "I have to buy a new phone for no good reason because the old one stopped getting updates" but if you ask them how that relates to open source they don't know the answer.

No, source availability only affects developers and developer-adjacent people. And that's actually a great example. Nobody's auntie is installing LineageOS on their Pixel 1. It doesn't matter that the bootloader is unlocked. It doesn't matter if the OS on it has security vulnerabilities. Only nerds like the people on this forum care about this stuff. Everyone else either doesn't care and uses the old phone as is, or they care enough to go to the store and buy a new phone.
For the small I like Groovy. Especially as Grapes is like Maven but in annotations that you include in the script file. Being Java-based means that if it goes from "in the small" into something larger you are already on a stable foundation.

It's a policy based on unsound reasoning. Why is India treated as a monolith when it is more diverse than the EU in terms of linguistic and cultural diversity? If tomorrow India magically broke off into 30 separate states, all the same people who have been waiting for decades would be immediately eligible for green cards. How does it make any sense?

Sometimes by accident. The original serotonergic antidepressants were antibiotics that happened to have MAO inhibition as a side effect. Initially developed to treat tuberculosis, doctors noticed the drugs had a stimulating side effect. A year later, a psychiatrist decided to trial them for depression, and found some success.

It's actually the other way around. They didn't have very serious theories about the etiology of depression back then, the only clue they had was from the pharmacology of these drugs, which led to the situation where for many years the leading theory on depression was that it was caused by low levels of monoamine neurotransmitters(serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine). The main evidence for this initially was the fact that these drugs seemed to work, and that they increased the levels or effects of monoamines. This theory has since become discredited as we've learned more, although the connection between monoamines and depression is still strong. It's just not the whole picture.

Exactly. Sacred architecture flows necessarily from essence (what church is) through substance (can't be accident or easy-to-vary) into form (matter receiving truth). Regrettably, accidents get commonly confused for substance like mistaking material poverty for spiritual authenticity, or adorning for corruption. Poor churches in middle ages still had a golden chalice (for literal God), cruciform layout (or other hard-to-vary forms in orthodox churches), eastern orientation, and an elevated altar. Why would a church built in A.D. 2024 have less?
I agree. With the rise of LLMs, Siri is basically useless outside of triggers 3 or 4 actions on my phone (timer, call, message, play music)
AFAIK the keyboard in question only uses USB for charging. It can't send keys over the wire.

Well, your comment is just aggressive and doesn't provide any constructive feedback.

Why should anyone care about aggressive comments?
Do you have a tldr or some link I could read to know what you mean? Is this hardware braking a lot from factory so that it already needs repairing less than 6 months later? If so that seems like a warranty issue more than a repairability issue (although I’m sure it could turn into one). Or do you mean that this hardware prevents repair in some way that will be a problem once it starts breaking?

If you filter out Information only ( which i am being conservative because this does not include healthcare and other sectors ) that is about 20K high paying IT Jobs. This def smells funny that they cannot find "quality" candidates in US that can build APIs and do FE work. Maybe out of that 20K workers, 500 might be actually be doing something special but rest are doing the work that does not need any specialization.
I'm not saying it's good or bad at brain drain, I'm just saying without knowing how many people overseas are worth "draining" that's not an argument.

H1B was created in 1990, that's when Russia (and ex-USSR in general) had a lot of idle brains that wouldn't mind moving to the US. Today isn't 1990 tho.
I haven't written Java in a million years.. so I'm trying to understand better.

But what does this code even mean..? Isn't Java's whole simplifying model that everything lives in "Objects"? This seems to break that fundamental paradigm and makes the language more complicated. If you needed something like global functions then in vanilla Java as I remember you'd stick it into static final Objects that acts as a namespace of sorts. So you don't need to worry about functions floating around in a global namespace soup.

If you're gunna just have free floating functions in your file.. then why not just cut to the chase and have a

println("Hello world");

floating in your file..? (I mean... you don't have REPL so maybe that wouldn't be too meaningful...)
Did you check on Craigslist, FB Marketplace, and local thrift stores? Often times they can be found for like $20.
Cities did not use to suppress offspring. When countries were developing, and even in developing countries today, cities had high-fertility slums. Look at pictures of New York in the 1900s with multigenerational families sharing a room.

If anything higher standards of living (and higher expectations of what children should get) suppress offspring. Easier access to medical care and family planning in cities also plays a factor.

> In cases where Carta will no longer serve as the SEC registered Transfer Agent for US companies, all securities from the issuing company will be marked as ‘canceled’ within your portfolio.

> This does not mean that the underlying securities themselves are canceled or terminated. A banner will be displayed in your portfolio to clarify this distinction. [...]

So it sounds less like "old agreements and contacts are voided" and more like "your legal stuff still exists but we aren't managing it for you, better figure that out amongst yourselves."

yes, the vscode extension is a one click install, so is ollama which is a separate project that provides local inference

Signal can be a bit weaker on the watch up here in Canada but is otherwise adequate. The problem with Apple Watch cellular when not using an iPhone to forward data is (1) battery life on LTE is terrible compared to data over Bluetooth, using wifi, or turning on airplane mode and (2) call forwarding from iPhone to Watch, on some Canadian carriers, is charged per minute due to a carrier bug (Telus) which you can call to get refunded but is still frustrating. Normally calls go to your iPhone and the voice is forwarded to the watch over Bluetooth, I believe. Basically the Apple Watch more often acts like an AirPod than a cell phone.

I end up carrying my iPhome with my Android phone to avoid this. I mount the iPhone to my bike/scooter when available using Quad Lock waterproof cases.
If you can actually isolate state well enough, and code every isolated component in a way that assumes that all state external to it is untrusted, sure.

I've been playing dreidel for 40+ years. I've never played a game to completion. But that's not really the point of the game. The point is it's a way to distribute chocolate while teaching a little bit about probability and game theory.

We usually boxed it to about 10 minutes max. So everyone mostly got the same amount of chocolate, and some people did a little better than others. And then you went to mom and dad for a "bailout" because it wasn't fair that your little brother got more than you.
I’d say it: we know that some people currently know more, but, the average person mostly knows something about what is known, rather than knowing it directly.
I would imagine. /shrug
No they cannot, unless maybe you have advanced degrees and a couple decades experience.
I switched to a ZSA Moonlander last year. The ortholinear layout (and my poor typing hygeine) meant I needed to relearn how to type over the course of about a month. keybr.io was very useful in this regard.

I love the keyboard now though, and don't really enjoy typing on standard membrane keyboards with staggered layouts anymore. I also went from having to take frequent breaks from typing (every 30 mins) due to wrist pain, to being able to type continuously for extended periods with no discomfort.

The price is the most painful part...but a keyboard is a tool of the trade, so I don't feel too bad splurging on it.
It is part of the great plan:

- Buy GitHub and devalue all individual projects by soft-forcing most big projects to go there and lose their branding.

- Gamify and make "development" addictive.

- Use social cliques who hype up each other's useless code and PRs and ban critics.

- Make kLOC and plagiarism great again!

This all happened before "AI". "AI" is the last logical step that will finally destroy open source, as planned by Microsoft.
