Tens of thousands of us depend on WP directly for our livelihood, and millions more depend on it for their businesses and connections with the world. We all need confidence in the stability of WP or an alternative to use and recommend it. WP was right to sanction WPE. It's spilling over to all of us now though.
Every README should explain what the software actually is. "an open source version of the Campsite app" tells me absolute nothing — what IS the Campsite app? I would have submitted a PR with a fix, but the README also states they wouldn't accept such a PR anyway.
> Plants the world over are absorbing about 31% more carbon dioxide than previously thought, according to a new assessment developed by scientists.

So that means our supposed CO2 problem is 31% smaller than we previously thought?
Drone flight is speech. If we're going all in on the 'tech companies must allow all speech' then this is what you need and get.
I haven't heard of it either, but can only assume that it requires that data regarding dairy and meat MUST be processed on separate machines.

I get it, but this is just such a cynical take…devoting time & energy during your ramp up to identifying enemies seems to set the wrong tone from day 1. People will take notice no matter how hard you try to conceal it, and that will follow you around. First impressions matter, for you and those around you.

I suggest the opposite: assume good intent from everyone, listen a lot, don’t be afraid to ask dumb questions, identify people who can help your team and identify people who need your help. In leadership, the job is not about you, it’s about setting up your team for success.
Amazing. You've found a way to devalue the labor of both the artist AND the sound engineer in one go. At least you're consistent in not wanting to pay people for their work!
While I appreciate the sentiment of not glorifying any one demographic, It’s hard for me to take your comment(s) in this thread seriously.

As a Sikh, I was raised with the Gurus’ teachings that all paths in life are unique and equal, given the person is genuinely trying to make a positive impact on the world, and that good deeds should be recognized and emulated.

I agree with you that Sikh politics in Punjab are often very performative and a hindrance to the progression of the state, but the rest of your comments (like equating langar to prasad in what almost seems like an attempt to erase the uniqueness of Sikhi) comes across as slightly offensive, not to mention inaccurate.

At the end of a Sikh ardas (prayer), we pray for “sarbat di bhala”, or the well-being of everyone. To me, this is also a reminder that at the end of the day, we are all the same on some fundamental human level that transcends religious belief and difference, and as a result, I like to find positives in communities and try to apply them to my own life, so I ultimately disagree with the suggestion not to appreciate the positives of one culture/religion because it may “disparage” another that doesn’t have those same practices.

> think ordinary people want to express themselves and generative AI is a promising technology to help with that.

Ordinary people aren't training AI, and building bots to rip training datap from ever nook and cranny of the net. The people who are are specifically targeting not areas that everyone can agree there is utility in aspirationally automating away (laundry, low skill drudgery), but the very jobs that yield the biggest drain in the conventional "money vacuum" that is the modern business.

Abandon the naivete. Listen to what they do, not what they say.
What a novel revelation. Tell me then, what percentage of the Sikh population are white women? 40%?

I think it's a nontrivial problem for automakers, and then it squares for Tesla.
This reads like one of those cases where simply buying a new laptop will be the easiest solution.
I'm a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) engineer. Like others have said, I'm pretty confident basic CFD algorithms are in the training data of many LLMs. I would say a bigger problem is the accuracy of the generated simulator. A LLM would not be able to generate good tests. You need both tests for the math ("verification") and tests for the physics ("validation"), and LLMs can't do either at the moment.

Gold-standard verification tests are constructed using the "method of manufactured solutions" (MMS), which can be largely automated with computer algebra software, but are still quite tedious. I know from experience. I don't believe LLMs can handle the algebraic manipulation here particularly well.

Worse, LLMs won't be able to produce actual experimental data to do the validation test with. You'll need to track down one or more experiments from the literature or do your own experiment. LLMs might in the future be able to point you to appropriate experiments in the literature, but they don't seem able to do that at present. I think LLMs might provide useful advice when a simulation ends up not matching the experimental data. LLMs seem to know a thing or two about turbulence modeling, though I would question their knowledge of the most recent advances.

(If you're only interested in fluid simulation for games or computer graphics then physical accuracy is not a priority. But you probably should still use MMS to make sure you've implemented the math correctly. MMS is an interesting technique that has no parallel in software testing in general. Abstractly, the idea is to make a minimal modification to the software so that you have an oracle, and the nature of the modification is such that the modified software passing the test implies that the unmodified software would also pass the test. This idea probably can be applied in other areas.)
Depends on what you are used to. Since FF is my main, I try to use it for my pet projects. However, I always start a Chrome instance after several minutes because of two extremely jarring behaviors:

1. "Pause breakpoints" gets unchecked after app rebuilds and/or restarts.

2. The Ctrl+P hotkey only works on the sources tab, unlike Chrome. I just can't bear to always keep in mind what tab I'm on when using a hotkey.
As a Swede living abroad this creates a headache when going back. When combined with swish needs a phone number but to get a phone number you need to have a registered address, etc.

You either deal with mass immigration or address your population decline—there’s no way around it. Historically, Nordic countries haven’t had much experience with immigration, and Sweden’s poorly managed policies make that painfully clear.

For immigration to succeed, you need a universal language like English, a thriving industry, and abundant opportunities to attract the cream of the crop. Essentially, you have to compete with countries like the US, Canada, and Australia—all of which offer better conditions for immigrants compared to majority of the places in Europe. Also, I don't know anyone that can get a job in the SV is excited to learn German and move there; let alone in the Nordics.

While these nations draw in the best and brightest, the EU ends up handling the leftovers: refugees and others in desperate situations. Then they complain about how immigrants have ruined their economy. Like, hello—you took in the most disadvantaged en masse; what exactly did you expect?
I started using Firefox when it was first released and have never used anything else since except to download Firefox.
If you’re using the Dock in the first place, which you really shouldn’t because it’s a waste of screen space, and Exposé, Spotlight, and a decent Cmd+Tab replacement makes for a more better app/window management paradigm.
Can't remember the last time I paid cash, or saw anyone else using cash, not even at markets and things. Sweden really is cashless these days. And it works incredibly well.

The old people I know all manage to use cards just fine. Most have Swish too.

The 'unbanked' mentioned in the article are rare, but perhaps the solution is not to bring back cash but rather offer limited banking to the currently unbanked?
A lot of the books in the list have but one single vote.

I don't think that's very useful. Anyway, Ive heard good things of Hail Mary so I'll be checking that one out (it's 2nd on the list).

I know they say don't judge a book by its cover but I didn't like the cover of the book that's rated number one... I'll still check it out I guess.
Note that this is a bit of a straw man argument because the person you replied to didn't say "only" doing nice things makes you a good person. These are also ways to be a good person. The other is being a farmer, but only if you treat your staff and land and/or animals with respect and longevity in mind instead of capitalist exploitative min/maxing.

"Do no evil" is a good adage to live by, instead of "be a good person". In a lot of cases, doing nothing is the way to be a good person.
Oh I know, I have to use both at work. God forbid you mis-click in Jira.

Navigating around takes so much time, it should probably have its own timesheet code.
Security often means the opposite of scalability and growth, so why should they? The business goal is to make sure Cursor grows large enough that they have economics of scale to be a viable business.

If you want secure LLM you can use Mistral, which comes with all the EU limitations, good and bad.
>Matt himself has claimed that Automattic and WPEngine have similar revenue levels.

Maybe for WordPress VIP or something but Automattic is at $700m while WP Engine is at $400m.
But does it help worrying about where we're putting logs while we're burning fossil fuels? We need to plant enough trees to offset all the trees we're burning, but also all the gasoline, oil, and natural gas we're burning as well as all the concrete we're producing. The math seems like it'll never balance.
Here's an off-the-cuff summary:

First you have to make space in your life for it. You need long blocks of time for deep work.

The first idea you pick is unlikely to work, so pick something and start moving. Many of the best products come out of working on something else.

When building, optimize for speed. Try to get something out in the world as quickly as possible and iterate from there.

Pick a tech stack you're familiar with, that you'll be fastest in.

Try to spend half your time on marketing/sales, even if you hate it.

The most important skill you can have is resiliance. Not giving up is the best path to success. This is hard because there is so much uncertainty in this career path.

It's worth it! The autonomy and freedom are unmatched by any other career.

you don't have to manage access to Actions that way.

on GHES you can use https://github.com/actions/actions-sync/ to pull the actions you want down to your local GHES instance, turn off the ability to automatically use actions from github.com via GitHub Connect, and use the list of actions you sync locally as your whitelist.

My employer did this for years. It worked very well. Once a day, pull each action that we had whitelisted into GHES and the runners would use those instead of the actions on github.com.
I live in Norway, and can't really remember the last time I paid anything with cash. I do have relatives in rural areas, and the only real problem they've encountered has been due to KYC policies, where they'd have to drive 100 km to the nearest bank to show ID.

From time to time I see some people campaigning on social media to get back ATMs and similar (yes, there are towns here that don't even have ATMs anymore - they're just terribly expensive to operate, when less than 5% or so of the population withdraw cash...you can withdraw and deposit cash at super markets), but honestly the arguments tend to be somewhat flimsy.

It's usually some constructed scenario like "If I want to withdraw money in the middle of the night, on a Sunday, I can't do that!" or "I went to the [local supermarket] and tried to withdraw [tens of thousands of NOK] and they didn't have enough!"

Every single news article I've seen on people being "unbanked" has boiled down to those people refusing to sign some KYC agreement, or refusing to show up at the bank.
If this is the thing YEARS ago, they backtracked and they still work via the S1 app.
However, those that say / claim / behave like they are good people can be called out for hypocrisy, e.g. some people of the clergy, politicians, celebrities etc.
Private housing (mainly condominiums) has always been expensive and has touched new highs in recent times, making it out-of-reach for most.

Public housing prices have gone up a lot (70-100% increase in last 5 years) but it is heavily subsidized for citizens who can buy directly from the Housing Development Board (HDB). Permanent residents cannot buy from HDB so they have to buy from the resale market where prices are sky high so they are bearing the brunt of it.
Its great being able to halt a whole country's economy by just attacking either the power network or the payment network. Its a huge hassle when it happens due to incompetence, so imagine how bad it will be if its caused by a bad (state) actor. That alone is reason enough to never drop cash.
Unfortunately, I have had to move in the opposite direction. I have been a Firefox user for more than a decade but after an upgrade to Linux Mint 22 I have had very regular crashes on Firefox which took the entire computer down and so now I am on Brave which seems to be so much faster.
You know parent made a good point when comments come in attacking points parent didn't even mention or brought up.
To counterpoint this, I'm an happy nixos desktop user. It's not perfect, but still vastly better than a non declarative distro for my taste.
I am 45 now. Sad that most probably this is going to be the reality of the future.Its gonna be some robot with an AI, talking like ChatGPT, which means nothing it says that will take care of me in my old age.

I'm glad we have different options available. I personally use Chrome, but it's good that Firefox exists too.
btw the hardcover its this price
Firefox still crashes for me. Multiple computers and laptops, PC’s and Macs - it always crashes. I test it every few years and the crashes still occur. It makes it an unusable browser. Instead I use Brave.
Has anyone had a good experience with bluesound? Sends like they offer a similar product but with less big-corporate headache. Haven’t tried them myself, though.

* any device you have admin rights to install software on, they are talking about being able to log in from any computer, not just their own

It surprises and annoys me that obsidian, logseq, etc don't have self hosted web front ends available. I think logseq will once they wrap up the db fork, and maybe someday we'll have nuclear fusion powerplants too.
When do you need to pay with Swish and can't instead use a normal credit/debit card?
Of all the ways to critique Brave, consider Mozilla's exploration of "other funding options" has recently been digital advertising. They purchased two advertising companies - Anonym[0] and FakeSpot - and have integrated FakeSpot directly into Firefox. Mozilla has an ad sales division [1]. Mozilla even added extra telemetry just for advertisers[2].

Yaeh it's a pretty huge caveat to be honest.

Da1 Db1 Dc1 Pa1 Pb1
Da2 Db2 Dc2 Pa2 Pb2
Da3 Db3 Dc3 Pa3 Pb3
___ ___ ___ Pa4 Pb4

___ represents free space. After expansion by one disk you would logically expect something like:

Da1 Db1 Dc1 Da2 Pa1 Pb1
Db2 Dc2 Da3 Db3 Pa2 Pb2
Dc3 ___ ___ ___ Pa3 Pb3
___ ___ ___ ___ Pa4 Pb4

But as I understand it it would actually expand to:

Da1 Db1 Dc1 Dd1 Pa1 Pb1
Da2 Db2 Dc2 Dd2 Pa2 Pb2
Da3 Db3 Dc3 Dd3 Pa3 Pb3
___ ___ ___ ___ Pa4 Pb4

Where the Dd1-3 blocks are just wasted. Meaning by adding a new disk to the array you're only expanding free storage by 25%... So say you have 8TB disks for a total of 24TB of storage free originally, and you have 4TB free before expansion, you would have 5TB free after expansion.

Please tell me I've misunderstood this, because to me it is a pretty useless implementation if I haven't.
If it has been underestimated then that means climate models have been using the bad, underestimated data, so they need to be updated and run to see where we are at, corrrect?

That is not at all the sentiment GP is expressing.

Say you have a terminal disease. Doctors evaluated the progression of your illness and estimated you have three years to live. Of course, when you begin treatment changes your life expectancy: start now and you may get twenty more years; start in two years and you’ll only get an extra four.

Your insurance company says “doctors are all quacks, you’re not ill, they’re just in it for the money” and don’t pay you anything. They know that’s a lie and that after you die there is a high probability your family will sue them out of existence, but the people currently in charge hope that will be far enough in the future they won’t have to personally worry about it. In the meantime they will enjoy the money they don’t pay you.

As the months go by, you visibly deteriorate. It’s obvious you are sick. Your insurance maybe pays for some token cheap medicine to make you more comfortable and get themselves more leeway. Maybe that buys you an extra four months. They’ll be horrible but you will be alive and so your family can’t sue. They continue to be off the hook but it’s getting harder to escape the reality.

Then a new doctor comes along and says “actually we overestimated the progression of your illness, you should’ve been given five years initially”. What do you think happens then? Obviously the insurance company will use that as an argument to further delay your treatment and double down on the rhetoric that all doctors are quacks. The damage is still happening but the urgent action needed to stave it off is once again delayed into the future.

That is what GP is complaining about. It’s obviously good news that you’re not so close to death as you thought, but that knowledge may end up hurting you in the long run.
Yes, American spyware is best.
Except they reversed course after the outrage, and people are happily still using those speakers, albeit with the S1 app.

I have been using mozilla for _years_ it got shit, then better, then shit, and now its close enough.

The thing I _Love_ is container tabs. I can isolate empires by using container tabs to sandbox cookies and other web state. This means that ebay doesn't change my adverts to the last thing I searched on every site, and autoplay embedded youtube doesn't fuck up my video recommendations.

It means I can hide my work gmail from my home, and separate search histories (although thats less relevant now with AI.)

lastly, being able to scroll left and right on my tabs, rather than new ones being unaccesable is great.
Urbanization is like heroin for economics. Governments become addicted to it and the explosion in the GDP, trade and all other traditional indicators of economic health and power.

Demographic health is something that needs a long term investment, certainly much longer than capitalism can tolerate. 18 to 25 years?

It's to the point now that without immigration, countries are committing demographic suicide even in western "happy" counties, unlike "sad" totalitarian countries where urbanization is combined with reproductive rebellion.
>that being looking past the status quo and instead looking at your own values, i.e. the morality of homelessness and not having a disdain for them but empathy for them instead.

If you're going to be reductive with someone's argument, at least use the entire argument.

I'm surprised this article doesn't mention the elephant in the room. With Musk's influence over the Trump administration it seems overwhelmingly likely that Tesla will achieve Full Self Driving by changing the regulatory framework to allow whatever Tesla currently has to be called (and used as) self-driving. It's that simple. Will your Tesla suddenly become an autonomous vehicle? Well obviously not you cant just change the regulations and hope reality accomodates you.

So what we'll probably end up with is real self driving Waymos all over the place and fake self-driving Teslas that 'self-drive' as long as you're still really driving.

The only real concern I have is whether Musk exploits his position to impact the regulations to push both Waymo and Tesla into a bucket called "self-driving" where they get categorized the same and both still require drivers, essentially using the regulations to knee cap any rival that is ahead of Tesla.

The other side of it is that I think we'd all be very happy if Musk went back to just lying about his electric vehicles.
