I’m not, for what it’s worth. I’m arguing that I think the free speech case is stronger for the users and software distributors who are enjoined from the platform or distributing certain software applications than it is for the platform whose ownership but not content or speech is being directly regulated. (The law doesn’t fine TikTok it fines the people providing services to TikTok. Their speech rights may be more relevant in this case.)

I also see why people are interpreting my comment to mean that because it’s a restriction on my speech it’s not constitutional because that’s how people usually act on the Internet. But I don’t and didn’t. What I said was it was a restriction on my speech and I believe that’s more of interesting case than the restriction on TikTok’s speech. The ramification of that is that the courts would adjudicate the free speech restriction at an appropriate scrutiny level and determine whether that restriction is allowable. As we all know, some restrictions are allowable and constitutional. Others aren’t.

It’s not unreasonable, wild, or strange to point out that there’s a restriction on speech here, and to point out that conflict needed to be resolved to determine constitutionality.

Most are handled at the district level, if the court felt there was no legal issue at play, they would have denied cert. Their opinion did end up being per curiam which suggests the court feels clearly about the case, but does not suggest they never felt there was an issue worth arguing.
This is like saying that closing all churches of a religion is not a big deal as the people can perfectly pray by themselves. (Also since they can pray in their head why not making that religion's prayers illegal to speak aloud)
The questions are designed so that such training data is extremely limited. Tao said it was around half a dozen papers at most, sometimes. That’s not really enough to overfit on without causing other problems.
Yeah. Though I get that it would defeat the purpose of the article, as running it on a Pi as a novelty is the whole point, and if you need to add DDoS protection you'd might as well just throw it on Cloudflare Pages instead.
You mean it can't be a link platform.

Maybe thats a good thing. It forces content to be posted to X directly instead of click baiting you into ad infested, paywalled, dark pattern websites.

The only losers here are legacy media.

Well, it would be the same as the distinction between real and imaginary in any other context.

/bin/ed did in fact evolve on very slow teletypes that used roll paper.

It made the option to print file content with line numbers very useful (personally only used very dumb terminals instead of physical teletype, but experience is a bit similar just with shorter scrollback :D)
To be clear, they probably did have the legal power to quarantine the whole country, but after a week or so there might have been an armed revolt.

That's not what the law says. What gave you that impression?
I just left Amazon because of RTO. Have worked out of various offices across EU and NA, including Toronto… and Toronto was by far the worst. Partly because Amazon does not own the entire building, and partly because of issues such as space constraints.

Also as a fun side note, when they gave assigned desks for RTO5, they were assigned by last name. Not by team, but by name, so everyone ended up separated from their actual team… great for collaboration lol.
There is one called rssbridge or something that can do that
People need to understand that politicians (dare I say everywhere?..) are just business man with dressing. They simply put up a show for people to win the votes and once they get elected, do whatever they can to make an extra buck. Trump, a convicted felon is certainly no different..

I like Apple Notes because it has some nice features, and the best part is that Spotlight can search for text inside any note, even in attachments, which makes finding things super easy.

The main reason I use Bear is for its markdown support. I write a lot of technical docs for $dayjob and side projects, so it’s a must-have for me.

If Apple Notes ever adds Markdown support (or at least proper code snippets), then bye bye to Bear.
They have five comments ever. What makes you think they use rust?
you're right, my statement is an extreme oversimplification and there are situations where the constitution does apply to noncitizens (like due process during deportation) or places where things are unclear (if speech of foreign nationals were being regulated). But this case where we are talking about a foreign media platform's right to operate in the US without any reference to the content they are broadcasting... this seems to be one of those rare clear cut cases. I mean no one saw any issue with America effectively banning RT.

There were some people on here saying that national security is just a pretense and the government is actually doing this because they dislike some of the content being posted on TikTok. I don't know if that's the case but if it were then I would concede there is a first amendment issue. But absent that I think it's safe to say that this case doesn't raise the first amendment.
I always thought it would be cool to have a PC that you just turn on and in 200 milliseconds, you're at a Python REPL or something. Like the old Commodore 64 that booted you right to BASIC from ROM. No POST, no beep, no detecting this and initializing that. No fucking splash screen. Just power switch on and BAM, you're at the prompt.

According to a Google search, a typical C64 was on in 3 seconds. Maybe I've got rose colored glasses about how long it took, because my recollection was that it was basically instant.

Hell, my monitor can't even turn on in 3 seconds. You hit the power button and it gets busy doing... something... who knows what... not turning on, that's for sure.
I ended up working for european part of rather big US database company that similarly started pushing RTO.

The RTO mandates were fully delivered from US HQ and from the very top, while middle management tried very hard to preserve remote work, especially as many people were hired from quite far away from office... and no, the salaries were nowhere close to justify people moving.
>> If every program has a finite model, the language cannot be Turing complete: the reverse is not necessarily true but in practice the reverse is usually true.

What is the reverse here? Sorry it's late and I can't calculate it.

Btw, what I know about ASP is that it is incomplete (in the sense of soundness and completeness). Turing completeness is a separate question.
Enjoy your CCP dripfeed while it lasts. This crap is going byebye.
"with a Yubikey" is probably a better title. The yubikey thingy costs more than the PI (and there is a helpful link if you want to buy one).

Very little of this has to do with a PI, it seems like almost any kind of home server would work (especially linux). And it is unclear to me what value is added by the yubikey? And would any FIDO device work, or is this yubikey brand only?
Microdot is an awesome web framework, so, why choose MicroPie for simplicity? No need to learn decorators or request parsing manually. Everything is handled inside the class, making code organized and readable. Quick prototyping with minimal boilerplate code. Straightforward Routing: Just define methods in your class, and they automatically map to routes.
Built-in Session Management: No need to manually manage cookies; sessions are handled internally. Jinja2 Templating Support: Makes it easier to work with dynamic HTML without manually constructing responses.
I used to host Miniflux using my leftover Heroku student credits. But about 1 month ago I started to respect the work that writers put into their website design, so I have no use for the inbuilt reader anymore. Made the switch to https://scour.ing/, it's a feed crawler in my opinion, pretty much under development but good enough for my simple use case.

'Budget' was relative. £900 is almost exactly £3,000 in modern money, and the DX7 was equivalent to £4300.

80s synth enthusiasts were often young and not particularly rich, so a cut down version wasn't an entirely insane idea. And if it hadn't been cut down enough it would have cannibalised sales of the more expensive synth.

Ironically the opposite happened - many people looked at the DX9, thought "No..." and pushed themselves to their limits financially to get the DX7.

I doubt this was deliberate, but it probably wasn't a net loss for Yamaha.

It's maybe more accurate to think of it as the prototype for the much cheaper budget 4-ops that Yamaha flooded the market with, after the DX7-tier was saturated.

2020-22 still seemed like I was still in the ignorance is bliss phase, but then middle of last year it really hit me, and hit me hard, how alone I was. Lost a lot of joy in life and can't enjoy the thing I used to. I have a hard time focusing on things and can barely read a page of a book without my mind wandering. I'm making an attempt to steer the ship in the right direction now, but it's so hard. A lot of people I knew, used to talk regularly to, have moved on and there's no reconnecting with them now (I tried). Everything is so different...maybe it always was and I just never really cared to look and realize, I was "happy" in being alone and ignorant of the social aspects of the world. What a sad time we live in.

So what you are forgetting is top performers get taken care of financially. And they also have special deals where RTO is not enforced. It is much easier to have a blanket RTO with incentived attrition and allowing X% exceptions in secret (X is very small). Leadership (yep not management) knows and wants attrition. This is easier than paying severance etc.
You're the one who has this wrong, and now you're being rude about it.

The enforcement of the law is not at the president's discretion. That would make Congress powerless. Congress is not powerless.
That's a policy decision by the Chinese government. They still have the authority, but the Streisand effect makes blunt censorship counterproductive in an open society. For example, TikTok took down the viral "Uighur makeup tutorial" but quickly reinstated it after the backlash. That backlash couldn't occur in China, but it can in the USA for as long as uncensored outlets exist.

Subtler manipulation still works great, and the opacity of algorithmic content recommendation makes that an ideal instrument. Nobody outside ByteDance knows to what extent the CCP is putting its thumb on that scale already, but they certainly have the power to.
I just browsed through. Content looks concise to me. Might want to add syntax highlighting to the code to make it more visible.
I'd say arguments like yours are why people don't vote.
Links are incredibly useful. Leaving aside the dubious benefit of the idea that we want everything to "be inside the same app" (an idea that is essentially 'platform lock-in rephrased as a feature'), a huge amount of useful content is already on web pages with URLs. The ability to share those resources quickly is essential. There's zero benefit to forcing users into copying and pasting existing text into a medium with extreme formatting limitations and no ability to handle dynamic content or inline images. And there is negative benefit from moving content from the open web to a site that requires a login.
Nice article.

Ofcourse you are not required. You also free to retire as a hermite in a remote island.

There's something gross about OpenAI constantly misleading the public.

In their benchmark, they have a tag "tuned" attached to their o3 result. I guess we need they to inform us of the exact meaning of it to gauge.
our brains adapt for "better" fast - faster feedback loops, crisper images, higher resolution, etc - and it's really hard to go back. I'd imagine it's something around the reward system of the brain. I grew up with Z80s and CRT monitors, and my brain remembers Enduro as a vivid and fast game. Reality is completely different when you try it out for a second, after having lived in an era of iPhones and 8k displays. It's crazy how uncomfortable even a device from 5 years ago feels...
Not yet, but maybe in the near future. We'll see! The ultimate check is too many people getting too pissed.
avoiding video calls is not why they did RTO so not sure how that's relevent. They are just sick of ppl walking their dogs, going to the "dentist" , doing laundry, taking a nap, cooking lunch, going to the post office, going to afternoon spin class and still logging off at 5pm. And these are not even half the things i do on weekly basis.
The 1st Amendment doesn't apply to Chinese companies operating in the US.
This article really resonated with me. Unfortunately I think things aren't going back. What the article doesn't appreciate--and we techies don't either--is just how much the scale of today's tech market absolutely dwarfs the scale of the tech market back in the days before the internet.

The market wanted growth. Early tech companies, like Microsoft, Apple, eBay, and then Google, went from zero to huge in a very short period of time. But companies like the FAANGs kept up the absurd levels of growth (20+% YoY growth in the case of Google) that Wall Street got hooked on, and it's been on a drug binge ever since. The result is that we have multiple trillion dollar companies that will...never not want to be a trillion dollar company.

The total amount of money in the PC market was miniscule compared to today, and the internet and its online retail plus ads bonanza even dwarfed that. The PC software market, the video games industry, everything--it was all so much smaller. As the internet swallowed the world, it brought billions of users. And those billions of users can only use so many devices and so many games and spreadsheets and stuff. They had to be made into cash cows in other ways.

The tech market just has to keep growing. It's stuck tripping forward and must generate revenue somehow to keep the monsters' stomachs fed (and their investors too). We will never be free of their psychotic obsession with monetization.

And advertising is soooo insidious. Everything looks like it's free. But it isn't. Because our eyeballs and our mindshare is for sale. And when they buy our eyeballs their making back those dollars of us--it's the whole point. So whether you like it or not, you're being programmed to spend money in other parts of your life that you wouldn't otherwise. It cannot move any direction but falling forward into more consumerism.

I'm afraid I'm a doomer in this regard. We're never going back to not being bothered to death by these assholes who want to make money off us 24/7.

The FSF funded some white papers a while ago on CoPilot: https://www.fsf.org/news/publication-of-the-fsf-funded-white.... Take a look at the analysis by two academics versed in law at https://www.fsf.org/licensing/copilot/copyright-implications... starting with §II.B that explains why it might be legal.

Bradley Kuhn also has a differing opinion in another whitepaper there (https://www.fsf.org/licensing/copilot/if-software-is-my-copi...) but then again he studied CS, not law. Nor has the FSF attempted AFAIK to file any suits even though they likely would have if it were an open and shut case.
I wouldn’t say Jira gets it right.

I find its subtasks a little half baked and I feel like portions of Jira weren’t designed with sub-tasks in mind. We actually avoid them completely at my current work.

It’s understandable why a lot of systems don’t support sub-tasks. Hierarchical data structures are not the easiest to deal with and come with a litany of edge cases. It can also be quite overwhelming UX wise.
Getting from that post to the GP's dramatic assessment of PG as a person would be a disappointing feat of pathfinding.
People on here were mocking me openly when I pointed out that you can't be sure LLMs (or any AIs) are actually smart unless you CAN PROVE that the question you're asking isn't in the training set (or adjacent like in this case).

So with this in mind now, let me repeat: Unless you know that the question AND/OR answer are not in the training set or adjacent, do not claim that the AI or similar black box is smart.

20 years, or 112 years?

Consider just how far the UK's place in the world fell between 1911 (George V ascended to the throne of the global superpower; his Royal Navy was launching 2 to 4 new capital ships per year) and 1948 (3 years after "winning" WWII - and basics such as food, clothing, and gasoline were still strictly rationed).

While the article has some great points...

1. They are doing a little bit of revisionist history, as the industry was fiercly capitalist and proprietary at that time.

2. This topic really does feel rather beaten to death and I think the target audience is not getting any new information.

Speaking specifically about the revisionist history part:

> At its core, the PC movement was about a kind of tech liberty—–which I’ll define as the freedom to explore new ideas, control your own creative works, and make mistakes without punishment.

Was it? The PC has its roots in IBM, and it became the target product to clone because, since the project was something of a sidenote to IBM's main business, IBM was too cheap/lazy/wahtever to develop proprietary parts. They cobbled together a system that was easy to clone, perhaps entirely by accident.

The PC wasn't a universal compatible open standard because of tech liberty, it was a compatible standard because (among other reasons) Microsoft introduced a new OS business model where PC clones fighting each other over low margins benefitted Microsoft. Before Microsoft DOS, each PC was its own moat with its own hardware, its own operating system, and its own proprietary software. Microsoft made everything easy and wonderful as long as you kept using Windows.

Apple operated back with the OS/hardware/software moat back then and that's essentially how they continue to operate. They are the only company that survived after that era using that fully proprietary business model and still operates that way.

As another commenter pointed out, Nintendo was ruthless about hardware DRM and was a full blown monopoly in their heyday. That's why your parents always call it "Nintendo" instead of "video games," because there was no other vendor anywhere near as successful at that time.

Another example of a lack of tech liberty, "Don't Copy that Floppy" was all over the place, a phrase that I've heard injected into Computer Chronicles episodes. Companies were doing all kinds of things to try and prevent you from inspecting, modifying, and copying their software.

The Linux kernel didn't exist until 1991, and most UNIX flavors were proprietary.

The only reason that era didn't have invasive privacy and data extraction problems is because it wasn't feasible, not because it was an era and movement that had excellent tech liberty.

Compare that to today, and it's actually today that's much more of an era of personal computing freedom. I certainly wasn't using an open source web browser, open source IDE, open source server operating system, open source graphics driver, open source PDF editor/viewer, or much other open source software in the 90's. It would have been unthinkable back then to use an open source program to do something like 3D graphics rendering, that would have been reserved for 5-figure Silicon Graphics workstations. And good luck replacing Adobe with something open source.

Hosting a major commercial website for a fortune 100 company on an open source operating system? You would be laughed out of town.
