Come to think of it, chat may make things even worse.

What I wrote earlier, about business seeing the interface as a platform for milking users, applies just as much to human interface. After all, "do you want fries with that?" didn't originate with the Kiosks, but with human cashiers. Human stuff is, too, being programmed by corporate to upsell you shit. They have explicit instructions for it, and regular compliance checks by "mystery shoppers".

Now, the upsell capabilities of human cashier interface are limited by training, compliance and controls, all of which are both expensive and unreliable processes; additionally, customers are able to skip some of the upsells by refusing the offer quickly and angrily enough - trying to force cashiers to upsell anyway breaks too many social and cultural expectations to be feasible. Meanwhile, programming a Kiosk is free on the margin - you get zero-time training (and retraining) and 100% compliance, and the customer has no control. You can say "stop asking me about fries" to a Kiosk all day, and it won't stop.

It's highly likely a voice chat interface will combine the worst of the characteristics above. It's still software like Kiosk, just programmed by prompts, so still free on the margin, compliant, and retrainable on the spot. At the same time, the voice/conversational aspect makes us perceive the system more like a person, making us more susceptible to upsells, while at the same time, denying us agency and control, because it's still a computer and can easily be made to keep asking you about fries, with no way for you to make it shut up.

You're not alone. In my experience the senior executive are enamoured by the possibility of halving headcount. The engineers reporting honestly about the limitations of connecting it to core systems (or using it to generate complex code running on core systems) are at risk of being perceived as blocking progress. So everyone keeps quiet, tries to find a quick and safe use case for the tech to present to management, and make sure that they aren't involved in any project that will be the big one to fail spectacularly and bring it all crashing down.

Sure! It should have been linked on the site, that’s totally my oversight.

The code isn’t anything to write home about, it’s in C++ leveraging OpenFrameworks and OpenGL. I’m an iOS and macOS dev, but after the initial release I’ll get started on porting to Windows and Linux. OF generally works well multi-platform so I’m hoping it won’t be too hairy.

I’m specifically targeting the non-technical artist/creator market, ideally with optional macOS App Store distribution. I’ve been involved in the live visuals scene in NYC a bit and something I commonly heard was that musicians and DJs wanted visual accompaniment which just works out of the box. TouchDesigner etc are incredibly powerful, but generally out of reach for non technical folks.

I’ve contracted a great artist from UpWork who’s been making presets which will be included. There should ideally be as little friction as possible for a user to go from first launch to live, audio-reactive visuals.

Thanks for checking it out! :)
Yes, but the checksum is in the same bitstream, so it is swapped together with the data.
I mean that scientific theories nowadays are supposed to make testable predictions, and when those predictions consistently fail, you have to say "okay, this theory is not correct". If your theory is capable of "explaining" every possible piece of evidence, it's not a scientific theory. (Some people would go further than Karl Popper, saying that it's not even meaningful.)

I'm pretty sure this is in The Open Society and Its Enemies, but I can't remember. I do know that it's in this webcomic: https://existentialcomics.com/comic/285
> you don't get your own state by having the world, or Israel, or the US, or Iran "grant" it to you.

They are 100% dependent on Israel granting them their state. Take electricity for example. Before the current fighting, Gaza was on a rolling blackout schedule where each region only has electricity for a few hours each day. They have one diesel power plant (Israel enforces that all diesel is bought through Israel; it completely controls the supply), and the vast majority of the rest of their electricity needs were met by Israeli power lines (they also bought a little bit from Egypt).

Whatever economic activity they develop that is dependent on electricity (that is, nearly every modern economic activity) must be "granted" to them. Israel can (and has, and currently does) cut off electricity supply to Gaza at will, as a negotiating tactic or as punishment.
Bloomsbury is one of the few "big publishers" that let you legally buy English-language DRM-free e-books, I whole-heartedly recommend buying from them instead of contributing to lord bezo's dystopian future.

There's another list at https://libreture.com/bookshops/ but it's a bit of a bother to look into all of them; if there's an English-language fiction book I want I tend to just check Bloomsbury (or a quick web search) and if it's not there I give up on finding a legal e-book. There's a niche here for a search engine for bookshops offering DRM-free e-books (ping marginalia_nu ). It's not that hard to set up a shop offering a DRM-free e-book, but it is hard marketing it and making it easy for people to find that book.
Maybe related, but I've also got a tailscale instance running for the same use case (on an older it box but...) I've also installed open-webui attached to ollama.

I doubt everyone who ordered a phone got one, and a years-long delay is not acceptable if they put a ship date on their website of only a few months in the future. I found accounts of people who were told that the phone would ship imminently who were forced to wait 5 years and still didn't have the damn phone, and couldn't get a refund.

Here's someone posting one month ago about their horrible experience: https://old.reddit.com/r/Purism/comments/1he60ub/purism_refu...

Here's another thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/Purism/comments/1dkr086/is_purism_a... Several comments suggest reporting them to the FTC (a move I made myself!).

Another one 10 months ago, someone not getting responses from them anymore: https://old.reddit.com/r/Purism/comments/1be3r74/still_silen...

I'm telling you it's a scam from first-hand experience. You can buy a Linux PinePhone for about $200, and that was available within a year of announcement and within a month of ordering, and it was announced after the $700 non-US Librem 5. I got one while waiting for the Librem 5. Now I know you're gonna say "But Purism has custom hardware, it's not the same..." But the fact is that they misled everyone and probably mismanaged their money. A "preorder" is not the same as an "investment" or "donation" and comes with concrete obligations. They lied over and over and I documented it all for my bank, to get the refund that Purism denied me. They literally told me I had to wait for my number to come up in line. If I trusted them to ever ship the phone, I might as well take the damn phone at that point.

So sorry, you don't know what you're talking about. I don't take calling something a scam lightly, and I believe that the way Purism operated (if not the way they still operate) meets the definition.
Yes, I think if they sold that it would have happened by now and you'd have heard about it. Law of big news applies. Also a quick Google would tell you Ford tried to patent this in 2023 and people were outraged over the idea so they dropped it. So I doubt some other car company is doing it and secretly getting away with it.

What's the difference between a TV with built in shit smarts and a plugged in firestick, and a TV with no built in smarts and a plugged in firestick?

In the former you get subsidized hardware so the TV is cheaper, in the latter you don't so the hardware is much more expensive.

My TV got a Chromecast on day one out of the box. I have never used it's smart settings, it's never been connected to any network, and it never will be connected to any network. It's remote is in a box or drawer somewhere, never used. I use the Chromecast's little cute remote as it has all the functions I need.

As long as a TV has an HDMI connection, and I can connect my external media box, I will never ever ever use the onboard smarts, but I will definitely continue using the subsidized hardware.
I agree with the wave of criticisms surrounding PINNs.

As a researcher currently working on a project involving PINNs for cardiac biomedical applications, in my field industry players generally steer clear of PINNs.
The core issue lies in the approach of approximating physical laws through a loss function.

Basically: instead of leveraging mathematically robust solvers, PINNs attempt to encode the underlying physics (e.g., conservation laws) as constraints within the loss function of a NN.
Clearly this is a problem for systems requiring high fidelity in physical accuracy...
I wonder if one solution would be have tighter integration between the layers, so the backend could ask for some IR to be generated? Basically starting from the program entrypoints. This way the frontend wouldn't need to generate all the possible code up-front.

In fact, DPRK anticipated that Yoon Suk-yeol might attempt to ignite conflict on the peninsula to justify imposing martial law. Therefore, DPRK preemptively severed the roads between the two countries to prevent this from happening.

We seem to have no mechanisms to "rethink."

Market dynamics + personal ambitions are driving change.

At the same time, we have no means of popular revolution. Drones are automating war, and LLMs can monitor literally all conversations. Bottom-up revolution is futile. To the contrary, it's likely whomever produces the best drones could pull of a corporate revolution.

Market dynamics here centralize power and lead to a natural monopoly. That's perhaps better than competition, since competition pushes for moving fast, which means safety goes by the wayside.

Carpenters and plumbers will be obsoleted by robots too. Robot AI is maybe 5-10 years behind LLMs.

OpenAI was supposed to be the driving force behind fixing this, but it sold out, and is now building Skynet instead of preventing it.
maybe If there was a function to disable android running in the background from the tv ( which is the default), the menus and other primary functions would run better, maybe it's possible.. but do really I have to hack the tv ? how many will do that ?

and as I've said, I'm not even confident in performing a firmware reset at this point given that I would probably get only the version released with the tv without any successive update ( anyway not a solution for everyone )

Some of those are continuous and differentiable everywhere. Examples:

f(x) = ½ x²

Also: doesn’t the claim that you can pick such a function require an extreme version of the axiom of choice, where you claim you can pick an element of each set in a set of sets that has uncountably many items?
I agree, committees are good at saying no. They tend to say no to two not perfect ideas and then force a consensus containing most often the worst aspects of both original approaches. The good news is that the result is so bloated that can‘t be changed and so provides a stable foundation for years of misery.

There are counter examples of course but the power dynamic of committees is not conductive to results that have properties desirable in software.
I'm also European and I cannot agree more with you.

This, combined with the fact that dictators and authoritarian leaders like Orbán and Fico, are not being sanctioned to hell. EU let Orbán turn Hungary into an autocracy since 2012, and even with all the human rights violations, spying on EU officials with Pegasus spyware, allowing Chinese and Russian spies in EU soil, the EU still cannot proceed towards blocking their voting power because the stupid bureaucrats think they can get Fico and Orbán to change their mind.

We need people with the same make-do mentality as these two in the EU, but that actually defend EU principles. So they can say like "oh, you're violating the EU charter here, we've warned you several times and you're not complying. Okay. from now on all those 22 billion you would receive are not going to you anymore. You lost that money."

Take off the EU funds and these countries will very quickly fix the issues the EU pointed out. They don't help the EU with any money and probably will be like that for the next decades.

Imagine how disruptive Chat Control would be in the hands of the autocrats...

This isn't a Debian problem though, that's the point: if bcachefs-tools has such specific dependencies, then why doesn't it vendor it's own dependencies so it's clear they are packaged and used independently?

A bunch of the packages in the release at hand were actually upgraded, not downgraded, for example.
This also applies to any package manager repository you might be using.

I am not in the field, but I am trying to branch out a little so it helps to talk with someone who is.

LLMs probably help the same way they help with other stuff. They lower the barrier of entry for newcomers ( good and bad at the same time ).

That said, what are the current hard problems? I don't want to derail the thread, but this is of personal interest.
With or without the bug it's a horid prompt. Prompts work best when they resemble content LLMs have in their training data. People use first and second far more often then LHS and RHS when talking about options. First or second, 1 or 2, a or b or neither.

LLMs are narrative machines. They make up stories which often make sense.

Sounds like a wrong tire problem, not an AWD problem to me.

My parents also had a 2014 Forrestor. They parked it next to my shed when they went on a cruise one winter, and it crawled itself out of a 2 foot snowbank without shovelling it when they got back. That thing was a tank in snow and I definitely abused it when I had the chance.

For the 'tire spinning in the air', sounds like the other tires must have been spinning too so there wasn't anywhere to transfer the power to, but I'm only guessing.

> It's a naturally vendor neutral tech so migrating should be trivial.

So are the OCI standards that grew out of Docker and now are mostly used separate from (official) Docker.

Is there even a vendor neutral VM image format?
If you don't like it, then why don't you use a different provider?

If you want free stuff, is your strategy to smear them into giving you more free stuff?

Storage, compute, and traffic, isn't free. You've been the beneficiary of charity for years.

Yes, the open source community has relied on this implicit charity as a parasite, by exploiting whatever free services they could.
And now we're paying the price, as you say, by having DockerHub as the default provider.

My suggestion is therefore that we need independent solutions, that are fully funded as a charity, and stop relying on freemium services from corporations that fundamentally don't care about the public good.
Or run no registry. Here's a port from a Dockerfile to just a vm:

FROM Debian

CMD apt-get install thing

CMD curl blabla/install.sh

Pretty much converts to:

aws-cli ec2 launch-instance

ssh user@server apt-get install thing

ssh user@server curl blabla/install.sh

In general, everytime you dispense of a high level abstraction, the solution is not to replicate the high level abstraction, but to build directly at a lower level abstraction.

Thanks for sharing this! For Visual Studio, I always think of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCllU4YkxBk that pretty much just leaves the JetBrains IDEs, which are obviously well loved. I've never had a good first impression with them, so I haven't bothered to get deeper into them, but I also don't have the experience to form a fair opinion (although when I read about what folks like about JetBrains, it doesn't resonate with me, usually it's about refactoring tools, which I don't care about).
I don't think this is very helpful when it comes to the issue in question.
