RCS is a flaming trash dump of failure.
Then those same humans won't be able to reason about code, or the problem spaces they're working in, regardless, since it's all fundamentally about precise specifics.

They are dropping these pledges to avoid securities lawsuits. “Everything is securities fraud” and presumably if they have a stated corporate pledge to do something, and knowingly violate it, any drop in the stock price could use this as grounds.

I'm gonna presume "the new leadership of the FBI".
How much are you willing to bet on this? Will you be willing to pay into a fund to mitigate suffering caused by this nonsense?
The only reason I have WhatsApp is that a couple non-US friends use it from time to time. No one I know in the US does anything other than standard text messaging whether or not it ends up being iMessage.
Hologram used to have a free developer plan that gave you 1MB per month. I don't know if it still exists.

Doesn't sound like much, but it's a monstrous amount of data for a battery powered GNSS tracker.

I would like to know what you had to mute to make Musk's Twitter tolerable.
I think they're burying the lede here, they released a DoppleBot you can train on Linus's messages from the lkml as the ultimate arbitrator of coding disputes.
Dude threaded chat is how it should be, right? Especially if you could reference one thread in another and have it build the proper context up to understand what said thread was as a basis for this new conversation.

Proper context is absolutely everything when it comes to LLM use
Being a defense contractor isn't a problem that a little corporate rearrangement can't fix. Put the consumer division under a new subsidiary with a friendly name and you're golden. Even among the small percentage who know the link, it's likely nobody will really care. For certain markets ("tacticool" gear, consumer firearms) being a defense contractor is even a bonus.

Yeah, pretty similar to StumbleUpon. Right now the links are sourced from a handful of are.na channels and some other collections of content. I plan on warehousing this data and tagging it such that users can configure categories of sites that they'd like to stumble upon. HN submissions are mixed into the algorithm as well.
Yes, it is not "turtles all the way down" (or code/processes/law).

The "base layer" has always been "men with guns".

If you fail to cooperate, an armed security guard will take your badge and escort you to the build exit.

If that security guard does not cooperate, another man with a gun can always be found.
At this point, you could create short videos with relevant images and accompanying audio, post them on TikTok, and profit.
Yeah, `jj git push` acts as an equivalent (according to my experience and understanding) to `git push --force-with-lease`, always.

You don't have to pass an explicit --force, nor an explicit lease-related argument. As you say, rewriting the commits underlying changes happens frequently, so this would otherwise be pretty annoying.

There's also `jj git push --dry-run` to preview which branches would be updated in what way.
It's a colossal error to accept. The government isn't authorized to do a buy-out by congress so you're just quitting and won't receive the payment.

Vague and prone to endless argument?
It's open source, hosted on an American Github server. If you don't trust it, prove it.

If you really don't trust it, copy the algorithms without forking it. That's the big allure of OSS. You should be scutinous, but you should be able to base that scrutiny on cold hard facts.
Programming languages, which are human language, are purpose built for this. Anyone working in the domain of precise specifications uses them, or something very similar (for example, engineering, writing contracts, etc), often daily. ;)

They all usually build down to a subset of english, because near caveman speak is enough to define things with precision.
The whole point of Mad Max is that your TC and RSUs and whatever aren’t worth shit anymore, and the people you thought useless and weird and poor suddenly have the chance to kick you in the face.
Spyware maker Paragon confirms U.S. government is a customer
You know that asshole that joins a team and says "wow this code is bad, we should scrap it all and rewrite?" And if he gets his way, how he fucks off somewhere else before the rewrite is completed and leaves everything in a total mess?

You know that's consider a bad thing in serious software engineering teams, right?
When the entire executive and judicial branches are bought and paid for, violations mean nothing.
Somewhat related, even when I work with C++ I use it as "C with RAII". What I actually want is a scheme (R5RS) with manual memory management and a borrow checker. I don't know how well such a monstrosity would actually work in practice, but it's what I've convinced myself that I want.
Yes that is the goal of google's push service.

The benefit of this service is mainly for people who can't or don't want to use google's push service. Namely for users of de-googled devices and for users of android devices that google blocks from using play services (ex: users of Huawei devices).

But also it's worth noting that unified push provides an optional google FCM fallback so that apps can use google's push services (provided they are available on the device) when a unifiedpush distributor isn't available or configured. So in this sense it means supporting a single push notification standard instead of multiple and the underlying system can switch between which provider to use.

And of course for users of completely self hosted services this means you get all the benefits of a proper push aggregator like google's FCM without having to configure firebase with your services. This is particularly appealing if you self host locally and don't already use cloud services.
Japan has the expertise needed. Managers, engineers and the like. There is nothing here that cannot be done by local management, but it will take time and effort to develop all the people.

If local management had any interest in improving they would have started years ago... So they all need to be kicked out (presumably anyone who did care was forced out over the years) and start over.
You shouldn't project your corrupted worldview on everyone around. Not everyone is like followers of Biden.

Huh? The whole point of Roc is to let you easily put both imperative and functional code in the same project through Roc's platform system.

You get to decide what part of your code should be imperative, and which should be functional.

"Crypto needs to self-police and remove malicious actors" and "Crypto needs to stop having a public ledger" are two contradictory actions where achieving one would make the other impossible.
Actually in 1961 it was purely an executive thing. I think it was either 1978 or 1998 when Congress put it into statute.
You're completely right. It's a shame that instead of doing that people were worried about terms like "whitelist."
Some of the timing of this app seems coincided with something of a large exodus from Meta/Facebook's apps. WhatsApp never quite caught on in the US, but Facebook Events did. (They are both Meta/Facebook apps today. The feature sets are, somewhat similar here.) A lot of my friends have been looking for replacements for Facebook Events, so this is somewhat timely for those that like Apple apps as a replacement.
I have no idea what this is or if I should even click on it. Can we please have a description somewhere first?
Somehow, all those people whose countries get bombed, embargoed, invaded, or have their governments switched by the US - generally seem to fail to agree with you.

Alphabet Announces 4th Quarter and Fiscal Year 2024 Results [pdf]
There's a pretty big difference between a private company pandering to progressives by banning a few words versus the federal government suddenly declaring that many different words and concepts are banned. These NSF flags are just one case out of many, similar changes are being rushed out across every federal department. I agree that the word bans at your company are stupid, but the govt changes are a whole other level of bad.
Yes I agree with that.

I’m just talking about what they say rather than reality.

I’d have edited for clarity but I missed the window.
The Jones Act is bad because it's a bandaid on a more serious wound. Repeal the Jones Act, let what remains of American shipbuilding die, and maybe then someone will try to fix it. Right now the Jones Act just lets people point at the remaining American shipbuilders and say "see? They're viable with our current strategy! We just need to do more!" The only reason the current strategy has any life in it at all is because of the Jones Act; otherwise, it's not viable at all.
Khan Academy. Assuming "math" here is the sort used by programmers, engineers, and most scientists.

If you're talking "math" as used by mathematicians and some physicists (Proofs, disciplines that end in "theory") etc... no idea!
There's a logical fallacy in believing simply because Elon has had some success in business, he can have success here.
(Commit mutability separation, like many of jj's other features, was originally implemented in Mercurial.)
You're not wrong about the words not being banned, but that's not what the person you're responding to claimed.

I'll also note that being flagged for further scrutiny can effectively end a project that requires disbursement of funds in a timely manner. Ask me how I know, and I'll tell you that I was looking for work last week, because the projects I work on would not have been able to pay me next month if the executive order had not been rescinded. This isn't my speculation, it's what we were told by leadership. These projects are not at all DEI-related, but a shotgun approach to halting disbursal until we're convinced otherwise would have caused a lot of projects to go tits up in the interim. Grant-funded science projects generally do not have huge cash reserves to pay employees until the money spigot turns on again. So, applying a filter blacklist can be very destructive, just by creating temporary false positives.
But AI is not decided to be on that list.
Apple may not be exactly jumping in joy about it but, even if it's mostly only useful for people in the US, they probably don't see that as a showstopper either.
I went through school specializing in game development. Here are some thoughts:

Game development is all about project management, including managing external teams. The CS is just one part that goes into the whole business. You instead will be working with artists and their tools, from exporting 3D models to playing sound correctly. Getting everybody working productively is Project Management 101. As a corollary, having students make a very simple game (like Frogger or Space Invaders) with multiple people, including non-technical people, is great practice for real-world development while not exploding in scope.

"Game Design" is notoriously vague, but college is a unique place where you can get all the building blocks. You really want to have some experience with music, art, philosophy, theater, creative writing, project/business management, and much more. The broader your experience the more it serves your foundation. College is also a great place to meet many different people (artists, business, theater, music, etc) that can contribute and bounce ideas. You will learn about managing people!

Game development is more Art than Computer Science. Yes it is a simulation that is programmed on a computer, but outside low level game engine development you will be working on much more fuzzy concepts like artwork and "fun" far more than the CS heavy parts. Because it takes so many different experiences combined together, it's hard to make a specific elective or specific major. I do think other majors, like Film and Theater, are a good prototype of what a Game Development major might look like because they too have to combine many different technical specialties into a production.

tl;dr: Game development isn't a single major, but a whole bunch of majors in a trench coat.
It's also the only bit of Facebook that hasn't turned into an endless stream of trash. I expect that not to last either, if you're looking for an idea then a localised marketplace alternative with social proof should be on your radar.
Some common definitions of the west are white people, western European countries and their former colonies, and the US and their allies. Many such countries are democratic currently. None are democratic innately.

Immigrants and white people are unrelated categories.

Grandfather comment didn't mention anything being "complete"...

But ooh yeah, 3 out of 9 are clean, so there's a chance? Let's just ignore the 6 incompetent apparatchiks and "simple majority rule" shall we?

Don't be so obtuse, we know you're not that stupid.
What about protecting ourselves from a biased bureaucracy who use their power for their own political ends? There is a history of this happening now like the IRS scandal and I am surprised how quiet people are about the mass migration event into the country from 2020-2024. It's to the point where people actually say it's just a conspiracy theory and disinformation despite it being a primary concern of most voters according to polls. It's hard to argue that DHS and other bureaucracies were completely innocent. At best they were negligent and incompetent but I think most people know they took steps to make illegal immigration and asylum claims easier to do and help fund immigration routes. This wasn't a platform Biden ran on. He did not win a democratic mandate to open up asylum claims to basically anyone who arrived and grant temporary protected status somewhat arbitrarily. I am surprised no one is concerned about un-elected people being able to do all this and escaping any responsibility.
You're taking about pre-Clinton consumerism. That system is dead. It used to dictate that the company who could offer the best value deserved to take over most of the market.

That's old thinking. Now we have servitization. Now the business who can most efficiently offer value deserves the entire market.

Basically, iterate until you're the only one left standing and then never "sell" anything but licenses ever again.

Here in the thread he says: https://x.com/jacobaustin132/status/1886844724339675340 : `5 years ago, there were many ML architectures, but today, there is (mostly) only one [transformers].`

To what degree is this actually true, and what else is on the horizon that might become as popular as transformers?
Hah I was just in dolní věstonice a short while ago - there's a really nice walking route past an old castle and through the vineyards that ends up in Mikulov.

edit: also this thing is on display somewhere in Antropos!? I had no idea there was something interesting inside there, it's always been just the "nearly there" point from my walk from Kamenolom to Duck bar.
I don’t know how to feel about the visceral reaction that I have to the action of swiping my thumb in a movement that I can trace from where I guess is a team of tendons somewhere parallel to my wrist and the little fat part of my palm I like to refer to as “my drumstick”, from the bottom of my phone’s screen until the tip of my thumb is just at my general line of sight, all of this in one natural motion. No sooner is this action complete am I met when an entire block of information above my thumb, square in my line of sight.

In one stroke the location of a place, the type of place it is, its size, its distance from somewhere else, its history, read more, or swipe again. And another block. And another. And there’s something about this process that is visually disruptive and kinetically unsettling.
I don't use WhatsApp, though I probably have it installed on my phone.

I'm in a birthday party planning group on Signal, which is another app I hadn't used in years. It's easy to forget I have messages there because it's not on my home screen, or the notification settings are different from my normal Messages app, or I just forget to look.

Each time you use a "different" app for something that's not in your habit loop, your response time gets delayed and you're less likely to notice communications. An app needs to get fairly regular use to become as useful as a primary app, even if, from a technical standpoint, there's nothing wrong with them.
Windsurf is even moreso this way -- it'll look through your codebase trying to find the right files to inspect, it runs the build/test stuff and examines the output to see what went wrong.

I found interacting with it via chat to be super-useful and a great way to get stuff done. Yeah, sometimes you just have to drop into the code, and tag a particular line and say "this isn't going to work, rewrite it to do x" (or rewrite it yourself), but the ability to do that doesn't vitiate the value of the chat.
Ga's are still elected. "Hard on Crime" still works as a campaign slogan to this day.

We have a deeper societal perception to fix first before we can even think about a justice system focused on rehabilitation. It'd also be nice to remove that certain clause in the 13th amendment while we're at it.

Landmines and cluster munitions have been among Ukraine's most effective weapons for resisting the Russian invasion. Without those, Ukraine would likely have already lost the war. It's so bizarre how some people who face no real risks themselves think that those weapons should be declared off-limits.

Going lot lower
Most suggestions of this nature fail to explain how they will deal with the problem of people just seeing there’s no point in trying for more. On a personal level, I’ve heard people from Norway describe this problem for personal income tax—at some point (notably below a typical US senior software engineer’s earnings) the amount of work you need to put in for the marginal post-tax krone is so high it’s just demotivating, and you either coast or emigrate. Perhaps that’s not entirely undesirable, but I don’t know if people have contemplated the consequences of the existence of such a de facto ceiling seriously.
Nah, this kind of thing is fun for judges who know what decision they want to make. It’s like a logic puzzle.
You are just doing yourself a disfavor by dismissing anybody who doesn't think exactly like you as non-human (a troll, a bot, a Russian, a heretic!). On that route, you'll end up living your life much less than to the fullest. I think your example speaks for this.

Yes, I think that a graphical user interface would be excellent for a server. And I'm probably not the only one who would like that idea: Apple invested a bunch of money trying to do just that with their Mac OS X Server.
It's different because it's the federal government. You can't compare it to a bunch of companies deciding to do the same thing because of popular opinion. While both processes have their own mechanism for driving conformity, one is essentially democratic, while the other is strongly autocratic.
I quite like it. Meta AI has become a good programming companion.

I do not see any concrete data from you either. This is a forum. Typically we'd just call this a "conversation."

> Anything can increase cost and complexity. Using Amazon S3 increases cost and complexity.

Yes, and you get something in return for that cost and complexity, so do you care to map out the differences or are you just going to stick to your simple disagreement?

> Set up two locations. Set up rsync. It's still cheaper than cloud storage by far, and that's even after paying yourself handsomely for the script that runs rsync.

You forgot monitoring. You forgot that when this inevitably breaks I'm going to have to go fix it and that you can't schedule failures to only happen during working hours. You're ignoring more than you're considering.
It could get blown out like occupy wallstreet, or, if a natural leader arises to keep momentum focused, they could end up like MLK...
It's probably gone now, but rather bizarrely there was a harrier jump jet parked on a patch of green grass when I was last there some years ago. Sort of "dumped, pending working out how to deal with it" which made me feel like nobody runs the place and everyone runs the place. "Joe said I could" -"oh OK put it over there then"

Another thing about the place is that modern archeology doesn't favour restoration of everything. Limited amounts of structural change happen. So a lot of the site looks like dismal ww2 badly poured concrete, not well looked after. Since GCHQ occupied the space for some time, some of it is probably post war, and historically relevant to different stories.
