> I will tell you a KPI driven org is gaslighting me

That's still just the same old issue aggregate statistics vs. a data point. They tell you something, on average, is this way, but you experienced it in another way, so you say "the statistics must be wrong".

> you know about reality

So the issue is: is your model of "reality" the correct one?
Yeah, I you should see the curation totally from the top, so fully dropping certain platforms is part of the curation. I mean, in essence we all already do that as certain platforms are not even considered a candidate in our 'portfolio'.
If you're worried about a carcass stinking because you're too far from bin day, freeze the bag and then bin it the night before your refuse gets picked up.
OK, well, but that sword cuts in both directions. There has been eight years of subversive #resistance to Trump and now he holds the whip hand, with allies who are highly effective. What's happening now is their own #resistance.
> Is our tooling too bad for this?

Floating points are fundamentally too bad for this. We use them because they're fast, which usually more than compensates for inaccuracies FP math introduces.

(One, dealing with FP errors is mostly a fixed cost - there's a branch of CS/mathematics specializing in it, producing formally proven recipes for computing specific things in way that minimize or at least give specific bounds on errors. That's work that can be done once, and reused forever. Two, most programmers are oblivious to those issues anyway, and we've learned to live with the bugs :).)

When your parallel map-reduce is just doing matrix additions and multiplications, guaranteeing order of execution comes with serious overhead. For one, you need to have all partial results available together before reducing, so either the reduction step needs to have enough memory to store a copy of all the inputs, or it needs to block the units computing those inputs until all of them finish. Meanwhile, if you drop the order guarantee, then the reduction step just needs one fixed-size accumulator, and every parallel unit computing the inputs is free to go and do something else as soon as it's done.

So the price you pay for deterministic order is either a reduction of throughput or increase in on-chip memory, both of which end up translating to slower and more expensive hardware. The incentives strongly point towards not giving such guarantees if it can be avoided - keep in mind that GPUs have been designed for videogames (and graphics in general), and for this, floating point inaccuracies only matter when they become noticeable to the user.

Do you have sources for that? Honestly trying to find out. Thanks!
Absolutely false for most European countries. Most of them are on at least some version of Office365 and many on Azure as well.
Yes, though they have other locations, so the 200 are probably worldwide.

Yeah Santa Barbara can be tough, as it seems over the years you have 2-3 decently sized companies to work at any one time, which come and go and a lot of same people move between them.

With that said, it has/had okay opportunities for a city of its small size.

If people like you are over 20 years old, then wow. "He's the most honest person in the world", literally come on now even if you believe in his way of doing things.

There will always be friction between people, not even just based on physical attributes.. If a company/team doesn't have a subgroup/clique I can get along with the only thing the company can offer me is more standalone tasks/pay. They could try shuffling me from team to team hoping I click with someone assuming they are big enough to have multiple doing what I applied for but it seems hard to motivate the hire to notify you of the issue instead of finding a new job on the side and quitting.

Edit: I don't think trying to get all types of people like you're collecting Pokemon is the fix since then you get more cliques/unofficial teams which may or may not get along with each other. The best you can do is probably offer applicants to remain for a bit after the interview just chilling in the office, talking to people so they can see if they like the people but in the end it just doesn't work out sometimes.
in my experience half the people don't bother installing the tools. They just don't care about formatting/linting, at all.

Having been on the (explicit) receiving side of this - you just don’t fill the other positions until you find the right candidates (where right is whatever criteria you can’t say out loud - though has been said out load often in the last few years).

Alternatively, this is a way for your boss to meet budget targets while not explicitly laying people off, and giving hope to people that help is coming.
Also EU daughter companies of US tech giants are still legally EU companies (owned by US companies) legally they have to strictly comply with EU law and it matters shit what US law says (from the EU legislative POV) so this puts them into a huge problem spot.
> Podman, Systemd, Wayland and tons of other software was created by or sponsored by Red Hat because everything has to be done their way

Not saying that you are not right, but for clarity, on Podman, and in lesser terms Systemd, there are valid points from RedHat - at least from my perspective as system administrator. I suggest you to make your own mind from this article[1].

> According to Walsh's presentation, the root cause of the conflict is that the Docker daemon is designed to take over a lot of the functions that systemd also performs for Linux. These include initialization, service activation, security, and logging. "In a lot of ways Docker wants to be systemd," he claimed. "It dreams of being systemd."

My key take - Docker's developers cared about moving forward fast and making dev's life easier, not about integrating into existing systems well (which probably alone is the reason why Docker was born - see how FreeBSD guys keep believing they have Jails and it's superior over Docker).

A good catalog of mostly skills issues.

Many of the points raised point to real glitches, cruft, and frustrations with using the CLI. Those get more frustrating for people who only occasionally use the CLI, and less so for those of us who live in the shell.

Many of the same kinds of problems exist in GUIs. I rarely use Windows so when I do I can’t find or discover what I need.

Over time you remember the commands and flags, write aliases, set up config files, and mostly it becomes second nature.
They will just write up a new deal, which will be legal until it is declared illegal by a court after half a decade of litigation. Rinse, repeat. This has been going on for ages already.
Except for the fact that people with ASD / Neurodiversity are often more likely to be passed over during interview and selection processes as they don't fit the social norms that hiring manager also expect.

So even if they are more likely to be diagnosed - and I presume you mean White 'Men' explicitly, as Women are even less likely to be - they're also more likely to not 'sell' themselves during applications in the expected corporate way, and therefore not get the high-paying jobs.

Diversity is not just Race or skin colour, but that's easier to see (and to consciously bias).

I think they meant relative to the best other approach, which is Reducto’s given that they are the creators of the benchmark:

Reducto's own model currently outperforms Gemini Flash 2.0 on this benchmark (0.90 vs 0.84). However, as we review the lower-performing examples, most discrepancies turn out to be minor structural variations that would not materially affect an LLM’s understanding of the table.
Why in God's name would I share my personal data with the authorities here in the EU?
Why 10GB? Why not 10TB?
Is-it though? Hyperbolic praise of a vendor on the web is quite transparent, hence, a casual reader is hardly going to be fooled. LLM distortion would be just as severe BUT much harder to spot.
The goal of such regulation would be to reduce the amount of influence US tech billionaires can exert over the EU. Any regulation would be written with that in mind, so an opco which would still be controlled from the US is not in line with that goal. At the very least, regulation could enforce that any opcos (more joint ventures at that point) would be at least 51% owned and operated by EU entities.
Journals can't police academia because their customers are university libraries. It's just not going to happen: journals are so far gone that they routinely publish whole editions filled with fake AI generated content and nobody even notices, so expecting them to enforce scientific rigor on the entire grant-funded science space is a non-starter ... and very indirect. Why should journals do this anyway? It's the people paying who should be checking that the work is done to a sufficient standard.
I presume this was not intentional.

Well sometimes at least.

When the government really cares, it can put all its resources to solve any particular problem. Though obviously that comes at the cost of reassigning resources from other tasks. Sadly it's impossible to assign all resources to solve every problem all at once.

I get excited when I see things like this, even if they're simple because I think I can build a business on top of it. However, in complex tasks and real-life cases, it's successful in very few instances. I can't trust its stability. This makes me feel like I've been deceived. I believe agents will be used for tasks that require very little intelligence and constant repetition. It's actually an assistant in situations like this demo. I want to use agents everywhere, but they're not successful in their outputs. GPT-4 is still being used at large scales. I don't know what the situation is with high-level usage of models that do reasoning like o1 through APIs, I haven't tried it. I tried Deepseek, and I encountered stability issues with Deepseek APIs. Besides, R1 doesn't have function calls.

Interestingly enough I checked on another non-Private Relay device (it worked), disabled Private Relay, refreshed the page, which still blocked me, and it resulted in the ban instantly extending to my other non-Private Relay devices.

Good point, I didn’t mention the hardware requirements in the article. Ollama runs best with a dedicated GPU, but it can work on CPUs (just much slower). If you're on a MacBook with an M1 or higher chip, it should work, but performance won’t be great.

I haven’t set up Ollama on DigitalOcean yet, but since they offer GPU instances, it should be a solid option. I’ll test it and write a guide soon.

Compared to running locally or using something like Hugging Face, DigitalOcean gives more power and flexibility but requires setup, while Hugging Face is easier but less customizable. I’ll share an update once I’ve tested the DigitalOcean setup
Technically they also have EU daughter companies operating this services etc. this are legally seen EU companies and have to strictly comply with EU law no matter what US law says.

But US law like cloud act is a broad overreach of US law into other countries.

Which puts them into a tough spot where there parent company has to comply with US law and give US access to their EU daughter company but their daughter company must not allow them such access at all and if they would use technical means to get it anyway it would be legally no different then a cyberattack....
I don't remember Pirch or mIRC being like that.
Not to necessarily contradict your experience, but to balance it with a bit of optimism... Weight lifters who stop training often find they do lose muscle faster than they'd like.

BUT, once it's packed on, muscle seems to require a lower minimum volume of training to maintain.

AND, when they start training again, it comes back much faster than it did the first time around.

So, there are no excuses to not get a pump :)

It is too early to say. He'd actually doing pretty well in favourability polling [0] and is certainly doing a lot better than the Congress. But it is proper to wait another month to see what people think when the situation has calmed down a little. From a distance it looks like he is attempting to implement policies he campaigned on but who really knows. And that approach would be a bit unusual in the US public's experience so it isn't obvious how they will react.

It is unfortunate 538.com doesn't seem to have the comparisons to former presidents available. It'd be fun to check how he is doing vs Trump I.

> my commit history got much cleaner with jj

In my opinion the traditional git workflow is flawed, but wanting the commit history to be cleaner is fundamentally the wrong approach.

There are basically two main reasons to look at a chronological list of commits: reading it as a changelog, and bisecting to find a bug. As a changelog, you want the history to be clean, organized, and concise. Rebase-based workflows are good for this and it's what Jujutsu excels at. For bug hunting, every commit should build successfully and be a faithful representation of what was on the developer's machine at the time they made the commit. Merge-based workflows are good for this.

But these are conflicting requirements. If you optimize for readability, you lose reproducibility and vice-versa. To achieve both you need to stop trying to use commit histories as a changelog. It doesn't matter how messy it is if you never look at it.

But then you need some kind of history to look at. Personally I haven't seen any open source tools that solve this well enough to be a viable alternative. Stacked diffs are probably the closest.

I like Jujutsu but it feels more like an incremental improvement over Git as opposed to something that actually addresses the deeper issues of VCS.
Zilog Z80 had very significant improvements over Intel 8080. From many points of view it can be considered midway between Intel 8080/8085 and Intel 8086/8088.

Besides increasing the number of registers, Z80 has added many features that were standard in any general-purpose computer (e.g. signed integer support and indexed addressing), but which were missing in Datapoint 2200/Intel 8008/Intel 8080, simply because Datapoint 2200 had not been designed to be used in general-purpose computers but only for implementing the logic required inside a serial terminal.

However many programs for Z80 did not make good use of its additional functions, because they were intended to remain compatible with the legacy Intel 8080 systems.

Intel 8086 did not have this problem, because it was only source-code compatible with 8080, not binary compatible, so any application had to be recompiled for it, and fully using the new ISA did not have any additional disadvantage.

Unlike 6502, Intel 8080 and Z80 had a few 16-bit operations, which were intended for address computations, while data operations were expected to be handled using the 8-bit accumulator.

Despite the intended use and the limited set of 16-bit operations, implementing complicated arithmetic operations, e.g. floating-point arithmetic, was still faster using the 16-bit address registers and operations for handling data. With properly optimized programs, Z80 and even 8080 could be much faster than 6502 for number crunching. (Though faster is only relative, because FP64 floating-point operations took many milliseconds per operation on any 8-bit microprocessor, many billions of times slower than on a modern laptop or desktop CPU.)
Followed by OS, could not have those backdoors there.

Finally it is going to be the year of SuSE Linux Desktop, and Jolla.

Maybe we could have a second coming of Nokia N900 as well.
Well, that's genuinely horrifying.
The use-case is because it's so cheap, why bother with anything less.

Currently, I can get 1Gbps Internet for $15, while the cheapest package is 200Mbps for $5. I expect they'll offer 10Gbps in my area in the next few years for the same cost as the 1Gbps now.

Still, at that speed, the router CPU can actually become the bottleneck, and OpenWRT currently has pretty poor support for hardware accelerated routing.
What kind of pdf feature works in chrome but not evince?
I get your comparison to the TikTok ban, but not even noyb is questioning the legality of transfers outside the EU to countries in general, whether pursuant to an European Commission adequacy decision or pursuant to Standard Contractual Clauses.

The problem is specifically that US law and policy will make both of those options unviable to guarantee the rights GDPR requires with respect to transfers to the US, once noyb gets the EU courts to state this clearly enough and invalidate the Commission’s adequacy decision for businesses which participate in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. (In the meantime, EU companies are allowed to rely on that decision.)

There are several non-EU countries with adequacy decisions whose validity nobody is questioning, including Canada, New Zealand, and the UK. Many more countries can adequately be handled through Standard Contractual Clauses. The problem is very US-specific.
Nah, we would get fine with SuSE Linux and Jolla.

Password hash is designed for matching: take the salt, add it to the password, run it through the hash, compare it to the stored hash. The important properties are:

- MUST be non-reversible, including against tricks like "rainbow tables"

- should be somewhat expensive to discourage just trying all possible passwords against a (leaked) hash

KDF is a key derivation function. The value will be used as a key in, say, AES. The important properties are:

- should distribute entropy as well as possible, across the required width of output bits

- reversibility less important as the derived key shouldn't be stored anywhere

- may or may not want artificially inflated cost to discourage cracking
A password hash is a simple hash of a password. Hash algorithms are made to be fast. KDF - key deriving functions - are slow by design and are made to derive a key from a given string. They are designed to be slow to make password searching slower. This is a 2c tour of the topic.

Hetzner is not US-headquartered, so I'd say it should not be possible for the US government to make Hetzner turn out data from its EU locations.

They will most certainly be able to make the US subsidiary of Hetzner turn out any kind of data it technically has access to. But if Hetzner is not entirely stupid (and they are usually pretty smart) they set up their internal networks such that the US admins cannot access data located in the EU.

The problem with EU subsidiaries of Amazon and Microsoft is that the principal corporation is located in the US and subject to US jurisdiction, and that eventually, the owning company is always able to make a subsidiary comply with its demands, so it's virtually impossible to set up an impenetrable barrier between them. It's the other way round with Hetzner. A subsidiary can't command the owning company around, not even if the US government wants it to.
