Many of them have, in fact, done all of those things, and have done them over a time horizon measured in years. Many of the R4L developers are paid by their employers specifically to work on R4L and can therefore be considered reasonably reliable and not drive-by contributors.

Many existing maintainers are not "general contributors"

It is unreasonable (and a recipe for long-term project failure) to expect every new contributor to spend years doing work they don't want to do (and are not paid to do) before trusting them to work on the things they do want (and are paid) to do.

Christoph refused to take onboard a new maintainer. The fight from last August was about subsystem devs refusing to document the precise semantics of their C APIs. These are signs of fief-building that would be equally dangerous to the long-term health of the project if Rust was not involved whatsoever.

There's an unfortunate history of scientists harming study subjects, which caused most institutions to institute these safeguards, so as to avoid reputational harm which would cause the government to cease funding them. Corporations are not subject to political whims, though they often do have lawyers review their study techniques, as they are subject to lawsuits.

> Collecting clinical MRIs to do deep learning doesn't require an IRB

Yes it does, but typically the IRB will waive consent and waive notification for those sorts of studies if the images can be de-identified. There's also HIPAA involved which may or may not require establishing a BAA depending on what's being done if the images can't be de-identified. This is particularly an issue with brain MRI because it is usually trivial to generate an image that can be compared to full-face photographs (i.e. can be compared to drivers license/passport type photos to reestablish identify).

And longer term you're not getting anything even in the door at the FDA without an IRB and you're not selling anything without FDA approval.

Also please note that MRI is a Class II regulated device that deposits energy in subjects/patients so it doesn't qualify for a lot of the exemptions (early last year the FDA granted IRBs the ability to do things like wave full written consent for minimal risk research for FDA-regulated research).

Data Formulator 2: Iteratively Creating Rich Visualizations with AI
I will have a look, if it is available online
>IRBs are only REALLY required when you are intervening in patient care or pose some theoretical risk to a human.

Theoretical risk is a very broad category. IRB approval is required to download de-identified human genome sequences, in part because the genome sequence can be used to identify the individual. Drawing blood from an individual, or using blood that has been drawn for other purposes, requires IRB approval. And IRB approval is required for many sociology studies (or surveys), in part because publishing an individuals answers to a survey might put the subject at risk.

So the "theoretical risk" threshold can be very low. It's theoretical after all, so the harm need only be imaginable.

The amount of drama that this has created for Linux when the entire situation was being handled in a non-dramatic way is staggering.

At its root, nothing about the entire situation had anything to do with marcan anyway and yet somehow he has focused an enormous amount of attention on himself and negative opinions at those he disagreed with. He habitually does things that draw attention to himself (in situations that aren't about him specifically) and then points to _any_ form of criticism he receives and cries harassment.

Of course anyone reasonable would never want to work with him.
"a maintainer"

The way you word that makes it sound like "the maintainers" and "T-libs-api" do not consider this "okay". Reading just above the linked comment, however, puts a very different impression of the situation:

> We discussed this regression in today's @rust-lang/libs-api team meeting, and agree there's nothing to change on Rust's end. Those repos that have an old version of time in a lockfile will need to update that.
That is because most academics work at institutions which receive federal funding and all human research at such institutions requires IRB approval. American corporations in general do not receive federal funding and so IRB approval is only required in limited circumstances such as research on unapproved medical drugs and procedures.
I have little faith that, should it all be burned down, recreating it all from the ground up that it would be better.

People need to accept that what Trump is doing is only possible because of what his predecessors put down as law. That means democratic presidents too.

I didn't see Trump's detractors call all of this out when the winds were blowing their way. So no, I have no faith that rebuilding it from the ground up would make it one iota better. Not without deep societal changes.
I'm American, I was born in Arizona, I did my schooling in the US, and I have worked in the US for all of my career. I disagree with your assertion that "thin blue line" necessarily implies support for corruption.

And by the way, so does Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_blue_line doesn't mention this interpretation at all. The closest thing is this sentence, which is really not saying the same thing at all, and at any rate only presenting it as something "critics argue", rather than the settled meaning of the phrase.

> Critics argue that the "thin blue line" represents an "us versus them" mindset that heightens tensions between officers and citizens and negatively influences police-community interactions by setting police apart from society at large.

The answer is no, you don't need permission, but you do incur a legal and ethical risk whenever you do research, and as such, the more you can do to strengthen the legal and ethical arguments in your defense, the better.

IRBs are simply a way to say "I had an independent group of ethical and legal authority review my research and they thought it was ok".
I see many people saying Anthropic has to release something new to compete, but I think sonnet 3.5 is doing just fine.

100%. We have very little power to demand this in my opinion.

Honestly I don't think Apple would even need to work with other tech giants on this (although that would help). The UK makes up a few percent of Apple's total revenues so while Apple would take a hit, they can afford to pull out of the UK and it could be worth doing if they're serious about proving how important privacy is to them.

Apple will face some reputational harm should they choose to put a back door in their products at the threat of an authoritarian government, and that harm will need to be weighed against the cost of pulling out of the UK entirely.

And realistically Apple announcing that they're going to pull out of the UK will result in panic in confidence in UK tech. How the hell are we going to build competitive tech companies if developers can't even access Apple products? And after 14 years of economic stagnation it's not like we have excess growth we can give up...

Apple should be very firm in their response to this. The UK are over playing their hand.
As discussed in the Reddit thread linked elsewhere, this is far more likely to be sloppy research and misinterpretation of data than a deliberate lie. It's not trivial to accurately determine whether a tiny collection of graphite particles is actually superconducting.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto_AG

From a quick skim it looks like in both cases surveillance was bilateral? In other words, European partner countries also got access. Again, I'm not claiming US doesn't do any surveillance, that would be absurd. I'm specifically arguing against OP's claim that "American government have [...] access to all non-American's personal data", and that their access was somehow exclusive. All the source you presented so far only points towards the US having access to some data (in other words, they have an intelligence agency), and that they cooperate with foreign governments in some cases to get data.

>My point is: the UK demands are bad but I‘m sure the US agencies have similar demands and also backdoors, I‘m looking at you Cisco, just not openly.

Do you have evidence for US having backdoors in cisco hardware other than being "sure"?

This article by Scott Alexander (Money Saved By Canceling Programs Does Not Immediately Flow To The Best Possible Alternative) talks a fair bit about how effective this program is: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/money-saved-by-canceling-pr...

I don't think it's a big issue on Microsoft's radar because a lot of OLED screens have a high enough pixel density that the problem isn't really noticeable. The subpixel arrangements themselves have also improved in recent years, further mitigating the issue.

I have a 27" 1440p 3rd gen QD-OLED panel and while I can make out some fringing if I pay real close attention to black-on-white text, it's not noticeable in general usage. The 4k panels have such a high DPI that I can't see the fringing at all without a magnifying glass.

The Rust compiler/language has no notion of semver. Saying "Rust is unstable b/c semver blah blah" is a tad imprecise. Semver only matters in the context of judging API changes of a certain library (crate).

> The only reason to do semantic versioning is compatibility

Sure. But "compatibility" needs to be defined precisely. The definition used by the Rust crate ecosystem might be slightly looser than others, but I think it's disingenuous to pretend that other ecosystems don't have footnotes on what "breaking change" means.
This quite literally the story of nouveau. The driver exists because people need it, and the driver is maintained by the people who wrote it. I don't see why the same doesn't apply to Linux on Apple Silicon.

However the blame lies squarely with Microsoft. What the hell is their office suite up to?
They've said that, but nobody believes them, and can you blame them given we JUST saw another big rust maintainer resign?

I'd be suspicious these guys aren't in it for the long haul if they don't get their way and will leave the Rust they shoved in the kernel to bit rot if things don't go their way w.r.t enough rust adoption fast enough. "If you don't let us add even more rust, we will resign from the project and leave you to maintain the rust that's already there and that we added, and that you said you didn't want to add because you didn't trust us to not resign".

Rust 4 Linux people just proving the points of the maintainers scared of abandonment.

The rust 4 Linux people unfortunarely give the impression of caring more about rust than about the kernel, and it's clear that many are willing to make that perfectly clear by abandoning the larger project.

The whole thing needs to be scrapped and rethought with better and more committed leadership. This past 6 months to a year has been embarrassing and done nothing but confirm the fears of anti rust people.
Corporations can steal your work, etc. and thereby cause enormous problems that do not fit governments.

IIRC the SQL pipe google paper references PRQL. I think both make sense in their own context. SQL pipe is a smaller leap for users familiar with SQL and prql sort of takes on more change. I do wonder if the smaller leap might cause more deja-vu displacement initially than a bigger shift like PRQL. I don't know the answer other than look at users of both over time and see how they do with the different syntaxes.

In school the max grade we can get is 100%, and everyone seems fine with that. People don't seem to complain that there's a cap.

In videogames there tend to be max levels, or max scores. People play them knowing they won't ever hit them, and no one seems to mind.

No one starts a job thinking they can get infinite raises. A lot of people tend to have a general idea of what the max compensation they can expect in their line of work is, and seem to be fine with that.

I think people tend to be pretty ok with theoretical or even hard limits, especially if they're far from them.

I really can't think of an upper bound for US response to an action like that.
An article like this is interesting from a research (meta-research?) perspective, but I think the lack of relevant case law (nobody seems to have ever been prosecuted) really undermines the usefulness.

It's easy for people (especially the kinds of people who gravitate towards engineering) to get all worked up about the necessary implications of the regulations as-written. But it's also important to remember that being facings consequences would require

A) The intentional action of either a state prosecutor or an injured private party
B) The involvement of a human being as a judge to interpret the facts and applicable rules

When you look at it from that angle, it's obvious why organizations like META just do the research, imho.

You push some changes up to a git repo, they have no clue you used jj to do it. But I also feel like that maybe isn't answering your question.
