Eh, I think that covers most of the population.

Obviously, there are exceptions: people with severe psychopathy, for example.
Exactly my point. Deception may be necessary at times.
The problem with this approach is that to someone out there, any amount is "too much" Should we start with confiscating all earnings in excess of $100 per month and adjust from there if needed? No matter how ridiculous a thing I propose, if you don't agree then I can easily just say

> Should our inability to unanimously agree on something prevent us from doing anything? No. Let’s start somewhere. We can adjust if we need.
Solo marketing can get chaotic, so staying organized is key. Here’s my system:

1)Tools: Notion for planning, Ahrefs for SEO, Trello for outreach, Google Calendar for scheduling.

2) Method: Kanban for tasks + weekly sprints to stay on track.
Time Split: 40% content & outreach, 30% engaging on sites, 20% backlinks, 10% analytics.

3) Hacks: Batch outreach, use templates, automate reports.

4) Tracking: ‘Today, This Week, This Month’ lists keep everything in check.

Apart from my main work, I also write on LinkedIn regularly and plan my content weekly to stay consistent.
This guy wants AI cameras watching you everywhere .
He said that if you know you are being watched ,you'll be well behaved .
Which is a moot point because the agreement right now is that Rust code is allowed to break, so the C developer in question can just ignore Rust, and a Rust person will take care of it for them.
Hard to call what's going on a "minor disagreement" though. And that's the problem - some people just stonewall and the leadership refuses to do anything about it.
Reminds me of how a bunch of eye-tracking research originally done at MIT to help create smart devices for autistic people to pick up on nonverbal communication got cancelled and repackaged in the adtech space.
I wish they would have both. Personally when I'm reading something in my field, I want the specific details, but when I'm reading outside my field, I could use the dumbed down version.

> He needs to stop fighting with the winds he can't control. Users gonna be users, and people gonna be people. Everyone won't be happy, never ever.

Right - but it kinda sounds like he's facing headwinds in a lot of different directions.

Headwinds from Apple, who are indifferent to the project, stingy with documentation, and not inclined to reduce their own rate of change.

Headwinds from users, because of the stripped down experience.

Headwinds from the kernel team, who are in the unenviable situation of having to accept and maintain code they can't test for hardware they don't own; and who apparently have some sort of schism over rust support?

Be a heck of a lot easier if at least one of them was on your side.
Would you mind providing a caption for such an appeal that the administration has won? I’d love to read it. Right now I’m only finding the CA1 upholding the funding freeze, and CA9 is about to take up the birthright citizenship order.
Do you do trunk-based development with Git? I'm just curious what the review tool would have to work with.
December is technically Biden administration but it's blatantly obvious why it was signed. The election results are out and they saw musk as the president and that the military has the most to lose if things get really cut. Someone there is being clever and throwing money to musk to ensure it doesn't get cut.
You only need to worry about GDPR if you are harvesting and saving personal and identifiable information on your users.

If you are not doing that then you dont even have to think about it.
One main difference with tmux is that I can script the startup of my "tabbed terminals", and I can background the whole project and switch to another one (a new tmux session is akin to a new desktop workspace full of your tabbed terminals).

I used to use your setup, and I was fast. But tmux is much better. (I'm also a full-stack dev btw)

Another advantage, I can ssh into the server, start a tmux session, and work there the same way I do on my local. Doing that your way would require a lot of ssh sessions.

Your own article admits it's basically used nowhere. That's important, because OP specifically claims that the US government has"access to all non-American's personal data". Moreover it was widely condemned, contrary to OP's claim of "but when the UK/EU wants something similar, suddenly it's a massive outrage. Is it just "we're stronger than you", so it's ok when we do it?".

> I'm also firmly in the native app camp.

Then you are answering the wrong question. I want a "web native" answer and proposed a simple modification of existing Web APIs. As a mixed iOS/Windows/Linux user, I have selfish reasons to want a cross-device solution that works at the Firefox standardized level. Even outside of the selfish reason, the kinds of "apps" I've been building that could use simple device-to-device sync have just as many or sometimes more Android users than Apple device users. I've also seen some interesting mixes there too among my users (Android phone, iPadOS device, Windows device; all Chrome browser ecosystem though).

> It's probably harder to answer those questions if you can't build the solution around a device with a secure element.

Raw Passkey support rates are really high. Even Windows 10 devices stuck on Windows 10 because no TPM 2.0 still often have reasonably secure TPM 1.0 hardware.

Piggybacking on Passkey roaming standards may be a possibility here, though mixed ecosystem users will need ways to "merge" Passkey-based roaming for the same reasons they need ways to register multiple Passkeys to an app. (I need at least two keys, sometimes three, for my collection of devices today/cross-ecosystem needs, again selfishly at least.)
Except that's largely not true - government agencies always (with very rare exception) implement the will of Congress, as directed by the President.

Never (in modern times) have rank-and-file government employees been required to pledge fealty to the president (vs the Constitution). That's happening now.

Never (in modern times) has the President purged massive swaths of agencies with whom he's had run-ins in the past (DoJ, FBI, etc). Or, in the case of USAID, it's Musk taking revenge because they had the nerve to investigate Starling outages over Ukraine.

Much of what we're seeing today is petty revenge.
It's insane, they didn't even use Youtube for the embed either.
I think we're mixing 2 things here: language backward-compatibility, vs. standard practices about what semver means for Rust libraries. The former is way stronger than the latter.

It's a variation on "never change a winning team". Which is valid. As long as the team is winning. Doing more of the same is not going to fix things if it stops winning.

It's a problem with bureaucracies. They bloat. They grow. They never shrink.

Byzantine bureaucracies refer to the notion that this got out of hand shortly before the collapse of what remained of the Roman empire at that point. Bureaucracies are also sometimes referred to as Kafkaesque to indicate how nonsensical, illogical, and absurdist bureaucracies can become.

Anyway, the US federal bureaucracy is enormous. It employs massive amounts of people. It's complicated, vast, and very change resistant. The task of doing something about that is so intimidating that no recent previous government has had the nerve to do anything significant about that. They all chickened out and instead just added their own layers of more bureaucracy to the mix. It's easier to add stuff to the pile than to take stuff away from it. So, after a few centuries of that, there's probably a lot of stuff there that barely makes sense to anyone.

The department highlighted in the article strikes me like a good example of a product of such a bureaucracy.

The article barely explains why this apparently very large, expensive, and richly staffed department exist, what it does, and why that is so important. It also fails to outline what kind of budget it has and what the intended purpose of that budget is.

I can't really judge based on this article whether taking a sledge hammer to that department is a good thing or not. The article seems to suggest it isn't but I can't say it's very convincing.

That chat bot that they highlight doesn't strike me as "key technology". Quite the opposite actually. The article raises more questions than it answers here. What was that thing supposed to do? Who was it for? Who backed/approved this? Why? How much did that cost? What else do people in that department do? All reasonable questions to ask.

Yeah. TSMC is the best right now. But they achieved that for a variety of reasons, including a very supportive Taiwanese government. The other major reason was Apple really saved their ass when they moved over from Samsung. The third reason is Intel really did fuck up under the Brian years.
This is a beautiful and well done table. The exact formatting and the inclusion of extra statistics are appreciated.
My impression is the average Zig programmer is more interested in making a better Linux than trying to prove Zig can be used in Linux.

There are _already_ dozens of hobby OS projects and embedded groups doing systems work in Zig. Everyone knows Zig is a systems language. It doesn't have a chip on their shoulder.
I've spent the past 2 years as a fractional AI engineer, and this totally resonates with the advice I've given clients.

They usually hire me after they've gained some initial traction and are stuck on how to improve their LLM further.

Most of the time, they don't have any evals in place. But when they do, it's usually an LLMJudge that shows "everything working well" against a tiny curated dataset. I then spend a couple of weeks painstakingly going through their production data and finding a ton of issues they didn't know about. Their response is usually "holy crap there's so many issues we didn't know about! We had deluded ourselves into thinking our LLM is close to perfect, when it really has a ton of issues".
man, that's quite a jump to conclusions. It is a hypothetical forecast.
He seems to take a lot of things that are fairly neutral or merely untactful as being bad faith. Like the "thin blue line" comment by Dr Greg. Sure the whole thing blue line thing in reference to the police misrepresents their role in society (police in most western countries are fairly useless at best and actively harmful at worse), but Occam's razor just suggests that Dr Greg was just making a tactless remark rather than being super pro po-po.
This might be crazy, but why does Ashai and its drivers need to be upstreamed to the Linux kernel at all?

Why not fork Linux and call it something new, with the hardware support that is exclusively for M1/2/3/4 Mac’s?
But it does infect if some "standard library" is injected into the output. This is why glibc has a "linking exception".

YouTube used to have DMs so you could do this. I don't remember exactly when it was removed. Probably late aughts.
Just what the Federal Bureaucracy needs: $400M worth of armored Teslas.

I can't wait to hear the spin on this one. Noses will be growing without bound.

Can you imagine the uproar from Conservatives if a Democrat had bought $400M of EVs with government funds? It would have been a meltdown of epic proportions.

We have gone through the looking glass.

Edit: I see that Tesla was the only one that responded to the RFI that was indeed issued last year. So probably nothing underhanded going on. BUT- I still stand by my assertion that the right would have melted down and spun this like a top if a Dem had done it.
The courts do not have a way to stop the President.

The US Marshall Service is part of the Executive. Without the US Marshalls, Judges are tigers with no teeth.

Literally nothing SCOTUS can do when a President does not voluntarily comply other than to order Executive Branch employees to disobey the President and hope they comply.

The intention of copyright is
..."to promote the progress of science and useful arts". I don't see anything in there about rewarding 'work' irrespective of whether that work involves any kind of creativity.

Not sure where you got that quote from, but I'd say the work aspect is implicit in the "promote the progress" - ie progress requires that people are able to get paid in their work to progress science or the useful arts.

If the progress was trivial and required no work then it wouldn't need protection or promotion.

And sure it's phrased that way to get the balance between fair use and protection - but if there was no need of protection then copyright wouldn't need to exist - as free reuse is the default.
There is a booming trend of comically evil ~80 year old billionaires. If you only have a few years left on Earth, you probably shouldn't be allowed to make decisions on behalf of the people who will actually live long enough to experience the consequences.

In the US, this is a reference to the belief that members of law enforcement should be loyal folirst to other members of law enforcement and only secondarily to the law. Or at least that is how I have always understood it.
> As an European I find it odd that you are suggesting that the stated goals of DOGE (government efficiency, cutting public expenses, wasre, etc) are, as I interpret your choice of people/parties, "far right".

Just because Hannibal Lecter's stated goal is a "tasty meal" doesn't mean it's intended to be accomplished in a good fashion.
You don't get to vote to break laws. You can vote to change or remove laws, but that is not what is happening here.
Sorry, I should have tagged my sarcasm. It should cover every person in the population. A billion dollars is enough money that you and your family for untold generations will never have to work again.
Do they maybe also mandate ownership of a valid suitable (for voting) form of ID?
Because then it's something you need regardless of voting, so you aren't using right to vote to force it onto people.
Don't know what to tell you. The C developers have the keys of the kingdom. It's up to the rust devs to appease them. When you are a new-comer to an old project a big part of that is working with the current gatekeepers to get your changes through in a way they'll accept. That can sometimes mean doing things sub optimally in your view.

In particular, the DMA maintainer didn't want rust code in their DMA subsystem. That sucks, but it means you need to relocate your dma bridge code out of their subsystem. It does mean your driver will be a second-class citizen in the kernel tree (which was always going to be the case for rust).

Linus' reaction was to someone who started a public campaign against another kernel developer and tried to use that following to pressure the maintainers of the kernel to bend to the will of the newcommer. I'm sorry, but I'd also have a pretty negative reaction to that.

The workplace equivalent is you publishing a whistle blowing article against a team in your company because they'd not accept a pull request you worked very hard on. You don't do that. You handle things internally and privately and sometimes you tell the boss "sorry, I can't get this done because another team is blocking the change and they are unwilling to work with me".

And do not mistake my post. I'm not siding with the C dev just because I'm critiquing the rust dev. Guy sounds like he's too stuck in his way. The problem is you don't get a big well working and long running project like the kernel without having these sorts of long-term maintainers that make the calls and shots on what to reject.
Obligatory Ellison/Oracle/lawnmower comparison:

> As you know people, as you learn about things, you realize that these generalizations we have are, virtually to a generalization, false. Well, except for this one, as it turns out. What you think of Oracle, is even truer than you think it is. There has been no entity in human history with less complexity or nuance to it than Oracle. And I gotta say, as someone who has seen that complexity for my entire life, it's very hard to get used to that idea. It's like, 'surely this is more complicated!' but it's like: Wow, this is really simple! This company is very straightforward, in its defense. This company is about one man, his alter-ego, and what he wants to inflict upon humanity -- that's it! ...Ship mediocrity, inflict misery, lie our asses off, screw our customers, and make a whole shitload of money. Yeah... you talk to Oracle, it's like, 'no, we don't fucking make dreams happen -- we make money!' ...You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it'll chop it off, the end. You don't think 'oh, the lawnmower hates me' -- lawnmower doesn't give a shit about you, lawnmower can't hate you. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don't fall into that trap about Oracle.

The thread didn't really have drama before marcan stirred the pot. There was a disagreement, but the individuals pushing for the merge were not attempting to escalate, only try to find a path forward in a way that might make both parties happy with the compromise. The drama and social media outrage arguably did nothing to help, and as far as I can tell, simply makes for good entertainment for onlookers who like to gossip. While it would be nice to have Linus help out here with a clear resolution after escalation, it's clear to me that the behavior marcan displayed is the higher priority problem to address.
You continue to misunderstand open source. "Linux" in incapable of wanting things. Linus as the quality gatekeeper of the main repository cannot tell anyone what to do; his power is purely saying "I won't merge that". The project is what the project contributors do, and nobody can tell them as a group what to do. It's herding cats, not a business meeting.

I have very little personal interest in Asahi, I am not really part of that "conversation", but I dislike outsiders coming in and expecting to dictate how something that predates them should work. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but that doesn't mean anyone else has to listen to it. If you want to understand, read linux-kernel the mailing list and watch people like Al Viro work (Minimum realistic time allotment: multiple months).
I agree. Everyone here seems to be criticising Marcan for not being professional, but it’s very difficult to remain professional when the people you’re working with gloat in public that they intend to completely sabotage your work product despite it being given explicit support by the CEO. Why are you the only one criticising the coworkers? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills reading this thread.
> Really it's about encouraging governments to buy a whole lot more Oracle licenses.

I wish I believed that's all it was. I think Ellison really believes in an extremely authoritarian/oversight government to keep people in line. He's made plenty of statements over time to such and he runs everything he touches that way. I think he's the most dangerous type of all because he (in that tiny stone cold heart of his) really believes he is doing it for the better of people[1]. Of course the rich and powerful like him know better and don't need that, but all the riff raff like us...

[1] Reminds me of this favorite C.S. Lewis quote: "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
Unlike hunger, health, etc. that are at the base, Maslow's hierarchy says nothing about fulfilling your AI needs. Even if you argue this is a manifestation of "self", it's at the top, and least impactful for the broadest audience.
> How did you install it? App Store or direct?

Direct.

It hadn't even occurred to me to look for it on the App Store. I went to check, and noticed that it's $9. Since the reviews suggest that it's not always kept up to date there, and since part of that $9 is going to Apple, I wonder what the advantage of installing through the App Store is over installing directly and donating $9 to the Document Foundation?
I'm from the UK, and I completely agree.

The general public either don't know about growing mass surveillance and privacy invasions, or don't care. "Terrorism and child abuse = bad, and if this prevents it and I have nothing to hide then why would it be a problem for me?"
There's a ton of research and regulatory oversight in this area, and the choices made generally make sense. You can safely assume that the testing recommendations are 3-5 years behind the research, though.
This "massively growing cancer" is at most the size it has been under Reagan. It's been shrinking for decades.

From what/where do you derive these assertions?
“Complicit” is an interesting word choice here—as if a non-voter is somehow responsible for wrongdoing? What “wrong” was done here? Trump won because he was democratically elected by every measure we have, both popular vote and electoral college. If your candidate lost it’s because they didn’t earn the votes, have the message, or created the reason for that non-voter to vote for them. The candidate and campaign are more responsible for their loss than the non-voter. You are shifting blame to where it doesn’t belong.
This is an evil sentiment and would destroy the modern world.
It's a shame that a lot of telecoms have either ripped out a bunch of the copper wire they had installed themselves or have just not replaced stolen copper after they successfully lobbied the FTC to let them abandon the lines. It'd have been a great way for communities or small groups to set up their own tiny networks.
You don't need anything beyond that. At that point you're basically just keeping score. There is no need and few wants that would be beyond your grasp.
It sounds weird and somehow I don’t think it was communicated that way, even if I wasn’t there. You say he said I don’t want your money unless you follow my ideology? Did he then send you the money back after checking your social media?

Out of curiosity what are his political views? It has been mentioned a couple of times here already and it seems to be part of the story.
Ellison has a desire to be immortal.
Iridium, that is a name I've not heard in a long time.

IMHO, the worst places to be are organizations that were supposed to change the world, but didn't, and don't quite get it.

Your experience totally tracks with that.
