Mozilla faces a very similar set of challenges as other "umbrella" open source organizations like Apache, MediaWiki, and the Linux Foundation that have notably low overlap with the current boardmembers.
AFAIK this has been tested and failed. Booby traps of any kind are considered unmanned and can not be used as a self defense case. Only an individual human can
legally defend themselves and even that gets dicey depending on where one resides and what they say to the cops. It will be interesting if someone tests this with "AI", I predict that will also fail as it is also unmanned and there is no clear and present danger. Not a lawyer but watched countless videos from legal firms that firearm owners can become members of.

Managed servers are quite a different product, closer to ‘old-school’ shared webhosting.

You don’t get root access, but you do get a preinstalled LAMP stack and a web UI for management.
Depends on the nato country, but most only use if attacked, which makes perfect sense as these where times where the most dangerous country was the udssr for them.

If you where a nato country you had the problem that by the time reinforcment from the usa could arrive, the udssr could potentially be in control of most if not all of europe.

While the udssr didn't really had that concern, as they had more than enough room to retreat, reform and defend.

In such a scenario it's very easy for the udssr to have a no first strike policy when there was simply no way for any european country to invade them, while smaller countries would have had a real concern that they either use their weapons to the full effect or have no chance to do so.

IMHO there is also the substantial benefit that the udssr now knew that any attack meant that they would trigger a war without winners, e.g. they couldn't fight and then retreat to safe bases deep in their territory
There is still Molly as a fork, but no idea how hardened it actually is.

After Moxie's statement at the time I kind of ditched everything regarding Signal's ecosystem. I understand the business perspective of it, but it's kind of pointless trying to say this is open source when it's illegal to press the Fork button on GitHub, you know.

Beyond being just immature and a national embarrassment, this is the most un-patriotic thing a US president has ever said.

And where are the libertarians? Reason.org has a few posts on New Mexico labor relations (arguing on the side of federalism and NLRB control, no less) and nothing about this. No principles whatsoever.

It will be less than months, maybe weeks, before this begins impacting tech. Are you not paying attention? https://www.wired.com/story/brendan-carr-fcc-trump-speech-so...

"Carr authored the Project 2025 chapter on the FCC, writing that the agency needed to prioritize issues like “reining in Big tech” and “promoting national security.” Specifically on his to-do list, Carr says that the FCC should issue an order that reinterprets Section 230 to eliminate the “expansive” liability immunities it provides to social platforms. Section 230 is part of the Communications Decency Act passed in 1996, which protects internet companies from being sued over content that appears on their platforms and has given companies the ability to decide what content can or cannot be posted.

But there is no precedent for the FCC governing online speech, and experts tell WIRED that the agency has no authority to act on Trump and Carr’s speech prescriptions."

If that had an impact on the CEO's behavior, the resulting 2nd order change might be significant.
> I can't even read my own handwriting anymore, I would be incredibly impressed if an OCR can.

An online OCR system like this has more information than you do as it knows stroke order, direction, and possibly timing. I wouldn't be surprised if there are devices that can read writing the writer can't.
I don’t think it’s valid; you would have consumed food and drink either way. Plus, you need to verify the output of the LLM anyway.

I’m sure the police would come to my door, but I could show records of it not really being “my phone number”.

Family plans are pretty common here, so I wouldn’t expect too much friction.

I would absolutely cooperate (obviously through a lawyer) with records if someone else on my family plan did something illegal.

I also have records showing that they pay me for the line.

Also yes, it would be a huge hassle. The probability of that happening is small, and I’m willing to risk it like many other things in life. I only do this for very trusted people.
I like his spartan review but really don't like the Fremen mirage article. With Bret Devereaux he uses the classic ideal of - if all you have is a hammer then all your problems are nails. In this instance he is using the Roman history "hammer" to subdue all issues he disagrees with the Fremen mythology.

I don't think his fremen analogy of tying fremen to contemporary Roman era barbarian tribes works well at all. If you read Dune and know alot about it(I do) fremen would not be a good analogy for alot of the barbarian tribes Rome encountered during its empire formation. For one the whole timeline on the encounter is quite wrong. With Rome you have a very large and technologically superior civilization that encounters and conquerors tribes relatively quickly. After the tribe is subdued they are now part of the empire and must pay tribute through taxes and military service. They do get the added benefits of Roman protection and those that defy the empire and put down quickly and brutally. Aside from this you have religion and technology. The tribes do not have a unified religion and after conquest stuck to their beliefs for the most part but slowly took on the occupiers beliefs. As for technology you have a vastly superior technology(iron age) in Rome meeting bronze age technology which was defeated by iron age Roman technology.

As for the Fremen they are a society apart from the empire and house Atreides and Harkonnen. They live on the world Arrakis in great numbers but do not need to pay any tribute or taxes and are viewed with suspicion by the leaders of both houses(brutally by the Harkonnens). The houses and the empire just want the spice melange and do not really care about integrating the fremen peoples into the empire and using them in other worlds for various jobs. The houses controlled Arrakis for at least 1 thousand years(unsure exactly how long) and there is a quite distinct culture between the occupiers and occupied. With religion you have a unified religion that the Fremen adhere too(discretley influenced by the Bene Gesserit), and fremen technology it is not all about knives and fists. The Fremen control sandworms using hooks and ropes(no other people in the universe know or can do this) and also Paul Atreides introduces the fighters to the sound weapons his house has developed.

I think the more apt comparison of the Fremen is the peoples of Afghanistan. Here you have a people that have never really been conquered, they all tried: (Alexander the great, Soviets, USA) that have a unified religion(Islam) and use contemporary technology(ak-47, missile launchers etc) to achieve stunning military victories against a much larger more powerful foes and occupiers. So the Fremen ideal is not a mirage you are just looking at the wrong cultural comparisons.

It's mis- or disinformation to say that all sides, all people are the same. It's the ultimate cover for people doing wrong - it eliminates any 'wrongness'.

A corrupt politician might say, 'everyone is corrupt'. Now their flaw is wiped away, in a relative sense. But it's not true.
If you don't want to called a duck, stop quacking.
It was fun not knowing who was calling. Also, when you were calling, you didn't know who would be answering. Like you might want to talk to your friend but their mother or father answered. It would create unexpected interactions.

In case this helps with ethical concerns, one way to use LLMs more ethically is to use an open source LLM. For example, AI2 has a model called OLMo (https://allenai.org/blog/olmo2) that is open everything. Their stance is that truly open source models are released with weights, training data, code, and evaluation in full, and thus can be fully inspected and reproduced.

They recently also released an iOS app with a variant of this model, called OLMoE (https://allenai.org/blog/olmoe-app), that uses a small model that can do on-device inference, for private and secure use. Also the app itself is open source.

I took it to mean that agencies no longer have the final say in interpretations of law when it comes to exercising executive power. So for instance if ATF says a banana is a machine gun and the president says "yes", then barring an act of Congress clarifying, it is. I don't see how you go from there to the end of judicial review?
The human being is there anyway and will eat/drink wether you ask them a question or not.

I'd argue the 3 bottles of water are strickly negative compared to a human doing the same.
Without checking out this particular framework, the word is sometimes overloaded with that meaning (LLM personality), but actually in software engineering in general, "agent" generally means something with its own inner loop and branching logic (agent as in autonomy). It's a neccessary abstraction when you compose multiple workflows together under the same LLM interface, things like which flow to run next, and edge case handling for each of them etc.
Probably not for scientific publishing until journals and conferences provide Typst templates as they do with LaTeX. I wish it will happen, to be honest it would be great to get rid of LaTeX. It's old and it shows a lot, a replacement is long overdue.
>I'm shocked at the number of people that are defending government hiring when government jobs have been the butt of jokes for decades. Government headcount needs to be cut drastically.

Or maybe you are wildly off base about how many humans it takes to corral the federal government of the US? Maybe you are more filled with propaganda of government jobs?

Maybe the people like you making government jobs the butt of jokes have been part of the problem? Maybe we should respect civil service and have high expectations of it but also understand how important it is.

You can turn a Rust library into a dynamic library w/ a C ABI - exposing the whole API would be tedious, even with tools like bindgen, but if you just want to provide a "render this char* to PDF" function (or whatever) then it's pretty easy [1].

I know of a few Rust crates that offer something like this - Minijinja, off the top of my head.

If you have a way to just not have those, the way you can just not use trampolines, I would love to hear it.
Over the years NSF, like any organization, has attempted to staff completely to their needs and faced pushback from those that control the funding. Of course that doesn't result in perfect results, but it is somewhat connected to needed staffing levels. A mandate that was written to apply to every agency in the government is totally disconnected from appropriate staffing.

I try to challenge people's concerns with 1 in an even stronger way:

We're seeing evidence that the future power needs of AI may drive our civilization to start a revolution in high tech green energy, such as nuclear. If the power needs of AI end up being 10x the power needs of all other uses for that power, and we satisfy that power requirement using nuclear, then it will be much much easier to phase out heavy polluting sources of energy.

My pipe dream is a terraform-like, delcarative, cross-dialect way to manage database schemas/code.

Sql Server kind of gets there with the .sqlproj and DACPAC stuff but it is quite fiddlesome to setup. I've only seen liquibase as a semi-close alternative in the FOSS space and it really just works with explicitly defined migration chains AFAICT rather than semantic diff and change generation.

I think if anyone is going to bring something like that to market, even for just postgres, it will be SupaBase.
Wow. Scarred?
Nobody labeled Trump voters as "redneck, white nationalists" in this thread. The claim was that Trump and his voters are "Russia-aligned", which is obvious at least for Trump and his immediate admin appointees.

Here is the crux. If during this time they also dismantle the checks and balances that allow a stable democracy to exist then they transition into chaos. Chaos creates a very convenient excuse to establish martial law. This is accelerated if the people rise up to protest the dismantling of democracy. Martial law leads to suspension of elections, ipso facto, the loss of democracy.
I dropped a few hundred lbs on my foot and got my ballerina's fracture. I like "dancer's" better haha. I went to the gym 4 times a week, every week, even in the boot. Just did mostly sitting exercises. It took 4 or 5 months to start to fuse still. :shrug:
Good share, thanks.
Can we get an (easy to use) vscode debugger for plpgsql next?
Okay that's fair. But as I said to autoexec, if your point includes that you don't rely on the encryption to be safe, you should probably include that in your point. A lot of people probably don't share that as a prior. (I suspect that's why autoexec was downvoted and flagged).
Doubtful. While fusion is a fascinating engineering problem and has niche uses, it's unlikely to be competitive in either of the two big energy domains: electricity generation and transport. Fusion requires extremely large, extremely complicated machines that share many of the issues of fission reactors but more extreme and with decades less operational experience. While fusion has better PR than fission, which could lead to some real cost savings from less regulation, it's unlikely to be enough to be cost competitive with a fission reactor of the same output, nonetheless the various other options that have rendered fission uncompetitive. Even with extensive process improvements to reduce cost, the other options will be decreasing in cost at a faster rate due to their wider adoption and lower barrier to entry. It's really tough for artificial fusion to compete with the free fusion reactor in the sky. Fusion will probably make its way into the ecosystem but only as one player, and a minor one at that.
Alphabet is working in tandem with the Ukrainian SBU? Interesting choice, just as the US President has called Zelensky a dictator (and for good reason, Poroshenko, the previous Ukrainian president, has basically said the same thing a few days ago). I wonder how long the Alphabet higher-ups will allow this thing to unfold, or maybe they're not so good at reading the geopolitical tea leaves.
Who said that? We had at least 3 recessions in 30 years.

And what does that have to do with the elite? They don't care about recession. Worst case they move to a new country pending full collapse. They will never own up to the consequences of their actions.

This policy is not the product of unionization. Blaming unions for it makes as much sense as blaming the phases of the moon for it.

Further, "probationary" and "junior" are not the same thing. People who have recently been promoted or changed roles are in this category, even if they've been working for the federal government for decades and decades.

3. Russia keeps their phone on silent while nuclear war breaks out

He’s given society new products and services that didn’t exist before, the option to purchase from those companies, and the tax revenue from those companies (to the tune of hundreds of billions)
The difference is passive. Your phone is constantly pooling for both 4g, and 5g signal. Then using that to pool for notifications from apps.

This is stuff your Nokia didn’t do at the same scale. At best some sms at a significantly reduced polling rate.

My apps auto update in the background. Something my Nokia from 2007 didn’t do.

So there are many passively provided features but by definition they are not obvious to you and as such harder to appreciate.

If you have an iPhone: I use low power mode constantly. I have an automation to use it at 75% or less battery.

Also, I believe you can change the default separator in Settings somewhere.
Yeah, that's definitely another way to solve the issue. Of course, that can add a ton of operational complexity and means that you are responsible for fixing or upgrading the model if and when any security issues or other problems come up. And you can't use OpenAI, obviously.

Do you have a favorite infra for hosting models?

The trip was arranged by famed American broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow, who, according to the 2016 Georgetown University exhibit “Jazz Ambassador Louis Armstrong, Ghana 1956,” “was eager to see what impact the city’s cultural life might have on a performer like Louis Armstrong,” ...

I'd love to know more about Accra's cultural life at the time, that Murrow not only wanted to bring Armstrong but thought it would have such an impact on the musician.
About ten years ago, Ziz participated in a workshop (multiple workshops? not sure) organized by the so-called rationalist community in the Bay Area. Later she was banned from the community, organized a protest against it, got briefly arrested, faked her suicide and disappeared... now appeared again...

She also recruited some of her cult members from the community (not sure which ones).

So, if you want, you can frame it as the rationalist community being a dangerous place that attracts sick people. Or you could frame is as anarchists being violent, vegans being intolerant, or trans women being crazy... because the Zizans are all of that. Everyone is free to chose their own story about them.

It may or may not be important that most rationalists / anarchists / vegans / trans women are not crazy murderers, so maybe the story is mostly about Ziz being Ziz and succeeding to get a few (less than ten) followers.

"While Firefox remains the core of what we do"

Um excuse me? Mozilla has been asleep at the wheel for years, letting Firefox languish while Mozilla plays squirrel with a dozen other things nobody knows or cares about. In fact, I guarantee you that outside of nerd culture, nobody has any idea what Mozilla is. But maybe they have heard of Firefox.

You should be shouting *Firefox Firefox Firefox!* from the rooftops with a massive new ad campaign aimed at growing marketshare rapidly. Then find creative ways to respectfully monetize your enthusiastic fanbase.

This seems like Software Business 101 to me, which is why I am continually mystified you seem unable to grasp these basics.
Pretty different from the blog post, but I've definitely had periods in (and out of!) my career where I learned a ton that weren't super-busy. I got to do some really high-leverage work in a strong environment with great colleagues, and the fact that I wasn't under a bunch of external/artificial pressure let me learn more (and accomplish more!) while still having plenty of time and energy for other things.

Seems like most people really overvalue pressure and long hours, when those are neither necessary nor sufficient—hell, probably harmful—for doing and learning a lot. I'm not entirely sure why, but I expect a cultural "no pain, no gain" attitude is part of it. People want to feel like the pain they went through was worth something, and we're conditioned that anything that's worth doing takes pain, and the two attitudes reinforce each other.

Your phone (primary device) and the linked ones have to share the IK since that is the "root of trust" for you account: with that you generate new device keys, renew them and so on.

Those keys are backed by Keystore on Android, and some similar system on Windows/Linux, i'd assume the same for MacOS/iOS (but I don't know the details) so it's not as simple as just having access to your laptop, they'd need at least root.

Phishing is always tricky, probably impossible to counter sadly - each one of us would be susceptible at the wrong moment.
