I think I'll pass this time. Merrill DP2 is still my favorite camera, maybe when (if) they release their next Foveon sensor camera in a few years it will be tempting. But judging by the design trajectory, it will be shaped like a tetrahedron or something.
> Most of the big CEOs appear to be CEO of multiple companies (Musk and Bezos come to mind).

Most big CEOs are definitely not in charge of multiple companies. You hear about Musk and Bezos because they’re all over the news, but they’re all over the news because they’re not normal CEOs.

It’s well known that Musk’s relationship to his companies is primarily one of ownership and delegation. Bezos hasn’t been in charge of Amazon for a long time but people conveniently forget that at every opportunity.

> it really doesn't seem like it can be that hard of a job.

It’s funny how often I hear this about AI replacing jobs, with one exception: Everyone who repeats it is highly confident that AI can replace other jobs but once you get to the work they do they’ll stop and explain why it’s actually much harder than you think.
The whole back half of the post is about why the analysis is not as simple as you suppose it is. We had no trouble establishing at Chancery Court that schemas don't endanger security. That's not why the case failed at the Illinois Supreme Court. The IL Supremes did not decide spontaneously that schemas actually are dangerous.
I like the case. Nice and compact, and the swappable tiles are cute. If the case works well with non-Framework Mini-ITX motherboards I'd be tempted to pick one up.

The innards, however, are disappointing:

- I get the explanation for why soldered RAM was necessary, but that's still pretty darn close to a dealbreaker for me; I'm inclined to wait for a future motherboard revision without that limitation

- Only two Expansion Cards is vastly fewer than what I'd expect from a "Framework Desktop"

- The lack of a dGPU is unfortunate for a desktop

If I were to design a Framework Desktop, I'd replace the entire rear panel with nothing but Expansion Card slots. Literally as many as will fit; fucking fill it to the goddamn brim. And then throw in some USB4 headers to connect to even more Expansion Card slots on the front. I want a terrifyingly large number of Expansion Cards. More Type-C ports than any computer has any business having, and then even more. I don't just want people questioning my sanity; I want it to be known, plain as day, that I have gone certifiably batfuck insane.

I'd also expose the same Expansion Bay interface as the Framework 16, and offer a desktop-grade GPU in that form factor (presumably too thick and power-hungry for a laptop, but if a Framework 16 owner wants a laptop with a dummy thicc dumptruck of an ass and 30 minutes of battery life, then who am I to judge?).

And air-cooling? So 20th Century! Good opportunity as any to make liquid cooling a mainstream option.
I feel there was a real mental block (that Linux partially helped destroy, mind you) that "real computing" couldn't be done on "commodity chips".

Some people are protesting against this law by threatening to shut down their websites or by deleting content. The founder of lfgss explicitly said they’re against the law on principle.

I think historic content is very valuable which is why I am offended by this absurd response on hacker news where people are conflating the actions of a protest with the consequence of a law.

If someone chooses to protest this law by deleting their website then more power to them but we must be honest about what it is: protest.

People should be considerate about the consequence of the services they release onto the internet. We can debate the specifics of whether certain requirements are reasonable/fair/beneficial but it’s patently absurd to label choices these website owners are making as being caused by this law. The law has zero to do with historic content, there’s not a single risk to anyone who leaves a website online in read only mode as an archive.
Again, you're a Kantian and I'm not. Your arguments do not sway those who aren't, as I said, they are fundamentally different moral philosophies. If you cannot produce even the evidence of harm as you previously stated (please, link me suicide news reports directly caused by piracy, as you claimed) then "your position isn't worth listening to" either.
Civil code law uses that way of thinking, where there are specialised courts for different areas: administrative, civil, labor, family, commercial and so on. I actually am not so sure it is great as these courts increase the depths of the bureaucracy to the point of being self serving. They also serve to segment expertise.

To change things you have to hold power, analyzing and critiquing make no change while the internal culture and incentives don't change.

There's no false equivalence. The sort of change you want almost always requires a change of control. i.e people inside .

If you think you're above being inside, it's not any morality nonsense. It's a lack of desire to effect change. Like in Ukraine, the guns won't shoot themselves.
Well, that's one way to ensure international sporting events won't be hosted in the United States.
Depends. If it is for writing documents, you really don't need a lot of 'technical writers'. For managing engineers? Honestly a competent staff engineer can replace 2 PMs.

For writing code with PMs replacing Engineers with AI assistants? Very unlikely, even if they try as soon as you get to the question on maintaining an existing codebase, this is where LLMs begin to hallucinate more and struggle.

The typical PM won't know that they generated bad code. You still need an engineer to detect that.

This is a obvious bubble repeating like it's 1999.
They can get screwed down by an internal screw. They explained that for this specific use case in the linustechtips video.
>What difference does the beliefs of a nameless engineer at an AI company make?

Hopefully a manager and proper task scheduling. If I made these promises every sprint and kept saying "yea the task is only a week away from completion!" I'd be fired unless I fell down the rabbit hole to Alice in Wonderland. I'm using good faith to assume a lot of those AI engineers are smarter and better schedulers than I am.

But that's what managers and proper scoping and perspective is for. Maybe they're okay with that, but I'd wager any profit motivated company would not keep exploring unless the gains are enormous.
Framework’s current policy in Asia—limiting deliveries solely to Taiwan—warrants reconsideration. Due to these restrictions, I had no choice but to purchase Apple products instead. To prevent further customer dissatisfaction, Framework should re-evaluate its shipping policies.

I understand that Framework’s logistics cannot match those of major retailers like Amazon or AliExpress. However, many customers rely on freight forwarders to access products from other countries. It is deeply disappointing that Framework does not allow shipments to these intermediaries, as they are a common and well-established workaround for limited international shipping. Given the widespread use of such services, excluding them seems unjustified.
Science is ultimately rooted in logic, and I'm not sure why so many people forget this. We seem to pretend that we can evaluate every possible claim in a complete vacuum, and that it's somehow pure to ignore any sort of logic or prior knowledge when we do so. But this has never been "how science works", nor how humans work. Science operates on top of the logic and knowledge that we already have about the universe.

So if I claim that there is a Flying Spaghetti Monster roaming around our solar system, and it is 1000x larger than our sun, emitting a divine brightness so intense that it would burn the eyes of all who gaze upon it, you're 100% justified to say "no there isn't. We would have seen it."

"Aha!" I say, "but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence! Therefore you can't say anything at all about whether there's a supermassive superluminal Giant Spaghetti Monster!". That is absolute nonsense.

> you cannot say its existence is more likely based on lack of evidence for it

If its existence would imply evidence, then you absolutely can judge its likelihood based on whether that evidence exists or not. And you can also judge its likelihood based on a reasonable extrapolation from prior knowledge, by the way. Yes, it is more likely that there is a 10 kg rock orbiting Neptune than a 10^20 kg Spaghetti Monster, even though we have not directly observed either one. We understand the mechanisms by which a small rock comes to orbit a planet. We see that kind of thing all the time. It may be difficult to formalize some of these priors, but that's a failure of our formalisms, not a mandate that we must not use that knowledge when doing science.

Real-talk: using an LLM for CEO-work makes sense for when hard, rational, decisions need to be made (e.g. new divisions, layoffs, expansion, etc) - but CEOs also need to be a leader and inspire confidence in their subordinates - a non-human agent with non-human motivations simply can’t do that.
So you mean the filetree and file contents, as seen by userspace program?

It's meant to be imprecise, because they didn't want some "gotcha." If they say we won't reveal the disk layout, technically you can't tell that from the filetree. If they won't reveal the filetree, but this is SQLite, it's always a single file. If it's file tree + contents, well the CPU byte endianness might matter for some DBMSes, even though you could just try both.
I feel like I agree with you - AI is great if you're a seasoned, experienced person within the domain you are asking help for. If you're not, there is no way to know if what you are getting as feedback is accurate or not.

I feel that eagles that can fly large distances are in a different category from land animals, which have greater pressures to adapt their lineages to particular geographic ranges, to specialize within the species.

Of course hatred, bullying, etc. is real -- what I was referring to is some special amount or abundance of it as caused by free discussion on the internet (rather than, say, revealed by it; or even, minimised by it).

We're not running the counter-factual where the internet does not exist, or was censored from the start, and where free expression and discussion has reduced such things.

The salem witch trials are hardly a rare example of a vicious mob exploiting a moral panic to advance their own material interests -- this is something like the common case. It's hard to imagine running a genocide on social media -- more likely it would be banned as "propganda" so that a genocide could take place.

We turned against the internet out of disgust at what? Was is the internet it itself, or just a unvarinished look at people? And if the latter, are we sure the internet didnt improve most of them, and hasnt prevented more than its caused?

I see in this moral panic the same old childish desire to see our dark impulses as alien, imposed by a system, to destroy the system so that we can return to a self-imposed ignorance of what people are really thinking and saying. It's just victorian moralism and hypocricy all over again. Polite society is scandalised by the portrait of dorian gray, and we better throw the author in jail .

> “No, no,” she said. “Engineers aren’t allowed to edit the prompts. It’s only the PMs and domain experts who do prompt engineering. They do it in a custom UI, and then the prompts are committed to the codebase.”

This feels like a desperate power grab.

Why can’t engineers be involved with the prompts? Why aren’t they allowed to do things like automated A/B testing or to implement ideas from papers they’ve read?

Banning engineers from prompts altogether feels extremely arbitrary. If this was a healthy relationship they’d at least say the engineers and PMs work together on prompts.

Banning them is just politics.

It's been awhile since I skimmed the proposal. What I remember is that it was "just enough" to be compatible with Javascript; but didn't have the hooks that C# needs. (I don't remember any mentions about the JVM.)

I remember that the C# WASM team wanted callbacks for destructors and type metadata.

Personally, having spent > 20 years working in C#, destructors is a smell of a bigger problem; and really only useful for debugging resource leaks. I'd rather turn them off in the WASM apps that I'm working on.

Type metadata is another thing that I think could be handled within the C# runtime: Much like IntPtr is used to encapsulate native pointers, and it can be encapsulated in a struct for type safety when working with native code, there can be a struct type used for interacting with non-C# WASM managed objects that doesn't contain type metadata.
I imagine it includes things like .DS_STORE.
I don't think Trump cares who someone like Sam gave money to in the past. Do you?

Checked it on something without any life impact - Minecraft base locations. Seems to work well. The biggest problem exists with elements on Pareto front - so I have to decide between good in one thing and good on another thing instead of good and worse. But pairwise comparison still helps to determine which tradeoff is better for me.

I disagree. Modularity is good, but if there are real technical reasons why it is not possible (like in thise case), then it could be a worthwile compromise.
Even better! Trump gets to use the "backslider comes back to Jesus" style narrative. But there's an early taker advantage, too many people sucking up for advantage, and it's just commonplace.
> "What’s your estimate? No, that won’t work"

That's a different problem though. The issue isn't that estimating the project is useless, it's that you work with people who don't respect the estimate and think it's a negotiation.

I get that you're saying that in that situation the only winning move it to not play, but that issue you're identifying isn't actually an issue with the estimate itself.

> If you’re trying to control ROI and manpower, you tell us what date ranges work for the org and we figure out what we can fit in that time

I get what you're saying and it's a valid suggestion, but personally, I find it better to work the other way. Engineer estimates a best case scenario with all the bells and whistles and then it becomes a discussion with stakeholders as to what can be cut to fit the timeline.

The reason I think that is better is because most of the time features that an engineer priorities may not align with what stakeholders priorities or there maybe tradeoffs a stakeholder is willing to make once they see estimates. For example A stakeholder may say, I really want it to do X, so the engineer comes back and says X will take 2 months to build and that's that, but if the stakeholder has the full project estimate in front of them, they might go, I really wanted X, but it looks like we can do A, B, and C in the same amount of time as X and those three things combined would be more impactful than X, so let's do that instead.

Again, you're suggestion is totally valid and I'm sure many people do it that way, but I've gotten better results the other way.

I'm wondering if shifting frequency chirps like LORA uses would work in audio frequencies?

It makes sense to have global defaults specific to your machine if and only if your workflow (editor, personal tooling) creates files that you don't want as a part of any project. Things like vim or emacs temp files, macOS's DS Store files, etc. This doesn't apply if your team uses standardized editor configs.
Might be interesting to folks in this thread - I'm working on a CLI tool/language which aims to let people write better scripts, more easily. It integrates well with Bash if it's needed, but lets you to avoid writing whole scripts in Bash and particularly some of the more painful aspects like arg parsing.

This applies to modifying a byte. But inserting a byte will change every block from then on, and will force a rewrite.

Of course, that is true of most filesystems.
Out of curiosity, could you ask for something like "one row of data from every table in the CANVAS database"?
The way to analyze this is using pixel density: 1900x1200 on a 12" display is only 187 PPI, which is frustratingly below the "retina" range at the usual distance of a laptop screen (much less a tablet one, and this one is part tablet). The resolution you want for a 12" screen is 2560x1600, which is also 16:10 but at a much more usable 251 PPI.
Most engineers are bad at writing documentation. They are so blind at writing badly that they won't even realize their writing is bad. I've reviewed a large number of design docs, and the average quality is so bad that the doc reviewer will just reply with many comments and requests for clarification. AI can fix things like grammar and phrasing, but it won't be able to fix the context that's missing.

Managing engineers is not the job of PMs anyway. PMs are supposed to manage projects, not people.
Apple "Intelligence" gets its own category in 15.3.1.
Cursory look at the docs:

sh.ls("-l", "/tmp", color="never")

Oh dear - no. A lot less ergonomic than "ls -l /tmp".

If all you want is a convenient way to call commands from Python scripts, sh makes sense. The benefit of xonsh, though, is that it is a shell :-)

So, for example, if you want to have a fancy prompt, you can use Python functions to construct your fancy prompt. If you want to manipulate your $PATH as a list (or any similar environment variable), you just treat it like a Python list and do whatever you want with it.

I often write simple conditionals/for loops right on the prompt (not via a shell script). I use the Python syntax, but call whatever command I want and manipulate it.

And it's really handy that the shell prompt is a Python prompt - you can import any Python library and play with it. I never run "python" to get to a Python prompt. I have it available at all times. I want to look at a docstring for a standard Python function? I just do it at the command line.
