We’re (largely) not running OSes from spinning metal anymore, so even if there were some I/O that needs to happen (there shouldn’t be), a second would be an indication that the app was doing it badly. A modern SSD will read multiple gigabytes in a second, if the reads are sequential and you don’t wait for each one to complete before starting another. Unfortunately, we as a species have not figured out the programming tools necessary to make that natural.

I know. I felt like it needed to be pointed out that even on parties that are seen to be more centre-left/left that there is good portion of voters that are opposition to immigration.

This is because I don't think it is as much of a right/left issue like it is frequently framed.
This is already easily solved by using royalty-free music or by licensing pre-made music from numerous publicly available sound libraries online -- with the added benefit of supporting actual musicians instead of plagiarist tech middlemen.
Yup, I've been following along and I also finally got the bugged one by: reopening Change Wallpaper after having closed it with a custom color being selected; and then clicking "custom color".

In a way it's a perfect little example of how a bug can seem obscure to some (most) users/developers but seem glaring and unacceptable to a few (the few who happen to use the relevant feature a lot).
I have zero doubts everyone commenting has read the article. That makes me even more surprised, that some people seem to have conclusions that are in direct opposition to what the article says.

Since, as we all know, the article is about how central planning ruined the UK economy, and the later reforms were not enough to fully unblock it. Particularly, it postulates deregulating housing and making it harder for people to oppose new investments (especially related energy and infrastructure)..
I was in a QA role on MacOS in 2010-2013. There isn’t a QA team, rather each group of developers and EM had a QA embedded with them.
Pretty much. Satya's Microsoft has pivoted to a "cloud and services company", meaning that they're in a shortage of fucks to give about desktop operating systems and applications.
I have some friends over there and they (or their employers) are cutting back on their business expenditures, staffing and overall outlook. The new payroll taxes (unemployment insurance?) are going to bite both employers and employees alike.

Taxes are too high, there's too much red tape for businesses and successive governments have failed to invest in anything outside of the "south" (e.g. Greater London). I was (half) joking with them that the "north" would be far better off if it seceded and joined Scotland!
NixOs is built on Linux kernel, Fushia is built on a new (micro-ish) kernel called zircon, they are not interchangable.

They are working on some components/layer to run things from Linux, but you would not expect all things built to work directly or as well as thing designed from the get-go for Fushia in mind.
The deeper problem might be that they gave up on fighting inequality; which would give regular people enough breathing room to make changes on the margin.

Without that, the argument is basically "We know that life is barely worth living, but we aren't going to help with that. Instead we want to make your life even worse to save the environment!"

Not necessarily. You could argue that you want coal and gas to be expensive so that people build out renewables. But the places with the cheapest electricity generally have hydro, nuclear or wind, which are all zero carbon.
Saying i7 is basically the same as saying you've got a car with 4 wheel drive.

It doesn't say if the car is from the 60s or from a few years ago.

You don't want to know if it's i3/i5/i7/i9, that's essentially useless.

What you want to know is which generation it is.

For example:

Looking at a 1st gen i7:

- The i7-920 released in 2008 which only has 4 cpu cores and runs at 2.66ghz

Compared to a 14th gen i7:

- The i7-14700k from 2023 which has 20 cpu cores, 12 of which can run at 4.3ghz and 8 of which can run at 5.6ghz.

--------

Basically the way the intel naming scheme has been is:

"<i-number>-<gen-number><inter-gen-number><optional-letter>"

- i-number (i.e. i3, i5, i7, i9) means rough idea of which features are included. For example: i3 is basic functionality, i7 will mean hyperthreading (although competition from AMD meant that this feature started become standard on all cpus)

- gen-number: (i.e. 1st gen through to 14th gen) means basically what version the chip is. Kind of like an iPhone 1 vs an iPhone 14, big difference at the start then only incremental differences about 2/3rds of the way through.

- inter-gen-number: (e.g. 400, 770, 900, etc...) means basically how good the chip in this generation is compared to other chips in this generation. Kind of like iPhone vs iPhone Pro, vs iPhone Pro Max.

- optional letter: (e.g. nothing, K, F, etc...) means basically any other info you should know about this chip. For example: "K" means the chip can be overclockable (runs hotter and requires more electricity for better performance), or "F" means the integrated graphics on this chip doesn't work so it's getting sold for cheaper and you'll need an external graphics card to see things, etc...

So the i7-14700k would be:

- i-number = i7

- gen-number = 14

- inter-gen-number = 700

- optional letter = k

A 14th-gen i7, which will be more powerful than an i5-14600, and a "K" on the end meaning it can be overclocked so we'll charge a little more on this chip.
When you upgrade MacOS 15.3.0 apple automatically enables Apple intelligence and then turns on Apple intelligence reporting (15 min intervals) by default.

You are not prompted or asked to enable.

After disabling Apple Intelligence when you do the next mini update to 15.3.1 Apple intelligence is enabled.
Again no prompt and your previous choice to disable is ignored.

This IMO is a bad sign for Apple software quality. Looks like they are moving to more dark user methods seen in Windows 11.
I wouldn't (and didn't) say "easy" just "easier". The thing that makes rust concurrency so gnarly to work with is the lifetime battles you have to do in order to make it work. That's still better than C/C++ because you aren't dealing with accidental memory corruption when the wrong thread frees memory at the wrong time.

For languages like rust/C/C++, thread safe data structures are VERY hard to pull off. That's because tracking the lifetime of things tracked by the data structures introduces all sorts of heartburn.

What GCed languages buy you is not needing to track those lifetimes. Yes, you can still have data races and shared memory mutation problems, but you can also write thread safe data structures like caches without the herculean efforts needed to communicate with users of the cache who owns what when and when that thing dies.

The best that Rust and C++ can do to solve these problems is ARC and a LOT of copying.

The larger drones are having an effect too. Ukraine as of mid feb had taken out about 10% or Russia's refining capacity and it's ongoing - the Ufa oil refinery was hit a day or so ago which is one of the largest in Russia and 1300 km from Ukraine. And of course their naval drones have had quite an effect on Russia's warships.

The issue is there is currently no mechanism for end consumers to moderate their behaviour based on energy related emissions.

Currently if users as a group demand more power than clean can provide, dirty gets turned on and everyone pays the highest cost.

We need a way for a consumer to be able to commit to only clean power, potentially at a lower cost but with limited supply.

Not at all. Much or almost all the Foundation does benefits Firefox. (I think putting Thunderbird in the same sentence is an exaggeration of its importance.)

That's a big leap. Salary expense would be their biggest item, I would guess.
Just want to say thanks for this -- I hadn't seen it before, and it touches effectively on a number of practical criticisms I have of Tailwind plus some I hadn't articulated yet.

And I'm really glad it brings the context of web craftsmanship into this, I think it's related. As I've argued elsewhere in-discussion, a fair portion of Tailwind's appeal probably comes from the way it fits with the "grain" of business web dev culture, which itself is driven by product management culture oriented around conversion metrics (often wielding iffy A/B testing) and rewards for bikeshedding. The benefits of craftsmanship or systematic design are less legible and so design direction and front-end tasks tend to be one-off screen-by-screen and pretty churn-y. Semantics are an afterthought and invisible to most stakeholders, attempts to systematize are often seen as irrelevant if not obstacles to business goals.

Tailwind just gives up. Give the business and its agents what they want, get through your task list, and find somewhere else to care about the subtleties of quality.

> Why do many people assume that if someone thinks differently about a particular political issue they must have fooled somehow?

politicians sometimes lie…?

the £350 million a day bus springs to mind as one example. the amazing trade deals which will unleash our new economy were another.

like, those things sound great. people wanted those promises to become real and believed the people who were saying those things could implement them.

turns out implementation is sometimes a lot harder than waving your hands and making a bunch of promises.

edit —

especially when the advertised numbers are factually wrong, and people know they are wrong — i.e. they lied.

> A study by King's College London and Ipsos MORI, published in October 2018 found that 42 percent of people who had heard of the £350 million claim still believed it was true, whereas 36 percent thought it was false and 22 per cent were unsure.

It's disingenuous to pretend Brexit wasn't at least partially motivated by in-group preference. Almost as disingenuous as implying that there's anything wrong with having said preference. I don't open up my house to people I don't know regardless of their potential to contribute to it economically. Why is this treated as immoral when the same reasoning is applied to the immigration system?

Possibly. But difficulty fixing large problems doesn’t exclude incremental progress in other ways. Changing national policy is hard. But stuff in your city? State? A lot easier to make tangible change.

In the last decade I’ve seen big improvements in housing policy and zoning laws in my municipality. There are ongoing efforts to shift more of the local energy grid to renewables. This won’t make a big difference in the grand scheme of things, but it does improve things locally and chips away at the larger issues.

It’s easy to lose hope with all the huge problems we see, but no one person can fix climate change, economic inequality, the cost of food, etc. It’s good to hear folks like you were fighting the good fight, just remember you aren’t alone and it’s not up to just you. Keep the hope and optimism alive if you can, we need it more as things get harder.

I have a Telegram bot that will basically return URL results from libgen [0] and that always gets taken down because there is always that same entity complaining about copyright infringement.

Telegram contacts you with this:

> We kindly ask you to contact the copyright holder via email ** to resolve the matter.

After that, they will send you another warning a few weeks later with the same message and then they will take down the bot.

On one hand this is impressive, and I've been wondering when something like this would appear. On the other hand, I am -- like others here have expressed -- saddened by the impact this has on real musicians. Music is human, music theory is deeply mathematical and fascinating -- "solving" it with a big hammer like generative AI is rather unsatisfying.

The other very real aspect here is "training data" has to come from somewhere, and the copyright implications of this are beyond solved.

In the past I worked on real algorithmic music composition: algorithmic sequencer, paired with hardware- or soft- synthesizers. I could give it feedback and it'd evolve the composition, all without training data. It was computationally cheap, didn't infringe anyone's copyright, and a human still had very real creative influence (which instruments, scale, tempo, etc.). Message me if anyone's still interested in "dumb" AI like that. :-)

Computer-assisted music is nothing new, but taking away the creativity completely is turning music into noise -- noise that sounds like music.
Now tell us how you feel about windows.
Hey Ryoo, thanks for the question.

Right now, we have a set of “industry presets” where we have preloaded keywords and context for different industries (GPU, LLM, GPT for AI, for example).

Over time, we want our users to build upon these preset terms, for example, automatically adding the terms mentioned in different meetings. There is a challenge here—how do we add terms that may be mispronounced or that the LLM may have mixed up? I think having the context of their conversation and their base documents for these conversations could definitely help.
I thought only MS was doing that. I have over 25 admin on/off switches for copilot in the M365 ecosystem that were forced ON in the last year. On the power platform- The authorized consent to move data between regions for ai was AUTOMATICALLY set to YES also and it was sending prod data around to read it and give advice. I guess they sneak it in with some EULA update.. When I open tickets I always get sent to the wrong copilot team because they cant keep track of it and I have to go through a forced AI agent before opening tickets also now. The rushed updates broke a lot of their own JS and its been a bad bad year with over 200 hours wasted on this since last year where I normally spend less than 40 hours a year with such nonsense.
> Is it really consent for those artists signing to labels when only three companies have total control of all music consumption and production for the mass market?

This premise is false. I have made plenty of money busking on the street, for example. Or selling audio recordings at shows.

> {o be clear, artists absolutely have a right to benefit from reproduction of their recordings.

This is correct. Artists benefit when you pay them for the right to reproduce. When you don't (like what you are doing), you get sued. Here's a YouTube video covering 9 examples:

> Aren't higher energy prices exactly what we need to combat climate change though?

No.

What you need to combat climate change is cheap green energy, and "green" is just a different question entirely to "cost".

If you have expensive energy, regardless of how green it is or isn't, you get poverty.

If you have greenhouse-gas-emitting energy, regardless of how cheap or expensive it is, you get climate change.

20 years ago, all the green energy was expensive; now, green energy is the cheapest around.
Nope. It is my implication that they are sitting on a large pile of money and getting away with ripping people off, on top of tax breaks and a lifetime of indentured servitude for anyone foolish enough to take the bait.
I think the issue is the difference between positive and negative reinforcement. positive reinforcement with money may attract tainted blood, but negative might not, unless you count blood borne diseases which predispose to suicide.

Suppose you were to legalize euthanasia for blood donors. i.e. you could earn the right to assisted suicide after 5 years of regular donations, no questions asked. That way the religious lobby gets shut up because the blood is maintaining the population rate and the chronic mentally ill like myself can have a comfortable exit.
