I'll take your word for it. I lose intuition for how far away the moon is and how much delta - V it takes to get back to earth.

I do think the moon has an advantage from a standpoint that the material is already there. You have to "shoot up hill" to stop the gun from getting loaded.
> No consumer can be expected to do hours of research on every purchase they make and understand the implications of everything.

And yet you expect them to do that research for EVERY APP someone on the phone tells them to install?! That is how scammers walked my grandma through installing a fake banking app on her android phone, and stole all her money. Luckily iOS stops that!

> the consumer will decide what they want to buy

Except people don't actually buy in a way that's consistent with enlightened self interest, making the free market at best a poor approximation to reality.

Consumers buy what's advertised, what's 'influenced', what their friends have and what's shiny, ahead of what might actually be useful for them. Micro-level decisions people make rarely take into account macro-level consequences.

This is not to say I think regulation is an amazing solution to everything, but more that I think there is a religiosity to free-market proponents that credits market participants and markets themselves with more than their due.

Yes, it is absolutely sitting in the casket, and that's probably a good thing, security-wise.

Given it is the enterprise that "cares" about classic Outlook due to legacy COM addins, "new users" don't matter so much as they would deploy the correct version required for their userbase.

Yes, I'm discounting home users or users with their own small tenant, but there are clear and easy ways to get classic Outlook if that is what you want/need.
I'll keep my eyes on this.

Considering now most browsers are either Chromium (including Opera and Edge) or Firefox-based, a new alternative built from scratch will be interesting.
No BAT wasn't the controversey. Unless you count the "Tipping any website but if the website didn't accept BAT it went back into the pool".

The controversy came when it was found out they were inserting their own affiliate code into links. That's scummy.
I’m very excited but how will this survive without some sort of monetization?

In the old thread I see the non-profit was seeded with $1M. That’s 5 good US developers for 1 year. What next?
Bookmarks and tab URLs don’t contain porn, generally? References are not typically considered explicit, though certainly their language isn’t clear enough about that.

If you bookmark a collection of data: / blob: links then that would be the outlier scenario where you shouldn’t use any third-party server-involved bookmark syncing service, as presumably they’ll all either break or ban you once they find you using their bookmark table space for data storage.

Good point about Relay.
They didn’t announce it, the most likely explanation I’ve heard is that the original code is lost, along with Tiberian Sun
TOS has always been a mark of arbitrary service and ownership of all products. None of this is new or surprising.
Which is intriguing in a way, because the momentum I've seen across AI over the past decade has been increasing amounts of "end-to-end"
Enterprises will control which version of Outlook they deploy up to the point, in a few years from now, classic Outlook is EOL'ed for EXO. Until that point in time, Microsoft can set whatever default they want, and enterprises will deploy whatever they want to.
It's going basically fine. If you're in engineering you would never notice the difference.
I LOVE that you let the player tweak those variables in the mechanics. Many of us want to be able to relax with a nice comfy game for half an hour, and "comfy" means setting the difficulty just right.

My partner used to relax with Flipflop Solitaire[1], which lets you choose how many suits there are in the deck. These days they play lots of Balatro with the checkered deck[2].

Thanks, it's amazing how much stuff is out there I don't know about.
The Puritans have been trying to ban porn here since the concept has existed, it's never stopped, and it's never going to stop. They're miserable and they want everyone else to be too. That's like most of their religion. Going to church, being ashamed of bodies, and judging people.
I'm pretty sure there was a weird bug in the original C&C generals where the game engine 'tick rate' was somehow tied to CPU cycles and assumed single-threading or something.

I remember going back and trying to play it many years after it came out, and it was basically broken because the entire game moved at like... 2-3x the maximum speed it was ever meant to run at
I'm all down to write off contract law as "puritanism" but the rot is far deeper than an aesthetic (and frankly I'm unclear how puritanism applies to this situation at all).

EDIT: I'm not sure why porn is particularly interesting here when most internet activity seems to be potentially against terms of service.
Noted that as well. Could be a reflex of swift’s improved memory safety capabilities.
>>Software development consistently ranks among the least stressful jobs you can get and it's really out of touch to compare this profession to genuinely stressful jobs.

I've done 48 hr on-call work days, and a decade back my average sleep hours were like 3 - 4 hrs/day. Needless to say, even the best case sleeping hours are/were 5-6 hrs even till date. Writing code gets as stressful, as it gets.

But I guess you are talking more on the lines of most other professions putting same effort but not getting paid anywhere near we do.

That's a different problem and has a lot more to do with overall life directions, where you started and where you are going than something to do specifically with Software development.
It's against ToS to watch R rated movies.
There is an old project out of Berkeley called BOOM [1] that developed a language for distributed programming called Bloom [2].

I don't know enough about it to map it to the author's distributed programming paradigms, but the Bloom features page [3] is interesting:

> disorderly programming: Traditional languages like Java and C are based on the von Neumann model, where a program counter steps through individual instructions in order. Distributed systems don’t work like that. Much of the pain in traditional distributed programming comes from this mismatch: programmers are expected to bridge from an ordered programming model into a disordered reality that executes their code. Bloom was designed to match–and exploit–the disorderly reality of distributed systems. Bloom programmers write programs made up of unordered collections of statements, and are given constructs to impose order when needed.

OK that does ring a bell. The whole project always seemed a little on the scammy side and I wasn't sure what the browser actually brought to the table that Firefox didn't, so why even check it out?
I use LLMs everyday to proofread and edit my emails. They’re incredible at it, as good as anyone I’ve ever met. Tasks that involve language and not facts tend to be done well by LLMs.
Correction: We're expected to pay for the ride, whether we choose to come along or not.
To anyone on the fence about this --- try it, it's fast.

People have been saying this for as long as I can remember, and it has still never happened.

Probably not

How is it even a pain in the ass now? Because you have to click through one dialog the first time you run an executable downloaded from the web?
This made me look into Firefox forks/alternatives:

Librewolf [1] seems to be fairly active (last commit on Codeberg was last week) and up-to-date with the latest upstream releases (mirrors FF's versioning scheme and matches their latest). Has a nice focus on privacy and no-telemetry.

Floorp [2] also looks active (last commit last week), also claims focus on privacy. Based off FF's extended support releases so it may lag behind in latest features.

Waterfox [3] is also active (last commit a few hours ago), also big focus on privacy, but it uses a custom versioning scheme so I can't tell how closely it follows FF's releases.

GNU IceCat's [4] latest release was in November 02023, so it looks like it may be abandoned.

Does anyone have any experience with any of these, good or bad? With all of them more or less promising the same things it's hard to tell which one may be the better option.

Yeah I responded to that the other day about a recipe app that tried something similar. It allowed people to scan the barcode of recipe books they owned to add the contained recipes into the app. They were busted.
I'm at a loss as to how to proceed from here, given that we seem to have different ideas of how the English language works.

However there's more that also precludes such use as in your example:

> license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact

Mozilla phoning home your bank account details is not helping you do that in any way, so it is not covered. The next part, that we seem to disagree on, only further narrows that down to actual user intent.

You're not indicating that they can have a license to do anything, you're specifically giving them a "license [..] to help you [..] as you indicate".
Is that the proper way in EXO? SPO had individual file replacements. SharePoint stamps were not pave-and-build.
Not an expert, but as a veteran of the Browser Wars, I’m curious as to why?
Neat. Division being iterative makes me feel better about last week when I couldn't think up a good closed-form solution for something and I didn't feel like computing gradients so I just made a coordinate descent loop. It'll be funny if it's still in there when it ships
> Visicalc was first sold October 17, 1979, which is 859 days.

And it still can't answer simple English-language questions.
Ladybird is lucky in that it has someone who knows how important marketing is, even for opensource projects. There are other opensource browser engine projects languishing because of lack of PR, patronage and / or volunteers. For e.g. NetSurf https://www.netsurf-browser.org/ - website is outdated because of lack of volunteers but the project has active development - https://source.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/ (already has partial support for CSS3, and Flex layout). It can develop into a great alternative if it had some more volunteers. Servo (https://servo.org/) is another project but it has some decent PR because of its Rust codebase and the Rust PR team. There's the Goanna browser engine too ( http://www.palemoon.org/ ) but, like Mozilla Gecko, the project isn't truly modular to offer a stand-alone browser engine as Goanna also strives to be an XUL renderer.
> You're essentially arguing freedom is dangerous because some people aren't smart enough to handle it.

When it comes to mobile phone apps, 100%. My mum (77) can just about operate a phone, someone who gained her trust (and scammers are very good at that these days) could likely talk her into installing pretty much whatever, and she'd have no idea what was going on. Her only defence in such a situation would likely be giving up because she didn't understand how to follow the instructions. I also have family with learning disabilities.

The idea that we are all fully able, autonomous, powerful and informed at all times is a fantasy. For some people a locked device is pretty much a godsend.

I'm not saying the fees are reasonable, mind. And maybe there is an argument that apple should sell locked and unlocked versions of the phone or something.
They have examples in the announcement post. It does a better job of understanding intent in the question which helps it give an informal rather than essay style response where appropriate.
But python-rated movies are ok I guess? :)
Wow what the fuck Mozilla. I’ve been complaining about the phoning home on startup and shut down for a long time but this is just disgusting.
Sure but it’s calling those service apis directly. The “hard work” is not being done by the client making those calls. Presumably.
Yeah, that makes sense. We are lucky in that we get to deploy our code to the devices. It’s not really “embedded” in the sense most people use as these are essentially sandboxed Linux devices that only run applications written in a programming language specific to these devices which is similar to Lua/python but the scripts get turned into byte code at boot IIRC, but none the less very powerful/fast.

You work on BMS stuff? That’s cool- a little bit outside my domain (I do energy modeling research for buildings) but have been to some fun talks semi-recently about BMs/BAS/telemetry in buildings etc. The whole landscape seems like a real mess there.

FYI that podcast I linked has some interesting discussion about some issues with PTP over NTP- worth listening to for sure.
If it's anything like the colour wheel television, 1500rpm to get 144 fields per second, which should make 24fps look decent
Ah yeah, what you're saying about memory layouts makes sense to me. I'm writing a custom netcode that sends MessagePack serialized structs over udp. Looking at the raw bytes of the message makes debugging easier sometimes. When things get spooky, the first thing I do is turn off things-that-occlude the struct. Things like RLE / encryption / signing / compression and see if it fixes things. Divide and conquer from there. Series of techniques I honed writing a lidar driver with no documentation on a device years ago. Lot of staring at hex dumps from wireshark. :)

I guess I imagined more challenges in not getting any writes you do stomped by some other code that really wants to set a value on your vec every frame. Maybe I'm overthinking it and it's an easy happy path to get your injection to occur "at the end of the update" where your assignment actually makes it to the screen.

Cheers.
>IBM leadership will give it the RedHat treatment. The dinosaurs at IBM will shelve their IP, and sell it for parts.

As someone working at Red Hat since before the acquisition, this does not match my experience of "the Red Hat treatment" even a little bit.

I don't doubt that they've handled acquisitions badly in the past but they did a decent job leaving us alone.
I agree with everything you say, but I'll say I've definitely observed "the stall" while cooking brisket (which I do rarely) and butt roast (much more frequently). By that I mean, seat of the pants, the temp is going up and up and up and then sits there for a few hours before starting to go up again.

I cook on a kamado, and generally don't have the fuel and patience for a brisket, so I just don't tend to do them. I prefer to just do the whole thing on the fire, but my ideal brisket would probably be ~12 hours in the kamado, then 12 (or more) hours in the oven. But for whatever reason, I just don't like doing that. "Feels like cheating" or whatever. So butt roast and turkey and prime rib are really my go-tos.
Waterfox looks worth a try, but I opted for LibreWolf because it's verified on Flathub and Waterfox is not. It looks like the Flathub version of Waterfox was packaged the same BrowserWorks Ltd that makes Waterfox, but they didn't take the extra steps to get verified so we can't be sure. Hopefully they can remedy that. Browsers are too important to install from untrusted sources.
A Markov chain can't tell you the difference, and an LLM can.
Dead Cells's "Custom Mode" lets you eliminate loads of objects from the set offered, making it much more likely for you to get weapons you want.

It's somewhat unique among the roguelites I've seen in not only offering this but also treating it as valid play: any wins/achievements in this mode (e.g. more BC) will unlock properly.

So, no need to put up with Spartan Sandals ever again!

in my experience, o3-mini-high while still unpredictable as it modifies and ignores parts of my code when I specifically tell it not to do so (e.g. "don't touch anything else!") is the best AI coding tool out there, far better than Claude

so Pro is worth it for O3-mini-high
I hate to say that I am probably in the same boat.

Mozilla is totally out of touch with their users. Going to give LibreWolf a try for a while I guess.

I love it. AWS EFS costs too much. The open source solutions are clunky. I'm hoping DS applied their ingenuity to this one, too. Can't wait to trial it.
No Erlang mention? Sad.
I definitely think it takes a Maxwell to describe the physics behind displacement current (which I think was not around in Maxwell's initial drafts), but the derivations of the four classic Maxwell equations are fairly straightforward multivariable calculus problems that start with fairly simple assumptions. Multivariable calculus was relatively young in his era, but I think a motivated student from the current era could discover it given a summer of thought experimentation.

>I don't think there was much choice when it came to the size of the unit

Yeah, I got the sense the design was intended for smaller on-demand needs versus strategically building out massive datacenters. So, my thinking is that you would borrow from the base idea, but you'd upsize each unit to cut down on the actual number of units (and attendant overhead). Just considering that if you truly are building out a datacenter, you'd probably do better to have fewer, larger units.

On the flip side though, the shipping container format does make it very appealing logistically.

>That smells an awful lot like an apples-to-oranges marketspeak

Yeah, they are no doubt being selective in what they are comparing. That claim has to do with the cost of "connecting [these units] to existing infrastructure".

So, I'm guessing they are assuming infrastructure, then comparing the cost of one of these units to construction of equivalent DC square footage.

1% still seems aggressive, but I could be convinced it's "significantly less". Of course, assuming the infrastructure starts to get murky, since a full DC build is going to be more intertwined with its infra.
I wouldn’t expect the bookmark to run afoul of this clause, since the bookmark isn’t the content. Now it’d be a curious case if the bookmark contained a base64-encoded pornographic image.
Was curious how they get such performance with a FUSE based design. It seems that they sort of cheat, FUSE is used to manage metadata but to get high performance you have to link in the C++ client library and do all your reads and writes through that. So it isn't general purpose, you have to modify your application to take advantage of it. Still, that's a clever trick, and makes me wonder if there's a LD_PRELOAD strategy that could generalize.
For those who are interested, the design was originally published here:

(Chinese) https://www.high-flyer.cn/blog/3fs/

This file system has been developed and utilized by them for several years .

Compared to the traditional file systems, it is more focused on model training that contains a lot of random reads. Read cache and prefetching are useless in this case. Therefore, they designed the file system without those features to improve the performance.

I google translated some key parts here:

3FS is a special file system because it is almost only used in the scenario of batch reading sample data in the computing node during AI training, and accelerates model training through high-speed computing and storage interaction. This is a large-scale random reading task, and the read data will not be used again in a short time, so we cannot use the most important tool "read cache" to optimize file reading, and even advance reading is useless. Therefore, the implementation of 3FS is also quite different from other file systems.

Specifically, as shown in the figure above, 3FS uses the Linux-based AIO and io_uring interfaces to complete sample reading, because in the 3FS scenario, File Cache has no effect at all, but will consume system memory in a way that is difficult for users to control, affecting the operation of subsequent tasks, so we turned off File Cache and only used Direct I/O mode to read data. But it should be noted that when reading in this way, the buffer pointer, offset and length all need to be aligned. If the user is allowed to do this alignment, additional memory copies will be generated, so we have done the alignment inside the file system, which not only optimizes performance but also facilitates users.
Since nobody with expertise is speculating about the reason, here is some speculation from somebody without expertise:

The data-driven approach yields an accurate SM prediction, but the universe and lattice methods agree on a "bad" SM result, due to an undiscovered fact about measure theory and the correct interpretation of path integrals that the implementations of lattice QCD accidentally get right. Since the limit taken by lattice methods have never been proven to equal what we think the right interpretation of path integrals should be, the former could be right when the latter is erroneous.
Oh, I thought IceWeasel had been renamed to IceCat, but the repo you linked to has recent activity and calls it IceWeasel, now I'm a bit confused. Glad to see it's active though.

> Configure your shell to continuously save your history instead of only saving the history when the shell exits. (How to do this depends on whether you’re using bash or zsh, the history options in zsh are a bit complicated and I’m not exactly sure what the best way is)

I attempted this in bash like so:

```
PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a; $PROMPT_COMMAND"
```

But, that meant every shell was sharing the same history. Pressing up would go to the last command run anywhere, not just my current shell.

Sadly, I wasn't even trying to solve the problem Julia is talking about here. I just wanted to make sure my history was saved when I shutdown. Still haven't found a great solution to that. My attempts as using traps and signals caused weird issues.
