There is precisely one solution, which is western troops on the ground in Ukraine.

Yes that’s terrifying, no it won’t lead to world war three.

Any other solution leads to widespread war across the globe.

As I’m fairly confident the west won’t put troops on the ground to fight russia, you can test my hypothesis by watching china start making moves on Taiwan in the short term, and then further wars breaking out over the next few years. I’ll go with several African countries, the Middle East (Jordan, Iran, Syria, Iraq), turkey, and once the Ukraine situation has settled multiple Eastern European countries. Worst case you’ll see the baltics invaded by Russia, I think there’s a good chance of that. Finland an outside bet.

I may be wrong, but I did anticipate the coup in turkey, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the election of trump.

Enjoy your life whilst you can. Conscription is coming. There will be a lot of western troop deployments. These are the good old days.

They have to buy arms, that don't come without deals.

Not a lot, just a few.

It's like only 2 of of 100 actually.
Azure's anti competitive conduct is also the reason that AWS stopped lowering prices.

Before 2014 or so, AWS would periodically reduce prices on major services passing on falling technology costs.

Azure didn't like that, so they aligned their prices to AWS's, matching immediately the same discounts on the same service.

This is a form a predatory pricing, because the goal is to kill the incentive for competitors to reduce prices, by denying them market share gains when they do.
That’s why I think they are lying
Ukraine was Russia's ally. Russian businesses operated in Ukraine. Russian entertainment was made in Ukraine. There was effectively no borders between Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine was one of the most pro-Russian countries among the post-Soviet countries.

Look what being an ally with Russia brought.
Ohh, AKS. I had the 'pleasure' of using it quite early on, 5/6 years ago. We kept killing it by actually using it with more than 50 pods. You know you see one of few serious users when you get through the 3 layers of support and gets to talk to the actual developers in the US.

But my impression is that it's better now. In general my experience with azure is that the base services, those who see millions of hours in use, are stable. Think VMs, storage, queue etc. But the higher up you go in the stack, the fewer hours of use do they see, and the lower quality it gets.
Trump called Zelensky a dictator in public, did he not? Zelensky, democratically elected, president of a democratic country, invaded by a tyran, a non-democratic and extreme anti-western attitude, was called a dictator. That is hard to understand, until you realise Trump tries to man-handle an extortion deal out of Ukrain...and now because the man doesn't bend over backwards he's disrespectful? That man showed a lot of courage in my book.
You're asserting things you don't know.
> It took years until they were successful.

The 90s were the dark ages of cloud computing. It was the age of system administrator, desktop apps, Usenet, and the start of the internet as a public service. At the time concepts such as infrastructure as code, cloud, and continuous deployment, were unheard of.

AWS, which today we take for granted, was launched on 2002, and back then it started as a way to monetize Amazon's existing shared IT platform.

Of course migrating anything back then was a world of pain, specially when it's servers running on different OSes. It's like the rewrite from hell, that can even cover the OS layer. Of course it takes years.
Thanks.

> They're still broadly referring to "Firefox" with alarming language.

"alarming" is a low standard - people get alarmed because they see everyone else throwing a fit.

They say it's only for "doing as you request with the content you input in Firefox" - how is that alarming?
They're not, in fact. That's the whole point of their business. Where does it say they are tracking anyone - which means recording personal information?
You will sing a different doing when you yourself get vanned. That's how they remove leaders. You can go about with your face in the open when not in direct action.

ACLU and Amnesty are only support groups. They rarely make things happen.
At this point, I believe, it's important to accelerate development of Servo[1], which not only provides better browser security because of memory safety (getting rid of the stupid mistakes like OOB access or UAF), but is also managed[2] by Linux Foundation Europe[3], which gives more hope from the privacy standpoint.

I dunno how to compare stable to stable but I ran Win2k for so long that I got bored with it (something like 5-7 years) and never experienced a single crash. This is coming from a Linux guy btw… so I’m no Microsoft fanboy, just saying, it was as stable as any other stable OS.
I read this as “Failure of Theory for Material Science and Engineering” and had to laugh.

So much of this field involves experimentation and heuristics. As real life is really complicated to model.
I am not the judge of that, but I always felt like I freelanced/contracted out in the fringes. So I am definitely not the average of the industry here.
Low 6 figures is just a dev. If a team of 5 devs has to work on the problem for 5 years, then it will pay for itself in 25 years. Likely beyond any planning horizon of a company with yearly performance evaluation cycles.
SimpleTask Cloudless has been my favourite todo.txt app for Android. Unfortunately, SimpleTask is in low maintenance mode [1], and does not work well in my setup.

According to mpcjanssen: "The suspending of the applications by Google #1102 and the continuously fixing breakage by Android API changes have reduced my Simpletask motivation to a very low level." [1].

As a writer, people thinking about LLms writing a book-length story don’t realise it’s in the wrong problem space.

LLMs can solve equations and write code, like make a React web page.

So they assume “a story is just an equation, we just need to get the LLM to write an equation”. Wrong imo.

Storytelling is above language in the problem space. Storytelling can be done in multiple methods - visual (images), auditory (music), characters (letters and language) and gestural (using your body, such as a clown or a mime, Im thinking of Chaplin or Jacques Tati). That means storytelling exists above language, not as a function of it. If you agree with the Noah Harari vision of things, which I do, then storytelling is actually deeply connected somehow to our level of awareness and it seems to emerge with consciousness.

Which means that thinking that an LLM that can understand story because it understands language is… foolish.

Storytelling lives in a problem space above language. Thinking you can get an LLM to tell a story because you can get it to write a sentence is a misunderstanding of what problem space stories are in.

It’s the same as thinking that if an LLM can write a React web app it can invent brand new and groundbreaking computer science.

It can’t. Not for now anyway.
The war has been in the defensive for well over a year. Yes, I do know this.

Russia just wants to retreat to pre-1922 borders.
I’ve just dropped you a note in the chat. We’re also on Swarm, and dealing with most of the stuff you address, and some more. Would love to contribute to Lunni, if you’re open to that :)
Holy shit I don't even know where to begin with you people. Whataboutism is wild, you can't see dictatorship staring you in the fucking face.

The US is doomed if you seriously believe the crap you spew out onto the internet.
Yes, unless you only care about doing CLI applications using the standard library, or having something to be Webserver endpoint.

Naturally most packages on the ecosystem assume libraries that don't exist outside Apple ecosystem.

Just like in the early .NET Core days, there were tons (and still are, hence businesses stuck in .NET Framework) that were actually wrappers to DLLs and COM based libraries.

Even Swift website acknowledges that the best use cases are command line and server stuff, the sweet spot is for server side applications for developers on Apple ecosystem, after all macOS servers are no longer something Apple sells.
We use managed services, but only those that are managed versions of pre-existing software.

For example, we'll used Managed Postgres, but not Azure or AWS's home grown databases.

Makes migrating much easier.

“Pretending anything else is AGI is nonsense”

Is it? I wasn’t aware of “playing a physical instrument on stage with millisecond response times” as a criterion. I’m also confused by the implication that professional composers aren’t using intelligence in their work.

You’re talking about what is sometimes called “superhuman AGI”, human level performance in all things. But AGI includes reaching human levels of performance across a range of cognitive tasks, not ALL cognitive tasks.

If someone claimed they had invented AGI because amongst other things, it could churn out a fresh, original, good composition the day after hearing new input - I think it would be fair to argue that is human level performance in composition.

Defining fresh, good, original is what makes it composition. Not whether it was done in real time; that’s just mechanics.

You can conceivably build something that plays live on stage, responding to other players, creating a “new work”, using super fast detection and probabilistic functions without any intelligence at all.
You can find the same thing (well, similar) in San Francisco, Oslo, Antwerpen. It's plain refusal to police and hold up societal values.

It will result in a loss of power. Isolation is not a strengthening posture. You need allies to succeed over the long term. This looks like the beginning of the downfall of the United States from every measure.
There is no god of the gaps argument being made. The argument is pretty clear. LLMs are at a local optimum that is quite far from the global optimum of actual general intelligence that humans have achieved.

Some like Penrose even argue that the global optimum of general intelligence and consciousness is a fully physical process, yes, but that involves uncomputable physics and thus permanently out of reach of whatever computers can do.

Can you explain either of your points? What do you mean? Do you have evidence?

For example, whatever one thinks about US immigration policy (I think it’s utterly broken to the point of absurdity), a cursory attempt to figure out the approximate net number of illegal immigrants added during Biden’s tenure comes suggests that the net change was pretty small. It seems that there
has been a trend toward net addition of illegal immigrants in the last few years that (a) is small compared to the total number in the US and (b) started well before the end of the last Trump administration.

I did find plenty of partisan sources trying to shock me with numbers of border encounters that contain many digits, but there doesn’t seem to be much explanation of why this is a useful statistic or to what extent Biden’s administration had much to do with it. (There was a program derisively referred to as “catch and release” that seems likely to have resulted in a temporary increase in “border encounters,” but I don’t see evidence that it had much effect on net illegal immigration.)

As for graft, I genuinely have no idea what you’re referring to.
Yes, the US gets to try to force a Ukrainian surrender, we're all complaining that's a grossly immoral use of power. I don't think the Ukrainians are going to go along with it yet.

I understand that you are joking, but part of the problem with how people talk about this issue is that they are either not serious (you) or are imagining that this conflict is similar to things they have seen in a Marvel comic book movie (most of the rest of this thread).

I think you're grossly underestimating the CPSs ability to misinterpret legislation when it's convenient. On convictions:

> ECHR’s freedom of expression takes precedence

It takes 5 years on average to exhaust domestic remedies. Then another 3 years (on average) for the ECHR to hear your case. Needless to say, you can't afford it anyway.
“whataboutism” is a weak and recent phrase that means literally nothing. Please engage with specifics.

Most Americans would not agree with a 1939 “ascendant dictator in America” narrative and yet you do. I wonder how the “you people” strategy works in your brain? I do not think of HN audience as separate to “my” people. Silly that you do the inverse.
> Trump wants mineral rights in Ukraine, which should help prevent Russia from further invasion and doesn't want boots on the ground.

If that was reasoning. They could just buy those minerals like France wants. This proposal does not want to prevent, but join the invasion.
I agree. Language manipulation is a projection of something higher order. LLMs can shuffle the projection but they clearly cannot go over the gap to the higher order thinking.
That’s not how this works. You made a statement, now back it up.
> [please don't] make it seem like it's their fault, it's not. it's todesktop's fault if anything

What?! It's not some kind of joke. This could _already_ literally kill people, stole money and ruin lives.

It isn't even an option to avoid taking reaponsibility for the decisions which lead to security and safety of users for any app owner/author.

It's as simple as this: no safety record to 3rd party - no trust, for sure. No security audit - no trust. No transparency in the audit - no trust.

Failing to make the right decision does not exempt from the liability, and should not.

Is it a kindergarden with "it's not me, it's them" play? It does not matter who failed, the money could has been be stolen already from the random ones (who just installed an app wrapped with this todesktop installer), and journalists could have been tracked and probably already killed in some dictatorship or conflict.

Bad decisions does not always make the bad owner.

But don't take it lightly, and don't advocate (for those who just paid you some money) "oh, they are innocent". As they are not. Be a grown-up, please, and let's make this world better together.
That is a simplistic assumption. These cities you mentioned have nowhere near the same problem that Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, for example, have.

Brazilian police do overwhelming policing against poor communities and the resulting brutalization only compounds the problem.
> My understanding is that Cosmos has gotten a lot better, but man that left a sour taste in my mouth.

A couple of years ago I stumbled upon a Azure project which started off using the old timey Cosmos DB. Looking at the repository history from those days, I saw a bunch of Entity Framework configurations and navigations and arcane wizardry that would take an engineer months to really figure out.

Then there was an update to CosmosSDK, and all that EF noise was replaced by single CRUD operations that took the unserialized object, id and partition key as input. That's it.

Worlds of difference, and a simple key-value query takes ~10ms to do.

Yes, it's worlds of difference.
Well it's not totally out of nowhere.

Trump got impeached for asking Zelensky to fabricate evidence against Biden by threatening to withhold US support.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_impeachment_of_Donald_Tr...

> The inquiry reported that Trump withheld military aid[a] and an invitation to the White House from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in order to influence Ukraine to announce an investigation into Trump's political opponent Joe Biden, and to promote a discredited conspiracy theory that Ukraine– not Russia– was behind interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Like you, I watched the full hour. I had the same analysis.

There are no winners from an exchange like this. Trump and Vance come across as bullies. Zelenskyy comes across as needlessly argumentative. Trump and Zelenskyy both come across as quick to anger. Not a good look for any of them.
I'd say it's almost a subset. In fact in the introduction it explicitly mentions medical terms as an inspiration. https://www.affixes.org/introduction.html

> It was in the summer of 1995, while my former business partner and I were studying the displays in a medical museum in order to advise how to improve them, that he remarked that one of the things needed to enhance visitors’ enjoyment would be an explanation of the mysteries of medical terminology: the difference, say, between an -itis and an -algia, or between words starting in haemo- and hepato-. That conversation stayed with me. Increased exposure to the complexities of technical language, and to the diversification of knowledge that has led to sub-disciplines such as palaeophytogeography and psychoneuroendocroimmunology, whose names pile element upon element, reinforced a belief that a concise work was needed that interpreted the main word-forming affixes in English.

Azure runs the enterprise. AWS runs the Internet.
I don't agree with your conclusions, but I feel you're arguing in good faith and therefore don't deserve down votes.

I'm not sure America actually has left a lot of money on the table. I see America having benefitted a lot from the post cold war world order (as indeed have most of its allies), and my take is that the kind of extraction of value that Trump has been attempting is at very best only beneficial in the short term.

But again, I appreciate when people with different viewpoints can discuss them civilly, so I gave you an upvote.
I’m in the same boat. To me it’s bad UX. I can never find anything and it just looks way too complex to use. It shouldn’t be this way but as someone that uses Microsoft Entra, I guess I’m not surprised.
Author here, yep, I agree, not a bug, just what you get if you start accessing raw stuff instead of stable interfaces and underlying things change (but in this case it was necessary). I mentioned this in the summary in the end.

My understanding is that with BTF + CO-RE, you'll have the flexibility of building your program binary once and it will work on other (BTF+CORE capable) kernel versions without without needing a recompile. But since I had to use lower level methods for stack & pt_regs access, I had to manually add logic for checking kernel structural differences at runtime.

That being said, I have not yet gotten to test if a compiled xcapture binary can just be copied between machines (of the same architecture) and whether it really works as advertised...
> There's a lot of tracking data

It's meaningless data to you: It doesn't say what you click on, just where and how big the ads are, and how many times you click. It doesn't identify you or reveal anything about you, except that you clicked on some unknown ads.

> It's also silly to suggest that targeting advertising without tracking users needs to be "pioneered". It's obvious that Mozilla could have the browser download this month's list of sponsored search keywords and have the browser check search strings against that list, without going off-device.

These are the words of someone who hasn't done it. Look at the article; what advertisers want and what the privacy-destroying competition does is much more sophisticated than what you describe. For example,

Anonym also has technology that allows ad platforms and advertisers to securely share encrypted impression and conversion data within a trusted execution environment for attribution, causal lift measurement and lookalike modeling. (A trusted execution environment is the secure area of a main processor where code can be run safely and in isolation.)

To be fair, the major ad platforms have long offered attribution and measurement solutions, Mudd said. “But they required the data to come into their system,” he added. “In this world, that doesn’t have to happen.”
> What the ever loving heck... seriously?!

What's so surprising about that? If your CRUD operations take longer to do, and you're doing those to drive a GUI, of course the GUI will lumber along.
I worked with SQL Server a bit, writing a Rust client for it back in the days. The manual is really good, explaining the protocol clearly. That made it really easy to write a client for it.

The problem is that this entire sclerotic industry is so allergic to accountability, that, if you want people to start, you probably have to fire 90% of the workforce. If it were up to me, the developers responsible for this would never write software "professionally" again.
That was the $Trump coin.
Yes, that's my understanding of "Zen 5 also doubles L1D load bandwidth, and I’m exercising that by having each FMA instruction source an input from the data cache." Also, considering the author's other work, I'm pretty sure they can isolate load-store performance from cache performance from memory interface performance.
The data isn't available because PaleMoon doesn't collect any analytic or telemetry data. So they don't know how big their userbase is. (Recently though, I think they have started collecting some data on hardware because they wanted to revamp their code base. See this discussion - https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=30909 - I however don't know how extensive, or persistent, this data collection is / was).
