> on his political activism

Are you referring to the private one time donation of a thousand dollars as activism?

The bill also won the popular election. So it wasn’t a fringe view.

Meanwhile work chats in big tech in 2014 were open season for literal political organizing and activism.
Can Language Models Falsify? Testing Algorithmic Reasoning via Counterexamples
I don’t align with Elon but I’m not sure that’s true. For example I know someone who’s all in on crypto and abstained from voting in the last election because he didn’t want to vote for Trump but was afraid of what Kamala would do to his crypto portfolio for obviously self serving reasons.

Does that mean he lacked critical thinking skills? I would say no. It means his priorities don’t align with the public at large. If anything people who support Elon potentially lack system thinking stills but I think many of them are thinking critically about what’s directly important to them.
To be fair, you can buy ~3 of these for the price Nvidia charges for 24GB/32GB models.
I see you're one of those people where 'compromise' is a dirty word.

The key is tolerance. Eich's views while distasteful and probably wrong could be tolerated.
God bless you for this sir. I've been wanting to get Windows iscsi boot working, but there's always one more thing. Did you get anything else fun working with ipxe? all the exampled online seem so outdated.
At my job we use Teams, but basically just for meetings (and the associated chat), and it works really well. About the only complaint I could make is that it occasionally guesses the wrong audio devices, but it's fairly easy to change them.

I didn't understand all the hate until a few groups tried pushing the actual "teams" inside "Teams", and goddamn they are bad. They're an awkward and confusing mashup of chat rooms and forums, with conversations spread across different levels and constructs that each receive different levels of UI focus.

Yes they are. Did you read the part about the people doing this and getting 50-100 compromised computers per day? They’re stealing accounts and crypto with these.

Research into how they’re harming people? The research is done. Time to move to fixing it.

This is like saying we shouldn’t wear seatbelts because some people will still die in car crashes anyway.

You don’t avoid improving a situation just because you can’t perfectly fix it globally. You address what you can and reduce the problem.
You can downvote him all you want, but it's true at the core. §202c of the BGB heavily limits what can be done, even by legit researchers, and it's often being critized for that reason.

My thoughts:

I suspect the folks who are interested in the cryptocurrency "ethos" as it was in the Bitcoin Whitepaper are not happy (although I think that ethos is exceptionally naive, I can at least respect it). I think they see the scams as real roadblocks to adoption and just a bad look / way to operate.

I do suspect that the vast majority of the crypto currency "community" are now just motivated by greed and/or other immoral activity like bribery, fraud, crime etc.

So yes I think some of the more thoughtful crypto community are disappointed .. but in reality much (in terms of dollars) of it really don't care.

> You have been nitpicking on minutiae while blatantly ignoring the broader context. What is your stance on Mozilla removing the "we don't sell your data" clause as indicated in other comments?

Why do you care about my stance?

I'm just here trying to correct a misreading of a specific instance of "lawyerspeak" and am not interested in joining some ideological battle where you believe me on the opposing side. It's not my kind of past time. I'm more interested in making sure I fully understand a matter, often by bouncing my interpretations off other people. I could not care less about joining some online brawl and making my side seem right by any means necessary.

What you're bringing up has no bearing on this conversation - it doesn't change the meaning of the sentence people were confused about at all.

That's why I was ignoring these kinds of replies. I just don't care for it.
Calling all Ruby developers and crypto builders
Cancel culture was assuredly the weapon used to silence Eich, but we should not be fooled into thinking that cancel culture was "at fault."

Remember, canceling is a tool. People who want to conceal their real goals use this tool to slander and eliminate their enemies, and that's why we need to end it. But these people don't actually care about whatever values cancel culture purports to uphold - they are just savvy sociopaths. Ultimately these sociopaths all try to do the same thing, which is promote some kind of deception, fraud or graft.

I think Eich was one of the last guys at Mozilla who was dedicated to building a compelling rival to Chrome and preserving a free and open web. And I think these things have not been the mission of Mozilla for a long time. I think that Mozilla is an arm of Google, to know that, all you need to do is follow the money.

Mozilla has been marching to the beat of Google's drum for many years, and when it made sense for Google to claim it wasn't a monopoly, they ordered Mozilla to behave a certain way. Now that President Trump has sued Google, President Biden has won the case, and it's back on Trump to determine the sentencing as Pichai kisses the ring, there is too much power arrayed against Google and they have stopped trying to maintain the lie that they are innocent.

So now Google is deploying new orders to their bootlickers. We will see a variety of changes at Mozilla now that the mask is off.

We should not forget that the prime evil here is the convicted criminal enterprise that is Google.

There is no threat towards Canadian sovereignty obviously. The Riviera in Gaza would be a lot better than the current situation in which its biggest industry is exporting rockets into Israel. Also not territorial expansion as Gaza isn't a neighbour. Imperialism? Yes. But look at the world. It functioned much better in most places when imperial powers controlled more of it. That isn't an excuse for them to invade each other, which never ended well. Also he is just using it as a negotiating tactic with Jordan and Egypt obviously.

Changing the name of some water isn't territorial expansion or authoritarianism.

Solemeni was a terrorist. A dead terrorist is a good terrorist. If you attack a sovereign country then you should expect to be targeted. Fuck around? Find out.

Obama closed Gitmo. He promised to, remember, so he must have. And he withdrew from Afghanistan, remember? He said so in between claiming that marriage was only between a man and a woman. What a hero of the left.

Feel free to tell me I am wrong when I actually am instead of just when your imagination runs wild and you see "authoritarianism" in your cereal. Killing terrorists is authoritarianism lol. And drone striking children isn't?

cryptocurrency fans probably don't like it, since they are the ones going to be robbed and also have to listen to their friends complain about them encouraging them to be robbed, too.

the cryptocurrency industry love it and paid for it because it allows them to do unlimited crime against others with no consequences.

this isn't just a This Term Of Trump problem, either - letting these sociopaths get even richer now means they'll form a new layer of poison in the financial system for decades to come and have enormous influence regulation and politics.
I'm not the person who wrote the block of text there but I will say:

If we look at the word "woke" in a more historical context (rather than its use right now) yes I think you can say it is related to identity politics.

But here's the catch "identity politics" as a phrase is kinda wishy washy as a term when it is used too ;)
These repos post to Discord webhooks to notify of newly compromised systems.

I’ve found Discord to be responsive to abuse complaints in the past. If someone wrote a simple script to download these repos and extract the Discord webhook links I bet you could get Discord to shut down their accounts.

In my past experience Discord was aggressive about this, going so far as to ban the accounts of people who had participated on those servers with clearly illegal purposes. They’ll come back and make new accounts again, of course, but having them lose all of their connected servers, history, and requiring them to update every single one of their malware drops should slow them down considerably.
yes, which suggests they'll keep going down! So I'd expect GPT-4.5 to be 90% cheaper in 1-2 years

US Courts use the Howey Test to decide what counts as a security:

* It is an investment of money

* There is an expectation of profits from the investment

* The investment of money is in a common enterprise

* Any profit comes from the efforts of a promoter or third-party

https://www.findlaw.com/consumer/securities-law/what-is-the-...

If you read further in the SEC statement, they explain why typical meme coins fail the Howey Test.

> [T]he promoters of meme coins are not undertaking (or indicating an intention to undertake) managerial and entrepreneurial efforts from which purchasers could reasonably expect profit.

They should probably be regulated as a gambling game, though, and can sometimes be used as money laundering or bribery, as a way to pay the original sellers without revealing what they’re really paying for.
>However, I do think executive pay should be reined in.

I do too, but let's keep our eye on the ball for a second. CEO pay is not (1) driving Mozilla towards unprofitability, (2) taking developer resources away from critical investments in the browser (3) the reason why the market share is lower (4) a revelation of malevolent intent regarding user data and privacy (5) an indicator of moral equivalence with Google.

It's a vague generality that's barely about anything, but it's half made arguments like these that are driving perceptions in these threads.

Why Amazon Hired a Car Mechanic to Run Its Cloud Empire (2013)
Not to stir anything up, but my own observations have been that it is mostly men falling for the political conspiracy theories and _often, but not always,_ their wives follow them.
Software tech in China is a different landscape. It's really common to reinvent the wheel in China. Almost every big name (Bytedance, Meituan, etc) have their own of everything with both office political and in house need reasons.

The thing is those stuff are so prevalent those in house tech have reach the point they are competitive. This doubles for quant firm like DeepSeek.
Looks bad either way
Competition? The social network market is split between a few big monopolists that will buy up or destroy any new upstart.

And even if we assume a free market, I don't follow your logic. Twitter has vastly more lax moderation since Elon Musk took over and people are LEAVING it. It clearly shows that many users actually prefer better moderated platforms.
Remember, when we're triggered our reading comprehension goes down and we confuse emotion for facts. Did I say they ship more/less code? No, first I was talking about the user base size and the economic incentives for malicious users.

For the most popular package:

Debian: ~253K installs per month [1]

NPM: ~236M installs per month [2]

VSCode: ~158M installs total [3]

Obviously VSCode is hard to compare, but the most popular Debian package would need 52 years to achieve the total VSCode numbers so I'm sure it's safe to say VSCode beats Debian significantly on installs and NPM wins even more convincingly.

Ok, but let's take a look at how much code is shipping which was your metric:

Debian: 242k submissions per month for amd64 [4]

NPM: ~50k new non-spam packages per month, ~800k new version submissions per month [5]

VSCode: No data available

I don't know how VSCode compares, but clearly NPM beats Debian which makes sense because of how open it is and more importantly how many orders of magnitude there are JS developers vs Linux developers and how much more frequently they update their packages because the overhead is lower for creating a submission.

It's really easy to forget that the number of JS developers or people using IDEs is much larger than the number of Linux users. So NPM still beats Debian on this front. As for the security assumption and how good a job maintainers are doing, I'm not so sure on that either. The xz utils backdoor into SSH was found by a Microsoft employee (i.e. the community) not by Debian maintainers. It's not hard to imagine that the lack of notable security issues (particularly attempts recorded) actually indicates very little review, not that there's a higher bar because the maintainers are more talented or have better incentives for "reasons" - there's a reason Chrome was perceived as having better security than IE (it did - architecture was better) and STILL they see regular successful attacks bypassing all the mitigations.

Again, to reiterate in case the above got you triggered again - NPM & VScode have significantly more users than Debian and that creates economic incentives for attackers. The capabilities of a vulnerability matter less unless you're a state actor because capabilities do not track economic results as strongly. This has so much evidence it shouldn't even need this kind of explanation. Remember when people said that Mac had better security? Well turns out Apple is dealing with all the same vulnerability and spam issues on a closed down system when their popularity went up; again, economic incentives.

I'm not convinced that LLMs in their current state are really making anyone's lives much better though. We really need more research applications for this technology for that to become apparent. Polluting the internet with regurgitated garbage produced by a chat bot does not benefit the world. Increasing the productivity of software developers does not help to the world. Solving more important problems should be the priority for this type of AI research & development.

I like text based formats for things. But I find that you need software to help with the maintenance and presentation of such things. Todo.txt and plain text accounting are two examples of this; sure you could edit the plain text but a software system just makes it better to use, especially on mobile.

With that in mind I don't see how this is a replacement for caldav. Sure looking at the plain text of a caldav file is worse, especially one generated by a computer, but at least all expected calendar functionality is included. Though the sprawling RFC is hardly simple to follow or implement.

Claims about the Nvidia drivers on Linux being bad are largely a myth. Nvidia has long been the gold standard on Linux (for decades). The main reason for complaints is that Nvidia was slow to support xwayland acceleration (mostly due to Linux mainline making it harder for them - see dmabuf being GPL symbol exported), but that has since been fixed.
