Are you lazy, or just afraid of facts?

I provided a reference refuting your assertion that federal workers are lazy. You don't appear to have anything to back up your position, or you world have replied with it. Instead you tried to steer the discussion in another direction. Lame.
Nice. When I opened their homepage, I could not find anything obvious that shows they are owned by IBM. Literally, I had to search the HTML source code to find the sequential characters "IBM"!
I really enjoyed “The Firm”.
I love that gene played many different roles but always felt familiar enough, yet serious.
It’s not. When you are a high frequency trader and you’ve mastered RDMA, everything around you looks slow. You are thinking in terms of 20 nanoseconds intervals, while everyone around still thinks that serving a query under a millisecond is fast.
I hear you. I'm 43 with 2 school age kids. And work for myself. And 3 of us. So it's uh, busy, always.

It's more of a resource question. I tend to keep my hardware around for a long while. I like to repurpose it for various little things. A have a netbook grabbing sdr data in an outbuilding and shuffling data to living room server to be processed (goes weather). Server is an old Dell workstation. Etc.

My worry is the 2 i5 iMacs I have upstairs. Old, yes. Upgraded to the extent they can be? Yes! Useful hardware? Honestly, yeah.

Except they can't get newer versions of osx, this the cricut machine will not work on them. This I have to use parallels z with windows , to make the 27" iMac use the cricut because... Osx can't be upgraded. (Brave browser has hit its point too).

With the old stuff it's fine because I figure I'll eventually put some sort of Linux on it and have a useful thing, still.

The new m* looks so nice. And quick. And sleek. And I just fear 5 years down the road, when it's still nice, and fast and sleek but you can't even open a webpage because safari will not upgrade, and the world slowly crumbles around the hardware, which becomes.
. Useless.

So it's not so much personalization but being able to just continue using that of which was purchased. I've been buying pixels because of the same reason. Maybe I won't keep it for forever, but I upgraded from a pixel 3 last year and that's only because I broke a BMS wire behind the battery and said "well, a new phone is cheaper than a new house when it burns down because I'm a cheap ass".

So, does one sacrifice some new shiney to have a device that you still can use if the apple gods (or whomever gods, it all seems to be forced obsolete).

Huge blabber rant, but it's such a weird market now it seems like. No problem going ARM on apple, just wish Linux efforts seemed to be heading in a more positive direction (hector, quit? Future? Unknown?).

ARM on 'wondows' seems like a not great idea, expecting weird sdr software to not work ,etc.

So that leaves paying decent $ for perhaps a lesser product..like a framework, but one that may last a longer time. Or at least work as long as the hardware works.

What do people do when faced with such (first world) things.
I'll take that as an admission that you didn't even bother to look.

The spec only has the power it does because of the market share of Google’s browser though. More people using independent browsers means less power by google to single-handedly control the spec.

Please don't put words in my mouth. I'm not conflating popularity with good design, in fact I haven't said anything of the sort.

And sorry but the other half of your message has nothing to do with what I wrote.
There is a difference between claiming something isn't fine art, versus claiming it is a specific type of an art form, though? I'm open to saying you can defensibly make some claims, but that is a different argument from saying that indefensible claims are acceptable due to the artist's deign.

To that end, I would expect an argument against something not being a haiku for having literally no intersection with what it meant for haiku in any language. Not even a seasonal reference. (Though, I confess I did consider throwing one of those in. :D)

Rephrased, this isn't a question of whether a shared essay was artistic. The question is if it is a poem. Well, my question is what separates a poem from prose. But, I think those questions have a shared answer here, as I don't think all shared essays are poems. To that end, I'm genuinely curious what sort of criteria you would have here. Note that, just because I don't think something is a poem, doesn't mean I don't see it as art. Creative essays are still creative. And prose can have a poetic feel, still.

Back to your examples earlier. Yes, rock-n-roll versus country can have some blurs. I don't think that would stop people from rejecting any random album as a country one, if it doesn't at least have some sort of attributes we associate with country.

Now, specifically to your point, I don't necessarily think you should force categories, either. So, if Beyonce doesn't want to say her last album is a country album, I'm fine with that.
Thanks for the question. We will write a comparison post for it.
I don't have to grant Word a license to what I type in it. This is a highly unusual clause that other software doesn't have.

When software has to "phone home" to deliver the functionality you requested, then two things happen: One, a number of privacy regulations kick in, and they need to get you to agree to send your data to them. Two, they now get to move your data out of your control. I mean, you trust them today, so here's hoping they don't ever get hacked or hire someone untrustworthy?

It's sad when even to use the basic features of a web browser, you need to agree to send them your data. It's not fundamentally necessary to send your data to Mozilla or their partners in order to load and render a website. It's a dark pattern to obtain consent to collect your data "when it's necessary", and then rewrite your app to make it necessary.
Virtually everyone living in a developed country has resource security to do this. Even in America, with its relatively poor levels of social assistance, you could live off of the dole as long as your expectations on quality of life are low.

Turns out, in the real world, people like having nice things, hanging out with family and friends, travel occasionally, etc. instead of just entering flow state to solve problems! It has nothing to do with income inequality.
You should sell this as a kit, really impressive!
You supposedly "own" the iPhone that you purchased. Why shouldn't you be able to install the software you prefer?

Apple's control of your iPhone hardware is not a natural state. They maintain that control through the power of copyright, granted by the government. Modifying iOS and iPhones to allow running arbitrary software is feasible, but distributing such modified copies is illegal due to Apple's copyright, enforced by the courts. If anyone could copy and modify iOS at will then they would soon lose that control.

Copyright is not an inalienable right like the right of ownership of real property. It is a monopoly granted by the government for a specific purpose. If it is being exploited in ways that are contrary to that purpose, or otherwise undesirable, the government should be looking at whether the copyright that they granted should be limited or rescinded.
You have now edited your comment at least 3 times. I find it hard to take this argument seriously, and indeed struggle to understand how it isn't trolling. At best this language is ambiguous; at worst it is misleading. It certainly ignores the core point of my comment, which is to construct hypothetical actions by Mozilla that would NOT be permitted by the clause. I strongly feel that your purpose in defending Mozilla here would be better served by providing those examples.

Even if I agreed with the “block ads and then show our own” business model, which I don’t, I will never install a web browser, or any other application, that includes a cryptocurrency wallet.

Not only is VC funding very competitive, but it takes an enormous amount of time to raise. My first startup we spent months and months doing nothing but fundraising.

Recently, I didn't want to bother with that and just went straight to building product. In this case, I built product, got a couple customers, and saw zero growth. From there, no VC would touch us, because we had no growth, and in some cases they just made fun of us.

Like myself, OP was the founder/cofounder, and it's not uncommon for family to be very unsupportive of risky career moves. Unsuccessful startups lead to divorce all the time, it's very sad and a part of startups nobody talks about
I was fascinated by this experiment when I first learned about it. At one point I thought of a modified version where you let the 'B' go across a event horizon of a Black-hole. in this case there would be a clear before and after right? will DCQE still work across singularity boundary?

I wished Zoom could do this too, it's a great feature to build in to a videoconferencing product. I use a free companion app, called MeetingBar, which syncs with your calendar and has an option to join the meeting's waiting room for you.
Seems like Ceph is considerably lower in throughput: https://ceph.io/en/news/blog/2024/ceph-a-journey-to-1tibps/ A serious concern when saving hundreds of terabytes of weights and optimizer states every now and again, or loading large precomputed prefix KV-caches. Minio seems to be slower still. IDK about SeaweedFS - they don't mention performance in their selling points at all.
Interesting, they seem to be switching to Swift soon.
Apple has made it against the rules for apps to notify users of the benefits of not going through the app store.

Many subscription services don't allow you to subscribe from your iPhone. Why? Because if they did they'd have to pay Apple 30% for the privilege. And Apple has made it against their rules to notify users of this.

And for the ones that eat it, they're not allowed to give users a 25% discount for going to their website.

This is what Epic did to prove user harm, they made it cheaper to buy currency through their processor than Apple's. Of course they were banned for it.
Former Hatter here (Solution Architect Q2 '21 -> Q4 '22). Other than the discussions that took place around moving the storage/business products and teams under IBM (and the recently announcement transfer of middleware), I wouldn't have expected engineering to do that much interfacing with IBM. At most, division leadership maybe (this is just personal speculation). Finance and Sales on the other hand... quite a bit more.

We had a really fun time where the classic s-word was thrown around... "s y n e r g y". Some of the folks I got to meet across the aisle had a pretty strong pre-2010 mindset. Even around opinions of the acquisition, thinking it was just another case of SOP for the business and we'd be fully integrated Soon™.

They key thing people need to remember about the Red Hat acquisition is that it was purely for expertise and personnel. Red Hat has no (or very little) IP. It's not like IBM was snatching them up to take advantage of patents or whatnot. It's in their best interest to do as little as possible to poke the bear that is RH engineering because if there was ever a large scale exodus, IBM would be holding the worlds largest $34B sack of excrement we've seen. All of the value in the acquisition is the engineering talent and customer relationships Red Hat has, not the products themselves. The power of open source development!

It's heartening to hear that your experience in engineering has been positive (or neutral?) so far. Sales saw some massive churn because that's an area IBM did have a heavier impact in. There were some fairly ridiculous expectations set for year-over-year, completely dismissing previous results and obvious upcoming trends. Lost a lot of good reps over that...
I gather there are no binaries because it's for development use ? Are we all really supposed to compile it? Really should have alpha binaries. The only download link I can find is sourceforge and it looks sketchy.
I'd amend this list to place anything that can run UBO (the real version, not kneecapped lite version that now runs on chrome) at the top. AFAIK that still only includes Firefox and derivatives.
Really both of those models show 60% as about the limit to where you're still effectively at the baseline for latency. 80% is just about the limit to where you're up there in the exponential rise, any higher and things become unusable.

0-60 and you're still at minimum latency. 60-80 you're at twice the latency but it's probably worth the cost savings of the extra compute density since it's still pretty low. Higher than 80 and things are already slowing down and getting exponentially worse by the request
Well this project is now more important than ever since Firefox basically sold its soul [1].

Never say "Never"... Next is Thunderbird.

> society create the überman myth to keep the working class down, thinking they will never be the top of their game

What? The distribution of talent and grit being what it is, ubermen do exist. Some people are naturally tall, good-looking, able to recite pi to the 50th digit, solve challenging analytical problems, put in long hours when necessary, and get along with the in-laws.

Of course, the ones doing the hiring probably know that such people won't stay in the position for long. But it's not a myth, and certainly not one to keep anyone down.
Given that Mozilla updated their site a couple days ago to remove any wording along the lines of "Firefox will never sell your data to advertisers" when a flag associated with the new Firefox terms of use is enabled (see https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/commit/d459addab846d8144b...), I'm not so sure that this is a CYA about standard web browser usage.

Yes. I reworked the example a few times. I think the third rewrite made it pretty clear.

> It certainly ignores the core point of my comment, which is to construct hypothetical actions by Mozilla that would NOT be permitted by the clause.

The hypothetical action you gave is not permitted, because the user would not have indicated they wanted Mozilla to do that. Firefox/Mozilla is only allowed to use your data as indicated by you.
Yeah, I'm not putting it forward as a justifying argument (just playing devil's advocate). However, it's probably how they justify it to themselves :) What makes it extra absurd is the price they charge per resource. That's where it turns into robbery.
Because she thought that her payments were still suspended seems the obvious answer.
> But 4o has been better at creative writing

In what way? I find the opposite, 4o's output has a very strong AI vibe, much moreso than competitors like Claude and Gemini. You can immediately tell, and instructing it to write differently (except for obvious caricatures like "Write like Gen Z") doesn't seem to help.
I found(*) a new technique recently that works everytime.

Tap the edge of the lid on a hard surface while pointing the jar 45 deg downward.

Tapping the lid is a common suggestion, but the magic ingredient is the downward angle.

What exactly do you want to sideload on your Nintendo system? Is there a large, frustrated demand for unauthorized Nintendo software?

The game console business model is an historical anomaly. In the beginning, all console games were produced in-house by the console manufacturers. The consoles weren't "platforms" at all. However, 4 Atari programmers got wind that the games they wrote made tens of $millions for Atari while the programmers were paid only a relatively small salary. When Atari management refused to give the programmers a cut, they left and formed Activision. Thus Activision became the original third-party console game development company.

Atari then sued Activision for theft of trade secrets, because the Activision founders were all former Atari programmers. The case was settled, with Atari getting a cut of Activision’s revenue but otherwise allowing Activision to continue developing console games. I suspect this was because the 4 programmers were considered irreplaceable to Atari (albeit too late, after they already quit).

This one is an unusual case, as the clinical trial is coming after the first patient (Scolyer) was treated. It's also interesting due to its aspect of "Physician, heal thyself", as Scolyer's own research formed the basis of his treatment. Scolyer doesn't seem to have been directly involved in his treatment, in that it was designed by his collaborator, Georgina Long, and executed by another team.
That'd be a matter for the privacy policy. The section in question is whether they can then go ahead and publish a list of all the buttons you pressed. Which according to this license grant they can, but only if it "helps you navigate, experience, [or] interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox". What does that mean? I have no clue. It's a really strange restriction and I can't decide if that's wide open or so narrow that it is basically never met
I feel like this period has shown that we're not quite ready for a machine god. We'll see if RL hits a wall as well.
> more or less essential for lots of presentations and other types of documents

Wait. What? This reminds me of the trope of the "wikipedia citation" in high school and college.. that move was worth at most a C+. Are you seriously saying these fucks actually seriously cite this bullshit? In this day and age where even crowdsourced wiki articles seem "credible"? What the actual fuck? I hate this shit.
I spoke with a guy (too long ago) that was a "genius architect" and worked for a company that was small enough, that he got to implement his castles in the air. Knowing him, they might have been quite good, but it was one person that knew the details and made changes at the architect scale. He had a quirky way of thinking.

When IBM acquired that company, after a few weeks, this guy had a meeting with new engineering people. The very first meeting, they changed things for him. Instead of a single winding road of development, they wrote out a large spreadsheet. The rows were the distinguishable parts of his large'ish and clever architecture; the columns were assignments. They essentially dismantled his world into parts, for a team to implement. He was distraught. He didn't think like that. They did not discuss it, it was the marching orders. He quit shortly afterwards, which might have been optimal for IBM.
Kinda sounds like they want to be able to give more money to the muskrat through subsidies for starlink instead of focusing on fibre (fibre would be a better investment), while also being able to charge whatever they want, while also “owning the libs”.
To quote from the article: "These repositories, belonging to more than 16,000 organizations, were originally posted to GitHub as public, but were later set to private [..]" Once things are public, they will forever remain public (in some form). That's how the internet works.
I'll second this. Kagi is really impressive and ad-free is a nice change.
That would be a cause but he's been like this for over two years. Wouldn't there be a point where he reflects on the past and analyzes his behavior?
Why, do you think they wouldn’t pass it given the opportunity?
Cool, il check that out!
clear thinking; his deep ideas he returned to again and again - history of deep time, punctuated evolution, the implications of human evolution not being a climb towards some teleological end but of complexity gradually increasing with time.
