Renting second-hand means 'subletting'? Or something else?

> It is all very complicated and specific to Sweden, but this HOA corporation thing avoids a lot of fees/taxes when selling/buying the apartment (which is a BIG deal, stamp tax alone is 4% of the asset last I heard). But you get these downsides as well.

Yes, routing around regulation and taxes often gets pretty complicated.

Here in Singapore we don't have rent control, but stamp duty can also be really high (especially for foreigners). Fortunately, we don't have capital gains taxes, so if you aren't particularly tied to owner-occupied housing, you can instead invest in the stock market and use the returns to pay rent.
Sites like AliExpress and eBay are full of zero reputation “retailers” that look to offer products for sale with the intention of not delivering on them.

It was the land of the free as long as the corporate-owned media could control opinion and the plebs did not have a way of widely publicizing their opinions and sharing info.

Now that the plebs have it, its obviously a threat and must be eliminated.

So it came to what Frank Zappa said way back:

"At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."

> Under the ASF program, it would be possible for approximately 90% of American high school graduates to enter a year of military service

For a program that seems to be conscription-minus-a-war, I'm not clear it's architects factored reality into their equations. For example, 90% of HS graduates aren't going to be able to pass military physical exams - or be unable meet military entrance requirements for other reasons.

Past that, youth might be better inspired if they served Americans/people rather than government.
It would be pretty stupid for the UK to actually reduce reliance on US equipment. This just sounds like someone manufacturing a story for clicks.
16k isn't a lot of money if you're trying to buy a home though.

It would have made more sense to just pay it off first. At the very least you should be watching your accounts like a hawk when looking to take out of a home loan.

Then again, I was making so much money during the pandemic and I squandered much of it instead of paying off my own student loans. Glass house and all that

I don’t mean to disagree too strongly, but just to illustrate another perspective:

I don’t feel this is a weak result. Consider if you built a new version that you _thought_ would perform much better, and then you found that it offered marginal-but-not-amazing improvement over the previous version. It’s likely that you will keep iterating. But in the meantime what do you do with your marginal performance gain? Do you offer it to customers or keep it secret? I can see arguments for both approaches, neither seems obviously wrong to me.

All that being said, I do think this could indicate that progress with the new ml approaches is slowing.
> You mums problem is not the phone. Her problem is random strangers being able to "talk her into" whatever.

You're right, the problem is not her phone, because she has an iphone.

> It is sad when aging parents no longer ...

Her problem is less to do with ageing and more to do with not being interested in or exposed to technology in general throughout her life. And it's not just old people, lots of people have issues in those sorts of directions, are we saying "throw them to the wolves" or even "my freedom trumps their safely own a phone at all"?

Personally, I would opt in to "old person mode" on my phone these days, if by that we mean the current state of the iphone ecosystem, as it's a tool and I use it just fine on rails. I think we need to get rid of this toxic idea that 'personal responsibility' is a solution to all things all the time, and that people need to be constantly on guard about scams

25 year-old me would be the opposite of course, attitudes do change, and I'd like to see both approaches accounted for. I agree wholeheartedly that monopolies are bad and that markets need to be managed for both people and economies to thrive. But I'm also perfectly happy with a walled garden for myself and my less capable family members.
Out of curiosity, and I'm living under a rock.. which one?

Uv and Ray: Pain-Free Python Dependencies in Clusters
What a wonderful text. Easy to read, concise, clear, interesting -- and above all, important.

I would add context for 2025 about the fundamental limits this places on what (modern) AI is in principal capable of. Perhaps some "non-computable" features would need to be hard-coded into AI, so that it could at least better approximate the types of incomputable problems we might ask it to do?

Also, a search of the text for "conscious" does not yield anything, which is probably a good thing. This text also reminds me of the questions like, "What does it mean to be conscious?" and, "How are human brains able to reason about (things like) incomputability, which in some sense, computers as we currently understand them could never do?" and, "What specifically beyond pure mathematics does a brain have or need in order to be conscious enough to reason about such things?"

Agreed, it's a ridiculous mischaracterization and part of a pattern that's become a self-sustaining spiral with no quality control.

I don't believe it's astroturfing, simply just mind bogglingly awful arguments. Claiming the decline in market share is tied to inadequate browser features with no two conversations ever agreeing on what those features are. No coherent theory of cause and effect between features and market share while ignoring structural advantages that are much more important drivers, which Google leverages. Claims that CEO pay is the problem when it's 1% of annual revenue. Idiosyncratic interpretations of their published statements that make unfalsifiable assumptions about intentions. And a basic inability to grasp and compare the relative scale of different types of transgressions (e.g. Google is increasingly driving the web into deeper dependence on Chromium, but Mozilla once did a Mr. Robot promo!)

I think the worst of the worst were on Lemmy where similar conversations happen and one person looked at a 990 form from the Mozilla Foundation, a standard non-profit disclosure form, and breathlessly went through the lines as if they were evidence of a conspiracy.

I don't think everyone makes arguments that bad, but I think exposure to this normalized, low-quality discourse has socialized people into perpetuating the narrative with increasingly tenuous arguments.
Just want to call out, totally fine to not want to share the details of your relationship online, but if that's the case, you can't really make the appeal to "being in a similar situation" if you can't back that up in some meaningful way.

It reads as being willfully misleading. It seems apparent to me from your other comments that your situation is not really like the one described, because you're not really familiar with the hallmarks of it. But it doesn't matter one way or another since you're just asking the question 'why would you sever a relationship like this?'

Which is a fine question to ask on its own without making the appeal to "I've been in this situation", which you don't want to verify.

It would honestly make your first comment more solid if you just asked the question instead of alluding to being in similar situation, and then backing off from it here.

That sounds like a policy which would lead to continuing to pay checks after terminations and they would deserve the loss of every last cent due to their wanton stupidity.
The practical trade-off is that it is very, very difficult to secure a modern browser. Major vendors employ large teams of full-time security engineers and still ship vulnerable code with regularity. Companies such as Brave don't, but they get the benefit of getting many of the Chromium security features for free. Ladybird won't.

The thing that works in your favor is that Ladybird is very niche at this point, so unless some well-resourced adversary hates you specifically, it's unlikely that you'd be targeted.
To have tests that can be copied or exported into a .py module from a notebook is advantageous for prototyping and reusability.

There are exploratory/discovery and explanatory forms and workflows for notebooks.

A typical notebook workflow: get it working with Ctrl-Enter and manually checking output, wrap it in a function(s) with defined variable scopes and few module/notebook globals, write a test function for the function which checks the output every time, write markdown and/or docstrings, and then what of this can be reused from regular modules.

nbdev has an 'export a notebook input cell to a .py module' feature. And formatted docstrings like sphinx apidoc but in notebooks. IPython has `%psource module.py` for pygments-style syntax highlighting of external .py modules and `%psave output.py` for saving an input cell to a file, but there are not yet IPython magics to read from or write to certain lines within a file like nbdev.

To run the chmp/ipytest %%ipytest cell magic with line or branch coverage, it's necessary to `%pip install ipytest pytest-cov` (or `%conda install ipytest pytest-cov`)

Important context - Andreas isn't involved with SerenityOS much anymore. He decided to prioritize Ladybird, which is arguably the more important project here.

Also, he used to contribute to WebKit. Even ended up working at Apple for a period of time. Quite definitely the right person in the right place.

I use this “Apple match” service with iTunes. I think the idea was it found songs from cds I ripped and served me the same song from the cloud(without uploading) for a small yearly fee.

Though it did spend a long time uploading but I have a few phish concerts and a huge amount of classical I bought (Deutche Gramaphone has a best of collection they sold direct that was pretty big)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_online_music_l...

“by Apple (and formerly Amazon.com) was "scan-and-match", which examined music files on a computer and added a copy of matched tracks to the user's music locker without having to upload the files.”

Don’t know how much longer this will last.
Ah, that old pattern of AAA companies that proves they have grown past the point of innovation. All copy each other, badly, as a strategy.
Modern phones are more like general purpose computers than game consoles. The console argument from Apple is disingenuous and gets far too little pushback from courts. Same goes for their argument that developers who don't like the App Store rules should make web apps — but limits Safari support for PWAs and limits third-party browsers to an older, slower JavaScript engine.

From a different angle, corporations are not people; they do not inherently deserve the same consideration as people. Sideloading provides actual individuals the option of more flexibility in how they use the device they purchased with their hard-earned dollars. Sideloading also provides the freedom to continue to install apps that might be removed due to government pressure. "It's their platform" holds absolutely no weight as an argument in my mind; it's reflects excessive deference to corporations.

Apple should be forced because the real-world use of devices they make is broader than they argue in court, because it is a company not a person, and because other actions it takes restrict the ability of developers to take advantage of the alternative Apple itself promotes.

Less bureaucracy is the solution yet the United States, famously lazy about regulating tech, has managed to support only two truly viable mobile operating systems. Not even Microsoft wants to be in the game. This indicates that the bar is much higher than "they should just go make their own" and therefore we can expect more of the behemoths.
I hide the dock and basically never use it.

Install Alfred or Raycast and Command+Space your way to everything. Its 100x faster. I can launch any app in about 3 key strokes, which takes < 2 seconds and often less than a second with muscle memory.

For example cmd+space+c will launch or switch to chrome. cmd+space+py is pycharm, cmd+space+go is goland, cmd+space+fi is finder, cmd+space+me is messages, cmd+space+1 is 1Password. cmd+space+1p+space will start searching 1Password.

That launches apps. You can also just start doing math problems (calculator) by just cmd+space and start typing out a math equation. cmd+space+ai+space and just start asking a question to AI.

These only scratch the surface. But cmd+space, which is an easy modifier combo that you can do anytime, will basically unlock unlimited power. Once you get the muscle memory down you can literally launch any app in less than a second without even looking. If the app is already open, it just brings that app to foreground. Once you have that, you can use alt+tab to switch between apps that are already open. This is useful if you are just swapping between two or three apps for reference quickly. Furthermore alt+tilde (the squiggle key above tab and below escape on most latin keyboards) will switch between open windows of the same type. FOr example if you have 2 chrome windows open, it will switch only between those windows.

Out of curiosity, what timeframe are you talking about? The recent LLM explosion, or the decades long AI research?

I consider myself an AI skeptic and as soon as the hype train went full steam, I assumed a crash/bubble burst was inevitable. Still do.

With the rare exception, I don’t know of anyone who has expected the bubble to burst so quickly (within two years). 10 times in the last 2 years would be every two and a half months — maybe I’m blinded by my own bias but I don’t see anyone calling out that many dates

> ...we'd all be better off if Apple was just allowed to keep using conflict minerals...

It makes me laugh because back in the day people would have been complaining about Apple assembling their phones in Chinese sweatshops. But in the intervening time it turned out that working hard generates lots of wealth and now the conversation is how to sabotage the Chinese to stop them getting too wealthy, technically advanced and powerful. Those sweatshops meant business.

But to your actual point, you feel a need to compare sideloading apps to promoting war and conflict on an international sale you might want to reset your sense of proportion. If the EU wants to focus on promoting global peace I would strongly advise that they go do that rather than trying to backseat design iPhones. There is a major land war in Europe right now that involves pretty much every nuclear power except Pakistan they might like to turn their attention to. Some might say it involves resource rights too.

> It's basically advocating for self-regulation, and that's historically not worked that well.

The EUs regulators aren't so crash-hot either historically speaking. They've managed a grand transition from unchallenged global power to a 3rd tier continent over the last hundred years. They're doing something wrong. Telling Apple how to manage a phone is the least of their problems, but neatly emblematic of their strategy of having people who don't know how to make things work overulling the people who do.

> And most importantly of all - this isn't an option. Societies that fail to maintain themselves will simply die off and end up being replaced. Much of what I'm saying here runs face first into contemporary ideological ideals, but the reality of what I'm saying will win simply because contemporary ideals are not self sustaining.

You are right to an extent.

First, if the inclination to have more or fewer children is at all hereditary, there is a strong natural selection effect over time. Evolution in action.

Second, (sub-) societies don't have maintain themselves via their _own_ children. Priests in the Catholic church were famously barred from having children for at least a few hundred years by now. Yet, the Catholic church persists. Similarly, throughout most of history cities had below replacement level fertility, just because we didn't have the hygiene and medicine necessary to keep the diseases at bay. Yet, cities persisted.

You can say that they have been 'replaced', but so are families every generation. Drawing a strict line is only possible, if you put an undue emphasis on genes only.

You are right however, that for a culture or 'ideology' to persist, you need to replenish the pool of people in some way, either with children or converts/immigrants. (Or, I guess, you can figure out immortality for your members?)

Almost by definition, migration/conversion can only be an option for the most appealing of societies: those migrants have to come from somewhere; they are other people's kids.

Population is such a weird thing to worry about. When it goes up, people worry about there not being enough resources. When it goes down, people worry about there not being enough people.

I'm sure there continue to be real problems to Japan caused by the upside down population, but I think the thing you likely have to consider is that there are a lot of good reasons to be mindful about having a kid. You want people to be intentional about being able to raise and take care of a human being and provide for them in a way that we expect from a civil society.

Or at least, that's what I want. But then again, I don't worry about the population one way or the other.
