A few years ago, while helping build a platform on Google Cloud & GKE for a client, we found the same issues.

At that point we already had a CRD used by most of out tenant apps, which deployed an opinionated (but generally flexible enough) full app stack (Deployment, Service, PodMonitor, many sane defaults for affinity/anti-affinity, etc, lots of which configurable, and other things).

Because we didn't have an opinion on what tenant apps would use in their containers, we needed a way to make the pre-stop sleep small but OS-agnostic.

We ended up with a 1 LOC (plus headers) C app that compiled to a tiny static binary. This was put in a ConfigMap, which the controller mounted on the Pod, from where it could be executed natively.

Perhaps not the most elegant solution, but a simple enough one that got the job done and was left alone with zero required maintenance for years - it might still be there to this day. It was quite fun to watch the reaction of new platform engineers the first time they'd come across it in the codebase. :D

Yes I'm talking about in the context of companies, gov'ts, police departments, etc. I know it's not about personal decisions.

One of the biggest hammers to the hypothetical boycott is this office which effectively criminalizes any company from partaking (going so far as to have to prove they considered the boycotted party for all deals / contracts / purchases / etc.)
I can see you are passionate about this. Tax writeoffs are paid for by the taxpayers.
>And yet she says reports from 2017, external - that the company had been using algorithms to target and categorise vulnerable teens - were true. "The algorithm could infer that they were feeling worthless or unhappy," she alleges.The company - which also owns Instagram and WhatsApp - could, she claims, identify when a teenage girl had deleted a selfie on its platforms, and then notify a beauty company that it would be a good moment to target the child with an advert.

End point capitalism? Pretty horrible, if true.
The fact that the references are what they are, out of all possible sets of references, is a significant part of the research. It's not about reading, it's about aiming in a direction without knowing where it ends up.

And if you want to have a fight about technicalities, you're both wrong. He didn't describe himself as either pro-Hamas or pro-Palestinian. He described the protests as anti-Israel ...

As anti-Israel's existence, to be exact, not anti-Israel's actions in Gaza or anywhere else.
> for instance, Linux handles network socket, special files (like /proc/cpuinfo) or even USB devices as files. This is a powerful idea that can make easy to write or use programs for linux since we can rely in a set of well known operations from this abstraction called file.

Benno Rice gave a fantastic talk a few years ago called "What UNIX Cost Us," which he starts off by showing how to write some USB device code in macOS, Windows, and Linux. It only takes a few minutes to demonstrate how pretending that everything is a file can be a pretty poor abstraction, and result in far more confusing code, which is why everyone ends up using libusb instead of sysfs.

Bulldozers themselves have been used to murder. There were examples given in the article? Not sure the point of this comment?
- Do you understand the material?
- Can you utilize your understanding to build successful models/algorithms?

If the answer is yes to both, do some projects, put them on your github, and update your resume. You might need to take a job at a lower position first, but you can jump from there. But I want to make sure that the answer is "yes" to both and note that it is easy to think you understand something without actually understanding it. Importantly we must recognize that everyone has a different level of sufficient knowledge where they are comfortable saying that they "understand" a topic. One person might say they don't and be more knowledgeable than someone that says they do. But demonstration of the knowledge levels is at least a decent proxy for determining this.

A way I like to gauge someone's understandings of things is by getting them to explain the limitations. This is often less explicitly stated in learning and a deeper understanding is acquired through experience and most importantly, reflection on that experience. This is often an underutilized tactic but it is very effective. If you can't do this, then the good news is that starting now will only accelerate your understanding :)
You're downvoted so much that I can't even read your text without copy and pasting it.

But you're right. When I'm using Safari with 1Blocker, I don't even notice that I'm not using Chrome with uBlock Origin. And it accomplishes that with static rules instead of with an API that reads every request.
Good thing no one said it was, then.

What ads are not blocked by other ad blockers though? I'm upset too that ublock origin is no longer usable. I tried ublock origin lite and it seems to be blocking most ads so it's still blocking google's ads and that's not banned. It seems kind of hard to argue that it's just about banning ads given plenty of ad blockers still block Google's ads.

I haven't tried others like Ad Blocker etc...
Ah, 90s network security. Happier times.

I went and checked myself, and they have evolved a lot more than I remembered. For the better, I think, but you're certainly right that they could be going about this in a more legally adept way.

The exemption mentioned in that article isn't about hosting video games online- you may have confused two exemptions. That one was for accessibility in the sense of access for people with disabilities (alternate input devices, etc). It was only added in the 2021 review, and the Internet Archive wasn't one of its backers.

The exemption for remote access to video games was a separate and new proposal, and the Copyright Office blocked it after pressure from industry lobbyists.

Fp is not a ticket to interesting job in any ways.

You can’t imagine how abundant are boring projects and products made of scala :)

This is not about language or current hype.

Hard to say with confidence because of very scarce signals, but probably you want to find a job with 2 features:
1. Very early stage of a software
2. Very ambitious software itself (like a new db on a competitive market, new game engine)

Most of the “boring” jobs are not about developing the software per se, but rather about _using_ (wiring up, cobbling up, tuning, integrating) pieces of existing software to shove data around.

That what makes it boring in a nutshell - lack of the aha moment of creating something new.
Then there is no reason to include that part. It changes the entire tone of the British govt’s response.
Not a login token, but rather an attestation token. Presumably TV clients don't really have a good mechanism for attestation that isn't tied to DRM (web technically doesn't either, but the web code can be updated daily...)
I don't see why it should be so binary. I said it "mostly" just works because there are no packaging systems which do exactly what you want 100% of the time.

I've had plenty of problems with node, for example. You mentioned nix, which is much better, but also comes with tons of hard trade-offs.

If a packaging tool doesn't do what i wanted, but I can understand why, and ultimately the tool is not to blame, that's fine by me. The issues I can think of fit reasonably well within this scope:

- requirement version conflicts: packages are updated by different developers, so sometimes their requirements might not be compatible with each other. That's not pip's fault, and it tells you what the problem is so you can resolve it.

- code that's not compatible with updated packages: this is mainly down to requirement versions which are specified too loosely, and not the fault of pip. If you want to lock dependencies to exact versions (like node does by default) you can do this too (with requirements.txt). It's a bit harsh to blame pip for not doing this for you, it's like blaming npm for not committing your package.lock. It would be better if your average python developer was better at this.

- native library issues: some packages depend on you having specific libraries (and versions thereof) installed, and there's not much that pip can do about that. This is where your "ssl issues" come from. This is pretty common in python because it's used so much as "glue" between native libraries -- all the most fun packages are wrappers around native code. This has got a lot better in the past few years with manylinux wheels (which include native libraries). These require a lot of non-python-specific work to build, so i don't blame pip where they don't exist.

It's not perfect, but it's not a big enough deal to rant about or reject entirely if you would otherwise get a lot of value out of the ecosystem.

It kind of boggles my mind how short the lifespan of these companies were during periods of great technological advancement.

3dfx is founded in August 1994. The Sony Playstation came out in Japan in December of 1994.

It's heyday is roughly 1996-2000, less than 4 years. Then it goes bankrupt in 2002, just 8 years after its founding.

Within that time period we go from games like Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (released 1994), to Grand Theft Auto III (released October 2001). Just a massive amount of technological shift in a span of 6-7 years.

Feels like something is similar going on with AI right now. Compare the image generating DALL-E1 released in January 2021 to Google's Veo 2 released in January 2025. Just insane progress in 4 years.
All people involved have jurisdiction on how to apply the law. Putting this girl in prison and a jumpsuit is ridiculous.

It creates yet another person who will come to rightfully hate the US, gets bad press affecting tourism and business, and for what? For a girl that loved the US, misinterpreted or misunderstood something and is staying a little longer, spending more money and having good experiences.

Enforce the law, sure, whatever, but the jumpsuit and 10 days in a detention center are barbaric and unnecessary. There's a reason this wouldn't have happened before a wannabe dictator was in power.
I believe the comment's point is sarcasm

I just used procmon, filtered to include "systemsettings.exe", turned off all the other guff and just saw network packet meta data (no content).

>The US doesn't just let people wander in. The US-Mexico border is incredibly militarized, with multiple lines of checkpoints on either side. [...] It's closer to the DMZ than it is to a typical international border.

Unless "multiple lines of checkpoints" actually means "multiple booths so visitors can be processed in parallel", this is most certainly false. Here's the San Ysidro boreder crossing in Tijuana:

https://www.google.com/maps/@32.5423767,-117.0289817,331m/da...

You can see a wide fanout to a bunch of booths, a secondary screening area north of that, and some administrative buildings. That's not "multiple lines of checkpoints". It's just one checkpoint. There might be more drug sniffer dogs than the average border crossing elsewhere, but for the typical traveler it's otherwise not that much different.
Just a random thought:

Understanding the limitations is a complicated thing in tech. You can finnangle most systems into doing mostly anything, as inefficient as that may prove to be.

The question then becomes up to what point is it "a reasonably better than most others" solution. And that's a question of an understanding of a field, not a space in the field.
Yes but Chrome has many niche extensions that prevents me from migrating, I've tried since the manifest v2 news.
Relevant to the part about the brown tree snake on Guam, the inspectors for Hawai’i just had their building lease canceled by GSA/DOGE and barely kept their jobs:

https://www.hawaiipublicradio.org/local-news/2025-03-10/brow...

I was stationed on Guam for a bit, on the aviation side. We had to do quite a few inspections for those snakes, and worked with the people in the article I linked. In three years we found 7 on birds I inspected (a few hundred I imagine), all just before deployment overseas. Those snakes got into the oddest places.

When Google nuked the (manifest V2) extensions I had on Chrome, without letting me export their settings (custom filters for ublock origin, RSS reader feeds), I bit the bullet and switched to Firefox.
How is the book a smartphone training guide? I've read it a few times with my toddler and enjoyed it, and felt like it was a very different experience from screentime (which they don't really get). I don't think it would have been enjoyable at 6 months old, since it's more about the kid doing things (encouraging them to help shake the book, et cetera) than just reading straight through.
I had the second or third generation 11" MBA (the first gen whose performance was actually good for the time IMO). That laptop had 2 issues: low screen resolution, and too large a bezel. Fixing those 2 would make it the perfect laptop. The 12" MacBook did that but had appalling performance and an horrible keyboard. It was a good idea, poorly executed.

Ad blockers still run in Chrome - just not ublock origin. Google's ads are still blocked by those blockers. If they really were motivated to stop ad blocking wouldn't they have blocked all ad blockers?

Note: I'm upset too that ublock origin stopped working. I switched to ublock origin lite and it's mostly working, though there are some ads sneaking through. I'm not sure if that just means

(1) it needs an update

(2) I should look for another blocker (IIUC ublock origin lite is not maintained much?)

(3) It's impossible in V3 to block these few things that are currently not blocked.
Why ignored? Just like in USSR Ukraine was generating a lot of produce - and share in the USSR economy - the California also generates a lot of money it spends on rockets. So - I don't see ignoring.
My view is that those who designed CSS suck when it comes to designing intuitive systems.

You try to define that it does. Here's my attempt: reasoning is nothing but a set of rules to follow. Complex reasoning is a set of rules that includes instructions on how to extend the set of rules in some way.

Oh, I see. You believe that the people in Canada/EU don't hate the US right now, and that the fact that the media say it (whether in the US or in Canada/EU) doesn't mean it's true.

You believe that the people in Canada/EU are not actually scared by the repeated threats of military invasion by the US.

And you believe that Tesla sales going down in the EU is not necessarily related to that, because there is no reason why people in the EU would hate Tesla.

Do I get this right?
But nowhere in the original post was there a mention of "thinking like a human". The poster said that these systems, at their core, emulate human behaviors. Writing is a human behavior - as are all the things that are requirements for writing (operating within the rules of given language/s, making logical choices, etc). The things you listed as evidence of human thinking were never implied when talking about replicating what human writing is.
Imagine the tradeoffs, though.

A "user-serviceable battery," by requirements, is going to be a hard shell plastic sort of thing - which means a decent fraction of the "total battery space" is a protective layer, not active cell components - so some significantly reduced capacity compared to having a "non-replaceable" battery ("slightly more difficult to replace"). You also end up having to devote space to whatever mechanisms keep the rear shell in place, and may have a harder time waterproofing it as a result (which seems to be standard anymore - the number of people I see at the gym using their phones in the hot tub or sauna is boggling).

Batteries, under light use of phones not kept in pockets, last a very long time - 3-5 years isn't unreasonable, and many will last longer. Batteries, under heavy use of a phone kept in a pocket and run hard, will still typically last 1.5-2 years. So in exchange for "slightly more inconvenience less than annually," you get a good bit more capacity and runtime.

Apple, in general, hasn't made their batteries nonsensically hard to replace. They've used the "pull tab sticky" sort of thing for some while, which is far nicer than "glue the whole thing down," and their newer devices are using some sort of electrically released magic (apply 9V to the adhesive, battery pops out).

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

I would really like to see the current generation of this tech make it into video games. Not the Sora type where the entire game is an interactive video (though that would be interesting to explore as well), but in more subtle and imaginative ways.

Perhaps as an extension of procedural generation, in interesting mechanics such as [1], or eventually even fully interactive NPCs.

PCs are starting to become more capable of running models locally, which can only make this tech more accessible. Like you say, we've barely begun exploring the possible use cases.

I agree with all of that, Elon's downside risk is massive. Putting himself at Trump's mercy might turn out to be one of the biggest blunders ever. Trump seems happy with using Elon for now but he's the ultimate bully who loves to make powerful people grovel, and Elon won't like it if that focus turns to him.

Elon has been masterful at evading consequences for years so I won't be surprised to see him worm his way through this situation, although he does seem to be losing a step to say the least.
