Do you consider using your inherited wealth to bankroll white nationalist political candidates also part of the "true hacker spirit". Carl may have been part of TPB for a small part of his life, but his true life long passion and calling was always first and foremost to be a dedicated and passionate white nationalist.
I would say he wasn't just a backer. There's not a lot of people willing to back sites like this, and even if they were, they're unlikely to meet one another. It's possible TPB wouldn't even happen without him.
The progress does not come from the absense of effort. That is just a transparent self serving "greed is good" class of argument from the lazy. It merely employs enough cherry picked truth to sound valid.

The progress comes from amplification of effot, which comes from leverage (output comes from input), not magic (output comes from nowhere) or theft (output comes from someone else).

Yeah, you know that the company is struggling when they start making comments like this. Which anybody who has any technical knowledge will know to be utter fud.

What deepseek has done is so much better than anything else in the West that the panic hasn't left yet.
We just lost another Aaron Swartz. Without Carl, there would have been no https://prq.se/. Without Pauraque, there would be no WikiLeaks, Pirate Bay and a host of other big things that fundamentally shaped the world. Shit, governments were toppled.
They should have kept at Upstart, but instead we got punished for our sins.

So don't have your pets in the workspace when it's not safe for them. What kind of lousy pet parent are you to not consider that? Also, wear the proper breathing equipment. This isn't some lame COVID anti-masking thread where wearing a mask says something about your politiks. It's working in a less than ideal environment, so take the proper precautions.

This is like telling people not to go outside because the dangers of UV radiation are too much. Deal with it. Wear protective clothing, don't hide in a cave. Some of us are brave enough and have the ability to judge risk/reward so that we left the cave, we crossed the oceans, we've left the planet. I'd hate to live in a world were nobody did anything risky because someone previously had a bad experience and stopped rather than looking at the bad result, making changes, improving the outcome the next time.
The person working the hardest to find these is then immediately shutting them down. Makes government more efficient.

It probably is. Just try it is the advice.

> It never ceases to amaze me that blocking noise/sound (one of the weakest forces) is very difficult

Maybe a result of human evolution? If our ears weren't as sensitive to sound as they are, we might not all be here discussing this.
Package managers are for running other people's code, I would not expect the same of static analysis tools, especially since they are of use while auditing other people's code before building/running it.
I guess I misunderstood. Honestly, a big part of why I use Uber is that there aren't nearly as many taxis in Brooklyn, and the few times I've tried to take them from Manhattan into Brooklyn, it seemed to frustrate the drivers. Within Manhattan, it's not hard to flag a taxi since there are dozen driving by every minute, but the experience is very different outside of there.

The reason you can't run arbitrary software on "your" iPad is because they have locked it down so Apple owns the hardware, not you.

One comment thread is not the entire internet you know. There are other websites out there
Someone did the exact same thing to JavaScript Today. Their domain was jstoday.cyou. It was an exact replica, but included a different analytics service, and the emails were changed to their domain. You can still see the results in Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ajstoday.cyou&oq=site%...

I reported the domain name to Namecheap, and in a few days, the site was down. Commenting because I'd like to know what this is about as well.

Have you read the misc "why can't America build things any more" criticisms? Like why our mega projects are super expensive, late, and over budget.

The recurring punchline is: Lack of administrative capacity.

The trials and tribulations of California's ill fated high speed rail is such a case study. Decades of outsourcings and privatization eliminated CA's ability to manage the effort.
Are there any security vulnerabilities in ls, chgrp, chown etc. that requires this change? Or this just more Rust evangelism?

I'm a latex user so I tried tikz and I like the results but it's often too much work. I end up most of the time using PowerPoint and using those drawing tools on a blank slide and then printing that slide to pdf so I get vector graphics then loading that into a pdf tool to crop it. Not a great system but still faster than tikz. I would love a better tool.

IIRC it was related to viewing vulnerabilities or integrations.

ZenDesk is another, related to their SSO logins.

Unfortunately once bitten I become twice shy. These kind of works-in-popular-browser circumstances pushed me to making my own browser navigation switcher, so I never have to worry about any one site again. Of course that also means that even if they fix it in Ff then I won't notice. (It also doesn't help that Manifest V3 has taken a while for me to support and Apple keeps changing things.)
Bingo bango and right on the money.
100% agreed. After writing Rust as my day job and using it in production for the last 2 years, my only criticism is the lack of a good high level standard library (like Go) and the insanity and fragmentation of Future type signatures.

Though at this point, I wish I could write everything in Rust - it's fantastic

Also, I can't wait to (practically) use it as a replacement for JavaScript on the web

That sounds convincing until you realize we're already on a cr from December [0] which created the same fictional premise.

There's more consistency in UIs on the web than desktop IMO

People have less power on the web so it has more limitations, even if it lacks a number of consistent UI components baked in.Desktop apps are notorious for getting fancy. Even simple control apps from random headphones/keyboards/music gear/etc all want to reinvent the settings page and make it 'sleek' instead of usable.
> Performance is a frequently cited rationale for “Rewrite it in Rust” projects. While performance is high on my list of priorities, it’s not the primary driver behind this change.

Is performance a frequent rationale for rewriting C applications in Rust?
I hope that we were beyond first-past-the-post voting. I would like to see a ranked-choice or star voting to determine whether something should be flagged.

I would also appreciate using tools like this AI system[1] to identify and limit hate-filled posts. It's only accurate about 90% of the time, but that's an acceptable loss for me, even if my speech gets filtered.

I worked at an educational robotics small business in DFW in the late 90s. My boss was super into amateur astronomy and made his own telescopes. Those guys remind me of the amateur rocketry people. Incredibly skilled and knowledgeable group of hobbyists.
The handful of people writing your compilers, JIT-ers, etc. are still writing assembly code. There are probably more of them today than at any time in the past and they are who enable both us and LLMs to write high level code. That a larger profession sprang up founded on them simplifying coding enough for the average coder to be productive didn't eliminate them.

The value of most of us as coders will drop to zero but their skills will remain valuable for the foreseeable future. LLMs can't parrot out what's not in their training set.
Why's this a programming language rather than a library?
Snaps were the first shot across the bow. This is another. Switch to Debian before this happens.
> Yes, you can get more effective at something with more effort, but you can get even more effective at it if you find a way to get results without actually doing the work yourself in the first place.

You've arrived at the reason for compilers. You could go produce all that pesky machine code yourself or you could learn to use the compiler to its optimal potential to do the work for you.

LLMs and smart machines alike will be the same concept but potentially capable of a wider variety of tasks. Engineers that know how to wield them and check their work will see their productivity increase as the technology gets better. Engineers that don't know how to check their work or wield them will at worst get less done or produce volumes of garbage work.
So you can't write everything in rust? You mean like business apps? Just asking.
I would really not care, but now I'm quite interested.
I don't mean to be insensitive or offensive but this has always seemed like an XY problem to me.

There are certain activities that humanity needs to do that need to produce noise, that's just how it is (e.g. building houses). We as a society have acknowledged this and that's why we have laws that restrict the activities to certain hours (e.g. 6:00 to 22:00 in my country.

I also can hear the noises and they are also not pleasant to me, but I have learned to deal with it mentally or physically (leave while the noise is being made until it's illegal to make it).

I see it as an XY problem because it seems that the people who mind the noise think that they can make it go away by "muting" or "ignoring" the noise instead of accepting that the noise is inevitable and learning to deal with it.

I use a variety of DEs and WMs but I still can't find anything better than dwm for my desktop. If I need some extra controls, xfce4-panel runs modularly and neatly covers the main bar for whatever workspace it's on. It handles both tiling and floating perfectly. I hope more software projects pick up the focus on simplicity, especially making programs as easy to reconfigure and compile as dwm.
Regardless of what the real story is on this van, lookup the Bernie S. case if you want an easy case with proof of government surveillance incompetence. Under cover Secret Service agents were photographed surveilling a 2600 meeting in a mall court, then got embarrassed when the 2600 guys posted flyers with their photographs around. Most criminals are dumb which is a good thing as I like the bad guys getting caught, but unfortunately the smart ones graduate to become politicians.

I think unaltered and releastic pictures are better, but if they're known for being an actor, then I imagine they want to share their actor persona. Some actors want to have a normal life away from the camera, so I can see why they wouldn't want "normal" pictures out there.

However, I wouldn't go so far as telling Wikipedia what to promote whether or not I agree with it.

Although, I do agree though that unrealistic and sexualized "standards" lead to bad consequences.
That's unfair. The Second Amendment is also good for getting gay nightclub goers, Jews, Muslims, women who won't date you, and unarmed black people. As the Founding Fathers clearly intended.

Also anyone you can hit from a Vegas hotel window.

But apparently not a President with a rifle from a high vantage point at close range with perfect visibility, anymore. Maybe if he'd been a Democrat...
Yes. But it's a lost cause. It's structural, since EU jobs are compensation roles for failed politicians. If you ever been into inside politics as more than just an elector, you will know this is how lists pre-election are built.
It seems like the first step should be packaging this up as a metapackage or something for interested parties and having at least a full unstable release cycle where that's optional and tested before replacing such utilities for what is oestensibly an end-user distribution for less-technical people who will not be able to fix things going wrong deep in the heart of shell scripts.

I'm all for Rusting more-or-less all the things, but Rust isn't actually magic or anything. Things aren't automatically better just because Rust. And as someone who keeps at least modest track of CVEs and such, these utilities aren't exactly throwing CVEs out left right front and center. I don't like the amount of C in the world but being run billions of times a day in every conceivable environment is itself a really, really good test. We well know from history, still not always perfect, but honestly these aren't the things that need a priority Rusting; it's the code that doesn't fit that description that really needs it.
Marriage triples risk of obesity in men – but not women, study reveals
Depends how you define "worse in every way". With my own personal testing, DeepSeek's distillations have been able to do the task when the original upstream model either couldn't, or was marginally worse yet.

You're preaching to the anti-choir on this, though: I do not think LLMs are ready for use yet. Maybe another few years, maybe another few decades, we'll find out I guess, but what we have today sure as hell isn't it.
Shame they hide the option to keep history forever in about:config. At least there are some add-ons to help set that.

I can understand the default not keeping forever, for privacy, storage, and performance reasons.

The photographer owns the copyright, and would want to be paid to release the rights in a wikipedia-apropriate way.

Most of the amateur celebrity photography on wikipedia are happy to donate their images to the cause.

As much fun as it is to idolize and eleveate celebrities, they are just employees in another business, they'd have to arrange some way for a photographer (or themselves) to take a better picture and then CC license it.
I think Nim might be a good candidate.

Why was she detained rather than denied entry?

If someone doesn't have the necessary paperwork to enter the US, don't let them cross the border. ICE needs to get DOGEd, they're wasting a bunch of tax payer money on providing room and board to illegal immigrants.
I think there's something to be said for a LLM for government policy. It should be trained for the country in question and open sourced. Then as well as the politicians asking what we should do about the NHS or what have you, the public could do so as well and see where the ideas were coming from.

Given the current state of LLMs it would only be giving advice but even so would probably give better advice than some of the idiots that get elected. Also maybe more importantly it would be a known quantity whereas humans can be deceptive.

The PSTN is a legacy product. Companies are loathe to invest money in a shrinking market.
>how would the receiver be notified that they should download some file via FTP
You tell them "hey I want to share a file with you, scan this QR code". The QR code sets up the WiFi Direct connection, the fake portal login should auto-open a "click here to download" button (or redirect to a file, but I don't think that's allowed), and once the file is downloaded you terminate the Wi-Fi Direct connection.

But that presumes phones don't have a method to share files. They have that feature built in. It's called Nearby Share on Android and AirDrop on iOS. Both use some weird pairing mechanism and some form of Wi-Fi Direct to transfer files, but the interface is just a bit more integrated.

When Apple opens up Airdrop or when Google convinces Apple to pre-install Nearby Share, we'll get the universal file transfer we desperately need.
> So now we can get wrong code but written in a more confident language.

The lesson to learn is rather that also in "real life", you shouldn't trust confident people.
Humans are really well designed mechanical systems!
Indeed, something that we sadly lack today. We need people like Mark more than ever, not less.
Sorry about that. Assumed you were trying to piggyback on the existing, to come up with a practical fix. Never entered into my mind that you were suggesting to overhaul the infrastructure. Yes, if you redesigned everything from scratch everything is possible. I will say, however, that getting rid of legacy is often harder than people think.

At the risk of making this another Go vs Rust comment, I hesitate to mention this, but Go developers copy structs all the time. We do it mostly as a way to make values immutable (and to avoid nil checking all the time). It is mostly not a problem. If something is a hot path, we'll use a pointer.

Whenever we pass by value as opposed to by address, Go makes a copy. Use .clone() in Rust, it is fine most of the time. Optimize it out if you find it is a performance bottleneck.

> We just lost another Aaron Swartz.

There is a world of difference between Aaron Swartz and Carl Lindström, starting with their political ideologies (which in Aaron's case was inseparable from his life's work) and extending through the way they executed on them and their degree of involvement in the causes for which they are the most known.

I don't think Aaron Swartz would be happy to hear this comparison if he were alive today.
