Whether the people are employed by the government directly or a different entity isn't relevant at all, the relevant part is taxes being used for something that has an undefined benefit for the people who are forced to pay for it. (And in case of "no string attacked" even has an undefined goal.)

No thinly-modified version of Chromium is going to save us from Google having almost unilateral power over the implementation of web standards, creating a browser monoculture. None of these forks is making substantive changes to the browser engine; it's often just Chromium with a few configuration tweaks and cosmetic enhancements.

Hm, I am using [dwm](https://dwm.suckless.org/) with a custom keybinding to shift to the left or right workspace. That seems similar enough, other than the fact that changing the split ratio will affect all workspaces on dwm while on Niri it most likely will not ...
I agree. I think the problem is a banal missing color transformation somewhere in the pipeline, like converting the palette and image to linear colorspace, doing the dithering there and mistakenly writing the linear color values instead of sRGB color values into the image.

Others suggest that the error is using the wrong metric for choosing the closest color, but I disagree. That wouldn't such drastic systematic darkening like this, as the palette is probably still pretty dense in the RGB cube.

Where the linearisation really matters is the arithmetic for the error diffusion, you definitely want to diffuse the error in a linear colorspace, and you are free to choose a good perceptual space for choosing the closest color at each pixel, but calculate the error in a linear space.

Visual perception is weird. But when you squint your eyes to blur the image, you are definitely mixing in a linear colorspace, as that's physical mixing of light intensities before the light even reaches your retina. So you have to match that when diffusing the error.

edit:

It also doesn't help that most (all?) browsers do color mixing wrong when the images are scaled, so if you don't view the dithered images at 100% without DPI scaling than you might get significantly distorted colors due to that too.

edit2:

For comparison this is what imageworsener does:

https://imgur.com/a/XmJKQnz

You really need to open the image in a viewer where each image pixel is exactly one device pixel large, otherwise the color arithmetic used for scaling by viewers is of variable quality (often very poor).

Clearly this conversation won’t ever lead anywhere productive. You’re surprisingly incapable of comprehending what an analogy is, separating an individual from a group (both myself and OP), or revisiting your own biases. You don’t get to tell other people what they imply or don’t, especially once they repeatedly point out your misunderstanding. Have some humility. There is no shame in admitting when you’re wrong and moving on.

For example: I was wrong to believe you were arguing in good faith and that providing more context would make us reach an understanding. I should have realised that your initial message was already an attempt to be dismissive instead of taking you at your word. Which in hindsight makes sense; if you are duplicitous in your words, you expect others to be the same. My sincere wish is that one day you are lucky enough to to understand the world isn’t black and white and not every issue requires taking a side.
Telecom stacks are full of questionable security decisions, some stemming from the protocol level. Protocols like SS7 were designed without any concept of hackers or malicious actors. You can slap firewalls on top of them, but those interfere with desired functionality and even if they don't they require extra investment. DIAMETER is better but still full of holes.

Security in the telecom space has been a point of priority for the past couple of years and things are improving, but there are decades of legacy hardware, software, firmware, and network designs to cover for.

I doubt anyone is running standard Freeswitch in their telco networks, but the problems Freeswitch has as an aging telecom product with a history of not looking for security as much as one might expect those are all over the place.

build and run mcp?

bro you can use mcp clients and servers in windows.

for example if you are using claude desktop on windows, or cline/roo on vscode, or claudecode on terminal, those are all mcp clients.

claudecode for example is just javascript code from npm that can be run by nodejs which works on windows.

on mcp servers, most of them are written in javascript too. if you see anything with npx, it means its an executable compiled javascript code from npm, and your windows can run it as long as you have nodejs installed.
They have a significant DSLAM markeshare too
I've always been curious to what degree, if any, color constancy[1] affects color dithering.

Seems that at some level it should, though perhaps not directly at the pixel level due to the high frequency of the per-pixel differences, but maybe at the more coarse "averaged" level?

One of those things I've wanted to explore but remains on my to-do list...

What Do Import Tariffs Look Like in the New England Grid?
well the only issue I have with that is that coding is already a fairly easy way to encode logic. Sure...writing Rust or C isn't easy but writing some memory managed code is so easy that I wonder whether we are helping ourselves by removing that much thinking from our lives. It's not quite the same optimization as building a machine so that we don't have to carry heavy stones ourselves. Now we are building a machine so we don't have to do heavy thinking ourselves. This isn't even specific to coding, lawyers essentially also encode logic into text form. What if lawyers in the future increasingly just don't bother understanding laws and just let an AI form the arguments?

I think there is a difference here for the future of humanity that has never happened before in our tool making history.

'Paxos made visual in FizzBee.' This blog helped me understand Paxos
Paxos is a classic algorithm that I always wanted to learn, but it is too hard. I've tried many times, but just gave up. Lamport's Paxos Made Simple doesn’t actually make it simple, and his Understanding Paxos or How to Win a Turing Award talk uses TLA+ which didn’t help either.

This blog from Lorin Hochstein explains Paxos in more simple terms, Writers, Readers, Storage nodes, etc. Good visualizations, straightforward explanations.

Looks like the only way to truly understand Paxos is to formally model it. Lamport did it with TLA+, but this guy uses a new language called FizzBee to model the algorithm. The FizzBee language also looks easier to read.
>It isn't that hard to setup a secure SFTP server to automate the exchange

When you've got a trickle of information coming and going from hundreds or thousands of other individuals working at tens or hundreds of other entities it is.

You'd eventually wind up developing the kind of ridiculous "secure messaging and file drop" type service that every megabank builds on top of their SFTP and ticketing systems for that purpose. That stuff ain't cheap to run and keep running.

Better to just start with a solution that's 99% there.
That wasn't what it was being sold for, so no it isn't.

>> Authorities suspect that Huawei lobbyists have paid bribes to MEPs in return for backing their cause in the European Union.

No, it's not. If you represent a business there is an official way to express your stance and lobby for your cause but bribing MEPs is a criminal offence (both for the perpetrator and those who receive personal benefits).

This happened to plenty of people with Stripe as well.

Doesn't mean Paddle isn't a good place to start - but as you get bigger, you should probably look at other solutions as well, to de-risk your payments infra. It's just that at the start it's too expensive, even in B2B, to think about multiple payment providers to spread risk.
A flat white isn't a black coffee with stuff added, its an espresso with foamed milk added - and as another commenter said, the skill of the barista is largely in preparing freshly foamed milk with the coffee machine that lives with them behind the counter.

If you know all that and still think our coffee supply systems should go back to being more of a conveyer belt of foul tasting caffeine water, with accoutrements added by the user, instead of waiting in a queue for 20 minutes to get the 'best' flat white - yeah you might have a point

spies are some godmode infallable people. spies also are humans and can have varying degrees of freedom to express their stupidity in their work..

in our country some spies got caught drivin around with wifi pineapple in plain sight circling govt and ngo sites.

in my mind thats next level dumb stuff, but maybe they arent really hackers and think its not conspicuous, or even the opposite, they know exactly what it is but think 'oh normal people wont stop to think about this, they dont recognise such equipment'.

if you werent there, didnt know the guys in the van etc. etc. - its all just guesswork.

even public record of a sewer inspection right then and there at that time (which i kinda doubt exists) wouldnt confirm or deny what that van was really doing there.

that being said, i would _assume_ its a sewer inspection van. but thats an assumption, not a known fact.

I would even say there's a type of comment along the lines of "we've been adding Roentgens for decades, surely adding some more will be fine so stop complaining".

As a second-order effect, I think there's a decline in expected docs quality (of course depends on the area). Libraries and such don't expect people to read through them, so they are spotty and haphazard, with only some random things mentioned. No wider overviews and explanations, and somewhat rightly so, why try to write it if (nearly) no one will read it. So only tutorials and Q&A sites remain besides of API dumps.

There’s nothing to prevent them from allowing people to donate without a tax deduction AFAIK, but they don’t allow it. In the US, most donations no longer actually get deducted from taxes anyway due to the greatly increased standard deduction since 2017. I think something like 85-90% of people now just use that and don’t itemize.
i have answered in separate comment that you can run mcp clients and servers in windows.

Fair point, I went off what I was told from someone on the inside a decade or so ago, and I distinctly recall them referring to importing a pig and not ham.

You're thinking of HCSEC. In the majority of their reports they repeatedly complained that they couldn't even get binary equivalence with Huawei's deployed builds (which clearly obviates the value of any code review) but in the most recent available report from 2021 [1], they do report that Huawei had finally achieved that binary equivalence for a core product set.

The government chose to stop publishing HCSEC reports after 2021. I'm unable to work out whether HCSEC itself is still operating or not.

Yes it is exactly what we think is causing it. Students use LLMs to get 10/10 in assignments so they don't learn 'the thing' and they tank on the big-closed-books-non-LLM-exams.

BUT (apologies for the caps), back in the day we didn't have calculators and now we do. And perhaps the next phase in academia is "solve this problem with the LLM of your choice - you can only use the free versions of LLAMA vX.Y, ChatGTP vA.B, etc. - no paid subscriptions allowed" (in the same spirit that for some exams you can use the simple calculator and not the scientific one). Because if they don't do it, they (academia/universities) will lose/bleed out even more credibility/students/participation.

The world is changing. Some 'parts' are lagging. Academia is 5 years behind (companies paying them for projects help though), Politicians are 10-15 years behind (because the 'donors' (aka bribers) prefer a wild-wild-west for a few years before rights are protected. (Case and point writers/actors applying a lot of pressure when they realized that politicians won't do anything until cornered)

Why's everything gotta have arms and graspers it's so inefficient.

We have designed a lot of processes and workplaces around the assumption that the 'machine' working there will be be around 160-190 cm tall, with two arms with graspers on the end and equipped with stereo colour vision cameras. The closer you make your new machine match that spec the less changes you have to make to your current setup. It also makes it easier to partially swap in robots over time, rather than ripping everything out and building something completely new.

Having worked at a company close to this field, the real answer through is that both approaches are being done right now. People building new facilities from scratch are building entirely automated system where the 'robot' is the whole machine. People with existing facilities are more interested in finding ways to add robots to their current workflow with minimal changes.
This was all over the place. The article itself seemingly bares no relation to the headline. Replacing your laptop with a tablet and then complaining that the tablet cannot do the same things as the laptop was a slightly interesting take in 2010. The iPad has now been around for 15 years. A tech journalist being surprised it doesn't have a terminal with root access at this point is baffling.
it is security... block most of the world is also block most attacks to your infra...
The issue here is not really that someone is "disagreable". It is actual real world harm that goes on.

> You seem to be boxing with phantoms.

Not really. I am just listening to what the people we talk about say or do. You want me to pretend their motivations and ideologies are something they simply are not.
We old timers read the source code, which is a good proxy for what runs on the computer. From that, we construct a mental model of how it works. It is not "walking uphill 10 miles both ways". It is "understanding what the code actually does vs what it is supposed to do".

So far, AI cannot do that. But it can pretend to, very convincingly.
The usingnamespace language feature isn't used much by Zig itself, and there is talk about removing it. I wonder how Bun as a heavy user of usingnamespace would be affected - is it trivially replaceable? Do the alternatives add bloat?
I see your point about safety, but I think that needs to be be in the AI model than on the hardware side.
The problem is motivation. I’ve worked at companies that use policies like this, but you often only see a handful of def motivated folks really make use of it.
It’s “cede”.

Wild guess: they set it wrong on the first game (possibly by looking up the wrong parameter). On the next game, when they went to fix the sun position for the new location they realized the mistake and changed it to the original location as an easter egg.

The coincidence of the wrong position matching the location of the next game is strange though.

BTW in addition to the weights, it's also interesting to consider the precision of accumulation. f16 is just not enough for the large matrix sizes we are now seeing.

That's a weird attitude. Ignoring real problem and burying one's head into the sand until its too late is what got US into the mess it is in now.

Most programming languages that offer unsafe, either as language keyword, or meta package (unsafe/SYSTEM/UNSAFE whatever the name), have similar option, that doesn't make it less of a feature.
> Now we are building a machine so we don't have to do heavy thinking ourselves.

There are a lot of innovations that helped us not do heavy thinking ourselves. Think calculators. We will just move to a higher level of magnitud problem to solve, software development is a means to an end, instead of thinking hard about coding we should be thinking hard about the problem being solved. That will be the future of the craft.
Whew, that's a lot to type out and you have to provide words of encouragement? Wouldn't it make more sense to do a simple search engine query for a HTTP library then write some code yourself and provide that for context when doing more complicated things like async?
