Not all products can be a box with a single red button on top.

And the best documentation is useless if someone doesn't bother to use it.

Also, it's normally a few annoying customers that want to be hand held, rather than all customers having the same problem with the same issue.

That's a great analogy. For me it is a very similar feeling that I get ripped out of "problem solving mode" into "code review mode" which is often a lot more taxing for me.

It also doesn't help reviewing such code that sometimes surprisingly complex problems are solved correctly, while there's surprisingly easy parts that can be subtly (or very) wrong.
I'll give a serious answer. The AI code completions are way faster and way easier to read for issues than me typing code out by hand. That's already a good 10-20% productivity boost right there for me.
Yes it is, I just converted my work scripts over this afternoon.

It's good they know they need to be cautious about it (a year seems a bit optimistic though), but "haven’t had many issues" kinda sounds concerning if it means I cannot boot (or given sudo-rs lacks sudoedit currently, locking me out the system)...

https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/carefully-but-purposefully-ox... seems to have more discussions asking why they're not using existing infrastructure to manage the transition.
I don’t understand the point of Manus. I don’t need an agent that can kind of do my taxes and kind of plan a vacation and kind of analyze the stock market. If I want to do my taxes, I need a computer program that is very good at doing that and only that. And building that highly specialized computer program looks a lot like writing the software we’ve all been doing for 50 years.
It’s not uncommon for site firewalls to be configured this way for business that do not do work internationally.
"Bad faith" just means "I disagree" huh? That "2-3" should be zero. Activist woke BS needs to be excised from Mozilla. It all brings nothing but conflict, waste, and censorship. Tech companies need to focus on tech. Go peddle your cancer somewhere else.

This is a good idea on paper. But it turns out that having a for-profit corporation (as Mozilla Corporation is) accept donations, especially donations earmarked for certain purposes, is understandably tricky from a regulatory and tax standpoint. You can do it, but it comes with lots of rules and restrictions, and constrains the company in weird ways that kind of make sense, since it's kind of similar to money laundering. (And I'm not talking about tax deductible donations, which are a no go for obvious reasons. "Don't pay us $50 for our product, donate $50 and we'll give you the product for free, and you'll lower your taxes!")

The Mozilla Foundation is what you can donate to, and you can do it because it's a non-profit. But it doesn't make Firefox. It owns Mozilla Corporation, which does. And it can't just dump donated money into Mozilla Corp either; regulators are not naive.
it's called revenge climbing :-)
I have to agree here. I do a lot of written work and thinking still. If I put my “lowest common denominator user” hat on, the iPad seemed like an obvious choice to throw all this at as it has a reasonable “paper” implementation. Cue buying an iPad Pro, Noteful and using the files app to replace reference books and physical notepads.

It just didn’t work. There are so many constraints and it’s not just the software but the fact it has only one screen. I need about 4-5 iPads to be equivalent and that’s not even remotely practical or possible.

This is notably not unique to the iPad. No tablet would be good for this work.

As for the generic computing stuff it’s not even good for consuming content - the screen is too shiny. If you add a keyboard case to it you might as well buy a MacBook Air.
In the past I have donated on a monthly basis to Mozilla, around 15$.

However, due to obscene CEO pay during a massive decline in Firefox's market share, as well as very questionable privacy and diversification (thus loosing focus on their core product) moves over the years, I stopped donating a few years back.

If Mozilla were to lower CEO compensation, and shift focus more towards the browser, as well as position themselves better when it comes to privacy, then I would consider donating again.

Lastly, Mozilla should have a way for donations to be marked specifically for Firefox, rather than them going into a big pool.
An App registration is the overall object. Think of it like a class in OOP.
An enterprise app is an instance of an app registration. Think of it like an object in OOP.

For single tenants this might seem confusing, because you have both for a single app.

But if you were to have multi-tenants apps, each tenant would have their own Enterprise App instance, all referencing the same App Registration.

appId is for App Registrations.

objectId is for Enterprise Application Registrations.

clientId will be same as appId. It is used in the context of authentication, where it is the id of the object as client.

This is like having a small store and instead of locking up at the end of the day, blaming the door for not automatically locking. Yes new automatic locks exist now, but you still need to check.

Cloud technology allows us to build fantastic software very fast. But if you’re too lazy to implement a basic api to get S3 data on a needs to know basis, that’s on you.

AWS makes this very easy. You can’t blame anyone else.
You could still do this in the GUIs of 25 years ago, you'd just memorize the keyboard shortcuts and use them. They'd buffer so you could type a series of operations faster than the screen could render them, and basically every function was accessible from the keyboard. But the GUI had the advantage of discoverability - if you didn't know the keyboard shortcut, you could just work your way through the menus and find it.
Money ≠ Wealth.
Currency ≠ Money.

As long as we use inflationary currency, the wealth gap will widen.

If people could save money without worrying about deminishing of its' value, the gap will mend itself to natural levels, along skill/merit lines, as opposed to family inheritance/connections.
Then they could also aquire wealth without needing to pawn it off to keep paying the bills.
If you can learn a foreign language, why not AI. Translation does not rely on grammar structure since these can be learnt. The attention model specifically designed to handle these dependencies in translation, which then led to development of AI in other tasks. You will be surprised.

For old translation systems, you are absolutely right though.
Those are all states that have multiple timezones for the same longitude. Travel North or South and you change time zones.

You can also add Arizona to the list, but for only part of the year, as Arizona and the Hopi nation do not follow daylight savings time, but the Navajo nation, which fully surrounds the Hopi, does

Ignore the first sentence in Tyler Cowen’s post here, where he asserts that Manus is ‘for real, and ahead of its American counterparts.’ That’s a rather silly way of summarizing the situation, given everything we now know.

This paper - https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-023-01050-7 - suggests the use of sulphur dioxide is not trivial, it is linked to about 800,000 deaths per year and that ocean going shipping is responsible for "403,300 premature deaths a year and 14 million cases of childhood asthma".

Seems far from clear to me that we can just limit the use close to shore as the author argues, especially in a landlocked sea like the Mediterranean.
The system is, indeed, set up to minimize revolutionary churn. The tilt that we're seeing right now towards fascism and white nationalism has been some 40 years in the making. It takes a lot of organization to tilt the whole thing.

This is a feature, not a bug. The system is architected, when something is controversial, default to no motion.
Ahhh!!! That makes a lot of sense. I had no idea. I ended up catching one of the old Asian bird flus some time back, and grabbed BSG to get through it all. What was going to be a show here and there ended up turning into a binge watch as well. No idea if that was good or bad for getting over that flu, but it sure made it enjoyable!

And yeah completely agreed on the various arcs in DS9. I suppose the idea of episodic content was to try to ensure that a viewer didn't feel confused/left out if they ended up missing an episode, but you can do sooo much more with arcs and anyhow, there's always the 'Last time on DS9...' intro spiel. The Dominion/Jem'Hadar/Vorta/Founders were such a memorable and somehow sympathetic (well... in part) antagonist.

Somehow thinking about that (as well as the Cardassian/Garik arcs) made me go look up the Chain of Command TNG episode [1]. And yeah, lo and behold, Ron Moore was there too. What a talent.

Department of education cuts are the most disliked by Americans. And that is despite years of right wing attacks on public education.

Most people are actually happy with own public school and unhappy about generic unspecified other bad schools they read about on media.

To me that says her gaze is fixing the shrine.
It does entitle you to warn others not to waste their money by donating unless they're big fans of feminist African studies
Right. The money would be a gift to a foundation where he couldn’t control it. A no strings attached 100% tax deductible gift to the foundation with the only strings that they focus on the browser and survive on the interest, and lay off unnecessary management (10-20 dedicated web engineers and a PM and an HR person what else do you need).

But do you also want the browser beholden to the parent company of its direct competitor?

This is a fantasy land hypothetical of course as we know exactly the kind of guy Marc is, he’ll want a say.
KDE have constantly been better than Windows interface.

And I don’t even use KDE (but I still like it and it was my first DE on Linux like 20 years ago).
It would be better to share screens across your devices easily. Your problem is not limited to web apps. What if I want to resume an iPad App on a Mac when I get home?

Also Cloudflare might one day offer a product that does this.
It's not clear what point you are trying to make because so far you are describing problems common to all programming languages.
The media coverage at the time (which I followed closely because I worked in this space) indicated that the UK was under a great deal of pressure from the US to ban Huawei. The US was allegedly concerned that the use of Huawei equipment would allow US/UK shared intelligence to be eavesdropped by the CCP. The US pressure was widely viewed in the UK as having an economic purpose disguised as security.

Looking forward to trying this out.
I think there was a thread on Reddit recently, where the thread starter had been forced to use his iPad for work a whole day. The user concluded (paraphrasing) "its like replacing a truck with a small sedan. Sure you can still haul many of the same things, but it will require a lot more work and trips back and forth"
It is the largest vendor, exactly because only a minority cares about using a UNIX shell on their tablets.
Developers always had the flexibility to create custom UI elements/colors etc even in native apps (albeit not as easily as using CSS). Even in SPAs, most UI elements follow the same style or pattern more or less (bootstrap/tailwind etc). It's the entire UI design itself that's not user friendly for enterprise/business apps (excessive padding, comically large UI elements etc).
Now if only this data found its way to some union organizer.
It is not an informative article, it's a piece designed to convey emotions and sentiments so readers are more willing to embrace author's view.
I have not looked at Manus but I could imagine that it uses the highly Specialized program for you and fills in the forms based on data it found.
We live in a world where the production of computers is largely guided by economies of scale, so if a handful of big companies lock down their hardware (and they do) that reduces my options significantly.

Apple is one of the largest computer companies and sells some of the fastest hardware on the market, yet it's totally gimped by their market segmentation. That space could easily be occupied by a different kind of company.

iPads are a waste of silicon. Yes, I do know better than the consumer.
Is it not generally true? If the information (i.e. problem and its answer) exists in the model's training corpus, then LLMs can provide the correct answer without directly executing anything.

Ask it what the capital of France is, and it will tell you it is Paris. Same with "how do I reverse a string in Python", or whatever problem you have at hand that needs solving (sans searching capability, which makes things more complicated).

So does not the problem need to be unique if you want to be able to claim with certainty it indeed has been executed? I am not sure how you account for the searching capability, and I am not excluding the possibility of having access to execution tools, pretty sure they do.
Covid pandemic likely unleashed by Chinese lab mishap
Hmm maybe I shouldn't be so sure of myself then. The comparison between LNG and coal that I was referencing was the comparison between coal and LNG's lifecycle emissions on the basis of like-for-like electricity generation (so it was slightly apples&oranges for me to say that).

I'd assumed that a main engine's efficiency with bunker fuel was awful and with LNG was much better, meaning LNG had emissions as a shipping fuel.

But I think taking into account the methane emissions of upstream production (which varies incredibly wildly depending on the production environment) LNG from most of the world (particularly the USA) will be a worse shipping fuel on a global warming basis than bunker fuel.

Thanks for picking that up.

The cooling effect of sulphur dioxide emissions (which make sulphates in the atmosphere) is a whole Pandora's box that I'm unqualified to open but yes, there's a significant cooling effect from the SO2 emissions of bunker fuel and the 2020 rules change on VLSFO dramatically slashed the shipping industry's SO2 emissions (noting that SO2 emissions have also been falling across the board, and shipping is only one component of that). https://ourworldindata.org/data-insights/sulfur-dioxide-emis...
I feel like this is also related to cursor getting worse, not better, over the past few months.
The government should stop wasting money on things that I don't care about.

(Especially the regulatory things that apply to me personally.)
That's a very nice definition! Thanks for sharing

Actually I think yellow is only appropriate if it's a lightning bolt. Otherwise it wouldn't make me think of electricity. Cyan hints is more "cyber" like Tron or something.

They don't care about logic and reason. We all know it. There are no stable moral or ethical values - transparency mayter then it don't depending on tactical needs.

On emotional level, they like it when someone else is harmed. And that is it.
The term was introduced so long ago, it's basically prehistoric now. Pointers are needed only for system programming language, they can be absent in systems programming language.
I don't understand how the author managed to connect iPads running a toy operating system with Microsoft's serious business operating system not being supported on older hardware.
This is a remarkable interview with someone who maintains one of those systems that has been in production for decades.

Many older people will have seen something similar.

But I've never read an interview like this.
I think the root cause goes deeper than that, and has to do with economic incentives. Up through the 90s, the predominant business model was you sell a product, people use it to get work done, if they're happy they tell their friends and you sell more product. Starting in the 00s, the business model became you give a service away for free, get people hooked, make them so dependent upon it that they can't look away, and then either jack up prices to extort as much money from them as possible, sell advertisements so that other people can do the same, or sell their personal data so that other people can target them with sales pitches. Actually getting any work done became secondary to making the transaction happen. This applies just as much to enterprise software as consumer software, because the purchaser of enterprise software is usually some IT department, purchasing department, or executive who doesn't have to actually use the software, and they will probably move on to the next company before the consequences of their purchasing decision being useless become visible.

We are reaping the consequences of that now, where lots of transactions are happening that don't actually make anyone happy or productive.

But you can see how that would filter down into UI design. When your incentive is to make people happy and productive, you spend time studying how people actually use the product, and then optimize that so they can use the product more efficiently. When your incentive is to turn people into mindless consumers that keep coming back for more ads, you spend time studying what sort of content holds the user's attention, and then optimize that so you can work as many ads into the stream as possible without them turning away. When your incentive is to sell enterprise software, you spend time studying what sales pitches will get the budget-holder to open their company's wallets, and then optimize the sales funnel to the extent of actual product usability. Even if your users hate you, they don't get to decide whether they keep using you.
No idea about earmarked donations, but I don’t think Corp would have any problem with donations in general. Designate it as “sponsorship fee” if you must.

But yeah, part of the problem is probably the fact that the Mozilla Foundation isn’t the one employing Firefox devs.
> Windows 10/11 it's a shit show. The last good Windows was 8.1. And the last great Windows was 7.

Yeh I think there's this weird stigma that stuck after Windows 8 was a bit iffy but 8.1 was fine.

I preferred Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 (and MUCH preferred it to 11) because at least it still had all the old core Windows control panel stuff under the hood. Windows 10 feels like a way more awkward mismash of things because they seem to have simply just taken a bunch of stuff away.

The zillions of different UI paradigms smooshed together started in Win8 but Win10 is where they really seemed to pile it on.

Anyway, I'm not a Mac user. But I absolutely see why they want to keep touch interface separate from keyboard & mouse. It's hard.
Chez scheme is still around and is a pretty stellar piece of software. I have found that finding bugs in smaller language implementations is uncommon, but not rare. At least once you leave the happy path.

I have written well over 100k lines of scheme that runs on chez and I have had zero issues. The documentation is clear with good descriptions of even hairy topics like macro phasing and the module system.
how was this made? What tools and process?
Yes, going back to previous designs is defo on my list of things to add later on :-)
I actually believed Obama when he spoke about ending the NSA's mass surveillance on the American people. He taught constitutional law. He knew exactly how wrong it was. I suspect that once he got into office he was either strong armed into changing his tune (and into ultimately giving the NSA more spying powers on the public) or he was shown enough secret evidence that it scared him into thinking it was necessary to violate the freedom of all Americans in order to keep us safe from terrorists. I'm not sure which scenario should worry me more, but at this point I don't think anyone in government has the ability to really stop the NSA.
