Reading this, I wonder a few things that seem distro quick wins:

1) Why don't distros replace the glibc allocator with one of the better ones?

2) Why don't distros allow for making server-specific builds for only a few packages? You don't have to pay the compilation cost for everything, just a list of 2 or 3 packages.
> Rust is host to wide variety of extensions ranging from custom lints and diagnostics (“clippy as a regular library”) to integration and interop (ORMs, languages) to static analysis and automated reasoning

Yes, please, I would love that!
> Having someone born in the country they are looking to lead seems silly to you?

Yes and it looks especially silly for a country which used to pride itself on being composed primarily of immigrants. In fact the current president is one of the people who was pushing conspiracy theories about a previous president not being eligible - the "birther" movement around Barack Obama. At the time that movement was small enough and the far right was distant enough from the levers of power that people could laugh it off. But it would not surprise me whatsoever if in the future the US right pulled something similar to what Turkey did here, stripping a rival candidate or a portion of the electorate of their status to strengthen their own bid.

Challenge yourself to produce some numbers first. If there are many many many benchmarks it shouldn't be too difficult to link one. Just saying something is "well established" doesn't really help without some other context.
Trump and conservatives have a cycle of: First saying they want to do the bad thing. People listen and take it seriously.

Then "center" come and try to gaslight and accuse everyone of paranoia.

Then conservatives and Trump do the bad thing.

Then center shows Pikachu face "who could have know" and proceed to euphemism about what just happened, trying to excuse and explain it away.
A friend of mine mentioned RSS a few months ago. I asked him for a copy of his feed, and he gracefully sent me a curated list of about 30-50 blogs, job boards, and news.

I’ve removed some and added some. Anytime I come across an interesting blog post (here, Lemmy, Masto) I add the blog’s feed to my RSS reader. If the long-term content doesn’t match my taste I remove it unceremoniously.

>that's what I said, FOMO.

wow, faaak. I wrote my above comment off the cuff, although based on my intuition and common sense, but just now thought of googling FOMO, to check what Wikipedia says about it, and it seems they agree with me:

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

relevant excerpt, from near the top of the above page (emphasis mine):

>FOMO can also affect businesses. Hype and trends can lead business leaders to invest based on perceptions of what others are doing, rather than their own business strategy.[19] This is also the idea of the bandwagon effect, where one individual may see another person or people do something and they begin to think it must be important because everyone is doing it. They might not even understand the meaning behind it, and they may not totally agree with it. Nevertheless, they are still going to participate because they don't want to be left out.[20]

leaders, huh? more like followers, aka sheep. include me out.

That doesn't seem right. While I agree that not being able to copyright AI generated commercial code is problematic and reason for avoiding it, the need to transfer all rights to customer doesn't seem like one of them.

Following your logic you couldn't use any third party library open source or not since you don't own copyrights to them either. Can't even use an existing compiler since parts of standard library will be embedded in it's output.

I assume what's actually intended in such cases is transferring all the rights necessary so that customer can afterwards do whatever they want with software without your permission, including making modifications, hiring someone else to further maintain it or even reselling it. It can still be a valid requirement not to depend on any commercial libraries which require temporary licensing or otherwise restrict customers ability to do what they want with combined software. Same applies for open source libraries with restrictive license (especially stuff like GPL).

When no one owns copyrights - everyone does. Both you and you custom have full rights to copy and distribute those parts of software as do everyone else, you just don't own exclusive rights (copyrights) to control whether and how anyone else can also copy those parts of software. Do you own copyright for number "10", does it mean you can't use it in your software.

The potentially problematic part is when you are trying to sell a commercial product and someone "pirates" it. If it's not copyrightable there is no piracy. In practice even largely AI generated software will contain some copyrightable parts, but the enforcement will probably still get a lot messier and no legal team wants that. In theory some could only copy the non-copyrightable parts and substitute the parts which weren't AI generated.

I suspect that underlying OS will cease to determine what apps it runs, when the iOS and OSX both run on Apple ARM instruction set chips. Emulation isn't the word, but some level of ABI compatibility through translation layers, and the union of the two OS behind one model feels like work well underway.

It may be the primacy of keyboarded input has been taken as a given to appeal to one market segment, and that OSX does that better. I'm not convinced it's true, the primary problem for me in soft kb is the lack of tactile feedback but the secondary problem is .. unreliability. Even in sideways mode I find (on Samsung android which is in many ways best of breed) its a strange experience.

Those were the system. The core Americanness of American democracy is white supremacy, and there's a huge number of voters who will demand repression for other Americans. Usually defining them as "not Americans" along the way, as with the attack on birthright citizenship and green card holders.

I'm too tired to respond to the two detractors, but it's hilarious that one of the arguments against Rust is pulling in packages. Some of the best packages, at that. I wonder if that's their argument against most other languages.

Big standard libraries are a mistake, because the language is forever left with shitty old design decisions. Python's standard library is full of crap.

I might just put together a side by side Flask / Go / Rust. It'll be so damning against Python and Go. Rust is the same LOC count, complexity, and yet is a nicer language, better type system, and is as fast as nginx.

People don't know how good Rust webdev is.

I don't think this is a reasonable take (and also doesn't make sense). If you read the other comments here its extremely clear to everyone that no one here is seriously concerned about your watch sending spam.

If you 'opt-out' then it does not fix the problem of spammers having easier access to imessage.

I'll say that again: If you personally, either a) opt out, or b) dont have a watch at all, it makes no difference to spammers. They are not sending spam using your watch.

People are concerned about the result of allowing anyone to send messages in general.

...

The real argument to be made here is, as other people have pointed out, this isn't technically impossible; I mean, apple watch can do it right?

So there is a solution; but Apple isn't allowing other people to use it.

THAT is the issue here.

Pretending there is 'no issue' is flat out wrong. If that what you think, you're wrong and you haven't understood the problem.

The issue is why only Apple is, according to Apple, technically capable of implementing the controls required to do it in a secure manner.

That's a fair question to ask, and there really isn't a strong answer for it.

Certainly, making it easy for anyone to send messages would not be a solution. That would be stupid. That's why they haven't done that.

...but, you have to ask, is there really no certification process that would do the job? Really? None? Only Apple engineers are smart enough and diligent enough to do it without screwing it up? Hmmmmmmmmmm...
The EU was created to integrate and unify social security, pension systems, welfare states, and, ultimately, politics and policy—both foreign and domestic.

I couldn’t care less about Apple’s case, but the fact that this is being touted as the EU’s biggest achievement in decades says a lot about why Europeans don’t like the EU.
> The locals have just as vehemently rejected being part of the USA.

My comment did not mention the US. The key point is that Greenlanders don’t want to be slaves to Denmark. It’s a euphemism because your comment - and Danes and the EU in general - don’t seem to recognize that colonialism is alive and well in Denmark’s relationship with Greenland. That’s why virtually all the political parties in Greenland support independence.

As for this euphemism:

> China isn't trying to buy Greenland

This is just a euphemism to justify the lack of any concern over European economic ties with the authoritarian dictatorship that rules China. If Europe wants to divorce from the US due to its principles, they should first have no business ties with China whatsoever. This thing about Greenland is not even remotely a justification for continued support of the CCP.

More definitions that don't mention rationality:

AI agents are software systems that use AI to pursue goals and complete tasks on behalf of users. They show reasoning, planning, and memory and have a level of autonomy to make decisions, learn, and adapt (Google)

Agents “can be defined in several ways” including both “fully autonomous systems that operate independently over extended periods” and “prescriptive implementations that follow predefined workflows” (Anthropic)

Agents are “automated systems that can independently accomplish tasks on behalf of users” and “LLMs equipped with instructions and tools” (OpenAI)

Agents are “a type of system that can understand and respond to customer inquiries without human intervention” in different categories, ranging from “simple reflex agents” to “utility-based agents” (Salesforce)

> who's queuing up to buy Russian goods now?

They are a resource extraction economy and there will always be a buyer for those.

> The "economic isolation/sanctions will work any day now" strategy doesn't seem to be delivering

> We've proven that territorial conquest will be expensive and time-consuming

Well, which one is it? If the former, why would they deescalate at all?

The point is that they don't need (just) any part of Ukraine, or to save face or any of that. That's not why they started the war. Their goal is to take down the world order in which the coalition of western democracies decides what goes - after all you can't buy whole nations, but you can always influence corrupt authoritarian leaders. Until that goal is achieved, Russia will keep waging wars, while also destabilizing said democracies by financing ultra-right/populist politicians and pushing Goebbels-like propaganda and conspiracies to their people.

The west simply doesn't have a choice if it wants to remain free and in control; it needs to keep up the pressure until the Russian regime runs out of money for the war and/or gets changed from within.
> because you asked and they complied, there's a work contract between said photo-button presser and you.

That's not how contract law works.

> The implicit agreement is that you own the copyright to the photo, and the consideration paid is a word of thanks from you.

Even if there was an otherwise valid contract, with this as an implicit term, you can't transfer copyright ownership from the actual author by implicit agreement: "A transfer of copyright ownership, other than by operation of law, is not valid unless an instrument of conveyance, or a note or memorandum of the transfer, is in writing and signed by the owner of the rights conveyed or such owner’s duly authorized agent." (17 USC Sec. 204)

How many good mainland Chinese animated films can anyone name?

How many animated films do a good job weaving in Chinese traditional folklore themes?

How many mainland Chinese films have a twist that ends with a suggestion that the youth of today might be best off ignoring the advice of the powers that be?

It's maybe the best Chinese animated film, a culturally rich Chinese film, and arguably gets unbelievably spicy with its social commentary by Chinese standards.

And it's often animated family friendly films that do well.

It's extremely popular with Chinese speakers, and that sells a lot of tickets.

Pairing an iphone with a third party device is already something that apple does, for instance in the case of personal hotspot.
I guess. I mean my own services get fake reviews without my involvement. I have a B2B software business for which I know all customers personally and still there is a product page on G2 reviews (which I didn't create) full of fake reviews, and I haven't been able to take them down (though I haven't tried too hard to be honest). I don't know what's the deal with that, I guess it's just about warming up fake reviewer accounts by writing reviews for products where it's unlikely that they will get flagged. They are all glowing reviews too, which I guess makes sense as writing a bad review would surely prompt a response from the affected company.

The article doesn't seem to even consider that option and I don't see any comment here mentioning this either. Am I missing something?

> Isn't AI just a tool here like any other?

In this case, no, because the human involved explicit sought a copyright registration listing the AI as the author, and claims that the work was entirely the product of the AI.

(In point of fact, yes, the AI is a tool used by a human, and to the extent the work may be copyrightable, copyright should have been sought listing the human author; but that's not what happened, and the case deals with the legality of what was actually sought, not what arguably should instead have been sought.)

> Non tech people deciding on tech cases.
