"seemingly arbitrary state violence is an old, well-established tactic of states"

You weren't referring to the subsequent "war on terror," relating the state response to that to the state reponse to this? It was just thrown in unrelated?

> But because it was seemingly random, people thought it could happen anywhere.

While people everywhere did fear, what was "seemingly random" about targeting: the Pentagon, the US Capitol, and the most prominent buildings in the NY skyline, which had already been targeted before in a bombing plot by the same groups?

France is in decay with incompetent and unpatriotic governments for decades.

It is facing many issues but has lacked strong leadership courageous enough to put country first. So, in fact, it is a fairly typical European country...

The spread of "narcotrafic" is an example of that, there are others. If you follow French news you'll see many.

French want less criminals and immigrants in the street. Whatever it takes.

I'm french, i have not heard any people, work, street, even television or internet speak about that.

The sad truth is that it wouldn't even solve the issue, criminals will always be able to use encrypted communications. there are open source software that can't be tampered with, software that doesn't use a single server where backdoor can be put, or they could even simply encrypt their text message. i could do that from my mac terminal and Bruno Retailleau isn't going to put a backdoor in my mac terminal...

In what way was I promoting or justifying anything?

I mean it's horrible if you car is destroyed by dumb and violent people (just burning lithium batteries makes it much worse, which IMHO is the greater crime but that's somewhat tangential) but if it doesn't affect you financial it's not a big deal and you are much less of a victim than the fire fighters who have to put out that fire.

Damage to property seems secondary and barely significant compared to uncontrolled burning of dangerous materials. Thinking otherwise is quite something...

The uutils project has the right goals - 1:1 compatibility with GNU coreutils to the extent that any difference in functionality is a bug.

The first comment on LWN is about a bug in the more(1) from uutils. I checked out that code, found some oddities (like doing stat() on a path to check if it exists, right before open()ing it) and went to check against how GNU coreutils does it.

Turns out coreutils does not do it at all, because more(1) is from util-linux. ta-dam.

Exactly. That's what the title should be.
The problem is that the requirements can be vastly different. A collaborative editor is very different to say syncing encrypted blobs. Perhaps there is a one size fits all but I doubt it.

I've been working on sync for the latter use case for a while and CRDTs would definitely be overkill.
IPR is a tool that weakens all patents. Saying it helps trolls at the expense of everyone else (which this article says) is a bad faith argument. Weakening IPR helps all patent holders fight for their rights, including trolls. Considering how the tech industry has bullied its way past numerous rightful patents, this seems like it could be reasonable or might not be.

If you think we should have no patents be my guest, but this helps non troll patent holders and not just trolls.
sadly this raises the possibility of the bro-op
Reminds me of Itanium
I like having containers running as CronJobs or Deployments in Kubernetes, but Argo Workflow has been a pretty reliable plugin to Kubernetes for the more advanced scenarios.

However, it’s simple only if you are already familiar with software containers and Kubernetes. But it’s perhaps better to learn than having to deal with dependency hell in Python or Java.
The solution is to improve pubic transportation and other alternatives so that they are the better option. As more people take it, redesign the roads and cities around those alternatives to cars to make them even better. That's how you stop.

Give people something better and they'll line up to take it. The problem is that doing that requires a major public investment. It's a lot harder to say "We're going to spend billions to make public transport worth taking even for people who already own cars" than it is to say "We're going to punish people for using cars and take their money and make many people's lives worse, but mostly just the poorest people so you probably don't have to worry and in fact you'll have fewer cars on the road when you drive them"

The auto industry had no problems spending a fortune bribing politicians in order to make cars more attractive to people by redesigning our cities around them and hurting anyone who didn't own a car. We need to be ready to spend the money to undo what they did.

Making an open ecosystem will never be in the best interest of their shareholders. They didn't make it to the top of Wall Street by accident.

Why would they make profit on their hardware alone if they can have an almost passive income in the form of an app store.

They'll put as many scary pop-ups as they can to prevent a regular user from installing third party software as they can.
They'll block third party developers from integrating with their ecosystem as much as they can get away with.

It'll be really interesting to see how much EU can influence them, but I wouldn't hold my breath to see them doing more than absolute bare legal minimum.
the problem with backdoored encryption isn't making a cypher with multiple decryption keys. It's keeping secret that's worth billions of dollars and shared among 10s of thousands of people. The difference between backdoored encryption and no encryption is whether the backdoor is known to the public.

There is a coherent set of values that lead to saying "no encryption", but not one for "only backdoored encryption".

Speaking of OS development, games make learning fun. I had the idea of making a game to teach operating systems while taking a journey through the history of computers. The player would play the part of the process scheduler and interrupt handler, starting on a single CPU system with very limited RAM, before growing to SMP systems then maybe getting to multi-system distributed computing platforms that we have today.

The backdoor mandate was part of an anti organized criminality law, Bruno Retailleau (interior minister) pretend criminals use encrypted chat to communicate and so backdoor is required to intercept their communications.

makes sense to the average non tech people.

The sad truth however is that it wouldn't even solve the issue, criminals will always be able to use encrypted communications: there are open source software that can't be tampered with, software that doesn't use a single server where backdoor can be put, or they could even simply encrypt their text message.

i could do that from my mac terminal, encryption is basically mathematics. Bruno Retailleau isn't somehow going to put a backdoor in every device that could be used to encrypt. People even used to encrypt communications before computer.

The only looser of that law is the normie, you and me, who use whatsapp or signal to chat and couldn't ever push their relative to use things like pgp encrypted email.
That depends on your frame of reference

People always say they have data. Then you look at the data and it's full of confounders or confuses cause and effect or expects to see a stark instantaneous effect from something that gradually affects long-term population-level life choices.

Most data is trash. If the data is contrary to reason then either the reasoning is wrong or the data is wrong, but for anything with public policy implications it's more likely to be the data because policy data is disproportionately generated by people trying to influence the result.

Also notice that the benefits of the policy aren't limited to the thing you're disputing. Eliminating transit fares still removes a regressive tax, increases the government's revenue collecting efficiency by eliminating the transit collections infrastructure costs and improves privacy by stamping out a mass surveillance system regardless of what extent it reduces traffic congestion. Which means that if you're trying to reduce traffic congestion, you should definitely start there because it very well could work and it's something you should be doing anyway.

> This is not symbolic of any pointed move away from GNU components - it's literally just about replacing coreutils with a more modern equivalent. Sure, the license is different, and it's a consideration, but it's by no means a driver in the decision making.

Sorry, don't believe this one bit. I'm very thankful for everything Canonical/Ubuntu did about 20 years ago, but no thanks. This comes from someone who loves Rust and what it made possible. However, freedoms are too important to not treat anything that looks like an attack on them as such.
Modern CI tends to grow features until it's reproduced the all the features of a build system. You then end up with the actual logic of your build smeared across mutiple layers. Or contorting your CI setup to allow the build system to do caching etc properly.
Yeah don't reply to them. They are likely chatting outside of this site on a chat server and seeing who they can taunt. I've not seen a big swing upward but they are active every day and seem to be more active in specific times of the day. Timezone specific. It's not a new or unique issue to this site.

Wouldn't law enforcement just use Pegasus style zero-days to spy on the their targets? So why all the hubbub about making backdoors that become vulnerabilities for nefarious users too?

Like why bother convicting Signal to create a backdoor for you, when you can put your nations geniuses to find some RCE bugs in Qualcomm or Apple modems or SoCs, and spy on them that way? This way nobody's the wiser.
Yes, this is exactly what I mean! It’s like I’ve triggered some sort of neurotic breakdown. It’s actually slightly upsetting because you can see it trying, but then clearly deciding that it isn’t good enough, scrapping the work and trying again.

Could you elaborate on this? How does many-small-CPUs make for a weirder programming model than a GPU?

Im no expert, but I’ve done my fair share of parallel HPC stuff using MPI, and a little bit of Cuda. And to me the GPU programming model is far far “weirder” and harder to code for than the many-CPUs model. (Granted, I’m assuming you’re describing a different regime?)
The author is excited to talk about helping the employee grow and have more impact, which (if successful) should make them more valuable to the company, resulting in promotion and increased compensation.

He perceives employees who want to talk with him about "leveling" as seeking the formula or checklist to get paid more, and not necessarily about growing or putting in the work.

The latter is fine if your performance objectives are objective and directly aligned with company success (i.e. achievement of sales quotas). It's more fraught if your performance objectives are more subjective or defined in ways that are proxies for company success—it's easy to fall prey to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law where employees do the things that get them promoted, which may actually make them or the company more valuable.
I am heartened by AI now being able to decipher my grandma's letters.
Habitica has been around for a long time. There's papers written on it, and people are still writing papers on its effectiveness on ADHD and depresssion. Something like Finch is around for depression.

I think it's more that people who have ADHD have been gaslighted by people who insist they were just lazy. If it can be fixed with a todo app, it's "not a real illness".

There's low carb apps and there's diabetes apps. Both do essentially the same thing and yet they're almost never in the same market. Low carb is marketed as weight loss.

The other problem is that every app targeting mental health will gaslight you and call it CBT. It started with Noom. Many of them don't just feel clinical, they feel outright manipulative. Nobody wants to do a ton of surveys, but if you want something to prove successful, the only methodology they have is a ton of surveys.
Why Tool AIs Want to Be Agent AIs (2016)
Tangentially, France has had the CNIL [1] since ~1978, following a scandal about creating a national citizen's database, and exists to prevent exactly that. (I believe the objection stemmed from memories of the Petainist fascist regime during WW2)

The CNIL is why France (and now Europe) has "Right to Forget" laws. It is the direct ancestor of stuff like GDPR.

Unfortunately, I feel like the CNIL is fairly neutered nowadays. Nevertheless, it serves as historical precedent, for those who remember it exists.

The link mentions "a feature that triggers on the Golden Gate Bridge".

As a test case, I just drew this terrible doodle of the Golden Gate Bridge in MS paint: https://imgur.com/a/1TJ68JU

I saved the file as "a.png", opened the chatgpt website, started a new chat, uploaded the file, and entered, "what is this?"

It had a couple of paragraphs saying it looked like a suspension bridge. I said "which bridge". It had some more saying it was probably the GGB, based on two particular pieces of evidence, which it explained.

Then how do you explain the interaction I had with chatgpt just now? It sure looks to me like it recognized the GGB from my doodle.

It's simply scraping data, what significant problems may it cause? Cache pollution? And thats'it?

I’m deeply skeptical of UBI.

For one it would amount to rapid inflation that would erode much of the purported benefits. This is hard to argue with after we watched pandemic stimulus do exactly this. It made wealth inequality substantially worse. The average person is in the red. The wealthy scored.

Assuming you find some way to address that, the next problem is it doesn’t work with a democracy. People will vote for whoever offers to raise the income, and politicians will pander to it. Also hard to argue with after politicians on all sides promised tax cuts and increased spending despite running wartime level deficits.

UBI is nice in theory. In practice, I don’t see how you fix those issues.

While I generally agree with your position, this is the same unconvincing argument I've read for a long time.

Even if there is a specific criminal gang that is sophisticated enough to use a properly encoded open source application, the majority aren't, and there is enough of a overhead and annoyance factor that will allow the majority not to use them.

If any open source application gets enough people using it, there will be plenty of opportunity for the maintainers to be bullied into submission to the state. Then the fragmentation will begin ("You need to use this branch, that branch is compromised").

If 10-20% of your full time job as a criminal is keeping your communication encrypted, that's probably a win for the government.
My point being, it's "based on" Web Standards, it is _not_ Web Standards.

What if I use `fetcher.submit(data, { encType: "application/json" })`? Why not just use fetch directly at that point? I believe it adds a layer of indirectness that just wasn't there before.

If web standards are so important, why don't we use `window.fetch` and `new FormData()` directly instead of wrapping it?

You could also cross in a raft. Or on a log. You can swim across (riskily, quite riskily) at the straight of gibraltar itself. We've known humans have been seafaring tens of thousands of years before our earliest archaeological evidence (although dugout canoes are likely just as old, it's very bad conditions for preservation outside of stuff like northern european bogs/the dead sea, and they often just look like logs underwater, not boats)—at no point has Australia been fully connected to continental asia. Hell, this is true for H Erectus, let alone h s sapiens—it's not difficult to believe H Erectus might have pieced together how to lash logs together.

On articles like this, I strongly recommend just ignoring the title. It's enough to make anyone with a mild background in the subject frustrated. The research itself remains incredibly interesting.
