The US does have some very weird rules for its Presidents though, both written rules - the "natural born citizen" clause for example, or the minimum age (thirty five years old) and the unwritten rules - no women have ever been elected to this role although the rules don't forbid it, most Americans have also indicated they wouldn't elect anybody who admitted to atheism...
Not the same thing at all. Corporations care about their data a lot and would cancel deals over this. Noone cares if some authors get upset, they have no leverage. Disappointing how people will make confident statements while being so clearly clueless.
They asked about instances and you responded with nodes.

From the redis comment it sounds like the way to scale a redis node is to increase the size and run multiple instances in parallel.

Saying it's "apples to apples" would be like setting the thread limit to a competitor to 1, then saying it's a fair benchmark.
Mostly agree with you on that case. My initial thought on the matter also.

This theoretical car draws 1 MW for 5 minutes, pulling 83 kWh. Your normal residential address in America only uses 20 kWh all day long. The hard limit in a lot of areas is 25-30 kW continuous. Sure, they're building special charging stations, yet this is like 40 residential addresses running at max line limit consumption suddenly.

Looking at this a different way, lighting the entire SoFi Stadium (3.5 Disneylands for another scale), takes 10 MW. [1][2] Ten (10) of these cars pulling on the grid is like lighting an entire NFL scale stadium on game day.

Looking at something like Electricity Maps [3], the entire state of Texas is producing 47,700 MW (11.6 GW Gas, 24.3 GW Wind, 6.7 GW Coal, 5 GW Nuclear, and they're only exchanging 25 MW across their borders with other utilities. 25 of these cars is Texas's border electricity exchange.

Enormous, multi-state electricity organizations. Have 1000 of these show up to gas stations in some place like Texas, and you're suddenly pulling a substation chunk of the entire Texas electric grid all at once.

There are couple of things going on in that question.

1. There's a contingent that does not like the management of X, so they want to move elsewhere.

2. The technology aspect of it is irrelevant in the decision making, because most people don't understand it.

3. Moreover, a truly free, federated system doesn't alleviate any of their complaints about the platform, because, in that case, they would be unable to effectively quarantine the others.
I don't think it should be the primary operation, not with the scale that Bluesky has achieved. We need this in the Bluesky App so a handful of p2p weirdos can feel they are authentically using a distributed social platform without caesars and all of that.

I'll look into the registry override too, maybe I can hack something together around that.
You have conflated two arguments:

1. That it's harmful

2. That it's easy to do something else

(1) is the important point, (2) is irrelevant. On the important point, you seem to have assumed several things:

a) that it is harmful

b) that anyone to whom the assumed harm would occur would see it

c) that they would know what the camp looked like

(a) I see no evidence for this, in fact, research suggests the opposite[1]

> The strange paradox about triggers and PTSD – and this is true for all anxiety-related disorders – is that avoiding triggers makes the disorder worse, not better (Jones et al., 2020). Being exposed to small instances of one’s triggers, in a safe environment such as therapy where one can be helped to process the situation, is a way to gradually become less reactive to those triggers (APA, 2013). Many people have learned to reduce their reactivity to psychological triggers through this process, called exposure therapy.

and (b) really is a stretch, are we to believe there are people in the tech industry who are on-call and were interned in WW2 and will read this article and will have some kind of meltdown because of it? Why would their descendants react badly to it? Unless they have a pre-existing condition, that's untenable, and if they have a pre-existing condition then they should seek help for it.

And to (c), how would they even know what the camp looked like if they're so triggered by the thought of it? They have an aversion to it.

No, none of that makes sense, and cloaking it in "compassion" or trying to handwave scrutiny away because it would be a "low stakes" behavioural change won't hide it.

> Apart from that, I cannot associate with the picture either

We are intelligent people, the link is really simple to make. There being "better" choices does not make the picture a non-sequitur.

I'm sure I'm not alone in wishing this West coast American style of pop psychology being misapplied to real life would die a death.

By the way, George Takei (I believe that's who you meant) is 87, and he's not really in tech.

Just a tip with Apple watches: get the battery service at least once during the lifespan of your watch. It's $99 and Apple gives you a brand new watch.

With that battery service the watch should last you about 6-10 years judging by the current status of my Series 4.

Yes, a watch should be able to last a lot longer than that, but I think if you're buying Apple products you already have the expectation of a maximum 10 year lifespan just from software alone with just about the entire product lineup.

The Columbia incident was only a few months ago and they’ve been going through the process of building a case, pursuing legal options, and reviewing evidence.

The article says there were over 40 people involved and they’ve been building cases against each of them.

I don’t think there’s a conspiracy here. These things are a lot of work, involve a lot of lawyers, and take a lot of time. It’s only been a few months.

With that restriction, it has taken quite some time for a foreign adversary to have a puppet elected vs just shipping in some carpet bagger.

Having a minimum age also allows for some decent life experience. After all, 35 years old is not that old.
I just want to add that over the last few years Apple has also been teaching its users to ignore security warnings as they make it difficult to verify software and thus lots of stuff never does. Its why there's few free things in the App Store because Apple charges. You install things from GitHub and well you're gonna get that security warning.
It’s too bad there isn’t more momentum in the Mac emulation scene. It seems like it stalled out with SheepShaver and Basilisk II. The only new thing is “make it run in JS.”

I would love to see an emulator that could run later OS versions like Tiger.

ASLR is technically a form of security by obscurity. The obscurity here being the memory layout. The reason nobody treated it that way was the high entropy that ASLR had on 64-bit, but the ASLR⊕Cache attack has undermined that significantly. You really do not want ASLR to be what determines whether an attacker takes control of your machine if you care about having a secure system.

Generally speaking I agree and accept everything here, except the idea that 40% of the respondents "still" use an iPhone: I switched to one, because Android is absolutely atrocious for privacy and security, and running a hacked up custom OS is no longer something I have spoons for.

Agreed. Confusing. Wal-Mart will now offer BNPL services through Klarna in stores and online, replacing Affirm as the previous provider.
ASLR obscures the memory layout. That is security by obscurity by definition. People thought this was okay if the entropy was high enough, but then the ASLR⊕Cache attack was published and now its usefulness is questionable.

I'd be curious how the performance compares to this Rust jq clone:

cargo install --locked jaq

(you might also be able to add RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" to enable optimizations for your specific CPU family)

"cargo install" is an underrated feature of Rust for exactly the kind of use case described in the article. Because it builds the tools from source, you can opt into platform-specific features/instructions that often aren't included in binaries built for compatibility with older CPUs. And no need to clone the repo or figure out how to build it; you get that for free.

jaq[1] and yq[2] are my go-to options anytime I'm using jq and need a quick and easy performance boost.

If you find this shocking, you're in a quite fortunate bubble.
In our environments, we use Fedora. We run the package upgrades weekly in a test env and make sure the functional/integration tests pass successfully, then roll those forward to stage and prod envs. Very seldom (twice in 5 years) have we caught a problem in the lower environment that prohibited the upgrade from moving on towards prod. And in both of those instances, newer package upgrades in the test env fixed the problems within a week or two without us needing to open up an issue ourselves in the Fedora forums.

Still, after one nasty experience in 2023, we always wait six to eight weeks after a new Fedora version is released before starring to attempt one of those upgrades. This has worked spectaculary well for us. We get all the benefits of newer mainline kernel drivers for recent server motherboard chipsets and CPUs while maintaining a very solid OS. CVEs seldom even get close to us, since they are often based on much older versions of system packages.
this makes me depressed about american manufacturing
Gentoo lets you do all of the tweaks mentioned here within the system package manager, so you still get security updates for your tweaked build. You can also install Gentoo on top of another system via Gentoo Prefix for use as a userland packages manager:

Largely covered by the other quotes. I think it would be quite difficult to create a product worth protecting using "prompts alone".

No debugging? No editing? Who put the graphics on it? Who built the database and schema?

The co-author/co-editing approach is already blessed in the document linked earlier. Code is already subject to some of the best co-editing tools in the ecosystem. Even if someone manages to avoid co-editing tools, launch a product having used "prompts alone" and monetise it, how are you going to prove that they didn't take the co-editing approach to development? And how are you planning to challenge their claimed copyright? Why would you challenge their claimed copyright instead of just generating it yourself?

I could conceive of some kind of anti copyleft organization that dedicates itself to challenging every unskilled software development firm, using the discovery phase to pull records of what tools were used. But who would fund such a witch-hunt?

Or maybe every time some firm tries to assert their copyright, we will see lawyers hit back with "Prove you coded this and didnt generate it wholecloth via LLM" clogging up the courts for decades.

>The more it creates from pure prompts the lesser chance you have to claim copyright.

Yeah but unlike image generators and media articles its going to be a lot tougher to prove.

NovelAI has a feature where it does text highlighting based on:

"User wrote this"
"User edited this"
"Generated"

It sets this on a per sentence basis.

I have wondered for a long time whether this will become mandatory in some jurisdictions. But even then, if you copy the text, and paste it in a new window, bam its all considered user generated again.

> In the last few years we saw more 'interesting' economic ideas from Erdogan, like that high interest rates cause inflation

Basically a bailout for AKP aligned construction oligarchs like MAPA Group. Turkiye did the same thing in the 2000s that China did in the 2010s with real estate construction.

> Turkey seemed to be genuinely making progress, especially in terms of economic policy and outcomes. That's when he was still making fairly orthodox reforms more or less along the lines required by the EU for aspiring new members. (Yes, neoliberal reforms work!)

Yep, but moreso IMF, because Erdogan 1.0 still had to follow IMF terms and reforms from the 2001 bailout.

> So they have a half-baked solution written in a random menu instead of just having it work properly by default?

i fail to see how an option for moving (visible by default), in a move tool, is "a half-baked solution (..) in a random menu." you don't move around text with a text tool, so where else should it be?

> Seriously though, the text clickable area should be a bounding box of each line.

gimp allows an arbitrary bounding box size for text layers. this enables, among other things, to conform text into a specific bounding box (i.e., no need to manually press enter to keep text inside a specific area). calculating the hit point with a bounding box instead of the content will invite even more confusion as people complain that text layer keeps moving when "i pressed the other thing."

also because people often praise krita for being the sane one, without apparently having used either of them for more than 5 minutes, krita has 3 different "move" tools and 2 different resize tools for text, each doing different things. probably the most confusing decision on krita is to make "mouse pointer tool" vector only. the program does tell you to use the move tool when you try it, but they could have just... make bitmaps movable with the "mouse pointer." nothing i can think of prohibits them from doing this.

also krita's move tool defaults to moving the selected layer without a visible option to change this behaviour, unlike gimp. so gimp is actually better even by your standard.
Except China has been imperialist for longer than the US has existed. Then after the Qing dynasty fell and the CCP rose, they've been trying to imagine what the greatness of their past empire looked like and regain it. Their last empire was weak and out of touch with the world which caused self-inflicted humiliation. Now they're trying to form a stronger empire.

Taking territory, taking sea, influencing international institutions and so on. They've been using unrestricted warfare to wage probably the largest scale influence campaign of any country in history to get China's way in the world.

This, from a country that has very flexible views on the value of human life and sees the US's valuing of human life as a weakness to exploit. The CCP even used terrorist human shield tactics.

We've fought China's enemies more than we've fought China. Germany, Japan, England and Russia all took territory from China. We've fought or pushed back against all of them. I'm sure the Great Wall exists for reasons you can imagine too. All of its neighbors are basically some kind of empire and China isn't exempt from playing the same game.

People misunderstand our posture to our allies. We aren't losing them. We're making them stronger. The US and its allies all need to harden up, because that's the posture of China and Russia.

To topple the US, you would have to topple a bunch of states simultaneously, because the federal government is irrelevant in that regard. That only gives you a chance, not even a guarantee of overturning the constitution. Even then, in the worst case our allies would see the value of our continued existence and possibly intervene. Don't expect to see it any time soon.
