FWIW ActiveX specifically was really more so that Delphi is able to use the Visual Basic stuff than something native to Delphi. Components made for Delphi specifically are (usually) compiled as part of the final executable without needing ActiveX.

In fact AFAIK ActiveX support in Delphi was implemented by generating a wrapper component that converted the ActiveX control stuff to what Delphi "naturally" speaks.

For forms, even in Delphi 2 you can use the "align" property in several controls to automatically position them inside a container using the top, bottom, left, right and client area. The areas also stack so you can, e.g., position several controls at the top area and you'd get an effect similar to what a VBox container would provide in other toolkits. Though the initial versions of Delphi did not have this available everywhere, it was added to various controls over time.

Later versions also added "anchors" so that you can drag-drop stuff visually to the form but also have them resize automatically based on the parent's size. Lazarus (sort of open source Delphi-like IDE) extended this to allow anchoring stuff related to other control (so, e.g., you could have a button's right side a few pixels from another button's left side and that button's right side be a few pixels from the container's right side, or have a label be placed at the middle of an input box, or other stuff like that).

I think it's market leadership which is just free word of mouth advertising which can then lead to consulting business or maybe they can cheek in some ads in llm directly oh boy you don't know.

Also I have seen that once a open source llm is released to public, though you can access it on any website hosting it, most people would still prefer it to be the one which created the model.

Deepseek released its revenue models and it's crazy good.

And no they didn't have full racks of h100.

Also one more thing. Open source has always had an issue of funding.

Also they are not completely open source, they are just open weights, yes you can fine tune them but from my limited knowledge, there is some limitations of fine tuning so owning that training data proprietary also helps fund my previous idea of consulting other ai.

Yes it's not a much profitable venture,imo it's just a decently profitable venture, but the current hype around ai is making it lucrative for companies.

Also I think this might be a winner takes all market which increases competition but in a healthy way.

What deepseek did with releasing the open source model and then going out of their way to release some other open source projects which themselves could've been worth a few millions (bycloud said it), helps innovate ai in general.
Vibe coding an app in minutes: my experiment
As Scabld’s co-creator, I stepped into a user’s shoes: asked for a task app, got Flutter code + preview in ~10 mins. The speed blew me away, but it’s still rough, needs some polish before launch. We’re tweaking it daily. Curious what you’d expect from it? scabld.com
I tried the R1 distill of llama 8B, which did refuse direct questions about the massacre.

Haven’t tried this new model locally, but I agree with you that it looks like there is a secondary censorship going on. If I ask it to list the 10 worst catastrophes of recent Chinese history with Thinking enabled then it’ll actually think about the massacre. Gets blocked very quickly, but it doesn’t look like the thinking is particularly censored.
We as a society seem to enjoy doing that.

A lack of process isolation does not allow your SQL server security to be bypassed when the adversary is not on the machine in the first place. The adversary would usually fill out a field on a form, which is where SQL injection attacks usually occur:

OSv for example does not have process isolation, yet applications on it are not considered insecure.

It is, and being aware of that is crucial in having the right perspective on inventors (and same is true about scientific discoveries). That is, they're not some superhuman geniuses so far ahead the rest of humanity, that through sheer power of their minds, they can wrestle breakthroughs from the hands of gods. No, they're just specialists who were at the right time and place, and had the right experience, to be the first to pluck an invention that was already ripe for the taking.

This isn't to diminish the value of inventors. Even as all discoveries are tiny increments on top of prior work, so tiny they quickly become apparent to many people in a given field, it still takes exceptional skills, knowledge and smarts to be the first (or one of the firsts) to make that increment. That is worthy of respect. But at the same time, inventors are not critical to inventions - if not for the inventor we know, someone else would've done the same within months or years.
Underdiagnosis is a much bigger issue. There are millions who are dealing with this alone and without awareness that can help them.

What would some others be? I usually only see Peano's axioms.
This is a good POV. For a while there they did think they had a chance at finally figuring out how to solve the halting problem. They of course haven't, and had no chance to do so, but they wanted to discover that for sure, for themselves. So I admire them for trying. These days autofree handles about 95% of allocations, but what's left dangling is pruned by their very low cost tight cleanup looped GC. If you really need to you can do manual memory management, from my fairly substantial usage of the language so far I've been a satisfied customer for sure. I've found compiler bugs, strange behaviour, edge cases etc., yes the team are blunt and to the point, but they're the most professional language team I've ever interacted with, often responding within hours, one time a compiler fix was released the next day.

Would be prudent to speed up development of "mirrors" in other jurisdictions to protect against rewriting of history. I imagine that's what autocrats will do in the end.
Shouldn't matter, they should be expecting you to fall at any moment, as that's what happens when climbing

If it's a planned descent, usually you say "take" or similar to have the belayer hold the rope securely and then you ask to "lower" so the belayer lowers you in a controlled fashion.
These ads can also have ads blockers though.

Perplexity released the deepseek r1 1331? ( I am not sure I forgot) It basically removes chinese censorships / yes you can ask it about the tiananmen square.

I think the next iteration of these ai model ads would be sneaky which might be hard to remove

Though it's funny you comment about chinese censorship yet american censorship is fine lol
This is one of the rare cases where TAM is not even worth discussing; it's like food, or clothing- everyone is a candidate.

What's also interesting is the story after 1903. The big aircraft builder today isn't the Wright Company, it's Boeing and Lockheed Martin. The Wright brothers got embroiled in patent lawsuits (in particular against Curtiss), instead of continuing their developments. They eventually won, but Wilbur died in 1912 (possibly related to all the traveling done as part of the patent fights).

Actually, initially they even fought to have people believe in their success. They weren't that great at public relations, and it took a while for people to believe they had a working airplane.

There was also a feud with the Smithsonian. Until the forties, the Smithsonian considered a competing aircraft to be the first airplane (also related to Curtiss). In 1948 the Wright estate sold the first plane to the Smithsonian for a dollar, but the agreement stipulated that

"Neither the Smithsonian Institution or its successors, nor any museum or other agency, bureau or facilities administered for the United States of America by the Smithsonian Institution or its successors shall publish or permit to be displayed a statement or label in connection with or in respect of any aircraft model or design of earlier date than the 1903 Wright Aeroplane, claiming in effect that such aircraft was capable of carrying a man under its own power in controlled flight."

I guess this partially explains why the Americans only know about the Wright brothers as the original inventors of the airplane, as opposed to various national heroes in other countries.

Oh an btw, talking about companies. The company the Wright brothers founded still exists - it's now Curtiss-Wright, I guess Wright eventually merged with their worst enemy (and a bunch of other companies).

Too bad the Wright brothers didn't continue their developments as successfully as they started, and struggled to make it big on top of their invention. At least they got the recognition eventually.

Btw, the Smithsonian has a cool exhibit on the Wright brothers, really encourages to you read up on them. [1]

So no, then it clearly wasn't about shipping lanes and freedom of navigation but just about taking the credit. After all if Israel was going to do it instead it could simply be solved by waiting a little bit. These guys are super transactional and they were afraid they missed the moment that would allow them to take credit and use it as coin for exchange.
a) nobody, in production, asks those questions
b) chatgpt is similarly biased on israel/palestine issue. Try making it agree that there is a genocide ongoing or on Palestinians right to defend themselves.
This is again a problem compilers could have addressed, but didn't. Mostly because the users in the trenches did not care. Instead they flocked in droves to the compiler optimizing in the most aggressive way and rejecting everything costing performance. So I do not have the feeling that users were really pushing for safety. They are very good at complaining though.
> surprised Democrats haven’t snapped yet

There is no Democrat in the singular. There is a left-wing bloc defined, first and foremost, by identity politics and foreign policy views (namely, Palestine). There is a centrist bloc focussed on employment and wages (historically pro-union). And there is a free-trading bloc focussed on American enterprise and industry (historically pro Wall Street and the party's dominant wing through 2016 to 2020).

The second and third used to be aligned. Then, briefly, the first and second. Currently, nobody is aligned. The financial crisis cost the third group its moral standing. The third group's affiliation with the second lost corporate America and Silicon Valley to the Republicans. Then the middle group's alignment with the first lost its base to the anti-woke pitch. The first group remains cohesive, but it's too small and uncoordinated (e.g. voting for Trump for Palestine) to move the policy needle on its own.

is tenth percentile for some measures really that bad? hard to say, but i don't think that if double-digit percentages of people have some attribute that it should be labeled a disease or exceptional.

i have been diagnosed as having ADHD multiple times, both as a kid as well as an adult. my parents decided not to put me on drugs, and as an adult, i have found behavioral interventions to be the most useful. i have not found perceiving it as a disability to be very helpful.
In music school, I was in the position of having excellent relative pitch and zero perfect pitch. In the ear training courses, I actually scored better than the peers with perfect pitch, as it seemed they had difficulty with a lot of the exercises, particularly the by-ear transcription of the four-part bach chorale snippets.
I'm now pretty skeptical of books published after about 2021 or so. Maybe some certification body will spring up to help verify authorship?

It switches back on a whim for the most arbitrary things, though. In Windows the same can happen but I can at least temporarily disable an input if it is doing that.

Doing some things like disabling an input/output device, or an internal keyboard, or a webcam. Almost impossible. Even if there are some ways, they change so often. Let's say you have two cameras and an application that always picks the internal one. I couldn't find a way to disable the internal camera so that this app would pick the only available one.
And wez the end user get open source models.

I actually think that more countries need to invest into AI and not companies wanting profit.

This could be the decision that can impact the next century.
> the credit card company I use for dining will notify me via email if they think there has been an exorbitant tip outside of 45% or so

I once left a 100% tip and my CC company straight-up blocked the transaction. I get it, and that's certainly the safest response, but it was very embarrassing. Now that I think of it, that was when I started tipping in cash.
Was it Delphi or the installer? I do not have Delphi 6 but i have Delphi 2 and while the installer doesn't work out of the box (IIRC you can make it work with otvdm which can run 16bit programs on 64bit windows) you can simply just copy the files from the CD and it'll work.

Here is a screenshot from ~5 years ago when i was playing around writing a Quake 1 level editor in Delphi 2 under Windows 10[0] (i switched to using Linux as my main OS soon after and converted it to Lazarus[1]).

I'm hoping that the Matter protocol will help with local home automation. It is designed to work on the local network using IPv6 networking, with gateway between Wifi and Thread. The downside is that it is complicated from everybody involved in design.

The goal is that device companies will want to get rid of cost of developing cloud software, and effectively outsource it to Apple, Google, etc.
Talk to CV
>Contrast with the fact that you fundamentally cannot question religious ideology

Martin Luther was pretty successful in his questioning.

But I guess he did get excommunicated for it, didn't he?

Well, I guess that could easily be described as "not easy".
This is the reason IMO. Fundamentally China right now is better at manufacturing (e.g. robotics). AI is the complement to this - AI increases the demand for tech manufactured goods. Whereas America is in the opposite position w.r.t which side is their advantage (i.e. the software). AI for China is an enabler into a potentially bigger market which is robots/manufacturing/etc.

Commoditizing the AI/intelligence part means that the main advantage isn't the bits - its the atoms. Physical dexterity, social skills and manufacturing skills will gain more of a comparative advantage vs intelligence work in the future as a result - AI makes the old economy new again in the long term. It also lowers the value of AI investments in that they no longer can command first mover/monopoly like pricing for what is a very large capex cost undermining US investment in what is their advantage. As long as it is strategic, it doesn't necessarily need to be economic on its own.

I alluded to it above, but I'll say it again here: the only reason the K.O.G. was successful was because he controlled one of the largest budgets in the DoD and people were lining up to kiss his ass to get a piece of that pie regardless of his behavior.
Revealing much?
Correct.

But being open source and distributed under the GPL is not enough.

RedHat or SuSE have a more indeterminate future due to their shareholders control, frequent changes of owners, distro licensing or source code availability.

Debian, the distro, is almost boring but has the largest platform scope and one of the largest package base. Debian, the organisation, with its community, its policies, its social contract, its independence, has proven its resilience over and over again.

In addition to Debian's LTS and ELTS support, the Civil Infrastructure Platform (https://www.cip-project.org) provides Super-Long-Term Stable (SLTS) kernels for ten years. Want paid support ? Look at companies like Freexian. Want reproducible builds? (https://reproducible-builds.org) Look at https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds (And yes, I'm very aware of NixOS/Guix).

Thus, why start a new Linux distribution if we want sovereignty?

Let's support and build on the Debian project and community, the Civil Infrastructure Platform, the Linux Foundation, the reproducible builds projects. Let's support Proxmox, a EU-born VMware alternative based on Debian ! :-)

Developer resources are scarce, maintainers burnout is real. Let's not waste energy on futile projects. Let's build our sovereignty on solid, existing foundations.

I use LI a lot and noticed this trend and that any post that looked like that was garbage designed to create a lot of noise. They're easy to avoid now.

The press report from ICE does not confirm that they "knew some would be dubious". The press report makes it clear that all the purchases were not done above board.
I literally don’t know anyone who thinks your President is smart. He never said anything that’s insightful and worth discussing.

The press in your country is worthless for taking anything he says seriously. They’re either too afraid or too partisan to do their job on a level that’s acceptable in other western countries.

It’s very clear he’s a puppet that is being used to execute the plans of the Heritage Foundation. He gets carte blanche to take action on a few of his grudges and he’s free to line his own pockets. He’s basically a toddler that’s cooperating because of an ice cream.

Even his fake tan reminds of the cliché toddler photo. Minus the pasta.
> I'm sure the Democrats at some point will come back into power in a 50%+1 squeaker

Honestly? I'm not convinced they do—they seem to be content swapping back and forth, saying "well at least we're not evil". Which like sure, they're not trying to burn the country down, and that's a good thing, but they don't seem to be putting any effort in stopping the country from being burned down by the Republicans. And that's not a good thing.

I guess all that's to say, I agree with you.
There's one in Alexandria, I believe.

I agree that there should be more.
Haven't heard of this, thanks! I'll definitely be taking a peak at their buffer implementation. Zig was a no go for this project for me due to the lack of concurrency.
Memetic hazard.
Not the OTEL "telemetry" but sensors sending measurements from the field "telemetry". IT tech is, as usual, stealing perfectly defined engineering words and making them something else.

TimescaleDB is perfect if you also have relational data that you need to join with field data to the point that there no pros of using anything else for this use case, say you have 100000+ sensors and you need to group them by the customer site relations while aggregating per day statistics.
The EU has censorship laws that will control what you can publish.
