Yet RH publicly threatened to close your account/subscriptions when you DO exercise the rights of FOSS binaries if you download and redistribute the sources. This is different than giving 3rd parties access to the mentioned SERVICE [that would be equivalent to sharing your user name and passwords]. CIQ on the other hand actively distributes the sources of Rocky via the OpenELA and other githubs [Warewulf etc.]. Needless to say, but the GPL is about your rights downstream and not 'look we have upstream policies first [in Stream] but if you do redistribute sources of GPL stuff, your account is gone!'. No comparison in my book. Finally, logically, if you still find otherwise, then if CIQ is wrong then also RH is wrong and then also put the onus on BOTH.
The elbow method has a simple theoretical justification. If the data actually has k well-separated clusters, the gains from splitting halves of clusters should be dramatically less than from splitting distinct clusters. If that isn't true, the data doesn't have well-separated clusters anyway.
HM17 as well, there's a reason you can't legally use it to hunt, in some states. (If you miss, it just keeps going for miles. Even if you don't miss, it can still just keep going for a mile.)
What I wrote is absolutely correct.

After more than 20 years of renewables build out, Germany still has 10 times the CO₂ emissions of France. And France achieved that in 15 years, 40 years ago. Again, we've been at it well over 20 years and have barely moved the needle.

When using `dd` I always verbally say "`if` is input file, because I want to take data from <whatever I wrote there> and `of` is output file, because I want that data to overwrite <whatever I wrote here>". Never have I ever had a `dd` incident, but that's such a fear I have that I developed this habit.
This idea is extremely old, but also has a very bad record of being wrong for hundreds of years:

It’s worth knowing if you’re proposing an idea that’s been continuously proposed, and has been continuously proven wrong by time and history, that you might want to consider if there are other drivers that continually oppose your thesis. I think technology is sufficiently powerful we’ll be able to power our needs for another hundred years at a minimum if we try.

That's hardly jira's fault.

It's great piece of software. But every instance I've seen had overcomplicated setup enforced by random initiatives in the organization, while making further reasonable fixes hard by how has privileges and "we're not sure what this will break at this point".

Plus having actual admin of that stack is some magical creature that companies are afraid of.

We hate Jira but we should rather demand fixes from people enforcing how it's managed in our org.
Yeah, Claude helped me decide what to get my girlfriend for her birthday a few weeks ago. It suggested some great gift ideas I hadn’t thought of - and my girlfriend loved them.
There are plenty of Nix users who are skeptical of such claims (e.g. me included).

I generally believe that NixOS is less secure than some other systems. No secure boot by default, no SELinux, too few maintainers for a huge package set, and relatively easy to gain commit access.

But it does have a lot of other benefits.

The case of the critical section that let multiple threads enter a block of code
> The white hats will then steal back any stolen funds, and go before a prize court that will determine if their actions were legal, if the target was valid, and how prizes should be distributed between victims and the privateers.

So the targets are determined by the state, and the costs of retaliating are assumed by the private sector; that sounds better than what I was originally envisioning. The government is effectively operating a bounty office, with the chief difference being that the bounty is paid out only after the successful recovery of the funds.

It’s an interesting idea.

For most OSes the amount of code that actually deals in processor minutiae is really quite small. Portable logic makes up the majority. Maybe an exception can be drawn for some very particular OSes like DOS or Windows 9x.

So you read a tutorial and it spends about 90% of its time talking about an area that really isn't that interesting compared to other areas. I just don't think that's very compelling at all.

I say this having my own hobby OS which I've ported to four architectures (m68k, amd64, aarch64, riscv). At the moment I'm working on a TCP/IP stack which has been really enjoyable and I've learnt a great deal in doing this already. Other fun areas have been virtual memory and page replacement, designing asychronous I/O facilities, and IPC mechanisms, as well as appropriate synchronisation for each (synchronisation alone is a very deep topic, and there's considerable scope for innovation with techniques like safe memory reclamation.) Others may differ, but in these I find a lot more of interest than x86 minutiae.
In fairness the "common man", if they are anything, is unable to think more than about a month or two ahead on a good day. So while anyone with an unusual ability to plan long term could, did and does see problems on the horizon the common man certainly couldn't have picked it.

The original story here was published on December 11th 2022, just 12 days after the launch of ChatGPT (running on GPT-3.5).

I feel most of this document (the bit that evaluates examples of ChatGPT output) is more of historic interest than a useful critique of the state of LLMs in 2025.
The use of hydroxyapatite toothpaste to prevent dental caries (2021)
In the age of local LLMs I’d like to see a personal recommendation system that doesn’t care about being scalable and efficient. Why can’t I write a prompt that describes exactly what I’m looking for in detail and then let my GPU run for a week until it finds something that matches?
Unitree did pre-install a tunnel without notifying its customers. Anybody with access to the API key can freely access all robot dogs on the tunnel network, remotely control them, use the vision cameras to see through their eyes or even hop on the RPI via ssh.
The user.max_user_namespaces sysctl itself is namespace aware and is used by bubblewrap's --disable-userns option.

But a prctl like NO_NEW_PRIVS would be better, since it could avoid an intermediary namespace that is needed for the namespace-aware sysctl.
I haven't seen any affect of AI at the higher end of freelancing -- the polar opposite of Upwork et al. I do see demand for freelancers with skill/experience developing LLMs, and integrating them into business systems.

If someone wants a logo or a brochure-ware site they can probably put that together with LLM assistance today. If they want to do e-commerce or offer an actual service to paying users maybe they can stumble through prompting an LLM to get something to work. When they get hit with a PCI compliance audit, a hacked server, a huge hosting bill, a corrupt database, they can call me because Copilot and Claude probably won't help them, even if they understood the underlying problem in the first place.

I broadly agree that for people who think Upwork represents the freelancing market, they will have even more trouble competing with LLMs than they did with $4/day programmers in Bangladesh and Indonesia. Some people will leave the business, some will complain about it online until they learn the universe doesn't care about fairness, and a few will upgrade to skills they can apply and sell. As of today the so-called AIs can't do much that a serious business will trust. That might change but I think humans still have a long runway to stay ahead of them.

When spreadsheets came out early in my career we got lots of talk about how that technology would make entire occupations obsolete -- almost as much as we get today about AI. What actually happened: people who learned how make Excel jump through hoops and add business value became almost layoff-proof, and even today knowing how to work with Excel describes a very valuable job skill.

I have survived in the software business for almost five decades, seen the no-code/low-code apocalypse touted multiple times, from way back when "managers" would supposedly use COBOL and SQL to write their own code and query databases. Never happened, not because the tools don't work and add a lot of value, but because very few people can translate vague requirements into something resembling a spec, or a series of prompts, and then also evaluate the result. AI just creates opportunities for people like me, I can mop up the messes until I retire.

Göbeklitepe was built 5000 years before Stonehenge so I think it is very relevant. It is absurd to suggest that we know for certain what is there without even looking.
Super interesting. Wonder if birds and butterflies are getting some free power this way when they migrate?

Wasn't Hollow Knight put together with a really tiny team?
I specialise in video (ffmpeg and webrtc, in essence - on the level of "build me a demuxer for format ffmpeg does not yet support" or "build me a from-scratch C++ implementation of webrtc endpoint tailored for a particular narrow use case").

This involves a lot of "C-family languages", reading and understanding RFCs, and other "hard" skills that are not passing fads at all.

And i can tell that the market has become terrible, and it is the same for some colleagues of mine with less narrow specialisation. I stopped looking for contracts: it just can't work now, i need to wait.

As for lack of business domain expertise, well that's spot on. I barely seen/participated in any actual working businesses in my life, probably because i never held a full time job in my 25 years of career, and i'm in Europe where it probably doesn't make sense doing anything (or at least i haven't seen anyone succeeding), so i'm stuck being an "offshore outsourcer" for Americans.
It’s always baffling how people take a technology that wasn’t even thought as feasible a decade ago and try to dismiss it as trivial and stagnant. It’s pretty clear that LLMs have improved rapidly and have successfully become better writers than the majority of people alive. To try and present this as just random pattern matching seems as just a way to assuage fears of being replaced.

It’s also amusing that people minimize it by just calling it pattern matching, as if human reasoning isn’t built upon recognizing patterns in past experiences.
Had to listen to see if Dirac had a Bristolian accent, but unfortunately not.
Let’s be clear about what I’m calling out. I prefer to keep technical discussions technical. Let’s talk about technical merits like performance, security, maintainability, ease of learning. All of these are valid parameters to judge a technology.

“I don’t like the way some people speak” is not a technical reason and has no place in a technical discussion. It’s especially meaningless because no one can possibly like the way every person in a group of millions speaks.

A person who eschews technical discussion in favour of tone policing is not a person whom I take seriously. If you want to hang out with and learn from such people I wish you luck. Your age doesn’t matter. A 20 year old can have their thinking ossified just as much as a 60 year old.

Yeah, COD sells a lot. Not that the sales it gets is testament of quality.

FIFA (or whatever it is called nowadays) also sells plenty every year generating incredible revenue to EA, and every year is a poor quality game.

Not true.
The headline is wrong.

Big tech is striking deals for electricity to get electricity.

The entities they're dealing with are accepting deals by which the public will subsidize big tech's electricity.

That big tech is negotiating the way it is, is expected.

That such deals should be available to them is probably not.

I'll look into that. The compose key defined in Linux Mint's own keyboard settings doesn't work in Firefox.
You raise many good points. One of the primary reasons I don't use nix or guix for everything is because it seems like there's too much magic and it's often too difficult for me to figure out how to modify a detail if a toggle wasn't explicitly provided for it. Even just getting insight into the chain of events to debug things was incredibly obtuse the last time I played with nix. Like cmake on steroids. At least cmake will spit out a multi-megabyte trace file for me to pick through. (I'm convinced cmake is an elaborate conspiracy to waste developer time.)

> let's make it easy for users to break programs out of the sandbox when it suits them?

At least for Flatpak given the things you described this is quite straightforward via bind mounts. Although it did seem a bit goofy having an entire list of per-application bind mounts in my fstab. Maybe things have improved since I last tried going that route?

> "idiomatic" ... doesn't use a file dialog,

That's an Inkscape (plugin?) bug plain and simple. GUI apps should be using the appropriate xdg portals for all supported operations at this point. The only excuse (IMHO) is for missing or broken functionality.

It would be like a system tray widget not working and blaming the DE instead of the program that fails to implement the decently old and widely adopted standard.

> Matrix ... you can't share any files with anyone

Which client is this? Anyway the xdg portal should work. Did the dev try it? Programs should never need blanket access to save or open specific user supplied paths as a one off. That's a large part of the point of sandboxing stuff in the first place.
A slightly improved version of any OS would've automatically caught it.
The compose key defined in Linux Mint's own keyboard settings doesn't work in Firefox.
You can't interrogate your qualia. A lot of people think (or really, feel) that makes them magic.

It doesn't.

But if you feel they're magic, you'll never believe that a "random" mechanical process, which you think you can interrogate, could ever really have that spark.

Echoing the sentiments and information here. In California, there's Sudden Oak Death which is killing several native oak species. However, the tree which is most impacted by SOD seems to be the Tanoak, which is not a true oak, but which is a beautiful tree and is crucial to several ecosystems. Several species of fungi are associated with Tanoak, for example. Very sad.
Yes. A terrarium is a far better example, than a petridish.
I work for US companies (don't live there anymore though). I don't know anything about your specialty so I can't comment on it or the apparently evaporated market for your skills.

I specialize in small/medium-size businesses. My background centers around enterprise logistics, accounting, relational databases, and system administration. Almost every company needs one or more of those things. I see more compliance-related work now -- companies forced by changing laws and regulations, or international expansion, to improve infrastructure and processes. I see lots of cloud infrastructure work, that niche always seems to have a lot more demand than supply.

In previous downturns (2000 and 2008/9) I fell back on logistics, because no matter how bad the economy and job market gets businesses still need to keep their supply chain moving and get products to customers. That work involves some of the least sexy tech imaginable: Oracle or DB/2, COBOL, BASIC, stuff like that. Every company with even moderate logistics needs uses a lot of software, that industry got "computerized" back in the '60s and '70s.

I do web app development now, have done that since the late '90s, but still keep on top of cloud infrastructure, networking, security, and my soft spot for logistics.

Good luck to you waiting out the downturn.

As I worked adjacent to people who ran thousands of jobs in ActiveBatch - that software indeed was very simple to use and its GUI might have been awesome - but it's been double edged sword where if you have hundreds of people working on it - it becomes maintenance nightmare and promoting changes between environments was non-existent, causing multiple incidents.

Mind you, it might have been just culture at that place, but I don't think this is as good of an example as you make it be. Sure, it was easy to get started and made the life easier at the beginning, but running it at scale was not in any way easy.
