After the conflict of interest is resolved, what next? The capabilities are still lost. He has still gained wealth from malfeasance. What's the next step? Pay him more money to fill the gaps created by corruption?

No, the answer is to ensure any profit from corruption is reclaimed. The idea of "just let the corrupt keep what they stole" has led us right here to this moment.

EDIT:

I do want to be clear on what my concern is here, too - I don't have a problem with commercial space flight. I wouldn't have a problem with NASA using commercial vendors for a major of their missions. I would have mild concern but not a great deal if NASA dropped most of their launch capabilities, retaining only ones needed for specialized missions and unique orbits. But I wouldn't oppose it like this.

But I have a major issue with that process being run by the one person most likely to directly profit from it. That completely destroys all faith that the process is being done in a responsible way that will put the well-being our nation above the wealth of a single individual.
Most launchers I see aren't necessary for any technical reason. Most don't even bother to enable any functionality at all to the end user's benefit. They're instead used to exert some form of control in a way that's usually palatable enough to not cause a huge PR backlash. As a default stance, being anti-launcher as an end user seems reasonable.
Oh, I see, thanks.

> I wouldn't be surprised if Apple TV ends up acquiring a prestige production house at some point

I agree, AND I’m similarly asking why I agree myself: there were always persistent rumors under Steve that Apple would one day acquire Disney, they were always fun to think about in a “what if” way, _and_ it seems hilariously impractical in retrospect.

You can also move Mac OS X out of the way by running an ARM Linux VM on the Apple ARM computers.
A minor UX difference doesn't really feel like a great case for reducing user privacy, it makes me a little concerned about priorities... which I already was, really.
If there was a policy passed down to the thousands of homeland security officers at airports to screen phones for critical comments about Trump, is it plausible that not one person would leak that to the press? It sounds absurd.

We get ~200,000 foreign visitors flying into US airports a day. That we have a handful of people over months who had issues seems more like the normal rate, and evidence there is no weird screening policy, which would probably affect thousands, not dozens.
These days, if you're just wiring to a single workstation in a nearby next room, 50 meter active optical Thunderbolt 3/4 cables can carry 5K+ DisplayPort video passthrough and data from your USB peripherals.

(It's "passthrough" and not "uncompressed" because DisplayPort may use DSC depending on the resolution and frame rate.)

US$500 for an optical cable can be a lot cheaper than paying for HDMI extender sender and receiver boxes.
LOL, no. The SpaceX team lead by Gwynne Shotwell has a chance though.
> These days there is no reason to use Windows at home. Just move to a distro like Mint or Ubuntu. It will save you money and help stop filling up Landfills.

Old Intel based computers are terrible for power usage. Modern computers that are ARM based are much better for the environment.
The other important fact is that there are multiple entities keeping an ever-growing dossier on you which you cannot see, delete, or correct.

Every step you take, every word you write, every picture or video you look at, every single thing you pay for, every place you go, every person you call/message, or are physically near to. And the times when you left your phone behind. For everyone, combined, analyzed, searchable, with machine-learning-everything thrown at it to find and predict patterns and of course to stalk exes, political activists, anybody.

Imagine what the Stasi police could do with all of this and know that your current administration is doing it.

It’s a bit depressing even if put to the music of I’m Watching You by hmmm… the Police.
That's fair - plenty of checks and balances are gone, even the ones that relied mostly on decorum and shame. My expectations were already quite low but I've been surprised just how openly and directly the fundamental rights are being attacked and equally surprised by how many people are happily cheering as it happens.

I like the perspective that we are more than mere consumers. I think that's a valid thing to be clear about although consumer protection as a concept doesn't feel belittling to me as a human (nor would I want it to extend to my entire life anyway).

Unlikely, since the use of a local TCP part was later than the quoted sentence. Granted, I did skim, but after having it clarified and rereading, I think that introduction is misleadingly phrased and would benefit from clearer delineation of the previous vulnerable behavior and the fixed behavior.
this is nothing new. if you copy and pasted code from stackoverflow 5 years ago with no understanding how it works, it would have lead to the same issues. fully understanding what the AI did, and ask questions if you don't understand.
He is missing the point. Flatpak/Snap are not just an alternative way to ship binaries. They are way to isolate applications and what they can do. Landscape has moved from protecting the system or an user from another to protect the same user applications and their data from each other, specially for desktop environments. That is not even in the map for Windows, its security model and its applications. It is a big jump backwards.
All private companies do that. Ever heard of Virgin? It's Branson's MO. Create a company with a high public profile that's private. Hype it up and sell it based on the value of it's perception. Watch it go out of business years later or be sold to someone else buying it for the name/market share to pad their own numbers for their own reports. At the very least it ends up being good for a a tax write off by the new owner. This is how business works.
This might be the first semi-plausible consumer use case for smart cards as a second factor. One could, reasonably, conceal a smart card as a health insurance (EHIC) or debit card and pass otherwise adversarial border controls with them.

No[1], but you can launch a windows executable natively, link against DLLs in a compatible way, thunk between 32 and 64 bit as needed, access the Linux filesystem, network and IPC environment using native APIs, integrate with things like .NET and msvc runtimes, access native-speed DirectX emulation, etc...

While you're right, I think parent/OP's discussion is on how composable a language is with low semantic knowledge of the components, just going with the grammatical rules.

For instance in English you'll need to know if a subject is a third person singular or not to adjust the verb. Or even just singular vs plural for the adjectives and pronouns. And you'll need the gender in gendered languages (French, Italian etc)

In general, Japanese doesn't require that kind of care: the verb doesn't change, adjectives don't either, most of the words are unaffected if you swap semantically different parts.
packages on f-droid list all required permissions explicitly, and the mentioned permission seems to be listed as "query all packages: Allows an app to see all installed packages.". It doesn't mark the app as having "anti-features", but you can at least make a more informed decision this way.
Nah, but that issue's to do with rust-analyzer looking for a Cargo file. Some people have apparently got around it by making a file.

You're right that it would be great with full LSP support, but for quick scripting, I mostly just want a linter.
I find reports on how others are using LLMs to code interesting to read.

I've personally found LLMs to have recently crossed the "uncanny valley" of programming for me, meaning that I'm much much more productive than without them.

I find that if you're really good at describing a problem and the constraints you want to solve, using a language it knows well (like Go) and following well known patterns in that language, you can describe thousands of lines of code and get accurate results.

Maybe this isn't vibe coding speicfically, but I actually review every line of code that the LLM puts out. It doesn't take long if you know what you're reading, and the LLM make a weird solution to the problem. Usually if I'm specific about how I want it solved, it does it well.

I also found it useful to say "Please tell me your plan to implement the solutions and ask me about any ambiguities that need clarification." In other words, don't make your own assumptions.

The results are incredible. Thousands of lines of code that maybe not stylistically like mine, but are structurally very accurate to what I'm looking for. Giving function/interface signatures and code examples works wonders.

*The NTP monograph concluded, with moderate confidence, that higher levels of fluoride exposure, such as drinking water containing more than 1.5 milligrams of fluoride per liter, are associated with lower IQ in children. The NTP review was designed to evaluate total fluoride exposure from all sources and was not designed to evaluate the health effects of fluoridated drinking water alone. It is important to note that there were insufficient data to determine if the low fluoride level of 0.7 mg/L currently recommended for U.S. community water supplies has a negative effect on children’s IQ.*

You stepped into my conversation with someone else. The statement I called out was:

Very interesting! I posted a vector and quaternion lib here a few weeks ago, and got great feedback on the state of SIMD on these things. I since have went on a deep dive, and implemented wrapper types in a similar way to this library. Used macros to keep repetition down. Split into three main sections:

- Floating point primitives. Like this lib. Basically, copied `core::simd`'s API. Will delete this part once core::simd is stable. `f32x8`, `f64x4` types etc, with standard operator overloads, and utility methods like `splat`, `to_array` etc.

- Vec and Quaternion analogs. Same idea, similar API. Vec3x8, Quaternionx8 etc.

- Code to convert slices of floating point values, or non-SIMD vectors and quaternions to SIMD ones, including (partial) handling of accessing valid lanes in the last chunk.

I've incorporated these `x8` types into a WIP molecular dynamics application; relatively painless after setting up the infra. Would love to try `Vec3x16` etc, but 512-bit types aren't stable yet. But from Github activity on Rust, it sounds like this is right around the corner!

Of note, as others pointed out in the thread here I mentioned, the other vector etc libs are using the AoS approach, where a single f32x4 value etc is used to represent a Vec3 etc. While with this SoA approach, a `Vec3x8` is for performing operations on 8 Vec3s at once.

The article had interesting and surprising points on AVX-512 (Needed for f32x16, Vec3x16 etc). Not sure of the implications of exposing this in a public library is, i.e. might be a trap if the user isn't on one of the AMD Zen CPUs mentioned.

From a few examples, I seem to get 2-4x speedup from using the x8 intrinsics, over scalar (non-SIMD) operations.
