Yes, municipality is better than state which is better than federal government. The same viewpoint with gun laws, taxation, regulation, etc. It's easier for me to move a few miles to find like minded people than it is for me to move hundreds of miles to leave a state or thousands to leave the my country.

Personally I see states as an artifact of the 20th century. Why can't municipalities govern themselves? Why shouldn't my city be able to leave my state and join another. States made sense before the internet and communication was difficult. Now they're just a middle man without a lot of value.

If eastern towns of California don't want to be grouped together with San Francisco or Los Angeles: why should they be forced to be? Because someone in the 18th or 19th century determined it?
Along with a bunch of fixes[0] to other OSs, Apple just pushed fixes for iOS 15.8.4 and iPadOS 15.8.4, which is available on "iPhone 6s (all models), iPhone 7 (all models), iPhone SE (1st generation), iPad Air 2, iPad mini (4th generation), and iPod touch (7th generation)".

The oldest of these ( iPad Air 2 ) was released in Oct 2014, more than a decade ago. The 6s was released in Sep 2015.

These are however just fixes for actively exploited vulnerabilities, something that Apple has done before (such as iOS 12.5.6 in Aug 2022 for iPhone 5S to patch CVE-2022-32893). The corresponding CVE list for iOS 18.4 is much longer https://support.apple.com/en-us/122371 and Apple doesn't disclose how much of these vulnerabilities exist in older versions.

The fact that all these kids likely missed a year or two of school because of COVID is explanatory.
LOL that to me reads like an absolute garbage of a response. I'd unsubscribe immediately and jump ship to any of the competitors if I ever got that
I used to love Minecraft as a kid until my kid ruined it for me. This 5-year-old loves to be in Creative mode and put me in Survival mode and set up traps and rounds of enemies for me to fight my way out. Not relaxing at all anymore.
Which is so silly. I would love to watch a sport where all the athletes are on cutting edge, dangerously experimental PEDs and all the equipment is engineered to the very limits of nature. We draw oddly arbitrary lines what is and isn’t ok in sports.
If you read a child developmental psychology book you will soon notice it is not whether punishment is corporal or not that makes the difference. It is the causal connection between bad behavior and punishment that makes the difference. That is one reason why CPS is so incredibly bad for children.

A violent dad (or mom) can be a far better parent than someone who never touches their children. It is simply not what matters (except in absurdly extreme cases, things that do permanent damage)
Many of the addicts are long past the mission of "trying to feel good" but are trying to stave off horrible withdrawal symptoms. Ibogaine clinics can help a lot of people. Ibogaine clinics don't work for everybody, and won't work for those who don't want to change their lifestyle, but can help bring back something resembling an okay life for a lot of people.
The premise of this movie reminds me of one time when I was working at McDonnell Douglas in the early 1990s on a project that was a test facility for space station related stuff. There was a database and you could enter issues for various problems that testing found. As test data, I added a bunch of issues filed by a certain "Mr. W. E. Coyote", complaining about various defects in rocket powered roller skates and other such nonsense. Somebody in management found it, and I got called on the carpet and told to delete it all. Jeez. No sense of humor at all.
> I suspect that a lot of people are in the same situation, cutting corners to make ends meet and remember their early twenties as more than endless work and drudgery.

This was definitely the case for me.

However, it always left me with the idea of “then why did I study?”. To get a job, of course, but in retrospect a better path might’ve been to work and then study at a later phase in life.
Applying the laws regardless of if that person is a political candidate.
Every test task, including the coding test, is a greenfield project. Everything I would consider using LLMs for is not. Like, I would always need it to do some change or fix on a (large) existing project. Hell, even the examples that were generated would likely need subsequent alterations (ten times more effort goes into maintaining a line of code than writing it).

So these tests are meaningless to me, as a measure of how useful these models are. Great for comparison with each other, but would be interesting to include some tests with more realistic work.
Maybe.

My first thought was that this would essentially devolve to speed chess, because any player who waited longer to move than their cooldown would put themself at a disadvantage.

But I think there is a strategic property that could make the game interesting, namely the "phase shift" between the players' turns: When the cooldowns are interleaved, the game becomes turn-based speed chess. But when the cooldowns sync up, you might get something Diplomacy-like, where both players have 10 seconds to guess the other's next move, then both will move almost simultaneously.

This shift will slowly change throughout the game and can even be changed intentionally if one player waits longer with their turn than they'd have to.
Basically there's a legal standard that involves a real and immediate threat. Murthy v Missouri is a good place to start:

https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-411_3dq3.pdf

There's a ton of legal cases referenced from there. The current EOs against law firms would be an excellent example of real and immediate threat.
> I think the biggest problem in AI accuracy is expecting the AI to be better than a human.

If it's not better across at least one of {more accurate, faster, cheaper} then there is no business. You have to be offering one of the above.

And that applies both to humans and to existing tech solutions: an LLM solution must beat both in some dimension. Current flight booking interfaces are actually better than a human at all three: they're more accurate, they're free, and they're faster than trying to do the back and forth, which means the bar to clear for an agent is extremely high.
"unspecified" in the standards sense of "unspecified behavior", i.e. any chosen behavior is permissible. The compiler doesn't have to document the behavior and the behavior isn't constrained, it just isn't undefined. That's still better than where we are today.
In case you missed it, a co-founder of Honey did an AMA on this topic a few days ago.

https://old.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1jlfms8/im_ryan_hudso...

I'm not a honey user but I thought this section was interesting:

> This gets a bit technical but in the video, Jonathon carefully shows you that the ‘NV_MC_LC’ cookie changes from Linus Tech Tips -> Paypal when a user engages with Honey. What he must have seen is that there is also a ‘NV_MC_FC’ cookie that stays affiliated with Linus Tech Tips and is NOT changed to Paypal. In this case LC stands for ‘last click’ and FC for ‘first click’. In the video he seems to claim that there is no first click cookie and only a last click cookie - this claim is false.

> In my DM conversation with Jonathon he claimed that he noticed the FC cookie but didn’t think it was relevant and that he was confused by it. I wonder, as an investigative journalist, did he think to ask anyone at NewEgg or the affiliate networks to explain it to him before he threw damning accusations at an industry he didn’t understand?
We did it too, but it was huge ceremony around it. Kids shouldn’t be begging and screaming “too cold” for fresh air.
As someone who cherishes the power of root privs, I'd still like to make a point for alternative solutions that came up like distros such as GrapheneOS or CalyxOS or non-root filtering options via VPN.
If it weren't for backups I could manage my everyday life without root. For all other cases I would root and later unroot my phone via an OTA update :D
https://github.com/schnatterer/rooted-graphene/

Hopefully GrapheneOS deliver on their promise to provide a better backup solutions than seedvault.
I also thought the reason you couldn't travel with unattached spare batteries was because something could bridge the + and - and create fire from a short, not because they were lithium. Like, traveling with my little power bank wasn't an issue because it's all enclosed.
> the split between /usr/local/etc and /etc constantly leaves you guessing where to find a particular config file

I started with FreeBSD and it never was a problem to me until I started to use Linux too. Now I just make symlinks from /usr/local/etc to /etc for software I use both on Linux and FreeBSD. The rule is simple - if an app is from the base system it is in /etc and if you installed some software from packages (ports) then configs will be in /usr/local/etc.
Experience, both as a child and a parent.

Also, I have actually seen care homes from the inside. You will not find violent children there, despite the fact that they should obviously be the main group. You will also not find real problem children, because they get removed when they commit a crime or self-harm. Not because they don't need help (obviously). To protect the place from liability and costs. Obviously eventually kids DO, out of desperation, commit crimes or self-harm. Because behaving will guarantee that you stay there, destroying the place or the people and, suddenly, "you're OK now".
You seem very certain that you know how my mouth works. I promise you, you don’t.

I’m a super taster. I did a test when I was 20. You take a macro photo of your tongue and count the taste buds in a 1cm square spot. From what I read at the time, the average person has 25 taste buds per sq cm. I have 40. Some people have as few as 10. Imagine how different food must taste to all of us!

And flavours don’t just “scale up”. Some flavours are way too strong for me - like, spinach is super strong. If spinach is on pizza, all I taste is spinach. I can’t taste anything else and I may as well be eating a salad. I can’t eat dark chocolate - it tastes like a punch in the mouth with wood ash. And I’ve never been able to drink coffee.

One of my all time favorite meals is plain pasta with butter and grated Parmesan. So simple. So yummy. But pre shredded cheese doesn’t melt the same way on pasta - and the difference is obvious to my mouth. Shredded Parmesan cheese has a much weaker cheese taste - even from the same brand. And the texture is all wrong.

Maybe your mouth can’t tell the difference. But don’t claim to know how my mouth works. I suspect if we could trade mouths for the day, we’d both be shocked.
The difference is that Firefox didn't do it as an excuse to sneak in a new tracking system instead.
Or snapchat repeatedly asking for my contacts access knowing it’s denied.
IMHO, absolutely, if that's the reason.
I have the first Palma and like it. I _do not_ trust the OS. It's really not clear to me what is actually upgraded in the 2: it has the same specs, screen, buttons (and presumably frame). The CPU on the 1 is _slow_ but not so slow that it's unusable.
Yeah, I agree that bias is an important factor here for general day-to-day usage issues. But even beyond subjective bias, there are things that are _literally impossible_ to do on an OS without manually porting some tool from its original OS to the new one. And generally, if a tool is only designed for one OS, it's windows for gaming-related tools and linux for coding-related tools.
I consider Copilot a flop because it can't do anything. For example open Copilot on Windows and ask it to increase volume. It can't do it, but it will give you instructions for how to do it. In other words it is no better than standalone AI chat websites.
Thicker walked ceramic mugs are definitely common in the UK, and probably more common now than anything else, but me and my gran both agree that a proper cup of tea needs serving in a thin-walled, fine-china cup, like this: https://fegghayespottery.co.uk/product/plain-270ml-bone-chin...
They said total monthly visitors, not unique. I probably open it 15 times a month.
My 7 year old's favourite activity in Minecraft is to blow stuff up. I don't know whether to be concerned or not, but at least we've convinced him that it's really not cool to blow other people's stuff up.

Like you say, not very relaxing.
Telling them why they can smell smoke and not to worry about it will make them panic less.
Everyone wants a competitive system where only the best and most qualified advance and everyone imagines themselves among the best and most qualified deserving of advancement. For the majority of us, in an actual competitive system, that belief will run up against the rocks of reality to some extent. You might be great at something but no one is great at everything except that one obnoxious guy you went to high school with. No one likes to find out that they suck, and the way our system is designed right now where students pick their colleges sets up a sort of "fix the grade or we'll take our money elsewhere" leverage students and parents can use against the institution. With the increasing necessity of a college degree in everyone's quest to eat food and sleep indoors, that pressure is only escalating. Junior being not the brightest knife in the crayon box is a tale as old as human society, but until recently Junior used to be able to limp across the finish line in high school and get a job in a factory and have a life. Not the best life, but a life. Nowadays a job where you can comfortably raise a family without a college degree are dwindling. That means that Junior's ability to make a living is gonna depend on getting a degree, and if Junior can't get a degree through competence he will try other ways to get a degree before he'll resign himself to starvation and indigence.

If you're about to type the word "trade school" that's an entirely different debate that I'd love to have with you but trade school, while potentially viable for a single person to fix their own situation, is not the answer to the overall problem at a societal level. We need to either return to a situation where the additional post-secondary training and education aren't required or we need to figure out a way to get people the additional post-secondary training and education.
Me either, but a relative who worked in processed foods told me the reason it exists isn't just lazy consumers, it's made from the oddly-shaped (by supermarket standards) offcuts that they can't sell otherwise.
>> What’s the point of a one-to-one GTK3 → GTK4 rewrite when the user experience doesn’t improve at all?

I'd like to use the same UI on all platforms so that we can do some things better (like localization in the text window and resizable text) and my preference for that is GTK. I tried doing it myself, got frustrated, and stopped because there are more important things to work on.
I believe there were some rumors that it was happenning, but not too public.

I think I remember seeing a blogpost about Honey extension being a very bad idea from security perspective way before the public outcry and it might had mentioned the attribution(right term?) too.
a lot of european nations are also discussing on how to create more inhouse and become digitally sovereign from US tech firms. (the dutch government for instance[0])

5 or even 10 years ago this would have been unthinkable in dutch politics, even if this has been called out a lot as a risk in tech circles.

I consult in higher ed and I feel like some of what is said is true while many other parts are not. First let me say that my impression is that current college students do tend to have shorter attention spans and a weak grasp on plagiarism.

I was going to write a long response comparing the actual reading levels of Poisonwood and Harry Potter, the potential mismatch in subject interest that teens might have when tasked to read "social commentary" books or even the absurd notion of using Dostoevsky’s Notes from the Underground to talk about Communism when likely everyone would have enjoyed Animal Farm but I'll just addressing this final lament from the author.

We’re told to meet the students where they are, flip the classroom, use multimedia, just be more entertaining, get better. As if rearranging the deck chairs just the right way will stop the Titanic from going down. As if it is somehow the fault of the faculty. It’s not our fault. We’re doing the best we can with what we’ve been given.

This perfectly highlights both the deflection as well and the fundamental lack of understanding. If you offer a crappy product, don't be surprised when people either don't purchase it or in the cases where they are forced to purchase it don't engage. Of course it is the fault of the faculty and no, you're not doing the best you can with what you have been given. You are doing what you want to do, in the way you have always wanted to do it and you are lamenting that your current customers are no longer interested in what you are selling. That is not meeting you customer where they are.

Imagine if this was a car company who stuck to the idea that station wagons were what we always produced and if the current generation of car buyers want a sedan or an ebike well then they are just wrong.

What's "anticompetitive" here? If the description provided in my previous comment is correct, it seems to be more of a failure on the part of the regulators than anything else.

The EU (through GDPR) also wants some sort of affirmative consent for tracking. That's fair, and results in one prompt. However, iOS obviously can't accept a "trust me bro" from the app itself that it's okay to enable cross-app tracking, so you need a second prompt. The obvious solution would be to combine the two, by allowing the ATT prompt to be used as consent for the purposes of GDPR. Why didn't French regulators go with this solution and decide to fine Apple instead?

Well, yes there is: I don't have carte blanche to do whatever I want with your data because you tapped an Apple dialog: I have to obtain your consent first.
Drug dealing basically works like a MLM the edges of the tree are easy to find and arrest but they are mostly easily replaceable young kids that putting them away does little to the overall flow.
I'd like to add one more finding about the perils of root access:
https://github.com/chenxiaolong/my-avbroot-setup/blob/c52e44...

> The term [rooting] generally also includes the functionality for making runtime code patches (eg. with Zygisk) and making runtime filesystem modifications (eg. Magisk modules).

> Out of the many root-enabled apps I've studied or reverse engineered, the vast majority fail to handle arbitrary inputs properly (especially filenames). For example, some root-supporting file managers turn a seemingly benign action like listing a directory into local privilege escalation. This is trivially exploitable, especially with browsers auto-downloading files with server-provided filenames to /sdcard/Download/.

To avoid repeated root access UI prompts, some apps spawn a long-running shell session, write commands to stdin, and rely on parsing stdout and searching for the shell prompt to determine when commands complete. This approach is prone to desync, which can lead to commands being skipped or other inputs being interpreted as commands.

All in all, I simply do not trust most root-enabled apps to not leave a gaping security hole, so I avoid them entirely. There are apps that do handle root access in what I would consider a more proper way, by spawning a daemon as root and then talking to the daemon over a well defined binary protocol. Unfortunately, this approach is the extreme minority.
If "basket of deplorables" was a one-off, I might agree with you. But "clinging to guns and religion". There was another such comment this cycle, too, though I don't remember it. There has been a thread of contempt for the working class from Obama through Harris, and it keeps coming out of peoples' mouths.

If you claim to represent the working class, and your positions don't resonate with the working class, then you probably aren't representing them very well. If you claim to represent them but you hold most of them in contempt, then you almost certainly aren't going to represent them well.

You say they're all Republicans? Find out why. Find out why the Republicans are able to talk to those people - who are supposed to be your people - better than you can. Then figure out how to talk to them better than the Republicans can (hopefully with more truth and less nonsense).

I'm not asking you to let go of your principles. I'm asking you to live them. Your principles include caring about the working class, the lower class. Go live that out. Go be who you claim to be, who you've always supposed to have been.

If you think that's condescension, then I don't know what to tell you.
