> Leading to notifications being ignored, and not mattering at all.

You found my point! Some notifications may be important, but if one has learned to ignore all notifications, then they won't catch the important ones anymore.

When I get important notifications, I can act on them immediately, because I have not learned to ignore all my notifications, because I don't need to. I have taken care to block any notifications I don't care about, leaving only the ones that I do.

> A well curated set of notifications that only gives you the things you actually need is superb, but incredibly difficult to get right.

Ehh... maybe it's incredibly difficult to fix once you are already drowning in them, but since I immediately nuke anything I don't like from orbit, and have done so my whole life, there are a lot fewer things I don't like than if I hadn't to do that.

> Learning how to ignore all of the noise is probably a more valuable skill for a future where control is slowly wrestled away from the user. A certain Black Mirror episode (Fifteen Million Merits) comes to mind.

I have a really hard time ignoring noise. I think that is because of my autism. Ignoring noise would be a nice skill, I guess, but I feel significantly better when the noise is simply not there in the first place. I'd imagine most would, but for some reason I seem to break a lot more easily when uncomfortable.
I mean it’s a bit rough to say and generalize but as someone in college atm it does feel like a good percentage of the students could fit in (some of) the boxes the author thought of.

Now along with some people skipping college altogether and other students maybe not wanting to speak up in class for whatever reason professors may feel totally alone.

I have to say this does go both ways, of course as student I am inherently biased but there are professors that are not totally present in their lessons, don’t know their material, etc. Now I haven’t been a student for decades do this may not have changed at all or is just a tangential part of my comment.

Also if I had to ‘guess’ the reason students are going backwards, it’s phones, it’s social media, it’s a lack of third places, it’s the quick and fast content on social media. That’s also the reason reading has been on a rather downwards trend.

And all our ‘creature comforts’ / being lazy also ‘rots’ your brain. As in IF you start using AI tools for coding it starts being so integral you can barely do without, same for AI for reading and even like how using a calculator makes you worse at quick head math.
Morocco might also not be very happy with this. Generally, your ideal site for equatorial launches has ~nothing to the east, for a long way. There's a reason that ESA uses the (on the face of it ridiculously inconvenient) French Guiana facility.

Wordfence is pretty cool. Heard about it and your security research for years before I ever used the plugin, then started using it with a client in the past couple years. My time with it is ending shortly (see my comment elsewhere on this thread[0]), but it's been great. Thanks!

I share your nostalgia. I did learn a lot by exploring Amiga OS and later Windows 98 without anyone to help or an internet connection. It was fun, but we had time to spend back then. Today time feels much more scarce and I no longer appreciate if I have to learn by trial and error. Now it feels like you have to keep up with the tech progress, which is crazy fast. And youth has too many things to do that are more appealing, like social media, youtubes, loads of games etc. For them the exploration of OS or some software is not attractive anymore.

Sigh. I have been kicking this horse forever as well: an "optimization" implies just a performance improvement.

Tail call elimination, if it exists in a language, allows coding certain (even infinite) loops as recursion - making loop data flow explicit, easier to analyze, and at least in theory, easier to vectorize/parallelize, etc

But if a language/runtime doesn't do tail call elimination, then you CAN'T code up loops as recursion, as you would be destroying you stack. So the WAY you code, structure it, must be different.

Its NOT an optimization.

I have no idea who even came up with that expression.

I think Popper would be quite sad with how people abuse his intend with stating it.

Without a lot of context from Popper this principle isn't even a very good one and Popper certainly would agree here.

It just displays that you didn't put time into it thinking it through, especially if you just distribute links.

This is probably not as much gains as not having to care about the C++ standard and only focus on C++ as interpreted by Clang.
Thank you. I had not heard of it before.

Has it been validated? I cannot find citations which test and verify the applicability of that idea.

I ask because there's a long history (left-brain/right-brain, 10,000 hours of deliberate practice, learning style theory, power pose, etc) where intriguing ideas which makes some intuitive sense end up being not so clear cut.
I really liked both stability and that subtle change from dark grey GUI colour to gray with a really subtle yellow hint that made it more pleasant to my eyes. So was the default blue background colour instead of teal green more appealing.

> I think I should find an old retro PC and install W2000 on it, just for fun.

I made a W2000 install in VirtualBox with most of the old software I was using back then - of course without network connection outside. IMO that's much easier than dusting out old machine and wondering if it'll work at all after so many years but ofc there are people who dig that - I admire their dedication

US school buses are huge, and the limiting factor is drivers, not capital costs.

The drivers end up only having a relatively short break (compared to the length of the school day) because of repositioning, etc. they also sometimes do field trips.
We’re building AI PSY HELP – an AI-powered mental health assistant offering 24/7 anonymous support via voice and text, without appointments or waiting. It’s used by 100,000+ people in Ukraine, including veterans, teens, and first responders.

The AI is trained on 40,000+ hours of real psychotherapy sessions and provides individualized emotional guidance to help users manage stress, anxiety, and trauma. We partner with public institutions to deliver large-scale support and just launched a B2B program for employers.

Now preparing for EU expansion (starting with Germany), mobile app rollout, and voice interaction in Ukrainian. This is not just a chatbot – it’s scalable mental health infrastructure.

I don't understand what that link is supposed to prove. A single F-117A getting shot down in Yugoslavia due to complacency and chance doesn't negate Nighthawks bombing SAM defended areas with impunity. Iraq had a strong and integrated AD network for the time.

Air superiority alone doesn't, but it's a massive force multiplier.
It's a Fachhochschule. And yeah that lecture was very unusual it felt like the insane rablings of a techno evangelist who jumped on every hype train in the last 20 years. He said the most important technologies are IoT, Blockchain and AI

Those two things are related. Linear algebra is a fantastic field in mathematics!

Mathematical reasoning is a superpower. Most of what is worth learning is some specific case of more general reasoning and at the root of general reasoning lies mathematics.

There's no substitute for domain expertise, of course. But being good at generalized reasoning really helps absorb and question domain knowledge (not only in the sense of challenging but also querying), which helps interact productively with specialized domain experts.

He looks like the type to work in software (or at least some kind of white collar work) and live in the Bay Area - you wouldn’t really think of him as an oil rig worker, farmer or politician as your first thought.

Maybe it could be moved in that direction by the wording of the system prompt. Tell it that it can call functions through the function calling API, output JSON, write code etc and it makes it think of itself as a programmer.

I am building DollarDeploy [1] - platform to deploy apps to your own server. Think of it as a Vercel but without serverless or public cloud confusing pricing - DollarDeploy + VPS of your choice. DD supports NextJS, React, Python, Docker Compose apps. NextJS and React runs without docker and deploy super fast - around 1min from GitHub push to live with HTPPS, Postgres and Redis db alongside.

Currently in progress of implementing DevOps AI which will configure properly your deployment based on the source code.

You realize genocide has nothing to do with graphs? It has to do with the leaders of the army accused saying they want to use starvation of the civilians of their own country as a tool of war among various other things. Since Israel does not recognize any Palestinian nation, and is the de facto occupier of the land the Palestinians live on, they are effectively civilians in the Israeli state

The ACLU did change course noticeably and there is ample criticism for that and this resulted in their diminished influence of today. There was even bipartisan consent on that, especially regarding the first amendment.

For example if you search for the "ACLU lost its way", you will find a lot about their behavior. I think the opinion pieces are often well argued.

The communists used quotas for rounding up anti-revolutionaries and other undesirables. Which often ended up with just grabbing random people off the street.
No, that's not what I said. But that doesn't mean that people would actively vote for the previous administration. They just won't vote at all.

And I'm not sure what you mean by doubling down. Biden was basically letting Israel do whatever it wanted to do. Absolutely did nothing for more than a year of bloodshed. Doing anything (like direct discussions with Hamas, bypassing israel) is better than just doing nothing. Even if Trump is a drooling, die hard supporter of Israel.

Like if Trump did what Biden let Israel do, I don't think the Muslim population would've been surprised. But even the reddest/war hawks of presidents(Reagan, Bush) never let Israel just have a complete carte blanche. Yet Biden, a supposed ally of the community, did.
I didn't downvote the comment, but I would have done so. If we want to talk about how discussions should work then the commenter should have first spent two minutes researching and/or explained why sources like the Associated Press (my first result when copying and pasting the comment in DuckDuckGo) aren't reliable.

"I don't understand" is a good way to foment discussion. "I don't believe you" usually isn't.

> However, their use is the exception, not the rule, and their use—in particular in combination—requires security expertise and investment that is not common. For them to provide real-world, large-scale improvements in the security outcomes of using C and C++ software, there remains significant work to be done. In particular, to provide security benefits at scale, for most software, these protections must be made an integral, easy-to-use part of the world-wide software development lifecycle. This is a big change and will require a team effort.

That's the core problem.

The mechanisms mentioned are primarily attack detection and mitigation techniques rather than prevention mechanisms. Bugs can't be exploited as easily, but they still exist in the codebase. We're essentially continuing to ship faulty software while hoping that tooling will protect us from the worst consequences.

Couldn't one argue that containers and virtual machines also protect us from exploiting some of these memory safety bugs? They provide isolation boundaries that limit the impact of exploits, yet we still consider them insufficient alone.

It's definitely a step in the right direction, though.

The paper mentions Rust, so I wanted to highlight a few reasons why we still need it for people who might mistakenly think this approach makes Rust unnecessary:

- Rust's ownership system prevents memory safety issues at compile time rather than trying to mitigate their effects at runtime
- Rust completely eliminates null pointer dereferencing
- Rust prevents data races in concurrent code, which the paper's approach doesn't address at all
- Automatic bounds checking for all array and collection accesses prevent buffer overflows by design
- Lifetimes ensure pointers are never dangling, unlike the paper's approach which merely tries to make dangling pointers harder to exploit

So, we still need Rust, and we should continue migrating more code to it (and similar languages that might emerge in the future). The big idea is to shift bug detection to the left: from production to development.

>1. MS Office doesn't work on Linux, and for many people it's a hard requirement that they specifically need it.

Office 365 is web-based and Linux accesses the web. If you're deep enough in the weeds that your survival hinges on desktop only features that can only be accessed from Windows then you're in a use case that can be resolved by getting a laptop for that purpose or being furnished one by your work.

And while your use case is fascinatingly specific, my understanding is that the paradigm there is what might be called visual hashing or perceptual hashing, which is more than mere file size comparison, but kind of hashing a more generalized notion of image similarity.

You may already know this, but from checking with chatgpt, there's something called DupeGuru which appears to be cross-platform. And also, it looks like there's some powerful Python and Perl libraries. Again, I'm sure your use case has some specific wrinkles to it, and you may very well know all of that already, so those might not help. But I suppose the interesting thing here is that the more idiosyncratic a use case is, the more closely it approximates things solved by programming languages which puts you back in the paradigm where Linux is not merely usable but I would argue the friendliest option.
As mentioned in other comments, the "self-contained" claim depends on `uv` being installed.

For those who want a really self-contained Python script, I'd like to point out the Nuitka compiler [0]. I've been using it in production for my gRPC services with no issues whatsoever - just "nuitka --onefile run.py" and that's it. It Just Werks. And since it's a compiler, the resulting binary is even faster than the original Python program would be if it were bundled via Pyinstaller.

Alien visitors are entitled to all rights in the soil of the USA, citizenship increases their means to participate in civics but it's not citizenship who grants rights like freedom of speech, etc.

> You have the right to free speech - and you will not be prosecuted, fined, or put into prison: deportation isn't prison.

Oh damn, what a nice loophole you found there, deporting them to a gulag in El Salvador isn't technically imprisonment in some twisted legal semantics game... To every other functioning mature democracy it's imprisonment.
> They would be afforded a way to challenge their deportation

So all one has to do is obtain a critical mass of illegal immigrants who "challenge" their deportations, clog up any court system created for this purpose, and they're good to go - continue working illegally for years?

> It’ll be all fine on a 200 years perspective, democracy will continue to increase its footprint, people will lead better lives.

What could that be based on? Ask the people in Venezuela, South Africa for instance, things can definitely get much worse even for decently developed countries with democracy and a solid economic foundation.

Combine with the growth of religiosness in young people across multiple growing countries, and broad (sometimes related, sometimes not) anti-democracy trends, I really wouldn't be that optimistic.

What would make one think that e.g. the Coup Belt in Subsaharan Africa will some day get more democratic? The fundamentals aren't there - the populace is generally poor and poorly educated. Strongman rule over years/decades can erode the little civic society that existed, and then it's very very hard to get an effective democracy functioning.
No, he did not consider things that have never happened before.

He can only extrapolate from events that already happened. Human made global warming is a first time, so difficult to say what will happen from a historical perspective.
> facilitating learning is their primary job

They are not facilitating learning if they help the students to not come to class. So many studies show class attendance is linked to better outcomes and learning of the knowledge.

It’s relevant to a discussion about whether AI is causing unemployment in the tech industry. Basically anything can cause unemployment if the bar is that some company somewhere is affected in a way that leads them to have to lay someone off.
They do, but the fact that there is even a distinction at this point is rather baffling. If your type system has the unit type and the bottom type, all statements should just be expressions having one of those two types.

Really helps me, as someone diagnosed and medicated for inattentive adhd.

For example if someone emails me an issue saying "that invoice software you wrote has a slight miscalculation" instead of taking me ages to work up the ability to even start working on the issue never mind trying to calm my mind to go through the data logically - if i'm having a manic adhd day - I will get the person to pop along and we can go through the issue together, this helps my brain immensely.

Even at home now if I have something urgent to do, I'll get my mum or a friend to pop round and sit and chat with me while I do the work - whether it's the laundry, or laying turf in a garden.

Otherwise I'll procrastinate until it's (almost) too late yet feel guilty every second of the time I'm not doing what I need to do.
Oh, coincidentally, that is just the time window of the technological singularity.. where we either ascend to a peace- & powerful interplanetary civilization - or accidentally eradicate ourselves out of a collective lack of wisdom and sense of connectedness. Let's play..
