Switching to something rolling release makes sense. My Arch setup (btw) has always felt much more stable than when I was using Ubuntu, because with Ubuntu I’d inevitatebly run into a bug, find out it was fixed months ago but won’t be backported, and then either live with it or try custom-installing the newer version of that thing. Or I’d install something manually that expected dependency X be the latest version, etc.
I can imagine future TVs refusing to work without an always-on internet connection.
It’s not clear in this image but I saw it in the plans the NYTimes posted for their article - but why does it need a gun range? I’m not familiar with American gun culture, but is it typical for government facilities like prisons to provide gun ranges for prison guards to practice?
I would be curious to see how often people actually upgrade their frameworks.
For me, I’ve upgraded my mainboard to a newer CPU generation for better integrated graphics (old one is in a case as a home server) and I upgraded to their matte screen when they released those.
FYI the tariffs will likely remain, they just have to be introduced in a different form. So 100% don’t expect prices to decrease, and that won’t even be because businesses are greedy.
I hate these articles because they imply that anti-depressants aren’t useful (“just excercise more!”). In my personal experience, having had about 20 years of depression and suicidal ideation since I was a child, nothing worked until I finally was on venlafaxine. That drug seriously saved and transformed my life, and I hate that there are people that will read this article for whom it might be the only treatment that will work for them, but they’ll try excercise, not get better, and blame themselves because they always could have exercised more.
Depression is a symptom of likely different hidden diseases, and some treatments will only work for some of them. That’s why it’s not uncommon for patients to need to try multiple medications before finding one that treats their underlying disease (for example, the first drug I tried, wellbutrin, actually exaccerbated my depression).
Likely excercise can be a successful treatment for some people, but it won’t work for everyone, and a headline that says it’s as effective as medication fails to communicate that that’s averaged across a population. Just like how a typical anti-depressant is only somewhat effective (amazing for some, nothing for others), I imagine exercise is the same.
Other people have good points, but even if you don’t care at all about open source or MS, Github’s reliability lately has been really bad. I think they’ve had 3 outages this month already? It’s been disruptive at my workplace and we have concerns about how we’d deploy a fix if we had an outage at the same time (since our deploys are automated using GH Actions).
Question is whether the Republican govenors still end up going “unofficially” or whether they all refuse to actually meet Trump.
Why is it indefensible? It’s literally an island which limits attacks to air and sea.
They don’t need to; most developers rely on Github.
I never understood why people use Tailscale
I use it for the NAT busting and direct connections. This means that my devices can talk directly to each other, even when there’s NAT and dynamic IPs sitting between the devices with no port forwarding. This is not possible with Wireguard alone; usually you end up with a hub and spoke network model.
As for them man-in-the-middling, the client is open source (for Android and Linux at least) and traffic is end-to-end encrypted. If you don’t want to trust them with distributing the keys (completely valid concern) then it’s possible to configure things such that you must sign the keys of clients yourself for your devices to trust them (see Tailnet Lock).
In my case, because I like self-hosting, I self-host an open-source coordination server called Headscale. So in at least my circumstance I really am only using my infrastructure and open-source code.
I think you missed the point of his post. His issue is that the numeric operations the phone executes to run the LLM is producing garbage. Arguably this could break all kinds of neural networks, such as voice transcription. He’s not complaining that the LLMs are themselves unable to properly perform math.
No. Thankfully (at the moment) vendors are allowing us to install other OSes, but if a vendor really wanted to lock you down to Windows all they’d need to do is hide one option in the bios. I’m uncomfortable with the idea that there’s no technical reason preventing the PC industry from getting as locked down as Android phones did over time.
Only if the motherboard vendor allows you to. Imagine buying a Dell or Asus laptop and being forced to only run Windows.
At some point you have to let them fail. Remind them of it again, so that when they cause a major issue in prod you can point out that you communicated it to them multiple times. If this team keeps causing outages (and aren’t covered for by other teams) then, hopefully, management high enough will become aware of it and start to crackdown on them. I know you said elsewhere you don’t want them to lose their jobs but if they can’t do it, they shouldn’t have it. It’s not like you’re sabotaging them - you’re still helping them with advice and warnings. If despite that help they still can’t get by, then them getting terminated is the remaining best outcome.
Not sure how straightforward this is, but maybe instead of fixing things directly, point out to them what the fix needs to be. “Oh, you have an extra comma here. Try removing that and then see if it works.”
By forcing them to be the ones that work in their code base, and also forcing them to have to fix their own problems (even if you hand-hold them through it), then maybe they’ll start to show a little more care.
Let’s not say he has decency. His other option was probably to be fired.
Yes and no. Wasm has no “standard library” so if you wanted to use Dates, your wasm would need to have its own implemation bundled for when the user visits the page. Ditto for everything else including string support! As you can imagine having to ship all this basic functionality can bloat the wasm and slow page loads.
You also can’t fully escape JS, as the only way wasm can interact with the page & browser are through the JS functions you write and make available to your wasm. I suppose you could take advantage of this to not have to ship your own standard library & use the JS Date implementation, but at that point why not just use JS?
Wasm has strengths but it’s not suitable for replacing JS for everyday websites.
Your approach won’t work if you’re behind carrier grade NAT or you can’t open ports. My landlord provides my internet so I use tailscale (with headscale on my long distance vps) to connect everything and it works great. It uses LAN when I’m home, and NAT punches when I’m elsewhere.
Some US states are also wanting to prosecute him and a presedential pardon doesn’t protect against that, so he has an extra reason not to testify.
