Nobody gives a shit what the UN says about laws or rights except for a few Karen-type lawyers almost invariably in first world western countries (which is to say, nobody gives a shit). Citing it is a surefire way to not get taken seriously. Oh, and unless it’s incorporated into a statute (it isn’t, basically anywhere) it isn’t binding.

Come up with a better argument than quoting some aspirational bullshit from the UN.

Its a shame that the various implementations are pretty horrible. Global state, static methods etc etc.

If you get rid of that, and just pass dependencies around, create some appropriate local abstraction around them.. the tooling, be it datadog or honeycomb does a great job making it useful. Can't really say the same for grafana, but ymmv - depending on budget


such documents are worth only as much as the population wants to, is willing to, and is able to enforce them.

small typo fix:

instead of `std.io`, it should be `init.io`. `init` is first parameter in `main` function.


qt is exhausting. flutter is actually awesome these days but the last thing i want to do is commit to dart

> Deleting data securely involves overwriting all the previously allocated filesystem blocks with random data. No one should be able to discern that now-empty space had data in it as of some specific recent datetime.

If it was like a HDD maybe that could work, but most modern solid state storage doesn't work like that any more.

You can't reliably overwrite any data, because the default is to write any new data in an empty sector (sort of, it has to do with how flash storage works, because of "wear leveling"), which is managed at the hardware level of the storage itself, so you also can't really tell the OS to do something else.


> Motorola Mobility, owned by Lenovo (China).

Praise be the lord for Chinese Motorola Mobility if so, because they were the ones who launched and shipped the Motorola Moto G phone which was probably the best cheap Android phone available that could fit into my hand properly, until the 5th/6th generation, when I had to move away from them as they too became too large.

Hope they go back to their (Chinese) roots shortly and launch more "normal sized" phones again, if they'll be able to run GrapheneOS as well that'd be a huge plus obviously :)


Absolute gem of an article.

I recommend taking the time to go to the original writeup -- you can see all the soldering on perfboard!

(More seriously, it's incredibly informative if your understanding of homebrew busses is stil in the "shared CPU bus" era. The interface to 68k memory-mapped IO is described in the "First PCI tests" section.

The key resulting limitation right now is that bus mastering is not implemented, but I don't think this is inherently impossible on the 68k bus: Macintosh addon SCSI cards did the same thing, no?)

Oracle:

    "Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn - you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think "oh, the lawnmower hates me" – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle."

This. I (41) joined a gym last year. Did wonders for my physical and mental health.

As you get older you need more and more protein to build muscles. I need to get 150 grams of protein per day. That is difficult.

And you need more recovery time.

I have friends who never went to the gym. They develop more back issues.


> I didn't really need to see a million examples of the author's vibe coded slop before getting to the topic which the title suggested the article would be about.

Agreed. One would hope the article would go into detail of how to make a great GUI (including tips on how to make sure it’s easy to navigate with a keyboard).


This is a great comment. Yes, for remote execution the tools need to be adjusted as well. That example is not great. I will be working on this over the next few days.

Don't discount the capability of representing human-like intelligence with simple constructs. Give enough parameters and advanced enough training you can without a doubt create real intelligence. We've seen some of this already with "j-space" where llms have started to exhibit reasoning before it ever reaches the output head.

Very nice.

I'm sure this isn't actually what happened, but when you said "as I have a loud voice" and then "did a few calls" and finally "shoulder shrugs at their end", I imagine you shouting over the phone to them, and them not understanding why your are shouting instead of just talking.

Maybe this isn't any of my businesses, but couldn't you just talk less loudly, if this is such a issue? Most microphones are good enough, and were in the 90s too, to pick up normal conversational volume :)


there's a million gui frameworks under the sun and i still haven't found one that feels like what everyone has been asking for:

good dx, cross platform, fast, not ugly.

pick i dunno 2 or 3.

tui's get to check 2 or 3 of these just like any other gui library. somehow there still isn't a silver bullet here.

now i personally don't build tuis but guake style dropdown simple command and i have some other thing someone made open immediately running in ghostty? hell yea. with that said yes there are some stupid tuis out there that are anything but simple.


I could go on about this all day. Best meme is when you estimate stories for storypoints and then they haggle with you without changing the content of the story. Meanwhile points mean actual time. Then on another side if you haggled down points, you then have more slots for more points. So you end up getting assigned 3x work for the same time. The blame game starts when the sprints elapse lmao

Will give it a shot and loved the "LLMs were used as a tool, not as a brain replacement"

At this moment there are right wing conspiracies from people like Owens and Tucker that Charlie Kirk was killed by Israel because he was getting critical of them and would be against the war.

I am not saying that these conspiracies are true, but this is how fascism looks like. Putin doesn't arrest all of his political challengers, but he gets rid of the ones that are viable opponents. In case of Kirk, he is popular enough to make it big in politics and in the short term he could break the party narrative.


Funny how science deniers will downvote anything that doesn’t fit their world view

Offloading problems makes it so you do not have to solve them.

If you don't have to solve a problem, your brain does not have that work to do.

Your brain working less means it has less opportunities to train.

The consequence is worse cognitive abilities which is tied to worse learning outcomes.

-

From your link:

> Sustained calculator use in Grade 4 appears to hinder the development of basic skills in average students.

It noted the following positive outcome:

> apparently improves the average student's basic skills with paper and pencil, both in working exercises and in problem solving

But this only measured the outcome for solving math. Yes, offloading problems will make it easier to solve problems, at the cost of not training your brain, which leads to worse learning outcomes across all subjects.


You've answered your own question. The law is hackable for certain kinds of people. If you're not one of the protected categories, it's prudent to consider it unhackable.

we need a way to access locally running web apps without doing an ugly http://localhost:8022 and having to remember that.

I'd say http://localapps should give an overview of all web apps running locally, with links to them. Those links should follow a naming scheme where the hostname ends with `.local` or smth.

So: http://claudecode.local


If you unleash that gun, you are responsible for deaths that predictably occure. By "responsible" I mean, you are straightforwardly mass murderer.

This autonomous gun is just like a bomb.


It's a fairly standard technique, dating to one of the previous AI summers, there's loads of them. When they're small (~"differential diagnosis between 5 common illnesses"), they're basically normal computer programs; when they get too big (well before Wikipedia sized) they have a scaling problem, which is kinda why LLMs happened.


No, you don't understand: what exactly is "unfair" and what "fair" alternative is he proposing? And show us how it is fair for both sides.

The thing is who are those fleeing from California - if they are the ones that reliably voted Democrat since the 90-s - then you should be scared of them flipping Texas blue if they want the same policies that lead California to its current messiness. If those are disillusioned democrats that actually want different set of policies - it is different beast, but I haven't actually seen good studies on the matter.
