The article addresses that:

> If the answer is the salary, say it louder, and do not force yourself to make excuses.

> it'd be monstrous to mock the ambition on display

It's not "ambition" when it's what other people should do for you.

> Expelling people who have no particular attachment or roots to a given land is not ethnic cleansing.

And, pray tell, who decides if a person has "particular attachment or roots"? For example, would you be fine with me deciding if you do?

> but this kind of hyperbole

Looking at the linked DHH posts, which part(s) do you think make "ethnic cleansing" hyperbole? It seems like a pretty fair reading of his wishes to me.

> I don’t need a stair-climbing wheelchair that costs $30,000 and requires a maintenance crew. I need better doorknobs and/or a ramp. But a ramp is boring. You can't make investors have a hard on for a ramp that doesn't connect to the cloud. You can’t give a TED Talk about a ramp. You can’t get venture capital funding for a slightly wider doorframe.

Sorry yes, I meant the parliament.

There are very few ways of becoming PM without also being an MP. The PM must be able to sit in the parliament, so he must either be an MP or a member of the Lords. In theory, the current PM or even the King could make him a Peer, and therefore a member of the Lords, but neither is likely :)

It's a Blade Runner reference [1].

> Much as I hate to defend companies climbing to success and pulling up the ladder afterwards

Based on your post, you don't sound like you hate it at all.

You have freedom of speech to advocate for your politics. The rest of us have the freedom of association to not want to be involved with you in any way.

These are not contradictory - they are both essential freedoms.

The article has named sources for its quotes, whereas your comment relies entirely on "almost certainly" which sounds a lot less informed.

> Things can be fun or interesting or worthwhile without being a harrowing battle of discovery!

The quoted sentences used "correct", "right" and "wrong". Hardly the sensationalist words you're implying.

> Can someone with DMA legal knowledge translate and separate the spin?

The EU wants third-party providers to have access to the same features and UX that Siri has. When Apple says "the DMA requires Apple to give any AI system nearly unlimited access [...] That includes the ability to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and execute actions across any app." they conveniently leave out that Apple's own AI has those abilities, which is what the DMA regulates against.

> The SDK’s config ships a flag “use_netifs”: true. That flag triggers code in the SDK binary that constructs its NWConnection with a specific required interface: en0 (WiFi) or pdp_ip0 (cellular), rather than using the system default route.

> On iOS, this bypasses any configured VPN’s tun0 interface entirely. The peer tunnel does not cross a user-configured VPN, even when the rest of the app’s HTTPS traffic does.

What's a legitimate use case for this API? When/why should an app be allowed to bypass a user-configured VPN?

Your counterargument is basically just... vibes? It'd be a lot stronger if you could also back it up with studies, like the author has.

Which protected characteristic does "personal relationships" fall under? It's vague enough to mean almost anything you want it to be, and I struggle to imagine any sort of successful prosecution.

Excellent article. I'm sad that SpaceX effectively seem to have given up on Mars, but even their much less ambitious "orbital trucking" business seems unrealistic. From the article:

> Finally, there is the launch cadence SpaceX actually targets in their S-1, a million metric tons a year to Earth orbit. That frankly preposterous figure implies 25-30 Starship launches a day, with the exact number contingent on how much payload the final version of the rocket can carry.

> Launching Starship on the hour would also mean permanent no-fly zones for aircraft and a likely environmental backlash against SpaceX, who would be putting significant amounts of water vapor in the stratosphere. Overnight the company would become one of the country’s biggest consumers of methane, electric power, and liquid oxygen. And since a failure rate of 1/200 at this cadence would have Starships falling out of the sky every week, the rocket would have to improve in reliability by at least two orders of magnitude.

> However much you may love SpaceX, there is no number of bong rips that makes this scenario feel real. It’s in the S-1 is to try to prop up the company’s astronomical valuation, but the sooner we can all move past it, the better.

It's hard to disagree with any of that, but I'm sure someone will, just like with datacenters in space.

None of the problems put forward by the article are protocol related, so I'm not sure why you think Matter would/could change it.

That's surely the correct behaviour?

> I'd like my IDE to tell me when I accidentally stopped implementing an interface

I don't know about others, but Goland's analyser is pretty powerful and can navigate from interface to implementation(s) and vice versa.

Interesting note from the repo [1]:

> A Note on Model Release

> Due to organizational policy constraints, we are unable to release the full production-trained model weights. To support the research community, we plan to release a foundation checkpoint with a small number of layers removed from both the LLM backbone and the diffusion head (flow head). The remaining layers and all other components (vision encoder, projections, embeddings, etc.) are fully preserved. With a short fine-tuning pass on your own data, the removed layers can be quickly re-learned and the model restored to full quality.

> I have embraced being a [...] progressive hall monitor

Well, at a minimum, I do agree that the author seems to have intended this post for people like you.

> In contrast, the American Revolution was founded on principles of freedom and law [...] did not embrace violence as desireable

That's pretty rich, since the United States only exists thanks to systemic, deliberate violence on a mass scale against the local population.

> It says there are posts from April 2017, but the domain has only been up for a year.

I don't know the author, but presumably the blog predates the domain.

When the machine wakes up, systemd checks the timer's schedule and when it last ran. If one or more runs were missed due to the sleep, it's executed immediately.

I invoke backups from a systemd timer. If the schedule is missed (due to sleep, power off etc.) it runs it at the next earliest opportunity.

"The" brain, or just yours? Mine certainly doesn't obsess over a bad interaction "even after hundreds of mild-to-positive ones."

Set up forwarding in Gmail to your new address.

Then, whenever you log in to a website or app with your Gmail, take a moment to change it to your new address. In a few weeks, most of your important accounts will be covered. In a few months, almost everything you still actively use will be done.

I did this ~5 years ago and the only thing that still arrives at my Gmail is spam.
