What about Green Hills?

Yup. Which is why they are in control. Don't underestimate how far a fool can go.

> In this particular case, the IT consultant was owed money by a failing business, and he put 1) a picture of the business premises, and 2) pictures of him firing guns, on a website where he was sure the business owner would see it.

From your own link, this was from 2 separate posts. I don't know man, this sounds like an excuse from the company to cause trouble and avoid having to pay the owed money.

Couldn't be bothered to read the article before commenting?

> James Bilson, global fixed income strategist at Schroders, said fiscal policy and debt sustainability are crucial for bond markets and the current rise in U.S. yields is not yet a sign of increasing sovereign credit risk.

> The cost of insuring U.S. sovereign debt against the risk of default, as reflected by credit default swaps, has fallen to its lowest since February, for example.

> "Combined policy is too loose to deliver sustained 2% inflation," he said. "This, in one line, is the root cause of the current weakness in bonds. Solve inflation, and many other problems become much easier too."

I fully agree! And if they still disagree, perhaps we could open special camps where we could forcefully reeducate them! After all, there is but one correct design language for buildings and it's a hideous slab of concrete that our ancestors would weep if they could see.

On a serious note, I've seen conspiracy theories about how such ugly modernist architecture is being used to break our spirits, to make us numb to ugliness and to promote an acceptance of mediocrity. While I originally dismissed it, I've become old enough to see many beautiful buildings replaced with caricatures of them. I'm starting to wonder if there weren't a kernel of truth to these ramblings.

Funny since the GrapheneOS devs praise the iPhone for it's security.

I personally prefer seeing real advancement that integrate both hardware and software like their EMTE[1] which no other vendor has had the balls to implement.

And I say that as a GOS user! My next phone will definitely be an iPhone, mostly because I cannot deal with the terrible Tensor SOC. My G4 overheats for nothing! Shameful

But the Chinese are doing just that?

Legal != moral

The problem is that the NSA violates everyone's privacy without a care in the world.

This makes it pretty easy for them. Stockpile a bunch of vulnerabilities and go to town.

When you cannot even know what their budget is (since it's classified), can you even know what their capabilities are?

Electricity here in Quebec is dirt cheap, state owned and 100% renewable. Our first 40 kWh per day is 7 cents per kWh which is roughly 0.05 USD.

Any calculations I've done made it unfortunately useless to buy solar and instead favoured investing the money in the stock market.

The main problems from that Duo was that Microsoft didn't believe in it.

This lead them to use a garbage CPU and support it for something like 2 years.

Apple has the balls to keep updating the vision pro even after it flopped and it will probably get 7 years.

From the article, it seems more about chinese brands, no?

> Some records even refer customers to Temu or AliExpress for spare parts and repair instructions.

> But even for products that are technically compliant, the listed weblink still rarely offers a direct path to parts prices. For major brands such as Apple and Samsung, it can take some clicking around before you find what you need, Right to Repair says.

> The battery bank from which I power my home is 12V (24V or 48V would be better and I’ll upgrade when the time is right). All my electricity comes from this battery bank.

> I have a power inverter, meaning I can use appliances with normal/household plugs, but the inverter wastes some power in the conversion process, stepping up from 12V to 220V. To then plug in a power brick, which will again throw away some power in converting 220V back down to whatever voltage a device uses, means double wastage, and a mess of plugs and wires.

Is this... a joke? How much freaking amps are you pulling? Average Canadian electricity consumption is 1270 watts. 1270 / 12 = 100+ Amps for one hour.

I'm guessing this is more of a third world situation and that electricity usage is much lower, but still...I fail to see how you would get to a setup like this. If you're fully off-grid then your generator or solar system could give you much higher voltage. If not, how are you charging the battery bank?

EDIT: From your CV, you are from the UK. I'm very confused.

> I’m not an uncritical Steve Jobs fan. I know, from having worked closely with people who worked directly for Jobs for many years, that he could be a mercurial, and brutish, boss.

That's a pretty big euphemism for Steve Jobs being a piece of shit. What I've realized throughout the years of working is that being able to work as a team is almost more important than your technical capacity. You can always become better in your field, but becoming a better human is a lot harder.

The reason industrial PLCs cost so much is because of their reliability. They need to be working flawlessly 50 years in the future. Trying to vibe code your way into a PLC compiler feels like it could blow up in your face after a little while.

That is also ignoring the safety PLCs with safety instructions that are certified for use with ISO 13849. Can you imagine getting inspected because your safety subsystem cause injury and you explain how you don't use the officially licensed software to program it.

For personal project, that could be fun however.

Maybe you're being sarcastic, but I'm pretty sure clang + gcc do offer these.

The problems at first glance :

- Not having control over the implementation detail of the interface that your library provides is probably not wise. Sounds like a lot of bad bug reports and edge cases that you have no control over.

- Not all compilers may provide these.

You have no idea how deep this rabbit hole goes. Search for EFF printers secret tracking.

Virtually all commercial printers embed an invisible identifier on every page printed.

What operating systems use SeL4? I know of the following:

- GenodeOS

- LionsOS

- A chinese car maker was using it as a hypervisor in their cars, IIRC

- What else? Are there any private deployments you guys are aware of?

Realistically, most smartphones are made by the same ODMs. Since they don't make their own screens, shells, CPUs or modems, the only thing being set apart is the software.

Huh? Can't you very easily tell by checking if there is a light strip on the side?

Isn't it the same for Windows? There have been countless programs throughout the years that I've uninstalled and saw remnant folders in %appdata%, Documents folder, Program Files folder with only 2 remaining files inside, sometimes even hidden folders by default.

What? Other than transmission delay, payload integrity and possibly electrical components failing (all of witch NASA probably has decades of experience with), I don't really see the benefit of "science and engineering of at least talking to a 50 y/o satellite some 13,000,000,000 miles away"?

As the others have said, to me it seems to be the opposite. I went to Switzerland recently and was shocked at how kid friendly it was (very walkable, kid section in trains, parks with fun toys instead of shitty plastic statues).

I also saw a whole lot of families and children.

As I'm getting older and looking in the coming years at having children, the value of a tight, walkable community has risen exponentially to me.

But then you're using other methods, you're not using the ID as tracker. In fact if you just remove it, it eliminates this entire discussion.

You should be careful not to conflate viruses and CVEs.

Considering no Linux distro come with an antivirus by default, Linux as a desktop was always extremely vulnerable to bad actors.

As a server, I would argue otherwise.

I'm sorry if this is too negative, but I give it less than 12 months before it's abandoned.

Maintaining a linux distro gets very boring after a while.

Yeah, if the title was : Vibe coded SQL engine written in rust, I don't think much anger would be found in the comments.

But then its credibility would be abysmally low, which makes it undesirable for the authors.

But how can it be a mechanical rewrite if the tool used isn't deterministic?

Those that care don't have the money and those that have the money don't care.

What does this have anything to do with SpaceX? This is a contract between NASA and a startup, quite common.

Is it just for clickbait and to have the popular SpaceX tag?

Excuse my terrible ignorance but isn't there still a branch? If numbers[i] < 500 then 1 else 0? I would think something like addition plus a bit comparison would avoid said branch. Unless compilers already optimize the code, but then wouldn't they also optimize the naive piece of code?
