Друже Тито, ми ти се кунемо, да са твога пута не скренемо!

The source to Signal is open to analysis if you doubt its security. I suspect they C&D forks because they don't follow coding/security practices as upstream does, and it would be too hard to ensure they would if they just let anyone fork it.

Dammit, I clicked thinking Eclipse was releasing an update to their IDE :).

Rumor has it, it may eventually replace Linux as the underlying OS to Android/ART. By now I'm thinking G's leadership is realizing the epic undertaking it would mean to bring Fuchsia to maturity... and I give Fuchsia a 50/50 chance of ending up in the vast Google graveyard (https://killedbygoogle.com/) in the next 5 years.

I'm curious why they couldn't poach one of the L4 microkernels to build Fuchsia on, specifically SEL4 which is used in Genode/SculptOS, same as they did with Linux and Android. It would've given them a strong base to build on, saved time/$$$....

If you're interested in precise time keeping, this is Time-Nuts is a great place to start (http://www.leapsecond.com/time-nuts.htm).

That's ok, we split the internet then.

judging by the flame fest they received on their github issues/comments section, I doubt they'll be proceeding. Then again, money talks and b.s. takes the walk every time and twice on sunday.

That's why I'm on Gab.

That's been my 'magic formula' for RT ratings as well :).

72 isn't really too old. Does anyone know what caused his death? Revenge of the COVID?

Send us a photo of your illegal alien that you allowed to move in with you please.

Democrats don't mind sewage spilling into the USA? Which do you think is easier to clean up, 50M illegals or border sewage leaks?

It's not. I come from that area. He's telling the truth.

ty, had no idea about this.

Funnily enough, I just got my HAM radio General license - precisely because I can't stand s*t like this. Now I'm just waiting for someone to clamp down on HAM frequencies......

are there plugins/add-ons to emacs for Java that lets a dev do the kind of refactoring available in eclipse or intellij? It seems emacs brings a lot of power to develop such tools with it, but are the tools there yet or am I stuck having to write every little thing on my own by having to master lisp?

Exactly. Thx for the heads up.

You're well informed, sir/madam. :)

Almost always the probably, almost certain answer to an essay like this is a "no."

Google could focus on making C++/Rust interop as smooth as Carbon's instead.

The desire for control will unite even philosophically disparate governments. Pay attention.

"Schmidt was asked just a few hours before he died if he wanted medical care, but he refused because it would upset the symptoms he was documenting."

His passion for his craft appears to have been second to none. A scientists' scientist. Truly inspiring.

Sorry to offend your sensibilities bud. This discussion thread is over.

I could. The next thing he will do is accuse me of solipsism. So I'm gonna stop right here and agree with him.

How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

are you feeling depressed or suicidal?

I'd like to think we're more than just machines. We have souls, understand and live by a hopefully objective set of moral values and duties, aren't thrown off by contradictions the same way computers are.... Seems to me "reproducing" that in AI isn't likely... despite what Kurzweil may say :).

How's that? I don't even see problem free self-driving taxis, and they even passed legislation for those in California. There's hype and then there's reality. I get your optimism though.

Seems we're approaching limits of what is possible w/AI alone. Personally, I find a hybrid approach - interfacing human intelligence w/AI (e.g. like the Borg in ST:TNG?) to provide the military an edge in ways that adversaries cannot easily/quickly reproduce or defeat. There's a reason we still put humans in cockpits even though commercial airliners can pretty much fly themselves....

Hardware and software (AI or anything else) are tools, IMHO, rather than replacements for human beings....

If this staves laying people off, then I'm all for it.

Unless laws are passed to make filming others in public, this is unlikely to ever stop. Chances are, such laws will not get passed as it will intrude on civil liberties and free expression of many. I also recommend against swatting away, as the author in the Verge concludes he/she will do, at someone's phone if they don't consent to being recorded. You run the risk of breaking someone's phone that way, giving potential rise to increased conflict or a small claims suit. Best response is to walk away or ignore.
