Part of the reason we're seeing objectionable government action now is because we militarized law enforcement tasks and equipment in the post-9/11 era.

I don't think the article is saying don't build a payload-agnostic telemetry engine. The specific examples cited are that it's probably legitimate to have a vehicle registration database (with the caveat that even that cou

It didn't write a driver. It used a linux driver. You don't need an LLM.

But the dominant print daemon on Linux, CUPS, was literally acquired by apple to form the basis of their printer architecture.

by asveikau 2mo ago
I'm pretty sure I've used that exact printer on Linux without issue. Long ago, deep into the pre ai era. Edit: no, I was thinking of the older p1008.

The github release pages for this project have me wondering who it is for. There are multiple releases per day. Also the Linux release binaries do not compile for CUDA. It's more reasonable for a lot of people to just follow master a

Ah ok. So the Bulgarian printed lowercase looks similar to Russian cursive.

I don't think it's NIH so much as the glibc ABI is a broad surface of implementation specific choices outside the C standard, and a moving target. It's an emergent property of many small implementation choices that another li

Is that true? Other than things like not seeing a Ы, Э or Ё in Bulgarian, the modern printed fonts look the same to me, though I am not from either country.

I know it's not the same, but you can "kind of" name them by using them as a template parameter, then, scoped to the template, you can reference them under the template parameter name. Anyway, I don't see it mentioned an

This subheading popped out at me: > The new AI economy I don't know if this phrasing is intentional, but it gives me a chuckle. The dotcom boom was called "the new economy" about 26-28 years ago.

Have you met cops? They are not able to sit still or write things down. You expect too much of them.

If they disagreed about something so fundamental as the attribution of copyright, it would be a serious schism, from my outside perspective it seems along the lines of something that would lead to a fork or separation between the projects.

These policies seem to be often evolving lately in many projects, but I believe OpenBSD (the project OpenSSH is contained inside) is currently skeptical of AI generated code contributions at this point in time. For example, I found this on

That's one reason I phrased it as density rather than weight or a raw count of calories. For density we would have the weight as a denominator. It's conceivable that if they've removed better quality ingredients, calories per

by asveikau 2mo ago
I'd be curious to know, with the reduction in size, if calorie density went up. Because that would fit a lot of people's perception of how food is going: you get less, but what you do get is worse for you.

You never know what's going on in the mind of another person, they could have something going on that makes them feel negatively about qemu. We can project our stress into all kinds of strange places.

by asveikau 2mo ago
The other thing is that qemu is so many things. It can be a CPU emulator, a full system emulator, and a frontend to a virtualization engine. And all of this for so many different systems. It's kind of remarkable that all of this is

The M dash stands out, as does "no bindings, ..." but I feel like the LLM would have gotten the correct use of the question mark when they rhetorically ask "why?"

Sounds like quite an ordeal, hope things are going well now.
