Sure, I wish everything was perfectly fair too. But how do you practically and REALISTICALLY proceed, and ensure you don't end up doing more damage than benefit? The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Everyone seems much m

Sorry that's nonsense. There's human awareness when ingesting MIT code into an LLM too. In both cases it's a human that says $ excute-global-replace or $ ingest-into-llm Both operations require some degree of human

A frontal cortex isn't enough; there are plenty of corner cases that humans fail at too. The real test is if self-driving performs on par, or better than, humans in the vast majority of cases. If it saves 50,000 lives a year to go w

I'm sympathetic, since I think copyright laws are far too extensive and generous. But it's not simple, there are a lot of companies that won't fall under your jurisdiction, and the question is if that will give them a compet

That's like saying you're not allowed to load the source code into an editor, because it's not a person. Or that you're not allowed to run a global search-replace on the entire code base, because it's a script and

Practically speaking, who is going to enforce such a regime? Do you really want to give Chinese companies such a huge competitive advantage, that they aren't subject to the same costs as western companies? How do you even sort out wh

At this point, anyone who relies on Alphabet for anything, deserves what they get. Fool me once... and all that.

What do people imagine can be done about it at this point? Offer a concrete suggestion. Any law or tax against this will give a huge advantage to other countries. It's already over, there's no going back to a world where this d

It seems pretty clear that the economy all of us grew up in is a historical anomaly; and it's ending. There has never been a sustained large and dominant middle-class, and ours is disappearing right before our eyes; with little chance

Obviously you should be free to develop anything you want, using any tools you want. But the installation instructions featuring "npm" as the first step, means a hard pass for me. We have to stop building on quicksand.

Thanks for the chuckle. But a lot of us are hanging on for dear life, and still living independently.

I'm curious, but unable to ascertain, does the same problem exist in the original Zig code? Is this an issue introduced by the translation to Rust? Because if it is a problem that can be replicated in both code bases, it seems a p

In fairness, that isn't due to a lack of compute.

It is naive to think that this is being done without the full support of the government. They won't step in to stop it.

The LDS wanted it to continue to be more of a faith-based organization, and also objected to combining boys and girls together into the same program. Ultimately they left the organization at the end of 2019, taking about 20% of the members

> zero improvement on end-user experience. Maybe not by itself, but it does allow for the ecosystem to be audited, in a way that ultimately benefits the end-user. It really is an important part of a healthy supply chain.

One side could be flush with an enclosure, but it's not clear how you attach the other side to a cable. There doesn't appear to be any housing to cover soldered wires, for instance.

Even if we accept your premise, laws don't just appear; they are an organized response to a recognized problem. But everyone has been sleeping on the problem lurking in our infrastructure, undermining any impetus to enact such laws.

Everyone, including Linus Torvalds, who rejected Stallman as too political or ideological, and advocated for "pragmatism" instead, is part of the reason we're where we are today. And it's going to get a lot worse, befo

I wouldn't hold your breath. The government is reliant on them for surveillance, censorship, and propaganda. It is a synergistic relationship, not adversarial.

Not of the host system, assuming we're talking about a compromised VM, running as a non-root user.

It's not always as easy as you imply. All the attack vectors you mentioned, require root on the host, before you can make the change or install the trojan.

Didn't see a pdf of your thesis, except on your web-site[1]. But the version there (at least as it renders on my machine), has numerous formatting issues. For one egregious example, look at the letter spacing in the title and legend

That goes without saying. But there are a few bug reports and issues that have gone without a response for months. It seems abandoned, rather than finished to perfection. Not to mention that systemd is a moving target, with new features

I'd welcome such a tool, but it makes me nervous that it hasn't had any activity at all in three months. Was this just a single-shot effort, and move on?

With Firefox, moving the cursor is really unresponsive and difficult, at least with my touch-pad. Taking many swipes to move even a little bit in each direction. It's a much more enjoyable experience with Chrome.
