Keep the time constant the year around and if there are reasons that certain workers or schools should start an hour earlier in summer then change their times by an hour.

Altman is hardly likely to come proclaim AI is a shell game with enormous potential to ruin lives. Because he's got his bank account and personal enrichment to worry about. The grift will perpetuated by his ilk until the bubble collapses or they and their company becomes criminally and financially liable for the consequences.

Assuming Flock were the reason for the drop in crime (it isn't), then the job could still be performed by an ANPR / ALPR system run and operated by the state with a specific, well defined and legal purpose with oversight. It would certainly be better than allowing a private company to harvest that information and use it for god knows what nefarious purpose.

Who said it was "hard"? But it isn't fast and it is a pain in the ass if you just want to run a container having to do it through some desktop shim image (Rancher and Podman use backends images just like Docker) or an Ubuntu image. If wslc makes it easy to invoke straight from a prompt it will save time, memory and effort. I expect a compose function will show up in due course too. I would also not be surprised if some of these Desktop applications support wslc directly instead of through shim images.

Docker on windows is usually done one of two ways - Docker for Desktop (a commercial product) which is basically using WSL2 as a backend and its own custom distro, or you install Ubuntu and install docker inside of it. Neither is particularly convenient if you just want to a container off the cuff for some reason and I assume Microsoft want to make it more easier, faster and more convenient for those use cases.

I don't have an objection to GMO per se, but I do to bullshit PR pieces that start off with an exaggerated benefit and then overlook the obvious issues that meaning that benefit will never happen. Aside from the GMO angle, if the contention is that food waste and emissions are a thing, then it would be far more effective to crack down on the way supermarkets sell stuff in quantities that people don't need, e.g. packaging & pricing certain kinds of fruit and veg including bananas in quantities that guarantee food waste.

I love press releases which are total bollocks. Such as announcing a genetically modified banana and hypothesizing the carbon savings if the entire world switched over to this banana when that is something that never happen. In fact I wonder how many plantations would be willing to switch over if they and consumers have to bear the cost of this presumably patented and controlled plant. And it's not like with some GMO products which can be produced for domestic consumption where approval is one regulatory hurdle - bananas are grown predominantly for export from tropical countries so there are multiple hurdles. And it's interesting they claim "British shoppers" will enjoy these bananas - since we all know how welcoming the UK and the EU are to genetically modified products.

They made ChromeOS because a separate team developed it independently of Android and the company didn't have the good sense to kill/combine efforts. 15 years later and the combination of the two is still half assed.

As far as regimes opposed to the US are concerned, maybe they'll start poisoning AI and open source data with deliberately false and misleading information because the intelligence are too stupid to do some due diligence. Maybe that's what happened here, or the AI just hallucinated something. I doubt it would be hard to drop some poisoned information in the wild and have missiles hit targets with nothing of strategic value in them.

I think ChromeOS is a good OS but it's suited to casual consumption and education. It should be running on cheap laptops running mobile processors.

Google also hasn't helped itself by having ChromeOS *and* Android and trying to mush them together so badly. I have no idea if "Googlebook" is where the two finally become the one, or not, but the company must have wasted hundreds of millions in development, customer confusion / dissatisfaction by having this disconnect.

You've looked at them. Now try changing them and understand what brittle means.

A search on "unsafe" in uutils shows about ~70 usages (excluding tests, logging) and they're mainly calls out to kernel / API via libc. e.g. calling libc::signal(). The exception is some calls to a rust lib that gets/sets environment variables whose functions are marked unsafe because they're process global, not thread safe.

KDE still hasn't figured out that sometimes less is more. It wants to be a Windows knockoff but throws more buttons and menus in the face of users, introduces too much unforgiving behaviour, lacks discoverability, has too many settings, has little consistency between core applications and expends little effort to ever to address these issues. It's a dog's dinner of a desktop.

And when you read KDE's human interface guidelines it becomes clear why it's such a mess. The HIG reads like a developer free-for-all. It points at existing apps as precedent, or mentions some class or another, or waffles into wordy sections. But what it doesn't do is layout a clear vision of what KDE UX should be including illustrative examples, usage patterns and so forth. Some of the HIG is hilariously stupid, such as explicitly refusing concepts like basic & advanced settings. No wonder its a kitchen sink.

Compare to the GNOME HIG if you want to see what a HIG should be. And no that doesn't mean KDE needs to "dumb down" to become GNOME but it needs to lay out its stall in a way that developers can follow and its UX needs to be designed on sound principles. e.g. KDE has Kirigami to produce modern usage patterns, so write the HIG around that. Make it fit for purpose and maybe some of that kitchen sink mentality will go away.

And he posts moronic shit like this out on a daily basis. The end of his presidency can't come soon enough. Hopefully he is wiped out in the mid terms to limit the amount of stupidity he can get away with and increase the chances of his removal from office.

Exactly. It's just an arrogant and dumb statement that ignores reality.
