What if someone has fifty windows open with fifty tabs each?

Asking for a friend.

Solid effort - good job.

It's a bummer if any of the employees got rug-pulled but many of the best employees will strike out on their own, form new companies with working conditions they value, and likely hasten Skydance's demise.

nah, a RS code can correct a tiny bit of loss but two metadata copies can correct a bad sector or even track if you're lucky.

Different requirement spaces.

The idea this guy has might make embedded devices slightly more long-lasting.

They usually have quantity one of a cheap storage part and a bad block in the wrong place could brick the whole thing.

It would only be useful in the case where maybe the build is 12MB and the chip is 16.

Most vendors won't ever pay extra for this.

I suspect the people who hate it don't have problems it solves.

Maybe a very basic home laptop is fine with SysV today and they don't want to learn anything new.

Personally I've been able to retire thousands of lines of scripts I'd written to handle complex things with many edge cases and ugly devops modules that are no longer needed with more recent releases.

There's just no userland interface to many of the events it can respond to and it's not easy to write a new C++ daemon to handle each need that comes up.

At this point it's largely a functional API to kernel events in the way I use it. That's the DOTADIW perspective for me. I still have services call my scripts where it doesn't handle what I need. It would be crazy to ever expect it to handle everything.

But just because I need to handle complex things at scale sometimes doesn't mean everybody else does. If I want to run debian with X11 and emacs and you want to run Devuan with Wayland and vi, you'll get no argument from me.

Who has time for drama these days?

The last time I interacted with turnitin, I could easily see its shortcomings. That software is made to look for cheating and plagiarism. That works well for essays, but for math you're looking at a square peg - round hole problem. There are a lot of different ways to write a paragraph on an historical figure. There are only so many ways to solve a given practice math problem. It's easy to show that a history student copy / pasted from wikipedia, it's very difficult to show if a math student came up with the correct math answer on their own or googled it.

The proper way to asses learning in a math class is a live in-person test. Homework should be for the students to practice their learning, and if they choose to not learn while doing it that will be seen on the exam.

This discussion on their inclusion in Mozilla is quite revealing:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/s...

Elsewhere it's claimed that they used a FIPS HSM to generate their keys.

I did not see who their auditor was.

Did eMudhra lie?
Did the auditor lie?
Are FIPS HSM's backdoored?
Do we have another Dual_EC_DRBG situation on our hands here?

If nobody is lying we could have just seen a huge cyberwar or false flag averted. Essential crypto gear could be totally buggered still.

PS Remember when Mozilla gave CACert absolute hell for years when they were tremendously more competent?

I don't think the main issue is the end-user software. It's all the other stuff that makes the company work. I work for a small startup, and I can list at least a dozen software platforms that we use, and I'm sure there are dozens more; none of which we could trivially migrate away from. (Fortunately, most of which I don't really want to, as they work fairly well.)

Besides the technical stuff, there's the HR benefits, the expense reporting, the door lock manager, the office reservation system, etc. I'm sure all of these are subscriptions. Many are probably quite inexpensive, but some aren't.

At some point, it will be cheaper to tell Claude, "We use the OverPriced platform. Examine our usage of it, and develop a replacement platform tailored to our needs, and include a transition plan to suck all our existing data and configurations over to the new system." But then there's one more system to support locally, which may not be worth the cost. Or if OverPriced is too ridiculous, do the same, but spin it off as FairPriced and compete.

I thought we lured them all onto Facebook then ran for the hills?

Maybe the jacket has a kevlar fiber for support?

Of course they would do that.

> One older cpu went flakey with "cpu errors"

That's often the thermal paste drying out. Clean the fan, repaste the chip, good for a few more years.

Usually.

A recent psychology study suggests that heavy AI users can improve productivity and lose the ability to focus at the same time.

Forgetting which list is in the To: could be an example of diminished focus.

Pure spec.

I now am dependent in part for my livelihood on paypal. Going to check my contact info there now.

The DOD/DOW have been working on this for a while. They discovered, early on, that the device had a propensity to cause permanent nerve damage.

It's very unlikely the US have fixed that, as they'd largely sidelined the work as a failure. However, at 36%, Trump needs something he can call a win, no matter what the long-term consequences.

Looks like both bookworm and trixie are fixed as of about 3am UTC last night.

Sync your mirrors if it's off cycle. Luckily mine sync around 9am, hopefully the buildbots were busy..

For bookworm you need 8.2.35-1~deb12u1 .

Thank you, Guilhem.
