I mentioned this in an old thread, and the article itself talks about it. Don’t think this is a “women’s representation issue”. It is much more nuanced, complicated, and sinister. Following is a good read on what it actually means.

The sudden rapid re-release of all that sequestered carbon is as natural as the process that formed it 378M years ago.
Let me highlight. You are telling industrial revolution, and the emmision of green house gases is as natural as, some other process happened in the nature? And humans continued doing it even after knowing the consequences of it, even when there were much better alternatives abundantly available?
I’m struggling to see the “natural” part of it.
I think it is just chain of trust. Many used Microslop as the trust authority (may be due to convenience? I have no idea). Debian has a nice page on Secure boot and how it works.
Aww… My dog is also named Nora.
I’m extremely conflicted about this.
On one hand I believe, ads industry is behind the age verification laws, and governments and law enforcement agencies are taking this as an opportunity to increase surveillance on citizen.
On the other hand, there are genuine risk in not regulating tech products used by kids. Especially AI chats. But I’m not convinced age verification is the solution.
When the IT proliferated in 90s and 2000s, tech companies played the standard game of arguing that the laws present at that time were inadequate for regulating them, and this resulated in the surveillance nightmare we are currently in. The former Commissioner of Federal Trade Commission of USA, Lina Khan, in an interview with Jon Stewart, pointed this out, and drew parallels on how AI comapnies are using the same playbook now.
This is a classic trick played by capitalism, where they push for “unregulated” free market. This usually results in severe harm on kids and marginalized groups in the society, because oppressor get more power and accountability is non existent. But at the same time, every attempt to bring in regulations usually results in increased surveillance by data brokers and governments, which helps these groups to either make money or get into power.
All these power hungry maniacs, and money making machines, don’t care about a common person. People are commodities for them. A resource to make money or get into power. Unless things start to have a people first approach, ironically which is what democracy claims to do, this is going to be bad for a common person like you and me. We suffer, they gain. We get oppressed, and they get more power to oppress.
The tooling around AI should be to improve the quality of the programmer. Not to write the code for the programmer.
For example if you ask an agent how to scale things well, and best practices in architecture, it will have a lot of resources on it. But that does not mean the code it will produce when you ask it to write a programme will consider and include the best practices it gave you in a separate question. That is the ‘intelligence’ part that LLMs cannot have. If you ask a it to do a certain way it will create it. Context tries to address this by prompting the user to give more, but that is not persistent.
This is exactly why senior devs finding LLMs works for them, because they know ‘how’ to do it, and they explicitly state it. But at the same time junior devs feel they think the code written by LLM is the ‘best’ way so solve a problem and superior in quality, even if it is not, because they don’t know any better.
Tooling should be able to help the developers improve their knowledge and skill on ‘how’ to do it. Instead it always focus on writing the code. I want to add that I’m not talking about algorithms. But every aspect of coding, in which the programmer needs to know ‘how’ to do it.
Also note that almost all of the Europian countries abstained from voting. I think we are seeing the effects of colonialism.
The resolution talks about ‘reparatory justice’ which I think these colonialists, and countries benefitted from slave trade are afraid of. I feel they see it as, if they agree to it they will have to take actions now and in future, and have to pay or compensate for the injustice.
The justification given by US is utter bullshit. Wealth of western countries mainly came from extracting resources, both human and material, from Asian and African countries. Claiming otherwise is just ignoring the past and neglecting the injustice.
May be you should read about the Partition of India happened when the country gained independence from British.
Edit: Also I have no clue what is the meaning of “owning” a river, like the ownership of a river can be transferred or something.
There is a GitHub link in the post. Not hyperlinked. May be that’s why you missed. Here is the link.
The full story is much more complex, and dark. Even one of the main contributor Argo Tuulik, went bankrupt and had to do gofundme for legal expenses. The CEO of the studio ZA/UM successfully created a narrative infront of well known YouTube channels like People Make Games, (On a side note, I always felt that particular reporter was so bad at his job), that the original creators were problematic to work with. A main reason behind the comoany going down is a convicted scammer who is a friend of ZA/UM’s CEO. People who left the studio and tried to spin up successor peojects. I think there were three different projects announced as the successor. None materialized. Several other opportunists tried to exploit the people behind the original game.
The whole story can be made in to several seasons long TV Drama.
On a side note. There was Magic School Bus game like apps, which were brought to the public by none other than Microslop. What a time was that…
I’m confused. Why a licensing change is needed? In the particular example they changed to MIT. Is this considered as the first step for paid features and other stuff?
My confusion is regarding why a licensing change is done, not that whether it is valid or not, since it is LGPL it is not valid, and no doubt in that. But what is the intention behind this change is what I don’t understand. Can someone explain?
Great. This looks really good. Eyes and lips are amazing.
Just a suggestion, looks like the eyebrows can be improved. Also the freckles feeld kind of patches, and weirdly uniform. May be brush size variation will help with eyebrows?
Again I don’t mean to say negative things. I am just sharing what I felt.
As far as I knows, Linus dropped that asshole founder mode, and moved on. There was a write up by him, how the linux conference and his holiday plans got overlapped, which forced him to rethink a lot about himself. Great person.
Well then there is not even a single reason for switching from VS Code for a normal dev. When I tried it in Debian with a normal laptop, it continuously caused freezing, because it kinda throttled the integrated graphics.
I really wish there is an editor that support vscode’s devcontainer like containerisation, but open source. I really don’t like doing it manually. Too much effort for something that can be autonated.
If this is not satire, then I am concerned on the attempt to ‘humanize’ a prediction tool. The general tendency to portray LLMs as some super intelligence is utter bullshit, and just a marketing gimmick to prevent the bubble from collapsing.
Awww… It hurts when someone scraps their data, which in turn affect their revenue generation, isn’t it? Sad sad… I guess it also comes under the fair use.
So I haven’t felt the need to go with a tiling compositors. I already use multiple munitors, and kind of have designated spots for the apps I use.
I love stability and don’t want any surprises after Windows made enough surprises. So decided to go with Debian Trixie, and KDE.
But I use Arch in my spare laptop, btw. EndeavorOS where I experiment some stuff. Maybe down the line I will give hyprland a try on my spare first.
Yeah… It is the Windows that finally pushed me the fastest to install Linux. I was very comfortable with Debian servers as part of my work, but never managed to switch my daily driver. Two weeks ago that happened. Peace…
My mental model is slightly different. I think of average speed of the car between source and destination. Every segment of the road will have an average speed at a given time, which may vary depending on the time of the day. This average speed is dictated by numerous factors, including traffic lights, number of slow vehicles on the road, speed limits, etc. You cannot really go significantly higher than this average speed, even if you try as aggressively as possible.
There are exception, especially in Asian roads. If you are a large vehicle, who doesn’t care about the law and limits, and they do very aggressive driving, then they go at a larger average speed. I have some completely asshole private bus services in my country.
