I love the cyberpunk future where even courts are privatized.

/usr was introduced because the original UNIX machine ran out of storage space and they had to mount a second drive.

If you’re running batch files from your Rust code, you should rethink your architecture.

So they have a final solution for the Palestine question?

No single country on Earth is doing enough.

The climate has centuries of lag, so even if we stopped all emissions right now, it’d get hotter for longer than all current people will be alive.

They’re not really there to negotiate. I think that plan flew out of the window when they realized that Israel doesn’t care about the hostages.

The breadbasket of Eastern Europe.

Social brownie points, it enables them to look good in their friend circle by bragging about having been to countries like these.

They could learn a bit from the Austrian far-right. They simply weren’t investigated due to a technicality, and then successfully sued a bunch of people who claimed that they had received money from Russia, because those people couldn’t prove anything without the investigation.

Gaza: Israeli Strike Killing 106 Civilians an Apparent War Crime (www.hrw.org)

Between January and March 2024, Human Rights Watch spoke by phone with 16 people about the October 31 attack on the residential Engineers’ Building, and the death of their relatives and others. Human Rights Watch analyzed satellite imagery, 35 photographs, and 45 videos of the attack’s aftermath, as well as other relevant...

Throw it into Israel’s pile over there.

Former supreme court judges say UK arming Israel breaches international law (www.theguardian.com)

Three former supreme court justices, including the court’s former president Lady Hale, are among more than 600 lawyers, academics and retired senior judges warning that the UK government is breaching international law by continuing to arm Israel....

anlumo ,

It always stuck me as rather odd that Western countries give money to both parties in the conflict. This is like arms dealers selling weapons to both sides, but in reverse.

anlumo ,

The odd part is that it’s in reverse. They’re not getting money from both sides, they’re giving it to both.

anlumo ,

Yes, but that only explains one side, since they’re delivering aid to the people in Gaza, not weapons. I don’t think that the food industry is strong enough for that.

anlumo ,

but will also work with a Phillips screwdriver

Only if you hate the screw and never want to see it in its full glory again.

anlumo ,

I’ve seen them used in power supplies that are not supposed to be user-servicable.

anlumo ,

I don’t want to know what it does to a society when casually sniping 4 year olds is completely ok and accepted. After Gaza is razed, all of these soldiers will return as heroes, but will they be able to stop their habits?

What You Should Know About “Toddler Milk” and How It’s Marketed to Parents (www.propublica.org)

If you’re a parent, you might have noticed toddler “milk” while browsing the formula aisle. The powdered drink, aimed at children between 1 and 3, often pledges benefits like “improved brain development” or “improved immune function.”...

anlumo ,

People can just choose not to buy food that’s mislabeled. Isn’t that how it works in the US?

anlumo ,

Nope, that’s not the idea behind that approach. This is just about industry profits.

anlumo ,

It’s pretty amazing how this works in the US. As long as it’s labeled as a supplement, companies can put literal rat poison into their products and it’s legal.

Additionally, it appears that many people aren’t even aware of that.

Gaza: Shifa Medical Complex witnesses one of the largest massacres in Palestinian history (euromedmonitor.org)

The Israeli army carried out a massive, shockingly horrific military operation in Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City over the course of the past two weeks, indiscriminately targeting and attacking Palestinians regardless of their civilian status, professional standing, gender, age, or health condition....

anlumo ,

Not sure to whom this is shocking. Wiping out an area to resettle it later on necessitates actions like this.

anlumo ,

Texas secession when?

The pangolin transmission is still just a theory based on the fact that you’d have to eat way too much bat to infect yourself based on that.

The only certainty is that it was once transmitted by bats.

US pushes alternatives to Rafah invasion in Hamas war talks with Israel (apnews.com)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Top American and Israeli officials held virtual talks Monday as the U.S. pushed alternatives to the ground assault against Hamas under consideration by Israelis in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, a move the U.S. opposes on humanitarian grounds and that has frayed relations between the two allies....

anlumo ,

Biden has already pledged full unconditional support to Israel, I don’t know why they’re even talking. Israel can (and probably will) just ignore the advise and go in for the kill.

anlumo ,

It’s a matter of learning how to prompt it properly. It’s not a human and thus needs a different kind of instructions.

anlumo ,

Hey since you’re here, there’s something I was wondering about that these articles don’t go over: what happens now while the bridge is rebuilt? Is there another one nearby that traffic is redirected to, or is there a ferry service now?

anlumo ,

Damn, I installed mine disrespectful.

anlumo ,

I’ve watched a rundown of what the backdoor does. It’s impossible that this was an accident. It hides a compiled library in test data and injects that into the ssh binary to override code there.

anlumo ,

They’d be very stupid to not veto an investigation into themselves.

anlumo ,

The problem is that other companies can offer support as well, and they can do it for cheaper because they don’t have to finance development with that.

anlumo ,

I just want an LLM with a reasonable context window so we can actually write real working packages with it.

The demos look great, but it’s always just around 100 lines of code, which is beginner level. The only use case right now is fake packages.

anlumo ,

I’m using Codeium for that. Works pretty well as a glorified autocomplete, but not much more. Certainly saves a lot of typing though, but I have to double-check everything it produces, because sometimes it adds subtle errors.

anlumo ,

In my experience with Codeium, it sometimes works ok for three or four lines of code at once. I’ve actually had a few surprises where it nailed what I was going for where I didn’t expect it. But most of the time, it’s just duplicating code from elsewhere in the same file, which usually doesn’t make sense.

It’s also pretty good for stuff where I’d usually build some exotic regex to search/replace (or do it manually, because it’d take longer to come up with the expression), like transforming an enum into a switch construct for its members, or mapping said enum to a string of the member’s name.

This is very far from taking over my job, though. I’d love to be more of a conductor than the guy playing all instruments in the orchestra at once.

anlumo ,

Sometimes those things are way more complex, for example when it’s about matching over a string rather than an enum to convert it into an enum. Typing out a regex would take me maybe 10mins or more, and with the LLM I can just describe roughly what I want (since it knows the language, I don’t have to explain it in detail, just something like “make this into a switch statement” is sufficient usually).

10mins at a time really adds up over a full work day.

Why Russia’s Vast Security Services Fell Short on Deadly Attack (www.nytimes.com)

American intelligence had been tracking the group closely and believed the threat credible. Within days, however, President Vladimir V. Putin was disparaging the warnings, calling them “outright blackmail” and attempts to “intimidate and destabilize our society.”...

anlumo ,

Israel likely intentionally allowed the attack to happen, since it gave them a pretext to invade Palestine. It worked perfectly.

anlumo ,

Only if you agree to giving your first-born child to Apple.

anlumo ,

Ultimately, the left with its social programs and programs to close the wealth gap is a far bigger threat to hypercapitalism than the far right ever could be, so he just chose to fight the important battles first.

anlumo ,

Windows runs on ARM just fine, it’s the legacy apps that are holding the industry back. Just like some institutions are still running AS/400 machines because nobody can port the programs they’re using.

Senior doctors in South Korea submit resignations, deepening dispute over medical school plan (apnews.com)

Senior doctors at major hospitals in South Korea began submitting their resignations en masse Monday in support of medical interns and residents who have been on a strike for five weeks over the government’s push to sharply increase medical school admissions....

anlumo ,

To everybody new to this topic, the doctors aren’t the good guys in this battle. They want to keep their wages up by limiting competition, while the country is suffering under a severe supply shortage already.

anlumo ,

That’s why South Korea is trying to fix the problem and is getting blocked by the doctors.

anlumo ,

The governments all around the world are probably in favor of it, because their big “donors” want it and it lowers costs for the judicial system for them. It’s a win-win from their perspective.

anlumo ,

Thus a World War.

anlumo ,

It would also be very stupid for Russia to attack Ukraine, but here we are…

anlumo ,

Well, you found this political post and commented on it.

anlumo ,

Yeah, I really hated the new Star Wars trilogy, and so watched a few reviews of them. This caused YouTube to recommend me more and more nuttier right-wing videos, because many negative reviews of those movies were done by right wingers (like Geeks & Gamers and Nerdrotic) that followed these up by more and more “woke”-critical videos over time.

It took years to retrain the algorithm that I’m not a right-wing nutjob.

General Motors Quits Sharing Driving Behavior With Data Brokers After Backlash (www.nytimes.com)

The decision followed a New York Times report this month that G.M. had, for years, been sharing data about drivers’ mileage, braking, acceleration and speed with the insurance industry. The drivers were enrolled — some unknowingly, they said — in OnStar Smart Driver, a feature in G.M.’s internet-connected cars that...

ActivisionBlizzard just changed the terms of games I bought nearly three decades ago…

Everybody who starts building guillotines gets arrested rather quickly to not disturb the current regime.

It was rather disingenuous in the US to make a system that can only sustain two parties while making the two parties exactly the same economically, while keeping the plebs busy fighting over social differences promoted by the parties (like abortion rights etc). This way there is a too large gap in the population for any kind of significant joined uprising.

anlumo ,

Hard to do when there are no alternatives, because everyone in the market is selling the data.
