> For some reason the very concept of extended families and community engenders deep anger and hostility from some Americans

I think because excessive individualism plays into the hands of large companies. There is an individualist culture that has naturally grown over time in the US, but it has also been pushed by big corporations because if you can't depend on your neighbors and extended family, you need to spend money to fill the gaps.


I dunno, if you think about it for more than a few seconds you can see the obvious holes in it, like it's definitely true that some bugs are "may allow RCE", but you also can do a LOT better than not even trying. And even if you do say "we're not putting the effort in to backport security fixes" (which is fine), that doesn't entail "security bugs are just bugs".

These are smart people. If it wasn't about their own project I really think they'd have a different point of view. I wonder what they say about Microsoft's security bugs for example!


Surprised to see raspberry pi for hosting data that's supposed to be integral to a workflow. I've been burned too many times by SD card corruption in the past. Do you use NVME drives nowadays, just curious.

Emacs+Geiser, which does the same with Slime against Common Lisp languages.

The article has a link to the poem under the text [Caedmon’s Hymn] (unsurprisingly).

Honestly, something like Radical seems a lot more seamless and complete. Or at the very least, I'm wary of Tangled's alpha tag.

AGI is a specific brand of Arm processors.

The meaning behind the acronym is so wrong that I already forgot what it stands for. This is aggravated by the fact that every single marketing page of this Arm brand refuses to mention what the acronym stands for.

Thanks to being at the forefront of AGI, Arm has had a spark of genius. The G in AGI stands for AI.

Of course the A is obviously Agentic and the I is Infrastructure.


Did you read the words you posted?

> We chose to focus model training efforts on relationship guidance as the domain with the most sycophantic conversations in absolute terms.

There are more people asking for relationship guidance. Apparently a lot more since, even with significantly lower occurrence rate, the absolute number of conversations is higher.


It's a shame though that if you come from the world of OCaml, F# feels like its stuck in C#'s shadow a bit. You can get pretty far with F# by using it as a functional language, but eventually you'll want to interop with the rest of the .NET ecosystem and suddenly you're writing in a weird OOP/Functional hybrid style.

As much as I like linux, this is stupid.


A remote execution cluster and CAS for build artifacts is a good way to avoid duplicate work on local vs CI, and avoid the problem of needing to trust local builds.

you go and look in etc services for what is bound to port 5009. the article might not be the most useful but these comments are completely off the mark and stupid.

I don't think paying whole thing back has been on table for decent while. The question really comes down to is the return from interest sufficient compared to other options, will the price of underlying asset keeps it value at par. Meaning can you offload it before maturation and not lose. And finally will at maturation refinance be possible.

With money printing or some FED operations I doubt there will be default on principals. It might happen if sufficient political pressure is in place though unlikely. So in the end risk is spiking rates and inflation being foreseen. No point investing on losing bet.


As someone with native command over Hindi and, unless it's spoken by folks from certain UK countries, English, who also spoke and read Sanskrit quite well during school, I had a period of a few months when I went down the rabbit-hole of wonderful general linguistic history and the interrelation among them. I was shocked beyond imagination to see how we might actually have been more the same than different, if we go back far enough (not even prehistoric 'far enough') in each case (even the languages which are geographically distant currently). But then, of course, civilisation happened.

I presume you mean how you can upload CSV or XLSX spreadsheets but not view them? It does seem an oversight they do not have conversion on the website or the ability to import into a spreadsheet. More interesting is how Pages gives a nice red exclamation saying not a supported file while Numbers gaslights you letting you share something you can’t use.


Going on your Slavic username: as an American who moved to a country without forced-air HVAC, it’s been quite a revelation to discover how backwards forced air really is.

> criminal penalties

Mostly cover citizens within a very limited set of jurisdictions.

Otherwise there's a chance at extradition.


Solar and wind cannot do that. We'll need oil and gas to tide us over for that decade or more.

I've seen [alleged] homeless people post on here before. Do you really need more than an interest in tech (and an internet connection) to read/post here?

    Stuff happens in the wrong order. You know the PR. Commit 1: 'Feature.' Commit 2: 'fix.' Commit 3: 'fix.' Commit 4: 'actually fix.' Commit 5: 'please.' Commit 6, made at 11:47 PM on a Thursday: 'asdfasdf'. This person has a family. This person has hobbies. This person is, at this moment, crying. You don't want the feedback loop after the commit you want it before. Let me do an enforced pre-commit hook to run the jobs remotely on the forge and provide the feedback to the user before they push.

Isn't this already totally possible? Or am I thinking subversion?

You can definitely get stable 1gig throughput through WiFi. Doesn’t even need WiFi 7/6E - possible on 6. Ran a WiFi bridge like that for years and - no packet loss, consistent gig through and maybe +1ms latency

The gotcha is both ends needs to be good radios. So a router to router bridge tends to work better than router to end user device. Also had near LoS which presumably helped a ton


Oh, what? Is "eci" (eternal?) the origin of "Ecki Thump" - Yorkshire version of OMG?

This concerns Widerrufsrecht, i.e. the right to cancel an order or contract shortly after signing it. For certain services you also waive this when you get to use it immediately (cellphone service, for example), and for custom-made items it also does not apply, as in this case.

This is independent of warranty (which is something the manufacturer may or may not offer), or Gewährleistung (which concerns the vendor and is typically the easiest way of dealing with damaged or defective goods).


This looks great. The demo is very fast. Is it static generated or is it reading the sql db?

You can get an identical field of view with a 30mm lens on that setup.

> Well Y Does Some Of That

yes but tangled.org really does do most of that!

1. JJ as the VCS: tangled supports stacked PRs using jj change-ids. https://blog.tangled.org/stacking , we use it a lot to build tangled itself: https://tangled.org/tangled.org/core/pulls

2. Raspberry pi as a forge for a long time: also check, the git server shim is super lightweight, its just an XRPC layer over git repositories + an sqlite3 database. there are folks running it on a riscv board with 512 megs of RAM.

3. Actions are critical and they should be runnable on my local machine: IMO this ask is slightly misplaced. it is mostly your build-systems' job to be hermetic, run anywhere, handle cross-builds etc. it would be really cool to "promote" results of such builds to the forge itself.


The alternative to GitHub is already here. It is called self-hosting and there are many alternatives.

The Linux kernel is not hosted on GitHub and uses cgit. Others use GitLab, or Gitea and there is also Forgejo (Which Codeberg uses) that people are using and can be self hosted.

This is why now everyone is realising why "centralising everything to GitHub" [0] was a terrible idea and now GitHub has been (unsurprisingly) run into the ground.

I recognise myself in this post without having realised it previously.

The PR review process is flawed, it adds something, but maybe not what it intends.
