The problem there isn't copyright. It's whoever is demanding students use the latest version.

Do you think these small authors have the resources to try to enforce copyright?

If it's easier to use than jq, they should sell the tool on that.

Yes, NixOS containers can be run in:

* declarative mode, where your guest config is defined within your host config, or

* imperative mode, where your guest NixOS config is defined in a separate file. You can choose to reuse config between host and guest config files, of course.

It sounds like you want imperative containers. Here's the docs: https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#sec-imperative-contai...

I'm less convinced.

To keep and/or increase my current compensation, I have to be competitive in the software development market.

(Whether I need AI to remain competitive is another matter.)

The 16,000 new babies will be competing in different markets.

Oh, and of those 16,000 babies, many are born in far less fortunate circumstances, they're already far behind their cohort. :/

Tech sentiment around 2022 was time was Zuckerberg was a good leader for actually setting a clear direction for his company.

I'm not sure what to conclude from this.

Man moth?

Try to imagine a deployment/CI system where that isn't possible. That's what the post is asking.

* Maybe you don't have privileges to delete the database

* Maybe your CI environments are actually high fidelity, and will fail when there is no DB

* Maybe destructive actions require further review

* Maybe your service isn't exposed to the public internet, and exposing to 0.0.0.0/0 isn't a problem.

* Maybe we engineer our systems to have trivial instant undo, and deleting a DB triggers an undo

Our tooling is kind of crappy. There's a lot we can do.

"- buggy Android compatibility and near zero native devs, all jumped ship"

I'm a bit confused by this. Are you saying that the developers who once wrote native Sailfish OS apps are no longer writing those native apps?

Is there any hope for using the responsive libadwaita programs from the Mobile Linux space? I realise this isn't particularly large, but it is active.

If the goal is less AI in militaries, how does having better open source models improve things?

No, he's advising us that we software developers might be coming to an end of a golden age, that if so, resistance is futile, and how to find another.

> There are “repairable” laptops, and then there are ThinkPad T-series laptops

By elevating ThinkPad T-series above other laptops by reputation, do iFixit weaken their notion of objective repairability ratings?

I'm surprised this thread is only on page 5, despite 65 pts and 66 comments in 3 hours.

What other factors go into listing position?

I feel gross thinking of it, but 200ms to decide a plan sounds not limiting. The act of enacting the decision could be done by local tracking compute.

It feels like a sleight of hand, either to not spook OpenAI employees (I.e. the audience of this post), or allow some later minor change in contract or interpretation or customer deployment posture to suddenly permit fully autonomous weapons.

> Fully autonomous weapons. The cloud deployment surface covered in our contract would not permit powering fully autonomous weapons, as this would require edge deployment.

Can anyone explain this constraint?

Why do fully autonomous weapons require edge deployment?

Does "fully autonomous" in this context mean "disconnected from the Internet"?

If so, can a drone with Internet connectivity use OpenAI?

Or maybe it's about on-premise requirements: the military doesn't want to depend on OpenAI's DCs for weaponry, and instead wants OpenAI in their own DCs for that?

Ah, what a world.

> like every popular crate buy into their marketing hype > follow community "best practices"

Yea, I get smug judgement from Rust zealots for not picking the in vogue crates.

I get a lot of help too though.

People are passionate about it. That has good and bad outcomes.

The article links to https://x.com/InvestWithD/status/2026381475776692426 which purportedly quotes a Jane Street insider that after pausing BTC activity, they expect BTC will go up.

I personally don't understand how any of this works.

Yes, and sometimes new terms are introduced. This is expected in a new field.

I think the thesis of Pi is that there isn't much special about agents.

Model + prompt + function calls.

There are many such wrappers, and they differ largely on UI deployment/integration. Harness feels like a decent term, though "coding harness" feels a bit vague.
