Obviously it’s a skill issue but don’t you ever make mistakes? If Rust prevents some bugs and makes you more productive, what is not to like? It’s a new language and takes time to learn but the benefits seem to outweigh the downsides now and certainly in the long run (compared to C at least).
Maybe Torvalds didn’t give in to public opinion but made an informed choice?
The crates are a bit of a problem and I think Rust is a bit overhyped for high-level problems (it still requires manual memory management after all) but those are not principal roadblockers, especially in the kernel.
You can understand it but you can’t interpret the value. How many movies is a CD? Or a DVD? Or a 1TB SSD? Or even Avatar in 3D (presumably not 1)? How many movies have even been released in total/last year?
The number awes non-tech savvy folk but it doesn’t really inform them of anything. You could just as well write “more movies than you will ever need”.
And besides that, I personally think that news should try to educate folk. I’m completely fine with a comparison in the article. But why in the headline?
There are quite a lot of AI-sceptics in this thread. If you compare the situation to 10 years ago, isn’t it insane how far we’ve come since then?
Image generation, video generation, self-driving cars (Level 4 so the driver doesn’t need to pay attention at all times), capable text comprehension and generation. Whether it is used for translation, help with writing reports or coding. And to top it all off, we have open source models that are at least in a similar ballpark as the closed ones and those models can be run on consumer hardware.
Obviously AI is not a solved problem yet and there are lots of shortcomings (especially with LLMs and logic where they completely fail for even simple problems) but the progress is astonishing.
Fair point. I personally think that AI lives up to enough parts of the hype so that there won’t be another AI winter but who knows. Some will obviously get disillusioned but not enough.
Also in Stockholm ist nicht alles perfekt aber du übertreibst schon etwas. Man beantragt keine Wohnung, man meldet sich bei Wartelisten für die komplette Stadt an. Und einen so extremen Mangel gibt es hier auch nicht, bspw. Studentenwohnungen mit geteilter Küche gibts gerade ausreichend in Stockholm (mit 1 Queuetag bekommt man ein Zimmer in manchen Wohnheimen, mit 90 in den meisten). Verglichen mit München ein Traum.
Ganz abgesehen davon finde ich Wartelisten als Konzept sehr gut (auch wenn es mich persönlich in Stockholm etwas benachteiligt). Die Frage ist wer bei einer Wohnungsknappheit eine Wohnung bekommen sollte. In Stockholm sind es die die schon lange in der Stadt wohnen (d.h. viele Wartetage haben) und nicht, wie in den meisten anderen Städten, die die am meisten Geld haben.
Die Apartheid bezieht sich auf Israel, nicht (Edit: nur) auf Gaza und die Westbank. Es gab auch damals Palästiner (bzw. Araber die wir heutzutage als Palästiner bezeichnen würden) in Israel. Siehe bspw. den Wikipediaartikel dazu:
“While most Arabs remaining in Israel were granted citizenship, they were subject to martial law in the early years of the state.[33][34] Zionism had given little serious thought as to how to integrate Arabs, and according to Ian Lustick subsequent policies were ‘implemented by a rigorous regime of military rule that dominated what remained of the Arab population in territory ruled by Israel, enabling the state to expropriate most Arab-owned land, severely limit its access to investment capital and employment opportunity, and eliminate virtually all opportunities to use citizenship as a vehicle for gaining political influence’.[35] Travel permits, curfews, administrative detentions, and expulsions were part of life until 1966.”
Ich verstehe nicht genau was du meinst. Der Begriff Apartheid bezieht sich darauf dass Palästinenser systematisch benachteiligt werden in Israel. Nicht nur in den Anfangsjahren, nicht nur am Ende. Die komplette Zeitspanne über.
Und ich weiß nicht genau wo du aus dem Wikipediaausschnitt “sehr gut integriert” herausliest? Oder meinst du dass Teile des/der Ausschnitt nicht stimmt?
Und nach 68 wurde es eigentlich nicht wirklich besser. Wenn du enteignet wirst um auf deinem Grund jüdische Israelis anzusiedeln klingt das nach Apartheid und nicht nur Problemen mit der Wohnungssuche. Um direkt aus dem Paper Südafrikas zu zitieren: “In 1967, Israel purportedly annexed occupied East Jerusalem to its territory, and in 1980, it incorporated a provision into its Basic Law claiming Jerusalem ‘united’ as the capital of Israel, a move censured by the United Nations Security Council as “null and void” and to “be rescinded forthwith”.133 Since 1967, Israel has constructed 279 ‘settlements’ for Israeli civilians across the West Bank — including 14 settlements in East Jerusalem — appropriating 750,000 dunums (185,329 acres) of Palestinian land.134 The United Nations Security Council has repeatedly declared that the establishment of such settlements by Israel has “no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the achievement of the two-State solution and a just, lasting and comprehensive peace”.135 Regardless, the number of Israeli settlers transferred into the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) has increased dramatically from an estimated 247,000 at the time of the Oslo Accords,136 to over 700,000 in 2023.137 The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (‘ICC’) has determined that there is “a reasonable basis to believe” that “members of the Israeli authorities have committed war crimes… in relation, inter alia, to the transfer of Israeli civilians into the West Bank.”
Nearly half of the air-to-ground munitions that Israel has used in Gaza in its war with Hamas since October 7 have been unguided, otherwise known as “dumb bombs,” according to a new US intelligence assessment.
Why do you think that? Dive bombing hits generally within a few meters, even during WW2 where it was used against tanks. Why would a guided rocket be that much better? Where would it get the target data from if it doesn’t have a human to guide it?
Obviously, there exist guided munitions with higher accuracy (<1m) but that’s not the majority.
I have installed Bitwarden through its AppImage, and added a .desktop file to run it easily (and also to use a themed icon). Unfortunately, each time an update comes out, I need to manually update the file since it points directly to the older version...
There is also AppImage Launcher which works nicely for me. It automatically integrates AppImages into the DE (e.g. search and start menu) and a few other nice things.
It does sound a bit weird. On the other hand, if he can influence the choices positively, he does have a point. If not him, someone else would take the job. I would have drawn the line somewhere else but I can understand where he is coming from.
And the fact that he resigned means that he has and likely had some moral compass guiding him.
Absolutely! Unfortunately, we are talking about the US. The article even says explicitly:
“Various U.S. presidents considered and approved billions of dollars in arms sales to controversial nations during his tenure — for instance, to Saudi Arabia in its ongoing war in Yemen.”
So it’s not the first time he’s about to make a very questionable choice. Though I guess he knows some details that blur the lines.
Da sind die Größenordnungen einfach so komplett anders dass das eigentlich nicht stimmt.
Kurz überschlagen gibt eine Kuh ~5000l Milch im Jahr für ungefähr 5 Jahre. D.h. 25000l Milch insgesamt. Eine Kuh gibt ca 200kg Fleisch.
D.h. wenn du mit “hin und wieder etwas Fleisch” etwa 100x weniger Gewicht meinst als jemand der jeden Tag Milch konsumiert dann funktioniert es. Ansonsten kostet Fleischkonsum deutlich mehr Kuhleben als Milchkonsum.
Ich geb zu, es ist alles nicht so leicht. Wenn jemand wirklich viel Milch konsumiert sind 5l am Tag (durch bspw. Käse) nicht unrealistisch (Durchschnitt ist aber bei ca. 50l im Jahr). Was dann 50g Fleisch am Tag entsprechen würde. Definitv genug für einen Veganer der ab und zu Fleisch isst.
Kuhleben war vlt das falsche Wort, ich meinte eher “Kuhleidensjahre”. Persönlich habe ich kein Problem mit der Schlachtung selbst. D.h. eigentlich hängt alles auch noch von der eigenen Moralvorstellung ab.
Milchkühe geben übrigens Fleisch von schlechterer Qualität. Und die Kälber werden für die Fleischproduktion Stand heute sowieso geboren (vermutlich? Weiß nicht genau ob Milchkühkälber dafür geeignet sind).
Vielleicht darf man eine Phrase hernehmen obwohl sie vor 80 Jahren vor Nazis hergenommen wurde? Wenige assoziieren “Jedem das seine” mit KZs und es ist einfach ein passender Spruch.
Seh wirklich nicht warum man eine auf ersten Blick unschuldige Phrase vermeiden soll. “Arbeit macht frei” ist da deutlich problematischer aber “Jedem das seine”?
Just so you know, not only them are reading your response. I appreciate your response.
And as someone that isn’t working in the field, I have to admit that it is very illogical that they would conduct gain-of-function research on coronaviruses in a country previously hit by a coronavirus outbreak while violating safety standards. Obviously that’s hindsight but shouldn’t this be very obviously a bad idea? It’s not like the existence of a virus like COVID-19/sarscov-2 was completely unexpected.
Consider another association with thirst: Desperation. In the mind of the author porn consumption is negative so anyone consuming porn is doing this out of desperation, despite knowing better. It essentially describes people being controlled by their base instincts. And thus this site is a trap, luring people against their will.
That is how I would interpret the word thirst in this context anyway. It’s not about a critical need, it’s about thirst being irrational and highly compulsive.
Sure, no worries! I haven’t been disappointed yet by responding to downvoted comments so I will keep doing it :)
Just another similar metaphor: Power hungry. Not the stove kind but the dictator kind. To be honest, there are quite a lot of body related metaphors, e.g. drowning in trouble, blinded by ambition. I guess it comes down to evoking some strong emotion.
Dear patient lemmings, I am in need of your help. I’m searching for games that have some GOD DAAMN OSTs and come with a great story or/and gameplay....
I can also recommend FTL, Risk of Rain and Risk of Rain 2. Really good OSTs, I’m listening to all of them regularly. They’ve also got great gameplay! But they’re rogue-likes so basically no story in case that bothers you.
Yeah, I think it’s also very impressive how they have different styles but are still very similar in some ways. Most noticeable with Arctic and Antarctic Oscillation.
And “The rain formerly known as purple”, “Coalescence” and “The raindrop that fell to the sky” are just soooo good. Could listen to them on repeat (and have done so (: )
The selling was planned a long time ago right? I think the main problem here is a CEO owning stock in the first place. If he owns stock he will obviously sell it when he no longer thinks it’s a good investment. And if it’s planned some time ahead it’s not exactly inside knowledge. At least I don’t think that this is a bad case of insider trading.
