I'm trying to find the charitable read on this and I'm unable to. He's saying that it would be great to allow Hindu ethnonationalist sources, because that would open up a talent pool of Hindo ethnonationalist editors? What kind of an argument is that?
If most malware repos are created in the last few days by a fresh user, then it sounds like GitHub is taking action against them? Or where are the old ones?
He said basically nothing on this topic in the interview. I guess he's trying to express that they are using open source blocklists in their test harnesses and they may or may not use them in release?
Nothing he said ruled this out, but I think it would be a stupid waste of resources and a slap in the face if they didn't work with gorhill on this.
My feeling is that the point of these consolidations is to centralise the ecosystem of their browser and open up revenue streams. The first does make sense from a user friendliness perspective, new users don't automatically know they should be using uBlock Origin and Mullvad VPN for the best experience. The latter is obviously questionable and undermines the whole ecosystem.
My most pessimistic prediction would be that they don't work with gorhill because he's committed to providing adblock for free, they waste a bunch of resources building an engine from scratch, then they charge a subscription for access to 'premium' up-to-date lists which are really just aggregated open source lists.
The reason all these meticulously designed flows have been done away with is because some manager believes that AI is omniscient and can just replace it all.
Like, flagging VPN endpoints is bread and butter for this kind of thing and must already exist. But it's been bypassed
I've never quite understood how unions in the US work or why they have the perception of them that they do. But rest assured, that is not what a union is elsewhere in the world.
Speaking of Porsche, they did once design a Star Wars ship and ended up with something super generic that looked like a free sci-fi model on sketchfab. Same as this car.
If you go to www.githubstatus.com, the downtime is not showing in the chart. I was annoyed enough yesterday when I visited this page to figure out why my Actions had failed and was greeted with big green ticks and only a tiny red rectangle halfway down the page to indicate the problem.
This time they've just scrubbed the evidence outright?
My parents took in a Ukrainian family as part of this scheme, and I knew many others who did. They all matched with each other through Facebook groups set up for this purpose. I don't know anyone who was matched automatically by the Palantir thing
In my experience, Linux support on Framework is worse than on a typical ThinkPad, and they don't have much interest in contributing to the ecosystem like System76 does. They still make good products, I'm just very unimpressed with the Linux marketing.
The copy also doesn't seem to be written by someone with a good command of English, even ChatGPT would do better
>technologists inside the systems that power American spaceflight, aeronautics, and scientific discovery. You work on real missions, alongside the teams building them, and your contributions move from concept to operation. For a few days, access is granted to this work. The number is extremely limited. The window only lasts four days. Will you answer the call?
Dead horse but I find it astonishing that people can still miss AI writing like this.
Don't you find it incredibly grating that every paragraph grinds to a halt while 3 sentence fragments are repeated? Same rhetorical devices. Same tone. Same pointless constructions.
That's not good writing. It's cheap parlour tricks.
The rhythm continues almost as though the writing is in verse—with the effect of hypnotizing the reader so they don't notice nothing is being said at all. The result? Skimmable prose. Digestible reading. Shareable content.
It's not just bad style. It's actually rotting your brain. And if you can't notice that, maybe you weren't reading at all.
This has always been a peeve of mine, but the lack of scale diagrams in coverage of this is maddening. We know what the Earth and the Moon look like, there is no need to make them 20 times bigger. Surely the point of these diagrams is to show the unbelievable scale of the journey. I'm yet to see one this news cycle, from NASA or anyone else
