Can you elaborate on SELinux? It affected me too but I just had to add :Z to my mount argument. Curious about whether there's further impact I'm unaware of.

I presume he's exhilarated that the government is taking the threat seriously and banning foreign nationals from accessing these super dangerous tools.

Congratulations, Dario!

You're also not paying to search on Google.

Did you read what you shared?

It’s talking about security cameras, low-bitrate video.

FTA: "Myth Busted: At security camera bitrates (400-800 Kbps), H.265 provides negligible compression benefits. The marketing claims of "50% savings" apply only to high-bitrate content like 4K movies at 25+ Mbps, not security cameras."

Still they are not notes, which means GP continues to be valid.

This is exactly what I meant. It's not the ability to build things; of course you can.

The progress has been in agreeing on a coherent interface everyone uses and which handles 99% of what most projects need with minimal friction.

That's a fair question. It's part ecosystem, part tooling. The ghcup, stack, cabal mishmash is closer to maven than a tool with a modern streamlined UI like cargo.

And yes, Haskell is significantly more expressive than Rust--at the cost of performance.

As someone who loves Haskell more than any other language, some challenges are

- the tooling is decades behind, say, Rust or Go

- finding the right library in looks very different in Haskell--you frequently start with the signature on Hoogle. Agents can learn this but it's not the same as "web search"

- creating the right solution also looks different. It's usually borne out of thinking about the types and coming up with the correct algebra. Again models can probably learn to create the right types and orient the solution around that, but it's not automatic

- same today as yesterday, laziness is a blessing and a curse. The runtime can do unpredictable things when you suddenly evaluate a deep thunk

- GHC directives effectively mean there are multiple "Haskells"

Some of those are a result of the "avoid success at all costs" mantra. You can't shake that off in a day. It will take a concerted effort to make it more amenable for seamless adoption.

Haskell continues to be my favorite language to write and read, but Rust is the more practical language with a rich type system. If you're looking for something approaching Haskell's expressiveness but with fewer of these issues, check out PureScript.

Every time I see a post about the TI calculators, I think about how much I dislike their interface, and it's all because I started out on a Casio.

It's usually a small amount of waste, and handling gas is very different from distillate.

You'd need to either liquify that gas or collect it to a pipeline in order to make it useful. I remember reading that modern refineries make use of the gases instead of flaring them though I'm not sure how.

If your mind goes to TLS when you read crypto, you surely do live under a rock ... in bliss.

That is understandable, but the issue is the sudden drop in quality and the silent surge in token usage.

It also seems like the warning should be in channel and not on X. If I wanted to find out how broken things are on X, I'd be a Grok user.

That's what I've done for years.

Long pressing is much more pleasant.

I wish Apple would give us a hint rather than requiring us to chance upon this recommendation on HN.

Well it's good to be honest, and so I commend you on that.

So the hierarchy is

- our kids

- "third-world orphans"

- other species

For what it's worth, I'm not denying the benefit we obtain by testing on animals, nor am I suggesting that we live surrounded by rodents that we know to be vectors for multiple diseases that would affect us.

The comment above was merely an observation on the value of life and how little attention we pay to it.

We subject sentient beings to untold amounts of horror every day, and we are completely destroying the balance of life on earth with a system that is entirely devoted to serving humans--individual humans, not humanity.

The statue is not the point. The point is what this little creature did and how we might learn to show mercy and respect to our fellow sentient beings.

These are the creatures we kill with poison and carry experiments on.

Rick Roderick on Habermas.

The series "Self Under Siege" is one of my favorite things on YouTube. Highly recommend watching all 8 in order.

That's the first thing that came to mind when I saw this website. The Bay Area is famous for its numerous superfund sites (among many other things, thankfully).

It's good to see just how far we can push the mods here until we finally face consequences!

Thank you for keeping this place healthy day after day after day.
