Yeah, just keep buying the poisonous breakfast serial. It's easy to pick out the brown bits of rat poison /s

> because otherwise, he sounds insufferable

Oh come on, I like syntax highlights, but this is not "insufferable". It's just opinions expressed strongly, with probably some tounge-in-cheek


He sounds insufferable because he's calling syntax highlighting childish. Not simply politely saying it's not his thing. It's like he can't understand why anyone else would use it, or isn't bothering to. Maybe there's more nuance to what he said, but it's not obvious from the quote.


"I prefer to code in black and white only"

"Everyone who uses syntax highlighting is a child"

I mean, maybe he was genuinely trying to make a joke, but I'm well past the point of assuming random strangers are joking when they're being offensively dumb.


I the short term. Who knows what the damage to the brand will cost them.


So it forces everyone to use more GitHub stuff?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but this means I now need to submit to GitHub Security Advisor to get my security fix out ASAP?


Nothing changed here and it seems reasonable to me.

If you want GitHub to tell people about your security fix, someone needs to tell GitHub about the fix first.

AFAIK they mostly pull from the normal sources like NVD automatically, but you can also submit to GitHub directly.


If I manage an open source program like this, my job is to write the code and docs, publish it somewhere and maybe make some changes to make it more portable. That's it!

It's the distro's job to package and integrate this software with the rest of the system, to make it easier for their users.

I have 1677 packages installed. I absolutely _do not_ want to go to 1677 places to install or look for the latest version.


Via a web browser? And the default password is ChangeMe ? :O


Caddy can also proxy to unix sockets !


The US and Israel never had the right to attack Iran in the first place


That's a non sequitur. What's your point?


It's not at all. Who is dictating who has what rights? Each side took action against the other's interests. Each claims the other is in the wrong.

Claiming that a country can't exercise military control over its territorial waters seems like a legal or political fiction to me. Granted they share part of the waterway with their neighbors but expecting a country at war to honor such things also seems like wild fantasy to me. They've been bombing those same neighbors.


You appear to be confused about maritime law. Iran hasn't ratified the UNCLOS or agreed to follow its terms so their territorial waters extend only 3 NM from their shores. Iran has been attacking neutral vessels well outside that limit.

Of course in the real world law takes a back seat to force.


Was the swipe suggesting that I'm confused (I'm not) really necessary?

> their territorial waters extend only 3 NM from their shores

Do you suppose their current government would agree with that statement? Personally I rather doubt they would.

But even if they did, as you say law often takes a back seat to force in these matters meaning that they could just as well say "yeah you're right but we're at war so get bent".


I think this could crash the stock market: Their TAM is now a small percentage of what it was, with all the second and third otder effects that follow from that


> it is unlikely that open source models' capability will ever surpass frontier models

Sure about that? Would you invest in products almost no-one can buy?

otoh, maybe China stop releasing their best models


Yes, that's what I meant. It's not that the Chinese will never be able to come up with models that superior --- it's simply that they will no longer have the incentive to open-source them once their models take the lead.

Training models are expensive. No one can do it for free for very long.


Maybe, or maybe they would take this opportunity to gain a lot of power and influence around the world.

Just because you're not paying per token or per month does not mean they are doing it for free.
