"Europe’s productivity problem is real. But the caricature of a continent collapsing under regulation is not. Much of the apparent US-European growth gap reflects population growth, purchasing power, working hours and the very different social bargain Europe has chosen to preserve. This suggests that Europe does not need to become the US to become more competitive"

Is Pavona the Missing Link Between Open Silicon and Real Products?

Alright fellow Seattleites, let's get a quiz going. Where is this?
@adron seem to be missing a photo or link here?
I suppose that I am also looking at this through the prism of my own work, and my own experiences.
To date, large companies have asked me more about environmental issues (how we will achieve net zero) than about use of AI. Perhaps that will change, but it is not something that I have seen so far.
Like you (I think?), I worked in-house for years, and my mentality is that of an in-house lawyer, focussing on providing pragmatic, commercially savvy, advice, reflecting cost and risk. Legal accuracy is a given, but a baseline. I've seen *loads* of AI-generated legalese, but nothing useful in terms of situation-specific, tailored solutions (for perhaps obvious reasons).
@neil yes I worked in house and am now back at a large Australian firm.
It’s really annoying when people say you should really try it yourself … but I do encourage you to ask one of the most recent models to add redlines to the next large legal word document you draft. Give it the source docs and ask it to fix errors and propose improvements to a document that you were about to send out.
Use a doc that you will publish if you are concerned about confidentiality, retaining privilege, etc.
@jbenjamint @jfparis thx!
Diffida da chi ti consiglia Brave Browser per la privacy
Negli ultimi anni, Brave Browser è diventato un punto di riferimento per chi cerca alternative più sicure a Chrome e Firefox. Promosso come il browser definitivo per la privacy, dotato di blocchi pubblicitari nativi e protezione avanzata...

@linuxeasy @informapirata @lealternative
@privacypratica continuerò a consigliare Brave (ma anche a usarlo sul telefono) perché è l'unico browser che riesce a essere usabile per il grande pubblico e che protegge di default contro il tracciamento pubblicitario.
Brave devi vederlo come un funnel: la camera di compensazione attraverso cui possono transitare grandi numeri di utenti interessati alla privacy abituati a Chrome per andare verso Firefox, LibreWolf o TOR

@jimfuller decades ago before I switched to politics, I used to write software as a consultant. It was quite profitable, but what really killed that type of work for me was the number of managers I met who said things like "Don't worry, be crappy".
Because they kept pushing people to rush things through, projects would have more bugs and maintenance would be much harder, but once people realised the consequences, the managers had already received their bonuses for fast delivery and had moved on.
@randahl yes - that is because those people are only interested in 'outcomes' ... they use throw away terms like 'automation' (and now agentic dev) - zero care in the process (journey) almost always ensures never getting to a good 'outcome' (destination).
"There are no more juniors. There was a funeral for their passing in 2024. Nobody came. The machine does what they do now, but cheaper. Of course, juniors weren't valuable for what they produced, they were valuable for who they would become: the senior engineer who knows where the bodies are buried. We optimized for output, and abolished apprenticeship. A few years from now, we'll wonder where all the seniors are. We shot them. Nobody will remember."
@tante I feel that story so very much. 😩
@SRAZKVT literally i'm so upset bc:
- making my writes visible to other processes should absolutely happen in an atomic transaction
- persisting my writes to disk is (1) a completely different fucking thing than IPC (2) should also happen atomically
@SRAZKVT literally nobody has ever asked filesystems to act like a lock-free OS-global hash table. that's a ConcurrentHashMap that's not a "filesystem"

I did an experiment
I set up an 'empty account' on Facebook of a guy called Dave.
I did nothing with this account, followed no one, and clicked on nothing
In the first week, the TL was a few Ricky Gervais jokes and similar lightweight fluff
Then it moved to 'traditional British humour: only fools and horses, porridge as well as references to when Britain used to be great
Then, it was jokes about Muslim ladies
Ultimately, after four weeks, my TL had Reform adverts every six or seven posts and racist indoctrination every 20 or so.
My point is that the battleground is on social media because you just knew Reform were actively seeding other FB streams

@SRAZKVT omg ugh NOBODY ever tries the literal only thing i want for perf optimization https://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/4th_edition/papers/fs/
The file system server processes prevent deadlock in the buffers by always locking parent and child directory entries in that order. Since the entire directory structure is a hierarchy, this makes the locking well-ordered, preventing deadlock. The major problem in the locking strategy is that locks are at a block level and there are many directory entries in a single block. There are unnecessary lock conflicts in the directory blocks. When one of these directory blocks is tied up accessing the very slow WORM, then all I/O to dozens of unrelated directories is blocked.

I cannot, for the life of me, understand why @Vivaldi would decide in its new release that its users want the default theme to make tabs blend into the background like this.
This is not beautiful, it's annoying.
When there's a region of the screen I need to be able to click on, I need to be able to see its borders, for fuck's sake.
#Vivaldi
Thanks for the feedback. I've forwarded it to the design team and they will be looking into it.
For now, you could choose a darker background image/color to make the background tabs more visible.
