The truth is that it really doesn't matter that much.

Use the language that you like (enjoy your favorites!) and that binds well with other tools you're using. I'm currently working on a project that's all C++ (wxWidgets frontend, plus C++ backend). I've used LLM tools with it, no issues. Would be the same with any other language, from what I can tell. I have another project in Go I'll probably try it on at some point soon.

I think it depends which LLM tool you're using. If you're using an older, worse model (the kind that you can use for free), the experience is significantly more frustrating. On the other hand, I'd say that the current best models are very useful with a skilled operator.

You're exactly right. nrc100's comment is meant to have you ask yourself a loaded question.

The implication of "don't fool yourself" is that future software of this kind, in all likelihood, will constitute a thinking, feeling mind. Moreover, there is a weaker implication that the computer will have a sort of inherent moral worth — an assumption that I think ultimately rests on an extremely shaky foundation about how moral worth should be construed (but one which tends to appeal to the biases of technologists).

I'll have to write something about this, because I don't have the time and space to get into why exactly this is, but I'm bookmarking this now.

I've gotten mmWave on Verizon in certain spots in Midtown Manhattan. But it doesn't really give me a lot of practical benefits over non-mmWave 5G.

In general, putting aside the bandwidth/crowding concerns (which are real, of course), I don't find 5G that much of a step above LTE - it's nothing compared to the jump from 3G to LTE. LTE changed how I used my phone in a big way (e.g., I could now watch video or download something on my phone practically). LTE got pretty fast over time anyway.

It's not surprising, though, since the ECJ held in the Infopaq case that copyright (under the EU Directives) can only exist for something which is the intellectual creation of an author.

Nope

You can always reboot to recovery and install an update that way.

They aren't the same thing. Under US law pre-1989, publication without notice would lead to a loss of copyright, but publication WITH a copyright notice, that is, publication of a copyrighted item, meant all rights were reserved (unless licensed).

There are different levels to these things. The number of SIM card slots or bands varying from model to model isn't that unusual. The average user just needs it to work. In fact, the SIM and band configuration differences have nothing to do with regional legal mimina — they have more to do with the standard practice and available systems in each region (for example, mmWave isn't widely deployed outside the US). The configurations aren't really "worse" in the same way as locking down browser access is worse. Phones have had regional variants going back ~forever for pretty mundane and benign reasons.

More importantly, if a user travels from one region to another, as long as they can use their phone in the place they arrive, having slightly non-optimal bands or a different SIM configuration doesn't matter. The fact that your phone is slightly different from the local model is not really a problem.

But having your charger vary across regions? That's a recipe for disaster. Not only is that another level of variance in your external casing, it impacts day-to-day use. When an American user travels to, say, France, or vice versa, and wants to buy a charger, or share one with someone else, having the same model of iPhone be incompatible would be a major frustration. It would be stupid to engineer a lightning AND USB-C version of the same device for each market.

UTM already runs on iPad OS.

Any license that discriminates based on use case would not qualify as open source under the Open Source Initiative definition, nor as free software under the FSF definition. You also shouldn't expect for your project/code to be reused by or incorporated into any free or open-source projects, since your license would be incompatible.

You can release software under whatever license you want, though whether any restriction would be legally enforceable is another matter.

Where did he say that?

My old school district moved from a localized URL of this kind to a .org a number of years ago (in the early 2010s). It seems to just have become the style, but I never really got it. I'm sure there was a significant cost to migrating what was a perfectly working setup to a whole new domain for website and email!

That's the key word.
