Title was truncated due to being too long. Original title: WATCH: 'You can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns,' Trump says of Alex Pretti killing
it takes about 2seconds to draw a weapon line up on target and shoot.
it also takes about 2seconds to move 20feet.
for these reasons a 20' radius is a "retention" zone. anyone closer than 20' has a large probability of successfully rushing you and engaging for physical control of the weapon.
watch what an LEO does when this zone is entered, it is a good indicator of the frame of mind, do they say "stop right there", or mantle thier weapon?
if you were to stop at 20' just because, you may be told to "cmon over here"
or LEO may become wary or softly hostile, as you may be aware of retention training as well, and intend to engage.
Never fear, the 2nd amendments days are numbered too. Trump just said 'You can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns' (the 'in' in this context being 'outside')
4b-model take. LLMs are far more intelligent than you give them credit for. Every new layer of abstraction allows us to develop software better and faster. People constantly ragged on OOP yet it is the foundation of modern computing. People while about "bloat" but continue to buy more RAM. Compilers are a black box and meaningfully inhibit your ability to write asm but these days nobody cares. I see LLMs as the next logical evolution in computing abstractions.

So Linux is now a first class citizen on both Windows and Mac? I guess it really is true that 'if you can't beat em, join em.' Jobs must be rolling in his grave.
C has a lot of ambiguity in how it is parsed ("undefined behavior") but people usually view that as a benefit because it allows compilers more freedom to dictate an implementation.
It's not the same. There is an explosion in expressiveness/ambiguity in the step from high-level programming languages to natural languages. This "explosion" doesn't exist in the steps between machine code and assembly, or assembly and a high-level programming language.
It is, for example, possible to formally verify or do 100% exhaustive testing as you go lower down the stack. I can't imagine this would be possible between NLs and PLs.
I don't really know how to feel about this. I've seen enough misconfigured Workday instances that result in most decent candidates never getting their resumes looked at because they didn't keyword-optimize enough, so it feels quite justifiable.
But for those businesses that actually review resumes, it's gotta be brutal.
Users think they want a lot of things they don't really need. Do we really want to hand users that loaded gun so that they can choose incorrectly where to fire?
For example, if I'm using KDE on a TV, which by the way I am (with Bazzite to be exact, works great) then I want to set the scale factor in KDE higher because I'm going to be standing further away. This is not optional; the UI is completely unreadable if you just let it use the physical dimensions to scale. There's nothing you can do. A preference is necessary to handle this case.
You could argue that this is a PEBKEC ignoring the fact that desktop environments care about this use case, but what you can't argue about is this: it's an accessibility issue. Having a magnifier tool is very important for people who have vision issues, but it is not enough. Users with vision problems need to be able to scale the UI. And yes, the UI, not text size. Changing the text size helps for text, but not for things like icons.
If you want to be able to sell Linux on devices in the EU, then having sufficient accessibility features is not optional.
I guess 'walk in' refers to being outside
