Google Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL review: AI all over the place

Google’s new Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL feature excellent hardware and advanced AI features. The AI is still a mixed bag, but the Pixel series is better than ever.

Android FOSS developers, please check if any of your dependencies are downloaded from JCenter or repo.spring.io. Both of those have shut down, resulting in failing (reproducible) builds (though you may not notice if you still happen to have them cached locally).

Many have moved to maven central, where a newer version may be available. But many others have simply become unavailable.

If you are the upstream of such dependencies, please publish them to maven central.

„Im Westen war man eher auf das Propagandabild der gleichberechtigten Volksgenossin abonniert und sah #DDR-Frauen nur dann als Einzelne, wenn sie als Dissidentinnen oder Künstlerinnen dieses Image verletzt hatten. Damit beteiligte sich der westliche Blick unwissentlich an einer Auslöschung individueller Biografien, die die Kollektivhüter der DDR betrieben.“ Mein Gespräch mit Torsten Körner zu seinem Film „Die Unbeugsamen 2“ in neues deutschland: nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1184657.…

Developers, please stop embedding (build) timestamps in binaries (including Android APKs). They are one of the most common reasons for builds not being reproducible. If you really need a timestamp, please use e.g. the timestamp of the last commit, not the current time during the build.

Also no UUIDs or ELF build-ids please. And please be careful with listing files or embedding lists of any kind: reading from the filesystem and the iteration order of hash maps etc. are usually nondeterministic. Sorting helps here. A lot :)

Armin’s take on what happens if Astral turn out to be a bad steward of uv is interesting: “[…] having seen the code and what uv is doing, even in the worst possible future this is a very forkable and maintainable thing. I believe that even in case Astral shuts down or were to do something incredibly dodgy licensing wise, the community would be better off than before uv existed.”

I wrote down my thoughts on the latest release of uv and what it means for Rye and other tools in the space. In short: you all should be looking at uv and start to rally around it. https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2024/8/21/harvest-season/

Proč oprávněně? Máš nějaké info? Protože zatím jsem všude četl jen dojmy, žádné info o tom, kolik žádostí bylo podáno papírově po staru, kolik přes nový systém, kolik vyřízeno. Plus počty nahlášených chyb a jejich závažnost.

Co jsem četl, úřady převážně nestíhají, protože jsou zavaleny žádostmi co se vyřizují postaru, neb někdo strašil kolapsem a zároveň zvedl poplatky.

Roger Hallam is one of the founders of Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion, and a leader in the fight against global climate change. I would like you to read this statement he posted yesterday… 🧵1/4
_______________________

I've just been sentenced to 5 years in prison.

The longest ever for nonviolent action.

The 'crime'?

Giving a talk on civil disobedience as an effective, evidence-based method for stopping the elite from putting enough carbon in the atmosphere to send us to extinction.

I have given hundreds of similar speeches encouraging nonviolent action and have never been arrested for it. This time I was an advisor to the M25 motorway disruption, recommending the action to go ahead to wake up the British public to societal collapse.

I was not part of the planning or action itself.

In the trial, I swore before God to tell the truth. The truth is the science. The science is clear. We're heading for billions of deaths and ecological collapse. To prove this, I presented the jury with a 250-page dossier of leading scientists' research as evidence in my defence. This was denied by the judge as an invalid - climate science is now illegal in the British courtroom.

I then began to speak about the apocalyptic conditions humanity faces - floods, wildfires, mass heat deaths - and was silenced by the judge. He sent out the jury and threatened to arrest me if I didn't stop. Instead, I stayed in the dock and argued that until I was given the right to complete my defence – I would not move. Even the prosecution tried to argue in my defence and the judge let me continue.

When the jury had shuffled in again, I spoke about the legal concept of “equality of arms” – that as the prosecution had had a right to lay facts over a whole week, I also wanted an equal opportunity. I spoke of various cases where juries had acquitted defendants when they had heard the facts, such as the Extinction Rebellion cracking of Shell's windows in 2018 as a reasonable action against criminal destruction. The Dutch Supreme Court has even said that all governments have a legal obligation to prevent the emission of greenhouse gases. Whilst the prosecution accepted that emissions pose an existential threat, for the first time in British history no less, they still tried to convict us for public nuisance rather than praise us for trying to stop those emissions. Given the objectivity of existential threat, there were overwhelming grounds to be involved in a plan to cause some disruption to the M25.

In the British law on public nuisance, there is a ‘reasonable excuse’ clause. Science says there is an overwhelming threat to my life, my children, you and your children. To argue there is not a reasonable excuse directly defies the wish of this legislation. Things are happening that cause harm – people are engaged in physical acts to stop that harm – it doesn’t matter whether it’s a protest or not.

As I began to offer up some case law, the judge kept intervening telling me I was “wasting my time” and ordering the jury to disregard me. To illustrate that I was not talking about my motivations but speaking about real necessity, I referred to a famous case over a decision to operate on conjoined twins with the likelihood that one would die. In this dilemma, I quoted the 19th Century principle that the action was necessary if the threat faced was inevitable and irrevocable, that no more should be done than essential, and that it must be proportionate. I argued that there was a “duress of circumstances” including the objective danger I’ve experienced as a farmer unable to grow food, and the global significance of “food insecurity” – a euphemism for famine and starvation.

There has never been a moment in history where ‘necessity’ has been more supported by objective facts – more than 10,000 scientific and peer-reviewed papers, indicating an outcome of mass starvation and death from man-made climate collapse.

In response, Judge Hehir called for an early lunch and dismissed the jury. He turned to me and warned that I wasn't a lawyer and that “this is not the Roger Hallam show”.

He then gave me just 15 more minutes to put forward my “beliefs” - a totally fucking incoherent statement. This isn’t belief - it’s the objective threat of destruction of property and livelihoods of billions of people and the secondary effects of famine i.e. war, rape, and torture.
