If executed well I think this could reduce a lot of friction in the process. I can definitely unlock my phone and hold it with one hand while I prepare and cook, but that's annoying. If my glasses could monitor progress and tell me what to do with what while I'm doing it, that's far more convenient. It's clearly not there yet, but in a few years I have no doubt it will be. And this is just the start. With the screens they'll be able to offer AR. Imagine working on electronics or a car and the instructions are overlaid on the screen while the AI is providing verbal instructions.

I think the idea that newspapers and TV were ever honest is an illusion. I remember my parents and grandparents ranting about the lies published by major newspapers in the 80s and 90s either on topics or people they knew. We tend to forget the bad things in distant past, particularly a past we haven’t lived through. I don’t think news sources are worse today. They were always bad.

Something drastic is going to happen in 5-10 years, either AI will be real AI, and will also replace senior engineers - or it won’t, and the pipeline of new senior engineers will dry up. It’s not going to be any one company’s fault either, why would one company decide to spend more money hiring an intern or other junior to do something that a gpt can do? But it is a tragedy of the commons, and it is tragic.

That's a 40x increase all at once with a very short grace period, it's bait-and-switch territory.

If only 2.5% of targets pay the ransom, Slack breaks even on this racket, so in absence of any protection this strategy is most likely profitable for Slack.

This is something you pull if you want to squeeze in the short term, and don't mind losing customers.

In my personal experience as someone who has spent the last 6 years of his career in the security industry, almost nobody actually uses CVSS the way it is intended, they just almost arbitrarily tweak the CVSS inputs to produce an output they like.

You are correct that the attack complexity probably shouldn't be high in this case. But presumably the person calculating the CVSS score thought it was too high if attack complexity wasn't set to high.

CVSS has other issues, like people trying to apply it to things that are not vulnerabilities. I would ignore most CVSS scores you see and just read what the issue is instead and make your own judgement call.

No, my comment relies on the premise that devices on the internet are targets for attacks and nearly impossible to secure. I maintain dozens of servers on the internet.

While this was measured in a slightly different implementation via Oblivious DNS[1]:

> The first thing that we can say with confidence is that the additional encryption is marginal. We know this because we randomly selected 10,000 domains from the Tranco million dataset and measured both encryption of the A record with a different public key, as well as its decryption. The additional cost between a proxied DoH query/response and its ODoH counterpart is consistently less than 1ms at the 99th percentile.

But they did disappear. Your disdain for unskilled cooking doesn’t offset the fact that it still became a family tradition.

The entire point of the article is that these aren’t just corporate trash products. They stick around long enough and they get woven into the culture.

Imagine if the recipe for spam changed and destroyed a bunch of Hawaiian dishes. I suspect you wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the importance it has in their communities.

From a political point of view, it may actually be beneficial for a policy to have no scientific basis. What happens when the science gets updated?

You either have to change the policy and admit you were "wrong" to an electorate who can't understand nuance, or continue with the policy and accept a few bad news days before the media cycle resets to something else.

Alternatively: do teach coding to kids (which includes logical reasoning and problem solving)

You don't want an entire generation of people who can barely operate the devices that enable and control a huge portion of their lives.

Kids will benefit immensely from being able to logically reason, and will be less afraid to repair or work around shoddy software, even if they never write another line of code in their lives.

Professional programmers dont fear kids taught to code any more than novellists fear kids taught literacy or accountants fear kids with numeracy. If anything, they know personally how important it is to learn these things.

Due to a typo, the title is confusing, at the first glance I thought that "Intel 280" might be some kind of Arrow Lake CPU (intermediate between Intel 275 and Intel 285), but the correct title should have said "Intel's 288-core processors", making clear that this is about the server CPUs with 288 E-cores, Sierra Forest and the future Clearwater Forest.

Was that Xenophon’s anabasis? I didn’t remember that part but I love the book.

Xenophon, like Plato, was a student of Socrates and wrote philosophical dialogues involving him. Unlike Plato, Xenophon became a mercenary soldier who led 10,000 Greek soldiers to fight their way out of Iraq. It’s very well written — hope they make a movie at some point.

Not just `about:config`, which is limited to non-release builds, but via enabling “Secret Settings” when you enable debug mode: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/mobile/android/fenix...

This allowed access from the standard settings page which you can see in this release, it’s the same setting just exposed instead of hidden.

I think Nimbus experiments also might have exposed the setting.

Hello, thanks for your comment but i don't think there's anything bad in frustration, anger and sometimes insults, i think emotional intelligence is a meaningfull addition to these kind of conversations, particularly when empathy and other natural human emotions have been demonized to this point. I also think that some angers and frustrations are perfectly healthy, i even think that in some cases it is not sane to not feel. Anyways thanks to those who don't downvote, seeya

Thanks for the upvotes! While testing and writing about the feature, I suspected it would receive mixed reactions.

The `?.` operator behaves similarly on the LHS to the RHS, making the language more consistent, which is always a good thing. In terms of readability, I would say that once you understand how the operator works (which is intuitive because the language already supports it on the RHS), it becomes more readable than wrapping conditionals in `if` statements.

There are downsides, such as the overuse I mentioned. But this is true for many other language features: it requires experience to know when to use a feature appropriately, rather than applying it everywhere.

However, the great thing about this particular enhancement is that it's mostly cosmetic. Nothing prevents teams from not adopting it; the old syntax still works and can be enforced. C# and .NET are incredibly versatile, which means code can look dramatically different depending on its context and domain. For some projects, this feature might not be needed at all. But many codebases do end up with various conditional assignments, and in those cases, this can be useful.

Listen, I'm an old fart who may have been messing around on IRC when you were just a twinkle in your parents' eyes. IRC does suck along a lot of important metrics. The GPL open-source community-developed project I worked on for 19 years moved from IRC to Matrix several years ago, and the payoff in terms of engagement was obvious immediately.

I agree that walled gardens are a trap. But you're not going to convince people to move to free solutions without being able to recognize clearly why they walled gardens are so attractive in the first place.

> Impressive that they managed to ship crippling stuttering for 4 years in gaming laptops specifically. Makes you wonder about the end user psychology, evidently they didn't get a show stopping rate of product returns

It's a gaming laptop. If you're playing any game released in the past 5 years, odds are you're getting constant stutters anyway due to Unreal Engine 5. And Windows 11 is a slow, bloated mess, too, so that covers stutters outside of games.

For most end users, and especially gamers, stuttering and overall bad performance is just the new normal that they've come to accept and even embrace. The recent success of Borderlands 4, a game that struggles to run smoothly on the best and most expensive hardware available today, is just the latest and best proof of this. If you complain about it, you'll be called poor for not owning a $3000 GPU and/or a luddite for not wanting to play at 720p 30fps AI-upscaled to 4K 300fps.

The internal deliberations of the Egyptian government at the time are all publicly known now. The Egyptian leadership feared that Israel was planning an attack on Syria, which is why they mobilized their own army. They had no intention of attacking Israel.

The Israelis had been planning their own attack on Egypt for years. Ben Gurion had aggressive, expansionist foreign policy views, which the crisis with Egypt allowed him to implement.

The Israeli public was afraid of Egypt, but the leadership was extremely confident that Israel had massive military superiority over the Egyptians and would rapidly win any war. That's also what American intelligence thought, and what they told the Israelis.

As for Egyptian public statements about Israel, remember the political context: Israel had been founded 19 years earlier through the mass theft of Palestinian land and the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Israel had carried out terrorist bombings in Cairo in the early 1950s in order to try to politically destabilize the country, and had invaded Egypt in 1956, as part of a conspiracy with Britain and France to take over the Suez Canal. The Egyptians had good reasons to view the Israelis as enemies and loudly complain, but we now know they had no intention of attacking.

In the real world there's at least three issues

1) workers are paid by the hour. If you only work them 4 hrs they make half as much. Their expenses don't decrease, they're pissed.

You could double their hourly wage so all gains from this efficiency go to labor. Wonderful! But then this leads to issue 2

2) a less altruistic competitor will copy your efficiency gain, and instead of distributing to labor with 2x wages, they'll cut the price since each pin costs less. Now customers will buy their pins, not yours. You go belly up and your leisure workers go from 4 hrs a day to 0.

3) let's say all companies are altruistic. Awesome everyone's making 2x per hour and working half as less. Let's say everyone takes up painting. Utopia! But then some workers decide instead of painting they get a second job. Now they're making more and have edge on critical resourcing like housing. The painting ones notice and say "hey! I can't afford a house anymore" and go take up a second job as well. Then we are back to where we started, working 40 hr weeks, just everything is 2x as expensive.

I don't know the solutions, i just think it's worth thinking thru real world implications of proposals outlined here. Its like a giant prisoner's dilemma - it only really seems to work if everyone cooperates and doesn't defect

Just my personal opinion (and there is of course no accounting for taste), but personally i consider libre/open office to have one of the worst UIs of any software i have ever used. (In fairness i haven't used it in a really long time, hence calling it "open"). I absolutely think usability issues are a major limiting factor for libreoffice.

- Month 2 (Mar 1933): Reichstag elections; Enabling Act passed; Dachau concentration camp opened

- Month 3 (Apr 1933): nationwide boycott of Jewish businesses; Civil Service Law purges Jews and political opponents from state jobs

- Month 4 (May 1933): independent trade unions seized and dissolved; replaced by the German Labour Front (DAF)

- Month 5 (Jun 1933): Social Democratic Party banned nationally

- Month 6 (Jul 1933): Law Against the Formation of New Parties makes Germany a one-party state

- Month 8 (Sep 1933): Reich Chamber of Culture law brings arts and press under Propaganda Ministry control

- Month 9 (Oct 1933): Editors’ Law (Schriftleitergesetz) excludes Jews from journalism and subjects editors to regime oversight

- Month 10 (Nov 1933): one-list Reichstag “election” and referendum held with opposition already illegal

- Month 12 (Jan 1934): Law on the Reconstruction of the Reich abolishes state parliaments and centralizes power

- Months 17–18 (Jun–Jul 1934): Night of the Long Knives purge eliminates SA leadership and other rivals

- Month 19 (Aug 1934): law merging President and Chancellor signed; Hindenburg dies; army swears personal oath to Hitler, Hitler becomes Führer

- Month 32 (Sep 1935): Nuremberg Laws strip Jews of citizenship and outlaw marriages/relations with “Aryans”

Well, we're now at the point where the car can drive on highways and in cities with and where a human dimension is extremely rare. So I mean, just – I was able to drive for several days, just dropping a navigation pin in random locations in the Greater Austin area with no interventions. And the same in San Francisco, which is a very difficult place to drive."

This type of contribution is so incredibly both tone deaf and unempathetic, I wonder if you understand even how incredibly selfish the attitude is? Especially in using the word “just”. “Just” do this incredibly complex switch, which is utterly unsuitable to your users and how they work together, and which doesn’t actually solve your problem at hand since the article is about something else.

You give zero thoughts as to how the people affected are actually using the tool, why they would be in need of real time communication rather than delayed clunky messages, or even who the actual audience is.

Even with the absolute best reading of intentions I can give to your comment, I can only imagine you wrote it to make some microsubset of people still using mailing lists feel better about their choice and validated in one of the ever rarer advantages there are to using email as primary communication.

Either that or you don’t actually know what Slack is. But then why comment?

This is completely unspoken by most of the youtube channels that are making videos about this. The reason they are worried is not because of the algorithm or vanity. Especially for channels like LTT it is economical. They get the vast majority of their money from getting a lot of views.

The interesting thing here is that since youtube did not change anything, it is actually adblockers successfully making sponsored content less viable. Something youtube has been trying to, at least on premium ([ytp]), where I get a little "Jump ahead" button on all platforms when sponcon is detected (in aggregate people skipping forward, it also does it for intros and similar).

I wonder if it will have a measurable impact on placement in the algorithm for channels like RLM that are seeing the drop. But rely on crowdfunding and youtube ads.

Sounds about right, sad to hear that it caused so much strife though.

Meanwhile, did a bit of a test drive in my org with Mattermost, devs were mostly okay with it, but it was decided from top down to go with Teams instead. Wonder how that will work out in the next decade.

> However, some people experience too much metacognition/reflection and that is actually correlated with depression/anxiety.

There's an uptake, that's missing from the article. You can, and you should, every now and then (every month? every week? every quarter? you pick) go back and review your entries.

Reviewing your past entries might actually help you get awareness about the excess of metacognition/reflection.

Not only that: reading old entries about stuff that give you anxiety but after the dust has settled, can help you see the distortion in your own thinking.

It's weird that reviewing isn't mentioned in that article.

How is this helpful for the non-profit?

And Kübler-Ross did not describe a linear progression of grief. It was meant to be enough of a framework to start conversations, to put experiences in perspective, to help reflect. And plenty of times, life still has to go on even with devastation -- no time to grieve and reflect until crises has passed.

The wording of the co-founder's comment and the post did not strike me as grief. They are calling out enshittification without trying to burn bridges and requesting help.

I'm glad I'm not alone with these feeling.

I was there when Macromedia took JS as their scripting language for animating GIFs. People soon started doing silly things and everyone realized it was not fit for the task. We had AS2 which added some syntactic sugar and was the exact same thing as early Typescript - an escape hatch that allowed you to use OOP while the resulting code was still just plain old JS.

But meanwhile Macromedia worked on a whole new thing called AS3. It was codified as ES4 and it's the reason why JS had all these "private", "abstract" keywords reserved.

Heck, we even had redtamarin for running AS as console! And there was Alchemy which is grandfather of WASM.

We were that close to having a compiled JS++.

But times were different, we were still in the middle of browser wars, and the standard was eventually scrapped because noone was interested in JS at the time.

And then Apple decided to kill Flash.

And for some reason the community decided to burn the library of Alexandria and spend the next 10 years on reinventing the wheel.

Sure, V8 is a world wonder, no question about it, the fact that JS can run that fast is just amazing. And people finally wrapped their head around TS and realized that types are useful. Wonderful. But I really think that we've lost 10 years running in circle and producing smart looking docs while tech is slowly getting back where it was 15 years ago.

Hetzner (outsourcing to Idenfy) dared to demand this of me, three years ago. I'm still mad about it.

> "When that data eventually leaks,"

Indeed, my understanding is these sensitive biometrics are generically (i) uploaded in full to a remote server, where they're (ii) retained for a nontrivial amount of time, because they need to be (iii) manually QA'd by humans. It's nothing like an iPhone's local-only biometrics enclave. My understanding's based on the specific case of Idenfy, and an ex-Idenfy HN'er explaining its workflow[0].

> Israel was created as a pretty bad solution to displaced Jews post-WWII

Though housing displaced Jews is undoubtedly a part of it, presenting that as the main or only reason for the existence of the state of Israel is quite disingenuous. Jerusalem had been Jewish majority for a century before the state of Israel was founded, decades before the British ever stepped foot in the Holy Land. Generally, when a state represents its inhabitants that is considered a proper functioning state.

We've been using Mattermost for so long I don't know what happened to Slack but the fact that they can't keep their customers is not really an issue as long as we have similar software available for a more just cost or self-hostable.

This type of app isn't supposed to hold data. At least in my opinion, Slack is more for instant messaging and e-mail for tracing.

> why would the overtones go in integer multiples (I.e. be harmonic) for a fan?

The fan noise is from its own vibrations -- presumably driven by the motor. These vibrations will correspond to natural vibrating modes on the body of the vibrating object -- which could be the motor, or the chassis, or even possibly the fan blades. Whatever the shape, the natural modes will be naturally quantized into "harmonics". Those vibrating modes could have more nuanced spatial forms (eg. Bessel functions) but their temporal pattern would likely be sinusoid.
