That would just spread the corruption around along with the rewards as things which make them more money reward them and things which make less effectively punish them. Not too much of a difference quantitatively for workers (job security is negatively impacted by the company doing poorly). That would mean that the government is basically 'bribing itself' whenever it does anything that is aligned with the company. That is the opposite of what you would want.

Social needs is a nebulous enough term that it outright scares me imagining what twisted definitions of it would arise naturally from sincere attempts to promote it, let alone cynical abuses. Imagine a religious fundamentalist defining 'social needs'. Horrors like 'we should work to keep kids in the closet for social cohesion' and honestly thinking that it is the right thing to do.

Yeah; I wish provenance was more widely used. I think about this a lot for mobile apps. If you take an opensource iOS app like signal, you can read the source code on github. But there's actually no guarantee that the code on github corresponds in any way to the app I download from the app store.

With nodejs packages, I can open up node_modules and read the code. But packages get a chance to run arbitrary code on your computer after installation. By the time you can read the source code, it may be too late.

You’re much better off selling shirts. The markup on custom printed fabrics isn’t great, and there are plenty of professional fabric pattern designers out there which companies that commission fabric hire as-needed.

Honestly though, unless you’re pretty much only selling in person or too small to notice, someone is probably just going to rip you off using AI and sell shitty knockoffs on Etsy

I did a CRTL+F for "Jamf" in this thread and didn't see it mentioned, but I would say if you're going through the effort of Apple Configurator then it makes sense to go the next mile and get some kind of MDM software that will make future updates and policies easier to apply.

As a bonus, if you're a parent and have kids it'll be very useful for them.

Good video, however on the other hand, super accuracy isn't needed for the vast majority of NES ROMs, and for the ones that do require it, they could have done some special-casing or game-specific stuff to make it work. The author should check any VC packages for NES games that are notoriously hard to emulate. Running SMB1 accurately isn't exactly the gold standard for true emulation accuracy.

Sure, the reason is that they want to do something that is "the same" as what they've done in the past, so that previous research will remain as valid as they hope it is.

My mother is an obstetrician, and something that has always bothered her is that American hospitals have women lie on their backs to give birth. This is not a natural position, it's not comfortable for the women, and it can make it more difficult to get the baby out.

So why do we do it?

The answer is that, a long time ago, doctors who assumed that that was the correct way to give birth developed a set of standard measurements that determine what doctors today think of how far into the labor process a woman is. These measurements are only valid for a woman lying on her back - they will change if she shifts positions. They would have to be redone and revalidated for a woman in a natural delivery position. And nobody wants to do that.

The SAT correlates as well with any given IQ test as other, "official" IQ tests do. It is an IQ test. It serves all of the purposes that IQ tests serve, and it cannot serve any purpose that they can't.

It is more accurate than some very standard "accepted IQ tests" such as Draw-a-Man. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draw-a-Person_test )

But it's important to some people not to call it an IQ test. Try not to be one of those people.

Nintendo is the Apple of gaming. They want top-down control. This is evident over the years from how they've treated everyone from Tengen (who admittedly did cross the line in gaining access to 10NES), to UltraHLE, to yuzu. They want control, and they have a huge war chest to spend on that.

I'm waiting for someone to make some tools/hardware for copying Nintendo games that also keep themselves completely clean legally. AFAIK, both the yuzu and the MIG Switch people were kinda shady and didn't stay fully legally above board. Many of the publicized court cases where Nintendo went after mod purveyors, it turned out they were also dealing in pirated software. Where is our savior, who rejects any pirated software or illegal ROMs but still makes the emulator or "modchip" work

For the sake of argument, why should I be more afraid of phoning home to China (a country I will probably never go to) than phoning home to the US or Canada?

If I'm making an inappropriate joke to my wife while we drive, I'd prefer the former than the later.

(Obviously, much like you I assume, I'd rather have no internet connection)

There's many red herrings in that table (namely: old DDR4 consumer platforms, server platforms, low bandwidth DDR5 sticks), but surfacing the two relevant numbers (DDR5-6400 consumer heads-up comparison):

> AMD 7900X - 68.9 GB/sec

> Intel 13900K - 93.4 GB/sec

That's 35% better.

That's not something that needs to be measured externally.

Also, one wonders just how horrible their production tolerances must be if something like this even needs that sort of calibration in the first place. No other company does this. Nonetheless, even if one accepts this bizarre excuse at face value, it doesn't take a genius to realise that the firmware can "self-calibrate" trivially: If the EEPROM in the sensor is uninitialised, then it just needs to record the max/min value the first time it's closed, and save that as the "lid closed" point.

The only plausible explanation for doing all this extra work is that this isn't merely incompetence; it's intentional malice. Given how much Apple spends on lobbying and other hostile activities, this is not surprising.

If I was going to buy art as an investment I would only buy the absolute best - old master, Picasso, ancient artifacts with absolutely no question to their authenticity or provenance that would restrict its resale.

Collectibles are very tricky. You want to buy something that isn't a fad. Like a movie prop, you'd want to buy the 100% most legendary movie that is timeless, like something from Casablanca, that has been appreciated decade-after-decade as worthwhile and valuable across many generations and fads. I wouldn't buy an expensive sports or trading card. Something related to Western culture is much safer, like the Magna Carta, or a founding US-related historical document. It's very hard to predict what will remain valuable decades or centuries out, so if something is still valuable now after centuries, it is likely to remain valuable

When an LLM is “reading” input, it’s actually running the same computation it uses when “writing” output. In other words, reading and writing are the same event. The model is always predicting tokens, whether they came from the user or itself.

When a prompt ends and the response begins, the LLM has to model not only the user, but the answerer (its "self"). That “answerer model” is always conditioned by the model of the user it just built. That means the LLM builds an internal state even while processing a prompt, and that state is what guides its eventual output- a kind of “interiority.”

The claim is that this answerer-model is the interiority we’re talking about when we ask if LLMs have anything like consciousness. Not the weights, not the parameters, but the structural-functional organization of this emergent answerer.

My brother is an up and coming artist in his field and has had many pieces bought by a billionaire that collects art extensively and has an amazing world-renowned collection. The billionaire has stopped buying art this year. Not just from my brother but stopped buying art completely. And there are many others like that that have stopped buying. That’s one canary in the coal mine to add to my collection that something bad is likely coming. The rich always know first. I’m just hoping we can make it until 2026.

>> Implying that driving just based on visual input is unsafe, when that is how all humans drive.

> ... Teslas have at least as good a visual input system as humans, so that alone can't be a reason they're worse drivers.

I don't think that's an accurate description of the original claim. At this point I do wish it had been. This perpetuates the discarding of how past experience affects perception, which seems like part of the "visual input system" of humans to me.

But how much time are you losing to a commute?

I kind of agree with you in a way as I ultimately think that working remote is a bit harder on social health and maybe even physical health of getting out of the house, but in another way I just don't know if I can go back to all the negatives of the office.

I mean, my toilet at home washes my ass with gentle warm water. The work toilet randomly decides to splash toilet water on me with the violent "automatic" flusher after I'm done wiping myself with transparent sandpaper.

Unless we ever get the full archive of Microsoft emails, meeting minutes and recordings from all the secret microphones they didn't have in their meeting rooms, I don't think you can ever disprove this claim. It's generally impossible to conclusively disprove conspiracy theories, because you could always claim you're only showing there are no documents proving the conspiracy, but there are no documents disproving it.

The author is just implicitly appealing to Occam's razor here, as people often in face of accusations of a plot. They can show that Microsoft has backed the ANSI accreditation of ODF[1] and eventually implemented support for ODF import and export in Office, but that's not enough to prove there was no conspiracy.

Instead, the article just provides a very plausible explanation for the complexity in OOXML. Does this explanation thoroughly disprove the accusations of a plot? Clear not. Is it more plausible than a great plot to crush a bunch of competitors that had no market share and kill a better standard document format that Microsoft did end up implementing in Office? Yes. This is probably as far as we can get.

> but the FEAT_ bits are all readable only from EL1, [...] I don't care if it'd be slow, just give us the equivalent of a dedicated CPUID instruction, even if it just a reserved opcode that traps to kernel mode and is handled in software.

I like the way the Linux kernel solves this: these FEAT_ bits are also readable from EL0, since trying to read them traps to kernel mode and the read is emulated by the kernel. See https://docs.kernel.org/arch/arm64/cpu-feature-registers.htm... for details. Unfortunately, it's a Linux-only feature, and didn't exist originally (so old enough Linux kernel versions won't have the emulation).

Color me skeptical of tariffs that include Heard and McDonald islands, which are exclusively populated by penguins and seals.

There's a fair argument to be made that surgical application of tariffs could potentially raid in restoring manufacturing jobs in the US. However, the ham-fisted manner in which Trump's tariffs were applied can at best be explained by incompetence and at worst deliberate economic sabotage.

I might be overstating it, but here's what I see at my company. "Sell" is very different in all of these situations.

- Sell to the champion. - Sell to the rest of the org. - Sell to procurement. - Sell to the implementation project team. - Sell to the users and get adoption up.

Then constantly demonstrate that you're providing value in whatever terms that department / org thinks is valuable that year.

Easy!

Did Yocto ever clean up how they manage the sysroot?

It used to have a really bad design flaw. Example: - building package X explicitly depends on A to be in the sysroot - building package Y explicitly depends on B in the sysroot, but implicitly will use A if present (thanks autoconf!)

In such a situation, building X before Y will result in Y effectively using A&B — perhaps enabling unintended features. Building Y then X would produce a different Y.

Coupled with the parallel build environment, it’s a recipe for highly non deterministic binaries — without even considering reproducibility.

Anyone who says "clanker" is analogous to any actual racial slur is revealing their belief that AI, in its current state, can be deserving of the same rights that humans have. Which is demonstrably false, given the current state of AI.

Now, true AGI? There's a debate to be had there regarding rights etc. But you better be able to prove that a so-called AGI is truly sentient before you push for that. This isn't Data. There is nothing even remotely close to sentience present in any LLM. I don't even know if AGI is going to be achievable within 100 years. But as far as I'm concerned, AI "slurs" are just blowback against the invasion of AI into everyday life, as is increasingly common. There will be a point where the hard discussion of "does true artificial general intelligence deserve rights" will happen. That time is not now, except as a thought experiment.

ONNX Runtime purports to support CoreML: https://onnxruntime.ai/docs/execution-providers/CoreML-Execu... , which gives a decent amount of compatibility for inference. I have no idea to what extent workloads actually end up on the ANE though.

(Unfortunately ONNX doesn't support Vulkan, which limits it on other platforms. It's always something...)

That's probably true for later generations, but in the NES (and maybe SNES) era? Undoubtedly, they didn't have the foresight to write that into the contracts.

In the early days of television, many broadcasters were prohibited by contract to retain any copies of the performance, because no value was seen in reusing them, and there's no other reason to give them any rights. Also see shows like WKRP in Cincinnati where music was only licensed for the slim purpose of the original broadcast (and perhaps direct repeats in syndication), but for release on home video, the music used did not support that use, so it had to be replaced.

Put another way: what makes this time different? How does this designer's proclivity and push towards X learn from our collective past mistakes; what does it bring to the table?

Yes dependency hell is "bad", but we have several language and package management systems today from ninja to uv that make various, obvious trade offs. Optimizing developer time, ergonomics, reproducible builds, configuration complexity are just some of the axes these pre-existing systems focus on.

If you're extremely lucky you get to pick a system that aligns with your style of work and ideals for how software should be built. If you're not, and like the rest of us, you get stuck with everyone else's poor decisions and are forced to make do. All code is legacy code given the right time horizon, so think about software with all those manual dependencies included on disk and nowhere else. How do you safely apply those required security fixes, etc. Don't be user hostile, this will just lead to our past sins like the C of old.

From a purist perspective, you can forgo all other software that you have not written in-house / or does not come with the standard library. This is the monk approach, but outside a few niche work environments that's untenable.

I found it amusing that my proxy detected the "/ads/" in the URL and killed the connection automatically.

Of course highlighting this fact that the presence of an adblocker is detectable, unfortunately only results in escalating the cat-and-mouse game further.

Isn't the difference between "capital -> labor -> capital" and "capital -> AI -> capital" (which is basically just "capital -> capital -> capital") that it's about the elimination of labor through its financialization? Not just that the poor get poorer, but from the POV of the rich that they don't even exist. (Conditional of course upon AI actually really being that much more productive than people and not dependent on them.)

At this point I'd even say the community knows more about the differences between the various APU and PPU revisions than Nintendo themselves did.

Did you see the "Donkey Kong 25th Anniversary" NES hack that Nintendo did, that shipped on red Wiis in certain regions? It's one of the sloppiest hacks I've ever seen. Based on that alone, I'd say the community knows more about the NES than current Nintendo does.

> Silksong as a game should not exist. It is so brutally difficult that it stretches the very definition of the word "game". Games are supposed to be fun. They are meant to delight with their whimsy. Sometimes, yes, they are meant to be challenging. But that challenge is in service of fun.

Games, more than any other form of entertainment, offer skill challenges. As they've become more popular they've gotten better about offering spectacle also. Some people play games mostly for skill mastery, others play games mostly for spectacle. This is a more nuanced distinction than "hardcore" vs "casual" - which fails to capture skill mastery extremists who are barely even gamers because they only play one game, or spectacle extremists who could hardly be called casual because they make gaming their entire life.

Most people care about both, but may care more about one side or another. Some games cater to one side or the other, and some games, like Hollow Knight and Silksong, achieve excellence at both.

> The question is if there is any situation where genocide is justified.

And the answer is: no, there is not any situation where israel's genocide of Palestinians is justified.

Of course, those violating international law and committing genocide would like you to believe that is up for debate, but it isn't, according to the majority of the people who would engage in such a debate.

Indeed, a tiny fraction of all countries debating a thing doesn't make it debatable, but it does tell you which 2 or 3 countries out of 190+ equal ones are particularly argumentative.

"nothing ever happens."

The observation is, humans tend to think that annihilation is inevitable, it hasn't happened yet so therefore it will never be inevitable.

In fact, _anything_ could happen. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

If you need cognitive behavioral therapy, fine.

But to casually cite nuclear holocaust as something people irrationally believed in as a possibility is dishonest. That was (and still is) a real possible outcome.

Whats somewhat funny here is is if youre wrong, it doesnt matter. But that isnt the same as being right.

> Something in our makeup revels in the thought that we'll be the last generation of humans, that the future is gone and everything will come to a crashing stop

And yet there _will_ (eventually) be one generation that is right.

As I understand it, much of the art market is based around the ability to purchase a "valuable" piece of art on the private markets let it appreciate then "donate" it to a museum or non-profit for a lucrative tax write off. At least thats the hustle as I understand it. I could totally see that in jeopardy based on liquidity and the markets.

I wouldn’t classify it as a “global health crisis” like some infectious disease like Covid-19 but as a “global health crisis” in that we introduced a new endemic issue that no one is prepared to deal with.

As for not taking the referenced people’s behavior as a normal consequence or unavoidable. I do not think it’s normal at all, hence referencing it as psychosis.

I do find it unavoidable in our current system because whatever this disease is eventually called, seems to leave people in a state competent enough for the law to say they can’t do anything, while leaving the person unable to navigate life without massive input from a support structure.

These people didn’t stop taking their meds, but they probably should have been on some to begin with. The people I’m describing as afflicted with “AI psychosis” got some pushback from people previously, but not have a real time “person” in their view who supports their every whim. They keep falling back on LLM models as proof that they are right and will accept no counter examples because the LLMs are infallible in their opinion, largely because the LLMs always agree

Usually you'd have some predefined widths, like 33%, 50% and 67%, and use a shortcut to cycle between them. And you can define window rules to start some applications with different width than your default.

edit: and as fellow niri user, I recommend people try it. I think it's one of the easiest tiling WMs to get into, it feels very natural within minutes.

I mean the M1 is nice but pretending that it can do in 110w what the 3090 does with 320w is Apple marketing nonsense. Like if your use case is playing games like cp2077, the 3090 will do 100fps in ultra ray tracing and an M4 Max will only do 30fps. Not to mention it’s trivial to undervolt nvidia cards and get 100% performance at 80% power. So 1/3 the power for 1/3 the performance? How is that smoking anything?

The problem with your strategy is that the items you listed have very little upside; yes, the prices won't collapse, but they also wont go up a ton. Their prices have reached somewhat of an equilibrium.

A lot of collectors are trying to find something they can buy for cheap and then sell when it goes up in price by a lot. If you want that, you have to pick something that hasn't had its price hit an equilibrium yet. You need to take a risk on something new.
