This sort of thing is why I will not buy an iOS device. They're nice pieces of hardware but I refuse to support their model of complete lock-down.

The double standard is kind of funny. There is no way Microsoft or even Google could ever have gotten away with this, but for some reason everyone swallows total device vendor lock-down when it comes from Apple.

Can you explain how that picture would be produced with 75 numbers per square? The generalization that seems obvious to me already fails in both cells of row 2, because 75 is odd:

row 1, col 1: [1, 2, 3, …, 75], has primes

row 2, col 1: [76, 78, 80, …, 224], no primes

row 2, col 2: [77, 79, 81, …, 225], has primes
Slippery slope here. Most people don't understand or accept evolution, even engineers. For example, anyone who accepts equitable distribution of attributes across genetic variances(a commonly accepted social narrative).

Evolution is messy. Epigenetics makes it even messier. We have to be careful not to conflate the value of someone by anything genetic. Especially not epigenetics, which seems from this article to be related to childhood trauma.

I'm interested in how we can use AI to modify genetic code to improve and fix our past epigenetic and genetic shortcomings.
Yet they say that this only seems valid for the number of rows equal to the number of integers-per-dot that was used. So, it would indeed highlight with reasonable certainty all the primes in the first row. (I am not a mathematician but I think that is "1" ?)
Big != sophisticated. I’m not denying that there’s a ton of effort and features that go into windows, but operating systems are well known, and I’m sure most of the code powering windows is not all that sophisticated outside of some core components.

It’s sort of like comparing a skyscraper to an iPhone. Sure the skyscraper requires a lot more manual labor, but the iPhone is more sophisticated. It took ~80 years from when the Empire State Building was built to when the iPhone was built. The iPhone is more sophisticated but it’d still take more time and resources to make another Empire State Building.

Sorry if that’s a poor analogy- it’s the best I got right now.

Long ago, I had applied for a software position at Google and they brought me in then said "We are going to interview you for a systems position" and I was like "umm, but I applied for a software position and am not prepared for a systems interview" then they said "roll with it, lets see". As I told them, I bombed at least partly because it threw me for a total loop and I was pretty shocked at the rudeness of that.

I didn't get further along in that process because of that stupidity and have never even considered them as a place to work since, and I am an SRE/PE these days.

Given this lens, is CNN & Co any less deceptive than the Chinese gov.? Same means, just different ends. The Chinese gov seeks control, the MSM profits. (I'll pass on the MSM being a proxy for the US gov, to keep it simple.)

The end result is that minds are mmanipulated, and urgent issues and truths are hidden in a blur of overload and further burried under a pile of pointless horse shit.

I think Wozniak's own modesty obfuscates the story a little. Yes, he didn't know the ins and outs of contemporary disk controllers but he was an experienced designer and programmer. One of the reasons he could ditch a lot of the complexity and expense of the Shugart (not HP) controller he was looking at is because he could leverage the flexibility and extensibility of the host, which he also designed.
I see your point. I had never thought of 'clarity' as being synonymous with 'utility', but I can't argue with it.
"also true" is a phrase that really means "is the case as well" (as in the previous sentence).

The first sentence says that "journalists and activists" claim that if a post is written by a "50c party" poster, then it will strongly argue in favor of the Chinese government's side - instead of being more subtle, and maybe not _always_ arguing that China is 100% #1.

The second sentence says that "most posts open accused on social media of being 50c" will strongly argue in favor of the government's side, too.

I read this to mean that posts tagged as "50c" will argue for the Chinese government, and "50c party" posters will argue for the Chinese government, too, so the correspondence between the two is high.

My interpretation could be wrong, but I hope it helps!
They're just different types of articles--straight news reporting vs feature writing. It's fine of course to not like one or the other style, but they are both effective ways of connecting with audiences.

Back in the early 2000s I ran Google ads, back when they were only text and small boxes. You had to earn $100 to get a payout I think, and after forever I still had like $12. I forgot about it and eventually pulled the ads. In 2011 I sold the domain to some Irish company that gave me $10k USD for it. ... kinda regret it now.

It looks like I have the same Google account (found the old e-mails for adsense on that domain) even though I have nothing listed under adsense right now.

I no longer run ads on any of my sites and probably never will, but it would be nice to get that fucking $12 for letting Google run all those text ads for those years.

For a B2B SaaS company, the easiest/most likely[1] algorithm to succeed[2]:

1) Be embedded in the industry for a while

2) Make lots of connections, build credibility

3) Build SaaS app to solve key pain point you experienced in #1

4) Sell to the folks you know from #2

5) For bonus points/de-risking: find 25 potential customers (from #2) and reach out to them and validate this idea (Jobs-to-be-Done). Get a handful of them to commit, even verbally, to buy this when you've got an MVP built.

[1] Clearly this is not the only way to be successful, but "I have a random idea lemme build it" is a great way to be not successful

[2] Succeed = your business that makes enough revenue to support you and a reasonable lifestyle, equating (and/or eventually surpassing) what you would typically make at a W2 gig, from a diversity of customers and not trading your personal time for money.

That's a good question! I think a good way to figure that out is to publish a paper about what they did, how it solved their non-trivial problem, and then invite others to try to use their tool and techniques to solve their problem.

In other words, you're asking a question that criticizes the mechanism that would answer that question. It's a legitimate question, but a poor reason to disregard what they did.

Oh yes we did. To make sure we didn't just suffer from a single fluke, we read through docs and changed the value to 255 after the first time. Then waited. Didn't have to wait for long, the thing broke again in less than 3 weeks.

I think that weapons range, combined with either precision targeting or large numbers, gets that job done. Picture a world without nukes, but with lots of highly accurate ICBMs and SLBMs. The attacker can expect to be attacked, with the destruction being stuff like the Kremlin or Whitehouse or parliament building.

In the days of WWII, an attacker could rightly feel confident that there could not be an immediate response that strikes anything of importance. The attacker might even believe that such a response could not be possible ever in the future. Poland could be invaded without any realistic worry that Berlin would be attacked that same day, and a bit of optimism turns that into Berlin being safe.

You're correct. The correspondence just seems to be due to some bound on the prime gap for arithmetic progressions (or perhaps something even more trivial that I'm missing). A cursory search suggests it might be a consequence of Ingham's bound. In any case, it doesn't yield much of interest.

You are completely right; their pattern holds iff (I believe, not proven!) the number they take 75 for is even. If you take any even number of rows (== amount of numbers per cell, in their construction), say 6, or 74, or 76, the pattern works.

> because it's just as easy for a rejected subject to infer ill intent from a refusal to explain as from an innocuous explanation.

Sure, you can infer all you want, but I'm talking about whether there is grounds for legal proceedings. There is a higher probability that a defense lawyer would take a case where the rejection letter says "you weren't a good culture fit" vs "you didn't get the job". Companies simply do not want to even open themselves up to litigated, even if they've done nothing wrong. Further, there is no commercial incentive to tell the candidate anything other than "you didn't get the job", so why bother?

That's precisely my point. It's very difficult to explain to someone that they've been rejected for a position even in the most sincere and nicest way possible.

I read those two sentences to describe an existing misconception among BOTH (sentence 1) academics/journalists/activists AND (sentence 2) people posting on social media. The misconception is that the strategy of 50c party posters is to argue loudly from the perspective of the CCP.

The following sentence in the abstract helps put it in context:
"Yet, almost no systematic empirical evidence exists for this claim, or, more importantly, for the Chinese regime's strategic objective in pursuing this activity. "

This third sentence presents the paper's challenge to the supposed misconception.

Therefore, the concluding quote you highlight makes perfect sense as the paper's thesis for what strategy drives 50c party posts.

Edit: I agree those sentence are a bit awkward. To help parse them, eliminate some of the connecting words:

1: "Academics/journalists/activists claim 50c posts argue for government's side."

2: "This is also true of posts accused on social media of being 50c" (this = argue for government's side)

3: "Yet, no evidence exists for this claim"

C is a good language for learning this. Just don't use your resulting programs on untrusted input; you _will_ make mistakes that _will_ result in security flaws.

Once you've shot yourself in the foot enough times (everybody does), you'll be able to come back to Rust and understand what it's doing. Many design choices in Rust won't make any sense until you've experienced the problems they solve.

For example, lifetimes in Rust make explicit what you would normally need to track implicitly in C.
