Not to whataboutism too hard, but Epic made an animated short mocking a past Apple advertisement. Further, tried to brew up a hashtag shame campaign. And finally ending with a holier than thou email over this whole ordeal.

Apple is just promoting an update for a popular game, around the time it’s going to be updated.

debug visualizations in fields like computer vision, 3D modeling, or really anything that has a direct visual representation very naturally pull themselves into these debug transformations much more readily than maybe regular data structures and algorithms do. The more complex the transformation the more useful the debugger visualization becomes. It probably doesn't need to be turned on all the time though, it may be an expensive proposition for sure, but when you need to bring out the big guns--by all means visualize away.

But that's assuming the judge knows who the thief is. One of the main characteristics of cryptocurrency is that you can hold it without giving anyone your social security number.

In that respect it's much the same as cash -- if you get away with it you keep the money, but if you get arrested, they can order you to return it, and seize your house/car/wages/etc. if you don't.

The issue, which creates the demand for cryptocurrency, is that we don't have a digital equivalent of cash that isn't based on proof of work. But the regulatory system could create one quite easily.
The App Store promotes PUBG constantly [1]. You're reading too much into this. It would be silly for Apple to promote PUBG to spite Epic because it's made with Unreal Engine.

Congrats to the Redis Labs team!

I'm really intrigued by the concept of a multimode database. I'd love to hear from anybody who is doing this in practice. I run a document, sql, and graph db strung together with pub/sub. All in one definitely seems appealing but I'm trying to size up downsides, what migration work would be needed, and what integrations may break (especially SQL).

Toward the end of the article, the several lawsuits and FTC actions are discussed.

Nonsense. We wouldn't cope with it in the same sense we can't cope with the millions of colors in a 24-bit color space. Do we distinguish each individual color? No, but he full spectrum enables continuous color flow.

When it comes to such a high framerate, the upgrade is akin from going from 256-color palette-swapping VGA to 24-bit HD, or ather from stop motion to realistic motion blur.

Ok, so most my asm coding and knowledge of exactly what the CPU was doing ended sometime between the Z-80/68K/8086 timeframes. Are there any good books/resources on all the modern trickery that CPUs now utilize?
Rockets have existed for more than 60 years alrrady, and have been used for almost exactly that for human travel.

Smartphone "revolution" is a communications revolution, and not much more than that. Smaller and better performing computers, sure, it's nice. But it does not move the needle in civilization-development sense to me.

As for rockets, they are hugely inefficient ways to transport large cargo, so if we want personal space travel, it'll have to be alternative technology or something really worthwhile in space for us to invest that much.

If you are only talking personal small rocket launching, there's already a thriving community doing that.
Just a friendly reminder that if this crime had been committed by two people not wearing state-costumes, they both would be getting prosecuted for 6 counts of sexual assault of a minor. Our justice system has been taken over by criminals, and they are using it to act out their own sick fantasies that have little to do with justice.

Do you think that's true of both sides? As a progressive, a lot of my frustration with "the other side" is that they seem to ignore what I'm seeing in the first person video accounts.

There are varying levels of decentralization an application can take on, e.g. the back end (often Ethereum for financial applications), the front end (hosting on a peer-to-peer database like IPFS or Sia), and governance (by a DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) or some voting mechanism). Many DApps are founded with certain parts being decentralized and other parts centralized, and transition to a more/fully decentralized model.

Exactly, its like binge watching a television show instead of piecemeal. You don't have the cliffhangers since you don't have to wait a week or a year to find out what happens next. A key tool to build suspense is rendered useless.

On the other hand, splitting a book that wasn't meant to be serial can make certain sections feel meaningless - they aren't meant to be taken separately. A perfect example is the movie adaptation of the Hobbit: you had two movies that felt unresolved and one movie that just dropped you in right before the climax of the book.

HF radio+antenna and digital setup. Digital setup includes computer (or a rpi), audio interface to your radio and (optional) cat control to radio.
for example i have a ft-891 with a usb 2.0 type-b to type-a for cat control (lets the software set frequency of the radio), and then a mini-din connector that connects to the back of the radio and gives me a mic/speaker connector which i connect to a usb sound card into my rpi or computer. then you can use js8call or WSJT-X (for other modes like ft8).
you will probably want at least a general license. since tech doesn't give you a lot of hf access, but since this is digital (can be same allocations as CW) you can do some on tech license.
I thought the biggest flaw in 3BP was that none of the characters and none of the unknown assailants seemed to do any temporal discounting. A species that might be a threat in a billion years is not worth worrying about now. Resources should be used for immediate survival, not for eventually-it-might-be-nice extermination. It made the story seem more like a fantasy of contending royals than speculative fiction of scientists and soldiers. Of course, it probably seems natural to those who have different priors than I have. It's funny to see it cited in this context; I'm sure everyone on Ethereum knows about temporal discounting.

I think it matters because sadly I’m at the point where I need to evaluate the death threat for whether it is reasonable to fear from it.

It’s really unfortunate when someone fears for their life and I don’t want that for anyone.

However, lots of people fear for reasons that I don’t think are actually from threats of violence.

I had a friend explain how they literally feared for their life. When trying to console them I learned that the thing that was making them afraid was a friend’s Facebook post about a restaurant that supported some Bible group. Their reasoning was that the Bible group was anti-gay, and they might end up killing them for being an ally of gay friends.

Because of this they feared for their own life and wanted the friend to stop talking about it.

Now of course, there are multiple lame things about Bible groups being jerks, but certainly nothing to make this person think their life was in danger or directly threatened.

I’m not sure how to specifically help that person, but after several episodes like this, I don’t pay much attention to them when they say that they get death threats.

Maybe I’m just jaded but lots of people talk about death threats and I’m sure they perceive them as such. But having the details of the threat helps to differentiate the really dangerous people trying to kill others from the plentitudes of people saying “DIAF” who aren’t trying to kill, just being jerks.
Medicaid for All almost made it into the Democratic Party manifesto this time, it was cut but realistically it will make it into the 2024 or 2028 one especially once the longer term effects of COVID-19 will be more apparent because many of the recovered will suffer long lasting effects potentially for the rest of their (hopefully long) lives, and overall once all the bullshit settles down people will see it as a pretty good wake up call.

I agree.

The US Government is pretty impervious to change. For example, people still get arrested for smoking weed. Most o America supports decriminalizing weed.

Why is it still illegal? Shouldn't the government enact policies that most of America agrees with?

I mean... don't most of us agree that if a private company were doing any of this stuff, they would lose all their customers ASAP:

For human observers it is rather easy to separate the rioters from protesters when observing video streams. On still images this is much harder unless the image happens to catch a rioter in the act of slinging a Molotov cocktail or swinging a 2x4 at a shopkeeper. A combination of facial recognition and a model which has been trained to recognise rioting and rioters might get you a long way.

...like they're doing in China, except that they're looking for dissenters instead of rioters...

...which is not exactly an endorsement.
I really like your projects! Especially your ideas in Tiled Text. I think we should think more outside the box and question our current way to write software.
This kind of thing is handled at the CEO level at Epic because it is clearly part of a big strategy. This sounds to me like two very wealthy CEOs got really pissed off at each other and are going to all out war here. To me Apple's response only makes sense if you see if as keeping a promise to do literally everything possible to crush Epic in response. This seems very transactional to me, not strategic.
The environment described in this article is horrifying and definitely sounds worse than our current financial system. That person just lost $12k to fraud and has no recourse at all.

I agree with the other comments on here. Blockchain/crypto has always made me uncomfortable. I think it's a mix of the slimy get rich quick aspect of it that draws a lot of people and the cyberpunk/dystopian rhetoric around it.

I also think it's telling that even though Blockchain has been this hyped thing for 6+ years at this point, we haven't really seen it actually be used for anything outside of cryptocurrency, which in and of itself isn't used for much outside of speculation. On the other hand, machine learning is used in everything now and makes a lot of stuff better.

It definitely sounds like there's an additional major innovation that needs to happen with this stuff before it's really usable.

The banking system deals with it by just reversing the transaction so the end user of the system, the consumer, doesn't care. This ends up screwing the merchant most of the time, causing the price to be paid by higher prices, but people don't seem to care.

And most people don't store value in currency long term, they typically store value in assets such as precious metals, securities, or real estate. Cash has a purpose of exchanging value in the modern economy, nothing more. It is manipulated by design to bring stability to the economy to allow for a more favorable business environment.

I think crypto has a place in the world... but it's not as a general purpose currency. Using anything but a fiat currency for commerce is way too unstable for long term sustainability.

There was a time before video, before photographs, before writing even.

Blockchain started with the "better money" idea, but it has moved on and branched out into totally different fields:

- Document storage and attestation

- Supply chain and provenance

- making digital art non-fungible in the sense that copies exist but ownership of an original as well

- Resource allocation in IoT by creating M2M markets
So if Google broke up (and you give this a high probability of occurring?) you think every smartphone manufacturer besides Apple would fold?

This is the opposite of a backhanded complement. The market for your parents is orders of magnitudes greater than the market for developers and technologists.

There is no proven limit of how many frames per second our eyes can see, and I'm sure you would be able to discern a difference between 144hz and 1khz.

What should the customer acquisition, marketplace, transaction, distribution, and experience support cost be for free apps? Something like 7 to 10% of what?

The judge who ruled against Epic on the breach of contract wrote:

”There appears to be evidence that everyone that uses these kind of platforms to sell games is charging 30%. Whether Epic likes it, the industry and not just Apple seem to be charging that. Right now, Epic is paying Apple nothing. Epic itself charges third parties.”
I don't see a suburb as inconsistent with my previous reply. A suburb, by definition, is going to be economically dependent on its metro. That interlinking blurs the definition of community.

Not sure why people are surprised or consider it giant news.

> The court recommended that Epic follow the App Store’s guidelines and policies while the case is in progress – the rules they followed over the past ten years until they created the current situation themselves. Epic refused.

Well duh, this is a show match court fight of Epic Games not liking the rules and not getting the special treatment they want. No matter what opinion one holds on mobile store rules, they are their rules and so far you have the choice of following them (which is also somewhat iffy) or not being on the store.

The whole goal of two post-capitalism enterprises having a fit is for one or more of them to make more money. The whole "it is good for consumers" or "good for developers" is just sprinkles and marketing to appeal to the public. Separate the issues and angles and see it for what it is: just a bunch of legal departments having a fight.
They have a huge database of most common moves + chess engine moves they cross reference to, then using math they see if your time to move + accuracy of moves is close to a chess engine, especially if it's not the opening (since being accurate for the first 4-12 moves is trivial). If you play too fast and with too much accuracy relative to your ELO you get banned pretty quick.
I have it as well. But I recently started to think about it differently.

I think the reason people dislike blockchain so much is because the promise that blockchain will do DoEverythingBetter™ is not very convincing.

All things considered, this industry is pretty small... but it's an industry. It's already been around a decade and could easily last for many more.

In that time, people who work in the blockchain space will bring those ideas, concepts, and ideologies to other industries.

When you think of it that way, looking under the surface for interesting ideas does not seem so far fetched. I think this post did a great job telling a story about the new and fascinating concepts.
Jurisdictions become participants in a market for access to their buyers.

Mostly because of the seasonality of work. If I own farmland and want to harvest wheat, I need my workforce only in spring and Autumn. But then I need them 25/8, if you get what I am saying. Buying this kind of labor on a fair market is definitelyire expensive than just "owning" it.
It will ultimately have to be handled the same way these problems are handled with fiat: through international treaties and multinationals subject to several jurisdictions simultaneously.
I don't have the math in front of me for the first question, but I've seen it worked out in the past. It's on the order of 1 in a billion.

On the second question, considering "all the numbers in the Bible," an arbitrarily chosen number or set of numbers from the Bible will contain a pattern very, very often, because that's how people thought in that culture.

Jesus didn't have 12 disciples by accident. They symbolically represent the 12 tribes of Israel.

The genealogy in Matthew 1 doesn't contain 3 sets of 14 generations by accident. The author had to skip at least a few kings from the Jewish tradition to make it work out. And the fact that it's intentional is underscored by him explicitly saying "so, there were 3 sets of 14 generations..." (He's making a theological point, but the details of that aren't relevant to the question at hand.)

I could go on... Intentional numerical patterns are, in fact, quite common! And this gives us more, not less, reason to suspect that the Genesis 5 genealogy has an intentional pattern.

I have to hold myself back from "Oh brother"ing and scoffing myself to death with this, because I respect the fact that they're paying attention and their ideas aren't so mired in the past the way mine, basically, are.
I feel the same way.

Storing everything forever perpetually on the blockchain just doesn’t seem like a feasible or good idea to me, and the wasted computation to do anything is annoying. The whole space seems filled with people who hold similar views about economics: all inflation is bad; all government and financial intervention in the economy is bad; all our money problems would be solved if people could just trade with each other, etc.

Also, pet peeve-many times I’ve heard blockchain enthusiasts talk about this idea that you can just put your data on the blockchain and pay a reasonable free and people will keep it there forever, you can move all your business computation to the blockchain by paying people who perform the computation. Nevermind how much of an outrageously poor idea that is: why on earth would I store my data on there, encrypted or otherwise? Why would I want random people carrying out business critical computation for me? Some of the chains are already pretty huge, can you imagine how big they’ll balloon out to within 6 months if businesses started lumping all their stuff on there, let alone 10 years. Storage being cheap is the “throw more hardware at it to make it go faster” off blockchains and is in no way a good fix, not is it in any way preferable to running your own machines.
