>The subscription cost for Amazon's service may be a great value if their photo algorithm is within a couple points of DXA

If it's accurate enough, I definitely agree. I'm looking forward to testing it out once it's available; since I'm one of those data nerds with actual ongoing DXA results, I'll be able to compare the two accurately. Although, pessimistically, I think if they had proven results within a few points they'd be a lot more quantitative in their marketing rather than the ambiguous language in the posts referenced above.
Yes I'll be interested to see how it turns out. Any blog posts / writing on the procedural viewpoint will be appreciated.

Does Rust have something like C++'s const methods? Where you can have a method that mutates a member, but doesn't logically mutate from the caller's perspective?

It seems like you could be prevented from having races on individual variables, but still have races at a higher level.

Like on database cells. I guess no language will help you with that, and that's why Hickey wrote Datomic -- to remove mutability from the database.
Looks like we need a Stripe for high risk industry ?

>"Calcium copper titanate (also abbreviated CCTO, for calcium copper titanium oxide) is an inorganic compound with the formula CaCu3Ti4O12. It is noteworthy for its extremely large dielectric constant (effective relative permittivity) of in excess of 10,000 at room temperature.[1]"

>"The photograph shows the large grains of a practical energy-storage material, calcium-copper-titanate (CCTO), which is one of the world’s most efficient and practical ‘supercapacitors.’ The density of the CCTO ceramic is 94 percent of the maximum theoretical density."

Here's a wierd idea:

When we think about capacitors -- we think about the ability (of a material) to hold an electrical charge.

But, what if it's not an electrical charge that the material is actually holding?

What if what the material is really holding -- is the deformation of space (compression, expansion, twisting, rarefaction, pressure, ?)

Or, what if the material was really holding -- was some kind of vibration or vibrations, just we can't detect them with our instruments just yet?

Or maybe both of the above, just that what it is, depends on how we look at it, what we measure, how we measure it...

Then, that in turn brings up the electrical field.

In theory, all capacitors should have some kind of electric field surrounding them.

In other words, let's suppose you had a goal to be able to measure if a capacitor was charged -- but you weren't permitted to do this by connecting a voltmeter to its leads.

How else could you detect (without physically touching that circuit) if that capacitor was charged?

Intuitively then, there has to be some sort of field around a capacitor, and intuitively then, this field would tell you (if you could measure it via some beam-like measuring device, rf beam, other electromagnetic beam, ?) if the capacitor was charged by measuring that field, rather than by connecting a voltmeter to the circuit.

Perhaps the answer has to do with impedance (all the most tough problems in electronics/physics have to do with impedance)...

Yes, all of these ideas are totally crackpot at this point! <g>

Just theorizing aloud, for my future notes! <g>
It's kind of hard to come up with new futurological themes and anxieties when the foundational works were so prescient :)

What would be the new ones? Universal surveillance? Pretty sure that was covered. Ubiquitous AI becoming malevolent or just generally shifty? Done to death.

Did Altered Carbon have anything new with technological advancements leading to immortality? I'm sure that was done at some point... and the book came out almost 20 years ago.

The latest season of Westworld was fun, but most of the cyberpunk elements are recycled, with a veneer of solarpunk. Fancy techno-drugs have certainly been done before.
You left out "containment" -- keeping people who commit crimes away from the general public and thereby denying them the opportunity to commit crimes.

In this case, the age thing is about like asking a prostitute if she's a cop and complaining that she lied when getting arrested.

>in theory eat it up after the IPO.

or maybe not in theory but in practise, the entire stock market performance has shifted so strongly towards technology companies due to the general low growth environment we're in that the whole thing comes crashing down in five to ten years because there's actually no business model
That's a PCR test, for active infection. That's not the same thing as the parent comment is talking about.

Antibody is a blood test for (potentially) detecting past infection. Its public health benefits are lower and is usually not offered in a drive-through format. But it is available free with prescription, besides being included in blood donations.

I’d absolutely love if Qt was available in Rust as “easily”[a] as GTK is.

[a] While getting a “Hello, world” GUI working with GTK-rs on Windows is an exercise in frustration, Qt on Rust is harder as it requires generating bindings due to the C++ API.
Peer reviewed treatments, sure. But case studies have been widely shared between medical teams. Things like tummy time, steroids for people on ventilators, anti clotting agents, ventilator strategies and remdesivir are all things we've learned since the outbreak started. These aren't ground breaking cure all treatments, but they definitely moved the needle.
One can be an open source advocate and still not be a closed source detractor, recognising the usefulness and/or quality of some proprietary software.

No, I meant AAC. The XM3s do not seem to negotiate AAC over BT on OSX. They fall back to SBC and obviously sound bad. AAC would be a step up, but AptX HD or LDAC would be ideal.
They work fine in my case on both iPhone and Android.

So as I was saying I'm tempted to move back to Linux for my work laptop for LDAC over BT support as well as other reasons of course.
It's a valid question, if a bit callous.

One of my mutuals on Twitter is a highly active young woman, who does things like spend time in Thailand to train Muay Thai. She's been doing what she can to recover, but it's been slow going.

I remember helping a friend fix his Windows 98 setup. He had accidentally choosen and confirmed a resolution that his monitor would not accept. I told him the exact set of Tab and Down and Enter presses to get to the correct element in UI.

Actually, it didn't work because I told him to Shift-Tab to go from the starting Tab to the ending Tab in one go, except he had an extra Tab on his computer (I think due to a graphics card) at the end. If I had told him to Tab 5 times instead, it would have worked.
I think most of the comments here are US-centric, which also happens to be where the app stores are mostly implemented, so they come with the same source values.

This makes sense in some cases, but there are several functions of government that are fundamentally money-losing prospects that wouldn't change when optimizing for impact. I agree that the metrics around government efficacy can be improved, but arguing that increasing impact will always or almost always lead to profitability isn't feasible in many government cases. The fear I have with such an approach is that if governments indirectly promise profitability via maximizing impact and they fail, then you still have the same problem you started with.

A perfect example of a project that will only ever lose money but is very important to the public is the Hanford Nuclear site[0]. The US government discovered recently that the nuclear waste site was leaking radioactive chemicals and threatening to taint the Columbia River water supply, which millions depend on. Cleaning up the radioactive waste will cost tens to hundreds of billions, and the best possible outcome is that everyone still gets clean drinking water. That should be the most desirable outcome, but even if successful, the government won't generate a profit from it, nor should they. Utilities shouldn't be priced to be profitable, they should be priced to be sustaining and accessible to those who need them.

The problem here is that this is just the pedo version of asking a prostitute if she's a cop and the intention is exactly the same--to limit the police's ability to catch them.
I've purchased a truck in Florida, been going to college in (I forget which state) for a few years now, opened an LLC AND filed for divorce with Legal zoom, was part of a venture partnership with multiple personal invite and discussion emails about investment meetings, and more! I've responded many times to these and the only replies are from the last one, and Legal zoom (who told me sorry, disregard it??)
I think a lot of people just assume there's a ton of overlap because Go is AOT compiled into a single binary (like Rust and C/C++). As silly as that is.
"Equal outcome" is a term created by the right to dismiss liberal policies that are about equal opportunity.

The equal opportunity people, aka liberals, mostly just want people to have the same access to schools that whites have had for decades.

The "equal outcomers," aka the right, have decided that minorities having equal access to schooling is a conspiracy theory at the highest levels, and have been attempting to silence the opposition. (See, e.g. Glen Beck and Tucker Carlson urging their followers to doxx and threaten their critics.)

It's now getting to a point where raising one's kids to be proud of their achievements, seek self-improvement, and pick friends based on shared values, is considered sinful and is being pushed back against.

Again, this is something to take up with the right, which is dismissive of science, academic performance, or the general use of one's brain (see e.g., the current administration), and which has instituted ideological purity tests for leadership positions (see e.g., the NRA, the Federalist Society, the current administration, etc.).

On the left, academic, athletic, cultural and artistic treatment are celebrated, but not at the expense of values. See, for example, Hollywood, the NBA, the music industry, etc. Compare to the NFL, the most popular sport among conservatives, where athletic achievement is the only thing that matters--cheating, drug use, physical violence, and other personal misbehavior is acceptable by athletes and coaches as long as they're winning).
Any Intel Mac is likely to be a paperweight in 5 years; if history is any guide Apple will drop support sooner rather than later, and installing Linux is tricky at best because of the T2 chip. Amusingly pre-T2 Macs may have better longevity.

Yes, any large no-censorship platform for humans will be swamped by Nazis.

You could avoid being large — small, high-trust groups work perfectly fine without censorship.

You could add more moderation (aka censorship), both platform-wide and within communities. Reddit seems to be heading in that direction.

You could avoid being a platform. Some sites are inherently platforms, but does every site need comments?

Or you could genetically engineer humanity into a kinder, better species. This would also be the way to make anarcho-communism work — the economic system with the greatest freedoms, but also the most susceptible to bad actors. The Culture series shows you a glimpse of what this future could be.
I don't think there is an area-preserving projection that can work for all the scales online map services are designed for.

That's a true statement. In the wider context of this conversation, I think it is important to emphasize that a big factor for continued development along the coasts despite an increasing trend in damage appears to be climate change denial

From the article you posted:

"But rather than adjust the state's plans for coastal development, the Republican-controlled legislature passed a law in 2012 that banned state and local agencies from using sea-level estimates that "include scenarios of accelerated rates of sea-level rise." The law required predictions to stick to historical trends, despite scientific evidence that sea levels are rising at an accelerated rate due to climate change."

Why do you think this? It adds additional, real costs ranging from the need to finance extensive population controls (with the ensuing social unrest) and an unreliable workforce prone to running away.
Perhaps the FTC should have an office dedicated to overseeing policy enforcement for the largest store platforms.

Because the tool you use is just part of the equation. It's same reason I use Discord, Telegram, whatever. You trade convenience for money, time or privacy. Sadly, I genuinely don't think that any of the tools you mention come close to Photoshop or Lightroom (Darktable is getting there but still misses a few key things for me).

To be an open source advocate I have to only use open source software? How would I drive my car? Or use my phone? Or my TV? It's just not practical.

I advocate for mostly open source server side software. I wrote a Masters dissertation on Linux and normal peoples interactions with the Linux desktop. I record a podcast twice a month (selfhosted.show) and edit it under Linux sometimes and sometimes on Mac.

My argument, such as it is, is that the tool I use to build and maintain my open source infrastructure doesn't need to be open to allow me to further the open source agenda. Linux changed my life and I do everything I can to give back to the community.
I’ve briefly been on the inside of government projects. I wouldn’t trust them to build anything like this, unless they allowed NASA or some similarly engineering-orientated agency to manage it.

Deep Fakes are merely the next iteration of Photoshop. Before the 90's, faking photographs required extremely labor intensive processes performed by experts. Multiple exposure tricks, splicing, painting.

One could have expected that the development of Photoshop would have been hailed as the end of trustworthy information, but instead we got memes and photo manipulations such as https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/shark-attacks-navy-diver/

I think Deep Fakes are good. They're going to breathe new life into media and make it significantly easier to make films, music, and all kinds of art.

The public will come to understand AI-generated media as a part of daily life. People are not that stupid. The media (the only ones decrying this) need to stop with the Luddite hysteria.

I've actually been quite involved with deep fakes and wrote a few pretty big sites to help democratize the tech (the average person can't run Google colabs and Python) :

https://vo.codes (over 40 celebrity and cartoon voices)

https://trumped.com (just Donald Trump)

I've already got a real time voice conversion software nearly finished. I can do Discord/Team Speak and talk as Trump and Gilbert Gottfried.

I'll probably do the same for video soon.
They provided false credentials. The account is yours.

I did this once when someone created a Facebook account using my address. I let it go for a year and then did a password reset and deletion. At the time there was no requirement for email verification so the account was fully functional. Again, this is Facebook's responsibility to verify new accounts. A confirmation email link is last century's technology.

Moreover, what happens if this doppelganger is committing crimes via said account and investigators track you down from the email. It is in your best interest to eliminate these accounts. Kindly explaining the situation to non-existent customer support will get you nowhere.

that really sounds like the software you were using not the ipad itself. most people essentially NEVER have their ipads freeze.

Time to start mass-reporting Google Chrome on the store because I can use it allows access to child porn and Nazi forums I guess?

And also maybe revise all those antitrust laws into something actually useful - they're using their (kinda, mostly) monopoly to hinder competition by selectively applying their rules to whever they want and never themselves.

Any other mail service is already better than Google's. You don't have to host your own to get off Google, if that's what you're aiming for! There are a lot of other trustworthy providers. As someone who hosts their own email, I'd thank you for diversifying.

While, one the one hand, I don't have a lot of trouble with delivery even from a residential IP address and I'd recommend self-hosting, I understand anyone who's hesitant. My mail lands in Google spamboxes much more often than it should (I don't send any automated mail these days, i.e. not even website notifications or anything: everything is hand-written or at least triggered by the person receiving the email; my sending IP has been stable for a decade). Another downside of Google is that they hide the existence of the spam folder and many people will simply never see it and be able to update its filters by replying to me or marking it as not-spam. Heck, some Google-for-corporate mail service even blocks your email at smtp level and there is no recourse. By diversifying receiving servers, at least Google doesn't get to set one standard: if your mail doesn't arrive in a Google inbox, it's currently extremely hard to argue that "but it's google's fault" (when it totally is). Clearly I as an individual have an issue and the big google doesn't.
So reduce division to SMT solving and QED.

Not everybody has Silicon Valley or even US salaries (I sure don't) and subscriptions quickly add up and become non trivial.

At work we still have Office 2010 on most our workstations. Imagine how much we would have paid if we had an Office 365 subscription all those years (I'm not sure 365 even existed at the time of 2010 release but bear with me for the example).
