I don't know why Apple thinks it's okay for my computer to run a current through my body. I would love to know what happened at Apple that caused this situation. It's just patently insane.

Huh? It's being improved constantly. Nothing like it in the car industry.
I know this is very unscientific, but I regularly watch a part of a 4K movie on the Apple TV app on my 4K Samsung, and then in 4K on Netflix as well.

Netflix is superior in every regard (easy to browse, quick to buffer, if I rewind it’s instant) but even to a naked eye Apple’s quality is way higher. Less smudgy, more definition.

I think the emphasis is on getting the most labor done during daylight hours more than anything. Easier to start jackhammering at dawn than to risk having to cut the job short by dusk. tough to harvest crops at night too.
I don’t want to play on the PS4, I want to play PS4 games on the XBox!
Nothing, but if Slack was a web application and not an Electron application it would mean XSS would not immediately lead to RCE, you would need XSS and a vulnerability in the browser to get an RCE. Electron is basically that for you already: a vulnerable browser.
While Visual Studio is undoubtedly a great IDE, it's biggest issue for me always been performance, especially when paired with ReSharper - this has been the case even before SSDs were ubiquitous.

Honestly, I'd strongly recommend you get an SSD - prices are really cheap nowadays.
I think MKL actually fixed Zen performance. That is, the workaround no longer makes any difference because it is no longer needed.

Odd. I am trying on my 3700X and it is definitely not using AVX, FMA or AVX2 code paths. Intel MKL 2020 update 2:

ldd ~/git/sticker2/target/release/sticker2 | grep mkl_intel
libmkl_intel_lp64.so => /nix/store/jpjwkkv1dqk4nn8swjzr5qqzp0dpzk2f-mkl-2020.2.254/lib/libmkl_intel_lp64.so (0x00007fe786862000)

I checked the instructions in with perf and it is using an SSE code path. Also, as reported elsewhere, MKL_DEBUG_CPU_TYPE=5 does not enable AVX2 support as it used to do.
Mining is a marginal business. The difficulty tends to increase until the bloc reward roughly equals the cost of production.
The Boring Company and Tesla auto-pilot are still alive though
DRAM reads are destructive, so reading a row always refreshes it. On the other hand, every row is refreshed every ~64 ms. (This is governed by tREFI, the interval between successive rows being refreshed. For example a module with 8K rows would require a tREFI of 64 ms / 8K = 7.8 us = 12480 clocks (7.8 us / (1600 MHz)^-1)). Increasing tREFI is one of those things people do to improve memory performance, because less time spent refreshing means more time available for useful work. Some memory chips can use very high values, which would be equivalent to ~200 ms, others corrupt data consistently much before that.

So while rows are refreshed very often, a specific row is only refreshed ten times per second or so.

So this is step one and they intend to sue for more and more with the Epic endgame of getting the Epic store preloaded on iPhone? I look forward to the never ending news cycle.
Wasn’t the decision they could remove Fortnite but had to keep the account?
Had the researchers (unethically) published it as a zero-day vulnerability in e.g. a blog post stating "the slack payout wasn't enough for us to care" - what would've been their legal risks?

I assume that would be _one_ way to get companies to care more about rewarding people who spend substantial amounts of time researching their security
Isn't this the same as the inverted honesty/humility personality trait from the HEXACO personality model?

As an actual neuroscientist (PhD student, in a past life, now a googler), I would disagree with this part:
> Inserting electrodes in the brain is the easy part. The reason no one else has yet bothered with this level of miniaturization is because it won't be of much benefit until you can figure out a way to decode the signals reliably.

I performed and analyzed multielectrode recordings not entirely different from the ones used by Neuralink (Neuronexus is the brand if you want to look it up). These were pretty much the state of the art as far as electrode density in vivo goes. And we would absolutely have loved to have higher density. We even went so far as trying to simulate higher density by moving the electrode array around with a microdrive and repeating the stimulus.

I am quite sure the constraint is not on the demand for higher density arrays from scientists, it is more on the manufacturing side, the economics for further miniaturization are probably not there, in the absence of the Elon Musk cash spigot.

I fully agree that many of the claims Neuralink are making are quite a ways off though.
I think he meant the timespan that government servants work, because those hours set an example to follow for others.
>But even before this Miguel de Icaza had no integrity left to speak of in my opinion

Yes that, for me he always was on the side which had the most money, before it was Microsoft (.NET is the coolest thing ever...that was before Nadella) and after he sold Mono, Apple is the new cool shit...did he already praised Swift for being the coolest thing ever?
In an area with multiple health insurance companies, they can’t just keep spending more and keep raising premiums otherwise a competing insurer will take their business with lower premiums.
I doubt it. I've set Firefox to never allow cookies or site data from medium.com. Seems to have worked as I don't have any entries from them.

I should think incognito would do similar.
The same way she avoids more open ecosystems like android? Presumably, the addition of another app store would be something she would have to actively seek out and do.
They can't go back in time and change how they did it, and they did explain and apologised for not handling it correctly.

Stuff like that happen. We should only judge them if they screw up like that again.
At least the 5 biggest insurers operate their own PBM, so I don’t see the distinction between PBM and insurer to be useful.
I think time zones should be dropped entirely. It might be weird at first, but people would learn to adapt around the new numbers for the hours. dayshift hours in a country could revolve around whatever their stock exchange decides upon.

personally, I would love to shift sunset to like 5-6 hours after work ends to maximize daylight after working hours. Sometimes in the winter its dark when you wake up, and dark when you get off work, which can't be great for mental health.
You typically have to give permission for life insurance companies to access all of your medical history when you apply for it.
The Vice emulator for the 1541 family of floppy drives has optional sound output. Throws you right back to the 80s!
Yeah you can do it. Look up synchromesh and dog clutches. With a typical manual transmission all the gears are meshed and spin freely on the output shaft. A dog clutch is used to lock one gear to the output shaft while the rest just spin. Popping the transmission out of gear can be done but it's bad for it. You'll wear out the dog clutches and then it eventually won't stay in gear.
In Firefox, you can prevent it from using site data and cookies. This also has the advantage of reseting the count of the number of articles that you can read when you close the tab.

>Thereis a lot at risk: your privacy, avoidance of falsified information

Like Facebook Google and Amazon?
The mayo comparison doesn't hold. People go to multiple shop. Apple only allows one shop.

It's definitely the first step of a fight. It's hard to know what the end game is for Epic, but there's several possibilities I can think of:
- moving towards gettibg their own app store, they did this move on computers already. Apple and google start to get under scrutiny for their monoply.
- being on one platforn using their games to bargain the 30% cut on android (android is bigger user base than iphone and users who mainly play there game can change phone). Now that apple did the move of removing all epic games, it makes this bargain more interesting. I know that Epic sued Google as well but but it can always be settled or dropped.
young people work 9-5 too you know. everything else follows that. not to mention when these young people eventually have kids and their lives revolve around school hours.
“I honestly feel I'm just more deserving than others.”

Surely it’s common for people to avoid admitting to agreeing with statements like this whether or not they really do, because they don’t want people to think they’re an asshole.

Can with more knowledge of this field tell me how psychologists address this kind of problem when designing diagnostic Q&A tests?
Should Data Science be taught from primary school?
Scooped back in 2000, if not before:

If anything, being constantly connected is a risk factor for batteries, not a boon. If your laptop is constantly connected (mine usually aren't anyhow!), your battery will likely degrade faster due to the interacting effects of higher heat (because laptops run in higher performance modes usually when connected to the grid) and high voltage across the cells (because laptops usually charge to close to 100% when connected).

But nowadays we have tons of Li-ion devices; compare to pretty much any. Battery robot mowers, cars, hedge trimmers, roombas, dust devils, home automation stuff, bikes, and of course competing phones. I've never owned even a single device that degraded as quickly as iPhones a few years ago; not one; not even close. And you don't need to take my word for it; Apple eventually admitted the faults, right?
Seneca didn't have a "career" (as a senator) until he was nearly forty. Emperor Nero also ordered him to kill himself (around age 68) and Seneca complied. If anything, he had less time than the average person does today.
More likely it will shift market share to consoles. Epic will still lose their 30% cut and Apple will still sell what they did before. I do not foresee “can play Epic Games” as a phone marketing strategy.
I remember people being pissed off their premiums went up because people with pre existing conditions and pregnancy and whatnot had to be covered now.

People are still pissed off about having to pay increased premiums so more people can get more healthcare.

Insurance companies, by statute, can earn up to 15% to 20% of healthcare expenses they pay for, so increasing the population they cover is in their interest.
I watch a lot of anime, and Netflix consistently looks the worst. Recently, Devilman Crybaby in particular looked so bad I thought I was experiencing a technical issue but nope, I was watching the anime at Netflix’s top quality. The banding artifacts in many scenes were intolerable. It’s hard to get excited about Netflix saving bandwidth when their top bitrates consistently have huge artifacting problems.

It’s so bad that I will pay Apple $3 per episode than watch whatever garbage bitrate Netflix has decided is suitable for anime.

To my eyes, Apple TV+ consistently offers the highest quality images, with a 23 minute anime episode using 700MB+ total instead of 70-170MB I see on Netflix. Even Amazon is a huge drop in quality compared to Apple TV+, although it is better than Netflix.

Not sure how you get that Joe Rogan is a progressive?

He's probably more libertarian than progressive. He was quite open about his support for Ron Paul in the Obama-Romney election and then went for Gary Johnson in 2016. When Sen Sanders lost the nomination, he was quite open about saying he would vote for Trump over Biden.

He's very good friends with Alex Jones (of Sandy Hook denial infamy) and has hosted numerous other rightwing guests with a great degree of empathy for some of their positions.

Add to that his thoughts that perhaps "the Man" has had some grand conspiracies at work (e.g. him wondering if we really did land on the moon) and he's probably more identifiable as a liberal libertarian.

He definitely has a pleasant voice and can engage in conversations but I'm not sure how much some of the above-mentioned positions align with the majority of progressives.
One could argue nuclear bombs and MAD are the reason there hasn't been a third world war.
Someone asked an engineer who designed ICBMs : How do you feel that things you worked on may never actually be used?
He said, then I have succeeded. The purpose has always been to act as an deterrent. If my work was used, then somewhere something has failed.
Off topic to neuralink, but found it interesting.
It's a drug like any other; if it has no effect on you then maybe you're just lucky? For me it just changes the way I think and trivial everyday worries float away for a while.

I'm not a heavy drinker, I can go months without a single drop, but if alcohol was to cease to exist I would miss it.
Hideous screenshots aside, Graphtage itself looks very useful. Can it generate Git-compatible diffs for use as a Git difftool?

Also-- for "standalone" tools like this that are written in Python, I highly recommend Pipx for installing them: https://pipxproject.github.io/pipx/. It installs each tool into a separate self-contained virtual environment and symlinks the executable itself to a "bin" directory, which prevents tools with different dependencies from conflicting.
For every new technology there’s an explanation why it changes everything.

And phones are just telegraph with sound and telegraph is just a mail over wires, and mail is just a messenger without a person.

Also, it is very very very far to wiring something “directly” to the “thought process”. Society will have time to adapt.
The next thing I'd like to see is - are people born or made this way? and can they change?

Because none of the above. Because Taiwan is a thorn in the side of China, the open truth for all to see that freedom, not despotism can be the foundation of a prosperous Chinese state.
I used to think the same way about blockchain, but I then saw a presentation about self-sovereign identity and I think it could be blockchain’s killer app.

The U.S. does use the metric system, though. The general public doesn't really use the metric system nor needs to. This is also true of the general public in other countries, like in the UK where they also use provincial units like 'stone.' Science, technology, and engineering in the U.S. are metric just like the rest of the world.

With quarternions, gimbal lock is impossible. Also the kinds of simple sums and matrix arithmetic that we use for quarternions are really cheap operations on a computer. They're so cheap, I wouldnt be surprised if axis-angle was just a syntactic sugar implemented on top of quarternions.
Isn't 9-5 already a reaction to DST? At least here in Germany, office and school hours used to start at 8 or even before that. Stores also used to open at 8. Nowadays, most of that has slipped to later times, many stores only open at 10 now. And people work longer. There is also discussion, to shift school times to later.

If we just to back to standard time, it is easy to go back to the "old" times once and stay there forever.
On this level of thinking I think we should consider the possibility that the notion of time is highly subjective. Indeed I think we should consider the possibility that time is an illusion.

That illusion is created by the mind, which habitually simulates the past and the future. The thinking mind is a simulator.

This is why the past can be changed, because the past is a thought. It is also possible to suspend this simulating, and you can experience timelessness. You might have experienced something similar in "flow states".

A practical mnemonic I use is to consider not filling time with your actions, but rather filling your actions with time. This means slowing down, observing in as much detail as possible, and appreciating every possible moment within each action.

Hope someone finds this useful!
Has anybody went through React's HTML diffing algorithm? If this one's good, we could write a JS version and use it for HTML diffing in browsers.
While technically correct, I don't get what you are implying here. Just let nature run its course? Cull the weak?
So Slack offers the guy a paltry $1,750, then attempts to take credit for his work while also screwing him out of his own disclosure.

This kind of response to security researchers just invites the next researcher to sell the exploit instead, or to actively exploit it.

Why does Slack seem like a company that is floundering? It took them over two years to release a simple feature like shared channels. It seems like the app is frozen in time and the company is doing nothing except keeping the lights on and waiting for Teams to obliterate them.

Slack turned from a hungry tiger startup into an exhausted lumbering enterprise giant whose primary weapon is litigation and mudslinging (Slack initially encouraged the Teams competition, then filed suit against Microsoft in perhaps the biggest case of corporate sour grapes in some time).

Pay your security researchers properly, Slack.
The Boring Company is boring boring regular tunnels, nothing like Musk's fanciful visions that civil engineers have scoffed at.

Tesla auto-pilot is far behind even the state of the art in self driving (Waymo), and even that is far behind actual self driving. So sure, some good has come out of the project, no doubt about it, but the naysayers have also been right.
Do we agree that current VC, mostly because of unconscious bias, are racist and sexist ?

Then what do you suggest to change this situation ?

I am not super comfortable with counsious positive discrimination as a momentary tool to correct a discriminatory situation (with negative impact on the whole society), but it is hard to imagine solutions without using this tool.
Couldn’t browsers ask before using local storage? Then I can approve it for sites where I believe it would make a positive difference (Once/Always/Never), and with an option to clear when the browser is closed. Bonus points if I can preview what’s being stored.
That is not a very practical thing as the time of sunrise changes every day. However, there used to be a very practical solution, to center the clock at noon, which drifts only a few minutes over the year. The daytime then will be symmetrically around the noon point, 6am sunrise means 6pm sunset. Isn't that neat?
The first category is a manufacturing defect, where the product departs from its intended design

Errors of this kind are transfer errors, where (for software) the image loaded onto the vehicle is not bit-for-bit identical to the original code. I would agree with the assessment that these errors are rare, since verification of the process is rather easy: all firmware update procedures already have an established process for verifying the written ROM contents.

What they're actually saying is that most navigation errors will stem from design flaws, not from bit-flip errors, which seems a defensible assumption to me.
This is credit cards. I consulted at a major credit card company many years ago. Their main system was the usual: mainframes with three money buckets one for charges, one for cash advance, and other. They tried to move the whole thing to UNIX so they could ditch cobol/mainframes and so that they could have N money buckets for cross selling deals. But that software project failed.
> Going with Google is akin to giving away all your privacy, going with Apple is akin to giving up all your control. Neither is really a great option, so we need the law to step in and correct what the free market (apparently) does not.

Apple is a public company, and face the same pressures to make profit that Google does. If they can't "capture the value" of the platform they've created via the Apple Tax, there's a decent likelihood that they'll be forced (by pressure from their shareholders and the market) to start giving away your privacy too.

So as you say: Right now you have a choice not to give up your privacy. If Epic prevails, there's a good chance you won't have that choice any more.
Surprising or not but this is the issue of user perception. If grandma wants to run her old windows programs on the Ipad and it isn't available on the appstore, why cant she just put them on the usb stick and install as she done with her last device: tablet-laptop? These questions do come up from technology naive people.
In the same vein the distinction between GUI and cli isn't in capabilities but in user mindset. Just because you can bridge things with dmenu on your linux machine doesn't mean it should be default. All kinds of edge cases will inevitably emerge whether you like it or not so the user needs to do an informed decision, so don't force your own strange preferences when designing application. In the linux world, look at GNOME, they implement very opinionated changes and test those on they peers. GNOME is getting "better" for some power users and becomes unusable for the regular normies.
Ya, I felt the same way. Like they had been reading our channel or something. Good to know other people are doing the same thing.
For communicating internationally, it's much easier to think "it's 10am there, what does that mean in terms of whether this person I know is likely to be asleep/working/etc" than to think "it's 10pm here" then try to remember what's going on at the same-named 10pm on the other side of the world.

Interesting and unexpected place to see neural networks pop up:

The researchers, led by Ching-Yao Lai of Columbia University, trained a neural network—a kind of machine learning algorithm—to recognize fractures in Antarctic ice shelves on satellite images.

They used this information to determine where these kinds of cracks were most likely to form and which ice shelves might be at risk of crumbling if enough meltwater flowed across them.
