I read this as Chinese nationalistic policies are now being exported to other countries like the US.

The pivotal moment here is that it may put the rest of the world on a path of being less connected to each other through trade and exchange of ideas.

In the short term, it will probably help give local economies a boost. But in the long term, it will create an imbalance of resources, technology, and people. Which sets the stage for conflicts 10-20 years down the line.
The US revolution wasn't people going around randomly burning down other people's houses and businesses, it was specifically targeted at the English oppressors.
If you find the topic of non-human intelligence, esp. octopus intelligence interesting, you may find Adrian Tchaikovsky's children of Ruin series worth your time. The 2nd book, without ruining too much of the story, has octopii as one of the central characters. [1]

Going out further afield, exploring forms of intelligence & cognition that are very different from humans, Peter Watt's blindsight (firefall) series is an idea-filled, dense, very satisfying read. [2]

Android actually did depth from movement for a while. Or at least many Android vendors.
I just think the problem of bots is hugely exaggorated - only at my office, in the small circle of my coworkers, I know at least 5 people who were trying to buy it yesterday. The actual real organic demand must have been huge, bots or no bots.
Still, the story was pitched perfectly to the essential self-centeredness of Americans. You mean, in the nation we invaded decades ago and have bombed mercilessly ever since, murdering and orphaning hundreds of thousands of innocents, there are some people who oppose us to the extent that they'll shoot back, without being paid to do so? They must hate us for our freedom!
I believe the company saying they were threatened over one as large as Apple, where one group could have said "yes we're threatening you with this" and another disparate group could say "we would never do that"

-

Actually looking at other sources it's very clear that is exactly what happened:

- Epic Games doesn't just tweet they're being threatened with termination, they start updating all documentation on accounts to reflect this fact with a specific termination date

- Verge reaches out, gets an immediate reply from Apple that they'd never do this

- Epic Games gets an indefinite extension on the removal.

- Verge reaches out to Apple about Epic's claims that they got an extension on a ban... no reply.

Most likely the "lower level" developer relations people have the power to terminate access to the program, and did threaten Epic with it

Higher level legal/strategy dealing with the fact this is a matter about to enter court and in the public spotlight step in and clarify this is not a case where the lower level relations people should terminate their access.

Once the fact Epic had in fact been threatened with termination bubbled up, they stop replying.

The problem is very much, most people never get that higher-level involvement. The fact these lower level development relationship people are showing it's a lever they were at some point willing to pull is more than a little worrying...
That paper (and all other works in this space) are about population level inferences from the model.

My point is that the individual level outputs (which you'd need to accomplish what the OP was talking about) are essentially impossible to tune so precisely, given our current understandings of the models.

That snippet as a whole could be optimized. Individual components would be trickier though. To be clear, you aren't suggesting something as seemingly straightforward as shoving lists of integers into contiguous memory, right? With native big integers, integer subclasses, and whatnot I'd imagine that'd get thorny in a hurry.
Thats unfortunate. However I guess it is because of the value those tools bring, makes them expensive.
This is one thing that impressed me with the 3080 .. it looks like 2 of these will be around the performance (for some compute tasks) of 4 x 2080Ti The 4 2080Ti would max out at 1KW the 2 x 3080's at ~700W ...
I understand your message and don't disagree, but I think choosing Alex Jones as an example for this message is crazy given that he has literally made his life's work giving a vocal platform to inflammatory content.
What an odd thing for Epic to announce.

Save the World has already been announced as receiving no further gameplay updates. In other words, the game is just as much of a zombified husk as the mobs you're asked to kill in it.

Just like most of the rest of Epic's announcements about their conflict with Apple, this just seems like more empty propaganda.

I'd say that is the same as a dead end. Right now this is a very expensive, multi-billion dollar toy with toy demonstrator apps and proof of concept games. It needs to be a game changer and the future of something or the research funding and developer ecosystem are going to dry up. And given the amount that Facebook must be losing on the Quest 2 and the all-in nature of this launch, if this doesn't take off now, the runway for Oculus at FB may be over.

What a terrible example to use as a comparison to two giant companies with lots of power fighting over mutually agreed to contracts.
That story took a turn.
> Consumer don't buy black box devices because they trust the few big companies that manufacture the hardware and software: they buy them because there aren't any alternatives that provide the same level of convenience, and can solidly guarantee a due level of privacy as to what happens behind the screens.

They still consent to it, though. People do perceive it as acceptable, and use it to share their private information. If they don't want to use smartphones, they're free to move to another country.
I think this comment is slightly disingenuous, I think it's more obvious that the aesthetics of any game (let alone engine) will primarily depend on the quality of the Assets. If you loaded up these quake 3-era meshes and textures into Unreal Engine 4 or something else you'd call 'modern', I guarantee you they'd look the same or similar.

The lighting isn't even that bad sans indirect illumination, which unreal only just got recently and Unity is losing due to Enlighten being shut down.

This reminds me of people comparing open source software with proprietary software on account of aesthetics - it's not the licensing model, or the game engine, it's the presence or absence of artists that makes the difference.
You're saying this with a lot of confidence, but I'm not certain I believe you.

When you have facial recognition software, photos are a contact graph. When they're photos that a user explicitly uploads, they often come with location data. All of that stuff is useful to advertisers.

Facebook can and does target ads based on who you know. If you upload a photo, and the metadata says it was taken today, and it has you location attached to it, and it shows you smiling next to your friend who's recently searched for the new Avengers movie, then yeah, it makes a lot of sense to show you an add for the new Avengers movie, because maybe the two of you will go to it.

It doesn't even need to be that detailed. Just knowing that you're that person's acquaintance means that now Facebook can suggest that person as a friend, it means that Facebook can add that person to its social graph if they're not currently on the service. Just knowing your location means that Facebook can advertise you something from a nearby store.

All of that is stuff that Facebook wants to know, all of that falls pretty squarely in the middle of the category of data harvesting. Not all data harvesting is just to serve ads, some of it is to know how to tailor the service to you to make you more active (so that you look at more ads), or to suggest friends (which increases your investment in the platform), or how to engineer the service in general (so that more people use it and look at ads).

> Not facial expressions while scrolling or group photos at restaurants.

Facebook used to analyze unposted status updates (where you type out the status and then delete it before you press post) so it could figure out why people were getting cold feet before sharing their thoughts[0]. You really, genuinely believe that they're not interested in your facial expressions? You really, genuinely believe that nobody at Facebook is looking into research like identifying branded products inside of user-uploaded photos?

The billing threshold was formerly $15/quarter; now it's $30. I don't have a CC stored on my account, and have never hit the threshold for them to mail/email me a bill. I think they asked for a CC, but I saw the option for 'just bill me and I'll send a check'.

> Seems like an easy way to game the system...just sign up for a new account every quarter.

As I recall, they mailed me something via the USPS before my account was activated. I don't think it'd be very smart to intentionally rack up charges with the branch of government responsible for putting people in cages, and think you could just walk away from those charges.

excellent point. even if you do, i think this is a pretty substantial measurement and control theory problem.
So far, the primary country that has developed its own fragmented internet is China. The response from India, the US, and others merely represents a reciprocal retaliation to the CCP's arbitrary bans on foreign internet service companies, just as Canada retaliated to US-imposed aluminum tariffs with its own tariffs.

Until countries begin imposing these types of bans in a non-reciprocal fashion (i.e., targeting countries other than China), there is no reason to believe that the internet will become further fragmented outside of China. Furthermore, the main goal of reciprocal retaliation is to discourage the original activity, so if anything, reciprocal actions by India and the US will prevent further fragmentation of the internet.

Arguing that the US should not engage in these actions is like arguing that Canada should not respond to US-imposed tariffs with its own tariffs on US goods. Failing to reciprocate would lead to more tariffs, not less.
OK cool, I was interested in whether or not you were being consistent.

I don't find it weird at all, I've noticed that often people get really upset about FB or GOOG doing something, while ignoring the other, so hence my questions.
That's exactly the problem. It is only efficient if the hardware is more efficient. If you spend 40% the cost of the server on this new hardware then shift that 30% of the CPU to the new hardware you haven't actually gained anything. Your hardware cost is still (approximately) 140% of what you are selling to the customer.

Making it simpler or making the jitter better is a valuable benefit. But the claim that they are running more efficiently was completely unsubstantiated.
It is a political opinion itself to think those actions are controversial. At scale, anything is political. The only solution is to keep politics out of business, and manifest our political opinions through government. Business, like economics or biology, is dismal. The most efficient and productive continue on.

Government's role is to make the ideologically agnostic machine of business align with our values. In the kind of competitive economy we have, it can only be this way. If we try to apply politics from within a business, we risk introducing instabilities and ineffeciencies, making the business less competitive–an existential threat to the values we incorporated into the business.

My company's health insurance company spiffed everyone camera covers for their computers and phones. When we were in the office, I saw them everywhere, on both company-owned equipment, and on people's personal gear.

They had the health insurance company's logo on them, so when I saw one on a barista's laptop at the Starbucks down the street, I assume she got it from one of our employees and thought it was a good idea. Maybe people just don't know they're available, or cheap.
Consider Sales Engineering. Often in tech companies, there are two types of salespeople: nontechnical folks, and sales engineers.

The nontechnical folks have titles like Account Exec, Sales Development, Inside Sales, Regional Manager. These are the "people people" in sales. Extroverted, greater social skills. Your classic salesperson.

But software is technical, and often gets sold to technical folks. At some point in the sales cycle, a company's sales team needs to talk "brass tacks" and show what the software can do. This means technical presentations, demos, pilot projects. It will be more at infrastructure companies like, say Snowflake, and less at SaaS companies like Salesforce.

For these technical jobs, you need to have sales engineers. You don't need to be a great developer. Instead, you need to enjoy learning technology on your own, and able to "geek out" with fellow geeks. Given your work as a hobbyist, it seems like you definitely have the first attribute.

Hope this helps.
Thanks! That does make sense, and it’s entirely fascinating to think about!

You are conflating "diverse" with "non-white", but I think that is anachronistic. The non-Scandinavian DNA referred to is from eastern Europe and Baltics, British isles, central and southern Europe and so forth. That is pretty diverse - but all would be considered "white" by present day standards.

Interesting the study also shows no Eskimo, Inuit or Native American DNA. Not surprising, but is would be really cool if there were some Native American DNA among viking-age Scandinavians.
I feel dumb here, but isn't "high mobility" being correlated with "high cases" kind of what you'd expect in a regime where the number of cases had previously been low, and then began to spread again?

The biggest thing web developers can do to be more efficient is stop the warfare against their users:

Ex-employee here. Adam Rogas is a pathological liar and sociopath who dragged this out for years. I don't know how multiple audits failed to raise red flags over multiple $999,999.99 fake Stripe payouts. He literally inserted millions every few lines that didn't match up with the data around it. They never asked anyone else to produce the same report. Everyone involved should never be responsible for this amount of money again (looking at you, Lightspeed).

If your CEO is actively siloing all financial and customer information, your entire company needs to speak up and get on the same page. Don't let this happen to you.
The rosa parks case required the law to be broken. The law could only be challenged by a plaintiff who has standing.

In Epic’s case, they could have sued without violating the terms. The judge presiding over the case has been very clear on this. Epic already has standing by nature of being an Apple developer.

There are many reasons the two situations are not comparable, but the very basis of your analogy is incorrect.

For sure... So why is Bill Cosby still on Spotify?

And if transgender rights are our priority, why are endless numbers of outspoken anti-trans a-holes like Ted Nugent still on there?

Or, hey, what about the incredible number of songs stuffed with the n-word, the b-word, the f-word, the r-word, the c-word, anti-trans sentiment, and detailed descriptions of lawbreaking and violence?

Just wait until you find out what it takes to build a CAD program and you'll be happy Fusion 360 is only $500/year.
They made simple workflows more complicated, removed features and move UI elements around for no apparent reason.

Weirdest thing is how they moved the address bar to the bottom of the screen. You can put it back to the top of the screen but it's like - why?

There was a useful list of most frequently visited sites on the homepage, which they've decided to remove.

Opening a new tab or a favourite now requires at least two taps (one on top of the screen, and the second at the bottom), or one long press, while it required only one tap before.

With their experience in software development, Mozilla should now that users mostly hate changes, although we can be fine with it when there are improvements too. But in this case, there's no improvements as far as I could see, just random changes to the UI, a few things worse, a few things different for no reason, but nothing better.

Overall it gives very little confidence in what they're doing. It seems there's no leadership or overall vision at Mozilla, just random teams making random changes just for fun.
Gnome Help: Printing a Booklet
I used OpenSCAD almost exclusively for 5 years (Mech E by degree, but computer programmer by profession) and switched to Fusion360 in the last 3 months.

For me, within 6 hours Fusion was night and day more productive (even after a lot of experience in OpenSCAD). As one example, it was so much more productive that I can think of only 2 OpenSCAD designs in 5 years where I bothered to add fillets for strength and appearance. It's just too damn much trouble.

In Fusion360, I'll often have a simple part whipped up in 15 minutes and then spend 1 extra minute adding fillets and chamfers as needed. In OpenSCAD, that same part would likely be 30 minutes for the base part and the fillets another 15-30 minutes (with fairly poor performance once added).
This.

When I was using OpenSCAD about 10 years ago, I immediately found it very intuitive and easy to use for simple things. But for anything complex, I ran into this sort of thing constantly. At the time the documentation of the language mentioned such issues, but failed to specify the language completely, leaving lots of ambiguous cases that I just had to try out to see what would happen. The behavior really seemed to be something that just agglomerated as the author had added features, rather than something planned with a design philosophy behind it. I found it hard to work around and plan more complex shapes as a result. I haven't been back to look at the docs in ages; perhaps it's better-specified now.

I ended up doing my more complex stuff in an OpenSCAD clone I hacked together on top of https://evanw.github.io/csg.js/ until I ran into problems with non-manifold surfaces. Simple problems I could repair, but that library's really only intended for visualizations, not generating STLs for printing, so eventually I went beyond what I could fix.

So then I wrote an implicit surface renderer [also in JS] using https://github.com/mikolalysenko/surface-nets, and that was less-precise, and a bit limited [my code, not theirs], but got the job done. A short while later, I found implicitcad.org, and saw what I could have written, had I had just one more epiphany. I've never used it, but I like the philosophy behind it, and that may be what I try when I get back to 3D printing.

"Assembly" as in if you have multiple parts in Fusion360 etc, you can select components and put them together by forming constraints. E.g. a screw into a mount hole with a nut on the other side. Expensive CAD software makes this relatively easy, you just select the objects and define the constraints. This is lacking in CAD software like FreeCAD (not very well supported), TinkerCad (where you have to create throw away objects), OpenScad is equally not easy, you have to manually position the objects and line them up in code to "assemble" them.
