I don't think it's just small companies, it's any team that doesn't have a focus on technology. The power of computers is so vast that a moderately competent technologist can deliver enormous business value if they really get to understand the business problems a non technology team is trying to solve. This could be anything from a legal team auto billing a six minute unit for every email received to using python to combine excel workbooks.

Elon Musk says Tesla will probably be producing 20M cars per year by 2030
Huh, that could have been it! But each button depressed a different lever, so I assumed it was an either/or. We don't live there anymore, otherwise I would go try this right now!
you sound like you have some expertise on this, so I would like your opinion on the following: on my street they have put up signs that display how many seconds it is to the light shift at the cross walk, ostensibly for bikes, but totally readable by cars - it's about 4 houses to the light. It struck me as being idiotic and wasteful for the environment to have made this sign and to use the electricity to power it, but also I would think there would be side effects to the traffic flow that would actually make the sign counterproductive - do you know what the usefulness of these signs is?
Two questions:

You keep repeating this idea thay uranium is expensive, by what metric? Where do you get the idea that its expensive?

If nuclear is so expencive, why does France have cheapest elecrticity in EU? And Denmark /Germany have invested in renewables have expensive electricity.
I'd guess many in third-world countries buy second-hand Macbooks, as they have a reputation (at least in the past) for lasting a long time?

And are there any first-world countries (except maybe the US^^) where a 13" Macbook is several times the average net monthly income? In Germany, for instance, the monthly average net wage (MANW) is €2500, while the price of a 13" Macbook starts at €1300. Italy: MANW is €1700, Spain: €1800, France: €2400, UK: €2200. Go to the Nordic countries, Switzerland, Ireland, Austria etc. and we're talking MANW of €3000+. Canada has MANW of around US$3400.

^^ If the US is the only first-world country matching your statement, one could argue this is further evidence that the US is no longer a first-world country.
NVENC is not supported on macOS because Apple does not expose it in their VT toolkit that OBS is required to use to access hardware encoders.
How is the number relevant?
My strategy for Latvian was roughly as follows:

- Go mad because you don't understand a word of what's happening around you for the first time in your life.

- Decide to do something about it.

- Take a three week university summer introductory course. Erasmus courses area great idea.

- Always actively speak the language when in native company.

- Pick up at least the basics from news broadcasts.

- Read childrens' books and written press.

- Study five common new words a day from my actual use (speaking, listening, reading) using a spaced repetition algorithm. The article mentions ankiweb. It's stellar. Picking from your own use tailors to your needs and interests. It also makes finding example phrases easier.

That worked rather well for me getting to CEFR[0] C1 in Latvian.

That sounds quite typical of Filipino security at NAIA and other domestic airports. OTOH, there are good things and bad things about this. For instance, one time while entering the PH I realised I had forgotten to put my Swiss Army knife in my checked baggage. I like this knife a lot and I was sure it would be confiscated and I would never see it again. So before going through the metal detector I took a gamble, I removed it and as I approached the operator, I lifted it up to eye level, displayed it to him, and asked, "Is it OK if I bring this?" and the Filipino security agent nodded and said, "OK" and handed it back to me when I passed it around the device.

Moral of the story: in the Philippines, act like a boss, get treated like a boss. It's a delicate balance, but you're more likely to succeed if you're polite rather than arrogant. Rules are not hard like they are in the west, they can be bent if not broken.
I think a large part of this is that Denmark has an expansive social welfare system, which they're quite proud of. Given that reductions in carbon emissions are claimed by some prominent voices to be expensive, economy-tanking things, being able to keep their system intact while taking aggressive steps can be seen as impressive.
Maintainers aren't going to keep outdated packages around forever, even if you "work with them". In effect, there is some ongoing maintenance there either way. If I just maintain my own dependencies, then I don't have to work with maintainers from a dozen distributions.

I also have a C920: it's fairly infamous for the "Smurf effect", where it tends to make everything look unnaturally blue. Setting the "white_balance_temperature" setting manually improves this situation substantially! Depending on your OS, you might have to first set a "white_balance_temperature_auto" to "off" and then set a "white_balance_temperature" in Kelvin. [In OpenBSD, we recently added this ability, but conflated the two controls into one. YMMV will vary by OS!]

Finding a flight is also a frustrating experience for users right now. Airlines are selling tickets for destinations, which if you look at historical data, they haven't flown to for 6 months. If you buy a ticket, your flight gets cancelled and you end up spending the next weeks jumping hoops and waiting for your money to be refunded (and assuming you bought it in a jurisdiction that mandates refunds).

Advice: if the airline isn't flying to this destination this week, if you can't see the flight on the airport's online arrival boards or on flight tracking websites, don't buy the ticket, the flight is likely fictitious.
Thanks for the response!

With the DGC, yes it makes sense that, given a local GC, you'd be better off extending it.

There's a paper https://concurrency.ch/Content/publications/Blaeser_Componen...

which details an RAII + message queue solution for managed memory without GC. The idea there is that provided your message API is well defined, you can determine the queue size in advance, and thus deterministically manage the memory (ie. object lifetime).

I'm mentioning it here, as if capabilities and RPC are added to the mix, you can treat remote objects as part of the memory DAG - RPC calls are just another message on the queue (capabilities here act as a root trace as if you have a message on the queue, you can trace back to the root) and the object can be removed when the queue is zero.

In addition, as per Rust, we should be able to lean on the compiler somewhat, to do some static cycle analysis.
I don't think you can get away from having a cycle checker at high level, but with a transaction log + managed memory + functional code it should make a cycle checker easier to write.

Lastly, I was thinking about the DAAS space - all of this distributed stuff will require authentication (authN) and authorization (authZ).

I think primarily this comes down to IBS (Id Based Signatures) for authN, and then storing encryption secrets to access resources in a distributed hash tree (https://wmcode.nl/dh3/dh3_paper_v0-5.pdf), but any thoughts on how to secure items without POW (proof of work)?

Effectively the DHT is a POS (proof of stake) as you define who owns the resources by attaching an access hash to the secret.

>The fact that Apple uses this chip to, among other things, block "unauthorized repair"

I actually dont mind they block unauthorised repair, at least I believe in the Steve Jobs's Apple era he wanted the best customer experience. And they want the Data of what is failing in their Mac where their Genius Bar gain first hand experience and knowledge which leads to feedback to the Design team. ( They dont publicly announce or admit it, but the database has those problem listed. )

The goal was to aim for perfection, a machine that is so reliable it wouldn't need to repair in the first place. And if and when they fail, Genius Bar is there to help. You used to get some nice gesture from Apple Retail. Now they are simply trying gouge customers into buying a new MacBook, hopefully with AppleCare+, or replacement for the logic board. Every single problem they will just quote you to replace the logic board price. Not only are they expensive, the actual work or replacement isn't even up to Apple's standard.

I will need time to dig up some data. But MacBook Pro 2016+'s resale price has dropped quite significantly compared to MBP 2015 in the same age. And MBP 2015 second hand market is actually going strong.
You can't just say that "because it's a 747, it can fly":

A 747 with no fuel can't take off and fly.

A 747 with so much load that it never takes off at all, can't fly.

And IMHO, a 747 with just so much load that it can barely take off but can't get out of ground effect, also can't fly. It's borderline, but not really.

It's an academic distinction though. Give the 747 a while, and it will burn enough fuel to lighten and ascend.

Note to the author: On the latest Firefox for mac, the code samples for some reason show up as black on grey text and are almost impossible to read.

I have no problem with sex, and if people really want it they pay for it, it is then called prostitution.

I do not have a problem with sex or prostitution. But we all know where it would lead - drugs, gun violence, sex trafficking, child trafficking, mafia, money laundering, government corruption/blackmail.

The certain organised religion/s have the same problem, imagine a neighbourhood mafia backed by a trillion dollar international conglomerate.
I haven't tried using Netflix in the browser, but in the Windows desktop app it does depend on which country you are in. Or rather, which country the app thinks you are in; using a VPN can unlock audio and subtitles in different languages.
"Ad cazzum" is a sort of fake latinism, to say (in a sort of fake-courtly language) that something has been done/said/thought in a totally random way with no planning at all.

Doing something "ad cazzum" means, generally, that you've just done it without even the slightest hint of thinking before acting.
One extra button isn't exactly the app being "overtaken by Google Meet" now is it ?

Hi guys, I am part of the team working on all things T2. [1]

The checkra1n support is just in a PoC state, it will successfully exploit and boot the T2. The payload support is partially broken, but being worked on.

Additionally, we have SSH working over usbmuxd from a tethered device [2] and SSH working from macOS on device, with an SDK in the works [3].

Some key takeaways from the T2 being jailbroken:

- Custom Bootloaders (OpenCore, Coreboot, etc) are now possible as the T2 validates/sends the UEFI payload to PCH using a bridgeOS binary called MacEFIUtil, which can trivially have its signature checks patched.

- Filevault and by extension Touch ID are more or less crippled, especially in light of the recent SEP exploits. Amusingly, Apple uses a hardcoded "passcode", analogous to an iDevice's unlock pin in plain text within the UEFI firmware.

- Support for In-System Debugging of the PCH/Intel processor over USB. This works in a similar fashion to those Bonobo cable used for debugging iDevices [4]. We are working on building an accessory that you can purchase and plug into your Mac with a USB male endpoint exposing Intel's DCI debugging protocol.

- Lightweight AppleSilicon Tinkering environment. With SSH support from macOS on device, and the T2's modest specs, its a nice sandbox for messing with arm64 stuff. It's a pretty peppy chip, at times coming close to my 8th gen i7...yikes.

Some kind of plugin manager/installer is certainly something that will get added to OBS, probably sooner than later.

Can someone link to actual study? IF is hunger management strategy, if they tested X kcal IF vs X X kcal normal diet, I would not expect any difference, non-IF would just feel more hungry.

But besides psychological effects hard to measure, IF has also some obviously true benefits like time savings from less cooking, or better teeth.

> But, if you are only willing to do a small amount of research of your own, then the case that I would recommend reading is "Hayden Publishing Co. v. Cox Broadcasting Corp", as well as "Broadway Delivery Corp. v. UPS" and "Yoder Bros., Inc. v. Cal.-Fla. Plant"

Have you actually read through these cases yourself? None of these are Supreme Court cases, and none of them actually found that the defendant held monopoly power.

The first case was remanded back to the district court for further proceedings to determine whether the defendant actually held monopoly power, but it doesn't look like anything further actually happened (perhaps it was settled out of court).

The second case found that the plaintiffs failed to present evidence that the defendant actually held monopoly power and the court therefore affirmed the judgement for the defendant.

The third case found that the defendant only held 20% market share in the correct relevant market and therefore did not have monopoly power.

The only thing these cases say is that it is theoretically possible for a company with 50% market share to hold monopoly power, not that courts have actually ruled that way before. Furthermore, even if they had, it's not relevant to Epic's lawsuit because Epic is not alleging that Apple holds monopoly power in the smartphone market. Instead, they are alleging that Apple holds monopoly power in the specific sub-market of "distribution of apps on iOS devices" which they by definition have 100% control over.

Your device must support one of the common audio protocols to work in OBS (for Windows WASAPI for example). There's also an ASIO plugin available.

That is at least for Germany not entirely correct. If some train from some logistics provider embedded in some just-in-time supply chain scheme is delayed for what ever reason, it is prioritised (Though this is new, since maybe about 5 years?). Which means you are standing still for maybe 15 to 20 minutes somewhere 'out there' between stations, and can enjoy 3 freight trains overtaking you, and maybe horses, cows, or just the noise protection walls.

Chaos!

Anyways, this chaos is self inflicted by building back switches, which would enable a more granular partition of the tracks, and more flexible passing of trains.

All in all, our railways are indeed "'ne Lachnummer"(laughing stock).

OTHO not so ridiculous at all, considering the massive build back of infrastructure.

I wonder how to take this? Is it good to use these as a recommended approach? I would bet that there could be good examples and bad? Is any of these the leader in terms of approach used for their domain? (Graph databases for example).

Mishandling Covid.

Giving a fee pass to cow-urine-prevents-Covid bandwagon while planting stories about Jamaat being a conspiracy to spread Covid in India. This plays to their political base but has been recently called out by the court. Court has declared these to be cases of politically motivated misreporting.

Filling WhatsApp groups by fakenews and fake incidents of Muslims killing/burning/human-sacrificing Hindus to incite more communal violence which plays to the ruling parties narrative and a polarized society, the latter earns them more votes. Close ties with BJP cell and WA comes convenient.

Doing nothing to give protection to medical staff against violence (Covid related) other than platitudes. The perpetrators of such violence gets bail immediately, whereas university professors get jailed under made up charges of terrorism that conveniently do not require a proof in court and is nonbailable. Essentially throwing the medical staff under the bus for their own political gains.

Incarcerating sources of credible criticism by abuse of laws that do not require allegations to be proved in court.

Looking the other way while hate crime against Muslims and other beef eaters increases. Stopping the record of hate crime by government order, so that one cannot point to statistics.

Moving towards a "papers please" society.

I don't maintain the urls of the news I read so I don't have the links immediately available. However with a few hours on google, one should be able to get to the primary sources of the examples I have called out.
Edureka's database breached, 2M user records potentially at risk
Dutch public prosecutors used (until 2015) a software system called 'BOS/Polaris' for sentencing guidelines. This was an 'algorithmic' system in its most 'pure', CS/math meanings. It was a fairly simple deterministic software package that used a point-based system to go from objective (type of crime, first time offender or not etc) and some subjective (attenuating circumstances) criteria to a specific charge for a given case. This software was free to download (no source though), the 'rules' were based on a number of guidelines for various types of crimes that were published separately.

It was discontinued because apparently it was felt it didn't allow for enough of the 'subjective' aspect of it. The problem was also a bit that the software had slowly become less 'guiding' and more 'the norm', where judges and prosecutors felt they had to really justify deviating from the outcomes of the software. I imagine that could have been solved with a more tunable parameter for how much to weigh the 'subjective' part, but that would open another can of worms of course; and it's also a philosophical issue, so I imagine that a lot more went on behind the scenes that the general public will never know.

Anyway, that system would never be put under the umbrella 'algorithms' nowadays. That has shifted to ML/stats systems where the 'morally problematic' part of the algorithm are really the 'neural network weights' (or regression coefficients, depending on how impressed you are by raw processing power over system understanding... but that, again, is a philosophical issue).

To rephrase: my position is that the problem people have with what they call 'algorithms' isn't really the algorithms at all (nobody who talks about this problem, at this abstraction level, cares abour gradient descent vs simulated annealing), but the parameters to the resultant models and how those parameters were estimated; specifically what data was used to make those estimates.

I personally really despise this, in my view, dumbing down of the matter and muddying of the terminology and hence issue, but then again nobody asked me when 'hacker' was rebranded from 'a specific type of technical intellectual curiosity' to 'computer criminal', so...
