For software development, I don't quite see it, because what we are building is not really a 2D or 3D thing but more conceptual (not sure what the right word would be). Visualizations help to understand and troubleshoot a system, but for the actual changes or additions I see more potential in NLP to communicate intent to the computer that it then turns into code rather than different GUIs. 3D GUIs I reckon would be similar to visual programming languages in a sense that they are really useful for certain use cases and to interact with a lower level system, but don't universally replace the environments we currently have.

Where I think 3D has much more potential, is using something like google glass or full on VR headset to augment what is seen in the "real world" in professional settings.

E.g. a couple years back I had a conversation with my sister who is anesthetist (at the time in the heart surgery department if I remember correctly) about them experimenting with robotically-assisted and remote surgery. If you only see what you are working on trough a camera where depth perception can be problematic, I could see it beneficial to have real time overlays to outline shapes or other augmentations to what you are seeing.

Also there might be interesting things in manufacturing, like showing you if you are within tolerances during assembly or have some algorithms/AI running over it to highlight aspects that seem out of the normal.

But in either case it might well be more distraction that actually useful for those people.

No. There's some evidence that Homo sapiens, after distributing itself, had some degree of regional admixture from archaic hominids, which may be what you're thinking of.

I guess the gotcha is in "preventing, identifying, disrupting, and reporting X", which seems impossible to do when communication is encrypted end to end.
The image search experience is definitely superior to Google. Google image search is like trying to navigate the Pinterest UI without an account.

Especially so with a language like Rust, IMO. Its type system is powerful enough that you kind of can do it, but it gets awkward pretty quickly. In some ways that's a dangerous combo!

>But that wouldn't happen in a distro-packages environment, because the distribution would ensure that everything was built against the same version of the library.

This does not ensure that the library is compatible with the package, it only ensures that it builds.

>And flatpak is yet another case of that - doing their own incompatible thing instead of fixing what's there already.

They are working on standards that would improve things regardless of whether you're in a container or not. For example, the flatpak portals generally work just as well if you don't use flatpak at all, so apps don't care if they are inside our outside it.

This is part of the Freedesktop initiative on various things around Linux, which is already followed by quite a majority of desktop apps (and CLI apps), so there is a standard that improves things as they are.

Portals give you a standard way to interact with the user and the system that don't rely on distro specific patches.

Yes, that's one useful option, in cases where those contracting work or buying services want to or know about using it. But does Transferwise also have a tendency to engage in Paypal's now famous other habit of randomly freezing accounts (with all funds held for weeks or even months sometimes) for ambiguous claims of suspicious activity? This too is yet another one of this dumpster fire's habits

I'm not sure. Using a chatbot to triage support, or perhaps even actually provide first, or even second line support, is probably going to make for a net saving at scale. even if it's slightly leaky.

Would be very careful about where to use it though.
You definitely wouldn't want to deploy such a product in a critical service context, without some kind of human marshal.

Something comparatively trivial though. Perhaps like, a super intuitive insurance comparison widget, that takes natural language as an input.

Sure, some joker will go off piste, and try to jerk the bot, but in those circumstances, customers are there for a reason.

There are of course, already products that do the insurance comparison thing, but there are a few markets, with a similar dynamic, that need a little bit more than good UX to coax requirements and data out of users.

Something like this could probably do it.

So you are saying in the UK absolutely nobody is working but getting 80% of their salary?
I mentioned as well it just was quick thought off the top my head. However, then you have the question can you trust the dice. It's a lot easier to trust math.

I could sit down try to figure out a construction that adjusts/accounts for any given N judges. Again though like I said this was just quick thought off the top of my head showing it seems possible to make a construction that can choose judges. Not something with every possible detail refined.

However, modular bias becomes smaller the larger your max number gets. We are not talking a small 32 bit random generator here. While it would be ideal to eliminate the bias it's not exactly easy. One could try the method of re-rolling/generating till you get an output in the target range. This has a massive problem because it is improbably at the scale of these numbers. Secondly, one can't control the modulo N in this case. There are things we can try to smear the bias, but that does not eliminate it.

Moreover, as mentioned before the scale of max output works in our favour here. The larger your max output/range is the smaller the bias is. Anyways there is a reason the CPRNGs will just truncate their output when you tell one to return X bytes. The range of possible bias is so small because how large cryptographic numbers are. Although some algorithms max output is a power 2 so the modulo N works out nicely.

The worst a bias like this can do is make partitioning cryptanalysis stronger, but unless you made some really bad choices generally should only be a theoretic break. At which point your designing primitives and not a protocol. However, that part we are using the modulus on is not secret so we are not gaining/losing anything there. For this instance it's just extremely tiny bias towards a certain judge.

Hello! If I can round up enough public domain children's books, I'll certainly add a kids category. Thanks for the suggestion!
There are several arguments listed at the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy[0]; namely, the argument from animal suffering, the argument from animal killing, the argument from environmental damage, and the argument from harm to humans. These are compatible not just with utilitarian moral frameworks, but a variety of metaethical theories.

I'm not aware of any theory which has convincingly been able to show that animals are not worthy of moral consideration (but all humans are). Similarly, I'm not aware of any theory which successfully argues that human pleasure from eating meat outweighs the suffering of the animals (without also applying to a variety of human behaviours). Justification like that usually entails that the suffering is necessary, yet moral vegetarianism does make any claim as far as people who need to eat meat (or at least purchase meat or kill animals) for dietary reasons.

Where can I learn more about these ingenious math models in a way that an adult can understand, but one that's been out of math for a while? Is there a good YouTube video?

I'm searching but it's coming up with many hour-long lectures by Roger Penrose that seem unrelated to the specifics of thise prize

I catch myself sometimes trying to call out "Hey, Google" if I need something (not just information), even if I'm not in the room it's installed in. It's honestly disturbing, and I feel brainwashed. They have encoded their brand name in my conditioning, and that's the part that makes me extra salty about this.
MS is just as capable of tracking as Google through the operating system. It's definitely branding and the only substance to it is that Google is the bad guy.
I've always thought of typing lessons as being a thing from long before computers. Back then it was treated as a serious skill which could lead directly to employment. Now it's just something you're expected to know.

I had plenty of basic IT education at school, but was never taught how to type at all.
the answer is in the article you linked. he expected (correctly) that his equity was going to be worth considerably more after the IPO, so he renounced his citizenship before that happened. I have no idea what mcafee's portfolio looks like, but I'd guess he's not in the same situation. plus like he said, he doesn't feel obligated to pay taxes in the first place.
>- block access ala GFW, ensuring that most people will have difficulty accessing it or using it

depending on sofistication of that solution you could imagine some forms of tunnelling to be efficient against that (IP-over-X). Then of course due to the complexity this workaround will be used by a tiny fraction of users.

>- block access to any data you cannot decrypt or from an endpoint you cannot backdoor

steganography would be a solution to this, you can decrypt the cat pictures I'm exchanging with friends but you may not be able to notice that those images have hidden content (which may also be encrypted)

>- do nothing, knowing that most users will avoid using anything that isn't one of the major web platforms

this seems to be a guaranteed-to-succeed solution. Probably much better than

>- run some kind of propaganda campaign on the evils of using unsanctioned software (supporting terrorism etc.)

since there is always a risk that this may backfire and encourage resistance in some groups

The same type of penalty that would be appropriate to impose upon anyone else just "doing their job".

- A security worker being told to throw someone of color out of the store because management thinks "those people" cause problems.

- A mob enforcer breaking someone's kneecap because they didn't pay their "bill".

Somewhat on end of extreme, but... if your job has you doing things that are wrong, then you are doing wrong. The fact that someone else said to do it, or said that it's ok, doesn't make it ok.
Funny, I'm using an old iPhone 5s for music, podcast or audio book--no mobile chip, just Wifi. I can also take calls from my new iPhone (2020 SE). It's a whole new life for this 5+ yro fone.

Just two days ago I was watching a DVD on MacMini + CinemaDisplay wishing for an App to make my wired headphones 'wireless'. This trackpad hack could use some wireless connectivity, too.
Does it? I think it should treat everything as a string since it can't be certain about the correct type. It could also suggest the correct type rather than applying it without user confirmation.
First off, I “hate” Excel, but only because people misuse it. It, like so many other products of its kind, are for numbers! Yet I would be hard-pressed to find someone actually using it for numbers. People absolutely insist on using it as a generic table system for holding non-number data.

I recently had to show a 20+ year Excel-using fanatic how to import data from a CSV file so that they could select as type Text columns that contain leading zeros. The ability exists, but I have found scant few people who know how to actually use the product properly.

Oh, and I also work in healthcare.
So you audit the software. Then you enter the voting booth, and there's a voting machine in front of you. Bet your democracy it's running the same software?

This is a great idea and exactly how I learned to touch-type when I was a teenager.

I would keep a book open in front of me and type the sentences in Microsoft Word as I was reading them.

Glad to see this process made seamless with your site. :)
This is an absolutely fantastic idea. I have tried many times to sit down and train my typing but it's always incredibly boring.

I'm a rather fidgety person too, so it's actually quite nice to have something for my hands to do while I'm reading!
I see this kind of whataboutism almost every time people discuss the ethics of meat consumption and the surrounding industries. If growing plants commercially kills animals in the process then that's something else to examine but it doesn't change the fact that meat based industries are usually incredibly cruel.
> Currently, they do. That could change in the future but right now when people spend money on media they're merely buying some company's permission to enjoy some content. That permission can be revoked at any time and for any reason or no reason.

I think you are misunderstanding my point.

What I am saying is that most people's expectation of leasing/renting arrangements is such that there are protections in place to prevent the thing from being arbitrarily taken away.

However those protections don't exist for software services, only physical things like cars and apartments. Thus it is a violation of peoples' expectations that software services don't have those protections.

So it is not enough to simply tell them, "You don't own it and that's the problem". That does not fully explain the problem. In order to fully explain the problem you would need to explain how not only do you not own it, but ALSO there are no legal protections to prevent it from arbitrarily being taken away like a layperson might expect there to be such a situation.

> People aren't leasing content though. They're buying it. They buy books, they buy video games...

Earlier you just said that users don't own the content... so which is it?

Is that very different from Blender 2½ decades ago? It seems to be gaining more features, support, users, teachers, tutorials, etc. over time. Anecdotally my YouTube filter bubble has lots of small indie creators who’ve switched from Unity to Godot and are creating tutorials for it. Why would you assume Unity (and Unreal, which IUUC has little to do with .NET) will keep their mindshare and Godot not catch up?

The "boss mod" addons eventually caught up, but when you were among the first to get there, you could do a lot of additions/modifications yourself to make them better.

Great game, good times. Not anymore though from what I hear
Yes, I mean Excel. We have CSV to XLS import scripts/forms that format identifier cells as text. The data format is standardised. Using templates to do the imports was the dumb part. Microsoft has a Power BI tool if ones doesn't want to write or use scrips. Use that. I assume a government agency has the resporces to pay for it and for data scientists.

But no scientific reason why that is the case.

Which means that is just the usual line you put in papers to deflect criticism.

I like it a lot. But by saying that, don't get confused by the overall state Rust GUI applications are in: immature[0]. I have a background in native iOS and macOS development and this is another game. However I have not regretted choosing Rust for this project. I wanted to natively support both Windows, Linux and macOS and at the same time learn the language. This was my first proper Rust application and I've learned so much.

The limitation Iced has have actually done something good for the simplicity of Ajour. People are liking this simple look because the application is just a tool. There is no need for fancy animations.

For a popular enough protocol, if there is an underspecified thing then there will be two implementations that implement that thing differently, and if possible, incompatibly. And I am talking about correctly programmed and compliant implementations, never mind the buggy and/or deliberately non-compliant implementations (cf. Microsoft's "No standard or clause in a standard has a divine right of existence" stance). That's why the designer should not leave the implementers any rope whatsoever to strangle themselves, especially in cryptography.

Hey that sounds like a solid idea -- I might just give that a try!
I don't think it was that clear-cut. Having had experience with low quality home-grown software, Hayden was a proponent of buying rather than building. Rather than struggle to hire good developers on government salaries, he took advantage of contracting to bring in well paid people to do the job well. Only, guess what...sometimes you don't manage to get what you pay for.
