I am so thankful that Rust has Cargo. It is the only place where missing dependency hunts never happen. One day I hope every other language can have something that good.

What has any of the "Hyperloop" projects to show for their investments, other than very expensive pod trains?
Many people use yubikeys, for example. As a user, i declare ownership over these keys. I buy these. They become mine. And i use them then for authorization.

So it is a mix, i would argue. For machines it is just important to identify you. And in the past, so i have read the users, they all want to get away from password authorization. Just make the darn thing recognize me. (and sometimes not)
It is a very true abstraction to hold to - add on top of that the ability to replay queues from some type of memory and you have the basics of computer architecture.
You’d think there’d be a very simple solution to this—one that I believe Google already used for a long time, but just never generalized.

That approach: “proof of human work.” Google owns ReCAPTCHA, and every time you do a ReCAPTCHA for Google, you’re doing a little one-time proof-of-humanity for them. But it’s also a proof-of-work; and proofs-of-work that cannot be automated are aggregatable.

In other words, the fact that someone with Google account X solved a ReCAPTCHA, doesn’t just tell you something about who that account is lately. It should add to a sort of “human-proof credit score” for the account, where Google’s systems are more willing to put faith in the user because of all the times they’ve proven themselves human already.

And, for some scenarios, Google does use the aggregate proof ReCAPTCHA represents this way. This is why you’ll never see the Google Search “stop searching so fast” message when accessing Search through Chrome synced to a well-used Google account; why you’ll get a ReCAPTCHA portal from them instead if you’re not logged in (you’re being asked to build the credit score of your IP/session); and why you’ll be denied upfront if you perform botlike behavior through Tor (where there’s nothing that can be correlated to give you a persistent credit score.)

Now, such a “highly-proven” Google account could still be heuristically detected elsewhere in Google’s systems as being responsible for botlike behavior (e.g. spamming); but, when such a highly-proven account is flagged, it should go in for manual review. Because — as you say — this is incredibly rare! So this process doesn’t need to scale through automation, the way regular Google processes do. It can be high-touch.

But right now, it’s not. (Or they’re just not even using the high-proof-of-humanity metadata on the account during this determination.) Either way, that’s kind of silly.
I enjoyed this article quite a bit, thanks for sharing!

> The exact reasons and mechanisms that might explain our findings, though, are currently unknown.

So they haven’t nailed down causation. Wonder if people who eat chili pepper generally consume less food because of the spiciness.
It would seem really out of character for Apple to make a move in the server space.
Thank you for the detailed reply.
Between free curbside parking, the amount of government budget given to maintain roads compared to the amount for rail, the term “jaywalking” (an invention of car manufacturers), it sure seems like cars are enforced on everyone. Take those away and then how convenient are cars?
>What's the real reason Apple can design a higher performance device?

Everyone else with the immediate capability are professional ball-droppers.
Realistically, expect innovation in the compression algorithm space as research shifts to communicating as much information with as few bits of user signalling as possible. Possibly innovation in encoding or extra contracts that make it possible for information to be encoded through background cell tower/wifi network traffic.
I would just prefer a screen-size-dependent menu bar. It would be actually nice to have large menus on huge screens but they should waste little space on a small laptop.

Oddly they “sort of” had this in very early scaling experiments, back in the days before Retina where Quartz Debug could scale to many sizes (1.5x, etc.). When those modes were enabled, the menu bar and menus had nicely scaled-up sizes and fonts. Not sure why they never enabled that.
I made an app that lets you compare duck-duck-go results with that of google, side by side [0][1].

One thing I found is how bad ddg is at removing conspiracy theories and other misinformation. Google is, for better or for worse, much more managed. For instance, search "are vaccines dangerous", google replies with .org and .gov sites, while ddg promotes dangersofvaccines.com. Even if you search "dangers of vaccines" in google, it still never produces that site.

I'd say, we converse with others, so that we could be more polarized / differentiated with respect to others. Only then we can have our own perspectives. Until that, we run in circles.
You may be interested in looking at Korean. It was designed by one of their emperors and would honestly take you about two hours to learn. You could then read any Korean printed word.

Mind you, you wouldn’t know what it means but you could read and badly pronounce it.

The rest of the language and pronunciation isn’t super easy for western speakers but reading is literally than a day.

Super, super weird take considering that Intel's main competitors are all within walking distance of their Santa Clara HQ.
Well it isn't like XMPP has died or something. There are hundreds of servers and lots of clients. Having the Matrix project doesn't take away from that in any way. If Matrix becomes popular then it could supersede XMPP which is OK.

Right now it is federated vs everything else really. There is no reason to think that Matrix is suddenly going to be used by regular people where XMPP was not. The bigger issue here can't be solved by purely technical means.
I am not sure what Intel can do to come back to a strong position.

Afaik, all of Nvidia, Apple and Qualcomm (dunno about AMD) pay significantly higher wages than Intel.

If Intel is starting off on the back foot and cannot get top talent, then their decline is all but guaranteed.
It’s not, if you’ve ever worked with actual workstations.

I’m talking Silicon Graphics, not Dell.
They had near perfect desktop UI, and they just had to butcher it.

It’s not paranoia, it’s perfectly reasonable in the case of digital download being time to an email address 3rd party auth.
If the article had answered my question, I wouldn't have asked.
My guess until reviewers get their hands on the thing is that they've got some pretty good RnD alongside the massive process node advantage over Intel. AMD has already shown that there's a lot more performance in 7nm than we thought and the M1 looks like it'll be on-par with what you'd expect from zen 4, so I wouldn't say they've got any advantage from the architecture (as you'd expect)
That's kind of like saying software isn't part of the technology it controls. But the two are fairly inseparable.

If the software & control systems are specific & integral to the hardware they're attached to, it's part of the same package. If we were talking about a CNC laser cutter, the specialized software is also part of the package "CNC technology". You literally cannot have the first without the second. In Tesla's case, theirs seems to be better. Not that they haven't had problems: It's that they've already worked through a bunch of them, and as I understand it have come up with some novel innovations in the process.
The tone taken in Github issues can be really, really hostile. The very first thing a user sees in the issue template is a shouty headline about being blocked. There are many comments which come across to me as passive-aggressive such as https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/5675#issuecomment-46... or the last para at https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/5654#issuecomment-46... .

I appreciate that you have a near-impossible mission in helping diagnose people's installation issues. I don't envy you, and I appreciate the technical work you do. Few open source projects are immune from the challenges of burnout caused by ingrate users and Homebrew probably gets it worse than most. As a maintainer, I 100% get it. But as a user, it puts me off using the software. I now use Homebrew much less than I used to as a result.
What about LineageOS with a non-Google app store?
Intel dropped the ball on 10nm and 7nm processes constantly for the last 5 years.

Skylake was the "tick", then they couldn't "Tock" to 10nm, so they made 14nm+, then 14nm++, then 14nm+++... Intel's been stuck on the same process for half a decade now.

Sure, a monopoly is a great business... everybody wants to be the owner of that.

The problem is... what if you are not?

Now these government guys can extract all the profits from their clients because there is no other choice.
I’ve heard before that this might be explained as: people who eat chilies tend to eat a greater variety of food (more vegetables) than people who don’t (meat and potatoes - they have their place, but should not be your go-to meal).

Good Indian food, for example, is very easy to enjoy vegetarian, as the explosion of flavors makes up for the lack of meat.

Disclosure: I’m a part-time vegetarian.
For anyone interested in Principia, I would recommend S Chandrashekhar( The Nobel laureate in Physics), 'Principia for the Common Reader'.
You probably consume less food in general or less fattening when it's spiced with peppers (i.e. less likely to eat spicy butter cream that plain butter in a dish and more likely to eat spicy soups that butter laden croissants). They haven't actually isolated anything about peppers, so likely something in the underlying population who self-selects this way.

The problem is that it doesn’t really work, because if next time they somehow log in with their email/Twitter/Facebook/Apple ID instead, it will make a new, totally unrelated account, and all their stuff will be mysteriously gone for no apparent reason.
That's a pretty good synopsis.
Intel is losing to TSMC most of all, in the manufacturing front.

Intel needs to reach 10nm and 7nm, and they needed to do that 5 years ago.
while the report is clearly written to support masking mandates, they do provide the (counter-)explanation on page 3:

> "As in our August report, we stress that areas with masking requirements also have seen greater changes in other community behavior (e.g., lower mobility to higher-risk points of interest) and may also have other virus mitigation strategies in place, so the observed relationship is likely not just about masking."

the mitigative effects of the masking order is drowned out by concurrent, confounding mitigations, which aren't detailed unfortunately. i'd contend that the concurrent effects of a masking order is likely very minor (<10% of the overall effect), because distancing and reduced social interaction does the overwhelming bulk of the work, but that data is left out of the report.

that's not to say masks are always useless; they have a critical role in (health-)care settings and for essential workers who interact closely with many other people daily. but that's a tiny slice of daily interactions and a nuance that gets drowned out by the mediopolitical machine incentivized by conspicous credit, not solution (biden is already doubling-down, talking about a national mask mandate as his first order of business).

the report includes some other interesting (counter-)information (like the counter-effectiveness of "Safer At Home" orders as exhibited in figure 2), but i'll leave it there for now.
It is eye-candy, but it's also useful for finding your way around if different apps look different.

Some apps need every pixel they can get for content, but some don't, and those ones can show some personality.
There’s just one missing detail here: intel was terribly, terribly bad at executing its plan. Tiger lake was supposed to be here on 10++nm or 7nm or whatever much improved process, which would make it extremely competitive if not the absolute best. Intel very well knew they’re in trouble if the expected process upgrades don’t work and they didn’t. It’s not like folks there don’t know how to plot that core vs Apple silicon performance graph.
Yes, that's the default stub or you can use the linker's "/STUB" flag to specify alternative DOS code to link into your windows exe.

Or heck even just the general purpose chip space in general.

Apple's current ARM offerings are strictly locked to their own hardware, and there's been no hints that they may move into the ARM-PC space selling general purpose chips and letting other vendors produce board. I'd expect to see that first before an Apple silicon powered server.
Honestly? A lot of it has to do with the fact that they booked TSMC's entire 5nm production capability for some time.

So they are working on a smaller process node than their competitors, and they used their market position to ensure that they will be the only ones using it for a little while. That gives them a significant leg up.
That's a cool site, you should submit it to "Show HN" if you haven't already :)

Not sure if your site is taking the location into account, but when I do the "are vaccines dangerous" search on the search-compare website, I get .gov and .edu domains as the top 5 hits or so.
>That is factually untrue. The war began when North Korea invaded South Korea.

Which led to almost everything that happened in my post, the UN had already refused to acknowledge China. Nothing factually untrue in it at all.

>it chose to do so fully aware of the consequences of supporting North Korea and Kim Il-sung.

Mao called the decision blackmail at the time, and it's a fairly apt description. Imagine the hell that would be raised if China helped a Mexican despot and marched an army to the US border.
As someone who worked on Intel's phone chip: we definitely didn't win it. We fucked it up twelve ways to Sunday. Why: giant egos. There were turf wars between Austin, Santa Clara and Israel over who would design it, and the team that won out had long since lost its best principle engineers and had no clue how to spin the architecture to meet the design win. Otellini's hindsight hedge is pure spin: we knew the landing zone, we just didn't know how to get there. And the aforementioned turf war guaranteed we didn't get access to other teams' talent. I'm bitter because it was a really fun team when I moved from Motorola to Intel Austin, and then it just corroded over political battles.
Their only competitors that really matter are in Taiwan and South Korea. Fabs are harder than chip design.
We know they have tens of thousands of linux boxes running iCloud and the App Store and whatever else... if they can use their own ARM servers and reduce electricity use by 50%[1], you've gotta think they're looking serious at that, purely for themselves.

Not to mention buying their own hardware will obviously save them.

Apple’s Xserves were awesome. Not cheap. Only marginally competitive. But a joy to work with because of all the nice little details like a FireWire port on the front so you could boot it off of an iPod.
Imagine a vulnerability in the password manager extension that allows a hacked site to fill in and scrape every login stored in the password manager.
Yeah there could but that's not how ICE are sheduled most of the time.
But there could also be 4 tubes stacked, or your security distance reduced.

Your whole capacity argument is based in the "acceptable amount of lives lost".

If you're ok with the same amount of lives lost in a catastrophic hyperloop accident, as with a catastrophic ICE accident and assuming that everyone perishes in case of a hyperloop accident (unrealistic but let's go with it), then that would be 101 lives. Which gives us 3.6 times as much capacity for the hyperloop, or 3030 passengers per hour per tube.

Say you stack 4 tubes, that's 12120 passengers per hour between two points compared to 8400 passengers for your ICE case.

And that still completely ignores the multi rout load balancing, last mile convenience, small village connection and no waiting time advantages gained from packet routing.
I don't see Apple selling their chips.
"Empathy - the ability to share someone else's feelings or experiences by imagining what it would be like to be in that person's situation"
I'd risk a statement, that it is actually impossible to take someone's else position. What one can do is precisely this - imagining someone's else position, which is a fiction (fueled by so called good intentions).
Where can I check which websites I looged in with google? I found https://myaccount.google.com/permissions?gar=1 but 26 apps is like 1/10 of what I have I think
When courts gatekeep criticism of politicians, that is fascist. Austria's history of fascism makes this even worse, since they of all people should know better.
I hear you.

Once you change your beliefs about what is required to achieve something. It’s not cold hard “facts”, but belief.

You must believe to see. Not see to believe. I stole this from a devote religious man and it has helped me greatly to take more risks and thus become more optimistic.

(I’m not religious)
Speaking as somebody who goes with mainstream expert opinion by default, I nevertheless think there's enough censorship from the big tech providers, at the very least let's have such "filter out stuff that annoys us" initiatives as optional.
Even if they developed the server tech, it seems they’d be more likely to just use it internally to power their services as opposed to trying to reach a whole new market that historically they aren’t very good at working in.
No not really, but if there is a 1 hr delay because of onerous terms and conditions then perhaps a person would think twice about what they are getting in to. Or if there was a 5 minute delay to read a single paragraph perhaps people may actually read it.
There’s still good reasons. Mine is using public computers (library or school), or being able to use any computer at work in private browsing mode.

It’s also trivial to have passwords which are secure and easy to remember (literally off the top of my head): MyD0gb@rk$...
I'm still waiting for my M1 to show up but from studying the details that other people have commented on, it's clear that Apple is slathering on the microarchitectural resources that both Intel and AMD are stingy with. Their core has a gigantic L1 instruction cache, rather a lot of L1 TLB entries (4x more than Intel), large(r) pages by default, and many other aspects. L1 TLB entries in particular are a well-known problem for x86 performance so it's a real mystery why Intel doesn't simply add more of them. x86 is probably married to 4K pages forever, because of god-damned DOS, whereas Apple can make the default page size be whatever they want it to be. People with high requirements can jump through a million hoops to get their x86 program loaded into hugepages, but on Apple's platform you're getting it for free.
That's one of the many bad effects of vertical integration success: if all the most profitable use cases are harvested by a vertically integrated dominator, very little development budget will be available for less closed hardware that can be integrated in niche use case solutions.
The minute I see "wasted space", I shudder. White space or negative space is important for usability. Not sure what your example is describing.
It's pretty file dialog-y utilitarian but you can have it group by album/artist and also has a unified search through the library. I haven't explored its AutoDJ feature.
They can't even manage to get their video player to work. Even your local news web sites, which ten years after YouTube still couldn't manage to consistently get a video to play in the browser, have figured it out by now. But Reddit? Nope. Requires me to hit the play button 3-4 times in order to start the video, stops randomly in the middle of the video, and "re-play" never works. I mean, we're almost in 2021! Developers, if you can't figure it out, just give up and embed YouTube.
Sounds to me like you’re falling right into the stigmatizing myth that the mentally ill are especially likely to be violent. Even calling them “the worst society has to offer”, and so far nobody is calling you on it. Presumably there would be some up front report and assessment of whether the person is exhibiting violent behavior. The actual “worst of society” should obviously be dealt with by police.
How on earth is this flamebait ?
The truth is that the double standards of the american media is an insult to the entire trump vote base and thats why they vote for him.

This is 100% objective from a french guy, i would vote bernie sanders if I was american. The extreme right in my country goes up for the exact same reason and people who think they are so smart by hating trump are arrogant and unable to see it's just tribalism from both side.

How can twitter think they have the right to hide some claims from one camp and not from the other when at the end of the day no one really has any fact at hand ?

I support the left ideas but they have no way to win if they dont have the regular people on their side or worse, despise them.
Hah, yes. It's as a like to joke with my boss (who has a good sense of humor) when asked to do something faster than reasonable:

"Well, if you're willing to accept an incompetent result, there's any number of things I could do very badly. If you'd like, you can fire 10 people & I'd happily accept their 10 salaries if I'm allowed to be bad at their jobs. If you insist on competence though, it's going to take more time"
> Most ppl here would know

Judging by the comments, apparently not.
Anecdotal: I am having trouble getting anyone (nerdy/techy or otherwise, but let's stick to Linux-y friends, I'm a Linux professional) to set up an account and actually use the service. Even the friends who are very privacy and security leaning in nature who might embrace what Matrix offers in this realm. I generally steer them towards the Element clients (web/phone) which are easy to use.

A few have created accounts, logged on, a chat or two then walked away, never really came back. The federated non-tech channels I'm in are pretty dead as well (hobbies and the like). Couple hundred people... maybe a post or two a month. Point being, it's not getting adopted outside of software/tech circles (almost every happening room/channel is based around some sort of software or tech solution) from what I can tell, so I end up having no use for it other than communicating with random folks ala IRC general chat.
You don't believe I'm sick so you won't provide me healthcare. Progressives even managed to convince my own family I was crazy.
