I did that, and it was. :) I wrote some (incomplete) type inference code for Joy (a Forth-like functional language) and that (among other things) led me to Prolog. I was surprised how simple it is both syntax and semantics. ( https://joypy.osdn.io/notebooks/Types.html ) I eventually reimplemented Joy in Prolog and discovered that the type inference code was identical to the interpreter code! ( https://git.sr.ht/~sforman/Thun/tree/master/source/thun.pl )

For anyone looking to implement a Prolog Paul Tarau has an interesting approach: "A Hitchhiker’s Guide to Reinventing a Prolog Machine"

> It’s one of their weirder decisions. You can’t claim to be privacy king while simultaneously doing something like this. Maybe this is caused by Apple departments being siloed. The privacy champions are in a different silo?

They never claimed to be the 'privacy king'. They just suggested it, and people took the bait.

Apple is a company, and as such are only allowed to care about their bottom line. If privacy aligns with their bottom line, they'll use it for easy advertisement and goodwill, but if it doesn't then they'll forego privacy just as easily.
In machine learning there is the concept of a generalization bound where you can determine if your model has successfully generalized without reference to a validation dataset. In which case, your training and real world dataset can be the same.
Yeah, several of people I played with using various games over the years had this issue.

I even had it too when I used cell Internet, but cell ISPs have a better excuse.

Quite frankly the "all your money will go to healthcare" meme doesn't really apply to the kind of person who's leaving Canada for a much high-paying US tech job. A person like that will in all likelihood be working for an employer that offers access to equal or _better_ health insurance than they would have access to in Canada. If it's a big tech company the employer will pay virtually all of the premiums beyond some token amount, and out-of-pocket maximums are dramatically lower than the incremental pay raise. And even if the employer didn't pay that, the premiums would still be dwarfed by the pay raise.

Rent is certainly higher in the Bay Area, though less higher now vs. a year ago, and even so, at the income levels we're talking here (especially if going to FAANG or a unicorn), there is very little chance you'll end up with less disposable income after rent and health care.

If you want to buy a property, you have your work cut out for you since real estate is insanely expensive, though. It's not too hard if you're a dual-income high earner couple but very hard otherwise and will take a number of years of savings. This is worse than the Vancouver/Toronto housing markets, but it's less worse than you think given how crazy they are now.

I always assumed that Whatsapp keeps the logs of call / messaging (i.e who texted to whom, how many times etc), however according to the this document, it does not keep them. Moreover, it does not share neither group information nor contacts. If this is really the case, it is quite better than most people think. I just wonder, though, why do they need to keep EU out of this latest ToS update and what does Whatsapp share with Facebook?
Maybe its because "privacy champion" is nothing but their marketing. They don't care about their users or their privacy one bit.
This is the usual hypocrisy of european politicians.

Things are ok and not problematic when it is them that do it because they have the power. But when they are the subjects of similar things, then they don't like and want to have this power for them.

There is a very good and ironic example of that in France:

The former president Nicolas Sarkozy created and pushed a lot of nefarious 'security' laws when he was president. For example, the possibility for police to monitor phone calls without a warrant and things like that.

To critics, he was replying that the state is 'trustful' and that only bad people could fear for their privacy.

Back now, a few years later, police wiretapped a phone line that he opened under a fake name to secretly discuss about another police investigation that is currently targeting him and he allegedly used this line to abuse of authority and try to get insider knowledge from law officials in exchange for a special position.

At his trial and in medias, he cried everywhere that it is unfair and abused that his phone lines could have been wiretapped like that to provide evidences against him. Like if he is a victim and not the person that pushed these bad security laws against the population despite a lot of critics of people concerned by freedom and privacy topics.
Obviously they wanted to cause disruptions, just like any BLM or environmentalist action. That is not the same as taking over government.
Sufficiently complex math is able to synthesize speech and draw pictures. Yes, complex math is able to predict the behavior of the quantum world. So what? OpenGL is also able to predict realistic pictures. Is knowledge in OpenGL mechanics will improve our knowledge in the physics?

My teacher told me, that I will really know physics when I will be able to derive my own equations. I extended this definition to "I will really know physics when I will be able to create the physical model of a physical thing, to be able to watch it with my own eyes".
There's always a time cost with financial things, at least. Some tax authority probably expects you to track and report that income, and will want their share.

Possibly You are right, it is very hard for me to comprehend what goes on inside the mind of an addict. I would say for arguments sake that the addict is also aware of the damage that they are doing to others but unfortunately the desire for the drug overpowers any sense of morality. Short of locking them up which then puts the burden and guilt on the rest of us, or making all drugs legal and free, I am not sure what would work. Like I said my thoughts are quite conflicted with this matter.

My personal solution although fairly selfish is to avoid getting into and breaking away from any relationship if and when it becomes apperant that someone is using.
I click yes to new policy changes in most of the software. It is not possible to read and understand exact details of every forty page long agreement, especially because a lot of information is omitted for legal reasons or masked by a vague formulas. And it is also almost impossible to deny new changes, because it means that you need to stop using a service and most of the time it is required by outside forces, e.g. work or relatives, or a service is a monopoly, either legally monopoly or monopoly in spirit, where alternatives can't be used.

I just assume that all my information is already sold, regardless of the company brand. We lost this war for privacy.

The speed of this seems highly top-down, and given that almost all of these actors are the 500 pound gorillas of their respective verticals, it means the overall effective policymaking slice of the population is astonishingly small.

You don't need to take my word for it. You just need to look around at how the mindset of people in the upper echelons. Everyone knows and is interconnected with each other, and sees everyone else as holding a gun to their heads, and is dependent on things staying stable and not going violent. Unfortunately, the way everything was handled (without transparency, waving on technicalities) all but ensures ill sentiment. I din't support the Ingrate in Chief. But there is a way you Irish Bar Toss someone out of office without cheesing off half the constituency, and we didn't do it. So... This is what happens.

Yes, let's all centralize and commercialize everything and stop making software that you can self host.
I imagine this VR OS-Shell will be a VR space that represents your personal system behind the scenes. Eventually I want to be able to connect to other systems I own and manipulate files via 9P (for example).

There'd be a workbench for manipulating code and a filing cabinet for browsing files.
You'd mount a sourcefile on the workbench and manipulate its AST.
There will be a way to add a 2D/3D scene to your project and open a viewport into it as you are manipulating its source code and assets.

Longterm vision is to add a door to a public scene, a lobby if you will, for allowing other users in, with an airlock (to allow multiple users to enter together as a party) to enter your exhibited scenes.

Later there could be another door added to the lobby to connect all the lobbies with a public and open space.

So there are:

personal spaces: e.g. your workbench, only authenticated users have access

private spaces: your lobby and standalone systems in the public space, here you can invite friends over to explore an experience you built together. I think if monetization comes into play you will have to authenticate yourself with your public key to enter a payed-experience.

and one public space: the world, (you would be anonymous here) you can set up standalone systems that run private spaces with experiences for passersby to explore. The location of said systems should be a function of their proximity to you in regards to lag.

Well. Something like that ^^
I think Signal should bundle a simple on-screen keyboard, similar to the way banks etc... do it.

It always felt weird to me that while I trust Signal developers, all of the text input into the app goes through an on-screen keyboard that might or might not be secure.

So basically, on android, while your data doesn't go to Facebook anymore, as far as I can tell it still goes to Google via the keyboard app. Doesn't it?

EDIT: It feels to me like a missing piece, but maybe I'm wrong. Please educate me if I am, it's a genuine question :)

Why would a google phone be any less likely to be listening than a google home?
That's a good question. I regularly get interested in e-readers but one key point in your question is affordable. Kobo readers [1] look promising. Especially the biggest one Kobo Forma (8") but it's far from cheap (280€).

In general, what deters me from e-readers is the lack of a nice way to annotate (with handwriting). I get the problem with EPUBs but it should be fine with PDFs.

Generally, EPUBs are a problem for technical books where I want the figures to properly match the corresponding text. Plus some figures are bigger than the screen (have to be so). And reading PDFs is a problem for the same screen size reason...

The best I can think of is Sony's gigantic DPT-RP1 [1] and it seems to have perfect handwriting support. But at almost 800€, I really don't call this affordable.

I highly doubt it - what are you basing this on? I personally don't know a single person who actually pays for discord. Most people I know who use Teamspeak pay for it. That being said, Discord is way more popular than Teamspeak, it does remain to be seen if they can heavily monetize.
I would have thought so, too. But I know for certain that with enough accurate measurements around a network, you can determine the location of an unknown with pretty good accuracy. I've seen it done.
Agreed. The core services are working very well and business decisions because of this new market opportunity can drive them to pivot to something totally different.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, and I'm sure this is very positive news. But one question I didn't find an answer to in the press release: what's the value of using mRNA for flu vaccine? Will it result in a safer or more effective vaccine? Be cheaper and easier to produce? Something else?

I (mostly) understand the mRNA process, just curious about why it'd be superior.
If they consider Facebook cool, they don't seem to have an ethics issue with Facebook in the first place ...

I don't see a way out of this that doesn't include government-funded technology services.

If Twitter is a free speech platform to be used by the people, there is no way to exercise that consistently without violating Twitter's rights.

I know the US built a public postal service because we saw mail delivery as a requirement for a functioning country. Is the infrastructure necessary to run an Internet now falling into the same category?

Chinese startup leaked scraped data exposing 200+M Facebook, IG and LI users
Yeah I've never understood the attitude of wanting someone like Intel to fail.

If they start pushing back with strong performing CPUs it will only increase competition and help push Apple and AMD even further.

Not sure why people think an AMD monopoly would be any better than the intel we've seen over the past 5 years.

If they lose their main competitor they'd take their foot off the gas on performance / process improvements & start to focus more and more on the bottom line alone, it's just natural.
In recent times, yes. The left and the right have collectively agreed that discourse is dead. That leaves everyone in between scratching their heads.

The beautiful thing about your comment is that you assume I have some indefensible, reductionist view of the world. I don't. I've provided examples on this website of that violence and the divisive rhetoric.

Compared to the power that the ability to arbitrarily deplatform people is giving to effective monopolies like Twitter, I'd definitely rather have the government be able to force companies to do business with anyone. There's clearly less potential for abuse in the latter.
I would put it more as "Intel didn't do poorly this round" if all holds true to the information we have so far. AMD still hasn't overtaken them in low core count performance in the laptop space and this should hold them off from doing that until at least Zen 4 (late Fall-ish or so) or open Intel up more time to continue changing its momentum if Zen 4 falters any. In this space the M1 is still miles ahead both (i.e. AMD/Intel can generally match the performance or the power budget with their latest designs but the M1 can do both at the same time). On the desktop side the Rocket Lake S should just eek out Zen 3 on single core performance albeit ~6 months (or about half a product cycle) later. Certainly good news for Intel as it keeps them from being steamrolled in a single year but that means AMD still has higher momentum, a time advantage on the next release, a guarantee that TSMCs new 5nm process they want to use works (as used in the M1), and a significantly better many core position.

AMD has their presentation shortly but I wouldn't expect more than news on Zen 3 mobiles (which may dampen Intel's presentation a bit but probably won't outdo them) and Zen 3 Epyc (server, likely to wipe the floor) this early into it on the CPU side.

Twitter has long standing habit to remove threads, users and hashtags sending threats. And not just right wing ones, while there were left protests during summer, they were constantly removing left leaning accounts calling for violence.

It is simply not true that Twitter would generally refused to remove calls for violence or harassments - at least among its English speaking users.
> But maybe the most important thing is that we have to do an actual teardown of the product in order to have some confidence that Amazon is not lying on it's Echo capabilities.

If you want to call a congress person an asshole, tell me that America isn't the greatest country in the world, say that the President is a treasonous tool then yes I will absolutely defend your right to say that, and more.

The minute it turns to violence, insurrection and death I will make sure the authorities know exactly where to find you. And if these actions violate a Terms of Service that you agreed to, you reap what you sow.

You being the generalized you.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences. Parler knew exactly what they were doing and who they were courting. As the saying goes, "well, well, well. if it isn't the consequences of my own actions".
'"The reality, however, was that for one set of tests, the failure rate was 51.3 per cent. What does that mean? Prosecutors explain: “In other words, Theranos’s TT3 blood test results were so inaccurate, it was essentially a coin toss whether the patient was getting the right result. The data was devastating.”'

Slightly worse than a coin toss, even after accounting for the inherent bias in a flipped coin :-)
I think we are at a point with electronics and connectivity that trust is all consumers really have. Your average joe isn't going to think too hard about how they work, and they also lack the skills to assess it themselves.

It's not a problem without prior art though, and other industries have had to find solutions such as certifications, regulatory bodies etc. Think of medicine, food, vehicle saftey standards and the like. I'm not an electrical engineer but I can trust my fridge to draw what it says it will, because I know it's been through the regulatory processes to get to market and be stickered with the 4 star energy rating.

I think at this point we might need a privacy and ethics regulator for technology, with a certification program.

Imagine that search results were picked by humans, and the particular human that answered these queries had no idea that Google owned YouTube and just thought that YouTube was a better result. It isn't necessarily the best result and Google is responsible for it, but it doesn't strike me as anti-competitive or any sort of legal issue.

If Google tweaks the algorithm (or tells their human rankers) to prefer Google properties then it is an abuse of power and something that I think is morally wrong.
I think that the surprise here was more about the financials than the morals. Depending on state, after you marry you become liable for your partners debts, and the property you came into the marriage with may become common property that can be siezed to pay them.
