So perhaps I focused a little bit too much on model communication ability in the last comment, and not so much in intelligence.

To me, if you can operate on a model that you use to understand a bit of the world, serialize it into communication, and make it so that the other understands it, that evidences intelligence, but I agree that it is not a demonstration.
This comes with an app that you can use which is quite nice and can do bookmarks and has a sleep timer. I use bookmobile on iPhone also, but it is not very good.
But I have run 10.12.0 after installing 12.12.6. What models does this happen on?
> We require licenses for operating machinery like cars, and I truly, honestly, and without hyperbole think it's time we do the same for information technology.

That's a wildly more anti-freedom stance than anything even the big social media companies have done. At least they are just private companies exercising their right to control what goes on on their own platform, you're actually advocating for the modern equivalent of requiring all typewriters to be registered.
Thank you for the detailed comment!

Just want to address (1) quickly. As you've mentioned at the end of the parenthesized note, the reason I did not use `defer` here is to avoid the lock staying across the rest of the handler. I wanted to confine it to the datastore interaction.

Thinking more about this now and having read the comments, I'm considering to just hide the lock in TaskStore and avoid all these explicit locks/unlocks in handlers; it seems like it will avoid some confusion for folks reading the example (as well as quite a few lines of code!), and my goal here is really the HTTP server logic. I prefer to deflect any attention from TaskStore in this series of posts.
I doubt he knows what incitement to violence means[1], or can point to an example on parler. One of Apple's laywers probably told him to say that. But let's assume he does know and can point to some instances there.

Does he know there's incitement to violence elsewhere on the internet? Time for iOS and macOS to whitelist certain trustworthy ip blocks belonging to "reputable" internet companies which police content, and prevent apps from connecting anywhere else.

For our safety.

Please save us, Tim!

Mostly agree with a lot of this, but it's a little unfortunate to lump all WebAuthn authenticators together.

WebAuthn keys--physical dongles you plug into the USB port--are indeed problematic for the reasons the author notes. (A small--but user-visible--cost; the requirement for a spare USB port of the right form factor; loss.)

However, authenticators that are built into the client device (e.g. Apple's support for a TouchID-verified WebAuthn authenticator) solve these problems, to varying degrees: the user doesn't see a marginal cost (it's built into the computer!) and doesn't have to worry about loss, USB ports, etc.

The principle challenge with using (as an example) Safari's WebAuthn support is what how the relying party should support loss of the device. (If you lose your Safari--or claim to--how does your bank authenticate you?)

Ultimately, the lost-device--or new-device bootstrapping--problem is currently what stands in the way of a truly secure ecosystem, but with platform providers increasingly supporting WebAuthn, we can at least reduce phishing risk to "phishing of the platform provider credential." Your iCloud password might get stolen, but at least that's the _only_ thing an attacker can steal to gain access to your other accounts.

For most services, delegating authentication (and anti-phishing) to someone like Apple is a big plus.
It feels like an ugly hack that grpc-gateway sits on top of gRPC to support HTTP/1 when gRPC could have been written to support HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 from the beginning. Roughly, gRPC ~= protobuf (serialization & schema enforcement) + HTTP/2 + non-standard HTTP/2 (trailers, etc), and it is hard to believe that just as they standardized the non-standard bits, they couldn't have found a way to work over HTTP/1 (or HTTP/1.1 at least) with the flexibility available there.

gRPC feels to me like a violation/break in expectations of how the layers of abstraction are supposed to work -- gRPC works over HTTP/2, and it's weird that it translates a lower level (HTTP/1) at a higher level (gRPC) to re-encode it into something at the lower level. An appropriately robust protocol would simply support both lower levels of abstraction if it wanted to (and they were widespread in daily use), right?

The only places I feel like I see this kind of layer violations are in lower level networking and it generally just makes everything worse and more complicated there. Of course, I know that gRPC + gateway is actually not a huge deal in practice -- you've got reverse proxies like envoy that will do it for you automatically[0], but it just... doesn't sit great. The benefits of gRPC are not to be sneezed at (better performance, strict typing at the protocol level, schema enforcement, bidirectional streaming, etc), but it feels like it could have accomplished a lot of those goals without throwing out HTTP/1.1 completely (and then that machinery could have been reused to support HTTP/3).

I don’t think the OP is suggesting Apple have dominion over the word. But the word in combination with this UI would be difficult to defend in court.
> Buy a device, register it, install the app,

What u2f app is this referring to? I've never needed anything more than chrome to use u2f on windows or ubuntu. Also seems weird to complain about setting up an app, when a few sentences before that they recommend installing a password manager...
Because it's a magnetic port similar to magsafe.
As a beginner this is how I feel about much of the official documentation and why I often search in YouTube/blogs for someone else to provide me the digested version of the docs.

None the abstract concept stuff means anything to me quite yet, and it’s what I find about the most.

It’s as if my Mac user GF asked me about how to get something done in my Windows desktop and I start with the history of Microsoft and how different is their philosophy instead of telling her “Use CTRL instead of CMD and most of your shortcuts will work the same, and file explorer is your Finder”.
Until recently?

They were recently silenced down to the AWS hosting level.

I don't know if any of this has changed by now.

But censorship is never a good idea.
Rediscovering Bette Howland
Ok... but we know, for a fact now, that most of the Capitol Riots were planned on Facebook. Where is their slap on the wrist?

And, frankly, you can find truly awful stuff on Twitter without much searching. "Hang Mike Pence" was trending, for example. Twitter removed it from trending, but didn't delete tweets containing that phrase. Will AWS take them down for this?

Rules for thee but not for me.
I had an XPS that had both and indeed it was useless to have a port for just charging. But if the charging port is also used for magsafe that makes it worth it.
Aren't Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos both interested in this and their combined wealth around $200Billion? Seems like they have plenty of money to throw at this company even without outside investors/governments.
You're argument is a lazy argument that accepts the weaponization of free speech, which is even more scary. Parler was never about free speech. If you read up on its making, it was dark money, russian bots, alt-right hate groups and their cover is this absurdly stupid front of free speech that no alt-right fascist person actually wants. They just use it against you.
It is indeed not mobile friendly, but it is using HTTPS.

A "halo" market segment for mac books is video and photography professionals who make extremely heavy use of SD cards. Appealing to this group (who are also willing to pay a premium) has always been a feature of macs. Devs, not so much.
The Yubikey/WebAuthn comments are really ignorant and discouraging people from the best defense against this sort of attack that exists.

First of all you can get WebAuthn devices for as little as $10 now.

Second, there is no app to configure. You plug it in when it says register and tap it. Done.

Third, if the WebAuthn device gets stolen the attacker presumably lacks a password. You can't use the device by itself. Also the vast majority of attacks are remote, not IRL.

Fourth: fingerprint or pin authenticated WebAuthn devices exist if your threat model worries about physical access.

IRL attacks are a radically different threat profile.

I can't even with this article.
The lack of self reflection in journalistic circles is amazing, but big tech ruined them, too.

Ms. Swisher is one of the tech pundits I always read.watch when she interviews someone. Perhaps she can do this with the new administration and find out why we allow the failed social media experiments to continue.
Author here. I did provide a few other reasons - mostly around usability of YubiKeys. Try observing a non-techie set one up and tell me if you think it is as easy as it could be.

Realistically, you're probably not going to catch a mugger. Otherwise robberies like that wouldn't occur. Snatching a laptop with a key physically plugged in it is probably easier than snatching a laptop and a separate phone.

Regardless of my opinions on tech, if you think being mugged is "user error" then may I suggest spending a couple of days volunteering for a local Victim Support charity.
It probably should and given the branding I thing it makes sense to not mix Hanzi and Latin Characters.

It's just that there is:

- Jing = 鲸

- Jing as simpl. of jīng = 精

- Jing as simpl. of jīng = 經

- ...?

I wouldn't be surprised if they did consider this similar words when creating JingOs as JingOs is the essence (精) which becomes the structure they wave their ecosystem and as such success around (like Warp~經 is for weaving fabrics).

Or this is just a nice coincidence ;=)

But either way interpreting <Jing><Os> as a call out to <jingo><-ism> is very far fetched.
Balance is more important than frugality. Know where to spend and where to cut costs. I've been in more than a few small companies that took penny-pinching to extremes.

You can't architect a complex application stack with a couple of interns and a newbie developer with no oversight. We'd pay below-market salaries for senior engineers and architects, because "a programmer is a programmer", and we'd lose them.

We'd refuse to pay $150 to have our DevOps guy get his AWS certification because "he may get a better job and leave"... which he eventually did anyway.

Yet the same company was burning $4,000 a month on AWS services that were severely under-utilized, because the DevOps guy left and no one knew how to optimize our AWS usage.

None of these products eventually succeeded. One of the two companies above shut down years ago after a multi-year schedule slip that resulted in the private equity funding drying up. The last time I looked, the other company has been struggling with cash flow problems for the better part of a decade, barely making ends meet, slashing salaries and jobs several times, pushing the better devs to greener pastures.

A few other companies I worked for had sound leadership and a clear vision. Not being a unicorn or a FAANG means we paid above market average salaries and empowered our engineers to make decisions (and mistakes!) to retain great talent and build cool stuff, which we shipped and sold. We invested in growing our people while keeping other overheads (such as unused conference rooms, wasteful pantry supplies, AWS expenses, etc.) low.
Entrepreneur Raised $100M to Help Remotely Oversee Surgeries
No. The replies don't address a single scientific point whatsoever, instead distracting with irrelevancies like attacking the English of the authors (which is plenty good enough), claiming the PCR test is "fine" when it's obviously nowhere even close to fine for the purposes it's being used for, and writing off things like the evident lack of review as a minor unimportant thing.

It's a classic example of desperately trying to shoot the messengers and tboyd47 is correct to say it doesn't belong here. His post was flagged simply because he's another messenger and thus is getting shot - it obviously has nothing to do with the politeness or quality of his posts.

I would say the only thing lazy here is your interpretation of this situation. Speech can be used to sow conspiratorial rage and foment/plan real life harm. At some point it can't be tolerated. That cutoff line is not easy to define, but that doesn't mean it doesn't or shouldn't exist.
Hang Mike Pence was trending because a video came out showing people chanting it during the riots. People then quoted the video saying it was a bad thing, which made the trending algorithm trip. It was not people for hanging Mike Pence, it was people surprised that actually happened.
Likewise, and I'm also sure the New York Times welcomed the chance to take a swipe at Miami as well.
That is an interesting approach, but it also suggests that the (many!) important tasks and skills which we can do but can't easily describe and reason about (for example, image recognition, and why exactly a human would decide that this image is X but not Y; or how to ride a bicycle without falling down) likely shouldn't be solved by symbolic logic.
One that seems obvious to me (but others cheer for) is curing aging.
Lenovo did the same thing years before apple with the X1 carbon gen II. It was a disaster and got removed from later models (thank God).
I'm not exactly going to curate a list of blocks. All I will say is make any constructive criticism towards him, or one of the things he seems to love such as Musk and chances are you will be blocked. He seems to even block other researchers who have never interacted with him.
There's are plenty of USB-C to HDMI cables and TVs also come with USB-C I outs these days. We're in a weird transition phase, but going back to multiple different ports would be silly.
That works pretty well for IPv6, doesn‘t it (actually, it does not)?

The problem with that approach is that as long as 0.01% still uses the old protocol, you can‘t get rid of it. And then you have a bag with the old and new protocol and maybe after 20 years you realize it‘s going to take another X years until you have at least some relevant adoption, as demonstrated with IPv6.

If one is ever going to „replace“ email it happens on top of the existing protocols and not as a replacement.
For some more context about how Parler might not actually be free speech:

"the lack of moderation on Parler is not the issue. they actually have very robust moderation tools and all new users start out shadowbanned until enough of their post get approved for rightthink by their user moderators" [0]

"This is not an ad network. This is a system where their most "influential" users can get paid to post organic-looking sponsored content. Their CEO talks about it here" [1]

EDIT: Updated the first tweet to include the full tweet. If Parler actually has robust and capable moderation tools, as documented by the person who led the effort to archive their entire site before it went down, it's worth noting Amazon's position as stated in the article:

“Instead, this case is about Parler’s demonstrated unwillingness and inability to remove from the servers of Amazon Web Services (‘AWS’) content that threatens the public safety, such as by inciting and planning the rape, torture and assassination of named public officials and private citizens.” [2]

This makes a lot of sense.

Any intelligent organism will have to overcome the biological local optima that brought it to the intelligent state before further developing as a species.

We already have explored a variety options, each with their own advantages and downsides:

1. Free individuals in a distributed system in a cottage industry economy.

2. Semi-free individuals who gather in tribes formed around value-generation (i.e. corporations).

3. Centralized system with individuals who are assigned functions.

Future progress will have to be technological and will change what it means to operate in the afore-mentioned scenarios 1,2,3.
YubiKey recommended that I install Yubi Auth https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yubico.yub... and YubiClip https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yubico.yub...

Should I not have?
Perhaps, but this would not be the first incident. Also, I guarantee you that you could have found plenty of people on Twitter agreeing.

Not to mention, (just trying to find an example), how many threats against Trump or his family have you seen on Twitter?

And lastly, you didn't address my Facebook point. It is factual knowledge now that most of the people attending the riots at the Capitol were organized on Facebook, not Parler. Why did Parler get the blame? Where's Facebook's punishment?
K was basically a one-off, but you could buy systems with similar technology, though they weren't common outside Japan. A64FX machines are appearing in the West now. There was a recent substantial award for one to a UK academic/Met Office consortium, in which there's some interest.
I'm excited about this! Lotta different ways that could go but I'm hoping it's Magsafe-over-usbc so their whole lineup can be protected! (Well they need to ditch lightning on iPhones, but yeah).
Originally, "ultramarine" meant something like "imported merchandise", i.e. something brought from the other side (ultra-) of the sea (-marine).

It provided the information that this is a foreign pigment that must be better than the lower-quality pigments produced locally (e.g. azurite).
They asked them to moderate their forum and suspended them until the situation changed.
I found a lot of this behaviour in Victoria BC too. Similar enough and geographically close enough I guess.

Funny you should mention Florida though, because I recently was working with a team from there and their culture was also absolutely the "work on weekends and PTO" variety.

A thoughtful essay. I find myself frustrated with Sublime Text these days, and as a former (novice) vim user, I’ve been debating if I should go for VSCode like all the young guns these days or commit to Doom Emacs to leverage a solid initial setup and my vim memory and fully embrace libre route, which are a little more aligned with my values (although not to the degree of RMS). I remain oddly indecisive.
To me the fact that Ngram shows the word “patriotism” on the decline throws doubt on using it for any measure like this. Within the US “patriotism” is used very commonly. It leads me to wonder whether Ngram leans too heavily on scientific or academic literature and not on the words that people actually use in everyday conversation.

Does Ngram scan social media, TV or (to a lesser extent) newspapers? If not I’m dubious about the utility here.
true - the canoe is interpreted into orion - my mistake
This really isn’t right!

Authors deserve to be paid for their work, just as developers do. You have the option to buy most audiobooks without any technological restrictions. What more do you want?

Most of the people who are saying this never actually looked at the site, the reality is the majority of the content seen was no worse than that of Twitter, in some ways better and more politer (that's what you get with an echo chamber), but every argument leveraged against Parler could be leveraged 10x over against Twitter. So no matter what intentions are, the effect is the same. You can't in good faith argue Parler deserves to be taken down anymore than Twitter and many other sites. Twitter does not enforce many of its own rules, even when reported a lot of violent, hateful content stays up for days or weeks while very minor infractions will get enforced. So even what they do enforce is very inconsistently enforced.

Given how bad Twitter is and has been over the course of its history, you can't really argue in good faith this wasn't just a pretext from eliminating a competitor to the dominance of SV big tech from the market.

It used to be that free speech was an ideal to strive for and not just a law companies could hide behind as private entities; the argument that the first amendement only applies to the government. Up until 2016 Silicon Valley was full of libertarians fully believing in free speech principles. The ACLU even defended the right of nazis to march through the streets. It seems things have changed.

Yes, tooth fillings.

"Dental amalgam is a mixture of metals, consisting of liquid (elemental) mercury and a powdered alloy composed of silver, tin, and copper. Approximately half (50%) of dental amalgam is elemental mercury by weight. The chemical properties of elemental mercury allow it to react with and bind together the silver/copper/tin alloy particles to form an amalgam."

Hey I understand but didn’t think other reasons were valid. I apologize if my comment came out curt. I know how that feels. However, I think you should reconsider your opinions on Yubikey. They’re significantly better than all other commercially available security solutions at the moment.

Edit: your comment also gave me an idea. Perhaps there should be a phone-based service that you can dial that locks out your account for a predetermined time period? Or it could even be tied to someone else that you can trust.
Not going to go into free speech = government because I think that point has been beaten to death.

Was there speech on Parler that was above board in the sense that it wasn’t people up to no good? I’m sure there was. It’s unrealistic to think that everyone there was advocating for a violent act to happen. Unfortunately, Apple and Amazon (Amazon documenting cases of threatened murder, rape, etc. that Parler wouldn’t remove) allegedly had been requesting that Parler clean up the more extreme content which allegedly they refused to/didn’t do. To Apple, that’s probably no different than an application being riddled in bugs and as such they don’t want it on their app store.
more convenient than yubikeys, is simply your phone, which is really often near you

There just are not enough ports on the pro laptops. 3 usable USB-c (monitor, monitor, keyboard/mouse/sdcard/network/legacy dock) and power. Docking stations only go so far as high resolution monitor/power passthrough and for those of use who end up using those features daily, our machines look like they were blessed by the flying spaghettis monster. 2-3 more USB-c ports would be a boon. Even freeing up one extra with a maglock power connector would be lovely.

I catch my Bride doing her photography workflow on her old, replaced macbook because it has the sdcard handy, she won't mess with the rat's nest in her office, and lord knows where the half a dozen dongles went.
