Oof, this is a rough one! Id rather have a device number limit than a device type limit.

Main Takeaway:

"We’re making changes to how Free users access LastPass across device types. LastPass offers access across two device types – computers (including all browsers running on desktops and laptops) or mobile devices (including mobile phones, smart watches, and tablets). Starting March 16th, 2021, LastPass Free will only include access on unlimited devices of one type. "
We do. Thinking a bit about what that means, we have photographs showing how the physical entity we model as atoms interact with light, and can confirm that the theory lines up with experiment.

If we adopt that same definition for spacetime, we also have photographs of it, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_May_29,_1919#... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_lens#Gallery.
I wonder which versions of Windows have this bug, since I don't think it was there when I was using 98SE with a nearly-full desktop (~400 icons) and hardware from around 2 decades ago (single core)...

WPA just looked at the debug information for all of the EXEs and PE files and downloaded symbol files from Microsoft’s symbol servers

I've always found it funny that MS would publicly distribute these, since they get you probably 90% of the way to actual source code from the perspective of understanding how Windows works.

...so I pulled out the shell32.pdb from some version of XP (not sure which one, might be SP1 or SP2) and it has no BatchPositionChangesHelper, CCollectionSink, CListViewHost, nor IconLayoutEngine. It does have CDesktopBrowser and SHDesktopMessageLoop. Also, "windows.storage.dll" definitely isn't present in XP, given that it's a WinRT thing.

In other words, I'm inclined to believe this bug was not there originally, but was introduced during one of their horrid shell rewrites that happened after XP --- someone who has easy access to the Vista or newer symbols can see when those functions were introduced.

I also bet it was partially due to the insane amounts of abstraction that seems to be the norm in code today, where algorithms can become accidentally quadratic or worse without being noticed ("it's just a loop so it must be linear"... forgetting that in that loop's body, there's another loop somewhere down in the long chain of function calls.)

...and speaking of source code, someone who isn't bothered by the legal aspects could probably get to the bottom of this bug: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24586708

I think it's quite interesting that the NYT hasn't linked Scott's response [1] in their article about him. Surely if their article was written in good faith they would be happy to do so

> We are better off for having strong dissenting views informing us and expanding the narrative.

Strong dissenting views is a means to an end, not an end.

The truth is some point in the space of plausible ideas. If the region covered by existing ideas doesn't overlap the truth, then yes, you need to expand it. If it does, then looking elsewhere is guaranteed to bring you farther away from the truth.

If the story is false (or, more precisely, Bloomberg's reporters are talking to people who aren't technically qualified to analyze the subject and are misinterpreting it and Bloomberg is putting its own spin of misinterpretation on it), then Bloomberg's contribution to the discourse - to the pursuit of truth - is of no more value than the National Enquirer saying that Batboy hacked all our computers. Possibly of less value, in that people know not to take the Enquirer seriously.

The ability to have a wide range of views expressed is good for the pursuit of truth, yes. That doesn't mean that a dissenting view is of merit because it is dissenting. And in the case of this article, when it was based on a previous one that was attacked on the merits and not because of how dissenting it was, and seems to be more of the same, a commitment to the search for truth requires us to dismiss it.

> Counter argument: politicians (and the 1%) need to protect against inflation/taxations, so they may not all be in favor, and will leak the plan. It will cause a huge Streisand effect, as "there is no such thing as negative publicity": random Joes will buy crypto, making the plan politically undefensible.

Uh, what? This makes zero sense. There is absolutely such a thing as negative publicity, especially if major governments threaten to effectively wipe out the value of Bitcoin.

You could just as easily see a large fraction of the holders of Bitcoin try to cash out, to put into more safe investments while the situation stabilizes. This will probably create a crash, as Bitcoin is so prone to. More people will cash out. This will probably increase support for regulating or banning crypto exchanges. Some will already have cashed out, they're happy. Some of the ones that haven't will direct their anger against Bitcoin and support regulations. Some of the ones still holding will try to fight it, but they'll be in the minority. Most people who never invested will probably support bans ("I don't want to risk unwittingly getting hit by a crash like that in the future"). You'll probably have lots of emotional stories about grandpa losing all his savings in the media. I mean, we've seen this story over and over before in the stock markets. Someone figures out "get-rich-quick" schemes, they crash, people demand regulation. What makes anyone think that it'll be any different with cryptocurrencies once they become big enough?

I think it'd be absolutely reasonable to require exchanges to guarantee that there's X% of reserves behind any cryptocurrency it trades. That'll probably kill Bitcoin, since you'd probably want to build such a requirement into the implementation of the currency. And it'll probably put a big damper on the growth of the conforming cryptocurrencies.
>>> Should we classify C the same way?

Probably not if you want to survive. ;-)

I'm certainly agreeing that it's an interesting puzzle. One particularly curious thing is that the classification scheme is not just descriptive, but is itself one of the sensory inputs that influences behavior. So it's both a puzzle of understanding human behavior, but also coupled to a social phenomenon.

I don't know of a society that doesn't classify C differently, so it may have some survival advantage.
I'm not an expert in cognitive behavioral therapy, but I believe much of what it advocates is along what you're describing.

we must have read different articles. I read one where multiple credible people went on the record to say the FBI had warned them that supermicro servers were compromised.
I'll admit that:

a) that surprises me, because in my short experience with it, I found that PyPy is more about simpler idioms if you are aiming for performance, a bit C-ish in style

b) it's been something like... 3 years (I think) since I last used PyPy for some serious performance testing of code. And even then it was a horrible proof of concept that barely ran, but helped me point out that "hey, we optimized it to 3.5x times faster with CPython and PyPy is getting to 4.5x over the original code, but it's throwing a thousand errors and warnings on screen and we can't be sure it'll work in production"[0].

Probably things have changed a bit on the PyPy side, though I don't think RPython has changed much in concept.

Also I see I never got to explain the pythonic note on my previous comment: basically, whatever "pythonic" means to the team. In general I try to go for the definition that is "it's easy to read and understand what's going on with the code, and provides easy-to-use interfaces for programmers". Not an easy to do thing, but at least trying to do it helps a lot.

[0] the job was that there was a large program that was bottlenecking a process in a lab, and somebody threw the idea of "oh we should use pypy because it'll surely make things run faster". And then it was my responsibility to pick that skeleton up and take care of it.

Oh and the code was pretty inefficient to begin with, which is why we got to speed it up so much without even going into C. A quick test with Cython put it in the 7-10x range of speedups, but the client wasn't willing to handle that, so they just kept it in CPython.

I'm thinking more of a writer sitting down and struggling to choose the correct word to identify a thought. I wouldn't say they're "conveying information." At that point they don't have information. I would say rather that they're attempting to refine the raw material of the flow of their thought-consciousness by using language. You can use words to assist that refinement. (I'm doing it now, for example.) But you can also use words to divert your thought stream away from potentially uncomfortable ideas, or someone else can do that to you.
JSON already complicated implementation pretty significantly compared to a binary format, and there is no apparent support for compression, integrity verification, or encryption. You can layer those on tar.gz style of course, but then you don't get nice content lists without having to decompress the whole thing.

It seems to me that the tradeoffs here make it suitable for relatively few use cases. Nothing wrong with that per-se, but I wouldn't call it "powerful" or even "simple"[0].

Also: I'm guessing the header_size field is LE and the header itself is null terminated but neither is necessarily true. Details like that should be specified.

[0] Thinking about it some more, as long as your use case is "access from JavaScript" I guess "simple" does apply.

buying the same $8 bottle of wine 10 times can result in five great bottles and five so-so bottles, with a $30+ bottle, it’s more like 1% of the time you get a bad bottle.

I don't know, in my experience it could equally go the other way. The $8 bottle is mass produced in huge processing plants run by engineers and where everything is monitored, blended and tweaked to taste exactly the same over 100k bottle runs. The $30 bottle could be one of perhaps 2000 bottles made by a farmer in his shed using natural fermentation and biodynamic processes and quality control consists of tasting a few bottles to see if they taste OK.

The $8 bottle will have a taste that has been designed by a panel of experts to match current wine drinking trends. The $30 bottle will be a quirky representation of that farmers harvest, conditions, winemaking quirks and whatever random fluctuations happened to take place during that particular vinification process.

I dont agree its a false dichotomy.

Yes every theory is just a model to fit observations etc etc. But Atoms are conceivable - they work as a model, but we can also imagine how to fit into the reality that we experience. We can 'see' them to an extent with special instruments. And their abilities/behaviours are evident in all the physical world of compounds and elements around us. You can disolve salt in water, you can light up a neon sign.

Quantum Mechanics is a model that fits experiment results very well, but is very hard to conceive of. Wave function collapse has no obvious analogue in the world as we experience it. Thats the point of schrodingers cat. You either have to go for the many worlds interpretation, or get into spooky stuff about observers.

Spacetime/relativity is similar, we can do stuff like fly a clock around the world in an airplane, or observe mercury transitioning past the sun, but its much less conceivable based on our everyday world. So spacetime might just be a constuct, like wave function collapse, that doesnt map easily onto our experience of the world. Certainly its a question worth asking.

A good habit of exercise and diet is self-reinforcing.

What is the difference between self-reinforcing and habit-forming? I see three differences.

1. Who is in control? A runner is in relatively more control, because the act of running does not require a gamified online experience.

2. What are the ethical ramifications? These are subjective. To be clear, subjective certainly does not mean unimportant. It means people may disagree. In my view, people largely disagree on the "margins" of ethics -- meaning there is a wide swath of common ground.

3. There are some physiological differences; I'm not an expert. It seems that both the runner's high [1] and social media involve dopamine, but they appear to use different mechanisms. ("Runner's high" seems to involve endorphins as a precursor.)

Comma don't even say _how_ the model works! What layers are there? What learning strategies are they using? What do they do? It's literally a black box! "All you have to do is see how it behaves for different inputs" is just black box reverse engineering! Machine Learning is NOT a magic black box.

Comma have constructed a "stack" of models, just as you would connect a series of functions to make a kernel in the mathematics sense, or a series of algorithms or instructions to make a program. And that stack is entirely closed.

https://medium.com/@chengyao.shen/decoding-comma-ai-openpilo... here is an example of reverse-engineering the driving model. If Comma released this exact sort of documentation, including what ML modeling strategies they were using, what each input and output parameter affected, and how the model was trained, I could maybe consider the system open.

My first thought was "why is salesforce publishing essentially a hacking tool? why can't they bring it up privately, surely a large enough company will have some weight to their request?" but then I remembered AWS...

>At the time of this writing, AWS Access Analyzer does NOT support auditing 11 out of the 18 services that Endgame attacks. Given that Access Analyzer is intended to detect this exact kind of violation, we kindly suggest to the AWS Team that they support all resources that can be attacked using Endgame

This is incorrect. If you want an anonymous function (with no object context) you can write a lambda, store it to a value, make other lambdas that call it and return yet another lambda etc.

You can do the exact same thing with object methods if you want, eg. my_puts = Kernel.method(:puts).

You can even do this in one line and stop the auto parenthesis behavior if you want.

foo = method def foo
...
end

Now foo will reference the method and you have to use foo() to call it.

The reason that people don’t do a bunch of that in Ruby is that the support for anonymous blocks is so convenient That there aren’t that many cases where you really need anonymous functions detached from any object.
> Who made the decision that this person's views should be widely scrutinized?

This is a serious stretch. The algo didn’t force that person to sign up and post their every ignorant thought on a public forum. People can just put down their phones but they love the attention. Individuals are just as guilty for giving power over themselves to social media.
But if that is happening, presumably it shows up in your reasoning and can be critiqued.

Those of you looking for an alternative, consider moving your data to a Keepass database. Its a more or less open file format, which a lot of different tools can read.

My goto tool currently is Keeweb - https://keeweb.info/. Its basically a SPA, can be used offline or online.

Keeweb + a google drive hosted keepass database file keeps my passwords available and synced across 5-6 different devices.
It’s very easy to get the dopamine loop going with sugar, nicotine, memes, rage-bait, and bikini photos. The brain loves it.

Haskell would not be considered pure or stateless as well. What the OP is saying there are several qualities which indicate you are dealing with functional language and they are not super rigid.
Typically first-class functions indicate that its possible to do things functionally. Immutable defaults takes it further. Higher kinded types usually indicate you can easily separate pure from effectful. Dependant types hint that you can have value level expectations etc.

At which point you are happy with "functional" is up to you. Its not all or none.
Atoms aren’t just something we’ve modeled — they’re a physical thing, i.e. matter. We can sense them directly, not just infer their existence by measuring related phenomena. I realize when you get into theoretical physics the “thingness” of concepts becomes more and more abstract, but atoms don’t fall into that bucket.
> I looked at getting a pizza peel and decided that there wasn’t a single best style.

There isn't. There are 3 operations: launch, turning and extracting, and different styles of peel are "best" for each.

A smooth wooden peel (or perforated metal) is good for launch.

A "turning peel" is a thing, smaller and rounder.

A metal peel is best for extracting - don't use your launch peel, you don't want it to get hot, or the next pizza will stick.

This guy covers some of it: https://youtu.be/n8F8YdxA5jA
We already have hormones and signaling coming from other organs, and those react to other hormones and signaling, so thats possible. I ahve the feeling focus has been put on fast communication of states (potential in the synapses, neurotransmitters) but we know also about slower processes (astrocytes energy management) that also impact brain function deeply, so I would clearly not rule peripheral impact out.
It's definitely a problem for both. Lots of kids are getting radicalized too, along with the Fox News generation.
FYI Bitwarden is only $10 a year. Before Bitwarden I used a combination of Keepass and Google Drive to sync all my passwords between devices. That was a workable solution, but Bitwarden is certainly easier, and I think more polished too.
