Right, the Gforth project makes use of lots of clever techniques, but they're not interested in conventional optimising native-code compilation (whether JIT or ahead-of-time) and if I understand correctly they're not interested in writing platform-specific code (i.e. hand-optimised assembly).

On another note, Gforth is actively being worked on, but it's been almost 7 years since the last stable release.
While I’m sure Apple collects ample (pseudo anonymous) data from their respective stores about patterns, they actually don’t gather that much data about you.

For a long time they’ve had an “on device” policy to handling data. Buy a new phone and your frequently visited locations list is empty. Most of their AI stuff only lives on your device.

Of course there are limits to what can be handled on your device, but they’re generally pretty open about what happens where.

Make no mistake, the privacy stance is a profit maker for Apple, and that’s the real reason they’re doing it.

In any case, I’m way more likely to trust Apple with my data than Google or Microsoft. Google and (to some extent) Microsoft has based their business around collecting and/or selling my data, Apple makes a living by selling me hardware and software, and privacy is the one parameter that Apple can compete on that will directly reduce profits of its competitors.

Exactly, the fact that people continue discussing China as some absurdly isolated exotic entity completely ignore the EcoHealth smoking gun - and the fact the USA is the ruling empire with their hands in absolutely everything including Chinese capitalism, military and trade.

No matter how much posturing and geopolitical theatre is going the same fragmented transnational elite is continuing actual resource oriented realpolitics completely outside of the narratives presented in the media that is owned by this class.

Whatever the purspose of this gain of function research is - it's not even discussed in MSM media even though you can go read the docs right out in the open. Same with the EMA bird flu pharma scandal that no one talks about these day that just happened 10 years ago.

Regarding the research it seems it's obviously not about bilateral war, as both complexes in China and the US is "in on it", could be everything from a push towards surveillance, depopulation, centralisation to stock manipulation.
Who knows, when there is seemingly no actual research journalists left. The ones who do question things, are quickly removed from Google, banned from Twitter and deleted from Facebook.

I'm not sure how this would work. Doctors start ordering lots of MRIs that wouldn't have been ordered before, and some percentage of those that wouldn't have been ordered before show tumors. Now what to do you do? If you are just doing it to gather data, you don't tell the patients the results, I guess? This seems unethical.

If you do disclose the results and proceed with a normal patient relationship, you are in the same dilemma as above. You don't know if the tumor is dangerous or not, so the safe course is to do a biopsy, which is itself often invasive. Depending on the results that may lead larger surgeries to exicse large parts of organs and/or the starting of chemotherapy.

Also MRIs are expensive, and in the U.S. a significant amount of that cost (usually hundreds of dollars) is borne by the patient, even if they are insured.

But I don't think we lack for MRI or CT data, there are lots ordered every year. The biggest problem with gathering your data set would be medical privacy regulations. I would guess that medical researchers have already tried longitudinal studies on this to see if different imaging characteristics lead to different outcomes. It's a hard problem, the only data you really get from scans is tissue density, which can probably never tell you what you need to know.

"Questions remain about whether the genetically modified mosquitoes will have unintended effects on local mosquitoes, animals or the ecosystem at large, Live Science previously reported."

I applaud that the article mentions this: it's one of several concerns I have when I read the title of the story. However, not even one bit of educated speculation of what might happen when nature adapts and these genetic tinkerings -- along with the introduction of mosquito DNA from other continents -- produce a version of mosquito we've never seen before, one with potentially disastrous consequences. I would think that once scientists discover mosquitos adapting in the wild and creating new hybrids they didn't expect that they would call time-out and go back to the lab to study rather than releasing new batches elsewhere to see what happens.

In my use case as a grad student in phonology and a linguist interested inter alia also in sociophonetics, de-anonymised data could get me in big, career ending trouble. Imagine me studying some minority's language use, even if the revealed data does not put them at a huge risk, I'll get in trouble with the ethics committee. And it might be possible to de-anonymise participants using e.g. file name, location through IP, etc. and get the participants themselves in trouble. Essentially this merging means Audacity for me is categorised as "can't be used in research", as one of the main reasons the rely on FOSS in research is that this shit don't happen. Luckily it's not like this is a web browser where I can't record if this one obscure standard is met, I just record in Praat or Ardour maybe and call it a day.

That's apart from the many other moral issues, of course, like this whole grabbing the work of FOSS community with money thing is pretty disturbing, which inevitably leads me towards using ethical source licences in any programming I might do such that this sort of stuff doesn't happen.

Also the elephant in the room of course is this is opt-in ___for now___. Recall the days Firefox wasn't plagued with privacy blunders and studies and Google money? There's no reason to believe that Audacity won't end up going the way of Mozilla too.
1. It protects his conflicts of interest by allowing him to routinely dismiss things like the lab leak hypothesis and control the narrative around the virus and its vaccines. It has allowed him to shape public policy in a way that deflects responsibility away from himself and his friends.

2. I was wrong. Wikipedia shows that the NIAID is part of the NIH. Still a research organization, not a public health organization.

3. Previous outbreaks, such as Ebola, SARS, MERS, etc. have _all_ been spearheaded by the CDC. The CDC is the branch of government responsible for managing disease outbreaks. The CDC head is therefore the "top public health communicator." It's worth noting that being a "communicator" here is much more than about talking to the public; it's also about who talks to the politicians.
The fast test is to see how many 2-5 stars vs 1 star reviews exist.

If the 1 stars has a bump vs the rest, you better know it's got a ton of fake reviews.

Legit products have a relatively smooth curve "long tailing" into 1 star.

Soon though, the scam reviewers will start smoothing the curve out and then I don't know what to do anymore.

This is amazing. The GitHub repo has more information too, about how the common explanation of how our ears work (isolating sounds in an FFT-like-process) may be incorrect:

> Contrary to what you might think, our ears don't seem to rely on an FFT-like process to extract isolated frequencies. Instead, our ears detect periodic parts in the signal, although in most cases those periodic parts closely match the FFT frequencies. There is a simple experiment that proves this point:

I think it's probably reasonable to measure delivery rates, to do things like fix delivery problems.

The issue comes from treating it like something that can be continuously optimized. They should set a reasonable rate as a goal and be done with it, except for things like new processes that increase the rate without burdening the driver (new technology or better routing or whatever).

People spending hundreds of dollars on Amazon are saving $0.50 on shipping, doing the deliveries doesn't have to suck, charge $0.50 more.
In any other context, that'd be at least a little slimey. But here, with these budding grifters? It's downright admirable.

> What do you mean by these terms?

By racist and classist? That an identical child, who happens to be born poor or who happens to be born with a darker skin color, will have fewer opportunities and worse life outcomes.

That's literally what a racist society is. Where your skin color plays a large role in your fate.

> How do you propose selecting students?

Simple. We start with the society we want. One that is not racist and not classist. In other words, your skin color and the income of your parents should not play an overwhelming role in your life outcomes.

We tell universities that if they want any federal funding they must admit classes that accurately reflect US demographics. 1% of the incoming class is from the top 1% of earners. Same for socioeconomic status. Colleges can do whatever they want, if they don't like the deal, that's fine, but they get no federal funding and they get no federally-backed student loans.

You start with the outcomes you believe are just. And you set up incentives to get that outcome. That's literally what we do everywhere else. We tell car manufacturers that they need to make cars that have fewer emissions, we don't tell them how. They figure it out. Universities will figure out how to make this happen, they're full of smart people.
That's not quite right. If you turn it off apps may still be able to track you nefariously but they'll be violating Apple's policies.

Apple's explanation for wording it this way is that it's impossible to block all tracking through technical means at the system level because there will always be new nefarious tricks that malicious people will try to use against you. They can only do it at the policy level and try to punish bad actors.
I never did understand why some sailboats have so many holes in the hull. This one for a drain, this one for an old-fashioned "paddle wheel" speedometer, this one for "inspection", good grief. A single drain hole through the transom makes sense for a planing hull that is regularly trailered or lifted, but not for anything with a massive lead keel. Before setting up a complicated monitoring system, boat owners should buy some plastic plugs for $10 per. That should really be a requirement on insurance contracts...

> Why have telemetry at all? Essentially, it’s to help us to identify product issues early:

Really? You have no information about this? Don't you think instability would be reported by some users?

> It is difficult for us to estimate the size of the user base accurately.

You can obtain an estimate by tracking the number of downloads along with some far less intrusive metrics like user agent, etc.

> We need a way to make informed decisions about which OS versions to support. For example, can we raise the minimum version of the macOS to 10.10 to update the wxWidgets to the latest version?

Generally speaking no you should not raise the minimum OS version on a ubiquitous piece of software like this. Either work with the library vendor to find a way to support old and new, or use a different library.

At a minimum keep the old versions around, there are no doubt offline installations out there running on old kit. Don't force everyone to upgrade their hardware/OS (it's expensive, and with apple products also means usable hardware going to the landfill)

> We have a known issue with the new file format introduced in Audacity 3.0. We found it with the great help of the community members on our forum. However, there is no way for us to estimate the impact of these issues on users. Is it just a random case? Do we need to rush the work on the recovery tool or help the users one by one? Or do we need to rethink the file format to make it safer and more easily recoverable?

Again, use the estimate metrics from downloads and user agents. And in any event you should prioritize fixes by the severity of the actual bug, not by "how many people does it affect". Just focus on writing stable software.

Let us know what you’re interested in, what makes the job interesting, and anything else you want to tell us up front.
I received quality training on framework, language and protocols by coworker of that company. Those people spend a good 20% of their time doing that for clients anyway, so they are both comfortable doing it and I thougt it was decent dive ( modules span 20-30 hours )

Sure there are deceitful practices in advertising, but you're painting everyone with the same broad brush. IMHO, it is best to address the negative aspects of advertising instead of restricting communication from vendors to potential consumers.

It can be even funnier because they only need to read the side effects if they say what the drug is supposed to treat.

> Scores are highly predictable from income and factors like race. Yes. That's what makes standardized tests not just worthless, it makes them classist and racist.

Is there some aspect of standardized tests that makes the test easier for rich white kids while making it harder for others? If so the solution is to fix the test, not eliminate the test.

It should be expected that in a nation that prides itself as the land of opportunity, there will be some correlation between wealth and the genes you were born with. Hard work is important, but it is not the only determinant. Being born smart is a factor too, right? Smarter parents beget smarter kids. If so there will be some correlation between wealth of parents and how well the kids do in tests. Blaming that on some kind of bias in standardized tests is insane.
