In my experience, the "anti-free speech" things they complain about are generally the actions taken by powerful private institutions (PayPal cutting people off, complete bans from the Social Media town square) that prevent individuals from having the right to exercise freedom of speech in practice.
One time, I fell asleep as a passenger in a car. I hit a bump, looked up, and screamed as I saw what looked like a car coming right for me.

It was a tow truck towing a car backwards. It was just enough in my half-asleep state to scare the shit out of me.

Humans have millions of years of evolution behind our visual processing systems. We have developed hacks that prevent our brain from getting tricked by unusual situations like traffic lights on trucks or backwards cars being towed. We only developed the first computers a hundred years ago, and only in the last 40 years have a small subset of people started learning about visual processing systems.

It's easy to look at this video and scoff because of how trivial it seems. But it's instead a marvel of our minds that we can pick up on context clues so quickly and accurately that such oddities basically never puzzle us. Given the pace of our innovation, it wouldn't surprise me if our computer systems match ours within a few human generations at latest.
That the Autopilot world model is extrapolating these lights to follow the passing geography in ~500ms cycles, similar to how game netcode sends players running in their last known direction when encountering packet loss, is an interesting insight into how the system works.

Anyone can catch anything and potentially pass it on all the time. But at least the CDC thinks the risk is sufficiently low that it is not worth worrying about:

>If you’ve been fully vaccinated:

>If you’ve been around someone who has COVID-19, you do not need to stay away from others or get tested unless you have symptoms.

I don't know what this caveat right after that is about though.

>However, if you live or work in a correctional or detention facility or a homeless shelter and are around someone who has COVID-19, you should still get tested, even if you don’t have symptoms.
That's hilariously overdesigned and underenginnered. I doubt it will ever see mass production.
I'm absolutely fine with him being charged with a felony, as he is a corrupt government official, I just don't think that felony should be hacking.
Authorization isn't just yes or no though. It's conditional on intent.

Say I give a neighborhood kid a key to come water my plants while I'm out of town. If they use that key to gain access and throw a party they're trespassing. I don't see why it should be different for a CPU
Yes, and this is where statically typed languages shine (in my opinion). I like programming in a style that makes heavy use of the type system to enforce this.

For example when writing an api endpoint to create a task I would typically deserialise the json into a CreateTaskRequest. If the object is created without exceptions I can be sure it is valid. CreateTaskRequest implements the ToTask interface. The service layer takes only objects of this interface and converts into a Task object that gets persisted. The persisted Task then gets converted into a TaskResponse so only valid JSON comes back out.

Lots of classes and interfaces but they are all small and with a single purpose.
I think this illustrates why it is in fact about responsibility, and thinking about it as blame gets you in confusion.

To extend your example: Bernie Sanders as a citizen, and further a politician, acquires an amount of the collective responsibility for the countries actions in the Iraq War. Bernie Sanders as an activist has more than discharged that responsibility by actively countering it.

A citizen who has done nothing to mitigate or counter the actions is left only with the share of collective responsibility; however large or small that may be, it's real.

Offshoring and outsourcing can be a nightmare. It doesn't have to be though. I've seen at least one example that works very well.

Of course it was less about cost and more about the ability to quickly provide additional resources, and it was done with the upmost care to make it still feel like one team, but it doesn't have to be a nightmare.
I don't think the agent's action is proper, but it had nothing to do with computer fraud per se, nor is it the legislation intention.

Suppose someone was granted access to evidence room, but had a look at the evidence that is not of his case, or a case file that he have access to for reasons not work-related. And those generally falls in the area of internal regulation, in which case the agency takes the legal blame for the agent, and should it take actions against the agent, it might be supported.

Plain simply, even if those records are physical the referred agent could have done the same thing. Logically, it's not a matter of abusive conduct through computer, it's a matter of abusing public power.
How big of a team do you have. Even if it's from your personal funds, if you're maybe paying a few contractors $10,000 a month, that's still an investment.
No, this is more like asking McDonald's not to blow up new restaurants within a week of them coming to town because they didn't "ask permission" from them first.
iPhones are more expensive on average, hence used by people who spend more money on average.
At D5 [1], What did Steve & Bill Gate admire in the other?

Bill: Steve’s taste,

Steve: Microsoft’s ability to partner.

Apple is basically repeating a lot of their early mistakes. Some of those lessons Steve took it to heart when he returns to Apple from NeXT.

>This isn’t about the 30%, or the 15%,.......It’s about what Apple’s leadership thinks of us and our work.

There is also another point Marco didn't mention. It is not your customers either. Apple has been very clear in all of their communications. The user of iPhone, are Apple's customers. Even the third party Apps, they are accessing Apple's customers. And hence the relationship is very much not a partnership. Since Apple claims ownership on both the Apps and the customers. In the name of privacy and user experience.

>but Apple uses their position of power to double-dip.

Finally! Someone in the Apple community use the term double-dip! A term Apple has used against Qualcomm and sent a whole PR team to damage their reputation.

>But the leaders have already shown us who they really are, what they really think of us, and how little they value our work.

Unfortunately Tim Cook isn't the type of person who understand this. You should probably listen to his testimony to make your own judgement. But after the Epic Vs Apple trial it became very clear why Steve said Tim Cook isn't a product person. There are quite possibly zero product sensibility within Tim Cook. And I am not sure who is in-charge of the PR now either. Their message are delusional, hypocritical and reminds me a lot of Google in the 00s. I missed Katie Cotton's era.

It seems like a year ago there was a big dust-up over the 30% cut and Apple's management of the App Store- does anyone remember that? I believe it might've related to the Hey controversy. Or the House antitrust hearings. I just remember a storm of unhappiness, followed by WWDC 2020 and everyone just forgetting about it until the Epic lawsuit picked up again.

Here’s the thing, while remote work this year has been a net positive in productivity for many tech companies, that wasn’t necessarily the case for all companies, mainly because of their inability to measure it. Many companies were more concerned about trying to keep a iron grip on employees than enabling them to be successful as remote workers.

There are some naive executives who believe having an office is a big part of what helps them operate successfully. These executives are just entrenched in the old ways. They can’t fathom a world where their employees can work efficiently in a remote environment because they build all their management based on the idea of personal face to face interactions.

There’s another group of executives that’s even worse. Those who simply operate from mistrust. They need to have their employees in the office because otherwise they can’t validate and measure their employees output (although this is just as hard to measure in person). They need to see the employee physically present because for them employees salaries can only be justified when they add working hours, not based on the merits of their output.

But a reality check is here for all of them. One positive outcome from Covid is that it’s fully rebalancing the power between employer and employee. Definitely eager to see how this plays out.
This is fascinating, but what caused the delays specifically?
In tech there have always been a relatively large number of remote friendly companies. I worked for the better part of a decade fully remote, in full time, reasonably well paying positions at a wide range of companies. I only returned to an office a bit before pandemic broke out and don't have any intention of returning to an office full time now.

After the pandemic there was an even larger number of companies that are at the very least remote friendly. Most < 1000 employee tech companies I know are never planning on returning to an office full time. I also believe a fairly large number of the major tech companies are also planning to be fully remote friendly going into the future.

Pre-pandemic getting a fully remote job didn't take too much work find, and now nearly all companies I've talked to in the last few months are willing to support remote roles.
"I was talking about people defaulting to claims of bigotry at any sign of criticism."

The idea that antisemitism is used to silence criticism of Israel is meant to do exactly that, victim shame them into silence - its an outrageous accusation without any factual basis.

I don't know anyone that defaults that way about every criticism of Israel...but there are many types of critiques that are clearly antisemitic - for example blaming Jews or even Israelies collectively for their governments actions - or holding Israel to a standard you dont hold anyone else to or leveling criticism at Israel with no attempt to even get the facts on the ground correct.

Can a claim of antisemitism be taken at face value without accusing the victim of weaponizing it to silence criticism of Israel?

Why are you looking for reasons to dismiss accusations of anti semitism?

Why isn't your default compassion and understanding?
I get what you are saying about web apps, but I hope Apple doesn't open up to more browsers.

It seems like every additional sensor or OS feature that is exposed through the browser is used as an additional way to erode privacy and security.

Plus I like that there are incentives for developers to make native apps for anything non-trivial. In my experience well written web apps use too much bandwidth, battery, and memory compared to well written native apps.
Google's not pushing it hard on iOS, and it can't offer enhanced features or tailor (ahem) its sites to run better on the Chrome engine on iOS. That makes it a harder sell, and the "Google sites all works better on Chrome (because we made sure they do...) download it here!" ads they had success with on desktop would simply be lies, if they tried that. They also can't get other apps to embed their engine so they get those sweet, sweet analytics from those, too. FB would likely do the same (probably with a fork of Chrome, for obvious reasons).
> I'm surprised that it didn't become more popular

It gave managers answers they didn't want to hear.
Yeah, I'd want to be paid at least 25% more, since by requiring me to commute to the office, you are taking two hours a day from me that's of no use to either of us.
I've been effectively remote (albeit with a lot of work travel) for a number of years now and won't ever return to an office. That said, and appreciating that it's a different world from a few decades ago in terms of comms and so forth, it feels to me that coming out of school and shortly thereafter and being in this situation would have been extremely difficult.

If this were not a ruling in favor of a police officer, I feel that you would see a much more positive response. The past few years of political craziness have warped peoples' minds where they can't recognize a good thing anymore.
That was true of older systems, most newer adaptive cruise control systems I've used have no issue with stop and go traffic.
iOS apps are more profitable on a per install basis. So the discrepancy cannot be explained by there being multiple Android stores. Your hypothesis in brackets is the more likely explanation.

Snowflake CEO Says Worker Merit Should Outweigh Diversity Goals
The simple answer is people with more disposable income buy iPhones. Smart of Apple to position themselves this way in the market and build a product good enough to sustain that position, but I don't think that invalidates Marco's argument.
Taken literally the claim isn’t true - a Turing complete type system can enforce any constraint that a Turing complete programming language can. But your everyday type systems typically can’t express concepts like “a list of at least 3 elements” or “a number which is a power of 2”.
This is another way to extract money from developers -- you have to purchase the search ad for your own app in order to show up first when someone searches for the exact name of your app. Not only does this cost feel a bit silly, it can also be substantial.

I was wondering the same thing, and I don't think it would. I am not a lawyer, and I guess we can't know why the jury voted guilty, but I think the arguments were that weev didn't have authorization. They argued that there was several "gates" weev had to go through to access AT&T's data.

1) User agent. He changed the user agent to that of an iPad.

2) The ID themselves. He only had to increment them to get to a new one, but they argued these were like a password.

3) Going to a URL that wasn't linked from somewhere. I'm not kidding.

https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130929/15371724695/dojs-...

So I think in weev's case, they argued he never had authorization at all.

Whereas, in Van Buren's case, "The parties agree that Van Buren “access[ed] a computer with authorization”. So the problem was whether or not he exceeded authorization, not if he had it in the first place.
Your post resonates with me so deeply. The Toyota dealership near me wanted close to 1k for a 90k service, and the add-ons and labor charges. Almost fainted.
If enough people hold firm this is a chance to change the corporate office paradigm for good. There are a lot of good reasons to WFH and a lot of bad reasons managers have for not allowing it. I programmed from home for 12 years, then worked in corporate offices for 5 years. I did my best work at home. I was really happy with my work output and quality of work I produced. Then working in offices I could never adjust and both myself and my employers were disappointed in my output. It's due to a lot of small things, like I sometimes get burned out thinking about a problem and need to take a quick nap to refresh. This was never possible in an office. It was better for my wife too. If she wanted to run out while the kids were napping, I was there for them while I worked. It was just so nice compared to the hell of being stuck in some office park with people I didn't know that well and didn't even like that much.
> Apple is the only maker of premium phones

So by your own admission, Apple has a monopoly on the premium market, and is using that power to broker their audience for a premium fee to developers who simply want to sell their code to someone who's willing to pay for it?

That is one of the most dystopian arguments I've ever heard, bravo.
I am always in favor of raising the child tax credit, which benefits higher earners and has a mechanism for folks who don't pay net taxes to receive a check. For tax year 2021 the credit will be $3,600 for children under 6. Someone making > $100k would definitely benefit from this being raised and I think it's one of the few areas in the US that the left and right generally agree. I would love to see this raised to $5k or higher.

Now on the other side of the coin, expenses. Some expenses grow linearly with each child. College education funds, pre-school, diapers. Most expenses, however, don't grow much or at all.

With a 1st child everything needs to be bought. Car seat, crib, changing table, clothes, toys, etc. The good news is though, if you plan on having multiple children, the 2nd child can reuse most of those same items. I am a younger sibling, and constantly got hand-me-downs from my older brother, and sometimes I wasn't too happy about that, but as a parent it is crystal clear to my why my parents did that, and they did buy me enough new things that I never had any resentment over it.

Now 2 to 3 has been a lot more expensive for us since we had to buy a bigger car to fit 3 car seats, but we're expecting everything else to be reused.
Would that make you a criminal if you mistyped your URL, and ended up looking at someone else's document?

It seems like it would to me, and I don't like that interpretation.

If you want me to keep out, then keep me out. Don't make something available to me and then accuse me of a felony when I see it.
Why does every vendor I deal with still do it, at least for support?
College was by far the best time in my life because of the environment of campus, even with the pitiful dorm room sizing and sub-average dining options. If I could move to a campus - perhaps that was focused on people in their thirties - where people from many companies would go to work remotely and live, that would be an absolute game-changer for me.
> Users don’t choose an app store based on how good the processor or download is

This is iOS, people don't choose an app store at all. People buy from the Apple App Store because there's literally no alternative that isn't incredibly convoluted and well beyond all but technical users.

Those people are not serious about free speech; they are deeply hostile to it. If they were serious about free speech, they would welcome the criticism.

In my experience, it's not the criticism that free speech advocates complain about (plenty of weak phonies do, to be fair, because they are not secure in their principles or viewpoints). In my experience, free speech advocates complain mostly about the moves of private organizations against individuals' right to free speech. The bans from the social media "public square," (suddenly more important during Covid...) or when someone gets cut off of PayPal for dubious political reasons, these things do matter. They may not be strictly "unconstitutional," or even really illegal, but they are dangerous, and they are against the ideals of a free society.

It's not just art... It's why otherwise ordinary items have sentimental value. Like a specific stuffed animal, or a mile marker. NFTs lack an intrinsic to convey this that goes beyond the digital item itself. Having or looking at a digital asset can itself be nostalgic, but the NFT does not specifically effect this, except in the sense of the act of buying it.
For a lot of developers, "brutally monotonous work" is just ... work.
There is a fairly robust set of benchmarks that are run to test out performance improvements[1] and macro benchmarks are the ultimate test of holistic improvement. CPU isn't a great proxy, but one of the biggest problems in real world performance on this specific system ( databases in general ) is latency. CPU time is a really good proxy for latency so by taking a look at CPU time we can get an idea of how the system will respond under "normal" conditions.

On what axes are you measuring performance? I care about how quickly and smoothly something runs, but also how much battery, memory, and bandwidth it consumes.

> I _think_ allocating a slice of contiguous bytes and using unsafe pointers should work fine as long as you are very cautious about structs/vars with pointers into the buffer getting freed by the GC

Go's GC is conservative, so I don't think you need to take any special caution in that regard. I would expect that you just need to take care that your casts are correct (e.g., that you aren't casting overlapping regions of memory as distinct objects).
I believe this one does all of those: https://www.toyota.com/safety-sense/animation/pcspd
Ahh, you're right. Thank you for spotting that. I was excited that the Hamming window seemed to work for filtering, but I never tried e.g. taking the FST of an impulse filter, multiplying by the FST of an image, then running the result through FST again. There do seem to be some behavior differences for even vs odd numbered filters. And the "identity" filter is very strange:

>>> fst2(fst2(tensor([[5**0.5,0,0,0,0]])) * fst2(tensor([[0,1,2,3,4]])))
[[0,1,2,3,4]]

Interestingly, there do seem to be equivalents for shifting around the components, e.g.

>>> fst2(fst2(tensor([[0, 0, 1, 0]])) * fst2(tensor([[0,1,0,0]])))
[[0,0,0,0.5]]

But, you're right, the relation is much less clear than I originally thought. I'll spend more time on this to try to work out what the exact equivalencies are.
