It was summer 99. I was finishing my CompSci MS degree in US. I was driving back from visiting DC with my future wife in my Oldsmobile ‘84 Cutlass Supreme (a.k.a. wreck on wheels). The day was so hot the radiator exploded, so we waited in a diner until the night fell and we could ride in cooler air. A guy and his family parked next to us. His car was also bust. It was a Yahoo guy. 15 minutes later I had a friggin’ job offer in my back pocket, as we rode toward the setting sun.

Those were the days.
Arg, I have a different Android TV and like the older design, I guess this one will be coming and it looks like a strict downgrade.
You are trying to say that iMessage does not have forward secrecy.

That's true, and is a perfectly legitimate reason to use Signal.

I'm saying that the OP was dissing iMessage because of the Pegasus zero-click exploit, and was saying that switching to Signal gives zero guarantees of protecting you from that, because it likely has it's own zero-click exploits, especially because it doesn't attempt to sandbox unlike iMessage does with the flawed BlastDoor.

Congress, is corrupt to the T. Everyone had enough of these vampires. BJP was the only other viable national party. But I agree the situation is not ideal. I pity the residents of this country they are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

SQL is just one tool/representation. I would focus more on the idea of "managing complexity" more than any specific technological implementation of this idea. This gets me back to Excel. Really hard to get opinionated about a computerized spreadsheet representation.
I think there's some of that, but this wasn't done by the people who made and sold the hardware, nVidia. This was done by Google.

Another post said that Google's certifications require that the device manufacturer keep the stock launcher, which would mean that nVidia couldn't and can't do anything about this directly.

nVidia is still selling plenty of these boxes and it would absolutely ruin their business if they started cramming ads into paid products.
The solution is to use a different format that is safer.
Wow! It's amazing to see how fast virtual reality has advanced in the 21st century.
This is, if anything, a good sign for your project. It means the idea is _somewhat_ validated by YCom. That's far better than doing something that isn't validated at all!

In some cases, yes.

For instance, I'm sure China wouldn't build its nuclear deterrent around some hypothetical US-made COTS "Nuclear Weapon Control System," even if there was zero evidence that system was compromised. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Ditto with Huawei.

IMHO, if its decision-making wasn't so addled by wishful thinking and capitalism, the US would use far less Chinese technology for this reason.

Just a thought -- gaming is latency sensitive.

Hi there, just want to clarify that Nebulus is not a replacement for IPFS or competes with IPFS. In fact it internally uses all the features you just mentioned. In fact it's even powered by JS-IPFS and makes use of the "--only-hash" features and other features you mentioned.

I needed a programmatic way to do all these things (as well as many other user friendly features that the IPFS raw protocol will never provide) and the existing IPFS libraries don't provide a way to do so, so I built it and have been using it from another project, and it was so useful that I decided to extract it out of that project into a standalone one. Just hope others find it useful as well. Thank you.

At least FireTV devices are subsidized. I sort of expect ads as part of the deal in getting a device for about half price compared to similar devices.

I paid $150 for my Shield and now get the same crappy experience as my $25 FireTV stick.

A completely separate issue: The HBOMax app actually works better on my $25 device.
Because white goes first. The phrasing and context becomes important. There are two statements that are true but without them as context you end up with a misleading notion:

First player wins more than second in chess (because there's a slight advantage).

White goes first in chess.

Therefore, white wins more than black in chess.

However, that conclusion (what you present) is valueless without the context. If you reversed which color starts the game then we'd end up with "black wins more than white in Chess" as a conclusion and your statement would be false. And if there was no specific color which always started, we'd be left with just the first statement: First player wins more than second in chess.
Well, it seems that Google (and various other corporations) are finally entering their endgame and are showing their true colors. I am eager to find out if the world can fight back meaningfully.

The whole iCloud “omg almost out of space!!” nag screens really irked me on iOS, and doubly so because of their usage of private APIs to both show those nag screens and how the iCloud service works in a way that no other service can, again due to the private APIs they use. I pay for it now begrudgingly because it does “just work”, but I also hate them for it as I’d rather have a choice of cloud storage providers that could automatically back my photos up in the same reliable and integrated way that iCloud does.

You are ignoring the downside to green threads which is that it’s cooperative. If the thread doesn’t yield control back to the event loop then the real OS thread backing the loop is now stuck.

Which leads to dirty things like inserting sleep 0 at the top of loops and dealing with really unbalanced scheduling of threads don’t hit yields often enough. Plus with loom it might not be obvious that some function is a yield since it’s meant to be transparent so if you grab a lock and yield you make everyone wait until your scheduled again.

Green threads are great! I love them and they’re the only real solutions to really concurrent IO heavy workloads but it’s not a panacea and trades one kind of discipline for another.
You're assuming that technologically-focused folks "accept[] the current broad system and ruling class" and have only small ambitions. Neither of these assumptions seems especially warranted.

> Digital games could do the same, when you can’t make house rules without programming your own variant.

Or go the other way, as low-/no-code customization tools and online distribution make it easier to make and share variants than it is to do so at any scale with physical games, subject to the openness (both in design and social factors like IP status) of the base game.
If I'm hearing you correctly, it sounds like you're kind of setting a goal of reaching something like "X is True"? My thinking is, very often (usually?) the best that can be done is to decompose X down to as fine grained sub-components as possible, and then tentatively flag things with True/False/Unknown...or maybe even something more fine-grained than that ("Seems True", "Seems False").

From my perspective, the biggest issues are that we refer to issues with extremely ambiguous names/perspectives, and we assert true/false where it is absolutely not finalized. I believe that if there was a system run by a transparent, independent organization that took the definitions and the epistemic status of these issues very, very seriously, some people would start to have some trust in them, especially if they developed a track record over time.

What's ambiguous about it? Two meters behind a car at highway speeds can get you killed.

If it were a question only about cars at rest it would be phrased something like "how far behind a car should you stop when queued" or something of that nature.
Frankly I think the key thing that'll really get a lot of Julia adoption is a full-featured ML framework on par with TF, Pytorch, etc.

What we've noticed is the vast majority of the time it's the data scientist's code that's slow not the actual ML model bit. So allowing them to write very performant code with a dumpy-like syntax and not have to deal with painfully slow pandas, lack of true parallelism, etc. would be a true game changer for ML in industry.
They won't even wait that long. If they can find anyone on the internet telling other people to go give negative reviews to an app, they claim all negative reviews are due to that call to action. That gives them "justification" to delete all of them as "inauthentic".

No, the entire point of the article is to convince people to use PDF/A. Which I find comical since you have to go out of your way to check if a PDF is PDF/A compliant. If the web was run by PDF's, there's no reason why any big corporations would abide by those rules, and it'd be just as messy as HTML is today.
Nobody starts smoking because they like it. They get roped into it by others.

Pretty much everyone I know regrets they ever started. That's the difference. Many other drugs are actually nice to use.

> Your mileage will vary depending on your lender.

This is why I raised the issue. Some big prominent lenders do not allow this practice. (IIRC Wells Fargo & BofA fall into this category; they hold roughly $600B of mortgages between them.) IMHO it's not something to bank on before purchase unless your lender is willing to write the specific terms into the mortgage.

Reviewing the Fannie Mae requirements [1], it appears that you also need to either get to 75% LTV (not 80%) unless you have held the property for 5 years, so the 3-year timeout in the calculator is still not likely to be valid in many cases. (Also note the Fannie Mae requirements have changed in the last ~2 years and are subject to change going forward. I would not bank on this provision being exactly the same in 5 years.)

I agree with your points and think "convenience" is an oft misused term in this context. It is "inconvenient" for me to go downstairs to pick up my Uber Eats delivery. It is nothing short of toil to do the multitude of things required to guard privacy/kidneys.

I'll add, with regard to T1D, that I am fortunate enough to have an endocrinologist who is effectively an expert tasked with staying up to date with the science and facilitating the best outcomes for me, the patient. I am not sure if there is a parallel when it comes to privacy. Sure, there are orgs out there that will take your money and provide you with solutions that claim to guard privacy but it's difficult to confirm their intent and capability. My endo works in a regulated environment with statutes to guard against kickbacks and other bad behavior and has little incentive for malevolence.
Interestingly, you can use scheduling to make a non-amortized dynamic array. Your probably know this, but for other commenters who do not—

Keep two arrays, of size n and 2n. Initially the first has capacity c = n/2 and the second has capacity 0. Reads go to the first array. When you append, append one element to the first array, and copy two elements to the second array. By the time the first array is full, it has been entirely copied to the second array—so discard the first array, move the second array to be first, and allocate a new "next" array.

The same trick can be applied to many amortized data structures (but it gets very complicated when you have many operations).

> PDFs are unexpectedly well suited for that.

Not so surprising, really: the PDF standard evolved in parallel with Adobe's Flash between 2005 and 2010, which was then the key technology in Adobe's effort to keep a strategic toehold on the web. If Flash had not been a security clusterfuck, it might still be around. The PDF standard was always meant to be a complementary standard, and Adobe's attempted successor technologies have followed an even closer technological path.

The PDF standard has benefited from the fact that, unlike the W3C and WHATWG, surveillance capitalists have not been in the driving seat of its standardisation effort. Adobe's interests are not identical to those of the public, but they are not as essentially adversarial to them as the web standards bodies have been.

I doubt there is a zero-ban platform but happy to be proven wrong. If by spicy you mean adult content, MxR youtubers recently created an OnlyFans account since Youtube recently mass-demonetized about 360 of their videos. Bitchute may be an option for politically heated topics at least for now. Advertisers are steering clear of many topics and that is probably the root of the problem that is creating contention between platforms and their user-base. What agreements does your platform have with investors, advertisers and payment vendors that prevents this conundrum?
The one that gives me a headache is thinking about how to oversubscribe a GPU (or worse: 4 GPUs, as in the case of the Summit supercomputer).

Its I/O to send data to and from a GPU, and therefore its an I/O bound task somewhat. But there's also a significant amount of CPU work involved. Ideally, you want to balance CPU-work and GPU-work to maximize the work being done.

Fortunately, CUDA-streams seems like they'd mesh pretty well with coroutines (if enough code were there to support them). But if you're reaching for the "GPU-button", everything is compute-bound (if not, you're "doing it wrong"). So now you have a question of "how much to oversubscribe?"

Then again, that's why you just make the oversubscription-factor a #define and then test a lot to find the right factor.... EDIT: Or maybe you oversubscribe until the GPU / CPU runs out of VRAM / RAM. Oversubscription isn't really an issue with coroutines that are executed inside of a thread-pool: you aren't spending any CPU-time needlessly task-switching.
> I haven’t seen anyone try it, but consider a model of three options: 1. Free with lots of ads, 2. Paid but cheap with less ads, 3. Most costly but no ads.

This is essentially what Amazon does (did?) with their Fire tablets, excluding the completely free tier. There is an ad subsidized version and a more expensive ad free version of the same hardware.
They didn't fully clarify what kind of feedback the interviewer likely ended up giving in the end, though. I'd be curious to know if after they Googled it the interviewer acknowledged he was wrong and the interviewee was right. (I think they're kind of implying that, but it's unclear.)
Also from right before that paragraph in the introduction is this strange argument:

> Also there are famous scientists agree that NP=P. Hilbert, a great mathematician of the twentieth century, has afamous saying: we must know; we will know. It can be seen that Hilbert essentially agreed that NP equals P. Many mathematical problems in human history, including Hilbert's famous 23 mathematical problems, are constantly beingsolved. Isn't it a confirmation that NP equals P?

VR has given me a new sense of imagination and creativity, similar to what some might experience with 3D printing.

Being able to perceive a digital space in three dimensions is a significantly different human-computer interface than a 2D screen. It feels like so much more is possible once you break into the extra dimension.

From the outside, VR definitely has a dystopian look to it. But from the inside, it can give a sense of "creativity unlocked" once you start thinking about how to build immersive experiences. This liberating mindset, in some ways, is the opposite of what it appears to be on the outside.
> I largely agree with this but I think there was a marked turn for the worse when advertising became the dominant business model for just about everyone. That had two problems: the obvious one being that selling directly to users meant you had to prioritize their interests but a secondary issue being that it trained most people to think of $0 as what just about any service was worth.

Wasn't that part of those years? Free webmail, free search, free articles, all with display ads?

"Massively better performance" is a bit misleading: Julia is only massively better at certain workflows. The fastest data.frame library in ALL interpreted languages is consistently data.table, which is R. For in-memory data analysis, Julia will have to offer more than performance to win over statisticians/researchers.

I think paying an AI won’t be very satisfying, though. You can’t do sneaky things to a player that is essentially statistics on steroids - even if you pull it off, it’s likely not that you were sneaky that gave you the win, you just found a pattern it didn’t know. It’s dead, cold, calculating. Beating a human will always be more interesting, because you can talk about it, “ha, you could’ve mated me then in two moves,” etc.

Humans will never be replaced by anything less than humans.
