This is prisonner's dilemma / tragedy of the commons. The best-performing ads made more money, anyone who didn't grab attention enough would be strongly pushed towards grabbing more attention by industry norms. It was rational for every individual to grab more attention, but it was bad for the group.

I own an Index and would highly recommend it. Even if something was on the horizon. It's fantastic.

With that said I vaguely remember seeing a patent for a wireless index 2 recently. Can't remember where though so I may be wrong.
2^p - 1 can only be prime (a so-called Mersenne prime) if p is prime. 2^8 - 1 thus cannot be a prime, since 8 is composite.

(Note that is it not _sufficient_ that p is prime, but it is necessary.)
It's not a recent decision. It's a (low grade) debate that's spanned thousands of years now.
This. Clean and correct, but correct above all else.

A correct solution, even when not clean, isn't going to earn money. No one (except perhaps textbook publishers) will pay for a solution that is clean alone.

You can clean up a correct solution at a later date, all the while maintaining correctness; a clean (but incorrect) solution might need to be completely redesigned to make it correct.

I've come to accept that the best engineers are those who ship (you don't get to 10x productivity if you don't ever ship) and that often means being able to call the correct compromises to make. Heck, I'd even say engineering in general is finding a working compromise given a set of constraints.

I highly recommend staying away from Arch and NixOS if you're not ready to commit upwards of 30% of your work and free time fixing and tweaking your box.

I've tried both, Arch Linux will routinely hose your entire install if you don't carefully read the update notes every time (even if most of the time there is no call to action for you). Unless it has changed, this is still the expectation of users.

NixOS promises stability, you just walk back to a previous version! Alas, i've had NixOS hose _all_ of my previous versions because of X server issues. Not only that, but the community of NixOS is hostile to getting shit done, if its not the NixOS way please stay away,
There would be political backlash. But there’s political backlash right now with this program because it’s not universal.

When you change your AID, apps instantly link it to your old AID using several techniques:

1. Nearly every app stores an ID identifying installation of the app on your phone. When the app starts up, it sends this installation ID and your new AID to the server which now has both old and new AID. To prevent this, you must uninstall all apps, change your AID, and then reinstall apps. Deleting app data is insufficient because app install times are unique and easily obtained from app file timestamps. Android apps that have access to "external storage" will send file hashes to the server and identify you instantly.

2. When you sign into an app, it sends your IDs to the server which now has your old and new AID.

3. If you use an app that talks to a physical device, the physical device reports its serial number or unique network address. The app sends this to the server with your new AID. Any app can silently search for such devices on your network and extract their ID numbers. Examples of physical devices: fitness bands, anything BlueTooth, printers, remote-controlled lights, NFC tokens, and find-my-keys tokens.

4. If you use WiFi without a shared proxy (a VPN) then any app or even any website can simply send your (device type, IP address) pair to the ad network for de-anonymizing. No need for IDs at all. The moment you launch any ad-supported app on such a non-proxied Internet connection, the app will link your new AID to your identity. This happens when you connect to Wifi at work or friends' homes. Most VPN software fails open, so apps can get your IP address for a few seconds when the phone restarts and every time the VPN service is down or momentarily interrupted. Working around this takes knowledge and effort.

Once one app company sells your (Old AID, New AID) pair, this data enters the network of data brokers and is available to all.

TLDR: Changing your AID alone does nothing. Mobile privacy requires a fail-closed shared proxy (VPN), no data sharing between apps, and no reachable devices on the WiFi network.

It seems like this could be really risky, what with sophisticated equipment in the field being unready at time of crisis.

I doubt it though. I recall from "Best damn ship in the Navy", a chapter about how the navy had satellite communications on every modern ship. But still used the old communications system anyway because until everybody was trained on the new one, nobody wanted to use it. And nobody wanted to go first. (So in the Mediterranean this guy's ship sent their communications officer to each other ship in the area and trained them, but that's another story).

My son was in Iraq and relates that all the night vision and fancy portable display devices and whatnot got left in the barracks. For whatever reason, they just used radios and guns like they always had.

It's one thing for the military to fund and buy all the latest technology. But somebody on the ground has to give a flip, and get it trained and deployed effectively. Until then, it's irrelevant.
Hm, just wrote up an explanation[0] of BQN's high-rank searching, which is the same concept used in J and APL and turns into rank-sensitive search in K. The issue it addresses is that in array programming you'd like to search for each of an array of elements all at once, but this is hard to distinguish from just searching for the array itself. So you look at the entries of the array you're searching to see what rank they have, and from that determine how to split up the other argument. But BQN/J/APL and K are different in that the APL group uses multidimensional arrays, giving it a concept of rank (number of dimensions) that's separate from array nesting. K uses only 1-dimensional lists, and it considers the rank to be the level of nesting. With respect to rank-sensitive search this is kind of precarious. You might think of a structure as a list of lists, but will K interpret it as a matrix? So it's understandable you'd want to avoid it in K.

This difference in array models is also part of the reason why Dyalog's ⍸ does a "deep where". In APL it's not considered "deep" at all, because the argument is a numeric array; it would be called "high rank". There's still a problem with this version though, because the high-rank version of ⍸ needs each index[1] to be a list, but the normal version (when the argument is 1-dimensional) uses one number for an index. The results of ⍸ for different rank arguments are actually inconsistent. In BQN, I decided Where should just be restricted to the 1-dimensional case. I wrote a little more about the kinds of array indices at [2]. It's worth noting that K has this problem a lot less than APL, because most of the time you will only index into a single dimension. But with constructs like deep where these problems appear in K as well, and you'll end up with the same inconsistency if you try to combine the two versions.

I have always been fascinated about this. It isn't UBI by any means, but I am always curious about these "pilot" programs. California did a previous trial in Stockton, CA with $500 checks. You can find more information here: https://www.stocktondemonstration.org/ You can also find the first year of data on their website too.

Ray Dalio did a write up of UBI as well. https://www.economicprinciples.org/downloads/Primer-on-Unive...

Andrew Yang wrote up a good book over the topic with "The War on Normal People" that covers UBI more in depth. His interview with Ben Shapiro (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DHuRTvzMFw) and Joe Rogan covers it well also. I like his ideology and it seems well thought out.

We, I, have been so ingrained of thinking that capitalism is the best thing since swiss cheese, and it seems like socialism has some good aspects that we can adopt from as well.
> There's a reason the good old AK-47 - a design from 1946!

Not a great example. After a number of tweaks to try to simplify production it was eventually accepted that the original design wasn't conducive to mass-scale manufacturing. So it was redesigned from scratch as the AKM, which entered service in 1959. It used simple metal stampings instead of a milled receiver.

So the vast,vast majority of AK patterns you see on the news are actually AKM derivatives since very few countries ( Finland, Israel, Yugoslavia ) could justify using the original 47 design.
Compiling custom versions of proton are somewhat a thing of the past already.

I installed Steam on Debian sid via Flathub / Flatpak, and then installed https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom using their flatpak instructions as well.

Honestly, it has never been easier to get a version of proton that makes gaming on linux seamless. Of course, I understand "run these terminal commands" is the usual defensive linux nerd^H^H^H^H coward's reaction, but installing Steam and this package from flatpak and then going from there is a _vast_ improvement from yester-years. I've been fairly happy with it, and I didn't have to do any actual compiling / building!

I think it's almost painfully simple as a policy wonk question, really. Taxes. The wealthy industrialized nations of the world must come together, hammer out a framework for cooperation, and set a price for carbon pollution that will be phased in, both internally within their economies, and most importantly, as trade tariffs that incentivize the developing industrial economies where so much of the carbon pollution our standard of living is responsible for actually is produced.

I'm not sure on the ideal timeline but the taxes should start moderate and then gradually but steadily and painfully increase over a period of some time -- several decades, probably, until such point that energy derived from carbon-neutral sources is cheaper than energy derived from fossil fuels.

Throw the revenue generated at a mix of poverty relief to offset the humanitarian consequences of the above policy (which would be enormous without careful handling), subsidize clean energy developments, and whatever else comes to mind to offset the negatives or assist the process.

Doing this slowly and predictably is less of a shock treatment, and I do think this is an area where the market may well weave its "magic" given the appropriate incentives.

> I don't believe the same people who champion a UBI would suddenly become cold and say to a disabled recipient, "No, you will not get extra money because of your special needs. You will get nothing else because we dismantled your welfare benefits in order to give everyone a UBI."

Yep, I’ve been saying this forever. Once UBI is implemented you’re going to hear countless sob stories about how <some unexpected event occurred> and now the UBI recipient can’t afford food or rent. So there will be a push to implement some sort of emergency backstop behind UBI for these situations. And then a number of people will learn to exploit this system for extra bucks by claiming some sort of emergency, every single month.

The problem with all these feel good social programs is that the proponents always assume that everyone will behave properly and follow the rules as intended. They never account for the 10-20% of people who just want to game the system and ultimately cause its downfall.

Yes, and I'm not quite sure whether the GP was leaning more towards the 'some' or the 'all' side. I've encountered a lot of UBI proponents who fall into the 'all' camp, and use that as a selling point. I think the 'some' side is what would realistically happen, and even then, I think it would only end up being a tiny amount of the welfare system that ends up getting dismantled. Simply because the people fighting for UBI also fight against inequity and getting rid of programs specifically to fight inequity will be anathema to them.
They will realize the next step is price control (bc grocery becomes way too expensive), then land reform (bc rent becomes way too expensive, so the gov takes over lands), then, ...

I agree with this, although I'd lean more revenue neutral increase in externalizations of carbon consumption and reducing some other revenue source proportionately to avoid economic shocks.
Find a way to resolve it? You could negotiate or find another job that lets you manage the time you need to run your business. I don't think the options are necessarily limited to either quit employment and go full-time on the business or just working on the business during weekends. There's probably more options.
Aircraft are on very strict maintenance schedules and need to be signed off for airworthiness in order to fly. As the plane ages, this certification is usually signed off by an certified A&P mechanic. It's regulated (in most countries) and acts as the form of quality control. It's not like a car where you can just decide to continue operating at your own risk. (This doesn't generally apply to experimental aircraft, though). So in that context, airplanes are being continuously refurbished. That's also why it's relatively inexpensive to buy a plane, but extremely expensive to own one.

Flight hardware typically has much higher quality standards. Sometimes they use more exotic materials that don't have the background testing to ensure that quality. If you want to use a cheaper new seal material, for example, there's probably not much data available for its compatibility with hypergolic fuels. It's not uncommon to use one-off components in a design, which means they may not have the same type of well-tried process control during manufacture. Then you have the costs of maintaining hardware pedigree (chain-of-custody, maintenance of material test data, lot material coupons for later testing, some of which may need to be maintained in a bonded, climate controlled room etc.).

New materials and manufacturing processes will definitely help and I think SpaceX is doing good work here. But the demands of spaceflight adds constraints. Steel and titanium are the most common non-fatiguing materials. Steel may be too heavy so you might be left with only using titanium, which is much more expensive. And you still haven't done the compatibility testing etc. So while it's a trivial example, you can see how it can become a tough problem to factor in cost, quality, and speed.
That's actually wonderful news. Thanks
You're using outliers to invalidate far more accurate predictions of the ensemble. You're right about people like yourself. IMO they are not the norm.

I may be cynical about general expertise, as a support person, but large datasets have long been stock in trade of areas I'm more or less familiar with, whether "large" is TBs or PBs like CERN experiments.

My entire point is that it is not really necessary to do shared secret generation at any but a very slow rate. Even if you don't so it the Signal protocol way it is still perfectly reasonable to only do it once in a while. That might be a short while but it could reasonably be quite long.

I'm honestly not quite sure what you're talking about. I've been using Arch as my daily driver for maybe 5 or 6 years, and I don't recall ever having my installation messed up from an update. Arch is fair bit along the spectrum of being a "build your own system from the ground up" type of deal though (although not quite as far along as something like Gentoo), so I don't doubt your experience, given how much two Arch installations can differ.
When people see they can't push you, or can't counterargue your point, they play the good manners card "you are being brutally honest".

This reminds me of my favorite in-person magic trick to do.

First, memorize all the two-digit primes. 25 numbers isn't that hard to memorize.

Then, tell someone "Oh, I can instantly tell whether a number is prime or not. Give me a number, I'll tell you whether it's prime."

If they tell you a number between 1 and 100, use your memorized list. Otherwise, it's a game of cold reading; if they just generated a random string of many digits, there's a low chance that the number actually is prime. "21923847" is a keysmash, and it's almost certainly not prime, because the frequency of primes goes down as numbers get bigger. And most people will ask you a number, hear "no", and then go check the number's primality. Eventually, they'll look up a number in advance; that number is almost certainly prime.
Capacitive joysticks is really nice, it improves gyro aiming adjustments by letting the gyro only activate when a finger is on the joystick.
