This is a complete misrepresentation of my point. I never tried to 'paint "authoritarianism" as "lefty"'. I specified there's an issue with lefties who are also authoritarians. If you don't think that can exist and if you think it's not that big of a deal, I suggest you take a look at the latter-half of the 20th century. It's pretty uncharitable to paint my argument as being afraid of a student on a campus who's read the Communist Manifesto. That's not even in my argument and requires a lot of bad-faith interpolation to get to from what I said.

> viable threat of authoritarianism is coming from the opposite side

This is nothing more than whataboutism. There's authoritarians on both sides. They're both just as dangerous in the end-game. In Canada, it's the left mainly. In the US, there's highly vocal, and influential to public opinion, left wing authoritarians. In Canada lefty authoritarianism isn't just a fringe, it's mainstream. This is true in a lot of places too. I'm not sure why some folks insist on downplaying the risk of authoritarianism when it comes from the left as opposed to the right. Both kill just as many people, one just uses gas where the other uses starvation.

AFAIK if you live in a country like Canada with higher taxes you still have to file to maintain citizenship but you end up paying zero since you can deduct what you paid in your home country.

This would apply to people relocating to countries with a lower tax base. In that case you have to renounce.

I am not sure how you see that art production is exempt from the simple principle that authorship = ownership. Sure there are grey areas. One of the hardest jobs I have had as an art teacher in a university is defining (and explaining to students) a visual plagiarism policy.

Schema-on-read vs Schema-on-write are definitely relevant concepts.

I think SQLite sort of straddles the two -- it's sort of a loose schema-on-write (with type affinity to its base types), and schema-on-read (with respect to more complex types which is inferred from what is stored in base types)

I mean, people got to earn a living somehow after they leave politics, right? Would you ban certain positions? Or just give former politicians a salary for the remainder of their lives and forbid them from working? Or how else would you solve this?

Of course it all smells more than a little fishy, but I'm not really seeing any realistic way to solve it.
Of course! You can choose:
- Not to work
- Move to a city/state with better opportunities
- Take classes to specialize
- Work hard and get promoted
- Start your business

Cats are not naturally nocturnal. They are crepuscular—active during twilight and dawn.

And putting the cat out for the night is still very bad, both for the cat (average life expectancy of outdoor cats is something like 50-70% that of indoor cats) and for the environment (they are an invasive nonnative predator species).
I've heard that technically renouncing us citizenship to dodge taxes is illegal. But as with most things, that's only if you get caught.

Yes, pro's would roll 300 after 300 on a typical house pattern. It wouldn't be interesting.

I haven't watched in many years but I recall they started to show on broadcasts the oil pattern being used (they had 6 different types and they each had an animal name I think) and the announcers would detail how the pattern needed to be played for different types of bowler styles and left/right handedness. Lefties always have an advantage because fewer people bowl from that side so the oil doesn't get pushed around as much and they can create a "channel" from their own shots that "groove" the ball for them.

Each pattern has a different length down the lane (some are long, some are short) and different application of oil from side to side. A Google image search will show you examples.

I've bowled on them and they are humbling for someone who reliably shot over 200 on a typical house shot.

I see. I was responding to you, yes. And in this case I was more curious about your opinion - based on your previous knowledge - on the viability of Apple’s technology here, rather than the specific details of your work.

In my (uninformed) opinion - this looks like more of a bad faith move on Apples part that will maybe catch some bad actors but will be a net harmful result for apple’s users and society, as expressed in the Twitter thread.

Others who responded here though also seem to think it’ll be a viable technique.

> "Not one 9/11 terrorist entered the United States via Canada"

At least one organizer travelled from the Middle East to Canada to evade US flight watchlists, then later crossed into the US at the NY border. He is in an Egyptian prison now.

The above is well-reported, and there are interviews with his "Canadian family" online.

Besides him, his Canadian imam and mosque were likely heavily involved in his jihad. (Paris police find up to 50 co-conspirators for each jihadi shot to death.)
Bill Burr always had a good joke about inclusivity in politics, where the gist of it is - just because you have a woman, or a minority as your leader, doesn’t also mean that a woman or minority won’t be a corrupt piece of shit.

You’ll just have diversity in corruption, nothing will truly change, so don’t just blindly support these current ideologies.
> The problem with the whole argument is that these functions are not actually enough to work with SQL

My bad for being unclear but I meant you would be sanitising something like the user entering "tea cups" into a shop search input form and searching your shop product database with that. I didn't mean the user would be entering SQL queries.

> But either way, you can't fix it without modeling the entirety of SQL into your type system

Using the type system to check correctness sounds good to me.

This is getting way too into the weeds about SQL anyway. Null dereference checks are a less distracting example to focus on for instance. As long as you can encode it into the type system, all my points are still relevant.

yes, it is a database of hashes but I don't know if the hashes are public information per se although I am sure copies of it are floating around. But I am referring to the images that the hashes are generated from. There is no verification of these that I know of. No one would want to do that and if you did you might be breaking the law.

The law requires companies like Google and Apple to report when they find CSAM and afiact they would generate hashes and add to this database if new material is found.

I don't know if there is any oversight in this. It's all done behind closed doors so you just have to trust that the people creating the hashes aren't doing anything nefarious or mistaken and that's a separate point apart from what others have said on here that you should be able to trust your devices you own to not be informants against you.

That’s correct, Warrant would act as your authorization service, where you can store access rules for your system and check against them at runtime to protect access to your application.

>mRNA tech was for a long time believed to be non-essential

Please correct me if I am wrong, but this is is hard to believe. The mRNA tech provide obvious advantages in terms of production and quality control of the vaccines and reduced overall cost, because you no longer have to maintain this library of attenuated viruses..

Also you say

>advantages of mRNA would allow for either a faster development track or for a vaccine that could be changed more rapidly if the virus targeted would mutate.

So you agree that there is obvious advantages to mRNA tech, and we knew it is valuable because the mutation of viruses was not a new discovery that COVID provided.

Also, it seems unlikely that a Company like Moderna would invest in a tech that is currently considered as non-essential.

>The pandemic provided the right circumstances (read: funding)

Yes, this is the crux of my questions. What exactly did the funding enabled? What breakthrough did it yielded?

We already knew that advantages of mRNA would allow for either a faster development track or for a vaccine that could be changed more rapidly. So research funding did not disclose it, we already knew it.

So the questions still stands, sadly.

Also, I came across this article, which kind of says that

>In fact, right before winning federal funding for COVID vaccine development in March 2020, only 3 of Moderna's projects had made it past Phase 1 testing, and only one of these was a vaccine (a cytomegalovirus vaccine codenamed mRNA-1647).

And that kind of refute the claim that it was being blocked because it was seen as non-essential. Or do you think that results of clinical trials are rejected on the basis of how essential the technology is?

Yes, I forgot that Anbox is fully rooted, that means weakened sandboxing, that means only some very trusted or not sensible applications should be there.

Also, Anbox is not perfect - even some basic UI elements are broken (in the version I use for development). But it is good to have it.

Also, with 3GB of RAM we are not very far from a point of struggle with the resources.

Virtualization: I would like to see some benchmark results of the "NXP i.MX 8M" to roughly compare to the x86 Anbox experience, but I am not finding much data.
I don't want to bash amiga, actually I really envy the history and capabilities of that system. Nevertheless, posts like this are almost always seen through a bit of rose tinted glasses.

The part about DataTypes:

"Datatypes describe a file format and tell the OS how to handle it. Any datatype-aware program can use any file format as long as a relevant datatype is present."

Doesn't looks that different from how codecs are used in modern OS's. AFAIK, as soon as ffmpeg or gstreamer learns new formats or how to use hardware codecs, so does every program using them without the need of even recompiling. Of course, doing that 30 years ago is another thing.

And:

"RAD: is a fixed-size bootable RAM disk that survives soft reboots. Equivalents exist for most modern Operating Systems. They’re worth trying out. You don’t really know how useful they are till you lose them."

Maybe I can change my mind if I use them, but I really don't feel the need. On my notebook, I simply close the lid and when I open it, it is mostly in the same state I left; some system I used are stable enough to have months of uptime; using /tmp/ seems enough for me. I once had I power failure and recovering whatever was on /tmp/required booting from a keychain but it was easy to do and a very rare occurrence.

The "RAD:" may be interesting on not specially stable, non high uptime, /tmp/-lacking systems but I can't see how they can be relevant on modern OS's.
I’m glad I have a downvote button in this country.
I have so many questions about the implementation details.

1) Does this work only on iPhones or will it be iPads, as well?

2) Is this part of a system software update? I wonder if that will show up in the notes and how it would be spun. "In order to better protect our users ..."

3) If it is part of the system software update, will they be trying to make it run on older iDevices?

4) Is it just photos in your photo bin, iCloud, or does it start grabbing at network drives it attaches to? I could see the latter being prone to blowing up in their proverbial faces.

That's not how you frame it. You don't say simple, you say efficient. "I built a highly efficient system to do X that required only $$$ in monthly cloud spend and handled NN operations per second..."

You can also point out how fast you built it, since simpler systems often take less time.
I can understand how this situation happens, but honestly it really bothers me that it is the case. I see all this bloated slow software everywhere that pauses all the time and it is hard not to see "I've never done memory management" as part of the cause.

Well, unfortunately, address space isn't unlimited. In my experience developing 64-bit wasm engines, the typical approach of reserving 8GB of memory for each Wasm memory leads to address space exhaustion after only about 1000 memories (regardless of how many actual pages those memories use). Therefore for a long living VM that might load and unload hundreds or even thousands of programs (on different webpages for example), it's really important to clean up those reservations promptly.

In V8, cleaning up the reservations for Wasm memories is ultimately tied to garbage collection of the JS heap, since JS objects can root memory. That led to the somewhat clunky need to retry allocation in a loop, running a full GC if allocation fails the first few times (https://github.com/v8/v8/blob/master/src/objects/backing-sto...).

There are also fundamental kernel limitations on virtual memory size. They are system dependent but much lower than 2^64.
Open-source speech recognition is doing pretty good with projects such as VOSK, Athena, ESPNet and SpeechBrain.

Yes, and I'm weighing it based on various well educated professional (scientists, doctors, etc) putting forth the opinion that it is well worth the risk given the benefit to society as a whole.

Versus a bunch of people that refuse to get the vaccine because ... they feel like they are better able to analyze the facts than those well educated people.

There was literally an interview with a woman on NPR recently who said, "I have grand children, so I'm not getting the vaccine". Like... she thought that having grand children was a reason _not_ to get the vaccine. And she followed it up with "they don't think we're smart enough to make good decisions for our families". Here's the thing; "they" are clearly correct.

I just get so frustrated by this stance of "Science and facts are propaganda; _I_ know better, because I trust my gut. The welfare of society be damned".
I did development on a VM for 4 years because the corporate policy was to issue everyone the same spec machine. An i5 with 8GB of RAM and 120GB SSD is a lot more pain than a VM.

I think you're underplaying non-financial incentives.

I would rather have a job that pays $X but offers flexible work hours and vacation time that allows me to be a better parent, than a job that pays $1.5X but won't let me take a day or afternoon off to (e.g.) take my kid to the doctor, etc.

Granted, that probably applies more to WFH desk jobs than front-line nurses.
I dont know how you can take CNN seriously, they've repeatedly been show to suppress real information and promote single cases to support a narrative. They've even been caught bragging about this.

Regarding capacity, hospitals are designed to run at 90% capacity -- the state literally limits the number of hospitals in regions to ensure this is the case (i.e. hospitals stay profitable). ICU capacity is often at 100% and if you know anyone working in ICUs (I have multiple family members) this isn't new.

That being said, they will increase turn-over by reducing their current care level, etc.

Also should note, I can't help but feel this focus on Florida, Texas, Arkansas, etc is because they have banned masks and vaccine mandates.

If you look at actual hospitalizations and more importantly death rates you see something different: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covi...
