Or, from a different perspective, Google chooses to build a robust system that can paper over defects because human error is common, hard to test, & hard to detect when it comes to time AND the consequence of errors is a massive company wide outage.
agree and also over time, like lots of farming, ultimately control was more important that technique, so you get people who win at control, deciding the technique.
Yeah, I've pondered that too. My unfounded guess is that it's that they have very good foveated vision, essentially putting all their resolution into that center region.

And to be sure I'm also unclear on the optics. I think there are real physical limitations in small eyes, but presumably there are diminishing returns, and there's more than optics that define the quality of vision.
I’ll say it again. Make government handouts dependent on vaccination. No vaccination? Refund all benefits you got for COVID relief with interest. Walking around unvaccinated because science doesn’t apply to you is negligent and you are committing battery by knowingly inflicting others with a virus. Get over yourself and get it done.
Yeah but 32 ETH costs $90,000. A lot more than a minimally profitable mining rig.
The database distributed to phones is just hashes. By itself it can't be validated.
I think that's a rather quick judgement on moral philosophers as a whole based on the experience of someone who didn't even take the time to think through utilitarianism (one of the most controversial topics in moral philosophy) from the description you gave. I wouldn't be too quick to judge a major branch of philosophy like that.

I wouldn't judge the whole field of software engineering based on an intern's Java code either - and I likely wouldn't judge the field even based on an expert's Java code.
Ah I did the same before I had to work with ORMs a couple of years ago, I actually started working on a distributed table orm but gave up once work picked up: https://github.com/DylanEHolland/datablox

I’m a fan of rebuilding things to understand, just didn’t know if there was a good reason for a production app to use its own.
I have also been thinking about building something like this.

I believe there should be a presentation layer separate from the code. Give people tools to build an empty building (or city) via floorplans; allow them create pleasing spaces in VR. Then the actual code machinery (literally represented as machines) is built inside the various rooms.

My hope is that organizational/bikeshed concerns are funneled into the architectural/interior decoration layer, whereas engineering is housed in those 3D spaces relatively undisturbed. The needs of the code would exert influence on the architecture as new spaces would be required for new functions, or rooms would be rearranged to better reflect dependencies and coupling.
> Apple only cares about developers who are developing apps for their platforms

IDK, it often feels like they don't care much about them either. I mean you know because of the users they are kinda forced to feed up with apple anyway even if they don't like it.

I mean I work for a company developing a App (with web version) and if there is a target specific problem it's most times Apple:

- The first version(s) of our web version won't support Safari as it's technically simple impossible.

- We currently have to live with some dev annoyances for all targets due too apple taking to long to update their software stack (XCode/LLVM).

- The fact that (in difference to android) you can't just simply emulate iOS or install Safari on Linux/Windows can make testing harder (on CI we have do have Mac/iOs tests, so it's only harder instead of impossible).

- Even just some ad-hoc scripts around the dev workflow ran into problems because OS X lacking behind years (should we say over a decade by now?) when it comes to updating basic CLI/shell tools.

- Compared to windows documentation of some (especially new) things can be quite crappy in my experience.

- Long update cycles can mean you have to wait forever for bug fixes.

- ...

It often feels that when adding support for Windows/Linux/Android to a Linux/Windows/Android program written mostly with cross platform tooling would add 10% workload adding Apple support doubles the workload, or might not even be possible.

Oh and non of the problems we ran into had anything to do with privacy...
When mankind started burning Gasoline they never contemplated that burning fossil fuels would damage the atmosphere and lead to runaway warming ...

It's the law of UNINTENDED consequences.

This seems like it could be even WORSE. I fear damage to the earth in unknown ways. Let's NOT make more tunnels ...
Which sort of presumes that there are other places said people can shuffle off to. Their occupation of public parks is largely due to not having a designated place to go, or enough shelter beds, or a myriad of other problems.

One who has no home has fewer options on where to plop with all their things.

Individually, one could analyze each situation, collectively and systemically speaking, you will ALWAYS have homeless people when there is no housing safety net.
there are a myriad of things can can occur in individual lives.

Homeless tourism is something that should be worked out between the desirable locations and the locations of origin that likely kick the responsibility can down the road in running homeless OUT of town, and hence to SF or wherever.

Honolulu and beach bummmery is something I've no knowledge of. Actual homelessness is something that doesn't occur much anywhere else I've seen in the world to the same level as it does in USA.
I suppose that many places have folks migrating to the city from countryside regions in the hopes of a job and potentially falling on their face. I'm not sure where those folks are in many nations that I've seen (about 50, mostly Europe, South America, Asia, and North America)
One weird trick to shrink convolutional networks for TinyML
“The human condition” is called that because it describes the set of innate features (or bugs) of human existence. There’s nothing more bootlicking than believing money will let you escape it.
Sure. And as I mentioned, there will be screw ups along the way. As with any new capability/tech be it nuclear power or recombinant DNA or ability to locate CP, there can be legitimate uses that we can rally behind and ways for them to be abused.

Checks and balances are never a done deal. If we reject checks and balances and as a result reject new tech because of abuse potential, how then should we as a civilisation advance?
Mandatory vaccinations are much more digestable [than seat belts]
At a fundamental level, emacs is difficult because the crowd says it is difficult.

Oddly, I am not even claiming it isn't true. But it is the same fear that folks have in avoiding computers entirely. Not wrong, but fairly easy to overcome.
I have no idea of which project you're talking about, so I think it would help if you explained what it looked like. Do you have any screenshots?

How do you navigate it? How do you search for text in VR?

What do you visualize exactly?

Is it a static or a dynamic display? Can you drill down to actual lines of code?

How do you deal with large projects? Vircadia has 400K LOC and 11K files.
Reducing System Load with Event Compression
Just wanted to cosign that this is absolutely a real-world concern. For that reason I always try to make huge reservations as early in the process lifecycle as possible [1] and then subdivide them from there. Then you can know ahead of time how much space you have to work with. This still has potential composability issues, but partitioning the address space like this before VA fragmentation becomes an issue really helps when you have a greedy VA reserver competing against typical workloads (and their malloc's mmap/VirtualAlloc requests), especially in long-running programs.

[1] Ideally before most shared libraries have been loaded. I should do a simulation to get some quantitative estimates, but my hunch is that ASLR hurts badly even if each loaded library only takes up one 4 kB page. E.g. if you have an empty address space, allocate a 4 kB page at a random address and split the space in two around it, then try to densely pack as many 8 GB ranges in there as possible, you lose one potential 8 GB range (even if the ranges only require 4 kB alignment for their base address). Whenever such splits don't land in the same 8 GB clump, you lose a potential 8 GB range per split.
You’re the problem. If I get sick because of you, are you willing to be sued for your negligent and intentional infliction of harm? Doubt it. Get over yourself and help society.

The largest enterprise support OIDC just fine.

Active Directory support both SAML and OIDC as of version 2016. Okta and similar support both indifferently.

SAML had a head start of a few years but OIDC caught up. It's helping that all social sign-on are exclusively OIDC.

Russian and ex-Soviet countries with human trafficking mafias host several fucked up people who produce this crap.
He ought to get better at it then.

He makes no mention of the riots that would ensue, the extreme data privacy issues, the medical ethics involved in sticking people without their consent, or the fact that these governments and companies have abysmal track records with involuntary medical experimentation.
It’s very sad to me that a major current of US politics is so anti-govt for anti-govt sake, rather than sound reason, that such behavior even occurs to people. What’s even worse is much of the libertarian/right wing anti-gov furor is pushed by lobbyists and “think tanks” both funded by major industries that want to avoid any kind of regulation.. yet it gets boiled down and refined into culture wars that people happily will absorb into their own psyche.

As much as freedom of speech and decentralization is important, constant attacks on this and that in isolation lead to the incorrect conclusion that everything must be thrown away. It’s a product of no one person, but many contribute to the entire macro problem, which means no one also will accept responsibility for the entire mess that were now in such that half the country doesn’t want to save their own and others lives despite a dangerous pandemic by using a safe and paid for vaccine alternative.
That’s not ambiguous though. The answer is, unambiguously, that we don’t know how many seconds there will be. But we can still agree to meet at that time, assuming we will both continue using the same time standard.
Well then you need to find out what you need to do to qualify for a job that will expose you to what you need to get to the 3B.
I think Apple has always installed software on their users' devices with explicit intent to harm their customers.
This instance just makes is a little bit more obvious what the harm is but not enough to harm Apple's bottom line.
Eventually Apple will do something that will be obvious to everyone but by then it will probably be too late for most people to leave the walled garden (prison).
Science doesn’t apply to you either? Like helping the virus spread? Endanger yourself and family? Cool. But if you pass it on to anyone, you’re liable. How about that? Prepared for that? Have means to pay for care and long term effects? Economic damage to society?

This site is so liberal except when it matters.
oh no! My best guess would be that there are many element-heavy SVGs on the page. I was hoping for better performance, since the files will almost definitely be smaller than large raster images, but there are likely older browsers that have trouble with that. I'll look into it, thanks for the report!
there are a lot of personal things that would be great to know in order to make "informed decision". Why stop at vaccinations? Like in Black Mirror you get all the info available about a person you are about to associate with.

>they can make an informed decision.

fortunately they can make it without knowing like all other people do in similar situation of unaccessible personal data - they can politely ask and/or just treat "unknown" as "unvaccinated".
For instance: The McDonald's app uses SafetyNet and won't run on an unlocked device.[1] Google doesn't place any restrictions on which types of apps can use SafetyNet. Banking apps tend to use it, but so do an increasing number of apps that clearly shouldn't need it.

(For the record, I don't think SafetyNet should exist at all, but if Google is pretending it's for the user's security and not just to allow developers to make it harder to reverse engineer their fast food apps, they should at least set some boundaries.)

It's frustrating that Google has fostered an ecosystem where not all "Android apps" work on vanilla Android.

I can't disagree with that, but the problem with the notion that there are secret biosphere projects is that it's hard to keep secrets. The more people know, the easier it is for knowledge to leak. Conversely, research is hard, and the number of researchers required grows with the complexity of the research. Biospheres are incredibly complex, ergo private secret biosphere projects are almost certainly doomed to fail.
> This means there's little room for ambiguity about the length of a message, and might leave you wondering how desync attacks using HTTP/2 are possible. The answer is HTTP/2 downgrading.

I would guess a huge percentage of attacks are made possible because of protocol or algorithm downgrading. I wonder if built in downgrading abilities into protocols is a security smell.
Well good thing they're looking at it anyway client side...
Zig looks promising because it has an actual leader, putting their name and skin in the game. I think a single visionary must provide a personal commitment to their language and take risks on its behalf, at least during its infancy. Or else no one person wants to be responsible for the language, leaving it overwhelmed, trying to satisfy everyone at once. Zig vs Rust in a nutshell.

New languages that lose their founder tend to flounder.
I don’t know about seatbelts, but airbags, which are also mandatory (I believe) have been proven in certain cases to have actually caused more harm than good.

So much microfocus on the rare harm is losing the forest for the trees, particularly when the alternative is a mutating often deadly virus.
Are you willing to be sued for the psychological and physiological distress your comment caused me? Doubt it. Get over yourself and stop telling others what they should be doing.
If photos become E2EE, then Apple can no longer turn over said photos, while still not completely turning down their CSAM scanning obligations.
Seriously? You’re right with him. Contributing to misery. Maybe you need to have a long COVID relative to understand the pain. Or a death in family or friends. Is your “freedom” worth others’ loss?
Actually never mind, those commands don't know anything about true colors (> 256). I think you want to check for $COLORTERM according to https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728 ?

So you agree he was killed and didn't deserve to die. You are just annoyed that such a "fuss" was made about it, and that he was black has nothing to do with it.

Got it.
Just wanted to say I appreciate the intellectual humility here. "I don't know if this is right for everyone, but it is right for me" is pretty refreshing.

The tribalism and moralizing around the vaccines is really troubling. You're either a saint or moron; hero or traitor. Depending on left/right and vax status.

The polarization doesn't surprise me at all (having lived through the last ~5 years in the US) but it is disappointing.

Without riders and earmarks there's no way to get someone to support your bill if they don't like the concept to start with. There's no downside for not supporting a bill, so cutting half of its provisions will still half to vote against. Riders and earmarks allow politicians to secure minor wins that they can sell to their electorate as the reason for supporting a bill.

And most of these things would simply never pass as standalone bills, being too small and local for Congress as a whole, and too expensive or cross-jurisdictional for state governments.
Sounds like the movie Equilibrium:

In an oppressive future where all forms of feeling are illegal, a man in charge of enforcing the law rises to overthrow the system and state.
What about this deal? We can start discussing vaccination mandates when the companies producing the vaccines, are willing to declare the safety of the vaccines they produce and accept the corresponding liability?

Something they did for all previous products they brought to market, but that every single company refused to do for
the vaccines they are producing.

Before you reply that this was a pandemic emergency, it was a required waiver to be able to get results quickly, accept then that the compromise was needed by the justified uncertainty concerning medical side effects.

We start to discuss 3th doses and possible a 4th. CEO of
companies like Pfizer already mentioned "annual vaccination". Looks like a dangerous path of a society that will mandate from now on, specific medication to achieve a first class citizen status. At a certain point, many would choose the medical risk over government mandated medication as a condition for first class citizenship.

Its about the principle. Many would call it a selfish position as you forget about the dangers you could pose to others if you get infected. Surely this must be a discussion guided by the principle the interests
of society do not trump certain individual rights ?

What if a new variation is discovered and find out that mostly spreads only via overweight people, or people with a certain genetic predisposition. What other individual mandates would you apply then ?
I've been burnt one too many times by trying to "upgrade" to HTTP/2.

It simply broke client certificate authentication and NTLM authentication, leaving only cookie-based authentication fully functional.

Can you guess which two of the three popular authentication mechanisms Google doesn't use?

It's not a protocol designed to advance the Internet, it's a protocol designed by Google to shave 1% off their network bill.

The problem with our world now is that there is nowhere left for freedom seekers to go. Rights have been taken and trampled by every government.

Viruses cannot be proven to be contagious nor can they ever be proven to cause illness. vaccine at best is proven to becequivalent of a steroid. It may temporarily prevent symptoms from appearing but it is not proven to have network effects and convey herd immunity.

Humans in fear will do anything. Our world is entrapped by fear.
TL;DR -- The author salivates imagining a future where humans are coerced into accepting the injection of heavy metals into their bloodstreams while the poison pushers remain fully indemnified.

What a hero!
Renewable energy is the most likely solution to this problem. Wind and solar are ready to scale and take over electricity generation.

Wind, solar, batteries, and transmission lines. That is a solution we could deploy today and it is being deployed today. There is a further backlog of wind projects in the US that could be unlocked if we approve transmission lines (like SOO Green) to bring power from the Midwest to the Northeast.

https://www.volts.wtf/p/transmission-fortnight-burying-power

The amount of power that we produce from nuclear in the US basically hasn't changed in 20 years. Wind has gone from almost zero to 8.4% of our total production in 15 years. Solar has gone from almost zero to 2.3% in 5 years. I expect that the US will be producing more power from wind than coal in 5 years.
The 1200 launched after the 3000. I think it was the last model to be launched.
Spot on! It's a space I've been wanting to explore, and so have been tinkering with it this last week while we're in between larger projects. I definitely don't see it being a product in it's current gotten, but wanted to share the exploration! Although I will say that the more I've been visualizing different repos, the more convinced I am that it's more useful than is easy to convey.
To be fair, you can compare those 80 CUs to the Xbox Series X 52 CUs. Or to any other AMD’s RDNA2 GPU out there. You are going to need to know what’s the core frequency and other GPU specs to properly compare but it is not just marketing.
C has the concept of bit fields, and this could be specified as:

struct build_info_control
{
unsigned char : 1;
unsigned char SendSeq : 3;
unsigned char Poll : 1;
unsigned char RecvSeq : 3;
};

struct build_info_control control;

control.SendSeq = sendSeq;
control.Poll = true;
control.RecvSeq = recvSeq;

The downside of bit fields is that they are implementation specific---you'll have to check the compiler documentation to see if the bits are specified "most significant bit to least significant bit" or "least significant bit to most significant bit" (if that is indeed, important to the problem).
I really really want to like these sorts of visualizations. But they just fall flat on me.

The "you can see really quickly..." text is scrolling by and I'm like... "Nope, that picture still means nothing to me." :(. It starts highlighting different parts and I'm completely at a loss on what is highlighted.

I do think this can be very effective once I'm trained on it. Such that I plan to play with it. But I just don't visually think of programs in anything close to this manner.

Anyone know if studies that explore how we think of our programs?
The point is that it is pretty much impossible to overdose on vaccine shots - they just get less effective.

So if the requirement is to have be received a full vaccine course for COVID-19 there is no risk to that, just potential waste of doses.

Making up a decision about your natural immunity is you doing exactly that. It's not supported by data.
Don't forget: this was leaked. Apple may never have told us. They could have released some of the features without letting on about the scanning.
