The concept of alpha, beta, etc in wolves was observed in captivity, and then incorrectly extrapolated to describe wild populations. Now science is finding that if you put a social species in a captive environment with unfamiliar stressors and dissolve the existing natural social groups that would have existed freely, unnatural social hierarchies develop to fill the gap.

Is there a secure, easy way to host things from your own home server or do you have to colocate somewhere in the cloud? Is the lack of viability a problem being imposed on us based on speed limitations from ISPs?
Custom asset import is also much better than for Unreal, even making an asset exporter is easy.

If for example the target is to re-make an old game in a modern engine, Unity is the better choice.

Oh. So that's why my paper back books arrive curled or folded.
The hash is a pictorial representation of the image, and not quite a checksum of the raw file data (like MD5 etc.). I would expect that even photos of printed photos would still have the same pictorial hash (if the photos are properly aligned), where obviously the cryptographic hash would be much different (since it's not an exact replica of the original image) but in the ML's eyes (bearing in mind the pictorial hash is generated through machine learning afaik), there would be a very strong match between visually similar images.

I suppose that it's a bit like when you do a reverse image search on your favourite search engine. When you upload an image, the engine will try and find images that the ML thinks look the same, even if the bits and bytes that make up the file are different. From what I can see, the similarity detection will be much more specific so as to not generate false positives. As you theorise though, it might be possible to modify images to evade detection if the hash's match specificity is high enough.

All bearing in mind that the pictorial hash also is supposedly designed to be a one-way function to ensure that those who know file hashes don't know what the original contents of the file are.

Ten Years of Kotlin: The Story of the Programming Language
Me and my colleagues have not heard a single patient beg for the vaccine, tell us to fuck off as we intubate them (if they're able to do that, they have to consent to it), and I haven't heard any of my staff do anything that suggests animosity toward unvaccinated patients. There is plenty of animosity toward the families of elderly, bedbound, nonverbal patients that demand they be hospitalized every time they "seem more confused than usual." The vast majority of nurses here are unvaccinated, but most had COVID-19 last year prior to the vaccine if the rumors I hear from them are true.

May I practice medicine in some outlier area, but all the headlines I've seen just seem to dramatize things. The one about the doctor who claimed she would tell patients "it's too late" then intubate them soundly particularly like bullshit.

Apple's plan to “think different” about encryption opens a backdoor to your life
Yeah - even where I am there has been a pull back on stuff.

We've got a ban on plastic straws (ie, you can't use one then throw it in the trash in the resteraunt) to help save nature. But you go outside and the amount of trash just blowing into the water from various encampments near the water is just nuts.

Their are claims of concerns about carbon emissions, but absolute opposition to any work around nuclear. If carbon emissions was the or a very important issue, you'd be going full out on lots of ideas.

I followed the attempted development of a solar install closely in a rich / white area (hard left otherwise). It was fought tooth and nail. the erosion underneath, the shading of a creek, this and that. Really - they didn't want to look at it. Full stop.

So yes, even my early passion for some things have moderated a bit. It seems to be the left telling other people how to live. Heaven forbid folks live in smaller houses in the US, instead we are on china for their emissions (likely half per capita of US?)

I'd love to see more problem solving from the left, rather than the sort of in your face bans on things. Can't we tax plastic straws 1 cent per straw or do a carbon tax or something that's a bit less nanny state style or so random and arbitrary?

Glad you liked the GIFs! Will have to take a look at this. Thanks for sharing!
I find the recording UI a bit annoying. They make it unnecessary hard to re-record a clip. Re-recording the previous clip is likely to be a common thing to do. Instead of providing a shortcut for this, they have shortcuts for re-recording each of the individual 5 clips..

It's also impossible (?) to undo a clip. Eg.: If I've already recorded 3 clips and mistakenly begin a clip I simply can't pronounce correctly, there's no way of removing that clip without discarding the whole set. (EDIT: it is possible by re-recording that clip and pressing skip)
Thanks for the response! It is interesting to see the surge in popularity of Zanzibar. Completely agree that Zanzibar itself isn't too difficult to implement (especially since Google published a paper on it). It does provide great flexibility though.

I don't agree with your point that it requires developers to re-architect their systems or that it doesn't handle attribute-based controls well. If anything, I think Zanzibar actually helps developers enforce the best authz practices in their system. This becomes increasingly helpful as an application changes or grows in complexity.

To be clear, Warrant isn't just a Zanzibar implementation. We're building Authz as a service with devxp as the central focus.
The OCSP example is stupid and people should stop using it. Apple was following an RFC written specifically because PKI sucks.
Not OP, but macOS here on a MacBook Pro less than a year old. Emacs has always tempted me, but a number of commands take roughly 2-5x the time compared to something like vscode.

Every time I get back to trying out emacs again, I find myself wondering why I would bother with the massive time sink to get it customized to be a sub-par equivalent to another tool that works better for me.

Doom emacs comes the closest for pre-configured setups, but even that isn't halfway to the productivity of what I am trying to replace.

What I really wish is sublime had gone with something other than python for plugins, and was more scriptable overall...
Except vaccination is a prime argument for not having masks. Especially since we are at a point where it is reasonable to assume that anyone who wants a vaccine has gotten one and the remainder are on the fence or are choosing not to get one (at least in the US). Thus, the argument for wearing masks (to protect people) is no longer relevant because those who have not gotten the vaccination have accepted the risk of the disease and have decided they are protected enough. EDIT: This acceptance indicates that there is no longer a need to wear masks as a form of protection.
Eek.. will this apply to Oculus Quest too? That's also kinda a closed platform

So my concern about this has less to do with the technology itself, and more to do with...

What happens when lawmakers make this mandatory? In such a way where the user can't be allowed to remove it?

If that ever happens, you've just outlawed phones/computers that allow their users to have ultimate control over the software running on them. No more alternative desktop/mobile OSes.

Oops.
This raises some questions. Suppose my hypothetical 17-year-old daughter does send nudes to her boyfriend, and suppose I as a parent am totally okay with this. If this technology isn't using exact-file-matches but heuristics on the file, is there some world where this consensual naked photo gets sent as "evidence" to Apple/NCMEC?

"Apple then manually reviews each report to confirm there is a match, disables the user’s account, and sends a report to NCMEC" -- So doesn't "reviewing reports" in this hypothetical mean looking at a child's nudes without consents in this case? The documentation left out the part where this file, stored entirely locally, gets uploaded to apple. Or does this only happen for iCloud?
While I share your view that child abuse is a serious problem that hackers and privacy advocates would prefer to wish away, the idea that child abusers' decision calculus is centered on the need to have an iPhone seems bizarre.

Anyone motivated to engage in that kind of behavior is just going to use a different device for their illicit material.
My understanding is that US-ian expats can collect Social Security while outside the country (not sure if it can be deposited, as we're not doing that). Medicare has no meaning outside the US but we're eligible. Non- (and I assuming renounced) citizens can't get Social Security unless they live in the US, I think. And don't forget there's also a foreign tax credit as well as the Earned Income exclusion.
One could actually say they push code, although "code" in this context means law.
Thanks! It's the first game I've made that will actually be released, I'm excited to see people play it.
I'd like to add the biggest issues from the point of view of a small independent game studio:

* Open bugs from years ago

* Refusal to fix bugs in the LTR = long term support version. They always try to weasel their way out by asking you to upgrade to the latest beta, which nobody will do mid-production.

* No source code access and no option to purchase it, because they are above negotiating prices with small companies.

* Bug reports are forcibly kept secret. For example, try searching for "Particle Rendering Errors & Flickering - Last light color in unity_LightColor0[] multiplied by random small number" which is a bug that affects 2018 LTR, 2019 LTR, and 2020 LTR and is still unfixed. (It's ID 1242620)

As the game developer, you're then forced to work around bugs in the Unity C++ core with pixel shaders and the stuff that they expose to C#, which is horrible for readability and (of course) very fragile.

Contrast that with UE where you have full source code and can step through things in a debugger...
The coriolis effect only applies to things in motion, it adds a perceived bend. Something still has to drive the motion. Currently that's the cold water sinking in the arctic. Fresh water influx from melting and additional warming can lead to stratification which prevents it from sinking. This will lead to overall less ocean circulation which will have more detrimental effects beyond just altering europe's weather patterns.
I suspect some shitty DRM that gives you access for a while with attempts to limit your ability to save, copy or print the article?

Scummy practice nonetheless. Sci-hub doesn't have this yet but I expect it to appear there soon enough.

I did plenty of the usual bitwise stuff in C in my undergrad years and recently dove back into K&R C to see if I could re-learn it. No lack of curiosity here.

In general I agree with you; I just don't think demanding that my developers know bitwise stuff is the particular hill upon which I'd like to die. There are other fundamentals I'd value far more highly and would consider to be hard requirements such as understanding data structures and some decent idea of big-O, and a few other things as well.
The truth of the story is Unity just changed how Xbox builds work, and not much more.

Console manufacturers providing tools for development after you join their dev programs is bog standard stuff. In fact only needing a key is a huge step forward, back in the Wii-U days Nintendo would provide the actual binary of Unity Pro with changes baked in, not even a key.

If I had to guess Sony and Nintendo are paying some sort of fee to get those Pro licenses they then give to devs for free, and MS was relying on the fact that Unity didn't gate console targets.

Now Unity is forcing MS to join the program, which really isn't unreasonable to me. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's a way to recoup the very real cost Unity incurs supporting these targets to the benefit of the manufacturers.

As I recall, at one point MySQL drew significant criticism (or at least skepticism) for being dual licensed and requiring contributors to relinquish copyright to their code. To many, it felt like the goal was to lure you in and then change the license model once you'd adopted it fully.

This was many years ago, before Oracle even entered the picture, but my guess is that that is what GP is remembering.

They trained a neural net to perturb images. Not classify them.[1]

They did add a classifier to iMessage. But it's designed to prevent children seeing any sexually explicit images.[2] There wouldn't be a reason to train it on images of children specifically.

> M1 Linux does not have a cool logo or name

Wonder if this is a subtle jab at Asahi Linux. Hopefully not, as I was thoroughly unamused by Corellium’s previous antics regarding Asahi Linux. It would be a lot nicer to see at least polite relations in the future, if not collaboration…
i didn't say they were. Facebook telling people to stop hoovering data about them while hoovering data about everyone else on the planet is.
I don't think it's a holy war, I think it's recruitment and timing. I'm assuming they rather remain purely C and invest in better tooling, but attracting new maintainers is hard, writing better tooling needs maintainers, and rust checked their minimum requirements boxes. It's cool to see the project exploring new paths.
So can I just like disable updates right now and not get this malware when it comes out in the future, or will it be some evil OTA update?
Thank you! I think I was actually corrected on that once before, but maybe this time it'll stick =)
Re (3):

There is a terminal-only version, and it's not even new. It should be available without any build flags, though maybe you'll need a launch flag. Try emacs -nw from the terminal if emacs by itself launches a GUI window for you.
Taking a step back, I've dropped hints a few different ways at previous positions, "I need X to happen to be happy", "Y really hurts my jobs satisfaction", etc. Yet they always seem surprised when I eventually try for something better, or at least a change, and leave. My last job I dropped what I thought were clear hints at 6, 3, and 1 month before leaving (I had my own private ultimatum timeline).

It's not very professional, but I feel like I have to say, "do X or I'm going to quit". Not very professional, and probably wouldn't go over well, but saying it politely doesn't seem to get the message across.
They need to at least have a canary clause that can be tracked to determine if they had complied with any such requests.
Indeed, i was talking about multi-TB tables. From the postgres v13 docs (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-altertable.html):

> Adding a column with a volatile DEFAULT or changing the type of an existing column will require the entire table and its indexes to be rewritten. As an exception, when changing the type of an existing column, if the USING clause does not change the column contents and the old type is either binary coercible to the new type or an unconstrained domain over the new type, a table rewrite is not needed; but any indexes on the affected columns must still be rebuilt. Table and/or index rebuilds may take a significant amount of time for a large table; and will temporarily require as much as double the disk space.

Clearly there are workarounds where you make a new empty column that you then slowly backfill with the correct value and eventually transactionally rename the new column to the old one, but the magic "oh postgres does DDL in a transaction so it's magic and we never have to worry" is pretty much gone at that point.
>The false-positive will be cleared up and no reputations sullied...

This is dangerously naive. The US justice system alone will hound people on goosed up charges and try to get people to accept a plea deal and write a bogus confession. Parallel construction. Additionally if you can't audit the database (I'd bet very few people can, including your senator) how do you know a hash of something not CP wasn't inserted into the database. This entire system screams ready for govt overreach. It's worse than normal since there'll be no public evidence when it's abused.
It’s perceptual hashing not AI classification. “NeuralHash is a perceptual hashing function that maps images to numbers.”

The perceptual hashing is based on AI techniques. “The system computes these hashes by using an embedding network to produce image descriptors and then converting those descriptors to integers using a Hyperplane LSH (Locality Sensitivity Hashing) process.”

The difference is AI classification is based on defining something as say a “Cat” and then the AI spits some association with how cat like the image is. This extracts features from an image then compares lists of features to specific images.

I wrote up an edit for my comment but then barely missed the edit deadline, so I'll have to do it this way: I realized my comments on driver issues are a little snarky, sorry for that. Please ignore that part of my comment.

Using more neutral language, my main point is that Linux drivers nowadays are better than their historically bad reputation would suggest, and that they often offer a better or at least comparable out-of-the-box experience compared to Windows drivers. An important caveat is that free software-oriented distributions often make it somewhat more difficult to enable on-free firmware or drivers.
The problem here is not whether the programmer should know whether binary operators exist. It's that s/he couldn't ask someone or google it before implementing a terrible solution.

I'm going to bet 100:1 that Android and Windows with Mac in tow are going to follow soon with their own implementations (though most likely technology supplied by three letter agencies) in next three years.
