Well said. If Apple wanted to keep children safe they would fund investigations into allegations of child abuse.
Everything religious has a reason until you point out why that doesn't make sense, and then the response is, "it's a metaphor, don't take it seriously".

I'm going to extend that pattern to it's logical conclusion and conclude that none of it makes sense and nobody should take any of it seriously.
There's definitely a market for rarer, more unusual machines out there. I'm thinking of NeXTcubes, BeBoxes, 20th Anniversary Macintoshes, etc. Heck, the prices for Commodore 64s and Apple IIs in decent condition are skyrocketing.

These machines can't compete with modern hardware, but their rarity and the nostalgia factor are driving their prices.

> The customer and non-technical people won’t understand or value the quality steps in development, but you have to insist on it.

Given the transient nature of developers (mentioned in the article as a reason for them not caring about code quality), are they going to be any more willing to engage in regular arguments?
I've had the timer on for about a year now, it's pretty nice not to have all that history accumulate. On my device or others'. One week was a bit short though, I'm glad they added 4 weeks recently.
Yeah ok mr influencer. I’ll be sure not to get knocked off my canoe by your ripples.

There are already cases linked in other comments where the same hash dataset has had valid hits, via Google-stored photos, iirc.

All your posturing is just that: posturing. As with so many things they offer via iCloud, Apple does offer non-cloud solutions for most things their devices do, and in such scenarios the data is not subjected to the things people often object to (hash scanning in this case, unencrypted iOS backups, etc etc).

As has been pointed out elsewhere this is not about breaking encryption or arbitrarily browsing through all your dick pics or whatever. It’s a compromise to be able to say that Apple is doing something with a reasonable expectation of effectiveness to combat child abuse materials, without needing to just give whichever prick inhabits the FBI directors chair an easy way to view everything you store in iCloud.

And as I said if you’re not happy with that compromise you can turn off iCloud photos, the same as you can turn off iCloud backups.

So, you can believe all you want about what criminals will or won’t do or about how smart they are or are not, and even about how much influence you have over other peoples buying decisions. Just remember though, believing something doesn’t necessarily mean you’re right.
This is overlong and pretty florid, but its conclusion (that a long record of forked changes, each being good for big ETH holders but bad for miners, is roughly equivalent to the self-dealing of wealthy insiders in the traditional financial world) doesn't seem wrong.

Use n copies of the filter staggered in time. Start one on first day/hour/some-time-unit, then on next tick of time unit start a new one. The one started on day 2 lacks the entries from day 1. For checking, only use the oldest one. On the nth day, as you are making yet another one, discard the oldest one and the second oldest one becomes the new oldest one. The oldest one always has n time units of data in it.

> As a Bitcoiner I find these actions intolerable and unacceptable. I know none of them would ever be accepted in Bitcoin.

This sums up the whole piece in my view. Bitcoin development stagnated years ago exactly because nobody involved wanted to change/hard fork it to implement improvements.

For people who want a Bitcoin-like Ethereum with no DAO fork or staking there's Ethereum Classic.
As the sibling commenter suggested, it's not as simple as renting a mailbox -- HR departments and tax collection agencies are not that dumb.

However, I suspect that one reason the housing market has gotten so crazy (California perspective here) is that many Silicon Valley tech folks bought houses in Sacramento/Tahoe/$CHEAP_PLACE while also keeping their houses in SV but renting them out. As long as the rent payment covers most of the mortgage, they build equity and eventually own the house, while also having a nice big house to work remote from. And perhaps they quietly keep using the SV house as their official residence for HR/tax purposes.
The great part about cryptocurrency is that if you don’t want it, don’t buy it - don’t read about it - don’t do anything. It is a purely voluntary system. If you want to avoid US Dollars, it’s essentially impossible for most people.

I wrote a blog post about this relatively recently.

I was incredibly frustrated with everyone I spoke to having a different definition of DevOps. For many it’s just sysadmins rebadged. For others they think they sysadmins couldn’t code so it’s an evolution. For yet more they think it’s feature developers who manage ops.

Nobody has a formal definition that fits, the term only exists to obfuscate responsibility.

Ethereum is and has always been the toy of Vitalik Buterin and his cronies. They control roughly 64% of all ETH. Everyone else is just share cropping suckers.

Is this called Proctoring? My son went to college and because of COVID they had his math class online. In order to take a test he needed a web camera to watch him and he had to show the room he was in was empty and they assigned a person to proctor him during the test to make sure he wasn't cheating.

Now they are doing this with remote workers but using AI instead of people?

Agreed. The article feels a bit like it's salty about a very complex software project behaving like a very complex software project.

My understanding of the changing of the rules "as you go" is that it's based on the reality being faced by the system. Bitcoin's proof-of-work is simultaneously one of it's strengths and one of its weaknesses, and Ethereum has chosen to move from PoW to PoS because of the belief that it's the right path to follow in attempting to solve the problems the system is facing in reality.

I don't think the "working class" vs. "ruling class" analogy is particularly fitting. However, to continue the analogy, the profitability of Ethereum mining (from what I've heard) would have allowed pretty much all of the early "working class" to have climbed the social ladder to "ruling class" if they held onto some percentage of their earnings (you know, like "savings" or "investments" in this real-world analogy). If the "working class" believed in the longevity of the project they've chosen to work for, wouldn't they see the investment opportunity? Otherwise they're just there for the immediate profit, and there's no long-term contract or agreement that's been broken. The system is evolving, like what happens in the real world.

> As a Bitcoiner...

Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Satoshi Vision. Take off the rose-coloured glasses, "your community" isn't sunshine and roses either.

Personally, I think PoW may be what brings Bitcoin down in the long-term.
Great that you have all of the answers, do you have any sources to back up the need for thinning?
I don't get the angst around this. The happy feeling of getting exactly the same salary as earlier while spending much less wasn't exactly going to last. Companies have to pay lip-service to handling employees well and they managed to keep the salaries flat (at least most of them did). But the expectation that there is no going back to "normal" office life while continuing to get the full salary seems ridiculous and unsustainable. I am sure there are a few people who can demand and get whatever salary they ask for, but that's clearly not going to be true to the vast majority.
Bitcoin mining isn't something you can do on your own anymore. Unless you're accidentally located at a place with the cheapest electricity you'll have no chance.

Not to mention the ASICs, by the time end-users can acquire them they're usually outdated.
I wonder how much he'd hate his heroes if he tries something like that. Or maybe he'd decide it's not worth his time and money and stay stuck in his own bubble.

Those frictional costs (of moving) are the whole problem. SF salaries are where they are at because of those frictional costs (people choosing not to move to SF, whether by personal choice or by way of visa restrictions etc).

Yes, there is a subset of people that have disproportionate leverage no matter where they are at (by virtue of being really really good devs). But that represents only a minority of SF devs.
Yes, but combining a swamp cooler and a dehumidifier is most of the way there to a modern AC unit, both in concept and electricity need.

Most modern ACs in fact dehumidify and cool in one step with a compressor and then use the collected water to help carry heat away from the compressor by letting the water evaporate into the exhaust to save power (it's why you rarely have to empty water from modern dehumidifying ACs).

You might need something like salience ranking. And you don't need a heavy modern transformer model to do it. You can get by with yesterday's algorithms. This is LexRank. I think it's interesting because it uses graph-based centrality ranking, in a similar way that PageRank did.

Edit: Or create sentence embeddings, and cluster them or rank their distance against an input sentence, or something.

> C++ made the choice that linkers should be able to coalesce duplicates

Yeah and shared libraries are where it gets ugly. For example, libstdc++ has an empty string singleton `_S_empty_rep_storage`. Its headers compare a std::string's storage against this, by address, so the dynamic linker is on the hook to coalesce the empty string symbols. It doesn't always work, and then things break mysteriously when you have two copies of the same variable.

> There's nothing wrong with taking the address of an inline function, though. It behaves just like a normal function.

I think you're proposing that inline functions should have a single definition? This breaks header-only libraries, and also gets sticky with shared libs; whose symbol wins?

If everything is one big static link then it's probably fine. If your compiler is deciding to emit code now, or link to future code, dependent on optimization level...it's painful!
Right... and who will be buying and using this money?

There's a little more to the argument:

> This time the working class has their pay reduced from 4 Eth to 3 Eth per block, a 25% pay cut. Miners now earn 40% less per block than at the time of the community’s constitution, which promised that code was law, and which the ruling class later said they would break only once, for what was an especially good reason. But the code is law promise has now been broken so many times people expect it to occur at regular intervals and even worry that “progress” is slowing down if there aren’t frequent enough hard forks (to break that promise yet again).
Nor can I.

Publications either fail to reference their source, or give secondary references, or give incorrect references.

For an example of the last, https://ccp.org.au/content/2-exhibitions/1-all/0-fertile-gro... cites "Kissinger, H., National Security Council. (1974). The Kissinger Report: NSSM-200 Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security Interests", but I could not find that quote in https://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PCAAB500.pdf .

I looked at that one because Google Scholar says that "Fertile Ground" document I linked to is from 1992. Internal evidence shows it's no older than 2019.

The oldest actual mention in Google Scholar is from 2006 at http://www.libertydollar.org/news-stories/pdfs/1161050727.pd... , without attribution. Note that https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/global-research/ refers to the organization as 'a Canadian conspiracy website'.

In 2007 there are a few more citations, like http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.532... . That in turn cites WikiQuote. WikiQuote currently has that quote in the Talk page under "None of these quotes should be reinstated in the article unless a source is found."

I looked at the next few years of publications which use that quote. None give a primary reference or even provide a citation.

This pattern strongly suggests that Kissinger did not say it. Clearly it must have been Lincoln or Churchill. /s
Short answer is no.

There is no good way to measure the value generated by an individual engineer in most cases (in large enough companies), only the total/average value produced by a group of engineers - and even then, it's a first order approximation. Hence, the market is not efficient.
From what I've read and heard of Vitalik Buterin, he seems most unlikely to have "cronies". The reason Charles Hoskinson left the Ethereum Foundation is that Vitalik wanted it to be non-profit, whilst Charles wanted it to be commercial / for-profit.

Most of what I've heard of Vitalik paints him as having a saint-like aura (my own admittedly hyperbolic description). But then maybe we'd all appear that way if we had $billion resources at hand...
This week with EIP-1559, ETH has been deflationary several times now... more fees have been burnt than emitted within a block. It is quite fascinating to watch.

significant share, by mass, of the parts of such cheap simple rovers would probably be 3D printable - say using something like sand, clay or regolith laser sintering - right there on Mars. Basically one of the most important things to be solved on Mars would be to substitute as much as possible with locally produced components (kind of like Russia after international sanctions in 2014 :) That in particular means that the original designs should be very robust and simple in order to be amenable to such a local production. Kind of like do we want to bring rubber wheels all the way from Earth or may be we can locally produce something which would most probably be worse than rubber and thus the original design should account for increased vibration and roughness of the resulting ride.
What you'd end up doing is copying and pasting a lot of code. You'd need to define one kind of proxy object for one type in the third-party library, and another kind for another type, and so on. Each would need to implement all the methods, with correct type signatures.

Perhaps you could parse the source code to the third-party library and generate matching proxy objects from that.

No number of compiler tricks would allow you to define a single object that can be a proxy for anything using a statically-typed language.
The fun I mean isn’t only about entertaining me to death, there are plenty of thought provoking creators too. History, cosmology, math, philosophy - TikTok has it all.
I imagine for some reason their encryption or some other processing step is not performed by their hardware (you can get NICs with crypto offload) or they've found it cheaper or more flexible to go with doing it on the CPU.

But for other, this is what is done. Which is probably why their use case here isn't optimized all that well. There have been ongoing efforts on and off to make DMA directly to/from CPU cache work well. And it can be made to work with some hardware, but I don't know if it's performed to potential.

In theory his workload requires no DRAM accesses for the data if the working set could fit in cache. DMA from disk to dirty cache line, CPU loads from there encrypts, stores it in place or to new dirty line, NIC loads from that dirty data, and the dirty cache lines are invalidated or overwritten in a ring buffer with new data to avoid the mandatory writeback to DRAM.

Some of the new CXL protocols coming down the pipeline might improve this situation, but they also might not.

What is Etherium and why is it in demand?
Only as long as the stuff is still worth something. Carbon taxes and alternatives could make this a lot less profitable over time. The Russian economy is very sensitive to the price of oil and gas. If demand collapses, prices go down below the point where exploiting these resources is cost effective. The problem is that that is true for everybody else too.

That's why prices are high currently because the same is true in Texas where expensive fracking only makes sense as long as prices are very high because fracking is expensive. Which is why everybody else (including Russia that can produce cheaper) is pressured to limit supply. Occasionally, one country (Russia last year) decides to start dumping oil on the market and panic kicks in. It's the one geopolitical tool Russia has left and they wield it well.

That's why the baltic gas pipeline is a big deal as well. The Germans built that to not get pressured into buying expensive US liquid gas while they (slowly) untangle their domestic infrastructure from natural gas. However, that's going to take decades but Russia's behavior is bringing a sense of urgency for getting that done.

The good news is that high prices make renewables much more attractive and high price volatility makes oil/gas investments a lot more risky and unpredictable. With prices swinging between too high and too low, Investors have been voting with their money for a while now and moving their wealth elsewhere. Russia can't help of being part of the solution here by basically acting against everybody else, they accelerate the demise of oil/gas, cause price instability, and cause their main customers to question the wisdom of their dependence on Russian resources. The last decades of this industry in demise are going to be ugly though.
