I've seen mostly ⟨bug⟩ in both Italian and Portuguese. Uncommonly ⟨erro de programação⟩ (PT) / ⟨errore di programmazione⟩ (IT).

I pronounce it ['bu.ge] in both languages, although the pronunciation might vary quite a bit in Portuguese; the last vowel can be [e ɪ i ə] or non-existent, depending on the dialect. It's just epenthetic, given neither language likes hard codas.
Are you from the US? This is clearly a distinct concept from my American perspective because it captures the cultural expectation of conversation and discussion.

America is a very isolated, lonely place. These fun, ephemeral conversations don’t happen much here.
This is great! It's a shame XCompose doesn't follow rfc1345 though, which is the input method I use on Emacs. I have to learn two different sets of composing sequences :(

Yeah I thought Tarkin was not convincing (though still really impressive, especially for the time). I totally forgot about Blade Runner - I agree that was really good - better than Star Wars.

What? I disagreed with the statement that there was no revolution until the iPhone 3G, because what I stated was done with the original iPhone.
It might be bad that it's a monopoly but that doesn't point to the value delivered by each search as negative.

IMO it's a failing of society not so much google that they don't have serious competition in this space.
Logically the next step is to scan for any copyrighted content and notify authorities that you're watching a movie without paying for it. After all, it's all about catching criminals, how could you possibly object.
You mean its corporate ghost (aka brand name) is still active in these things. Afaik they've divested everything apart from medical.
nVidia used deep fakes for this.
I thought it was only an iCloud scan, which is perhaps just as bad, but not a scan of anything that only exists on the iPhone itself.
That’s what Federighi says in this interview. It’s only scanning photos that are about to be uploaded to iCloud. Otherwise photos aren’t scanned. Disable iCloud and there’s no scanning.

Still, I think Apple misjudged the whole cloud vs. device thing in this case. They’ve historically preached a lot about how everything should happen on the users device, not the cloud. I think that got myopic for them, and led them to this decision.

But in this case I think users would be much happier if Apple had just said “under pressure from law enforcement we are now scanning photos when they arrive at the iCloud data centers. If you don’t want scanning don’t use iCloud.” Because it’s not so much the scanning of uploaded photos that has people upset, it’s the fact that the scanning and phoning home is baked into the device itself.

This is way snappier on iOS than I would have expected. Feels faster than most web apps.
If they were scanning images that were uploaded to icloud on Apple's servers, no one would care. iCloud is not encrypted and Apple provides governments access to iClod data, everyone knows that, and other cloud providers already scan content for CSAM material. The difference is that Apple is doing this scanning on your phone/computer. Right now, they say that only images that uploaded to iCloud will be scanned, but what's to stop them from scanning other files too? There's been a lot of pushback because this is essentially a back door into the device that governments can abuse.

I'm not so sure that is true anymore. FOSTA-SESTA makes them liable, I think?
In fact, let's go ahead and just look at the actual Conclusion section:

To conclude, here, we showed that mask use influences our ability to infer facial expressions at any age.

Yes, duh. We're not good at it anyway. (They claim that people are doing good when they get above 66% of judgments correct--still a D grade.)

Furthermore, we showed that the human capacity to read emotions from facial configurations when a face mask is present becomes particularly reduced in toddlers. We suggested that this is related to different age-related developmental stages of face processing associated with emotional reasoning.

Yeah, not surprising. But toddlers still get most of their social input from their families, so the most impacted group is also the group we need be least concerned about.

Such observation poses the question whether a privation of facial visual features, as the one we are experiencing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, might alter or delay the development of social skills associated with face perception in early childhood.

It poses the question. That's it. They have no evidence that there actually is any alteration to social skills, and no evidence that that would be a bad or disabling thing if there were.

Designing devices for personal protection that allows visibility of the lower part of the face may be crucial in all environments important for developing social and interaction skills in children, such as in education or rehabilitation, especially for those suffering from sensory or cognitive deficits.

Sure, that seems like a good idea. But it's not an excuse to not wear a mask if you can't get a transparent one.

Knowledge from the current study can inform emotion-centered interventions and prevention programs that aim to foster socio-emotional processes linked to emotional understanding (Izard et al., 2008).

Yes, it absolutely can.

So, that's what it actually says. It very clearly does not say that kids will be psychologically damaged by not being able to see the lower halves of other people's faces in public, and it does not make any attempt to account for social learning in the home.

I don't understand how correcting a factually incorrect statement and providing sources is considered against the guidelines. This response was immediately flagged as an example, and it does not break guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28171744

If the rule is not to reply so as to not start a flamewar, what you're allowing is whomever can lie and narrative shape the fastest wins as there's no room to reply. That's not a good precedent to set.

I agree some of my later posts did not confirm to the guidelines. Frustrated posting and I can no longer delete them.
That's why Microsoft won't do this. Steam users have a big investment in games on Steam, and are quite likely to switch to SteamOS, even if not every game works perfectly, rather than buying all those games again. And that would create a big Linux customer base that game studios and hardware makers would develop for, threatening Microsoft's monopoly on the desktop.
Based on my own experience, I would slightly adjust what you say. The wealthy neighborhoods did have more repeat non-tippers than they should, but they also had some of the best tippers. There were also a fair number of non-tippers in the crappiest poor neighborhoods, but I was fine with that.

On the other hand, the "gig economy" has really screwed up pizza delivery since the shops started laying off their own drivers. There is no control over quality, and tips don't really count for anything anymore. The dude who showed up an hour late with a cold pizza got no tip, but so what? He'll never be back, and doesn't answer to the manager of the restaurant. Good tip for a good, prompt delivery, sure. But that won't earn better service, because we'll never see that driver again, either.
Is this US specific? (asking from the UK)
> Which is a ridiculous assertion, since I clearly remember running gdb targetting a Handspring/Palm way before the ARM transition, late 90s or the like.

From the description it sounds as if gdb was running off-target (same as it would for debugging Palm), except perhaps it connected via gdbremote-over-TCP instead of a 68k debug stub via RS232 or similar. And in this case, the phone's TCP stack is running over the phone's radio.

> basically a mobile desktop GNU/Linux device

From the sound of it, this device likely could have matched these claims.
This was a very interesting time in the development of mobile technology and as was mentioned you clearly could see the writing on the wall but the challenge was how to get to a useful mobile platform from all the crap that predated Android / Iphone. When I was at Orange I hacked on all sort of devices: Symbian / UIQ, N60, Windows mobile, etc. They all sucked in one way or the other - mostly due to crappy tooling and crappy devices. Or completely broken understanding of software ecosystems which doomed Symbian and others. We all knew that there was going to be an explosion of cool things and a better platform was critical.

There were some other companies doing interesting things - one was a startup called Savaje that had a complete java based phone environment up and running. However, they weren't a silicon valley company and didn't have Andy's connections (or reputation) from Danger.

Diogenes of Sinope. The more you read about him the stranger things get. Alexander the Great came to him and sought his guidance. Instead of being impressed and delighted by his request, Diogenes asked Alexander the Great to move to stop blocking his sunlight. Unfortunately, most of his primary sources have been lost besides "Lives of Eminent Philosophers." His stories offer great levity and fresh perspective.
I think right now it only scans pictures destined to be sent to iCloud. The problem is you won't hear from them once they start scanning everything. Besides, it's just not really provable, right? You still have to take their word for it.
But Apple had a two years leap in front of everyone else shipping a useable touch interface.

I remember the BlackBerry Storm, the first touch screen phone by RIM launching at the same time as the iPhone 3G. No Wifi, slow janky scrolling, no apps (well, sure, if you don't mind downloading some random .jar that have to be recompiled for the custom fork they ran on that device). Felt like a rushed beta.

Meanwhile the iPhone just worked. Smooth scrolling, fast browser especially on Wifi. You could get apps from the AppStore, no friction.
Android can do that today too.

not really, just falling into wikipedia & youtube rabbit hole, just found out that the biblical 'Cain & Abel' story could be an echo of earlier Sumerian myth of the Courtship of Inanna and Dumuzid, or even earlier one of the god Enlil "choosing the Farmer", and generally goes back to the pre-historic agriculture revolution which divided the settled farmer and the wandering hunter-gatherer

> 1. There's 0 precedent for taxes that are "only for the rich" being applied to everybody? Seriously? Start with the US income tax.

I guess that's somewhat true, yet the upper middle class only got stronger and stronger, which seems strange if they were all fleeing the jurisdiction because of high tax rates. It seems much stronger evidence that it's not a real threat that should concern the country - most high income Americans are reasonable and understand that we need to pay to maintain all this modern stuff we have, and hopefully improve upon it. It wouldn't seem to be a major concern if a small, selfish minority decided to pay the exit tax and go somewhere else.
Yep, all that is true and they are afraid of both. However I can’t see how they are going that broken thing together again…

Earlier, when they said about allowing people to stay on iOS 14, that was a real head-scratcher which now makes sense.
Pointers are a great example of accidental complexity. Outside of very specific domains, most people writing software never need pointers.

Introducing them to the end user who just wants a way to track project status is a great way to bar them from actively participating in developing their own solutions. Forcing them to be beholden to the IT department, rather than empowering them to accomplish their goals.
Just wait till you download that meme image, to upload to your reaction meme folder on icloud, that some troll has kept the background of some csam image and edited meme text over the bits that might have made you aware of its origins. will that match?

Not sure that makes sense given your presumed knowledge of the Chinese government's reaction to SARS?

Or are you in bad faith giving dubious priors?

"This lack of openness caused delays in efforts to control the epidemic, resulting in criticism of the People's Republic of China from the international community. China officially apologized for early slowness in dealing with the SARS epidemic."

I bought my first iPhone this year, and privacy was the reason.
At what point would you consider it "scanning the device"? What if they start scanning messages? Browsing history? Downloads? Where do you draw the line?
It also looks very like a building in the Amazon TV series "Homecoming".
There's no reason for this to be the only solution. This doesn't have to be the only revenue channel for Google, or even the only revenue channel for an app store, and even if it is the revenue channel for the app store, this doesn't have to be the method of making people use it.

> Would it be nice if Google could add a subrule that links are allowed if they're at the very bottom of the page? Well how do you even define that, what if the page is a single sentence and then payment options? Or a rule that "donations" are allowed? Well then you get "donations" that come with "bonus functionality" and so forth, and a new line has to be drawn.

You're leading yourself down a garden path here. To break even, an app store only needs to take in enough to cover its hosting and traffic costs. It doesn't have to take a cut of all transactions.
No need to trot out the China bogeyman, when "greenest president" Biden is issuing more drilling and fracking permits than Trump, and is pressuring OPEC to increase production, since golly gee gas is getting really expensive nowadays.
In fact, privacy is a concern that sometimes even puts employees off using their employer's Employee Assistance Program (EAP), even though that's often in the form of a crisis telephone number which you phone.

There are a number of apps in this space who sell to employers but there's no industry wide survey of utilization numbers for such apps, so it's difficult to judge to what degree this is an issue across the entire sector. We do what we can, offering completely anonymous sign up, no requirements to enter name, demographics etc., no location tracking etc. and it's certainly an important issue for users which we're cognizant of
It is illegal. It probably does sound insane if you believe that carrying weapons can improve safety and not simply escalate violence. To me it’s a pretty sound policy.
I guess a question would be is demand for sugar and sugary additives as inelastic as gasoline? People are going to fill up their cars no matter what it costs, but if a 32oz soda or bag of Skittles all of a sudden cost $10, maybe people switch to alternatives?
The guys described in the article weren't exactly rocket scientists. And the cops only intervened because the tag's alarm was going off right in front of them while the writer showed them the device info on their screen. It's easy to imagine that, if the thief--who may not even be the store owner--had immediately destroyed the tag, the cops would never have intervened and the guy would never have found their scooter.
"Expert consensus". From institutions that demand ideological conformity.

"Scholars have maintained that public attitudes often diverge from expert consensus due to ideology-driven motivated reasoning."

Or maybe it's the "scholars" ideology-driven motivated reasoning that's the problem?

My personal threshold? I could do this forever. I don't think that's likely though, because a whole lot of other people have a much lower threshold. It might be a good idea during flu season, though, and I think we'll see some people adopt that as a new habit.

It simply means that they can have whatever the hell kind of method they use to identify specific images, and the scary part is: there IS an error-margin built-in because otherwise, as you said, this tech would be pretty useless.

"Find all images and tag them if they look like this fingerprint" doesn't mean that. It means: "Find all images and tag them if they look 80% like this fingerprint".

Which also means that it will allow governments to upload photographs of people's faces and say: "Tag anyone who looks like this".

Worse, this will allow China to track down more Uyghurs, find people based on guides in the form of images that are spread around to stay safe from the Chinese government, and countries like Saudi Arabia can start looking for phones with a significant amount of atheist-related images, tracking down atheists, and killing them. Because that's what that country does.
From my perspective, the bigger problem by far is that everyone to the right of our skewed American political center (this includes some Democrats, particularly those I named) do not believe that it is critical to take any action at all on climate change. The more people agree "yes, we need to solve problem X", the more likely it is that we (collectively) can get something passed to start moving toward change, even if we don't entirely agree on the severity of the problem or the precise methods needed to combat it.

Or, to put it another way: If the Republicans weren't being obstructionist, the Democrats wouldn't need a strategy to overcome them. They'd be able to put their energy toward coming up with actual policy solutions.

Finally, it is my understanding (though I don't have the link handy right now) that the Biden campaign put out a fairly clear set of legislative goals to push for in order to combat climate change. So while it's certainly true that "Democrats", broadly, don't all agree on what to do, a) that's essentially a tautology (not just of Democrats, though they tend to be less likely to fall in line with a centralized message and agenda than Republicans), and b) that's not at all the same thing as saying "Congressional Democrats and the White House have advanced no clear legislative goals toward combating climate change."

I only consider positive semi-definite symmetric matrices. A = D * R is almost certainly not such a matrix. The positive semi-definite symmetric case is the only one needed to compute SVDs.

A proof of convergence for the algorithm is only known for certain families of matrices. These include the positive-definite symmetric matrices, all symmetric matrices (once suitable improvements to the algorithm are made), the Hermitian matrices, and perhaps some others. But a proof that's valid for all matrices isn't known, even though the algorithm (when improved using Wilkinson shifts) appears to converge everywhere.
AndyO: Forging the Consciousness of Our Birth
Right, but the purpose of the narrative is not to compare whether we are doing the same thing. It is to blame China for the pandemic. TBH, if we did the same thing, I expect the rest of the world would blame us.

That said, it seems pretty unproductive at this point to blame anyone, but it does seem productive to avoid it happening again.
Isn't this something that can be done in AutoHotkey?

I feel that it is more effective to have a powerful tool such as AHK and invest a bit into writing the combinations of key/mouse/whatever than to have several standalone programs.
Won't relying on direct experience as a basis for critical thinking lead to all kinds of problems due to faulty perception and cognitive biases that we all share? Additionally, how are we to evaluate situations were are not likely to have any experience with? None of us have any experience with, say, the big bang or anything close to what the universe was like then, but can't we still come to many likely conclusions about it without any even indirect experience?

So doesn't critical thinking in fact have to have a baseline in something other than one's own direct experience? Rationality, possibly?
