Taking this one step further, you could build an immensely powerful bomb/superweapon/mega space engine. Cover the inside of the Dyson spheres with mirrors then fire a laser inside. The black hole provides the perfect source to ramp up the energy before you could unleash it in a (un)directed way.

I don't know about Japan, but as far as I know the fox tradition in China has no element of leading people anywhere. Foxes, like anything else, may practice various magical arts notably including shapeshifting. (They are much more common as the subject of stories than other things are, but not very different in kind.) They may pursue any number of idiosyncratic goals. A common theme is that they take the form of a human woman and have sex with a human man; this may either be benign behavior or something more nefarious such as a way to slowly drain the man's life force.

The sexual theme is so common that 狐狸精 "fox spirit" became a term of abuse for overly sexual women. Chinese people like to translate the term into English as "vixen".
Given that training the same network (with the same structure) will result in different weights and different hashes with high probability, I would argue that the weights actually have all the important properties of a secret key.
You would just need to treat them as one operationally, i.e., make sure as few people as possible have access, and use truly random instead of pseudorandom numbers during training.

Hawking radiation propulsion has the perfect specific impulse: exhaust velocity is the speed of light. Black hole hawking radiation also is perfectly efficient: 100% of the mass is converted into energy. D-T fusion only converts 0.4% of the mass to energy.

Pages can share whatever they want. I can create 5000 pages tomorrow to only share Colbert. That's something that Facebook has less control over than what gets seen, and is less relevant at that.

>The thing Facebook's algorithms control is which widely-shared and widely-interacted content

This disproves your point though. According to facebooktop10 most of what is shared is 'right-wing content' yet most of what people actually see isn't. So really, it does kind of look like they might 'discriminate' against right-wing content if they show it less despite being so widely shared.
Interesting. I would reach for `grep` and `diff` in those cases, so it's not much of a leap to imagine similarly using a tool for a binary format. After all, I only need the textual representation of the thing I'm searching for, not the entire dataset.
That's arguably not wgpu's responsibility. It's usually the OS's. Windows will reset the GPU if it doesn't return. Chrome tries to catch it before the OS IIRC.

In any case, other than resetting the GPU there is no way to stop DOS via shaders. I can easily write a 3 line shader that has a legit use at 1x1 pixels but will DOS your machine at 2000x2000 pixels. It's basically the halting problem. The only known solutions are (a) reset the GPU or (b) design preemptable GPUs
Value in the resume cuts both ways. If somebody comes to me for an interview having a spectacular company in the list, I'd certainly be interested. But they better have some good story to tell because if it's just "oh I built an ACID webservice for internal tool for organizing meetings about when the kitchen snack supply should be replenished" I wouldn't be overly impressed and they'd better have some other skills to impress. It certainly creates some interest, but it can also create disappointment.

There are other benefits.

The internal surface area of a sphere with radius 1AU has so much area that its unlikely any spacefaring civilization would ever spread to that many planets. It would be enough to have billions of versions of your civilization/species with room to spare, AND have them all be able to communicate without light years of transmission delays, never mind time and cost of travel, and thus drift apart. Then, one has the opportunity to otherwise live in very similar circumstances as the planet one evolved on. Looking at our attraction to nature I would guess any species would think of this as a benefit, and would prefer it over terraforming faraway hostile environments or inhabiting cramped space cabins.

So yes, if you have the ability to make a Dyson sphere, I can very well imagine that you would.
Thanks for reminding me about D - I've always heard about it but never checked it out. Will try it out to see how it feels.
> This has to be something Apple was asked/pressured/ordered to do. As a business activity it makes no sense.

I firmly believe we'll never discover who applied that pressure, or how. And it's hard for me to imagine the US government doing that without some court battle with serious risk of leaks to journalists. I mean, it makes no financial sense, so Apple would fight that. The only thing I can imagine is pressure from a private interest whose market is big enough for Apple to care. And if it is that market, then I think we're in for a tough ride until we can build our own devices.
The "not much hanging out, just focus time" is precisely the part I think is dystopian and personifies a sad future. The whole idea could be an episode of Blackmirror tbh.

I'm not arguing against some finding it useful, I'm sure some (like yourself) do, I don't know how sustainable that is though, or what it means about our society as we move forward, but in my opinion it's ominous.

The slippery slope is only a fallacy if there is no reasoning presented between steps though.

"We should track who is gang affiliated" -> "We should track who has done terroristic acts" -> "We should track who is affiliated with terrorists" -> "We should track who may be affiliated with them"

All seem to be reasonable steps, which IMO makes it not a case of the slope being a fallacy.

Time for the daily/weekly/monthly note taking and productivity thread!

On a serious note, I actually like these threads. Earlier in the year I decided to look into better note taking and task management, and it became an entire month of me gradually becoming more and more stressed about it. HN was actually a great source for this, mostly because a lot of the people on here seem a bit less "into it" than dedicated sources, and help bring me back down to earth.

In the end, my solution was simple. Stop trying. Of course, because I get a bit obsessive over this kind of thing (who could have guessed that a man who spent an entire month thinking about note taking can be obsessive), I couldn't just stop. So instead, I set myself a reminder to come back to it in a month, knowing full well that by then I'll be obsessed with the next thing and will keep putting it off.

I write this in case anyone else is going through the same dilemma. Just take a break, get a notebook where you can jot down ideas for how you will jot down ideas, set a reminder, and move on with your life. Unless your enjoy this sort of thing, in which case, have fun :)

It all depends on connection and encode/decode speed. I have been working atop Windows Virtual Desktop (RDP based) for the past two years and it works beautifully on a 3-monitor setup (5K iMac plus dual 4K external monitors).

I do have a fiber connection, but the entire setup is good enough to have Teams calls over redirected devices (video is laggy, but voice works OK).
That sounds too corrupt to be believed. If someone came out with evidence of that it would completely blow such a deal.

Based on the letter by NCMEC describing opponents to the technology as “screeching voices of the minority”, I suspect this is some kind of variant of being guilted into doing something by either lobbying, marketing or internal proponents. This resulted in a tone deaf death march and now they’re trying to work out how to spin it.

This is a fairly typical corporate failure mode.

Sometimes the best thing is to do nothing as they have found out because now they’re stuck in a position where the two exits are either piss off everyone by writing off their privacy stance or piss off everyone else for canning child porn scanning.

What a complete fuck up.
I'm not a fan of the bbc, but this is a pretty weird interpretation. This is clearly a campaign to discredit the BBC as a news source both internally in and externally to China, by latching onto some bad editing. BBC is a known and generally trusted source, the aim here is to make people question any negative news on China, e.g. the ongoing Uyghur genocide or the takeover of HK.
probably because if scientists could do rigorous analysis of the kind of content that's shared and what effect it has on public discourse the results wouldn't look great. I think it's that straightforward. Same reason cigarette companies were not big fans of independent research.

There might not be a law, but in practice, letting criminals host illegal data on your servers is unlikely to be a good look.

The intent of the laws making the possession CSAM illegal are ultimately to stop the spread of CSAM. If those laws fail in their stated purpose just because a company chooses not to be proactive in how it searches for the material, that would be missing the point. The media and governmental pressure would wipe any company foolish enough not to implement child safety measures out of existence, but no major tech company is that foolish (except Kik perhaps). And hypothetically, the government could just pass a law enforcing proactive scanning if there were to exist a company that chose not to proactively scan, which would mean that the government would fail to solve the issue of preventing the spread of CSAM, and thus CSA.

But in practice, such a law isn't needed. No company wants to be derided as a service that allows child abusers to get away with their crimes.

The IBM 5150 Personal Computer isn't the same beast that we refer to as "PC compatible".

It was a barely-16-bit computer, no protected mode, funky connectors for the keyboard (no mouse, of course), the interrupt vectors were wired up wrong... the joystick ports... no real-time clock, system configured with DIP switches instead of BIOS, floppy drives were you could buy it without floppy disks, boot directly from ROM into Microsoft BASIC and just use the cassette recorder as mass storage, the power supply was underpowered, the expansion cards were only 8-bit (in part because the 8088 CPU I/O was only 8-bit)...

IBM got from a design to actual product in the retail channel in some ludicrously short period of time, like nine months for this baby computer.

The "PC" converged onto a set of standards. But if you manage to bring home an original IBM PC, you might be surprised at some of the work you will need to get it up and running.

Ah, the good old days when software and hardware came with a reference card.

http://danbricklin.com/history/saiproduct1.htm

They were typically folded with several panels, just the right size to sit in your shirt pocket next to the pen and pocket protector.

I still have a bunch of these cards I used to carry around in my job as an IBM mainframe engineer. So damn useful and concise.

I guess things change too fast these days for there to be a place for reference cards. And the days of fitting an entire CPU instruction set on a single card are sure in the past.
I think these questions were meant to have an obvious and answer but they don't. We have laws and courts to figure this out. Maybe you should be able to install MacOS on your Xbox and maybe Audi should be forced to change their design. VW certainly was forced to make changes after Dieselgate. Consumers have some rights that are largely not argued about these days, like honesty in the product listing. The people on the side of more rights for the consumer are always confused why so many people want fewer rights for, not only themselves, but their fellow citizens as well. It feels unreasonable: we're standing up for you to have these rights as well and you're complaining that you don't want them so no one should have them.

In a well functioning market it would be a different story but we really need to stop pretending that mobile OSes are a healthy market with lots of competition. There are 2 players worth mentioning and that kind of market needs additional safeguards
This is true. We have had feedback from Framos ( A big client of the Realsense) saying basically that)
Well, I’m a small sample size, but I actually prefer to RDP over to a development workstation and not have my own CPU clogged with builds.

Dismantling the State's oppression system goes further than having legal constructs expire. As long as there is parliaments, police, prisons and borders, the State will use those to oppress people, and no amount of using the oppressor's tools (legislation) can change that.

Yes. That’s the point. They are publishing this list, because the other list makes them look like a cesspool of forwards-from-racist-grandpa and MAGA-chums.

Both lists are probably correct. (It’s not like—completely hypothetical—view counts of videos which are sort-of like the the double-slit experiment for Facebook.)

Which one is more meaningful? It probably wasn’t entirely accidental that they started with measuring engagement, and everything they (and others) do is intended to raise engagement.

The pivot to view counts is motivated only by their increasing fear of nor just increasing regulation. They are simply bleeding users, especially the most lucrative groups that are young, educated, and international, who are leaving the country club of social networks because they see these lists-even though their own feeds have maybe slowed down but not changed much otherwise.

A few simple timings tell me this isn't actually fast in Python for finding an item in a list, compared to a bounded loop, (and, since I was curious, neither is a sentinel approach where you insert the expected item at the end of the given list), I guess CPython just heavily optimizes range-for loops, and maybe this was true in an old version of it.
