"WinUI 3 works with any app supported by the Windows App SDK. WinUI 3 can be used DIRECTLY as the UI layer for desktop apps, or starting next year, it can be used to modernize a Win32 app's UI gradually, using XAML Islands to mix and match with the following technologies:

WPF
WinForms
MFC
ComCtl32"

Oh and look here: http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/flow/item/24274_WindowsUWPde...

And finally from the last link: "You can use WinUI 3 as the entire UI layer for your desktop app, replacing your current main UI framework."

You are probably thinking of XAML which is common to all.

> write in a white cell should automaticly create new node.

And I also agree here to an extent, I just haven't found the right UX. Since the user can't control the layout (its done automatically) it can be confusing to write a new node in an empty cell but then have the layout algo immediately move that cell (based on its connections).

> nobody should be claiming anything until they do something at least semi-rigorous (n>10, control group, actual sampling of Uber prices and then statistical analysis)

Couldn't agree more - right now all we have is very weak and inconclusive evidence. If someone is able to confirm this allegation, it would make for a big story and potential lawsuit, especially since Uber has been publicly and categorically denying the claim for at least 5 years.
Child sexual exploitation is pretty much the worst thing you can do as far as society is concerned. Such people are considered low in prison.

So I think the possible brand damage alone could have caused a panic, simply because this particular type of damage could be absolutely horrendous.
I have similar thoughts regarding the mirror universe but wasn’t sure how to express them, so thank you :)
This might be a bad example, since crocs and crocodiles are different words. But in some regions, 'croc' is used much more often than 'crocodile' in the same way that Americans say 'sitcom' much more often than 'situational comedy'. Even though it's an abbreviation, it's eclipsed the full word in frequency.

But I think the author's general point isn't about the information being unavailable (even if croc was the whole word, you can just write 'croc animal') but about the internet being engineered as a distraction machine. He didn't set out to look for shoes--but once they were presented, suddenly he found himself shoe shopping despite having no internet in purchasing shoes.

Luckily, if you can get everyone to accept it you can often manage just fine without.

I'm lucky to be on a team that agreed that redux etc wasn't necessary somewhere before I arrived, and coming from other places that insisted on latest fads it has been blissful.

> 1. Photos (and other documents) are currently uploaded to iCloud un-encrypted

Incorrect. Photos and documents are encrypted both in transit and at rest. They are not E2EE, however - i.e. Apple has decryption keys.

> 2. These photos are already scanned for CSAM after upload

Apple does no scanning in iCloud. All of your data (except email) is stored encrypted and it cannot be scanned. Apple escrows the decryption keys, which are provided only to comply with legal requests for user data.

> 3. Because the photos are not encrypted, at any point, any government can file a court order to release those photos.

The second part is true, but the first is not.

> 4. The court order can require Apply to not notify the user, or the public in general.

This is simply the law. If there is no non-disclosure order, it's Apple's policy to notify.

While it's pretty tough to even measure intelligence, nutrition and general health have improved dramatically, so that's likely to have spill-over into cognitive improvements as well.
And this is right. In ideal world the choice of source control would not influence how you design your application.

Unfortunately, the world is not ideal. Some problems that are easily detected when you have multiple applications that have their own teams, apis, release schedules, and repositories stop being naturally easily detectable when every developer has access to every repository and can introduce changes in sync on both client as well as service side.

One company I worked for used monorepo. Developers would shortcut development process and would omit some practices by modifying both client and the server at the same time, in sync, not caring for backwards compatibility.

Then there was a huge outage because the two changes would require both client and the service to be deployed at the same time. But you know, in a distributed system no two things happen at exactly the same time, so there was a short moment where the services were mismatched and some broken data was saved. And a day later that broken data completely destroyed an important production batch with large loss for the company.

And while it is definitely fun, convenient and efficient to be able to do just that, it requires also a little bit of care so that the whole system does not deteriorate over time.
You can't use your examples of what hasn't been delivered yet without the things people said were impossible and have been delivered (reusable rockets, M3, etc.).

FWIW it's SolarCity, not SolarWinds. The SolarCity acquisition was also put to a shareholder vote. After the vote passed one had plenty of opportunity to sell their shares. Of course that would have been dumb given Tesla's and Musk's outstanding performance.
Running (in GP's case) or exercising in general has the added benefit of building (up to a point) more muscle. More muscle mass means higher basal metabolic rate. Higher BMR means you burn more calories all the time.

So yes, a 500 kcal deficit every day (without adding exercise) is comparable in the short term to the runner burning 700 kcal extra 5 days a week (but not adjusting their diet). But, especially if that muscle mass is sustained, the runner or person engaging in regular exercise is going to be better off in the long term with respect to keeping the weight off.
Pilcrow?
> You body has its own idea of your weight set-point, and tries to keep your body mass in that range.

There's not much scientific evidence for "set point weight" or "starvation mode" or other similar concepts. People regain weight after dieting most likely because they go back to their old eating habits rather than making a lasting diet changes. But it's more convenient to blame their body stubbornness than their own lack of discipline.
I searched Crocodiles on YouTube, lots of good quality results that I saw.
So your threat model is:

Extreme surveillance from your employer would unnerve you.

Your remediation is:

Firewall between work and personal.

Is that a reasonable restating?
The reason I think Apple went forward with it though is that, from their perspective, it's not like they are building a new tool for surveillance. It doesn't take many brain cells for a lawmaker to realize that they could mandate pre-screening of content.

From Apple's perspective... for authoritarian governments like China or India... they are already able to mandate it and are likely to. So they shouldn't be factored into the "CSAM Scanning could be abused!" argument because it was already happening and going to happen, whether the tool exists or not.

In which case, releasing the CSAM tool has only benefits for the abused and doesn't make a difference in preventing surveillance and privacy invasions because it was already going to occur. A cynical view but a possibility.

When you're selling "Full Self Driving" in 2016 for $5000, I think its reasonable for people to want results in 2021. Especially when there are people getting beheaded on the road running into trucks and emergency vehicles.
I think it's really cool to see a successful example of modernizing a VB.NET codebase so that it too can play with the cool kids. I never really understood the disdain for VB.NET in the developer community, since the language has all kinds of neat little tricks up its sleeve. Kudos for pushing the counter-narrative.

I believe blogging will have a Renaissance since it has all the benefits from "social networks" but excluding the ads, the unnecessary "likes", and focus on the fundamentals which are sharing and discussing, just like forums, but blogs will be about individuals mainly.

The Cover Art Archive[1] is a joint project between the Internet Archive and MusicBrainz, whose goal is to make cover art images available to everyone on the Internet in an organised and convenient way.

Yeah, maybe. Or maybe the vast majority of people in Iran, NK, Syria, etc. rarely have internet access and these embargoes are plain 'war-time' embargoes.These measures that affect the population effectively affect the government aswell, it's an _entire_ country embargo, not the population/gov one.

By the way i find it amusing that we're talking only about 'it/tech'. Every product/service that an outsider tries to sell to these countries is bound by these rules, not just virtual products.

While i understand OP's feelings,what I still don't understand is why he's surprised about this: it has not been happening since yesterday(more like 5+ years, but only recently all major tech companies implemented their compliance w/ them)

From the video, it looks like the team is trying to minimize the set of untested conditions through simulation and clips from the fleet.

I agree with you that those techniques won't eliminate errors, but I don't think that's the requirement for L5 - human drivers' errors cause lots of deaths today.
Perfect. I'm stealing this.
Are there any climatologists who have written about Gribbin's Ice Age idea? Not that I think he's necessarily wrong, but I am a little extra skeptical when an expert in an adjacent area of research is positioned as a contrarian to the mainstream of another field. For whatever reason (overconfidence? credentialism? inexperience?) this always seems to produce sketchy science.

One part strikes me as odd, as it come across as a new problem, while for me it seems the core problem since the epidemic started: “Hospitals have already been transferring patients to different hospitals, diverting new patients, and sending patients out of state to Georgia. And many hospitals are delaying surgeries, like knee and hip replacements and even cancer-related surgeries.“

In my country (the Netherlands) that unfortunately has been the norm since covid struck. The backlog in surgeries (all said the be of the non urgent category, meanwhile there are less cancer diagnosis than ever before...) is enormous by now, estimates are it'll take till the end of 2022 catch up, of course, that's assuming the backlog won't increase while medical personnel gets exhausted and new covid patients need ICU care as well. Since covid started it feels this effect has been underestimated by the public and is too uncomfortable for the government to discus too much
I think we are at a point where legislation will be needed and there should be a clear list of what kind of data will be collected by the device throughout this lifespan akin to nutrition facts for food. That list should not be possible to alter at all (because otherwise they would lock the app lest you approve the new requirements).

Something like:

This device will share:

- Age

- Gender

- Voice commands

- Wifi name

- Location

If a manufacturer wants more data they have to change the tag at the store and only the newer device will have the additional data collection. If the manufacturer pushes an update to get more data on users that have the older tag they get a $X fine per affected user, where X is ideally a real cost-prohibiting amount like 25-50% of the price of the device.

Is there any reason why we can't have something like that?
Wilczek himself has been writing / speaking about ether. A couple things I could dig up on short notice:

I'm sure there's more, including in Wilczek's book.

They are already deploying the kinds of models talked about here in their FSD beta software (along with regular FSD/AP software) and they run just fine on current FSD hardware in the cars with acceptable latency. Just because you need a monstrous supercomputer to train these models doesn't mean you cannot run inference on them on much more light-weight devices. Some reasons being:

1. Training requires them to make use of ridiculous amount of data which requires large GPU compute + RAM and super high bandwidth to keep the GPUs fed at all times. Backpropagation requires a LOT of bookkeeping that adds on a lot of RAM requirement at train-time.

2. Inference is a lot easier. You just need to worry about keeping up with your 8 cameras and running them through your network. You also aren't calculating any gradients and dealing with needing to do any of the bookkeeping for backpropagation so you need a LOT less RAM

3. There are a ton of tricks you can do to make a trained network a lot more efficient for inference such as lower precision models (int8 or in their case, CFP8), network pruning, compiler tricks, etc.

It is quite impressive that they've managed to fit all this into their current V3 hardware. That being said, they are definitely starting to really hit the limits of V3 and in the long-run will likely need to upgrade the FSD hardware on newer cars. They are probably trying to avoid having to provide a retrofit for all cars in the fleet as that would be prohibitively expensive.
At age 57, it's easier for me to point to books, and I think there's three main inflection points for me. When I was about 15 I read Philip K. Dick's "Confessions of a Crap Artist", which really opened my eyes to how we each live in our own subjective version of reality. At age 17, I read Ram Dass's "Be Here Now", which exposed me to eastern spiritual traditions (I'm an atheist, but this was still very eye opening and, with Dick, made me realize that religions can be interesting and valuable while also being full of bullshit). Much later in life, learning about Robert Kegan's theories of adult development helped me understand people better and be a much better coach and manager (a good practical introduction is in Jennifer Garvey-Berger's "Changing on the Job"). And a book I really like for having a lot of condensed wisdom is Laurence Endersen's "Pebbles of Perception".
Other than shooting him an email there's nothing else you can really do. You don't fuck around with ITAR regulations. This isn't the the part of government that slaps meaningless cost of business fines. $1mil and 10 years prison per violation that pierces the corporate vale.
For Mastercard and Visa the money to be made is a rounding error on a rounding error, there are lots of other industries that don't have the same PR risks as adult content does.
Honestly I wouldn't be peeved over the event, I would just demand she pay for a new rug, plus any incidental costs.
Given PornHub removed a bunch of videos after that article came out, it seems reasonable to conclude that either the article was responsible, or the article made the idea popular enough. At this point, I’m not sure what the difference is, but I am sure that people denying the article played a role are the ones speculating here.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornhub

> In December 2020, following a New York Times article on such content, payment processors Mastercard and Visa cut their services to Pornhub. On 14 December 2020, Pornhub removed all videos by unverified users.[15] This reduced the content from 13 million to 4 million videos.[16]

I've used it in various cars (Ford Fusion, VW Tiguan, Audi Q5, Nissan Rogue) and it seems to have different issues with each car. On one the screen locks up, on another the volume doesn't work right, on a third the voice commands don't always work. I'm sure it's a nightmare for Google trying to make it work right with all the different automotive head units out there.
I would still suggest that "calories in, calories out" is still solid weight loss advice. There are two major confounding issues that might make it appear incorrect. The first is that out is variable, and the second is that some parts of the system are noisy. The solution to both is to try to measure accurately and frequently. The best things one can do to achieve this are daily weigh-ins at approximately the same time and trying to account for the bulk of one's caloric and macronutrient intake.
MFC was kind of a weird beast in general. In some ways it was just a C++ GUI API for Win32, but it did have distinct traits and behaviors that have MFC apps a subtle feel that many found unappealing.
Well if the writing intentionally leaves out salient facts to shape a very specific and potentially misleading narrative, we call that propaganda.
I think iPad Air is worth it for older people since it does not cost much more and the grandparents in my family appreciate the size of the screen, especially since they use it with enlarged text size.

Not exactly. Iraq is the oldest Shia country. Iran is the newest (15th century). Before then Iran was actually opposed to Shiism.
I think Apple was primarily caught off guard by how unwilling even technically sophisticated critics have been in any sort of substantive discussion on what they announced.

I know I have been surprised at how little specifics are present in the criticisms that have been published. As an example, if one is asserting that governments can force Apple to do a thing, it seems like one should be able to articulate how, exactly, that would happen.

If it’s pressure under the rule of law (U.S. law enforcement, for example) I would expect organizations who employ lawyers to articulate the laws and precedents that would enable law enforcement to compel Apple to do something they don’t want to do.

And if it is pressure happening outside the rule of law (authoritarians targeting dissidents), I would expect activists to be able to articulate what levers those regimes have to pull against Apple.

I have not even seen basic before/after comparisons explained. Like, if Apple could resist altering their OS for the FBI in the San Bernardino case (and get applauded for it), why could they not resist altering their OS for the FBI in the future (and get mocked for suggesting they could)? How, legally, is a demand to develop a targeted approach to image scanning configuration different from a demand to develop a targeted approach to device encryption configuration?

And if authoritarian regimes can force Apple to search client devices for offending material, why haven’t they already done so?

There is a ton of content that basically starts with engineering topics like “it’s easy to add entries to a hash list” or “it’s possible to find collisions” and just go from there. But engineering is not the issue. What the FBI asked Apple to do in 2016 was not difficult. And it’s not difficult to scan client files on client devices for signatures. It’s not difficult to make software phone home to a server. A simpler version of what Apple announced (scan client files for signatures) would have been trivial for Apple to develop at any time since the iPhone launched. If someone could force Apple to do it, why didn’t they?

There may be solid answers to these questions but that is not the conversation I’m seeing. What I’m seeing seems primarily to be an emotional conversation that builds on people’s ignorance of the current state of technology and the law to power activist engagement.

I think Apple was expecting to announce something technical and legal and deal with technical and legal objections. But what they did was introduce fodder and fuel for what is essentially a set of intersecting social movements around the issues of privacy, censorship, and corporate power. And like many broad social movements, the details are maybe not as important as collective emotion and alignment.

Maybe that’s what you mean by elite consensus. Personally I would not consider myself elite, but I do find the lack of specifics frustrating.

This was posted in another thread here, but it seems that activist investor Bill Ackman was the link in this case, and his personal interest (and general notoriety for extremely aggressive attacks on companies he believes are vulnerable) almost certainly played a part in him making this a five-alarm fire at Mastercard:

> Ackman, who has four daughters, was outraged when he read how one teenager ended up a Pornhub victim... An influential shareholder activist, Ackman immediately thought about the growing interest in ethical, or ESG, investing... He was friendly with Mastercard’s then-CEO Ajay Banga, whom he had met through a mutual friend. Ackman texted Banga, providing a link to Kristof’s story with his tweet: “Amex, VISA and MasterCard should immediately withhold payments or withdraw until this is fixed. PayPal has already done so.” ... Banga quickly wrote back: “We’re on it.”
