i don't know why parent was being downvoted.

this is exactly why i am building web applications instead of desktop apps if i expect to run the application on a remote machine.

a very good example is the deluge torrent client.

by concept it is a desktop gui application.

but it is designed in a client-server mode that allows the actual gui to run anywhere and access a backend through a thin protocol that provides a much better experience than remote X would. it has both a traditional gui interface and a well designed webinterface.

there is no reason we could not be designing more applications like this.
>the solution of most planners has been: make me emperor, I will allocate the resources...it is a huge political/social/everything problem

One thing that I've found absolutely fascinating is looking at the Soviet sphere when it comes to residential housing. A lot of housing got destroyed in WWII, and the soviets realized that the best way to house a lot of people in a hurry was to build apartment blocks. These blocks were designed to have everything one needed, shops, schools, etc, within reasonable walking distance. The commute to work was handled with public transport.

Now, I'm not saying everything was perfect, but I do find it interesting as an approach to residential design, mandating a mix of essential services within walking distance of housing is unheard of here in the US, and really only exists in cities that existed pre-car.
Anandtechs article covers this in a lot of detail. But yeah it is supposed that 400GBps is peak bandwidth for the entire SoC. That’s CPU incl pow power cores, GPU, NPU and whatever else firing on all cylinders, in an ideal access pattern.

If you knowingly participate in or act in furtherance of a crime, that's also a crime. No journalist has been convicted under the Espionage Act. The reason isn't because actual real journalists don't expose things that embarrass the US government. It's because they don't participate in the exfiltration of controlled documents or direct sources to gather specific information.

The case on Manning is not the only time [0] that Assange played spymaster while hiding behind claims of being a journalist.

> Okay I was going to take this seriously but, saying MLK wasn't 'at odds with society'???

I don't think you're reading it correctly. MLK's values and assumptions were indeed not at odds with society. He was highly religious (Christian) and his arguments with regard to civil rights were largely based on unity, compatibility, harmony rather than divisiveness, detachment, or malice a la Malcolm X.
> their intended system design was obviously flawed

No, the design was so complex that its flaws were well hidden, and therefore not intended.

Quoting C. A. R. Hoare:

“There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult.”
(Assuming this is you) the boundary between Gen X and Millennials is a bit fuzzy, somewhere around the early 1980s (since inherently generations are marketing terms, sociology mostly deals with gray area). The closest experientially-oriented limits I've seen are that Millennials are old enough to remember 9/11 (born before ~1997) but young enough that the Great Recession hit either before they entered the workforce or during their very early career (before being ~1985, very early career being 1980).
> This was definitely not the way the creators of the platform intended it to be used.

This question might be getting way too philosophical or abstract, but would the following statement be fair:

"If something is designed, its design is intentional."

That isn't to say, a thing that is designed can't have flaws, but, if it was created to process things in a predetermined series of events, isn't that how it's supposed to work? If someone is able to exploit the layout of that design - a flaw of logic, not of security - it seems weird to think that the act of someone using it would be considered unintended, you know? I feel like a lack of planning or thought by the designer doesn't necessarily put any responsibility on the user.

Again, might be more of a debate around the concept of design...it's just a weird thing to consider something like, "Yes, the platform was built to do that, but you weren't expected to use the platform to do that!"

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sure they do. They live in Minnesota, Wisconson, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Nebraka's weird second district, Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Maine's weird second district, Georgia, Ohio, Iowa, Texas, Montana, South Carolina, Alaska, or Missouri; give or take a few.

Do you use the same logic for the lottery? Because I'd reckon you have better odds of winning the powerball than the odds of massachusetts turning red.

But tech is not just laptops :)

Even if Apple has a competitive advantage regarding laptops, I don't see that making Apple a better investmen than Google or Microsoft as they have their areas too where they are best.
In the tests I had seen about the bandwidth question, the findings suggest that the CPU can only push the memory at a little over 200GBps but if you also have the GPU active it will use the additional bandwidth.

This is constant with the advantage of the M1 Max being the added GPU cores.
At full speed the fan is similar in volume, or perhaps a bit quieter. However, they don’t seem to ever reach full speed during intense workloads, unlike the Intels which do it quickly and stay there. I had to use a utility to force them to max out.
I am so glad my "party" days were pre smart phone, social media and private security cameras. The thought of growing up without the opportunity to make mistakes without them being recorded for eternity depresses me for the generations to come.
> Apart from that, they build phones, run datacenters, develop self driving cars, business software ...

But none of those have significant impact on their revenues. If ads business tanks for a reason or another (new legislation around privacy, or remake of 2020 Covid-related ad bust), then they tank as well.
Cloud revenue is probably one of their biggest non-ad revenue stream, but it's less than ~5% of total revenue.

And Waymo, DeepMind etc, are all moonshots, they currently make 0$, but that's also where the disruption potential could come from. So if you believe in them, that could be a good reason to invest.

> As for Azure, I think Googles cloud business is in the same order of magnitude.

Azure is ~4x bigger than GCP.
If your software licenses translate into cloud credits, then it's a no-brainer. Clever engineers like us will make it work with stone knives and bear skins if that's what they provide us.
"auditing" means paying someone to run various open source solidity and EVM analysis tools and copy-pasting the results into a doc.

Auditing really doesn't mean much. A lot of audited platforms get hacked. A lot of unaudited platforms get hacked. Nobody is ever accountable.

I work heavily with pandas and dask (when you want to use multiple cores), using parquet files for storage. We see a lot of benefits in selectively bringing in duckdb into the mix. For instance, the joins are extremely slow with both pandas and dask and require a lot of memory. That's a situation where using duckdb reduces the memory needs and speeds things up a lot.

And we may not want to upload the data into postgres or another database. We can just work with parquet files and run in-process queries.
I track your point, though I might add that in advanced mathematics, things can often be reasoned in multiple directions, or sometimes proved via multiple methods. Often things are demonstrated irrespective of changing parameters, or otherwise the parameters are well understood to define the problem.

This isn't true for many orgo chemicals, based on the OP. The scale of sensitivity to initial and intermediate (!) conditions is un-intuitively high.

You are incorrect. The system functioned as it was designed. This was an edge case that the designers didn't anticipate.

In fact, this is a great illustration of why formal verification is not nearly sufficient to guarantee a properly functioning trading system.
The main take-way is, the design of the system is not fluid enough to scale up or down based on the demand. Rather, it has too many bottlenecks for it to choke and eventually die.
Modern office buildings have flipped the private offices from the perimeter to the core precisely so that the open office has all the windows. You might not have any privacy or quiet but they do design for natural light now.
I think it'll ultimately be China who starts the greenvolution, but not in a grand way.

* it has started restructuring its economy to be more longterm oriented. Banning for-profit education, tightening mega corps, exploring ways to encourage child bearing.

* belt-and-road - as well as being a cashcow longterm, it also gives leverage to push your vision. And with that vision being free - china pays for it now - it'll be a much easier sell than trying to convince western world to give money to developing world as per paris climate accords (which by and large remain unimplemented).

Now certainly it'll take a while. US could do it now by imposing an import tax if the supply chain is dirty, but there's no heartfelt urgency.

And is there urgency really? I mean what do the timelines look like if nothing really changes?
I was skimming past the examples of other theories which turned out to be wrong, in order to get to the meat of the argument, but before I could detect any such meat the article had already ended.

Maybe instead these conscious experiences come from some kind of self-organization. The computation we associate with these sensations could be simply an invention of our own to explain the mechanism of sentience, not the primary cause of it.

What is meant with "some kind of self-organization", and, crucially, why couldn't it be considered a form of computation?
This couldn't make the case for a wealth tax any clearer. Leaving the question of which large-scale social projects should be undertaken and how they should be carried out up to the whims of billionaires clearly ain't it.

It's possible right now -- there are a handful of Apple Arcade games that run across iOS/iPadOS/tvOS/macOS and support controllers, touchscreens, and keyboard+mouse.

- The Last Campfire

- Cozy Grove

- Alba: A Wildlife Adventure

- FANTASIAN

- Mutazione

The games don't _have_ to ship via Apple Arcade to take advantage of the cross-platform tools, but most of the ones that have done the work have come out on AA.

This is not true.

The Abu Garib whistleblower was not punished, he was protected.

Some of the actions of Manning and Assage fell way outside the prospect of 'Whiste blowing'.

Assange is being put to trial because preliminary evidence indicates that he was active participant in helping Manning in his activities and not just an agent of the press.

(You'll notice that the 'New York Times' Editors are not going to trial for things that they published).

The trial will result in either his acquittal or not.

That's it.

The problem is that in many cases, the pro-office people, despite saying otherwise, probably do need everyone - or at least most, to be in the office with them for them to personally gain the benefits of the social office environment. The benefits of you WFO depends on your coworkers.

If you are a pro-WFO person on a team that offers flexibility to WFH or WFO, but nearly everyone but you is WFH, then what do you do?

In contrast if you are a pro-WFH person but the rest of your team is in the office, you probably don’t care as much because the benefits you gain from WFH aren’t dependent on your coworkers.
In NY a good number of people use Citibike even when owning their own bike, because there are a lot of factors like not needing to carry a lock, being able to mix biking and transit, etc. that make it more attractive for some trips. It also makes some trips reasonable, like ending up a mile or so from the nearest subway in another borough, that aren’t reasonable with either just a personal bike or just relying on transit.
> Saying the windows phone was half assed is being generous

IDK if I'd go that far. I used my Windows phone right up to the bitter end of it's ability to function.

The app ecosystem itself sucked, but the platform was IMO better from a sandboxing standpoint, and frankly every Windows Phone 8/10 device I had was better experience from a 'phone' standpoint. Things other than phone/email/music/navigation got bad quick. But I loved them as phones.

Athens Was Right to Sentence Socrates to Death
Rather than reading the bird app thread, the same author's technical breakdown of the 29-step attack is a way better read: https://mudit.blog/cream-hack-analysis/

> This was one of the most sophisticated and cleanly executed DeFi attacks. The summary of the attack is that the attacker borrowed $1.5b of Yearn’s yUSD vault shares against $2b worth of collateral. They then doubled the value of the shares atomically by donating yUSD to the yearn vault. This meant that their debt on Cream became $3b against a $2b collateral. They can now default and take home a sweet $1b profit. Cream only had $130m assets available for lending, so the attacker was limited to $130m profits.

> 25. Since yUSDVault is now worth double, Cream now thinks that the account A cryUSD is now worth $3b instead of the original $1.5b. Technically, this is true. The vault of yUSDVault shares really did double. There’s no price or oracle manipulation here and don’t let chainlink god tell you otherwise :).

> 26. The problem is that account B’s debt suddenly increased to $3b against collateral of just $2b. Account B can now default on the loan and “pocket the $1b profit”. All is not good anymore. In normal circumstances where price of assets changes slowly, the system would’ve liquidated the account B before its debt became more than the collateral. Liquidation isn’t possible here because the price jump happened atomically. Using a TWAP or other time delayed oracle wouldn’t have helped either because you still wouldn’t have been able to liquidate the user. To liquidate a user, you need to buy out their debt position using their collateral. Nobody would have sold $3b worth of yUSDVault to Cream for $2b of ETH. Delaying your oracle input doesn’t mean someone will magically accept your trade at delayed prices.
He claims he ditched the cash, but maybe he did not?
“Also I'll remind ppl that when they talk about bikes for transport it just wont work for America. Our population is way unhealthy, it isnt a great option.”

Theee is a feedback loop. More biking produces healthier people. You have to start somewhere.

I really don’t like when people categorically claim that things that work fine in other countries won’t work in the US. It makes no sense. I also hear people often talk about “human nature” when in reality it’s just US culture.

The US really needs to accept that they are not the leaders in many things anymore and that they don’t have the world’s best of everything . There are things to learn from other countries.
Neither emissions / capita or emissions / country account for the interleaving of production and trade. On an atomic level (pardon the pun) we measure carbon by footprint - compare buying a new car vs buying a used car with worse gas mileage, and almost always the used car is the greener option (due to the astronomical carbon footprint of producing and shipping all the components of a new car). I have yet to see a measure of country level carbon that captures this reality - neither C / country or C / capita account for the fact that the global supply chain is deeply interdependent and extraordinarily convoluted.

I almost feel as though the best solution would be Carbon / USD, or some other metric that captures the reality that it's neither countries or people creating carbon, but industry (the most relevant of which is currently multinational).

Wow, I had no idea that there were still states that wouldn't require them.
I am not a regular user, what I done is edit open source engine and hack them to call my TTS program/script. For html engines I do a request to localhost on a specific port where I have a script listening. For a C++ engine I modified I used the run process functions to call directly my program, I think first I put the text to be spoken in a text file.

One reason this is so hacky is that because this engines were not meant to do TTS I can get a lot of extra garbage or duplicates so I need to have the text first go through a game specific script to clean it up.

so could you have this implemented:

1 user will input a path to a script/program

2 from the game engine you call that script and send to it the text as an argument , there might be limitations so it might be better alternatives.

My TTS program implements a queue so it is fine if you just dump a lot of text into it, I have keyboard shortcuts to handle skipping/pausing.

The Renpy game engine (python) supports TTS but I edited the tts plugin and replaced their Linux default to my script since I get more features and flexibility.

P.S. I am tempted to try to also get the text from DirectX games, but I am not sure where to start, I am thinking I could intercept some DrawText function and replace it with my own but I am not sure what terms to Google for and if is something that can be done Or if there is a simple way to detect the code that does the dialog boxes in the games and intercept that function.
