Interesting, going off the Consumers Report site, if Telsa only made the Model 3, then they'd be 11th on the list and just one point behind Mini. It just seems every other model will break apart in a stiff wind.

i think namespaces are the wrong abstraction. it's a good solution given what exists (posix/linux), but way more hacky than something new with encapsulation of machine code by source being a first class design principle.
For me it's the efficiency. The 90's era Windows UI and applications ran productively on machines with 8MB of RAM. That's an enormous amount of value for what amounts half today's desktop CPU cache. The limited memory forced developers to conform to the OS provided API and resources (fonts, color pallets, image formats, etc.) and the result was small, fast, consistent applications.

Today this discipline survives in mobile devices. Meanwhile, our desktop operating systems are festooned with a multitude of widget toolkits and language runtimes yielding wildly diverse, inconsistent and often fragile behavior and require 3+ orders of magnitude more memory.

Aside from (usually) pretty nice font rendering, what has actually been achieved with all of this?

Oh, there are many reasons. This is what makes medicine interesting, I guess. Think of the Scott Alexander article from yesterday: Ivermectin works pretty well... because it rids you of parasites which may act when you have severe Covid and are put on immunosupressors.

For some reason the virus also plays havoc with your blood sugar, so having even slight diabetes is a huge risk.

I was talking with a Covid nurse a couple of weeks ago (female, small thing) and she said a big part of the reason she's changing jobs is... the size of the patients she has to move around. Obesity is another huge risk factor - whether through diabetes, independent, or both.

Or if that was really not possible, at least he could have arranged to co-advise your thesis with another professor. I'm happy that it turned out good for you in the end. Did your original advisor end up signing your thesis after all?
IPv6 implementors are inconsistent in what they support. Eg Android and it not supporting DHCPv6 [1].

Also NAT in IPv6 is not as widely supported as it is in IPv4 (and yes NAT can and is used for reasons other than security, such as policy based routing and routers with multiple disparate WANs like Fibre and Cellular).

Plus there will always be someone somewhere with a middlebox, be it IPv4 or IPv6.

Present title: Google Play permitting alternative billing systems for users in South Korea

The title is editorialised and reads like this is something Google is doing of their own volition, whereas they’re merely complying with (new) law.

I absolutely detest having to make phone calls, especially when a simple email (or web page click) will do the job.

My main hate is companies that make a big fuss about their availability on the web, right up to when you need to contact them, when suddenly they are absolutely uncontactable, unless you are prepared to hang in a phone queue for hours.

I don't see it as a comment on the energy source or even drivetrain.

From the article:

> The issue, Consumer Reports’ Fisher told CNBC, is that the company has the tendency to “add so much tech that is not necessary.” And while this makes for a product that varies wildly from year to year, it is part of the Tesla brand that enthusiasts adore.

From the linked Reuters article:

> Manufacturers "are using EVs as a technological test bed," Fisher said. "Those are the things that go wrong."

What a shill post. It's easy to spot because you're discounting all of ethereum's scaling innovation in order to allocate for Cardano (which was broken on arrival) and the VC interest polkadot. Polkadot is a great way to destroy web3 by handing it over to the VCs the own an overwhelming supply.

Everyone is walking on eggshells, trying not to offend the powers by saying these kinds of things are rare. They're not rare.

I understand the concern of centralization on the Solana chain, it is a very valid concern. However, I would like to remind you that Ethereum used to be similarly centralized (of course it has been PoW to date so far, however the hashing power early in the project was quite centralized).

Ethereum in 2016 had the famous attack where 12 million ETH were stolen, and a rather centralized foundation was able to perform a hard fork to undo the transaction and recover the funds. This of course led to the split of Ethereum and Ethereum Classic.

Nowadays, I believe that such a fork would be nearly impossible for Ethereum to pull off, due to the decentralization of the hash rate and the differences in the power the Ethereum Foundation has on the chain, due to the maturity of the chain. Whether or not that is a good thing that it could not roll back such a transaction is almost a philosophical question lol.

In my mind, Solana is in a somewhat similar state to how early ETH was in terms of centralized power and control of the chain. It would not surprise me that as time marches on, Solana naturally decentralizes. It's not guaranteed by any means of course, but that is what I am expecting.

And to be quite honest, for most applications, I would rather have a degree of centralization than pay > $100 for gas fees. I am aware of the existence of Layer 2 solutions, but I'm not too sure that by making a somewhat complicated layering solution to solve scalability concerns on the network that it can achieve mass long-term adoption.

We'll see of course, just wanted to share my opinion on this.
Things in IPv6 land can have multiple IP addresses - you can have a fixed address or use a fixed link-local address for an entry DNS if you're not using something like multicast DNS, but it can still initiate connections using a privacy extension address.
Yeah, but this scale of documentation production is unprecedented.

A lot of cash was dumped into fast and extensive R&D, trials and production scaling because of the urgency of the situation, and along comes an insane documentation backlog.

To put in perspective, the original HPV vaccine R&D and trial spanned over 7 years with 25,000 patients (of which only 20,000 women), and assuming the documentation was provided to the FDA as it was produced, it could be FOIA'd relatively quickly.

Pfizer/BioNTech did the same, with almost double the patients, in just over 6 months.

It's just a knee-jerk rationalization of conservative portion of our brains, fundamentally based on distrust in other people.

I have my own story: These days many trans people are coming out, and sex change operation is becoming more socially acceptable. I was, for a moment, worried that trans people might be deciding on a whim/fashion to permanently alter themselves. But then I realized I miscounted - the number of people with gender dysphoria will always be greater than number of people unhappy with the change. So I changed my mind on this - it's always worth to change if someone really desires to.

Ultimately, the idea that "other people will do it wrong" is a very anti-democratic sentiment.

You are very short sighted. Yes, due to current laws and customs, they had to form an LLC as a workaround. But the laws will continue to adapt over time to support DAOs that don't need such workaround.

From the great Daily Gwei newsletter: "To do this sort of capital formation in the traditional finance world, you’d have to use centralized payment processors (who would most likely censor you), it’d be extremely slow, the money raised would be much less and the raise itself would be very exclusionary. You also couldn’t create a DAO out of it and have it be governed by token holders - the traditional system is just not set up to do this in any practical way.
...
In saying all of this, it’s not just the rapid capital formation aspect of DAOs that fascinate me - it’s also the rapid social coordination that can form around a common goal. It has a flywheel effect to it too: more capital raised > more social credibility/marketing the DAO obtains > more capital comes in because of that and so on and so forth. This is why ConstitutionDAO has gone from $0 to over $40 million in less than a week - this is really the true power of a global, decentralized and censorship-resistant internet-native economy - built on Ethereum and powered by humans."

If you don't agree or see that this is qualitatively different from "any other fund raiser", I don't know what else to say. What other examples do you have of spinning up $40M in short order for something like this? It's a qualitative difference in speed, scale, decentralization, etc., that will continue to grow. This is just the start.

People are actually very familiar with cardinal systems. You have your 5 star ratings (score) for restaurants, apps, etc. You have your thumbs up/down on Netflix. "On a scale from 1 to 10 how do you feel about x" etc. I always see people say that cardinal systems are hard to explain but the fact is that we use systems similar to them on almost a daily basis. (At least the front end is the same)
Maybe I just pronounce it weird, but I tend to pronounce "iron" the same way as the phrase "I earn", just with less space between them. Obviously the "r" is closer to the "n" in my pronunciation, but it feels like a stretch to say that it's the "r" with the weird pronunciation. If anything, the vowels are what seem weird to me; the "i" is long, which does not seem obvious it would be the case from the spelling alone, and the "o" is just completely silent, which is the only case of that in English I can think of off the top of my head (although I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few others).
Joker Calculus
You’re conflating a number of issues. We are strictly talking about technical specifications. Not about who owns what nor even arguing that everything should be centralised. In fact it is technically possible to create a better alternative to SMTP while still satisfying all of the non-technical requirements you’ve outlined too. You could even drop feed that new protocol into existence the same way we’ve seen IPv6 creep in parallel to IPv4, albeit it would probably take 20 years to do so.

And this isn’t even touching on the problems with IMAP and the insanity that POP3 is even still a thing.
> That's not accurate unless I'm missing something... sticking with just the surgical mask arm -- the effect size of 0.08% was based on a binary mask vs. non-mask intervention.

The RCT was a binary test of each kind of mask. Any other outcome is imaginary. There's no mathematical adjustment that can tell you what would have happened in the hypothetical alternative universe where everyone wore a surgical mask. That's just storytelling with numbers.

> But that was sufficient for a 10% reduction in seropositive cases.

No. It was a an 11% relative reduction, on a 0.76% seropositivity rate. The actual effect size was about 0.09% (I wrote 0.08% earlier, because I just divided the two numbers, and didn't use the figures from the paper). When you compare the cost of an intervention to the benefits, you use the absolute effect size, because you don't pay relative costs for your interventions (e.g. is it worth forcing every toddler in the world to wear a mask while sleeping for a "huge" 66% relative risk reduction from 0.0000003% to 0.0000001%? Probably not unless you're a crazy person. The costs vastly outweigh the benefits, even though the "relative" benefit is strong.)

> Our estimates suggest that mask-wearing increased by 28.8 percentage points, corresponding to an estimated 51,347 additional adults wearing masks in intervention villages, and this effect was persistent even after active mask promotion was discontinued. The intervention led to a 9.3% reduction in symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence (which corresponds to a 103 fewer symptomatic seropositives) and an 11.9% reduction in the prevalence of COVID-like symptoms, corresponding to 1,587 fewer people reporting these symptoms.

This is garbage. They're combining the two mask arms and claiming a combined effect size, even though the cloth mask arm was shown to have no effect. You can't do that. They're spinning like crazy to hide a weak outcome. They also don't report the raw numbers for the arms, and they don't dwell too much on the fact that "distancing" increased in the mask villages over the controls. That could easily swamp the measured effects. But I digress.

The surgical mask villages had 106,201 people, and an 11.2% relative reduction in seroprevalence, from 0.76% to 0.67%. The cloth mask villages saw essentially no difference at all: 0.76% vs 0.74%

There's simply no way to look at this data as anything than incredibly weak evidence for masks. I honestly can't believe we're fighting about something that makes, at best, a tiny fraction of a percent difference in outcome. Mass hysteria.

"Also your point is trivially not true for other engines because they use books from human-played games."

Books are only used in openings, and in (some) endings, in the form endgame tables. Throughout the middle game - where most fireworks happen - an engine is on its own.

And yes, engine's choices are often incomprehensible even for an elite human player (although it isn't literally every second move).

There was this Polish player, Patrycja Waszczuk, accused of cheating (she got banned for 2 years but she appealed, there's an ongoing legal battle).

The case got quite a bit of attention, and parts of her suspicious games ended up analyzed by Nakamura (a world class player, for those unfamiliar with the field).

There've been several moves which left him dumbfounded, as in "no human would even consider that in this position". I don't have a link, but it can be found on YT.

Did the new keyboard allow for a flatter design to allow for more battery life?

All it did was to increase Apple's repair cost because they had to support repairing these keyboards for many years.

Then why go backwards with a bad keyboard, removing the Escape Key etc. Apple is not a scrappy startup where they don't have a team to test and give feedback.
CACert had detailed documentation on their ceremonies. They were radically transparent about the procedures around their roots. I was sad when Mozilla pushed them out of the Root Programme.

I'm not blaming Moz, CACert were breaking new ground in trying to build a transparent process for a member-run CA. I believe they failed to find a suitable auditor that didn't cost a mint, and could work within the CACert transparency constraints.

Then LetsEncrypt came along... and ate their breakfast.
