Bad response times plague the mobile space too. Just look at the new MBP with its 120hz display that has >40ms latency. But Mac displays, though looking gorgeous, have always had latency that was heavily perceptible.

Is there even a mainstream desktop display that has anywhere near the latency of Macs?

There is misdirection for content-boosting. Twitter has put some features in place to make this more involved, such as asking you to read an article before retweeting it, or making the follower- and like-count inexact.

Basically they just search Twitter for conversations or views which are in line with their objective, then they boost it by retweeting and liking. Not many people see their retweets, but many more people now see the "organic" tweet, due to increased engagement numbers.

A secondary effect to this boosting is that Twitter users are social-reward trained to focus their Tweets more on the issue the attackers want to promote. Every time they post a controversial or flaming Tweet, they gain followers and likes. Every time they take a nuanced stance, they lose a noticeable amount of followers. After a while you have trained an organic propaganda source, with a legit following, parroting your propaganda.

Another is diversion building, which exposes a lot of people to strong emotions and polarization. You take a Tweet that many people saw and is controversial "The Oscar awards are racist" then you create the counter-narrative, lots of Tweets and comments with small number of likes and close to zero retweets, where you state that the Oscars are colorblind. Then sit back, and watch American culture and politics eat itself.

So it is more than just getting eyeballs to some pre-written Tweets. They enflame and convert.
I immediately thought of Scott Alexander's "Meditations on Moloch".

https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/

His conclusion is that the only thing that could ultimately defeat the god Moloch (basically a personification of the problems described in the OP) is if we install a different god Elua (basically the personification of a human-friendly machine intelligence) to do the job. And if that sounds like hubris, the notion that we could overcome these problems ourselves is an even bigger form of hubris.

I have such a hard time imagining what sick twisting legal crap allows Apple to dictate terms like this. Another example is Nvidia explicitly dis-allowing their consumer GPUs to be used in data-centers. It's wild to me that company's can just make up whatever terms of use they feel like & we have to accept that.

Edit: oh hello, i'm at -4! Anyone care to defend your outrage at my outrage? What makes this seem at all ok? This seems so fundamentally screwy to me. Questions like how Apple is allowed to ban other browsers[1] show related type of confusion over the vast ecosystem control that seems to be spreading, but there at least there's some cloudy App Store Apple clearly retains some rights of control over.

First-sale rights in America is fairly narrow in what they permit, but in America at least, there's very much been an idea that consumers become owners of the things they buy. It feels like a modern regression that there have been so many asterisks added to this straightforward & obvious right.

I think the common, simpler way is to make the component itself (<AuthenticatedNav>) state-aware. So it always returns that component, but the component itself renders differently (`isLoggedIn && <NavBarSubComponent>`) depending on some upstream state passed as a prop or a shared context via a context provider.

If you return two different tags like the author did, React won't know how to properly inject that into the DOM. They are different elements, after all.
sometimes... I hate how popular avery's posts are. (he's my former boss). I simply can't write like that. Or think like that. good show, ex-boss!
Nice. I've really felt the pain point here. In R I use Drake to run a big pipeline on my laptop. In theory that provides the same "only run the computations you need" DAG, but because outputs are defined as whole data frames, changing or adding a single column often forces recomputation of everything. Column level isolation like this is the smart way to go.

This would be an excellent idea! Oftentimes I'll watch something, then in the middle turn on the subtitles and learn that I was misunderstanding the name of someone/something.

Even if I hear it correctly the spelling may be different and can give better context and cultural flavor.

Tokyo is a notable exception to that list as housing prices have stayed steady even as population grew. It did this by building an enormous number homes over the years.

It's true that many cities face the same problem: by making it difficult to add new supply they make existing homes expensive. Even US cities that aren't famous for being expensive have the same problem (if at a lower scale). They lack the flood of new wealthy population but have the same lack of development.

I recently struggled to find all of the channels in my DTS audio collection. Turns out that it many tracks the important bits were hiding in the front-left-center and right-left-center channels which the hardware decoder in the sound system send nowhere but I was able to find via software decoding.

Completely absurd to have to hack so hard on this stuff, even if I love the process!
(Stealing this argument from a friend who I discussed something similar with ...)

It's hard to see how allowing duplexes will do _anything_ to address housing issues. We have a similar law here in Minneapolis which allows triplexes on any property.

But what are the economics of this? Surely there's not a lot of vacant land in LA or Mpls just waiting for a new plex to be built. Instead, all the plots are already occupied. So that means either converting an existing house or tearing it down and building something new.

What would it cost to convert a single family home to a duplex? I'd say a _very_ conservative estimate is c. $200,000. And what does it rent for? A typical house might be converted into a 700-900 square foot rental. Looking at Zillow, it seems like you'd get maybe $2,000-2,500 for that. Let's be optimistic and say $2,500. So it's $30,000 per year. You'll make a profit in ... 7 years ... after the construction work is done, which could itself take 6+ months. And I suspect my cost estimate is way too low.

Seven years for a positive ROI doesn't seem like a very strong incentive. And if this is your own home that you live in, it'll be unliveable for much of the construction time. That means you'll have to live elsewhere and that cost further delays a positive ROI.

I can't imagine a developer seriously investing in duplexes or triplexes, or even quads. What they would want is to tear down several adjacent houses and build an apartment building in the same space, and to really make it worth it that building probably needs to be 3+ floors.

This plex stuff seems like political theater.
Absolutely absurd. Just get a monitor that doesn't have a hostile, stupid aspect ratio. Then rotate it 90° if that's what works best for you. Done.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're pricing them below cost like they have done with Alexa products.
Ah, sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you were placing the emphasis on what the code was doing, rather than where it was being piped. But why do you think that most of the possible optimisations would only be relevant if the output were being piped to somewhere other than a terminal?

Also, why would making it absolutely optimal be "equivalent to solving the halting problem"? (Though either way, no, I'm not talking about producing 100.0000% optimal code - clearly there's plenty of daylight between the current degree of optimality and that one.)
I don’t actually know that much about the AWS ecosystem at all but to me from the outside I wouldn’t even consider doing anything greenfield there they already seem so far behind in terms of offerings some of which you touched on there but the actual list is much longer AFAIK.

Does anyone who’s less ignorant than me want to give me a run down of why AWS holds so much appeal? Is it purely non technical reasons? Are they doing a much better job than GCP in areas I just am not aware about?

I ask as a genuine question to learn more despite how it may read…

2 years is minimum default warranty by law in EU.

In the UK we have a warranty period with no particular limit, undergirded by the EU 2 year default, through the Consumer Rights Act -- basically it's founded on how long products would be reasonably expected to last, a fridge should last a decade, a cheap toy arguably far less.

But, I've had a problem with this that I think it's a useful example: Steam sold me a defective game, I tried to play it but the bugs ultimately made it impossible to enjoy (the purpose of entertainment!). Under the CRA digital goods are explicitly included in the ability to return when defective; but Steam/Valve decided their rules on "play" time trumped UK law. PayPal provided a refund (tiny amount of money) in accordance with their terms, but now Steam have taken revenge (the employee time spent on the issue certainly cost more than the original purchase), threatening to close, and then simply limiting my account. That should be illegal IMO, but I don't know if it is. I'm not going to pursue them at this point.

Imagine if a fast-food outlet said "if you complain about your food we'll ban you from buying from us", that would have a perverse effect on consumers and reduce the ability to push back against instances of low quality food. Sure, you can boycott them but that seems worse for everyone.

TL;DR at least in the digital domain, even with strong consumer protections companies can work around the law.
Ideal Monitor Skew for Programmers
I think you can buy apartments?
Yes. One HDMI 2.0 to give me 4K@60Hz and then one usb-c to HDMI (or is it DP) for the PiP.

Only one input on this specific monitor can do 4K@60Hz, all the others are 4K@30Hz or good refresh at lower resolutions.

Takes 20 seconds to enable the second display in display settings and then pick the right input for the PiP mode on the monitor (it has a remote). Most of the time I have my personal laptop displaying in the PiP frame lower right. The remaining 3/4 of the screen is my work area.
I agree with your point. Systems like governments get "too fat" and there are many issues with holding them accountable or at least creating more transparency around their actions.

Calling for more regulation by an entity that needs to be regulated itself is a modern paradox.
> as if COVID disappears when you're eating

No, but you can't really eat with a mask on so keeping it on for the entire rest of the time minimizes the risk of spreading and transmitting it. Even if it's not 100% perfect, it still has a significant positive benefit.
I'm trying to read this charitably but can't. As far as I can tell, they're describing the concept of "fuse some keys into chips" (and/or "use a PUF"?) and "do secure boot". Where's the novelty? All I see is PR and bad, bad vibes.

Is there a decent technical document available that actually describes their improvements over the SOTA? Without that, the impression I get is that somebody is trying to dazzle non-technical investors with bullshit.
"Astroturfed"...that's hilarious. I'm a real person. I've been on the site for years. I think for myself and read and interpret data. Big Vinay Prasad is not paying me to come here and spread the gospel of randomized controlled trials and rigorous science.

If you disagree with the data, you're more than welcome to bring rigorous arguments to the debate, and not merely propaganda.

> There are plenty of studies showing that masks work and that they reduce transmission and spread and there are even studies that show that mask mandates have a drastic positive effect in limiting community transmission and spread.

And, as noted, the vast majority of those "studies" are terrible, and the good studies show the opposite.

This is not a game of collecting "papers", and the side with the most papers wins. They're not monopoly money or science points. You have to read them and understand the details. A paper that uses biased or flawed methodology (i.e. most mask studies) is useless for drawing conclusions.
JetBrains releases Compose Multiplatform 1.0 for creating Kotlin apps
There are many other sources of accurate and precise time information. There are multiple public and private institutions that operate NTP servers attached to atomic clocks. If you need a source that doesn't depend on the internet, you can use the NIST broadcasts. And if you really want to go nuts, don't want to rely on the internet or radio, and can't afford your own cesium clock, you can get a chronometer with a temperature-stabilized oscillator and a known drift.
Yeah, a wise decision by our government indeed. However, one of the major reasons Vkontakte is popular is due to it being filled with illegal music and video content without bothering to remove it, at least most people I know amongst its still-users keep using it exactly for that.
I use Safari for actual browsing because it's really unbeatable at it - very fast rendering, has tabs. I'd argue Chromium doesn't quite live up to that promise thanks to the horrible UI rendering and spectacular battery drain that it inherits from Chrome. Firefox I think does a nice compromise between being a good browser and having all that customisation stuff that the kids seem to like, but it does have a tiny hit on performance there too, ie: when opening a new tab the UI lag is as bad as Chrome. Vivaldi takes it to an extreme, and obviously gets the extreme UI lag that goes with that.

I'm probably in a minority, but for me anything that gets in the way of me opening a new tab and loading a webpage in it is just harm.

Her handlers had her do a video call with the IOC president, to placate international demands while only letting her contact someone who has a financial interest in sweeping this under the rug.

Mountain_Skies' anecdote above certainly does not meet any form of "obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable", nor does (say) any of the objective reporting & fair discussion of the Kyle Rittenhouse incident, or other commonplace views normalized among fully half the population.

Arbitrary culling of content which does not constitute "obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable" is exactly what "publisher" applies to, and which is the point of this thread.

We can agree to disagree, while watching Kyle Rittenhouse sue Facebook (maybe not quite into oblivion, but the number of digits in the settlement check should be striking) and the court clarify exactly which of us is right to what degree. Popcorn?

> I guess those sites weren't detecting user agent and were detecting screen resolution?

CSS does this via media queries and allows for different layouts without sending different content. Switching to a mobile-optimized layout at 1080px (note "px" doesn't mean physical pixels to a mobile browser) seems a bit aggressive though.

I imagine it wouldn't be hard for a browser extension to override this behavior, though it could lead to broken layouts or horizontal scrolling.
What Is FHIR? Definition and Overview
It's already happening. In 2020, San Bernadio County had the largest growth in the entire country. 80% of the people who lived in California and moved in 2020 moved to somewhere else in California. LA and SF counties lost the most people, but in most cases they all went to neighboring counties.
I think anti-profiteering laws could be helpful. If you bought land and built a house and want to live in a quiet neighborhood until you die, fine. But maybe if you vote against expanded housing you don't get to sell your house for more than you paid for it, or maybe don't get to sell it at all while you're alive.

Separating the homesteaders from the investors would do a lot of good.
If you genuinely understood me as saying that, then I should clarify, to be absolutely foolproof:

That is not what I'm saying. I'm talking about having a compiler which could produce more optimal code in any given case, or most given cases. I obviously am not suggesting that compilers optimise this and only this case.
> will it kill my soul or is the industry wide enough to find challenging work

Almost no industry is small enough to be that homogeneous to be able to be predictive about it. If you care for your soul do a bunch of research about the specific companies you want to work for. IMHO smaller can be better, if more demanding.
That is great news! Is there any friendly intro/coverage anywhere of the new vector extension?

I am curious about the final design. Would be interesting to hear how people think it compares with ARMs scalable vector extensions.
I just bought my ~55 year old mother an HP laptop. It was completely strange how difficult it was to install Chrome on Windows 11. I couldn't run the MSI installer for Chrome and found out that by default the OS was in something called "S mode" which I had to disable by doing an odd series of steps via the Microsoft store. After finally installing, I got all the weird pop-ups that the articles mentions suggesting in various ploys that Edge was the superior browser. It was also made difficult to convenience the OS that I wanted Chrome as the default browser, it required changing several preference options. I then found that there was no way to disable Edge, as you can some other Windows applications. By using the SysInternals tool Autoruns I found that Edge had at least half a dozen means of persistence / continued execution by launching updaters and background processes doing unknown tasks.
Right, as I said up thread: "I think it's rather than the market rewards performance above security." - so we're not really disagreeing.

In this case I doubt there'd be a big CPU overhead. There'd be some memory overhead, and browsers compete on that, although of course they're kind of memory pigs already.

"The code is there. You can try to link Java JCA/JSSE to Firefox or whatever the project is about. I'm interested in learning how it looks and how it works."

I think once Panama (the new FFI) gets released it'd be interesting to experiment with this sort of thing, though I don't care about Firefox personally. That would eliminate a lot of the tedious boilerplate you'd otherwise have to churn out.
Yes, but the conflict comes from what "here" means. If you draw the boundary around a neighbourhood, sure - it's democratic. But it's just as rational to consider L.A. itself and suddenly it's undemocratic because decisions aren't being made by the "demos" but by a small subset of them - with implications for the whole city. Similarly one could expand the boundary to the entire state.

On the other extreme the residents of a single block could decide it's in their interest to build a skyscraper on their one block. Democracy, right? The residents of an area (that block) are doing what's in their own interest.
Docker containers are easy to build in a way that's pretty bad. I don't think that necessarily implicates Docker containers as a bad tech. In the same way, you can write an insert language here application that's horribly unmaintainable, and that tells you nothing of the language.

I don't like Docker as a company, but I can't imagine living my tech life without containers + Kubernetes, and Dockerfiles are really easy to write and read.
Unusual manifolds: colours, graphs, and probability distributions
I think in your Articles / Tutorials you should show how to migrate(?) e.g. a "Hello World" Maven project running in GitLab CI to Earthly. This will help people understand it better (from a concept they're already familiar with).
