"Israel is not a state of all its citizens, but rather the nation-state of the Jewish people and only them." - Benjamin Netanyahu, 2019

You are deliberately excluding the passportless, subjugated people who are forced to live in permanent poverty because of Israel's brutal and illegal occupation. Your rich colleague doesn't mean those people don't exist.
Works well on my Firefox/Windows machine. Maybe it's a Safari problem? I sort of get your point (they should optimize for all platforms!) but it's somewhat ironic to immediately assume this is a Samsung-problem, not an Apple-problem.
Arriving not in atomically finely tattered shreds is left as an exercise for the descendants. And, stopping.

It's not going to get better, and I believe it's clear how this happened: Tech innovators have minimal protections for their R&D investment and their only means of seeking relief is both slow and bad for publicity (limits to scope of relief, appeals and astroturfing will see to that).

It's wildly unpopular on here: but if one wants something amazing then one has to also support broad and fast protection for innovation (which also is something that benefits small innovators.) That includes not acting as cheerleaders for brands that copy IP while positioning themselves as price saviours for the common-folk. Without coincidence this is an opportunity that Samsung has exploited in numerous electronics categories: copy fast and drag out the relief process to either sink the innovator or until a point where the relief isn't meaningful.

Copies and near-copies from discounter brands leads to the rise of business models that runs the clock on consumers and only provides minimal revisions; i.e just enough progress to avoid disruption, leading to products that year-on-year seem like the same thing.
I think this might have been true in the past, but I don't think it is true any longer. Zoom grew at a wild pace during the early days of the pandemic, and with that came security issues. However, they recognised that and invested into security.

I have previously reported bugs to Google, including one where they simply didn't put any auth on an API endpoint for a new feature, allowing access to any account's data. That is a massive oversight, but at Google scale we realise these things happen, and the more important consideration is how companies respond.

Zoom have a private bug bounty program, but I previously disclosed Zoom bugs publicly [1] as I didn't think their bug bounty program was worthwhile engaging with.

However, they overhauled it, and now of the dozens of private programs I am part of, Zoom's is one of the absolute best. The payouts are great, the team actively engages with the researchers, and seem to legitimately care about getting things right.

Are they perfect? Of course not. But I would feel safer on a Zoom call that call with many competitors who simply don't get as much scrutiny.

Ok - things change. It was an similar example of the point is that with articles like these we are being 'tenderised' into acceptance of the generally unacceptable. It is a type of manipulative engineering of consent. It is not a fair presentation of the issue.

The 'sales job' suggests there is a (degenerative) agenda already in play with a desired end.
Is that a thing in Swiss? Thought it was all Whatsapp/Telegram there.
With this kind of design (black holes for cameras and sensors), I wonder if they considered that it might trigger trypophobia ("fear of holes"), and if they did, what does it say about your design if you need to analyze it such concerns. I mean phobia or not, these round voids as an element of design are getting ridiculous.
The Note series never went away -- I put four years on a Note 4 and am typing this on a Note 9, still in great condition. So I don't think it's really "circles" as much as Samsung deciding to have only one flagship model.
I like Nukemap, however the problem is that there is no way to have multiple target sites.

Having a visualization of one target site is useful but if it was a full nuclear strike lots of targets would be hit by smaller yielded weapons (I am not an expert).

Industry, Military Bases, Infrastructure and Communications

AFAIK population centers are secondary targets in a first strike, however in a MAD (mutually assured destruction scenario) everything would be a target, right?

I am looking forward for a day where policy making is aided by AI or some advanced modeling that estimates impact over long time spans.

The reality is that a lot of terrible policies have been applied over the years due to short term gains (e.g. being re-elected) and no one thought 20+ years down the line. For example, the Italian phenomenon of the so-called baby-pensioni (people that retired when less than 50y and some even 40). At the time it was great, unemployment drop to ~0% overnight and everybody was happy. 40ish years down the line Italy has a crippling debt also because we are still maintaining millions that have been unproductive for almost 40 years now.

Someone or something looking at long term repercussions could have avoided this altogether. The same can be said for subsidising travel industry, ... .
True, not applying these policies will slow down economic growth in the short term, but if they create such an outcome they probably were never sustainable to begin with. And it's better to have 40years at 2% growth than 15 years at 5% and then 0 for 25.
The 1975 and 2019 cases are dubious, since they are the personal actions of elected individuals (directly or indirectly). The governor general is elected at the advice of ministers and is not a hereditary post.

Queen's Consent is a better argument, although worth noting that it's more like "I don't have to follow your laws" rather than "I get to change your laws".
While a brutal dressing down of the company, I have to admit that this is one of the most nicely made decks I’ve ever seen.

What is the reasoning behind them sharing this publicly, I wonder?
I share your frustration, but you have to factor in what we get for all the complexity. IAM roles are much more secure than "pwn one, pwn them all", containers are much easier to develop and deploy with, etc.

I'm not saying it's worth it, but we should evaluate it on those merits. I, too, have a suspicion it's not, but maybe the larger ops team on AWS can run circles around the smaller ops team on on-prem? There has to be a reason, after all.

You can also say the same with technology. Our CTO doesn’t get any help from me. I’ll go sometimes months without talking to our CTO, which as a CEO of a technology company, that’s kind of rare.

Wow...
> Were people uglier back then?

I think in the same way then as now, media is selective in amplifying certain ideas of human asthetics. There are millions of similarly poor, hard-working people now who don't spend a lot of time tweaking their image. These people are not in your Insta feed either.

(But I think this specific set of photographs sought out a more unbiased view of whomever was working in these areas, and I can see why people were and are furious about the casual destruction of these records!)
For me, it's VCS friendliness. Try checking a .fcstd file into git and see what changed between commits.

Also, it's extremely reassuring to have a description of your model that wasn't generated by a program. In earlier versions of FreeCAD, my model would often not be saved correctly and be totally broken when I opened it again. FreeCAD also crashed randomly on me quite often. In contrast, all you need for editing .scad files is a text editor, and that probably won't crash that often. :)

Increase short interest I guess? Presume they have a massive short position.
I mean, I tend to agree, but on the other hand it takes a certain kind of curiosity to care deeply about things that don't affect our lives in the slightest. You could argue that astronomy and cosmology is important today, but during most of evolution it really didn't matter. I guess it started paying dividends for planning the crops and harvest etc, but still that is quite late. So in that sense, caring about e.g. disease, biology and our immediate lives here on earth seems a lot more "sane".
Threading I get, but why no generics?

Yeah, at least Dex is a reason for this kind of thing. Something to replace the desktop as phones have enough power (for most things I do) but no desktop mode and shitty apps and file system.
Well, it depends on how you're leaking things. If you're doing small allocations and the leaks are interleaved with extant objects, the pages will remain live and you'll just cause pressure.

I've long thought that schools should just let people go at whatever pace they want. This should be easier now with video classes.

Just let people take the algebra or calculus or whatever module, when they feel like it. There would still be some sort of minimum requirement so that you can write a decent email, but there would be no reason to lock people in year groups.

Year groups are still important socially, but there will be plenty of time with people in your year regardless, because the big hump of people will follow along most courses at the same rate.

The theme the author is alluding to is the industrialization of education: shove a bunch of kids through, make sure there's an acceptable defect rate, let them out into society. But we don't have to live like that anymore. If you look at jobs, they don't really map to education these days, so there's not much point in making an assembly line of kids who can solve quadratic equations and write 5-paragraph essays.
They do; the instructions implement WKdm in hardware.

I know nothing about the Palestinian conflict but I have to say that a lot of what you are saying is repeated by Europeans about Roma people and about other Europeans who happen to be a sizable minority in another European country. It almost seems like it's better to be a minority than a majority.

I don't know if that's factual or not, but it doesn't seem that way, the simplest answer would be that is just pure tribalism.
First thing I looked for and biggest feature I see is 4 years of OS updates and 5 years security updates and this also applies to the previous generation of phones like the s21 series. It’s nice to see literally one Android OEM do the bare minimum of software support nowadays given these phones will probably get used for 4-5 years on average.

I wonder how long Samsung can keep charging these prices though. They seem to be running headfirst into a brick wall of diminishing returns.
Based on their press releases, it sounds like they actually hold significant stock, hence the urgency to do something about it I guess.

Making atomics (and thus reference counting) fast is absolutely not the "main" benefit of Apple silicon.
In other news, Lithuania (which has a border with Russia and Belarus) has asked the US to station US troops permanently in the country, which I think hints at a much wider game at play.

I suspect that Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Afghanistan, along with Russia and China, are all on the same chess board somewhere at a classified location on the US East coast at the moment, and that a key piece of the puzzle that is never mentioned is Belt and Road.

> The benchmark game makes it clear that no language with GC gets closer than a 2-3x the time of a non-GC language (julia is the closest) and that matches most real world experience (and also that we don't always care about that hit). It also makes it clear that being dynamically typed and interpreted is a huge penalty in performance.

It makes it clear that some people have most time to optimize for a benchmark than others.

This benchmark on state-of-the-art cryptography shows that GC-ed languages including Go and Nim can be 2x faster than Rust:

- https://hackmd.io/@gnark/eccbench#Pairing (old benchmarks, in particular Nim had a parameter passing issue/bad copy behavior on large types)

Furthermore, Nim GC/memory management is type-dependent, only seq/string (which use malloc/free) and `ref T` type (which use refcounting) involves some runtime.
So Nim devs can choose to opt-in in GC or use manual memory management depending on their priorities.
One might ask, if the CEO does 1% of finance, and 0% of technology, what does a CEO do? Office, HR, comms management?
Amazing. I just hope Matt Levine (of Bloomberg’s money stuff) has seen this deck today.
I won't pretend I know an answer. But I do think we need major reform.

I'd like to see:

* A Ban on political parties at least on their names on ballots (so you have to at least know your MPs name, no one can just vote Labour/Conservative) and funding for local campaigns (so local MPs rely on the local party not national donors to get elected).

* We need to break up foreign owned and corporate media (newspapers and TV are mostly controlled by the Murdoch family here, the person he blesses wins most elections).

* Scrapping FPTP and constituencies or at least making constituencies bigger and getting them to select multiple reps. Right now, you can win a seat with 30% of the vote and 70% of people are not represented. It's even worse when you know you'll get 25% just because of your party, so you desperately chase about 5% of voters who might "swing" to you. 95% of people might as well not exist.

* There is a good argument to divide reps based not on head of population but on groups like we used to (commoners vs lords etc). But to do it based on age. Right now, the UK hasn't had an election NOT decided by one demographic bulge for about 50 years. When they were young they demanded (and got) free university, housing and healthcare. Now they're old we have scrapped all that and we're just enlessly throwing money at pensioners and closing everything else. Maybe we should have 100 employees elected by voters 18-30, 100 for 30-40s, etc?

* If I were really radical, I'd scrap voting for most people and replace it with the equivalent of jury duty: pick 1 person per 1000 like for a jury (over 18, not in prison, not insane, eligible to vote, not related to a candidate etc that would be about 250 people for my borough), taken drag them to a hall somewhere 9-5 mon-fri for 6 weeks, and give all the candidates a day or two each to speak and answer questions. Let them request experts or further info etc. Then those 250 people can vote to pick the MP. Right now, there is zero incentive to know anything before you vote and most people have no idea what is going on. I arrogantly consider myself well informed, but I'd be a lot better informed if it had been the equivalent of a job for a few weeks before polling day.

* Maybe even replace our (messy, unelected but also full of failed politicians) second house with experts or even a random selection of citizens.

Again, these are just my ideas (mostly stolen from others, none original). But I think right now our governments are failing both practically (bad policy) AND democratically (they're unpopular and cannot secure the support of 51% of adults).

They are the the product of a very complex system that includes the occasional flawed vote BUT doesn't really make them democratic IMHO. The danger here is that eventually the majority of people will get so pissed off they will abandon the whole thing and we'll "elect" a strong man like Putin who is at least effective. Then there will be no more elections and his kids won't be effective and we'll be stuck with them...
How does it not have anything to do with lock-in? They literally make it expensive to use someone else's services, outside of the AWS data center.
Sure, but that's still democracy.

A treadmill maker trying to get users to pay monthly subscription to use it...
If you have low standards for what you want out of your job being completely or somewhat satisfied with your job is easy. I enjoy the company of my colleagues, have long holidays that allow me to spend a lot of time with my family and occasionally have engaged and diligent students. I’m somewhat satisfied. Would I do this for free? No. But most people have much worse jobs than I do. They get less respect, have less autonomy, less money and work longer hours than I do. They have less intellectual stimulation. Jobs that lots of people find very satisfying are badly paid, incredibly competitive or both. Actors, artists, professors, many people spend a decade or more of their life chasing that dream and never get it.

If you think this is despair I suggest talking to some depressed people. Most people work for money.
In my case I had to call. Maybe because I am not on a contract.
The runtime overhead is type-specific.

If you don't use automatically managed types like seq/string and ref, there is no GC underneath. And even then, the GC is just reference counting so no difference from Rust Rc/Arc.
A "fracture critical" component is by definition a component that will cause a structure to collapse should it fail :D

We know what that "fracture critical" components of a structure through analysis of the design. So what the NTSB is saying here is that none of the components of this bridge that were identified as being fracture critical are the cause of failure.

Of course that doesn't mean there wasn't a single component failure, it is possible that there was an error in the analysis and a fracture critical component was not identified. Alternatively an error in construction could result in weaknesses in the structure leading to more fracture critical components.

It's also possible there were existing failures in non-fracture critical components that had not been detected, in which case you are getting closer and closer to every component being critical.

My very first attempt at programming was on a TRS-80 Model II, in a junior high school summer class. I made a Dungeons and Dragons character generator. Sadly I didn't know about loops, so there was a lot of manually typed duplicate code :-). As jeffwass commented, the small screen and blocky characters were part of the charm. Although to me at the time, it may as well have been the computer from the Starship Enterprise. Good times.
> Subsuming the individual to the social unit is at the heart of the worst excesses of racism, nationalism, etc. If you look for the worst mass crimes in history, you will find this idea at the core.

Do you have anything other than the jordan peterson paraphrase to back this as a cause, as opposed to the actual dangerous ideologies? One could just as easily state as absolute fact that subsuming the individual to the societal unit is at the heart of the greatest accomplishments of humankind.

This idea is a straightforward false dichotomy presenting the only alternative to absolute individual liberty as complete subjugation of free will, and used to provide some truly absurd explanations for things, such as 'honor' being the actual problem in this case, not the 'killings'

In my benchmarks, Nim is faster than Rust:

- multithreading runtime (i.e Rayon vs Weave https://github.com/mratsim/weave)

- Cryptography: https://hackmd.io/@gnark/eccbench#Pairing

- Scientific computing / matrix multiplication: https://github.com/bluss/matrixmultiply/issues/34#issuecomme...

There is no inherent reason why a Nim program would be slower than Rust.
