In your addition to that comment, you write: "The point is that there is still art when we remove execution. Some modern art has very elaborate execution, but sometimes modern art is pure idea, and then it is still art."

You seem to be describing some people's broadened view of art rather than modern art itself.

Modern art was made by many artists with many different views. Some of whom might have found execution more or less important than the concept behind their art -- if they even thought about it that way.

Speaking of which, it'd be interesting to see some examples of artists for whom execution (in some sense) was not at all important.
there kindof are, though it's very inconsistent. For example, yesterday I installed the AdGuard app, which adds a proxy and some Extensions.. When I finally realized I didn't need it and it was a paid service, and I really just needed the free AdGuard DNS, I dragged the icon to the trash....

And that also prompted me to confirm that it would delete the proxy and the Extensions that were installed.

I remember a few more apps being like that. So there ARE hooks, just not used universally. AND it won't delete personal files or preferences related to the app, which is what users are expecting these days when they delete an app, UNLESS it's an app installed from the App Store, because those store prefs and data in a different folder than regular apps..
Whatever makes the formalism work (better). If they're not physical observables it doesn't matter what's involved. As long as the observables are real the formalism isn't critical.

Everyone has to eat, and that takes money. But you can only eat so much, and at some point hoarding money is nihilistic and boring. Do innovative things, otherwise, what’s it all for? The “make money number go higher” mentality ruins everything.
This approach suffers from the same fundamental problem as the comparative advantage argument - that there is an infinite reservoir of companies that can immediately rehire the now laid-off talent at equal or better productivity

Real world doesn't work that way. Real world looks much more like the deindustrialized parts of the UK or the US, or the collapse of Soviet economy after switching to capitalism. Companies go bust, taking the whole supply chain with them, workers are laid off and disperse. After a few years, the skills atrophy and the experience vanishes - you cannot put humpty dumpty back together again. More often than not, the workers stay unemployed, underemployed, or just cheat disability. In high-end consolidated markets like semiconductors or aircraft manufacturing, we're not talking about an infinite reservoir, it's a handful of corporations per continent
There's reasons why that doesn't happen to this kind of company

- short term-ism leads to great financial results in the short term so the stock price goes up making a buy out expensive. Anyone that can see the internal issues will know it's not worth that price.

- very few groups can make an offer on companies as large as Intel and Boeing. Those groups are not known for deep engineering expertise.

- companies use poison pills and other measures to prevent take overs
> Bluntly speaking, this is not a problem that tech can solve. Because nothing, no video calls, no vr, no phone calls, can replace an on-site professional.

AFAICT, over the past 150+ years, a qualitative argument like this is made every time a skilled job can be replaced by automation, but the automation wins anyway. The automation quality ends up improving to the point where the economics are inescapable.
We think of American laws and systems to be fair - because we're told that from childhood.

Just for reference, $25K spent in time and then being able to talk intelligently about modern iOS development on a podcast that generates $16K an episode seems like a good investment.

Why do you think so? Those tensor processors are actually already optimized for video processing: all of the complex postprocessing in the iPhone camera app is done by the tensor cores inside the M1 chip. I wouldn't be suprised if it would already far be able outperform the mentioned codecs, but of course it needs lots of software development that can only be done by the big companies.
I think it's hard to buy it, but it's easy to "sell" it / lose it over financializing.
That's a slight bit different because that file metadata is being assigned on the receiving client side and not from the distributor of the file. Likewise, that info is stored in your Spotlight index, not the file itself and isn't moved with the file (you can look at the raw metadata with the `mdls` command on a Mac and see that it is lost when you move something to a USB stick, or upload it to your own server or something)
Even if they don't (currently) feel that they need them, they could be compelled by law enforcement to retain logs and forbidden from revealing this fact publicly. Or their network could get infiltrated.
Open source as defined by the OSI which is what most people agree with, is exactly identical to what RMS calls free software. RMS wants open source to mean what most people call "source available".

We have the terms source available and open source which are well understood and has no ambiguity but RMS and the FSF want to push their free software term and have to change open source so their term isn't obsolete.

It's nothing to do with being a purist or ideal. Because the wider understanding is exactly as pure and ideal. They just aren't the words RMS wants us to use for those meanings. He is obsessive but not for any real gain.

“maximizing shareholder value” is a virus?

I think that is a gross mis-characterization. It is absolutely self-afflicted, more like a drug addiction.

I'm not sure I've fallen for an internet myth or not, but I thought publicly listed corporations were required by law to act in the interest of their investors returns, 'by law' meaning they can be sued by shareholders. Or is that misinformation?
I had a 600 something C that was pretty decent, and my wife had a 720C that we abandoned because drivers got too fussy around Windows 8.1ish (the 64-bit driver in windows update didn't work, but if you got the driver from 64-bit xp, it would work). The color had stopped working, but not bad for 15+ years of service.

Since you started by suggesting hospitals don't need this capability: So because one reason why people might turn up at a hospital not speaking the language isn't "valid" in your eyes, hospitals shouldn't prepare for any people that don't speak the language?

(And your example, Poland, has a pretty big influx of people right now who had different priorities than ensuring they speak the language first)
It's actually not about the browser config, its all about the graphics - this reminds me in firefox you could customize the UI easily with an overlay image.

That would defeat this attack, assuming it was random/undetectable. Maybe time to go the other way and never lock down the config...

Or just disable anything resembling a box in the browser, make html strictly hyper text media again, no programming or js.

This isn't too far off how prescriptions work in many places in europe, east or west. If you're lucky, they'll hand-write instructions on the box (that are incomprehensible to me).

For added confusion, the chemists don't count pills/break packages. So if your order is for 7 doses, but they come in boxes of 5, you'll get 10 doses.
Wait a second, can someone with more knowledge explain how Google Analytics is related to everything else? I don't understand the following sentence from the article:

Not quite sure that was the message of Seveneves; there was quite a bit of rancor and political sniping that escalated to a horrible climax once the mission was already underway. A 'humanity at its best and worst' book, as Stephenson is fond of making.

This isn't crazy - this is how just-in-time compilers work.
This is true. Valuation is key. If you could buy a barely-profitable shitty business for a dollar, it’d be a great deal. On the other hand, an amazing business like Apple is not worth buying if it costs you the Earth.

I think it's first important to define what we're talking about, before talking about it. If a certain set of people have 'a very clear and very specific meaning' of what it is, and another set 'doesn't really have the clear specific meaning', then I think it's pretty obvious which definition we should go with.
No tracking codes will be used if the user has DNT set, which is most people who care about not being tracked.

Veritaseum lost a lot of credibility to me when he released his Waymo-sponsored self-driving video where he conveniently acts like certain things (like his own videos on statistics and critical thinking) don't exist and other claims should be taken at face-value (94% accidents are human error).

As for this "different people learn differently", I think it'd be better to say that different modes, models, analogies are better or worse at capturing the attention of different people long enough to learn something.
I’m a big fan of Kaitai Struct, to the point where I’ve even contributed a small bit of improvements to its Go support, and I use it in a handful of small projects. It’s indispensable for spelunking blobs of binary data.

I’ve also taken some inspiration with a Go library I wrote, restruct:

https://github.com/go-restruct/restruct

… which is a bit like Go’s JSON encoding/decoding library, but with kaitai-like annotations for binary encoding. Check the PNG example to see some of what can be done with it:

https://github.com/go-restruct/restruct/blob/master/formats/...

The main advantage it has over Kaitai at the moment is that it can serialize, which is still not a feature of mainline Kaitai Struct, though it will hopefully be some day.

I know a handful of companies that went through YC trying to build EMR software and have met many more people since who are interested in this problem. It is not a lack of interest from engineers.

I personally feel like it's not treating user's privacy as "fundamental" to increasingly add telemetry like this. In this case correlating downloads to system installs, and to have that on by default.

It's fairly hidden first off (what % of users are going to watch the checksums or read these articles?). You also don't seem to get a chance to opt-out of this until after the installation when you can open settings in a normal use case, yet as explained here[1] they'll be attaching the download token to the install and post-install pings[2] which include system information which seems to enable tracking people via metadata across systems.

The "optional" bit is maybe open to interpretation, but if taken literally it's tracking that's on by default, so the privacy is "optional" here in that sense.

I get this isn't a big deal for a lot of people, but I dislike that Mozilla has a "manifesto" and talks a huge game about empowering users and privacy when they're treating them as secondary priorities rather than actual principles. It strikes me as disingenuous to claim it's a principle then have a bunch of "buts" in there that are increasingly moving away from the alleged principle, even if it isn't nefarious.

It does take energy to pump water. How much is easy to calculate. But if the energy is provided by capturing wind, the cost is just the fixed capital expenditure to buy the wind turbine and pump, plus (as always) maintenance on the turbine, pump, and plumbing.

Maintaining a pipe, even one a half-mile long, is pretty cheap. (It has floats along its length, so it doesn't need to be especially strong.) Probably the biggest maintenance chore is keeping the intake from being fouled with barnacles, something most easily handled by replacing linings periodically.
Is there a list of egress IP addresses that can be added to an allow ACL ?
But you have to make those assumptions if you want to make a model for rhyming because large quantities of raw prose does not contain any information whatsoever about which words rhyme, how they are pronounced or where the accents lie. And of course that would be worse for other tasks, that's kind of the whole point - discarding irrelevant information is the key part that distinguishes learning from memorizing; for most use cases you do want to discard the pronunciation part and other nuances of representation to focus on the semantics, but for some (like this) you may want to discard some other parts in order to focus on how the language sounds like. The 'no free lunch theorem' is conceptually relevant even if it doesn't literally apply here.

Your example of their/they're/there has some data because the whole words can be mistaken for each other, but even if you take a billion pages of prose, you won't get data to deduce that 'there' rhymes with 'pear' but not 'here', that 'great' rhymes with 'straight' but 'cough', 'dough' and 'through' do not rhyme. A model can't learn something that's simply not represented in the training data.

So you either have to bring in external information (i.e. pronunciation models, or dictionary data with pronunciation guides, or audio recordings) or you have to have sufficient rhyming text inside your training data - i.e. train it on corpora of poetry instead of prose.

Also, I'm not sure if the variation of pronunciation is critical - any accent variations that affect every instance of some sound similarly would preserve rhyming. There are certain differences e.g. I recall a discussion about some parts of Shakespeare which rhyme perfectly in pronunciation of that period but do not in modern English, but I think that the variations of modern English accents should be mostly OK from that perspective.
Frankly, I don't think it's as close as people make it out to be. AMD has done some incredible stuff (particularly with their mobile APUs), but Intel is on track to have them beaten to the punch at every point on their roadmap. We're still half a decade off from BIG.little Ryzen CPUs, which really scares me considering how much mileage Apple and Intel has gotten out of it already.

Apple, on the other hand, has put up a bit of a fight. They bought out the entire 5nm node from under the rest of the industry, for better and worse, and then they changed the game again by putting the ball in their court (mobile chipsets). At this point it's hard to even say they're competing against AMD and Intel; the two are chasing entirely different markets at this point. When they do butt heads though, watching the sparks fly has been spectacular. Despite being on decidedly worse silicon and a veritably slower ISA, Intel has managed to refute every one of Apple's offerings with a decidedly cheaper processor. I really do look forward to their response to the M1 Ultra, because I feel like the chip wars have only just begun. With Pat Gelsinger at the helm, Intel has set a warpath through the industry, and their recent performance metrics seem to cement their intent on being the best in the biz again.

Godspeed to all you chip manufacturers out there.

See Marcel Duchamp's Fountain from 1917[1]. It's genius!

Internal links are exactly what I'm looking for, so I can jump from one part of the file to another, but external links in the PDF file work just fine.

The improvement I would like to help my MySQL troubleshooting is that bad queries give better and more specific error messages than “You have an error somewhere”.

That’s not to downplay the complexity of providing that, I’m sure it’s technically difficult, but this is basically the worst debugging experience I’ve had of any language.
Not logging IPs or establishing controls on it is table-stakes for anyone doing anything serious about privacy.
If you position your product as being about privacy, your company about being about privacy, and talk about the importance of online privacy whenever you get any sort of opportunity, then it looks extremely bad if you can't refrain from spying on your users. I don't really think there is any way around this fact.

If this type of telemetry is necessary for Mozilla to develop software, then perhaps they shouldn't be talking so much about privacy, because as it stands, they're not walking the talk, that's what ultimately looks bad. The telemetry is incidental. Nobody is railing against Microsoft for doing the same thing because they're not constantly seen preaching about how bad it is.

The posted changes when the buyout occurred really left a bad taste in my mouth and made we realize that we need a open keybase type ID thing and decentralized groups. Flickr was a gem for groups that would be censored with the growing fcbook ways.. and smughub acquisition seemed to be set to destroy those small communities with new upcoming rules..

now it seems they are choosing to be more nude/porn friendly.. kudos. So what happens if you are a pro user for 3 months and part of several nude communities and then you cancel your pro / paying for it? Any nude photos you've uploaded become history?

If I remember correctly flicker actually had a good export option, so that's a plus.

There are some other things you all could do to make it more attractive.. tip jars seem to the way of the currents. mixin a little patreon like functionality with some penthouse promos and such I guess.

I wonder if there could be a way to keep contacts/groups if you leave flikr - like an @flickerrefugees address on a matrix server ID kind of thing.

People are tired of creating connections to have them destroyed from random and changing winds of (often unequal) moderation policies - so give them a place to meet and share that does not also try to silo and keep from connecting even when the meeting place is cancelled. - Then I think you can get your $7 / month no problem.
I love this idea, wish this was a standard feature implemented in many of my applications and operating systems.

2. The absence of further concerns about what OS details get inevitably leaked, at least for protecting against this one class of threat.
