It's an attack leveraging NAT workarounds (like SIP ALG) to potentially access any device behind a NAT by letting a single device load some content sent with the right package sizes and fragmentation properties (say, by publishing a malicious ad).
Very interesting demonstration. Thank you for sharing.
I don’t actually care how rare this is, when you have a major feature of your Operating System like Fast User switching which can leave two accounts logged in simultaneously, then it’s inexcusable to not test under these basic scenarios.

This is just more evidence of the systemic issues Apple has with maintaining software. Forgetting to test new features work with Fast User Switching is a failure to maintain the fast user switching feature of your operating system!
Let's suppose you work in government and want to build a business case for using and contributing to FLOSS.

Idealogical arguments will only go so far; the priority is to cut costs, make do with limited resources (staff) and ensure systems are reliable and flexible.

What do you do? Are there any tried-and-tested approaches? Asking for a friend. ;-)
The M1-era is a very difficult time for the crowd who just wants to criticize Apple for the sake of it. I use both an M1 and an M1 Max every day alongside Threadrippers and Xeons and while Apple misses a lot, they fucking killed it this time.

Do you mean, "He didn't explicitly say," otherwise how do you know what he was thinking if you assert, "He explicitly didn't say"? I didn't hear him say he was solipsistic either.

Being logical doesn't preclude someone from beleiving in a god, though it will probably preclude some beliefs or teachings of most organized religions.

(There are a few minor issues of the religion of which I am a part of, but religion is a man-made construct and thus inherently fallible. And I recognize that since there are multiple different religions, not all of them can be correct at the same time, and thus it's possible the one I am a part of is one of the incorrect ones.)

Believing in a god can be used as an emotional crutch by some people, but it does not mean it is always an emotional crutch for everyone that does believe in a god.

Many people have a problem of differentiating from what was actually said versus what they think someone meant. Sometimes I have a problem of understanding what was meant when people don't actually say what they mean. I think George Soros is a person who means exactly what he says.

Bitcoin is not crucial to build more sustainable societies.
> You don’t personally need to be. If it’s free money why hasn’t someone done it? Why are there houses sitting there vacant?

I have seen some articles that it starts happening there too. For example buying houses in Detroit, through web of shell firms and sitting on them like some kind of slumlord dragon.

>I also disagree with the silly assertion that landlords are sociopaths would you rather people be homeless? If someone is unable to afford to buy a house what should they do?

I'm sorry, if you are using your economical advantage to outbid people in house market and then propose this people a rent that is higher than mortage on same house? With bonus points for squeezing them on rent so they can't save money to buy their own house(with or without mortage). Then use all that money to buy even more houses? So even more people can't afford them? Yes that a sociopathic behavior. Also word slumlord exists for a reason.

>Also - are business owners sociopaths? Doctors? Farmers? Medical device makers?
Are you trying to make argument for me?

Because under capitalism only function of business is to make money for shareholders(aka. owners, this include companies not publicly traded). It's as sociopathic as it can be. If your only goal is to make more money, you are not a good person. There are owners that don't do that, but in the end they will have more disadvantages when competing with ones that do. It involves breaking the law/shady behavior if you think you can get away with that. Leaving money on the table is a sure way to get yourself a competitor that will take it and use it against you.

Farmers: there are decent ones, but if they want to squeez as much money they can from animals/crops they have, they will do some horrific stuff. Just ask yourself why there are laws popping all over the US that make it illegal to film whats going on farms(including factory ones)

Doctors: there are decent ones, as always. But there are doctors that will just come by during medical procedures in, in-network hospitals as out of the network doctor and then slam patient with horrendous bill, just for being there(or helping in some small way). Shilling to pharma companies by prescribing/overprescribing their drugs? To have a fun trip to Hawaii/other perks? Dr. Wakefield, crooks that sell bleach as cure all drug, other scam artist in white gowns? Selling dewormer as a cure for anything but worms? As I said before there are decent doctors, but also a bad ones. It's only a problem if we allow them to do this stuff and don't take any actions to stop them.

Medical device makers: Have you read anything about EpiPen? P-value hacking? Pushing your do nothing failed drug as hope for sick people through FDA/etc.? This entities are businesses, their goal is to make money. Accidentally they can save some people, but it's not their goal. It's money. I have wrote some words about it earlier.

So sociopathy isn't who you are, it's what you do.

I'm not saying I'm a good person, I'm definitely not, but even I sometimes raise an eyebrow seeing things some people do.
This largely matches my experience fwiw - I was in college in 2010 and didn’t have much money (and coins were harder to buy back then too, mining was still not super easy without a gpu rig).

I thought the tech was cool, but never owned any real amount and didn’t really have an understanding of why there might be long term value.

There was Bitcoin faucet which used to give out some free - I think that was how I got some tiny amount in my first wallet that I eventually lost when I wiped the laptop for sale.
Why would 0.6 m of water make a city unlivable? Will 0.6 m make a place where are no "freak" storms into a place "under water full time"?

That is an entirely savage fantasy. 0.6 m is nothing compared to the natural rate of change in a modern city. See for example the embanking of the Thames, or try to imagine how the beaches of New York looked 100 years ago. They were built, rebuilt and raised and redesigned many times over.
First, Why post an article that just refers to testing done at The Verge instead of linking to The Verge's own article?

Second, the article at the Verge is based on running an x86 game under Rosetta's x86 emulation instead of testing the performance of a native ARM and Metal game.

Strangely, The Verge's Mac Studio review covers the fact that the Adobe suite of software had to be updated to support ARM and Metal before you could see the full performance of the hardware without emulation, but they completely ignore this for games.

>With many recent professional Mac reviews, the story has been: Apple makes great hardware, but the software — specifically Adobe’s Creative Cloud — isn’t optimized for Apple’s ideas.

But at this point, Adobe has had quite a bit of time to catch up. Apple has sold a whole bunch of M1 devices — the demand is here, and Adobe has responded. Premiere, Photoshop, Lightroom, Audition, Media Encoder, and more are running natively on Apple Silicon (and After Effects is available in beta). And the story has basically flipped: the Mac Studio now appears to be one of the few computers that can unlock the full power of Adobe’s software.

The graph from the Verge embedded in this article is mislabeled. 4K should have the lowest fps and 1080p the highest. From the Verge's testing, the $6,200 M1 Mac Ultra's performance in Shadow of the Tomb Raider is as follows:

4K: 60fps

1440p: 96fps

1080p: 108fps

The Verge doesn't mention what graphics setting SoTR is set at, but assuming it is Ultra, the M1 Ultra's performance is about on par with an RTX 3060 Ti (MSRP $400):

4K: 54fps

1440p: 96fps

1080p: 130fps

Here's what a 3070 Ti (MSRP $600) gets:

4K: 67fps

1440p: 111fps

1080p: 162fps

Here's what a 3080 Ti (MSRP $1200) gets:

4K: 83fps

1440p: 147fps

1080p: 210fps

GPU performance in games doesn't scale linearly. You pay a lot more for a small boost in fps. Sourced from gpucheck.com which loosely matches up with the reviews I checked.

Current climate change is happening at an incredibly fast rate compared to historical fluctuations. I don't think they are comparable. But the point is nobody knows for certain so when it comes to modifying our environment at a grand scale we should probably try to be conservative.

> Right, but manufacturing's share of GDP is low as it has ever been.

That only means that we are creating more jobs than manufacturing can provide. There is no point in manufacturing more and more if current levels are enough. For an analogy, agriculture is only 2% of GDP but it is good enough to feed everyone. Increasing the percentage of GDP of agriculture is pointless.
We have been using a token vendor for PCI level 1 compliance and it's been most excellent.

I can't tell you how many times over the years I've seen tens of millions of rows of sensitive data(e.g. ssn) sitting in databases unencrypted. Software devs as an industry really needs to take this more seriously, but often businesses simply will not allocate the funds to do this right because of minimal risks to the corporation. At least with PCI the companies are forced to take card data security seriously.. but for instance nacha data, not nearly as much.

Absolutely the way to handle sensitive data in every app, so much so that I'm working on an open source version.
In general it is true, that climate changes are normal.

But the drastic, artifical change we are about to wittness, is something new.

>Sometime in living memory, the built environment of the U.S. began to freeze in place. I’d mark the time roughly at *1970*, but it’s a process, not a single seminal event.

> It is obviously fair for authorities to take some time to plan things out and weigh the costs and benefits. But they spend, well, an inordinate amount of time weighing the costs and benefits. In a 2018 study of environmental impact statements under NEPA, *the mean statement took 4.5 years to complete*

"The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), *enacted in 1970*, established a policy of environmental impact assessment for federal agency actions, federally funded activities or federally permitted/licensed activities that in the U. S. is termed "environmental review" or simply "the NEPA process."

Things like unions and safety regulations had more of an effect on costs of projects. In terms of time to complete projects, what you see above is the biggest culprit.

> A universe with an infinite amount of mass and energy in infinite space doesn't really have any sensible notion of past, present or future - because all possible pasts, presents and future, exist at all times somewhere within it.

This is actually untrue for many reasons, but one is that there are different kinds of infinities. For instance, there are an infinite amount of real numbers between 0.0 and 1.0, and none of them are pi. Just because something is infinite, doesn't mean everything is possible within that infinity. Again, there are an infinite number of integers, but none of the are pi or 0.1 or 37.5
100% THIS! There is a reason so many products and platforms - like WordPress, which powers so many blogs on the internet - were built leveraging PHP: productivity/getting stuff done! I would add that i'm not only implying that conventional developers gain productivity...but that also that PHP empowered - yes empowered - folks who may not be "real" developers, and gave them a tool/platform to participate on the production (not only consumer) side of the greater web.

I'm not going back to the office but there is a sense that outsourcing to cheaper east euro / s.e. Asian dev shops will become more commonplace.
That's different from having the "know-how", though. We have the knowledge and ability to manufacture a lot--as much as or more than any past point in time. We just "produce" a lot more stuff that isn't manufactured now as a share of our economic output.

Sadly "Fast User switching" seems to be full of bugs in itself (in my experience).

It does seems to be a feature that gets very little testing or quality control. I'm not surprised at all if it causes issues with Universal Control.

Also, your dad is 99% of the way to having an enormous "memory palace" if he's got all of Cork memorized. All he needs to do is imagine a walk between any two points in Cork, then imagine the things he wants to remember at different places along that journey, such as at every intersection. To recall, simply imagine repeating the journey, and the remembered items will be at the intersections. Digits of pi or the order of a deck of cards are a good way to test it, and the cards bit is great for pub tricks and free beers.
I don't mind things going slower and costing more for good reasons - what concerns me though is the intentional graft, feet dragging, and insertion of middle men to extract as much money as possible from an important project. Unfortunately unions are a big and willing part of the problem in the US.

It’s definitely the crowd showing why apple will never target the larger gamer market. Apple would have to target a market audience that is pretty opposite what apple tech is about. As one YouTuber said it “gamers are high touch, etc”.

Though I do have to fault apple for even bothering to compare this SoC to the 3090. They were always going to get very strong animus from people who wouldn’t bother to remember the TDP qualifier “up to 200w”.

If they really want to compare themselves to the 3090 then they need to make an SoC whose TDP approaches the TDP of a comparable CPU+GPU at low and high ends. Ie make the chip much bigger.
Not Bitcoin is crucial to build more sustainable societies?
It breaks my heart that till today we don't know how Inca (or possibly their predecessor civilization) constructed Sacsayhuaman and Machu Picchu. It is still unclear exactly how they achieved those structures. We're talking about 140 tonne rocks being put together to form those structures and assembled without mortar in such a way that one can't slip a piece of paper in between rocks.

When the Conquistadors encountered the structures, they had no idea how they were being made or put together. They pulled them apart and used the pulled apart chunks with mortar to build cathedrals that mostly fell apart every time there was a tectonic movement. So much knowledge in those khipus burnt by religious fanatics.

We use cement concrete which is a massive source of CO2 production. If we could have somehow preserved the knowledge of how those structures were built instead of burning their knowledge, and killing their stone masons and scientists, we could have had a very different modern world today.

The most important part of the post:

> This is a draft of a chapter for a book I am working on... My conclusions are pretty dramatic and I want to know if they are, for some reason, wildly wrong.

I am familiar with the author; he's genuine about wanting feedback. Some of the comments here are likewise genuine, but I worry that other readers here are like this fellow:

> The obvious answer is that the inconsistency is in bad faith, to fudge the numbers into fitting the author's preferred narrative.

You want "bad faith," try assuming the author's plea for feedback is dishonest.

On the highlight recover for digital: you mean if it is fully clipped to white (max value in each color) over an entire region? Otherwise you can highlight recovery through adjacent pixels in whatever colors are not completely blown out, or through other adjustments from the raw values. Or did you mean something different?

Untapped potential. exactly. To me the biggest problem isn't the results (even the ads) it's the lack of innovation. The lack of making search an experience and something that generates a value I can store and share.

I've been looking at several of the options talked about here. My favorite so far is Neeva (https://neeva.com) due to their "spaces" concept and how it provides a simple building block I can explore to address many of the use cases I have for search.

Search needs innovation and people trying new things.
Is this really the case? I would have assumed that planning/zoning/permits/slow bureaucracy is more to blame than the actual building phase.
No. It doesn't completely explain the ossification of our society not should that be an excuse to not build more.
On Apple's graph there is a clear line showing that their performance is better, irrespective of power.

Miyazaki tries not to be too heavy handed when working with designers and artists, so a lot of this is their personal creativity shining through:

> Miyazaki: Yes, according to the artists it was, but I think, If your instructions are too specific, the designs you get will be somewhat devoid of creativity, so I try to give them just the most basic, essential information before handing it over to the artists imaginations, which inevitable eclipse my own. But my initial instructions are certainly abstract. For example, when designing equipment I'd simply say "Make Something you can trust your life to on the battlefield, or "Make something that has enchantments to protect you." I think the artists probably didn't know what I was talking about half the time. Haha.

> Waragai: That's true

> Miyazaki: I'm sorry. Haha. Of course, If I don't get what I want, then I start giving more specific descriptions, and I might even start drawing things on the white board, but even then I'd never go so far as to say it has to be this colour or this shape. I don't want the designers to just become my tools. Of course, It doesn't always go as I want, but I think that's probably due to me not getting the best out of the artists, and this is something I want to get better at in the future.
