I don't see it quite as pessimistically. Of course people are going to try to make as much money as possible being early to something they consider the next big thing. Of course there were going to be ridiculous dogecoins and shibcoins and peepeepoopoo coins that make people rich just because people are having fun and being reckless in this new wild west of online currency.

That doesn't make legitimate projects null and void, or devalue the problems they're trying to solve.
>Sometimes it can be.

Nope. I guarantee people would like skiing more if you were possible at ~70 degrees. Snowmobiles can be fun, but they'd be more fun without the twenty extra layers of clothing you need to put on. Warming yourself by a fire can be nice, but it's the warming that's enjoyable. Being cold sucks.

Again, being cold leads to hypothermia. Just wear a coat, it's not that big of a deal.
Sorry for an obvious question.

What is the current situation that requires anyone to use a bot to buy a Pi? Why is a Pi so important today?
I won an award from the FSF for my contributions to Emacs
> allowing a small, incredibly talented, incredibly missed individuals to reverse the firmware/NAND challenges and correctly respond to the challenge.

Let my guess. Related to the various 'stealth' servers that exist for XBL?

Got any more fun stories from that time?
No. Plugins are just executables that communicate with Nu over stdin/stdout using JSON or Cap’n Proto; they can be written in any language.
I know almost nothing about economics. Yet I was flabberghasted when I read that some very influentual economists explicitly reject empiricism. Um, ok. Does that mean they're arguing about how things should be, if only everyone was rational like them?

Versus, oh I don't know, getting all scientific, and try to understand how things really are, be able to make predictions, and then maybe test one's theories. Just a thought.

Is that the kind of corruption you're talking about?
Ah, didn’t know Bitwarden doesn’t support extra fields like that, that is something I use as well. Thanks for the reply, it’s rare to hear about some (even personal) negatives of bitwarden :)
Hey, would you have some details/info on how I can figure out what exactly my XDR is ‘doing’ (find its connection type like you explained, and pixel depth that the graphics card is outputting - 8 bit vs 10 bit).

I have the M1 Max 14”, and also bought the XDR around a month ago for the extra 6k screen real estate. One thing I noticed is that I can’t figure out what pixel depth it’s running at on my M1 (intel shows 30 bit framebuffer in System Report, M1 shows nothing). SwitchResX software is reporting that it’s running in “Millions of Colors” (8 bit), but I’m not sure if that’s true. The same setup is reporting Billions of Colors on an intel MacBook.

It overall seems to be there’s things missing for the XDR <-> M1 interactions :S
We have a 10 year warranty on the frame. Replacement parts can be shipped worldwide in 3-10 days. The components such as brakes, drivetrain, wheels are industry standard and can be serviced by any bicycle shop.
People who don't know what firmware is don't care about this. Even people who do don't care. I showed this to my brother who is both a switch owner and works in tech. He didn't care. If the device works and lets them play pokemon they're content. Depressing but it's the truth.

I don't see what corporate personhood has to do with that the parent comment. They are asking if government restrictions on how Nintendo makes their product 'tamperproof' are desirable. We would have to answer the same question even if we removed 'the legal fiction of corporation' and only allowed partnerships and sole traders.
Interstallar movie is on its own pretty stupid. Seriously, just your regular sci fi bs.

Hans summer OTOH, makes it a masterpiece. Docking scene or the cornfield chase are made awesome with its soundtrack. If you watch it without the music, it won't have that punch to it.
AI and nanotechnology are working together to solve real-world problems
The fact that they didn’t disclose the original breach when they detected it should be cause for any company serious about security to reject Okta as a potential vendor.
Attempting to restrict it to just education would be a problem, it's much better to make it the cheap universal standard linux thingy anyone can learn on, and then apply that knowledge in real life.

But scalping is a totally separate issue. They provide fairly minimal value if any, to anyone but themselves, while raising prices for everyone.

I don't really see why a non profit organization should have to support a use case that is detrimental to many people.
It seems like they're being allowed a software monopoly that reduces consumer choice and increasing consumer costs.
Lol have you tried running own Ethereum node?

If you get banned from OpenSea but still want to sell your Bored Ape, you definitely still can, and almost certainly for whatever the market rate on OpenSea is.
And especially without deliberately sabotaging the user's device. Nintendo should be forced to fully refund every affected user in this scenario.
What an eye-opening article. Thanks for posting.
They will always be the Unreal Tournament company to me. Unreal and Return to Na Pali are still two of my favorite games to this day. Honestly wish someone would make games like those again.
I have a dahon mariner bike. I like it even though I lack the boat it’s supposed to pair with (I put it in my car). It doesn’t fold as small as the bromton, but I think the wheels are bigger.. it’s useful to have the bike when traveling, dropping car at shop. I think I like the Danone better than my brothers bromton e-bike (which he won in a raffle.. lucky). Ebikes are great though.
This is like saying Heartbleed is proof the Web will never work. You can't even guarantee secure connections! What will happen when the spy agencies start using these?! Decentralization isn't proof a system has no bugs, it's proof the system works without an authoritative governance, which I will remind you is the topic at hand in this particular comment section. Is crypto a scam? Maybe, maybe not. If you think so, just don't use it!
What we know doesn't work are thousands of individual paywalls and associated subscriptions. Can you imagine journalism continuing on this path for another 20 years?

I feel quite strongly that syndication is the only possible solution, if we're going to compensate journalists fairly. One subscription, no user-hostile gatekeepers or paywalls, no artificial barriers to either publication or exploration.

Apart from that, it's no longer 1997, and people are used to paying for stuff online. Frequently they pay a LOT for stuff online. There is nothing radical about this.
You'd have to be conflating about half a dozen different concepts to write that sentence. I can't help you. If you want to learn, you can.

All the blockchain holds is that a certain address (0x12345678) owns a certain token ID (42) minted from a certain contract (0xDEADBEEF). That's all. It proves provenance. What the metadata contains, where it's hosted, etc. is irrelevant.

So while it's true that OS hosts the JPEG of your NFT, for example (it actually caches it), the point is about proving ownership of a specific token identifier, not just a pretty picture.
sounds like the government.
Old updates are considered trusted since they were signed by the manufacturer. The state of (a least an approximation of) the current verision is stored using efuses as state.

If you had a secure enclave that had long term storage it it, but prevented decrementing the version would be equivalent, but efuses are much simpler of a construction.
Yeah, mushrooms don't sear like meat. They only brown after enough water has been cooked out. The only real reason to dry off your mushrooms before cooking them is if you're frying them in a lot of fat, to prevent spatter.
I'm not sure why the homepage's top site (https://mundo.sputniknews.com/20210521/las-ciudades-modelos-..., though I don't trust Sputnik News), and news page (https://www.hondurasisnotforsale.org/news)'s second site (https://criterio.hn/maestros-en-roatan-exigen-alto-al-saqueo...), is from 2021, but the news page's top site (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/sep/08/honduras-city-...) is from 2012.
The general consensus seems to be that while both crypto and the Web share this problem, the Web is ultimately redeemable while crypto should be nuked from orbit. It's an interesting contradiction in public opinion, probably stemming from all of the money involved.
There should be, could be, possibly are safer shells which would be appropriate. Not bash in its present form, for non-trivial problems.
Another point my teacher made when she presented this article was the power of words like "ritual" and "ceremony" to dismiss a foreign society's customs as "religious rites", detaching them from any functional purpose or cultural context. (In modern terminology, one might refer to this as a form of "othering".)
There is no objective, bright line boundary at which shaming crosses into illegal harassment. They can be both one and the same thing quite easily.

Million dollar question. Anyone know about the inner workings of the various Switch modchips that allow homebrew on newer consoles with RCM exploit patched?
Who is being given a software monopoly? Nintendo controlling the software that runs on their hardware is not a monopoly.
Here is a rule of thumb for this type of thing:

If something has a 1/N chance of happening, then after N tries = 65% chance of it happening at least once. 2N = 85%, 3N = 95% and 4N = 99%.
I have sleep apnea and honestly CPAP seems about as primitive as an iron lung. I opted for an oral appliance and hope it works.
Sorry, this Slashdot '97 attitude is obsolete, the world has moved on. It's about safer, more robust languages now, supplemented by tests and tools, and getting a good night's sleep. Prevention is simply a lot cheaper and more comfortable than eternal vigilance.
Thanks for getting into specifics. What I and I suspect a lot of other negotiation-phobic people lack is specific wordings, actions, etc that we're confident will be taken seriously. All the floofy theory is no good if you don't know the individual steps.
Not sure why an entire page is needed solely to embed the Line Goes Up video. Here's a direct link to it on YouTube:

A few people I've worked with have used our nix build successfully on MacOS, but I stick to Linux. They've told me it works fine after making some dependencies conditional. I would've expected it to be death by a million papercuts, so I'm delighted it works and a VM isn't needed.
I'm a little thrown. The term "residency" , the openness of the problem set and the description of the deliverable (publishing) make it sound academic largess. However, it seems unclear how IP rights are determined. It seems strange that that's not mentioned at all in the FAQs.

I went back on forth if the goal was to apply existing techniques to unexplored problems or discover new techniques.
There's a flip between when the feedback is super, super helpful (consensus building, as you say), to a moderate inconvenience to screwing up your estimates because you seem to always post a PR right after the reviewers have started some new thing.

Then farther down that continuum someone is busting your chops for some stupid reason that, after you get back from lunch or coffee, you realize is completely valid (or even gives you an idea for an enhancement) and okay you change how a conditional works or add some more tests.

It makes me wonder if in a corporate setting PRs would be better treated as pseudorandom audits, based on a random factor and a weight for automated linting (so people don't learn to game the linter, which can be some of the worst code you ever see.)

A related issue is that most tools make it pretty difficult to look at and interact with old PRs. Feedback loops have some slop, and while it's better that you get the feedback as you are writing the code, fast follow often works as well, and I think we'd be better as a group if you could request revisions on a recently landed PR after the fact. This is mostly okay but you really need to fix your variable names, conditional block, and you missed a boundary condition over here that might not break today, but there are already stories in the backlog that will break it for sure.
Of course political violence is not a new thing. And given your choice of examples, I feel compelled to remind you that it is certainly not just a right-wing phenomenon.

I am simply stating the ideal, and how the present state of affairs differs from that ideal. I would also add that we are the downslope from a relatively high-water mark period of free speech, and I see no value in regressing in the manner we have.
I know you're being a bit snarky, but the miners voted on that decision and decided, collectively, to fork. It's decentralized in the sense that there's no central mandate, and everyone needs to agree with a decision or that decision will ultimately fizzle.

Volta (2017) -> Turing (2018)

Volta was HPC only while Turing was consumer line, I guess that may have something to do with the out of order naming sequence.

Then we had Ampere which was dual market. And then split again with Lovelace on the consumer side and Hopper for data centers.

Just guessing here, obvi.

The Nature link to the paper in the article is paywalled. The arxiv preprint is here:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.01725

As is unfortunately usual with press releases, this press release is gobbledygook that doesn't really give any useful information about what is going on. The word "vanish" in particular is very poorly chosen: it does not appear at all in the actual paper, and of course the actual paper nowhere claims that electrons just vanish (which is physically impossible--the only way to make an electron "vanish" is to annihilate it with a positron, and nothing of that sort is going on here).

What is actually happening, as far as I can gather (I am not an expert in this field and the paper is pretty technical, obviously written for other experts and not for a more general audience), is that at the superconducting transition, the shape of the Fermi surface changes, and this has the effect that ways for interactions to occur inside the material that were available above the transition temperature (which is roughly what the term "quasiparticles" means) become forbidden below the transition temperature. This transition into formerly allowed interactions becoming forbidden is what allows the material to be superconducting below the transition temperature: basically, the now-forbidden interactions were the ones that were causing nonzero electrical resistance inside the material by dissipating energy. This could very roughly be described as quasiparticle modes "vanishing", but to call that "electrons vanishing", as the press release does, is, as I said above, a very poor choice of terminology.
I’m using the poll of Indian Americans to specifically to contextualize my experience with that of enraged_camel. See my post further up about 87% of Hispanics and 82% of Asians saying that “political correctness is a problem in the country.” That’s not consistent with large numbers of people in those groups feeling so burdened by the things other people say that it impairs their daily life.

As to action items, have some perspective! Don’t feed the fear/outrage machine by writing overwrought stuff like this:

> Everyone wants to do that, until they find themselves the target of a joke while struggling to have a good career, live in a nice place, and raise a family as a member of an unprivileged group with a lot of adverse baggage to overcome.

This sort of attitude is othering and doesn’t reflect how most minorities actually experience and are affected by insensitive comments. As a corollary, be skeptical of activists—don’t let a minority of loud voices dictate how your approach to whole groups. And don’t overlook that social stability and harmony with others are also things that minorities want. Resist the urge to provoke an all-out race war through your rhetoric, writings, political support, etc.
So perhaps a different way to frame this then is that the Switch is a product that was not made for you. And that’s ok.
Maybe users should be responsible for what they intentionally run on their machines.

I grabbed a copy of that shell script, reviewed it, and committed it to git. It's extra nice to save a specific cooy of it so you get the same version of the nix cli tools across the team. It works with different versions just fine, but still better to standardize.
Another data point: Australia basically only has 3 nation-wide mobile networks.

They're broadly compatible from a handset perspective - sometimes there's better coverage for one or the other in some area or newer tech but for most day-to-day use you can get a SIM from any carrier and expect to be able to use it any (non-network-locked) device.
What's more decentralized than being able to fork an open source blockchain solely on the basis of majority consensus? The hullabaloo over the DAO fork arises because decentralization is conflated with fairness. Was the fork fair? Maybe, maybe not. It's irrelevant to the question of whether Ethereum is decentralized. Ethereum prevailed over Ethereum Classic precisely because the majority of users switched to the fork! This would not have been possible if Ethereum wasn't decentralized. A centralized system would have left Ethereum users in the dust and the DAO hacker with all the loot.
Regarding Ethereum you’re right, it’s centralized.

With Bitcoin I run my node and check the incoming transactions with it whenever I make a big money transfer (for outgoing transactions a full node is not really needed, as I don’t care if the network doesn’t accept it as long as my counterparty does).

Running a Bitcoin node is practical (less than a day of running in the background on the first run) if the amount of money is significant.

You actually can't.

Like, you can make _arguments_ based on non-falsifiable points. But if the points aren't falsifiable, then there's nowhere for the discussion to go. How can I respond to them? What can I do to counter your arguments? Nothing. It's dull.
When I operated a small Cloud platform I discovered a small Malaysian company was using my servers to host their videos in lieu of securing their own, paid, hosting provider.

I tried to contact the operators of the sites that were embedding the content, as it was a clear violation of the TOS.

They never replied and I never took the videos down, partly because I was flattered and partly because of the work they had put into getting the videos up. It was probably a couple hundred GB worth of video. It took weeks for them to setup and dozens of accounts. Either they automated the process or they had some poor guy just uploading videos all day. I never found out.

My point is, I could easily have simply redirected that traffic to a page informing the visitor what was going on. I suspect that is probably what's going on here.

Sleep paralysis is scary. I haven't had it in 30 years, but I remember how shocking it was the first time. Curiously, in my case I also remember distinctly giving up and thinking "well alright, guess I'm going to die, wow" and being calm about it. Then the paralysis wore off.

That the authors of the paper included that statistic, based on the exact same data set you linked, without acknowledging that their own paper is arguing there is a massive disparity in wrongful conviction rates and thus FBI data set is, I believe, a benign mistake by the author.

We do not have a good understanding of the violence incidence rate amongst Black Americans (or any demographic). We do have a precise understanding of victimization across demographics.

But, even if you just assume that any wrongfully convicted Black American would be replaced by a different Black offender, you still have to deal with the disparity in wrongful convictions and its implications in terms of criminal justice and race.

That you managed to skim that paper and find the one already established statistic from the same flawed data set, without considering those implications is unsurprising.
Coins have different attributes and use cases. Who is to say who can make what. The best of the niche needed will win out, just like every other sector of all industries.

Some coins are pure Proof of Stake and try to solve scaling differently, see Algorand and Cardano.

There are altcoins that are just clones, referred to generally as shitcoins.

Source? I constantly see companies switching from the likes of python and javascript to compiled languages after they reach a certain scale.

I find Java to be extremely developer friendly, especially nowadays with features like pattern matching, records, switch expressions, and the upcoming project Loom

Modern frameworks like quarkus.io are also a step in that direction. You might also want to check out https://jodd.org/.
Cold War 2.0? The Global Economic Impact of Sanctions Against Russia
I really enjoy James Horner's soundtrack for "Apollo 13". I think this is partially because I got an edition that includes actual audio from the movie itself as part of the soundtrack, which helps to place the music in the context of the movie scene.

So, during the Saturn V lift-off, I get to hear the dramatic music, the dialogue from Mission Control and astronauts, and the roar of the rocket itself.

I still get goosebumps every time I play that piece of music on the soundtrack.
