I think it's not just about the iPhone, it's about the ecosystem. iPhone, iPad, airpods/pro/max, airtags, apple watch, macbooks / handover. Even things like Apple Music and Apple TV and Apple News synced across devices (which I don't use).

I thought airpods pro were overpriced and not worth it until I got a pair. Coincidentally, I never stuck with using wireless headphones until I got a pair of airpods pro. They make a bunch of the annoying things around wireless just go away. That's what Apple does well.

If you buy into the whole ecosystem you get a lot of convenience features that are hard to recreate piece-meal (and certainly there are network benefits - i.e. Airdrop, iMessage).
Driverless cars aren't anywhere near being able to prevent DUIs on a statistically meaningful scale. If lives are what you care about you'd be better off having the government subsidize uber rides.
I feel that what technology has changed is that we have something to do that is in actuality nothing. Watching Youtube, browsing news or reading HN and posting some comments really are for me doing nothing... Not that you couldn't do something in there, but I think many of the ways we spend time is doing nothing.

We just have something to do while we do nothing. Back in time we did not.
That's OK, they'll refer back to posts like this if[1] they get burned once or twice. I think its the sort of thing most have to experience themselves before they believe it rather than accepting it's true up front.

You are within a certain period of time, not ‘instantly’ (depending on the exact situation you are referring to). The script could take that into account (using a shorter period of time or the like)
I couldn't agree with this more. Even beyond the web audio API, we have similar graph APIs in the low level/native C++ world that become unmanageable in their complexity simply due to an inability to compose and manage transitions with ease.

This is exactly one of the difficulties that Elementary aims to address, whether you're running in the browser (where indeed, Elementary uses almost none of the actual web audio api), or natively.

Thank you for this! I have been raised in and appreciate a Machiavellian approach to society, especially upwards mobility.

I have no sympathy for workplace advice that attempts to coddle someone who cannot psychologically operate in a world told more truthfully. “Mercenary” advice works in this environment, being more like a mercenary, a “sell sword”, is a pragmatic approach than being gaslit by the company’s “were a team” chant. This is why Netflix’s older culture document resonated with so many people, its appealing! Intruiging! Truthful! Refreshing!

Many of us can psychologically operate in a world so unforgiving and its a more effective tool for improving financial and healthcare stability, whether that includes an employer or [eventually] doesnt.

There are selective pressures towards people that can perceive reality accurately and use it to their advantage. another population relies on not perceiving reality at all to maintain a view that makes them happy enough to tolerate the mundane, and another population perceives reality accurately and it exacerbates chemical imbalances in their mind such that their chronic depression keeps them useless to society, which by definition means selective pressures against those traits.
No 100% certain way, I think, but you can see that there are deployment scripts in place and are actively being touched. Combine that with what the cost of doing that while instead using an alternative method would be, and the way Mozilla is organised, and you can be pretty confident that it is, IMHO. But here, too, it still holds that that does not give the same level of assurances as self-hosting.
I was developing some architecture training recently and had this very same question. It’s not easy to find realistic architectures.

The best I found was the German contact tracing app — Corona Warn App. It was done by a group of consultancies in collaboration with the German govt, and went from inception to launch in around fifty days — largely if not totally open source.

Here’s the repo that has all the architecture in: https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-documentation

It’s got full git history so you can see it evolve over time, along with the implementations (also on Github).

There’s a pretty fascinating short talk by one of the people who led the project on youtube too — more about the process side though: https://youtu.be/5y1sHSkPWRg?t=1770
It seems incredibly lazy to flatten all the various forms and scales of disasters into a single layer of "problems".

Climate change is incomparable to many of the so-called "problems" you may point to.

For some clarification, I did mean more in terms of EVs manufactured starting around today (next 10-15 years) more than those manufactured as of today.
Because we’ve massively overinvested as a society in trivial meta navel-gazing like The Atlantic, and massive underinvested in technically knowledgeable conversation, teaching, and execution.
The “Bloomberg” in the title made me initially think that Michael Bloomberg himself had become a booster for psychedelics.
That’s right. Bosses love it so it’s not going to change until workers force it to.
Yup, that's how I read it too. :) Was just wondering what a comprehensive counter-argument would look like.

If there is one, that is.

You should help out with the gaps in the media stack! That is the only way it will get better :) I don't believe echo cancellation is a hard problem either. I don't know the specific details, but I have heard this argument so many times.

People told me that unless you were a developer at a big company you can't build DTLS, SCTP and RTP Congestion Control either. Maybe the community implementations aren't as good yet, but I think it is a tortoise vs hare.

Yes, but they became illegal in 1971, before researchers had a chance to further explore the action of psychedelics.
That lack of immediate ambition is exactly the problem and why I don't think they'll make it. You either go all in on something like this or you might as well not play.
"thereby maintaining high capacity for when it's needed."

How so? We're talking about acres not farmers. Small farms can go under and larger farms will take over working the land. We saw that in the 80s. The land being conserved is generally lower capacity anyways (they aren't going enroll the high producing acres).

So it might not contradict in theory, but the evidence from the current situation seems to support that the capacity is not valued and only the price control reason is. Is there any support for the idea that it's about having reserve capacity to utilize? Has it ever been utilized?
As someone who is impacted, this is obviously immensely frustrating.

Worse, outside of "we have rebuilt functionality for over 35% of the users", I haven't seen any reports from the people who have ostensibly been recovered.

Next, their published RTO is 6 hours, so obviously they must have done something that completely demolished their ability to use their standard recovery methods: https://www.atlassian.com/trust/security/data-management

Finally, there have been some hints that this is related to the decommissioning of a plugin product Atlassian recently acquired (Insight asset management) which is only really useful to large organizations. I suspect that the "0.18% impacted" number is relative to ALL users of Atlassian, including free/limited accounts, and that the percentage of large/serious organizations who are impacted (and who would have a use for an asset management product), is much higher.
I was about to complain the misuse of headers and the bad choice of not using an X-* header... then I discovered RFC 6648 [0].

Wow.

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. Yes, I think on that you're probably right. See what they did to Gallileo, after all (and maybe also Giordano Bruno, though that's not clear).

Hmm, now I think about it. Can't say about baking, but with cooking is there some sub-section of food that might actually be more cost effective to cook yourself? Let's say good quality steak. The markups in restaurants are substantial and time commitment for cooking might not be too big...
It will be done in Mexico. They have the young demographics and over the past five years, more and more manufacturing has been moving because of high Chinese labor costs.
As appears in Debt by David Graeber [0]:

Missionary: Look at you! You’re just wasting your life away, lying around like that.

Samoan: Why? What do you think I should be doing?

Missionary: Well, there are plenty of coconuts all around here. Why not dry some copra and sell it?

Samoan: And why would I want to do that?

Missionary: You could make a lot of money. And with the money you make, you could get a drying machine, and dry copra faster, and make even more money.

Samoan: Okay. And why would I want to do that?

Missionary: Well, you’d be rich. You could buy land, plant more trees, expand operations. At that point, you wouldn’t even have to do the physical work anymore, you could just hire a bunch of other people to do it for you.

Samoan: Okay. And why would I want to do that?

Missionary: Well, eventually, with all that copra, land, machines, employees, with all that money—you could retire a very rich man. And then you wouldn’t have to do anything. You could just lie on the beach all day.

HMAC are symmetric signatures, which means that anyone who can check the signature can also poison the cache (so pushing only from the CI are reading/checking on the dev machines would not be possible)
These remind me of an interview where the interviewer asked if I was familiar with pseudo-random generators, I told him well there isn't technically a way to generate a truly random numbers so all of the algorithms people use are PRNGs (MT, PCG, etc.). He seemed confused and disregarded my answer and then went on to describe how the Sobol sequence worked. That's when it clicked for me so I went "Ah you mean Quasi-random!" And he was like "Quasi, Pseudo it's the same, these sequences are not truly random"...
The list is probably ignoring

Fun aside, I think -h/--help is nowadays the most widespread and accepted version in Linux/Unix-Land. A good CLI argument parser accepts both variants.
> The few that won't are not worth your time anyway.

It's fine to decide this for yourself, but it's a different thing to isolate your kids. It's hard for a lot of them to connect with peers and where you dad has surveillance capitalism paranoia that won't help.
When a cat is in free fall, that is weightlessness. At least initially, until air resistance starts limiting the velocity.

In zero-g, you do not directly sense in which way gravity is pointing.

Probably, under the conventional free fall situation, the cat is relying on visual clues, and the sensation of air moving through its fur, to establish which way it is falling, as the basis for the righting reflex: which way to aim the paws. Those clues are absent in the simulated zero-g environment, which feels like free fall, but the cat doesn't see any relative movement to anything, or feel any air movement.
Whoever championed (CIO?) and executed that e-commerce deserves an award. Serious. I work with a bunch of middle market manufacturers and distributors and doing e-commerce is HARD for them. I use that site as a reference on "how to do it right", every. single. time.

As this area was gaining legitimacy in the late 70s, Reagan and the War on Drugs happened, which made legally obtaining the substances difficult, and research funding dried out.
All good points of course, and the more honest service providers will tell you the same. In Pinboard's case, the author has regularly joked about being hit by a bus, and how people need to back up their links. He's also got an API in place to enable exactly that.

You could use the same API as a model to reinvent your own personal service, if you so choose. I use it (for now) to just back up everything important, and I'll figure out what to do with the data later if I ever need to.
I'd love to take a language model, load it up, and train it on everything I write in online learning mode. Does one need some massive hardware to do online learning with these models instead of just running the distilled final models?
"This is a valuable insight for everyone who claims that Ukraine is a democratic state."

First.

I think my words matter very little. What matters is the unquestionable sacrifice, dedication and love the Ukrainians are showing to their country.

This war is a war of genocide and as such an unspeakable, heinous act.

Secondly.

Nonsense. Who else would control Ukraine except Ukrainians themselves?

Please read the Wikipedia link on Maidan above.

Ukrainians are proving with their blood and dedication they wish to be a single democratic people aligned with the west.

Ukraine was turning to an authoritarian dictatorship strongly aligned with Kremlin at the cost of civil society and political rights of her citizens.

Maidan was a color revolution expressing the outrage of people who wanted to be politically aligned with the west, not with Russia.

The opposition leaders were jailed (much like Navalny now in Russia).

The EU trade agreement was depending on structural changes, among them the release of the political opposition.

Yes, it was part of political struggle.

It was a part of struggle of open society versus autocracy.

Much like the war in Ukraine continues to be.
The origin of the tie between US employment and healthcare was during the Second World War when wage controls were put into place. Employers competed for workers by adding benefits packages, which later became ossified and further entrenched with exemptions in the tax code.
I'd imagine this is about curbing drug trafficking more than anything.
Back in my party days, I had quite a few friends that would use Amtrak to move their weight across state lines.

I can see why this would be lucrative now a days. Go to a state with cheap recreational marijuana, and then take a train back to a state that is still illegal. You could easily double what you put into it.
What precedent exists to make you think that big finance will "bring accountability" to anything that they themselves are completely unaccountable for?

It is trivial to identify many examples where they are neck-deep in investments that run counter to the stated goals of environmental movements. Oil investments are a very simple example, but so is the continued financial support for companies which dump toxic waste into public lands. If there is no accountability now, how the hell will there be more accountability when they get even more fingers in more pies?

Investment relies on a simple idea: that the investment returns more money than you put in. Which part of what you've described makes that expectation compatible with solutions to the climate crisis?
Yeah! Nigeria is trying to move everyone to their own digital currency, but Statista did a survey and 32% of Nigerians were using Bitcoin for general payments. Quick look for some supporting info came up with this - https://www.reuters.com/business/crypto-trading-thrives-nige... but there's a lot more online if you look (from non-Crypto peddling sources).

Also, take a look at the current forms of payment like M-Pesa (such as https://docs.gatesfoundation.org/Documents/ImpactofMobileMon...) and you'll see a few of the problems such as high fees on remittance payments and lack of account building are solved with cryptocurrencies.

> to bolster its defense against NATO, Russia's largest threat

The idea of NATO attacking Russia is bonkers. They're barely moving to defend Ukraine. "NATO is a threat" is post hoc rationalization for Russia's own revanchist behavior; even the Russian propagandists who push it don't take it seriously.

I think the main concern here is that it isn't that the language is too permissive -- but that the primary installer (and what many people cite as one of the greatest strengths of JS, largely responsible for ushering in its Golden Age) -- is structurally (and perhaps irreparably) insecure.

Whether this is really so (and in a significant way compared to its other competitors, out in dynamic programming land) -- is what people seem to be trying to suss out in this thread.

Sanctions largely punish the people, not the government, and we implement them anyways.

There's ways to feedback, even if they aren't petitioning the government for redress of grievances. The US infamously has a saying about four boxes of liberty: "Soap box, ballot box, jury box, ..." Given the first three are non-functional, there remains the fourth.
Complaining is worthless, if you're staying.

Businesses understand a hit to the bottom line, not some abstract strike manifest. So exodus is exactly the most efficient way of voicing your opinion to a profit seeking operation
Yes but you transmit the website password, so it’s possible for an attacker to gain access to that website through a data leak or through brute force, without gaining access to your password manager. Sure, they could do the same if they got hold of your TOTP secret, but that’s never transmitted (except at setup).
If you are publicly traded and don't have leverage (e.g. different share classes with different voting rights for the founders) it's a straighforward call to make. Optimize for short term profits or be replaced by someone who will do.
I work in Agtech and this is not exactly true. At least not true in terms of big farms. They always work at capacity, in fact one of the reasons Covid hit agriculture supply chains so hard is that they had no extra capacity.
"When we reach a situation where some unknown person pushes an upstream update, which causes a cascade of problems that even someone with deep technical knowledge and daily connection to the project cannot unpick, that's a breakdown in modularity/dependency."

Agreed. I believe that the "UNIX philosophy" is a good strategy for avoiding these scenarios and I believe it is underappreciated - even by architects and designers that should know better.

Forgive me for injecting this word but this is why I recoil so violently from systemd and all of its accoutrements. I can sense how this is going to fail even if I can't clearly elucidate it just yet ...
> It's clear that these models have orders of magnitude too much data already.

I have a toy disproof for your claim that this is clear.

Imagine that you are training a ML system using oracle access to Mum. The ML training system can request 10 million representative samples of Mum output, and then we could judge if the ML system has adequately reproduced Mum.

Now also imagine that Mum frequently tells people that Mum knows a 23 letter secret and while mum won't tell people what is outright, she'll answer queries like if a guess is lexographically higher or lower. We could even imagine that the ML has seen Mum's side of some interactions with her doing that.

Would the ML know Mum's secret? No.

Would a child that could interact with Mum? Yes-- after at most ceil(log_alphabet(23)) queries at most, if the child is efficient.

Learning in an interactive context is not the same as learning from written material, so you can't be sure that the fact that children learn english from less text means that a non-interactive ML system could english from the same amount. Q.E.D.

Now, if someone figures out how to efficiently train these natural language models with reinforcement learning...
I think it’s more likely that Elon wants to keep his options open. As a board member he would have a fiduciary duty’s that would prevent him from doing certain things. Most notably, it would keep him from purchasing more shares and orchestrating a hostile takeover by way of taking a majority stake in Twitter.

It depends on what would happen to the biowaste otherwise. Probably if the waste isn't turned into fuel, it will just rot and release the carbon anyways. In that case, it wouldn't make sense to tax the fuel. It only makes sense if the carbon would otherwise be safely stored and kept from going into the atmosphere.
Checking in at 33 in the same boat. I still feel like I have juice in these legs to hit it hard hands-on-keyboard for another decade or two--but I keep getting pushed into a position where I manage/architect-for ~12 devs and growing.

You wouldn't hire Elon Musk to turn anything into PayPal, as he wasn't a founder nor truly even an employee or executive of PayPal. Musk joined PayPal via merger with his fledgling X.com online bank. It was Confinity's PayPal product that continued from the merger, not Musk's X.com product. Musk was appointed CEO of the combined business, but contributed nothing of note to it. He was only there for a few months before the board ousted him from the company, while on vacation: his regular absence from the job was one of the reasons. The other was that his contribution to the engineering direction of the company amounted to "let's stop working on the business, and instead rewrite the platform on .NET to run on Windows servers", which the organization found so preposterous they circulated a petition to the board among the engineers to have Musk removed. The board did so.
That's great on paper but how do I actually use it? If I want to play back a wavetable you have el.table() but it's missing the oversampling and decimation tools required for antialiasing. The el.lowpass() is a biquad which is not suited well for modulation. How can this compete with JUCE when the documentation and features are so sparse?
