> A broad base of at least some of stats, linear algebra

Stats is a non-starter without calculus. You'd just be doing the "ram a bunch of rules for derivation and integration into your head." method since first principles require calculus. Linear algebra is less reliant on calculus, but the fun stuff still requires calculus. I learned basic linear algebra in high school for what it's worth, just enough to solve systems of linear equations.
I would guess that would be commercial grade if he was involved in that business.

If your data changes, and you care about performance, then your data structures and algorithms should be reevaluated.
There are systems that are just what you want, and they come from... er, Analogue. Specifically the Analogue Super NT (FPGA SNES clone) and Mega SG (Genesis clone). They're a little pricey and they need original carts, but they come closer to the real thing than any software emulator I know of, with almost zero lag too.

> as a means to avoid locking 2FA to hardware

Tying 2FA to hardware is for most of the common use cases a bad idea. Instead always use TOTP and keep the seed in a secure storage with multiple backups.

If on top of that you like to keep it on your phone to generate the code that way, fine. But at that point you can destroy the phone and it doesn't matter, you'll still have access.

> While I don't like passwords and understand their very real security limitations.

When used correctly, password are a fairly great solution with fewer limitations than competing solutions. By properly I mean generate yourself 128 bits from /dev/random, never reuse and store securely.
> I'm not even sure what "selectively attack an enemy" means in this context.

It sounds like you are having cognitive dissonance. It seems to me that you have fixated on your definition of the context. In so doing, other perspectives aren't making sense to you. Having more flexibility might help you understand.
This technology seems inevitable. Do we really think foreign manufacturers will have qualms about developing armed (non-lethal or lethal) autonomous drones? China will have this deployed within a decade. It seems shortsighted for Axon's board to take this position.

Whether or not police should use such tooling, and in what circumstances it's appropriate, is a fair point for debate. I just don't believe that Axon refusing to develop the tech will ultimately prevent it from becoming available.
1Password supports mobile apps. Probably other password managers do too.
Ultrasound is usually a linear array of 256 or more transducers that can use timing information to direct an ultrasound signal in a range of directions. By moving the pulse origin left and right, and altering the direction, it is then possible to generate a 2d image of the area in contact with the probe.

It is possible to listen for echoes that are doppler shifted, to measure velocity of the bloodstream, for example. This information can be gathered in that same 2d image, to generate estimates of blood flow, and quite variety of other information without invasive procedures.
In just about any HN thread on Apple’s Intel-powered laptops, you’ll find plenty of actual users complaining about excessive fan noise and getting heat-soaked under load - compilation and video calls being a big one - with the problem being greater for the higher-powered i7 and particularly i9 machines. We were definitely complaining.
I use vim + goyo + github(for private repos) + vim-you-autocorrect it delivers great performance with reading everywhere versioning, tags (I use [] to add tags) and I use ag and great to search.

I think it is very challenging to get this good on an app, and I try to use other apps with no success multiple times. Vim wins year after year
They've had a project for the last year or so to do away with their Goldman Sachs integrations that they currently use for their Apple Card offering so it is pretty clear they are hungry for that financing revenue. They are in a decent position to do it but their linguistic neologisms of "no fees" will certainly bite them in the future.
It is telling that this is a reprint of an essay by a mathematics professor.

Of course they think their work has no real world application. It'll take two or three generations worth of dumbing it down before us mortals can turn it into a nice computer vision algorithm or something like that.

The point is to make it harder to export your credentials to another platform. An iOS refugee with a keychain full of passkeys will have to do a password reset for every account, instead of a relatively simple export/import into a third-party password manager.
If you’re looking to avoid telemetry, Mac OS is not the alternative.
French Revolution came up with some wild shit and some truly excellent ideas. That’s a season of change for ya… high variance.
M1 Air (especially) has been having screen issues too, including tinting; I've personally witnessed it. I think HP did become really bad around 2012, but they've really picked up their game lately. I've seen some great HP laptops, but you don't need to go with HP. There are even cheaper laptops that are slightly less powerful but still great for what they are capable of.
A lot of the metrics for outage impact are available, and if you really want to Do Science you can use whatever A/B Canary/experiment framework you have to simulate outages (which, arguably, are not perfect because of down-detectors) on users to understand their behavior.

I tend to agree that most people don't care about transient downtime beyond 2 or 3 nines for reputation. Covid has proven how bad people are at reasoning about 0.5% probabilities so there's essentially no chance that they are noticing (en mass) the difference between 2.5 or 3 nines of reliability. Know your customer, as the article points out; more complex customers will know and measure actual availability because they need it for their own reliability calculations.

This brings me to my final guess, that SLOs are primarily useful because they provide a risk model that upstream and downstream consumers can reason about. SLOs are a way of building even larger distributed and interdependent systems that can still be somewhat reliable. Precisely what SLIs are chosen and the limits are a little less important than the fact that they are published publicly. There's an economy of reliability in large systems and like any market information about the market is key to its efficiency. If everyone just trusted that everyone was doing their best at maintaining dependencies most of those beliefs would be very unanchored.

A side benefit of SLOs is postmortems and communication; people working on codependent products and systems need to talk to each other from time to time and understand the true nature of the interfaces between their systems. Postmortems and SLO negotiations give a concrete framework to do that within, metrics drive quantitative understanding of the systems instead of handwaving.
Well yeah - getting that extra 16gb to the CPU from your SSD would take you around 4.5 seconds, versus 250 milli from RAM. Not to mention random access latency, nanos vs mics.
Sorry, I was thinking about the author’s statement about specificity… if you want to improve your racquetball game, don’t practice squash. And my own experience studying economics and computer science. The math I was required to take (2 semesters calculus, 1 statistics, and 1 discrete math) was in support of the task I was trying to accomplish (basic competence in those subjects). None at a level I would have considered “advanced” beyond the scope of my degree. Friends that studied history or philosophy did even less math than that - many didn’t take any in college (after testing out based on AP exams or similar).
For this, I recommend working through the simulation "game" NAND2Tetris, where you work from the basic building blocks up to an simulated CPU, and onward to programming a game of Tetris.

I was in Chemistry class when the professor explained how using standard stoichiometric formulae, a transistor worked.... I was gob-smacked... and can NOT find a good equivalent to that using google right now.
if they're all wash sales, how did i sell 180 eth worth? they would ignore my listings, yes?
I suspect Stage Manager was originally intended as a Dock replacement for both iPadOS and macOS, but because it's M1-dependent they can't pull the trigger on making it the default on Macs until all the old machines have officially aged out enough to stop receiving updates.

I'd say the Riemann hypothesis is more famous. Goldbach's conjecture didn't make the Milennium Prize Problems list, and Perleman's refusal of the award for his proof of the Poincaré conjecture popularized that list quite widely.
And it's not only in the US. Aren't Bolsanaro, Viktor Orban and maybe even Erdogan similar?

You are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct, but I think it misses the mark when it comes to reality.

In reality, I think a vast amount of double counting occurs.

That said, the point that I was trying to get across was the decoupling of GDP from what most people would consider material well being.

This mostly revolves around the growing proportion of GDPs being made up by finance and services. [think widget backed financial instruments, widget insurance, widget services, ect]
How do you know what is "one good article" and what isn't until you actually read it?

There is already an increasing problem with clickbait as sites have to fight for eyeballs to get ad revenue. Making online journalism microtransaction based will completely kill whatever is left of the industry.

The PWA install rate on iOS is abysmal for this reason.
My top 20 school had us take 4 semesters of calculus and 2 other math department classes for a cs degree. The econ major only required one semester of calculus. The upper level micro classes ended up being funny because they spent a considerable amount of time teaching multivariable calculus since taking derivatives is 90% of microeconomics. They even spent multiple classes proving lagrange multipliers without ever referring to them by name.

Shrug. You're failing to use your intellect to read the whole definition you just copypastad and see how it might relate to what the commenter said: we're often putting primacy on achievement in mathematics as a gate blocking all the other intellectual pursuits mentioned. Not to mention the bias engineering disciplines seem to have, specifically against art and literature as can be witnessed half the time these topics come on this very forum.

The real magic of Google maps is that while you're using it, they're aggregating your position with others to make a real time map of traffic, and then aggregating that over time for future predictions as well.

Google maps gets better at predicting traffic as more people use it. This is generally true across mapping services.
I think some Intel / AMD options are pretty similar. However, their performance per Watt is inferior which makes it tricky to come up with nice silent machines.
You could see the shift to a four-day week as increasing aggregate demand while decreasing aggregate supply. Prima facie it might seem like fewer hours worked = lower total output = lower GDP, but the macro-economy is a complex system with many endogenous variables (inflation, foreign exchange, debt levels, etc), and the interactions between which can be quite subtle. A lot of schools of economics might put together an argument that this could increase GDP, rather than decrease it. To my mind it seems to increase quality of life which is a more relevant metric than GDP anyhow.
Funny you say that, we were just talking about it:

"iOS sends the MAC addresses of nearby devices, e.g. other handsets and the home gateway, to Apple together with their GPS location. Users have no opt out from this and currently there are few, if any, realistic options for preventing this data sharing."

If you think Apple is somehow not abusing their position of power, that's just foolish. Apple is definitely one of the more evil (if not the most) companies out there.

Now they are getting into cars, tracking your Speed, your Location, How you Drive your car. And you are worried about your Windows sending telemetry about what you click on the start menu lol? Really that's your concern?

There has to be a backup display that is not iOS (Apple - whatever). Cars last 10 or more years. Will Apple support this for at least that long? Also, in 10 years is any who doesn't own an Apple device going to be able to buy and drive a used car with this?
You keep on assuming your conclusion and name calling and acting like you’ve made an argument.

I’m sure the author has a high opinion of mathematics as an intellectual pursuit. He is a Math professor. That’s separate from his argument, that it has very limited practical use, even to most engineers and others you would assume would be highly selected for finding it useful.

If Mathematics was enormously useful for teaching argument and precise thought in a reliable way Economics would have eaten all the other social sciences already. Economists know far more Math than the others. Math is uncommonly useful but if it was that good at teaching people how to think, if the transfer of learning argument was true, it would not need to be argued. It b would be bloody obvious.
I'm not as optimistic as you about the technical capabilities of OEMs and Tier 1s at designing good silicon and software. They're monstrously good at producing millions of thingsthat will survive the most horrendous conditions imaginable at surprisingly economical prices, but terrible at modern electronics and software. That inability keeps me employed, so slight bias here.

As for simply using extended range components, Tesla actually did that for several years of the Model S infotainment system. Turned out that wasn't enough and the components started failing after a couple years [1].

I find this most interesting. I feel Apple went to Intel chips originally to be able to offer users the best of both worlds: both Windows and OS X. Naturally Bootcamp came along to bring that functionality. Now that Apple is back to a RISC chip, what is stopping them from offering a RISC version of Bootcamp? Windows runs on ARM chips, as do many distributions of Linux, so why not officially offer the ability to run alternate OSes?
Point0. Learning without any memorization… I’m not sure if that is possible. One must hold several concepts inside the head to learn new ones.

Point1. Education system which would strive for bear minimum outcome would be something like “not everybody needs addition, cashiers can take care of that”. (You will cut calculus, somebody else will cut multiplication table)

Point2. which iq range education system is optimised for? (Fair discission; though hard politically). Gifted people are random in population. If you teach and test only the bare minimum content, which 99.9% of population passes with flying colors, then gifted are undertrained and also harder to spot, thus under-utilised.

Point3. Memorization is useful. Even if one understands the concept deeply, the “cheat sheet” inside the head (i.e. memorised info) makes things much much faster. Memorization is abit like muscle-memory and or caching.
No useful technology can be kept under the radar. In fact I think ad blocking is a good example of something that got so widespread that it became impossible to block. The "disable your adblocker to read this site" banners are quickly disappearing from the internet now that a critical mass of users has adopted them and companies are realizing they can't give up all that traffic.
"Opening it with a dremel" is a completely different class of attacks from "opening it without leaving a trace".

bypass paywall clean is excellent. And you can use it on your phone, at least if you have the relative freedom of Android. You need firefox nightly, which allows any extension to be added; other versions of Firefox limit add-ons to a curated list. There are other builds of Firefox for Android that allow any add-on, but Firefox Nightly is an easy install from the Play Store.

Then you need to make a personal collection of addons at the firefox addon site, link firefox nightly to your Add-On collection, and as long as you added bypass paywall clean (custom) to your collection, you're off the races. The "custom" version of the add-on has a simplified UI with better defaults for a mobile phone. This is not a tutorial, but it's not too hard to get this addon working on Android. Firefox nightly despite the name is stable on my Pixel 6 pro.

This has greatly improved my browsing experience on my phone.

Evidence ? Pretty extraordinary claim to make.
Few people use poetry, Greek philosophy, or history in their jobs either. We teach students mathematics in order to acquaint them with the civilization of which they are a part. Good teachers try to get them to appreciate the beauty and grandness of this bedrock of human culture as part of the process of transforming them into people.

Who cares if they never “use” calculus in their dreary jobs. The don’t “use” Shakespeare either.

And who are these “engineers” who don’t use math, but just plug numbers into Excel? I am afraid of China. I’ve met many of their engineers and scientists, and they sure as hell know math.

Maybe. I surely can't be the only one that avoids otherwise interesting articles because of a clickbait title? I know if I click it, it's likely to be BS, and I'm likely to get more of them because wherever I'm reading it goes "Ah-hah!"
The idea that Safari is anywhere near what IE was is ludicrous. If anything, Chrome is the new IE because Google forces through its own features and expects the rest of the internet to make them standards.

You mentioned VSCode: I was surprised at how well the GitHub Codepilot plugin works with Common Lisp code - not as well as with Python or JavaScript, but pretty good. Check it out.
While it didn't have as much of an impact in the west, I do think there's a lot more interesting content for the CD-ROM² add-on for the PC Engine. I sometimes wonder if the Sega CD's library would be more fondly-remembered if FMVs weren't as forefront and the extra technical abilities were more tastefully applied.

This time is different because none of the coins on the list have the effective potential of ETH (again, not for debate).

ETC has a 6.5 day deposit time on exchanges, which makes it pretty hard to mine as small miners won't want to wait to get paid. This should come down as the hashrate (and security of the network) increases, however... without much network use (aka: utility)... the only thing to do with it will be to mine and dump.

Thus, the price of all the alts will drop, profitability will go down and cards will turn off. I'm already seeing signs of people turning off their cards in the GPU Miners forums...

We saw a preview of this behavior when Grin came out...
I wonder how litigious Master Lock would be here. Even if they don't have a legal leg to stand on, a legal action for the sake of intimidation could still occur.

If you do a compare against the original M1 MacBook Air, they don't say anything about the network is different. It just says "802.11ax Wi-Fi 6". Same for the MacBook Pro M2.

So I'm guessing it's the same as the M1 MacBook Air.

I think the comparison works in terms of percentages, but falls apart because the Europeans were not unified. Something like 3 or four great powers colonized America vs a single ethnic group for the Mongols (even if they did fight with each other)
I've read all the arguments pro-notch, that you won't notice, and that it doesn't take up screen real estate, and so on. But still, the design compromise bothers me; hiding a camera such that the aesthetic geometry isn't distorted feels wrong and fake, and something not here to stay for long, just as you say. Why not implement a mechanical flip-out camera holder? Helps with perceived big brother effect, too.

Btw, is the mandatory touch bar thingy back? That would be a step back in my book.
"only" an order of magnitude.

Never mind comparing bleeding edge NVMe with (by now) decade-old DDR3, while the current bleeding edge DDR5 is now trickling out at 100GB/s+ pretty easily.

Never mind DDR memory latencies of ~50ns, vs NVMe at 50uS+.

Just because the user doesn't notice GUI problems doesn't mean it's not going to be a catastrophic bottleneck in any memory-intensive application.
Are you using the Python 2, or the newer Python 3 version?
For 25 cents, I don't think I'd care.

If I get burned on five articles at 25 cents each, I'll probably stop reading their stuff though. And that might actually provide a usable metric to their editors.
I hope 1password gets annihilated by this move. I really liked what they built but over the past few years they have been very user hostile to ensure their extensions fail the Chrome binary signature. When you build a product that people start relying on it's very much of a dick move to go out of your way and make them not work anymore in hopes that they start dishing out a monthly subscription fee. Imagine if Gmail started charging money to read your email.
