Isn't this approach significantly less secure than Apple's though? As far as I understand the secure enclave coprocessor in Apple devices stores key material and implements user verification (TouchID etc.), right? Instead software like tpm-fido bridges (in software) a user verification mechanism (maybe even a fingerprint reader) and the system's TPM. But such a system can be interposed with mere root access, and the TPM tricked in giving out its secrets, no? Please correct me if I'm getting it wrong, but Apple's approach is instead resistant even to full kernel compromise, precisely because the communication between TouchID/FaceID and the secure enclave cannot be interposed.

I'm a tpm-fido user myself by the way, thank you psanford!
> It's a waste of resources and society's investments to pay doctors and lawyers to quit and instead be paid to be full time takers.

I think you should examine this statement a little more. If the time of economically successful people is too valuable to "waste" on childcare, what you are saying is that either economically successful people should not have children (with the obvious corollary being that only economically unsuccessful people should have children), or economically successful people should not spend time raising their children (meaning they should foist their children into the care of economically unsuccessful people instead). I hope you can see the clear issue with the former, and while the latter is pretty much status quo it has big issues as well.

If the children of doctors and lawyers do better when their parents care for them instead of other people, and become doctors and lawyers too, then society didn't lose after all. Childcare is an investment in the future, not pure waste to be avoided.

I don't think society should pay doctors and lawyers their regular hourly rate for childcare for 18 years per child. But I do think that parenthood deserves to be subsidized, and more than it is now, even for economically successful people, up to the point where the fertility rate stabilizes at the replacement rate.
Yeah I didn't ask if capitalism is a hierarchy, that's obvious. The claim is that it's a pyramid scheme which is an unrelated claim.
The richest country on earth AND the richest country in human history. And yet we have children without enough food.
Another pretty brutal failure on Apple’s part. There’s literally no excuse for this beyond greed. Multi user support is a base level OS feature.

My intuition is that life was formed using amino acids because they are common substances that occur naturally where liquid water is around.

The 13" MacBook Pro is so strange.

It is identical to the M2 MacBook Air, except:

- Worse camera: 720p camera where the Air has a 1080p camera

- Worse speakers: stereo speakers where the Air has four-speakers (I'm assuming stereo is 2-speakers?)

- Bigger battery: 58.2 WHr vs 52.6 WHr (about a 2hr battery life difference)

- Slightly heavier: +0.3 lbs over the Air

- Slightly smaller screen: 13.3" vs the Air's 13.6", although this is probably due to the notch

- Has the touchbar

They are priced the same from what I can tell.
Maybe the line to draw is autonomy?

If you're after a mass shooter, today anyway, that would be an ROV activity: a human pilot flying it could distinguish cops, perps, and vics and fire one taser.

If you ask for autonomy, then you're leaping into Slaughterbot territory (see link below someone already posted) and you might have thousands of them in a theater of operations.
If this removes the whitelisting requirement, that would be awesome—but I’m very much not holding my breath. My pessimistic guess would be nothing else changes, just a bit of extra fiction.
Ethereum will someday (let's not argue on the timing) move to PoS. This will render tens of millions of GPUs idle.

> My question is around stopping an active shooter once it’s happening

This is like treating the symptoms, not the disease. Cops should be sufficient for stopping an active shooter, and if they are not then that's their failure. It's society's failure to let it get to that point in the first place.
The password stored in your backup via iCloud Keychain use the passcode of your devices as a secondary encryption/lock method, which doesn’t have a password recovery mechanism like the Apple ID used to secure your iCloud backup. Not sure that meets the definition of E2EE but it’s not like the passwords are recoverable by another party (or even you, if you forget the passcode) just because they’re in your iCloud backup.
I don't see why it has to be thought of this way. It's not a bad way to simplify things, but I don't think it's necessarily the only / main econometrics perspective.

Why could a 4 day week result in similar / higher GDP? (not saying it WILL, just pointing out how it COULD)

+ A big chunk of the jobs are white collar / don't require you to physically be somewhere. If you're a security guard (and you're there mostly for deterrence reasons), then your productivity won't likely change much. Say you get a white collar worker that has a burnout, you'll be producing 10% of your potential. If that extra day of rest prevents the burnout you get x10 for that person. In less dramatic fashion, someone more energized and happy can easily increase productivity by 25% (at least in many of the white collar jobs I'm familiar with)
+ Network / dynamic effects. Some people won't be more productive, but they might spend the extra day off building something new / learning something new. Even if it's just, say 1/20 that do that, that might offset some of the decreased time working
In programming, you're doing math whenever you convince yourself that a rewritten piece of code means the same thing as the original (by thinking about it, rather than just running it).

>in almost all test cases

Common sense suggests that "visually lossless" means no detectable difference by the naked eye ever, not in "almost all test cases". MP3 is a very old codec, and it's possible that there are still some "killer samples" that can be ABXed by skilled listeners with good equipment even when encoded by a modern version of LAME. A better example of something that could reasonably called "audibly lossless" might be something like Opus at 160kbps, for which I've seen no evidence of any successful ABX. But even that is is usually called "transparent", not "audibly lossless", so not only is "visually lossless" a lie, the name itself is propaganda.
Ding ding ding!!!

This.

There are two fundamental problems in mass communication. One is easy, the second is hard.

The easy one is transmission at scale. That is, how does one voice reach many. The forum, the printing press, radio, and television all address this problem.

The hard one is feedback at scale.

There's a profound truth hidden in the adoption of the term "broadcast" to describe radio and television, adopted from agriculture, in which a farmer cast seed grain broadly, and, after some cultivation and tending, harvests the result. The fact that this applies most especially to staple grain crops, in which the key to harvesting is to not treat each individual plant as its own special snowflake. For broadcast media, the harvesting mechanism eventually turned out to be advertising.

It's also interesting to see how scaling feedback has been an ongoing problem with the tech sector. It's easy for a small team to create a tool used by millions or billions of people. It's hard to assimilate feedback from that community in ways that truly add to the value of the product. Mechanisms such as A/B testing often cannibalise long-term value to provide a very short-term, small-scale boost.

In live-lecture formats, I find Q&A sessions to be hugely variable. The best seem to come from small and cultivated audiences, most especially where questions are submitted (usually in writing) and selected for presentation. The worst are both general audiences (questions seem to reflect shallow familiarity with the topic), or `cultivated but politicised groups, in which questions are far more often grandstanding performance art presentations.

Wikipedia's article on scholasticism has a description of the lecture format used at the time, which has long struck me as one that would be interesting (and challenging) to implement in an onlyline sense:

- Lectio: the reading to be considered.

- Meditatio: a time for contemplating what was read.

- Questiones: a discussion of written submitted questions, with controvertial questions being addressed in Disputationes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scholasticism#Scholastic_instr...

These were probably sessions with a small group of ~10--15 students, roughly the size of a modern college seminar. Intimacy and familiarity seem key to this, and are the precise opposite of scaling.
I think the author had purely calculus in mind. Discrete mathematics is indeed crucial to understand computer science. Statistics are very important too, especially in our post-fact world, to be able to call out obvious bull**** when you see it.
Range is kind of a niche book I'm not sure it represents the consensus yet.

I think it depends greatly on what instructions are being used (sse, avx, etc vs neon). Some benches I’ve seen boast rosetta2 is only 30% hit but that’s doubtful to me based on my own experience running factorio =)
“Drones to stop mass shooters”.

Stop having mass shooters !
Sure, but sometimes you have to treat symptoms. If an active shooter does happen to come to a school they need to be neutralized way faster, not an hour

> No, this is pretty obviously deliberate on their part.

I'm not so sure about that. Because 1) this phenomenon seems to be present on non-political topics, and 2) other, even more right-wing figures are still easily findable on Google (including links to their own websites). That raises the question, why this guy and not the others? Heck, it not even this guy, just this term, since the blog in question is the fourth result for "steve sailer" and even autocompletes.

I think it's a very reasonable theory that the same phenomenon as I found with "fallout shelter," is at play here but the difference is your "iSteve" blog doesn't have the relative popularity to peek through even a little bit over the pop culture thing (v.s. fallout shelters, which is a topic with a significant popularity, even if it's far less popular than the video game).

> Meanwhile, Yandex, DDG, and even (I checked just now) Bing all have results for it on the first page when you search "isteve".

It's quite plausible the reason for that is because their algorithm is different, and not so biased towards popularity as Google's (perhaps because they don't rely so much on click-stream data to determine what people want to see).

Google search has gotten really terrible in recent years, especially if you're looking for something a little off the beaten path in situations like this, and I think the exact reason is an over-reliance on click-stream/popularity data.
I have a hard time believing the claims in the article. I use vector calculus and linear algebra everyday and so do my colleagues
What’s new now then?

Surely its either not new and thus not noteworthy, as you imply, or it’s a new feature with a somewhat uncertain future for us mere mortals to fully know.
You're at least somewhat correct.

I'm now playing a 4K movie on Plex. It's using a little over 1Gb RAM for that. After I started it, my computer swapped ~250Mb to the SSD. Firefox is still snappy. Safari is still running normally. VS Code is still doing its thing. I even started a `brew update` on iTerm, and I have the App Store installing a couple apps. Mail still runs fine, sends and receives, and I can switch between mail accounts and messages.

So, you may be technically right about the memory usage and the need for swapping. What you're missing is the fact that it doesn't hurt the user experience.

This is not marketing or bamboozlement. This is me on the same laptop I'm typing this answer.

You should probably do a deep inspection of your beliefs and stop denying the actual, practical experience of many people who are responding to you with real world experience.

I had a laptop that did that (got people noticing), I went to IT a few times to tell them that something was wrong with my laptop, as colleagues' were a bit quieter.

One day in the office, I shutdown my laptop for the day after the air conditioners turned off at 5pm. There were about 6 people left in the room, everyone noticed that "something had just turned off".

> just use the HID protocol

This is literally true, and covers what was important in context, but warrants a little extra explanation. Since these devices are specifically for humans to interface with (they typically have a button or contact sensor, though some have keypads or a fingerprint reader) they are logically Human Interface Device class USB devices, but they do not speak the HID Keyboard or Pointing Device sub-protocols like your mouse or keyboard (or the built-in "take a photo" button on your web cam). Instead they provide a FIDO-specific HID sub-protocol, which is publicly documented, instead of operations like "Caps Lock pressed" it's got stuff like "Begin enrolment" or "PIN xxxx entered by the user" which only makes sense for this specific problem.

Detecting the Aharonov-Bohm effect for gravity is a super impressive experimental achievement, though it's not as "weird" as the effect for magnetic fields.

One way of interpreting the normal Aharonov-Bohm effect is that it implies that the electromagnetic potential is more "real" than the electromagnetic field. We tend to think of the electromagnetic field as what's "really" out there because if you stick a charge in an electric field you can measure the field strength by measuring the force the charge feels or you can measure the force on a moving charge and calculate the magnetic field. By contrast the electromagnetic potential is not uniquely defined which makes it feel like a mathematical construct. You can add any function with zero divergence to the electric potential and any function with zero curl to the magnetic potential and have a potential that behaves identically for any experiment you could do (these are different gauge choices in the parlance).

The classic Aharonov-Bohm effect is that you take a particle and pass it around a magnetic solenoid in a superposition of two states --- say one state goes to the left of the solenoid, the other goes to the right. In a sense the particle takes both paths simultaneously. The magnetic field is zero along both paths the particle takes. If you turn the solenoid on and off you would think it would make no difference because no matter what you do, the magnetic field the particle encounters is zero. The key, though, is that the magnetic potential is not zero along the particle's path, and the magnetic potential affects the particle's phase in measurable way when the two states recombine.

Sometimes I see interpretations that this means that there is a small but non-zero chance that the particle is found inside the solenoid where the magnetic field is non-zero, but I don't think that's right. You can construct the experiment in a way that the chance of this happening is negligible. The real implication seems to be that the electromagnetic potential is the more physically fundamental quantity even though it is not generally directly observable.

All the math for the Aharonov-Bohm effect applies for gravitational fields as well. But here it's not quite as "weird" a result because gravitational fields can't be shielded the same way magnetic fields can be. The particle always encounters the gravitational field along both paths, so it's not so spooky that the field has a measurable effect.
