This and the Elon thing is funny because like I don't think they have thought far enough to consider the full implications what they want to say here: that every human who uses Twitter is in fact in a kind of weird solipsism, and they are on some kind of crusade to wake people up from it.

People who use Twitter feel quite assured, I think, that there is usually another person behind the pfp; but Musk and now Texas are kinda wanting to suggest that that sense is often an illusion.

Honestly, if anything in my life is some kind of Truman show, its probably Twitter, so I definitely get how this angle can work for them. The kind of behavior the platform produces is sometimes more easily explained that way I think.

Then the next thought is just: why not make a Twitter clone that is purposefully this way? Every user logs into their own twitter where there are only a million bots with them, interacting with the user and themselves. It could be more finely tuned to the user's neuroses, so the ads can sell more. The overhead for content policing would shrink to zero, because everyone is just in their own sandbox anyway. The ephemeral interactions with random people would probably stay the same honestly, depending, I guess, on whether the real user knows the full situation or not, but I suspect even then it wouldn't matter. You can keep the news stories the same.

I am mostly joking but I do think people would use this. You could also pay more to have the experience of being a big twitter account/influencer. Even if you know they are bots, if the UX was strong enough it wouldnt matter, you would still get the dopamine hit for seeing your hot take get a million likes.
No, it's alive and well, you just aren't invited. You can't engineer or buy access into communities that you are not cool enough to be a part of. If you do somehow manage it, the core people who made the community cool before you showed up will quickly move elsewhere

SV nerds gotta stop trying to invite themselves to cool people parties, it's cringe. Accept your limitations as well as your strengths. Accept that real membership in those communities has a price that you are not actually willing and/or able to pay

Key takeaway:

>Embodied carbon, the CO2 produced during the design, construction and decommissioning phases of a development, is slashed because buildings require lower volumes of carbon-intensive products such as concrete and steel.

So we are likely trading CO2 production for reduction of some physical properties, likely affecting the building lifespan, thermal insulation/soundproofing, etc. It would be interesting to see the details, but like all things sensationalist, the article is extremely sparse on them.
> We're running out of easy to use resources after not even 150 years of industrial progress,

All of human civilization (and some pre-civilization time) has been industrial progress, and even if you are counting from the beginning of the popularly-named Industrial Revolution, that's fairly arbitrary but also 260+ years, not 150.
That doesn't seem new. Just taking the default single-thread benchmark from Anandtech, CPUs that are sequentially 20% slower than the current record, the Intel Core i9-12900K (Q4 2021), are the Ryzen 9 5900X (Q4 2020), the Core i9-10900K (Q2 2020), Core i3-7350K (Q1 2017), and Core i5-6500 (Q3 2015). That's a doubling in performance in about 6.25 years. So you needn't have waited for your fruity savior to bring you biennial 20% performance increases.
I've had the same experience with my XPS 9560. Past few years I've had "TPM device is not detected"[1] issues. Tried all the different solutions and nothings fixed it. Dell have never addressed it with a BIOS update.

I don't want to go back to OS X, but its hard to find good build quality and a high res screen.

Also, my battery was terrible after a couple of years. I had it plugged in as well. I bought a replacement this year and it was easy enough to switch out. Hopefully I can just keep this going and use it as an RDP machine.

That didn't make IE damaging. XMLHttpRequest pulled the web forward. What made IE damaging was that after it came pre-installed on Windows, it stopped progressing after IE6.

It had a garbage collector that made very rich webapps nearly impossible. https://vinaytech.wordpress.com/2008/11/07/garbage-collectio...

It had CSS bugs that weren't fixed for years. https://css-tricks.com/ie-css-bugs-thatll-get-you-every-time...

It didn't implement features that web developers asked for and didn't even join the working group formed to standardize those features. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHATWG

It had security issues that made it dangerous for people to use the web.

Safari suffers from the last three of those problems, and Apple makes them even worse by preventing other renderers on its platforms. If I had an iOS device, I'd want to run Firefox. I can't. That's on Apple, and pretending otherwise is absurd.
There's no point in grinding one's teeth and squeezing one's fist at an ancient construct that predates your birth by nearly a millenium. At some point you'll want to let the steam out of your ears, sit down, and hit the books. And the same will be true of the Third Reich in a couple centuries, when anyone even remotely associated to anyone else even remotely associated with the atrocities committed by Germany will be long since dead. And the 1933-1945 period in Germany will become more of a subject of historical curiosity than a source of outrage.

Password managers like Bitwarden can do TOTP with syncing. Doesn’t help with Apple though which uses non-standard 2FA. I actually have some accounts using SMS still, because I can fairly easily get a replacement sim if the device is lost.
It's weird, I visited Seoul a lot and I guess I've internalised the fact that it is not pretty ... but it doesn't really register when I was there. It's a fairly buzzing city with a decent transport system, good food and a lot going on ... so it kinda doesn't matter on some level that it's a bit unspectacular visually.
True, but the "can run Doom" framerate could be 1 per minute. It obviously can update decently fast, but whether it's a "display" is arguable.
I take it you haven't heard of Prolitec[0].

Olfactory memory is exceptionally strong[1], and if a marketer could successfully tap into it, I imagine very positive outcomes.

This, but I think it goes beyond this too.

If Apple allows exceptions to the iOS sandbox for developers, it will very rapidly be abused by users who don’t understand the implications of what they’re doing.

You can see this in the many just-jailbreak-your-iphone-to-get-this-cool-feature videos all over youtube. Almost no-one outside of developers understands what it really means to disable these guardrails and the headache for Apple when it starts going wrong would be enormous.

Not at all, your opinion is much appreciated. Nothing massively different in the chassis and display, right?
My spinning-rust 24” iMac from 2011 mostly manages to trundle along with Linux Mint on it for my partner to use. LibreOffice and Firefox for web browsing, mostly.

Anything more than that and it chokes. Too many tabs, it chokes. Too many software updates, woo boy does she choke. That poor machine!
Not sure I understand the question. Persistence isn't guaranteed in any browser, but Safari is the only one with a definite 7 day limit. All browser treat these limits the same (e.g. engagement doesn't matter), except for browsers that support persistent storage after a user gives permission for it.
> Professional simulation software with finite element methods and the like

I learned a little about the theory behind this a decade ago, and how to implement it. For a simple PDE you discretise the domain, apply something like the Galerkin method [1] to convert your true problem on the continuous domain to an approximate problem on the finite-dimensional discretised domain. For particularly simple PDE the approximate problem turns into a gigantic linear system of equations, A x = b. The derivations to figure out the exact form of A and b might be fiddly, but not fundamentally challenging. Then you solve for x. Large-scale linear algebra is relatively well understood and industrialised. As dimensions of problem are so large, iterative methods [2] are used to obtain an approximation to x without needing to compute an explicit inverse matrix A^-1. Discretised PDE generally produce sparse matrices A, which are efficient to compute with, whereas A^-1 will be dense, and you do not want to try to work with A^-1 explicitly.

Theoretically, given certain assumptions you can prove desirable properties about finite element schemes. One highly desirable property is that the sequence of approximate solutions with smaller and smaller mesh sizes converge to the true not-approximated continuous solution in the limit as the mesh size goes to zero. Some of the assumptions required to guarantee convergence might place restrictions on the shape of your mesh -- e.g. if the mesh is triangulated and some mesh elements become arbitrarily thin and pointy, the approximation may not be guaranteed to converge.

> MRI and similar scanners

I have no idea how the physics, sensors and hardware side of MRI works, but once you have the data and equations from some physical model linking the state you want to infer to the observed data, it is some kind of mathematical inverse problem to estimate and infer the state from the observation, and we're back in applied math & industrial linear algebra territory. No magic.
I am missing something. Which thing is the egg and which thing is the chicken?
NAM doesn't work against an air power of 1700+ missiles launched at your territory. Like it or not, Ukraine with its standing army and modern military equipment will be among the most powerful European countries at the end of this war and Russia will be confined and likely go through internal breakup processes.

Ukraine has been fighting Russia for 400+ years. It has a long history of revolutions against Russia's puppets. Zelenskyy is anything but a puppet. You can listen to his speeches. https://www.youtube.com/user/PresidentGovUa/featured (with English subtitles). Ukraine simply wants to join the EU and NATO. Russia does not want that. That's the reason for this war. And now Ukraine is very likely to attain EU candidate status this month. EU is actively supporting Ukraine in its accession bid.
Check out Working Copy. No subscription, just an IAP unlock for the full version. And it’s really good.
I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said, but just to the specific narrow example of UE’s ACharacter: there’s nothing stopping you using APawn as your “player” and composing the collision, mesh, movement and functionality as you please - in fact, I suspect the majority of people using Unreal Engine for anything other than toy projects would do just that. I think the “pre-composed” ACharacter exists mainly to help with quick prototyping.
If Vimeo offers an ingest API using either RTMP(S) or HLS, that would be one way to get the stream from Daily directly to them without any extra processing step in between.
I know enough families with multiple iPads that I’m assuming the answer is that it drives sales
I'm pretty price insensitive, but nothing on the market comes close to what I'd like:

- One week suspend, resume under linux (reliable).

- Keyboard and trackpad centered under display, and as good as best of class from 10 years ago.

- 4K / hidpi display

- no/minimal fan, cool running

- 12+ hour "typical" battery life; at least 4 when running slack and zoom (and maybe compilation jobs)

- as fast as a 10 year old midrange desktop e.g. i7: 2700)

- don't care about video acceleration, but video out must reliably work.

- No dual GPU switchover garbage.

- not intel brand (the last N Intel machines I have used have had severe chipset/cpu issues)

- ability to not run systemd in a supported config.

All the laptops I have found fail on multiple of these points. My pine book pro meets as many of them as most high end laptops do (so, not all that many), but at least it was cheap and worked out of the box.

Still waiting for a "real" laptop to replace it, but everything I've seen has glaring fatal flaws.
The SEC filing very specifically explains that Musk has _already_ had the opportunity to seek any clarifying information needed, and is _already_ in agreement that no more information is needed to be satisfied with the deal. See my other comment about Section 5.11.
Section 8.3[1] of the contract covers that. There are very limited circumstances where Twitter would pay, and none of them are likely to happen.

Twitter would pay in these circumstances:

> (i) (A) a Third Party shall have made a Competing Proposal ...

> (ii) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii); or

> (iii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii)

(i) and (ii) involve competing offers to acquire Twitter, which I don't think are likely given market conditions.

(iii) is defined in Section 8.1(d)(ii)

> (ii) prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, if the Company Board shall have made an Adverse Board Recommendation Change.

"Adverse Board Recommendation Change" is defined in length in Section 6.5(d), but basically means that the board recommended shareholders to reject the deal.

Chrome local storage is indefinite until cleared. So what’s the difference with respect to privacy?

With safari I’ve found in practice you can’t really rely on the local storage for what it’s worth.
GDP should not be confused with production. It is a sum of transactions, not goods.

I could make a $1 widget, then the two of us could exchange it back and forth to produce an arbitrarily High Gdp. At the end of the day, we would still have just one widget. [Edit: see valid criticism below]

This becomes very clear when you look at economic breakdowns of GDP, where things like Finance and government are included
So just do not hook the tuner up to the internet then? Interesting. Unless of course they do something shady like throw a 4G chip inside the box
I'm glad, but unfortunately I'm sure if the police / government decide they want this sort of technology someone else will build it for them.
Nope, docker just sets up linux cgroups/namespaces and spawns a new linux process, no kernel of its own.
This is the part that gets me. I am currently in hybrid mode. The company officially says there are not enough desks to house us all at the same time. There is zero practical reason for me to be there physically ( I don't have customer contact, I don't train people, I don't talk to executives ). And yet, WFH is somehow made into a bad word.

And then the same people who suggest WFH is full of distractions ("Time spent on coordination activities and meetings increased, while uninterrupted work hours shrank considerably."), ignore the same issues with in-office settings.

It is not about WFH or productivity. It is about doing things as they have always been done.
> iCloud ... backup

> E2EE

If you can lose all your existing devices, and can still restore your data, then that data isn't end to end encrypted.

I'm taking the "end" in e2ee to mean your devices. Nothing but your devices can decrypt your e2ee prospected data. If a new device can enter the circle of trust without an existing device's corporation then there is a backdoor.

I imagine icloud keychain supports synchronization rather than backup

Worth noting that this is a question by Scott Aaronson
Can we also talk about how this guy is in the third year of his PhD and has no less than 18 papers listed under "major/recent publications", all but two of which are published, and one of the latter 'shocked' the math community?
I’d be surprised if Apple implements the prompt since they’ve been careful to implement the bare minimum.
> NVME is around two orders of magnitude slower than DDR3 RAM,

No. Dual channel DDR3 went up to about 18 GB/s read and 14 GB/s write. [1]

The latest NVMe PCIe 5.0 SSD are about 13 GB/s read and 12 GB/s write. [2]

Apple SSD are about half that now, but most DDR3 users didn't have highest clocked dual channel RAM either. So roughly a factor of 2 or so at best, about a 50x difference compared to two orders of magnitude :-)

> Assuming that's the case, then finding out there's not a big bot problem would mean there's not as much of an opportunity.

But that's not what he's saying, he's saying "the bot problem is way worse than you're saying, therefore the $54.20 price is too high."
My prediction is that they are just slowly going to merge them (like we've been seeing over the past few years with control center, multi-tasking, and now stage manager and system preferences). I bet there would be a lot of outrage and pushback if they decided to merge them before all the functionality is there, but eventually people will be asking for them to be the same.
I've not looked this up in a while. I couldn't link any Athanasius to Lubensk at the time (but don't Athanasius of Constantinople, and found Lubensk.

Gotta say the "appears to people in a dream" is kinda fucked up [messing with my head].

It must be 10y or more since I last researched it, looks like there are more leads out there.

Thanks.
And answering someone who states that they have a specific set of interests and needs with ... a completely different use case ... is ignoring their argument.

sto_hristo didn't deny your use case.

You're denying sto_hristo's.
In Firefox you can, and I do, tell the browser to refuse Attestation. There's a prompt during the enrolment process.

There's no reason why you should provide Attestation for the Web generally. It could make sense (though I'd argue it does not) for some specialised applications but generally it's probably a waste of your time (collating the necessary data to make it work) and your users time (now some stuff they want doesn't work and needs explicit authorisation).
FPGA probably costs too much for these; and there's not likely enough money in them to make an accurate single chip system. (single chip NES asics exist, but accuracy isn't quite 100%; I've read that at least one of the atari 2600 retro consoles was built with one and they just ported the games to the NES)

I mean Mongols depopulated entire large cities. E.g. the entire population of Merv, which was one of the world's largest cities at the time, was killed.
I don’t think it’s a difference in kind. Given some specific physical computer, how would you determine an n such that n states are iterable on that computer but n+1 states are not iterable due to the universe’s ability to support computation?
This is really funny considering how high people were about their MacBook pros during this era.
I have never had a car. I'm 31 and I don't plan on having one. It is definitely a privilege to have planned my life around transport options that are more environmentally friendly, but I'm actually pretty committed to it.

As for renewables, I've bought shares in green energy in my pension and some in this scheme which allows people to co-own wind turbines:

https://rippleenergy.com/

When I buy my own home, I'll be installing an air source heat pump and solar panels.

As for flying, I've done it a few times but less than half a dozen flights in total in my life. My plan is to interrail one day.

So yes, actually I have more or less done what you suggested. It takes time and commitment, and the centre of my argument is that making the choices I have made should be easier than making the choices that contribute to climate change. Down vote all you like.
Hello, thank you!

We are improving the English documentation/help and translating more pages :) The OOP in LeekScript is very close to JS.

At the moment there is no official way to sync your code, but LW has a REST API you can use to interact with the game programmatically. I would love to implement a proper synchronization with a Git repo in the future!
Asahi Linux is, for me, the most interesting thing going on in Linux these days.
And AMD to intel pre Ryzen.

It takes a good 5 years of doing everything right though.
what's the performance cost vs. intel code on the host under rosetta2 and native arm code on the host?
You can choose from either at no additional charge.
There are several android phones that compete with the iphone 13 pro performance wise, while running a much less optimized os.

Likewise in the desktop world, the single core performance of the M1 is on par with top of the line chips, and M2 will be the same, and intel and amd work fine on linux.

Apples decision to keep a locked box has nothing to do with performance, solely to do with keeping people in the ecosystem for revenue.
I feel like the FUD comes from battling browser-based "allow notifications" requests from websites from whom no one wants to receive notifications--to me that is learned human FUD, as opposed to bullshit-FUD from a competitor trying to manipulate a market.

Notifications suck in browsers. Maybe they turn to to magic in the iOS universe because of the device-ness aspect.
Having experienced that exact situation, that is where my suggestion comes from; asking about an app and knowing about it means that context can be shared to folks who need it in light of this product change by Apple.

Tangentially, lots of not so well adjusted folks out there.
What I really want is good 3d acceleration on M1 windows vm’s from 98 to Win 7, like I currently have using parallels on Intel Mac.

(Okay, not quite. The 3d support seems to start at winxp. )
Undermentioned new feature: DriverKit is now available on iPadOS. You will be able to, apparently, write your own drivers and run them on iPads. That's a big deal.
I'm glad some people are happy about this. I'm just hoping Apple includes an option to automatically opt out of all web notification requests. The fact that every website asks you to accept notifications has rendered the feature useless, since I feel compelled to disable it entirely at the browser level to block those obnoxious pop-up.
I don't mind the touchbar - I mind that it _replaced_ the F-keys! I want proper function keys! If I get some sort of status display _in addition_ to the keys, I'm fine with that.
