I don't totally disagree with you here. There's certainly something to be said about systems that make people happier than no system at all or the wrong system entirely, e.g. the soft power of surveillance being better than a total lack of enforcement of certain rules or heavy-handed and expensive policing efforts that don't work or make people any more free.

That being said, I think there are limits to this philosophy. It's pretty clear by now that not everyone in China is getting a fair shake, to the extent that perhaps it is time for other countries to evaluate their relationships with the output of those in China who are experiencing something that goes beyond the pale in terms of human rights violations i.e. the Uyghur population and the work that they are being "voluntold" for as well as the "re-education" they are experiencing.

I think that for as much sense as it makes for China to do whatever it does, it makes sense for Western countries to do something about the obvious misalignment of values between the two groups. The West not accepting / becoming dependent on economic conditions that result from violations of their views on human rights or democracy is a very reasonable action to take from an ethical and moral standpoint, just as an example.

I assume it's just people being impatient. Using a lower powered charger is arguably better for battery longevity.
Who says Apple wants to make it hard? Not prioritizing making it not hard probably is enough to make it hard for those outside of Apple (and “not prioritizing” probably comes about because they don’t see many people running essential software on aarch64 Windows that doesn’t run on Apple hardware, or has equivalent tools on Apple hardware)
To be clear, I"m talking about using the default "AWS KMS key" as they call it now, not managing your own keys. Just click the box on S3 and it's encrypted at rest, but completely transparent. If a user has access to the S3 bucket, they have access to the data within it. This has been sufficient for every enterprise client I've worked with because it checks the "data encrypted at rest" box for SOC2, ISO-27001, etc.
USB-C was developed partly because lightning should how much better a reversible multipurpose cable could be. The argument is that without the ability for one player to innovate with a new port we not have the same quality of USB-C port we have now.

This is going to be a great experiment in performance. Ideally, with the average commute time of 1 h returned to employees, remote firms should be, in general, beating everyone else at retention, hiring, and happiness while performing the same.

I imagine there'll be a clear schism and office-centric workplaces and remote-workplaces will separate. And then we can see how it all shows up in reality.
I wish EU standardizes a single electric socket for all EU countries. Germany, France, Switzerland and Italy - each has a different socket (although German and French are very similar to each other).

What happens if you open two buffers to view two parts of the same document (easy in Emacs, not possible in lots of editors)? If you switch focus or close one, what are you manipulating? Not the document.

You could choose a different name (view?) but it's a different abstraction compared to a "document".
I agree and I'm saddened that it's a deal breaker for you. Unfortunately, we do not have infrastructure to offer pay-as-you-go (actually pretty challenging ops). We're forced to target a smaller niche today and expand in the future (i.e. offer pay-as-you-go).

But for those who are already spending, let's say, $250+ a month on TTS, this is a sweet deal. They are my initial target customers.

We're sampling the Neural AWS Polly Matthew voice. FYI:
Neural Matthew ($16/1M chars): https://unreal-tts-live-demo.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/aws/...
Standard Matthew ($4/1M chars): https://unreal-tts-live-demo.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/aws/...

Well, our $250/mo is at $2.6 per 1M chars which is even cheaper than Standard Matthew, and I think ours clearly sounds better?
Noob here, can we discuss about what are the practical effects of understanding high-energy theories? ie have we invented anything practical based on those colliders?
I think the fact that it never got off the ground shows that the ask is pretty impossible... it is really hard and expensive to securely run a payment system like that.

Do you think it would eventually be possible to run amd64 programs on it (like rosetta2 but for Microsoft Windows?) The main feature of Windows is legacy compatibility and that is perhaps why arm Windows doesn't seems to gain much traction.
Eventually I wonder if this project could be helpful to run wine on asahi linux, which would be awesome.
> Or, if you are planning to use the note immediately or near term in commerce, you might have sufficient confidence that our re-key service won't shut down (but yes, this obviously implies some trust if you hold notes without re-keying of claiming).

Does this mean that your private servers have the ability to re-key notes? What prevents someone from scanning the chip or storing the user key that they generated, handing the note to someone else, and then walking around the corner and immediately using the scanned information to re-key it?

Without understanding more about the technical details, this feels like unless a user is using an app to re-key immediately at the time of transfer that it's significantly less secure than normal cash. I guess I'm not completely clear on what you're doing with user keys.

---

> Because with a phone alone they need to store their keys locally.

But they have to do that here too, or is the assertion that they don't need to back up the user key necessarily and that it's not secret? Is the user key just plain-text readable?

If the user key is accessible from the chip just via scanning (not cutting), and isn't a user-defined secret that only they know (which seems like would require some form of backup), then does that mean an attacker can just walk past my wallet with a reasonably powerful RFID reader and then rekey every single one of my bills?
So then what about releasing data on how to enrich uranium at home or selling it on <web store>? I know usually there are multi-million dollar facilities required for enriched uranium production but why shouldn't the free market allow people to buy enriched uranium - it isn't our place to morally prejudge what people may use it for and the bad people will have access to it anyways... so why can't I buy a kilo of U-235 on Amazon?

I'm sure there are some very worthy technical efforts to improve mankind that are being hampered by the lack of easily accessible U-235 so why are we restricting this material from Chemists that want to Chem and Physicists that want to Fizz?

Good try at subtle insult, but it missed the mark.

Yes, the web had some promise many years ago. Now it's a monstrosity fuelled by Chrome non-standards that's one step away from collapsing under its own weight.

It might be shocking to realize that not all body types fit well into a suit, regardless of how well tailored it is. I used to be tall and lanky, great for a suit. Then age happened, and now I'm much more round that beanpole. Nothing fits well, and I've tried custom shirts etc. I just look like a well dressed, round person. I'm not more comfortable at all, in fact the opposite.

Plop me in a pair of shorts with a t-shirt or better, a hoodie and I feel great.

Apple is in a very different position than they were with the switch to Intel. Some versions of Microsoft Office lack "legacy" features like Excel macros [1] and collaborative editing [2]. Microsoft would love to run Office inside a version of Windows on the Mac, as part of an on-ramp to people buying Surface-branded hardware. Apple isn't going to be an euthastic provider of this.

[1] Works-ish on Mac, not at all on iPhone.

[2] Collaborative editing on the Mac version works until you point at a file hosted on an on-premise Sharepoint instance, then it's Windows only.
That isn't true. Einstein's "breakout" paper was on the Photoelectric effect. He wasn't a fan of probabilistic interpretations of quantum mechanics but it's not accurate to say that he didn't have a hand in it
Code Generation with HuggingFace
The USB-C spec has 24 pins, making it considerably more complex than USB-A connections, which 4 pins. Only 4 of those 24 pins are used for power delivery.

If all you need from the USB-C connection is charging, is OK to implement a 4 pin connection to keep the design simpler and cheaper?
I did see a mail from them a few months ago about this, you need to use their oauth2 flow now I believe for any "less secure" apps, more vendor lock-in
Makes sense, pedogogically: if you're really trying to teach anything, it's the idea of abstracting things and building them up from shapes. You'd start by giving step-by-steps for simple animal drawings, and progress to examples that give less hand-holding.

I guess if I have an objection to the owl meme, it's that most of these examples pretty much just work; they're not at all "rest of the owl" throw-aways.
I joined Google ~6 months before COVID. More than 60% the company was hired after my start date, so that 1/3 stat is probably higher.
> This kind of logic I would expect only from a bean-counter, and a bad one to be honest... Why would anyone pay $80k/month to solve a problem that could be solved with 0.5 FTE?

I think you're underestimating what it would take to solve the problem (even one as "simple" as this one). But, let's assume there is an off the shelf open source solution that is perfect for your environment and requires no changes and integrates easily in your corporate processes without any work (this is already very unrealistic...).

Then, you need to run it and provide 24/7 uptime for your 10k users, which are presumably spread across multiple timezones. Your 0.5 FTE is going to be on call 24/7? Good luck filling that position.

Finally, how are you going to support the 10k users? Is that 0.5 FTE going to answer all the support requests?

I'm not saying it's bad to do things in house - and there are really good reasons to do so. You just have to be realistic. It's going to take a whole lot more than 0.5 FTE to run even a "simple" service like this with the kind of reliability and support your 10k users will demand.

Suddenly that $80k/mo to make it someone else's problem doesn't sound so bad :)
It's strange how every year the police have a new excuse. Prior to Boudin they blamed the change to the $950 felony theft limit ( Texas has $2,500). Now they wore that out they've decided it's Boudin. After the recall what will it be next?

Anyway, taking the the cops at their dubious word, assume the DA is terrible. Does it actually make sense to be like "because the DA is terrible, we will also be terrible but you can't criticize us". (Not even getting into the long history of SF policy chronic issues)
Cool - I probably shouldn’t be surprised that the smart minds in machine learning and natural language processing are well ahead of me, an interested lay person!

That hasn't been my experience. I have a bunch of 30w USB-C chargers that charge everything in my house. They are built in to my wall outlets and support (at least) 5v, 9v and 15v. I don't know where you're getting this idea that the standard is "so varied that the standardization means nothing". Those three profiles are enough for me. If I buy a 100W laptop, I may need one more charger, but that's just because I chose not to pay to have 100W available everywhere. It seems reasonable that a tiny phone charger won't work so great on a gaming laptop.

EDIT: Guess I'm not allowed to reply to sagarm? That's annoying. But yeah, it's the Leviton one. I love it. Cleans up so many ugly wall warts.

Well there is a difference between "purchase a computer that is good enough for your needs and keep it as long as it's good enough" (which I assume is the case for OP) and (quoting parent comment) "Buy the best tools you can" (which for some people here would mean purchasing a new phone and a new computer every year).
>>It will lead to . . . less trust in media

Trust in media is already very low, and in fact should go lower. Deepfake tech exists, and the fact that it does, and is broadly available to bad actors, should be widely known.

Obviously the best case by far is that such weapons (in this case disinformation weapons) do not exist, but the worst case is them existing but hidden — THAT is the recipe for fooling people in the greatest numbers.

These tools existing, with widespread knowledge of their existence is sort of the least-worst case for the real world in which we live.

Yes this does have the potential to kill pretty much anything related to video and photography (everything from art to news to documentation), but that was the same when spam was a literal threat to existence of email. Unless we manage it, video and photography will be trusted for nothing but boring amusement; but better than than mass deception.
A company in my town still requires suit and tie for men, dresses or long skirts for women. If you leave your chair, you need to put your suit jacket on. You can take it off when sitting.

Inflation Is Poised to Ease According to These Three Key Indicators
It's very strange to read this comment on article about USB, which has been developed by committee from the beginning. To me it seems quite innovative, and arguably disruptive to have a single standard for all these things. Maybe USB doesn't clear your personal bar, but then why worry about this at all?
GP explicitly stated they were referring to what is taught/learned in a discrete maths class.

finite state machine => usually taught in a theory of computation class

strings => wtf?

combinatorics => would be taught in a discrete maths class but I can totally believe that a software engineer has never used combinatorics aside of solving toy problems

trees, graphs => more likely dealt with in a data structures and algorithms course. That said there is a discrete maths slant on how these topics can be approached, but they involve proofs that nobody really cares about when writing software

modulus => those are usually dealt with under number theory classes, besides, unless you're implementing RSA or some cryptographic function, usually the grade 8 level understanding of modulus (i.e. remainder of a division) suffices
Definitely, those Apple-supplied cables suck hard. Adding little tension relief springs[0] to the ends can protect them if you don't want to buy another (or more robust) cable and create more e-waste. You can find the springs in clicky pens.

I also wonder about this. Every device I've ever bought that needs either a charger or an AC adapter has come with its own power/charging cable. I've never had the desire for them to all have the same connector. I just keep the charger with the device. When I buy a new device, I expect it to come with the cable necessary to power or charge it.
Wait, was midislack serious? Man, right-wingers are just beyond satire at this point.
I'll share my solution.

I have "recovery capsules". Some are electronic (high quality usb drive) and some are dead tree on waterproof paper. These get me back into my password manager and require things I know to decrypt. USB drive contains needed decryption software for lots of platforms. This bootstrap data almost never changes.

Emails, clouds, photos, etc get backed up automatically onto a homelab which stores data on ZFS. I manually do a backup (semi-automated, plugging in the drive to the dock is manual still).

I had a buddy I exchanged backups with but lost that situation, so I need to find a new one or two, but that gives me offsite backup.

Admittedly this isn't perfect - if my local city melts then I am screwed but also I probably have bigger problems then anyways.
ReactOS is nowhere near enough the quality you'd need - you don't want to waste time figuring out if you are fighting a bug in ReactOS or in your own code.
The second-to-last butterfly is the complete, instantly-recognizable shape of the butterfly; the rest is just coloring and shading. Getting the shape right is probably harder! The butterfly also probably makes a point about the importance of getting the basic shape right before you get tangled up in the fine details --- you can be "wrong" about the butterfly pattern and still produce a butterfly, but it's much less ok to be wrong about the shape?
FWIW, here's a repo of ANTLR grammars: https://github.com/antlr/grammars-v4

Many of them are incomplete, but it gives a good idea of how the grammar looks for ANTLR.

I used the ANTLR grammar for parsing CSS in DiffLens (https://github.com/marketplace/difflens). DiffLens uses the typescript compiler itself to parse TS and JS.

I've also used Roslyn to parse C# (and F#). I wonder if the ruby compiler itself exposes a parser.
The Bank of America app only lets you install it if your Google (or presumably Apple) account country is set as America. I am abroad but needed to use the app. I had to create a VPN on an American cloud instance and connect my phone to it so that I could set my country to America and install the app.

Companies pay governments to do business there? I mean this sounds great, I would love my grocery store to pay me to shop there. How do we make this happen? It seems to me sometimes like waiting for these kind of things to happen is cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Windows, for its many faults, is feature complete and officially supports ARM today. Neither is true of ReactOS. Thus, it's currently much easier and more useful to port windows.

Good advice - tracking down all of dad's account information was very laborious after he passed away - we found an insurance policy that covered my mom that I assume he didn't know about since he never made a claim.

My sister (and executor of our will) knows that the paper is in the fire safe, just in case something disastrous happens to both my wife and I. They'll need a locksmith to get in the safe though.
The 2nd amendment as supporting collective rather than individual gun ownership is the traditional interpretation. The more maximal interpretation as supporting individual gun ownership is a recent thing. The ACLU has chosen not to defend that more maximal interpretation which was made law by the Supreme Court in 2008 in D.C. v. Heller. Reference: https://www.aclu.org/other/second-amendment.

For the 1st amendment, you might find this 2022 article interesting: https://www.aclu.org/news/civil-liberties/defending-speech-w.... It refers to ACLU history and lists recent 1st amendment support they've given to Trump supporters, the NRA, people making homophobic statements and so on.

Why would Apple want to go out of their way to make it easy to run Windows on an M1 device? Maybe they just developed the platform to run the intended target OS, and didn't bother to include features that weren't necessary to meet that goal.
