>Code validation runs at gigabytes per second.

You sure about that? I remember UTF8 validation being a major source of slowdown when parsing XML in Rust.

Branches kill CPU perf. And UTF8 has branch on every non ASCII char.

Nvm. Those methods use SIMD tricks, which while neat are hard to generalize.

Also not sure what JSON-RPC is referring to? LSP? Are you arguing that JSON is suboptimal? Like maybe, but it's close enough to rival binary formats. Plus you can parse GB/s of JSON.

Even text editors that forgo LSP have speed issues, unrelated to JSON.

A Quick Look at QUIC Censorship
The US is far too lenient with giving out drivers' licenses.

In many European countries prospective drivers must pass difficult exams and tests. Meanwhile, in the US, if you answer a few easy trivia questions correctly and can drive a car around the block, you pass.
Why would anyone want to downvote an informative comment?
Sure, but my whole point is that all of the underlying assets of the "real" financial system have a real purpose - none of that is true with crypto. Stocks represent real ownership shares, loans in the real world are made to direct capital from those that have excess (savers) to those that need it for real purposes (invest in productive capacity, buy a house, etc.)

I'm just looking for some actual use cases of using crypto finance to finance something in the real world, and I can't seem to find any.
I upvote any reply that's not just the absolute worst.

If someone took the time to read and think about whatever it was, worth a point IMO. Probably 95% or more at a guess get upvotes (maybe a bit less because I don't notice them all or just forget).
I don't think number 2 (specifically the complaint that the user can override gatekeeper) in their list is really an issue for enterprises. If they want they can already turn off the gatekeeper user override through a profile. I do exactly that on our Macs.

And for consumers I don't think it's a good idea to remove this option altogether. The owner should have full control if they desire it.

The constant check for modifications is great though. I'm surprised that wasn't the case before.
Australians: Do you think it’s cultural, economic, or policy?
I was cycling 13 miles. I expected to do 13 back. I just wanted to do it safely. along one stretch of road there was a path to the side - inwoukd get off the main road with lorries thundering past and cycle up the path happily not going to get killed. put such a path by every stretch of main road. Rural and urban. Then do something with the other roads.

People will cycle longer if we need to and can do it safely.

LN enables economy of scale. Imagine a future where the majority of txs use lightning (L2), and on-chain (L1) txs are much more rare. One L1 tx may cost 1mBTC. Or if you use L2, a node might charge you and 999 other people 0.001mBTC to route your payments (simplifying here). The amount of money hasn't changed, but it's spread out among more people.

Well, any software that gets written here can be legally forced to have secret backdoors in it by the government, so I'm not surprised people perhaps don't want to build products here.
That's... not really good evidence. Your story sounds almost identical to the "facebook/google is eavesdropping on me" stories that frequently make the rounds on popular discourse. Unfortunately, that's basically the Sasquatch of the privacy world (ie. there are many people with anecdotes claiming it exists, but very little in the way of actual evidence like network captures or decompiled binaries). If anything, it's worse than Sasquatch because at least with Sasquatch you could claim that there aren't many of them and/or they're actively avoiding humans so they're hard to photograph, but the "facebook/google is eavesdropping on me" stories implies it's happening to everyone so capturing an instance should only be a matter of technical skill rather than luck.

There honestly didn't seem to be any such rhyme or reason to it - it was way too frequent. Often replacing a whole sentence. (Not that those either side would be recognisable enough to see that it was a sentence between them being replaced.)

The first time we saw it there was a good lot of 'what the hell is this' before we even realised it was supposed to be a transcript, it was that bad. I'm not talking about just the odd bits replaced with weird words/phrases - the whole thing would be utter nonsense.

(And this was in Cambridge, not to say everybody was local (I'm not), but still, predominantly 'standard' not-straying-too-far-from-RP accents, it's not like it was some difficult niche regional accent & dialect that it couldn't understand.)

As of Big Sur it's impossible. The entire OS is now a single cryptographically signed image that's verified on boot, which is great for security but it includes some things that don't particularly need to be locked down.
> I wonder how anyone can question this.

Some developers and teams don't need the crutches. Type systems are also an encumbrance that comes with a non zero amount of issues. They slow development velocity down for a theoretical trade-off boon.

I've seen a type system take down a production system where a simple coercion would have functioned just fine. Literally the only thing wrong was the type defined and the code refused to run.
So the real problem seems to be that they are a monopoly? But how is that their fault? they invented the low-cost CDN market, before them we mostly just had Akamai that hosted Wimbledon-size websites and streams for $$$$.

The point of merging a public testnet is that it's a dry run for the entire ecosystem. Lots of entities use the testnets, from individuals to applications to exchanges. If they can pull off successful merges on testnets, they can probably do it on prod. And while this is the most complex upgrade so far, Ethereum has done a lot of other upgrades since launch.

At some point, you have to accept that you've done all you can, and ship.

If you use private torrents, chances are you want the swarms you participate in to be private, unless you're happy to announce your IP to RIAA. I do agree though that the current model in which cross-seeding between private swarms is an afterthought and a pain is not perfect. Clients should handle that automatically without having to resort to hardlinks and separate folders and heuristics to find matching torrents and partial matches and the rest of accidental complexity no one really wants.
No problemo. Cheers!

The difference in nearly every other speculative bubble is people agree the underlying assets have some real value. Housing may be way overpriced, but nobody thinks it should be 0.

With crypto there are plenty of rational arguments that the underlying assets are worth absolutely nothing.

It was much much faster than git at HTTP at the time though. That's why Google Code selected it. Also it was faster at imports which was why Mozilla selected it for their transition.

Some other things it was slower, that's changed over time ofc.

Also, in terms of clean history, mercurial has best of both worlds with phases and hidden by default commits to keep track of such cleanup.
Not to be too dismissing, but what are the odds that part of the impetus for this is to find something to use the SLS for?

Apart from that, I really do wish that my (millenial) generation had our voyager, our pioneer, etc. Perseverance (which I always found a bit of a cringe name relative to spacecraft of the 20th century, but i digress) and Curiosity and a few others are nice, but something, and I get a feeling that it's not just me, that there is this terrifying fear that gen x'ers and millenials just aren't as good as their ancestors. And the interstellar probe sort of adds to that fear, given it's not doing anything radically new relative to even 20th century spacecraft (similar science equipment, similar RTG, and so on).

If it did make it to court, I think Google and their lawyers will do a very good job of proving that LaMDA isn't sentient.

I'm also of the opinion that Lemoine has some other goal, besides just claiming LaMDA is sentient. It does seem that at the least, he is enjoying the media attention.
I find that the simplest way to understand P => Q is to express it as (!P or Q).
A substitute command is a TM that generates a class of FSMs. If we want to get into whether or not an FSM with output is a regex, or just the "allowability" of output that's an entirely different discussion.

But at it's basis the input is either accepted or not. Which leaves interpretation to the human on what an accept or reject/neither state means.
Not the same phyics, but a similar story. We used to play the original motocross madness(Not the whole thing, I think we had a demo disk with one level) and while there were "tricks" you could do with a key input we did not care about that, the real fun was the tricks you could do with the physics engine.

The single best thing about motocross madness the first was that the stage was surrounded by a large wall, but if you could get up that wall to keep you from going out of bounds the game game would yeet you with great force to the center, it was glorious.
There was this guy called dosdude on macrumors that made these excellent patch sets to get them mostly working with unsupported versions.

But it involved a lot more than just firmware. And there were lots of known issues with some configurations.

I'll check that software out though, perhaps I can run Mojave on my 2010 mbp, I really miss the dark mode
At least with an Apple TV and a Samsung 900r, it is unable to network between the two.

In order to actually have it looking at my face, I have to tilt the entire laptop up due to the fixed angle of the camera.

You're right, but when they adjusted the L6 role guideline (circa 2016), it was specifically to clarify that the L6 role was never intended to have that span of influence. Rather, every 2-pizza team (8-13 people) should have a sr. engineer. What at Google would be a Tech Lead.
Coming from the computer networking space this is somewhere I've been hoping to see a big machine learning splash like language translation has seen since large network graphs are either a big ball of mess or out of date because it takes too much human time to keep up to date.

It seems no matter how complicated you make the layout heuristics or what kind of dynamic iterating system you use when it comes to large connected graphs they just look nothing like a human would make. I'm not sure how would would get a large enough quality training set but it just feels like something that could be better done by machine learning than further manual definition.
I find it really interesting that one of the consequences is increased obesity in offspring. It's basically evolution passing on the message from one generation to the next: "Pack on those extra calories when you can kid, you're gonna need them!" Then when those environmental stressors are gone the signal is turned off for next generation. Sort of a short-term but cross-generational mechanism for optimizing metabolism. Wild.

No, I'm building a game that runs entirely on EVM. I love the notion that players pay per transaction and that money goes to people who run nodes that support the network. We are not designing any intentional "play to earn" mechanics. But thanks for assuming.

Every thread dozens of people say, "just don't connect!" They can connect to open networks such as Amazon sidewalk and other deliberate corporate IoT sabotage, and soon I'm sure we'll see the first televisions that require connection to even pass a signal from the HDMI port.

There’s another path - open source disclosure. I’m not seeking pay, I’m not using it. I’m just putting it right out there in the open. Should the wrong parties abuse it, oh well.

At this point in life, I feel “responsible disclosure” is just a PR tool for shit-birds to use to dodge accountability. The only thing they will respond to is pain.
> design taste is driven in large part by common (i.e. not rare) design elements

This is empirically false. 'Taste' has not been driven to prefer modern designs (unless one looks solely at high-class architects), the two have simply diverged:

A study of courthouse architecture determined that “[our] findings agree with consistent findings that architects misjudge public likely public impressions of a design, and that most non-architects dislike “modern” design and have done so for almost a century.” Yet 92% of new federal government buildings are modern. - https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/whither-tartaria

There is zero evidence that architects are trying to create classicaly beautiful, pleasing, beloved by the public buildings, and are simply thwarted from fully succeeding by the cost of labor. Which was somehow not an impediment when our societies were far poorer and less productive.

In fact, the evidence points in the exact opposite direction.
One criticism I haven't seen brought up is that while UVC drivers are plug and play on Windows their settings are not persistent across reboots [1]. I would painstakingly manually tune the exposure and white balance of my Brio and get it to be less than terrible and then windows update would reboot over night and I'd fire up a stream in the morning looking purple. I have softboxes and high-CRI lights too so this was particularly enraging.

The flipside is non-UVC driver are less terrible but less compatible: I've switched to an Avermedia PW513 which uses their own drivers -- this works great for OBS when I stream but nothing that uses UVC works without using an OBS Virtual Cam. Just don't run process monitor and watch what their software is doing to your registry every second.

So the driver system, at least on windows, is part of the problem IMO.

[1] After I switched to non-UVC I learned about a UVC driver restoring utility but I've never tried it.
>Why can't we have a language easy to read and maintain but also have the speed of C?

Swap out { } for Begin End, and make a few other changes, and you've got Pascal. Single pass pascal compilers have been faster (at compiling) that almost anything out there since Turbo Pascal 3.0 for MS-DOS.

Modern versions, such as Free Pascal, Delphi and Lazarus also deal with strings in a manner that totally avoids needing to manually manage memory. The GUI builders are awesome as well.
Recently having moved to Sydney from the US to do startup stuff (working on a clinical trial here), it's definitely got a "home town" feel compared to the US.

I really like the feel though — everyone in the VC world here seems to know and support each other; haven't seen that much politics and infighting yet.

However, the science / grant world here is pretty crazy, as one professor put it "In Australia everyone loves to fight over nothing" — "nothing" being the smaller grant sizes here compared to other places like Europe or the US
> Give it a camera module from a midrange 2017 smartphone and use the latest image processing tricks, and you'll blow almost any webcam on the market today.

Sorry, that's exactly the strategy of these webcam startups, and Apple with the Studio Display, and the results empirically suck. Even if you could get 2017 smartphone quality (which is still apparently an unsolved problem), why should you settle for that in a webcam that doesn't need to fit in your pocket or run on a tiny battery or cost a tiny fraction of the BOM of a much more complex device? We should be doing way better than that. And way better is definitely possible.
Vala is a really good language, such a shame that barely anybody uses (or maintains) it nowadays..
One thing I noted before that would potentially be a good change: downvotes should either cost points, or else require a reply why you did the downvote.
Bold of you to think even 80,000 odd people can competently read smart contracts and manage their own wallet.
A "few years" might be considered a long time in software development terms but in the rest of the world, not so much. To be proficient you need to put in your 10,000 hours which translates into 10 - 20 years depending on how much time you actually spend coding in your current job. In many jobs, the work required of you is mundane and may not provide the practice or challenge you need to progress to the next level, so it may be helpful to take on a side project or other means of building your skills. 30 is still pretty young, and "senior" software engineer is in fact a mid-level position, most senior software engineers have not achieved true expertise. So keep plugging ahead, if you want to get better, otherwise you can always switch roles and go into management if you don't want to put in the time.
The thing is, downvoting directly makes a comment less visible. The point is more any managing SNR than the feelings of the poster, so downvoting is still the right thing even if you're worried about rewarding them with negative attention. But even then, they know a downvote means several more people won't see their comment at all. And most people genuinely still don't like downvotes, so they're an effective signal of what's accepted or not in the community. In short, the poster's feelings are pretty irrelevant when it comes to downvoting.
There’s a lot of changes under the hood that this post doesn’t mention.
