> Those in the centers of power don't need to launder money.

Oh yes they do. Read about all the ways dictators and their friends wash ill-gained riches in the West to buy real estate, enjoy lavish lifestyle, finance activities that undermine democracies and further their own agenda, etc. Sanctions exist for a reason.

You can't have anonymity without enabling crime and laundering. In a digital world where you need less to be physically present to profit from a crime, I want law enforcement to be able to seize criminal's funds.

If you think your government abuses that power try electing a different one, if you are in a democracy you can. If you want lawless anarchy I'm not with you, we had something like that in Russia in the 90s and it's not fun.

I don't understand why Toyota don't understand what it is about: the customers hate Toyota Prius.

Customers and industries worldwide downplay and resist hybridization, and now electrification. Prius being a tangible bad experience explains huge bulk of it. My speculation is that they use negative sentiments associated with products to even out sales figures over generations, but that type of ignorance and arrogance were what led to complete destruction of Japanese flip phone hardware industry.

iPhone don't dominate the current market because of its Unix-derived kernel for the operating system, nor because they integrate advanced linear actuators for haptic feedbacks. The way Toyota is thinking cars is the latter ways; they are gauging interest in parts it uses where customers have been moving away from its products.

This might be a bad analogy but when the majority starts moving towards organic foods over engineered industrial foodstuffs, there must be something going wrong with the class of products at scale.
I think it's possible - red flags (for example blog spam or commercial sites) seem easy enough to catch for a human; probably in an automatic way too, at least as long as you're small enough that they don't specifically target you.

Google's search results are so bad I can't really alledge incompetence here but have to wonder whether there's some different motivation. Maybe it's that low quality search results tend to be plastered with ads, which they get a cut on.
I've played it for some 30 hours together with my much younger brother-in-law at the beginning of the pandemic, and despite (and sometimes even because of) the glitches involved, we had a great time.

I think it would be a mistake to go in and expect (or demand) a perfectly polished experience. That they even managed to retrofit a multiplayer mode onto a strictly single player game is a completely mind-blowing achievement in my book - esp. given how well it works, all things considered.

See this comes down to simple maths though. If you can retain enough of the loyal customers and win some news ones with the "exciting change", the net difference is worth it.

This keeps happening so I guess the maths checks out.

They are one and another when it comes to broadcast. Tied in unison until they are dead. As for the LF/MF/HF propagation modes, they are terribly unpredictable as anything other than line of sight. Groundwave <3MHz and lower, if you're lucky.

Non-deterministic propagation is interesting if you're an amateur radio operator or SW DXer but it's not important and is quite frankly a liability if you have to rely on it or have a target audience. Sure you can bash out some CW to Tasmania from Europe and tell a great story but you're probably dead if you need it at a specific time when the sun is sleepy.

For ref, ex CW operator. I use a UHF radio computer unit with a fruit on the back now.
You mean the least efficient?
It's very impressive what AI can do for developers to help us code.

Imagine pair programming with an intern who memorized your database schema.
You don't need to go back and forth between schema and your code, you can keep your focus at the cursor. It's great for automating the boring stuff.

I would love if Github provided an API for Copilot. Imagine integrating Copilot with your shell.
So they better start increasing the standard of living if they want people to be able to afford EVs in all EU countries.
This is pretty cool! Didn't know you can query SQLite databases from s3. I recently tried out PMTiles[1] to do something similar but it requires an extra processing step. Would anybody know the pros and cons of this vs PMTtiles?

> and even in the US there are still some state secrets that you cannot publish regardless of how true they are

That is simply not true. There are many examples where USA newspapers published leaked secrets and the journalist were not convicted for it in any case.

The Pentagon Papers come to mind as the most famous example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon_Papers
Yeah the orgy places are one of the worst kept secrets here. Everyone knows they exists, but it's not really spoken of. I had a friend (Japanese) that was invited and he just explained it as being weird. The place he went to just had glass rooms full of naked folks doing things naked people tend to do together. It was a combination of an orgy and a voyeur event.

Underground life in Japan can get pretty extreme. Typically foreigners aren't privy or allowed in such environments. Not saying it doesn't happen, though.
If the claimed rate of fake clicks is significantly wrong advertisers are unhappy. But whether it's high is irrelevant. For an advertiser, $1 per click with 0% fake or $0.50 per click with 50% fake are equivalent, except the first one requires tremendous overhead to maintain likely making the whole endeavor less efficient.
Image-Based Clip-Guided Essence Transfer
Making the same ridiculous claim as the rest of the industry, from Intel to Microsoft, but not having earned the same trust as others.

Microsoft has been riding a wave of bullshit, sorry of "vaporware", for decades with advertisement that show no relationship between what they sell and what they actually deliver. Yet, that managed to own a market through entrenching themselves via lock-in, bundle sales and lobbying. So even if you do hate Microsoft then in practice you are stuck with it as your staff is trained on it. Intel didn't do it as much but if you do look more carefully things like volumetric capture or what more powerful computing "could" enable, it's pretty close. At least they could blame the lack of progress on others.

Anyway MagicLeap did the same but as a newcomer people do wait, try, shrug and move on simply because they can. To dig a bit more :

- over-promise, the infamous whale without headset and complete field of view
- trying to shift developers to new tools rather than rely on a well known stack
- believe they have enough funding and skills to make their own OS

Honestly what they did in few years is actually impressive. Going from nothing to an actual headset, OS, framework and even content is a tremendous feat. Unfortunately the value delivered in term of actual experience for the end user is just not sufficient. Again if you are Microsoft and you can afford this entire billion dollar exercise as a marketing campaign to show you are innovative then sell yet another spreadsheet license to a government, that's fine. If your core business itself is not perceived as good enough then, totally different story.

PS: I have a MagicLeap ML1 in my office and had one since they sold it, so few years ago. I programmed for it. I also have a HoloLens2, VuzixBlade, Google Glass Enterprise 2 and few others AR and VR headsets. Overall they truly did a good job but compared to the expectations they set and overall needs, still a long way to go.
Hmm, if you meet a young black man, it’s more likely you will be shot, but if you meet a young white man, it’s more likely a lot of people will get shot.

No Token Left Behind: Explainability-Aided Image Classification and Generation
Whenever I skip a meal, I always feel "Hangry" without fail. So I am sceptical about this. How long do you have to do any kind of intermittent fasting to actually start feeling the benefit? (What are the actual benefits?).

From what I have read, our body is healthier with "regular" cycles / habits - sleeping and waking up at the same time, eating regularly at the same time, exercising at the same time etc. so that all the "body clocks" (apparently we have many, like for sleep, releasing hormones etc.) get in sync. So things like intermittent fasting kind of goes against that logic because it creates stress in the body. (Though I have read that intermittent fasting can be helpful to reset some of the body clocks, but I am still not sure how to best use it in our daily life. Islam, for example, prescribes monthly (full day) fasting every year, but because of the lunar calendar that is followed, this happens at different period every year. That's one established / tried and tested way of doing it "intermittently". Some sects of Christianity and Hinduism prescribe some particular days every year for fasting. That's another way old way of doing it. But is there a scientifically studied way or regimen in our modern times to do this safely and effectively?)
I've been thinking in this same direction. Especially the community-driven part. Google seems to be more interested in what corporations and advertisers want, rather than what users want. With their tendency to crowd-source their AI training, I'm surprised they don't let users vote on search results.

If I were to make a search engine, I'd definitely give users more control over their results. Block crap sites, vote up your favourite sites, vote down questionable sites, maybe different context profiles, because if you're searching for Java in the context of vacation or news events you want different results than if you're searching for it in a programming context.

There's so much that search could do better than what Google is doing, but I'm not doing it because it's way too much work, and it requires serious resources to index everything.
One would say the demographics definitely overlap ;)
I am less than well-informed on the subject, but isn't NVM in general already part of the memory hierarchy? For example, I saw many NVM options available for the Framework laptop.

You can certainly have your opinions. They just aren't very relevant when the entire premise of this discussion is false. This clearly isn't being reported by a US or UK mainstream publication but what looks like a one man operation in Japan. This is very much the problem with hijacking discussion. Not only is there little to no context but the participants get so excited that they can't fact check even the two lines of justification.
What if you limit accounts to real people and then keep track of their credibility? It's some initial effort but how could the ranking be manipulated when all dishonest people have burned their credibility?
FM is no more complicated than AM to transmit and receive.

Simple FM discriminators for receivers like pulse counters only require a few components. On the transmit side, it's a lot easier getting decent high power modulation on an FM transmitter than an AM one. The AM transmitter you tend to have to modulate the power to the final amplifier which requires huge great obsolete tubes running in semi-linear modes. The FM one you do the modulation further up the chain, be that at one end something digital or just a simple varactor and the final amps work entirely outside the linear region meaning low power dissipation with filtering on the output. Cheaper and simpler.

Agree with digital radio concerns. That's absolutely no good for anyone.

Analog may be king but don't be too romantic about it. If you've ever actually done any operating on any analogue radios you'll know what I mean. I spent 20 years designing and building them for fun.

His opinion is built around one assumption --- that battery technology will remain stagnant and not advance much beyond lithium ion for the forseeable future.

Or "A mac is not for someone who isn't comfortable with hidden system files".

While I mostly agree with your overview, the OP pointed out that this article came from within Russia. Going back decades, Russians have felt some intimidation at the thought of superior Western arms technology. I read an interview with a Russian field officer who indicated that this technological edge is very much on their minds in Ukraine. So, it may be that Russians are also intended targets of this hype.

This comment seems almost right. The author implicitly declares the existence of "memetic inoculation" as something they're describing, although they didn't specify cases where it becomes difficult to separate a bad idea from a bad description of an idea.

As someone else pointed out, crypto is an example where there are obviously good and bad ideas: using cryptography for distributed and decentralized contracts is a at the very least quite intriguing. Using crypto for a scam is quite a bad idea.

But, then there are ideas that are really good, but who's outworkings are usually described poorly. Take Emacs as an example. "text editor that does everything, including email, accounting, browsing the web, file management, and much more" sounds like a bad idea to anyone with a modicum of appreciation for the Unix Philosophy. "An app that makes programming and using practical text-oriented, highly-integrative applications in Lisp" is a better description of what Emacs really is.

Notice that in the former case, crypto and scams using crypto are two distinctly different ideas. In the latter case, we have two descriptions of essentially the same thing, which was an implementation of the modern idea of Emacs, which is factually a Lisp interpreter with built in text display. Those two descriptions could in theory be the basis for creating different apps, and they'd probably look quite different.

Your use case is for developers, and as above, I agree that CLI is easier for that demographic. I am referring to the people between developers and "only ever use browsers." For them I strongly disagree with the notion of telling them to blindly copy and paste sudo commands into terminal. And if the implication is that they should just become proficient with using terminal, then I strongly disagree with anyone having to learn a new skill to install and configure apps and services. We have easy, well tested and well adopted conventions for software now. It's time to accept what is, instead of fighting for what you think others should like.
