Is this just anti-Apple nonsense, trolling, or do you really believe that Apple would add an iCloud requirement to enable auth via fingerprint reader (an authentication method that already works for many other things without an iCloud subscription)?
RV is already taking over the downmarket in embedded, and moving upmarket from there. There's no reason why they couldn't repeat this in other device classes, including mobile.
Ahh... I read another comment about alternative sources for clock signals and assumed the article was referring to the use of quartz crystals used in occillators.
> they also managed to invent moveable type which was ineffectual and thus discarded - but Gutenberg gets the attribution?

Gutenberg gets the attribution because, not only does he appear to be the first person to use a press for printing, but also he developed a new way of producing metal type for printing and invented a new alloy for type. This is a rather dramatic leap forward in the history of printing in much the same way as HMS Dreadnought was for naval warships or especially Stephenson's Rocket was for locomotives.
I think this has much to do with certain parties controlling most of the dataflow for NA rail freight moves. Definitely a problem on the ocean and in the port terminals as well. We should chat!
The catholic Counter-Reformation was equally enthusiastic about burning witches, particularly in Southern Germany.
I would say learning about any form of computing not related to Unix. Many of us old-timers grew up using systems (both home and corporate) that weren't variations of Unix, and I feel like CS education is turning into a Unix mono-culture these days. User interfaces from things like VAX, Apple ][, IBM Mainframes, etc. The file system on macOS 8/9 which didn't use paths and has always allowed spaces in names because it isn't interacted with via command line, for example. The VAX file system that automatically versioned documents without the user needing to worry about it. (I think the Apple Lisa did something like this, too.)

Don't get me wrong - there's a lot of bad ideas in those systems, too. (Like why do I have to use "RUN" vs. "BRUN" on the Apple ][ depending on what type of program it is?) But finding and promoting the better ideas and teaching young people about them is, I think , important and risks being lost otherwise.

Learning about failures from older systems is always interesting, too. Why couldn't Atari and Amiga compete against Apple and Microsoft, for example? I think things like that are important to understand going forward, too.
I am sure it is great, but it feels so overwhelming! I tried it a few times and I just get lost in it
It's actually very easy on linux now: You just use the two -sk key types released in Feb 2020 https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.2

`ssh-keygen -t ed25516-sk` or `ecdsa-sk` and then you touch your yubikey when unlocking the key, the same time as you would type a password.

Question for anyone else reading: Does it make sense to use a password with -sk keys? I don't think it would make a difference either way.
We’ll see how much people like you are “winning” when this planet is a molten wasteland once the gravy train runs out.

People that care about tech built the very device you are using to communicate at light speed, not people who care about money. You can care about tech and also solve problems. Money and wealth impede this pursuit.

The problem is, people who care about tech and solving problems don’t assassinate leaders when they become a threat to money and property, whereas people like you do. Because it threatens your profits.

On this world, you reap what you sow. I wish the direction was different but with the direction we are all headed thanks to greed, your children or children’s children will be boiling alive — all because you’re “winning” and “guiding civilization”. Right off a cliff.

Removing money is removing an impediment to a post-scarcity society. Money artificially generates scarcity in post-scarcity. It also embeds society to be unchanging in service of those with money (who, after a certain threshold of wealth, never ever run out of it by making capital “work” for them generationally). It creates a class of people who get to fail upwards. “Poor guy’s company failed. Let’s throw him a $2m salary and get him back on his feet”.

Some of the most incompetent people get rewarded for who they know, instead of what they know and what true value they bring. That is what money has devolved into. This results in anyone with true value having little to no motivation or interest in “solving problems”. Why solve problems when people who haven’t had a fraction of your struggle will exploit all your value for themselves? Will make the world a worse place for everyone else but themselves and who they know? Who will sell out all of humanity to make their own lives better?

The amount of inefficiency and suffering money brings is incalculable. Anyone who has spent some time talking with real people can clearly see this. Only people with spoons up their asses in an insulated, fake micro-society could possibly think otherwise.

All of us should be working to make it so people like you don’t matter. Total automation up and down the stack of resource acquisition, processing, and distribution — owned by noone (and everyone). Automated satiation of every conscious beings needs and wants irrespective of their origins. Maximization of health, quality of life, quality of experience, and a place for everyone. This and so much more is what money denies us all. And it cannot come about as long as their is asymmetrical ownership, because the people who can build it have no real incentive to. Why automate yourself out of a job? Why automate your fellow man out of having a home, food, healthcare? Anyone with a conscious withholds total automation under this mechanism of society.

I for the life of me cannot comprehend how anyone can look at their fellow man, with the same evolutionary brains, and be okay with their impoverished suffering. Can live in opulence via exploitation and turning a blind eye. I pity the people who can live that way. You are very, very stuck in a spiritual prison, and it will take a long time to liberate you from it.
True it was a long-run entry but short-run denial. Although I would call being refused entry for the express reason of denial, followed by a reversal of the decision as a denial + a delay + an acceptance in the country. A right delayed is a right denied and all that, especially if it was delayed for the express purpose of indefinite denial.
If this works in humans it would be a huge game changer.

My wife and I had children as a result of a surrogate, I have actually wondered about the possibility of an animal surrogate for a human pregnancy.
Thank you, Aaron.
Oh damn, I hit a nerve, huh?

Not trolling, I am serious. It took Peter freakin Scholze to finally settle the debate over Mochizuki's work. What came out of it? What else could Scholze have been working on instead of spending time finding the incredibly subtle gaps in logic that he used to construct his false theory?

What Mochizuki did was wrong is because he was utterly uncooperative with the mathematics community, he would answer questions only with more papers that never addressed the concerns being raised, and he was offended that so much scrutiny was applied.

Has Nick made an effort to educate people on the incredible breakthrough he has made? How many lectures has he given on it? Any conference videos on YouTube? Because I'll watch them. Mochi is an extreme example, so I'm sure he's not trying to do anything wrong. He should just retract the paper and keep working on it. An interested volunteer can tell him what is specifically wrong, and that's all that needs to happen.
Doesn't work properly here, I get a very local IPv6, then one row of stars, then the third hop is the destination?

% traceroute6 -w1 cv6.poinsignon.org
traceroute to cv6.poinsignon.org (2001:bc8:3eff:c0::ff), 30 hops max, 80 byte packets
1 2a01:x:x:x::1 (2a01:x:x:x::1) 0.794 ms 0.913 ms 0.737 ms
2 * * *
3 2001:bc8:3eff::1 (2001:bc8:3eff::1) 39.555 ms 39.668 ms 39.560 ms

Not sure why "traceroute6" stops at the "...::1" but "mtr" shows an equivalent 3-hop route but actually shows "...::ff" for the third and final hop? (Edit: Using "-I" with "traceroute6" makes the third and final hop also show up as "::ff". Strange that ICMP vs UDP would give different IP addresses for the final hop?)
Whatever was lost is pretty easy to find. Just put some time on your calendar and call your friends.
Isn’t the inverse also true? That the contractor is incentivized to create extra work or drag things out when charging hourly? I suppose deadlines mitigate this…
The ability to efficiently create energy anywhere and the maximum level of power that can be output seem critical.

Creating energy, but only in specific locations, doesn't have the broader social impact.

And similarly, many applications require a minimum level of power (say, 2x horse) before they're fundamentally transformed.

The industrial revolution was, from my perspective, an ouroboros of the means to produce power increasing our means to produce those means, and out of novel raw materials.

These things are all on the radar of "innovation" types. I don't mean to say they're not interesting, but in the area of applied ML all this stuff is basically as mainstream as it comes (despite being unsupported by any actual research advances).
Respectfully disagree. Maybe in less-populated areas, but nowhere near Manhattan. The able-bodied can get anywhere on the train, taxis are abundant, cars are a luxury, and congestion is such a problem the city is seriously weighing a $23 fee just to drive into Manhattan.

Yep, either Hebrew or Arabic would be my choice. Both are relatively well-structured and have existed for a very long time. Arabic has the advantage of having a larger number of users/speakers.

If you come to NL recruited by a company (as an employee), you'll probably be a "highly skilled migrant" and have the benefit of the 30% ruling - https://www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/en/individual...

This essentially means that 30% of your income will not be taxed. This makes a huge difference! Unfortunately, it does not apply if you are self-employed. The 30% benefit also only lasts a few years. I believe the duration has been shortened in the last couple of years, and now has a maximum of 5 years. Stay longer, and you'll be paying proper Dutch level taxes.

As for the car, there are a few good hourly car sharing services. However, those aren't useful if you live in a village where no such cars are near.
hear hear, my desktop died a few months back and I keep waiting for exactly this to build a new one. it always seems like it's going to be right around the corner but still, no such luck…
But it’s not really the same. Having private key material in the secure enclave means that it’s not extractable (except perhaps by state-level attackers with hardware access). With an SSH private key in 1Password there are still many possible software-level attack vectors (vulnerabilities in 1Password, a compromised 1Password update, etc.).

I found Toki Pona to be way too simple and there's too much ambiguity. It's a neat idea though. I like Esperanto better.
They like four-character abbreviations a lot (obviously you have 四字熟語, but most onomatopoeia are four kana, and a lot of other emphatic words are four kana). I was watching a let's play YouTuber who started referring to Breath of the Wild as ブレワイ (burewai).

They should not be lumping ketamine in with all the other psychedelics which act on the serotonin 2A receptor. I’m hesitant to say ketamine is a psychedelic at all.

Regardless, I find .25 mg of Klonopin can get rid of my depression as well, they’ve known for a long time that depression has a strong linked glutamate excitation in certain parts of the brain.

That’s often a good way, but not necessarily the best one. On my computer with Zen3 CPU, cvtdq2ps and cvttps2dq have 3 cycles of latency each, divps up to 10 cycles, results in 16 CPU cycles in total.

When the divisor’s the same for all lanes and known at compile time, there’re tricks to reduce division to a single integer multiplication, and a few extra cheap instructions like shifts and additions. Usually faster than 16 cycles. Here’s an example, automagically made by clang 13: https://godbolt.org/z/T4TKb7oov
When you say "regardless of structure" -- if it's a relational database, that inherently implies a set structure. Or did you mean the information is consistent enough to be represented in one relational structure, but is presented in the PDFs in different formats?

I'm fairly sure that checkm8 doesn't affect apple silicon macs.
A beautifully draughty schematic or plan is something to behold - with carefully considered weight of line, and perfectly executed detailing. This can absolutely achieved with 2D CAD draughting, and is indeed quicker than hand draughting, but with that productivity gain, thinking time is reduced. The knock on effect is timescales for project completion are lost, then everything becomes a kt of parts and looks the same. This has been worsened, IMHO especially in architecture, by BIM tools like Revit and ArchiCAD. There are an awful lot of "Revity" buildings going up...
I think the idea is that is certainly feasible for an alien civilization to go from steam power to fission in under 200 years. What makes it a "great filter" in my mind that the idea that the climate change clock might start ticking long before they are aware of it and that there could be a hard time limit.

Most other possible filters aren't as tricky. Sure stars explode, planets get hit by asteroids, and species go extinct, but those are pretty much chance events.
Agree except for being "boring". I don't see educational games in anyway as boring. If you (reader, not iammjm) see it as boring, you are not the right person to build it.
Work is being done in this area, but it doesn't move as fast as people would think. Milwaukee is doing a lot of electric/battery tool development that replaces/enhances gas tools, and there are new construction methods that take time to be adopted.

Two off-hand that I can think of are "cast and move" bridges and hollowcore.

Construction moves very slowly because of the permitting process and the equipment investments. You also have to deal with the realities - if you build a standard house via the methods everyone around you uses, you'll have no problem finding people to perform maintenance on it. If you build it differently, people may not know how to deal with it, even if the method is technically better.

Many "US builders" are stealing techniques from Europe and vice versa.
I mostly agree except that I'm not sure I'd say its very challenging technically. The logical design itself that I've seen is mostly extremely simple, just extensive. Verif is a bit fiddly but not really that hard, compared to e.g. writing a compiler or automating GUI testing. I don't know anything about physical design though; maybe that's really hard?

I 100% agree with your other points though. It costs an absolute fortune, and everyone always underestimates the software effort. It's probably 5-10x the hardware effort, depending on what your chip does.

Also another thing I didn't anticipate is how backwards all the tooling and people are in the chip design space. CI is a novel concept. I'm sure there are companies not using version control. Everything runs on TCL which is on par with BASIC. SystemVerilog is not a good language (though it does at least have an amazing reference manual). The standard verification method (UVM) is ok from an actual verification point of view but basically a who's who of worst practices from a programming point of view.

Maybe it's different elsewhere but I was amazed how much convincing I had to do to get people to adopt practices that are just taken for granted in the software world, like auto-formatters. There are a lot of luddites.

The only "ok this is actually pretty good" thing I've seen is formal verification which is basically magic.
> "16% of all hosting nodes (a category that makes up 62% of all nodes by network type) are hosted with Hetzner—10% of all nodes. If 10% of all Ethereum nodes being supported by one company sounds awfully centralized to you, wait til you hear that 30% run on Amazon services."

A real problem for decentralization proponents: there's always a positive return to scale somewhere, which will tend to suck everything back into a center. So you get "decentralization" which is just labels over AWS. Or Bitcoin converging on a shrinking number of pools.
I imagine before it hits any markets (if ever of course) refinements would increase the recharge cycle limit somewhat. They used to be lower on lithium, too. We used to use NiCad and NiMH too. I'm just saying that level of heat is not a deal killer for a fixed position residential application.
I agree about the picture quality, it's just too convenient to have a good-enough camera in my pocket, and I'll suffer with proprietary drivers if that's what it takes right now. I have to ask about banking and government apps, though.

Here most (all?) banks still allow web access with 2FA through SMS or a physical key. Has that been phased out in Sweden? Our e-government services likewise have multiple authentication options, with a phone app, smartcard, USB key or other proprietary dongle serving as the second factor. I'm pretty sure this is implemented according to some EU standards, is this not the case elsewhere?

I actually got a free USB and NFC FIDO 2-certified key as part of a promo, which I use for government services. I know it's not a panacea, but I trust it more than my smartphone.
Happily the exploit doesn’t exist in any of the arm macs.

That said the checkm8 exploit requires (as far as I’m aware) physical access to the target device, which is a fairly constrained attack vector for any real world attack. Obviously if you are at risk of such attacks though then your risk profile is _vastly_ different and the steps you need to take are also different.
xerox PARC is working on this
How does the slower process lead to a superior result, exactly? Are there designs that modern CAD systems can't achieve that the older process could? If so, perhaps it would be more practical to focus on closing that gap by improving our modern tooling.

Related tangent - I'd love to see more games (whether or not explicitly "educational") that are more collaborative and less focused on violence. I remember playing GTA and enjoying its then-new (to me, at least) open-world dynamics and imagining a more peaceful version or mode where you'd play the role of an EMT or field surgeon, running around helping people and saving lives or something.
I tried this just over a year ago, but it is quite flakey. IIRC because of how PAM works, you have to wait until this PAM module times out before you can switch to another form of authentication. (E.g. because fingerprint authentication fails.)
I would use the idiom "sana sanaa vastaan", i.e. "word against word" for that situation.
While critical mass of population seems to be an important part, I feel like there are a fair number of other things that have to be in place to make it more economical to mine deeply.

Then there's the next step Bret discusses: the Newcomen engine apparently worked well enough for mining purposes that the next big improvement took 50 years and then it was James Watt that got involved.

"It is particularly remarkable here how much of these conditions are unique to Britain: it has to be coal, coal has to have massive economic demand (to create the demand for pumping water out of coal mines) and then there needs to be massive demand for spinning (so you need a huge textile export industry fueled both by domestic wool production and the cotton spoils of empire) and a device to manage the conversion of rotational energy into spun thread. I’ve left this bit out for space, but you also need a major incentive for the design of pressure-cylinders (which, in the event, was the demand for better siege cannon) because of how that dovetails with developing better cylinders for steam engines."
> Though I also wonder how relatively useful they would be as warships absent cannons.

Without cannons, maneuvering becomes a lot more important because you rely on either ramming the enemy, or pulling up alongside them and boarding them (or both.) These tactics favor rowed galleys, which can sprint quick for short distances and don't depend on the wind.

Even after the invention and proliferation of cannon, navies and pirates in the Med continued to use rowed galleys, direct descendants of ancient triremes, through the middle ages into the 18th century.
Katakana are used for far more than loan words, loan words is just the first example you learn when you first start learning Japanese.

Among many other stylistic uses, katakana are often used for native onomatopoeia and are used to write native words all the time (usually in cases where the kanji is either not well-known or to give a different feeling to the sentence -- ズルい is a good example of this).
I want to add to it that Finnish doesn’t actually have cases.

It’s just the equivalent of cases which takes the shape of suffixes.

Note that our personal pronouns also take the shape of suffixes in Finnish:

taloni (my house)
talossani (in my house)

They’re really not cases.
