Are you honestly suggesting that we place photovoltaics (which perform worse when they get hot, and can only absorb a narrow spectrum of the energy emitted by the reactor) inside a fusion reactor instead of using a very well understood and efficient heat -> electricity technology (steam)? I'm pretty certain they would just simply melt at the temperatures that a tokamak is subjected to, even if there weren't other issues with efficiency.
You need to get the idea out of your head that "monopoly" means literally has no competitor.
For some reason they patched one and only one actively exploited bug in iOS 12. They did not patch the bug in iOS 13 or iOS 14. iOS 14 hasn't received any security updates since October 2021. It's been even longer for iOS 13. And also for iOS 12, except for that one unusual patch. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222

We can't treat the exception as the rule. It would be misleading to claim that Apple is still supporting iOS 12, or 13, or 14. Every other security patch in iOS 15 has been left vulnerable in pre-15 versions.
I get that, but I meant how often does it introduce bugs in the situation the OP mentioned, using it for "a language or framework you don't usually use", where I won't know if it looks right or not because I'm unfamiliar. Are they going back to fix the code often?

Personally, I don't even rely on normal autocomplete very much when I code because I feel like if I don't know what I'm trying to call, then I don't know the language or library well enough, and it's best to go look at the documentation.

Is it still relevant after the coming ETH merge? The way I see it, if crypto moves to PoS, it becomes very centralized and simply a playground for whales. I see it as a Bitcoin (hard money) versus fiat currencies game, with crypto falling under "fiat".
> A huge integer will always consume a near-quadratic amount of CPU time in conversion to or from a base 10 (decimal) string with a large number of digits. No efficient algorithm exists to do otherwise.

I don’t believe that. I did a quick search and didn’t find much, but:

Let d_0, d_1, etc be decimal digits, little endian (so the number is d_0 + 10d_1, etc). The goal is to compute that quantity in binary.

The naive algorithm is to convert d_0 to binary. Then compute 10 in binary, multiply by d_1, and add it. Then multiply to compute 10^2 in binary, and accumulate 10^2 · d_2, and repeat. For n digits, there are n steps, and each step involves two multiplications by small factors and an addition. The overall time is O(n^2).

But I would try it differently. To convert 2n-digit number, first convert the first n digits to binary (recursively) and convert the second n digits to binary. Then multiple the second result by 10^n and add to the first result.

Let’s simplify this analysis by making n be a power of 2, so 2n = 2^k. Then the big powers of 10 are all 10 to a power of 2, so 10 needs to be squared k times. Additionally, there is one 2^k-digit multiplication, two 2^(k-1)-digit multiplications, four 2^(k-2)-digit multiplications, etc.

With FFT multiplication, multiplication is O(digits * poly(log(digits)), as is squaring. This will all add up to k levels of recursion, each acting on a total of 2^k or so bits, taking time O(2^k) times some log factors. This comes out to O(n · poly(log(n)).

I have not implemented this or done the math rigorously :)

Nobody cares about the processors themselves but they very much care what they do. One of the biggest things I constantly hear about from others with AirPods is that they connect seamlessly to all their Apple devices and switch automatically as they use them. That's only possible because of these chips.
I have a relative who was devoted to caring for her mother, and when people asked what she did, she said "I'm working for The Lord."

I'm not religious, myself, but I think that's a better way to think of it than dollars and cents, or the societal burden.

As for "voluntary" euthanasia: don't even start. There is no such thing. Your old father doesn't want to be a burden, but he's helpless, and it's all too easy to "convince" him to take the pill.

That looks like a canonical "how we are doing" for the trade. You may find it surprising that us civilians find that chart a bit tricky to understand.

The graph I was shown was more of a "lies to children" job (a Sir Terry Pratchett term for simplification of a concept to enable teaching to happen). It looked more like a somewhat lumpy y=a/log(bt) where a and b are not 1.

I'm just a simple IT bod what studied a fair bit of engineering and a smattering of science back in the day. That graph looks like it forgot to put it's bloody knickers on. The one in the paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/2105.10954.pdf is a bit closer to what I remember.

I do feel that we can relax the 25 year rule a bit these days. I think we can quite confidently allow 20 years and I'm quite cautiously going to suggest 15 instead.

How to Learn Modern Rust
The human-powered landspeed record was set in a recumbent bike. It was around 145km/hr. I think, for better or worse, the rules keep cycling an interesting sport. For example, if the tour de france allowed recumbent bikes the course would need to change massively to support anywhere near that speed safely. Crashes become far more deadly. Technology becomes far more critical than race strategy and individual rider performance. Races would be won on the flats instead of the hills. I think it'd be a less interesting sport altogether.

Triathlon is a good example of how small rule changes can drastically change the dynamics of a race. They relax a lot of the UCI rules such as by allowing aerobars, but as a result you can't safely allow drafting, and the bike component of the races become far more spread out than a cycling race would be with a lot less importance laying on attacking or defending a position and group strategy becomes nonexistent. Some of that is due to the fact that there's still a run to go afterwards, but I'm pretty sure the average person would find the bike component of a triathlon less interesting than a cycling race to watch.

For those who want it, as PaulDavisThe1st mentioned, we have stuff like TT races, recumbent TT races, velo, etc. There's a lot of options in cycling depending on the niche you like.
It's been ~a year. I can't remember. It usually had to do with the dreaded self referential structures, or interfacing with c libs.
The best algorithm isn't quadratic. It's M(n)log(n) where M(n) is the cost of your integer multiply (M(n) theoretically be as low as nlog(n), but in practice the best algorithms used are nlog(n)log(log(n))). Python just didn't bother to implement them.

Plato said the same thing about writing/reading killing people's ability to remember/speak.

> If men learn this, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls; they will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks. What you have discovered is a recipe not for memory, but for reminder. And it is no true wisdom that you offer your disciples, but only its semblance, for by telling them of many things without teaching them you will make them seem to know much, while for the most part they know nothing, and as men filled, not with wisdom, but with the conceit of wisdom, they will be a burden to their fellows.

the same was said about books, novellas, tv, movies, audio books, etc etc.

I read the book mentioned in the article after a suggestion here, and Marshall McLuhan said it much better and without the boomer resentment. the author was a student of McLuhans but failed to say something unique.
I wonder where the people behind this think it will end? On the surface, this appears like a libertarian attempt to dethrone governments and other authorities from having control over internet content. But what we have seen time and time again is that these things follow a cycle so predicable its almost boring:

(a) technologists break free of control and invent libertarian paradise
(b) criminals and other bad actors flock there
(c) governments create laws and regulations that make it either illegal
or practically so inconvenient to operate such services that nobody
can do it any more

In practical terms, what exact plan do they have when Web3 becomes a giant cess pool of child porn and underground illegal gambling and drug trading? Do they really think governments are going to say "Oh well we can't do anything about these 'unstoppable' domains so I guess child porn is ok now?".

Do they understand that the inevitable actions taken by government to regain control will end up over-reaching - almost by definition. The more resistent the libertarian paradise is to control, the more blunt and severe the response is going to be in regaining it.

The worst thing is, when the over-reach happens, it doesn't just affect thelibertarians; it wrecks every other valid use of the technology. Witness the sun setting on legal encryption as governments steadily outlaw it around the world.
Wish Brendan would start a team that would port features into servo/and nightly ;)
Firefox Telemetry shows Beta 104 users encountered stapling on 13.95% of TLS handshakes. [1]

The stapling telemetry is no longer turned on in Release [2], and even if it were, you have to do special things to look at Release data, but some years back (~2018 maybe?) I remember Release stapling was substantially lower than the more tech-savvy Beta and Nightly populations. Which is pretty normal, as tech-oriented sites are more likely to turn on advanced features.

> Engineers can build probabilistic models for patterns of pixel colors from one frame to the next. The models make it possible to calculate the Shannon entropy [...] That value tells you the limit of “lossless” compression — the absolute most the movie can be compressed before you start to lose information about its contents.

While this is generally true in practice, strictly speaking the shortest possible encoding of a sequence of bits could be smaller than this would suggest, since it's possible a pattern exists that has escaped notice.

For example: the first 10 billion digits of pi pass statistical tests for randomness, but can be generated by a short program which calculates them until the desired length is reached, in effect "compressing" them to the length of the generator program.

Because of considerations like this, Algorithmic Information Theory[1] equates the information content of a bit sequence with the length of the shortest program which will generate it - though this has the drawback of being generally uncomputable - an intriguingly different paradigm.

Sales taxes are wildly regressive. That is, they affect the poorest the most.
When they write "essentially on-line root certificates" they don't mean that they're literally on-line root certificates, because that's prohibited.

They're essentially on-line root certificates because they serve most of the function that such roots would serve if they were allowed. There aren't a bunch more available to replace them, so this means recovery now requires a key ceremony, figure on a week to a month to arrange that.

Whereas if you're able to "just" revoke 10 million end entity certificates you can recover immediately.
> It’s like suggesting to encrypt public keys.

Wouldn't that same argument suggest that that encrypted DNS queries should not be something one would want to use?

My point is - it's nothing like that, I'm sure that most people could think of at least one website at some point in their life where they'd want to keep the knowledge of them having an account with that website private.

> you personally need to report additional information for things like capital gains tax on asset sales

This part annoys me; when I would have RSU's vest, my broker would send me a 1095B(?) which plainly lists stock price at time of acquire and time of sale, and the gains, which for RSU's sold at time of vesting is 0

but for some reason I don't understand, they don't report the cost basis to the IRS, just the sale and price at time of acquire, so if you don't file your taxes to fill in that cost basis information, the IRS will cite you as having earned the entire sell cost of the stock!

This fucks up a lot of people new to tech/taxes, and I still haven't been able to find documentation on why they don't file the cost basis for you if they're reporting the sale anyway.

Sure, Android is useful as an option for companies that can't have vertically integrated products like Apple has but still want to be in business. It's also always good to have an open source alternative for niche projects or as an insurance against Apple going full 1984.

I don't have anything against Android, I'm happy it exists but I'm annoyed with the lack of polish of the products running it or the fragmentation they created.

Obesity may be caused by those 2 things, but those are not the only causes as your post implies.

An example: fast-food companies lobbied the government to allow Snap cards to be used for fast food. A Big Mac Meal costs $6 and contains 1080 calories according to Google. For $6, you can buy 3 cartons of eggs (Indiana). At 78 calories per egg, that's 2808 calories. So you can get 2.5x more calories from a healthy food like eggs rather than shitty food like a Big Mac meal.

I've heard people say "poor people are fatter because good food costs more money than crappy fast food". I don't believe that. I think many people are fat because they don't want to bother going to the grocery store and cooking. It's easier to eat shit food in a box and drink a soda or three.
Right. It's very commital, which I find a bit surprising.
> the "read/modify data" permission isn't getting removed by MV3?

The stated reason for the removal of the blocking webRequest API was to avoid broad permissions to read/modify data on all websites in the name of privacy/security.

What would be the point of still requiring those broad permissions while losing features and the ability to innovate on extension-side matching algorithms beyond what the declarativeNetRequest API allows?

The point is to show that if you respect the stated reasons for the declarativeNetRequest API deprecating the blocking webRequest API, that is what you get.

My understanding is that the quality of 16mm film was low enough that viewers could tell even over broadcast NTSC.

My iPhone 12 Pro feel way faster, especially Safari. Is it actually faster or are animations shorter? You know what? I don’t care. I like it.

Live tiles to show the status of a pizza delivery or something like that on my lock screen? Handy.

And none of that includes the stuff announced today for the new phones, like the notification/background changes that look nice.
