Jakt looks very much like Swift. Objects are reference counted, structs are always value types, all function arguments require labels, no semicolons.. it's clear that Kling has worked for Apple.

I like the language! It is so much more readable than Rust. I might switch from Rust to Jakt once version 1.0 has been published.
Interesting, so if I run SD on a server in the UK, would the images technically be generated in the UK?
Wages tend to be set by "the market," not by how much money the company is making. Companies will pay as little as they can get away with, maybe a tiny bit more than their competitors, but that's it.

I work in a company where employees are distributed globally. Certain timezone and language coverage is needed. Guess what? The employees that live in low cost-of-living areas get paid less money for doing literally the same work. On one hand, it's nice that the company acknowledges rent/mortgages cost more in certain areas and that will eat into employees' paychecks, but on the other hand, it is painfully clear that the value I produce for my company is hardly related to my paycheck. My paycheck is determined by what similar workers in my field are being paid in my area. That's it.

Ah, that's the sketchy-at-best popular description of entanglement rather than anything to do with this experiment in particular. It's wrong in that it's meant for a lay audience, and to a lay audience (I think I've heard that the quantum folks define it differently?) the word "affect" implies things like causality and information transfer.

> Terraform really brought everything together in an absolutely brainless mechanism

Understanding Terraform's limitations and being able to work around it in a way that is both readable and scalable is most definitely not brainless. Sure, I can write some .tf files to spin up an EKS cluster pretty easily. Load balancer? I can also do that in Terraform, or I can let the cluster manage its own. Uh-oh, a fork. Which one is better? What if I want to have multiple AWS accounts; how do I properly delegate IAM permissions across them? Etc.

> when all facts came to light

Maybe you meant it harmlessly, but this phrase sets off my BS detector. It's invariably used to excuse bad behavior by people who knew better but pretended otherwise for political gain. It conflates when you personally learned the facts with when the involved parties learned the facts.

See also: "no one knew Kyle Rittenhouse didn't murder a bunch of black people in a crowd until these facts came to light in the trial!" or "we didn't know that the Biden laptop was real until these facts came to light in 2022!" or "we didn't know the lab leak was a real possibility until new facts came to light!"
In each case, the facts were already there for everyone to see, they were just ignored for political reasons until it was too late.
> You’re saying it’s their fault for not testing their app on a pre-release OS that breaks the app.

The notice doesn’t say that iOS 16 breaks the app. It’s extremely unlikely that it does, unless they’re using private APIs (bad), or they’ve hardcoded an “iOS 15 or lower” version check (bad).

What the notice does say is “we couldn’t be bothered to test the app with iOS 16, even though it’s been available to developers for months”.

Thinking about it more, Daniel Lemire publishes very applied algorithmic stuff: https://lemire.me/en/#publications

A lot of his work is in the journal "Experimental Algorithmics", so I guess there are a substantial number of people working in this way. I don't know this field very well, and I don't know if there are general principles that have been extracted from their work.
Do you happen to know what each of the ten things mentioned are relative to the same subsidies in other industries? I am inclined to agree with you but I haven't done the due dilligence on what each thing is, why it makes sense o&g get it and where this policy is evenly applied to other industries based on, for example, high capex rather than because it is o&g explicitly. If you are willing, a sentence or two per point summary of what you discovered would really help me point out where the environmental nut jobs are being environmental nut jobs and where they have a point when talking to other people.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie and found myself grinning ear to ear when it was done as I was describing it to my wife. She had been working while I watched so we plan to cue it up again and see it together.

I felt totally entertained at the conclusion. I even watched the credits roll.

Many of the CGI effects were pretty obvious but it made the movie more watchable in my opinion. The blending of real action with fake enhanced the ability to tell the story. It was great.

Kudos to all involved in this epic!
I never said that Apple didn’t have any security issues. But by definition if you have a smaller attack area, you have less chances of security vulnerabilities. You don’t have to worry about an old forgotten part of the code that was just there to support 32 big apps from iOS 1 have lingering bugs.

Like every other film industry, Bollywood movies also have a indie counterpart. I've seen quite a few, though it might not translate very well to a watcher who is not familiar with the cultural context for the movies.

Still if you want a list of movies which are "serious" but still approachable enough (i.e doesn't gaze at it's own asshole) and fairly new, I do have a few recommendations -

Udaan, Kahaani, Satya, Maqbool, Khosla's Nest, Masaan, Detective Byomkesh Bakshy, Gangs of Wasseypur, Johhny Gaddar, Kaminey, Black Friday (2004), Aaranya Kaandam (not bollywood)

This list isn't some exhaustive "greatest" ever, just some oddball movies which stick out in my head.

Also keep it in mind this is just the list of Hindi/Bollywood movies which were historically known as "Indian" movies. Other regions of the country have their own list of favorites.

Most of it is administered by the government and the government manages the profits. It is ultimately His Majesty's government.

The royal family gets some of it in their personal coffers, and it's a nontrivial sum, but it wouldn't fix the UK's financial problems all in one swoop to take it. And it would come at a cost of a significant amount of prestige and tourism dollars. It might be a net gain, but most people in the UK feel that it wouldn't be worth the cost to their nation identity.

Many in the UK want the opposite of nationalization. They want to sell off major government properties to private owners, and let capitalism do the work. This isn't quite a majority opinion but it has strong support (and bitter opposition).
My bank, too, has been struggling with app updates to the point that sometimes I can’t accomplish a simple task like checking my credit card transactions. It’s so infuriating that companies in particular (let’s say critical) domains are allowed to reach rock bottom levels of app quality. As a consumer, this is a horrible position to be in - changing banks is not straightforward, and the alternatives are not much better.

There is quite a gap between the incumbents and “neo banks” in CH.

Neo banks are more modern and convenient but only compared to traditional banks within CH: spotty online bills support, no twint (or prepay twint), money transfers only occur once a day at 10am on banking days, customer service open from 9 to 5… Banks in CH are hilariously bad (and expensive), and it’s a shock because you always have this image that Switzerland banks must be amazing. Nope, far from it.

The Zuck was in the just got lucky category. Facebook was the right product at the right time and he wouldn't be able to recreate that again. Look at all the garbage churn his company has spat out. It's only the acquisitions that have been successful and he spend a lot to buy the majority of stuff that totally failed.

Google is exactly the same. Apart from search then really the only thing they got lucky with was gmail. The rest is a graveyard of garbage.
From the abstract:

> Parameters for the model are estimated from literature examples of known scandals, and the factors influencing conspiracy success and failure are explored.

I've only read the abstract so far, so it might be they try to account for this - but I think they are at risk of being hit by some version of the "WW2 aircraft" problem if they only use historical data.

Basically, if you say, "all historical conspiracies eventually were exposed" than that's sort of a truism - if they weren't exposed, we wouldn't know about them.

In the same sense, if you make a statistical model about conspiracies and only base it on the conspiracies that became historically known, you're sort of biasing your data towards failed conspiracies. That might lead you to underestimate what kind of conspiracies are possible that just successfully managed to keep secrecy.

Of course the other extreme is just as bad. You can always say "well that's what they want you to think / well they are just that good at hiding..." at which point your actual conspiracy theory becomes unfalsifiable.
The EU is like a bunch of children who just realized they have the power to make rules.

Their over exuberance in wanting to push through idiotic regulation that serves as nothing more than a burden on innovation is the stuff of legend. It is no wonder that even with all the genius talent in the continent, it is very hard to find a handful of large, successful tech companies as we do see in Asia or the Americas.

The older bureaucrats need to either get out of the way or wisen up to the period of change the world is going through. Acts such as these will seem intelligent in the short term as they add to the revenue of legacy industry that the EU seems intent on protecting, but the costs to economic growth in the long run from the missed opportunities of investing and nurturing smart talent is going to be too costly to bear.

I'm hopeful that the EU will see the error of their ways, it would be too much of a shame to watch all the intelligent people there suffer on account of yet another short sighted political decision such as this.

It’s very unusual for major technical reworks to be required as a result of a new version of iOS unless you’re using APIs that have been deprecated for a long, long time and have been kicking the can of migrating to the new APIs down the road for years.
It's HN++.
Ridiculous.

First, try to imagine the form this ban would take. Think about the specific language required to abolish proof-of-work computations without kneecapping the foundations of modern cryptography. I have yet to see anything remotely specific and plausible.

Second, let's say said language can be constructed and that it threads the proverbial needle. Who cares? Its effect on Bitcoin would be to drive mining to other political jurisdictions. But electricity costs and political actions have been doing that for years now.

If anything, a successful ban would merely further distribute proof-of-work mining around the globe and among clandestine operations within countries that have "banned" it. By making proof-of-work untenable at scale, governments will have only succeeded in setting Bitcoin back on its original path - greater distribution of hash power across a greater chunk of the world's geography and political boundaries.

Cranshaw mentions "tens of hours of downtime" as a drawback. Given that downtime sometime corresponds with times of high load aka, the really important times, that's going to be a deal killer for most.

But his architecture does seem to be consistent with a "minutes of downtime" model. He's using AWS, and has his database on a separate EBS volume with a sane backup strategy. So he's not manually fixing servers, and has reasonable migration routes for most disaster scenarios.

Except for PBKAC, which is what really kills most servers. And HA servers are more vulnerable to that, since they're more complicated.
Elon Musk can solve this.

He could just tweet how easy it is to lobby for electric vehicles and how he will spend a fraction of his money maybe a couple billions on lobbying. Maybe name a specific senate he may or may not donate to. He could specify donald trump or a certain republican senate for maximum impact.

There's no need to spend anything.

There will be a push to ban political donation immediately.

It's funny, because the former is also the most accessible kind of neighborhood for people of all ages and abilities. It doesn't matter if little Johnny or grandma can't drive, they can just walk to the grocery store to run errands or the coffee shop to get some coffee; they're fully independent.
