> Compromising the banking app on my phone. Or my PC. Or my router. Or any of the other non-100% secure devices and processes I use to get through my life. There's basic security precautions, and there's living in fear and paranoia, brought on by a misunderstanding of the threats you are facing.

If you think the risks to your privacy and security are remotely equivalent with a PC and a cell phone I'd argue that you're the one who is misunderstanding the threats you are facing. It is possible that your PC is no more secure than your phone, but that'd be uncommon and your own failing.

You can be responsible and secure a PC pretty well, but there is nothing you can do to prevent a functional cell phone from collecting extremely sensitive data and leaking it like a sieve.
You’re right, it was more like those small whiteboards everyone had on their door at my university. I remember having poke wars, too.

I just built a rig with a Romed8-2T as well. I got pcie 3 16x risers and zip-tied them above the tower into a rack shelf above it. It's super ghetto, and I can't believe it works, but it totally does. I'm hosting on vast.ai hoping someone will train with my 4-6 3090s, but everyone wants their large language models and image generation models that require more than the 24GB of RAM. shrug

Maybe some day I'll use it myself to train my plastic surgery outcome estimation visualization GAN or diffusion model if I can figure out how to fine-tune one.

People on enthusiast forums are now talking about buying 1.2kW+ power supplies for the new generation of nvidia cards. I don't think you can point at one or the other as bad here.
on macos you can install fonts and put them in categories. so i can have a category called “web fonts”. anytime i wanna pick fonts in other apps i’ll just look through my favorite categories instead of the whole fonts book.
There was an article about a homeowner in SF who had a curb cut but was recently denied the ability to park in their (paved) “yard” anymore due to code. They were looking for historical photos of a car in that spot from 80-100 years ago so they could get grandfathered in
The problem isn't really purging Nazis per se, it's the sleight of hand that Russian propagandists use at the last minute to switch "Nazis" with "Ukrainians" or "Ukrainian government".

In the abstract, sure, we all want to purge Nazis. But not if you're saying Nazis == Ukrainians. If you defined Nazis to mean Putin's Wagner Group (headed by a guy with SS tattoo), then sure, I'd agree.

What's so cynical about all this is how they've undermined our language and our ability to talk about fascism (as exemplified by modern Russia) by coopting the linguistic tools that we use (the word Nazi) to do so. It's depressingly effective propaganda.

You go to hell and back thinking you have a broken disaster and come out beautifully the other side.
Most of the work on delayed gratification has been shown to not be measuring capacity for that but instead trust in potential future gains and personal security.

What the government could do to enable what you’ve called out is help ensure more people meet the necessary lower levels of Maslow’s hierarchy so that when kids show up to stuff marshmallows in their mouths they can feel secure enough in the probable truth of the statements and even simply the return of the researcher to assign any probability to the appearance of a second marshmallow.

Step one is something like don’t let babies be raised in abandoned projects where everything they have gets stolen regularly from before they can remember.
> Especially if "toxic femininity" isn't commonly referenced in the same context- because without it, a concept targeting only masculinity is biased in my view.

Why is that? To me, it seems like you're saying masculinity diametrically opposes femininity.

> Just because it has become recently politically fashionable to discount it, does not mean it is harmful.

I agree that masculinity in itself is not harmful. I believe you are conflating the specific term "toxic masculinity" with masculinity in general, though. I also believe that there are toxic aspects to masculinity that absolutely cause harm in many facets of life; for example, educational barriers, suicide rate, mental illness, and incarceration are all much higher in the male population. I don't think that these are aspects of masculinity that one must accept hand-in-hand with the benefits (earnings potential, proportion of leadership positions, etc). I would call these aspects of masculinity toxic.

> To make a blanket statement on the concept is just plain silly, in my view. Human emotions, cultures, and societies are not static.

To the extreme, this means nothing concrete can be said about human emotions, culture, and societies. I know you don't believe that.

But you raise an interesting possibility; did the modern notion of masculinity always exist? If, say, a past society (or modern, non-Western culture) achieved lower suicide rates in teenage boys, would it not be worth studying how those societies treated masculinity?

> Therefore any sort of claim by any institution that their <some number> of years of study results in <some outcome> which speaks for <some absolute phenomena> in my opinion, again, is just plain silly.

Would it help to point out that these studies have scientific methodologies; for example, they measure different treatment outcomes among a large and diverse enough population such that a statistical conclusion can be made?

> And it attempts to gatekeep healthy masculinity- again, pure silliness which demonstrates the nanny mentality of those who attempt such gatekeeping.

That's certainly a take I didn't get from reading the publication. The APA doesn't seem to be under the delusion that they can control how masculinity is viewed in society, anyway. To me, they have identified evidentiary harms caused to society as a whole through the negative conditioning of boys, given that conditioning a name that you disagree with, and have measured successful results by directly addressing that conditioning in psychological assessments. I am struggling to see a downside here.

Combined with the EVGA news, when can I expect GPU prices to fall? I gave up trying to build a new gaming rig after all the 30xx series scalping.
It happened with routers, the OpenWRT project is a result of GPL enforcement against Linksys. There is no reason the same can't happen with TVs and other devices. If the company can't comply with the GPL, then at minimum the lawsuit could be transferred to the suppliers, or at worst the company can stop using Linux and other software they violate the licenses of. There are plenty of non-copyleft or proprietary projects they can use too. Whatever software Vizio use that isn't subject to GPL requirements can be rewritten or replaced with other components. The main thing is that the GPL code get released.
Wow that's so true. You're right on the money. They fucked and prostituted reddit.
The thing that boggles my mind in regard to this is that they don’t take them to an impound lot. In Australia, if your car is towed someone then has custody of it. I guess initially the “courtesy” part is that it’s meant to be easily findable. But it sounds like having a centralised place where you can get your car and you won’t get fined sounds like less effort the the “helpful” solution.

If the local government can’t afford to tow cars to an impound lot and pay those fees, then they can’t afford to have local events. This is simply a case of having your cake and eating it too. Local government wants all the benefits of having events with none of the negatives (like actually planning and being responsible).

I actually don’t understand why there is no system where a note is issued by the tower that informs whoever that this car was moved as part of a courtesy tow and it is not subject to fines. I don’t mean a centralised system, I mean a sticker you can just bang on there. There should also be an option where you could call the DMV and they can “page” the owner to advise them were their car is located if someone is being inconvenienced by an unwanted car that has been towed.

There are so many simple options that won’t fix the issue but at least prevent it from being hellish. The fact that nothing has been done makes me feel like this is actually quite intentional on part of the parking authority for revenue reasons.
For cars, I much prefer getting on a wait list and paying MSRP than having to pay some huge markup.

We’ve been waiting on a Bronco since late 2020. Got bumped to a 2022 model year which is now built and on a train to the dealer.

Yeah, we could have had one sooner for like a 50-100% markup… rather wait.

As someone has already pointed out, unlike web fonts, SVGs can be used as inline resources.

It's not just icon fonts though, using web fonts themselves can lead to bad design practices.

> It's called security theatre.

This isn't security theater. Security theater has to be in your face. Security theater is pageantry, but no substance. Security theater is has no impact on your safety, but makes people feel safer by providing the illusion of security.

This is substantial, has been being done without most Americans being aware of it, and it doesn't make anyone feel safer, but it still has a huge impact on your safety. It makes you less safe.

This is just a gross violation of our constitutional rights.
I agree with this sentence, but I wasn't thinking of whatever philanthropy he may be up to.

From what I read, the reason Bankman-Fried is not an ordinary crypto dude is because he's a quant educated in cutthroat conventional finance who sees crypto as a huge green-field opportunity without being hypnotized by it.

Bankman-Fried should team up with Milton Friedman's grandson, Patri Friedman, and start the "Bankman-Fried Friedman Bank".

This will not work for web fonts that are required license. For example, the commercial font served by MyFonts by Monotype. The license term clearly stated that every time when the font is loaded, the counting system increase and incurred a cost to the owner.

Agreed. It's been like 7 years since icon fonts were recommended and it's a real shame I still regularly see people do it today.
You dont just need easy to verify, you need easy to fairly distribute the problem instances.

Take primes. How do you know the person generated new primes and didnt just have a bunch saved up? With hashes you have to hash the current block which is unpredictable, and also means as time goes on it gets harder and harder to have a competing chain, because you dont just have to solve the current block but also be better for all the preceeding chains.

Additionally NP-complete problems are hard because the average complexity tends not to be super hard, which is a major sticking point in this application. So you have to somehow verify the person is solving a hard instance of the problem and not an easy instance.
There's vast.ai, but you get paid in USD.
You can't use QUIC without CA based TLS. There do not exist CAs run by human persons that have root certs in popular browers. They are all run by incorporated entities. It is bad that a human person trying to connect to another human person cannot do so without the continuing approval of a third party corporate person.

For companies and institutions this requirement makes perfect sense. It's a great protocol for doing business. But for human people it introduces yet another layer of centralizing complexity for legal and social pressures to be applied and abuses to be enforced. It also makes setting up a webserver even more complex forcing more centralization in hosting. And not that anyone cares, but you can't legally use QUIC over amateur radio like you can HTTP or even HTTPS with a null cypher self signed cert.

I appreciate the way you understand the terminology. However, I'm not sure everyone else understands it the same way. Although, I do admit the terms can be confusing.

You're interpreting "acquire" as "purchase", but "acquire" just means "acquire." You, as the majority shareholders of a company, are perfectly within your rights to give your equity in the corporation you own, to another corporation, as a gift or donation. (Or, if you like, "for consideration" of $1.)

And make no mistake, that's already exactly what's being proposed here, in making EVGA an employee-owned corporation: a gift of equity from the current shareholders, to a set of new shareholders.

The only difference in what I'm describing is that there's a trust / holding corporation in between the givers and the recipients.

Bitcoin is using a different hash function. Bitcoin uses sha, which is easy to implement more efficiently in fgpa and asic, which blows gpus out of the world.

Eth thought that was a bad thing, so chose an algorithm that was intentionally difficult to implement in asic. They thought having gpus be the most efficient platform would be more decentralized and be more one person one vote compared to asics. As a result people use gpus for eth.
This is a very shortsighted view from developer who forget a web page is not only a bunch of text. Designer also play an important role to provide the subtle design element that developers don't value.

By blocking all web fonts and fallback to only system font, you may still be able to read the text, but will completely missed the design.

Finding prime numbers, even very large ones, is neither difficult nor useful; there are simple algorithms for determining the primality of a number which don't require extraordinary amounts of computing power to execute.

Even factoring large semiprimes isn't inherently useful -- it's an interesting mathematical exercise, but isn't a goal unto itself.

I see. I was talking specifically about x86 here (and the conventions of mainstream OSes hosted on it); obviously, every platform is unique.

It looks like on arm, the high bit of an address is used as a special marker to indicate which translation table should be used to look up the rest of the address.

Another semi-aside: The term "censor transactions" needs to be abandoned, because it accepts the whole "money is speech" nonsense at face value.

I'm willing to begrudgingly accept "money spent to effect speech is speech" but no further. The vast majority of crypto transactions do not fall within that narrow bucket, and using the word "censor" to refer to reversing them with a 51% attack is propaganda.
> provide the subtle design element that developers don't value

Does anybody apart from designers actually care?
Please don't use TTFs for your webfonts. They are far too big for the task and the optimized option, WOFF2, is so well supported that barring a future formats, I would consider all other formats deprecated for the web—don't even host them or include them in @font-face.
and exactly how large of a download would be "download entire font library"? all that just to use one font? that's like downloading an entire JS library to use one thing from it if not worse.
The marketing screenshots aren't too attractive honestly. It seriously seems to be lacking in consistent margins and padding. Look at the menu bar for example-- those icons are far too large for the space they fill. They look super cramped.

This is, somehow, typical in most Linux software I've used. They just don't care. :/
Rather much more than that, sadly. Would be much more tolerable if it was just that.
True, but I believe the point is that the author is willing to sacrifice this for speed and privacy. Many who are privacy-conscious generally don't care about design and are prioritized on functionality and data safety. That's not to say design isn't important. I love apps and sites that follow fluid and modern UX, I just see it as second underneath privacy.
You can literally do all of that with SVGs sprites when the fill is set to currentColor.
In the last couple of years, we have been quite supply constrained on the GPU front, so it probably actually has caused some short-term hinderance. I think in the long-term though, your view probably makes more sense, like how funding science helps with proliferating technology in industry
“The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.”

First thing I thought of when I read EVGA didn't get 30XX drivers until they were public was how Apple drops breaking updates on users and most developers same day.

It's crazy how poorly some companies treat their partners. Take Microsoft in stark contrast to Apple. They aren't perfect but I, as an END USER, have access to major Windows updates 6-12+ months before they are rolled out. New major versions of .Net are in pre-release almost as soon as the current major version drops.

Apple drops OSX/iOS updates on their consumers and developers same day leaving everyone scrambling to add new requirements, re-compile, and submit updates to the app store. Apple drops freaking M1 on the market and the bulk their developers same day.
