Banning the world champion is a farce and so long as he resigns individual games instead of dropping out and thus affecting other players he can knock himself
out.
That's hilarious. I rewatched the video, and the text labels like "HOSTAGE_COMPLY_FEMALE" seem to correspond to placeholders for what the NPCs would say, rather than describing their state. Although to be fair, the whole point of voiceovers (and many other gameplay features) is to convey the game state to the player. That said, that's not even remotely close to what was in watch dogs, which more akin to random factoids about a NPC (eg. "has dog as a pet")
Thanks for the link! I agree there needs to be many more safeguards from cheating but I'm really not behind Magnuson on this one. Poor sportsmanship at the very least going on.
> The reason parents in the US tend to have children with "achievement mindset" is because the culture itself rewards and favors achievements instead of growth.

Self-confidence comes from achievement; there's no conflict between the two. That's again my distinction between culture (emulation, "you must achieve lots", which leads to burnt out kids) and psychology ("I'm confident in my abilities; I can achieve what I want if I work hard at it"). High-confidence kids will inherently want to achieve. There's no conflict; studies show that Asian kids have more of a growth mindset than other kids. Conditioning parental love to achievement is what's unnecesary and harmful.

And I think my reply to another commenter addresses the "culture-psychology" distinction better. I'm talking about cultural change meant to improve the psychological nurturance-level of families, schools, communities, which I call "psychological change" as shorthand. I'm criticizing cultural change that's psychologically illiterate, and treats the problems it solves as cultural problems rather than psychological problems. "Teach men not to rape", for example, is cultural change that completely ignores all psychological dimensions ("rape culture", i.e. trivializing sexual assault, is just a symptom of emotionally unhealthy people, not a cause). Same with the ADL's pyramid of hate, that sees "fear of difference" and "lack of self-reflection on privilege" as the root causes, when the real problems are emotional and psychological problems within society (lack of empathy) that lead to hate and bigotry.

Cultural change needs to be deeply informed by psychology to be effective. People are emotionally unhealthy, and the culture reflects that. Culture is downstream from psychology. Cultural change can address it, but only by causing psycohlogical change, not merely cultural change. Re-analyzing the examples above: reacting to bigoted people with hatred and ostracism is just another symptom our low-nurturance society. It's cultural change without psychological change. Buddhists had it right all along. Is that clearer?

iPhones had adhesive pull tabs for years now. You really did not need heat and force for that unless you ripped it.

And even if you did rip those tabs IPA does much better job of un-adhering the battery as you really don't want to use excessive force on lithium pouch cells unless you like your repair job to get "fast & furious" :-)

Stable Diffusion only cost $600k to train. It's hardly Big Money, and for those $600k you have a revolution in digital art, image processing, stock photo generation, FUN, etc. taking place right now that is insane, and it has only been around for a few weeks!

Btw neither OpenAI nor Stability have at any point suggested that this technology was intended to "cut humans from the loop". These are just new tools. What we do with them is up to us but they are certainly useful and inspiring.

Apple pushes back harder. I fully support industry-wide regulation of software distribution and app storefronts, none of FAANG should be passed-over here. Google also deserves to be hit equally as hard as Apple, but it probably won't hurt as much since the Play Store does not monopolize software distribution on Android.
The bottleneck was mobile web standards and mobile hardware, and not entirely Adobe's own mistakes.

With Flash, they controlled the underlying tech and could roll out features when they wanted. With Animate, they could not control browser support for things like 60fps CSS3 animations. Understandably, they were probably also bleeding many users who simply chose to go to native development instead of waiting for a potentially half-assed web solution.

It's 2022 and Apple barely has any support for PWAs. They only indicated that Flash-like projects should be rebuilt in HTML5. They never said the
Frankly--as someone at the front line of all of this stuff--none of these DMCA related arguments have much "practical" importance in the medium-to-long term :/. (This is not at all to say it is a waste of time or anything: the right to examine products and discuss what you learn is really really important and is the basis of security research, so these lawsuits are extremely important and this DMCA law--which likely will only ever die due to first amendment issues because it is locked in via international treaty--is extremely harmful.)

The reality is that tech companies are winning this war, technologically, because asymmetric cryptography works--so there isn't some secret key embedded in the devices that you can merely extract and use--and the industry is getting better about not causing regressions. The big battle over unlocking cellphones from 5-10 years ago? That was nothing more than a gambit (which worked, btw) to change the process rules, because no one is actually using technological techniques to supply unlock codes anyway (it is now all via, shall we say... "light corporate espionage" ;P).

In a world where I am allowed to make a jailbreak that doesn't mean I can make a jailbreak, as we can see in the war with Apple: the reason there aren't jailbreaks for modern iPhones right now isn't because of DMCA fears. We live in an awkward time where bugs can be features :(. The real "practical" changes are thereby going to have to come from proactive regulation that prohibits certain forms of protection or corporate behavior, not attempts to defend the rights of users to publish what they can find and build. I would more watch Right to Repair, or the various antitrust lawsuits (including my related Apple one).

(Note: I know I didn't directly tackle whether anything anyone is doing might help you backup your streaming licensed content, but I also appreciate you didn't directly ask me anyway ;P. I have not heard of such, but I don't pay as much attention to that kind of content. The issue in Green and Huang's cases, though, is about being able to publish information and tools that might help you rip such content, and the reality is you can likely already do that and to the extent to which people start only letting locked down devices with encrypted cables access content, I think you will see companies win that in the next 5-10 years and the legality of publishing a workaround won't matter as there won't be any workarounds to publish. And whether it is legal to do that backup for content no one even pretended you can "buy" seems orthogonal to the efforts I have seen or been involved with.)
Doesn't it? Product A is bad, thus use Product B. That's how most of my problems with different products are solved.
halving wages by itself, im not sure. if apple decided to take an 80% cut of app sales in their walled garden and made it unprofitable to develop apps there for indie developers, would they be liable for some people not being able to make a living off their platform? do we even know that tech companies are not taking advantage with current wages. apple makes $400k profit per employee, etc.

these gig economies owe their entire existence as a direct result of being mediated as walled gardens. if uber's app vanished tomorrow, so would millions of gig jobs.

but not hiring each other's workers, yes. and in general, price fixing and anti-colluding laws should be enforced to ensure a competative market.

Manufacturing Consent outlines how this propaganda model works. It was written 40 years ago but honestly nothing has changed, mass media still decides what topics are presented to the public as they've always done. Think of all the wars happening in the world today, and the ones we see a lot of information about versus the one where there is almost no information about what is happening at all.
it really is just the foreign aspect of it. the meta apps, google apps, uber, etc all do the exact same things. They just aren't owned by a foreign nation
>and I'm not really interested in hearing that my own experience with it working well is a lie or some trick.

Your own experiences with it aren't a lie, but they're probably based around ignoring the last 20-30 years of advancements, and ignoring many actual statements from the X11 developers saying that it's bad for remoting.

>Wayland gives up some things

Well in the case of X11 fowarding, no it doesn't. That still works.

>Also, those of us who use non-mainstream window managers (such as Window Maker) are not interested in hearing that we should switch to some UI which doesn't support our workflow just because it's more fashionable these days.

By insisting on using these obscure, non-mainstream and under-maintained environments you are setting yourself up for an extraordinary amount of pain for very little benefit. The more time you spend avoiding the issue the harder it gets to figure out how to adapt your workflow to something else. I'm sure you understand that more deeply than anyone else here. So why keep up with the charade? It is not doing you any favors. At some point we have to let bad habits die.
These loans are given with a relatively high interest rate versus the borrower's credit history. When the models are created they include a default rate. If they give enough of them then they will be profitable even if a few people decide not to pay.

It's sad to say but ultimately the extra few inches will make a difference in lifetime pay. Going from say, 5'8" to 5'11" is a great difference so to many it's a simple decision to do it. Short men do have a hard time in our society. Discrimination against them is so common that I don't think people can even perceive that they are doing it. Additionally, many become permanent butt of jokes which has to be hard on the ego.
Not only that - people use them in textual communication the way letters traditionally are used. There is probably a lot better argument for emoiji than a lot of other things in unicode (but it is a slippery slope)

CoreML being a phone feature, then restricting it behind a paywall sounds like something customers would sue apple for. CoreML is already bundled in the price you pay when you purchase an iPhone. It will only work as a cloud service.

It looks like it's limited to the very recent past. Apparently the creation of highly coordinated propaganda efforts by the US government dates back to World War I, and there were similar British and German programs of the same era:

> "Once the United States had entered the war, the U.S. government saw a need formally to enter the propaganda arena. The U.S. Committee on Public Information (CPI) was created to both centralize wartime communication and avoid restrictive European-style censorship... the CPI labored to create a homogeneous public opinion that accepted the war as a struggle of good versus evil waged to promote democracy around the world. The list of promotional activities undertaken by the Committee is impressive: a vast system of news handouts for journalists, tens of millions of copies of its pamphlets, wide circulation of war posters, several films, millions of advertisements donated by business organizations, war expositions in several states, "Americanization" Committees for each ethnic minority group, and 75,000 Four Minute Men speakers, who presented short appeals between features at the nation's movie houses. Through the work of the CPI, the official view of a just and idealistic war became ever present."

History's judgement of WWI is varied, but many think it was entirely avoidable, and that the imperial desire by the 'Great Powers' (Britain, France, Germany, Russia) to control as many shipping and rail routes as possible, as well as oil fields and other overseas resources, was the main driving force behind the conflict, and diplomatic talks could have avoided the war.

Trying to sell WWI as a war to prop up the British and French imperial projects, as well as to help keep the Russian czar in power, would not have been so easy.
The "core problem" isn't Apple's rate - they're free to charge whatever they want. The real issue is that the App Store has no competition, so Apple could charge 90% and developers would have no choice but to abide or abandon the platform.
> If you follow Powell's original comments that raise all that recent ire, you could see how those could be easily construed as "Lets crash the economy"

Sure, I can see how it can be construed that way. I think a broader reading of what Powell is saying would lead you to "let's bring inflation under control, even though it means crashing the economy". That's quite different from "Lets crash the economy so that companies can keep their leverage."

I think the Powell comments you quote later indicate that he'd prefer to get inflation under control without crashing the economy, if possible.

The comments from business leaders don't impress me. Of course they want businesses to go back to having the leverage.

Apple started offering home repair kits for iPhone this year, but they’re super difficult to use: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/25/technology/personaltech/a...
There’s speculation that offering the kits is an attempt to head off right-to-repair legislation.

This comment, and those like it, are proof to me that there’s a large contingent of folks who don’t actually care about the repairability of iPhones, they just want to take shots at BigCos.

So it’s not enough that Apple is doing what y’all asked for. It has to be for the right reasons, too. Anything less than ideological purity —- to be defined and re-defined endlessly —- no sale.

That’s a fine take in itself, but I’d wish we could dispense with the disingenuousness once and for all.
FWIIW I advocated for external review of security critical dependencies and hired external firms for this long before I started my own firm.

The ROI is not having your company ended by someone malicious that reviewed that code before someone acting in your interest does. That said, I normally work with companies that -really- need users to trust their security practices so this can become a sales and marketing win. When competitors are forced to admit they do not review the code that handles customer data or money, and you do because it is obviously the responsible thing to do... it helps customers choose you.

As to your practical example question, many companies depend on Terraform, for example. Until I reviewed the AWS password generation function it was producing passwords seeded by the current time. An attacker that knew what time an account was created had a path to guessing the password.

Do we find things this impactful super often? No. But when we do find them all of our clients can get early warning and be recommended general practices that avoid this type of issue entirely.

We have also privately exploited supply chain attacks when legally possible more than once as demonstrations for our clients.

Researchers did a scan of all npm packages who have maintainer email addresses with expired domains. AKA packages anyone can buy their way into control of.

Thousands of them. I bought the maintainer email domain of the NPM foreach package just to prove a point.

Generally though we spend most of our time doing blue team work. If you architect your application well with well placed secure enclaves you can get away with any single system or human being comprised without a loss of user data or funds. Then it becomes possible to more freely use libraries and move fast in other parts of your stack with lower risk.

I'd like to share a memory as a currently serving US military officer:

At the height of our operations in Iraq, around 2006-2007, the main killer of our troops was of course "roadside bombs." In a candid talk with my class of cadets at that time, I remember a senior officer (a conventional infantry or artillery guy) telling us that the top priority had to be reducing this specific threat, above all the stated goals of our mission. His reasoning was that, although we knew roadside bombs were not going to tactically defeat any unit larger than a platoon, the deaths were eroding the American public's support of our operations and would ultimately force us to withdraw and abandon all of the stated goals.

He was right, but I remember feeling uncomfortable with his thinking. It wasn't outright psychological operations against Americans, and I'm sure he wasn't tasked with that nor thinking of it that way, but it was trying to influence the opinion of American civilians who are supposed to be in control of the military. Of course public affairs stuff and reports to congress, while meant to inform, are also usually crafted to influence. Anyway, this is how it starts, and I'm not sure it's obvious when a line is crossed.
The "Time flies..." quote is commonly ascribed to Groucho Marx.
