If I were reviewing a system design, yes, with js, I'd still like a sequence diagram. I'd just indicate that ordering may not be exact between certain bands of requests. I model concurrent systems all the time in sequence (ish) diagrams.

I want to know that action X will trigger N calls and those calls call service foo and bar, and that foo then calls out to its data store and eventually returns something and service bar calls services raz and quux and those each fist call a caching service before going to their data stores. All requests eventually return (in the happy path). Now, as a reviewer, I can quickly see what talks to what and why that call happens and I can ask more intelligent questions like what happens if a cache hit happens when the data store has been updated.

What do you prefer?
Is there something in this regulation that says it can never be changed to something else in the future? Why do you assume USB-C will remain the standard for all future? Seems likely if something else pops up in 2030 that is way better, there is nothing to suggest a new regulation couldn't be made.

I've been having immense fun with SD in the past few days, but I think you're right. Prompt "engineering" is educated guesses plus experience, a good way to get a good (txt2img) image seems to be to iterate on prompts until something promising appears then leaving it to churn out 50 similar images with varying parameters.

Using the "by {artistname}" string in prompts does seem to produce a lot of stuff which could potentially be copyright violation - it'll even output a signature/initials fairly frequently.

In the next year or two I'm sure we'll see some a refined version of something like img2img integrated into Photoshop, maybe Adobe will finally justify their "Cloud" approach with a big stack of GPUs in a data center.
It seems rust syntax is more complex than C4738974389, and may require some specific runtime (the syntax can do a "heavy free" in your back if I am not too much mistaken), hence you would need more time and effort to write a naive rust compiler.

That said, in linux, it will be, probably, rust with tons of extensions, so more time and effort to write such a naive rust compiler. I hope it won't be the case, and Linus T. will care.

In a sane world, linux rust code should compile with a simple, self-compiling with minimal SDK, rust-written rust compilers. Are we is such a sane world?

And yes, rust syntax is still billions of times less toxic than c++ syntax.

IIRC, premium was a large part of the reason behind those wacky auto-generated kids streams that was in the news a couple years ago. Parents don't want their kids watching ads, so a good number of kids have premium accounts. Premium pays a lot better than ads, so targeting kids can be quite lucrative.

The NSA, etc. is not Google. What about the Constitution?
I'm sure people have opposite stories where instead of a quick dismissal they received attitude, general harassment, or escalation.

Small "crimes" like stealing streetcar fare are sought out not because of the crime itself but because the more contact points people have with police the more people are arrested. There is probably an overlap of people who steal streetcar fare and people who are harboring small amounts of narcotics etc etc.

Just like in America we're pulled over on the road for the most benign things just so there's contact with the police, which leads to a higher rate of convictions.

I was doing self-checkout at Walmart and the dumb machine thought I stole something I had already scanned, lo and behold an officer appears out of the shadows with a general attitude at me as if I was trying to pull off the grand-heist of stealing GREEN ONIONS.

I personally think law-abiding people have a right to limited contact with police.
How did South Korea become such a world power?
I always suck in some way so I am always improving. But a better question is "what do I enjoy?" and that is infosec stuff and they actually pay me to do it lol.

Even if you are never good at something, you should enjoy the things you suck at instead of be miserable trying to be good at things you don't even like.

I was very good at biology, it was effortless and natural. But more school and messing with people's meat was all too gross.

I suppose the sweet spot is when you are tolerably competent at something and you also really enjoy that thing.
How will they figure out that there is a better standard in the future? Certainly not with a study in the EU.

They're going to have to send investigators to more advanced foreign countries to figure out what charger to use.
It's at the extreme end of the scale and will depend on your personality. Keep in mind that with 35K and no professional obligations you can do all of the following easily without any sacrifice in terms of leisure or family time or even energy levels:

- Shop around for healthy food at bargain prices

- Learn how to cook well and make the most of all that food

- Learn and have the time to fix 90% of maintenance issues

- Have the time and energy for sports and exercise

- Can dedicate more time to your family, kids need fewer toys because they have their father or mother back

- Travel for VERY cheap and you now have the time to actually do it at any time

- No longer a need to buy status or social class signaling goods because you no longer need to deal with professional expectations and setting a good impression in the minds of people you don't actually like

- Learn personal finance and your local legal system to maximize every drop

- No longer a need to buy things that make you cope with stress or long hours or even regular hours doing stuff you don't want to do

- As a corollary to the above, fewer risks of health issues, obesity, posture problems, alcoholism or self-medication, sleep disorders, psychological disorders, etc.

- Engage in creative pursuits

- Might no longer need a car in the traditional sense

To me that sounds like a better life than that of 99% of people who have ever lived. Now remember that we are talking about jobs and salaries for which a 4% rule at 70k or more is extremely doable. Which means you can not only have the life I just described but can also pay for your kid's education and the occasional health scare.
I've often thought about it, but I'm not surprised that there is a way to figure it out with big tech involved.

It pretty much starts at 0 seconds in. The first few lines lines of dialogue have more substance than the entire plot of most other games. Not because they're particularly deep, or evocative, but because of how they tie into the themes, story, and gameplay of the game.

In regards to the side quests, I've never looked at them in much detail. The gameplay they put your through is largely the worst you'll find in the game, which is why I said they're there to pad time. Automata is a very short game if you just go from set piece to set piece. Nier: Gestalt/Replicant was the same way.
And yet, every time GitHub Copilot comes up, people on HN are in arms about their code being used to train a model.
There is no reason the EU can't upgrade to a new standard, or the USB consortium can't create a backward compatible upgrade. My USB 1.0 keyboard from long ago still works, BTW.

Meanwhile, I have a box full of chargers for all kinds of old stuff. Replacing them all with 1 standard is great. And USB is doing just that, not only for cell phones but for all kinds of gadgets. Even if I only require an USB micro and an USB C charger, that's a ton of chargers not in my house, and a ton of time not hunting around for the right one.

The main problem here is Apple. The EU went to all cellphone makers and told them to either agree to a standard voluntarily, or the EU would decide from them. This kind of process is quite normal for technology decisions in europe, BTW. Most manufacturers agreed on an USB variant( might have been micro at the time, don't know if C already existed ). Apple refused to join the club or come with an other acceptable proposal.

I like music. Music makes bad money. I'm not good at music. I don't look for music jobs.

Even with a subscription to Amazon Prime, Netflix, Disney+, Crunchyroll, Nebula, CuriosityStream, I still can't watch everything, and in fact, I've got less choice than even the local library offers in physical media.

And while I'd like to watch Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, it's currently not available at all in Germany, not even if I wanted to pay money. Paramount removed most Star Trek content from other streaming services, but their own service does not launch in Germany until 2023, and even then only as part of a very expensive bundle with Sky's football and other properties.

Additionally, when watching TV via DVB-T, only public broadcasters can be watched, as none of the private channels broadcast via DVB-T anymore.
Currently Apple sells new iPhone 12s, a 3 year old "design".

Starting 2024, they'll have to only sell phones with USB-C in the EU.

Assuming the iPhone 15 has USB-C, where does that leave the previous generations that they keep selling for new?

Do they:

1. Stop selling anything but the 15 in the EU?

2. Make a change to all new iPhones, even 13, 14, SE to:

2.1 Take out the port completely and leave it portless, with Magsafe for charging

2.2 Change the 13, 14 and SE designs to USB-C just for the EU?

My guess is as a drop-in replacement for GIF; use the <img> element instead of the more complicated <video> element, an inherent lack of audio, no need to specify looping or lack of video controls, etc.

I think Safari already supports using at least one actual video format as the `src` in an <img> element but it's weird to do so.

VisualWorks was probably way different. But I've heard "Smalltalk had no source files, it stored all its program source in the image" enough times in a variety of contexts that I felt the need to address it.
This I really don't get. It reads as though you're saying that non-apple cables are cheaper and better, and also that mandating USB-C is valuable because it means you don't have to buy cables from apple.

The dates don’t match for this explanation.
I've worked with two engineers, at a FAANG, who could not function without UML diagramming and generating their code. Both were 100% convinced that the only way anybody could write working systems was UML. So my teams got very little from those SWEs because nobody was willing to boil the ocean redesigning everything around UML code generation. They have together collected at least $3m in salary, bonus and equity over the last decade.
The point is, any / all data collection is - or should be - suspect. Today's benevolent actor is tomorrow's victim of a hack, or simply changes their spots. Furthermore, even data that is positioned as harmless (i.e., phone call metadata) can tell stories.

Finally, per "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism" (and others) these minor privacy infringements add up and is used against us.

There's no such thing as no threat.
This is what I find most short-sighted about this. I swear the typical connectors I use for electronics have changed several times over the last decade alone (mini USB, micro USB, USB-C). The idea that innovation in this space is done seems optimistic to me. So now every few years do we just need to hope the EU will update it's laws in a timely manner so we can get better connectors for our electronics?

I think people are downvoting you because they missed the mistake in the press release, so it sounds like you were claiming super determinism is the definitive theory
Not necessarily. In principle, there could exist a super-deterministic theory that predicts phenomena that QM does not. None has been invented so far, but in general the idea of super-determinism has received little attention, so that is not surprising.

This may (or may not) change with work by Gerard t'Hooft and others.
VLC is fantastic but I haven't used it in a long time. I switched to MPC-HC. I found that the built-in codecs VLC used were not the best.
This year Apple removed another long standing port from their devices. This time around it was the sim tray.

Apple is going completely portless with their devices.

By the time this law is in effect there will be no external ports on Apples devices.

Anyone want to take bets on whether Apple introduces its own wireless charging standard at that time or the following year?
> This kind of process is quite normal for technology decisions in europe, BTW.

Europe is technologically backwards. They got destroyed by Shenzhen and Silicon Valley because their bureaucrats keep rolling in with this sort of idiocy. They feel a need to bring this backseat design process because their local companies aren't up to the challenge of competing with more-nimble American megacorporations.

Their phone company (Nokia) was the market leader until they got wrecked by an inability to innovate. This policy will make that outcome even more likely for European companies.

Then to add insult to injury, Huawei comes along and showed that they could operate at any standard you care to ask them to. If you get outcompeted by authoritarians and communists, it is worth asking what is wrong with your economic policies.
