In summary, the Democrats are our salvation and have no faults according to your myopic response.

What about involving the United States in needless wars and now provoking a nuclear war? Or promising single payer only to provide a massive handout to private insurance companies? Or drag the country through constant investigations of political opponents based on false information from “intelligence” agencies? Or stabbing Bernie Sanders, who was the most electable candidate, in the back to support a corrupt, corporate drone, war monger candidate who just happens to be a woman?

Please take your head out of the sand and pay attention to more than the standard talking points fed to you by the main stream corporate media. It will be enlightening, but it will also be humbling. I was once in your shoes (to a much lesser degree), and it took quite some time to realize that both parties are not looking out for the rights of people other than the elite chosen ones.
Another way of framing it: you can now buy a bunch of stocks at a 90% discount :)

Of what little I have in my Fidelity account, literally everything's in the red (except, weirdly enough, the single AMC share I own). Doesn't bother me too much; just means I can get more bang for my buck right now. At some point that'll flip around (with inflation the way it is, there's certainly some investments that'll depreciate slower than the dollar over the next decade or so), so even if we ain't at the bottom of the market yet, I feel like now is the time to be squirreling away bits of pocket change here and there.

The sun is setting, and the night will be long and dark, but at some point the sun will rise, and now's the time to prepare for it.

...that, or it'll prematurely supernova, at which point stock prices would probably be among the least of our concerns.
"Most of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor" is 125mph rail. With rail of that quality, without many stops and without freight interrupting the schedule much, crossing the US could be a one day trip. NYC to LA is 2790 miles by freeway, so somewhere between 26-30 hours seems realistic (average speed 100±7mph).

And that's without even looking at 200mph+ rail.
It can be stored as heat in stone or sand. There are companies building and selling both solutions. They hold the heat for months, long enough to last through a winter.

Vimium C (https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c) supports link hinting by simply typing a few characters of the link you want to press. It also searches the actual url and alt-text for links without text (such as buttons and icons). I found it by accident looking through its settings and it has by far been the best improvement to my browsing experience since discovering tabs.
Hopefully I just missed it but I didn’t see one attribution to Jef or Aza Raskin or the Canon Cat. I find it very hard to believe the authors were not aware of that prior work.
> moving an hypothetical tactical nuclear bomb to Crimea or refresh troops is now much more difficult and dangerous

Eh, no, unfortunately not. Moving small numbers of small things is still easy. The big impact that this attack had is that moving lots and lots of very heavy things suddenly gets a lot harder.
He's not ruling out that, as the world becomes more hogenous, we might develop a global cultural identity and we might at some point want a global government.
Premise [1]: Anything uploaded to the cloud will be scanned for kiddy porn.

Corollary: There are precisely two places that this data can be scanned

1) On the cloud servers. Anything and everything uploaded can be pushed through a scanner and anything that matches is flagged and sent off to a human to (ugh!) verify before being sent on to 3-letter agencies.

2) Within the privacy of your own device, only on things that are uploaded. Anything that "hits" is flagged and the same process (ugh!) as above is followed.

This is not a false dichotomy. Once you accept that the scanning will happen (and it does), then it either happens at the source or at the destination. Right now everyone offering a cloud service scans at the destination (the cloud servers themselves), and everything is scanned. It is not possible to have e2e if the server can read the data to scan it - this ought to be obvious.

Apple was offering to not do that scanning in their domain, but to trust that the device could do it in your own private domain, and that could have led to no further requirement for the server-side to be able to read the data (to do the scan). Which could have led to a fully end-to-end encrypted service for data, while still helping prevent ugly crimes.

Users chose option (1), that is: scan everything uploaded on the server all the time and deny the ability for end-to-end encryption to occur.

This is why we can't have nice things.

-------------

[1]: This isn't quite a legal requirement, but every cloud service does it because the lawyers won't issue advice to CYA (cover your arse as the service provider) if you don't do it. To mount a successful defence against being sued, you need to make an effort to detect, seems to be the legal opinion.
This is absolutely fascinating. We are coming for you, Atlantis!

No? I’d like to think I’m not, generally speaking, that stupid, but I’ve certainly made profoundly stupid decisions, and I sure hope I’m not as much of an idiot as the most idiotic code I’ve ever written.

The hard boundary between criticism and personal attack, for me, lies precisely between saying someone’s work is unacceptable because they’re stupid and saying that work is unacceptable because it itself is stupid.

I can’t say it doesn’t matter at all who I’m speaking to. Most sharply, I’ve interacted with a person who regularly seemed wrong in simple ways when I was speaking to them, then several hours afterwards I realized their reasoning might not have been as careful as I’d have liked but is still most probably sound. A more generally applicable point is that I’m not going to let myself go all the way to loudly pointing to things on the blackboard when I’m teaching an introductory maths course, even though there definitely are people with whom I’ve interacted in that manner and walked away smarter for the experience. But at the end of the day, either I think you’re right or I don’t.

So if you think my code is idiotic, bloody well say so. It’s going to hurt a bit, but less than if I have to discover that over several polite-language roundtrips, or worse, through polite silence. You can’t make learning not hurt at all, better just get it over with.
If you want an x86 small form factor computer, you can get some from some vendors that have open source firmware on them. My home router is from Protectli which runs coreboot that is open source, instead of a standard bios.

https://protectli.com/kb/coreboot-build-guide/ - guide on how to build coreboot yourself. You can check out their homepage for the hardware they sell and that includes it.

https://www.coreboot.org/

It looks like the systems may still contain some binary blobs in Coreboot.
I have no interest in relitigating the saga or the recent Google incident. HN did that for months. I was simply agreeing with the irony.

We had no privacy before, it was offered, people freaked out, we have no privacy today.
I think this is incorrect. I believe most Steam releases do require the Steam runtime to be present. Trying to open the game directly will "work", but that's because it's invoking the Steam runtime - just without showing the launcher.

Examples:

* Dead Cells has Steam DRM: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Dead_Cells

* Hollow Knight does not (will run without Steam if you copy just the game files): https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Hollow_Knight
How does dtt differ from dft?
So great. “Uh-oh” for me was one of those Lovecraftian moments of unraveling.

The article mentions Clifford algebras, so while not the same, it is certainly related.

The reason seems obvious to me. Young people can no longer afford to buy a house. Young people have a much harder time achieving the American dream.

When I was in my late 20's, early 30's I was able to get married, buy a house and start a family. It was almost automatic. That's just what you did. I found out after buying my house that it turned me into an adult who was invested in the system. Home ownership feels like the bedrock for a stable and sane society. I worked hard to attain and keep what I achieved.

Today young people are priced out of the housing market and are hesitant to have kids because the future appears grim. Why get married under these conditions? Why work hard? There isn't much reward so it doesn't sense to waste your time that way.

I never hear my theory discussed by wealthy people and their publications because they'd rather blame it on something else, especially on young people themselves.
You make an NFT, and then you get a loan that you use to purchase the NFT, and if you don't repay the loan the owner gets to keep the NFT? It seems that you're financing the purchase of something you already owned. And of course the supposed financing is being done by this "pre-approved loan" which you tell us absolutely nothing about. What is that? A loan agreement? What does the agreement say and how is it enforced?
I just wanted to say, as someone who is now about in the middle of the average lifespan distribution, I find no compelling evidence that leads me to believe that the half of the age range that is older than I am is any wiser than the half of the age range that is younger than I am.

I don't know whether or not there should be bans on elderly politicians, but it would be very, very nice to have a stronger cultural pressure against old people trying to hang on to power so long past their expiration dates.
Looks like Perun may have had things sorted out. This week's presentation went live about an hour ago.
They're complete different classes of models.

The modeling system in the linked article is a high-fidelity numerical simulation of the coupled Earth system. It's a giant PDE solver for Navier-Stokes applied to the Earth's atmospheres and oceans, coupled together with a great deal of additional physics simulation. The intent is to reproduce, in simulation, the Earth's atmospheric and oceans with the highest fidelity. This set of simulations is the culmination of nearly 70 years of investment, going back to the very first applications of digital computers for solving complex math equations (one of the first simulations bought for ENIAC was a crude quasi-geostrophic atmospheric mode / weather forecast).

NVIDIA's FourCastNet, while very cool, is quite literally a facsimile of this type of system. It's really not even in the same ballpark.
Haha thanks, yep, that actually took quite a few takes to record, but couldn't help but smirk on every one. :)
> opportunities that progressed past that demo are much less than 50%

Any sense of what industry norms are? 50% sounds astonishingly high to me. For most products I would have expected a pre-sales demo to be a pretty early step. 50% basically means everyone you talk to is committed to buy something and is only looking at 2 vendors.

> A sheaf is not just a mathematical representational structure that provides a common ground among heterogeneous data sources, it is the canonical such structure: any principled specification of the interaction between heterogenous data sources will provably recapitulate some portion of sheaf theory [17]. The theory of sheaves is as foundational to heterogeneous data integration as function spaces are to the study of differential equations or as model theory is to logic. In contrast with previous approaches that leverage graph and network theory, sheaves allow simple, functorial interfaces that support natural multiscale reasoning about their structure.
The Enhancer for YouTube extension does this for ads, hence it's conceivable that you could do the same. The problem is that someone who cared enough about this would have to go through and watch this with the parts they hate still in. Good luck solving that part of the problem :D
My advice would be to get a real industrial computer running Linux instead of relying on consumer electronics.
The Dutch East/West India companies were quite large and influential. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Empire
Primarily because I don't remember the dates that coincided with the industrial revolution and mass production of cigarettes, alongside demonstrative analytics. I thought 100 years ago was a decent starting point for data.

I do remember that the first major pandemic of lung cancer started in the 1920s and the first controlled study of Cigarettes involvement with Lung cancer started in the 1950s - Hill & Doll in the US. A parallel study was started in 1951 in Britain, which ended in 2001.

Prior to that, cancer was routinely written up in case studies and submitted to journals as interesting medical cases.
Awesome, works now =)
That wasn't what Apple was proposing though, they were quite clear [1] that it would be a human making the call to notify authorities, and only after a scoring algorithm had passed a threshold set pretty high (expected to be a trillion-to-one against false positives).

We have a saying in my country: the best sailors are on the shore giving advice to captain on the boat.' Sure, they might have taken inflation more serious earlier and dramatically raised rates. Guess who would have been blamed for the subsequent recession and being branded as too afraid of a little bit.of inflation?
That could work, and is nice because it is possible to do just the statusline or thereabouts. But rnu for columns would be even nicer
>HIPAA applies specifically to covered entities under its law. Its basically health care providers and health insurance companies. If you aren't one of those covered entities and youre not telling that info to a covered entity, there is no PHI.

An excellent point. Which is why I don't share my Fitbit data (uninstalled the app after set up, no syncing of data) with Fitbit (now Google) and will (assuming it works as advertised) likely be moving to a MiBand with GadgetBridge[0] in the near future. And thanks to vanous[1] for posting[2] here about it a couple weeks ago.

I have no interest in sharing my health (exercise regimes, sleep cycles, heart rate, etc.) information with folks whose raison d'etre is to snarf up as much data as possible. What's more, since these folks aren't "covered entities" under HIPAA, they aren't required to put in the special safeguards for your health data.

And more's the pity.

You're right, though guidelines should not be substituted for critical thinking ;)
Is an APT-owned server a significantly different risk than an APT-owned desktop? They are both inside your house.
I was also surprised by this. 300K nodes for a distributed DB is kind of crazy. I’ve worked with similar systems but they stored much more than 100 PB with 10x less nodes

Apple is using less than one TB per server…

But when you see the 1000s of clusters it starts to make sense. They probably have a Cassandra cluster as their default storage for any use case and each one probably requires at least 3 nodes. They’re keeping the blast radius small of any issue while being super redundant. It probably grew organically instead of any central capacity management
Another approach is to use normal mode to delete a block of text you want. For instance, if you want to delete up to the line before the line that contains "This is a line of text", you could run

q:
.,/This is a line of text/- d

. is the current line. /This is a line of text/ is the line that contains it and the - after the regex refers to the line immediately above. You could use _ to refer to the line immediately after, or -x or +x where x refers to the number of lines above or below the line that the regex matched.
Isn't this the company world famous for not delivering upon their breathless hype for over a decade?

You may be interested in the upcoming Gonzalez v Google now on the Supreme Court docket. The Supreme Court has never taken a Section 230 case and here they are taking one even when there is no split in the circuits. It is likely that the interpretation of 230 by courts is going to change.

Twitter and other Big Tech websites comprised of UGC and pointers to articles on newspaper websites have grown too large to moderate. Section 230 gives them immunity from lawsuits that the TV show does not have. The TV show has producers, actual people who make editorial decisions. Big Tech has people too but they hide their decision-making in "algorithms".

Gonzalez is probably going to change what Big Tech, i.e., mega-sized websites, can get away with under Section 230 immunity.
Obviously. But it's not the point. Point was the concern - by their thinking - is not the battery in the AirTag but the transmitter.

I give up.
You'll learn I'm right in the future which in fact does make me wrong... but then right again.
C doesn’t do anything particularly strange with pointers. Most of the weirdness comes from arrays not actually being arrays and sizeof being a primitive with a surprising behaviour in my experience. Apart from that you have to understand the difference between the stack and the heap and how your system treats malloc (well understanding that it can fail goes a long way) but that’s pretty much it.

There are probably some sharp corners I’m not thinking of around type conversions but that’s the kind of thing you expect from a strongly typed language.

Most of the caveats are in how compilers treat C rather than how close it is to the hardware to be honest.
It's down to strategy. If you bought once, all in 1990 and did nothing and waited, then maybe that's a problem.
I mean, Deck is literally a Linux machine and getting to desktop mode is one click away, and opening a browser is just one more click, then you have access to literally anything your heart desires. Still, including something in promotional material is very different.
It's interesting how you can observe thousands of developers utilizing Typescript and ORMs. Code bases with millions of lines. And have someone like you assume that these tools are 'useless' and solve 'self-inflicted' problems. Assume that large code bases are 'bad practice'. Assume 'breaking' something up is some amazing insight and will simply fix problems and not create new ones. Also assuming that we're not aware of these things already and have not evaluated these options such as plain javascript and raw sql.

You really think you're that above everyone else? No doubts that you might be missing something?

I'm not sure it's exciting.

The cancer called advertising has already consumed consumer tech, the vast majority of people are complacent with the situation, and the only escape is real-life where cost, technological and physical limitations prevent the same level of advertising (yes there are billboards, but that's nothing compared to what digital advertising has become).

VR would essentially remove all those limitations, and since people are complacent and clearly don't mind it, we'd end up in a world like this video depicts: https://vimeo.com/166807261. Hell, Facebook or "Meta" is going all-in on VR for a reason.
Ah yes the spooky “mainstream media” which seems always to somehow say the opposite of what you believe. This is not an addressable concern to be honest. It’s like complaining about “the elites.” Just needs to be more specific.

Also your evidence of Ukraine lying about war crimes is the firing of a woman who lied about war crimes? Sure, people lie, but then that obviously prompts the question of why haven’t all the other people who have been discussing Russian crimes been fired as well (since, as you’re implying, the crimes are fake?)
I can't remember if I read this somewhere or whether it's something I discovered for myself. Surely I couldn't be that smart to think of it all by myself.

I certainly remember remarking on the presence of the 'doughnut' several times over the years: when seeing older industrial slum areas of the inner-city becoming desirable (and expensive!) again.

And when seeing the street-pedestrians in the suburb that I'd just bought into change in the space of only 18 months or so from all 'little old ladies' and no young-mothers-with-prams to there being very few 'little old ladies' and becoming mainly young-mothers-with-prams. A year or two earlier, young relatives had moved into the next suburb inwards that was the 'new yuppy suburb'. That's probably why I noticed the changes.

My rule-of-thumb is to always buy within about 15 minutes drive of the CBD or even closer, if you can afford it. Even if that is currently an 'unpopular' area. I have arguments with relatives over this: 'Yuk! How could you live there? Where all the prostitutes/immigrants/factories/poor people/lower socio-economic classes/etc/etc/etc are?'

I currently live on the boundary of the CBD and the next industrial suburb, in the top storey of a 7-storey apartment block. (Literally on the 'right' side of the tracks! I can hear the level-crossing bells.)

This city has only about 150,000 population, but the 'doughnut effect' is discernible here. Those other suburbs I mentioned above were in a city of five million.
Having an inadequate military relative to our adversaries would be an existential threat to our entire society. Whereas the death of any single individual, while tragic, is ultimately of no consequence.

This article and many like it "assign fault" to the labour by making too many assumptions about the cause of the decrease in labour productivity being a decrease in labour effort, motivation etc. In reality, this just a misrepresentation of the metric. Not sure why you don't think this would anger some people.
Apparently, to them, yes.

Which of the current JS frontend framework paradigms do you think should be standardised and shipped in browsers? Would you choose a React-like model, or maybe something more Svelte-like? Or something different from either of those two that I'm not aware of?

And the follow up question, which is pointed, is: if your proposed solution would look similar to current JS solution X, why would it be better than X? Is the goal removing the build process? Increasing uniformity across the ecosystem?
