If everyone should look at government the same way, then government has failed tremendously and we should stop pushing this farce of "democracy".
Nah.

For all the talk of "one app to rule them all" (which is an awful idea) this is a step closer to that.

For all it's faults, crypto has one thing right -- not your keys, not your stuff. I get that doing keys/passwords is hard, but the best thing in the long run is for them to stay in the hands of the user.

And if not, the holder of the keys needs to be someone you can easily hold accountable, i.e. either fire, or arrest, or sue if they get it wrong.

If one day the next-gen avatars are so realistic, would you say the same? The whole point of VR/AR/MR is to push the boundaries of immersive virtual worlds that eventually reach or even exceed the realism of the physical world. 20 years ago the 3D first-person shooter games were laughable and you can say the same "what's the point of building a 3D first-person game with this janky graphics and slowass computer? We should stick to 2D." Now look at what we have today.
Space is massive and planets with life on them are (at best) extremely scarce.

This probe crashing in to a planet that any life form cares about would be extremely unlikely.
I wasn't tweeting too hard. I still am very active on social media, but I don't let it conflict with my job. Some would say that my visibility on social media aids in my effectiveness in my profession.

I wonder how much profit Intel really makes on the data center. The tech press never questions it, but Intel does a lot of gaslighting and notoriously has many sock puppets in the industry press. We are told all the time that the data center is subsidizing the consumer but I wonder if the truth is the other way around... Certainly Intel wouldn't have gotten within 100 miles of the data center if it hadn't been for the volume of client parts being able to pay for technology that pulled ahead of SPARC, MIPS and all the legacy chips.

On one hand, the data center gets better utilization, maybe gets more value, and maybe turns over hardware faster. (e.g. why do I want to buy a new computer when the IGPU is just going to make it crash faster?)

On the other hand there is more competition for the data center, particularly cloud providers who could amortize rewriting simple but large scale applications like Amazon S3 for ARM or RISC-V over a large fleet of machines. If the data center is able to drive a hard bargain, it may well be that the client is still subsidizing the data center, but we just get told its the other way around so that we won't ask for me and complain about the e-waste Intel tries to pass off on us. (e.g. "try" because their sales are collapsing)

---

A good example of the gaslighting is this article

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/linux-kernel-update-kills-...

which should have the headline "Intel iGPU kills laptop displays".

I think C/C++ is the popular option nowadays.
You are misinterpreting the expression. It's about disambiguation in the source of the sexism, not the outcome.

The whole point is that the outcome is not benevolent.

But it's useful to have a nominative difference between sexism that has roots in hate ("women are hysterical") and sexism that has roots in a "positive" stereotype ("women are nurturing").

Those are two different types of sexism with two different root causes and need to different solutions.
I mean... this answer is probably the best illustration of GP's point... Talk about customer hostility...

More convenient, but less safe for everyone in the long run.
Another product that they will use their dominant position to force down our throat!
Passkey will be supported, with no new user behavior, by ~a billion devices currently in use. It is better because a billion+ devices already have support for this.
There's more to it than that. To some extent, we can only discuss anarchy in relation to modern day states. The idea with anarchy is that hierarchies that do end up existing through natural social relationships have as little coercion involved as possible, and be less formalized and centralized than in a state to avoid the inevitable consequence that a state will seek first and foremost its own continuation and calculate everything else based on that premise
Nah. You run A/B tests on your customers without their knowledge.
Your opinions are wrong.

Be careful, if you argue that your opinions are not wrong, you'll be admitting your comment here is wrong.
It matters to me a little bit. A green bubble means the message is basically a postcard that the carrier can read. A blue bubble means the message is in an envelope that my carrier can’t read.
Canonical has half the revenue of Suse. Which is less than half Fed Hat... So yes they're third by a long shot and definitely least funded of the "commercial" distros.
Even if neural networks were fundamentally incompatible with conventional computation, I don't see why you couldn't augment a neural network with a conventional ALU to do the numerical computations. This is exactly what humans do with pencil and paper - it's just a bit too slow.
In recent interviews with Zuck he talks about important body language is. From their research, they found you can get really far with only face, posture, and hand reproduction (hence why Meta avatars have no legs)

It's early days, but having very accurate face and hand tracking will be the next big step
This article is absolute nonsense from start to finish. If this was remotely true, they'd have done a side by side of a low contrast blue with good contrast green, but they didn't, because everyone would have seen exactly how wrong the article is.
You’ll be happy to learn that people are actively thinking about and working on accessibility for AR/VR. And if it’s something you feel strongly about, there’s companies and teams that are hiring specifically for this role.
I would use this in addition to those. Instead of having to buy two Yubikeys I can buy one and use a software solution as well.

Since I already use a phone capable of doing the same thing, let my phone be my main authenticator, and then I can use a Yubikey as a backup.

It's not like one is necessarily better than the other, except that you already carry a phone and they're capable of being a hardware device that works with Webauthn. No need to carry a second device or, pay for one, for that matter. Since at least with Apple's solution it'll sync over iCloud Keychain.

If you're happy with Yubikey's, nothing changes. But for the average person, this makes Webauthn an option without having to buy any hardware or carry something you are more likely to lose because you don't understand the intricate details of how the thing works. I wouldn't expect my parents to understand how a Yubikey works well enough to know it should be used as a pair, for backup purposes, but that is a barrier to entry for them that they don't need to worry about now.
Kotlin native is barely usable... it doesn't even have a standard library.
Ineffective managers are a real problem, I have first hand experience. There is nothing worse than being in a toxic environment where your manager doesn't support or showcase your work. The only solution to these situations is usually too look for other internal opportunities or resign.

The larger the organization, the more systematic this problem usually tends to be, this is just my experience of course.
> But when it evolved on earth, it then wiped out all non-Cyanobacteria?

Most, not all were either wiped out or survive only in small anaerobic niches. It was a mass extinction.

Sodium ion is expected to sharply take over cost limited applications some time in the next couple of years. There are pilot mass production programs designed to avoid scarce materials that drop into existing processes. Natron have products on the market (at presumably high cost) targetting datacenters for high safety applications.

For longer scale storage it's a tossup between opportunistic pumped hydro, CAES where geology makes it easy, hydrogen in similar areaswith caverns, ammonia, synthetic hydrocarbons, sodium ion, and one of the emerging molten salt or redox flow battery technogies. Lithium isn't really in the running due to resource limits.

Wires also have a lot of value for decreasing the need for storage. Joining wind and solar 1000s of km apart can greatly reduce downtime. Replacing as much coal and oil with those, and maintaining the OCGT and CCGT fleet is the fastest and most economic way to target x grams of CO2e per kWh where x is some number much smaller than the 400 of pure fossil fuels but bigger than around 50. Surplus renewable power (as adding 3 net watts of solar is presently cheaper than the week of storage to get an isolated area through that one week where capacity is 1/3rd the average) will subsidize initial investments into better storage and electrolysis with no further interventions needed.

Apparently there is a waitlist.
This will not happen, simply because Zuckerberg owns FB. Also, this deal makes no sense for FB. They still make a large amount of money (10s of billions every quarter) and the only advantage they get from this is Microsoft's brand (compared to FB's brand, which is currently doggshit).
Completely agree. There's a huge swath of moderate "non-sexy" solutions that the public could get behind--in 2020, something like 90% of Americans favored police reforms according to Gallup, which necessarily includes a bunch of Republicans. We could have got some combination of "require more police training", "reorganize internal affairs", "weaken police unions", "end qualified immunity", etc but instead progressives prioritized their personal catharsis to the detriment of everyone, but especially the communities of color who have to suffer the most from the crime surge, who never wanted a decrease of policing in the first place (80% of black Americans opposed de-policing in 2020), and in whose name progressives demanded a reduction in policing.
I discovered this album probably 15 years ago, and since then it’s been one of my consistent go-to albums for when I need to focus on some work. Music with lyrics is too distracting for my brain, so I need instrumentals. This is a great one.
> ... I showed Rick the platform's essential functions. Eventually, he created the company's Social Media Council, and I was appointed as one of the founding members.

It seems the SVP was in company representative in charge of PR / social media? If so, he was the party responsible for the team and thus "the team"?

> The SVP backchanneled unfounded complaints to my director in order to get me in trouble.

Seems like the SVP was going through the command chain to direct his complaints / concerns to you. That's the typical way corporate structures work.
If you get rid of the above organizations, the local police become the organization with the capability to destroy any single individuals with no repercussions. Though they have few already, the FBI does investigate local law enforcement agencies.

The fact that the head of the FBI is an appointee of an elected official, there is some public accountability through voters if there is enough transparency to inform voters of what is going on.

I suppose the same is true for most local police though. As it stands, we don’t get much transparency. For a democracy to work properly, the public needs to be informed. The stonewalling by law enforcement at all levels prevents the public from holding them accountable.
This argument only makes sense when consumers are free to choose comparable alternatives without the plastic packaging. But realistically, consumers are typically severely limited in their selection of products.

Picking the best of a bad lot doesn't mean people prefer bad things, if their selection is extremely constrained.
Wait what? Glue as in extract high level semantic representations from _syntatic probabilities_ and pass on to appropriate domain specific tools?

This is the glaring hole in LLMs, a paradoxical semantic incoherence despite impressive sentenial and gramatical coherence.

As glue it is so thin as to be potable.
Gray thinking ideas:

• Down-classify everything by 1 designation. Top Secret / Secure Compartmentalized Information becomes Top Secret. Top Secret becomes Secret. Secret becomes Declassified. (I've heard overclassification decreases trust in government)

• Shorten the maximum secrecy timespan (some information is kept secret 50+ years to avoid political blowback against operations that the public would find inexcusable)

• Shorten the average secrecy timespan (see above)

• Ban ISP's from collecting, retaining, distributing, and selling netflow metadata.

• Ban all government agencies from bypassing fourth amendment by way of purchasing surveillance from private organizations.

Edit: if you're going to downvote someone for brainstorming less extreme ideas (not suggestions/demands) as a response to more extreme ideas, please at least offer criticism of the ideas themselves.

Nobody said the causes the foundation is funneling money to are Democrat causes, though. They’re something entirely different.
If any of that had happened the order of events would have been different.

He would have received warnings that he was violating company policy. The SVP would have addressed him directly and asked him to stop tweeting about the company instead of asking him to be taught. His manager wouldn't have been confused about the complaint.

None of your arguments are from the article. You're going way out of your way to assume the engineer is in the wrong and omitting information in the article.
That’s what a musician does. They make short loops and loop them.

This reads like someone who knows sheet music and theory but does not listen to music. It’s repetition of short phrases over and over.

I’m not really sure what people expect of general AI trained on human generated outputs. It can’t make up anything anything “net new” only compose based upon what we feed it.

I like to think AI is just showing us how simple minded we really are and how our habit of sharing vain fairy tales about history makes us believe we’re masters of the universe.
People Can No Longer Afford to Be Monogamous with Their Full-Time Jobs
Like many others on this thread, you are misinterpreting the term, "benevolent sexism".

"Benevolent" in this case is defining the category, not the morality of the sexism.

Indeed, sexism is inherently immoral, even when it is framed as benevolence.
>No one will trust them again if they make one major mistake

They have the advantage that all other competitors at that scale (FB, Google, etc.) are worse and even more desperate for ad revenue...
These look like they're the latest incarnation of the NEC SX-series vector supercomputers that have been around since the early 80s. Interesting, proven architecture alternative to GPU based supers.
its legally dubious but not morally ;)

pirated sports are even a better product. they dont have ads. so if i pay for sports on tv, im actually paying to watch ads?? it should be the other way around, and if it were, i would probably sign up. also give me all your money

> Already they are pitching it as a "marketplace" of digital sorts before they even have an audience.

Good point, that's Carmack's _exact_ criticism!

> Requiring a Facebook account.

No longer true as of a few months ago.
Apple's iMessage is secured end-to-end, your mobile carrier can't see the message. As soon as the box goes green then any intermediary, including your mobile carrier and your friend's mobile carrier, can read the message and/or make it available to law enforcement.

In a U.S. court of law Apple has stood up to authority and pointed out they can't provide the messages requested as they're locked even to Apple. Facebook on the other hand has acquiesced to U.S. law enforcement. That tells me that even if Facebook has secured end-to-end messaging, which I don't think they've ever claimed, they have backdoors.
I wish I could upvote this 100 times. Seems short-sighted to the point of company malpractice.

Introducing a massive conflict of interest into their business model cannot possibly work out well in the long-term.
It's a banner on top of settings that has to be forcefully hidden, it's not in the Apple Arcade setting. Many people are explaining to you that if it behaves like an ad and smells like an ad, it's an ad.

I feel that you are either arguing in bad faith, or determined to defend Apple at all costs. I guess when your car manufacturer will start showing you "Enable Entertaining Package Plus for 14$/mo" in your car dashboard, you will be happy, think "of course I can decide whether to enable it or not", and probably feel very clever.
I have just compared the “gross” bubble from the article with my “real” bubble. Made a screenshot of both and used the ios color picker.

“Gross”: #7EC170

Real from the bottom of the message reel: #65C466

Real from the top: #73E173

No issues with contrast in either case. Also keep in mind that those color hexes will slightly vary depending on where exactly you decide to pick since bubbles are filled with gradients.

Not sure where author gets his bubble from but in real life they look as “good” bubbles at the bottom of the screen that makes me think the article itself is gross.
I vaguely remember this being a thing in ~2014? Maybe earlier?

I haven’t experienced this with Fleet after using it some months.

However, from using the other JetBrains tools the performance killer for builds and indexing libraries and documentation has typically been slow file system access.

These IDE even warn you when they detect this. I don’t remember seeing this warning in the Fleet preview.

A common solution is to disable aggressive anti-virus scanning for you project folder and some key application folders so it does not slow down the build.

Another cause is slow remote mounted file systems that you might have if you are using VMs, WSL or Docker.

If I remember correctly the docs have detailed information about this.
It would allow us to tackle more important problems like the ability to convey sarcasm on the internet.
> say the same "what's the point of building a 3D first-person game with this janky graphics and slowass computer? We should stick to 2D."

But it was even fun and entertaining then. Quest is not.
"Reform" is too easy to silently crush. Oodles of police "reforms" have achieved precisely nothing at mitigating the widespread use of violence by police against the people. "Defund" argues that the institution itself is fundamentally broken and that we should be solving many of the problems that police are tasked with today through organizations that don't have the authority to execute people.
> Holding someone to a higher standard also has a "reverse" psychological effect that when they deviate or stray away from the expected standards, people are harsher on them than they usually would be.

That sounds strange. Women are held to a higher standard, yet when they commit crimes, we punish them less severely than men. How would that fit into your narrative?
Which do you think is the bigger fuck up, finding out that you've accidentally put a random teenager in charge of your business's largest community and can't even get them to sign an NDA because they're a minor, or then mis-handling kicking them out so badly that you cause a massive uproar despite the person you've decided to kick being willing to co-operate. Just incredibly dumb on so many levels.
Spark mail gets major update and pricing change
I dislike most Apple software even if I like their hardware.

From Itune and podcast that always try to sell me something instead of just letting me use my library to mail or safari to iCloud.

Seems to me they are good at pushing the boundaries in hardware and integration, but the software make me run in the other direction.

Is there value in their software?

"It is really unfortunate because the potential for much more impactful and meaningful work is lost."

I hear you and I'm sorry you're experiencing this as well. Unfortunately sometimes operating within the constraints of your priorities is all that leadership looks at in determining career advancement. You're doing more? That's nice, but if it's not tied to your OKRs, it's not promotion material. This, is the crux of a lot of FANGMA BS.
The issue is you’ve wrapped up so much in the word “white” that you’re confusing yourself. You seem to be under the impression that intra-racial discrimination can’t exist?

The Rwandan genocide was entirely between black people, but 2 different ethnic groups. It was a brutal genocide, ethnic discrimination to the extreme, but that doesn’t make anyone less black. Colorism exists, that doesn’t make anyone less black. WW2 was a massive violent conflict between predominantly white people. Tens of millions died, and Americans were as willing to kill Germans as Germans were to kill the British and so on. They are all white.

Being of the same race doesn’t mean there’s also massive racial solidarity at all times. White Americans today are fairly split between conservative and democrats even now. Is one group less white?

This is just a few of the contradictions created when you try to cram “discrimination” in as an aspect of being white (but not for any other race). It’s such a narrow, racist, incorrect worldview that runs against reality pretty much everywhere. It serves no academic usefulness at all except agenda-pushing
That's just about explicit permission. All kind of shit also happens via implicit permission (nobody does anything about cops doing it and so is normalized) or no permission.
It's been the opposite for me. Larger organizations (i'm talking huge, like FAANG), have been much more supportive. The management is usually more seasoned. I've seen really small startups with super inexperienced founders be the biggest culprit of this kind of stuff.
At least on iOS, passkeys are stored locally in Keychain, even if they're also synced over iCloud (when enabled).
Mario has very poor eye placement for a 2d character and shouldn't be able to see anything but his nose.
that is something people are doing. Also when you go down into rock, you are able to leverage pressure as energy storage as well - which is similar to what this article is about.

There was 1 design I saw where they have a large cylinder cut out of the ground but left in place (so it is loose). Pump water underneath it to raise the cylinder up, then flip the valve and the cylinder squeezes the water back out for power through gravity. I am not sure how the sealing works on that, probably similar to hydraulics
