I'm not against the model where people subscribe to see some of the content. In fact I prefer the substack model where you are choosing to pay for an author that really connects with you opposed to Medium where you are paying money to eat at a buffet of trash.

I am against the idea of email newsletters though because the last thing I need is another email subscription. Everybody and his brother and his sister and fifteen cousins wants to send me email, I don't want anymore. For instance I used to like hearing about offers at Best Buy because they used to have good sales and I found shopping fun, but they sent me an email every day and I have neither the energy or money to buy something every day... And then the pandemic came and they quit discounting.

I see it as a problem that a web site pop up anything that covers the content be it apologizing for cookies or asking for my email address. Substack loses points for the "let me read it first" language that suggests that it's not legitimate for me to just read articles I like online instead of subscribing.

A medium article loses a lot of points for being on medium. It has to be really exceptional for me to want to promote it. A substack article loses a few points relative to a blog, it's nowhere near as bad as medium, but still it is annoying as hell to nag me every day about an email subscription that I'm never going to create.

I didn't completely understand why you want to run your project in WSL but keep necessary files on the Windows side of the filesystem? It mentions PHPStorm, but you can just run that in WSL instead of running it on the Windows side and losing the ability to watch files.

Which instances are not transparent substitutes, in your opinion? Keep in mind the defintion here is that Amazon could substitute the image transparently, e.g., by ignoring the additional resources in hypervisor, not that the instances are by default indistinguishable.

That being said, the substitute instances considered could be trivially accepted by any task running on the original instance, so long as it doesn't misbehave when given too many resources. In the case of vCPU, you can even hide extra vCPU cores, so a c6g.xlarge can be made effectively indistinguishable from a m6g.2xlarge by disabling the vCPUs at the hypervisor level.

I used to play around with crypto trading bots back when the space was new enough that geniuses hadn't come in and hogged most of the easy profits. I'd happily run a ton of pretty complicated code 24/7 just to net a few free bucks per hour

Yet somehow Menufy, Chownow, etc seem to need $3+ just for a few microseconds of very simple, straightforward, financial-risk-free code.

I guess that's why there are so many of those terrible services out there.

I would say that, the 1 screen plan should support full HD, and the 2 screen plan should support 4k, as current price. They can save money by not spending in games. C'mon, we are in 2022, no one wants to pay to watch 720p
Interesting. I had an email from a Californian law firm, claiming that my website was not sufficiently accessible for vision-impaired readers and I could be sued in California because of it, and would I like to pay them for their legal assistance in making it meet ADA legislation?

I suggested they consider Arkell v. Pressdram, and haven't heard a cheep from them since. The site looks perfectly okay with javascript and styling turned off (it's a forum, it's all text, there are some photos), so I expect it'll be fine in any practical screen reader. The demographic for the forum (people who want to repair and operate very old Range Rovers) already probably doesn't really include partially-sighted people, who would not be allowed to drive anyway if their vision was so poor they couldn't read text on a screen with reasonable adaptations.

I don't expect I will ever travel to California anyway, so I'm certain I've heard the last of them.
> 90% of people will not get past laying a concrete foundation.

Mainly because it's a good idea to leave certain parts to the pros. Anyone can do framing or hang drywall. Roofs are as simple as you design them to be. It's the areas where your house 'interfaces' with the rest of the world where you'll need the most help, but a lot of those situations can be set up so you can do the majority of the labor (and the tools available now make it easier than ever).
Many worlds is absolutely testable, since if we observe collapse in even a single one of these experiments then that completely falsifies many worlds. If one of these experiments discussed in the article had actually observed a collapse, then I have no doubt we'd be seeing headlines like "many worlds theory disproven", and Nobel prizes for the physicists involved. It would be the biggest discovery in physics for decades.
- WebKit is a co-opted KDE project that was open source before Apple forked it (also LGPL, it would be illegal for Apple to distribute WebKit if it wasn't GPL too)

- LLVM was also open source before Apple bought the core developers

- If Clang wasn't open source then literally nobody would ever use it

There are definitely a few spotty places where Apple tosses up a CUPS patch for Linux or fixes a cross-platform WebKit bug. Relative to the rest of FAANG, though, Apple is unprecedented in their posturing against open source.
To see Germany's squandered potential all we need to look to is Japan (clean, safe, high-trust country with almost no homeless).

I would settle for prices simply flattening, which at least would cut off the cycle of homeowners expecting property to continue appreciating.

We also need to start building different kinds of homes. More "starter homes", fewer McMansions in the suburbs and luxury condo apartments in the cities.
An Introduction to Asynchronous Design
That's hardly an argument against it.
Does it actually confuse you or is that a rhetorical question?

On the one have you have global manufacturers being required to switch from one well established standard to another, it’s a requirement that barely touches on their resources as a firm and has more to do with their business strategy.

Contrast that with organizations that are likely well meaning but barely have the technical competence to put up and maintain a website. What they are currently doing is at the limit of their technical capacity.

The two situations couldn’t be more different.
Thank you for calling this out. I feel like there is a psyops campaign paid for by Google denouncing any organization/tech that doesn't blindly follow their non-standard standards.

I agree. Larry Tesler is no longer around to write such a retrospective. I am not sure who else might be able to do it. One of my favorite ATG project was the Dylan[1] programming language.

Larry was working a lot on what would become Stagecast.[2]

There was so much going on, but the way Steve saw it, nothing was shipping. I think he made the right choice shutting it all down. As I said above, it wasn't at all clear that Apple would end up turing into the Apple we have today.

Never seen the previous sites but I get the impression they were free CC stuff. The author flipped out when he got _required_ to implement accessibility for a best-effort, free thing he gave away and is now commercializing; maintaining it under the exemption he couldn’t afford for a free service, out of spite
Fun article, the phenomenon is interesting to see in practice, I've seen it regularly with newer instance types as it can take time for people to add them to their configurations.

We're heavy users of spot here in Intercom. I spot-checked our biggest workload, and this week we could have paid around 10% less if we were able to get the cheapest spot host possible in us-east-1 that is suitable for our workload (all 16xlarge Gravitons). However that would be at the cost of fleet stability, I think that to run relatively large production services used in realtime on spot you need to prioritise fleet stability, so choosing the "Capacity Optimized" strategy. We've seen incessant fleet churn when trying out cost optimised strategies.
Top 500 Global Asset Managers (Thinking Ahead Institute)
I prefer the style of the original Geiss plugin (http://www.geisswerks.com/geiss/shots.html) to Milkdrop, but every recent project I know (I know if this one and https://github.com/jberg/butterchurn) reimplements Milkdrop. It would seem like there should be a set of Milkdrop presets that makes it look like Geiss, but I could not find one.

Does anyone know a working visualiser more similar to Geiss?

The iCloud app - even for Windows - allows files to be shared surprisingly quick. Granted, it takes time to show up (just like many cloud file sharing systems), but if you have something in iCloud before you even get home, it’s usually accessible on the PC by the time you settle in.
The problem is that due to inflation, the cost of living has sky rocketed too, at least in a lot of countries.

This means your mortgage repayments aren't the only thing that has increased, so has absolutely everything else in your life. Look at Australia for example, they're predicting the already ridiculously high food prices to go even higher, up to 7-10% due to major flooding events this year.

So your analysis kind of works, but it's not factoring in whether people feel ok about paying > $200k (AUD) or more for a house which isn't worth that much anymore (prices are going down already, many many people bought at the height of a bubble, due to FOMO), then having absolutely no money to do anything with their house to improve it (building costs are astronomical) and having no money for leisure or holidays, then you have high energy and school fees to add to all of that.

In my opinion, this is what will start to drive more people to sell. It's not just the house prices, but it's the burden of being tied to such huge debt.

Also money isn't so cheap right now, so it will slow down property speculation. Many people also bought houses thinking that if they don't like being so heavily leveraged they will just sell their property at a net gain. Not at a loss, this I think is starting to scare people.

I'd say we'll see a lot of people at least consider downsizing in the near future.
The issue with data leakage can be handled through k-fold cross-validation, in which all of the data takes turns as either training data or test data.
Yea in retrospect this is easy to say and it is trivial to join the dots, but the real leg work was done by John Carreyrou. He single-handedly investigated, recognized the fraud and exposed Theranos when everyone was writing rosy stories about Elizabeth Holmes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Carreyrou

> He won the Pulitzer Prize twice and is well known for having exposed the fraudulent practices of the multibillion-dollar blood-testing company Theranos in a series of articles published in The Wall Street Journal.

Highly recommend reading his book that gives a detailed account on how he went about taking on Theranos: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37976541-bad-blood
Before NPMv7, enabling `ignore-scripts` also disabled NPM scripts, which are needed for this attack vector.

Currently, you can avoid using NPM scripts, and in effect avoiding this vulnerability, by using a shell script or a Makefile. For example:

I guess Dixons are still a headache with their new k-space stuff as Boost (the denoising) isn’t compatible with it yet. Gain is but looks distinctly lame when you compare it Boost.

We are yet to see the tech applied to breath hold sequences (haste, vibe etc), Dixon, 3D, gradient sequences and probably others.

I’m looking forward to seeing it on haste and 3D T2s (space) in particular. MRI looks very different today compared to how it looked just 6 months ago.

I’d compare it to the change we saw going from 1.5T to 3T, just accelerated in how quickly progress is being made.

Interpol Launches 'First-Ever Metaverse' Designed for Global Law Enforcement
So a model calibrated on a backtest says nothing about its predictive capacity. Who would have thought? Well, at least I think anyone who worked even a little bit in quantitative finance. The only way to validate a model is to make predictions and test if those predictions actually happen in a repeatable way, which in certain circles is refered to as "experiment".

That's why I distrust any model built purely on backtested data unless they can be shown to predict something else than history. And AI is not the only area that blindly trusts those kind of models.
One of the selling points of WSL was the close integration between Windows and Linux.

I liked the original WSL because it delivered close integration in the filesystem (e.g. Linux applications used the Windows filesystem) but the filesystem interface in Windows is slow compared to the filesystem in Linux. For the work I did it was OK but the headline number for how long it takes to compile a kernel was awful with WSL 1 and Microsoft felt the need to rebuild WSL.

So WSL 2 is just "run Linux in a VM and use a bunch of Microsoft-supplied hacks to couple Linux and Windows" and that is just death... Microsoft can't couple Linux to Windows effectively any more than Microsoft could make a Dropbox clone that worked 1/4 as well as Dropbox or make a Steam clone that works at all. (Ok, I have occasionally installed an app from the Windows store, it sorta works on a new machine from the store and just after you make a feature upgrade, but after a little bit of use the metadata database gets corrupted and I can't install anything anymore... And the idiots at Microsoft tell me I should nuke my whole account and spend hours reinstalling and reconfiguring all the applications I actually use just so I can install one crapplet from the Windows Store that I need for my printer.)

If I want to run Linux in a VM I can just run Linux in a VM and configure it so it works correctly. For me WSL 2 is Kryptonite because it makes it very easy to make a broken Linux configuration but impossible to make a good one.
>MWI still postulates the equivalent of wave function collapse

It's not postulated, but deduced from the Schrodinger equation. MWI is simpler in a sense that it has one fewer axiom. But Occam's razor isn't really applicable here, because it selects from otherwise equal theories, which CI isn't. There are more important criteria to use before Occam's razor.
They might have "figured it out" by cutting the patient open.
"Between 2019 and 2022, 579 of the 6,810 non-resident owners sold their properties for an average sale price of $53,000. That’s nearly a tenfold return on investment without assuming they were renting the property out during time of ownership. This means that within these three years, through homeowners losing their homes at tax foreclosure auctions, a little over $300 million dollars of wealth was eventually exported from Detroit homeowners to owners outside the city. "

This doesn't seem to take into account that someone may have injected capital into houses to rehab them.
Doesn't the Shiller index account for that? It's currently at 307 compared to 213 two years ago. A decade ago it was 134. Hard to look at the curve and avoid the conclusion that things are way more expensive now than anytime in the past.

With all due respect for the forensic chemists and their good work on identifying an unknown substance, it is fairly common for forensic groups to once in a while detect new chemical analogs of known drugs. A few years back, lots of new cannabinoids and cathinones were getting released constantly as older analogs were getting banned. Often, these novel analogs are pharmacological low hanging fruit. The drug in this article is also such low-hanging fruit: it is well known an N-methyl to N-ethyl substitution does not lead to reduced activity in this category of arylcyclohexylamine dissociative anesthetics (this was actually one of the SAR considerations taken by the designers of methoxetamine!). And indeed, this very same substitution was used here on 2-Fluorodeschloroketamine, leading to the drug from the article.

PS the Chinese abbreviation for "CanKet", 2F-NENDCK, most likely stands for 2-fluoro-N-ethyl-nordeschloroketamine. It is almost certain this drug was synthesized by a Chinese custom synthesis group (the most typical source for these type of substances at scale) and not by Australian clandestine chemists.
Spot fleet requests allow you to set minimum specs for instances, and the fleet will be composed of any instances that meet the spec. If it's asynchronous work, you could pick lowest price allocation and not worry too much about interruptions. In fact, if your work is tolerant of interruptions (batch size <2min), you can actually save even more by being interrupted, as you don't get billed for partial hours: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/billing-...
Thanks for the insight. As you can maybe tell, this was happening soon after I was born. I got into computers at an early age, and it was 90s hand-me-down stuff, so I got vague exposure to the old state of things.

> What does it matter if the client knows or doesn't know the whole chain from the resolver to all its peers? There's nothing the client can do about it.

If the client expected all the links to be secured (which is what you propose with a bottom-up security model) and if it would know whether they are or not, then it could fail to resolve if any link is not currently secured, if the user so desired.

In your bottom-up security model proposal, this would protect against any external man-in-the-middle attack in the entire chain (but not an attacker within the chain).

If the client doesn't know if all links are secured, then it is vulnerable as long as any link in the chain can be attacked (except for its own link), not to mention of course, by attackers within the chain as well. Since it has no way to know whether it was attacked or not, it has no way to prevent forged responses.

> DNS data is either hard to spoof (even now, that's the case)

It's really not hard. Otherwise, this page wouldn't list ongoing cases that affect millions of users right now, every single day:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_hijacking

> if it wasn't for the fact that all of DNSSEC security collapses down to a single, resolver-controlled header bit on the link between your browser and your DNS server.

Maybe on your system, not mine.

If you use a local caching resolver with DNSSEC support (and why wouldn't you, unless you're using a microcontroller with close to zero resources?) then no application on your local system will get a forged response from domains with DNSSEC support (unless it was attacked at the source, origin DNS server or at the TLD level, of course, no way to prevent that), regardless of what your DNS server does or pretends to be doing, or any other DNS server in the chain, or even an external attacker that tries to attack any link in the chain, for that matter.

You could also implement a DNS resolver with DNSSEC support on your browser, if you really wanted. But a local caching resolver is an even more generic solution, as it protects all local applications, not just your browser.
