> And then if a car even dares to accidentally not see them because they sat in their blind spot they flip a shit

Oh god, that is the most annoying complaint I ever hear. Such a common post on any moto-focused discussion site. Usually involves an idiot on a bike cruising next to a car and then overreacting when the car begins to merge into their lane. Happens all the fucking time if you've ridden for longer than a day. Get over it and get better at anticipating it.

Two rules of riding that have kept me safe for a couple hundred thousand miles of riding:

1. Always assume the cars next to you will merge into your lane.

2. ABP, Always Be Passing. Going at the flow of traffic is dangerous. Going slower than traffic is even more dangerous.
Skyway sounds difficult to deal with for accessibility. Would it rely on elevators within the superblock for access?

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
Sadly I did a double take when reading the font name as well.
Many of these companies can be profitable, they just need far lower costs. Too many devs, too many PMs, too many marketing people.

Imo, this is as much a problem of products being built with no regard for costs. Most tech companies have distinct development and product roles...so if this is going wrong, why even have the product people?

The core product for SNAP should be highly cash-generative, this is the case for most tech companies. But, instead, they are often losing massive amounts of money because there is no economic logic to what they are doing. Most of these companies are run by people who got rich somewhat accidentally, by showing massive disregard to economic logic and then having an even dafter VC manager shove money into their mouth.

The question is not where do they go, but whether the current managers have the stomach to get there.
Just to clarify a few things:

"Batch import" is querying the system Contacts Provider [0] with essentially a "SELECT *" query. This requires the READ_CONTACTS permission, which is granted by the user via a runtime permissions dialog. "Batch import" under this definition includes the use case of displaying the contacts list in the app's UI, regardless of whether that list is cached offline or uploaded somewhere.

The "contact picker" is an Intent the app sends to the system contacts application, which then returns a single contact. The UI is handled by the contacts app, filtering options are limited/non-existent, and there's no way to display app-specific metadata. It also requires no permissions.

Correct, though when I put the 240 in my garage, both the outlet and breaker had torque specs.
Indeed the GPL is stronger due to copyright than if neither existed, but without it you'd still be within your rights to redistribute and modify the binary. Because of the ineffectiveness of obfuscation I don't see how businesses would have an incentive to keep source code private anymore.
Snapchat has some good qualities but it seems profoundly unmonetizable unless they go full palantir and sell all the data.

Look at the ads page, it's like talking to (I'll be be Blunt) the worst reality tv addicted morons around

This assumes a perfectly functional management. Unfortunately, management is a notoriously hard problem for scale-out. For 10x headcount, 20% productivity loss per employee is perhaps the best we can hope for. Unfortunately, it's usually 30~40% for a successful company and Snap is perhaps not an exception.
Experimental indications of non-classical brain functions [pdf]
Note that truncated SHA-2 (SHA-224, SHA-384, SHA-512/224, SHA-512/256) are not susceptible to length-extensions attacks [1].

With the added benefit of better performance of SHA-512 (on 64 bit systems) [2], there's no good reason to use SHA-256 rather than SHA-512/256 for new cryptographic designs.

It's a buffer overflow. They can get a vulnerable implementation to execute arbitrary code, so they can get it to return any value they want. The actual SHA-3 algorithm wouldn't return the same value as the vulnerable implementation, of course.
That sounds like iOS? Only Apple apps have access to all the system level capabilities and you can't replace any of the system apps, not even the browser.

Don't get me wrong I think you're probably right but snap's business model is not just a pure tech issue at scale, i.e. you need old fashioned sales

How are they getting color? My impression is CT scan is mostly measuring density and x-ray absorption. Are they doing false color based on some sort of data (vs photoshop?)
The situation is similar with violas. There's a maker[0] who builds wildly asymmetric violas that have pretty good sound and are ergonomically excellent — very easy to play — but they're generally unwelcome in orchestras because their unorthodox appearance is distracting. Instrument makers consistently report that players will imagine all sorts of sound and playability problems when they try out an ugly instrument. I'm sure the author's guess about flute is correct: people like an instrument that looks right to them and to the audience.

Now that you mention it, I wonder if there’s any correlation between the startup-mindset (believing that success comes from hard work more than good luck), and the conspiracy-mindset (believing that disaster comes from hard work more than bad luck)...
Sounds similar to police mugshots, you don't want to be smiling or too happy as future generations may mock you...
totally agree, and you can learn a lot from Snorri, but that doesn’t make what he says about ancient traditions actually true — best to add whatever the archaeology & other forensic science says and take the whole picture.
Quantum Computing Without Entanglement
No. The "rise in computing power" doesn't jeopardize SHA2. There are important design differences between SHA1 and SHA2 (here's where in my younger days I'd pretend that I could rattle off the implications of nonlinear message expansion off the top of my head). SHA2 is secure; don't take my word for it through, you can find one of the Blake2 designers saying SHA2 is unlikely ever to be broken, or Marc Stevens on a Twitter thread talking briefly about why his attacks on SHA1 don't apply at all to SHA2.
Unfortunately, I can say from experience that social media spammers adopted AI-generated profile photos very quickly.
> The foods she offered the children were varied, but all were generally thought to be healthy. Their intrinsic goodness meant that it would have been difficult for her small charges to veer too far from the nutritional straight-and-narrow.

In other words, give people the illusion of choice, and they're more willing to accept your limitations. I don't see any evidence here that children (or anyone) have some kind of special insight into their own bodies' "nutritional needs" - to the extent such things are even individualized - but rather, that most people will eat a balanced diet when given the choice. E.g. none of the children became vitamin deficient because none of them chose to eat entirely one kind of food.
I remember the segment from the first season of Planet Earth that surprised me the most was the video of grizzlies foraging for thousands of moths just prior to hibernation.

Based on his performance at the US Chess Championship that just concluded, I would say either that, talent, or both.
My experience is that it’s frightfully common for people to unintentionally oversimplify their implementation, or to forget that their implementation is too specific and improperly use it in a more general context. For example, to think they are only dealing with /^[0-9][0-9][.][0-9][0-9][.][0-9][0-9][.][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]$/ (and if the syntax really is that simple, then simple str comparison would be enough, as another comment suggested), but then discover somewhere down the line that perhaps some of the two-digit components can actually grow to three digits, or perhaps some suffix is added, or an additional component; or perhaps just use it for a different type of version string somewhere else in the program. Perhaps years later. (Mind you, if it violates your format expectations it may be better to immediately raise ValueError rather than using potentially-different semantics as you’d get if you used, say, packaging.version.parse().) As it stands, the provided implementation didn’t mention its limitations in its documentation. That is bad and makes it much more likely to be used improperly. It should have said something like “compares version numbers in 'XX.XX.XX.XXXX' format”.

(I’m not speaking for BYO or library philosophies, merely describing considerations and caveats of both.)
Is housing really an option? I mean that seriously. I suppose we could build "projects," like in Baltimore, but I definitely wouldn't call those a success. Right now, most of the Section 8 projects are skimming the better candidates off the top. The hard cases, the truly drug addicted and mentally disturbed (and there are a whole lot of them), will take whatever housing you give them and either ruin it, or move back onto the street, or both. I always hear this appeal to just "house people," but it seems to me there's more to it than that. I think in many, many circumstances, you would have to involuntarily commit them. And then it starts looking like a jail or mental hospital. In my mind, those are probably the best answers, but that ship sailed a long time ago.
Most Texas and Idaho cities also have a lot more physical space to work with than SF does.

Unfortunately, complexifying arguments weakens your ability to invest in any one argument, and the reality is most people don't themselves invest time in any more than one. Look at the abortion debate. One side says the most important issue is women's bodily autonomy. The other side ignores this argument entirely and focuses on "abortion is murder", which is more than enough to catalyze their voting base into disregarding all other arguments.

I'm not saying it's not good to have a complex argument. I am questioning whether it's ultimately going to be the most effective strategy here.
This is completely ignoring the use case of “multiple organizations”. E.g. a contractor might need access to an agency’s network and a client’s network on the same device.

Didn't they find a vulnerability like this in the official MD5 implementation when they tried to port it to SPARK/Ada and the proofs didn't work? I wasn't able to just find it with web search, but here's a release about something similar happening with another one of the SHA3 candidates (Skein), before Keccak was chosen:

Some of the lines are extremely uncomfortable in summer afternoon (was there July 2019 and there was a heat wave for a week with temps of over 100 F), but that was record setting at the time and I was only a tourist.
As much as I want to support Carlsen/Nakamura camp... Honestly Niemann’s claims of conspiracy seem wild, but not totally outrageous. My opinion of the situation has been largely informed by findings from Chess.com reports, and so if Niemann wants to claim that he’s being conspired against, seems like we should rely on a consensus of impartial chess experts, of which there must be plenty.

Everybody involved should know that the public would be more interested in knowing who is lying in a court of law than blindly taking sides. If Carlsen camp settles out you know he’s got nothing.
This exists in places like Calgary (+15 Skywalk) and Edmonton (Pedways), and underground in places like Toronto (PATH) and Montréal (RÉSO) to try and separate pedestrians from snow and being sprayed by slush from cars.

From a weather perspective, they're pretty nice in the winter, but they suffer from a number of problems such as weird hours, lack of step free access, and fundamentally removing you from the urban fabric of the city. Oh, and they meander everywhere so it often takes a lot longer to use them. You end up with odd liminal spaces that can sometimes feel quite dangerous.

What a viewpoint.

The number of gmail users in the USA is obviously significantly lower, and the number of homeless or people in similar situations globally is obviously significantly higher.
I don’t think YouTube will abandon VP9 anytime soon either though. They want AV1 for improving quality and lowering bandwidth - but VP9 and MPEG before it will stay a long time yet.
Sure it's nowhere near as bad relatively speaking as IE was at it's worst, but Safari is still consistently slower to make new features available than other major browsers.

This still isn't really a problem (if it gets bad enough, devs will just stop supporting it), except for on iOS where it's the only browser available, so not supporting them is not an option.

Thanks so much for the shout out! We believe that the concept of "undiscovered talent" should be eliminated globally - and that this region in particular has been overlooked for too long. In Palestine for example, 52% of computer scientists are women, but 83% of them are unemployed.

Running a startup with a social impact mission is a dream come true. I hope more people will launch businesses aiming to solve important challenges. Our world needs the creativity, talent, hustle, and funding that are so easy to find in startup communities.

Headline seems to have been changed to be more clickbaity, but interesting article:

> In his announcement, Biden urged state governors to follow his lead in granting mass clemency to people behind bars for state marijuana possession crimes, which some estimates put at 30,000 nationwide. Politico warns not to expect much from this plea. “The governors most sympathetic to the president’s goal of pardoning those with nonviolent marijuana offenses are way ahead of him, having wiped records or set up systems for people to get their convictions expunged as state lawmakers legalized weed,” write Paul Demko and Mona Zhang.

The thing is, it is OS-wide and does not work only for emails. It is not difficult to add to an application and all first party apps that have an equivalent on Apple Watch, iPhone/iPad and Mac work very well. A typical use case is looking at a web page on the phone, putting it on the big screen for whatever reason (for me it’s often to show a video). Or transition seamlessly from whatever I was doing on my phone whilst commuting to the desktop. Or the other way around. Or, having received a message on the watch, if a long reply is needed, the shortcut is there when I get my phone to go directly to the right message. Having that shortcut in a predictable and permanent place means that it’s trivial to do, regardless of the app in use.

It is not huge, but it is the opposite of the thousands paper cuts. It’s a reliable features that provides thousands tiny time savings and some small convenience. It was not uncommon for me to send myself emails with URLs of things to have a look at when at home before this sort of things made switching devices much more convenient (Air Drop also helps immensely).
This is the peak of our civilization
> Why is it that the deepest blue areas of the country have some of the most abject inequity and poverty?

Because urban areas tend to be blue, and urban areas attract more poverty (costs are higher, easier to get into poverty; but also there are plenty of public services around that make it "easier" to be poor). Poverty is also just much more visible in areas with denser populations.

I assure you that there's plenty of poverty in right-leaning areas in the US. They're just usually not as visible.

The French Art of Cheese-Label Collecting
The coaches tell you that because they're (mostly) talking to new riders and as you say working the horn isn't going to make a material difference and is bottom priority and ultimately clutters the mind of a new rider trying to deal with the situation.

What about the constitution makes you believe you have a right to privacy? Seriously.

As a motorcyclist, at night, I wish I had the appearance of a car in other motorists' fields of view!

But if it means misjudging my proximity, sure, I do not want that. Still, I think a single point of light (common motorcycle config) gives even less depth information than a pair or triplet of horizontal lights. I've run two or three lights wide on most of my bikes for decades. ATGATT and fingers crossed...
Ha, it only gets worse. Then they hire someone to help with no experience at higher pay than you. Someone who didn't work 12 hour days with no overtime and hasn't been with the company for months/years, making more than you. You don't get a raise even though inflation is at 7% and you asked for one.

Just work normal hours and clock out. If they expect more that's their problem. Would you expect a raise without doing extra work? Then why do they expect extra work without extra compensation?

Your summary of the paper is unfair. From one of the author's blog:

> Recap: BsaI/BsmBI are particularly useful restriction enzymes to use if you wanted to study a bunch of chimeric coronaviruses like the close relatives of SARS-CoV-2. The SARS-CoV-2 BsaI/BsmBI cutting sites look regularly-spaced (ish). The maximum fragment length is in the bottom percentile of all CoVs digestions in the idealized fragment-number range, the bottom 0.07% for all type IIS digestions within the idealized range, and the number of fragments is also in the idealized range. The SARS-CoV-2 BsaI/BsmBI restriction map looks a lot more like known pre-COVID infectious clones than a wild coronaviruses. All sticky ends are unique & meet other nice criteria for good assembly. All mutations separating these sites from close relatives are silent, and there’s a significantly higher rate per nucleotide of silent mutations within BsaI/BsmBI recognition sites than the rest of the viral genome.

> The odds of meeting any one of these criteria vary, from 1%-0.07% of having such a small maximum fragment length to 1/250 to 1/100 million odds of having such high concentration of silent mutations within BsaI/BsmBI recognition sites. The odds of meeting every single one of these criteria are even smaller. Much smaller.

https://alexwasburne.substack.com/p/a-synthetic-origin-of-sa...

So it's not just "5 vs 2" sites, it's the spacing of the sites, the fact that the site mutations are silent, and the fact that the "sticky ends" are unique.

This paper should move your needle toward "synthetic origin". Similar to how some other papers published in the last few months (the wet market paper among them) should have moved your needle toward "natural origin".

I'm not sure how trustworthy that post is. I haven't read it all, but there are lots of mistakes & misnomers that makes it hard to trust the rest.

> Stable Diffusion is an open source program

It's not a program, it's a model. It is also not open source, its license is "Creative ML OpenRAIL-M" which is "open-source like" or "permissive", but it does limit the usage of the model.

> has seen many variations, or forks, on the original code, all typically hosted on github, a code sharing platform. The most popular and arguably the most complex of these forks is automatic1111s fork

Automatic1111 is not maintaining a fork of the model/software but is providing a UI that uses the model rather. It was started from scratch from a user on 4chan and was taken by automatic1111 and put on GitHub, where they further continued working on the codebase. I think automatic1111 is the only SD UI that also has public codebase but is not licensed under a permissive license (automatic1111 retains the copyright to themselves)

These are things I know for sure are not true/misnomers. Which makes statements that I'm not 100% sure about, like:

> someone on 4chan used an exploit on github to extract the unique model of Stable Diffusion that NovelAI had developed and just released on their service

less likely to also be true. Also, if there was a 0day for GitHub, don't you think someone would have used it for something more interesting than leaking a image diffusion model and some associated code? It probably would also have been all over the news + announcements from GitHub, but I personally haven't come across any of them. But maybe I just missed it.

Overall, I'd take everything you read about all this drama with a pinch of salt, there is a lot of misunderstandings and misinformation about the whole thing, and that many people who "summarize" the whole thing seems to not be actual developers don't help either.
