No one can explain the confidential-NDA internal workings of Apple in this forum, but here’s a constructed, plausible, scenario that contradicts the claim “Apple implemented this for China”:

If Apple was planning to release this in a point release of iOS 16, and then the Chinese government asked them to do something, then they could have said: “We have a feature in testing that we’d planned to ship later this cycle, so we’ll push that up and soft launch it in China first and then roll it out worldwide once any bugs are hammered out.”

This constructed example both satisfies the condition “why China first?” and also contradicts the assertion “it is certain that Apple implemented this at China’s request”. It is not known whether or not, and to what degree, that Apple considered and/or acted upon a request from China.

(It is also very unlikely that China requested this “after 10 minutes” option specifically. China would rather not have unmonitored peer-to-peer communications, and Apple tends to include temporary timers in their UI for RF/GPS features.)
This seems like a better interpretation (linked and mentioned in the article):

An alternative frontend would simply be an alternative frontend to the backend... This is an alternative frontend to an alternative backend... (requests do not go from client to and from Twitter. Because of this, I find the "alternative frontend" terminology misleading at best.)

// Most romantic or working relationships have a "power dynamic," where one party has some kind of leverage over the other,

This is a very weird way to think about it. Something I realized after I got married and bought a house and had kids, is that I love it and none of it would be possible without my wife. Likewise, she couldn't have any of this without me. We are partners.

If we wanted to look for power imbalances, we could find them. Like, we could obsess over who makes more money, or does more child care, or who had a greater impact on our selection of where we live etc, but that would be a very weird thing to put front and center. Much more importantly is that both of us are willing to put a lot into the relationship and consistently get even more out of it, enabling us to lead deeply meaningful lives together.

> “This is probably the single biggest false belief about ADHD medications… Taking stimulant medications does not increase your cardiovascular risk at all, zero, nothing,” Dodson said. “Cardiologists know that these medications are dangerous and that there is lots of research to support that.”

So, which is it? Are they dangerous, or not dangerous?
If nobody ever tries to build things which are physically possible but are likely to be blocked by regulators, we will never learn what the true constraint is. Most people around us believe that economic growth slowed down to near standstill due to some physical/technological constraints rather than was regulated away. We need more people like Musk who expose the truth that the regulations and bureaucracy are the largest problem the West has been facing for the last 40 years.
I initially thought the same, but then realized the big issue with that. The x86 architecture, as it is (see below), requires that both core types appear to be homogenous. Therefore, if the E cores claim support for AVX-512 with CPUID (which would be a lie), then every application using glibc will try to use AVX-512 for memcpy (or whatever) when they shouldn't. As a result, they'd end up pinned to a P core when they should remain on an E core.

This whole mess is because AVX-512 was initially released on hardware where this distinction didn't exist. If AVX-512 was released during or after the whole P/E core thing last year, it would be possible to have applications using AVX-512 state their intentions to the scheduler (as @magicalhippo suggests). The application could say, "hey, OS, I need AVX-512 right now," and all would be well. As it is now, we're stuck with it.
If Intel allow to enable AVX-512, they need to validate functionality on every chip. Some chips may dropped (or reused as i3) due to this. There's not much reason to do so for AVX-512 that only enthusiasts enable.

It's not the assignment. It's the multiplication x * 0x1ff.

The compiler has done range analysis and knows that at this point, x is non-negative. The programmer has dilgently ensured that values are such that the multiplication can't overflow, therefore the result of it is also non-negative. That means the later check for i being non-negative is trivially true.

I feel like the introduction of "store exclusives" really grated badly on an already well established Steam user base.

Gamers, and PC gamers in particular, are quite stubborn. I suspect there's a lot of loyalty to Steam for many reasons and Epic making their own copycat store split their already well-curated libraries. That and they literally yanked games already released on Steam and moved them to Epic, so I'd say that's where most of the bad blood comes from.

Purely anecdotal, but I have observed very poor outcomes for people who started on ADHD medication when young. Maybe a biased sample, but having grown up now and seen it, I believe those drugs are poison, especially when given to teenagers and younger.
Once again I come to sing the praises of browser add-on Tweak New Twitter.

I see just tweets from people I follow, with their retweets available on a separate tab. No trending, no random tweets. Twitter the way I originally imagined it was supposed to be.

No need for any algorithm beyond what this offers, unless you're really keen on discovering random people to follow, and the people you already follow do not retweet. In which case ... you have my sympathy.
I already addressed why this is the case in my previous comment.
What kind of outcomes? Please share, very interested.

Not only that. Its UI is more legible. With standard Twitter UI I often do not notice where those "threads" end, and where Twitter's algorithmic suggestions begin; and that I should have stopped in between and clicked a little link to see more of the thread. With Nitter, a larger portion of thread is shown from the start, and just shows a clearly visible link at the bottom to another page, if there's more. It doesn't try to hook you on its algorithmic suggestions to boost engagement.

The United States spent a century with the heavily promoted ideal being a world where each adult drives everywhere. The concept of induced demand ensuring congestion was understood for almost that long but the image was popular, especially starting in the 1950s when de jure segregation in cities had to be replaced with de facto segregation in suburbs.

Boring tunnels, like self-driving cars, offers the appealing vision of saying you can remove a lot of daily misery with this one relatively cheap technology and won’t have to make any deeper changes.

Neat.

post_with_file() in api.php makes me squinty. There's a lot of dead code in there; unless I'm missing something, that function is only called from infer_faceshape(), and that function is passing a harcoded empty array for the second parameter, which means the foreach(...) loop in it never fires. Ditto for the $filename parameter and the conditional that handles it. I'd also raise some concern about passing $file_path directly to your post data; WP core does some upload filename sanitation, I think, but I don't recall how much or how good it is (or isn't), and anyone that can reach your post_with_file() function might be able to post arbitrary data to your API endpoint (but maybe your API is robust enough that that's not a big deal). WP core has some functions for handling file uploads and filename sanitation that might be helpful here, e.g.: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/media_ha...

If your plugin is only storing an API key and another setting or two, the best practice is to use WP's options API instead of creating your own table: https://codex.wordpress.org/Options_API

Overall though, Copilot produced some code that's pretty darn standard for the WP community, and knocking it out in 2 hours starting from scratch is way more efficient than I could (or would want to) knucklebust it myself. Cool!
A study of nearly 500 global hydropower reservoirs using the G-res Tool published in Water Security and Climate Change: Hydropower Reservoir Greenhouse Gas Emissions (2021) found the median value for hydropower to be 23 gCO2-eq/kWh, which aligns with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimate of 24 gCO2-eq/kWh.

Admits that wind power is actually less CO2 equivalent intensive than hydropower [1]

I took stimulants at therapeutic doses for 8 years(Adderall and Vyvanse mostly) - I think more study is needed before we can say with confidence that there is no cardio risk associated with ADHD meds.

I have no history of CVD, but on occasion these meds will give me chest pains and palpitations. So much so that I recently decided to stop taking them and see a cardiologist. The cardiologist did not note any damage, but after the chest pain, palpitations, and seeing my HR hit BPMs that would scare most doctors... I'm not confident in these results.

Can someone with time/interest check to see if there is some p-hacking going on here?
Yay, maybe I can stop having to take an EKG 4 times a year.
Yes and his motivations per se are not available to us to scrutinize. His explanation of his motivations are one piece of information we have about them among many others. Choosing to dismiss all the others in favor of that single piece of information is a choice you can make, yes. But it's not the only choice, not the most "pure" or neutral or correct. You could weigh the man's word so highly, value it such that, you personally need no other information. But then we're back where we started.
>The UK law bans anything sold primarily for inducing psychotropic effects

You may have misread, but this is not correct. The act claims to ban substances that are _only_ used for their psychoactive effect. From the act:

"The act only captures substances which are solely for human consumption for their psychoactive effects."

I'll agree it's a given the number one reason for the use of cannabis is to get high, whatever that means. That said, it's also inarguable that pain relief is a significant and not uncommon reason to use weed also. I worked in a community in south America where a group of south american Mormons (yes, the ones who don't drink coffee) grew cannabis to produce a tincture for the treatment of arthritis pain. Research seems to agree (there needs to be more, it's a new subject for modern research) that it's a useful substance in pain management.

The UK psychoactive law is non-scientific and inconsistent, which is unfortunately common. Alcohol and nicotine have real psychoactive effects, and both are sold only for their effects, yet they are legal. The difference is an established power base controls one and not the other.

That might be true, but depending on the area you live in the amount of people with 2 homes might be a big/politically active enough voting bloc that can sink any legislation. If that's the case it's better to add that exemption so you can get something passed.
Of course, left unchecked the barbarians will destroy us all! Never mind that you surround them with military outposts, are the two major oceans away from Eurasia, and have been the instigator of every conflict with them. And you have the temerity to claim the West has love, generosity, and good intentions!

I'd love to hear you explain what you think "whataboutism" means and how Western dominance over the global south is actually democratic, but something tells me continuing to engage would be pointless. It's alright, keep thinking of me as a paid shill if it comforts you.

By having a physics simulation and models of the pieces for a game, two humans can play the game. The physics simulation requires no understanding of the game rules itself.

In order to implement a game without a physics simulation, it requires that the game state (rather than the physical state) be modeled. It is that modeling of the game state and the permissible moves that requires much more work.

An implementation of Blood Bowl in Vassal ( http://www.garykrockover.com/BB/ ) requires more modeling of the game and its rules than the corresponding physics simulation in TTS ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=23365... ).

Musk made Tesla one of the most recognised brands with a similar status recognition to (say) Mercedes while not spending a dollar on advertising because Musk himself is news.

The flamethrower, so many column inches.

Tweeting that he hated traffic and seemingly off-the-cuff that he was going to build tunnels and calling it "The Boring Company" So many column inches.

Recall that he literally hired a bunch of the Onion's writers at one point. What do they do?

Being a human headline works in America even if most of the coverage is disparaging. Trump is another obvious example in the way he took control of the Republican party (the way Bernie couldn't quite manage to take the Dems) seemingly against the headwinds of relentlessly negative coverage but loads of it.

Interesting to see how Musk's blow-hard approach is going to work with twitter now he seems like he's going to call out Apple's monopoly abuses like so many others (spotify, fortnite...) have tried but not really succeeded. Going P.T. Barnum all the way seems to be necessary in the USA. We can idle time by speculating on whether Musk is a blow-hard who failed upwards or whether he's clever enough to know it and use it, playing the Musk character for all it is worth. As far as Musk himself goes I'm not really a fan but that seems utterly beside the point.

Does the P.T. Barnum thing work with smaller businesses launching? How? Any examples?

How do the outcomes compare to people with ADHD who were unmedicated? It's possible that the medicated outcomes are poor and yet still better than the unmedicated outcomes.
“The results of this meta-analysis suggested no statistically significant association between ADHD medication use and the risk of any cardiovascular events across age groups, although a modest risk increase could not be excluded, especially for the risk of cardiac arrest or tachyarrhythmias,”

So, there is a risk for now? Or the risk of a risk?
I really hope this is the case but like all "groundbreaking" discoveries, I'm going to take this with a grain of salt (because any more salt than that is going to send my BP even higher).

For me I decided it was worth the risk. I've had great BP my entire life, so since starting stimulant medication over a year ago it really does push my BP to the limit of "ok" and into the start of "let's keep and eye on it" territory, which means I'm probably overly cautious, but it's hard not to be when you notice something really different to your usual baseline. Especially since I need to take additional medication in the evening to reduce my heart rate before I go to bed or I won't be able to sleep.

I hope this opens up a treatment pathway for a lot of people who need it. Especially those with a late diagnosis for whom it would be beneficial to finally give them the space to make lasting change/progress.
Nitter.net works fine for me.

Steam deck has made it from “niche pre order thing for enthusiasts” to “niche thing I can buy whenever I want”, which is a great step.

> the primary innovation is business plan, ie limit scope by only bidding on things like small diameter, simple requirements, etc

Wouldn’t this imply bidding for utility tunnels first?

Not an expert. But I thought the Boring Company's pitch was designing a better TBM. If today’s TBMs are state of the art, the Boring Company is another general contractor.
> Wasn't that the exact idea of using UCS-2? At the time it gave you 1-1 code-points and code-units.

No. I'm saying that encodings don't matter. They are an implementation detail. Many programming languages are forever stuck with specific encodings because they exposed this implementation detail.
I wonder if they might be amenable on that one. (If any GitHub staff is reading this.)

The proposed scheme is fairly similar to Stripe's, and although Stripe mainly uses the `Stripe-Version` header for versioning, its API has also always allowed you to alternatively send a `?_stripe_version=<version>` query parameter which it'll respect.

Stripe's API implementation definitely had its share of legacy cruft that added up and made things more difficult to maintain, but out of all of it, I don't remember having to support that alternative `_stripe_version` parameter ever really being a maintenance headache. The leading underscore made sure that even as the API expanded, it never accidentally collided with parameters on any other endpoint.
