I also don't believe this is "responsible" disclosure, but I also don't think it's fair to say this information is of no use.

To me this clearly signifies that there is no back-end authentication on their API. The whole app is probably written in JS with a simple database on the backside with no serious middleware on the server side. It would probably not be difficult to reverse engineer this hack by monitoring requests using simple dev tools, and then simply replaying them with altered content.

I ask a lot of questions that I preface with: I hope you are slightly insulted by the questions I'm about to ask.

They get progressively more complex as we go, but the candidate is fully aware they are filter questions that I hope they clear with zero effort.
Indeed, it is not the case. Android has far more apps that respect privacy than iOS has, and (unlike iOS) it lets you set them as defaults.

There’s some salesmanship in boring but critical work also.

A younger me would scoff at needing to “sell/pitch” my work, but limited attention spans are real; busy bosses have no time to read the code.

For the boring yet critical work, a simple way to show progress is “it used to take X effort to do this, and with latest improvements, it takes (X-y) effort, saving $.” Just make sure ‘y != 0’.
It's 60 minutes as a very high estimate. You might spend a life time together.
That doesn't answer my question. I'm saying that you can't recover the file in any realistic way, in a reliable way. Once you close the file descriptor, the file is gone.

According to Apple, Safari history and bookmarks are end-to-end encrypted and Apple cannot read them:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303

Is there any evidence that Apple is lying, and is actually decrypting them somehow and using them for advertising purposes, rather than for the "coherence" feature?

I don't actually want browsing sessions to be unified across devices, so I do wish that it was turned off by default. (Though being able to close tabs remotely is a sort of interesting capability.) However, it doesn't seem to be actual spyware used for advertising or tracking purposes.
Apple wants to control your device because if you have too much control, you could create a situation that makes you, a government, Apple as a business, application developers, or other users feel that Apple did something wrong.

Whenever there is a centralized entity with the power to change things, people will eventually treat it as though it is responsible to change them. This is why we need decentralized systems. Freedom, choice, and efficiency for users comes from using decentralized systems — like the web + browsers.

I don't think the argument is good enough to justify their behavior. But it is why they do it.

Haha, yes, I should have made that more clear - I only meant lubricate if there are any bearings or rolling surfaces, definitely not on the parts that are meant to grip! I had an old printer where one end of the steel roller was in a simple plastic bearing and it was squeaking, a drop of oil fixed it. But I'm not an expert, maybe that wasn't a great idea.

If we’re truly worried about the cost here, there’s plenty of other things we could take that money from that I would happily support.

Yes, but the person I was responding to was talking about PWAs.

If you can install an alternative app store through Apple's app store the learning curve might be lower, but I'm not sure. Ultimately none of this would be an easy thing for most users.

I think the best solution would be to require Apple to allow repositories (like Fdroid and Linux have) to their store. The end user wouldn't have to learn anything new since the app store would be the same.
Why would you object to calling it oat milk? It's simple, descriptive, doesn't deceive anyone. It's not a coincidence that in most (all?) languages coconut milk is a just coconut + milk in that language. (Using coconut milk as an example since it is a much older product than oat milk)

- property manager put a lock on the door 3 days before I had to be out, went in and removed a few of my animals. Took the bitch to court, to this day I'm not sure if she was unaware that there are laws on the books in my state SPECIFICALLY to deal with that exact situation.

- VP got pissed off at me and told my manager to write me up. I refused to sign the document, immediately quit, and she was fired roughly 8 months later. 10 months later that same manager contacted me wanting to hire me (I refused).

I could go on, but I won't. If you've never dealt with a malevolent person who actively wanted to take advantage of you in over 30 years, congratulations. But that sure as shit isn't normal.

Flashing an unsigned (or potentially differently signed) bootloader burns fuses. Sure. However, other manufacturers don't just burn fuses, you specifically need to apply for permission to flash your bootloader e.g. https://www.oneplus.com/support/answer/detail/op588

Samsung at least don't require personal details for you to take control of your device. Sure, you lose access to some multimedia, but don't blame Samsung for that, blame Widevine DRM certification. Knox goes out the window, but the entire point of Knox is to (try) guarantee a device isn't tampered with. At least you can remove it!

I'm actually grateful for the schoolyard bullies as they helped to prepare me for life as an adult.

I was surprised Andrew Ross-Sorkin let him speak for the dealbook interview today[1] (You can see a lot of the interview clips on yt now). He did ask some tough questions but SBF was allowed to say whatever he wanted in response and was given space to speak without pushback. Maybe Sorkin wasn't prepared for what SBF answered but then why have him on? I don't think the interview should have happened at all for that reason. I guess we shouldn't assume guilt but we should avoid allowing someone to run PR for themselves also. The audience even laughed along with Sorkin and in reply to some comments SBF made. It was strange given what happened and even Sorkin read out a letter of someone who lost a lot of money but they're joking.

This is Andrew Ross-Sorkin who is supposed to be a pretty respected journalist or at least I thought. This isn't a mistake, and I don't think they're stupid either. SBF seems to know how to appeal to journalists pretty well. What the motives of the journalists are is more complicated.

That's a ridiculous comparison, the Android kernel patchset is tiny https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common-patches/

It consists of "massive" changes such as:

and

I suppose any distro backporting fixes is also not Linux? RHEL definitely can't be Linux if Android isn't.

It's a great way to weed out the junior devs that cheated their way through school (or are too dumb to figure it out via stackoverflow) and the senior devs that haven't actually done any real programming in a long time.

An engineer at our competitor got laid off and my PM found out and hired the guy to do FPGA work. My PM knew the guy through some contracts we had with the competitor and assumed he was an expert in the field. Turns out the guy was more of middleman between program management and the engineers so while he could talk about the work, he hadn't really done it in like 10 years. My PM got the hiring expedited and since we don't really do interview tests in our industry, the guy was now on our team before anyone could ask any pertinent questions.

Long story short, the FPGA team starts assigning him work but it's taking way too long and he's asking for more documentation and for help on things that he definitely would have worked on in his supposed previous job. Eventually we all figure out that he kinda overstated how fresh his skills are and we transition him to a sort of documentation role so he wasn't burning hours on things he just couldn't handle. While he was perfectly capable of doing that kind of work, it involved a lot of insight to our design so it took him a while to get onboarded to the system and able to properly describe the design. Eventually he was doing good work and got the project to the point where he wasn't needed but he left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. We could have hired two junior engineers to do the work he was doing for the same price and probably gotten it done much faster. After the guy transfered over to another project, we reamed out our PM about his hiring decision and begged him to give us some input next time. Of course, due to the waste of money from the last guy, the functional managers stopped taking hiring inputs from our project and would just assign whoever the fuck they thought we needed despite the kind of roles we actually needed.
First direct bulk synthesis of rare-earth-free hard magnet tetrataenite
>Despite many attempts with diverse approaches, bulk synthesis of tetrataenite has not been reported. Here it is shown that with appropriate alloy compositions, bulk synthesis of tetrataenite is possible, even in conventional casting at cooling rates 11‒15 orders of magnitude higher than in meteorites

Tetrataenite, an alloy of iron and nickel, is a hard magnetic material with a magnetic energy product comparable to neodymium iron boride, is stable at room temperature but not at high temperature and historically believed to only form through extremely slow (>10^6 years) crystal relaxation in iron-nickel meteorites. Nanopowder tetrataenite has previously been synthesized by various deposition, decomposition and milling processes, but these powders are not easily converted into macroscopic magnets, and generally produced in small amounts.

In this study, an intermetallic iron-nickel-phosphorus-carbon eutectic is shown to precipitate bulk tetrataenite as dendritic crystals upon annealing at industrially useful rates, demonstrating a potentially highly significant pathway for the production of permanent magnets from common materials.

> In the industry there's a strong avoidance of ARM compute instances for no good reason.

Not no reason; it adds work and risks incompatibility. Now, that work might be relatively small, and most software these days is compatible with aarch64, but compared to amd64 (which is the de-facto standard, already supported by everything, the default without needing to set anything up) it's still something, and businesses are risk-averse.
Censorship and moderation are very different things. Moderation is more about format than content: too frequent posting, adding hyperlinks to irrelevant sites, intentionally poor formatting (all capslock) and so on. And moderators are usually public figures, because the rules are simple and widely supported. Censorship is "wrongthink moderation": censors dont care about format of the message, but care about the thought behind it. Censors are usually anon figures and the rules are usually unpopular and secret for this reason.

> Maybe we need an actually viable Linux phone for tinkerers, while also having a locked down iPhone for the less tech literate? Maybe Apple can introduce a less locked down version of iOS for power users?

A key problem with this is volume.

Most people fall into the "less tech literate" group, which means that the devices made for that market will be better (more capable and/or less expensive).

Maybe there's a solution (I'm think about "developer mode" and "linux development environment" in Chrome OS); but I think it'll always be not so great in the best of cases.

> Digital chips for borrowers: they issue Layer 2 chips to borrowers, in exchange for a loan agreement in which the customer promises to return a larger amount of Layer 1 money to them in future than what the chips promise to them now (in a sense, the bank ‘buys’ a higher-value long-term promise by issuing lower-value short-term promises, but exposes itself to risk in the process).

This is not true. I pay layer 2 chips to pay off my mortgage. I am not sending cash to the bank, they transfer layer 2 chips from my bank account every month.

Not only that, but the central bank never touches layer 1 money either. They also just transfer layer 2 money into banks.
You can definitely define an abstract concept of telemetry which generalizes over use cases, and which can be expressed as a single schema that can be collected generically. The problem is that this definition is too general to be practically useful.

The whole ball game for observability systems is optimization for specific consumption use cases. That _must_ occur at the point of origin, it _cannot_ be deferred. OTel says that it's possible to define a general-purpose exporter for arbitrary telemetry data, and that specialization and optimization of that generalized data can be done later, downstream. This is simply not true.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned GPT-4 and the wild speculation about what capabilities it will have. The blog post we're discussing says things like:

> We are excited to carry the lessons from this release into the deployment of more capable systems

so I immediately assumed that ChatGPT is basically a ruse for generating training data that will be used to ensure GPT-4 passes the Turing Test.

It's unlikely that OpenAI would have set out with that as their primary goal for GPT-4, but it's been two and a half years since GPT-3 came out (twice the time span between GPT-2 and GPT-3) so it's possible they realised while developing GPT-4 that it would be theoretically capable of passing such a test, and if they didn't aim for that milestone, then one of their competitors would beat them to it.

I know that a lot of commentators and researchers are becoming increasingly cynical about the value of passing a Turing Test, especially as it requires the AI to be capable of deception (which has various ethical and safety implications), but I still think that OpenAI would be tempted to try to pass it if they thought they were close with GPT-4. In particular, I think that the incentives point towards OpenAI creating a carefully stage-managed version of the test, using unsophisticated judges, such as school children (or rogue Google engineers?).

Even with all the caveats of such a test, I think GPT-4 could be meaningfully described as "AGI" if it ends up being able to hold interesting conversations and solve mathematical problems and produce digital art and play Atari games and write code snippets, all using the same internal model.
You mean unix, and yes, Windows is the odd man out and as such is the most difficult in terms of cross-platform compatibility.

As someone who works pretty much full time in and on Julia, I think the best answer is "it depends" (mainly on who you are and what production looks like for you). If production for you involves sticking code on a microcontroller, give us a few years. If it involves writing a giant web-server, you absolutely can, but we don't have a great reason for you to bother yet.

On the other hand, if production for you involves simulation, optimization or lots of data munging/analysis, you should very strongly consider it. JuMP is great for optimization (and being used in production to among other things optimize power grids). The DifferentialEquations ecosystem has by far the best solvers out there. The PDE side is very WIP, but for ODE's and DAEs Julia is significantly better than anything else out there. The DiffEq ecosystem is used in production possibly most notably by Pumas.ai which has been used in the development drugs and vaccines that are in use. The data analysis side of Julia has less in terms of stand out packages, but has the advantage that unlike low level languages, you get a lot of expressivity (better code reuse, lots less boilerplate, and interactivity), while compared to high level languages, you don't have to shove all your computation down into low level languages to get good performance. You can just write the code to solve your problem without caring about fitting it into a framework or reciting ancient runes to please the compilers of the past.

The bigger picture is that if you work in Python or Matlab and you have a program that runs in more than 15 minutes, you should strongly consider switching to Julia. Conversely, if you are working in C++ or Fortran and are annoyed about dealing with UB, needing a preprocessor because your language isn't powerful enough, or not having a good build/dependency management system, Julia is definitely worth looking at.

There are definitely some gripes I have with Julia's developer experience, but it also has some great parts. The REPL is great (before I came to Julia I hated REPLs but Julia's is really good). Package management is great (including for binary dependencies), and there are a lot of tools built in to let you interactively ask the compiler about all sorts of things.`@which` tells you where a function was defined, `@edit` lets you jump to some code and start messing with it, there are a bunch of `@code_<X>` macros that let you inspect each step of compilation all the way down to native code.

Lastly it depends on your team and what experience they have and what they are willing to learn. Julia has an interesting habit of taking scientists who only cared about their domains and turning them into compiler developers (or experts in solving numerical differential equations). Julia is in some ways fairly close to Python, Matlab, C++, and Lisp but in other ways is very different. If you come to Julia and try to pretend it's a normal object oriented language, you will be fighting it every step of the way, but if you are willing to try something new, it is really powerful.
Our company issues laptops yes, because everyone can choose to either work at home or in the office.

That said, we also supply external monitors, keyboards and mice for anyone who wants one, and every worker has a discretionary budget to spend on home office accommodations (chair, standing desk, etc).

I also suspect if a developer specifically asked for a desktop computer and could (lightly) justify the need for it, we would get them a desktop, and a laptop.
