It’s an exaggeration but with some truth to it. Outside of openings and end games the top move for a chess engine is often different from the top move for a player. That said, grandmasters do of course often play the top engine move.

Human players are dealing with both human limitations and human limitations which really changes the game. So a grandmaster can for example benefit from playing a slightly weaker but less well known opening that they have recently studied in depth with the assumption that their opponent hasn’t done the same.
Sounds interesting. But I don't like the business model on the website.

Maybe create an intuitive to make arts/theatre productions based on the concepts? (and get revenue from per-ticket-sales / per-artwork-sales / wonderfruit-like-festival-entrance-fee ?)

How do you figure? If a company never reports an incident, how would the government regulator know about it?
Yes, you cannot just download any random binary from the internet unless you use a FHS because those libraries are compiled for Distros using a default file system layout.
Correct and agreed, hence my "but works" portion of the comment!

The notion of portability is Docker's bread and butter. With proper version pinning you _might_ get lucky with repeatability too. Most people anticipate repeatability to be part of portability, but it really is a distinct notion.
Yes, there’s a park in the center.
> What are its weaknesses?

I think is easier to see this with what is their main strength: A declarative/reproducible OS setup. Is AMAZING for server deployment (like what you put in a docker file but that not mutate after it).

But I don't think will be so nice for day to day use. That is where a mutation OS is easier.
Ha - right. I hear people say, “Save for retirement!” I’m sorry… but at this rate of inflation, and this rate of political instability, and this rate of national debt, I’m pressing X to doubt the US (or at least the economy of it) will still exist by the time I retire. At least not in its current form…

In which case… I’ll probably have as many kids as I can afford and hope for the best at this rate.

Worth remembering the US is the longest-running country with the same constitution (Britain doesn’t have one and has changed politically in significant ways compared to the US in the last 240 years). All good things come to an end. The US is statistically overdue.
> This is what happens when there are non-technical folks in the upper-echelons of an organization.

Technical people can forget things and then try to play "shoot the messenger" just as well as non-technical people can.
That is an excellent observation. There is something special about living inside the same, consistent environment. You can reach productivity peaks that are impossible to achieve with an heterogeneous collection of tools.
Great news for the US. Great news for Apple, AMD, and Nvidia.
Not so good news for Taiwan. The fact that the whole tech world is dependent on chips produced in Hsinchu is a huge advantage for the safety of Taiwan. Moving the fabs and talent further away from the island will not benefit the people of Taiwan at all. TSMC with its global influence has been a huge factor for guaranteeing safety of the island and peace in the Taiwan strait. On the other hand, TSMC is a corporation like every other and does what's best for their business. Most likely it's a huge win for everyone holding their stock. Are we going to see fabs in Central/Eastern Europe next? I'd hope so.
Your build quality comparison is off, a cheap $500 laptop should be compared to prior years Macbook Air M1 which is $300 more, not $2000 more. A $800 macbook has far better build quality than any $500 Windows laptop, probably better than most $800 laptops. Its Windows that's the issue for me. Having too many bad experiences and strong bias against Microsoft, I choose Apple because its not MS and it does work vs. tinkering with stuff on Linux.

Apple phones are usually behind in whiz-bang features that Samsung and some others have but my opinion is killer features for smart phones are in the rear view mirror by a few years. Any of them are just fine and its more about the ecosystem and purchase history at this point (i.e. switching and you'd have to buy things again).
So in summary, Twitter was already running itself to the ground quicker without the 'Deep Cuts' and has always been running in a very extremely inefficient manner with rising operational costs which that justifies the radical shakeup and cutting of employees needed to save it.

Not much of a surprise there, but necessary to significantly reduce these operational costs despite all the deranged and exaggerated scare stories of the immediate and complete collapse of the blue bird site.
Seconding this. I ran Silverblue until recently due to some bugs in Kinoite but switched as soon as possible because GNOME sucks.

Its the first distro I've used in 20 years that doesn't feel like a stiff wind could cause the whole thing to collapse and catch fire in an unrecoverable way, while still allowing me to run any software I want instead of just what is in some limited curated repo. And unlike Nix, I didn't need to learn a new language to use it.
Drew doesn't list his two blog posts about qemu at the end, but those are among my favorites on his blog.

I've always hoped for more, some kind of "qemu cookbook" with magic invocations, since he must have dozens of cool examples, between build.sr.ht, Hare, his RISC V stuff and so on.
That statement practically applies to every internet business. What would happen if they all left the App Store?

What would happen if Roblox, Spotify, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder, TikTok, etc. pulled their apps from Apple's platform?

I imagine they'd all take a grave hit to revenue but Apple users would be furious.

The Gish gallop is a rhetorical technique in which a person in a debate attempts to overwhelm their opponent by providing an excessive number of arguments with no regard for the accuracy or strength of those arguments.

You can do what you want by creating your own self-signed certificates. It's not that hard, just a couple of openssl commands. Browsers will throw up a big scary warning that the certificate can't be verified (as you'd expect), but most browsers let you click through that warning, and you get encrypted but unverified traffic.

Another annoyance that totally disappears if you disable JS. In fact, except for perhaps the "I have never seen them used for any legitimate or useful purpose" point, the content of the article could be about JS. As a bonus, fake warnings on the page may also disappear.

I completely agree with the author about how hostile the "modern web" is. At least push notifications are dubious in value from the start, but unfortunatelY JS seems to be trying to replace built-in functionality of the browser like rendering static content.
Central banks just print more money as needed to provide the amount needed to handle transactions. Or if they don't (or there is no central bank, if you're on a commodity gold standard), there is deflation, so the same amount of money as before can handle these transactions. Putting money under your mattress is a gift to society at large, as it means that you don't consume resources that you would have if you spent it.
That's what all browsers do and i'm sure mobile safari will do it too once the feature arrives.
Authors are here to answer questions! To add a little bit of detail:

Extism is an open-source universal plug-in system with the goal of making all software programmable. Easily embed Extism into 13 popular programming languages (server or browser) and safely run high-performance WebAssembly plug-ins inside your code.

What does it mean to "make software programmable"? Simply put, you can give end-users the ability to extend your software with their code.

Plug-in systems are usually implemented in 3 ways:
1. execute a binary that is external to your process (like protoc)
2. re-compile a program with an implementation of some interface
3. dynamically link to native code / dlls

All 3 have major trade-offs on the performance-to-security ratio. Extism provides a way to "have your cake and eat it too" in a sense, that it doesn't compromise security for performance. True, executing WebAssembly as we do here is not running at fully native speed, but it's darn close. And its sandboxed architecture offers the security you want if you're considering an alternative to dll/dlopen.

We're only getting started here, and welcome feedback good and bad. Please join our Discord[0] if you want to chat, or open issues on GitHub[1].

Thanks a lot. I see some apps with transcript support.
Some of them have transcripts and some of them not.
This will solve my problems of having a podcast index as I was having major issues in getting a list of podcasts to transcribe and this will help.

Maybe I can also put my app with them but need to read about it first about the compliance.
Kind of late to the party here, but there is a major thing provided by Flash that's missing from today's web: the ability to get artists and hobbyists into creating interactive digital experiences. The current web sucks at that because it doesn't provide a seamless path to upgrade one's artistic talent the way Flash did for people who were already familiar with digital art tools.

For a "service based" password manager, sure. (It can prevent the service from ever handing over your encrypted database to an attacker.)

In a local password manager, it doesn't work like that. A challenge-response mechanism can help there, but the cost/benefit analysis looks pretty different there, IMO.
Alternatively, the slight variation where even shipping good clean robust code was easier in the old days because the product was much smaller and didn't have years of accrued product and technical decisions to work around or unpick, all of which were good at the time but don't work a few years later.

The "maturity makes things slower" thing can apply even if the quality of code was always good.

While I love 2x2 matrices, there are two incredibly important things missing. The first is the career of the PhD students you (as the faculty) are mentoring and supervising. Sure, you might do fun things, but if it ends up not helping their career, then you as the faculty have really failed them.

This issue of students is something often missing in discussions of the modern research enterprise. Speaking as a computer science faculty, if a PhD student wants to compete for an academic job, they need about 1 publication per year. Sure, back in the 1970s and 1980s you could get a CS faculty job with just 1 good publication, but that's not the case anymore. Of course, everyone is doing this, which then leads to more publications overall.

The second is the overall funding of science. There's an unstated compact that the public is funding science to help solve important problems and lead to breakthroughs that can advance the economy. This is the framework that has been in place in the USA since WWII thanks to Vannevar Bush, and is why NSF, NIH, and other funding agencies exist. Sure, as researcher, I strongly agree that we should be doing things we view as fun. But those fun things should have some angle as to why others should care. Another way of framing this is Pasteur's Quadrant, which is good science and good applications.

The more general advice I give to all students (undergrad, MS, and PhD) when looking for jobs: do something that is (1) fun (because there are many job opportunities in our field and life is short), (2) something that will keep pushing your boundaries (because you're smart and will be bored otherwise), and (3) good for humanity.

A FHS adds slight overhead to a package and to launch times. It also shadows part of the file system. For example /lib would probably be different for every other program which would be even more confusing.

Access to talent is a huge factor. One of the biggest obstacles of creating a US fab was the lack of access to cheap talent (in contrast to Taiwanese engineers that work long hours for relatively cheap money and are widely available - of course comparing to the US, in Taiwan they are among the highest earners).

It's not, but for people desperately hoping for crypto to recover, "your savings disappeared because of that crypto-bro's you trusted ignorance" is a less bad spin than "your savings disappeared because of that crypto-bro's you trusted malice"

That's an interesting thesis - but, for example, Greece with its "let's piss money away without control for anything and everything" somehow hasn't become an industrial powerhouse either... so it might be that austerity (or lack thereof), in general, isn't really such an important factor?
Things were already heading that direction before the CHIPS act. The geopolitical issues with China have been a major concern for a while now. Not to mention the general business continuity concerns with everything coming out of a handful of countries/factories.

I have a feeling some of the numbers are extremely inflated from their actual values.

0.54 petabytes of “tweet” data a day, no multimedia, seems extremely high. This also assumes no compression or LUTs, which would make it multiple orders of magnitude off.

The multimedia as well leaves me with questions, how much of it is original content? What’s the rate of deduplication (because many people post the same non-original content)?

I’m sure they work with orders of magnitude of data larger than most of us are working on, but I highly doubt that Twitter alone contributes to 5-10% of Amazon AWS total revenue.

Seems like there's a missing variable in this calculation: it estimates 7000 QPS for _posting_ tweets but doesn't include any information about _reading_ tweets. Those 150M DAU are presumably reading a lot more than two tweets per day...

OTOH, perhaps that omission makes this a more accurate representation of how Elmo makes decisions. :P

I like this strategy, but I don't think it's necessarily clear cut: while taking the queen is forbidden, the opponent also has the opportunity of putting their queen en prise.

So you end up in this scenario where both players are taking one another's pieces while leaving their queens en prise the whole time. Is it a draw, or is there some clever way to break this loop?
Another small correction: In order to MITM https, you need access to either a trusted root certificate and key, or a key & certificate with the CA bit set, signed by a valid root CA.

I want to point out the cognitive dissonance here. Spotify is a subscription based product that completely removes your ability to own and control your music (I lose songs all the time super frustrating because of whatever deals spotify has in the background with the record labels).

Your comment while valid doesn't really work with the example Spotify CEO railing against Apple. That said your frustrating is valid and there are many good points here as to why that model is no longer in vogue and you might be the minority in the public (I sympathize with you).
Is AI Formula Generation a Solution to Spreadsheets’ Biggest Problem?
I believe the primary reason was tax-related, but the secondary reason is that there is already substantial personnel in the area who are experts in chip design and fabrication (Intel), with a strong pipeline for new talent from local universities for those skills.

Surprisingly, the area is also one of the largest Taiwanese communities in the U.S., which is a bonus for the engineers and their families who will be relocated from the "mothership".

Also, it's actually quite common for high-level Intel staff to fly back and forth from Portland and Phoenix. I am not sure if the same would be said about Taiwan and Arizona, but if they have staff in SV it wouldn't be too far-fetched.
Eboy were the definite leader of the early-oughties isometric pixel art fashion. At first I liked it a lot, but after a while, it went everywhere and became a bit tiresome.

I found it interesting around that time that user interfaces finally got to have less visible pixels due to higher resolutions and full color antialiasing, as well as proper 3D graphics, and yet the retro pixelated pseudo-3D style was trending so much.
I'm sure people out there do have some use cases, and as the screenshots in the guide show you can still manually turn on specific notifications.

Personally I haven't had any use cases for them and they have only been a source of frustration.

That's absolutely not correct. Besides, I have more respect for the security and operations procedures for AWS, GCP and Azure than I do for 99% of startups running their own infrastructure.

But my primary point is that you seem to be arguing that being on prem is inherently more secure, and more importantly, being in the cloud made LastPass less secure, despite the fact that the breach vector in this case would have been equally effective regardless of whether they were in cloud or on prem.
