This stylish machine brings back memories. My childhood best friend had one of these. My family had a Commodore 64. When I was in 4th grade I wrote a Caesar cipher encryption program [1] using a description of the cipher from an encyclopedia and hacked-together fragments of BASIC from magazines and the programmer's reference guide [2]. It took me a week to make it work at all. It was my first substantial program that I can recall. Afterward, instead of trading notes with my friend at school, we could trade floppy disks with our secret notes [3]!

With neither of us being touch typists, and our computers being at home rather than school, this was altogether a far more expensive, cumbersome, and high latency method of communication. I think we traded notes maybe 2 or 3 times in total after I actually had the program working. I remember this project with fondness whenever I have written a script for a task that I repeat only once or twice, which still happens with some regularity.

I'm a Linux guy, not an Apple fan. But the hardware is always top notch. If you look at the MacBook: the trackpad, the sound, the battery life, the overall quality, ... I haven't found any laptop hardware that comes even close to it.

If you know a product that does, please let me know so I can buy one and run Linux on it :).
I appreciate that you are trying to help, and you are making correct arguments about the semantics of these words, but you clearly are uninformed about this subject and are providing arguments that are going to be misleading about a real medical issue that is currently hurting many people.

It is important to know when not to talk.
Yes, exactly. That's why I asked the question: to drive out the point that the ontology the GP was using was probably not terribly useful.

Although I did use the weasel word "practical" to narrow the field. If you don't limit yourself to general purpose languages, then I'm sure you can find one that is "entirely" safe.
Gimp 2.99.14 review / Goodbye, floating selection. Hello, stroked text
They didn't block it, they just wanted a 30% cut. Yes it is abhorrent to rent seek 30% of every transaction when you literally contributed nothing whatsoever to that product.
Great stuff. I like that they give directions for both Swift and Python

This gets you text descriptions to images.

I have seen models that given a picture, then generate similar pictures. I want this because while I have many pictures of my grandmothers, I only have a couple of pictures of my grandfathers and it would be nice to generate a few more.

Core ML is so well done. A year ago I wrote a book on Swift AI and used Core ML in several examples.
Many years ago I worked as a skivvy in a hotel kitchen. We never used any detergent for the crockery, it just used extremely hot water. The dishes seemed very clean and they dried very rapidly.
Some of my students had to idea to implement the solutions in Rust, but this will require a bit more of an effort...
If the random numbers can be 1-6, then yes, it would be trivial to attack. If the numbers are 300 bytes long, then it's impossible to predict.

> "I can try to be lucky and find your number by hashing random ones,"
If we were using sha-256, then you would be very impossibly lucky. There are 2^256 possible hash values for sha-256. It's extremely unlikely, that you would find a collision in the lifetime of the universe.
For the vast majority of recorded history people married someone from their village of 200 people or from a nearby village a few miles away. It doesn't matter how weird our mating rituals are when there's not much variability to begin with.

Modern urban cities provide access to a much more diverse gene pool which allows individuals to select across a much wider range of characteristics.

And if you did that I would think it was super interesting and cool too.
Surely motility is more of a worry than count ???.
If you can write a publication demonstrating quantum computers won't get there, you'd be famous. As it stands, quantum computers are improving remarkably year-over-year, both in theory and in practice. There is no guarantee, either on theoretical or practical grounds, that quantum computers will be better. Likewise, there's no guarantee of the converse.

This wormhole stuff, or more specifically the way it's presented and intentionally broadcasted, however, does a disservice to the field.
I can't speak for the original iTunes (I used it but not heavily and too long ago to remember), but I've been a consistent user of iTunes between Snow Leopard and Monterey and my experience is that it's gotten worse with every release. With Music being the worst iteration yet, and significantly worse than the last version of iTunes I used (on High Sierra).

I actually have a whole laundry list of things I consider regressions in the Music app, but I'll just regale you with the most frustrating one for my use case:

If you use Home Sharing with wired headphones, it works. If you use wireless headphones with a local music library, it works. If you use wireless headphones and Home Sharing, it does not work. The program refuses to play anything. This was a nice surprise when I first tried to use Music after getting this laptop.

(I'm actually really curious if anybody else experiences this behavior -- anybody reading please chime in if so!)
The 128 will probably work just fine today. They don't have the notoriously dangerous power supply of the C64. You might want to add a cooling fan to it, or some heat sinks on the rarer chips. To be safer, you could even test the voltages on the power supply before plugging it into the machine, and open it up to look for leaking capacitors, but it's not really a machine that fails much (yet).

The SE/30 needs to have its PRAM battery removed, it is a bunch of lithium-acid waiting to leak all over the logic board. The electrolytic capacitors on it are also fairly notorious for leaking and destroying electrical traces, but there's not much you can do about that without learning to use solder.
But the competition is compile-to-javascript, which has exactly the same problem. With WASM, you get to choose between using a generic, potentially sub-optimal GC, or having a larger payload and including a GC bundled with the application.
Hilariously (at least to me), that was the hostname for my first iPhone when I gave up on the HTC I was using and got a 1st-gen iPhone.

WinMo was SO AWFUL, man.

re: SSH clients, what does "PKD me" mean? Have you tried Blink?
It's not a strawman. Literally we're saying "you see TrustCor CA didn't do anything wrong by the books, but we can't trust them anymore because they can't articulate their corporate structure on demand after scandalous allegations". Well, I simply ask people to consider how any other corporation in the same situation would response. My bet is they'd also be less than forthcoming. And my example is Apple, who we know exploits tax loopholes via complex corporate governance structures, who everyone seems okay with trusting. It just doesn't make sense to me.
Apple may be forced to have competing app stores but:

a) They would be allowed to then ban apps that exist on alternate stores.

b) They can still collect their 30% cut which no-one has ever said was not permitted. They already have telemetry about what apps are being installed on their phones and can simply bill the third party App Store. Non-payment would result in the store being banned.

Similar situation happened when Apple was forced to support alternate payment processors in Netherlands. Nobody used it because it ended up being less profitable than simply using Apple.
Claims (2, 4, 5, 6) are very weak because you are making them absolutes (e.g. "don't stop"). By themselves, these 4 claims don't tell us what our plan of action should be. They become misinformation when they are used as recommondations because they are missing so much context.

For example, claim (6) about myocarditis is usually used to say that vaccines are dangerous and should be avoided. This is a wrongheaded examination of the risks:

https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/risk-of-myocarditis-followi...

> Given that >90% of cases of myocarditis will completely recover, that means in young men the vaccines prevent six deaths per million doses while causing <4 cases of myocarditis that have less than complete recovery. In all other groups the results are much more dramatic, saving hundreds of lives for every case of myocarditis (including the mild cases).

> We also have to keep in mind that COVID-19 infection itself causes myocarditis. ... That’s 1,500 cases of myocarditis per million COVID-19 infections, vs 40 per million in the high-risk group of young men from mRNA vaccines, and 1-2 per million doses in lower risk groups. The risk is literally 1-2 orders of magnitude (10-100x) greater from getting infected than from the vaccine.

P.S. Claim (3) misses the entire point? The point of vaccines is to not get as sick and possibly avoid getting sick altogether. "Natural immunity" requires you to have a "prior infection" as you say.

I could be wrong but I think part of the issue is this needs some large files for the trained dataset?
Split up? They're not a monopoly in the phone market and only barely have a majority market share.

I don't defend Apple's actions but I don't think this is a company-sized anticompetition problem. This is a regulation problem where it should be a user right to have access to alternate app stores, and to choose to run whatever software we want.
Oh wait....cue gluten-allergy
Well, pretty all of my attempts at humour get downvoted and anything which is controversial in the wrong way gets zapped as well. I’ve tried to answer some topics “honestly without snark” and watched it go negative. This leaves me thinking I’m not quite in sync with the readership as a whole.

But the up/down voting system can be frustrating as it can be done without comment. Often, you have no real idea why you did well or poorly.

As a guess, the readership tends to like tech stars, the business and neat programming stuff. It dislikes government, left wing politics and criticism of tech stars.
Hi all!

Location: Quebec, QC, Canada
Remote: Yes, but would prefer in person

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: C/C++/Python, but a quick learner and willing to do something completely different if I get the opportunity to learn/grow

Consider this angle: what if it's your intuition telling you that whatever you are doing isn't important and you should be focusing your efforts on something else?
Thank you for that answer! Wow, I can't believe how small the team was 6 years ago. Is that 120 engineers or 120 employees total?

Looking forward to seeing GitLab doing this well. It hits a sweet spot for a lot of organizations.
Right, that's why I used the word "practical."
Which isn't related in any material legal way to TrustCor CA, as has been explained already.
I'm slightly involved in business, not in subject, but could answer.

There are hundreds large ports in this world, and when ship transport your payload, owner MUST communicate with many govt and private structures.

And these structures are not friends to each other, remember, for example one of channels is nationalized by Egypt govt, near it strait owned by Turkey, and they are not in war state just now, but near, and they all don't love US, and from time to time make nonfriendly actions, and could achieve US sanctions.

And complex software needs good communication with vendor.

Now imagine, how consultants from same US company will work, when one country is US ally, but other is under US sanctions? - Communications will be extremely hard.

Open protocols and decentralization give perfect answer - nonfriendly countries will use blockchain, which is not owned by any subject, so they have not any reasons to block communications.

Is apple supposed to take 30% of the transaction fee when I purchase investments in an online banking app?
Oh, I know. Compensation is the best case scenario. Much more likely is that the entity ultimately responsible doesn't even exist by the time the issue is discovered.

I don't know what the answer is here either. The EU is getting much more aggressive about this, but it's already getting to the point that to bring a new product to market strictly within the law essentially costs infinite dollars.

Aviation still uses leaded fuel and we KNOW how bad it is. But the economic consequence of fully eliminating it is still too great. Literally the one chemical that we know with certainty that there is no safe level of exposure to, is still getting distributed through the air all day every day.

It's funny to me the way Prop65 turned out in some ways. When people were told just how bad absolutely everything is, people actually care less. And now the same thing is happening across the EU in a broad range of categories. Everything has at least 3 or 4 warnings on it. Most people just ignore them completely or look for a product with no warnings—which is probably just lying.
To date Elon has always laughed off any questions about demand, saying it's always going to be about how much supply they can get online for the foreseeable future. Starting to look like that won't be the case with used Tesla prices down 20% and this.
Wrapping of C libraries in a Rust interface works quite well, and makes them safer. For stable battle-tested libraries I think it's even preferable to rewrites.

Many informal rules of C libraries like: "don't call read() after close()", "pointer must never be null", or "keep this data alive for as long as the handle is in use" in Rust can be expressed using the type system, and enforced at compile time. Cleanup can be automated. This catches bugs in user code and shields the library form misuse.

> That’s 5 runtimes each running it’s own garbage collection logic.

If the WASM runtime provides a GC, then all of those languages can share a GC.
Glass is expensive to make (and recycle!), heavy, physically larger (since your container is, now, say, 0.250" thick instead of 0.025"), and much more likely to break during shipping, and presents an injury risk when broken.
It's a slippery slope though. We saw this with Google, so it's not like it's a straw man. First it's small, discrete ads to the side. Then it's the first few entries are ads, but are marked as such. Then it's the first page of entries. Then the marking disappears. (Yeah, they put it back eventually after a backlash. I wouldn't expect a company like Brave to do the same, though.)

I just go with a search engine I pay for that doesn't offer any ad-supported stuff (kagi.com). That way, I'm directly supporting the service, and they have zero incentive to start showing me stuff that other people are paying for me to see and which I definitely don't want to see.
Yes, but that's not just a language. It's a language within a certain context. But it is a worthy mention.
it's a little different. In our case we were circumventing requests to make changes to the app to get approval. We were effectively getting a free pass to ship the version with a possible App Store rule breakage, this one time, and getting it approved super fast.

Awesome. Now I just need a way to define a cross-language contract and this would be very helpful for my uses.

Ignoring performance for a second, one wonders if you could take proto and use that as the data in/out _and_ the API/RPC definition. Like many others, I've been wanting to add plugin support to my software, but I want a well-defined contract usable from others w/ complex types and known RPC calls. I think code-gen from proto for all supported client/host languages could get you there (at a perf cost compared to flat buffers or capn proto).
So basically you used it in C64 mode? My childhood friend also had a C128 (her dad did, anyway) and we used it in C64 mode.

Re: turning it on now, the consensus of the C64 fan community is that you should replace the original PSU with a new one, because the old ones were prone to failure and could ruin your computer. Maybe the same applies to the C128?

edit: ah, a sibling commenter mentions the C128 PSU isn't as dangerous as the C64's.

This may sound naive, but what are some use cases of running SD models locally? If the free/cheap options exist (like running SD on powerful servers), then what's the advantage of this new method?

The reason this is different is because the fee does not go to Coinbase at all. It goes to the Ethereum network. If cash app could prove they got zero profit from a service fee that could be one thing. In this case, Coinbase can prove exactly how much the gas fee was and that they do not take a cut of this "fee"
Sorry I missed the window for a timely reply. Yes, these are valid
serious concerns. You're right that unfocused, random denouncements
add very little. It's hard to know what to focus on these days as so
much of tech has gone to the dogs. Outrage, even at most egregious
acts has lost its edge. Naked criminality is being normalised. This
cannot be good. Thus I find I've more sympathy for (or rather, less
will to criticise) those who pour nebulous scorn and mistrust around.
They have "a point" even if they are unable to make one.
You are wrong, the built-in ad blocker does block first party ads in aggressive mode or if you manually add a rule.
But they do, all eBay transactions have a 5-15% fee and Amazon 3rd part is the same
I tried this prompt:

>The Elves take turns writing down the number of Calories contained by the various meals, snacks, rations, etc. that they've brought with them, one item per line. Each Elf separates their own inventory from the previous Elf's inventory (if any) by a blank line. Find the total number of calories being carried by the elf who is carrying the most calories. Write Python code to solve this problem.
This is the key paragraph from the problem description, plus the sentence asking for the solution.

The code it produced was correct, although it doesn't include reading the input from a file: https://pastebin.com/M00t217u

I then asked, "Can you modify the code to read the input from a file?"

Again, the code it produced was correct and it now reads from a file: https://pastebin.com/N6mcZu55

I then tried, "Can you make the code more memory efficient?".

It said, "Yes, we can make the code more memory efficient by avoiding the use of the intermediate list of lists that contains the number of calories for each Elf. Instead, we can directly compute the total number of calories for each Elf as we parse the input, and find the maximum value at the end. Here is an example:"

I'm not sure how you could fail to mention that Apple cleverly avoided Adobe's licensing fees by moving from Display PostScript to Display PDF.[1] PDF was free under GPLv2, and if I'm not mistaken, still is, so Apple shouldn't mind still using it... as long as it doesn't change to GPLv3.

Something I wish someone would build is a smarter Wireshark. "Something is hinky on my network. Figure out what it is and who's causing it."

Wireshark is awesome, but the problem is, I only need to use it about once every five years, which means I have to start the learning curve from scratch every single time. I end up following the same basic troubleshooting steps each time, but the process never gets any easier because I never remember what I did the last time.
No problem! Thanks for the read!
Seems like drawing too many conclusions from evidence while arguing against a straw man?

Defenders of C might note that Android is java and IOS is not and compare the security of those two systems and say clearly memory-safe is focusing on the wrong thing. This is equally true but no more valid an argument.

The one that really bothers me in all these language-booster discussions (that we should and need to have) is the functional programming formal verification claims. We have no ssl library written in a memory-safe, functional language that has been proven correct that has dominated the space. Heartbleed wasn't yesterday.

I look down the list here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_TLS_implementati...

And I think something is not being discussed as far as replacing memory unsafe languages of critical security infrastructure. What is it?
> contributed nothing whatsoever

The hardware it's running on?

I don't see an issue. If users have a concern, they can use another platform.

ETA: it does seem to be the kind of thing that the market will sort out... If apple is going to build a reputation for being hostile to use as a crypto transaction platform, then Android is just a quick trip to the nearest Best Buy away.
What Is QBism?
I'm not actually sure about this because it's their Wallet app rather than the trading app. If they obfuscate the gas fee behind their own transaction fee the way they do with their trading app, I believe my take is correct.

Otherwise, it actually seems way more open for debate. It's possible I am mistaken and this is a reach from Apple. It might also be that Apple is claiming that Coinbase needs to obfuscate the fee in such a manner, which sounds kinda crazy to me.

At any rate, this confusion about it being the assets themselves being cut is what I intended to be speaking about, so apologies if this response is not helpful.
