My point is in relation to the post above, where its about Apple's marketing. It is improving, but it looks different to the average consumer when you say "we have improved the security of x" as opposed to "we have fixed these existing defects that did x".

In relation to someone being annoyed that Apple doesn't openly say the former. It's because of their marketing and image that they say the latter, it always have been.

To the average consumer they like seeing the former, but for tech heads we prefer to see the latter.
By lateral loads/shear do you mean pressure from the wind? Like, sideways pressure?

That roofing on the walls is pretty tough stuff. Serves as a diagonal brace and more. I don't think it's gonna fold over.
It's funny as I've gone the other direction. Particularly motivated by all the companies that have gone from permissive to source available citing their need for a reward while ignoring that they themselves were the beneficiary of permissive licenses has soured me on licensing any of my own stuff permissively and left me considering the GPL or AGPL specifically so such companies would have to drop any of my libraries to make such a move.
Another Washington Post irony is that they had the tongue-in-cheek but applaudable bravery to put quotes (albeit single ones) around 'Breakthrough' in their Title -- unlike other new sources trying to appear relevant by jumping on the coattails of this leak.

Well-played WP, well-played.
This has Dan Friedburg’s fingerprints all over it and is reminiscent of Ultimate Bet’s “god mode”.

Would not be surprised if this move was advised by their legal counsel.
I didn't quite follow his call-out to Signal at the end? Is Signal working in this space?
AirDrop is not limited in China. iOS 16.2, which released today, limits AirDrop to 10 minutes for everyone in all regions.
> He wrote another tweet today about how social media threatens to collapse civilization before it can be established on Mars, to the consternation and confusion of even his fans.

And hopefully his shrink.

> Maybe he's just trying to crash Twitter as opposed to restructure it financially.

That would explain at least some of his actions. It would allow him to chalk this one up to experience and move on. The path he's on right now will ultimately lead to the destruction of his personal brand (if we aren't there yet), Twitter, possibly Tesla and it has a non-zero chance of even affecting SpaceX due to national security concerns. No way they are going to trust a company like that with an unhinged leader privy to all of their secret stuff.

Which makes me wonder to what degree there is already headscratching going on there and with the respective authorities as to whether or not they have a security situation on their hands.
Take a 3-bit counter:

0->A
1->B
2->C
3->A
4->B
5->C
6->A
7->B

A and B get hit three times while C only twice, so it will see 66% utilization compared to A and B

Your average house in the city is going to get bulldozed after 30-50yr because in that time things will change enough that someone is going to want to develop the site into something else.

That article is overblown and written like it's trying to take offense.

The first thing they list is Feynman "calling women bitches" in the autobiography, but they leave out the context that it's a thought experiment his friend is proposing to him to try to snap him out of being a loser. He psychs himself up to see bar girls as users and bitches and refuses to follow their script which removes him from the patsy role and lets him reexamine the dynamic. He then says that while this works he didn't use those techniques because he found them distasteful and doesn't refer to women in a derogatory way in the rest of his memoirs.

Apparently his most serious offense was not admitting he was a professor when dating. As long as he wasn't dating students in his faculty I don't see why that's inappropriate at all.

They quote his ex-wife saying he flew into violent rages when interrupted and treat it as if he was violent to her, where the report makes it sound like he threw things around.

Flawed, sure. Enough to warrant having some snarky cancel-culture style takedown written about him and dropped in a passive-aggressive way during every semi-related conversation? Doubtful. There's no evidence, or even coherent suggestion, that he hurt people let alone enjoyed doing so.
> Apple decides what is allowed on _Apple_ devices consumers own.

It doesn't matter, the consumer still bought the device. It's their hardware, they own the iPhone. They deserve the last say over what runs on their computer. A system like the current M1 Macs (unlocked bootloader, OS with overrides) would completely shut everyone up over Apple's abuse here. This legislation is a step in the right direction.

> I’m not sure a second App Store will help with that.

If nothing else, it gives Apple an incentive to compete. Something I'd argue is sorely needed on iOS.

> I can still only see mostly downsides by creating confusion for consumers like others have said will happen.

Well, it didn't really cause any confusions when Android did it, or even when Microsoft added sideloading to Xbox. Very little evidence supports the claim that everything will fall to pandemonium when third-party stores hit iOS.
If there are other app stores, does that mean they'll be able to have different privacy rules? Or would that be blocked at the OS level? It seems like some stuff (giving the app access to your location, contacts, etc.) would be subject to OS-level control, but the recent change to opt-in personalized ads would be easily reversible by any new app store.
> AAA studios are simply used to forcing that sort of extractive behavior from users, and users are all too willing to comply.

How so? Steam is still alive and well, while publisher-exclusive stores are slowly disappearing. Sure, Epic Store still exists and has solid market share, but it's arguably more than just a publisher store.
This is excellent. I'm working on Book III of my series (https://www.albertcory.io) which takes place in the 90's, and I really want to have one of the characters dive into the pre-Web online world. Prodigy was definitely a part of that.

> We have a free market.

And look where it got us.
I would have titled it something like "Userspace is slow if you do lots of context switches/userspace transitions" (if I understand the point of the post)... but that's sort of been known for a while now. I think the novelty of this comes mainly from the inversion of control in your design, and the post explicitly points out that it's likely every single performance improvement in userspace could be equalled by kernelspace, and likely, exceeded by kernelspace.

What's really crazy is that we're talking about userspace and 10Gbit, which shows that CPUs, busses, and the interface protocols have all been scaling well with interface speeds!

Personally I don't ever increase MTU, even if there's a significant performance win, since I prefer to not place our oncall in a situation where they have to debug an outage due to MTU incompability.
They're using a CNN for the decoder, not a transformer.

Here’s hoping for a 2023 where they finally figure out how to get containers to work on Firefox for iOS. The other features are nice - but the fact that there isn’t any of the weird auto-login stuff that Chrome does between browsers and websites and that you can box different types of sites is great. Plus, they’re committed to a world with content blockers where necessary.

It’s not always great. Heck sometimes it’s barely even good - but there are times when only one option is all around passable - and I’m finding that’s usually with privacy and Firefox.
It was so nice, back before you had to worry about being the product.

I’d love a simple photo sharing service now that the only thing high-res on Facebook are the ads.
Did you contact Namecheap? What was their response?
Nothing out of the normal from what I've heard from relatives of mine that I still get along fine with (other than the first one, don't know any Q people, though apparently my parents' nextdoor neighbor is one). Though worded a bit more strongly than I hear from relatives, but that's what Twitter does by encouraging short form snotty posts. If they were on Twitter I'm sure they'd be saying similar things.
Dwarf Fortress is basically uncopyable. Lots of games have tried: RimWorld is a good example. But they end up feeling like shallow imitations, because Dwarf Fortress has been continuously upgraded for 16 years. It's the game that every first year game dev dreams of making, with incredibly deep simulation and a myriad of mechanics to play with, before they realize that it would take decades to build.

The Toady One is just the madman who actually did it.
You can speak for yourself, but you obviously haven't talked to enough people to make a sweeping claim like that. Maybe you like the vroom vroom, but there are loads of people who are forced to drive every day and who absolutely loathe the experience, whether it's because of the sunk time, the cost, the physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion that comes from sitting in traffic for an ungodly amount of time everyday surrounded by people with road rage, or just the pure danger of the thing. I reject the idea that most people won't see the sense in trading in the ability to drive whenever they want for short, inexpensive, and safe commutes, as well as the ability to live somewhere where there's actually something going on, instead of the mind-numbing dullness of the suburbs. But you like the vroom vroom. OK.

I’ve been trying to think of an RSS driven daily newspaper.

I currently use Reeder. I source in my usual news sources and HN and twitter and some subreddits.

I’m working toward a place where I can setup a feed, a frequency, and a service to use both to make an “old timey” newsprint like PDF into my inbox (or an rss feed!) each day so I can still try for that “back when papers were good” feel.
The metadata can act as a basic form of indexing (or sometimes caching, though Hydra doesn't use metadata to calculate results yet), but it's not an index in the traditional sense. It's used to eliminate stripes and blocks from consideration during a scan.

Columnar is not ideal for a `users` table where you want to select and update specific rows, often in very small, quick transactions (OLTP). You would want to continue to use a traditional (heap) table in that case. That's certainly something you can still do with Hydra, and combining both kinds of tables is considered HTAP, and something that is a unique use case of our product.

To contrast, columnar is best for "fact" tables -- data about something that happened (thus it does not change) that will be analyzed in an aggregate way. Those might be logs, events, transactions, etc.
They own an iPhone though. They deserve the right to install software they want on hardware they own, no?
That's exactly what I meant, that Verse is just a functional programming language, and that the ideas in a language like Unison seem to be just as interesting or promising.
Ehhh that's a lot more complicated than that. But sure. How many would die naturally in the same given period due to things such as disease and natural outcomes, I prefer facts to biased and somewhat radical sources. We already know the constant population during certain periods so why not extrapolate how many died to famine rather than claim it as a glob that it is not? It worsens the claims that these people are trying to portray and actually makes the Indian government look much worse. As if demanding the money and reparations rather than a conversation. It's not hard to see why nobody is taking it seriously.
Yeah, I was pretty heavily involved in the Toronto Flickr community when we used to meet for photowalks and big gatherings at bars. It was an incredibly vibrant community for a while. Such awesome folks to hang out with. I'm glad to see the site being preserved for the long haul.
I'll stick with my formulation of politicians in the US forced China to end Dragonfly, thanks.

America can do anything it wants, I just wanted to dispute the idea that it would be a reciprocal action. I think it would be a pretty big uncalled for escalation.
>...Today it is often better to simply shut down your existing nuclear plant and build a renewable instead.

That is ignoring capacity factor.

From your link we see that the most expensive power generation of all is residential rooftop solar. If cost is the concern, why support the most expensive option that also has a low capacity factor?
It's deliberate and resembles the attitude of "toxic positivity" that is sometimes brought up here; I remember reading an article a long time ago about Apple prohibiting words such as "bug" and "hang". IMHO "issue" and "addressed" are also obfuscatory. They could've just said "fixed a bug", but Apple believes it is too perfect for that.
I think being against feminism and proud to be heterosexual are perfectly acceptable, if controversial opinions. Being insulting about it is not.

Believing in well debunked conspiracy theories is your right, but doing so definitely puts you in the "weirdo" category.
Where did you see this estimate for hohlraum cost?

The NIF fired 368 shots in 2021:

As of 2004, the targets were reported to cost $2500 each:

Yeah, clearly they didn’t change the price.. But they did offer to allow you register .dev domains a few days early for an extra fee. Many people were unaware of the concept of “premium” domains (domains that would renew at a rate other than $12) and Google didn’t go out of their way to remind people that the high rate they paid when first registering the domain was going to be closer to the eventual renewal rate, not a one-time fee.
Your very post says it -- "reputable." In this field, no matter the technology, reputation and trust are everything amidst fears of rug pulls and scams, and smart contracts don't replace the need for social trust.

It's hard to name any crypto organization that was seen as more reputable than FTX before this happened.

You're talking in circles. You say you want a rules based society and you believe that society is going to work by some form of magic. That is naive. The real world doesn't work by magic.

I'll say it again: you need to learn your history.

Yes, deliberately undermined by, among other things, election deniers funded by Thiel.
I'm not sure that there's been any "promises" to break. Folks have been saying that it's possible but it'll just take time and effort.
I have been happy with Cloudflare's domain system so far. I also use Namecheap still.
This is just basic engineering:
What rate do you anticipate creating these things?
What is the upper bound rate you will create these things?
Consider if every person were a customer, how many of these things would/could they create or cause to become created? How do those assumptions change over time?
Structural insulated panels are lightweight and efficient in terms of materials, but they are a long lead time engineered product manufactured in bespoke factories for specific requirements of each project.

Which is to say there are shop drawings and you can’t just go down to the store on Saturday and strap a few to the roof of your station wagon even if you just want to build a shed.

In the broad sweep of history they are a modern product.

But in 1995 I worked with a guy who used to work at the local plant. That’s how I learned about them.

Later he and his brother built a house out of them…that’s where the panels on top of the wagon image comes from.
To have a hope of supplying grid power, they need to scale up the energy gain by four orders of magnitude and reactor run time by 12 orders of magnitude.

Those are just two of the engineering problems. It'll be a while, and I doubt it will ever compete with solar, wind, and storage.
You're right, that sentence is bad.

Maybe I should have said it isn't obviously bad or some new, modern evil that we just invented. It's how human social groups that take care of their non productive elderly have always operated.
What if, because of the new regulations, a new ecosystem of open-source iOS SDKs pops up? Developers who use those would not have to pay Apple at all, since they are not using any of Apple's IP.

Even expert programmers aren't able to check smart contracts for all possible issues.
Not necessarily, though there may be other tradeoffs depending on the approach. E.g. you could make the price base*registeredDomainCount^2 instead of base at the cost of registration privacy or you could have the max sanctioned transfer sale price capped (relatively) low at the cost of risking high demand domains be under-utilized or maybe something more inventive. After all if you can only squat a handful of domains before it becomes a loss or not worth waiting for it sure beats squatting hundreds or thousands being a valid business model.

I don't necessarily prefer any proposal I can think of I just wanted to highlight "Domain name prices should be such that squatting is unprofitable" can be taken in much more interesting ways than "make owning a domain outrageously expensive".
Yeah I have some doubts about its optimization. Would be great to get fresh eyes on it.

This is just old-fashioned fraud. SBF had a Jane Street (trad fi) background. FTX didn't operate a blockchain or develop any blockchain technology on their own. They operated a trading platform that was run on Python and SQL. Then they embezzled funds and hid the trail.

You elevate yourself to higher and higher levels of abstraction until you aren’t even here anymore. You tell people what to do but no longer have a clue what they are doing.

I’m of the opinion tobacco free nicotine (assuming this is the synthetic nicotine you’re referencing, sometimes referred to as nicotine salts) are quite a happy medium. Hopefully they would not make nicotine gum (or pouch equivalent) illegal.
Smoking tobacco is almost two orders of magnitude “more dangerous to health” than than the tobacco-free alternatives mentioned.

If they want to ban nicotine in addition to tobacco.. then that seems more equivalent to US Prohibition. Giving people safe alternatives is probably the most sustainable approach to eradicating tobacco use.

I don’t know, maybe a corollary is sex education. Abstinence only doesn’t work well compared to learning about and having access to contraception.

The paper was very clear what was involved and that information was poorly communicated. The experiment used X energy from a laser pulse to get Y thermal energy. The issue w0mbat referred to is to be self sustaining you need to use the output energy to drive the process. Aka the important number is after all relevant losses including electricity > lasers > fusion > heat > electricity, with each of those stages have losses. The reason they don’t communicate end to end efficiency is from a scientific standpoint it’s meaningless as they aren’t converting any thermal energy into electricity.

For example p + p Fusion releases neutrinos which then escape any practical device without depositing their energy as heat. This isn’t a concern with DT fusion but again the point is we don’t really care about the actual mass to energy conversion but rather the amount of useful energy obtained.
