This isn't remotely true, for instance: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/oh-by-the-way-germany-spi_b_4... I also vaguely remember a 60 Minutes piece in the late 80s or early 90s about West Germans fulfilling their mandatory military service obligations by coming to the US and committing industrial espionage.

Well before the US got caught, it was well known that the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand have a mutual non-spying pact... and Germany knew it wasn't in on such a pact. It's well known that in the absence of non-spying agreements, spying is considered fair game.

After Germany caught the US spying, did Germany demand its own mutual non-spying pact with the US? I'm not aware of any such public demands, but maybe I just missed them. If no demands were made, then presumably Germany was less shocked and less hurt than it let on.

It probably turns out that, like most allies around the world, the US and Germany generally trust each other, but not to such a high degree that they're willing to give up the ability to check on each other now and then.

That might have just been luck if your 6400 isn’t brittle. In the early 2000s I volunteered in a lab full of 5260s, 5400s, and 5500s and the plastic was already brittle on the older units. The tabs on the motherboard tray were always the first to go.
This position is outdated. Apple now makes (some) money from your data with advertisements.
> the software will probably do trivial things and be very simple, that is what you are selling is the hardware itself, and that is already covered by patents.

How do you figure? In the case of something like an insulin pump or a pacemaker, sure, but once we start interfacing with nerves, especially once we start trying to communicate with them properly instead of just blunt-force stimulating a bunch of them, these devices are essentially software.

That's not to say I necessarily disagree with your conclusion. For devices that depend on patented hardware, opening up the software still works because the hardware effectively acts as a copy protection dongle.

For other devices, or for cases where the software contains critical 'secret sauce', what we need might be something more like the automotive right-to-repair legislation. Even if the device is closed source, the manufacturer must provide appropriate documentation and tooling to allow third parties maintain the device for its intended service life (which, of course, is hopefully a bit longer for a brain implant than for a hatchback!)

Yeah that's pretty inexcusable. As a comparison, common "industrial" semiconductors are often specified from -40C to 125C.
I wonder why Apple didn't turn it into a setting, like "Reduce Animations."

This is my read. arxiv + Twitter (or whatever other public platform) are the new peer review, and journals will slide into irrelevance. Probably for the best as far as truth is concerned, but the adjustment for both academia and science journalism will be rough, and I don't know which side will be worse.
What you are missing is that Brits have only two choices.

1. Bring industry in and let skilled immigrants come in so as to create a modern high skilled economy.

2. Emigrate out en mass to other countries that have successfully created modern high skilled economies.

Most countries would die to have number 1 in their own shores.
> Why should a steady 2-5% inflation rate in modern times be considered destructive to value, but not the steady 0.2-1% of earlier periods?

Because they are different by an order of magnitude. Over a 70 year lifetime, at 0.2% inflation a coin is worth 90% of its value at the start of the life. At 2%, it is worth a hair less than 25% (at 5%, it would be effectively worthless because the coin has lost 97% of its initial value). That is quite a different outcome - one of those rates I could save using coins and not do too terribly in real terms.

securelevel [1] is a similar feature from/for FreeBSD. As an example, it could be used to build e.g. a true append-only syslog server which even root would not be able to manipulate the data without a reboot or, in combination with other techniques like a capiscum-sandboxed tcpdump implementation, highly secure network appliance.. plenty of use-cases.

> "some people's votes are weighted more than others", which is an inherently undemocratic principle.

Has there ever been, in the history of human civilization, any self-styled democracy that did not weigh the votes of some people more the votes of others? Whether by sex, gender, race, wealth, education, criminal status, party membership, age, or status as an elected official, I'm pretty sure every single democratic state has continuously subscribed to some non-uniform distribution of vote weights.

With modern technology, it maybe possible to create a truly direct and equal system where newborns have the ability to ratify trade deals, but this might not be desirable.

But… I "need" those tools to undo the harm that some websites try to inflict on me. I use them almost daily to delete things like taking 25% of my window for a scrolling and animated banner trying to sell me their irrelevant-to-me Excel add-in (annoyingly, this example bypasses all adblockers, comes with a widget that resizes it to a 'mere' 5% of my window, and forgets my choice every time I load or reload any of their pages). I also sometimes use them to repair malfunctioning pages so I can actually use them as intended.

Sure, you could say that I should just use this "Developer Edition", but that requires me to have access to install it on every puter I walk up to (just to be prepared for somewhat common web attrocities like full-page elements that prevent me from interacting with the page in ways that I feel should never be forbidden).

I don't tend to see 'warning' messages in the dev console that seem to be attempts to dissuade me from using the dev tools. Maybe…twice in >20 years?
Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, witch!
I expect you're right about all of this. The famous "joined up thinking" at a national scale across a whole government is frequently what is missing. Sometimes it's missing within "only" one area such as health and social care but that area alone is already huge and almost unbelievably complicated to run.

There are probably a lot of real costs in our current healthcare system that never make it onto the books as well. For example in many parts of the country it is impossible for an adult to register with a dentist as an NHS patient right now. There are zero dental practices within a reasonable distance of many people willing to accept new NHS patients. That appears to be because the deal governments currently offer to NHS dentists makes no sense financially so it's hard to blame the dentists. But the effect is the same - many of those people are not getting regular dental check ups and preventative or early treatments. The ones who are went private and paid themselves.

That's money going into private healthcare not from the tax man but from the individual patient but that still means the individual patient no longer has that money to be able to afford higher taxes that could better fund the NHS. Unfortunately the lack of huge public outcry as this frog has been boiled only proves that a government strategy of slowly eroding even essential healthcare provision to encourage privatisation by the back door can be effective.

What are the radical differences between Likud and Yesh Atid?

(In fact, they did form a government coalition in 2013, which lasted about two years. And then there was the 2020, where the two biggest parties in that election, Likud and Blue and White (of which Yesh Atid was a major constituent), formed a government. So it happens. I'm not sure the current two biggest parties, Likud and Yesh Atid, have a radical difference in policy platform. (the most radical things the newly elected coalition government is putting on the agenda are not really from Likus). They certainly are not going to form a government together this time, but I don't think it's because they are radically different, exactly.).
I think it is 10% + payment processing fees. And not sure if https://help.gumroad.com/article/66-gumroads-fees has been updated properly - it still says increased earning will result in reduced fees:

>Gumroad's fees

>Fees on Gumroad are simple: When you make a sale, we charge a 10% fee. That’s it. This does not include credit card processing or PayPal fees. There are no monthly payments or other hidden charges, and as your earnings grow, we also reward you with decreased fees.

That said, I'll stick with them for my ebooks. The new pricing is still better than Leanpub. Also, before the introduction of tier structure, the fees were 10% + .3 (unless you paid $10 per month, which didn't make sense for low sales like mine).

Would you say the same for finding a solution to your problem in StackOverflow? My argument is that you will always learn from adapting to your situation. And on copilot I think it's the same thing, but now you are finding your solution way faster.

It's not like in the videos example case where you are passively watching something. No, you read the suggested code, execute your code, look for bugs, test it etc. Then you move on to the next step of your coding task or whatever.
If you buy a password manager from mechanical engineers but it doesn't encrypt anything because they didn't know it should, is the issue time constraints or that they didn't hire a software engineer?
People won’t feel comfortable retracting papers with errors if the practice in the industry is to highlight the retraction on a giant billboard next to items like “Scientist commits massive fraud.” If that’s the consequence for honestly correcting your own scientific record, better just to leave incorrect work out there.
I know this is not possible or preferable for all, but we plan to homeschool our kids and surround ourselves with other screen-free families. It will be a subculture for sure, but one I prefer over the culture at large. Before mobile phones and texting, kids made friends just fine. I know I did. In fact, compared to todays kids that don't want to leave the house and just be on their technology all day long, I played street sports with the neighborhood kids, went over to each others houses, went on bicycle adventures and yes, we even played video games together (Atari 2600). But even with that we were more communal and real life in that we were doing it together and interacting, laughing, commiserating, celebrating in person. This is the life I want for my kids growing up.

I'm really encouraged by these Luddite Teens. https://archive.ph/gsqDH

As they grow up, we'll explain why we're doing this. We want them to grow up with the experience that you don't need social media, etc to live a fulfilling life. And we model to them that phones are a very useful communication device and some apps can be very useful like Uber, but it is not to be an entertainment device.

> social media is the way we engage with so much art, culture, and society

I plan to take my kids to museums, plays, concerts etc instead.
Putin’s technocrats saved the economy to fight a war they opposed
Though about that as well. Few years ago I implemented a SIMD sort using those and mergesort.
I wonder why no one mentions bitonic sort? If you want to do anything in SIMD you better avoid branching as much as possible... and ideally altogether. Here is an implementation I co-authored some 10 years ago: https://github.com/zerovm/zerovm-samples/blob/master/disort/...

Sorting-networks which were already mentioned seems similar but a bit too abstract.

My code above doesn't contains values but those are easy to add I think. Of course it is better to permute fixed size pointers / offsets and not the entire blobs which can be of variable size and then it will complicate everything beyond feasible for SIMD
I see how that would help the government, but not how it would help the patients.
yes, I just remembered! JMP is more like an if...then. There was a JSR (Jump to Sub Routine) instruction on the good old C64, good times!
I make no claim to peer reviewed journals being better, I simply noted that the linked article asserted that two thirds of arXiv STEM preprints are latter submitted to such journals.

> Previous versions such as https://arxiv.org/abs/math/9810162v1 clearly link to the latest withdrawn version, ...

Thanks for that note; that appears to apply to a succession of papers that each replace a prior version.

The statement made in the linked article that I quoted suggested that papers that are later withdrawn are NOT annotated to identify that have been withdrawn.

If we look to the latest version of that paper:

https://arxiv.org/abs/math/9810162

We can see that the author has added a comment:

> Comments: The paper has been withdrawn due to a crucial mistake in the arguments

but no other "meta" annotation has been added (such as the one you pointed out).

It seems the linked article is asserting that had the author NOT made that comment then there would be no other indication that paper had been withdrawn due to error.

In fact I'm not entirely sure what withdrawn means .. given the paper remains on the site.
To my mind it’s a bit of a trick question intended to bait Jobs into comparing apples to oranges. OpenDoc’s goal seems to be something of an early fediverse (shoot me if you disagree): a component framework that would allow applications to aggregate/compose/edit/display documents or subfragments thereof simultaneously from a federated network of sources, in an open standard that would allow anybody to roll their own UI. Java, completely different, is I suppose most comparable to this in the notion that Java is portable/run anywhere. Perhaps there was some equal footing between the two in the realm of licensing as well.

Jobs straight up dances around the question to basically say (in pretty unclear terms) “I don’t know how or want to sell OpenDoc because of my product philosophy, so we’re not gonna bother with it.”

However, instead of just bluntly stating ‘I don’t know how to sell OpenDoc’, Jobs goes on a self contradictory rant about asking his executive staff “what great things can we give our customers (why would the exec staff know)” rather than “what great tech can we sell”. They’re the same fucking question, unless you’re Steve Jobs, and decide that you can force people to work insane hours to build something that doesn’t exist and then take all the credit for it.

> It amazes me how being competent is enough to make you the best thing in Star Wars.

Really, Andor is the best sw thing since The Empire Strikes Back. The first episode of Mando was OK, but then it continued in the style of 1960s TV western which isn't my thing.

In general star wars is meh. It's like The Who: all energy, little musical talent (which was great at the time but doesn't age well). Except most SW movies don't even have energy.
That's not how it works. it is "on top" of the previous, sure, but the same way as if I add 8 to 2 and give you 10, you can't possibly get the original number is 2.

I'm not sure that follows. Couldn't you also say "it looks a lot like an energy efficient country"?

The Core i7 in my laptop uses a fraction of the energy of the Pentium III in a desktop a couple of decades ago, but I certainly don't want to go back to the P3 today.
> FTX passed a GAAP audit and was still broke

Not a finance pro, but as I understand it:

A GAAP audit is not a test for whether or not you are broke.

It is also not a test of whether your financials are honest (except in a very limited sense).

It is a test of whether or not your various pieces of financial information are internally consistent given a standard set of definitions of how pieces should relate, and therefore that summary documents like the balance sheet are accurate, assuming the accuracy of underlying records.

While it is an important quality of work check for internal accounting, if you wouldn’t trust a company without a GAAP audit, there are very few scenarios where having the audit should significantly move the needle of trust.

Nuclear is typically under 80% availability, with the three usual examples of "cheap fast" programs being even lower. The only exceptions of note are the US whose program is horrifically expensive -- and to get >90% requires some accounting tricks like spending big money on upgrading rated power without changing the nameplate and ignoring all the failed projects that were still paid for -- and China.

The wind blows more consistently by having a higher hub height or putting it in a better place. Both are being done which is why, contrary to your claim, every year the capacity factor of new projects increases.

No there is no information passing through if the opacity is 100%. I have seen people attempting to redact using the pen or paintbrush tool, however, and opacity is often not 100% when doing that.

I have also seen people try to redact by drawing a black block on a new layer in Photoshop, for example, and then exporting as PDF. They're unaware that the layers are being exported in the PDF and the block can be removed. Always flatten your document completely before export.
That's a pretty reasonable takeaway. Measure your hot loops and ideally incorporate a benchmark into your CI (to avoid regression).
It doesn't really matter what the compiler people classify as different kinds of optimizations. If the function call is gone, it's inlined. From a user standpoint I don't really care if it's not technically considered an "inline" by the gcc team.
