RE: personally stored keys are less secure ...this is very subjective. You don't "hand" your wallet keys to an exchange: you don't even have them. Meaning "your" CC is a lot like "your" USD in a bank: subject to taxes, send restrictions, asset freezes, IRS audits, and a whole host of other unnecessary and inconvenient crap. Being taxed on CC gains relative to the USD is ultimate hypocrisy. It's like being taxed on swiss francs or yen you hold if the exchange rate changes... except instead of an unlimited write-off for losses like traditional forex, the cap is $3000 to form a one-way YoY tax valve.

Literally nothing about the government's stance on or (severe lack of) understanding of cryptocurrencies makes any sense other than it definitely reminds me of good ole' Reagan: "If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."

RE: if something happens to you ...that is an excellent point. You wouldn't get this without an exchange, yeah. If subjecting yourself to all of the above to reap this benefit is worth it to you, that's a favorable tradeoff to make and one you definitely should.

I think you're wrong, because Jobs actually does answer the question: "people like this gentleman are right, in some areas. there are some things opendoc does, even more that I'm not familiar with, that nothing else does". He does start talking about Apple in general, but simply in service of explaining why they're not supporting OpenDoc anymore. Politicians rarely support their views by saying 'no' then explaining why, instead diverting away to something only tangentially related and not addressing the initial concern.
Apple goes through a lot of effort to keep control of the system out of their customer's hands.

What do you see as non-neutral?
BASIC was designed to be learned in an afternoon. Nothing wrong with Pascal, but it's drastically more complex to learn and to implement. The original BASIC user manual was just 23 pages long!

https://www.dartmouth.edu/basicfifty/basicmanual_1964.pdf

The goals on page 1 are particularly relevant: 1) easy to learn, 2) efficient/compiled, 3) stepping stone to more advanced languages (s/Algol/Pascal/), and 4) general purpose.

This simplicity paid off for early microcomputers and microcontrollers which could fit a BASIC interpreter, hardware drivers, and a user program into a few kilobytes of memory, creating a system that could run any of the programs in the above Dartmouth BASIC manual.
> Your messages are only as secure as the least secure part of the network. In an absurd example, that other client could take your messages and publish all conversations straight to Twitter in the public.

Wait, are you talking about malware clients now? Because the original example was a client which does what its user wants to. Nothing can save you if the human at the other end wants to do something evil with the messages you send them, you don't need to use a modified client to share screenshots on Twitter.

I suppose I don't see what the difference is though. Signal has complete control of the app, which means they have full access to all my messages if they want. Where does the "low trust" come in? How is it different from, say, Facebook Messenger, where Facebook also has access to all my messages?

XHTML treated schemas as a first class order of business, though.

It would require people to use extra effort to author a table of "address information" (or whatever). Maybe that would not have happened, but the format also suggested the building of reusable components, browser integrations for semantic understanding, and much more.

The world it alluded to was much brighter for machine understanding and reusability.
JPEG format normally compresses pictures in 8x8 blocks, and these blocks are aligned so the first one starts at top-left corner of the image. I think these leaks you’re talking about are limited to the inside of the 8x8 blocks.

So, if you want to redact a rectangle between pixels [ 12, 4 ] – [ 34, 18 ], redact [ 8, 0 ] – [ 40, 24 ] instead, this way the black rectangle will cover complete blocks.

>> Without some solution like this, it's hard to imagine any non-essential neural implants really taking off: who would ever buy a neural lace from a startup — or even an established company like Google who might just lose interest — if there was no guarentee of patches and maintenance?

Good times.
Good point. The Aussiedler represent some big numbers, are foreign born, but can loosely be considered German.
I've known a lot and while not entirely representative, the criteria were loose: only adoptive father of German ancestry, last person really German and to speak German was mummy's oma, etc. Of course when you're being beat up by the locals in some ex soviet republic because you're not really one of them either, well, you do what you have to do.

I love Apple products and have since childhood, and I have little doubt Jobs’ personality, thinking, and talent, are major factors in what I liked about Apple then and do now. And I detest Musk.

That disclosure out of the way… Jobs was notoriously quick to anger, imperious in his internal role, very selectively rational, and generally… well, often kind of a jerk. I know all of that can overlap with coherence and persuasion, in fact in a cynical sense it could be argued it was part of his persuasive strength.

But… this isn’t the most infamous, nor probably the most convincing, example, it’s just the one that always resurfaces in my own memory: dude chucked a camera at some poor soul whose job it was to hand it to him on stage, because he was frustrated by a technical glitch during a presentation. That’s how not “put together” he could be in one of the more publicly visible tech events of the time: he did violence to a person who was helping him with tons of people watching because of something which wasn’t that person’s fault.

I’m not saying Musk is any better, but I’m also not prepared to pretend that Jobs wasn’t an epic asshole.

If he felt it contained errors should he just leave the paper up and mislead people?

Each trade is bilateral. Futures, both regular and these "perpetual swaps" are zero-sum. A person buying is another person selling and vice versa. The exchange does not need to hedge the underlying because the exchange/clearing house is a neutral party in the transaction as long as the individual traders are solvent. What it is exposed to is traders blowing up and not being to cover their debts.

In case of regular futures, price discovery is aided by the fact that the futures eventually settle to either the underlying or its cash value at a specific point. In perpetual futures, price discovery is aided by "funding fees," which are periodic cash transfers from the side that is contributing to the price discrepancy between the future and the spot to the opposite side. E.g., if perp is below the spot, the short holders will periodically be charged the funding fee, which will go to the long holders, to encourage the shorts to buy/get the price closer to spot, etc.
Oh yeah I totally agree; this would make an excellent school video. The swearing might even make the kids more likely to watch. (Actcually my oldest already watches Freya.) My high schoolers throw yeet at me all the time, and they don’t care about swearing at all. Not only is it ubiquitous on TikTok and YouTube, they have a friend with Tourette’s that would make most gangsters blush. Sadly, the school district still would never allow it, probably most places, and I live in a city with more religious parents than a lot of places… c’est la vie.

The question is just a prompt for the speaker. How the person reacts (dodge the question, address underlying concerns, answer directly, get emotional) can tell you a lot about them. This was 1997, right at Job's return to Apple phase. Job would go on the lead Apple to make the iPod and iPhone. Job's focus on customer experience, defending the quality and dedication of his team, and encouraging 3rd party support says a lot about what he cares about.
> It's not even an energy poor country.

Looking at the tabulated data [0], in 1965 the UK was roughly 200% the European average for per capita energy consumption. Now it is ~75% of the same. It has dropped in absolute terms too (dropped to ~75% of the 1965 figure). In fact, on a per-capita basis the UK is neck-and-neck with China. Nearly, actually it is slightly behind.

It looks a lot like an energy poor country.

> That's not the fault of windmills and solar panels, and it's disingenuous to suggest it is.

I'm not suggesting that. I assume it was decades of policy where people were asking "how do we kill off our cheapest source of energy", consistent with other western states. The UK - like everyone else - should have been focusing on how to secure cheap fossil fuels, how to bring down the cost of nuclear energy and loosening the regulatory state to accept that energy is needed despite NIMBYism. If the market says wind and solar are cheap then build those too, but only if they are cheap enough to make stand-alone economic sense.

Instead I suspect policy attempted to achieve an unachievable level of environmental non-interventionism and look like they are paying the price.

Temporal Deprivation Chamber
Steve Jobs was a tyrant being closed doors and would often cry in meetings. This sounds very similar to Musk.

Musk is undoubtably a genius, you can’t discount the success that Tesla and SpaceX have had. He’s just extremely heavy-handed and capricious. I heard from someone at Tesla that they loathe being in meetings with him because he will literally fire people on the spot. That type of arrogance did play during the era of tesla going to $1 trillion but now that it’s falling back to earth I wonder how much people will tolerate his arrogance and temper tantrums.
This is kind of a weirdly dramatic departure, as this was a union and a product that never made any sense on a napkin or the back of an envelope. Sigh. Hope to see him back on track and doing some cool stuff in the future.

The first attempt at that "knowledge graph" thing was the "keywords" meta tag. Its failure should be taken as instructive regarding the difficulty level of the project as a whole.

> It was marginally harder to author (the mimetype issue was ridiculous), but extending it was low hanging fruit.

Silly me, I thought it was more about mandatory strictness vs user-generated content, rather than what mime-type the server had to label it as.

I wouldn't expect F# to be faster in anything actually, speaking as a .Net developer. OCaml is very well optimized and the abstract machine was well designed to have an efficient execution. Do you have any specific examples where the CLR is better?
Yes, with a step-up converter to 3.3V.

Unfortunately it has no sleep mode (the supported power-down modes erase the main RAM, leaving only 64KiB region, so it's unusable for suspending of the booted-up Linux), so it will last a few hours at most.

This is a common problem with almost all of such boards. And we see great power management is definitely possible: Android phones can suspend to milliwatts for a decade. But there is no support in this hardware, where you can run "normal" Linux, not Android :(

> Even a very high level language like C is a bad idea on something so constrained, because C assumes that everything is a massive approximately VAX-like architecture with mappable memory all over the place, and limitless amounts of it, possibly as much as one or two megabytes.

That's not really true for the AVR family; the instruction set and general architecture was designed with C in mind. Unlike say a PIC microcontroller, the AVR family has a hardware stack pointer (SPH/SPL) and a large number of 8-bit registers which can also be referenced in 16-bit pairs for the (albeit limited) set of instructions which support it.

C makes some assumptions (for instance assuming the existence of a stack pointer), but the AVR designers kept that stuff in mind. Pretty sure AVR C actually uses ILP16 data model, not an 8-bit model as you may be expecting.

C doesn't make assumptions about the size of an address space, although you can when specifying the data model for your architecture.

The only thing that's slightly less than clean programming AVRs using C is that they're Harvard architecture instead of Von Neumann so you have to access program memory via special instructions (lpm/elpm/spm). That's wrapped with a __attribute__((progmem)) specifier in AVR GCC so the compiler knows it uses a different address space.

Many of these cases are things the compiler doesn’t consider inlining even if the author does.

There are two components though. One is the ability to choose the party, the other is the pressure on a party to adjust so that it appeals to enough voters to elect it. If a party doesn't need to adjust to get some votes, as in proportional representation, then we (potentially) end up with coalitions that live or die based on narrow issues, which is what the original post I replied to alluded to. On the other hand, if you have two parties that fight over the votes, you come closer to having parties that optimize for broad appeal.

There are lots of problems with democracy (just fewer than the other potential systems as has famously been said). Imo a two party first past the post system can actually help regularize the will of the people by forcing parties to align with actually electable platforms and not dig in on single issues. Lots more to say about that, I just want to counter the usual rhetoric about how proportional representation or similar systems are somehow automatically better
I think when you compare to the Rpi 4 which has a max of 8gb. It’s alot more.

For me I need to do a little bit of development targeting arm. Having 16gb instead of 8gb is a bonus.
Interesting take. Do you have a set of metrics which where particularly useful? What where they?
Yes, but a weird machine program may be able to turn an extremely unlikely exploit into a guaranteed one; for example rowhammer, or heating up the hardware to induce bit flips, or simply making enough vulnerable objects that when a "cosmic ray" bit flip eventually occurs, it will immediately result in a breakout. Or purely in software, by arranging for hash collisions that would be prohibitively unlikely to occur in a normal execution.

Even if it can't achieve breakout, a weird machine program may still be able to observe its host and leak information to an attacker-controlled server via timing attacks. I think the ExSpectre attack mentioned near the end is related to this.

Crypto exchange Bitvavo says it aims to recoup 280M euros from DCG
Not quite Turing-complete, but any Turing machine that halts on a given input can be simulated by a sufficiently large finite state machine. At each step, a complete TM state can be represented by a tuple of <TM state #, cell position, tape state>. If the TM halts, then it can only have visited a finite number (K) of cells on its tape, plus every possible TM state (N), plus every possible cell position (K), plus every possible state of the tape (2^K). Therefore, we can number each possible state from 1 to N * K * (2^K). Those are the states of our FSM. The FSM transitions are wired up to match the TM transitions to the corresponding TM destination state.

Similarly, any actual computer with finite memory can be modeled as a finite state machine with 2^(# bits of all memory, registers, storage) states.

Edit: Changed "that halts" to "that halts on a given input".
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but I have trouble believing that someone in your position would mistake "above" for "among" and not know the difference between "their" and "there." Surely a company like Meta has higher standards for written English.
In my view, it started with Cambridge Analytica and the knock on effects of targeted political propaganda to stir up intense emotions in people on social media. Then Brexit and the knock on effect from Trumpism in the USA, which we were subjected to in the news everyday. Essentially, the people caused all of this. As more random people in the UK started to get into political thinking for possibly the first time in their lives (from Brexit), they thought they had a clue. But they didn’t, all they were was datapoints to mess around with by experts in their field. Facebook gave data to experts (Cambridge Analytica) who created essentially a tool of war for mass psychological warfare. That’s my 2 pence and I am saying this from a perspective of a person who knew social media was terrible for society as far back as Myspace.

I don’t see why this a problem. Both C and Rust give you 8 bit and 16 bit types to work with. It’s true that you may sometimes need assembly to eke out the last drops of performance on such small chips, but equally sometimes you don’t and C/C++/Rust are excellent tools for the job.
> The ducat lasted ~730 years and preserved a reasonably consistent amount of value all through that time.

Not really. Inflation long predates modern times, there's a reason that the terminology is called "debasement" (adding base metal to gold coins). I don't have hard numbers on the value of the ducat (because that pretty much requires trawling historian journals I don't have access to), but judging from other coins that pop up, the annual inflation rate would have averaged perhaps 0.5% for the Medieval and Early Modern.

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?
