There's one big piece missing: we don't have an animation/gaming interface that's as easy and intuitive as Flash.

Flash didn't become ubiquitous because it was powerful, but because it was easy for any 13 year old to pick up and do something nice in a couple of days without reading any documentation or doing any course. Good luck getting anything to work in WebGL without any web programming experience.

What actually happened is Ukraine retook Bucha and then when Ukraine saw what Russians did k Bucha they decided negotiations were over.

I don’t blame them either why would you negotiate with the army that’s raping and torturing your civilians?.

There’s no point to negotiation with Russia anyway they don’t abide by international agreements unless it benefits them and even they may break them later.

Any peace outside of an absolute Russian defeat would be temporary and just allow Russia to invade again later.

I've received an old iPad to play around with running iOS 9. Safari is essentially crippled by a lack of software updates but old versions of the apps can still be installed.

Because of Apple's great software design, you need an old version of iTunes. From there, you can add apps to your account. Then, on the iPad, you can install "purchased" apps. The store itself is completely useless as nothing will install, but the "purchased" page will let you download the last version that works on the device.

All I am saying is that it's a vast oversimplification of an economic and political system composed of over 1 billion people to simply say "it's capitalist". The overarching point here is that as China rises hopefully we in the US can learn something from their system and integrate it into ours. The idea that we can't do so because "they are a capitalist country and so are we" is reductionist and I was trying to point out ways in which that was the case.
Because Pfizer is a bigger target?

Kind of like 3 Felonies a Day, lots of times the laws/regulations are so labyrinthine that if they look at you closely, they will find something.
Yes, this is trying to impose our ways on others. The thing is that, as we see again and again, it does not work, anyway. Cultural and societal values cannot be imposed by 'foreigners', if anything this only creates a reaction against it and to more conservatism.
> How are the laws and regs so unclear that a huge corporation of smart people can't avoid big fines

Perhaps they don't really care to? Apparently paying penalties is just a part of the business model, net profits/savings made thanks to the violations still exceeding net fines.

I'm not sure about Pfizer but I feel almost sure this is the way Google and other big tech corporations providing "free" services work paying huge fines for privacy violations every now and then. Google will still spies on you and records everything it can about you no matter how much do you tweak your settings and how hard does the EU try to protect your privacy rights, doesn't it?

The paper recommends against baking pizza on steel because this would cook the pizza too fast, but this is only true at the temperatures of pizza-specific ovens (paper says 620F / 325C). If you're trying to cook a pizza at home in an oven that only goes up to 550F / 290C the steel helps a lot to make up for the oven not being quite hot enough.

(I use a pizza stone, though, mostly because that's what I already have)

- Start with hardening SSH (Client first, then the server) to ensure you do not lock yourself out by selecting ciphers the daemon does not support. [1] This will actually speed up ssh client-server negotiation. Assuming you have a recent version of OpenSSH this will drop the older bots.

- Ensure you have SSH key trusts and then disable password authentication and don't bother blocking anyone. It's just noise and the C&C nodes will just use a different node to reach you.

- If the noise is distracting, move the sshd listener to a high port. This is not security and will not stop a targeted attack, this is just to stop the noise. 99.999% of the bots will just go away. [2] Ensure the port you select is opened on the firewall first.

- Optionally, add CIDR/IP restrictions to your SSH keys if you are concerned that you might leak your private keys somehow. This is done on the server side in the authorized keys file(s) depending on how you configured key trusts. Maybe leave one low-permission account unrestricted in the event you want to access from a cell phone.

grep -i authorized /etc/ssh/sshd_config
AuthorizedKeysFile /etc/ssh/keys/%u

cat /etc/ssh/keys/bender
from="172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16" ssh-rsa AAAA[snip]... comment

- Very optionally, only permit connections to ssh that have valid MSS. This drops massscan, the most prevalent scanner used by bots. If your clients use jumbo-frames then you may need different values such as 1280:9200. Most home connections will be 1460 and some mobile ipv6ipv4 gateways are 1280 or 1380. Adjust as you see fit after using tcpdump to see valid values vs. bot values.

# see what is valid and invalid by capturing syn packets to 22
tcpdump -p -i any -NNnnt -c512 port 22 and 'tcp[13] == 2'

# limit ssh to a desired mss range.
-A INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 --syn -m tcpmss --mss 1280:1460 -j ACCEPT

Just a few days ago I needed to edit a CSV file from a codebase I was working on. Opened it up in Numbers, changed a couple of cells, saved it. Later I realized none of my changes were in the CSV file. Turns out Apple saved it as some kind of other proprietary file. From now on I'll just open my files in VSCode, because that's easier than worrying about getting sucked into the Apple ecosystem.
Nah. Regulators have performance metrics same as everyone.

Funny how Europeans and others aren't constantly "hydrating" (in fact, they tell me they think Americans are silly for carrying water bottles around), yet they never suffer any effects of dehydration. (Most European meals are served with only single-digit ounces of liquid.) You really don't need to drink very much, and in fact drinking large quantities can produce some bad effects by demineralizing the body (magnesium in particular, but many others too), especially over the long term...

It's basically about whether a prayer is effective to prevent bleeding in surgery. Not kidding.

Here's the relevant part:

The Secret has been used for several centuries in Switzerland, particularly in the French speaking part, to staunch blood during and after a procedure. It consists of a healing 'formula' or prayer that is intended to mobilize superior forces to help cure the patient. The "formula," which can be deployed on site or remotely by an initiated "Secret Maker," is a widely practiced and reputed complementary medicine in Switzerland, so much so that it is used in hospitals.
“There has also been a wide variety of accuracy-degrading performance optimizations like Xformers and Flash Attention, which are great tools if you are open to trading accuracy for performance”

This is incorrect. Those optimizations do identical computations, but leverage memory bandwidth on the gpu more effectively. So there is no accuracy tradeoff there.

actual sustainable peace requires denuclearization (and possible fragmentation) of the Russian federation because a precedent has to be set for the international order that threat of weapons of mass destruction cannot be used for annexation. Right now, by arming Ukraine, NATO is stripping Russia of conventional forces that keep the nucleae weapons safe and the federation together. Hopefully the emdgame will be achieved politically vs by first strike.

Informative thread, so thanks for that. This seems to be the key issue:

>Ethnicity, race and culture is not enough for the new states to work out. For them to succeed they must be able to pay their bills. Ergo, the principle of economic clusters will be at least as important for defining their borders as the ethnic or cultural one

Which one wins out? The fact that there is a conflict between economic cluster and ethnic cluster seems to strongly raise the likelihood of a civil war.

Why would a non corrupt judge allow this “transfer of liabilities”?

> In June 2021, one such lawsuit resulted in an appeals court in Missouri ordering the company to pay $2.1 billion to the claimants. Later that year, the company used a divisive merger to create a new subsidiary called LTL Management LLC, transferring its talcum-related liabilities to that subsidiary along with a $2 billion trust intended to provide funding for any potential future claims against LTL.

I think you’re getting downvotes for the phrasing, but this is an insightful point:

We have signal; which only becomes information when you successfully decode it.

Which raises questions: eg, would we be better off sampling less and analyzing more — to extract a better portion of information from the already captured signal?

But the confusion itself also points to a lack of wisdom — lots to think about.

>What most people usually mean by "complex" software is that its Kolmogorov complexity

I disagree. What most people usually mean by "complex" in any context is some fuzzy not-really-defined thing they aren't really sure about. You're bonkers if you think most people's minds refer to a soft intuition for descriptive complexity when they say the expression "complex", even if the context is software

Having said that, I do agree with your original reply since you were thinking of that specific type of complexity

Which is an unfortunate state of affairs. But I believe he is right. Given this schism, he sees the way to proceed forward is likely by creating a separation. Similar to what we already have today with the separation of religious universities from secular universities. We likely will need to have social-justice universities. Religious universities continue with their core values of God, faith, and devotion. Social justice universities can operate under their own diversity, equity, and inclusion values. And secular universities and return to their values that we all used to think were good and noble until yesterday, which are equality, fairness, and meritocracy.

A discussion between Niall Ferguson and Lex Fridman [1] captures the first signs of this new separation. The discuss the introduction of a new university coming to Austin.

And even whether or not it's important is hard to say. Whether the experiments being done were important or completely unimportant, we'd get the same thing - hyped up results from NASA talking about how these things were a big deal, vague comments from lander fans about how the landers are doing important scientific work. You're not going to get NASA to come out and say, "actually, we can't think of a good reason to send anything to Mars anymore. Maybe in a couple of decades when our technology improves." Similarly, you're not going to get them to say that the shuttle or SLS were misfires. If you look at the stuff NASA releases, these were all enormous successes.

If I try to look at what the Insight lander accomplished, for instance, I find articles claiming that Insight found that the core of the Mars was much larger than previously thought. Let's leave aside whether the exact size of Mars' core is important or not. If I look for estimates of the size of the core prior to Insight, they're all in line with the estimates that came from the Insight data. From what I can see Insight brought the range of estimates closer together, but it seems to be about what people were expecting beforehand.
Their market cap still makes them one of the largest companies on the planet and their PE ratio is still way higher than would be expected for an almost 30 year old company. Their PE ratio is also still 3-4X higher than other tech giants like MSFT and GOOG. That means it's not so much crashing as starting to approach a more sane valuation.
overbroad roles + permissions is such a problem on every platform. github surprisingly bad given their technical sophistication overall

on my long-term wishlist: a standard way to aspirationally reduce your permissions footprint

like if I'm a twitter plugin, and I need one operation for which there is only a broad permission, I request the broad permission ('read and write everything'), but include an optional manifest making it clear that I only need the one action ('add followers')

this 1) enables a linter ecosystem to verify my footprint is narrower than it seems, and 2) over time lets the platform tailor offer narrower perms based on observed use-cases

permissions matter bc users can audit them more easily than code
When I moved to apple many years ago, I was a big fan of an app that did something very very similar to what Freeform is now doing - now I love the fact that someone’s finally made something that supports this layout of all manner of things in this manner, but sadly I’m not sure that I can drop my use of note style outliner thingies now - FSNotes is now my main note taker, but work and project ideas, they may get sketched out in FreeForm, I’m certainly very happy to see it in my phone, and am hoping my aging MacBook will also support it.
Flash was my 2nd programming language (after VB6) back when it was still Macromedia. I had a lot of fun making really crappy minigames and learning the basics of coding. This article brought some good nostalgia and plenty of astonishment at the lengths you went to.

As accurate as resistor and measurement circuit.

The data acquisition is kinda a bitch if you want to measure accurately over long time, small IoT device can take microamps when idle and tens of even hundred+ mA when transmitting and that's 4-5 orders of magnitude of dynamic range and that's kinda hard to deal with accuracy

https://www.joulescope.com/ handles most of that edgecases but it's a pricy piece of kit if you just want to do some measurements and are not using it to make actual product.

I may be mistaken but AFAIK plugins are not always at feature parity with the full jetbrains IDEs. For example the rust plugin in intellij did not support debugging but the one in CLion did (I think this is fixed now).

The python plugin in intellij was a little inferior to Pycharm for Django (pycharm had deeper support for the django ORM) and so on.
