>”Mars Inc., when reached for comment on whether or not they feared Binance’s statement might lead to contagion & collapse of their own enterprise, stated “No, we make things.” When pressed further and informed that similar comments from Binance’s CZ helped precipitate the collapse of FTX— once valued around $32B, close to Mars Inc’s $37B annual revenue— the spokesperson for Mars simply repeated “We make things.” But then after a pause added “And they’re delicious.” These comments have so far baffled crypto insiders who sought clarification after such a brief statement, but Mars Inc has yet to respond.”
That's actually sort of false! WSL was originally designed for Android, to enable Android apps on Windows Mobile phones. (I have a Lumia which has a test build of this from back in the day.)

I'm unsure when the branding decision was made, but the possibility of again involving Android support was probably considered.
Friend, your English is so poor I don’t understand what you’re saying: who are you referring to when you say “his story” besides Musk.

Pointing out that Musk has had his greatest successes working at other peoples companies (with the exception of SpaceX, which I’ll grant you) doesn’t make anyone an “LARPing insecure hater”.

That machine has so many chip failures I'd start to wonder if the power supply is suspect. I think he replaced over 3/4 of the chips on the board by the end, plus several discrete components.

Or maybe it was put away after a lightning strike?
> It already is considered attempted murder by some localities

Is there a link to this? The government decided that calling another branch of the government for help is so dangerous it is an attempt to murder?
On every crossing? It might not be hard but it surely would be expensive. I'd guess that there are tens of thousands of these buttons around Greater Sydney, possibly even in to the hundreds of.

Also Sydney's crossing buttons are notably reliable. They last for decades and have been adopted across many other Australian cities and, IIRC, overseas somewhere.
And the Xbox Series S!
This is very true. The tower of template and OO class hierarchies typical in c++ codebases make the memory layout impossible. Polymorphism and vtables are so killer for performance. I think general programming can learn a lot of lessons from HPC and game engines.
That is not possible, no.
If I were going to design a system to do this, I would consider using AWS EventBridge to drive a lambda directly or enqueue a job to an SQS queue that a lambda is subscribed to.
Was it best just wrapped up as a nice, concise package? As an example, Ex Machina was great, but I don't need to see Ex Machina II: The Adventures of Ava.

Or if there's value in Westworld (the other themeparks, James Delos storyline, etc), tell a fresh story in that world. Dragging out Maeve and her daughter was tiresome.

It ended up with zero tension, despite all the grand standing. I just didn't care who was about to fight who and even less who might win. The ideas were convoluted and pointless. S2-3 had some decent ideas/plans mixed in. S4 had almost nothing I think would be worth keeping.
The trick is that's hard to know the hopeless situation. Many people get away with cancer so are you ready to deny yourself one more chance to live?

How so? Remote attestation and other SafetyNet features are a product decision to use. If a company has an app that only allows itself to be run on a device with SafetyNet isn't that on them? Google doesn't force you to use it.

I guess my advice / observation is that meritocracy is alive and well in this industry, and if you put in the time and effort to become an effective dev then the jobs will find you.

>There was the potential for thieves to find out the layout of someone’s home and when it was unoccupied. Add cameras to that and you have a disaster waiting to happen.

This feels like pearl clutching for no reason.

It's not hard to find out the layout of a house. In a given neighborhood there are probably dozens of houses for sale, which would have their floor plans publicly available as part of their listing. At the same time, there is a high chance that multiple homes in a given neighborhood share a floor plan. Therefore the layout of any given house isn't exactly some sort of a secret.

As for figuring out whether a house is occupied, there are far easier ways. Any internet connected laptop/phone has built-in cameras and microphones, which also allow you do determine occupancy.

Of course, none of this matters. The typical robber isn't going to do some ocean's 11 heist shit where they're scoping out your house's layout in advance and hacking into megacorp's servers so they can learn your daily routine. They're far more likely to make an educated guess based on whether your car is parked and whether the lights are on. If they're really prepared they'll maybe drive through your neighborhood several times a day to get a better sense of occupancy.
Sounds like you've already got it right there: implemented well a decentralized blockchain is basically a 3rd party as a transactional service (which through programmability can act as a ledger or escrow).

The commenter up above is directly referencing where existing 3rd party / escrow services are pretty terrible today and they're certainly not easily accessible to the general public or your average piece of computer code.

A lot of the pre-boom blockchain contract excitement really was as simple as "turn the awful banking middlemen into code so we can get the advantages of them programmatically."
Stanford's Elimination of Harmful Language (In IT) Initiative [pdf]
A lot of the additional data movement is a.) defensive copies because too many data structures are mutable and b.) change of data format to internal software representations, e.g. wire->decode->IR1->...->IR1->encode->wire.
It did work, the doctor said he would have had a similar outcome from surgery. You van definitely feel where it fused, there is a bump there. I think because it was specifically the collarbone, they were able to set it with the surrounding musculature by just moving the arm and shoulder into place until it all lined up again.

I was a pretty model patient though, I was terrified of moving the arm and so it likely did sit where it needed to the whole time. I imagine others may struggle with such a direction.

Surely if the caller is getting charged with attempt to murder, then the SWAT doing the swatting should be charged with the same crime?

How can the caller be more culpable than the one actually commiting the crime? This literally never happens in the history of crime.
Also, what is actually loaded for the fault-suppressed portion?

According to some documentation[0], anything after the first element uses the `MemNF` "intrinsic":

if first then
// Mem[] will not return if a fault is detected for the first active element
data = Mem[addr, mbytes, AccType_NORMAL];
first = FALSE;
else
// MemNF[] will return fault=TRUE if access is not performed for any reason
(data, fault) = MemNF[addr, mbytes, AccType_CNOTFIRST];

However, if the data would fault, said "intrinsic"[1] returns `UNKNOWN` for the data:

(value<7:0>, bad) = MemSingleNF[address, 1, acctype, aligned];
if bad then
return (bits(8*size) UNKNOWN, TRUE);

But clearly, the value of `UNKNOWN` is visible to the program, so what is it? I'd assume it would either be zeros or whatever the previous scalar was (i.e. untouched), but does anyone know?

Solar is pretty ubiquitous already in a lot of places… Around here (Australia), more than 1/3rd of homes have solar and plenty of commercial premises.

The efficiency doesn’t matter much, it’s just the cost. Most people don’t pack as much solar on their roof as they can possibly fit on anyway, so higher efficiency would just mean less of the roof is taken up.
I'm into meditation and similar mystic weirdness.

I've seen what appears to be a literal "city of the dead".

No doubt a metaphor. But metaphor appears to be a big part of "reality".

I've also seen what appears to be a "creator of reality".

So ya, it's a weird world.
I do a lot of serverless development and agree with you on this. This is a very simple and cost effective problem for lambda and EventBridge.
So in summary you don't have evidence, but just make it up. Again the article argues (with evidence), that a fission plant would be more expensive than current wind/solar even if the reactor would be free. Do you have evidence to the contrary, hand-waving about future small reactors having the potential to be cheaper (also you argued it's regulation which is the driver of cost, how can then multiple small reactors be cheaper? Would they not be subject to the same regulations?

> I think the example of France shows that we could have had green energy for the last 40 years, and that Frances big mistake was to go away from nuclear (they actually started depending on gas). France was one of the few shining lights, and built amazing projects like Superphénix (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superph%C3%A9nix) but instead of building more, they were killed politically.

The reason they moved away from nuclear was economical not political. France is probably the most pro-nuclear nation in the west all major parties are strongly pro nuclear, even the french greens are ambivalent. The argument does not make sense.
> tried to destroy Windows Phone by repeatedly killing the YouTube app that MS made

Fair or not, this was actually quite a blow to Windows Phone.

Google blocked Microsoft's app (because it lacked ads) and insisted on collaborating only if the app was remade in HTML5, which MS refused to do. So they kept playing cat and mouse, releasing updates to evade the block and blocking them again, until MS gave up and replaced the app in an update by just a shortcut to youtube.com.

Ironically, most people seemed to switch to a third party app (I don't remember the name) that supported even more features against YouTube's ToS than Microsoft's, including no ads. I remember it being quite polished as well.
There’s no button. They put the cover with the label over the top of the existing button.
On the other hand, there are 150-year-old tortoises and 200-year-old whales out there. So it's not like there is some finite impossibility to living a long time, other animals have figured it out.

Well they're not saying anything incorrect there. The concept of gender identity was only invented to try to provide some cover explanation as to why some people want to be the opposite sex.

It's a way of legitimizing the whole thing, so e.g. rather than men saying "I want to be a woman", they can lean on this idea of gender identity and say "I am a woman", where "woman" has been redefined as "anyone with a female gender identity". And per the definition of gender identity, a man can be said to have a "female gender identity" if he wants to be a woman. Naturally, this redefinition has turned out to be quite controversial.

I agree the scorn seems earned, but for a bit of a different reason.

Based on the article it sounds like these bodies are being "preserved" in an absolutely destroyed state. They've kept the outside pretty, but they've pulverized their insides during the freezing process. Even if cryogenics works one day, the chance that these people can be revived seems extremely remote. The chance that the "store the body and not just the head" idea helps seems even more remote given that the organs, blood veseels, etc are destroyed.

They didn't discuss it (presumably verifiable information is hard to come by), but if the rest of the body is that destroyed, it seems unlikely that the brain is doing much better..

The nonsense about how the flavour gets more complex over time is just that: nonsense.

There's a video on YouTube where a hobby scientist takes a cup of water and doses it with an incredibly potent poison, a tiny fraction of which could kill. He then discards half the water, dilutes it, and repeats the process about 6 times. Finally he drinks the water and is totally unharmed.

The point is that after the pot's been half-emptied a few times, nothing remains of the previous mixtures.

Why are we giving advantage to the form of transport requiring external power again? So we can have even more wasteful urban design incentives? Maybe we should pay people to use gas lol.

The idea that the "SF Bay Area" has a single way to design light cycle times is ridiculous. Each intersection is governed by a local city department that has its own guidelines around light placement, times, signal priority, signal synchronization, speed tables, etc. There's also added nuance around whether a particular road at the intersection is deemed a collector or an arterial. It's a fascinatingly complex topic but gesturing at the "SF Bay Area" and making a conclusion is senseless. Moreover most Bay Area cities are playing along to some level (some areas more than others) to Vision Zero plans which very much prioritize pedestrians over drivers.
It looks better for doc, information, sports, etc but the realism is a significant detraction for narrative fiction. Sets look worse, acting looks more fake, the story telling downsides are significant and even children raised on 60p notice the inferior suspension of disbelief (not that they'd use the term).

>> The controllers did look interesting and I haven't heard anything really bad about them, they do seem like a big step up from the Q2 controllers. You can pair the QPro controllers with the Q2

Yes, the Touch Pro controllers are absolutely wonderful on both the Pro and the 2. Extremely cool that Meta added support on the 2 and, if not for the issue below, I’d happily recommend them to Quest 2 owners who have the $300 to blow.

Unfortunately, the Quest 2’s controllers are probably the worst in the industry for developing thumbstick drift. Worse than even the Switch.

Given that sort of unfortunate pedigree and the premium price of the Touch Pros, it’s baffling to see that they skimped on Hall effect sensors for the thumbsticks. It’s extremely hard to recommend spending hundreds of dollars on controllers that may very well need to be RMA’ed in a few months.
Why does the claim that a police presence is needed somewhere result in the death of innocent people? Why are the police prepared for war when visiting someone's residence? What situation, time and time again, can possibly justify this kind of repeated response?

Put in another, more unpleasant way, how many innocent deaths are worth one police officer death, because law enforcement justifies this due to (truly existent, but I think extremely overstated) danger inherent in the job.

But I think any rational mind can perceive it's way too far skewed in one direction.
Isn't the WSA a layer between Windows and Android to map Android calls to the corresponding Windows calls?
They have a nice table on that page: https://github.com/facebook/zstd#benchmarks

Looking at that table, I think LZ4 is a winner. The compression ratio is not too far, compression speed is slightly faster, decompression speed is significantly faster, the code is much simpler so the compiled binary is smaller, and the project is unrelated to Facebook.
As far as I can tell from this report, no-one was shot at, so maybe the correction is already being made. On the other hand, I would not mind those who still find swatting appealing to be presented with plenty of time to develop some form of maturity before they are in a position to repeat. It's not like these are contradictory goals.

unfortunate that the author didn't bother to distinguish between the effects of state-of-the-art cryopreservation by vitrification and the older cryopreservation procedures that produced the massive fracture damages they mention

an awful lot of the article seems to be about how weird it is for people to study things carefully and try to do things that are not known to be possible, with the implicit subtext that being weird is bad

abandoning that ideology is how we got the industrial revolution and modern civilization, but unfortunately its adherents didn't die out completely, and will likely bring an end to that epoch
I've been subscribed to IntelliJ close to 8 years now.

The one reason why I tolerate IntelliJ's subscription/pricing model is that unlike Adobe, they actually do deliver constant and worthwhile updates. Their software also rarely crashes, and their universal workflow (across different languages, themes, key bindings, plugins) also works as promised.

If not for the above the subscription would be a very hard sell for me.
so do you really prefer society putting effort in very complex labour that is unknown than making people aware of how important is a good diet and exercising often?

One of the best entrepreneurial decisions to make in early start ups is to take control of your customers. This is regardless of the business, if someone is selling their products on Etsy or Amazon, part of the money goes to the company Etsy or Amazon.

While, on the other hand the business could sell their products on their website and therefore get 100% of the money on their website. Many companies sell on their website for this reason.
