> Sonos holds the patent on it

I’m a huge Sonos fan but I think their patent was “volume control for connected/synced speakers” and apple had a UI to control each speaker volume separately.

I also suspect that apple shared Airplay with them j stead of paying. I know lots of people that bought Sonos instead of the HomePod because it supported airplay.

Edit: nevermind
There was talk about upgrading PNG to support the equivalent of animated GIFs but it never really happened because of complexity, see

As for color spaces that is a case where things get worse before they get better. In the 1990s I remember the horror of making images for the web with Photoshop because inevitably Photoshop would try some kind of color correction that would have been appropriate for print output but it ensured that the colors were wrong every time on the screen.

Today I am seeing my high color gamut screen as a problem rather than a solution because I like making red-cyan anaglyph images and found out that Windows makes (16,176,16) when I asked for (0,180,0) because it wants to save my eyes from the laser pointer green of the monitor by desaturating it to something that looks like sRGB green to my eyes, but looking through 3d glasses it means the right channel blends into the left channel. To get the level of control I need for this application it turns out I need to make both sRGB and high gamut images and display the right one... Which is a product of the complexity of display technology and how it gets exposed to developers.
Doesn't this create a huge incentive for people to buy rolling "temporary" insurance plans which can consider pre-existing conditions, and then switch to subsidizing off the healthy once they actually get a condition and buy the regular ACA plans?
So there’s no external examiner? That’s very surprising to me, but it certainly refutes my claim.

I agree the supervisor should almost never allow a defense to take place that you won’t pass. But I can’t imagine a school passing a candidate if the external gives an unfavorable report.

I’ve also been involved in many PhD defenses, every one of which had an independent external examiner. Computer Science or closely related, not physical sciences.
The terrible situation in Kenya (and all other poor countries) is created by the predatory loans provided by IMF (and the countries that copy those types of loans).

It's unproductive to talk about the hundreds of billions of dollars of slavery work that companies do until we have an answer for the trillions of dollars of toxic debt created by these huge organizations.
You have it backwards; OpenAI was the one that made the request. OpenAI claimed that the Kenyan company misunderstood the request. Your parent comment is claiming that OpenAI is criminally liable for making the request.
It’s extremely hard to get a decent mechanical watch without the ‘date complication’ - which I thought was odd as it’s a pain to adjust it nearly every month, so much so that you can’t be sure the current display is even correct.

OpenBSD: Game of Trees 0.80 Released
There's an interesting update here which wasn't covered in the Fedora thread or this article:

Very new Intel & AMD hardware supports a feature called shadow stacks ("shstk"). This is a copy of the true stack stored separately by the CPU (for security reasons - to avoid stack smashing). These processors also allow you to read out the shadow stack and you can use that to construct an accurate stack trace w/o frame pointers.

(There are good reasons why this shouldn't affect the Fedora decision short-term. It requires hardware which is very new, and I believe support is not quite there in perf. Also on some hardware the number of frames in the shadow stack is limited, apparently even more recent hardware lifts this restriction?)
As both a Stadia, and Steam Link+Controller user for years I can say this was/is not my experience. I'm able to play Steam link games (over my wired local network) without noticeable input lag, and Stadia (despite my crap Comcast connection) also ran decently. I also experimented with the Xbox streaming service and while usable at home, it was not usable on my LTE mobile connection.

Stadia was just too early, and was up against giants like Sony, MS and Nintendo not to mention gaming brands like NVIDIA. Heck even Amazon is playing in this arena and I can't imagine Apple is far behind if they see it working elsewhere.
Regretfully, the Internet has long since been weaponized as a place of discord and hatred and disinformation, especially by parties that want to profit off the war on women, the war on children, the war on science, the war on actual truth and real facts, and the war between radical conservatives and ... everyone else?

It's really hard for good basic information on how to take care of yourself and your loved ones to survive in that kind of environment.

Unfortunately in the world we live in today, "truthiness" wins over real truth. "Alternative facts" win over real facts.

And real honest and open discussion of these issues is also dead, thanks to partisanship, Puritanism, and extreme nationalism. Not to mention profiteering.
it's not the first time, either. Recall the "weeping native" ad campaign [1].

For people who like to mess around with live cds, https://ventoy.net/ let's you create a bootable USB stick where you can simply copy .iso files to, and it will let you boot from that iso.

That way you don't have to keep reformatting / preparing the usb drive.
And I was only talking about the unemployment benefits of laid off big-tech workers. I'm not contradicting you about the rest.
> If someone is entering into an agreement willingly, that’s pretty good evidence at least (if not proof) that they expect or perceive it to be a mutually beneficial transaction.

Respectfully, the existance, and the need, for minimum wage puts lie to this assumption. People need money to survive, and will take whatever job they can when they don't have one, even if it not for enough pay.

I'm not claiming this is the case here, but that this argument is badly flawed.
Isn't the term "epigenetic" about non-DNA information, like in mitochondria etc, i.e. not something recoverable by just scanning DNA more precisely? If so, it doesn't seem reversable?

With the higher salary in the US, especially as a software engineer, you could easily put a little bit aside to pay for a healthcare exchange plan for a while if you do ever lose your job.
Mostly just a joke at C's expense. When reviewing C code, any time the sign-bit gets touched I consider the danger zone to have been entered (especially in the context of parsing data). Limiting the range of ints is a good defensive programming tactic.

As another commenter points out, the real reason is about practicality - some languages like Java don't natively support unsigned ints.
The job pays too little based on the fact that it can leave the "employees" traumatized and scarred for life.

But it does not take away from the fact that it can negatively affect the employees in an adverse way long term, and takes advantage of poor people to give them an objectively bad deal based on an information asymmetry where the person in question might not know that they have to read graphic descriptions of bestiality and pedophilia.
Nominative determinism strikes again, weaving together different prompts and models.

Moving the solar system would take millions of years, but that is a useful timeframe if you are dodging random threats.

For specific threats, you need to put your valuables in cans and boost those to someplace safer, choosing somewhere with resources to replace what you leave behind.

For that to be doable you probably need to solve p-11B fusion, or something better we don't know anything about yet.
And they won't be wrong.

> ChatGPT isn't trying to "alter society" by being prudish, it's trying to avoid embarrassing the company (especially given all the "ethical AI" marketing spiel.

Thank you, you get it. They're not making ChatGPT out of some pure love for AI. It's a product to be sold to billion and trillion dollar companies that don't want a tool on their site to get in to certain topics. That's it. It's not some grand conspiracy.

Donelan confirms stiffer online safety measures after backbench pressure
The key to all of this is user awareness, and I'm not sure users care very much. I own a small payment processor, and we've researched this quite a bit: users only really care about if the little clock is present in the URL bar, and they leave if they get warning dialogs. All the other stuff, badges, changing the awesome bar color, have very little effect on users. Users are about 80% sensitive to interruptions that say "not secure" or something else scary.

There are a couple things about certs that are very much arbitrary: expiration date and any user input identification data. CAs try to deal with the identification data by doing some kind of validation, but that has decayed to what amounts to prove you control the domain by doing some trivial thing. Expiration dates, as currently set, serve to ensure that people have to renew their certificates, and prior to Let's Encrypt, this guaranteed recurring revenue for CAs. Expiration dates make sense to ensure that at some point, a compromised certificate would have to be replaced, but the way those dates are set is... very convenient for ARR.
Where do you get your information about the Osprey, because it is woefully incorrect. Part of the engineering challenge of the Osprey was specifically to overcome loss of engine. There is linkage connecting both props to either engine so if one engine were to fail, both props would still turn. It's one of the talking points about the damn plane. I'd be quite ashamed for posting such non-sense if I were you.
That's sounds like the PSU spec. They could have clocked it significantly higher than laptop for perf but I expect it to be in the M1 Mac mini range power consumption wise.
Those are low-emissivity coatings. Very effective in reducing radiative heat transfer. This is why the glass in a vacuum flask is silvered: metals have low emissivity. These coatings aim to have low IR emissivity while still allowing visible light through (IR light gets reflected, instead of absorbed/emitted).

My point was only that a vacuum gap is still not a perfect insulator, so it's an economic trade-off.

1 They have to. It’s a “material event” that could impact the stock price, so they have to communicate to investors, once a decision has been taken.

2 They probably want to. It creates clarity for employees after what other commenters here described as months-long rumours. The damage to morale would be greater if they do it in pieces.

2b It is also a better story for investors.

Entirely serious question: is COBRA actually of any use to anyone? From where I sit it's always been pretty aspirational since it requires you to also pay the employer side of the insurance which is colossally more expensive than the employee side, and you are expected to do this while being out of work?
it's common in the US to use US-dollars (and the magnitude expectations around) them when you want to imply somebody is making a tiny salary in another country with a completely different economy.

How much does rice cost? Beans? Other subsistence food? If it's all cheaper than the US, then not pointing that out (or showing how a wage compares to the average for a country), it's misleading journalism.
HP did this back in the 80s also, we were working 9 of 10 days to avoid layoffs
Are there reasons to interpret `setjmp` and `longjmp` as anything other than a `C` (/hardware) representation of Effects? (In the sense of exceptions, coroutines/await, etc.)

If so, then why aren't they fundamentally quite reasonable?
I’ve heard this is due to differences in local laws. In the US rumors say it will all happen today. In other countries it may differ. I’ve heard this but can’t confirm if it’s true.
Just because a group of people is accustomed to poor working conditions doesn't make it any more right or ethical.

You could apply your logic to sweatshop scenarios where the people in those countries are just happy to have work, even if the work pays unfair wages, requires unreasonable hours, uses child labor, and provides no benefits to the workers. But hey... the disenfranchised are just happy to have a paycheck right?
Are you saying you would pay a service to host it all for you? or are you saying you want to just send all they physical documents to someone to scan and upload for you?
Wouldn't change at all for me.

If quality developers could be hired for $2 per hour, that would be fantastic. Imagine how much progress we could make. The first thing I would do is hire a bunch of people to fix the bugs in my favorite open source software.

In the short term it might make my life harder as I would probably lose my high paying development job. But that's absolutely not a good reason to oppose progress.

Interesting that the memo claims that sans serif fonts are preferred to serif fonts for screen reader users and people with disabilities. I thought the exact opposite was true. Is there any definitive research on which type of font is more accessible?
This is an interesting juxtaposition. I am deliberately intensely optimistic - I also happen to have a sadism paraphilia. I've had the intuition these mindsets are related, but this is the first time I've seen a mechanism.

A sufficiently intense optimism might say "I don't care that giving up social media gives you withdrawel pains, you're doing it!". A sadistic attitude towards myself (or whoever's masochistic enough to ask my advice) might help cut through the kind of pity that would prevent pushing a painful but healthy change.
Could someone clarify what the relationship between passkeys and WebAuthn is? Is it that Passkey is the Apple, Google, Microsoft implementation (commercialization?) of WebAuthn? If so, does it add anything on top of WebAuthn that makes it differ in some fundamental way? Also, are passkeys how WebAuthn is most commonly actually used in practice? Apologies for the noob questions.
I am not sure I understand the question, but, for instance, Lem is an emacs-inspired CL editor. Not structural or even hierarchical though.
Not one bit of info in the GP's post is correct. It's like it was intentionally posted. If it wasn't such an old account, I'd suspect some sort of chatbot was behind it.
I wonder what is causing the massive python regression? Does the interpreter uses rbp for its own purposes and needs to fall back to a slower implementation when frame pointers are enabled?
> And yet it works remarkably well.

by which measure are you making this claim? even a 95% reliability means you get 5% wrong. on top of that you have prompt injection attacks. this stuff is much less suitable the more you move away from demos to predictable business applications
> Availability and resilience to failure are key pillars to security that are often overlooked.

In my experience, it cannot be overstated how true this statement is.
I'm all for fixing systemic problems, taming the dragons, etc.

Collectively, that's great. I'd argue that western civilization has never been kindler, gentler, inclusive and diverse than it is at this moment in history. So we've made great strides.

However all of this does very little for the average individual unhappy in their unique situational challenges.

If you're unhappy with the hand you're dealt, and keep shifting the blame to society, you will probably remain unhappy for a long time.

If, on the other hand, you decide to change things in or about yourself, you will find that you have significantly more agency over the situation.

A wise person once told me that whenever you have stress in your life it's because your expectations don't match reality.

I learned that sometimes what had to change was I had to "learn to accept reality", as reality was something that couldn't be changed. As Bruce Lee said, the reed that bends in a storm survives it and grows, while bamboo, being rigid, will snap and break.

There's no panacea to the problem of being happy and content in our short lives. But there are things you can do to improve your odds of enjoying it more while you're here.

In the meantime, we should continue to fix systemic problems, injustices, etc.
The technology itself was good, but I think Google underestimated the investment needed to go from zero to having an internal first party studio pumping out titles to attract casual gamers.

They probably asked themselves "are we that serious about gaming?" and the answer was no, so they shut it down.
web.archive.org is down for me, the archive.ph, archive.is etc. are all showing 502 errors…
Look for "Nash equilibrium". Game theory makes it really hard for all companies in a free market to conspire to keep wages down. Can they conspire to a small degree? Certainly, probably disguised as a cultural or traditional bias.

Employers don't pay $5 per hour because they wouldn't make a profit either.
Hey, thanks, I have recognized your nick, nyxt is a cool project : )
I use this technique to build a personal dashboard. Rather than try to scrape data, then come up with a nice presentation for it, I just find a nice representation on the web for the data I want on the dashboard, then use Puppeteer[1] to automatically screenshot the specific DOM element that contains the thing I want. Works like a champ.

> age appropriate leadership roles

This fallacy is so common, but so obviously illogical. By definition, "leadership" roles require a larger number of "followers". Corporate structures are inevitably pyramid shaped, with a tiny number of executives at the top and then more middle managers below and still more ICs at the base.

But unless you're in a country with exponential population growth happening, that structure clearly doesn't represent the populace. There are going to be way more older workers than there are spots at the top of the pyramid.

As a society, we really need to embrace reality and stop pretending like the 5% of people in the upper ranks succeeded and the other 95% of people failed, if they don't rise to the top and then stay there for the rest of their career.

what's insulting is that you assume one kenyan speaks for all of them. even worse, that the random kenyan not being paid $2/hr by openai is qualified to speak on their behalf. on what basis do you accept the first statement. if another kenyan claims the opposite would be then become some vacillating organism between two (or more) positions?
This article might help: "Energy Is Not Conserved" by Sean Carroll [1]. Here are a couple of paragraphs to give you the gist of it.

> But many people have just this reaction. It’s clear that cosmologists have not done a very good job of spreading the word about something that’s been well-understood since at least the 1920’s: energy is not conserved in general relativity. (With caveats to be explained below.)

> The point is pretty simple: back when you thought energy was conserved, there was a reason why you thought that, namely time-translation invariance. A fancy way of saying “the background on which particles and forces evolve, as well as the dynamical rules governing their motions, are fixed, not changing with time.” But in general relativity that’s simply no longer true. Einstein tells us that space and time are dynamical, and in particular that they can evolve with time. When the space through which particles move is changing, the total energy of those particles is not conserved.

Satya is appointed by shareholders, not by employees. Employees can't fire Satya.

And while employees might give him a hard time for this, shareholders can definitely give him a harder time if they see a (potential) decline in dividend. So cutting cost to keep dividends steady with a decline in profitability and revenue is the easiest fight for him.

While it sucks, when working for a large tech company which is publicly traded like Microsoft antics like this should be no surprise to anyone.
The HomePod is the worst Apple product I’ve ever owned, especially for what it’s supposed to do. I need to restart it every few days to even be able to connect to it and playing music with Siri stopped working a few months ago. It also mixes up HomeKit devices that don’t sound similar at all.
Strangely it’s working for me today, but not yesterday when I was cooking and couldn’t touch my phone with wet hands.

I wonder if background noise has something to do with it. The fact that Siri accurately displayed what I was trying to say made me think it understood me perfectly, but it’s possible it will do something else in the background if it’s not confident it hears you correctly.

Either way, I have issues with Siri all the time.

A bit finicky, but does what is says on the tin ;-)
I wonder where EU tech workers (big or not) fit in this. Certainly pay is less than US, but when I worked in Europe, everyone took all of their vacation time and generally did not work beyond regular business hours. Where I work today in the US, even junior devs (i.e. no on-call or general need to fight fires outside of regular hours) are grinding away on nights and weekends. The only way I can basically take a half-day here and there during the week to ski is because my team would be screwed without me, but it's still a pressure cooker compared to my last job in Europe; "I'm going to be bikepacking in Sweden all of August and won't be reachable" -> guess which OOO notice that job came from? xD
