> I think it's perfectly reasonable for a firewall to be tied to a specific operating system.

Oh, I have no qualms about Little Snitch specifically being tied to macOS. I just find it annoying that this general concept of "a firewall that asks you before blocking a connection" has apparently never been implemented outside of macOS.

I don't want the network request to fail and the application to panic just because I had to be given a prompt with an "allow" button. Suspend the connection instead please.

Windows and Linux firewalls are not yet capable of this, as far as I can tell. If there is one that can, I'd love to replace Windows Firewall with it.

> This is the "no true capitalist" fallacy.

How is it different from the "no true socialist/communist" fallacy that is more common?

> Before claiming such hilarious idealism, maybe take a look at the capitalist US South and the way it was built by 150 years or more of slave labor.

A free market requires free participants. Therefore, the US South was not purely capitalist. Also, slavery was not the only component in building the South. Other continents and countries have/had slavery for longer periods and are poorer.

The US South was an exploitative mix of socialism + capitalism that was defeated by the more capitalist and freer North.

> The reality of capitalism is that big companies get to impose whatever they want on any smaller entity they want.

Which exploitative project by a company has the lifespan and reach of CCP or Soviet Russia's decades long exploitation and rent seeking?

> weak country ... or by co-opting government (either in cahoots with an authoritarian government like the USSR or China, or a democratic government like the USA or Europe).

Thank you, thats my point. They can't survive long unless they are supported by an authoritarian govt or by a weak govt.

It is obvious now that we are arguing in circles with you supporting my point. So I guess we can end the conversation here.
I didn't say they were "good", I'm just pointing out that they generally aren't starving, which means your point was hyperbolic.

I don't understand why the government would need to "take over everything" to avoid starvation. There's no technical reason that capitalism can't exist without usury. Again I'm not saying usury is good or bad, just that it doesn't 'need' to exist. I suspect it is good for society when well regulated (better use of capital), and horrible for society when allowed without limit (indentured servitude, instability e.g. GFC caused by immoral lending).

The question is which world are we living in? I'd argue the West is living in the latter world, the GFC is a symptom that shows that our financial system is causing more harm than good. In this case if the US had used the Islamic system, banks would have owned the assets they were "lending" for, and so would not be incentivized to make risky loans and sell them to unsuspecting investors. A bank isn't going to give a loan on an overvalued property if they know it will sit on their books until the losses are eventually realized.

Again, I suggest you to stay away from statement like that. You have no right or knowledge to make those condescending statements. Moreover, your emotional reaction just show weaknesses of your position.

> Scientists are the ones who've been telling us about climate change for over a century now

Scientists were telling us that "vaccines are safe and effective". Well, statistics shows otherwise.

> In what way? You state this as if it's a fact, but this really depends on what kind of industry changes you're going to impose

The "climate change" agenda asks for huge societal changes in way humans operate vehicles and "emit CO2". This leads not to global impact and redistribution of income across large enterprises mining minerals for batteries, solar panels and sorts.

> But industry changes are normal

Undoubtedly so. Unless changes are non evolutional and incentivised.

> We're talking specifically about climate change caused by the greenhouse effect, caused by putting more CO2 in the atmosphere by burning more fossil fuels.

You cannot pull out "climate change" you like from climate change in general. Our planet is a very complex organism, in which we still have very little knowledge of how things are going on and what depends on what.

The only way to prudently approach the problem is to see available data across many years and try to make conclusions. It will void all fearmongering done by "activists" and "scientists" and politicians of sorts, that's why no-one does that preferring to hide behind scary predictions like "we all will drown in 10 years" which have no supporting whatsoever.

Oil lobby pushing legislation and profiteering from it is nothing new. It does exist - and so does "climate change" lobby.

Now you go ahead and label it as "misinformation" or something like that because it's important to deny logical thinking when someone tries to assess the "climate change". Otherwise inconvenient truth may come out indeed. Easier to do fearmongering.
I disagree, loans can benefit both parties if they are well regulated. In these cases loans provide a lot of value for society. Reckless loans are a symptom of an under regulated system (or in the case of the GFC, a combination of under regulation and no effective enforcement).

Some of my relatives were minimum wage cook/babysitters at a preschool. Without the preschool, a lot of moms would have to stop working to take care of their kids.

Most preschools here provide minimum care and nutrition. They'd beat crying kids until the kids fall asleep. Food would be porridge, with a budget of one whole chicken per month. They end up undernourished with no love. They learn to hate school. They end up underproductive and often dangerous because they loathe everything associated with school - math, science, literature, work. Some end up hating authority.

I pay more for my kids' early education than I paid for my college education, because I want them to know that learning can be fun, even if it's just the first few years. But to get that, I think the teachers themselves need to be paid pretty good rates.

No, it is basically 215K post taxes. Taxes are marginal. 300K couple faces ~28% _effective_ tax rate in California. Even marginal tax rate is far from the 50% you claim - it is ~36%. They will have to be making 2M or higher in order to be paying 50% effective rate.
How could they issue loans? 10 x 10$ deposits means you can loan 100$?
Where as the modern way is more like 100$ in deposits means you can lend out 1000$ because chances are everyone won’t not pay it back? And then can’t you say that since you’ve lent out 1000$ and chances are you’ll get paid back, you’ve basically got 1104.56$ and so can lend out 10k$? And then you bundle those together and sell them to each other depending on what ratio of income to cash you want?

This. As soon as you see "number of vulnerabilities it contains", you know it's bullshit. If it were that easy to spot legitimate bugs, the authors would mostly already have fixed them. Without human verification, probably somewhere between 950 and 995 out of 1000 detections are bogus. Also OWASP has become such a meaningless buzzword, as if it's the only web bugs that matter, or as if it's a well-defined set with clear boundaries, let alone testable things (direct object reference / missing authorisation, good luck defining a rule for that, in general but especially with public APIs). (My employer is getting more corporate and guilty of this as well nowadays: trying to please buzzword-scanning customers by bringing up OWASP Top Ten in every web report no matter how relevant.)

This kind of thinking mosses the point (its not just you, its most threads on here). It is not relevant whether an suv is a fashion item or not. What is relevant is whether gas prices capture the total cost of using gas and if they don't then is there enough tax on gas to cover the externality? If the gas price is right then it is correct for people to make their own choices about what vehicle they drive amd if the gas price is wrong then fix the gas price.
It can't access the internet now. But it was fed a snapshot of the Internet during training. So if you tell it a URL, it can potentially remember what the page looked like, if it happened to see it during training.

ChatGPT by itself can't but if you build a product on top of its API, you can fetch the url itself and send the data in the ChatGPT's prompt
It's a building block allowing more threading abstractions to be build on top of it without using unsafe code.

Most importantly it works with references like `&`,`&mut` or `Cow` etc.

E.g. in the example below it use used to ad-hoc implemet a typical simple parallel fold
pattern where a collection of data points is chunked and split across num_cpu
threads where each chunk is processed in parallel followed by combining the results.

https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

Now in practice for many use cases you want to use more convenient/optimized libraries like rayon for this kinda of things instead of ad-hoc implementing them by hand.

But having the necessary primitives to implement it ad-hoc yourself without unsafe code is grate anyway.

I can't think of any theory of continuing interconnected-ness of a multiverse which doesn't violate some fundamental laws. The idea that 'information' is disconnected from states of being might admit it, but at best thats a view not a fact: as I understand it, information realised in a mind is change in state of matter, so it's hardly 'artifact and energy free' in outccome.

Which to me goes to: "it might, but they don't inter-relate except as representing alternate states which don't interfere"

Much science fiction depends on their interference. John Brunner and Brian Aldiss wrote about it long before Neal Stephenson.

This isn't an over-generalization of the founders intent. It is the founders directly, clearly stated intent. I'm doing literally no extrapolation at all: you can just crack open Federalist 52 or whatever and read away.

People are always made unnecessary. The smart ones then find other ways in which they are. Not sure how this is any different.
I honestly don't care what foreigners think about our fidelity to the ideas of the founders; I'm making a simple positive argument about the clearly stated goal of the founders.
What's a good modern solution to introduce some noise in the texture? (to make the repetition less noticeable)
If we took all of the data that a human takes in from all of their senses, I'm not sure if humans use less data.

Humans take in 10 million bits[1] from their eyes every second. 10,000,000 bits/sec * 60 secs/min * 60 mins/hour * 24 hours/day * 1000 days = 108 terabytes. ChatGPT only used 570 GB of training data, so 2 orders of magnitude less data, and that's only counting the visual data.

edit: And that would be for a 3 year old, so comparing ChatGPT's intelligence to a 3 year old shows that ChatGPT comes out favourably.

Performant code is really a big group of code.

If you look at ML, Python is completely fine because all the processing that happens with matrix multiplication, even on CPUs, far, far, FAR outweighs all the setup stuff in volume of operations.

On the other hand, if majority of your application relies heavily on processing speed (i.e you need compare/jump operations rather just add/multiply/load/store of the GPUs), Python is going to be slow. In this case, if you want custom performant code, you write C extensions for the performant critical code, and launch them from higher level python code.

That being said, there is generally a library (like Taichi) that already does this for you.

People building e-paper devices after calculating their power usage definitely doesn't mean that my calculation is wrong. First, they started doing it 16 years ago, and things have changed since then, in ways that have made e-paper less popular; second, power usage is far from the only consideration in product design.

E-paper has some real advantages over memory-in-pixel LCDs: as I said in the other thread, the whites are whiter, it's not glossy, it can do grayscale, some versions can even do color, it's available in larger panel sizes, it existed in 02007 when Amazon launched the Swindle, and it can continue to display Amazon advertising even when the device is entirely powered off.

None of these are true of memory-in-pixel LCDs (though the Playdate does display advertising on its memory-in-pixel screen when it's "off").

Moreover, the computing power budget for the Swindle and similar e-readers is also measured in hundreds of milliwatts, just like the screen. There's not much reason to worry about whether your screen uses 100 microwatts or 100 milliwatts if your CPU is using 200 milliwatts. Reducing your power consumption by 50% or 5% is never a critical factor in the success or failure of your product, because you could just add another 50% in battery weight if it were.

Ambiq didn't even exist until 02010, and didn't sample the Apollo3 until 02018, so to get even a single order of magnitude improvement in CPU power usage, Amazon (or competing vendors) would have had to cut the compute budget for e-readers by an order of magnitude, probably resulting in major increases in space usage, reductions in rendering quality, sluggish interactions, or all three, and certainly increasing development cost. Ambiq's CPUs are fast enough, but you can't just drop them into a new model of Swindle or Kobo and keep the same software; they have tiny onboard RAM, little support for offboard RAM (which would make power consumption balloon anyway), and no MMUs, so they can't run either Linux or any of the other e-reader software that's been developed for existing devices—it needs way too much memory.
Haven't RTFA, but it is clear neither you nor OP have any idea what stalking is. While it does mean "to approach stealthily," which implies surveilling and following in the context of predator and prey, in the social and criminal sense stalking has a specific meaning which is in the simplest sense to threaten. Any indication in the article that the author had an intent of harassment and intimidation, or threatened a victim with bodily harm or death? Was the author explicitly shunned by the target of his affection and then continued to aggressively pursue her obsessively? No? Then it is not stalking.
Your intuition is wrong here because vehicles are kept around for a long time (~25years) and the study covered a longer period.

The definition used in this study places the percentage of the vehicle fleet as SUVs from 13% in 2000 to 21.5% in 2019 while causing 40% of all children’s deaths over the study period. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Pedestrian-deaths-and-...

Thus on average a SUV was more than 4x as likely to kill kid than a car.
