For those confused as to why there's all this signedness handling for the 2's complement multiplication algorithm we were all taught in school is identical for both signed and unsigned numbers: x86 multiplication is widening. The 8086 would compute the 32 bit product of two 16 bit values[1] (one of which must be AX) and place the result in two output registers (DX and AX, always).

If you interpret the arguments as unsigned, you can treat the input high bits as zeroes. But if it's signed then you need to conceptually sign-extend the high bit. So they're different operations with different results in the high word.

[1] There was an 8 bit multiply too. It didn't have this property and looked more like a normal instruction, kens would have to tell us if it shared the same microcode.

AppImage is a more localized approach to Flatpak's "bundle everything" in that instead of trying to have shared libraries across different applications (Flatpak tries to share runtimes), every set of dependencies is local to the application itself. In a way it is kinda like trying to static link everything, though of course it doesn't technically use static linking - and it is really up to the developer what "everything" means (it can still rely on stuff on the underlying OS). Also it only tries to solve the dependency problem, whereas Flatpak tries to do a bunch of other stuff.

From a "how things should be" perspective, both are bad IMO (see my other messages here), but from a purely practical perspective based on my experience with trying to use applications using them, AppImage tends to work slightly better and since it is local only to the application, it doesn't pollute the rest of the system.

If i had to choose, i'd choose none of them, but if i had to choose between the two then AppImage is by far the most preferable.

Banks often have policies that have the effect of penalizing reporting fraud and other issues.

Right before a trip I wanted to withdraw $60 in cash. I went to one atm, but it showed an error and didn't dispense the cash. So I went to another. Later in the day I saw the first ATM had withdrawn from my account despite the errror.

I called and was told if I wanted to ask for the transaction to be reversed they would cancel my card and mail me a new one. Of course, that meant I wouldn't have the card on my trip.

I ended up eating the $60. Suppose I could have tried disputing further.

1. Republicans refuse to enforce any environmental regulation on industries, no matter how dire the consequences.

2. Poisonous chemicals leech into air, soil, water. Then they accumulate up the food chain. Humans are at the apex.

3. Synthetic hormones, plastics, and etc. decimate fertility.

If you’re concerned about population growth, you should support some degree of environmental regulation. Only one mainstream* party in the states gets you that.

* A mathematical consequence of first past the post voting systems is that the two largest parties are stable. Third parties only exist as unstable equilibria. If you desire a serious third party, you should also support election reform. . . which also means not voting Republican.

pretty sure you haven't used ipfs before.

After I bought my new car, I got an email with a header image that looked like it had been scanned from a physical piece of paper, badly. It referenced my name and the bank I had a loan from, but all the domains in the email were not my bank. It claimed I hadn't sent in proof of insurance. I did that at the dealership on the day I bought the car.

I ignored it.

I got it again and ignored it.

On the third attempt, I finally called my bank. It actually was from them, and they really did somehow not have my proof of insurance, and really were going to cancel my loan.

I tried to explain to them what was wrong with the email, but they couldn't understand.

Edit: In the end, I physically went to the bank to handle it. I didn't do anything else remotely with them.

While missing the point, you've proved the point.

It's that Siri/Cortana/OK Google/Alexa are not a replacement for ChatGPT, and ChatGPT is not a replacement for those.

They're different tools and claiming they're in a race with each other is disingenuous.. like your reply, so maybe you should write for NYT too?

Siri also demonstrated great potential, but that never materialized. Not only that, but the service as it is in practice has been improving incredible slowly over time.
That sounds reasonable. Thanks for the clarification.

Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
>If you time travel back 50 years ago and told them in the future that a computer could ace almost any exam given to a high school student, most people would consider that a form of AGI.

The problem is that these sorts of things were thought to require some sort of understanding of general intelligence, when in practice you get solve them pretty well with algorithms that clearly aren't intelligent and aren't made with an understanding of intelligence. Like, if you time travel back 100 years and told them that in the future a computer could beat any grandmaster at chess, they might consider that a form of AGI too. But we know with hindsight that it isn't true, that playing chess doesn't require intelligence, just chess prowess. That's not to say that GPT4 or whatever isn't a step towards intelligence, but it's ludicrous to say that they're a significant advancement towards that goal.
I'm curious if anyone has any answer beyond "flavor," which is a valid reason to do something, but is worth being explicit about.
Kinda extreme to declare a winner when the race just started. But I really really really hope this forces Apple to make a Siri + LLM feature. Even a 7B model would work better than Siri today.
Option 1:

Sounds to me like physical access is most likely. Your friend, or someone who knows them saw the message on your phone because you left it unlocked somewhere, and added it that way.

Option 2:

Autocomplete randomly added some weird stuff to your message without you noticing it, and your friend took credit for it, because that's the kind of friend they are.

Option 3:

Your draft got synced to some other phone or computer that you were logged in to that your friend had access to. Maybe you logged in on a device that they own or something, or maybe you aren't using any sort of MFA and they just guessed your password.

Option 4:

If you're interested in narrowing things down a bit, you could give more information about exactly which model of phone you have, what level of jailbreak that it's in, exactly which Android flavor you're running, the patch level of the OS, and exactly which text messaging app you're using (different carriers and manufacturers ship different default SMS apps). Also relevant would be the message you were trying to send, and exactly what got injected.
Most posts offer the obvious suggestions (The Mom Test, High Growth Handbook, The Personal MBA, The Power Law, Hard Thing about Hard Thing, Will It Fly, etc), so I'll focus on some non-obvious suggestions.

For tactical advice, I find talks/podcasts and mastermind groups more useful than books. My favorite podcast (by far) is Rob Walling's Startups for the Rest of Us, which is oriented towards building a capital-efficient bootstrapped business. The archive is full of extremely valuable tactical advice.

The books I've found most helpful on my entrepreneurship journey are about mental health, emotional intelligence, and relationships of all kinds. Sharing a few that have had a profound impact, since they helped me metabolize and understand what drove me to become a founder in the first place.

The fact that economies of scale exist means that even unregulated markets will consolidate. Regulation is an orthogonal concept. On the spectrum of market competitiveness, one extreme end (perfect competition) is an unstable state, and the other extreme end (monopoly) is a stable state. As consumers we benefit from competition, but free markets abhor competition. Something needs to intervene to reintroduce competitiveness into monopolized markets, and that something is going to be indistinguishable from a government.
100% . Exactly and if "money" lands in the accounts of agents (people, businesses) who do not spend it, its not inflationary. If I have 10 trillion dollars in my account, but I do not use it. Its not inflationary. This is called a demand leakage. Savings is a demand leakage. Counterintuitive.
My opinion, based on observation, is the opposite (i.e. you perceive a "taboo" against victim-blaming because victim-blaming is a real problem). Obviously we need both sides of the coin (help targets to help themselves, and hamper attackers). And yes, some people may jump to accusations of victim-blaming too quickly. But, I think it's an exaggeration to imply that there is a significant problem where people are characterizing "suggesting things people can do to reduce their risk of becoming victims" as victim-blaming in the context of money scams.

I think that, by far the greater poison holding us back is the obsession with personal responsibility that many people use as an excuse to not have to expend additional effort on dealing with a problem pragmatically. If you are suggesting educating people or giving them tools to deal with scams, that's great. But a lot of people don't want to do that under the very same rationale that you are using to justify it - that the victims could have avoided it. You are saying, "people can avoid this - we need to help them do so", but there is a significant part of society whose opinion on many topics where there is a victim is, "people can avoid this - they need to take responsibility".
This extortion is so common that it has an entire subreddit devoted to it (/r/sextortion) and it's often busier than the /r/scams subreddit.

Again, this is a problem with global versus local context.

Just a made up scenario. You have 2 gallons of water and two people. You give each one gallon of water, which should be enough to survive. One lives and one dies. Why? The water was split fairly.

For example one could live in the hot desert in which more water is required, and the other lives in a temperate environment where either less water is required, or water can be gathered from this environment.

But just think how messy it is to compute fairness in a situation like this. Suddenly it's looking like a NP style problem. People on the other hand typically want cheap and easy solutions.
You’re the one making excuses for the most warmongering country in the last 100 years, involved in 80% of all the wars in the entire world, with more spent on the military industry than the next 10 countries combined, and maintaining 800 bases around the world while the rest of the world has 30.

The links are to back up everything I am saying with MAINSTREAM SOURCES and quotes from the very people who admitted lied to you and thought of you as a “useful idiot”. If you don’t want to click them, simply don’t. The cognitive dissonance might be too great. The polls show what actual people think who actually live in these countries. The links are all to mainstream and experts. In any other area of life, backing up your points would be normal and praiseworthy. But you are so afraid of challenging the official propaganda narrative, that you won’t open yourself up to more information.

Let’s be clear. I don’t care about countries or flags nearly as much as I care about human beings, their lives, safety, a good economy etc.

I have seen this exact same game play out multiple times in proxy wars between USA and USSR. Countries got razed to the ground. Civilians died. I don’t want that for Ukrainians.

It’s true that I was born in Russia but that is not behind what I am saying. For example, when Russia went to war in Chechnya and razed their capital city TO THE GROUND, I unequivocally condemn Russia. Even though it is “an internal matter” according to the International Community, and Chechnya had “no right” to become independent of Russia, I consider that bullshit. I would much prefer a resolution that has less violence, less wanton destruction. And that typically involves letting the region have more autonomy and yes, even independence. My approach is CONSISTENT.

I have defended Iran, for instance, in the past against such simplistic analysis. I have praised Hezbollah and Iran and Russia for coming to the aid of Syria against rampaging Jihadists with Saudi money and US weaponry. I call things as they are and my commitment is to the truth.

North Korea had an agreement with Clinton, not to develop a nuke. GWB and the Republicans called it expensive “appeasement” and let the deal die on the vine. North Korea got a nuke. Who is better off? Is it more expensive to deal with them now? Yes. Same with Iran and JCPOA. It was foolishness to nix the best DIPLOMATIC solution that placed more inspectors than any country, ever. Now Iran will develop a nuke! Many nukes! And it’s all because of Trump and Bibi Netanyahu.

I am Jewish yet I can criticize Bibi and Trump. I am born in Russia yet I can criticize Russia, condemn their invasion and arming “moderate rebels” in the Donbas, etc. I live in USA and I do the same thing here. MY SIDE IS REGULAR PEOPLE AND MY SOLUTION IS DIPLOMACY. And most of the world outside your bubble agrees with me. Or at the very least 30% of the world does. So your narrative — just like all other sad attempts to coerce others into one official propaganda line — have failed and will fail. You can’t fool all the people all the time:

This order doesn't broadly apply beyond Epic. It seems to me that they're blocking Epic from locking accounts specifically because of the dark patterns they used to get users to accidentally spend money.

I doubt this would be applied to other companies unless they also found those companies used confusing UIs to get people to pay. Which is still good news nonetheless, as the main issue for me is all these dark patterns in the first place.

> What advantages has Nix over Flatpak? Seems to be just yet another esoteric solution for installing software? Why should one prefer it over other solutions?

It's not just for installing software - I have a declarative, shared configuration for each software that works deterministically on each system I share it with (NixOS or not).

> Are Nix-Installations portable? I use Flatpak to have the same installation on different systems available, just move my SSD between them. How ell would this work with Nix?

No, but the configurations are (see earlier response), so this seems to be the same benefit here.

> How well does Nix integrate packages into the system? Flatpak is integrating apps into the desktop environments. Probably just following standards, but is Nix doing this too?

I don't exactly know how to answer this - and it's probably partially because I don't use many modern desktop environments (when on NixOS I use i3, otherwise I'm on macOS, which is a bit of a specialized usecase). So I can't really comment here.

As far as installing immutable packages accessible from the system - it does a pretty exceptional job.
Flatpak seems great for users who don't understand or care about open source software platforms, other than that they don't have to pay money for it.

A contemporary app store is a spectacularly awesome middleperson business to be in -- both in revenue, and in anti-competitive power.
Funnily I got some emails and phone calls from Amex some time ago that were extremely phishy (like aexp.com), but they happen to have a website listing the domains they use:

No such thing for the phone numbers though, and since they were just regular landlines not recognised by Google and not available through a Google search, I declined to provide them any information.

There absolutely needs to be regulation for that, like there is the "Mentions Legales" or "Imprint" in France and Germany (a website needs to have a page who they are actually, with an address and everyhing).
