The reason "secure boot" (yeah, scare quotes intended) is not the default for linux distributions:

> The boot loader and kernel must be signed with a trusted key recognized by the UEFI firmware. Microsoft maintains a widely trusted key for Secure Boot called the Microsoft UEFI Certificate Authority, and many Linux distributions use it to sign their boot loaders and kernels. This enables them to boot on systems with Secure Boot enabled by default.
The MCAS system is still on the 737MAX.

He stepped down, and my quick search doesn't show him actually facing punishment. And his case was different, as some members of staff did believe he was encouraging use of Signal to prevent FOIA strikes.
Shingy gets a lot of hate. I get it. He looks goofy. He was literally AOL's "Digital Prophet". It's all readily mockable. I mocked him myself; but I've changed my mind.

A few years ago, he gave an interview with New York Magazine[0], and its eye opening. He was just a marketing guy that fell into an internal evangelist role, because he could talk to people at AOL that still had no idea what the internet was.

I really recommend reading it. I came away thinking he wasn't the cartoon everyone thinks he is.

Hello, I am Jessi! I am mid-career full-stack software engineer with a background in healthcare and biotech. I am a passionate and driven problem solver, authentic leader, and clear communicator of technical concepts.

Experienced working cross-functionally with engineering, product, and design teams in an Agile team environment developing REST APIs and front end applications. Comfortable with project ideation, synthesizing requirements, code implementation, and testing.

10+ years of prior experience as a GIS Analyst in aquatic biology, sustainable aquaculture, acoustic research, and carbon science applications.

I am currently looking for my next role! Diverse and inclusive team culture and strong team work ethic are important to me. Let's make an impact!
adaptive optics cant change the diffraction limit. The only way to overcome that is with a bigger lens or synthetic aperture post-processing. SAR at optical wavelengths from orbital distances and velocities? Yeah, good luck
I take their point: all the material used in compositing was filmed/shot. Digital compositing, while it feels a bit like cheating seems like an acceptable nod to modern tech in order to have additional atmosphere (rain, fire, snow) that would be nearly impossible otherwise (or if possible, wildly ballooning the budget).

And other recent films using 3-d printing to create the many varied faces and posed hands of the "puppetoons" is acceptable as well.

When I watch the old "Rudolph" animated films I cringe a bit when they add the rotoscoped snow on top of the otherwise 3D animated figures/sets. Aardman seems to have struck the right balance.

That's fundamentally not true. If someone is a hardcore gamer then they probably weren't buying Macs, but most customers do a bit of everything, and I would wager a very significant percentage of Mac users want to game a bit.

But major gaming studios like Blizzard who have normally made Mac versions of their titles are abandoning the Mac now. Epic is banned. The great white (and always misguided) hope that iOS games would come en-masse has not panned out at all. The library has been decimated by the withdrawal of 32bit support. Metal is not gaining development traction. Boot Camp is no longer an option.

The software story for the Mac is getting worse not better, and that is a problem for Apple.
the secret sauce of AI
I wouldn’t necessarily call digital compositing, retouching or VFX in general CGI. The result is of course a computer generated image strictly speaking, but the term is usually used for images that are completely computer generated, i.e. have no optical source in the physical worls.
I see a lot of tech related solutions. Most tech tends to be a bad idea for information longevity, even for 20 years. Multiple hard copies given to trusted friends (or even a legal service) would be the most robust way.
On Ubuntu apt installs the snap version of an app if one exists. I spent some time trying to figure out a workaround that didn't break my system but couldn't and just admitted defeat.

Uninstalling snap removed every web browser available short of lynx and w3m. That was fun. Trying to add one back also adds snap back. Next install I'm ditching Ubuntu.
Good to know. I should add that I actually liked the stuff that I heard, much more so than most contemporary Western "classical"/concert music, and I'm happy to follow up on this particular composer. I was just disappointed at how little it sounded like bird song to me, and instead fell into what seem to be some stereotypical tropes of this style.
Either way, it means more levers of control by the CCP, which is not positive if you're trying to run a business. It introduces more uncertainty if nothing else, which is a negative.

Every time they are wrong, which is every time the user slips on a key.
You make good points, but I think we agree on the core.

There are challenges with a pay for performance model, but a business that successfully operates on one is sending very strong evidence that they are actually effective.

A fee for service program may or may not be good, but the burden of proof is now on the company that they are worth what you'll spend on them.

Show HN: Daba – Turn your JSON into a database
Hi all, I built this tool when I needed a simple LocalStorage-esque database for a client project, and figured others might want something similar.

Basically turns your JSON into a query-able, hosted database in seconds. You can read/update/delete JSON files by path, just like you would in Javascript. So, something like get(”users[7].address”)

And while we’re at it, I also built a simple file storage service where you upload a file and it gives you the URL back.

A lot of my (and other devs friends') side projects will never require more data than a JSON file can handle. Yet we always have to go through the hoops of setting up and using databases meant to handle huge amounts of data.

There are many other services that could benefit from the same minimalist philosophy. The idea is to have a bunch of building blocks of different services, and let the developer scale up/down the complexity as they see fit. I'm working on more services for daba (In no particular order: SQLite db?, auth, emails, …)

You can use this for any applications where the data can fit in a JSON file. (e.g. Website CMS, blog, portfolio, small mobile apps, internal tools, …). You’ll be surprised at how much data a 20mb JSON file can hold: https://github.com/json-iterator/test-data/blob/master/large...

Hi, Would love to find someone interested in taking on the consumer marketing side of our project, while we develop dealer channels and corp direct sales. Sitting is killing us.

Agree, nor do I consider masking/rigging-removal to be "CG". They're subtractive, not additive.

I think it just requires a reframing of what to expect. Films from Tarkovsky or other capital D Directors "of Director's Directors fame" are less plot driven. Films from older eras are less plot driven / hadn't developed the tempo of modernity (I'd summarize the tempo change as needing to lead the viewer into what's next). Combine them both and you get something that feels like watching paint dry, the catch being the paint dries on 120ft of canvas. You're in the museum and the tapestry moves. Rather than trying to constantly figure out what's next / where this is going (you don't notice this in modern films as the tempo has already fed it to you / shuttled you along to the next plot point), just sit there and enjoy the view. In Stalker the shots are (op/im)pressively long. And I love them.
This one has two problems.

1) the way he's enunciating every word and then pausing stops this from flowing nicely as a tune. Maybe its good for teaching but it doesn't sound as nice as flowing nicely would, and the tune ends up helping you memorize it better than the trop (since reading at the actual torah scroll doesn't have the trop).

2) while he has good overall sound and reading of the trop, the interface isn't highlighting the trop involved - you can memorize the reading but it isn't doing a good job teaching the tune of each trop to someone who needs the help enough to use it. It needs some re-work to make sure people associate the correct trop with the tune it creates.

still totally usable but a student needs to know to make an effort to connect the words smoothly and not pause as this person does.

edit: listening to some of this I also notice some inconsistencies in how he treats some of the trop. It might be a different style issue but I don't think so.
For more hollywoodism, NASA also released a short video clip. Especially the intro definitely captures that "dramatic" look.

It is interesting that this could actually be a SteamDeck competitor...

or what'd be cooler is it could actually be another platform that supports SteamDeck OS and is fully validated by Valve.

By far the most important feature of the SteamDeck is that Valve validates/profiles supported games against the SteamDeck hardware and SteamDeck OS.

As a consumer I can be assured the game I am purchasing will likely not have graphics card issues, driver bugs, etc. as Valve QA testers/other SteamDeck users will likely have experienced similar issues before me and Value will likely have already solved these issues - either by modifying the SteamDeck OS or working with the game creator.

Valve/SteamDeck OS would be more like Google/Android OS with Valve validating the OS/apps/games against HW offerings by multiple HW vendors.

The original SteamDeck would be more like a Pixel device - basically a reference HW platform to get the ball rolling.

Here are excerpts from a Canadian Supreme Court decision explaining the reasoning in a much better way than my previous summary. Reasoning is the same.

P38 The first issue is important because it governs whether the prohibition on possession is confined to representations of actual persons, or whether it extends to drawings from the imagination, cartoons, or computer generated composites. The available evidence suggests that explicit sexual materials can be harmful whether or not they depict actual children (...)

P43 (...)The question is this: would a reasonable observer perceive the person in the representation as being under 18 and engaged in explicit sexual activity?

P51 Family photos of naked children, viewed objectively, generally do not have as their “dominant characteristic” the depiction of a sexual organ or anal region “for a sexual purpose”. Placing a photo in an album of sexual photos and adding a sexual caption could change its meaning such that its dominant characteristic or purpose becomes unmistakably sexual in the view of a reasonable objective observer(...)

Thank you, that is definitely the page for me.
Wayland still doesn't provide reasonable accessibility, and X11 lacks real problems at least from an user perspective (see also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35430864). I think it's quite a hard sell, wayland is architecturally better and more easy to developers, and to users, its more bug-prone, feature-lacking and less-supported than X11.
Bash does not work the same on Linux and Mac, as the version for Mac is the GPLv2 option which has a different, reduced syntax vs the common version in Linux (or WSL2 versions of linux), so a linux bash script may well fail when run on MacOS. Further more, the binary architectures are different so a linux ELF binary wont work on Mac either.

Your WSL comparisons are incorrect as well: WSL Linux on Windows can not only access and run commands like find over the entire windows file system, but it can also run windows executables - these start in windows even though triggered from bash or whatever in Linux. And vice versa: Windows can run linux binaries which start in WSL (or dual use it like Docker for windows which uses a wsl backend). Furthermore, if that floats your boat, if you start a linux gui application (I occasionally do with browsers or certain recon tools) it runs fine in a window as part of the windows ui experience.

So its not really like a linux vm on mac at all, not even considering the vastly better performance you get from WSL vs a VM.

He's brilliant and how he comes up with that stuff is beyond me.

At the same time, he's creepily aggressive with guests, I find him excruciating to watch. (Not because of the speech mannerisms.) If they don't do what he wants, like repeating his little do-doo thing at the end, he really ups the ante on them.
xi jinping has been criticised for this but he's in his "my legacy lives on forever" phase of life.

You essentially admitted that this is a correct concern, and not a "cultish" belief. Now we're just debating when.

> Do you see some connection between the concern you've raised and the desire to shut down AI development for 6 months?

Perhaps? In general, living an additional 6 months is something I'd desire.
I have it on my S76 laptop but I don't use it much now, I'm more comfortable on win10 which I dual boot and also use on my desktop. I'm getting older, so its harder for me to context switch between windows/linux desktop environments.

However, I do like PopOS, I'm glad I got it pre-installed when I got the laptop, which I was on the fence about. I did have to tweak it to be like how I want, but that's true of every linux ever.

With win11 being such a disaster I suspect my windows days are finally numbered. Hopefully PopOS is still good when I finally need to switch full time.
Looks like it's plastic. PVC I guess.
They basically encapsulate what a model has "learned." ML models without their weights are useless because the output is essentially random noise. You then train the model on data, and it changes the weights into numbers that cause the whole thing to work. Training data and processing power are usually very expensive so the resulting weights are valuable.

> Now, instead of a personal coach, Michael Jordan brings on Karl Malone, Stockton, Pippen, AI, and few other 90s all-star players, and you get a chance to meet with them weekly.

If I was able to have weekly meetings with Warren Buffet, Jamie Dimon, Tim Cook, and Elon Musk about "how to do business/grow a business I was in control of", how often do you think their ideas would be in alignment versus basically conflicting?

> Michael Jordan tried his hand at three positions during his years in the NBA career. They are Shooting Guard (SG), Small Forward (SF), and Point Guard (PG).

> Karl Malone, Nicknamed "the Mailman", he is considered one of the greatest power forwards in NBA history.

> One of the NBA's best-ever pure point guards, John Stockton is the NBA's all-time steals and assists leader.

> Scottie Pippen: Position: Small Forward

> Allen Iverson: Position: Shooting Guard and Point Guard

Could any of them combine and tell Steph Curry how to play whatever position he is today (magical mythical 3 point drainer)? If each of them had different attributes/style, what could they collectively come together to agree on/teach you on?

> point guard (PG) or 1, the shooting guard (SG) or 2, the small forward (SF) or 3, the power forward (PF) or 4, and the center (C) or 5.

Can any of them teach you how to be a great center?

Salvator Fabris also takes the pragmatic position, writing in his preface:

"We have written in our mother tongue, Italian, dispensing with flowers of rhetoric and elegance of style, not thinking shame to acknowledge our little learning, or, following the example of a very famous captain of our age, to declare that in our youth we could not wield both the sword and the pen. [...] We have shunned the use of geometrical terms, although swordsmanship has its foundations more in geometry than in any other science. Simply and as naturally as possible we have tried to bring the art within the capacity of all. "
