There was less "authority" back then. If you showed up to a school in the 1930s, they'll put you in some class. There won't be any serious paper work, no questions about where you are coming from or if you were residing near the school. The authority was manifested by the teachers/school itself rather than the state.

To give you a better perspective, if you were traveling back then, border control will be the only deciding body of whether you make it or not. Nowadays, you only show up at the border if the "State" has determined that you are admissible. Border control still has a say in the matter but that's power is getting smaller and smaller.

It's a paradox, because while the bureaucracy has increased and ossified, there was a lack of accountability back then. If the teacher of that school decided that you are inadmissible, you are pretty much out of option.

Finally, here is an excerpt from Wikipedia to show you how much things have changed:

> During World War I, European governments introduced border passport requirements for security reasons, and to control the emigration of people with useful skills. These controls remained in place after the war, becoming a standard, though controversial, procedure. British tourists of the 1920s complained, especially about attached photographs and physical descriptions, which they considered led to a "nasty dehumanisation".[19] The British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act was passed in 1914, clearly defining the notions of citizenship and creating a booklet form of the passport.
Yes. These managed networks require EAP-SIM (or something similar).
You're describing grad school in the sciences for doctoral candidates. For other types of graduate education such as master's degree programs in public policy, international relations, or business administration it's totally possible to rush through if you can handle the load and can make the required course schedules line up.

Ray Dalio’s book was helpful in understanding this period of time, as well as The Fourth Turning.

Definitely just part of the cycle of civilization. Might be helpful to pull up that that framework in order to understand what’s happening.

I’d love to hear any other titles like this. I’m almost done with Disunited Nations by Zehan. Some interesting ideas in there, but the book isn’t as interesting as his ongoing YouTube posts have been this far — just got it today so I’m only have way done.

Apple Scammed Me
A couple of weeks ago I found what I considered to be a low level vulnerability in iMessage. You could clobber an iMessage that had been sent to you with your own custom message. There were no visual effects and it withstood context switches at the very least. I was modifying real memory in iMessage FROM THEIR GUI. In apple's defense I never bothered to hunt down how severe of a problem this was (ie was i overflowing a buffer or was the write controlled?). Regardless they at first struggled to reproduce the exploit. It got to a point where I had to generate a sysdiagnose for them. This was 8 days ago. They immediately patched it in Ventura 13.3 without a word about it or any credit for me. I'm younger (if you couldn't tell from my profile) and it would've meant a lot to me career wise as I work in RE/VR. I've seen much less severe things get designated CVEs.
I think the argument is about choice, not whether this tech should exist. When a device or app forces DNS-over-HTTPS it does so to take away my choice.
Those hundreds of people have agreed to assign their copyright to The Verge (Vox Media). They could be writing elsewhere or self-publishing.

Journalistic reputation is important for a reason.
Nope, literally just copy pasted the text from the front page with this prompt.

> I'm going to send you a list of headlines from Hacker News, I'd like you to choose one of the headlines that you're best placed to comment on. Here are the headlines:
> Or forbidding Apple from making iOS/iPhone secure enough to be used by at-risk individuals being targeted by nation state actors with n > $1M in resources to use on attacking someone (by forcing them to allow third-party app stores/downloading apps from websites/etc)?

This has always been a pretext. They could sell phones that allow you to do any of those things by default and allow the user to set an option that locks the device to only Apple's store until the device is factory wiped. That would not be any less secure for people who choose that option, but would give people the choice without tying that choice to the entire platform.

> It's a duopoly. But what is the solution?

That depends on who you are.

If you're a government, antitrust.

If you're anyone technical, buy a device that isn't always the easiest to use and then use your talents to make it better for everyone.

If you're in a managerial role at any kind of large enterprise, smart companies have purchasing requirements that penalize certain vendor behavior, by prohibiting purchases from them entirely or requiring them to come in some significant percentage lower than any competing bid. Make sure vendor-locked products get penalized by your company. Let the vendors know this is why they're not being chosen. (The reverse version of this also works: Have corporate charge individual departments a large premium for purchases of disfavored products. Then they have to decide how much they really need it and alternatives get attractive.)

If you're a regular person, don't buy anything that requires you to install an app on your phone. Use your bank's website and if you can't then get a different bank. Don't do business with companies that remove your choice of platforms, even if you still don't currently have one, so that someday you might.
> but there's nothing a machine puts into this, there's nothing being transmitted

That depends on your prompt. You can make it longer if you have more to say. It's a conditional language model, you can select the place it starts from and how to go. But you can't blame it for bad prompts.

Instead of seeing LLM as "nothing there, just token probabilities", I'd rather see it as a distillation of human culture. It's like a mirror house with infinite reflexions and complexities. A place to contemplate, a microscope where you can study something in detail, a simulator where you can deploy experiments.
works yes but it is jumpy and no gestures by default. my ability to precisely mouse over a target and click is significantly diminished from osx. I only installed a few months ago so the loss is still near to me.
Reading minds is not a hard problem to solve. The Akinator can do that reliably and it's not even a neural network. (I won't even mention the venerable millenia-old fortune telling industry.)
Honestly, I feel that the code I write is self-documenting unless there's an obscure gotcha that necessitates a comment.
As a customer I don’t really care if it’s hardware or software, Apple delivers where others don’t.

Kinda neat. I mentioned my mapping app and it recommended the Latin Carto root.
My understanding is that there is some form of reasoning behind the 100mL limitation. Sufficiently easy to procure liquids can blow up a plan when they are in a container bigger than 100mL (300mL, 1L, I don’t know what the findings were).

Now, what I do know is that pouring liquids together in a largers plastic bag is very easy, you can do that inside a backpack. I had to do this multiple times due to leaky milk bottles, leaky shampoo bottles, etc. The plastic bag simply has to be strong enough to stay in form while filling up.

Hence my point that this 100mL limitation is useless (from a volume limitation point of view), and I assume (not an expert on explosives) that if there was a limitation at 100mL, there must be something dangerous enough above this volume. Hence the overall regulation is useless.

Hope it clarifies my reasoning.

The 8086 patent also only included a few examples, and the naming conventions for microcode registers and instructions. The full microcode for that one was disassembled by Andrew Jenner.
Very much this.

And for those that for some reason don’t want to use the exact phrase “fuck off”, let it be known that you can say the moral equivalent of this phrase while being super polite – you still need to be firm though.
If one brings this up 5 years ago, they are gonna be branded as authoritarian. How times are changed.
How would you define advertising? If there were no advertisements how would people know about products? They would have to read discussions and recommendations but how would those discussions and recommendations not be considered advertisements?
That kind of reminds me of the short story "Surface Tension" by James Blish [1]. There's a link at the bottom of the Wikipedia page to the story at the Internet Archive if anyone wants to read it. It's pretty good.

No need to ban anything. Just disable auto-populate on scrolling and rate limit all social media pages to one page per minute where the definition of "page" is what fits on a 6" display. In this day and age of anemic attention span, kids will throw their hands in the air and walk away in 5 mins.
Especially in the streets, sidewalks, and stoops of San Francisco!
I tried using this for a while on my Mac and while it generally works, it just wasn’t reliable enough. Sometimes the camera wouldn’t turn on automatically or it would claim to be in use by another process. It’s also not supported in all programs, and even when it is, it can be a pain to switch cameras due to UI annoyances.

In short, your webcam is one of those things that really needs to work 100% or it’ll end up causing problems at exactly the wrong time. No one wants to have to fiddle with the camera during an important meeting.

I don't get it. Why? You can speak to smart assistants much longer than that isn't it?
It was Catan, and then Rosenberg’s Agricola that did it for me.
Mine has an enclosed back verandah, a 3x15 meter space with lots of hideyholes. She also gets (supervised) time in a backyard with long grass. Doubtless she kills lizards and rodents during this time. But it's about as good a compromise as I can give her.
This is so tragic. I can only hope this helps spur action to curb crime in the city. RIP Bob :(

I installed Linux on Macbook Air 2012 the day I bought it in 2012. I actually still have it in use. :)
Back then the driver support was great, until I think 2014 when the security chip was introduced and a few drivers were missing for some years.
Interesting. I never considered this. Looked it up and found specific rules and an interesting discussion on BoardGameGeek. Well worth reading, especially if you are an advanced player:

It's at the least definitive proof that they're delivering an in-house laptop soon, rather than a Clevo rebrand. That's something.

Yup, but an older machine does not always run a newer version of macOS as smooth as one would wish.

A common estimate is that the hiring process costs a year of salary. You kinda want to nail it and not have too many do-overs, even if firing is easy.
Gestures are not there on Linux, but in terms of mouse movement and scrolling I don't see a difference!
That's the PWA feature the person you are responding to means, isn't it? (Which AFAIK wouldn't work on a webview.)
Can I know which IDE did you try copilot with?
That would probably be difficult to enforce. Just ban smartphones if you're so inclined.
As someone 8 years sober from social media, I’m convinced the benefits of banning it would far outweigh the cost.
Why was he called crazybob?
Maybe unpopular opinion but PWAs generally just suck compared to their native counterparts. There's always something perceptibly 'wrong' that makes them an inferior user experience, even if only marginally so. I worked on PWAs for a while and users complained endlessly even if they can't articulate exactly why.

Technologists are enticed by the cost and development time savings of PWAs over native, but users resent the diminished user experience that almost always comes with it and repay you with poor ratings/reviews.
It saddens me that there is no easy alternative to this idea. Social media is how I grew up and how I became a better person. Without social media I wouldn't have been allowed to meet some of the most important people in my life. Without social media I wouldn't have been able to explore or even discover my DID or ADHD. Or even my own identity, which I had to form essentially from scratch due to dissociation.

Most notably, I wouldn't have been able to develop any of the coping mechanisms that kept me from committing suicide during periods of depression. That is, the feeling that people out there care about me and would miss me if I died. The ability to talk to those people every day and feel love for them.

I'm autistic and the internet is the only place I was ever truly able to connect with. Only now that I've started ADHD medication—something I never would have done without the help of social media, since someone had to tell me personally that I might have ADHD—I am finally able to start trying to appreciate the real world.

But... I grew up years ago, and the world is different now. The social media back then is not the social media today. It does not have the same effect on children that it had on me, not even to mention that I'm highly neurodivergent.

Maybe that is what truly saddens me. Can not reproduce.
As a privacy driven tech person, I find brave to be semi cringe yet at the same time one of the few companies that is actually trying to innovate on an approachable set of mainstream, privacy focused tools, a web browser, search, and a (more) privacy preserving ads platform for the web.

I don’t like everything that they do, but I respect the fact that they are actually trying things.

Saying flat out that a privacy driven tech person wouldn’t use brave at all is reflective of the counterproductive discourse within the community, where every tool in existence fails someone’s purity test. Firefox, ddg, protonmail, etc have all had their scandals.
Such as? Genuine question.
Yeah, it's not even like parking is the cause of the extra spacing, only the effect. In any city where space is extra valuable, this free parking "problem" quickly goes away.
Some parts of SoMa, this is true, like 4th Street+.

The area where this man died is known as Rincon Hill and is dominated by tech offices, Sweetgreens, and luxury highrise apartment buildings and is basically dead after 8pm every day of the week. I lived a block away from where this man was stabbed for a month and it felt safe and dead quiet once all the tech workers go home.
Middle school isn't a universal thing, a lot of places have just elementary (~1-7), and high (~8-12) school.

And the grades mix/don't mix on their own volition at lunch and recess, anyways.
I have tried this multiple times on my 2014 MBA and it works mostly. Unfortunately, my model has some weird hardware(?) issue where the screen starts flickering when the intel i915 driver is loaded AND something communicates on the smbus. So if the cooling fan kicks in, or I use the function keys to change keyboard backlight brightness, my screen starts flickering.

Same thing happened when I tried dual booting Windows. I guess Apple has some workaround for this specific hardware model.

Now this Macbook is running Debian and is relegated to be a headless controller for my 3D printer with Klipper. It's pretty amazing for this, as it boots in like 5 seconds.
> That said, why did they go to Bell Labs rather than a building constructor in the first place?

I don’t know the real answer, to be clear, and I had the same question when reading the story. But I suspect the answer is a combination of prestige (everyone wants to work with bell labs, not John smith of idahos metallurgy shop) and connections (someone at bell labs knew a local politician who knows a guy who knows a NPS worker in that team).

That’s usually what everything is.
We have hired back to back people that we had to let go. When you take 4 hours to respond to simple questions you either have two jobs or you are not disciplined enough to be working from home.
I believe so. Isn't Wayland default on Fedora? Did you compare Wayland to X11? I also went for the KDE Plasma spin.
I similarly found the trackpad fine with Linux mint.

Tho I found the difference in gestures quite annoying. Primarily in web apps like Miro. And window / app switching.

With enough hacking around it seemed like all the gesture support was there, but making it all work in the same way as OSX was going to require a lot of configuration.
I remember you from the other thread about Safari where you were claiming there are no problems whatsoever, so I'm not surprised you're pushing the same agenda here. Regardless what people reply to that question at least agree that when support is missing Safari will be the common denominator. For me, it's not even about APIs. My game gets like 1 FPS on Safari iOS and I'm not using any non-standard features.
Sorry I tried brave once and never looked back but I am wondering... why would I Opt in for ads that I specifically got a browser to remove?
I suspect we can't even define social media, let alone ban it.

There should be a tax on infinite scrolling. It could be a better way of regulating this. Enforcement could be very difficult though, and of course it should only come into affect at a certain number of users so we don’t stifle innovation
Some time ago did Linux install on iMac 27" which didn't accept macOS upgrades anymore due to old hardware (which is very decent!).

I've been using Ubuntu for very long time.

But I started using popOS (Ubuntu based) - and on my - I didn't realize how polished and perfect it is, all Ubuntu muscle memory can stay as is etc. I've got it on other machine (Ryzen with GTX 4090) and all this first class support for deep learning (https://support.system76.com/articles/tensorman/) is great.
It hurts to read this:

I'm extra careful with compatibility claims after the number of times someone says how Linux works great on whatever Mac, or Mac OS runs great on a Hackintosh, only for me to discover how many "inconsequential" things are broken. Like it'll not sleep, not have wifi or bluetooth, run the fans at 100%, and be missing various forms of hardware accel.
