Our Team Overturned the 90-Year-Old Metaphor of a ‘Little Man’ in the Brain
I think if you own the device, you do own the software, or framed the opposite way, if you don't own the software, you don't own the device

What you're proposing is not really ownership of the device in any meaningful way, but just a license to use it on somebody else's terms.

I don't want a world in which I don't own the device I pay for, so neither Sony nor Apple should be able to dictate what I do with them.

It's like selling you a screwdriver and then saying you can only use it with one specific brand of screw.
Please don't. Text/SMS is one protocol we have absolutely no control over. I really wish it remains the least attractive medium for people and companies to use. I wish it stays for the mandatory banks, and other institutes to use it to send us updates of our accounts, and other details.

Emails - I can create filters, mark-as-spam, unsubscribe, or even label them. So, I'm OK being in the spam battle and contribute to the war against spam.

WhatsApp and Other apps - all of them have become the best medium of spam for corporates and everyone, who wants to win quick, fast, and dirty. At-least, I can have some form of sanity that I can block numbers, report, and mark as Spam etc.
Leopards Are Living Among People. and That Could Save the Species
Anecdotal experience: my mom used to teach some adult classes in a UK college and while she loved the work she ultimately left because for every hour of teaching she had to do 4+ hours unpaid work (lesson plans etc) and prepare for endless inspections by people who knew a lot less about teaching than she did (she has 20+ years teaching experience).
I don't think such massive political change must happen overnight. A country needs time to learn to deal with democracy. See what happened to Russia for example. It was only a true democracy for a year or two until Jeltsin's coup.

And the Cuban regime doesn't seem so bad anymore. They have the second-most doctors per capita in the world (the first is one of the rich oil countries, I forget which). Good education too.

I don't know why the US is still sanctioning them so heavily. Other than 'communism bad'. They do seem to be looking after their people. And they haven't been a nuclear threat since the Cuba crisis.

Without the sanctions they'd have a much easier time and could transition to a democracy much more gracefully. Take a 10 year timeframe for example to transition instead of doing this big bang.
I don't see much of the point of doing this with a text editor, but I can imagine some other applications where it'd be useful to dedicate 100% of the system resources to a single application.

Gaming, for example.

I wonder how hard it would be to boot directly to a wine/proton + graphics & I/O drivers + game environment.

Essentially turn a computer into a console.
Hustle would be a possible translation but in my understanding only if your System D involve something illegal or is meant to generate money (eg take the bus without paying to get to your job before getting your first pay).
System D is broader than that.
Sad that an article about crypto detectives makes zero mention of Coffeezilla. That dude is the best detective/investigative journalist in the crypto space right now IMO
I agree but think the only issue here is the use of the word “bribe.” Some places have a culture of paying “grease money” to get things done.

This is common behavior in poor areas with little tourism simply because no formal system for officially visiting exists and people do not earn enough to survive. These small payments are not seen as “bribes” in the western sense.

For example I just visited Guinea in Western Africa. On my first day I visited the Grand Mosque. There was no ticket booth or tour guide. Instead I had to pay “big boss,” a guard who showed us around.

I then went to the botanical gardens, which as it turned out had been turned into a military post. An unofficial tour was offered and of course payment was expected.

At the airport, security staff also asked for money. This was refused.

All of these things happened in plain view. I wouldn’t view it in the same light as paying a bribe, though westerners make no distinction. “Courtesy payment” or “tip” are not correct, either, but probably more accurate than “bribe.”

The latency of iTerm has traditionally been much worse than Terminal.app. It got a bit better with GPU rendering, but it still trails behind Terminal.app quite a bit.

I tried iTerm for a while because Terminal.app does not support true color. But the difference in latency is definitely noticeable to me.
Until we know his password, we can't know for certain. "Fuck the police!2023" fits the description of the password but it's hardly unguessable.

All we know is the authorities gained access to his drive's key. We probably won't find out how they did it until his trial starts.
Hello!

I am the lead developer of LibRapid, a high-performance array and mathematics library with some additional utility functions.

LibRapid's array class is incredibly intuitive to use while simultaneously achieving performance at or above leading libraries such as Eigen and XTensor. The array library has full support for CUDA, with JIT-compiled kernels and support for cuBLAS and cuFFT. The array library integrates seamlessly with the rest of LibRapid's mathematics functionality. Almost all functions are overloaded for primitive types, multi-precision types, vectors and arrays, enabling a single function to operate on the whole LibRapid ecosystem.

LibRapid has a powerful CMake script capable of finding and linking many popular BLAS libraries, such as OpenBLAS and Intel's OneAPI Math Kernel Library, as well as detecting CUDA support and MPIR and MPFR libraries. Furthermore, the script provides many configuration options to fine-tune LibRapid to your system, further increasing the library's performance.

As mentioned earlier, LibRapid also fully supports multi-precision arithmetic using MPIR and MPFR. If you choose to enable multi-precision (via a CMake option), the CMake script will first search for the relevant libraries already on your system. If they cannot be found, LibRapid will use custom, modified versions of MPIR and MPFR.

LibRapid's vector library is also incredibly powerful, supporting SIMD operations, many functions and an intuitive interface.

In the future, we plan to develop a machine-learning library on top of LibRapid's mathematics and array functionality.

Hopefully, this gives you a brief idea of what LibRapid is capable of. If you have any questions or want to try LibRapid out for yourself, have a look at the links below.

Lets spend months replacing a thing that actually currently works with a slightly nicer to read file format with new and exciting bugs?

Use a prettifier plugin in your editor or squint, silly human. Trailing-comma-on-write-annoyance-adjuster, bada-bing, bada-boom. Most of the peeves can be hidden with good tooling. This Ron thing makes sense because of Serde not because it is prettier.

Why would they do an evil maid attack on the Ubuntu laptop, but not at the same time on the Windows one?

And is there any information that they accessed the Ubuntu laptop before he was arrested (to do the evil maid attack)? I see no mention of that.

I think it's much more likely that it was a weak password, maybe even partially shared with other passwords. Maybe police obtained user passwords from other low value targets (online shops, ...), looked at them and noticed a pattern.

> There are even files that had been deleted and emails that had been downloaded with Thunderbird (and then deleted).

This doesn't mean much, unless user didn't know that when you delete a file it's content is not actually scrubbed from storage.
I am not missing anything in life by not participating in a decentralised ponzi. I definitely get your motivation to keep finding new idiots to bring their real money in the game so grifters can unload their magic tokens for real cash.

Pre-iPhone phones, for example Nokia phones with Symbian on it, did allow you to install applications. I remember when I was in middle school with a Nokia N70 exchanging games with Bluetooth with my friends. Who had internet at home (that was only a bunch of people) did download games from forums and then send to everyone else, as well as music and videos. Same for other models of cellphones, they all had some sort of application format.

Then the first Android devices arrived, with the Android Market (long before Google Play) that did allow you to download apps. But most people again maybe they didn't have internet, or more simply wanted pay apps but didn't want to pay for them, just exchanged .apk like it was the norm. (Pirating by the way was much more present than these days, for example I don't recall a single person having a PlayStation without the modchip, and burned PS1/PS2 games where the norm).

It's only with the arrival of the iPhone that this was no longer possible. In fact I recall that the criticism of the first iPhones, till the iPhone 4, was that it was an overpriced device and that it did lack of the possibility to install applications and exchange files with bluetooth, like everyone was used to do. The iPhone was a niche product that was not diffused (when I was at high school I recall maybe 1/2 people having iPhones, all other one Android devices).

The thing on cellphone operators is maybe an US specific thing, I don't recall having anything like that in Europe, more specifically in Italy. Quite frankly till 10 years ago using the cellphone network for internet was unthinkable, because the prices where so high. Then arrived the contract that give you 100Gb of data a month for 10 euros, but back in the day internet was expensive, to the fact that just by pressing the internet button on a phone it did consume all your credit. This is probably also the reason why WhatsApp become so popular (you could chat with your home internet connection that now everyone had without consuming expensive SMS)
It's a monitor. I think they cut off the model number when printing the tag. Old Apple CRTs had model numbers like "APPLE M1212", "APPLE M1787".
Instead of tmux, I personnally use Wez's Terminal (Wezterm: https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/) because it is both a capable terminal and a capable multiplexer and I like to have one less layer to care about.

One thing I personally like very much is that it supports a command line tab and pane navigation/management : https://github.com/cassepipe/dot-git/blob/8b300524021cc74f67...
I spent a few weeks driving the length of Sudan back in early 2019, just before the coup that happened back then.

As I learned all around Africa, government warnings about a county tell you little about the people there - while the government of Sudan at the time was no doubt evil, the people were some of the friendliest and kindest I've met anywhere on the planet.

Not only did locals help my buy bread, they refused to let me pay for it. They invited me into their homes repeatedly, etc. etc.

The currency was in such a free fall I was getting a different rate literally every day. It's one of the countries in the world that is cut-off from global markets, and so regular credit and bank cards do not work. Still, people were smiling, laughing and getting on with life.

Here's some of my footage and experiences: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pqtfwlfDAw
Counter-example: I don't want crappy ElectronJS apps, but I don't have a choice. Discord/Slack don't have an open API that would allow a good third-party client.

If I don't like PWAs but WhatsApp stops supporting anything else, how can I use WhatsApp without the PWA?
Open sourcing is a gift, perhaps it’s a commercial failure of business to return in kind, if anything.
I taught a non-credit course on Novell Networking at a local college back when I was a Certified Netware Engineer.

Will never do that again. 10% of the class picked it up quickly. 80% of the class picked it up. 10% of the class would never understand the material and dragged the rest of the class down asking incessant questions.

The money was a joke and I hated it.
From the point of view of quantum mechanics your body is very 'noisy'.

You only see quantum mechanical effects, like what you see in the double-slit experiment, in essentially undisturbed systems. That's why when you 'measure' which path the photons take, the interference pattern in the double-slit experiment fails to occur. Your body having lots and lots of atoms sloshing around at body temperature is analogues to taking measurements. It 'collapses' the wave function, if you pardon me using terminology from the Copenhagen interpretation.

See https://tsapps.nist.gov/publication/get_pdf.cfm?pub_id=91986... for some background. Or perhaps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_decoherence first as an introduction.

As an aside: (thermal) noise demolishing quantum effects is a big part of why it's so hard to actually build a quantum computer.

What you described might be hallucinations, and so you might want to go to a neurologist or so.
So cringey. Already such an obvious disconnect between the tech-savvy (the salesperson) and the customer. Or maybe this guy is just a bad salesperson (the first one).

Sorry, I phrased that poorly. Actually you already can do whatever you want with it. As long as you’re not breaking other laws, you can do anything you want with your iPhone, including jailbreak it and install your own software.

What people are asking for isn’t the right to do whatever they want with their device—they already have that—they’re asking for the law to force Apple to design their OS in a certain way.

And again, maybe that law is the best idea and should be passed—there are certainly a lot of apparent advantages. But I’d ask people to be honest about what they’re asking for. It’s not granting the user any new freedoms; it’s taking away freedom from manufacturers.

It’s like copyright; most people (or at least a lot of people) consider it a good law that encourages more creative work and supports a healthy industry, but it too is a law that removes freedom rather than grants it.
In the UK most carriers also offer printed QR codes for the eSIM. These can be scanned more than once to activate it. So you can store that somewhere and scan it on another phone.
The "Shameless" series or "The pursuit of Happyness" have strong system D vibes for instance

I really love watching 90s footage from malls, shoppingcenters or just some people walking in the city, it is somehow calming. If anyone knows some good youtubevideos like this from germany instead of the US please let me know.
> you can just download the eSIM

If we disregard the fact that many older but still usable phones don’t support e-sim (which was the original point), what do you mean ”just” download the e-sim?

At least in my country, getting an e-sim is a pretty involved process which requires secure authentication, and specifically in my case that authentication would be gone with the now-broken phone if one didn’t have the foresight to have a backup (which many people do not).

If you have a physical sim, you can move it to almost any (unlocked) mobile phone in existence (at least in Europe) and at most you’ll need the PIN/PUK.

Of course, this goes the other way as well if you drop your phone in the ocean for example, provided you have alternate authentication and a compatible phone, e-sim will have you up and running again much faster.

The Wikipedia page says it was the elimination of sparrows that was a problem.
To be clear you absolutely cannot run Xbox games in a web browser. The service you’re talking about is just streaming video from a remote Xbox to the phone.

You and the OP are both right about fullscreen. There is a web fullscreen API, which Apple does not support. However, PWAs strip out the browser UI so you’re effectively fullscreen. Though you can’t do anything about the status bar, nor can you lock screen orientation.

But more to the original point, none of this has anything to do with security. Apple disallowed a native Xbox streaming app because they demanded a cut of the revenue and MS wasn’t willing to give it.
> turned out to be the main barrier preventing progressive web apps from being viable

Until the issue is fixed and the goal posts are moved once again.

Because PWAs have been available in one form or another for 14 years.

And it's always because that the UX is terrible that makes them not viable not anything Apple has done.
Users don't choose what they use, they use what they must. I can't choose to use Signal if everybody uses WhatsApp. I can't choose a non-ElectronJS Slack client because it doesn't exist.

If PWA is cheaper to make, companies will go there. Whether or not it's better for the users. Companies want to make money, not help users.
Key derivation functions (KDFs) are tools that allow us to improve the entropy derived from the types of passwords people typically use.
25+ years ago, I collected unemployment in Michigan. I was earning around $38k, and was surprised to learn of a cap. I think the unemployment cap was $200/week (or similar). I was telling a family friend that I’d been let go, and needed to file for unemployment.

“Oh that great! You get like 80% of what you were making, but no commute, you can watch tv, it’s great!”

I was panicking because it was something like an effective 60% cut with that cap. I realized at that point how far apart our experiences and work actually were. I started to explain the cap, then realized I’d be tipping my hand as to how much I was earning.

Looking back, he might have just been trying to make light of the situation a bit. I don’t think so, but it’s possible.
They probably both meant directed-acyclic-graph?
Would fluid-structure interaction [1] with encapsulated systems fit the bill? It’s a subset of continuum mechanics which is probably the best field to model the layers of atmosphere as a mix of solid and fluid continuums and oscillatory systems are a defining feature of the field:

> Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) is the interaction of some movable or deformable structure with an internal or surrounding fluid flow. Fluid–structure interactions can be stable or oscillatory. In oscillatory interactions, the strain induced in the solid structure causes it to move such that the source of strain is reduced, and the structure returns to its former state only for the process to repeat.

It's not really a business interest though.
Nice, I was just about to dive into tmux for the first time but I hate too much configuration, will check this out!
newsflash to your newsflash: most „native” apps are lazy wrappers around shitty webviews anyway.
South of SF
Except if mainstream proprietary apps go to PWA. Just like I'm forced to use those damn ElectronJS apps. I wouldn't if I had a choice.
Besides the issues that others have mentioned (typing, storing nested data-structures, pointers), you would add a requirement on the backing OS and file system to enforce Mandatory File Locking.

While Windows enforces it, most Unix systems don't support it at all. Back when Linux had it (removed in 2021), it had to be enabled when a volume was mounted, and that was not default nor was it supported for all file system types.

Without it, even if you mmap() the file with the MAP_PRIVATE flag, portions of the file could be overwritten by other programs before you read them.
The `MERGE` command is implemented as a wrapper around existing SQL commands, calling `CREATE TEMP TABLE`, `UPDATE` and `INSERT` or `DELETE`. The SQL commands issued by `MERGE` seem strange, in that they create and then later read an temporary table, where this work is as far as I can tell wholly unnecessary, and by doing so, `MERGE` is significantly slower than the commands you yourself would issue, where you would not use a temporary table. Additionally, `MERGE` mandates the use of and only of a table for the merge source rows, which is not necessary when issuing an `UPDATE` yourself, as `UPDATE` works also with sub-queries and views.
Thanks. I find your comment insightful.

LLM prompts in fact do seem to be evolving into something about as dry, long-winded, and hard-to-read as legalese.
WhatsApp has become one of the most popular messaging applications in the world, with over 2 billion users globally. Over the years, WhatsApp has added several new features to enhance its user experience. Recently, WhatsApp introduced a new feature called "Voice Status" that allows users to share an audio clip as their status. In this article, we'll discuss this new feature and how to activate it.
This is funny because by far the most impactful breaches of security on iOS phones have been due to the Apple components, like the messaging app that inexplicably is still written in ObjectiveC as it's ever been, or the image framework found to contain various bits of opensource code they never updated, never audited, or the various terrible magic "serialization" features.

This Apple native crud they force every app to use (up to the whole browser engine, like in the IE days!) is truly the ActiveX of our times. Only you can't even get rid of it.
