iCloud user data that’s not end-to-end encrypted: name, home address, work address, who you talk to and when, where you go and when, what you buy and when…

iCloud user data that’s not end-to-end encrypted unless you find and change multiple different settings that few people know about: files, photos, notes, texts, full copies of laptop’s and phone’s storage…

I’d take a bet that 99% of the time Apple or a local regime wants to read iCloud user data, they can.
People who are starving won't even get asked to be an engineer of record for the kind of project we're talking about. Do you think companies that build bridges go down to the local 7-Eleven and ask for structural engineers willing to sign off on the documents?

In regards to your specific examples, I'm very happy you personally derived value from this influencer/streamer's videos, but I kind of see that as part of the problem - a good male role model shouldn't just be a twitch streamer. Sure, if his content is helping people, promote it (I personally didn't see the value from what little content of theirs that I have watched, but you do you), but maybe your idea of a good role model is different than mine.

In regards to Jordan Peterson, he's just a specific example - but he was (I don't think he is anymore) very influential in this debate for a period of time and I just didn't think the conversation would be complete without bringing him up. What you wrote in your last paragraph is common: "He didn't want to use pronouns, therefore I will dismiss anything and everything he ever wrote/said". (Nevermind that the whole issue was the Canadian government forcing its professors to conform to a specific ideology if they wanted to keep their jobs - in Canada, almost all education is government-run).

> threat of punishment stops all

Threat of having your life and career absolutely ruined pretty much does, yes. The key is that the threat has to be believed. For things like signing off as an engineer of record on a project, yes, the threat is believable. For being an investment banker who cooks the books, the threat of being punished might not be so believable, no, particularly if the bank can be portrayed as "too big to fail". But that's not the kind of project we're talking about here.
After looking at that form, nah.

This assumes that 100% of iPhone and iPad customers understand the totality of the consequences of buying Apple's hardware.

Most people do not understand the intricacies of the iOS and App Store app distribution model, and most people do not buy Apple hardware because of it.

Wind is the main one.

tl;dr: YES. Mostly. A few varieties are alright or maybe even good with boiling water. Houjicha is one that you're fairly likely to encounter (the kinda-roasty / toasted tasting tea you get in many restaurants).

Hmmm, we tend to use LXC (similar to Docker) to partition dedicated servers into smaller pieces. eg database server, app servers, etc.

It's fairly likely the high cache cores would be good for PostgreSQL, while the standard cores would be good for general application servers.

I'd be trying these out if we needed new dedicated servers atm. And might do so depending on how things go over time. :)

Are we talking about the Sandmann settlement here? Because as far as I know, we have no clue what “huge” might entail in that case. Whatever it was, I’m quite confident it doesn’t belong in the same descriptive bucket as $787 million.

I don't disagree about the addiction in regards to Peterson, but I do think, in part, the social pressure eventually got to him. Either way, I don't consider him as important a voice in this space as he used to be.

To your other point, I was thinking in the context of modern Liberal/Western democracies, which have similar issues on those KPIs. Certainly, Asian and certain European countries have far different issues than the ones in North America, which is the context I was focusing on (and which the original article focused on). In any case, I don't necessarily think solutions that work in the Netherlands (a country of ~17 million people) will work across the entire US, especially when the cultures are so different. Either way. it's hard to dispute that there are many positive male role models for young men today, and the issues only get worse from there.
A lot of people won't fully fuel up their 172 so they can bring more weight, either baggage or passengers. I don't think anyone would fly 6.5 hours in one either, but 2+ is normal for non-training flights.
Yes, sir.

But there’s a kernel of an interesting idea in there. Imagine a world where all apps used by everyone were as user oriented as Emacs. Impossible, fantasy, utopian, never, and I agree. But a way to contextualize how much we’ve given up.
Yeah thanks for filling in the gap, this is indeed very true. It’s also known as the Steve Jobs complex, and is a common yet medically serious self-delusion plaguing many of our poor tech billionaires today.

I think that whole journey is gravely misrepresented and narrativized. Much because Jobs died on such a high note. And also because people like the blackberry -> iPhone story more than they like the iPod -> iPhone story.

Also, Zuckerberg is desperately craving an ecosystem because he wants a land to rule, not because he’s a nit picky design fascist like Jobs. I think the App Store as a business success was much more a lucky side effect than people post-rationalize.

> All of these arguments seem to think that the brain isn’t also generating a statistical ordering of semantic words and actions.

There may be a part of the brain that is modelled well by an LLM, but if so, there seem to also be parts that aren’t, or even existing “multimodal” models like GPT-4, which is more than an LLM.

Humans, including their brains (both in the narrow sense and in the broader sense of “everything that contributes to cognition”, which may extend beyond the brain proper) are machines, and their function probably will, someday, be mimicked by machines. But they are still more complex machines that modern “AI” systems
Apparently the exact language was “certain aspects of traditional masculinity” as “ a particular constellation of standards that have held sway over large segments of the population, including: anti-femininity, achievement, eschewal of the appearance of weakness, and adventure, risk, and violence.”

And yeah I can see where certain aspects of this suck. Anti-femininity is, to me, not very masculine. Masculinity is to stand on its own without being against the other sex. Eschewal against appearance of weakness is also to me not masculine. Humbleness is confidence. Papering over your flaws is super insecure, not confident, and pretty not masculine.

I think you made this model of masculinity and then eschewed happy, whole men who don’t fit in that box. Healthygamer is a man, who is happily heterosexually married, who is dedicating his life to uplifting his fellow men. I think that’s a win for all men. Jordan Peterson frankly strikes me as kind of miserable in comparison. Healthygamer doesn’t go on long tweet tirades about pronouns and genders. He just focused on the mission, which is addressing men’s issues.

In the US, "they" is a pretty common singular, non-gendered pronoun. I could see either "they" or "it" being used, depending on sentence structure, but not necessarily due to plurality or countability.
Lets not forget, USA became such a superpower with huge help of World War 2. With operation Tizzard. UK was basically cornered with risk of getting overrun by the Axis so they send all their scientific knowledge to the USA less they fall in the wrong hands. This opened up US to all the foundational knowledge it needed to win the war on be one of the few countries not totally reeling after the war to continue progress.
The reasons Vitess didn't have foreign key support historically actually weren't a bold performance tradeoff or anything like that. It was more of a classic, boring, backlog prioritization thing: everyone heavily using Vitess was using gh-ost for schema changes, and gh-ost didn't support foreign keys.

Now that Vitess has native schema change tools it's more reasonable to revisit user-friendly, out-of-the-box foreign key support.
It’s not directly related to SLSA, although SLSA is an adjacent effort to improve package security!

I think provenance would be misleading in this context, since it’s mostly a side effect of the intended behavior (i.e., publishing without needing to manually configure a shared credential).
Used to dual boot, but with the combo of steam/proton and VFIO passthrough + looking glass, it’s been really solid to just run both at the same time. File sharing between the two is pretty easy in that case, because it’s just the usual rsync/scp tools or SMB share.

Although, I’ve found I very rarely need the guest for gaming anymore, more so for opening the odd Photoshop file and similar tasks.
Remember you are not an AI. You are a human, so it takes you significantly more time to read a response and produce another query. 25 messages every 3 hours is a lot when you're doing what parent described. When I'm programming, I also do other things too. 3 hours goes by fast.

"Utah-based digital marketing company" declares "We hate dogs" as publically as they could manage. Difficult to believe really. Someone running a marketing company hasn't clocked that how they present their firm affects their success in the market. Further, they think "I don't really get this marketing thing" is a good thing to shout to the internet. Shouldn't be survivable.
That basically boils down to "nu uh".

You didn't explain why iterating through something is somehow a different concept than iterating through anything else. In C++ you could define an iterator and it would just decide what the next element is for you then decide when the iteration is done. Whatever is going on underneath doesn't matter and coming up with a different term is completely unnecessary.

You actually most likely can't afford the risk of running a contaminated fab.

Or even continuing the idea further, we might say that capitalism is itself already a form of highly sophisticated artificial intelligence that we’ve created, as a abstract autonomous entity with its only purpose being the accumulation of Capital. As a transnational entity it has no bounds and controls billions of human agents, and shapes the Earth to its will, changing ecosystems and climates. It is to be questioned if humans have lost control of this AI, and now controls the course of humanity itself.

Many years ago, I used to love using a journaling app called Heyday. That was until the creator closed up shop without notice and suddenly every user lost all of their data. Even paying ones.[1] There was no way for users to export their data either. I tried building an app to match that functionality + add a lot of the features that are mentioned in the article in Apple’s offering. However, it wasn’t possible due to a lot of the restrictions in iOS.

Seeing Apple implement this has me torn between a feeling of unfairness and excitement. Like why wasn’t I allowed to do this myself? But now that it’s here, do I use it? It has everything I wanted and it’s highly unlikely for Apple to shut down the app and burn their users.

I suppose it's a bit of a scotsman argument, but the turing test is to see whether an observer can correctly guess whether the interlocutor is _human_, so by definition the test would pass if the other correspondent was human.

To the point underneath, humans do not answer in as predictable a way as ChatGPT. Your answer, for example, I am confident does not come from ChatGPT.

Nuance is always important. Too much regulation is bad. There’s also very high costs for too little regulation (scammers, charlatans, the incompetent, etc.)

Curious, any concrete examples? I can't really think of any where one instance is okay but many is not. I can think of examples where one instance is ignored and many instances are harder to ignore (and so is prosecuted), but overall - I can't really think of anything that is okay to do once but not many times.

> "IT PROTECTS THE CHILDREN!" they'll scream, while using it to take more power away from society and concentrate it into their own hands.

I don't think you're wrong in predicting this, and I actually think you're proven correct by precedent already. The answer to this is many and varied, but one core concept that should always be kept in mind is, much like "with great power comes great responsibility":

With great claims comes great burden of proof

What statistics are you trying to improve, and have you got a baseline you can share with us that can be used in 1 year, 2 years, 5 years to prove the effectiveness of this legislation in "protecting the children"? What's your time frame after which, if no measurable improvement to these statistics has been made, then the legislation will be declared a failure and repealed?

(This is, of course living in some kind of utopian thought experiment, and society just doesn't have the memory to allow such holding the decisions of the powerful to account, but it was therapeutic to write, and it's a worthy goal for long term pursuit).
I think describing newsql databases as "just" hidden sharding is underselling them substantially. The hard part is in the details of distributed transactions and consistency, among other things.

Pretending that major economies are going to pay back their debt in anything close to money with similar purchasing power is also fiction.

One nice thing I found today is that ScyllaDB has a pretty nice JSON feature, they let you insert and select directly via json strings. I can't do that in MySQL which is annoying, I could do something equivalent in Postgres. One of my biggest complaints about SQL in general is the datatype mapping / serialization and if I can simply use a json library in my language of choice then I save on a lot of work.
https://www.scylladb.com/2019/01/10/json-support-in-scylla/

But you are right about how important it is to have a simple deployment, it's true for all of the databases. Sure there is docker but that usually has its own problems, like with scylla where it wouldn't properly forward ports for whatever reason so I could never connect to it. Then I had to do all kinds of manual fixes and install it on a VM to edit configs to make it run. This is really the stuff that makes you want to use crdb and be done with it all, even though it's slower and eventually requires payment.
