For the interval reference sheet, why not play the intervals right there? That would be a lot more friendly and convenient than jumping to a youtube video, watching a 30-seconds+ of ads, then listening to 1 or 2 minutes of song just to compare two notes. Also it keeps users on your page and they won't get distracted with your use clickbait videos.
I think part of the problem is due to scientists and philosophers speculating as they do and regular folks taking them at their word. This causes an over-estimation of the abilities of current AI.

Nick Bostrom Says AI Chatbots May Have Some Degree of Sentience: More and more people are saying this.

So how did you get rid of the wax? I was inoculating logs a year ago and the jars are still waiting for clean up.
As a sibling commenter puts out, a uniform deletion "certificate" or other notice that could be used as verification of requests would be useful to ensure that audits would have a corresponding record to use to determine what records should not be present.

Then, data broker keeps a list of such deletion notices.

If any of those notices ends up having data still stored, that's a violation. If any customer presents such a certificate but isn't in the list of such notices on the data broker, that could be a violation.

This way there's an effective, enforceable mechanism. Otherwise, a broker can just lose deletion requests entirely and no one would know.
The recipient of that donation (@fiatjaf) immediately split it 50/50 with the developer of Damus (@jb55). All distributions have been done in public. At last check, fiatjaf has already dispersed 70% of the donation to other people/groups.

fiatjaf has been a prominent developer in the Bitcoin community for many years. Think what you may about crypto bros, fiatjaf is not that. I've had the pleasure of working with him a bit & have been on the receiving end of debates with him. I've always found him to be an upstanding person with deeply rooted ethics, even if I regularly disagree with him. If $240k were enough to sway him to do something he thought was wrong, Bitcoin would've been destroyed already.

I understand where you're coming from, though. If I didn't know the players and hadn't followed along (on nostr) intently throughout, I would likely have the same concerns as you. I still do, to some extent. Though my personal experiences and interactions with these people has helped assuage most of it.

That's the whole point. The executives offer remote + 3 days together, and employees like alistair complain about the 3 days as opposed to the benefit of working from home the rest of the time. So the execs say fuck it, ok just come to the office every day.
Years ago I got FUCKED when I used Authenticator and bought a new phone. I just assumed everything would be backed up to iCloud, like everything else.

> You need to produce much more plants to feed the animal first instead of directly feeding you.

Yes, but in the case of grazing, it's plant material we cannot eat. That's called nutrient recycling because it converts what cannot be processed by humans into something that is.

In grain diets, a lot of it is produced specifically to feed livestock. This probably at least in part due to the significant subsidies on corn in the United States. Ending corn subsidies would probably be beneficial to American diet both in it'd raise the price of meats and increase the price on HFCS and other corn product.

With that being said, agricultural byproduct can be fed to livestock which can help close nutrient loops. Things like stalks, leaves, husks. Also milling byproducts like wheat and rice bran. soybean and canola meal from oil production. Peels and pulp that are produced from production of juice and other fruit products can be used.

There's a lot of ways to shore up inefficiencies in producing livestock and other agriculture that can help make it more sustainable than it currently is.

> So to stay on topic (unlike your "quality") this process uses more fossil fuels.

Quality is part of the topic because the quality of nutrients is the utility that meat offers and it's from that we need to make judgements on whether or not it's worth producing.

My argument is obviously yes, the increased cost in terms of carbon footprint is worthwhile because meat is such a great source of nutrients that naturally aligns with the nutritional needs of humans in a way that is difficult to do with a solely plant-based diet. There's also not wholly understood benefits of meat, probably because it's become the new boogeyman, like fat was made out to be in the 20th century.

Data retention limitations are absolutely a thing in GDPR and previous European laws (ie. Informatique et Libertés).
This is very broad reasoning using analogy and metaphor. It can be useful, but only for broadening your imagination by coming up with scenarios you might not have thought of.

So, maybe AI will/won't have big effects on employment? It's plausible either way, depending on how big you're thinking.
Most automation of physical jobs didn't happen by dropping a robot into the same situation as a human, but by adapting the environment for automation. I think the essay spends too much time positing that since most times robots can't be dropped into existing situations, there is no threat of automation for these industries. That might be true for things that can't be changed rapidly (such as how plumbing works in residential housing built over the last hundred years), but for many things it is reasonable to expect capitalists to shift the environment in which that job is done to allow for scalable automation.

E.g. Grocery store cashiers haven't been replaced by humanoid robots, but they have been significantly offset by computers and scales and by making the customer do the manual steps of scanning and bagging via self-checkout.
I searched for a Kindle book I wanted to read the other night. The results that came up were the book in question, and a book titled “The Book’s Title: eBook”, with exactly the same cover, for 10% of the price.

Furthermore, the jobs not impacted will be squeezed by increased competition from displaced workers driving salary down. We are going to face massive social disruption because of AI, there is no escaping this.
When I was at Mirantis and implementing Openstack for a customer... it was IBM partnered with RedHat and Intel and the absolute ridiculousness of IBM (old) engineers/PMs attempting to translate deployment into their language was nothing short of suicide inducing.

Not clickbait. It documents Twitter's modus operandi, and the irresponsible way it grants it's "verified" status, in some cases even against the user's request.

Irrelevant. The whole point was that Twitter proactively verified a bullshit account.
I've experienced mouse cursor lag on M1 MacBook Air, but for me it only happens after the MacBook has runs out of battery, gone into hibernation mode, then got woken up. (Trackpad) cursor will lag until the next full reboot. Seems to be a different bug, since mine has nothing to do with Bluetooth.
There's no such thing as impartiality. Everything has an editorial line which colours what opinions are allowed.

> When you’re remote, you’re out of sight, out of mind

This simply isn't a state of being. You can be out of sight, and out of mind, if you have a shitty manager or a shitty company culture, in that case, it's probably a blessing to be fired.

> It's a lot easier to lay off someone you've never met and a lot easier to trust someone with responsibilities when they're also someone you can have lunch or drinks with.

If you're at a company that chooses promotions based on a crappy HR pizza party leave immediately. I've never been rewarded at work because I pretended to care about coworkers personal lives beyond courtesy.

What got me promoted was being courteous but also reliably getting shit done. You can do this in the office, remotely, or through some hybrid set up. I've done all three. Do good work, make sure it's visible. It's not complicated.
I goof off a lot more working from home through the day, but at the same time I get more done at night and on weekends. The best part about working from home is that I don't have to sit in front of a screen from 9-5 from Mon-Fri, I can sit down anytime I get the motivation to do so and get my work done. I guarantee that if I were in an office, I would have been burnt out and quit my job by now, but instead I'm able to just not work much for several days if it doesn't suit me, then finish up my work in a 20-hour blast on a Saturday. What's it matter to my boss or company when I get work done as long as it is complete prior to the due date? Probably those managers that hate "goofing off" don't realize that's not the same as not doing your work. When I was in the Navy, my sailors would goof off all the damn time, but I let them because telling sailors not to goof off goes against their nature! They still got the work done.
I’ve been mentoring and TLing junior employees remotely and it matches your experience. Self starters are fine, people who are not self starters or need lots of help are not doing well.

That first group is able to (IMO) progress just as well as they would in-office because they know when to reach out for help, fix things on their own without help, etc.

The second group may or may not be better served by in-office work. In some cases there are language barriers that make things challenging and I expect more in-office communication would reduce these. But I think a much bigger help would be for these people to be able to watch more experienced employees work and operate (both in terms of learning specific tools/processes for doing things, and the soft skills like when those other workers reach out for help, how they do so). Both of these assume they want to do better though; I don’t think WFO would help truly disengaged juniors.

So basically, I completely agree with you and I think the distinction is important. FWIW, I think people who progress in their career and become valuable employees quickly tend to almost always fall in the first group anyway.
That's nested virtualization and it's completely unrelated.
Not just promotions, but jobs. After my second job, every job I've ever had I got because I knew someone who liked working with me and could vouch for my ability. I've never taken a coding test as part of a job interview. I did have to take one on the job once when a new manager came in. I left that job fairly soon after, as I found the whole process and attitude around it to be insulting.
This is why every company should adopt hybrid. Its just totally unfair on young professionals starting out/
> What am I missing?

The fact that this is not how security on iPhones works at all.

There are unencrypted partitions of the storage yes, which means the device can boot into iOS without any user password, but the ones containing user data are encrypted and an OS update can at best remove the limit on how fast or how many times you can attempt to unlock the user data (or rather the Secure Enclave which stores the actual key for the user data).

Sure, if you have a 4-6 digit PIN code this is then quickly unlocked in that scenario you're talking about, but if you have an alphanumeric password you can make that attack completely infeasible.

Bottom line is there is no way for Apple to make a version of iOS that completely bypasses encryption, encryption doesn't work like that.

They could, I guess, make a version which silently checks if it's host devices serial number is in a certain list provided by e.g. law enforcement, and then silently removes the SEP encryption, IF the user unlocks the device AFTER that software is installed. But they would have to secretly add this code to the normal iOS releases which would severely compromise their customers data en masse if they did it this way, or create a way to push a specific build over the air to a specific device (which actually doesn't sound that far-fetched honestly, now that I'm thinking about it), without alerting the user that they are installing a backdoor for law enforcement.

I don't think that's feasible either way, because it would quickly come out that they've done that and once the cat's out of the bag they are losing big bucks, and would be criminals will simply stop installing updates on their iPhones.

Amazon's marketplace can value add by directing component purchases to system builder to iron out the wrinkles of device driver compatibility for build completion on choice os, for example, Dragonfly or NetBSD or Plan9 or Linux. These system builders advertise on YT.
I am working on a similar tool started from a filmmaking need to source-control large binary files.

The current (semi-implemented) design is that each file or collection of files can be assigned a step in a pipeline and version controlled separately, and steps can be defined as dependencies of one another.

This makes it possible to add "compute" steps that do not track any file but instead run a task, achieving a similar goal.
> What these politicians do not seem to underestand is that those law may turn against them at a later point in time.

Those laws are incredibly unlikely to be turned against elites and former elites, and if a situation[1] ever arose where they would be, a lack of these laws on the books would not save them.

Populist uprisings are about the only things that elites are scared of, and these kinds of laws help prevent them[2].

[1] That kind of situation would require a complete and utter breakdown of the elite social contract. Things would have to get unrecognizably bad before we are at that point.

[2] Ever notice how, say, pro-gun politicians tend to want guns to be everywhere except near them? As a class, they aren't interested in dealing with the consequences of their policies.
I like Tailwind, but I like it precisely as a non-frontend person working on side projects: it lets me iterate quickly without a deep knowledge of CSS (while at the same time providing an introduction to modern CSS).

I can see how that would also be a benefit to a "SAAS starter pack" where you have a small team wearing many hats, probably people with a familiarity with CSS but not experts. The code base in these early stage startups and side projects is going to be small and you want to move quickly. Tailwind is great at that.

However if you have a frontend team of CSS experts to draw upon, the benefits of Tailwind are fewer and the downsides are greater - your CSS people will not enjoy having your classes named things like "px-2 py-1 rounded border bg-blue-800 text-white font-bold hover:bg-blue-500" rather than just "btn btn-primary". They can iterate fast anyway and they will probably leave more maintainable HTML and CSS/SCSS in the long run.

However I'd still be interested if any large teams (with correspondingly large code bases) have made Tailwind work for them.
Yeah, looks like a clear win there. The market wonkiness over the past few years doesn't help my scenario - for $14k (upfront, minus whatever I could sell the old car for) I could go from a 2011 Ford Fiesta to a 2011 Leaf with comparable mileage. Due to said market wonkiness the Fiesta hasn't depreciated much, but since it wasn't worth much to start, those savings are limited.

FWIW my real numbers on the Fiesta over the past decade have worked out to 9¢/km depreciation, 6¢/km in ICE-specific maintenance, 9¢/km in non-ICE-specific maintenance and 7¢/km in fuel.

My home electric costs would run around 3.5¢/km for the Leaf, so I'd only be saving 3.5¢/km (or $350/year) in fuel. (And I'm locked in to a 5-year electricity contract at a pretty low rate for the area. If I had to re-sign today, my electric costs for a Leaf would be around 5¢/km.)
Been following Matt Venn of zero to asic for a while. Hes got a great youtube channel as well. Looking forwards for when they can support designs a couple order of magnitudes larger.

That’s not what I understood from the article. They gave several reasons and the first one was the same as yours:

Nice! I was able to do just that, with a solution like the one you wrote, except I'm grepping a local (instead of remote) log, and changing the status bar color based on log output.

So, no one in your company lives in a city far away from the office? If so, how do they handle it? Imagine having to drive 6h to get from home to the office. Suddenly, your 3-days/month become 4-days/month plus accommodation.
I'm not saying that systems are not in place, I'm just saying that it's too hard for the average consumer.

- After you've requested deletion the company has 30 days to "respond" but they can extend that with two additional months.
- They can go to extreme lengths to verify the identity of the user which they have the right to do so and if you don't respond to the confirmation they are not obligated to delete anything.

I've encountered both practices in the past (and I've only made 3 requests, ever).

The dream would have been an automated way to do it, something like a government service where each company would have to publish metadata about captured user data and once you request deletion through the service the company would receive an event, a webhook call...
I wouldn't however consider that enough evidence to say Democrats "opposed" the Patriot Act. They aren't "Both sides the same", but on this issue, Democrat politicians largely buy into the law enforcement POV that "bad people" are doing things and there must be an easy way to stop them, instead of making cops do actual work to solve crimes.
They could create a build with unlock attempts removed, making it possible to brute-force weaker unlock schemes. That's what they didn't want to do because if they created something like that they would lose a lot of customers.
Unless you know the category or have a trusted brand, Amazon has become absolutely junk. Search for something where you likely won't know any trusted brands (such as car covers) and you'll get 200 results with exactly the same picture but random brand names.

All of it is imported crap from Alibaba, of course, and Amazon sellers won't even bother customizing the images.

The degradation in quality has been astonishing.
