I like Angular and I think it's still a solid choice for new apps in an enterprise setting, and signals are a welcome addition that solve real problems, but I don't understand the hype. Signals are as old as JavaScript if not older. The diamond problem and sync propagation are not new problems. We've come full circle. Old problems become new problems but with the same solutions. What did we gain with all of these iterations if we landed back on what was essentially the Knockout model of 2010?

I'm reminded of papers such as "Deprecating the Observer Pattern (2010) [1]" which documented solutions to these problems a long time ago.

It probably wouldn't work, because social media is voluntary. People can just reduce participation, or just leave, and find alternative ways to get whatever value they were getting from the social media site. Users stay because it's fun, or because their friends are staying (network effect); your proposed interventions would both frustrate the users and weaken or destroy the "glue" that keeps them coming back.

In contrast, those natural social networks of yore - tribes, villages - were all-encompassing, and you were stuck with them. The modern social networks that are strong - school, university, work - also have this strong "like it or not, I'm stuck here with this people" component. Sure, it's easier to change a job than a tribe, but it's still costly.

The actual facts don't match your rosey summary.

Haiti has faced 4 straight years of a shrinking economy and the GDP per capita is at one of it's lowest points in the last 60 years.

Yes, many people have been lifted out of poverty but it has happened alongside increasing inequality and there have been some very notable failures and Haiti is one of them.

Apple pays a premium to TSMC to reserve the early runs on the next gen nodes. They can do this because they can charge their users a premium for Apple devices. I am not sure the rest of the players have that much pricing power or margins.
So can a large FPGA be somehow used to brute force encryption?

I don't really understand electronics to see if a GPU could be faster than a FPGA, but my guess is yes?

It seems that anything that can be programmed is inherently slower than a FPGA equivalent doing the same task.

Does larger enough key size always defeat a FPGA?

I would guess that it becomes power and cost prohibitive for a private company to deliver such possibility, but of course, a large government entity like the NSA might have enough resource to pay for enough FPGA to decrypt most things.

Lyft’s new CEO tackles a job requiring some heavy lifting
Yes, all the contractor (who inserted the code) would have to do is demonstrate the contract terms they agreed to were for time limited code.

But given the correct thing to do in that case is to wait for the time limit to roll over and then sue them for violating the copyright (10-100k * per device?), doing it this way:

* (from another thread) The time gate was hidden in a separate, known (and so not re-reviewed, for better or worse) driver, not the thing the contractor presumably work on? Also, that would open you to "they removed the contractor's code but the contractor's bricking code was still present", which would seem independently a Bad Thing

* The article states a specific date was chosen (middle of a long weekend) which makes it seem malicious rather than "license enforcement", but again, if that's not just the result of pasting in the contract termination date + <reasonable math> (which they can point to if this is legit) in which case it's just questionable decision making.

If the contractor responsible is talking publicly about what they did, then they shouldn't have a problem showing that they were paid to .. install? .. the software they were licensing, rather than writing the code as the job they were paid for while employed as a contracted engineer.

I suspect this will at least improve their policies for code reviews (and their sourcing and source checks for large third party libraries).
I doubt they try to ban them, but I could absolutely see them push an age verification requirement for "personal" VPNs that allow you to get an out-of-state IP address since it "illegally circumvents state laws". So you can have a VPN, but if you are in Utah the exit node must also be in Utah. Corporate VPNs wouldn't be a problem legally because they already verify your identify for state tax purposes so there's nothing more for corporate to do.

Bonus: while your every access to porn is being logged for the state, they can log your VPN use too just in case there is anything relevant for law enforcement to care about.
Not to diminish the super-coolness of modern FOSS for Classic Macs, but as a fun historical fact the Mac OS X Dock was itself inspired by a Classic Mac application called DragThing.

https://www.dragthing.com/english/tenyears.html sez “The reason there wasn't much DragThing development between 1998 and 2000 is because I was then part of the team working in secret on the Finder and Mac OS X Dock at Apple. I felt then that the Dock would ultimately replace DragThing. However, for a variety of reasons, I left Apple shortly after Aqua and the Dock were announced in January 2000, and very little of my code survives in the current Dock.”

The idea of libraries may not have been a good one. It saved human time but no library is perfect because no abstraction is perfect and this causes unnecessary bloat. It seems tha Nature does not use libraries, it uses replication instead, and we can now have that too.
Yeah, I mean I think "proof of work" crypto is an easy target for an entirely appropriate reason; it's perfectly wasteful, even beyond eg ridiculous Christmas lights.

And now that crypto has better "work functions" e.g. "proof-of-stake," there's just no reason to not tax this.

The original context of the discussion was altering consciousness under the influence of psychedelics. The phenomenon of apophenia is well known in that context and has some unfortunate side effects that overlap with other communities, such as the conspirituality subculture, all of which make use of an almost institutionalized form of apophenia that is accepted as valid by their adherents. More interestingly, this kind of imagery is often used as a social glue to keep the community in sync. The most simple and basic example is the use of imagery such as tie-dye by people in the psychedelic community. The colors and patterns themselves are highly reminiscent of a drug-induced hallucination. The images of colorful, random bits of noise produced by tie-dye designs promote a kind of basic apophenia at the most sensory level which allow the members of the subgroup to engage in apophenic flights of fancy at will by using their eyes. This can evolve into more elaborate forms that go beyond the sensory system, like the kind of all encompassing, conceptual conspiracy theories that are common to more religious and spiritual subsets of related communities. These intellectual flights of fancy are similar to tie-dye designs that facilitate apophenia. Fundamentalist Christians and QAnon adherents, as only two examples, also make great use of this, in their search for signs and symbols that emerge out of the random chaos of everyday experience. This kind of patternicity-seeking is common to these communities, and many of their shared values and beliefs come out of their use of apophenia to create and augment their experience of new or altered realities that align with the values of the group. In a very real way, this is a form of alternate reality role playing, the only problem being that for many of them, they see it as real. This is where the disconnect emerges post-experience. In an attempt to recapture the magic of the altered state, many of them will forget about the mundane nature of noise and how patterns will emerge from random chaos just about anywhere, and attribute real, concrete information where none in fact exists. This is the problem.

Well fwiw, working with GPT 4 it often suggests which libraries to use assuming the question allows for it, so it's not like everyone's writing everything from scratch.

But libraries and especially frameworks as they are these days are also a giant liability more often than not. APIs change for no reason, they can be removed from the package manager at any moment without warning, people may slip malicious code into them past LGTM reviews, have recursive dependencies upon dependencies that bloat and slow down your build process, etc.

Sometimes you don't need the to install the entire damn car manufacturing plant and dealership it comes with just to get that one wheel you needed. And an LLM can just write you the code for a very nicely customized wheel in a few seconds anyway.
It really sounds like you don’t have any need for a framework and so of course it doesn’t seem like you need it.
Between Stockholm syndrome, sunk-cost fallacy, and the psychological inertia of arguing repeatedly on the Internet in the 2000's that it was more 1337 than the Macintosh, it's hard to tell what "willing" even means in that context.

Raising rates is a very poor instrument for fixing supply-driven inflation. Even if it forces suppliers to temporarily lower their prices, as soon as rates are lowered again and economic activity picks back up and demand returns, inflation will return with a vengeance too. Destroying demand does nothing to fix the supply chain problems behind current inflation (which you already mentioned: war, energy, deglobalisation, china lockdowns etc). It’s a pointless, painful exercise and it’s probably being done by the fed only to maintain the appearance of fulfilling their expected role. The truth is the fed is powerless and cannot fix the problem.
Even though the FPGA fabric might encode the solution more effectively, there are other important differentiators: clock speed and memory bandwidth. GPUs have higher clock speeds and typically better memory bandwidth (related of course).

With the higher clock speed, GPUs can well outperform FPGAs for many problems.

Feel free to check my math, but Waymo's 2 accidents in 1,000,000 driverless miles (https://blog.waymo.com/2023/02/first-million-rider-only-mile...) is higher than the rate for human drivers in any of the years from my quick NHTSA stats search.

They've had no fatalities, which is great (and certainly better than other "self-driving" car options)! But it's hard to make really good comparisons as long as Waymo is off by a factor of millions of miles.

There's definitely a tension in my mind between the idea that prompts, which on their own could attract some level of copyright[1], do not produce copyrightable elements in the output and the plaintiffs' claims in the copyright lawsuits against LLM companies that training inputs do.

> Want to do the supremely simple task of importing a JSON file?

Surely you realize that "importing JSON" is not something every project or page needs. By "all or nothing thinking" I mean the idea, which you expand in this response, that unless it supports everything it's not worth ever using. But that's a false dichotomy. A lot of projects are simple. A lot don't need all of these advanced bundler features. Those projects can (and do) use bare ESM in the browser. And that's ok.

To answer your question more directly, the reason they do it this way is because bundling dozens of features into a spec and then releasing them all at once has never worked in the history of web standards. For better or worse, doing one small thing at a time is what works.

You are mistaken. Just like everyone else who has ever repeated the myth that Apple puts large-scale, high-performance logic and high density DRAM on the same die, which is impossible.

I should have used a more precise term than "uncapped". The comment I was responding to used the term "once". I was saying that in most recent vaccine history, the term "twice" was used, then "three times", then "four times", then "up to date". Uncapped was a gross exaggeration. I should instead said that there "once" could not be taken seriously and the range should be "1 to a handful of times", which is a significant factor increase of at least 2x.

But anyway, in my dataset of about 1,000 acquaintances, the only one under 50 hospitalized related to Covid was a friend who was a 38 year mother of 2, in top shape, who had a heart attack within a month after her second dose, and to this day is still recovering. I do not think these vaccines are that dangerous—I would say they probably cause as much harm as one night of heavy binge drinking—but I saw zero evidence of any benefit, and yes I saw one very bad case of severe life threatening side effect.

What's "access by request"?

> Passphrases are significantly harder for e.g. Greykey to glitch brute force than PINs.

PINs are their own thing, i.e. neither passwords nor passphrases. They form a hierarchy:

Passphrases: High (enough) entropy; can be stretched into an encryption key using a PBKDF.

Passwords: Medium entropy; long enough to be somewhat brute-force resistant in case of a database breach. Can't really be used to encrypt data by themselves.

PINs: Very low entropy, must be part of a larger, trusted system that can reliably enforce limits on invalid PIN attempts. Practically, this means tamper-resistant hardware, e.g. a HSM, TPM, smartcard, Yubikey...
> the phone will still have the private key and can still do the login

One of the main gripes people have is about whether or not the user actually has access to the key or not.

ie. Can I save my passkey somewhere that I control, can I login on another device, etc. etc. Or do I need google's sync/account to do that for me.
My understanding of passkeys was that they replace passwords, but a few places where I’ve seen them implemented just use passkeys as a second factor, NOT a replacement for passwords themselves.

Can anyone who knows more about passkeys explain why this is the case? Are service providers just misusing passkeys as the second factor, or do I misunderstand passkeys?

It'd have to be a pretty big object, I think. Your reasoning alone is not enough for me to consider it not-weird. If there was evidence that there was a windstorm in the area at the time and/or that a big piece of sheet metal fell in some field, that would probably be enough to make it less-weird.

There are obvious benefits to having the granularity of loading and caching script files match the granularity of how those files are used on different pages or updated at different times.

Bundling everything is fine for most apps, but sometimes you have a need for code splitting, or sharing libraries between scripts from different origins, or some mix of preloading and dynamic loading. So it is nice to have a standard for these things.
