I’m not disputing that society as a whole may win - but the gains are not equally distributed. Look at all the gig economy jobs that are thriving because the other jobs are even more exploitative. Look at the Amazon warehouse workers and delivery drivers that pee in bottles and shit in bags. Are they profiting? They’re clearly not. They may be able to buy a bigger phone or a larger tv, but in the end, they’re often worse off than what a worker at ford or gm had on the factory floor.
> There was a time I was mostly doing fixed-price work, nobody would have accepted points in a quote and nobody would pay me per point.

I've done that too and fixed-price work is like handling dynamite. I've always felt it was good for new grads to spend a couple years in small, eat-what-you-kill, consulting shops to understand the business of software development better. After that, then go to megacorp/faang or whatever but the lessons learned in a small consultancy will help you see the forest through the trees.
Don’t you think that web3 would also end up centralized?
The underlying technology might be decentralized but the ownership is not. For web2 we have more or less working mechanisms like antitrust offices, on the blockchain we do not. In a proof of stacks scenario we would have the power distributed in a plutocratic fashion without mechanism for the many to counter balance the mighty few.
>a linguistic sleight of hand masking a plain old dualistic standpoint.

These terms are getting at something central to consciousness, the fact that there is a conceptual duality between how we conceive of it from the first-person and how we conceive of it from an objective standpoint. We can't disavow this conceptual duality, a theorist offering an explanation of consciousness that doesn't capture this dual nature of the phenomenon will be rightly considered eliminating the explananda.

But a conceptual duality does not imply an ontological duality. In other words, the fact that we conceive of consciousness in these seemingly opposing ways does not imply two separate phenomena. The term dualism has become a shibboleth to be avoided in serious philosophy of mind, but this is a mistake. A satisfying explanation of consciousness must offer some phenomena that carries a resemblance to our personal datum as experiencers of sensations. This must then be related to the scientific story of how electrical signals are transformed into behavior. This just is the problem of consciousness. Anything less misses the point.

>For one, the "something" in the 2nd formulation [...] is most readily interpreted as an object, closing the door to any process-like interpretation of consciousness.

I agree that the language we use in describing consciousness is unfortunate and has done real damage to what we consider as promising avenues for investigation. We are cognitively biased towards conceptualizing the world in terms of "things" and so we expect our explanations to also be in terms of things. When consciousness isn't found in thing-ness we are tempted to posit a new kind of thing that carries the conscious properties. But we've been lead off course by our initial conceptualization. I'm in favor of seeing objects as processes rather than discrete units. Consciousness is likely in the active dynamics rather than any static property.

>I can easily imagine a complete physicalist explanation of consciousness which would still not lead to a valid answer of "what is it like to be a bat" due to quite obvious limitations of language or the plain invalidity of the question.

Yeah, we will never know "what its like" to experience the existence of another living creature. But this is just a limitation of physical descriptions. This isn't a demerit of physicalism or materialism as a methodology. This is no reason to turn to alternative methodologies that can only hope to offer pseudo-explanations of consciousness at best.

Lehman had no FDIC-insured accounts. So it shouldn't be included in a list of failures managed by the FDIC, because it wasn't.

The liquidation of Lehman was handled by the Treasury department (and a bankruptcy court), not the FDIC, and Congressional involvement was necessary to pass a bill to finance the resulting "bailout". The FDIC maintains its own fund to pay back depositors.

It might sound like a pointless technicality, but it's really not. It would be like asking why an NHSTA report doesn't include plane crashes.

Sure, I already do that, but why shouldn't there be a choice in on-device passkey implementations just like there is for password and HOTP/TOTP authenticators?

Your argument sounds a bit like "Don't like Safari? Just use a different OS then" in the context of allowing browser choice on iOS. There is no technical reason a Passkey provider and OS/platform should be necessarily bundled.

It would encourage competition in both functionality and security, it reduces reliance on a single account your entire digital life, it allows niche products to address special requirements in all kinds of scenarios...

By 1988 Theo Gray also in Urbana-Champaign, had build the notebook interface for Mathematica's release that summer, which is nowadays cloned as originally iPython Notebooks then generalized as Jupyter for various languages.

This is still popular in the Mathematica version as well, and can do many things HTML browsers demonstrated years later.

That would wouldn't change a thing even it happens. No one except Microsoft is going to be expert on 50 million lines of windows code and contribute meaningfully to it. Add to that contributor's licensing agreement, community behavior, sheer capacity to make API changes and get it accepted. It will be impossible to create alternate certified Windows distribution even if all source code was available.

It's not a proprietary development. The intention to use private keys for authentication goes all the way back to the KEYGEN tag in HTML. WebAuthn started from FIDO, not Google, and FIDO Alliance was started in 2012 by PayPal, Lenovo, and others, not Google, Apple, etc. Google joined in 2013, and they were mostly interested in 2FA at that point. And prior to that, when I worked at IBM TJ Watson in the 90s on some of the first TPMs, we were developing passkey equivalents using public key crypto for login and digital signatures on ThinkPads and RS/6000 workstations.

This work, desire to use public key crypto for authentication, goes back A LONG time practically before the internet was taken over by corporations.

This is a good thing for the public. Passwords suck. The number of people who have been pwn3d and phished due to passwords is insane, they're user hostile in so many ways "It would be a totally different situation if customers were actually interested in a particular solution", are customers actually interested in constantly logging in with password and SMS codes -- the default today. Does anyone love using authenticators, or Apple 2FA popups, security keys?
That's honestly not true at all; it all just depends on your platform. On the Pocket, the FPGA _is_ the processor (there are actually two FPGAs, one for the actual emulation core, and one for scaling video, and there's technically a PIC microcontroller for uploading bitstreams and managing UI). The FPGAs are still not much power compared to the display itself. With the in-built current sensor on the dev kits, the highest we've measured drawn by the main FPGA is ~300mAh. Now this sensor isn't going to be the best measurement, but it's something to go off of.
It's kind of crazy to me that we all lived through that and most people still don't understand why it happened. Like you said, many all working from home more, so demand for TP went up. Suddenly shelves are empty more and the news starts talking about a TP shortage, so next time you're at the store and see TP in stock you buy a case even if you don't need it yet. Actually who knows when it'll be in stock again and at what price, you so might as well buy another case too. The shortage got worse and worse, and in order to absolve themselves of any personal responsibility people imagined that evil preppers were going around and buying up all the TP and hand sanitizer and PPE. The problem is that in reality the system was irrational (people buying TP they don't really need) but individuals were behaving rationally (stock up when you can).

I'm not sure this is a fair comparison on many levels. Especially since you're valuing #2 very highly; it is worth 45% to very few educators. (I suspect you're ignoring time value of money or the fact that teachers generally have to contribute to these defined benefit plans).

You're also ignoring credentialing, continuing education, and total education requirements.

In my case, I work 40 weeks a year. I work at a private school and just have a 403(b) plan which has less favorable matching and vesting than most 401(k) plans. My total comp is well under 10% of what I could make in private industry. It's not exactly easier work to do well, either.

In this area (SF Bay Area), it's not really a living wage unless you have a spouse that can subsidize you.

In the end, the low comp is causing a lot of teachers to self-select out of the profession, and it's a reason why we have a teacher shortage. If the pay were as ample as you suggest, this would not be happening.

An equally big reason is the low social status and often-poor working conditions of teachers.

The public spends boatloads on education, but in the public sector, a bigger and bigger administrative class and dubious, administrative-driven spending gobbles it up.
I am not using VS Codium myself (nor VS Code), but if I was using it, then yes, I would trust those people more than MS. For 2 reasons: MS people are working for MS, so at some point in their lives they must have made the decision, that working for MS is acceptable, with all the history MS has. The second reason is, that MS people built in the telemetry in the first place, and for a reason, so they have no incentive to remove or disable it, while others might.

A having a reproducible build means, that the hidden telemetry would need to be hidden in the publicly available code. Whereas telemetry in VS Code can be bundled in and no one would ever see that code, except for MS. If I was using it, I might actually, in a motivated night, look at the code and try to grasp the general picture of where goes what. Or perhaps see the diff between VS Code code and VS Codium code, to see, whether they added anything and from where they removed things.

* There's a decent built-in gpu

* Or I can plug an external gpu into the back

* Or I can rip out the mainboard on an old Framework and pop this one in

* Or I can pop this mainboard into a Cooler Master case or some rando 3D printed case and have a PC which can sit on my desktop, underneath my TV, etc. (Granted this thing probably won't have the horsepower of a real desktop but for a lot of workloads it's probably be fine)

The original Framework had a great philosophy with limited execution. This seems like a whole new level of utility, and perhaps just the beginning of what an ecosystem built around the Framework could become. The question you usually have to ask about any product is why would I buy this? But in this case I'm struggling to come up with good reasons NOT to buy. I already have a laptop, a desktop, and a living room PC. If I can potentially refresh the Framework to fulfill ANY of those roles what excuse do I have to not to own one?
Yeah, none of big tech wants that, they don't want to make it easy for 3rd party.

Ideally there would just be standarized interface between "credential manager" and applications + some OS-enforced security (so password manager knows which PID sent the question about password or other type of credential).

Then we could have say pub/privkey or cert based authentication implemented there, app just asks for a credential for a site and cred manager asks user whether to allow it once or forever, and which credential to give.

The app then could garnish that with extra metadata so say firefox container feature, or different firefox profile could attach metadata about from which container or profile the request comes from, and credential manager could hand out different credentials based on from where it came.

What do you mean by "you". Maybe "you" as in a general consumer don't need an FPGA, but I guess one could argue a general consumer doesn't need a general purpose computer either.

There are certainly many use cases where you absolutely do need an FPGA, i.e. anything were you need to process large amount of IO in realtime. For example the guys from simulavr (talk about how they use an FPGA for display correction) here: https://simulavr.com/blog/testing-ar-mode-image-processing/

My favorite line from the HumanEval paper[0]

> It is important for these tasks to be hand-written, since our models are trained on a large fraction of GitHub, which already contains solutions to problems from a variety of sources.

So to answer your question, yes, the evaluation dataset is spoiled. You can find such unique and never before seen docstrings like

> For a given list of input numbers calculate the Mean Absolute Deviation around the mean of this dataset. Mean Absolute Deviation is the absolute difference between each element and a centerpoint (mean in this case)[1]

And here's a repo I found that is 8 years old[2]. But how about a more recent one that is even closer?[3] There's plenty more examples[4] (does anyone know how actually limit the date to prior to 2021? `pushed:<2021` doesn't work nor does using the `created` keyword. Date searching doesn't seem to work well).

In essence, we can still use this evaluation method to determine how good our model is at doing fuzzy searching. Which, mind you, is still a useful thing. But I would be careful in concluding that this means the model is good at generalizing arbitrary descriptions of code or novel pieces of code. That said, one may be able to argue that not many lines of code are actually that novel. Still, we need to be careful about our conclusions and understand the limitations of our metrics (something I am currently deeply troubled by)

I see that Unity compiles to webgl, so what are the benefits of using things like Phaser? Is there something better than Phaser?

Currently I'm tempted to just use Unity because then you can have one codebase for mobile app and web (or is there an easy way to turn a Phaser game into an app) and because then a single dev team can do 3D, 2D, apps, and web-native.
