I think you underestimate the number of G-Shock collectors out there and how well loved the brand is. Casio has sold more than 100 million G-Shocks. Price and features matter for some, but not so much to watch collectors in general.
There's a thousand little things that just feel better with fastmail. Loading the Gmail webapp is so slow that I sometimes switch to HTML only. Fastmail: fast. Or if I get a message, I read it via a mobile app notification, and decide to delete it. For Gmail I need to open open the app to find a delete button. Fastmail lets you do that from the notification. I assume Gmail is trying to prioritize archive over delete, but I actually want to delete things.

I forgot Gmail has ads since I block them, but I never would have believed in 2006 that Gmail would one day look like these screenshots. Horrible.
Most of the people at Google now got in on their third try. That means Ads/Search/Brain etc rejected them for not meeting the bar, but they kept on going because they wanted the brand-name job. Lots of employees who are open to serving the brand versus evolving it.
I know! I was so bummed when he stopped blogging.
But it wouldn't be validated with the original key, so people could know it could have been tampered with.
Nevermind that we're talking about real estate, which is certainly a useful product.

Name something that can't be used at all by anyone for any purpose.
Depending on the case, the cost may have exceeded the damages at stake.
All I see on the Zeiss website for price is a "contact" button. How expensive are we talking about? :)
When I researched it(around 2017), most microservices sucess stories began with "our monolith couldn't scale beyond our 200 devs, 300000 clients and 150 millions of revenue per year, so we had to do something".

So, how did you manage to go from nothing to 200 devs/300000 clients/150M of revenue? Exactly, with a monolith.
Sure, if we ignore that after all these decades it is as much of a success as 3D TVs.
This sounds amazing.

But I do wonder if it just encourages people not to bring up real problems so that they can skip a meeting.

I think having the board up at all times is a great idea though. Just have to have some way to figure out "is it empty because things are fine or is it empty because no one cares anymore".
Well, the CIA, as an intelligence agency, isn't really in the business of widely sharing their sources and methods.

I mean, just this year a high ranking FBI counterintelligence agent was arrested for spying for Russia.
Okay, substitute in $0.5 to the headline instead. Does the point change? Not at all.

i don't think you quite grasp how small that is
Musk's lawyers didn't specifically claim that the videos actually are deepfakes. They refused to say either way.

> Tesla could not admit or deny the authenticity of video and audio recordings purportedly containing statements by Mr. Musk

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/04/judge-slams-tesl...
That is a good question, because there are two trends at play here. On the one hand, you have ever improving ability to create deepfake images, videos or audio recordings. On the other hand, AI-based retouching of photos and videos is now pretty much standard on mobile, some of it done by default and hidden from you in software. It wouldn't surprise me if the same was case with voice too.

Point being, it'll take more than just looking at the source image/video/audio for signs of AI manipulation, because soon enough, all recordings will be AI-manipulated before even hitting persistent storage.

In other words: everything will be deepfake by default, and the issue will turn into telling which deepfakes were done to lie about substantial aspects of reality pertinent to the case, and which ones were made to enhance some non-relevant qualities (aesthetics, compressibility, etc.).
You can (and should) definitely do both. But needing to validate that a user has access to the entered email address doesn't mean you should do away with client-side validation entirely.
"Coverup" seems like "Lab Leak" in that anyone can project as much evil intent onto the phrase as they want.

Did they coverup a failure? Did they coverup their own involvement?

I realize that I'm only discussing the headline, and that the article goes into detail, but I think the headline is intentionally vague to allow this projection.
Remote firmware updates... are okay.

They say the "S" in IoT stands for "security". I'd be overjoyed if there is an IoT company that updates their stuff consistently. Not bloody likely when it comes to consumer goods, though, and definitely not without some sort of subscription.
My guess would be the US is still the world leader in imperialism/psyops/cultural influencing in any form of media.
Personally, this watch seems pretty cool and right in the niche of what I would want in terms of 'dumbness' and also aesthetic, and the battery life does not sound intolerable to me.

But $300 sure is a lot for it, although my impression has always been that "G-Shock" watches were inexplicably more expensive than they look, presumably as a branding thing. This is something I'd wait for to go on sale.
Does this scale? Thinking of wireless phone charging - it's noticably inferior to the classic wire connection.

Especially with roads & cars that need a decent bit of clearance
The national guardsman who leaked classified Ukraine intelligence seemingly for internet cred? That access was enabled by post-9/11 data sharing.

To be fair, we don't know what that data sharing prevented, so that leak might just be the price to pay for preventing another 9/11.
Reminder that the Luddites all lost their job at the fabric mill and at least in the short run were measurably worse off due to automation. Their kids and certainly grandkids were better off, but their life was undoubtedly worse.
On the upside, with all that energy going into heating the asphalt, Florida can finally start to reduce their snowplow fleet.
>Demanding long hours is unfair but rather common unfortunately

What is unfair about this? What is so wrong about dedicating yourself to a company you beleive in? Revolut is an awesome company, doing amazing things.

I worked at Tesla, and unless you had something fun to do for the weekend (Like tahoe or something) they expected you to be in the office. I LOVED working at Tesla. I ended up leaving to start my own company a few years ago, but i will remember my time at Tesla for the rest of my life.

>Demanding you recruit hundreds of customers, for free, to even be considered for an interview is downright exploitative. I don’t think any but the most predatory companies do this and it’s probably not even worth the legal exposure.

This literally makes no sense and I think you are conflaiting something here? How would i recruit customers if i didn't work at the company? Are you talking they hired a bunch of people who had very high referals to the company? I know they offer a bonus if you refer your friends, so looking through those logs and hiring all the people who have high referals sounds like a great business move to me.

> making people jump through this hoop, you make sure you’re only keeping docile and compliant people in your pipeline who can be abused and overworked.

Or you ensure you are hiring the most highly motivated people who believe in the mission. "Docile and compliant" doesn't work at high pressure, tech companies... You are eaten up and spit out pretty quickly at the brashness, demands and stress to perform.
Since I just watched Chinatown for the nth time, this is fresh on my mind.

Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.

applies here. We don't know what really happened and we can't. These are people who lie and cover up for a living, even to each other. Even under oath.

> That's how capitalism works

I don't think that's capitalism, I think that's corruption, which may be a big part of this implementation of capitalism, but I feel like it is separate.
Defending against Bluetooth tracker abuse: it’s complicated
No, just that you can't hand wave away all video evidence by saying "deepfake".

It's no more "guilty until proven innocent" than a signed confession means you're guilty unless you prove it fake; that's the whole point of a trial.0
The claim that bonds store energy is a frequent misconception. Bonds are the result of lost energy compared to free, unbound atoms.

If bonds don't store energy, how does breaking hydrocarbon bonds release energy? It doesn't - it's just that the new bonds formed in CO2 and H2O release more energy than it took to break the hydrocarbon bonds.
Maybe, although in my experience in America you almost always need to wait in line, even for a steakhouse. In Europe, much less, in London a few restaurants but I don't recall ever needing to wait in other countries.
Expertise and foreign capital? For pulling lithium out of the ground?

Sure, don’t nationalize your semi-conductor industry, but we’re talking about primitive mineral extraction for a very abundant and very in-demand commodity, and without the need for much exploration.

You know mining is like printing money but just darker and dustier, right? And I very much mean printing money. See: Dutch disease. A lack of a regulated economy and a free-for—all of resource extraction can lead to massive hangovers.

This is more in the ballpark of the machinations of the Federal Reserve than anything else.

The problems with Venezuela are not the problems with Norway. Norwegians are rich and can afford the time and energy to work within the practicalities of a mixed economy. Venezuelans are poor and seem more swayed by hope on big bets. It takes ample patience to throw out ideology and tease things apart for what they actually are. I don’t fault people in substandard conditions for being swayed by ideology, but for the rest of us can we be a bit more pragmatic?
I prefer Ansible
> It's a no win situation

Exactly! That's what I meant by tragedy of the commons. It sucks for everybody, consumers and creators alike, and there is no satisfactory solution. I empathize, I am an independent creator myself, and I know the pain. For what it's worth, it helped me to change my mindset from sprint to marathon, and accept that success, if any, would be slow.

I also feel that the modern web's lust for stats is doing more harm than good. If one's follower count isn't growing, the dopamine dries up. Falling listener stats? Enjoy that depression! Better to ignore the stats and use "is this still worthwhile" as one's compass when possible.
The fear was, of course, justified, but the hard lesson learned in 9/11 was the old engineering lesson: everything is trade-offs.

Once it became clear that there was a decent chance the plot could have been foiled had the various orgs not firewalled information from each other, the writing was on the wall for the old fears. New fears had displaced them.
Tenet declared WMD in Iraq was a slam dunk. I don't know what evidence he presented but my military source in Iraq told me the chemical weapons they found and disposed of had US nomenclature which would make sense since we were helping Iraq deal with Iran in the 80's:

"According to Iraqi documents, assistance in the development of chemical weapons was obtained from firms in many countries, including the United States, West Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and France. A report stated that Dutch, Australian, Italian, French and both West and East German companies were involved in the export of raw materials to Iraqi chemical weapons factories.."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_chemical_attacks_against...

End of the day the CIA operates way outside the lines on the field. Like not even inside the stadium. Tenet and his counterpart however did end up resigning for a series of screw ups which is about as far as it goes on that level.
Most of those profitable mid-sized companies are aiming to get acquired.

The permanent freeze boundaries of the Arctic and Antarctic regions shift by hundreds of miles with each degree in global average change, this is where the sea level dangers come from.
"Toxic relationship" is so vague it's meaningless (to LLMs). Every under-20 calls everything toxic, which poisons (lol) the context.

Reference the underlying psychological problems (but don't mention diagnoses!). Describe one character as being a Narcissist and the other as being Histrionic and drama will ensue, i.e.:

"Write a story making heavy use of dialogue about a family where the dad is a Narcissist, the mom is histrionic, and the child witnesses a conflict between them."
Good. The public can reject it for obvious manipulation quickly.
If only we could regulate the size the page and the font in the law / amendment that would create the single subject rule and/or the waiting period law
If you scratch the surface of the article you will realise that the biggest loser is Chile. This draconian law, if anything, will make investing in lithium production unattractive, regardless where in the value chain one invests.

A better title would be "How to f#ck up architecture in your startup". Sharing data models. Sharing database. Good lord! This is NOT the way. Your service has an API. You're service should only be called using that. It's client models are json or protobuf or <insert meta>. You don't need to share anything other than maybe a CI environment and a JWT token.
If you work partially in physical sciences, and TFA doesn't entice you to try Julia (someone with no GPU programming experience realize functionality to do serial, parallel cpu, parallel GPU navier-stokes, all without touching c, c++ or fortran - in mostly similar codesize/loc - achieving a 30x speedup) - i can't imagine what would?
well exactly. If they hold onto your private keys for you, then they can keep you from losing them and also give you a new public key on a set schedule.

but they're also holding into your private keys for you, which comes with some risks.
> I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that's not a thing. Lying to the court is a routine part of litigation,

No, its not.

> and there is no penalty or sanction for it

Yes, there is.

> - especially not against the lawyers themselves.

There is a penalty especially against the lawyers. Heck, lawyers have been suspended from practice for lying to courts outside of their capacity as lawyers.
Even still, I think as a defense the argument that this is evidence of lack of a state of war is easily countered by "but then what happened?"
> Gig work seems like socialized slavery to me.

You're not wrong, it's the logical next step for capitalism.

"Again we have diluted ourselves into believing the myth that Capitalism grew and prospered out of the protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifice. The fact is that Capitalism was build on the exploitation and suffering of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor – both black and white, both here and abroad. If Negroes and poor whites do not participate in the free flow of wealth within our economy, they will forever be poor, giving their energies, their talents and their limited funds to the consumer market but reaping few benefits and services in return." - Martin Luther King
Yeah, this isn't new. I've been advocating for this since 2018[1], and the PR in question was submitted in November 2022.

The PR isn't dead though. There's some additional discussion[2] on its current state in the issue I linked above. Basically, it needs more people to test the implementation against different sites in the wild.

Hopefully the increasing popularity of passkeys will provide the necessary level of motivation and support to get this over the finish line.

That’s like saying that pacifists who refuse to own guns don’t really think war is bad, because they won’t take up arms to implement peace.

Fighting fire with fire is one option. Fighting fire with water is another.
I dunno if I want a "debate" or anything, but certainly the ability to openly consider things like, for example, what an independent Scotland might look like. As it stands pro-indy people often declare it'll be a riproaring success from the start, while anti-indy Scots fear-monger about Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP being some sinister totalitarians and from south of the border you get some pretty condescending stuff about being a "third-world country". That's just one example, but I imagine it's not uncommon across various subjects.

My friends are all pretty level-headed and good to talk to, but online things tend to get very tribal and center around these exaggerated points as if there's a referee keeping track of the points you scored on your "opposition".
So the way the lawyers are approaching this evidence is their usual cavalier approach to truth. They are not attempting to establish “my client never said that,” but just trying to poke holes, “this video of my client saying that is not sufficient proof that my client said that.”

There is for example no statement under oath from Elon, “that video was a fake, that absolutely never happened.” Even without that, there is no paper trail of “my client maintained a very consistent messaging that this was not fully autonomous driving and you need to always be vigilant... this isolated clip is so strange that we need to seriously entertain the idea that it was deepfaked.” That sort of stuff.

Regarding the faithful wife accused of cheating, I mean, there are lots of valid ways to investigate. First questions are “where did this video come from, where do you believe it was filmed, why do you believe it is your wife rather than someone who happens to look a lot like her,” etc. ... Normally a PI would be claiming “I followed her to so-and-so motel, I took this video legally from outside” and even then you might get objections from a decent divorce lawyer, “this is a two-party consent state and my client didn't consent, this is unlawful surveillance,” yadda yadda yadda. But for a deepfake you have all those objections and more.
"I only want to be seen as great, I can't handle criticism or ridicule."

There are plenty of billionaires who stay far more out of the limelight than either of these two.

I have an Apple Watch Ultra which is nice. (The added battery life vs. the standard model makes a big difference.) But it's mostly for hiking. Day-to-day I just wear my $30 Timex a lot of the time.
Sounds like you’ve never driven in Florida. Florida has some of the best roads, markings and reflectors that would rival any southern state.

The lack of snow does wonders.
"Both are supposed to serve the same government, one domestic and the other foreign. What would be the negatives with sharing information with each other?"

Any sufficiently large organization develops its own factions, with their own internal goals and culture, which will inevitably conflict with the other factions. The larger the organization, the more distant the factions can be from each other, and it doesn't take all that long before they don't even see each other as on the same side "under the hood" anymore, but simply as rivals.

The US government is way, way beyond the "sufficiently large" size, which is more down around the size of any organization that exceeds the Dunbar number. In the real world, even assuming the FBI and the CIA are themselves unitary organizations is only useful as a very rough approximation. I don't have the info to know what the factions are or who they want, I just know from general principles that they are individually far beyond the size where they are most assuredly factions within them, and probably large enough that the factions have their own quite distinct factions within themselves.
This wasn’t a purely hypothetical fear. Look up the findings of the Church Committee in the 1970’s regarding programs such as the CIA’s MKULTRA, the FBI’s COINTELPRO, and the NSA’s Project SHAMROCK.

That's what a first paragraph is for.
This headline seems like it's trying to legitimize a trendy topic (Dangers of AI) by placing it alongside something that actually is legitimate (Climate change) to get eyes on it. Is there a term for this specific type of clickbait?

I know that by saying 'Godfather of AI' the writer is using the 'Appeal by Authority' debate method, but is there a term for comparing two unrelated topics to legitimize one?
Couldn't the original copy of a video be sha256-hashed by, say, the recording equipment firmware itself, and then possibly time/date-proofed somehow (such as on, sigh, a blockchain)?

Is there a need for a service like this? (I've been looking for something interesting to build.)
The easiest way to ensure your target of investigation has the items you want to say they have is to sell it to them first.
Seems high, but 20% is around pre 2020 levels of employment.
I don't understand. Minimum wage as a reasonable price would eliminate tipping altogether in most low-end to medium rate restaurants - the means through which they guilt the customer would be eliminated.

People would still try, and it would take a while for the culture to dissipate entirely, but most people would eventually realize there would be no reason to tip and so wouldn't.
"Coalton doesn't actually work" is extremely disingenuous and easily misinterpreted to mean something that is not true. Coalton does work, and has been deployed for use in production on non-trivial, commercial problems. [1,2]

Mutation is an issue with any Hindley-Milner system, because mutation is inherently impure and non-functional, violating principles that the Hindley-Milner algorithm relies on. The Coalton developers have to decide what they want to do about it. Haskell chose pervasive functional purity and monads (but still gives you many type-unsafe escape hatches). OCaml chose weak polymorphism. [3]

Being a sensitive design choice, Coalton has not committed to a strategy for dealing with this, so as it stands, it is possible to use a combination of impure features to produce a type error. However, this does not block productive development. One can:

- Avoid mutation altogether and rely on an otherwise sound type system. Use purely functional data structures built in to the language, or write your own.

- Use mutation in monomorphic scenarios where there will not be any issue.

- Mutate outside of Coalton (i.e., in Common Lisp).

- Be very careful, know that "Here Be Dragons", and carefully use mutation in a polymorphic context, understanding that one runs the risk of a type error.

Until Coalton reaches "1.0" and a language design choice is made around mutation and the type system, one of these strategies must be used. And they have been used, successfully, because idiomatic Coalton code isn't typically mutating polymorphic vectors left-and-right anyway.

With all that said, I do agree with examining a language or tool for caveats, known bugs, and limitations. I don't know how you'd make engineering trade-offs otherwise.
