> But in case of iPhone we don't worry about them building fakes from scratch, because those would be easy to tell on the spot.

I suggest having a look to Youtube. Some fake iPhones are so good that unless you have a deep knowledge of the product, you can be fooled. I certainly would be fooled.

> As it is now these phones are not so easy to hack without user proactively installing malware and many of them would survive only until the next OS update or security response payload. A hardware attack is more compelling.

I'm confident those state actors have the payloads ready whenever they want to use it on high value targets, this is kind of naive. Pegasus NSO could be a public example of that.

You are not valuable enough to require such an exploit but that's a thing right now.
Are you claiming to know more than someone with the actual disorder because of secondhand discussions, and that also gives you the power to diagnose strangers over the Internet?

General purpose CPUs can only get so good. With that said, there are still many advancements that can be made to shrink die sizes and/or shove more transistors more closely together (3D is hard due to heat… but…).

I’m excited about photon-based processors, but until that’s a reality we still have a ton of headway for application-specific scaling.

If you rip specific loops out of a general purpose CPU, there are still plenty of gains to be made!
And tax free too
Sometimes I wonder, people say they don’t like crowds but are still not living in the wilderness and I feel that maybe many of the people claiming to feel so different are not being sincere.
Zig is Modula-2 with C like syntax, plenty of @, no support for binary libraries.

What it has over Modula-2 feature checklist is mostly comptime.
I guess I would flip that around and say that the fintechs are providing services that are worth paying the mark-up for - not the other way around.
> I wish more programming languages provided interfaces for building libraries around the std library like what Go does. It makes using libraries a lot better because you aren't dependent on that library as long as it uses the std library interface.

So, standard interfaces, or dynamic or structural typing? Lots of languages have those (some all three.)
No. Standards for the development of which my taxes paid for should be accessible for free.

Just make it the law.
Buddy, there is no room for compromise. Either we stop emitting CO2 soon or the climate is fucked beyond recognition. There is no middle ground. Obviously to way to stop emitting CO2 is not to ask everyone to live in mud huts and do subsistence agriculture from now on. Literally nobody proposes that.

Ah, that’s fair. I thought you were referring to the „strange“ letters used in the parent comment.
low switching costs between platforms that wont lock-in users, 100% stop with the abominable surveillance adtech, extensive recyclability and reparability.

Who pays for that?

What you want is less "pollution". A polluted market where you can't switch from apple to Samsung. A polluted privacy environment online. A polluted world with a phone that's just full of glue.

Companies, and humanity in general, just pollutes as much as their local environment allows.

What your saying is possible to do, but doing those things means less money for the owners of the companies and less features going out the door (as money and time are spent on non-profit expenses).

No one will pay $$ to switch between apple and google. Why would either company make it easy to lose monthly app subscriptions? They'd be paying money to shoot themselves in the foot.

What needs to happen is more regulation (just like physical world pollution) but the USA culture is very anti-government so nothing will happen.
Does everyone else feel like optimal/efficient algorithms are _significantly_ easier to intuit once you know the achievable complexity? My initial guess was that this algorithm would be n log n, but once I read that the solution space was linear, I instantly came up with some linear approaches.
You are talking about fractions of a percent, for transactions where banks in aggregate take some risk, while Google and Apple keep their 30.000/100.000 ransom on all transactions...
Why should there even be something like cash back or points programs? These programs are taking money from the merchant and giving it to the end-consumer, while the middle-men keep a cut.

I believe a world without these programs (or as you said “watered-down” versions) is more fair for the merchant and others shoppers not using such cards.
Especially if the merchant is not allowed to charge the end-consumer with this added fee.
Is Now a Good Time to Do Nothing? (2021)
low crime is not just a given, its a result of the design. A properly designed dense city planning reduces crime by default(people are less likely to commit crime if other people are watching and public spaces and buildings are designed for this purpose. Not just this- the social housing is cool too because it blocks concentration of marginalised people in one place, making it unsafe and rather spreads those people evenly across the city. There are many subtle things that are implemented in nordic countries to reduce crimes and its super interesting
Thanks for that analysis. So...really? The prince work was editorial art commission and the purpose of that is to sell magazines? Is that idea?

I think that sounds a little weird. Walk into the downtown corporate building of big firms in any city in the world, and I think you often see large scale art in the high ceilinged foyer: these pieces are often specially commissioned by the building owners or firm. Would the purpose of those, by that judgement, be to "sell the firm" (or equivalently raise its profile to by a chain of events, eventually increase revenue?).

To me that just sounds weird, because often they are great art in themselves, and indeed many go on to be sold to other collections, or loaned to museums, and throughout their life they are rotated through the firms buildings or collections--just like regular art.

But maybe I'm misunderstanding your meaning or the connection here.
> Now the phone warns you about a replaced part. Even if it is a genuine one.

Yes, and that's a broken behavior.

> This is a thread model of many people in many countries today. Sorry for stupid question but is there a usable phone that is more secure, seriously?

No it's not a threat model of many people. I'm not even aware of such an attack existing publicly, please link relevant media articles of past attempts, including on Android. Targeted attacks go for the software because it's easier and doesn't leave a trace.

> Sorry for stupid question but is there a usable phone that is more secure, seriously?

Publicly you have GrapheneOS, privately you have security firms providing secure systems for high profiles which are targets.
You're not locked in at home. There's very little stopping you from joining a coworking space, going to the coffee shop etc and working in an environment outside of your home. In fact this is far more beneficial for your career because assuming other people are doing so, you are passively networking with people outside of your company and finding better opportunities.

People have gotten so use to the corporate propaganda of work being your life that they cannot understand you can live and socialize outside of work, and that it's far healthier to do so. I've made friends at work and while working full remote but corporations use this to add friction for people to stay.
> I don't think its level of database tooling is noticeably better than other big languages with less of a standard database API (e.g., Python)

DB-API 2.0 (PEP 249) is very much a standard database API.
I think it works against them so much. I barely use mine because I can't use it at many small shops, can't use it abroad (because it's ~2% exchange fee), and often buy flights in other currencies to save so can't use it for those (big purchases).

Drag Your GAN: Interactive Point-Based Manipulation of Images
DragGAN consists of two main components including: 1) a feature-based motion supervision that drives the handle point to move towards the target position, and 2) a new point tracking approach that leverages the discriminative GAN features to keep localizing the position of the handle points.

They either keep them bone dry or pickle them in brine to prevent decomposition, though they're still at the stage of proving how effective this is long term.

One account is not enough in the cross-border e-commerce industry, where platform rules are constantly changing. The slightest change in the rules may lead to a drop in exposure or even store closure. Maintaining an account does not mean that everything is foolproof either. Why are the major platforms more and more stringent requirements for their accounts? In the initial stage of development of each platform, in order to attract more consumers, the platform needs to have enough accounts and provide enough goods. After accumulating a certain number of consumers, the platform will pay attention to the shopping experience of sellers, prevent sellers from repeatedly laying the same goods, and maintain the stable and healthy development of the platform with severe penalties. Among them, account association is a very important one.

Cross-border platform association factors are generally the following three: 1. Operation side: network card MAC address, browser cookies, Flash objects; 2. Network side: router MAC address, external network IP address; 3. Account information: credit cards, information on the payment method, phone number, email, registered address, etc.; general anti-association solution is independent new computer independent new network cable program. The new system and browser are safe ways to log in. Convenient and fast VPS is accepted by most sellers, stop as you go, and IP changes at any time. Virtual machine solution is technically demanding and complicated to operate.

Is there a convenient and fast solution to face the security problem of cross-border e-commerce stores?

In order to let cross-border sellers carry out sales work safely, conveniently, and at low cost, MuLogin has launched a: MuLogin Antidetect Browser, which can meet the security and management needs of all cross-border platform sellers, solve the problem of anti-association management of multiple accounts on cross-border e-commerce platforms, easily manage multiple accounts with just one computer, and help users solve the problem of multiple accounts on multiple platforms MuLogin Antidetect Browser has a wide range of features to help you manage your accounts.

MuLogin Antidetect Browser has many different UA, different computer systems, different resolutions, different graphics cards, and other random combinations, plus the purchase from third parties to set different IPs, each store's login environment is different. Creating a browser profile in MuLogin Antidetect Browser is equivalent to creating an independent and separate virtual browser environment. MuLogin is fully functional to meet the needs of small, medium, and large sellers with different platforms and different account management convenience, and the different permissions of the account make management more convenient.

> They waited years longer than the competition to switch to larger screens. They only really got to it with the iPhone 6.

There's a lot of people upset they switched to larger screens! I suspect that Steve Jobs really wanted the phone to continue to fit in his jeans watch pocket.

Android phones generally had to be larger for engineering reasons. But larger phones sell well.

> They completely slept on OLED and stuck to LCD until the iPhone X, when all mid to high range Android phones had already used OLED for years.

The iPhone has always had great screens. A lot of the early OLED screens were simply not good enough, cheap enough, and/or available at high enough production.

The iPhone X was more expensive and meant to be a smaller run compared to the main consumer line. It needed a screen with a concave cutout. It makes a lot of sense that this was their first OLED iPhone screen.

IIRC correctly, the iPhone X had much higher demand than Apple anticipated, and there were shortages due to the OLED screen.

Generally, android phones compare favorably because people will pick and choose the winning premium features and the lowest price from a set of Android phones, to compare against the single flagship iPhone. It's rigged.

Eventually people will be talking about how late Apple was to get into folding phones, when nearly all Android phones sold are still non-folding phones today, years after the first folder launched - and folders typically sell at over $1k premium.

> They slept on the screen-to-body ratio. They were years behind their Android competition when they finally changed their course with the iPhone X.

Is replacing hardware buttons with an always-displayed button bar really changing the screen-to-body ratio?
It appears so.
> The best we can say is that the limits it brings provides meaning to life.

There is no way that Stalin could still be the ruler of the Soviet Union today because he would be 144yo and people don't live that long. I think mortality prevents individuals and groups from dominating politics, art, and science forever.

The reality of aging and death is terrible, no doubt. I think about it every day. But I see it as a necessary force to prevent stagnation and to ensure that our culture, values, and institutions are continually "redeployed" onto new people.

Maybe I'm wrong. Well mortality means new people will have the opportunity to reevaluate these questions.
Performace/$ is still going down when adjusting for inflation. Performance/W goes down even more.

What we need is more competition. Nvidia has plenty of substantially faster cards they are shipping, they are just minimizing performance delivered and maximizing cost to the consumer.

4070 is comparable in bandwidth to the 3060 Ti and would be a much nicer upgrade for 2.5 years, but instead they increased the price by 50% and named it a 4070 instead of a 4060 ti.
Nvidia thinks that Moore's Law is dead. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/09/do-expensive-nvidia-g...

Intel, by contrast, says that Moore's Law is still alive. But Intel is technologically behind, and it is easier to improve when there is someone to learn from, so maybe there is a wall that they haven't yet hit.

Regardless, it is a very different law than when I was young, when code just magically got faster each year. Now we can run more and more things at once, but the timing for an individual single-threaded computation hasn't really improved in the last 15 years.
WSL (carrot) plus UEFI Secure Boot (stick) exist to lure people who were considering switching to Linux away from running it on bare hardware, so that Microsoft can keep foisting spyware and advertising upon them.

> MS has never positioned WSL for prod use, and instead cautions against using it for non-dev activities.

Exactly, WSL is deliberately kept an inferior product so that people are discouraged from developing for Linux.

I use several such systems, including TNG, and they have all of the same fee structures as credit cards.

The TNG cash back program: https://fintechnews.my/33848/e-wallets-malaysia/fave-offers-...

The TNG loyalty program: https://www.touchngo.com.my/promotion/redeem-your-points/

The TNG cardholder fees: https://www.touchngo.com.my/policies/touch-n-go-card-fees-an...

There’s also merchant fees (which are confidential). All of these systems are just reinvented credit cards. They often try to compete with credit cards on merchant fees, but you’re still paying for exactly the same thing. This “alternative” is just the same thing with a different name. You might find a few base points difference in merchant fees here and there (especially during the growth phase of these technologies), but the alternative isn’t to eliminate the premium charged for processing credit cards, it’s simply to allocate it to a different service provider.

I wish Firefox was as good as Chrome at correlating page visits and network requests.

It particularly annoys me if you reload a page with a websocket open you see the logs for the websocket closing right at the start of the subsequent load. (Preserve logs is off of course)

There are multiple decades old bugzilla discussions about Firefox's idiosyncratic websocket lifecycle handling. Not sure exactly which causes this, doesn't seem to be much point in debugging further
> Most suburbs in the United States are built very very intentionally to accomodate car and discourage other modes of transportation. Cul-de-sacs and winding roads only make sense with cars. The logistics of having a bus serve an area like that don't make sense, and even walking these winding, dead-end streets is a much bigger chore than, say, walking on relatively straight streets that try to connect point A to point B efficiently.

Well, one could make an on-demand share taxi/microbus service that serves between those cul-de-sacs and the closest avenue that is served by full size fixed-route scheduled buses.
I've heard they're also going to raise prices. I guess it's time to quickly finish watching what you were still planning to watch.

This is a perpetuated lie based on half-information. It is technically correct. If you are comparing a place that only takes cash, and a place that only takes plastic. This place does not exist. This thing exists, is called a vending machine, and it is indeed cheaper for my bag of chips to be cashless.

If a business takes both cash and cards, allowing cards In Addition to already taking cash, does not cost more. It costs a lot less.

But don't take my word for it. Just look at how many places kept trying to offer discounts for cash, how hard and for how many decades the card companies lobbied against that, and how many places do that now since it became illegal for credit cards to force that into their vendor agreements.

Let me give you an example of the logic used for the statement. A 5 ton truck is faster than a porshe 911.

When the truck is cruising on the highway and the porshe is starting off a red light.
There are cheaper options though - my nursery in zone 3 North London is "only" £1500 a month.

Still don't understand why US is so obsessed with credit cards. Debit is much more easy and straight forward, it's the standard in EU. Most of us only have cc to purchase stuff from US sites. Why such a complicated solution? Looks like a bank product.
if that was all the normal stores did, that is whatever, but really digital tracking is like if a store took note of my body type, hair style, clothes choices, accent, eye color, fingerprints, how long i took to decide on purchases, what i purchased, my credit card, what other stores i have visited, and general phenotype to build a profile of me as a customer and then asked some oracle about my behavior based on that information (actual or imagined), which that oracle would then use to build larger profiles to further predict my own and others' behavior

I think they/we value personal freedom, but in a different way, especially in well designed cities/countries. Being able to get into a train/bus and arrive to destination without the hassle of searching for parking, being concentrated on road, avoid drinking alcohol, and spending a s** ton of money on buying car and fuel and taxes for them, like all this adds up and freedom of movement by car takes other freedoms from the people. Also it's interesting that americans value their freedom of movement so much but bike optimised infra is almost nonexistent and bikes are even more "pro freedom" since you don't need to take exams, register the bike, pay for fuel, you can usually drink some alcohol no problem and in case of ebikes you can charge them at home and ebikes can cover big distances as well but still, US is designed for cars&big cars only
