I'd add a link to the accouncement on the homepage. Right now there's only 'launch app' and 'join discord'. As a company I'd feel a bit lost and need more reading material before I'd click 'connect wallet'. For example it's not clear to me what kind of permissions I've giving away. Maybe the target audience already has a wallet.

There doesn't seem to be a link to the medium.com blog at all (but there is to twitter, facebook, instagram). Are businesses using facebook or instagram?

I can see a postal address in the terms-of-service and a generic email address. Is there any other social or otherwise proof you could promote that the service is stable, long-term and trust-worthy? Public Estonian company registry? Member of associations? Business insurance?

I appreciate the detailed breakdown of the challenges and solutions in the design process. For anyone interested in diving deeper, you might also want to explore Open Compute Project (OCP), an initiative that's similar in spirit and fosters sharing of open-source hardware designs.
> Also package dependency info is mostly lost in the container but would be valuable to have in the SBOM.

Agreed on connecting code->container and I'd go one step further with code->container->running server. I've helped folks work around the dependency metadata issue by adding the package-lock.json into the container for the explicit purpose of having syft pick it up. Not ideal but it works.

> I think one product should have one single SBOM, with all components and without duplicates.

Yes, and it's trickier than it sounds. My current line of thinking is to model components of an app (frontend, backend, queue worker, etc) as a stream of SBOMs per commit and use label queries to aggregate the SBOMs together dynamically as they change.
Although there are probably some poor CEOs, it seems to be that most CEOs occupy a power law in their domain. Although you might not agree with their methods, you have to agree that people such as Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk, are extremely good in raising and allocating capital. Automation is unlikely to automate these people anytime soon.
The realization that anything over a $12 F-91W is more jewelry than a timepiece helps explain much of the watch market. Once you own more than one watch you're gonna get many of them, which is something some watchmakers count on.
That's not a complete argument though (not to say the conclusion's wrong, I have no idea) - what's happened to marriage, non-divorce separation, death, and birth rates?
If a dev thinks they could build it themselves, they won’t pay. You have to cross a line where the dev does not want to even entertain the idea of building it. So backends for front end engineers, for example.
India has its own examples. Foreign examples only leads to whataboutism.
In recent months there's been a general direction to grant LLMs more and more agency, embodiment and tool control. They're being "plugged" into everything. Palantir even has a military use LLM they're excitedly showcasing. They're several popular repos that give control of your terminal and browser to LLMs.

The moment we built something showcasing strong general intelligence, we began to use it to make cognitive decisions and take actions in our stead.

Now an LLM browses the web for you. And as soon as June with Windows, it'll take actions on your computer for you as well.

If anything this recent LLM era has shown, it's that general AI won't need to escape any "box" because two sides will be missing. I don't think the idea that whatever Super Intelligence we build won't have influence on the real world will pan out at all.

Even the most isolated form of Super Intelligence will have Humans taking instructions from it. Instructions that you won't really be able to verify is ultimately for your own good.
In a vacuum, one might prefer Zig. But given that everyone already knows C and the ecosystem is so highly developed, it takes a gamechanging feature like Rust's memory safety to make an alternative language attractive (beyond a "this is cool" project--which I totally support).
Interesting that this exploit has continued to work through 15.7. Apple’s earlier BlastDoor system (introduced with iOS 14) clearly hasn’t done enough to stop future zero-click iMessage exploits, so I wonder what attack surface these bugs are found in. Does anyone have a more complete understanding of why the BlastDoor mitigation has been so insufficient?
OP “own” the product in the sense “use it as long as he want in the terms defined in the license at the time it’s bought.” Adobe can’t change the license of the Photoshop CS3 cd-rom I bought a while ago. If I’m using their current subscription version I would only use the license to use the product in the time defined by the subscription.
I never thought marriage was at the center of life, and I'm a bit surprised to think some people think that way. In my book marriage is a contract whose main purpose is to agree on what will happen when the spouse divorce (which happens for more than 45% of marriages in my country, and growing). It's not clear to me why it should be a the center of anything, and of life especially.

Friendship on the other hand feels important.
Perhaps you dont care but heads up, this comment thread plus the "solar stuff" mentioned previously is sufficient to identify you IRL via LinkedIn.

> Some diseases have big and obvious effects, while others are undetectable/unknown.

A disease is a pathological process, something that goes wrong. If someone lives their life without a symptom, they are not diseased.

Your immune system doesn't see "novel diseases", it encounters molecules it doesn't know. These molecules may be pathogenic (i.e. they cause a disease), or they may be harmless. Your immune system reacting disproportionately to harmless stuff, is what's called autoimmune disease.
In fact, some quick research suggests that multiple Swiss watchmakers had engineered quick-change watch straps before Apple... but you can definitely credit Apple for bringing it to the everyday consumer. I found an article[0] that predates the first Apple watch which mentions Hublot, Panerai and Cartier as innovators here.

In fact, one of the coolest things about the Cartier Santos is not only the quick-release system that frees the band from the watch but the hidden buttons that also allow you to resize the steel bracelet itself[1]! (Video shows a 2018 Santos, but nevertheless)

Regardless of who got it right first, I do hope that Apple's watch strap system becomes more ubiquitous in the watch world. Oftentimes watches are over-engineered for their 99% use case of casual wear in order to fulfill some fantasy of diving in the Caribbean or scaling Mt. Kilimanjaro, and so therefore many are screwed or fastened in some way that makes adjusting them a pain without tiny little tools and a clean surface.

This discussion isn't about the word life, it's about privacy; I'm sure the question of "life" will become harder if we end up creating sentient AGI...

Privacy in this discussion can mean different things, where there are definite overlaps, but also distinction:

* privacy of action (being sure that no one is watching what I'm doing)
* privacy in communication (being sure that my priviliged information isn't compromised)

We should be concerned with the second; the first is already lost
University (like a lot of CS students I'd assume). I always saw it as an academic thing and didn't give it much use until my compiler course. My professor for the course maintains a somewhat well known SML compiler and our course was writing a very formal functional programming language in SML. A lot of the power starting falling into place at that point. ADTs especially were eye opening.

I don't write in pure FP languages now, but I do use the concepts I learned all the time, especially as their fantastic concepts are leaking into other languages, like Rust.

I don't think pure FP languages will ever be real industry winners, but I think they're great experiment and research grounds for features that the broader community eventually adopts, which is such an important thing for improving the expressibility of our code.
Just because the pie is getting bigger doesn't mean our slices aren't getting smaller.
Tried your service. Once I sent my question and got the answer it's not possible to enter another request in the search field. Possible a bug ?
As noted, that only works in the short term.

Once base load and/or peaker plants become unprofitable, you either lose those or end up paying for them to idle.

Neither outcome is very desirable.

Energy storage is unlikely to come to the rescue in time.
The Fed does not target the monetary aggregates. Its impossible. They target interest rates, that is, the price of money, by buying and selling treasury securities and by paying interest on reserves. If they were to target monetary aggregates they would be unable to target interest rates.

That's not what is happening here at all. There is a separate set of regulations for those small, cheap, runabout electric vehicles. They are classified as "neighborhood electric vehicles". The NHTSA has not proposed to require automatic emergency braking for them.

In general, men are over represented at the extreme ends of performance, good and bad. If women excel in school that is an indicator of a bias against men.
I agree.

It's disheartening to see thousands of man-hours poured into these projects that solve a lot regarding rendering in the server and client but are nowhere close to popular backend frameworks like Rails, Laravel, and Django.

I imagine the argument is that, because these full stack frameworks are platform agnostic (Node, Deno, CF Workers, etc) they couldn't possibly cover all the backend needs for all those platforms. And of course that makes sense...

But IMO the decision to become platform agnostic is hurting more than it helps.

In part because I think people have overestimated the interest in deploying backend projects to say CF Workers. Sure you get super easy distributed compute but the real problem is distributed data which no one has solved properly yet.

And the other point is that IMHO it doesn't make sense to sacrifice the value and usefulness of a project just to offer a single feature (being platform agnostic) which is not that valuable to begin with.
Engineers going into the field to sample for PFAS contamination have a massive list of things they're not allowed to bring with them because it will skew results. That list includes types of paper and pens, it's truly mind boggling how pervasive these chemicals are.

Aren't timestamps always supposed to be utc?
It's so strange to me - so many devices sold yet I don't hear much about them at all. I hear about Xboxes somewhat, but maybe that's because I got one mainly as a Blu-ray player.
Yeah. Everyone I’ve talked to who has run a build cluster has recommended ECC for the build cluster, even if they’ve decided not to use ECC for other systems. Some people would run Hackintosh-like setups for macOS build clusters, just for the ECC.

Reproducible builds are also a big win here.
Not me, but OP seemed to be claiming that this brand of far-right extremism is better described as fascism. As opposed to claiming that storming a lecture is fascism.

I sympathise somewhat with the claim. Fascism has evolved since political parties literally used it in their names and marched around in customised military uniforms.

There are certain narratives continue to demarcate modern fascism from other extremist politics. A striking one is the focus on a pure nation or race, and the idea that some impure foreign invader is conspiratorially undermining that nation, and dragging it down from its purity and former glory.

For Braun this is the gays and the Jews (as it was for Hitler); for Trump it's the Mexicans; for Farage it's the Romanians; for Orban the "non-Europeans"; for Bolsonaro the indigenous Native Americans, etc...

This is pretty distinct from, say, authoritarian communist narratives, which are often about liberating the workers of the world from their capitalist masters.

Unless there's a way to mandate that the security team's contacts listed in security.txt actually respond in a timely manner to security-related messages that are sent to them, then I have a nagging feeling that:

* well-run organizations won't benefit from doing this, since their security teams were already easy to reach

and

* poorly-run organizations won't become any better by doing this, because one text file doesn't fix a broken org
That is such an excellent summary of a concept I've only recently started to realize and it seems so obvious in hindsight. I'm pretty sure it's never going to get through to the people that would need to hear it in order for the world to change though.
What you are proposing is great in a black-and-white world where some party is doing something strictly “bad” and harming society for their own gain, but it’s disingenuous to pretend that everything is “good” or “bad” behavior. A lot of people have benefited in some way from PFAS products, like non-stick pans, waterproof clothing, etc. The problem is that the cost of those benefits was intentionally covered up to influence consumer behavior. Now, the logical thing as a society is to assess what we lost due to that bad behavior, and recoup that, maybe plus some punitive measure.

Look at different products to get an idea of what I’m talking about. For instance, prescription medicine often has side effects. People are aware of the side effects, typically, and make an assessment of whether the benefits outweigh the costs. When we discover that companies did not correctly assess the side effects, we react accordingly, and fine them, ban them from selling the product, etc. But some of those drugs, despite unknown side effects, do a lot of good in the world.
Odd how you completely dodged the question, as asked. Every EC2 instance based on an Intel CPU has AVX512 since the release of the C/M5 family in 2017.

I sometimes get in the zone a little playing Eternal, it's fun when it clicks but I can't zone in completely.

I'm also currently playing GT7 and if I'm medicated and JUST tired enough I can fall into this intense zone where I feel like a pro, connected to the car and laying down clean and fast laps. It's an amazing feeling but it's so short lived.

Everything bothering me, even physical things just disappear and I'm focused on the game. This is huge for me, due to skin sensitivities every few seconds I'm normally pulled from focus with a slight itch.

It would be great to be able to easily replicate.
It's an entirely new category. When you're an Apple or Facebook, there isn't much further you can go with mobile phones or violating users' privacy respectively, so you need to explore new markets to expand.

IMO AR is the truly useful application of the technology, but the hardware needs to be basically goggles that can stay on your head all day and we're nowhere near that. VR is primarily useful for videogames and porn. Lots of money in gaming and porn, but not widely applicable like a HUD visible at all times.
Right. Congress and the President could do things like that.

But since they have to win elections, their incentives are in the opposite direction.

> The two female authors of this article share personal histories rife with egregious examples of gender bias in academic science and beyond. Born in 1950 and 1960, respectively, they endured substantial sexism and were victims of cruelty during the earliest decades of their careers. Despite these experiences, today they share the belief—rooted in empirical data—that although the situation in academia was often deeply unfair to women in the past, it has dramatically improved over recent decades. The key question today is, in which domains of academic life has explicit sexism been addressed? And in which domains is it important to acknowledge continuing bias that demands attention and rectification lest we maintain academic systems that deter the full participation of women?

> Just as there are negative consequences of not acknowledging bias, there are also costs of believing that sexism in academic science is pervasive when it is not—key among them that women will be discouraged from choosing academic careers in science, and resources will be wasted in combatting nonexistent bias claims. For this and many additional reasons, the two female authors of this article request that readers approach the topic with an open mind.
A new approach to realize parallel in-memory wireless computing
What I would consider "Left" is so far from what conservatives call leftists right now. Even the democrats are essentially conservative now. No one even wants to touch the boat, much less rock it. Liberals have become conservatives, conservatives have become reactionaries. It's brutal for leftists...

I don't know why you think that our government has shifted left. Unions are being strangled, rights are being revoked, cost of living for necessities is going up, social programs are being cut off, and everything left is being destroyed piece by piece. The only possible left shift is maybe some social issues. The days of the trusts and robber barons seem to be coming back.
I think the distinction is that those chemicals you mentioned (Tylenol/Acetaminophen, Caffeine) are not "forever chemicals" and, to my knowledge, there's no evidence of long term negative health effects of either within reasonable dosages (well, Tylenol has some restrictions, but there are directions and warnings on the package).

Also, saying that caffeine is "pretty toxic" seems like an exhageration to me. Can you elaborate on that?
Respectfully, the last thing I'm going to do is put in work with my ex wife. When the kids are with me I'll do whatever I want. Those types of discussions are one of the reasons why we're no longer together.
I didn't mention Tesla. FWIW mine was a Mercedes and it was the most dangerous car I've ever driven with distance. I've never had a car that actively tried to crash before.
With respect to Meta and Google, fair enough. They collect vast troves of data themselves and then use it to monetize content on their platforms. That's still enormously problematic as a) it makes them juicy targets for data breeches (hence Cambridge Analytica), b) it makes them key players in state surveillance activities, and c) they could always change their policies in the future if the financial incentives are right.

But critically, they are far from the only players in the space, and it's the entire ecosystem that's problematic.
Monkeypatching is programatically adding a method to a class at runtime.
While it's purpose is different it can be used to do distributed compiling, so I'll leave it here.

Since I was just going down this rabbit hole recently, I kind of wonder if it's possible to set the filesystem on something more like the BitTorrent protocol so things like the libraries/compilers/headers that are used during compilation dont all need to come from the main pc. It probably wouldn't be useful until you reached a stupid number of computers and you started reaching the limits of the Ethernet wire, but for something stupid that can run on a pi cluster it would be a fun project.

Not the person you were responding to, but here's an anecdatum:

One time I was driving behind someone under otherwise normal conditions, and they turned right into a parking lot. As they turned right, they obviously began exiting the road. The screen on my car screamed "BRAKE!" and then the braking system activated. They were about 60% of the way into the parking lot, and continuing to exit. I was at a normal following distance, going a normal speed, and they were just making a right into a parking lot. This was a very ordinary situation, and the emergency warning was unexpected.

Now, technically, if that car had completely stopped for some reason instead of continuing to exit, I guess I could have hit the back corner of the bumper. That is, if I hadn't, you know, shifted a couple feet to the left to avoid it.

Ironically, the emergency braking alarm was so distracting that it might have caused me to hit the car in front of me if the brakes hadn't activated, and if I had needed to steer to avoid an accident.

And if the person behind me hadn't seen my brakes suddenly activate, they might have hit me. Or, if the person behind them hadn't seen their brakes activate, they might have hit them. And so on.
Looking at the comments here I need to double check if I'm on some gearhead forum where automatic transmission is considered appropriate exclusively for teenagers and geriatric patients.

Anyway, I'll add my anecdote when my Toyota surprised me with a panic brake in a blind corner which probably saved my life by not ending up under a stopped bus. But the kicker is that my insurer gave me quite a steep discount when I originally bought the car, specifically due to the emergency brake feature. They may have more data comparing collisions for cars with/without this feature than anons on internet forums, who knows?
Sure as a hypothetical, but no one really believes that current inflation is driven by Supply.

Clearly the FED doesn't. If the Fed thought it was primarily a supply issue it would be printing money to allow cheap loans and industrial expansion
