Discussion of this dam by the author of those posts: https://www.datasecretslox.com/index.php/topic,5924.msg39559...

“OTOH, what gives me a bit of pause in going "It's a deliberate demolition" is that when I try to wrap my head around a plan for how you'd do this for a dam of this type (concrete gravity dam with spillway and powerhouse using intake sections), it gets to be extremely complicated very quickly. If you just had one huge bomb--and this would include airstrikes as well as a bomb on a truck or suspended from a barge in the forebay--you'd disrupt a couple of monoliths, and then this basically rounds to the same problem I pointed out above: why doesn't the progression stop after the disrupted monoliths slide downstream and the pool starts to drop?

But if you wanted to go and do demo on each monolith, that's...a very elaborate operation. Not impossible for a military to conduct, but it's hard for me to believe that it would have escaped notice until now. I'd expect to have seen a bunch of video of Russian soldiers spending weeks putting demo on each monolith, including having drilling rigs out there. People tend to have an overly-optimistic view of how easy it is to do a surreptitious controlled demolition, and it's harder when dealing with a structure that mainly functions by just being so damn heavy that water can't push it downstream--you need to either remove mass or disrupt the structure of the dam long enough for the reservoir to push it out of the way, which either means really big bombs that are probably easily visible, or super-elaborate placement of a bunch of small ones, which is also easily visible.”
> One thing which ties this all together is that Apple has a full-blown legitimate OS that can run professional software that already exists. Throw it into a headset, driving up the price significantly, but potentially make a computer replacement.

There’s no reason that the iPhone or iPad couldn’t be a computer replacement. The issue is that Apple locks down devices preventing them from being fully utilized. I’m expecting the Vision to be just as locked down as iOS. What I would like to see is Valve take this on with a device as hackable as the Steam Deck.
Don’t tase me drone!
Of course they are, but fining someone $24,000 for behaving rudely, even repeatedly, on the radio is far far worse. And so many amateur radio enthusiasts support these absolutely draconian punishments, which is damaging the reputation of the hobby.

Some more information on this particular case on Reddit, there is a backstory to it as well:
https://old.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/13w384h/fcc_f...
Reddit should be free to implement whatever policy it wants to do as long as it is legal.

If people can make full fledged client apps that rake in millions of dollars that need corporate structures around it, they can certainly take that pull and build communities that offer Reddit like experience (I mean, you have the UI built already right?) without the Reddit like bullshit.

So what if reddit decides its data is valuable to itself and it doesn't want to share it on your terms?

Maybe you can capitalize on your position as it is right now and strategize your way around it.
I think you’re still anthropomorphizing LLMs too much by saying the problem is a lack of curiosity. It’s an engineering problem: you haven’t figured out the correct “context” from which business requirements would follow. (And why Microsoft is so incredibly well positioned for the future)
Off topic, but I have to ask. What do you have against Kelvin?
Are you able to back up the claim that ChatGPT code, when refined and deployed to production, is more buggy than code that is patchworked together by 10-20 stack overflow posts until something sticks?

Fair enough, if I had got that Intel one I would probably have a similar opinion. The power brick I have is about the size of the small Lenovo travel power supplies, maybe about 25% of that Intel one, at a guess without seeing it in person.

It's definitely smaller than 1/3 the volume of the unit unless I have a incredibly small form factor rather than an ultra small form factor unit? But I don't think so. It is very small.
It's because Apple is a (top) hardware company (and a software one) and they have years of experience at it. Meta is a software company; they could become a hardware company, but that doesn't happen in just a few years.
Ok lets play this game, here is another russian speaking interesting things:

This "Apple DNA" provides both advantages and disadvantages. The Apple Vision has a shell of metal & glass. On a product where weight is super important. How many grams could be shaved if they used plastic instead?
Is it an obvious side effect of limited resources? I thought it was an obvious side effect of the lack of any need or desire to maintain fairness.
Pretty sure if I have my headset on and I'm in the middle of the room with my kids, I'm not a "hip father" doing cool shit with my kids. Consider if this was someone on a phone in the kitchen discussing something. We wouldn't think, "how progressive this person is to have work conversations while mostly ignoring his kids."

Granted, as a parent, the scene of the airline person upset that there is a kid on the flight is... off putting. To the extreme. Especially when the response is "ugh, thank goodness I can turn off all visual senses around me." SMH

And I am struggling to see any UI design/consideration that was new in this clip. Do you have a rundown on exactly what was amazing?
Drones as first responders seems like a great idea, get info, keep officers safe, even suspects/victims are safer as a result. They are already being used in the field today.

But I can also quickly see this slipping into a surveillance state kind of system as drone automation becomes cheaper and more reliable. Drones being sent out for all sorts of minor grievances and being used to stalk citizens. Which is not the sort of environment I want to live in.
bitcoin peaked at 20k in 2017. it is only up 30 percent to 26k. QQQ is up a lot more. over 5.5 years of weak performance. The major problem with bitcoin are the huge declines like in 2018 and 2022. It stopped going up as much anymore either like it did in 2013 or 2017.
You claim it's safer. I'm curious if you can support that.

Not to be argumentative, but what you're saying doesn't fit my firsthand experience as someone who wandered the neighborhood pretty freely as a child and whose own kids didn't. My kids lives occurred in a different context from mine and I never criticized them, just sought to understand the forces at play driving a different set of choices and outcomes.
100% agree. I'd say JXL is going to be the closest thing we get to a universal image format for quite some time. Almost completely superior to JPEG/PNG/GIF/WebP/etc. and clearly superior to AVIF in basically every way except very low bitrates and animation (which... just use HTML5 video with AV1 webms, what are you even doing?).

Oh, and adoption rates, but considering JXL's standard was finalized less than a year ago and it's already gotten support in so many things and from so many large companies, I really don't see any way that it fails other than Google abusing their monopolistic position in the browser engine space. The people arguing against adding support for a brand new codec because it doesn't magically have 100% support is circular reasoning and feels very disingenuous considering WebP and AVIF were never held to the same standard.
seriously man :D
Eh, obviously all else being the same 360 would be better - but it’s a lot easier to make 3D camera rigs and streams that at 180 degrees.

People also probably don’t realize just how much bandwidth this takes. You need enough to stream to both 4K eyes along with enough buffer space wherever the head can turn so that there isn’t a delay when you move your head. A good portion of the world doesn’t have fast enough internet for that.
Umm, OK. Funny that's not how it's been marketed. But I'm baffled as to how cryptocurrency is better for doing that than all of the other ways of doing that.
> Google can never make a good piece of software,

I like Gmail. It started out good, and hasn't yet collapsed under all the features they've been throwing at it. Although recently I've been getting these brief freezes when I'm typing ... the end may be near.
That's amazing on the level of refusal to answer a simple question.
Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

> There isn't, and the SEC has already been sued about their failure to provide it.

Is https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/67273468/in-re-coinbase... the suit in question? Based on the petition for rulemaking you linked, the SEC's response, and Coinbase's reply, there is a bait-and-switch going on here. Coinbase is asking for a change in how regulations apply to cryptocurrencies, while trying to position this as "merely" asking for a clarification. Or, in short, the rules are clear, Coinbase just doesn't like them.
Sure but I would feel weird with a camera up in the air unless I totally trust that it is up because of an ongoing crime. Can you trust that? What if the camera hangs around "just in case"? How can you check? Will be police department obligated to disclose this or will they have a legal excuse to neither confirm nor deny?
If that was the case, it would just be a matter of properly segmenting the users into the right price brackets. When I looked into Twitter's pricing I could either pay $100/month for fewer tweets than I can get using the free API, or $42000/month (hilarious number by the way, Elon).
There are still too many investors who remember the debt crisis in the 80s and Argentina's more recent crisis and subsequently treat LATAM like it has the plague. That and a history of various governments seizing assets for the state.

It also doesn't help their situation any that LATAM is hot for crypto assets either.

The compute accelerator story on mainstream, non-patched Linux, with upstream software isn't that good at the moment. You're going to be waiting a while before you can do fun stuff like organize layers across the Neural Engine and GPU for ML models, something CoreML can do today. Compute using graphics APIs exists, but it isn't really the same and loses out on many features people practically want and are used to, and it moves forward much more quickly than graphics APIs e.g. Nvidia just released Heterogeneous Memory Management as stable in the open source GPU driver for x86. The Linux accelerator ecosystem in practice is just held together by Nvidia's effort, honestly.

We really need something like Mesa, but for compute accelerator APIs. I'm really hoping that IREE helps smooth out parts of the software stack and can fill in part of this, but the pieces aren't all put in place yet. You'll need the GPU for a substantial amount of accelerator work regardless of Neural Engine support.

I disagree that there is nothing lacking on these machines with Asahi, I still run into small nits all the time (from 16k page sizes biting back to software missing features). But my M2 Air is 100%, no-questions-asked usable as a daily driver and on-the-go hacking machine, it is fast as hell and quiet, it has nested virtualization and is the only modern ARM machine on the market, and I love it for that.
For any normal company yes a home run, but small in relative terms to what Apple has now become

What kind of features did you have in mind?

If it’s just a list of windows and the time of day, that’s possible in a terminal multiplexer like GNU Screen, although setting it up is unintuitive.

Some people treat Emacs as it’s own operating system in the terminal.
You recall that incorrectly :) The NeXT purchase came first, Jobs as CEO came after that. But yeah, it was a bit of a reverse takeover in a way.

Tasers absolutely do not reduce police shootings. In fact, they increase police violence. Instead they’re used — frequently in violation of official police policy — as compliance devices. In other words, if you’re found guilty of contempt of cop, you ride the lightning.

The problem with cops aren’t the tools. The problem with cops are the cops.

Nativity scenes, as well as the countless number of icons and statues seen in Catholicism and Orthodoxy, would count as a form of idol worship under strict interpretation of Abrahamic religious texts too. So yes, you are wrong.
Yup. "We disagree." Not "and here's why."

"And registration is hard, or costs money or effort, so it's bad."
I've found the opposite to be true, actually. I'd prefer it in the hands of someone more experienced.

Real world example: Hey chatgpt, write me some Camel routes to take an input off of a JMS queue, wire it up to the camel salesforce getSObject endpoint, use these headers for the lookup, and write some unit tests.

Actual result: Code that is 99% correct, but messed up a couple of parameters and used a slightly wrong approach to mocking some things in the unit test. Having used all of the frameworks extensively, it took ~5 minutes to fix and certainly saved time. Partially because I'm used to reviewing code from people who make similar mistakes.

I can't imagine that working out as well if it was a truly junior engineer (not just a junior in name only) who didn't understand what was going on with the code very well.

And this is just the beginning. It is hard to imagine not using this for the bulk of the work within a few years.
Why would Discord want to do that? I get why we, as people, want that; I do not get why Discord, as a company, would want their platform less sticky. "You have to have an account we can track before we let you get an answer" is all but a literal goal for them.
I'm no historian, but I'm pretty sure that storing food for hard times is something humans have done at least since the invention of pottery.
While you don't understand the use cases, I (and probably many others) do understand and appreciate them. And that's ok! No one is forced to buy this device, just like no one is forced buy any new innovative technology.

To me, Apple Vision has great implications for work, gaming, and other entertainment. The fact that I can use it sitting in any comfortable position, and interacting with the screen the way I want is a good enough selling point. Gone are the days where I have to hold this heavy slab in my hands and type awkwardly on this small keyboard.

For simple web browsing, reading ebooks, I don't need sit in front of my disk (back pain) and stare at my statically placed monitor (neck pain)
> had a big influence on JSON too!

It might have influenced Javascript, but the entire idea in JSON is to have a data exchange syntax that can be plonked into Javascript as a literal. That requirement leaves room for no other influence, pretty much.
I read them and concluded that Bitcoin fits currency very well.

While googling those terms I also found that gold is defined as a currency in the open market.

This article had the opposite of its intended effect on me. Longtermism seems like pretty sound thinking. I don't know why the article calls it a religion, it just seems like a good idea.
It’s like QR codes too. First it was invented… but no phone platform supported it natively, then WeChat in China built a platform and ecosystem within phone platforms and bundled a QR code reader which made it take off in China, then something like 10 years later Apple adds QR scanning to the camera app and we get pervasive QR codes finally. Saying “nobody uses it” is a copout if you are a de-facto monopoly.
>The "subplebbit" owner acts like the operator of a Mastodon or Matrix instance

- Mastodon and lemmy instances can delete your account/community data (they own your data), on plebbit you own your data, it's on your device and you seed it P2P, community owners cant delete it

- Mastodon and lemmy instances can block you from accessing and interacting with other instances through their client, which forces you to use multiple clients to interact with all instances you want, on plebbit, the client accesses all content directly and p2p, community owners can't block you from accessing any content. You only have to use a single client.

- Mastodon and lemmy instances require a domain name, a static, public HTTP endpoint, an SSL certificate, DDOS protection to run. All which are complicated to set up, cost money, sometimes require KYC, sometimes require the command line and linux. Your server, domain, ssl and ddos protection provider are intermediaries that delete/block your account.

Whereas plebbit is a GUI executable like a bittorrent client, you download it, open it, that's it, you're done. No payments, no kyc, no command line, no config, no intermediaries that can shut down your account.

> because cars are dangerous machines that can cause severe harm to someone if they are driven improperly

Okay, pick another example of licensure to protect natural resources, since we probably won’t be able to get away from the “cars are dangerous” distraction.

Take fishing licenses, for example. Catching undersized lobster can net someone thousands in fines and possible jail time. Is this okay? If we seize their boat and traps, is that enough to guarantee they won’t do it again and discourage copycats?

> so that the general public can use spectrum it legitimately owns

One of the things covered in the license material you seem to feel is unnecessary is that amateur operators are secondary users on many bands and do not have an exclusive right to use those frequencies. Both the 33cm ISM band (900 MHz) and the 13cm band (2.4 GHz) are shared with unlicensed applications in a similar way to what you describe. If you want to use VHF, grab a MURS radio. UHF? Pick up an FRS radio. While those services do not overlap with amateur frequencies, it’s the same experience. What exactly are unlicensed users missing out on?
Unfortunately, Apple machines are usually 4 - 10 times more expensive, making this choice still quite difficult.
Your question isn't the question you should be asking.

Please answer the question:

How is reddit supposed to prevent scraping when it is legal to do so, and they have incentive to appear in search engines? Considering that scraping is legal and WILL happen, why not opt to reduce the load by offering an API?
No one said Bitcoin is a security...The issue is that howey test might be too old to work on cryptos.
Makes you want to use powerline Ethernet for everything, which happens to stomp on the HF radio bands. Perfectly legal to install and use, a nice replacement for all those trailing cables.

Yes, civil disobedience is how these draconian rules get changed, assuming everyone does it. Notice ham antennas down the road? Then get some powerline Ethernet adapters, ensure they are fully regulatory approved for the country you are in.

And that is perfectly legal civil disobedience too, which is likely to cause utter hell for that amateur operator, who likely supports this draconian punishment for such a trivial matter.
None of those posts except the last looks like taunting the SEC to me, but rather keeping the public and their customer base in particular up to date on a live regulatory issue that may present a risk to their business. That is the type of thing the SEC requires (at least of publicly traded companies) not discourages.

This is why I dont understand all the doomerism. If Apple is totally bullshitting here, we're going to find out extremely quickly, which will undoubtedly harm their reputation in the space when it comes to the next generations.

If they weren't confident it works almost as magically as its described, it would not have been shown.
This is pretty wild, and I can see pretty cool gaming consequences.

Step 1: Have some stable diffusion model generate an image for your character

Step 2: Use DragGAN or some other model to animate the 2d image

Step 3: Use Nvidia's Neuralangelo to turn the animated 2d image into a proper 3d model

Step 4: Use the model at the bottom of this article to rig an animation skeleton for your model using only text input like "swing a sword while running forward".
Certain company that commented on the thread already turned their image processing pipelines to use jpeg xl instead, given the significant bandwidth savings. Now all they got is the significant hole in budgets since it may never pay off.

We can't know how many are using jpeg xl since there is no available metrics to find out.
Yeah, but let's be real. I 100% believe in the big picture theory of crypto, but it's not at all unreasonable for the parties in charge to see what's actually happening to real people and to be like "this is NOTHING but scams."

I don't have a lot of sympathy for whingeing about "the SEC is treating us unfairly." They're doing their job. If "crypto-at-large" wants to be an acceptable business thing, then it needs to better protect people from getting scammed; present regime of crypto things have nearly absolutely failed at this.
