I believe that the only way the fediverse avoids naturally centralising forces long term is if the value of federating with the network is too big for anyone to give up. The value of the network increases with the number of participants.

Defederating from any service prepared to federate needs to be a really extreme measure taken rarely for the network to build the strength it will need to weather the centralising forces that will come.

For better or worse, modern society has oriented around smartphone apps in day to day life so you have an Apple/Google duopoly.
Counterpoint: "playing with it" is the only way we have to actually master something. "Carefully and thoughtfully deploying it" only comes way after many people first extensively played with it (for any specific "it"), first because of curiosity (i.e. for shits and giggles), then for a quick buck.

No, security on the fact that when thieves break into my office, they leave the Apple computers because they know they are just dead weight with zero resale value.

They grab all of the other hardware though, the ones with no protections.
I mean that when you use the mac with the stolen disk, the status would still be "stolen".

Apple already have an owner-transfer service that I've used many times, the problem is how this would work if someone passed away.

It would make sense to disable some features, even if it's still in "stolen" status, so that it's not completely wasted.
Comparing with the weight of a soul at 21 grams [1] would put the information content of a soul at 4.7652×10^13 TB (terabytes) [2]. Assuming neural storage is less efficient would suggest that this is an overestimate.

FYI, I don't believe any of this. Just putting it out there for science.

If your surroundings are sufficiently noisy, it becomes noise instead of something distracting that you have to pay attention to. Eg, food courts are like this. Get everybody to make way more noise
Is this prompt generation for the purposes of prompt engineering? Is this then a kind of meta engineering? Engineering for the purposes of engineering which then hopefully will generate working code for the computer that generated the prompt and the response to the prompt.
Process should be improved at those companies and/or the recycling firms should refuse Apple products that are still activation locked. It will slow down process; but, it is an appropriate route.

As for dead people, a death certificate + 40 days (or a longer waiting period) should be sufficient, imo.
> Why do admins get a say in who their users follow in the first place?

Why does anyone?

Reddit mods, Fediverse maintainers, corporate social media. This whole "curate and censor" bamboozle is antithetical to the internet I grew up on. The most upsetting part is that so many folks today are happy about this status quo and delight in the fact that their opposition gets canceled or de-platformed. All it takes is one political pendulum swing for the cheerleaders to become the oppressed.

Social media needs to be P2P. Not centralized, not federated, and not controlled.

End users should have complete autonomy over who they follow, who they (de-)boost, and how their filter/attention algorithm works.

Users should have the capability to share their { follow, block, boost, mute } lists with others, but it should be optional and not something mandated from the top by a third party.

I thought that 10ns was too coarse, when most PLL-based GPSDO get much higher accuracy with 8-bit ADCs. But maybe that just doesn't matter enough when the input jitter is very high to begin with.
> if only people knew what they were giving up by using closed sourced mobile devices they would all be using PinePhones

not what I'm saying. It's not about closed vs open source but closed vs open platforms.

I think if people understood the real level of control Apple actually has over their lives by completely controlling every bit of software their phone is allowed to execute .... at least some of them would probably look to at least keep their options open. Of course, as long as Apple behaves benevolently, nobody will really notice this. But being a corporation controlled by money and shareholders, even if staying benevolent is a promise Apple wants to make it actually isn't one they can guarantee to keep.
Probably 100% if you count by household, as chances are that even your digital toothbrush runs the Linux kernel.

I think we're past the sweet spot, things are starting to go "casual user", you only need to check what Ubuntu and Fedora are pushing,in a way the "windows ification" of Linux: gnome 3/4,systemd+,snapd,telemetry etc.
I think the point is not (just) data protection, but also to discourage theft by making them useless if stolen.

Apple is doing the right thing here.

This might be avoided if our justice system was willing and able to go after these thieves, despite their relatively low-value crimes.

For over 20 years Linux has been my main desktop OS and also my profession. And I hope the year of the Linux desktop never comes. Why? Because I've seen what happened with other niche hobbies of mine that went mainstream. Once the money started pouring in and the race for market share took over the priorities changed drastically from enthusiast hobby to whatever brought one more ounce of commercial success. This already happened to the server side of Linux which has become a pile of over-complicated unstable undocumented mess.

Desktop Linux has reached perfection IMHO. People complain about too many distros, package formats, desktop environments, init managers, audio servers and so on. I just love it, I pick and choose whatever I like and I like pretty weird things. I have excellent support and QA from community disto packaging - my Arch install is over 10 years old and I never had to do anything to it besides tinkering for fun. My Debian private server requires 30 minutes every 2 years to switch to the new release. The documentation is heavenly. The commercial offerings (that run on Linux) that pay my bills aren't even in the same league. Neither is Windows or Mac.

I want Linux to remain an enthusiast OS. It's not good for my parents, my non-tech friends, and maybe it's not good for you either. That's not a bad thing and I do not want it to change.

They keep making these articles because your points are irrelevant to the discussion here. People want Linux desktop market share, because they know what the more market share Linux gains, the better the experience will be (more testing, more apps ported, etc.) Nobody who is cheering on the 3% number is going to be satisfied by obscure facts like "Android is Linux" (it isn't to the users of locked-down phones) and "Servers run Linux" (does that matter in the slightest to the person loading the webpage?)

> The whole point of Activation Lock is to ruin the resale value of stolen Apple products.

Software-locked products are just be broken up and/or sold for parts[0] - so thieves will only be slightly less motivated. The downside is donated and estate sale M1 mainboards will be condemned to the trash heap. Less technical people are also more likely to throw the whole computer away.

0. I do this already to feed my repair addiction. I buy from my favorite charity thrift store, so the goods are not likely not stolen. A device with cracked screen can be fixed by parts from an activation-locked device.
If that's true, then OpenAI has probably taken extreme protective measure to ensure the secret is well protected. Even if OpenAI is big enough to make deals, they probably did not spend several years making deals with all of them.

It's, however, very interesting to see if they fund efforts to massively (re)start books digitalisation.
This is mentioned in the second sentence of the linked article.
For the impact someone should compare before and after activation lock is launched.

> Decoherence solves the preferred basis problem, not the hard problem of consciousness.

Ok, I guess I misunderstood the scope of "There's also nothing special about observing."

It's not clear to me if you (MWI) would say that rocks had defined positions when nobody was observing them - or whether the question of things having definite positions (and the very existence of those things) wouldn't even make sense in the absence of consciousness.
So again, it's not the mega corporation that is greedy, it's the poor. Wow!

That's the exact problem with mastodon and the reason I'm sticking with twitter. Self-righteous people censoring the shit out of an open platform. All the defederation talk did a lot of damage imho. Plus a lot of badly working instances performance-wise. Mastodon has had it's moment imho and the people behaving as outlined above destroyed it. It's just not fun and quite dead for me. My crowed just isn't on mastodon.
There's a huge market for second hand Macs and iOS devices. I've bought a few and never had an issue with activation lock, because the seller just deactivates it before selling.

The only people who have an issue with activation lock are people who want to resell devices from questionable sources.

I guess one pro to the lack of end user repairability, due everything being soldered to the mainboard, is that the majority of components are permanently affixed to the bricked ssd and security chips.

Neither Proof of Work nor Proof of State would actually help. A human can always choose to operate based upon a script. All it shows is that a human signed off on it at some point. Removing privacy wouldn't help matters either. /At best/ you would get chilling effects combined with warmed over classism as the poorer are the most likely to be tempted into selling their certs and therefore "poor = shill".
But is it worth it if we create more electronic waste because of it? I somewhat like the idea of the activation lock system, because it makes the devices unattractive for stealing it. On the other hand it creates more unnecessary waste (at least they way Apple implemented it).

A way to unlock them should be provided. Report the serial to apple, they try to inform the owner by mail and/or push and after a 30 days grace period it should be unlocked. Another benefit of such a system is that it might even help to locate stolen devices.
I'm having a hard time believing that these measures are by any means preventing theft. The scene with a thief going "oh no, it's an Apple device! I am not gonna steal it" is almost comical.

Devices will be stolen anyway and scrapped/dropped instead.

PSA: Enable Bitlocker and LUKS on your devices, folks. Your device is 100% going to be targeted now.
They aren't stolen, but it's also not fair to blame Apple for bricking them. These are most likely sold by schools and companies in bulk as they replace them for newer models. The sad truth is that "No, these aren't bricked, the seller just couldn't be bothered resetting them".

Don't blame Apple for the MacBooks being scrapped, blame the organisations that resell them without resetting them because they really don't care if they are refurbish or just dumped in the landfill. Apple made a perfectly good anti-theft solution and now people are upset that they forgot to ask for these devices to be unlocked before buying them.

If these buyers are truly that upset about the environmental impact, send them to Apple and let Apple recycle them... But we all know that they won't be doing that, because what they are upset about is losing money.

> That implies the officer has the support of the moneyed class

Who do you think is walking through the city and driving to work? The idle rich?

The joyriding criminal was in a $100k car, he was hardly a worker.

You've got the class situation exactly backwards.

> It is entirely possible that the shooting of Nahel Merzouk was completely legal and the law says there should be no repercussions for the officer who shot him.

The people of France, and everywhere else, want the police to stop criminals from joyriding through their neighborhoods.

> That's rather the problem: the people, it seems, are tired of the arrangement the law presents and feel powerless to change it.

No, the rioters aren't "the people". They're generally also child criminals and race-baiters (his mother) and they're just upset that one of them got the consequences of his dangerous actions.

The vast majority of the population, including pretty much the entirety of the working class, do not support the riots or the rioters or the criminal.
Surely most employers use IQ which varying degrees of effectiveness?

I expect in most settings IQ 100-140 is very hard to guess from an interaction. Harder if there is a specific field being assessed where someone has experience/training.

But everyone will pick up IQ <90 almost immediately and that's not even necessarily abnormally low just borderline.

Hmm so that would be a system being out of equilibrium but in a "negative" direction, which is nonsense since any amount of non-equilibrium is a positive amount of free energy.

So, I don't understand any of the math in that paper but is there any easy/intuitive way to explain why a higher information density would require negative free energy?

I guess I need to understand the relationship between information density and free energy first. Hmm.
I think the main reason for using activation lock is to make stolen products worthless. If there's a way to use stolen devices, then they'll be worthwhile to steal.

Personally, I think this is a terrible analogy.

In my opinion, the problem is not Atmos, it's the lack of head-tracking. That's why it can sound awesome on a calibrated surround speaker setup but usually fails to deliver on headphones.

I once built a wwise plugin that allows you to play Atmos and the likes on a Oculus with proper Headphone Surround 3D and everyone agreed that it was fantastic. But those consumer $0.01 ASICs integrated into mainboards obviously can't compete with a solution that has more sensors and GHz of compute available.
With respect I was trying to point out quietly that I've heard that kind of distro-jingoism for 20 years and the failure to appreciate another person's distro of choice to the point where you think nobody should ever be using it is just a bit silly.

> That’s not to be minimized. Sounds like very much on the critical path, and definitely not some shitty infotainment sidecar. If that crashed, you couldn’t control core functions of the sub? Are there overrides?

Sure, it's an important component of the entire system. Much as a steering wheel is an important component of a car, it still doesn't "run" the car. You need to interface, yes obviously; but if the machine crashes the sub operates merrily along like usual and any of the other control computers can continue to give it commands.

As to overrides, if you lost every single control computer and the direct interfaces (the analog control boards you see in crucial areas of naval vessels) then the overall system has a fallback procedure. It's not documented or public knowledge, but assumedly it would surface and activate an emergency beacon as the vessel is crippled (and likely damaged) at that point.
Apple has no incentive to address the issue, as it would upset the original owners. Also, an unlocked device may be resold, resulting in a lost future sale.

Given Apple's limited responsiveness to customer pressure, the best approach may be to involve the original owners in finding a solution. This may involve ensuring that all owners are aware of the problem and providing a simple way to erase the hard drive and set up a generic account and password. Simplicity is key. Additionally, offering a small token of appreciation, such as a Starbucks gift card, could be a nice gesture to those who participate.
