Sure, the US has absolutely worked with despotic regimes to do bad things.

Providing token aid to a sovereign country being invaded by an objective enemy aggressor is not that.
They wouldn't have to. Unless you use an iDevice you're not using an Apple made browser. (The content blocker API is WebKit so it's used across multiple browsers)

As for revenue from Apple users, they already want to have control over that and would be more than happy if Google and co voluntarily stopped serving their users so they can make ad money off of them on their own terms.
Well, I think it's quite interesting on its own. I don't really think about songwriters when I listen to music, if I'm honest, but this particular fact does interest me.

Is it because there are fewer women songwriters? Is songwriting mostly dominated by a few superstars? Is it because women write specific kinds of songs?

Lots of follow-ups I'm curious about. Just out of idle curiosity, not because of some war waging. Obviously the website does have some strange things like "Women only get to write x% of songs". We're in an incredibly democratized era for music so they can write and have someone perform whatever they want and put it on Spotify.

Discoverability is a problem, and I miss Amie.st that rewarded you for being early to recommend a good song.
Google earns money on all the ads on all those trash websites. So their immediate incentive is to drive traffic to them regardless of the longer-term reputation cost.
We are not doomed. The climate is changing but we can still adapt. We can still lower emissions. We can still remove GHG from the atmosphere

Doomerism is an awful mindset to have. It’s difficult to feel this way but there’s still a lot of hope and a lot of amazing people working on this.

There is certainly lots of pain ahead. My home nation will be underwater by 2100s, lots of animal species will go extinct, but we are not doomed.
Is this an opportunity to apply some Howard Marks "second level thinking" to make a big investment bet?

There is one thing I'm not quite clear on here:

>The attestation is a low entropy description of the device the web page is running on.
>The attester will then sign a token containing the attestation and content binding (referred to as the payload) with a private key.
>The attester then returns the token and signature to the web page.
>The attester’s public key is available to everyone to request.

I'm assuming "attester" here means "hardware authenticator." How is the attestation low entropy if it's presumably signed by a key that is unique & resident to my device? There is nothing higher entropy than a signature w/ "my" private key. That is literally saying "I [the single universal holder of the corresponding private key] signed this attestation." These days that key is realistically burned into my device at manufacturing time, and generally even if I can enroll keys on "my" device (big if), there is a very limited number of keyslots on hardware authenticators. Certainly not enough slots to present a random throwaway identity to each webpage.

I don't understand how you can have public/private key crypto as the basis for attestation and also have privacy? The two seem mutually exclusive. Is the private key supposed to be shared among a large cohort? (Which seems rather unwise, as it would make the blast radius of a compromised key disastrously huge.)
I never had a proper console when it first came out, but I recently played through all three (there are relatively recent remastered editions) at my wife's insistence. They are, indeed, quite good. I really enjoyed the storylines and loved chasing down every side mission I could.

I was pretty disappointed when I finally hit the end. I tried Andromeda, but it just lacked something and I got bored pretty quickly.
Myst. The first game that completely captivated me and represented to me such an enormous leap forward in computer gaming.

I don't mind all the climate change talk. But I do mind the symptoms curing. The best people can come up with are fucking electrical cars and artificial meat. Because we too many fucking people to serve natural foods.

What the fuuuck is wrong with us?

I might sound pessimistic but I don't have any faith in humanity as for saving the world. Absolutely none.

Very few are willing to sacrifice what it really takes to adjust. And I get that. It would probably mean we needed to kill a few billion in the west, india and far east. Who wants to join that lottery?

No way.

I want my car, my fairly big house, two kids, my fridge and my flights out when it's cold.

Let it burn for all I care. I hope it will. Because deep inside i know the earth will prevail. Its just a matter of how many humans it will take along with it.

This functionality could probably be done with an iPhone or iPad and MFi today, if not a small form factor computer of some sort, or a Pi or Arduino.
Larry Bird is probably the real Einstein equivalent because he was great as a college player, NBA player, head coach, and team executive. Oppenheimer may not have been the genius of Einstein or von Neumann, but there's no telling that either of those guys would have had the ability to drive the kind of program management results that Oppenheimer did, right? Competence and capability span domains, it's not always productive to isolate one's capability within a single "vertical" of achievement.

Shenmue, my first experience of full reactive eyes entertainment.
The Biggest issue I have with Phoronix is that all the charts need to list the processors' advertised clock speeds and for the M2 SOC that's around 3.4GHZ while the x86 processors have much higher clocks that run from the base clock up to the boost clock but have some average sustained boost clock behavior on different workloads. And the x86 processors are clocked on average about 2 GHz higher there than the M2 SOC.

But this testing is more about the Linux Driver maturity on the Apple silicon hardware and no games or Blender 3D testing was done there probably because 3D acceleration support on Linux for Apple Silicon is still a work in progress. There is all sorts of Specialized Heterogeneous compute IP on the M series SOCs
and the Linux OS developers will take years more getting all that supported if they can ever get that done completely.

It's no surprise you're disinterested in the meaning of "open source" given how much you misuse "everyone".
No joke, I just discovered Cookie Clicker a couple of weeks ago (sorry, I guess I’ve been under a rock) and it struck me that CC is a greatly distilled and simplified version of Diablo and pretty much all ARPGs. Perform some action to get resources to get a thing that will let you collect more resources that will let you get a better thing etc. A dopamine factory.

The differences are just implementation details and art/style/setting.
For what it's worth, the expansion does a number of things to really create the feeling of playing the base game again. Highly recommended.

You see a similar loosening of the term in other fields e.g. open source journalism. Although that seems to be more about crowdsourcing than transparency or usage rights.

My GPT answer was: Imagine you have a big box of colorful building blocks, and you want to create something specific, like a house or a car. But you have some rules or constraints that you need to follow in order to complete your creation. Constraint modeling is like playing with those building blocks, but with rules. It helps you figure out how to build something while following certain restrictions. These restrictions could be things like the size or shape of the blocks you can use, how they can fit together, or even how many blocks you have to use. So, constraint modeling is like a game where you have to solve puzzles using your building blocks, but you have to follow certain rules to complete the puzzle. It helps you think logically and creatively to build something amazing!
I'm a Florida native and have paced at Badwater. I think it was around 110F when we were in furnace creek in 2015; it was like being in a convection oven with the wind blowing. I can't fathom another 10 degrees while the sun is gone.

You're right a bit on A, but not for the reasons you state.

US education has trouble teaching about the environments/state-of-affairs/'climate' that lead to a historical event; they tend to focus on the event itself almost primarily.

So, while I might easily give you 5 'Manhattan-project' associated scientist names from my US education -- many people could -- I do have trouble recounting the specific discoveries/test/discussions/meetings/collaborations/etc that lead up to each small accomplishment that was then later poured into the Manhattan Project -- and I think that that's understandable; a public education is incomplete -- too much stuff needs to be done, and the student has a small expectation to further their own studies and complete the picture.

It's also a matter of regional public education and the biases present. Japanese education tends to minimize the scientific achievement of the Manhattan Project; American text-books tend to minimize our loss in Vietnam -- it would be entirely unsurprising to me if your local regional education system focused on the collaboration and contribution to the (very-early) not-Manhattan Project if it represents a facet of local culture that provides pride in the accomplishment.

American culture is pretty obviously proud of the Manhattan Project results, so we hear more about our personal contributions than we hear about other groups roles; it seems perfectly obvious to me -- and it seems like exactly the same scenario abroad; pride in the local accomplishments that contributed to The Bomb.
Hardly, it’s cherry picked in the other direction to favor local production due to the extreme distances involved. Compare veggies grown in Spain and shipped to London and the advantage is even later, but the distances are less impressive.
They wouldn't have gotten a fair price otherwise.
Borderline personality disorder: a spurious condition?
Integer arithmetic is really quantized logarithmic complexity. If your hardware has a bucket your number fits into, you're calculating n+1 or nxn in constant time. But if your data set doubles in size (especially for multiplication) you may find yourself in a bucket that doesn't exist or a more expensive one. Contemporary code is more likely to reach for bignum which is logn, but again stairstepped to each number of integers it takes to represent the entire number. A bigger problem when your data set is sparse, so that values grow faster than population (eg, UUID).

But on the topic of hash tables, you can only reach 'O(1)' if you can avoid collisions. And to avoid collisions you need a key of length m, which grows as n grows. You cannot put 51 pigeons in 50 pigeonholes. So the key length of your hash keys is m >= logn, which means the time to compare keys is also logn, which means hash tables are never actually O(1) access or insert time. Actual access time for a hash table on non-imaginary hardware is √nlogn, not O(1).

If you consider that we have applications that are just a single hash table occupying the entire RAM of a single machine, then this is not picking nits. It's capacity planning.

Google appears to be significantly more useful than GPT-4 here. [1] is the third result for me for the query "credit card jvm".

All of this is just as easy as, if not easier than, using ChatGPT. It's unclear that such a tool even serves this purpose (retrieval of basic facts) adequately, so it should probably be avoided in the future.
I noticed that too. What does it mean? That demand is sinking or that costs are going down?
I don't understand how people can praise the game design of Dark Souls and then say that Elden Ring is better. Elden Ring is the trashy mass appeal cousin.

* Most major bosses are gimmicky

* The open world encourages running past everything across pretty but boring fields and eschewing interesting level design

* The platforming is goofy and bad and relies heavily on awkwardly not dying as you fall vague heights

* There's a huge amount of tedious content. And you're highly likely to encounter enemies that are genuinely too strong for your character that just kind of shits on you for exploring the wrong way; or likewise content that you arrive at and are disappointed to find it's pointlessly easy.

The game was still good but it would have been much better if they cut out 3/4 of the mini dungeons, chopped the map area in half, and put more love and effort into the legacy dungeons.

Completely (too?) ahead of its time on a lot of fronts, from its sandbox, open-world design to social economy, deep crafting and the MMO game tech itself.

Restoring from backup doesn't mean you actually have to use it - just prepare it in case you need it. Since this can take time, starting such a restore early would be an insurance policy, if needed. If there are snapshots to apply after the last-known-good backup, all the better.
It doesn't matter that much they're not super accurate exact, they do in fact count ticks n tocks j dandy. I wonder if they are counted equally, interesting question if i do say so myself about my own question, i know rising edge is steady w the next rising edge, n falling edge w falling edge, but yeah...no i think that's a specification figure of merit, that they be balanced w respect to each other. N Intel® despite it's many failures, long ago forecast n long overdue due to the sheer difficulty of their business model n how long they kept it going--they were saying it was going to end soon in the late seventies already--n you know what, i'm fine w that. They don't make old chips rot like other software companies i could mention, bits rot but glass is timeless. Which brings me back to the point, in my analysis the problem is not the clocks being inaccurate but rather the jitter, which means a single run will not suffice in describing a repeatable exact clock time taken for eg an inner loop, which is what is worth bothering with. The minimum jitter attainable currently is 1 cycle, n then i guess you run the same code repeatedly n take the minimum with more repeatability as a consequence of that low jitter.

In the early nineties it was not so, you'd get the same number of clock cycles again n again n again.

N then it gets tricky because cycle counts are thresholds set within which, if voltages n frequency are proper, the operation will complete deterministically w a soft error rate no greater than the system as a whole, about one per 30 years of hammering on the chip at sea level. Which is not enough for my tastes, n the jitter is a fucking mess.

I much prefer the GA144, least jitter of any platform bar none, sensible because it is fully asynchronous logic, no clock anywhere in sight until you connect it to an oscillator, n even then the vibration doesn't rock the system like that of a grandfather clock synchs w another grandfather clock with whose pendulum's swing the former clock's pendulum swing is aligned. GA144 it's pretty easy to tell average case complexity of a function down to the tens of picoseconds, at which point you have to check that there's no open window letting a draft in. In fact the time trial will tell you such a draft is coming into the house, it happened to me, while not from a parallel universe in spacial dimensions it is by all means from another universe in the time dimension.

Disagree- you should stay until they fire you, collecting salary in the meantime while not working (except to study for a new job). It's basically getting paid not to work and they've already established you have until the end of the pip period.
I have three:

1) MS Flight Sim, starting with version 4 in 1989.

2) The entire Descent series from Parallax. Playing heads to head on 14.4k was a lot of fun. Later, Internet play became possible. Having bots jump out at you from nowhere lead to some nearly falling-out-of-chair-screaming moments!

3) Portal and Portal 2. The cake, was in fact, a lie.
This sort of materialistic prejudice is common today. Science is about sticking to proven facts and using strict logic when deriving new facts, but refusing to even consider new ideas isn't science, it's lowly prejudice and adherence to groupthink.
There are games where the final score is primarily based on taking as little time as possible (e.g. the Heroes of Might and Magic series, which had its debut around the same time as Diablo); this tends to keep exponential leveling mechanics in check.
The human body varies and it may also be 37.5C. Sick people even more. Might still want to use earphones. Ear canals get pretty close to core temp, as they're near the brain. If you're measuring 32C either you are in a cold environment or you might be misaiming (these things aren't that easy to use, or very accurate).

In a warmer climate, the delta gets even less. So yeah, it's a bit surprising that wearables aren't rated for body temperature.

> I wanted to express the fact that everything that gets allocated (call stack, frames, classes, and objects) is alive and valid until the "root" VM is, thus I used 'a more or less everywhere.

That's not being expressed in the type system. The lifetime 'a is unbounded (meaning you can make it anything you want, including 'static) so anything that shares 'a can outlive the vm without rust complaining. it would be no different then if you removed 'a completely. If you wanted to ensure anything couldn't outlive the vm you could tie the lifetime to a reference to the vm, but then the vm can't hold those values (it would be a self-referential lifetime).
Yeah Latin works too.

The purpose is people are swayed by fear and these anecdotes create fear. As much as I want us to do much more to tackle climate change, scaring ordinary people whose individual actions don't count for much is simply the media trying to make money. It's getting tired and annoying.

On the other hand, lobbying by big tech is still very much a threat.
