Dude, you're hiding behind an explicitly anonymous account throwing random personal attacks at people.

I literally had not heard about ejmr until this week.

Direct your anger at ejmr, they're the people who made bogus claims about anonymity while using tools they lack the most basic understanding of.

It also does not matter if it was some kind of personal "I hate this forum" or "I hate the creator". ejmr's anonymization was incompetently written, and screwed up the most basic usage of the most basic cryptographic primitives, and was using the wrong primitives in the first place.

The fact that we're hearing about this in a paper by a person you have declared to be on a vendetta is irrelevant - given that person is explicitly not a cryptographic specialist and was able to find that the ejmr posts were not anonymous means that the idea that no one else could have done so without publishing an academic paper is implausible.

As I have said elsewhere, ejmr's "anonymization" was so broken that even the attack itself was trivial (the article's author is an academic and would have absolutely made a separate publication on the deanonymization process if they could have).
Fits with spaceX though.

it's really not that simple

don't forget the reason people voted for the nazis in Germany was not because they believed in their values but because they seemed competent to change things to the better, while all established parties seemed to not be able to do so

this (in a roundabout way) then put them in a position where they could size the remaining power by force transition into the power which would later start WW2

And it's not just back then. For example today many "right wing" forces in Europe use that arguments too telling people about how they (supposedly) can fix all the issues if you just stop nitpicking about "enter moral/ethic discussion here" and it just because the other parties blocking them for "insert slang for someone overdoing ethical correctness" reasons. Sure all a lie and most thing they propose tend to fall into the category of "looks like it could work until you understand market dynamics a bit better" and similar but people still get tricked.

Just to be clear in some parts of the world there seems to be an issue with political correctness and over policing(A) opinions but this is not a reason to stop putting ethical reasons into the selection of you vote, because AFIK the moment people stop that thing will get way worse.

(A) Like from outside of the US the US seems to suffer from it, but then when looking at inner US news closer I'm not sure if it's an actual issue or just people highlighting the exceptional case instead of the norm and starkly over exaggerating problems.
Have you used Bank of America’s app? It is quite good.
> In Germany, we call such persons "geistige Brandstifter" for a reason.

The "there's a world for that in German" thing is probably a good (but obviously imperfect) inoculation against extremist propaganda.

I'm often frustrated that we don't have pithy little phrases specific to all kinds of bad behavior in English. It is easier to talk about things if they're given specific names.
Sounds like a pretty good argument that South Africa's previous regime should not have given up power.
Class 2 would be 9 to 10 kw. For reference 33 kw is around requires cables in the us roughly 1 - 3/4 inch conduit. Each piece of equipment requires its own circuit so you likely have multiple circuits in the conduit depending on code. All that said commercial cooking and refrigeration require a lot of power.

Going back to charging, for a circuit the size this would likely need your be looking at something with at least 3 1 inch wires, and would be at least 2.5 inches in diameter when packaged. It likely needs cooling too which means even more diameter.
See, this is the sort of hot take that you make if you haven't done either law or philosophy.

Using natural language, it is incredibly difficult to make unambiguous statements. For most of the twentieth century, the problem was regarded as so severe that analytic philosophers would encode their most important points in symbolic logic. And it's not like we have one symbolic logic here; there are literally dozens of higher-order logics, each with their own syntax, and some of which are mutually incompatible.

Meanwhile, complex, difficult-to-master conlangs such as Ikthuil and Lojban have flourished in pockets of the philosopherse simply because they provide, essentially, the kind of clarity that any basic programming language provides.

I can easily imagine AI/ML inertia, as OP wonders about, and I can also easily imagine forms of e.g. Lojban, Ikthuil, or a mishmash of several higher-order symbolic logics becoming the basis for a new ML-informed programming language, but if your imagination has you talking to the computer the way you'd talk to a subordinate, in English or some other natural language, then do I have a monkey's paw for you.

The word for government in most languages doesn't start with gov-, so no thanks.

I'd personally suggest the opposite, the US switching to .gov.us and .edu.us, but consensus in this thread seems to be that "everyone" already knows those are US-only anyway, where "everyone" of course means Americans; even "too late to change" is a better argument than that, IMO.
A big reason we have programming languages is because natural language is often ambiguous. ChatGPT does nothing to alter that.

It's like the joke:

The programmer's wife said: "Please go to the store and buy a carton of milk and if they have eggs, get a dozen."

He came back with 12 cartons of milk.

She said, "why did you buy twelve cartons of milk?"

He responds "they had eggs"

(there are rare features like this in some parsers, like dangling else, but they are considered design problems)
There was another one (census, maybe? can't recall which agency it was) using a .gd for a while, too... don't see it on the list anymore. Not sure who signed off on putting government services behind the "control" of a country we've invaded before.

an honest manufacturer would advertise the fuel economy you can expect day to day, rather than the fuel economy of a perfect test scenario.

> no need to exchange the key during authentication

The public key does need to be exchanged, along with a signature relating it to the current session. This is all handled by TLS, there is no need for the client to send the key in the application data.

> You still need to generate it and distribute it to the user

This approach avoids distributing secret key material at all. Private keys should ideally never move. They are generated randomly, used to derive the corresponding public key, and then persisted as appropriate. The public key is sent around to other parties.
You are downplaying the role of an emergency use authorization. "Reasonable belief" sounds experimental to me. Otherwise they would've had all the information needed for FDA approval, it wouldn't have been predicated on belief, and it wouldn't have been labeled emergency use.

Why are you so adverse to accepting the reality of the situation?

"The process for issuing an EUA is different than an FDA approval. Under an EUA, the FDA authorizes uses of medical products based on a reasonable belief that the product may be effective based on the best evidence available at the time, without waiting for all the information that would be needed for an FDA approval."[1]

Good luck. Pretty much anyone who "requires" a high school transcript as a prerequisite for anything will only accept them from an accredited school, or maybe from at least a recognized homeschool program.

If you're entirely homeschooling on your own, a transcript that looks like you created it in Microsoft Word is not going to go very far.
Considering how much bad and non-idiomatic code is out there for many popular languages, this could actually be an advantage for a new language.

> you're told lies: https://www.humanprogress.org/the-collapse-of-climate-relate...

I'll assume the figures in that article are true, but it's missing the point: people aren't talking about current deaths, but about future deaths. Climate change has the potential to globally upset weather patterns in such a way that compensating will be hard, and/or climate change will make entire areas unviable for habitation resulting in large migrations (which, historically, have been very disruptive). All of this is substantially different than "number of hurricane deaths of 1920 vs. 2021".

Furthermore, there are also examples where intervention did prevent famine, for example rationing during the second world war in some countries, and I'm sure there are more examples. But there are no dramatic "The famine of 1897 that didn't happen because of effective government measures" Wikipedia pages. You can "prove" anything by linking to some example where things spectacularly failed, but that doesn't really "prove" anything, certainly not for the generic case of all "government interventions".

And look, shutting off all fossil fuels from one day to the next would of course be sheer lunacy. But no one is really argueing for that, and what they are argueing for is replacing oil and other fossil fuels, ASAP.
Vulkan seems to be incomplete. Graphics drivers for Nvidia are a problem due to the project not accepting blobs, not signing NDAs. And today I had a problem installing matplotlib (ninja gave some error). AFAIK, tensorflow and/or python libs are a problem with *nix as well.

I have mixed feelings about roundabouts. Like, when done well they obviously work and they are even mildly entertaining to drive around when traffic is light but many towns slapped them in places where obviously there barely enough space for intersection, let alone roundabout and it is just awkward to drive around.

Solicitor certification of documents is a farce here in the UK. My mortgage company had me have a solicitor certify bank statements etc. I said I didn’t have paper copies. They said printed PDFs would to, and to get the solicitors to certify them. Madness.
What a terrible advice (sorry).
Great comments are not about "what does this code do?". They are about "why does it do it?".

In some domains like scientific or high performance computing they are absolutely necessary to a) provide context to others b) make you not forget c) prevent unintended consequences and regressions.

You reorder some operations or do seemingly weird things for improved performance, numerical stability, or address some not easily testable bug? If you don't comment it, this knowledge will be lost and someone might obliterate it during a refactor.
I mean, the amount of variables and risk one would have to be comfortable with to take their statements at face value and signup…you’d have to be some cartel. Ping ponging servers between semi-hostile borders? Talk about stressful availability.
This will be great. Hopefully it will be able to figure out that it should capitalize my last name, which is on my Contact card, and that of a dozen of my relatives. When I went to the Apple Store, they told me that I could either add a custom autocorrect to my library, or reset all settings. They did admit this was some sort of bug, and that it would be massive overkill to reset all settings (lose all wifi passwords, etc.).
Apple's not playing word games, because they didn't say "LLM". They said that autocorrect will use "a transformer language model, a state-of-the-art on-device machine learning language model for word prediction", which is a much more precise statement than what you attributed to them.

This sounds totally plausible. It will be a much smaller transformer model than ChatGPT, probably much smaller than even GPT-2.

IMO the main problem is the arbitrary way borders were drawn in Africa by colonialists. Too many ethnicities that didn't get along very well suddenly shared a common state, while others were split between many countries. When even much richer and educated areas have problems with multiculturalism of much smaller scale (the Balkans, Spain, Belgium for example), it's not surprising that countries like DR Congo with over 200 languages spoken are basically ungovernable through democratic means. The border situation isn't anywhere near as bad in South America and most of Asia - and even there countries which lack common national identity tend to be less stable than others.

Peaceful coexistence of many cultures within the same society is a nice idea, but in reality it's very hard to do right due to the tribal nature of our specie. Highly successful multicultural countries appear to be an exception, rather than a norm.

So the problem is that the "user gestures" break any JS that attempts to engage or disgage fullscreen on a video object.

Imagine!!!
...there eixsts an app that implements a playlist using video objects (.mp4s). This app will NOT be able to engage/disengage fullscreen in Chrome/Edge without some serious hacks.

Potential solution:
- Simply implement a brower setting that enables/disables user-gestures for specific URL(s).

Edge error:

"Does any other iOS browser have such feature?"

Thanks for sharing! I’m building an iOS app. I have no experience with Swift or React, so I thought Flutterflow would be a good place to start to get something out there.
From the comments on this thread, I’m getting the idea that no-code is not enough for an extensive Mobile app and the MVP probably have to be rewritten if the idea works. I think it’s okay tho - most ideas change so much since ideation and it’s more important to get feedback early.

I’ll start with a no-code tool just to test out the concept and get early feedback, and then learn UI dev once I encounter a limitation or there is a need to actually rewrite.
it belongs in every seed vault, and we should make them every where... with an adjascent tech vault - that supplies every way of reading medium in our techvolutionary timeline.

sounds stupid, but true - we need many more vaults.

That should be the first install on mars "sure musk, we will fund your trip to mars as soon as your bots can build a DNA/seed vault of everyhting we can shoot at it - and it is able to receive these independantly.
In addition, it would be great if after going back that way there would be a way to go forward again (= undo the going back and closing the tab), in particular if the tab one has returned to has no other forward history. I frequently miss this in Safari.

This completely fails to account for the fact that 50% of roadway fatalities in the US involve alcohol. Many of the rest involve youth, drugs or inexperience of one form or another.

This isn't a "some people don't pay attention" problem. And some "clever" hackish solution to try to deal with this narrow avenue will have precisely zero impact on fatalities and an oversized impact on driver irritation.

Want fewer accidents? Outlaw alcohol, use a "provisional" plate system for new drivers, and limit the amount of horsepower drivers under 24 can legally drive.
We have the option to make traffic much safer by implementing mandatory gps based speed governors and automatic breaking for collision avoidance.

Self driving cars are the next step in this.

People want to speed, and they are willing to accept thousands of dead and disabled as the price.
I see an all-you-can-eat basic model, comparable to either state-funded (that is, tax-funded) systems such as the BBC, or basic cable subscriptions, with a potential for higher-priced premium tiers. If at all possible this would be indexed to wealth and income rather than uniformly priced, though this might be on a geographic basis (e.g., wealthier neighbourhoods / postal codes / census blocks), rather than on a per-household basis.

Internet access is already gatewayed through ISPs, and putting content revenue share and compensation at this level really seems a natural to me, far more than subscriptions, micropayments, and/or patronage, all of which seem to have pretty sharp upper bounds. Compensation to publishers could operate through an ASCAP / mechanical royalties / airtime type system based on statistical monitoring --- not precise but sufficient.

Universal basic income as a backstop for individual contributors could also be a part of the solution, but that doesn't address the needs (and capabilities) of institutional media organisations, journalistic or otherwise.

Goals would be to:

- Provide universal access to quality basic media: news, information, education, entertainment.

- Pay for the production of quality content, without the distortions of patronage, propaganda, advertising, and tightly-focused subscriptions.

- Provide for a diversity of organisational voices and publishers, avoiding the pitfalls of media monopolies, again whether in news, book publishing, education, or entertainment, which harm both the audience and individual creators. See Cory Doctorow's Chokepoint Capitalism and many blog postings and speeches on the harms of the latter.

By that logic, they'd keep VW prices high. China's vehicle manufacturers have made impressive strides of the past few years, especially in the EV market. Considering the growing nationalist tendencies, they'd try to get there citizens to buy more wholly produced and designed Chinese cars. How does lowering prices on foreign ones help that goal?
