The skeuomorphism comes in handy sometimes: the 50g emulator on my current smartphone reproduces the keyboard at ~94% scale, which is close enough that muscle memory transfers over. But for use on a desktop computer, I agree that the skeuomorphism is not necessary.
Yep, he was forced out of PayPal for trying to make them rename themselves X.com after the acquisition almost 25 years ago.

So here he is again, pushing the name X. My understanding is he’s done it before. And he wants Twitter to be a huge financial payments player. Claims half the global market will want to use it.

Seems to me he can’t stop fighting past battles to try to prove he was right, when he clearly wasn’t, to assuage his ego. I’m hardly the first person to point this out. I learned it from someone else years ago, it just happens to fit perfectly again.
I’m not saying it’ll be easy. But what’s even harder is rewriting 50 year old software, with all the bugs that others relay on now (both people and software), wanky and complex business logic, etc, etc.

I’m not saying that you should stick to mainframe. But rewriting it because you need to support strong password is not a reason to do it.
Humans also typically pay up-front for the content that inspires them and assimilate it over the long course of their natural lives, and are constrained in overall output.

Mechanizing that process so that it can be wielded at scale and automated is a pretty significant "change to the contract", and worth exploring what compensation is fair under these new circumstances.
I'm not sure they're at all related?

Surely Google/Alphabet's X subsidiary has been around for a while now? (wikipedia suggests since 2010, albeit only renamed from Google X to just "X" in 2015)

(And I always felt the name made a certain amount of sense for a subsidiary of a company named "Alphabet").
So many things ill thought out in this. Curious to see which media outlet is the first to refer to "SoAndSo's x'd out earlier today" or "Recent x's suggest a growing interest in..."

Perhaps two weeks until he explains it all away as an "experiment" rather than genuine ignorance.

The difference that the justices they put on the bench are pretty extreme. Witness the reversal of several important decisions, like Roe vs Wade, something the court has historically been loathed to do. Or the gutting of the Voting Rights Act, usurping the intentions of Congress. They're systematically rewriting the law because they know they have a durable majority and that Congress and voters have no recourse.
What are you talking about? I used to be able to interact with interesting people in the public sphere on twitter, now it's just a bunch of people verified that I never cared who they were anyway, and everyone I joined to follow has been gradually leaving.

My own account is still in a banned state for telling Microsoft they suck for making their OS bloated. Before I was off twitter, because fuck deleting a reasonable tweet to appease some censorship bot and its review team, twitter was less and less 'free' for anyone not worshiping that rich ass-hat.

Summoning another meeting with engineers, Musk ordered an 80-person team to address the perceived issue, under penalty of being fired. As a result, engineers altered Twitter's algorithm to boost Musk's tweets by a factor of 1000

It has a head designed for fitting writing instruments. I expected some kind of adjustable pressure mechanism, but I'm not seeing it in pictures or in the description. The closest I found was

The pen holder fits a wide variety of pens, including Sharpie fine and ultra-fine point markers, most rollerball and fountain pens, small-bodied whiteboard markers, and so forth. It can even hold a fountain pen at a proper angle of 45° to the paper. You can also use implements that aren't pens, such as pencils, chalk, charcoal, brushes, and many others. However, you'll get the best results with instruments such as fountain pens and rollerball pens, which do not require the user to apply pressure.

Nice catch!

It reminds me of the compiler switches which can alter the way code at different levels (global, procedure, routine) can access variables declared at different levels and the change in scope that ensues.

Maybe some of this HW caching should be left to the coders.
Given that Musk's obsession with the "X" moniker goes back to the 90s at least, I imagine it would be more accurate to say his son's name and this rebrand are both branches from the same tree (see: x.com -> paypal, SpaceX, Tesla model X)
The initial design goals was to build a space cargo plane understandable and acceptable to taxpayers and is capable of capturing a Soviet spy satellite with a mockup left in the orbit all in just one orbit and divert to any standard 747 runway and may be operated by both NASA and USAF.

The Shuttle did fulfill something like half of those, just those were pointless goals. But it wasn't reusability alone that made Shuttle a technical failure.
My issues with std::variant in C++ boil down to it being a runtime, not compile-time construct, and surprising interactions with implicit casts, especially in the case of primitive types. After that, unlike what I described about combining union types with lexically-scoped-newtypes, std::variant doesn't let you build sum types when you need them. You're stuck only with union types.

> What is “foo”? Is it an Identifier or a StringLiteral?

Normally, it's an identifier, since there are no quotes. If there is ambiguity about it, the lexical categories you're working with are ambiguous, which is a real issue. When designing a grammar, that should be avoided. Sadly, sometimes we're given a poor-quality grammar like in C, where some tokens can be interpreted both as headers and as string literals (but neither is a subset of the other) and can't do anything about it, but then you just need to decide which category you're going to assign to ambiguous cases (either one of two, or make a third one) and later you can disambiguate based on context. In any case, I don't consider it an issue of the tool, but an essential domain problem to be solved explicitly by the programmer.
Musk wanted to rebrand PayPal as X. His obsession goes back a long, long way.
And with seemingly far more public interest in GDPR-like stuff than protecting encryption rights.

It almost seems like they're both driven by the same anti-tech sentiment, and encryption isn't as important when you really want no tech at all. Scary!

Something I keep coming to here, and not seeing easy solns for, is a pure OSS docker-level approach to volume encryption. No wrangling cryptfs in the host, just a special overlay mode that docker & compose understand. Getting it down to a few docker-compose.yml volume annotations like "encrypted: true" seems like it'd open up a lot of users to doing encryption-at-rest without going full k8s. The threat model here is a bit limited vs other approaches, but I'd think can go far for the bulk of pets out there..
From the SA article:

> Furby: The Salton Sea is the largest lake in California, but it actually started out as an accident.

This is not true, or at least not fully accurate, and not what I expect of a publication like Scientific American.

Not sure if you read the history section of the wikipedia article but it was intentional:

> In 1900, under Governor James Budd, the California Development Company began construction of irrigation canals to divert water from the Colorado River into the Salton Sink, a dry lake bed. After construction of these irrigation canals, the Salton Sink became fertile for a time, allowing farmers to plant crops.

> Within two years, the Alamo Canal became filled with silt from the Colorado River.

> Engineer Charles Rockwood, faced with bankruptcy and "after mature deliberation", directed the construction of a breach in the bank of the Colorado River approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) south of the existing wooden headgates (the Chaffey Gate).

> Rockwood's action in ordering the breach was later described as a "blunder so serious as to be practically criminal."
There isn't a yes/no answer for this. The disease has no cure and it is progressive, so saying that it worked for me means that it helps me in my day-to-day (fatigue level, vitality, post-exercise recovery, etc), but that's it. I understand that this is highly subjective from the outside, but after trying hundreds of different things I have developed a sixth sense to know what works for me.

The most important thing is food. In my case, a lowish-carb diet (around 100 grams/day). Only tubers and rice. I also do 2 keto cycles of 4-6 weeks every year based on this study [1]. It is a pain to go through this, but it seems to do some good in the long run.

The second thing is exercise. A combination of weight training and HIIT works great. There is some science behind this. In short: satellite cells are mutation free. Weight training activates them and aerobics makes them "reproduce". This way, I can offset the replication advantage that mutant cells have ("clonal expansion", the force that makes the disease progressive).

Third, supplements.

Plain CoQ10 in some formulation that improve bio-availability (p.e. Jarrow's Q-absorb). 100-200 mg/day. I can't see additional benefits in larger doses.

Plain non-flush niacin (500 mg/day). There is a recent study for this [1] with actual human beings with the very same disease that I have.

I also take curcumin and several forms of magnesium daily. They both seem to work.

It is not intelligent, any more than découpé [1] means scissors and paste are intelligent.

I understand that people like to anthropomorphize things. That's harmless fun when people are imagining tree spirits or thunder gods or whatever. But just because fancy autocomplete produces semi-intelligible text does not mean there is an intelligence behind it. I believe we will eventually be able to create synthetic minds. But our understanding of actual minds is so poor that it's going to be quite a while before we manage.

More than 200 years ago, Mary Shelley told a story of a scientist creating life via the then-new technology of electricity. Since the we keep re-telling the story with the latest technology. It's a good story, and like all good art helps us understand what it means to be human. Which is why I think it's especially bad to use those stories to muddy the many differences between actual humans and something that produces statistically plausible generated text.

The only developers that would likely need to debug binary protocols are the framework developer themselves. It would be an extremely rare occurrence for someone to need to use a binary/hex viewer to figure out what is going wrong with their "app". Perhaps you are thinking of telemetry/introspection of one's own messages? In that case there usually is a library call to convert them to a human readable format like JSON, e.g., https://protobuf.dev/programming-guides/proto3/#json.

IMO it is a real waste of developer time to code up a new transport protocol without determining that the existing ones don't work or don't perform as well as needed. Multiply that by all the programming languages that need to be supported... when instead the client APIs could have been mostly code generated.

Although may only apply to the "client-side" API, what is going in the message payload? JSON probably, or some other serialization format. I don't think a lot of developers are hand writing parsers for their own payloads. The overhead of the JSON or Protobuf parser is already in there.

Sorry in advance for bikeshedding. This is a cool project and the name is clearly derived from js_of_ocaml, but does anyone know why js_of_ocaml ended up with such an awkward name in the first place? I am vaguely familiar with the "x_of_y" naming scheme in OCaml (which I also find awkward, but perhaps it sounds better in French) - is that the only reason? I can't find any discussion online, so maybe I'm really the only one who finds the name awkward.

Did twitter bring the polarization or simply act as a venue for it?

Either way, despite how polarized it may have been, it was valuable for many groups and a large number of genuinely grassroots social & artistic movements originated there or effectively used it. Destroying those doesn't seem like a clear cut positive for humanity, as you're framing it.

In the end, I'm thinking most of these are related to branch prediction?

It strikes me that it's either that branch prediction is so inherently complex enough it's always going to be vulnerable to this and/or it just so defies the way most of us intuitively think about code paths / instruction execution that it's hard to conceive of the edge cases until too late?

At what point does the complexity of CPU architectures become so difficult to reason about that we just accept the performance penalty of keeping it simpler?

Running untrusted code whether in a sandbox, container, or VM, has not been safe since at least Rowhammer, maybe before. I believe a lot of these exploits are down to software and hardware people not talking. Software people make assumptions about the isolation guarantees, hardware people don't speak up when said assumptions are made.
Yup. One thing that I find respectable about Ethereum, contrary to what many Bitcoiners say, is that it’s always trying to find the minimum viable issuance, with less and less issuance, that makes the chain work effectively.

Bitcoin on the other hand, was a one time deal with the 21 million, but the original economics thought up by Satoshi was forever changed after the blocksize was constrained in 2017, and now, there’s a high risk that there won’t be enough transaction fees in the future to support Bitcoin, even with Lightning Network.

One of the reasons Mainframes continue to be used is depreciation. I know a few companies who love their mainframes because they are fully paid for and from a budget perspective they are seen as “free”.

This can be very attractive compared to the never ending OpEx for running cloud computing.
That's the wrong way to solve this. You have to assume people don't read the manual, especially for security issues.

The correct solution is that `ldd` should be safe by default, and require a `--allow-unsafe-execution` flag if it needs to actually execute code.

I think this is pretty well known these days but probably not well known enough!
It's easy to grow compared with cocaine. You can grow the plant in a tent or if need be just on your windowsill, pluck and trim it, dry it, then smoke it or bake it in an edible. And even a single plant is good for quite a number of joints. Hash oil extraction is more difficult but most stoners prefer to smoke pure or tobacco mix weed anyway.

Cocaine in contrast, you need 300-ish grams of leaves to make 1 gram of cocaine, and a ton of chemistry afterwards to extract and purify it.
There is no agreement on the exact meaning of ML and AI. They are often used interchangeably. And for good reason, because it's all about getting computers to learn. We should not squabble about semantics.

> the article goes into detail on why the iris hashes are sufficiently private.

The problem is that if it something goes wrong, you can't fix things by changing your biometrics. That means that "sufficiently" private is a much, much higher threshold than it would be in other contexts.

It also requires a lot of trust of the entities gathering the biometric information, and it's hard to come up with any entity that seems trustworthy enough. Especially any entity in the cryptocurrency space.

Even ignoring the extremely creepy aspect of this (something worldcoin amplified immensely with those orbs), this seems like a very bad and dangerous idea. Even if the odds of a terrible mistake are very low, if you roll the dice enough times, you will eventually roll badly.

Personally, I wouldn't touch any of this at all. I'd feel more comfortable having the entire internet think I'm not human than expose myself to this sort of thing.
