Macs have alternate mechanisms that achieve the same thing. SIP de-privileges the root user, the boot filesystems are cryptographically sealed, and the kernel will prevent apps tampering with each other to at least some extent.

So whilst you can "jailbreak" a Mac you can only do it by following Apple's procedures, which leaves a trace that can detected in the remote attestation. At least I assume that's what's going on from their docs.
>Today, we live in a rentier's paradise. People don't aspire to create value – they aspire to capture it... don't provide a service, just figure out a way to interpose yourself between the provider and the customer

I think the customer has just changed. Consumers don't have money anymore. Businesses do. Maybe said a different way, for the highest margin products you are targeting businesses.

A consumer spending 100k is a often a lifetime purchase. A business spending that may just be so they can improve efficiency by 5% or hang onto onto their budget next year.

Your competition are large companies taking small amounts of value from a huge number of customers. Consumers have gotten used to "not paying" (e.g. paying through ad views) and, for that reason, a more traditional exchange has become difficult.

This problem seems to be that consumer companies are moving toward an extraction at scale model. It is less market choice but often produces a free or subsidized product.

> on the other, a more casual "greynet" galaxy of porn and decentralized communities will likely emerge, once all tinkerers get pushed out of corpnet.

The entire internet is "corpnet." For this fantasy freezone to happen, actual alternative physical networks would have to be built, the parts that those networks require will have to be sold to consumers without the hardware being locked down or nerfed, and if authorities do not approve of these networks, they'll have to be invisible.

I don't see a technical answer to that. Sneakernets maybe, but dogs can smell hard drives. Certainly not anything wireless, unless there's some sort of geometric arrangement or algorithm that allows them to hide their locations in other signals.

I'm of the clearly minority opinion that the people who run totalitarian governments are neither stupid nor weak. I also believe that the fantasy that there's always going to be an answer (that always looks like teen hackers dressed up like 90s punks in a Gibson Blade Runner urbanscape theme park) is a drug that allows people to take our real situation less seriously.

> what does that have to do with me or my private property? ... But the advertising platform has no business relationship with me

I am not convinced that you owe the advertising platform attribution. My original point was just that attribution is not about dragnet surveillance for personalizing ads.
But I can try to argue why browsers should do attribution, just to interrogate the question.

Specifically, you have a business relation with whatever website you are going to that serves you ads. That website has a clear interest in helping their ad-platform attribute ads on their website. After all, that website depends on those ads for your income.

It is then within the perogative of that website to effectively say I only want to serve my website to users who will cooperate with attribution. This request is not a request for mass surveillance, because attribution is limited in what it reveals about a person. So this request could be construed as reasonable.

Given that websites have a reasonable standing to make these demands, it is reasonable for a user-agent to be able to accept these demands. Since otherwise the user for which the user-agent is acting cannot visit the website they requested the user-agent display.
Of course a user-agent should let you opt out, but then websites are within their rights of refusing you access.

So far, so reasonable (or at least not completely unreasonable).

The sticking point is of-course that most website do want attribution, but don't want to block people with older browsers. So they want users to agree to give them the attribution data without giving the users anything in return. At which point a user-agent has no more business cooperating with attribution on behalf of the user.

In that case, there remains an argument of "if we don't do attribution the entire web is worse off, so we solve the tragedy of the commons by 'making the right decision' in the defaults for the user-agent". But that argument is clearly unreasonable to me.

I’m a physical oceanographer. While I have only skimmed this article I would like to make two quick comments.

1) The AMOC is one of the most studied parts of the world ocean and predictions about its collapse have been made since Stommel in 1961. I think in general any study on its imminent collapse should be taken with a grain of salt and it would be wise to wait for further replication and the consensus of the community. You can google AMOC collapse and find articles stretching back decades.

2) This may be my bias a dynamacist but I am skeptical of purely statistical models of AMOC collapse. The AMOC is complex and trying to predict the time of a complete collapse is a significant simplification (especially when, as the authors note, a slowdown rather than shutdown of the AMOC seems more likely from our current understanding).

Nevertheless this is a very interesting study and contribution to the field.

Edit: @abathur posted a wonderful link below that I wanted to spread further: https://www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reaction-to-paper-...
Both things can be significant. It's worth noting that:

a) SSO has no financial cost. Hardware keys do.

b) SSO has been implemented and standard for years and is trivial for sites to support, hardware keys are much newer and are still rarely supported for authentication.

c) You can use hardware keys with SSO, which I'd recommend, and now you've gotten the benefits of both.
I think TA is bad because it's priced in but your argument seems like nonsense.

It boils down to "the market is probabilistic and you can't know for sure it won't get impacted by things" but if TA gives you even a couple % edge (with black swans averaging out in both directions) it would have been worth it.
Pretty sure Europe will heat up, NA will cool down. Currently the Atlantic current brings hot water from the equatorial zones up the US east coast, hence the humidity there. And it brings cool water down from the Arctic to Europe’s west coast, hence the mild non-humid climate there. Reversing the current would reverse that dynamic. It might make Europe less suitable to wine growing, for one, which requires mild cool climates.
It's about time we start charging current and former heads of state for dereliction of duty and crimes against humanity.
Part of the challenge of this climate information is that it's so bloody complicated. Yes, Nature is doing a scientific write-up, but even reading the abstract all I get is "severe impacts on the climate in the North Atlantic region". What does that mean? Ok, well, why don't I at least look up the AMOC in the first place.

Quick dash over to wikipedia [1] and I find out that...

> The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is part of a global thermohaline circulation in the oceans and is the zonally integrated component of surface and deep currents in the Atlantic Ocean.

A lot of words to say that you are fine with curtailed speech, and that Elon's Twitter/X is not doing anything unique in regards to speech. Which is fine, the product needs to be for someone I guess. But don't pretend that Twitter is a safe haven for speech when it's not. It's just another social media site where moderation is done at the whim of those in control of the platform.

> That's a pretty ridiculous notion to pit illegal content such as death threats and real libel with free speech.

I am not the one that chooses to call myself a "free speech absolutist" and I am not the one that is claiming that Twitter is a place for free speech. If we're only looking at what is considered free speech in the US then Twitter had completely free speech before Elon took over. My usage of illegal content was in response to the claim that there were no laws around censorship in the US. Clearly there is, and you agree; Illegal content does need to be censored. I am fine with that, but is a "free speech absolutist"? If so, they aren't an absolutist.

I wasn't making a claim on whether or not that was reasonable content to take action on.

> CIS IS a slur.

No, it's not. It might be able to be used as a slur but that is true for most adjectives. You feeling like it is a slur says a lot more about you than it does about people who use that word. And this is just another example of where someones personal perspective is influencing the moderation on Twitter/X. You agree with Elon that its a slur, which is fine I guess. Elon says thats going to get banned, and that's not a free speech issue for some reason. But when people bring up the usage of the N-word or anti-Semitic language, Elon is oddly quiet. Again, I guess that is fine, it's his platform, but clearly slurs aren't wholesale banned, so then how is that free speech? Oh, right, it's not. It's the exact same as Facebook or Reddit or any other website. As if Elon isn't doing anything unique but selling you on the idea that he is.

What regulates the valuation of stocks as legit? Well, there's your answer.
Good programming editors are designed with the idea that as you master the program, you become more precise in telling it what to do. When editing programs, the author usually applies several navigational schemes to interpret the text of the program: by structure, by syntactical elements, but geography of the screen.

To expand on this: examples of navigating by structure include moving by token / expression / definition. Examples of moving by syntax would be the search or "jedi" navigation (i.e. navigation where you enter a special mode requiring from you to type characters that iteratively refine your search results). Finally, simply moving up / down / left right by certain number of characters is the "screen geography" way.

There's no way to tell which method is better, because they apply better in different situations, however the "screen geography" method usually ends up being the worst, because it's the most labor-intensive and requires from the author to dedicate a lot of attention to achieve precision (i.e. move exactly N spaces to the left and then exactly M spaces down is very easy to get wrong, also, with larger N and M becomes really tedious).

Navigation by word is only slightly better than navigation by character, and often falls into the "screen geography" kind of navigation. It's easy to learn, it's quite universal and doesn't require understanding of the structure of the program or mastering better techniques (eg. "jedi jump"). That's not to say that it should be excluded from the arsenal -- quite the opposite, but a master programmer (in the sense of someone who writes programs masterfully) would be the one who's less reliant on this kind of navigation.
> 1) The ages and BMI:

> > The median age was 45 years (IQR 37–54) and median BMI was 29·8 kg/m2

Not sure what the problem is here? The age seems nicely representative without being too young (deal with COVID better) or too old (deal with COVID worse; and higher liklihood of comorbidities). The BMI is a little high, but then we know that larger people have a higher COVID risk, so maybe this makes sense? Either way, given this is a study of treatment effects, and the BMI was well-balanced between both groups, meaning it's reasonable to assume that it didn't affect the overall findings.

> The hazard ratio 95% confidence interval extends to 0.99 when treatment is started within three days. This is not a strong result. 1.0 is no effect.

The hazard ratio itself is 0.37, which is a pretty strong effect, and the effect is statistically significant. (Also, slight correction: the upper bound of the hazard ratio is 0.95 when treatment is started within three days.)
You shouldn't adapt YAML across your stack. Instead of parsing JSON string (the output from the LLM) into an object, I'm suggesting here you parse the YAML string into an object. The article suggests that it'll be more beneficial for you to do this LLM -> YAML -> JSON in terms of time and costs.
> With Safari providing this, it can be used by some providers, but nobody can block or behave differently with unattested clients.

What mechanism prevents websites from blocking or behaving differently for unattested clients? The article doesn't make that clear.

Also: Apple's attestation implementation introduces an external real-time single-point-of-failure, but given that the failure mode is just "show a captcha", it doesn't seem too severe. Is it even possible to implement a broader attestation infrastructure without introducing a similar single point of failure? TLS PKI, for example, does not rely on an external "live" server; the private keys live on the origin.

An alternative to devcontainer.json is that the .vscode/ "Workspace settings" directory also supports an extensions.json where the "Workspace" can suggest extensions to install. The easiest way is to go to the extension in your Extensions list (such as in the above example the Volar [Vue Language Features] extension) or in the "marketplace" and under the Settings cog menu is an "Add to Workspace Recommendations".

Developers opening the workspace after that will get a friendly notification popup to install recommended extensions if they don't have them installed. (It doesn't force the install, it simply recommends it and makes it easy to install. Which is nice, too, when Developers prefer in their own workflows to use alternatives or Preview Versions or no extensions.)
The instructions they provide in the paper seem fairly straightforward and reproducible, I'd expect that if this is in fact legit, there will be many attempts to replicate the result quite quickly.

Better than blind skepticism is starting with epistemology, or the nature of knowledge, with a special emphasis on how knowledge is created and transmitted. Like many I've been influenced by "The Beginning of Infinity" by David Deutsch in this regard.

https://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Infinity-Explanations-Trans...

Examining one's personal epistemology is a significant task because it is the input to one's "mind set," defined in the below podcast with Dr. Alia Crum, Associate Professor of Psychology at Stanford, as "a mental frame or lens that selectively organizes and encodes information."

Technically (no pun) technical trading is looking at historical prices and volumes. But that's not really important.

I guess you're right and I misinterpreted the comments made in the video to mean he finds mathematical patterns in the price/volume data. But now I revisit that evaluation I think it's almost certainly wrong; he almost certainly would use other data too (I mean, why not use everything available to you). It makes sense that he's probably using many, many other data sets and not relying on price/volume alone, and hence it's probably (almost certainly) not technical analysis.

Thanks for the correction.

I really think it's the other way round, a physical issue that might manifest in some psychological phenomenon due to a lack of brain processing capacity and doctors just take it the other way round, because it's much easier to put an "anxiety sticker" on someone than figure the real underlying problem out. There are even some psychiatrists that consider all mental issues to be problems with brain metabolism, i.e. physical problems manifesting in psychical ones.
