Elon Musk wants Apple to bend more App Store rules for X
That’s unfortunate. When I was on windows phone in the late 2000s, every new feature got a round of threat modeling. Each team (pm/test/dev) were responsible for building the threat model themselves, but the threat model was reviewed by another security team.

The argument being made is that the structure of the government in the USA defines persons and effects as both being part of the 4A with the same standard of protection against unreasonable search and seizure.

The language of the clause means you can't disconnect persons, houses, papers, and effects.

People are secure in their persons, their houses, their effects.

It's not a weird quirk of some conflicting criminal/civil law.

It's part of the document that binds all other laws.

Making people a third party to their effects means you could also do that to their person, which is complete nonsense.

But it certainly does require suspicion of wrongdoing. You can't just walk up and take something from someone just because you don't charge them.

We want our SDK (if we manage to build it) by which revenue share is distributed to be tamperproof and used by humans. You don't like this, turn off the BAT support in the SDK-using app, or use a different app.

Contrast this with Google WEI, which proposes that web pages (esp. the big ones, including Google's) can do this to all browser users, who get zero revshare, just battery draining ad-tech requests and malvertising risk.

See the difference? I have said openly that I'm a fan of Secure Remote Attestation but it has to be opt-in and user-first. WEI as a tool for Chrome supremacy on the browser side and Google on the ad-tech side is pretty much the opposite.
Take a lesson from the Lock Picking Lawyer. You don't need three impervious locks, two AirTags, and a Klaxon alarm on your bicycle, you only need a stronger lock than everyone else parked next to you.

Right, I agree, which is why I think there's only so much you can do. At a certain point someone is going to panic and lose all their ability to reason or see otherwise obvious things. It's an edge case.

Though I have to say, being unable to open the doors with the button doesn't seem panic-worthy. I'd be irritated at first, then intrigued, then I'd just pull the manual release and put in a service appointment to fix the car. Being unable to get out instantly is very rarely an emergency.

> Disagree re: the not getting how science works, though you might be facetious?

Mostly tipsy facetiousness. I mostly wanted to mock the people who thought the DFT analysis was strong evidence that LK-99 is actually a superconductor. Of course, real-life theorists (and experimentalists) know that the advance of science is a progressive dialog between the two groups.

> Can you expand more about what you mean by "the politics here"?

Politics in the sense of getting (positive) recognition. It's absolutely possible for someone to use theory to hypothesize whether LK-99 is a superconductor (RTP or otherwise), and that attempt provides useful predictive value. But someone posting a negative result from that faces more risks than a positive result: the positive case always has an escape hatch (e.g. other factor wasn't accounted for). Experimentalists are lucky, in that escape hatches--e.g. the exact method to reproduce wasn't known to us--are always available to the negative case, because experiments are so messy.
The amount of coolaid you must have to have drunk to be capable of writing an PR email like that must be substantial, right?
I just made a script that generates a two minute long classic radio show episode in the style of Johnny Dollar. Im using elevenlabs for the dialogue so the audiocraft element is definitely the weak point, but its super neat that its even possible currently.

Something that I've wondered - a kind of weakly held theory that, from various references, seems plausible - is:

The US military betrayed the trust of many of the scientists and engineers who worked on the atomic bomb, by not doing a demonstration of the bomb first for its enemies, before dropping the bomb on civilians.

I watched "Adventures of a Mathematician" yesterday which really, really dwells on Ulam's reluctance to work on a weapon of death. There is a dramatized scene there of how upset many of the scientists were, that the bomb was dropped without a demonstration. The movie is based on his memoir, and based on that, it really seems that the 'deal' that many of those scientists took, was something like a) we'll work on an atomic bomb so Germany won't get it b) but we won't use it recklessly, it'll be demonstrated first.

Now of course the military didn't promise that in so many words, but that seems to have been very strongly understood, and the fact that the bomb went directly to killing people seems like a violation of what so many of the people who made that bomb possible, expected.

> If it really was about calibration, wouldn't you think Apple would've calibrated the screen at the factory and programmed the controller with the calibration data?

That sounds like a process thing that could go either way. I can imagine a system where they wait until the ipad is assembled and then use the hardware on the ipad to run the color calibration against the screen being simpler/more sensible to integrate into production than a system where panels need to be plugged into a separate thing earlier on.

In Japan, by definition, an “otaku” is essentially someone who is obsessed with a specific subject and dedicates an overwhelming amount of time to it. For instance, a “train otaku” is someone who spends all their free time working on model trains, to the detriment of their responsibilities.

However, on the Japanese-speaking Internet (mainly 2ch), and to a lesser extent in English-speaking circles (4chan’s /a/), “Otaku” was co-opted from an insult to the tongue-in-cheek name of the subcultures surrounding anime, manga, video games, idols, and nowadays Vtubers. The dedicated “Otaku subculture” is essentially all forms Japanese media, but especially manga.

It’s best to think of it like the real world definition of autism compared to 4chan’s definition of autism.
RE: RE: Neutered inspector. Thanks for showing me that, I legitimately missed when it was added and never got it into my workflow. I'll stick a note on that section of the article

RE: RE: You can't chain selectors. Its still a valid issue, a lot of styles you would want to apply text decoration to hover/focus/focus-visible, but not the visited, active, or plain state. You still have to write `hover:underline focus:underline focus-visible:underline`.
It’s not. It’s just a molecule that binds to one mutation on one protein, albeit a very important one. There are many types of cancer that don't involve mutations of this particular protein.

That’s not a reason to lose hope, this is in fact a remarkable achievement. It’s part of a broader story in which humans are becoming more and more effective at building individual molecules that fit into precise grooves in proteins, changing their shape by distances measured in the width of a hydrogen atom.

I hope you can see how difficult this is. It’s the work of lifetimes now, but there is a constant march of improvement to the techniques for measuring protein binding, huge recent jumps in our understanding of protein folding (AlphaFold), and in our ability to synthesize molecules that bind to proteins. Most of that is the kind of technical work that doesn’t make headlines, but it compounds over time into discoveries like the one described in the article

Ahh.c that explains it. I’ve been on sprint forever, on a long grandfathered unlimited plan. I was only actually swapped to a T-Mobile sim about 6 months ago.
but I find the arguments against at least giving the Japanese a demonstration of the bomb - even just the footage of the Trinty test - beforehand fairly weak.

An enemy that doesn't surrender until you drop two atomic bombs on them was probably not going to surrender if you set one off in an unpopulated area as a demo.

I mean, I'd run up the white flag after being nuked once. You wouldn't have to tell me twice.
Yes, but ESG picks values to optimize for, and picking values is the political act.
I had this complaint myself not long ago, but Vulkan isn't targeted at new computer graphics programmers just learning about the graphics pipeline, or vertex and fragment shaders. It's certainly not optimised for the 'hello triangle' use case—your complaint is equivalent to someone saying 'why do I need #include <cstdio>, and a main() just to print "hello world"?' A lot of that boilerplate is write-once, meaning it's first-time setup that will never have to be done again after actually initialising the GPU. You'll find that extending that example to include texture mapping, mipmapping, supersampling, and even GPU compute will be a lot easier than the initial code.

Vulkan is targeted at graphics and game engine developers who want to extract the maximum possible performance from their GPUs and know the limitations of a global-state API like OpenGL. Vulkan allows extremely fine-grained pipeline management and synchronisation primitives, and adds in hardware ray-tracing support natively without having to uncannily bolt it on.

If all you want is to draw a three-coloured triangle, you can do that easier and faster with ShaderToy instead of fudging with Vulkan. If you want to write a fast, powerful, modern graphics engine, then you use Vulkan or D3D12.

People forget that GPUs are now massive slices of silicon with memory and power subsystems in their own right, and are obviously extremely powerful hardware. At some point, OpenGL itself becomes a bottleneck, or is difficult enough to program with that Vulkan becomes easier, and that's when the true utility and power of its extreme verbosity is displayed.

For the record, the boilerplate isn't '921 lines of nothing'—it's effectively setting the GPU up from scratch, similar to bootstrapping a CPU from 16-bit real mode.
They will not convert whole system into native nabraries like gtk or qt. It is about dividing chrome binaries in order to get easier update process for developers.

We've literally seen this play out multiple times and ultimately Twitch has proven itself as a very difficult incumbent to displace. No streamer is going to turn down 100 million. Once the money runs out they'll all be back on Twitch.
Is this kind of thing typical for experiments working to confirm such significant results, or is there a mad rush to publish?

Do you really get a lot of prestige from confirming somebody else's result? I would have thought the risk to reputation from sloppy work would far outweigh it (see: the cold fusion shenanigans).

I don’t understand the physics, but it feels like a truly zero resistance conductor would violate some law of thermodynamics or something.

Is a superconductor truly zero impedence or just very very very low? Because I’m seeing a lot of these graphs with something like: “0.00001ohm” as the y-axis floor.

Yes, this is called the Kelly Criterion[1] which tells us we should optimize the expected value of the log of wealth, not the expected value of wealth directly. On a log scale, it's clear that doubling and halving have the same magnitude but opposite signs so are perfectly balanced.

I don't quite understand that last bit. Apple objected to this part of the standard, but since WHATWG doesn't work on a consensus model like TC39, they don't have an official way to block. So they registered their rather strong objection - including that they have no intentions to implement it - the feature got merged over their objections, and everyone moved on with the rest of the specs.

I'm not sure what competitive advantage that gains them or anyone else. There's an impasse, and effectively no one uses this feature.

Looking at the key temperature-resistivity graphs, this feels like the data doesn't support the conclusion that there's a superconductor here. The temperature-resistivity graphs of superconductors I've seen all have a fairly steep cutoff--a sharp, vertical line at critical temperature. The log-scale here complicates my intuition, but what I see is a gradual transition into noise range. Also, the graphs I've seen have also demonstrated that the critical temperature varies with applied magnetic field. Here... there's no apparent variation in apparent critical temperature.

I'm sorry, but this result just feels to me like people are assuming that the material must be a superconductor and are analyzing all the data under that assumption rather than asking the question "is this a superconductor?"

Isn't that also a crime in almost the entire US?

It's also where sex trafficking comes into play. How would you know consent was given by a sex worker? People who are trafficked to work as prostitutes are often blackmailed and threatened.

Liability.

All of this is about avoiding bad headlines and press, and veering waaaay into "Nope, our AI isn't proselytizing or telling kids how to be gay or how to hate gay people or anything".
