I wonder if this feature might be “infectious”: if a handful of servers wind up with the wrong time, and start propagating that wrong time in their server handshakes, it might cause a cascade of other servers to reset their times too.

In any case, it seems like a poor solution especially given that random timestamps can occasionally look valid (they’re random!).

The problem they’re trying to solve seems to be to obtain a trustworthy timestamp in the presence of a potentially hostile network - one that could be presenting expired, cracked certificates for every connection to arbitrarily tamper with all SSL connections. It’s not a trivial problem, for sure, but resetting perfectly valid clocks using this algorithm seems like a strict downgrade….
I'd say there's a high probability (~75%) based on the intense heat difference between city centers and suburbs. I observe an instant 5 degree drop in temperature as soon as I drive outside mostly paved areas into the suburbs, even in the evening and at night.

Pavement and concrete don't even have time to properly cool off at night, so if temperature increases due to global warming, city centers will slowly become uninhabitable.
The ani-digital display is not as elegant (IMHO of course!)
I spend most of the time out of range, but the technology is simple and robust enough that you can use headphones or a phone speaker as a very, very short-range transmitter. You hardly need to sync every day, either. I've had most success with https://einoko.github.io/DCF77.js/
I see that an an incredibly high bar. Even with all the resources of Google they (and everyone else) are losing the SEO war. These algos at their core fundamentally can't handle adversarial input and we've been making faster horses since AltaVista. Even if the only thing LLms are useful for is search that's still great.

I wonder if the word 'Luck' in the title is what is causing all the ruckus.

Could be some arbitrary guideline not documented that reviewers have to follow for certain countries. Who knows?
It's bad for them because their support matrix still includes versions of Node and webpack that haven't been in even LTS support for years at this point.

It's great that they want to support such a long tail. I know that makes a lot of developers very happy that they can rely on that.

In my experience ESM is not painful at all if you can rip the bandaid off and drop Webpack 4 (and below) and any version of Node less recent than current LTS. That's a lot easier done in greenfield projects than those that have long tail support matrices to contend. Brownfield projects should get better as more and more of that tail dies off.
What kind of compensation are we talking, here?
Yeah, facts. So how to overcome this?

There seems to be huge demand for mlops now, and from my experience 80% of mlops just seems to be sensible DevOps or software engineering practices.

I'd say someone with a decent background in that could make the transition easily, especially if they brush up on a few of the hot topics, "feature stores", "model repositories" and of course wandb.com - which in many people's mind is mlops.

I don't know if that's how you get the big bucks, I don't work in that type of world. But having the skills or inclination to actually deploy an LLM as a working system much in the same way you would, say a normal web service, does seem to be in high demand right now.

>When places like Zappos encourage people to buy extra just to return the excess

Yeah, but Zappos just sprays some of that stuff they use for the rental shoes at bowling alleys, which as we all know makes the shoes pristine, in like-new condition. All shoe retailers use this eldritch magick, created by the great Druid Alchemists that built Stonehenge, so that's not a fair comparison.
I guess they've worked out to always get exactly the same text back? Hopefully this won't be a repeat of the photocopiers that used a similar compression technique and occasionally substituted letters in the copy.

The other point would be is that derivatives can provide low pass filtering. The "high frequency" components of "CPU usage" are not useful to me.
This is how unpoly works (it receives the whole response and patches the page with the correct part of that response).
The author conveniently forgets to mention that Luck the Landlord game is primarily a slot-machine. Instead, they provide counter examples of games that have slot machine mechanics in them to argue that Play Store policies are applied inconsistently.
I think everyone is intentionally deluding themselves here. Fair elections basically aren't and have never been a thing. In any society. Ever.

The winners have always been picked by a different process than the actual voting. It's like forcing a card in close up magic.

It's the false pretense of fairness and our votes mattering that we need as glue to maintain order.
which also means that it is one more bit to set on the receiver (in addition to time zone).

I have many clocks with WWVB time. Many miss signals and become off, one even gets an error once in a while and has the time many hours off. Not all decoders are the same apparently.

> But the rise of online services and the internet in the mid-1990s gave Apple a unique opportunity. On the internet, nobody knew you were using a Mac. Once you connected, you were using AOL or CompuServe or just your local internet provider and a web browser or email app. While some sites didn’t function if you weren’t using Internet Explorer for Windows, most worked fine.

Contrast with their view of the internet today, now that they own the mobile platform that is dominant in the most important market.

This only happened because App Stores are a central point of failure (and control and undue taxation).

Tell your legislators that Google and Apple need to open up to web installs. To make them first class, with no hurdles and no scare tactics.

In order to help facilitate this, open up devices to other stores from the moment of device activation - Google Play should be on iPhone, App Store should be on Android, etc. And build proper first-party browser support for "this website has an app, click to install".

If a customer knows about you and wants you, they should be able to grab you from your website. Or another marketplace.

The App Store system as it stands today is perverse and draconian.

You're missing the rougelike part. This game is more about deck building and rougelike elements than it is about gambling. The button to spin is indeed the least interesting part of the game.

I guess, but still, these seemingly large numbers are still a minute percentage (e.g. probably 0.00001%) of overall costs/revenue that are relatively way, way more.

I would understand manufacturing pain, and the ROI just doesn't justify it. But saying that it's solely to do with costs doesn't line up, IMO.

When I first learned the properties of a Cauchy distribution it sent chills down my spine.
Nice spot.

Perhaps something that is meant to add a delta to a timestamp accidentally adds 2 timestamps together.

While there's certainly a lot of evidence that its not a superconductor, no one can make the definitive statement that this article does without testing the original sample.

I think the word you're looking for is "inconceivable". And I do not think it means what you think it means.

I’ve used Linux on an embedded system which gets time/date via proprietary monitoring protocol. Seting Linux time/date isn’t instant, Linux will run an accelerated clock until it reaches the target time. This bizzare behaviour is a hack to fix apps/services which have too high delta time which cause other problems. Its frustrating for us since when we receive a clock update, our clocks can take hours to sync. Meanwhile our packet clocks are inaccurate. This only happens during testing (by gov regulators) and to pass the tests, we had to outsmart the way the system clock works when receiving a large date/time diff.

All of these work-arounds for unneeded hacks (like in the article) drives my temper way up. Just do the simple thing in kernel space or the OS level. No suprises.

I've certainly had issues with time sync in the past, and Windows has a wide range of deployment, so I would imagine they can't rely on it.
I'm sure you can find terrible implementations using Spring/Spring Boot. But the only annotation you have to use all the time is @Component (or @Service) and you could still externalize that, even without XML configuration, by using @Bean in an @Configuration class. Even if you're not so worried about compartmentalizing your bean wiring, the number of annotations is often very minimal, and you can focus a lot on actually writing your best business code.

At the end of the day, complex applications need to deal with complexity somehow. The debate becomes: do you want to adopt and trust Spring's "under the hood" complexity, or is your team going to roll a lot of that themselves.
Actually, in some cases / places, you absolutely can get away with that defense if you weren't being too far over the speed limit, and can be convincing enough about your assertion that you were simply "keeping up with the normal flow of traffic".
I was self-taught the entire way and am currently working on the application/inference architecture side of things. Started in 2017 or so just messing with tensorflow for proof of concept stuff, then years later now we’re using the inference architecture to deploy and build apps around models other teams have built.

It’s all very cool and you definitely don’t need anything at all to do any of it.
Simulated slot machines aren't appropriate in games marketed/sold to children. They're on the same level of inappropriate sleaze as "candy cigarettes" (which you may not have heard of before, because they're rightly banned in many countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_cigarette#Sales_laws)

I understand why it failed and I realize that I am not a typical consumer but I loved when JC Penny eliminated sales and just charged a flat price. I don't shop for clothes often, I don't want to wait for sales or figure out which coupon is slightly better, I just want a no hassle transaction.

They also killed their Big and Tall clothing line (The Foundry) last year which was my go-to for plain shirts in tall sizes.
On the other hand, it is the most effective to bring public awareness to a bullshit policy.
"as long as you're loud and vulgar it doesn't matter that you can't actually play your instrument"

There is a certain irony.

Many punk bands played quite well despite this attitude.

I can't think of a really bad band either.
I would mostly agree for this, if you need it for some general patterns it's really good for that. Things like "how do I implement Singleton properly in Python contextually in this codebase". I can't use it as much on things post 2021, though, for instance.

I think in general it's just really good at Python, so it's a boon if you code in Python. I was using it for Kotlin the other day and while it helps, it's not as immediately good in my experience.
Well, there is a solution, but it's unpopular, so it may negatively impact company valuation.

Lobbying government of US, to send them "democracy".

Or hire PMCs (Alphabet has 113B USD in cash).

Or push news and content that is against the local government (but this is half-joke).

So it's possible if you really want.
Please remember the context here, we’re talking about a game on the App Store that has a slot machine mechanic.

Many places have similar small variances in obscenity they allow to be published. Your country might forbid nudity on TV, or disallow gambling businesses in public spaces.

I’d say WW2 featured significantly more serious issues.
It's not totally uncommon. I have a Waveceptor and several other clocks that use WWVB.

One works perfectly, most of the others are usually good, one gets off a couple of times a year (so therefore useless), and my Waveceptor has gone nuts maybe a couple of times.

It seems to be all about signal strength (and a little bit about battery strength).

I see at least one of those watches has GPS reception.

Reminder that compression = intelligence:

Which always struck me as a nice idea in theory but of limited use if people can just avoid state-based laws by moving interstate or even registering businesses interstate.
In this case however it makes perfect sense to trial it at a state level. Though I'd assume federal government agencies, especially those that deal with particularly sensitive data, would already have strong restrictions on what can be installed on government devices anyway.
Well, I agree that encoding is compression, at least, but the rest of that statement I do disagree with! It seems to be one of the more common mantras going around right now, though. Which is partially why I advocate for Shannon's theory! It's very clean and bare metal in terms of being related to intelligence, though I think one could build a decent argument for intelligence from info theory.
On the plus side, I love Luck be a Landlord and only found out it was on mobile thanks to this post. Looking forward to playing it on my phone.
It's not a question of whether or not it's harmless. It seems to me that it plainly violates the "apps that simulate gambling" clause. It looks and plays like a slot machine. That's different from Jetpack Joyride, which is a side scroller that has a brief slot-machine element that's not really central to the gameplay. Almost all video games have random elements but they're not gambling themed. I'm not Muslim but my understanding is that the Qur'an views gambling with the same level of condemnation as it views consumption of alcohol. Games with nudity/sexual content, homosexual characters, alcohol, gambling, etc., are (unfortunately in my opinion) banned in multiple Islamic nations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_banned_video_games_by_...

As long as we're on the subject, the Google Play storefront of this app is very much lacking in any reason why someone should want to plunk down US$5 for it. Maybe an embed of the release video? For that matter the release video itself could benefit from having a voiceover that explains a little of what's going on and makes it sound fun.

It is striking that most generated photos have the woman on the left. Only two states have the woman on the right. This is probably due to the source material the AI was trained with, I understand, but that was striking anyway.

> I've also got to wonder about this from the angle of the financial arrangements. Part of me always wonders if all that inventory is even owned by Home Depot, or if the contractual arrangements make it closer to a consignment relationship where stuff that is declared as unsaleable (for whatever reason) is eaten by the vendor.

My understanding, which may not be the best, from a few years of working retail.

Most items for sale are actually owned by the big box company (retailer), but anything returned as defective is typically trashed and the big box company gets a credit from the manufacturer on their next purchase. So basically the manufacturer eats the cost, but it's also contingent on the retailer still buying their products.
I agree that "capturing the means of production" is a red herring. The idea is to abolish private property, i.e. private ownership of "the means of production".

Arguably a reform stating something along the lines like, say, "non-publicly traded corporations above $1MM annual revenue for three years or employing at least 20 people must transfer ownership to a worker's council all employees automatically are members of for the duration of their employment" (this could be extended to take into consideration repayment of the initial investments of the founders as for any other loan) and similarly limiting publicly traded corporations while also offering government grants for founding employee-owned corporations (before hitting the revenue or employment cap) would pretty much tick that checkbox and I don't think that would really be "communism" in a meaningful way, even if I think it's an overall improvement for society.

I see communism as equivalent with anarchism so my definition isn't shared by all "communists" but the point isn't to "give power to the people" but to abolish the systems which give individuals power over other. That includes a lot of "SJW"/"woke" topics like white supremacism, cis-heteronormativity, ageism/gerontocracy (i.e. treating children as lesser beings rather than persons with intellectual and physical limitations), ableism (i.e. treating people with intellectual and physical limitations as lesser beings) and "the patriarchy", as well as capitalism. That's quite the laundry list so I'm fine with incrementalism.

Of course some communists like Engels conflate(d) hierarchy with the vague nation of "authority" to create a strawman against this notion of communism, i.e. that anarchists not wanting individuals to have power over others means they can't do violence in order to help bring about communism or defend it -- which of course is nonsensical because opposing systems of power does not contradict using power (i.e. violence) in opposition of those systems. There are other ideological disagreements too but it boils down to anarchism being "communism but more so" and Marxist-Leninists being of the opinion that that is worse and that therefore not being able to achieve that with their means (e.g. vanguardism) is not an issue.
Solar/wind are indeed competitive now, and would be even more competitive once countries get their act together and stop allowing fossil fuels to treat the atmosphere as a free sewer.

But take a look at this graph: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/60/US_Energ...

It's still 80% fossil fuel. Until those numbers reverse we are getting ahead of ourselves.

You're describing AngularJS, not React. When React hit the scene there were services for "pre-rendering" your AngularJS app for SEO and crawlers. "Rehydration" for server-side rendering was one of the biggest selling points of React.

Heck, even literal Web Components were stuck in that direction. The big reveal of the Web Components implementation in Polymer involved a demo page that was literally an empty HTML page with a single <DemoApp /> custom element node and a massive JS runtime. And that was after React had become popular enough for Googlers to actively heckle React and other libraries on Twitter: #UseThePlatform.

React of course lapsed in server-side rendering eventually because it was not a priority to Facebook and therefore only an afterthought. Arguably the killing blow was Create React App not giving any thought to it at all. But one of the most popular React frameworks is Next, which is now more than 6 years old and is best known for being good at SSR.

The class vs className thing is a silly argument and enough articles have been writing about this that I don't need to reiterate the full argument here but basically the DOM API calls it className (because it wanted to avoid reserved keywords in property names) and most libraries have special-cased "class" to be an alias for "className" or even go out of their way to prevent you from using the actual property name. React actually does less here, not more. The rendered DOM itself (i.e. the HTML sent over the wire in SSR or what you see in your DOM explorer) is no different whether you use JSX where it's called className or a template language that translates "class" to "className" for you.
