Funny that Bolsonaro did the exact same thing with his claims about the voting process, but this was not the reaction from his minions. Suddenly you had people that can't do basic math claiming they know the election system is rigged because his leader said so.

So many corrupt hypocrites in this world.

It's sad to see how history repeats itself even in such a short time span. It's almost a carbon copy of Trump's election steal attempt.

It forks and execs new programs using the actual Linux system calls. It's a real Linux terminal emulator that opens and drives /dev/ptmx. Not sure what else it needs to be a real Linux.

Termux is very well integrated. Termux:API allows access to phone sensors, location and cameras, sharing data with android apps, issuing notifications... All from the command line. Things like xdg-open work fine.

Oh it's just a joke because it seems like some of the most talented hackers I've seen lately have anime pictures as their github profile picture.
I could have left that out though, it's not relevant and there's absolutely nothing wrong with liking anime.
I think what the GP was getting at is that they're both actions that are (in the mind of the person executing the action in question) necessary to achieve the desired effect. If you think that it is absolutely necessary to stop the knife-wielding attacker then you'll take any action necessary to do so. That shooting him in the leg was enough doesn't mean you wouldn't have gone further. If you think there's an international Jewish conspiracy that must be stopped you'll also take any action necessary to do so.

The difference in scale is, I think, irrelevant. Under no circumstances would someone need to kill millions of people to stop a single stabber. At that point you're arguing the analogy, not the argument.

"Reality has a liberal bias" was a wisecrack by Stephen Colbert about ignoring poll results (e.g. https://www.quora.com/What-is-meant-exactly-by-the-phrase-re...) so what you have said does not seem what is meant by the quote.

IMO, it would be more accurate to say that "reality has a liberal bias" almost always means "reality agrees with my prejudices" by the sort of people who like to use it because they imagine it is witty. It is the equivalent of the sloganeering used by conservatives and just as vacuous.

please-cli: Let ChatGPT generate your command line prompts
I think it is you that misunderstands the point made in the comment.

Their point is not that the cryptography is flawed, or that the results can be tampered with or that the electronic voting system is less reliable than manual counting and voting. In fact, I do believe that electronic voting is more accurate and less (or not) vulnerable to certain types of attack/fraud.

The problems is that a large part of society is not capable of understanding the mathematics, or validating the results themselves. They don't understand how the security of cryptography propagates through the system to provide the results of the vote.

This creates another attack avenue, that is, you don't attack the results of the ballot, but you attack the entire system. You discredit the system because it is complicated, you use the limited understanding of the voter base to invalidate the results. Discredit the experts, the mathematicians, scientists, etc. It should be obvious that certain magnetic personalities should have no trouble swaying their base that they are being deceived by these "experts"...

The traditional system is not impervious to such attacks, but it is less so.

EDIT:
But this likely differs by society too. Perhaps the answer to which system is better is: it depends.

> Henri Poincaré famously described them as "monsters" and called Weierstrass' work "an outrage against common sense", while Charles Hermite wrote that they were a "lamentable scourge"

For anyone here not aware, Poincaré and Hermite are some of the biggest names in maths ever.

If I was Weierstrass I would've taken it as a compliment that such big names were shocked. Note they're not saying the function doesn't exist or it fails to make the point.
ICANN warns UN may sideline tech community from future internet governance
Unless AI becomes indistinguishable from human beings on a cellular level, yes, it’s entirely relevant and is the single most relevant thing. A lot of people seem to think that if an AI can simulate the appearance of a human being, that makes them equivalent to one. It might introduce some problems WRT to determining if an entity is human or not, but this doesn’t somehow prove they humans are just a “parlor trick.”

This is a positivistic argument and as I pointed out, positivism has a lot of issues. The best counter argument IMO being that it’s needlessly reductive. This is all covered pretty clearly in the link.
If it's that simple, they would have done it a long time ago. In reality, many companies have very long-term contracts. For example, Apple may have an indefinite architectural license.

I haven't looked into all their changes in detail but they're not just going to suddenly increase profit without their customers fighting back.
> Financial services is particularly interesting as a study case as it is almost 100% information processing, hence fully "disruptable". Why is it not happening?

I'm not sure I agree finance has not been disrupted. I can immediately think a few financial industry disruptions, some even outside incumbents. Fractional reserve banking, credit cards, asset backed securities, online payment providers, regulation, hedge funds are some things that have changed dramatically how financial business (some aspect of it) is done during the last century or two.

One thing that may hide all this is is that the ones currently shouting loudest about disrupting finance seem to have a serious lack of understanding what finance actually is and how it works, and until they do, I don't think they disrupt anything.
Thanks for the reference to that book. I need to check it out now.
>The difference in scale is, I think, irrelevant. Under no circumstances would someone need to kill millions of people to stop a single stabber. At that point you're arguing the analogy, not the argument.

The argument is made in the form of an analogy though. And what's more the parent insists that the main difference is "scale".

I don't think the main difference is scale. I think the difference is one is a legitimate action in defense, and the other is not.

That's objectively so, regarless of if Hitler believed in a conspiracy or not.

And even if he did legitimately believe in a Jewish conspiracy, still killing non-participating Jews (like babies and regular folk) would not be in defence even then, it would be proactive. One could legitimately believe a whole class of people are in a vast conspiracy, and still find killing them that way abhorent and not wanting to do it.

That would be like the cop killing a guy who thinks might attack someone with a knife in the future, or who thinks their kid will.

That sounds nice and all (although as a canadian, too much heat due to lack of shade is definitely not the issue around here ;) ). I'd even go as far as to say that those types of life style changes have an important part to play.

Why because afaik they have a master IP license in perpetuity to ARM designs and they can chop and change what they want - nothing is stopping them from diverging from ARM reference designs completely and retaining just the instruction set because it is useful to tool vendors and programmers.
If I remember one of the original conditions put on the acquisition of ARM by the UK gov was that HQ stays in the UK. So I doubt that will change. Can't say I'm familiar with the tangible benefits, but I assume is exposes ARM to UK law and regulation more than if the HQ was in another country. And retains some jobs in the UK.

There must be some benefit for governments to make such a request.
An assumption of the hypothetical is that Hitler succeeded and created a utopia. The question was not about whether those means in reality could have possibly created a utopia; I agree with you, they couldn't have. The question was if we assume Hitler succeeded and created a utopia, then he was right?

Audio mixes have also changed. A false idea of “ naturalism” persists. If you listen to an audio mix to - film from the 1940s, 1950s and 1980s the dialogue is crystal clear above the rest of the mix. Now there’s a tendency to mix it all together which I find makes it harder to hear lines clearly.
Maybe it's my underlying German-ness but I don't understand why people would want an electronic voting system. Being confronted with the gazillions of possible failures in hardware and software, the idea seems at least risky to me. And for what gain? Can't we simply think of election day as something to celebrate democracy by putting a mark on a physical piece of paper? Call me old-fashioned, but I really enjoy visiting the election office.
Remote work has turned superyachts into floating offices
The power rails have a non zero impedance (as in not DC), and large currents flow through the rails.

These currents will create voltages that will seem to be noise to anything connected to them.

The caps provide a low Z path to ground so the currents so your rails are stable.

Circuits really need schematics though, so its kinda hard to explain w/out. The fundamental idea is easy enough, but dealing with this properly is very hard.

Darling is a pretty impressive project. I checked it out a few years ago and was able to get an old 32bit osx program running on linux, which was pretty cool to say the last. The amount of work that goes into stubbing and reimplementing all the frameworks is pretty mind boggling though, I'd commend anyone who takes up such a mammoth challenge.
You might want to start in Yokohama and walk north to Tamagawa Station. Then you won’t have the sun in your eyes so much. (That factor is more important to consider in the winter, though, when the sun is low and the sky is often very clear.)

Enjoy your walk! I did that route only once, and it might be the nicest one. My usual route was parallel to the Keihin Tohoku Line—Tsurumi, Kawasaki, Kamata, Omori, Shinagawa, etc. A bit industrial, but not bad on New Year’s Day.

There aren’t many possible routes because there are very few bridges over the Tama River.
There are multiple official camping grounds and caravan parks on the route. Unfortunately wild camping isn't allowed anywhere. I know that some people still try it, and probably so long as you're somewhere off trail, camp late and leave early nobody will bother you.
Windows gets hate because as a desktop OS it's an unreliable user-hostile experience with obvious security vulnerabilities.

Unix gets hate because as a command line OS it's an unreliable user-hostile experience with obvious security vulnerabilities.

They're both examples of worse-is-better, and (mostly) ignore the history of mainframe operating systems with more sophisticated security and reliability and - sometimes - a friendlier shell/UI.
With Facebook and Twitter you can make lists. This feature is fairly recent, I think they are the same as the late Google Plus circles.
I’m reminded of the philosophy of science, I think. Math in general is very powerful and effective at modeling the phenomena of the universe. But it’s generally not enough to simply show math notation to demonstrate knowledge nor come up with scientific hypotheses. Proofs can’t be written solely in the language of the system. There’s got to be some base intuition to a hypothesis stemming from some prior experience of the phenomenon under consideration.

(Yes, much of the standard model and modern computational science muddies this point. That’s illustrative and worth contemplation. Obviously, such are only as good as their data and calculations agree with reality.)
Those are not my points. I know it’s a long comment bordering on a post transitioning into a rambling, but if you don’t want to spend the time to read it and understand it, at least don’t produce a superficial strawman version of it.

The most important part to understand is that systems operate on a “use it or lose it” principle. This is why no one looks like Arnold while sitting in a chair all day, even if they eat all the protein.

If we stop being useful nothing can stop what we created from chewing us up and spitting us out. And all this while everyone involved may have the best of intentions even.

And most people can’t adapt that fast or at all to this situation. It has happened before, many times and it keeps happening at larger and larger scales, in shorter and shorter periods of time.

The Aztec and Inca didn’t adapt to the European tech and get “jobs”. They went extinct.
I love AutoHotkey, it basically gave me my start in this career and still makes me occasional commissions to this day. My current "Dave's Utilities" AHK is rather lean compared to times gone by, but I have these "essential" functions always a keypress away on my Win11 installation:

- ctrl+alt c / n / s for calc / notepad / snipping tool

- toggle "always on top"

- send to "other" monitor (I have a 2 monitor side-by-side setup)

- turn a Youtube "shorts" url in to it's regular Youtube page "watch" version via URL manipulation

- remap ctrl+shift+c to do nothing, instead of very slowly opening Chrome dev tools when I miss ctrl+shift+v "paste as values" in my huge Google spreadsheet
I did a similar trip between Prague, Krumlov, Salzburg and Vienna, with a few other stops in between, by bus and train. We saw a lot of things by just walking around and using local transport lines, which include stops in the middle of nowhere. The area between southern Czech and Salzburg is just amazingly beautiful. Of course, Prague and Vienna are also amazing cities to visit, but that everyone already knows.

We only caught trains in Austria, and they were extremely punctual!

There's a lot of discussion about whether electronic voting _can_ be done reliably and safely, but I think the psychological factor is also very important here.

An election shouldn't only be objectively trustworthy, it should _feel_ trustworthy. And all the cryptographic fundaments in the world simply don't provide the same certainty that your vote has been received anonymously, will be counted, and can be emited only once as introducing a sealed envelope in a transparent box while a person strikes your name from a list of voters.

The counting process is supervised by representatives of all parties with competing interests, and if you're still not sure, you can observe it yourself here since it's open to the public.

I simply don't understand the need to replace this process with an electronic one, which _at best_ provides the same guarantees, but in a way that is not immediately evident to the voters.
Thats quite a naive view. What do you think happens after they kill all the competitors? Do you think they keep their prices low?

Ah, sorry, my bad, it should have been "Escape" instead of ~"Windows key"~.

`Alt + Escape`, that is. Thanks for pointing it out. Corrected.

(You see, I almost never use this shortcut directly, b/c I only exploit it in those AHK scripts to do the "to previous" flip without doing any additional persistence or querying in the script, so I messed up when recalling it. In fact I thought it was `Win+Escape`, tried it, found out it was `Alt+Escape` instead, and then finally wrote `Alt+Win`. Bad braining today.)

I'm skeptical if that's design behavior, or if this article is in that category of "stories manufacturers write to trick people into not RMA'ing obviously defective product batches" ("A small number of DDR5 systems...")

It's not only the multiple 15-minute RAM boot times (!?) that are worrying: it's that I'd have zero visibility into what underlying cause is responsible for these "small number" of events, and what other symptoms could develop later on (outside the RMA window). I couldn't just take the manufacturer's reassurance at face value.

Overriding Rails engines models and controllers
The answer might be the legality of using copyright to block functionalities, the link describes how Accolade challenged SEGA on those grounds a few years later and succeeded:

"The legality of this system was challenged in the United States by Accolade in the court case SEGA vs. Accolade, which ruled in Accolade's favor. The verdict set a precedent that copyrights do not extend to non-expressive content in software that is required by another system to be present in order for that system to run the software."

In case of Nintendo, it sounds like a unlicensed cartridge still had a choice to work on the Gameboy and NOT infringe the Nintendo trademark. But if it decided to show the Nintendo logo on bootup, it explicitly infringed on copyright...
Mumbling is one thing, but most dialogue in a major production (+1-10,000,000$ ?) will be re recorded, at least partially, after the film is made in a process described as ADR.

It’s the audio mixing that’s changed into a faux “naturalism”. Just as you mentioned, 1940s and 1950s had audio mixes with strong dialogue separation. 1970s we’re different with the Easy Rider mentality and slam bam technique of filmmaking (fast and loose and cheap). 1980s and 1990s you return to your he studio system and clarity. Now we have a strange combo - the studio system has returned through the streamers yet the audio is mixed as if it was a small time indie production that can’t afford ADR (no Netflix production will have issues budgeting ADR however).

It’s an audio mixing choice. It will go away.
