The majority people everywhere is very clear: there will never, ever be a safe way to make elections with paper.

It’s funny how all of sudden the forward thinking, all-digital tech community turn itself in old school conservative when discussing digital elections without even considering the bigger issues with alternatives.
I tried it and after a short time I came across websites that locked me out and told me to disable my adblocker. Even at the highest block level it doesn't change anything. With the normal uBlock Origin version, most sites just work and don't even show the anti adblock notice. An ad blocker that is not able to bypass the annoying anti adblock measures is useless garbage.
Designing Microsoft Fabric Workspaces
Microsoft Fabric extends the Power BI workspaces with more item types, but those workspaces come with a lot of baggage. If you're coming from Azure Synapse Analytics or Data Factory, it may not be easy to figure out how to utilise workspaces best. We'll dive into it in this article.

for instance it's in our constitution that after the identification that someone can vote, the vote MUST be anonymous. even on the paper time. unlike votes by mail where you have identification (we simply can't have here, for instance)

I'm skeptical on many things, but what you said is much harder to happen than just buying votes on poor neighbourhoods or influencing local militias on our second biggest city.

This is less far off from reality specially for legislative positions.

>Arm reported $524 million in net income on $2.68 billion in revenue in its fiscal 2023, which ended in March

>i find the current valuation ludicrous, and it seems like it's pushed more by Softbank's Vision Fund than a firm grasp in reality.

Just for comparison, AMD, which is still quite small, gets about $2b - $4b annual net profit. Intel, before their recent disaster quarters, had as much as $24b in annual net profit.

$524m in net income is peanuts compared to the big boys. This is what I was saying in my original post. ARM is a more valuable company if they were acquired by Nvidia. As a standalone company, it's not that great. Again, a weird quirk of ARM is that their biggest customers are also their biggest competitors. This puts a cap on how much profit they can make. If ARM decides to raise licensing fees exponentially, which is likely not simple due to long-term contracts, then companies will seriously look to RISC-V.

Because ARM is the smallest fish in the pond, it can't pay for the best engineers. The best chip engineers will go to AMD, Intel, Nvidia, Apple, Qualcomm, and startups. ARM is where these companies go to poach.
I agree you need to consider total compensation. It's still not even close though.

The company pays half the cost of excellent healthcare and the remaining payment is very affordable. Maybe in the case of a very serious long term illness you might go bankrupt, in which case the NHS these days is also not as much of a guarantee as it used to be.

The risk to reward ratio is acceptable. Most healthy young people with talent are far better off working in the US and saving enough to retire at 45 years old. I say this as someone who would like it to not be true having loved living and working in the EU and UK for many years. But the numbers do not add up. It's especially sad because it results in brain drain. The saddest part of it is that there is no reason Facebook can't afford to pay the Dan Abramovs of the world the compensation they would get in the US. I'd like to better understand why the gap is so big.
You don't need investors, unless you think you can't get users without buying them. The platform you described don't need much resources and can be bootstrapped. You can still capture just 1% of the value that Match Group captures and live nicely.

I think the reason we don't see competitors like that is that dating without aggressive monetization won't be much better for the average user.

Most of the advancements in technology ultimately trace back to materials engineering breakthrough.

Even just 2x or 4x higher energy density batteries would have a tremendous impact on electric aviation and drones, phones, and so many more things.

Sw with super conductors except that would be even more exciting, and we would get a new generation of incredibly sensitive sensors and antennas.

I could go on and on but the main point is like what you said, the materials drive the breakthroughs in innovation if technology (in many cases)

This seems... cool but pretty pointless for indoor air purification. Maybe this is more like "passive purification".

But an air purifier needs to turn over all the air in a room to purify it. My air purifier running at full speed takes half an hour to turn the air over in my room.

Presumably this would never be capable of purifying a room to any sufficient level, it would just be a tiny 0.5% upgrade to a good active air purifier. Like having a desk plant.

IMO I would drop the light concept, and put this thermocatalyst reactive material inside of a standard air purifier to replace the carbon filter. Unless this material isn't capable of handling a large workload, in which case... Ok
> want rentier incomes with low risk.

I don't know if I buy your point about inherited wealth but there is what I'd describe as a stifling culture of rentseeking that, if not actively encouraged is certainly tolerated and overlooked, at many levels of society, and across both businesses and public organisations. And once you become aware of it you start to realise how obnoxious and oppressive it is.

We certainly don't lack for talent, but we're very good at suppressing or wasting it.
And what about long-term illness? If he fell ill for 1+ year, would his salary and healthcare be guaranteed or would he go bankrupt?

High temperature isn't a problem for cars. It's simple enough to have a small fuel cell which can be heated up quickly, which in turn can provide the energy required to heat up a larger cell if needed. A small battery can drive you a few miles while that process is happening. The small fuel cell could then recharge the battery while parked if most journeys are only a couple of miles, avoiding the energy cost of heating the large cell except for extended journeys.
Тhe closest equivalent is maybe hammerspoon. But the automation ecosystem on mac is much bigger:

- KeyboardMaestro is pretty equal, but is paid and takes a more gui-centric approach to automation building. Definitely more user-friendly.

- BetterTouchTool has a lot of intersecting features, but is more catered to gui scripting and gestures.

- Alfred has introduced automation scripts and triggers.

- There is also Shortcuts, which is sometimes quite odd to use and limited, but has the advantage of Workflows working on mac and iOS/iPadOS.

> I believe that online voting is a fundamentally bad idea

I (I worked in the Brazilian electronic voting system in 2002) agree. That's why the voting machines can't connect to the internet and voting is completely offline (totalization is entirely based on signed files in flash cards transferred via sneakernet under strict chain-of-custody protocols).

Another aspect of the election that's very important in Brazil is secrecy of the vote - to the point that, if a voting machine records only votes to a single candidate (effectively disclosing the option of all its voters) it's either discarded or merged with another machine in the same polling place.
Your example of the Go AI being programmed to learn is not all that accurate for what has been achieved here. I didn't keep the link for the discussion on the confounding of the Go AI system. What the discussion covered though was that there were simple Go configurations that the GO AI failed abysmally on when playing a human - it didn't learn here.

I have spent forty years dealing with all sorts of computer systems - designing, building, maintaining, repairing, redesigning and rebuilding. One thing I have learnt over that time is that none of the systems ever built has been error free in terms of the logic entailed within them. All to often, I have seen systems that were used to make decisions with and those using them assuming that the outputs were correct or reasonable. Yet on investigation, the logic entailed in them was completely rubbish.

We make assumptions and often we do not carefully check that those assumptions are actually real. I don't trust anything I write until I have gone over it with a fine tooth comb and then I will try to document all my assumptions and this usually shows up various logic errors or conditions that I didn't think about. I don't see this happening much out in the real world.

I’ll admit it now: in the very early days of bird scooters they accepted visa and MasterCard test numbers. You could start rides and only after a week would they block your account. Of course, the only thing you needed back then to sign up was an email. If you had an android, you could just wipe the cache, enter a nonexistent email address off the top of your head, paste in a test card number and get going again. Fond memories.

Workers making more than $100K laid off at alarming rate
There are two comments we should learn from this story. I've advocated them for years and I've been dismayed that even professional photographers and those in the imaging/scanning business don't advocate them as mantra thus they haven't become common practice.

First, don't ever throw your slides or film negatives away as you may need them again (if you're sure you'll never want them again then give them to relatives or failing that to those who collect and archive old photos). If you have scanned them then pack them away sealed from dust, dirt, high humidity and high temperatures.

Second, if you are scanning negatives or slides then never skimp on the resolution, if you do and you no longer have the originals you can't rescan them for more detail (the large size of high resolution scans is not an issue these days). The classic error many make is they scan say a school or army platoon photo at low or medium resolution and it looks OK on the screen, later when they have to select an individual from the group and need to enlarge the image it's too pixelated to use. (It's very disconcerting for say a family who has lost a soldier in war and they can't recover his photo.)

A Kodachrome slide under good conditions has a limiting resolution of around 100 lines/mm and a 35mm negative or slide is 24x36mm which means the scanned image has to have at least a horizontal resolution of 3600 pixels to extract all the picture information. 100 lines/mm resolution means you need set your scanner to at least 2500 px per inch. In fact, ideally you should scan at double that rate to allow for the Nyquist factor—like your audio CDs which sample at 44kHz to get 20kHz audio reproduction, you should do the same with photo scans. Sometimes, scanning at the Nyquist rate (here, 5000 px per inch) can be difficult so you should set the scanner to as high resolution as is practicable).

Even today, scanning is fraught with problems that remain unclear to many. As mentioned, the biggest is the lack of information and I blame the professionals for not adequately informing the public.

The next is the lack of good scanners and it's a big problem—and Kodachrome slides have special requirements when scanned. Ideally, slides should be scanned at a color depth of more than the standard 8 bits per channel (24-bit) to stop color banding in sky areas. (Banding shows up as annoying discontinuities in colors that are close but range over a gentle gradient such as sky areas and it's caused by insufficient bits). Kodachrome has enough color dynamic range to make banding obvious. Banding is stopped by going to 48-bit color depth but unfortunately many scanners cannot support it (hence my comment about the lack of good scanners). It's also an excellent reason why you should keep your original slides and negatives.

Also, Kodachrome slides are particularly difficult to scan because they are intrinsically different to other color films in that they contain residual silver and this throws the scanning out. The better scanners allow for this and they also come with specialized software to overcome the problem.

Yes, building a mental map was one of my original motivations for walking from Yokohama to Tokyo. When I did the walk for the first time, in 2006, I was working in Tokyo and had traveled between it and my home in Yokohama hundreds of times, but only by train. I worried that, if I were in Tokyo when a big earthquake struck, I wouldn’t be sure about the best route for walking home. After walking the other direction a couple of times, I stopped worrying about that.

On the day when I could have actually put my newly acquired geographical sense to good use—March 11, 2011—I happened to leave for Osaka a few hours before the quake struck. All of my colleagues either walked home or slept in the office that night, while I had a comfortable hotel room in Namba.
Sensory appearance not being equivalent to reality does not have any relevance to the question of AI and humans ultimately being the same kind of information-processing system. Just handwaving "that's X philosophical position and it has problems" does not strike me as a good argument either unless you manage to explain how these problems pertain to the question at hand.
The most impressive script I found and modified at some point long ago was while playing Diablo 3. I had been getting a bit of an RSI issue because I was pushing my mouse hand too hard into the mouse pad, so I looked around for some means to play it with a controller.

The script would bind your analog move to a little circle around the player, allowing you to smoothly run in any direction. You could then press a button to alter the range to distant for casting abilities further away. With just a bit of customization per class it worked amazingly well.

When I fly to London for work, I take the Heathrow express to Paddington and then a short cab ride to my hotel.

If I had to switch to the underground and then walk, I’d just take a taxi the whole way or rent a car at the airport.
You are talking about unmonetized open source (which I agree with you about). But the context of this conversation is companies monetizing open source. I have been in both situations and it wasn’t a problem when at the company monetizing.

When electronic voting was introduced in my country - Bulgaria, immediately the results were quite different than previous elections - with as much as 10% diff.

It was largely attributed to the fact that incumbents did not know how to “hack” this new system (yet?) but were pretty adept at cost effectively manipulating paper ballots.

For example they would infiltrate remote areas with little to no observers and stuff the ballot boxes.

Once the new electronic voting system was introduced, suddenly they didn’t know what to do, so the votes ended up more representative, e.g. much closer to projected numbers than before.

Now the system is “electronic counting + paper ballot” So you still go to a voting place, there are still independent/multi party observers, there are still paper ballots available for recount, but you have cryptography on top of it to prevent traditional tempering.
Could be perhaps done as one of the easier straight line missions[0].

Why would Apple ever want to own ARM? Their internal CPU design team is years ahead of the ARM team. Apple has an architectural license and doesn't care about ARM core designs.

Quite honestly, ARM falling on its face hard is actually a benefit to Apple. That would mean that Apple Silicon and iPhone SoCs have less competition. Imagine if Qualcomm chips based on ARM designs are 5 years behind instead of the 2-3 years now.

But the Nvidia + ARM combo made sense from a technical and strategic standpoint though.

That's not correct. While you can't get it from GitHub, there is a process to audit it and any Brazilian citizen (or resident, I'm not sure) over 21 can request and be part of it. The process extends for many months starting the year prior to the election. Input from the multiple audits and tests are valuable in guiding the evolution of the software and hardware.

I cannot prove it, and this is entirely anecdotal, but my friends and I have observed it first-hand from VC dealings and friends in the right UK circles. Inherited generational wealth and class in my experience powers UK investment, particularly in the start-up scene, much more than in the USA. Of course, there are some exceptions I can think of in the UK but it is very much tied up with the class system there and understanding this makes life easier. The same situation affects other European countries to some degree, and many people I know have had to go to US VC firms to get funding. I have spent a lot of time working in all of these countries to some extent and the UK class system seems to be increasingly stifling. YMMV though.

I think it could be argued that the basic form of this was around as X.509 certificates far before blockchains. I'm not sure what the history would be before that, though.

Also, in my mind at least, the idea for doing secure attestable history comes from git. Once you have a crypto-DAG it's a fairly easy transition into other data structures although ordering becomes an issue with trees. I'm almost sure something else must have existed because it's not a far leap to a crypto-DAG when you are doing things like HMAC.

As much as I like the NHS, it’s pretty shit compared to the healthcare a Facebook employee would get in the US.

Wait weeks to see a GP, long waiting times to see a specialist or for treatment, rationing of access to technology like MRIs, and a risk of dying in a hospital car park or corridor, or being killed by an overworked A&E doctor.

Don’t get me wrong, the NHS is great, I love that Boris Johnson got more or less the same care in St Thomas’ that a homeless person would have received (perhaps a bit better).

But on an individual level, the FB engineer in US certainly has better care available to them than one in the UK.
It's both, the methods by which the election is made secure and accurate should be understandable by most people. Most people don't understand cryptography and cybersecurity.
