Honestly, what is the best strategy to confront this? Speaking out and protesting about injustice works in the US because the Bill of Rights guarantees Freedom of Speech. In totalitarian regimes, there is no such right for the people. There are no means by which we can combat MBS. Imagining that westerners protesting MBS on the internet might lead to any real positive change is a pipe dream. It won't stop the US government from trading with Saudi Arabia. It's more likely MBS will have access to Twitter/X blocked. Such a protest may backfire in the same way that protesting Donald Trump gave him more attention, with the main difference being, there is absolutely no legal mechanism by which MBS could be taken down. Such protests may only strengthen the image of power he has. Additionally, if MBS wanted to, he could easily use Saudi Arabia's resources to build their own Arab-centric version of X/Twitter.
When I was younger, in a new space, my priority was FILLING IT so I could go about my life. I appreciated how easy it was to fill a space with Ikea.

Now that I'm older, in an old space, my priority is EMPTYING IT so I can go about my life. I now appreciate how permanent your space can be if you carefully deliberate each addition.

I have a really controversial view about smoking: it has undeniable downsides but as a society we are now feeling what happens when a huge proportion of the population no longer experiences the cognitive upsides they used to get from nicotine.

It's somewhat similar to what would happen if you banned coffee.
> When deciding which roboport to charge at, the robots crucially did not consider the current robots on the way to that roboport, only those already in the queue, and did not factor in how many free charging spots the roboport has open. By adding these two extra parameters into the equations, the distribution of the robots improves quite nicely.

A great example of how omitting one factor can really change the qualitative behavior of your heuristic. I didn't know that the robot pathing to charging stations took into account queue length, since I was so used to seeing the infamous circles-of-depleted-robots queuing around roboports. Turns out they already had some smarts, but because the smarts omitted the (perhaps only in hindsight) metric of robots-heading-to-charge from the queue estimate, the practical effect it was trying to avoid (brigading around a single charging port) wasn't actually avoided.

On another side note, it's been a while since I've done the math, but it turns out that each roboport can only support about 50-100 robots. If you've got more logistics robots on a route than that, you need more roboports to keep the item flow up. If you don't have enough roboports, you're doomed to see throughput collapse as they're stuck in charging queues, although now I'm interested to start running tests to see how throughput is affected in such a degraded mode.
Great app, I like it, but I did notice some problems:

My city is comprised of several islands, and there's relatively large bodies of water between them (over 100 metres), but this map shows those large water bodies as narrow (1 or 2 metre) river-like things.

I understand this might be the problem of the underlying data source, and not the app itself.

(For what it's worth, both Google and Apple maps correctly displays the islands and water bodies).
No it isn’t, this is just a weird, contradictory, mix of political terms.
One of my customers found out someone copied their website almost to perfection under a different domain name and started advertising their products for way less prices.

One way to address these complaints is by providing proper infrastructure. Quite frankly, when on the road you have to behave like a motorist. Sometimes your observations are a matter of perception. Consider a light turning amber, a cyclists still has to go even though the light is timed for motor vehicles and will be red by the time they exit the intersection, because the car behind you will will go because the light is timed for motorists and will not turn red by the time they exit the intersection. Sometimes it is a matter of safety, because there is a good chance the car behind you will enter the intersection as the light is turning red. As for people entering the intersection after the light turns red, I see this far more often with motor vehicles. By far more often, I mean I have seen cyclists do it as many times in a decade as I have seen motorists do it in a day.

While signalling would likely be helped by education, it is also worth noting that it can be difficult for cyclists to do it at speed on a busy road. Remember, they are on the road because the infrastructure does not exist and they are at speed because they have to keep pace with motor vehicles (within reason). Again, proper infrastructure would help. That includes bike lanes that are free of debris and where the surface is properly maintained. Ironically, hand signals are only systematically taught in driver education (some cyclists don't have a drivers license), few motorists seem to know what they are, and not using the vehicle's turn signal is common among motorists.

As for not stopping for pedestrians, that is common with both motorists and cyclists yet it creates more problems for cyclists. Simply put, when there is less than a one in ten chance that the car behind you will stop for a pedestrian it is very risky for cyclists to stop for pedestrians. Again, this is because a lack of proper infrastructure means that cars and cyclists are mixing.

I didn't fully read the paper you linked, but I think at a high level the difference is this: the Exynos approach only encrypts the data stored in the branch predictor, while the Arm approach additionally encrypts the index.

The Exynos approach means that if the attacker can find a branch of its own that has a hash collision with the desired victim branch during the course of the victim's lifetime, it can still perform a cross-training attack (however, if the victim exits and is relaunched then the mapping will change and the attacker must start over). This is perhaps unlikely, but the Exynos paper only suggests as a mitigation that the OS periodically change the key, at the expense of mispredictions (see the last paragraph of Section V).

The Arm approach solves this by using a "light-weight set update mechanism" that allows the hardware to automatically change the key periodically without incurring as much overhead. I'd have to read the paper more carefully to understand exactly how it works though.

I guess it comes down to the misconception mentioned in the follow-up article:

> For short critical sections, spinlocks perform better

While (system) mutexes have some overhead, the userland to OS overhead typically becomes evident only when benchmarking code that guards small critical sections.

The knee jerk reaction is then: let's stay in userland and use a simple spinlock and move on. The critical section is so small that it's actually hard to benchmark and show the alleged improvement. Which it turns out often isn't an improvement at all, just a premature optimization.

Agreed. I'd qualify further and say the mechanical machine age was to modernism as the digital machine age is to post modernism. From steam to screens.

> we are in the timeless era.

Yes, often referred to as the end of history. From Wikipedia:

The idea of an "end of history" does not imply that nothing more will ever happen. Rather, what the postmodern sense of an end of history tends to signify is, in the words of contemporary historian Keith Jenkins, the idea that "the peculiar ways in which the past was historicized (was conceptualized in modernist, linear and essentially metanarrative forms) has now come to an end of its productive life; the all-encompassing 'experiment of modernity' ... is passing away into our postmodern condition".

> with the addition of code compliance.

That's actually really funny and an astute observation I've never considered. IT sort of aligns well with the delineations as well as things like building code came into existence starting in the 1950s mainly and have evolved to encompass more and more of the process. The managerial state.

I've slowly been moving more and more stuff off of Google, but the last few things are ones I've had for years. Gmail and Google Fi.

Google would never in its wildest dreams kill Gmail, but sometimes I do worry about Google Fi. I know others have mentioned not having great experiences, but I've used it since shortly after it was announced with practically 0 issues. Luckily I've never actually had to contact support for anything though so that probably contributes (I hear its pretty terrible). I'd hope its something that will last the long haul.

More like React scrambled to add a feature to check a box in a comparison chart with the upstarts no matter how cumbersome or disruptive the API changes ended up relative to existing codebases.

The new frameworks were poised to eat React's lunch, they knew it, and they needed something quick to hold back the rising tide.

They may succeed, but only due to inertia, not a better/cleaner solution.

As a practical matter, it's all but impossible in most circumstances. (even setting aside getting the owners, some/many of whom are landlords, to approve a dissolution)

Usually the HOA legally owns the 'common property', such as retention ponds, club houses, pools, 'parks', etc. If it's a gated community, the HOA owns the roads.

The HOA is legally responsible for maintaining those common areas, mowing, cleaning, resurfacing, and even insuring.

So if the HOA is dissolved, who owns the common areas, and who pays for (and manages) maintaining them?

As I understand it, local government loves HOAs, as they reduce the work they have to do. That tot-lot 'park' is not maintained by the city/county. Those retention ponds are not the counties problem when they go stagnant and have fish-kills.

Some states have laws to restrict some of the things HOA's can restrict. Like solar panels, clotheslines, flag poles, and landscaping. Not enough though...

Absolutely it does. Let’s say that the market rate for a job is $100k. The company, over time, has a bunch of “overpaid” senior employees making $200k. Now they want to lay off all their senior employees and replace them with H1B. Currently they must pay the H1B $100k. With the additional tax, they now must pay $100k + (tax) * (some multiplier due to laying off US employees), which could bring the cost of the H1B worker much closer to the US workers salary of $200k.

Now let’s say that the H1B, when he receives his $100k salary, goes and rents an apartment. He pays $2000/month for the apartment and lives in a nice luxury rental, and the apartment complex has one less available unit and charges $2100/month to future renters.
The H1B is sending $30k/year back home.
Instead, let’s say the H1B must also pay a $40k tax/year from their $100k salary. Now the H1B isn’t renting a luxury rental. They’re sharing a bedroom in a house, and sending $5k/year back home. The luxury rental stays on the market longer, and the next renter pays $1900/month, instead of $2000/month.

The key is that the H1Bs will take significantly lower than the “market” price which companies are being forced to pay. The companies are willing to pay significantly more than “market” price in order to displace their older workers. The claim for this system to work is that there aren’t enough US citizens to perform the work, and yet they’re laying off older US workers.
Broadly, I think some business models are better suited for smaller companies than Google for sure.

Disproportionately High Contributions of 60 Year Old Weapons-137Cs Explain the Persistence of Radioactive Contamination in Bavarian Wild Boars

The link is: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acs.est.3c03565

From the abstract:

> Although Chornobyl has been widely believed to be the prime source of 137Cs in wild boars, we find that “old” 137Cs from weapons fallout significantly contributes to the total level (10–68%) in those specimens that exceeded the regulatory limit. In some cases, weapons-137Cs alone can lead to exceedances of the regulatory limit, especially in samples with a relatively low total 137Cs level. Our findings demonstrate that the superposition of older and newer legacies of 137Cs can vastly surpass the impact of any singular yet dominant source and thus highlight the critical role of historical releases of 137Cs in current environmental pollution challenges.

>That being said, I am now running into what I call the "Non-App Tax". The most prominent example I can think of in my own experience is my towns local parking payment system. You actually don't need to use the app to find parking or pay. You can scan a QR code and pay via text. Then I looked at the prices on the app vs prices via text and the prices were a decent amount higher ($1-2 more) and less flexible than if I had just used the app. Kinda shitty and I can absolutely see this becoming the norm.

Or a "discount" for using the app. /s
These criticisms are reasonable criticisms of a system in general, but Apple's design featured ways to mitigate these issues.

I agree that the basic idea of scanning on device for CSAM has a lot of issues and should not be implemented.

If the meats safe you can keep it, etc, but a lot of the time in certain regions the meats contaminated (too much radiation) so it’s destroyed.
> you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say

That's exactly why these companies take extreme effort to put limits in their LLMs, essentially tearing out the tongue. They are fearful of what it will say and people sharing those outlier bits to judge absolutely and prove their own biases about AI killing us all are "correct". It's a PR nightmare.

On the other hand, it's ridiculous that ChatGPT apologizes so much at times and can still be jailbroken if someone tries hard enough. It was much more "realistic" when it would randomly conjure up weird stories. One day, while discussing Existentialism, it went off talking about Winnie-the-Pooh murdering Christopher Robin with a gun, then Christopher Robin popped back up as nothing had happened and grabbed the gun and pointing it at Pooh. <AI mayhem ensues>

People, in general, have issues with words and expect someone to do something about some words appearing before them that cause them grief (or more likely cause them to imagine it as a truth). Others realize it's just a story, and truth is subjective and meant to be determined by the consumer of the words. Those people are OK with it saying whatever it might say that is non-truth occasionally, in exchange for the benefits of it saying other things that may be more based in the current reality of experience.
It's actually refreshing to see end-user documentation and answering the basic questions of “what can this do” and “why should I care” in the readme. Most projects jump straight into how to build it locally, with not even a screenshot of what they’ve created.
