I understand this not as objects are missing, after all, struct with methods and traits are objects aren't they? But more like the lack of hierarchical inheritance, that is most often used in OOP to conveniently share common code with added specialization. Override only the methods you want. You can do it with Traits of course, but it's much more verbose. You can technically use the defer trait to simulate a sort of method inheritance, but it is frowned upon as it should be reserved for smart-pointer like objects (so the doc says).

Security is very hard and that’s why even solid engineers fail a lot in tackling that. Especially because security is a cost center for vendors, while it’s a profit center for companies like NSO. So the resources invested are relatively more.

That said, Apple did an amazing job to improve security in the past years.

Seems like a potentially objective thing to determine. My impression is that the largest non-govt money flows are in the consumer economy which reflects the decisions of working people. Is that not the case? Are people not earning money for work and spending it? Does that not represent the largest portion of value created and passed along?

Zero-Sum vs Ubiquitous Abundance

I totally agree about economic mis measures. My thought is that we are approaching an age of ubiquitous abundance without the necessary psycho-cultural supports in order to not treat it as a zero-sun moment. Despite material well being, there doesn’t seem to be much realization of how awesome life is. It’s a philosophical tragedy.
It's weird that people ever thought that it would. The whole goal of creating an LLM is to make an AI that convincingly writes like a human, which makes it immune to any form of writing detector.

I've used them for five or six years. They keep getting better. The name sounds super sketchy, but they're legit.

They do charge for oddball forms, but they're super up front about that. Like when you select the forms they tell you the price. I have multiple income streams and multiple weirdo tax situations (farming, day job, three consulting firms, my own consulting) and it still only takes me 30 minutes to do my taxes with them.
Thanks @ryscheng!
No, it's really air, at least in the zinc-air cells I'm familiar with. A lot of hearing aid batteries used to be (and possibly still are) zinc-air cells. They had an actual air vent on them, with a little sticky tab over it so they wouldn't discharge on the shelf. You'd pull off the tab before putting them in your hearing aid.

This was a while back -- possibly they've been supplanted by some lithium based technology by now.
Money and economies of scale.

Food got cheap, people got rich, and humans are designed to eat whatever they can see.

Also, the expertise of its author is quite questionable. Browsers are insanely complex beasts, I think Mozilla does know their thing and necessary configs much better.
Your argument seems to be somewhat contradictory. You claim simultaneously that women can easily get the similar level of escapism attention from real men, but also Romance (an escapist fantasy that doesn't involve any real men, protection, resources/money, or status/social dominance) is a huge industry. How are both of these things true?

ChatGPT is absolutely wonderful at the mundane. I tried to get it solve a complex problem and it failed miserably but it did produce all the boilerplate around the problem that was perfectly usable.

I sort of a fear a future where the sheer volume of code has increased dramatically because people are pasting code from AI rather than re-using functions and libraries.

I've already used it to generate SQL code that was too long to do correctly by hand. Usually I find that a sign of a code smell and I should look for an entirely different solution but it worked and I didn't have to write it. Ironically even ChatGPT thought the output was too long and had to be coaxed into giving me the whole thing.

If I can get the formatting to work here... the simplest example would be:

/foo/element%2Ftwo/bar

this three element path ought to be easily parsed and routed to a handler for "foo" that can have two args which would receive the path elements:

element%2Ftwo
bar

in other words, one path element has a quoted slash in it. But instead, it gets unquoted at the WSGI layer into:

/foo/element/two/bar

and then such routing would fail entirely or get the arguments wrongly chopped up, depending on how routing patterns work in the framework.

This same problem applies to all the "reserved" chars from the spec, e.g. slashes, semi-colons, colons, equal-sign, asterisk, parentheses, and more.

Addictive behavior is dramatically turned down while not affecting normal desires somehow. I've noticed this quite starkly, and my sister as well who tried it (a lifelong nail-biter who's since stopped).

Finally, for some reason it fixes my sleep? I was an incredibly light sleeper who couldn't touch coffee because even a morning cup would interrupt my sleep. Now, I can drink coffee until noon and sleep like a baby.

> Dealing with real men (through a dating app) means dealing with flawed humans beings

That's why i said insta/dating apps is a simulator for women. They can interact with "perfect men" on these apps. the ideal firefighter with a golden retriever with a perfect relationship with his mom on tuesday and drake/blue check sliding into their dms on insta setting somthing up on friday.

it's a simulator in the sense that women don't get marriage/commitment/a family from these "perfect men".
Probably the same reason women are the primary creators on Only Fans and men are the primary consumers? This is just an automated, less authentic version, which was already a tongue-in-cheek girlfriend simulator.
Well, they don't. Browsers implement the WHATWG's spec, which says not to do that and was created to supersede RFC 3986.

There are compromises on all the platforms. SIO is really slick. Any software written to it will work with FujiNET, and basically operate with the network, as it would any other device.

From what I understand, the C64 product requires one to use BASIC to kick something off, just like everyone does for the disk drives.

But, after that it's looking like the overall features and experience are going to be there. The video shows command line access working. A more friendly client won't be far behind, and that could be in BASIC and perform reasonably in most cases.

By "easier", I mean it would be easier for the regulators to say, "you can have a dominant ad network or a dominant web browser, but not both."

But I was a bit imprecise with my language there. There are other regulatory remedies to a ruling like that besides discontinuing Chrome. For example, it could be spun off into a separate company, one which does not share any data with Google.

As for the fantasy scenario where Google stops behavior-based tracking, reading that ruling, I think they could get away with it, but there would be some grumbling. Let's say Google stopped tracking on its end, and then six months later, decided to block third-party cookies by default. Regulators could insist that Google keep third-party cookies on, but what leg would they have to stand on? Yes, it would affect their competitors in a big way, but it wouldn't give Google a distorting advantage over them.

And with every other browser blocking third-party cookies, if regulators tried to force Google to keep them, Google could just stop developing Chrome. Without behavior-based tracking, they have no business reason to develop it anymore, and how could regulators possibly say, "You have to keep making a browser, even though your competitors don't"?

3rd hand anecdote, but a friend who used Ozempic spoke to the psychological impact of seeing the cravings for food vanish that went beyond just the timeframe of the dose. A drug that effectively shuts off the compulsion helps demonstrate the disconnect between the desire and the need for food. She specifically called out that experiencing the absence of craving helped with willpower after the Ozempic dose was withdrawn.
Well that's what I'm interested in, because obviously women actively consume primarily written media where you actively engage with a perfect (or "fixable") man-- romance books! Dating sim games!

It is interesting to note how ideology ends up being used as just another marketing tool in situations like this.

Resisting simplifying tax filing, to keep the tax system annoying, is seen as a way to build anti-tax political support.

This is a hard problem to fix with UX, as evidenced by Apple's over-simplistic warnings.

e.g. Threads may collect your financial data! But only if you give it to them, usually to purchase ads or verifications, etc.. This scary warning is over-scary.

e.g. Mastodon collects less data about you, but there's no warning for "The backend is unencrypted and likely run by a handful of humans (who are probably nice but answer to nobody)."

> I always point at texas

Texas doing its own thing is, sadly, evidence against my personal favourite solution: a global power grid would, from a pure engineering perspective, be totally viable, and would mean you don't need any storage for stationary use — sun always shines somewhere on the planet, an a square metre cross section of aluminium is close to just one Ohm per 40,000 km, and that's only a few year's global aluminium for something that would easily last a century.

Unfortunately, Texas isn't even willing to join up with New Mexico, so this is unlikely to come to pass.
> Claims that China is the world’s biggest polluter ignore the fact that so much of the rest of the world has outsourced their manufacturing to China. Those emissions mostly aren’t going towards bettering the lives of Chinese people, they’re for producing the stuff we buy.

China still leads in total consumption-based emissions. On a per-capita consumption-based emission, China is not far off the EU average.

For hard numbers, CO2 emissions for export represent roughly 8% of China's total emission as of 2021. Considering that China emits twice as much CO2 as the next largest emitter (as measured by production), it shouldn't be hard to see why consumption-based emissions don't change the picture all that much.

> Porn is cheap gratification without deeper emotional connection. I don't think that people can grow without being challenged by others and AI cannot be programmed to challenge us.

I disagree. The potential is there, it just takes someone willing to do it. The incentives all align with making sexbots since they provide instant gratification.

In reality, it's surrogacy-turned-dependence. There is a time and place for surrogacy, but the current gen of bots have no boundaries and are unfit for the job. AI can challenge us if we just ask it to. Take a generic "sexy sex teacher" bot and replace its title with "intimacy coach" and there are actual healthy, real-life-applicable lessons that can be practiced online and performed offline to everyone's benefit.

Ironically most of these lessons would come from feminist teachings (traditional woman-love-thyself feminism, not the 2017 BPD man-hating lesbian UwU Tumblrina version) which have been entirely overlooked by the men involved in the technology itself. I'm not surprised Replika is as popular as it is-- it was created by a woman.

Such bots could do a better job than actual therapists, but saying that would challenge the livelihood of an industry of charlatans. Human therapists won't challenge you and will always tell you what you want to hear (most people won't pay someone to tell you you're an asshole); AI can do that far cheaper and more effectively as long as you include a clause about not allowing the user to harm self or others.
I don't really understand-- maybe because I've never been a woman on a dating app, but wdym by this? Are there fake men profiles on dating apps or something, and no similar women profiles?

> Anything that comes with a vendor's keys installed in it from the factory is both malicious and snake oil.

I don't agree that all trusted computing use cases are inherently user-hostile. DRM is a well-known example, but e.g. Signal used to do interesting things server-side using (now no-longer trusted, ironically) Intel SGX/TXT, like secure contact matching or short PIN/password security stretching for account recovery.

Android Protected Confirmation [1] is also trusted computing at its core, but can be used to increase security for users (although I could also see that usage encourage a device vendor monoculture, since every app vendor needs to select a set of trusted device manufacturers).

> snake oil because you can't rely on something for actual security if a break of any device by anyone anywhere could forge attestations

Attestation keys are usually per-device, so if indeed only one device gets compromised at great attacker expense, it's usually possible for a scheme to recover. If all devices just systematically leak their keys as has certainly happened in the past, that won't help, of course.
