Everyone is free to have their political opinions.

The issue with Musk is that those opinions are being manifested in the product decisions at Twitter e.g. taking a laissez-faire attitude towards hate speech and deliberating promoting controversial accounts in order to drive engagement.
A better way to fix this is to have multiple ways to log in. Printed backup codes in your safe with your personal papers and/or a Yubikey on your keychain. This works for Google and Github, at least.

Passkey syncing is more convenient, though, and probably an improvement on what most people do.
That turned out to be yet another instance of CNN lying about/acting on insufficient/poor information and has since been walked back by the very person that made the original allegation. Confusingly in direct contradiction with supposed excerpts from his book.

Isn't even the first time they falsely alleged that SpaceX shut down Starlink to cause Ukraine trouble and failed to follow up with a correction as loudly as they made the original claims.

it is a cynical comment that is meant to hilite the relationship between humans where oppressive and untrusting employment leads to increase in antipathy, ill-will, feelings of being abused and all of that leading to insider theft and serious pre-meditated betrayal ?
Which is funny because the 2nd factor is "something I have", which means if you don't "have it" then you can ever complete the 2nd factor. This ultimately means the 2nd factor, when you're phone goes swimming, is ultimately your printed codes.
Surprised this is the only comment mentioning the amazing Zyrtec (with Cetirizine) (probably misspelled, even with the bottle in front of me), in poem form.

But yeah it does work, smashingly. Also I found changing my AC air filter helped.
Lots of pharmacies display cards in the regular decongestant section that you can take up to the counter to get the ID-required OTC pills. It adds an annoying step, but they are hardly out of sight.
When your kid gets sick late and the pharmacist leaves at 6, why not have a packs of pills wherever you are.

Or god forbid, you run out at work and forgot the CVS takes a siesta nationwide at 1:30.
I disagree. Specially again that companies are centralizing on a couple 2FA companies (like Okta from TFA), this is just ripe for phishing. Okta itself is terrible at this; they don't consistently use the okta.com domain, so users are at a loss and have basically no protection against impersonators.
I never liked WebP, it didn't solve anything.
I'd be happy enough if they blended the SE and the mini and updated it every couple years. That's a fine phone for somebody who wants to be inside apple's ecosystem without needing to be bleeding-edge high-price.
Very sophisticated attack, I would bet most people would fall for this.

I'm surprised Google encourages syncing the codes to the cloud... kind of defeats the purpose. I sync my TOTP between devices using an encrypted backup, even if someone got that file they could not use the codes.

FIDO2 would go a long way to help with this issue. There is no code to share over the phone. FIDO2 can also detect the domain making the request, and will not provide the correct code even it the page looks correct to a human.
Ghostty: A New Terminal Emulator Written in Zig – Mitchell Hashimoto [video]
For the ability to comfortably use my phone one handed, I found the battery trade-off worth it.

But I don’t really travel far enough with just what’s on my person for it to be noticeable. At the very least I have a small bag, and some form of small power bank has always been in there. The 12 Mini charges incredibly fast in my perspective.

I was stubborn enough to use an iPhone SE until almost the release of the 12 Mini, and that thing has atrocious charging speed and battery life. But back then I was just amazed at how much better it was than the 5 I’d been holding out with previously.

Sure it was a downgrade from the X I used for 6 months battery wise, but I just never got used to the size. Maybe the long battery life was partially because I hated and avoided using it the whole time.

TLDR: Every 4-5 years Apple releases another small phone, and I generally refuse to upgrade until then.
Unity has internal champions for its features. Once those champions leave the company, that feature languishes and falls apart. Unity buys competing products, and then if the owner of that product leaves the company, it is no longer supported.

If the agreement changes underneath you as you're making the game, you can't budget for it, and trust is completely lost.

I have it on good authority that they just today learned what charity bundles are and how they work.

Imo, the price increase amount is basically irrelevant. Unity's reputation has already been rapidly shifting towards "untrustworthy" over the past few years because of the endless support problems and unfulfilled promises. At this point, I can't imagine pinning years of work on the hope that they won't pull the rug out from under you midway through production.

It feels like they've broken an implicit contract. This probably won't hurt studios pumping out mobile games, but it probably won't help their long term reputation or with the loss of enthusiasm in the community
Are the debt collectors not recording the calls? As far as I know, if they say "this call may be recorded" you can record it as well.
With AI, you can do more with the same amount of resources. In terms of head-count I'm betting we saw the peak of the tech industry. I don't think this is just a "regular" recession. Much the same way manufacturing left the US, and came back transformed. I don't think tech comes back the same.

The Israeli one shekel coin was counterfeited so much that it was more common than the real coin.

When they caught the counterfeiter, he was let off on a technicality (his coins were not an exact copy - they were missing a dot, and they were not magnetic while the real coin was), but the coins were so common they were accepted as legal tender.

(At the time people said that the counterfeiter was fined so much he had to keep the presses running all night.)

I stopped reading at paragraph 4. What idiot is buying lead acid batteries in 2023 for solar storage systems?

4 12V 200AH deep cycle lead acid batteries cost $1552 on Amazon and hold as much energy in practice as a 100AH 48V LFP battery which last 15 years, minimum, and only costs about 6% more up front. (Not linking to specific batteries in order to not shill for them, but do a little searching for 100AH 48V 4U server rack LFP batteries on youtube, and you will find dozens of tutorials.) Quality inverters last 30 years, not 10.

Are these people TRYING to light money on fire? Are they fronting for someone by trying to make solar look impractical? Or are they just stupid?
This sounds like a very useful feature, and we will prioritize this.

You’re correct that IVFFLAT would be faster for your use case. However, IVFFLAT’s shortcoming is bad recall, which means less relevant results for your application. We believe that our HNSW implementation (or other indexes) can handle use cases like yours.

We currently handle a similar use-case by rerunning our index searches with exponentially increasing LIMITs and dropping the results which are not needed. Could you send us an email at support@lantern.dev? We can generate the numbers by this weekend, and get back to you with concrete results.

By the way – not sure if you saw in our blog post, if you’re using pgvector in production and switch to Lantern, we’ll help you every single step of the way. It’s very quick, and we’ll also send you some free AirPods Pro at the end of it!

I don't care about the title. As you know, the mods have changed it. And it has nothing to do with the discussion, besides; the cooperative principle means that it's not enough to say something true—you need to say something true and relevant.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grice's_maxims>

This is the issue: you are in the untenable position where...

- those you are defending had a charge leveled against them

- they have acknowledged that they were doing it—there is no cloak of plausible deniability here, and yet

- you are defending them on grounds of plausible deniability, anyway

So square the circle—and stop mentioning the submission title. (I'm not interested in the title. Nobody is.)

>FIDO2 can also detect the domain making the request, and will not provide the correct code even it the page looks correct to a human.

I could not agree more with this sentiment! We need more of this kind of automated checking going on for users. I'm tired of seeing "just check for typo's in the URL" or "make sure it's the real site!" advice given to the average user.

People are not able to do this even when they know how to protect themselves. Humans tire easily and are often fallible. We need more tooling like FIDO2 to automate away this problem for us. I hope the adoption of it will go smoothly in years to come.
Yes, the punchline of the joke is that synthesizing pseudoephedrine from meth is more convenient than buying Sudafed after the law on restricting sales ostensibly to reduce meth production.

i.e., the law didn't do much to halt meth production but did put a bunch of barriers around a useful drug _and_ promoted the use of phenylephrine instead, a useless drug in pill form. A huge net negative.

As I mentioned, there are numerous parts of the story that don't add up. The MGM Grand, as I stated, has over 5000 rooms, a random front desk agent would not be able to verify identity by describing the layout of one specific room (nor would that be compliant with security procedures).

The car park machine, "popped to the desk," driving or wandering Las Vegas without ID, the identity procedure... I'm comfortable with my assessment that there is something not entirely correct with the story. You are welcome to disagree.

Only one commit and it's from 5 years ago, in which time both engines have changed quite a lot, so probably useless in its current state

Neat idea, but impossible to do perfectly. There's potential I'm sure to do imperfect conversions of scenes and assets, but game logic and custom data is going to be pretty much out of reach

At best, this kind of tool could be a jumping-off point for someone who was otherwise planning to do a fully manual port

I remember my earliest LAN game was the first Warcraft RTS, mainly because slower school computers could still run it and it allowed for "spawn installs". I got to experience real LAN gaming later in the 90s because I traveled to Europe. Sure, my friends in the US would play Tribes, Descent, and Quake, but we never had a room full of powerful enough computers to play it on a LAN.

When I got back to the states, I was hooked. I built my first PC (a Pentium III with an ATI RAGE 128, I believe). I must have been 14. A few years later, I made a video* about the LAN parties. It's a good time capsule of the experience.

I blame SAML and any other federated login being an "enterprise only" feature on most platforms.

So users get used to sharing passwords between multiple accounts and no centralised authority for login. This causes the "hey what's your password? I need to quickly fix this thing" culture in smaller companies which should never be a thing in the first place.

If users knew the IT department would never need their passwords and 2FA codes they would never give them out, the reason they give them out is because at some point in the past that was a learned behaviour.
It's worse than that, because it's not actually a void that's being filled - meth production simply switched to a different pathway that's even more effective and potent. There's actually more meth than there was before the ban.

> They’ve always included GSuite

I wasn't saying that. You have no idea what % of overall revenue is GSuite vs core GCP. Until you do, your "mostly gsuite" is purely speculation.

> Adoption has never paid a bill, anyone can sell a bunch of dollars for 95 cents and you can’t just hand wave away depreciation, servers have to be replaced, they aren’t just keeping the same servers online forever.

I wasn't hand waving away depreciation. I was saying the depreciation (which is when capital hits the IS) is very likely going to outpace revenue for years given the growth rate of cloud adoption. We're talking at least another 10 years before they stop allocating capital towards data centers. To illustrate this further:

year 0 - $1B for data center buildings + server racks

year 5 - $200M for refresh of server racks

So, profit will come much much later. Amazon has proven this many times over.
That's just modern software in a nutshell, nothing is ever "good enough" for designers/companies and they must change it no matter what.

The settings app for example was perfectly fine, it worked well for what...near 20 years with only slight tweaks. Now I have to use the search bar for settings, because it's not obvious at all where to find a lot of them.

And yet things that would be useful like a volume mixer are still nowhere to be found.
A Cursed Bug(2022)
The lack of unification between NT and Win9x before XP was abysmal. Basically you had to have 2 partitions, one for gaming, one for business. NT was unable to have games, Win9x was unable to be useful for business due to sheer blue screens. So yeah, I include NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and W2k in that shitty phase as well. I know it very well because I've lived through it. XP ended that. Hence why, after 20+years, you still have the majority of ATM's and plenty of other KIOSKs around the world still running XP.
> everyone knows that it is cheaper for a company to mass produce the same hardware at scale then lock/unlock features via software based on the model the vendor wants to make. in order to make different lower price models, some features are disabled.

If the OP is correct, this is exactly not what Apple has done. They've equipped the lesser models with last year's SoC. The question of whether this is the kind of feature that ought to be gimped, ever, in 2023 remains.

> it's clear that some people just have issues with retail and companies making things they don't agree with and just come to the internet to argue, and here i am falling for it.

Perhaps you would have had a happier time if you hadn't attributed intentions to me which I did not possess, a couple of times. But if you enjoy doing that, well... enjoy!
Here's the thing I can be sympathetic to the plight of climate activists, but many times it strikes me as having a lot of uncomfortable parallels to the end of days Christian millenialists that got big in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Both meet the criteria of

- Believe that we are rapidly headed for an end of the world catastrophe

- Believe the only way to avert catastrophe is by everyone in the world suddenly making massive (unrealistic) changes to the way they live and how society functions.

- Seem more interested in evangelizing and catastrophizing than actually convincing people.

- Want to use the power of the state to force others to live in the way that will avert the imminent crises.

- Get incredibly upset when anyone questions, (even well intentioned) their beliefs and proposed solution.
I strongly disagree. Tiger was the best Mac OS ever looked in my opinion, but this is of course subjective.
I think the thought, like death, is simply so horrible it defies full consideration. This is why climate activists can seem fanatical, because it has a religious quality. Either you believe “it” will happen in our lifetime, very soon, or it will not happen at all, and it’s this horrifying, apocalyptic nature of the problem that causes this schism. If some of these climate scientists are right in their claims it is the most important thing for these activists to do. I’m sure we can all draw parallels here.
No worse than the 10 minute delay rule in DllCanUnloadNow.

DllCanUnloadNow returns an indication that a DLL can be unloaded. A DLL cannot be unloaded if any threads are executing the code. But a DLL can only change to the unloadable state by executing some code, and that code has to return after it has set the indication. Only after it returns is the DLL is actually unloadable! So a delay is needed for that thread to vacate the DLL.
