> but iPhone’s really aren’t more expensive than androids, per year.

> The 5g SE (2022) is $429

iPhone absolutely are more expensive than any other phone if you care about things other than the CPU/GPU performance.

The 5g SE has a tiny screen with archaic bezel design and still uses LCDs in an era where not giving you an OLED would be seen as a ripoff on the android market. It starts at 64gb of storage for this $429 (in France, it's actually 529 euros), my S20FE from a couple years ago which I bought at 400 euros on deals had 128gb. It has a very big, 120hz OLED screen and the finger print sensor works from underneath the screen.

For me, and many others, the phone is primarily a content consumption device. If the CPU is good enough that I don't see stutters all the time then it's good enough. I don't need my smartphone to be a laptop in the pocket. I do need a screen that I enjoy looking at and big enough that I can use it to read ebooks.

This in turns is heavily reflected in how many Apple users will splurge the big bucks to get the iPhone models that are comfortable to use despite their insane prices.
Right now, the cheapest phone Apple produces with a large screen is the iPhone 14 Plus at 969 euros.

There's a reason why the iPhone SE is the least popular of all Apple phones despite having far-more-than-good-enough hardware performance and longevity while being accessibly priced: it lacks what people actually wants out of their phone, Apple knows that and they keep the SE the way it is because they wouldn't want to cannibalize the sales of the expensive phones. If you look at any statistics, the SE is like a rounding error compared to the sales of the other iPhones.

I get anxiety about humanity forgetting how to build foundational tools. I feel better when the occasional weirdo dips down into the weeds to try things from scratch. They're often writing blogs and sharing their knowledge, which is nice for keeping the dark arts alive. They're also equipped with knowledge that we didn't have the first time through, and might be able to come up with something fundamentally better.

Good way to help ensure we're not stuck in some local maximum.
I did wonder that. But you just know they're going to make you work those hours when crunch time happens.
I'm convinced that autocompletion is a curse that enables this madness.
The point is not whether ivermectin turned out to be the best tool against Covid, the point is that it's safe for humans to take and early in the pandemic when everything was being tried, it was not crazy or dangerous to try ivermectin. There was an actual censorship campaign to stop open discussion by qualified medical professionals of anything but the state-approved solutions, the vaccines with a shifting official story which turned out not to be vaccines.

The excoriation and censorship of ivermectin before a study showed the confounding parasite idea, and the subsequent coming out of the woodwork to embrace that study, served to increase the sense that it was not about truth and research, but about only allowing certain messaging.

It causes infinite loop when you click the GitHub link on that very website with the article, as it redirects to the article. I assume there is no GitHub repository yet.
Honestly if you just stick with CISA's known exploited list then you will be ahead of most operators and spend less time ghost hunting stupid shit.

I really have come to despise CVSS (and especially how tenable will put predictions in the CVSS column for officially unrated vulns) and how assessors seemingly so not have to justify their 'findings'. Not exploited, no poc, needs root to use, why is this a High? Come back to me with something good.

You can boycott the bad companies. Spread the word about how they are bad so others can stop using them as well. We live in a world where anyone can communicate with anyone else on the planet. The power is in the hands of the many.
How else would you name this? I don’t think you can make it any shorter without making it either incomprehensible or losing critical detail.
For sure. That is how I would generally use "suppress," I think that's the common conception, but the article seems to be using it more in the sense of shrugging something off; they're asking participants to refrain from imagining certain scenarios while presenting them with stressors.

I agree about language and it's been my experience that many disagreements boil down to using different definitions for the same term. Tangentially, I have a personal project that's a sort of "individual urban dictionary" to try and help people avoid such confusion, by enabling them to define their terminology and provide links to it, but it's on the back burner.
Maybe you could generate Python and pass it to numba? In my very limited experiments writing numba Python is like writing C, this also includes segfaults etc.

That kinda sounds like more complexity rather then less for "labeling translation system".
Where does suppressing negative thoughts end, and reality denial begin? There are many unpleasant realities that we must learn to cope with that cannot just be ignored or forgotten.

Credit card debt is a source of negative thoughts for many - and not just low-level grumbles, but genuinely distressing anxiety. People kill themselves over their financial difficulties. But having a debt is definitely not something we should encourage people to suppress, because it gets worse if left unattended.

It’s not just mundane realities like debt that are potentially dangerous if ignored. Should you try to suppress negative thoughts about pain, or worries about a growth on your skin, instead of seeking medical treatment?

What should we do with delusional or criminal people who believe something about themselves that is plainly wrong? Should a kleptomaniac seek to affirm their behavior, or should they confront themselves?

How can we tell the difference between the thoughts that are safe and healthy to ignore, and those upon which light should be shone?
Yeah "I felt lonely and wanted to be where the people are, so I wandered through the suburbs" really doesn't make sense. I think this is just a bad question.
> when you run into yet another stackoverflow copy

OMG. Why doesn't Google filter out the likes of geeksforgeeks for instance? How is it possible that it always come before the genuine SO answer?

Even without offering the possibility to filter out a domain (which they had, and later removed), how does the ranking algorithm not see those horrible, zero value clones??
Yeah if it was some one doing it in their spare time as a joke, cool. Not great writing but i wouldn’t have commented.

But for a company with a budget for a marketing campaign this is pretty poor.

You mean like Orion by Kagi, Mullvad Browser, Brave, Falkon, Safari, DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser, Firefox Focus, Midori?

I feel like the best browser in this market has yet to show itself.

I doubt it will be one where the author claims it will fail.
Yeah, exactly! I mention this in the context of PyPy at the bottom of the post. Numba is another great suggestion here.

Re: TCC: I know, right? I think it would be good to see how much we get from a) just not allocating the whole graph every time and b) doing it linearly/bytecode-style, both while still in Python-land.

A few years back I made a concerted effort to learn Isabelle, the HOL based theorem prover. Proofs read a bit like natural languages but are fully rigorous, moreover Isabelle has application in math as well as programming. What's not to like.

What I found out was, that after diligently doing all the tutorials, and making all the exercises, there is still a huge gap between my skills and what is needed for real work. Note even that, you cannot even follow proofs of real theorems. Even with the reference manual in hand, trying to follow along word by word, there is a lot outright missing. From what I could gather, those that had successfully learned it did so at the hand of a master who explains the arcane incantations needed to get from proof state to proof state.

I'd still love to learn a formal theorem proving language, any one really, and be able to do formal proofs, but i'm not sure how. Coq seems even more arcane than Hol/Isabelle. I'm not sure about Lean, but I'm skeptical about learning it without having an expert on call.

Yeah, in exponential processes, the exact value of the base matters exponentially.
The CVEs aren’t the problem.

You are describing the problems related to Vogons who assume all bureaucratic inputs are perfect. All tickets should have an escape hatch where some person with direct experience with the software can report false positives or “not an issue”.

Those are different than the purpose of the article, which is describing the variance of quality of CVE data.
One person does not a market failure make.

In order to be a market failure, a whole shitload of people have to want the feature in question, and yet although it could easily be made to happen, the feature is still not delivered. That's a market failure.

Give us a reasoned and researched piece of evidence as to how large this potential market is. Like, how many people would actually buy it, as opposed to all the people who say they'd buy it but then don't actually put up the cash when the feature is delivered.
If Rust is a must, surely contributing to Servo[1] and learning by sending small PRs to start with would be more beneficial.

there is no magic to capitalism, only greed. when that aligns with your definition of efficiency it’s a coincidence.

capitalism can also be very harmful and inefficient for society. companies draining aquifers and producing tons of disposable plastic bottles to sell people that water for profits is a net negative for modern society. that money should go towards improving our water infrastructure so no one feels that their water is unclean. so much plastic pollution is the result of capitalism too.
When I was a teenager, this was the first example I encountered of fandom being thrilled by a phenomenon, only for the band itself to say they had no idea of it and it was a marketing department’s idea. In spite of whatever cachet of rebelliousness and individual creativity rock still had then, many bands were already functioning as whole corporations, with teams of assistants producing much of the band’s image.

That's what logging is, fundamentally. printf debugging, but with your own printf that has a few more knobs.

Both ecosystems have their own pros and cons but I wouldn't trade my Pixel for an iPhone ever.

In fact, I recently got a refurbished iPhone 13 just to check the ecosystem out (as a mobile dev) and get a feel for things but honestly I prefer my Pixel more. There are so many things that Android does well like notifications and typing (these two stood out to me on Apple - horrible implementations really, especially the latter) that it will always remain my primary driver.

But yeah, if someone thinks that Android is not for them and Apple's walled garden is worth entering then or vice versa then whatever floats your boat, I guess.

But there is also poverty => poor housing in less desirable areas => more pollution in general. Including Air pollution, car exhausts, lead from leaded gasoline.

This is well known e.g. (1) and seems like it would be a large effect.

I'm not saying that this invalidates the studies on lead, I'm sure that the researchers know how to do it far better than I do, and have spend a lot more time on accounting for it; just that poverty drives increased pollution exposure, as a general rule.

Who is more likely to be able to score a CVE accurately — a nameless faceless CVE triager at NIST (or similar organization) who is working as a liaison between the reporter and the maintainer… or the maintainer himself?

The CVE is a pure record. It has not guarantee of accuracy and should be treated with this knowledge. That’s what tptacek’s comment is saying. People who attach all sorts of contractual requirements on the assumption that every CVE is perfectly reported and recorded are setting themselves up for inevitable garbage-in, garbage-out situations.

My impression is that while domain specific models do better in their domain. They do not generalize well and cannot be transferred to different domains without retraining. Hence comes mixture of experts (domain specifics). The trick is to juggle them all. Which needs another quite capable 'manager' model. The good thing is that they can be trained separately. Also at inference there in no need to call them all. Existing models, like GPT-4, can be used to create datasets for experts, or enhance/balance existing datasets.

"Writing a browser" (from scratch) at this point basically means you are implementing a type of portable operating-system-in-a-box (the web platform) and that it will be compatible with whatever Google decides to add to theirs.

The browser is so comprehensive in functionality and APIs, and such a challenge to keep up with Google's constant churn of new features and total dominance, that not even Microsoft could do it.

Here is my somewhat related pet project: Tersenet. https://github.com/runvnc/tersenet
It's just a concept, virtually no implementation. But I deliberately picked a set of requirements that are designed to be feasible for people to implement. Much less involved than a full web-browser. (Related discussion with GPT-4 https://chat.openai.com/share/16d02b78-f876-4c87-949a-a60b4f...)
