I was also reluctant to upgrade to 1Password 8, mostly out of principle. I didn't want to pay for a subscription.

But after having reconsidered my disaster recovery procedure, I swallowed the bitter pill after all. The problem is that I need to be able to recover my passwords when 1) my house was on fire AND 2) I left my phone behind during the evacuation.

My 1Password db was stored on Dropbox. But my Dropbox password is in 1Password. Furthermore Dropbox sometimes requires 2-factor auth via email... and my Gmail password is also in 1Password. And Google is quite a bit more serious about 2FA than Dropbox. So even if I write down my Dropbox and Gmail password on paper and store them at my parents' home, I still can't login to Gmail easily because I have lost my phone.

This can be solved by writing down even more stuff on paper. Or by storing a USB stick of the 1Password db at my parents' home (but now the stick should be encrypted, where do you store the key?). The point is: the rabbit hole goes deep, and you have to keep all that stuff updated. Plus my parents will have access to all my data. Not that I don't trust them, but what happens if someone breaks into their house?

All this can be much simplified by just getting a 1Password subscription. I store my 1Password secret key (not master password) at my parents' home. They can't do anything with just the secret key. I memorized my master password. All 2FA recovery codes are in 1Password. This way everything can be recovered without the risk that my parents or a burglar at their house can access my passwords. I think this simplicity in disaster recovery is worth the subscription price.

Kids today are growing up in an age where people do not have shared experiences when it comes to media. When I was a kid everybody sat and watched TV every evening, and the next day we would discuss it at school. This no longer happens anymore: everybody is watching on-demand content (or TikTok) and there’s so many different services and so much content that it’s rare that anything breaks through and achieves a critical mass of viewers that allows it to enter the cultural consciousness - Squid Game is a good example of that happening.

You don't have to come up with hypothetical scenarios if you already have a real life example to look at.
I think tests are probably one of the closest things we can get to. If I ask you a question about the thing you claim aptitude about, and you cannot answer it but we are claiming that doesn't measure aptitude, then I think we are getting into the weeds of what semantically aptitude is.

C and C++ are often used because at the optimization level that these sorts of libraries use, Rust makes tradeoffs that do not work out to 0 overhead. I would personally suggest that Google et al invest in figuring out how to make "formally-verified C" a more widely adopted language for libraries that are truly security-critical.
Micromanagement: The Unpopular Truth You Need to Hear
Summary: most private universities in the US except for the very elite actually charge much less than their sticker price (which they keep high to give the impression that they're Harvard quality), by giving a "scholarship" to virtually every student attending that reduces the amount paid by 50% or more. In actuality, the inflation-adjusted actual cost for private colleges has stayed fairly stable for decades.

That's obviously and blatantly them putting their thumb on the scale. It'd be like if Burger King were to pay car manufacturers to make it so that the second half of the gas tank only works for driving to Burger King drive-throughs. That's not how cars should work and ISPs shouldn't pull the same kind of shit.
This is great. I hacked a smaller version of this together when I built an LLM app with Elixir. Honestly, the async by default of Ex is so much better suited to this stuff, especially as it’s just api calls.

According to StatCounter Firefox's market share of all browsers is 2.93% followed closely by Samsung Internet(?) 2.59% and Opera 2.26%

I wouldn't call that "just fine".

If not for Safari (18.84% market share) Google could just dictate what happens on the Internet, because Chrome-based browsers would be the de facto standard.

The only reason sites still bother to support non-Chrome browsers is the fact that people on iOS monetise REALLY well compared to other segments.
I am not a highway or materials expert, but I would expect that 191 kN in one spot is a lot worse than 76 kN in many spots? The cars and trucks spread over the entire highway add up to many more kN, I assume; it's the concentration of force that matters.

Possibly, past a certain threshhold the road is destroyed and needs replacement, and 76 or 191 has the same outcome.

Another way to think about it: Imagine you wanted to break up the road, intentionally, for some useful purpose - repaving, etc. If someone supplied a machine that blasted the road with 43,000 foot-pounds, I might expect that it was overkill.

One approach that might be reasonable is for device makers to provide a hypervisor to control actual hardware access, and then implement their environments in virtual machines running under that hypervisor.

iOS then becomes just one environment that the phone's owner can choose to run under that hypervisor. Within any given environment the maker of that environment should be free make it as open or closed as they want.

The device maker should have to make it easy to run different environments.

I'm pretty sure the NVDA pump finally convinced the AMD board / C-Suite to prioritize this, but it takes time to steer a big ship. I'm hopeful, but there are still bad incentives to jump the gun on announcements so I'll let others take the plunge first.
I don't think this is right at all. Tailwind comes with no opinions about your styles other than their default units of length (p-1, p-2, p-3) having a set REM scaling. Perhaps you're thinking of e.g. DaisyUI [0]? Or some other CSS framework built on Tailwind?

Humans appear to have evolved for sex to be a social function as well as reproductive. It is pure speculation that it is for reproduction only.

It is also the case in animals for gender and sex to be separate. There was the manatee that had enough anal sex with another male manatee to kill it, recently. Birds regularly turn up as homosexual, like the swans in the Boston Garden. Male dogs will hump almost anything for a portion of their lives.

I feel cheated by Apple a little bit.

I bought an Apple Silicon machine after their presentation claiming that they would have first class docker support, but the reality has been that while the first docker worked well as it was translated, now it wants to default to arm containers and it has become very difficult to use because it doesn't want to use Rosetta 2 containers.

The whole point of using docker is to use the same containers in production as you use in development, so having docker default to these random arm containers means that my containers aren't exactly production, because they are arm based and the servers are not.

I understand that docker is the developer of docker software, but I really wish I could just click a button and force intel based containers in docker as the default and have to opt-in to arm.

If anyone has an easy solution to this let me know. I don't want to spend hours and hours figuring out docker on my mac.
Bivens is not the only possible way to sue a federal employee individually. I do agree that it isn't what this case is about, but more because it seems both parties and the court are all in agreement that the plaintiff can't sue the officer under federal law (except for the attempted Bivens claim).
If you like Apple's policies, just don't sideload and install everything from their official AppStore. Nothing will change for you then.

You can do it on MacBooks as well.
AMD has a history of providing sub-par software, and their strategy of (partially) opening up their specifications and have other people write it for free didn't work either.

ROCm makes me sad, as it reminds me of how much better GPUs could be than they are today.

I've lately been exploring the idea of a "Good Parallel Computer," which combines most of the agility of a CPU with the efficient parallel throughput of a GPU. The central concept is that the decision to launch a workgroup is made by a programmable controller, rather than just being a cube of (x, y, z) or downstream of triangles. A particular workload it would likely excel at is sparse matrix multiplication, including multiple quantization levels like SpQR[1]. I'm hopeful that it could be an advance in execution model, but also a simplification, as I believe a lot of the complexity of the current GPU model is because of lots of workarounds for the weak execution model.

I'm not optimistic about this being built any time soon, as it requires rethinking the software stack. But it's fun to think about. I might blog about it at some point, but I'm also interested in connecting with people who have been thinking along similar lines.

Also... many posters suggest use of Rust may be a solution...

It may turn out to be... but I think a more broader generalization of the language /compiler aspect of things may be:

Not so much to "use Rust", so much as "NOT to use C".

That is -- any library performing decompression of any sort (regardless of whether that decompression is related to visual images or not), if it uses C and lookup tables and implements decompression -- should at least be considered a potential source of future problems, and should (ideally) be migrated to a more memory-safe, bounds-checked language -- in the future.

Rust -- may or may not turn out to be this language...

Negatives for Rust -- large size and complexity of Rust's compiler source code.

Positives for Rust -- Rust's treatment of memory and bounds-checking.

Anyway, some thoughts on the language/compiler aspect of this...
Tracking is prevalent everywhere in the American education system and means that this argument is wrong. If you are getting downtracked because everyone else is cheating with ChatGPT, that's bad.
Thanks for the correction. I read PikHAL ~25 years ago and don't recall that detail, though I remember him being aware of the substance and having heard of various reports of others consuming it back to about '70 or so.

That said, it seems he first consumed it in Sept '76 and that event put it in psychotherapy circles.
I love your cynism :) And I agree, this is totally "the circle" level

Eh. Thinking plastic would last forever was probably a reasonable assumption at the time. I doubt it was the billionaires making that design call. Though in hindsight maybe we should have known better, given the history of lignin and natural waxes.

Though especially given the history of lignin, we probably have millions of years before medical devices being eaten by microbes becomes a widespread problem that anyone seriously needs to worry about. There's bigger fish to fry right now.

Every app asking for every possible access to your stuff no matter if it needs it or not is currently protected against by the app store, not the OS.
When Microsoft was accused of monopolistic behavior for integrating IE into the OS IIRC it was the DOJ who went after them. In this case, it's the FTC, seems like it should be the DOJ to go after Amazon based on Microsoft's case.
There's all the ML features that have that Android and windows are still catching up to. Let me know when I can search for that paper document I took a photo of by ctrl+f for a string I remember in it.
It's just BS. Privacy and security are OS functions, not part of an app store. iOS has a good base here already - certainly much better than windows where every app can just arbitrarily read every file on the computer...

The best way I found to arrive at an MVP it is to set a very aggressive time-based deadline, start executing, and aim to release something early to only a few users. Then rinse and repeat with another intermediate milestone. It then becomes necessary to throw out stuff that does not fit, and also even a very early-stage intermediate milestone is the best way to get feedback (esp on onboarding, UX and pricing). Trying to come up with MVP on paper - I've found that whatever you define still comes out bloated.

You are the primary audience. Time series forecasting with deep learning is fraught with inconsistency. Someone on r/ML went pretty hard on detailing a survey and the stuff that was SOTA 10 years ago still is. Wish I saved that thread. The dude was well published.

It's like taking a rabid badger as a roommate.

You can in theory keep it cornered in its own room (sandbox), but there's no way to be 100% sure it'll stay there. You can be absolutely sure that it will never stop trying to get out.

App Store apps can be trusted to stick to a sandbox because they are vetted to a standard before being allowed there.

There's no reason for Epic-F-Droid-Store have their applications adhere to any kind of standards enforced by Apple. They can do whatever shitty manipulative tricks they want to try to escape any OS level sandboxing Apple tries to build.

Doubly so for 3rd party browsers. A browser has a huge attack surface and can also run code (javascript and WASM at the least). Keeping it secure and sandboxed is not a trivial thing.

This is a very good point. On the literature side, Harry Potter seems to have attained this critical mass, too. One of my daughter's school friends was shocked that she hasn't read it, and lent her the first book. She read it, and when I asked her about it, she said "well, it's kind of ok". Of course, one of the reasons of HP's popularity is that it's not difficult to read - the language is relatively simple, the books are not overly long, etc. OTOH, having recently read LotR, Ursula le Guin's Earthsea and some Sanderson it's no wonder that she found JKR a bit... boring.
Why type or use a sound board. You aren’t thinking mission impossible enough

Live transcribing in realtime has been a thing for, forever, so there’s no reason for me to think this couldn’t all be glued together into a “voice changer” like the typical super deep “I have your son give me a million dollars” boxes, except instead of doing frequency modulation it is pipes to a model trained on someone’s voice, and applies it. Transcribing to text probably isn’t even needed because why would it be for machine to machine modification. It only needs to go to text for human consumption.

Raw pcm bits from audio in -> AI model trained on victims voice -> line out to phone or voip app.

We totally have the compute to do that. Probably with our phones.

Everything I've heard from people I know who organize events is that cancelling is very, very expensive and gets more so the closer you are to the date. Venues carve that space out for you and expect your attendees to spend a certain amount on food and alcohol. When you cancel, they're out a lot of money. Both from your event and the event they could have booked. That's why it gets more expensive as it gets harder to find a replacement.
Apple is very far from a monopoly in EU:

In the first quarter of 2023, Apple obtained 26 percent of the European smartphone market based on shipments. Historically have Apple's sales been very cyclical, peaking in the fourth quarter each year.
Because there's no point as they need their apps to be cross platform and so Apple is setting a baseline for what behaviour is allowed.

But once Meta, Epic etc can run their own stores on both iOS and Android they will absolutely move their apps to them. Epic has already said how important this is to be able to implement their metaverse strategy.

The Mittani were pretty fascinating in general. The extant writing (including Kikkuli) have many Indo-Aryan loanwords almost identical to the more-or-less contemporaneous Sanskrit [0]. They also seemed to have worshiped many of the same deities. It's possible that they were part of the same original group as the Vedic Sanskrit speakers, migrating out of central Asia in different directions, after significant interaction with the non Indo-European Bactria-Margiana Archeological Complex civilization [1].

There were the Hittites and other Indo-European speakers in the area as well, but those were different subfamilies, associated with migrations at different times from different areas.
