Stuff like this does not happen by accident, nor in a vacuum. The only reason we don't hear more about this is that important people don't want us to.

Maybe? I thought IPA was just phonetic but I see that it does have some optional prosody stuff that could in theory cover some of it. I'm not sure how standard or complete it really is in practice.

I haven't heard of any large datasets of IPA transcripts of speech with the detail necessary to train a fully realistic STT->LLM->TTS system. If you know of some that would be interesting to look at.

When the tech boom in SF is over, and the city is a ruin of its former grandiosity, all that will remain are the Capsule Pods, a stark reminder to future generations of the hubris, but also dedication, of generations past of tech workers who flocked to the city for its abundant opportunities.

Just like Tokyo which embraced urban decay once its economic boom of the 80s and 90s ended with a turn of its economic fortunes, the mighty capsule hotel lives on. Monument to humankind's quest to sacrifice everything for a better tomorrow.

When the AI wars had decimated SF's landlords by sucking talent to low-slung Nevadan and Midwest campuses with their giant on-site data centers where vital AI IP could be protected in-house from then-rampant corporate espionage, and tech workers became used to living on sprawling estates overlooking the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, the rolling plains and mighty rivers of the midwest, or even the snow-capped peaks of Colorado, all that remained in DTSF of its former glory days were the Capsule Hotels, now passed around through many owners, clinging to life through contorting themselves in gymnastic knots to satisfy the whims of frequently recalibrated zoning laws, relentlessly fine tuned by desperate councilfolks in a futile attempt to try to revive the once mighty tech city by the sea.

Somewhere, in a moldy and much forgotten capsule hotel, on a crowded steamy backstreet, in a once grand part of downtown San Francisco, a young techworker wannabe with a recidivist 90s grunge fashion sense, now all the rage, tries to corral their GPTBook into creating the next killer AR app. On the back of their torn black shirt is emblazoned the phrase, in deliberately aged white plastic ink: "Staring at the gutter, dreaming of the stars." above a logo of Elon Musk fighting Mark Zuckerberg in a cage fight, with a Mortal Combat style "FINISH HIM" banner in red beneath the ironically pixelated color rendering.
Do you remember the palm pre? That was an idea before its time... One of the few tech things I'm nostalgic for. They wouldn't ever get a massive user base if they tried the same thing now but if they did it again with multi-day battery life and the same web app focus I could see it having some staying power.
The headline is a bit misleading. It implies there is solution to reverse climate change that just so happens to be both fast and cheap.

What the study actually claims is that delaying doesn't make the cost of any solution cheaper. No matter what the solution is, it gets more expensive the longer we wait.

Nature to retract major Ranga Dias superconductivity paper
All this terminology is muddied and often misused. The whole term is supposed to refer to getting access to the root user, which is definitely an OS-level thing. One thing people often don't remember also is that gaining root on your phone and unlocking the bootloader are not only different things, but entirely separate things. You can gain root in your vendor ROM without being able to unlock the bootloader (common case on Amazon tablets), and you can install LineageOS in your phone after unlocking the bootloader but you still won't have root access in the OS unless you do an extra step, setting up Magisk or similar. You also have to re-set-up Magisk after every LineageOS update, which often means once a week if you do all the OTA updates in a timely manner. Gaining root is usually the easier thing and the less useful thing. It doesn't help much with getting a nearer-to-AOSP experience. You can remove some apps but there are still limits to what can be done without just flashing a different ROM with less crap in it.

When picking a phone I like to see if it's on the LineageOS devices page (you bring up a good point that different variations of the same model aren't equal, definitely watch out for that), as that means both that the bootloader is unlockable and that someone else is already maintaining a ROM for it, and hopefully will for years to come. If I just go after the shiny new hardware, chances are the bootloader is locked and it will never be unlocked, generating e-waste.

Thank you, with all the different Chromebooks around it's a little difficult to choose.

Regarding Apple: I've had some really bad experiences in the past with a Mac Mini G4 and an iBook G3, especially regarding customer service and repair and from what I've read the repair situation got even worse now. I expect that the device will be handled a little rough (like I said using it on the couch etc) I'd really worry about breaking a MacBook.
If business software practices is not enough of a proof, look at any massive online games. They all use one central server as a source of truth about the game world, and broadcast that state to the clients. Anything a client reports that diverges from the central server view is either corrected, rejected, or becomes a reason to disconnect the client for cheating attempts.

If you need strict order, that order should happen in strictly one place. (The universe itself does not support strict order at a distance, as Special Relativity shows.)

Devil’s advocacy here (and I know this is overwrought and beaten to absolute death here and abroad daily) but is a large dependency tree really that bad?

Most modern backend development assumes a ton of dependency management, tech like Docker has proven for at least 10 years that it can be manageable in production at scale. While I get that browser compatibility can be a pain in a way that the backend doesn’t have to reckon with I don’t really see why dependency management for something like React should be a decision factor for front end.

That’s also not to insinuate that we should just do it (SPA + massive amounts of JS) because browsers can handle it or that there are zero downsides to JS dependency management, but rather that the positives and negatives of zero-JS solutions should be adjudicated on things like developer experience and speed of delivery.

If you're doing any SNI filtering, you can validate the SNI with the certificate passed in the ServerHello (which most tools skip, because that's computationally expensive in comparison). This involves reconstructing message streams as well, of course. You'll also need to figure out how to deal with 1RTT (probably block it).

I don't think it's much more of a pain than it already was. You can disable the feature on your side if you don't want it, and block+log any traffic with ECH enabled. Hell, you can set up an intercepting proxy with your own CA if you want. That way, nothing gets out without at least getting logged.

Of course this becomes quite difficult if you don't own the devices you're monitoring, but that is kind of the point behind TLS/ODoH/ECH.
This is very wise of them. Rolling out new network features is always going to be something of an experiment, no matter how confident you are that the feature meets all the standards and works in all browsers and all OSes. You never know what weird stuff is going to be out there that will screw things up. Back when they first tried to roll out TLS 1.3 there were tons of problems due to buggy middleboxes in corporate networks that couldn't conceive of a new TLS protocol. Thankfully they worked around it, but it probably sucked for the guinea pigs.

CloudFlare's giant footprint of free customers gives them an advantage: it's way more acceptable to roll out new potentially downtime-causing features to users who aren't paying than to businesses paying you hundreds to thousands of dollars per month. The free tier gives them a bit of leeway to experiment, and gives them massive amounts of data from around the world to tell them how those experiments are working.
Yep, the site is very slow in Southeast Asia.
It's great indeed. Extremely well designed, great instructions. Even comes with an alignment bar to make sure all the switches end up straight.

And the frontpanel is truly a work of art. The multilayer printing on the plexiglas in particular, but also the surround.

I soldered it all in a few hours but I'm very experienced. Even if you're new to soldering it'll be fine as long as you follow the instructions and take it slow. Double-check every switch type (there's several different types!) and position before you solder it. Make sure all the LEDs fully hit the board so they point the same way, the switches are aligned etc.

It's really an amazing kit. You can feel the love that went into it.

If there's anything I'd change I'd make it 1:1 scale. And the switches don't really feel like the real thing. I've played with a real PDP-11 and the switches really have that "someone paid 100 grand for this back in the day" feel to them. That satisfying affirmative thump. Which is very hard to replicate with off the shelf components of course.
I think this type of article is dangerous; moving the goalpost and ‘proving we can’ can end up catastrophic; even if true, this is about human psychology of inaction. Most of us need to be on the verge of death before we take action. Letting us believe this is the case while we have a little more time in reality is better than saying we have more time upfront, as we will just do nothing until that time has well ran out.

Paths to conversion are typically rather complex and have multiple touch points.

Awareness is a big deal and a necessary step before it's possible to even be in a consideration set.

For example, TV ads typically rank very low in any self-reported market research on influencing purchase intent.

And yet if you run a test in a DMA pulling TV ads you'll see sales decrease dramatically.

While the industry likes to pretend it has come a long way, in many cases marketing and advertising is still just as much "I know half of my ads work and half don't, I just don't know which half is which."
I don't see such a graph for TL2? I do see one for TLRW though which does use reader locks, hence the scalability cap.

Oh there's < 5% chance (lower honestly) that they'll add more than two layers. Pipes and belts have two layers (underground in their case). I think there's a graph theory theorem that you technically only need unconflicting crossings (~two layers) to be able to draw any valid network (that doesn't mean it'll be pretty but it'll be possible, i.e. it can embed designs that the previous system would simply be unable to represent). Anyway, at this point having exactly two layers is a factorio theme.

I think you can rest easy if you're worried that factorio might implement more than 2 layers. I like the sound of a mission-oriented problem solving core loop. Maybe allow players to create and share their own missions, that could add an engaging social element. Good luck!

Not just BlackBerry. The entire phone industry was caught flatfooted by iPhone.

I helped cover Apple for a large investment bank. The day of the iPhone announcement in January 2007, I saw a press release from Motorola come across the wire, in which the company announced yet another phone with a keyboard. I felt pity for the unfortunate souls who had designed it, worked on its launch, and wrote the copy for the press release, and who now had to see their efforts fly into the iPhone Hurricane.
Doing bad things with your data certainty does not seem inversely correlated to the market cap of the company doing it. They might have 'a lott to lose', but they also have a lott of lawyering and a lott of political clout protecting their rackets.
They have all kinds of discretionary laws that are quite prone to interpretation, which could easily land you in prison.
Crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital co-founder nabbed at Changi Airport
Truth be told, none of this was wrong. In 2023 the following is still true of iPhone: the keyboard is shit (physical beats glass any day). The durability is shit. The battery life is shit, comparatively, but this was worked around by making the phone much larger and the battery not user-replacable.

As it turns out, none of this was important as a decaying society, in a sort of dystopian positive feedback loop, placed far more importance on the ecosystem of mind-numbing, venture capital-backed social media tools as opposed to the efficient use of email and text messaging.

> where DNS is used to control which datacenters customer traffic is going to

That was never reliable in the first place because of caching and non-compliant DNS servers, but:

EDNS has a DNS protocol extension that will send your IP subnet to the authoritative host even if the request has gone through various resolvers.

Not all DNS servers implement this (notably, Cloudflare doesn't). You can easily check if your DNS server sends your subnet along DNS requests: try to open https://archive.today/. If you see a Cloudflare error or a connection refused/500 error, this EDNS feature is not supported. archive.* intentionally sabotages DNS responses for servers that don't carry these extensions.

BGP anycast would be a solution that can route customer traffic to local datacenters without needing to fall back to DNS hacks and the many broken DNS intermediates.

Any CDN or shared hosting provider could implement this same standard. The only way it's truly useless is if a web site has its own IP address / small set of IP addresses.

(Or if the user isn't using some form of DNS privacy like DNS-over-HTTPS/TLS, but then their domain connections are exposed regardless of whether their CDN/host implements ECH.)
