Relevant this week:

- GPS costs around $2B/yr to continue operating

- Most of this comes from the defense budget

- This year, because of shenanigans, the NDAA has _not_ yet been passed b/c there are significant and controversial amendments in the House version

- We're careening towards a government shutdown

I'm not saying this _will_ happen, or _should_ happen ... but if GPS went off with the rest of the government, would Congress reach a resolution faster?

I second the uselessness of Google Display, it might look like conversions numbers are good but they are 100% too good to be true. As soon as you look into them you find the sources are things like "ad from HappyFunBabyTime Android app". You have to ruthlessly prune daily for months to get anything real, and even then I'm skeptical of value. For a developer tool with very strict conversion metrics!

But I disagree on Google Search:

> Good for conversion, bad for awareness.

Before we were popular it was excellent for awareness. Post popularity its much more arguable.
I think you're vastly over indexing in how many people in our circles know about him.

I'd bet less than 10% of professional developers could say who he is, and that a tiny portion of the population has any clue.

There are probably thousands of similarly important/influential people in various subfields that we have never heard of, because they're not our Subfield, and I highly doubt any of those would get a biopic.
macOS Sonoma: The MacStories Review
I found a bank web page (in english https://www.piraeusbank.gr/en/idiwtes/ependyseis/agora-polis...) with more info about buying gold sovereigs. A gold sovereign is sold by the bank at 480 euros (https://www.piraeusbank.gr/en/Idiwtes/Epitokia-Deltia-Timon/...)

This is very popular here because gold sovereigns here in greece are traditionally given as presents from close relatives on very important moments like marriage, child birth etc (i.e when a child is born its grandparents will give a gold sovereign to its parents)

I saw this comment and opened it expecting it to maybe just be 2 months of pay due to the Warn act. So was prepared to point out that they are not doing it freely.

But honestly yeah, at 6 months of pay and benefits. It still sucks and gettin laid off can affect you emotionally with the "why me" question. But 6 months is enough to fend off the panic that could set in.

Layoffs suck and unfortunately are just a reality, sometimes they really can't be avoided. They deserve some credit for how they are handling it.
If you can come up with a better basis than that experienced by all living organisms, the floor is open for you to make your pitch.
I'm still bitter that they unilaterally killed the entire Unreal Tournament franchise, pulled all games from all stores and turned off the master servers with no explanation.

I could understand maybe turning off the master servers to cut costs, but lets be honest, they could have hosted the entire franchise master servers on a raspberry pi. There was no need to pull the games from stores. They all but guaranteed there will never be any new players and the existing players all resort to piracy now when needing a new install.

At least give an explanation.
I don't know about RBG and judges in general but congressmen in their time in office make a lot of things happen, they start a lot of projects, some of which are long running, and many of them have a personal interest in seeing things that they started through, whether that's for corrupt reasons or not. Think of the changes America has undergone due to legislation since the 70s, some of the people that spearheaded those changes are still around and want to make sure their visions persist and they can't count on someone else to do it. In some cases I'm usre that vision is lining their pockets, in others clandestine shit, and I'm sure in some they're perfectly noble pursuits.

I wonder if it’s anything to do with using a case. Since it’s a bit random that is.

Oh, for sure! It would need to be trained on the 'default' way of doing things, just like a linter has a default config. THEN it would need to train on how you code (pin ordering, reroute node layouts, loop layouts, etc), the entire time you work with it. And, of course, in order to train, you would need to be able to tell it "hey, don't do that; I know I did it here but don't mimic that" as well as "mimic this, every single time. Don't use the defaults". Those explicit commands are extremely important for handling the edge casing (similar to newline vs inline brace openings).

But, honestly, that kind of thing is the only valuable future for AI that I see, as a creative. I don't need it to write my code for me, but I could sure as hell use it to handle all the tedious bullshit that we've cobbled together as far as tooling, CI, formatting and any other "had to do it this way to make machines understand it" half-measure we've had to take in the past century. The AIs that we see, now, which learn from a huge dataset and then stay mostly inert until the next big update are more toy-like in my figuring. They are standards to measure against and proofs of all kinds of very interesting and useful concepts. But the lasting/useful AIs will be the ones that train alongside your work and ONLY on your work (or, let's face it, the work done in your company that will be shared amongst all corporate employees so that all work can be done more efficiently) in order to provide you with what you would be trying to do anyway.

If you're going to lay responsibility at the feet of the voters it isn't fair to throw out a "It is how it’s supposed to work.". The voters decide how it is supposed to work by making arguments and talking to each other and expressing opinions. If voters have power then expressing what qualities a politician should have helps the process.

And while ranked choice voting is probably superior, it'd be a lot easier for one of the parties to implement RCV internally then call it a day. The major problem is that the primary system is too incumbent-friendly, making it hard for challengers to grow organically.

And I don't buy the argument that the US Congress Regulars have done a good job. They look like they've mucked a lot of stuff up, badly, and left a series of ruins behind them. Literally in many cases.
If I recall it just means they'd only give you 1% of their production data, or even just fake data for you to work with. They'll deploy your code but you won't have access to real customer data. I've seen this with health related data (similar to HIPPAA).

You said it best yourself: The operating system chosen to run a business was never a serious factor in terms of whether the company succeeded or failed.

While I don’t think that statement is universally true because for certain products OS matters, but generally, why would anybody migrate away from windows just because of a security incident? Linux has had its fair share of RCEs and 0-day exploits. Are you saying Linux is intrinsically better?

> We've been taking steps to reduce our legal expenses, but are continuing the fight against Apple and Google distribution monopolies and taxes, so the metaverse can thrive and bring opportunity to Epic and all other developers.

They are absolutely positioning Fortnite as a higher fidelity Roblox, with a view to becoming a whole gaming platform. It is a curious strategy to attack the legal foundations of one App Store while you attempt to build your own.

One of the bits of noise bouncing around the games industry is the extent to which UEFN is being seen as a sort of proving ground for teams and ideas. How viable it actually is as a business has yet to be seen.
Those monopolist allocation issues usually involve legal cpunsle, cannot be based on sales price or competition, cannot be used to corner markets and so on. In the end, everyone should get an equal haircut, and nobody shoupd be able to jump the line. Classic issue in anti-trust.

In a more dynamic environment where you could manage values in a controlled manner, how could you validate values ?

One idea is to make a DB table dedicated to enumerations and then use foreign key constraints. Define a unique namespace for each set of enumerated values, and catch foreign key constraint failures on DB writes.

Apart from the excellent subject matter, I often pull up this site during UI/UX discussions. Amit clearly has the ability to do really advanced JavaScript visualizations, but he only uses it exactly when necessary. Most of it is a plain document like you might write in Markdown, but when he uses JavaScript, it's illuminating, connected to all the other examples, and clean. Any animation he uses is clearly initiated by the user, and is there not because it looks cool, but because the intermediate frames help the user understand what's happening. It also never moves the rest of the layout around. I go back to this site any time I'm pondering how to do good online documentation, interactive help, tutorials, or even text-heavy presentation of results.

I don't get where you get that idea of not charging for development.

That said, I basically never seen anyone charge for a distribution. I figured that people think there's no point, so they just don't.

Now, charging for development? That absolutely happens.

Frankly is this important? If the NSA is a threat to you do you have any business trusting MS?
Correct.

California can appoint an interim Senator (per their constitutional & laws - I believe the governor does it without any approval from other parties).

Committee appointment is by Senate rules. There's no automatic right to a seat on a committee. Judiciary is a massively important committee because it oversees the approval of federal judges (without committee approval, the nominees never get to the floor for a vote).

The GOP can block a committee replacement via filibuster. The Democrats could attempt a rules package to prevent filibuster, but Manchin (D-WV) has historically been against those.
It doesn't really matter how many people were affected, the point is that people made an investment (and not a small one) and its being shut down.

> many MS engineering accounts had already been hacked

This isnt being focused on enough here. MS is set up in such a way that there are individual members of staff, with individual devices, that just need to be compromised for all their infrastructure is compromised.

This fact alone means that's its near certainly presently compromised. states have the resources to place an engineer at MS, let alone compromise one of their devices.

This, critically, is not necessary. There is nothing technologically necessary about one person, or one device, having the keys to the kingdom. It's security malpractice.
Yea but only for keyboards that can't be removed from the office.
Arecibo is really awkwardly placed for being anything but what it was. It’s at the end of a long windy narrow road up the side of a mountain in the jungle. And when you get there, there’s just about enough room for a little building perched on the side of a pit.

They can fit a lot of biology and computer science schools at the base of that road, I bet.

Nothing wrong with pulling the plug, but there’s a common expectation that unless you go out of business you’ll keep supporting a product for years after you stop selling it.

Imagine if Honda decided to stop selling the Accord and on the same day their dealerships stopped carrying parts for it. Would you be willing to buy any model from them knowing it can be abandoned at any moment?

That's a really great bridge into "hey here is the fairly functional / maybe naive path" that lets the dev imagine "oh but all the exceptions and the ... oh yeah this is more than <just logging or something else/>".

Re your edit, if you re-read my op you should find we’re in agreement regarding the press’s standing and its causes.

Numerous assumptions are embedded in your optimistic analogy of printing press and machine learning systems, including continued access to general purpose computing devices (for the unwashed), data (and we can work our way up from just there to far flung concerns).

What is actually happening is that capital is no longer satisfied with owning the presses, but rather wants to own the language. That, erasure of the distinct concern of “journalism” (regardless of du jour state), via erosion of control over language and what is “correct”, is the actual issue.

Were these machines benevolent cyber prophets that were discerning ‘veritable truths’ about the human condition and thus their conditioning of the language and acceptable discourse a clear benefit, there would be no concern. But they are not, and again a reminder that the same people who own the press own the ai shops (class wise).

There are plenty of techniques the military could use to make jamming or spoofing almost impossible.

For example, use a signal encrypted with a key not known to the enemy. That prevents spoofing.

Jamming can be pretty much eliminated by using phased array antennas. They can reject signals coming from the wrong direction. To fully block a military unit receiving GPS, the enemy would need to have ~30 planes in the sky over the unit, between the unit and each GPS satellite, broadcasting the jamming signal. Pretty infeasible for them.

There are other ways to make jamming far far harder. For example, if you are happy for your GPS receiver to be always on and have an atomic clock, you can make a new signal that replaces the 1024 bit PRN codes with multi-gigabyte codes which are secret. That effectively means rather than the enemy needing to overpower the real signal, the enemy needs to be billions of times stronger than the real signal to prevent you decoding it.

I do not accept that discussing battery usage in a debate about cross platform technologies is-off topic just because the direct parent comment didn't mention it.

The parent comment claimed that users don't notice the difference between native and cross-platform. I responded saying that even if they didn't notice the visual difference, they will surely notice the battery drain directly caused by the attempt to achieve accurate visual parity.

This is not off-topic by any reasonable standard. This is merely addressing a closely related and very relevant aspect of the same topic.
