One of my past awesome significant others, I found due to something like some of the awareness talked about here.

She'd made a post on a dating site, asking, simply, what was your favorite part of the city, and why.

I responded with something about the different atmospheres of rather small areas, where the transitions are, etc.

I won, and our first date was to be a lunch break from her science lab work on a weekend. But after lunch we played hooky, and walked all around town and talked for many hours, ending up sitting on a harbor wharf.

Where one of the boats we saw was a ferry to the Cape Cod area, which I suggested as our second date. We just explored it without plans or arrangements.

(Much later, her heightened awareness grew to realizing that she could do better than me, :) but we did have some shared understanding and values about the world, and a lot of that was about perceiving, like when on walks.)

Intel had so much money to burn they tried at least three different strategies and the market chose the winner. Compatible with Pentium, RISC with i860, and clean-slate with Itanium are those that come to mind.

Each of those projects undoubtedly cost billions. An incredibly luxurious position to be in.

Sorry, it isn't a swipe directly intended to be a personal attack of any sort. More that govt's, in general, have a habit of leaking personal information for their own benefit.

Your original comment was all about hypotheticals, so yes, it opens up the discussion to assumptions.

Agreed that, in general, it sucks that stuff leaks out. That said, every time someone brings up 23andme, it feels like one of those "the govt is going to shut down in a week if we don't do something!" type of headlines that seem to be on repeat... where in the end it turns out that at the last minute, something is done to prevent it, and everything turns into a giant nothing burger.
I think that would be enough to get me to migrate. I can still play windows games on GeForce now so it’s a better deal. I’d probably get a M4 or M5 MacBook.
I think that's mostly wrong though, because as the P6 demonstrated complicated CISC addressing modes can be trivially decomposed and issued to a superscalar RISC core.

What really killed 68k was the thing no one here is qualified to talk about: Motorola simply fell off the cutting edge as a semiconductor manufacturer. The 68k was groundbreaking and way ahead of its time (shipped in 1978!), the 68020 was market leading, the '030 was still very competitive but starting to fall behind the newer RISC designs, leading its target market to switch. The 68040 was late and slow. The 68060 pretty much never shipped at all (it eventually had some success as an embedded device).

It's just that posters here are software people and so we want to talk about ISA all the time as if that's the most important thing. But it's not and never has been. Apple is winning now not because of "ARMness" but because TSMC pulled ahead of Intel on density and power/performance.
I personally don't, because for potentially sketchy content I watch it logged out or in a private browser.

The cryptography to support this has been around for ever and it's been next to impossible to make the decision makers at companies and large organizations care, much less end users.

On a side note, I use GPT-4 to help me create simple Bash scripts. Haven't run into a problem yet, but I double/triple check they won't do anything strange and most of the time, it works quite well.

I can only roll my eyes at this and continue to not take you seriously.

First of all, you're assuming a parity between the governments of Iran and Saudi Arabia. A couple of years ago, I would have been more sympathetic to this point, but with Iran's brutal crackdown of late, which apparently includes widespread rape of women in prisons, I think it's safe to say the Regime is accomplishing the impressive feat of making Saudi Arabia look good.

Really, I think it may really just come down to money; Saudi Arabia is in the fortunate position of being able to pay large chunks of its citizenry to be docile and follow the rules. If their economy was similarly bad, I do think it's likely they would be also be engaging in violent repression.

Second of all, you can probably find plenty of Guardian articles criticizing the Saudi government. In fact, you've provided very little evidence of any kind that those three publications use any of the same language at all about either government, or that they don't criticize Saudi Arabia.

Third, even if you could point to similarities, it wouldn't be evidence of a "conspiracy"; it would instead merely reflect a double-standard held among the Western public at large, which tends to view Iran worse than Saudi Arabia because, on some reptilian level, it knows Saudi Arabia is a geo-political ally and Iran is an enemy. If you want to say this opinion is hypocritical, I'd say you're probably right (especially since Saudi hasn't been acting like an ally lately), but of course, you're not making any such reasonable claim.

At the end of the day, an allegation of "conspiracy" is simply something lodged by what I would call the "ignorant arrogant"; people who think they are smarter than they are, but who actually have no desire or ability to actually think critically. Instead, they just want an easy answer to lay blame for things they don't like. There is a lot of mental and emotional infirmity involved in calling things "conspiracies".

I would describe my mental vision as working the same way as you, and have always tested highly in my ability to mentally manipulate 3D objects. I don't think this is aphantasia so much as a language issue when describing mental processes. I am a little surprised that some comments here reference people who claim to be able to generate mental images as if they see them, that's certainly a different level of visualization.

Funny enough my son can't dream. It took him awhile to figure out something was different, and he was jealous that other people got to experience something 'like VR' when they sleep. I tried testing him for aphantasia by asking him to describe mental pictures and he seemed not to have it. Personally I have very vivid dreams. The brain is an interesting thing, and it's funny how hard it is to communicate the internal workings.
>> Yeah, nvidia linux support is meh, but still much better than amd.

Can not confirm. I used nvidia for years when it was the only option. Then used the nouveau driver on a well supported card because it worked well and eliminated hassle. Now I'm on AMD APU and it just works out of the box. YMMV of course. We do get reports of issues with AMD on specific driver versions, but I can't reproduce.
Have you considered that privacy is doomed to end, eventually? If we can eventually ask an AI to produce a perfect extinction-tier virus genome, open source that, and someone can upload it to a nucleotide synthesizer in their garage, it seems like we either eliminate privacy or die.

It's a far-off (?) and abstract, "in the limit" question, and I'm probably as horrified as you are, but our ancestors would probably be horrified by how their sacred cows are eviscerated on a daily basis by modern societies. :p (Death is a neat "mental refresh" of the human mind in the abstract when viewed that way, allowing it to adapt to new realities.)
Very impressive. Photoshop is really pushing the edge of what a web application can do here. Hopefully one day the notion of desktop and mobile application is dead and almost everything can be securely manipulated through your web browser with high performance.

Also we find the usual web browser provider who is somewhat behind of modern standards:

> Photoshop on the web is currently available on desktop versions of:
> Chrome 102+
> Edge 102+
> Firefox 111+

So the era’s gone then. Nobody raises their hat seeing another gentleman on the street anymore. Now that the power of automation is in both hands, everyone has to adapt. Next month we’ll see a medium article about using AI roleplaying chat-instruct mode to bypass the filters and generate what OP finds acceptable or human.

Unix was very expensive at the time of course, meaning only used by big business. I remember asking a computer/IT teacher what it was, in the early 90s. Sounded interesting and somehow we found out about Minix and downloaded it from somewhere to tinker, maybe a BBS?

Luckily this happened, because when I later got an IT job in the mid-nineties at a aerospace company I was good to go. At which point I discovered Linux and then BSD.

You are pushing it. Once the phone is set up, everyday use is easy enough. Some things are less convenient and you are missing some bells and whistles, but the phone is still usable. it's still Android, with the same UI, for the most part.

But I know this "My time is limited and expensive, I have no time for X" argument too well. (X being "freedom" and "the environment" in your comment).

The world does not progress in the right direction if everybody considers their time too limited to spend time making it better. Of course, trying to improve things takes time but someone has to do it. Maybe you are improving the world in your way but if so, you are probably spending time on it.

At some point we need some people to slow down and take the time to think if we are doing / how we can do the right things. Being fast and efficient towards the wrong direction is useless or even harmful.

Yes, that's the idealistic person in me speaking.

> if something breaks I don’t even bother to figure out how to fix it anymore I just get a new one as it’s the rational time investment.

See, that's my point. It's rational until the world breaks apart because we kept burning resources building too much stuff instead of limiting the production and repairing things that can be repaired.

Throwing things away and getting new stuff because one thinks their time it too important to bother is rational only in some specific meaning of "rational".

I don't live to be economically efficient. The way the economy works today is absolutely not efficient with how we use our resources and produces a lot of waste. By focusing on being economically efficient, you are missing the bigger picture.

As an aside:

> As they say “Linux is only free if you don’t value your time”.

This sentence has to die. It assumes I'm less efficient with Linux than with its alternatives, but this can't be more wrong. For what I do with computers, Linux is far more efficient and has everything I need. I'll admit free software on mobile is still far from perfect (degoogled Android is far from being bad though), but Desktop Linux is solved for me, and has been for a long time. It's not perfect and it's ever improving, but any desktop OS has its quirks. And K-9 mail is quite fine too.

And I value my time. We might have different priorities.
It almost defeats the point of versioning on networked/web APIs really.

On the one hand you have library code that is semantically versioned, and for good reason those versions are immutable so if something changes you have to pull down a version. The old version is always going to work unless it's wrapping a poorly designed web API.

Web APIs are mutable, also for good reason, but it seriously hammers home the fact that whatever you build is forever and once it's out there, you can't walk it back.

The end result of that though isn't incredible API design, it usually forces your hand.

Well, for those using Terraform, it's an unannounced breaking change. This shows how poor HashiCorp is testing its minor releases (well, given how long it took to v1, this is more like a major release). They own the registry and could've scanned providers with expired keys, warned developers, and prepared for a smooth release. Instead, they've worked months on something that needed to be tested with popular third-party providers such as the most popular PostgreSQL, MySQL, RabbitMQ, etc. There are hundreds of broken providers. In addition, developers must be notified that keys are about to expire or have expired. There must be an ample red warning on the web UI as well.
Yeah, you need adoption for it to work, and that in tern means there needs to be some kind of financial or regulatory incentive. But it does seem to me to be more technically feasible. Fingerprinting AI seems ... just not workable at this point.

We are starting to see adoption of software supply-chains with SBOMS, albeit imperfectly. We are starting to see increased adoption of things like DMARC in the email space to better authentic the originator of an email. Both are highly imperfect systems ... but you can start kludging something together ... and if the incentives are there I think you can build out more of a workable system.

Man-made climate change is definitely happening: carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas (we have known this since the 1880s) and we are adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere in very large amounts. Both of these are indisputable.

If the poles are reversing, that does not negate man-made climate change. It does the opposite: it makes man-made climate change that much worse. It makes it even more important that we reduce atmospheric carbon, and it gives us a much shorter timeline to do it in.
DNIe vs Cl@ve Permanente?
I'm British. I have no insider information about what the Government Digital Service do about other departments' use of their toolkit, but just as a citizen, I can tell you that the difference between the GDS sites and external ones is extremely stark.

The passport application form[1], for instance, is smooth and well-designed, and the questions are well-written - a good example of the Government Digital Service's excellent design and solid implementation. Perhaps the only downside is the rather disconcerting photograph evaluation tool that suggested to me that my photograph was 'invalid' due to being 'in black-and-white', somehow missing my blue chequered shirt. The whole of the Gov.UK site loads very quickly for me, which is an additional benefit of the focus on accessibility. You can 'view source' on your Web browser and see the very comprehensive metadata, both as JSON-LD and traditional <meta> tags.

The 'Universal Credit service'[2] (the recent social welfare system), however, was seemingly not developed by the Government Digital Service, and it shows! It is still marked as 'Beta' years after release, uses a shockingly insecure authentication for sensitive personal data, and has a video conferencing system that can't show video. To top it all off, they very politely request feedback... but provide no feedback form.

I think that illustrates well how easy it is for an excellent toolkit to be abused in the hands of the incompetent or the underfunded, not that the latter is likely to apply in this case[3]! I hope this provides some context related to your question.

Do you have any benchmarks about how much data a given lambda can search/process after loading Arrow data? Not trying to argue, I'm curious because I never thought of this architecture myself, because I would think that the time it takes to ingest the Arrow data and then search through it would be too long for a lambda but I may be totally off base here. I've not played around in detail with lambdas so I don't have particularly robust mental model on their limitations.
Captcha still means you get to do the cred stuffing attack, just potentially more slowly which still doesn’t protect the user.

I think for sensitive data where you want to protect the user, it makes even more sense to just generate passwords for them. It’s even simpler than 2FA. Some online casinos do this.
Well, its not legal obviously to decompile and share the code online. But its just a matter of "will they care" and the answer is most likely NO. Just like SM64, it is open sourced on GitHub but they never got any complain from Nintendo asking to shut down anything.
