I believe you’ve thoroughly missed the point.

UBI does not, as you note, “magically enable us to predict the future or magically retrain people instantly for new jobs when old ones become obsolete”. What it does do—in principle—is allow the people who are impacted by structurally decreasing job opportunities and increasing turmoil in the job market to live in something other than destitution. And it does so without many of the downsides of means-tested programs, such as benefits cliffs, negative incentive structures, and operational overhead.
His book is essentially meditation/realization for overachievers. It is almost the opposite of Zen

If you take everything as a task to be done and life as goals to achieve, then that might be a good book

Otherwise Reddit’s /r/meditation, /r/streamentry or just the Calm app might be better starting points
Hi there. I shall make changes to the style sheet soon. When I first published this page in 2006, I never encountered any issues or had any complaints about the font sizing until now. I had completely forgotten that I used 'vw' and in fact had to look up what it even did. I must've had my reasons at the time...

Anyway, thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Reminds me of this interesting call out in Postgres 16: The exciting and the unnoticed:

> Moving towards Active Active replication: A feature was committed in Postgres 16 to allow logical replication to avoid replication loops, which is when a transaction gets replicated from source to target and back. Postgres 16 allows subscribers to process only changes which have no origin which allows you to prevent these loops. Bi-directional active-active replication is still very complicated and requires solving a lot of problems, but this feature tackles one of those important sub-problems.

The AWS submission here is quite short. There's a longer read available at https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/using-pgactive-active-... that sheds some light on the basis for their technology:

> pgactive is based on the open-source BDR project and includes functions that let you set up an active-active PostgreSQL cluster, conflict detection and automatic resolution methods (for example, last-write-wins), conflict monitoring, and more.

They link to this old BDR project wiki page https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/BDR_Project , but it's quite stale. Efforts seems to have been ongoing as EnterpriseDB, https://github.com/EnterpriseDB .

Passkeys and u2f keys aren't the same. Systems must support multiple passkeys, otherwise you could only access the service from a single device, since passkeys are usually tied to a particular piece of hardware.

Is it those things?

People don't seem to use DBus at all outside of Linux. That would seem to imply that, by and large, it isn't those things. And the fact that someone on Linux in exactly the situation where it should be used wasn't willing to use it suggests that maybe there are significant issues.
I think I’ve just solved the problem of what to do with people who lose their jobs because of AI.

Imagine a power plant that is just vast rows and rows of stationary bicycles. We can pay people to ride the bikes and produce energy to power AI. They get paid by the watt. They could wear masks with tubes to sequester their CO2 output. A small country’s worth of people could generate immense clean energy.
And? This sort of article are trying to feed a narrative & misguide the lesser educated / non-critical thinkers. It's got no place on this site.

If we weren't to burn coal, but rely on nuclear / wind / solar, and amp up recycling across the board, how much power we use when and for what, wouldn't be a question. So that is the topic that needs attention, and advocating.
OP — If this comp_nearest is still a hot path for you or if you want to generate more articles, consider testing:

1. using `restrict` to tell that compiler that src and dest are sure not to overlap

2. Converting your two increment and test blocks to add+mod to allow for uninterrupted pipelining

Neither might make a difference, but either could.
>As long as e-ink has been around, all I've ever heard were the patent issues. If you're saying it's actually manufacturing difficulties, can you provide any links or additional info?

For the record, the "patents" think has no links to back it up either.

But to answer your question: E-ink screens are less than $100 (depending on the size), that's already pretty cheap. They're only expensive when compared to LCDs. LCDs are produced at a rate of billions per quarter*, with ~6 billion smartphone owners, and lots of them having multiple LCD devices e.g. laptop/desktop screen, work computer's screen, supermarket kiosk, tablet, smartwatch, car screen, etc.

In contrast, e-ink screens have basically three applications: e-readers, e-notes (which is basically just an e-reader with a stylus), and supermarket pricetags. E-readers/e-notes are a luxury item that you don't need if you already have a smartphone/iPad. There's just no economy of scale for e-ink; not compared to LCDs.

Because there's no economy scale or obvious new markets to expand into, there's not much budget for R&D, so the entire field moves slowly.
I'm a bit nostalgic about this. Not because of VBScript or even JScript. But because of ActiveState which provided Perl, TCP, and Python interpreters that worked with Windows Script Host. I could create and call COM interfaces plus the CPAN library to pick from. I built Tkinter GUIs for my scripts.

It was part of the OLE dream that users would have lots of small scripts automating their component-oriented workflows. What we got instead was cargo-cult coding and innumerable vulnerabilities because, to borrow a phrase from the IoT folks, the 'S' in COM/OLE stands for security.
This is possible if the call site can see the implementation, but you can't count on it for separate translation units or larger functions.

My goal was to not rely on site-specific optimization and instead have one separately compiled function body that can be improved for common cases. Certainly, once the compiler has a full view of everything it can take advantage of information as it pleases but this is less controllable. If I were really picky about optimizing for each use I would make it a template.

>Doesn't even need the `inline` keyword for this at `-O2`

The inline keyword means little in terms of actually causing inlining to happen. I would expect the majority of inlining compilers do happens automatically on functions that lack the "inline" keyword. Conversely, programmers probably add "inline" as an incantation all over the place not knowing that compilers often ignore it.
i wouldnt know, i don't have access to their SDKs.

Totp is phishable. Passkeys aren't phishable. At the point where the user can access the private keys phishing is once again a concern.

If I can't access my pk, I cannot be phished. As soon as you allow me to copy my key (instead of creating many, which should be acceptable) I can be phished again.
They are however (by dropping the 32bit versions of Windows) dropping 16bit support. Which still exists in 32bit Windows 10 along with NTVDM (AKA DOS emulation). So I guess it's the end of the line for MSDOS?

[Monad was ultimately wildly successful and became Powershell]

I know he's not making a statement about Powershell, but I always thought it was insane how long it takes for Powershell to start up. I've been using Nushell lately, which has a lot of similar features and "structured date" philosophy, and it starts instantly.

I would guess, that in a world where I can get rich by charging clients $100 to fill in a $10 claim form (lost luggage, visa, late flight claim, contested speeding ticket...) there are many, many low hanging fruit opportunities for ML assisted profit.

The point being that "disintermediating your own staff" to make that even more profitable doesn't stop the fact you're a rent seeker.

The companies who have internalised some AI outcome, such as code review, or a process specific check 'how did we get here' type thing, or which have sufficient scale a large body of knowledge inside their domain can be uplifted for decision support, yes I can believe that. And time to market, consistency might be great.

But don't we have to wait for the massive lawsuit cycle to complete, with bad and false ML acquired outcomes before we decide if 25% reporting positives are .. accurate?

> The only way to avoid vendor lock in is to allow passkeys to be persisted unencrypted.

Is this true? Naively I’d expect there to be a two-key solution that would allow Vendor A to transfer passkeys to Vendor B without requiring them to be stored unencrypted. Is the issue just that the two vendors have to trust each other (as opposed to just both being trusted by the user) for that to work?

The myth of the half-life of DNA needs to die. Just one year after the article with the supposed 521 years DNA half-life was published, the DNA of a 700000 year old horse fossil was sequenced [1].

Thomas Telford was another early civil engineer, among other things known for the Menai Bridge between the Welsh mainland and Anglesey. When I saw the bridge in 1999, it was kind of odd to think that this short-by-today's-standards bridge would pave the way for behemoths like the Mackinac - or that it dated to 1826 and has needed few major overhauls.

I had never even heard of Telford before my UK visit, although there is a town in Pennsylvania named for him. As always, there always seems to be national gaps in education.
Does he hire a lot of "studies" majors in the first place?
> The cryptocurrency exchange Binance cooperated with Israel in locating and shutting down the accounts.

They stored their crypto with third parties that held their crypto for them. Not in a wallet. This reminds me of the saying, “Not your keys; not your crypto.”

I wonder whether Israel, Binance, or in 1 case, Barclays, gets to keep the frozen crypto?

Double check the refresh rate, input latency, and color gamut for your comparisons. Computer monitor user concerns are quite different than tv screen users.
The main tech is a very anti-reflective coating; the best I've seen on a mainstream TV. It is backlit but in Art Mode the backlight is turned down (you can control how much and there is an ambient light sensor that fine-tunes your choice). The combination of low emission, quite low reflection and static content is pretty compelling for me in a lit room.

I have the white frame on the bezel against a light-coloured wall and when displaying art it's much less imposing on the room than an empty black screen. Obviously it uses more power than standby but it's also quite a bit less than a dynamic screensaver.

Don't know that I'd get another one; the bugs in Samsung's software are annoying (I just want it to display the art, or a picture from a single HDMI input, how hard can they possibly make it?) but perhaps that's standard for modern TVs.
Based on the title alone, I'm skeptical about the author's understanding of the subject.

Interesting link, that said:

A video that opens from a news helicopter and a reporter stating "we've been tracking him for ten minutes" that continues to track for another 3 or four minutes.

The police helicopter pulls off towards the end for lack of fuel .. and the news helicopter says that they are having trouble keeping up (despite having done so for at least 13 minutes).

I'm going to guess this is more a resources ran out thing than a car outran helicopter thing.

( FWiW "The speed of a police helicopter can vary depending on the make and model. However, most police helicopters have a top speed of around 130-145 miles per hour (209-233 kilometers per hour)."

The car was peaking at 110 mph, the helicopters may have been hitting headwinds, even so the statement was explicit that police helicopter had low fuel.
)

The police rig was probably easily keeping up - but was low on fuel, the news helicopter likely had less grunt and|or started to exceed budget burn rate | run low on fuel itself.

The follow through on that wasn't given but there's a fair chance the car was tracked down - being distinctive and the police capturing the plates.
>Neither the PS5 nor Resident Evil Village came out in 2013.

I don't understand why you're replying to me with irrelevant facts?

PlayStation 4 and Xbox One came out in 2013. Resident Evil Village came out on Playstation 4 and Xbox One on 2021. Unlike wine, video game consoles do not improve with age.

>Resident Evil Village on iOS is a remarkable sight to see. It's hard to tell any difference between playing the game on a console. From the accurate textures on the characters to the lighting and shadow effects, the game looked as good as it did as when I played it on the PlayStation 5 back in 2021.

im not surprised that a layperson is unable to discern between the version of re8 he's playing now and the version of re8 he says he played two and a half years ago. It's also completely irrelevant to the fact that the most impressive game on iphone is a port of a game that also came out on PS4 and Xbox One.

I didn't know that bit about that Marx quote, so I looked it up[0], and it's even more mis-quoted (or, charitably, paraphrased) than I'd known, the original (translated to English, of course) being:

Either way, I think it's time to strike that from my list of presumed anti-religion sentiments.

Generally speaking historical records are called "documentary evidence," and in real life there can be conflicting evidence, out of which may emerge a conclusion.
Yes, but in order to add new items to each piece of hardware you have to be physically co-located with all the pieces of hardware you want to use as your backups. Which means they cannot be geographically distributed (or if they are that there is a period of time in which you aren't fully backed up). Which means you're either in a place where you can loose all your keys (e. g. a house fire or a flood) or your in a place where you can loose all the devices that have a key.
