I have started cold calling some of my friends over the last year or so, and it's always great. I will sometimes talk for over an hour with a friend I haven't spoken with in a few months+. A normal phone call has kind of become a novel thing, at least in my generation (Z) and the general absurdity of it makes it even more fun.

I agree very strongly with what the author mentions about how we strive for hyperconnectivity with our smart phones, and I have made a goal for myself to abandon mine by the end of the year. I haven't fully decided if I'm going to carry around a dumb phone or not, but I am probably going to not carry any phone for at least some time.

I have also started texting and calling with JMP Chat, which bridges to XMPP, so you can easily use any computer for all my communication.
That's totally reasonable, and I agree that using something hosted entirely by a 3rd party makes sense for some use cases. Our reason goes a bit beyond security concerns, in this case. We built Nebula for large scale deployments, and because of that, we have made decisions that lean into that model for hosting.

Our decision to leave lighthouse hosting in the hands of users has one primary rationale: We want users to have complete control their network availability. Any downtime of our service should not impact their network availability. You can even host some of your lighthouses inside of network boundaries to ensure that an internal network functions properly if its connection to the internet is interrupted. Other overlay options may continue to work for some time, but new connections are often not possible, and the network can degrade rapidly.

Relays are are a similar story, but with an additional reason: We don't have to limit our customers' relay bandwidth due to cost. When hosting relays on behalf of others, we would be transiting a lot of traffic, which has an associated (sometimes unpredictable) cost. By letting our customers host relays, they can ensure relay traffic is just as fast as direclt connections.

I have a different theory. Mac sales have declined since the mass tech industry layoffs because most tech jobs would buy macs for their new employees. Since they aren’t hiring there’s no need to keep buying new Mac laptops. And mac pc sales outside of tech profession are very low.

It’s not that hard.

If somebody has POSSESSION of the Mac, and either:

1. An Apple ID registered with the Mac

2. A proof of purchase

3. A court ruling establishing them as the owner.

Presume they are the owner.

Regarding state level actors, they are not interested in stealing people’s MacBooks, they are interested in stealing peoples Data. Removing the activation lock from a Mac != exposing the data on it. Regarding common thieves, see above.

If Apple isn’t confident that they can authenticate ownership, they have no business locking out Macs. It is really not as hard to authenticate ownership as you think though in cases where the person claiming ownership has possession of the Mac.

LLM Inference Performance Engineering: Best Practices
You're mixing up concurrency with parallelism.
I've thought about buying a weather station that tracks barometric pressure, sunlight, wind speed, direction, etc. but my house is surrounded by tall trees so the numbers would not be accurate. Some of these stations can report to the National Weather Service to give them more data.

Porsche is already thinking of 3d printing piston heads since their research is showing it's stronger than if they forged it.

I don't think there'll ever be a need to 3d print shock absorbers or bearings, since those tend to be commodity wear parts and there will probably always be compatible modern variants (or if you look at some parts guides, many current cars still use the exact same basic parts from several decades ago).

Engine blocks and major large internals like conrods or more commonly needed transmission internals are the parts I think will be most difficult to keep stocked.
I've toyed with OSS'ing it or releasing the code. It would be a non-trivial amount of time and energy to package it in a way that people could host it. Gamescape was a hobby thing so I used some different architectural patterns I'd been wanting to experiment and play with that aren't totally standard.
I would refine that:

Right now, I think it's more that they don't want US v TeensyStartup to be the case that sets precedent.

By stepping in with these indemnification clauses, they aren't betting $4T that they're sure to win. They're just reserving a (much smaller) open check to protect against losing because of somebody else's lawyers.

They may win, they may lose, but they want to make sure they're the ones who get to fight for it either way.

The problem is that the word "any" stands for "random," or "arbitrary." It is not inconceivable that a scientist, say, would mix "random" substances together just to see what happens. But almost all such experiments would result in exactly nothing, nothing interesting anyway. Usually, a scientist first notices something, puts forward a concrete hypothesis, and then conduct an experiment. In mathematics, it is the same: for example, one notices something that certain things have in common and then tries to generalize this common into "axioms." Modern mathematics is highly evolved field full of such examples. Nobody starts with scribbling random doodles on a blank sheet of paper in the hope that something interesting would come out of it. While not impossible, it is extremely unlikely. In the end, one might say that what is mathematics and what is not is merely a matter of definition, but that, as well as calling the "language of doodles" mathematics, would make the word devoid of any useful meaning, IMHO.
You are going into forced labelling disclosure, which can have a lot of benefits beyond fraud prevention because it increases informed consent and all sorts of other net goods. It's the logic and ethics of nutrition labels, and IMO is probably one of the more good vs bad things that govts can mandate.

I think that is exactly what is happening. Most of my code is much much faster in Julia, and the code is nicer. But R has its moments. Which is good since this particular app has 3K lines, and I do not want to port it to Julia.

And data.tables in R is faster (and I think nicer to write) than DataFrames in Julia. And since data.tables feed my optimization, R still wins.
You may laugh at how weird this is, but there is one thing that came out of the Kai Krause aesthetic that is everywhere today: buttons that light up on mouseover.

I have a distinct memory of him announcing this unfamiliar idea as "slightly ahead of the Mac UI".

In the mid-90s, I think most of us working with tech still thought in terms of a monochrome bitmapped interface. To apply a transformation to an already highly styled button, just to indicate it was clickable? It seemed like a huge waste of computing resources.

In Kai's UIs, light-up-on-mouseover was more of a necessity since nothing followed UI guidelines - you had to discover what was even clickable. For modern UIs it's more subtle; you may have already guessed what was clickable, but the UI feels a bit more alive and active, and it helps teach some UI paradigms.

Now, of course, we have the opposite problem: the hover action doesn't exist on touch platforms so it's being slowly forgotten.

If they had taken action then fewer people would have undoubtedly got swept up, yea, absolutely 100%. I have to say though, “I don’t think it would’ve had much impact anyways so they should get a pass for knowingly profiting off of aiding and abetting a genocide” is not an argument I thought someone would ever seriously advance. Congratulations for that.

>> so far unfinished cloud gaming app.

As a gamer, few things would turn me away from a potential purchase more than the phrase "cloud gaming app". It sounds like DRM-infected bloatware ready to kick me from a server the moment my connection even hiccups. Only "cloud gaming app, now by Microsoft" could be worse.

>had a private investigator request footage from Amazon?

Not sequitur, PI's aren't police and don't have arrest or prosecution power. The concern in the article is about police. I would be against Amazon allowing just anyone to just browse Ring cameras.

>That's kinda the point, right? Police and Amazon have defined their own terms for sharing footage with no accountability to the user, and they've proven they're willing to do so.

Is there evidence that the police are mass surveilling people using Amazon/Ring without investigating a specific crime and/or a specific person? Please show me. If that's actually the case and not just speculation, I'm not for it.

>Whoops. Misremembered, so I suppose so. I'll edit.

No worries, I do that sometimes too; it wasn't in bad faith.

Believe me, I think police powers need some serious checks and balances and there are many examples where they go over their legal boundaries. I also think without police, there would be rampant crime, which is just as bad. My position is to get rid of bad police and keep the good ones.

Potentially valid concerns, but not what copyright law was designed to address. Mazda can easily prohibit their own customers from doing this kind of thing in their terms of service if they want.
Because if "AI" is constantly "wrong" or "lying" it'd be bad for the businesses trying to sell it. So there's this marketing push to frame that recognition of constant obvious failure as anthropomorphizing the AI.

Hallucinating on the other hand feels way more abstract. We speak of humans hallucinating answers rarely enough that they can use it for AI with a straight face. Heck, when we do talk about humans hallucinating it's often-as-not in the context of mind expanding experiences; maybe AI hallucinations are even a good thing!

The CIA tried to deleting all evidence of the mkultra project in 1973. They missed a few documents related to the funding that allowed the commission to actually find evidence for it. Had they succeeded you would never have had enough evidence to prove it. You would have had ex-cia members involved in drug experiments. Would the general public have trusted them? If a guy with drug problems claimed the government had experimented on him, who would have believed him?
