A)Yes. I've been in the software business in some capacity for the better part of 25 years and software usability right now is miles beyond what it used to be. Thinking otherwise is a function of nostalgia.

B) if you're doing dev work, you're probably not entirely cognizant of how different your software selection and usage patterns are than most people's, even for non-dev things.

C) there's a whole lot of interfaces out there and the great ones work so naturally and intuitively that you don't even notice them. Those are the ones for which many assume the design decisions were so obvious that they didn't even need designers. That's so so not true.Look at the most popular user-facing software: web browsers are all obsessed with usability (mozilla actually does some of the best open usability research out there.) Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook, Twitter, et al... Incredibly clear and usable for their target market. Can't get much higher contrast than you do in email applications and other communication apps. There are tools to guage if your text color/background color/ and text size make for readable text according to the WCAG and I have never had a job, either as a designer or as a developer, where AA compliance wasn't a minimum for all functional elements. Most common user-facing interfaces that regularly use light or white text on colored backgrounds, like the iMessage interface or signal, benefit from OS-level accessibility enhancements like increased text size, which are very commonly used among the people who need them. My non-tech-savvy elderly relatives all knew about them through the setup process on their devices when they first bought them, and never looked back. Looking through every communication or other popular user-facing software package on my Galaxy U22 using a default theme shows nothing even remotely low-contrast.

Horses are get spooked in zero wind by inanimate objects that they just saw the prior week, in the same spot.

Horses get increasingly skittish the higher the wind gets, even in "normal" conditions - I guess it makes it so they can't smell things downwind of them, so it's an evolutionary thing.

When wind gets high, horses get really spooked.

No way in hell would I put myself between or anywhere near horse legs during a tornado. That's just asking to die. From the horse, not the tornado.

This is pretty common in education, at least in the teacher circles I've known. I know in Germany, they talk about the "Anforderungsbereiche", or requirement levels, where the first level is being able to repeat facts, do calculations, etc; the second level is understanding when you apply those facts or formulas; and the third level is understanding why those formulas work, or being able to escalate why some knowledge is relevant to a subject.

I would understand the third level (possibly even the second level) as including that ability to apply knowledge in nonstandard contexts that the previous poster was talking about - being able to see not just how to perform a calculation, and how to use it in a given context, but also how to create that context when necessary - seeing that the question on how humans move in groups could be modelled as a fluid dynamics problem, for example.

The general wisdom amongst teachers is that most exams should be able to differentiate between these three levels of understanding, so you want questions where the student can just follow the line and do the right thing, but also questions where they're being asked to apply knowledge in different contexts, prove why something is true, or explain why some fact is valuable or relevant in a given context. This isn't about grading on a curve, it's about differentiating between how far different students have come in their understanding. (And the corollary if that differentiation is that if all the students have the same understanding, it's likely that the course wasn't challenging enough, and many of the more advanced students could have been pushed more.)

That said, these regions are more about assessment in general than specific written exams, and the third level will be easier to test in some exam formats than others - a multiple choice exam leaves little opportunity to demonstrate that understanding, whereas an oral exam allows the examiner to explore the subject a bit more deeply. I studied in the UK where a single end-of-unit written exam is mostly the norm, and so these exams had to test all the different levels of knowledge, but if you're gathering results over the course of a year or semester, that might look differently.
You can't because you don't have access to one of the algorithms.

My reasoning is that everyone in the US had parents who knew you'd die if you didn't heat your house, but in most cases, AC is a comfort thing, so AC was treated as the luxury and heat as the normal.

No website on earth has managed to succeed with Age Verification, except places like us.gov for obvious reasons.

Since the investment cost is infinite, and the cost of an error is legislated to be super high, companies will conclude the rational choice is to cancel service those jurisdictions. Effectively, the end of "legal" porn.

One tension is that while there absolutely is a strong pressure to act because of how different things are than in days of postcard illustrations and smutty magazines, any action on traditionally suppressed adult lifestyles inevitably draws in traditionalist activists/lobbies who try to use it as a fresh opportunity to repress those lifestyles again.

There's a tough balance to achieve between responsible social governance and the historical battle between traditionalist communities and modern pluralism.

And then there of course is the challenge of practically enforcing anything like that in a digital world with global permeability. You can try to force companies in US/US-allied countries to do all kinds of things, but what's the gain if The Nation of Xyz or a decentralizing technology leaves the content just as available. All you've done is hurt a local industry with no actual social benefit gained.

In the real world, this stuff is tough to navigate.
It's amusing that people care because the US has never really been a Democracy. There are democratic elements, but overall the original colonists (except for New Englanders) were horrified at the idea of letting "the people" anywhere near the levers of power...much less voting.

In most cases you get The Taliban, whatever the post-Mubarak government was, or ineffective governments that can't even wipe their own assholes (Latin America, Africa, Haiti).
Not the same thing.

> we have simply run out of space that can be reasonably traversed by car

I don't think it's that simple. There's a lot more housing that could be added with more density, and less transport needed if mixed-use zoning were more common.

> flying cars, high speed trains everywhere

You can get great cities with normal speed trains. Trains can carry far more passengers, for the same footprint, than a highway. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_capacity

> In North America, the car made suburbanization possible

In North America, suburbanization started with streetcars, running on rails. The car changed how we built, yes, but so did Federal Housing Administration, whose standards promoted single-family homes with on-street parking and made it hard to get loans ("red-lining") for the types of housing which made streetcar suburbs economically viable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streetcar_suburb#Decline
It wasn't fair to blame it on FTC and SEC. The blame is on the US Congress, they have the power to create and enact laws. They also can create law to limits the power of the federal agencies if they want to. They had a lot of opportunities to do something for us and they barely did anything except for corporations. Federal agencies only can do much within the scope of their power and laws.
It depends on how big/important/popular of a product you're talking about, but most software that your average joe uses (operating systems, native communication apps, national websites) likely either conduct significant usability testing or largely inform their designs using great usability testing from people like the mozilla foundation and the nielsen norman group. And no-- neither of those organizations have to be perfect for that to be a perfectly valid approach, and if you follow that guidance, you'll never end up with a 'very low contrast' interface.
Time series works amazing until a fundamental assumption breaks or the time frame extends too far. It's pretty much just drawing the existing pattern out further with mathematical precision. It only works till the game changes.
Listening to the huberman podcast about alcohol really hit home. I knew it was bad for me, just not as bad as he explains. It's a horrific drug that most people don't even see as a drug.

I am a weekend drinker and I thought that was ok. It's not. I've decided to quit completely. Last drink was 12 days ago. Fuck alcohol. (I also used to take other drugs but that was many years ago).

I don't think people are suggesting it is wrong by default, just that it's not correct by default, and is in this case the theory it has arrived at is deeply underdetermined by the evidence.
Backwards compatibility has been standard on PC since pretty much the start. This is absolute bare minimum stuff.
I think you're missing the point. Usability is not prescriptive. You implement what your users have the easiest time using. Touch interfaces change how people interact with interfaces. If you care about usability, you work with people on that and not against them.
I love SC2 and think it is one of the best esport games. However it is considered a "classic game" for Blizzard and they have a skeleton crew maintaining it. Funding for professional events has been decreasing consistently and especially reduced in 2023. There was a recent controversial balance patch that highlighted problems with community interaction and communication -- and no one knows how soon until a new patch might be deployed. (While it's also true that most fears by players are overblown). Basically, the whole community just holds its breath hoping things continue as they are and the other shoe never drops on a 13 year old game.

Best case scenario is that Microsoft embraces these properties and revitalizes them without ruining the game in the process. Worst case is they kill it completely...

You can't do this without committing an illegal act (downloading CSAM) and it also wouldn't work (because there's a second server side hash), so no I don't think you should do this.
It seems like the issue is hooking DLL functions, and a lot of people are siding with Valve while blaming AMD.

I find this whole idea of people getting permanently banned due to running software the way they want fairly problematic. There should be more of a presumption of innocence, even if hooking into a game. Also, these AntiCheat programs can be extremely intrusive, as they often scan all other running processes on someone's computer (and probably more stuff - people have been banned for running a Windows VM on Linux.)

I find it weird that people would side with a company that does something like that. Stockholm syndrome?
So ? That's not a big difference lol. The world can be sufficiently represented in text. and bolting in additional modalities to a transformer is trivial. Could just as well be images and audio also.

You think you experience the "true" world ? You don't. You experience a slice of it that your brain often further fabricates at parts.

To the birds that feel and sense electromagnetic waves intuitively to guide travels, your model of vision and direction is fundamentally incomplete/incorrect. No one gets to experience the real world.

To complete the story, their fall had two factors. They had run-ins with the Romans who captured many of their settlements, and the ground water level fell.

> Roman depictions describe the Garamantes as bearing ritual scars and tattoos. Tacitus wrote that they assisted the rebel Tacfarinas and raided Roman coastal settlements. According to Pliny the Elder, Romans eventually grew tired of Garamantian raiding and Lucius Cornelius Balbus captured fifteen of their settlements in 19 BC. In 202 AD, Septimius Severus captured the capital city of Garama.

> The decline of the Garamantian culture may have been connected to worsening climatic conditions, or overuse of water resources. What is desert today was once fairly good agricultural land and was enhanced through the Garamantian irrigation system 1,500 years ago. As fossil water is a non-renewable resource, over the six centuries of the Garamantian kingdom, the ground water level fell.

This swings between so many wildly different things. Yes, Apple should be encrypting the contents of connections, by using a TLS connection and/or app-layer encryption. No, I don't think OSCP is inherently evil, although it should also use encrypted traffic if it doesn't today.

Shameless plug. I wrote a library called MathUp with the purpose of having an quick to write and easy to read syntax and compiles to MathML. It is whitespace aware (unlike asciimath) so you can group sub-expressions together in a really readable way.

x = -b +- sqrt(-b-4ac) / 2a

would actually put the -b ± part in front of the fraction:

x = -b+-sqrt(-b-4ac) / 2a

works as intended, as does:

x = (-b +- sqrt(-b-4ac)) / 2a

I haven’t touched it for a minute and it is does not fully support MathML 4, meaning there are expressions which cannot be read properly by chrome. I was always going to revist this at some point but time is hard to find.

There's fuck all that ZFS can do if the drive lies about what has or hasn't been written yet, journal or no journal. USB devices are known to do this all the time.

If the drive lies and says that part of the journal has been written when it hasn't yet, and ZFS goes ahead and writes the next part of the journal, then when you unplug the drive and the first part of the journal goes away (which the 2nd depended on) you're hosed. There have to be places where ZFS blocks until something critical has definitely, absolutely, been written to disk.

At that point the only thing ZFS can do is try to unwind back to whatever it thinks is a consistent state, but this isn't 100% guaranteed. (it depends on what old data is still hanging around)
Of course they do. Democratic societies vote for people who look after their own interested, and often times, the interest of these people are at direct odds to the interests of American companies. When politicians put the interest of their people over the interest of Western powers, they get labelled as "socialists" or "communists" and a dictator gets installed to stop the "contagion".

Dictators will gladly do the dirty work of repressing the population while giving American companies their cut. And if these dictators forget their place, the US government will send a little freedom their way.

It's not a foolproof strategy, but it works well enough.

Yes. I don’t get it. I don’t write tons of lines of code but when I do it has to be secure, readable, and well understood. Some of the answers from copilot are just wrong and others are less than useful.

Edit: I don’t write a lot of code, but I read a ton. I think that lines up with most mature code bases and senior staff.
This subjects comes up in every single discussion on LLMs, and every time someone asserts with perfect confidence that LLMs couldn't possibly have a world model.

But that confidence is based on intuition, not on any empirical observations. All the research we've seen so far points in the other direction: sufficiently trained LLMs do have a world model that you can find in their weights, changing these weights changes their completions in a way consistent with the new world model, etc. See OthelloGPT for the most blatant example.

I'm starting to wish we had something like a FAQ to point to, with a summary of all the research on the subject, because it's pretty settled by now.
This can backfire sometimes. My parents tried to do this with me for Italian, and it ended up causing me some problems with English, so they had to stop. I still tend to slur my words in English, although I speak very well in Italian and have been learning the language very easily.
I've sometimes wondered why not make `-` whitespace dependent to resolve this one. Signed numbers store the sign bit in their representation, so enforcing the sign character to be in the same word also seems reasonable - and is there anyone who would mind actually having to put at least one space around binary arithmetic operators? We've all agreed that that's the sane way to write them by now, yes?
Nothing in this post (either the system implementation details or the supposed consequences of detection) is how it actually works in reality, so I don't think you should spent much time being upset that something you just made up has a security hole in it.

e.g. there isn't a high false positive rate, the attack in this article doesn't work because the attacker doesn't have access to all the hashing algorithms used, and it doesn't text the police.
