I suspect this will be a disaster. The article already hints at the reason why: "there's no indication yet that it has impacted Cronus or XIM accessories. Cronus and XIM accessories are controversial since they allow users to mimic a mouse and keyboard as an Xbox controller."

Currently, most third-party accessories correctly use their own USB VID:PID pair and are recognised as controllers by virtue of correctly implementing the USB HID protocols. By deciding to block anything that isn't approved by Microsoft, they'll necessarily have to whitelist a set of VID:PID pairs for devices that have been approved, and so unapproved third-party accessories will just fake their VID:PID pairs and present as another device.

Once this happens, there's no way of blacklisting the clones without impacting the genuine devices, unless they further have undocumented identification methods e.g. incorrectly responding to standard messages (e.g. the PS3 controller reported an incorrect number of axes, but would return data correctly when queried) or adding non-standard packet types.
Math is itself indeed not science. It is the language of science. It follows different rules than empirical sciences. But note that word "empirical" there; Popper was really only talking about empirical science, and according to him, that was the only real science. You could argue that there are non-empirical sciences.

Another problem with Popper is probably that outside of physics and chemistry, there are a lot of less exact sciences where predictions and refutations of a theory are never that clear cut. Like his issues with the theory of evolution.

Ultimately, I guess science is also simply "getting to stuff that works by trial and error".

Could someone let me know how I could see all the exhibits released in relation to US v. Google? I am aware of Courtlistener[1], but the actual documents are nowhere to be found.

Though redacted, having a list of all exhibits may make for some good reading.

> you'll be more motivated to write docs because we keep hammering home how docs are connected to the greater mission

There is also the Leverage argument. A few hours spent on docu - if done right - will translate into hundreds (thousands? :) of hours saved by users AND by your own organisation's tech support.

Any dev who is not totally self-absorbed will "get it", if you can convince them that the downstream pipeline is there to translate their implicit knowledge into explicit, accessible knowledge.
>Weirdly, only left wing people read him. But he's actually quite libertarian compatible.

There are quite a few on the Right that read Illich as well. He was, essentially, a communitarian anarchist. Some of his thought is well-received on the Right, particularly his critique of institutionalized education and medicine.

In fact, our own take on AOLServer used xml namespaces for our widget libraries, but alas we got HTML 5 instead, and Web Components are still not widely adopted.

Not everybody has a zillion dollars to spend on expensive thunderbolt displays and they shouldn't have to when the Displayport standard (and other operating systems) support daisy chaining.

> Infestation, vexation, obsession, I do thousands of those a year. I don't even keep track anymore. The real cases of demonic possession itself, I see maybe one or two or three a year on average.

I won't delve too deeply into this but to say...

Thousands a year is pretty hard to believe already. That's (at minimum) 2,000/yr: or 36k in 18 years. Or...5.5 per day (7days wk) or 7-8/day (5 days/wk). Seems physically impossible.

He's seeing 2-3 floaters a year or about 36-54 floaters in his life, so far. He's also seeing physical manifestations (snake's tongue, etc).

The Vatican clearly does not allow recordings (I remember reading this somewhere a few years back) and, to me, it's because nothing physical (manifestations, floating) is actually happening. Occam's razor: Information clamp-down (Vatican not allowing recordings, outside verification) *usually* only happens for a reason - it hurts a brand.

The Vatican say their numbers are growing. Many 3rd-party newspapers say different. As an atheist, I won't source this.

I'll just say that nothing about the exorcist's claims, his numbers, the lack of transparency... feels right. Nothing. Too many dark patterns.
Portugal.

Spain, Greece, Italy, southern Europe has overall superior graphic design tradition. You ca verify this by going on Behance and scrolling through the works of individual countries. The UK is one the worse performers in graphic design, but it has very good product design and engineering. UK architecture is also almost uniformly terrible.

Everyone is on Discord (like Midjourney), it seems. But I think it would be better to actually only offer email and chat support directly. It's hard to build a community, I actually built this back in March and only shared this now.

Yeah, official ChatGPT Plus is hard to compete with. They are cheaper than electricity. But I still struggle at times with the UI. Maybe an approach where a chrome extension fixes a few quirks (like categories, prompt library) is a better option for the future.
Every 80s calculator that I used used the batteries that are still commonly available, CR2032 mostly, but some CR2025 and such as well.

The hard to find batteries (not impossible) tend to be the wierd voltage batteries that cameras mostly used for light metering.
Not everyone has that option, thus we need to also improve C and C++.

As an example, while Microsoft slowly adopts Rust, it keeps putting out best practices and improved tooling, they aren't going to rewrite the whole Windows, XBox and Azure C++ code into Rust for the next couple of decades, or how long they would still matter on the market place.

Or Apple with they increased adoption of Swift, while still having to deliver C, C++, Objective-C and Objective-C++ stuff.

Or Google slowly adopting Rust, yet it still isn't officially supported on the NDK, or being the main language used on V8.

I'd rather recommend reading basics stuff like Guy Debord (Society of Spectacle), André Gorz (Métamorphoses du travail), Schumacher (Small is Beautiful), Kohr (The Breakdown of Nations). A little bit of Bourdieu cannot hurt either

> I believe Product Owner should hold these responsibilities

That's inarguable, as you haven't said why, but I'm saying the structure I described works well. My rationale is: product people don't generally write great tickets, and they also aren't in a position to negotiate features based on technical constraints.
Interesting admission:

Doesn't the Adaptive Controller basically give you the same thing?

If people want to plug random usb controllers, this doesn't stop them. It just means that Microsoft gets to charge you for the adaptor rather than a 3rd party.

I've seen this particular mistake a lot recently. New and exciting auto-corrupt from the latest version of iOS?

Given that our brains rewire themselves live, which ANNs can only do by being excessively connected and updating weights to/from zero, silicone (I'm thinking mainly the oil form) may be a better inspiration than lego.

This is an important observation. Lists embedded in looong sentences deformatted into text paragraphs lead to the dreaded MEGO syndrome.

If a list is important enough that the reader will want to refer back to it later, then by all means format it _as a list_ in order to aid subsequent visual reacquisition.

cilium gateway for UDP is still WIP but that's because of the cni implementation not the spec. they do not differentiate data streams so they can't use 2 gateways on the same port for TCP and UDP. I think.
These kind of attacks are pretty rare in general, and for X-Box machines even more so (if they even exist at all). It's not really a huge deal for most people, and locking everything down for everyone is a huge price to pay. It also seems to me that most actors deploying these kind of attacks can bypass these limits them without too much trouble.

If you really want this protection then you can just lock it down yourself.
This was highly informative, but the overall tone comes across as (to me) overly condescending, with lots of complaints about having to download "random" software. It's not made clear what the OP's author would expect, where the software can come from in order not to be random.

Also, as has been pointed out in comments on the OP site too, the programming language on the Arduino is not C but Wiring/C++. I see people have pointed that out here, too already.

I'm also curious how large the OP's software was, since it was never considered to manually inspect it for overflow once it was deemed impossible to get the proper warnings exposed. Evidently rewriting it in Rust and getting it to compile was enough to fix the overflow problems since the Rust software ran correctly. Sounds like the code was not too massive (it's an 8-bit chip after all so it is probably not doing something super-complicated) and it should have been possible to review it and figure out the problem.
But where did they say they only used each device for 1.5 years? That seemed like your assumption based on the quoted dozen laptops across twenty years; I certainly have a number of devices concurrently, with the oldest now being 14 years (still working though only on a power supply as the battery is badly degraded). That said I also strongly prefer a replaceable drive, but more because I don't want to buy the capacity at today's price that I'll only truly need in a few years time, if ever.
Wouldn't it be easy to have a exams without calculators? Or on dumb terminals that only have basic apps like calculators on them?

Where I grew up, exams disallowed any calculators or any kind of other electronic devices. From what I see, using calculators at exams is mostly an American thing.

I have trouble with believing an author has the students' interests at heart when the answers to solutions are not /in/ the book. Why on earth not? It makes no sense from any student perspective.

I know it's common in textbooks to not even have them available at all. Any ideas why these are the norm not putting them where they clearly belong? It just seems so hostile.

I think Deschooling Society is a great read, gets the problem with schools and education right.

However it fails to offer a compelling solution. Why? Because it fails to address the complexity of modern day subjects to learn.
Not sure if it's AdNauseam or BypassPaywalls (which does prevent you from seeing your logged in algorithmic recommendations), but I'm not getting ads or bothered anymore. I was, using Brave, with or without uBlock Origin turned on.

Hopefully this brings more creators over to Rumble, Bitchute, and/or Odysee though -- it's about time YouTube gets ditched en masse, and not just for the fringe content.
Commercial work in graphic design (Ad posters in the tube), flyers from museums and galleries, small shop signage in high streets, information posters and calendars. All pretty bad to awful in the Uk.

There are exceptions like others have pointed out - public signage in Tube and roads, Gov.UK, TFL (TFL has the most consistent good design of any institution or company I’ve ever seen in the UK).

Spain, Greece, Italy and Portugal all have far stronger graphic design traditions. Germany and Switzerland too but different styles. (I much prefer the Barcelona/Brazil style myself). You can see this by looking up any individual country on Behance.

Another piece of proof is looking up some senior designers on some of the top agencies in the UK. They are very very often from abroad - usually from the countries I’ve listed above. Most people who work in creative advertising know this (like me). The top agency in London right now - Builders Club - has a Swiss Creative Director. A top 3D studio - Panoply - is headed by Swedes I believe. The only school in the UK that consistently makes top visual designers is Central St Martins.

This is not so much an insult to the country btw - each country has its own strengths. The Uk is incredibly strong in product design and fashion design, and in engineering. But graphic design is just not part of its core strengths I’d say. I’ve been told that kids these days don’t even necessarily receive arts education in public schools - is that true?
Note that I was talking about Gateway, which is the tool that the original article is about. I was referring to whether it would make any sense for me to move from IngressRoute to Gateway any time soon.

The process of evolution acts on organic systems, it doesn't act on quantum fields.

I appreciate there's some (imv strange) sense of 'intelligence' where 'finding the right puzzle piece' counts. I cannot fathom why we care about such a notion, and it seems to have almost nothing to do with what we do care about re 'intelligence'.

We care about that thing animals do, that thing which some do better than others. That thing which evolution brought about for (rapid) adaptive fitness to one's environment.

'Everything else is stamp collecting'

We already have a perfectly good understanding of puzzles and their solutions -- animals are their inventors

Intelligence isnt in the solution to a puzzle it's in its design, and especially, in what one does when one cannot solve it -- ie., how one adapts

The csci view of 'intelligence' is an act of self-aggrandising, it turns out to be: csci!

This is none-sense.
probably their VCs.
Are they going to ban "smart glasses" as well? What about drones? Electric cars? 2FA devices with cameras? Laptops? Trucks? Cars with backup cameras?

Cameras are ubiquitous, they are part of an ever increasing array of equipment and are getting better all the time. Banning cameras is a loosing proposition whether you like it or not.
I think the chance that the person creating the "dumb" terminal is more competent at locking down the system than students are at breaking out of the "dumb" terminal is low.

There's this fun space made of p-adic numbers upon which you can define a simple distance, and then circles have mind bending properties like the diameter (max edge to edge distance) and radius (distance from edge to center) being equal to each other.

On another note, I find that LCD screen and color pallet they used in the phone cooler looking than the dull flat design muck I am used to seeing everywhere. They basically took those old Green monochrome LCDs and acted as if those screens were naturally going to evolve into some sort of el type display as the next generation. They didn't see the rise of CPU power enabling full color full motion displays like we have now.
Because "AGI" is very poorly defined, and ChatGPT is very "general" (compared to everything before it) and matches some (but not all) definitions of "intelligent".
I totally agree with this sentiment. Could I also bill the creator for my time invested in learning the software and adjusting my workflows for it, all the hours invested before the hidden anti-features showed the true intention of the software? Otherwise this whole argument could legitimize spyware. I could not reasonably decide to stop using the software before I was informed of the anti-features, regardless of how their invasiveness.
