Unless I'm misunderstanding, I think that's kind of orthogonal to the question of encrypted transit. Plenty of services that expose only HTTPS don't encrypt at rest (and vice versa).

Yes. There’s Netflix set up on the tv at my home. I don’t pay for it and I watched < 10 hours of content in the last 3 years.

That’s definitely not worth 5€/month for me.

Not saying it’s not worth it for everyone, just saying the value streaming services provide is not all that absolute.

I’m not sure if PCI/HIPPA/whatever auditors would have a positive reaction to ReactOS. And if the OS had issues with icons in a toolbar in 25-year-old software up until 2023, would you trust it to run the $5 million hardware?
No, I’m an atheist.

Afaik, DDT continues to be accepted for malarial mosquito control; DDT as an agricultural pesticide is what got a worldwide ban.
> As many have noted the reason this functionality is not available is because it invariably leads to commodification of services.

Exactly right, and that's why when AI-based voice assistants become wildly capable someday, some of the more brand-based companies will lose a lot of value. I'll be asking Alexa/Siri/Google Assistant for that ride/groceries/etc and as long as it's good, I won't care where it comes from. The (perceived) value will be with the voice assistant, not the fulfilling service.
I'm the sort of person who doesn't take NPR or Fox News as serious sources.

Some people really can't understand that. They see the works as two sides, good vs evil, themselves having chosen good.
I agree that the video doesn't do a very good job of explaining the workings of the automata, but I don't think that makes it a poor video.

I don't think he is trying to explain how they work, he's just trying to give an overview of the topic, with particular focus on how they influenced the society around them, and I think he did a good job.
I’m not sure I agree with the calculation. Basically they use each variable as independent when they are by nature not - as in if you have iPhone in the headers, you’ll probably have certain ram and gpu hashes. So those aren’t necessarily fully independent bits of info.
>There was nothing like an entire season being dropped at once for new shows.

Even with the streaming platforms, entire season drops is not a guarantee for new content. Lots of shows are weekly drops, and I'm guessing it will only become standard for all new content. Ensures people don't pay for a single month or use a free trial period to watch the entire season. Rent seeking is only going to creep into more and more of your life
10 years ago we didn't have reusable rockets, or mass produced satellites, or single constellations more than double the number of all others combined. We are on the cusp of having reusable launch vehicles bigger than the space station. There is no factory that mass produces telescopes yet.
A decade since 'Sapiens': Scientific knowledge or populism?
Yeah +1 on not even talking to anyone in management about tests.

I've never talked about solving problems like that, always just talked about the time to fix the bug / implement the feature, and test were implicitly part of that. I've also never had a manager start micromanaging me over how many tests I was writing. That's always been my own judgment call to make.
I don't think it requires warehousing. Any underpriced (non-cartel) units are going to be held onto by the current renter because the available market is too expensive to move. But the renters being forced to the market by rent increases aren't finding cheaper places so they're paying higher rents. Presumably any new construction is going to be in the cartel.
It doesn’t which is really annoying.
> I agree, but if we're doing this, lets also make Human Drivers do this, and for real parity, make sure all human drivers are kitted out with all the same cameras and logging systems we ask of from autonomous car companies, auto submitted to the DMV.

Human drivers are the status quo. Once you consistently show that self driving can do better there would be a point in discussing that.

The problem is that you can't because such technology simply does not exist. There is no perception technology that is reliable enough. There is no prediction technology that is reliable enough.

To me it is obvious that Cruise and Waymo (and their likes) simply cannot withstand any serious scrutiny.

> P.S: If the claim is that a one-time DMV driving test is enough, then that should be enough for autonomous cars as well (I'm not making that claim)

The DMV driving test is just one element. We also know how human develop and what skills they acquire and when.

We don't let them drive until they're 15-17 (depending on local laws) because they lack certain abilities earlier than that. For example, humans acquire object permanance at around 24 months.

The Cruise incident shows that Cruise vehicles lack object permanance. They should not be elegible even for a DMV appointment.

A Secret War New Wounds, and Silence from The Pentagon
More than half the Marines in the battery had eventually received diagnoses of traumatic brain injuries, according to a briefing prepared for Marine Corps headquarters. The report warned that the experience in Syria showed that firing a high number of rounds, day after day, could incapacitate crews “faster than combat replacements can be trained to replace them.”
It will be interesting to see how this argued. I personally am not sure such a complex evaluation of the algorithm is needed. If everyone agrees to tell Frank what they charge with the understanding Frank will use this data to tell you what to charge, that’s collusion.
That sounds like exactly what happened. I've been in that position many times in games I've worked on and seen it happen.
To be honest, I should do a little bit of experimental steaming rice in my stove top pressure cooker and see how that goes.

The Current State of MyQ – From the Codeowner
I just got CP2077 along with a new system, where I experience frame rates regularly north of 150 - almost always north of 100 with PBR, everything maxed out. It runs incredibly smooth 100% of the time, and looks completely stunning on my 32" 2560x1440x144 monitor. Specs are 4090/7800x3d, 64gb 6000c30, 990 pro nvme, bought mostly for being able to run DCS World (and iRacing) on triple screens plus Star Citizen. The 4090 is beast, and absolutely worth it.

I haven't had time or perhaps motivation to load up CS2 much, with that superb Cyberpunk story to be explored (and planes to fly), but on the initial tutorial I noticed a weirdly low fps for what was not a super impressive image.

I installed Skylines 2 through my gamepass; my initial thoughts were to come back after some post release patch cycles.

It took the CP2077 team a lot of time but they completely turned a trainwreck into something rather magic, so I'm hoping Skylines 2 will experience the same. I did enjoy the original release years ago. (Edit: Gamers Nexus' video led me to City Planner Plays, which shows just what can be made - the scope of Skylines 2 looks amazing, given my hardware I could probably get into it sooner rather than later!)

Finally a kudos to the author for this in depth, well written article! I really enjoyed it.
The problem is not being dressing up, the problem is dressing up and then doing photo ops in areas where usually you don't really wanna be photographed. There always been an expectation of privacy on the dance floor at more underground places, but people seem to be getting a bit more shameless regarding not caring about the privacy of others.

Well, yes, because it doesn't matter. It is on the top seller list on Steam. I agree with you, but we can discuss fixes till our fingers bleed. In the end, the problem is capitalism.

Ads are not an important part of society. They're a crowbar cooked up by companies to barge into your daily life, as if they deserve to be seen and heard just because they want your money!

We need to cut middlemen out of the problem. 'creators' and 'influencers' and shit should find ways to make money from their fans directly.

Patreon, Flattr, gittip, etc are ways to achieve this.

Companies have no more right to communication than the rest of us, and they don't deserve any social or legal protection for the time and attention they waste in society daily from their incessant marketing.
The answer used to be Yes. 32GB RAM was a spec I'd commonly try to get. As the other commenter has indicated, contemporary browsers have decent logic for unloading open tabs from RAM. Likely it's one of the many improvements made after Google Chrome received strong criticism for it's RAM consumption.
DOTS is homegrown isn’t it?
a 5-6% increase in something can often be significant.

Also, who is brave enough to fire a plastic gun? Really?

This is a common reaction from people who know absolutely nothing about 3d printed guns, or guns in general. Many modern handguns, like the ubiquitous Glock 17, are made of plastic. There are metal components (eg the barrel, the firing pin, trigger group) which are relatively easy to make by hand or can be easily purchased. US firearms regulation controls the 'shell' of the gun into which the other parts fit, but many components are unregulated, in part because existing gun owners often customize or replace worn parts.
Note that if you are 100% sure it is an PCIe AHCI drive, an PCIe NVME drive with the correct option ROM will also work, and be bootable. The first NVMe drives all had working option ROMs; you can google around and you'll find people compiling lists.
Yeah I think the idea is that without the algorithm, a landlord is more likely to game theoretically "defect" and advertise lower rent to fill a vacancy, but the algorithm discourages that in favor of cooperation/collusion.
I bet they won't try to sell Donald Trump's inactive personal account.

This will have interesting consequences if, for example a reporter who no longer uses X, gets their username sold. The person who buys it of course will appear authenticated, and then the fraudulent news begins.

This is literally facilitating impersonation. I don't see how anyone could consider it ethical, and surely there are legal ramifications.

hot take. abolish copyright and setup cryptographic systems that base themselves on the concepts of issuance. that way the copyright content is only different because it is 'official' and this way you can have clout because you have the 'legit' copy, but do not enforce arbitration or copyright law. If I want to have the legit copy then I will seek it out, but if I do not know, cannot afford the 'official' copy, then let me get access to the knockoff pirate version ... I accept the risk ....and society benefits from my knowledge gain....GDP is promoted by intelligence, Innovation, hacks, etc. and to achieve that access to knowledge is paramount. that means access to technology
Because the story was misrepresented and it wasn't truly voted on in the normal sense.

In the US Congress, how many people are present matters to the vote. So if a bunch of Congressmen take off, it would give enormous power to the few people who remain. Because of this, there's a gentlemen's agreement that on those sorts of days, the people who are there just clock in and don't actually vote. My understanding is that the daylight savings "vote" was this type of situation where someone violated the gentlemen's agreement and voted on it without a planned vote. It doesn't really affect anything though because it would need to pass both sides of Congress and this was just one of them.

As far as why anyone be against it, I'm not sure, but it wasn't "almost" passed as the media made it sound like.
nope, no CDN. It has NGINX reverse proxy
I'm thinking specifically of companies which used the books3 dataset (a rip of the private tracker bibliotik) to train LLMs.

I was wrong about it being legal, however, and there are ongoing lawsuits.
We need an events w/ providers framework.

If you can afford to put your providers credentials and build all these integrations, it will work. You need to provide reasonable abstractions between them (Uber/Lyft use the same abstraction)

Part of the problem also remains that many providers do not have a straightforward way of giving out keys, and allowing users to log on to a third party app.

Businesses won't like it. (See other reply on Adversarial Interoperability) They'll keep breaking these flows often.
You don't need to evaluate the algorithm.

If a subset of companies use the exact same algorithm for price discovery, is there a form of price-fixing? This is the key question being argued.

If the courts rule against Realpage, then any form of algorithmic price discovery en-masse could be found to be anti-competitive.

This might mean you can't use TheTradeDesk and Google Adsense en-masse for example.

Basically, as of today, a lot of price discovery is now automated by a majority of companies using a handful of vendors for this.
Yes, those are quite flammable too.
Bank of America has started refusing to let me transfer to the new Chase account for Wise US, saying their account has been flagged for fraud.
This is how politics works. We have a maximum of 535 law makers with out 18,000 staffers. The reason there is constant discussion about net neutrality is because it is real and actual. There is no connection whatsoever abandoning the actuality of net neutrality and the fanciful notions you imagine would be virtuous. There is no reason to imagine your ideas are ever liable to be made real even if useful.

Abandoning the actual for the fanciful nets us only a loss of both.
A few years ago I spent a week in Berlin, intending to party after having heard its reputation. The clubs were a parade of "oh, you don't know who's DJing? Can't come in" and "you're wearing a scarf, can't come in" (it was December, so cold and presumably not peak partying season). At Berghain it was something like "sorry, private event." Fuck Berlin clubs, if they want to turn down customers trying to give them money, let them succeed at their attempted suicide.

(Having said that, while having what was supposed to be my last drink of the entire trip on my last night, I met an Austrian guy who told me about some club in walking distance he swore was good, so we went and it in fact was so good I missed my flight the next day, so it's not all clubs that are raging dickbags to would-be customers at the door, the exceptions are just hard to find.)
> Maybe they could have gotten away with this with UE5's Nanite

Exactly.

If unity actually delivered a workable graphics pipeline (for the DOTS/ECS stack, or at all keeping up with what UE seems to be doing) these things probably wouldn't be an issue.
It’s speculation based on these mesh sizes being so arbitrary in the game development process and what’s broken being unnecessarily window dressing for gameplay. It’s the kind of thing that could be delayed to the last minute with some simple placeholder.

“Now you might say that these are just cherry-picked examples, and that modern hardware handles models like these just fine. And you would be broadly correct in that, but the problem is that all of these relatively small costs start to add up, especially in a city builder where one unoptimized model might get rendered a few hundred times in a single frame. Rasterizing tens of thousands of polygons per instance per frame and literally not affecting a single pixel is just wasteful, whether or not the hardware can handle it. The issues are luckily quite easy to fix, both by creating more LOD variants and by improving the culling system. It will take some time though, and it remains to be seen if CO and Paradox want to invest that time, especially if it involves going through most of the game’s assets and fixing them one by one.”

IE: The the game would have looked nearly complete even if none of these meshes where in use. Meanwhile the buildings themselves are optimized.
Clubbing might be a young persons pass time, but techno and dancing is not just young people's pass time.
Yep, GitHub is the next in our roadmap. A bit more tricky to scale it, so we decided to start with GitLab, first.
> it horrifyingly orientalizes and conflates polyamory with harassment

I mean, Caroline Ellison herself is the one who said her relationship goals (which was to a large degree coterminous with company structure) was "best characterized as something like 'imperial Chinese harem'" no? It's not Time "orientalizing", it's one particular fucked up polycule. Which also happened to be one of the highest visibility ones in "the movement" (whether you take that as EA, crypto, Rationalism, Bay Area rich kid libertinism, whatever).

Polyamory takes on a distinctly awful flavor when imported into EA (and before that Rationalist, which I would assume is where it reached EA from) communities. I would assume abuse and codependence before healthy relationships in these cases, because frankly I see 99% of this movement is at best emotionally immature.
Interesting. I never upgraded to 7, been waiting to try 8 when it’s out. Might give the beta a try

Well, the approach currently doesn't apply to architectures being used in practice, and it's not clear, at least to me, if it can scale to large datasets.

IIRC, that Microsoft employee was acting alone, trying to pick a fight with ReactOS. He backpedalled when the community asked if he was representing his company. My guess is that his management chain heard about the drama he was creating, and he stopped commenting.
The Peacock streaming service will not run at all on Linux and my understanding is that this is because it requires the OS provide a certain level of DRM. A main goal of mandating a certain TPM level to run Windows is clearly so that they can provide TPM-backed DRM APIs that are enforced at the OS level and can't be worked around in software.

I'm not sure if anything actually requires TPM per se yet because they still need to support Windows 10 but it's clearly the eventual goal.
You should contact Tom Brown on his website. He states he's always interested in hearing about a lost apple variety.

What's the variety that is near you?
Given their fairly lacklustre progress in the past 20ish years [0], I doubt they’ll manage to make it much better within the next two.

Windows 10 going out of support is not going to cause the computers to stop working and become e-waste. Commonly used software (such as web browsers) will continue to support Windows 10 for a few more years; Windows itself may be less secure, but for basic usage and with a restrictive firewall, it should be fine.

If you’re concerned about lack of support for Windows 10 and want to switch to a supported OS, you’ll be better off using Linux.

My final paragraph addresses that, but to expand:

Devs have been worried about offshoring/immigrants replacing them/lowering their wages for decades.

The only outcome we have ever observed from having more people building software is that dramatically more software jobs have become possible and in-demand.

Also, and I understand why you might not make this argument, but let’s be honest: software engineering wages are extraordinarily high. Slowing or even reversing that growth by small amounts on average would still leave millions of extremely well-paid jobs.
There's Petty's Orchard in Melbourne (Templestowe): https://www.manningham.vic.gov.au/venues/pettys-orchard who maintain about 200 varieties of apple.

I have no idea what it's like now, but I went to an open day there years ago and it was incredible. What I learned is there are some extremely ugly Apple varieties that would never get picked up by supermarkets, but tasted unlike anything else I've sampled - literally like candy. Looks like Heritage Fruits still do antique apple tastings periodically: https://www.heritagefruitssociety.org/Antique-Apple-Tastings...
