I believe WINE already builds for Serenity, but that's just the start of it.

If ReactOS ever manages to make its goals a reality, not only can you run basic Windows applications on it, your Windows XP drivers will also work. In a perfect world, ReactOS will provide "Windows XP, but open source and with the security holes patched".

That's completely different from SerenityOS's "let's make a modern operating system using modern tooling with a modern API that happens to look like a late 90s OS". If all you care about is running programs in Wine with a Win9x aesthetic, you'll have a much easier time theming LXDE or KDE instead.
Microsoft Encarta changed the way we learn
On a 3700X you can just switch on the eTPM and it should work. Most bioses come with it off. And no Microsoft doesn't tell you this with a clear message.

But in my opinion this isn't really about security. It's more about DRM. Microsoft wants to appease the content providers by requiring TPM, supporting attestation etc.

This way they can support running Android apps (and other things like their own store thing they're still pushing) but keep the user from messing with them under the hood. The same way macOS does with iOS apps. If you turn off system integrity protection on Mac you will lose the ability to run iOS apps.
If you scroll down it’s listed right there: Cisco, NASA, Netflix, Pearson

It feels a little different than n8n but I can’t tell the differences at first glance.
> Bromine has also been used to make flame retardant fabrics, carpet, furniture, etc.

While this argument feels right, chemically it makes no sense. You can do this with any element. It’s the same as saying you shouldn’t drink water because it has hydrogen and oxygen which are used as rocket fuel.
I wouldn't drink a cup of salt water.
This is a good perspective.

What did you actually miss? Is your life worse for it?
You can use the straight through operator!

During the forward pass you sample a discrete outcome given your NN weights to get an error for backprop. During the backward pass you directly propogate through the weights.

This GradTree paper[1] does a good job covering how to do discrete gradient-based optimization (i.e. NNs w/ discrete representations).

Another option is to use a GFlowNet[2]. Then you have a NN policy that takes discrete actions like you're playing an RL game. You're not back-propogating through something that isn't continuous, but you're utilizing a NN to make informed decisions about a problem with a discrete representation.

I don’t like what you’re saying, so here’s how I’m going to make your life hell until you start saying what I expect you to say.
If it's not, how would they possibly enforce it?
They also released Win11, so I'm inclined to never believe a word they say ever again.
I would pay a good chunk of money for a BIFL device that took usb-c, and had support for attacking a shaver head or toothbrush head, and had reasonably priced head replacements for both.
I looked at Fable and the resulting code just looked way more complicated than anything Javascript could write. I'm interested in F# still on the backend, but I don't think people "haven't discovered" Fable, it's just not a great alternative.
I wish there was more support to not just decriminalize but legalize psychedelics broadly. I know there are plenty of ongoing clinical trials, but the collection of Psilocybin, LSD, Mescaline, Ibogaine is genuinely a treasure chest and probably the best thing that has happened to medicine in a long time, if not ever.

Edit: i highly recommend watching Michael Pollan's "How to change your mind" (Netflix documentary). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8LRb4jfZ9g
the last truck I had was a Toyota mini pickup. used it frequently on weekends hauling support equipment for dog field events, supplies for rebuilding my house, and telescope kit for observing sessions miles from home.

It was cheaper to by my own pickup and use it everyday than buy a car and rent a pickup on the weeks. when you add the hassle of pickup and drop-off an time pressure to return before you accrue another day charge, owning was definitely cheaper

today, pickups are pillow princess trucks. no scratches, clean bed, no mud.

I am missing my little Toyota. Today, I need to haul plywood, 2x4s, foam board insulation and fiberglass panels for some home projects I was hoping to start today. I instead of using my truck, I have to spend 100+ to rent a body to bring the parts here sometime in the next week and damage them in transit.
Oh, I indeed read that as "I [re]sell a device". In the case of them selling devices with embedded non-extractable keys, it could really be DRM.

Or something else! Payment cards work like that – they hold keys that nobody is supposed to be able to duplicate; certainly not third-parties, but also not the legitimate account-/cardholder.

There are plenty of uses for trusted computing other than DRM; they're just usually not as disruptive/frustrating to legitimate customers as DRM (and as a result are not as contentious), so they don't get as much attention.
Windows 11 23H2: KB5031656 Rivoluziona la Configurazione

Microsoft ha lanciato un importante aggiornamento per Windows 11 questa settimana, noto come versione 23H2, segnando un passo avanti significativo per il sistema operativo. Sebbene gli utenti potessero scaricare le ISO dal giorno dell'annuncio, l'atteso strumento di creazione media di Microsoft non era ancora pronto per supportare il download dell'aggiornamento. A seguito delle richieste di chiarimento, l'azienda ha risposto che lo strumento richiede ulteriori "ottimizzazioni" e sarà disponibile nella settimana successiva.

Innovando nel processo di aggiornamento, Microsoft ha rilasciato KB5031656, un aggiornamento dinamico che migliora notevolmente la configurazione di Windows 11 per le versioni 23H2 e anche per la precedente 22H2. Tale aggiornamento risulta essenziale poiché entrambe le versioni condividono in gran parte lo stesso nucleo di file di sistema.

L'aggiornamento KB5031656 si concentra sull'ottimizzazione dei binari di configurazione e su tutti i file correlati, facilitando e rendendo più sicuro il processo di aggiornamento delle funzionalità. Secondo l'articolo di supporto di Microsoft, ecco i punti salienti dell'aggiornamento:

Miglioramenti alla Configurazione: Introduzione di correzioni ai binari e ai file utilizzati durante l'installazione delle nuove funzionalità, garantendo un processo di aggiornamento più stabile e affidabile.
Aggiornamenti Safe OS: Implementazione di fix per il "safe OS", migliorando l'ambiente di ripristino di Windows e assicurando una maggiore sicurezza durante l'aggiornamento.
Aggiornamenti del Servicing Stack: Correzioni critiche al stack di manutenzione di Windows 10, indispensabili per completare l'aggiornamento delle funzionalità.
Ultimo Aggiornamento Cumulativo: Installazione dell'ultimo aggiornamento cumulativo di qualità per mantenere il sistema aggiornato con le ultime migliorie di sicurezza e performance.
Aggiornamenti dei Driver: Inclusione delle versioni più recenti dei driver già pubblicati dai produttori e ottimizzati per l'aggiornamento dinamico.

L'aggiornamento KB5031656 è disponibile per il download sul sito web del Catalogo di Microsoft Update, offrendo agli utenti un'opportunità per una configurazione più snella e performante di Windows 11, preparando il terreno per un'esperienza utente migliorata.

Con queste azioni, Microsoft dimostra il suo impegno nel fornire non solo aggiornamenti essenziali ma anche nel garantire che il processo di aggiornamento stesso sia il più fluido possibile, riflettendo la volontà dell'azienda di supportare i suoi utenti con strumenti sempre più evoluti e affidabili.
Microsoft make money because business licenses for windows aren't free. You were downvoted because your comment was stupid. HTH.
> work is a Microsoft estate, again making Linux a no-go for me.

Why is that a factor? I use Windows at work, but at home all of my machines are Linux. It doesn't cause me any issues.
The thing to do is bank it until next spring, so as not to lose another hour then. Right?

What I want to know is who collects the interest on the hours we're "saving" here, and why don't they pay that back to us?
Doesn’t Microsoft only make Windows 11 “free” if you’ve already paid for a Windows license previously? That means they benefit when you buy a whole new machine.

Furthermore, Microsoft makes money from ads, so a more intrusive UI along with more extreme data harvesting also leads to more profits.
it's more complicated than that because of the scale of human society. example: mandatory LED light bulbs.

any individual person considering only themselves, would be correct to choose filament over LED because of cost and very little electricity savings. However, every light socket in the country switching to LED in aggregate represents a significant amount of energy savings for power plants and therefore less carbon output. this is a basic complication.

going one level deeper, there is the supply chain of LEDs vs filament bulbs and the relative impact of their carbon footprints and mining of rare earth minerals. This is where it starts getting difficult to parse which is a net gain for the planet.

another level below that is what you cite, the costs associated with the transition itself. A lot of energy (both electrical and human) is wasted by both supporters and detractors arguing in the public sphere, spending entire global broadcasts on the subject, flying around in private jets, etc. How much of this is necessary depends on the net savings from the first two levels, which is pretty hard to calculate accurately.

So you do you, but personally I try not to commit to blanket statements that erase all nuance and subtlety - generally that leads to missing important context.
Skepticism isn't the knee-jerk reaction that everything you hear is false, it's the willingness to explore in good faith the possibility that those things are true.
I don't think that could explain it. PFAS also derive from hydrocarbons, but with more expensive chemical engineering required to get to the final product.
It kind of sounds like there isn't.
Berghain has created the problem of being a tourist magnet for itself by being exclusive. As someone who loves techno, I'd much rather everybody gets to join in and enjoy themselves instead of just those who meet the bar. As long as you establish rules, like no photos/videos. You can't "convert" people who don't get the experience.

>You don't need a "uniform",

Everybody says you need to wear black. Even the tourists have wisened up to that.
I think this one is especially worse, because TPM is a piece of hardware and is for security. The combination of the two alienates a lot of software engineers, like >90%. I've never met anyone in real-life who already knew how to use TPM, though many do know what it is and what it's for.

So, it's really a bad (or s**ty) topic to talk about in front of an unsuspecting audience, but certainly there are people who would appreciate the work, especially in embedded/robotics fields (which have been rising slowly for a long time).
100% with you. I’m no pro, but my stainless pot rice is basically perfect. Only thing I’m not great at is seasoning it like sushi places do.
TJ actually has a video on this very topic

The tl;dw is that the term 'PDE' means the tool requires some work in order to personalise, but because neovim exposes a robust API that work is fun and rewarding. Additionally, he makes the point that because you configure it in the same language as you script it with (lua), you have much greater control over how all the pieces fit together.

That’s the problem though. China is already building more renewables than any where on the world (probably more than the rest of the world combined). They still have to ramp up coal production to meet demand despite all those growth. The question isn’t about whether to build more renewable, but how.
Some people have supposedly made Windows XP boot under UEFI by using some stuff from Windows Longhorn/Vista/7: https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=456492#p45...
See Figure 1 and https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~y328yu/classics/Hecht-Nielsen.pdf
The formula is slightly wrong though. This is the right one:

a or b = a + b - (a * b)

The last term is equivalent to a conjunction. Which also makes sense when you think of probability:

P(a or b) = P(a) + P(b) - P(a and b)
As much as this appeals to me, it doesn't seem feasible: the problem is that this road ends at the Harvard Bridge (so called because it isn't near Harvard, because Boston), which crosses the river into Boston. Close this off, and traffic on the two adjacent river crossings, the Longfellow and BU Bridges, goes from "terrible" to "you should have walked".

Aha! you say, there is a perfectly good subway right there! Why don't people take that? Because the MBTA, our transit agency, is a notorious disaster. I won't load you down with examples here, but you can google e.g. "MBTA dumpster fire" or "what is wrong with the MBTA" and soon you'll know all you need to know.

I am a little bit hopeful that Philip Eng, the former head of LIRR and new GM of the MBTA, will be able to turn it around. He really seems to mean business, and he's an actual engineer with experience running a railroad. The old GM, Steve Poftak, was mainly qualified by having an MBA, having the right ideological positions, and knowing the old governor. I don't think anyone is going to miss him.
Strong recommend for investing in a Zojirushi.

You will get consistently great rice and the devices are known to last decades when properly cared for.

I prefer msgpack if the data contains a lot of numeric values. Representing numbers as strings like in JSON can blow up the size and msgpack is usually just as simple to use.
More like the DRM folks demand this, or the platform will be no longer "HDCP compliant".

You still need to support those, or your expensive factory automation platform stops working.

Unless society as a whole is entirely on-board on paying factory renovations, or the environmental impact of such upheaval of scrapping away working manufacturing plants.
> I still don’t get why people buy these one off appliances like rice cookers.

I can set a timer so the rice is ready first thing in the morning. My Zojirushi can cook a variety of rice techniques, like gaba brown which takes 3.5 hours. And after it is cooked, it will keep the rice warm for days, which is great for meal planning.
Meanwhile the flagship Nexus 5X reached EOL already in 2018, and I doubt there were many Android 6 devices with longer support. Yet it was released the same year as Windows 10...
Get a Carbon Steel pan instead.

These are similar metal composition to cast iron, where you can season them with oils, but are forged (ie pressed) into shape, rather than cast. So you get a smooth surface, which is easier for non-stick use and lighter weight.

Carbon steel are better for eggs, omelettes, etc, but cast iron are often better for steaks/meats, because they retain heat better. There are tons of videos on Youtube if you are curious.
> By that argument, conjunction is also called "addition". Perhaps there's a different reason?

A chain of (arbitrary) conjunctions is not necessarily implied by the first proposition, so we have the much less interesting:

A ⊬ ((A ∧ B) ∧ C) ... ∧ n
Have you tried the neovim plugin instead of the regular vim one? I find they have different trade offs, but the neovim one is actually using neovim inside a vscode window and requires a neovim install.

Particularly, I’ve found the undo functionality to be far better with the neovim one, it never screws up. Holding alt and moving a line up and down can sometimes accidentally move your cursor one line higher or lower though.
at the end of the day we're all always reimplementing the same things, over and over again, each time re-engineering and optimising for something different.

i fully agree: the pendulum swings back yet again
Yeah that's what I mean. It's not really about our security. It's about the content providers'.
And that misses the petrol station thing. Stocking the station tanks (and that supply chain), staffing, etc, that doesn’t cost zero.
Probably a good idea to keep any birds away from the kitchen when actively cooking regardless of the type of cookware you’re using. The main danger from Teflon cookware comes from overheating it but anything cooked to a sufficiently high temperature would produce potentially toxic fumes to a bird not to mention if they’re flighted the trouble the could get into with hot pans or boiling water, etc.
> This is debugging.

On public roads. This shouldn't be allowed. If they want to do R&D, they need to build their own roads instead of endangering people going about their lives. None of these "automated" cars should be allowed on the roads, including Tesla cars with "self-driving" features enabled.
Couldn't these also be done in C# via source generators?
When I cook a roast in the oven it uses a couple of KWh. That should cover charging a Macbook for like, a month or two. I think we will be ok.
I've heard of people finding a large family (through Craigslist or something) that's already making many servings for every meal, often days ahead, and paying them to make one more serving and freeze and deliver it on a weekly basis.
Then a new entrant will surface in the market, as happens in all such situations when there’s a free market.
Ha - I had a line cook show me to get a pan fuming hot, no oil, before throwing mushrooms in, the moisture from the mushrooms create a ledenfrost effect and you get as close as you can to having some browning on the mushrooms (while keeping a lot if moisture in). Can't burn em!

I'm unhappy that I've done this exclusively with t-fal non stick pans over the years. Going to get myself a nice 3 ply stainless pan today!

Edit0: If you try it, the mushrooms sound like sneakers squeaking in a gymnasium.
It's just one example. Use a different one if you want.

People tend to trust them more because they belong to them, not Microsoft, or Hollywood, or the board manufacturer.
Yeah, he basically started consuming only fruit juice.
I build GraphQL API gateways / Routers for 5+ years now. It would be nice if trusted Documents or persisted operations were the default, but the reality is that a lot of people want to open up their GraphQL to the public. For that reason we've build a fast parser, validator, normalizer and many other things to support these use cases.
That's not the case at all in California. There's thousands upon thousands of lawns and most people water them all year. Many cities still have ordinances requiring lawns be maintained, you can't just let them die or go to weeds lest you be fined. It's expensive to convert them to drought tolerant landscaping so most people just keep grass lawns. HOAs are militant about lawn maintenance and often restrict how lawns can be redeveloped from grass.

It's only in the past decade or so new development has started requiring drought tolerant landscaping. Municipalities have also recently introduced ordinances to limit watering. But this is all a reaction to the serious droughts we've had rather than being proactive.

It also removes starches from the rice, which can result in a cleaner/less sticky pot of rice where the individual grains are better defined.

Um what? That's absurd. Cooking rice should take like 15-25 minutes, 35 minutes tops.
The researchers, and the reporters, missed a glaring problem with the inference: Perhaps the increased prevalence of the examined disorders is due to Mensa membership, not high intelligence.

Maybe people with high intelligence are just fine. Maybe the need to have some certification of this attribute, or to let others know about it is correlated with the disorders being attributed to high intelligence.
We use seasoned cast iron for eggs with very few issues. We used to use butter which led to some sticking, however recently we've been using olive oil and it's much better, with little to no sticking depending on what style we're cooking the eggs.

If we assume you're right and we are heading towards mass death and catastrophe - why is the solution to make software that uses less energy? Seems a little weak of a response to mass death?

Why not something like cloud seeding with sulfates?

https://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2023/altering-our-clouds-...

Why not the easy technical solution that doesn't relegate people to use less of a basic resource required for human development?

I have so many questions like what are the actual projections and how do we know it's effects. What of past projections that failed. Where are we getting this claim of mass death, when is it expected. Does it account for changes like the fact that we phased out coal. Does it account for the fact that we recently reduced cooling sulphate in the atmosphere.

The answer seems to be don't ask questions and if you do lots of people will die. That doesn't sound like science or good policy.
I forgot all new technologies spring out of the ground full-formed as soon as they are possible. They haven't done it yet. But look at Google's WEI.

You can also look at how any other DRM works. It's all based on hardware and software locks very similar to what TPMs do.
