Those old pages tend to be a study in linkrot. Amazing the web works as well as it does over short time spans but in the long run it all falls apart. Thank you for all the good stuff over the years by the way, it is much appreciated!
I wonder if 3.5 / 4 is really just "agents are on" or not.
I think you may be referring to motion matching, which this game uses and is discussed briefly in the article.
Haha, it must be inflation. Back when I was involved the 1TB number was the one being thrown around. Thanks for posting that link. IPAC is really doing well for themselves with all the new projects they're hosting.
This is a woefully naive position. Unusual activity on your account is an easy way to get a SAR. Calling up to check whether you’ll get a SAR is an even easier way to get a SAR.

One approach is to finish the whole compiler first and then to split it up for presentation, but I imagine most writers don't want to do that.
It's pretty funny to me when people defend PKI as something good and nice, especially while criticising EV.

As it stands, PKI is EXACTLY good for spying, MITM etc attacks.

I so wish that a) governments would become their own CAs, this would finally allow us to have actually reliable and secure government level communications
and b) tofu would be the standard when communicating with anything on the internet.

PKI is CIAs wet dream, and it's infuriating how people just skip right over that. I actually think it's highly likely that certificate pinning was actually killed because it allowed tofu and basically removed all need for outside control.
Roughly a third of the entire country is currently without mobile service. The communication from Optus has been rather lacklustre.
Just a reminder- modern democracies are a set of democratic institutions such as civil service, independent courts, free media, and some elected representatives. Rule by the people has not meant democracy for over a hundred years.

Yes.

The difference is how much choice you have for your death panel.
There’s definitely a network effect that makes everyone converge on tokio.

However, I don’t think the situation can be improved by putting an executor in std. That will even more strongly make everyone stick to the standard one.

The problem isn’t that it’s hard to pick an executor (you can pick tokio without thinking). The problem is that when someone has a legit reason to use a different executor, it’s hard to avoid dependencies using tokio, and it would be even harder to avoid dependencies using a built-in executor.
>With that in mind, it's indeed weird that they shipped MDA the way it was.

IBM seems to have thought that customers would either want super high-quality text, or lower-resolution graphics, and that the few who wanted both would buy both MDA and CGA adapters (which some people actually did). I'm pretty sure MDA was the first priority given that IBM didn't sell a CGA monitor at launch. (I'll get back to this.) And, in fact, MDA greatly outsold CGA at first.

The PC design team had many Apple II owners. The II's influence on the PC's design is obvious. Regarding video, IBM probably thought that those who wanted color would use a TV or composite monitor, on which CGA can do 16-color graphics. Those who wanted high-quality text of course would want to use a monitor, to which IBM catered with an IBM-branded monochrome model. From IBM's perspective, offering both options would be superior to the II, which in 1981 did not offer RGB output, only composite (and CGA is an improvement over Apple II's composite color video), and no Apple-branded 80-column output or way to use a monitor for MDA-like super high-quality text output.

IBM did not foresee that very few people would use TVs or composite monitors for CGA; had it done so it surely would have offered its own CGA monitor at launch. Most people instead bought a third-party RGB monitor, resulting in sharper text but the horrible 4-color palette.
Light sensitivity of modern digital sensors is far superior to any film, especially for the quality delivered. Like, really far. You won't be able to get every characteristic of that lens, such as the absurdly shallow depth of field, but you can get close with a much less exotic (but still rare) lens around f/1.

People were admiring how closely you could reproduce the look of the candlelit scene all the way back when Canon inadvertently kicked off the low-cost ciné phenomenon with the EOS 5D Mark II.

I think most know that the major barrier to making a movie proper is the hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars spent on everything else. Even ignoring paying for talent, the outrageous budgets of even lower-tier films are widely publicized.

But many are also tickled pink to make something out of ordinary life that has some of that Hollywood look.

I remembered the account of developers committing bugs so that reviewers were forced to find something instead of just giving the all clear.

Maybe there should be a group of researchers that submit papers that seem believable with known issues to avoid scientific journals stagnating. Maybe the names and institutions of the group submitting papers should be hidden so that more reputable/famous people and institutions get the same level of scrutiny as everyone else.
TL/DR: We look like idiots, but it's not our fault because:

(1) We went through lots of acquisitions and mergers. We had no control over that, really!

(2) We deal with the public, and nobody could have seen that coming!

(3) Federal law prevents any due process.

(4) Senior management only cares about calls from congresspeople and tear jerking stories about widows (that could end up in the news.) If we screw enough peasants we can find some great bonuses!

(5) We have a semi-functional bureaucracy, which is in no way our fault. Honest!

(6) Some of our most valuable customers are silly old people who do not have degrees in computer science and expect to speak to a real human to resolve their problems. The nerve of those elderly fuddy duddies! Why can't they just learn to code like the rest of the human race.

I still think lying in behalf of a corporation should be a felony or (depending on the dollar amount involved);a capital crime.

"All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection." - David Wheeler

Basically the branching points are pointers where one writes a junk memory address or the actual one to operate on. Where to get the correct addresses? A lookup table, the addresses moved into registers.

I think this could be a hack that's repeatable to a pretty good degree in many architectures.

> I don't see a house as an asset in my life.

But you do! You said you are paying rent, thus you attach value to having a place to live.

> My cost of living was dramatically lower the whole time leading up to the point where the drop-off occurs for the homeowner.

In the other response you acknowledged this is from comparing rent on a tiny apartment to mortgage on a house, which cannot be compared.

If you don't need a house you could buy a tiny apartment. That gives you the benefit of a low mortgage now and zero mortgage when you're older.
It's called professional integrity. Maybe the concept is foreign to you. Although what with the fraud maybe that doesn't apply in this case.

A $9 VPS with gigabit internet is literally one million times the bandwidth that bitcoin transactions take. ONE MILLION. Downloading the whole chain should take just over one hour. There is no argument here. You didn't use actual numbers at all. It's all fake propaganda nonsense. And again, someone using a cryptocurrency doesn't need to sync with the chain. Exchanges and nodes do.

Even though you already said it's all about bandwidth, next you'll say it's about the CPU to verify, even though that takes a second per block at most.

Then you'll say it's actually about hard drive space, even though a 512 GB SSD costs $24 dollars while fees for a single transaction spiked above $30 on average earlier this year. Right now they are at $6 USD!

You didn't make a technical argument with numbers because you can't. Your next reply won't have real numbers either, it will be more attempts to obscure what you can't defend with attacks, distractions and more copy and pasted arguments that don't add up.

Seems that the Home Assistant user base, as determined by Chamberlain, is relatively small. To hardware/software hackers this type of vendor pull-out/lock-out should always be expected. However, since the end user has physical access to the device thinks like ratgdo[1] will always be an option. While the app integration is nice, garage doors still seem to be one of those things that just needs to work in proximity and a smart phone app and alarm.com / amazon integration are superfluous add-ons.

I bought mine from Costco for the simple reason that I could return it if broke.

Containers are a crappy abstraction and VMware fumbled the bag, is my takeaway from this comment…
Also a very reasonable belief that the future will be worse for them than it was for their parents.

I’m not one of those “now is the worst time ever” people, there’s a lot to love about our current state of the world — but there’s also a lot to be legitimately worried about on a few important trajectories.
That's not at all what I said. The EU has a government, and I don't think anyone particularly disputes which government is the EU government. (I suppose one might argue that .tw is a bit different, but that's a whole different discussion, and somehow the DNS root servers know what to return for SOA and NS queries for tw.)

I'm saying that I think it really would be reasonable for the EU to require that browser follow a specified mechanism to restrict which certificates are valid for .eu. And it would be reasonable for Hungary to use the same mechanism to restrict .hu. So browsers would only accept a certificate for a .hu domain if it was signed according to standard PKIX and CA/B Forum rules and had whatever standardized attestation was required from .hu.
I have never figured out how you’re supposed to do local development if you use Aws serverless tools like Sqs, sns, lambdas etc.

There are tools like localstack out there trying to emulate Aws but when I tried it it was such a hassle to use.
Is it? Usually no, it's not. At one bank, they want me to always talk to the same person - who is generally competent but also usually not available and sometimes outright on vacation with no warning. At another bank, they want me to go through the basic 800 number - where the person who answers usually knows much less than I do. Picking up the phone is usually not a good solution.

You shouldn't trust scientists anyway, at least not without due dilligence. Science is built on skepticism.

So it depends on whether you think "endorsement" is "taking money to associate yourself with a company by appearing on video in their advertisement" or saying on the record "I endorse this company, I use their products, etc."

Most endorsements are now in the former category, although it does seem like modern podcasts also have explicit ones in the latter category too

You want to solve reproducibility? Apply forensic scrutiny to every publication?

That's a great idea, but who is going to pay for it?

Every scientist knows that it's more than possible to publish deliberately fraudulent work. Every non-scientist thinks that detecting this fraud is easy.
It would be nice if only the people with real conviction were doing things by choice, but that isn't realistic. Most people are compelled to have a job, and the system has no guarantee of placing you in the job where you best fit.

It's possible he is right, but it is also possible that these traits aren't trainable, and without that, you may not have a population sufficient enough to sustain his ideal.

Something that surprised me is elementary and middle schools hardly do recess anymore. When I was a kid growing up in the 80s, we had 30 minutes of recess every day around 10am. We then had a PE class every afternoon. Kids have too much energy to sit in a classroom and learn boring stuff, they need to burn it out first. We had 200 years of figuring out how to educate children in the US, it's like we as a society suddenly forgot.

>Children and teens need exercise and nature. In general, consumer culture has been searching for the limitations of the human mind to absorb advertising.

The one good thing about today, at least for me, is the only time I am subject to invasive advertising (like TV commercials) is when I watch sports. I absorb way less since streaming and cutting cable. I'm working on absorbing way less news, the way news is presented today is horrible for people. If I feel like I need to catch some headlines, I prep myself by thinking, "get ready for doomscroll."

It depends on what kind of photographs you're taking and the conditions.

If you're going to be taking pictures of people indoors with bad lighting you need a lens with an aperture of 2.8 or less, probably a 1.4.

If you're going to be taking group pictures indoors you'll probably need a wider angle 2.8 lens.

If you're going to be doing indoor sports a 70-200mm 2.8 is probably the minimum.

If you're going to be doing outdoor sports with good lighting a 4.0+ is probably fine.

If you're doing outdoor landscapes you just need a wide lens, like 10-30mm and a tripod.

I'm not a pro by any means, so take this with as much salt as you want.

Any camera that can handle this will do fine. There are tons of cheap full-frame cameras out there now. But lenses generally don't drop in price, even if they're really old - which is quite aggravating.
> But, generators tend to be short lived. You tend to use them to iterate over an array, rather than serving a web request (the typical use a task is put to). That means the overhead of creating the stack for a green thread isn't a small proportion of the time a long running task takes, but could well dominate the time it takes to iterate over a small array. Thus async is a much better fit for iterators.

The current async approach requires the compiler to statically calculate a fixed size for each invocation context. Except when it can't, in which case you have to dynamically allocate space for each invocation. That same logic could be used to transparently optimize stack creation, opportunistically avoiding both a pessimistically large stack and the costly guard pages. The compiler could even choose to instantiate the generator stack on the caller's stack, just as today.

async Rust optimizes the common case but completely neglects the hard case. In theory Rust users should be able to have their cake and eat it too, especially given that the difficult static analysis work already exists to support the current async model.

(I've made this point before and feel like I may have forgotten some counterpoints. I apologize in advance if that's so.)
Here is the fun part that most people don't know...universal healthcare systems wouldn't have paid for this either.

However, the patient never would known about it because it wouldn't have been on the list of "approved therapies", so the doctor never would have suggested it.

The article dances around it, but for this particular cancer, proton beam therapy has little evidence supporting it. The current treatment guidelines like NCCN list a number of evidence-based therapies for first line, second line and subsequent line treatments. Proton beam thereapy is a "hail mary" and universal healthcare systems are less expensive than the US because they don't pay for "hail marys".

So in places like Canada (whose patients, it's important to note, need to travel to the US because there are no proton beam centers) the doctor wouldn't have even considered it as a treatment option in this case.
Reports from a third party ISP is that Optus are flying technicians to at least eight sites across the country, and that it’s a problem with their BGP route reflectors. Facebook faced a similar problem last year IIRC.
First of all, before you reply please read the article. This is from an Australian-based study, so throw out your assumptions related to American situations (ie the need to let teens roam or what not).

Given that, I think the issue is far simpler: Increasingly extreme work-related demands is causing strain on families which manifest in poorer parent-child relations and higher rates of depression.

Essentially, the world is following the trends that Japan went down a few decades ago. Parents are working longer hours for less pay, with lower family interaction. Teenagers aren't stupid either, they see these trends from their parents and either stop engaging with society altogether or lash out.
> No, sorry. Just no. Stop.

I agree with your assessment, of course, but I don’t think it invalidates the comment you are responding to. Large parts of the population could plausibly think those things, despite how clear and unambiguous “scientists” were about the results.
Is there a list of all CIA employees publicly available? You know, "spies" who are doing covert ops, dealing arms and drugs and destabalizing places to overthrow governments, assasinating people, etc. Do we know who those people are? If not, why would there be a list/memorial for them when KIA? The CIA isn't even the topic here though. There are people with this clerance working for all parts of the federal government, NSA, DOJ, CIA, the branches of the military. You're telling me these thousands of people who have secret access, spread across all these departments, don't have the means to access any information a foreign enemy would find useful enough to kill over? I don't think we have a memorial wall for private citizens with TS access who are working for random government contracting firms who are killed in such a case. The federal government doesn't make memorial walls for random company employees who don't technically work for them directly. These aren't government employees, they are contractors, with access levels to our most sensitive information. I'm saying it's for sure an attack vector. How could it not be?
